That’s why self-control is very important. The good news is that you can learn it. There is some useful advice. Let’s take a look! Know the bigger picture Before starting your work, think about why you want to do it. This helps you focus on your long-term goals. Besides, you should ask yourself how to do it. It can make you think about the steps you need to take to reach the goals. Make plans and check them People with self-control usually follow routines(常规). It’s also good to write down what you did each day. This helps you see how well your plan works. If the plan doesn’t work well, you may need to make some small changes. Think positive Self-control doesn’t mean being perfect! If you don’t follow your plan today, don’t feel sad. You can try again by saying, “Today I studied 10 minutes longer than yesterday!” In this way, you can build confidence. 1. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To find out what takes a teenager’s attention away. B. To explain why self-control is so important. C. To share good news about teenagers’ lives. D. To show teenagers how to learn self-control. 2. What’s the “bigger picture” for a teenager? A. A long-term goal. B. The first step. C. A working diary. D. The self-confidence. 3. What will people with self-control do if they fail to follow their plans? A. Find the reasons. B. Change the steps. C. Make new plans. D. Think positive. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，向青少年介绍自控力能够通过学习获得，并给出三条培养自控力的可行建议：着眼长期目标、制定并复盘计划、保持积极心态。 【1题详解】 文章开篇提出自控力可以习得，随后给出三条实用建议，目的是向青少年介绍学会自控的方法。 【2题详解】 根据原文第一条建议“Think about why you want to do it. This helps you focus on your long-term goals.” 可知“the bigger picture”指长期目标，对应long-term goal。 【3题详解】 第三条建议“Think positive”提到，没能完成计划时不要难过，要积极看待、再次尝试，也就是保持积极心态。 B What do you do for good luck? People all over the world have their own special and wonderful ways to draw in good luck and keep away from bad luck. In Italy, when people find themselves in an unlucky situation, they use the gesture (手势) of the “horns (角)” to avoid any further bad luck. This gesture is usually made with the little and index fingers (食指) pointing downward. However, you must be careful with the direction. When the gesture is pointing upward, the meaning becomes completely different. It can be very rude and upsetting. The Danish have a very old tradition of breaking dishes at the doorsteps of family, friends, and neighbors on New Year’s Eve. In the days before December 31st, people buy old dishes and save them for the celebration. As the clock strikes midnight, people run around hurling (用力掷) dishes at someone’s front door. But today, as throwing whole plates can be dangerous and leave quite a mess, more people choose to pre-break their plates and put the pieces at the doorsteps of family, friends, and neighbors. The bigger the pile (堆) you end up with, the more luck you will have in the upcoming year! Will you think it lucky when a bird drops a “surprise” on you while you’re out walking? In many parts of the world, people think so! For example, Russians believe that a single droplet (滴) means money is on the way. And in Turkish culture, getting hit by bird droppings means something positive is about to happen. These beliefs show how a nuisance can change into a positive symbol across different areas and traditions. So next time a bird chooses you — maybe it’s not so bad after all! Of course, there are more fun customs in the world. Let’s explore them together to improve our cultural knowledge. 4. Why should people avoid pointing the “horns” upward in Italy? A. It causes physical harm to others. B. It means something bad to others. C. It is only used during specific festivals. D. It is considered disrespectful to animals. 5. Why do some Danish people pre-break plates nowadays? A. It’s required by law. B. It’s a new tradition. C. It’s safer and less messy. D. It’s a way to save money. 6. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A little trouble. B. A good luck sign. C. A cultural tradition. D. A dangerous event. 7. What can we learn about the customs from the passage? A. Europeans have the same customs about luck. B. Customs about luck can be very different. C. Old customs are always changed for safety. D. Keeping traditions alive is getting harder. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了意大利、丹麦和俄罗斯、土耳其等国家关于带来好运的有趣习俗。 【4题详解】 第二段提到“When the gesture is pointing upward, the meaning becomes completely different. It can be very rude and upsetting.”