（2024-2025高二上·广东部分名校·期中）In recent years, a new trend called begpacking has appeared in the travel wrld. This term is a cmbinatin f begging and backpacking. Begpackers are typically sme turists wh travel t ther cuntries, and ask fr mney frm lcals t help supprt their trips. They can be seen sitting in streets with signs written in the lcal language, asking fr mney t fund their travels. Sme begpackers play music r sell handmade items t get mney. Others just ask fr mney withut giving anything back in return.
While begpacking might appear t be an inncent way fr travelers t fund their trips, it’s against the law t earn mney as a turist in many cuntries. Even s, this desn’t seem t stp begpackers frm trying. And as a result, it’s caused a lt f cntrversial (有争议的) discussin.
“If yu cannt affrd t travel, dn’t d it, let alne ask lcals t pay fr it,” Rbert Rashid wrte in a Medium article. Rashid, a jurnalist wh lives in Seul, has been called the “begpacker buster”, and is knwn fr speaking ut against turists wh beg n the streets. He even reprts them t the plice. Rashid said he believes begpacking is “emtinal bribery (贿赂)”, and takes advantage f the genersity f lcals, sme f whm might be pr themselves.
Filipin lawyer Raphael Pangalangan said begpacking is an example f “natinality privilege”— having advantages because f the cuntry f yur natinality. “If peple frm prer cuntries were t try begpacking,” Pangalangan said, “they wuld be quickly deprted (驱逐出境).”
But Will Hattn frm the travel website The Brke Backpacker says begpacking desn’t have t be a negative thing. He tld CNN he desn’t supprt begging, but he believes peple wh play music r sell items t fund their travels are being brave and explring alternative lifestyles.

（2024-2025高二上·重庆七校·期中）I sld ne f my cars and switched t an e-bike ne year ag. I knew that I was ding smething gd fr the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as smething reserved fr the deeply cmmitted and adventurus, smething that Greenpeace vlunteers did t make the wrld better. Hwever, I live in Clrad; e-bike wuld mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing t d, I thught, but it was nt ging t be fun.
I was very wrng. Befre selling my car, I wrried mst abut riding in the cld winter mnths. But I quickly learned that, as the saying ges, there is n bad weather, nly bad clthes. I wear glves, warm scks and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almst never t cld.
Thugh I, like many wuld-be cyclists, was wrried abut arriving at the ffice sweaty in htter mnths, the e-bike slved my prblem. Even when there was 35 degrees Celsius utside, I didn’t sweat, thanks t my bike’s pedal-assist mde (脚踏辅助模式). If I am hnest, smetimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched t pedal-assist mde, sat back and enjyed my ride.
But biking t wrk wasn’t just nt unpleasant — it was entirely enjyable. One day, shrtly after selling ur car, I hpped n (跳上) my bike after a stressful day at wrk and rde hme dwn a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt mre cnnected t the physical envirnment arund me than I had when I’d traveled the same rute surrunded by metal and glass. I have t say, this sensatin made me happier and healthier.
Of curse, e-bikes aren’t ging t replace every car n every trip. In a cuntry where uncntrlled stretching f suburbs and malls and unprtected bike paths are the nrm, it’s unrealistic t expect e-bikes t replace cars in the way that the Mdel T (福特公司第一款大规模生产的汽车) replaced hrses. But as an individual, making shrt trips n an e-bike wuld save mney, cut carbn ftprints, and imprve health and well-being.

