一、阅读理解
A
Not every outdoor or nature-based activity qualifies as ecotourism. Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism.
Wildlife Viewing
Responsible wildlife viewing offers the chance to observe animals behaving naturally and moving freely within healthy ecosystems. This may involve guided forest walks to spot birds, watching elephants walking across open plains, or observing whales from a distance.
Cultural Ecotourism
Cultural ecotourism offers insight into local traditions and lifestyles. Experiences may include learning from long-established communities, visiting important sites, or joining nature-related activities. Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community’s own terms.
Hiking and Recreation
Hiking and recreation ecotourism activities might include cycling along coastlines, or snowshoeing through valleys. These activities slow the pace of travel, making it easier to notice details like wildflowers or bird songs that are often missed. To be considered ecotourism, recreational activities must follow the Leave No Trace principles, stay on selected roads and park legally.
Citizen Science and Voluntourism
Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. These experiences give participants a clearer understanding of environmental challenges while supporting scientific research. Well-designed activities create a mutually beneficial exchange: travelers learn from local experts, and conservation programs gain extra capacity.

A．Wildlife Viewing.
B．Cultural Ecotourism.
C．Hiking and Recreation.
D．Citizen Science and Voluntourism.
2. Which activity belongs to Citizen Science and Voluntourism
A．Taking photos with wildlife.
B．Repairing natural paths.
C．Visiting tourist-only villages.
D．Setting new habitats.
3. What is the author’s purpose of writing the blog
A．To tell travel stories.
B．To explain overtourism.
C．To introduce real ecotourism.
D．To show fun outdoor activities.

Dear Mom,
It’s me, Faisal Abdullah Malik, your son from Pakistan, who crossed the border for a heart transplant. You saved my life a decade ago by making a decision that only a mother as extraordinary as you could make.
On 26 December 2014, both our lives changed forever. Karthick, your beloved son, was brought to Tirupur Government Hospital, near Coimbatore, in southern India, after a tragic road accident. He was later transferred to G. Kuppusamy Naidu Memorial (GKNM) Hospital. When the doctors declared him brain dead, you had to face the unthinkable, holding his hand, saying your silent goodbyes.
In the depths of that unimaginable grief, Mom, you made a choice that speaks of boundless courage and selflessness. You not only gave me Karthick’s heart but also donated five other organs, giving the gift of life to six strangers. You made this difficult decision without ever questioning the race, religion, or nationality. Your decision was solely about saving lives.
Today, as a father of two growing children, I can truly understand the magnitude of your sacrifice. I can only imagine the storm of emotions you must have battled. Did you question if it was the right decision Did you fear it was too much to bear And yet, in the darkest hour of your life, you chose life for others. You chose hope. I know Karthick must be so proud of you, as am I, Mom. I am alive today because of your strength.
Tearing apart the political divide, I have longed to meet you, Mom. I have travelled to Chennai several times since receiving Karthick’s heart, always hoping to somehow find a way to Coimbatore. But my medical visa restricts me from travelling outside Chennai. You might be wondering why I don’t even call you Names of donors and recipients are kept confidential, and I feel helpless.
Allah tells us in The Qur’an, “Whoever saves a life, it is as if they saved all of humanity.” Mom, you embody it. I love you, Mom, forever and always.
Yours always,
Faisal

Every December, my house turns into the island of unwanted gifts. People are kind, but there are only so many candied nut tins, caramel popcorn towers, and sugar cookies one family can consume.
Let us not forget my wedding-regift incident. We received a very expensive electric teakettle. We don’t drink tea, so we returned it to the store and got $75. Later, the store manager called, furious, accusing us of trading them a piece of junk. Someone had bought the kettle and discovered an obviously used cut-glass Easter basket inside. It turns out that person had regifted it to us. We paid the store back and were handed that ugly Easter basket.
This made me wonder: Is regifting a form of rudeness To find out, let’s explore both sides of the regifting debate.
First of all, humans have been regifting since the dawn of time. Caveman A gives Caveman B a rock; Caveman B gives it to Caveman C. We call that anthropology (人类学). Modern life demands efficiency. Why let something sit in a cabinet Why not give that brand-new item to someone who will actually use it It’s economical. It’s environmentally friendly. It’s basically the circle of life.
And yet, regifting is a high-risk sport. It requires memory and strategy. Give the gift to the wrong person, and suddenly people are texting: “Didn’t I give this to you ” Regifting can go terribly wrong if you misjudge a person’s taste, so you should not regift within the same social ecosystem, while also carefully removing all the evidence (cards, receipts, etc.). Ultimately, the key is to match the gift to the person — so never give spa products to someone who hates lotions (乳液).
My official ruling Regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet- friendly form. So go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts.
8. What does the underlined word “furious” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Confused.
B．Frustrated.
C．Annoyed.
D．Surprised.
9. Why does the author mention “Caveman” in the text
A．To trace back the long history of regifting.
B．To provide examples of human efficiency.
C．To encourage the proper action of regifting.
D．To explain the nature of ancient anthropology.
10. Which of the following might be a successful regifting
A．Sending a spa product to a colleague.
B．Returning a costly gift to a local store.
C．Sharing fresh candies with a neighbor.
D．Giving a suitable scarf to a new friend.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A．Does regifting make sense
B．Is regifting actually rude
C．What’s the power of regifting
D．Why is regifting high-risk
D
The dawn chorus of birdsong has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn.
Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more intensely than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less intense.
“The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a rebound of intense singing when lights come on.
The researchers then administered the drug luzindole, which blocks the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素), a hormone that helps regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs revealed rapid structural shifts in the first hour after dawn compared to the second. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song structure may slightly suffer, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore or improve them,” says Kojima.
While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.”
12. What does Kojima’s experiment in Paragraph 2 mainly show
A．Finches’ chorus strength relates to time staying in the dark.
B．Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes.
C．Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus.
D．Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer.
13. What does the underlined word “subdues” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Transforms.
B．Restricts.
C．Motivates.
D．Ignores.
14. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole
A．Luzindole improves birds’ vocal motor system.
B．Melatonin showed no effect on the control group.
C．Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing.
D．Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation.
15. What do Diego Gil’s words imply
A．More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption.
B．The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species.
C．All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable.
D．Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns.

