Growing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, together with his family, always celebrated significant occasions by planting trees, which motivated him to protect the environment. It’s what the now 18-year-old soccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an ongoing problem with deforestation.
Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date.
In 2018, Lesein decided to start a movement of his own. He started by planting one tree for every goal he scored during a football match. He called it Trees4Goals, and it has grown so much that he now plants 11 trees, one for each member of his team, every time he scores. Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. As a result, some of them have adapted this practice for their sports. “Seeing that they’re taking that responsibility because of the project I started, for me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said.
The initiative has caught the attention of English football club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which he now works with regularly and gets advice from.
Like Green Belt Movement, Trees4Goals, which has planted 5,500 trees so far, has made it. While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon. “Football is a universal game, and climate change is a universal problem,” he explains. “It has the power to unite, educate and inspire my generation to create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA.
As for what others can do to fight deforestation or other environmental concerns, the teenager says it’s important to just get involved in some way, no matter how small.
24. What made Lesein get interested in environmental protection
A. The influence of his family.
B. Wangari Maathai’s huge assistances.
C. The demand of the football team.
D. His fellow athletes’ encouragement.
25. Why did Lesein found Trees4Goals
A. To gain Kenya’s support.
B. To set an example for others.
C. To catch Arsenal’s attention.
D. To show his achievements.
26. What is Lesein’s hope for the future of Trees4Goals
A. Promoting football’s development.
B. Going global with the help of FIFA.
C. Beating climate change completely.
D. Getting beyond Green Belt Movement.
27. What can we learn from Lesein’s story
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
C. Positive thinking and action result in success.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied.
【答案】24. A25. B26. B27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在肯尼亚长大Lesein Mutunkei是一名足球队员，他发起了“一球一树（Trees4Goals）运动”，每进球一次，他为球队的每一位成员种一棵树，激励其他年轻人去保护环境。到目前为止，该运动已经种植了5500棵树。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, together with his family, always celebrated significant occasions by planting trees, which motivated him to protect the environment. (在肯尼亚长大的Lesein Mutunkei和他的家人总是通过植树来庆祝重要的节日，这促使他保护环境)”可知，在Lesein成长的过程中，他和他的家人总是以种树的方式来庆祝重要的节日，这激励他去保护环境。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. (他希望借此激励年轻人，特别是他的运动员同伴，跟随他的脚步，认真对待自然保护，并承诺每次得分都要植树)”可知，Lesein发起“一球一树运动”是作出表率来激励他人保护环境。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon.(虽然莱辛的倡议得到了一些认可，但他的目标是让它成为一种全球现象)”及“This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA.(这就是为什么
他想与世界上最大的足球联盟国际足联合作)”可知，在FIFA的帮助下，Lesein 希望“一球一树运动”走向全球。故选B。
27.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date.(Mutunkei追随了已故的肯尼亚诺贝尔和平奖得主旺加里·马塔伊的脚步，后者于1977年创立了绿带运动。迄今为止，这一举措已导致种植了5100多万棵树)”及全文内容可知，Lesein从小耳濡目染，很有环保意识，后受到启发，发起了“一球一树运动”并取得了成功。可见，他的故事说明：积极的思考和行动会带来成功。故选C。
C
In a policy address to lawmakers, Japan’s Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, said the country’s population problem was a case of solving the issue “now or never”, and that it “simply cannot wait any longer because it can affect social functions”.
“In thinking of the sustainability and inclusiveness of our nation’s economy and society, we place child care support as our most important policy,” he said, adding that he wants the government to double its spending on child-related programs, and that a new government agency would be set up in April to focus on the issue.
Japan has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, and it recorded fewer than 800,000 births in 2022 for the first time since records began in 1899. The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world; in 2020, nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were age 100 or older, according to government data.
These trends have driven a growing population problem, with a rapidly aging society, a shrinking workforce and not enough young people to fill the gaps in the stagnating (停滞) economy. The country’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to raise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids. Experts point to the pessimism young people in Japan hold towards the future, many frustrated with work pressure and economic stagnation.
