I remember pening my iPad ne day in fifth grade after a silly cnversatin with my cusin abut scary stry ideas. Hurs later, I cmpleted my first shrt stry. Since then, I’ve written many stries, shrt and lng. But als, since then, I’ve read mre and nticed just hw well peple my age culd write. Since then, I als felt less and less willing t share my wrk:what if my writing isn’t as gd as everybdy else's? What started ff as smething creative that I culd share with friends turned int cmpetitin changed by feelings f cmpetence. Oftentimes, hbbies begin as smething just fr fun. But eventually, what was nce fun nw cntributes t feelings f stress and inadequacy. I have plenty f memries f thinking I was ging t pick up smething new and stick with it, whether it be playing the pian, r drawing. But there is always a part f me that expects myself t just magically be gd at all f thse things. And when I’m nt, the enjyment tapers ff as, slwly, I think medicrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymre.
Writing is the nly hbby that I have repeatedly cme back t despite drpping it cnstantly. I can see the grwth in my writing all these years, but the expectatins t be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drp writing fr mnths at a time. This feeling f a hbby becming, fr a lack f better wrd, a chre, lwers the satisfactin f said hbby.
But hbbies are there t give yu a breath f fresh air frm having t excel at everything, frm academics t yur ccupatin. We must accept that it is kay t just suck at an activity but still ding it because it brings yu jy. There is a balance between jy and expectatins, either set by thers r by urselves.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己从五年级开始写作，随着阅读增多，发现同龄人写作水平高，因担心自己写得不好而逐渐不愿分享作品，写作从创意分享变成竞争，还提到其他爱好也因期望过高而带来压力，最后指出爱好应带来快乐，要在快乐和期望间找到平衡。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“I remember pening my iPad ne day in fifth grade after a silly cnversatin with my cusin abut scary stry ideas. Hurs later, I cmpleted my first shrt stry. Since then, I’ve written many stries, shrt and lng. But als, since then, I’ve read mre and nticed just hw well peple my age culd write. Since then, I als felt less and less willing t share my wrk: what if my writing isn’t as gd as everybdy else’ s? What started ff as smething creative that I culd share with friends turned int cmpetitin changed by feelings f cmpetence.(我记得五年级的一天，在和表弟就恐怖故事创意进行了一次愚蠢的对话后，我打开了iPad。几个小时后，我完成了我的第一个短篇小说。从那以后，我写了很多短篇和长篇故事。但同样，从那以后，我读得更多，也注意到我这个年纪的人写作水平有多高。从那以后，我也越来越不愿意分享我的作品：如果我的写作不如其他人的好呢？原本是一件我可以和朋友分享的创意之事，却变成了因能力感而改变的竞争。)”可知，作者在第一段讲述了一段自己的经历。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“And when I’m nt, the enjyment … as, slwly, I think medicrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymre(当我不是这样的时候，随着慢慢地，我认为平庸不再被接受，这种乐趣就……了)”可知，当作者认为自己做得不好，认为平庸不再被接受时，乐趣就会减少，所以“tapers ff”意思是“减少”。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Writing is the nly hbby that I have repeatedly cme back t despite drpping it cnstantly. I can see the grwth in my writing all these years, but the expectatins t be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drp writing fr mnths at a time. This feeling f a hbby becming, fr a lack f better wrd, a chre, lwers the satisfactin f said hbby.(写作是我唯一一个不断放下却又反复捡起的爱好。这些年我能看到自己写作上的进步，但对越来越好的期望从未得到满足。这就是为什么我一次会放下写作好几个月。这种爱好变成了一种家务活的感觉，降低了这种爱好带来的满足感)”可知，这些年作者能看到自己写作上的进步，但对越来越好的期望从未得到满足，这就是为什么作者一次会放下写作好几个月，这种爱好变成了一种家务活的感觉，降低了这种爱好带来的满足感，可推理出作者不断放下写作是因为把快乐等同于成就，当达不到期望时，写作带来的快乐就降低了。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But hbbies are there t give yu a breath f fresh air frm having t excel at everything, frm academics t yur ccupatin. We must accept that it is kay t just suck at an activity but still ding it because it brings yu jy. There is a balance between jy and expectatins, either set by thers r by urselves(但爱好是为了让你在从学业到职业的各个方面都出类拔萃之余，能呼吸到新鲜空气。我们必须接受，在一项活动中表现不佳也没关系，只要它给你带来快乐。在快乐和期望之间有一个平衡，无论是别人设定的还是我们自己设定的)”可知，在一项活动中表现不佳也没关系，只要它给你带来快乐，可推理出文章主要传达的是在爱好中，快乐比优秀更重要。故选D项。

The Caspian Sea, the wrld’s largest inland water bdy, is declining, accrding t a new study published in Cmmunicatins Earth & Envirnment. The study reprts the water surces that typically feed the sea are cntributing less and less water. S much s that these surces cannt keep up with evapratin (蒸发). If glbal temperatures rise by 2°C, the sea’s water levels culd drp by 16-32 feet, which means 4 ut f 10 ecsystem types unique t the Caspian Sea wuld disappear cmpletely.
