South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands The sea protected areas in the Southern Ocean cover an area five times larger than the UK and were set up by the British government in 2012 and enlarged in 2013 and 2019.Its no-fishing areas,where all fishing activity is not allowed,cover 283,000 sq km.And they include the richest areas of seafloor life. including all coastal waters around South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands at depths below 100 metres. Pitcairn Islands Set up in 2016,the MPA covers the whole of the islands'Exclusive Economic Zone in one of the most remote parts of the Pacific Ocean.Four volcanic islands form the smallest village in the world with just 47 people.The sea protected areas are to protect some of the world's most original ocean habitats from fishing activities. The Kerguelen Islands The Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean are also known as the Lonely Islands.France keeps a group of 45 to 100 soldiers and scientists living and doing research on the small islands which have no original population.France announced the waters around the Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean as sea protected areas in 2006 21.What can be found in Coral Sea? A.French soldiers. B.Large sea animals. C.Lonely islands D.Four volcanic islands. 22.What is special about Pitcairn Islands? A.It has the richest sea life B.Its area was increased twice. C.It has villagers living there. D.No one lives there besides scientists. 23.Which sea protected areas was set up first? A.South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands B.Coral Sea C.Pitcairn Islands D.The Kerguelen Islands B When I was a child,I drew a face.A grown-up corrected me quickly with a circle,round eyes,a seven-shaped nose and a curved mouth.I stood confused,for this cold,mechanical pattern felt nothing like the lively faces I knew in real life. As I grew up,I kept wondering how to draw a real face.Once,I got a chance to ask people to draw each other following two rules:never lift the pencil,and never look down at the paper.They could only look at their partner.After a minute,the drawings were terrible but wonderful.Why?Because they had drawn what they truly saw,not what they thought a face should look like.They also did something rare: they made eye-to-eye,face-to-face contact for almost a full minute without looking away.They slowed down,focused fully,and truly noticed another person.That was the secret to drawing"a real face". Later,as an illustrated journalist,I once planned a drawn story about how public libraries served the people.I explored every corner of the library and genuinely connected with the staff.I found with their intentional,public-spirited help,those ordinary facilities served people in far more meaningful ways. Computers that I assumed were for checking out books or emails were actually lifelines for people searching for jobs and housing.The sinks in the public restroom served as a laundromat (and showers for the homeless.The entirely new and rich truth contributed to my series of breathing drawings I do not hope everyone becomes an artist,but everyone can learn to see deeply.Slow down,pay attention,and truly observe;you will rediscover love for the world and all people around you.We urgently need this courage-to see each other and ourselves clearly,and to honor the real truth hidden in plain sight. 24.What confused the author in the first paragraph? A.A fixed concept.B.The adult's criticism.C.A sharp contrast.D.The unclear drawing rules. 25.Why were the drawings terrible but wonderful in paragraph 2? A.They were messy but detailed. B.They were rough but lively. C.They appeared ugly but organized. D.They seemed simple but friendly. 26.What major discovery did the author make about library facilities? A.They have more practical uses than thought B.They offer professional support to all visitors C.They meet different groups'special living needs. D.They are specially built for poor homeless people. 27.What can we learn from this passage? A.Drawing skills improve with continuous practice and persistent patience. B.Deep seeing requires slowing down and observing without preconceptions. C.Public libraries offer many hidden services that few people know about. D.Adults often have a misunderstanding of children's creative expressions. C Army ants are commonly found in Africa,South America,and Central America.They are known for being a massive army that can build a new path out of themselves when encountering obstacles. Scientists from Princeton University study the "living"bridges allowing the ant colony (to travel efficiently.They focus on the collective intelligence exhibited by the species and how this behavior can help develop robots that can cooperate as a group. When army ants encounter obstacles such as a gap between leaves or branches,they will connect themselves across that gap while others walk on top of them.However,building the living bridges comes at a cost to the ant colony because the ants that take part in supporting the bridge are not available to hunt. Using their tiny brains,the ants can weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge.In studying the decision-making ability of the ants,the researchers discovered that the ants build bridges where they get the most significant benefit for the least amount of bodies.They identified a sweet spot where the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge but not so large that it will take too many ants. The collective intelligence of army ants demonstrates how individual-level interactions can produce coordinated (group behavior.By extracting the rules used by individual army ants in building living bridges,engineers can program a group of simple robots to create structures that are connected. Such systems can exhibit the beneficial properties observed in ant bridges,like real-time optimization of position and shape,adaptability to local conditions,and rapid construction and deconstruction without needing external building materials. For a long time,it has been a challenge in robotics to take robot parts and allow the robot to piece itself together and solve more significant problems.According to engineering professor David Hu from the Georgia Institute of Technology,army ants are proof that such a kind of robot can survive and have problems to solve in the real world. 