How about other parts of East Asia South Korea recently broke its own record for the world’s lowest birth rate, with data from November 2023 showing a South Korean woman will have an average of 0.79 children in her lifetime — far below the 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population. Japan’s birth rate stands at 1.3, while the United States is at 1.6. Meanwhile, China’s population shrank in 2022 for the first time, adding pressure to its economic growth.
28. How does the Japanese government feel about the falling birth rate
A. Surprised. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Worried.
29. Which of the following has led the birth rate in Japan to decline
A. The rapidly aging society. B. The high life expectancies.
C. The shortage of workforce. D. The various stresses of life.
30. What are the statistics in the last paragraph used to show
A. Ignorance of the birth rate. B. Serious population crisis.
C. Weak care services for children. D. Potential harm to women’s health.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.
【答案】28. D29. D30. B31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。日本政府就本国人口危机发出了严重警告，称由于出生率不断下降，人口问题可能影响社会运转。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段“In a policy address to lawmakers, Japan’s Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, said the country’s population problem was a case of solving the issue “now or never”, and that it “simply cannot wait any longer because it can affect social functions”.(日本首相岸田文雄在向国会议员发表的政策讲话中表示，日本的人口问题是一个“要么现在解决，要么永远不解决”的问题，而且“不能再等了，因为它会影响社会功能”)”，再结合第二段谈到的日本政府对出生率下降所采取的行动，可推知，日本政府对此感到很担忧。故选D。
29.细节理解题。根据第四段“The country’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to raise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids.(这个国家的高生活成本、有限的空间以及城市中缺乏儿童保育支持使得抚养孩子变得困难，这意味着生育孩子的夫妇越来越少)”可知，各种生活压力导致年轻人觉得抚养孩子很困难，于是出现出生率下降的情况。故选D。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“South Korea recently broke its own record for the world’s lowest birth rate, with data from November 2023 showing a South Korean woman will have an average of 0.79 children in her lifetime — far below the 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population. Japan’s birth rate stands at 1.3, while the United States is at 1.6. Meanwhile, China’s population shrank in 2022 for the first time, adding pressure to its economic growth.(韩国最近打破了自己创造的世界最低出生率纪录，2023年11月的数据显示，韩国女性一生平均生育0.79个孩子，远低于维持人口稳定所需的2.1个孩子。日本的出生率为1.3，而美国为1.6。与此同时，2022年中国人口首次出现萎缩，给经济增长增加了压力)”可推知，最后一段的统计数据用来说明严重的人口危机。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段“In a policy address to lawmakers, Japan’s Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, said the country’s population problem was a case of solving the issue “now or never”, and that it “simply cannot wait any longer because it can affect social functions”.(日本首相岸田文雄在向国会议员发表的政策讲话中表
示，日本的人口问题是一个“要么现在解决，要么永远不解决”的问题，而且“不能再等了，因为它会影响社会功能”)”结合本文主要在谈：日本政府由于人口出生率下降，采取了相应措施，并分析了出现人口危机的原因，最后一段还指出在东亚存在的人口危机问题。人口以及出生率属于社会主题。故选A。
D
Scientists have found a new way to break down a group of harmful chemicals very hard to get rid of. The discovery could help solve a dangerous and growing problem — how to clean up the pollution of “forever chemicals”.
The group of chemicals known as PFAS (全氟烷基物) are pretty amazing. They’re non-stick, waterproof, and oil proof. They don’t burn easily or dissolve (溶解) in water. So scientists got really excited when they were discovered. Businesses started putting PFAS in all sorts of products, from non-stick pans to waterproof clothes, and from fire-fighting spray to carpets that resist stains. Even things like food wrappers and floss for cleaning your teeth contain PFAS chemicals.
But after a while, scientists realized the same things that made the chemicals useful also caused a real problem — PFAS doesn’t break down in nature. It doesn’t dissolve in water or bum. Not even bacteria can break PFAS down. No wonder these chemicals are known as “forever chemicals”.
As a result, PFAS chemicals surge in the environment. The chemicals are found in air, water, and dirt around the world — and in animals and people. In the US, 97% of humans have PFAS in their blood.
Luckily, scientists in the US have now found a way to break down some PFAS chemicals. Their solution requires boiling PFAS with two other very common chemicals. These chemicals can be found in just about any laboratory.