47. 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。
Mia Thompson, a 22-year-old girl, stood at a significant turning point in her life. As the final bell of the school year rang, she felt both excited and worried.
“Hey, Mia! Ready for summer ” her best friend, Chloe, approached with a wide smile. “Um, sorta,” Mia replied, looking down at her feet. “I just don’t know what I should do after graduation.” Chloe said, “You’re one of the smartest people I know! What’s holding you back ” Mia took a deep breath. “It’s just…everything feels so uncertain. I want to be a professional singer, but I also feel like writing is my thing.”
As summer unfolded, Mia was often found at the village library. One evening, she was drawn to a self-help book titled Fearless: How to Embrace (拥抱) Uncertainty. The sentences struck her. “Sometimes, you have to face uncertainty directly instead of running away from it. Your future isn’t a single path; it’s an ever-changing journey.”
The next day, Chloe told Mia a summer music festival would be held in town. “You should enter! You can sing!” she suggested enthusiastically. “No way!” Mia protested, her cheeks reddening. “Give it a shot! Remember how everyone loves your voice ” Chloe urged. Then the book’s words crossed her mind — it’s not just about the thing itself; it’s about showing up and being seen. Hesitantly, she agreed, thinking maybe this could be a chance to overcome her fears.
The day of the festival arrived. After Mia’s performance, Mr. Henderson, a local music producer, approached her and said, “You have a beautiful voice, Mia. Have you ever thought about pursuing music professionally ” Shocked, she smiled slightly and explained, “I don’t know whether that’s what I really want. I’m scared, honestly.” “Fear is a part of the process,” he replied warmly, “Sometimes the path chooses you. Why not come to my studio next week, where many artists work together No pressure — just explore.”
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Spending all night thinking about it, Mia decided to go.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“What if you pursued both ” Chloe suggested.

46.书信范文
Dear Jane,
I’m Li Hua, a student at Chenguang High School. I’m writing to offer suggestions on your lecture about western art.
Among various topics, I’m most eager to learn about Impressionist paintings. For one thing, the soft color matching and vivid natural scenes of Impressionism always attract me deeply. For another, I have only seen some famous works like Monet’s Water Lilies online and long to know the background stories of these masterpieces.
I hope your lecture can share the painters’ creative experiences and the unique ideas behind their works. Besides, I wonder if you can bring some picture materials for us to appreciate closely. I believe this lecture will greatly enrich our knowledge of western art.
Thank you for your time.
Yours,
Li Hua

Spending all night thinking about it, Mia decided to go. When she stepped into the bright studio, she saw singers, songwriters and writers communicating warmly. Mr. Henderson let her try singing with professional equipment and invited her to read the short stories she wrote. He praised both her clear voice and delicate words, saying her writing could be turned into touching song lyrics. Mia felt a strong sense of satisfaction, yet confusion lingered — she still couldn’t choose only one career. She left the studio with mixed feelings and poured out all her troubles to Chloe that night.
“What if you pursued both ” Chloe suggested. Mia’s eyes lit up at once. She suddenly realized singing and writing were never conflicting. From then on, Mia devoted herself to creating original songs, writing lyrics with her true feelings and singing them on stage. She combined her two passions perfectly. Later, Mr. Henderson helped her release several self-written songs, which won wide praise. Mia finally understood that her future journey could carry all her beloved dreams at the same time.
