第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A digital nomad (数字游民) is a remote worker who’s constantly on the move. They might drift from country
to country. Now countries are starting to create visa programs specifically for these types of workers. A digital
nomad visa is a way for governments to monitor and tax professionals who work for international companies
(usually). Below, you can find the most accessible digital nomad visas in Europe.
Albania
Albania is a hot new destination for many travel sites — and it has got a long-stay visa that’s perfect for
digital nomads. The visa was created with self-employed people in mind. It also covers professions like researchers,
investors, and even retirees.
Visa cost: Reciprocal (Albania charges you whatever your country would charge an Albanian)
Income requirement: $9,800/year
Duration: 1 year
Croatia
Croatia is one of the flashiest countries in Europe thanks to its beautiful Mediterranean beaches and medieval
villages. Also, the locals tend to be warm and welcoming. The country first launched its digital nomad visa back in
2021.
Visa cost: $73
Income requirement: $2,658/month
Duration: 6 months-1 year
Georgia
This tiny country is located in the Caucasus Mountains; if you’re into stunning mountain ranges, look no
further. Given its small size and desire for economic growth, the government launched a “Remotely from Georgia”
visa back in 2020.
Visa cost: Free
Income requirement: $2,000/month
Duration: 1 year
Greece
Greece was the first European country to launch its digital nomad visa. It’s a popular destination for digital
nomads because Greece has a great work-life balance, allowing remote workers to enjoy the islands when they’re
off the clock.
Visa cost: $79
Income requirement: $3,690/month
Duration: 1-2 years
21. Who is the text most likely intended for
A. Overseas travelers. B. Policymakers. C. Government officials. D. Digital nomads.
22 Which country charges nothing for applying for a visa
A. Georgia. B. Croatia. C. Albania. D. Greece.
23. How is Greece different from the other destinations
A. It boasts beautiful scenery. B. It accepts self-employed workers.
C. It launched a nomad visa earlier. D. It has the lowest income requirement.
B
When Helen Blau reads her recently published picture book Stem Cells to the Rescue to her grandchildren,
even the 5-year-old sits still.
“I’ve read it to them many times,” says Blau, a stem cell biologist at Stanford University. The grandmother of
four describes how her grandchildren, aged 5 to 9, especially love to point to the curly-haired frog looking through
a microscope on page 30. “They knew right away it was me,” she says.
Blau’s book is a collaboration with illustrator Margery Fain, 69, a former PhD classmate from Harvard. It was
inspired by their own grandchildren and by a desire to educate all children (and hopefully their parents and
grandparents too) about stem cells — an important thing in tissue maintenance and repair.
“It’s not so easy for the general public to understand what stem cells are all about,” says Blau, “We thought
this was a way to teach while bringing joy to kids.”
The book was published last year by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. The first half of Blau’s book
shows how stem cells come to the rescue when kids (little frogs) get hurt, say, by falling off the jungle gym and
scraping their knees. Then, in the second half, as these frogs age and turn into grandparents with glasses, it’s
scientists like Blau who become the rescuers.
Researchers are making progress on how to “make new stem cells”, the book says, to repair grandma’s eyes or
to regenerate cartilage (软骨) in grandpa’s aching knees — both among Blau’s research collaborations. For Blau,
who has written hundreds of scientific publications, this was her first attempt at children’s literature. It was so fun
that she might write another, she says. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could inspire kids to want to be scientists ”
24. What can be known about Helen Blau’s picture book
A. It is inspired by a curly-haired frog.
B. It holds much appeal for her grandchildren.
C. It is illustrated by her colleague at Harvard.
D. It aims to guide parenting for young children.
25. Why did Helen Blau create the picture book
A. To cooperate with another famous scientist.
B. To show her latest research project in biology.
C. To spark her grandchildren’s interest in painting.
D. To educate children about stem cells and bring them joy.
26. What does the second half of the book mainly present
A. How kids get hurt while playing outside.
B. How scientists use stem cells to help the elderly.
C. How stem cells help kids recover from injuries.
D. How the frogs grow old and turn into grandparents.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. The development of stem cell research.
B. A famous biologist’s latest research on stem cells.
C. The importance of stem cells in medical treatment.
D. A scientist’s effort to popularize stem cell knowledge.
C
Rising global temperatures are likely to cause deep losses to the world’s most important crops. A global
analysis of crop yields suggests that, by the end of the century, each degree Celsius (摄氏温度) of warming will
reduce the food available per person by about 121 kilocalories per day.
