M: What do you like about skateboarding?
W: There’s nothing like the feeling of riding, just you and your board. I feel completely free when I’m doing it.
M: How do you prepare for major competitions?
W: A couple of days before the competition, I rest and prepare mentally. This gets me into the “zone”, ready to compete. I create a picture of the competition in my head, where I watch myself getting that medal.
M: When I watched your performance, what surprised me was how you rode your board compared to other skateboarders. Your skating looked particularly smooth.
W: Thanks. I train a lot on balance and rhythm, so maybe that is what makes the difference.

【解析】
【原文】M: Welcome to my talk about being an architect. What made me choose this job? As a child, I loved to go to the museum where I saw photos of modern and ancient buildings. Then at high school, I attended a careers event, where I watched a wonderful documentary about an architect’s life — that’s what truly inspired me to become an architect. What’s great about being an architect is that I work in different places and even abroad too. Another thing is that I have all sorts of customers. That’s what I like best. And of course, it’s a well-paid job. Being an architect can be difficult. I have to work with numbers and know a lot about the laws and rules regarding architecture. Sometimes, I know a particular type of wood will look perfect, but it’s too expensive or not available, so I have to find something else that’s suitable, which worries me. What would I love to design next? Recently, I saw new floating homes — such a good idea in places where flooding is a problem. I also read about ideas to develop a town below the ground. But I’m wondering about building homes on the moon. It would be a challenge, but I’m very interested in it!

I spent my childhood bodysurfing with my grandmother on Long Island in New York and snorkeling (浮潜) around the coral reefs of the Florida Keys with my dad. I even got to try SNUBA diving — a form of surface-supplied diving that uses an underwater breathing system — at just 8 years old.
When it came time for college, I never considered anything other than a science major. I earned a bachelor’s degree in wildlife science from Virginia Tech. After graduating, I worked as a biological technician for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in North Carolina, assisting with a range of projects that included staring at photos to count the barnacles (藤壶) on dolphin fins, as well as checking up on dolphin stomachs to document their contents.
After working for a couple years, I attended graduate school to earn a master’s degree in marine biology from Florida Atlantic University. For my research, I worked with Denise Herzing, Ph. D., founder and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project. I spent my summers living at sea in the Bahamas, free-diving among dolphins to study their behavior, communication and ecology. Even with the temperamental (喜怒无常的) crew, seasickness during rough seas, and painful skin problems because of stings (蛰伤), it was a dream come true.
Getting used to human presence, those dolphins granted me access to the most intimate moments of their lives. I observed baby dolphins learn to swim and hunt, watched mothers nurse their young and glimpsed males’ fights for the attention of shy females. Watching their relationships and struggles due to human activity, I ultimately developed an interest in storytelling and conservation photography.
Now, I try to combine my scientific background, writing and artistic ability to help people emotionally connect to wild subjects and experience the wonders of nature. I hope my efforts in science communication increase ocean literacy, raise awareness of conservation issues, and inspire positive action toward the environment.
