Nici Mense, the New York Jets’ first full-time dietitian, faces the demanding task of managing the daily nutritional needs of professional athletes. Recently, she has successfully completed her seventh season with the team.
Properly fueling players so that they feel the difference in their performance is something she learned while playing soccer at university. “I found soccer to be more demanding on my body than I had expected, and I needed to maintain my energy through proper nutrition to match my performance on the field,” she said. “This realization changed my perspective. I’ve always loved sports and food, so combining the two made the most sense.”
Mense joined the New York Jets and has stayed in tune with the team’s schedule. “My hours vary from time to time,” she said. “It’s the busiest during training camp through the end of the season. We will work seven days a week unless it’s our bye week, when we don’t play a game during the season. We ensure players fuel properly before, during and after practice. They receive recovery shakes, snacks and fruit for post-practice recovery. While they are in training throughout the day, that’s my time to plan for the weeks ahead.”
Mense describes herself as “obsessed” with her field, constantly evolving and gaining knowledge. “If I am the same dietitian three years from now, then I am doing something wrong,” she declared. “The more open-minded I am, and the more I am able to learn as a professional, the better I can help athletes with their goals.”
Occasionally, athletes need a warm-up period when working with a dietitian. “It can be quite challenging to prove that dietitians are here to help them and that we are not the food police,” said Mense. “There are times when a player doesn’t listen to the education and injures themselves. But it’s always so awesome to see when it works for them.” Nevertheless, Mense feels fulfilled in her role and continues to push the athletes, knowing that nutrition is key to fueling performance, recovery and long-term health.
By staying at the forefront of her field, Mense provides athletes with essential nutrition strategies to support their performance, recovery, and long-term health. With her dedication and expertise, it’s clear that professional athletes are truly eating their way to victory.
24．What motivated Mense to choose her career
A．Her experience of playing soccer.
B．Her ambition to make life changes.
C．Her admiration for athletes’ spirits.
D．Her dream of being a professional athlete.
25．What can we learn about Mense
A．She takes a break when players are in training.
B．She keeps her professional knowledge updated.
C．Her priority is to provide post-game recovery meals.
D．She works seven days a week during the season period.
26．Why does Mense sometimes find it hard to work with the athletes
A．They put their own interests first. B．They complain about their diet.
C．They disagree about the schedule. D．They doubt her role in the team.
27．Which words can best describe Mense
A．Determined and generous. B．Humble and innovative.
C．Talkative and open-minded. D．Enthusiastic and committed.
C
Flashy, high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment — but are falling far short of expectations. Now a growing number of scientists are trying a much simpler approach: collecting truckloads of logs, branches and sawdust and burying them.
The concept of wood burial is straightforward: instead of constructing massive machines to collect atmospheric carbon dioxide and put it miles down into the Earth, people simply shift materials from Earth’s fast-paced biological carbon cycle into the much-slower geological (地质的) carbon cycle.
“Every year, plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil (化石) fuel release. But almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die,” says Ning Zeng, a University of Maryland climate scientist, who has been a leader in a related field for two decades and was not involved in the new research.
However, if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt — where bacteria no longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood — none or very little of it is released. If even a small number of woody pieces that decompose aboveground each year were treated this way, it would be easier to achieve the 10 billion tons per year of carbon that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agrees must be achieved by 2050 in order to keep the planet’s temperature rise to less than 2℃.
Trees in logging-focused forests take up roughly 170 billion tons of carbon every year, 14 billion tons of which finds its way into wood. The researchers say that all of this wood eventually ends up being wasted in one form or another. If all this wood could be collected and buried instead of burned or allowed to decompose, those 14 billion tons of carbon would be safely removed every year. And according to the research team’s models, that would remove a grand total of at least 770 billion tons from the atmosphere by 2100, turning the global temperature down by at least 0.352℃.
28．What are the high-tech proposals like in the first paragraph
A．Complicated but promising. B．Less effective than expected.
C．More advanced than imagined. D．Cost-saving and widely applied.
29．What do Ning Zeng’s words show
A．Burying wood is a way to handle the carbon problem.
B．The plant life cycle is a major contributor to carbon release.
C．Fossil fuel release is a source of carbon absorption by plants.
D．Carbon absorbed by plants is permanently stored in their bodies.
30．How does wood burial prevent carbon from being released
A．By speeding up the biological carbon cycle.
B．By providing enough oxygen for bacteria to work.
C．By constructing massive machines to process wood.
D．By creating an oxygen-lacking environment underground.
31．What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to
A．The decomposition of wood aboveground.
B．The process of collecting and burning wood.
C．The research teams model about carbon reduction.
D．The action of collecting and burying all wasted wood.
D
The soft song of the wren (鹪鹩) once commonly marked sunrise in the central Amazon jungle. But recently, it was a rare wonder when the song cut through the morning darkness. This has received little public attention, yet it is ringing alarm bells among bird scientists. According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.
By comparing long-term bird monitoring data over recent decades, researchers have found birds are disappearing from surprising places — expanses of forest untouched by fires, logging or human clearing. These aren’t migratory species in decline because of habitat loss on distant continents; many spend their entire lives in a single area of trees. Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent.
Given that insect populations are highly sensitive to temperature and rainfall changes, scientists suspect climate change might be the underlying cause of the birds’ decline. To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon. They set up irrigation systems in undisturbed forest plots, supplementing dry-season rainfall to reproduce the wetter conditions of the 1980s. Early results are promising: compared with birds in unwatered areas, those in watered areas have higher fat levels, fewer stress signals and more active reproductive behavior.
Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests. Higher dry-season temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns damage the food chain by reducing insect numbers.
Although the research might help explain why birds are disappearing, it may not point to any solutions. “The best that we can do is really try to slow down climate change as much as possible,” says Corey Tarwater, a University of Wyoming ecologist.
32．What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1
A．Damage to forest bird habitats. B．Secrets of biodiversity reserves.
C．Decline of forest bird populations. D．Threats to endangered bird species.
33．What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．Forest birds hardly rely on insects for food. B．Food shortage accounts for the loss of birds.
C．Migratory birds are facing greater challenges. D．Human activities are to blame for bird decline.
34．Why did researchers conduct the Amazon experiment
A．To figure out effects of climate on birds. B．To restore damaged rainforest ecosystems.
C．To increase insect numbers in dry seasons. D．To protect endangered insect-eating birds.
35．What is the best title for the passage
A．Forest Birds: The Victims of Habitat Destruction
B．Irrigation Test: A Crucial Lifeline for Forest Birds
C．Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds
D．Insect Decline: The Underlying Cause of Bird Loss

