Owned and operated by Kasmin Gallery, this exhibition space can be viewed from the nearby High Line. It is designed by Future Green, a Brooklyn, landscape architect studio, and it stands beside a famous building designed by Zaha Hadid. Thereˈs a current exhibition featuring bronze (铜) sculptures by Alma Allen, which shows the artistˈs regard for Utah. Tippet Rise Art Center (Fishtail) This sculpture garden is worth the trip to the Beartooth Mountains in Fishtail. It is a 12,500-acre ranch (牧场), which is peppered with public art, including sculptures by Mark di Suvero, among others. This summer, the ranch will be open to those who are hiking or traveling by bike. Storm King Art Center (New Windsor) By far the most popular sculpture park in upstate New York, it is a 500-acre sculpture park in Hudson Valley. Since opening in 1960, it has grown to include dozens of sculptures that change over time. In its collection, the park owns sculptures by famous artists including Carl Andre, Louise Bourgeois, and Daniel Buren. Olympic Sculpture Park (Seattle) This outdoor park was created by the nearby Seattle Art Museum and features a large red sculpture by Alexander Calder called Eagle, as well as Wake by Richard Serra. Since 2007, this waterfront park has brought creativity to Elliott Bay. The landscape design fits in with the local roads and skyline, facing the harbor in whatˈs recognized as Seattleˈs largest downtown green space. 21.What can be learned about the garden in Manhattanˈs Chelsea neighborhood? A. It is run by Kasmin Gallery. B. It is designed by Zaha Hadid. C. It has become a part of the High Line. D. It stands for Alma Allenˈs respect for Utah. 22.Which of the following parks is located in Hudson Valley? A. Kasmin Sculpture Garden. B. Tippet Rise Art Center. C. Storm King Art Center. D. Olympic Sculpture Park. 23.Where can you see the sculpture Wake? A. In New York City. B. In Seattle. C. In New Windsor. D. In Fishtail. B Ekaterina Sky, a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan（素食者）, and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who canˈt.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals（壁画）of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animalsˈ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterinaˈs work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someoneˈs soul, we donˈt have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 24.What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? （） A. Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 25.What is the focus of paragraph 3? （） A. Ekaterinaˈs educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterinaˈs unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D. The impact of Ekaterinaˈs art on wildlife conservation efforts. 26.How does Ekaterina Skyˈs artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? （） A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 27.What can we learn from Ekaterinaˈs words in the last paragraph? （） A. Art doesnˈt influence peopleˈs feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. C     At your next meeting, wait for a pause (停顿) in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.     Among English speakers, it is probable that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our understanding of silence differs greatly across cultures.     What one culture considers a confusing or embarrassing pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of thought and respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation lasts four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. However, another study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings.     In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all. It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words.     In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races (种族). When you have difference, it's hard to reach common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people use words to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.     However, when there's more homogeneity, perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with (了解的). 28.Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation? A. The Dutch. B. The American. C. The English. D. The Japanese. 29.What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation? A. Speaking more gives the upper hand. B. Speak out what you have in your mind. C. Great minds think alike without words. D. The shorter talking silence, the better. 30.What can we learn from the text? A. A four second silence in conversation is universal. B. It's hard for American to reach a common agreement. C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers. D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears. 31.What does the underlined word "homogeneity" in the last paragraph mean? A. Similarity. B. Difference. C. Disagreement. D. Misunderstanding. D A team of marine scientists from the University of Sydney has published the first peer-reviewed study documenting the shocking coral bleaching(白化) events that occurred on the southern Great Barrier Reef in early 2024. Led by Professor Maria Byrne from the School of Life and Environmental Sciences, the research highlights the alarming impact of unprecedented marine heatwaves on coral ecosystems, raising urgent concerns for marine biodiversity and the communities that depend on these vital ecosystems. The study provides critical insights into the extent of coral bleaching and mortality(死亡率) during the 2023-2024 global marine heatwave. The research team carefully tracked the health of 462 coral colonies at the University of Sydneyˈs Great Barrier Reef research station at One Tree Island over a period of 161 days. The results revealed that 66 percent of the colonies were bleached by February 2024 and 80 percent by April. By July, 44 percent of the bleached colonies had died, with some coral genera, such as Acropora, experiencing a shocking 95 percent mortality rate. "This research is a wake-up call for policymakers and conservationists. The resilience(恢复力) of coral reefs is being tested like never before, and we must prioritise strategies that enhance their ability to withstand climate change. Our findings underscore the need for immediate and effective management interventions to safeguard these ecosystems," said Byrne. The research also highlights the complex interplay between heat stress, disease onset and coral mortality. Notably, Goniopora corals developed black band disease, contributing to the high mortality rates observed. The study emphasises that the rapid onset of bleaching and disease in corals previously considered resilient poses significant challenges for predicting the future composition of coral reef ecosystems in a warming world. The implications of this research extend beyond the ecology and conservation. Coral reefs offer essential services to human communities, including fisheries, tourism, and coastal protection. As the Great Barrier Reef faces increasing threats from climate change, the study calls for a collaborative approach to conservation that involves local communities, scientists, and policymakers. 