Mangroves (红树林) are critical ecosystems that bridge land, freshwater, and sea. Home to various species, they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide. Yet they continue to face threats from both human activities and natural processes. The report, The State of the World’s Mangroves 2024, examines global changes in mangrove ecosystems over the past two decades.
Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. The report also highlights the impact of “natural retraction,” a term used to describe mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels.
The global drivers of mangrove loss
Nonetheless, changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results. The rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km2 per year in 2010 — 2020. Mangrove gains are also recorded in several regions, where restoration efforts accounted for 25% — 33% of mangrove expansion in South and Southeast Asia and Africa.
Protecting mangroves requires action at every level. Governments can expand protected areas and improve monitoring systems, while conservation project teams restore damaged wetlands. Scientists develop real-time monitoring tools to detect mangrove loss. The report also stresses the importance of cooperation with local communities. In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects.
1. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020?
A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%.
2. What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades?
A. It worsened climate change. B. It damaged local economy.
C. It expanded on a global scale. D. It showed a downward trend.
3. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration?
A. Make restoration plans. B. Share ecological information.
C. Establish protected areas. D. Update monitoring equipment.

At the beginning of every school year, a new crop of 15-year-olds pile into my classroom. Some are excited for the new year, while others are unmotivated. Regardless of their attitude, I’m always embarrassed to admit I am scared.
Just fake (假装) it until you make it, my fellow teachers advised. But no matter how much I faked it, and how many years spent teaching the same course, the fear has continued. As the relationships with my students deepen, I naturally grow comfortable, but even then, I feel nervous when something unexpected happens in class.
One might expect that this would cause me to be ashamed, to practice even harder, or to study public speaking methods. But I have learned another way.
This year, I was given a group of 10th graders, and on the first day of class, over half shared in their self-introduction paragraph that they were shy and afraid to speak up in class. My replies on their papers were personal: Did you notice how I held my hands to keep them from shaking today? Did you hear how my voice trembled when I noticed everyone looking at me?
And slowly but surely, my students began to open up about the root of their fears. When they saw me, their experienced teacher, trembling, they had more courage during their presentation. When they heard me stumble (磕绊) over my words, they accepted their own pauses trying to find the right ones.
Fear of public speaking rarely goes away completely. So many students are silenced by it in the classroom, but we as teachers have the chance to encourage by leading with empathy instead of pushing or disappointment. That starts with finding the courage to be honest about our own flaws (瑕疵). We must then teach ourselves, and by extension, our students to reframe those flaws as strengths rather than weaknesses.
4. What does the author say about her fear of public speaking?
A. It becomes easier to hide with practice.
B. It prevents her from teaching effectively.
C. It remains despite her teaching experience.
D. It appears when students are less motivated.
5. How did the author deal with her fear this year?
A. She studied public speaking skills. B. She used it to bond with her students.
C. She switched to a different course. D. She asked her fellow teachers for advice.
6. How were the students affected by the author’s change?
A. They became brave speakers. B. They lost respect for her.
C. They found their own flaws. D. They made academic progress.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows. B. Profession is more important than honesty.
C. Sharing personal struggles can empower others. D. Public speaking skills make a successful teacher.
C
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
8. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
9. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
10. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
11. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.
D
Sound travels as vibrations (振动) through the air. Conventional microphones function by picking up these vibrations. Scientists wondered if they could make microphones that see those vibrations rather than hear them. Now researchers in China have built such a device.
Led by physicist Yao Xuri from Beijing Institute of Technology, the team has built a device that photographs the tiny, imperceptible vibrations that sound waves generate on objects. According to Yao, “This technique enables sound detection using everyday items under natural lighting.”
This is hardly the first attempt to make a microphone that works with light. Alexander Graham Bell built one back in 1880. He called it a photophone. It operated by using sound waves to deform a mirror, causing reflected light to flash along with the sound. These flashes were then changed back into sound. Modern attempts have been trying to copy this, using high-speed cameras or precise lasers (激光), but such systems are often complex and costly.
The Chinese team has adopted an alternative approach: single-pixel (单像素) imaging. “Unlike ordinary cameras which rely on millions of sensors, single-pixel imaging uses just one,” Yao noted. It scans a scene to collect visual data, which is then processed by computers to reconstruct an image. Through this technique, Yao’s team detected how sound waves had shaken a paper card or leaf. A computer then decoded the data into audible sound.
The device successfully captured spoken numbers in both Chinese and English and decoded an excerpt from Beethoven’s Für Elise. “This method creates a relatively small amount of data, making it easy to store or upload,” Yao noted. The team is refining the device’s capacity to detect human heartbeat and heart rate, a development that could enable non-contact patient monitoring in medical settings.
Currently, the technology only works from about half a meter away, and detecting sound in noisy environments remains a key challenge. That will take more advanced technology and extensive field testing. But if they succeed, we might not just listen to the world around us — we might watch it speak.
12. The underlined word “imperceptible” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. inaudible B. inaccessible C. unpredictable D. unnoticeable
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Research background. B. Study design. C. Technical approaches. D. Key challenges.
14. How does the single-pixel imaging device differ from ordinary cameras?
A. It works at a super high speed. B. It processes data with a computer.
C. It uses precise lasers to scan scenes. D. It collects data with only one sensor.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the technology?
A. Expectant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain.

