If we heat the house throughout the winter, we will spend too much money. W: A better way to save money might be to use a greener energy source. M: What do you mean? W: I mean instead of using gas or coal, why don’t we try solar power? Although it will be costly to get the solar equipment set up, it will be worth it in the long run. And it’s environmentally friendly. M: Good idea. But it’s quite dark during winter, so the equipment won’t transform much sunlight into energy. W: That’s a good point. How about using the wind? M: That’s great! We’ll end up having more energy with the winter storms here! （本题4.5分）听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 10．(1.5分)How high was the Seine River in 1910? A．Around 5 feet high. B．Around 20 feet high.

M: There has been heavy rain that has lifted the Seine River to about 20 feet, its highest level since 1982. It actually reached 28.2 feet in 1910, if you can believe it... It is normally only 5 feet high. Workers have said that the river won’t go back to its original level for another week or two. W: Do you think the ground beneath the Eiffel Tower is flooded? M: It is. I saw a photo of it. W: We won’t even be able to walk around and see the city! M: I think we can still walk around. We just have to bring rain boots so our feet don’t get wet or muddy. Many buildings don’t have power, and I read that staff at the Louvre Museum had to move all the artworks to higher floors. It’s still closed to visitors. W: I hope we can at least see the Musée d’Orsay. That’s my favorite museum in the world. M: That’s closed, too. W: Oh no! （本题6分）听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。 13．(1.5分)What did the woman do last week?

Of course, these efforts are important, but the scientists said we need technology to solve environmental problems. We need modern electricity sources and recycling technology. M: I’ve mainly researched urban planning. Some South American cities planted hundreds of plants and trees along highways to reduce air pollution like this. W: Not quite, but that’s important too. He said we need to spread influence. The more people learn and get excited about new technology that helps the environment, the better these technologies will do work. His technology involves recycling plastic to 3D print items. M: Wow, I’ve never heard of that printing technology before. Plus, I doubt if anyone in the city is using this system. W: So we need to prepare. I will be responsible for researching more information and then you can make the result into a video that can be shown in class. M: Okay, I agree. （本题6分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 17．(1.5分)What is a must for students and teachers on Mondays and Tuesdays? A．Walking no less than 500 meters. B．Doing exercise together at school.

C．Eight hours. 【答案】17．A 18．B 19．C 20．B 【原文】M: Hello, everyone. Our school has decided on a variety of environmental activities. Let me give you an idea about some of these activities. Firstly, Mondays and Tuesdays will be walk-to-school days. That means everyone will go to school on foot. Anyone living far away may use public transport, but they must walk at least half a kilometer. In this way, the school not only encourages students and teachers to exercise, but it also helps to reduce air pollution. Secondly, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, all classes take turns looking after our school garden. After school finishes on Fridays, you will have the opportunity to attend lectures about the dangers our environment faces, and what the solutions are, and what we can all do to be environmentally responsible. The speakers will be either our teachers from our school or scientists from our local community. In addition, there will be a special event once every month. For example, next weekend, we are having an art exhibition. All the art students have made some fantastic things from recycled materials. This exhibition is going to be held at the school gym from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. That’s all from me. Thank you. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Working to protect and restore Rock Creek Park The weed warrior program in Rock Creek Park is a volunteer program that assists the park with efforts to contain the spread of invasive (入侵的) plant species.

