The Atacama Desert stretches along the coast of northern Chile, covering over 40,000 square
miles of dry land. It has a reputation as the harshest desert in the world, although that (11)
technically belongs to the Antarctica desert.
Tn fact, some weather stations in the Atacama have never recorded rainfall. Despite the severe
conditions, the Atacama Desert is (12)to a surprising number of plant species, many of
which have evolved to survive long periods of drought.
These flowers lie inactive, coming to life in a breathtaking (13)that can stretch across
thousands of square kilometers when conditions are favorable. This phenomenon is called a desert
bloom. It occurs when infrequent rains cause a(n) (14)growth of seeds that have lain
inactive in the soil for years. These seeds are capable of resisting extreme heat and extended
dryness.
The current flowering isn't yet (15) enough to be regarded as a desert bloom,
covering only a few hundred square kilometers. But here's the strange thing: this phenomenon
usually happens in the spring. Now, in Chile, it's winter — so it's unusually early for something
like this to happen.
El Nifio, a natural climate phenomenon that influences global weather, often plays a crucial
role in the desert bloom. However, it is not yet confirmed whether it is to blame fbr the
(16) of this bloom. This phenomenon (17) nonnal weather patterns, regularly
bringing increased rainfall to regions that are typically dry. Tn the case of the Atacama desert, it

environment.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Effective monitoring of endangered species is key to their survival. Studying the 21 ,
range, and habits of wild animals is essential to ensure their habitat remains free from
development and illegal hunters. Traditional methods of monitoring wild animals, especially large
ones, include radioTagging （无线电标记）.To do this, individual animals must at first be captured
so that collars can be 22 .
One organization that 23 this technique was WildTrack. In the late 1990s, the team was
using radio-collars to monitor black rhinos （犀牛）in Namibia. However, the team soon realized
that the chemicals used to immobilize the rhino to fit the collars 24 female fertility. Not only
that but also a large proportion of the radio-collars 25 within the first 6 months and had to
be replaced. 26 . as animals grew, the collars would tighten, annoying or even hurting them.
The method was costly and had the unintended 27 of altering the rhinos' behavior, making
the collected data unreliable. At the same time, the team was working alongside local 28 .
Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills, and these experts have years of experience in
identifying individual animals by their footprints. They could effectively create a true picture of
individual rhinos' activities without the use of any invasive （侵入的）techniques. Consequently,
the team were interested to know whether the trackers5 knowledge could be effectively 29 a
computerized technique for monitoring animal movement.
Within each species, each individual has its own unique foot 30 . If an animal is sighted
and identified just once, and the characteristics of its footprints are properly photographed and
measured, its footprint can be 31 whenever it is sighted again. If that is done repeatedly,
conservationists can draw up a 32 of all, or at least a significant proportion of the
individuals within the population. After that, conservationists can use it to identify an animal and
its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of 33 . fbr example, to
monitor biodiversity. WildTrack is currently using footprint identification technology in Greece to
study the potential effect of a large highway construction through brown bear habitat.
Identifying an animal from its footprint is not without its 34 , however, as each time the
individual places its foot on the ground, it leaves a slightly different track, according to the ground
type, moisture （湿度），and movement. To account for these 35 . it is necessary to collect
multiple tracks from each animal on a range of surfaces.

（A）
Back in her twenties, Linda Park was all about fashion. But she also started noticing
something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked
as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around
fbr decades, and the harmful dyes （染料）dumping into rivers, it hit her — if she was going to
make a real difference, she'd have to roll up her sleeves （袖子）and tackle fashion's waste problem
herself.
Every year, millions of tons of clothing arc thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in
landfills. And here's the kicker: most of it barely gets worn before it's thrown away, thanks to the
endless cycle of fast fashion. Park thought, U1 can do belter than this.^^ So, she pictured a new kind
of store — one that wouldn't just reduce waste but would also inspire people to make smarter,
greener choices.
In September 2020, Park launched GreenThrcad — her sustainable fashion drcam came true.
The store's special touch It sold upcycled clothing and fabric made from waste materials.
Customers could bring in their old clothes and trade them fbr store credit, giving the items a
second life. GreenThread's clothes were a mix of repurposed fabrics and eco-friendly dyes,
proving that sustainable fashion can be stylish.
