Imagine a middle-aged man taking apart an old music player in his small workroom, and then, “just for fun”, putting it back together. Such a video is simply shot with a smartphone, and for half its duration, it focuses only on repairing a small hook spring (钩簧). I’ve met tinkering-type people before at antiques fairs who are friendly enough but I am not one of them. Instead, I welcome technology. I prefer contactless payment to cash and streaming music to collecting CDs. The other day, however, glued to such repair videos for a few hours, I found myself becoming increasingly drawn in. My absorption may be partly due to what could be described as the “Bake Off effect”: the strong pull of observing a process unfolding steadily from start to finish. Before I knew it, an entire afternoon had slipped away as I did nothing but observe elderly enthusiasts repairing old items. This led me to reflect on the old objects around my home and realize that I am far less attached to modernity than I claim. For instance, my streaming music is played through two aging devices: an old-fashioned CD machine which was my wedding gift, and a wood-carved 1940s radio picked up at a charity shop. Neither item bears any sign of the 21st century. I still use them for they carry far more charm than a cold smart speaker. I also keep a large collection of physical books despite my e-reader. I have even had a full-height bookshelf built in my living room, stretching from floor to ceiling. They are kept for they’re prettier than a blank wall and nicer to touch than a Kindle. I grew up in a 400-year-old house full of wooden structures and worn-out floorboards where older-looking designs are quite comforting. Now I tend to repair old objects before giving them away, honestly feeling an uplift in my wellbeing. I guess the tinkerers still have much to teach me. 4. What drew the author to tinkering videos? A. The desire to master repair skills. B. The expectation of becoming a tinkerer. C. The admiration for the filming techniques. D. The delight of watching a hands-on process. 5. Why does the author still keep some old items? A. They offer unique functions for playing music. B. They serve as antiques with high market value. C. They hold fascinations and personal memories. D. They provide practical daily use for household. 6. Which of the following items may carry more charm in the author’s eyes? A. A mid-century classic typewriter. B. A second-hand wireless earphone. C. A fancy-looking Bluetooth keyboard. D. A remote-controlled smart speaker. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Better Wellbeing as a Tinkerer B. Unexpected Appeal of Old Things C. Repair Aged Treasure While You May D. Think Twice Before Rushing to Modernity 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者原本崇尚现代科技，却意外被修理旧物的视频吸引，进而重新审视并珍视家中老物件的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“My absorption may be partly due to what could be described as the “Bake Off effect”: the strong pull of observing a process unfolding steadily from start to finish.(我被吸引可能部分归因于所谓的“烘焙大赛效应”：即观看一个从始至终稳步展开的过程所产生的强烈吸引力)”可知，吸引作者的是观看这种亲手操作、循序渐进的过程所带来的乐趣。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I still use them for they carry far more charm than a cold smart speaker. I also keep a large collection of physical books despite my e-reader. I have even had a full-height bookshelf built in my living room, stretching from floor to ceiling. They are kept for they’re prettier than a blank wall and nicer to touch than a Kindle.(我仍然使用它们，因为它们比冷酷的智能扬声器更有魅力。尽管我有电子阅读器，但我也收藏了大量的实体书。我甚至在客厅里建了一个全高的书架，从地板延伸到天花板。它们被保留下来，因为它们比空白墙更漂亮，比Kindle更容易触摸)”以及提到CD机是结婚礼物可知，作者保留旧物是因为它们富有魅力且承载了个人记忆。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文主旨，以及第四段的“This led me to reflect on the old objects around my home and realize that I am far less attached to modernity than I claim.(这让我反思了家里的旧物品，并意识到我对现代性的依恋远不如我所说的那么强烈)”可知，作者偏爱带有温度、历史和美感的旧物，而非冰冷的现代电子产品。A项“一台中世纪的经典打字机”属于有年代感、有机械质感的旧物，最符合作者的审美。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇描述作者被修理视频吸引，随后反思自己对现代科技的偏好，并通过列举CD机、老式收音机和纸质书的例子，阐述了旧物独特的魅力和情感价值。所以B项“旧物意想不到的吸引力”最能概括全文主旨，适合用作标题。 C Microplastics, plastic pieces smaller than 5 millimeters, have become one of the most concerning consumer pollutants due to their lasting presence in water sources. Yet traditional water treatment systems often fail to capture the tiniest pieces. Now a Chinese team of researchers, led by Deng Hongbing from Wuhan University, has developed a new foam to address just that. To make the foam, the team turned to nature and employed crayfish (淡水小龙虾) shells, which are produced in large volumes every year and mostly thrown away. Through acid and alkali treatment of the shells, they extracted chitin — a natural fiber with remarkable trapping capabilities. “The chitin-based foam has a structure with a large number of multi-level holes, similar to a net,” explained Deng. “It can attract and interact with diverse microplastics commonly found in electronics, food packaging, textiles and other