As a mangrove ranger, his job is to protect this unique coastal ecosystem. For Zain, this is not just a job; it’s a duty passed down from his father. The work of a ranger is physically demanding and solitary. Zain walks for hours through knee-deep water, under the thick canopy of trees. He checks for signs of illegal logging, monitors the health of the trees, and records any unusual changes in the water. The silence is broken only by the calls of birds and the soft sound of his boots in the mud. He knows every creek and every tree like the back of his hand. One afternoon, Zain noticed fresh cuts on several young trees — a sign of illegal activity. He followed the faint footprints and soon found a man gathering wood. Instead of shouting, Zain approached calmly. He explained how each cut tree weakens the forest’s defense against storms. The man, looking ashamed, put down his axe. “They are not just trees,” Zain said softly. “They are walls that protect our homes.” The man nodded silently and left, promising not to return. Sitting on a root at the end of the day, Zain felt a deep satisfaction. He knew his work was vital. These mangrove forests were more than a workplace. They​ acted as a natural shield, reducing the power of waves and winds during storms and protecting the villages behind them. They were also rich nurseries for fish, supporting the livelihood of local fishermen. As the sun set, painting the sky in orange and purple, Zain smiled. His quiet watch continued, guarding the green wall between the sea and the land. 24．(2.5分)What is Zain’s job? A．A fisherman. B．A scientist. C．A mangrove ranger. D．A village teacher. 25．(2.5分)What is a main feature of Zain’s work according to paragraph 2? A．Highly paid and exciting. B．Physically demanding and solitary. C．Focused on planting new trees. D．Full of team meetings and cooperation. 26．(2.5分)What does the word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．The roots Zain sat on. B．The man’s promises. C．The mangrove forests. D．The local fishermen’s boats. 27．(2.5分)What is one important function of protecting the mangroves? A．They provide wood for building houses. B．They attract many tourists for sightseeing. C．They serve as a natural defense against storms. D．They are mainly used for scientific research. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．C 【导语】主要讲述马来西亚护林员Zain坚守红树林岗位，传承父辈责任。他日常巡护制止非法伐木，深知红树林能防风护村、滋养渔产，始终默默守护这片生态屏障。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“As a mangrove ranger, his job is to protect this unique coastal ecosystem.(作为一名红树林巡护员，他的职责就是保护这片独特的沿海生态系统)”可知，扎因的工作是红树林巡护员。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“The work of a ranger is physically demanding and solitary.(护林员的工作既需要体力投入，又十分孤独)”可知，扎因的工作主要特点是需要大量体力且较为孤独。 26．词句猜测题。根据第四段“These mangrove forests were more than a workplace. They acted as a natural shield, reducing the power of waves and winds during storms and protecting the villages behind them. They were also rich nurseries for fish, supporting the livelihood of local fishermen.(这些红树林不仅仅是一个工作场所。它们起到天然屏障的作用，在风暴期间减少海浪和风的力量，保护它们后面的村庄。它们也是丰富的养鱼场，支持着当地渔民的生计。)”可知，“They”指代前一句的主语“These mangrove forests(这些红树林)”。 27．细节理解题。根据第四段“They acted as a natural shield, reducing the power of waves and winds during storms and protecting the villages behind them.(它们起到了天然屏障的作用，在风暴来临时减弱了海浪和风力的威力，并保护了它们身后的小村庄)”可知，保护红树林的一个重要作用是能起到抵御风暴的天然屏障作用。 （本题10分）Local volunteer groups have become an important driving force for ecological protection on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原). Many people have the wrong idea that wildlife protection only means saving one rare animal. In fact, real ecosystem protection refers to protecting whole food chains and natural habitats. A healthy ecosystem means a balance among plants, animals, and tiny living things that break down waste. Losing even one small part can cause big problems. Volunteers in high areas do many practical field tasks. They walk into rivers to pick up floating rubbish, often filling many bags each time. They keep records of wild animal movements, writing down the types, numbers, and places. They also remove harmful plants that grow too fast and hurt local plants. Most of these volunteers are local people. They know the land well and understand seasonal changes, so they are good at outdoor work. Before they start, they receive training from environmental researchers. They learn how to recognize different animals and plants and how to use simple tools. Working on the plateau is physically hard. The air is thin above 4,000 meters, so even walking feels tiring. Strong sunlight can hurt skin quickly. Cold winds blow often, especially in winter. But their work does not try to make fast changes. Instead, they focus on long-term watching and slow improvement. Some projects may take years to show clear results. Local people combine their old knowledge with modern protection methods. For example, they use traditional ways of raising farm animals to avoid disturbing wildlife when they have babies. Experts say that community-led volunteer work is a useful addition to government protection programs. Government teams often work in large nature reserves, while local volunteers help in smaller, faraway places. When locals and researchers work together, they get better results for the plateau’s fragile environment. 