Thank a Shark Sharks are not just top predators (捕食动物) in the ocean; they are crucial to the health of marine ecosystems. With over 500 species ranging from the tiny dwarf lantern shark to the vast whale shark, these creatures 41 waters from polar ice to the equator. Their presence in the open ocean, coastal waters, and even some rivers, signifies their ecological significance. Sharks play a multifaceted role in maintaining ecological balance. Predatory species like tiger and white sharks have a disproportionally large influence on their environment through predation and by simply being present, which 42 the behavior and distribution of prey species. A recent study highlights the alarming trend of shark population decline, with global numbers dropping by over 70% since 1970, largely due to unsustainable fishing 43 . Research from Western Australia shows that the presence of tiger sharks can shape entire seagrass ecosystems, preventing overgrazing (过度放牧) and fostering the growth of dense underwater meadows that are crucial 44 for young fish and shellfish. In contrast, the absence of these top predators can lead to overgrazing and ecosystem imbalance, as seen in Bermuda’s seagrass 45 due to an expanding turtle population. Sharks are also a food source for other marine animals and can contribute to nutrient 46 in the ocean. They help move nutrients from offshore feeding areas to coastal zones, enriching food webs. In Florida, young bull sharks bring nutrients from the ocean back to rivers, 47 in the fertilization of these ecosystems. Conservation efforts must recognize the importance of sharks beyond their mere existence; it’s their ecological roles that are essential. Protecting key species and individuals, such as large tiger sharks, is crucial. Establishing large marine protected areas to 48 shark fishing and enforcing regulations on harmful fishing tools like gill nets and longlines are steps in the right direction. It is vital to work with coastal communities to create a(n) 49 of shark conservation, similar to the efforts to protect terrestrial (陆地的) predators. With a clearer understanding of sharks’ ecological 50 , the hope is for focused action at all levels to ensure these critical animals continue to play their vital role in the ocean’s health and biodiversity. Protecting sharks is not just about saving a species; it’s about preserving the complex balance of marine life that sustains our planet’s. III. Reading Comprehension（45分） Section A（15分） Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Voluntourism first emerged at scale in the 1990s. Since then, the industry has grown rapidly and now offers a wide variety of options. Volunteers can find themselves building houses in Honduras, teaching children in Morocco, or protecting endangered brown bears in central Italy. The sector is 51 by organizations that connect communities in need with volunteers. Some are charities or non-profits, while others are traditional businesses meeting and capitalizing on a healthy demand. Done diligently and 52 , voluntourism can have a transformational impact on both 53 and volunteers, says Alex Tarrant, co-founder of Pod Volunteer. Founded in the early 2000s, the organization focuses on conservation and animal 54 . Its volunteers may care for rescued dogs in Thailand and protect elephants in Namibia. Global Vision International is one of the bigger players in the market. Over the past 25 years, it has placed around 35, 000 volunteers in more than 100 locations around the world. Its long running 55 with the Seychelles government has involved 1,000 participants in marine conservation initiatives. Not all interactions, however, are as mutually 56 . When making money and doing good come together, it is not surprising that ethical issues can arise. If a company lacks ethics, the profit margins (利润空间) in voluntourism can be “very, very high,” says Xavier Font, an expert in sustainability marketing. This is partly because costs are 57 while participants are often willing to pay more for their trips. There can also be an unfair power gap between voluntourism operators and the often desperate projects they partner with. Since companies do not have to 58 their costs, they can easily hide profits and take advantage of the situation. In addition, Font believes that voluntourism often focuses too much on what volunteers want 59 what local communities need. As a result, some participants may take part in projects without having the right 60 . In her book, writer Pippa Biddle describes how people in Tanzania once had to spend a whole night 61 poor-quality work left behind by volunteers. Another concern is that willing but poorly prepared volunteers often 62 work that previous volunteers have already done. A worker at a voluntourism organization reportedly overheard a teacher say: “If one more volunteer comes in and teaches the children to sing ‘head, shoulders, knees, and toes,’ I’m going to scream.” 