When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities.
In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.
Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die.
4．How did the author use to improve the soil
A．By adding rich soil. B．By covering it with bags.
C．By removing the weeds. D．By applying chemical fertilizer.
5．What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Exposing. B．Separating. C．Sheltering. D．Monitoring.
6．What is the purpose of paragraph 4
A．To explain the process of transplanting. B．To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks.
C．To stress the competition of different species. D．To state the formation of multi-species communities.
7．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Soul of Soil B．The Vitality of the Wild
C．The Art of Gardening D．The Whisper of Flowers
Overseeing the development of a literary culture, which is part of a critic’s job, is a process of fits and starts. Critics play a role in determining which books published today should be labeled “instant classics”, which books are best described as “little-known” and which books published in past decades or centuries deserve re-examination. Beginning in the early 20th century, reissues complicated those categories. Older books like “The Dud Avocado” and “Stoner” — and even “Moby-Dick” and “The Great Gatsby” — became more famous upon reprinting than they had been when originally published.
The canon (文学经典) itself is in a constant, ongoing process of being shaped by book lovers who are often in disagreement not only about what qualifies as literature but also about the purpose of reading literature. A reissue, more often than not published after the author is dead, rebalances the purpose of literature away from writer intent and more toward reader intent.
Early last year, the small magazine n+1 restated a longstanding policy: No dead people. Reading work from dead authors may be unavoidable, but as literary critics tasked with creating and shaping the conversation, writing about dead people was considered unacceptable — because it was unfair to expect that contemporary writers, already struggling to secure attention for their work, compete with dead writers. We need, n+1 argued, to “refocus the public’s attention on the under-read work of the living.”
It’s true that the literary world — perhaps egged on by editors, publishers and critics alike — frequently talks about reviving unjustly ignored voices from the depths of history, trying to ensure they are rescued from being forgotten. We don’t reissue the work of dead authors in order to do right by them, but because their work is a piece of history. We need to understand literature in its own right and as an expression of its own time and context, even if that context is horrifying or uninviting or problematic. Reading well — and writing good criticism — brings a sense of wonder to history, and despite the emotional influences that may sometimes inspire reissues, they uniquely connect us to the past, which will always be important.
8．What does the author indicate by mentioning the older books in paragraph 1
A．Reissues make sorting harder. B．Reissues never boost popularity.
C．New editions show more changes. D．Critics should recategorize reissues.
9．What can we say about a reissue from paragraph 2
A．It is made to a consistent standard. B．It causes disagreements among readers.
C．It breathes life into forgotten literary works. D．It shifts the literary focus toward readers’ needs.
10．What effect did n+1 expect from its policy
A．Inspiring living writers to learn from dead writers. B．Bridging the divide between critics and writers.
C．Making more living writers’ voices heard. D．Making critics less hard on living writers.
11．How does the author look at reissuing dead authors’ works
A．A way to correct past injustices against authors. B．A method to celebrate authors’ contributions.
C．A means to obtain insights into the history. D．A strategy to maintain literary traditions.
The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago.
Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ”
The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.
Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said.
12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How firebrick storage technology works. B．How firebricks are produced sustainably.
C．What thermal energy means scientifically. D．What thermal energy storage is used to do.
13．What advantages do firebrick have over battery
A．Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B．Firebrick can generate more electricity.
C．Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D．Firebrick is made of more advanced materials.
14．Why are the computer models adopted
A．To test the durability of firebricks. B．To cut the costs of firebricks.
C．To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D．To test energy storage capacity of firebricks.
15．What might be a suitable title for the text
A．The usage of firebricks can replace batteries.
B．Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible.
C．Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply.
D．An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy.
Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” 16 He believed true wisdom and personal growth couldn’t be achieved in an unexamined life.
The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one asks a series of open-ended questions to guide another toward insight and understanding. For example, imagine a teacher discussing moralities with students. The teacher may not explain what is “right” or “wrong”. 17 And follow up with questions like, “Why do we consider some actions fair and others unfair ” Through this questioning, students are led to think more critically and examine their own values and assumptions rather than just accepting the predetermined answers.