28．(2.5分)How does the author explain “a healthy ecosystem” in Paragraph 1? A．By giving a typical example. B．By giving a clear definition. C．By telling a detailed story. D．By comparing diverse ideas. 29．(2.5分)What makes local people good at field work? A．They have modern tools. B．They work for the government. C．They receive a high pay. D．They know the land and seasons. 30．(2.5分)What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The training volunteers receive. B．The beauty of the plateau land. C．The challenges volunteers face. D．The fast results of their work. 31．(2.5分)What’s the best structure of the passage? A．Clarification → Actions → Difficulties → Significance B．Concept → Examples → Comparison → Prediction C．Background → Story → Analysis → Suggestion D．Problem → Practices → Examples → Solution 【答案】28．B 29．D 30．C 31．A 【导语】主要介绍青藏高原当地志愿者团队开展生态保护工作，包括理念、行动、困难与价值。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A healthy ecosystem means a balance among plants, animals, and tiny living things that break down waste.(健康的生态系统指植物、动物以及分解废弃物的微小生物之间的平衡。)”可知，作者通过下定义的方式解释健康的生态系统。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Most of these volunteers are local people. They know the land well and understand seasonal changes, so they are good at outdoor work.(这些志愿者大多是当地人。他们熟悉这片土地，了解季节变化，因此擅长野外工作。)”可知，当地人熟悉土地与季节变化，所以擅长野外工作。 30．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Working on the plateau is physically hard. The air is thin above 4,000 meters, so even walking feels tiring. Strong sunlight can hurt skin quickly. Cold winds blow often, especially in winter.(在高原工作体力消耗很大。海拔4000米以上空气稀薄，就连走路都觉得疲惫。强烈的阳光会很快灼伤皮肤，寒风常年肆虐，冬季尤甚。)”可知，本段主要讲述志愿者面临的各种挑战。 31．推理判断题。第一段：阐释生态保护理念（概念澄清 Clarification）；第二段：志愿者开展的各类保护行动（Actions）；第三段：高原工作面临的困难（Difficulties）；第四段：社区志愿工作的意义与价值（Significance）。文章结构：理念阐释 → 保护行动 → 面临困难 → 工作意义。 （本题10分）The number of chicks in the Coulman Island emperor penguin population decreased by around 69% in 2025 compared with 2024, according to a study published in Communications Earth & Environment. The authors suggest that a large iceberg, which grounded off the island between July 2025 and January 2026, likely restricted the colony’s access to important feeding areas, demonstrating that individual iceberg movements may affect breeding (繁殖) success even when overall sea ice conditions appear favourable. During the breeding season (between June and January), emperor penguins require both stable sea ice and reliable access to open water food sources so that adults can feed their immature chicks. Overall sea ice conditions are known to affect breeding success, but previous observations have suggested that individual large icebergs may also have an effect. Jeong-Hoon Kim and colleagues conducted two aerial field surveys of the emperor penguin population on Coulman Island, Antarctica, in November and December 2025. They counted 6,658 live chicks — approximately 69% fewer than both the 2024 count and the 2017 — 2024 mean count (平均计数). During field observations, the authors observed a large iceberg grounded 3 — 5 km north of the colony. Satellite imagery showed that this iceberg (about 13.9 km long and 4.0 km wide) had collapsed in March 2025, approached the colony in July, and finally grounded on 28 July, during the hatching season. The authors combined the iceberg’s positional data with a detailed model of its shape, obtained from aerial imagery collected during the survey. They suggest that the iceberg’s steep (陡峭的) southern face and its grounded position likely increased the distance penguins needed to travel to find food from around 9.3 km in 2024 to approximately 14.9 km in 2025. They propose that this increased distance contributed to the reduced breeding success in 2025. The authors note that the study only covers a single season and that the findings are observational. However, they also suggest that while such iceberg events are unpredictable and typically temporary, future research into emperor penguin breeding should consider the role these events can play alongside broader trends. 32．(2.5分)What is special about the 2025 emperor penguin breeding failure? A．It was caused by unstable sea-ice conditions. B．It resulted from multiple environmental threats. C．