In the heart of Texas，“Bee Czar” Walter Schumacher is saving the world one hive(蜂群) at a time.And he does it without wearing a protective bee suit.What is his technique He “communicates” with the bees to avoid being bitten.Walter and his team at the American Honey Bee Protection Agency rescue hives from places they’re unwanted—inside the walls of a house or 30 feet up in a neighborhood tree—and relocate the hives where the bees can grow and pollinate(授粉) in peace.
According to Walter，every third bite of food we eat was pollinated by bees; without them，life would cease existing.But saving bees costs money，so they have got to sell honey to make money.
Walter’s business once was booming with $200,000 in yearly sales.But after losing everything in the past three years，Walter wants to rebuild his honey business so that he can afford to rescue unwanted hives.With his oldest son Will and a small but dedicated team，Walter has a plan to transform their old family farm into their new headquarters，to save more bees and sell more honey.

When continent splits occur，they usually leave traces in ancient rocks，fossils，and mountain ranges.However，around 155 million years ago，when a 5,000-kilometer land broke away from Western Australia and began its drift，it only left behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain and scientists have been unable to find where this lost continent，Argoland，disappeared to until now.
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward，potentially towards present-day Southeast Asia.But surprisingly，there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands，only small continental fragments.Using this theory，geologists discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.Unlike other continents like Africa and South America，which broke neatly into two pieces，Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed(分散的)．With advanced technology and the discovery，scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity.It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace Line，which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals，birds，and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands.The boundary has puzzled scientists for long because it clearly separates the island’s wildlife.To the west of the line are mammals like apes and elephants.But these are almost completely absent to the east，where you can find marsupials and cockatoos—animals typically associated with Australia.Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia，which helps explain why different species are found on one land.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation.As the world continues to evolve，this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility(脆弱性) of life on this planet，and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
28．What is Argoland
A．It is a basin deep below the ocean in Western Australia.
B．It is a large continent hidden beneath the islands of Southeast Asia.
C．It is a new land emerging from under the islands to the east of Indonesia.
D．It is a fragmented continent drifting from Western Australia to Southeast Asia.
29．Why is Wallace Line mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To introduce an imaginary boundary.
B．To support the assumed theory of the lost continent.
C．To show different species in Southeast Asian islands.
D．To explain the reason why scientists are puzzled about the boundary.
30．Which of the following is NOT the significance of this new discovery
A．It warns us to protect our planet.
B．It shows the creatures on earth are fragile.
C．It reminds us of the power of human activities.
D．It explains the biodiversity in Southeast Asian islands.
31．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The mystery of a lost continent has been unfolded.
B．The fragments of Indonesia have been pieced together.
C．The formation of the Argo Abyssal Plain has been discovered.
D．The evolution of species in Southeast Asian islands has been traced.
D

When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants，she didn’t have high hopes for it.But the opposite happened：She was flooded，shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone.In the past year，Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants.Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now，” says Dr.Melinda Knuth，a researcher from the University of Florida.“People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating，” she says.“Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol，the stress hormone(激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants，” says Knuth.“This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults.Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants，don’t beat yourself up if one(or a few！) doesn’t make it.“Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant.Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning.Be invested in taking care of it，but if it dies，go get another one，” Detrinidad says.
32．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started
A．It faced tough competition.
B．It suffered a great loss.
C．It got lots of financial support.
D．It went surprisingly well.
33．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants
A．They appeal more to students.
B．They purify the environment.
C．They raise the cortisol level.
D．They enhance productivity.
34．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers
A．The necessity of social skills.
B．The meaning of sustainability.
C．The importance of repeated efforts.
D．The value of professional opinions.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Time to Replace Houseplants
B．Plants Boost Your Mood
C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants
D．Plants Brighten Your Home

