A
Power of Public Speaking has partnered with ASI Innovation Labs to integrate artificial intelligence into the Pops Classroom platform for improving public speaking skills. The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback.
The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress.
Criteria
Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria:
Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion
Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility
Feedback
The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats:
Recommendations
To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening.”
Speech Metrics (指标)
Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage.
Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course. When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester, Advisor increases the overall development.
21. What is the Pops Advisor
A. An evaluation tool. B. A time tracker. C. A video player. D. A voice assistant.
22. Which of the following categories provides feedback on facial expressions
A. Body. B. Delivery. C. Conclusion. D. Introduction.
23. Who is the text intended for
A. Lab technicians. B. Foreign language learners.
C. Artificial Intelligence engineers. D. Public speech instructors.
B
I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It’s a special tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of people nearby. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also gives off a chemical substance as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several plants. There have been many new plants that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they died.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important since they attract beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of moving this giant pain out of my tiny backyard Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before the sun rises. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut tree offers cover to wildlife and a reminder to me.
24. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden
A. To protect the injured skull. B. To avoid being hit by the nuts.
C. To prevent herself from sunburn. D. To protect herself from falling over.
25. What is the tree’s survival strategy
A. It accepts new plant varieties. B. It attracts beneficial pollinators.
C. It lets out poison to drive away pests. D. It produces a chemical deadly to some plants.
26. What is the writer’s attitude towards the walnut tree
A. Pleased. B. Conflicted. C. Curious. D. Disapproving.
27. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.
A. It’s better to accept than to resist B. It’s better to act than to think
C. It’s better to compete than to give up. D. It’s better to protect than to destroy.
C
Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person.
The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticise the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.”
Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood.
Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To raise an issue. B. To describe a study.
C. To explain the causes. D. To offer the solutions.
29. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. Public approval. B. Unconditional love. C. Independent growth. D. Honest self-expression.
30. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3
A. The parent praises the child in public. B. The child tries to win others’ approval.
C. The parent relies on the child for support. D. The child avoids setting any boundaries.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Distance ensures safety. B. Self-care is the final step.
C. healing requires parental effort. D. Support exists beyond the family.
D
Amid mounting global plastic pollution — a crisis worsened by 400 million tons of annual waste, 46% of which are single-use PET plastics — researchers have engineered PETase Plus, a bioengineered enzyme (酶) capable of degrading PET polymers (聚合物) 90% faster than natural enzymes. Published in Nature Biotechnology, this breakthrough, achieved through multinational cooperation, could redefine waste management by transforming non-recyclable plastics into reusable raw materials. Yet, its significance extends far beyond laboratories, sparking heated debates among scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists.
Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions. By degrading PET’s molecular bonds, it breaks down plastics into base components that can be re-integrated into high-quality products or even biofuels. According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.”
However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm. Dr. Emily Carter, a biochemist, warns, “Engineered enzymes released into landfills or oceans might also degrade natural polymers, destabilizing soil structures or marine ecosystems. Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster.”
Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption. Environmental advocates insist plastic manufacturers — responsible for 70% of global PET production — should fund large-scale application of the technology. However, industry leaders argue that governments must provide financial support to encourage innovation. Meanwhile, developing nations, where waste management system is underdeveloped, view PETase Plus as a potential lifeline, though fears spread that wealthy countries might not share the technology.
As research advances, PETase Plus is facing a challenge: a scientific success shadowed by ethical and ecological dilemmas. Its success relies not merely on biochemical efficiency but on multi-party cooperation to balance innovation with caring for our planet.
32. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of PETase Plus over traditional recycling methods
A. It reduces the cost by 60%.
B. It removes the need for industrial funding.
C. It produces biofuels straight from plastic waste.
D. It functions effectively at relatively low temperatures.
33. What concern do critics emphasize about PETase Plus
A. Its funding resource is still not clear. B. It may disturb natural ecosystems.
C. It requires expensive lab equipment. D. Its mechanism is not yet understood.
34. Why does the author quote Dr. Emily Carter
A. To stress the necessity for ecological regulations.
B. To question the enzyme’s degradation efficiency.
C. To advocate for industry-led innovation.
D. To highlight the technical limitations of PETase Plus.
35. What can be a possible result of the future application of PETase Plus
A. Ecological risks will be removed.
B. Governments will cease funding traditional recycling.
C. Ethical conflicts might prevent its widespread application.
D. Developing nations will reject the technology due to high costs.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The post-lunch History lesson with Mr. Davies had a distinct specific quality, the air thick with the warmth of thirty bodies and the deep voice of a detailed analysis of the Corn Laws. The battlefield of attention had been lost, and sleep was the silent victor, claiming its subjects one by one in a series of strategical positions.
