Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism. Wildlife Viewing Responsible wildlife viewing offers the chance to observe animals behaving naturally and moving freely within healthy ecosystems. This may involve guided forest walks to spot birds, watching elephants walking across open plains, or observing whales from a distance. Cultural Ecotourism Cultural ecotourism offers insight into local traditions and lifestyles. Experiences may include learning from long-established communities, visiting important sites, or joining nature-related activities. Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community’s own terms. Hiking and Recreation Hiking and recreation ecotourism activities might include cycling along coastlines, or snowshoeing through valleys. These activities slow the pace of travel, making it easier to notice details like wildflowers or bird songs that are often missed. To be considered ecotourism, recreational activities must follow the Leave No Trace principles, stay on selected roads and park legally. Citizen Science and Voluntourism Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. These experiences give participants a clearer understanding of environmental challenges while supporting scientific research. Well-designed activities create a mutually beneficial exchange: travelers learn from local experts, and conservation programs gain extra capacity. 1. Which experience requires local permission? A. Wildlife Viewing. B. Cultural Ecotourism. C. Hiking and Recreation. D. Citizen Science and Voluntourism. 2. Which activity belongs to Citizen Science and Voluntourism? A. Riding trained elephants. B. Repairing natural paths. C. Visiting tourist-only villages. D. Taking photos with dolphins closely. 3. What is the author’s purpose of writing the blog? A. To tell travel stories. B. To explain overtourism. C. To introduce real ecotourism. D. To show fun outdoor activities. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了真正的生态旅游的四种类型——野生动物观赏、文化生态旅游、徒步与休闲以及公民科学与志愿旅游。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cultural Ecotourism部分中“Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community's own terms. (此类活动必须获得当地社区的许可，并应直接惠及社区，确保遗产以社区自身的方式分享。)”可知，文化生态旅游需要获得当地社区的许可。。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Citizen Science and Voluntourism部分中“Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. (公民科学和志愿旅游让旅行者参与动手保护活动，如野生动物监测、栖息地恢复或道路维护。)”可知，修复自然步道属于公民科学与志愿旅游的范畴。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Not every outdoor or nature-based activity qualifies as ecotourism. Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism. (并非所有户外或以自然为基础的活动都符合生态旅游的定义。过度旅游已经清楚地表明了这一点。正如我们在博客中所述，生态旅游主要包括野生动物观赏、文化生态旅游、徒步旅行与休闲活动以及公民科学与志愿旅游。)”可知，全文围绕“什么才是真正的生态旅游”展开，逐一介绍四种类型及其标准，目的是向读者介绍真正的生态旅游。 B In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich. This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda. Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis,” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.” This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world. Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve. 4. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project? A. A repaired item. B. A donation campaign. C. A volunteer appeal. D. A classic handcraft. 5. What does the sharpening service bring to Alan? A. An optimistic attitude to life. B. Better treatments of cancer. C. A steady economic support. D. Improved professional skills. 6. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. analytical. B. mindful. C. curious. D. independent. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. A Mutual Support Community B. Commitments to Transition Crich C. Volunteering for Inclusive Initiatives D. The Emergence of the Share and Repair Projects 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了Crich村的“分享与修理”项目，通过志愿服务和环保活动促进社区互助与代际融合。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.(这个项目始于五年前，当时当地杂志询问是否有人有兴趣作为志愿者聚集在一起，让他们的村庄变得更可持续、更环保。)”可知，该项目是由当地杂志一次招募志愿者的呼吁启发并开始的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Alan的话“Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet.(参与其中帮助我塑造了积极的心态，并帮助延长了我在地球上的时间。)”可知，参与磨刀服务给Alan带来了积极乐观的生活态度。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.(一场摄影比赛鼓励人们在拍照时对自然保持cognizant。该组织还与一所小学合作开展环保意识项目，帮助年轻学生学会修复与自然世界的联系。)”可知，画线词“cognizant”与后文“environmental awareness(环保意识)”相呼应，意为“意识到的、留心的”，与“mindful”最接近。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.(无论是志愿者还是活动参与者，社区都从参与Transition Crich中受益匪浅。众所周知，孤独并非某一特定社会群体所独有。像Transition Crich这样的包容性举措真正美妙之处在于，它们能够弥合代际鸿沟，以原本难以实现的方式把不同年龄的人聚集在一起。)”可知，文章强调该项目促进社区互助与代际融合，A项“A Mutual Support Community(一个互助社区)”最能概括文章核心主旨，适合作文章标题。 C In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food has not been fully explored until now. The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks. During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer. The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell. 8. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells? A. To reduce waste in the food industry. B. To improve the taste of processed foods. C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives. D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine. 9. What was the primary aim of the microbiological evaluation? A. To find the substances cashew nut contains. B. To analyse the changes in pH and water activity. C. To ensure the safety of refrigerated beef. D. To check the effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria. 10. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL? A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. Its concentration affects the storage life. C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. It performs best at room temperature. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL? A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Fully convinced. C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍科研人员从废弃的腰果壳中提取腰果壳液（CNSL），通过实验验证其天然抑菌保鲜的作用，并指出该物质后续还有待进一步研究。 【8题详解】 详解理解题。根据第一段“In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought ‘clean-label’ foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell.(近年来消费者愈发青睐‘清洁标签’食品，即采用天然而非人工配料制成的产品。这一趋势促使科学家寻找安全的天然防腐剂，于是他们把目光投向腰果壳这一通常被丢弃的部分。)”可知，科学家研究腰果壳意在寻找可以替代人工防腐剂的天然物质。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp.(储存期间开展详尽的微生物检测，统计活菌总数以及假单胞菌、梭菌、变形杆菌等特定腐败菌的数量。)”以及“The scientists discovered that the CNSL‑treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat.(科学家发现经过腰果壳液处理的肉细菌增殖明显少于未处理的肉。)”可知，微生物评估的主要目的是检验腰果壳液抑制细菌的效果。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.(浓度越高效果越强，2.0%浓度的溶液保鲜效果优异，同时可以保证肉质。即便室温环境下，它也能够延缓变酸、抑制细菌繁殖，延长牛肉外观新鲜时长。)”可知，腰果壳液的浓度会影响肉类的储存时长。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.(研究者指出仍需开展后续研究，确认该液体是否影响牛肉风味口感，以及如何和现代包装技术结合以优化效果。即便如此，这项研究为探索天然食物保鲜途径开辟了方向，而这一保鲜物质就藏在不起眼的腰果壳之中。)”可知，作者一方面承认尚有问题有待研究，另一方面认可这项研究的前景，态度审慎乐观。 D On a hot summer day, a cold drink is a welcome treat. But the cooling technology behind it comes at a cost. Traditional refrigerators use gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are powerful contributors to global warming. Finding a better way has long been an unsolved problem. Now, scientists have developed a new cooling method that may change this. Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a technique called ionocaloric (离子热) cooling. As the name suggests, it uses ions — charged particles (粒子) — to create a cooling effect. The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling: melting takes heat. You’ve seen this on a winter road — salt on ice causes it to melt, even in freezing temperatures. The ionocaloric cycle also uses salt to change a liquid’s phase and cool its surroundings. Through modeling, the team predicted that moving ions could change a material’s melting point, allowing it to absorb heat on demand. To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt — sodium iodide — into a liquid, ethylene carbonate (EC，碳酸乙烯酯). When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt. As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice. The team measured a temperature drop of 25℃ with less than one volt — outperforming other similar technologies. These results point to a bigger story. The system balances efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Early tests show promise in all three. One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO2, meaning the system could be carbon negative. It avoids harm and helps clean up. “The ionocaloric cycle has the potential to meet all these goals,” said Drew Lilley, the leading engineer. If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab to the real world. With further development, these systems could one day provide both cooling and heating — without harming the planet. 12. What is the principle of the ionocaloric cooling? A. Melting absorbs heat from surroundings. B. Expanding gas can produce cooling. C. Electricity can generate heat in materials. D. Salt lowers the freezing point of water. 13. How did researchers test their prediction? A. By reducing the amount of HFCs. B. By measuring CO2 in the atmosphere. C. By monitoring real-time winter road conditions. D. By conducting current in a salt-containing liquid. 14. Why does the author stress EC can be made from CO2? A. To state how the system cuts HFCs. B. To prove the system can save electricity. C. To explain how the system brings cooling effect. D. To show the system can help ease global warming. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards ionocaloric cooling? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Dismissive. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一种新型离子热制冷技术，它利用盐离子改变物质熔点来吸热降温，环保且前景广阔。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling: melting takes heat.(这一想法建立在一个简单的物理过程和理论模型之上：融化吸收热量。)”可知，离子热制冷的基本原理是物质融化时会从周围环境吸收热量。