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)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A recent study released by Greenpeace has highlighted the growing gap in carbon emissions (排放) between different social groups. While the global average annual carbon budget per person is 2.3 tons to avoid disastrous climate change, the distribution of emissions remains extremely unfair. Here are the key statistics from the research.
Population Group
Annual CO2 Emissions per Person (tons)
Days to Use Up Annual Carbon Budget
Main Emission Sources
Top 5% Wealthy
68
12
Private flights, luxury housing, high-consumption lifestyles
Global Middle Class
3.2
262
Car use, household energy, regular travel
Bottom 40% Poor
0.5
839
Basic daily needs, low-energy consumption
The study points out that the top 5% wealthy group, accounting for only a small part of the global population, contributes nearly 40% of the world’s total carbon emissions. Their high-emission lifestyles not only exhaust their own carbon budgets in a short time but also occupy the living space of other groups. In contrast, the bottom 40% poor, who have almost no room for high-consumption, barely use their carbon budgets, yet they are the first to face the threats of rising sea levels, extreme weather, and food shortages caused by climate change.
To address this inequality, Greenpeace calls on governments around the world to carry out “carbon equality policies”: collect higher carbon taxes on high-emission luxury goods and wealthy individuals, and invest the tax revenue (收入) in renewable energy projects and climate adaptation support for poor regions. “Carbon inequality is a matter of justice. Those who emit more should take more responsibility,” said Lena Wang, a researcher at Greenpeace.
21. How many days does it take the global middle class to exhaust their annual carbon budget?
A. 12 days. B. 68 days. C. 262 days. D. 839 days.
22. Who are the main victims of climate change caused by carbon inequality?
A. The top 5% wealthy. B. The bottom 40% poor.
C. The global middle class. D. The 40% working class.
23. What does Lena Wang suggest to solve carbon inequality?
A. Tax major polluters more. B. Reduce the global carbon budget.
C. Limit the number of private flights. D. Provide free energy for poor regions.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了不同社会群体之间碳排放的不平等现象及绿色和平组织提出的应对建议。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格“Global Middle Class(全球中产阶级)”一行以及“Days to Use Up Annual Carbon Budget(耗尽年度碳预算所需天数)”对应262可知,全球中产阶级耗尽年度碳预算需要262天。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In contrast, the bottom 40% poor, who have almost no room for high-consumption, barely use their carbon budgets, yet they are the first to face the threats of rising sea levels, extreme weather, and food shortages caused by climate change.(相比之下,底层40%的穷人几乎没有高消费空间,几乎不消耗碳预算,却最先面临气候变化导致的海平面上升、极端天气和粮食短缺的威胁)”可知,底层40%的穷人几乎不消耗碳预算却最先承受气候灾害,是碳不平等引发的气候变化的主要受害者。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中绿色和平组织呼吁的“collect higher carbon taxes on high-emission luxury goods and wealthy individuals(对高排放奢侈品和富人征收更高的碳税)”以及Lena Wang所说的话“Those who emit more should take more responsibility.(排放越多的人应承担越多责任)”可知,Lena Wang建议解决碳不平等的方向是对主要污染者征收更多税。
B
When I was eight, my grandma, a lifelong gardener, would let me tag (跟随) along to her backyard plot every Saturday morning. Her hands, gnarled from decades of digging and planting, moved with a quiet grace as she tended to tomatoes, basil, and sunflowers. I’d kneel beside her, dirt under my nails, watching her show me how to gently place seeds in the soil, and how to water just enough without drowning the sprouts (嫩芽).
At first, I was only allowed to pull weeds — small, easy tasks that kept me busy. By twelve, she trusted me to plant rows of lettuce and harvest ripe strawberries. “Gardening isn’t just about growing food,” she’d say, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “It’s about listening to the earth, being patient, and caring for something that grows slow.” Every time a seed I’d planted dried up, she’d kneel down with me, dig it up, and explain what went wrong — too much sun, not enough water — never scolding, only teaching.
As I grew up, gardening apps and online instructors flooded my phone. They promised “perfect vegetable gardens in 30 days” with fancy fertilizers and automated watering systems. But when I tried following them alone, my plants still struggled. The apps skipped the quiet lessons grandma had taught me: how to feel the soil’s moisture (水分) with your fingers, how to spot harmful insects before they spread, and how to talk to your plants like old friends.
