第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
When it comes to tackling climate change, the focus tends to be on “clean energy” solutions. But the global
food system and post-farm processes are also key contributors to emissions (排放). The chart below summarizes
food’s share of total emissions and breaks it down by source.
Reducing emissions from food production is a great challenge for the future. We need inputs such as fertilizers
to meet growing demands for food consumption, and we can’t stop cattle from producing methane. We will need a
menu of solutions: changes to diets; food waste reduction; improvements in agricultural efficiency; and new
technologies to make low-carbon food more available.
21. Which source of emissions from the food system takes up the smallest share
A. Crop production. B. Land use.
C. Supply chains. D. Livestock & Fisheries.
22. What is a major source of methane in the food system
A. Crop production using fertilizers. B. Food packaging and refrigeration.
C. Land conversion from forests to fields. D. Livestock’s natural digestive processes.
23. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To explain why fertilizers are necessary.
B. To compare different food production methods.
C. To suggest possible ways to lower food emissions.
D. To argue that methane emissions cannot be avoided.
B
When I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal occupation, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that
she dreams of becoming an online celebrity, which reminded me of a new girl band called “Sunshine”. These teens
have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and laughably bad
singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to
bloom on the criticism.
And following Sunshine’s explosion, numerous new bands like “Power Girls” and “Love-wings” starring
average-looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles. Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese
teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it
takes is a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It’s incredible to witness so many young Chinese
girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars.
This kind of grassroots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any
opportunities or privileges to be outstanding in China’s competitive society, but for those well-educated kids, there
is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting them from academics.
Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they
are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous behavior. Prospective (将来的) employers and even
potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures.
The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified
kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning
knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once
their online followers forget about them.
24. What does the underlined word “wither” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Become weak. B. Become strong. C. Become happy. D. Become excited.
25. What does the author imply about teenagers who seek fame through social media
A. They are likely to become more confident and successful.
B. They may face negative consequences in the long run.
C. They will be remembered as pioneers of the Internet age.
D. They are often distracted from their academic studies.
26. What is the author’s attitude towards the trend of young girls seeking online fame
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To introduce a new music trend in China.
B. To criticize the entertainment industry.
C. To discuss the phenomenon of seeking online fame among teens.
D. To encourage young people to become online celebrities.
C
From taking quick shots for social media with a smartphone to patiently waiting for the perfect street moment
with a film camera, photography has become part of everyday life. However, there is a common misunderstanding
that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic
note-taking rather than true art. This belief misses a core fact: these two media represent different ways of seeing
and creating.
Psychology research offers insights into this. Professor Robert Epstein from Harvard University’s Visual
Cognition Lab notes, “When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a ‘rapid capture’ mode; whereas with a
film camera, it enters a ‘deliberate composition’ state.” Functional MRI (核磁共振) studies have shown that when
using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a
film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity.
Photography educator David Yorke explains: “With a film camera, you must think through everything before
taking the picture — composition, exposure, timing. This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.”
However, it does not mean that mobile photography cannot produce true art. An experiment in a journal of visual
research found that mobile users take an average of 15 times more photos per day than film users. This frequent
practice enhances their ability to capture fleeting (转瞬即逝的) moments. Documentary photographer Marina Chen
shares this view: “Smartphones have made photography accessible to everyone. Sometimes, the energy in these
moments is more valuable than carefully arranged shots.”
A truly mature photographer understands that artistic vision requires both: the quick response to the present
and the discipline to compose with care. Mobile photography and film photography do not replace each other.
Together, they enrich our visual expression and expand our capacity to see the world with clarity and imagination.
28. What does the author think of the common misunderstanding of mobile photography
A. It overlooks the unique value of mobile photography.
B. It overestimates the artistic value of film photography.
C. It is supported by reliable evidence.
D. It is widely approved by professional photographers.
29. What can be inferred from the fMRI studies in Paragraph 2
A. Film photography improves brain health better.
B. Mobile photography needs less brain activity.
C. Different cameras activate different brain networks.
D. Professionals prefer film cameras in practice.
30. Why does Marina Chen value smartphones in photography
A. They replace professional equipment completely.
B. They help catch the energy of short, lively moments.
C. They take higher-quality pictures than film cameras.
D. They make photographers work more effectively.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Film Photography: The Art of Patience
B. Mobile Photography: The Future of Art
C. Skills Used in Different Types of Photography
D. Mobile and Film Photography: Different Ways to Create
D
Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades: labelled as cold, unfeeling
thrill-seekers who delight in others’ suffering. Film critics have described the fans and creators of films like Friday
the 13th and Saw as “very sick people”. But I argue that these assumptions are all wrong.
The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from
2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables.
For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of
torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably
won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the
link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed.
In 2024, I published a set of studies that directly addressed the question of horror fandom and empathy. The
results were striking. Using standardised assessments, horror fans scored higher on empathy and compassion.
When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that
“adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to
process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The
three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline (肾上腺素). But there is one common
trait among them.
My research has identified morbid curiosity (猎奇) as the most powerful predictor of horror fandom. It is this
tendency to seek out information about threatening or death-related phenomena that drives a fascination with horror
media. Studies show that people with higher levels of this curiosity demonstrate better preparedness for real crises
and show increased resilience during stressful life events.
The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated.
Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth
in the face of our deepest fears.
32. What is a common stereotype about horror fans mentioned in the passage
A. They are indifferent to others’ feelings. B. They seek excitement through media.
C. They prefer unresolved storylines. D. They have a strong sense of curiosity.
33. What can we infer about the 2007 analysis mentioned in paragraph 2
A. It was widely recognized by later researchers.
B. Its conclusion might be affected by flawed study designs.
C. It clearly distinguished different types of horror fans.
D. It proved a strong link between empathy and horror enjoyment.
34. What do the three types of horror fans have in common according to the author
A. A desire to overcome personal fear. B. A tendency to be adrenaline-driven.
C. A shared psychological foundation. D. A preference for violent content.
35. What does the author imply about horror as a genre
A. It reflects human psychological complexity. B. It mainly attracts emotionally unstable people.
C. It serves as an escape from daily stress. D. It should be studied from a medical perspective.

