【答案】17．B 18．A 19．C 20．C
【原文】M: Good morning, everyone. As you know, I’ve come to talk to you about the company’s new plan to encourage employees to come to work by bike instead of taking a car. First of all, let’s look at the benefits for employees. One of the benefits is financial. Obviously it costs a lot to buy and run a car, but bicycles are much cheaper. Cyclists don’t have to pay road tax or insurance, and the cost of buying and repairing a bike is much lower than that of a car. So you’d save a lot of money by cycling. And for most employees, cycling will also reduce the amount of time to get to and from work. Certainly over the past ten or twenty years, traffic jams in the city have been getting more frequent and worse, and now it’s common for cyclists to overtake a line of cars that are stuck in traffic. The health benefits of the plan are probably well-known, but I’ll just run through them. Studies have shown that cycling four miles a day lowers the risk of heart disease, and people who cycle regularly will have a fitness level of being 10 years younger than those who don’t. Another health benefit is that cycling can reduce stress, so it helps you to arrive at work or at home feeling good.
第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four Must-see Night Sky Events in 2025
In the upcoming year, stargazers can anticipate a range of heavenly wonders to get excited for.
Saturn and Venus joint
On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset. Venus, the brighter, will shine a brilliant red, with Saturn next to it appearing more golden. Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view.
Lunar eclipse (月食) and blood moon
During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.
Partial solar eclipse
The sky shifting from deep blue at the top, to burning reds on the horizon, the solar eclipse coming March 29, 2025, will have the sun appear as a new moon. Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon.
Moon and Mercury meet up
Mercury is tricky to spot because of its closeness to the sun. On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades. Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye.
21．Which event takes the longest time
A．Saturn and Venus joint. B．Lunar eclipse and blood moon.
C．Partial solar eclipse. D．Moon and Mercury meet up.
22．Which country best suits blood moon observation
A．China. B．Canada. C．Russia. D．Portugal.
23．What do the four events have in common
A．They can be viewed with naked eyes. B．They fall in the same month.
C．They all emerge for the first time. D．They have red lights involved.
【答案】21．C 22．B 23．A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年即将发生的四个必看夜空事件，详细描述了每个事件的时间、地点、可见区域以及观测建议，旨在向天文爱好者提供有关即将发生的天文现象的信息。
21．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，关于选项A“Saturn and Venus joint”，文章提及“On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset.(1月18日，金星和土星这两个相邻的星球将在日落后约30至45分钟出现在天空中，彼此相距不到半度。)”，并未提及持续时间；关于选项B“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”，文章提及“During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m.(在月食期间（比如2022年在葡萄牙观测到的那次月食），3月14日凌晨时分，光线会在月球表面投射出炽热的光辉，月食从凌晨2点26分持续到3点31分。)”可知，持续时间为一小时5分钟；关于选项C“Partial solar eclipse”，文章提及“Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon.(北美、欧洲和亚洲的大部分地区都可以观测到这一现象，日偏食于凌晨4点50分开始。到凌晨6点47分，太阳的大部分将被月球遮挡。)”可知，日偏食从凌晨4点50分开始，到6点47分太阳大部分被月球遮挡，且这只是其中一个阶段，整个日偏食持续时间肯定大于小时57分钟；关于选项D“Moon and Mercury meet up”，文章提及“On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades.(6月26日，这颗行星会更容易被看到，因为在暮色消退前约20至30分钟，它会出现在月球旁边。)”可知，暮色消退前约20至30分钟能看到水星出现在月球旁边，其持续时间较短。因此，持续时间最长的是Partial solar eclipse。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据文章“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”部分中的“Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.(如果天气允许，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以一睹“血月”的壮丽景象。)”可知，在天气允许的情况下，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以很好地观赏到“血月”，而所给选项中，只有加拿大属于美洲国家，因此加拿大是最适合观测血月的国家。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据文章“Saturn and Venus joint”部分中的“Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view.(虽然你可以用肉眼看到这两颗星，但使用双筒望远镜会让观测效果更佳。)”；“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”部分中的“Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.(如果天气允许，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以一睹“血月”的壮丽景象。)”、“Partial solar eclipse”为日食，肉眼在一定阶段也可观测到太阳的变化，且文中未强调必须借助工具；“Moon and Mercury meet up”部分中的“Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye (肉眼看去，水星会闪耀着微弱的红色光芒。)”可知，这四个事件的共同之处是都可以用肉眼观测。故选A。
B

The dogs’ names are Mars, Moon and Pluto, and you might say their cancer-sniffing (嗅) skills are out of this world. An experimental screening method that paired the dogs with AI was able to detect the odor (气味) of cancer carried on patients’ breaths. The dog-AI combination was highly accurate and sensitive, successfully spotting four types of cancer in 94 percent of cases, scientists reported recently in Scientific Reports.