Dr. Brittany Trang, one of the scientists involved, said she didn’t even want to test the idea at first. “I thought it was too simple,” she said. But the process worked.
The research involved 10 types of PFAS, including two of the most common kinds. That’s a big step. But there are over 12,000 different kinds of PFAS. It’s important to note that the new method can only break down PFAS chemicals that have already been collected. Figuring out how to remove PFAS chemicals from the environment and collect them remains a huge challenge.
32. What can we infer about PFAS chemicals from paragraph 2
A. Scientists were so excited to invent them.
B. They were environmentally friendly at first.
C. They are really widely used in our daily life.
D. They have more advantages than disadvantages.
33. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Increase fast. B. Float everywhere. C. Extend fully. D. React quickly.
34. What does the author think of dealing with PFAS chemicals
A. It’s already too late to get rid of them.
B. There’s still a long way to go about it.
C. The new method is too simple to work well.
D. It’s impossible to get them removed from the environment.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. Say Goodbye to Forever Chemicals
B. PFAS Chemicals Are a Two-edged Sword
C. PFAS Chemicals Will Remain a Challenge for Long
D. Scientists Find a Way to Break down Forever Chemicals
【答案】32. C33. A34. B35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要说明了全氟烷基化学物质又被称为“永久性化学物质”。此类物质发现之初着实令科学家们兴奋，而且被广泛应用于各种各样的产品。随着时间的推移，令其广受青睐的众多“优点”却成了一系列难题的始作俑者。然而，幸运的是，美国的科学家们发现了一种使它们分解的方法。
32.推理判断题。根据第二段“Businesses started putting PFAS in all sorts of products, from non-stick pans to waterproof clothes, and from fire-fighting spray to carpets that resist stains. Even things like food wrappers and floss for cleaning your teeth contain PFAS chemicals.(企业开始在各种产品中添加PFAS，从不粘锅到防水衣服，从消防喷雾到抗污地毯。甚至像食品包装和清洁牙齿的牙线都含有PFAS化学物质)”可推知，全氟烷基化学物质在日常生活中被广泛应用。故选C。
33.词句猜测题。根据第四段“The chemicals are found in air, water, and dirt around the world — and in animals and people. In the US, 97% of humans have PFAS in their blood.(这些化学物质存在于世界各地的空气、水和泥土中，也存在于动物和人体内。在美国，97%的人血液中含有PFAS)”可知，全氟烷基化学物质在环境中快速增加。故划线词意思是“快速增加”。故选A。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“But there are over 12,000 different kinds of PFAS. It’s important to note that the new method can only break down PFAS chemicals that have already been collected. Figuring out how to remove PFAS chemicals from the environment and collect them remains a huge challenge.(但是有超过12000种不同的PFAS。值得注意的是，新方法只能分解已经收集的PFAS化学物质。弄清楚如何从环境中去除PFAS化学物质并收集它们仍然是一个巨大的挑战)”可知，处理全氟烷基化学物质任重而道远，故选B。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have found a new way to break down a group of harmful chemicals very hard to get rid of. The discovery could help solve a dangerous and growing problem — how to clean up the
pollution of “forever chemicals”.(科学家们发现了一种新的方法来分解一组很难去除的有害化学物质。这一发现可能有助于解决一个日益严重的危险问题——如何清理“永久化学物质”的污染)”结合主要说明了全氟烷基化学物质又被称为“永久性化学物质”。此类物质发现之初着实令科学家们兴奋，而且被广泛应用于各种各样的产品。随着时间的推移，令其广受青睐的众多“优点”却成了一系列难题的始作俑者。然而，幸运的是，美国的科学家们发现了一种使它们分解的方法。故D项“科学家找到了分解永久化学物质的方法”最适合作文章的标题。故选D。

Is going alone in an unknown area the right way to go, or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds. ____36____ The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites. That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.
Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own. ____37____ Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.
____38____ If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend the live tour guides. I went all three ways, and I received more enjoyment by someone telling me items interest I know I had missed on previous tours. ____39____ It gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown. The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.