18 When you ask yourself, for instance, “Why do you believe this ” or “What evidence supports your thinking ”, you are encouraged to consider whether your beliefs are truly your own or influenced by external factors. This process of questioning leads to self-reflection, helping individuals better understand the underlying motivations behind their thoughts and actions.
Self-reflection is like hitting the pause button on life. 19 And it also looks closely at your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning. Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations. 20 It seems as if you’re living someone else’s script without ever writing your own.
A．It gives you a moment to step back.
B．You are barely aware of your own desires.
C．So they can follow a “right” or “fair” action.
D．You are always stuck in your own ceaseless work.
E．The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self-examination.
F．Instead, he or she might ask “What does it mean to act morally ”
G．This powerful declaration serves as a call to dig deeper into one’s own thoughts.

三、语法填空（本大题共1小题）
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。
Tong sui, which means “sugar water” in Cantonese, refers to Chinese sweet soups or desserts enjoyed in southern China. Overly 36 (sugar) as it may sound, tong sui is no syrup bog (沼泽) but a lightly sweetened soup celebrated 37 its nutrition — an extension of the traditional Chinese medicine belief that all food is medicinal and can help bring your body into better balance and health.
Tong sui is commonly a variety of complicated dishes 38 feature multiple ingredients as varied as papaya (木瓜) and bird’s nest (燕窝), but it is the sea coconut, in particular, that requires a mother’s love to make it to the table. First, few market stalls (摊位) sell fresh fruit, as it 39 (sour) quickly in the tropical heat, so keeping the fruit fresh has already been energy-consuming. Then, the fruit’s brown shell has to be painstakingly peeled off to reveal its glistening, milky white flesh.
40 (interesting), the sea coconut I’ve been talking about so far is not true sea coconut, and 41 every Asian restaurant menu and every canned fruit label claims is not true, either. It is actually the fruit of the toddy palm (糖棕树). The true sea coconut is 42 protected species, and its export is strictly controlled, with each fruit 43 (bear) a government-issued serial tag (序列标签). Once 44 (believe) to grow from a mythical (神话的) tree on the bottom of the sea, sea coconut shells were decorated with priceless gems (宝石) by European 45 (noble) in the 16th century.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was seven, my sister Lucy, who was four, and I were eager to be independent and earn some money to show our parents that we were capable beyond our years. The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each.
Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment.
Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry, instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next.
As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you was like to go to Disneyland this afternoon ” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文 。文章讲述作者四年前在波特兰买房后打理花园，面对贫瘠土壤，采用现代农业方法改良，最终对土壤有全新认知的过程。
【解析】4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.(以前，在那些小得多的花园里，我会用从苗圃买来的几袋优质土壤来改良土壤)”可知，作者过去是通过添加优质土壤来改善土壤的，也就是添加肥沃的土壤。故选A项。
5．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock(现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少土壤扰动和强调生物多样性。在实践中，轮流种植作物；优先使用有机肥料而非化肥；将农作物、树木以及家畜进行整合)”和划线词后面“…soil from being washed away with cover crops (用覆盖作物来……土壤被冲走)”可知，这里说的是一些现代农业的原则及实践方法，提到用覆盖作物来防止土壤被冲走，划线词在此处应是“保护、防护”的意思，与“Sheltering”意思相近。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.(五月的时候，我决定移栽一株开花植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生物都冒了出来。蚯蚓在根部扭动着，一只长脚蜘蛛匆匆寻找藏身之处。在这株植物的下方，我甚至还看到了真菌菌丝体那细密的白色网状结构)”可知，本段描述了作者在移栽开花植物时，看到了蚯蚓、长脚蜘蛛以及真菌菌丝体等各种各样的生物出现，展现了多种生物共存的情况，目的是说明形成了多物种的群落。故选D项。
