M: Genetic what
W: Profiling. Scientists say they will soon be able to analyze the genes of every single person.
M: Can’t they do that now
W: Yes, but soon it will be cheap to do. Then they will be able to invent cures for individual people’s problems.
M: It will probably come too late to cure your cold.
W: Seems like it, although scientists now have the gene sequences for half the population of Iceland.
M: That’s only a little place. When will they do it in the United States or China
W: I’m sure they are working on it now.
M: So how could it help someone like me
W: Well, if you have a family history of a certain health problem, maybe it is in your genes. Perhaps a medicine could be given that would just help you.
M: Wow! That would be cool. I can see how that would be very important. Let’s hope it is introduced soon. It sounds very promising.

Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’ Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent — with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey. Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete.
24．How did the author and her sister feel when sailing past the icebergs
A．Frightened. B．Terrific. C．Confused. D．Unconcerned.
25．What happened first on the author’s journey
A．They flew to Ushuaia. B．They passed through the Drake Passage.
C．They travelled around Buenos Aires. D．They hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals.
26．What can we infer about their travel from the last paragraph
A．The author might feel bad when crossing the Drake Passage.
B．The author was the most impressed by the champagne party.
C．The author believes that their next travel will be more thrilling.
D．The author thought an Antarctica post office should be established.
27．Which can serve as the best title for the text
A．A Family’s Journey to Antarctica.
B．A Comfortable Travel Experience.
C．An Antarctic Adventure for Scientific Research.
D．Exploring Antarctica — A Place with Various animals.
【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家跟随迪士尼探险公司前往南极洲的旅行经历。
24．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. (我和妹妹从床上跳起来，当我们驶过巨大的冰块时，惊讶地凝视着)”可知，在驶过冰山时，两人感觉大为惊奇，棒极了。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. (当我们飞到布宜诺斯艾利斯，在美丽的阿根廷首都探索一天时，我们的冒险就开始了)”可知，在这次家庭之旅的一开始，他们游览了布宜诺斯艾利斯。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. (我们在穿越德雷克海峡时经历了晕船，和可爱的动物一起爬上了冰山，还品尝了香槟)”可知，在穿越德雷克海峡时，作者一家经历了晕船。由此推知，作者在穿越德雷克海峡时感觉很糟糕。故选A。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete. (老实说，我们下一次的家庭旅行可能会很难与之匹敌)”可知，文章讲述了作者一家的南极冒险之旅，他们从布宜诺斯艾利斯出发，经过乌斯怀亚，穿越德雷克海峡到达南极洲。在南极的第一天，他们欣赏到了冰山和座头鲸。旅程中，他们体验了南极的独特活动。作者认为这次旅行是改变人生的经历，充满了难忘的瞬间。因此，A项“A Family’s Journey to Antarctica (一家人的南极之旅)”最适合作为文章标题。故选A。

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974, established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the human environment that took place in 1972. Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The latest World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution. It urged people to explore and choose alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which makes up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year, people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades (游行), concerts, cleaning, tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday, so you won’t be getting the day off work or school, but if you want to celebrate, why not bring it to the attention of your parents, friends, colleagues or classmates World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learning about green foods, raising money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learning about the effects of different products on the earth.
28．What do people do on World Environment Day
A．Decide a host city. B．Hold a theme party.
C．Discuss environmental ideas. D．Show some plastic products.
29．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “disposable” in Paragraph 3
A．High-cost. B．Poor-quality. C．Second-hand. D．Single-use.
30．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A．Every bit of effort counts. B．Doing is better than saying.
C．Many hands make light work. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
31．Why was World Environment Day set up
A．To make people know more about nature. B．To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C．To warn people of the danger of air pollution. D．To encourage people to plan for the earth’s future.
