选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global
CO emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems
with transportation – which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas
emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and
safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still
to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will
need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more
than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to
speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018
A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%.
22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily
A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships.
23. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition
A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable.
B
Improving fitness was Dion Leonard’s inspiration for starting marathon recreationally
together with his wife Lucja, and then as race competitors. After finishing sixth in a South African
race, he traveled to China to compete in a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert. On the first day,
he noticed a small stray (流浪的) dog wandering around the campsite, where amused competitors
fed her with their own limited supplies. On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up
to each other, and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi.
Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also
overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out
competitor, ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi
survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt
Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that
proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations.
However, disasters struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to
leave China.
Despite the language barrier and the city's 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back
to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage,
inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The
reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer
together as well.
The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his
and Gobi’s story — the children's book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult
book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion's
upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything
from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.
24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Dion quickly formed a bond with Gobi.
B. The organizers provided limited supplies.
C. Gobi amused runners by chewing equipment.
D. Dogs were encouraged to accompany runners.
25. Why did Dion launch a crowdfunding campaign
A. To finance his search for Gobi.
B. To help rescue other stray dogs.
C. To cover the cost of bringing Gobi back home.
D. To obtain an approval for Gobi to leave China.
26. Which of the following best describes Dion’s books
A. Critical and cross-cultural. B. Motivational and time-honored.
C. Innovative and fantasy-rooted. D. Heartfelt and multi-dimensional.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. Animal protection is always on the way.
B. A friendship can go beyond boundaries.
C. Traveling a thousand miles makes a man.
D. Differences can be bridged with joint efforts.

A head of hair can be powerful. In the hands of a skilled stylist, your hair can help you boost
your self- confidence, express your unique personality and land a new job. However, in the hands
of matter of Trust, an ecological non-profit organization that collects and recycles waste fibers,
your hair might help save the environment.
For over 20 years, matter of Trust has been collecting hair and fur donations worldwide for the
purpose of making “hair mats(垫子)” that can assist with oil spill clean-ups at sea. Typically, oil
spills on land are cleaned up using plastic mats that are effective but environmentally problematic.
After all, plastic is made from fossil fuels. Using it to clean up oil therefore requires drilling for
even more oil. Hair and fur, on the other hand, are non-poisonous, renewable and able to take in
liquids easily. Human hair, for example, can absorb about five times its weight in oil.
“It makes more sense to use a renewable natural resource to clean up oil spills than it does to
drill for more oil to use to clean up, ” says Lisa Gautier, who established matter of Trust in1998
and designed the organization’s Clean Wave program in 2001 when an Ecuadorian oil tanker
carrying 243, 000 gallons of diesel oil ran aground on San Cristobal Island. And the leaking fuel
threatened sea creatures.
Eager to help with the disaster, Gautier teamed up with stylist Phillip McCrory, who tried to
employ hair to absorb oil in 1989. Together, they designed mats made of human hair and animal
fur which Matter of Trust continues to produce today in San Francisco, and at local centers in 17
different countries.
To date, the organization has produced over 40, 000 hair mats. The product has been shared to
clean up not only serious oil spills but also non- emergencies like oil leaks from vehicles and
machinery. However, hair mats can only be used once and aren’t very effective at absorbing oil
from sand. Still, hair mats are a surprising tool in the fight for a cleaner planet.
28. How are the advantages of hair mats showed
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By citing experts’ remarks. D. By presenting research results.
29. What made Lisa Gautier launch the Clean Wave program
A. An oil spill emergency. B. Her love for sea animals.
C. A hairstylist’s proposal. D. Globally growing oil spills.
30. What do we know about Matter of Trust
A. It is busy cleaning the land. B. It sells hair mats worldwide.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It has expanded into many countries.
31. What does the author want to say about hair mats from the last paragraph
A. They can work efficiently on beaches as well.
B. They have been widely used in our daily life.
C. They are imperfect but meaningful products.
D. They are mainly applied to the vehicle industry.
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth – they have settled
in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds
and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level
of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头 ): boiling and filtering (过滤 ) it. In a study
published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China
found that boiling tap water for just five minutes – then filtering it after it cools – could remove at
least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to
trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate
led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of
calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the
research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types –
polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene – and they didn’t study other chemicals previously
found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure – a task
that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year,
contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are – but what they do
know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake.
“The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was
nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer at the University of Glasgow in
Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into
upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
32. What is the primary focus of the first paragraph
A. The reasons behind the spread of microplastic pollution.
B. The wide-ranging presence of microplastics across the globe.
C. The specific dangers microplastics pose to human health.
D. The scientific methods used to detect microplastics.
33. According to the study, what factor plays a key role in determining how many
microplastics are removed by boiling water
A. The exact temperature reached during the boiling process.
B. The amount of calcium carbonate naturally present in the water.
C. The total volume of water being boiled and filtered.
D. The specific shape and size of the microplastic particles.
34. Why does the author refer to the findings about bottled water in the fourth paragraph
A. To contrast the safety of bottled water with that of boiled tap water.
B. To encourage readers to switch entirely to drinking boiled tap water.
C. To further stress the widespread and serious nature of the microplastic problem.
D. To explain why boiling is a more effective solution than commercial filtration.
35. What can be inferred from Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay's comment at the end of the
passage
A. She believes the study's findings are not yet practical for everyday use.
B. She suggests that improving large-scale water treatment systems should be a priority.
C. She implies that boiling water at home is the ultimate solution to the issue.
D. She questions whether microplastics are as harmful as current research suggests.

