Best New Movies Streaming Online
Here, then, are some of the best movies streaming online.
Society of the Snow
The true story of the 1972 Uruguayan rugby team lost in the Andes following a plane crash has been the subject of multiple documentaries. For all that, this would seem to be the best of all of them, with director J. A．Bayona emphasizing both the physical dangers faced by the team and the spiritual sufferings of survival.
Orion and the Dark
Orion and the Dark, adapted from the book by Emma Yarlett, is a family-friendly film about how taking risks is the only way to overcome your fears. It tells the story of a boy with an active imagination who faces his fears on an unforgettable journey through the night with his new friend: a giant, smiling creature named Dark.
Damsel
The famous action lead, Millie Bobby Brown, is back in this dark fantasy from director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Brown plays Princess Elodie, who is forced into an arranged marriage by her family, only to discover that she’s marked as the sacrifice (祭品) to a dragon.
Anyone but You
Anyone but You was directed by Will Gluck with Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell starring a couple who meet, attract each other—and then immediately get tired of each other so that neither really wants to see each other again. Until, they need wedding dates and find themselves surrounded by scheming (狡诈的) friends. It’s not as crazy as a romantic comedy, but this one is brightly directed.
21．Which movie is related to an aircraft accident
A．Society of the Snow. B．Orion and the Dark.
C．Damsel. D．Anyone but You.
22．What is Emma Yarlett
A．An actor. B．A director. C．A writer. D．An explorer.
23．Who does the author praise when introducing Anyone but You

In a cooperation between the popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, famously known as MrBeast, and the rapidly expanding electric bike company Lectric eBikes, a remarkable plan has unfolded, touching the lives of 600 individuals in need across America.
Lectric eBikes, recognized as one of the nation’s leading electric bike manufacturers, joined forces with Donaldson’s Beast Philanthropy, a nonprofit organization with a goal of making the world a better place. Together, they started a mission to provide life-changing electric bikes to those facing transport challenges.
With a shared vision of making a practical difference in people’s lives, the partnership saw Lectric eBikes generously donating $600,000 worth of electric bikes to Beast Philanthropy.
“E-bikes can make a significant positive impact on the lives of individuals, especially those who are struggling due to a lack of reliable transportation,” stated Levi Conlow, co-founder and CEO of Lectric eBikes.
To identify deserving receivers, Beast Philanthropy enlisted the support of MrBeast’s vast online community, encouraging individuals to submit videos detailing their need for an electric bike. After careful discussion,600 individuals were selected as receivers of the life-changing electric bikes. Some bikes were hand-delivered to recipients, while others were shipped directly to their doorsteps, ensuring an efficient distribution process.
The impact of this initiative was pretty evident as receivers shared their joy and gratitude through video responses, showing the transformative power of their new electric bikes. From unboxing their bikes to taking their first exciting rides, the receivers expressed great appreciation for the newfound mobility and freedom that their electric bikes afforded them.
“Our goal at Beast Philanthropy is to help as many people as possible. Lectric eBikes shares the same goal, so working with them on projects is an excellent match,” remarked Darren Margolias, director of Beast Philanthropy.
24．Why did Lectric eBikes cooperate with MrBeast
A．To increase sales. B．To promote its brand.
C．To aid people in need. D．To start a new business.
25．How were the receivers of the e-bikes chosen
A．By joining online community. B．Through MrBeast’s recommendation.
C．By selecting on the Internet. D．Through intense competitions.
26．What was the feeling of the e-bike receivers
A．Confused. B．Relieved. C．Disappointed. D．Grateful.
27．What mainly contributed to the success of this cooperative mission
A．The shared purpose. B．The netizens’ appeal.
C．The popularity of e-bikes. D．The support of the government.
A photographic playground of a salt flat can be found across southwest Bolivia. Here, the remains of an ancient lake have created a salty crust that is packed with amazing honeycomb-like (蜂窝状的) shapes in the dry season — and turns into a massive mirror when wet.
The world’s largest salt flat is transformed when overflowing lakes nearby flood its surface with a thin layer of water. Salar de Uyuni, as the salt flat is known, is completely level and stretches for about 10,582 square kilometers, making its reflective surface roughly the same size as the “Big Island” of Hawaii. From space, it can be observed as the larger of two neighboring salt flats — the second being Salar de Coipasa, which sits to the northwest. The two landscapes appear otherworldly in photos, but they’re largely made up of something you’ll find on most dinner tables.
