The Turquoise Coast is one of Turkey’s natural wonders. But in recent years, the area has become severely damaged due to overfishing. An effort to restore the area is in progress, thanks to Zafer Kizilkaya, president and founder of the Mediterranean Conservation Society. He successfully persuaded the Turkish government to build a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) covering more than 300 miles along the Mediterranean coast.
Kizilkaya’s mission began in 2007, following a diving adventure in Gokova Bay, a 62-mile-long gulf in the center of the Turquoise Coast. He had returned to his native Turkey after several years working as a researcher and underwater photographer in Indonesia and was shocked by the marine degradation.
According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the Mediterranean is the world’s most overfished sea. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he decided to take action at once and try to persuade local fishers. Getting the support of fishers was the biggest challenge, but because of the dire situation, some started to listen. In 2012, Kizilkaya established Turkey’s first community-managed MPA in Gokova Bay.
He trained local fishers as marine rangers who could monitor the waters for illegal fishing and send alerts to the Turkish Coast Guard. Thanks to his work, Gokova Bay’s marine ecosystem has made a great comeback. According to the ocean protection charity Blue Marine Foundation, the number of fish per square meter has increased ten times since 2012 and incomes for local fishers have increased 400%.
“Gokova Bay became a great example for protecting the ocean,” says Kizilkaya. His success helped him persuade the Turkish government to spread the MPA network southeastward along 310 miles of Turkish coastline. “I’d like to see MPAs established across Turkey and the entire Mediterranean, and I hope my work has opened people’s eyes to the crisis underwater and what we can do to solve it,” Kizilkaya adds.
4. What can we know about the Turquoise Coast?
A. Its ecosystem has been damaged.
B. The coast is too large to be protected.
C. The water in that area is seriously polluted.
D. It is the most famous tourist attraction in Turkey.
5. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Controllable. B. Impressive. C. Terrible. D. Influential.
6. How did Kizilkaya protect the Gokova Bay?
A. Working with the local fishers.
B. Helping the coast guard catch bad people.
C. Monitoring the illegal fishing in person.
D. Increasing the incomes of local fishers.
7. Which of the following best describes Kizilkaya?
A. Humorous and warm-hearted. B. Determined and eco-conscious.
C. Independent and long-sighted. D. Persevering and bio-thoughtful.
C
There’s little doubt that participating in sports brings many health benefits for kids. According to a recent study, boys who play sports during their early childhood are less likely to experience emotional stress, including signs of depression and anxiety, later in life compared to boys who didn’t participate in sports.
Marie-losée Harbec did the research for the study as a doctoral student. Along with her professor, she analyzed data taken from a Quebec group of 690 boys and 748 girls who were born in 1997 and 1998. The information they looked at was reported by parents of the children and included the kids’ physical activity at 5-year old and 12-year old. They also reviewed reports from the children’s teachers about signs of emotional stress seen in the kids from ages 6 to 10 years.
The researchers discovered that participating in sports in preschool might help boys develop life skills, such as joining in teamwork, practicing self-control and building supportive relationships. Besides, they discovered that joining in sports helps boys with their emotional health, and that emotionally well boys join more often in physical activity.
However, the researchers didn’t find any obvious relationship between girls’ participation in sports and their emotional health. She points to one explanation being that girls are more likely than boys to look for help from and share their emotional stress with family, friends, or healthcare providers.
While the researchers didn’t measure whether the kids they analyzed were good at the sport they joined in, they did measure their physical fitness at age 12. They discovered that boys who had lower levels of depressive and anxiety signs between ages 6 to 10 years were the ones who were the most physically fit at age 12. “We could say that physically active kids probably have better physical fitness,” says Harbec.
Harbec believes schools should provide different after-class team sports and physical activities beginning in kindergarten. She says: “Parents also should join in promoting physical activity and sport participation among youth by acting as role models and taking part in their children’s activities.”
8. Why does the author mention the children’s parents and teachers in Paragraph 2?
A. To show the only way to get data.
B. To show the support for the research.
C. To show the collected data were reliable.
D. To show the information was hard to get.
9. Why do girls fail to get obvious mental health benefits from sports?
A. They are much emotionally stronger than boys.
B. They are better at getting psychological support.
C. They have a larger and better social circle in life.
D. They are used to emotional stress earlier than boys.
10. What is Harbec’s advice for parents?
A. Spend more time with children.
B. Look for a role model for children.
C. Force children to exercise regularly.
D. Keep physically active with their children.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Girls benefit more from regular exercise.
