Do not throw it away. Bring it to our Repair Café and fix it with us. What is a Repair Café? A Repair Café is a free community event where skilled volunteers help you repair everyday items — small electrical goods, clothes, furniture, bicycles and toys. It began in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 2009, and there are now more than 3,800 such cafés worldwide. How it works Triage. When you arrive, a volunteer looks at your item to see whether it is within our scope. Registration. If we can help, you register at the desk, sign a liability waiver (免责声明) and join the queue. Repair. You sit beside a volunteer while they fix your item — you are expected to take part, not just hand it over. If a part is needed, you will be told where to buy it and invited to come back next time. What to bring - The broken item — please clean it first. - Its power cable, charger or any accessories needed for testing. - One item per person. A second may be considered if time allows. What we cannot repair Printers, monitors, televisions, large appliances such as washing machines and fridges, and clothing that needs hemming or alterations. Upcoming dates Saturday 20 June, 18 July, 15 August, 10:30 a.m. — 1:30 p.m. The Environment Centre, Swansea Volunteers wanted We always need fixers — and also people to greet visitors, take photos or help with paperwork. No repair skills are required for these roles. Email us to sign up. 1. What is expected of visitors during the repair? A. Leaving the item and coming back later. B.

Volunteers have to work every Saturday. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍修理咖啡馆，志愿者免费帮居民修理日常物品，说明了流程、可 / 不可修理物品、活动时间，还招募志愿者，部分岗位无需维修技能。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Repair部分“You sit beside a volunteer while they fix your item — you are expected to take part, not just hand it over.(志愿者修理你的物品时，你坐在他们旁边——我们希望你参与进来，而不仅仅是将物品交给他们)”可知，维修期间访客需要与志愿者一起对物品进行操作。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Got a broken lamp, a torn jacket or a bike that will not shift? Do not throw it away. Bring it to our Repair Café and fix it with us.(灯坏了、夹克撕了，或者自行车无法换挡？别扔掉它。来我们的维修咖啡馆，和我们一起修好吧)”可知，无法换挡的自行车可以带到维修咖啡馆。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“No repair skills are required for these roles.(这些职位不需要维修技能)”可知，有些岗位不需要维修技能。 B At 76, Yang Weiyun has become an unlikely online star. Every evening, Yang sits in front of her phone in Huainan, Anhui Province, and begins a Chinese language lesson. Her students are not children. They are adults — farmers, factory workers, delivery riders — many of whom have spent much of their lives on the margins of literacy. Yang had wanted to teach since she was a girl, but her family could not afford it, and she spent years doing other work. In 2021, by then a grandmother, she finally began teaching — online, and free of charge. Her first class was a surprise. Expecting children, she found the chat filled with “raised hands” emojis from grown-ups. For Liu Xianzhi, a truck driver from Inner Mongolia, being unable to read had real consequences: he could not read cargo forms or road signs, and often drove dozens of extra miles after taking a wrong turn. After studying with Yang for three years, he learned more than a thousand characters. When he finally helped his son complete the documents needed for a university application, he cried. Another student, 75-year-old Fang Meizhang from Jiangxi Province, could read but had long been embarrassed by her inability to speak standard Mandarin. After four years of practice, she became the host of a local cultural performance. Yang’s method is patient and repetitive. Beginners practise sounds; others move on to poems and short texts. She has turned off tipping on her account and sells nothing — no goods, no paid materials. In a livestream economy where attention is often treated as a source of revenue, she simply gives her lessons away. In 2023, she was honoured as one of China’s “silver-haired edu-streamers”. Some of the others explained the depths of the universe or the mysteries of the sea. Yang taught the basic building blocks of language. Her audience is not always large. Some days only a handful of people join her class. But the class continues, and the comments keep arriving. “Teacher Yang, I’m late — I was weeding in the field.” “Teacher Yang, today I learned to write my name.” 4. Why did Liu Xianzhi take Yang’s lessons? A. He wanted to become a professional driver. B. He needed to read things in his daily work. C. He hoped to help Yang run her online class. D. He was preparing for a university entrance exam. 5. What can be learned about Yang’s lessons? A. They are free and take place every evening. B. They were designed mainly for children. C. They follow a fixed textbook and a strict timetable. D. They are paid for by selling study materials. 