A
London has more to explore beyond the British Museum! Now, get stuck into some small, specialized museums.
The Fan Museum
To be the most fan-tastic of all London museums, Greenwich’s Fan Museum has an obvious head start. The collection dates back to the tenth century and the displays change throughout the year. According to the Victorian “language of fans”, drawing a fan across the cheek means “I love you”. Practice it, because it’ll be your preferred method of communication.
Grant Museum of Zoology
Be warned: UCL’s museum of zoology isn’t for the faint of heart. The bones of an elephant head and a mole (鼹鼠) jaw are among the exhibits that discourage a total chicken. Your hair stands on end, yes, but you’ll learn some fascinating stuff here. It’s the Noah’s Ark equivalent (等同物) of London’s numerous medical museums.
The Magic Circle
If you’ve got a trick or two up your sleeve, this is the right place. Located at the Magic Circle Headquarters in Euston, its prized possessions include Harry Houdini’s handcuffs (手铐) and the belongings of legendary magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin. Sadly, you can’t explore it whenever you please — it can only be visited as part of a public event.
The Cinema Museum
This Kennington museum only opens its doors for guided tours if you book in advance. But believe us, it’s worth all the trouble. There’s a great collection of posters, projectors, cinema carpets, fan magazines and souvenirs, plus more than 17 million feet of film on exhibition.
1. Which museum is a bit scary?
A. The Fan Museum.
B. Grant Museum of Zoology.
C. The Magic Circle.
D. The Cinema Museum.
2. What do The Magic Circle and The Cinema Museum have in common?
A. They share a romantic theme.
B. They set restrictions on visits.
C. They operate on souvenir sales.
D. They refresh exhibits frequently.
3. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A travel journal. B. A history textbook.
C. A tourist magazine. D. A historical document.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了伦敦除大英博物馆外值得一探的小型专业博物馆。

细节理解题。根据The Magic Circle部分中“Sadly, you can’t explore it whenever you please — it can only be visited as part of a public event. (遗憾的是,你不能随心所欲地探索它——它只能作为公共活动的一部分被参观。)”以及The Cinema Museum部分中“This Kennington museum only opens its doors for guided tours if you book in advance. (这家肯宁顿博物馆只有提前预订才能提供导游服务。)”可知,The Magic Circle和The Cinema Museum的共同之处是它们对参观有限制。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“London has more to explore beyond the British Museum! Now, get stuck into some small, specialized museums. (伦敦除了大英博物馆之外还有更多值得探索的地方!现在,让我们深入了解一些小型专业博物馆。)”可知,文章主要介绍了伦敦除大英博物馆外值得一探的小型专业博物馆。可推知,文章可能选自一本旅游杂志。
B
The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Chloe was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises (妥协). As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.
4. How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her?
A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Sad.
5. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3?
