On the first night of the new moon, I stand beneath an inky expanse of sky at a Northern California campsite. The darkness is so profound that my outstretched hand vanishes before my eyes. It’s not just an absence of light I’m experiencing: the darkness feels tangible, with a weight and texture of its own.
The most well-known benefit of the darkness is the role it plays in releasing melatonin (褪黑素). This critical hormone doesn’t just help us sleep, but can also reduce DNA damage by boosting the body’s own genetic repair machinery. Evidence also reveals that the magic we feel in the darkness is closely associated with better mental health.
My own fascination with the dark began in October of 2022, when I found myself floating in a raft (木筏) in the Arctic Sea. Our expedition guide had motored our rubber raft away from the artificial lights of our larger ship, turned the outer engine off, and instructed us to be silent. My shipmates and I looked up into the enormous night sky as stars moved in the black space above. The darkness was so dense that I couldn’t tell up from down, or where the night sky ended, and the inky sea began.
I felt a surge of positive feelings flowing through me as I gazed at the stars on that dark Arctic night.
The experience changed my relationship to darkness. As someone who’d always enjoyed the idea of going to bed early to get a good night’s sleep, I decided to turn off artificial lights and electronic devices earlier in the evening. I also began wondering what “dose” of dark each night was ideal for my health.
Artists, poets and songwriters have long understood our fear of the dark as well as the comfort it can bring us. For me, it’s the Simon & Garfunkel hit song, The Sound of Silence — which starts off with the line “Hello darkness, my old friend” — that captures the essence of why escaping the light is necessary at times. It reminds us that some of our most profound moments of healing and insight happen in the dark.
24．Which of the following statements about darkness is NOT TRUE
A．It can better our sleep quality. B．It can improve our mental health.
C．It can protect us from DNA damage. D．It can change our damaged genes.
25．What does the Arctic experience show about the author
A．He initially feared total darkness. B．He discovered a new scientific phenomenon.
C．He regretted joining the expedition. D．His perception of darkness shifted greatly.
26．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．We should escape the light all the time.
B．Artists, poets and songwriters fear darkness.
C．Darkness brings some beautiful moments to us.
D．The Sound of Silence captures the essence of light.
27．Which can be the best title of the passage
A．My Arctic Adventure: A Night Under the Stars.
B．Beyond Fear: The Unseen Benefits of Darkness.
C．Art and Science: How Darkness Heals Us.
D．Melatonin: Nature’s Repair Mechanism.
Are you a short video app user Chances are that you’re more familiar with 15-second sped-up clips of songs than with the original tracks themselves. This trend has been evident on social media platforms, notably Douyin and TikTok, where creators boost the rhythm by 25-30 percent to match short viral videos featuring dances or other themes.
These altered versions have even pushed some musicians to the top of official singles charts. As a Radio l Anthems host told the BBC, although sped-up versions of songs can help artists go viral, that initial success may not last This isn’t just about music. Social media users also accelerate podcasts, movies, etc. for quicker consumption. The sped-up mode provides a faster way to achieve the dopamine (多巴胺) rush that social media aims to spark, leading to addiction and influencing our actions.
While it seems efficient, speeding up content has significant drawbacks. “So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing, lighting, timing and music, and speeding that all up just ruins it,” a Reddit user commented. Another user also mentioned that if someone consumes content this way, their viewpoint of the movie or the song is not valid.
It seems that people speed up content not because they enjoy movies and songs but rather simply to complete the action of “watching” and “listening”. It’s as if they’re telling the creators: “I don’t have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle emotions you put into the work.” All they want is a quick general idea of “what’s going on” and a feeling of “wow, I just consumed another piece of information”.
Evidently, this approach weakens creators’ efforts and erodes people’s patience. However, people often fail to realize that this also destroys their patience with life. Beginning with sped-up songs and movies, it gradually creeps into daily life. A Chinese netizen once shared, “I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test,” highlighting how this habit extends to longer-term tasks.