Salar de Uyuni is a desert of rock salt — which is your common table salt — and gypsum, which is what some of the biggest crystals (晶体) on the planet are made of. Its salty surface is often marked with a strange honeycomb pattern, which got scientists at a loss. Why are the patterns so geometrically perfect
In 2023, a team of researchers finally worked it out. “In salt deserts, the first thing you see—almost the only thing you see — is an endless hexagon (a shape that has six straight sides) and other ordered shapes,” said study author Dr Lucas Goehring. “What we’ve shown is that a simple, seemingly reasonable explanation is there, but hidden beneath the ground. The surface patterns reflect the slow overturning of salt water within the soil, a phenomenon somewhat like the convection (对流) cells that form in a thin layer of boiling water.”
28．What does the underlined word “crust” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Surface. B．Ocean. C．Slice. D．Container.
29．What can we infer about Salar de Uyuni from Paragraph 2
A．It often floods nearby lakes. B．It’s made of ordinary matter.
C．It makes Hawaii famous. D．Its formation is a mystery.
30．What aspect of Salar de Uyuni made scientists puzzled
A．Its inner structure. B．Its composition.
C．Its huge size. D．Its unique patterns.
31．How are the honeycomb patterns of the Salar de Uyuni formed
A．Through the movement of salt water. B．By the disappearance of lake water.
C．By slowly boiling the surface water. D．Through the change of other ordered shapes.
Tidal (潮汐的) pressures have been observed pushing relatively warm water under the Thwaites Glacier, exposing a much larger area of ice to warming pressure.
Rising temperatures are making the existing water in the ocean expand and melting (融化) glaciers. All of these are certain to increase, and spell trouble for coastal cities worldwide. There is much more uncertainty, however, about the rate at which Antarctic ice will melt, potentially multiplying existing estimates for flooding threats. Despite the vastness of Antarctica, one glacier, the Thwaites, is considered key, earning the name the “Doomsday Glacier”. The Thwaites Glacier is fearful because the shape of the seafloor beneath means once a certain boundary is broken through it will melt very fast. Tides could mean we reach that sooner.
The Thwaites Glacier is 120 kilometers wide where it reaches the ocean and extends from West Antarctica into an offshore basin. The warming of air above and the water in front of the Thwaites are causing it to melt, but there are fears of something much worse. Water underneath the Thwaites where it currently sits upon the bottom of the ocean would expose the ice to much more heating, greatly speeding up the melt rate.
Scientists have seen evidence in satellite imagery that the seawater is getting beneath the glacier daily and lifting it off the seabed, before the weight of the 1.2-kilometer thick glacier causes it to settle back down. The cycle repeats with the tides over the front 2-6 kilometers of the glacier, but when the Sun and the Moon are in a straight line to create extreme tidal conditions, they can reach up to six kilometers further.
This causes brief accelerated (加速的) warming, but the shape of the basin means that when the glacier’s front sinks deeper into the basin the underside melting will become continuous. Two ridges (山脊) on the seabed are the planet’s last lines of defense against accelerated melting. The question for humanity is how long we have before both are broken through.
32．Why is Thwaites Glacier regarded as critical for sea level rise
A．It has a unique shape. B．It is likely to expand.
C．It might melt quickly. D．It’s sensitive to climate.
33．What speeds up the melting of the Thwaites Glacier
A．Solar radiation directly on the ice. B．Chemical reactions in the seawater.
C．Air temperatures above the glacier. D．The warm water beneath the glacier.
34．What will happen if the Sun and the Moon are in a straight line
A．Seawater will go further under the glacier.
B．The glacier will be lifted up quickly.
C．The glacier will be pushed back to the land.
D．Water level will rise and fall repeatedly.
35．What is mainly talked about in this text
A．The impact of tidal pressures. B．Rising temperatures and sea levels.
C．The uncertainty about Antarctic ice melt. D．The Thwaites Glacier’s rapid melting.
Tips to Setting Goals
Setting goals is easy but that is just the beginning. After taking the time to identify what your goals are, achieving them is a whole other ball game. 36 . Here are some effective goal-setting tips on how to achieve life goals to the best of your ability.
Make your goals specific. There’s no point in setting unclear goals that don’t achieve anything specific. Research found that in 90% of studies conducted, specific and challenging goals lead to higher performance than when people set easy goals, “do your best” goals, or no goals at all. It’s important for both you and your employees to have clear and established aims. 37 .
Make your goals measurable. Once you have a specific goal, it’s important to be able to measure the success or completion of the goal. 38 , like using scales (刻度) or statistical figures. It just has to be measurable in some sense, so that it is clear when you have reached or are close to reaching your goals.
Make your goals relevant. It is essential that any goals set for teams or individuals are relevant to company-wide aims. 39 . However, the achievement of individual goals is only really beneficial in the workplace environment and will contribute to company success in some way.