Now, GreenThread's clothes aren't exactly cheap. A T-shirt might cost $25, while the same
one at a regular store could be S15. But here's the deal: people love the quality, the durability, and
the fact that they5 re supporting an eco-friendly brand. It feels good to be part of the solution, right
When the pandemic （疫'借）hit, it wasn't smooth sailing. But Park wasn't ready to call it quits.
She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations. The response was
awesome, and GreenThread's fanbase grew as more people realized the benefits of shopping
sustainably.
Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. "Each piece has its own
story,“ she smiles. "Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. Ifs not just fashion; it's
a movement.^^
4
36 .inspired Linda Park to start her business.
A. A desire to promote eco-friendly dyes
B. The high demand fbr recycled clothing
C. The waste generated by the fashion industry
D. Her background in sustainable design
37. The phrase "'the kicker1' in paragraph 2 most likely means.
A. the person kicking the football
B. something unexpected and surprising
C. the most exciting part of the situation
D. the reason why fast fashion is successful
38. Which of the following best describes Park's attitude towards her business

Li Lin, a senior high 3 student, is preparing an argumentative essay on sea exploration. He
has collected some texts for reference, two of which are shown below for his writing.
Exploring the sea usually means exploiting it, which has caused numerous problems and will
continue to cause more.
More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million
gallons （加仑）of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also harmful, killing many birds and
fish, and has even been found in our tap water. Mining fbr resources is damaging, especially in the
Arctic. Climate change has led to less ice, which means we can look fbr more fossil fuels （化石燃
料）further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more, thus worsening this negative cycle.
Whales and dolphins are also overfished fbr their meat or fbr research. Although this was banned
in 1982, some countries are still <The sea stretches out immeasurably but it is more sensitive than we think. If we don't protect
it, future generations will not forgive us.
5
(6) Text 2
To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it.
Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration matters to the ftiture.
Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new
species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new
medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may provide
hints of events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new
resources fbr future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and
ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. The related environmental risks should be
balanced with economic needs. Hopeftilly, as technology improves, we can have more options fbr
managing this balance.
40. Which of the following can be inferred from the texts
A. Plastic pollution has directly contributed to the melting of Arctic icc.
B. Logging new species could lead to advancements in medicine and food production.
C. Overfishing has been completely stopped due to international bans introduced in 1982.
D. The population growth worldwide has reduced the need fbr deep-sea resources.
41. Before writing, Li Lin puts forward some questions. Which question CAN NOT Li Lin find
the answer to from the texts
A. Whafs the purpose of sea exploration
B. How does sea exploration cause damage to the sea
C. What benefits can sea exploration bring to other research fields
D. What can we do to balance environmental protection and sea exploration
42. If Li Lin is determined to write an essay based on opinions from both texts, which of the
following will most probably be the central theme of his essay
A. Ways to improve the efficiency of sea development.
B. Technological breakthroughs in sea exploration.
C. Balance between the impact of sea exploration and its benefits.
D. Appeal to protect the sea from unsustainable exploration.
(C)
The conversational tone of an Al chatbot or voice-based assistant is a good way to learn new
concepts, but it may actually make us more willing to believe inaccuracies, compared with
information presented in a sialic (静态的)article.
To investigate this issue, Sonja Utz from Germany asked 1,200 participants to engage with
one of three formats. The first involved text appearing letter by letter in the style of a large model,
6
similar to ChatGPT; the second provided information through a voice-based device; and the third
was a static, text-based copy of content.
Participants couldn't interact with the systems as they might with the real versions, in order
to keep the experience consistent across the study. In some cases, participants were given accurate
information, while in others, they saw factual errors. Some of these errors were plain wrong, such
as naming Sofia as the capital of France, but others involved certain statements that were
contradicted elsewhere in the same response.
Participants were asked to rate the accuracy of the information on a seven-point scale, where
7 is entirely accurate. In the answers where errors were introduced, the information presented in a
static format was rated as 4.24 on average. The ChatGPT-iike system managed 4.76, while the
voice assistant scored 5.29. Participants rated all of the systems higher for answers where no
errors were introduced, but the differences were smaller for the voice assistant and chatbot.
