In the 2022‒2024 season, U.S. beekeepers reported an astonishing decline of their colonies, which was driven by poor nutrition and pesticides. Dr. Ramsey, a scientific expert, believes bees need a new “narrative” — a fresh story that helps the world understand their importance. Through creative methods like songs and documentaries, he aims to “reboot” public understanding of these important pollinators (传粉者).
Interestingly, Ramsey’s passion for insects started with a deep fear. As a child, he was so afraid of them that he refused to play in the grass. His fear even affected his sleep and he would require his father to “hunt” imaginary monsters (怪兽) in his room before he could finally close his eyes.
His parents eventually intervened with a life-changing principle: People fear what they don’t understand. They encouraged him to learn about bugs through books. This was a turning point. His fear quickly turned into fascination, and by age seven, he declared his dream of becoming an insect scientist. He realized that insects were not monsters but fascinating creatures with complex lives.
As he grew, Ramsey’s curiosity shifted toward how different species interact. Today, he is crazy about honey bee parasites, which are small organisms that live on bees and harm them. His work is so influential that he received the Wayfinder Award in 2025 for leading a new age of exploration in this field.
Ramsey’s journey from a terrified child to a leading explorer shows the power of knowledge. “I have a different way of looking at the world that causes me to ask different questions,” he says. By changing how we see bees, Ramsey is not just saving an insect; he is protecting the future of our ecosystem.
24.Why does Ramsey use creative media in his work?
A.To display his talents. B.To track bees’ colony losses.
C.To record bees’ behavior. D.To reshape bees’ public image.
25.What can we know about Ramsey from paragraph 2?
A.He enjoyed playing in the grass. B.He was consumed by fear of insects.
C.He was brave enough to hunt insects. D.He had a strong curiosity about nature.
26.What made Ramsey crazy about insects?
A.His parents’ intervention. B.Insects’ complex lives.
C.Knowledge of insects. D.His dream of being a scientist.
27.What is the best title for the text?
A.Journey to Overcome Fear B.Bees: from Dying Out to Surviving
C.Bee Colonies: from Loss to Recovery D.Transformation from Hater into Protector
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.C 27.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了拉姆齐幼时惧怕昆虫,在父母引导下学习昆虫知识后爱上昆虫,成长为蜜蜂研究专家;他借助多种创意形式扭转大众对蜜蜂的看法,投身蜜蜂保护事业,诠释了知识能够消除恐惧、守护生态的道理。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Dr. Ramsey, a scientific expert, believes bees need a new “narrative” — a fresh story that helps the world understand their importance. Through creative methods like songs and documentaries, he aims to “reboot” public understanding of these important pollinators.(拉姆齐博士是一名科研专家,他认为蜜蜂需要一套全新的‘叙事视角’——也就是一个能让全世界知晓其重要性的全新解读。他借助歌曲、纪录片这类富有创意的形式,力求重塑公众对这些关键传粉昆虫的认知。)”可知,拉姆齐借助各类创意形式是为了重塑蜜蜂的公众形象,让大众以全新视角理解蜜蜂的重要性。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As a child, he was so afraid of them that he refused to play in the grass. His fear even affected his sleep and he would require his father to “hunt” imaginary monsters in his room before he could finally close his eyes.(孩童时期,他十分害怕昆虫,以至于不肯去草地上玩耍。这份恐惧甚至影响到了他的睡眠,每晚他都要让父亲先去房间里驱赶想象中的怪物,才肯闭上眼睛睡觉。)”可知,童年时期的拉姆齐深受对昆虫的恐惧困扰,这份恐惧甚至影响了他的日常活动和睡眠。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段“His parents eventually intervened with a life-changing principle: People fear what they don’t understand. They encouraged him to learn about bugs through books. This was a turning point. His fear quickly turned into fascination, and by age seven, he declared his dream of becoming an insect scientist. He realized that insects were not monsters but fascinating creatures with complex lives.(他的父母最终用一句改变他一生的道理开导他:人们会惧怕自己不了解的事物。父母鼓励他通过书籍去了解昆虫。这成了他人生的转折点。他心中的恐惧很快变成了痴迷,七岁时,他就说出自己的梦想是成为一名昆虫科学家。他意识到昆虫并不是怪物,而是有着复杂生命、极具吸引力的生物。)”可知,学习昆虫相关知识让拉姆齐发生了转变,从恐惧者变成了痴迷于昆虫研究的科学家。