What’s more, the screening worked just as well detecting early-stage cancers as it did later-stage cancers, says Assaf Rabinowicz, chief technology officer at SpotitEarly, the company that developed the method. He emphasizes that early detection is crucial in that it ensures more favorable clinical outcomes for patients, thus lengthening their life.
The new screening method taps dogs’ “amazing olfactory capabilities,” Rabinowicz says. Dogs and other animals can act like disease detectives, sniffing out the weak smells that serve as cancer’s odor fingerprint.
For this study, Rabinowicz’s team trained Labradors to smell breath samples and sit if they sniffed breast, lung, colorectal or prostate cancer. Figuring out whether the dogs are indicating yes or no sounds simple, but consistently reading their body language can be tricky for humans. That’s where AI comes in. The researchers trained an Al model that relies on machine learning and computer vision to translate the dogs’ cues.
The team partnered with medical centers to test their system on breath samples from nearly 1,400participants,261 of whom had tested positive for one of the four cancer types the dogs trained on. With the help of AI, the dog detectors picked out 245 of these cases. And they rarely called a negative sample “positive” — just 60out of 1,048 cases.
SpotitEarly is planning a larger clinical trial in the United States and is aiming to report early results in 2026.The company is now working with another type of dog — Beagles — for the cancer-detecting work, partly because they’re smaller and easier to train. But Mars, Moon, Pluto and the other Labradors who worked in the study are still top dogs to the researchers, and continue to contribute to research and development, Rabinowicz says.
28．What is the key to the new cancer-detecting method
A．Getting as many odor samples as possible.
B．Using advanced technology to analyze the odors.
C．Exposing dogs to early-stage cancer patients.
D．Combining dogs’ sense of smell with advanced technology.
29．Why is early cancer detection so important
A．It can reduce the cost of cancer treatment.
B．It can improve the survival chances of cancer patients.
C．It can facilitate more investment into cancer research.
D．It can help hospitals to prioritize high-risk patients.
30．What role does AI play in the process
A．An interpreter. B．An inspector. C．A trainer. D．A doctor.
31．What do the figures in paragraph 5 show
A．The necessity of further clinical trials.
B．The need for improvement in false positives.
C．The effectiveness of the cancer screening method.
D．The distribution of different types of cancer detected.
【答案】28．D 29．B 30．A 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了狗与人工智能结合的癌症检测方法及其优势和进展。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“An experimental screening method that paired the dogs with AI was able to detect the odor (气味) of cancer carried on patients’ breaths. The dog-AI combination was highly accurate and sensitive, successfully spotting four types of cancer in 94 percent of cases, scientists reported recently in Scientific Reports.(一种将狗狗与人工智能相结合的实验性筛查方法能够检测到患者呼吸中携带的癌症气味。科学家近日在《科学报告》中称，这种狗狗-人工智能组合方式精准度和灵敏度极高，在 94% 的病例中成功识别出了四种癌症)” 以及第三段“The new screening method taps dogs’ “amazing olfactory capabilities,” Rabinowicz says.(拉比诺维茨说，新的筛查方法利用了狗 “惊人的嗅觉能力”)”可知，新的癌症检测方法的关键是将狗的嗅觉与先进技术（人工智能）相结合。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“He emphasizes that early detection is crucial in that it ensures more favorable clinical outcomes for patients, thus lengthening their life.(他强调，早期检测至关重要，因为它能确保患者获得更有利的临床结果，从而延长他们的生命)”可知，早期癌症检测很重要是因为它可以提高癌症患者的生存几率。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Figuring out whether the dogs are indicating yes or no sounds simple, but consistently reading their body language can be tricky for humans. That’s where AI comes in. The researchers trained an Al model that relies on machine learning and computer vision to translate the dogs’ cues.(判断狗是表示肯定还是否定听起来很简单，但持续解读它们的肢体语言对人类来说可能很棘手。这就是人工智能发挥作用的地方。研究人员训练了一种人工智能模型，该模型依靠机器学习和计算机视觉来解读狗的暗示)”可推知，人工智能在这个过程中扮演的角色是一个 “翻译者”，将狗的暗示进行解读。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据第五段“With the help of AI, the dog detectors picked out 245 of these cases. And they rarely called a negative sample “positive” — just 60out of 1,048 cases.(在人工智能的帮助下，狗探测器在这些病例中找出了245例。而且它们很少将阴性样本判定为“阳性”——在1048 个病例中只有60例)”可知，这些数字表明了这种癌症筛查方法能够准确地检测出癌症病例且很少出现误判，说明了这种癌症筛查方法的有效性。故选C。
D
One out of every three people globally lacks access to clean water, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions in the water sector. With the decline in the quality of freshwater resources and the increase in global population, ensuring a reliable supply of clean water has become crucial.