【答案】36. C37. F38. D39. E40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讨论了旅游中独自游玩还是选择有导游的方式哪一种方式更好，作者根据自己的旅游经历建议最好是两者相结合，这种互补的方式能让旅游更完美、更难忘。
36.根据上文的“Is going alone in an unknown area the right way to go, or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds.(独自一人去一个陌生的地方是正确的做法吗？还是你想要一个导游告诉你亮点？我认为你可以在一次旅行中把这两种方式结合起来做到两全其美。)”和下文的“The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites. That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.(我们所做的最好的购买是一次巴士之旅，它可以带我们游览首都并指出所有的主要景点。这样，第二天我们就可以步行去我们特别想去的地方了。)”可知，C项(我们最近去了一次华盛顿特区。)承接上文，通过作者的亲身经历来说明怎样做到两全其美，作者建议在旅游中将两种方式结合起来，后面所举例子就是自己在一次旅游中将两者结合的经历。故选C项。
37.根据上文的“Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own.(让我们来看看旧金山湾区，这是我最喜欢的度假胜地之一。有些地区对游客来说是如此熟悉，以至于可以自己参观景点。)”和下文的“Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.(渔人码头和39号码头就是很好的例子。只需步行几个街区，你就可以参观39号码头的海湾水族馆和激流拱廊。)”可知，F项(这样你就可以慢慢来，按照自己的节奏去参观。)承接上文，说明了游客对某些景点的熟悉带来的自己参观的便利，下文具体举例子说明了这一点。故选F项。
38.根据下文的“If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend the live tour guides.(如果你去恶魔岛，你可以选择一个人去，或现场请一位导游或由耳机引导。我推荐现场请导游。)”可知，D项(有些景点值得请导游。)适合做主题句，下文具体举出了一个值得有导游引领的景点。故选D项。
39.根据下文的“It gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown. The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.(让你了解多姿多彩的唐人街的幕后风貌。这趟旅行涵盖了历史、当地人民的传统和文化，这些是你独自旅行时可能不会知道或看到的。)”可知，这里介绍了另外一个值得跟随导游游玩的地方，即唐人街，E项(唐人街徒步游是跟随导游的必游项目。)可以引出下文的介绍。故选E项。
40.根据上文的“You can go alone to attractions or take a guided tour. It’s your choice and you can choose whichever would give you the most memorable experience. (你可以独自去景点，也可以参加导游团。这是你的选择，你可以选择给你带来最难忘经历的做法。)”可知，A项(我两者都推荐。)承接上文，作者建议两者
可相结合，是对本文的一个总结，和开头的“I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds.”呼应。故选A项。

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
March 14 is right around the comer, and math learners know ____56____ that means. It’s Pi Day, a holiday honoring one of math’s most famous constants (常量): pi.
The number pi, or π, is equal to the circumference (圆周长) of a circle ____57____ (divide) by the circle’s diameter (直径). That comes out to about 3.14159. This is true for circles of all sizes, from ____58____ (penny) to pizzas to planets. Pi’s value is often rounded to 3.14. That’s why Pi Day ____59____ (celebrate) on March 14. It’s also why one Earth-sized planet orbiting another star every 3.14 days is nicknamed “Pi Earth.”
But the exact value of pi is ____60____ (actual) impossible to write out. Last year, a ____61____ (power) computer calculated pi to record-breaking 62.8 trillion (万亿) figures. And in 2005, one 23-year-old used clever mental tricks to recite nearly 68,000 of those figures from memory. No one, though, will ever get to ____62____ end of pi.
Historians aren’t sure when people first ____63____ (discover) the concept of pi. But it’s been known in some form ____64____ almost 4,000 years. Ancient Greeks and Babylonians knew estimates of it. The Egyptians may have used pi _____65_____ (build) the pyramids. And still today, pi is used in just about all math involving circles.