7．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. (摆在我面前的挑战是重振土壤)”和最后一段“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right.(我用手指穿过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。它不仅仅是作为生命的媒介，而且本身就是一个有生命的实体)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者打理花园改造土壤的过程，通过实践对土壤有了新的认识，认为土壤不仅仅是生命的介质，它本身就是一个有生命的个体，强调了土壤的重要性及独特“生命力”，因此，A选项“土壤的灵魂”作为标题最为合适，能够概括文章的主旨。故选A项。
【答案】8．A 9．D 10．C 11．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了监督文学文化的发展。评论家们在决定今天出版的哪些书应该被贴上“即时经典”的标签，哪些书最适合被描述为“鲜为人知”，哪些书在过去几十年或几个世纪里出版，值得重新审视。
【解析】8．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Beginning in the early 20th century, reissues complicated those categories. Older books like “The Dud Avocado” and “Stoner” — and even “Moby-Dick” and “The Great Gatsby” — became more famous upon reprinting than they had been when originally published.(从20世纪初开始，重新发行使这些分类变得复杂。像《烂鳄梨》和《斯通纳》这样的老书，甚至《白鲸》和《了不起的盖茨比》，在重印后比最初出版时更出名。)”可知，作者提到老书在重新分类发行后更出名，是为了说明重新发行会加大分类难度。故选A项。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段中“A reissue, more often than not published after the author is dead, rebalances the purpose of literature away from writer intent and more toward reader intent.(重新发行往往是在作者死后才出版，它重新平衡了文学的目的，使其远离作者的意图，更倾向于读者的意图。)”可知，重新发行把文学的焦点转向了读者的需要。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Early last year, the small magazine n+1 restated a longstanding policy: No dead people.(去年年初，小型杂志《n+1》重申了一项长期政策：不接受死人。) ”和“We need, n+1 argued, to “refocus the public’s attention on the under-read work of the living.”(《n+1》认为，我们需要“把公众的注意力重新集中到那些被忽视的活着的人的作品上”。)”可知，《n+1》期望从其政策中让更多在世作家的声音被听到。故选C项。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We don’t reissue the work of dead authors in order to do right by them, but because their work is a piece of history.(我们重新发行已故作者的作品不是为了对他们做正确的事，而是因为他们的作品是一段历史。)”可知，作者认为重新发行已故作者的作品意味着获得对历史的洞察。故选C项。
【点睛】
A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.
【答案】12．A 13．A 14．C 15．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了古老火砖技术如何通过储存热能，帮助实现工业过程的可再生能源使用，从而助力全球净零排放目标的实现。

The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage.(这项技术涉及在隔热容器中安装吸热砖，这些砖可以储存由太阳能或风能产生的热量，以便在工业过程中后续使用。当需要时，可以通过在“耐火砖”堆中的通道通过空气来释放热量，从而使水泥、钢铁、玻璃和造纸厂能够在没有风和阳光的情况下依然依靠可再生能源运行。这些系统是热能存储的一种形式)”可知，本段详细说明了耐火砖储能技术是将吸热砖组装在隔热容器中，用来储存太阳能或风能产生的热量以便之后使用等内容，即这项技术的工作原理。故选A项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University.(“耐火砖存储与电池存储的区别在于，耐火砖储存的是热量而不是电力，并且其成本仅为电池的十分之一，”该研究的主要作者、斯坦福大学的教授马克·雅各布森说道)”可知，耐火砖储能与电池储能的差异在于耐火砖储存热量而非电力，且成本是电池的十分之一。故选A项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.(研究人员发现，使用耐火砖的场景可以在这149个国家中削减1.27万亿美元的成本，同时减少对电能的需求以及来自电池的储能容量需求)”可知，研究者用模型对比两种未来可再生能源场景，涉及耐火砖在其中的作用及优势，故推知，采用计算机模型是为了探索耐火砖的有效性。故选C项。
15．主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.(根据最近由斯坦福大学主导的研究，一种可以追溯到青铜时代的科技可能提供了一种快速且成本低廉的方法来帮助实现联合国2050年净零排放的气候目标)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种可追溯到青铜时代的耐火砖储能技术，该技术有助于实现联合国净零排放目标，即能够助力向清洁能源的转变。因此，选项D“一项古老的技术可以帮助转向清洁能源”作为标题最为合适。故选D项。
【答案】16．G 17．F 18．E 19．A 20．B
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章以苏格拉底的名言“未经审视的生活是不值得过的”为切入点，介绍了苏格拉底方法，并阐述了自我反思的重要性以及未经审视的生活的弊端。
【解析】16．上文“Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, ‘The unexamined life is not worth living.’(著名的古希腊哲学家苏格拉底有句名言：‘未经审视的生活是不值得过的’)”引出了苏格拉底的这句名言。G选项“This powerful declaration serves as a call to dig deeper into one’s own thoughts.(这句有力的宣言呼吁人们更深入地挖掘自己的思想)”对这句名言进行了进一步解读，说明其作用是引导人们深入思考自己的思想，与上文逻辑紧密。故选G项。
17．上文“The teacher may not explain what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.(老师可能不会解释什么是‘对’或‘错’)”表明老师不会直接给出对错的定义。F选项“Instead, he or she might ask ‘What does it mean to act morally ’(相反，他或她可能会问 ‘道德行事意味着什么 ’)”与上文形成转折，说明老师会通过提问的方式引导学生思考，符合苏格拉底方法中通过提问引导他人思考的特点，上下文衔接自然。故选F项。

20．上文“Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations.(过一种未经审视的生活就像在自动驾驶状态下滑行，人们只是简单地接受社会标准而不进行批判性评估。在这种生活中，你会被社会的期望所裹挟)”描述了未经审视的生活的状态。B选项“You are barely aware of your own desires.(你几乎意识不到自己的欲望)”进一步说明了在这种生活状态下的结果，即人们会忽略自己的欲望，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。

47．【答案】