We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. What’s the rush Some things should not be sped up, like our patience for beauty and hard work.
28．What might be a possible result of sped-up song versions on social media
A．They boost the popularity of original songs.
B．They decrease the consumption of short videos.
C．They lead musicians to top official singles charts.
D．They help musicians maintain long-term success.
29．From Reddit users’ perspectives, what impact does speeding up content have
A．It reduces audience’s appreciation level of art.
B．It enhances the dopamine rush for better mood.
C．It offers a more effective way to grasp the content.
D．It damages media’s works and devalues consumers’ views.
30．What does the underlined word “erodes” mean in Paragraph 5
A．Tests out. B．Uses up. C．Wears away. D．Calls for.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards the trend of speeding up content on social media
A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Objective. D．Ambiguous.
For more than 20 years, NASA instruments in space have tracked a growing imbalance in Earth’s solar energy budget, with more energy entering than leaving the planet. Much of that imbalance can be pinned on humanity’s emissions of greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere. But explaining the rest has been a challenge. “Nobody can get a number that’s even close,” says George Tselioudis, a climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
But Tselioudis and his team now explain the gap with data from a long-lived satellite, finding the world’s reflective cloud cover has shrunk, boosting global warming. Climate scientists need to figure out the causes of these cloud changes and whether the trend will accelerate warming in the future.
Clouds come in all shapes and sizes, but two of the most consistent cloud bands are formed by Earth’s large-scale airflow patterns. One band, near the equator, stretches around the planet like a belt. It forms as trade winds (信风) of the Northern and Southern hemispheres meet, forcing moist air upward to cool and turn into clouds. Another band occurs in the midlatitudes (中纬度), where jet streams bring stormy weather around the planet.
In August 2024, Tselioudis and his coauthors reported that over the 35 years covered by weather satellite imagery, the equatorial (赤道的) cloud bands had narrowed, while the tracks of midlatitude storms had shifted toward the poles, limiting the region in which they can form and shrinking their coverage. But the result, published in Climate Dynamics, was pieced together from many different satellites, each with its own features and errors, which made the researchers unsure whether the small trends they detected were real.
The same models that predict a narrowing of the equatorial storm belt also suggest climate change will cause air over the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm faster than the west, weakening an important branch of the large-scale circulation. But for the past few decades, the eastern Pacific has actually been cooling, strengthening these winds instead. Other observations, meanwhile, suggest the rest of the circulation is weakening. The confusion makes it hard to know whether the cloud bands will continue to shrink as the world warms.
32．What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss
A．Two global cloud bands and their formation processes.
B．How different latitudes affect cloud shapes and sizes.
C．The connection between weather and cloud formations.
D．The role of earth’s atmosphere in creating cloud patterns.
33．What does “pieced together” in Paragraph 4 convey
A．The equatorial cloud seemed isolated.
B．The research data may lack reliability.
C．The research originated from joint efforts.
D．The observation used advanced techniques.
34．Which phenomenon contradicts climate models’ predictions
A．The expansion of the cloud bands. B．The strengthening of trade winds.
C．The cooling of the eastern Pacific. D．The weakening of the circulation.
35．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A．To explain how greenhouse gases influence global warming.
B．To show the importance of satellite imagery in climate research.
C．To present the potential impact of global solar energy imbalance.
D．To introduce a new possible reason for Earth’s energy imbalance.
Helping people in need is a great way to make the world a better place. From the smallest acts of kindness to global humanitarian efforts, there are numerous ways in which you can help out your fellow humans.Donate money or supplies to an organization.
Making a donation is one of the easiest and most effective ways to help others. 36 You may even have some unused items sitting around your home that could go to someone in need, like your unneeded furniture and clothing.Participate in local or online fundraising efforts.
If you don’t have the money or goods to donate yourself, assist in fundraising resources from the people who do. Offer to help with fundraising for a local organization or business, or set up your own fundraiser. You can also spread the word about online fundraisers by sharing posts on social media. 37
Use your platform to raise awareness for social issues.