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Aesthetic (审美的) Education and the Flourishing Self
In an age focused on test scores and career success, aesthetic education is often pushed to the margins (边缘) . 36 . Learning to see, appreciate, and create beauty is central to becoming a whole, healthy person.
Aesthetic education trains our senses and sharpens our perception. It teaches us to notice color, light, pattern, and harmony in nature, art, and daily life. 37 . It improves our ability to observe, analyze, and understand the world around us.
38 . Studies show that looking at art or spending time in beautiful natural settings lowers anxiety and improves mood. In a fast-paced, stressful society, aesthetic experience offers a much-needed pause. It helps us find peace and balance amid chaos.
Beyond mental health, beauty shapes-our moral character. When we experience beauty — whether in a sunset, a symphony, or a poem — we often feel awe, gratitude, or wonder. These “self-transcendent” emotions lift us beyond selfish concerns. 39 .
Aesthetic education also promotes creativity and originality. 40 . It teaches us to think freely, take risks, and express our unique voices. These qualities are essential not just for artists, but for all kinds of problem-solving and innovation.
In short, to neglect aesthetic education is to neglect a part of what makes us human. Beauty develops our minds, heals our emotions, and shapes our souls. A life without beauty is a life only half-lived.
A．Yet beauty is not just decoration
B．Still, beauty is often seen as non-essential
C．Beauty also calms our minds and reduces stress
D．They encourage kindness, generosity, and care for others
E．Besides improving mental health, beauty enriches our emotions
F．This kind of careful seeing is not passive — it is an active mental skill
G．Unlike subjects with fixed answers, art invites exploration and experimentation

For the Sydney couple they weren’t forced to 45 — there was no urgent health crisis or emergency. But instead of 46 for one, they made the choice to downsize into 47 living before circumstances took the decision away from them.
“We knew we didn’t need the large 48 we had in our old house. We just 49 it was time to move.The house we were in 50 all our needs at the time, but we are not having big 51 or anything anymore so that’s mainly why we were 52 ,” says Dudley.
Research shows most downsizers want to stay in their 53 area and for Anne and Dudley the decision to move into“The Grove by Elysium” run by St Basil’s NSW/ACT was an 54 one. They could see their 55 apartment from the back balcony of their existing house.