On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” Lucy’s eyes widened in disbelief. Our excitement gave way to disappointment. “But Mom, you just promised!” I exclaimed, confusion clouding my thoughts. She looked at us seriously and explained, “I didn’t keep my promise either, and now you know how it hurts. You need to learn that actions have consequences. Disneyland can await, but learning to be responsible and trustworthy can’t.” Mom’s words hit us hard, the white lie making us realize the gravity of our mistake. Instead of moving to Disneyland, we had to go back to confront our responsibilities and make things right．
We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. When she opened it, we saw a hint of surprise in her eyes. We quickly apologized for not keeping our promise and for letting her down. Mrs. White smiled warmly and forgave us, saying that she understood how easily children could forget. Together, we worked hard to remove the weeds. Mom taught us a true lesson which would stay with us forever. It was a lesson about the importance of keeping our word and the impact our action could have on others. That day, we not only weeded Mrs. White’s garden but also planted the seeds of responsibility and integrity within ourselves．

When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities.
In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.
Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die.
4．How did the author use to improve the soil
A．By adding rich soil. B．By covering it with bags.
C．By removing the weeds. D．By applying chemical fertilizer.
5．What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Exposing. B．Separating. C．Sheltering. D．Monitoring.
6．What is the purpose of paragraph 4
A．To explain the process of transplanting. B．To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks.
C．To stress the competition of different species. D．To state the formation of multi-species communities.
7．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Soul of Soil B．The Vitality of the Wild
C．The Art of Gardening D．The Whisper of Flowers
Overseeing the development of a literary culture, which is part of a critic’s job, is a process of fits and starts. Critics play a role in determining which books published today should be labeled “instant classics”, which books are best described as “little-known” and which books published in past decades or centuries deserve re-examination. Beginning in the early 20th century, reissues complicated those categories. Older books like “The Dud Avocado” and “Stoner” — and even “Moby-Dick” and “The Great Gatsby” — became more famous upon reprinting than they had been when originally published.
The canon (文学经典) itself is in a constant, ongoing process of being shaped by book lovers who are often in disagreement not only about what qualifies as literature but also about the purpose of reading literature. A reissue, more often than not published after the author is dead, rebalances the purpose of literature away from writer intent and more toward reader intent.
Early last year, the small magazine n+1 restated a longstanding policy: No dead people. Reading work from dead authors may be unavoidable, but as literary critics tasked with creating and shaping the conversation, writing about dead people was considered unacceptable — because it was unfair to expect that contemporary writers, already struggling to secure attention for their work, compete with dead writers. We need, n+1 argued, to “refocus the public’s attention on the under-read work of the living.”
It’s true that the literary world — perhaps egged on by editors, publishers and critics alike — frequently talks about reviving unjustly ignored voices from the depths of history, trying to ensure they are rescued from being forgotten. We don’t reissue the work of dead authors in order to do right by them, but because their work is a piece of history. We need to understand literature in its own right and as an expression of its own time and context, even if that context is horrifying or uninviting or problematic. Reading well — and writing good criticism — brings a sense of wonder to history, and despite the emotional influences that may sometimes inspire reissues, they uniquely connect us to the past, which will always be important.