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．A 31．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界环境日的由来和情况，呼吁全员动起来帮助保护地球。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment. (每年，联合国都会选择一个主题和一个主办城市，任何关心环境的人都可以在这里与其他人谈论环境话题，然后是不同类型的展览，以提高环境意识。环保人士、学者和科学家聚集在一起，就环境问题提出新的想法)”可知，在世界环境日，关心环境的人可以一起讨论环境话题，环保主义者、学者和科学家们聚在一起提出关于环境的新想法。所以人们在世界环境日会讨论环境方面的想法。故选C项。
29．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The latest World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution. It urged people to explore and choose alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which makes up 10% of all of the waste.(最近的世界环境日由印度主办，主题是“击败塑料污染”。它敦促人们探索和选择纸袋或布袋等替代品，以减少disposable塑料的生产和使用，这类塑料占所有垃圾10%)” 可知，为了减少塑料污染，鼓励人们选择纸袋或布袋等替代品，来减少“disposable plastic”的生产和使用。结合常识，可推测“disposable plastic”指的是一次性塑料，“disposable”意思是“一次性的”，与“Single-use（一次性的）”意思最接近。故选D项。
30．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learning about green foods, raising money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learning about the effects of different products on the earth.(世界环境日是关于共同为地球采取行动，所以试着让你认识的每个人都有兴趣帮助做一些事情。小到确保人们有回收利用的方法，都能带来改变。你也可以尝试通过种植花园、学习绿色食品、为当地野生动物保护组织筹集资金或简单地了解不同产品对地球的影响来美化你的社区)”可知，最后一段主要讲了可以让身边的人一起为地球采取行动，像确保人们有回收途径这样的小事也能产生影响，还可以做一些如美化社区等其他事情。也就是说每一点努力都很重要，A 选项“Every bit of effort counts.（每一点努力都很重要）”符合该段主旨。故选A项。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段“World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.(每年的6月5日是世界环境日，它的设立是为了激励世界各地的人们积极参与环境保护，并了解更多我们可以帮助确保地球未来安全的方法)”可推知，世界环境日设立的目的是让人们帮助保护地球。故选B项。

In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend. In Bangladesh, electric three-wheeler taxis, known as tuk-tuks, are rapidly replacing gas-powered ones on the streets. Such electric vehicles are climate friendly, cost-effective, and help reduce air pollution.
Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries (铅酸电池), containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.
Lead is dangerous, and any exposure to it is harmful to human health. Lead that has entered the environment hurts people on an extraordinary scale. The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.
The World Bank estimates that lead kills 5.5 million people per year, which would make it a bigger global killer than AIDS, malaria, diabetes, and road traffic deaths combined. On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive (认知的) effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.
But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.
32．How does the author describe the lead problem in paragraph 2
A．By making a comparison. B．By analyzing hidden causes.
C．By listing convincing numbers. D．By explaining its working principle.
33．What can we learn from the text
A．Lead enters rich countries in various ways.
B．Lead poisoning may make poor societies poorer.
C．Exposure to lead doesn’t necessarily harm someone.
D．Lead leaking has caused great fear in rich and poor countries.
34．What can be done to solve lead poisoning in developing countries
A．Fixing these used batteries. B．Putting certain effort and money.
C．Prohibiting the illegal use of lead. D．Reducing the cost of recycling lead.
35．What’s the text mainly about
A．The global lead poisoning crisis. B．The ways to solve lead problems.
C．The outcomes of using electric vehicles. D．The impacts of lead poisoning on human health.
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．B 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要阐述了目前全球都在发展环保节能的电动汽车，但是铅酸电池中的铅是危险的，任何接触都对人体健康，铅中毒给人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害，不仅造成死亡还带来极大的社会负担。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries (铅酸电池), containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.( 然而，只要看一眼这些车辆的引擎盖下面，就会发现一个有毒的秘密：每辆嘟嘟车都是由五块巨大的铅酸电池驱动的，总共含有近300磅的铅。每一年半左右，当这些电池需要更换和回收时，大约有60磅的铅泄漏到环境中。电池回收通常在不受监管的小型工厂进行，这是一项高利润但致命的业务)”作者通过用具体数字列出嘟嘟车铅酸电池中铅的量来说明目前所面临的铅污染问题；由此可知，作者通过列出令人信服的数字来说明目前的铅问题。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.(在发展中国家，铅以多种方式进入空气、水、土壤和家庭——以及它对人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害——造成了世界上最大的环境危机之一，但却很少受到关注)”以及第四段中“On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality—our research on the cognitive(认知的)effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries..(除了令人震惊的死亡之外，铅中毒的社会负担是巨大的，就像它对全球不平等的贡献一样——我们对铅中毒的认知影响的研究表明，它可以解释富国和穷国之间教育成就差距的五分之一)”可知，在发展中国家，铅以多种方式进入空气、水、土壤和家庭，对人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害，不仅造成死亡还带来极大的社会负担，使贫穷的社会更贫穷。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.(但是，与发展中国家面临的许多挑战不同，铅中毒是一个可以通过一些关注和相对适度的财政投资来解决的问题。更好的监测、研究和规则可以帮助保护世界各地的儿童免受铅中毒的可怕影响，并减少其带来的巨大全球成本)”可知，发展中国家可以通过一些关注和相对适度的财政投资，进行更好的监测、研究以及制定规则来解决铅污染和铅中毒问题；由此可知，发展中国家可以通过投入一定的努力和金钱解决铅中毒问题。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend.(在西方富裕国家，电动汽车革命正在如火如荼地进行。有气候意识的消费者出于道德和时尚的原因驾驶特斯拉或北极星。较贫穷的国家也正在经历一波电气化趋势)”以及第二段“Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries (铅酸电池), containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business..(然而，只要看一眼这些车辆的引擎盖下面，就会发现一个有毒的秘密：每辆嘟嘟车都是由五块巨大的铅酸电池驱动的，总共含有近300磅的铅。每一年半左右，当这些电池需要更换和回收时，大约有60磅的铅泄漏到环境中。电池回收通常在不受监管的小型工厂进行，这是一项高利润但致命的业务)”可知，全球都在发展电动汽车，经历电气化，但是铅酸电池中的铅是危险的；下文主要阐述了铅中毒给社会和健康带来的极大危害；由此可知，文章主要讲述目前发展电动汽车带来的铅污染问题、世界上铅中毒的严峻形势及其给社会和健康带来的极大危害。故选A。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. 36 Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles.
