Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or new to two-wheeled travel, this annual event goes beyond fun: it’s a purposeful effort to add joy and responsibility to kids’ routines, while building a commitment to planetary health. What Is Bike to School Day? Bike to School Day is a nationwide movement that encourages schools, families, and communities to prioritize active, non-motorized travel for kids. From cities to small towns, participating schools work toward nurturing physical health in children while easing traffic jams and cutting down on pollution from school-run cars. Beyond fresh air and exercise, this event helps people adopt a more mindful approach to daily travel, letting participants play a role in a culture focused on sustainability and public health. Key Details for the Day When: February 7 — following regular school schedules while offering a refreshing break from routine. Where: Your local school; many group rides are organized from set meeting points — check with your school or ride leader for specifics. What to bring: A well-kept bike, a properly fitted helmet (required for safety), a lock, and snacks or water to stay energized. T-shirts: All registered attendees get an exclusive branded T-shirt — not just a keepsake, but a visible sign of your commitment to redefining the school commute as a community experience. How and Why Getting involved is straightforward: fill out the online form to register as a participant. And you will get a chance to win a bike if you post your Bike to School Day journey on social media to share your experience with a wider community. It’s time to cut back on car trips and embrace biking as a way to foster long-term healthy habits, reduce environmental impact, and build a shared sense of adventure. 21. What can we learn about the Bike to School Day? A. It is launched by local schools. B. Participants need to register in groups. C. Participants have to be experienced cyclists. D. It involves schools, families and communities. 22. What should participants do in advance? A. Fill out a paper application. B. Prepare a bike and a helmet. C. Share the event notice online. D. Ask for leave from the school. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To propose a nationwide initiative. B. To highlight the benefits of cycling. C. To raise awareness of travelling green. D. To encourage participation in an event. B There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, who contributes little to the chat. That friend is me. When a new group chat is created, the members will inevitably come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within a matter of hours. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to important work emails. “Call me instead,” I tell my friends. “I’m a much better caller.” If it’s urgent, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and categorise it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. Say a friend messages me, asking for my thoughts about a new album. I’ll read it, automatically reply in my head — “I love it” — but mentally file it away in the non-urgent cabinet, telling myself that I’ll tend to that non-urgent filing cabinet as soon as possible. Then I will be typing another email — and absolutely forgetting to revisit that non-urgent cabinet. My declaration of love for the album arrives very, very late. I want to stress I do love my friends and I am grateful to be included in all of the group chats. I simply find it overwhelming to keep up with the never-ending stream of message notifications. In these moments, the message notifications often fall by the wayside, my friends’ messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like abandoning my phone and zoning out. Not to be dramatic. I recently asked one of my friends how they felt about my bad texting habits. She’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth. She said, “The truth is that we knew we had reached a new level of love and companionship when we accepted how terrible you are at replying and chose to embrace it.” “To be fair,” she added, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down, you always show up when we need you, you never flake or cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us. We can handle the group chat radio silence in return for that kind of friendship.” At this moment, I think about each friend’s role in the group — the prolific messenger, the caller, the nonresponder — and how we all communicate and contribute to the group in different ways. All expressing love in different ways, too. 24. Why does the author often fail to respond to messages timely? A. She thinks non-urgent messages not worth replying to. B. She finds group conversations exhausting and boring. C. She prioritizes work emails over personal messages. D. She mentally responds but forgets to actually reply. 