8．What does the author indicate by mentioning the older books in paragraph 1
A．Reissues make sorting harder. B．Reissues never boost popularity.
C．New editions show more changes. D．Critics should recategorize reissues.
9．What can we say about a reissue from paragraph 2
A．It is made to a consistent standard. B．It causes disagreements among readers.
C．It breathes life into forgotten literary works. D．It shifts the literary focus toward readers’ needs.
10．What effect did n+1 expect from its policy
A．Inspiring living writers to learn from dead writers. B．Bridging the divide between critics and writers.
C．Making more living writers’ voices heard. D．Making critics less hard on living writers.
11．How does the author look at reissuing dead authors’ works
A．A way to correct past injustices against authors. B．A method to celebrate authors’ contributions.
C．A means to obtain insights into the history. D．A strategy to maintain literary traditions.
The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago.
Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ”
The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.
Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said.
12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How firebrick storage technology works. B．How firebricks are produced sustainably.
C．What thermal energy means scientifically. D．What thermal energy storage is used to do.
13．What advantages do firebrick have over battery
A．Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B．Firebrick can generate more electricity.
C．Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D．Firebrick is made of more advanced materials.
14．Why are the computer models adopted
A．To test the durability of firebricks. B．To cut the costs of firebricks.
C．To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D．To test energy storage capacity of firebricks.
15．What might be a suitable title for the text
A．The usage of firebricks can replace batteries.
B．Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible.
C．Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply.
D．An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy.
Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” 16 He believed true wisdom and personal growth couldn’t be achieved in an unexamined life.
The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one asks a series of open-ended questions to guide another toward insight and understanding. For example, imagine a teacher discussing moralities with students. The teacher may not explain what is “right” or “wrong”. 17 And follow up with questions like, “Why do we consider some actions fair and others unfair ” Through this questioning, students are led to think more critically and examine their own values and assumptions rather than just accepting the predetermined answers.
18 When you ask yourself, for instance, “Why do you believe this ” or “What evidence supports your thinking ”, you are encouraged to consider whether your beliefs are truly your own or influenced by external factors. This process of questioning leads to self-reflection, helping individuals better understand the underlying motivations behind their thoughts and actions.
Self-reflection is like hitting the pause button on life. 19 And it also looks closely at your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning. Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations. 20 It seems as if you’re living someone else’s script without ever writing your own.
A．It gives you a moment to step back.
B．You are barely aware of your own desires.
C．So they can follow a “right” or “fair” action.
D．You are always stuck in your own ceaseless work.
E．The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self-examination.
F．Instead, he or she might ask “What does it mean to act morally ”
G．This powerful declaration serves as a call to dig deeper into one’s own thoughts.

Tong sui, which means “sugar water” in Cantonese, refers to Chinese sweet soups or desserts enjoyed in southern China. Overly 36 (sugar) as it may sound, tong sui is no syrup bog (沼泽) but a lightly sweetened soup celebrated 37 its nutrition — an extension of the traditional Chinese medicine belief that all food is medicinal and can help bring your body into better balance and health.
Tong sui is commonly a variety of complicated dishes 38 feature multiple ingredients as varied as papaya (木瓜) and bird’s nest (燕窝), but it is the sea coconut, in particular, that requires a mother’s love to make it to the table. First, few market stalls (摊位) sell fresh fruit, as it 39 (sour) quickly in the tropical heat, so keeping the fruit fresh has already been energy-consuming. Then, the fruit’s brown shell has to be painstakingly peeled off to reveal its glistening, milky white flesh.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was seven, my sister Lucy, who was four, and I were eager to be independent and earn some money to show our parents that we were capable beyond our years. The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each.
Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment.
Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry, instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next.
As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you was like to go to Disneyland this afternoon ” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy.

