第二部分　阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
　　People have been recycling household waste for many years.Nevertheless,some uncertainty exists regarding which items are recyclable and which are not.As technology progresses,an increasing number of items have become recyclable.
PLASTIC BOTTLES
Plastic bottles are usually made of PET (聚酯食品包装材料),which can be recycled into fibres for the manufacture of clothing,carpets,or into new plastic bottles,plastic containers,etc.For example,some sports brands use recycled plastic bottles to make sportswear,which is both environmentally friendly and fashionable.
LIGHT BULBS
Instead of discarding light bulbs in the garbage can,some local governments run recycling centres,where you can place such items.If you regularly recycle household glass,kindly remember to wash the glass and remove the lids beforehand.
PIZZA BOXES
Normally pizza boxes are not recycled because they’re covered in grease (油脂) and leftover bits of cheese.When a pizza box is too oily,it won’t be taken to a recycling processing plant.If possible,remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling.If the pizza box can’t be recycled,tear off the lid which can still be recycled.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES
Household batteries can also be recycled.Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem for the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals.Button cells,which are used in hearing aids and watches,can also be recycled.
(　　)21.According to the passage,what should people do with light bulbs
A.Take them to recycling centres run by local governments.
B.Throw them in the regular trash can.
C.Keep them at home forever.
D.Burn them in the open air for disposal.
(　　)22.What do people need to do first to recycle pizza boxes
A.Wash them many times.
B.Drop them off at the pizza shop.
C.Take them to the local government.
D.Clear the leftovers as much as possible.
(　　)23.In which section of a magazine can we read the passage
A.Health. B.Entertainment.
C.Environment. D.Culture.
B
　　Do you have that one piece of technology that has changed your life for the better The technology that helped change my life is the camera.Photography is a way of using photos to create art,making something beautiful and telling a story.The camera is used to capture moments in history.
The camera shows me a different view of the world by revealing that there is always good and bad in the world.It is important to me because it helps recall history.Besides,the camera helps express art by creating feelings of nostalgia (怀旧) and purpose through photos.If there were no photography,there would be less knowledge about history.
When I was a young girl,my family would take pictures to record the memories whether they were good or bad.In our family,valuable photos are considered a treasure passed down from one generation to the next.My strong love for photography was from my uncle who was a photographer and I loved looking at his pictures.Later,I took pictures to show a meaning through photos to follow in his footsteps.
We are on a timeline,and photos can help freeze moments on the timeline.Today people are using photos to create a timeline for their future by putting them in a photo album (相册) or posting them on social media,which can help them remember what happened in the past.
(　　)24.How did the camera influence the author
A.She developed strong interest in technology.
B.She began to express her feelings to others.
C.She learnt something about history.
D.She passed different views to others.
(　　)25.What made the author become interested in taking pictures
A.Her dream of becoming a photographer.
B.Her wish to remember good memories.
C.Her interest in creating art.
D.Her uncle’s influence.
(　　)26.Why do people post photos online according to the passage
A.To share their daily lives.
B.To record moments in life.
C.To plan for the future.
D.To make photo albums.
(　　)27.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A.How the Camera Changed My Life
B.What I Have Learnt from My Uncle
C.What Pictures Can Bring to People
D.How Photography Influences History
C
Clothing,water bottles,takeout containers,cutting boards—it’s challenging to keep up with the growing number of items that expose us to tiny plastic particles.Now some tea bags have joined the list.In a 2024 study,scientists found that brewing (冲泡) tea with a tea bag made from polypropylene (聚丙烯) released about 1.2 billion small plastic pieces per millilitre of tea.
Tea bags are made from various materials,including paper,flexible plastics and a new kind of material called biodegradable plastics.Tea bags made from paper will theoretically shed fewer microplastics when compared with plastic versions,said Hailey E.Hampson,a postdoctoral fellow who studies microplastics.But it’s not always easy to figure out what your tea bag was made from.
Of the 12 tea companies we contacted for this article,six responded.They all said that their tea bags were free of microplastics,mainly because they were made from paper or other plant-based materials.However,even paper tea bags aren’t guaranteed to be plastic-free,Dr Hampson said.Some may be sealed (密封) with flexible plastics like polypropylene,or have a plastic coating on the string.
Microplastics can enter our blood and tissues from the food we eat and the air we breathe.But figuring out if those exposures harm health has been challenging.Scientists have found potential links between microplastic exposures and health conditions like cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and cancer.But these studies have limitations,and it’s unclear if the microplastics themselves caused these health effects.
Dr Hampson said that briefly putting your tea bag in room-temperature water,then discarding that water before brewing,can help reduce the microplastics in your tea.Placing the bag under running water might help remove some plastics,too.Just be aware that this method might extract some of the flavour from your tea.What’s more,choose the right tea.Drinking loose-leaf tea is probably the best way to limit your exposure to microplastics.
(　　)28.How does the author introduce the topic
A.By giving examples.
B.By raising questions.
C.By quoting an expert.
D.By defining a concept.
(　　)29.Why can’t we guarantee paper tea bags are plastic-free
A.Because paper itself contains plastics.
B.Because their strings might be plastic-coated.
C.Because they are sealed by plant-based materials.
D.Because heat from brewing releases microplastics.
(　　)30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A.Microplastics can be found everywhere.
B.Microplastics’ harm is impossible to confirm.
C.Breathing is the main way microplastics enter the body.
D.Links between health and microplastics remain uncertain.
(　　)31.Which might be the primary choice of reducing microplastics
A.Selecting expensive tea.
B.Drinking loose-leaf tea.
C.Washing tea bags thoroughly.
D.Preserving tea at low temperatures.
D
Birds that are active during the day sing later into the night in areas with heavy light pollution,according to research by Brent Pease of Southern Illinois University Carbondale,and Neil Gilbert of Oklahoma State University.Analysing more than 180 million bird vocalisations (歌声) worldwide alongside satellite imagery,they found that under the brightest skies,birds extended daily activity by nearly an hour.Their paper,“Light pollution prolongs avian (鸟类的) activity”,was published in a scientific magazine.
The project came about in Pease’s effort to excite undergraduates about birds.He installed a microphone to broadcast local birdsong on campus.Later,he adopted BirdWeather devices,which use Wi-Fi,navigation systems,sensors and AI connected to the BirdNET database,enabling real-time detection of bird species.This opened new opportunities to study not only where birds are found but also how they behave continuously.Just as trail cameras revolutionised mammal studies decades ago,BirdWeather and BirdNET now allow large-scale behavioural studies of birds.
Using machine learning,BirdNET transforms recordings into spectrograms (声谱图) that identify avian species against a database of over 6,000.This allows analysis of continuous audio data that would otherwise take lifetimes to process.Pease and Gilbert were the first to apply and analyse the BirdWeather data in this way.They had many research options,but first they focused on responses to light pollution.Pease noted,on average birds stayed active an hour longer.Actual times varied by species.
The researchers then asked why.A key factor turned out to be photoreceptor sensitivity (光感受器敏感度).Species with proportionally larger eyes responded more strongly to artificial light than those with smaller eyes.Whether this shift benefits or harms birds remains uncertain.Extended activity may increase opportunities for feeding and mating,but reduced sleep could hurt long-term health.
Since 2021,BirdWeather has collected over 1.4 billion vocalisations from many locations worldwide.Pease called the project “citizen-science at its best”,noting that a tool built for backyard birdwatchers has become a powerful engine for wildlife research.He and Gilbert plan to continue applying the technology to explore the impacts of human forces,particularly light pollution,on global bird populations.
(　　)32.Why did Pease set up a microphone on campus initially
A.To support a global study.
B.To document local noise levels.
C.To measure effects of artificial light.
D.To inspire students’ curiosity about birds.
(　　)33.What key advance did BirdWeather and BirdNET bring
A.Identifying unknown species worldwide.
B.Processing continuous bird behaviour at scale.
C.Replacing fieldwork on birds with satellite tracking.
D.Tracking the regular movement of birds from one place to another.
(　　)34.Which feature best explains birds’ varied reactions to light
A.Relative eye size and sensitivity.
B.Developmental background.
C.Geographic range.
D.Voice strength.
(　　)35.What’s the suitable title for the passage
A.Citizen Science in Wildlife Research
B.How Artificial Light Affects Birds’ Eyes
C.Light Pollution Keeps Birds Active Longer
D.BirdWeather: A Revolutionary Tool for Bird Watching