Will you use social media and feel comfortable posting about political and social issues on your account 38 You can spread important messages and increase the number of people who care about and contribute to a cause. Advocate for causes by sharing stories, fact-checked information, and routes for others to mobilize resources and take action. 39
There’s nothing wrong with deciding to help out others in a reactive way—for instance, donating money in response to a current emergency like a natural disaster, or political conflict. However, it’s equally important to consistently practice the skills to help others. For example, consider getting trained in CPR and other first aid methods.
40 Start with the simple things like holding the door for someone or offering a genuine compliment. Just take actions!
A．Commit to reactive actions.
B．Be active about gaining the skills.
C．Using your voice online can be a powerful way.
D．However, money isn’t the only thing that you can donate.
E．So, the next time you see a GoFundMe, just click “Share!”
F．Helping others doesn’t need to include novel ideas or grand gestures.
G．It can be difficult to know exactly how to begin actively helping others.

六、书面表达
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was still light out and Dad wasn’t home yet. He worked all day cleaning pools. Mom told us we needed to wait for Dad so all of us could eat dinner together. It meant I could spend more time outside playing basketball with my brother.
Before COVID (新冠肺炎), there had been more money to spend and life had been normal. Dad had bought us a backboard and hoop (篮筐) and had paid someone to install a tall metal pole on the side of the driveway so we could have our own basketball court.
We came pretty close to spending as much of the day as we could on the court. We practiced all sorts of shots, holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket. It felt like magic — all the problems of the world seemed to fade away — and I felt like I was the magician making the magic happen each time I arced the ball (投篮) toward the basket and watched it fly toward its destination.
Dad once told me he had felt pretty much the same way about cleaning pools. It had been like being a magician, he said, turning the water from cloudy to clear. Lately, though, it didn’t seem like Dad had seen a lot of magic anywhere. He told us he’d lost some customers to COVID, to job losses.
I heard the familiar engine clunk-clunking-click. It was earlier than when Dad usually arrived home. “Hi guys!” Dad said as he got off the car. His shoulders sank heavily, and he couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes. He stood a moment by the side of the car to stretch his arms and catch his breath, and for a moment he closed his eyes. In that moment his face was caught in the fading rays of the sun, and the light revealed a lot more wrinkles than I remembered. He might have thought of himself as a magician with water, but he couldn’t make these worry lines on his forehead or the new wrinkles around his eyes disappear.

1.续写词数应为150左右；

Para 1 “Want to shoot a few hoops, Dad ” I asked, thinking it might cheer him up.

【原文】W: Hey, Billy! Are you ready for soccer tryouts after school
M: Yeah, I worked hard at a gym this summer to get into shape for the season. But there are a lot of solid players trying out. So I might have a slight chance of making the team.

M: Well, I am a little concerned that the photos that are taken in the kitchen aren’t visually appealing for social media.
W: Hmm... Okay. I didn’t think about the photos taken in the kitchen. Maybe we shouldn’t use those.
M: Okay. But I am also not sure of the prices of the items, as they are different at each location.
W: I will take care of finding out about that. How does that sound
M: That should solve all of my problems for now.
W: All the new menu items will be launched next Friday, right Maybe we should wait to post the pictures until then.
M: That sounds like a great plan. It gives us more time to ensure everything is perfect.

【原文】M: Why did you retire from athletics, Gemma
W: I’d achieved several medals for coming second and third in world events and felt I had the ability to keep on going. And I had been lucky enough not to pick up too many injuries. But the truth was, I was fed up with living out of a suitcase all over the world for my job.
M: Fair enough. And was it easy to adjust to life after retirement
W: Initially, no. And after I’d had a rest, I started applying for paid jobs. I needed something to do to distract me from thinking about the good things about being an athlete.
M: So was it easy with your background to find a job
W: Not at all. When employers looked at my résumé, there was no evidence that I was capable of doing the job they were advertising.
