Rebel Rollers Helsinki skates indoors every Sunday. Zilcher runs informal classes and tours, too, warming up on the western side of Töölö Bay, which has views of the Opera House. The eastern side is hilly, which is only suitable for experienced skaters. London, UK — For all levels Being skilled at managing stops, turns and controlling speed is the requirement for participating in the UK capital’s free skate events, London Friday Night Skate and Sunday Stroll. Both attract hundreds of skaters who skate along routes ranging around Camden, Barnes and Putney. Beginners can also have fun in London. They can learn the basics at Roller Nation or practice on their own. Berlin, Germany — For inline skaters Berlin-based instructor Oumi Janta went popular in social media for her beautiful skating moves in buttercup yellow shorts and is credited for kickstarting the city’s roller-skating fever. Skaters can tour Flaeming Skate, a network of eight paths covering 140 miles through forests, grasslands and villages. Inline skates, which have four wheels in a line, are also popular in the city. This year, skaters can participate in Generali Berlin Half Marathon on 3 April, 30 July and 25 September. “Only in Berlin can you skate throughout the city, right past all the sights, making the longest skating journey in Europe,” says one skater. “The finish line is behind the Brandenburg Gate.” Vienna, Austria — ____________ In Vienna, more people are choosing to roller-skate because it’s a sustainable form of transport. Gerhard Ladstätter organizes Vienna’s Friday Night Skating, a free event that attracts 2,500 people between May and October. He says, “The idea behind Friday Night Skating was and still is easy: take back the streets from cars. We want to move without burning fuel.” The event starts at the Prince Eugene Statue. Routes vary. Beginners can skate past picnickers and outdoor cafes along the Donaukanal — the section after Friedensbrücke Metro is the quietest. Middle-level skaters can deal with Donauinsel Island, a man-made island with gardens. 21. According to the passage, skaters looking for long-distance skating can skate in ________. A. Helsinki, Finland B. London, UK C. Berlin, Germany D. Vienna, Austria 22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Rebel Rollers Helsinki tend to launch competitive events. B. London’s free skate events are suitable for beginners. C. Oumi Janta began the rollerskating craze in Berlin. D. Donauinsel Island in Vienna is designed for beginners. 23. Which of the following best fits as the subtitle for Vienna, Austria? A. For entertainment seekers B. For beginners C. For quiet skaters D. For eco-fighters B After spending most of his life on commercial cruises (游船), Guillaume Picard is now fighting to keep these vast ships out of the French port of Marseille. The former captain’s new crew is a growing group of activists called “Stop Croisières”, or Stop Cruises, the core of whom now numbers between 50 and 100, says Picard, including lawyers and ecologists. This non-violent organization mainly educates the public through leaflets and prevents the cruises through banners (横幅). Few people know the sea better than Guillaume Picard. He grew up on a boat in the port of Hyères in southern France, and spent 30 years as a commercial captain, ferrying tourists and containers across the Mediterranean. Now aged 65, it is with no small note of bitterness that he says, “When I go hiking, I find the mountains are an environment much better preserved.” Picard’s beloved sea is being destroyed, he believes, by cruises. Fifteen years ago, they were a rare sight in Marseille. Now, France’s second city is one of Europe’s busiest cruise ports. Last year, 2.5 million passengers stopped off, according to the port authority, a million more than the year before. Faced with this new reality, Picard couldn’t wait to become the sea’s protector, replacing his captain’s whites with the all-black of a non-violent activist. For Picard, the switch from boat captain to protector has been a long journey of self-education. He has regrets about his former career as a commercial sailor, but is trying to share his knowledge of the maritime (海运的) world with as many people as possible in the hope that it can be useful. “I certainly feel guilty,” he says. “It’s guilt for having participated in the destruction of life. But maybe that is the engine that makes me an activist now.” 24. What do we learn about the group “Stop Croisières”? A. It is under Picard’s leadership. B. It has brought sizable profits. C. It requires violence in some cases. D. It consists of former sailors only. 25. Why did Picard feel it an urge to protect the sea? A. Because he lost trust in the port authority. B. Because he retired from commercial ships. C. Because he witnessed a sharp rise in cruises. D. Because he was tired of hiking in mountains. 26. Which of the following best describes old Picard? A. Greedy and calculating. B. Organized and generous. C. Conservative and dreamy. D. Responsible and devoted. 27. What does Picard’s story show? A. Better late than never. B. Look before you leap. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Opportunity knocks but once. C The Caspian Sea, the world’s largest inland water body, is declining, according to a new study published in Communications Earth & Environment. The study reports the water sources that typically feed the sea are contributing less and less water. So much so that these sources cannot keep up with evaporation (蒸发). If global temperatures rise by 2 °C, the sea’s water levels could drop by 16-32 feet, which means 4 out of 10 ecosystem types unique to the Caspian Sea would disappear completely. The Caspian Sea is home to a variety of life. Six sturgeon (鲟鱼) species live within the sea. In the Caspian Sea, sturgeon typically reside in shallower waters during the summer and fall and lay eggs in the rivers that flow into the sea. A drop in water levels would prevent them from accessing these grounds, which could lead to population decline. The sea is also a hot spot for some seabirds. They usually take shelter in the coastal wetlands, but it’s possible those could dry up as well. The Caspian Sea touches five countries-Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan- and a drop in water levels could seriously impact trade routes vital to the economies of these countries, as low water levels could prevent ships from docking (入港). Besides, the exposed dry seabed is likely to release dust containing industrial pollutants and salt, posing serious threats to human health . A dropping water level could also alter the climate of the region, thus impacting the area’s agriculture. But all hope is not lost. “Some Caspian Sea level decline appears unavoidable,” Simon Goodman from the University of Leeds said in a press release. “However, with the anticipated effects unfolding over a few decades, it should be possible to find ways to protect biodiversity while safeguarding human interests and wellbeing. That might sound like a long timescale, but, given the immense political, legal and practical challenges involved, it is advisable to start action as soon as possible to give the best chance of success.” 28. What is a fundamental driver for the Caspian Sea’s water crisis? A. Reduced inflow of feeder rivers. B. Industrial pollution of coastal plants. C. Increased evaporation of the Caspian Sea. D. Sudden disappearance of the ecosystems. 29. Why are sturgeon populations threatened by the decline of water levels? A. Seabirds compete for their food. B. They lose access to coastal wetlands C. They can’t reach rivers to reproduce. D. The shallower summer habitats dry up. 30. What could be a likely consequence of the drying process? A. Establishment of trade routes. B. Release of seabed pollutants. C. Expansion of local agriculture D. Alteration of regional integration 31. What does Simon Goodman’s suggest to address the problem? A. Local community relocation. B. Resignation to biodiversity loss. C. Emphasis on economic interests. D. Urgent cross-border cooperation D Space agencies have been treating the idea of living on Mars (火星) a long-term goal. However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate. let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. Shipping material from Earth would be far too unrealistic. A practical approach, as is published on the website NASA Science, is to build with what is already on Mars. NASA has collected samples of Martian soil that may contain evidence of very early life. That raises a bigger question: if microorganisms (微生物) once lived on Mars, could they also help us build there? The focus is biomineralization — microorganisms create minerals as part of their metabolism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions. The work centers on a partnership between two bacteria: Sporosarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is known for creating calcium carbonate, and Chroococcidiopsis (拟甲色球藻), a strong cyanobacterium that can survive extreme environments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian conditions. Together, they transform loose soil into a solid, concrete-like material. The long-term vision is to combine this bacterial co-culture with Martian soil and use it as feedstock (原料) for 3D printing on Mars. If it works in volume, it could change how structures are made on this red planet. The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化). Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction. 32. Why is a shelter of vital importance on Mars? A. Because material from Earth can’t be used. B. Because too many space agencies want to stay. C. Because its conditions are deadly for Earth life. D. Because space agencies target long-term research. 33. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Boom. B. Sink. C. Communicate. D. Disappear. 34. What can be inferred about the construction work? A. It is an incredibly fast process. B. It may bring about added bonus. C. It has been tested and confirmed. D. It takes just two types of bacteria. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas. C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications. 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。 In today’s world, we are constantly surrounded by media — from newspapers and television to social media. Faced with this flood of messages, how can we tell what’s true, what’s biased, and what’s meant to influence us? 36 Media literacy (素养) is the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they’re sending. It’s recognized as a key skill in the 21st century. 37 Therefore, learning how to think critically about media is not just helpful — it’s essential. 38 As early as the 1920s, organizations in the UK encouraged people to be more thoughtful media users. At the time, the goal was mostly to protect audiences, especially young people, from media influence. However, with the rise of television, media consumption only grew, while interest in teaching media literacy declined. Things began to change again with the arrival of the Internet and mobile devices. 39 This shift led educators and researchers to renew their focus — not on avoiding media, but on using it wisely. Research confirms the benefits of education of media literacy. Media literacy programs can reduce body dissatisfaction, especially among young women exposed to unrealistic beauty standards. 