6. What does Yang’s decision to turn off tipping suggest? A. She does not know how the app works. B. She teaches only a very small number of people. C. She values passing on knowledge more than making money. D. She is not confident that her lessons are worth paying for. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Late Start, A Lasting Light B. The Rise of Short Videos in China C. Why Adult Learning Is Difficult D. How to Become an Online Teacher 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述的是76岁的杨维云通过网络直播免费教授成年人识字的故事，展现了她对知识传播的热爱和无私奉献精神。  【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For Liu Xianzhi, a truck driver from Inner Mongolia, being unable to read had real consequences: he could not read cargo forms or road signs, and often drove dozens of extra miles after taking a wrong turn. (对于来自内蒙古的卡车司机刘先志来说，不识字带来了真实的后果：他看不懂货物清单或路标，经常在拐错弯后多开几十英里。)”可知，刘先志上杨老师的课是因为他在日常工作中需要阅读。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Every evening, Yang sits in front of her phone in Huainan, Anhui Province, and begins a Chinese language lesson. (每天晚上，家住安徽淮南的杨维云坐在手机前，开始上中文课。)”以及第三段“In 2021, by then a grandmother, she finally began teaching — online, and free of charge. (2021年，当时已是祖母的她终于开始教学——在网上，而且免费。)”可知，杨老师的课每天晚上进行，而且是免费的。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“She has turned off tipping on her account and sells nothing — no goods, no paid materials. In a livestream economy where attention is often treated as a source of revenue, she simply gives her lessons away. (她关闭了账户上的打赏功能，也不卖任何东西——不卖商品，不卖付费材料。在一个注意力常被视为收入来源的直播经济中，她只是免费授课。)”可知，杨老师关闭打赏表明她更看重传递知识而非赚钱。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Yang had wanted to teach since she was a girl, but her family could not afford it, and she spent years doing other work. In 2021, by then a grandmother, she finally began teaching — online, and free of charge. (杨维云从小就梦想教书，但家里供不起，她多年从事其他工作。2021年，当时已是祖母的她终于开始教学——在网上，而且免费。)”以及第七段“She has turned off tipping on her account and sells nothing — no goods, no paid materials. In a livestream economy where attention is often treated as a source of revenue, she simply gives her lessons away. (她关闭了账户上的打赏功能，也不卖任何东西——不卖商品，不卖付费材料。在一个注意力常被视为收入来源的直播经济中，她只是免费授课。)”以及最后一段“Her audience is not always large. Some days only a handful of people join her class. But the class continues, and the comments keep arriving. (她的观众并不总是很多。有时只有少数人加入她的课堂。但课堂继续，评论不断到来。)”可知，杨维云虽起步较晚，但她的光芒持久而温暖，最佳标题是“迟来的开始，持久的光芒”。 C Trees are already countering nearly half the urban heating caused by pavement and buildings in the world’s cities. But a new study finds that they are doing far less cooling in the hotter, poorer cities where relief is needed most. The study, published in Nature Communications, examined nearly 9,000 large urban areas. Using weather station measurements, satellite data and computer models, the researchers calculated how much cooler trees make a city by providing shade and releasing water vapour. Averaged across all cities, tree cover lowers air temperature by about 0.15°C. Without trees, those cities would be roughly 0.31°C hotter, because dark roofs and pavement absorb heat — a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect, which is separate from the warming caused by burning fossil fuels. The average, however, hides enormous differences. About 185 million people in 31 large cities already enjoy cooling of at least 0.3°C from their trees. At the other extreme, in four cities — Dakar in Senegal, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait City and Amman in Jordan — tree cover is so limited that more than 15 million residents get essentially no cooling at all. Wealth is a strong predictor. Nearly 40% of cities in wealthy nations receive at least 0.25°C of cooling from trees; in the poorest countries the figure is just under 9%. The researchers point to larger lot sizes, individual home ownership and greater political influence as reasons why richer neighbourhoods tend to be greener. “It’s a matter of equity,” said Rob McDonald, the study’s lead author. Heat can kill, he noted, by confusing the brain, shutting down organs and overworking the heart. Other scientists agree that trees alone cannot solve the problem. Thomas Crowther, an ecologist who was not involved in the study, said every bit helps. As more than half the world’s population moves into cities, he argued, the buffering effect of urban vegetation will become vital — but the unequal distribution of urban trees must be corrected, so that low- and middle-income communities, often the most vulnerable to extreme heat, can share the benefits. 8. What did the researchers find about the average effect of tree cover? A. It removes urban heating almost completely. B. It makes cities slightly cooler than rural areas. C. It is too small to be measured in practice. D. It offsets about half of the urban heat island effect. 