（2024-2025高二上·广东深圳三校联考·期中）The cliche (陈词滥调) f a knitter is a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, yung male Ryal Air Frce pilts used needles as they waited fr their next missin. Wartime pilts crashed a lt and“lap crafts” like knitting, helped rebuild flexibility in wunded limbs while als helping t settle wunded minds. They were the fundatin f early ccupatinal therapy (治疗).
Tday, millins f peple arund the wrld emply these same techniques. “They are clsely assciated with ur mental health,” says Janine Smith, the wner f a stre that sells supplies fr knitting and crcheting (用钩针编制). “I knw that if I haven’t knitted fr a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditatin.”
Physitherapist Betsan Crkhill and ccupatinal therapist Jill Riley were part f a team frm Cardiff University that, ten years ag, surveyed mre than 3,500 knitters and fund that the mre frequently peple knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.
In reality, it is a “Flw”, which is a cncept first named by psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrte in his bk, “The best mments in ur lives are nt the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best mments usually ccur if a persn’s bdy r mind is stretched t its limits in a vluntary effrt t accmplish smething difficult and wrthwhile.”
Shauna Richardsn knws just hw true this is. The artist spent 18 mnths in a state f flw when she crcheted three seven-metre-lng lins fr the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. T cmplete the task, which required nearly 38 miles f wl, she says she had t “zne everything ut and sustain a state f mind driven by rhythm and prcess.”
But smaller prjects will als get yu there. Even a simple knitting r crchet pattern requires attentiveness t ensure that each stitch is made crrectly. And if there’s nt enugh challenge in the straightfrward, yu can make additins, frm clur changes t textured stitches t highly cmplicated patterns.
The Cardiff research team fund that even thugh mst f the peple surveyed were emplyed, three-quarters f thse wh knitted three r mre times a week felt significantly mre able t rganise their thughts and frget their prblems.

Passage 01
（2024-2025·广东八校联盟·高二上教学质量检测）“Wh’s a gd reader? It’s yu, isn’t it?” This is a typical example f “parentese (父母语)”. Recent research suggests that parents speaking parentese t their babies can give the babies’ language develpment a serius bst. In the study, researchers fund that teaching parents hw t speak prper parentese enhanced their ability t cmmunicate with their babies — and even imprved the children’s lng-term language skills.
Parentese is distinct frm cnventinal baby talk, which mstly relies n silly sunds and made-up wrds. In the 1960s, scientists studying speech patterns acrss different languages nticed a unique style that adults used addressing yung children. This language was characterized by simple wrds and grammar, high pitch (音调) and a much slwer speed. The baby-directed speech was first named “mtherese” befre it was called “parentese”.
Later research shwed parentese is grammatically crrect, with real wrds and phrases, which helped babies differentiate between wrds and prcess what was being said. “We’ve knwn fr sme time that use f parentese is assciated with imprved language utcmes, but we didn’t knw why,” says Patricia K. Kuhl, the new research’s senir authr. But Kuhl thinks the new research suggests why parentese helps babies learn language skills.
“We nw think parentese wrks because it’s a scial attractin fr the baby brain,” she says. “Its high pitch and slwer speed are scially engaging and invite the baby t respnd.”
All 71 families in the new study had their children equipped with a special cat with an audi recrder built in. During fur separate weekends when the babies were 6,10,14 and 18mnths ld, the researchers recrded all f the interactins between family members and the babies. The 48 families wh were randmly selected fr a curse in parentese learned abut ways t include mre parentese in cnversatin.
And even thugh all f the participating families used sme frm f parentese at the start f the study, the babies f parents wh received caching shwed the mst imprvements in their cnversatin skills. Beynd that, thse babies had a 100-wrd vcabulary cmpared with the cntrl grup, wh nly knew 60 wrds at 18 mnths.
8．Which aspect f the new study des paragraph 1 fcus n?
A．Its aim.B．Its result.C．Its prcedure.D．Its participants.
9．What did scientists find abut parentese in the 1960s?
A．It was easy t fllw.B．It was unique t mthers.
C．It was full f made-up wrds.D．It was similar t traditinal baby talk.
10．What des Kuhl say abut parentese?
A．It inspires babies t speak mre.B．It has shrt-term effects n babies.
C．It teaches babies mre scial skills.D．It helps babies differentiate wrds and phrases.
11．What des the underlined wrd “caching” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Casual advice r guidance.B．Frmal training r instructin.
C．Observatin withut interventin.D．Emtinal supprt withut practical help.
Passage 02
（2024-2025·安徽十校联考·高二上1月联考）It is a cmmn view that “Necessity is the mther f inventin”. That is, inventins suppsedly arise when a sciety has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventins d fit in this categry. Fr example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cttn gins (轧棉机) t replace labrius hand cleaning f cttn grwn in the U. S. Suth.
Such familiar examples fl us int assuming that ther majr inventins were als respnses t perceived needs. In fact, mst inventins were develped by peple driven by curisity r by a lve f tinkering (捣鼓). Once a device had been invented, the inventr then had t find an applicatin fr it. Only after it had been in use fr a cnsiderable time did cnsumers cme t feel that they “needed” it. Thus, inventin is ften the mther f necessity, rather than vice versa.
A gd example is the histry f the mtr vehicle which was nt invented in respnse t any demand. When Niklaus Ott built his first gas engine in 1866, it was weak, heavy, and seven feet tall. Thirty years later, he built the first truck. But it was a time when hrse wagns and steam-pwered railrads dminated transprtatin. Public cntentment with these tw means remained high until Wrld War I when the armies cncluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made thse vehicles a substitute fr hrse-drawn wagns in industrialized cuntries.
Inventrs ften have t insist n their tinkering fr a lng time in the absence f public demand, because early mdels perfrm t prly t be useful. Fr instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and televisin sets were as awful as Ott’s seven-ft-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult fr an inventr t fresee whether his r her awful prttype might eventually find a use and thus invest mre time and expense t develp it. Even inventins that meet the need fr which they were initially designed may later prve mre valuable at meeting unfreseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine t pump water frm mines, it sn was supplying pwer t cttn mills, then (with much greater prfit) driving trains and bats.
28．Why is Eli Whitney mentined by the writer in the first paragraph?
A．T intrduce the tpic.B．T deny a statement.
C．T clarify a dubt.D．T illustrate a view.
29．What led t the wide use f mtr vehicles accrding t the text?
A．The imprvement f engine perfrmance.B．The end f Wrld War I.
C．The need f the military during war time.D．The decline f hrse-drawn wagns.
30．What des the underlined wrd “That” refer t in the last paragraph?
A．Absence f public demand.B．Bad perfrmance f early mdels.
C．A lack f time and expense.D．Awful lks f previus inventins.
31．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Scial Need: the Inner Drive fr Inventin
B．Great Inventin: the Frce f Sciety’s Prgress
C．Beynd Necessity: the Curius Pursuit f Inventin
D．General Applicatin: the Final Purpse f Inventin