M: But eventually someone took you on and then five years later, you set up your own company to help retired sportspeople. Was the business an immediate success
W: Not in the very early days. But I didn’t give up. I always had a reputation for being a strong person when I was an athlete. What kept me going most of all was the knowledge that my business would meet a real need.
18．C 19．B 20．C
【原文】M: Hello everyone. Nowadays more and more people start a podcast channel. There are around 30 million podcast episodes out there, so making sure that your podcast draws in your listeners is more important than ever. Having engaging content throughout each show is essential. Studies have shown that podcasts lose 28 percent of listeners on average in the first five minutes, which is about 10 percent higher than the drop-off rate for the midsection of the episode. A great podcast opening should show new listeners who you are, what your podcast is about, and why they should listen. But, at the same time, it needs to engage your existing audience. The best podcast openings are unique to each episode and include a preview of later content. They often include special music or sound effects. Many also have some Call-To-Action remarks, such as “Follow us for daily tips and inspiration!” This could be encouraging listeners to follow you on the podcast platform.

(这种关键的激素不仅能帮助我们入睡，还能通过增强人体自身的基因修复机制来减少 DNA 损伤。)”可知，黑暗有助于睡眠，并能通过增强身体自身的基因修复机制来减少DNA损伤。根据第二段“Evidence also reveals that the magic we feel in the darkness is closely associated with better mental health.( 研究结果还表明，在黑暗中所产生的那种神奇的感觉与良好的心理健康状况有着密切的关联。)”可知，黑暗与更好的心理健康有关。而D项“It can change our damaged genes.(它可以改变我们受损的基因)”未提及；因此D项说法不正确。故选D项。
25．推理判断题。根据第五段“The experience changed my relationship to darkness.( 这段经历改变了我对黑暗的看法。)”可知，这次北极的经历极大地改变了作者对黑暗的看法和感受。以及本段中“As someone who’d always enjoyed the idea of going to bed early to get a good night’s sleep, I decided to turn off artificial lights and electronic devices earlier in the evening. I also began wondering what “dose” of dark each night was ideal for my health.( 作为一个一直喜欢早睡以获得充足睡眠的人，我决定在晚上更早的时候关掉人造灯光和电子设备。同时，我也开始思考每晚适宜的黑暗程度对我的健康究竟有多重要。)”可知，作者之前可能也重视睡眠，但这次经历让他更加关注黑暗本身对健康的作用，从而主动减少夜间人造光源的使用，并思考理想的黑暗“剂量”。这表明他对黑暗的感知发生了巨大的转变。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Artists, poets and songwriters have long understood our fear of the dark as well as the comfort it can bring us. (艺术家、诗人和词曲作者们早就深知我们对黑暗的恐惧，以及它能给我们带来的慰藉。)”可知，黑暗既能带来恐惧也能带来慰藉。再根据该段最后一句“It reminds us that some of our most profound moments of healing and insight happen in the dark.( 这让我们明白，我们那些最为深刻的成长与顿悟时刻往往发生在黑暗之中。)”可知，黑暗能带来深刻的疗愈和洞察时刻，这些可以被视为美好的时刻。故选C项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章描述了黑暗的深邃感，接着阐述了黑暗的科学益处（褪黑素、睡眠、DNA保护、心理健康），然后通过作者的北极经历，展示了黑暗带来的深刻情感体验以及个人态度的转变，最后引用艺术作品来强调黑暗在疗愈和顿悟方面的重要作用。选项B“Beyond Fear: The Unseen Benefits of Darkness(超越恐惧：黑暗的无形益处)”最全面、最准确地概括了文章主旨。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体中加速播放内容的现象及其对艺术创作和观众耐心的负面影响。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“This trend has been evident on social media platforms, notably Douyin and TikTok, where creators boost the rhythm by 25-30 percent to match short viral videos featuring dances or other themes.(这一趋势在社交媒体平台上显而易见，尤其是在抖音和TikTok上，创作者将节奏提高了25-30%，以配合以舞蹈或其他主题为特色的热门短视频)”以及第二段中“These altered versions have even pushed some musicians to the top of official singles charts.