37 “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos.
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. 38
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. 39 But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why 40 Just to be sure, never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A．It’s never been better.
B．Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
C．Never broadcast your journey on social media.
D．There are other people on the other side of the wall.
E．However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.
F．Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.
G．Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear, leave.
【答案】36．E 37．C 38．G 39．F 40．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了旅行中如何保护个人隐私的问题，提供了一系列实用的建议和措施来应对隐私泄露的风险。
36．根据上文“Data leaks, surveillance(监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious.(数据泄露、对监视的担忧，以及飞机座椅靠背和酒店房间里那些令人讨厌的摄像头，这些都足以让旅客感到焦虑。)”可知，上文提到旅行者面临数据泄露等问题感到焦虑；而下文“Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air.(幸运的是，无论是在陆地上还是在空中，都有一些方法可以保护你的隐私。)”则指出有办法保护隐私。选项E“However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.(然而，旅行者并非对这些威胁无能为力。)”起到承上启下的作用，说明尽管有问题，但旅行者可以采取措施。故选E。
37．根据下文““It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos. (Danny McLoughlin说：“在脸书上宣布你要去某个地方旅行可不是明智之举，这会提醒很多人你的房子正空着，这会让你的安全面临风险。”等到你回来之后再开始发布度假照片吧。)”可知，下文提到不要在脸书上宣布自己去旅行了，等回来再发照片，可知此段讲的是不要在社交媒体上公布自己的旅行信息。选项C“Never broadcast your journey on social media.(永远不要在社交媒体上公布你的行程。)”与本段内容相符，符合语境。故选C。
38．根据上文“Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep.(一些出租房屋的房主可能会安装安全摄像头。旅行者应该了解房东是否被要求告知是否存在监控设备。如果租的房子配有摄像头，要通过仔细检查确保它们不在敏感区域。)”可知，上文讲述的是租房时遇到摄像头的情况。选项G“Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear, leave.(如果有任何可疑情况，立即向房东报告——如果你对听到的解释不满意，就离开。)”是对发现问题后的处理建议，符合上下文逻辑。故选G。
39．根据上文“Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble.(虽然你无法控制酒店或航空公司如何处理——或错误处理——你的数据，但你可以采取合理的措施，确保他们所掌握的信息不会给你带来麻烦。)”可知，上文说要采取合理措施确保信息安全。选项F“Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.(一些旅行者只提供最基本的信息，比如用邮政信箱代替家庭住址。)”自然延续上文内容，指出具体的保护隐私的做法。故选F。
40．根据上文“For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why (例如，酒店职员有时会询问你的姓名，然后在你办理入住手续后公布你的房间号。当职员询问你的姓名时，你最好把身份证递给他或她，并让他或她把你的房间号写在一张纸上。为什么呢？)”可知，上文提问为什么要让员工把房间号写在纸上。选项D“There are other people on the other side of the wall.(墙的另一边可能还有其他人在听呢。)”解释了原因，即防止别人听到房间号，保障隐私。故选D。

第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。
Hosted by the National Palace Museum in Beijing, “Timeless Threads”, an exhibition 56 (consist) of ancient silk artworks and AI-recreated Tang Dynasty paintings, reveals how technology can reinterpret China’s artistic legacy. The idea 57 (originate) in 2020 when scholars aimed to 58 (dynamic) bridge classical techniques with modern tools.
