Ⅱ.连句成篇
Over the past few years,there have been various natural disasters, such as earthquakes, sandstorms, floods, causing severe damage to human beings. Thus,countless houses were in ruins, numerous fields were destroyed, and millions of people suffered great economic losses.
There are several factors contributing to these disasters. First, the rapid population growth has a negative effect on nature, since more people mean larger supplies of resources on earth. What's more, people lack the awareness of environmental protection, making the emergencies of nature more frequent.
In my opinion, we're supposed to make every effort to keep the balance between humans and nature. Only in this way can we humans survive with our planet Earth.

(2025·全国一卷阅读B节选)
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn't strike them as important. This would have to change.
25.Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A.They were not given enough time.
B.They had a very limited vocabulary.
C.They misunderstood the question.
D.They had little interest in the topic.

They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn't strike them as important.”的意思: 大多数文章篇幅不足一页,几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要。

(2026·温州联考)Brushing my teeth, I heard what sounded like branches scraping (刮擦) the roof.I paused, wondering what it could be.Then I thought that must have been Hurricane Isabel, which was blowing her way through our city.
Then I heard the sound of breaking glass.A second later, the entire house shook.My husband and I stared at each other in frozen horror before rushing to check on our baby daughter asleep in her bed.The sound had scared her awake—never had a cry sounded so sweet—and my husband gratefully snatched her up and ran to the relative safety of our room.
Then we ventured out.My husband started the car while I hurried across the street to let a neighbor know we were okay and heading to a friend's home.Shaking but grateful to be alive, we drove away.
The next morning, bright sunlight clearly displayed the storm's destruction.We returned home to see that a giant tree in the center of our yard had effectively split our house in two!
As we stood on the sidewalk wondering what to do, a local fire truck pulled up.The firefighters informed us that our home had received the worst damage in the city.When we meet neighbors for the first time, their eyes pop when they realize we live in the house the tree fell through.
In the days and weeks that followed, we remembered the feeling of relief when we realized that everyone in our lives who mattered was unscathed—me, my husband, our daughter and even our two pets.
Yes, we lost many things.But those things were replaceable and the damage was temporary.
Every so often we pull out the photos of the tree's destruction and feel surprised at how blessed we were—and still are.Whenever we begin to feel ungrateful or unsatisfied with what we have, those photos and memories offer a reminder of how we came through that trial.

(2025·山东枣庄模拟)As climate change continues to be a contributing factor to the frequency and intensity of disaster events, timely and effective preparedness can save lives and protect property. But according to a recent study in University of Michigan, nearly half of the young people surveyed on disaster preparedness showed they lack readiness for any type of disaster event during a period when climate-related disasters are becoming increasingly frequent.
Surveying 1,083 individuals aged 14 to 24 through text messaging, the University's My Voice project brought to the forefront the attitudes young people hold regarding disaster preparedness. Of those surveyed, 47% of the young people disclosed having no readiness planning in potential disasters, with finances and lack of resources being cited as primary reasons for their lack of readiness.
“While respondents felt there were actions they could take now to prepare for a future disaster, some were unsure of the most effective readiness approaches they and their communities could take,” said Katherine Kruger, lead author and a Ph.D. student at the U-M School of Nursing.
“Youth are significant stakeholders in developing strategies to be ready for disaster and their insights can lead to policy development that allow youth to prioritize the effective readiness strategies to reduce the potentially destructive impacts and promote individual and community resilience,” Kruger added. Inclusion of young individuals in readiness planning is crucial. They provide unique perspectives that can greatly enhance strategies designed to boost resilience (适应力) both at the individual and community levels.
The study's findings highlight an opportunity to engage youth in readiness efforts that empower them and strengthen the larger emergency management framework. Young people's capacities for innovation and communication are valuable assets in disaster response and recovery.
“Our research _underscores the need for including young people as key stakeholders in disaster preparedness,” Kruger said. “As highlighted by the United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Reduction's Youth Engagement Action Plan, their active contribution is indispensable.”

(2025·山东威海模拟)The fires went on for three days continuously in the summer of 2021, burning over 13,000 hectares of western Sardinia (撒丁岛). Mr Poddi, a forestry expert, warns such fires are bound to become more common and intense in a warming world. So, the island is preparing.
As part of the preparations, Mr Poddi's team has installed 20 fire-detection sensors in the Santu Lussurgiu forest.
These sensors, which hang from branches three to four metres off the ground, collect comprehensive information, including gases, temperature, humidity, and air pressure. These data are then analyzed by AI models. If anything unusual is spotted, emergency services are alerted.
Until now, fire detection on Sardinia has relied on human sight. But usually, the fire is noticed only once it has started to spread. The sensors work more like a sense of smell, identifying the chemicals in the air caused by hidden fires before flames and smoke are visible.This allows firefighters to step in before the blaze is too large to control and to have a clearer sense of where to tackle it.
The sensors are designed to be installed every few hundred meters in high-risk fire zones. This deployment can make sensors much cheaper than alternative wildfire suppression methods. Once installed, the sensors can last for up to 15 years and can be updated remotely.
Given the differences in environments, AI models must be tailored to regional characteristics. A system for Italy may not work in Canada. Mr Poddi says the ultimate test for Sardinia will be if the sensor networks can be deployed (部署) with equal effectiveness along the pine forests near the island's beaches. These environments are very different from those in Santu Lussurgiu.
To truly enhance early fire detection, sensor networks will need to be installed on a large scale. Even so, their real impact will depend on how well they are integrated with other existing firefighting measures, from mapping and data-analysis tools to the ability to promptly deploy firefighters. Moreover, the risk of time-wasting false alarms from such sensitive systems is very real. Overcoming such challenges will bring significant rewards. All the various technologies can and should work together to build a strong solution.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分)
(2026·江西宜春一中模拟)There is considerable evidence from studies with adults that volunteering benefits a person's physical and mental health.__1__ A 2023 analysis suggested that young people who had participated in community service were more likely to be in excellent health and stayed calm when faced with challenges.
__2__ It could be that the children volunteers were already in great health. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, environmental health scientists believe this early evidence is promising enough to pursue. A 2021 advisory warned that the number of young people reporting constant feelings of sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade. There are multiple possible causes, including anxiety over climate change, the effects of social media use and unfriendly personal circumstances.
To address these problems, researchers point to the importance of “contribution” as an essential piece of social and emotional development for teenagers. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute.__3__ In 2022, developmental psychologist Parissa Ballard and her colleagues tested volunteering as an intervention for nine 14-to-20-year-olds who had been recently diagnosed with mild to moderate depression or anxiety. After 30 hours of volunteer work at community organizations, the average reduction in depressive symptoms was 19 percent.
What accounts for the benefits? Helping others improves mood and raises confidence. It provides rich ground for building social connections. It also changes how young people see themselves. Many teens don't feel important.__4__
There may be a potential downside to volunteering, however.__5__“Young people have to choose something that feels meaningful to them,” Ballard says. Adults can help by offering choices and checking volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience.
A.Admittedly, this finding only shows connections.
B.Now scientists are finding similar links in children and teenagers.
C.This improvement was in comparison with young people who did not volunteer.
D.The sense of mattering to others translates really well to their needs to connect and belong.
E.Everyone in the study enjoyed the work and reported a sense of pride and accomplishment.
F.The experience can be harmful if young people feel like they are being forced to participate.
G.Volunteering gives them a different sense of themselves, a sense of confidence and self-value.