It occurred despite good general sea ice conditions. D．It led to an immediate drop in adult penguin numbers. 33．(2.5分)What directly caused the sharp drop in young penguins on Coulman Island in 2025? A．Shortage of suitable breeding grounds. B．Frequent extreme weather in Antarctica. C．The lack of food in the open water nearby. D．A grounded iceberg increasing feeding distance. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the study? A．It covered the entire breeding process. B．It confirmed icebergs as the primary threat. C．Its conclusion requires longer-term evidence. D．Its analysis neglected overall sea ice impacts. 35．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare sea ice conditions across years. B．To describe the lifestyle of emperor penguins. C．To appeal for urgent protection of emperor penguins. D．To present a new study on penguin breeding outcomes. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．C 35．D 【导语】文章介绍了一项新科研，库尔曼岛帝企鹅幼雏数量大幅下降，原因是冰山搁浅拉长企鹅觅食路程；该研究仅基于单季观测，未来还需更多研究。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The number of chicks in the Coulman Island emperor penguin population decreased by around 69% in 2025 compared with 2024, according to a study published in Communications Earth & Environment. The authors suggest that a large iceberg, which grounded off the island between July 2025 and January 2026, likely restricted the colony’s access to important feeding areas, demonstrating that individual iceberg movements may affect breeding success even when overall sea ice conditions appear favourable. (根据发表在《通讯‑地球与环境》上的一项研究，与2024年相比，2025年库尔曼岛帝企鹅种群的幼雏数量下降约69%。研究人员表示，一座大型冰山于2025年7月至2026年1月之间在该岛附近搁浅，这座冰山很可能阻断了企鹅种群前往重要觅食区的通道。这表明，即便整体海冰状况看似有利，单个冰山的移动也可能影响企鹅的繁殖成功率。)”可知，这次繁殖失败的特殊之处在于：即便整体海冰状况看似有利，单个冰山的移动也可能影响企鹅的繁殖成功率，对应C选项。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“They suggest that the iceberg’s steep southern face and its grounded position likely increased the distance penguins needed to travel to find food from around 9.3 km in 2024 to approximately 14.9 km in 2025. They propose that this increased distance contributed to the reduced breeding success in 2025. (他们提出：冰山陡峭的南壁以及搁浅位置，可能会把企鹅觅食的往返距离从2024年约9.3千米增加到2025年约14.9千米。他们认为，觅食距离增加，造成了2025年繁殖成功率下降。)”可知，搁浅的冰山拉长了觅食距离，造成了企鹅雏鸟数量的锐减。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The authors note that the study only covers a single season and that the findings are observational. However, they also suggest that while such iceberg events are unpredictable and typically temporary, future research into emperor penguin breeding should consider the role these events can play alongside broader trends. (研究作者指出，该研究仅覆盖一个繁殖季，研究结果属于观测所得。但同时提出：虽然冰山事件不可预测且通常是暂时性的，但未来有关帝企鹅繁殖的研究，除关注大范围变化趋势外，也应当考虑这类冰山事件带来的影响。)”可知，该研究只观测一个季节，因此结论还需要后续更多长期研究支撑。 35．推理判断题。根据第一段“The number of chicks in the Coulman Island emperor penguin population decreased by around 69% in 2025 compared with 2024, according to a study published in Communications Earth & Environment.

Anyone can enjoy an unforgettable journey through the universe. 36(2.5分) Avoid light pollution. Light pollution results from the overused or poorly directed artificial light produced by cities, streetlights, buildings, and vehicles. It creates a glowing mist that hides faint stars and other objects in the sky. No stargazer wants such an obstacle to spoil the view. 37(2.5分) If you’re observing from home, consider using professional instruments that direct light downward.Consider the moon. The moon, our closest neighbor in space, goes through a monthly cycle of phases that greatly affect stargazing conditions. The best time to observe the stars is during the new moon, when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun and remains invisible, leaving the sky at its darkest. 38(2.5分) Height matters. To get a clear view of the sky, it’s important to choose a location free from surrounding buildings. 39(2.5分) If traveling to the countryside isn’t an option, try to get to a higher spot. The rooftop of a tall building, for instance, can help you rise above nearby structures and improve your view. Look for accessible buildings in your area that might offer this advantage. 40(2.5分) Timing plays a key role in what you’ll see in the night sky. Winter generally offers the clearest skies because cold air holds less moisture-just remember to dress warmly. Summer skies bring a different set of star groups and often present a stunning view of the Milky Way. Beginners may find dusk, just after sunset, a good time to start, while serious stargazers with better equipment often prefer the late-night hours. A．Pick the right time. B．Take account of the season. C．Rural areas are ideal for this. D．All you need is a little preparation and knowledge. E．Using a telescope can greatly enhance your viewing experience.