40 . It’s not productive to set a deadline too far in the future for a simple task, or an unrealistically short deadline for something complex and time-consuming. This common trap may make employees very upset.
A．Make your goals time-limited
B．Make your goals easy to achieve
C．This doesn’t have to be in the traditional sense
D．Of course, individual goal completion is important
E．Working to achieve your goals can be challenging at times
F．Make sure your staff know how their work contributes to the company
G．By doing so, you can avoid setting goals too broad to be put into action

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
It was a sunny morning when I packed my bags for a business trip. The house was filled with the usual hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘), but today there was a sense of excitement mixed with a bit of anxiety. This would be the first time I would be leaving my son, Max, behind for a few days. Max, five years old, was used to having me around. Little did he know, today was going to be a day of new experiences and emotions.
As I took out my suitcase, Max entered the room, his eyes wide with curiosity. “Mom, where are you going ” he asked, his voice carrying innocence and some concern. I smiled, “I’ve to go on a trip for work, Max. I’ll be back in a few days.”
Max’s eyes grew even wider, and I could see the look of shock on his face. He had never been apart from me for more than a day, and the concept of me being away was completely new to him. “But, Mom, who will take care of me ” he asked, his voice trembling (颤抖) slightly.
I hugged him tightly, saying, “Dad will be here with you, and Grandma is coming over to help. You’ll have so much fun with them, and I’ll call you every day,” I said, hoping to ease his worries. Max nodded slowly, but I could tell he was still unsure.
As the day went on, I noticed Max staying close to me, watching my every move. He helped me pack, and brought me items he thought I might need, like his favorite toy car and a drawing he made for me. His small gestures touched my heart, and I realized how much he cared.
When it was finally time for me to leave, Max stood by the door, his expression a mix of bravery and sadness. I hugged him one last time and whispered, “I’ll be back before you know it, Max. Be good and remember that I love you.” He nodded, with tears in his eyes.

M: I have to. If I don’t, I’ll have no hope of making progress for the rest of my life. Actually, I quite enjoy these classes. The other people attending the courses are really friendly. And the teachers are excellent. I really feel I’m benefiting. I think when I finish this I might study a foreign language and then I’ll be really well qualified.

【听力材料】 After a test last autumn, Kuang went to Toronto to visit his schoolmate, the distance measuring about 5,000 kilometers. This train started from Vancouver, a city surrounded by mountains. After confirming his baggage was aboard the train, Kuang settled down in his seat. Having a gift for communication, he started chatting with another passenger within five minutes. Their topics included the Canadian traditions, the weather, the travel experiences and the terrifying Great Fall. After a nice meal at noon, he was pleased to find that the scenery was impressive. He saw beautiful lakes in the distance, wealthy urban areas and maple forest. He even managed to catch sight of an eagle flying over bushes. Kuang reached Toronto, which lies near the border, at a misty dawn. Streets were very quiet. Though it was early, Kuang phoned his schoolmate at once, rather than waiting for him to come. They had a good time together.

25．细节理解题。根据第五段“To identify deserving receivers, Beast Philanthropy enlisted the support of MrBeast’s vast online community, encouraging individuals to submit videos detailing their need for an electric bike.(为了确定合适的接收者，Beast Philanthropy借助MrBeast庞大的在线社区，鼓励个人提交视频，详细说明他们对电动自行车的需求)”可知，接收者是通过在线社区提交视频的方式被选中的。故选C。

Lectric eBikes shares the same goal, so working with them on projects is an excellent match.(Beast Philanthropy的目标是帮助尽可能多的人。Lectric eBikes也有同样的目标，因此与他们合作非常契合)”可知，这次合作的成功主要归功于双方的共同目标。故选A。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了玻利维亚的乌尤尼盐沼表面拥有独特的六边形图案，研究发现该现象是由地下盐水对流引起的。
