第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
A
Once considered a gateway to hell, the Central America Volcanic Arc is now a playground for volcano enthusiasts from around the world. Whether you tackle several volcanoes on a single trip or take them on one by one, these four volcanoes in Central America are ready for adventurers to explore.
The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador
The Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Ilamatepec, is the highest volcano in El Salvador. Standing at 7812ft above sea level, it’s the third-highest point in the country. Santa Ana’s crater is one of the largest in the world. Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean.
Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica
Situated in a 54 sq mile national park, the expansive Volcán Rincón de la Vieja, which translates to “old lady’s nook”, is an hour and a half from the town of Liberia. Eruptions in 2021 have closed off hikes to the 6217ft summit. There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft.
Barú Volcano in Panama
Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant (休眠的) volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise. About 250 species of birds call Parque Nacional Volcán Barú home, including the elusive quetzal. The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise. The dry season(February to April)is the best time to go.
Cerro Negro in Nicaragua
Just 160 years old, Cerro Negro is the youngest volcano in Central America. Reaching heights of 2388ft, the Nicaraguan volcano located just outside of Leon is one of the most active in the region. But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing(or volcano surfing)is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity. Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano.
1. Which activity is unique in Barú Volcano
A. Surfing. B. Birdwatching. C. Hiking. D. Swimming.
2. Which place is recommended for racing down slopes
A. Barú Volcano in Panama B. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua
C. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador D. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica
3. What do the four volcanoes in Central America have in common
A. They offer the stunning sunset. B. They are situated in national parks.
C. They are suitable for hikers. D. They are full of pure joy.
B
There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, loitering in the background, whose contribution to the chat remains minimal, if not extinct. That friend is me.
As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier. The phrase “Sorry I missed this” became my go-to line. When a new group chat is created, the members will always come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within hours.
But I’m not terrible at replying to everyone. I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story.
Group chats are even harder: conversations move so fast that missing just five minutes means I’m behind on 67 messages about parties, movies or dates. Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’ texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand.
Recently, I asked Billy about my bad texting. He’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth: “You take 3-5 days to reply if we’re lucky.” Ouch — but probably not wrong. Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.”
Now I think about our group roles — the chatty one, the caller, the non-responder. All contribute and express love in different ways.
As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age Or I’m just bad at replying to messages There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet.
4. What can be inferred about the author as a responder from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. She feels stressed to reply. B. She puts the vital first.
C. She prefers calling to texting. D. She fails to reply to friends.
5. What does the underlined word “quicksand” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. A list often ignored. B. An endless cycle.
C. A game of rapid replies. D. A tool for classification.
6. Why does the author mention Billy in paragraph 5
A. To praise her friends are tolerant. B. To stress she’s made erforts in texting.
C. To prove her texting habit causes problems. D. To show her texting doesn’t hurt her friendship.
7. What is the author’s tone
A. Humorous. B. Formal. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
C
At a rehabilitation center in Beijing, a 76-year-old man who once relied on a caregiver can now walk independently with the help of a robotic exoskeleton that learns his movement patterns. Such technologies, once considered science fiction, are becoming more common as China responds to the needs of its fast-aging population.
The eldercare robot industry is expanding quickly. Provinces such as Beijing and Jiangsu have released political plans encouraging the adoption of intelligent robots in institutions and households. China has also led the creation of an international technical standard for eldercare robots, setting requirements for design and safety. Moreover, with over 310 million Chinese aged 60 or above, many seniors need support with mobility, daily activities, or emotional companionship. Robotics companies report increased inquiries as families search for reliable solutions for aging relatives.
While eldercare robots are still in the early stages of development compared to industrial robots, some users are already beginning to enjoy the convenience these technologies provide. Nursing homes in tech-centered cities like Shenzhen integrate robots that play chess with residents, provide mobility support, and deliver AI-assisted therapy.
Experts say eldercare robots still face multiple obstacles before they can be deployed on a large scale. On the consumer side, some seniors remain skeptical. “Robots are too cold and emotionless. I just can’t accept them,” said Qu Suling, a 66-year-old resident. “If a machine malfunctions, it could hurt me,” she added. Another major hurdle is access to real-world data needed to improve algorithms and the user experience. To improve algorithms and user experiences, companies need large volumes of real-world training data, according to Ji Junjie, an algorithm specialist. “We have limited opportunities to enter seniors’ homes or eldercare facilities,” Ji said. The high prices of many eldercare robots represent another significant barrier, as they are well beyond the reach of most households.
Experts argue that breakthroughs in core technology, affordability, and data access are essential for eldercare robots to realize their potential. As China advances AI and robotics, these innovations may significantly support healthy aging and improve life for millions of older adults.
