【原文】Good morning. I am Bradley, assistant to the director James. He is very busy at the moment preparing for the next scene, so if you have any questions, come to me rather than him. Trust me, I’m much more approachable. I believe for many of you this is the first time, so I’m going to give you a couple of tips and then explain what today’s plan is. For background actors, you want to make it look like you are talking and having a nice time, so smile. But, when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The microphones on set are very sensitive, so don’t actually speak, just mouth the words. For this scene, several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three — Jack, Luke, and David, can you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms The rest of you, let’s go to the make-up truck and get you all pretty.

During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos.
As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Ni a weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being.
I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives.
I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed.
I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze.
24. What is the author’s new perception of photography
A. It involves professional skills. B. It should carry deep meanings.
C. It requires high-end equipment. D. It should produce beautiful pictures.
25. What inspired the author to create Blaze
A. Local environmental changes. B. Traditional Australian farming.
C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D. Support from the local authority.
26. Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze
A. B. C. D.
27. What is the photo Blaze intended to be
A. A means of enhancing artistic taste. B. A strategy to beautify the landscape.
C. A call to raise public awareness. D. A window to showcase local culture.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
C
Planetary geoarchaeology (地质考古学), the study of how cultural and natural processes on Earth’s moon, on Mars, and throughout the solar system may be changing, preserving, or erasing the material record of space exploration, has been proposed by two researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas and their colleagues as a new scientific subfield.
“Until recently, we might consider the material left behind during the space race of the mid-20th century as relatively safe, "said Justin Holcomb, researcher at the Kansas Geological Survey. “However, the material record that currently exists on the moon is rapidly becoming at risk of being destroyed if proper attention isn’t paid during the new space era.”
Applying geoarchaeological tools and methods to the movement of people into space and the solar system is a natural extension of the study of human migration on Earth, the focus of the ODYSSEY Archaeological Research Program directed by Holcomb’s co-author, Rolfe Mandel.
How planetary geoarchaeologists will determine whether an item is worth preserving is an open question. “We feel that all material currently existing on extraterrestrial (地球外的) surfaces is space heritage and worthy of protection, ”Holcomb said. “However, some sites, such as the very first footprints on the moon represent the material footprint of a long history of migration. ”Beyond those“firsts”, making decisions on a case-by-case basis will be necessary to sort through the tens of thousands of pieces of debris (残骸) now in orbit or dropped across the surfaces of the moon and Mars, which many people refer to as “trash” but Holcomb and his colleagues see as heritage.
Holcomb thinks geoarchaeologists ought to be a part of upcoming NASA missions to ensure the security and preservation of space history. As for being part of a space mission himself “I’ll leave that to other geoarchaeologists,” Holcomb said. “There’s plenty to do down here, but I do hope to see an archaeologist in space before it’s all over.”
28. Why has planetary geoarchaeology been proposed
A. To protect space heritage. B. To study the solar system.
C. To resist space exploration. D. To found a scientific field.
29. What do we know about the material record of space
A. It threatens the movement of people into space.
B. It is the main focus of the ODYSSEY Program.
C. It shows the whole process of human migration.
D. It is not as safe as expected in the new space era.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The methods of classifying space trash. B. The first footprints on the moon and Mars.
C. The question of planetary geoarchaeologists. D. The discussion on identifying space heritage.
31. What does Holcomb suggest other geoarchaeologists do
A Learn from scientists like him. B. Lead upcoming NASA missions.
C. Participate in space exploration. D. Ensure the security of astronauts.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. C
D
Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking(懈怠的), you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance(不满). But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.
In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.
The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation(愤慨), it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.
32. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ___________.
A. making a conclusion B. justifying an assumption
C. explaining a phenomenon D. making a comparison
33. The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph 1) implies that __________.
A. monkeys are also outraged by slack rivals
B. feeling angry about unfairness is also monkeys’ nature
C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other
D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions
34. Dr. Brosnan and Dr. De Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys _________.
A. prefer grapes to cucumbers
B. can be taught to exchange things
C. will not be co-operation if feeling cheated
D. are unhappy when separated from others
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.
B. Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source.
C. Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.
D. Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B

Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.
___37___ It was closed for redecoration. Unluckily, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuktuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no clue where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of power.
___38___ He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. ___39___ For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him.

Dear Mr. Green,
I am writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room. Among the three options, I prefer Logo 1, “Open a Book, Open a World.”
This design captures the essence of reading. The image of an open book combined with a globe and an eye symbolizes how reading opens our minds and broadens our horizons. Additionally, the logo is visually appealing and easy to recognize. It will connect well with students and encourage them to engage with the reading room.
I truly hope my suggestion is considered, as this logo best reflects the purpose of the reading room. Thank you, and I’m looking forward to the final decision.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Mr. Green,
I’m excited to share my thoughts on the logo design for the English Literature Reading Room. Of the three options, I believe Logo 2, “Read to Succeed,” stands out as my favorite.
This design highlights the connection between reading and success. The upward arrow, trophy, and graphs symbolize progress, achievement, and personal growth through reading. It sends a powerful message that reading can help them achieve their goals. Moreover, the design is modern and inspiring, which I believe will encourage students to make the most of the reading room.
It would mean a lot to me if my suggestion is accepted, as I feel this logo will inspire students to strive for success. Thank you and I eagerly await the final outcome.
Yours,

第二节 (满分25分)
82. 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’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.
One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket.
When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold.
If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes.
The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything.
Paragraph 2:
“You actually knew and didn’t say anything ” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood.