【解析】28．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Here, the remains of an ancient lake have created a salty crust that is packed with amazing honeycomb-like (蜂窝状的) shapes in the dry season — and turns into a massive mirror when wet.(在这里，一个古老湖泊的遗迹形成了一个盐crust，在旱季，它充满了令人惊叹的蜂窝状形状，在潮湿时变成了一面巨大的镜子)”可知，这个古老湖泊的遗址形成了一个盐壳，在旱季会布满令人惊叹的蜂窝状形状；潮湿时会变成一面巨大的镜子。由此可猜测，划线单词表示“地壳，硬表面”，与Surface意思接近。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段“The two landscapes appear otherworldly in photos, but they’re largely made up of something you’ll find on most dinner tables.(这两幅风景在照片中显得超凡脱俗，但它们主要是由你在大多数餐桌上都能找到的东西组成的)”可知，盐滩在照片中显得超凡脱俗，但它们的组成部分主要是大多数餐桌上都能找到的东西，由此可推知，Salar de Uyuni是由普通的盐构成的。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Its salty surface is often marked with a strange honeycomb pattern, which got scientists at a loss. (它的盐滩通常有一个奇怪的蜂窝状图案，这让科学家们感到困惑)”可知，令科学家们感到困惑的是，这个盐滩表面的特有的蜂窝状图案。故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The surface patterns reflect the slow overturning of salt water within the soil, a phenomenon somewhat like the convection (对流) cells that form in a thin layer of boiling water.(表面模式反映了土壤中盐水的缓慢翻转，这一现象有点像薄薄一层沸水中形成的对流细胞)”可推知，盐滩表面的蜂窝状图案是由盐水的翻转运动而形成的。故选A。
【答案】32．C 33．D 34．A 35．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了温暖的海水流入“末日冰川” (思韦茨冰川) 底部，加速了冰川融化，威胁全球海平面上升，对沿海城市构成了潜在的危机。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Thwaites Glacier is fearful because the shape of the seafloor beneath means once a certain boundary is broken through it will melt very fast.(思韦茨冰川是可怕的，因为海底的形状意味着一旦突破一定的边界，它就会很快融化)”可知，思韦茨冰川被认为是海平面上升的关键因素是因为它可能很快就会融化。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Water underneath the Thwaites where it currently sits upon the bottom of the ocean would expose the ice to much more heating, greatly speeding up the melt rate.(目前位于思韦茨海底的海水将使冰暴露在更大的温度下，大大加快融化速度)”可知，冰川下流动的水使冰川暴露在更高的温度下，大大加快融化速度。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段“Scientists have seen evidence in satellite imagery that the seawater is getting beneath the glacier daily and lifting it off the seabed, before the weight of the 1.2-kilometer thick glacier causes it to settle back down. The cycle repeats with the tides over the front 2-6 kilometers of the glacier, but when the Sun and the Moon are in a straight line to create extreme tidal conditions, they can reach up to six kilometers further. (科学家们在卫星图像中看到的证据表明，海水每天都在进入冰川下面，并将其从海床上提起来，然后1.2公里厚的冰川的重量使其重新沉降下来。这个循环在冰川前2-6公里处的潮汐上重复，但当太阳和月亮在一条直线上创造极端的潮汐条件时，它们可以再延伸6公里)”可知，当太阳和月亮在一条直线上时，海水会在冰川下面深入更远。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tidal (潮汐的) pressures have been observed pushing relatively warm water under the Thwaites Glacier, exposing a much larger area of ice to warming pressure.(已经观察到潮汐压力将相对温暖的水推到斯韦茨冰川下，使更大面积的冰暴露在变暖的压力下)”以及第二段“Rising temperatures are making the existing water in the ocean expand and melting (融化) glaciers.(不断上升的气温使海洋中现有的水膨胀，冰川融化)”可知，文章介绍了温暖的海水流入“末日冰川” (思韦茨冰川) 底部，加速了冰川融化，威胁全球海平面上升，对沿海城市构成了潜在的危机。因此，D选项“思韦茨冰川正在迅速融化”为短文主旨。故选D。
【答案】36．E 37．G 38．C 39．D 40．A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了设定目标的四个诀窍。
【解析】36．上文“Setting goals is easy but that is just the beginning. After taking the time to identify what your goals are, achieving them is a whole other ball game.(设定目标很容易，但这只是开始。在花时间确定你的目标之后，实现它们就完全是另一回事了)”说明设定目标容易，但是实现目标是困难的，E项“努力实现目标有时会很有挑战性”与上句话题一致，衔接顺畅。故选E。
37．上文“Make your goals specific.(明确你的目标)”以及“It’s important for both you and your employees to have clear and established aims.(对你和你的员工来说，有明确和既定的目标都很重要)”说明要明确自己的目标，这是很重要的，G项中的By doing so指代上文的做法，G项“通过这样做，你可以避免设定过于宽泛而无法付诸行动的目标”承接上文，符合题意。故选G。
38．上文“Once you have a specific goal, it’s important to be able to measure the success or completion of the goal. (一旦你有了一个具体的目标，能够衡量目标的成功或完成是很重要的)”说明要能够衡量目标的成功或者完成，以及下文“like using scales (刻度) or statistical figures.(比如使用刻度或统计数字)”举例说明具体的衡量办法，C项“这不一定是传统意义上的”承接上文，说明衡量目标不一定是传统意义上的衡量，并引出下文的例子，符合题意。故选C。
39．下文“However, the achievement of individual goals is only really beneficial in the workplace environment and will contribute to company success in some way.(然而，个人目标的实现只有在工作环境中才真正有益，并在某种程度上有助于公司的成功)”说明个人目标只有在工作环境中实现才算是真正有益，且句中However表示空处应与下文形成转折关系，D项中individual goal completion是关键词，D项“当然，个人目标的完成很重要”与下文为转折关系，符合题意。故选D。
40．下文“It’s not productive to set a deadline too far in the future for a simple task, or an unrealistically short deadline for something complex and time-consuming. This common trap may make employees very upset.(为一项简单的任务设定一个过于遥远的截止日期，或者为复杂而耗时的事情设定一个不切实际的短截止日期，都是没有成效的。这种常见的陷阱可能会让员工非常沮丧)”说明本段主要介绍的是目标的设定期限不要太久，也不要太短而不切实际。 A项“让你的目标有时间限制”与本段主旨一致，适合作为段落主旨句。故选A。

