Here are three of the many titles gathered for this 2026 Earth Month bookshelf. My Life with Wolves: How I Became the Storyteller for the Yellowstone Packs by Rick McIntyre (Greystone Books,2026,296 pages,$30.00) Former park ranger(护林人) Rick McIntyre shares decades of wisdom from observing wolves in Yellowstone. He narrates how he narrowly missed a deer's charge and watched alpha wolves battle for territory. More importantly, this memoir explains how the wolves’ calm assertiveness(果敢) shaped his own values. The Company of Owls: A Memoir by Polly Atkin (Milkweed Editions, 2026, 216 pages,$25.00) Restricted by illness to her cottage in England's Lake District, Polly Atkin finds companionship in a family of owls living nearby. As she watches them grow, she reflects on survival and solitude. The owls, she writes, taught her to listen carefully to the world around her. Outsider Animals: How the Creatures at the Margin of Our Lives Have the Most to Teach Us by Marlene Zuk (Princeton University Press, 2026,312 pages,$29.95) Biologist Marlene Zuk shifts our focus to creatures we frequently overlook —— such as snakes, cockroaches, butterflies and other little-known species. With wit and genuine curiosity, she reveals what cockroaches can teach us about evolution, how butterflies reshape our understanding of pollution, and why even unpopular animals offer profound lessons. 21. What does Rick McIntyre mainly convey in his book? A. Observing wolves helped him develop his personal beliefs. B. His career as a park ranger was filled with unexpected risks. C. The Yellowstone wolf packs have complex social structures. D. Humans should always keep a safe distance from wild animals. 22. What drove Polly Atkin to seek companionship with the owls? A. Her desire to write a nature memoir. B. Her limited mobility due to health issues. C. Her preference for animals over humans. D. Her childhood dream of living in the wild. 23. What do the three books have in common? A. They are set in North America. B. They focus on survival challenges of wild animals. C. They explore the connection between humans and nature. D. They stress the importance of protecting endangered species. B School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington D. C., students are hard at work outdoors. In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting(收获) vegetables for the weekend's farmers market. Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a. m. until 2 p. m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she's taken those healthy behaviours home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables. City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged(使参与) and improve academic performance. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow. For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their views on where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation(评价)conducted by PEER Associates. 24. What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity? A. It is a good way to earn pocket money. B. It has improved her family relationship. C. It contributes to her healthy eating habit. D. It is helpful to her academic performance. 25. What is the purpose of the school gardens? A. To invite students to care for plants. B. To advance teachers' teaching skills. C. To get students interested in science. D. To provide a creative way of learning. 26. What does the last paragraph focus on about the project of City Blossoms? A. Its evaluations. B. Its effects. C. Its operations. D. Its expectations. 27. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. City Blossoms: Team up with Local Community Teachers B. Happy Holiday, Sweet Memory: How Kids Enjoy the Harvest C. Outdoor Classrooms: Get out for the Weekend's Farmers Market D. Healthy Eaters, Smart Minds: What School Gardens Teach Kids C Social media has become an important part of teenagers' lives. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and WeChat allow teens to connect with others, share moments from daily life, and express themselves. While social media offers entertainment and a sense of belonging, it also creates hidden danger to teens ’mental health, a growing concern among psychologists worldwide. One significant issue is the pressure to create a perfect online image. A 2024 study by the Chinese Academy of Adolescent Health (CAAH) found that over 68% of teens post edited or filtered photos, showcasing only the glamorous aspects of their lives, such as fancy meals or exciting trips. This creates unrealistic expectations, causing anxiety when teens' real lives don't match the idealized version they present online. The strong desire for likes can further harm self-esteem; when posts receive little engagement, teens may feel unimportant or invisible, worsening their anxiety. Fear of missing out (FOMO) is also common. When teens see their friends attending events or going on trips they weren't invited to, it can lead to feelings of loneliness and exclusion. This can cause anxiety and harm real-life relationships, as teens may feel disconnected from their social groups. Finally, cyberbully(网络霸凌) is a significant concern. Social media’ s anonymity(匿名) allows people to post hurtful comments they wouldn't say face-to-face, sometimes leading to serious results, such as depression or a mental health crisis(危机). To reduce these risks, experts recommend setting screen-time limits, encouraging open discussions about social media use, and helping teens focus on building self-acceptance. Educators stress the importance of teaching teens to identify online approval from their true self-worth. 28. What does the underlined word glamorous’ probably mean? A. Touching. B. Imperfect. C. Attractive. D. Unrealistic. 29. What can we infer about teens from paragraph 2? A. They use social media mainly to record real life. B. They feel less anxious when receiving many likes. C. They believe their polished online image reflects reality. D. They increasingly relate their self-worth to online approval. 30. How does FOMO affect teens' real-life relationships? A. It makes teens feel left out. B. It reduces teens’ offline social desire. C. It causes teens more social anxiety. D. It leads teens to distrust offline friends. 