A
The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2025 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them cost-efficient in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental necessity, it’s economical tendency.
1. Which categories account for over three-quarters of total household emissions?
A. Heating and Cooling. B. Electricity and Heating.
C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances.
2. Which technology is cost-effective in numerous regions?
A. Heat pumps B. Smart grids C. Wind turbines D. Solar panels
3. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition?
A. The dominance of gas boilers B. The increase in solar efficiency
C. The need for higher investment D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology
B
For years, the 3:00 PM school pickup was not a joyful reunion, but a constant exercise in emotional strength. It was a routine of small hopes quietly disappearing. Every single day, as my 11-year-old son, Leo, buckled his seat-belt, I would offer the same cheerful, practiced query: “How was your day?”
And every single day, for years, the response was a carbon copy: “Fine, fine.” It was always delivered to the dashboard, to the window, to anywhere but me. No eye contact. No change in his voice. His autism (自闭症) created a sort of glass wall between us. Through it, I could see my boy, but I could never quite feel him reach back. The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy. I had quietly begun to accept that this silent barrier was simply our forever.
But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?”
He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it.
Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?”
The world seemed to stop spinning. The simple question — that tiny bridge he had built all on his own from his world to mine — was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It wasn’t just words; it was the answer to years of unseen patience. My breath caught, and tears, hot and uncontrollable, streamed down my face. I gave him the only truth I had, “It’s really good, Leo.” I said, my voice cracking. “It’s the best day ever.”
4. Why did the mother keep asking her son the same question for years?
A. She tried to cheer her son up. B. She enjoyed their daily routine.
C. She longed for a real interaction. D. She felt sorry for her son’s condition.
5. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Lack of interest. B. Loss of memory.
C. Sign of respect. D. Sense of peace.
6. What made the spring afternoon unusual for the mother?
A. Leo buckled his seat-belt himself. B. Leo showed active concern for her.
C. Leo caught sight of her sudden tears. D. Leo listened to her with great patience.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Clear Eyes, Full Heart B. Talk More, Love Better
C. The Answer to Education D. A Reward of Patience
C
A new study shows choosing exercise you enjoy is vital for lasting benefits like strength gains and stress relief. “People try to become more active but struggle to sustain the changes,” said Dr. Ronca from UCLA. “We examined how personality affects this to develop better health interventions.”
In this study, researchers assessed 132 participants’ fitness level and personalities, and then divided them into two groups: half took part in an eight-week program combining cycling and strength training, while the other half were a non-exercise control group. During the exercise program, participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of each exercise session, before having their fitness level tested again once the program had been completed.
Clear links appeared between personality and preference. Extroverts (外向者)particularly enjoyed high-intensity exercise sessions. Participants who scored high on anxiety engaged well with the program but preferred short bursts of intensity over longer efforts. They also preferred not being monitored, suggesting these individuals might appreciate being given space for independence and privacy. Highly hardworking and reliable individuals demonstrated strong self-discipline and overall fitness gains, likely motivated by health benefits rather than enjoyment itself.
At the beginning of the study, the stress levels of the intervention group and the control group were similar. However, the only participants to experience a significant reduction in stress levels after exercising were those with high tendency to worry, suggesting tailored exercise offers them particular stress relief benefits.
When choosing a sport, the public should consider personal interests rather than blindly following trends. The most important thing people can do to improve their activity levels is to find something that they enjoy, making exercise a truly sustainable habit. “We found some clear links between personality and exercise preferences, which could potentially be used to personalize physical activity recommendations and help people to become and remain more active,” said Dr. Ronca.