27.主旨大意题。最后一段中的“Ramsey’s journey from a terrified child to a leading explorer shows the power of knowledge.(拉姆齐从一个惶恐的孩子成长为顶尖探索家的经历,彰显了知识的力量。)”是本文主旨句。文章以拉姆齐的个人经历为主线,讲述了他从童年极度恐惧昆虫,到了解昆虫知识后转变为昆虫科学家,并致力于保护蜜蜂、改变公众认知的过程。全文展现了他从“惧怕者”到“保护者”的蜕变,凸显了知识改变认知并推动生态保护的力量。选项D与文章主旨相吻合,适合作为本文最佳标题。
C
A visit to a supermarket offers various fresh produce, from vegetables to berries and fruits. Shoppers can easily pick strawberries or apples. For farmers, however, the choice is far harder. They must decide what to grow while worrying about water supply and whether they can make money — or even break even.
Farming is full of uncertainties, according to mathematician Estelle Basor. Farmers face unpredictable weather, harmful pests, and the economic rule of supply and demand. For instance, overplanting strawberries can lower prices, leaving farmers unable to cover growing costs.
Basor grew up in California’s Pajaro Valley, a key agricultural region. As a mathematician, she led a team to help farmers choose crops and save water. California supplies 80 percent of America’s fresh strawberries, but frequent drought and over-pumping have severely lowered underground water levels. Farmers pump water faster than rain can refill it, forcing them to consider less thirsty crops.
The team collected data on water use, prices and market demand. Using computer programs, they found the best crop mix: maximum profit with minimal water. This method, called mathematical optimization, was tested on a 100-acre farm. Results showed raspberries, needing less water, were more profitable than strawberries. They cooperate with local growers to gather real data on crop sales. Such field information improves their model so it balances water use and market need for fruits grown in Pajaro Valley.
The model has received positive feedback from local farmers. It aims to help farmers nationwide deal with water shortages. Thanks to Basor’s efforts, science is offering a practical way for farmers to balance water use and income.
28.What does the underlined phrase “break even” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Win great fame. B.Avoid losing money.
C.Keep crop quality. D.Increase crop sales.
29.What challenge do California farmers face?
A.Fierce foreign market competition.
B.Declining customers’ demand.
C.Insufficient water supply for crops.
D.Shallow underground water.
30.How did the team help local farmers?
A.By monitoring rainfall conditions.
B.By offering advice on choosing crops.
C.By raising crop prices for farmers.
D.By teaching daily water-saving skills.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.New method for strawberry planting.
B.Drought’s impact on local agriculture.
C.Balancing water and profit with math.
D.Approaches to raising farmers’ income.
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.B 31.C
【导语】主要介绍数学家团队利用数学优化模型,帮助加州农户兼顾节水需求与种植收益,科学解决农业种植难题。
【详解】28.词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“They must decide what to grow while worrying about water supply and whether they can make money — or even break even.(农民必须决定种植作物,同时担忧供水问题,以及能否盈利、甚至能否break even。)”可知,前文提及农民种地需要考虑赚钱,结合递进关系可推知,break even比盈利要求更低,指收支相抵、不亏不赚,也就是避免亏损。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“California supplies 80 percent of America’s fresh strawberries, but frequent drought and over-pumping have severely lowered underground water levels. Farmers pump water faster than rain can refill it, forcing them to consider less thirsty crops.(加利福尼亚供应美国百分之八十的新鲜草莓,但频繁干旱和过度抽水已经严重降低了地下水位。农民抽水的速度比雨水能够补充它的速度更快,迫使他们去考虑需水量更少的作物。)”可知,加州农民面临农作物种植供水不足的难题。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As a mathematician, she led a team to help farmers choose crops and save water.(作为一名数学家,她带领团队帮助农民选择合适作物、节约水资源。)”可知,该团队通过数据分析,为农户提供选种方面的专业建议,助力节水增收。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“Using computer programs, they found the best crop mix: maximum profit with minimal water. This method, called mathematical optimization, was tested on a 100-acre farm.(团队借助计算机程序,找到了最优作物搭配方案,实现用水最少、收益最高,这套方法被称作数学优化法,并在百亩农场完成测试。)”可知,文章主要讲述数学家利用数学优化方法,帮助农民平衡农业用水消耗与种植收益,解决农业种植的不确定性难题。