9. What does paragraph 4 mainly show? A. The cooling effect of trees varies enormously. B. Wealthy cities have fewer trees than poor ones. C. Most city residents live in hot, dry regions. D. Weather stations are unevenly distributed. 10. Why is the unequal distribution of trees a problem, according to the text? A. It slows down the growth of young trees. B. It raises the cost of planting trees in rich areas. C. Those who need cooling most often get the least. D. It makes the study’s data difficult to compare. 11. What is Crowther’s attitude towards urban trees? A. Doubtful. B. Positive but cautious. C. Completely opposed. D. Totally unconcerned. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一项关于城市树木降温效果的研究，发现树木在富裕城市降温效果更好，而在需要降温的贫穷城市效果较差，揭示了环境不平等问题。  【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Trees are already countering nearly half the urban heating caused by pavement and buildings in the world’s cities. (树木已经在抵消全球城市由路面和建筑造成的近一半的城市升温。)”以及第三段“Averaged across all cities, tree cover lowers air temperature by about 0.15°C. Without trees, those cities would be roughly 0.31°C hotter, because dark roofs and pavement absorb heat — a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect, which is separate from the warming caused by burning fossil fuels. (在所有城市中取平均值，树木覆盖可使气温降低约0.15°C。如果没有树木，这些城市的气温会高出约0.31°C，因为深色屋顶和路面会吸收热量——这一现象被称为城市热岛效应，它与燃烧化石燃料导致的全球变暖是两回事。)”可知，树木覆盖抵消了约一半的城市热岛效应。  【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The average, however, hides enormous differences. (然而，平均值掩盖了巨大的差异。)”以及该段列举的31个大城市享受至少0.3°C降温与四个城市几乎无降温的对比可知，第四段主要展示树木降温效果的巨大差异。  【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But a new study finds that they are doing far less cooling in the hotter, poorer cities where relief is needed most. (但一项新研究发现，在更热、更贫穷、最需要缓解的城市，树木的降温效果却要差得多。)”以及第五段“Wealth is a strong predictor. Nearly 40% of cities in wealthy nations receive at least 0.25°C of cooling from trees; in the poorest countries the figure is just under 9%. (财富是一个强有力的预测指标。富裕国家近40%的城市从树木获得至少0.25°C的降温；在最贫穷的国家，这一比例仅为9%以下。)”以及最后一段“As more than half the world’s population moves into cities, he argued, the buffering effect of urban vegetation will become vital — but the unequal distribution of urban trees must be corrected, so that low- and middle-income communities, often the most vulnerable to extreme heat, can share the benefits. (随着世界上一半以上的人口迁入城市，他认为，城市植被的缓冲作用将变得至关重要——但城市树木的不平等分布必须得到纠正，以便低收入和中等收入社区——通常是最容易受到极端高温影响的社区——能够分享这些好处。)”可知，树木分布不平等的问题在于最需要降温的人往往得到最少的降温。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Other scientists agree that trees alone cannot solve the problem. Thomas Crowther, an ecologist who was not involved in the study, said every bit helps. As more than half the world’s population moves into cities, he argued, the buffering effect of urban vegetation will become vital — but the unequal distribution of urban trees must be corrected, so that low- and middle-income communities, often the most vulnerable to extreme heat, can share the benefits. (其他科学家同意，仅靠树木无法解决问题。未参与该研究的生态学家托马斯·克劳瑟说，每一点都有帮助。随着世界上一半以上的人口迁入城市，他认为，城市植被的缓冲作用将变得至关重要——但城市树木的不平等分布必须得到纠正，以便低收入和中等收入社区——通常是最容易受到极端高温影响的社区——能够分享这些好处。)”可知，克劳瑟对城市树木持积极但谨慎的态度——肯定其作用，但认为仅靠树木不够，且分布不平等问题必须解决。 D Pick up a pen and write your own name. Notice the small decisions your hand makes without your thinking about them. For most of human history this was simply how people learned and remembered. Today it is becoming rare: surveys suggest that about 40% of students are losing confident handwriting fluency. Should we care? A review of 30 brain studies suggests that we should. Forming letters by hand is not merely a motor task. It requires the brain to coordinate vision, movement, language and memory at once — what researchers call a multisensory experience — and this is thought to strengthen the neural pathways involved in memory and comprehension. Typing works differently. Once a typist has learned the keyboard, the same movement produces any letter; the shape of the letter no longer matters. Handwriting, by contrast, demands a unique movement for every character. The difference shows up in the classroom. In a well-known study, students who took notes by hand understood concepts more deeply than those who typed. The reason lies in speed: handwriting is slow, so students cannot copy a lecture word for word. They have to listen, select and summarise as they write. Typing makes verbatim (逐字的) capture easy — and verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less. There is also a matter of attention. Handwriting cannot be rushed, and it offers no tabs, notifications or pop-up messages. An experiment at the University of Tokyo found that people who recorded their schedules on paper responded to related images 25% faster than those who used a digital device. None of this means keyboards should go. Typing is faster, and it is better for editing, sharing and organising. The sensible conclusion is not to choose between them but to know which to reach for. As one researcher put it, the pen is not slower than the keyboard — it is simply doing a different job. 12. What does the review of 30 brain studies suggest? A. Handwriting engages several brain systems at once. B. Typing improves language ability more than writing. C. Handwriting is mainly a physical exercise for children. D. The brain works less actively when forming letters. 