，直接说明指向上方时含义变为粗鲁和令人不悦，即对他人有不好的意味。 【5题详解】 第三段提到“as throwing whole plates can be dangerous and leave quite a mess, more people choose to pre-break their plates”，直接说明选择提前打碎是因为危险且会弄脏。 【6题详解】 第四段讨论鸟粪落在身上，这在多数人看来是件“麻烦事”，但某些文化视为好运，结合上下文“how a nuisance can change into a positive symbol”，可知nuisance意为“小麻烦”。 【7题详解】 全文列举了意大利、丹麦、俄罗斯/土耳其等不同国家的幸运习俗，每个都不同，因此可推出“关于幸运的习俗差异很大”。 C Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, has found a creative way to make resting chairs—without any wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is carefully made up of 500 old tennis balls, making them not only eye-catching but surprisingly strong enough to support adults. Big tennis events around the world use a large number of balls, like the U.S. Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000. Yet a tennis ball’s life is short, lasting only about nine games. Each year, around 300 million tennis balls are produced and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). Worse still, they take over 400 years to decompose because their rubber and felt materials don’t break down easily. Wittock hopes her work can help protect the environment. To make her chairs, Wittock receives most of her materials from local tennis clubs, which are happy to give away used balls. Creating one chair takes her three to four weeks of careful work. To make each piece special, she cuts and paints the tennis balls by hand, matching colors to her customers’ rooms. This process requires lots of patience, but the result is a chair that’s both comfortable to sit on and a conversation starter. For Wittock, though, creating the chair is just the first step. What matters most to her is to make sure the chair has a “second life” when it’s no longer used. She takes old chairs apart and recycles every tennis ball: the fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the rubber is cut into small pieces to make bouncy mats (弹性垫) for kids’ playgrounds. In this way, nothing goes to waste. 8. What’s special about Mathilde Wittock’s resting chairs? A. They are made of wood and plastic. B. They are made of used tennis balls. C. People can only buy them in Belgium. D. They are too beautiful to be seated on. 9. What does the underlined word “decompose” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. To become chairs. B. To wash away the landfills. C. To grow from land. D. To divide into smaller parts. 10. What is true about Mathilde Wittock making chairs? A. She doesn’t have enough balls. B. She makes chairs for tennis clubs. C. She makes chairs all by hand. D. She meets customers’ different needs. 11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to keep on cutting down waste. B. How to make tennis balls into mats. C. How to improve the design of chairs. D. How to take tennis balls apart quickly. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍比利时设计师Mathilde Wittock利用废旧网球制作休闲座椅。文中介绍废旧网球数量巨大、难以降解，会造成环境问题；设计师从本地网球俱乐部获取废旧网球，手工切割、喷涂上色来制作椅子；并且椅子报废后，网球还能全部拆解二次加工，实现资源循环利用，践行环保理念。 【8题详解】 根据原文第一段“Instead, each of her chairs is carefully made up of 500 old tennis balls”，这款座椅的特别之处是由废旧网球制作而成。 【9题详解】 根据原文第二段“they take over 400 years to decompose because their rubber and felt materials don’t break down easily”，橡胶和毛毡难以分解，由此推断decompose指分解、碎裂成细小碎片。 【10题详解】 根据原文第三段“To make each piece special, she cuts and paints the tennis balls by hand”，维托克全程手工制作椅子。 【11题详解】 最后一段讲述旧座椅拆解后，网球的绒毛、橡胶都会被二次利用，全程没有废弃物，核心是介绍如何持续减少垃圾浪费。 D Did you ever wish you could show your dreams to your friends or family? Now you might be able to, with a new device (设备) that uses AI to create videos from spoken words. The Dream Recorder, created by the Dutch design studio Modem, is a bedside device on which you can record your dreams and play them back as short videos. The idea is that as soon as you wake up, you push a record button on the Dream Recorder and speak into it—in any language—describing what you remember of your dream. AI technology will then interpret your spoken dream and create a short video according to it in a visual style (视觉风格) of your choice. You can then play back this video on the Dream Recorder’s screen. The creators of the Dream Recorder say these videos can be used to help you think about the meaning of your dreams and how they might affect your waking life. However, you can’t keep these dream videos forever, because the Dream Recorder only has enough memory (存储量) for seven days of dreams. That should be long enough to see if there are any repeated themes in your dreams, while keeping your mind on the present. The Dream Recorder is also an open-source (开放源代码的) DIY device that you can build yourself. All the code and the details you need to build it are available to download for free online. All you need to do is buy or 3D print the parts you need to make it. 12. Why was the Dream Recorder created? A. To replace traditional alarm clocks. B. To turn people’s dreams into videos. C. To help people sleep without dreaming D. To allow people to easily share dreams online. 