A. Chloe’s travel experiences. B. Chloe’s joy of travel.
C. Chloe’s bravery during her travels. D. Chloe’s impression on travel.
6. What did Chloe do for high school education after returning home?
A. Chloe got an award in high school. B. Chloe applied for a school in Africa.
C. Chloe finished high school in Vancouver. D. Chloe went on travelling in Southern Africa.
7. What can we draw from the text?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Parents are the best teachers.
C. Travel shapes a person. D. Life is like a journey.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了一位母亲与女儿Chloe之间因旅行而产生的成长故事。起初,Chloe对母亲独自出行感到不解和伤心,但后来母女俩开始共同旅行,这些经历激发了Chloe的勇气、领导欲和对全球视角的理解。随着Chloe长大,她选择去非洲完成高中学业,这段经历使她变得更加成熟独立,让母亲意识到角色转换,现在轮到她送别自己的孩子。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried.(我的女儿克洛伊第一次意识到我要独自外出旅行而不带她一起时,她感到非常惊慌。“既然你要离开我不管不顾,那当初为什么还要让我存在呢?”她哭喊道)”可知,Chloe第一次意识到她的妈妈将不带她出去旅行时,她感到伤心。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.(她六岁那年,我们去了墨西哥的里维埃拉玛雅。看到她在天然井中游泳或沿着珊瑚礁潜水时那乐观而无所畏惧的样子,我深受触动。在斐济,九岁的克洛伊被我们遇到的富有同情心的女性酋长所吸引,并决定要成为一名领导者。在她13岁时去斯里兰卡的旅行中,她了解到出生国的随机选择会如何影响一个人的人生机遇)”可知,第三段主要介绍了Chloe的旅行经历。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.(当我们结束旅行,回到温哥华送女儿去上高中时,得知她另有打算其实并不令人意外。经过数月的面试,克洛伊终于获得了在南部非洲的Waterford Kamhlaba 联合世界学院完成高中学业的资格,听到这个消息时她显得非常兴奋)”可知,Chloe回到温哥华的家中接受高中教育时,经过面试,Chloe获得了在南部非洲Waterford Kamhlaba联合世界学院完成高中学业的机会。因此,Chloe回到温哥华后,申请了在非洲的一所学校。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.(但正是在那次机场的道别时刻,我才意识到轮到我被留在这里了。与那个傻乎乎的17岁的自己相比,那个从非洲高中毕业、后来又从法国大学毕业、回到家乡的21岁女子,显得成熟而陌生)”以及文章描述了旅行如何影响和塑造了Chloe的性格和人生观,表达了旅行对一个人的塑造作用。
C
The six degrees of separation theory holds that any two people worldwide can be linked by no more than six contacts. It has developed from a simple social idea into a useful tool for social communication, academic study and real-world practice. First introduced in 1929 as only a theory, it is now widely used in many fields and greatly influences people’s way of making connections and dealing with problems in modern society.
In social science, researchers apply the theory to explore the spread of information, ideas and even public opinions. It turns out that the hidden short chains of social connections act as efficient channels for information flow, explaining how a regional event can quickly gain global attention through layered social contacts. Businesses have also adopted this finding in marketing and public relations, using these hidden social links to promote products and enhance brand influence with higher efficiency, abandoning traditional extensive advertising strategies.
What makes the theory more valuable is its use in emergency response and resource allocation. When facing natural disasters or public crises, workers can utilize the six-degree social network to quickly locate needed resources, contact relevant personnel and deliver aid to isolated areas. This approach has greatly improved the efficiency of disaster relief, breaking through the bottlenecks of traditional communication and transportation limitations.
Nevertheless, the practical application of the theory faces undeniable challenges. Over-reliance on social connection chains may lead to the rapid spread of false information alongside valid content, as shallow online connections lack strict checking. Meanwhile, the theory only focuses on the existence of social links but ignores their quality and authenticity, meaning it cannot fully explain the complexity of deep interpersonal relationships.
As the theory continues to be developed with modern data analysis, it still serves as a powerful tool to interpret the complex web of human society. It reminds people that every social connection holds potential value, while urging us to treat social links sensibly and distinguish genuine relationships in the digital age.
8. What is the core idea of the six degrees of separation theory?
A. Any two people can be connected via at most six intermediate contacts.
B. People in modern society can only communicate with six contacts.
C. The theory was first put forward in the 1920s and remains unchanged.
D. It is mainly used to solve problems in academic research.
9. How do businesses use the six-degree theory according to Paragraph 2?
A. They abandon all marketing strategies and rely only on social media.
B. They focus on traditional extensive advertising to reach more customers.
C. They explore the spread of public opinions to control consumers’ choices.
D. They use hidden social connections to promote products more efficiently.
10. What advantage does the theory have in emergency response?
A. It helps people distinguish genuine relationships in the digital age.
B. It prevents the spread of false information during public crises.
C. It overcomes communication and transportation bottlenecks in disaster relief.
D. It provides strict checking for online connections to ensure resource safety.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the history of a well-known social theory.