(这些修改后的版本甚至将一些音乐家推上了官方单曲排行榜的榜首)”可知，加速版歌曲可能会让音乐人登上官方单曲排行榜榜首。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中““So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing, lighting, timing and music, and speeding that all up just ruins it,” a Reddit user commented. Another user also mentioned that if someone consumes content this way, their viewpoint of the movie or the song is not valid.(一位Reddit用户评论道：“很多人都在节奏、灯光、时机和音乐方面费尽心思做了细致的设计，而把这一切都加速播放只会毁掉它。”另一位用户也提到，要是有人以这种方式消费内容，他们对这部电影或这首歌的看法是站不住脚的)”可知，从Reddit用户的角度来看，加速内容会破坏媒体作品并贬低消费者的观点。故选D。
30．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Evidently, this approach weakens creators’ efforts and erodes people’s patience.(显然，这种方法削弱了创作者的努力，_____了人们的耐心)”可知，这种方法削弱了创作者的努力，并且对人们的耐心产生了负面影响，即逐渐削弱或磨损了人们的耐心，“erodes”与“破坏、削弱”意思相近，“Wears away(逐渐磨损)”符合语境。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. What’s the rush Some things should not be sped up, like our patience for beauty and hard work.(我们已经生活在一个快节奏的社会中，但我们仍然试图在各个方面加速它。急什么呢？有些事情不应该加速，比如我们对美和努力的耐心)”可推知，作者对社交媒体上加速内容的趋势持否定态度。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要探讨了地球太阳能收支不平衡问题。在已知人类排放温室气体导致部分失衡的基础上，介绍了科学家新发现的可能原因—— 全球反射性云层覆盖减少，并对相关云层变化及与气候模型预测的矛盾等进行阐述。
32．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Clouds come in all shapes and sizes, but two of the most consistent cloud bands are formed by Earth’s large - scale airflow patterns. One band, near the equator, stretches around the planet like a belt. It forms as trade winds (信风) of the Northern and Southern hemispheres meet, forcing moist air upward to cool and turn into clouds. Another band occurs in the midlatitudes (中纬度), where jet streams bring stormy weather around the planet.(云有各种形状和大小，但有两个最稳定的云带是由地球的大规模气流模式形成的。一个云带靠近赤道，像一条带子一样环绕着地球。它是由南北半球的信风相遇形成的，迫使潮湿的空气上升冷却并变成云。另一个云带出现在中纬度地区，那里的急流带来全球性的暴风雨天气)” 可知，该段主要讨论了两个全球云带及其形成过程。故选A。
33．推理判断题。根据第四段“But the result, published in Climate Dynamics, was pieced together from many different satellites, each with its own features and errors, which made the researchers unsure whether the small trends they detected were real.(但发表在《气候动力学》上的这一结果是由许多不同的卫星拼凑而成的，每颗卫星都有其自身的特点和误差，这使得研究人员不确定他们检测到的小趋势是否真实)” 可知，由于数据来自多种有不同特点和误差的卫星，所以这些数据拼凑起来，其可靠性存疑。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段 “The same models that predict a narrowing of the equatorial storm belt also suggest climate change will cause air over the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm faster than the west, weakening an important branch of the large-scale circulation. But for the past few decades, the eastern Pacific has actually been cooling, strengthening these winds instead.(预测赤道风暴带变窄的相同模型也表明，气候变化将导致东太平洋上空的空气比西太平洋上空的空气升温更快，从而削弱大规模环流的一个重要分支。但在过去几十年里，东太平洋实际上一直在降温，反而加强了这些风)” 可知，东太平洋的冷却与气候模型预测的东太平洋空气升温更快相矛盾。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据第一段“For more than 20 years, NASA instruments in space have tracked a growing imbalance in Earth’s solar energy budget, with more energy entering than leaving the planet. Much of that imbalance can be pinned on humanity’s emissions of greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere. But explaining the rest has been a challenge.(20 多年来，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的太空仪器一直在追踪地球太阳能收支中日益加剧的不平衡，进入地球的能量多于离开地球的能量。这种不平衡在很大程度上可归因于人类排放的温室气体，这些气体在大气中捕获热量。但解释其余部分一直是个挑战)” 可知，地球存在太阳能收支不平衡问题，且已知部分原因，还有待解释的部分，为下文引出新原因做铺垫。