25. What can we know about the author’s friends? A. They give up on judging each other. B. They learn to accept her the way she is. C. They adapt to her preference for phone calls. D. They complain about her sugarcoated excuses. 26. Which word would best describe the author’s role in her friendship? A. Reliable. B. Independent. C. Difficult. D. Insincere. 27. What does the author mainly convey in the passage? A. A late reply is better than no response. B. Love speaks more than one language. C. Non-responders deserve more love. D. Actions speak louder than words. C If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one.” But is it? From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth? This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He formulated the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words: don’t make stuff up. In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature”? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth. When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer. Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books pondering why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet. Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. 28. Occam’s razor indicates that_________. A. simpler explanations should be preferred B. reasonable explanations can’t be surprising C. explanations should be consistent with purposes D. sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Newton offered solid empirical support to Occam’s razor. B. The tobacco industry’s response is in line with Occam’s razor. C. Quantum mechanics confirms Newton’s particle theory of light. D. Ethicists argue human complexity results in multiple motivations. 30. It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________. A. follow the laws of nature B. interpret the world as it is C. balance accuracy and simplicity D. highlight the existence of entities D For almost two centuries, newspapers have been on a journey into the mass market which gave them scale, reputation and profit but which has now reached its end. They mostly abandoned dependence on subscriptions and instead sold below production cost as a way to attract readers to sell to advertisers. Since the Internet took off, the print media’s advertising-supported business model has suffered. In the past 20 years, newspapers’ ad profits have fallen by about 80%, while circulation has roughly fallen by half. Though online traffic has risen, profit from digital advertising has failed to offset (抵消) the profit draining out of print. “Platforms have become the new kings of the media landscape,” says the Competition and Markets Authority, a regulator. This power shift has led newspapers in many countries to turn to authorities for help. Partly because they have, by their very nature, a loud voice, they have generated sympathy. How much they deserve it is another matter. The world is filled with businesses torn apart by the digital revolution without anyone rushing to the rescue. Why are newspapers different? One argument is that a thriving press supports grass-roots journalism, which, though often loss-making, supports fairness and equality. That is reasonable. Yet it is mixed with other motivations, such as the desire to choke the tech giants. The result is a range of interventions aimed at putting the pressure on big tech. Mindful of the outcry, big tech is offering a handout, promising $1bn over three years to newspapers to provide news content for its site. Some publishers saw it as an unstated admission that big tech should pay for news. If anything, the gratitude for big tech’s generosity shows how desperate newspapers are for payment of any kind. More to the point, it will not change the underlying economics of the global newspaper industry. That is because the ad-funded business model was living on fumes even before the Internet ate the world this century. Data show that newspapers have been losing share of ad dollars to TV since the 1950s — long before the web. Circulation has also fallen relative to population, suggesting that profits were supported by economic and population growth, not because the industry was producing a more popular product. Claims that the tech giants are robbing newspapers for profit sound far-fetched, too. The real failure is that papers have lost control of distribution to platforms, making it harder to monetise the traffic. This is a mistake some content industries, such as video-streaming and music, have avoided. Moreover, some of the advertising dollars made by big tech came from bringing new firms into the market, rather than taking online advertisers from newspapers. So ignore the complaining of old-media companies in distress and look instead at how some newspapers have already adapted to the digital invasion. Also some digital publications with a newsworthy focus are thriving. The question of who pays for public-interest journalism remains unanswered. But few think it ought to be tech giants. That would “undermine the principles of an independent press”. 