It brings us much information, yet it also causes some problems if we use it improperly. Here are our suggestions. First, we should check whether online news is true before sharing it. Second, we’d better control our screen‑time and spend more time on our schoolwork. Let’s develop good media‑literacy skills and become wise media users.

B During the 50th Annual Violin Society of America Convention and the 25th International Violin Making Competition held in Indiana, US, from Nov 17 to 22, 2024, Yan Xiaoyang won the award of Artisanship, marking the highest honor achieved by Ningxia in such international events. The event attracted 450 participants from over 40 countries and regions worldwide and showcased more than 1,000 instruments, including violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Yan Xiaoyang, 68, from Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, spent over a decade establishing himself as a top violin maker. When he was 14, Yan first encountered the violin purchased by his father. “My four brothers and I were all fond of it, but it was difficult for me to get a turn, which sparked my interest in making my own violin,” Yan recalled. Three years later, with his woodworking skills, Yan crafted his first violin. “Although the sound quality was unsatisfactory, it marked the first step,” he said. “Since then, handmade violins have been my hobby.” In 2014, Yan fulfilled his long-cherished dream of learning professional violin making under the guidance of the international violin maker Chang Zhongqiu. “Under Chang’s guidance, I gradually grasped the essence of violin making and successfully produced high-quality violins,” he said. “I also received guidance from the international violin-making master Zheng Quan, which further emphasized my attention to detail in violin making and perfect musical expression.” In 2019, Yan began participating in various international violin-making competitions. The standards for competition violins, especially regarding craftsmanship, are extremely strict. “There are more than 100 processes in the violin craftsmanship and each must be done with great care,” he said. “Violin making involves many crucial processes that determine the instrument’s sound and quality, such as crafting the top and back plates.” To ensure the violin achieves a balanced tone, Yan designed the top and back plates with 68 points on each. “I measure the thickness of each point with a micrometer,” he said. “Excellent violin makers need to adhere to craftsmanship standards strictly and undergo repeated adjustments to achieve the instrument’s desired sound state.” By following the paths of our predecessors, he aimed to create a more classic, better and perfect instrument. 24．What can we learn about Yan Xiaoyang’s achievement? A．He pioneered Ningxia’s first international craftsman award. B．He was the oldest participant in the competition held in Indiana. C．His skills attracted 450 participants from more than 40 countries to Ningxia. D．His award is Ningxia’s top honor in international violin-making competitions. 25．What inspired Yan Xiaoyang to make his own violin? A．His early interest in woodworking. B．Limited access to the violin bought by his father. C．His desire to achieve perfection in instrument making. D．Guidance from international violin master Zheng Quan. 26．Why did Yan design the top and back plates with 68 points on each? A．To reduce the time required for violin production. B．To follow the standard set by violin-making masters. C．To ensure a balanced tone through plate thickness control. D．To demonstrate his unique use of micrometers in violin making. 27．What does the author intend to tell us? A．True craftsmen set the trend for artists. B．True craftsmen lead to new inventions. C．Great craftsmanship blooms from talent and patience. D．Great craftsmanship lies in devotion and perseverance. C Our planet has just seen its hottest month on record, with many places on fire or flooded. The likelihood of extreme weather keeps increasing—and people are noticing. However, not everyone notices or feels this threat to the same extent. Based on a representative sample of 1,071 survey respondents from across the UK, we found that people in rural areas showed higher degrees of place attachment than people living in cities, as we expected. However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in most rural locations was lower. We had not expected that outcome, so we started to dig a little deeper for possible reasons. Rural people may be more resilient to change. Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature. This may have taught them to be more flexible in how they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lot and that could make them less worried about the major changes happening around them. People in rural areas may not be as aware of climate change as people in cities. Looking more closely, the effect is mostly down to education rather than whether people live in rural areas or not. Research shows that general levels of climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this does not necessarily correspond to readiness for action or behavioural change. It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate. People in rural areas may not experience climate change in the same way as people in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels of green space than urban areas. For example, you will feel the heat less when you are surrounded by trees. So, although we were surprised that the higher degree of place attachment in people living rurally did not necessarily lead to a higher perception of climate change threat, we can see there are good reasons for that. 28．What does the word “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Easy to adapt. B．Ready to illustrate. C．Difficult to notice. D．Willing to challenge. 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Conservative views in rural areas lower the perception of climate change. B．Strong rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness. C．Well-educated people are more likely to take actions for climate change. D．Rural people pay more attention to climate change than city residents. 30．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Who are to blame for climate change? B．How do people perceive climate change? C．Why is climate change perceived differently? D．What can people do to cope with climate change? D Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky. The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.” The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — the tiny pieces produced by wearing vehicle tires float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste. Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited, these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice. However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems. How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation. Despite these uncertainties, the study sends a clear message: plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem. It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale — one that, as Brahney put it, “We’re only beginning to understand.” 31．What is the primary contribution of the Utah State University study? A．Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution. B．Comparing microplastic levels in different environments. C．Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics. D．Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics. 32．What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Concentrated. B．Trapped. C．Released. D．Dropped. 33．Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research? A．Its migration routes. B．Its monitoring methods. C．Its diverse sources. D．Its environmental impacts. 34．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Warning: The Threat of Microplastics B．Road Traffic: An Unexpected Source of Pollution C．A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky D．Microplastic Particles: A Problem of Various Origins 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” 35 In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 36 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word coming out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.” 37 So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 38 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle shift in language is far more than just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset, shifting your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to take what you say seriously. 39 Stop using your voice to curse (诅咒) the promising life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree! A．When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. B．You are putting huge pressure on your friends around you. C．Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement. D．Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality. E．Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. F．You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself. G．Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Nowadays, most teenagers get much of their information from social‑media platforms. In the past, many parents and teachers usually focused on the bad influence social media might bring. They worried that teenagers would spend too much time online and ignore their schoolwork. Last year, I used to accept every piece of information I saw online without checking its source when I was in Senior Two. I often shared hot posts on my WeChat moments quickly. One day, I spread a piece of false news about a local activity. Soon my teacher told me the news was not real and explained the harm of spreading untrue information online. That experience taught me a valuable lesson. Later, my media‑literacy teacher Ms. Wang helped me a lot. She did not only give me advice on how to tell true information from fake news, but also taught me how to use social‑media tools to collect learning materials. Gradually, I changed my habits online. I have learned to think twice before sharing anything on the Internet. From my experience, I realize that social‑media is neither good nor bad in itself. It is our choices that decide whether it will benefit us or cause trouble. We should make good use of online resources and become wise media users. 40．What did many parents and teachers usually focus on?                             41．What mistake did the author make when he was in Senior Two?                              42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, and then underline it and explain why. As a media-literacy teacher, Ms. Wang not only gave me advice on how to tell true information from fake news, but also taught me lots of skills to make popular online posts.                               43．Who or what has influenced you most when you use social‑media? Please Explain.

Three years later, with his woodworking skills, Yan crafted his first violin. “Although the sound quality was unsatisfactory, it marked the first step,” he said. “Since then, handmade violins have been my hobby.” In 2014, Yan fulfilled his long-cherished dream of learning professional violin making under the guidance of the international violin maker Chang Zhongqiu. “Under Chang’s guidance, I gradually grasped the essence of violin making and successfully produced high-quality violins,” he said. “I also received guidance from the international violin-making master Zheng Quan, which further emphasized my attention to detail in violin making and perfect musical expression.” In 2019, Yan began participating in various international violin-making competitions. The standards for competition violins, especially regarding craftsmanship, are extremely strict. “There are more than 100 processes in the violin craftsmanship and each must be done with great care,” he said. “Violin making involves many crucial processes that determine the instrument’s sound and quality, such as crafting the top and back plates.” To ensure the violin achieves a balanced tone, Yan designed the top and back plates with 68 points on each. “I measure the thickness of each point with a micrometer,” he said. “Excellent violin makers need to adhere to craftsmanship standards strictly and undergo repeated adjustments to achieve the instrument’s desired sound state.” By following the paths of our predecessors, he aimed to create a more classic, better and perfect instrument. 24．What can we learn about Yan Xiaoyang’s achievement? A．He pioneered Ningxia’s first international craftsman award. B．He was the oldest participant in the competition held in Indiana. C．His skills attracted 450 participants from more than 40 countries to Ningxia. D．His award is Ningxia’s top honor in international violin-making competitions. 25．What inspired Yan Xiaoyang to make his own violin? A．His early interest in woodworking. B．Limited access to the violin bought by his father. C．His desire to achieve perfection in instrument making. D．Guidance from international violin master Zheng Quan. 26．Why did Yan design the top and back plates with 68 points on each? A．To reduce the time required for violin production. B．To follow the standard set by violin-making masters. C．To ensure a balanced tone through plate thickness control. D．To demonstrate his unique use of micrometers in violin making. 27．What does the author intend to tell us? A．True craftsmen set the trend for artists. B．True craftsmen lead to new inventions. C．Great craftsmanship blooms from talent and patience. D．