In fact, after — tracking-70 bears between 2016 and 2022, experts found survival rates for young grizzlies in the Elk Valley are the lowest recorded in North America. Causes of grizzly deaths Deaths of the 15 tracked bears during that period: Challenges to human-bear coexistence in the Elk Valley Measures taken Since April 2024, the government has taken effort to help humans and bears share the landscape. One of the most effective tools is electric fencing, which reduces damage to infrastructure (基础设施) by 80%-100%. It keeps bears away from attractants like garbage, which reduces conflicts. These simple,low-cost measures are saving lives — on both sides. As someone puts it,“Coexistence is a two-way street.If we want bears to survive, we have to be willing to change, too.” 1. How many tracked grizzlies died due to human-related causes? A. 40%. B. 46.6%. C. 86.6%. D. 93.3%. 2. Why is the number of grizzlies stable in the Elk Valley? A. Their death rate decreases. B. Some learn to travel safely. C. Their survival gets protected. D. Some move in from nearby. 3. What is the main function of electric fencing? A. Saving humans from bears. B. Preventing conflict and loss. C. Letting bears trust humans. D. Cutting the bear control cost. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了麋鹿谷（Elk Valley）灰熊的生存现状、与人熊共存的挑战与应对措施。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据柱状图可知，与人类相关的原因：Conflict with Humans（与人类发生冲突） 46.6% + Vehicle Crashes（车辆撞击） 40%，由此可知，计算总和46.6%+40%=86.6%。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据右侧文本框“There has been little change to the bear population in the Elk Valley, which is actually supported by the arrival of bears from neighboring wilder areas. But these bears are young and tend to cause conflicts.(麋鹿谷的灰熊数量几乎没有变化，这实际上是由周边野生区域的灰熊迁入支撑的。但这些灰熊多为幼熊，容易引发冲突。)”可知，麋鹿谷的灰熊数量保持稳定的原因是部分灰熊从周边迁入。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the most effective tools is electric fencing, which reduces damage to infrastructure by 80%-100%. It keeps bears away from attractants like garbage, which reduces conflicts. These simple, low-cost measures are saving lives — on both sides.(最有效的工具之一是电围栏，可减少 80%-100% 的基础设施损坏；它将灰熊隔绝在垃圾等吸引物之外，减少冲突；这些低成本措施拯救了双方的生命。)”可知，电围栏的主要功能是预防冲突和损失。故选B。 B I started my first sewing class when I was 10 years old. Despite the fact that I grew up sewing with family members, it was left on the sidelines as my life took on new interests and challenges. I didn’t own a sewing machine (缝纫机), so my sewing ideas and projects got filed under “when I have time and a sewing machine in the future”. I rarely got around to them. Years ago, I decided that I would do my best not to buy new things, especially clothes. What started as a no-buy challenge led to finding the joy and excitement again, which I experience when I engage in crafts like darning (缝补). While I had sewing experience, darning was new to me. I got my first darning needles at a local shop called Spun to practise darning some old socks with holes. The people working there told me about community meetings that they host for people who like darning. A few days later, I came back because I was eager to show someone how my first darning project turned out. They gave me the biggest smile and praise for what I achieved. What I discovered was not just a way to save my clothes or a new skill, but a community of darning lovers who are excited to welcome new people so they can experience darning and crafting together. The interest alone was enough for one to gain access and many were eager to help out beginners and share the joy, driving away the loneliness and anxiety about lacking skills. I have darning projects that I am embarrassed about, but the quality does not matter, especially for a beginner. You can always begin with small tasks on clothes you only wear at home, not forcing yourself to complete them without faults. It’s all about taking a moment to think about the objects you own and adopting a practice of not throwing something away without considering a way of darning creatively. 4. What made the author start darning? A. Experiences in a sewing class. B. The access to a sewing machine. C. Memories of family members. D. The determination to stop purchases. 