31. Why does the author cite the statistics in Paragraph 2? A. To prove the decline of print media. B. To emphasize the popularity of platforms. C. To indicate the importance of digital advertising. D. To demonstrate the inconsistency in subscriptions. 32. The underlined phrase “was living on fumes” in Paragraph 6 probably means ______. A. was taking off B. was moving forward C. was falling apart D. was struggling along 33. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. The platform should support grass-roots journalism. B. The old media should produce marketable products. C. New online advertisers should be introduced. D. Effective interventions should be made. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Where is the Digital Age leading the press? B. Are online platforms really a way out? C. How the Internet impacts old media? D. Should big tech save newspapers? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? ____35____ It’s a wellness practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize them. Earthing techniques focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. ____36____ Find ways to connect your bare feet with the ground and pay attention to the feeling of the land beneath your feet. Play in the dirt: Dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt. ____37____ That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk. Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. ____38____ Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain. If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. ____39____. It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements. While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of a self-care routine. A. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick fix. B. That’s the idea behind earthing, also known as grounding. C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors. D. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment. E. Experts suggest 30 minutes is enough time to begin enjoying the benefits. F. These methods include taking a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud. G. Research shows a connection between earthing and measurable improvements in these health issues. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 With climate change and rapid urbanization, many cities are at the serious risk of flooding. To tackle this problem, Chinese researchers first proposed the “sponge city” concept — an urban planning strategy that uses nature to sustainably manage water, reducing reliance on concrete pipes and dams. How do sponge cities work? These cities combine sustainable technologies and functional landscaping, including pavements that allow water to go down into the ground; urban parks and green spaces that act as places to hold water during heavy rain and as recreational zones during dry periods; urban wetlands that naturally filter water and promote biodiversity; waterways and channels that are linked together to efficiently transport and store water. All these elements transform the urban landscape into a “sponge” capable of absorbing and releasing water according to climate conditions. The benefits of the sponge city approach are diverse. Beyond its primary function of reducing flood risk and easing pressure on drainage systems, this strategy significantly enhances urban livability. How is this possible? It creates extensive green zones that expand healthy public spaces for recreation, improve air quality, and support increased urban biodiversity. This urban planning model has achieved widespread international recognition. In China, it was officially adopted as a nationwide policy in 2014, with cities like Wuhan and Beijing leading implementation efforts. Following devastating floods of a 2011 storm, the city of Copenhagen launched its own sponge city transformation plan. Fundamental to the strategy are green infrastructure (基础设施) elements, such as redesigned parks that serve as retention basins during heavy rains, along with blue infrastructure like the city’s extensive canal network to channel and store excess water. The sponge city strategy signals a smarter way forward in city-building: greener, more resilient, and matched to today’s environmental challenges. At its core, it’s more than a fix for climate chaos — it’s an investment in the well-being of future generations. 40. According to the passage, what does the “sponge city” concept refer to? ________________________________________________________________ 41. What are the benefits of the sponge city approach? ________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