28.Why do scientists study the behavior of army ants? A.The ants often take collective action. B.It brings insights for building robots. C.It is different from that of other animals. D.The ants travel more efficiently than humans. 29.What can we infer about army ants from paragraph 4? A.They can weigh what they get. B.They form a bridge over any gap. C.They are competitive creatures D.They often share their decisions. 30.What is a distinct feature of the ant bridge? A.Low stability. B.Single structure. C.Strong dependence. D.High adaptability 31.What is the challenge that robots face according to the text? A.Working side by side with humans. B.Working in an unpredictable environment. C.Developing autonomous integrating ability D.Increasing the flexibility of robotic arms. 0 For those in the doldrums,few things are more annoying than being told to exercise.But the advice is probably right.Many studies show that exercise improves mood and reduces anxiety.Two large reviews from earlier this year found that exercise works. The first review combined results from 69 studies on exercise and depression.The second looked at more than 1,000 trials with nearly 80,000 people.Both reached the same conclusion:exercise can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety almost as much as standard treatments. However,there are some important problems.In exercise studies,people know whether they are exercising or not.This means their reports of mood changes may be influenced by what they hope or expect to happen.Also,the exercise studies were not directly compared with drug or treatment studies in the same trial.Some experts believe this makes the comparison unfair.Despite these problems,most researchers agree that exercise really does help improve mental health. So,what kind of exercise works best?Activities like running,walking,swimming,or cycling seem to be especially helpful.For people with depression,exercising in a group or under supervision ( works better than solo exercising.The benefits usually appear after several weeks or months of regular activity.For anxiety,lower-intensity exercise,such as gentle walking or yoga,appears to produce the best results. Why does exercise improve mood?Scientists are not completely sure.The old idea that exercise creates a"high"by releasing endorphins has little scientific support.A study in 2021 found that blocking endorphins did not reduce the good feelings runners reported after exercise.Instead,researchers now think that chemicals called endocannabinoids may be responsible.These are natural substances produced by the body that can lift mood and reduce anxiety. Exercise also helps the brain in other ways.Dopamine plays a key role in keeping effort and reward in balance;therefore,increased dopamine levels after exercise can help lessen the lack of motivation that frequently accompanies depression. Besides,exercise offers psychological benefits.It gives people a sense of achievement,control,and progress.All of these are known to improve mood.So there are plenty of good reasons to work up a sweat. 32.What does the underlined phrase "in the doldrums"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Feeling down. B.Being angry. C.Feeling energetic. D.Being confused. 33.What does paragraph 3 focus on? A.The steps of conducting a trial. B.The advantages of drug treatment. C.The limitations of previous studies. D.The causes of mood improvement. 34.Which type of exercise works best for depression? A.Low-intensity activity alone. B.Group or instructed exercise. C.Short and demanding workouts D.Yoga and gentle walking. 35.Why does higher dopamine help with depression? A.It lessens flexibility in the brain B.It restores the drive to act. C.It creates a feeling of achievement. D.It makes the brain work more slowly. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 The Paradox of Choice:Why More Is Less People often assume that the more choices they have,the happier and more satisfied they will be.In modern society,we are surrounded by an endless number of decisions,from small daily choices such as food and clothes to important life decisions such as education and careers.36 However,psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of "the paradox of choice",which suggests that too many choices can actually lead to stress,anxiety,and dissatisfaction.37 They may worry about making the wrong choice or missing out on better opportunities.This mental pressure is known as "choice overload". 38 Even when people choose something they like,they may continue to wonder whether another option would have been better.This feeling of doubt prevents them from fully enjoying their choice and often leads to regret. Furthermore,too many choices can make people set unreasonably high standards. 391n contrast,having fewer choices allows people to make decisions more easily and feel more confident about their final choice. To avoid the negative effects of too many choices,experts suggest limiting options and focusing on personal needs rather than searching for perfection.40 Understanding the paradox of choice helps people make calmer,clearer,and happier decisions in daily life. A.Making wise decisions is essential for a happy and fulfilling life. B.People tend to spend too much time comparing different choices. C.Too many choices also reduce satisfaction after a decision is made. D.When people are faced with too many options,they often struggle to make a decision E.They begin to expect perfect results,and when reality falls short,they feel disappointed. F.Many people believe that having more options increases freedom and improves the quality of decisions. G.By accepting that "good enough"is often sufficient,people can reduce stress and feel more satisfied with their decisions. 第三部分：英语知识运用 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 "Do you remember me?"That Friday email came 34 years after we first met."I think of you often," I replied.How could I 41 Andrea?She was the 8-year-old girl I met on the night of a 1990 plane 42 That evening changed us both. 43 to the hospital,I found the emergency room 44 with an unknown number of survivors,some crying,some 45 and others staring blankly in sorrow.In the ICU,an injured girl 46,"Am I going to die?""No,"I replied.With a look of 47 that I'll never forget, she asked,"May I go to sleep?"I nodded.