13. Why does taking notes by hand lead to deeper understanding? A. It takes less time than typing notes. B. It allows students to copy more information. C. It forces students to process what they hear. D. It helps students remember every single word. 14. What does the underlined part “verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less” mean? A. Typing appears useful but leads to less real learning. B. Typing is productive only for students who read a lot. C. Note-taking becomes less useful as students grow older. D. A productive class depends on how much is written down. 15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Keyboards should be removed from classrooms. B. Students should stop using digital devices. C. The two methods should be used for different purposes. D. Handwriting should be taught only in primary school. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述的是手写相比打字在促进大脑发育、加深理解和提高注意力方面的优势，同时指出两种方法各有用途。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Forming letters by hand is not merely a motor task. It requires the brain to coordinate vision, movement, language and memory at once — what researchers call a multisensory experience — and this is thought to strengthen the neural pathways involved in memory and comprehension. (用手写字母不仅仅是一项运动任务。它要求大脑同时协调视觉、动作、语言和记忆——研究人员称之为多感官体验——而这被认为能够强化与记忆和理解相关的神经通路。)”可知，30项大脑研究表明手写能同时调动多个大脑系统。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The reason lies in speed: handwriting is slow, so students cannot copy a lecture word for word. They have to listen, select and summarise as they write. (原因在于速度：手写很慢，所以学生无法逐字抄录讲座内容。他们必须在写的同时倾听、选择和总结。)”可知，手写笔记促使学生处理他们所听到的内容。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“In a well-known study, students who took notes by hand understood concepts more deeply than those who typed. The reason lies in speed: handwriting is slow, so students cannot copy a lecture word for word. They have to listen, select and summarise as they write. Typing makes verbatim (逐字的) capture easy — and  verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less. (在一项著名的研究中，手写笔记的学生比打字的学生对概念理解得更深。原因在于速度：手写很慢，所以学生无法逐字抄录讲座内容。他们必须在写的同时倾听、选择和总结。打字使逐字记录变得容易，并且verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less。)”可知，“verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less”意为打字看起来高效（记下了很多字)”，但实际学习效果却更少，即打字看似有用，但导致真正的学习效果更少。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The sensible conclusion is not to choose between them but to know which to reach for. As one researcher put it, the pen is not slower than the keyboard — it is simply doing a different job. (明智的结论不是在这两者之间做选择，而是知道该用哪一种。正如一位研究人员所说，笔并不比键盘慢——它只是在做不同的工作。)”可知，作者建议两种方法应根据不同目的使用。  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。 How to Get Back into Reading People stop reading in adulthood for many reasons. Some are tired of years of assigned reading at school; others simply have no time, or would rather scroll on social media. An analysis of government data in the United States found that the share of people who read for pleasure on an average day fell from 28% in 2004 to 16% in 2023. _____16_____ Give yourself a routine To build a habit that sticks, start by scheduling reading into your day. Read five pages during a lunch break, or just before bed. If you are reading a physical book, keep your phone and laptop out of sight. _____17_____ E-books are portable, and audiobooks are a good companion for chores or the morning commute. It helps, too, not to make reading a solitary activity. Many cities host silent book clubs, where people read their own books together in coffee shops and libraries. _____18_____ But if a reading goal feels like added pressure rather than encouragement, skip it. Choose the right book When picking your next book, avoid dense nonfiction or a 500-page doorstop. _____19_____ Ask friends, booksellers or online communities for recommendations, and tell a librarian what you last enjoyed — they can often suggest something similar. Feel free to give up If a book feels sluggish, it is fine to put it down and start another. Reading should not feel like a burden. _____20_____ A library director in Wisconsin, who reads mysteries and romances, says she likes books that end happily. “The guarantee of knowing that things are going to end up OK is really reassuring,” she explains. A. Your first book should be one that you think will bring you joy. B. Setting a yearly goal, or joining a library reading challenge, can help with motivation. C. But it is never too late to turn the page and start again. D. Many routine readers simply pick up whatever matches their mood that week. E. Experimenting with other formats can also make reading more convenient. F. The habit is much easier to keep when someone else is doing it too. G. In fact, most adults read more than ten books a year. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. A 20.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了58岁的Norah Marler在轮胎爆胎、路边救援会员过期的情况下，得到陌生人Victor无偿帮助的故事。Marler将这份善意传递下去，并呼吁人们彼此关照。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：她伸手去拿路边救援卡——却意识到她的会员资格已经过期了。A. expired过期；B. arrived到达；C. counted计数；D. mattered重要。根据下文“The 58-year-old was stranded in the cold”可知，Marler被困在寒冷中无法获得救援，这说明她的路边救援会员资格已经过期，导致无法使用救援服务。 【22题详解】 考查名词。句意：司机们从她身边经过，给她一个“幸好不是我”的眼神。A. look眼神；B. smile微笑；C. gift礼物；D. chance机会。根据上文“Drivers passed by”及下文“Then a stranger stopped”中的转折可知，之前路过的司机都没有帮忙，只是投来幸灾乐祸的眼神；glad it’s not me这一表达也暗示了这是一种冷漠的旁观态度，而非善意的微笑。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：他找到备用轮胎，从后座后面找到工具，放下备用轮胎并更换了瘪胎——所有这些都是在严寒天气中完成的。A. cleaned清洁；B. checked检查；C. changed更换；D. sold出售。根据第一段“the front tyre went flat”及“located the spare tyre, found the tools”可知，Victor找到备用轮胎和工具的目的是更换瘪胎，这是爆胎后的标准处理流程。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：他甚至自愿修补损坏的轮胎。A. refused拒绝；B. volunteered自愿做；C. failed失败；D. pretended假装。根据上文“all in freezing weather”可知，Victor在严寒中不仅完成了换胎，还自愿做额外的工作——修补旧胎，这体现了他的热心；下文“When he had finished”也说明他确实完成了这项工作。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：完工后，Marler主动提出付钱给他。A. agreed同意；B. hesitated犹豫；C. offered主动提出；D. forgot忘记。根据下文“He refused. She offered to buy him a coffee. He refused again.”可知，Marler两次主动提出回报，第一次是付钱，第二次是买咖啡。 【26题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：她记忆最深的是他在开车离开时说的话。A. drove off开车离开；B. gave up放弃；C. set out出发；D. broke down出故障。根据第五空前面“When he had finished”及修车的情节可知，Victor完成了所有工作，在开车离开之前留下了那番话。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：“如果有人看到我妻子被困，我希望他们能帮助她。请把这份善意传递下去。”A. thank感谢；B. help帮助；C. find找到；D. trust信任。根据第三段“The man, whose name was Victor, got out and went straight to work. He located the spare tyre, found the tools behind the back seat, lowered the spare and ________ the flat — all in freezing weather. He even ________ to plug the damaged tyre.”及第四段“When he had finished, Marler ________ to pay him. He refused. She offered to buy him a coffee. He refused again.”可知，Victor在严寒中无偿帮助Marler换胎、修补轮胎，且拒绝任何报酬；他自己就是这种无私帮助行为的践行者，因此他希望别人也能同样帮助他的妻子。 【28题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：Marler，一位心理健康顾问，将那些话铭记在心。A. to heart铭记在心；B. for granted理所当然；C. by surprise出其不意；D. in turn反过来。根据下文“She contacted a local newspaper to share the story.”及十四空后面“She hopes that, by telling the story, she can pay Victor’s kindness forward”可知，Marler不仅记住了Victor的话，还付诸行动传播这个故事，说明她将那些话铭记在心，take...to heart为固定搭配，意为“认真对待，铭记在心”。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：“我一直在寻找善意，”她说。A. kindness善意；B. advice建议；C. trouble麻烦；D. company陪伴。根据下文“It was true, ________ altruism shining through.”可知，Marler作为心理健康顾问，一直在工作中寻找善意的例证；Victor的行为恰好是她寻找的典范。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：“这是真的、是真正的利他主义在闪耀。”A. simple简单的；B. strange奇怪的；C. authentic真实的；D. ordinary普通的。根据上文“I’m always looking for ________”及“It was true”可知，Marler见过太多需要帮助的人，也了解人性的复杂，因此她能判断Victor的行为是真实的利他主义，而非别有用心，并且true与authentic意思相近。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：她的工作让她接触到许多经历过困难时期的人，所以她明白善意的话语对这类人意义重大。A. cost花费；B. mean意味着；C. change改变；D. end结束。根据上文“ Her work brings her close to people who have gone through hard times, so she knows how much a kind word can”可知，Marler作为心理健康顾问，日常工作就是与困境中的人打交道，她深知在艰难时刻一句善意的话对人来说意味着什么。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：但她也知道相反的情况：许多人生活在她所说的“生存模式”中，如果我们不小心，日常的辛劳会消磨我们的人性。A. answer答案；B. reason理由；C. reverse相反的情况；D. reward奖励。根据上文“she knows how much a kind word can ________”及转折词But可知，Marler既看到善意的力量，也了解相反的现实——许多人在生存压力下变得冷漠；the reverse为固定表达，意为“相反的情况”。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：但她也知道相反的情况：许多人生活在她所说的“生存模式”中，如果我们不小心，日常的辛劳会消磨我们的人性。A. build建立；B. save拯救；C. sap消磨，耗尽；D. show展示。根据上文“many people live in what she calls ‘survival mode’”可知，生存模式下的日常辛劳会消磨人性，使人失去善意和关怀；sap our humanity意为“消磨我们的人性”。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：“有时候我觉得我们所需要的只是一个温柔的提醒，提醒我们真正是谁，”Marler说。A. reminder提醒；B. warning警告；C. promise承诺；D. gift礼物。根据上文“if we are not careful, the daily grind can sap our humanity”可知，人们在日常辛劳中容易忘记自己的人性，因此需要提醒来唤醒；Victor的行为正是这样一个提醒。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：“我们真的要互相照应。”A. speaking说话；B. looking看；C. reaching伸手；D. standing站立。根据上文“pay Victor’s kindness forward, with a ripple effect (涟漪效应)”及“There are still good people out there”可知，Marler呼吁人们彼此关照，将善意传递下去，look out for each other为固定搭配，意为“互相照应，彼此关照”。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For decades, scientists have known that homing pigeons rely on Earth’s magnetic field _____36_____ (find) their way home.