For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.
Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.
“We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.”
The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative.
Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.
Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms.
Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.”
32.What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1?
A.It offers methods to cut farming costs.
B.It reflects expectations plus real challenges.
C.It shows the popularity of vertical farming.
D.It proves vertical farming improves food output.
33.What’s the strength of hydroponic systems?
A.It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption.
B.It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible.
C.It can be operated without soil and weather limits.
D.It allows farmers to expand food production easily.
34.Which of the following do critics probably agree on?
A.Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration.
B.Using new technology needs lower construction costs.
C.Improving traditional farming needs little public support.
D.Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming?
A.Objective and reasonable. B.Skeptical and opposed.
C.Doubtful and pessimistic. D.Supportive and confident.
【答案】32.B 33.C 34.A 35.A
【导语】本文主要介绍垂直农业,阐述其发展优势、现存争议与发展局限,指出垂直农业并非要取代传统农业,而是作为补充完善粮食供给体系。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.(多年来,垂直农业一直被推崇为农业的未来——一种在气候控制的仓库中种植大量粮食的方法,相较于传统农业大幅节水省地。但该行业面临着持续的挑战:高昂的能源成本、技术故障,同时人们也质疑它除了绿叶蔬菜外能否种植其他作物。)”可知,本段既阐述了人们对垂直农业的高度期待(未来农业、高效节水节地),也指出了其面临的现实挑战(高成本、技术故障、作物单一)。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.(这类农场采用水培系统,直接将养分输送至植物根部,无需土壤,且不受天气制约,可全年不间断生产。)”可知,水培系统的核心优势在于摆脱了对土壤的依赖,同时不受季节与天气限制。
34.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.(但质疑之声依旧存在。批评者指出,LED照明与气候控制系统会消耗巨量电力。一座垂直农场的耗电量堪比一座小镇,若能源并非来自可再生能源,其碳足迹会超过传统农业。除此之外,技术造价高昂——单座农场的建设成本可超1亿美元。)”可知,批评者认为垂直农业能耗高、建设成本昂贵,存在明显短板,由此可推断他们会认同发展垂直农业需要谨慎考量。
35.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation.(环保优势十分突出。相比传统农业,垂直农业最多可节约95%的水资源,还能省去长途运输产生的碳排放。)”、第五段中的“Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.(但质疑之声依旧存在。批评者指出,LED照明与气候控制系统会消耗巨量电力。一座垂直农场的耗电量堪比一座小镇,若能源并非来自可再生能源,其碳足迹会超过传统农业。除此之外,技术造价高昂——单座农场的建设成本可超1亿美元。)”以及第七段中的“Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable.(尽管存在上述种种挑战,支持者认为垂直农业并非旨在取代传统农业,而是对其形成补充。在城市化程度不断加深、气候压力日益加剧的世界中,在城市内部拥有可靠新鲜农产品来源,可能是极有价值的。)”可知,文章既客观陈述垂直农业节水、低碳运输等优点,也如实呈现能耗高、造价高昂等争议点,完整呈现批评者与支持者双方不同看法,作者未偏向任意一方,既承认问题,也认可价值,由此可推断作者对垂直农业持客观理性的态度。

