Sofie Roux, 26, was on a work trip to Malawi with her physician parents in 2019 when she befriended a girl named Faith. Their relation was close over their love of art and their future dreams: Roux wanted to be an architect; Faith, an animator (动画设计师 ). But Faith’s school had no electricity — let alone the technology to teach computer animation.
Roux, who grew up spending her summers in Africa, had raised funds for computers to make STEAM —
science, technology, engineering, arts, and math — education in Africa more accessible. The lack of electricity at Faith’s school showed another difficulty. At 16, Roux found herself in her backyard designing and building a
computer lab inside a recycled shipping container. She named the creation a BloomBox (绽放盒子). Roux filled the lab with computing equipment, and then topped it with a solar roof for dependable power.
In the summer of 2021, Roux took it to Faith’s high school in Blantyre, Malawi. Once introduced, the BloomBox caught the attention of the Malawi Ministry of Education. “They want everyone to be very technologically literate (通晓的) by 2063,” Roux says, “and that starts with making sure that young people have contact with technology and creative maker spaces.” The ministry agreed a plan to build 70 more labs across the country.
To enlarge, however, Roux and a team of 30 professionals needed to solve problems of productivity, safety, and transportation to faraway communities. BloomBox Design Labs formed in 2023 as a public benefit company after moving all production to Malawi and South Africa to bring down costs, reduce transport time, and hire local workers.
Today, Roux’s friend Faith studies art and design at the University of Malawi. When Roux finishes the 70 planned labs, they will reach 200,000 students so that their love of learning can bloom.
Why did the close relationship between Roux and Faith form
They had similar backgrounds. B. They shared a similar passion.
C. They grew up in the same place. D. They aimed for the same career.
In what sense can a BloomBox be a solution to Faith’s school
It runs quickly. B. It’s easy to operate.
C. It can power itself. D. It includes computers.
What’s the basic condition for the goal of the Ministry of Education
Training STEAM teachers. B. Ensuring technology access.
C. Securing government funding. D. Establishing 70 BloomBoxes.
What’s the best title for the text
Big Things Bloom in Small Spaces B. A BloomBox Changes a Malawi Girl
C. STEAM Education Spreads in Africa D. Small Labs Benefit the Whole Africa
(★)C
One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle (小猎犬). I had recently
had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story, about a dog who,like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on until my lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a Ph.D. in literature and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
What did the mother order the author to do at the age of 12
To borrow books in the library. B. To defeat his classmates.
C. To read books in the library. D. To learn to keep pets.
Why did the author choose the book of the Beagle
Because it was a story of his beagle.
Because it presented a picture of a beagle.
Because he could read the book without difficulties.
Because the beagle on the cover looked the same as his dog.
What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A This book’s hero is the author.
The author missed his beagle very much.
The author and his beagle will run together.
The author’s dog returned to the owner’s family.
What does the author want to tell us in the end
He is proud of his dog.
He has owned thousands of books.
We can never ignore the charm of a book.
We should care more about animals forever.
D
Port disruptions (中断) are costly, very costly. While the 2011 Tohoku tsunami caused around $ 12 billion in damage, the port disruptions resulted in a huge loss in trade relying on sea transport. However. tsunamis are rarely considered in port planning or structural design.
In response, a group of researchers has developed a framework (准则) to judge tsunami risk. The framework estimates potential economic losses in trade caused by port disruptions while also analyzing the following effect it would have on the global port network, including the ramifications for shipping routes and ports not directly
affected by physical damage.
Constance Chua, a researcher at Tohoku University, led the study. “We applied our framework to the South China Sea, focusing on a potential tsunami scene caused by an activity of the Manila Trench (马尼拉海沟),” says Chua. “We also considered tsunami conditions under future sea level rises.” In total, Chua and her colleagues evaluated 104 scenes, thanks to the help of international experts from various fields, such as Dr. Tanghua Li, a geophysicist at the Earth Observatory of Singapore who specializes in sea-level rise modeling in Asia. Each expert contributed the latest knowledge and models on different fields, ensuring a broad base of factors was considered.
The study found that a Manila Trench tsunami could damage up to 11 international seaports under present-day sea-level conditions and up to 15 ports by 2100. In the most severely damaged locations, port closures (关闭) could last over 200 days. However, the length of closure did not always translate into the greatest economic loss. Ports with higher annual goods would suffer more from economic damage. The busy ports of Hong Kong, Manila, and Gaoxiong experienced the highest trade losses across all scenes.