Directly in front of Mr. Davies’s desk sat Caleb, a master of the “Upright Nap.” 36 His textbook was open, and his pen was even held loosely in hand. The only betrayal was the utter stillness of that pen and the slow, rhythmic dip of his head, followed by a sudden, barely perceptible jerk back to alertness.
Further back, Liam had perfected the “Prop and Drop.” He was supported entirely on his left elbow, his hand cradling his forehead, fingers splayed through his hair as if in deep concentration or frustration with the economic policies. 37 From the front, he looked like a diligent student struggling with complex material. From the side, his closed eyes and the soft, steady sigh of his breath told the true story.
Then there was the duo in the corner, Sarah and Ben, practitioners of the “Human Shield.” Sarah, sitting closer to the aisle, had created a defensive wall with her own body, bending forward over her desk to create a hidden sleep for Ben behind her. Ben was in the “Full-Surrender” position: head pillowed on his folded arms, face turned completely away from the light. 38
Mr. Davies, of course, was not entirely fooled. He was a veteran of this silent war. He continued his lecture, pacing slowly, his voice a steady river flowing around these islands of sleep. He knew that a sudden shout would startle them, but it would also shatter the fragile peace for the few students still fearlessly taking notes. 39 He would pause mid-sentence near a sleeper, or gently tap a finger joint on their desk as he passed, sending a ripple of subtle panic that would bring them swimming back to consciousness for a few precious minutes.
40 The clock ticked slowly towards the bell. In the quiet classroom, the only sounds were Mr. Davies’s monologue and the soft, rhythmic breathing of his sleeping troop, each lost in a dream far more irresistible than the price of corn.
A. For now, a restful ceasefire held.
B. Instead, he employed psychological warfare.
C. Their combined efforts turned the class into a silent, secret laboratory.
D. He woke with a jolt to the sound of the bell, his cheek sticky on the desk.
E. His posture was perfect, spine straight, chin slightly raised as if considering a profound point.
F. He was the most asleep, utterly committed to his escape, protected by the sacrificial snoozing of his friend.
G. His entire body was angled away from the teacher’s patrol route, a human fortress against inquiry.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The Scholarship Jacket
Each year, my school awarded a green and gold scholarship jacket to the top graduate with the highest grades over eight years. As a straight-A student since my first year, I was determined to win it. Raised by my grandparents on a small farm, money was always tight — we simply could not afford fees or trips for any sports events. I knew the sports jacket was out of my reach, so the scholarship jacket was my only chance.
However, one afternoon, I accidentally overheard my teachers arguing in the classroom. Mr. Smith was angrily defending my academic record, “Martha deserves the jacket!” Yet, Mr. Bonne responded calmly, “But Joan’s father is on the) Board. We could say it was a close tie and...” The rest of his words were drowned out by the pounding in my ears. I stood frozen, feeling my dream shatter in the face of cruel injustice.
The next day, the principal called me in. Avoiding eye contact, he awkwardly explained a new “policy” to me: the Board would charge fifteen dollars for the jacket this year. “If you can’t pay,” he declared, “it will go to the next one in line.” Shocked as I was, I refused to give in without a word. Mustering all my dignity, I replied, “I’ll speak to my grandpa and let you know tomorrow.”
Grandpa was working in the bean field when I found him. Voice shaky, I blurted out the news about the fifteen-dollar fee. “I have to take the money tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be given to someone else.”
Grandpa paused, straightened his weary back, and rested his chin on the hoe (锄头) handle. He gazed at the green shoots before turning to me. “What does a scholarship jacket mean ” he asked quietly.
“It means you’ve earned it by having the highest grades for eight years,” I answered without hesitation.
