B
One evening in California, while helping my daughter, Julianna, prepare for a yard sale, I stepped carelessly between the wooden boards and felt the floor give way beneath me. I had grown used to that sinking feeling ever since losing my wife, Amy, to cancer in 2024-the sight of an old cup could suddenly make my world fall apart. But this time, I was falling for real. Julianna shouted, “Daddy, get out now!” After a hard struggle, I finally pulled myself out.
As I walked downstairs, I thought about how differently Amy would have dealt with things. She had always been the family’s guide — calm and dependable — while I was careless and always depended on her to keep my life in order. After she was gone, I tried to become a focused solo parent, yet I kept making mistakes. I forgot rubbish night until it attracted huge wild animals; I burned carrots until smoke filled the kitchen; I even let our WiFi get disconnected, and Julianna asked, “You’re pretty bad at this, aren’t you?”
Her words made me think. That was when I began to understand that bravery — the kind Amy had always shown — was not about avoiding mistakes, but about facing them when it mattered most.
The morning after I fell, I discovered that someone had covered Julianna’s yard sale signs with red tape (胶带). Without thinking twice, I walked down the street and caught a young man who told me he did it for “friendly competition”, but this time I stood my ground. To my surprise, people nearby gathered and spoke ill of him. When I told Julianna what happened, she laughed and said, “Now you’re getting embarrassing.” But I didn’t mind. For the first time, I understood that bravery did not belong only to my wife — It had been inside me all along. This has been the hardest year of my life, but I am learning that laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this together.

25. What does the father learn from his wife?
A. Avoiding making any mistakes in daily life. B. Braving challenges when they appear.
C. Depending on others when raising children. D. Keeping life orderly as his wife did.
26. How did the father deal with the man who damaged his daughter’s signs?
A. By removing the red tape by himself. B. By asking neighbors for help.
C. By taking a clear stand against the man. D. By debating heatedly with the man.
27. What message does the story mainly convey?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Difficulties make a man wise. D. Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了一位父亲在妻子因癌症去世后独自抚养女儿,生活中频繁犯错、陷入挣扎,但逐渐从妻子身上领悟到真正的勇敢是面对困难而非避免错误,最终发现勇气一直存在于自己内心的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After she was gone, I tried to become a focused solo parent, yet I kept making mistakes. I forgot rubbish night until it attracted huge wild animals; I burned carrots until smoke filled the kitchen; I even let our WiFi get disconnected, and Julianna asked, “You’re pretty bad at this, aren’t you?” (她离开后,我努力想做一名用心尽责的单亲家长,可状况不断、屡屡出错。我总忘了夜间扔垃圾,结果引来了大批野生动物;煮胡萝卜时把菜烧糊,厨房里浓烟弥漫;就连家里的无线网络都被我弄断了。朱莉安娜见状问道:“你实在不太擅长打理这些事,对吧?”)”可知,妻子去世后父亲的生活充满错误和困难,处于挣扎状态。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“That was when I began to understand that bravery — the kind Amy had always shown — was not about avoiding mistakes, but about facing them when it mattered most. (就在那时,我开始明白,那种像艾米那样展现出的勇敢,并非是逃避错误,而是在最关键的时刻勇敢地面对错误。)”可知,这位父亲从妻子身上学到的是在挑战出现时勇敢面对。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据四段“The morning after I fell, I discovered that someone had covered Julianna’s yard sale signs with red tape (胶带). Without thinking twice, I walked down the street and caught a young man who told me he did it for “friendly competition”, but this time I stood my ground. (我摔倒后的第二天,我发现有人用红色胶带把朱莉安娜的旧货售卖告示牌给遮住了。我毫不犹豫地沿着街道走去,拦住了一个年轻人,他告诉我这是出于“友好竞争”的目的,但这一次我坚决不让步。)”可知,这位父亲明确反对了损坏标牌的男子。

C
When French writer Cedric Duroux topped an Icelandic mountain in 2018, he first thought it was breathtakingly beautiful — until one of the guides gently told him that everything around him used to be a glacier (冰川). This was when he truly realized how serious climate change was.
In recent years, more tourists have started seeking similar experiences by visiting landscapes that may soon disappear because of climate change. Known as last-chance tourism, this “see-it-before-it’s-gone” practice is contentious (有争议的): research suggests that the fuel (燃料) needed to travel to these places may actually speed up their disappearance, while supporters say that, done responsibly, it can inspire travelers to protect these places.