Firms selling the sftware and hardware that supprt AI will gain a lt f prfit. But nne is better psitined than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billin this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech-giant in this field?
The hype (炒作) arund AI makes the questin hard t answer. Excitement abut Nvidia began t munt in Nvember, after the release f ChatGPT, an AI-pwered chatbt. Since then many kinds f firms have launched AI prducts.
Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) psitin. Its cre business is designing high-perfrmance chips. At first it sld these t vide-game lvers. The chips were als highly efficient at training AI mdels, and a new, bming market emerged.
Nvidia als had the frethught t invest in tw areas that helped strengthen its dminance (支配地位). One is advanced netwrking. Because training AI mdels requires vast amunts f prcessing pwer, many chips — smetimes thusands — are used at the same time. These chips exchange data alng a high-perfrmance, AI-tailred netwrk.
Nvidia’s ther strength is its sftware. CUDA, its AI platfrm, is ppular with prgrammers and runs nly n the cmpany’s chips. Fr instance, by giving free access t its chips and sftware t sme AI researchers, the firm fcused n encuraging develpers t use its sftware lng befre its cmpetitrs set ut t w them.
Despite all these advantages, hwever, Nvidia’s lasting dminance is nt assured. New cmpanies and big chipmakers want a share f Nvidia’s netwrk and chip businesses.