It was the day Yollie got her graduation certificate of Baylor College of Medicine. Her dream finally came true. She took out an old greyish dress from her suitcase, her mind flooded by memories of the days when her mother saved money for her education.
Yollie’s mother, Mrs Moreno, was a woman with a unique sense of humor. As a single mother, she supported the family by working at the local market. She didn’t earn much money, but she was always positive and had her own way to provide for Yollie and at the same time saved as much money as possible. Her ways were not always clever ones, though, among which an embarrassing one stood out in Yollie’s memory.
Yollie was a smart kid at Saint Theresa’s High School. She was the winner of the school’s spelling bees. Mrs Moreno encouraged her daughter to study hard, hoping Yollie would realize her dream of becoming a doctor one day. She provided Yollie with a desk, typewriter, and a lamp to protect her eyes from long hours of studying.
One day, Yollie needed a new black outfit for the eighth-grade fall dance, but unluckily, their old car had already cost them nearly a hundred dollars in repairs. Mrs Moreno didn’t have much to spend on the outfit so she decided to buy Yollie a pair of black shoes and fabric dye (染料) to turn her white summer dress black.
At first Yollie doubted her mother’s idea. However, to her surprise, the dress turned out shiny and sophisticated (精致的) after being dyed. She was excited to go to the dance. The dance was romantic, with paper lanterns swinging in the trees and creating a scene straight out of a movie. Yollie enjoyed dancing with her friends under the lanterns until rain began to fall. Disaster struck when Yollie’s dyed dress started to leak black dye, ruining her outfit. In embarrassment, she ran home through the storm.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs Moreno was shocked at the sight of Yollie, but she quickly got her sense of humor at work in just seconds.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From then on, Yollie took the ugly dress with her wherever she went.

【解析】
【导语】文章围绕红树林生态系统展开,介绍了2000-2020年红树林减少的驱动因素变化、减少速率的改善趋势,并阐述了政府、科研团队及当地社区在红树林保护与修复中的作用。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. (在 2000 年至 2020 年期间,包括水产养殖、油棕种植园和水稻种植在内的农业活动是造成全球红树林损失的主要原因。)”以及饼状图2010-2020年的数据,农业活动相关的红树林减少驱动因素包括:水产养殖(Aquaculture)21%、油棕种植(Oil palm)14%、水稻种植(Rice)3%。将三者相加:21% + 14% + 3% = 38%。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The rate of net mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km² per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km² per year in 2010 — 2020. (红树林净减少率下降了44%,从2000-2010年的每年181.5平方公里降至2010-2020年的每年102.4平方公里。)”可知,红树林减少速率呈现明显下降趋势。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects. (在一些项目中,社区成员通过描述红树林的历史分布、减少原因和他们观察到的季节性海岸变化来贡献知识,还通过公民科学平台如iNaturalist提供数据,帮助研究人员制定更有效的修复计划。)”可知,当地社区成员可通过分享生态相关信息与数据来支持红树林修复工作。

So many students are silenced by it in the classroom, but we as teachers have the chance to encourage by leading with empathy instead of pushing or disappointment. That starts with finding the courage to be honest about our own flaws (瑕疵). We must then teach ourselves, and by extension, our students to reframe those flaws as strengths rather than weaknesses.

A. It becomes easier to hide with practice.
B. It prevents her from teaching effectively.
C. It remains despite her teaching experience.
D. It appears when students are less motivated.
5. How did the author deal with her fear this year?
A. She studied public speaking skills. B. She used it to bond with her students.
C. She switched to a different course. D. She asked her fellow teachers for advice.
6. How were the students affected by the author’s change?
A. They became brave speakers. B. They lost respect for her.
C. They found their own flaws. D. They made academic progress.
7. What message does the author want to convey?