Chua says that a Manila Trench tsunami could cause greater damage to global trade than past events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the costly 2011 Tohoku tsunami. “Since South China hosts some of the busiest ports and sea routes, the number of disrupted shipping routes would far exceed previous tsunami events. Given the lack of consideration given to tsunami impacts, our study could help prepare for such events.”
Why did the researchers conduct the study
Ports are quite important for global trade. B. Effects of Tohoku tsunami haven’t gone away.
C. They want to promote global commerce. D. Tsunamis are seldom factored into port design.
What does the underlined word “ramifications” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Origins. B. Benefits. C. Consequences. D. Improvements.
What did the study find about a Manila Trench tsunami
Sea level rises will worsen tsunami damage. B. Affected ports will close for 200 days.
C. Longer closures mean more financial loss. D. Study results are similar in most scenes.
Why will a Manila Trench tsunami cause larger damage to global trade
It will damage more ports physically. B. Affected areas matter in global trade.
C. This tsunami is extremely powerful. D. The preparations aren’t sufficient.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, I was traveling from one state capital to another on my own after visiting family. On the first leg of the journey, I caught a bus to a small country town roughly halfway into the twelve-hour trip, had an
hour-and-fifteen-minute break, and then got a train the rest of the way.
On the bus trip, I made friends with a twenty-one-year-old lady Lucy who was six months pregnant and two women in their mid-twenties-all making the same trip. When we arrived at the country train station, we were told that we could not board for another forty-five minutes. We were advised to go to a popular takeaway place but to make sure we were back at least fifteen minutes before departure time. So, the four of us headed off to get something to eat, making sure we were back right at the time we’d been told we could board the train. However, just after we finished eating something, Lucy suddenly had a serious stomachache. She was pale and sweating. The two ladies and I immediately asked her what was wrong, but she could barely speak through the pain.
I saw a sign for a medical center not too far from the takeaway place. Without hesitation, we started to support her as we made our way back towards the medical center. As we got there, we rushed her inside. The staff took her
in right away, and we had to wait anxiously in the waiting room. Every passing minute made me more and more
aware that our train was getting closer and closer to its departure time.
After what felt like ages, a doctor told us that Lucy had some kind of stomach problem but was okay then.
Then we returned to the station, only to find that the train had already left. We asked the station manager, who is a woman in her forties, to see if we could get new tickets or find out about the next available train. Unfortunately, the next train wasn’t until the following day, and there were no other practical options for getting to our destination that night. We decided to find a hotel to stay at but we didn’t have enough money, because non-members must pay a big deposit (押金). What’s worse, there was no mobile payment there. We were really very disappointed and worried.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 个左右;
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We stood outside, looking at each other with worried expressions.
We thanked the station manager and promised to return the money as we got home.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle (小猎犬). I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story, about a dog who,like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on until my lost dog and I were, in my mind,
running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a Ph.D. in literature and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
What did the mother order the author to do at the age of 12
To borrow books in the library. B. To defeat his classmates.
C. To read books in the library. D. To learn to keep pets.
Why did the author choose the book of the Beagle
Because it was a story of his beagle.
Because it presented a picture of a beagle.
Because he could read the book without difficulties.
Because the beagle on the cover looked the same as his dog.
What can be inferred from paragraph 4
This book’s hero is the author.
The author missed his beagle very much.
The author and his beagle will run together.
The author’s dog returned to the owner’s family.
What does the author want to tell us in the end
He is proud of his dog.
He has owned thousands of books.
We can never ignore the charm of a book.
We should care more about animals forever.

Port disruptions (中断) are costly, very costly. While the 2011 Tohoku tsunami caused around $ 12 billion in damage, the port disruptions resulted in a huge loss in trade relying on sea transport. However. tsunamis are rarely considered in port planning or structural design.
In response, a group of researchers has developed a framework (准则) to judge tsunami risk. The framework estimates potential economic losses in trade caused by port disruptions while also analyzing the following effect it would have on the global port network, including the ramifications for shipping routes and ports not directly
affected by physical damage.
Constance Chua, a researcher at Tohoku University, led the study. “We applied our framework to the South China Sea, focusing on a potential tsunami scene caused by an activity of the Manila Trench (马尼拉海沟),” says Chua. “We also considered tsunami conditions under future sea level rises.” In total, Chua and her colleagues evaluated 104 scenes, thanks to the help of international experts from various fields, such as Dr. Tanghua Li, a geophysicist at the Earth Observatory of Singapore who specializes in sea-level rise modeling in Asia. Each expert contributed the latest knowledge and models on different fields, ensuring a broad base of factors was considered.