B. To discuss the value and limits of a social theory.
C. To compare different uses of social network theories.
D. To encourage people to build more social connections.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了六度分隔理论在现代社会中的应用价值及其面临的局限性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The six degrees of separation theory holds that any two people worldwide can be linked by no more than six contacts.(六度分隔理论认为,世界上任意两个人最多只需通过六个中间人即可建立联系)”可知,该理论的核心观点是任意两人之间最多通过六个联系人即可相连。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Businesses have also adopted this finding in marketing and public relations, using these hidden social links to promote products and enhance brand influence with higher efficiency, abandoning traditional extensive advertising strategies.(企业也在市场营销和公关中采纳了这一发现,利用这些隐藏的社会联系以更高的效率推广产品并增强品牌影响力,摒弃了传统的粗放式广告策略)”可知,企业利用隐藏的社会关系网更高效地推广产品。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This approach has greatly improved the efficiency of disaster relief, breaking through the bottlenecks of traditional communication and transportation limitations.(这种方式极大地提高了救灾效率,突破了传统通信和交通限制的瓶颈)”可知,该理论在救灾中能帮助克服通信和交通的瓶颈。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,特别是倒数第二段“Nevertheless, the practical application of the theory faces undeniable challenges.(尽管如此,该理论的实际应用仍面临不可否认的挑战)”以及最后一段“As the theory continues to be developed with modern data analysis, it still serves as a powerful tool to interpret the complex web of human society. It reminds people that every social connection holds potential value, while urging us to treat social links sensibly and distinguish genuine relationships in the digital age.(随着该理论借助现代数据分析不断发展,它依然是解读人类社会复杂关系网的有力工具。它提醒人们,每一段社会关系都蕴藏着潜在价值,同时也敦促我们在数字时代理智对待社交纽带,并甄别真正的人际关系)”可知,文章既讨论了六度分隔理论的实用价值,也探讨了其局限性。

Space agencies have been treating the idea of living on Mars (火星) a long-term goal. However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. Shipping material from Earth would be far too unrealistic. A practical approach, as is published on the website NASA Science, is to build with what is already on Mars.
NASA has collected samples of Martian soil that may contain evidence of very early life. That raises a bigger question: if microorganisms (微生物) once lived on Mars, could they also help us build there? The focus is biomineralization — microorganisms create minerals as part of their metabolism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions.
The work centers on a partnership between two bacteria: Sporosarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is known for creating calcium carbonate, and Chroococcidiopsis (拟甲色球藻), a strong cyanobacterium that can survive extreme environments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian conditions. Together, they transform loose soil into a solid, concrete - like material.
The long-term vision is to combine this bacterial co-culture with Martian soil and use it as feedstock (原料) for 3D printing on Mars. If it works in volume, it could change how structures are made on this red planet. The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化).
Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction.
12. Why is a shelter of vital importance on Mars?
A. Because material from Earth can’t be used.
B. Because too many space agencies want to stay.
C. Because its conditions are deadly for Earth life.
D. Because space agencies target long-term research.
13. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Boom. B. Sink.
C. Communicate. D. Disappear.
14. What can be inferred about the construction work?
A. It is an incredibly fast process.
B. It may bring about added bonus.
C. It has been tested and confirmed.
D. It takes just two types of bacteria.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas.
C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了利用火星本土微生物在火星建造避难所的设想及面临的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. (然而,稀薄的空气、低气压和极端温度是大多数地球生命无法忍受的,更不用说持续的辐射了。因此,火星避难所是任何可持续人类生活计划的核心。)”可知,火星上的条件对地球生命来说是致命的,所以避难所在火星上至关重要。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions. (该研究的主要作者埃里克·理查兹说,地球上在酸性湖泊、火山土壤和深洞穴等恶劣环境中burgeon的微生物,在我们探索火星条件下可能起作用的东西时可能特别有用。)”可知,此处表示在恶劣环境中繁盛的微生物,burgeon意为“繁盛,激增”,与boom意思相近。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化). (其潜在价值不仅限于建筑。因为拟甲色球藻可以产生氧气,它还可以帮助实现自给自足的农业和火星的地球化。)”可推知,这项建造工作可能会带来额外的好处。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction. (即使有很有前途的想法,他们的工作仍处于早期阶段。火星样本返回的反复延迟限制了火星特定建造方法的测试和确认速度。此外,目前的机器人技术还无法在地球上重现火星的重力,而重力会影响3D打印和自主建造。)”可知,最后一段主要讲了目前这项工作面临的障碍。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often blindly used to express freedom and relief. ____16____ Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference.
