第二部分 阅读 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题:每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)
A
The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons
The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — Batteries
Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — Electricity
Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogen fuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammonia
Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%.
22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships.
23. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable.
B
“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude.
25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection.
C
Most people assume aging equals continuous physical and mental decline, and the best the elderly can do is to slow down such unavoidable loss. However, a recent scientific study proves that aging can also bring health improvements, and personal attitude plays a decisive role in this process.
Researchers tracked over 11,000 seniors for 12 years, evaluating their cognitive ability and walking speed, two key indicators of aging conditions. Contrary to traditional beliefs, nearly half of the participants showed positive health changes. Over 30 percent achieved better cognitive performance, and around 28 percent improved physically. Even healthy seniors with no previous illness displayed obvious progress, proving the elderly have untapped potential for self-improvement.
The research team also found that conventional medical assessment systems are flawed. They only record decline or unchanged conditions, completely ignoring elderly people’s health progress. As a result, millions of aging people with improving health have long been overlooked by public health statistics.
The most significant finding is the power of “positive age beliefs”. Seniors who hold an optimistic attitude toward aging are more likely to maintain healthy habits and active social lives. Statistically, positive attitudes can extend people’s lifespan by 7.5 years on average. In contrast, those who firmly believe aging means constant weakness tend to give up self-management, accelerating physical decline.
The study offers a new perspective for medical treatment and public education. Doctors should not regard aging decline as inevitable. Changing the stereotyped view of aging helps the elderly explore their potential and enjoy a higher-quality later life.
28. What do traditional medical assessments fail to do?
A. Track seniors’ daily living habits
B. Notice elderly people’s health progress
C. Record patients’ chronic diseases
D. Evaluate seniors’ cognitive ability
29. What can be inferred about optimistic seniors?
A. They seldom suffer from physical diseases.
B. They are more willing to keep healthy lifestyles.
C. They never experience mental decline.
D. They depend little on social communication.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the new finding?
A. Doubtful B. Negative C. Objective D. Uncertain
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Inevitable Physical Decline of the Elderly
B. Positive Attitudes Reshape Aging Quality
C. Flaws in Modern Medical Assessment Systems
D. How to Extend the Elderly’s Lifespan
D
“Shhh!” This is the demand that eco-acoustics(生态声学) researcher J érôme Sueur makes of humanity. The noises of technology spread across even the remotest corners of the planet. Sueur explores the impact of the ever-present sound on the animal world in Natural History of Silence.
Between travelogue-style chapters and philosophical reflections, the book covers many key terms and theories, such as the acoustic niche hypothesis(声学生态位假说), which assumes that each species has its own acoustic space to improve communication with its own kind and limit sound competition from other species. Sueur's point is this: silence is a crucial resource, like food or water, which species compete for to survive. “Making sound is important,” he writes. But humans need to “make sure we are not more alive than others”.
When the COVID-19 pandemic (流行 病 ) unexpectedly put human activities on hold, noise-monitoring organizations in France recorded a 60-75% drop in sound levels in many cities. Globally, wildlife communication changed during lockdowns. Fish and dolphins off the coast of New Zealand extended the range of their calls by 65% owing to a sharp reduction in boat travel. However, when humans emerged from their homes, so did all human-generated sounds and their harmful effects on natural systems, Sueur writes.
Sueur calls for a greater awareness of the need to preserve zones where noise is not welcome, effectively proposing a global network of silent shelters for wildlife. The book, thus, highlights an imaginary dividing line between humanity and nature – an approach to conservation that has thwarted contemporary environmentalists who believe true conservation success comes from building a harmonious bond with nature. Some even argue against it in public and attempt to seek more all-around solutions that involve local and indigenous(本土) communities.
To encourage readers to act, the book could have included stories about successful no-fly zones where communities are working to address the problem. But the focus on solutions is narrow. Instead, his winding and wordy writing often carries a tone of anger, which could drive away the people he wants to silence.
32. What does the acoustic niche hypothesis assume?
A. Species use sounds to communicate.
B. Each species has a unique sound range.
C. Species compete for sound resources.
D. Making sound is the key to survival.
33. Why are fish and dolphins mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To show the destruction caused by the pandemic.
B. To stress the role of animals in the local ecosystem.
C. To illustrate the impact of human activities on wildlife.
D. To compare responses of different animals to lockdowns.
34. What does the underlined word “thwarted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Enlightened. B. Transformed. C. Misled. D. Discouraged.
35. What can we learn about the book from the last paragraph?
A. It is written in an objective tone. B. It serves its writing purpose well.
C. It fails to relate to certain readers. D. It conveys rather shallow ideas.

