The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program. People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.
Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.
Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing ?9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just ?3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.
4. What can be inferred about the program
A. It is of benefit to the environment.
B. People still have doubt about it.
C. The trains in Spain are completely free now.
D. Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs.
5. What is the main purpose of introducing the program
A. To lower fuel prices. B. To relieve the stress of airline business.
C. To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain. D. To show the government’s concern for the public.
6. What does the author think of the UK government’s practice
A. Negative. B. Admiring. C. Inattentive. D. Praiseworthy.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The popularity of the climate ticket.
B. The economic benefits of the program.
C. The program’s great benefits to health.
D. The practices on public transport in some countries.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了西班牙推出的一项新政策，即年内大部分火车乘坐将免费，旨在为民众提供应对生活成本危机的帮助，同时也有助于环保和减少通勤成本。文章还提及了德国和奥地利在公共交通票价上的类似减免措施，并指出英国政府尚未推出鼓励使用火车的计划。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program.(根据一项新计划，到今年年底，西班牙绝大多数火车都将免费)”和“As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.(乘火车比乘飞机旅行对环境更有好处，坐在火车上，看着乡村的景色掠过，是了解一个国家的最佳方式)”可推知 ，这个计划对环境是有好处的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets.(根据西班牙的新计划，所有的中短途火车都是免费的——只要你买对了票——这为你提供了游览加泰罗尼亚、安达卢西亚和巴斯克地区的绝佳机会。如果购买多次旅行的车票，游客可以利用折扣，这些折扣是为了帮助人们应对生活成本危机而推出的)”可知，该计划可以促进旅游业发展；根据段中““I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.(一位高级官员表示：“我希望西班牙人民知道，我完全了解大多数人每天面临的困难。我知道工资越来越少，而且很难撑到月底。”该国交通运输部表示，在燃油价格持续大幅上涨的情况下，这项措施将帮助人们安全上班)”可知，该计划还可以让西班牙普通民众受益。由此推知，这一计划的目的是促进旅游业发展，造福西班牙人民。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.(尽管气候危机的严重性以及汽油和柴油汽车造成的损害，但英国政府尚未宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。相反，政府在3月份将燃油税下调了5%，为期12个月，鼓励更多的人开车)”可知，作者认为英国政府未能像西班牙、德国和奥地利一样降低公共交通价格，而且英国政府鼓励更多的人开车也与应对气候危机背道而驰。由此推知，作者对英国政府的做法持否定态度。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段“Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing ?9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just ?3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.(西班牙加入了德国的行列，开始降低公共交通价格，德国推出了一张9欧元的车票，从6月到8月底可以坐一个月的车。奥地利已经开始提供气候票，人们只需花3欧元就能完成旅程。去年该彩票首次推出时，其受欢迎程度几乎导致其网站崩溃。尽管气候危机严重，汽油和柴油汽车造成的破坏也很严重，但英国政府尚未宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。相反，政府在3月份将燃油税下调了5%，为期12个月，鼓励更多的人开车)”可知，本段主要介绍了其他国家在公共交通方面的做法，如德国降低了公共交通的价格，奥地利开始提供气候票，而英国政府却没有宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。由此可知，最后一段主要介绍了一些国家在公共交通方面的做法。故选D项。

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time staring at screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as tired eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content.
The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
The company discovered the system by accident. They were working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized they could read it if they sectioned it off. They worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and are still working to adjust it.
An early study was conducted but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. The best way to know if Bionic Reading helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
8. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading
A. To make online reading more interesting.
B. To figure out several online reading problems.
C. To improve online reading speed and understanding.
D. To study the effects of online reading on the brain.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The effect of current online reading.
B The creation story of Bionic Reading.
C. The advantages of Bionic Reading.
D. The principle of Bionic Reading.
10. What can we infer about Bionic Reading from the last paragraph
A. It only helps with foreign languages.
B. Its effect varies among different individuals.
C. It is better than traditional reading methods.
D. Research proves it works for everyone.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Online Reading Is Of Great Benefit
B. A New System Improves Online Reading
C. Traditional Reading Faces New Challenges
D. Bionic Reading Changes Our Reading Habits
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】

Organic (不使用化肥的) farmers produce food with least help from pesticides (杀虫剂), but in limiting the use of chemicals on their own land, they may be unknowingly causing an increase in pesticide use over their neighbour’s fence (栅栏).
