When she came back, she looked very tired and ill. “What did the doctor say?” asked Anne worriedly. “He says I mustn’t read or write, and I must wear glasses. Then my head won’t hurt. But if I’m not very careful, I’ll be blind in six months!” For a minute Anne was silent. Then she said firmly, “Then you must be careful, Marilla.” “Think how terrible it is to be blind! But how lucky you’ve got a free place at Redmond College! I can’t give you any money, you see. All our money’s gone, and I can’t work now. I think I’ll have to sell the farm, and go and live with Rachel Lynde!” and poor Marilla sobbed (啜泣) wildly. That night Anne sat alone in her bedroom. She thought and thought for some time, and then she smiled. When she went to bed, she knew what she was going to do. The next day she explained it all to Marilla. “You can’t sell Green Gables. It’s our home! Just listen, I’ve planned everything. I’m not going to Redmond College, it’s too far away. I’m going to teach, in one of the village schools near here. Then I can live there during the week and come home at weekends to look after you. Diana’s father will use our fields and pay us for them, and so we’ll have some money. You see?” “Oh Anne! I’ll be all right if you’re here. But you must go to Redmond, if you want to study…” “Redmond College doesn’t matter,” laughed Anne. “I’m going to study at home in the evenings. And I’m going to be a really good teacher! That’s better than anything!” Marilla shook her head, as if to clear it of the impossible choice Anne had just offered. A sob escaped her. “Oh, Anne... I’ve brought this on you.” She struggled for a moment. Then she looked up, “You good girl. You foolish, wonderful girl. Green Gables will be here for you, always. That’s a promise.” — Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 26. What happened to Marilla according to the passage? A. She had no money because she didn’t work. B. She learned that her family sold their farm. C. She couldn’t go to the Redmond College. D. She was told that she would go blind soon. 27.

B For centuries, explorers were adventurers who sailed to unknown lands or climbed unmapped mountains. They searched for new places, driven by curiosity and dreams of glory. Today, the map of the world is complete. Does this mean exploration is over? Not at all. The spirit of exploration is still alive, but it has changed. Modern explorers are different. They can be people from all walks of life, such as programmers, artists, teachers, or even students. Their goal is not to find new lands, but to find new understanding. The tools have changed, too. Instead of ships, explorers now use telescopes to study distant stars and powerful microscopes to see the tiny cells that make up all living things. They use technology to listen to sounds in nature that are too quiet or high for our ears and to search for knowledge in the huge amount of information on the Internet. Most importantly, what we explore has changed. The great “unknown” today is not a blank spot on a map. It is asking new questions: How do tiny cells in our bodies work? What secrets can we learn from ancient cities buried for thousands of years? How can we better understand and protect the cultures and languages that are disappearing from our world? Exploration is now about making connections and deepening our knowledge. Have you ever thought that exploration can be deeply personal? For many, the greatest adventure is the journey of self-discovery and growth. Learning a challenging new skill, overcoming a personal fear, or striving to understand one’s own emotions and purpose are all acts of modern exploration. This inward journey requires as much courage and curiosity as any voyage across an ocean. The journey of discovery is no longer just about going far away. It is about looking closely at the world around us and within us, with curiosity and care. The adventure is everywhere. 29. What is the main goal of modern explorers? A. To gain new understanding. B. To draw more detailed world maps. C. To become famous adventurers. D. To visit every country in the world. 30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of modern exploration? A. Studying faraway stars. B. Finding new mountains to climb. C. Learning how our body’s cells work. D. Understanding cultures in danger. 31. What does the author mean by saying “The adventure is everywhere” in the last paragraph? A. Dangerous activities exist in all parts of the world. B. It is now easy to travel to every corner of the globe. C. Modern tools allow us to explore any place we want. D. The spirit of exploration can be applied to any part of life. 32. How does the author organize the passage? A. By listing famous explorers from history in time order. B. By telling a personal story from the beginning to the end. C. By explaining how exploration has changed in several key aspects. D. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of old and new tools. C The deep ocean is Earth’s last great unknown place. With new technology, we can now reach its darkest depths. Scientists are eager to explore it for knowledge, hoping to discover new species and unlock secrets of our planet’s history, while companies see valuable minerals on the seafloor such as those needed for electric car batteries. This creates an urgent question: do we have the right to use this hidden world? There are strong reasons for exploring the deep sea and using the resources. Supporters argue that deep-sea mining causes less damage than mining on land. It doesn’t require cutting down forests or moving communities away from their homes. Moreover, minerals found on the deep ocean floor are important for green technology, helping to fight climate change. The process of exploration itself can also lead to amazing discoveries, which benefits all science. However, many others warn of serious and lasting risks. Life in the deep ocean is delicate and recovers extraordinarily slowly, sometimes over centuries. A single mining operation could destroy unique habitats and unknown creatures forever. Pollution from the mining process might travel widely, affecting areas far from the original site. Critics strongly believe that before we start using the ocean, we must first fully understand it—a task we are still very far from completing. A growing idea among scientists and policymakers is to follow a “precautionary principle”. This means we should first focus on studying and mapping the ocean, creating protected areas where mining is not allowed. If resources are to be taken later, it should only happen under the strictest international rules and with great caution. The ocean floor must not become a new wild place where everyone just takes what they want. As those responsible for Earth’s future, we must approach this great unknown not only with excitement for discovery but also with great care, respect, and a sense of duty to preserve its wonders. 33. Why do some people support deep-sea mining? A. They are sure it will find new sources of energy. B. They argue it provides people the most minerals. C. They think it causes less harm to people and the environment. D. They believe it is perfectly safe and has been well understood. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. the mining process. B. the deep ocean. C. the pollution. D. the task. 35. What does the “precautionary principle” suggest? A. Protecting the ocean before using it. B. Starting mining before resources run out. C. Using resources first and studying effects later. D. Sharing the ocean floor equally among all countries. 36. What is this passage mainly about? A. To tell the importance of deep-sea mining. B. To advertise deep-sea mining technologies. C. To describe some means of deep-sea exploration. D. To show different opinions of deep-sea exploration. D Hundreds of years ago, ideas like flying to another city through the air sounded like dreams. Yet now scientific studies have made them real. Could other fairy tales come true someday? Sleeping Beauty Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Probably not. The daily cycle of sleep and waking is set in your body. But animals like bears can hibernate (冬眠) through the winter until it warms. If scientists can work out how animals hibernate, maybe one day people could hibernate too. It would be great for astronauts to sleep through the long space journey. But hibernating animals still grow older, so a future Sleeping Beauty might wake up as a Sleeping Grandma. Talk to Animals Talking to animals isn’t quite easy. But scientists are trying. Tiny cameras and microphones have collected thousands of hours of animal conversations. Powerful computer programs study animal sounds and match them with possible meanings. Soon they may even allow us to communicate with animals in return. But there are still challenges. Many animals communicate with smells, body language, and sounds that humans can’t hear. And animals don’t think like people. So, when we think they’re giving directions to the castle, they’re more likely to be saying “This is my tree!” Let Down Your Hair Rapunzel lowers her long hair to let visitors in. But could hair really hold up a prince? Surprisingly, yes! A scientific study has found out that a single hair can hold 3 ounces, the weight of a small tomato. And a common head has about 100,000 hairs. All those together, in theory, could hold up a couple of elephants. A prince? No problem. However, Rapunzel would also need a shorter tower. Human hair only grows a few feet long. The longest hair ever recorded is about 18 feet long—pretty short for a tower. 37. If astronauts could hibernate, they would ________. A. stop growing completely B. sleep through space travel C. need more food and water D. communicate with animals 38. What makes it difficult for scientists to talk to animals? A. Animals have no real language. B. Animals don’t want to talk to humans. C. Scientists don’t have enough recording tools. D. Humans and animals communicate in different ways. 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the scientific studies? A. Animals think like people in giving directions. B. Scientists will succeed in talking back to animals. C. Human hair is surprisingly strong according to science. D. Rapunzel in the fairy tale has the longest hair in history. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How Science Is Changing Our Favorite Stories? B. Science Looks at Fairy Tales: What Could Be Real? C. The Fairy Tales Mysteries: Science Finds Answers D. From Animal Talk to Strong Hair: Surprising Science 第二节 阅读填空 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入1～5各题空白处的最佳选项。 Citywalk is becoming a new travel fashion for the youth in China who are exploring cultural spots. ____41____ This way, people can get different and better experiences.
