[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，作者介绍了科幻小说之父儒勒·凡尔纳及其作品对现代科技的预见性，以及他对科技与人性关系的深刻思考。分析了他对科技进步的双重态度——既肯定其对人类发展的推动，也警惕其潜在的危害。总结了凡尔纳作品中“冒险精神”的永恒价值及其对人类探索未知的深远影响。
细节理解题。根据第二段“He described the ‘phonotelephone’ which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon
Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent(他描述了可以远距离传送声音和图像的‘电话机’。主人公Fritz Napoleon Smith能够通过这种技术轻松地与他在另一个大陆的妻子交流)”和第三段中“Mr.Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的)with tears.(Smith先生能够清楚地看到他的妻子，尽管他和她相隔很远.....Smimth夫人立即出现在长焦屏幕上，脸上带着微笑，眼里含着泪水)"可知，Smith和妻子交流时使用可以远距离传送声音和图像的“电话机"，妻子的脸会出现在屏幕上，所以Smith是通过即时视频聊天和妻子联系，故选D。
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the ‘hard science fiction’ of the 20th century and beyond.(与同时代的其他作家写更多的幻想或超自然的故事不同，Verne在他的未来愿景中追求现实主义，总是基于前沿科学和他自己的广泛研究。这为20世纪及以后的‘硬科幻小说’奠定了基础)”可知,“硬科幻小说”以最新的研究结果为基础，故选C。
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine(潜艇) to violently attack ships. For Verne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruetion.(他的许多故事都描写了一位才华横溢但疯狂的科学家，他的发明最终带来的坏处大于好处。在《海底两万里》中，尼莫船长使用他的潜艇猛烈攻击船只。Verne认为，人类的本性决定了技术是善的力量还是毁灭的源泉)"可知，Verne描写尼莫船长使用他的潜艇猛烈攻击船只，这是描写科技带来的坏处，推知他意识到了科技的危险，故选B。
推理判断题。根据第一段中“he also predicted over100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writing(他还在他的作品中预言了100多种现代发明和技术)”和第四段中“Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction.(Verne以技术为基础的冒险故事代表了一种通过小说想象未来的新方法)”可知，Verne的作品预言了100多种现代发明和技术，以技术为基础想象未来世界，故他具有前瞻性思维，故选D。

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是狗凭借其卓越的嗅觉能力，在保护濒危物种、打击非法野生动物交易等方面发挥重要作用，成为生态保护中的宝贵助手。
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“With around 220million olfactory receptors(嗅觉受体) compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents (气味) and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do.(狗拥有大约2.2亿个嗅觉受体，而人类仅有500万个，狗能以惊人的准确性检测和分析气味，它们用于气味分析的大脑部分比人类多出40倍。)“可知，本段使用了具体的数字来比较狗和人类的嗅觉受体数量以及大脑用于分析气味的比例，以此突出狗的嗅觉能力远超人类。故选A项。
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At the University of Washington's Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean's surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic.(在华盛顿大学的保护犬设施，20只特别训练的狗已经成功追踪到了虎鲸的粪便，这些粪便仅在海面上短暂漂浮。分析这些样本使科学家能够监测虎鲸种群的健康状况，这些种群正因食物短缺、污染和船只交通而承受着巨大的压力。)"可知，经过特别训练的狗可以追踪到虎鲸的粪便，进而科学家分析这些粪便样本监测虎鲸种群的健康状况，由此可知，通过嗅探虎鲸的粪便帮助保护虎鲸。故选B项。
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya's Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer.(狗还承担着其他重要角色。例如，在肯尼亚的蒙巴萨港，狗嗅探出非法的野生动物产品，如犀牛角和象牙。在整个非洲，它们在打击非法狩猎的第一线工作，充当强大的安保力量增强者。)”可知，狗还承担其他重要的角色，进而在下文中列举了狗嗅探出非法的野生动物产品，由此可知，本段举例说明狗在打击非法野生动物交易方面的作用。故选C项。
推理判断题。根据首段中的“It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists.(你可能会惊讶地发现，狗作为保护者正发挥着越来越重要的作用。)”以及尾段“While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge. their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet's biodiversity.(虽然狗可能不是解决每个保护挑战的最终方案，但它们无与伦比的能力使它们成为保护地球生物多样性斗争中不可或缺的伙伴。)”以及作者描述的狗在保护工作中扮演的不同角色，包括追踪动物排泄物、现场活体探测、定位稀有物种、应对威胁本地野生动物生存的非本土物种、以及打击非法狩猎等，由此可知，文章旨在向读者介绍狗在保护生物多样性方面所发挥的重要作用。故选C项。
D
答案： 12.B 13. C 14. A 15.D
解析：这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了整个宇宙都是由同一种物质构成的，物质在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同样的规律。因此，我们有理由猜测，其他恒星，以及它们自己的行星，都是以与我们太阳系相同的方式诞生的。我们对地球上生命的了解表明，只要存在适当的条件，生命就会出现。
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere”以及文章第四段中“Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light.”以及文章第五段中 “Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun”可知，生命的进化需要适当数量和种类的大气、稳定的光和热供应以及行星与太阳的距离恰到好处。文章中没有提到生命的进化需要太阳系。结合选项，故选B。
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly."可知，生命也需要稳定的光和热供应。这就排除了双星，或突然爆发的恒星。结合选项， C项表述错误。故选C。
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun.Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns.Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet."可知，大部分行星都不能维持生命，因为他们要么离太阳太近，要么离太阳太远，要么与地球大小和重量不一样，而且适当的条件也并不一定意味着生命确实。结合选项，故选A。
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.”可知，然而，即使生命可能只存在于百万分之一的行星上，但仍有数十亿的行星可能存在生命。可知，生命可能在许多星球存在。结合选项，故选D。

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “Extraordinary Voyages（航海）” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephote,” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist（潮湿的）with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supermatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine（潜艇）to violently attack ships. For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4. How docs Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