Last summer, I planted a small garden in my own apartment balcony. As I dug the soil and placed tomato seeds, I could almost hear grandma’s voice. My harvest wasn’t huge — just a handful of cherry tomatoes and a few basil leaves — but every bite tasted like her. It’s a skill she passed down, not from a screen, but from her hands to mine, rooted in patience and love.
Digital guides can tell you what to do, but they can’t teach you the feel of the earth or the joy of watching something grow because someone cared enough to show you. Real skills stick when they’re passed person to person, step by step, heart to heart.
24. What does the underlined word “gnarled” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Soft and delicate. B. Strong and clean. C. Rough and bent. D. Flexible and smooth.
25. How did Grandma teach the author gardening?
A. By referring to the guidebooks. B. By explaining problems patiently.
C. By criticizing her mistakes strictly. D. By showing fancy gardening tools.
26. What does the author think of gardening apps and online instructors?
A. Impractical. B. Convenient. C. Misleading. D. Informative.
27. What message does the author mainly want to convey?
A. Gardening is a good way to relieve stress.
B. Patience is the key to successful gardening.
C. Digital learning is replacing traditional teaching.
D. Hands-on guidance is vital for mastering real skills.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过祖母手把手传授的园艺经历,感悟到真正的技能需要人与人之间的亲身指导与耐心传承,而非依赖数字教程。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Her hands, gnarled from decades of digging and planting, moved with a quiet grace as she tended to tomatoes, basil, and sunflowers. (她的手,因数十年的挖掘和种植而gnarled,在照料西红柿、罗勒和向日葵时,以安静的优雅移动。)”可知,祖母的手因多年挖土种植而变得粗糙、弯曲,故“gnarled”意为“粗糙且弯曲的”。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Every time a seed I’d planted dried up, she’d kneel down with me, dig it up, and explain what went wrong — too much sun, not enough water — never scolding, only teaching. (每次我种的种子干枯了,她都会和我一起跪下来,把它挖出来,并解释哪里出了问题——阳光太多,水不够——从不责骂,只教导。)”可知,祖母通过耐心解释问题来教作者园艺。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But when I tried following them alone, my plants still struggled. The apps skipped the quiet lessons grandma had taught me: how to feel the soil’s moisture (水分) with your fingers, how to spot harmful insects before they spread, and how to talk to your plants like old friends. (但当我独自尝试遵循它们时,我的植物仍然挣扎。这些应用程序跳过了祖母教给我的那些安静的课程:如何用你的手指感受土壤的水分,如何在有害昆虫传播之前发现它们,以及如何像老朋友一样和你的植物说话。)”可知,作者认为园艺App和在线指导虽然承诺快速见效,但实际效果不佳,且它们跳过了祖母传授的细腻经验,因此作者认为它们不切实际。

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Real skills stick when they’re passed person to person, step by step, heart to heart. (真正的技能在人与人之间、一步一步、心连心地传递时才会扎根。)”可知,作者主要想传达的是亲身指导对于掌握真正技能至关重要。

In an era dominated by quick texts and brief emojis, voice notes have quietly emerged as a powerful solution to digital disconnection. Unlike typed messages that remove tone and warmth, a voice note carries the rhythm of a laugh, the softness of a sigh, and the unscripted (即兴的) sincerity of real speech — elements that make human connection feel genuine, even across miles.
I used to avoid sending voice notes, overwhelmed by the fear of sounding awkward or unclear. But after receiving a random voice message from a friend living abroad, filled with the sound of their morning coffee and casual joy, I realized how eager I was for this kind of genuine connection. Such a simple audio greeting brought me more comfort than dozens of well-polished texts and instantly melted the loneliness brought by long-distance separation. Texting feels like a performance, where we edit and polish every word; voice notes let us be messy, human, and truly present for one another.
What makes voice notes special is their non-real-time magic. They let you speak without the pressure of an immediate reply, pour out thoughts at your own pace, and leave a piece of your world for someone to hold onto later. A voice note isn’t just information — it’s a hug in audio form, a reminder that someone is thinking of you deeply enough to share their unedited self.
In a world that values speed over sincerity, choosing a voice note is an act of care. It says, “I value you enough to take the time, to be real, and to bridge the gap between screens with the sound of my voice.” And in that small, intentional choice, we rebuild the human connection that technology so often threatens to erase. These short audio moments turn cold screens into warm conversations and bring hearts closer in our busy modern life.

30. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “intentional choice”?
