When 12-year-old Erica Fernandez volunteered to help clean up the beach in her new hometown, Oxnard, California, she could barely speak English. She was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. She and her family had recently arrived in California from a small town in Mexico.
Erica started going door to door in her mainly Spanish-speaking farmworker community. “I always loved the ocean,” she says, “so it made me really sad to see this beautiful beach full of trash. That’s why I decided to help.”
Erica cared too much to stay silent. Having grown up in a tiny town in the Mexican state of Michoacán, she had a strong motivation to care for nature. “We grew our own food and raised our own animals. Taking care of nature was part of survival.” She wanted to bring that same spirit to her new life in California.
As her English improved, she talked to kids in her high school about what was going on. “I didn’t know if they would listen to me. My English wasn’t good and I was only sixteen,” she says. As she nervously approached the microphone, she was informed that time was running out. One minute and thirty seconds was all she had. “I couldn’t give my prepared speech, so I just spoke from my heart.”
The result was electrifying. When Erica was finished, people stood up and broke into applause. One of the teachers said, “I’m very moved by your words, Erica. When I was your age, I was playing video games.”
Only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. “We are the future. The future is ours.”
24．Why did the author mention Erica’s words in Paragraph 2
A．To show gratitude to her action. B．To advocate learning from her.
C．To clarify the reason for her help. D．To think highly of her devotion.

A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular pared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce storm water runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
28．What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean
A．Running out of. B．Keeping away from.
C．Putting up with. D．Taking advantage of.
29．Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced
A．To control weeds in large gardens. B．To bring in foreign species of plants.
C．To conserve soil and water resources. D．To develop low-maintenance parkland.
30．Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens
A．Traditional. B．Odd-looking.
C．Tasteful. D．Well-protected.
31．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．The future of gardening is WILD． B．Nature treats all lives as EQUALS.
C．Matrix gardens need more CARE. D．Old garden plots work WONDERS.
D
Over the past 300 years,1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in biodiversity loss, desertification, and increased flooding risks.
In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.
This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our interconnectedness with the woods, a realization that is perhaps the biggest “secret” to restoring nature.
Tree-planting initiatives have exploded since the turn of the century. Globally, the area of planted forests rose from 170 million hectares in 1990 to 293 million hectares in 2020. However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire.
Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non-native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems.
To solve environmental crises, Robinson advocates a more informed strategy. He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self-sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem.
The author also describes the concept of ecoacoustics (生态声学) . The approach uses the sounds made by organisms including birds and bats to explore the composition of and changes in ecosystems. Working with ecoacoustics specialist Carlos Abrahams, Robinson concludes that as forests are recovered, the number of animals hidden in the soil increases, producing an “underground soundscape — a hidden symphony of life”.
Robinson ultimately emphasizes natural regeneration — just as a phoenix (a mythical bird) is reborn from its own ashes, a damaged forest can regenerate itself.
32．What is the main focus of Jake Robinson’s Treewilding
A．The importance of technology in modern agriculture.
B．The changes of global forests over the past 300 years.
C．Major benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems.
D．Effective methods in solving the loss of forests.
33．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4
A．Lead to negative outcomes. B．Produce predictable results.
C．Facilitate relevant initiatives. D．Encourage sustainable growth.
34．What might Fleischman expect tree-planting organizers to do
A．Increase the number of non-native species.
B．Standardize planting practices across different regions.
C．Take account of natives’ knowledge in planting processes.
D．Encourage locals to adopt advanced agricultural methods.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Forest Clearing Poses a Serious Threat to Us
B．Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees
C．Natural Regeneration Is the Key to Ecosystem Restoration
D．The Underground Soundscape Allows Us to Know Nature Better

A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets. Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane. 36
Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. 37 Later, they slowly spread to America.
One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. 38 Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in consideration of the cost- effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane.
39 The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar.
The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes. 40 While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe.
A．Beets can be easily processed.
B．But its source may be actually beets.
C．The flavour of baked goods is quite similar.
D．Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.
E．In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar.
F．Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.
G．Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe.

67．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。
I run a photography studio in the heart of the city, specializing in children’s portraits. From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up.
The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill.
The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften.
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 took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something.

I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. I told the mother not to worry and that I’d take pictures for her daughter right away. I quickly adjusted the lighting in the studio and chose a soft-colored backdrop. I fetched a beautiful princess-style dress and helped the little girl put it on. As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess. Slowly, her nervousness faded away, and she began to pose with confidence, her eyes shining with a newfound light. The mother watched with a grateful smile on her face.
The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. “I’m so pretty!” she exclaimed happily. The mother came over, tears of joy in her eyes. She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter. A few months later, I received a letter from the mother. It said the girl’s condition had improved significantly. In the end, I printed the best photo and sent it to them, hoping it would always bring the little girl strength and hope.