B. Exercise frequency influences children’s mental health.
C. Sports competence is connected with less depression risk.
D. Boys’ childhood sports prevent later anxiety and depression.
D
New research from the University of Hawai’i (UH) revealed traditional Hawaiian fishponds (loko i’a) could effectively keep fish populations from the negative impacts of climate change. The research was published in the recent issue of Ocean Sustainability.
Loko i’a are traditional Hawaiian fishponds built along coastal areas or river mouths. These fishponds have been used for centuries. They use carefully constructed walls to trap seawater while allowing freshwater to flow in, creating a controlled environment for fish: This design not only supports sustainable fish farming but also reflects the ecological knowledge and cultural practices of Hawaiian communities.
“We found that although rising water temperature may lead to declines in fish populations, loko i’a fish populations were more resistant to rising water temperatures than those in the surrounding estuary (江河入海的河口). This result is likely due to the temperature regulation that loko i’a receives from freshwater input, both at the surface and below the ground. The temperature differences we detected are meaningful for fish productivity,” said lead author Annie Innes-Gold, a recent PhD graduate from the UH.
“These findings highlight how important freshwater inputs are as a source of temperature regulation,” said Innes-Gold. “They also support the importance of biocultural restoration in terms of enhancing fish populations and increasing social-ecological resistance in a changing climate.”
For Hawai’i, the findings demonstrate the value that traditional knowledge and systems have in guiding modern science. “Loko i’a are a system unique to Hawai’i, and their restoration can have wide-reaching benefits including cultural preservation, education, healthy ecosystems, food security, and now — from what we found in our study — also climate resistance,” said Innes-Gold.
12. What did the study find about loko i’a?
A. They face rising temperature challenges.
B. They have a great diversity of fish species.
C. They are able to resist climate change impacts.
D. They receive water supply from local estuaries.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Summarize the previous paragraph.
B. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. Provide some background information.
D. Offer an example for the next paragraph.
14. What comparisons between loko i’a and the surrounding bay did the researchers make?
A. Their fish behavior. B. Their daily fish catch.
C. Their natural nutrients. D. Their water temperatures.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ancient Practices Inspire Modern Solutions. B. Hot Weather Threatens Hawaiian Traditions.
C. Fishery Development Ensures Food Security. D. Freshwater Inputs Reduce Sea Fish Numbers.

47. 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。
The phone rang at 2:00 AM, an annoying sound in the silent apartment. I picked up the receiver, my voice thick with sleep. “Hello?”
“Is this Sarah?” a woman’s voice whispered, trembling. “I just… I needed to hear a voice. I’m sorry if I woke you.”
I rubbed my eyes, irritation rising. “Wrong number, ma’ am. There’s no Sarah here.”
“Oh,” she breathed, the disappointment heavy even through the static (静电). “I’m sorry. I just… my daughter passed away last week, and I keep reaching for the phone, thinking she’ll answer.”
The irritation vanished, replaced by a cold ache in my chest. I looked at the clock, then at the empty chair across from me where my own mother used to sit before the cancer took her three years ago. I knew that silence. I knew the desperate need to fill it.
“Ma’am,” I said, my voice suddenly steady. “My name is Elena. I don’t know Sarah, but I’m here.”
There was a long pause, then a soft sob. “I’m Martha.”
We didn’t talk about death. We talked about the rain against the window, the smell of old books, and how tea tastes better when you’re not drinking it alone. For twenty minutes, I wasn’t a stranger; I was a lifeline. When she finally whispered, “Thank you, Elena,” and hung up, I sat in the dark, the silence no longer empty, but full.
I never called back. I didn’t want to intrude (打扰) on her grief with my presence. But I kept the number in my phone, labeled simply: Martha.
Months later, my phone lit up. It was her. “Elena?”
She asked, her voice stronger now. “I made tea today. I thought maybe… you’d like to share a cup, even from afar.”
We talked for an hour that time.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: We weren’t just voices in the dark anymore; we were friends.

Paragraph 2: Six months later, a small package arrived at my door with no return address.

