As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24．What fired Sarah Toumi’s passion to help others
A．Her childhood living with her family in France.
B．Her experience in fighting against desertification.
C．Her holiday trips to her father’s birthplace in Tunisia.
D．Her strong desire to become a leader to better the world.
25．What is the main cause of desertification in Tunisia
A．The severe shortage of water. B．The rising amount of rainfall.
C．The breakdown of rich farmers. D．The change of farming practices.
26．How did Sarah Toumi contribute to addressing desertification
A．By encouraging the farmers to plant conventional crops.
B．By spreading the application of natural products and chemical fertilizers.
C．By promoting sustainable farming practices and initiating tree-planting program.
D．By relocating the young from areas with no access to water to urban centers.
27．Which of the following can be the best title to the text
A．Protect the Plants in Africa B．Holding Back the Sahara
C．Extending the Program in Tunisia D．Fighting Poverty in North Africa
There are many common therapies (疗法) for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy. Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them. Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It’s called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the nature-depression link.
A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. “It seems that, from our work, the restorative effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression,” says Marc Berman, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. That might be because they feel mentally exhausted, and being in nature reenergizes them, However, Dr. Berman has a strong warning. “We’re not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression,” he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves”.
However, Berman and others say, interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary pared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting, those who took a 50-minute walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.
Why does nature hold this special effect Berman says, “In a natural environment, we can choose to think or not, and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains. You can then pay attention later, when you need to.” He adds, “It gives people more ability to concentrate, which is a big problem for those with depression.” Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains, unlike urban setting. Even in the most peaceful urban environment, you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and stoplights.
28．What can we learn about the common depression therapies
A．They pay no attention to interactions.
B．They should be replaced by nature therapy.
C．They mainly depend on natural environment.
D．They need to be tailored to different patients.
29．How does nature benefit patients with depression
A．By replacing clinic treatment. B．By making them feel energetic.
C．By reminding them to rest in time. D．By covering up their mental problems.
30．What does the underlined word ”supplementary“ in paragraph 3 mean
A．Essential. B．Additional.
C．Controversial. D．Fundamental.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．An urban setting of restoring energy.
B．An addiction to clinical therapy for depression.
C．The positive role of nature in treating depression.
D．The advantage of using multiple ways to treat diseases.
Deepfakes have become a significant topic in recent times. A deepfake refers to a realistic fake image, video, or audio clip crafted by artificial intelligence, specifically through deep learning techniques. The term itself combines “deep learning” and “fake”.
In 2023, we saw a prime example when AI-created images of Pope Francis in a white puffer jacket went viral. Many online were deceived into believing they were genuine photos. While deepfakes do have some practical applications, like in the film industry. For instance, when making a sequel to an old movie where actors have aged, filmmakers can utilize deepfake technology to make the actors appear as they did in the original.
However, deepfakes also pose numerous problems. Many actors worry that their images could be used without agreement to create new movies. Moreover, deepfakes are major contributors to the spread of false information. In 2024, fraudsters made a deepfake of President Joe Biden’s voice, urging people not to vote in New Hampshire’s presidential primary elections. Some who received calls with this fake voice were actually convinced to skip voting. There was also a case where a deepfake ad featuring Selena Gomez promoting cookware was made without her knowledge.
The creation of altered media isn’t new, but deepfakes are different. Firstly, instead of just modifying existing media, deepfakes, can be easily generated from scratch, Secondly, with the power of AI, even non-experts can effortlessly make such fake images, and audio. This means anyone can create deepfakes of others, not just public figures. Ordinary people can also fall victim, as deepfakes can be used to bully or scam them.
Despite how compelling these Al-generated fakes can be, there are ways to spot them. For example, carefully observing the reflections in the eyes might be one way to identify a deepfake. In conclusion, while deepfakes have their uses in certain fields, their potential for misuse and causing harm makes it crucial for us to be aware of them and find ways to detect them.
32．In which industry can deepfakes have practical uses
A．Movie. B．Agriculture. C．AI technology. D．Mining.
33．Why does the author mention the case of Selena Gomez in paragraph 3
A．To show that deepfakes are popular among celebrities.
B．To illustrate that ordinary people can also create deepfakes.
C．To emphasize that deepfakes are mainly used in the entertainment industry.
D．To prove that deepfakes can be used to promote products without permission.
34．What can we infer about the ability to create deepfakes
A．Only professional AI experts can create them.
B．It requires a lot of complex equipment to create them.
C．Even ordinary people can create deepfakes easily with AI.
D．It’s impossible for anyone to create them without permission.
35．What’s the author’s attitude towards deepfakes
A．Approving. B．Objective. C．Casual. D．Unconcerned.
Preparing for exams Give yourself the best chance with these study tips, and try not to let the stress get to you! Remember: you’ve got this.
36 Don’t leave it until the last minute. While some students do seem to succeed depending on last-minute hard-work, it’s widely accepted that this is not the best way. To help sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study and organize it accordingly.
Use flow charts and diagrams. 37 At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic — and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam, simplify your revision notes into one-page diagrams, which can help you to quickly recall everything you need during the exam.
Explain your answers to others. Take advantage of your parents and little brothers and sisters around exam time. Explain an answer to a question to them. 38
Take regular breaks. You may think it’s best to study for as many hours as possible. 39 Studies have shown that for long-term memory of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.
Plan your exam day. 40 Don’t leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don’t know the way, or what you’re supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the trip. If not, write down clear directions.
A．Think about what works for you.
B．Give yourself enough time to study.
C．Avoid developing any study routine.
D．However, this can turn out to be the opposite.
E．That will help you to get it clear in your head.
F．Visual aids can be really helpful when revising.
G．Get everything ready well in advance of the exam.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Whenever I spread marmalade (橘子酱), I am reminded of my mother, a five-foot-tall angel who even befriended a skunk (臭鼬).
One day, while she was busy picking beans in the backyard, she came across a skunk no more than a meter away. The skunk’s embarrassment was evident as he had undoubtedly been rummaging (乱翻) through the garbage. He still had a marmalade jar stuck on his nose. Mom took pity on him. Instead of worrying the creature would spray something smelly all over her and the beans, she smiled compassionately at the little thing and extended a helping hand. Kneeling on the ground, she inched across the grass, reached out, and twisted the jar—very carefully.
The jar slipped off. The skunk nodded a thank-you before slipping away into the woods at the back of the garden. Obviously, there was no spraying incident, thanks to my remarkable mother. She repeated this tale numerous times, always calling the skunk Marmalade. However, that was not the end of the story. Three summers later, when I was about twelve, another encounter occurred.
It was a rainy morning, and both my mother and father had gone to work. My friend Rob came over to play, and we decided to run the electric train in my room. Suddenly, a scratching sound emerged from the attic (阁楼). Rob assumed that it might be some kind of animal. Curiosity got the better of us, and we ventured towards the source of the sound.
I cautiously opened the attic door in the hall. The noise ceased abruptly. I climbed up the stairs, Rob following my lead. There behind the toy box near the chimney stood the animal—black with a distinct white stripe down his back. Was he scared and trembling I believe so, at least that’s what I remember. Instinctively, I retreated, fearing the potential spray or bites from the creature. “Hey, Rob,” I whispered urgently, “It’s a skunk. Let’s go to the kitchen and figure out a way to get him out of here.”
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。
Paragraph 1:
In the cupboard, several paper cups and a jar of marmalade caught our sight.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Rob and I followed the skunk as he ate his way down the stairs.