Everyone can experience loneliness from time to time, which causes concern about our health and well-being.
36 There are some possible courses of action, depending on who you are and where you live. Below are some
suggestions on how to fight loneliness.
37
Some of us are lonely because we don’t have close relationships in our lives. But if that’s not the case for you,
by all means let your friends or family know how you’re feeling and ask for support. Calling or texting can be an
active way to shift your mood and help relieve loneliness.
Adopt a pet
There are many reasons to have pets. 38 . And these are especially helpful for people who may be
isolated from other humans and feel lonely. One study finds that people who walk dogs are considered friendlier
— something that’s bound to help you connect if you’re looking to meet new people.
Try loving-kindness meditation (冥想)
Not everyone likes to engage in loving-kindness meditation. But it has been found to reduce loneliness,
perhaps because it helps you to accept negative emotions more easily. 39 . Even when they are not around,
loving-kindness meditation could help fight feelings of loneliness.
Count your blessings
40 , it’s also possible to practice gratitude on your own and feel less lonely. In one study, older adults
who were assigned a daily gratitude journaling exercise felt less lonely over time — and felt healthier, too.
A. One of them is that they can provide companionship and unconditional love
B. Be kind to the relatives around you
C. It can also help you increase a sense of connection to others
D. What can you do when you feel lonely
E. Reach out to friends or family
F. Why will you experience loneliness
G. While expressing gratitude toward others can fight loneliness directly

The Pacific Northwest’s misty woods weren’t just Rosemary’s backyard — they were her first 41 .
Now, as Response’s new Community Education Coordinator, she’s taking that “Education through 42 ”
spirit everywhere, turning lessons into stories kids will never forget.
Her favorite wilderness adventure 43 on a spring morning with a group of fourth graders. Their
mission was 44 : find three “forest friends” and write a short story about each one. At first, the kids hung
back, 45 their feet slowly as if they’d rather stay inside playing video games — 46 eight-year-old
Leo suddenly dashed toward a bush, yelling, “Look! A squirrel with an acorn bigger than his head!” Rosemary
dropped to her 47 . “Let’s give him a name,” she said. They 48 on “Mr. Nutkin,” and Leo scribbled
in his journal: “Mr. Nutkin is in a hurry. Maybe he’s hiding snacks for winter so he doesn’t get hungry.” Soon,
everyone 49 across the woods. When it was time to leave, Leo even stuffed a pinecone in his pocket,
50 it “for Mr. Nutkin’s house so he stays warm.”
Weeks later, an envelope 51 on Rosemary’s desk, with Leo’s messy handwriting on the front. Inside
was a drawing: a squirrel in a tiny pinecone house, next to a stick figure labeled “Me”, and a note: "Mr. Nutkin
moved into his new home I put it in my backyard. Can we go back to the woods soon ”
That’s the magic of Rosemary’s teaching: it doesn’t 52 when the class does. Whether she’s in a
church, a farm, or a forest, she turns lessons into 53 — ones that stick long after the pinecones are collected
and the journals are closed. Now, at Response, she still keeps that pinecone from the woods in her bag. It’s a
54 : the best education isn’t about facts on a page but about making kids feel like the world is their 55 —
and they’re the ones getting to write the fun parts.