【答案】56. what
57. divided
58. pennies
59. is celebrated
60. actually
61. powerful
62. the63. discovered
64. for65. to build
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了数学里面最著名的常量之一：圆周率π。作为一个无限不循环小数，有人挑战记忆它的巨长的数字，但是无人能背到它的最后一个数字。它的作用很大，被运用到很多领域之中。
【56题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：3月14日即将到来，数学学习者知道这意味着什么。分析句子可知，know“知道”后接宾语从句，需要使用关系代词what引导，在从句中作主语。故填what。
【57题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：π等于圆的周长除以圆的直径。分析句子可知，此处divide“除以”需要使用过去分词形式，作the circumstance of a circle“圆的周长”的后置定语，即被除以直径的圆周长。故填divided。
【58题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：这适用于各种大小的圆圈，从便士到披萨，再到行星。分析句子可知，此处无表示单数的量词或冠词修饰的可数名词penny“便士”需要填写复数形式pennies。故填pennies。
【59题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这就是为什么在3月14日庆祝圆周率日。分析句子可知，此处动词celebrate“庆祝”作表语从句的谓语动词，使用一般现在时的被动语态表示“被庆祝”。故填is celebrated。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：但π的确切值实际上不可能写出。分析句子可知，此处形容词actual“实际的”需要使用副词形式，修饰后面的形容词impossible“不可能”。故填actually。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：去年，一台强大的计算机计算出了破纪录的62.8万亿数字。分析句子可知，此处名词power“力量”需要改为形容词powerful “强大的”作定语修饰computer“电脑”。故填powerful。
【62题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：然而，没有人会算到圆周率的最后一个数字。分析句子可知，此处需要添加定冠词the表示特指圆周率这个数字的终点。故填the。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：历史学家不确定人们何时首次发现圆周率的概念。分析句子可知，此处discover“发现”作宾语从句的谓语动词，与主语people构成主动关系，且是过去发生的事情，故使用一般过去时。故填discovered。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：但它已经以某种形式被知道了近4000年。分析句子可知，此处时间状语almost 4,000 years“将近4,000年”表示持续的时间，使用介词for连接符合语法规则。故填for。
【65题详解】
考查不定式。句意：埃及人可能使用了圆周率修筑金字塔。分析句子可知，动词build“修建”需要使用不定式，表示使用圆周率的目的。故填to build。

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。
What should have been a regular Sunday at the YMCA turned into a day one teenage lifeguard will never forget!
Eighteen-year-old Natalie Lucas has been working as a lifeguard at the YMCA in Longmont, Colorado, for the past three years. Recently, a couple entered the pool area while she was on duty. The woman was very pregnant, so
Natalie kept a close eye on her as she eased herself into the shallow end of the pool.
Tessa Rider was nine months pregnant that day. She and her husband, Matthew Jones, came to the pool a few times that week to ease the discomfort of a nerve pain.
As Tessa was resting in the pool, she suddenly realized something was happening. Natalie noticed Tessa climbed out of the pool, so she went over to check on the couple. “I walk over and Matthew, the husband, says to me, ‘We’re having the baby right now.’ I’m like, ‘OK!’” Natalie recalled.
Matthew called 911, but as he spoke to the operator he knew it was too late. Tessa was already pulling her bathing suit off. Natalie helped Tessa and Matthew by bringing over the center’s medical supplies and towels, and calling for more assistance from the front desk. Throughout it all, she told herself to remain calm and focus on caring for Tessa.
“I knew I needed to stay calm,” Natalie said. “So I made sure to keep my head on and stay with them, keep asking them questions, and keep them focused on the baby and made sure that they were the most comfortable.”
Less than five minutes later, Matthew caught his newborn son as he was born on the pool edge.
After helping clear the baby’s airway and ensuring he was breathing, Natalie used her back to support the new mom until paramedic (护理员) arrived. Once there, baby Tobin Thomas Rider received a clean bill of health!
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。
Paragraph 1:
Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them. They thought they were in great need of an extra set of hands at that moment. Matthew said Natalie was super focused on Tessa so that he did not have to worry about his wife. Without Natalie there, he wouldn’t have been able to give his attention to Tobin. “She was there to do anything we asked,” said Tessa. “And the first thing I thought of was that someone could hold my back up. And she did. It was perfect.”
Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job. The teen, who’s getting ready to head off to college in the fall, says, “I just did what I was supposed to do in that situation. I’m a lifeguard. It was the first time I’d had to help bring life into the world, rather than just prevent death.” Undoubtedly, the whole experience made an impression on her and she planned on sending birthday cards to Tobin. Both Natalie and the couple plan to stay in touch. They’re definitely bonded for life after this unforgettable experience.

