As a pioneer of big-mountain snowboarding, Jeremy Jones once relied on helicopters to access remote backcountry runs. However, he soon began to question the environmental impact of this practice. He switched to hiking up mountains and found the experience more fulfilling. He believes that by removing machines, the snowboard becomes a more effective tool for connecting with nature and challenging oneself.
This shift in approach led Jones to adopt splitboarding — using equipment that functions as skis for climbing and combines into a snowboard for the downhill ride. He eventually started his own company to produce gear (装备) for this purpose, committing to using the cleanest materials and donating a part of sales to environmental causes. Finding no organizations within the snow sports community focused on climate solutions, he founded Protect Our Winters (POW) in 2007. The organization works to raise awareness about how climate change threatens the mountains and winter sports enjoyed by so many people.
POW unites professional athletes, including champion skier Jessie Diggins and well-known climber Tommy Caldwell. They represent a large and diverse community of people who deeply value spending time outdoors. The group engages its community through film events and voter participation drives, often featuring climate scientists. However, its most significant work involves meetings with lawmakers, where the athletes’ fame helps draw attention to the economic importance of winter sports. They consistently emphasize that protecting the environment also supports local employment and outdoor-related businesses.
Research indicates that the winter season at U.S. ski resorts (度假村) has shortened due to climate change, significantly impacting mountain towns. This change results in fewer visitors to these areas, leading to reduced earnings for local businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and equipment rental shops. At the same time, many snow sports enthusiasts who would have skied at resorts have turned to backcountry areas instead, making these remote spots grow more crowded and conditions sometimes more dangerous.
4. What does the underlined word “fulfilling” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Dangerous. B. Meaningful. C. Disappointing. D. Time-saving.
5. What is the primary task of POW?
A. Encouraging use of vehicles on mountains. B. Organizing winter sports events.
C. Selling helicopters for backcountry trips. D. Advocating for environmental protection.
6. What is Tommy Caldwell’s attitude towards Jeremy Jones’ initiatives?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
7. The situation of the mountain towns’ shortened winter season is mentioned to stress ________.
A. the popularity of backcountry areas B. the effectiveness of POW’s initiatives
C. the economic impact of climate change D. the danger of backcountry snowboarding
C
As night falls in the rainforest, orangutans (猩猩) climb high into the treetops to build tree nests (巢). These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning.
Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task.
Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age, but night nest construction begins around age three and is not fully mastered until they are about eight years old. More advanced skills, such as building across multiple trees or adding comfort features, develop even later.
A key finding is that young orangutans learn primarily by closely watching their mothers build nests. Those who paid close attention were more likely to attempt practice soon afterward. Simply being near the mother without active observation did not have the same effect. This highlights the role of focused attention in social learning.
Additionally, young orangutans pay special attention to complex aspects of construction, such as multi-tree supports and comfort elements. After observing these challenging steps, they practice them more frequently. As they grow older, they also observe other members of the group, broadening their learning sources.
Material selection is also socially learned. Young orangutans tend to use the same tree species as their mothers. As they grow older, they experiment with other materials, but adults often return to the tree species their mothers used.
This study highlights that nest-building traditions are culturally passed down across generations. The loss of orangutan populations or their habitats could therefore mean the disappearance of unique cultural knowledge. This research not only shows the intelligence and cultural richness of orangutans, but also emphasizes the importance of their conservation.
8. Which word can best describe the process of young orangutans learning nest-building?
A. Gradual. B. Painful. C. Inefficient. D. Independent.
9. How do young orangutans mainly learn to build nests?
A. By trial and error. B. By observing their mothers.
C. Through natural behavior. D. From other young orangutans.
10. What do young orangutans focus especially on when learning nest-building?
A. Quick nest-building skills. B. Complex construction aspects.
C. Simple day nest structures. D. Rare tree species for materials.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Habits of orangutans. B. The necessity of learning.