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。
Organic farming has attracted much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines and approaches to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 36 Furthermore, they also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run.
One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and enrich the soil. 37 The materials, made from rotted (腐烂的) plant and animal waste, add important nutrients (养分) to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.
38 For example, organic farms are homes to wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees, which is very important for plants to produce seeds (种子). In addition, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water.
Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is the lower production than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to promote growth, crops produce less, which makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification (认证) costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to accept. 39
However, organic farming's future looks promising. 40 Besides, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. Governments also support it by increasing research money and eco-friendly agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production.
A.These methods make sure food is healthy.
B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food.
C.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment.
D.These challenges limit its development, even as the demand rises.
E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits.
F.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.
G.Advances in techniques, like better soil management, increase crop production.

【导语】本文介绍有机农业的种植方式、多重生态与健康优势,分析产量低、认证难等现存短板,并说明技术、市场、政策让其发展前景广阔。
【详解】36.由上文“Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines and approaches to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals.(传统农业大量使用化肥农药,而有机农业遵循严格标准养护土壤、保护生物多样性、杜绝有害化学物质。)”以及下文“Furthermore, they also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run.(此外,从长远来看它们也有利于保护环境。)”可知,空格应说明有机农业的方式能保障食品安全。A项“These methods make sure food is healthy.(这些方式能保证食物健康。)”符合语境,其中These methods指代前文有机农业的各类规范,有承上作用。
37.由下文“The materials, made from rotted (腐烂的) plant and animal waste, add important nutrients (养分) to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.(这种由腐烂动植物废料制成的物质能为土壤补充养分,促进有益微生物生长。)”可知,The materials指代农场废弃物,空格引出改良土壤的另一天然手段。F项“Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.(有机农业中另一种改良土壤的天然物质是农田废弃物。)”符合语境,有启下作用。
38.由下文“For example, organic farms are homes to wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees, which is very important for plants to produce seeds (种子). In addition, organic methods reduce water pollution. (例如,有机农场是鸟类、昆虫、小型哺乳动物等野生动物的栖息地。不施用人工化学农药能够保护蜜蜂这类传粉昆虫,而这对植物结籽至关重要。此外,有机种植方式还能减少水污染。)”可知,本段介绍有机农业对生物多样性和环境的益处。C项“Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment.(有机农业也有益于生物多样性与生态环境。)”符合语境,总领下文举例内容,有承下作用。
39.由上文“Moreover, organic certification (认证) costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to accept.(而且有机认证成本高、耗时长,小农户难以承担。)”可知,空格总结这些难题制约有机农业发展。D项“These challenges limit its development, even as the demand rises.(即便市场需求上涨,这些难题仍制约其发展。)”符合语境,其中These challenges指代前文低产量、高价、认证困难等问题,有承上作用。
40.由上文“However, organic farming’s future looks promising.(但有机农业前景一片向好。)”以及下文“Besides, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast.(此外消费者对有机产品的认知与需求快速增长。)”可知,空格应介绍提升产量的技术突破,是前景向好的第一个原因。G项“Advances in techniques, like better soil management, increase crop production.(土壤优化等技术进步能够提高作物产量。)”符合语境,承上启下。