Every morning, the old man sat at the entrance of the vegetable market with a pile of hand-woven bamboo baskets beside him. Each basket took him five or six hours to make. He sold them for six yuan, and even at that price few people stopped. Most shoppers walked past with plastic bags and nylon totes. Lin Yue bought one. Back at the office she put her lunch in it, and noticed how finely the bamboo had been split — it felt almost like cloth. She asked around and learned that Grandpa Chen was one of the last basket weavers in the neighbourhood. He had been making baskets for over fifty years, and he had never had an apprentice. That evening, Lin Yue posted a photo of the basket online with a short caption: “Six hours of work. Six yuan. Grandpa Chen is 78.” The next morning, her phone would not stop buzzing. She showed the messages to Grandpa Chen, but he only shook his head. “Young people don’t want these,” he said. “They want plastic.” Lin Yue did not argue. She had already sent the photo to a friend who studied design at a local university. Two students came the following weekend with sketchbooks and colour samples. They measured the basket, asked Grandpa Chen endless questions about the weaving, and left with three samples under their arms. 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。 The next month, the first redesigned baskets appeared at a shop near the old town. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That winter, Grandpa Chen told Lin Yue something she would never forget. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The next month, the first redesigned baskets appeared at a shop near the old town. Smaller than Grandpa Chen’s, with a cotton lining and a leather strap, they sold for sixty yuan — ten times the old price. Tourists photographed them, and the shopkeeper asked for more. Grandpa Chen, who used to sit alone at the market entrance, was now busy weaving at his home with steady orders coming in. Lin Yue even helped him set up a small online store to receive more orders. Within weeks, orders arrived from other cities. Paragraph 2: That winter, Grandpa Chen told Lin Yue something she would never forget. “For fifty years I wove baskets,” he said, “but I only sold them to people who passed by. Last week a girl in Guangzhou wrote to me — she carries my basket to the market.” He paused. “I have taken on two students. One is nineteen.” Lin Yue looked at the bamboo in the corner and understood: what she had saved was not a basket, but a pair of hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以林悦帮助传统手工艺传承和发扬光大为线索。社区新人林悦偶然注意到老竹编艺人陈爷爷的竹篮销路不好，因欣赏陈爷爷的手工技艺主动在网络宣传，又联合设计专业学生对传统竹篮进行改良创新，最终帮陈爷爷打开销路，让老竹编技艺重新获得市场关注并成功得到传承。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由第一段首句可知，本段可以描写改良款竹篮上市，定价提高但销售火热，陈爷爷在家忙碌编织，林悦帮助建网店，订单提升。 ②由第二段首句可知，陈爷爷讲述销售变化和收徒的消息，林悦明白自己拯救了一门传统手工艺。 2. 段落续写： 改良竹篮在商店出售——改良细节和定价调整——陈爷爷在家工作忙碌——建网店——生意兴隆——陈爷爷感慨变化——收徒——挽救手工艺 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①拍照：photograph/take a photo of ②雇用：take on/hire/employ 状态类 ①忙碌的：busy/occupied ②稳定的：steady/stable 【点睛】【高分句型1】Grandpa Chen, who used to sit alone at the market entrance, was now busy weaving at his home with steady orders coming in.(使用了who引导非限制性定语从句、with复合结构) 【高分句型2】Lin Yue looked at the bamboo in the corner and understood: what she had saved was not a basket, but a pair of hands.

Do not throw it away. Bring it to our Repair Café and fix it with us. What is a Repair Café? A Repair Café is a free community event where skilled volunteers help you repair everyday items — small electrical goods, clothes, furniture, bicycles and toys. It began in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 2009, and there are now more than 3,800 such cafés worldwide. How it works Triage. When you arrive, a volunteer looks at your item to see whether it is within our scope. Registration. If we can help, you register at the desk, sign a liability waiver (免责声明) and join the queue. Repair. You sit beside a volunteer while they fix your item — you are expected to take part, not just hand it over. If a part is needed, you will be told where to buy it and invited to come back next time. What to bring - The broken item — please clean it first. - Its power cable, charger or any accessories needed for testing. - One item per person. A second may be considered if time allows. What we cannot repair Printers, monitors, televisions, large appliances such as washing machines and fridges, and clothing that needs hemming or alterations. Upcoming dates Saturday 20 June, 18 July, 15 August, 10:30 a.m. — 1:30 p.m. The Environment Centre, Swansea Volunteers wanted We always need fixers — and also people to greet visitors, take photos or help with paperwork. No repair skills are required for these roles. Email us to sign up. 1. What is expected of visitors during the repair? A. Leaving the item and coming back later. B. Watching the volunteer from a distance. C. Working on the item together with the volunteer. D. Filling in a form to report the fault first. 2. Which of the following can be brought to the Repair Café? A. A broken printer. B. A bicycle that will not shift. C. A fridge that has stopped working. D. A jacket that needs to be shortened. 