Growing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, together with his family, always celebrated significant occasions by planting trees, which motivated him to protect the environment. It’s what the now 18-year-old soccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an ongoing problem with deforestation.
Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date.
In 2018, Lesein decided to start a movement of his own. He started by planting one tree for every goal he scored during a football match. He called it Trees4Goals, and it has grown so much that he now plants 11 trees, one for each member of his team, every time he scores. Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. As a result, some of them have adapted this practice for their sports. “Seeing that they’re taking that responsibility because of the project I started, for me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said.
The initiative has caught the attention of English football club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which he now works with regularly and gets advice from.
Like Green Belt Movement, Trees4Goals, which has planted 5,500 trees so far, has made it. While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon. “Football is a universal game, and climate change is a universal problem,” he explains. “It has the power to unite, educate and inspire my generation to create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA.
As for what others can do to fight deforestation or other environmental concerns, the teenager says it’s important
to just get involved in some way, no matter how small.
24. What made Lesein get interested in environmental protection
A. The influence of his family.
B. Wangari Maathai’s huge assistances.
C. The demand of the football team.
D. His fellow athletes’ encouragement.
25. Why did Lesein found Trees4Goals
A. To gain Kenya’s support.
B. To set an example for others.
C. To catch Arsenal’s attention.
D. To show his achievements.
26. What is Lesein’s hope for the future of Trees4Goals
A. Promoting football’s development.
B. Going global with the help of FIFA.
C. Beating climate change completely.
D. Getting beyond Green Belt Movement.
27. What can we learn from Lesein’s story
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
C. Positive thinking and action result in success.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied.
C
In a policy address to lawmakers, Japan’s Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, said the country’s population problem was a case of solving the issue “now or never”, and that it “simply cannot wait any longer because it can affect social functions”.
“In thinking of the sustainability and inclusiveness of our nation’s economy and society, we place child care support as our most important policy,” he said, adding that he wants the government to double its spending on child-related programs, and that a new government agency would be set up in April to focus on the issue.
Japan has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, and it recorded fewer than 800,000 births in 2022 for the first time since records began in 1899. The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world; in 2020, nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were age 100 or older, according to government data.
These trends have driven a growing population problem, with a rapidly aging society, a shrinking workforce and not enough young people to fill the gaps in the stagnating (停滞) economy. The country’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to raise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids. Experts point to the pessimism young people in Japan hold towards the future, many frustrated with work pressure and economic stagnation.
How about other parts of East Asia South Korea recently broke its own record for the world’s lowest birth rate, with data from November 2023 showing a South Korean woman will have an average of 0.79 children in her lifetime — far below the 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population. Japan’s birth rate stands at 1.3, while the United States is at 1.6. Meanwhile, China’s population shrank in 2022 for the first time, adding pressure to its economic growth.
28. How does the Japanese government feel about the falling birth rate
A. Surprised. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Worried.
29. Which of the following has led the birth rate in Japan to decline
A. The rapidly aging society. B. The high life expectancies.
C. The shortage of workforce. D. The various stresses of life.
30. What are the statistics in the last paragraph used to show
A. Ignorance of the birth rate. B. Serious population crisis.
C. Weak care services for children. D. Potential harm to women’s health.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.
D
Scientists have found a new way to break down a group of harmful chemicals very hard to get rid of. The discovery could help solve a dangerous and growing problem — how to clean up the pollution of “forever chemicals”.
The group of chemicals known as PFAS (全氟烷基物) are pretty amazing. They’re non-stick, waterproof, and oil proof. They don’t burn easily or dissolve (溶解) in water. So scientists got really excited when they were discovered. Businesses started putting PFAS in all sorts of products, from non-stick pans to waterproof clothes, and from fire-fighting spray to carpets that resist stains. Even things like food wrappers and floss for cleaning your teeth contain PFAS chemicals.
But after a while, scientists realized the same things that made the chemicals useful also caused a real problem — PFAS doesn’t break down in nature. It doesn’t dissolve in water or bum. Not even bacteria can break PFAS down. No wonder these chemicals are known as “forever chemicals”.
As a result, PFAS chemicals surge in the environment. The chemicals are found in air, water, and dirt around the
world — and in animals and people. In the US, 97% of humans have PFAS in their blood.