The negative impacts of overtourism on fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems are well documented. As the seas warm and gas-powered boats bring more people to the Great Barrier Reef, the area has experienced its worst coral bleaching (珊瑚白化). As more tourists travel to Antarctica every year, they risk introducing harmful species that threaten its ecosystem.
Still, last-chance tourism isn’t likely to go away. Robin Craig, an environmental protection professor, argues that guides and park managers should turn travelers’ emotions — from wonder to sadness — into action to help preserve these sites, yet they are not prepared. So right now, much of the responsibility still falls on the tourists themselves. Craig suggests that travelers consider three things: Are they traveling in an environmentally friendly way? Are their activities harming the place they visit? And what protective actions will they take once back home?
In Antarctica, for example, guide Ashley Perrin recommends that travelers look for tour operators that limit landing sites based on wildlife activity. During the trip, travelers can further support protection by contributing to scientific research — tracking clouds and weather, gathering data on bird migrations (迁徙) and mapping waste in the landscape. Perrin says that people won’t protect what they don’t know. “We need people to go and see these environments in order to fall in love with them — in order to protect them.”
28. What made Cedric Duroux deeply aware of severe climate change?
A. Some research results about global glacier melting.
B. The breathtaking scenery of an Icelandic mountain.
C. A guide’s warning about dangerous mountain climbing.
D. The disappearing glacier around the mountain he climbed.
29. Why are the Great Barrier Reef and Antarctica mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate their attraction. B. To compare their ecosystems.
C. To show the damage of mass tourism. D. To stress the impact of climate change.
30. Which of the following is suggested to help preserve the sites like Antarctica?
A. Aiding with data collection. B. Limiting the tourist number.
C. Funding scientific research. D. Closing the sites to tourists.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Last-Chance Tourism: Now or Never
B. Climate Change: Reshapes Final Frontier
C. Climate Change: A Challenge for Tourism
D. Last-Chance Tourism: From Seeing to Saving
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了“最后机会旅游”这一现象,阐述了这类旅游存在的争议——前往即将因气候变化消失的景点的出行行为本身可能加速景点消亡,但合理开展这类旅游也能唤起游客的保护意识,同时给出了游客在这类旅行中可以践行的保护措施。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When French writer Cedric Duroux topped an Icelandic mountain in 2018, he first thought it was breathtakingly beautiful — until one of the guides gently told him that everything around him used to be a glacier. This was when he truly realized how serious climate change was. (2018年,法国作家塞德里克・杜鲁登上冰岛一座山峰时,起初只觉得景色美得令人窒息,直到一位向导轻声告诉他,他四周曾经全部都是冰川。就在这一刻,他真正意识到气候变化有多严峻。)” 可知,是他所攀登的山峰周围正在消失的冰川让他深刻意识到了严重的气候变化。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The negative impacts of overtourism on fragile ecosystems are well documented. As the seas warm and gas-powered boats bring more people to the Great Barrier Reef, the area has experienced its worst coral bleaching. As more tourists travel to Antarctica every year, they risk introducing harmful species that threaten its ecosystem. (过度旅游给脆弱生态系统带来的负面影响已有大量记载。随着海洋升温,燃油船只运送大量游客前往大堡礁,这片区域遭遇了史上最严重的珊瑚白化现象。每年前往南极洲的游客不断增多,外来有害物种随之被带入,威胁当地生态系统。)”可知,提及大堡礁和南极是为了说明大规模旅游对脆弱生态的破坏。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“During the trip, travelers can further support protection by contributing to scientific research — tracking clouds and weather, gathering data on bird migrations and mapping waste in the landscape. (旅途之中,游客还可以助力保护工作,参与科研项目:观测云层与天气、收集鸟类迁徙数据、实地标记区域垃圾。)”可知,协助收集数据是被建议的、有助于保护南极这类景点的行为。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第二段“In recent years, more tourists have started seeking similar experiences by visiting landscapes that may soon disappear because of climate change. Known as last-chance tourism, this ‘see-it-before-it’s-gone’ practice is contentious: research suggests that the fuel needed to travel to these places may actually speed up their disappearance, while supporters say that, done responsibly, it can inspire travelers to protect these places. (近些年来,越来越多游客想要体验相似的见闻,前去游览那些可能因气候变化很快消失的景观。这被称作‘最后机会旅游’,这种‘趁消失前一睹风貌’的旅行方式颇具争议:研究表明,奔赴这些目的地途中消耗的燃料实际上会加速景观消亡;而支持者认为,如果方式得当,这类旅行能够促使游客主动守护这些地方。)”可知,文章围绕“最后机会旅游”展开,既提到了这类旅游的争议,也指出这类旅游可以通过合理引导,让游客从“观赏即将消失的景观”转变为主动采取行动保护景观,D选项“Last-Chance Tourism: From Seeing to Saving (最后机会旅游:从观赏到守护)”精准贴合全文核心内容,适合用作文章标题。
D
The science of why insects gather around lights at night has never been nailed down. Popular theories propose that moths and other insects navigate (导航) by the moon and mistake lamps for moonlight, or that the insects fly towards light to escape coming danger. Now researchers believe they have a more persuasive answer: contrary to current theories, insects are not attracted to light from far away, but become trapped if they fly close to an artificial (人造的) light source.