5. Why did the author return to Spun? A. To learn darning from others. B. To get more darning tools. C. To present her darning progress. D. To join a darning community. 6. What does the author think of the darning lovers according to paragraph 4? A. Friendly and enthusiastic. B. Inspiring but lonely. C. Creative and hardworking. D. Professional but modest. 7. What does the author advise beginners to do? A. Focus on the quality. B. Reuse clothes cautiously. C. Practise darning at home. D. Accept the imperfections. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者因不再购置新衣物开始学习缝补，在缝补爱好者社群收获陪伴，同时分享给初学者的相关建议。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Years ago, I decided that I would do my best not to buy new things, especially clothes. What started as a no‑buy challenge led to finding the joy and excitement again, which I experience when I engage in crafts like darning.(多年以前，我决定要尽量不去买新物品，尤其是衣服。一开始只是一项不买东西的挑战，结果却让我再次找到了那份快乐与兴奋，这是我做织补这类手工时所能感受到的。)”可知，作者开始缝补是源于自己停止购买新物品的决心。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A few days later, I came back because I was eager to show someone how my first darning project turned out.(几天之后，我又回到这家店铺，因为我迫切想要向别人展示自己第一次缝补作品的成果。)”可知，作者重返这家店是为了展示自己缝补取得的进展。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What I discovered was not just a way to save my clothes or a new skill, but a community of darning lovers who are excited to welcome new people so they can experience darning and crafting together. The interest alone was enough for one to gain access and many were eager to help out beginners and share the joy, driving away the loneliness and anxiety about lacking skills.(我所收获的不只是修补衣物的方法或是一项新技能，还有一个织补爱好者社群。他们十分乐于接纳新人，一同体验织补与手工创作。仅凭这份兴趣，人们便能融入其中，许多人热心帮助新手、分享这份乐趣，驱散了因技艺不足而产生的孤独与焦虑。)”可知，在作者眼中缝补爱好者待人友善、十分热情。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I have darning projects that I am embarrassed about, but the quality does not matter, especially for a beginner. You can always begin with small tasks on clothes you only wear at home, not forcing yourself to complete them without faults.(我也有让自己难为情的缝补作品，但质量并不重要，对初学者尤其如此。可以先用居家衣物做简单练习，不必强迫自己做到完美无缺。)”可知，作者建议初学者要接受作品的不完美。 C Do audiobooks (有声读物) qualify as reading? There is a pride in being well read. Admitting you have only listened to a book usually sounds like an apology. I used to feel the same way. Years ago, sitting in an airport bar, I noticed a man scrolling through his phone as a robotic voice read every word aloud at high speed. At first, I thought it was meaningless. Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes. Because I have a reading disorder, reading has never come easy. Later, I tried a similar feature on my phone. For the first time, I could effortlessly absorb ideas and focus in a way I hadn’t before. Reading builds understanding, focus and critical thinking. However, there has been a drop of more than 40% in daily reading for pleasure in America over the past two decades. Meanwhile, listening to books is on the rise. Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth. So maybe removing the prejudice against audiobooks gives us a better way to think about what reading really is. The brains of people reading or listening to the same stories actually process meaning in almost the same way. Casual or distracted listening, like playing an audiobook while doing chores, doesn’t appear to engage people fully. But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities. Tens of millions of people now listen as they follow the text. Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there. 8. What changed the author’s attitude towards listening to books? A. His reading disorder. B. A blind man’s way of reading. C. His love for audiobooks. D. A new phone function. 9. What does the data in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Audiobooks add more pleasure to Americans’ daily reading. B. Audiobooks have changed people’s attitudes toward reading. C. Audiobooks are replacing print and e-books in the market. D. Audiobooks have become a key force in book market growth. 10. What does attentive listening bring according to paragraph 4? A. A guaranteed comprehension boost. B. The best meaning-processing way. C. A likely cure for reading disabilities. D. The same effect as print reading. 