Hitting on the idea of gifting books to guests at her local food bank, Emily Rhodes, a London-based writer, founded Bookbanks, a charity, joining forces with Britain’s food banks. She aims to encourage ties and feed conversations by serving up books to read, borrow or keep for the whole community. “I was very aware of books being this powerful tool,” Rhodes says. “There’s another side to books that makes them amazing community builders. Nobody should have to choose whether to ‘feed or read’.”
Reading enthusiastically as a child Rhodes went on to study English and kept reading at university and worked in publishing and bookselling before breaking into journalism. She set up Emily’s Walking Book Club over a decade ago, and still runs the monthly meetup in Hampstead Heath in London, as well as working as a book critic for the likes of The Guardian and The Spectator.
Starting out with a table loaded with donated books, Rhodes says the effect was surprising. “On that first day there were 35 guests accessing the food bank, and I gave out 50 books. Everybody flooded to the table. There was an instant conversation that began with books and went into other places fast, and the newly formed conversation would last over 10 minutes. So far 2,750 books have been given away.”
The concept’s success, however, is measured from other angles. It’s also about recasting going to the food bank as a pleasing thing instead of a difficult, or even potentially shameful, chore (麻烦事). “People are often in low spirits and there’s a lot of waiting,” Rhodes explains. “Bookbanks changes the balance of how people think about that space and turns it into something more hopeful.” Reviews from users speak volumes. “I take books home to read with my son. It’s the best time; we are quiet together,” says Yusuf.
4. Why did Rhodes set up Bookbanks
A. To encourage kids’ reading,
B. To combine education with food.
C To explore the power of books.
D. To strengthen community bonds.
5. What can we learn about Rhodes from paragraph 2
A. She’s involved with books through her life.
B. She started her career as a journalist.
C. She’s been gifted in writing since childhood.
D. She keeps a sharp eye on the book industry.
6. What do the figures show in paragraph 3
A. Interaction is more wanted than thoughts.
B. More people prefer books to food.
C. Bookbanks has been well-received.
D. Books of Bookbanks are in short supply.
7. How does Bookbanks affect people going to the food bank
A. It raises their hopes in tough times.
B. It makes their visits positive experiences.
C. It improves their family relationships.
D It changes their attitude towards books.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B

Autonomous systems like self-driving cars and robots are becoming more common, and their integration promises to transform industries by increasing efficiency and safety. However, they often fail to see and work well in different environments — like rainy days, low light, or complex backgrounds, because in these cases their sensors are affected. Interestingly, nature may have already shown how to deal with that.
Now, scientists have designed a new vision system for robots, enhancing object detection and recognition. The cat’s eye caught their attention due to cats’ excellent vision in both light and darkness. During the day, a cat’s pupil is a vertical slit-like (垂直狭缝状的) shape that reduces bright unpleasant lights to help focus. At night, the pupil widens to let in more light, with a surface enhancing the cat’s vision by reflecting visible light back. Similarly, the new system includes a slit-like opening design that helps block out unnecessary light and single out key objects in bright conditions, and then uses a surface similar to that of cats’ eyes to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Robotic cameras often have difficulty in spotting objects in busy or complex backgrounds, especially with changing lighting. The new design successfully makes background objects blurred. It allows robots to ignore unnecessary details and focus on targets. Scientists also use a brain-like learning network to help the system better identify important objects. The vision system is more energy efficient as it relies on a specialized instrument rather than substantial computer processing.
This groundbreaking technology unlocks exciting possibilities for real-world applications, transforming robotic vision and letting autonomous systems skillfully navigate (有效应对) complex environments and undertake tasks with great accuracy. From search and rescue operations to industrial monitoring, these cutting-edge robotic eyes stand ready to complement or even replace human efforts in a variety of critical scenes.
8. What does the author say about autonomous systems in paragraph 1
A. Their sensor plays the most vital part.
B. Their efficiency affects the safety.
C. They perform poorly in bad conditions.
D. They keep changing based on nature.
9. How does the new system enhance visibility at night
A. By reflecting back visible light.
B. By narrowing the slit-like opening.
C. By absorbing surrounding light.
D. By integrating computer processing.
10. What does the underlined word “blurred” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Distinct. B. Colorless. C. Regular. D. Unclear.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. New Discovery About Secrets of Cats’ Eyes
B. Cat-inspired Solution to Robot Vision Problem
C. Sensor Breakthrough in Autonomous Systems
D. Nature-based Technology for Nighttime Use
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
D
2024 was the hottest year on record, yet it might also be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life due to a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome (基线漂移综合征).
This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines.
“The last two years have been kind of supercharged,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out.” In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases.” Along with the rise, scientists expect we’ll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires.
In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.
“Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis,” says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, “people aren’t necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do.” If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.”
12. What does shifting baseline syndrome lead to
A. Doubt about historical climate patterns.
B. Inattention to the environmental decline.
C. Acceptance of new societal standards.
D. Concern about extreme weather events.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The increase of climate disasters.
B. The effect of global warming.
C. Consequences of human activities.
D. Causes of the rising temperatures.
14. Why were the studies of shifting baselines conducted in low-income countries
A. They can avoid shifting baseline syndrome.
B. They rarely notice changing climate patterns.
C. They’re more affected by climate change.
D. They’re adaptable to environmental problems.
15. What does Adam Aron suggest
A. Promoting green energy initiatives.
B. Using social norms to drive action,
C. Strengthening government regulations.
D. Developing more protective approaches.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B