The study found that a Manila Trench tsunami could damage up to 11 international seaports under present-day sea-level conditions and up to 15 ports by 2100. In the most severely damaged locations, port closures (关闭) could last over 200 days. However, the length of closure did not always translate into the greatest economic loss. Ports with higher annual goods would suffer more from economic damage. The busy ports of Hong Kong, Manila, and Gaoxiong experienced the highest trade losses across all scenes.
Chua says that a Manila Trench tsunami could cause greater damage to global trade than past events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the costly 2011 Tohoku tsunami. “Since South China hosts some of the busiest ports and sea routes, the number of disrupted shipping routes would far exceed previous tsunami events. Given the lack of consideration given to tsunami impacts, our study could help prepare for such events.”
Why did the researchers conduct the study
Ports are quite important for global trade. B. Effects of Tohoku tsunami haven’t gone away.
C. They want to promote global commerce. D. Tsunamis are seldom factored into port design.
What does the underlined word “ramifications” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Origins. B. Benefits. C. Consequences. D. Improvements.
What did the study find about a Manila Trench tsunami
Sea level rises will worsen tsunami damage. B. Affected ports will close for 200 days.
C. Longer closures mean more financial loss. D. Study results are similar in most scenes.
Why will a Manila Trench tsunami cause larger damage to global trade
It will damage more ports physically. B. Affected areas matter in global trade.
C. This tsunami is extremely powerful. D. The preparations aren’t sufficient.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员开发框架评估马尼拉海沟海啸对港口及全球贸易风险和影响。
【12 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Port disruptions (中断) are costly, very costly. While the 2011 Tohoku tsunami caused around $ 12 billion in damage, the port disruptions resulted in a huge loss in trade relying on sea transport.
However. tsunamis are rarely considered in port planning or structural design.(港口运营中断代价高昂,且损失巨大。2011 年日本东北部海啸虽造成了约 120 亿美元的损失,但港口运营中断所导致的依赖海运的贸易损失更是难以估量。然而,在港口规划或结构设计时,海啸却极少被纳入考量范围。)”可知,研究人员进行这项研究是因为海啸很少被纳入港口设计考虑因素。故选 D。
【13 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The framework estimates potential economic losses in trade caused by port disruptions while also analyzing the following effect it would have on the global port network, including the ramifications for shipping routes and ports not directly affected by physical damage.(该框架估计了港口中断造成 的贸易潜在经济损失,同时还分析了其对全球港口网络的后续 ramifications,包括对航运路线和未直接受到物理损害的港口的影响。)”可知,该框架除了分析港口中断造成的贸易潜在经济损失,还分析其对全球港口网络的后续影响,包括对航运路线和未直接受到物理损害的港口的影响,所以 ramifications 意思是“影响,后果”,与 Consequences 意思相近。故选 C。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The study found that a Manila Trench tsunami could damage up to 11 international seaports under present-day sea-level conditions and up to 15 ports by 2100.(研究发现,在目前的海平面条件下,马尼拉海沟海啸可能会破坏多达 11 个国际海港,到 2100 年可能会破坏多达 15 个港口。)”可知,研究发现海平面上升会加剧海啸的破坏。故选 A。
【15 题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since South China hosts some of the busiest ports and sea routes, the number of disrupted shipping routes would far exceed previous tsunami events.(由于中国南部拥有一些最繁忙的港口和航线,受影响的航运路线数量将远远超过以往的海啸事件。)”可知,马尼拉海沟海啸会对全球贸易造成更大破坏是因为受影响地区在全球贸易中很重要。故选 B。

考查非谓语动词。句意:故宫在冬季显得格外神奇,当薄薄的一层雪覆盖在屋顶上时,使得金色的砖瓦更加明亮耀眼。句中谓语是 appears,空格处用非谓语动词,snow 和 cover 之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词作后置定语。故填 covering。
【43 题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,现代技术已被用于保护和修复这一古老的杰作。由 In recent years可知,句子时态用现在完成时,现代技术是被使用,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,即 have/has been done,主语 technologies 是复数,因此空格处是 have been used。故填 have been used。
【44 题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:近年来,现代技术已被用于保护和修复这一古老的杰作。century 是可数名词,此处表示泛指,前面无不定冠词,因此空格处用复数 centuries。故填 centuries。
【45 题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于那些热爱历史和建筑的人来说,参观故宫是必不可少的。visit 是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,visit 发音以辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用 a 修饰。故填 a。

Dear Editor,

Yours, Li Hua
【答案】【参考范文一】
Dear Editor,
When it comes to getting news, I prefer to use the Internet rather than newspapers.