67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In Orchestra class, we had on Fridays something called Chair Challenge. You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first — then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won.
If you won, you switched (交换) places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello (大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert.
Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert. I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges — and win all five! And I only had six weeks to do it.
The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends. I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible.
But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn’t sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better.
The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, “Challenge successful — switch chairs.” I felt excited.
I didn’t dare tell anyone about my goal. I knew they’d tell me it was impossible.
The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years! Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult.
But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week — until it was the last Friday of December. I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed. “Well ...?” she said.注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Challenge!” I called out.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The class cheered and clapped.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Challenge!” I called out. Everyone laughed and cheered. The teacher pulled out two pieces of music. Patricia went first, being the challenged, and she played the passage beautifully. Only one little mistake. Then it was my turn. I was unfamiliar with this piece, but I’d been practicing, and my sight-reading had improved so much that I was confident I could do well. I took a deep breath and began. I played that passage so smoothly that it was like I’d been playing it all my life.
The class cheered and clapped. I was surprised. No one had ever clapped after a Chair Challenge. Even Patricia was clapping! The teacher had a smile as he nodded. “Challenge successful, switch. And, congratulations, First-Chair, First-Cello.” It turned out that the piece he had given us to play was the actual cello solo for the New Year Concert. I learned, from my personal experiences, that you can achieve what you set out to complete.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者为了实现新年音乐会独奏的梦想,坚持不懈地努力练习,期望在六周内成功挑战五次成为大提琴首席的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容““挑战!”我喊道。”可知,第一段可描写Patricia演奏之后,作者开始演奏,并演奏得很好。
②由第二段首句内容“全班同学欢呼鼓掌。”可知,第二段可描写作者成为大提琴首席,以及作者的感悟
2.续写线索:老师选择乐曲——Patricia演奏——作者演奏——大家鼓掌——作者成为大提琴首席——作者的感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①提高:improve/enhance
②深呼吸:take a deep breath/breathe deeply
③鼓掌:clap/applaud
情绪类
①笑:laugh/burst into laughter
②惊讶的:surprised/astonished
【点睛】【高分句型1】The teacher had a smile as he nodded. (运用了as引导时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】It turned out that the piece he had given us to play was the actual cello solo for the New Year Concert.(运用了it作形式主语,that引导从句作真正的主语,省略that引导的定语从句)

In the 2022‒2024 season, U.S. beekeepers reported an astonishing decline of their colonies, which was driven by poor nutrition and pesticides. Dr. Ramsey, a scientific expert, believes bees need a new “narrative” — a fresh story that helps the world understand their importance. Through creative methods like songs and documentaries, he aims to “reboot” public understanding of these important pollinators (传粉者).
Interestingly, Ramsey’s passion for insects started with a deep fear. As a child, he was so afraid of them that he refused to play in the grass. His fear even affected his sleep and he would require his father to “hunt” imaginary monsters (怪兽) in his room before he could finally close his eyes.
His parents eventually intervened with a life-changing principle: People fear what they don’t understand. They encouraged him to learn about bugs through books. This was a turning point. His fear quickly turned into fascination, and by age seven, he declared his dream of becoming an insect scientist. He realized that insects were not monsters but fascinating creatures with complex lives.
As he grew, Ramsey’s curiosity shifted toward how different species interact. Today, he is crazy about honey bee parasites, which are small organisms that live on bees and harm them. His work is so influential that he received the Wayfinder Award in 2025 for leading a new age of exploration in this field.
Ramsey’s journey from a terrified child to a leading explorer shows the power of knowledge. “I have a different way of looking at the world that causes me to ask different questions,” he says. By changing how we see bees, Ramsey is not just saving an insect; he is protecting the future of our ecosystem.
24.Why does Ramsey use creative media in his work?
A.To display his talents. B.To track bees’ colony losses.
C.To record bees’ behavior. D.To reshape bees’ public image.
25.What can we know about Ramsey from paragraph 2?
A.He enjoyed playing in the grass. B.He was consumed by fear of insects.
C.He was brave enough to hunt insects. D.He had a strong curiosity about nature.
26.What made Ramsey crazy about insects?
A.His parents’ intervention. B.Insects’ complex lives.
C.Knowledge of insects. D.His dream of being a scientist.
27.What is the best title for the text?
A.Journey to Overcome Fear B.Bees: from Dying Out to Surviving
C.Bee Colonies: from Loss to Recovery D.Transformation from Hater into Protector

