【24】细节理解题。根据第一段“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his
house, observing how nature solved problems. A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after
flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to
wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.(当约翰·托德还是个孩
1
子的时候,他喜欢探索房子周围的树林,观察大自然是如何解决问题的。例如,一条肮脏的小溪流
经植物和微小生物居住的岩石后,往往变得清澈。长大后,约翰开始思考这个过程是否可以用来清
理人们制造的混乱)”以及第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John
went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)
Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals (在大学学习了农业、医学和渔业之后,约翰又
回到了观察自然和提出问题的生活中。为什么某些植物能捕获有害细菌?哪些鱼类会食用致癌化学
物质?)”可知,约翰聪颖好学、好奇心很强。故选 C。

内,它就被消化了,只剩下纯净水)”可知,约翰把污泥放进罐子里为了测试生态机器。故选 D。
【26】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a
greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水 ) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also
designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.(这些年来,约翰承担
了许多重大工作。他开发了一个类似温室的设施,可以处理来自南伯灵顿 1600户家庭的污水。他
还设计了一种生态机器来清洁中国东南部城市福州的运河水)”可推知,作者提到福州的目的是展示
约翰想法的应用。故选 B。
【27】推理判断题。根据最后一段 “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s
happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.(你把生物体放在新的

自然可以自我修复。故选 A。
C
【篇章导读】本文是一篇议论文,通过引述荷兰作者的新书《出行之道》,批评了城市街道设计过
度服务汽车、忽视行人尤其是儿童出行安全的问题,呼呼人们重新思考街道的功能,建设适宜居民
生活的城市环境。
2
【28】C 细节理解题。由第一段中的"declines in pedestrian mobility, especially among young children
"及"parents pack them into the car instead"可知,行人(尤其儿童)步行减少而汽车使用增加,即"人们
步行更少、开车更多"(People walk less and drive more),故选 C项。
【29】A 细节理解题。 由第三段中加拿大记者 Jane Jacobs呼吁市长将纽约打造为"a decent place to
live"(宜居之地)并反对修建高速路可知,她与其他抗议者的核心目标是"保持城市宜居性”(Keep their
cities livable),故选 A项。
【30】 B 推理判断题。 由第四段首句"the majority of western cities were completely redesigned
around the needs of the motor car"及澳大利亚汽车拥有率全球领先的数据可知,尽管发生过抗议,城
市规划仍以汽车为中心,即这些运动"基本未奏效"(turned out largely ineffective).故选 B项,
【31】A 标题归纳题。全文围绕汽车文化导致的"匆忙通行"(rush through)展开批判,末段直指问题
核心"Do we recognise what it costs.. "(我们是否意识到代价 ),A项"Why the Rush "(为何匆忙 )以设
问形式点明主旨,故选 A项。

【篇章导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了微塑料污染的普遍性及其对人类健康的潜在威胁,并提出
了一种简单且经济的方法煮沸和过滤自来水来减少饮用水中的微塑料含量。研究还指出,水的硬度
(碳酸钙含量)是影响该方法效果的关键因素。文章强调微塑料污染问题的严峻性,并呼吁进一步升
级饮用水处理厂,以应对微塑料污染问题。
【32】 C 细节理解题。由第一段中的"Microplastics have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas,
stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They
are even appearing inside humans." 可知,作者通过列举具体的例子,展示了微塑料污染的广泛性,
涉及海洋、喜马拉雅山、火山岩、海鸟的胃和人类体内等多个地方。由此可见,作者通过实例来引
入这个话题。故选 C。
【33】 A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium
carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of
calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent" 可知,水的硬度 (即水中钙碳
酸盐的含量)决定了去除微塑料的效果。硬水“中的钙碳酸盐含量越高,去除微塑料的效果越好。因
此,水的硬度是决定去除微塑料效果的关键因素。故选 A。
【34】B 推理判断题。根据第四段中提到"Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains
10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.".可以推测,作者提到瓶装水是为了凸显
3
微塑料问题的严重性。瓶装水被认为是相对纯净的水源,但却也含有大量微塑料,这进一步证明了
微塑料污染的普遍性和危害性。故选 B。
【35】 D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中"we should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment
plants so they remove microplastics."可知,Gauchotte-Lindsay建议应当改进饮用水处理厂,以去除水
中的微塑料。因此,她的建议是关于研究成果潜在应用的方向,具体来说,是应用于改善饮用水处
理工艺。故选 D。

(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是:“如果你知
道有人在健身房等你,你就会去锻炼。”)”可知,这里陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由。所以选择