C. Ways to protect orangutans. D. The significance of the study.
D
A quiet revolution (变革) is unfolding around us. Artificial intelligence (AI), once a science fantasy, is now reshaping our daily lives. From voice assistants and movie recommendations to medical diagnosis and self-driving vehicles, AI is everywhere. It represents a new age of thinking machines that learn, adapt, and make decisions.
The heart of modern AI is machine learning, which allows computers to learn from data rather than follow fixed instructions. Using neural networks inspired by the human brain, AI systems recognize patterns and improve over time. This technology enables impressive achievements such as language translation, image recognition, and even creative tasks like composing music or generating art.
AI integrates smoothly into everyday life. It powers Internet search engines, social media recommendations, GPS services, and smart home devices. In healthcare, it assists in analyzing medical images, predicting diseases, and developing personalized treatments. AI also helps find cheating in finance, upgrade delivery, and improve agricultural productivity through smart farming techniques.
However, its growing influence brings both opportunities and challenges. In the workplace, AI performs repetitive tasks on its own but also creates new roles in technology and data analytics. It raises important concerns such as data privacy and the risk of misuse in monitoring systems. Ensuring that AI is fair, accountable and matches human values remains a critical task for researchers and policymakers.
Looking ahead, AI holds great promise for solving complex problems in science, climate research, and education. It could speed up medical discoveries, help address environmental issues, and provide personalized learning experiences for students. However, its development must be guided by responsibility and global cooperation to ensure all of humanity can benefit.
In conclusion, AI is not just a technological advancement — it is reshaping how we live, work, and understand the world. With careful management, it can become a valuable partner that boosts human capability and helps build a fairer and promising future for everyone.
12. How is the third paragraph developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By providing data.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By defining a concept.
13. What effect does AI have in the workplace according to the text?
A. It reduces new positions. B. It increases work difficulty.
C. It takes over repetitive tasks. D. It replaces data analysts.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. AI will quickly solve environmental problems.
B. AI will cure most diseases with medical research.
C. Personalized learning reduces classroom interaction.
D. The proper development of AI requires united efforts.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why AI needs human values. B. The daily applications of AI.
C. How AI is changing our world. D. The challenges of governing AI.

Enjoying Your Theme Park Adventure
A trip to a theme park promises excitement, but a little planning can make the experience even better.
Start by researching the park before you go. Check its official website or app for maps, ride descriptions and show schedules. Many parks, like Disneyland or Universal Studios, offer real-time updates on wait times, helping you strategize your day. ____16____. Buying tickets online in advance often saves both time and money, and some parks even allow you to reserve access to popular attractions before arrival.
Arriving early is another smart move. Gates often open before the official start time, and being among the first inside means shorter lines for major rides. ____17____.
Consider using skip-the-line options if available. Many parks offer paid fast-track systems, such as Universal’s Express Pass or Disney’s Genie⁺, which let you bypass long waits for key rides. While these cost extra, they can be worth it if you want to fit more into your visit. ____18____. Lines for food can be just as long as those for rides, so try having lunch before noon or having an early dinner.
Don’t forget to take care of yourself. Theme parks involve a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and take breaks when needed. ____19____— catch a show, explore air-conditioned shops, or simply relax in a shaded area.
Finally, end your day on a high note. Many parks host impressive nighttime events, like fireworks or light parades. ____20____.
A. Midday heat offers a perfect chance to rest indoors
B. Head straight to popular rides first to beat the crowds
C. Another strategy is adjusting meal times to avoid queues
D. Watching a show during mealtime refreshes your energy
E. Find a viewing spot early since these events attract masses
F. This preparation step is key to avoiding crowds and delays
G. Buying sunscreen at the park entrance is also recommended

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Judy, can you stay after class to finish decorating the prom (舞会) poster? I promised the teacher it’d be done today, but I have a piano lesson.” Clara, the prom committee leader, rested against my desk as if her request was not up for discussion. The poster — covered in half-painted sunflowers — sat open on her desk, and I could tell she’d only started it that morning. I stared at my notebook, where I’d written down “study for physics test” in red ink, with little stars around the equations I still couldn’t make sense of.
