Britain’s last cal-fired pwer plant will clse n Mnday, ending 142 years f cal-generated electricity in the natin that sparked the Industrial Revlutin.
The Ratcliffe-n-Sar statin in central England is t finish its final shift at midnight, after mre than half a century f turning cal int pwer. Owner Uniper says many f the 170 remaining emplyees will stay n during a tw-year decmmissining (停用关闭) prcess.
The UK gvernment hailed (赞扬) the clsure as a milestne in effrts t generate all f Britain’s energy frm renewable surces by 2030．The shutdwn makes Britain the first cuntry frm the Grup f Seven majr ecnmies t phase ut cal —thugh sme ther Eurpean natins, including Sweden and Belgium, gt there sner.
Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the plant’s clsure “marks the end f an era and cal wrkers can be rightly prud f their wrk pwering ur cuntry fr ver 140 years. We we generatins a debt f gratitude as a cuntry. The era f cal might be ending, but a new age f gd energy jbs fr ur cuntry is just beginning.”
The wrld’s first cal-fired electricity plant, Edisn Electric Light Statin, pened in Lndn in 1882. Ratcliffe-n-Sar, which pened in 1968, is a landmark whse eight cncrete cling twers and 199-meter chimney are seen by millins f peple a year as they drive past n the M1 highway r speed by n trains.
In 1990 cal prvided abut 80% f Britain’s electricity. By 2012 it had fallen t 39%, and by 2023 it std at just 1%, accrding t figures frm the Natinal Grid. Mre than half f Britain’s electricity nw cmes frm renewable surces such as wind and slar pwer, and the rest frm natural gas and nuclear energy.
“Ten years ag, cal was the leading surce f this cuntry’s pwer —generating a third f ur electricity,” said Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive f Energy U. K. “S, t get t this pint just a decade later, with cal’s cntributin replaced by clean and lw carbn surces, is an incredible achievement. As we aim fr further ambitius targets in the energy transitin (转变), it’s wrth remembering that few back then thught such a change at such a pace was pssible.”
28．What is the significance f the clsure f Ratcliffe-n-Sar statin?
A．It marks the beginning f Britain’s energy transitin.
B．It is the first step twards renewable energy in the UK.
C．It shws the end f cal-generated electricity in Britain.
D．It indicates that Britain has already reached its renewable energy gals.
29．What can we learn frm paragraph 4?
A．The cuntry is in debt and needs t repay its lans t the past generatins.
B．The cuntry asked fr gratitude frm future generatins fr its current energy plicies.
C．The UK’s gratitude t cal wrkers is nw cmplete with the clsure f the last cal plant.
D．The UK acknwledged the significant cntributins f cal wrkers thrughut the industrial histry.
30．What des Dhara Vyas mainly imply in the last paragraph?
A．Britain shuld have aimed fr mre ambitius energy transitin targets earlier.
B．The replacement f cal by clean surces in Britain happened faster than expected.
C．The decline f cal as a pwer surce in Britain was a slw and predictable prcess.
D．Despite the remarkable shift t clean and lw-carbn energy, challenges still remain.
31．Which f the fllwing can be a best title fr the text?
A．“The Ecnmic Impact f Cal Plant Clsures in the UK”
B．“Britain’s Cal Legacy: A Century f Pwer and Prgress”
C．“Renewable Energy Triumph: Britain Says Gdbye t Cal”
D．“The Final Cuntdwn: Britain’s Last Cal Plant Clses Its Drs”