32.How may marine scientists react to the result of the research? A. Alarmed. B. Surprised. C. Indifferent. D. Disappointed. 33.What did Byrne want to convey in paragraph 5? A. The need for more research on coral bleaching. B. The importance of coral reefs for marine biodiversity. C. The urgency for immediate management interventions. D. The resilience of coral reefs in the face of climate change. 34.What does the research suggest about the future of coral reefs? A. They will recover quickly. B. Their fate will count on human protection. C. They will be free from climate change. D. They will benefit from human activities. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Beauty of the Great Barrier Reef B. Strategies for Coral Reef Conservation C. A New Method for Studying Coral Bleaching D. Cycle of Coral Bleaching at Dangerous levels 第二节 七选五(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。 How We Garden Some of us are challenged when it comes to gardening.We sometimes worry too much about what other people think about our gardens.The most important thing to remember when youˈre creating your own garden is that it really needs to be about you.     (36)     That said，the best gardens work well with their surrounding environment.For instance，you might want to create a tropical(热带) feel but if youˈve got next-doorˈs oak tree(橡树) as the major background then it could look slightly odd.     (37)      If your garden is north-facing and you use black or grey-colored material，everything could become dark and depressing. When it comes to planting，there are a lot of great influences out there.You might like the work of designers such as Piet Oudolf.But itˈs good to remember that these influences are best used as a guide.     (38)     If you want to use ideas from other garden designers，then look for one that youˈre comfortable with but donˈt try to copy it outright—just be inspired by them.     (39)     I always think that if youˈve got fewer materials then the plants can sing better.For me，the plants are always at the heart of the garden.If you want them to stand out，keep your materials to as small a number as possible. Itˈs the same when we select plants.We often forget that we donˈt need a garden full of stars；we also need plants that provide the support act.     (40)     They often bring a more subtle element to the design. A．A straight copy is never going to work，is it? B．Grasses are a great example of this sort of secondary role. C．All of these considerations will really help you set the tone. D．You shouldnˈt concern yourself with what anyone else thinks. E．The direction your garden faces will also affect the overall look. F．In the use of different materials in your garden design，less is definitely more. G．If you want to keep bugs away from your plants，you can spray pesticide regularly. 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分 30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15小题;每小题 1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。  Returning from a family vacation on the Big Island, Ami Juel and her husband were watching the damage of the Lahaina fires on television.

However, thereˈs one surprising factor that could be affecting your sleep: the color of the paint in your bedroom. According      (57)      a new survey, painting your bedroom a color thatˈs too bright or too dark influences your sleep. Different colors can set different      (58)      (mood) in your space, some of      (59)      may not be favorable to sleep. If you want your bedroom to be more calming, youˈd      (60)      (good) explore neutrals (中和色), light greens, and golds. As is described in the survey, dramatic colors like “bright reds, deep browns, and even olive greens” are less likely     (61)      (leave) you feeling bright-eyed in the morning. Besides, having too dark a room may not keep you up at night,     (62)      it can damage your energy upon      (63)      (wake). On the other hand, a bright color should be avoided in the bedroom because it has the potential to interrupt sleep and promote activity rather than relaxation. Anyway, that doesnˈt mean that dramatic colors have to be off the table      (64)      (entire). But remember: When you decorate your rooms, choosing the right color is      (65)      must. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分 15 分) 66.假定你是李华，你从报纸上得知有很多动物面临着灭绝的危险。请你给世界自然基金会(WWF)写信反映这一情况，呼吁该组织采取措施保护这些动物，内容包括： (1)写信的目的； (2)动物濒危的原因； (3)你的建议。 注意： (1)写作词数应为100左右； (2)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； (3)可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Sir or Madam, I have learned from a newspaper that many animals are in danger of dying out, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写 (满分 25 分) 67.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。词数150左右，续写部分分为两段，每段开头已为你写好。     Several years ago, I worked in an international company selling computer devices. At the time, I had to travel around the country as a part of my work. I remember clearly that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to earn more money.     Once, I went to the airport to take a bus to downtown as usual. The routine was as follows: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back... Somehow, that day I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I found a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there and enjoyed the scenery until the bus came.     I was used to the seat behind the driver. However, that day I sat on a seat in the middle and a boy was seated next to me and he was carrying a great many suitcases. He turned to me suddenly and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. He said warmly, "hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, isn't it?"     I remember saying to myself-this must be one of those typical people who are young and just think everything in the world is beautiful and easy. Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride? But out of politeness, I answered, "Really perfect! Did your dear parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach?" "No, I don't have parents and I'm not here for vacation." He shook his head instantly, "I'm here to achieve my biggest dream. Actually, I'm on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago." 注意： (1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: "I lost my dad 8 years ago then my mom married again.
