Rural Patagonia is renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes. A Google search for “bicycle tour Patagonia” led my friend Rachel and me to set our sights on the Carretera Austral: a 770-mile stretch of mostly unpaved highway. We packed our bicycles into boxes and flew to Puerto Montt, a port city roughly 650 miles south of Santiago. Upon arrival, we continued southward for several days, eventually embarking on the Carretera Austral itself.
The journey along this route, which winds through ancient forests, windswept plains, and snow-capped peaks, took roughly two weeks by bicycle. On our final full day on the Carretera Austral — three days into a relentless rainstorm — we found ourselves at a loss for where to take shelter for the night, cold and soaked to the bone.
We were still 30 miles from Villa O’Higgins, which marked the official end of the Carretera Austral and promised a hot shower. From there, we would ride about 600 miles further along somewhat improved roads to reach Ushuaia.
There is no way we could make it to O’Higgins before nightfall. We hadn’t come across a suitable campsite in hours. We had just pulled over beside a small stream when we noticed a man dressed like a cowboy emerging from the trees. We then realized the stream led to a small house, and the man made his way toward the road. “Do you happen to know of a dry spot to set up camp ” Rachel asked.
The man invited us inside his home. We had hot chocolate and chatted in his cozy kitchen. He then pulled out an old copy of Patagon Journal, and to our astonishment, we saw a photo of our host, Erasmo Betancourt, on the cover. It turned out our new friend was a famous former activist who had been an vocal critic of the damming (筑坝) of Patagonia’s rivers. In recent decades, local farmers, fishermen, and environmental advocates have fiercely opposed the construction of hydroelectric dams on the region’s mighty waterways. Our adventure would not have been possible were it not for their passionate devotion to safeguarding this land and its ecosystems.
The next morning, we thanked our host and hit the road once more. Is there any place on Earth as remote that one can not encounter humanity
4. Why did the author and Rachel choose to cycle the Carretera Austral
A．They were invited by a local activist.
B．They were inspired by an online search.
C．They aimed to reach Santiago in two weeks.
D．They wanted to visit a famous campsite.
5. What problem did the author and Rachel face that night
A．They ran out of drinking water.
B．They lost their way in the forest.
C．They couldn’t find a suitable place to camp.
D．Their bicycles were damaged by the rain.
6. What can we learn about Erasmo Betancourt
A．He once worked in a journal in Ushuaia.
B．He was against the construction of hydroelectric dams.
C．He built a campsite for travelers near the stream.
D．He believed that they could take advantage of hydroelectric dams.
7. What is the best title for the text
A．Dams on mighty rivers ruined our adventure
B．A bicycle tour of Patagonia revealed nature to us
C．A cowboy-turned-activist saved Patagonia’s rivers
D．We encountered kindness in one of the wildest places on earth
C
A recent study published in Science reveals that Earth has been both colder and much hotter than previously believed during the Phanerozoic — the last 500 million years. During this period, global average temperatures ranged from 11°C to 36°C, well above the current average of 15°C. This challenges earlier reconstructions based on computer models, which estimated a range of 14-26 °C.
“During periods of high CO , temperatures can be warmer than previous studies suggest,” said researcher Emily Judd. “It implies that atmospheric carbon dioxide plays an even bigger role in regulating Earth’s climate than previously thought.”
Accurately determining Phanerozoic temperatures has long been difficult. The ratio of oxygen isotopes (同位素) in certain fossil (化石) shells can indicate past ocean temperatures, but they are specific to certain parts of the ocean. Climate models give a global overview, yet uncertainties about ancient conditions mean they may differ significantly from reality.
To improve accuracy, Judd and her team combined both approaches. They ran hundreds of models under various conditions and selected those that best matched the isotope data. That allowed them to calculate the average global temperature at specific times.
“It is the most complete and best-organised attempt to determine the global average temperature for the Phanerozoic,” said Appy Sluijs from Utrecht University. However, he noted that this approach relies on the assumption that the isotope data is accurate and that the models can reliably estimate temperatures in regions where data is lacking — assumptions that may not always hold true. “While these results are not the final word on the Phanerozoic, they offer a foundation for further improvements,” said Terry Ison from the University of Waikato.