8. Which major factor contributes to the rapid development of eldercare robots in China
A. A decline in traditional medical services. B. Policy support and rising demand.
C. Financial investment in eldercare centers. D. Joint efforts made by many provinces.
9. Which is NOT the barrier to the large-scale application of eldercare robots
A. Insufficient access to real-life usage. B. High prices which are unaffordable.
C. Lack of promotion from high-tech firms. D. Distrust and hesitation from the elderly.
10. What can be inferred about the future of eldercare robots
A. They will replace human caregivers in the short term.
B. Their development will slow down as prices increase.
C. They may be more popular with younger population.
D. They can greatly improve the lives of older adults.
11. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. High-Technology is Used in Medical Care
B. The Elderly Weigh the Use of Elderly Robots
C. Robotics Elderly Expands with Aging Population
D. An Old Man Benefits from Elderly Robot Industry
D
People’s noses get colder when they’re feeling stressed, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sussex, in England, looked at the temperature of people’s faces to see if it changed when they were nervous or under pressure.
Professor Gillian Forrester, who studies brains and behaviour at the University of Sussex, led the study. She recorded 29 people with a thermal imaging camera (热成像摄像机) to see what happened when they were stressed. First, the volunteers were exposed to white noise for five minutes. Then they had to perform two tasks in front of a silent group of strangers. They had to give an unplanned presentation and they had to do maths in their head and say their answers out loud.
From the results of the study, it was found that people’s nose temperature dropped by between 3℃ and 6℃ when they were under pressure. This is because the blood in their faces goes to their ears and eyes, which are important senses for detecting danger. The researchers were able to see the change in blood flow on the thermal imaging camera because places that were warmer had more blood. Once the stress was over, the blood in people’s faces returned to where it usually was within a few minutes. Forrester told the BBC that the length of time it takes someone’s nose to recover its temperature could be a measure of how well they manage their stress.
Humans aren’t the only ones who could benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes the blood flow in the faces of animals that are closely related to humans, such as chimpanzees, a kind of small ape (猿). Researchers hope that thermal imaging cameras could help them to look after rescued animals in ape reserves.
“They can’t say how they’re feeling and they can be quite good at masking how they’re feeling,” Marlane Paisley, who studies ape well-being at the University of Sussex, told the BBC. The temperature of an ape’s face could help people understand how they are feeling and how to make them feel better too.
12. What did the volunteers do during the experiment
A. They gave a theme-specific presentation. B. They talked with a group of strangers.
C. They discussed maths problems aloud. D. They listened to white noise for a while.
13. What makes the nose temperature drop under pressure
A. Less blood flows to the nose. B. People breathe more slowly.
C. The nose produces more sweat. D. The brain sends less oxygen to the face.
14. Why do researchers plan to use thermal imaging cameras on apes
A. To check their body temperature. B. To examine their blood flow changes.
C. To help figure out their emotional states. D. To study how stress influences their behaviors.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Nervous apes need care. B. Noses become cold easily.
C. Noses reveal pressure levels. D. Stress cools humans’ bodies.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. ____16____
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. ____17____ Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. ____18____ The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
____19____ The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. ____20____ Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A. Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.

【答案】Version 1:
Dear Chris,
I’m delighted to learn about your interest in traditional Chinese culture. Today, I’m writing to highly recommend a book that I believe you will truly enjoy — The Analects of Confucius.
This book is a collection of Confucius’ teachings, which have profoundly shaped Chinese values for over two thousand years. What makes it worth reading is not only its historical significance but also its timeless wisdom. For instance, the saying “Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you” offers a universal moral principle that still guides people’s behavior today. Its language is simple but profound, making it easy for foreigners to interpret.
I’m firmly convinced that this book will give you a deeper insight into Chinese philosophy. Let me know if you decide to read it — I’d love to discuss it with you.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
Version 2:
Dear Chris,
Knowing you are crazy about Chinese traditional culture, I strongly recommend the Palace Museum to you.
Located in the heart of Beijing, it was the royal palace of ancient China. It has wonderful ancient buildings, precious artworks and a long history. It fully shows Chinese architectural art, history and etiquette(礼仪), royal culture and ancient wisdom ，representing the soul of traditional Chinese culture.
Visiting it helps you experience real Chinese culture deeply.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
Version 3:
Dear Chris,
I’m delighted to hear you’re keen on Chinese traditional culture. I’d like to recommend the movie Mulan.
The film tells the story of Hua Mulan, who disguises herself as a man to take her father’s place in the army. It shows filial piety (孝道), courage and traditional Chinese values. Besides, you can enjoy beautiful ancient Chinese clothing and scenes.
It fully presents filial piety and loyalty, which are important virtues deeply rooted in Chinese culture.
I believe it will help you better understand our culture. Hope you love it!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