The Caspian Sea is hme t a variety f life. Six sturgen (鲟鱼) species live within the sea. In the Caspian Sea, sturgen typically reside in shallwer waters during the summer and fall and lay eggs in the rivers that flw int the sea. A drp in water levels wuld prevent them frm accessing these grunds, which culd lead t ppulatin decline. The sea is als a ht spt fr sme seabirds. They usually take shelter in the castal wetlands, but it’s pssible thse culd dry up as well.
The Caspian Sea tuches five cuntries — Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan — and a drp in water levels culd seriusly impact trade rutes vital t the ecnmies f these cuntries, as lw water levels culd prevent ships frm dcking (入港). Besides, the expsed dry seabed is likely t release dust cntaining industrial pllutants and salt, psing serius threats t human health. A drpping water level culd als alter the climate f the regin, thus impacting the area’s agriculture.
But all hpe is nt lst. “Sme Caspian Sea level decline appears unavidable,” Simn Gdman frm the University f Leeds said in a press release. “Hwever, with the anticipated effects unflding ver a few decades, it shuld be pssible t find ways t prtect bidiversity while safeguarding human interests and well being. That might sund like a lng timescale, but, given the immense plitical, legal and practical challenges invlved, it is advisable t start actin as sn as pssible t give the best chance f success.”
28. What is a fundamental driver fr the Caspian Sea’s water crisis?
A. Reduced inflw f feeder rivers.B. Industrial pllutin f castal plants.
C. Increased evapratin f the Caspian Sea.D. Sudden disappearance f the ecsystems.
29. Why are sturgen ppulatins threatened by the decline f water levels?
A. Seabirds cmpete fr their fd.B. They lse access t castal wetlands.
C. They can’t reach rivers t reprduce.D. The shallwer summer habitats dry up.
30. What culd be a likely cnsequence f the drying prcess?
A. Establishment f trade rutes.B. Release f seabed pllutants.
C. Expansin f lcal agriculture.D. Alteratin f reginal integratin.
31. What des Simn Gdman’s suggest t address the prblem?
A. Lcal cmmunity relcatin.B. Resignatin t bidiversity lss.
C. Emphasis n ecnmic interests.D. Urgent crss-brder cperatin.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The study reprts the water surces that typically feed the sea are cntributing less and less water. S much s that these surces cannt keep up with evapratin (蒸发). (该研究报告称，通常为海洋提供水源的那些水体，其供水量正在逐渐减少。以至于这些水源已经无法满足蒸发的需求了。)”可知，造成里海水资源危机的根本原因是来源河流的水量减少。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Caspian Sea is hme t a variety f life. Six sturgen (鲟鱼) species live within the sea. In the Caspian Sea, sturgen typically reside in shallwer waters during the summer and fall and lay eggs in the rivers that flw int the sea. A drp in water levels wuld prevent them frm accessing these grunds, which culd lead t ppulatin decline. (里海是众多生物的栖息地。这里有六种鲟鱼种类在里海中繁衍生息。在里海中，鲟鱼通常在夏季和秋季生活在较浅的水域，并在流入海中的河流中产卵。如果水位下降，它们将无法到达这些产卵地，这可能会导致其种群数量减少。)”可知，鲟鱼群体会受到水位下降的影响是因为他们无法到达河流去繁衍后代。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Besides, the expsed dry seabed is likely t release dust cntaining industrial pllutants and salt, psing serius threats t human health. (此外，裸露的干燥海床可能会释放出含有工业污染物和盐分的粉尘，对人类健康构成严重威胁。)”可知，干涸过程可能会产生导致海底污染物的释放。故选B。

It’s a prblem that has annyed many hrrr mvie makeup artists: Hw d yu give smene the appearance f having a secnd head? Seemingly t fake ut hunters, many butterflies have fund their wn slutins t this prblem, with cmplicated patterns and structures n their wings that create what lk like secnd heads n their backsides. Nw, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes f Science Educatin and Research (IISER) dive deeper int the rigins f these “false heads”.