11. What does the author indicate about reading in the last paragraph? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者由观察一位盲人用手机听书的经历而改变对有声读物的偏见，指出听书与纸质阅读在大脑处理意义上几乎相同，无论用眼睛读、用耳朵听还是两者结合都算阅读，重要的是文字进入大脑、成为读者。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes.(后来我意识到他是一位盲人，正在使用功能手机。当我看着他——全神贯注于文字，领会其中含义——时，我突然想到他和我用眼睛阅读的方式是一样的。)”可知，是一位盲人的阅读方式触动了作者，使其改变了对听书的态度。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth.(去年全国有声读物销售额约达22亿美元；过去五年图书馆有声读物流通量增长了65%，而纸质书和电子书流通量持平。显然，在推动增长方面有声读物已超过电子书。)”可知，有声读物销量与流通量大幅攀升，纸质书和电子书则停滞不前。由此推知，有声读物已成为图书市场增长的关键力量。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities.(但专心倾听可以和纸质阅读一样有益——对有阅读障碍的人甚至更好。)”可知，专心倾听与纸质阅读具有相同的效果。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there.(无论我们是用眼睛读、用耳朵读还是两者都用，这都算数。重要的是文字进入，大脑产生意义，并且作为读者的身份扎根下来。我们需要更多的读者，无论他们如何到达那里。)”可知，作者认为阅读的途径并不重要，重要的是阅读本身及其最终效果。由此推知，这应了“条条大路通罗马”之意。 D Our bodies weren’t made to sit for hours in a classroom. That may be why many kids struggle to stay focused in school, often losing track of lessons. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems. Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment. It uses short periods of heart-beating activity with short breaks in between. For example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hops and kicks. They described it in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, a leading academic journal. Twenty-five students aged 9 to 12 tried out the program. At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rode an exercise bike or watched a short video. After each activity, participants did some tests. One test showed five fish in a line on a screen, and kids had to note which direction the center fish faced. Other tests focused on math or language skills. During the fish test, the team noticed a change in what Drollette calls “the uh-oh mechanism” — when you realize you made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that response, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains more efficient at processing information. Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout. But they did a little worse at math. That could be from tiredness, which tends to affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drollette says. Being active can help with both mental and physical health, says Drollette. His recommendation: “Find opportunities to stand up and get moving, even for a few minutes, to keep your brain sharp and your body healthy.” 12. What is the nine-minute program designed for? A. Helping students get better at focusing. B. Training students’ physical strength. C. Making students more active in sports. D. Assisting students to relax after class. 13. What were the 25 students required to do in Drollette’s lab? A. They only did high-intensity exercise. B. They wore equipment to record brain activity. C. They did tests before doing any activity. D. They watched videos for a long time. 14. What effect did high-intensity break exercise have on students? A. It made students better at math. B. It reduced students’ tiredness. C. It improved students’ language tests. D. It made students’ brains slower. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Short Breaks: A Cure for Students’ Tiredness B. High-Intensity Break Exercises: A Way to Improve Math C. Short Breaks: A Solution to Building Health D. High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述短时高强度课间运动可提升学生专注力，但对数学能力有轻微负面影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems.(高强度课间运动可以帮助学生更好地集中注意力。新研究表明，短短几分钟的运动就能改善大脑功能与学习效率，为课堂专注力难题提供了简便的解决办法。)”和第二段中“Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment.(运动专家埃里克·德洛莱特就职于北卡罗来纳大学格林斯伯勒分校，他想知道提升专注力所需的最短运动时长。他带领团队设计了一套时长九分钟的高强度课间运动方案，无需额外器械，在教室内即可完成。)”可知，该项目旨在帮助学生提升专注力。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time.(在德洛莱特的实验室里，他们佩戴心率监测器和脑电图帽，实时记录大脑活动。)”可知，学生需要佩戴记录大脑活动的设备。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout.(学生们在高强度运动过后，语言测试的表现也变得更好。)”可知，该运动提升了学生语言测试成绩。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better.(高强度课间运动可以帮助学生更好地集中注意力。)”可知，全文围绕高强度课间运动助力学生专注力展开。