【原文】W: I’d like to welcome Barry Green, the successful concert violinist, to our studio today.
M: Hello. It’s good to be here.
W: Barry, why did you decide to be a violinist
M: It was something I’d been desperate to do since I was about six years old. My parents weren’t musicians, but they let my brother and I do whatever we liked as hobbies, as long as it didn’t get in the way of our education. My brother’s a good footballer, but sport’s never really been my thing. I watched a concert on TV, and after that I was hooked.
W: So what did you do when you left school
M: I thought about studying maths or physics, but then I heard about a youth band that was doing a world tour. They offered me a scholarship so I could afford to go, which was brilliant. When I got back, as I already knew what I wanted to do, it seemed pointless to delay going to music college, so that’s where I went. I’m very lucky to be able to do what I love, and to have achieved what I set out to do as a young child. Not many people get the chance to do that.
17．A 18．A 19．B 20．C
【原文】
W: Hi. My name’s Jess. I work at an activity center for young people, as an activity leader. The center is in North Cornwall in the south-west of England. The center is open all year round, but I only work here during the summer, and summer is the busiest time, so they need extra activity leaders then. Activity centers are a great idea for young people. Most of the people who come to the center live in towns and cities, so it’s a chance to enjoy some fresh air. Our center is near the sea, so we spend most time on water activities like surfing and sailing. We also do rock climbing and mountain biking on the mountain slopes. I think that the most important thing about the activity centers is the social side. Young people today spend so much time on computers or watching TV that they don’t talk to each other much. In most of our activities they have to work in teams, so it’s a good opportunity for them to learn about working and communicating with other people, and to make new friends, too. In the evenings, we get together to sing songs and play indoor games. On the last afternoon, we always have team games. Every group wants to be first, so they really try hard, and it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been an activity leader for three years now, but this will be my last time. I’m finishing university next year and getting a fulltime job. It’s sad to think that this is my last year here, but I’ve really enjoyed it.
21．A 22．A 23．B