Mozi (about 470-391 BCE), whose real name was Mo Di, was an excellent thinker, educator and inventor in China’s Warring States Period, a time 56 many ideas competed fiercely to shape society.
Mozi’s biggest 57 (contribute) was starting Mohism, a school of thought that stood alongside Confucianism 58 a major force in ancient Chinese philosophy. His main ideas included “universal love” — meaning loving everyone 59 (equal) — “non-aggression” which meant being against wars, and “frugality” that advocated living a simple life. Unlike Confucianism, which stressed love 60 (base) on social ranks, Mohism called for fair care for all people, as he believed this was the only way 61 (end) social conflicts.
As an inventor, he created advanced defensive tools and weapons that were used to protect small states from 62 (attack) by powerful ones, and his crafting skills were even as good as 63 of Lu Ban, a famous ancient Chinese craftsman.
In history, Mozi’s ideas had a deep influence on ancient Chinese philosophy. Though Mohism became less popular after the Han Dynasty, its focus on equality and peace still 64 (matter) today, making him a key person in shaping China’s intellectual heritage 65 reminding people to respect each other and live in harmony.

Mrs. Henderson’s neat rose garden was the pride of the neighborhood, and she took great care to maintain it. Next door, Mr. Patel and his family moved in six months ago, bringing with them a love for gardening that Mrs. Henderson initially appreciated.
One day, Mrs. Henderson noticed Mr. Patel’s young son, Aryan, playing near the fence that separated their properties. She watched as the little kid reached through the fence and picked a few rosebuds (玫瑰花蕾) from her roses. Mrs. Henderson’s heart sank. These roses were special —they had been planted by her late husband.
Without thinking, she opened the window and shouted, “Put that back, young man! Those are my roses!”
Aryan was frightened, dropping the rosebuds and bursting into tears. Mrs. Henderson felt a bit of guilt but remained firm. “Go tell your father to keep his son out of my garden!”
Mr. Patel heard the noise and came over. He turned to Mrs. Henderson. “What’s the matter, Mrs. Henderson ”
“He took my roses!” Mrs. Henderson pointed to the rosebuds. “You need to teach your child some respect.”
Mr. Patel’s expression hardened. “I’ll handle my son, but a child’s curiosity is natural.”
Mrs. Henderson crossed her arms. “Natural or not, it’s my property. If you can’t control your child, maybe you shouldn’t have moved here.”
The words hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Mr. Patel’s face turned red with anger. “You're being unreasonable. I’ll make sure Aryan stays away, but I won’t tolerate your cruelty.”
With that, he walked away, Aryan still weeping in his arms. Mrs. Henderson closed the window, feeling a mix of regret and firmness. She knew she had overreacted, but the thought of her roses being damaged was too much to bear.

1.续写的词数应为150个左右；

【原文】M: Good evening, and welcome to News Night. I’m David Chen. Tonight, we have a special guest with us. Dr. Sarah Williams is an environmental scientist at City University.
W: Thank you for having me, David. It’s a pleasure to be here.
M: Dr. Williams, let’s start with the highly-debated topic. Our city has seen record-high temperatures this summer. Is this related to climate change
W: Absolutely. What we’re experiencing is not just a hot summer — it’s part of a long-term pattern. The data shows average temperatures have risen by two degrees over the past fifty years.
M: That’s alarming. What does this mean for ordinary people living in the city
W: Well, there are several impacts. First, health risks increase during heat waves, especially for elderly people. Second, we’re using more energy for air conditioning, which puts pressure on the power.
M: Those are serious concerns. Are there any solutions that individuals can adopt
W: Yes, definitely. Planting trees around your home provides natural cooling. Use public transportation more. And choosing energy-efficient appliances helps lower electricity demand.
M: What about larger changes
W: Cities need more green spaces, not just parks. We also need better public transportation. And buildings should have better designs.
M: Dr. Williams, thank you for sharing.