13. What does the underlined word “interpret” probably mean? A. fix B. forget C. match D. understand 14. Why was the device designed to keep dreams for seven days? A. To encourage users to focus on the present. B. To prevent the device from breaking down. C. To protect the users’ personal information. D. To make the device cost as little as possible. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The company will send free parts to users. B. Anyone can build this device if they want to. C. It won’t be easy to buy the device in the future. D. Users need professional skills to create the device. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了由荷兰设计工作室Modem创造的梦境记录器，它能通过AI将口头描述的梦境转化为短视频。 【12题详解】 第一段提到“uses AI to create videos from spoken words”，第二段提到“you can record your dreams and play them back as short videos”，将两处信息整合，可知该设备旨在将人们的梦境转化为视频。 【13题详解】 第三段“AI technology will then interpret your spoken dream and create a short video according to it”，结合语境，AI需先“理解”你描述的梦境才能生成视频；因此，划线单词“interpret”意为“understand”。 【14题详解】 第三段最后一句“...only has enough memory for seven days of dreams. That should be long enough to see if there are any repeated themes in your dreams, while keeping your mind on the present.”直接说明设计七天存储是为了让用户关注当下。 【15题详解】 最后一段提到“The Dream Recorder is also an open-source DIY device that you can build yourself. All the code and the details you need to build it are available to download for free online.”，由此可推断任何人都可以自行组装该设备。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 We live in a world full of choices. Perhaps everyone has experienced FOBO. It’s short for “Fear Of Better Options (选择)”. You might wonder, “____16____” But the problem is that when you can’t make decisions firmly you waste valuable time and energy. ____17____ Before that, you first need to know that in life you only face three types of decisions: no-stakes (无风险的), low-stakes and high-stakes. No-stakes decisions are about those small choices that won’t cause any bad results (like picking a TV show). ____18____ Low-stakes decisions are about those small choices with acceptable results (like booking (预订) a hotel), but these results won’t change your life. High-stakes decisions are about those very important choices (like buying a house or choosing a job). ____19____ So before you make a choice, think about which type your decision belongs to. Make sure you learn facts about all of the options: ____20____ Then set your standards accordingly, and you can be confident that you’re truly making a smart decision. A. So, they aren’t worth overthinking. B. Luckily, there are some ways to deal with FOBO. C. Isn’t it a good thing to have so many options to choose from? D. In this way, you can put your energy onto what really matters. E. You need to know that when you give up an option, it’s gone forever. F. They will have big, long-term results and can greatly influence your future. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了FOBO这种现象，讲解了生活中的三种决策类型，并给出了应对FOBO、做出明智决定的方法。 【16题详解】 空前“You might wonder”表明此处应填入一个问句，再结合空后“But the problem is…”表示转折，说明空处应是一个看似积极但实则引出问题的想法。C选项“Isn’t it a good thing to have so many options to choose from?”符合语境，与后文形成转折关系。 【17题详解】 后句提到“Before that, you first need to know that in life you only face three types…”，说明前面需先引出解决方法。B选项“Luckily, there are some ways to deal with FOBO.”承上启下，引出下文的具体步骤，且后文“Before that”指代的就是这些方法。 【18题详解】 空前提到“No-stakes decisions”的特点是“won’t cause any bad results”。既然是无风险的小选择，结论自然是不值得过度思考。A选项“So, they aren’t worth overthinking.”符合逻辑，是对前文的总结。 【19题详解】 空前介绍“High-stakes decisions”，例子是买房或选工作，属于非常重要的选择。F选项“They will have big, long-term results and can greatly influence your future.”准确描述了高风险决定的后果，与前文“very important choices”呼应。 【20题详解】 空前提到“Make sure you learn facts about all of the options”，空后提到“set your standards accordingly…”。D选项“In this way, you can put your energy onto what really matters.”是对了解事实这一步骤效果的总结，说明了这样做的好处，并能顺畅衔接后文的设定标准，共同促成明智的决定。 第二部分 语言知识应用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I have loved writing since I was a child.