【2025全国1卷】While safety imprvements might have been made t ur streets in recent years, transprt studies als shw declines in pedestrian (行人) mbility, especially amng yung children. Many parents say there’s t much traffic n the rads fr their children t walk safely t schl, s they pack them int the car instead.
Dutch authrs Thalia Verkade and Marc te Brömmelstret are bthered by facts like these. In their new bk Mvement: Hw t Take Back Our Streets and Transfrm Our Lives, they call fr a rethink f ur streets and the rle they play in ur lives.
Life n city streets started t change decades ag. Whle neighburhds were destryed t make way fr new rad netwrks and kids had t play elsewhere. Sme cmmunities fught back. Mst famusly, a Canadian jurnalist wh had mved her family t Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign t stp the destructin f her lcal park. Describing her alarm at its prpsed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacbs called n her mayr (市长) t champin “New Yrk as a decent place t live, and nt just rush thrugh.” Similar campaigns ccurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Althugh these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majrity f the western cities were cmpletely redesigned arund the needs f the mtr car. The number f cars n rads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we nw have ver twenty millin cars fr just ver twenty-six millin peple, amng the highest rate f car wnership in the wrld.
We invest a lt in rads that help us rush thrugh, but we fail t accunt fr the true csts. D we really recgnise what it csts us as a sciety when children can’t mve safely arund ur cmmunities? The authrs f Mvement have it right: it’s time t think differently abut that street utside yur frnt dr.

Passage 02
【2025全国1卷】Micrplastics have becme a cmmn surce f pllutin acrss the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and n the Himalayas, stuck inside vlcanic rcks, filled the stmachs f seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snw. They are even appearing inside humans.
Nw, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level f micrplastics in water frm yur tap (水龙头): biling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Envirnmental Science & Technlgy Letters, researchers frm China fund that biling tap water fr just five minutes — then filtering it after it cls — culd remve at least 80 percent f its micrplastics.
Crucially, this prcess relies n the water cntaining enugh calcium carbnate (碳酸钙) t trap the plastics. In the study, biling hard water cntaining 300 milligrams f calcium carbnate led t an almst 90 percent drp in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams f calcium carbnate, biling reduced the level f plastics by just 25 percent. Additinally, the research didn’t include all types f plastics. The team fcused nly n three cmmn types — plystyrene, plyethylene and plyprpylene — and they didn’t study ther chemicals previusly fund in water such as vinyl chlride.
Still, the findings shw a ptential path frward fr reducing micrplastic expsure — a task that’s becming increasingly difficult. Even bttled water, scientists fund earlier this year, cntains 10 t 1,000 times mre micrplastics than riginally thught.
Scientists are still trying t determine hw harmful micrplastics are — but what they d knw has raised cncerns. The new study suggests biling tap water culd be a tl t limit intake. “The way they demnstrated hw micrplastics were trapped thrugh the biling prcess was nice,” Carline Gauchtte-Lindsay, an envirnmental engineer f the University f Glasgw in Sctland wh was nt invlved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We shuld be lking int upgrading drinking water treatment plants s they remve micrplastics.”

C. By giving examples.D. By prviding statistics.
33. What determines the effectiveness f trapping micrplastics in water?

【2025新课标ⅠⅠ卷】Des yur sul die a little every time yu thrw away unused fd? Mine des. Maybe that feeling cmes frm grwing up in Suth Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was mre f an uncmfrtable reminder f fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Fd waste is a grwing cncern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. Frm technlgical slutins t educatinal campaigns, fd prducers and sellers are lking fr ways t use mre f what we’re already grwing. But last mnth, ne ppular New Yrk City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu t exclusively (专门) ffer fd that wuld therwise be thrwn away.
Fr tw weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailr-made t raise awareness regarding fd waste.
A study by the Fd Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 punds f fd waste fr every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and f that waste nly 15.7% is dnated r recycled. Up t 84.3% is simply thrwn ut. Restaurants like Sil in the UK have experimented with zer-waste systems, but wastED tk the cncept t its lgical cnclusin.
It shuld be nted that nne f the items n wastED’s menu was technically made frm garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples f meat cuts and prduce that mst restaurants wuld never cnsider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish cllars, rejected sweet ptates, and cucumber butts were all re-apprpriated and, with the help f a number f gd chefs, turned int excellent cuisine.
Thugh wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed frm the start as a shrt-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned t its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways t address prblems f sustainability, and that yu can make an amazing meal ut f almst anything.