63 these problems, voluntourism is largely a force for good, concludes Sallie Grayson, co-founder of the non-profit People and Places. “The vast majority of volunteers want to do good, and it’s up to us to 64 that they can,” she said. “Well matched, well-placed volunteers can make a real difference, I’m still 65 of that.” 51. A. restricted B. sustained C. assessed D. transformed 52. A. independently B. competitively C. economically D. ethically 53. A. recipients B. investors C. applicants D. instructors 54. A. behaviour B. reproduction C. welfare D. diversity 55. A. negotiation B. collaboration C. competition D. consultation 56. A. demanding B. predictable C. convenient D. beneficial 57. A. low B. fixed C. shared D. rising 58. A. estimate B. reduce C. reveal D. cover 59. A. regardless of B. rather than C. along with D. because of 60. A. intentions B. connections C. resources D. skills 61. A. fixing B. inspecting C. displaying D. recording 62. A. simplify B. avoid C. repeat D. complete 63. A. Beyond B. Despite C. Through D. Without 64. A. assume B. discover C. explain D. ensure 65. A. convinced B. critical C. doubtful D. ashamed Section B（22分） Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In the 1600s, the terrifying sight of the Jolly Roger could strike fear into the hearts of even the bravest seamen. Pirates had existed for as long as man had sailed the seas, but it was at this time that they truly began to rule the waves. Across the late 17th and early 18th centuries, tremendous quantities of valuable cargo were being transported across the Atlantic Ocean, to and from the American colonies, which prompted experienced sailors and navigators to recklessly rebel and steal the goods for their own profit. Plenty of these imports, such as coffee, sugar, and fabrics, were in high demand and could be sold or traded for a substantial amount. Alongside precious gems, the robbed cargo was able to provide pirates with practical items, such as weaponry and ship equipment, and food and drink. For many, piracy was the only way in which they were able to earn money and survive, and it became as much of a livelihood as it did a chosen way of life. For others, becoming a pirate wasn’t a choice. Often, ships were seized during their crossings and its crews forced to serve under a new command, most especially those who were already experienced at sea or who could provide a particular skill, such as doctors, chefs, and carpenters. Their hives, hidden away on islands in the Caribbean and Indian Oceans, served as launch sites for attacks on enemy outposts and merchant ships. Here, pirates could repair their vessels away from the watchful eye of the Navy, while bars and gambling halls welcome breaks for pirates who had spent months at sea. Over the years, pirates’ lives became easier and even more profitable. Sailors knew these pirates were skilled, well-armed, and willing to risk it all — the chance of winning a battle with them was slim. Ships that did put up a fight were shown no mercy, so their best option was to raise the white flag and surrender. However, as the problem of piracy grew, merchant communities began to take matters into their own hands, arming and equipping ships at their own expense to protect commerce. These ships, captained by ‘privateers’, were licensed by the crown and could attack any enemy ships. Over time, the line between privateer and pirate became unclear. In a world where native populations were being wiped out or bound in chains, pirate life represented freedom and democracy. It’s easy to see why many found it hard to resist the spoils of the Golden Age of Piracy. 66. Pirates targeted ships transporting cargo such as coffee, sugar, and fabrics mainly because these goods were ________________. A. easily sold or traded for huge profits B. necessary for their survival at sea C. scarce resources that they could store D. used as bait (诱饵) to attract more valuable items 67. We can infer from the passage that doctors, chefs, and carpenters on seized ships ________________ A. were attracted by pirates’ life of freedom and democracy B. could provide luxury services on board C. later became pirates unwillingly D. were set free once they reached the hives 68. As merchant communities armed and equipped ships captained by ‘privateers’, the line between privateer and pirate became unclear because ________________. A. both engaged in attacks on merchant ships B. both were licensed by the crown C. both operated from the same islands D. both had similar motives and methods 69. The underlined word “spoil” in the last paragraph is closest to the meaning of ________. A. profits B. damages C. adventures D. pleasures (B) There are a thousand ways to experience a city, but in a city like Athens there are a thousand and one: through a Greek mythology tour. This is a list of mythological places in Athens where you can discover the foundations upon which Classical Athens flourished! 1. The Acropolis and the Divine Contest Acropolis is the most famous sight in Athens and the first one to check off your list if it is your first time in the capital of Greece. Join an Acropolis mythology tour and experience the ancient vibes, traveling back in time to the era of gods and heroes! Become part of the ancient Athenian society and bear witness to the great contest between Athena and Poseidon over the naming of the city. Watch the gods present their gifts to the people and cast your vote to the one you prefer. Will it be Athena or Poseidon this time? Embrace the mythological tales and listen to the strike of spears (矛) and tridents (三叉戟) on the holy Rock of Acropolis! Turn your gaze away and watch the rock of Athena that fell off her hands, creating Lycabettus hill. All you need is a good storyteller and a little bit of imagination 2. The National Gardens and the Nature Spirits Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still right into the center of it, you will find yourselves among hundreds of spirits of nature. The National Gardens, the former Royal Gardens of Queen Amalia, are located just next to Syntagma Square, offering thousands of trees, plants and many ancient ruins. Every indigenous tree has a story to tell from Greek mythology, and every path leads to a new adventure. Walk along the Nymphs, the mortals and their tragic mistakes, the giants and the gods in the forest of transformations! 