The Turquoise Coast is one of Turkey’s natural wonders. But in recent years, the area has become severely damaged due to overfishing. An effort to restore the area is in progress, thanks to Zafer Kizilkaya, president and founder of the Mediterranean Conservation Society. He successfully persuaded the Turkish government to build a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) covering more than 300 miles along the Mediterranean coast.
Kizilkaya’s mission began in 2007, following a diving adventure in Gokova Bay, a 62-mile-long gulf in the center of the Turquoise Coast. He had returned to his native Turkey after several years working as a researcher and underwater photographer in Indonesia and was shocked by the marine degradation.
According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the Mediterranean is the world’s most overfished sea. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he decided to take action at once and try to persuade local fishers. Getting the support of fishers was the biggest challenge, but because of the dire situation, some started to listen. In 2012, Kizilkaya established Turkey’s first community-managed MPA in Gokova Bay.
He trained local fishers as marine rangers who could monitor the waters for illegal fishing and send alerts to the Turkish Coast Guard. Thanks to his work, Gokova Bay’s marine ecosystem has made a great comeback. According to the ocean protection charity Blue Marine Foundation, the number of fish per square meter has increased ten times since 2012 and incomes for local fishers have increased 400%.
“Gokova Bay became a great example for protecting the ocean,” says Kizilkaya. His success helped him persuade the Turkish government to spread the MPA network southeastward along 310 miles of Turkish coastline. “I’d like to see MPAs established across Turkey and the entire Mediterranean, and I hope my work has opened people’s eyes to the crisis underwater and what we can do to solve it,” Kizilkaya adds.
4. What can we know about the Turquoise Coast?
A. Its ecosystem has been damaged.
B. The coast is too large to be protected.
C. The water in that area is seriously polluted.
D. It is the most famous tourist attraction in Turkey.
5. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Controllable. B. Impressive. C. Terrible. D. Influential.
6. How did Kizilkaya protect the Gokova Bay?
A. Working with the local fishers.
B. Helping the coast guard catch bad people.
C. Monitoring the illegal fishing in person.
D. Increasing the incomes of local fishers.
7. Which of the following best describes Kizilkaya?
A. Humorous and warm-hearted. B. Determined and eco-conscious.
C. Independent and long-sighted. D. Persevering and bio-thoughtful.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】7主要讲述环保人士Kizilkaya推动建立海洋保护区,修复土耳其绿松石海岸海洋生态的相关事迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But in recent years, the area has become severely damaged due to overfishing.(但是近些年来,由于过度捕捞,这片区域遭到严重破坏。)”可知,绿松石海岸的生态系统已经遭到破坏。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he decided to take action at once and try to persuade local fishers. Getting the support of fishers was the biggest challenge, but because of the dire situation, some started to listen.(意识到问题的严重性,他决定立刻采取行动,尽力说服当地渔民。获得渔民的支持是最大的挑战,但因为dire的局面,一部分渔民开始愿意倾听。)”可知,地中海过度捕捞问题十分严重,海洋生态处境糟糕,因此,画线单词“dire”表示形势严峻、糟糕,与“Terrible”意义相近。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He trained local fishers as marine rangers who could monitor the waters for illegal fishing and send alerts to the Turkish Coast Guard.(他培训当地渔民成为海洋护林员,由他们监视水域里的非法捕捞行为,并向土耳其海岸警卫队发送警报。)”可知,Kizilkaya通过与当地渔民合作的方式来保护戈科瓦湾。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中的“Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he decided to take action at once and try to persuade local fishers.(意识到问题的严重性,他决定立刻采取行动,尽力说服当地渔民。)”以及第五段中的“I’d like to see MPAs established across Turkey and the entire Mediterranean, and I hope my work has opened people’s eyes to the crisis underwater and what we can do to solve it.(我希望土耳其以及整个地中海都能建立海洋保护区,我希望我的工作能够让人们意识到水下危机以及我们的解决办法。)”可知,面对海洋破坏问题他立刻付诸行动,还心怀海洋保护的远大目标,由此可知,他意志坚定并且具备生态保护意识。
C
There’s little doubt that participating in sports brings many health benefits for kids. According to a recent study, boys who play sports during their early childhood are less likely to experience emotional stress, including signs of depression and anxiety, later in life compared to boys who didn’t participate in sports.