24. Why does the author mention his childhood in paragraph 1?
A. To show he had a wonderful childhood. B. To tell about his growing environment.
C. To show the ocean is in his blood. D. To recommend activities in the sea.
25. How did the author choose his major?
A. By following his heart. B. By taking his parents’ advice.
C. By comparing different majors. D. By consulting biological technicians.
26. Which of the following can best describe the author’s life in the Bahamas?
A. Busy but simple. B. Difficult and lonely.
C. Interesting and relaxing. D. Challenging but worthy.
27. What did the work with dolphins inspire the author to do?
A. Focus on writing stories about them. B. Begin to enjoy the wonders of nature.
C. Change his work to art photography. D. Encourage people to protect them through his efforts.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. D
【解析】

I even got to try SNUBA diving — a form of surface-supplied diving that uses an underwater breathing system — at just 8 years old.(我童年时和奶奶在纽约长岛一起人体冲浪,和爸爸则在佛罗里达群岛的珊瑚礁附近浮潜。我甚至在8岁时就尝试了SNUBA潜水——一种使用水下呼吸系统进行的水面供气潜水方式)”可知,作者在第一段提到自己的童年,是为了表明海洋已融入他的血脉。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When it came time for college, I never considered anything other than a science major.(到了大学选择的时候,我除了理科专业之外,从未考虑过其他任何方向)”可知,作者跟随内心的选择来选择自己的专业。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Even with the temperamental (喜怒无常的) crew, seasickness during rough seas, and painful skin problems because of stings (蛰伤), it was a dream come true.(尽管要应对喜怒无常的船员、风浪天的晕船反应,还有被蛰伤引发的疼痛性皮肤问题,这段生活依然圆了我的梦想)”可知,作者在巴哈马的生活充满挑战但值得。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Watching their relationships and struggles due to human activity, I ultimately developed an interest in storytelling and conservation photography.(观察到海豚之间的相处关系,以及它们因人类活动而面临的生存挣扎,我最终对叙事和自然保护摄影产生了兴趣)”以及第五段“Now, I try to combine my scientific background, writing and artistic ability to help people emotionally connect to wild subjects and experience the wonders of nature. I hope my efforts in science communication increase ocean literacy, raise awareness of conservation issues, and inspire positive action toward the environment.(如今,我努力将科学背景、写作能力与艺术才能相结合,帮助人们在情感上与野生动物建立联系,感受大自然的奇妙之处。我希望自己在科学传播方面的努力能够提升公众对海洋的认知,增强人们对生态保护问题的关注,并激励人们采取积极行动保护环境)”可知,与海豚共事的经历激励作者通过自己的努力鼓励人们保护它们。
C
In some cities, as many as one in four office spaces are empty. Some start-ups are giving them a second life. Vertical (垂直的) indoor farms — where crops can be grown in climate-controlled environments using the latest planting techniques — have been popping up around the world.
The open-plan nature of most modern offices makes them suitable for indoor farm use. Still, repurposing, particularly to ensure a space can accommodate the proper equipment and has proper electrical, heating, ventilation (通风), and air conditioning systems, can be difficult.
The Calgary Tower Project, developed by the company Agriplay Ventures, has worked to overcome these challenges. Agriplay uses 1-by-2.5m modular racks (有标准组件的架子) rising up to 3m tall, which can easily adapt to any space with ventilation. The racks are also easy to remove once a project is completed.
Unoccupied office buildings are often close to final consumers. In a former paper storage warehouse in Arlington, about a mile outside of Washington, D. C., Area 2 Farms is growing over 180 organic varieties of green vegetables. By serving consumers within 10 miles or less, the company has driven down transport costs and any associated carbon footprint.
Energy use, however, is the “Achilles’ heel” of this field, says Fraser. Vertical farms need a lot of electricity to run lighting and ventilation systems, smart devices, and automated harvesting technologies. “But if energy is sourced from renewable sources, they can outperform regular farms in this regard, too,” he says. They face other challenges, too. And, for now, aside from leafy greens, most indoor facilities cannot yet mass produce other types of crops like wheat, corn or rice.
“One thing cities dislike is unused spaces that don’t drive economic growth,” says Fraser. “If indoor farm projects in cities like Arlington prove successful, others may follow suit.”