“People find conversational chat agents more convincing because humans seem to be
hardwired to assign credibility to things that seem lifelike,M says Mike Katcll from UK. "The way
the chatbots and voice agents are programmed to use a friendly and helpful conversational tone
also confuses people. Chatbot makers are trying to put users at ease, which is achieved through
believable content and inoffensive delivery.^^
People have learned that these models generate false inlbrmation sometimes. "But people
don't realize that this interaction mode makes us tend lo believe whatever is written ihere." Utz
says. "Ihat should be in media literacy training.”
43. What was the main focus of Sonja Utz's study
A. Features of Al chatbots or voice-based assistants.
B. People's preference fbr information sources.
C. Why static articles differ from conversational content.
D. How text formats influence information trustworthiness.
44. In paragraph 3, text errors in the study can be summarized as.
A. inevitable and conflicting B. minor and common
C. obvious and internally inconsistent D. repetitive and randomly selected
45. According to Mike Katell, which of the following is NOT a reason why people find
conversational chat agents more convincing
A. People's inborn trust in lifelike things.
B. Inoffensive delivery of personalized content.
C. The chatbofs use of a gentle conversational tone.
D. The makers, intention to make users feel relaxed.
7
46. Which of the following can be inferred fiom the passage
A. Utz suggests people improve media awareness and competence.
B. People's preference for lifelike things may be overstated.
C. How information is presented doesn't affect how much we believe it.
D. The research results are uncertain due to the lack of man-system interaction.
Section C
Directions: Complete ihe following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence
can be used only once. Note that there are Iwo more sentences than you need.
A. Could a pill make social situations feel less threatening
B. Social connections are also essential fbr a healthy lifestyle.
C. It's like driving in the winter when you can't see clearly.
D. Is there a strong connection between memory enhancement and stress reduction
E. At the same time, it can also make them defensive when judging others.
F. Unfortunately, the fear will appear repeatedly and influence your perception of things.
Can a Pill Fight Loneliness
“Have you ever taken a walk in the woods and jumped back because you saw a stick on the
ground and thought it was a snake,“ asks researcher Stephanie Cacioppo. "The lonely people see
snakes all the
Cacioppo is talking about a long-term loneliness contradiction: A person's brain feels that
something is wrong and that they should connect with others. 47 Consequently,
they focus on the negative signals they think they're getting, which keeps them from connecting.
48 Thafs the fbcus of a clinical experiment that Cacioppo is overseeing.
For a year and a half, 96 lonely but healthy subjects have been taking a certain amount of
pregnenolone, a chemical substance associated with memory enhancement and stress reduction.
The goal of the research is to see how balancing pregnenolone levels affects the subjects. The
pill could help reduce the fear that makes lonely people withdraw and act more calmly in social
situations. 49 The idea is that a pill could clear your view, helping you see
things clearly instead of feeling afraid of everyone. Then you become more willing to listen to
others.
While developing a pill to address the brain signals that lead to loneliness holds promise, it
should not be seen as the only solution. 50 Building meaningful relationships is
just as important as eating right and exercising.

III. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Enjoy Small Treats without Guilt
Tn today's fast-paced world, ifs easy to feel guilty about taking time fbr ourselves. Whether
it's treating ourselves to a sweet treat, watching an episode of our favorite TV show, or buying
something we don't really need, we often associate these “guilty pleasures,, with negative feelings.
But what if we stopped feeling guilty What if we enjoyed these small treats as part of our self-
care routine
Life is all about balance. We work hard and manage responsibilities but we sometimes forget
to take care of our mental well-being. Small pleasures, when done mindfully, can actually
contribute to a healthier and more balanced life. They provide us with a chance to relax, recharge,
and enjoy life's little moments.
There's a difference between self-care and overdoing it. Self-care is about doing things that
restore us; while going too far can lead to negative consequences. The key is moderation. For
example, treating yourself to a chocolate bar after a long week isn't a problem — it's a form of
self-care, a small act of kindness to yourself. But if we do this every day and it gets out of hand,
then it might lead to guilt or other issues.
Guilt is a major barrier to enjoying small treats. We often feel as though we don't deserve a
treat, or that we should always be working toward something bigger. But taking time to enjoy life
is not a luxury — it's necessary. Accepting guilty pleasures without guilt can actually improve our
productivity and mental health. A relaxed and happy mind is far more effective than one filled
with stress.
So next time you feel tempted to treat yourself remember that ifs okay. Life is too short not
to enjoy the little things — so go ahead and embrace your guilty pleasures. You deserve it!