Cral reefs (珊瑚礁) may be mre capable f adapting t htter and mre acidic (酸性的) ceans than we thught, raising hpes f preserving these bidiverse ecsystems.
Rising levels f carbn dixide in the atmsphere due t ur emissins pse a twin threat t the wrld’s cral reefs. Higher temperatures stress crals and this can lead t mass bleaching (漂白) and death. In additin, atmspheric CO2 absrbed by the cean makes the water mre acidic and weakens cral skeletns. This, alng with pllutin and verfishing, has already created a crisis fr the planet’s reefs.
T find ut mre abut the extent and speed at which cral species culd adapt, Jury and his clleagues at the University f Hawai’i cllected dzens f specimens f eight different cral species frm reefs arund O’ahu, Hawai’i. They were then grwn in an utdr lab under fur different cnditins: under tday’s climate, ne with temperatures raised by 2℃ but water chemistry unchanged, anther with temperatures held but water chemistry made mre acidic, and the last with bth temperature and water chemistry changed t prduce the warmer, mre acidic cnditins.
The test lasted as lng as six mnths, but “the crals did surprisingly well”, says Jury. All saw lwer grwth rates-a measure f cral health -under the mre stressful cnditins. Yet individuals f all species survived the cmbined stressrs, with n clear trade-ff between tlerance t heat and acidity.
In fact, there is building evidence f a significant ptential t adapt t changing ceans. Fr instance, in a secnd study published this mnth, Melissa Naugle at Suthern Crss University in Australia and her clleagues analysed heat tlerance f different cral species n the Great Barrier Reef. They fund unexpectedly large variatin in heat tlerance, even amng crals in the same part f the reef, which culd be especially valuable fr effrts t restre reefs by breeding mre tlerant crals.
“I’m cautiusly ptimistic,” says Lisa McManus at the University f Hawai’i, wh wasn’t invlved with any f the research. But she cautins that any adaptive ptential still depends n hw much cral is left after extreme events. “In a lt f areas arund the wrld, there’s little cral cver left.”
32．What is the effect f mre acidic ceans n cral reefs?
A．Mass bleachingB．Weakening skeletns.
C．Overfishing and pllutin.D．Higher temperatures and CO2.
33．Hw did Jury and his clleagues cnduct their study n crals?
A．By cllecting frm different ceans glbally.
B．By grwing under nly ne envirnmental cnditin.
C．By testing withut cnsidering cral species differences.
D．By cultivating in different cnditins with lcal cral species.
34．What can we learn frm Melissa Naugle’s study?
A．Sme species f crals may better help restre reefs.
B．Great Barrier Reef crals’ heat tlerance is equally high.
C．Envirnmental factrs slely decide Great Barrier Reef crals’ heat tlerance.
D．Heat-tlerance variatin amng Great Barrier Reef crals is t minr t matter.
35．What is the attitude f Lisa McManus twards the future f cral reefs?
A．Assured, expecting full adaptatin withut wrries.
B．Anxius, fearing the appraching lss f cral reefs.
C．Negative, questining the adaptability f cral reefs.
D．Hpeful, with cncerns abut pst-extreme event survival.

Amazn has reached what its funder and CEO Jeff Bezs called “an interesting milestne.” The retailing giant s highly assciated with bks and then music and vide, nw has tens f millins f prducts and a majrity are nn-media gds, frm drills t tennis balls t almst anything else that can be shipped.
36 The 48-year-ld has fficially transfrmed Amazn, which he funded in 1994, frm an nline bkstre selling ther stuff t a retailer that nce sld mstly bks. Then, Amazns stck (股票) is up 397 percent in the last five years.
S, what’s behind the success? 37 Bezs regularly leaves ne seat pen at meetings and infrms all attendees that they shuld cnsider that seat ccupied by their custmer, the mst imprtant persn in the rm.
Always trying t find ut what custmers want, Bezs is even stricter abut what custmers dn’t want. They hate delays, defects and ut-f-stck prducts, s the cmpany cnstantly lks t make them as rare as pssible. 38 Amazn’s data shws that a 0.1 secnd delay in page lading can translate int a ne percent drp in custmer activity.
But it desn’t fully explain the extrardinary success. Fr Bezs, a data driven custmer fcus encurages him t take risks t innvate. Amazns kindle, fr example, came int being because he believed millins wuld want an e-bk reader, dwnlading any bk within 60 secnds. 39 Engineers were free t slve technical challenges as they saw fit, nly needing t make it right fr cnsumers.
Efficiency —cheapness, in the eyes f Amazn’s critics —is als an imprtant part f the Amazn culture. 40 In 2009, Bezs declared that Amazn had begun fighting against waste. The mre he culd get rid f needless csts, the easier it wuld be t deliver rck-bttm prices t custmers.
A．In fact, Bezs links the tw.