A piece of research has revealed many benefits of being in the presence of nature.The patients with plants in their rooms reported better treatment effects.Less pain,lower blood pressure,less tiredness and less anxiety were just some of them.36.　　
Houseplant collections have become a popular trend.Tending plants has surfaced as a hobby and enables people to experience greater comfort and beauty from the presence of greenery sharing their space.37.　　
Researchers have found that plants and exposure to greenery have multiple mental health benefits,lowering stress,decreasing feelings of depression,and increasing sociality,to name a few.38.　　　 Having a plant doesn’t immediately or directly impact mental health process.
Studies have also shown that plants and gardening can increase productivity.39.　　　 It awakens people’s motivation to try to improve.They no longer live in the past or worry about the future.Greenery helps people focus on the present moment.The motivation in turn facilitates productivity and provides a feeling of achievement for them.
40.　　　 It is the same with any new skill or hobby.Anyone who is new to care for plants should be patient,leaving room for trials and errors.It’s not about how many plants you have,but rather how you interact with them.For instance,are the plants in areas where you spend a lot of time Do you care for them every day Just one plant can make a difference.It engages you by its smell and colour.Every interaction creates a positive mood response.
A.However,it’s not a cure-all.
B.Greenery may serve as a reminder.
C.Caring for plants can be an enjoyable routine.
D.They should allow themselves time to learn the basics.
E.Taking care of house plants comes with a course of learning.
F.So people can be away from negative thoughts and emotions.
G.Researchers explained that plants’interaction helped to contribute to them.

