The shelter smelled like wet fur and disinfectant (消毒剂); and my job was cleaning cages - washing food from bowls and sticky floors. On my third Saturday, I noticed a golden retriever (寻回犬) named Max. His cage card said his owner had passed away, and he’d been at the shelter for three months. Unlike other dogs, Max covered in the corner, shaking at every noise. When I entered his doghouse, he flattened himself into a shaking pancake. “He’s sweet but scared of everything,” Ms. Torres, a shelter worker, told me. She showed me old injuries on his legs from when he’d tried to bite through the bars. I decided to spend my breaks with Max. At first, I just sat near his food bowl, reading aloud from a book. His breathing slowed to whispers. Soon, he let me touch his ears. When I dropped my keys, he stepped back but stayed. I brought him a tennis ball, and we played fetch outside. His tail wagged a little more each time. One rainy day, he licked (舔) my hand, and I felt like I was going to cry. Then, one morning, a family stopped at Max’s doghouse. The youngest girl called him a “golden cloud”. Max didn’t hide. He walked forward, tail wagging, and licked her fingers. As they filled out the adoption papers, I hid in the storage closet, hugging my knees. I heard their laughter, the jingle of Max’s new collar, and the sound of the door shutting. When I came out, Ms. Torres smiled. “You did good, kid,” she said. Max taught me that courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about taking small steps towards something bigger. Now, whenever I’m scared to try something new. I remember his wagging tail and the day he trusted the world again. 4. Why did the author’s parents make her volunteer at the animal shelter? A. To meet a requirement for her school course. B. To expose her to more job opportunities. C. To encourage her to adopt a pet. D. To correct her misbehaviour. 5. How did the author feel towards Max? A.

He became anxious and barked loudly. C. He tried to escape by biting through the bars. D. He remained in the corner, avoiding any interaction. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Once Fearful Dog B. A Day at the Animal Shelter C. Small Steps to Courage D. The Importance of Responsibility 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者14岁时因逃课被父母送到格林菲尔德动物收容所做志愿者作为惩罚。在那里，她遇到了一只因主人去世而被遗弃、极度恐惧的金毛犬马克斯。通过耐心陪伴，她帮助马克斯逐渐恢复信任，最终被一个家庭收养。这个过程不仅改变了马克斯，也让作者领悟到勇气的真正含义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was 14, my parents made me volunteer at Greenfield Animal Shelter as punishment for skipping maths class.(在我14岁那年，为了惩罚我逃课不去上数学课，父母让我去格林菲尔德动物收容所做志愿者工作)”可知，作者父母让她做志愿者是为了纠正她的错误行为。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I decided to spend my breaks with Max. At first, I just sat near his food bowl, reading aloud from a book.(我决定在休息时间和马克斯待在一起。起初，我只是坐在他的食盆旁边，大声朗读一本书)”以及“One rainy day, he licked my hand, and I felt like I was going to cry.(在一个下雨的下午，他舔了舔我的手，那一刻我感觉自己的眼泪就要夺眶而出)”可知，作者决定把休息时间都用来陪马克斯，在雨天的时候，马克斯舔作者的手，作者感觉都要哭了，由此推知，作者对马克斯充满关爱与关切。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Then, one morning, a family stopped at Max’s doghouse. The youngest girl called him a “golden cloud”. Max didn’t hide. He walked forward, tail wagging, and licked her fingers.(随后，在一天早晨，一个家庭来到了马克斯的狗舍前。最小的那个女孩称他为“金色的云朵”。马克斯没有躲闪。他昂首挺胸地走过来，摇着尾巴，舔了舔她的手指)”可知，马克斯面对小女孩时表现得勇敢且充满爱意。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Max taught me that courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about taking small steps towards something bigger. Now, whenever I’m scared to try something new. I remember his wagging tail and the day he trusted the world again.(马克斯教会我，勇气并非意味着无所畏惧——而是要朝着更远大的目标迈出一小步一小步。如今，每当我害怕尝试新事物时，我就会想起他摇动的尾巴以及他再次信任这个世界的那一天)”以及文章开头讲述作者因逃避责任被惩罚做志愿者，结尾点明主题：马克斯教会作者，勇气不是无所畏惧，而是朝着更大的目标迈出一小步。所以全文围绕马克斯从恐惧到重新信任世界的过程，以及作者从中获得的成长展开。