And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 21. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 22. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 23. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个招募志愿者的环保项目。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Great UK WaterBlitz部分中“To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. (要参与即将到来的活动，只需在earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz网站注册，即可收到更多信息，以及你自己的水质检测工具包。)”可知，The Great UK WaterBlitz项目为参与者配备工具。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Nature’s Calendar部分中“This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. (林地信托基金的这项倡议旨在追踪季节变化和模式，以了解气候变化如何影响我们的生态系统。)”可知，Nature’s Calendar的主要目标是监测气候变化的影响。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Big Butterfly Count部分中“Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. (参与者被要求每天花费 15 分钟，通过他们的网站追踪工具或应用程序来记录自己所看到的蝴蝶。)”、The Great UK WaterBlitz部分中“The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. (下一项活动将于2025年4月25日至28日开展，届时将邀请志愿者记录当地淡水水源的水质情况。)”；The Big Garden Birdwatch部分中“Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. (该活动由英国皇家鸟类保护协会组织，这是全球规模最大的花园野生动物调查活动，每年于一月份开展，活动邀请志愿者报名参与，只需每天花一小时观察自家花园，并记录下所看到的鸟类。)”以及Nature’s Calendar部分中“The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. (这个简单易行的三步流程要求你选定一个物种及其行为表现，确定要记录的区域，并在在线系统中记录下这些行为发生的日期。)”可知，这四个项目的共同之处是它们收集参与者记录的数据。故选C。 B My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember. Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives. So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort. Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures. 24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para.1? A. Advantage B. Annoyance C. Preference. D. Strength. 25. How did the author behave about public speaking after leaving Toastmasters? A. He began to feel less worried. B. He became a polished speaker. C. He remained a shy speaker. D. Things became worse for him. 26. What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day? A. It was a good chance to learn science. B. He must rise up to defend his profession. C. It was a project organized by Toastmasters. D. He couldn’t have people attacking science. 27. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech? A. Passion can motive us to achieve the unachievable. B. No difficulty can be overcome with great effort. C. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes. D. Frustration can be stepping stones to success. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者一直以来害怕在公共场合发表演讲，一次偶然的机会，他决定为捍卫科学挺身而出发表演讲并从此战胜了自己，这让作者领悟到，激情能够燃起心中的火焰，让自己做到曾经不可能完成的事。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting.(在大学期间和我最初的几份工作中，当我必须做报告或主持会议时，我会感到异常紧张。)”可知，作者在大学期间和参加工作之初，一到开会或者需要做公开演讲的时候就会紧张。由此可以推断，当众演讲是让作者烦恼的事情，划线词的含义是“让人恼火的事”，与annoyance意思相近。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.(在每次会议上，我们都被评分，被迫与其他演讲者竞争奖项。你可能会认为我在经历这些之后会成为一名出色的演说家，但这些经历似乎不起作用。)”可知，作者参加了很多比赛，但是仍然是一个害羞的演讲者。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out.(直到最近，当科学和科学机构在大流行期间因不公平的原因受到攻击时，我才决定必须大声疾呼。)”可知，不想让人们攻击科学让作者决定发声。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.(在将近四十岁的时候，我明白了激情可以点燃我心中的火焰，让我去做我做梦都认为不可能的事情。导致我演讲的黑暗一定会带来新的机会和冒险。)”可知，作者意识到激情能够燃烧内心的火焰，让我们去做做梦都认为不可能的事情，也就是说作者认为激情可以激励我们去实现无法实现的目标。故选A。 C Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare（噩梦）. But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can enhance adaptability. Neuroscience（神经科学） reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience, （抗逆力）, a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it's worth it. 28. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Possible to change. B. Certain to function. C. Unlikely to be settled. D. Unable to be accepted. 29. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text? A. The fast but worthless relief. B. The meaningful engagement. C. The loss of thinking capacity. D. The lack of necessary comfort. 30. Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”? A. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B. Ordering take-out food after work. C. Exploring a new city by using GPS. D. Writing an email using voice-to-text. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. GPS: the invisible cost of convenience B. Stress: the main cause of brain damage C. Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience D. Smartphones: barriers to human progress 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中人们对数字技术的过度依赖及其带来的负面影响，强调了适度不适的重要性，并提出了通过“微量困难”（microdosing hardship）来增强个人适应力和韧性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare（噩梦）. But it should not be exactly far-fetched.(想象一下，有一天早上醒来，发现你的智能手机不见了。你再也不能用它导航去上班，点咖啡，或者和朋友联系了。对我们大多数人来说，这是一场噩梦。但这并不_____)”可知，这里的语境是假设智能手机突然消失的情景虽然令人不安，但它不应该是不能被接受的。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills.(这一切都是因为我们越来越依赖社交媒体和智能技术，这些技术旨在提供快速的解脱，但往往以牺牲深刻而有意义的参与为代价，这可能会进一步导致我们失去一些容易被忽视的东西。虽然这些便利提供了短期的解脱，但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”可知，数字便利可能导致思考能力的下降。