Luckily, scientists in the US have now found a way to break down some PFAS chemicals. Their solution requires boiling PFAS with two other very common chemicals. These chemicals can be found in just about any laboratory.
Dr. Brittany Trang, one of the scientists involved, said she didn’t even want to test the idea at first. “I thought it was too simple,” she said. But the process worked.
The research involved 10 types of PFAS, including two of the most common kinds. That’s a big step. But there are over 12,000 different kinds of PFAS. It’s important to note that the new method can only break down PFAS chemicals that have already been collected. Figuring out how to remove PFAS chemicals from the environment and collect them remains a huge challenge.
32. What can we infer about PFAS chemicals from paragraph 2
A. Scientists were so excited to invent them.
B. They were environmentally friendly at first.
C. They are really widely used in our daily life.
D. They have more advantages than disadvantages.
33. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Increase fast. B. Float everywhere. C. Extend fully. D. React quickly.
34. What does the author think of dealing with PFAS chemicals
A. It’s already too late to get rid of them.
B. There’s still a long way to go about it.
C. The new method is too simple to work well.
D. It’s impossible to get them removed from the environment.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. Say Goodbye to Forever Chemicals
B. PFAS Chemicals Are a Two-edged Sword
C. PFAS Chemicals Will Remain a Challenge for Long
D. Scientists Find a Way to Break down Forever Chemicals

next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.
Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own. ____37____ Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.
____38____ If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend the live tour guides.

The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.

March 14 is right around the comer, and math learners know ____56____ that means. It’s Pi Day, a holiday honoring one of math’s most famous constants (常量): pi.
The number pi, or π, is equal to the circumference (圆周长) of a circle ____57____ (divide) by the circle’s diameter (直径). That comes out to about 3.14159.

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。
What should have been a regular Sunday at the YMCA turned into a day one teenage lifeguard will never forget!
Eighteen-year-old Natalie Lucas has been working as a lifeguard at the YMCA in Longmont, Colorado, for the past three years. Recently, a couple entered the pool area while she was on duty. The woman was very pregnant, so Natalie kept a close eye on her as she eased herself into the shallow end of the pool.
Tessa Rider was nine months pregnant that day. She and her husband, Matthew Jones, came to the pool a few times that week to ease the discomfort of a nerve pain.
As Tessa was resting in the pool, she suddenly realized something was happening. Natalie noticed Tessa climbed out of the pool, so she went over to check on the couple. “I walk over and Matthew, the husband, says to me, ‘We’re
having the baby right now.’ I’m like, ‘OK!’” Natalie recalled.
Matthew called 911, but as he spoke to the operator he knew it was too late. Tessa was already pulling her bathing suit off. Natalie helped Tessa and Matthew by bringing over the center’s medical supplies and towels, and calling for more assistance from the front desk. Throughout it all, she told herself to remain calm and focus on caring for Tessa.
“I knew I needed to stay calm,” Natalie said. “So I made sure to keep my head on and stay with them, keep asking them questions, and keep them focused on the baby and made sure that they were the most comfortable.”
Less than five minutes later, Matthew caught his newborn son as he was born on the pool edge.
After helping clear the baby’s airway and ensuring he was breathing, Natalie used her back to support the new mom until paramedic (护理员) arrived. Once there, baby Tobin Thomas Rider received a clean bill of health!
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。
Paragraph 1:
Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Matthew and Tessa are both grateful that Natalie was there to help them. They thought they were in great need of an extra set of hands at that moment. Matthew said Natalie was super focused on Tessa so that he did not have to worry about his wife. Without Natalie there, he wouldn’t have been able to give his attention to Tobin. “She was there to do anything we asked,” said Tessa. “And the first thing I thought of was that someone
could hold my back up. And she did. It was perfect.”
Natalie said Tobin’s unexpected birth was all just part of her job. The teen, who’s getting ready to head off to college in the fall, says, “I just did what I was supposed to do in that situation. I’m a lifeguard. It was the first time I’d had to help bring life into the world, rather than just prevent death.” Undoubtedly, the whole experience made an impression on her and she planned on sending birthday cards to Tobin. Both Natalie and the couple plan to stay in touch. They’re definitely bonded for life after this unforgettable experience.
