阅读B篇
4.文章开头提到，Param Jaggi五岁时就喜欢拆解玩具和物品，想看看里面是什么，这体现了他天生的好奇心（curious by nature）。B项（梦想成为工程师）和D项（沉迷玩玩具）未明确提及；C项（总是惹父母生气）不准确，因为后来他开始建造东西，父母感到欣慰。故选A。
5.“came around”在文中指Jaggi的父母最初认为他的实验只是儿时的幻想，但后来改变了想法，开始支持他。因此，“changed their minds”（改变主意）最符合语境。A项（获胜）、C项（四处走动）和D项（拜访）均不符合。故选B。
6. 第二段提到Jaggi决心为环境做出改变（make a difference to the environment），后来他创立公司并设计平价环保产品，正是出于这一初衷。A项（热爱环保设备）和D项（希望推动绿色产业）是他的具体行动，但根本驱动力是C项（渴望改变环境）。B项（追求学术生涯）未提及。故选C。
7. 最后一段提到，Jaggi计划通过在线平台鼓励对科技感兴趣的年轻学生参与创新，学生可以提交项目并寻求帮助实现创意，因此目的是“赋能年轻发明者”（empower young inventors）。A项（推广智能产品）、C项（提供环保课程）和D项（为环保人士提供资金）均未直接体现。故选B。
阅读C篇
8. 文章第二段提到，美国森林目前吸收11%的碳排放，但到2025年后，其吸收能力将下降，而由于树木腐烂释放的碳超过吸收量，森林可能每年排放1亿吨碳。 因此，森林从“碳汇”（吸收碳）转变为“碳源”（排放碳）的关键原因是排放量增加，而不仅仅是吸收减少（A项不全面）。
9. Lynn Riley指出，森林目前抵消了美国11%的碳排放，若失去这一作用，美国需更快减排才能实现净零目标（第三段）。A项错误，森林尚未完全失去吸碳作用，但未来可能逆转。 C项偷换概念，11%是森林吸收的排放比例，而非美国的排放量。D项与原文矛盾，森林减少会导致碳排放增加而非减少。
10. 第四段明确提到，全球变暖导致自然灾害频率和强度增加（如野火、风暴），破坏森林并减少碳吸收。A项（树种不当）、B项（砍伐老树）未提及，且砍伐老树是解决方案之一。 C项（城市开发减少）与原文相反，开发实际在增加。
11. 全文核心：美国森林因老化、腐烂和自然灾害，可能从吸碳转为排碳，加剧全球变暖。 B项（造林是解决方案）与文章警告矛盾。C项（减少森林威胁气候）未体现“老化”和“排放”关键点。D项（森林腐烂是变暖结果）片面，未强调“排放”主题。 最佳标题A，直接点明森林因老化成为碳源的未来风险。
阅读D篇【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了作者对在科学研究中“假设你是错的”这条建议的看法，并肯定了它所带来的好处。
12. 解析：文章第一段提到，作者发现用耳朵“听书”比用眼睛阅读更舒适（far more comfortable），并且能让眼睛得到休息（while my eyes are resting），这表明作者认为听有声书是一种放松的方式。其他选项（A. 经济的；B. 费力的；C. 耗时的）均未在文中体现。
13. 解析：文章第二段提到，System 2 是分析性的（analytical），涉及逻辑推理（logic reasoning），虽然耗费脑力（mentally demanding），但能让人逐步思考问题，从而避免错误（如“诺亚方舟”例子中，System 2 能纠正 System 1 的直觉错误）。因此，System 2 更可靠。B 项“完全自动”错误（System 1 才是自动的）；C 项“以问题为中心”和 D 项“涉及情感”均不符合 System 2 的特点。
14. 解析：方舟的例子是为了说明 System 1 和 System 2 的区别。通过这个例子，作者展示了直觉思维（System 1）容易出错，而分析性思维（System 2）能纠正错误，从而支持前文提出的“双重加工模型”观点。A 项“陈述事实”和 C 项“引入话题”不符合，D 项“得出结论”则过早（例子用于论证，而非总结）。
15. 解析：文章通过研究表明，听有声书可能降低逻辑信息的理解（come at the price of my comprehension），因此作者决定用眼睛阅读非虚构类书籍，但仍会听小说。A 项“信息处理方式不同”是研究内容，而非作者的主要意图。B 项“阅读非虚构书籍有益”片面；C 项“批判性思维必不可少”未直接体现；
【七选五解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了内向性格的特点、优势以及面临的挑战，旨在纠正社会对内向性格的偏见，并强调其积极的一面。
【16题详解】
根据空前“However, there is no fault in being introverted.(然而，内向并没有错。)”可知，作者认为内向性格没有过错。选项E“Instead, we should appreciate introverts for various reasons.(相反，出于各种原因，我们应该欣赏内向的人。)”延续上文内容，指出内向并没有错，同时引出下文对内向性格的优点的介绍。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文内容“While others are busy chatting, introverts observe things most-people are unaware of. Sometimes we can even read people. While it may seem introverts are always zoned out, we’re actually analyzing and thinking of creative ideas to one day share with you.(当别人忙着聊天时，内向的人却能观察到大多数人不知道的事情。有时我们甚至能读懂别人。虽然内向的人似乎总是走神，但我们实际上是在分析和思考有创意的想法，以便有一天与你分享。)”可知，内向的人不说话有可能是在思考或分析。选项G“Just because we introverts don’t say much doesn’t always mean we’re clueless.(仅仅因为我们内向的人不说太多并不总是意味着我们毫无头绪。)”与下文内容相符，指的是内向的人不说话并不意味着内向的人毫无头绪，他们只是在思考。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文内容“By listening to whatever people pour out, introverts help maintain the order of the world.(通过倾听别人的倾诉，内向的人帮助维持世界的秩序。)”可知，内向的人会倾听别人的倾诉。选项B“And this is exactly what our introverts are born with.(这正是我们内向的人与生俱来的特质。)”中的“this”指的是上文“In a world that can’t stop talking, the ability to listen to what each other has to say is an important virtue that will assist us in building peaceful relationships of understanding.(在一个不能停止谈话的世界里，倾听彼此的能力是一种重要的美德，它将帮助我们建立和平的理解关系。)”中的“the ability to listen to what each other has to say”，也就是倾听的能力，同时引出下文，这种特质可以让内向的人维持世界的秩序。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据空前的“Though the outgoing may gain their energy through mixing in crowds, introverts are self-recharging powerhouses.(虽然外向的人可能会在人群中获得能量，但内向的人是自我充电的动力。)”以及空后的“Their energy is found through loneliness. (他们的能量来自孤独。)”可知，外向的人和内向的人获得能量的方式不同。选项F“They don’t need to constantly put themselves out there to be lively.(他们不需要经常把自己放在外面来表现活泼。)”延续上文内容，指的是内向的人自我充电，不需要表现活泼，而是来自孤独。故选F。
【20题详解】
空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“In the noise of chatterboxes, their voices often get drowned out. There’s nothing more disappointing to an introvert than finally taking advantage of a moment to speak, only to be interrupted by the extroverts (外向者）. While extroverts may speak every thought that comes to mind, an introvert will choose their thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones they think their best to share. So next time, all you have to do is to be willing to listen.(在喋喋不休者的嘈杂声中，他们的声音常常被淹没。对于内向的人来说，没有什么比利用这个机会说话却被外向的人打断更让人失望的了。外向的人可能会说出想到的每一个想法，而内向的人会仔细选择他们的想法，只说出他们认为最适合分享的想法。所以下次，你所要做的就是愿意倾听。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是内向的人的声音经常被淹没，由此可知，这是内向的人所面临的挑战。选项A“Unluckily, introverts are faced with a big challenge.(不幸的是，内向的人面临着一个巨大的挑战。)”与本段内容相符，指的是内向的人有一个巨大的挑战。故选A。