According to Dr Sam Fabian, study co-author and Imperial College London entomologist, moths and many other insects that fly at night evolved to tilt (倾斜) their backs to wherever is brightest. For hundreds of millions of years, this was the sky rather than the ground. The trick told insects which way was up and ensured they flew level. But then came artificial lighting. Moths found themselves tilting their backs to street lamps. This caused them to circle around the lamps endlessly, the insects trapped by their evolution.
Fabian and his colleagues filmed insect flight paths around lights in the lab. The videos reveal that time and again, moths and dragonflies turned their backs to artificial lights, which appeared to greatly change their flight paths. If the light is above them, they might start circling it, but if it’s behind them, they start tilting backwards and end up flying in circles or diving toward the ground.
Researchers have long warned that light pollution is a big driving force in the dramatic decline in insect populations. Moths and other insects that become trapped around lamps become easily caught by bats. The artificial lighting can also fool them into thinking it is daytime, causing them to bed down and skip a night’s feeding.
There are, Fabian believes, helpful lessons from the research. “What this tells us is that the direction of artificial light matters. Could we change lighting environments to not trap insects? For we’re facing a massive decline in insects around the world, and artificial light at night is one of the factors that could potentially be leading to this decline,” Fabian said.
32. What do the underlined words “nailed down” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Popularized widely. B. Discussed openly.
C. Defined accurately. D. Explored academically.
33. Fabian’s study found that moths circle around the lamps endlessly because ________.
A. they can’t keep their balance B. they use improper flight attitude
C. they lose track of which way is up D. they are attracted to lights from far away
34. What is the significance of the research finding?
A. It may lead to better protection of insects.
B. Natural enemies of insects will be got rid of.
C. Artificial lighting will be greatly reduced at night.
D. It may raise concerns for insects’ eating behavior.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why insects lose their ability to fly at night.
B. Why insects get trapped by artificial light.
C. How artificial light impacts insect populations.
D. How insects evolved distinct strategies of flight.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了过往关于夜间昆虫聚集在灯光周围的原因没有定论,一项新研究提出了更具说服力的解释,阐明了昆虫会被人造光困住的原理,同时指出该研究对缓解昆虫数量下降、保护昆虫的积极意义。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“The science of why insects gather around lights at night has never been nailed down. Popular theories propose that moths and other insects navigate (导航) by the moon and mistake lamps for moonlight, or that the insects fly towards light to escape coming danger. Now researchers believe they have a more persuasive answer: contrary to current theories, insects are not attracted to light from far away, but become trapped if they fly close to an artificial (人造的) light source. (昆虫夜间聚集在灯光周围的科学原理从未被nailed down。主流理论提出飞蛾和其他昆虫借助月亮导航,会把灯错当成月光,或是昆虫飞向光亮处来躲避即将到来的危险。现在研究人员认为他们有了更具说服力的答案:与现有理论相反,昆虫并不会从远处被光线吸引,只是当它们飞近人造光源后,就会陷入困境。)”可推知,现在研究人员提出了更具说服力的答案,说明此前关于该现象的原理从未被准确界定,nailed down的含义是“准确界定”,对应Defined accurately。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“According to Dr Sam Fabian, study co-author and Imperial College London entomologist, moths and many other insects that fly at night evolved to tilt (倾斜) their backs to wherever is brightest. For hundreds of millions of years, this was the sky rather than the ground. The trick told insects which way was up and ensured they flew level. But then came artificial lighting. Moths found themselves tilting their backs to street lamps. This caused them to circle around the lamps endlessly, the insects trapped by their evolution. (帝国理工学院昆虫学家、该研究合著者萨姆・费比安博士解释,飞蛾和许多其他在夜间飞行的昆虫进化成向最亮的地方倾斜背部。