industrial products.” To see whether the foam would work in water found in a natural setting, researchers tested it using samples from four real-world water sources — irrigation water, lake water, seawater and pond water. Results showed that in each sample it absorbed microplastics with an efficiency of up to 99.8 percent in its first use, and the removal rates were over 95 percent after five cycles. Unlike those of the conventional approaches, the physical properties of the foam force microplastics to attach more tightly to its structure, reducing the risk of secondary pollution. Also, the material itself is unlikely to be a source of secondary pollution during breakdown. Importantly, its performance remains unaffected by heavy metals and microorganisms in water. The team has already applied for a patent for this biomass material technology, hoping to bring it into water treatment plants or home water purifiers in the near future. “Microplastics entering water habitats will continuously increase for thousands of years,” said Deng. “The root cause lies in non-degradable (不可降解的) petrol-based plastic use.” Given the structural flexibility of the chitin-based material, the team is looking to develop a new type of bioplastic with excellent environmental friendliness. 8. What makes crayfish shells a good choice for microplastic removal? A. The key substance they contain. B. Their great agricultural value. C. The acid treatment they undergo. D. Their special natural structure. 9. Why did the researchers test the foam for five cycles? A. To collect data to improve its effectiveness. B. To evaluate its reusability over multiple uses. C. To compare its performance in different waters. D. To prove it works better with each repeated use. 10. How does the new foam differ from conventional materials? A. It breaks down more efficiently after use. B. It works on heavy metals and microorganisms. C. It better prevents the re-release of microplastics. D. It reduces the harmful chemicals in microplastics. 11. What is the focus of the last paragraph? A. Potential market for the technology. B. Promising direction for future study. C. Physical advantages of the new material. D. Possible adjustment to the research method. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍武汉大学科研团队利用废弃小龙虾壳提取几丁质研发新型泡沫材料，该材料可高效吸附水体微塑料，兼具可重复使用、不易造成二次污染等优势，团队已申请专利并计划后续研发环保生物塑料。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Through acid and alkali treatment of the shells, they extracted chitin — a natural fiber with remarkable trapping capabilities.(研究人员对虾壳进行酸碱处理，从中提取出几丁质 —— 一种具备出色吸附能力的天然纤维。)”可知，虾壳中含有的核心物质几丁质让虾壳适合用于去除微塑料。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段 “Results showed that in each sample it absorbed microplastics with an efficiency of up to 99.8 percent in its first use, and the removal rates were over 95 percent after five cycles.(实验结果显示，该泡沫初次使用时对各类水样中微塑料的吸附效率最高可达99.8%，经过五次循环使用后去除率仍高于95%。)”可知，多次循环测试是为了评估材料多次使用后的重复利用性能。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段 “Unlike those of the conventional approaches, the physical properties of the foam force microplastics to attach more tightly to its structure, reducing the risk of secondary pollution.(与传统处理材料不同，这款泡沫的物理特性能让微塑料更牢固地附着在自身结构上，降低二次污染的风险。)”可知，新型泡沫能更好避免微塑料再次释放，这是它和传统材料的区别。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段“Given the structural flexibility of the chitin-based material, the team is looking to develop a new type of bioplastic with excellent environmental friendliness.(鉴于这种几丁质材料具备结构柔韧性，研究团队打算研发一款环保性能优异的新型生物塑料。)”可知，本段主要讲述未来研究富有前景的发展方向。 D We often hurry through life fuelled by busyness, secretly longing for rest. But when the opportunity finally arises, it feels uncomfortable. So why do we dislike doing nothing? “It’s not even a dislike; it probably doesn’t even occur to many people,” says Gabrielle Treanor, author of The 1% Wellness Experiment. “We’re connected to everything all the time,” she says. Social media, for example, is constantly flooding us with ideas for new things to do. “It’s easy to feel that life offers endless possibilities.” There’s another factor: guilt — particularly about appearing lazy. Increasingly, being busy carries a sense of status and moral superiority. “Many of us grew up with the awareness of the extra things we feel we ought to be doing,” says Treanor. We’re trying to live up to the standard of a great parent or child, a great colleague or friend. All that combined is pretty weighty, making it unlikely to be OK with doing not that much. Of course, one person’s idea of doing nothing is another’s concept of a busy afternoon. A team of British psychologists did a research revealing that boredom is far from being a bad thing. A group of participants were given the task of copying numbers from a telephone directory. At the end, they were asked to come up with as many uses as possible for a paper cup. They outperformed the control group. Then a second group was given a much duller task, to simply read the numbers aloud, and they did even better at creative brainstorming. “When we are bored, our brains automatically search for stimulation,” says Alfred Mann, the lead researcher. So when we can’t meet that stimulation externally, our brains will kind of search internally. That’s why we start mind-wandering. When we’re fully occupied, our inner judge is ruling the show. As Mann puts it: “If you’re daydreaming, you haven’t got that voice in your head saying, ‘Don’t be silly. That’s a ridiculous idea!’ Instead, your mind is free to roam outside the box.” 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By quoting an expert’s view. B. By telling an interesting story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By referring to a popular study. 13. Why do many people seldom think of doing nothing according to Treanor? A. They feel too guilty to have fun. B. They are proud of their social roles. C. They have too many choices to make. D. They are always occupied with something. 14. What did the research find about boredom? A. It benefits people’s mental health. B. It frees people from self-judgment. C. It boosts the generation of fresh ideas. D. It stimulates the need for inner peace. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To explain why we fear free time. B. To stress that busyness is a virtue. C. To show how to become creative. D. To help appreciate the art of boredom. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章先提出人们日常奔波却在真正空闲时感到不适的现象，分析人们无法放空自己、不愿无所事事的两点原因，再通过英国心理学家的实验说明无聊能够激发创造力，阐释放空、发呆带来的好处。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“We often hurry through life fuelled by busyness, secretly longing for rest. But when the opportunity finally arises, it feels uncomfortable.(我们常常在忙碌中匆匆度日，心底却渴望休息。可当休息的机会终于来临时，我们又会感到浑身不自在。)”可知，作者通过展示生活中的一种普遍现象引出文章话题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段““We’re connected to everything all the time,” she says. Social media, for example, is constantly flooding us with ideas for new things to do. “It’s easy to feel that life offers endless possibilities.”(“我们无时无刻不与各种事物紧密相连，” 她说道。举个例子，社交媒体总在不断给我们推送各类新鲜待办事项。“我们很容易觉得生活拥有无穷无尽的选择。”)” 可知，Treanor认为人们总有各种事要忙，因此很少会想到放空自己、什么都不做。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“A group of participants were given the task of copying numbers from a telephone directory. At the end, they were asked to come up with as many uses as possible for a paper cup. They outperformed the control group.(一组参与者被安排抄写电话簿上的号码。任务结束后，研究人员让他们尽可能多地想出纸杯的用途，他们的表现优于对照组。)”及“Then a second group was given a much duller task, to simply read the numbers aloud, and they did even better at creative brainstorming.(随后第二组受试者被安排了一项更加枯燥的任务，只需大声读出数字，而他们在创意头脑风暴环节的表现还要更好。)”可知，无聊能够促进新想法的产生。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“A team of British psychologists did a research revealing that boredom is far from being a bad thing.(一组英国心理学家开展的一项研究表明，无聊绝非坏事。)” 以及第五段“So when we can’t meet that stimulation externally, our brains will kind of search internally. That’s why we start mind-wandering.(当我们无法从外界获得刺激时，大脑就会转向内部探索，这就是我们开始放空遐想的原因。)”可知，作者写作本文是为了让人们学会接纳、欣赏无聊带来的益处。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Photography has opened our eyes to a wealth of beauties we could never have noticed, things as ordinary as a fence, a chair, a vegetable. ____16____ And as technology develops, photographers have explored completely new ranges: those of the eagle, the microscope, the universe. ____17____ Photography depends on the integration of light, composition and moment. Light makes the recording of an image possible, but in the right hands, it can make the image shine. ____18____ What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of the frame is all that we will see — but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter (快门) is pressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When the three are in balance, there is visual magic. Photographs bring us a world view unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Images used to be made to please, not to record reality. But as photography progressed, painterly rules were often rejected in the pursuit of fresh vision. ____19____ They invited the world to see with new eyes, and all of the arts began to draw new inspirations from this change. In this sense, photographers are not only scientists longing to “fix” an image but artistic pioneers. Photographs have created a new way of seeing, changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more accessible. They have given us visual proof that the world is grander than we imagined. ____20____ A. The same is true with composition. B. Why did photography change people’s vision? C. What is it that determines a photograph is beautiful? D. And there is beauty, often ignored, in nearly everything. E. Photography helps people discover various hidden secrets. F. Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad. G. Such items, once not worth an artist’s paint, are honored by photography. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. F 20.