【46范文】Dear John,
How are you doing recently I can’t wait to inform you of the relevant details that will definitely attract you a lot.
To foster students’ correct outlook on labor, two courses, planting vegetables and traditional crafts are available to students in each grade this year in our school. Full of curiosity, I take these courses.
Making handicrafts is one of my favourite, where I gained a fundamental glimpse of essential life skills such as sewing a button and knitting a scarf. It was surely a rewarding experience, enriching my after-school life and helping me form the good habit of laboring. Most of the students are fascinated by the courses because they offer an alternative to our busy school life. Not only can we get relaxed but also we can gain a higher moral value on life.
Yours,
Li Hua
【读后续写】One possible version:
Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog and felt rather worried. She was sitting alone in the living room, hugging a pillow and rocking back and forth on the edge of a chair. She was trying not to cry but she was not strong enough. Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of sadness. Just as Doris was at her lowest, her parents appeared from the doorway. With a smile on Mrs. Lacey’s face, she said, “Honey, Papa and I have agreed to keep the puppy as a part of our family.”
Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard. She looked at her parents surprisedly. “Doris, you were right. He has brought so much happiness to us,” Mr. Lacey continued, “and I drove by the local animal shelter yesterday. The conditions there are quite poor. We can’t leave him there.” Doris smiled with tears of happiness in her eyes and threw her arms around her parents. She knew they not only embraced the puppy into their family but also gave him a chance at a much happier life.