Amy loved to draw，and her hands，always dirty from the pencil lead，moved on the paper，showing the pictures in her mind.She would sit for hours，lost in art.Trees on her pages seemed to swing in an unseen wind，and the faces she drew wore lifelike expressions.Her clothes were old and had many patches(补丁)，which were laughed at by her classmates.Their laughter was a clear contrast to the quiet dignity with which Amy carried herself.Amy’s family did not have much money，but they loved each other very much.Her mother worked hard at many jobs to take care of them after Amy’s father got sick and died.
One day，the school announced an art contest.The announcement，with the theme “Nature and Humanity”，was met with a wave of children’s excitement，Amy in particular.The school would select the top three winners，and the head teacher would award them prizes.Children enthusiastically registered for the contest and，after thoughtful consideration，finished their own art pieces.The contest organizers gathered all submissions one week later and set up an exhibit showcasing every participant’s work in the school gym.
The school gym was filled with viewers as the walls displayed the efforts of the young artists.There were paintings of colorful landscapes where the sun burst through thick clouds.Some students had created portraits(肖像) of their heroes.In this sea of creativity，one painting stood out.In the painting，a community garden was drawn，a place where people from diverse backgrounds came together in a joint effort，their hands united in the act of planting seeds of hope and unity.Each figure was painted with such care and attention to detail that they seemed to step off the canvas，inviting the viewer to join them in their labor of love.
The exhibition would last a week，and all the students and teachers could vote for their favorite work.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

When continent splits occur，they usually leave traces in ancient rocks，fossils，and mountain ranges.However，around 155 million years ago，when a 5,000-kilometer land broke away from Western Australia and began its drift，it only left behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain and scientists have been unable to find where this lost continent，Argoland，disappeared to until now.
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward，potentially towards present-day Southeast Asia.But surprisingly，there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands，only small continental fragments.Using this theory，geologists discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.Unlike other continents like Africa and South America，which broke neatly into two pieces，Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed(分散的)．With advanced technology and the discovery，scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity.It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace Line，which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals，birds，and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands.The boundary has puzzled scientists for long because it clearly separates the island’s wildlife.To the west of the line are mammals like apes and elephants.But these are almost completely absent to the east，where you can find marsupials and cockatoos—animals typically associated with Australia.Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia，which helps explain why different species are found on one land.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation.As the world continues to evolve，this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility(脆弱性) of life on this planet，and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一个名为Argoland的失落大陆的故事。大约1.55亿年前，这块长5 000公里的土地从西澳大利亚大陆分离并开始漂移，科学家们努力探究其去向。
28．What is Argoland
A．It is a basin deep below the ocean in Western Australia.
B．It is a large continent hidden beneath the islands of Southeast Asia.
C．It is a new land emerging from under the islands to the east of Indonesia.
D．It is a fragmented continent drifting from Western Australia to Southeast Asia.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段可知，Argoland在大约1.55亿年前从西澳大利亚大陆分离出来并向东南亚方向漂移，后来分裂成许多较小的碎片并分散开来。由此可知，Argoland是一块从西澳大利亚漂移到东南亚的分散的大陆。故选D。
29．Why is Wallace Line mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To introduce an imaginary boundary.
B．To support the assumed theory of the lost continent.
C．To show different species in Southeast Asian islands.
D．To explain the reason why scientists are puzzled about the boundary.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段尤其是最后一句可知，Argoland大陆的假说可以解释华莱士线两侧的物种差异，所以提及华莱士线是为了支持关于失踪的Argoland大陆的假说。故选B。
30．Which of the following is NOT the significance of this new discovery
A．It warns us to protect our planet.
B．It shows the creatures on earth are fragile.
C．It reminds us of the power of human activities.
D．It explains the biodiversity in Southeast Asian islands.

