B As a child,Danielle Belleny's love for nature led her to wildlife biology.Growing up,Danielle Belleny was always outdoors,picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own.She hadn't yet heard of wildlife biology,but that's what she was learning about.She wanted to be a vet,a person who can treat sick or injured animals,at first.She said,"I always knew I wanted to work with animals,and as a kid,that was the only job I knew where I could do that."But when Belleny was in college,her dad advised her to leam wildlife biology instead of veterinary(普医学). Later,Belleny started working on research projects.One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite.For another,she spent time feeding goats,as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them. Belleny's current job at Plateau Land and Wildlife Management lets her split her time between the indoors and outdoors.It also lets her work with people."In the mornings,I'm usually out the door before sunrise,"she says. She observes birds,keeping track of different species.And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing.Around lunchtime,she'll return home and write up a report.In the afternoon,she leaves for another site visit.She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm.Her work takes her all around Texas. Outside of work,young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years.Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May,2022.Now she's working on a children's book about birding, which is scheduled to come out in spring 2024.Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers. "Try everything you're interested in through books and libraries.If you're into wildlife biology,go to a library and find some field guides.After learning mueh infurmation,you can do research work more easily". 24.What did Belleny want to do at the very beginning! A.Protecting wildlife.B.Watching birds daily.C.Working as a vet. D.Looking after goats. 25.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Belleny? A.Her research reports. B.Her services to farmers. C.Her link with animals. D.Her field work. 26.What service can Belleny provide for landowners in her current job? A.Writing reports. B.Indoor consultations C.Wildlife photography. D.Wildlife protection advice. 第3页，共8页 27.What advice does Belleny offer to young people considering careers? A.Explore diverse interests through books.B.Attend wildlife biology workshops. C.Pursue a degree in biology. D.Explore nature outdoors. C "One person's rubbish is another's jet fuel()?"Though surprising,researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign claim to have developed a method to transform food waste into jet fuel.Their findings, published in Nature Communications,show the resulting fuel can be used directly in aircraft and meets all industry standards for conventional(常规的)jet fuel. This proof of concept offers new hope for aviation (to reach its net-zero carbon emission(goal in three decades.“In a linear(线性的)economy,we just produce something,use it and throw it away,”noted Professor Yuanhui Zhang."Here,we recover energy and materials from waste to make a usable product,filling a key gap in the circular economy." The United States Environmental Protection Agency revealed transportation accounted for 29%of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022,with commercial aviation making up 7%.While battery-powered airplanes are possible for some shorter flights,they simply lack energy for long-distance travel.Some data suggest that Sustainable Aviation Fuel(SAF)extracted(提取)from biomass(生物量)can reduce emissions by up to80% compared to conventional jet fuel,but its application has long been unattainable(难以达到的)due to poor chemical components. Food waste addresses this issue.In this new experiment,the team collected food waste from nearby processing plants.They then used a chemical process called hydrothermal liquefaction including removing salt,ash and water and applying catalytic hydrotreating(催化加氢s处理)to removing other undesirable elements such as oxygen and nitrogen.As a result,the new aviation fuels passed screening tests by the Federal Aviation Administration. Theoretically,it can power commercial airplanes. While the technology is proven pragmatic,expanding its application to meet the fuel demands of entire passenger aircraft remains challenging,requiring time,resources,and investment."Our research solves the scientific and engineering problems,and then the industry can step in,"Zhang said. 28.What is the importance of the findings? A.They offer a more effective way to deal with food waste. B.They provide a new way to achieve aviation's carbon goal. C.They help aircraft companies save a lot of money on fuel. D.They turn the linear economy into a circular economy worldwide. 29.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A-Battery-powered airplanes are suitable for longer flights. B.SAF extracted from biomass has been put into wide use. C.Conventional jet fuel is less environmentally friendly. D.The main reason for US air pollution is commercial aviation. 30.How is the experiment described in paragraph 4? A.By procedural steps. B.In time order. C.Through cause and effect. D.With comparisons and examples. 1.What does the word "pragmatic"probably mean in paragraph 5? A.Plain. B.Theoretical. C.Complex. D.Practical. 第4页，共8页 D When Brandon Contino and co-founder Dan Chi were developing Four Growers'produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year."We actually started just running everything off a laptop, and I would be there in the row coding.Chi would be making changes mechanically,"Contino,now CEO,told TechCrunch. The result was Four Growers,which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses. The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness-which varies depending on a farmer's needs-by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot's arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine.The tech currently works with tomatoes and will be commercially available to harvest other crops like cucumbers in the near future. Having enough labor to harvest crops is crucial because if crops can't be harvested when they are ready,they rot and result in lost profits for the farm.The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture's 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a"critical shortage"of workers,and it won't get better anytime soon. Contino said they were intentional about focusing on greenhouse farms.Unlike outdoor farms,greenhouses can grow almost all year round,and are more efficient than outside farms.They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms,which makes them a good candidate to buy tech. Four Growers now works with five customers,and its robots have picked millions of tomatoes.Contino said that the company is working to expand its technology beyond just harvesting and is looking to expand into outdoor farms in the coming years.