34．细节理解题。根据第四段“In terms of water conservation, AI-powered smart meters can identify leaks and pipe bursts in residential areas, reducing wastage and improving system efficiency. Governments and water corporations are using software analytics to manage and analyze sensor data, enabling better management of water systems and reducing unknown water.(在节水方面，人工智能智能水表可以识别住宅区的泄漏和管道爆裂，减少浪费，提高系统效率。政府和水务公司正在使用软件分析来管理和分析传感器数据，从而更好地管理供水系统，减少未知的水)”可知，人工智能通过安装人工智能电表来帮助管理供水系统，帮助提供可维护的清洁水。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As AI continues to advance, the possibilities for its application in the water sector are immense.(随着人工智能的不断发展，其在水务领域应用的可能性是巨大的)”以及“Moreover, as adoption increases and costs decrease, AI systems become more efficient, creating a positive feedback loop that helps preserve our planet’s most precious resource — water. The time to harness AI’s potential in the water sector is now.(此外，随着采用率的提高和成本的降低，人工智能系统变得更加高效，创造了一个积极的反馈循环，有助于保护我们星球上最宝贵的资源——水。现在是时候利用人工智能在水务领域的潜力了)”可知，人工智能在水务领域应用很有前景。故选A。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Sarah, a high school student in the small town of Greenfield, was always alone at home. Her parents were always busy at work, even in the evenings. She had to do most of the housework by herself, including taking care of their garden. However, she knew little about gardening, so their garden never seemed attractive. One quiet evening, Sarah was left at home alone again. She was sitting by the window, doing her homework. As she looked outside, she noticed a man standing under the streetlamp across the road. He was tall, wearing a dark coat, and seemed to be looking directly at her house. Sarah’s heart skipped a beat.
For days, Sarah had seen the man walk around the neighborhood. He never spoke to anyone, and he always seemed to be alone. She had mentioned him to her parents, who said he was new to this town and was a gardener. However, Sarah couldn’t shake the feeling of fear.
That evening, as the man lingered (逗留) under the streetlamp, Sarah decided to call Mrs. Baker, who lived just a few houses away. Mrs. Baker was a kind elderly woman who had always been like a grandmother to Sarah. “Mrs. Baker, there’s a man outside, and he’s been standing there for a while. I’m scared,” Sarah whispered into the phone. Mrs. Baker tried to calm Sarah down and said, “Don’t worry, dear. I’ll come over soon.”
A few minutes later, Mrs. Baker arrived at Sarah’s door. Together, they went to the window and peered (仔细瞧) out. The man was still there, but he was holding something in his hands. Sarah’s fear grew. “What if he’s dangerous ” Sarah asked. Mrs. Baker patted Sarah’s shoulder and said, “Let’s not jump to a conclusion so quickly.”
Just then, the man began walking toward Sarah’s house. Sarah’s heart pounded as he approached the front door. But instead of knocking, he bent down and placed something on the porch (门廊). Then, he turned around and walked away.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Sarah and Mrs. Baker opened the door and found a package with a note. Sarah picked it up and read the note aloud, “To the family who lives here — I notice your garden has been struggling lately. I am a gardener, and I think these seeds might help. Best wishes, a newcomer in the neighborhood.” Sarah felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She had misjudged the man completely. He wasn’t a threat; he was just a kind new neighbor trying to help. Mrs. Baker smiled, “See Sometimes people surprise us in the best ways.”