G．If possible, visit a dark park that is specially meant for stargazing. 【答案】36．D 37．G 38．F 39．C 40．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了如何通过一些准备和知识来享受难忘的观星体验。 【详解】36．由上文“Stargazing offers a breathtaking connection to the universe, yet many people miss out on this experience due to a few easily overlooked factors. Anyone can enjoy an unforgettable journey through the universe.(观星提供了与宇宙的惊人联系，然而许多人由于一些容易被忽视的因素而错过了这种体验。任何人都可以享受一段难忘的宇宙之旅。)”可知，上文提到观星能带来与宇宙的惊人联系，但很多人因一些因素错过，接着表明任何人都能享受难忘的宇宙之旅，本空应说明享受观星之旅所需的条件。D选项“你所需要的只是一点准备和知识。”能承接上文，符合语境。 37．由上文“Avoid light pollution.(避免光污染。)”及下文“If you’re observing from home, consider using professional instruments that direct light downward.(如果你在家观察，考虑使用将光线向下引导的专业仪器。)”可知，上文提出要避免光污染，下文说在家观察时使用专业仪器减少光污染，本空应说明为避免光污染可采取的具体行动。G选项“如果可能的话，参观一个专门为观星而设的黑暗公园。”能承上启下，符合语境。 38．由上文“The best time to observe the stars is during the new moon, when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun and remains invisible, leaving the sky at its darkest.(观察星星的最佳时间是在新月期间，此时月亮位于地球和太阳之间，不可见，天空最暗。)”可知，上文提到新月期间是观星最佳时间，因为此时天空最暗，本空应说明与月亮对观星影响相关的内容。F选项“为了更好地看到星星，最好避开满月的夜晚。”能承上启下，符合语境。 39．由上文“Height matters.(高度很重要。)”及下文“If traveling to the countryside isn’t an option, try to get to a higher spot.(如果去乡下旅行不是一个选择，试着找一个更高的地方。)”可知，上文强调高度对观星的重要性，下文说如果不能去乡下就找更高处，本空应说明与观星理想地点相关的内容。C选项“农村地区是理想的观星地点。”能承上启下，符合语境。 40．由下文“Timing plays a key role in what you’ll see in the night sky. Winter generally offers the clearest skies because cold air holds less moisture-just remember to dress warmly. Summer skies bring a different set of star groups and often present a stunning view of the Milky Way. Beginners may find dusk, just after sunset, a good time to start, while serious stargazers with better equipment often prefer the late-night hours.(时间在你在夜空中看到的东西中起着关键作用。冬天的天空通常最清澈，因为冷空气含有的水分较少——只要记得穿暖和点。夏日的天空会带来不同的星群，常常呈现出银河系的壮丽景色。初学者可能会发现日落后不久的黄昏是一个很好的开始时间，而拥有更好设备的严肃观星者通常更喜欢深夜。)”可知，下文主要围绕观星的时间展开，说明不同时间观星的不同情况，本空应说明与选择合适观星时间相关的内容。A选项“选择合适的时间。”能概括下文内容，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）It happened in Australia’s Kakadu National Park.

Confident自信的；B. Carefree无忧无虑的；C. Invisible看不见的；D. Hesitant犹豫的。根据前文“No ripples, no sound.”可知，鳄鱼藏在水面下，不动也不发出声音，因此是“看不见的”。 43．考查动词。句意：它此刻甚至可能正注视着我。A. leaving离开；B. ignoring忽视；C. watching注视；D. attacking攻击。根据前文“But I knew it was there.”可知，作者推测鳄鱼此时正在水下盯着自己。 44．考查形容词。句意：鳄鱼是世界上最高效的捕猎者之一。A. flexible灵活的；B. effective有效的；C. cruel残忍的；D. common普通的。根据后文“In short, they’re built for the kill.”可知，鳄鱼的身体构造非常适合捕猎，说明鳄鱼是世界上高效的捕猎者。 45．考查动词。句意：它们的眼睛和鼻子长在头部较高的位置，而整个身体却潜藏在水面之下。A. placed放置；B. positioned使位于；C. fixed固定；D. bent弯曲。此处讲鳄鱼身体器官的生长位置，position作动词表示“使位于，定位”，符合描述生物构造位置的语境。 46．考查动词。句意：凭借爆发力极强的尾部力量以及能在水下潜伏数小时的本领，它们的身体构造9500万年来一直保持不变。A. remained保持；B. appeared出现；C. enjoyed享受；D. suffered遭受。根据空后“unchanged for 95 million years.”可知，鳄鱼的身体构造9500万年一直没有改变，remain unchanged是固定搭配“保持不变”。 47．考查副词。句意：简而言之，它们生来就是为捕猎而生的。A. randomly随意地；B. simply简直；C. eventually最终；D. partially部分地。根据前文“Crocodiles are among the world’s most hunters.”可知，前文总结鳄鱼适合捕猎的身体优势，此处总结“它们简直就是为捕猎而生的”，simply符合语义。 48．考查名词。句意：当我继续扫视水面时，我察觉到了一丝动静：一圈淡淡的涟漪。A. effect效果；B. success成功；C. surprise惊讶；D. movement动静。根据空后“a soft ripple”可知，水面泛起了涟漪，因此作者是看到了动静。 49．考查动词短语。句意：这头沉默的猛兽把目标锁定在了我身上。A. jumps at欣然接受；B. locks onto锁定；C. counts on依靠；D. runs into偶遇。根据后文“I feel my heart racing.