“Then if you pay for it, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it ” Grandpa said, driving his hoe firmly into the soil. “Tell your principal I won’t pay.”
I walked back to the house and locked myself in the bathroom for a long time. I was angry with the Board for changing the rule; and I was angry with grandfather even though I knew he was right.

【原文】
W: We are so pleased to have you on campus, sir. My fellow classmates and I can’t wait to hear about your trip to the moon.
M: Sure, and thank you for leading this question-and-answer period. So, the moon’s gravity (重力) is only 16% of the gravity we experience on the Earth. If you weigh 60 kilograms here, you’ll only weigh about 10 kilograms on the moon.
W: Unbelievable! How did walking around there feel
M: It felt more like jumping. If you can jump about half a meter high here, you could jump three meters on the moon.
W: Was that the most unforgettable part of your trip
M: Well, nothing can compare with seeing the Earth from 400,000 kilometers away. It’s amazing to see everything you know on a tiny blue ball from space.
W: That’ll make the trip worth it.
M: Yes. It took 16 days in total — with two days spent on the moon.
W: Thank you for sharing your story with us. Now, let’s take some questions from the crowd.

Power of Public Speaking has partnered with ASI Innovation Labs to integrate artificial intelligence into the Pops Classroom platform for improving public speaking skills. The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback.
The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress.
Criteria
Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria:
Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion
Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility
Feedback
The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats:
Recommendations
To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening.”
Speech Metrics (指标)
Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage.
Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course. When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester, Advisor increases the overall development.
21. What is the Pops Advisor

I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It’s a special tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of people nearby. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also gives off a chemical substance as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several plants. There have been many new plants that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they died.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important since they attract beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of moving this giant pain out of my tiny backyard Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before the sun rises. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut tree offers cover to wildlife and a reminder to me.
24. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden
A. To protect the injured skull. B. To avoid being hit by the nuts.
C. To prevent herself from sunburn. D. To protect herself from falling over.
25. What is the tree’s survival strategy
A. It accepts new plant varieties. B. It attracts beneficial pollinators.
C. It lets out poison to drive away pests. D. It produces a chemical deadly to some plants.
26. What is the writer’s attitude towards the walnut tree
A. Pleased. B. Conflicted. C. Curious. D. Disapproving.
27. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.
A. It’s better to accept than to resist B. It’s better to act than to think
C. It’s better to compete than to give up. D. It’s better to protect than to destroy.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与一棵黑核桃树之间长达18年的爱恨交织的关系，以及作者对它的复杂态度。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of people nearby.(在9月下旬或10月初，像棒球一样坚硬的坠落的果实会威胁到附近人的头骨)”以及“and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.(至于我，我在花园里干活时会戴上自行车头盔)”可知，作者在花园里工作时戴自行车头盔是为了避免被坚果砸到。故选B。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The black walnut also gives off a chemical substance as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several plants.(黑核桃树还会释放一种化学物质作为竞争策略。它对几种植物有毒)”可知，这棵树的生存策略是产生一种对某些植物致命的化学物质。故选D。
26. 推理判断题。根据第一段“I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.(我和一棵黑核桃树有着18年的爱恨情仇)”以及最后一段“Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires.(就像任何一段好的关系一样，我永远不会满意。我被这棵树困住了，所以我会倾听它的需求，给它所需的空间)”可知，作者对这棵黑核桃树的态度是矛盾的。故选B。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut tree offers cover to wildlife and a reminder to me.(我被这棵树困住了，所以我会倾听它的需求，给它所需的空间。作为回报，我的核桃树为野生动物提供了庇护，也给了我一个提醒)”可知，作者从树那里得到的提醒是接受比抗拒更好。故选A。
C
Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person.
The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticise the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. Over time, the child may learn that love is conditional. They may hide their real feelings, stop exploring their own interests, and start to believe, “I am not worthy.”
Experts describe three common signs. The first is psychological control. When the child sets a boundary or feels upset, the parent may say, “You’re too sensitive,” and turn the blame back onto the child. This often creates a sense of guilt. The second is unpredictable mood swings. The parent can be warm one day and cold the next, making the child feel like they are “walking on eggshells”. In adulthood, this may lead to people-pleasing and weak boundaries. The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically. As a result, the child may grow up too fast and miss out on a normal childhood.