The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”

Sound travels as vibrations (振动) through the air. Conventional microphones function by picking up these vibrations. Scientists wondered if they could make microphones that see those vibrations rather than hear them. Now researchers in China have built such a device.
Led by physicist Yao Xuri from Beijing Institute of Technology, the team has built a device that photographs the tiny, imperceptible vibrations that sound waves generate on objects. According to Yao, “This technique enables sound detection using everyday items under natural lighting.”
This is hardly the first attempt to make a microphone that works with light. Alexander Graham Bell built one back in 1880. He called it a photophone. It operated by using sound waves to deform a mirror, causing reflected light to flash along with the sound. These flashes were then changed back into sound. Modern attempts have been trying to copy this, using high-speed cameras or precise lasers (激光), but such systems are often complex and costly.
The Chinese team has adopted an alternative approach: single-pixel (单像素) imaging. “Unlike ordinary cameras which rely on millions of sensors, single-pixel imaging uses just one,” Yao noted. It scans a scene to collect visual data, which is then processed by computers to reconstruct an image. Through this technique, Yao’s team detected how sound waves had shaken a paper card or leaf. A computer then decoded the data into audible sound.
The device successfully captured spoken numbers in both Chinese and English and decoded an excerpt from Beethoven’s Für Elise. “This method creates a relatively small amount of data, making it easy to store or upload,” Yao noted. The team is refining the device’s capacity to detect human heartbeat and heart rate, a development that could enable non-contact patient monitoring in medical settings.
Currently, the technology only works from about half a meter away, and detecting sound in noisy environments remains a key challenge. That will take more advanced technology and extensive field testing. But if they succeed, we might not just listen to the world around us — we might watch it speak.
12. The underlined word “imperceptible” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. inaudible B. inaccessible C. unpredictable D. unnoticeable
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Research background. B. Study design. C. Technical approaches. D. Key challenges.
14. How does the single-pixel imaging device differ from ordinary cameras?
A. It works at a super high speed. B. It processes data with a computer.
C. It uses precise lasers to scan scenes. D. It collects data with only one sensor.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the technology?
A. Expectant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国团队研发的单像素成像拾音设备,通过“看见”声波振动实现收音,具有潜在医疗应用前景并面临现存挑战。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“the team has built a device that photographs the tiny, imperceptible vibrations that sound waves generate on objects.(该团队制造了一种设备,可以拍摄声波在物体上产生的微小、imperceptible振动)”可知,这种振动非常微小,是人们难以察觉的,因此“imperceptible”意为“不明显的、难以察觉的”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“This is hardly the first attempt to make a microphone that works with light. Alexander Graham Bell built one back in 1880.He called it a photophone. It operated by using sound waves to deform a mirror, causing reflected light to flash along with the sound. These flashes were then changed back into sound. Modern attempts have been trying to copy this, using high-speed cameras or precise lasers (激光),but such systems are often complex and costly. (这并不是第一次尝试制造用光工作的麦克风。亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔早在1880年就制造了一个,他称之为光电话。它利用声波使反射镜变形,使反射光随声音一起闪烁,然后这些闪烁被转换回声音。现代的尝试一直在模仿这一技术,使用高速相机或精确的激光,但这样的系统通常复杂且昂贵)”可知,本段主要介绍了相关研究的背景。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Unlike ordinary cameras which rely on millions of sensors, single-pixel imaging uses just one(与依赖数百万个传感器的普通相机不同,单像素成像只使用一个传感器)”可知,单像素成像设备与普通相机的区别在于它只用一个传感器收集数据。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But if they succeed, we might not just listen to the world around us — we might watch it speak.(但如果他们成功了,我们可能不仅能倾听周围的世界,还能“看见”它说话)”可知,作者对这项技术的未来充满期待。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】文章论述了“永不放弃”这一主题。文章以生活中的常见鼓励话语引入,指出生活如同马拉松,坚持是个人成功的秘诀,以婴儿学步为例进行说明。通过《鲁滨逊漂流记》中鲁滨逊的经历,表明“永不放弃”的积极生活态度能激励我们勇敢面对生活挑战。
【36题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:当我们陷入困境时,总是被告知“永不放弃”。in trouble为固定短语,意为“处于困境中”,所以此处填in。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:生活就像一场马拉松,坚持是个人成功的秘诀。本句陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语persistence是不可数名词,所以谓语动词用is。故填is。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:回顾我们小时候学走路的日子,一开始我们肯定会经常摔倒。be bound to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“肯定会做某事”,所以此处用to fall。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果我们放弃尝试,躺在地上,等待成年人的帮助,我们就永远学不会走路。分析句子结构,已有谓语动词gave up和lay,此处应用非谓语动词,we与wait之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词waiting作伴随状语。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:“永不放弃”,一种积极的生活态度,激励我们勇敢地面对生活中的挑战。此处修饰动词face,应用副词bravely,意为“勇敢地”。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:《鲁滨逊漂流记》,一部不朽的小说,是所有文学作品中最受欢迎的作品之一。work作“作品”讲时为可数名词,根据one of可知,此处应用复数形式works。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:鲁滨逊,丹尼尔·笛福塑造的一个传奇人物,在一场可怕的海难中幸存下来,被冲到了一个荒岛上。分析句子结构,已有谓语动词survives和is washed,此处应用非谓语动词,Robinson与create之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词created作后置定语,修饰Robinson,表示“被塑造的”。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:鲁滨逊,丹尼尔·笛福塑造的一个传奇人物,在一场可怕的海难中幸存下来,被冲到了一个荒岛上。island为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一个荒岛”,且desert是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【44题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:你可以想象几乎一无所有地生活有多艰难,但他用自己的智慧和勇气克服了无数困难。此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作imagine的宾语,结合语境,此处表示“多么艰难”,强调程度,所以用连接副词how。
【45题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:你可以想象几乎一无所有地生活有多艰难,但他用自己的智慧和勇气克服了无数困难。此处修饰名词wisdom and courage,应用形容词性物主代词his,意为“他的”。