Before we hit the road, she showed me a short video introducing a new Beijing Opera adapted from the world-famous play Hamlet. She told me that traditional stage art could transform boring environmental knowledge into lively stories, which would have a deep impact on ordinary people’s minds. During our drive, we passed green hills, clear rivers and endless blue sea. Grandma shared shocking facts with me: many people feared sharks only because of the old film Jaws. Yet they knew little that countless sharks lost their lives every year because of plastic pollution and shark fin hunting. One warm afternoon, we wandered along the quiet sandy beach after lunch. Suddenly, a weak splash caught our attention. We walked closer and spotted a young shark tightly trapped in abandoned plastic fishing nets. It struggled painfully in shallow water, one fin badly wounded, and pieces of plastic rubbish wrapped around its whole body. My heart sank the moment I saw its helpless eyes. Grandma sighed and reminded me that human activity was destroying ocean balance day by day. I was determined to save the poor creature right away, but we carried no sharp tools to cut the strong nets. We looked around the empty shore anxiously, not knowing who we could turn to for help. Just at that moment, a group of local teenagers carrying piles of environmental leaflets walked towards us. Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. One boy took a pair of safe scissors out of his environmental bag, while the rest knelt down and held the shark gently to calm it down. We cooperated patiently, carefully cutting every layer of plastic net around its body. Admiring its shiny silver skin, I truly understood that movies like Jaws had a terrible impact on public attitudes toward sharks, making most people ignore their endangered situation. After we set it free, the shark waved its tail and swam slowly toward the deep ocean. The teens said they handed out leaflets every weekend, and their protection activities were based on real survey data of local sea wildlife. Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. Grandma created a short Beijing Opera play transformed into a warm story of shark protection, which was filled with vivid lines about ocean balance. Lots of passing tourists stopped to watch and gladly took our leaflets. We fully took people’s misunderstanding of sharks into account and patiently explained why sharks mattered to the sea. This unforgettable road trip completely changed my opinion: stage art and travel could work together to spread green ideas. I promised to keep telling such meaningful stories and stick to eco-friendly habits in daily life. 【导语】本文以环保和舞台艺术为线索，讲述了作者和热爱环保与舞台艺术的奶奶前往海边小镇旅行，途中了解到大众因影片误解鲨鱼，忽视鲨鱼遭受塑料污染、鱼鳍捕猎的生存危机。海边游玩时，二人发现一头幼鲨被塑料渔网缠绕困住、伤势严重，危急时刻一群当地环保青少年赶来，为救援鲨鱼带来希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由首句内容可知，第一段可续写描写青少年迅速赶来救援，众人分工协作、耐心剪开渔网、安抚鲨鱼，成功将其放归大海。作者借此反思大众对鲨鱼的刻板误解，并了解到青少年长期坚持开展海洋环保宣传。 ②由首句内容可知，第二段可续写描写奶奶改编京剧短剧，以生动的舞台形式科普鲨鱼保护与海洋生态知识，吸引游客驻足学习。作者深刻感悟，传统艺术结合旅行公益，是传播绿色理念的绝佳方式，并立志坚守环保初心。 2.续写线索：青少年赶来救援→众人协作解救幼鲨→鲨鱼重归大海→了解当地环保行动→改编京剧短剧→海滩公益演出→科普海洋保护知识→打破大众误解→感悟艺术与公益的力量、立志践行环保 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.协作合作：cooperate/collaborate ②.释放：set free/release ③.宣传传播：spread/promote 情绪/状态类 ①.温柔地：gently/softly ②.生动的：vivid/lively ③.难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1].