【答案】Dear Jim
Delighted to know that you are fascinated by our activity called “Learning From Farmers”, I’m writing to tell you some relevant details.
Last Friday, we joined in the activity organized by our school. Upon arriving at the farm, we were deeply attracted by the local rural landscape. Under the precise instruction of experienced farmers, we learned to perform various tasks such as helping the owner of a farm to plant trees, sowing seeds in rows and feeding ducks. Contentment replaced the tiredness when we completed the tasks.
Everyone of us considered the activity both meaningful and rewarding, for we not only gained knowledge of farming but also had a better understanding of nature.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
The sun was shining brightly during our PE class as we ran laps around the busy sports ground. With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field’s edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted at a strange angle.
“Hey, guys! Come here!” I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. “We need to help it,” said Sarah. We all agreed. Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak.
We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr. Johnson. “Mr. Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt,” I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. “Let me call the school nurse Mrs. Thompson,” he said.
Before Mrs. Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时扭架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr. Johnson’s direction. A moment later, Mrs. Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath, “It looks like it has a broken leg,” she said. “We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately.” Mr. Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs. Thompson took the kitten to the vet.
The rest of the day was a blur. We could only think about the kitten, hoping it would be fine.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Before the school was over, Mr. Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Before the school was over, Mr. Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face. “Good news, everyone! The kitten is going to be okay,” he announced. We all cheered, relief washing over us. He explained that the vet had set the kitten’s broken leg and given it some medicine. “The kitten is now stable and on the way to recovery,” he added. We were so happy to hear that. Some of us even started planning how we could continue to help the little creature. We decided that we would visit the kitten at the animal hospital during the weekend.
In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. It was no longer scared or weak. Instead, it was playing around in its little cage, its eyes bright and full of life. The vet told us that the kitten had responded well to the treatment and would soon be ready for adoption. We were all excited about the idea of finding a good home for it. We talked to the vet about the process and decided to put up posters around the school to find a loving family for the kitten. With hope in our hearts, we knew that this little kitten’s future was going to be bright.2025年聊城市高考模拟试题