Marie-losée Harbec did the research for the study as a doctoral student. Along with her professor, she analyzed data taken from a Quebec group of 690 boys and 748 girls who were born in 1997 and 1998. The information they looked at was reported by parents of the children and included the kids’ physical activity at 5-year old and 12-year old. They also reviewed reports from the children’s teachers about signs of emotional stress seen in the kids from ages 6 to 10 years.
The researchers discovered that participating in sports in preschool might help boys develop life skills, such as joining in teamwork, practicing self-control and building supportive relationships. Besides, they discovered that joining in sports helps boys with their emotional health, and that emotionally well boys join more often in physical activity.
However, the researchers didn’t find any obvious relationship between girls’ participation in sports and their emotional health. She points to one explanation being that girls are more likely than boys to look for help from and share their emotional stress with family, friends, or healthcare providers.
While the researchers didn’t measure whether the kids they analyzed were good at the sport they joined in, they did measure their physical fitness at age 12. They discovered that boys who had lower levels of depressive and anxiety signs between ages 6 to 10 years were the ones who were the most physically fit at age 12. “We could say that physically active kids probably have better physical fitness,” says Harbec.
Harbec believes schools should provide different after-class team sports and physical activities beginning in kindergarten. She says: “Parents also should join in promoting physical activity and sport participation among youth by acting as role models and taking part in their children’s activities.”
8. Why does the author mention the children’s parents and teachers in Paragraph 2?
A. To show the only way to get data.
B. To show the support for the research.
C. To show the collected data were reliable.
D. To show the information was hard to get.
9. Why do girls fail to get obvious mental health benefits from sports?
A. They are much emotionally stronger than boys.
B. They are better at getting psychological support.
C. They have a larger and better social circle in life.
D. They are used to emotional stress earlier than boys.
10. What is Harbec’s advice for parents?
A. Spend more time with children.
B. Look for a role model for children.
C. Force children to exercise regularly.
D. Keep physically active with their children.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Girls benefit more from regular exercise.
B. Exercise frequency influences children’s mental health.
C. Sports competence is connected with less depression risk.
D. Boys’ childhood sports prevent later anxiety and depression.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍一项研究,幼儿参加体育运动对男孩情绪健康有益,但女孩未体现出明显关联。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The information they looked at was reported by parents of the children and included the kids’ physical activity at 5-year old and 12-year old. They also reviewed reports from the children’s teachers about signs of emotional stress seen in the kids from ages 6 to 10 years.(他们所研究的信息由孩子的家长上报,包含孩子5岁和12岁时的体育活动情况。他们还查阅孩子老师的报告,了解孩子们6‑10岁的情绪压力表现。)”可知,研究同时参考家长、老师两方记录,以此保证收集的数据是可靠的。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She points to one explanation being that girls are more likely than boys to look for help from and share their emotional stress with family, friends, or healthcare providers.(她给出一种解释:相比男孩,女孩更倾向于向家人、朋友或医护人员寻求帮助、倾诉情绪压力。)”可知,女孩更擅长获取心理方面的支持,因此运动没有显现明显额外心理益处。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Parents also should join in promoting physical activity and sport participation among youth by acting as role models and taking part in their children’s activities.(家长也应当以身作则,参与孩子的活动,共同促进青少年的体育活动和体育参与。)”可知,家长应和孩子一同保持体育锻炼的习惯。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“boys who play sports during their early childhood are less likely to experience emotional stress, including signs of depression and anxiety, later in life compared to boys who didn’t participate in sports.(与不参加运动的男孩相比,幼年参与体育运动的男孩日后产生抑郁、焦虑等情绪压力的可能性更低。)”可知,文章围绕该研究结论展开:幼儿时期参加体育运动能够降低男孩日后抑郁、焦虑等情绪压力的风险。
D
New research from the University of Hawai’i (UH) revealed traditional Hawaiian fishponds (loko i’a) could effectively keep fish populations from the negative impacts of climate change. The research was published in the recent issue of Ocean Sustainability.
Loko i’a are traditional Hawaiian fishponds built along coastal areas or river mouths. These fishponds have been used for centuries. They use carefully constructed walls to trap seawater while allowing freshwater to flow in, creating a controlled environment for fish: This design not only supports sustainable fish farming but also reflects the ecological knowledge and cultural practices of Hawaiian communities.