The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up. ____17____ J. K. Rowling, for instance, faced widespread doubt when proposing Harry Potter, but she kept polishing her novel without worrying about criticism. It was her persistence in crafting a magical world that eventually brought her success. As you can see in Rowling’s example, ignoring external doubts can actually help us stay focused on our own goals.
____18____ This happens when someone acts out of stubbornness (固执) or a desire to shift blame, or acts selfishly, focusing solely on their own desires while ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. In the case of recent social media algorithm scandals (算法丑闻), tech giants repeatedly ignored internal researchers’ warnings about mental health harms to teenagers, claiming “not their department” Finally, it has caused uncontrollable rising anxiety and self-harm rates among young users. ____19____
Therefore, it’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges? ____20____ There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. By carefully choosing when to adopt the “I don’t care” attitude, we can lead more fulfilling lives.
A. The key is balance.
B. Motivation comes first.
C. Great achievements tend to come from ignoring doubters.
D. When no one takes responsibility, it is everyone’s disaster.
E. This mindset, however, can also have negative consequences.
F. Others, however, are always concerned about everyone’s feelings.
G. While this attitude can be liberating, it also comes with potential risks.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨“我不在乎”心态的利弊,并倡导把握分寸平衡运用。
【16题详解】
由上文“Today, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often blindly used to express freedom and relief. (如今,“我不在乎”的态度越来越流行。像“我不在乎别人怎么想”这样的话经常被盲目地用来表达自由和解脱。)”及下文“Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference. (理解何时采用这种心态会产生很大的影响。)”可知,上文讲这种态度流行且让人放松,下文提醒要理性看待,本空需转折点明态度虽洒脱但有潜在风险。G选项“虽然这种态度可以让人感到自由,但它也伴随着潜在的风险。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【17题详解】
由上文“The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up.(当“我不在乎”的态度激励我们坚持下去时,尤其是当别人已经放弃时,这种态度是非常有益的。)”及下文“J. K. Rowling, for instance, faced widespread doubt when proposing Harry Potter, but she kept polishing her novel without worrying about criticism. It was her persistence in crafting a magical world that eventually brought her success. (例如,J.K.罗琳在提出《哈利·波特》时面临着广泛的质疑,但她没有担心批评,继续打磨她的小说。正是她坚持创造一个魔法世界,最终给她带来了成功。)”可知,上文描述了“我不在乎”这种态度的益处,下文举了J.K.罗琳的例子,本空应进一步说明这种益处,即伟大的成就往往来自于忽视怀疑者,C选项“伟大的成就往往来自于忽视怀疑者。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【18题详解】
由第二段讲述这种心态的益处,以及下文“This happens when someone acts out of stubbornness or a desire to shift blame, or acts selfishly.(人会因固执、推卸责任或自私产生不良行为。)”可知,下文介绍负面影响,此处语义转折,开始介绍这种心态的弊端。E选项“然而,这种心态也会带来负面后果。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【19题详解】
由上文“This happens when someone acts out of stubbornness (固执) or a desire to shift blame, or acts selfishly, focusing solely on their own desires while ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. In the case of recent social media algorithm scandals (算法丑闻), tech giants repeatedly ignored internal researchers’ warnings about mental health harms to teenagers, claiming “not their department” Finally, it has caused uncontrollable rising anxiety and self-harm rates among young users.(这种情况发生在某人出于固执或想要推卸责任而行动,或者自私地行动,只关注自己的欲望,而忽视人们的需求是如何相互关联的。在最近的社交媒体算法丑闻中,科技巨头多次无视内部研究人员关于青少年心理健康危害的警告,声称“不是他们的部门”,最终,这导致了年轻用户中焦虑和自残率不可控制地上升。)”可知,上文描述了“我不在乎”这种态度的负面影响,本空应进一步说明这种影响的严重性,即当没有人承担责任时,就是每个人的灾难,D选项“当没有人承担责任时,就是每个人的灾难。”能承接上文,符合语境。
【20题详解】
由上文“Therefore, it’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges? (因此,反思我们为什么采取“我不在乎”的态度至关重要。我们是出于对自己决定的信心,还是仅仅在逃避挑战?)”及下文“There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. (有时候,关心他人、真相和个人成长是至关重要的。在其他时候,对消极情绪、干扰或不必要的压力保持冷漠同样重要。)”可知,上文说明了反思我们为什么采取“我不在乎”的态度很重要,下文说明有时关心他人很重要,有时保持冷漠同样重要,本空应强调要把握分寸,说明关键是要平衡。A选项“关键是要平衡。”能承上启下,符合语境。

【答案】
Less Screen, More Life
It’s common to see students who are always staring at their phones. This not only wastes time but also harms our eyes and study.