故C选项“迈向勇气的一小步”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C A primary school in north Devon with a brand-new mud play area hit the headlines last week. “We felt that our children needed something better at playtime,” said the head teacher, Amy Frost, “The playground before was pristine (整洁的) but there was nothing for them to do. As schools, we have been fearful of allowing our children to take risks. Children don’t learn what risk is and how to manage risk.” To change this, the school designed different zones for climbing and muddy play. Frost said there had been a few comments from people who found it “difficult to adjust”. but parents were greatly supportive. “My son is caked in mud but he’s having fun!” one parent commented. Another said, “We’d rather do extra laundry and see them thrive (茁壮成长).” Children today have less access to unstructured outdoor play than past generations did. Helen Dodd, a professor of child psychology at the University of Exeter, said, “The decline in children getting muddy is part of our risk aversion (风险规避). We want to keep children safe, so we stop children from doing the things that children naturally do. If we want to give children space to connect with nature, they need to do that in an unrestricted way, and a consequence is that they might get muddy.” There’s also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud, just in terms of the biology of what’s in the mud, and how it affects our immune (免疫的) system, also, in terms of sensory things. Lots of children now have sensory difficulties. They don’t like the feel of different things, which might come from being kept overly clean. Children had never before seen so much and experienced so little, said Follett. “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms. What they’re lacking is real primary experience, touching, feeling, practising. You know that feeling of squeezing a handful of mud, and it leaking out through your fingers?” 8. What is the purpose of building a mud play area in the primary school? A. To upgrade school facilities. B. To teach children to learn about risks. C. To satisfy the parents’ needs. D. To hit the headlines of the newspaper. 9. What prevents children’s outdoor play? A. Generation gap. B. Behaviour code. C. School regulation. D. Too much concern. 10. What do we know about mud play? A. It has become more popular. B. It can cause severe consequences. C. It may strengthen immune system. D. It leads to sensory difficulties. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Why children experience so less. B. How parents become so positive. C. Why kids should be allowed to play in mud. D. How connection with nature could be built. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么应该允许孩子们在泥巴中玩耍，以及泥巴游戏对孩子们的益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““As schools, we have been fearful of allowing our children to take risks. Children don’t learn what risk is and how to manage risk.” To change this, the school designed different zones for climbing and muddy play.(“作为学校，我们一直担心让孩子们去冒险。孩子们根本不知道什么是风险，也不知道如何应对风险。” 为了改变这种状况，学校设置了不同的攀爬区和泥地游乐区)”可知，学校要建一个泥地游戏区是为了教孩子们了解风险。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Helen Dodd, a professor of child psychology at the University of Exeter, said, “The decline in children getting muddy is part of our risk aversion. We want to keep children safe, so we stop children from doing the things that children naturally do.(埃克塞特大学儿童心理学教授海伦·多德表示：“孩子们不再沾满泥巴的现象，是出于我们对风险的规避心理。我们希望保护孩子们的安全，所以就阻止孩子们去做他们自然而然会做的事情。”)”可知，家长们的过分担心阻碍了孩子们在户外玩耍。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There’s also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud, just in terms of the biology of what’s in the mud, and how it affects our immune system, also, in terms of sensory things.(此外，还有关于与泥土接触所带来的益处的研究，这不仅涉及泥土中所含物质的生物学特性，还包括它如何影响我们的免疫系统，以及在感官方面的影响)”可知，泥浆游戏也许可以增强免疫系统。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Children had never before seen so much and experienced so little, said Follett. “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms. What they’re lacking is real primary experience, touching, feeling, practising. You know that feeling of squeezing a handful of mud, and it leaking out through your fingers?”(福莱特说：“孩子们以前从未见过如此之多的事物，却从未有过太多的实际体验。他们的所有经历都只是通过卧室里封闭的屏幕获得的。他们所欠缺的是真正的直接体验，比如触摸、感受、实践。你知道那种握着一团泥巴然后泥巴从手指间漏出去的感觉吗？”)”以及文章主要介绍了为什么应该允许孩子们在泥巴中玩耍，以及泥巴游戏对孩子们的益处。可知，这篇文章主要讲了为什么应该允许孩子在泥里玩耍。故选C。 D It is a strange coincidence that as humans attempt to greatly reduce their carbon emissions (排放) they are also rushing to develop a technology that could, in theory, consume an unlimited amount of energy. Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply. If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern. According to one analysis, if Google chose to shift to an entirely Al-powered search business, its electricity consumption could match that of some countries. Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around. Microsoft is placing bets on nuclear plants to power its data centres, while the English government has promised to boost its national computing capacity by 50 per cent by 2025, which would help it keep pace with rapid AI developments in the world. Thankfully, we may soon reach a turning point. As is reported, this year the global power department came close to reaching peak greenhouse gas emissions, as the switch from fossil (化石) fuels to clean and renewable sources is well underway. The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation (脱碳) to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded (把……嵌入) in our society. Silicon Valley’s intelligent machines may grab the headlines and the imagination, but the people really inventing the future are working on the energy sector. 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. The reality is far from what we expected. B. Carbon emissions have been reduced a lot. C. The rapid AI increase brings many benefits. D. Climate change has to be dealt with properly. 13. Why is electricity consumption a major concern? A. 20%of the power is produced by burning coal in the US. B. There is no limit on tech-giants’ electricity consumption. C. Many countries haven’t switched to clean energy. D. Extensive use of AI will consume more energy. 14. What does the underlined word “magnified” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Overstated. B. Undervalued. C. Reasonable. D. Common. 15. What would be our primary task before we reach a turning point? A. Achieving net-zero emissions as soon as possible. B. Balancing energy-hungry AI with decarbonisation. C. Shifting to a fully AI-powered search business. D. Creating an unlimited energy-consuming technology. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人类在努力减少碳排放的同时，也在急于发展一种理论上可能消耗无限能量的技术——人工智能，并探讨了由此带来的能源消耗与脱碳之间的平衡问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply.(违背事实行事是一种危险的行为，但你可以想象这样一个世界：如果我们在20世纪90年代就选择认真应对气候变化，那么我们将会在适当的时间内完成向零排放的渐进式过渡，届时绿色能源将为人工智能的快速增长提供动力。然而，实际情况却是，我们却面临着以20世纪的能源供应来运行21世纪的技术的风险)”可知，本段通过对比理想中的情况和现实情况，说明了现实与预期之间存在很大的差距。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern.(如果你居住在美国，每次使用人工智能模型时，所需电量中约有 20% 是通过燃烧煤炭产生的。人工智能的迅猛发展使得这一问题变得更加紧迫)”可知，由于人工智能的广泛使用，将消耗更多的能源，这使得电力消耗成为一个主要问题。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词所在句“Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around.”中“Such estimates”指的是第二段中提到的“if Google chose to shift to an entirely Al-powered search business, its electricity consumption could match that of some countries.(如果谷歌选择转向完全由人工智能驱动的搜索业务，其用电量可能与一些国家相当)”这一惊人估计。结合句中“but”可知，前后文有转折关系，后文说“人工智能耗电量增加的证据随处可见”，由此推知，上文是讲“这样的估计可能有所夸大”，与下文构成转折关系。画线词 magnified 意思是“夸大的”，与Overstated 意思相近。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our society.(现在的问题是，我们能否加快脱碳的步伐，以适应随着人工智能在社会中日益普及而带来的能源消耗的增长趋势)”可知，在我们达到转折点之前，我们的主要任务是平衡高能耗人工智能与脱碳步伐之间的关系。故选B。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being attracted into “activities” that require only the movement of a hand, such as video games, social media or web surfing, more and more teenagers are passing on the chance to play sports — and that’s not good! If you’re a pre-teen or teen and you haven’t played a sport yet, now’s the perfect time to give it a try! ____16____ You’ll become healthier. Sports require you to move your body. ____17____ Physical activity helps control weight, fight against diseases and improves mood. ____18____ Many studies show that playing sports can improve your brainpower. Children who are more active show greater attention, have faster cognitive processing (认知处理) speed, and perform better on tests than children who are less active. You’ll learn teamwork and sportsmanship. In sports, people learn to rely on each other and encourage one another to realize a common goal. Though individual sports are great, team sports teach you a life lesson: the success of a team depends on how well the players work together. ____19____ Cheating and fighting do not belong in sports. ____20____ Whether or not you’re a natural-born athlete, there’s a sport that’s just right for you! Whether it’s basketball, swimming, or skateboard, choose a sport that you truly love. A. You’ll get smarter. B. Pick a sport today! C. Sports teach you to be honest. D. You will receive higher grades in exams. E. Here are good reasons to join a sport. F. It is well known that exercise is good for your health. G. Sports also teach you to respect the players on other teams. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍参加体育运动的诸多好处，并呼吁青少年挑选适合自己的运动。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If you’re a pre-teen or teen and you haven’t played a sport yet, now’s the perfect time to give it a try!(如果你是一个十岁出头或十几岁的孩子，还没有参加过一项运动，现在是尝试的最佳时机！)”以及下文分段列举参加体育运动的好处可知，此处需要总起下文的过渡句。E选项“Here are good reasons to join a sport. (以下是参加体育运动的好理由)”起到承上启下的作用。 【17题详解】 下文“Physical activity helps control weight, fight against diseases and improves mood. (体育活动有助于控制体重、抵御疾病、改善情绪)”具体介绍锻炼对身体的好处，空处应指出锻炼对健康有益，F选项“It is well known that exercise is good for your health. (众所周知，锻炼对健康有益)”呼应本段主题“You’ll become healthier. (你会变得更健康)”，引出下文细节。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Many studies show that playing sports can improve your brainpower. (许多研究表明体育运动可以提升你的脑力)”可知，本段围绕运动对智力的积极影响展开，空格为本段主题句。A选项“You’ll get smarter. (你会变得更聪明)”概括本段主旨。 【19题详解】 根据本段主旨句“You’ll learn teamwork and sportsmanship. (你会学会团队合作和体育精神)”以及空前一句“Though individual sports are great, team sports teach you a life lesson: the success of a team depends on how well the players work together. (尽管个人运动不错，但团队运动教会你人生启示：团队的成功取决于队员协作的程度)”可知，空格继续阐述体育精神相关内容。G选项“Sports also teach you to respect the players on other teams. (体育运动还教会你尊重其他队伍的选手)”话题、句式均与上文保持一致。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Whether or not you’re a natural-born athlete, there’s a sport that’s just right for you! Whether it’s basketball, swimming, or skateboard, choose a sport that you truly love. (无论你是否天生就是运动员，总有一项运动适合你！无论是篮球、游泳还是滑板，选择一项你真正喜欢的运动。)”可知，下文倡导选择喜爱的运动，此处发出行动呼吁。B选项“Pick a sport today! (今天就选一项运动吧)”符合段落语境。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last week, Tom and his mother went to a restaurant to celebrate his fifth birthday.

On the other end of the call were students in Houston. After Moore Elementary was flooded by Hurricane Harvey, the Texas students lost classroom supplies, computers and more than 20,000 books from their school library. Upon hearing about the troubles faced by their fellow students in Texas, children at Bluffdale Elementary emptied their piggy banks, took on extra chores and sold baked goods to raise money. During the Friday morning call, the students of Martianne White’s fourth-grade class presented a check for $2,763.57 to Moore’s students. White said the idea for the fundraiser came from a pair of her 9-year-old fourth-graders: Alexa Mazuran and Adison Penkey. “If that happened to me I would be heartbroken because I enjoy being here with all my friends and learning from my teacher,” Alexa said. Adison said she was “very sad” when she learned about the students who had to leave their homes to avoid the flooding. She said she was upset at the thought of library books floating away in the floodwaters. The girls went to work, first with their teacher, then with the rest of their class making posters. Eventually their efforts went schoolwide, and the two students took the lead, putting up handmade posters, collecting money from classes and making fundraising announcements every morning. “I was really happy to see all of their faces, super excited, when we told them we raised the money,” Adison said. During the call, the students at Bluffdale had the chance to talk to Moore Elementary Principal Patricia Myers and a class of fifth-graders. The Bluffdale students asked a number of questions about the evacuation (疏散) and how they were affected by the hurricane. Students on the other side of the video replied to them and expressed their gratitude, jumping excitedly with watery eyes. 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。 Hearing their cheers, Alexa felt joyful and realized something besides money. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One morning weeks later, Adison was reading a new letter from Moore Elementary. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Hearing their cheers, Alexa felt joyful and realized something besides money. Through the video screen, she saw the Texas students’ eyes light up, their excited whispers filling the Bluffdale gymnasium. “Thank you so much!” a girl from Moore exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. Watching the virtual high-fives exchanged across the miles, Alexa realized this was more than just donating money; it was building a bridge of friendship. The once-heavy atmosphere now buzzed with laughter and shared stories, making the distance between Utah and Texas feel insignificantly small. In that moment, she understood that true compassion could turn a tragedy into a new beginning, connecting hearts despite the physical separation. One morning weeks later, Adison was reading a new letter from Moore Elementary. Sunlight streamed through the classroom windows, illuminating the neatly handwritten pages. “Your kindness is like a bright light after the storm,” she read aloud from the Texas students’ message. Seeing her classmates’ attentive faces with their eyes shining with shared pride, she felt immensely joyful. The letter concluded, “We are rebuilding our library and will never forget our friends in Utah.” A gentle breeze rustled the paper, carrying with it a sense of peaceful accomplishment. This simple act of kindness, she realized, had planted seeds of hope that would grow for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了犹他州布拉夫代尔小学的学生们在得知得克萨斯州摩尔小学因飓风哈维遭受严重损失后，自发筹款，并通过视频连线将爱心传递给受灾同龄人的感人故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写Alexa透过屏幕观察到的得州学生们的真实反应，以及她由此领悟到的超越金钱的情感价值，如友谊的建立、心灵的慰藉和距离的消融。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写Adison朗读来信时教室内的温馨氛围，信中内容对重建工作的描述，以及Adison从中感受到的希望与成就感，升华善举的长远意义。 2. 续写线索：​ 听到欢呼——观察反应——领悟真情——收到回信——朗读分享——感受希望——升华主题 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①交换：exchange/trade/swap ②照亮：illuminate/light up/brighten 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled/eager ②高兴的：joyful/delighted/cheerful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Through the video screen, she saw the Texas students’ eyes light up, their excited whispers filling the Bluffdale gymnasium.(运用了独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】​Watching the virtual high-fives exchanged across the miles, Alexa realized this was more than just donating money; it was building a bridge of friendship.

B When I was 14, my parents made me volunteer at Greenfield Animal Shelter as punishment for skipping maths class. “You need to learn responsibility,” Mum said, handing me a brightly coloured uniform that was too big. The shelter smelled like wet fur and disinfectant (消毒剂); and my job was cleaning cages - washing food from bowls and sticky floors. On my third Saturday, I noticed a golden retriever (寻回犬) named Max. His cage card said his owner had passed away, and he’d been at the shelter for three months. Unlike other dogs, Max covered in the corner, shaking at every noise. When I entered his doghouse, he flattened himself into a shaking pancake. “He’s sweet but scared of everything,” Ms. Torres, a shelter worker, told me. She showed me old injuries on his legs from when he’d tried to bite through the bars. I decided to spend my breaks with Max. At first, I just sat near his food bowl, reading aloud from a book. His breathing slowed to whispers. Soon, he let me touch his ears. When I dropped my keys, he stepped back but stayed. I brought him a tennis ball, and we played fetch outside. His tail wagged a little more each time. One rainy day, he licked (舔) my hand, and I felt like I was going to cry. Then, one morning, a family stopped at Max’s doghouse. The youngest girl called him a “golden cloud”. Max didn’t hide. He walked forward, tail wagging, and licked her fingers. As they filled out the adoption papers, I hid in the storage closet, hugging my knees. I heard their laughter, the jingle of Max’s new collar, and the sound of the door shutting. When I came out, Ms. Torres smiled. “You did good, kid,” she said. Max taught me that courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about taking small steps towards something bigger. Now, whenever I’m scared to try something new. I remember his wagging tail and the day he trusted the world again. 4. Why did the author’s parents make her volunteer at the animal shelter? A.