At 16, I joined the prom committee because I loved brainstorming themes, rather than picking up last-minute extra work. Clara had backed out of the poster three times this month — once for a café date, once for a “sudden” shopping trip, and now for her piano lesson — and each “quick favor” had kept me at school until 6 pm.
“But I have to study for tomorrow’s test,” I said, my voice quieter than I wanted. “Physics is already hard for me — I failed the last practice test, and my mom will help me have a review tonight.”
Clara rolled her eyes, opening the poster wider to show the blank corner where the date needed to be filled in. “It’ll only take an hour! The test can wait — this poster is for the whole grade, not just you,” she said.
My friend Maya, who was packing her bag nearby, shot me a look and mouthed “don’t do it.” I knew if I said yes, I’d miss the review with my mom, stay up until midnight studying hard, and still probably confuse Newton’s laws during the test.
I thought of my older brother, who’d once missed his driver’s test to help his friend move furniture. He’d had to wait three months to retake it, and by then, he’d lost his part-time job at the auto shop because he couldn’t drive. I sat with him that night as he ate cold pizza and said, “I just didn’t want to let my friend down,” and I’d told myself I’d never let someone else’s poor planning mess up my own goals.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I closed my notebook and stood up firmly this time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Clara found me at lunch, her face pink with embarrassment.

As a pioneer of big-mountain snowboarding, Jeremy Jones once relied on helicopters to access remote backcountry runs. However, he soon began to question the environmental impact of this practice. He switched to hiking up mountains and found the experience more fulfilling. He believes that by removing machines, the snowboard becomes a more effective tool for connecting with nature and challenging oneself.
This shift in approach led Jones to adopt splitboarding — using equipment that functions as skis for climbing and combines into a snowboard for the downhill ride. He eventually started his own company to produce gear (装备) for this purpose, committing to using the cleanest materials and donating a part of sales to environmental causes. Finding no organizations within the snow sports community focused on climate solutions, he founded Protect Our Winters (POW) in 2007. The organization works to raise awareness about how climate change threatens the mountains and winter sports enjoyed by so many people.
POW unites professional athletes, including champion skier Jessie Diggins and well-known climber Tommy Caldwell. They represent a large and diverse community of people who deeply value spending time outdoors. The group engages its community through film events and voter participation drives, often featuring climate scientists. However, its most significant work involves meetings with lawmakers, where the athletes’ fame helps draw attention to the economic importance of winter sports. They consistently emphasize that protecting the environment also supports local employment and outdoor-related businesses.
Research indicates that the winter season at U.S. ski resorts (度假村) has shortened due to climate change, significantly impacting mountain towns. This change results in fewer visitors to these areas, leading to reduced earnings for local businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and equipment rental shops. At the same time, many snow sports enthusiasts who would have skied at resorts have turned to backcountry areas instead, making these remote spots grow more crowded and conditions sometimes more dangerous.
4. What does the underlined word “fulfilling” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Dangerous. B. Meaningful. C. Disappointing. D. Time-saving.
5. What is the primary task of POW?
A. Encouraging use of vehicles on mountains. B. Organizing winter sports events.
C. Selling helicopters for backcountry trips. D. Advocating for environmental protection.
6. What is Tommy Caldwell’s attitude towards Jeremy Jones’ initiatives?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
7. The situation of the mountain towns’ shortened winter season is mentioned to stress ________.
A. the popularity of backcountry areas B. the effectiveness of POW’s initiatives
C. the economic impact of climate change D. the danger of backcountry snowboarding
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C

As night falls in the rainforest, orangutans (猩猩) climb high into the treetops to build tree nests (巢). These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning.
Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task.
Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age, but night nest construction begins around age three and is not fully mastered until they are about eight years old. More advanced skills, such as building across multiple trees or adding comfort features, develop even later.