Inside the Museum of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in South China, 56 unique
transformation is capturing the hearts of visitors. It is not just the shimmering gold or ancient bronze 57
draws crowds, but the quiet, meticulous journey of a relic traveling from “broken” to “perfect”.
By literally breaking down walls to install transparent glass windows, the museum 58 (turn) its
private restoration laboratories into a public stage, allowing cultural heritage conservation 59 (see) and
appreciated.
For restorers, the transition from the secluded “backstage” to the public was 60 (initial) daunting.
Chen Qi, a professional restorer at the center, admits to feeling nervous about the possibility of 61
(understand). “We worried people might wonder why we aren’t wearing gloves, or think we are idling when we sit
still for a long time,” Chen says. He describes restoration as a multidisciplinary blend of science and history that
ultimately relies on the “touch” of expert craftsmanship.
As visitors leave the hall, many stop to leave messages. One visitor writes: “Restorers are the ‘relic doctors’ in
white coats, 62 (guard) the roots of our civilization with 63 (them) hearts.” The courage to “break
the wall” has paid off. By revealing the silence and persistence 64 the scenes, the Guangxi museum has
allowed the public to encounter history not as a static display, 65 as a living, breathing process of rebirth.

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。
Todd leaned against the window looking out at the noisy street in the afternoon sun. Some kids ran back and
forth shouting loudly, while others rode scooters (滑板车) fast down the sidewalk, nearly bumping into passersby
— several even cut through neighbours’ front yards, destroying flowers in the neat gardens.
He signed softly and turned back inside, his eyes falling on the cover of a dog-eared book — a gift from
Grandma. A wave of warmth swept over him. He’d once been too restless to sit down. It was Grandma that had
turned his dislike of reading into passion. Those boring afternoons were turned into adventures because Grandma
always had a way to make reading feel like treasure hunts. With new-found passion, he stepped into a wonderland
through those pages. Suddenly, he was drugged back to reality from his sweet memories by the yelling from a
neighbour, “Ruined my garden again Can’t you kids read some books ”
An idea popped into Todd’s mind. Why not build a small book box right in his front yard Wasn’t this a
perfect way to change the messy community around him Without hesitation, he crafted the box from old wooden
pieces, carved a tiny shelf inside and put in his favourite children’s books, including the gift from Grandma. For the
sign on the box, he painted “Reading Comer for Kids”. He placed the box right under the big oak tree where the
kids dashed past every single day.
Yet the box sat lonely for days. Kids still rushed past, never sparing a glance. The neighborhood didn’t shift
one bit. Feeling defeated, Todd walked out to the box and picked up a book. As he opened it, a small, faded sticker
slipped out from the pages, landing on the grass. It was the shiny star he had been hunting for — one of the “secret
treasures” Grandma used to hide for him to find.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Recalling Grandma’s tricks, Todd knew what he could do. _________________________________________

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in China’s drone technology. You asked whether drones are just “flying
cameras” — actually, they are much more than that.
In China, drones are now widely used in disaster relief, city logistics, and even light shows. They can deliver
supplies to cut-off areas and transport medical samples quickly. At night, thousands of drones light up the sky with
stunning performances.
I believe drones will play an even bigger role in smart cities and emergency services in the future. If you get a
chance, you should come and see for yourself — it’s truly amazing!
Looking forward to your visit.
Best regards,
Li Hua

Recalling Grandma’s tricks, Todd knew what he could do. He hunted through his old books, hiding small
stickers, colorful paper clips and tiny toy figures as “secret treasures” between the pages, just like Grandma used to
do. He also added a note on the box: “Find the hidden treasures in books!” The next morning, he waited quietly by
the window. A boy riding a scooter slowed down, curious about the note. He stopped, opened a book and let out a
happy shout when he found a star sticker.
With more kids drawn to the magic of stories, the community changed. The noisy shouts and scooter
sounds faded, replaced by soft reading voices under the oak tree. Kids no longer ran wildly or destroyed gardens;
instead, they sat together, sharing interesting plots from the books. Neighbours smiled when they saw the quiet
reading corner, some even bringing their own old books to add to the box. Todd looked at the lively scene, holding
Grandma’s book tightly. He knew Grandma would be proud—his small idea had turned the messy neighborhood
into a warm, joyful place filled with the charm of stories.

M: Sure, but there are so many different and interesting works from all sorts of people. Do you have any
preferences

W: Of course. The more people, the better. We can ask Andy as well. He watched a lot of films at home this
weekend, but he says he wants to do something outside next weekend.
M: Great. I’ll ask him if he wants to come.

M: This is an urgent announcement from City Utilities, and we have a major power outage to report for parts of the
city. The outage is affecting parts of the downtown area and the whole west side of the city, and it was caused by a
transformer fire early this morning. The fire started because a large tree fell on the transformer during last night’s
storm, and our repair crews are already on the scene working to fix the problem. We estimate that power will be
restored by 2 o’clock in the morning, and we ask all residents in the affected areas to follow basic safety rules: use
flashlights instead of candles for light, and if you use a generator for power, make sure to use it safely outside your
home to avoid gas leaks. Please also minimize opening your refrigerators to keep your food fresh. We will provide
updates on the power restoration every hour on our emergency radio frequency, 101.9 FM. We apologize for the
inconvenience this outage has caused.