At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests of the size of an area for playing tennis are appearing. They are becoming great places for both wildlife and local people to get close to nature. This is the Tiny Forests movement. It hopes to show that the best things in life really come in small actions. Tiny Forests first appeared as an idea in the 1970s by Dr Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist (植物学家). As he went on to share the idea with others, it soon took off in many places in India and other Asian countries before finally reaching Europe, where it became popular. So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins with areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest influence. The movement focuses on cities where getting close to nature is not very easy. “We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature,” says Hartley In a Tiny Forest, there must be at least 600 trees, and trees are planted much closer together and without chemical fertilizers (化学肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of trees from the local area. This can help make sure that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than other forests. It’s thought that Tiny Forest could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon (碳) from the air and fight climate change. It is even said to be useful in improving the health of the local people. Now more and more countries are considering becoming part of the movement, which means more tiny forests will appear soon. 41. Where can people usually see tiny forests? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. What’s the main purpose of the Tiny Forests movement? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Why does the Tiny Forests movement focus on cities? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 44. How can people make sure tiny forests grow faster? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. List four advantages of tiny forests. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on unloved pieces of land. 42. To show that the best things in life really come in small actions, and break the growing disconnect between people and nature. 43. Because getting close to nature is not very easy in cities. 44. By planting trees closer together, without chemical fertilizers and using local trees. 45. Reduce flooding, remove carbon, fight climate change and improve health. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“小森林”运动的起源、运作方式、种植特点及其带来的环境和社会益处。 【41题详解】 根据第一段中“At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities... tiny forests... are appearing.”可知，人们通常可以在路边、学校操场后面以及城镇中各种不受喜爱的土地上看到微型森林。答案为原文具体地点信息，直接提取。 【42题详解】 根据第一段最后一句“It hopes to show that the best things in life really come in small actions.”以及第二段“We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature”可知，微型森林运动的主要目的是展示生活中最美好的事物往往源于微小的行动并消除人与自然之间日益加深的隔阂。整合得出其核心目的。 【43题详解】 根据第二段中“The movement focuses on cities where getting close to nature is not very easy.” 以及“We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature”可知，该运动关注城市是因为在城市里人们很难亲近自然，且人们与自然日益疏离。答案为原文具体原因信息，直接提取。 【44题详解】 根据第三段中“In a Tiny Forest, there must be at least 600 trees, and trees are planted much closer together and without chemical fertilizers. There are usually around 30 different kinds of trees from the local area.”可知，通过密植树木、不使用化肥以及选用本土树种可保证微型森林生长更快，答案为原文具体措施信息，直接提取。 【45题详解】 根据第四段中“It’s thought that Tiny Forest could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon from the air and fight climate change. It is even said to be useful in improving the health of the local people.” 可知，微型森林的四个好处分别是：减少洪水风险、去除空气中的碳、对抗气候变化以及改善当地人的健康。答案为原文具体益处信息，直接提取。 第二节 写作（满分20分） 46. 日前学校英语报社进行了题为“有压力向谁说”的问卷调查（结果如图），请你根据要求写一篇英语短文参加该报的征文活动。 内容包括： 1. 简要描述调查结果； 2. 你认为青少年应该向谁倾诉压力？为什么？ 3. 提出2条缓解压力的建议。 要求： 1. 文章必须包括所给要点，但不要逐条翻译，可进行适当拓展； 2. 书写规范，100词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 文中不得出现真实校名、人名。 When teens are stressed, they will talk about their stress to different people. Here are the results about our survey. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When teens are stressed, they will talk about their stress to different people. Here are the results about our survey. As shown in the chart, 40% of the students choose to talk to their friends. 35% of them share their worries with teachers. 15% of the students talk to their parents, and 10% of them don’t talk to anyone.