I call on everyone to try “Digital Minimalism”. It means using digital tools wisely, not letting them control us. We can start by turning off unnecessary notifications and setting screen time limits. Spend more time reading, exercising, and talking face-to-face with friends and family.
Remember, technology is a tool that should serve us, not a master that we must always obey. I believe that if we make small changes, our campus life will become more meaningful. Let’s take action together!

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。
Jimmy and Bob had a lot in common. They studied in the same class and lived in the same community, just a few houses apart. Both were top students in their class, winning praise from teachers and parents. Yet there was a sense of rivalry deep in both of their hearts. They both secretly wanted to be the best, rather than just one of the best.
One day, their teacher announced a special charity sale all students could participate in to raise money by selling homemade things. All the money from the sale would be donated to the children in a partnered special school, and the student who raised the most money would get the honor to name the activity.
Jimmy and Bob immediately decided to join separately: Jimmy planned to sell his paintings, while Bob prepared to sell candies following a family recipe with a delicious taste.
When the big day arrived, the school playground buzzed with energy: colorful ribbons and balloons everywhere, stalls (摊位) neatly arranged across the field. A few stalls away, Jimmy saw Bob’s plain-looking candies and his empty cash box. He even felt kind of happy, thinking he could beat him this time. But things didn’t go as expected. Jimmy’s cash box was no better, with only one or two coins inside. Feeling upset, he accidentally heard two students talking nearby. “Good paintings, but I prefer something practical with my only pocket money,” one student said. Their words hitting Jimmy like a lightning bolt, he suddenly had an idea.
At lunch break, Jimmy went to Bob. “Bob, I have an idea,” he said seriously. “I once tasted your candies. Although they’re not eye-catching, the tastes are amazing. My paintings are beautiful but not practical to students in our school. What if we work together? We can split the money equally, and if we win, we can name the activity together — if permitted.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Bob studied Jimmy in surprise, his eyes lighting up a little.

When the sale ended that day, Jimmy and Bob found their cash box was nearly full.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Bob studied Jimmy in surprise, his eyes lighting up a little. After a moment’s hesitation, he nodded enthusiastically. “That’s a great idea, Jimmy! I never thought we could combine our strengths like this.” He quickly gathered his candies while Jimmy packed up his paintings. Together, they set up a new stall where they offered a deal: with every purchase of candies, customers could get a small painting as a gift. The combination of delicious treats and beautiful artworks attracted many students who were eager to support the charity and get something special in return.
When the sale ended that day, Jimmy and Bob found their cash box was nearly full. They counted the money excitedly, realizing they had raised much more than either of them could have done alone. As they handed the money to their teacher, she praised their teamwork and creativity. “You two have shown that when we work together, we can achieve greater things,” she said. In the end, Jimmy and Bob were named the winners of the charity sale, and they happily named the activity “Art & Sweets for a Cause,” knowing that their friendship and cooperation had made a real difference.

London has more to explore beyond the British Museum! Now, get stuck into some small, specialized museums.
The Fan Museum
To be the most fan-tastic of all London museums, Greenwich’s Fan Museum has an obvious head start. The collection dates back to the tenth century and the displays change throughout the year. According to the Victorian “language of fans”, drawing a fan across the cheek means “I love you”. Practice it, because it’ll be your preferred method of communication.
Grant Museum of Zoology
Be warned: UCL’s museum of zoology isn’t for the faint of heart. The bones of an elephant head and a mole (鼹鼠) jaw are among the exhibits that discourage a total chicken. Your hair stands on end, yes, but you’ll learn some fascinating stuff here. It’s the Noah’s Ark equivalent (等同物) of London’s numerous medical museums.