数亿年来,这是天空,而不是地面。这个技巧告诉昆虫哪个是上位,并确保它们水平飞行。但后来出现了人工照明。飞蛾发现自己把背朝向路灯。这导致它们无休止地绕着灯转,这些昆虫被它们的进化困住了。)”可知,研究发现,飞蛾在灯周围无休止地盘旋是因为它们不知道哪条路是向上的。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There are, Fabian believes, helpful lessons from the research. ‘What this tells us is that the direction of artificial light matters. Could we change lighting environments to not trap insects? For we’re facing a massive decline in insects around the world, and artificial light at night is one of the factors that could potentially be leading to this decline,’ Fabian said. (费比安认为这项研究有一些有益的教训。‘这项研究说明,人造光源的照射方向至关重要。我们能否改造照明环境,不再困住昆虫?全球昆虫数量正大幅锐减,夜间人造光正是造成这种减少的潜在因素之一。’费比安说道。)”可推知,该研究成果能指导人们优化照明环境,从而更好地保护昆虫。
【35题详解】

【36题详解】
根据本空前的“Flextime is a flexible hours schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government.”可知,弹性工作时间是一种灵活的工作时间安排,员工可以选择自己的工作时间,在雇主和政府规定的大致时间范围内工作,此处承接上文,讲的是这种工作制的应用情况,故E项(世界各地的许多雇主都在为他们的员工提供这种方法)符合语境。
【37题详解】
根据本空后的“For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks.”可知,人们可以利用弹性工作时间来制定时间表,这样他们就可以去上学、照顾孩子、帮助亲戚以及完成其他的任务,故G项(它允许人们改变他们的工作时间表,使之适应他们的生活)符合语境。
【38题详解】
根据本段中的“First, it tends to increase employees’ satisfaction.”及“In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a great portion of the day”可知,本段介绍了弹性工作时间对雇主的两个好处——提高员工的满意度以及能让公司在一天的大部分时间里都为客户服务,故A项(雇主从弹性工作制中受益良多)符合语境。
【39题详解】
根据本空前的“Most flextime schedules include core time.”可知,大多数弹性工作时间包括核心时间,此处承接上文,讲的还是关于核心时间的内容,故D项(这是一天中每个人都应该工作的时间段)符合语境。
【40题详解】
根据本空前的“Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office.”可知,弹性工作时间也可以与弹性工作地点相结合,此处举例说明弹性工作地点,故F项(例如,家庭办公室在许多公司中越来越受欢迎)符合语境。

One evening in California, while helping my daughter, Julianna, prepare for a yard sale, I stepped carelessly between the wooden boards and felt the floor give way beneath me. I had grown used to that sinking feeling ever since losing my wife, Amy, to cancer in 2024-the sight of an old cup could suddenly make my world fall apart. But this time, I was falling for real. Julianna shouted, “Daddy, get out now!” After a hard struggle, I finally pulled myself out.
As I walked downstairs, I thought about how differently Amy would have dealt with things. She had always been the family’s guide — calm and dependable — while I was careless and always depended on her to keep my life in order. After she was gone, I tried to become a focused solo parent, yet I kept making mistakes. I forgot rubbish night until it attracted huge wild animals; I burned carrots until smoke filled the kitchen; I even let our WiFi get disconnected, and Julianna asked, “You’re pretty bad at this, aren’t you?”
Her words made me think. That was when I began to understand that bravery — the kind Amy had always shown — was not about avoiding mistakes, but about facing them when it mattered most.
The morning after I fell, I discovered that someone had covered Julianna’s yard sale signs with red tape (胶带). Without thinking twice, I walked down the street and caught a young man who told me he did it for “friendly competition”, but this time I stood my ground. To my surprise, people nearby gathered and spoke ill of him. When I told Julianna what happened, she laughed and said, “Now you’re getting embarrassing.” But I didn’t mind. For the first time, I understood that bravery did not belong only to my wife — It had been inside me all along. This has been the hardest year of my life, but I am learning that laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this together.

When French writer Cedric Duroux topped an Icelandic mountain in 2018, he first thought it was breathtakingly beautiful — until one of the guides gently told him that everything around him used to be a glacier (冰川). This was when he truly realized how serious climate change was.