A visit to a supermarket offers various fresh produce, from vegetables to berries and fruits. Shoppers can easily pick strawberries or apples. For farmers, however, the choice is far harder. They must decide what to grow while worrying about water supply and whether they can make money — or even break even.
Farming is full of uncertainties, according to mathematician Estelle Basor. Farmers face unpredictable weather, harmful pests, and the economic rule of supply and demand. For instance, overplanting strawberries can lower prices, leaving farmers unable to cover growing costs.
Basor grew up in California’s Pajaro Valley, a key agricultural region. As a mathematician, she led a team to help farmers choose crops and save water. California supplies 80 percent of America’s fresh strawberries, but frequent drought and over-pumping have severely lowered underground water levels. Farmers pump water faster than rain can refill it, forcing them to consider less thirsty crops.
The team collected data on water use, prices and market demand. Using computer programs, they found the best crop mix: maximum profit with minimal water. This method, called mathematical optimization, was tested on a 100-acre farm. Results showed raspberries, needing less water, were more profitable than strawberries. They cooperate with local growers to gather real data on crop sales. Such field information improves their model so it balances water use and market need for fruits grown in Pajaro Valley.
The model has received positive feedback from local farmers. It aims to help farmers nationwide deal with water shortages. Thanks to Basor’s efforts, science is offering a practical way for farmers to balance water use and income.
28.What does the underlined phrase “break even” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Win great fame. B.Avoid losing money.
C.Keep crop quality. D.Increase crop sales.
29.What challenge do California farmers face?
A.Fierce foreign market competition.
B.Declining customers’ demand.
C.Insufficient water supply for crops.
D.Shallow underground water.
30.How did the team help local farmers?
A.By monitoring rainfall conditions.
B.By offering advice on choosing crops.
C.By raising crop prices for farmers.
D.By teaching daily water-saving skills.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.New method for strawberry planting.
B.Drought’s impact on local agriculture.
C.Balancing water and profit with math.
D.Approaches to raising farmers’ income.

For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.
Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.
“We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.”
The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative.
Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.
Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms.
Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.”
32.What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1?
A.It offers methods to cut farming costs.
B.It reflects expectations plus real challenges.
C.It shows the popularity of vertical farming.
D.It proves vertical farming improves food output.
33.What’s the strength of hydroponic systems?
A.It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption.
B.It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible.
C.It can be operated without soil and weather limits.
D.It allows farmers to expand food production easily.
34.Which of the following do critics probably agree on?
A.Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration.
B.Using new technology needs lower construction costs.
C.Improving traditional farming needs little public support.
D.Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming?
A.Objective and reasonable. B.Skeptical and opposed.
C.Doubtful and pessimistic. D.Supportive and confident.
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。
Organic farming has attracted much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines and approaches to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 36 Furthermore, they also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run.
One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and enrich the soil. 37 The materials, made from rotted (腐烂的) plant and animal waste, add important nutrients (养分) to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.
38 For example, organic farms are homes to wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees, which is very important for plants to produce seeds (种子). In addition, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water.
Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is the lower production than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to promote growth, crops produce less, which makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification (认证) costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to accept. 39
However, organic farming's future looks promising. 40 Besides, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. Governments also support it by increasing research money and eco-friendly agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production.
A.These methods make sure food is healthy.
B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food.
C.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment.
D.These challenges limit its development, even as the demand rises.
E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits.
F.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.
G.Advances in techniques, like better soil management, increase crop production.

Jackie Faherty is a well-known astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and educator who devotes her life to researching mysterious objects in space. As a child, Faherty used to look up at the night sky and 41 . “Why are we here? What is this Earth?” Faherty 42 thought she could work in astronomy (天文学), for she thought it was a field 43 by men. Later, a movie featuring a female scientist 44 everything and set her on her astronomy career path.
Now Faherty works at the American Museum of Natural History, where she studies objects in space — 45 , brown dwarfs. Brown dwarf, which is neither a planet nor a star, doesn’t have enough energy to shine 46 . Her work, including more than 180 peer-reviewed articles in astrophysics journals, has helped people 47 more about brown dwarfs. “One of the brown dwarfs called the Accident is probably the 48 one we’ve ever found,” Faherty says, “It came together around the same time our universe (宇宙) was forming.” Faherty and her team are working to understand what the Accident is made of. “I can use that information to try to understand the ‘ 49 ’ of planets,” she says.
Faherty leads 50 programs at the museum, too. Visitors can attend her public talks. She shares the wonders of 51 with people of all ages, involving the public in exciting new discoveries in astronomy.
Through her 52 and teaching, Faherty is expanding our knowledge about space and 53 the next generation of scientists.