That friend is me. When a new group chat is created, the members will inevitably come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within a matter of hours. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to important work emails. “Call me instead,” I tell my friends. “I’m a much better caller.” If it’s urgent, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and categorise it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. Say a friend messages me, asking for my thoughts about a new album. I’ll read it, automatically reply in my head — “I love it” — but mentally file it away in the non-urgent cabinet, telling myself that I’ll tend to that non-urgent filing cabinet as soon as possible. Then I will be typing another email — and absolutely forgetting to revisit that non-urgent cabinet. My declaration of love for the album arrives very, very late. I want to stress I do love my friends and I am grateful to be included in all of the group chats. I simply find it overwhelming to keep up with the never-ending stream of message notifications. In these moments, the message notifications often fall by the wayside, my friends’ messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like abandoning my phone and zoning out. Not to be dramatic. I recently asked one of my friends how they felt about my bad texting habits. She’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth. She said, “The truth is that we knew we had reached a new level of love and companionship when we accepted how terrible you are at replying and chose to embrace it.” “To be fair,” she added, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down, you always show up when we need you, you never flake or cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us. We can handle the group chat radio silence in return for that kind of friendship.” At this moment, I think about each friend’s role in the group — the prolific messenger, the caller, the nonresponder — and how we all communicate and contribute to the group in different ways. All expressing love in different ways, too. 24. Why does the author often fail to respond to messages timely? A. She thinks non-urgent messages not worth replying to. B. She finds group conversations exhausting and boring. C. She prioritizes work emails over personal messages. D. She mentally responds but forgets to actually reply. 25. What can we know about the author’s friends? A. They give up on judging each other. B. They learn to accept her the way she is. C. They adapt to her preference for phone calls. D. They complain about her sugarcoated excuses. 26. Which word would best describe the author’s role in her friendship? A. Reliable. B. Independent. C. Difficult. D. Insincere. 27. What does the author mainly convey in the passage? A. A late reply is better than no response. B. Love speaks more than one language. C. Non-responders deserve more love. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者不擅长及时回复消息，但真心珍视朋友，朋友也包容她的习惯；她明白友谊之爱有不同的表达方式。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ll read it, automatically reply in my head — “I love it” — but mentally file it away in the non-urgent cabinet, telling myself that I’ll tend to that non-urgent filing cabinet as soon as possible. Then I will be typing another email — and absolutely forgetting to revisit that non-urgent cabinet.(我会看到这条消息，在心里自动回复“我喜欢它”，但在心里把它归入非紧急信息类别，告诉自己会尽快处理这些非紧急信息。然后我会去写另一封邮件，并且完全忘记再去查看这些非紧急信息。)”可知，作者会在心里进行回复，但是之后会忘记真正发出文字回复，因此作者经常不能及时回复消息。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“The truth is that we knew we had reached a new level of love and companionship when we accepted how terrible you are at replying and chose to embrace it.(事实是，当我们接受了你回复消息很不及时这件事并且选择包容你时，我们就知道我们的友情和陪伴已经达到了新的高度。)”可知，作者的朋友接受了她不及时回复消息的特点，因此我们可以了解到作者的朋友学会了接受她原本的样子。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down, you always show up when we need you, you never flake or cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us.(等我们终于从你这里得到准信儿时 —— 你总是那么靠谱，我们需要时你总会出现，从不爽约、从不临时取消，还常常开车 40 分钟穿城来看我们。)”可知，作者在朋友需要时总能可靠地出现并提供陪伴，因此最能描述作者在友谊中角色的词语是可靠的。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是最后一段“At this moment, I think about each friend’s role in the group — the prolific messenger, the caller, the nonresponder — and how we all communicate and contribute to the group in different ways. All expressing love in different ways, too.(在这一刻，我想到了每个朋友在群体中的角色 —— 频繁发消息的人、打电话的人、不回复消息的人，以及我们所有人如何用不同的方式交流并为友情付出。我们也都在用不同的方式表达爱。)”可知，作者想要表达爱有多种不同的表达方式。故选B项。 C If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one.” But is it? From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth? This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He formulated the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words: don’t make stuff up. In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature”? Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out? Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth. When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer. Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books pondering why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet. Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were. 28. Occam’s razor indicates that_________. A. simpler explanations should be preferred B. reasonable explanations can’t be surprising C. explanations should be consistent with purposes D. sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. Newton offered solid empirical support to Occam’s razor. B. The tobacco industry’s response is in line with Occam’s razor. C. Quantum mechanics confirms Newton’s particle theory of light. D. Ethicists argue human complexity results in multiple motivations. 30. It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________. A. follow the laws of nature B. interpret the world as it is C. balance accuracy and simplicity D. highlight the existence of entities 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了“奥卡姆剃刀”认为最简单的解释最接近真相，但牛顿的理论及物理中光的解释、生物学中吸烟与癌症的关系表明，自然和人类事务都很复杂。奥卡姆剃刀是形而上学原则，科学应让事物自然展现，真相往往并非简单，不应一味追求简单的解释。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one.”(如果你曾经和科学家在一起，你很可能会听到他们中的一个人说：“最好的解释是最简单的。”)”以及第二段“He formulated the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.”(他提出了这样一个原则：“如无必要，勿增实体”)”可知，奥卡姆剃刀理论表明，更简单的解释更可取。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation? For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer.(当我们转向生物学时，事情变得更加复杂。想象一下，有两个吸烟者，他们每天吸一包烟，持续了30年。一个得了癌症；另一个没有。最简单的解释是什么？几十年来，烟草行业的答案是吸烟不会致癌。简单但错误。事实上，疾病是复杂的，我们还不了解与癌症有关的所有因素)”可知，烟草业用“吸烟不致癌”这一简单但错误的解释，虽违背事实，但其逻辑符合奥卡姆剃刀的表面原则（优先简单解释）。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were.(我们的解释应该尽可能符合现实。科学是关于让事物自然展开的，有时这意味着接受事实并不简单，即使事实简单会让我们的生活更容易)”可知，我们需要如实地解读世界。故选B。 D For almost two centuries, newspapers have been on a journey into the mass market which gave them scale, reputation and profit but which has now reached its end. They mostly abandoned dependence on subscriptions and instead sold below production cost as a way to attract readers to sell to advertisers. Since the Internet took off, the print media’s advertising-supported business model has suffered. In the past 20 years, newspapers’ ad profits have fallen by about 80%, while circulation has roughly fallen by half. Though online traffic has risen, profit from digital advertising has failed to offset (抵消) the profit draining out of print. “Platforms have become the new kings of the media landscape,” says the Competition and Markets Authority, a regulator. This power shift has led newspapers in many countries to turn to authorities for help. Partly because they have, by their very nature, a loud voice, they have generated sympathy. How much they deserve it is another matter. The world is filled with businesses torn apart by the digital revolution without anyone rushing to the rescue. Why are newspapers different? One argument is that a thriving press supports grass-roots journalism, which, though often loss-making, supports fairness and equality. That is reasonable. Yet it is mixed with other motivations, such as the desire to choke the tech giants. The result is a range of interventions aimed at putting the pressure on big tech. Mindful of the outcry, big tech is offering a handout, promising $1bn over three years to newspapers to provide news content for its site. Some publishers saw it as an unstated admission that big tech should pay for news. If anything, the gratitude for big tech’s generosity shows how desperate newspapers are for payment of any kind. More to the point, it will not change the underlying economics of the global newspaper industry. That is because the ad-funded business model was living on fumes even before the Internet ate the world this century. Data show that newspapers have been losing share of ad dollars to TV since the 1950s — long before the web. Circulation has also fallen relative to population, suggesting that profits were supported by economic and population growth, not because the industry was producing a more popular product. Claims that the tech giants are robbing newspapers for profit sound far-fetched, too. The real failure is that papers have lost control of distribution to platforms, making it harder to monetise the traffic. This is a mistake some content industries, such as video-streaming and music, have avoided. Moreover, some of the advertising dollars made by big tech came from bringing new firms into the market, rather than taking online advertisers from newspapers. So ignore the complaining of old-media companies in distress and look instead at how some newspapers have already adapted to the digital invasion. Also some digital publications with a newsworthy focus are thriving. The question of who pays for public-interest journalism remains unanswered. But few think it ought to be tech giants. That would “undermine the principles of an independent press”. 