In recent years, more tourists have started seeking similar experiences by visiting landscapes that may soon disappear because of climate change. Known as last-chance tourism, this “see-it-before-it’s-gone” practice is contentious (有争议的): research suggests that the fuel (燃料) needed to travel to these places may actually speed up their disappearance, while supporters say that, done responsibly, it can inspire travelers to protect these places.
The negative impacts of overtourism on fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems are well documented. As the seas warm and gas-powered boats bring more people to the Great Barrier Reef, the area has experienced its worst coral bleaching (珊瑚白化). As more tourists travel to Antarctica every year, they risk introducing harmful species that threaten its ecosystem.
Still, last-chance tourism isn’t likely to go away. Robin Craig, an environmental protection professor, argues that guides and park managers should turn travelers’ emotions — from wonder to sadness — into action to help preserve these sites, yet they are not prepared. So right now, much of the responsibility still falls on the tourists themselves. Craig suggests that travelers consider three things: Are they traveling in an environmentally friendly way? Are their activities harming the place they visit? And what protective actions will they take once back home?
In Antarctica, for example, guide Ashley Perrin recommends that travelers look for tour operators that limit landing sites based on wildlife activity. During the trip, travelers can further support protection by contributing to scientific research — tracking clouds and weather, gathering data on bird migrations (迁徙) and mapping waste in the landscape. Perrin says that people won’t protect what they don’t know. “We need people to go and see these environments in order to fall in love with them — in order to protect them.”
28. What made Cedric Duroux deeply aware of severe climate change?
A. Some research results about global glacier melting.
B. The breathtaking scenery of an Icelandic mountain.
C. A guide’s warning about dangerous mountain climbing.
D. The disappearing glacier around the mountain he climbed.
29. Why are the Great Barrier Reef and Antarctica mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate their attraction. B. To compare their ecosystems.
C. To show the damage of mass tourism. D. To stress the impact of climate change.
30. Which of the following is suggested to help preserve the sites like Antarctica?
A. Aiding with data collection. B. Limiting the tourist number.
C. Funding scientific research. D. Closing the sites to tourists.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Last-Chance Tourism: Now or Never
B. Climate Change: Reshapes Final Frontier
C. Climate Change: A Challenge for Tourism
D. Last-Chance Tourism: From Seeing to Saving
D
The science of why insects gather around lights at night has never been nailed down. Popular theories propose that moths and other insects navigate (导航) by the moon and mistake lamps for moonlight, or that the insects fly towards light to escape coming danger. Now researchers believe they have a more persuasive answer: contrary to current theories, insects are not attracted to light from far away, but become trapped if they fly close to an artificial (人造的) light source.
According to Dr Sam Fabian, study co-author and Imperial College London entomologist, moths and many other insects that fly at night evolved to tilt (倾斜) their backs to wherever is brightest. For hundreds of millions of years, this was the sky rather than the ground. The trick told insects which way was up and ensured they flew level. But then came artificial lighting. Moths found themselves tilting their backs to street lamps. This caused them to circle around the lamps endlessly, the insects trapped by their evolution.
Fabian and his colleagues filmed insect flight paths around lights in the lab. The videos reveal that time and again, moths and dragonflies turned their backs to artificial lights, which appeared to greatly change their flight paths. If the light is above them, they might start circling it, but if it’s behind them, they start tilting backwards and end up flying in circles or diving toward the ground.
Researchers have long warned that light pollution is a big driving force in the dramatic decline in insect populations. Moths and other insects that become trapped around lamps become easily caught by bats. The artificial lighting can also fool them into thinking it is daytime, causing them to bed down and skip a night’s feeding.
There are, Fabian believes, helpful lessons from the research. “What this tells us is that the direction of artificial light matters. Could we change lighting environments to not trap insects? For we’re facing a massive decline in insects around the world, and artificial light at night is one of the factors that could potentially be leading to this decline,” Fabian said.
32. What do the underlined words “nailed down” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Popularized widely. B. Discussed openly.
C. Defined accurately. D. Explored academically.
33. Fabian’s study found that moths circle around the lamps endlessly because ________.
A. they can’t keep their balance B. they use improper flight attitude
C. they lose track of which way is up D. they are attracted to lights from far away
34. What is the significance of the research finding?
A. It may lead to better protection of insects.
B. Natural enemies of insects will be got rid of.
C. Artificial lighting will be greatly reduced at night.
D. It may raise concerns for insects’ eating behavior.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why insects lose their ability to fly at night.
B. Why insects get trapped by artificial light.
C. How artificial light impacts insect populations.
D. How insects evolved distinct strategies of flight.