In doing so, the native plants of the park can be preserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations.

Complete both parts of the training provided by Rock Creek Park staff — a 3-hour in-class theory session and a 3-hour in-the-park field session. 2.

What is the main goal of the weed warrior program? A. To train park keepers. B. To protect native plants. C. To attract more visitors. D. To develop new species. 2.

What is necessary to get the Weed Warrior Permit? A. Passing an identification test. B. Working 36 hours in advance. C. Designing a park plan alone. D. Attending one training session. B Have you ever watched tinkering videos? Imagine a middle-aged man taking apart an old music player in his small workroom, and then, “just for fun”, putting it back together. Such a video is simply shot with a smartphone, and for half its duration, it focuses only on repairing a small hook spring (钩簧). I’ve met tinkering-type people before at antiques fairs who are friendly enough but I am not one of them. Instead, I welcome technology. I prefer contactless payment to cash and streaming music to collecting CDs. The other day, however, glued to such repair videos for a few hours, I found myself becoming increasingly drawn in. My absorption may be partly due to what could be described as the “Bake Off effect”: the strong pull of observing a process unfolding steadily from start to finish. Before I knew it, an entire afternoon had slipped away as I did nothing but observe elderly enthusiasts repairing old items. This led me to reflect on the old objects around my home and realize that I am far less attached to modernity than I claim. For instance, my streaming music is played through two aging devices: an old-fashioned CD machine which was my wedding gift, and a wood-carved 1940s radio picked up at a charity shop. Neither item bears any sign of the 21st century. I still use them for they carry far more charm than a cold smart speaker. I also keep a large collection of physical books despite my e-reader. I have even had a full-height bookshelf built in my living room, stretching from floor to ceiling. They are kept for they’re prettier than a blank wall and nicer to touch than a Kindle. I grew up in a 400-year-old house full of wooden structures and worn-out floorboards where older-looking designs are quite comforting. Now I tend to repair old objects before giving them away, honestly feeling an uplift in my wellbeing. I guess the tinkerers still have much to teach me. 4. What drew the author to tinkering videos? A. The desire to master repair skills. B. The expectation of becoming a tinkerer. C. The admiration for the filming techniques. D. The delight of watching a hands-on process. 5. Why does the author still keep some old items? A. They offer unique functions for playing music. B. They serve as antiques with high market value. C. They hold fascinations and personal memories. D. They provide practical daily use for household. 6. Which of the following items may carry more charm in the author’s eyes? A. A mid-century classic typewriter. B. A second-hand wireless earphone. C. A fancy-looking Bluetooth keyboard. D. A remote-controlled smart speaker. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Better Wellbeing as a Tinkerer B. Unexpected Appeal of Old Things C. Repair Aged Treasure While You May D. Think Twice Before Rushing to Modernity C Microplastics, plastic pieces smaller than 5 millimeters, have become one of the most concerning consumer pollutants due to their lasting presence in water sources. Yet traditional water treatment systems often fail to capture the tiniest pieces. Now a Chinese team of researchers, led by Deng Hongbing from Wuhan University, has developed a new foam to address just that. To make the foam, the team turned to nature and employed crayfish (淡水小龙虾) shells, which are produced in large volumes every year and mostly thrown away. Through acid and alkali treatment of the shells, they extracted chitin — a natural fiber with remarkable trapping capabilities. “The chitin-based foam has a structure with a large number of multi-level holes, similar to a net,” explained Deng. “It can attract and interact with diverse microplastics commonly found in electronics, food packaging, textiles and other industrial products.” To see whether the foam would work in water found in a natural setting, researchers tested it using samples from four real-world water sources — irrigation water, lake water, seawater and pond water. Results showed that in each sample it absorbed microplastics with an efficiency of up to 99.8 percent in its first use, and the removal rates were over 95 percent after five cycles. Unlike those of the conventional approaches, the physical properties of the foam force microplastics to attach more tightly to its structure, reducing the risk of secondary pollution. Also, the material itself is unlikely to be a source of secondary pollution during breakdown. Importantly, its performance remains unaffected by heavy metals and microorganisms in water. The team has already applied for a patent for this biomass material technology, hoping to bring it into water treatment plants or home water purifiers in the near future. “Microplastics entering water habitats will continuously increase for thousands of years,” said Deng. “The root cause lies in non-degradable (不可降解的) petrol-based plastic use.” Given the structural flexibility of the chitin-based material, the team is looking to develop a new type of bioplastic with excellent environmental friendliness. 