24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.(从九岁起，她在假期陪伴突尼斯籍的父亲前往他在该国东部的出生地，这时她帮助他人的热情被唤醒了)”可知，萨拉·图米帮助他人的热情源于她去突尼斯父亲出生地的假期旅行。故选C项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.(平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加，导致突尼斯约75%的农业用地受到沙漠化的威胁)”可知，突尼斯沙漠化的主要原因是严重缺水。故选A项。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.(她相信，如果农民能够通过种植可持续作物、使用新的水处理技术、关注天然产品和肥料而不是化学品来适应，小块土地也能带来巨大回报)”及第四段中的“In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. (2012年，图米继续着她对抗沙漠的梦想。她搬到突尼斯，设立了一个名为 “全民金合欢”（Acacias for All）的项目，将自己的可持续农业理念付诸实践)”可知，萨拉·图米通过推广可持续农业实践和发起植树项目来帮助解决沙漠化问题。故选C项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification.(图米亲眼目睹了沙漠化的破坏性影响)”和第三段“Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.(图米认识到农业实践需要改变。她相信，如果农民能够通过种植可持续作物、使用新的水处理技术、关注天然产品和肥料而不是化学品来适应，小块土地也能带来巨大回报)”可知，文章主要讲述萨拉·图米为阻止撒哈拉沙漠扩张而采取的行动，因此“阻止撒哈拉沙漠”可以概括本文的主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍自然疗法在缓解抑郁症方面的作用及其相较于传统疗法的优势。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them.(有一系列的治疗选择是个好主意，因为没有一种治疗方法对数百万患者都同样有效。为他们选择最合适的治疗方法很重要。)”可知，没有一种治疗方法对数百万患者都同样有效，由此可知，常见的抑郁症疗法需要针对不同患者进行调整。故选D项。

(与自然互动可以作为一种非常有效的supplementary治疗。)”可知，与自然互动应是一种有效的“补充”治疗，符合语境，所以划线单词的意思与“补充的”意义相近。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段中的“Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It’s called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the nature-depression link.(现在研究人员称，应在已有的治疗方法中加入一种经证实能缓解抑郁症的新疗法，其被称为自然疗法。研究自然与抑郁症关联的专家伊桑 克罗斯博士（Ethan Kross, PhD）表示：“与自然互动对抑郁症患者可产生积极影响。”)”以及下文中介绍的自然疗法的影响可知，文章主要介绍了自然在治疗抑郁症中的积极作用。故选C项。

33．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There was also a case where a deepfake ad featuring Selena Gomez promoting cookware was made without her knowledge.(还有一个案例是，在赛琳娜·戈麦斯不知情的情况下，制作了一个她宣传炊具的深度伪造广告。)”可推知，作者提到赛琳娜·戈麦斯的案例是为了证明深度伪造可用于未经允许的产品推广。故选D项。

35．推理判断题。通读全文可知，结合第二段“In 2023, we saw a prime example when AI-created images of Pope Francis in a white puffer jacket went viral. Many online were deceived into believing they were genuine photos. While deepfakes do have some practical applications, like in the film industry. For instance, when making a sequel to an old movie where actors have aged, filmmakers can utilize deepfake technology to make the actors appear as they did in the original. (2023 年，我们看到了一个典型例子：人工智能生成的 “方济各教皇身穿白色羽绒服” 的图像迅速走红，许多网友误以为这些是真实照片。尽管深度伪造技术确实有一些实际应用，比如在电影行业中 —— 当为老电影制作续集时，若演员已年迈，电影人可以利用深度伪造技术让演员呈现出他们在原版电影中的模样。)”以及第三段中的“However, deepfakes also pose numerous problems.(然而，深度伪造技术也带来了诸多问题。)”可知，文章既提到了深度伪造在电影行业等方面的积极应用，又阐述了它带来的诸如传播虚假信息、侵犯他人权益等诸多问题，最后还指出要意识到它并找到检测方法，整体是比较客观地在论述深度伪造这一事物，由此可知，作者的态度是客观的。故选B项。