Ashley Larsen at the University of California and her colleagues looked into land-use and pesticide data across 14,000 fields in Kern County, California. The researchers found that when organic farmland is surrounded by conventional (传统的) agriculture, neighbouring farmers seem to increase their pesticide use, with a 10% rise in organic cropland being linked to a 0.3% increase in total pesticide use on conventional fields. Most of this is driven by greater use of pesticides, the researchers found.
This may be because more insects tend to live on organic land and spill over into neighbouring fields, causing conventional farmers there to increase pesticide use, according to Larsen. The effect appears strongest when neighbouring fields are within 2.5 kilometres of the organic “focal field”.
However, the researchers noted that the presence of organic farmland is linked to a reduction in pesticide use on neighbouring organic fields, with a 10% increase in the area of nearby organic cropland being related to a 3% decrease in total pesticide use on organic focal fields. This may be because the larger area of organic farmland allows for a bigger and more stable (稳定的) community of beneficial insects.
When organic agriculture makes up a high rate of farmland—perhaps 20% or more—net pesticide use decreases no matter where the organic fields are sited, say the researchers. But when small areas of organic farmland—like in Kern County, where about 5.5% of agricultural land is organic—evenly spread through the landscape, net pesticide use may in fact be higher than when no organic farming is present.
However, this impact can be softened by bunching up organic farmland. Larsen said, “It might be worth considering how to encourage the concentration of new organic fields to basically take full advantage of its pest control benefits and limit the costs of being organic to conventional growers.
12. What’s the influence of organic farmland on neighbouring conventional fields
A. A decrease in production. B. An increase in pesticide use.
C. A decrease in insect population. D. An increase in beneficial insects.
13. What is key to reducing total pesticide use in an area according to paragraph 4
A. The stability and population of beneficial insects.
B. The farmers’ choice of crops to grow.
C. The location of the smallest organic farmland.
D. The population of organic farmers.
14. What does the underlined part “bunching up” in the last paragraph mean
A. Looking into. B. Clearing away. C. Setting up. D. Joining together.
15. What is the primary focus of the researchers’ study mentioned in the text
A. The economic impact of organic farming.
B. The environmental benefits of organic farming.
C. The relationship between organic farming and pesticide use.
D. The value of organic produce compared with the conventional.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章详细分析了有机农业对周围农田农药使用的影响，基于加州大学的研究数据，探讨了有机农场与周围传统农业区农药使用之间的关系。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers found that when organic farmland is surrounded by conventional (传统的) agriculture, neighbouring farmers seem to increase their pesticide use, with a 10% rise in organic cropland being linked to a 0.3% increase in total pesticide use on conventional fields.(研究人员发现，当有机农田被传统农业所包围时，邻近的农民似乎会增加他们的农药使用量，有机农田每增加10%，传统农田的农药使用量就会增加0.3%。)”可知，当有机农田被传统农业包围时，邻近的农民似乎会增加他们的农药使用，有机农田增加10%与常规农田农药总使用量增加0.3%相关。这意味着有机农田对邻近的常规农田产生了农药使用量增加的影响。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This may be because the larger area of organic farmland allows for a bigger and more stable (稳定的) community of beneficial insects.(这可能是因为有机农田的更大面积允许有更大和更稳定的有益昆虫群落。)”可知，在有机农田面积较大的情况下，有益昆虫的数量和稳定性增加，这有助于减少农药的使用。故选A。
14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Larsen said, “It might be worth considering how to encourage the concentration of new organic fields to basically take full advantage of its pest control benefits and limit the costs of being organic to conventional growers.( Larsen说：“也许值得考虑的是，如何鼓励新的有机农田集中种植，以充分利用其防治害虫的好处，并限制传统种植者种植有机作物的成本。”)”可知，Larsen建议可将有机农田集中种植。由此推测，划线单词的意思和“将……聚集一起”相似。选项A“Looking into(调查)”；选项B“Clearing away (清理)”；选项C“Setting up (建立)”；选项D“Joining together (聚集)”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Organic (不使用化肥的) farmers produce food with least help from pesticides (杀虫剂), but in limiting the use of chemicals on their own land, they may be unknowingly causing an increase in pesticide use over their neighbour’s fence (栅栏).(不使用化肥的农民在生产粮食时很少使用杀虫剂，但在限制自己土地上使用化学品的过程中，他们可能在不知不觉中导致了邻居栅栏上农药使用量的增加。)”可知，第一段就明确提出了不使用化肥的农民在限制自己土地上化学品使用的同时，可能无意中增加了邻居农田的农药使用量。接下来的段落进一步详细分析了这种关系，包括有机农田对周围传统农田农药使用量的影响，以及有机农田聚集在一起时如何减轻这种影响。因此，研究的主要焦点是有机农业与农药使用之间的关系。故选C。

47. 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。
There was a lively young boy named Jimmy who had a bit of an anger problem. He got angry very easily. Whenever something didn’t go his way, Jimmy would shout, stamp his feet, and say some mean words to people.
