“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in
a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not
just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she
teaches in such an innovative way.
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a
range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,
they’re asked to “come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming,
students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (发
光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the
desert, for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or
snakes ” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by
animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their
anticipated benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The
neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not I can’t do it. It’s we can do it.
Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
4. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way
A. She’s bettering ways to power cars.
B. She’s inspiring students to address real problems.
C. She’s making science classes more accessible.
D. She’s helping students stay informed of climate change.
5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity.
C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions.
6. How is the last paragraph mainly developed
A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example.
7. Which best describes Milks’ way of teaching
A. It ignores practical application. B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C. It encourages creative problem-solving. D. It highlights the risks of climate change.
C
The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an
environment that helped fruits evolve, thus indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors,
according to new research.
More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed
their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. After their extinction, the
forests grew back thicker, seeds and fruits increased substantially in size.
Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to
grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and
tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. The trees that moved farther
away from their mother trees were very delighted because they didn’t have to put up with the same diseases that
their mothers had. That’s an evolutionary incentive.
However, there hasn’t been much evidence to support this theory. To address this, the research team created a
model where seed and fruit size increased as a response to the darker forest understory(下层植被) that followed
dinosaur extinction. The data suggested about 35 million years ago, seeds started getting smaller, because land
animals had once again become sufficiently large to have a similar effect on the forests.
“The evolutionary pressure for seed size to increase began to decline. Thus, we were able to explain the trends
in seed size over time without considering external influences such as climate change,” Researchers said.
Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging
practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the
role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent
restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones.
8. Why were seed sizes smaller before dinosaurs’ extinction
A. Because trees had sufficient light. B. Because climate change intensified.
C. Because trees grew enormous in the forest. D. Because seeds were consumed and distributed.
9. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “incentive” in paragraph 3
A. Characteristic. B. Proof. C. Origin. D. Motivation.
10. What may influence the fruit size in modern society
A. The continuous deforestation. B. The selective lighting system.
C. The evolutionary pressure. D. The genetically engineered seeds.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Dinosaurs: The Ecosystem Engineers. B. Humans: The Modern-Day Dinosaurs.
C. Love fruit Thank Dinosaur Mass Extinction. D. Feel surprised Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity.
D
After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day
around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of
a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded
in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that lasts across the ages.
But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed
was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’s “David” had only his fig
leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors;
visitors preferred the artist’s sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in
1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard
of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann
Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions
fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’
s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia
University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way
people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue
over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.
12. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous
A. The semi-smile. B. The theft. C. The report. D. The painter.
13. What does Rochelle think of classics
A. Lasting. B. Fading. C. Changeable. D. Admirable.
14. How does the author develop paragraph 4
A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an explanation.
C. By giving a description. D. By offering examples.
15. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C. The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.

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。
I’ve recently become interested in mountain climbing. It’s mainly due to my friend Tim, an experienced hiker.
Initially, I saw hiking as pointless — exhausting muscles under the burning sun, carrying heavy loads, with no
easy way back. Why endure (忍受) that
Last month, Tim convinced me to join him in climbing a small hill. To my surprise, the view from the top was
breathtaking. I witnessed an amazing sunset over the sea. That humble peak offered unexpected joy, awakening a
desire for more — cloud seas, sunrises, and bird’s-eye views. After a few more mountain climbing attempts, I
declared, “I will challenge the Hero’s Route!” It was a demanding 20-kilometer trail (小径) across several high
peaks, a test of “heroes.”
But Tim tried to cool me down. “It’s not easy,” he warned. “It requires training, not just enthusiasm.” But I
believed “Nothing is impossible in front of a willing heart,” so the following weekend I set off alone without telling
Tim. I decided to give him a big surprise.
At the foot of the mountain, I saw some groups of climbers with walkie-talkies. I laughed — real heroes
journey alone. The first peak was rewarding, with cool winds and glimpses of the sea. But as I pushed onward, the
trail turned wild and rugged. Steep rocks forced me to crawl on all fours. The sky darkened, threatening rain.
Tiredness set in, and the other climbers had all overtaken me, leaving me completely alone. The trail seemed
endless. Rain soon poured and I was wet through. The rocks became slippery, making every step a struggle. To
make matters worse, my phone had no signal. Desperation mounted in me.
Around 5:30 PM, there were still two peaks ahead. Exhausted and having barely progressed, I found a weak
signal on my phone and hurriedly called Tim. He was shocked, but after checking my location, he calmly gave me
instructions. “Stop going ahead. You’ve just passed a side trail down to a village. It is marked with a blue ribbon
(丝带). Find it and take the path — I’ll meet you midway.”
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。
But now I hesitated, because taking the side trail meant failure.
____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________
Climbing down the path to the village at night was still very challenging.

“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in
a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not
just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she
teaches in such an innovative way.
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a
range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,
they’re asked to “come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming,
students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (发
光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the
desert, for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or
snakes ” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by
animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their
anticipated benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The
neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not I can’t do it. It’s we can do it.
Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
4. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way
A. She’s bettering ways to power cars.
B. She’s inspiring students to address real problems.
C. She’s making science classes more accessible.
D. She’s helping students stay informed of climate change.
5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity.
C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions.
6. How is the last paragraph mainly developed
A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example.
7. Which best describes Milks’ way of teaching
A. It ignores practical application. B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C. It encourages creative problem-solving. D. It highlights the risks of climate change.