参考答案
【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C
【分析】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了《Mother Earth News》杂志的内容定位、会员权益及退订政策等信息。
【解析】1．细节理解题。根据文章中提到的“Launched in 1970, each bimonthly issue of the magazine features practical and money-saving information on cutting energy costs; using renewable energy; organic gardening; green home building and remodeling; fun do-it-yourself projects and self-sufficient lifestyles.(该杂志于1970年创刊，每期双月刊以实用和省钱的资讯为特色，探讨如何削减能源成本；使用可再生能源；有机园艺;绿色住宅建设与改造；有趣的自己动手的项目和自给自足的生活方式)”可推知，杂志主要涉及自给自足和环保意识相关的内容。选项B符合这些主题。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据文章中“No limitation to online content — members get to view the new articles and project ideas before non-members can(对在线内容没有限制-会员可以在非会员之前查看新文章和项目创意)”可推知，会员福利之一就是比非会员更早获得最新的文章。故选D。
3．细节理解题。根据文章中“Membership price: Print Membership: $38 per year(会员价格：印刷版会员每年38美元)并且在退款保证中说明“We will issue you a full refund on all unmailed issues (printed version only).(我们将对所有未邮寄的期刊进行全额退款)”可知，如果在半年的时候取消订阅未邮寄的月份，则为19美元。故选C。
【答案】4．A 5．C 6．D 7．A
【分析】这是一篇记叙文 。文章讲述作者四年前在波特兰买房后打理花园，面对贫瘠土壤，采用现代农业方法改良，最终对土壤有全新认知的过程。
【解析】4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.(以前，在那些小得多的花园里，我会用从苗圃买来的几袋优质土壤来改良土壤)”可知，作者过去是通过添加优质土壤来改善土壤的，也就是添加肥沃的土壤。故选A项。
5．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock(现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少土壤扰动和强调生物多样性。在实践中，轮流种植作物；优先使用有机肥料而非化肥；将农作物、树木以及家畜进行整合)”和划线词后面“…soil from being washed away with cover crops (用覆盖作物来……土壤被冲走)”可知，这里说的是一些现代农业的原则及实践方法，提到用覆盖作物来防止土壤被冲走，划线词在此处应是“保护、防护”的意思，与“Sheltering”意思相近。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.(五月的时候，我决定移栽一株开花植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生物都冒了出来。蚯蚓在根部扭动着，一只长脚蜘蛛匆匆寻找藏身之处。在这株植物的下方，我甚至还看到了真菌菌丝体那细密的白色网状结构)”可知，本段描述了作者在移栽开花植物时，看到了蚯蚓、长脚蜘蛛以及真菌菌丝体等各种各样的生物出现，展现了多种生物共存的情况，目的是说明形成了多物种的群落。故选D项。
7．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. (摆在我面前的挑战是重振土壤)”和最后一段“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right.(我用手指穿过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。它不仅仅是作为生命的媒介，而且本身就是一个有生命的实体)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者打理花园改造土壤的过程，通过实践对土壤有了新的认识，认为土壤不仅仅是生命的介质，它本身就是一个有生命的个体，强调了土壤的重要性及独特“生命力”，因此，A选项“土壤的灵魂”作为标题最为合适，能够概括文章的主旨。故选A项。
【答案】8．A 9．D 10．C 11．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了监督文学文化的发展。评论家们在决定今天出版的哪些书应该被贴上“即时经典”的标签，哪些书最适合被描述为“鲜为人知”，哪些书在过去几十年或几个世纪里出版，值得重新审视。
【解析】8．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Beginning in the early 20th century, reissues complicated those categories. Older books like “The Dud Avocado” and “Stoner” — and even “Moby-Dick” and “The Great Gatsby” — became more famous upon reprinting than they had been when originally published.(从20世纪初开始，重新发行使这些分类变得复杂。像《烂鳄梨》和《斯通纳》这样的老书，甚至《白鲸》和《了不起的盖茨比》，在重印后比最初出版时更出名。)”可知，作者提到老书在重新分类发行后更出名，是为了说明重新发行会加大分类难度。故选A项。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段中“A reissue, more often than not published after the author is dead, rebalances the purpose of literature away from writer intent and more toward reader intent.