Great craftsmanship lies in devotion and perseverance. C Our planet has just seen its hottest month on record, with many places on fire or flooded. The likelihood of extreme weather keeps increasing—and people are noticing. However, not everyone notices or feels this threat to the same extent. Based on a representative sample of 1,071 survey respondents from across the UK, we found that people in rural areas showed higher degrees of place attachment than people living in cities, as we expected. However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in most rural locations was lower. We had not expected that outcome, so we started to dig a little deeper for possible reasons. Rural people may be more resilient to change. Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature. This may have taught them to be more flexible in how they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lot and that could make them less worried about the major changes happening around them. People in rural areas may not be as aware of climate change as people in cities. Looking more closely, the effect is mostly down to education rather than whether people live in rural areas or not. Research shows that general levels of climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this does not necessarily correspond to readiness for action or behavioural change. It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate. People in rural areas may not experience climate change in the same way as people in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels of green space than urban areas. For example, you will feel the heat less when you are surrounded by trees. So, although we were surprised that the higher degree of place attachment in people living rurally did not necessarily lead to a higher perception of climate change threat, we can see there are good reasons for that. 28．What does the word “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Easy to adapt. B．Ready to illustrate. C．Difficult to notice. D．Willing to challenge. 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Conservative views in rural areas lower the perception of climate change. B．Strong rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness. C．Well-educated people are more likely to take actions for climate change. D．Rural people pay more attention to climate change than city residents. 30．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Who are to blame for climate change? B．How do people perceive climate change? C．Why is climate change perceived differently? D．What can people do to cope with climate change? D Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky. The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.” The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — the tiny pieces produced by wearing vehicle tires float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste. Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited, these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice. However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems. How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation. Despite these uncertainties, the study sends a clear message: plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem. It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale — one that, as Brahney put it, “We’re only beginning to understand.” 31．What is the primary contribution of the Utah State University study? A．Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution. B．Comparing microplastic levels in different environments. C．Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics. D．Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics. 32．What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Concentrated. B．Trapped. C．Released. D．Dropped. 33．Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research? A．Its migration routes. B．Its monitoring methods. C．Its diverse sources. D．Its environmental impacts. 34．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Warning: The Threat of Microplastics B．Road Traffic: An Unexpected Source of Pollution C．A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky D．Microplastic Particles: A Problem of Various Origins 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” 35 In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 36 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word coming out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.” 37 So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 38 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle shift in language is far more than just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset, shifting your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to take what you say seriously. 39 Stop using your voice to curse (诅咒) the promising life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree! A．When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. B．You are putting huge pressure on your friends around you. C．Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement. D．Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality. E．Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. F．You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself. G．Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Nowadays, most teenagers get much of their information from social‑media platforms. In the past, many parents and teachers usually focused on the bad influence social media might bring. They worried that teenagers would spend too much time online and ignore their schoolwork. Last year, I used to accept every piece of information I saw online without checking its source when I was in Senior Two. I often shared hot posts on my WeChat moments quickly. One day, I spread a piece of false news about a local activity. Soon my teacher told me the news was not real and explained the harm of spreading untrue information online. That experience taught me a valuable lesson. Later, my media‑literacy teacher Ms. Wang helped me a lot. She did not only give me advice on how to tell true information from fake news, but also taught me how to use social‑media tools to collect learning materials. Gradually, I changed my habits online. I have learned to think twice before sharing anything on the Internet. From my experience, I realize that social‑media is neither good nor bad in itself. It is our choices that decide whether it will benefit us or cause trouble. We should make good use of online resources and become wise media users. 40．What did many parents and teachers usually focus on?                             41．What mistake did the author make when he was in Senior Two?                              42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, and then underline it and explain why. As a media-literacy teacher, Ms. Wang not only gave me advice on how to tell true information from fake news, but also taught me lots of skills to make popular online posts.                               43．Who or what has influenced you most when you use social‑media? Please Explain.