Previus studies have shwn these false heads help cnfuse hunters: Damage t the back end f a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact n vital behavirs such as flying and mating than damage t the butterfly’s real head. Scientists had lng therized that butterflies’ false heads arse because five key traits (特征) — namely false feelers, nticeable clratin, wing patterns that cntain special lines, large spts, and head like shapes — evlve (进化) tgether t redirect predatr attentin. But n ne had traced the evlutinary histry f these traits.
Evlutinary eclgists at IISER began by analyzing images f nearly 1,000 species f butterflies and marking hw many f the false head traits each species exhibited. The researchers then cnstructed a phylgenetic tree (系统树), which allwed them t visualize hw clsely related false-headed species were t ne anther, as well as hw each f the traits evlved ver time. Cmputatinal mdeling f this tree revealed that fur f the five false head traits all evlved in a crrelated manner, while als shwing the rder in which the traits first appeared within butterflies.
The researchers prpse that the separate traits integrated int a single, cmplex false head trait because f a cmmn selective frce: attacks frm hunters. Hwever, questins remain n the exact advantages that these distinctive defense mechanisms prvide t the butterflies that use them.
32. Why is “makeup artist” mentined in the first paragraph?
A. T supprt a scientific thery.B. T illustrate a filming technique.
C. T intrduce an evlutinary trick.D. T justify a lng-held assumptin.
33. What might previus studies fcus n?
A. The develpment f the five traits.B. The special behavirs f butterflies.
C. The defensive functin f false heads.D. The evlutin theries f butterflies.
34. What did IISER scientists d in the new study?
A. They classified wing patterns f butterflies.
B. They recnstructed histry f trait evlutin.
C. They innvated methds f studying butterflies.
D. They analyzed the survival benefits f false heads.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. T survive? False a Secnd HeadB. Cnfused? Phylgenetic Tree Helps
C. D Key traits Enhance Insects’ Survival?D. Des Evlutin Reshape Butterflies’ Bdies?

(这是一个令许多恐怖电影化妆师头疼的问题：如何让一个人看起来像是长着第二个脑袋呢？似乎是为了骗过捕食者，许多蝴蝶找到了应对这一问题的自身解决方案。它们的翅膀上有着复杂的图案和结构，从而在它们的背部形成了看起来像第二个脑袋的形状。)”可知，在第一段中提到了“化妆师”这个概念是为了介绍一种进化上的技巧。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Previus studies have shwn these false heads help cnfuse hunters: Damage t the back end f a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact n vital behavirs such as flying and mating than damage t the butterfly’s real head. (此前的研究表明，这些假头会干扰猎食者：蝴蝶翅膀后端（靠近假头的部分）受到损伤对诸如飞行和交配等关键行为的影响要小于蝴蝶真实头部所受的损伤。)”可知，以往的研究会关注假头的防御功能。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Evlutinary eclgists at IISER began by analyzing images f nearly 1,000 species f butterflies and marking hw many f the false head traits each species exhibited.

(印度科学研究院的进化生态学家们首先对近1000种蝴蝶的图片进行了分析，并记录了每种蝴蝶表现出的假头部特征的数量。随后，他们构建了一个系统树，借此能够直观地看出假头部特征的蝴蝶种类之间的亲缘关系有多紧密，以及这些特征是如何随时间演变而形成的。)”可知，印度科学研究院的研究人员在此次研究中重建了特征演变的历史。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Seemingly t fake ut hunters, many butterflies have fund their wn slutins t this prblem, with cmplicated patterns and structures n their wings that create what lk like secnd heads n their backsides. Nw, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes f Science Educatin and Research (IISER) dive deeper int the rigins f these “false heads”. (似乎是为了骗过捕食者，许多蝴蝶找到了应对这一问题的自身解决方案。它们的翅膀上有着复杂的图案和结构，从而在它们的背部形成了看起来像第二个脑袋的形状。如今，在一项新的研究中，印度科学研究院（IISER）的研究人员进一步探究了这些“假脑袋”的起源。)”以及文章主要说明了蝴蝶进化出假头迷惑捕食者，研究者通过分析蝴蝶物种、构建系统树，追溯假头特征的进化历程，揭示其为生存的进化适应。可知，A选项“为了生存？伪造第二头”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【答案】36. G 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. F