A. Voice notes are more convenient to use.
B. Technology improves connection greatly.
C. Sincere communication takes time and care.
D. People should refuse digital communication.
31. What is the best title for the text?

They let you speak without the pressure of an immediate reply, pour out thoughts at your own pace, and leave a piece of your world for someone to hold onto later.(语音留言的独特之处在于其非实时的魔力。它们让你在没有立即回复的压力下说话,按照自己的节奏倾诉想法,并将你生活的点滴片段留给对方之后慢慢感受)”可知,作者认为语音留言特殊是因为它们允许自然的表达。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a world that values speed over sincerity, choosing a voice note is an act of care. It says, “I value you enough to take the time, to be real, and to bridge the gap between screens with the sound of my voice.” (在一个重视速度胜过真诚的世界里,选择语音留言是一种关心的行为。它表明:“我足够重视你,愿意花时间,做真实的自己,并用我的声音来弥合屏幕之间的鸿沟。”)”可知,作者提到“intentional choice”是为了表明真诚的沟通需要时间和用心。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“In an era dominated by quick texts and brief emojis, voice notes have quietly emerged as a powerful solution to digital disconnection. (在一个以快速短信和简短表情符号为主导的时代,语音留言已经悄然成为解决数字时代人际疏离问题的有效良方)”以及最后一段“These short audio moments turn cold screens into warm conversations and bring hearts closer in our busy modern life.

Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude improves well-being, but surprisingly, its impact on lifespan (寿命) was unknown. A groundbreaking new study has filled this gap.
Published in July 2024, the study analyzed data from 49,275 women participating in the long-running Nurses’ Health Study. In 2016, when their average age was 79, these women completed a brief six-item questionnaire measuring their sense of gratitude. They indicated their agreement with statements like, “I have so much in life to be thankful for.” Four years later, researchers examined medical records to track who had passed away. Among the participants, 4,608 deaths occurred from various causes, including heart disease, cancer, and other leading illnesses.
The results were striking. Women whose gratitude scores placed them in the top third at the start of the study had a 9% lower risk of dying over the next four years compared to those in the bottom third. This protective effect remained significant even after adjusting for factors like physical health, economic status, and other measures of mental health. Crucially, the benefit appeared across nearly all causes of death, offering some protection against major killers like heart disease.
While the study cannot definitively prove causation, co-author Tyler VanderWeele proposes several explanations. First, feeling grateful simply makes people happier, and happiness itself correlates with longer life. Second, grateful individuals might be more motivated to care for their health, such as attending doctor’s appointments or exercising regularly. Finally, expressing gratitude can strengthen social bonds and increase social support, both of which are known to boost health.
The study was observational. This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists. Furthermore, the study population consisted exclusively of older, primarily white, female nurses with high socioeconomic status. Researchers now wonder whether these findings would apply equally to men, younger people, or those from different economic backgrounds.
32. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By focusing on older adults over 79.
B. By following participants for over a decade.
C. By using a complex survey with many questions.
D. By collecting data via a questionnaire on gratitude.
33. Which of the following does Tyler VanderWeele agree with?
A. Wealthy people accept gratitude more often.
B. People are more motivated to make new friends.
C. Grateful people tend to take better care of themselves.
D. Happy people are more likely to express their gratitude.
34. What does the author imply about the study in the last paragraph?
A. It has some limitations.
B. It contradicts previous studies.
C. Its findings will be applied to other fields.
D. Its participants come from diverse backgrounds.
35. What is the text mainly talking about?
A. The impact of gratitude on lifespan.
B. The role of social support in aging.
C. The ways of practicing gratitude.
D. The significance of well-being.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍一项新研究,探究感恩心态对人的寿命的影响,阐述研究过程、结果、成因及研究存在的局限性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2016, when their average age was 79, these women completed a brief six-item questionnaire measuring their sense of gratitude.(2016年,当这些女性的平均年龄为79岁时,她们完成了一份简短的六项问卷,用以测量自身的感恩意识)”可知,研究人员通过感恩问卷调查收集相关数据开展研究。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Second, grateful individuals might be more motivated to care for their health, such as attending doctor’s appointments or exercising regularly.(其次,心怀感恩的人可能更有动力关注自身健康,比如按时就医或坚持锻炼)”可知,Tyler VanderWeele认为心怀感恩的人往往会更好地照顾自己。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists. Furthermore, the study population consisted exclusively of older, primarily white, female nurses with high socioeconomic status.(这意味着该研究无法证明感恩能让人更长寿,仅能证明二者存在关联。此外,研究对象仅为社会经济地位较高的年长白人女性护士)”可知,作者暗示这项研究存在一定的局限性,样本单一且无法证实因果关系。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据文章首段“Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude improves well-being, but surprisingly, its impact on lifespan (寿命) was unknown. A groundbreaking new study has filled this gap.(研究一直表明践行感恩能提升幸福感,但令人意外的是,其对寿命的影响尚不明确。一项开创性的新研究填补了这一空白)”可知,文章围绕感恩对人类寿命的影响展开,介绍了相关研究的过程、结果、原因与不足。

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。
How to Regain Focus in a World of Distractions
In an era of endless notifications, social media feeds, and multitasking demands, staying focused has become one of the biggest challenges for students and professionals alike. ___36___ You might look quickly at your phone during mid-task, zone out during a meeting, or switch between tabs so often that you lose track of your original goal.