D．Great craftsmanship lies in devotion and perseverance. 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．C 27．D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。介绍了来自宁夏的闫晓阳在国际小提琴制作比赛中获工艺奖，为宁夏最高荣誉，其制琴注重细节与反复调整，彰显专注与坚持。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“During the 50th Annual Violin Society of America Convention and the 25th International Violin Making Competition held in Indiana, US, from Nov 17 to 22, 2024, Yan Xiaoyang won the award of Artisanship, marking the highest honor achieved by Ningxia in such international events.(2024年11月17日至22日，在美国印第安纳州举行的第50届美国小提琴学会年会和第25届国际小提琴制作比赛中，闫晓阳获得了工艺奖，这是宁夏在此类国际赛事中获得的最高荣誉。)”可知，他的奖项是宁夏在国际小提琴制作比赛中的最高荣誉。故选D项。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段“My four brothers and I were all fond of it, but it was difficult for me to get a turn, which sparked my interest in making my own violin,(我和四个兄弟都很喜欢这把琴，但我很难轮到，这激发了我自己制作小提琴的兴趣，)”可知，对父亲买的小提琴使用机会有限，促使他自己制琴。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To ensure the violin achieves a balanced tone, Yan designed the top and back plates with 68 points on each.(为了确保小提琴达到平衡的音色，闫晓阳在顶板和背板上各设计了68个点。)”可知，设计68个点是为通过控制板材厚度保证音色平衡。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文中描述闫晓阳从14岁因兴趣制琴，历经多年，在名师指导下严格遵循100多道工序，反复调整、每一道工序都必须非常小心，最终获奖。这体现了工匠精神在于专注与坚持。故选D项。 C Our planet has just seen its hottest month on record, with many places on fire or flooded. The likelihood of extreme weather keeps increasing—and people are noticing. However, not everyone notices or feels this threat to the same extent. Based on a representative sample of 1,071 survey respondents from across the UK, we found that people in rural areas showed higher degrees of place attachment than people living in cities, as we expected. However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in most rural locations was lower. We had not expected that outcome, so we started to dig a little deeper for possible reasons. Rural people may be more resilient to change. Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature. This may have taught them to be more flexible in how they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lot and that could make them less worried about the major changes happening around them. People in rural areas may not be as aware of climate change as people in cities. Looking more closely, the effect is mostly down to education rather than whether people live in rural areas or not. Research shows that general levels of climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this does not necessarily correspond to readiness for action or behavioural change. It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate. People in rural areas may not experience climate change in the same way as people in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels of green space than urban areas. For example, you will feel the heat less when you are surrounded by trees. So, although we were surprised that the higher degree of place attachment in people living rurally did not necessarily lead to a higher perception of climate change threat, we can see there are good reasons for that. 28．What does the word “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Easy to adapt. B．Ready to illustrate. C．Difficult to notice. D．Willing to challenge. 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Conservative views in rural areas lower the perception of climate change. B．Strong rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness. C．Well-educated people are more likely to take actions for climate change. D．Rural people pay more attention to climate change than city residents. 30．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Who are to blame for climate change? B．How do people perceive climate change? C．Why is climate change perceived differently? D．What can people do to cope with climate change? 【答案】28．A 29．A 30．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了农村地区的人们相比于城市居民来说对气候变化的感知度较低，并分析了其中的原因。 28．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Rural people may experience climate change like everyone else, but they may have better ways of coping with it than city residents because of their closer relationship with nature.(农村人可能会像其他人一样经历气候变化，但他们可能比城市居民有更好的应对方式，因为他们与自然的关系更密切。)”可知，农村人可能更能适应气候变化，所以推断划线词的意思是“容易适应”。故选A项。