28. What can be learned about Agriplay?
A. It helps clients locate storage areas. B. It develops new planting techniques.
C. It focuses on maintaining office buildings. D. It offers equipment suited for indoor farming.
29. What does the author indicate by mentioning Arlington?
A. The achievements of Area 2 Farms. B. The benefits of urban indoor farms.
C. The significance of vertical farming. D. The popularity of organic vegetables.
30. Which word is closest in meaning to “Achilles’ heel” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. Core. B. Future. C. Weakness. D. Advantage.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Organic Farms B. A New Life for Empty Offices
C. A Bright Future for City Farmers D. The World of High-Tech Agriculture
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍了城市中大量闲置的办公空间被改造为垂直室内农场,文章说明了这种改造适配性、优势,也指出了该模式目前面临的挑战,并对其发展前景进行了展望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The open-plan nature of most modern offices makes them suitable for indoor farm use. Still, repurposing, particularly to ensure a space can accommodate the proper equipment and has proper electrical, heating, ventilation (通风), and air conditioning systems, can be difficult.(大多数现代办公室的开放式性质使它们适合室内农场使用。然而,重新利用,特别是确保一个空间可以容纳适当的设备,并有适当的电力、供暖、通风和空调系统,可能是困难的。)”以及第三段中“The Calgary Tower Project, developed by the company Agriplay Ventures, has worked to overcome these challenges. Agriplay uses 1-by-2.5m modular racks (有标准组件的架子) rising up to 3m tall, which can easily adapt to any space with ventilation.(由Agriplay Ventures公司开发的卡尔加里大厦项目已经努力克服了这些挑战。Agriplay使用 1×2.5 米、最高3米的模块化种植架,可适配任何有通风条件的场地。)”可知,Agriplay提供适配室内农场改造的设备。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Unoccupied office buildings are often close to final consumers. In a former paper storage warehouse in Arlington, about a mile outside of Washington, D. C., Area 2 Farms is growing over 180 organic varieties of green vegetables. By serving consumers within 10 miles or less, the company has driven down transport costs and any associated carbon footprint.(空置的办公楼通常离最终消费者很近。在华盛顿特区外约一英里的阿灵顿,一个曾经的纸张仓库里,2区农场种植了180多种有机绿色蔬菜。通过为10英里以内的消费者提供服务,该公司降低了运输成本和相关的碳足迹。)”可知,作者举阿灵顿的例子是为了说明城市室内农场(依托闲置城市建筑)的优势。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Energy use, however, is the “Achilles’ heel” of this field, says Fraser. Vertical farms need a lot of electricity to run lighting and ventilation systems, smart devices, and automated harvesting technologies.(然而,能源使用是该领域的“Achilles’ heel”,弗雷泽说。垂直农场需要大量电力维持照明、通风、智能设备和自动采收设备运转)”可知,能源消耗是垂直农场目前的短板,Achilles’ heel意为“弱点、缺陷”,与weakness 同义。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In some cities, as many as one in four office spaces are empty. Some start-ups are giving them a second life. Vertical (垂直的) indoor farms — where crops can be grown in climate-controlled environments using the latest planting techniques — have been popping up around the world.(在一些城市,多达四分之一的办公空间是空置的。一些初创企业正在赋予它们第二次生命。垂直室内农场——农作物可以使用最新的种植技术在气候可控的环境中种植——在世界各地不断涌现)”并结合全文内容可知,全文围绕闲置办公室改造为室内农场获得新生展开,介绍了这种改造的优势、面临的挑战以及发展前景。B选项“A New Life for Empty Offices(空置办公室的新生)”概括了文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。
D
Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and rare earth elements are essential for wind generators, electric vehicles, cell phones and other technologies. With demand rising, some are now looking to tap the seafloor for its vast metal ores. This practice, called deep-sea mining, aims to retrieve (开采) mineral resources from the ocean floor, hundreds or thousands of meters below the surface.
While exploratory mining to test equipment has occurred at a small scale, deep-sea mining has not yet been undertaken commercially. Most deep-sea mining interest is concentrated in international waters. This means the industry’s future will largely depend on how the UN’s International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides to regulate it. Despite years of negotiations, the ISA and its membership have been unable to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters. Meanwhile, opinion remains deeply divided on whether deep-sea mining should be allowed at all.
Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and digital technologies, while avoiding deforestation and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains.
