第一节(共15个小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Where to go roller-skating (轮滑) in Europe: the best destinations
Helsinki, Finland — For coastal routes
A big Roller game was started in Helsinki, but Marja Zilcher, founder of Rebel Rollers Helsinki, wasn’t keen on the contact sport’s competitive nature, so she formed her own group. 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.
1. 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

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(柏林教练Oumi Janta因穿着毛茛黄短裤展示优美滑冰动作在社交媒体走红,并被誉为掀起该市轮滑热潮的推手。)”可知,Oumi Janta在柏林掀起了轮滑热潮。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段维也纳夜滑组织者格哈德所说的话“The idea behind Friday Night Skating was and still is easy: take back the streets from cars. We want to move without burning fuel.(周五夜滑的理念过去和现在都很简单:从汽车手中夺回街道。我们希望在无需燃烧燃料的情况下移动。)”可知,奥地利维也纳的轮滑适合想要环保的滑行者,即环保斗士 —— 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.”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Which of the following best describes old Picard?
A. Greedy and calculating.
B. Organized and generous.
C. Conservative and dreamy.
D. Responsible and devoted.
7. 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.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍前游船船长皮卡德退休后组建环保团体,抵制马赛港游轮泛滥,反思过往并投身海洋保护的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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. (这位前船长的新团队是一个日渐壮大的激进组织,名为“Stop Croisières”,皮卡德称其核心成员现有50至100人,包括律师和生态学家。)”可知,该环保团体由皮卡德牵头带领。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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. 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.(皮卡德深爱着这片海洋,但他认为它正因游轮的频繁往来而遭到破坏。十五年前,在马赛还很少能看到游轮的踪影。而如今,这座法国第二大城市已成为欧洲最繁忙的游轮港口之一。如今这座法国第二大城市已是欧洲最繁忙的游轮港口之一,据港务局数据,去年有250万游客停靠,比上一年多出一百万人。)”可知,皮卡德目睹游轮数量急剧增长破坏海洋环境,因此迫切想要保护海洋。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“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. (他对自己从前的航海生涯心怀愧疚,却尽力向更多人普及海运知识,希望能发挥作用。)”可知,做了30年商业船长,兢兢业业从业、熟悉海洋;后期愧疚并尽力守护海洋,体现有责任感、敬业投入。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It’s guilt for having participated in the destruction of life. But maybe that is the engine that makes me an activist now.(我为自己曾参与破坏海洋生命而愧疚,但这份愧疚也成为我如今成为环保参与者的动力。)”可知,皮卡德年轻时参与航海行业破坏海洋,晚年醒悟后主动投身海洋保护,知错能改、及时补救,契合“亡羊补牢,为时未晚”的含义。
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 well being. 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.”
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究显示里海因补给水源减少、蒸发失衡水位下降,威胁鲟鱼等生物及沿岸贸易、健康与农业,专家建议尽早跨境行动应对挑战。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“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). (该研究报告称,通常为海洋提供水源的那些水体,其供水量正在逐渐减少。以至于这些水源已经无法满足蒸发的需求了。)”可知,造成里海水资源危机的根本原因是来源河流的水量减少。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (里海是众多生物的栖息地。这里有六种鲟鱼种类在里海中繁衍生息。在里海中,鲟鱼通常在夏季和秋季生活在较浅的水域,并在流入海中的河流中产卵。如果水位下降,它们将无法到达这些产卵地,这可能会导致其种群数量减少。)”可知,鲟鱼群体会受到水位下降的影响是因为他们无法到达河流去繁衍后代。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Besides, the exposed dry seabed is likely to release dust containing industrial pollutants and salt, posing serious threats to human health. (此外,裸露的干燥海床可能会释放出含有工业污染物和盐分的粉尘,对人类健康构成严重威胁。)”可知,干涸过程可能会产生导致海底污染物的释放。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“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. (这听起来可能是一个很长的时间跨度,但考虑到其中涉及的巨大的政治、法律和实际方面的挑战,尽早采取行动才是明智之举,这样才能最大程度地增加成功的可能性。)”可知,西蒙·古德曼建议紧急开展跨境合作。故选D。
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.
12. 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.
13. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Boom. B. Sink.
C. Communicate. D. Disappear.
14. 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.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas.