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand.(把它想象成“微量困难”——一系列小的、可以管理的困难，这些困难能让我们的心理和情绪肌肉保持强壮，比如用笔写字，或者用手洗碗)”可知，采取“微量困难”的实际行动是做一些小的、可以管理的困难的事情，A选项“爬楼梯而不是乘电梯”符合“微量困难”的含义。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious.(尽管我们比以往任何时候都更加数字化地联系在一起，但我们却更加孤独和焦虑)”、第三段中“While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills.(虽然这些便利提供了短期的解脱，但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”以及第四段中“That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us.(这就是问题所在：我们避免的不适往往正是让我们变得坚强的东西)”可知，文章主要讲述了现代生活中人们过于依赖智能手机和各种智能技术，造成了一些不良后果，如焦虑、抑郁、思维能力下降等。作者认为，我们应该适当减少对这些便利的依赖，通过面对一些“微小的不便”来增强自己的抗逆力，C选项“不适感：韧性的隐藏来源”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 D Marine communities traveled to Antarctica during the Earth’s warmest phase in 66 million years, long before a major extinction occurred. Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs. The study implies that plankton (浮游生物) relocated to cooler places to escape the tropical (热带的) heat, leaving only the most highly specialized species to survive. These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions. Dr Adam Woodhouse from the University of Bristol’s School of Earth Sciences, explained: “Considering three billion people live in the tropics, this is not great news. Biodiversity among marine plankton groups has changed in the last 66 million years, but no one had explored it on a global, spatial scale through the lens of a single database.” “We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.” Adam added. The fossil record of marine plankton is the most complete and extensive document of ancient biological changes available to science. By applying advanced computational analyses to this document, researchers detailed global community structure of the oceans since the death of the dinosaurs, revealing that community change often precedes the extinction of organisms. The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera (有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models. 32. What is the major finding of the study? A. Tropical plankton adapted to extreme heat. B. Marine life responds earlier than expected. C. Fossil records predict future climate change. D. Warming causes immediate biodiversity loss. 33. What do we know from paragraph 3? A. Fossil fuel use must be stopped immediately. B. Ocean shipping traffic need stricter regulation. C. Gene editing of plankton makes for their heat tolerance. D. Monitoring marine community structure should be enhanced. 34. What role did the Triton dataset play in the research? A. Predict future climate models. B. Track species’ extinction timelines. C. Compare tropical and polar ecosystems. D. Reveal spatial responses to global warmth. 35. What will the research team investigate next? A. Causes of tropical extinctions. B. Forms of the Ice age community. C. Samples of other groups and models. D. Adaptation strategies of human beings. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，6600万年前地球最热时期，海洋生物群落迁徙至南极。这表明群落结构变化先于生物灭绝，故需加强监测海洋群落结构以预测未来灭绝，团队还将研究更多浮游生物群。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs.(最近，一组研究人员对生物多样性和全球生物群落结构进行了比较研究，他们发现，生物群落往往会比生物多样性丧失发生早数百万年就对气候变化做出反应)”可知，这项研究的主要发现是海洋生物的反应时间比预期的要早。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions.(这些发现表明，群落规模的变化会在物种灭绝之前很久就显现出来，并且应当投入更多精力去监测海洋群落的结构，以期能够预测未来的海洋物种灭绝情况)”可知，应当加强对海洋生物群落结构的监测。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.(我们利用我在博士期间创建的Triton数据集，为如何从空间角度观察生物多样性对全球气候变化的响应提供了新的见解，尤其是在与未来全球变暖预测相关的全球温暖时期)”可知，Triton数据集揭示了全球变暖对空间环境的影响。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera (有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models.(该团队计划将类似的策略应用于其他海洋浮游生物群落。此次研究仅考察了浮游有孔虫类；然而，还有众多其他微化石类群在海洋食物网中发挥着关键作用，有待进一步研究。他们还必须利用历史和当前的模式，结合新的气候模型来预测未来的群落结构)”可知，研究团队接下来将要探究其他群体和模型的样本。故选C。 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。 As a leadership consultant for many years, I’ve found many of the leaders I work with report feeling frustrated (沮丧的) as they face the continuous change and uncertainty in the growing challenges of their roles. ____36____ Throughout their careers, leaders are conditioned to come up with the final, correct answer. Given that human's brains are hardwired to see uncertainty as a risk or threat, it’s physiologically normal to feel stress when faced with unfamiliar situations. Sadly, in the world of leadership training, we often celebrate qualities like decisiveness, innovation, and resilience (抗逆力). ____37____ Without it, even the most talented leaders struggle to sustain their success.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。 2.续写线索：上传新视频（介绍视频内容）→视频引发热烈反响（网友评论、分享）→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚（拥抱、对话）→两人共同设计椅子（描述设计过程）→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入，工作室重焕生机 。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find ②放置：place/put ③拥抱：embrace/hug ④开始：begin/start 情绪类 赞扬：praise/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.