3. The Areopagus Hill and the God of War The criminal court of ancient Athens and the stage of a mythical trial! Everything started when the gods decided to put Ares, the god of War, on trial for his war crimes. The rock was named after Ares and became the criminal court of Athens. Enjoy the excellent panoramic (全景的) view of Athens that Areopagus Hill offers, while listening to stories of criminals (or not) whose fate was decided right there and then! Join a walking tour with a local storyteller that will guide you to the concepts of life and death for ancient Greeks, 4. The Archaeological Site of Eleusis and the Gate to the Underworld There are many gates to enter the Kingdom of Hades, but there is one very close to Athens. Eleusis is located just 30 minutes away from Athens by car and is home to the most sacred rites (神圣的仪式) of Ancient Greece, the Eleusinian Mysteries. Enter the sacred space, walk where Goddess Demeter walked, according to Greek mythology, searching for her daughter Persephone and learn the mythological origin of the Mysteries, an ancient religion that kept its secrets for more than 1,500 years! For those who are brave enough, try to take a peek inside the gate of Hades, a cave of mystical elements, a three-headed dog and a ferryman that allows you to pass to the realm of the Underworld. 70. We can learn from the passage that ____________. A. visitors use spears in Acropolis to experience the life of ancient Athenians B. the Areopagus Hill demonstrates the concepts of life and death for ancient Greeks C. the National Gardens boast indigenous plants whose stories relate to Greek mythology D. travelers can learn the mythological origin of Hades in the archaeological site of Eleusis 71.

The Areopagus Hill and the God of War. C. The National Gardens and the Nature Spirits. D. The Archaeological Site of Eleusis and the Gate to the Underworld. (C) If the planet were more than about ten times Earth’s mass, it would accumulate a huge atmosphere and become a gas giant with no solid surface. At the other end of the scale, if a planet is too small, it would not be able to hold onto a substantial atmosphere, so the oceans would boil off. What’s more, a small planet would not have a stable climate over billions of years. The reason has to do with plate tectonics (板块运动). This process enables long-term recycling of substances like carbon dioxide among the atmosphere, the ocean, and the crust, making a stable climate possible. A rocky planet would have to be at least one-third as massive as Earth to enable plate tectonics. Mars, for example, falls below that standard. Being in a fairly circular orbit (path around a star) is also essential, to ensure even heating from the parent star during the course of a year. A planet in a lengthened orbit would suffer from extreme swings in temperature as its distance from the star varies. Beyond those basic requirements, it is all about location. Being located around the right kind of star is a must. What makes a good parent star? It should live long enough for life to have enough time to develop. As in real estate, neighbors matter, too. If the parent star has a companion, as many stars do, it should be either very close so that a planet can have a stable orbit encircling both, or very far so that a planet around one star is not affected much by the other. Luckily, most such star systems appear to be safe. Overcrowded neighborhoods may be hazardous to life. Within dense star clusters, for example, close encounters between neighboring stars could disrupt each other’s planetary systems. The Sun probably formed in a loose group of stars that has since spread out further. Today, stars in Earth’s neighborhood are safely separated, by a few light-years on average. The not-too-hot, not-too-cold region around a star, where the temperature is just right for liquid water, is called the habitable zone. Earth is safely within the Sun’s habitable zone. Venus, about 30 percent closer in, is not-probably because the scorching heat boiled off its surface water early on-while Mars, about 50 percent farther from the Sun than Earth, is much colder but still barely inside the present-day habitable zone. Indeed, Mars appears to have had flowing water and large lakes in the past, and probably even has some surface water today. “The problem is that Mars is too small to recycle carbon and oxygen,” explained Jim Lasting, a planetary scientist at Pennsylvania State University. “An Earth-mass planet at Mars distance would be habitable, because carbon dioxide would accumulate in its atmosphere, warming the planet through the greenhouse effect.” 