【原文】
W: Hello everyone. I’m Deborah Apau, and I’ve been serving as a reading volunteer for children at the San Jose Public Library for several months. I’m here today to share my experience with you.
When I first started, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I quickly discovered that being a reading volunteer is about more than just listening to kids read. I help children practice their reading skills in a relaxing environment. What I love most is watching them gain confidence. Shy children gradually become excited about books and stop worrying about getting every word perfect.
The library staff have been incredibly supportive. They make me feel valued and appreciated.
This experience has also connected me to my own childhood. When I was young, my mother would take my brother and me to the library after school. Those visits built my love for books. Now, as a volunteer, I feel like I’m giving back to a place that gave me so much.
If you’re considering volunteering, I highly recommend it. Thank you.

Nici Mense, the New York Jets’ first full-time dietitian, faces the demanding task of managing the daily nutritional needs of professional athletes. Recently, she has successfully completed her seventh season with the team.
Properly fueling players so that they feel the difference in their performance is something she learned while playing soccer at university. “I found soccer to be more demanding on my body than I had expected, and I needed to maintain my energy through proper nutrition to match my performance on the field,” she said. “This realization changed my perspective. I’ve always loved sports and food, so combining the two made the most sense.”
Mense joined the New York Jets and has stayed in tune with the team’s schedule. “My hours vary from time to time,” she said. “It’s the busiest during training camp through the end of the season. We will work seven days a week unless it’s our bye week, when we don’t play a game during the season. We ensure players fuel properly before, during and after practice. They receive recovery shakes, snacks and fruit for post-practice recovery. While they are in training throughout the day, that’s my time to plan for the weeks ahead.”
Mense describes herself as “obsessed” with her field, constantly evolving and gaining knowledge. “If I am the same dietitian three years from now, then I am doing something wrong,” she declared. “The more open-minded I am, and the more I am able to learn as a professional, the better I can help athletes with their goals.”
Occasionally, athletes need a warm-up period when working with a dietitian. “It can be quite challenging to prove that dietitians are here to help them and that we are not the food police,” said Mense. “There are times when a player doesn’t listen to the education and injures themselves. But it’s always so awesome to see when it works for them.” Nevertheless, Mense feels fulfilled in her role and continues to push the athletes, knowing that nutrition is key to fueling performance, recovery and long-term health.
By staying at the forefront of her field, Mense provides athletes with essential nutrition strategies to support their performance, recovery, and long-term health. With her dedication and expertise, it’s clear that professional athletes are truly eating their way to victory.

B．Her ambition to make life changes.
C．Her admiration for athletes’ spirits.
D．Her dream of being a professional athlete.
25．What can we learn about Mense
A．She takes a break when players are in training.
B．She keeps her professional knowledge updated.
C．Her priority is to provide post-game recovery meals.
D．She works seven days a week during the season period.
26．Why does Mense sometimes find it hard to work with the athletes
A．They put their own interests first. B．They complain about their diet.
C．They disagree about the schedule. D．They doubt her role in the team.
27．Which words can best describe Mense
A．Determined and generous. B．Humble and innovative.
C．Talkative and open-minded. D．Enthusiastic and committed.