(重新发行往往是在作者死后才出版，它重新平衡了文学的目的，使其远离作者的意图，更倾向于读者的意图。)”可知，重新发行把文学的焦点转向了读者的需要。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Early last year, the small magazine n+1 restated a longstanding policy: No dead people.(去年年初，小型杂志《n+1》重申了一项长期政策：不接受死人。) ”和“We need, n+1 argued, to “refocus the public’s attention on the under-read work of the living.”(《n+1》认为，我们需要“把公众的注意力重新集中到那些被忽视的活着的人的作品上”。)”可知，《n+1》期望从其政策中让更多在世作家的声音被听到。故选C项。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We don’t reissue the work of dead authors in order to do right by them, but because their work is a piece of history.(我们重新发行已故作者的作品不是为了对他们做正确的事，而是因为他们的作品是一段历史。)”可知，作者认为重新发行已故作者的作品意味着获得对历史的洞察。故选C项。

【答案】12．A 13．A 14．C 15．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了古老火砖技术如何通过储存热能，帮助实现工业过程的可再生能源使用，从而助力全球净零排放目标的实现。
【解析】12．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage.(这项技术涉及在隔热容器中安装吸热砖，这些砖可以储存由太阳能或风能产生的热量，以便在工业过程中后续使用。当需要时，可以通过在“耐火砖”堆中的通道通过空气来释放热量，从而使水泥、钢铁、玻璃和造纸厂能够在没有风和阳光的情况下依然依靠可再生能源运行。这些系统是热能存储的一种形式)”可知，本段详细说明了耐火砖储能技术是将吸热砖组装在隔热容器中，用来储存太阳能或风能产生的热量以便之后使用等内容，即这项技术的工作原理。故选A项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University.(“耐火砖存储与电池存储的区别在于，耐火砖储存的是热量而不是电力，并且其成本仅为电池的十分之一，”该研究的主要作者、斯坦福大学的教授马克·雅各布森说道)”可知，耐火砖储能与电池储能的差异在于耐火砖储存热量而非电力，且成本是电池的十分之一。故选A项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.(研究人员发现，使用耐火砖的场景可以在这149个国家中削减1.27万亿美元的成本，同时减少对电能的需求以及来自电池的储能容量需求)”可知，研究者用模型对比两种未来可再生能源场景，涉及耐火砖在其中的作用及优势，故推知，采用计算机模型是为了探索耐火砖的有效性。故选C项。
15．主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.(根据最近由斯坦福大学主导的研究，一种可以追溯到青铜时代的科技可能提供了一种快速且成本低廉的方法来帮助实现联合国2050年净零排放的气候目标)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种可追溯到青铜时代的耐火砖储能技术，该技术有助于实现联合国净零排放目标，即能够助力向清洁能源的转变。因此，选项D“一项古老的技术可以帮助转向清洁能源”作为标题最为合适。故选D项。

【解析】16．上文“Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, ‘The unexamined life is not worth living.’(著名的古希腊哲学家苏格拉底有句名言：‘未经审视的生活是不值得过的’)”引出了苏格拉底的这句名言。G选项“This powerful declaration serves as a call to dig deeper into one’s own thoughts.(这句有力的宣言呼吁人们更深入地挖掘自己的思想)”对这句名言进行了进一步解读，说明其作用是引导人们深入思考自己的思想，与上文逻辑紧密。故选G项。
17．上文“The teacher may not explain what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.(老师可能不会解释什么是‘对’或‘错’)”表明老师不会直接给出对错的定义。F选项“Instead, he or she might ask ‘What does it mean to act morally ’(相反，他或她可能会问 ‘道德行事意味着什么 ’)”与上文形成转折，说明老师会通过提问的方式引导学生思考，符合苏格拉底方法中通过提问引导他人思考的特点，上下文衔接自然。故选F项。
18．下文“When you ask yourself, for instance, ‘Why do you believe this ’ or ‘What evidence supports your thinking ’(例如，当你问自己‘你为什么相信这个 ’或‘有什么证据支持你的想法 ’)”具体说明了自我审视时的提问方式。E选项“The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self-examination.(苏格拉底方法是一种强大的自我审视工具)”起到了承上启下的作用，既承接上文对苏格拉底方法的介绍，又引出下文关于自我审视的具体内容。故选E项。
19．上文“Self-reflection is like hitting the pause button on life.(自我反思就像按下生活的暂停键)”将自我反思比喻为暂停键。A选项“It gives you a moment to step back.(它给你一个退后一步思考的时刻)”进一步解释了按下暂停键的意义，即让人有时间退后一步思考，与上文逻辑一致。故选A项。