根据第二段“But Tselioudis and his team now explain the gap with data from a long - lived satellite, finding the world’s reflective cloud cover has shrunk, boosting global warming. Climate scientists need to figure out the causes of these cloud changes and whether the trend will accelerate warming in the future.(但 Tselioudis 和他的团队现在用一颗长期运行的卫星数据解释了这一差距，发现全球反射性云层覆盖面积缩小，加剧了全球变暖。气候科学家需要弄清楚这些云层变化的原因，以及这种趋势未来是否会加速变暖)” 可知，明确指出 Tselioudis 团队发现云层覆盖缩小这一可能导致地球能量不平衡的新因素。所以文章先提出地球太阳能收支不平衡存在待解释部分，接着阐述 Tselioudis 团队发现云层覆盖变化这一新因素，下文围绕此展开相关讨论，所以作者写作目的是介绍地球能量不平衡的新可能原因。故选D 。

66．One possible version:
The Habit That Benefits Me Most
Our school recently conducted a survey on The Habit That Benefits Me Most. 30% of the students surveyed consider daily reading the most beneficial, while 26% and 23% students choose regular exercise and effective time management respectively, with the rest 21% viewing maintaining a balanced diet as the most important habit.
All these habits are of great value. Personally, I am convinced that effective time management yields the greatest benefits for me. As high school students, striking a balance between academics, personal interests, and adequate rest proves exceptionally challenging. By planning my schedule wisely, I am able to accomplish tasks efficiently and allocate dedicated time for self-improvement.
Cultivating this habit is obviously rewarding and I believe it will undoubtedly be invaluable for my future study and professional pursuits.
67．One possible version:
“Want to shoot a few hoops, Dad ” I asked, thinking it might cheer him up. “Sure,” he said, opening his eyes and smiling a weary smile. “We still have a little time before dinner, don’t we ” The three of us decided to shoot foul shots from the edge of the driveway to see who went first. Dad’s first shot arched beautifully, swishing through the net with that perfect “swoosh” sound we both loved. “Beginner’s luck!” I teased, “Watch this one!” But my shot was off target. Dad grabbed the rebound with surprising agility. “Pressure goes to you, champ ” He winked, lining up his next shot—another nothing-but-net. “Whoa, what a shot!” Dad said. He did a little victory dance, lifting his hands and waving them over his head. “Best of five ” I challenged, secretly thrilled to see his real smile emerge — the one that crinkled his eyes and showed his slightly crooked tooth. Just as he was about to take his third shot, Mom’s voice cut through our laughter that dinner was ready.
“Another shot tomorrow!” Dad said, “Mom is waiting for us to have dinner now.” So, the three of us headed upstairs for dinner. Dad gave my shoulder a firm squeeze, his calloused palm lingering for a second longer than usual. “Thanks, kid.” he murmured, the roughness in his voice betraying something deeper than words could say. I noticed his shoulders seemed less burdened and his steps more relaxed. The time we’ d spent on the driveway — laughing, missing shots, celebrating the occasional swish — had done something I hadn’t seen in months: they’d brought him back to himself. When he was happy it felt like everything fit into place, including the basketball, which dropped through the net without even touching the basket. The pandemic may have taken Father’s clients and income, but when he stood before the fading backboard and released that perfect arc, we recognized once more the magician with light in his eyes.