8. How were participants’ responses measured?
A. By recording their heart rate. B. By assessing their sense of pleasure.
C. By attending interview sessions. D. By tracking exercise preferences.
9. Who is most likely to stick to a 4-hour boxing group class?
A. Mr. Yu, an extrovert who avoids tiring workout.
B. Kevin, a shy boy who loves watching boxing games.
C. Monica, a trendy blogger who values personal space.
D. Ms. Li, a disciplined teacher who seeks weight loss.
10. What can we learn about participants with high anxiety?
A. Their stress got relieved after exercises. B. They preferred intense exercises.
C. Their fitness improved more with company. D. They made health benefits a priority.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why High-Intensity Workouts Suit Extroverts
B. How Fitness Testing Improves Exercise Enjoyment
C. Personality Preferences: Key to Sustainable Exercise
D. Exercise Enjoyment: Benefits of Monitoring Exercise
D
Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight.
Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.
In the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.
Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.”
The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez.
Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel.
Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets.
12. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence?
A. It is drawing less attention. B. It produces brighter lights.
C. It needs an outside light source. D. It makes better use of chemical reactions.
13. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. They both describe light-based hunting methods.
B. They both explain the formation of a close partnership.
C. They both highlight potential threats to the environment.
D. They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence.
14. What is the main use of GFP in science?
A. To protect corals from bleaching. B. To create more efficient LED lights.
C. To treat the disease of Alzheimer’s. D. To visualize cells for better observation.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Hidden Light Show
B. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Display of Beauty
C. Bioluminescence: Ocean’s Ancient Magic Power
D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,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。
The shuttlecock (羽毛球), also known as a birdie, is crucial in badminton, as it determines the speed, path, and overall play. ___16___ However, we’ll focus here only on the making of the feathered (有羽毛的) shuttlecock, rather than the plastic or mixed-material one, and the science behind its design.
The feathered shuttlecock consists of two parts: a cork (软木) base and a skirt of feathers. The base is typically made of strong cork, providing weight and balance. ___17___ Meanwhile, the bottom is round and soft to absorb the impact when players hit the shuttlecock. Sometimes, we can encounter a base with two parts. The tip is usually soft and made of cork, while the rest is harder and may consist of hardwood.
After the base passes inspection, a machine creates sixteen holes on the flat top for the feathers sourced from geese or ducks for their strength and flexibility. Only feathers from the same wing are used to ensure consistent shape, size and movement direction. ___18___ Then the feathers are shaped, arranged in a circular pattern, and attached to the cork base, partially overlapping and secured with glue.
___19___ Inspectors check feathers for irregularities and conduct flight and speed tests. The drop test observes flight from a certain height, while the durability test checks strength through repeated hits. Only shuttlecocks passing these tests are approved for sale.
The high-quality materials and precise design of shuttlecocks improve the way badminton is played. With modern technology advancing, we can expect changes in them. ___20___
A. Generally, it comes into three types.
B. Its top is flat and strong to hold feathers.
C. However, they must be neither too hard nor too soft.
D. But left-wing feathers are preferred for more stable flight.
E. Hopefully, they can help players better anticipate the direction.
F. Each shuttlecock must meet strict standards to ensure top performance.
G. Whatever occurs, they’re not just equipment, but a product of science.

47. The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money my neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.

For years, the 3:00 PM school pickup was not a joyful reunion, but a constant exercise in emotional strength. It was a routine of small hopes quietly disappearing. Every single day, as my 11-year-old son, Leo, buckled his seat-belt, I would offer the same cheerful, practiced query: “How was your day?”
And every single day, for years, the response was a carbon copy: “Fine, fine.” It was always delivered to the dashboard, to the window, to anywhere but me. No eye contact. No change in his voice. His autism (自闭症) created a sort of glass wall between us. Through it, I could see my boy, but I could never quite feel him reach back. The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy. I had quietly begun to accept that this silent barrier was simply our forever.
But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?”
He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it.
Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?”
The world seemed to stop spinning. The simple question — that tiny bridge he had built all on his own from his world to mine — was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It wasn’t just words; it was the answer to years of unseen patience. My breath caught, and tears, hot and uncontrollable, streamed down my face. I gave him the only truth I had, “It’s really good, Leo.” I said, my voice cracking. “It’s the best day ever.”