　　The morning sun shone through the curtains as I stood in the kitchen,carefully preparing lunch for my daughter,Emma.Today was a big day—her first day of elementary school.I packed her lunch in a bright,reusable lunchbox,the same kind my mother used to pack for me when I was a student.
“Mum,why can’t I use a plastic lunchbox like other kids ” Emma asked,her small face frowning in confusion.I knelt down to her level,moving a piece of hair out of her face.“This lunchbox is part of our family tradition,sweetheart.When I was your age,your grandmother would pack my lunch in a similar container every day.” “But why,Mum ” she persisted (坚持不懈).“Isn’t it easier to just throw away a plastic lunchbox ”
I smiled and remembered my own school days,feeling frustrated that I couldn’t just use a disposable (一次性的) box li`e care of it and bring it back home so we can use it again.It’s not just about the lunchbox,Emma.It’s about learning to be responsible and thinking about how our actions affect the world around us.”

　　Hello,everyone.Now I’d like to tell you an unforgettable experience my husband and I once had.Well,we went to Australia for our honeymoon this year.We spent a week in South Australia,a week in Victoria,and two weeks in Queensland.On one particular day we were up in the north of Queensland.We had about two hours until our bus left to go back south again.My husband and I decided to go for a walk.So we followed the road and then down this path.Anyway,it was lovely and we lay on this beach and the beach was fantastic.Then we looked at our watches and realised actually we were going to miss our bus.So we decided to take a short cut.Instead of going back to the road,we’d just walk over the hill.Then we were faced with this problem that a river cut off our way.We thought the water would go up to our knees and it wasn’t running fast,so we’d be fine.So we started to walk through the river.We walked carefully and slowly.When we got about halfway through,suddenly my husband shouted,“Quick!Run!” I asked,“Why ” He said,“Just run!Just run!” So we started running and finally got to the other side.I stood there with water dropping off my hair.I asked again,“Why did we have to run ” My husband pointed to a large board near the river.On the board it got written,“Snakes in the river.DO NOT CROSS!” I looked at my husband with my eyes and mouth wide open.

第二部分　阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
　　People have been recycling household waste for many years.Nevertheless,some uncertainty exists regarding which items are recyclable and which are not.As technology progresses,an increasing number of items have become recyclable.
PLASTIC BOTTLES
Plastic bottles are usually made of PET (聚酯食品包装材料),which can be recycled into fibres for the manufacture of clothing,carpets,or into new plastic bottles,plastic containers,etc.For example,some sports brands use recycled plastic bottles to make sportswear,which is both environmentally friendly and fashionable.
LIGHT BULBS
Instead of discarding light bulbs in the garbage can,some local governments run recycling centres,where you can place such items.If you regularly recycle household glass,kindly remember to wash the glass and remove the lids beforehand.
PIZZA BOXES
Normally pizza boxes are not recycled because they’re covered in grease (油脂) and leftover bits of cheese.When a pizza box is too oily,it won’t be taken to a recycling processing plant.If possible,remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling.If the pizza box can’t be recycled,tear off the lid which can still be recycled.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES
Household batteries can also be recycled.Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem for the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals.Button cells,which are used in hearing aids and watches,can also be recycled.
(　　)21.According to the passage,what should people do with light bulbs
A.Take them to recycling centres run by local governments.
B.Throw them in the regular trash can.
C.Keep them at home forever.
D.Burn them in the open air for disposal.
(　　)22.What do people need to do first to recycle pizza boxes
A.Wash them many times.
B.Drop them off at the pizza shop.