As I drove away, I couldn’t help but glance back at the house. There he was, standing at the window, waving with a small smile on his face. It was a moment that touched my heart, but I knew this experience would be valuable for both of us. During my trip, I called Max every evening. We talked about his day, the fun he was having with Dad and Grandma, and the new things he was learning. Each call seemed to ease his worries a little more, and by the third day, he sounded more confident and happier.
When I finally returned home, Max greeted me with the biggest hug ever. “Mom! You’re back!” he exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy. At that moment, I realized how much he had grown in just a few days. He had faced his fears and come out stronger. This experience taught Max an important lesson about resilience and independence. It showed him that even when things change, he can adapt and thrive. It also reminded me of the importance of developing these qualities in him and helping him become a strong and confident individual.

Best New Movies Streaming Online
Here, then, are some of the best movies streaming online.
Society of the Snow
The true story of the 1972 Uruguayan rugby team lost in the Andes following a plane crash has been the subject of multiple documentaries. For all that, this would seem to be the best of all of them, with director J. A．Bayona emphasizing both the physical dangers faced by the team and the spiritual sufferings of survival.
Orion and the Dark
Orion and the Dark, adapted from the book by Emma Yarlett, is a family-friendly film about how taking risks is the only way to overcome your fears. It tells the story of a boy with an active imagination who faces his fears on an unforgettable journey through the night with his new friend: a giant, smiling creature named Dark.
Damsel
The famous action lead, Millie Bobby Brown, is back in this dark fantasy from director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Brown plays Princess Elodie, who is forced into an arranged marriage by her family, only to discover that she’s marked as the sacrifice (祭品) to a dragon.
Anyone but You
Anyone but You was directed by Will Gluck with Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell starring a couple who meet, attract each other—and then immediately get tired of each other so that neither really wants to see each other again. Until, they need wedding dates and find themselves surrounded by scheming (狡诈的) friends. It’s not as crazy as a romantic comedy, but this one is brightly directed.
21．Which movie is related to an aircraft accident

C．Damsel. D．Anyone but You.
22．What is Emma Yarlett

In a cooperation between the popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, famously known as MrBeast, and the rapidly expanding electric bike company Lectric eBikes, a remarkable plan has unfolded, touching the lives of 600 individuals in need across America.
Lectric eBikes, recognized as one of the nation’s leading electric bike manufacturers, joined forces with Donaldson’s Beast Philanthropy, a nonprofit organization with a goal of making the world a better place. Together, they started a mission to provide life-changing electric bikes to those facing transport challenges.
With a shared vision of making a practical difference in people’s lives, the partnership saw Lectric eBikes generously donating $600,000 worth of electric bikes to Beast Philanthropy.
“E-bikes can make a significant positive impact on the lives of individuals, especially those who are struggling due to a lack of reliable transportation,” stated Levi Conlow, co-founder and CEO of Lectric eBikes.
To identify deserving receivers, Beast Philanthropy enlisted the support of MrBeast’s vast online community, encouraging individuals to submit videos detailing their need for an electric bike. After careful discussion,600 individuals were selected as receivers of the life-changing electric bikes.

A photographic playground of a salt flat can be found across southwest Bolivia. Here, the remains of an ancient lake have created a salty crust that is packed with amazing honeycomb-like (蜂窝状的) shapes in the dry season — and turns into a massive mirror when wet.