5. What is the “hard science fiction” based on
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
6. What can we infer about Veme from Captain Nemo’s story
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
7. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text
A. Strong-willed. B. Fantasy-seeking.
C. Positive-minded. D. Forward-thinking.
C
It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists. For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique abilities are being made use of to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species.
Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors (嗅觉受体) compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents (气味) and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do.
Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing (嗅) out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic.
Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non - native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer.
While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge, their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity.
8.Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph
A. To highlight the superiority of dogs' sense of smell.
B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs' analysis.
C. To recognize the importance of conservation work.
D. To show dogs' impressive achievements in fieldwork.
9. How do dogs help protect killer whales
A. By tracking their movements. B. By detecting their droppings. C. By monitoring their populations.
D. By analyzing the collected samples.
10. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 4
A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries.
B.Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife.
C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade.
D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity.
B. To report various environmental challenges.
C. To introduce dogs' roles in conservation efforts.
D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs' qualities.
D
Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe—life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.
As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.
Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.
Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.
Finally, life could evolve only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.
If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.
This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.
12. The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT ______.
A. the right amount of atmosphere
B. our own solar system
C. steady heat and light
D. the right distance from the sun
13. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT
A. The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.
B. Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.
C. Double stars can provide steady light and heat.
D. The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.
14. What kind of planet might NOT support life
A. Most of the planets of the stars.
B. Stars similar to our sun.
C. Planets with a steady supply of heat and light.
D. Planets with the right distance from their suns.
15. At the end of the passage the author suggests that _________.
A. it is impossible for life to exist on other planets.
B. earthlike life could only exist on a few planets.
C. life could exist on only one planet in a million.
D. life could exist on a great number of panets.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. 16 They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install（安装）a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. 17 It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage（排水）layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. 18
Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don't need much water. 19 Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
20 It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.