The science so far paints a concerning picture, predicting direct harm to marine life from heavy equipment and clouds of stirred-up sediment, long-term disturbance of rare, slow-reproducing species and ecosystems, and potential species extinction due to habitat loss. Mining also carries social and governance risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution, and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean’s carbon cycle, weakening its role in regulating global climate.
The need for critical minerals is undeniable. But there is no easy answer to meet this demand responsibly, given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land. With so many unknowns, the question remains: Is deep-sea mining necessary — or too great a gamble?
32. What is the main reason why large-scale deep-sea mining has not started yet?
A. Lack of suitable technology. B. Concern about human rights abuses.
C. Rising cost of seafloor mineral extraction. D. Disagreement on international regulations.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning deep-sea mining?
A. Its possible advantages. B. Its environmental risks.
C. Its development history. D. Its potential market value.
34. Which of the following is NOT a direct harm caused by marine mining?
A. Damage to marine life. B. Unfair profit distribution.
C. Possible species extinction. D. Disturbance to rare marine species.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward deep-sea mining?
A. Slightly doubtful. B. Sharply disapproving.
C. Thoughtfully concerned. D. Enthusiastically supportive.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】清洁能源所需矿产缺口巨大,有人提议深海采矿,但国际开采法规未达成共识。支持者看重其优势,科研显示它会严重破坏海洋生态,作者认为该开采利弊难衡、风险未知。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Despite years of negotiations, the ISA and its membership have been unable to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters. Meanwhile, opinion remains deeply divided on whether deep-sea mining should be allowed at all.(尽管经过多年的谈判,国际海底管理局及其成员国仍未能就规范国际水域商业采矿活动的规则达成一致。与此同时,关于是否应允许深海采矿的问题,各方意见依然严重分歧)”可知,大规模深海采矿尚未启动的主要原因是国际法规存在分歧。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and digital technologies, while avoiding deforestation and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains.(支持者认为,深海采矿有助于满足清洁能源和数字技术日益增长的矿物需求,同时避免了陆地采矿带来的森林砍伐和淡水污染。他们还声称,海上开采可能减少供应链中的人权侵害问题)”可知,第三段主要讨论了深海采矿可能带来的优势。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The science so far paints a concerning picture, predicting direct harm to marine life from heavy equipment and clouds of stirred-up sediment, long-term disturbance of rare, slow-reproducing species and ecosystems, and potential species extinction due to habitat loss. Mining also carries social and governance risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution, and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean’s carbon cycle, weakening its role in regulating global climate.(目前的科学研究呈现出令人担忧的图景,预测重型设备和搅动形成的沉积物云将直接危害海洋生物,长期扰乱稀有且繁殖缓慢的物种及其生态系统,并可能导致因栖息地丧失而引发物种灭绝。采矿还通过沿海开发和利润分配不公带来社会和治理风险,而生物多样性的丧失可能破坏海洋碳循环,削弱其调节全球气候的作用)”可知,不公平的利润分配不是海洋采矿造成的直接危害。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But there is no easy answer to meet this demand responsibly, given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land. With so many unknowns, the question remains: Is deep-sea mining necessary — or too great a gamble?(然而,由于海上采矿尚处于不成熟阶段且存在潜在危险,再加上陆地采矿已知的种种危害,要负责任地满足这一需求并不存在简单的答案。面对如此诸多未知因素,问题依然悬而未决:深海采矿是必要的,还是风险过大?)”可知,作者客观陈述利弊,指出深海采矿隐患重重、充满未知,态度审慎担忧。

As is well known, making art is good for your health. It can reduce stress and improve your spirit. ____36____ All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. Here’re some tips to help you kick-start your creative art habit.
____37____ In fact, there’re no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren’t. So no matter your level, you could feel all the good things that come with making art.
Figure out your mode of creative expression. There’re many choices available: painting, cooking, baking, woodworking, sewing — the sky’s the limit. ____38____ Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up — do whatever you’re in the mood for.