4. Why did the mother keep asking her son the same question for years?
A. She tried to cheer her son up. B. She enjoyed their daily routine.
C. She longed for a real interaction. D. She felt sorry for her son’s condition.
5. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Lack of interest. B. Loss of memory.
C. Sign of respect. D. Sense of peace.
6. What made the spring afternoon unusual for the mother?
A. Leo buckled his seat-belt himself. B. Leo showed active concern for her.
C. Leo caught sight of her sudden tears. D. Leo listened to her with great patience.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Clear Eyes, Full Heart B. Talk More, Love Better
C. The Answer to Education D. A Reward of Patience
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述一位母亲多年来每天下午3点接患有自闭症的儿子放学,每次问儿子“今天过得怎么样”,得到的都是冷漠回应,母子间仿佛隔着玻璃墙。但在一个早春下午,儿子不仅回答“很好”,还主动询问母亲的一天,这一转变让母亲感受到多年耐心付出得到回报,体现了亲情与耐心的力量。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy.(其他父母似乎不假思索就能享受的轻松、简单的交流对我来说就像一场梦。我感觉自己多年的爱都倾注到了一个空洞里,我不断的努力得到的却是平静却令人心碎的冷漠回应)”可知,母亲多年来一直问儿子同一个问题,是渴望与儿子有真正的互动交流。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy.(我感觉自己多年的深情都倾注在了一片虚无之中,我日复一日的付出,换来的是一种平静却令人心碎的apathy)”可知,母亲多年付出爱却好像倾注到空洞里,得到令人心碎的回应,结合前文儿子每次冷漠回应,不与母亲眼神交流等,可推测“apathy”意思为“缺乏兴趣,冷漠”。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?”(但那个初春的午后有些不一样。我问出了那句熟悉的话,本不抱有任何期待。“利奥,你今天过得怎么样?”)”以及第四段“He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it.(他系上安全带。“挺好,挺好。” 他说道。 这次回答和往常不一样,但我几乎来不及反应过来)”并结合第五段“Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?”(随后,他转过身。仿佛时隔漫长岁月,利奥第一次直视着我。他的眼神清澈、专注,真切地看着我。 “妈妈,你今天过得怎么样?”)”可知,以往儿子对母亲的询问冷漠回应,而这个早春下午,儿子不仅改变回答,还主动问母亲“你今天过得怎么样,妈妈?”,这种主动对母亲的关心让这个下午变得不同寻常。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。主要讲述一位母亲多年来每天下午3点接患有自闭症的儿子放学,每次问儿子“今天过得怎么样”,得到的都是冷漠回应,母子间仿佛隔着玻璃墙。但在一个早春下午,儿子不仅回答“很好”,还主动询问母亲的一天,这一转变让母亲感受到多年耐心付出得到回报,体现了亲情与耐心的力量。所以D选项“A Reward of Patience”(耐心的回报)最适合作为文章标题。
C
A new study shows choosing exercise you enjoy is vital for lasting benefits like strength gains and stress relief. “People try to become more active but struggle to sustain the changes,” said Dr. Ronca from UCLA. “We examined how personality affects this to develop better health interventions.”
In this study, researchers assessed 132 participants’ fitness level and personalities, and then divided them into two groups: half took part in an eight-week program combining cycling and strength training, while the other half were a non-exercise control group. During the exercise program, participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of each exercise session, before having their fitness level tested again once the program had been completed.
Clear links appeared between personality and preference. Extroverts (外向者)particularly enjoyed high-intensity exercise sessions. Participants who scored high on anxiety engaged well with the program but preferred short bursts of intensity over longer efforts. They also preferred not being monitored, suggesting these individuals might appreciate being given space for independence and privacy. Highly hardworking and reliable individuals demonstrated strong self-discipline and overall fitness gains, likely motivated by health benefits rather than enjoyment itself.