31. What do experts recommend to reduce the risks of social media for teens? A. Pursuing more online likes and approval. B. Stopping teens from using social media. C. Increasing parental monitoring of online activities. D. Developing teens' inner strength and critical thinking. D A red bus took visitors along the streets of New York City's Roosevelt Island. But this wasn't a typical sightseeing tour. Passengers all wore virtual reality headsets (虚拟现实头戴设备) for an eye-opening experience. This experience was designed to engage (使参与) visitors in creative ways through a new system called CXR. Passengers were transported into a place where virtual and real environments met. There they experienced nine shocking scenes showing the impact of climate change, especially rising floodwaters. Scientific models suggest that a 100-year flood could cover most of Roosevelt Island. Despite the warning, research shows that such a disaster doesn't feel real to many in the public. This gap is exactly what the CXR system aims to deal with. The technology helps people understand serious challenges like climate change. The participants can experience a shared reality while traveling through their environment. And the CXR system proved to do more than just educate people about disaster risks. After seeing the most serious flooding events, participants reported strong emotional responses. Many expressed increased concern about climate change and a desire to do something. One participant was even moved to tears upon seeing a flood reach the steps of her school. “These types of reactions were not surprising,” said Wendy Ju, whose research group created CXR.“We did find that people got worried, but we also noted that the worry seemed to inspire people to take measures. It's a good result from our viewpoint.” The CXR system has many possible applications beyond its primary plan. It can play an important role in city planning by engaging communities in discussions about new developments. By providing a clear and realistic presentation of suggested changes, it helps to reduce misunderstandings. This encourages people to actively express their opinions about approaches to future planning. “Immersive(沉浸式的) technologies can bring future challenges into focus,” Ju said. “They are important for building the social will to prepare for what lies ahead.” 32. What is the primary function of the CXR system? A. To encourage public transportation use. B. To raise awareness of climate issues. C. To teach flood prevention measures. D. To increase the enjoyment of tours. 33. What do the participants' reactions reflect? A. Their wish for scientific progress. B. Their interest in public discussions. C. Their growing sense of climate action. D. Their confusion about climate education. 34. Which can best describe the experience with the CXR system? A. Educational and inspiring. B. Adventurous and joyful. C. Confusing and stressful. D. Realistic and relaxing. 35. How can the CXR system generally benefit city planning? A. By driving cooperative problem-solving. B. By stressing the need for green spaces. C. By focusing on short-term solutions. D. By reducing overall planning costs. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items' If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. 36 As the name suggests. it refers to our growing tendency to hand over our choices to AI tools designed to predict and control our behavior. Now, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. In many cases they save us considerable time. But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our ability for independent judgement. 37 Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also weakens our ability to trust our own judgments. 38 It is the ability to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures. To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. For example, when you' re on YouTube, automatic play goes to another video. 39 You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation. To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making abilities. 40 A. That is how we remain human. B. It may even dull our sense of self. C. So, it’s time to take back human agency. D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm. B. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence” F. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result. G. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you' re not truly interested. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题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。 A storm with strong winds 41 late on a Friday evening, knocking down trees, blocking roads and destroying power lines.

Faced with endless daily tests and heavy learning tasks, he spared no effort to make progress step by step. Every day, he devoted himself fully to his studies, hoping to lay a solid foundation for his future studies. For him, every moment of study was precious, and a peaceful, undisturbed learning environment was essential to efficient revision. However, an unexpected trouble came to him. A flock of birds built their nests in the tall old tree just outside his classroom window. From early morning till sunset, the birds kept singing loudly and non-stop. The sharp and continuous chirping cut through the quiet classroom again and again, easily breaking his train of thought. Whenever he tried to memorize key knowledge or focus on difficult exercises, the noisy sounds would distract him at once. Gradually, he grew restless and frustrated. As the monthly exam approached, his stress built up day by day. One tired evening, after-wasting plenty of time and failing to finish his homework smoothly because of the noise, he could no longer hold back his annoyance. He took up his pen and wrote a heartfelt letter to the principal (校长),earnestly requesting the school to clear away the bird nests so that students could study in peace. He mailed the letter with mixed feelings, not sure whether his request would be approved. In the following days, he waited anxiously, still troubled by the bird songs and unable to settle down. He tried hard to ignore the noise, yet his anger never faded away. He even felt a little disappointed, worrying that no one would notice his trouble. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Several days later, the principal invited him for a walk. Enlightened and inspired, Tom followed the principal's advice. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