The Magic Circle
If you’ve got a trick or two up your sleeve, this is the right place. Located at the Magic Circle Headquarters in Euston, its prized possessions include Harry Houdini’s handcuffs (手铐) and the belongings of legendary magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin. Sadly, you can’t explore it whenever you please — it can only be visited as part of a public event.
The Cinema Museum
This Kennington museum only opens its doors for guided tours if you book in advance. But believe us, it’s worth all the trouble. There’s a great collection of posters, projectors, cinema carpets, fan magazines and souvenirs, plus more than 17 million feet of film on exhibition.
1. Which museum is a bit scary?
A. The Fan Museum.
B. Grant Museum of Zoology.
C. The Magic Circle.
D. The Cinema Museum.
2. What do The Magic Circle and The Cinema Museum have in common?
A. They share a romantic theme.
B. They set restrictions on visits.
C. They operate on souvenir sales.
D. They refresh exhibits frequently.
3. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A travel journal. B. A history textbook.
C. A tourist magazine. D. A historical document.
B
The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Chloe was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises (妥协). As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.
4. How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her?
A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Sad.
5. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3?
A. Chloe’s travel experiences. B. Chloe’s joy of travel.
C. Chloe’s bravery during her travels. D. Chloe’s impression on travel.
6. What did Chloe do for high school education after returning home?
A. Chloe got an award in high school. B. Chloe applied for a school in Africa.
C. Chloe finished high school in Vancouver. D. Chloe went on travelling in Southern Africa.
7. What can we draw from the text?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Parents are the best teachers.
C. Travel shapes a person. D. Life is like a journey.
C
The six degrees of separation theory holds that any two people worldwide can be linked by no more than six contacts. It has developed from a simple social idea into a useful tool for social communication, academic study and real-world practice. First introduced in 1929 as only a theory, it is now widely used in many fields and greatly influences people’s way of making connections and dealing with problems in modern society.
In social science, researchers apply the theory to explore the spread of information, ideas and even public opinions. It turns out that the hidden short chains of social connections act as efficient channels for information flow, explaining how a regional event can quickly gain global attention through layered social contacts. Businesses have also adopted this finding in marketing and public relations, using these hidden social links to promote products and enhance brand influence with higher efficiency, abandoning traditional extensive advertising strategies.
What makes the theory more valuable is its use in emergency response and resource allocation. When facing natural disasters or public crises, workers can utilize the six-degree social network to quickly locate needed resources, contact relevant personnel and deliver aid to isolated areas. This approach has greatly improved the efficiency of disaster relief, breaking through the bottlenecks of traditional communication and transportation limitations.
Nevertheless, the practical application of the theory faces undeniable challenges. Over-reliance on social connection chains may lead to the rapid spread of false information alongside valid content, as shallow online connections lack strict checking. Meanwhile, the theory only focuses on the existence of social links but ignores their quality and authenticity, meaning it cannot fully explain the complexity of deep interpersonal relationships.
As the theory continues to be developed with modern data analysis, it still serves as a powerful tool to interpret the complex web of human society. It reminds people that every social connection holds potential value, while urging us to treat social links sensibly and distinguish genuine relationships in the digital age.
8. What is the core idea of the six degrees of separation theory?
A. Any two people can be connected via at most six intermediate contacts.
B. People in modern society can only communicate with six contacts.
C. The theory was first put forward in the 1920s and remains unchanged.
D. It is mainly used to solve problems in academic research.
9. How do businesses use the six-degree theory according to Paragraph 2?
A. They abandon all marketing strategies and rely only on social media.
B. They focus on traditional extensive advertising to reach more customers.
C. They explore the spread of public opinions to control consumers’ choices.
D. They use hidden social connections to promote products more efficiently.
10. What advantage does the theory have in emergency response?
A. It helps people distinguish genuine relationships in the digital age.
B. It prevents the spread of false information during public crises.
C. It overcomes communication and transportation bottlenecks in disaster relief.
D. It provides strict checking for online connections to ensure resource safety.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the history of a well-known social theory.
B. To discuss the value and limits of a social theory.
C. To compare different uses of social network theories.
D. To encourage people to build more social connections.
D
Space agencies have been treating the idea of living on Mars (火星) a long-term goal. However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. Shipping material from Earth would be far too unrealistic. A practical approach, as is published on the website NASA Science, is to build with what is already on Mars.