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It is well documented, though, that rural inhabitants tend to have more conservative views, which could affect the way climate change is interpreted. Conservative views are often associated with less concern about the climate.(然而，有充分的证据表明，农村居民往往有更保守的观点，这可能会影响对气候变化的解释。保守的观点往往与不太关心气候联系在一起。)”可推知，农村地区的保守观点降低了人们对气候变化的感知度。故选A项。 30．主旨大意题。分析全文内容，结合第二段中“However, we were surprised to see that the perceived threat of climate change in: most rural locations was lower.(然而，我们惊讶地发现，大多数农村地区对气候变化威胁的感知程度较低)”可知，文章主要介绍了农村地区的人们相比于城市居民来说对气候变化的感知度较低，并分析了其中的原因，所以C选项“为什么人们对气候变化的看法不同？”适合用作文章标题。故选C项。 D Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky. The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.” The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — the tiny pieces produced by wearing vehicle tires float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste. Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited, these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice. However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems. How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation. Despite these uncertainties, the study sends a clear message: plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem. It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale — one that, as Brahney put it, “We’re only beginning to understand.” 31．What is the primary contribution of the Utah State University study? A．Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution. B．Comparing microplastic levels in different environments. C．Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics. D．Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics. 32．What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Concentrated. B．Trapped. C．Released. D．Dropped. 33．Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research? A．Its migration routes. B．Its monitoring methods. C．Its diverse sources. D．Its environmental impacts. 34．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Warning: The Threat of Microplastics B．Road Traffic: An Unexpected Source of Pollution C．A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky D．Microplastic Particles: A Problem of Various Origins 【答案】31．C 32．D 33．A 34．C 【导语】本文主要讲的是科学家首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着约600千万亿个微塑料颗粒，这一数字远超预期。 【详解】31．细节理解题。文章开头明确说“Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere.(科学家们首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着多少微塑料颗粒。)”，第二段Brahney也说“But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.(但大气一直是一个巨大的盲区。现在我们有了一个数字，而且它远远超出了我们的预期。)”可知，研究的首要贡献是首次给出大气中微塑料的全球估算数值（600千万亿）。 32．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface.(这些颗粒会污染土壤和水源，并进入食物链。事实上，每天都有数百万个塑料瓶大小的微塑料颗粒落在地球表面。)”可知，这些颗粒要从空中下降后才会污染土壤和水源，deposited的意思是“沉降”，和Dropped意思相近。 33．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation.(这些颗粒在空气中停留多长时间、最终落在哪里，也需要进一步研究。)”可知，未来的研究可能会将重点放在大气微塑料的迁移路径。 34．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky.(科学家们首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着多少微塑料颗粒。这个数字几乎难以想象：600千万亿——即6后面跟着17个零，足以制造超过15亿个塑料水瓶，大约相当于地球上每个人300个。而这一切都漂浮在天空中。)”可知，本文主要讲的是科学家首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着约600千万亿个微塑料颗粒，这一数字远超预期，因此最好的题目是C选项“A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky(隐忧重重：天空中存在 600 万亿个微塑料颗粒)”。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” 35 In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 36 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word coming out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.” 37 So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 38 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle shift in language is far more than just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset, shifting your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to take what you say seriously. 39 Stop using your voice to curse (诅咒) the promising life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree! A．When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. B．You are putting huge pressure on your friends around you. C．Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement. D．Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality. E．Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. F．You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself. G．Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less. 