Each silk item conveys tales of cultural integration. For example, 59 Ming Dynasty sewing shows Marco Polo’s journey. The central gallery displays artifacts serving as 60 (representative) from four major Chinese dynasties, allowing visitors to involve 61 (they) in interacting with history through virtual reality.
A restoration team, dominated by skilled craftsmen, employed 3D scanning 62 (bring)faded ink landscapes to life. 63 makes the exhibition revolutionary is its emphasis 64 youth participation. Experts insist that conserving tradition demand innovation. “We strive to enhance cultural pride by reimagining heritage.” said the director.
Since its first appearance in 2024, global attention 65 (draw) to “Timeless Threads”, proving that ancient art can resonate with cutting-edge technology.
【答案】
56．consisting 57．originated 58．dynamically 59．a 60．representatives 61．themselves 62．to bring 63．What 64．on 65．has been drawn
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了由北京故宫博物院主办的“永恒之线”展览，由古代丝绸艺术品和人工智能重现的唐代绘画组成，揭示了技术如何重新诠释中国的艺术遗产。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：由北京故宫博物院主办的“永恒之线”展览，由古代丝绸艺术品和人工智能重现的唐代绘画组成，揭示了技术如何重新诠释中国的艺术遗产。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰an exhibition，an exhibition和consist of为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填consisting。
57．考查动词时态。句意：这个想法起源于2020年，当时学者们的目标是动态地将经典技术与现代工具联系起来。根据时间状语“in 2020”可知，句子时态应用一般过去时，所以填originate 的过去式originated。故填originated。
58．考查副词。句意：这个想法起源于2020年，当时学者们的目标是动态地将经典技术与现代工具联系起来。此处修饰动词“bridge”应用副词形式，dynamic的副词是dynamically，意为 “动态地；有活力地”。故填dynamically。
59．考查冠词。句意：例如，一件明代的缝纫作品展示了马可波罗的旅程。根据句意以及空后Ming Dynasty sewing为单数名词可知，此处为泛指“一件明代的缝纫作品”，结合Ming为首音节辅音单词，所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
60．考查名词复数形式。句意：中央展厅展示了代表中国四大朝代的文物，让游客通过虚拟现实与历史互动。此处表示“作为四个主要中国朝代的代表”，“representative”是可数名词，根据“four major Chinese dynasties”可知应用复数形式representatives。故填representatives。
61．考查代词。句意：中央展厅展示了代表中国四大朝代的文物，让游客通过虚拟现实与历史互动。“involve oneself in...”是固定短语，意为“使自己参与……”，主语是“visitors”，所以用反身代词 themselves。故填themselves。
62．考查动词不定式。句意：一个由熟练工匠组成的修复团队利用3D扫描技术，将褪色的墨迹景观重现。“employ sth. to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“使用某物做某事”，所以用动词不定式to bring。故填to bring。
63．考查主语从句。句意：这次展览之所以具有革命性，是因为它强调年轻人的参与。分析句子可知，“____ makes the exhibition revolutionary” 是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，且表示 “…… 的事情”，所以用 What 引导该主语从句。故填What。
64．考查固定短语。句意：这次展览之所以具有革命性，是因为它强调年轻人的参与。“emphasis on...”是固定短语，意为“对…… 的强调”。故填on。
65．考查动词时态和语态。句意：自2024年首次亮相以来，“永恒之线”吸引了全球的目光，证明了古代艺术可以与尖端技术产生共鸣。根据“Since its first appearance in 2024”可知，句子时态应用现在完成时，“global attention”和“draw”之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，即has been drawn。故填has been drawn。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One afternoon, Emma and I were walking home from school, chatting about our day. Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.”
Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling bad. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move.
The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly.
Then, something interesting happened. On Tuesday, Ms. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right.
I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward.

【答案】参考范文
Knowing what I had to say, I took a shaking step toward the stage. My hands were sweaty, and my voice shook at first. “My most embarrassing and regretful moment was when I broke my friend Lucy’s trust,” I said. “I said something mean about her without thinking. I was wrong, and I’ve felt bad about it. Lucy, you’re an amazing friend — you’re kind and caring. I am so sorry for my thoughtless words.” As I spoke, I kept looking at Lucy anxiously and saw the tears pouring down her cheeks.