NASA has collected samples of Martian soil that may contain evidence of very early life. That raises a bigger question: if microorganisms (微生物) once lived on Mars, could they also help us build there? The focus is biomineralization — microorganisms create minerals as part of their metabolism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions.
The work centers on a partnership between two bacteria: Sporosarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is known for creating calcium carbonate, and Chroococcidiopsis (拟甲色球藻), a strong cyanobacterium that can survive extreme environments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian conditions. Together, they transform loose soil into a solid, concrete - like material.
The long-term vision is to combine this bacterial co-culture with Martian soil and use it as feedstock (原料) for 3D printing on Mars. If it works in volume, it could change how structures are made on this red planet. The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化).
Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction.
12. Why is a shelter of vital importance on Mars?
A. Because material from Earth can’t be used.
B. Because too many space agencies want to stay.
C. Because its conditions are deadly for Earth life.
D. Because space agencies target long-term research.
13. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Boom. B. Sink.
C. Communicate. D. Disappear.
14. What can be inferred about the construction work?
A. It is an incredibly fast process.
B. It may bring about added bonus.
C. It has been tested and confirmed.
D. It takes just two types of bacteria.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas.
C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often blindly used to express freedom and relief. ____16____ Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference.
The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up. ____17____ J. K. Rowling, for instance, faced widespread doubt when proposing Harry Potter, but she kept polishing her novel without worrying about criticism. It was her persistence in crafting a magical world that eventually brought her success. As you can see in Rowling’s example, ignoring external doubts can actually help us stay focused on our own goals.
____18____ This happens when someone acts out of stubbornness (固执) or a desire to shift blame, or acts selfishly, focusing solely on their own desires while ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. In the case of recent social media algorithm scandals (算法丑闻), tech giants repeatedly ignored internal researchers’ warnings about mental health harms to teenagers, claiming “not their department” Finally, it has caused uncontrollable rising anxiety and self-harm rates among young users. ____19____
Therefore, it’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges? ____20____ There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. By carefully choosing when to adopt the “I don’t care” attitude, we can lead more fulfilling lives.
A. The key is balance.
B. Motivation comes first.
C. Great achievements tend to come from ignoring doubters.
D. When no one takes responsibility, it is everyone’s disaster.
E. This mindset, however, can also have negative consequences.
F. Others, however, are always concerned about everyone’s feelings.
G. While this attitude can be liberating, it also comes with potential risks.

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。
Jimmy and Bob had a lot in common. They studied in the same class and lived in the same community, just a few houses apart. Both were top students in their class, winning praise from teachers and parents. Yet there was a sense of rivalry deep in both of their hearts. They both secretly wanted to be the best, rather than just one of the best.
One day, their teacher announced a special charity sale all students could participate in to raise money by selling homemade things. All the money from the sale would be donated to the children in a partnered special school, and the student who raised the most money would get the honor to name the activity.
Jimmy and Bob immediately decided to join separately: Jimmy planned to sell his paintings, while Bob prepared to sell candies following a family recipe with a delicious taste.
When the big day arrived, the school playground buzzed with energy: colorful ribbons and balloons everywhere, stalls (摊位) neatly arranged across the field. A few stalls away, Jimmy saw Bob’s plain-looking candies and his empty cash box. He even felt kind of happy, thinking he could beat him this time. But things didn’t go as expected. Jimmy’s cash box was no better, with only one or two coins inside. Feeling upset, he accidentally heard two students talking nearby. “Good paintings, but I prefer something practical with my only pocket money,” one student said. Their words hitting Jimmy like a lightning bolt, he suddenly had an idea.
At lunch break, Jimmy went to Bob. “Bob, I have an idea,” he said seriously. “I once tasted your candies. Although they’re not eye-catching, the tastes are amazing. My paintings are beautiful but not practical to students in our school. What if we work together? We can split the money equally, and if we win, we can name the activity together — if permitted.”
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。
Bob studied Jimmy in surprise, his eyes lighting up a little.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the sale ended that day, Jimmy and Bob found their cash box was nearly full.