And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 21. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 22. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 23. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. B My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember. Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives. So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort. Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures. 24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para.1? A. Advantage B. Annoyance C. Preference. D. Strength. 25. How did the author behave about public speaking after leaving Toastmasters? A. He began to feel less worried. B. He became a polished speaker. C. He remained a shy speaker. D. Things became worse for him. 26. What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day? A. It was a good chance to learn science. B. He must rise up to defend his profession. C. It was a project organized by Toastmasters. D. He couldn’t have people attacking science. 27. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech? A. Passion can motive us to achieve the unachievable. B. No difficulty can be overcome with great effort. C. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes. D. Frustration can be stepping stones to success. C Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare（噩梦）. But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can enhance adaptability. Neuroscience（神经科学） reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience, （抗逆力）, a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it's worth it. 28. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Possible to change. B. Certain to function. C. Unlikely to be settled. D. Unable to be accepted. 29. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text? A. The fast but worthless relief. B. The meaningful engagement. C. The loss of thinking capacity. D. The lack of necessary comfort. 30. Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”? A. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B. Ordering take-out food after work. C. Exploring a new city by using GPS. D. Writing an email using voice-to-text. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. GPS: the invisible cost of convenience B. Stress: the main cause of brain damage C. Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience D. Smartphones: barriers to human progress D Marine communities traveled to Antarctica during the Earth’s warmest phase in 66 million years, long before a major extinction occurred. Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs. The study implies that plankton (浮游生物) relocated to cooler places to escape the tropical (热带的) heat, leaving only the most highly specialized species to survive. These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions. Dr Adam Woodhouse from the University of Bristol’s School of Earth Sciences, explained: “Considering three billion people live in the tropics, this is not great news. Biodiversity among marine plankton groups has changed in the last 66 million years, but no one had explored it on a global, spatial scale through the lens of a single database.” “We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.” Adam added. The fossil record of marine plankton is the most complete and extensive document of ancient biological changes available to science. By applying advanced computational analyses to this document, researchers detailed global community structure of the oceans since the death of the dinosaurs, revealing that community change often precedes the extinction of organisms. The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera (有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models. 32. What is the major finding of the study? A. Tropical plankton adapted to extreme heat. B. Marine life responds earlier than expected. C. Fossil records predict future climate change. D. Warming causes immediate biodiversity loss. 33. What do we know from paragraph 3? A. Fossil fuel use must be stopped immediately. B. Ocean shipping traffic need stricter regulation. C. Gene editing of plankton makes for their heat tolerance. D. Monitoring marine community structure should be enhanced. 34. What role did the Triton dataset play in the research? A. Predict future climate models. B. Track species’ extinction timelines. C. Compare tropical and polar ecosystems. D. Reveal spatial responses to global warmth. 35. What will the research team investigate next? A. Causes of tropical extinctions. B. Forms of the Ice age community. C. Samples of other groups and models. D. Adaptation strategies of human beings. 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。 As a leadership consultant for many years, I’ve found many of the leaders I work with report feeling frustrated (沮丧的) as they face the continuous change and uncertainty in the growing challenges of their roles. ____36____ Throughout their careers, leaders are conditioned to come up with the final, correct answer.