　　Do you have that one piece of technology that has changed your life for the better The technology that helped change my life is the camera.Photography is a way of using photos to create art,making something beautiful and telling a story.The camera is used to capture moments in history.
The camera shows me a different view of the world by revealing that there is always good and bad in the world.It is important to me because it helps recall history.Besides,the camera helps express art by creating feelings of nostalgia (怀旧) and purpose through photos.If there were no photography,there would be less knowledge about history.
When I was a young girl,my family would take pictures to record the memories whether they were good or bad.In our family,valuable photos are considered a treasure passed down from one generation to the next.My strong love for photography was from my uncle who was a photographer and I loved looking at his pictures.Later,I took pictures to show a meaning through photos to follow in his footsteps.
We are on a timeline,and photos can help freeze moments on the timeline.Today people are using photos to create a timeline for their future by putting them in a photo album (相册) or posting them on social media,which can help them remember what happened in the past.
(　　)24.How did the camera influence the author
A.She developed strong interest in technology.

Clothing,water bottles,takeout containers,cutting boards—it’s challenging to keep up with the growing number of items that expose us to tiny plastic particles.Now some tea bags have joined the list.In a 2024 study,scientists found that brewing (冲泡) tea with a tea bag made from polypropylene (聚丙烯) released about 1.2 billion small plastic pieces per millilitre of tea.
Tea bags are made from various materials,including paper,flexible plastics and a new kind of material called biodegradable plastics.Tea bags made from paper will theoretically shed fewer microplastics when compared with plastic versions,said Hailey E.Hampson,a postdoctoral fellow who studies microplastics.But it’s not always easy to figure out what your tea bag was made from.
Of the 12 tea companies we contacted for this article,six responded.They all said that their tea bags were free of microplastics,mainly because they were made from paper or other plant-based materials.However,even paper tea bags aren’t guaranteed to be plastic-free,Dr Hampson said.Some may be sealed (密封) with flexible plastics like polypropylene,or have a plastic coating on the string.
Microplastics can enter our blood and tissues from the food we eat and the air we breathe.But figuring out if those exposures harm health has been challenging.Scientists have found potential links between microplastic exposures and health conditions like cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and cancer.But these studies have limitations,and it’s unclear if the microplastics themselves caused these health effects.
Dr Hampson said that briefly putting your tea bag in room-temperature water,then discarding that water before brewing,can help reduce the microplastics in your tea.Placing the bag under running water might help remove some plastics,too.Just be aware that this method might extract some of the flavour from your tea.What’s more,choose the right tea.Drinking loose-leaf tea is probably the best way to limit your exposure to microplastics.
(　　)28.How does the author introduce the topic
A.By giving examples.
B.By raising questions.
C.By quoting an expert.
D.By defining a concept.
(　　)29.Why can’t we guarantee paper tea bags are plastic-free
A.Because paper itself contains plastics.
B.Because their strings might be plastic-coated.
C.Because they are sealed by plant-based materials.
D.Because heat from brewing releases microplastics.
(　　)30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A.Microplastics can be found everywhere.
B.Microplastics’ harm is impossible to confirm.
C.Breathing is the main way microplastics enter the body.
D.Links between health and microplastics remain uncertain.
(　　)31.Which might be the primary choice of reducing microplastics
A.Selecting expensive tea.
B.Drinking loose-leaf tea.
C.Washing tea bags thoroughly.
D.Preserving tea at low temperatures.