The next day, Sarah decided to find the man and thank him for his seeds. She walked around the neighborhood until she spotted him working in a garden. She approached him nervously and smiled, “Thank you so much. I’m sorry if I seemed unfriendly. I didn’t know you were trying to help.” The man responded in a low voice, “It’s alright. I’ve been trying to find ways to get to know my neighbors.” When Sarah asked her new neighbor if she could learn some gardening techniques from him, the man looked surprised but soon nodded with a smile.
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Sarah的父母忙于工作，所以Sarah需要帮他们照顾花园，但Sarah对园艺不通，所以花园打理得不怎样。一个男子多次出现在Sarah家附近，他是新来的园丁，但Sarah感到害怕。她打电话给Baker太太，两人一起观察，发现男子走向门口放下东西离开。原来男子主动送来了种子，这让Sarah非常感激。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由续写第一段首句“Sarah和Baker太太打开门，发现了一个带纸条的包裹。”可知，第一段可以描写Sarah打开包裹后发现的东西并改变了对男子的看法。
②由续写第二段首句“第二天，Sarah决定找到那个人，并感谢他的种子。”可知，第二段可以描写Sarah向男子道谢，并为自己的不友好表示歉意。
2. 续写线索：
读纸条内容——发现男子想要送种子来帮助自己——找到男子——向男子道谢并为自己的不友好表达抱歉
3. 词汇激活：

Four Must-see Night Sky Events in 2025
In the upcoming year, stargazers can anticipate a range of heavenly wonders to get excited for.
Saturn and Venus joint
On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset. Venus, the brighter, will shine a brilliant red, with Saturn next to it appearing more golden. Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view.
Lunar eclipse (月食) and blood moon
During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.
Partial solar eclipse
The sky shifting from deep blue at the top, to burning reds on the horizon, the solar eclipse coming March 29, 2025, will have the sun appear as a new moon. Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon.
Moon and Mercury meet up
Mercury is tricky to spot because of its closeness to the sun. On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades. Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye.

The dogs’ names are Mars, Moon and Pluto, and you might say their cancer-sniffing (嗅) skills are out of this world. An experimental screening method that paired the dogs with AI was able to detect the odor (气味) of cancer carried on patients’ breaths. The dog-AI combination was highly accurate and sensitive, successfully spotting four types of cancer in 94 percent of cases, scientists reported recently in Scientific Reports.
What’s more, the screening worked just as well detecting early-stage cancers as it did later-stage cancers, says Assaf Rabinowicz, chief technology officer at SpotitEarly, the company that developed the method. He emphasizes that early detection is crucial in that it ensures more favorable clinical outcomes for patients, thus lengthening their life.
The new screening method taps dogs’ “amazing olfactory capabilities,” Rabinowicz says. Dogs and other animals can act like disease detectives, sniffing out the weak smells that serve as cancer’s odor fingerprint.
For this study, Rabinowicz’s team trained Labradors to smell breath samples and sit if they sniffed breast, lung, colorectal or prostate cancer. Figuring out whether the dogs are indicating yes or no sounds simple, but consistently reading their body language can be tricky for humans. That’s where AI comes in. The researchers trained an Al model that relies on machine learning and computer vision to translate the dogs’ cues.
The team partnered with medical centers to test their system on breath samples from nearly 1,400participants,261 of whom had tested positive for one of the four cancer types the dogs trained on. With the help of AI, the dog detectors picked out 245 of these cases. And they rarely called a negative sample “positive” — just 60out of 1,048 cases.
SpotitEarly is planning a larger clinical trial in the United States and is aiming to report early results in 2026.The company is now working with another type of dog — Beagles — for the cancer-detecting work, partly because they’re smaller and easier to train. But Mars, Moon, Pluto and the other Labradors who worked in the study are still top dogs to the researchers, and continue to contribute to research and development, Rabinowicz says.
28．What is the key to the new cancer-detecting method
A．Getting as many odor samples as possible.
B．Using advanced technology to analyze the odors.
C．Exposing dogs to early-stage cancer patients.
D．Combining dogs’ sense of smell with advanced technology.
29．Why is early cancer detection so important
A．It can reduce the cost of cancer treatment.
B．It can improve the survival chances of cancer patients.
C．It can facilitate more investment into cancer research.
D．It can help hospitals to prioritize high-risk patients.
30．What role does AI play in the process
A．An interpreter. B．An inspector. C．A trainer. D．A doctor.
31．What do the figures in paragraph 5 show
A．The necessity of further clinical trials.