That’s why self-control is very important. The good news is that you can learn it. There is some useful advice. Let’s take a look! Know the bigger picture Before starting your work, think about why you want to do it. This helps you focus on your long-term goals. Besides, you should ask yourself how to do it. It can make you think about the steps you need to take to reach the goals. Make plans and check them People with self-control usually follow routines(常规). It’s also good to write down what you did each day. This helps you see how well your plan works. If the plan doesn’t work well, you may need to make some small changes. Think positive Self-control doesn’t mean being perfect! If you don’t follow your plan today, don’t feel sad. You can try again by saying, “Today I studied 10 minutes longer than yesterday!” In this way, you can build confidence. 1. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To find out what takes a teenager’s attention away. B. To explain why self-control is so important. C. To share good news about teenagers’ lives. D. To show teenagers how to learn self-control. 2. What’s the “bigger picture” for a teenager? A. A long-term goal. B. The first step. C. A working diary. D. The self-confidence. 3. What will people with self-control do if they fail to follow their plans? A. Find the reasons. B. Change the steps. C. Make new plans. D. Think positive. B What do you do for good luck? People all over the world have their own special and wonderful ways to draw in good luck and keep away from bad luck. In Italy, when people find themselves in an unlucky situation, they use the gesture (手势) of the “horns (角)” to avoid any further bad luck. This gesture is usually made with the little and index fingers (食指) pointing downward. However, you must be careful with the direction. When the gesture is pointing upward, the meaning becomes completely different. It can be very rude and upsetting. The Danish have a very old tradition of breaking dishes at the doorsteps of family, friends, and neighbors on New Year’s Eve. In the days before December 31st, people buy old dishes and save them for the celebration. As the clock strikes midnight, people run around hurling (用力掷) dishes at someone’s front door. But today, as throwing whole plates can be dangerous and leave quite a mess, more people choose to pre-break their plates and put the pieces at the doorsteps of family, friends, and neighbors. The bigger the pile (堆) you end up with, the more luck you will have in the upcoming year! Will you think it lucky when a bird drops a “surprise” on you while you’re out walking? In many parts of the world, people think so! For example, Russians believe that a single droplet (滴) means money is on the way. And in Turkish culture, getting hit by bird droppings means something positive is about to happen. These beliefs show how a nuisance can change into a positive symbol across different areas and traditions. So next time a bird chooses you — maybe it’s not so bad after all! Of course, there are more fun customs in the world. Let’s explore them together to improve our cultural knowledge. 4. Why should people avoid pointing the “horns” upward in Italy? A. It causes physical harm to others. B. It means something bad to others. C. It is only used during specific festivals. D. It is considered disrespectful to animals. 5. Why do some Danish people pre-break plates nowadays? A. It’s required by law. B. It’s a new tradition. C. It’s safer and less messy. D. It’s a way to save money. 6. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A little trouble. B. A good luck sign. C. A cultural tradition. D. A dangerous event. 7. What can we learn about the customs from the passage? A. Europeans have the same customs about luck. B. Customs about luck can be very different. C. Old customs are always changed for safety. D. Keeping traditions alive is getting harder. C Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, has found a creative way to make resting chairs—without any wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is carefully made up of 500 old tennis balls, making them not only eye-catching but surprisingly strong enough to support adults. Big tennis events around the world use a large number of balls, like the U.S. Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000. Yet a tennis ball’s life is short, lasting only about nine games. Each year, around 300 million tennis balls are produced and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). Worse still, they take over 400 years to decompose because their rubber and felt materials don’t break down easily. Wittock hopes her work can help protect the environment. To make her chairs, Wittock receives most of her materials from local tennis clubs, which are happy to give away used balls. Creating one chair takes her three to four weeks of careful work. To make each piece special, she cuts and paints the tennis balls by hand, matching colors to her customers’ rooms. This process requires lots of patience, but the result is a chair that’s both comfortable to sit on and a conversation starter. For Wittock, though, creating the chair is just the first step. What matters most to her is to make sure the chair has a “second life” when it’s no longer used. She takes old chairs apart and recycles every tennis ball: the fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the rubber is cut into small pieces to make bouncy mats (弹性垫) for kids’ playgrounds. In this way, nothing goes to waste. 