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 ____31____ 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 ____32____, voluntourism can have a transformational impact on both ____33____ and volunteers, says Alex Tarrant, co-founder of Pod Volunteer. Founded in the early 2000s, the organization focuses on conservation and animal ____34____. 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 ____35____ with the Seychelles government has involved 1,000 participants in marine conservation initiatives. Not all interactions, however, are as mutually ____36____. 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 ____37____ 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 ____38____ 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 ____39____ what local communities need. As a result, some participants may take part in projects without having the right _____40_____. In her book, writer Pippa Biddle describes how people in Tanzania once had to spend a whole night _____41_____ poor-quality work left behind by volunteers. Another concern is that willing but poorly prepared volunteers often _____42_____ 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.” _____43_____ 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 _____44_____ that they can,” she said. “Well matched, well-placed volunteers can make a real difference, I’m still _____45_____ of that.” 31.

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. 46. 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 47. 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 48. 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 49. The underlined word “spoils” 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. 50. 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 51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Poseidon, Ares, Mysteries are gods in Greek mythology. B. Both Athens and the Areopagus Hill are named after Greek gods. C. Hiring local storytellers is a must in Acropolis and the National Gardens. D. The Underworld is guarded by mystical elements, Amalia, a dog, and a ferryman. 52. If Esther has never been to Athens before and she is very excited about her trip there, which of the following trips may attract her most? A. The Acropolis and the Divine Contest. B. 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.” 53. 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. 54. 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 55. 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 56. 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. 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. ____57____ 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. ____58____ 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. ____59____ 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. ____60____ 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. 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. 第II卷 I. Summary Writing（共10分） 61. 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. 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.

When making money and doing good come together, it is not surprising that ethical issues can arise.