Flashy, high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment — but are falling far short of expectations. Now a growing number of scientists are trying a much simpler approach: collecting truckloads of logs, branches and sawdust and burying them.
The concept of wood burial is straightforward: instead of constructing massive machines to collect atmospheric carbon dioxide and put it miles down into the Earth, people simply shift materials from Earth’s fast-paced biological carbon cycle into the much-slower geological (地质的) carbon cycle.
“Every year, plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil (化石) fuel release. But almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die,” says Ning Zeng, a University of Maryland climate scientist, who has been a leader in a related field for two decades and was not involved in the new research.
However, if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt — where bacteria no longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood — none or very little of it is released. If even a small number of woody pieces that decompose aboveground each year were treated this way, it would be easier to achieve the 10 billion tons per year of carbon that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agrees must be achieved by 2050 in order to keep the planet’s temperature rise to less than 2℃.
Trees in logging-focused forests take up roughly 170 billion tons of carbon every year, 14 billion tons of which finds its way into wood. The researchers say that all of this wood eventually ends up being wasted in one form or another. If all this wood could be collected and buried instead of burned or allowed to decompose, those 14 billion tons of carbon would be safely removed every year. And according to the research team’s models, that would remove a grand total of at least 770 billion tons from the atmosphere by 2100, turning the global temperature down by at least 0.352℃.
28．What are the high-tech proposals like in the first paragraph
A．Complicated but promising. B．Less effective than expected.
C．More advanced than imagined. D．Cost-saving and widely applied.
29．What do Ning Zeng’s words show
A．Burying wood is a way to handle the carbon problem.
B．The plant life cycle is a major contributor to carbon release.
C．Fossil fuel release is a source of carbon absorption by plants.
D．Carbon absorbed by plants is permanently stored in their bodies.
30．How does wood burial prevent carbon from being released
A．By speeding up the biological carbon cycle.
B．By providing enough oxygen for bacteria to work.
C．By constructing massive machines to process wood.
D．By creating an oxygen-lacking environment underground.
31．What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to
A．The decomposition of wood aboveground.
B．The process of collecting and burning wood.
C．The research teams model about carbon reduction.
D．The action of collecting and burying all wasted wood.
【答案】28．B 29．B 30．D 31．D
【导语】本文介绍科学家采用木材掩埋的简易固碳方式；阐释该原理是将碳从快速生物循环转入缓慢地质循环，隔绝氧气抑制木材分解以锁住二氧化碳，同时测算出大规模掩埋废弃木材能大幅降低大气碳含量、减缓全球升温。
【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Flashy, high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment — but are falling far short of expectations.(那些宣称能在污染物进入大气层前将其清除的炫酷高科技方案，虽吸引了关注与投资，实际效果却远不及预期。)”可知，第一段中的高科技方案实际效果达不到预期。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段“Every year, plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil fuel release. But almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die.(每年植物吸收的碳量是化石燃料排放量的六倍。但随着树叶凋零、树木枯死，这些碳几乎又全部重回大气之中。)”可知，曾宁的话语说明了植物的自然循环是碳释放的一个主要因素。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt — where bacteria no longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood — none or very little of it is released.(然而，如果二氧化碳埋在几码深的泥土下——细菌不再有分解木材所需的氧气——那么它就不会或几乎不会被释放出来。)”可知，木材通过创造一个地下缺氧环境来阻止碳释放。
31．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If all this wood could be collected and buried instead of burned or allowed to decompose, those 14 billion tons of carbon would be safely removed every year.(如果将这些木材全部收集掩埋，而非焚烧或任其腐烂，每年就能稳定封存140亿吨碳。)”可知，“that”指代的是“收集并掩埋所有废弃木材”这一行动。