Focus on the making and let go of expectations. Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit, not what you make. ____39____
Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation. You don’t even need a few hours. ____40____ In addition to carving out time, carve out a physical space for art. You could set up a corner table for your art supplies. If space is an issue, put them all in a container that’s easily accessible.
A. Keep an open mind.
B. Improve yourself with regular practice.
C. Don’t require yourself to have great skills.
D. However, developing interest in art takes little time.
E. Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders.
F. But you don’t have to be a fill-time artist to get these benefits.
G. So, you don’t even need to finish what you’re making to feel those health benefits.
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。艺术创作对人的健康有好处,可以减少压力,改善精神。文章说明了在培养艺术创作过程的一些注意事项。
【36题详解】
根据上文“As is well known, making art is good for your health. It can reduce stress and improve your spirit.(众所周知,创作艺术对你的健康有好处。它可以减少压力,改善你的精神。)”可知,此处提出创作艺术具有积极影响,结合下文 “All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. (你所需要做的就是创造艺术。你做得越多越好。)”可知,我们创作艺术,尽力去做到自己的最好,并不需要因为身体健康而去改变信念和理想,因此F项“但你并不需要成为全职艺术家才能获得这些好处。”,符合语境,承上启下,故选F。
【37题详解】
根据下文“In fact, there’re no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren’t. (事实上,那些被认为有艺术经验的人和那些没有艺术经验的人在健康结果上没有区别。)”可知,有无艺术经验对人的健康没有区别,由此可知本段讲的是“不要要求自己有高超的技能。”,C项符合语境,故选C。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up — do whatever you’re in the mood for.(任何激发你创造性思维的事情都对你有好处。不要觉得你必须坚持一件事。混合——做任何你想做的事情。)”可知,此处表达出创造性思维的优点,保持开放心态不要让思想受限,可以去做任何想做的事情,A项“保持开放的心态。”符合语境,故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Focus on the making and let go of expectations. Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit, not what you make. (专注于创造,放弃期待。一旦你有了艺术材料,接下来就是有趣的部分了。让自己迷失在这个过程中,尽情玩耍吧。是创作艺术的身体行为让你感受到压力的释放和积极的精神,而不是你创作了什么。)”可知,本段提出降低甚至是放弃期待值,我们应关注创作的过程,它所带来的健康益处并不依附于创作结果,在创作过程中就可以感受到,G项“所以,你甚至不需要完成你正在做的事情就能感受到这些健康益处。 ”符合语境,故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation. You don’t even need a few hours.(把艺术当成一种健康的习惯。就像你会花时间锻炼身体、和朋友出去玩一样,你也应该花时间进行艺术创作。你甚至不需要几个小时。)”可知,本段提到将艺术当成一种健康习惯,安排给艺术创作的时间无需几个小时,由此可知E项“每天只做10分钟的艺术就能创造奇迹。”符合文意,表示艺术创作每天只需要很少的时间形成习惯,就会有极大好处,故选E。

61. be found
62. a 63. into
64. using 65. controlled
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了用蘑菇分解塑料的科学研究。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意:自20世纪50年代以来,人类已经制造了约90亿吨塑料,其中只有9%被回收,12%被烧毁。根据时间状语since the 1950s可知,此处应用现在完成时,表示过去开始的动作或状态一直持续到现在。主语Humans为名词复数,主谓一致,故填have made。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:自20世纪50年代以来,人类已经制造了约90亿吨塑料,其中只有9%被回收,12%被烧毁。分析可知,逗号后为非限制性定语从句,先行词为9 billion tons of plastic,“数词+of+关系代词which”引导从句,在从句中作主语,which指代事物。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:剩下的79%在自然环境中积累。根据后文名词environment可知,此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词。故填natural。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了帮助减轻大自然的负担,研究人员现在正在寻找减少塑料的替代方法。根据句意可知,此处应用动词不定式作状语,表示目的。句首字母大写,故填To help。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:其中一种解决方案是一种能够消耗聚氨酯的蘑菇,聚氨酯是塑料产品的主要成分之一。根据句子结构和前文One such可知,此处应用其名词solution的单数形式作主语。故填solution。
【61题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:多年来,科学家们发现了一些吃塑料的蘑菇,虽然有些很罕见,但其他的可以在我们当地的市场上找到。分析可知,此处为谓语,动词find和主语之间是被动关系,应用被动语态(be done)。情态动词can加动词原形,故填be found。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:最近,来自耶鲁大学的学生在一次班级研究旅行中在亚马逊雨林发现了一种罕见的蘑菇。后文名词短语class research trip是泛指概念,应用不定冠词限定,所连接的class发音以辅音开头,故填a。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:根据耶鲁大学研究小组的研究,这种不起眼的浅棕色蘑菇可以在有氧或无氧的环境中生存,可以在将聚氨酯转化为有机物之前将其分解。turn sth into“把某物变成,把某物转化为”是固定搭配,符合句意。故填into。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:用蘑菇分解塑料的想法并非没有局限性。介词of后应用动名词作宾语。故填using。