(2025·新课标Ⅱ，C)
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants，she didn’t have high hopes for it.But the opposite happened：She was flooded，shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone.In the past year，Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants.Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now，” says Dr.Melinda Knuth，a researcher from the University of Florida.“People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating，” she says.“Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol，the stress hormone(激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants，” says Knuth.“This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults.Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants，don’t beat yourself up if one(or a few！) doesn’t make it.“Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant.Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning.Be invested in taking care of it，but if it dies，go get another one，” Detrinidad says.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过线上绿植店主Sonja Detrinidad的成功案例和佛罗里达大学研究者Melinda Knuth博士的观点，说明了室内绿植的流行趋势及其对身心健康、工作效率等的多重益处，以及人们对养护绿植应所持的积极态度。
32．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started
A．It faced tough competition.
B．It suffered a great loss.
C．It got lots of financial support.
D．It went surprisingly well.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants，she didn’t have high hopes for it.But the opposite happened：She was flooded，shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone.In the past year，Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants.”可知，一开始Detrinidad对她的线上绿植生意并不抱太大期望，但她的生意却出乎意料地好。故选D项。
33．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants
A．They appeal more to students.
B．They purify the environment.
C．They raise the cortisol level.
D．They enhance productivity.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Students who are around plants perform better academically...’．..‘This productivity also...Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.’”可知，Knuth的研究发现，接触植物的学生学业表现更好，成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中工作效率提高，因此，“植物能提升工作或学习效率”是她的发现之一。故选D项。
34．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers
A．The necessity of social skills.
B．The meaning of sustainability.
C．The importance of repeated efforts.
D．The value of professional opinions.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段Detrinidad所说的话可知，她通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的，重要的是持续努力。由此推断，她提到医生和律师是为了解释重复努力的重要性。故选C项。
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Time to Replace Houseplants
B．Plants Boost Your Mood
C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants
D．Plants Brighten Your Home
答案　B
解析　标题归纳题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起，第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低体内的皮质醇水平改善心情、提高学习、工作效率，第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文主要围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B项。

Lifelong learning is essential in today’s society.The rapid development of technology and the ever-changing job market require individuals to constantly acquire new knowledge and skills.By embracing lifelong learning，we can stay relevant，enhance our competitiveness，and adapt to the changing environment.
We can adopt various methods to achieve lifelong learning，such as attending courses，workshops，reading books and articles，participating in online learning platforms，and seeking guidance from mentors.
Let’s make continuous learning a part of our lives and benefit ourselves and society.
Sincerely，
Li Hua

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。
Amy loved to draw，and her hands，always dirty from the pencil lead，moved on the paper，showing the pictures in her mind.She would sit for hours，lost in art.Trees on her pages seemed to swing in an unseen wind，and the faces she drew wore lifelike expressions.Her clothes were old and had many patches(补丁)，which were laughed at by her classmates.Their laughter was a clear contrast to the quiet dignity with which Amy carried herself.Amy’s family did not have much money，but they loved each other very much.Her mother worked hard at many jobs to take care of them after Amy’s father got sick and died.
One day，the school announced an art contest.The announcement，with the theme “Nature and Humanity”，was met with a wave of children’s excitement，Amy in particular.The school would select the top three winners，and the head teacher would award them prizes.Children enthusiastically registered for the contest and，after thoughtful consideration，finished their own art pieces.The contest organizers gathered all submissions one week later and set up an exhibit showcasing every participant’s work in the school gym.
The school gym was filled with viewers as the walls displayed the efforts of the young artists.There were paintings of colorful landscapes where the sun burst through thick clouds.Some students had created portraits(肖像) of their heroes.In this sea of creativity，one painting stood out.In the painting，a community garden was drawn，a place where people from diverse backgrounds came together in a joint effort，their hands united in the act of planting seeds of hope and unity.Each figure was painted with such care and attention to detail that they seemed to step off the canvas，inviting the viewer to join them in their labor of love.
The exhibition would last a week，and all the students and teachers could vote for their favorite work.

参考范文
Finally came the day when the winners were announced.The day was met with a mix of excitement and anxiety.Amy stood nervously，her patched dress becoming a sharp contrast to the vibrant paintings surrounding her.The head teacher’s voice echoed through the gym as he announced the third and second place winners，each recipient receiving a round of applause.The room fell silent for the grand announcement.And the first prize goes to Amy for her captivating portrayal of Nature and Humanity，the head teacher announced.A wave of cheers washed over Amy as she stepped forward，tears of joy streaming down her face.
The children who had laughed at Amy started to see her in a new way.The tease that once followed Amy was replaced with admiration.Her classmates now saw her as a beacon of talent and inspiration.Her painting，a simple garden where diversity thrived，became a symbol of unity and harmony.Amy’s triumph resonated with her peers，who began to appreciate the inherent gifts in every individual.The whispers of disdain were replaced with praises，and Amy’s name echoed with respect.Her success not only earned her praises but also a newfound status among her peers，who now looked at her with awe and esteem.