While some students do seem to succeed depending on last-minute hard-work, it’s widely accepted that this is not the best way. To help sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study and organize it accordingly. (不要把事情拖到最后一刻。尽管有些学生似乎依靠最后一刻的努力也能成功，但人们普遍认为这不是最好的方法。为了帮助你做好时间管理，你可以为学习制定一个时间表，并据此进行安排。)”可知，此段强调要给自己足够的时间学习, 不要拖延。B选项“Give yourself enough time to study.(给自己足够的时间学习。)”为祈使句，概括了本段的主题内容，可以作为段落主题句。故选B项。

Explain an answer to a question to them.(在考试期间，可以借助父母和弟弟妹妹的帮助。向他们讲解一道题的答案。)”可知，本段介绍的是向他人解释问题答案，结合空格所处的位置在段尾，此空应是对该段进行总结。E选项“That will help you to get it clear in your head.(那会帮助你在头脑中理清思路。)”中的“That”指代“解释答案”的行为，“get it clear in your head”体现讲解对自身理解的促进作用，符合逻辑。故选E项。
39．根据上文“You may think it’s best to study for as many hours as possible.(你可能认为学习时间越长越好。)”及下文“Studies have shown that for long-term memory of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps. (研究表明，要长期记忆知识，定期休息确实很有帮助。)”可知，长时间学习并非最好，由此可推断，此空需转折“长时间学习”的观点。D选项“However, this can turn out to be the opposite.(然而，事实可能恰恰相反。)”与上文为转折关系，“the opposite”指“长时间学习并非最佳方式”，引出下文“定期休息”的建议，符合语境。故选D项。
40．根据段落主题句“Plan your exam day.(规划你的考试日。)”及下文“Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time.(检查所有规则和要求，并规划路线和行程时间。)”可知，都在说要提前为考试日做好准备。G选项“Get everything ready well in advance of the exam.(在考试前提前准备好一切。)”中的“in advance of the exam”对应“规划考试日”，“Get everything ready”具体说明规划内容，符合段落主旨。故选G项。

66．Dear friends,
I am more than delighted to have the chance to speak here on behalf of our school volleyball team from China.
With our exchange program drawing to an end, I want to express our sincere gratitude to you for your kindness and generosity. But for your help, we wouldn’t have had such an eye-opening experience. All of us have learnt from each other and become attached to each other. During our stay here, we were so thrilled to have participated in exciting volleyball competitions, inspiring lectures and wonderful field trips. Not only have we developed friendship, but also we have improved our culture awareness.
So my dear friends, I want to tell you that this is just the beginning of our friendship. We believe that it will continue to flourish in the future. Thank you!
67．范文
Paragraph 1: In the cupboard, several paper cups and a jar of marmalade caught our sight. I reached for the jar, remembering my mother’s encounter with the skunk years ago. Could it be that this was indeed Marmalade, returning to our home in search of a familiar treat Hurriedly, I dumped a teaspoon of marmalade into each paper cup, hoping to lure the skunk out of the attic. Hearts pounding in anticipation, we set one cup on the back porch, one just inside the back door, and one every few feet all the way up to the attic. The skunk seemed intrigued, slowly creeping towards the first cup. His nose twitched, and then he began to lick the sweet treat.
Paragraph 2: Rob and I followed the skunk as he ate his way down the stairs. He seemed to have grown accustomed to our presence, no longer trembling, and even appeared to enjoy the treat. As he finished gobbling the last bit of the marmalade, he turned and looked at us, those big brown eyes seemingly showing his gratitude. Without another scratch or sign of aggression, he turned and gracefully made his way out of the house, disappearing into the rainy morning. We stood there, amazed and in complete awe of the remarkable encounter. Later, when I shared the story with my mother, she smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, that’s Marmalade. He always knows where to find a warm heart and a jar of marmalade.”