20．上文“Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations.(过一种未经审视的生活就像在自动驾驶状态下滑行，人们只是简单地接受社会标准而不进行批判性评估。在这种生活中，你会被社会的期望所裹挟)”描述了未经审视的生活的状态。B选项“You are barely aware of your own desires.(你几乎意识不到自己的欲望)”进一步说明了在这种生活状态下的结果，即人们会忽略自己的欲望，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
【答案】
21．C 22．B 23．D 24．A 25．C 26．A 27．B 28．D 29．C 30．A 31．B 32．C 33．A 34．D 35．B

【解析】36．考查形容词。句意：尽管听起来可能含糖量过高，但糖水并非糖浆沼泽，而是一种甜度适中的汤品，因其营养而备受赞誉。as引导让步状语从句时，结构为“形容词/副词/名词+as+主语+谓语”，提示词作表语，表明主语it(即“糖水”)的性质，用形容词sugary作表语，意为“含糖的；甜的”。故填sugary。
37．考查介词。句意：尽管听起来可能含糖量过高，但糖水并非糖浆沼泽，而是一种甜度适中的汤品，因其营养而备受赞誉。(be) celebrated for是固定短语，意为“因……而闻名/备受赞誉”。故填for。
38．考查定语从句。句意：糖水通常是各种复杂的菜肴，以木瓜和燕窝等多种食材为特色，但尤其是海椰子，需要母亲般的关爱才能端上餐桌。“ 36 feature multiple ingredients as varied as papaya and bird’s nest”是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词dishes，指物，关系词将其代入从句中作主语，用关系代词that或which引导从句。故填that/which。
39．考查动词时态。句意：首先，很少有市场摊位出售新鲜水果，因为它在热带高温下很快就会变酸。动词sour(变酸)作从句谓语，根据语境可知，这里描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数代词，谓语动词用单数形式。故填sours。

42．考查冠词。句意：真正的海椰子是一种受保护的物种，其出口受到严格控制，每个果实都带有政府颁发的序列标签。可数名词species表示“一种物种”，泛指，且protected是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
43．考查非谓语动词。句意：真正的海椰子是一种受保护的物种，其出口受到严格控制，每个果实都带有政府颁发的序列标签。提示词作with复合结构中宾语补足语，bear(带有)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语each fruit之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动。故填bearing。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：曾经人们认为海椰子生长在海底的一棵神话般的树上，16世纪时，欧洲贵族用无价的宝石装饰海椰子壳。“Once (believe) to grow from a mythical (神话的) tree on the bottom of the sea”作原因状语，believe(认为)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语sea coconut shells之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填believed。
45．考查名词。句意：曾经人们认为海椰子生长在海底的一棵神话般的树上，16世纪时，欧洲贵族用无价的宝石装饰海椰子壳。提示词作宾语，根据语境可知，这里指欧洲的“贵族们”，用可数名词noble(贵族)的复数形式。故填nobles。

47．【答案】
On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” Lucy’s eyes widened in disbelief. Our excitement gave way to disappointment. “But Mom, you just promised!” I exclaimed, confusion clouding my thoughts. She looked at us seriously and explained, “I didn’t keep my promise either, and now you know how it hurts. You need to learn that actions have consequences. Disneyland can await, but learning to be responsible and trustworthy can’t.” Mom’s words hit us hard, the white lie making us realize the gravity of our mistake. Instead of moving to Disneyland, we had to go back to confront our responsibilities and make things right．
We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. When she opened it, we saw a hint of surprise in her eyes. We quickly apologized for not keeping our promise and for letting her down. Mrs. White smiled warmly and forgave us, saying that she understood how easily children could forget. Together, we worked hard to remove the weeds. Mom taught us a true lesson which would stay with us forever. It was a lesson about the importance of keeping our word and the impact our action could have on others. That day, we not only weeded Mrs. White’s garden but also planted the seeds of responsibility and integrity within ourselves．
