Joe and Arthur were twin brothers. Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. This silly argument about football teams happened almost every day, which annoyed their mother a lot.
One Saturday afternoon, the two boys were playing football with friends on an open space by the roadside, when a car suddenly turned a corner at high speed, hit the kerb, and knocked down four children, including the twins. Both were rushed to hospital. Arthur was only slightly hurt, but Joe took a heavy blow to the head and fell into unconsciousness.
After an uncomfortable night, Arthur was allowed to go home the next day. However, instead of resting, he went straight to Joe’s room. He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” Their mother took the item to the hospital and dressed Joe in the red pyjama.
The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. Suddenly, Joe’s face turned. He opened his eyes, looked at Arthur, and smiled weakly. “It’s only a game,” he whispered. “I’ll always love you, too.” The doctor arrived and, after a quick examination, announced that Joe was recovering.
A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.”
Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone.

How do you pay for things in a shop? You might rely on the reliability of hard cash, the flexibility of a credit card, or the simple convenience of a smartphone. Whatever you use today, experts predict that all these methods could soon become outdated. Instead, we will use our bodies: our eyes, our fingerprints, even our presence in the store.
In fact, this shift is already underway. A foreign company has checkout-free stores where technology tracks items taken from shelves and automatically deducts (扣除) the total from customers’ accounts when they leave. Amir Sajed, CEO of a company, claims that such innovations spell the end of the plastic credit card. Instead, wearable items like rings, wristlets, and keychains equipped with chips will allow shoppers to “seamlessly (无缝地) shop across the web, via an app, or in a store”.
However, not everyone is enthusiastic about this future. Privacy supporters warn that biometric (生物识别的) payment systems could expose sensitive personal data to misuse. “Once your fingerprint is stolen, you cannot change it like a password,” warns a network security expert Maria Gonzalez. Unlike a credit card, which can be canceled, biological characters are fixed. This concern throws doubt on whether consumers will fully accept such technologies.
Meanwhile, traditional currencies (货币) are not the only game in town. Virtual currencies have gained attention, capable of rising sharply in value — yet equally easy to crashes and net-attacks. The film In Time imagines an even more futuristic society, where time itself becomes currency, and people trade the years left in their lives. Strangely enough, bartering is also making a comeback in today’s digital age. A new startup has developed an app that promotes the exchange of goods and already claims around 100,000 members. Perhaps the only certainty is that money will keep changing — but not without raising new questions about security, privacy, and trust.
8. What do the underlined words “spell the end of” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Mark the effectiveness of. B. Speed up the acceptance of.
C. Reduce the importance of. D. Lead to the disappearance of.
9. What is Maria Gonzalez’s attitude to biometric payment systems?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
10. What is the function of the reference to the film In Time?
A. To show a creative example of future currency. B. To prove the unreliability of virtual currencies.
C. To criticize the viewpoint of trading life years. D. To explain the superiority of time in the future.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Biometric Technology B. The Diversity of Future Currencies
C. The Uncertainty of Payment Methods D. The Unavailability of Traditional Money
D
San Francisco Bay is one of the busiest waterways in the US. Ferries, cargo ships and tankers cut through its choppy (波浪起伏的) waters every day. Unfortunately, they share the bay with an unexpected visitor: gray whales searching for food.
Last year, 21 dead gray whales were found in the Bay Area, with at least 40% killed by ship strikes. Scientists believe the real number is even higher, since many bodies sink before being found. At least 10 more have died in the Bay Area so far this year.
The problem is getting worse because climate change has fundamentally changed gray whale migration patterns and feeding behaviors, forcing many starving whales to travel into San Francisco Bay in search of food. This presents significant dangers to whales that were previously able to avoid such busy ocean areas. The choppy bay conditions often make whales nearly invisible to ship crews, creating dangerous situations where strikes become likely.
To solve this crisis, researchers have launched WhaleSpotter, an AI-powered detection network that scans the bay to track them day and night. Using cameras installed on islands and ships, the system spots whale blows and heat signatures up to 2 nautical miles (海里) away. Researchers say the system’s biggest advantage is constant monitoring. Unlike human observers, these cameras can operate through the night and in foggy conditions, which are common in the bay.