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. 46. 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 47. 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 48. 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 49. The underlined word “spoils” in the last paragraph is closest to the meaning of ________. A. profits B. damages C. adventures D. pleasures 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了17世纪末至18世纪初海盗黄金时代海盗兴起的原因、活动方式，以及私掠船出现后与海盗界限逐渐模糊的历史现象。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Plenty of these imports, such as coffee, sugar, and fabrics, were in high demand and could be sold or traded for a substantial amount.(这些进口货物中的许多，例如咖啡、食糖和布料，需求量很大，能够被出售或交换到一大笔钱。)”可知，这些货物供不应求，且能够被出售或换回巨额利润。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“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.(船只在航行途中常被劫持，船员被迫在新的指挥下服役，尤其是那些已有海上经验或能提供某项专门技能的人，例如医生、厨师和木匠。)”可知，医生、厨师、木匠等有专门技能者被劫持后被迫继续服役；由此推知，他们不情愿地成为海盗。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“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.(然而，随着海盗问题日益严重，商人群体开始自行采取行动，自费为船只配备武器和装备，以此保护贸易活动。这些由‘私掠者’指挥的船只获得王室许可，可以袭击任何敌方船只。)”可知，私掠者虽持有王室执照、名义上只攻击敌国船只，却同样武装出海、靠袭击船只和劫掠财物获取利益，其手段与牟利动机和海盗相近，仅凭一纸执照难以把二者区分开来，因此私掠者与海盗之间的界限变得模糊。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段画线词“spoils”前面的“In a world where native populations were being wiped out or bound in chains, pirate life represented freedom and democracy.(在一个当地原住民被灭绝或被锁链束缚的世界里，海盗生活代表着自由与民主。)”可知，黄金时代的海盗生活令许多人向往、难以抗拒；由此推知，画线词指海盗通过抢劫获得的财物收益。 (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. 50. 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 51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Poseidon, Ares, Mysteries are gods in Greek mythology. B. Both Athens and the Areopagus Hill are named after Greek gods. C. Hiring local storytellers is a must in Acropolis and the National Gardens. D. The Underworld is guarded by mystical elements, Amalia, a dog, and a ferryman. 52. If Esther has never been to Athens before and she is very excited about her trip there, which of the following trips may attract her most? A. The Acropolis and the Divine Contest. B. 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. 【答案】50. C 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了雅典四处富有希腊神话色彩的游览地点，分别介绍各处相关神话、特色与游览体验，推荐神话主题城市游览路线。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据The National Gardens and the Nature Spirits部分中“Every indigenous tree has a story to tell from Greek mythology, and every path leads to a new adventure. (每一棵本土树木都有源自希腊神话的故事，每条小路都通向一场新的奇遇。)”可知，国家花园拥有本土植物，这些植物背后的故事都和希腊神话有关。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Acropolis and the Divine Contest部分中“Become part of the ancient Athenian society and bear witness to the great contest between Athena and Poseidon over the naming of the city. (置身古雅典社会，见证雅典娜与波塞冬为这座城市命名而展开的盛大角逐。)”及The Areopagus Hill and the God of War部分中“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. (一切始于众神决定审判战神阿瑞斯，控诉他犯下的战争罪行。这座山便以阿瑞斯命名，成为雅典的刑事法庭。)”可知，雅典的名字来自女神雅典娜，战神山的名字来自战神阿瑞斯，二者都以希腊神祇命名。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Acropolis and the Divine Contest部分中“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. (卫城是雅典最负盛名的景点，如果你第一次来到希腊首都，它就是你的打卡首选。)”可知，如果你是第一次来到希腊首都，卫城是雅典最知名的景点，也是你清单上第一个要打卡的地方，完全符合从未去过雅典的埃丝特的情况，因此会最吸引她。 (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.” 53. 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. 54. 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 55. 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 56. 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 【答案】53. D 54. B 55. C 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一颗行星想要宜居所需要满足的一系列条件，包含合适质量、近圆形轨道、合适恒星环境以及处于恒星宜居带等。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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. (处于相当圆形的轨道(绕恒星运行的路径)也很重要，以确保一年内从母恒星获得均匀的热量。处于拉长轨道上的行星，由于与恒星的距离不断变化，会遭受极端的温度波动)”可知，作者讨论拉长轨道是为了说明轨道形状（是否接近圆形）会影响行星接收恒星热量的均匀程度，进而影响温度稳定性，即影响支持生命的能力。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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. (恒星过于密集的周边环境可能对生命构成威胁。例如，在密集的星团中，相邻恒星之间的近距离相遇可能会破坏彼此的行星系统。太阳很可能形成于一个松散的恒星群，该恒星群后来进一步分散开了。如今，地球附近的恒星彼此安全地分隔开，平均相隔几光年)”可推断，附近恒星之间足够的安全距离提供了稳定的环境，为地球上生命的发展提供了条件。 【55题详解】 细节推断题。根据第三段““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.”(宾夕法尼亚州立大学的行星科学家吉姆·拉斯廷解释说：“问题在于火星太小，无法循环碳和氧。”。“在火星距离处一颗地球质量的行星将是宜居的，因为二氧化碳会在其大气中积累，通过温室效应使行星变暖。”)”可知，火星不可居是因为它太小，无法积累足够二氧化碳来温室增温，即大气不足以让行星保持足够温暖。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕行星具备宜居条件展开：质量适中（有板块运动、大气）、轨道近似圆形、位于合适恒星旁且邻居安全、处于宜居带等，都是在讲“一颗行星宜居所需的条件”。 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. 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. ____57____ 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. ____58____ 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. ____59____ 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. ____60____ 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. 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. 【答案】57. C 58. F 59. A 60. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了Audible打造的一家无纸质书的有声书快闪书店，说明了有声书市场发展态势，同时对比了Audible与独立书店在有声书业务上不同的经营思路。 【57题详解】 前文“The bartender (酒保) presented him with a sample of a Stephen King bestseller and a pair of headphones. (酒保给他拿出一本斯蒂芬·金畅销作品的有声书样片，还有一副耳机。)”提到酒保给顾客提供试听片段和耳机，本空承接“酒吧”这个场景，C项“This bar was stocked with a variety of audiobooks, arranged by preferred vibe rather than alcohol. (这个酒吧摆放着各式各样的有声书，按照用户偏好的收听氛围分类，而不是酒水)”解释这个“酒吧”特殊在哪里——不卖酒、而是按氛围摆放有声书，衔接自然。 【58题详解】 前文“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. (这里所说的‘书屋’，就是纽约的Audible故事屋。它是有声书巨头Audible打造的快闪书店，Audible隶属于亚马逊。)”介绍了Audible快闪书店的属性，后文“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. (Audible打造的这家书店共三层，设有手工之夜、作者座谈会这类活动区域。店里也像普通书店一样，有按题材分类的书架。只不过架子上放的不是平装书，而是印有书籍封面图案的故事瓷砖。顾客用设备触碰瓷砖，就会跳转到该平台网站上试听这本有声书。)”转折说明书架上没有实体书只有印着封面的瓷砖，F项“The over-6,000-square-foot retail space does not, of course, hold any physical books. (这个六千多平方英尺的门店空间，当然没有任何纸质实体书。)”直接点明这个六千多平方英尺的门店空间没有任何实体书，承上启下，呼应主题。 【59题详解】 前文“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. (美国出版商协会的数据显示，尽管纸质书依然占据市场主流，但数字有声书是出版行业增长最快的细分板块之一。2025年，有声书收入占出版商总收入的11%以上，而2016年仅为3.5%。)”给出数据说明有声书出版市场占比快速增长，后文“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. (Libro.fm这个平台应运而生，它能让消费者直接从独立书店购买有声书，帮助独立书店与Audible这类行业巨头竞争。)”提到Libro.fm帮助独立书店与Audible竞争，A项“This has led booksellers across the country to shift their sales strategies in the hope of winning over audiobook consumers. (这使得全美各地的书商开始调整销售策略，希望争取有声书消费群体。)”中的This指代有声书市场快速增长这一现象，引出结果：促使书商调整销售策略，争夺有声书消费者，引出后文Libro.fm这类竞争工具的出现。 【60题详解】 后文“Typically, they rely on promotions and giveaways (赠品) to bring their audiobook offerings to the attention of shoppers. (通常，它们依靠促销活动和赠品，让顾客注意到店里的有声书产品。)”提到独立书商靠促销、赠品来吸引顾客注意有声书产品，D项“Selling audiobooks in-store, however, has been a challenge for independent booksellers. (然而，在实体门店售卖有声书，对独立书店来说一直是一项难题。)”点明独立书店售卖有声书存在难题，后文紧接着说明他们如何应对（靠促销和赠品），围绕独立书店的困境和应对方式展开，后文的代词they指代选项中的independent booksellers。 第II卷 I. Summary Writing（共10分） 61. 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. 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Many people are troubled by unplanned phone use which harms their focus and energy. Digital minimalism encourages purposeful use of technology instead of total abandonment. It offers useful methods, yet it should be adjusted for different people, with its true focus on taking charge of one’s digital life. 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍说很多人无节制使用手机，专注力受损、精神疲惫，数字极简主义随之受到关注，它提倡有目的地使用数字工具，有可行践行方式，但并非适用于所有人，核心是自主掌控数字生活。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①Many feel trapped in endless digital information, distracted and unable to focus on deep work or real-life communication. ②Digital minimalism does not mean completely giving up phones or the Internet.