“Tt's not really a labor replacement.It's more of an augmentation(增强)，”Contino said. "As the labor force shrinks,and there are fewer people willing to do it,it's putting them to more comfortable positions and allowing one person to be able to do a lot more." 32.What are the cameras used to do in the greenhouse? Take pictures for the ripe fruit. B.Identify crops'maturity. C.Monitor the surroundings. D.Distinguish tomatoes from other plants. 33.Why does the author mention the 2024 labor report in paragraph 3? A.To express concem about the farm profits. B.To stress the necessity of harvesting robots. C.To show the achievements of Four Growers D.To call for public support for the farm industry. 34.According to Contino,what makes greenhouse farms a better target for Four Growers? A.Higher harvesting frequency. B.Greener than outside farms. C.A greater number of consumers. D.Awider range of crops. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Autonomous Tech is Coming to Farming. B.Seed for a Farm's Future-Farm Management. C.Four Growers Robots Help Greenhouse Harvest. D.Labor Shortages and Farmer Adaptation Strategies. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Picture this:everyone's gathered around the table,plates full,but half the family stares at glowing screens instead of each other's faces.This scene plays out in countless homes across America every single night.What 第5页，共8页 started as occasional phone checks has evolved into overall device dependency that follows families right to their dining table. Remember when meals meant storytelling,laughter,and actual eye contact? Before smartphones existed,families naturally gathered around the dining tame to share their day,discuss plans.and enjoy each other's company. Research shows that the average American family spends less than 20 minutes eating dinner together, with much of that time spent interacting with screens.The cell phone transformed from a communication tool into a dining companion.38 Unlike real conversation,screens demand attention without giving anything meaningful back to the family dynamic. The physical health consequences are equally concerning.Mindless eating becomes the norm when attention splits hetween food and screens.People eat faster,chew less,and often consume more calories without realizing it.3 Creating a phone-free zone can transform food time from a rushed obligation into genuine family time that everyone looks forward to.When screens disappear from the table,something magical happens:People start noticing each other again.40 Even the food tastes better when everyone is fully engaged in what they're eating. A.Frankly,it's not great company. B.Fhrose days weren't that long ago. C.That dinner wasn't unique,and that's the problem. D.Dinner conversations teach children essential skills. E.fechnology has slowly but surely entered our dining spaces. F.Conversations flow more naturally and laughter comes more easily. u.Thishabit contributes to poor digestion and unhealthy eating patterns. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（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。 In the 1980s I worked in Sudan.One day I was returning from El Obeid to the capital,Khartoum.After weeks of dust and extreme 41,two colleagues,our driver and I were thankful to travel across the desert at night, when it'd be cooler.We 42 at sundown for what should have been a six-hour trip.

For Li Baozhi,who has been in the trade for decades and now works'with a time-honored food brand known for traditional Beijing flawors,the appeal of the traditional :arery)lies in their simplicity."The sales were even60(strong)in the past,because there was less choice,but now people have more options-you can eat mooncakes,or hairy crabs instead."

Every afternoon,the music room was filled with laughter and the light thud of little feet.Carlos taught the students movements that celebrated the season.He loved watching them bounce,spin,and leap to the rhythm.The room was alive with energy,alive with motion,alive with spring. But there was something that weighed on his heart.A girl named Luna always sat quietly in the corner.Carlos knew that Luna had difficulty walking.Her legs did not move like those of the other children. Day after day,he saw her sitting there,and each time he felt a knot tighten in his stomach.He noticed the way her eyes followed the other children as they moved across the floor.There was longing in those eyes-a quiet, painful wish to be one of them.He wanted to include her.But how?The dance had been built around movements Luna could not do. Then one afternoon,Carlos was demonstrating a new set of steps.Soft music drifted through the room-a gentle tune about spring,about tiny green shoots pushing through the cold earth.The students followed along, pretending to be seeds waking from winter sleep. Carlos turned around to check on their progress.That was when he saw Luna.She was still sitting in her corner,but her small hands were moving gently in the air.Her fingers opened like tender leaves unfolding.They reached upward like a young plant searching for sunlight after a long winter.Her upper body swayed ( slightly,like a small tree bending in a soft spring breeze. She was not just watching.She was dancing with her hands-a small,quiet dance of spring,of life beginning again.She looked like a tiny tree,still delicate,yet already reaching for the light.Her fingers trembled like new leaves,fragile in the cold air,yet brave enough to appear. 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。 Para.1:Carlos felt something hit his chest-a tiny tree.