3. What can we learn about volunteering at the Repair Café? A. Only skilled fixers are accepted. B. Volunteers must pay for their training. C. Some roles call for no repair skills. D. Volunteers have to work every Saturday. B At 76, Yang Weiyun has become an unlikely online star. Every evening, Yang sits in front of her phone in Huainan, Anhui Province, and begins a Chinese language lesson. Her students are not children. They are adults — farmers, factory workers, delivery riders — many of whom have spent much of their lives on the margins of literacy. Yang had wanted to teach since she was a girl, but her family could not afford it, and she spent years doing other work. In 2021, by then a grandmother, she finally began teaching — online, and free of charge. Her first class was a surprise. Expecting children, she found the chat filled with “raised hands” emojis from grown-ups. For Liu Xianzhi, a truck driver from Inner Mongolia, being unable to read had real consequences: he could not read cargo forms or road signs, and often drove dozens of extra miles after taking a wrong turn. After studying with Yang for three years, he learned more than a thousand characters. When he finally helped his son complete the documents needed for a university application, he cried. Another student, 75-year-old Fang Meizhang from Jiangxi Province, could read but had long been embarrassed by her inability to speak standard Mandarin. After four years of practice, she became the host of a local cultural performance. Yang’s method is patient and repetitive. Beginners practise sounds; others move on to poems and short texts. She has turned off tipping on her account and sells nothing — no goods, no paid materials. In a livestream economy where attention is often treated as a source of revenue, she simply gives her lessons away. In 2023, she was honoured as one of China’s “silver-haired edu-streamers”. Some of the others explained the depths of the universe or the mysteries of the sea. Yang taught the basic building blocks of language. Her audience is not always large. Some days only a handful of people join her class. But the class continues, and the comments keep arriving. “Teacher Yang, I’m late — I was weeding in the field.” “Teacher Yang, today I learned to write my name.” 4. Why did Liu Xianzhi take Yang’s lessons? A. He wanted to become a professional driver. B. He needed to read things in his daily work. C. He hoped to help Yang run her online class. D. He was preparing for a university entrance exam. 5. What can be learned about Yang’s lessons? A. They are free and take place every evening. B. They were designed mainly for children. C. They follow a fixed textbook and a strict timetable. D. They are paid for by selling study materials. 6. What does Yang’s decision to turn off tipping suggest? A. She does not know how the app works. B. She teaches only a very small number of people. C. She values passing on knowledge more than making money. D. She is not confident that her lessons are worth paying for. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Late Start, A Lasting Light B. The Rise of Short Videos in China C. Why Adult Learning Is Difficult D. How to Become an Online Teacher C Trees are already countering nearly half the urban heating caused by pavement and buildings in the world’s cities. But a new study finds that they are doing far less cooling in the hotter, poorer cities where relief is needed most. The study, published in Nature Communications, examined nearly 9,000 large urban areas. Using weather station measurements, satellite data and computer models, the researchers calculated how much cooler trees make a city by providing shade and releasing water vapour. Averaged across all cities, tree cover lowers air temperature by about 0.15°C. Without trees, those cities would be roughly 0.31°C hotter, because dark roofs and pavement absorb heat — a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect, which is separate from the warming caused by burning fossil fuels. The average, however, hides enormous differences. About 185 million people in 31 large cities already enjoy cooling of at least 0.3°C from their trees. At the other extreme, in four cities — Dakar in Senegal, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait City and Amman in Jordan — tree cover is so limited that more than 15 million residents get essentially no cooling at all. Wealth is a strong predictor. Nearly 40% of cities in wealthy nations receive at least 0.25°C of cooling from trees; in the poorest countries the figure is just under 9%. The researchers point to larger lot sizes, individual home ownership and greater political influence as reasons why richer neighbourhoods tend to be greener. “It’s a matter of equity,” said Rob McDonald, the study’s lead author. Heat can kill, he noted, by confusing the brain, shutting down organs and overworking the heart. Other scientists agree that trees alone cannot solve the problem. Thomas Crowther, an ecologist who was not involved in the study, said every bit helps. As more than half the world’s population moves into cities, he argued, the buffering effect of urban vegetation will become vital — but the unequal distribution of urban trees must be corrected, so that low- and middle-income communities, often the most vulnerable to extreme heat, can share the benefits. 8. What did the researchers find about the average effect of tree cover? A. It removes urban heating almost completely. B. It makes cities slightly cooler than rural areas. C. It is too small to be measured in practice. D. It offsets about half of the urban heat island effect. 9. What does paragraph 4 mainly show? A. The cooling effect of trees varies enormously. B. Wealthy cities have fewer trees than poor ones. C. Most city residents live in hot, dry regions. D. Weather stations are unevenly distributed. 10. Why is the unequal distribution of trees a problem, according to the text? A. It slows down the growth of young trees. B. It raises the cost of planting trees in rich areas. C. Those who need cooling most often get the least. D. It makes the study’s data difficult to compare. 