C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了利用火星本土微生物在火星建造避难所的设想及面临的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“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. (然而,稀薄的空气、低气压和极端温度是大多数地球生命无法忍受的,更不用说持续的辐射了。因此,火星避难所是任何可持续人类生活计划的核心。)”可知,火星上的条件对地球生命来说是致命的,所以避难所在火星上至关重要。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“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. (该研究的主要作者埃里克·理查兹说,地球上在酸性湖泊、火山土壤和深洞穴等恶劣环境中burgeon的微生物,在我们探索火星条件下可能起作用的东西时可能特别有用。)”可知,此处表示在恶劣环境中繁盛的微生物,burgeon意为“繁盛,激增”,与boom意思相近。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“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). (其潜在价值不仅限于建筑。因为拟甲色球藻可以产生氧气,它还可以帮助实现自给自足的农业和火星的地球化。)”可推知,这项建造工作可能会带来额外的好处。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“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. (即使有很有前途的想法,他们的工作仍处于早期阶段。火星样本返回的反复延迟限制了火星特定建造方法的测试和确认速度。此外,目前的机器人技术还无法在地球上重现火星的重力,而重力会影响3D打印和自主建造。)”可知,最后一段主要讲了目前这项工作面临的障碍。
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? ____16____
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. ____17____ Therefore, learning how to think critically about media is not just helpful — it’s essential.
____18____ 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. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了在信息爆炸的时代,具备媒体素养是关键技能,有助于人们批判性地看待媒体信息。
【16题详解】
由上文“Faced with this flood of messages, how can we tell what’s true, what’s biased, and what’s meant to influence us?(面对这海量的信息,我们该如何分辨真假、识别偏见,以及判断哪些信息旨在影响我们?)”可知,前文提出了分辨媒体信息的难题,空格处需引出解决办法。A项“That’s where media literacy comes in.(这就是媒体素养的用武之地。)”符合语境,That指代前文的“分辨信息的难题”,“media literacy comes in”直接引出下文要介绍的核心概念,承上启下。故选A项。
【17题详解】
由上文“It’s recognized as a key skill in the 21st century.(它被视为21世纪的一项关键技能。)”和下文“Therefore, learning how to think critically about media is not just helpful — it’s essential.(因此,学会批判性地看待媒体不仅有益,而且必不可少。)”可知,空格处需说明媒体素养重要的原因。F项“Studies show that media can influence our behaviors often without us realizing it.(研究表明,媒体往往会在我们不知不觉中影响我们的行为。)”符合语境,“media can influence our behaviors”解释了为何媒体素养“必不可少”,与therefore引导的结论形成因果逻辑,衔接紧密。故选F项。
【18题详解】
由下文“As early as the 1920s, organizations in the UK encouraged people to be more thoughtful media users.(早在20世纪20年代,英国的一些组织就鼓励人们成为更具思考能力的媒体使用者。)”可知,本段围绕媒体素养的历史展开,空格处需点明主题。B项“The concept of media literacy has a long history.(媒体素养的概念有着悠久的历史。)”符合语境,“a long history”与“as early as the 1920s”直接呼应,准确概括段落内容,作为主题句恰当。故选B项。
【19题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了多项研究表明女医生诊疗更细致规范,能降低患者死亡风险,对女性患者效果尤为显著,原因或是女医生更懂女性需求。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:以往的研究发现,女性医生通常会花更多时间与患者相处,更倾向于提供预防性护理,并且往往比男性同事更严格地遵循临床指南。空格后是名词care,需要形容词作定语。动词 prevent的形容词形式为preventive,意为“预防的”,preventive care 表示“预防保健”。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:以往的研究发现,女性医生通常会花更多时间与患者相处,更倾向于提供预防性护理,并且往往比男性同事更严格地遵循临床指南。空格修饰动词短语stick to,需用副词。形容词close的副词形式为closely,意为“严格地;紧密地”,stick closely to 表示“严格遵守”。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:女性医生带来的益处似乎对女性患者最为显著。空格前有定冠词The,在句中作主语;谓语动词appear为复数形式,因此主语需用名词复数benefits。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:今年4月波士顿研究人员发表的一篇论文指出,尽管无论男女,由女性医生治疗的老年患者治疗后死亡率都较低,但女性患者的效果明显更高(3%),而男性患者仅为约0.8%。此处为that引导的定语从句,先行词 papers(论文)与 publish是被动关系,且时间状语“in April this year”表示过去,因此用一般过去时的被动语态were published。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:今年4月波士顿研究人员发表的一篇论文指出,尽管无论男女,由女性医生治疗的老年患者治疗后死亡率都较低,但女性患者的效果明显更高(3%),而男性患者仅为约0.8%。此处特指前文提到的“女医生治疗降低死亡风险”的效应,表特指用定冠词the。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:2018年佛罗里达州针对心脏病发作患者的研究也显示了同样的普遍趋势,加拿大研究人员在2021年对手术患者进行的分析也证实了这一点。空格前有不定冠词an,需填入单数名词。动词analyze的名词形式为analysis,意为“分析”。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:在后者的研究中,由女性外科医生进行手术的女性患者死亡风险比由男性医生处理的患者低25%。此处为固定搭配 operate on sb.“给某人做手术”,符合语境。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在后者的研究中,由女性外科医生进行手术的女性患者死亡风险比由男性医生处理的患者低25%。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰those,those与treat是被动关系,用过去分词treated作后置定语。
【44题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:部分原因可能在于,女性医生比男性同行更了解女性患者的需求。分析句子可知,空格引导表语从句,从句成分完整、语义完整,用从属连词that引导,that无实义,只起连接作用。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:了解为何会出现这样的护理差异,将有助于所有医生改进其临床实践。空格处在句中作主语,需用动名词形式;句首单词首字母大写,所以为Understanding。