“High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus(高强度课间运动：学生集中注意力的辅助方法)”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Raised in a home where tension surfaced from time to time, I realized from a young age that the house wasn’t always comforting. ____16____ I spent hours exploring the woods behind my house. I filled my pockets with smooth rocks. I walked on piles of fallen leaves, letting the sound and feel under my feet comfort me. Before I had the language or understanding of it, I built my own wellness regimen (养生法) around wild places. Outside, birds fly; flowers come out; rivers rush by and waves crash against the beach and return to the sea. ____17____ Maybe, I thought, I could grow, change and rebuild my life too. ____18____ Hippocrates, the father of medicine in the fourth century B.C., stressed nature’s ability to heal us. In recent decades, scientific studies have related going outdoors to improved mental health. In fact, a field of research called “ecopsychology” has appeared, founded on the idea that any time spent outside leads to better immune function, lower anxiety, and higher self-worth. I’ll never know to what extent my time spent outdoors protected me as a child, but my adult physical and mental health look better than my childhood struggles would lead you to expect. Nature was the first mental health tool I had access to in life. As an adult, I’ve added ways like talk therapy (疗法), EMDR, and bodywork. ____19____ Whether we walk in a city park or climb a mountain, the outdoors offers an opportunity to take a break and renew ourselves. ____20____ Like wildlife, we can grow and adapt, fit into our surroundings, and become more energetic, making our lives more lively. A. The idea that nature has healing power is not new. B. Sharing outdoor adventures with friends created joy. C. The natural world is constantly moving and reinventing itself. D. So whenever I could, I went outside to enjoy what nature offered. E. It provides enough to wake our senses and keep us in the moment. F. But the outdoors was — and will remain — a context for my healing. G. The best part is that you don’t need a lot of time outdoors to see the benefits. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者童年借自然疗愈自我，结合古今依据说明自然的治愈力量与户外益处。 【16题详解】 上文“Raised in a home where tension surfaced from time to time, I realized from a young age that the house wasn’t always comforting.(在一个时常充满紧张气氛的家庭中长大，我从小就意识到家里并不总是令人安心的)”点明家中氛围不佳，难以带来慰藉。D选项“So whenever I could, I went outside to enjoy what nature offered.(所以只要有机会，我就会出门去享受大自然所给予的一切)”与上文构成因果衔接，正因家中缺少舒适感，作者才选择走向户外；同时引出下文“I spent hours exploring the woods behind my house.(我会花好几个小时探索家后面的树林)”等户外探索的具体行为，上下文语意连贯自然。 【17题详解】 上文“Outside, birds fly; flowers come out; rivers rush by and waves crash against the beach and return to the sea.(在户外，鸟儿飞翔；花朵绽放；河流奔腾而过，海浪拍打着海滩又退回大海)”描绘了自然界各类事物不断运动变化的画面。C选项“The natural world is constantly moving and reinventing itself.(自然界始终在不断运动、重塑自我)”是对上文景象的总结提炼；又呼应下文“Maybe, I thought, I could grow, change and rebuild my life too.(我想，或许我也可以成长、改变，重新构建自己的生活)”，作者从自然的自我更新中获得人生启发，上下文逻辑顺畅。 【18题详解】 下文“Hippocrates, the father of medicine in the fourth century B. C., stressed nature’s ability to heal us. In recent decades, scientific studies have related going outdoors to improved mental health.(公元前四世纪的医学之父希波克拉底，就强调过大自然治愈人类的能力。近几十年来，科学研究也将走进户外与心理健康状况改善关联起来)”分别从古代先贤观点与现代科学研究两个维度，佐证自然具备疗愈作用。A选项“The idea that nature has healing power is not new.(大自然拥有治愈力量这一观点并不是新近才有的)”总领本段内容，点明该观点历史悠久，与下文古今依据相互呼应。 【19题详解】 上文“Nature was the first mental health tool I had access to in life. As an adult, I’ve added ways like talk therapy (疗法), EMDR, and bodywork.(大自然是我人生中最早能接触到的心理健康调节方式。成年后，我又增添了谈话疗法、眼动脱敏再加工疗法以及身体理疗等方式)”介绍了作者不同阶段使用的疗愈手段。F选项“But the outdoors was — and will remain — a context for my healing.(但户外过去是、未来也仍会是我疗愈自我的重要依托)”与上文构成转折逻辑，即便新增了多种专业疗法，自然在作者疗愈过程中的核心地位始终不变，衔接自然。 【20题详解】 上文“Whether we walk in a city park or climb a mountain, the outdoors offers an opportunity to take a break and renew ourselves.(无论我们是在城市公园散步还是去爬山，户外都能提供一个让我们休憩、恢复活力的机会)”点明户外具备让人休整焕新的作用。E选项“It provides enough to wake our senses and keep us in the moment.(它能充分唤醒我们的感官，让我们专注于当下)”中“It”指代上文的“the outdoors”，进一步阐释户外发挥疗愈作用的具体方式；同时引出下文“Like wildlife, we can grow and adapt, fit into our surroundings, and become more energetic, making our lives more lively.(就像野生生物一样，我们可以成长、适应，融入周遭环境，变得更有活力，让生活更加鲜活)”，语意衔接紧密。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Mom gave me an abundance of love.

Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars. Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. At one moment, the boots I had been longing for flashed through my head. And then my Mum’s face appeared, drowned in sorrow, trying in vain to explain to us all why we should celebrate Christmas with no presents, no decorations or no turkey. At exactly that moment, it came to my awareness how selfish I was. Feeling the money in my sweaty hand, I made a big decision and stepped into the grocery store. Having finished shopping, I made my way home, excited and proud of my choice. With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! No sooner had I opened the door than some of the Christmas goodies fell inside onto the floor. She just stood there, dumbfounded. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” Next moment, I was welcomed by the most passionate hugs and kisses from my beloved Mum. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在20世纪30年代末的新威斯敏斯特，作者一家生活拮据，靠社会救济交房租。圣诞将至，作者怀揣打工挣得的钱打算买双靴子，却意识到家里没有置办任何过节的物品，于是开始重新考虑自己的计划。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我继续走着，我开始重新考虑我的计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者改变计划的心理发展过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“怀着激动和泪水，我敲开了我们家的门。”可知，第二段可描写作者将钱花在更有价值的地方了，展示了主人公牺牲小我、奉献家庭的自我蜕变成长的过程，让读者感受到了浓浓的亲情。 2.续写线索：重新考虑我的计划——联想到妈妈的话——做出决定，走向杂货店——激动地回家——回家后妈妈的反应和心理状态——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重新考虑：reconsider /rethink ②.出 现：appeared /come out ③.走进，进入：stepped into / walked into 情绪类 ①.渴望：longing for /desire/eager to ②.兴奋，激动：excitement /stimulation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

In fact, after — tracking-70 bears between 2016 and 2022, experts found survival rates for young grizzlies in the Elk Valley are the lowest recorded in North America. Causes of grizzly deaths Deaths of the 15 tracked bears during that period: Challenges to human-bear coexistence in the Elk Valley Measures taken Since April 2024, the government has taken effort to help humans and bears share the landscape. One of the most effective tools is electric fencing, which reduces damage to infrastructure (基础设施) by 80%-100%. It keeps bears away from attractants like garbage, which reduces conflicts. These simple,low-cost measures are saving lives — on both sides. As someone puts it,“Coexistence is a two-way street.If we want bears to survive, we have to be willing to change, too.” 1. How many tracked grizzlies died due to human-related causes? A. 40%. B. 46.6%. C. 86.6%. D. 93.3%. 2. Why is the number of grizzlies stable in the Elk Valley? A. Their death rate decreases. B. Some learn to travel safely. C. Their survival gets protected. D. Some move in from nearby. 3. What is the main function of electric fencing? A. Saving humans from bears. B. Preventing conflict and loss. C. Letting bears trust humans. D. Cutting the bear control cost. B I started my first sewing class when I was 10 years old. Despite the fact that I grew up sewing with family members, it was left on the sidelines as my life took on new interests and challenges. I didn’t own a sewing machine (缝纫机), so my sewing ideas and projects got filed under “when I have time and a sewing machine in the future”. I rarely got around to them. Years ago, I decided that I would do my best not to buy new things, especially clothes. What started as a no-buy challenge led to finding the joy and excitement again, which I experience when I engage in crafts like darning (缝补). While I had sewing experience, darning was new to me. I got my first darning needles at a local shop called Spun to practise darning some old socks with holes. The people working there told me about community meetings that they host for people who like darning. A few days later, I came back because I was eager to show someone how my first darning project turned out. They gave me the biggest smile and praise for what I achieved. What I discovered was not just a way to save my clothes or a new skill, but a community of darning lovers who are excited to welcome new people so they can experience darning and crafting together. The interest alone was enough for one to gain access and many were eager to help out beginners and share the joy, driving away the loneliness and anxiety about lacking skills. I have darning projects that I am embarrassed about, but the quality does not matter, especially for a beginner. You can always begin with small tasks on clothes you only wear at home, not forcing yourself to complete them without faults. It’s all about taking a moment to think about the objects you own and adopting a practice of not throwing something away without considering a way of darning creatively. 4. What made the author start darning? A. Experiences in a sewing class. B. The access to a sewing machine. C. Memories of family members. D. The determination to stop purchases. 5. Why did the author return to Spun? A. To learn darning from others. B. To get more darning tools. C. To present her darning progress. D. To join a darning community. 6. What does the author think of the darning lovers according to paragraph 4? A. Friendly and enthusiastic. B. Inspiring but lonely. C. Creative and hardworking. D. Professional but modest. 