B In a crowded gallery in the 1940s,a student of traditional Chinese painting,Duan Wenjie, gazed at the vivid Mogao murals()and felt an immediate urge to visit Dunhuang."I was like a hungry ox breaking into a vegetable garden,"he recalled,"and enjoying a spiritual feast."From that moment on,thoughts of the murals'filled Duan's mind.His initial idea of a brief visit had transformed into a lifelong mission. Duan's work began in the caves,where he painted copies of the murals.Due to the severe damage done to some of the murals,this was at times an almost impossible task.Determined, Duan labored through hundreds of reference sources,making numerous notes on how to best reproduce the all-but-invisible images.Sometimes,years of painstaking work yielded only one single copy.Starting in 1946,he copied nearly 400 ancient murals mostly by himself,covering an area of about 150 square metres. Despite such remarkable achievements in restoration work,the situation was far less encouraging when it came to academic research.For a long time,Dunhuang studies were largely carried out in other countries,such as Japan,France and Russia.This was the direct consequence of a tragic history.Starting in the early 1900s,foreign explorers smuggled (thousands of ancient manuscripts and relics out of the Mogao Grottoes.As a result,those irreplaceable materials became scattered across the globe.Renowned Chinese historian Chen Yinque once referred to Dunhuang studies as an example of'our sad academic history". In 1982,Duan Wenjie became Dunhuang Academy's second director and spared no effort to change this situation.Dunhuang studies quickly expanded in range,and Duan led his colleagues in publishing Dunhuang Research,the first Chinese academic journal of Dunhuang studies."Dunhuang is the whole of my life,"he once said.Thanks to his decades of sustained efforts,the Mogao Grottoes were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1987. 24.What inspired Duan Wenjie to go to Dunhuang? A.An academic conference on cave art. B.A spiritual feast in a vegetable garden. C.His desire for a lifelong mission in Dunhuang. D.His strong fascination with a mural exhibition. 25.How did Duan address the challenge of copying the murals? A.By restoring the damaged images. B.By working with mural researchers C.By consulting extensive materials carefully. D.By producing several copies of the same mural. 26.Why did Chen see Dunhuang studies as a case of'our sad academic history"? A.Overseas studies caused thefts. B.The murals were gradually damaged. C.Chinese scholars showed little interest. D.Historical losses led to foreign dominance. 27.Which of the following best describes Duan Wenjie? A.Thorough and devoted. B.Independent and ambitious. C.Creative and practical. D.Curious and adventurous. C You open a free weather app.Seconds later,an ad for running shoes appears.Have you ever wondered how much the advertiser paid to reach you? When you visit a website or open an app,your personal information,including location, device type,and browsing habits,is packaged into an"ad request."This request is sent to an ad marketplace.Advertisers then bid(in real time for the chance to show you an ad.The highest bidder wins,and their ad appears on your screen.All of this happens in less than 100 milliseconds This brings us to an uncomfortable truth:if you are not paying for the product,you are the product.Instead of charging you money,advertisers collect your data and sell access to your attention.You are what is being traded. So what price do advertisers put on a person?To get reliable figures,researchers ran their own advertising campaigns.They analyzed one full year of mobile browsing data from 1,600 users.It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year.Most people cost advertisers less than 10 cents in total.But about 2%of users cost between one and ten dollars.Who are these valuable individuals?Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases,or specific interests are considered far more valuable. Some might say this system works for everyone:users get free content,advertisers find potential customers,and websites earn money.But privacy experts ask a harder question:How many of us truly understand what we are giving away?Each click,each search,each location update becomes'a data point.Together,these points create a detailed picture of who you are -sometimes more detailed than you would ever accept. The team later developed a browser tool to show users their true price.Their goal is simple: transparency(公开透明).After all,,if you are the product,.should you not know what you are worth? 28.How does an ad reach a user? A.The users choose ads themselves. B.Advertisers compete to display ads. C.Marketplaces sell the user's identity. D.Apps select one from browsing history 29.What can we learn about the research findings? A.Each ad costs about 2.5 cents. B.Purchase history is the top pricing factor. C.High-value users form a large group. D.Richer data increase users'advertising value. 30.Which of the following may privacy experts suggest? A.Stop using free online services. B.Share details for personalized ads. C.Weigh free content against data exposure. D.Compare prices across advertising marketplaces. 31.What is the author's attitude toward the system? A.Cautiously critical. B.Strongly opposed C.Largely neutral. D.Generally supportive. D Georgia's barrier islands feel almost untouched,with dense forests and wide salt marshes( stretching as far as the eye can see.To most visitors,they look perfectly natural.Yet a recent study suggests that these ecosystems are actually the product of thousands of years of human activity.The islands'earliest inhabitants,ancestors of today's Muskogee Creek Nation, lived off the sea and ate large quantities of oysters,leaving the shells behind.Over time,the shells piled into huge deposits.What began as simple food waste gradually became part of the landscape itself. How big a difference could discarded shells really make?To find out,researchers from Pennsylvania State University and the University of Georgia surveyed four barrier islands.They dug pits at regular intervals and measured the thickness of the shell deposits.The results were striking.Evidence of past human habitation,such as broken pottery and stone tools,was found across nearly two-thirds of the islands'land.In one section of Sapelo Island alone,researchers estimated that about 1.6 billion oyster shells had accumulated."Human action is interwoven into the landscape,"said Victor Thompson,one of the researchers. The team then examined whether the shells helped protect the islands from the sea.By comparing elevation data with water-level measurements,they found that without the extra height provided by the shells,large areas of coastline would be regularly covered by water during high tides,with storm surges causing even more severe flooding.The shells benefited the islands in another way as well.Rich in calcium carbonate,they enriched the soil and encouraged certain plants to grow.Centuries later,plantation owners deliberately settled on the same sites, recognizing the value of the fertile,shell-enriched earth. These findings may challenge the traditional idea of conservation,which often means keeping human influence out of nature.The study suggests that a landscape's "natural"state is not necessarily the state before humans arrived.Inspired by this idea,Shell to Shore,a nonprofit organization,now collects oyster shells from restaurants and returns them to the coast to strengthen areas at risk of storm surges.Rather than simply keeping people and nature apart,it may be wiser to find ways for the two to work together. 