【答案】35．F 36．G 37．E 38．C 39．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了消极语言会潜移默化塑造现实，应替换为积极表达，以重塑思维，从被动受害者转为主动创造者。 【详解】35．上文“Pay close attention to how you describe your daily life. I am not referring to your formal presentations; rather, I mean those casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.”（密切关注你如何描述日常生活。我不是指你的正式演讲；而是指那些随意的、随口而出的抱怨。“我的运气简直糟透了。”“我再也应付不了这个了。”)”列举了日常生活中常见的消极抱怨。空后“In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path.(事实上，你是在给自己的人生道路施加黑暗的咒语)”揭示了这种抱怨的本质危害。空处承上启下，指出人们对这种抱怨行为的错误认知。选项F“You might assume you are merely complaining to your friends or to yourself.(你可能以为你只是在对朋友或对自己抱怨)”承接上文的具体抱怨行为，并引出下文对其真实危害的揭露，符合语境。 36．上文“You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment.(你认为表现得像个悲观的失败者能保护你免受失望的伤害)”阐述了人们持有消极态度的错误动机。空后“And your brain does not understand self-deprecating(自嘲), nor can it tell when you are simply joking.(而且你的大脑无法理解自嘲，也无法分辨你何时只是在开玩笑)”解释了大脑处理语言的机械性。空处位于段中，需起到转折作用，否定前文的错误假设。选项G“Nevertheless, negative language patterns fail to make the suffering hurt less.(然而，消极的语言模式并不能减轻痛苦)”直接反驳了前文“保护你免受失望”的错误观点，并与后文大脑无法分辨真假的科学解释相衔接，符合语境。 37．上文“You are repeatedly complaining “I am completely stuck.”(你反复抱怨“我完全被困住了”)”描述了消极的自我暗示。空后“So it stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.(所以它停止寻找出口，因为你已经宣布没有出口了)”描述了大脑的顺从反应。空处位于段中，需建立“抱怨”与“大脑停止工作”之间的因果逻辑。选项E“Accordingly, your brain shuts down its creative problem-solving centers.(相应地，你的大脑关闭了其创造性解决问题的中心)”中的“Accordingly”表明这是对前文抱怨行为的直接后果描述，完美衔接后文大脑停止寻找解决方案的行为，符合语境。 38．空后“Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?”(他们会说“我正在高负荷运转”，而不是“我快被压力压垮了”。他们用“这想教会我什么？”来代替“为什么这发生在我身上？”)”列举了成功人士积极语言的例子。空处位于段首，是本段的主题句。选项C“Many brilliant people live by a value system of self-encouragement.(许多杰出人士奉行自我鼓励的价值体系)”概括了本段的核心内容，统领后文关于积极语言的具体例证，符合语境。 39．上文“It is time to take what you say seriously.(是时候认真对待你所说的话了)”发出了改变的号召。空后“Stop using your voice to curse(诅咒)the promising life you are trying to build.(停止用你的声音诅咒你正努力建设的美好人生)”强调了语言的力量。空处位于段中，需进一步阐释语言与现实的关系。选项D“Your words function as the invisible architecture shaping your reality.(你的言语就像是塑造你现实的隐形架构)”深刻总结了全文主旨，解释了为何要认真对待语言，并与后文“诅咒人生”的表述形成鲜明对比，符合语境。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Nowadays, most teenagers get much of their information from social‑media platforms. In the past, many parents and teachers usually focused on the bad influence social media might bring. They worried that teenagers would spend too much time online and ignore their schoolwork. Last year, I used to accept every piece of information I saw online without checking its source when I was in Senior Two. I often shared hot posts on my WeChat moments quickly. One day, I spread a piece of false news about a local activity. Soon my teacher told me the news was not real and explained the harm of spreading untrue information online. That experience taught me a valuable lesson. Later, my media‑literacy teacher Ms. Wang helped me a lot. She did not only give me advice on how to tell true information from fake news, but also taught me how to use social‑media tools to collect learning materials. Gradually, I changed my habits online. I have learned to think twice before sharing anything on the Internet. From my experience, I realize that social‑media is neither good nor bad in itself. It is our choices that decide whether it will benefit us or cause trouble. We should make good use of online resources and become wise media users. 40．What did many parents and teachers usually focus on?                             41．What mistake did the author make when he was in Senior Two?                              42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, and then underline it and explain why. As a media-literacy teacher, Ms. Wang not only gave me advice on how to tell true information from fake news, but also taught me lots of skills to make popular online posts.                               43．Who or what has influenced you most when you use social‑media? Please Explain. (In about 40 words)                              参考答案与解析 40. The bad influence social media might bring (to teenagers). 解析：直接定位第一段 “In the past, many parents and teachers usually focused on the bad influence social media might bring.” 41. He accepted online information without checking its source and spread a piece of false news. 解析：细节概括。作者高二时不加核实就转发信息，传播了一条虚假新闻。 42. The false part: taught me lots of skills to make popular online posts.