47. 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 — 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

Paragraph 1: As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist.

Paragraph 2: Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As he flipped through more photos, Jake’s eyes began to mist. There were pictures of him as a baby, always in his grandmother’s arms — smiling, feeding him, helping him take his first steps. He hadn’t remembered any of it, but the photos told a story of love and time shared. His anger from earlier now felt silly. Taking a deep breath, he set the album aside and got to work. He rolled up the old carpet, stacked boxes neatly, and swept the floor, stirring up clouds of dust. Spiderwebs clung to his sleeves, but he didn’t stop. The room slowly changed from a forgotten mess to a clean, welcoming space. As sunlight streamed in, Jake looked around and smiled. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad way to spend a Saturday.
Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. She blinked in surprise, then smiled softly as she ran her fingers over the worn cover. “You found this?” she asked. Jake nodded.” I didn’t know we had so many memories.” They sat together on the edge of the bed, flipping through the pages. She laughed at some photos, explained others, and paused with misty eyes at a few. When they reached the last page, Jake grinned. “Let’s add a new one.” He grabbed his phone, held it out, and the two leaned in close. “Say cheese!” Click. A fresh photo joined the album—Jake and his grandmother, smiling side by side, ready to continue their story together.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Jake原本计划周六和朋友打篮球,但被妈妈要求帮忙清理储藏室以迎接即将搬来的奶奶的故事。在清理过程中,Jake发现了一本记录了他和奶奶过去时光的相册,这让他对奶奶产生了新的认识。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当他翻看更多照片时,他的眼睛开始湿润了。”可知,第一段可描写Jake在翻看相册时,看到了自己和奶奶过去的照片,感受到了奶奶的爱,从而改变了之前对奶奶搬来的不满态度,开始认真清理储藏室。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上,当他的奶奶走进她的新房间时,Jake把相册递给了她。”可知,第二段可描写Jake把相册送给奶奶,两人一起翻看相册,回忆过去,并决定一起继续他们的故事,拍了一张新的照片加入相册。

A
Where to go roller-skating (轮滑) in Europe: the best destinations
Helsinki, Finland — For coastal routes
A big Roller game was started in Helsinki, but Marja Zilcher, founder of Rebel Rollers Helsinki, wasn’t keen on the contact sport’s competitive nature, so she formed her own group. 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.
1. 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
2. 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.
3. 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.”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Which of the following best describes old Picard?
A. Greedy and calculating.
B. Organized and generous.
C. Conservative and dreamy.
D. Responsible and devoted.
7. 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 well being. 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.”
8. 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.
9. Why are sturgeon populations threatened by the decline of water levels?
A. Seabirds compete for their food. B. They lose access to coastal wetlands.

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.
12. 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.
13. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Boom. B. Sink.
C. Communicate. D. Disappear.
14. 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.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas.
C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications.

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? ____16____
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. ____17____ Therefore, learning how to think critically about media is not just helpful — it’s essential.
____18____ 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. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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.

Past research has found that female doctors tend to spend more time with patients, are more likely to provide ____36____ (prevent) care and tend to stick more ____37____ (close) to clinical guidelines than their male colleagues do. This could minimise the risk of deaths.
The ____38____ (benefit) of having a female physician appear to be greatest for female patients. One of the papers that____39____ (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, ____40____ 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 ____41____ (analyze) of surgery patients by the Canadian researchers in 2021.

47. 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 — 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.”

Paragraph 1: As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist.