Fliss grew up in the city.In 2017,she moved to the seaside where she opened a bath and skincare shop.Upon arrival,she couldn't believe how much litter was left"senselessly"on the beach.In fact,she was shocked by the "unavoidable"amount of litter she found while taking Molly for walks. Being a person who cares a lot about her surroundings,Fliss decided that she had to do something about it before the tide carried the litter into the sea,threatening marine life. One day,while collecting litter on the beach,Fliss saw Molly running towards her with an empty water bottle in her mouth.As Molly drew near,she dropped the bottle and set out to find other waste.This gave Fliss an idea:what if she could train Molly to find all those plastic bottles and bags,and make good use of them? The training started and Fliss was surprised at how fast Molly learned.Before long,the clever girl would venture(冒险)to the seaside on her own and come home with her“prize”.She had soon filled Fliss'house with pieces of rubbish from the local beach.At one point,Fliss'garage was 60%filled with beach litter waiting to be distributed to local artists for use in their artwork. When Fliss heard paws on the door the other day,she went to greet her good girl as usual.To her surprise,she saw Molly carrying a small plastic purse in her mouth.Fliss opened the purse and gasped (Inside was a passport,several credit cards,and a large sum of money. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Fliss immediately took the purse to the local police station with Molly.

Buried in heavy academic work,most of us remain seated all break time,which does great harm to our health.We can choose easy activities,such as stretching bodies,walking outside and doing eye exercises.Taking regular break exercise not only relaxes our tired muscles and nervous mind,but also helps us stay focused,improve study efficiency and reduce exam pressure. Only by exercising properly can we keep energetic for long-term study.Let's take action actively！ Possible version 2: Take Exercise During Breaks As senior three students,we often sit in classrooms during breaks,buried in books,which is bad for our health. Actually,short and simple exercises work well:we can do stretching for 5 minutes,skip rope with classmates,or just walk around the corridor.These activities don't take much time but can relax our stiff muscles and refresh our minds quickly. Small as they are,these movements help us stay healthy and study more efficiently.Let's stand up and move our bodies during breaks! 续写范文： Fliss immediately took the purse to the local police station with Molly.When they arrived, Fliss tied Molly to a fireplug outside and went in herself.She handed the purse to a police officer and explained what had happened.Greatly touched,he shook her hand and thanked her for doing her duty,promising that he would do his best to find the owner.Fliss felt reassured,went back home with Molly and cooked a large steak for Molly as her reward.The next day,a journalist called to make an appointment for an interview. When the journalist came,they two were on the beach.The journalist was surprised to find that Molly was picking up litter,following her master.Fliss told the journalist it was on the way to collecting litter that Molly had found the purse.Hearing this,Molly stopped,wagging her tail as if she understood the whole situation.Having learned about the whole story,especially Molly's extraordinary feats,the journalist felt a strong sense of duty arising---If a dog could care for the environment,why not people?.Deeply impressed,the journalist took some pictures and decided to make their contribution to the ocean environment public.To help,he picked up a plastic bag.The next day they were on the front page of the newspaper. 听力原文： 听力材料 Text 1 W:I tried that new recipe you shared,the chocolate cookies.They were a hit with my family M:I'm glad you liked them.I've shared that recipe with so many people,and they all say the same thing.Baking can be so rewarding.