When a whale is detected, AI automatically flags the sighting, which is then confirmed by trained marine mammal observers before warnings are sent via radio to ship operators. This allows ships to slow down or change course when whales are nearby. “They’ll be able to make adjustments before they get anywhere close,” said Thomas Hall, director of operations for San Francisco Bay Ferry.
The network is the first to directly combine land-based and ship detection with official ship warnings. Scientists hope to add more cameras on the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, expanding coverage across the entire bay and creating safer waters for these endangered creatures.
12. What has led to gray whales entering San Francisco Bay?
A. Fewer natural enemies in the bay.
B. The shortage of their original food sources.
C. Climate-caused changes in reproducing habits.
D. The abundance of food created by shipping activities.
13. Why are many gray whales killed by ship strikes in San Francisco Bay?
A. No monitoring system existed before.
B. Marine mammal observers refuse to work at night.
C. Heavy traffic and poor visibility work together.
D. Climate change has worsened the foggy conditions.
14. What can we learn about WhaleSpotter?
A. It replaces human observers. B. It allows ships to react early.
C. It communicates directly with ship operators. D. It covers the whole San Francisco Bay area.
15. What can be inferred about the future of gray whales in San Francisco Bay?
A. Their chances of survival will likely increase. B. They will grow rapidly in population.
C. Their living environment will improve. D. They will no longer be threatened by ship strikes.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been building a small robot for the school science fair for three weeks. It was not beautiful, but it could pick up paper cups with two wooden arms. On Friday afternoon, during the final test in the lab, one wheel stopped turning. Mr Chen, my science teacher, checked it and said the motor (发动机) controller was burned.
“You can still join the fair if you replace this part by Monday,” he said.
I knew what that meant. The part cost twenty-eight dollars. I had twelve in a jar at home, saved from washing cars for neighbors. My mother had just paid for my little sister’s medicine, and I did not want to ask for more.
I walked to the bus stop in a light rain, thinking of the unfinished robot on the lab table. When I bent to tie my shoe, I noticed a brown wallet under the bench. Inside were a driver’s license, three fifty-dollar bills, and a small card with a phone number on it. The license belonged to Robert Grant, whose address was only two streets from my apartment.
For a moment, I felt the rain on my neck and the heavy coins in my pocket. With that money, my robot could move again. No one had seen me pick up the wallet. Then I remembered how Dad always said, “The quickest way is not always the right way.” I put the wallet into my backpack and got off the bus one stop early.
Mr Grant’s house was small. I knocked, but no one answered. Through the window I could see a walking stick near the sofa. I wrote a note with my phone number, pushed it under the door, and turned back toward home.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At home, I told Mom what had happened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, Mr Grant called to thank me.

Joe and Arthur were twin brothers. Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. This silly argument about football teams happened almost every day, which annoyed their mother a lot.
One Saturday afternoon, the two boys were playing football with friends on an open space by the roadside, when a car suddenly turned a corner at high speed, hit the kerb, and knocked down four children, including the twins. Both were rushed to hospital. Arthur was only slightly hurt, but Joe took a heavy blow to the head and fell into unconsciousness.
After an uncomfortable night, Arthur was allowed to go home the next day. However, instead of resting, he went straight to Joe’s room. He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” Their mother took the item to the hospital and dressed Joe in the red pyjama.
The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. Suddenly, Joe’s face turned. He opened his eyes, looked at Arthur, and smiled weakly. “It’s only a game,” he whispered. “I’ll always love you, too.” The doctor arrived and, after a quick examination, announced that Joe was recovering.
A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.”
Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone.