C．He set that target withut getting trapped by technical issues.
D．Even the tiniest delay in lading a webpage isn’t insignificant.
E．Custmers d enjy quick delivery, quality prducts and great after-sales service.
F．Bezs culd have dne it earlier, but he tk ver twenty years t cmplete that target.
G．Amazn managers wuld tell yu: the empty chair, the internal nickname f the figure that rules their lives.

He ran dwn t the kitchen and cried ut, “Mm! Why didn’t yu wake me up? The schl bus has already left and I am really late fr schl tday.” He culdn’t stp crying. “I have a math test tday and Mrs. Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test.” The calm face f Akhila made Manu feel mre anxius.

28．正确答案是C。文章第一段提到，Ratcliffe-n-Sar电站的关闭标志着英国142年的燃煤发电历史的结束。选项A和B都与文章内容不符，因为英国已经开始了能源转型，而关闭Ratcliffe-n-Sar电站并不是开始的标志。选项D也不正确，因为文章中提到英国的目标是在2030年实现全部能源来自可再生能源，这表明目标尚未实现。
29．正确答案是D。这句话出现在能源部长Michael Shanks的声明中，他提到了对过去140多年为国家提供电力的煤炭工人的感激之情。这表明，尽管煤炭时代即将结束，但英国作为一个国家，对那些为国家发展做出贡献的煤炭工人以及他们的工作表示感激。
30．正确答案是B
选项B：Dhara Vyas提到“Ten years ag, cal was the leading surce f this cuntry’s pwer—generating a third f ur electricity”，十年前煤炭占主导地位，而“t get t this pint just a decade later, with cal’s cntributin replaced by clean and lw -carbn surces, is an incredible achievement”，在这种情况下十年内清洁能源取代煤炭是意想不到的，B选项符合文意。
31．正确答案是D。文章主要讲述了英国最后一个燃煤发电厂关闭的事件，以及这一事件在英国能源转型中的意义。选项D直接反映了文章的核心内容，即英国最后一个燃煤电厂的关闭。
32-35 BDAD
32．正确答案B
文章中提到，由于人类排放导致的大气中二氧化碳水平上升，对世界上的珊瑚礁构成了双重威胁。其中一个威胁是，大气中的CO2被海洋吸收后，会使海水变得更酸性，从而削弱珊瑚的骨架。因此，选项B正确地指出了由CO2吸收导致的海洋酸化对珊瑚骨架的影响。

根据文章，他们从夏威夷瓦胡岛（当地）采集多种珊瑚物种，并在不同的条件下进行培育实验，“By culturing in different cnditins with lcal cral species”（通过用当地珊瑚物种在不同条件下培育）准确描述了研究方法，所以D选项正确。
34．正确答案A
Melissa Naugle的研究发现大堡礁珊瑚耐热性存在显著的差异，所以有些珊瑚会有更好的效果，A正确。
35．正确答案D