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt — sodium iodide — into a liquid, ethylene carbonate (EC，碳酸乙烯酯). When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt.(为了验证这一预测，科学家将一种盐——碘化钠——混入液体碳酸乙烯酯中。当施加微小电流时，盐离子发生移动，改变了液体的熔点，使其融化。)”可知，研究人员是通过在含盐液体中通电来验证他们的预测的。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO2, meaning the system could be carbon negative. It avoids harm and helps clean up.(原因之一是工作液体EC可以由二氧化碳制成，这意味着该系统可能实现碳负排放。它避免危害并有助于清理。)”可知，作者强调EC可由二氧化碳制成，是为了说明该系统能消耗二氧化碳，从而有助于缓解全球变暖。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab to the real world. With further development, these systems could one day provide both cooling and heating — without harming the planet.(如果成功，这项技术可以帮助各国实现《基加利修正案》的目标，该修正案旨在将HFC使用量减少80%。如今，研究人员面临下一个挑战：将这项技术从实验室推向现实世界。随着进一步发展，这些系统有朝一日可以在不伤害地球的情况下同时提供制冷和供暖。)”可知，作者认为这项技术潜力巨大且对环境友好，对其未来发展持充满希望的乐观态度。 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。 I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____18____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. ____19____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____20____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. Some mornings were more reflective than active. D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. G. It drove me to resolve to get rid of the anxiety. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. B 19. C 20.

It wasn't my fault that I lost it; it was just what happens when a government contract isn’t renewed. My full-time job now was finding a full-time job. I searched diligently and tried everything I knew to find work, but without success. Weeks went by. If I didn’t find a job soon, I wouldn’t be able to pay the rent on my apartment — a modest two-bedroom in a four-story walkup. And then what? It was the early 1970s, and job hunting was done the 1970s way. Print copies of your résumé (简历). Mark the jobs you think you might qualify for. Write a hello-I’m-wonderful cover letter, put it in an envelope with your résumé, and mail it to the employer. Make phone calls and knock on every door. One Saturday morning, the knock came on my door. Silently grumbling (抱怨), I arose and walked down the hall, temporarily abandoning my collection of Help Wanted ads and stack of résumés on the kitchen table. Why was it that every time I got my daughter settled down with her toys and started my job search, someone interrupted me? “Hi,” said a smiling woman in jeans when I opened the door. “I’m Melba. I just moved in upstairs. Can I borrow your phone for a minute? I’d like to call the phone company and ask them to turn mine on.” A neighbor in need — of course, I would help. “Hi, Melba. Sure, come on in. I’m Carole,” I said, leading the attractive woman who looked about my age — early thirties — to the phone mounted on my kitchen wall. “Help yourself while I run into the other room and check on my little one.” Returning a few minutes later, I found Melba holding the phone to her ear and looking down at my résumé on the table. Apparently, the phone-company rep had placed her on hold for a moment. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, her conversation was finished , and I invited her to sit down. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was the most informal job interview I’d ever had. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Soon, her conversation was finished , and I invited her to sit down. She asked why I had so many résumés on the table. I told her that I lost my job and was trying hard to find a new one. She listened carefully, nodding her head from time to time. I could see that she was genuinely interested in what I was saying. Melba smiled and said she owned a small company which needed a person like me. She asked me to talk about my old job and skills, and I answered her questions carefully. It was the most informal job interview I’d ever had. When we finished talking, Melba told me I could get the job. I was so excited that I almost cried. She said I could start working the next week, which made me feel relaxed at last. I thanked her deeply, knowing that a warm heart could bring great luck in life. I hoped this would be the start of a new chapter in my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者失业后积极寻找工作，却一直未果。在一个周六的早晨，新搬来的邻居Melba来借电话，看到了作者放在桌上的简历，从而引发了一场非正式的求职对话的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，她的谈话结束了，我邀请她坐下。”可知，第一段可描写Melba询问简历相关情况，作者说明失业困境，Melba提及自己公司缺人，开启非正式面试。 ②由第二段首句内容“那是我经历过的最不正式的面试。”可知，第二段可描写面试结束后Melba录用作者，作者的激动心情，以及作者由此获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：坐下聊天 —— 询问简历 —— 说明困境 —— 提及缺人 —— 面试结束 —— 录用入职 —— 心生感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 丢失工作：lose one’s job /be out of work /lose employment ② 寻找工作：find a new job /look for a job /hunt for a job ③ 回答问题：answer questions /reply to questions /respond to questions ④ 获得工作：get the job /obtain the job /gain the job 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited /thrilled/joyful ② 放松的：relaxed/at ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】She asked why I had so many résumés on the table.

Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism. Wildlife Viewing Responsible wildlife viewing offers the chance to observe animals behaving naturally and moving freely within healthy ecosystems. This may involve guided forest walks to spot birds, watching elephants walking across open plains, or observing whales from a distance. Cultural Ecotourism Cultural ecotourism offers insight into local traditions and lifestyles. Experiences may include learning from long-established communities, visiting important sites, or joining nature-related activities. Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community’s own terms. Hiking and Recreation Hiking and recreation ecotourism activities might include cycling along coastlines, or snowshoeing through valleys. These activities slow the pace of travel, making it easier to notice details like wildflowers or bird songs that are often missed. To be considered ecotourism, recreational activities must follow the Leave No Trace principles, stay on selected roads and park legally. Citizen Science and Voluntourism Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. These experiences give participants a clearer understanding of environmental challenges while supporting scientific research. Well-designed activities create a mutually beneficial exchange: travelers learn from local experts, and conservation programs gain extra capacity. 1. Which experience requires local permission? A. Wildlife Viewing. B. Cultural Ecotourism. C. Hiking and Recreation. D. Citizen Science and Voluntourism. 2. Which activity belongs to Citizen Science and Voluntourism? A. Riding trained elephants. B. Repairing natural paths. C. Visiting tourist-only villages. D. Taking photos with dolphins closely. 3. What is the author’s purpose of writing the blog? A. To tell travel stories. B. To explain overtourism. C. To introduce real ecotourism. D. To show fun outdoor activities. B In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich. This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda. Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis,” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.” This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world. Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve. 4. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project? A. A repaired item. B. A donation campaign. C. A volunteer appeal. D. A classic handcraft. 5. What does the sharpening service bring to Alan? A. An optimistic attitude to life. B. Better treatments of cancer. C. A steady economic support. D. Improved professional skills. 6. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. analytical. B. mindful. C. curious. D. independent. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. A Mutual Support Community B. Commitments to Transition Crich C. Volunteering for Inclusive Initiatives D. The Emergence of the Share and Repair Projects C In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food has not been fully explored until now. The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks. During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer. The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell. 8. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells? A. To reduce waste in the food industry. B. To improve the taste of processed foods. C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives. D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine. 9. What was the primary aim of the microbiological evaluation? A. To find the substances cashew nut contains. B. To analyse the changes in pH and water activity. C. To ensure the safety of refrigerated beef. D. To check the effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria. 10. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL? A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. Its concentration affects the storage life. C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. It performs best at room temperature. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL? A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Fully convinced. C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective. D On a hot summer day, a cold drink is a welcome treat. But the cooling technology behind it comes at a cost. Traditional refrigerators use gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are powerful contributors to global warming. Finding a better way has long been an unsolved problem. Now, scientists have developed a new cooling method that may change this. Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a technique called ionocaloric (离子热) cooling. As the name suggests, it uses ions — charged particles (粒子) — to create a cooling effect. The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling: melting takes heat. You’ve seen this on a winter road — salt on ice causes it to melt, even in freezing temperatures. The ionocaloric cycle also uses salt to change a liquid’s phase and cool its surroundings. Through modeling, the team predicted that moving ions could change a material’s melting point, allowing it to absorb heat on demand. To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt — sodium iodide — into a liquid, ethylene carbonate (EC，碳酸乙烯酯). When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt. As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice. The team measured a temperature drop of 25℃ with less than one volt — outperforming other similar technologies. These results point to a bigger story. The system balances efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Early tests show promise in all three. One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO2, meaning the system could be carbon negative. It avoids harm and helps clean up. “The ionocaloric cycle has the potential to meet all these goals,” said Drew Lilley, the leading engineer. If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab to the real world. With further development, these systems could one day provide both cooling and heating — without harming the planet. 12. What is the principle of the ionocaloric cooling? A. Melting absorbs heat from surroundings. B. Expanding gas can produce cooling. C. Electricity can generate heat in materials. D. Salt lowers the freezing point of water. 13. How did researchers test their prediction? A. By reducing the amount of HFCs. B. By measuring CO2 in the atmosphere. C. By monitoring real-time winter road conditions. D. By conducting current in a salt-containing liquid. 14. Why does the author stress EC can be made from CO2? A. To state how the system cuts HFCs. B. To prove the system can save electricity. C. To explain how the system brings cooling effect. D. To show the system can help ease global warming. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards ionocaloric cooling? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Dismissive. 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。 I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before.

This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. Some mornings were more reflective than active. D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E.

But it is still uncertain ____37____ first came up with the idea. The Romans played a game called paganica, in which a ball stuffed with feathers and wool ____38____ (hit) with a bent stick, while the Dutch played a stick-and-ball game called colf as early as the 13th century. But the most interesting — and in many ways convincing — evidence ever ____39____ (document) of an early version of golf comes from China. A game called chuiwan became popular in the Song dynasty.

The job I had lost was a good job, and I was good at it. It wasn't my fault that I lost it; it was just what happens when a government contract isn’t renewed. My full-time job now was finding a full-time job. I searched diligently and tried everything I knew to find work, but without success. Weeks went by. If I didn’t find a job soon, I wouldn’t be able to pay the rent on my apartment — a modest two-bedroom in a four-story walkup. And then what? It was the early 1970s, and job hunting was done the 1970s way. Print copies of your résumé (简历). Mark the jobs you think you might qualify for. Write a hello-I’m-wonderful cover letter, put it in an envelope with your résumé, and mail it to the employer. Make phone calls and knock on every door. One Saturday morning, the knock came on my door. Silently grumbling (抱怨), I arose and walked down the hall, temporarily abandoning my collection of Help Wanted ads and stack of résumés on the kitchen table. Why was it that every time I got my daughter settled down with her toys and started my job search, someone interrupted me? “Hi,” said a smiling woman in jeans when I opened the door. “I’m Melba. I just moved in upstairs. Can I borrow your phone for a minute? I’d like to call the phone company and ask them to turn mine on.” A neighbor in need — of course, I would help. “Hi, Melba. Sure, come on in. I’m Carole,” I said, leading the attractive woman who looked about my age — early thirties — to the phone mounted on my kitchen wall. “Help yourself while I run into the other room and check on my little one.” Returning a few minutes later, I found Melba holding the phone to her ear and looking down at my résumé on the table. Apparently, the phone-company rep had placed her on hold for a moment. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, her conversation was finished , and I invited her to sit down. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was the most informal job interview I’d ever had. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