The soft song of the wren (鹪鹩) once commonly marked sunrise in the central Amazon jungle. But recently, it was a rare wonder when the song cut through the morning darkness. This has received little public attention, yet it is ringing alarm bells among bird scientists. According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.
By comparing long-term bird monitoring data over recent decades, researchers have found birds are disappearing from surprising places — expanses of forest untouched by fires, logging or human clearing. These aren’t migratory species in decline because of habitat loss on distant continents; many spend their entire lives in a single area of trees. Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent.
Given that insect populations are highly sensitive to temperature and rainfall changes, scientists suspect climate change might be the underlying cause of the birds’ decline. To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon. They set up irrigation systems in undisturbed forest plots, supplementing dry-season rainfall to reproduce the wetter conditions of the 1980s. Early results are promising: compared with birds in unwatered areas, those in watered areas have higher fat levels, fewer stress signals and more active reproductive behavior.
Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests. Higher dry-season temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns damage the food chain by reducing insect numbers.
Although the research might help explain why birds are disappearing, it may not point to any solutions. “The best that we can do is really try to slow down climate change as much as possible,” says Corey Tarwater, a University of Wyoming ecologist.
32．What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1
A．Damage to forest bird habitats. B．Secrets of biodiversity reserves.
C．Decline of forest bird populations. D．Threats to endangered bird species.
33．What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．Forest birds hardly rely on insects for food. B．Food shortage accounts for the loss of birds.
C．Migratory birds are facing greater challenges. D．Human activities are to blame for bird decline.
34．Why did researchers conduct the Amazon experiment
A．To figure out effects of climate on birds. B．To restore damaged rainforest ecosystems.
C．To increase insect numbers in dry seasons. D．To protect endangered insect-eating birds.
35．What is the best title for the passage
A．Forest Birds: The Victims of Habitat Destruction
B．Irrigation Test: A Crucial Lifeline for Forest Birds
C．Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds
D．Insect Decline: The Underlying Cause of Bird Loss
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．A 35．C
【导语】主要讲述亚马逊等雨林鸟类数量莫名减少，研究探究其原因，证实气候变化是未受干扰雨林鸟类减少的潜在威胁。
【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.(根据他们的研究，从巴西亚马逊雨林到厄瓜多尔和巴拿马的保护区，许多鸟类物种正变得越来越稀少。)”可知，第一段呈现了森林鸟类种群数量下降的现象。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent. (进一步研究表明，所有被研究的鸟类物种如今的体重都低于20世纪80年代，这说明它们的食物摄入不足。受影响最严重的是以昆虫为食的鸟类，包括琴鹪鹩和黑尾拾叶雀，其中部分种类的数量减少了接近80%。)”可知，食物短缺是鸟类数量减少的原因。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon.(为探究气候模式与鸟类生存之间的确切联系，研究人员在亚马逊开展了一项实验。)”可知，研究者做实验是为了弄清气候对鸟类的影响。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests.(结合长期观测与实验证据，科学家得出结论：气候变化是未受干扰雨林鸟类数量莫名减少的主要原因。)”以及文章先介绍雨林鸟类数量锐减现象、分析食物短缺现状、开展气候关联实验并最终锁定气候变化为主因可知，文章核心围绕气候变化对森林鸟类构成隐性威胁展开，文章围绕气候变化暗中威胁森林鸟类生存展开论述，所以“Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds(气候变化：森林鸟类的隐性威胁)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Aesthetic (审美的) Education and the Flourishing Self
In an age focused on test scores and career success, aesthetic education is often pushed to the margins (边缘) . 36 . Learning to see, appreciate, and create beauty is central to becoming a whole, healthy person.
Aesthetic education trains our senses and sharpens our perception. It teaches us to notice color, light, pattern, and harmony in nature, art, and daily life. 37 . It improves our ability to observe, analyze, and understand the world around us.
38 . Studies show that looking at art or spending time in beautiful natural settings lowers anxiety and improves mood. In a fast-paced, stressful society, aesthetic experience offers a much-needed pause. It helps us find peace and balance amid chaos.
Beyond mental health, beauty shapes-our moral character. When we experience beauty — whether in a sunset, a symphony, or a poem — we often feel awe, gratitude, or wonder. These “self-transcendent” emotions lift us beyond selfish concerns. 39 .
Aesthetic education also promotes creativity and originality. 40 . It teaches us to think freely, take risks, and express our unique voices. These qualities are essential not just for artists, but for all kinds of problem-solving and innovation.
In short, to neglect aesthetic education is to neglect a part of what makes us human. Beauty develops our minds, heals our emotions, and shapes our souls. A life without beauty is a life only half-lived.
A．Yet beauty is not just decoration
B．Still, beauty is often seen as non-essential
C．Beauty also calms our minds and reduces stress
D．They encourage kindness, generosity, and care for others
E．Besides improving mental health, beauty enriches our emotions
F．This kind of careful seeing is not passive — it is an active mental skill
G．Unlike subjects with fixed answers, art invites exploration and experimentation
【答案】36．A 37．F 38．C 39．D 40．G

“We had thousands of books collected over the years. 41 some was hard. Choosing what to take was the biggest 42 ,” says Anne.
With a(n) 43 population, the“downsizing challenge” is one facing thousands of older Australians at the moment — a difficult decision that involves saying goodbye to a family home that contains 44 in every room.
For the Sydney couple they weren’t forced to 45 — there was no urgent health crisis or emergency. But instead of 46 for one, they made the choice to downsize into 47 living before circumstances took the decision away from them.
“We knew we didn’t need the large 48 we had in our old house. We just 49 it was time to move.The house we were in 50 all our needs at the time, but we are not having big 51 or anything anymore so that’s mainly why we were 52 ,” says Dudley.
Research shows most downsizers want to stay in their 53 area and for Anne and Dudley the decision to move into“The Grove by Elysium” run by St Basil’s NSW/ACT was an 54 one. They could see their 55 apartment from the back balcony of their existing house.