解析：
本篇文章介绍了亚马逊创始人 Jeff Bezs成功的秘诀。
36．根据前文“The retailing giant s highly assciated with bks and then music and vide, nw has tens f millins f prducts and a majrity are nn-media gds, frm drills t tennis balls t almst anything else that can be shipped.”“That turning pint”指代了第一段中提到的“亚马逊从主要销售书籍、音乐和视频为主和其他媒体商品转变为拥有数千万种产品的零售商。”第二段继续指出现年48岁的贝佐斯正式改变了他于1994年创立的亚马逊，从一家在线书店向一家零售商转变，且亚马逊的股票在过去五年里上涨了397%，说的是这种转型对贝佐斯的影响。
B．That turning pint might be Bezs’ greatest achievement.“这个转折点可能是贝佐斯最大的成就”符合语境，故选B。
37．根据空后“Bezs regularly leaves ne seat pen at meetings and infrms all attendees that they shuld cnsider that seat ccupied by their custmer—the mst imprtant persn in the rm.”贝佐斯经常在会议上留下一个空位，并通知所有与会者，他们应该考虑他们的客户所占的座位——房间里最重要的人，因此此处应该会提到与座位有关的内容。G. Amazn managers wuld tell yu：the empty chair, the internal nickname f the figure that rules their lives. “亚马逊的高管们会告诉你：这张空椅子，是统治他们生活的人物的内部昵称”符合语境，故选G。
38．根据空后“Amazn’s data shws that a 0.1 secnd delay in page lading can translate int a ne percent drp in custmer activity”亚马逊数据显示，页面加载延迟0.1秒可以转化为客户活动减少1%，因此此处应该是说加载页面的小小延迟也会造成很大影响。D．Even the tiniest delay in lading a webpage isn’t insignificant. “甚至是加载网页的最小延迟也不是不重要的”符合语境，故选D。
39．根据空后“Engineers were free t slve technical challenges as they saw fit, nly needing t make it right fr cnsumers.”工程师可以自由地解决他们认为合适的技术挑战，只需要让它适合于消费者，因此此处应该会提到技术问题，C．He set that target withut getting trapped by technical issues. “他没有被技术问题所困扰就设定了目标”符合语境，故选C。
40．根据空前“Efficiency—cheapness，in the eyes f Amazn’s critics—is als an imprtant part f the Amazn culture.”效率（在亚马逊批评者眼中是廉价）是亚马逊文化的重要组成部分。空后“The mre he culd get rid f needless csts, the easier it wuld be t deliver rck-bttm prices t custmers.”他减少不必要的成本越多，越容易提供低价。因此，此空格需要填入一个连接效率与减少成本浪费的句子。A．In fact，Bezs links the tw. “事实上，贝佐斯将这两者联系在一起”能够很好地承接前后文，并强调贝佐斯的经营理念。符合语境，故选A。

答案解析
41．happen t d：表示“碰巧”，Lillard是偶然发现Tucker的，所以用“happened t find”最恰当。
42．Tucker的经历是一次冒险，所以用“adventure”最恰当。
43．McCall在失去亲人后需要情感上的慰藉，所以用“cmfrt”最恰当。
44．make it意为“成功做到”，根据上下文，在接连失去亲人后，对McCall来说，如果没有这两只猫她可能成功的挺过来，所以用“made it”最恰当。
45．hit the rad为固定搭配，意为“出发，上路”
46．McCall 发现Tucker不见后非常惊慌，所以用“panicked”最恰当。
47．affrd t d：表示“负担得起…”，根据上文with tight budget可看出McCall没有足够的钱再住一晚，所以用“affrd”最恰当。
48．Lillard 发现Tucker在垃圾桶旁边，所以用“sptted”最恰当。
49．psted：表示“发布”，Lillard把Tucker的故事发布到了Facebk群。
50．根据语境，McCall在电话里听到Tucker的叫声后感到欣慰，喜极而泣。所以用“relief”最恰当。
51．根据语境，之前McCall接二连三遭遇了失去亲人的厄运，现在她的猫咪失而复得，一起开始朝好的方向发展，她的运气开始变化，所以用“changing”最恰当。
52．根据语境，Lillard乐意照顾Tucker，所以用“tend t”最恰当。
53．根据语境，Tucker在被Lillard精心照顾后应安全被地送回McCall家，所以用“safely”最恰当。

59．passes 考查动词的第三人称单数。句意：莱茵河流经六个国家……
