Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic explorer, has spent 25 years documenting (记录) rare wildlife, changing his childhood interest into a duty to protect Earth’s ecosystems.
When he was young, Kadur was attracted by Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to take photos of nature’s wonders and share them.
At 12, Kadur borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, a scientist who studies insects, got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally taking photos of small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Afterwards, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling.
In Brownsville, Kadur explored the cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they started a documentary project together, Bax withdrew (退出) from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, carried on the project on his own. He later spent three years in India’s Western Ghats, filming species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His first film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status.
Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audience chances to know about a rarely-seen natural world, calling on them to protect its weak wildlife. “Visual art has told stories for thousands of years. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the influence of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.”
4．What led Kadur into nature
A．Corbett’s stories of big cats. B．Working as a jungle tour guide.
C．Borrowing his father’s camera. D．His experience in hotel management.
5．What was his father’s influence on him
A．Teaching him photography skills. B．Introducing him to documentary work.
C．Helping him regain love for storytelling. D．Arousing his curiosity about scientific details.
6．What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling
A．It well entertains audiences. B．It serves as a bridge for nature.
C．Its value lies in expression skills. D．Its impact depends on technology.
7．Which of the following words can best describe Kadur
A．Determined and passionate. B．Talented and humorous.
C．Independent and generous. D．Responsible and serious.
Whales are the largest mammals (哺乳动物) and are found in waters around the world Numbers of whales are recovering after many countries have stopped whale catching and killing and that is something worth celebrating.
But there are still some types of whales that are considered endangered (濒危的). And human activities are still responsible for whale deaths. Ship crashes are killing 20,000 whales yearly and this is a worldwide problem. For every killed whale that was found, 10 more are believed to have died unrecorded.
Ocean traffic is supposed to grow by at least 240 percent by 2050 and that will make the whale crashes much more likely. But a sound technology, Whale Safe, was just put into use across North American waters and it can help keep whales safe from ships.
It was introduced on the West Coast of the US in 2020 after an increase in whale crashes. By warning ships to watch out for nearby whales, it makes more ships observe the speed limit, reducing the number of whale deaths. Whale Safe listens for whale sounds by using buoys (浮标) that separate whale calls from ocean background noise.
When a whale is found, this information is sent to nearby boats, warning them to slow down. This has worked well. In California’s Santa Barbara channel, a place known for high crash possibilities, the number of ships that slowed down went from 46 percent in 2019 to 63.5 percent in 2023.
This technology can protect more endangered whales. One of the endangered North American whales is the right whale. In fact, there are only about 370 left. With so few left, researchers have to monitor (监测) the waters of the entire East Coast of the US, from Maine to Florida. The technology is also being used in other places. In 2022, Chile fixed its first sound buoy to warn ships of nearby humpback, southern-right, and blue whales. Greece is testing the technology to protect sperm whales.
8．What does the text say about the killed whales in the sea
A．They affect the safety of ships. B．Their actual number is much larger.
C．They receive wide attention. D．Their death is mainly caused by pollution.
9．How does Whale Safe work
A．It makes ships heard. B．It warns ships of whales.
C．It reduces ocean traffic worldwide. D．It sets up the activity area for whales.
10．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A．More waters should be monitored.
B．Whales are in great need of protection.
C．Many types of whales are becoming endangered.
D．Whale Safe is widely used to protect more whales.
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Sound Technology Helps Keep Whales Safe
B．Human Activities Are Still Threatening Whales
C．The Population of Whales Is Increasing Slowly
D．Shipping Is Harming Endangered Whales
It is no surprise that the English language contains such a wide variety of expressions and phrases including dogs, which have been constant partners with people for thousands of years. The observations of dog behaviors have inspired us to take their individual characteristics into our language.
Did your roommates make a terrible mess of the dorm room while you were gone You could describe this terrible state as “a dog’s breakfast”. This British phrase means a disorganized state of things or a bad mix of different things. It appeared during a time when people would feed their dogs leftovers from last night’s dinner or other food items they happened to have on hand for breakfast. The phrase creates such a powerful scene showing a complete mess if you truly picture it. Interestingly, the phrase “dressed like a dog’s dinner” is quite different — “someone who is overdressed or improperly dressed”.
You would be “barking up the wrong tree” if you are following a mistaken or misguided thought or action. This term dates back to the hunt of raccoon (浣熊) with the help of dogs. From time to time, a raccoon fools the dogs, which crowd around a tree, barking loudly, not realizing the quarry has taken a different way.
Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days”, dating back to ancient Rome, refers to the hottest days of the year in which we feel lazy or unable to make great efforts. It was the Romans who first noticed that the burning heat of the summer seemed to come with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star”, which was a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms (习惯用语) and history with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings — a very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night”.
While dog-related idioms are common in use in many people’s everyday language today, the stories and history behind the idioms may lead us onto a new exciting journey of exploration.
12．Why are there a large number of dog-related idioms in English
A．People summarized the ways dogs cooperate with humans.
B．People’s constant observation of dogs inspired the idioms.
C．Dogs are animals with special features favored by humans.
D．Dogs’ characteristics are the main source of English idioms.
13．Which of the following may be described as “a dog’s breakfast”
A．A delicious meal. B．A messy kitchen.
C．An unsatisfactory ending. D．An improperly-dressed person.
14．What does the underlined word “quarry” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．The raccoon. B．The tree. C．The hunter. D．The master.
15．What was the origin of the idiom “dog days”
A．Dogs liked to hang out in summer.
B．The heat in summer got dogs barking.
C．Dogs were Romans’ favourite animal partners.
D．A star with “dog” in its name appeared at this time.
Boxing (拳击) has been practiced for centuries — it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. 16 Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring.
Its help for our body is clear. Whether it’s practicing with a hitting bag or facing another boxer, boxing can be a hard form of exercise and give a full-body workout. 17 And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness — allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively affect other aspects of physical well-being, like heart health and weight management.
18 Boxing can also positively affect someone’s mental well-being. Dr. Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can reduce anxiety and sadness. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of focus.
There is a third benefit to putting on boxing gloves (手套). Practicing boxing hits can be done alone, of course. 19 It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging. 20
In short, boxing is more than just a sport. It’s good for your body, calms your mind, and helps you connect with others. No wonder it has been popular for so long and loved by so many people.
A．It can improve our body strength.
B．But boxing is not just a one-person activity.
C．So the teamwork can make our society peaceful.
D．More recently, boxing has become popular in the UK.
E．Thus, boxing helps build deep connections with peers.
F．The high demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body.
G．It develops self-protecting skills and build confidence to protect oneself.

