This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road.
On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded.
Until suddenly, time stood still.
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind.
Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation.
4. How did the author cross the bridge
A．By taking mindful steps.
B．By rushing across it bravely.
C．By using her sense of direction.
D．By having the guide drag her over.
5. Why did the bears leave
A．They were attracted by the natural setting.
B．They were afraid of the noise of the rapids.
C．They were surprised at the group’s actions.
D．They were threatened by the guide’s rocks.
6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf
A．To pick up some souvenirs.
B．To reflect on the journey.
C．To symbolize their teamwork.
D．To check their observation skills.
7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean
A．Past the peak of youth.
B．Too high to go down.
C．Out of place in society.
D．Beyond physical limits.
C
The sharp fin. The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest-looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complex, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.
One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. When sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey, seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.
Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles. Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, they will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present, though, the turtles are scared away, which controls their appetite for seagrass and promotes its growth.
Though sharks are thought to be very scary by the majority of people, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do. Both of these ideas are putting pressure on the number of sharks in the ocean.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To show the frightening looks of sharks on TV.
B．To introduce the main topic of the whole passage.
C．To explain why sharks are feared by many people.
D．To praise sharks for their special body features.
9. What does the author want to show by mentioning lightning in paragraph 2
A．Sharks don’t often hunt humans.
B．Sharks swim fast.
C．Shark bites are deadly.
D．Sharks make mistakes.
10. Why are sharks important to the ocean
A．They scare humans away.
B．They control its food chain.
C．They maintain the ecological stability.
D．They reduce the number of sea animals.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．SOS: Save Our Sharks!
B．Sharks: King of the Ocean
C．Shark Fins: An Ecological Crisis
D．Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood
D
“You know when you walk past a parked car on a hot day and feel the heat it gives off ” says Márcia Matias at the University of Lisbon in Portugal. “That’s real! It’s not your imagination.”
Dark-coloured cars can make a measurable difference on nearby air temperature, as they absorb (吸收) and emit (排放) more heat than lighter vehicles when sitting on the street or in a parking lot. The collective impact from hundreds of thousands or millions of cars in cities could significantly influence urban heat island effects, and even increase heat stress for passers-by during sunny days.
Matias and her colleagues measured the air temperature around two cars — one black and one white — parked outside for more than 5 hours during daylight. Their measurements showed the black car raised the surrounding air temperature by as much as 3.8°C compared to the nearby asphalt (沥青) under a clear and sunny summer sky with temperatures of 36°C. Meanwhile, the white car had much smaller impacts on the surrounding air temperature.
The reason for such temperature differences is white vehicle paint reflects between 75 and 85 percent of incoming sunlight, while black paint absorbs most incoming sunlight, reflecting just 5 to 10 percent. A car’s thin dark skin can heat up quickly under strong sunlight, unlike even very dark asphalt that is thicker and warms more slowly. “Now picture thousands of cars parked across a city, each one acting like a little heat source,” says Matias. “Their colour can actually shift how hot the streets feel.”
The researchers calculated repainting parked cars from dark to lighter colours could create cooler surfaces and lower near-surface air temperatures on sunny, low wind days. Using the city of Lisbon as an example, the change could effectively raise street-level reflectance (反射率) of incoming sunlight from just 20 percent to nearly 40 percent in areas where parked cars cover more than 10 percent of the road.
“Making use of light-coloured vehicles to relieve urban heat is particularly novel”, says Sarah Berk at the University of North Carolina. Previous studies have focused on improving roofs and pavement to reflect more sunlight.
12. Why do dark cars impact nearby air temperature more greatly
A．Because they are in larger numbers.
B．Because more heat is trapped by them.
C．Because more sunlight is reflected by them.
D．Because they have been parked for longer time.
13. How did Matias conduct the research
A．By analyzing the previous data.
B．By changing the incoming sunlight.
C．By tracking the change in temperature.
D．By comparing the thickness of car paint.
14. Which statement will the researchers probably agree with
A．Dark asphalt heats up faster than dark cars.
B．Lighter paint on cars can cool down the streets.
C．Vehicle color has little impact on urban temperatures.
D．The reflectance of sunlight is mainly controlled by building materials.
15. What’s Sarah Berk’s attitude towards Matias’s research
A．Positive.
B．Critical.
C．Worried.
D．Uninterested.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often blindly used to express freedom and relief. 16_______ Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference.
The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up. 17_______ J. K. Rowling, for instance, faced widespread doubt when proposing Harry Potter, but she kept polishing her novel without worrying about criticism. It was her persistence in crafting a magical world that eventually brought her success. As you can see in Rowling’s example, ignoring external doubts can actually help us stay focused on our own goals.
18_______ This happens when someone acts out of stubbornness (固执) or a desire to shift blame, or acts selfishly, focusing solely on their own desires while ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. In the case of recent social media algorithm scandals (算法丑闻), tech giants repeatedly ignored internal researchers’ warnings about mental health harms to teenagers, claiming “not their department” Finally, it has caused uncontrollable rising anxiety and self-harm rates among young users. 19_______
Therefore, it’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges 20_______ There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. By carefully choosing when to adopt the “I don’t care” attitude, we can lead more fulfilling lives.
A．The key is balance.
B．Motivation comes first.
C．Great achievements tend to come from ignoring doubters.
D．When no one takes responsibility, it is everyone’s disaster.
E．This mindset, however, can also have negative consequences.
F．Others, however, are always concerned about everyone’s feelings.
G．While this attitude can be liberating, it also comes with potential risks.

“Are you sure this is going to be alright ” Sharon’s dad asked her after helping her carry the crib (婴儿床) she had just bought at the grocery store. She lived in an old apartment building with no elevator, so moving the crib up several stairs was too much for a young woman, especially with a two-week-old baby in her arms.
“Yes, Dad. It’ll be fine. It’s strong, and I can paint it to look new, as soon as I get my next paycheck,” she assured her father and thanked him for his efforts after putting the baby to sleep.
“You should consider moving in with us again, dear. You wouldn’t have to pay so much rent, then,” her dad said again. He had been suggesting that since Sharon lost her husband due to an unexpected accident. Sharon’s entire family was poor, and she lived paycheck to paycheck, working as a waitress. They could pool their resources and be a little more comfortable if they lived together, but she needed her independence. At least, that’s what she thought.
Sharon shook her head, “I can’t, Dad. I need to do this on my own... But I reserve the need to take you up on that offer if anything happens later.” Her dad laughed, kissed her cheek, and then left.
The crib was an old-style one which came with its own cushion. Sharon planned to clean it to see if it was reusable. She then lifted the pillow and threw it to the side. When the dust cleared, she spotted an envelope sitting there. She grabbed the envelope, and to her shock, it was heavier than she expected. She noticed it was addressed to a woman in Florida, but the return address was just near her home.
Opening the envelope, her eyes widened at the cash inside. It was enough to change someone’s life. She couldn’t believe someone had just left it with the crib. This was enough to start a college fund for her child. But was she going to keep it Could she really do something like that
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。
Sharon turned the envelope and stared at the return address again.

47. 参考范文
Sharon turned the envelope and stared at the return address again. After struggling for a while, she made up her mind to return the money. She put the envelope into her bag and set off to find the owner. On arriving at the address, she met a family whose child was seriously ill. The money was prepared for the child’s treatment. The family were extremely grateful to Sharon for returning the cash.
Walking home, Sharon called her dad. She told him the whole story. Her dad praised her for being honest and kind. At that moment, Sharon realized that independence didn’t mean refusing all help. Sometimes accepting love and support from family was also a wise choice. She finally agreed to move in with her parents, believing they would live a happier life together.