7. What does the author advise beginners to do? A. Focus on the quality. B. Reuse clothes cautiously. C. Practise darning at home. D. Accept the imperfections. C Do audiobooks (有声读物) qualify as reading? There is a pride in being well read. Admitting you have only listened to a book usually sounds like an apology. I used to feel the same way. Years ago, sitting in an airport bar, I noticed a man scrolling through his phone as a robotic voice read every word aloud at high speed. At first, I thought it was meaningless. Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes. Because I have a reading disorder, reading has never come easy. Later, I tried a similar feature on my phone. For the first time, I could effortlessly absorb ideas and focus in a way I hadn’t before. Reading builds understanding, focus and critical thinking. However, there has been a drop of more than 40% in daily reading for pleasure in America over the past two decades. Meanwhile, listening to books is on the rise. Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth. So maybe removing the prejudice against audiobooks gives us a better way to think about what reading really is. The brains of people reading or listening to the same stories actually process meaning in almost the same way. Casual or distracted listening, like playing an audiobook while doing chores, doesn’t appear to engage people fully. But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities. Tens of millions of people now listen as they follow the text. Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there. 8. What changed the author’s attitude towards listening to books? A. His reading disorder. B. A blind man’s way of reading. C. His love for audiobooks. D. A new phone function. 9. What does the data in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Audiobooks add more pleasure to Americans’ daily reading. B. Audiobooks have changed people’s attitudes toward reading. C. Audiobooks are replacing print and e-books in the market. D. Audiobooks have become a key force in book market growth. 10. What does attentive listening bring according to paragraph 4? A. A guaranteed comprehension boost. B. The best meaning-processing way. C. A likely cure for reading disabilities. D. The same effect as print reading. 11. What does the author indicate about reading in the last paragraph? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Actions speak louder than words. D Our bodies weren’t made to sit for hours in a classroom. That may be why many kids struggle to stay focused in school, often losing track of lessons. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems. Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment. It uses short periods of heart-beating activity with short breaks in between. For example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hops and kicks. They described it in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, a leading academic journal. Twenty-five students aged 9 to 12 tried out the program. At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rode an exercise bike or watched a short video. After each activity, participants did some tests. One test showed five fish in a line on a screen, and kids had to note which direction the center fish faced. Other tests focused on math or language skills. During the fish test, the team noticed a change in what Drollette calls “the uh-oh mechanism” — when you realize you made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that response, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains more efficient at processing information. Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout. But they did a little worse at math. That could be from tiredness, which tends to affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drollette says. Being active can help with both mental and physical health, says Drollette. His recommendation: “Find opportunities to stand up and get moving, even for a few minutes, to keep your brain sharp and your body healthy.” 12. What is the nine-minute program designed for? A. Helping students get better at focusing. B. Training students’ physical strength. C. Making students more active in sports. D. Assisting students to relax after class. 13. What were the 25 students required to do in Drollette’s lab? A. They only did high-intensity exercise. B. They wore equipment to record brain activity. C. They did tests before doing any activity. D. They watched videos for a long time. 14. What effect did high-intensity break exercise have on students? A. It made students better at math. B. It reduced students’ tiredness. C. It improved students’ language tests. D. It made students’ brains slower. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Short Breaks: A Cure for Students’ Tiredness B.

Nature was the first mental health tool I had access to in life. As an adult, I’ve added ways like talk therapy (疗法), EMDR, and bodywork. ____19____ Whether we walk in a city park or climb a mountain, the outdoors offers an opportunity to take a break and renew ourselves. ____20____ Like wildlife, we can grow and adapt, fit into our surroundings, and become more energetic, making our lives more lively.

So whenever I could, I went outside to enjoy what nature offered. E. It provides enough to wake our senses and keep us in the moment. F. But the outdoors was — and will remain — a context for my healing. G. The best part is that you don’t need a lot of time outdoors to see the benefits. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Mom gave me an abundance of love.

Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars. Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