___37___ Many people confuse “being busy” with “being focused.” Busyness means filling your time with tasks, often randomly; focus, by contrast, means directing your full mental energy to one single task at a time. A 2023 Stanford study found that heavy multitaskers are actually worse at blocking out irrelevant information and switching between tasks efficiently than those who focus deeply.
The good news is that focus is a skill you can train, not a fixed quality. ___38___ Start by creating a distraction-free environment: put your phone on silent mode and out of sight, close unnecessary browser (浏览器) tabs, and find a quiet space to work. This physical setup signals to your brain that it’s time to concentrate.
Next, practice the Pomodoro Technique, a proven method for building focus. Work in 25-minute bursts of intense focus, followed by a 5-minute break. ___39___ After four such cycles, take a longer 15-30 minute break to recharge. This structured approach prevents mental tiredness and makes large tasks feel manageable.
Finally, train your brain to resist distractions. When an irrelevant thought or urge to check your phone arises, acknowledge it without acting on it, and then gently redirect your attention back to your task. ___40___ Over time, this mental discipline will strengthen your focus muscle, making it easier to stay on track even in chaotic environments.
A. The short rest refreshes your brain effectively.
B. Many people have trouble keeping focused on tasks.
C. What is focus and how is it different from busyness?
D. Focus improvement requires daily continuous practice.
E. Can we take control of various interruptions around us?
F. Multitasking is seemingly efficient but harmful to focus.
G. This simple act helps improve your mental self-discipline.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了在信息时代保持专注的几个策略。
【36题详解】
根据上文“In an era of endless notifications, social media feeds, and multitasking demands, staying focused has become one of the biggest challenges for students and professionals alike.(在一个无休止的通知、社交媒体推送和多任务处理需求的时代,保持专注已成为学生和专业人士都面临的最大挑战之一)”以及下文“You might look quickly at your phone during mid-task, zone out during a meeting, or switch between tabs so often that you lose track of your original goal.(你可能会在任务进行中快速查看手机,在会议中分心,或者经常在标签之间切换,以至于你忘记了最初的目标)”可知,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句,既承接上文所说的很难保持专注这一挑战,又要引出下文很难集中注意力完成任务的具体例子,B项“Many people have trouble keeping focused on tasks.(许多人很难集中精力完成任务)”既承接了上文信息时代很难保持专注这一挑战这一话题,又引出了下文的具体例子,起到了承上启下的过渡作用。
【37题详解】
下文“Many people confuse “being busy” with “being focused.” Busyness means filling your time with tasks, often randomly; focus, by contrast, means directing your full mental energy to one single task at a time.(许多人把“忙碌”和“专注”混为一谈。忙碌意味着用任务填满你的时间,通常是随机的;相比之下,专注意味着一次将你的全部精力集中在一项任务上)”解释了“忙碌”和“专注”的不同之处,此处作为段首主题句,应该引出这一话题,C项“What is focus and how is it different from busyness?(什么是专注,它和忙碌有什么不同?)”总领全段,引出下文介绍的“忙碌”和“专注”的不同之处。
【38题详解】
根据上文“The good news is that focus is a skill you can train, not a fixed quality. (好消息是,专注是一种可以训练的技能,而不是一种固定的品质)”可知,此处承接上文,应继续说明通过练习提高专注的正确做法,D项“Focus improvement requires daily continuous practice.(注意力的提高需要每天持续的练习)”承接上文,解释了通过练习提高专注的正确做法——持续的练习。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Work in 25-minute bursts of intense focus, followed by a 5-minute break. (集中注意力工作25分钟,然后休息5分钟)”可知,此处承接上文,解释短暂休息对大脑的好处,A项“The short rest refreshes your brain effectively.(短暂的休息能有效地让你的大脑恢复活力)”中的short rest与上文a 5-minute break一致。
【40题详解】