【2024全国甲卷】Animals can express their needs using a lt f ways. Fr instance, almst all animals have distinct vcals (声音) that they rely n t either ask fr help, scare away any dangerus animals r lk fr shelter. But cats are special creatures wh pssess amazing vcalizatin skills. They are able t have entire cnversatins with humans using mews and yu're able t interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep mewing t attract attentin and find fd. Hwever, when a cat is lking fr affectin, they tend t prduce stretched and sft mews. Mewing starts as sn as a baby cat is brught t life and uses it t get the mther's attentin and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense f smell is quite impressive. They use their nses t assess their envirnment and lk ut fr any signs f danger. They will sniff ut specific areas befre they chse a place t relax. Hwever, anther way the cats are able t distinguish between situatins is by lking fr familiar smells. Yur cat will likely smell yur face and stre the smell in its memry and use it t recgnize yu in the future. That's why mst pet cats are able t tell immediately if their wners were arund any ther cats, which they dn't usually like.
Dgs are knwn fr their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavir up a ntch. Many cats will find randm bjects utside and bring them t their wners. This is a very ld habit that's been present in all kinds f predatrs (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts fr their wners t shw they lve yu.

【2024新课标Ⅰ卷】In the race t dcument the species n Earth befre they g extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have cllected billins f recrds. Tday, mst recrds f bidiversity are ften in the frm f phts, vides, and ther digital recrds. Thugh they are useful fr detecting shifts in the number and variety f species in an area, a new Stanfrd study has fund that this type f recrd is nt perfect.
“With the rise f technlgy it is easy fr peple t make bservatins f different species with the aid f a mbile applicatin,” said Barnabas Daru, wh is lead authr f the study and assistant prfessr f bilgy in the Stanfrd Schl f Humanities and Sciences. “These bservatins nw utnumber the primary data that cmes frm physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using bservatinal data t investigate hw species are respnding t glbal change, I wanted t knw: Are they usable?”
Using a glbal dataset f 1.9 billin recrds f plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested hw well these data represent actual glbal bidiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in explring the aspects f sampling that tend t bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihd f a citizen scientist t take a picture f a flwering plant instead f the grass right next t it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number f bservatin-nly recrds did nt lead t better glbal cverage. Mrever, these data are biased and favr certain regins, time perids, and species. This makes sense because the peple wh get bservatinal bidiversity data n mbile devices are ften citizen scientists recrding their encunters with species in areas nearby. These data are als biased tward certain species with attractive r eye-catching features.
What can we d with the imperfect datasets f bidiversity?
“Quite a lt,” Daru explained. “Bidiversity apps can use ur study results t infrm users f versampled areas and lead them t places — and even species — that are nt well-sampled. T imprve the quality f bservatinal data, bidiversity apps can als encurage users t have an expert cnfirm the identificatin f their upladed image.”

Passage 01
（2024-2025·湖南永州·高二上1月期末）Glaciers (冰川) are enrmus masses f ice created by snw that has becme packed ver many years. Hidden inside sme f them are dramatic and beautiful caves called glacier caves (洞), which are made entirely f ice.
Hw d they frm? Ice caves, usually lying within r beneath glaciers, are frmed by the meltwater f the glacier that flws thrugh the ice during perids f rainfall r during the warmer mnths when the glacier ice is melting (融化). Where the melted water flws thrugh cracks (裂缝) in the ice, the cracks get bigger and bigger ver time. Eventually, a glacier cave is frmed.
Glacier caves are valuable t glacilgists, scientists wh study glaciers. Usually, glacilgists can study the surface f a glacier, but these caves let them see the underside and inside. Studying a glacier frm the inside helps scientists learn abut the way a glacier mves and slides.
As the climate changes, glaciers are melting quickly, leading t rising sea levels. Glacier caves are changing quickly t. Frm ne visit t the next, peple might find that sme rms in a cave have disappeared while thers have frmed. Ice may have thickened r thinned as mre air enters thrugh places where the ice has melted thrugh. Because f this, the vlume has t be re-mapped every few weeks. “It’s very different frm a rck cave, which never changes,” said Cartaya, a 46-year-ld Frest Service wrker and EMT in Bend, Oregn. “Once yu survey a rck cave, it’s dne. With these, every week it’s changing.”
Glacilgists and ther scientists measure these changes. The infrmatin can help them figure ut what is happening with ur sea levels and ur planet. In recent years, data cllected frm the cave system has unlcked an imprtant clue in tracking glacial lss. They hpe t prvide critical new infrmatin fr understanding the impact f glacial lss n water resurces and glbal sea level rise.