Healing takes time, but it is possible. The first step is to be kinder to yourself and reconnect with your own interests. Supportive friends, groups, or professional help can provide the care that was previously missing. Clear boundaries can also make a relationship safer, and if contact continues to cause harm, limiting contact may be necessary. After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To raise an issue. B. To describe a study.
C. To explain the causes. D. To offer the solutions.
29. What does “peacock parenting” in paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. Public approval. B. Unconditional love. C. Independent growth. D. Honest self-expression.
30. Which sign best matches “role reversal” in paragraph 3
A. The parent praises the child in public. B. The child tries to win others’ approval.
C. The parent relies on the child for support. D. The child avoids setting any boundaries.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Distance ensures safety. B. Self-care is the final step.
C. healing requires parental effort. D. Support exists beyond the family.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍孔雀式育儿的定义、表现、对孩子的伤害以及孩子自我疗愈的方法。
28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Many children try to make their parents proud. But in some families, a child’s success is always “on show”. Parents want praise from others, and the child may feel like a performer, not a person. (许多孩子努力让父母骄傲。但在一些家庭里，孩子的成功总被“展示”。父母想得到别人的赞扬，孩子可能感觉自己像个表演者，而不是一个人。)”可知，第一段提出有些父母把孩子的成功当作炫耀资本这一问题，从而引出下文对孔雀式育儿的介绍。故选A项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The term “peacock parenting” comes from the idea of being “as proud as a peacock”. Here it means a self-centered style of parenting. A peacock parent may show off a “perfect family” in public, yet criticise the child behind closed doors when the child fails to meet high expectations. (“孔雀式育儿”一词源于“像孔雀一样骄傲”的说法。在这里，它指一种以自我为中心的育儿方式。孔雀式父母可能在公共场合炫耀“完美家庭”，但当孩子达不到高期望时，会在私下批评孩子。)”可知，孔雀式育儿主要关注获得公众的认可与赞扬。故选A项。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The third is role reversal. Some parents fail to provide proper care and attention, or even expect their child to look after them emotionally or physically.(第三种是角色反转。一些父母无法给予适当的照顾和关注，甚至期望孩子在情感或身体上照顾他们。)”可知，角色反转指的是父母依赖孩子获得支持。故选C项。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“After all, there are many places to find warmth, and not all of them are under a parent’s roof.(毕竟，有很多地方可以找到温暖，并非所有温暖都来自父母的家中。)”可知，支持与温暖不只存在于家庭中。故选D项。
D
Amid mounting global plastic pollution — a crisis worsened by 400 million tons of annual waste, 46% of which are single-use PET plastics — researchers have engineered PETase Plus, a bioengineered enzyme (酶) capable of degrading PET polymers (聚合物) 90% faster than natural enzymes. Published in Nature Biotechnology, this breakthrough, achieved through multinational cooperation, could redefine waste management by transforming non-recyclable plastics into reusable raw materials. Yet, its significance extends far beyond laboratories, sparking heated debates among scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists.
Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions. By degrading PET’s molecular bonds, it breaks down plastics into base components that can be re-integrated into high-quality products or even biofuels. According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.”
However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm. Dr. Emily Carter, a biochemist, warns, “Engineered enzymes released into landfills or oceans might also degrade natural polymers, destabilizing soil structures or marine ecosystems. Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster.”
Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption. Environmental advocates insist plastic manufacturers — responsible for 70% of global PET production — should fund large-scale application of the technology. However, industry leaders argue that governments must provide financial support to encourage innovation. Meanwhile, developing nations, where waste management system is underdeveloped, view PETase Plus as a potential lifeline, though fears spread that wealthy countries might not share the technology.
As research advances, PETase Plus is facing a challenge: a scientific success shadowed by ethical and ecological dilemmas. Its success relies not merely on biochemical efficiency but on multi-party cooperation to balance innovation with caring for our planet.
32. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of PETase Plus over traditional recycling methods
A. It reduces the cost by 60%.
B. It removes the need for industrial funding.
C. It produces biofuels straight from plastic waste.
D. It functions effectively at relatively low temperatures.
33. What concern do critics emphasize about PETase Plus
A. Its funding resource is still not clear. B. It may disturb natural ecosystems.
C. It requires expensive lab equipment. D. Its mechanism is not yet understood.
34. Why does the author quote Dr. Emily Carter
A. To stress the necessity for ecological regulations.
B. To question the enzyme’s degradation efficiency.
C. To advocate for industry-led innovation.
D. To highlight the technical limitations of PETase Plus.
35. What can be a possible result of the future application of PETase Plus
A. Ecological risks will be removed.
B. Governments will cease funding traditional recycling.
C. Ethical conflicts might prevent its widespread application.
D. Developing nations will reject the technology due to high costs.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在全球塑料污染日益严重的情况下，研究人员设计出了一种生物工程酶—— PETase Plus，它能比天然酶降解PET聚合物快90%。文章对这项新技术进行了详细介绍。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions.(传统的回收需要能源密集型过程（超过250℃）来熔化塑料并产生无用的材料，而PETase Plus在温和的条件下运行。)”和“According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.”(该研究的主要作者利亚姆·哈珀博士说：“这种方法可以减少60%的能源消耗和80%的碳排放，为工业提供了一种具有成本效益和环保的传统方法替代方案。”)”可知，PETase Plus相对于传统回收方法的一个优势是它在相对较低的温度下有效地发挥作用。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm.(然而，批评人士警告不要盲目乐观。虽然PETase Plus在受控的实验室环境中表现出色，但将其应用于工业或环境使用可能会带来意想不到的生态危害。)”可知，批评人士对PETase Plus强调了它可能会扰乱自然生态系统的担忧。故选B。
34. 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster.(如果没有适当的限制，塑料垃圾的解决方案可能会成为一场生态灾难。)”可知，作者引用艾米丽·卡特医生的话是为了强调生态规制的必要性。故选A。
35. 细节理解题。根据倒第二段第一句“Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption.(伦理冲突进一步使其采用复杂化。)”可知，未来应用PETase Plus可能会面临伦理冲突阻止它的广泛应用的结果。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The post-lunch History lesson with Mr. Davies had a distinct specific quality, the air thick with the warmth of thirty bodies and the deep voice of a detailed analysis of the Corn Laws. The battlefield of attention had been lost, and sleep was the silent victor, claiming its subjects one by one in a series of strategical positions.
Directly in front of Mr. Davies’s desk sat Caleb, a master of the “Upright Nap.” 36 His textbook was open, and his pen was even held loosely in hand. The only betrayal was the utter stillness of that pen and the slow, rhythmic dip of his head, followed by a sudden, barely perceptible jerk back to alertness.
Further back, Liam had perfected the “Prop and Drop.” He was supported entirely on his left elbow, his hand cradling his forehead, fingers splayed through his hair as if in deep concentration or frustration with the economic policies. 37 From the front, he looked like a diligent student struggling with complex material. From the side, his closed eyes and the soft, steady sigh of his breath told the true story.
Then there was the duo in the corner, Sarah and Ben, practitioners of the “Human Shield.” Sarah, sitting closer to the aisle, had created a defensive wall with her own body, bending forward over her desk to create a hidden sleep for Ben behind her. Ben was in the “Full-Surrender” position: head pillowed on his folded arms, face turned completely away from the light. 38
Mr. Davies, of course, was not entirely fooled. He was a veteran of this silent war. He continued his lecture, pacing slowly, his voice a steady river flowing around these islands of sleep. He knew that a sudden shout would startle them, but it would also shatter the fragile peace for the few students still fearlessly taking notes. 39 He would pause mid-sentence near a sleeper, or gently tap a finger joint on their desk as he passed, sending a ripple of subtle panic that would bring them swimming back to consciousness for a few precious minutes.
40 The clock ticked slowly towards the bell. In the quiet classroom, the only sounds were Mr. Davies’s monologue and the soft, rhythmic breathing of his sleeping troop, each lost in a dream far more irresistible than the price of corn.