根据上文“When an irrelevant thought or urge to check your phone arises, acknowledge it without acting on it, and then gently redirect your attention back to your task(当一个无关紧要的想法或想要查看手机的冲动出现时,承认它,但不要据此采取行动,然后轻轻地将你的注意力转移到你的任务上)”可知,此处承接上文,解释“当一个无关紧要的想法或想要查看手机的冲动出现时,承认它,但不要据此采取行动”这一做法的好处,G项“This simple act helps improve your mental self-discipline.(这个简单的行为有助于提高你的精神自律能力)”指出了这一做法的好处就是提高精神自律能力。

【导语】文章讲述了尼日利亚留学生王倩(音译)在浙江拍摄节目时深入体验中国乡村生活的经历,她被乡村的宁静与淳朴所打动,高度赞赏中国乡村振兴战略在现代化与传统保护之间的平衡。
【56题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:最初只是一个简单的任务,如今已发展成一段意义深远的旅程。空处引导名词性从句作整个句子的主语,主语从句缺少主语,结合“began as a simple assignment”可知,主语指物,应用连接代词what作引导词,句首单词的首字母需大写。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:王倩对中国的着迷可以追溯到她的小学时期。空处作句子的主语,被Wang Qian’s修饰,名词fascination符合题意,意为“着迷”,是不可数名词。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她在中国完成了十多年的学业,并获得了浙江师范大学的一个博士学位。空处表示泛指,意为“一个博士学位”,应用不定冠词,且doctor的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与村民一起劳作时,她体验到了乡村生活的朴素之美,并对中国农村有了新的认识。句子已有谓语experienced和gained,空处为非谓语,work“工作”和she逻辑上是主动关系,因此用现在分词working,作状语,句首单词的首字母需大写。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她非常钦佩中国的乡村振兴——这是一种现代化与保存下来的历史和传统文化相协调的模式。空处作修饰history的定语,preserve“保护,维护”和history逻辑上是被动关系,因此用过去分词preserved。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:她还高度赞扬那些返乡创业的年轻人,他们创办自己的公司,为当地发展注入了新的活力。空处作start的宾语,结合空前的“their”可知,应用可数名词company“公司”的复数形式companies。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:宁静的乡村生活唤起了她对自己童年的回忆,让她感到宾至如归。空处作修饰rural life的定语,形容词peaceful符合题意,意为“宁静的”。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:宁静的乡村生活唤起了她对自己童年的回忆,让她感到宾至如归。空处修饰短语at home,副词entirely符合题意,意为“完全地”,作状语。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:被村民真诚的温暖所感动,她珍惜每一刻,并在拍摄结束后渴望再次回去。空处和valued并列作句子的谓语,时态应保持一致,用一般过去时,所以用过去式longed。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:在她眼中,中国农村是无价之宝,在那里发展与传统携手并进。结合“development and tradition walk”可知,固定短语hand in hand符合题意,意为“手拉手”。

67. 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。
Lila nervously squeezed (紧捏) the messy script (剧本) in her pocket. She walked slowly toward the school hall with her best friend Mia, her feet feeling heavy. A wave of fear filled her heart, and she whispered helplessly, “I still can’t believe you signed me up for the drama club play. What if I freeze on stage, forget all my lines, and look stupid in front of everyone?”
For years, Lila had kept her biggest interest a secret. She filled her notebooks with her own scripts, writing gentle and brave stories alone, but she never dared to show anyone. Shy and quiet, she seldom spoke in class. She was afraid that people would laugh at her daydreams and soft imagination.
Mia suddenly stopped and turned to Lila, her eyes warm and sure. She knew all of Lila’s hidden dreams. “You’ve written so many scripts alone in your room,” she said softly but firmly. “You understand stories, you feel the characters deeply, and you know what quiet courage is. No one is more right for the lead role than you. This is your chance to stop hiding.”
Lila held her breath. She knew Mia was right, but just thinking about standing under the bright stage lights with so many eyes watching made her hands sweaty. Fear tightened in her chest.
When they entered the hall, the drama teacher Mr. Carter immediately called the club members together to announce the roles. “After looking at everyone, our lead actress will be Lila.”
As soon as he spoke, surprised whispers and quiet laughs spread through the crowd. “Lila? She’s too shy to answer questions in class. How can she play the lead?” A sharp, unkind laugh cut through the room.