【导语】文章主要讲述了澳大利亚一对老年夫妇Anne和Dudley在人口老龄化背景下，主动选择缩小居住规模、搬入养老社区的经历。
【详解】41．考查动词短语。句意：处理掉一些书很难。A. Keeping track of跟踪；B. Getting rid of处理掉；C. Making use of利用；D. Taking notice of注意到。根据上文“We had thousands of books collected over the years.”可知，他们多年来收集了数千本书，现在要缩小规模必然要舍弃一部分，因此处理掉一些书很难。
42．考查名词。句意：Anne说：“选择带走什么是最大的决定。”A. decision决定；B. dream梦想；C. change改变；D. fear恐惧。根据上文“________ some was hard.”可知，处理掉藏书已经很难，而从中选择带走什么更是难上加难，因此是最大的挑战。
43．考查形容词。句意：随着人口老龄化，“缩小规模挑战”是目前成千上万澳大利亚老年人面临的一个问题——这是一个艰难的决定，涉及告别一个每个房间都充满回忆的家庭住宅。A. increasing增加的；B. recovering恢复的；C. ageing老龄化的；D. working工作的。根据下文“older Australians”以及“downsizing challenge”可知，面临缩小规模挑战的是老年人，由此可推断是人口老龄化带来的问题。
44．考查名词。句意：随着人口老龄化，“缩小规模挑战”是目前成千上万澳大利亚老年人面临的一个问题——这是一个艰难的决定，涉及告别一个每个房间都充满回忆的家庭住宅。A. books书籍；B. glories荣耀；C. sufferings苦难；D. memories回忆。根据上文“saying goodbye to a family home”以及常识可知，家庭住宅是长期生活的地方，每个房间都承载着回忆，因此告别才显得艰难。

Mozi’s biggest 57 (contribute) was starting Mohism, a school of thought that stood alongside Confucianism 58 a major force in ancient Chinese philosophy. His main ideas included “universal love” — meaning loving everyone 59 (equal) — “non-aggression” which meant being against wars, and “frugality” that advocated living a simple life.

As an inventor, he created advanced defensive tools and weapons that were used to protect small states from 62 (attack) by powerful ones, and his crafting skills were even as good as 63 of Lu Ban, a famous ancient Chinese craftsman.

【导语】文章介绍墨子的思想、发明及其深远历史影响。
56．考查定语从句。句意：墨子（约公元前470—公元前391年），本名墨翟，是中国战国时期杰出的思想家、教育家和发明家，那是一个百家思想激烈角逐、塑造社会的时代。空处引导定语从句，先行词是a time，在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when。
57．考查名词。句意：墨子最大的贡献是创立了墨家学派，这一思想流派与儒家并列为中国古代哲学的重要力量。“Mozi’s biggest”后接名词，作主语，contribute的名词形式是contribution，表示“贡献”，根据was可知，用单数形式。
58．考查介词。句意：墨子最大的贡献是创立了墨家学派，这一思想流派与儒家并列为中国古代哲学的重要力量。根据句意，此处表示“作为”一个主要力量，应用介词as。
59．考查副词。句意：他的主要思想包括“兼爱”——意为平等地爱每一个人——“非攻”意为反对战争，以及倡导简朴生活的“节用”。空处修饰动词loving，应用副词equally作状语，表示“平等地”。
60．考查非谓语动词。句意：与强调基于社会等级的爱的儒家不同，墨家呼吁公平地关爱所有人，因为他认为这是结束社会冲突的唯一途径。动词base与love之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词based作后置定语。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：与强调基于社会等级的爱的儒家不同，墨家呼吁公平地关爱所有人，因为他认为这是结束社会冲突的唯一途径。way后常接不定式作定语，the way to do sth表示“做某事的方法”。
62．考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名发明家，他创造了先进的防御工具和武器，用于保护小国免受大国的攻击，他的制作技艺甚至与中国古代著名工匠鲁班的一样好。介词from后应用动名词作宾语，“protect...from doing sth.”表示“保护……免受……”，且small states与attack之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用动名词的被动式being attacked。
63．考查代词。句意：作为一名发明家，他创造了先进的防御工具和武器，用于保护小国免受大国的攻击，他的制作技艺甚至与中国古代著名工匠鲁班的一样好。此处为同类异物特指，上文crafting skills为复数，此处应用those，相当于the crafting skills。
64．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：尽管墨家在汉朝以后不再那么流行，但它对平等与和平的关注在今天仍然很重要，这使他成为塑造中国知识遗产和提醒人们相互尊重、和谐共处的关键人物。根据时间状语today可知应用一般现在时，主语its focus是单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式matters。
65．考查连词。句意：尽管墨家在汉朝以后不再那么流行，但它对平等与和平的关注在今天仍然很重要，这使他成为塑造中国知识遗产和提醒人们相互尊重、和谐共处的关键人物。空处连接making him a key person in shaping China’s intellectual heritage和reminding people to respect each other and live in harmony两个动名词短语作宾语，表示并列关系，应用连词and。