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在现代社会中尝试与陌生人建立联系的经历。文章通过对比过去和现在的社交环境，描述了作者如何主动打破僵局、开启对话，并最终在生活中融入更多温暖的人际互动。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Frm the decline f the ffice t the rise f single - ccupancy flats, ur scial lives are being taken away frm us.(从办公室的减少到单人公寓的兴起，我们的社交生活正被剥夺)”以及下文“Their ads prmte the safety and cnvenience f staying hme and nt seeing r talking t anther human.(它们的广告宣扬待在家里、不与他人见面或交谈的安全性和便利性)”可知，上文提到了我们的社交生活正被剥夺，下文提到了广告宣扬待在家里、不与他人见面或交谈的安全性和便利性，可推理出空白处应提及另一个导致人们减少社交、不愿外出的因素，G项“Meanwhile, streaming services and fd-delivery apps discurage us frm ging ut.(与此同时，流媒体服务和外卖应用阻止我们外出)”符合语境，故填G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“It wasn’t always like this.(事情并不总是这样的)”以及下文“Yu’ll see cafes and nightclubs and buses and trains filled with life and cnversatin.(你会看到咖啡馆、夜总会、公交车和火车上充满了生机和交谈)”可知，下文提到了咖啡馆、夜总会、公交车和火车上充满了生机和交谈，可推理出此处是要展现过去不同的社交场景，A项“Lk at phts f city life in the 90s r 00s.(看看 90 年代或 00 年代的城市生活照片)”能够引出下文描述的过去的热闹景象，符合逻辑。故填A项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Peple talk t ne anther. Ludly and prudly, they just talk.(人们彼此交谈。他们大声而自豪地交谈着)”以及下文“S, I tried it ut n everyne I met, frm neighbrs and shpkeepers t hspitality wrkers and grups f strangers in cafes and pubs (于是，我便试着与遇到的每个人打交道，从邻居、店主到咖啡馆和酒吧里的服务人员以及成群的陌生人)”可知，上文提到了人们彼此交谈，下文提到了我便试着与遇到的每个人打交道，可推理出作者受过去人们轻松交谈的启发，想要尝试这种社交方式，D项“What better way t make scial cnnectins than this?(还有什么比这更好的建立社交联系的方式呢？)”既肯定了过去那种交谈方式在社交上的作用，也自然引出了下文作者的尝试，符合语境。故填D项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“I remember being attracted int ne f Gail’s bakeries by the backgrund music they played. I walked ver t the baker. I pinted upwards. “Are yu guys respnsible fr this playlist?” A nd. “Ah, great, lve it” He smiles thinly and nds a plite “gdbye”, which everyne knws means: “GO AWAY IMMEDIATELY, PLEASE.”(我记得当时被盖尔烘焙坊播放的背景音乐所吸引，便走了过去。我朝上指了指，问道：‘这首歌单是你们选的吗？’对方点了点头。‘太好了，很喜欢！’他淡淡地笑了笑，礼貌地点了下头算是道别——而人人都明白这意思其实是：‘请立刻离开！’)”可知，这次互动并不顺利，B项“My first interactin experiment didn’t g s well.(我的第一次互动实验进展不太顺利)”能够概括这段经历，引出下文具体内容。故填B项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Yet persistence paid ff when the ice was finally brken by Graham, a fellw resident f my little neighbrhd. We gt chatting ne day while he was smking n his drstep. I mentined being a writer, and he paused, taking a lng drag n his cigarette, and said, “Wrds are t the mind what exercise is t the bdy.” That prfund insight immediately pened a channel between us (然而，我的坚持终于得到了回报，我的邻居格雷厄姆终于打破了僵局。有一天，当他在家门口抽烟时，我们聊了起来。我提到自己是个作家，他停顿了一下，深深地吸了一口烟，说：‘语言之于心灵，犹如运动之于身体。’这句深刻的见解立刻在我们之间开辟了一条通道)”可知，此处描述了作者与邻居格雷厄姆成功交流的经历，结合下文“Thse encunters, brn frm a cnscius effrt t cnnect, have gradually wven warmth and familiarity int the fabric f my daily life.(这些出于有意识的联系而产生的相遇，逐渐为我的日常生活编织出了温暖和熟悉)”可知，此处表示作者与他人的交流逐渐变得频繁，可推理出此处说的是与Graham的交流打开了局面后，与陌生人的交流变得常态化了，F项“Then, cnversatins with strangers becme a regular ccurrence.(然后，与陌生人的交谈变成了常事)”符合语境，承接上文并引出下文对这些相遇的总结。故填F项。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文聚焦于C40城市网络中的中国城市武汉，介绍了其在可持续发展方面所做出的特别努力，包括长江沿岸海岸线升级、湿地和绿地开发修复以及相关生态项目建设等。
【56题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：C40，一个致力于应对气候崩溃的全球城市网络，包括来自中国的13个成员。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少谓语动词，因表示的是客观事实，要用一般现在时，主语C40表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式。故填includes。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：武汉的一项重大举措包括对长江经济带重要沿线396公里的河岸线进行升级。空白处在句子中作宾语，使用动名词，且invlve ding sth.为固定短语，意为“包括做某事”，所以空处应用动名词形式作宾语。故填upgrading。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这个雄心勃勃的项目旨在建立一个生态走廊，将河流与城市连接起来，改善城市绿化和水质。空处修饰名词prject表示属性，应用形容词形式作定语，ambitius意为“雄心勃勃的”，符合句意。故填ambitius。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意：该走廊将通过改善防洪措施和排水设施，扩大雨水泵站，加强城市的防洪系统。此处特指上文提到的“an eclgical crridr”，需用定冠词the修饰表示特指，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填The。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。此处表示“通过改善防洪措施和排水设施，扩大雨水泵站来加强城市的防洪系统”，空处需填介词by表示方式。故填by。