For example, one day at school, Jimmy’s classmate accidentally knocked over his lunch tray (托盘). Jimmy yelled at his classmate, ignoring the tray that had fallen to the floor, and stomped (迈着重重的步子走) angrily to the corner of the canteen. Another time, his little brother borrowed one of his favorite books without asking. When Jimmy found out, he screamed at his brother, seized the book back, and threw it across the room, which made his brother cry.
Such behavior worried his parents, who wanted to help Jimmy learn to control his temper (脾气). One night, they sat him down and handed him a special notebook and a set of colorful pens. “Jimmy,” his mother said, “every time you feel angry, I want you to write about it in this notebook. Write down what happened, how you felt, and what you did.” Jimmy thought this was a strange request. He looked at the notebook and pens. “Writing about my anger ” he thought. But he agreed.
The next day, when Jimmy was at school, his friend accidentally bumped (撞) into him, causing him to drop his books. Jimmy felt the familiar increase of anger rising inside him. He was just about to shout when he remembered the notebook in his backpack. He took it out, sat down, and began to write. He wrote about the bump, how it made him feel, and what he wanted to do. By the time he finished writing, he felt much calmer.
This continued every day. At first, his notebook filled up quickly with annoying incidents. But as the days passed, the notebook saw fewer and fewer intense stories. Jimmy found that writing down his feelings helped him to control his temper. By the end of the month, Jimmy noticed he was writing in his notebook less and less.
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。
One day, Jimmy realized he hadn’t written anything in the notebook all week and told it to his parents.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jimmy was surprised to be asked to write something positive in his notebook.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One day, Jimmy realized he hadn’t written anything in the notebook all week and told it to his parents. They smiled warmly, proud of the progress he had made. His father said, “That’s great, Jimmy! It means you’re learning to manage your anger.” Jimmy felt a sense of accomplishment, realizing how much he had grown. “Dear Jimmy, since you have no anger to write, why not write something positive in your notebook ” his mother said.
Jimmy was surprised to be asked to write something positive in his notebook. “Why ” he asked curiously. “Because,” his mother explained, “it’s important to celebrate the good times too. Write about things that make you happy or proud of yourself. It’ll help you focus on the positive aspects of life.” Jimmy nodded, understanding the wisdom in her words. From then on, his notebook became a place where he recorded both his struggles and his victories, helping him navigate through life with a balanced perspective.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩吉米易怒，常因小事发脾气。父母担忧，给他一本特殊笔记本和彩色笔，建议他每次生气时写下事发经过、感受和行动。吉米照做，逐渐发现记录情绪有助于控制脾气。随着时间推移，笔记本里记录的事情越来越少，吉米也发现自己发脾气的次数减少了。

The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program. People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.
Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.
Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing ?9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just ?3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash.

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time staring at screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as tired eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content.
The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
The company discovered the system by accident. They were working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized they could read it if they sectioned it off. They worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and are still working to adjust it.
An early study was conducted but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. The best way to know if Bionic Reading helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
8. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading
A. To make online reading more interesting.
B. To figure out several online reading problems.
C. To improve online reading speed and understanding.
D. To study the effects of online reading on the brain.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The effect of current online reading.
B The creation story of Bionic Reading.
C. The advantages of Bionic Reading.
D. The principle of Bionic Reading.
10. What can we infer about Bionic Reading from the last paragraph
A. It only helps with foreign languages.
B. Its effect varies among different individuals.
C. It is better than traditional reading methods.
D. Research proves it works for everyone.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Online Reading Is Of Great Benefit
B. A New System Improves Online Reading
C. Traditional Reading Faces New Challenges
D. Bionic Reading Changes Our Reading Habits
D
Organic (不使用化肥的) farmers produce food with least help from pesticides (杀虫剂), but in limiting the use of chemicals on their own land, they may be unknowingly causing an increase in pesticide use over their neighbour’s fence (栅栏).