“We found that although rising water temperature may lead to declines in fish populations, loko i’a fish populations were more resistant to rising water temperatures than those in the surrounding estuary (江河入海的河口). This result is likely due to the temperature regulation that loko i’a receives from freshwater input, both at the surface and below the ground. The temperature differences we detected are meaningful for fish productivity,” said lead author Annie Innes-Gold, a recent PhD graduate from the UH.
“These findings highlight how important freshwater inputs are as a source of temperature regulation,” said Innes-Gold. “They also support the importance of biocultural restoration in terms of enhancing fish populations and increasing social-ecological resistance in a changing climate.”
For Hawai’i, the findings demonstrate the value that traditional knowledge and systems have in guiding modern science. “Loko i’a are a system unique to Hawai’i, and their restoration can have wide-reaching benefits including cultural preservation, education, healthy ecosystems, food security, and now — from what we found in our study — also climate resistance,” said Innes-Gold.
12. What did the study find about loko i’a?
A. They face rising temperature challenges.
B. They have a great diversity of fish species.
C. They are able to resist climate change impacts.
D. They receive water supply from local estuaries.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Summarize the previous paragraph.
B. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. Provide some background information.
D. Offer an example for the next paragraph.
14. What comparisons between loko i’a and the surrounding bay did the researchers make?
A. Their fish behavior. B. Their daily fish catch.
C. Their natural nutrients. D. Their water temperatures.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ancient Practices Inspire Modern Solutions. B. Hot Weather Threatens Hawaiian Traditions.
C. Fishery Development Ensures Food Security. D. Freshwater Inputs Reduce Sea Fish Numbers.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
The phone rang at 2:00 AM, an annoying sound in the silent apartment. I picked up the receiver, my voice thick with sleep. “Hello?”
“Is this Sarah?” a woman’s voice whispered, trembling. “I just… I needed to hear a voice. I’m sorry if I woke you.”
I rubbed my eyes, irritation rising. “Wrong number, ma’ am. There’s no Sarah here.”
“Oh,” she breathed, the disappointment heavy even through the static (静电). “I’m sorry. I just… my daughter passed away last week, and I keep reaching for the phone, thinking she’ll answer.”
The irritation vanished, replaced by a cold ache in my chest. I looked at the clock, then at the empty chair across from me where my own mother used to sit before the cancer took her three years ago. I knew that silence. I knew the desperate need to fill it.
“Ma’am,” I said, my voice suddenly steady. “My name is Elena. I don’t know Sarah, but I’m here.”
There was a long pause, then a soft sob. “I’m Martha.”
We didn’t talk about death. We talked about the rain against the window, the smell of old books, and how tea tastes better when you’re not drinking it alone. For twenty minutes, I wasn’t a stranger; I was a lifeline. When she finally whispered, “Thank you, Elena,” and hung up, I sat in the dark, the silence no longer empty, but full.
I never called back. I didn’t want to intrude (打扰) on her grief with my presence. But I kept the number in my phone, labeled simply: Martha.
Months later, my phone lit up. It was her. “Elena?”
She asked, her voice stronger now. “I made tea today. I thought maybe… you’d like to share a cup, even from afar.”
We talked for an hour that time.

Paragraph 1: We weren’t just voices in the dark anymore; we were friends.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Six months later, a small package arrived at my door with no return address.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
We weren't just voices in the dark anymore; we were friends. We called each other from time to time, sharing little daily moments rather than sorrow. Martha told me about the garden she started, planting flowers her daughter Sarah had loved. I talked to her about my ordinary days, recalling warm memories of my late mother. We comforted one another when sadness crept in, celebrating tiny joys as well. Gradually, the sharp pain of loss softened for both of us. Though we had never met face-to-face, our bond grew firm across the phone line, healing the wounds left by goodbye.
Six months later, a small package arrived at my door with no return address. Curious, I opened it carefully. Inside was a jar of fragrant tea and a hand-written note. Martha wrote that the tea was Sarah's favourite, and she wanted me to have it, as a token of thanks for that cold midnight call. Tears welled up in my eyes. That accidental wrong-number call had brought two grieving souls together. I made a cup of tea right away, gazing out the window. Distance could not separate two hearts that understood each other's pain. That midnight mistake turned out to be the most precious gift fate had given us.