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。
It was the day Yollie got her graduation certificate of Baylor College of Medicine. Her dream finally came true. She took out an old greyish dress from her suitcase, her mind flooded by memories of the days when her mother saved money for her education.
Yollie’s mother, Mrs Moreno, was a woman with a unique sense of humor. As a single mother, she supported the family by working at the local market. She didn’t earn much money, but she was always positive and had her own way to provide for Yollie and at the same time saved as much money as possible. Her ways were not always clever ones, though, among which an embarrassing one stood out in Yollie’s memory.
Yollie was a smart kid at Saint Theresa’s High School. She was the winner of the school’s spelling bees. Mrs Moreno encouraged her daughter to study hard, hoping Yollie would realize her dream of becoming a doctor one day. She provided Yollie with a desk, typewriter, and a lamp to protect her eyes from long hours of studying.
One day, Yollie needed a new black outfit for the eighth-grade fall dance, but unluckily, their old car had already cost them nearly a hundred dollars in repairs. Mrs Moreno didn’t have much to spend on the outfit so she decided to buy Yollie a pair of black shoes and fabric dye (染料) to turn her white summer dress black.
At first Yollie doubted her mother’s idea. However, to her surprise, the dress turned out shiny and sophisticated (精致的) after being dyed. She was excited to go to the dance. The dance was romantic, with paper lanterns swinging in the trees and creating a scene straight out of a movie. Yollie enjoyed dancing with her friends under the lanterns until rain began to fall. Disaster struck when Yollie’s dyed dress started to leak black dye, ruining her outfit. In embarrassment, she ran home through the storm.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs Moreno was shocked at the sight of Yollie, but she quickly got her sense of humor at work in just seconds.

From then on, Yollie took the ugly dress with her wherever she went.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Mrs Moreno was shocked at the sight of Yollie, but she quickly got her sense of humor at work in just seconds. “Get changed and give the dress a wash. Let’s see what color it will turn,” she said. Yollie broke into laughter, replying, “Greyish, I think. Maybe grey will be in fashion next year.” Yollie got changed and put the dress into the washing machine. When they took it out, they were disappointed that it was an ugly greyish color. “Sorry dear, if you want to wear it again, I will have to dye it black,” Mrs Moreno joked. “I’d better choose a fine day to wear it,” Yollie said giggling.
From then on, Yollie took the ugly dress with her wherever she went. It was a reminder of her mother’s struggle to bring her up, a reminder of Mom’s positiveness towards challenges in life and a reminder of the days when life could be hard but never dull. She knew deep in her heart that she owed everything to her mother, who worked hard, saved and gave her the best education. She decided to dye it black again so that she would be able to put it on and fly home to share with Mom the happiness of graduation.