73. In paragraph 1, why does the author discuss a planet having a lengthened orbit? A. To give another example of a difference between small and large planets. B. To illustrate why Mars does not have plate tectonics as compared with Earth. C. To explain how the distance from a star affects a planet’s atmospheric composition. D. To show that the shape of a planet’s orbit can largely affect its ability to support life. 74 . It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that ____________. A. the Sun is the only star in its neighborhood, with no nearby companions B. the separation of nearby stars provides the condition for life to develop on Earth C. the stars near the Sun were once part of a dense star cluster that has since spread out D. the location of stars in the solar system increases the likelihood of planetary disruptions 75. Paragraph 3 suggests that Mars is not habitable because ____________. A. it does not have a stable climate like Earth B. it is too far from the Sun to maintain liquid water C. its atmosphere does not keep the planet warm enough D. its lack of carbon dioxide makes it vulnerable to solar radiation 76. The passage is mainly about ____________________. A. various stages of planetary formation B. the impact of neighboring stars on Earth C. the requirements for a planet to be habitable D. differences between planets in our solar system Section C（8分） Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. This has led booksellers across the country to shift their sales strategies in the hope of winning over audiobook consumers. B. These events give visitors opportunities to discuss their favourite stories with the authors who wrote them. C. This bar was stocked with a variety of audiobooks, arranged by preferred vibe rather than alcohol. D. Selling audiobooks in-store, however, has been a challenge for independent booksellers. E. For these booksellers, attracting customers to their stores matters more than encouraging them to subscribe to an online service. F. The over-6,000-square-foot retail space does not, of course, hold any physical books. What Is a Bookstore Without Books? Ryan Min walked up to a dimly lit bar on a Saturday morning in early May and placed an order. “I’m really into mind bending and twisty thrillers,” said Min, a 27-year-old software engineer. “What would you recommend?” The bartender (酒保) presented him with a sample of a Stephen King bestseller and a pair of headphones. 77 . The house, in this case, is the Audible Story House in New York. It’s a pop-up bookstore staged by the audiobook giant, which is owned by Amazon. 78 Audible’s take on the bookstore is a three-storey space with an event area for craft nights and author panels. There are bookcases arranged by genre (类别), as in any bookstore. But instead of paperbacks, the shelves hold story tiles (瓷砖) with book cover images printed on them. Shoppers who tap the tiles with their devices are led to a preview of the audiobook on the company’s website. Although physical books still dominate the market, digital audiobooks are among the fastest-growing segments (细分市场) in publishing, according to data from the Association of American Publishers. The share of publishers’ revenues coming from digital audiobooks totaled more than 11 percent in 2025, up from 3.5 percent in 2016. 79 Libro. fm, a service that allows shoppers to purchase audiobooks directly from independent bookstores, has emerged as a tool to stay competitive against giants like Audible. 80 Typically, they rely on promotions and giveaways (赠品) to bring their audiobook offerings to the attention of shoppers. The purpose of Audible’s bookstore, unlike that of traditional retailers, is to drive new subscriptions to its platform rather than to allow for the purchase of individual titles. Customers new to Audible are encouraged to sign up for a trial of its service in the store. 第II卷 I. Summary Writing（共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 81. A Smarter Way to Use Technology Nowadays, most people keep their smartphones within reach all day, constantly checking messages, short videos and social media updates. Many feel trapped in endless digital information, distracted and unable to focus on deep work or real-life communication. Even during meals or conversations with friends, some people find themselves reaching for their phones without thinking. Such habits gradually weaken their concentration and leave them feeling mentally exhausted. To deal with this problem, a lifestyle called digital minimalism has attracted growing attention. Digital minimalism does not mean completely giving up phones or the Internet. Instead, it advocates using digital tools only for valuable purposes and cutting off meaningless online activities. Its supporters argue that people should decide in advance what online behaviors truly serve their goals rather than passively accepting endless information pushed by algorithms. For example, using the Internet to complete schoolwork or communicate with distant family members can be meaningful, while repeatedly checking social media out of boredom often adds little value to daily life. There are practical ways to practise this lifestyle. Many digital minimalists set fixed time periods for using social apps and turn off non-essential notifications. Some also carry out “digital sabbaths”, during which they avoid all screens for one full day every week. Others choose to keep their phones away while studying or spending time with family. These measures help reduce the time wasted online and encourage people to develop healthier habits. As a result, they may find more opportunities for reading, exercising and enjoying face-to-face conversations. However, critics remind us that digital minimalism is not a one-size-fits-all solution. For those whose jobs require long hours of online work, strict screen bans are unrealistic. Students may also depend on digital resources for learning and communication. Therefore, the same rules cannot be applied equally to everyone. The core of this idea lies in conscious control over digital life, not blind rejection of technology. The goal is to let people regain control of their attention and spare more time for offline experiences. II.