32.What do we know about the shell deposits on the barrier islands? A.They covered most of the islands. B.They formed the earliest human settlements. C.They resulted from sea level rise. D.They came from the earliest inhabitants'meals. 33.What does the underlined phrase "interwoven into the landscape"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Slowly destroying the landscape. B.Deeply connected with the landscape. C.Passively adapting to the landscape. D.Clearly separated from the landscape. 34.Why does the author mention Shell to Shore in the last paragraph? A.To promote the seafood business. B.To encourage people to collect shells. C.To illustrate human-nature cooperation D.To prove humans shouldn't disturb nature. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Oyster Shells Reveal a Lost Civilization B.Ancient Wisdom Reveals Cooperation's Power C.Rising Seas Threatened Georgia's Barrier Islands D.Ancient"Trash"Shaped Georgia's Barrier Islands 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Staying physically active in hot weather can be challenging.With this summer's heat intensified by a powerful El Nino,outdoor workouts and even daily routines like commuting on foot become more physically demanding and less comfortable.36.Yet this seemingly practical response may trigger hidden long-term health risks.Then how to stay active safely amid heatwaves?Here are evidence-based strategies from researchers. 37 _The most practical method is to arrange exercise during cooler periods, such as early mornings or evenings.Avoid mid-day hours when sunlight is the sharpest and heat stress reaches its peak.Besides,choosing shaded areas instead of open sunlit spaces can lower the surrounding temperature significantly.Parks with thick tree cover are much more desirable than bare open grounds for outdoor physical activity. Equally important is adjusting exercise duration and intensity on hot days.Sticking to your usual exercise routine in high heat will bring extra physical burden and thermal strain. 38 Or you can do light indoor exercise,or add more frequent breaks in cool, shaded spots with cold water available. Moreover,let your body adapt.Gradually increasing your exercise volume in hot conditions enables your body to get adjusted to high temperatures,a process known as heat adaptation.Typically,7 to 14 days of regular hot-weather exercise will produce a series of positive physiological changes.However,this adaptation is short-lived.39 40 As heatwaves grow more frequent,people need to adjust not only whether they exercise but also when,where and how they work out A.It is wiser to take shorter exercise sessions. B.Many people turn to indoor sports on hot summer days. C.Extra training can speed up the formation of heat adaptation D.Timing and environment choices matter greatly for hot-weather exercise. E.Faced with extreme heat,many people choose to reduce physical activity. F.Without regular heat exposure,those hard-won benefits will fade away gradually. G.Experts stress climate change should be considered when planning physical activity 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Years ago,I left a worn-out paperback novel in a neighborhood Little Free Library before moving out of state.That book had accompanied me through college,its pages were marked with my private 41 and light coffee stains.I never expected to 42 it again,and gradually it faded from my memory through the chaos of relocation and new routines Last spring,visiting my old neighborhood,I wandered toward the wooden box on the street corner out of simple 43 To my astonishment,that very book sat on the shelf.My heart 44 as I picked it up.A handwritten note was stuck inside its cover.A stranger had found the book,read it,and recognized my former name inside.45 keeping it or passing it along,he had chosen to place it back,hoping its original owner might someday 46 I stood on the sidewalk,absorbed in 47 emotions:surprise,grief over bygone days, and quiet admiration for a stranger's thoughtful gesture.I had regarded the book as 48 lost, yet an unknown person respected its personal value rather than treating it as ordinary 49.It struck me that small-scale kindness seldom gains public attention,yet it can 50 wounds that time has failed to heal.

Lysander loved to draw.He filled every piece of paper with horses,birds,and ships.I was the practical one,buried in physics and chemistry problems,hoping for a scholarship that would iift us out of poverty. When Lysander turned fifteen,he set his heart on the city's finest art school,which admitted only twenty students each year.The application required a portfolio()of twelve original pieces.But producing twelve masterpieces wasn't easy.He needed to practice endlessly- drawing the same hand a hundred times,shading the same apple until it looked real enough to bite.And practive consumed materials:professional charcoal sticks,fine brushes,thick paper and high-quality paint.Each item cost more than our weekly grocery budget.Our parents could never afford such luxuries. Still,Lysander got up early every morning to draw before school.I watched him draw the same horse's leg many times and then throw the paper away in anger.Once,I found him crying over a ruined drawing."Tm wasting everything,"he said."Every sheet I ruin,every brush I use up-it's money we don't have.I will never be good enough."I felt so sad for him.I knew he had real talent.But talent was not enough without practice,and practice needed money. That night,I made a decision that our parents knew.The next day after school,I took a part-time job at a local grocery store.I worked from six in the evening until nine at night,and then I hurried home to do my homework.I did this three times a week.Then,one day,when I had enough,I bought the best art supplies and put them on Lysander's desk. 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 lied to Lysander,"I bought them for you with my pocket money." Weeks later,upon receiving the art school's envelope,Lysander learned the truth from Father. 6