40 These findings suggest that media literacy not only protects us from harm, but also supports healthier, more thoughtful living. So, how can we practice media literacy? Experts suggest examining media through four lenses: cognitive (what it says), emotional (how it feels), aesthetic (how it looks), and moral (what values it promotes). By doing so, we become more active and empowered media users. A. That’s where media literacy comes in. B. The concept of media literacy has a long history. C. Now, people can access media anytime and anywhere. D. This is likely to promote your health and happiness. E. They can also prevent the spread of misinformation. F. Studies show that media can influence our behaviors often without us realizing it. G. Modern media literacy education teaches people to question what they see and hear. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Two Kiwis, one Singaporean, and one Indian walked into a bar. This wasn’t the start of a joke, but the beginning of a deep 41 . We met at the False Creek shore for dragon boat practice. 42 our interaction was purely functional, centered on paddles (桨) and race schedules. However, as we paddled along, the shared experience began to break our 43 . Despite its breathtaking natural beauty, Vancouver is a place where making friends often feels no less 44 than finding an affordable apartment. As immigrants from sun-heavy places, we were all 45 to adapt to the city’s grey weather and even “greyer” 46 climate. In this environment, dragon boating served as a breakthrough, for it is a sport that brings people back to their 47 . In a boat, no one cares about your background; you simply move as one. This spirit soon 48 our lives off the water, and our weekly gatherings after practice naturally became our 49 . We bonded over shared 50 — the impossible rental market and the “polite” social scene where plans for hiking always 51 . Yet, when we were together, these 52 mattered less. We weren’t just surviving the city’s coldness; we were 53 a micro-community of our own. One summer night, after a major festival, we danced by the waterfront. In that golden moment, we realized we had 54 what we came for. We were four strangers from different continents, but dragon boating gave us a place to 55 , a reason to stay and a rhythm to move forward by — together. 41.

This could minimise the risk of deaths. The 58 (benefit) of having a female physician appear to be greatest for female patients. One of the papers that 59 (publish) by the Boston researchers in April this year found that although older patients of either gender were less likely to die after treatment by a female doctor, 60 effect was far larger for female patients (3%) than it was for male ones (around 0.8%). A study of heart-attack patients in Florida from 2018 found the same general trend, as did an 61 (analyze) of surgery patients by the Canadian researchers in 2021. In the latter study, women operated 62 by female surgeons were 25% less likely to die than those 63 (treat) by male ones. Part of the explanation may be 64 female physicians understand the needs of female patients better than their male peers. Female patients report better communication and stronger bond with female doctors, for example. 65 (understand) why such differences in care arise will help all doctors improve their practice. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，是校英语报“健康生活”版块的负责人。最近你们版块即将面向学生推出一个主题为How to Achieve a Healthy Lifestyle in a Digital Age?的论坛，请你以此为题写一篇文章，刊登在校英语报上，内容包括： 1．指出现代人不健康的生活习惯；2．提出科技赋能健康的例子；3．呼吁个人与社会努力。 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Jake had just put on his sneakers when his phone buzzed. It was a message from Ryan: “Meet at the park in 15 minutes?” Jake smiled. It had been a long week of school, and he couldn’t wait to play basketball with his friends. Just as he was heading out, his mom called from the kitchen. “Jake! Come back! I need your help with the storage room.” “But Mom?” I told Ryan I’d meet him at the park.” Jake protested. “We talked about this. Grandma is moving in this weekend, so we need to clean out the storage room to make space for her.” “Grandma?” Jake thought, the word feeling almost foreign on his tongue. He didn’t even know her that well-it had been years since she last visited, and now she was moving in? He couldn’t believe he had to give up his Saturday for someone he barely knew. With complaints and sighs, he kicked at the floor as he trudged down the hallway, dragging his feet like they weighed a ton. Stepping into the storage room, his nose wrinkled in disgust. The place was a disaster. Spiderwebs drooped from every corner, and dust swirled in the sunlight like dirty smoke. Boxes teetered in unstable stacks, a rolled-up carpet with worn edges lay half-spilled across the floor, and forgotten junk crowded every inch. Jake let out a long, dramatic sigh-this job was going to take forever. Just as he was about to give up and sneak a text to Ryan, a faded blue album tucked at the bottom of the suitcase caught his eye. Faint words were etched on its leather cover: Stories with Jake (To Be Continued…). He pulled it out and flipped it open-the pages were filled with moments of him and his grandmother. On the very first page was a photo: his grandmother, much younger then, cradling a tiny baby wrapped in a soft blanket. At the bottom of the photo he saw some words in careful handwriting: “Glad to meet you, baby Jake.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist. ________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. _____________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