The world’s largest salt flat is transformed when overflowing lakes nearby flood its surface with a thin layer of water. Salar de Uyuni, as the salt flat is known, is completely level and stretches for about 10,582 square kilometers, making its reflective surface roughly the same size as the “Big Island” of Hawaii. From space, it can be observed as the larger of two neighboring salt flats — the second being Salar de Coipasa, which sits to the northwest. The two landscapes appear otherworldly in photos, but they’re largely made up of something you’ll find on most dinner tables.
Salar de Uyuni is a desert of rock salt — which is your common table salt — and gypsum, which is what some of the biggest crystals (晶体) on the planet are made of. Its salty surface is often marked with a strange honeycomb pattern, which got scientists at a loss. Why are the patterns so geometrically perfect
In 2023, a team of researchers finally worked it out. “In salt deserts, the first thing you see—almost the only thing you see — is an endless hexagon (a shape that has six straight sides) and other ordered shapes,” said study author Dr Lucas Goehring. “What we’ve shown is that a simple, seemingly reasonable explanation is there, but hidden beneath the ground. The surface patterns reflect the slow overturning of salt water within the soil, a phenomenon somewhat like the convection (对流) cells that form in a thin layer of boiling water.”
28．What does the underlined word “crust” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Surface. B．Ocean. C．Slice. D．Container.
29．What can we infer about Salar de Uyuni from Paragraph 2
A．It often floods nearby lakes. B．It’s made of ordinary matter.
C．It makes Hawaii famous. D．Its formation is a mystery.
30．What aspect of Salar de Uyuni made scientists puzzled
A．Its inner structure. B．Its composition.
C．Its huge size. D．Its unique patterns.
31．How are the honeycomb patterns of the Salar de Uyuni formed
A．Through the movement of salt water. B．By the disappearance of lake water.
C．By slowly boiling the surface water. D．Through the change of other ordered shapes.
Tidal (潮汐的) pressures have been observed pushing relatively warm water under the Thwaites Glacier, exposing a much larger area of ice to warming pressure.
Rising temperatures are making the existing water in the ocean expand and melting (融化) glaciers. All of these are certain to increase, and spell trouble for coastal cities worldwide. There is much more uncertainty, however, about the rate at which Antarctic ice will melt, potentially multiplying existing estimates for flooding threats. Despite the vastness of Antarctica, one glacier, the Thwaites, is considered key, earning the name the “Doomsday Glacier”. The Thwaites Glacier is fearful because the shape of the seafloor beneath means once a certain boundary is broken through it will melt very fast. Tides could mean we reach that sooner.
The Thwaites Glacier is 120 kilometers wide where it reaches the ocean and extends from West Antarctica into an offshore basin. The warming of air above and the water in front of the Thwaites are causing it to melt, but there are fears of something much worse. Water underneath the Thwaites where it currently sits upon the bottom of the ocean would expose the ice to much more heating, greatly speeding up the melt rate.
Scientists have seen evidence in satellite imagery that the seawater is getting beneath the glacier daily and lifting it off the seabed, before the weight of the 1.2-kilometer thick glacier causes it to settle back down. The cycle repeats with the tides over the front 2-6 kilometers of the glacier, but when the Sun and the Moon are in a straight line to create extreme tidal conditions, they can reach up to six kilometers further.
This causes brief accelerated (加速的) warming, but the shape of the basin means that when the glacier’s front sinks deeper into the basin the underside melting will become continuous. Two ridges (山脊) on the seabed are the planet’s last lines of defense against accelerated melting. The question for humanity is how long we have before both are broken through.
32．Why is Thwaites Glacier regarded as critical for sea level rise
A．It has a unique shape. B．It is likely to expand.
C．It might melt quickly. D．It’s sensitive to climate.
33．What speeds up the melting of the Thwaites Glacier
A．Solar radiation directly on the ice. B．Chemical reactions in the seawater.
C．Air temperatures above the glacier. D．The warm water beneath the glacier.
34．What will happen if the Sun and the Moon are in a straight line
A．Seawater will go further under the glacier.
B．The glacier will be lifted up quickly.
C．The glacier will be pushed back to the land.
D．Water level will rise and fall repeatedly.
35．What is mainly talked about in this text
A．The impact of tidal pressures. B．Rising temperatures and sea levels.
C．The uncertainty about Antarctic ice melt. D．The Thwaites Glacier’s rapid melting.
Tips to Setting Goals
Setting goals is easy but that is just the beginning. After taking the time to identify what your goals are, achieving them is a whole other ball game. 36 . Here are some effective goal-setting tips on how to achieve life goals to the best of your ability.