Shame burned on Lila’s face. Her ears buzzed (嗡嗡响), and her courage broke completely. She lowered her head, eyes filled with tears, ready to give up and return the script. She wanted to run away and hide in her safe little world where no one would laugh at her dreams.

【答案】范文:
Just as she was struggling, Mia came to her. Mia held her tightly and said calmly, “Their words don’t matter. You’ve written brave stories for others. Now be brave enough to live one.” Mia’s words calmed Lila’s fear. She slowly raised her head and looked at the script. She soon realized the script was her own story about a shy girl finding her light. At that moment, Lila decided not to let fear kill her dream. She took a deep, shaky breath, wiped away her tears, stood up straight, and opened the script.
Her voice shook at first, but grew firmer with each line. She put all her understanding of the character and all her hidden strong will into her words. The hall fell silent, and the unkind laughter turned into surprise and admiration. After she finished, Mr. Carter praised her warmly and said the role was just for her. Lila breathed out slowly and smiled sincerely. For the first time, she realized that dreams hidden in notebooks would never come true by themselves. Courage is not the lack of fear, but moving forward bravely even when you are afraid.

A
A recent study released by Greenpeace has highlighted the growing gap in carbon emissions (排放) between different social groups. While the global average annual carbon budget per person is 2.3 tons to avoid disastrous climate change, the distribution of emissions remains extremely unfair. Here are the key statistics from the research.
Population Group
Annual CO2 Emissions per Person (tons)
Days to Use Up Annual Carbon Budget
Main Emission Sources
Top 5% Wealthy
68
12
Private flights, luxury housing, high-consumption lifestyles
Global Middle Class
3.2
262
Car use, household energy, regular travel
Bottom 40% Poor
0.5
839
Basic daily needs, low-energy consumption
The study points out that the top 5% wealthy group, accounting for only a small part of the global population, contributes nearly 40% of the world’s total carbon emissions. Their high-emission lifestyles not only exhaust their own carbon budgets in a short time but also occupy the living space of other groups. In contrast, the bottom 40% poor, who have almost no room for high-consumption, barely use their carbon budgets, yet they are the first to face the threats of rising sea levels, extreme weather, and food shortages caused by climate change.
To address this inequality, Greenpeace calls on governments around the world to carry out “carbon equality policies”: collect higher carbon taxes on high-emission luxury goods and wealthy individuals, and invest the tax revenue (收入) in renewable energy projects and climate adaptation support for poor regions. “Carbon inequality is a matter of justice. Those who emit more should take more responsibility,” said Lena Wang, a researcher at Greenpeace.
21. How many days does it take the global middle class to exhaust their annual carbon budget?
A. 12 days. B. 68 days. C. 262 days. D. 839 days.
22. Who are the main victims of climate change caused by carbon inequality?
A. The top 5% wealthy. B. The bottom 40% poor.
C. The global middle class. D. The 40% working class.
23. What does Lena Wang suggest to solve carbon inequality?
A. Tax major polluters more. B. Reduce the global carbon budget.
C. Limit the number of private flights. D. Provide free energy for poor regions.

When I was eight, my grandma, a lifelong gardener, would let me tag (跟随) along to her backyard plot every Saturday morning. Her hands, gnarled from decades of digging and planting, moved with a quiet grace as she tended to tomatoes, basil, and sunflowers. I’d kneel beside her, dirt under my nails, watching her show me how to gently place seeds in the soil, and how to water just enough without drowning the sprouts (嫩芽).
At first, I was only allowed to pull weeds — small, easy tasks that kept me busy. By twelve, she trusted me to plant rows of lettuce and harvest ripe strawberries. “Gardening isn’t just about growing food,” she’d say, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “It’s about listening to the earth, being patient, and caring for something that grows slow.” Every time a seed I’d planted dried up, she’d kneel down with me, dig it up, and explain what went wrong — too much sun, not enough water — never scolding, only teaching.
As I grew up, gardening apps and online instructors flooded my phone. They promised “perfect vegetable gardens in 30 days” with fancy fertilizers and automated watering systems. But when I tried following them alone, my plants still struggled. The apps skipped the quiet lessons grandma had taught me: how to feel the soil’s moisture (水分) with your fingers, how to spot harmful insects before they spread, and how to talk to your plants like old friends.