A Once Fearful Dog B. A Day at the Animal Shelter C. Small Steps to Courage D. The Importance of Responsibility C A primary school in north Devon with a brand-new mud play area hit the headlines last week. “We felt that our children needed something better at playtime,” said the head teacher, Amy Frost, “The playground before was pristine (整洁的) but there was nothing for them to do. As schools, we have been fearful of allowing our children to take risks. Children don’t learn what risk is and how to manage risk.” To change this, the school designed different zones for climbing and muddy play. Frost said there had been a few comments from people who found it “difficult to adjust”. but parents were greatly supportive. “My son is caked in mud but he’s having fun!” one parent commented. Another said, “We’d rather do extra laundry and see them thrive (茁壮成长).” Children today have less access to unstructured outdoor play than past generations did. Helen Dodd, a professor of child psychology at the University of Exeter, said, “The decline in children getting muddy is part of our risk aversion (风险规避). We want to keep children safe, so we stop children from doing the things that children naturally do. If we want to give children space to connect with nature, they need to do that in an unrestricted way, and a consequence is that they might get muddy.” There’s also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud, just in terms of the biology of what’s in the mud, and how it affects our immune (免疫的) system, also, in terms of sensory things. Lots of children now have sensory difficulties. They don’t like the feel of different things, which might come from being kept overly clean. Children had never before seen so much and experienced so little, said Follett. “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms. What they’re lacking is real primary experience, touching, feeling, practising. You know that feeling of squeezing a handful of mud, and it leaking out through your fingers?” 8. What is the purpose of building a mud play area in the primary school? A. To upgrade school facilities. B. To teach children to learn about risks. C. To satisfy the parents’ needs. D. To hit the headlines of the newspaper. 9. What prevents children’s outdoor play? A. Generation gap. B. Behaviour code. C. School regulation. D. Too much concern. 10. What do we know about mud play? A. It has become more popular. B. It can cause severe consequences. C. It may strengthen immune system. D. It leads to sensory difficulties. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Why children experience so less. B. How parents become so positive. C. Why kids should be allowed to play in mud. D. How connection with nature could be built. D It is a strange coincidence that as humans attempt to greatly reduce their carbon emissions (排放) they are also rushing to develop a technology that could, in theory, consume an unlimited amount of energy. Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply. If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern. According to one analysis, if Google chose to shift to an entirely Al-powered search business, its electricity consumption could match that of some countries. Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around. Microsoft is placing bets on nuclear plants to power its data centres, while the English government has promised to boost its national computing capacity by 50 per cent by 2025, which would help it keep pace with rapid AI developments in the world. Thankfully, we may soon reach a turning point. As is reported, this year the global power department came close to reaching peak greenhouse gas emissions, as the switch from fossil (化石) fuels to clean and renewable sources is well underway. The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation (脱碳) to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded (把……嵌入) in our society.

On the other end of the call were students in Houston. After Moore Elementary was flooded by Hurricane Harvey, the Texas students lost classroom supplies, computers and more than 20,000 books from their school library. Upon hearing about the troubles faced by their fellow students in Texas, children at Bluffdale Elementary emptied their piggy banks, took on extra chores and sold baked goods to raise money. During the Friday morning call, the students of Martianne White’s fourth-grade class presented a check for $2,763.57 to Moore’s students. White said the idea for the fundraiser came from a pair of her 9-year-old fourth-graders: Alexa Mazuran and Adison Penkey. “If that happened to me I would be heartbroken because I enjoy being here with all my friends and learning from my teacher,” Alexa said. Adison said she was “very sad” when she learned about the students who had to leave their homes to avoid the flooding. She said she was upset at the thought of library books floating away in the floodwaters. The girls went to work, first with their teacher, then with the rest of their class making posters. Eventually their efforts went schoolwide, and the two students took the lead, putting up handmade posters, collecting money from classes and making fundraising announcements every morning. “I was really happy to see all of their faces, super excited, when we told them we raised the money,” Adison said. During the call, the students at Bluffdale had the chance to talk to Moore Elementary Principal Patricia Myers and a class of fifth-graders. The Bluffdale students asked a number of questions about the evacuation (疏散) and how they were affected by the hurricane. Students on the other side of the video replied to them and expressed their gratitude, jumping excitedly with watery eyes. 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。 Hearing their cheers, Alexa felt joyful and realized something besides money. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One morning weeks later, Adison was reading a new letter from Moore Elementary. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
