三、阅读理解：本大题共11小题，共27.5分。
A
I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能障碍的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5:30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths couldn’t bring me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I chose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to send emails to about 50 Harvard students to ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SAT when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

After South American cane toads (甘蔗蟾蜍) were introduced to Australia in the 1930s to control pests (害虫), they damaged the country’s ecosystems — and their disturbance continues today. These animals release poison from their skin, killing pets and other animals that eat them. The yellow-spotted monitor, a big lizard (蜥蜴) found mainly in Australia, has been especially hard-hit; populations have declined by more than 90 percent in most areas where cane toads invaded (侵扰), with chain effects on the entire ecosystems. Now, to address the problem, scientists are experimenting with a surprising way to keep the lizards from eating the toads.
For a study in Conservation Letters, researchers tested an idea: releasing cane toad eggs and youngsters in areas where monitors are present and adult toads are about to invade. Previous research had shown that monitors are only sickened — not killed — when they eat young cane toads, and that they therefore have a chance to learn to avoid the more poisonous adults in future encounters.
For the new work, the researchers first identified seven areas in Australia’s Kimberley region that would soon be overrun by cane toads. They then released a total of about 200,000 eggs and young cane toads across three of the seven sites during two years’ wet seasons.
The study found that monitor populations exposed to the young “teacher toads” often survived the adults’ invasion. In completely unexposed areas, however, the lizards virtually disappeared after the big toads showed up. “It’s a management strategy that’s now being adopted by wildlife management agencies based on our study,” says Georgia Ward-Fear, lead author of the study.
“ This research provides much hope for reducing the impacts of invasive species on native biodiversity,” says Jodi Rowley, a conservation biologist who wasn’t involved in the study. She adds, however, that although this approach is “extremely exciting,” each invasive species is likely to interact with its surroundings in different ways, and specific research is needed to find effective methods for protecting other animals and ecosystems.
10.How can the effects of introducing cane toads to Australia be described
A. Unexpected. B. Satisfying. C. Temporary. D. Insignificant.
11.What can we infer about cane toads
A. They use poison to hunt.
B. Adults travel far to lay eggs.
C. They are more active during wet seasons.
D. Youngsters pose less of a threat than adults.
12.What can we say about the researchers’ experiment
A. It confirmed their assumptions.
B. It changed their research goals.
C. It disagreed with previous research.
D. It inspired research on invasive species.
13.What is Jodi Rowley’s attitude to the new method
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Approving. D. Objective.
C
In the early hours of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese was attacked violently near her New York apartment despite neighbors hearing her screams. The case made headlines in The New York Times, which reported that 38 witnesses heard the attack but took no action.
To figure out the reason, social psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latané conducted two classic experiments. Their first experiment showed that the more bystanders there were, the more an individual s sense of responsibility diffused—85% of participants helped in a one-on-one situation, while only 31% did so in a group of six. In their second smoke experiment, 75% of people alone sought help when smoke filled the room, but just 10% did so with passive bystanders around.
They pointed out that the bystander effect mainly springs from people s failure to interpret a situation as an emergency due to others inaction. The second reason for the bystander effect is that when multiple bystanders are present, each person feels less personal commitment to act, as they assume others (especially those with professional skills like doctors or police) will intervene. This phenomenon is more common in urban areas with many strangers, unlike in small communities where people feel a clear sense of responsibility to help others they know.
Recent research has cast doubt on the universality of Darley and Latané s classic bystander effect theory. Using real-world CCTV footage from three pairs of culturally diverse cities—Lancaster, Amsterdam, and Cape Town—Dr. Richard Philpot of Lancaster University and his team analyzed 212 violent incidents.
Their findings showed that bystanders intervened in 91% of cases, and in direct contradiction to the original theory, the presence of more bystanders actually increased the likelihood of intervention, with multiple people often stepping in together. The consistent types of intervention across different cities suggest we are born with the wish to help others, driven by social conventions and a desire to understand, protect, and assist others.
14.What does the underlined word "diffused" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Weakened. B. Shifted. C. Continued. D. Increased.
15.The bystander effect occurs primarily because people ________.
A. are unwilling to help strangers
B. are influenced by urbanization
C. are discouraged by professionals
D. are unable to recognize an emergency
16.Which statement does Philpot probably agree with
A. Protecting others should be advocated.
B. Bystander responses rely on intervention types.
C. The tendency to help is rooted in human nature.
D. Cultural differences lead to the bystander effect.
17.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Cold Shoulder B. The Blind Eye
C. A Willing Heart D. A Still Tongue

Going green while travelling is an effective way to protect the Earth’s natural and cultural resources. It is also a great way to establish deeper connections with local communities and the environment. To become a green sustainable traveller, you can follow these simple steps:
Travel local
If a vacation is what you need, try choosing nearby destinations and staying local. (18) This way, you get to save on time and money and avoid air travel, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Shop and eat local
Avoid eating at multinational chain restaurants or shopping in large supermarkets and brand stores. (19) This way, you’re helping keep people employed and preventing transportation across far distances.
Choose green accommodation
(20) To ensure this, you may need to find answers to questions like if the hotel is certified, or if they have a sustainability report, or what their waste management protocol (方案) and plastic policy looks like, or if their products and menus are locally sourced, and so on.
Use sustainable transport
Flying can seem easy and attractive, but it’s especially harmful to the environment. If your destination can be reached by train, consider opting for it. (21) It’s also advisable to use public transport instead of cars which burn through double the amount of fuel. If you have no option but to fly, consider booking non-stop flights instead of having layovers (转机).
Go paperless
(22) This prevents travellers from printing boarding passes, hotel reservations, and entry tickets. By going paperless, you not only help the environment but also avoid losing tickets and enjoy easy access to them at the same time.
A．A lot of attractions accept mobile tickets.

55.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。
On a cold, damp evening in mid-November, a sharp wind cut through the streets, but Jack paid little attention to the chill. As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses.
Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike.
Her understanding words calmed him but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape.
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。
Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell.
Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night.

55.【答案】Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White's doorstep and rang the bell. The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. His clothes were dusty, but the gifts in his hands were held with care. "Ms White, these are for you, "he grinned, offering the apples and milk tea. "Wishing you happiness and good health. I am truly sorry about the delay. "Tears welled up in Ms. White's eyes. "Oh, Jack! You shouldn't have walked such a long way just for this! "she said, her voice soft with emotion for his unshakable honesty, even amid his own misfortune!
Deeply moved by Jack's action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. She posted a video describing what happened, writing, "Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others. "The post quickly went viral, receiving millions of likes and shares. Strangers were touched by the ordinary man's extraordinary act. The wave of kindness soon reached his delivery company. They promptly responded, providing Jack with a brand-new e-bike and a cash reward to support his honest work. Even more wonderfully, with the help of numerous alert eyes online, his original bike was located and returned.
56.【答案】Aiming to improve students’ physical quality, our school launched an activity themed “Campus Labor Week”. It was held from May7th to 11th in our school.