The main reason is that online news is more timely. With just a few clicks, I can get the latest information anytime and anywhere, which is impossible for newspapers that need printing and distribution. Besides, the Internet offers a wider range of news. I can easily access news from different fields and sources, helping me form a comprehensive view. What’s more, online news is often interactive, allowing me to read comments and share my opinions, which makes the process of getting news more engaging.
That’s why I choose Internet as my main news source.
Yours, Li Hua
【参考范文二】
Dear Editor,
When it comes to getting news, I prefer to use newspapers rather than the Internet.
For me, newspapers offer a more reliable and focused way to get information. The news in newspapers is usually carefully edited and verified by professional journalists, which means I can trust the accuracy of the content. Unlike the Internet, where news often comes in a flood of fragmented information, newspapers arrange articles in a clear structure, making it easier for me to read and understand important events without being distracted by pop-up ads or irrelevant links.
Moreover, reading newspapers is a peaceful experience. I can take my time to think about the news while
flipping through the pages, which helps me form my own opinions. That’s why I choose newspapers as my main
news source.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Years ago, I was traveling from one state capital to another on my own after visiting family. On the first leg of the journey, I caught a bus to a small country town roughly halfway into the twelve-hour trip, had an
hour-and-fifteen-minute break, and then got a train the rest of the way.
On the bus trip, I made friends with a twenty-one-year-old lady Lucy who was six months pregnant and two women in their mid-twenties-all making the same trip. When we arrived at the country train station, we were told that we could not board for another forty-five minutes. We were advised to go to a popular takeaway place but to make sure we were back at least fifteen minutes before departure time. So, the four of us headed off to get something to eat, making sure we were back right at the time we’d been told we could board the train. However, just after we finished eating something, Lucy suddenly had a serious stomachache. She was pale and sweating. The
two ladies and I immediately asked her what was wrong, but she could barely speak through the pain.
I saw a sign for a medical center not too far from the takeaway place. Without hesitation, we started to support her as we made our way back towards the medical center. As we got there, we rushed her inside. The staff took her in right away, and we had to wait anxiously in the waiting room. Every passing minute made me more and more aware that our train was getting closer and closer to its departure time.
After what felt like ages, a doctor told us that Lucy had some kind of stomach problem but was okay then.
Then we returned to the station, only to find that the train had already left. We asked the station manager, who is a woman in her forties, to see if we could get new tickets or find out about the next available train. Unfortunately, the next train wasn’t until the following day, and there were no other practical options for getting to our destination that night. We decided to find a hotel to stay at but we didn’t have enough money, because non-members must pay a big deposit (押金). What’s worse, there was no mobile payment there. We were really very disappointed and worried.

We stood outside, looking at each other with worried expressions.
We thanked the station manager and promised to return the money as we got home.
【答案】【参考范文】
We stood outside, looking at each other with worried expressions. Just then, the station manager approached
us. After knowing what had happened, she said she admired our kindness and couldn’t bear to see us in such a difficult situation. She offered to lend us some money to cover the hotel expenses for the night. We were shocked
and deeply touched by her generosity. We hesitated at first, not wanting to accept money from a stranger, but she insisted, saying it was the least she could do to help. So, we gratefully accepted her offer and found a simple but clean hotel nearby.
We thanked the station manager and promised to return the money as we got home. She just smiled. That night,
we stayed with Lucy, taking care of her and making sure she was comfortable. The next day, we finally reached our destination. I immediately sent the money back to the station manager along with a heartfelt thank-you letter. A few days later, I received a letter from her. She said that our act of helping Lucy had inspired her, and she was glad she could play a part in our journey. The experience made me realize that kindness could create a beautiful cycle and always finds a way to come back.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者与同行的孕妇 Lucy 及另外两位女士在乡村车站候车时,Lucy 突发腹痛,众人送医后错过火车,又因现金不足无法入住酒店,陷入困境。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“我们站在外面,面露忧色,彼此对视。”可知,第一段可以描写因突发状况陷入困境时的焦虑与无助,接着描写车站经理主动走近、了解情况后提出借钱帮助的情景,以及从犹豫到接受的心理转变过程。
②由第二段句首内容“我们感谢车站经理,并承诺一回到家就还钱。”可知,第二段可以描写兑现承诺的过程:到达目的地后立即还钱并附上感谢信,之后收到经理回信。最后通过叙述者的感悟,升华主题——善良具有传递性,一个善举能引发连锁反应,形成爱的循环。
续写线索:陷入困境——他人主动援助——内心感动与接受——承诺归还——兑现承诺并表达感谢——收到回信得知善举被传递——感悟善良的循环与力量