【65题详解】
考查过去分词转化的形容词。句意:一种方法是先收集塑料碎片,让蘑菇在可控的环境中施展魔法。分析可知,此处为非谓语,动词control和名词environment之间是被动关系,故用其过去分词转化的形容词作定语。故填controlled。

67. 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。
17-year-old Lila had been training for the mountain-climbing challenge for half a year, determined to prove that she was no longer the shy and weak girl she used to be. Her goal was to reach the top of a medium-difficulty mountain nearby, together with her best friend Mia and their coach Mr. Carter. Lila had always feared heights, but she believed that facing her fear head-on was the only way to grow. However, on the day of the climb, things took an unexpected turn.
Halfway up the mountain, a sudden rainstorm broke out, making the rocks wet and slippery. The wind howled, and visibility dropped sharply. Mia accidentally twisted her ankle and couldn’t move forward. Mr. Carter had to stay with Mia to take care of her, leaving Lila with two choices: turn back alone or continue climbing to find a safer spot to call for help. Lila felt a wave of panic — she was terrified of being alone on the mountain, and the harsh weather made the journey even tougher. She sat on a rock, tears mixing with rain, and wanted to give up.
Mr. Carter noticed Lila’s hesitation and shouted to her firmly: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to keep going when you are afraid. You have trained hard, and you are stronger than you think. We need you to be brave now — your courage will save us all.” Lila lifted her head, looked at Mr. Carter’s encouraging eyes and Mia’s worried face, and felt a strong determination rising in her heart. She wiped away her tears and decided to face the adversity bravely.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Lila took a deep breath and started to move forward.

After hours of tough climbing, Lila finally spotted a small shelter on the mountainside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Lila took a deep breath and started to move forward. She held tightly onto the rocks, carefully stepping on the less slippery spots. The rain kept pouring, and her hands were sore and cold, but she never stopped. Whenever she felt scared, she repeated Mr. Carter’s words in her mind, strengthening her determination. She also kept shouting to Mia and Mr. Carter to let them know she was safe, which gave them hope too. Her perseverance helped her get through the toughest parts, and she became more confident as she moved on, facing the adversity bravely.
After hours of tough climbing, Lila finally spotted a small shelter on the mountainside. She rushed over, exhausted but excited, and found a working phone inside. She immediately called for rescue, clearly explaining their position and situation. When the rescuers arrived and reached Mr. Carter and Mia, everyone was relieved. Mr. Carter patted Lila on the shoulder proudly, saying, “Your courage and perseverance saved us. You’ve grown into a brave and strong girl.” Lila smiled, realizing that overcoming adversity was the best way to grow, and she would never forget this valuable lesson.

I spent my childhood bodysurfing with my grandmother on Long Island in New York and snorkeling (浮潜) around the coral reefs of the Florida Keys with my dad. I even got to try SNUBA diving — a form of surface-supplied diving that uses an underwater breathing system — at just 8 years old.