8. What’s special about Mathilde Wittock’s resting chairs? A. They are made of wood and plastic. B. They are made of used tennis balls. C. People can only buy them in Belgium. D. They are too beautiful to be seated on. 9. What does the underlined word “decompose” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. To become chairs. B. To wash away the landfills. C. To grow from land. D. To divide into smaller parts. 10. What is true about Mathilde Wittock making chairs? A. She doesn’t have enough balls. B. She makes chairs for tennis clubs. C. She makes chairs all by hand. D. She meets customers’ different needs. 11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to keep on cutting down waste. B. How to make tennis balls into mats. C. How to improve the design of chairs. D. How to take tennis balls apart quickly. D Did you ever wish you could show your dreams to your friends or family? Now you might be able to, with a new device (设备) that uses AI to create videos from spoken words. The Dream Recorder, created by the Dutch design studio Modem, is a bedside device on which you can record your dreams and play them back as short videos. The idea is that as soon as you wake up, you push a record button on the Dream Recorder and speak into it—in any language—describing what you remember of your dream. AI technology will then interpret your spoken dream and create a short video according to it in a visual style (视觉风格) of your choice. You can then play back this video on the Dream Recorder’s screen. The creators of the Dream Recorder say these videos can be used to help you think about the meaning of your dreams and how they might affect your waking life. However, you can’t keep these dream videos forever, because the Dream Recorder only has enough memory (存储量) for seven days of dreams. That should be long enough to see if there are any repeated themes in your dreams, while keeping your mind on the present. The Dream Recorder is also an open-source (开放源代码的) DIY device that you can build yourself. All the code and the details you need to build it are available to download for free online. All you need to do is buy or 3D print the parts you need to make it. 12. Why was the Dream Recorder created? A. To replace traditional alarm clocks. B. To turn people’s dreams into videos. C. To help people sleep without dreaming D. To allow people to easily share dreams online. 13. What does the underlined word “interpret” probably mean? A. fix B. forget C. match D. understand 14. Why was the device designed to keep dreams for seven days? A. To encourage users to focus on the present. B. To prevent the device from breaking down. C. To protect the users’ personal information. D. To make the device cost as little as possible. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The company will send free parts to users. B. Anyone can build this device if they want to. C. It won’t be easy to buy the device in the future. D. Users need professional skills to create the device. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 We live in a world full of choices. Perhaps everyone has experienced FOBO.

At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests of the size of an area for playing tennis are appearing. They are becoming great places for both wildlife and local people to get close to nature. This is the Tiny Forests movement. It hopes to show that the best things in life really come in small actions. Tiny Forests first appeared as an idea in the 1970s by Dr Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist (植物学家). As he went on to share the idea with others, it soon took off in many places in India and other Asian countries before finally reaching Europe, where it became popular. So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins with areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest influence. The movement focuses on cities where getting close to nature is not very easy. “We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature,” says Hartley In a Tiny Forest, there must be at least 600 trees, and trees are planted much closer together and without chemical fertilizers (化学肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of trees from the local area. This can help make sure that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than other forests. It’s thought that Tiny Forest could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon (碳) from the air and fight climate change. It is even said to be useful in improving the health of the local people. Now more and more countries are considering becoming part of the movement, which means more tiny forests will appear soon. 41. Where can people usually see tiny forests? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. What’s the main purpose of the Tiny Forests movement? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43.