4. What can we know about the twins?
A. They were young football players. B. They liked different football teams.
C. They were fond of the same color. D. They often argued with their mother.
5. Why did Arthur take Joe’s red pajama out?

I want him home.” (他把Joe的红色睡衣裤从枕头底下拿出来。Arthur用颤抖的声音告诉母亲:“他会需要它的。这会让他好起来。我想让他回家。”)”和第四段中“The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. (第二天,Arthur回来了,穿着Joe的一件红衬衫。他坐在哥哥的床边,握着Joe的手,开始轻声唱《你永远不会独行》来叫醒哥哥,并说他再也不会争吵了。)”可知,Arthur拿出Joe的红色睡衣是为了给Joe精神上的支持。

You sing beautifully, you know.” (一周后,Joe完全康复了。有一天,在和父亲一起去看比赛之前,他收到了Arthur送的一枚利物浦队徽,Arthur祝愿他的球队好运。Joe挥手回应道:“谢谢。我也希望你今天支持的蓝色球队表现出色。你知道吗,你唱歌很好听。”)”可知,Joe回家后兄弟俩相互祝对方支持的球队好运,不再争论,说明他们对彼此更加友好了。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone. (他们的母亲从窗户里看到这一幕,感动得热泪盈眶。她知道这对双胞胎兄弟永远会彼此支持,因为他们永远不会独行。)”可知,文章通过讲述兄弟俩从为球队争吵到在危难时刻互相支持的故事,展现了家庭之爱的重要性。

How do you pay for things in a shop? You might rely on the reliability of hard cash, the flexibility of a credit card, or the simple convenience of a smartphone. Whatever you use today, experts predict that all these methods could soon become outdated. Instead, we will use our bodies: our eyes, our fingerprints, even our presence in the store.
In fact, this shift is already underway. A foreign company has checkout-free stores where technology tracks items taken from shelves and automatically deducts (扣除) the total from customers’ accounts when they leave. Amir Sajed, CEO of a company, claims that such innovations spell the end of the plastic credit card. Instead, wearable items like rings, wristlets, and keychains equipped with chips will allow shoppers to “seamlessly (无缝地) shop across the web, via an app, or in a store”.
However, not everyone is enthusiastic about this future. Privacy supporters warn that biometric (生物识别的) payment systems could expose sensitive personal data to misuse. “Once your fingerprint is stolen, you cannot change it like a password,” warns a network security expert Maria Gonzalez. Unlike a credit card, which can be canceled, biological characters are fixed. This concern throws doubt on whether consumers will fully accept such technologies.
Meanwhile, traditional currencies (货币) are not the only game in town. Virtual currencies have gained attention, capable of rising sharply in value — yet equally easy to crashes and net-attacks. The film In Time imagines an even more futuristic society, where time itself becomes currency, and people trade the years left in their lives. Strangely enough, bartering is also making a comeback in today’s digital age. A new startup has developed an app that promotes the exchange of goods and already claims around 100,000 members. Perhaps the only certainty is that money will keep changing — but not without raising new questions about security, privacy, and trust.
8. What do the underlined words “spell the end of” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Mark the effectiveness of. B. Speed up the acceptance of.