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。
Johnny, a 17-year-old from Whitehorse, had been competing in Cross-Country Skiing for five years. For many young athletes like him in Whitehorse, Yukon, the Yukon Cross-Country Ski Championships were more than just a competition. It was their dream. A year ago, Johnny qualified for the Championships and successfully won a medal.
After the competition, Johnny was eager to share his experience with Hayden, his teammate and best friend. Hayden had narrowly missed qualifying for the Championships. Johnny had watched his friend train tirelessly, push himself to the limit, and always keep his big smile. Johnny knew how much the Championships meant to Hayden.
Johnny handed Hayden some colorful pins. “These are pins I traded with athletes from all over Yukon,” Johnny said with a smile, “I want you to have them, so you can feel a part of the event too.”
Hayden was touched, “Thanks, Johnny. This means a lot.”
“Next time,” Johnny continued, “I hope you can also experience the event. I know you' ll make it.”
Hayden nodded, “I’ ll work even harder for that.”
This year's Yukon Cross-Country Ski Championships would be held in a month. Coach Nick guided the team through daily tough training and the team made significant progress in their skating, cornering, and downhill techniques. Meanwhile, they enhanced their endurance and balance. BothJohnny and Hayden met the Championship standards. Given Johnny's rich competitive experience, Coach Nick once again qualified Johnny for this year's event and Hayden was selected as an alternate(替补).
The qualification for the competition excited Johnny, but there was always an idea staying in his mind. Johnny knew his friend had been wanting to go to the Championships for several years. This was the last chance for both of them to attend the Championships, as they would age out of the competition after this year. The thought became clear in his mind, strong and steady.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Johnny went to see the coach.
Hayden accepted the precious chance to compete in the Championships.

Dear Chris,
I’m excited to hear about the spring outing next Saturday. Here are my suggestions for your reference.
I suggest we go hiking in the nearby Green Hill Park and have a picnic there. In the morning, we can follow the mountain trails to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful wildflowers. At noon, we can gather on the grassy lawn to share homemade food and play team games like frisbee or kite flying. The reasons are as follows. First, hiking is a great way to relax and keep fit after heavy schoolwork. Second, the picnic offers a perfect chance for us to chat and bond outside the classroom, which will strengthen our class spirit. Besides, the park is only 30 minutes away by bus, so it’s safe and convenient for everyone.
I hope my ideas are helpful. Looking forward to your decision!
Yours,
Li Hua

The next day, Johnny went to see the coach. With a determined look, he told Coach Nick that he wanted to give up his spot to Hayden. The coach frowned in surprise, reminding Johnny that this was his last chance to compete and that he had earned his place fairly. But Johnny smiled calmly and said, “Coach, I’ve already experienced the thrill of the Championships last year. Hayden has never had that chance. He’s worked just as hard as me, if not harder. This is his last opportunity too, and I believe he can make our team proud.” He added that seeing Hayden on the starting line would mean more to him than winning another medal. After a long pause, the coach nodded, deeply moved by Johnny’s selflessness. He agreed to talk to the organizing committee about the substitution.
Hayden accepted the precious chance to compete in the Championships. Tears welled up in his eyes when Johnny broke the news. He hugged his friend tightly, unable to say a word at first. “I won’t let you down, Johnny,” he finally whispered. Over the next few weeks, Hayden trained with even greater intensity, remembering every piece of advice Johnny had given him. On race day, wearing the team uniform, he skied with all his heart, crossing the finish line to a round of applause. Though he didn’t win a medal, he finished among the top ten, beaming with pride. After the race, he handed his participant pin to Johnny. “This is for both of us,” he said. Their friendship, built on trust and sacrifice, had already won the greatest prize of all.