果你打算在健身房锻炼,那个人一定是同一个健身房的。)”可知,寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的
特点。所以选择项 B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近。
4
)”符合上下文语境。故选 B。

炼,每周多少天,每次培训要花多少小时,以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动,并
提供了她的电话号码。)”可知,本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例,说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括
的信息。所以选择项 G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙
伴的布告都应包括这些信息。)”符合上下文语境。故选 G。
【40】根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的
技能。)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit -- your partner will be able to lift more weights and
you will become more physically fit.(久而久之,你们双方都会受益——你的伴侣会举起更多的重量,
你也会变得更健康。)”可知,要学会求同存异,一起合作,共同提高。所以选择项 F“Just accept your
differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同,学会彼此合作。)”符合上下文语境。

文称为“围棋”),它起源 4000多年前的中国。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词为 Go, or

Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday.
We were tasked to draw or paint something that impressed us most. Inspired by the fantastic scenery,
I decided to create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park’s pond, surrounded by
blooming flowers.
The entire experience was incredibly refreshing. Being surrounded by nature not only sparked my
creativity but also offered a much-needed break from the usual hustle and bustle of school life. I felt a
deep sense of peace as I painted.
In a word, It was not just an art class; it was a moment of connection with nature that I truly
cherished.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分 25分)
I realized it was me who was at fault. I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that
I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time. My pride had kept
me from reaching out, and now months had passed without a proper conversation. One evening, I picked
up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet. To
my relief, he called back the next day, and we agreed to get together soon.
With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised
smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since
before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box
of biscuits. “Thank you,” he said quietly. We talked for hours, laughing, remembering old times, and
slowly rebuilding what had been lost. As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew
we were finally on the path to healing.

Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel ( 旅 社 ). The
hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in

without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace

area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature
solved problems. A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along
rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used
to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and
asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌 ) Which kinds of fish can eat
cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could
clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he
constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds
and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by
little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few
weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and
began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
2
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated
sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal
water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare
parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.
Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
24. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.
25. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
27. What is the basis for John’s work
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
C
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies
also show declines in pedestrian(行人 ) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say
there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the
car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Br mmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their
new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of
our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make
way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most
famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a
campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with
3
an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor(市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live,
and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were
completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been
increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty - six million
people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we
really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities
The authors of Movement have it right: it's time to think differently about that street outside your front
door.
28.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
29. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
30. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why the Rush B. What's Next C. Where to Stay D. Who to Blame
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in
the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even
fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.

Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of
microplastics in water from your tap(水龙头 ): boiling and filtering(过滤 ) it. In a study published
Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling
tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its
microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate(碳酸钙) to trap the
plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost
90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling
reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn't include all types of
plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene
— and they didn't study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that's
becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000
times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has
raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they
demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice," Caroline Gauchotte
- Lindsay, an environmental engineer at the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in
the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants
so they remove microplastics.”
32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
33. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
35. What is Gauchotte - Lindsay's suggestion about
5
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.

An exhibition at the Jiushi Art Museum in Shanghai is featuring artwork inspired by Go, or weiqi in
Chinese, 56 originated in China more than 4,000 years ago.
Go is one of 57 earliest binary-based (基于二元的) games. The movements of the
black and white pieces reflect the basic ideas of Eastern philosophy, according to Tu Ningning, who is in
charge of the exhibition.
“The exhibition brings together Go culture, cutting-edge technology and contemporary art,” says Tu.
“We hope 58 (present)the rather abstract Go game and AI in a visual context, and initiate
dialogues with minimalist art, conceptual art and expressionism.”
8
“In a Go game, each move should serve a long-term goal. You try to lead the opponent into your trap
and force them to follow your 59 (guide) till they lose,” explains Wang Wei, a Go player
among the visitors to the exhibition.
“The players’ personalities 60 (reveal) during the game, and one’s weaknesses are
exposed to the opponent,” she adds. “A decent winner always 61 (try) to beat the opponent
62 no more than one or two points as a gesture (姿态) of respect for the other side. ”
Tu says that the balance between the black and white pieces, the beauty in the 63
(strategy) placement of the pieces, 64 the energy flow following each move inspired artists
to create oil paintings, sculptures, 65 (digital) generated pictures and silk-screen prints for
the exhibition.

My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in
the early summer. She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order.
There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on:
My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock
over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I
asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside.
My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the
backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started
to rain and everyone went indoors.
It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother
wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force
the issue.
A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes
for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he
was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I
reasoned.
Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he
should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s
shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier.
Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going.