C. Reduce the importance of. D. Lead to the disappearance of.
9. What is Maria Gonzalez’s attitude to biometric payment systems?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
10. What is the function of the reference to the film In Time?
A. To show a creative example of future currency. B. To prove the unreliability of virtual currencies.
C. To criticize the viewpoint of trading life years. D. To explain the superiority of time in the future.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Biometric Technology B. The Diversity of Future Currencies
C. The Uncertainty of Payment Methods D. The Unavailability of Traditional Money
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章围绕支付方式展开,指出现金、信用卡、手机支付或将被淘汰,介绍生物识别支付、虚拟货币、以时间为货币、物物交换等多种未来货币形式,同时提及各类新型支付存在隐私、安全隐患,展现未来货币形式的多样化。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Amir Sajed, CEO of a company, claims that such innovations spell the end of the plastic credit card. Instead, wearable items like rings, wristlets, and keychains equipped with chips will allow shoppers to ‘seamlessly (无缝地) shop across the web, via an app, or in a store’.(一家公司的首席执行官阿米尔・萨杰德称,这类创新将宣告塑料信用卡的spell the end。取而代之的是内置芯片的戒指、腕带、钥匙扣等可穿戴设备,能让消费者线上线下无缝购物)”可推知,塑料信用卡被内置芯片的戒指、腕带、钥匙扣等可穿戴设备替代,这说明塑料信用卡结束了,由此可推知,spell the end of 意为“使……走向消失、终结”,和D选项 “Lead to the disappearance of(导致……消失)”含义一致。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Privacy supporters warn that biometric (生物识别的) payment systems could expose sensitive personal data to misuse. ‘Once your fingerprint is stolen, you cannot change it like a password,’ warns a network security expert Maria Gonzalez.(隐私保护支持者警示,生物识别支付系统可能导致敏感个人数据遭滥用。网络安全专家玛丽亚・冈萨雷斯警示:一旦指纹被盗,无法像密码一样更换)”可推知,Maria Gonzalez 对生物识别支付系统抱有担忧。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The film In Time imagines an even more futuristic society, where time itself becomes currency, and people trade the years left in their lives.(电影《时间规划局》构想了一个极具未来感的社会,时间本身成为货币,人们交易自己剩余的生命年限)”可推知,作者提及这部电影,是为了举出一种富有创意的未来货币案例。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章依次介绍生物识别支付、虚拟货币、时间货币、数字时代回归的以物易物等多种未来支付 / 货币形式,核心讲述未来货币的多样类型,B选项“The Diversity of Future Currencies(未来货币的多样性)” 能够完整概括全文内容。

San Francisco Bay is one of the busiest waterways in the US. Ferries, cargo ships and tankers cut through its choppy (波浪起伏的) waters every day. Unfortunately, they share the bay with an unexpected visitor: gray whales searching for food.
Last year, 21 dead gray whales were found in the Bay Area, with at least 40% killed by ship strikes. Scientists believe the real number is even higher, since many bodies sink before being found. At least 10 more have died in the Bay Area so far this year.
The problem is getting worse because climate change has fundamentally changed gray whale migration patterns and feeding behaviors, forcing many starving whales to travel into San Francisco Bay in search of food. This presents significant dangers to whales that were previously able to avoid such busy ocean areas. The choppy bay conditions often make whales nearly invisible to ship crews, creating dangerous situations where strikes become likely.
To solve this crisis, researchers have launched WhaleSpotter, an AI-powered detection network that scans the bay to track them day and night. Using cameras installed on islands and ships, the system spots whale blows and heat signatures up to 2 nautical miles (海里) away. Researchers say the system’s biggest advantage is constant monitoring. Unlike human observers, these cameras can operate through the night and in foggy conditions, which are common in the bay.
When a whale is detected, AI automatically flags the sighting, which is then confirmed by trained marine mammal observers before warnings are sent via radio to ship operators. This allows ships to slow down or change course when whales are nearby. “They’ll be able to make adjustments before they get anywhere close,” said Thomas Hall, director of operations for San Francisco Bay Ferry.
The network is the first to directly combine land-based and ship detection with official ship warnings. Scientists hope to add more cameras on the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, expanding coverage across the entire bay and creating safer waters for these endangered creatures.