Hultgren, a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, along with his colleagues collected data
on the yields of the world’s six main crops. They also collected information on local weather patterns from 54
countries. The researchers then used this information to predict how the different crops would respond to a
changing climate and how farmers would adjust. This allowed them to estimate how different agricultural
adaptations, such as changing which crop varieties are grown, boosting irrigation or using more fertiliser, would
reduce crop losses.
For all crops except rice, which grows better when nights are warmer, they found that higher temperatures
would lead to steep losses. For instance, global corn yields are predicted to fall by about 12 or 28 percent by the
end of the century — depending on whether greenhouse gas emissions are moderate or very high, respectively —
relative to what they would be without global warming.
Wolfram Schlenker at Harvard University says the conclusion matches previous findings focused on specific
regions. “The huge contribution of their study is they didn’t just focus on one country, but they gathered this data
from countries around the world,” he says. That global view reveals some interesting patterns. For instance, they
found the largest expected crop losses don’t occur in low-income countries, but in the relatively wealthy farming
regions of the world.
Michael Roberts at the University of Hawaii says the findings are in line with results from smaller-scale
studies. But he points out that huge uncertainties remain, including the extent of future climate change and how the
extraordinarily complex global food system will respond.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. What data was analyzed. B. When the research was put forward.
C How the research was conducted. D. Why the agricultural adjustment was made.
29. Why are the numbers in paragraph 3 mentioned
A. To demand urgent cuts in emissions.
B. To illustrate the severity of crop losses.
C. To assess the impact of temperatures on rice.
D. To predict the development of global warming.
30. What made the study special
A. The small-scale data sets. B. The support of local farmers.
C. The worldwide data collection. D. The cooperation of farming regions.
31. What does Michael Roberts think of the study
A. It is reasonable but limited. B. It is influential but outdated.
C. It is well-designed but misleading. D. It is groundbreaking but impractical.
D
Batteries are already widely used in electric vehicles but their application in aviation (航空) is still
developing. Although some electric passenger planes are being developed, widespread commercial use remains
years away. However, the low-altitude economy offers a promising field for testing electric flight technologies,
under conditions and safety standards very different from those on the ground.
Drones (无人机) flying below 1,000 meters are seen as a cost-effective way to transport goods and improve
traffic. Larger electric vertical (垂直的) take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft could change urban travel. The
global eVTOL market is expected to grow significantly, propelled by uses in emergency services, delivery, air
taxis, and tourism.
China has included the low-altitude economy in its official plans and is supporting its development. For
example, drone deliveries are already operating in Shenzhen, and self-flying air taxis are being tested. In one recent
trial, an unmanned eVTOL aircraft completed a 50-kilometer trip in just 20 minutes — much faster than by car.
Companies in North America, Europe, and Japan are also developing similar aircraft.
This emerging field combines advanced energy systems, motors, chips, and electronic devices in an aircraft.
However, as more low-altitude vehicles take flight, strict regulations and careful management will be essential to
ensure safety and gain public trust.
Battery technology faces major challenges. To support clean transportation, eVTOLs should ideally use power
from renewable sources like solar or wind. Yet, current batteries are still too heavy, weak, and unsafe for aviation.
Failure in the air can be deadly, so batteries must be extremely reliable. They need features such as multi-layer
protection, real-time fault detection, and heat control. New technologies like solid-state batteries, nanomaterials,
and hydrogen fuel cells may offer better solutions. Some companies are also working on hybrid systems that
combine electric motors with traditional engines.
In the future, structural batteries — built directly into the wings or body of the aircraft — could save weight
and increase energy capacity. However, these designs bring new safety and maintenance challenges that must be
carefully addressed.
32. What does the underlined word “propelled” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Guided. B. Driven. C. Restricted. D. Absorbed.
33. Why does the author refer to the drone deliveries in Shenzhen in paragraph 3
A. To emphasize the support. B. To show China’s economy.
C. To compare Chinese cities. D. To introduce delivery services.
34. What is a current challenge for battery technology
A. High cost. B. Small size. C. Complex examination. D. Poor reliability.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Drones Are Widely Used in Daily Life B. China leads a Low-Altitude Economy
C. Electric Aviation Is Being Developed D. Electric Vehicles Market Is Growing Fast

Color explosion
Chemistry doesn’t have to be boring — especially when you can get a cool art project out of it. Check out
what happens when milk, food coloring, and dish soap create a cool chemical reaction. After observing the reaction
with milk, repeat the experiment with a different material. ____36____ Let the glue dry and remove the glue disk
from the plate for a visible souvenir of this experiment.