The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an
environment that helped fruits evolve, thus indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors,
according to new research.
More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed
their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. After their extinction, the
forests grew back thicker, seeds and fruits increased substantially in size.
Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to
grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and
tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. The trees that moved farther
away from their mother trees were very delighted because they didn’t have to put up with the same diseases that
their mothers had. That’s an evolutionary incentive.
However, there hasn’t been much evidence to support this theory. To address this, the research team created a
model where seed and fruit size increased as a response to the darker forest understory(下层植被) that followed
dinosaur extinction. The data suggested about 35 million years ago, seeds started getting smaller, because land
animals had once again become sufficiently large to have a similar effect on the forests.
“The evolutionary pressure for seed size to increase began to decline. Thus, we were able to explain the trends
in seed size over time without considering external influences such as climate change,” Researchers said.
Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging
practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the
role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent
restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones.
8. Why were seed sizes smaller before dinosaurs’ extinction
A. Because trees had sufficient light. B. Because climate change intensified.
C. Because trees grew enormous in the forest. D. Because seeds were consumed and distributed.
9. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “incentive” in paragraph 3
A. Characteristic. B. Proof. C. Origin. D. Motivation.
10. What may influence the fruit size in modern society
A. The continuous deforestation. B. The selective lighting system.
C. The evolutionary pressure. D. The genetically engineered seeds.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Dinosaurs: The Ecosystem Engineers. B. Humans: The Modern-Day Dinosaurs.
C. Love fruit Thank Dinosaur Mass Extinction. D. Feel surprised Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity.

After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day
around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of
a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded
in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that lasts across the ages.
But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed
was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’s “David” had only his fig
leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors;
visitors preferred the artist’s sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in
1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard
of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann
Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions
fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’
s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia
University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way
people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue
over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence.
12. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous
A. The semi-smile. B. The theft. C. The report. D. The painter.
13. What does Rochelle think of classics
A. Lasting. B. Fading. C. Changeable. D. Admirable.
14. How does the author develop paragraph 4
A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an explanation.
C. By giving a description. D. By offering examples.
15. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C. The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.

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。
I’ve recently become interested in mountain climbing. It’s mainly due to my friend Tim, an experienced hiker.
Initially, I saw hiking as pointless — exhausting muscles under the burning sun, carrying heavy loads, with no
easy way back. Why endure (忍受) that
Last month, Tim convinced me to join him in climbing a small hill. To my surprise, the view from the top was
breathtaking. I witnessed an amazing sunset over the sea. That humble peak offered unexpected joy, awakening a
desire for more — cloud seas, sunrises, and bird’s-eye views. After a few more mountain climbing attempts, I
declared, “I will challenge the Hero’s Route!” It was a demanding 20-kilometer trail (小径) across several high
peaks, a test of “heroes.”
But Tim tried to cool me down. “It’s not easy,” he warned. “It requires training, not just enthusiasm.” But I
believed “Nothing is impossible in front of a willing heart,” so the following weekend I set off alone without telling
Tim. I decided to give him a big surprise.
At the foot of the mountain, I saw some groups of climbers with walkie-talkies. I laughed — real heroes
journey alone. The first peak was rewarding, with cool winds and glimpses of the sea. But as I pushed onward, the
trail turned wild and rugged. Steep rocks forced me to crawl on all fours. The sky darkened, threatening rain.
Tiredness set in, and the other climbers had all overtaken me, leaving me completely alone. The trail seemed
endless. Rain soon poured and I was wet through. The rocks became slippery, making every step a struggle. To
make matters worse, my phone had no signal. Desperation mounted in me.
Around 5:30 PM, there were still two peaks ahead. Exhausted and having barely progressed, I found a weak
signal on my phone and hurriedly called Tim. He was shocked, but after checking my location, he calmly gave me
instructions. “Stop going ahead. You’ve just passed a side trail down to a village. It is marked with a blue ribbon
(丝带). Find it and take the path — I’ll meet you midway.”
注意：

【答案】
But now I hesitated, because taking the side trail meant failure. I stood there, looking at the two peaks ahead.
The rain was still pouring down, and the rocks were getting more and more slippery. I thought about my decision to
challenge the Hero’s Route. Was it just for a moment of pride Or was it really a test of my will I took a deep
breath. Maybe Tim was right. Training is necessary. But at this moment, safety is more important. I decided to take
the side trail. After all, there will be more opportunities to challenge in the future.
Climbing down the path to the village at night was still very challenging. The path was narrow and dark. I had to
be very careful. But I was not alone. I knew Tim was waiting for me midway. As I walked, I thought about my
experience. Although I didn’t complete the Hero’s Route this time, I learned a lot. I learned to respect nature and
my own strength. When I finally saw Tim’s figure in the distance, I felt a sense of relief. We hugged each other.
“You made the right decision,” Tim said. I nodded. This experience will definitely make me a better climber in the
future.