Birds that are active during the day sing later into the night in areas with heavy light pollution,according to research by Brent Pease of Southern Illinois University Carbondale,and Neil Gilbert of Oklahoma State University.Analysing more than 180 million bird vocalisations (歌声) worldwide alongside satellite imagery,they found that under the brightest skies,birds extended daily activity by nearly an hour.Their paper,“Light pollution prolongs avian (鸟类的) activity”,was published in a scientific magazine.
The project came about in Pease’s effort to excite undergraduates about birds.He installed a microphone to broadcast local birdsong on campus.Later,he adopted BirdWeather devices,which use Wi-Fi,navigation systems,sensors and AI connected to the BirdNET database,enabling real-time detection of bird species.This opened new opportunities to study not only where birds are found but also how they behave continuously.Just as trail cameras revolutionised mammal studies decades ago,BirdWeather and BirdNET now allow large-scale behavioural studies of birds.
Using machine learning,BirdNET transforms recordings into spectrograms (声谱图) that identify avian species against a database of over 6,000.This allows analysis of continuous audio data that would otherwise take lifetimes to process.Pease and Gilbert were the first to apply and analyse the BirdWeather data in this way.They had many research options,but first they focused on responses to light pollution.Pease noted,on average birds stayed active an hour longer.Actual times varied by species.
The researchers then asked why.A key factor turned out to be photoreceptor sensitivity (光感受器敏感度).Species with proportionally larger eyes responded more strongly to artificial light than those with smaller eyes.Whether this shift benefits or harms birds remains uncertain.Extended activity may increase opportunities for feeding and mating,but reduced sleep could hurt long-term health.
Since 2021,BirdWeather has collected over 1.4 billion vocalisations from many locations worldwide.Pease called the project “citizen-science at its best”,noting that a tool built for backyard birdwatchers has become a powerful engine for wildlife research.He and Gilbert plan to continue applying the technology to explore the impacts of human forces,particularly light pollution,on global bird populations.
(　　)32.Why did Pease set up a microphone on campus initially
A.To support a global study.
B.To document local noise levels.
C.To measure effects of artificial light.
D.To inspire students’ curiosity about birds.
(　　)33.What key advance did BirdWeather and BirdNET bring
A.Identifying unknown species worldwide.
B.Processing continuous bird behaviour at scale.
C.Replacing fieldwork on birds with satellite tracking.
D.Tracking the regular movement of birds from one place to another.
(　　)34.Which feature best explains birds’ varied reactions to light
A.Relative eye size and sensitivity.
B.Developmental background.
C.Geographic range.
D.Voice strength.
(　　)35.What’s the suitable title for the passage
A.Citizen Science in Wildlife Research
B.How Artificial Light Affects Birds’ Eyes
C.Light Pollution Keeps Birds Active Longer
D.BirdWeather: A Revolutionary Tool for Bird Watching

答案及剖析:
32.D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一、第二句可知,Pease在校园安装麦克风的直接目的是激发学生对鸟类的兴趣。故选D。
33.B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句以及第三段前两句可知,BirdWeather和BirdNET使对鸟类行为的大规模研究以及持续的音频数据分析成为可能。由此可知,BirdWeather和BirdNET的核心突破是实现了对鸟类持续行为数据的大规模处理。故选B。
34.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A key factor turned out to be photoreceptor ... those with smaller eyes.”可知,鸟类对光污染反应存在差异的核心原因是光感受器敏感度和相对眼睛大小——眼睛比例更大的物种对人造光反应更强烈。故选A。
35.C　标题归纳题。根据第一段第一句并结合全文内容可知,文章核心是围绕一项研究展开,该研究探讨了光污染如何延长鸟类的活动时间,同时介绍了研究采用的技术及研究发现。C项准确概括了文章主题,符合文章主旨,适合作文章标题。故选C。

　　The morning sun shone through the curtains as I stood in the kitchen,carefully preparing lunch for my daughter,Emma.Today was a big day—her first day of elementary school.I packed her lunch in a bright,reusable lunchbox,the same kind my mother used to pack for me when I was a student.
“Mum,why can’t I use a plastic lunchbox like other kids ” Emma asked,her small face frowning in confusion.I knelt down to her level,moving a piece of hair out of her face.“This lunchbox is part of our family tradition,sweetheart.When I was your age,your grandmother would pack my lunch in a similar container every day.” “But why,Mum ” she persisted (坚持不懈).“Isn’t it easier to just throw away a plastic lunchbox ”
I smiled and remembered my own school days,feeling frustrated that I couldn’t just use a disposable (一次性的) box li`e care of it and bring it back home so we can use it again.It’s not just about the lunchbox,Emma.It’s about learning to be responsible and thinking about how our actions affect the world around us.”

As I walked Emma to the school bus,I put the lunchbox into her hands and told her it was special once again.“You carry this with pride,honey.It’s a symbol of our love for our planet and our responsibility to take care of it.” She nodded,a determined look on her young face.As the bus drove away,I stood there,hoping and praying that she would truly grasp the significance of our family tradition and the impact it could have on our planet.
Later that evening,I heard Emma’s excited voice in the kitchen.“Mum,I did it! I washed the lunchbox and brought it home like you said.” Her eyes shone with pride and .I hugged her tightly and said,“You’ve done an amazing job,Emma.This is exactly how we make the world a better place,one small step at a time.” She smiled widely,her heart filled with the joy of knowing that she was involved in something much bigger and more meaningful.