A key finding is that young orangutans learn primarily by closely watching their mothers build nests. Those who paid close attention were more likely to attempt practice soon afterward. Simply being near the mother without active observation did not have the same effect. This highlights the role of focused attention in social learning.
Additionally, young orangutans pay special attention to complex aspects of construction, such as multi-tree supports and comfort elements. After observing these challenging steps, they practice them more frequently. As they grow older, they also observe other members of the group, broadening their learning sources.
Material selection is also socially learned. Young orangutans tend to use the same tree species as their mothers. As they grow older, they experiment with other materials, but adults often return to the tree species their mothers used.
This study highlights that nest-building traditions are culturally passed down across generations. The loss of orangutan populations or their habitats could therefore mean the disappearance of unique cultural knowledge. This research not only shows the intelligence and cultural richness of orangutans, but also emphasizes the importance of their conservation.
8. Which word can best describe the process of young orangutans learning nest-building?
A. Gradual. B. Painful. C. Inefficient. D. Independent.
9. How do young orangutans mainly learn to build nests?
A. By trial and error. B. By observing their mothers.
C. Through natural behavior. D. From other young orangutans.
10. What do young orangutans focus especially on when learning nest-building?
A. Quick nest-building skills. B. Complex construction aspects.
C. Simple day nest structures. D. Rare tree species for materials.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Habits of orangutans. B. The necessity of learning.
C. Ways to protect orangutans. D. The significance of the study.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了8月28日的第二届中澳对话展览在悉尼中国文化中心开幕,展示了中澳艺术家40幅作品,中澳双方人士强调了艺术在促进两国交流合作及友谊方面的独特作用。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:第二届中澳对话展览“来自中国的明信片:艺术之旅”于8月28日在悉尼中国文化中心开幕,吸引了来自两国文化、艺术和媒体界约110名与会者。句子谓语为opened,空处应用非谓语形式;逻辑主语The second China-Australia Dialogue Exhibition与title之间是动宾关系,因此要用过去分词titled作后置定语。故填titled。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:第二届中澳对话展览“来自中国的明信片:艺术之旅”于8月28日在悉尼中国文化中心开幕,吸引了来自两国文化、艺术和媒体界约110名与会者。cultural、artistic和media是并列关系,共同修饰空后的circles,因此应用并列连词and来连接,表示“来自两国文化、艺术和媒体领域的人”。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:开幕式上,一段精彩的古筝独奏《高山流水》表演拉开了序幕,该曲是中国十大古曲之一。随后,演奏了欧仁·伊萨伊的《第二小提琴奏鸣曲,作品27号》。空处需要一个形容词作定语来修饰空后的名词performance。wonder的形容词是wonderful“精彩的”。故填wonderful。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:开幕式上,一段精彩的古筝独奏《高山流水》表演拉开了序幕,该曲是中国十大古曲之一。随后,演奏了欧仁·伊萨伊的《第二小提琴奏鸣曲,作品27号》。“one of+复数名词”表示“……之一”,是固定搭配。piece在这里表示“作品”,是可数名词,“one of China’s ten great ancient pieces”意思是“中国十大古代名曲之一”,因此需用复数形式。故填pieces。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:该展览由该中心、澳大利亚水彩画学院和广西艺术大学联合举办,展出了10位中国和澳大利亚艺术家的40幅作品,这些作品探讨了文化融合与交流的主题。Co-organized表被动,因此用介词by引出施动者。故填by。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国驻悉尼总领事馆文化参赞王书雨强调了艺术在跨越国界、构建两国友谊方面的独特力量。空处与crossing borders是并列关系,共同作介词in的宾语,故此处应填build动名词形式building。故填building。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:“这些创作不仅仅是纸上的画作;它们就像明信片一样,承载着两国之间的故事、梦想和希望,”她说道。空处需用副词来修饰表语paintings on paper,mere的副词为merely“仅仅,只不过”。故填merely。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:澳大利亚水彩画协会主席戴维·范·努南强调了此次展览在展示澳大利亚艺术家访华成果方面的作用,此次访华从去年8月持续到今年7月。根据“lasted”可知,句子描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。空处的谓语动词需用stress的过去式stressed“强调”。故填stressed。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:澳大利亚水彩画协会主席戴维·范·努南强调了此次展览在展示澳大利亚艺术家访华成果方面的作用,此次访华从去年8月持续到今年7月。