Ashley Larsen at the University of California and her colleagues looked into land-use and pesticide data across 14,000 fields in Kern County, California. The researchers found that when organic farmland is surrounded by conventional (传统的) agriculture, neighbouring farmers seem to increase their pesticide use, with a 10% rise in organic cropland being linked to a 0.3% increase in total pesticide use on conventional fields. Most of this is driven by greater use of pesticides, the researchers found.
This may be because more insects tend to live on organic land and spill over into neighbouring fields, causing conventional farmers there to increase pesticide use, according to Larsen. The effect appears strongest when neighbouring fields are within 2.5 kilometres of the organic “focal field”.
However, the researchers noted that the presence of organic farmland is linked to a reduction in pesticide use on neighbouring organic fields, with a 10% increase in the area of nearby organic cropland being related to a 3% decrease in total pesticide use on organic focal fields. This may be because the larger area of organic farmland allows for a bigger and more stable (稳定的) community of beneficial insects.
When organic agriculture makes up a high rate of farmland—perhaps 20% or more—net pesticide use decreases no matter where the organic fields are sited, say the researchers. But when small areas of organic farmland—like in Kern County, where about 5.5% of agricultural land is organic—evenly spread through the landscape, net pesticide use may in fact be higher than when no organic farming is present.
However, this impact can be softened by bunching up organic farmland. Larsen said, “It might be worth considering how to encourage the concentration of new organic fields to basically take full advantage of its pest control benefits and limit the costs of being organic to conventional growers.
12. What’s the influence of organic farmland on neighbouring conventional fields
A. A decrease in production. B. An increase in pesticide use.
C A decrease in insect population. D. An increase in beneficial insects.
13. What is key to reducing total pesticide use in an area according to paragraph 4
A. The stability and population of beneficial insects.
B. The farmers’ choice of crops to grow.
C. The location of the smallest organic farmland.
D. The population of organic farmers.
14. What does the underlined part “bunching up” in the last paragraph mean
A. Looking into. B. Clearing away. C. Setting up. D. Joining together.
15. What is the primary focus of the researchers’ study mentioned in the text
A. The economic impact of organic farming.
B. The environmental benefits of organic farming.
C. The relationship between organic farming and pesticide use.
D The value of organic produce compared with the conventional.

47. 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。
There was a lively young boy named Jimmy who had a bit of an anger problem. He got angry very easily. Whenever something didn’t go his way, Jimmy would shout, stamp his feet, and say some mean words to people.
For example, one day at school, Jimmy’s classmate accidentally knocked over his lunch tray (托盘). Jimmy yelled at his classmate, ignoring the tray that had fallen to the floor, and stomped (迈着重重的步子走) angrily to the corner of the canteen. Another time, his little brother borrowed one of his favorite books without asking. When Jimmy found out, he screamed at his brother, seized the book back, and threw it across the room, which made his brother cry.
Such behavior worried his parents, who wanted to help Jimmy learn to control his temper (脾气). One night, they sat him down and handed him a special notebook and a set of colorful pens. “Jimmy,” his mother said, “every time you feel angry, I want you to write about it in this notebook. Write down what happened, how you felt, and what you did.” Jimmy thought this was a strange request. He looked at the notebook and pens. “Writing about my anger ” he thought. But he agreed.
The next day, when Jimmy was at school, his friend accidentally bumped (撞) into him, causing him to drop his books. Jimmy felt the familiar increase of anger rising inside him. He was just about to shout when he remembered the notebook in his backpack. He took it out, sat down, and began to write. He wrote about the bump, how it made him feel, and what he wanted to do. By the time he finished writing, he felt much calmer.
This continued every day. At first, his notebook filled up quickly with annoying incidents. But as the days passed, the notebook saw fewer and fewer intense stories. Jimmy found that writing down his feelings helped him to control his temper. By the end of the month, Jimmy noticed he was writing in his notebook less and less.
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。
One day, Jimmy realized he hadn’t written anything in the notebook all week and told it to his parents.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jimmy was surprised to be asked to write something positive in his notebook.