A. For now, a restful ceasefire held.
B. Instead, he employed psychological warfare.
C. Their combined efforts turned the class into a silent, secret laboratory.
D. He woke with a jolt to the sound of the bell, his cheek sticky on the desk.
E. His posture was perfect, spine straight, chin slightly raised as if considering a profound point.
F. He was the most asleep, utterly committed to his escape, protected by the sacrificial snoozing of his friend.
G. His entire body was angled away from the teacher’s patrol route, a human fortress against inquiry.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. B 40. A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了午饭后戴维斯老师的历史课上，学生们各展“睡姿伪装术”，老师则用温和方式应对，教室在讲课声与呼吸声中，维持着宁静的“休战”直到下课。
36. 根据上文“Directly in front of Mr. Davies’s desk sat Caleb, a master of the “Upright Nap.”(在戴维斯先生的办公桌正前方坐着凯莱布，他可是“直立式打盹”的高手)”以及后文“His textbook was open, and his pen was even held loosely in hand. The only betrayal was the utter stillness of that pen and the slow, rhythmic dip of his head, followed by a sudden, barely perceptible jerk back to alertness.(他的课本摊开着，笔也随意地握在手中。唯一的破绽在于那支笔的完全静止，还有他缓慢而有节奏的低垂头部的动作，随后是突然、几乎难以察觉的猛地回弹至警觉状态)”可知，前文提到凯莱布是“直立打盹大师”，后文描述“课本翻开、手里松握钢笔”，需衔接“直立”的姿态细节。选项E“他坐姿完美，脊背挺直，下巴微抬，仿佛在思考某个深刻观点”，既呼应“直立打盹”的“直立”核心，又通过“思考”的假象与后文“钢笔纹丝不动”的破绽形成对比，逻辑连贯。故选E。
37. 根据上文“Further back, Liam had perfected the “Prop and Drop.” He was supported entirely on his left elbow, his hand cradling his forehead, fingers splayed through his hair as if in deep concentration or frustration with the economic policies.(再往后，利安已经熟练掌握了“支撑与下垂”的动作。他完全依靠左肘支撑着身体，一只手托着额头，手指像在梳理头发一样张开，仿佛正全神贯注地思考着什么，或者是在对某些经济政策感到极度不满)”以及后文“From the front, he looked like a diligent student struggling with complex material. From the side, his closed eyes and the soft, steady sigh of his breath told the true story.(从正面看，他看起来像一个努力学习、但又因学习内容复杂而感到吃力的学生。从侧面看，他紧闭的双眼以及那轻柔而平稳的呼吸声则揭示了真实的情况)”可知，前文介绍利安的“支撑垂头”睡姿——用左肘支撑、手托额头，后文提到“从正面看像认真学习，侧面才暴露闭眼睡觉”，需补充“躲避老师观察”的细节。故G选项“他的整个身体都偏离了老师的巡逻路线，像一座抵御询问的人类堡垒”符合语境，故选G。
38. 根据上文“Then there was the duo in the corner, Sarah and Ben, practitioners of the “Human Shield.” Sarah, sitting closer to the aisle, had created a defensive wall with her own body, bending forward over her desk to create a hidden sleep for Ben behind her. Ben was in the “Full-Surrender” position: head pillowed on his folded arms, face turned completely away from the light.(随后，在角落里的还有那对搭档，萨拉和本，他们是“人体盾牌”术的践行者。萨拉坐在离过道较近的位置，她用自己的身体筑起了一道防御屏障，身体前倾趴在桌子上，为本营造了一个隐蔽的睡眠空间。而本则处于“完全投降”的姿势：头枕在交叉的双臂上，脸完全转向一侧，背对着灯光)”可知，前文讲萨拉用身体为本制造“人体盾牌”，本是“完全投降”姿势（头枕手臂、脸避开光线），需总结本的状态及萨拉的保护作用。故F选项“他最为昏昏欲睡，全神贯注于逃避，受到他那位充当牺牲品般酣睡的伙伴的保护”符合语境，故选F。
39. 根据上文“Mr. Davies, of course, was not entirely fooled. He was a veteran of this silent war. He continued his lecture, pacing slowly, his voice a steady river flowing around these islands of sleep. He knew that a sudden shout would startle them, but it would also shatter the fragile peace for the few students still fearlessly taking notes.(戴维斯先生当然没有完全被蒙骗。他是这场无声战争的老手。他继续讲着，缓缓踱步，声音像一条稳定的河流，在这些沉睡的岛屿之间流淌。他知道突然的大喊会惊醒他们，但这也将会打破这片脆弱和平的氛围，因为还有一些勇敢地做笔记的学生会因此受到惊吓)”以及后文“He would pause mid-sentence near a sleeper, or gently tap a finger joint on their desk as he passed, sending a ripple of subtle panic that would bring them swimming back to consciousness for a few precious minutes.(他会说到一半停下来，靠近一个熟睡的人身旁；或者当他经过时，会轻轻地在他们的办公桌上敲一下手指关节，这会引发一阵细微的恐慌感，让他们暂时恢复清醒状态，享受片刻宝贵的宁静时光)”可知，前文提到戴维斯先生知道“突然大喊会惊吓学生，还破坏其他记笔记学生的状态”，后文讲他“在睡觉学生身边停顿、轻敲桌子”，需衔接“不喊”与“轻提醒”的过渡。故B选项“相反，他采用了心理战的手段”符合语境，故选B。
