Back in 2003, Erica Hernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.
Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.”
Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!
As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”
4. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station?
A. It is climate-damaging. B. It is ecologically-unfriendly.
C. It provides energy to the locals. D. It uses seawater-driven generators.
5. Why does the author mention the governor?
A. To express Erica’s desperate mood. B. To show the great barriers Erica faced.
C. To stress the support from the government. D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction.
6. Which of the following can best describe Erica?
A. Creative and industrious. B. Pioneering and curious.
C. Determined and responsible. D. Adventurous and talkative.
7. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story?
A. Courage is always rewarded in the end.
B. Success depends on teamwork and cooperation.
C. Young people can bring about change by speaking up.
D. Environmental protection should come before economic development.
C
Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins. But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages.
For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract. In contrast, consonants involve disruptions of the airflow. A vowel’s basic pitch(technically called F0)is determined by the speaker’s sex and body size. But by moving tongue and lips we shape the sound into higher-pitched “formants”(F1, F2, F3, etc.). Whether we hear an “ah” or an “ee” depends on the relationship between these formants.
To humans, sperm-whale codas do not sound like pitches at all; the clicks are much too infrequent and irregular. The clicks become a continuous tone only when they occur 20 to 40 times per second. But when the whales’ silences were removed in software, the researchers could consider them as pitches nevertheless, and look more closely at their other qualities.
The next step was taken with the help of artificial intelligence(AI). The researchers used an AI system trained to learn human language to examine the codas. Gasper Begus, a linguist at the University of California and the study’s lead author, says that the AI led them to study the pitch patterns of the clicks — ones that work like human vowel sounds.
Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch. Based on this resemblance, the researchers called them the a-coda and i-coda vowels. They even found that whales could produce diphthongs — two vowels gliding quickly from one to another, like the ah-ee sound in English words like “ride” and “time”. The whales do all this often in what researchers call “conversations”.
Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other.
8. Why does the author refer to Douglas Adams’s joke about mice, dolphins and humans?
A. To illustrate a point B. To give an example
C. To make a comparison D. To introduce a topic
9. What does the word “disruptions” underlined in paragraph 2 mean?
A. complete stops B. breaks in flow C. increases in speed D. extra energy
10. What do we know about sperm whales from the passage?
A. They communicate in quite a similar way to humans.
B. They produce continuous clicks that sound like pitches.
C. They create click patterns resembling human vowels.
D. They could produce diphthongs like “ride” and “time”.
11. What can we infer about the CETI researchers from the last paragraph?
A. They have paid more attention to the whales’ vocalizations than to their behaviors.
B. They have uncovered the nature of the whales’ social behaviors and interactions.
C. They will decode the whales’ calls by observing their behaviors and interactions.
D. They will carry out more research to better understand the whales’ conversations.
D
Philosophers suffer from a bad reputation for dry and dull expression. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split.
There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like but this isn’t the only approach to philosophical inquiry. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and music. Nothing captures attention quite like an appealing tale, and there exist profoundly philosophical stories that engage and delight, rather than lull the reader to sleep.
One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which strives to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve — they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.
Consider what philosophers term the metaphysics (形而上学) of race — an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether race is real. Three primary positions can be adopted on this matter. One might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Alternatively, one might view race as socially constructed, similar to concepts like weekdays or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, one might argue that races are unreal — more comparable to mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns than to Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”).
In Black No More, George Schuyler offers a social constructionist perspective on race. The story follows a Black scientist named Crookman who invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a concluding episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin so as to look more authentically White.
Philosophically rich stories such as this breathe vitality into more technical philosophical works. They serve as narratives to think with, providing vivid, engaging access to complex abstract debates.
12. What is a crucial difference between formal philosophy and stories?
A. Stories are intended to be more precise.
B. Formal philosophy avoids abstract ideas.
C. Stories inspire appreciation and critical thinking.
D. Formal philosophy exists in academic journals only.
13. Which category might “national identity” fall into according to paragraph 4?
A. Biological realism. B. Anti-realism.
C. Social constructionism. D. Literary realism.
14. What message is conveyed in the novel Black No More?
A. Race is actually real. B. Race is entirely fictional.
C. Race is biologically fixed. D. Race is socially shaped.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To criticize philosophical writing for being boring.
B. To argue that stories are superior to formal philosophy.
C. To detail three metaphysical perspectives regarding race.
D. To demonstrate literature’s capacity to explore philosophy.
第二节 七选五（10分）
Sleep inertia (惰性) is a short-term feeling of sleepiness you can experience after waking up from a short sleep or long sleep. Sleep inertia can cause both mental and physical symptoms (症状), such as experiencing slow reaction times and being in a bad mood. These symptoms are most noticeable immediately after waking up. ____16____ However, some people may experience sleep inertia symptoms for up to two hours.
When you sleep, your body cycles through several stages of sleep. ____17____ Sleep inertia seems to happen when this awakening process is disrupted (打断). Sleep inertia is more likely to happen when you’ve woken up suddenly from the deep sleep stage, or when you’ve woken up during the middle of the night.
____18____ One idea is that deep sleep brain waves haven’t weakened yet when you wake. Another possibility is that too much adenosine, a sleep chemical, builds up and causes sleepiness. Other experts think sleep inertia may also occur because sudden waking reduces blood flow to the brain.
Sleep inertia is common and considered to be a normal experience. But some people may be more likely to experience sleep inertia. For example, duty workers often experience sleep inertia due to irregular sleep schedules. And people with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, often experience sleep disorders. ____19____
To reduce sleep inertia, experts recommend improving your sleep habits. This involves following a regular sleep-wake schedule by going to bed and getting up at the same times every day. ____20____ If you nap during the day, keep the nap under 30minutes, as this helps avoid deep sleep and waking sleepiness.
A. These factors can make waking up harder.
B. Sleep inertia becomes less common with age.
C. In most cases, sleep inertia is a normal experience.
D. For most, sleepiness disappears within half an hour.
E. Your body needs time to adapt to waking up from sleep.
F. Experts have suggested some explanations for sleep inertia.
G. It also includes getting at least seven hours of sleep per night.
三、完形填空（15分）
A few weeks ago, while accidentally listening to a radio programme, a piece about laughter caught my ear. I was ____21____ the health benefits claimed by the presenters. I wondered if it was possible to add more ____22____ into my days, or if this was just a deeply ____23____ idea born from too many coffees? Curious and slightly excited, I decided to begin my journey ____24____ laughter.
At first, the task felt strange. I asked friends and family to ____25____ me with “funny memories”. However, they either said they’d get back to me and didn’t, or pointed me to online videos.
Next, I ____26____ “laughter yoga” recommended online. Laughter yoga, I discovered, was a combination of facial expressions and fake chuckles (假笑) that, when ____27____ together, result in a farewell ceremony to any pride you ever had. I kept ____28____, until looked up at my two-year-old son who was ____29____ by my expressions. His concern caught me off guard and ultimately I ____30____ laughing, — although I refused to ____31____ laughter yoga for this. Changing your diet can also raise your ____32____, experts say, but I didn’t try that. Perhaps I should have gone to the HahaHouse Museum of Laughter in Croatia, but the cost of getting there would have made my laughter ____33____.
Ultimately, what I realised is that it’s not particularly ____34____ to try and create daily laughter. Those “funny memories” should be cared for and ____35____ in moments of sadness or nostalgia. But do stay away from laughter yoga.