As a mangrove ranger, his job is to protect this unique coastal ecosystem. For Zain, this is not just a job; it’s a duty passed down from his father. The work of a ranger is physically demanding and solitary. Zain walks for hours through knee-deep water, under the thick canopy of trees. He checks for signs of illegal logging, monitors the health of the trees, and records any unusual changes in the water. The silence is broken only by the calls of birds and the soft sound of his boots in the mud. He knows every creek and every tree like the back of his hand. One afternoon, Zain noticed fresh cuts on several young trees — a sign of illegal activity. He followed the faint footprints and soon found a man gathering wood. Instead of shouting, Zain approached calmly. He explained how each cut tree weakens the forest’s defense against storms. The man, looking ashamed, put down his axe. “They are not just trees,” Zain said softly. “They are walls that protect our homes.” The man nodded silently and left, promising not to return. Sitting on a root at the end of the day, Zain felt a deep satisfaction. He knew his work was vital. These mangrove forests were more than a workplace. They​ acted as a natural shield, reducing the power of waves and winds during storms and protecting the villages behind them. They were also rich nurseries for fish, supporting the livelihood of local fishermen. As the sun set, painting the sky in orange and purple, Zain smiled. His quiet watch continued, guarding the green wall between the sea and the land. 24．(2.5分)What is Zain’s job? A．A fisherman. B．A scientist. C．A mangrove ranger. D．A village teacher. 25．(2.5分)What is a main feature of Zain’s work according to paragraph 2? A．Highly paid and exciting. B．Physically demanding and solitary. C．Focused on planting new trees. D．Full of team meetings and cooperation. 26．(2.5分)What does the word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．The roots Zain sat on. B．The man’s promises. C．The mangrove forests. D．The local fishermen’s boats. 27．(2.5分)What is one important function of protecting the mangroves? A．They provide wood for building houses. B．They attract many tourists for sightseeing. C．They serve as a natural defense against storms. D．They are mainly used for scientific research. （本题10分）Local volunteer groups have become an important driving force for ecological protection on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原). Many people have the wrong idea that wildlife protection only means saving one rare animal. In fact, real ecosystem protection refers to protecting whole food chains and natural habitats. A healthy ecosystem means a balance among plants, animals, and tiny living things that break down waste. Losing even one small part can cause big problems. Volunteers in high areas do many practical field tasks. They walk into rivers to pick up floating rubbish, often filling many bags each time. They keep records of wild animal movements, writing down the types, numbers, and places. They also remove harmful plants that grow too fast and hurt local plants. Most of these volunteers are local people. They know the land well and understand seasonal changes, so they are good at outdoor work. Before they start, they receive training from environmental researchers. They learn how to recognize different animals and plants and how to use simple tools. Working on the plateau is physically hard. The air is thin above 4,000 meters, so even walking feels tiring. Strong sunlight can hurt skin quickly. Cold winds blow often, especially in winter. But their work does not try to make fast changes. Instead, they focus on long-term watching and slow improvement. Some projects may take years to show clear results. Local people combine their old knowledge with modern protection methods. For example, they use traditional ways of raising farm animals to avoid disturbing wildlife when they have babies. Experts say that community-led volunteer work is a useful addition to government protection programs. Government teams often work in large nature reserves, while local volunteers help in smaller, faraway places. When locals and researchers work together, they get better results for the plateau’s fragile environment. 28．(2.5分)How does the author explain “a healthy ecosystem” in Paragraph 1?

The authors suggest that a large iceberg, which grounded off the island between July 2025 and January 2026, likely restricted the colony’s access to important feeding areas, demonstrating that individual iceberg movements may affect breeding (繁殖) success even when overall sea ice conditions appear favourable. During the breeding season (between June and January), emperor penguins require both stable sea ice and reliable access to open water food sources so that adults can feed their immature chicks. Overall sea ice conditions are known to affect breeding success, but previous observations have suggested that individual large icebergs may also have an effect. Jeong-Hoon Kim and colleagues conducted two aerial field surveys of the emperor penguin population on Coulman Island, Antarctica, in November and December 2025. They counted 6,658 live chicks — approximately 69% fewer than both the 2024 count and the 2017 — 2024 mean count (平均计数). During field observations, the authors observed a large iceberg grounded 3 — 5 km north of the colony. Satellite imagery showed that this iceberg (about 13.9 km long and 4.0 km wide) had collapsed in March 2025, approached the colony in July, and finally grounded on 28 July, during the hatching season. The authors combined the iceberg’s positional data with a detailed model of its shape, obtained from aerial imagery collected during the survey. They suggest that the iceberg’s steep (陡峭的) southern face and its grounded position likely increased the distance penguins needed to travel to find food from around 9.3 km in 2024 to approximately 14.9 km in 2025. They propose that this increased distance contributed to the reduced breeding success in 2025. The authors note that the study only covers a single season and that the findings are observational. However, they also suggest that while such iceberg events are unpredictable and typically temporary, future research into emperor penguin breeding should consider the role these events can play alongside broader trends. 