Despite the discovery that Earth was hotter in the past, Judd stressed that this doesn’t lessen the urgency of addressing global warming caused by humans. The most critical issue is the speed at which CO levels and temperatures are rising. “While organisms can adapt to gradual changes, they struggle to keep up when these changes happen too quickly — humans included,” she explained.
8. What did Judd’s study find about Earth’s average temperature during the Phanerozoic
A．It had a wider range than the previous estimate.
B．It was greatly affected by human activities.
C．It stayed close to the current value.
D．It was between 14°C and 26°C.
9. How did Judd’s team improve the accuracy of their estimates
A．By developing new climate models.
B．By collecting more fossilized shell samples.
C．By analyzing climate records of various regions.
D．By integrating oxygen isotope data with climate models.
10. What is Sluijs’s attitude toward Judd’s study
A．Appreciative yet cautious about its assumptions.
B．Critical of its use of inaccurate models.
C．Doubtful about its theoretical basis.
D．Uncertain of its future impact.
11. What is Judd’s main concern about climate change
A．Earth is now at its hottest point in history.
B．Climate change is spreading to more regions.
C．The rise in the temperature is too fast for adaptation.
D．Global warming has caused mass extinctions.
D
When we hit a toe or touch something hot, we might shout “ouch” in English. But do pain interjections (感叹词) in other languages have similar sounds, and are they linked to non-linguistic vocalisations (非语言发声) that convey the same feeling A new study explores these questions for the first time, examining interjections of pain, dislike, and joy across languages.
In the study, researchers collected more than 500 interjections in 131 languages and analyzed vowels (元音) in these interjections. The tests showed that on average, the pain interjections have more “a” vowels and vowel combinations like “ai” (as in “ay!” in Spanish) and “au” (as in “ouch!” in English). This applies across all regions of the world the researchers investigated. Of the three types of emotional experiences, pain is the only one with such properties. Vowels in dislike and joy interjections, by contrast, don’t show similar vowel distributions.
They then looked at the non-linguistic sounds people make to express pain, dislike and joy. They found both interjections and non-linguistic vocalisations for pain have more “a” vowels than expected. However, dislike and joy interjections don’t share the same vowels as the vocalisations expressing those emotions.
The results shed light on big questions about the origins of linguistic forms. We often think of words as arbitrary combinations of sounds — that people say “house” in English, but “casa” in Spanish is often considered purely conventional, without any specific underlying reason. However, that is not the case in some aspects of language. Pain, as a central aspect of human experience, is associated with strong physiological and emotional responses, to the point that these automatic reactions could shape the conventional words humans use to express pain.
Much remains to be understood. In this study, researchers focused on vowels. But this raises another question: what about consonants (“p”, “t”, “s”, etc.) Certain consonants may also be closely linked to specific emotional responses, just as vowels appear to be. Such investigations will provide further insights into how concrete human language is, and how it developed originally in our ancestors.
12. What can be learned from the study
A．Emotional interjections share similar vowel patterns.
B．Pain interjections across languages exhibit similarities.
C．Dislike interjections contain more “a” vowels than others.
D．Non-linguistic sounds for pain often contain vowel combinations.
13. What does the underlined word “arbitrary” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Simple.
B．Effective.
C．Diverse.
D．Random.
14. What may the follow-up study focus on
A．The vowel patterns in various languages.
B．The conventional words humans often use.
C．The role of consonants in linguistic forms.
D．The cultural factors in language development.
15. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text
A．①②-③④⑤
B．①②-③-④⑤
C．①-②-③④-⑤
D．①-②③-④-⑤
二、七选五
Craftsmanship in Fashion
Fast fashion makes it easy for consumers to purchase new clothing frequently and at low cost. But many people now want something better: clothes that last, made with intention and carry certain meaning. ____16____
One visible sign of this shift is the growing interest in repairing clothes. From patching worn spots or adding personal embroidery, people are not hiding the damage but are doing it for fun, and showing the story. ____17____ People no longer just want to wear clothes — they want to become part of them.