B．The need for improvement in false positives.
C．The effectiveness of the cancer screening method.
D．The distribution of different types of cancer detected.
D
One out of every three people globally lacks access to clean water, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions in the water sector. With the decline in the quality of freshwater resources and the increase in global population, ensuring a reliable supply of clean water has become crucial. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changing technology in the cleantech industry, offering promising solutions for water treatment, wastewater management, and water conservation.
AI systems have the ability to estimate the composition of contaminants in water and optimize the efficiency of water treatment plants. By influencing neural networks, these systems can reduce energy costs by up to 40%. Additionally, AI can enhance the detection of bacteria in water, surpassing the limitations of traditional methods that rely on chemicals. AI systems employ optics (光学) to identify both known and previously unknown contaminants, greatly reducing time and costs.
Wastewater treatment is another area where AI plays a crucial role. Real-time visibility into liquid waste levels at remote wastewater sites allows for effective management and early problem detection. Fault detection software and continuous monitoring increase operational efficiency and minimize potential issues.
In terms of water conservation, AI-powered smart meters can identify leaks and pipe bursts in residential areas, reducing wastage and improving system efficiency. Governments and water corporations are using software analytics to manage and analyze sensor data, enabling better management of water systems and reducing unknown water. Telcos are partnering with Internet of Things (IoT) platform sellers to develop solutions that address the growing demand for loT in the water sector. The installation of smart meters worldwide is projected to experience a 28% growth rate, reaching nearly 400 million units by 2026.
As AI continues to advance, the possibilities for its application in the water sector are immense. With accurate data on water quality, consumers can choose personalized filtering solutions tailored to their specific needs. Moreover, as adoption increases and costs decrease, AI systems become more efficient, creating a positive feedback loop that helps preserve our planet’s most precious resource — water. The time to harness AI’s potential in the water sector is now.
32．What made a sustainable supply of clean water vital
A．The immediate need for creative settlements.
B．The increasing demand in the clean-tech industry.
C．Rising global population along with declining freshwater resources.
D．The promising solutions provided by AI.
33．What does the underlined word “contaminants” mean in paragraph 2
A．Substances. B．Pollutants. C．Objects. D．Chemicals.
34．According to the passage, how can AI help to provide maintainable clean water
A．By monitoring chemicals in water.
B．By detecting wastewater levels with delay-action systems.
C．By cooperating with loT to decline the need for sensor data.
D．By installing AI-powered smart meters to help manage water systems.
35．What is the possible future for the application of AI in the water sector
A．Promising. B．Discouraging. C．Impossible. D．Unachievable.

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。
Sarah, a high school student in the small town of Greenfield, was always alone at home. Her parents were always busy at work, even in the evenings. She had to do most of the housework by herself, including taking care of their garden. However, she knew little about gardening, so their garden never seemed attractive. One quiet evening, Sarah was left at home alone again. She was sitting by the window, doing her homework. As she looked outside, she noticed a man standing under the streetlamp across the road. He was tall, wearing a dark coat, and seemed to be looking directly at her house. Sarah’s heart skipped a beat.
For days, Sarah had seen the man walk around the neighborhood. He never spoke to anyone, and he always seemed to be alone. She had mentioned him to her parents, who said he was new to this town and was a gardener. However, Sarah couldn’t shake the feeling of fear.
That evening, as the man lingered (逗留) under the streetlamp, Sarah decided to call Mrs. Baker, who lived just a few houses away. Mrs. Baker was a kind elderly woman who had always been like a grandmother to Sarah. “Mrs. Baker, there’s a man outside, and he’s been standing there for a while. I’m scared,” Sarah whispered into the phone. Mrs. Baker tried to calm Sarah down and said, “Don’t worry, dear. I’ll come over soon.”
A few minutes later, Mrs. Baker arrived at Sarah’s door. Together, they went to the window and peered (仔细瞧) out. The man was still there, but he was holding something in his hands. Sarah’s fear grew. “What if he’s dangerous ” Sarah asked. Mrs. Baker patted Sarah’s shoulder and said, “Let’s not jump to a conclusion so quickly.”
Just then, the man began walking toward Sarah’s house. Sarah’s heart pounded as he approached the front door. But instead of knocking, he bent down and placed something on the porch (门廊). Then, he turned around and walked away.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sarah and Mrs. Baker opened the door and found a package with a note.