At the beginning of the study, the stress levels of the intervention group and the control group were similar. However, the only participants to experience a significant reduction in stress levels after exercising were those with high tendency to worry, suggesting tailored exercise offers them particular stress relief benefits.
When choosing a sport, the public should consider personal interests rather than blindly following trends. The most important thing people can do to improve their activity levels is to find something that they enjoy, making exercise a truly sustainable habit. “We found some clear links between personality and exercise preferences, which could potentially be used to personalize physical activity recommendations and help people to become and remain more active,” said Dr. Ronca.
8. How were participants’ responses measured?
A. By recording their heart rate. B. By assessing their sense of pleasure.
C. By attending interview sessions. D. By tracking exercise preferences.
9. Who is most likely to stick to a 4-hour boxing group class?
A. Mr. Yu, an extrovert who avoids tiring workout.
B. Kevin, a shy boy who loves watching boxing games.
C. Monica, a trendy blogger who values personal space.
D. Ms. Li, a disciplined teacher who seeks weight loss.
10. What can we learn about participants with high anxiety?
A. Their stress got relieved after exercises. B. They preferred intense exercises.
C. Their fitness improved more with company. D. They made health benefits a priority.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why High-Intensity Workouts Suit Extroverts
B. How Fitness Testing Improves Exercise Enjoyment
C. Personality Preferences: Key to Sustainable Exercise
D. Exercise Enjoyment: Benefits of Monitoring Exercise
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现选择自己喜欢的锻炼方式,更容易坚持下去。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the exercise program, participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of each exercise session, before having their fitness level tested again once the program had been completed.(在锻炼项目中,参与者被要求评价他们对每次锻炼的享受程度,然后在项目完成后再次测试他们的健康水平)”可知,参与者的反应是通过评价他们的享受程度来测量的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Extroverts (外向者)particularly enjoyed high-intensity exercise sessions. Participants who scored high on anxiety engaged well with the program but preferred short bursts of intensity over longer efforts.(外向的人特别喜欢高强度的锻炼。焦虑得分高的参与者对这个项目的反应很好,但他们更喜欢短时间的高强度锻炼,而不是长时间的锻炼)”和“Highly hardworking and reliable individuals demonstrated strong self-discipline and overall fitness gains, likely motivated by health benefits rather than enjoyment itself.(高度努力和可靠的个人表现出强烈的自律和整体健康收益,可能是出于健康益处而不是享受本身)”可知,外向的人喜欢高强度的锻炼,焦虑的人喜欢短时间的锻炼,高度努力和可靠的人表现出强烈的自律和整体健康收益。由此推知,严于律己且正在减肥的李老师最有可能坚持4小时的拳击课。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the only participants to experience a significant reduction in stress levels after exercising were those with high tendency to worry, suggesting tailored exercise offers them particular stress relief benefits.(然而,唯一在锻炼后压力水平显著降低的参与者是那些容易焦虑的人,这表明量身定制的锻炼对他们的压力释放有特别的好处)”可知,高度焦虑的参与者在锻炼后压力得到了释放。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段中“A new study shows choosing exercise you enjoy is vital for lasting benefits like strength gains and stress relief.(一项新的研究表明,选择你喜欢的运动对增强力量和缓解压力等持久的好处至关重要)”和最后一段中“When choosing a sport, the public should consider personal interests rather than blindly following trends. The most important thing people can do to improve their activity levels is to find something that they enjoy, making exercise a truly sustainable habit.(在选择一项运动时,公众应该考虑个人兴趣,而不是盲目跟风。为了提高运动水平,人们能做的最重要的事情就是找到自己喜欢的事情,让锻炼成为一个真正可持续的习惯)”可知,文章主要介绍研究发现选择自己喜欢的锻炼方式,更容易坚持下去,即个性是坚持锻炼的关键。C项“个性偏好:持续锻炼的关键”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。

Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight.
Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.
In the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.
Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.”
The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez.
Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel.
Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets.
12. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence?
A. It is drawing less attention. B. It produces brighter lights.
C. It needs an outside light source. D. It makes better use of chemical reactions.
13. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. They both describe light-based hunting methods.
B. They both explain the formation of a close partnership.
C. They both highlight potential threats to the environment.
D. They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence.
14. What is the main use of GFP in science?
A. To protect corals from bleaching. B. To create more efficient LED lights.
C. To treat the disease of Alzheimer’s. D. To visualize cells for better observation.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Hidden Light Show
B. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Display of Beauty
C. Bioluminescence: Ocean’s Ancient Magic Power
D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了海洋中的生物荧光现象及绿色荧光蛋白在科学领域的应用以及基于生物荧光的可持续技术发展,最后指出海洋中仍有许多关于生物荧光的未解之谜。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow.(与通过化学反应产生光的生物发光不同,生物荧光依赖于吸收外界的光来发光。)”可知,生物荧光需要外部光源才能发光,这是它与生物发光的核心区别。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.(如果没有这种相互作用,珊瑚白化 —— 珊瑚生态系统面临的一个重大威胁 —— 将会加速。)”可知,第三段以珊瑚礁为例,说明了珊瑚的生物荧光能减缓白化速度;根据第四段“When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape.(当受到猎人的威胁时,它会释放出一团生物荧光墨汁。突然迸发的亮光会迷惑攻击者,为乌贼争取宝贵的几秒钟时间来逃跑。)”可知,第四段以短尾乌贼为例,介绍了它的生物荧光墨水能迷惑捕食者。结合第二段“This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.(这种自然的灯光秀不仅仅是为了美观;它还具有重要的生存功能。)”可知,这两个例子均是为了说明生物荧光的生存功能。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s.(研究人员意识到绿色荧光蛋白可以用来标记特定细胞,使看不见的过程变得可见。如今,它在大脑研究中照亮神经细胞,帮助绘制阿尔茨海默病等疾病中的神经连接。)”可知,GFP在科学中的主要用途是标记细胞使其可视化,便于观察研究。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. (海洋表面之下隐藏着一个秘密的光世界)”和最后一段“each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show”(每次探险都揭示了这场美丽的水下灯光秀中的新角色)”及文章内容可知,全文围绕“生物荧光”展开,介绍了其原理、生存功能、科学应用和未解之谜,故“生物荧光:大自然隐藏的灯光秀”最能概括全文内容。

【答案】Dear Peter,
Knowing that you are interested in the smart home exhibition held last weekend, I am glad to tell you some related details.
One device that especially caught my attention was a voice-controlled lighting system. It lets you adjust the brightness and color of your lights through simple voice commands or a smartphone app. You can even set schedules or lighting moods for different times of the day. I find it both convenient and energy-efficient, enhancing home comfort and adaptability while helping reduce electricity waste.
Let me know if you’d like more details!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money my neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.

Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. I nodded without hesitation and walked straight to the dusty computer in the storage room. Step by step, I checked the network wires, fixed the loose connection and installed the selling software. Grandma and Mr. Jackson stood beside me, watching every move with admiration. I also took clear photos of the fresh roses and wrote warm descriptions for the online shop, highlighting their sweet smell and bright colors. When I finished all the settings, I clicked the Publish button, feeling a surge of pride inside. I finally found a way to make up for my past fault.
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. Grandma stared at the screen in shock, unable to believe so many customers wanted her roses. Mr. Jackson patted my shoulder warmly, saying my skills truly turned their trouble into good luck. We spent the whole afternoon packing roses happily. All my nervousness faded away completely. I realized being competent lies not in never making mistakes, but in daring to fix them bravely. This summer holiday on the farm turned out far more meaningful than any computer camp I had imagined.