（2024-2025·辽宁七校协作体·高二下学期3月联考）A new study published in the jurnal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by bsting the nvelty f stry ideas as well as the “usefulness” f stries — their ability t engage the target audience and ptential fr publicatin. It finds that AI “prfessinalizes” stries, making them mre enjyable, mre likely t have plt twists, better written and less bring.
In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a shrt, eight-sentence “micr stry” fr a target audience f yung adults. They were divided int three grups: ne grup was allwed n Ad help, a secnd grup culd use ChatGPT t prvide a single three-sentence starting idea, and writers in the third grup culd chse frm up t five AI-generated ideas fr their inspiratin.
They then asked 600 peple t judge hw gd the stries were, assessing them fr nvelty and “usefulness”. They fund that writers with the mst access t AI experienced the greatest gains t their creativity, their stries scring 8.1% higher fr nvelty and 9% higher fr nvelty cmpared with stries written withut AI. Writers wh used up t five AI-generated ideas als scred higher fr emtinal characteristics, prducing stries that were better written, mre enjyable, less bring and funnier.
The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Assciatin Task (DAT) and fund that mre creative writers — thse with the highest DAT scres — benefited least frm generative AI ideas.
Less creative writers cnversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access t five AI ideas imprved nvelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% cmpared with thse wh used n AI ideas. Their stries were judged t be up. t 26.6% better written, up t 22.6% mre enjyable and up t 15.2% less bring.
Anil Dshi, Assistant Prfessr at the UCL Schl said, “While these results pint t an increase in individual creativity, there is risk f lsing cllective nvelty. If the publishing industry were t use mre generative AI-inspired stries, ur findings suggest that the stries wuld becme less unique and mre similar t each ther. That is nt encuraged in writing.”

（2024-2025·陕西西安新城区·高二上期中）When it cmes t pverty relief effrts in the develping wrld, small is the new big. Cnsider Junca, a grup f wild grasses that have becme ne f China’s mst significant cntributins t the wrld’s sustainable develpment, with multiple uses being shared by peple in 105 cuntries t help tackle fd issues and desertificatin (沙漠化).
Junca, which literally means “the herbal plant fr grwing edible mushrms”, has wrked miracles fr Chinese scientists wh are cultivating it as a substrate (培养基) fr grwing edible and medicinal mushrms r as fd fr livestck, as well as using it as green barrier t stp sand hills frm advancing.
China intrduced the grass and its cultivatin technlgy t Papua New Guinea mre than 20 years ag t help lcal farmers raise livestck and grw edible mushrms. “We hpe we will help duble the agricultural prductin capacity and farmers’ incmes in Papua New Guinea. We ffer training at hme and abrad, send ur experts t teach lcal farmers, and we d serve them heart and sul as ur brthers,” said Lin Zhanxi, a 79-year-ld prfessr in Fujian Agriculture and Frestry University and the chief scientist fr grass develpment.
It’s been 35 years since Lin selected the grass species t replace wd as a substrate fr grwing mushrms in East China’s Fujian Prvince, and this has saved a vast cverage f natural frest there. Thrugh the years, Lin has develped 45 varieties f Junca, which can be used t cultivate 55 mushrm species.
Despite his age, Lin has ften traveled afar t help peple in develping cuntries learn abut the benefits f this agricultural technlgy. “The first time I went t Papua New Guinea in 1997, I realized hw peple there were struggling with extreme pverty,” Lin said. At that time, a tribe chief knelt dwn befre Lin t thank him fr bringing the technique t save them frm starvatin. T his astnishment, the tribe peple celebrated the whle night. Members f the team were s tuched that they decided t stay and help the peple shake ff pverty.