8. What makes crayfish shells a good choice for microplastic removal? A. The key substance they contain. B. Their great agricultural value. C. The acid treatment they undergo. D. Their special natural structure. 9. Why did the researchers test the foam for five cycles? A. To collect data to improve its effectiveness. B. To evaluate its reusability over multiple uses. C. To compare its performance in different waters. D. To prove it works better with each repeated use. 10. How does the new foam differ from conventional materials? A. It breaks down more efficiently after use. B. It works on heavy metals and microorganisms. C. It better prevents the re-release of microplastics. D. It reduces the harmful chemicals in microplastics. 11. What is the focus of the last paragraph? A. Potential market for the technology. B. Promising direction for future study. C. Physical advantages of the new material. D. Possible adjustment to the research method. D We often hurry through life fuelled by busyness, secretly longing for rest. But when the opportunity finally arises, it feels uncomfortable. So why do we dislike doing nothing? “It’s not even a dislike; it probably doesn’t even occur to many people,” says Gabrielle Treanor, author of The 1% Wellness Experiment. “We’re connected to everything all the time,” she says. Social media, for example, is constantly flooding us with ideas for new things to do. “It’s easy to feel that life offers endless possibilities.” There’s another factor: guilt — particularly about appearing lazy. Increasingly, being busy carries a sense of status and moral superiority. “Many of us grew up with the awareness of the extra things we feel we ought to be doing,” says Treanor. We’re trying to live up to the standard of a great parent or child, a great colleague or friend. All that combined is pretty weighty, making it unlikely to be OK with doing not that much. Of course, one person’s idea of doing nothing is another’s concept of a busy afternoon. A team of British psychologists did a research revealing that boredom is far from being a bad thing. A group of participants were given the task of copying numbers from a telephone directory. At the end, they were asked to come up with as many uses as possible for a paper cup. They outperformed the control group. Then a second group was given a much duller task, to simply read the numbers aloud, and they did even better at creative brainstorming. “When we are bored, our brains automatically search for stimulation,” says Alfred Mann, the lead researcher. So when we can’t meet that stimulation externally, our brains will kind of search internally. That’s why we start mind-wandering. When we’re fully occupied, our inner judge is ruling the show. As Mann puts it: “If you’re daydreaming, you haven’t got that voice in your head saying, ‘Don’t be silly. That’s a ridiculous idea!’ Instead, your mind is free to roam outside the box.” 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By quoting an expert’s view. B. By telling an interesting story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By referring to a popular study. 13. Why do many people seldom think of doing nothing according to Treanor? A. They feel too guilty to have fun. B. They are proud of their social roles. C. They have too many choices to make. D. They are always occupied with something. 14. What did the research find about boredom? A. It benefits people’s mental health. B. It frees people from self-judgment. C. It boosts the generation of fresh ideas. D. It stimulates the need for inner peace. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To explain why we fear free time. B. To stress that busyness is a virtue. C. To show how to become creative. D. To help appreciate the art of boredom. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Photography has opened our eyes to a wealth of beauties we could never have noticed, things as ordinary as a fence, a chair, a vegetable. ____16____ And as technology develops, photographers have explored completely new ranges: those of the eagle, the microscope, the universe. ____17____ Photography depends on the integration of light, composition and moment. Light makes the recording of an image possible, but in the right hands, it can make the image shine. ____18____ What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of the frame is all that we will see — but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter (快门) is pressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When the three are in balance, there is visual magic. Photographs bring us a world view unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Images used to be made to please, not to record reality. But as photography progressed, painterly rules were often rejected in the pursuit of fresh vision. ____19____ They invited the world to see with new eyes, and all of the arts began to draw new inspirations from this change. In this sense, photographers are not only scientists longing to “fix” an image but artistic pioneers. Photographs have created a new way of seeing, changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more accessible. They have given us visual proof that the world is grander than we imagined. ____20____ A. The same is true with composition. B. Why did photography change people’s vision? C. What is it that determines a photograph is beautiful? D. And there is beauty, often ignored, in nearly everything. E. Photography helps people discover various hidden secrets. F. Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad. G. Such items, once not worth an artist’s paint, are honored by photography. 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I live a long time with my beloved maple tree, she has become part of me.