____37____ First, prepare a shallow baking dish with a flat bottom. The dish should maintain consistent depth
throughout its entire surface area, and can come in any shape to create visually appealing results. Then, you need to
have milk, food coloring and dish detergent (洗涤剂).
Fill the dish with about half an inch of milk. Then add dots of colors using food coloring. Make whatever
pattern you like, but use plenty of colorful dots.
Drop just one drop of dish detergent in the middle of the milk. ____38____ The colors will sink in response to
the dish detergent, then emerge again — moving in beautiful patterns and combining — before settling and
standing still.
Milk is a mixture, a suspension (悬浮液) of fat droplets (脂肪滴) in water. This means they’re not mixed in,
just hanging in the milk. Food coloring sits in drops in the water, too, making a steady system — until the dish
detergent is added. Dish detergents are meant to separate out dirt or oil so they can be washed away. When the dish
detergent is added, the suspension is broken up, and the fat droplets all rush to combine with each other.
____39____
After the colors mix together, try to move the pattern onto a piece of paper. Drop the paper flat onto the milk’s
surface and allow the liquid to absorb it for a moment or two. Then lift the paper by several corners to turn it over.
____40____ Then coat it with clear-coat or another plastic covering to preserve the colors.
A. Employ glue instead.
B. Watch what happens.
C. The milk turns cloudy first.
D. Place it on a paper towel to dry.
E. It creates the color spreading effect.
F. You will need the following materials.
G. Choosing proper coloring requires skills.

My wife Ashley and I raised our child Justin, a boy aged 7. I wanted to be a good father. But more and more
these days, I asked myself, “Was I ”
I’m a business consultant, which means I spend a lot of time on the road instead of being with my family. That’
s why I always felt like I was missing something in my relationship with my kid.
One day, Justin ran up to me and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. I agreed happily and thought we would
walk around the block. But then Justin jumped on his bike and rode down the street, leaving me in the dust. “It
doesn’t seem to be a family walk,” I thought.
As I reached the end of the street, I found Justin’s bike parked in the driveway of our good friends Rick and
Judy. I heard shouts from around back and followed. Justin was shooting hoops (篮框) with Rick and Judy, having
a great time.
“Hey, John,” Rick said, holding up the basketball. “Do you want to shoot a few ”
I shook my head. “Not really my game,” I said. Rick walked over to me. We watched Justin and Judy play.
“How do you manage it, Rick ” I asked. “I can hardly get my kid to do anything fun with me.”
“I try to make what’s important to my kid important to me,” he said. “Even if it’s just shooting a few baskets.”
I wanted to follow Rick’s advice. The next week, I heard Justin say, “I wish I could play basketball on a team.
That would be so fun!”
My ears perked up (竖起). Maybe I could put up a basket and we could shoot a few after school. That night, I
sat at the computer and filled out the application for a basketball team online. That’s when I noticed a box that
asked, “Would you like to coach ” Before I could stop myself, I clicked the box and hit SEND. Justin was excited
when I told him I became the coach of an eight-member basketball team and that he could join in.

【答案】One possible version:
Last Sunday, our school held a hiking activity with the theme of “Hiking for Perseverance, Exercising for
Exams”.
Covering a 10-kilometer route, the activity started at 8 am. All students walked together, encouraging each
other when tired. Some even sang to keep spirits high, making the tough journey full of joy.
This activity not only helps us build up physical strength needed for the upcoming exams but also cultivates
our perseverance. Facing difficulties during the hike teaches us to stay strong, which will surely support us in our
exam preparation. Such an event is truly beneficial and memorable.

【67 题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Then came our first practice, which was not so enjoyable. In a local gym, I had the eight kids gather.
“Welcome to our first practice. Let’s shoot some baskets,” I said to my team. I continued to demonstrate without
success...three times! The kids burst into laughter. I glanced at the other team. They were running drills — passing,
moving the basketball, free throws, while their coach blew his whistle. I didn’t have a whistle and my kids were
wandering around aimlessly. My son Justin seemed quite frustrated.
I searched online for coaching tips and determined the goal of our team was to have fun. The next practice, I
called my team in and said, “Just have fun playing basketball. Miss as many baskets as you want.” The kids started
passing the ball around and shooting and missing. No one cared. Then one shot hit the backboard and went through