Make your goals specific. There’s no point in setting unclear goals that don’t achieve anything specific. Research found that in 90% of studies conducted, specific and challenging goals lead to higher performance than when people set easy goals, “do your best” goals, or no goals at all. It’s important for both you and your employees to have clear and established aims. 37 .
Make your goals measurable. Once you have a specific goal, it’s important to be able to measure the success or completion of the goal. 38 , like using scales (刻度) or statistical figures. It just has to be measurable in some sense, so that it is clear when you have reached or are close to reaching your goals.
Make your goals relevant. It is essential that any goals set for teams or individuals are relevant to company-wide aims. 39 . However, the achievement of individual goals is only really beneficial in the workplace environment and will contribute to company success in some way.
40 . It’s not productive to set a deadline too far in the future for a simple task, or an unrealistically short deadline for something complex and time-consuming. This common trap may make employees very upset.
A．Make your goals time-limited
B．Make your goals easy to achieve
C．This doesn’t have to be in the traditional sense
D．Of course, individual goal completion is important
E．Working to achieve your goals can be challenging at times
F．Make sure your staff know how their work contributes to the company
G．By doing so, you can avoid setting goals too broad to be put into action

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
It was a sunny morning when I packed my bags for a business trip. The house was filled with the usual hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘), but today there was a sense of excitement mixed with a bit of anxiety. This would be the first time I would be leaving my son, Max, behind for a few days. Max, five years old, was used to having me around. Little did he know, today was going to be a day of new experiences and emotions.
As I took out my suitcase, Max entered the room, his eyes wide with curiosity. “Mom, where are you going ” he asked, his voice carrying innocence and some concern. I smiled, “I’ve to go on a trip for work, Max. I’ll be back in a few days.”
Max’s eyes grew even wider, and I could see the look of shock on his face. He had never been apart from me for more than a day, and the concept of me being away was completely new to him. “But, Mom, who will take care of me ” he asked, his voice trembling (颤抖) slightly.
I hugged him tightly, saying, “Dad will be here with you, and Grandma is coming over to help. You’ll have so much fun with them, and I’ll call you every day,” I said, hoping to ease his worries. Max nodded slowly, but I could tell he was still unsure.
As the day went on, I noticed Max staying close to me, watching my every move. He helped me pack, and brought me items he thought I might need, like his favorite toy car and a drawing he made for me. His small gestures touched my heart, and I realized how much he cared.
When it was finally time for me to leave, Max stood by the door, his expression a mix of bravery and sadness. I hugged him one last time and whispered, “I’ll be back before you know it, Max. Be good and remember that I love you.” He nodded, with tears in his eyes.

29．推理判断题。根据第二段“The two landscapes appear otherworldly in photos, but they’re largely made up of something you’ll find on most dinner tables.(这两幅风景在照片中显得超凡脱俗，但它们主要是由你在大多数餐桌上都能找到的东西组成的)”可知，盐滩在照片中显得超凡脱俗，但它们的组成部分主要是大多数餐桌上都能找到的东西，由此可推知，Salar de Uyuni是由普通的盐构成的。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Its salty surface is often marked with a strange honeycomb pattern, which got scientists at a loss. (它的盐滩通常有一个奇怪的蜂窝状图案，这让科学家们感到困惑)”可知，令科学家们感到困惑的是，这个盐滩表面的特有的蜂窝状图案。故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The surface patterns reflect the slow overturning of salt water within the soil, a phenomenon somewhat like the convection (对流) cells that form in a thin layer of boiling water.(表面模式反映了土壤中盐水的缓慢翻转，这一现象有点像薄薄一层沸水中形成的对流细胞)”可推知，盐滩表面的蜂窝状图案是由盐水的翻转运动而形成的。故选A。