五、书面表达
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The day had finally arrived. For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses.
The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya, who loved herbs, made flower-scented candles using recycled jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains.
Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan (借款). We jumped for joy in the hallway.
We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan.
“Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her.
But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while chaos erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On!” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance.
“Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed.
The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go.
Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“New plan. We can no longer wait for them to come to us.” I declared.

After the final bell rang, we counted our earnings eagerly.

46．Pursuit of Jade Mainland TV Drama Causes a Sensation Across the World
Recently, the mainland TV drama Pursuit of Jade has caused a great sensation in Taiwan and even around the world, gaining widespread attention from people of all ages.
The drama’s popularity is not by accident. The key reason lies in its clever integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements, such as Qin Opera, shadow puppetry and traditional costumes. These elements not only enrich the plot but also arouse strong cultural resonance among audiences at home and abroad, letting people feel the unique charm of Chinese culture.
This phenomenon is of great significance. It not only promotes cultural exchange between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits but also helps spread excellent traditional Chinese culture to the world, strengthening our cultural identity. It sets a good example for spreading Chinese culture through modern media.
47．
“New plan. We can no longer wait for them to come to us,” I declared. I grabbed a couple of our items and stepped straight into the crowd. My voice was tense but firm as I approached the students, introducing our crafts proudly — candles in recycled jars, woven bracelets, and painted wooden keychains. Attracted by our unique handmade items and eco-friendly ideas, they followed me to our booth. Maya, Jake and I smiled and served every customer warmly. Students asked about the herbs in the candles and the story behind each keychain and bracelet, their curiosity turning into purchases.
After the final bell rang, we counted our earnings eagerly. Jake’s hands trembled as he counted the bills. “Three hundred and twenty-six dollars,” he announced. We hugged with laughter and joyful tears mixed. Three hundred for the loan, and twenty-six left to share. We realized the real reward was what we had discovered about ourselves. We had started the day as three nervous students with handmade crafts, but ended it as a team who learned that courage, not products, made our business succeed.