（2024-2025·四川绵阳·高二上期末）Wake up early enugh and, depending n where yu live, yu’ll likely hear a flck f birds singing. It is a natural behavir, but why?
Accrding t the Wdland Trust, this early singing is knwn as the dawn chrus, and it can start as early as 4 a. m. and last fr several hurs. Birds d it t attract mates and warn ther birds t avid their turf (地盘). One thery as t why they chse the early hurs t transmit these imprtant messages is that the lw visibility makes it hard t d ther bird activities, like seeking fd. Keeping their activity level lw, they chse t sing instead.
Anther thery argues that birds use the mrning vcals t prject an image f strength. By singing with passin, they’re letting ther birds knw they survived the night - n guarantee in nature - and wuld make fr an excellent mate.
Like a gd recrding studi, the early mrning hurs als allw birds t deliver a clear tune thanks t the cler, drier air. Because birds have distinctive sunds, it helps them be mre easily identified by birds within listening distance.
There used t be a widespread thery that birds sang s much in the mrnings because the sunds culd travel greater distances due t stable air current, but it was disprved in a study by researchers at the University f Western Ontari in 2003. They played recrdings f sparrws at dawn and midday. Then they fund the sngs didn’t travel farther, but they were mre cnsistent.
Because birds nly have s much energy t belt ne ut, singing when they stand the best chance f being heard makes sense. Fr a bird, an early mrning sessin is like having the perfect envirnment fr their perfrmance.

（2024-2025·重庆巴蜀中学校教育集团·高一上期末）The term spnge (海绵) city might bring t mind a creative image f a city made f spnges, but actual definitin f spnge cities isn’t as literal as it seems.
Spnge city is a term that riginated in China t describe urban spaces that are re-designed with areas fr greenery. They absrb strm-water the way a spnge takes up excess water! These areas deals wit flding naturally by replacing impermeable rads with permeable (透水的) green spaces. These “spnges” cl cities, cleanse air pllutin and remve dirt frm strm-water befre they enter ur drinking water surces. Several tls and technlgies can be adpted in a spnge city. Emplying sustainable methds like cvering walls and rfs with plants is ne methd. Anther technique uses layers f permeable sil cvered by greenery that traps rainwater and run-ff.
These and ther cncepts are used thrughut the wrld under different names like green infrastructure (基建), lw-impact develpment, and sensitive urban design. The apprach, regardless f the name, fcuses n cntrlling flding and water pllutin. Many cities arund the wrld are suffering frm fld events. In recent years, 60% f China’s large-sized cities have flded—killing hundreds and displacing mre than a millin peple.
Flding has increased because f the veruse f cncrete surfaces, called “gray infrastructure”. Landscape architects realized the need t make cities mre “spngy” by wrking with their lcal climate and natural features t design apprpriate slutins.
In Philadelphia, a prject called “Green City, Clean Waters” was develped after the EPA (Envirnmental Prtectin Agency) enfrced the federal Clean Water Act there in 2011. T date, the city has “greened” at least 2,200 acres f land and used a mix f slutins like rain gardens, restring wetlands, and green infrastructure in their plan.
Hwever, implementing spnge plans is ften difficult because plicymakers ften need t be cnvinced t enact them. Despite this, cities arund the wrld are thriving after the use f the Spnge City apprach.
8．What is the primary gal f the spnge city design?
A．T preserve bidiversity.B．T fight against flding.

思路点拨：例题主要考查主旨大意题
1．主旨大意题。通读全文，重点结合文章第三段“Physitherapist Betsan Crkhill and ccupatinal therapist Jill Riley were part f a team frm Cardiff University that, ten years ag, surveyed mre than 3,500 knitters and fund that the mre frequently peple knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.(物理治疗师贝特森·科克希尔和职业治疗师吉尔·莱利是卡迪夫大学一个团队的成员。十年前，该团队对 3500 多名编织者进行了调查，发现人们编织的频率越高，感觉就越平静和快乐。)”可知，文章主要介绍了编织活动对人们心理健康的积极影响，包括让人心情平静、进入“心流”状态。故A选项“Active Hands, Calm Minds(灵巧的双手，平静的心灵)”准确概括了文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选A项。。
答案 1．A