That day marked a turning point. Lucy and I didn’t talk about what had happened, but we started to talk, laugh together, and share secrets again, as if she had silently forgiven me. From then on, our friendship was rekindled, and we made a promise to always communicate openly. This incident not only mended our relationship but also taught me the power of apology and the importance of being mindful of others’ feelings in every friendship.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和其他同学说自己和Lucy不是真的朋友，结果被Lucy听到了，Lucy十分伤心地离开了。后来作者鼓起勇气在其他人前面向Lucy道了歉，取得了Lucy的原谅，两人再次成为朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句“知道自己要说什么，我让自己冷静下来，走向舞台”可知，第一段可描写作者演讲的内容以及Lucy的反应。
②由第二段首句“那一天标志着一个转折点”可知，第二段可描写Lucy与作者和好以及作者对友谊的感悟。
2.续写线索：公开道歉 — 表达歉意 — 取得原谅 — 重归于好 — 作者感悟
3.词汇激活

Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’ Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent — with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey. Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete.
24．How did the author and her sister feel when sailing past the icebergs
A．Frightened. B．Terrific. C．Confused. D．Unconcerned.
25．What happened first on the author’s journey
A．They flew to Ushuaia. B．They passed through the Drake Passage.
C．They travelled around Buenos Aires. D．They hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals.
26．What can we infer about their travel from the last paragraph
A．The author might feel bad when crossing the Drake Passage.
B．The author was the most impressed by the champagne party.
C．The author believes that their next travel will be more thrilling.
D．The author thought an Antarctica post office should be established.
27．Which can serve as the best title for the text
A．A Family’s Journey to Antarctica.
B．A Comfortable Travel Experience.
C．An Antarctic Adventure for Scientific Research.
D．Exploring Antarctica — A Place with Various animals.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974, established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the human environment that took place in 1972. Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The latest World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution. It urged people to explore and choose alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which makes up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year, people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades (游行), concerts, cleaning, tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday, so you won’t be getting the day off work or school, but if you want to celebrate, why not bring it to the attention of your parents, friends, colleagues or classmates World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learning about green foods, raising money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learning about the effects of different products on the earth.
28．What do people do on World Environment Day
A．Decide a host city. B．Hold a theme party.
C．Discuss environmental ideas. D．Show some plastic products.
29．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “disposable” in Paragraph 3
A．High-cost. B．Poor-quality. C．Second-hand. D．Single-use.
30．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A．Every bit of effort counts. B．Doing is better than saying.
C．Many hands make light work. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
31．Why was World Environment Day set up
A．To make people know more about nature. B．To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C．To warn people of the danger of air pollution. D．To encourage people to plan for the earth’s future.
D
In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend. In Bangladesh, electric three-wheeler taxis, known as tuk-tuks, are rapidly replacing gas-powered ones on the streets. Such electric vehicles are climate friendly, cost-effective, and help reduce air pollution.
Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries (铅酸电池), containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.
Lead is dangerous, and any exposure to it is harmful to human health. Lead that has entered the environment hurts people on an extraordinary scale. The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.
The World Bank estimates that lead kills 5.5 million people per year, which would make it a bigger global killer than AIDS, malaria, diabetes, and road traffic deaths combined. On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive (认知的) effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.
But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.
32．How does the author describe the lead problem in paragraph 2
A．By making a comparison. B．By analyzing hidden causes.
C．By listing convincing numbers. D．By explaining its working principle.
33．What can we learn from the text
A．Lead enters rich countries in various ways.
B．Lead poisoning may make poor societies poorer.
C．Exposure to lead doesn’t necessarily harm someone.
D．Lead leaking has caused great fear in rich and poor countries.
34．What can be done to solve lead poisoning in developing countries
A．Fixing these used batteries. B．Putting certain effort and money.
C．Prohibiting the illegal use of lead. D．Reducing the cost of recycling lead.
35．What’s the text mainly about
A．The global lead poisoning crisis. B．The ways to solve lead problems.
C．The outcomes of using electric vehicles. D．The impacts of lead poisoning on human health.

How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. 36 Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles.
37 “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos.
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. 38
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. 39 But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why 40 Just to be sure, never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A．It’s never been better.
B．Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
C．Never broadcast your journey on social media.
D．There are other people on the other side of the wall.
E．However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.
F．Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.
G．Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear, leave.

One afternoon, Emma and I were walking home from school, chatting about our day. Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.”
Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling bad. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move.
The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly.
Then, something interesting happened. On Tuesday, Ms. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right.
I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage.