When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside. He started with toys and oven broke a computer, which made his parents not too pleased. As he got older, he shifted from breaking things to building things, which greatly comforted his parents. In middle school, he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory, and his first project was making biofuels.
Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy, he remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually, his parents came around and started supporting his dreams. Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up, but he focused more on solving real problems, especially those related to the environment.
At 17, Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate, a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use. Through Ecoviate, he designed products that could contribute to a greener future. One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”, a device that could be attached to vehicle tailpipes to reduce carbon emissions, and it’s available to many people at low prices. He also created a smartwatch that changed body heat into energy, which can be used to power up the watch as well as mobile phones.
Young Jaggi, now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics, has become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly. However, Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products. He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate, which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention. Students can submit a science project online, and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality.
4. What can we learn about Jaggi from Paragraph 1
A. He was curious by nature. B. He dreamed to be an engineer.
C. He always annoyed his parents. D. He was addicted to playing toys.
5. Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “came around” in Paragraph 2
A. Won out. B. Changed their minds.
C. Walked around. D. Paid a visit.
6. What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user-friendly products
A. His love for greener devices. B. His pursuit of academic career.
C. His desire to make a difference. D. His hope to boost green industry.
7. Why does Jaggie plan to launch an online platform
A. To promote smart products.
B. To empower young inventors.
C. To provide eco-themed courses.
D. To offer environmentalists funds.

US forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, suggesting that forests could worsen global warming instead of easing it, a new Agriculture Department report says.
US forests currently absorb 11 percent of US carbon emissions (释放), equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start declining after 2025 and that forests could emit up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their emissions from decaying (腐烂) trees go beyond their carbon absorption.
The prediction suggests that this will require the US to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net zero, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science. “Eleven percent of our domestic emissions. That is a really significant portion,” Riley said. “As we work to decarbonize, forests are one of the greatest tools available. If we were to lose that, it means the US will contribute that much more” in emissions. The report also assesses and predicts the extent of renewable resources provided by the nation’s forests and undeveloped landscapes, including farmlands, wetlands and grasslands.
According to the report, the loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. Development in forested areas, which the report predicts will continue to increase, is having the same effect as people increasingly move to the so-called wildland urban areas. Aging forests also contribute as older, mature trees absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same species, and the US forests are rapidly aging.
More aggressive forest management can help by cutting down a small portion of aging forests to make ways for younger trees that absorb more carbon. A thorough study of each forest should be done before removing older trees, Riley said.
8. Why could US forests become a “substantial carbon source”
A. They fail to absorb enough carbon.
B. They begin to emit carbon increasingly.
C. They may emit more carbon than absorb.
D. Mature trees outnumber young trees.
9. Which of the following may Lynn Riley agree with
A. US forests have lost their role in carbon absorption.
B. It is urgent for the US to reduce carbon emissions.
C. The US has contributed to 11% carbon emissions.
D. The loss of forests contributes to less carbon emissions.
10. What leads to the loss of carbon absorption
A. Improper tree species.
B. Removal of aging trees.
C. Decreasing urban development.
D. Frequent severe natural disasters.
11. Which could be a suitable title for the text
A. Aging Forests —a Major Emitter of Carbon.
B. Growing Forests —a Solution to Carbon Emissions.
C. Reducing Forests —a Threat to Global Warming.
D. Decaying Forests —a Consequence of Global Warming.

Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result -- but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing. According to this view, we have two ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive （直觉的）, relying on natural ability and feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical, involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step. For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark（方舟） If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form-seeing vs hearing-of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answering these kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud, rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study. For this reason, I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.

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。
In a very cold January, a puppy wandered around Mr. Lacey’s house, where he lived with his wife Mamie and their daughter Doris. Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses and snow swallowed up cars.
The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road.
“Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table, said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the puppy hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So, it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food. Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes. Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company.
Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog, Doris tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but her parents didn’t give a definite answer.
Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was shining.
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。
Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog and felt rather worried.

Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard.