67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In Orchestra class, we had on Fridays something called Chair Challenge. You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first — then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won.
If you won, you switched (交换) places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello (大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert.
Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert. I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges — and win all five! And I only had six weeks to do it.
The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends. I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible.
But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn’t sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better.
The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, “Challenge successful — switch chairs.” I felt excited.
I didn’t dare tell anyone about my goal. I knew they’d tell me it was impossible.
The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years! Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult.
But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week — until it was the last Friday of December. I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed. “Well ...?” she said.注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Challenge!” I called out.

For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.
Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.
“We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.”
The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative.
Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.
Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms.
Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.”
32.What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1?
A.It offers methods to cut farming costs.
B.It reflects expectations plus real challenges.
C.It shows the popularity of vertical farming.
D.It proves vertical farming improves food output.
33.What’s the strength of hydroponic systems?
A.It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption.
B.It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible.
C.It can be operated without soil and weather limits.
D.It allows farmers to expand food production easily.
34.Which of the following do critics probably agree on?
A.Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration.
B.Using new technology needs lower construction costs.
C.Improving traditional farming needs little public support.
D.Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming?
A.Objective and reasonable. B.Skeptical and opposed.
C.Doubtful and pessimistic. D.Supportive and confident.

Organic farming has attracted much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines and approaches to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 36 Furthermore, they also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run.
One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and enrich the soil. 37 The materials, made from rotted (腐烂的) plant and animal waste, add important nutrients (养分) to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.
38 For example, organic farms are homes to wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees, which is very important for plants to produce seeds (种子). In addition, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water.
Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is the lower production than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to promote growth, crops produce less, which makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification (认证) costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to accept. 39
However, organic farming's future looks promising. 40 Besides, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. Governments also support it by increasing research money and eco-friendly agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production.
A.These methods make sure food is healthy.
B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food.
C.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment.
D.These challenges limit its development, even as the demand rises.
E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits.
F.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.
G.Advances in techniques, like better soil management, increase crop production.

Jackie Faherty is a well-known astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and educator who devotes her life to researching mysterious objects in space. As a child, Faherty used to look up at the night sky and 41 . “Why are we here? What is this Earth?” Faherty 42 thought she could work in astronomy (天文学), for she thought it was a field 43 by men. Later, a movie featuring a female scientist 44 everything and set her on her astronomy career path.
Now Faherty works at the American Museum of Natural History, where she studies objects in space — 45 , brown dwarfs. Brown dwarf, which is neither a planet nor a star, doesn’t have enough energy to shine 46 . Her work, including more than 180 peer-reviewed articles in astrophysics journals, has helped people 47 more about brown dwarfs. “One of the brown dwarfs called the Accident is probably the 48 one we’ve ever found,” Faherty says, “It came together around the same time our universe (宇宙) was forming.” Faherty and her team are working to understand what the Accident is made of. “I can use that information to try to understand the ‘ 49 ’ of planets,” she says.
Faherty leads 50 programs at the museum, too. Visitors can attend her public talks. She shares the wonders of 51 with people of all ages, involving the public in exciting new discoveries in astronomy.
Through her 52 and teaching, Faherty is expanding our knowledge about space and 53 the next generation of scientists.

67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In Orchestra class, we had on Fridays something called Chair Challenge. You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first — then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won.
If you won, you switched (交换) places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello (大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert.
Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert. I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges — and win all five! And I only had six weeks to do it.
The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends. I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible.
But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn’t sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better.
The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, “Challenge successful — switch chairs.” I felt excited.
I didn’t dare tell anyone about my goal. I knew they’d tell me it was impossible.
The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years! Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult.
But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week — until it was the last Friday of December. I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed. “Well ...?” she said.注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Challenge!” I called out.