40. 根据后文“The clock ticked slowly towards the bell. In the quiet classroom, the only sounds were Mr. Davies’s monologue and the soft, rhythmic breathing of his sleeping troop, each lost in a dream far more irresistible than the price of corn.(时钟缓慢地滴答作响，临近铃声响起的时间了。在安静的教室里，唯一能听到的声音便是戴维斯先生的独白以及他那群熟睡学生轻柔而有节奏的呼吸声，每个人都沉浸在比玉米价格更难以抗拒的梦境之中)”可知，前文讲老师用温和方式应对睡觉学生，后文描述“时钟走向下课铃，教室只有老师讲课声和学生呼吸声”，需总结此时“老师与学生”的微妙平衡状态。故A选项“目前，一场平静的停火得以维持”符合语境，故选A。

“My loss of vision was troublesome. I didn’t know what to do first. It was like learning how to 41 again.” my mother said.
At first, using a white cane (手杖) was tough for her because it 42 her “secret” to the world, she said. She later made 43 so she could do simple tasks such as pouring a glass of water by using bright-colored drinking glasses instead of clear ones, and 44 ones such as reading instructions on a medicine bottle by using a screen reader service — tasks that are often overlooked by 45 people.
Then, my mother realized, it was a super power. She found a sense of belonging wherever she went because people could 46 her disability and would offer to help. She made friends with her Braille (布莱叶盲文) teachers, grocery store employees and many others who have 47 her through this life change. “Before I lost my vision, there was so much I didn’t see. But now I see people as they 48 are,” my mother said.
My mother also found it rewarding to be of 49 to others, as so many were to her. As a cancer survivor, she 50 at the hospital where she was treated, lending emotional support to patients. And she uses her experiences and skills as a lawyer in an organization that 51 the visually impaired and blind community. “I see it as the answer to my why. Helping cancer patients and advocating for those with 52 loss redefines my purpose in life.” my mother said.
Her 53 has taught me to be more strong-willed. I believe there is no battle that is insurmountable (不可逾越的) because I watch my role model 54 difficulties daily. I’ve watched her fall and 55 stronger every time.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国研究团队成功研发出一种名为Bone-02的新型医用粘合剂。
56. 考查介词。句意：这种新型胶水旨在快速修复骨折，无需使用传统金属板或大型手术。根据语境可知，此处表示“没有……的需要”，所以用介词without。故填without。
57. 考查副词。句意：与普通胶水不同，这种物质可以在潮湿、含盐以及持续运动的条件下发挥作用，并且它可以直接注射到特定部位，帮助加速骨骼修复。此处修饰形容词moving，应用副词形式作状语，constant的副词为constantly，意为“持续地”。故填constantly。
58. 考查定语从句。句意：它能在2-3分钟内将骨折部位粘合在一起，即使是在大多数粘合剂失效的血液丰富的区域。此处为定语从句，先行词是areas，表示地点，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
59. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种新型胶水具有令人印象深刻的特性，包括在失效前承受巨大力量的能力。ability to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“做某事的能力”，所以用动词不定式to tolerate作后置定语修饰ability。故填to tolerate。

63. 考查动词时态和语态。句意：此外，这种胶水是可生物降解的，随着骨骼的再生，它可以被身体吸收，所以不需要进行二次手术来取出植入物。句子描述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语no second surgery与require之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语是单数，所以用is required。故填is required。
64. 考查形容词。句意：早期测试表明，与金属器械相比，它在降低感染风险方面是有效的。根据空前的系动词is可知，此处应用形容词作表语，effect的形容词为effective，意为“有效的”。故填effective。
65. 考查冠词。句意：如果临床试验继续证实这些结果，这可能是治疗骨折方面的一个重大突破，尤其是对于复杂的临床病例。此处表示泛指“一个重大突破”，major是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

Treasure Our Class Time
Recently, a concerning phenomenon has been observed in our classes: some students appear distracted, dozing off, or even using mobile phones, leading to inefficient learning. This not only hampers their own academic progress but also affects the overall classroom atmosphere.