四、语法填空（15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Scots may well have standardized golf as we know it, making ____36____ a game of 18 holes. But it is still uncertain ____37____ first came up with the idea. The Romans played a game called paganica, in which a ball stuffed with feathers and wool ____38____ (hit) with a bent stick, while the Dutch played a stick-and-ball game called colf as early as the 13th century.
But the most interesting — and in many ways convincing — evidence ever ____39____ (document) of an early version of golf comes from China. A game called chuiwan became popular in the Song dynasty. Players used ten clubs to hit wooden balls towards ____40____ (bright) coloured flags — sound familiar? They had a club for long distances, a precursor (前身) of the modern-day driver, and the tee was called the ji, or base ____41____ English.
There was even an early version of the R&A Rules of Golf: Wan Jing, or The Classic of the Ball, published during the Yuan dynasty. It ____42____ (lay) out the rules, and placed great ____43____ (emphasize) on sportsmanship and correct behaviour — similar to modern golf. There’s also a reference in an ancient book to an official of the Southern Tang dynasty ____44____ (tell) his daughter to “dig holes in the ground” so he could hit a ball into them using a special stick.
The game seems ____45____ (die) out in China during the Qing dynasty, but it certainly qualifies as a royal and ancient game.

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。
When my daughters reached third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend had short legs and long floppy (松垂的) ears, with a furry coat and tiny spots across her nose. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my girls begged me to keep her.
She was not more than twelve weeks old. She had no identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the Lost and Found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely, I thought.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very clever and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the Lost and Found section in the local paper. One particular ad caught my attention and my heart sank. Someone was searching for a lost puppy near our grade school. He sounded desperate. My hands shook. I could not ask myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly put the paper aside and tried to ignore it. I never said anything about it to the kids or my husband.
We named the puppy Molly. She followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, she was one step behind them. When they did housework, she was there to help.
There was only one problem with this perfect dog: My conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy the person was desperately looking for.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone.

【答案】 My Experience of Environmental Protection
Last summer, I joined a community cleanup at a nearby riverbank. Armed with gloves and bags, my classmates and I spent the morning collecting plastic bottles, wrappers, and other litter that polluted the water and harmed wildlife. Though the work was tiring under the hot sun, seeing the cleared bank and cleaner water filled us with pride.
This experience deeply influenced me. It made me realize that even small individual actions can create positive change. Since then, I have become more conscious of reducing waste, reusing items, and encouraging others to protect our environment.

With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. Secretly I was praying no one would answer, but a woman did. As I described the dog to her in detail, her voice shook with excitement and she wanted to come over right away. Within minutes I heard a vehicle stop at the driveway and some footsteps stop at the door. Head cradled in my hands and heart hammering, I had a thousand thoughts crossing my mind: I could pretend I wasn’t home or tell her “I’m sorry you have the wrong address”. But it was too late. The bell rang and Molly was barking.
Opening the door, I saw a woman with a little girl sitting in a small wheelchair. One look at Molly, the little girl’s face lit up. “Here, Lucy,” she yelled. “Come here!” Molly instantly obeyed, wagging her tail wildly. My heart sank. Seemingly sensing my feelings, the woman explained that Lucy (Molly) was more than just a puppy to her daughter, who was left crippled for life in an accident. “Lucy gave her a reason to live,” she choked. Suddenly I felt relieved. As they pulled out of the drive, I smiled, knowing I had done the right thing—that puppy was exactly where she belonged.