One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly
stopped me in my tracks. 36 She talked me through a life update from the opposite
side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn't
communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried
that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon
hearing my voice that I do now. 37
But recently, I've found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through
loneliness. Particularly during a season that's supposed to be all about love, I think about all the
ways that can look —specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random
voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of
connection with them. 38 There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of
listening.
39 It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an
immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t
convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a
way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based,
voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest
time in someone else. 40 It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to
hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

One August afternoon, I sat in my kitchen staring at a glass vase that hadn’t seen daylight
since my wedding.
My husband and I had just sold our house and we were busy 41 the beloved home
our family had spent 23 years filling up. We had decided on key items for the 42 we were
moving to in town, donated what we could, and rented a place to 43 our supposedly
important objects. That left a house still 44 with things that, while not particularly
45 , didn’t belong in a landfill (垃圾填埋场).
I took a picture of the vase and posted it online, for $10. A couple of messages came in, one
wanting additional 46 , another asking for a price cut. As our 47 day drew near, I
settled on a new price ($0) and reposted it. The 48 : “I hate this vase. Maybe you won’t.”
In an instant, a woman raced into my house and left happily with the vase.

ray of light in the chaos of my house. Each exchange provided a chance to 51 the landfill
and to please another person I might not otherwise have 52 .

Sitting atop the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Yunnan Province,
Azheke is a remote village populated by over 400 residents from the Hani ethnic group. The name
of the village, Azheke, translates to “a place 56 bamboo grows” in the Hani language.
Azheke is surrounded by its own 57 (mystery) atmosphere. Wooden signs hang
from trees alongside stone paths 58 (lead) to the village, warning visitors to be
cautious of unknown dangers in its forest. Further up, a row of stone fountains labeled “The
Sacred Mountain Water” 59 (peaceful) feed into the stone basins below before
flowing into the network of canals.
Twenty years ago, Azheke was just a far-off village struggling with poverty, underdeveloped
transportation and outdated farming practices. Today, that same isolation tells 60
different story.
Azheke 61 (ride) the 21st-century wave of eco-tourism and become a popular
destination. But 62 other tourism hot spots where the hunger for money flattens out
the local culture and leaves residents behind, the village’s path to prosperity has been built through
the “Azheke Plan”, which makes the villagers both the owners and beneficiaries of the local
tourism resources and provides 63 (reward) to those who preserve the heritage.
The “Azheke Plan” has become a model of 64 rural tourism and heritage
protection can work together to create meaningful experiences for the world to enjoy. With plans
65 (introduce) the Azheke model in more remote regions in the near future, a new path is
being paved for sustainable rural revitalization nationwide.

Possible Version 1:
Dear Jenny,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. To me, the best school
moments happen all around us, so I’m all for “Fun at School”.
This column could be our little time capsule, capturing those tiny bursts of joy that make school
feel alive. Whether it’s a sudden outbreak of laughter in class, a hilarious “Oops!” echoing down
the hallway, or a joke that spreads faster than campus Wi-Fi, there’s so much fun we live through
but rarely stop to savor. In a fast-paced academic world, this could be a breath of fresh air,
reminding us that fun isn’t a distraction from learning, but a beautiful part of it. In time, these
pages may fade, but the moments they hold never will.
Eager to see how our story unfolds, one laugh at a time!
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible Version 2:
Dear Jenny,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. Both columns sound
fantastic, but if I had to choose, I’d go with “Guess Who I Am”.
Why Because it turns our classmates into stories. It invites us to look closer, listen deeper, spot
the quirks, and maybe even celebrate the so-called “troublemakers” who are often just misread. I
imagine this as a bridge, light and curious, arching over difference and distance. With every
clue dropped, we step closer to the heart of someone we thought we knew, or never really noticed
at all. And let’s be honest, it’s the kind of thing people will rush to read!
Thanks for bringing such fresh ideas to the table.
Can’t wait to see it come to life, and I’m already trying to guess who the first one might be!
Yours,
Li Hua