Exercise Starts from You and Me
Last Sunday, I took part in the activity “Exercise Starts from You and Me” organized by the Students’ Union.
The activity began with a morning run around the campus, followed by group games like rope skipping and relay races. Everyone joined actively, laughing and cheering together. We even got small prizes for our teamwork, which made the whole experience even more fun and memorable.

第二节（满分25分）
67．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。
Mrs. Henderson’s neat rose garden was the pride of the neighborhood, and she took great care to maintain it. Next door, Mr. Patel and his family moved in six months ago, bringing with them a love for gardening that Mrs. Henderson initially appreciated.
One day, Mrs. Henderson noticed Mr. Patel’s young son, Aryan, playing near the fence that separated their properties. She watched as the little kid reached through the fence and picked a few rosebuds (玫瑰花蕾) from her roses. Mrs. Henderson’s heart sank. These roses were special —they had been planted by her late husband.
Without thinking, she opened the window and shouted, “Put that back, young man! Those are my roses!”
Aryan was frightened, dropping the rosebuds and bursting into tears. Mrs. Henderson felt a bit of guilt but remained firm. “Go tell your father to keep his son out of my garden!”
Mr. Patel heard the noise and came over. He turned to Mrs. Henderson. “What’s the matter, Mrs. Henderson ”
“He took my roses!” Mrs. Henderson pointed to the rosebuds. “You need to teach your child some respect.”
Mr. Patel’s expression hardened. “I’ll handle my son, but a child’s curiosity is natural.”
Mrs. Henderson crossed her arms. “Natural or not, it’s my property. If you can’t control your child, maybe you shouldn’t have moved here.”
The words hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Mr. Patel’s face turned red with anger. “You're being unreasonable. I’ll make sure Aryan stays away, but I won’t tolerate your cruelty.”
With that, he walked away, Aryan still weeping in his arms. Mrs. Henderson closed the window, feeling a mix of regret and firmness. She knew she had overreacted, but the thought of her roses being damaged was too much to bear.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, Mrs. Henderson woke to find a small package on her doorstep. Inside was a beautifully crafted wooden plate, marked with the words “Sorry for the trouble” and some fresh rosebuds. A note attached read: “Mrs. Henderson, I hope this makes up for yesterday. Aryan and I want to be good neighbors. — Mr. Patel.” Mrs. Henderson’s heart softened. She had been so focused on her roses that she had forgotten the bigger picture — community and understanding. That afternoon, she went next door with a plate of freshly baked cookies.
Mr. Patel opened the door, where stood Mrs. Henderson. Mrs. Henderson smiled. “I brought this as a peace offering. I apologize for yesterday. I shouldn’t have spoken like that.” Mr. Patel responded, “Thank you. I appreciate it.” They decided to find a way to share the garden without any misunderstandings. Mrs. Henderson would plant roses along the fence, while Mr. Patel could plant as he wished on his side. Mrs. Henderson realized fences were meant to separate, but gardens and neighbors were meant to bring people together. The roses were a bridge, not a barrier.