31. Why does the author cite the statistics in Paragraph 2? A. To prove the decline of print media. B. To emphasize the popularity of platforms. C. To indicate the importance of digital advertising. D. To demonstrate the inconsistency in subscriptions. 32. The underlined phrase “was living on fumes” in Paragraph 6 probably means ______. A. was taking off B. was moving forward C. was falling apart D. was struggling along 33. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. The platform should support grass-roots journalism. B. The old media should produce marketable products. C. New online advertisers should be introduced. D. Effective interventions should be made. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Where is the Digital Age leading the press? B. Are online platforms really a way out? C. How the Internet impacts old media? D. Should big tech save newspapers? 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. B 34. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，作者批驳了报纸业“支持草根新闻业是在支持公平和公正”、“科技巨头正在掠夺报纸利润”这两种观点，揭露报纸行业的本质问题在其自身而非数字平台的冲击，并建议报纸业应提升内容质量从而实现自救。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past 20 years, newspapers’ ad profits have fallen by about 80%, while circulation has roughly fallen by half.(在过去的20年里，报纸的广告利润下降了大约80%，而发行量大约下降了一半)”可知，此处引用数据是为了证明印刷媒体的衰落，故选A。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“Data show that newspapers have been losing share of ad dollars to TV since the 1950s — long before the web. Circulation has also fallen relative to population(数据显示，自20世纪50年代以来——早在网络出现之前——报纸的广告收入份额就一直在输给电视。发行量相对于人口也有所下降)”可知，早在网络出现之前报纸的广告收入份额就一直在输给电视。发行量相对于人口也有所下降，由此推知划线短语所在句意为“这是因为即使在本世纪互联网吞噬世界之前，广告资助的商业模式就已经难以为继了”，was living on fumes意为“在困难中坚持，勉力维持”，故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Circulation has also fallen relative to population, suggesting that profits were supported by economic and population growth, not because the industry was producing a more popular product.(发行量相对于人口也有所下降，这表明利润是由经济和人口增长支撑的，而不是因为该行业在生产更受欢迎的产品)”可知，旧媒体应该生产适销对路的产品，故选B。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“The question of who pays for public-interest journalism remains unanswered. But few think it ought to be tech giants. That would ‘undermine the principles of an independent press’.(谁为公共新闻买单的问题仍然没有答案。但很少有人认为应该是科技巨头。这将‘破坏新闻独立的原则’)”可知，作者批驳了报纸业“支持草根新闻业是在支持公平和公正”、“科技巨头正在掠夺报纸利润”这两种观点，揭露报纸行业的本质问题在其自身而非数字平台的冲击，并建议报纸业应提升内容质量从而实现自救，D项“科技巨头应该拯救报纸吗？”最适合作为标题，故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? ____35____ It’s a wellness practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize them. Earthing techniques focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. ____36____ Find ways to connect your bare feet with the ground and pay attention to the feeling of the land beneath your feet. Play in the dirt: Dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt. ____37____ That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk. Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. ____38____ Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain. If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. ____39____. It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements. While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of a self-care routine. A. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick fix. B. That’s the idea behind earthing, also known as grounding. C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors. D. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment. E. Experts suggest 30 minutes is enough time to begin enjoying the benefits. F. These methods include taking a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud. G. Research shows a connection between earthing and measurable improvements in these health issues. 【答案】35. B 36. F 37. C 38. E 39. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“接地疗法”的概念、具体方式、室内替代方案、对身心健康的益处，以及尝试该疗法时需要注意的相关事项。 【35题详解】 根据前文“Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand?(你赤脚在草地或沙滩上散步后，会不会感觉稍微放松一些？)” 以及空后一句“It’s a wellness practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize them.(这是一种健康养生方式，能让人体与地球直接相连，并利用地球自然电荷稳定身体状态。)”可知，前文提出赤脚行走放松的问题，后文解释这种养生方式，空处需要引出接地疗法这一概念；选项B“That’s the idea behind earthing, also known as grounding.(这就是接地疗法背后的理念，也被称为大地接地养生法。)” 衔接前后语境，符合逻辑。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Earthing techniques focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact.(接地疗法重在通过直接或间接接触，让自身能量与大地重新连通。)”以及空后“Find ways to connect your bare feet with the ground and pay attention to the feeling of the land beneath your feet. Play in the dirt: Dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers.(试着让赤脚直接接触地面，用心感受脚下大地的触感。玩一玩泥土：俯身挖土，让泥土从指间流过。)”可知，前文总说接地的接触方式，后文列举具体做法，空处应总述这类具体方法；选项F“These methods include taking a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud.(这些方法包括在草地、沙滩或泥土上散步。)” 承接上文、引出下文。 【37题详解】 根据空后“That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk.(这可以替代你在户外赤脚所能获得的直接大地连接。接地地毯、毛毯和袜子，通过模拟户外自然行走时的身体连通方式，把大地的自然电流引入家中或办公室。)” 可知，后文讲述室内替代接地方式，空处应引出室内接地的话题；选项C“When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors.(当无法外出时，可在室内进行接地养生。)”与后文内容紧密呼应。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being.(接地疗法是一种免费且相对简单、能积极影响身心健康的方式。)”以及空后“Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep.(研究显示，使用四周接地地毯的人疲惫感、睡眠障碍减少，睡眠时间有所提升。)”可知，前文点明有益健康，后文用研究举例佐证，空处可补充适宜的养生时长；选项E“Experts suggest 30 minutes is enough time to begin enjoying the benefits.(专家建议30分钟就足以开始享受它带来的益处。)” 衔接自然。 【39题详解】 根据前文“If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember.(如果你想尝试接地疗法，有几点重要事项需要牢记。)”以及空后“It requires patience and perseverance.(这需要耐心和坚持。)” 可知，后文强调需要耐心坚持，说明这种疗法不能立刻见效；选项A“Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick fix.(和其他调理方式一样，接地疗法并非立竿见影。)” 契合后文需要耐心坚持的语境。 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 With climate change and rapid urbanization, many cities are at the serious risk of flooding. To tackle this problem, Chinese researchers first proposed the “sponge city” concept — an urban planning strategy that uses nature to sustainably manage water, reducing reliance on concrete pipes and dams. How do sponge cities work? These cities combine sustainable technologies and functional landscaping, including pavements that allow water to go down into the ground; urban parks and green spaces that act as places to hold water during heavy rain and as recreational zones during dry periods; urban wetlands that naturally filter water and promote biodiversity; waterways and channels that are linked together to efficiently transport and store water. All these elements transform the urban landscape into a “sponge” capable of absorbing and releasing water according to climate conditions. The benefits of the sponge city approach are diverse. Beyond its primary function of reducing flood risk and easing pressure on drainage systems, this strategy significantly enhances urban livability. How is this possible? It creates extensive green zones that expand healthy public spaces for recreation, improve air quality, and support increased urban biodiversity. This urban planning model has achieved widespread international recognition. In China, it was officially adopted as a nationwide policy in 2014, with cities like Wuhan and Beijing leading implementation efforts. Following devastating floods of a 2011 storm, the city of Copenhagen launched its own sponge city transformation plan. Fundamental to the strategy are green infrastructure (基础设施) elements, such as redesigned parks that serve as retention basins during heavy rains, along with blue infrastructure like the city’s extensive canal network to channel and store excess water. The sponge city strategy signals a smarter way forward in city-building: greener, more resilient, and matched to today’s environmental challenges. At its core, it’s more than a fix for climate chaos — it’s an investment in the well-being of future generations. 40.

It creates extensive green zones that expand healthy public spaces for recreation, improve air quality, and support increased urban biodiversity.(除了降低洪水风险和缓解排水系统压力的主要功能外，该策略还显著提升了城市宜居性。它创造了广阔的绿地，扩大了健康的休闲公共空间，改善了空气质量，并支持了城市生物多样性的增加。)”可知，海绵城市模式降低了洪水风险，减轻了排水系统的压力，提高了城市的宜居性。故答案为It reduces flood risk, eases pressure on drainage systems, and enhances urban livability. 【42题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段“Fundamental to the strategy are green infrastructure (基础设施) elements, such as redesigned parks that serve as retention basins during heavy rains, along with blue infrastructure like the city’s extensive canal network to channel and store excess water. (该战略的基础是绿色基础设施要素，如重新设计的公园，在暴雨期间充当蓄水池，以及蓝色基础设施，如该市广泛的运河网络，用于引导和储存多余的水)”可知，哥本哈根的海绵城市转型计划涉及重新设计和利用其运河网络。故答案为The sponge city transformation plan of Copenhagen involves building new parks and making use of its canal network. The sponge city transformation plan of Copenhagen involves redesigning and making use of its canal network. 【43题详解】 考查开放性表达。要求围绕“让城市更宜居”提出文章未提及的方法，答案不唯一，合理即可。我们可以优化公共交通，减少交通堵塞和污染，增加小型图书馆等社区设施，推广垃圾分类，保护城市生态环境。故答案为We can optimize public transport to cut traffic jams and pollution, add community facilities like small libraries, and promote garbage classification to protect the urban ecological environment. 第二节 应用文写作（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校英国留学生Jim最近在学习汉语的过程中遇到了困难，希望你就此困难给他一些学习汉语的建议，请你给Jim回信，提出你的建议，内容包括： 1．表示理解和安慰； 2．给出你的建议和理由。 注意：1．词数100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Possible version: Dear Jim, It’s great to know that you have begun to learn Chinese!