Techniques and styles once seen as outdated are now increasingly valued for their history and uniqueness. ____18____ Instead of the uniformity promoted by fast fashion, many consumers are turning to garments that carry culture, family stories, and time-honored skills. You can see them in handmade jackets or detailed weaving.
____19____ Fast fashion generates enormous waste and environmental harm, while handcrafted pieces often use natural and recycled materials. Many are made to order, avoiding excess production. Choosing handmade is gentler on the planet and better to the people making it. Big companies still push out the most clothes. ____20____ They focus on values, work with local makers, and avoid chasing trends. To avoid waste, many of them slow down production, which is gaining popularity for letting people wear something real.
In a world full of quick, single-use goods, the return of craftsmanship is not a passing trend, but a lasting value in fashion.
A．They show the appreciation for craftsmanship extends to a cultural revaluation.

I stood still and stared at the hawk. “You let me down,” I whispered. The hawk just stared back with those golden eyes, unblinking and proud. I had named him Zephyr, thinking he would be my partner. I was wrong.
It had been three months since Uncle Theo left him in my care. “Train him well, Finn,” he said, “and he’ll be yours.” Those words lit a fire in me. I was 17, a city boy sent to spend the summer at Uncle’s house deep in the mountains. I read every book on bird training and spent hours sitting by his wooden stand, letting him get used to me. Day by day, I thought we were building trust. He would hop onto my hand to take meat. He would allow my fingers to gently touch his chest feathers. I was foolish enough to believe he cared about me.
Then came the first free-flight training. I removed his leg straps and lifted my arm, waiting for him to return after flying. Instead, Zephyr shot upward like an arrow and disappeared over the treetops. No pause, no looking back. For three days, I searched the forest, calling his name until my voice grew weak. My heart broke. Uncle Theo told me it was natural — a hawk’s loyalty must be won, not given freely. I felt deeply hurt.
On the fourth day, a storm rolled in. Thunder shook the windows, and rain beat upon the roof. I sat in the dark living room, staring at Zephyr’s empty stand, lost in sadness. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front steps. I paid no attention at first. Then it came again — hurried and full of fear.
I opened the door, and there he was. Zephyr lay in a heap on the wet wooden floor, his left wing hanging at an unnatural angle, feathers wet and marked with blood. One eye was half-closed, swollen. But the other eye — that same golden eye — met mine. He didn’t look like someone who had left me. He looked like a creature asking for help.
注意：1．续写的词数应为150左右；2．按格式作答。
My anger melted in an instant. Carefully, I knelt down and wrapped him in a towel.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Weeks passed, and the day finally came when Zephyr’s wing had fully healed.

My Unforgettable Adventure
Last week, I took part in indoor rock climbing, which turned out to be my most unforgettable adventure. Standing at the foot of the high wall, I was filled with fear and wanted to give up at once. Encouraged by the coach, I fastened my safety belt and started climbing slowly. Halfway up, my arms ached terribly and my legs trembled. I almost lost my courage. However, I told myself to hold on and kept moving upwards step by step. Finally, I reached the top and shouted with joy.
This experience taught me that fear is just in our mind. As long as we stick to our goals and dare to challenge ourselves, we will make it in the end.
47. 读后续写范文
My anger melted in an instant. Carefully, I knelt down and wrapped him in a towel. I carried Zephyr inside gently and dried his wet feathers with a soft cloth. Then I cleaned his injured wing and put medicine on the wound as Uncle Theo taught me. I prepared fresh meat and clean water for him, placing his wooden stand beside my bed. Every day I fed him and checked his injury patiently. At first Zephyr kept silent and stayed away from me, but gradually he relaxed and would lean against my hand when I stroked him. All my sadness about his leaving faded away, replaced by soft care.
Weeks passed, and the day finally came when Zephyr’s wing had fully healed. I took him to the open mountain field at sunrise. I lifted my arm, waiting for him to fly away. He stared at me with those golden eyes for a long time, then circled around my head twice before soaring into the sky. I smiled without any regret. I realized true love is never possession. Instead, it means giving freedom to the one you care about and blessing its wild life.