To address this, I propose the following suggestions. Firstly, let’s prepare well before class to stay engaged. Secondly, active participation in discussions is far more beneficial than passive listening. Lastly, setting clear learning goals for each session can significantly enhance our focus.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The Scholarship Jacket
Each year, my school awarded a green and gold scholarship jacket to the top graduate with the highest grades over eight years. As a straight-A student since my first year, I was determined to win it. Raised by my grandparents on a small farm, money was always tight — we simply could not afford fees or trips for any sports events. I knew the sports jacket was out of my reach, so the scholarship jacket was my only chance.
However, one afternoon, I accidentally overheard my teachers arguing in the classroom. Mr. Smith was angrily defending my academic record, “Martha deserves the jacket!” Yet, Mr. Bonne responded calmly, “But Joan’s father is on the) Board. We could say it was a close tie and...” The rest of his words were drowned out by the pounding in my ears. I stood frozen, feeling my dream shatter in the face of cruel injustice.
The next day, the principal called me in. Avoiding eye contact, he awkwardly explained a new “policy” to me: the Board would charge fifteen dollars for the jacket this year. “If you can’t pay,” he declared, “it will go to the next one in line.” Shocked as I was, I refused to give in without a word. Mustering all my dignity, I replied, “I’ll speak to my grandpa and let you know tomorrow.”
Grandpa was working in the bean field when I found him. Voice shaky, I blurted out the news about the fifteen-dollar fee. “I have to take the money tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be given to someone else.”
Grandpa paused, straightened his weary back, and rested his chin on the hoe (锄头) handle. He gazed at the green shoots before turning to me. “What does a scholarship jacket mean ” he asked quietly.
“It means you’ve earned it by having the highest grades for eight years,” I answered without hesitation.
“Then if you pay for it, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it ” Grandpa said, driving his hoe firmly into the soil. “Tell your principal I won’t pay.”
I walked back to the house and locked myself in the bathroom for a long time. I was angry with the Board for changing the rule; and I was angry with grandfather even though I knew he was right.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】例文
The next day, with a heavy heart, I almost dragged myself into the principal’s office. He looked up from his desk, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and cut straight to the point, “So — what did your grandpa say ” Sitting upright with hands clasped tight, I stated Grandpa’s decision, “He said he wouldn’t pay for something I’ve already earned.” A sharp silence cracked between us. The principal paused, brows knitted and jaw set, as if wrestling with a difficult decision. Minutes stretched on before he finally spoke up, “The Board will reconsider the policy.” But no hope stirred in me — “reconsider” sounded more like a polite way to end the conversation. I nodded faintly and headed for the door.
At the end of the day, Mr. Smith brought me the news about the scholarship jacket. “Congratulations, kid. The Board has made an exception for you.” Mr. Smith winked and patted me on the back. “You spoke bravely for yourself — don’t lose that voice.” His words echoed like a victory bell in my chest. I sprinted to the bean field and told the good news to Grandpa between ragged breaths. Crumbling warm earth through my fingers, I saw it clearly: courage is a seed; once you plant your voice, the world shifts an inch toward justice, and that inch is enough to grow a life upon.