She aims to encourage ties and feed conversations by serving up books to read, borrow or keep for the whole community. “I was very aware of books being this powerful tool,” Rhodes says. “There’s another side to books that makes them amazing community builders. Nobody should have to choose whether to ‘feed or read’.”
Reading enthusiastically as a child Rhodes went on to study English and kept reading at university and worked in publishing and bookselling before breaking into journalism. She set up Emily’s Walking Book Club over a decade ago, and still runs the monthly meetup in Hampstead Heath in London, as well as working as a book critic for the likes of The Guardian and The Spectator.
Starting out with a table loaded with donated books, Rhodes says the effect was surprising. “On that first day there were 35 guests accessing the food bank, and I gave out 50 books. Everybody flooded to the table. There was an instant conversation that began with books and went into other places fast, and the newly formed conversation would last over 10 minutes. So far 2,750 books have been given away.”
The concept’s success, however, is measured from other angles. It’s also about recasting going to the food bank as a pleasing thing instead of a difficult, or even potentially shameful, chore (麻烦事). “People are often in low spirits and there’s a lot of waiting,” Rhodes explains. “Bookbanks changes the balance of how people think about that space and turns it into something more hopeful.” Reviews from users speak volumes. “I take books home to read with my son. It’s the best time; we are quiet together,” says Yusuf.

Autonomous systems like self-driving cars and robots are becoming more common, and their integration promises to transform industries by increasing efficiency and safety. However, they often fail to see and work well in different environments — like rainy days, low light, or complex backgrounds, because in these cases their sensors are affected. Interestingly, nature may have already shown how to deal with that.
Now, scientists have designed a new vision system for robots, enhancing object detection and recognition. The cat’s eye caught their attention due to cats’ excellent vision in both light and darkness. During the day, a cat’s pupil is a vertical slit-like (垂直狭缝状的) shape that reduces bright unpleasant lights to help focus. At night, the pupil widens to let in more light, with a surface enhancing the cat’s vision by reflecting visible light back. Similarly, the new system includes a slit-like opening design that helps block out unnecessary light and single out key objects in bright conditions, and then uses a surface similar to that of cats’ eyes to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Robotic cameras often have difficulty in spotting objects in busy or complex backgrounds, especially with changing lighting. The new design successfully makes background objects blurred. It allows robots to ignore unnecessary details and focus on targets. Scientists also use a brain-like learning network to help the system better identify important objects. The vision system is more energy efficient as it relies on a specialized instrument rather than substantial computer processing.
This groundbreaking technology unlocks exciting possibilities for real-world applications, transforming robotic vision and letting autonomous systems skillfully navigate (有效应对) complex environments and undertake tasks with great accuracy. From search and rescue operations to industrial monitoring, these cutting-edge robotic eyes stand ready to complement or even replace human efforts in a variety of critical scenes.

2024 was the hottest year on record, yet it might also be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life due to a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome (基线漂移综合征).
This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines.
“The last two years have been kind of supercharged,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out.” In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases.” Along with the rise, scientists expect we’ll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires.
In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.
“Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis,” says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, “people aren’t necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do.” If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.”
12. What does shifting baseline syndrome lead to
A. Doubt about historical climate patterns.
B. Inattention to the environmental decline.
C. Acceptance of new societal standards.
D. Concern about extreme weather events.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The increase of climate disasters.
B. The effect of global warming.
C. Consequences of human activities.
D. Causes of the rising temperatures.
14. Why were the studies of shifting baselines conducted in low-income countries
A. They can avoid shifting baseline syndrome.
B. They rarely notice changing climate patterns.
C. They’re more affected by climate change.
D. They’re adaptable to environmental problems.
15. What does Adam Aron suggest
A. Promoting green energy initiatives.
B. Using social norms to drive action,
C. Strengthening government regulations.
D. Developing more protective approaches.

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。
The sun was shining brightly during our PE class as we ran laps around the busy sports ground. With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field’s edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted at a strange angle.
“Hey, guys! Come here!” I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. “We need to help it,” said Sarah. We all agreed. Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak.
We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr. Johnson. “Mr. Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt,” I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. “Let me call the school nurse Mrs. Thompson,” he said.
Before Mrs. Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时扭架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr. Johnson’s direction. A moment later, Mrs. Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath, “It looks like it has a broken leg,” she said. “We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately.” Mr. Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs. Thompson took the kitten to the vet.
The rest of the day was a blur. We could only think about the kitten, hoping it would be fine.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