【61题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：也将创建一条文化走廊，展示沿河的历史特色。主语A cultural crridr与动词create之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，will后接动词原形，所以空处应填be created。故填be created。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：截至2021年底，武汉共开发湿地638公顷，修复现有绿地约196.4公顷，增加了生物多样性和碳汇。空处修饰名词196.4 hectares，应用非谓语动词作定语，estimate与196.4 hectares之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词形式作定语。故填estimated。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：这些行动有助于提高武汉的防洪能力，有效地将河流、河岸和河景归还给人民，从而使城市更宜居、对商业友好、对游客有吸引力。空处在句中作主语，根据上文“196.4 hectares f existing green areas were restred, increasing bidiversity and carbn sinks. Furthermre, arund 103,000 square meters f highly plluting buildings have been remved(据估计有196.4公顷的现有绿地得到了恢复，增加了生物多样性和碳汇。此外，约103,000平方米的高污染建筑已被拆除)”可知，此处指的是上文提到的许多行动，所以空白处应填名词复数形式，且根据谓语动词help未使用单数第三人称可知，主语应为复数形式。故填actins。
【64题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，空处与business friendly and attractive并列作宾语补足语，应用形容词形式，且根据上文“help t increase Wuhan’s fld resilience(适应能力) and effectively return the rivers, riverbanks and riverscape t the peple(有助于提高武汉的防洪能力，有效地将河流、河岸和河景归还给人民)”可知，此处把改造后的城市与之前进行比较，表示城市“更宜居的”，应用比较级形式mre livable。故填mre livable。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：武汉市长表示，武汉将尽一切所能加快长江经济带试验区建设，探索绿色生态发展之路。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词all，先行词在从句中作主语，当先行词为all时，关系代词用that引导定语从句。故填that。

The smell f rasted chicken filled the kitchen as we gathered fr ur usual Friday dinner. Having swallwed a big muthful f chicken, I tk a deep breath and began, “Culd I invite sme friends ver tmrrw? Just fr the afternn?”
My parents exchanged a glance, then ndded readily. But beside me, my yunger sister, Lily, frze. Her wide eyes lcked nt mine. “But... what abut Miracle? She’ll be terrified, Ethan.”
Miracle was a cat Lily rescued n a rainy day last winter. True t her name, the cat had survived. Yet, it remained a creature f prfund shyness: Lud vices sent her trembling under beds; sudden mvements made her jump. She wasn’t just a pet; she was a fragile sul Lily fiercely prtected.
“I prmise, Lily,” I insisted, leaning frward, meeting her wrried gaze(凝视). “We’ll stay in the living rm. N lud music, n shuting games. I’ll keep the back dr shut tight, and I’ll warn everyne t be quiet. Miracle wn’t even knw they’re here.” I saw the cnflict in her eyes — her desire t be supprtive warring with her deep cncern fr the pr cat. After a tense silence, she finally gave a small, reluctant nd.
Saturday arrived with sunshine and laughter as my friends piled in. True t my wrd, I guided them straight t the living rm, reminding them firmly abut Miracle’s sensitivity. Initially, we chatted, played cards quietly. Glancing arund, I sptted Miracle sliding silently dwn the hallway twards Lily’s rm. Gd, she’s keeping her distance, I thught, relieved.
As the afternn wre n, hwever, the initial cautin disappeared. A cmpetitive bard game led t enthusiastic cheers and laughter. Lst in the sheer fun f being with my friends, I frgt everything - he prmise, the fragile creature.
After friends departed with cheerful gdbyes, I began tidying empty glasses, still lst in the happy scenes when Lily burst thrugh the frnt dr int her rm. Then came her scream, “Ethan, Miracle is gne.”