Last summer, I planted a small garden in my own apartment balcony. As I dug the soil and placed tomato seeds, I could almost hear grandma’s voice. My harvest wasn’t huge — just a handful of cherry tomatoes and a few basil leaves — but every bite tasted like her. It’s a skill she passed down, not from a screen, but from her hands to mine, rooted in patience and love.
Digital guides can tell you what to do, but they can’t teach you the feel of the earth or the joy of watching something grow because someone cared enough to show you. Real skills stick when they’re passed person to person, step by step, heart to heart.
24. What does the underlined word “gnarled” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Soft and delicate. B. Strong and clean. C. Rough and bent. D. Flexible and smooth.
25. How did Grandma teach the author gardening?
A. By referring to the guidebooks. B. By explaining problems patiently.
C. By criticizing her mistakes strictly. D. By showing fancy gardening tools.
26. What does the author think of gardening apps and online instructors?
A. Impractical. B. Convenient. C. Misleading. D. Informative.
27. What message does the author mainly want to convey?
A. Gardening is a good way to relieve stress.
B. Patience is the key to successful gardening.
C. Digital learning is replacing traditional teaching.
D. Hands-on guidance is vital for mastering real skills.
C
In an era dominated by quick texts and brief emojis, voice notes have quietly emerged as a powerful solution to digital disconnection. Unlike typed messages that remove tone and warmth, a voice note carries the rhythm of a laugh, the softness of a sigh, and the unscripted (即兴的) sincerity of real speech — elements that make human connection feel genuine, even across miles.
I used to avoid sending voice notes, overwhelmed by the fear of sounding awkward or unclear. But after receiving a random voice message from a friend living abroad, filled with the sound of their morning coffee and casual joy, I realized how eager I was for this kind of genuine connection. Such a simple audio greeting brought me more comfort than dozens of well-polished texts and instantly melted the loneliness brought by long-distance separation. Texting feels like a performance, where we edit and polish every word; voice notes let us be messy, human, and truly present for one another.
What makes voice notes special is their non-real-time magic. They let you speak without the pressure of an immediate reply, pour out thoughts at your own pace, and leave a piece of your world for someone to hold onto later. A voice note isn’t just information — it’s a hug in audio form, a reminder that someone is thinking of you deeply enough to share their unedited self.
In a world that values speed over sincerity, choosing a voice note is an act of care. It says, “I value you enough to take the time, to be real, and to bridge the gap between screens with the sound of my voice.” And in that small, intentional choice, we rebuild the human connection that technology so often threatens to erase. These short audio moments turn cold screens into warm conversations and bring hearts closer in our busy modern life.
28. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 2?
A. She seldom talks with distant friends. B. She feared sending voice notes at first.
C. She thought technology hurt relationships. D. She favors quick and thoughtless messages.
29. Why does the author think voice notes are special?
A. They are much faster to send. B. They allow natural expression.
C. They make talks more formal. D. They need immediate replies.
30. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “intentional choice”?
A. Voice notes are more convenient to use.
B. Technology improves connection greatly.
C. Sincere communication takes time and care.
D. People should refuse digital communication.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Voice Notes: Bringing Human Warmth to a Digital World
B. Modern Technology: The Key to Editing Your Words Well
C. Voice Notes: An Instant Messaging Tool for Urgent Business
D. Personal Interactions: Why Speed Matters in Modern Communication
D
Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude improves well-being, but surprisingly, its impact on lifespan (寿命) was unknown. A groundbreaking new study has filled this gap.
Published in July 2024, the study analyzed data from 49,275 women participating in the long-running Nurses’ Health Study. In 2016, when their average age was 79, these women completed a brief six-item questionnaire measuring their sense of gratitude. They indicated their agreement with statements like, “I have so much in life to be thankful for.” Four years later, researchers examined medical records to track who had passed away. Among the participants, 4,608 deaths occurred from various causes, including heart disease, cancer, and other leading illnesses.
The results were striking. Women whose gratitude scores placed them in the top third at the start of the study had a 9% lower risk of dying over the next four years compared to those in the bottom third. This protective effect remained significant even after adjusting for factors like physical health, economic status, and other measures of mental health. Crucially, the benefit appeared across nearly all causes of death, offering some protection against major killers like heart disease.
While the study cannot definitively prove causation, co-author Tyler VanderWeele proposes several explanations. First, feeling grateful simply makes people happier, and happiness itself correlates with longer life. Second, grateful individuals might be more motivated to care for their health, such as attending doctor’s appointments or exercising regularly. Finally, expressing gratitude can strengthen social bonds and increase social support, both of which are known to boost health.