32．(2.5分)What is special about the 2025 emperor penguin breeding failure? A．It was caused by unstable sea-ice conditions. B．It resulted from multiple environmental threats. C．It occurred despite good general sea ice conditions. D．It led to an immediate drop in adult penguin numbers. 33．(2.5分)What directly caused the sharp drop in young penguins on Coulman Island in 2025? A．Shortage of suitable breeding grounds. B．Frequent extreme weather in Antarctica. C．The lack of food in the open water nearby. D．A grounded iceberg increasing feeding distance. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the study? A．It covered the entire breeding process. B．It confirmed icebergs as the primary threat. C．Its conclusion requires longer-term evidence. D．Its analysis neglected overall sea ice impacts. 35．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the text? A．To compare sea ice conditions across years. B．To describe the lifestyle of emperor penguins. C．To appeal for urgent protection of emperor penguins. D．To present a new study on penguin breeding outcomes. （本题12.5分）Stargazing offers a breathtaking connection to the universe, yet many people miss out on this experience due to a few easily overlooked factors. Anyone can enjoy an unforgettable journey through the universe. 36(2.5分) Avoid light pollution. Light pollution results from the overused or poorly directed artificial light produced by cities, streetlights, buildings, and vehicles. It creates a glowing mist that hides faint stars and other objects in the sky. No stargazer wants such an obstacle to spoil the view. 37(2.5分) If you’re observing from home, consider using professional instruments that direct light downward.Consider the moon. The moon, our closest neighbor in space, goes through a monthly cycle of phases that greatly affect stargazing conditions. The best time to observe the stars is during the new moon, when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun and remains invisible, leaving the sky at its darkest. 38(2.5分) Height matters. To get a clear view of the sky, it’s important to choose a location free from surrounding buildings. 39(2.5分) If traveling to the countryside isn’t an option, try to get to a higher spot. The rooftop of a tall building, for instance, can help you rise above nearby structures and improve your view. Look for accessible buildings in your area that might offer this advantage. 40(2.5分) Timing plays a key role in what you’ll see in the night sky. Winter generally offers the clearest skies because cold air holds less moisture-just remember to dress warmly. Summer skies bring a different set of star groups and often present a stunning view of the Milky Way. Beginners may find dusk, just after sunset, a good time to start, while serious stargazers with better equipment often prefer the late-night hours. A．Pick the right time. B．Take account of the season. C．Rural areas are ideal for this. D．All you need is a little preparation and knowledge. E．Using a telescope can greatly enhance your viewing experience. F．It’s best to avoid nights with a full moon for better star visibility. G．If possible, visit a dark park that is specially meant for stargazing. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）It happened in Australia’s Kakadu National Park.

Before we hit the road, she showed me a short video introducing a new Beijing Opera adapted from the world-famous play Hamlet. She told me that traditional stage art could transform boring environmental knowledge into lively stories, which would have a deep impact on ordinary people’s minds. During our drive, we passed green hills, clear rivers and endless blue sea. Grandma shared shocking facts with me: many people feared sharks only because of the old film Jaws. Yet they knew little that countless sharks lost their lives every year because of plastic pollution and shark fin hunting. One warm afternoon, we wandered along the quiet sandy beach after lunch. Suddenly, a weak splash caught our attention. We walked closer and spotted a young shark tightly trapped in abandoned plastic fishing nets. It struggled painfully in shallow water, one fin badly wounded, and pieces of plastic rubbish wrapped around its whole body. My heart sank the moment I saw its helpless eyes. Grandma sighed and reminded me that human activity was destroying ocean balance day by day. I was determined to save the poor creature right away, but we carried no sharp tools to cut the strong nets. We looked around the empty shore anxiously, not knowing who we could turn to for help. Just at that moment, a group of local teenagers carrying piles of environmental leaflets walked towards us. Paragraph 1: Seeing the trapped shark, the teenagers rushed over immediately. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we left the town three days later, we held a small outdoor show on the beach. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Our class plans to visit the science museum this saturday. but I heard the river bank is full of litter.

Our school has decided on a variety of environmental activities. Let me give you an idea about some of these activities. Firstly, mondays and tuesday will be walked to school days. That means everyone will go to school on food. Anyone living far away may use public transport, but they must walk at least half a kilometer. In this way, the school not only encourages students and teachers to exercise, but IT also helps to reduce air pollution. Secondly, on wednesdays and thursdays, all classes take turns looking after our school garden. After school finishes, on fridays, you will have the opportunity to attend lectures about the dangers our environment faces, what the solutions are and what we can all do to be environmentally responsible. The speakers will be either our teachers from our school or scientists from our local community. In addition, there will be a special event once every month. For example, next weekend we are having an art exhibition. All the art students have made some fantastic things from recycled materials. This exhibition is going to be held at the school gym from ten m to two PM on both saturday and sunday. That's all for me. Thank you. Hello everyone.