【答案】32．C 33．D 34．A 35．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了温暖的海水流入“末日冰川” (思韦茨冰川) 底部，加速了冰川融化，威胁全球海平面上升，对沿海城市构成了潜在的危机。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Thwaites Glacier is fearful because the shape of the seafloor beneath means once a certain boundary is broken through it will melt very fast.(思韦茨冰川是可怕的，因为海底的形状意味着一旦突破一定的边界，它就会很快融化)”可知，思韦茨冰川被认为是海平面上升的关键因素是因为它可能很快就会融化。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Water underneath the Thwaites where it currently sits upon the bottom of the ocean would expose the ice to much more heating, greatly speeding up the melt rate.(目前位于思韦茨海底的海水将使冰暴露在更大的温度下，大大加快融化速度)”可知，冰川下流动的水使冰川暴露在更高的温度下，大大加快融化速度。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段“Scientists have seen evidence in satellite imagery that the seawater is getting beneath the glacier daily and lifting it off the seabed, before the weight of the 1.2-kilometer thick glacier causes it to settle back down. The cycle repeats with the tides over the front 2-6 kilometers of the glacier, but when the Sun and the Moon are in a straight line to create extreme tidal conditions, they can reach up to six kilometers further. (科学家们在卫星图像中看到的证据表明，海水每天都在进入冰川下面，并将其从海床上提起来，然后1.2公里厚的冰川的重量使其重新沉降下来。这个循环在冰川前2-6公里处的潮汐上重复，但当太阳和月亮在一条直线上创造极端的潮汐条件时，它们可以再延伸6公里)”可知，当太阳和月亮在一条直线上时，海水会在冰川下面深入更远。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tidal (潮汐的) pressures have been observed pushing relatively warm water under the Thwaites Glacier, exposing a much larger area of ice to warming pressure.(已经观察到潮汐压力将相对温暖的水推到斯韦茨冰川下，使更大面积的冰暴露在变暖的压力下)”以及第二段“Rising temperatures are making the existing water in the ocean expand and melting (融化) glaciers.(不断上升的气温使海洋中现有的水膨胀，冰川融化)”可知，文章介绍了温暖的海水流入“末日冰川” (思韦茨冰川) 底部，加速了冰川融化，威胁全球海平面上升，对沿海城市构成了潜在的危机。因此，D选项“思韦茨冰川正在迅速融化”为短文主旨。故选D。
【答案】36．E 37．G 38．C 39．D 40．A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了设定目标的四个诀窍。
【解析】36．上文“Setting goals is easy but that is just the beginning. After taking the time to identify what your goals are, achieving them is a whole other ball game.(设定目标很容易，但这只是开始。在花时间确定你的目标之后，实现它们就完全是另一回事了)”说明设定目标容易，但是实现目标是困难的，E项“努力实现目标有时会很有挑战性”与上句话题一致，衔接顺畅。故选E。
37．上文“Make your goals specific.(明确你的目标)”以及“It’s important for both you and your employees to have clear and established aims.(对你和你的员工来说，有明确和既定的目标都很重要)”说明要明确自己的目标，这是很重要的，G项中的By doing so指代上文的做法，G项“通过这样做，你可以避免设定过于宽泛而无法付诸行动的目标”承接上文，符合题意。故选G。
38．上文“Once you have a specific goal, it’s important to be able to measure the success or completion of the goal. (一旦你有了一个具体的目标，能够衡量目标的成功或完成是很重要的)”说明要能够衡量目标的成功或者完成，以及下文“like using scales (刻度) or statistical figures.(比如使用刻度或统计数字)”举例说明具体的衡量办法，C项“这不一定是传统意义上的”承接上文，说明衡量目标不一定是传统意义上的衡量，并引出下文的例子，符合题意。故选C。
39．下文“However, the achievement of individual goals is only really beneficial in the workplace environment and will contribute to company success in some way.(然而，个人目标的实现只有在工作环境中才真正有益，并在某种程度上有助于公司的成功)”说明个人目标只有在工作环境中实现才算是真正有益，且句中However表示空处应与下文形成转折关系，D项中individual goal completion是关键词，D项“当然，个人目标的完成很重要”与下文为转折关系，符合题意。故选D。
40．下文“It’s not productive to set a deadline too far in the future for a simple task, or an unrealistically short deadline for something complex and time-consuming. This common trap may make employees very upset.(为一项简单的任务设定一个过于遥远的截止日期，或者为复杂而耗时的事情设定一个不切实际的短截止日期，都是没有成效的。这种常见的陷阱可能会让员工非常沮丧)”说明本段主要介绍的是目标的设定期限不要太久，也不要太短而不切实际。 A项“让你的目标有时间限制”与本段主旨一致，适合作为段落主旨句。故选A。

67．【答案】
As I drove away, I couldn’t help but glance back at the house. There he was, standing at the window, waving with a small smile on his face. It was a moment that touched my heart, but I knew this experience would be valuable for both of us. During my trip, I called Max every evening. We talked about his day, the fun he was having with Dad and Grandma, and the new things he was learning. Each call seemed to ease his worries a little more, and by the third day, he sounded more confident and happier.
When I finally returned home, Max greeted me with the biggest hug ever. “Mom! You’re back!” he exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy. At that moment, I realized how much he had grown in just a few days. He had faced his fears and come out stronger. This experience taught Max an important lesson about resilience and independence. It showed him that even when things change, he can adapt and thrive. It also reminded me of the importance of developing these qualities in him and helping him become a strong and confident individual.