When it came time for college, I never considered anything other than a science major. I earned a bachelor’s degree in wildlife science from Virginia Tech. After graduating, I worked as a biological technician for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in North Carolina, assisting with a range of projects that included staring at photos to count the barnacles (藤壶) on dolphin fins, as well as checking up on dolphin stomachs to document their contents.
After working for a couple years, I attended graduate school to earn a master’s degree in marine biology from Florida Atlantic University. For my research, I worked with Denise Herzing, Ph. D., founder and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project. I spent my summers living at sea in the Bahamas, free-diving among dolphins to study their behavior, communication and ecology. Even with the temperamental (喜怒无常的) crew, seasickness during rough seas, and painful skin problems because of stings (蛰伤), it was a dream come true.
Getting used to human presence, those dolphins granted me access to the most intimate moments of their lives. I observed baby dolphins learn to swim and hunt, watched mothers nurse their young and glimpsed males’ fights for the attention of shy females. Watching their relationships and struggles due to human activity, I ultimately developed an interest in storytelling and conservation photography.
Now, I try to combine my scientific background, writing and artistic ability to help people emotionally connect to wild subjects and experience the wonders of nature. I hope my efforts in science communication increase ocean literacy, raise awareness of conservation issues, and inspire positive action toward the environment.
24. Why does the author mention his childhood in paragraph 1?
A. To show he had a wonderful childhood. B. To tell about his growing environment.
C. To show the ocean is in his blood. D. To recommend activities in the sea.
25. How did the author choose his major?
A. By following his heart. B. By taking his parents’ advice.
C. By comparing different majors. D. By consulting biological technicians.
26. Which of the following can best describe the author’s life in the Bahamas?
A. Busy but simple. B. Difficult and lonely.
C. Interesting and relaxing. D. Challenging but worthy.
27. What did the work with dolphins inspire the author to do?
A. Focus on writing stories about them. B. Begin to enjoy the wonders of nature.
C. Change his work to art photography. D. Encourage people to protect them through his efforts.
C
In some cities, as many as one in four office spaces are empty. Some start-ups are giving them a second life. Vertical (垂直的) indoor farms — where crops can be grown in climate-controlled environments using the latest planting techniques — have been popping up around the world.
The open-plan nature of most modern offices makes them suitable for indoor farm use. Still, repurposing, particularly to ensure a space can accommodate the proper equipment and has proper electrical, heating, ventilation (通风), and air conditioning systems, can be difficult.
The Calgary Tower Project, developed by the company Agriplay Ventures, has worked to overcome these challenges. Agriplay uses 1-by-2.5m modular racks (有标准组件的架子) rising up to 3m tall, which can easily adapt to any space with ventilation. The racks are also easy to remove once a project is completed.
Unoccupied office buildings are often close to final consumers. In a former paper storage warehouse in Arlington, about a mile outside of Washington, D. C., Area 2 Farms is growing over 180 organic varieties of green vegetables. By serving consumers within 10 miles or less, the company has driven down transport costs and any associated carbon footprint.
Energy use, however, is the “Achilles’ heel” of this field, says Fraser. Vertical farms need a lot of electricity to run lighting and ventilation systems, smart devices, and automated harvesting technologies. “But if energy is sourced from renewable sources, they can outperform regular farms in this regard, too,” he says. They face other challenges, too. And, for now, aside from leafy greens, most indoor facilities cannot yet mass produce other types of crops like wheat, corn or rice.
“One thing cities dislike is unused spaces that don’t drive economic growth,” says Fraser. “If indoor farm projects in cities like Arlington prove successful, others may follow suit.”