The study was observational. This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists. Furthermore, the study population consisted exclusively of older, primarily white, female nurses with high socioeconomic status. Researchers now wonder whether these findings would apply equally to men, younger people, or those from different economic backgrounds.
32. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By focusing on older adults over 79.
B. By following participants for over a decade.
C. By using a complex survey with many questions.
D. By collecting data via a questionnaire on gratitude.
33. Which of the following does Tyler VanderWeele agree with?
A. Wealthy people accept gratitude more often.
B. People are more motivated to make new friends.
C. Grateful people tend to take better care of themselves.
D. Happy people are more likely to express their gratitude.
34. What does the author imply about the study in the last paragraph?
A. It has some limitations.
B. It contradicts previous studies.
C. Its findings will be applied to other fields.
D. Its participants come from diverse backgrounds.
35. What is the text mainly talking about?
A. The impact of gratitude on lifespan.
B. The role of social support in aging.
C. The ways of practicing gratitude.
D. The significance of well-being.

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。
How to Regain Focus in a World of Distractions
In an era of endless notifications, social media feeds, and multitasking demands, staying focused has become one of the biggest challenges for students and professionals alike. ___36___ You might look quickly at your phone during mid-task, zone out during a meeting, or switch between tabs so often that you lose track of your original goal.
___37___ Many people confuse “being busy” with “being focused.” Busyness means filling your time with tasks, often randomly; focus, by contrast, means directing your full mental energy to one single task at a time. A 2023 Stanford study found that heavy multitaskers are actually worse at blocking out irrelevant information and switching between tasks efficiently than those who focus deeply.
The good news is that focus is a skill you can train, not a fixed quality. ___38___ Start by creating a distraction-free environment: put your phone on silent mode and out of sight, close unnecessary browser (浏览器) tabs, and find a quiet space to work. This physical setup signals to your brain that it’s time to concentrate.
Next, practice the Pomodoro Technique, a proven method for building focus. Work in 25-minute bursts of intense focus, followed by a 5-minute break. ___39___ After four such cycles, take a longer 15-30 minute break to recharge. This structured approach prevents mental tiredness and makes large tasks feel manageable.
Finally, train your brain to resist distractions. When an irrelevant thought or urge to check your phone arises, acknowledge it without acting on it, and then gently redirect your attention back to your task. ___40___ Over time, this mental discipline will strengthen your focus muscle, making it easier to stay on track even in chaotic environments.
A. The short rest refreshes your brain effectively.
B. Many people have trouble keeping focused on tasks.
C. What is focus and how is it different from busyness?
D. Focus improvement requires daily continuous practice.
E. Can we take control of various interruptions around us?
F. Multitasking is seemingly efficient but harmful to focus.
G. This simple act helps improve your mental self-discipline.

Lila nervously squeezed (紧捏) the messy script (剧本) in her pocket. She walked slowly toward the school hall with her best friend Mia, her feet feeling heavy. A wave of fear filled her heart, and she whispered helplessly, “I still can’t believe you signed me up for the drama club play. What if I freeze on stage, forget all my lines, and look stupid in front of everyone?”
For years, Lila had kept her biggest interest a secret. She filled her notebooks with her own scripts, writing gentle and brave stories alone, but she never dared to show anyone. Shy and quiet, she seldom spoke in class. She was afraid that people would laugh at her daydreams and soft imagination.
Mia suddenly stopped and turned to Lila, her eyes warm and sure. She knew all of Lila’s hidden dreams. “You’ve written so many scripts alone in your room,” she said softly but firmly. “You understand stories, you feel the characters deeply, and you know what quiet courage is. No one is more right for the lead role than you. This is your chance to stop hiding.”
Lila held her breath. She knew Mia was right, but just thinking about standing under the bright stage lights with so many eyes watching made her hands sweaty. Fear tightened in her chest.
When they entered the hall, the drama teacher Mr. Carter immediately called the club members together to announce the roles. “After looking at everyone, our lead actress will be Lila.”
As soon as he spoke, surprised whispers and quiet laughs spread through the crowd. “Lila? She’s too shy to answer questions in class. How can she play the lead?” A sharp, unkind laugh cut through the room.
Shame burned on Lila’s face. Her ears buzzed (嗡嗡响), and her courage broke completely. She lowered her head, eyes filled with tears, ready to give up and return the script. She wanted to run away and hide in her safe little world where no one would laugh at her dreams.
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。
Just as she was struggling, Mia came to her.