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,用来修饰先行词a visit to China by Australian artists,先行词是物,在从句中作主语,因此关系代词需用which。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他表示:“我们致力于推动跨文化交流,也期待与中国开展更深度的合作——这不仅是为艺术创作开拓更多空间,更是为了搭建两国艺术家之间更紧密的情感联结。”句子谓语为are devoted to和look forward to,此处表目的,需用动词不定式to open作目的状语。故填to open。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Judy, can you stay after class to finish decorating the prom (舞会) poster? I promised the teacher it’d be done today, but I have a piano lesson.” Clara, the prom committee leader, rested against my desk as if her request was not up for discussion. The poster — covered in half-painted sunflowers — sat open on her desk, and I could tell she’d only started it that morning. I stared at my notebook, where I’d written down “study for physics test” in red ink, with little stars around the equations I still couldn’t make sense of.
At 16, I joined the prom committee because I loved brainstorming themes, rather than picking up last-minute extra work. Clara had backed out of the poster three times this month — once for a café date, once for a “sudden” shopping trip, and now for her piano lesson — and each “quick favor” had kept me at school until 6 pm.
“But I have to study for tomorrow’s test,” I said, my voice quieter than I wanted. “Physics is already hard for me — I failed the last practice test, and my mom will help me have a review tonight.”
Clara rolled her eyes, opening the poster wider to show the blank corner where the date needed to be filled in. “It’ll only take an hour! The test can wait — this poster is for the whole grade, not just you,” she said.
My friend Maya, who was packing her bag nearby, shot me a look and mouthed “don’t do it.” I knew if I said yes, I’d miss the review with my mom, stay up until midnight studying hard, and still probably confuse Newton’s laws during the test.
I thought of my older brother, who’d once missed his driver’s test to help his friend move furniture. He’d had to wait three months to retake it, and by then, he’d lost his part-time job at the auto shop because he couldn’t drive. I sat with him that night as he ate cold pizza and said, “I just didn’t want to let my friend down,” and I’d told myself I’d never let someone else’s poor planning mess up my own goals.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I closed my notebook and stood up firmly this time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Clara found me at lunch, her face pink with embarrassment.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I closed my notebook and stood up firmly this time. “I’m sorry, Clara, but I can’t stay,” I said. “I told you I need to study, and I can’t put my test off for this.” Clara’s shoulders slumped, and she stared at the half-finished poster as if realizing for the first time how much work remained. I grabbed my bag, pausing for a second, and said, “Next time, maybe start the poster earlier instead of asking others to fix it at the last minute.” Then, I walked out with Maya and felt much lighter than before.
The next day, Clara found me at lunch, her face pink with embarrassment. “About yesterday... thanks for being honest,” she said softly, and slid a carton of milk toward me. “I should’ve planned better instead of dumping it on you. I finished the poster last night — stayed up late, just like you would’ve had to.” I accepted the milk and smiled, “It’s okay. I just hope we can make better plans next time.” She nodded, looking relieved. For the first time in weeks, our conversation didn’t feel forced — it was just two friends chatting casually during lunch.
【解析】

①由第一段首句内容“我合上笔记本,这次坚定地站了起来。”可知,第一段可描写朱迪明确拒绝克拉拉的请求,说明自己需备考的情况,提醒克拉拉应提前规划,随后与玛雅一同离开,内心倍感轻松的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天午饭时,克拉拉找到了我,脸涨得通红,带着几分尴尬。”可知,第二段可描写克拉拉为昨日的行为道歉,承认自己规划不当,告知朱迪已自己熬夜完成海报,两人达成和解,友谊回归自然的情景。