28. What can be learned about Agriplay?
A. It helps clients locate storage areas. B. It develops new planting techniques.
C. It focuses on maintaining office buildings. D. It offers equipment suited for indoor farming.
29. What does the author indicate by mentioning Arlington?
A. The achievements of Area 2 Farms. B. The benefits of urban indoor farms.
C. The significance of vertical farming. D. The popularity of organic vegetables.
30. Which word is closest in meaning to “Achilles’ heel” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. Core. B. Future. C. Weakness. D. Advantage.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Organic Farms B. A New Life for Empty Offices
C. A Bright Future for City Farmers D. The World of High-Tech Agriculture
D
Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and rare earth elements are essential for wind generators, electric vehicles, cell phones and other technologies. With demand rising, some are now looking to tap the seafloor for its vast metal ores. This practice, called deep-sea mining, aims to retrieve (开采) mineral resources from the ocean floor, hundreds or thousands of meters below the surface.
While exploratory mining to test equipment has occurred at a small scale, deep-sea mining has not yet been undertaken commercially. Most deep-sea mining interest is concentrated in international waters. This means the industry’s future will largely depend on how the UN’s International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides to regulate it. Despite years of negotiations, the ISA and its membership have been unable to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters. Meanwhile, opinion remains deeply divided on whether deep-sea mining should be allowed at all.
Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and digital technologies, while avoiding deforestation and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains.
The science so far paints a concerning picture, predicting direct harm to marine life from heavy equipment and clouds of stirred-up sediment, long-term disturbance of rare, slow-reproducing species and ecosystems, and potential species extinction due to habitat loss. Mining also carries social and governance risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution, and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean’s carbon cycle, weakening its role in regulating global climate.
The need for critical minerals is undeniable. But there is no easy answer to meet this demand responsibly, given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land. With so many unknowns, the question remains: Is deep-sea mining necessary — or too great a gamble?
32. What is the main reason why large-scale deep-sea mining has not started yet?
A. Lack of suitable technology. B. Concern about human rights abuses.
C. Rising cost of seafloor mineral extraction. D. Disagreement on international regulations.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning deep-sea mining?
A. Its possible advantages. B. Its environmental risks.
C. Its development history. D. Its potential market value.
34. Which of the following is NOT a direct harm caused by marine mining?
A. Damage to marine life. B. Unfair profit distribution.
C. Possible species extinction. D. Disturbance to rare marine species.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward deep-sea mining?
A. Slightly doubtful. B. Sharply disapproving.
C. Thoughtfully concerned. D. Enthusiastically supportive.

Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation.

B. Improve yourself with regular practice.
C. Don’t require yourself to have great skills.

67. 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。
17-year-old Lila had been training for the mountain-climbing challenge for half a year, determined to prove that she was no longer the shy and weak girl she used to be. Her goal was to reach the top of a medium-difficulty mountain nearby, together with her best friend Mia and their coach Mr. Carter. Lila had always feared heights, but she believed that facing her fear head-on was the only way to grow. However, on the day of the climb, things took an unexpected turn.
Halfway up the mountain, a sudden rainstorm broke out, making the rocks wet and slippery. The wind howled, and visibility dropped sharply. Mia accidentally twisted her ankle and couldn’t move forward. Mr. Carter had to stay with Mia to take care of her, leaving Lila with two choices: turn back alone or continue climbing to find a safer spot to call for help. Lila felt a wave of panic — she was terrified of being alone on the mountain, and the harsh weather made the journey even tougher. She sat on a rock, tears mixing with rain, and wanted to give up.
Mr. Carter noticed Lila’s hesitation and shouted to her firmly: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to keep going when you are afraid. You have trained hard, and you are stronger than you think. We need you to be brave now — your courage will save us all.” Lila lifted her head, looked at Mr. Carter’s encouraging eyes and Mia’s worried face, and felt a strong determination rising in her heart. She wiped away her tears and decided to face the adversity bravely.
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。
Lila took a deep breath and started to move forward.

After hours of tough climbing, Lila finally spotted a small shelter on the mountainside.