12. What has led to gray whales entering San Francisco Bay?
A. Fewer natural enemies in the bay.
B. The shortage of their original food sources.
C. Climate-caused changes in reproducing habits.
D. The abundance of food created by shipping activities.
13. Why are many gray whales killed by ship strikes in San Francisco Bay?
A. No monitoring system existed before.
B. Marine mammal observers refuse to work at night.
C. Heavy traffic and poor visibility work together.
D. Climate change has worsened the foggy conditions.
14. What can we learn about WhaleSpotter?
A. It replaces human observers. B. It allows ships to react early.
C. It communicates directly with ship operators. D. It covers the whole San Francisco Bay area.
15. What can be inferred about the future of gray whales in San Francisco Bay?
A. Their chances of survival will likely increase. B. They will grow rapidly in population.
C. Their living environment will improve. D. They will no longer be threatened by ship strikes.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍旧金山海湾船只频繁往来,气候变化导致灰鲸因食物短缺进入海湾,频繁发生船只撞击致死鲸鱼的事故;科研人员推出 AI 监测系统 WhaleSpotter 追踪鲸鱼,提前向船只发出预警,未来还计划扩大监测范围,以此保护濒危灰鲸。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The problem is getting worse because climate change has fundamentally changed gray whale migration patterns and feeding behaviors, forcing many starving whales to travel into San Francisco Bay in search of food.(这一问题愈发严峻,因为气候变化彻底改变了灰鲸的迁徙模式与觅食习性,许多饥饿的灰鲸不得不进入旧金山海湾寻找食物)”可知,灰鲸进入海湾是因为原有食物短缺。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“San Francisco Bay is one of the busiest waterways in the US. Ferries, cargo ships and tankers cut through its choppy (波浪起伏的) waters every day.(旧金山湾是美国最繁忙的水道之一,每天都有渡轮、货船和油轮在汹涌的海面上航行)”以及第三段“The choppy bay conditions often make whales nearly invisible to ship crews, creating dangerous situations where strikes become likely.(波涛汹涌的海湾环境常常使鲸鱼几乎对船员不可见,从而引发危险情况,容易发生碰撞)”可知,船只交通繁忙、水域能见度差共同造成大量鲸鱼被船只撞击。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“This allows ships to slow down or change course when whales are nearby. ‘They’ll be able to make adjustments before they get anywhere close,’ said Thomas Hall.(该系统能让船只在鲸鱼靠近时减速或改道,船只可以在靠近鲸鱼前做出调整)”可知,WhaleSpotter 能让船只提前做出应对。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Scientists hope to add more cameras on the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, expanding coverage across the entire bay and creating safer waters for these endangered creatures.(科学家计划增设摄像头扩大监测范围,为濒危灰鲸打造更安全的水域)”可推知,这套预警系统不断完善,灰鲸存活概率很可能提升。

How are you doing? I’m writing to invite you to go grape picking with us next weekend.
We plan to meet at the school gate at 8 a.m. next Saturday and then take a bus to Green Farm, which is about 30 minutes away. Upon arrival, the farmers will show us around and teach us how to pick grapes properly. Then we’ll spend about two hours picking grapes ourselves. After that, we’ll enjoy a delicious farm lunch together. You can also taste fresh grapes and even buy some to take home.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been building a small robot for the school science fair for three weeks. It was not beautiful, but it could pick up paper cups with two wooden arms. On Friday afternoon, during the final test in the lab, one wheel stopped turning. Mr Chen, my science teacher, checked it and said the motor (发动机) controller was burned.
“You can still join the fair if you replace this part by Monday,” he said.
I knew what that meant. The part cost twenty-eight dollars. I had twelve in a jar at home, saved from washing cars for neighbors. My mother had just paid for my little sister’s medicine, and I did not want to ask for more.
I walked to the bus stop in a light rain, thinking of the unfinished robot on the lab table. When I bent to tie my shoe, I noticed a brown wallet under the bench. Inside were a driver’s license, three fifty-dollar bills, and a small card with a phone number on it. The license belonged to Robert Grant, whose address was only two streets from my apartment.
For a moment, I felt the rain on my neck and the heavy coins in my pocket. With that money, my robot could move again. No one had seen me pick up the wallet. Then I remembered how Dad always said, “The quickest way is not always the right way.” I put the wallet into my backpack and got off the bus one stop early.
Mr Grant’s house was small. I knocked, but no one answered. Through the window I could see a walking stick near the sofa. I wrote a note with my phone number, pushed it under the door, and turned back toward home.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At home, I told Mom what had happened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, Mr Grant called to thank me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
At home, I told Mom what had happened. She listened quietly, then put her hand on my shoulder. “Your father would be proud,” she said softly. Then I called the number on the small card in the wallet. A young woman — Mr Grant’s daughter, answered. She explained that her father had fallen that afternoon and was in hospital for a check. Since she couldn’t leave his side, I offered to bring the wallet to the hospital. Half an hour later, she met me at the entrance. When I handed her the wallet, her eyes grew red with relief. “The money was for his medicine,” she said. I felt my face burn.
That evening, Mr Grant called to thank me. When I mentioned my robot’s burned controller, he said he might have a spare part. The next day, he came to our school lab with Mr Chen and handed me a small box. Inside was a used but perfect motor controller, not bought as a reward but found in his old toolbox. On Monday, my robot moved slowly across the table, and I understood that honesty had not cost me a chance. It had built one.