11. What is Crowther’s attitude towards urban trees? A. Doubtful. B. Positive but cautious. C. Completely opposed. D. Totally unconcerned. D Pick up a pen and write your own name. Notice the small decisions your hand makes without your thinking about them. For most of human history this was simply how people learned and remembered. Today it is becoming rare: surveys suggest that about 40% of students are losing confident handwriting fluency. Should we care? A review of 30 brain studies suggests that we should. Forming letters by hand is not merely a motor task. It requires the brain to coordinate vision, movement, language and memory at once — what researchers call a multisensory experience — and this is thought to strengthen the neural pathways involved in memory and comprehension. Typing works differently. Once a typist has learned the keyboard, the same movement produces any letter; the shape of the letter no longer matters. Handwriting, by contrast, demands a unique movement for every character. The difference shows up in the classroom. In a well-known study, students who took notes by hand understood concepts more deeply than those who typed. The reason lies in speed: handwriting is slow, so students cannot copy a lecture word for word. They have to listen, select and summarise as they write. Typing makes verbatim (逐字的) capture easy — and verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less. There is also a matter of attention. Handwriting cannot be rushed, and it offers no tabs, notifications or pop-up messages. An experiment at the University of Tokyo found that people who recorded their schedules on paper responded to related images 25% faster than those who used a digital device. None of this means keyboards should go. Typing is faster, and it is better for editing, sharing and organising. The sensible conclusion is not to choose between them but to know which to reach for. As one researcher put it, the pen is not slower than the keyboard — it is simply doing a different job. 12. What does the review of 30 brain studies suggest? A. Handwriting engages several brain systems at once. B. Typing improves language ability more than writing. C. Handwriting is mainly a physical exercise for children. D. The brain works less actively when forming letters. 13. Why does taking notes by hand lead to deeper understanding? A. It takes less time than typing notes. B. It allows students to copy more information. C. It forces students to process what they hear. D. It helps students remember every single word. 14. What does the underlined part “verbatim capture feels productive while delivering less” mean? A. Typing appears useful but leads to less real learning. B. Typing is productive only for students who read a lot. C. Note-taking becomes less useful as students grow older. D. A productive class depends on how much is written down. 15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Keyboards should be removed from classrooms. B. Students should stop using digital devices. C. The two methods should be used for different purposes. D. Handwriting should be taught only in primary school. 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。 How to Get Back into Reading People stop reading in adulthood for many reasons. Some are tired of years of assigned reading at school; others simply have no time, or would rather scroll on social media. An analysis of government data in the United States found that the share of people who read for pleasure on an average day fell from 28% in 2004 to 16% in 2023. _____16_____ Give yourself a routine To build a habit that sticks, start by scheduling reading into your day. Read five pages during a lunch break, or just before bed. If you are reading a physical book, keep your phone and laptop out of sight. _____17_____ E-books are portable, and audiobooks are a good companion for chores or the morning commute. It helps, too, not to make reading a solitary activity. Many cities host silent book clubs, where people read their own books together in coffee shops and libraries. _____18_____ But if a reading goal feels like added pressure rather than encouragement, skip it. Choose the right book When picking your next book, avoid dense nonfiction or a 500-page doorstop. _____19_____ Ask friends, booksellers or online communities for recommendations, and tell a librarian what you last enjoyed — they can often suggest something similar. Feel free to give up If a book feels sluggish, it is fine to put it down and start another. Reading should not feel like a burden. _____20_____ A library director in Wisconsin, who reads mysteries and romances, says she likes books that end happily. “The guarantee of knowing that things are going to end up OK is really reassuring,” she explains. A. Your first book should be one that you think will bring you joy. B. Setting a yearly goal, or joining a library reading challenge, can help with motivation. C. But it is never too late to turn the page and start again. D. Many routine readers simply pick up whatever matches their mood that week. E. Experimenting with other formats can also make reading more convenient. F. The habit is much easier to keep when someone else is doing it too. G.

Every morning, the old man sat at the entrance of the vegetable market with a pile of hand-woven bamboo baskets beside him. Each basket took him five or six hours to make. He sold them for six yuan, and even at that price few people stopped. Most shoppers walked past with plastic bags and nylon totes. Lin Yue bought one. Back at the office she put her lunch in it, and noticed how finely the bamboo had been split — it felt almost like cloth. She asked around and learned that Grandpa Chen was one of the last basket weavers in the neighbourhood. He had been making baskets for over fifty years, and he had never had an apprentice. That evening, Lin Yue posted a photo of the basket online with a short caption: “Six hours of work. Six yuan. Grandpa Chen is 78.” The next morning, her phone would not stop buzzing. She showed the messages to Grandpa Chen, but he only shook his head. “Young people don’t want these,” he said. “They want plastic.” Lin Yue did not argue. She had already sent the photo to a friend who studied design at a local university. Two students came the following weekend with sketchbooks and colour samples. They measured the basket, asked Grandpa Chen endless questions about the weaving, and left with three samples under their arms. 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。 The next month, the first redesigned baskets appeared at a shop near the old town. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That winter, Grandpa Chen told Lin Yue something she would never forget. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
