On December 16, 2023, the first section of Maya Train officially opened, which runs
between Campeche and Cancún, carrying up to 231 passengers across 290 miles and stop-
ping at 14 train stations,
Built as an ambitious effort to promote tourism and boost Mexico's economy, the rail
system connects the major cities and tourist regions of the Yucatán Peninsula-from Cancún's
beaches to Tulum's archaeological （考古的） wonders. Once the project is completed, the
entire rail system will link tourist destinations across five states. However, environmentalists
and archaeologists argue that the train route will cause great damage to the environment
and ancient Mayan sites.
The Maya Train passes through six UNESCO World Heritage sites, and thousands of
archaeological sites. One particular area of concern is the Calakmul biosphere reserve,
which is home to many endangered species, such as jaguars and over 500 other animal
species. The train lines, more than 60 meters wide, could act as artificial barriers that may
limit the movement of these animals within the reserve, making it difficult for them to
move around and access food and water sources.
Opponents also express safety concerns. Certain sections of the rail system will be
built right on top of the aquifer's （地下水层的） most fragile points of contact with the
surface. “It's like wanting to build over eggshells, says Guillermo Christy, a water treat-
ment consultant. "Putting trains weighing thousands of tons on top could cause the under-
学科网（北京）股份有限公司ground caves to crash down. " To construct the train infrastructure （基础设施） also re-
quires driving long piles deep into the ground, which poses a big threat to this fragile
ecosystem and leads to water shortages.
In the ongoing debate of Maya Train, it is crucial to consider the delicate balance be-
tween economic development and environmental preservation. While Maya Train may pro-
vide economic benefits, we must not overlook the potential environmental and cultural
losses, as well as the safety risks it may bring. Achieving harmony between progress and
conservation may be a significant challenge for the project, but we must take into account the
long-term consequences of our actions.
24. What do we know about the Maya Train project?
A. It consumes lots of labor in Mexico.
B. It was completed on December 16, 2023.
C. It has concerned some professionals.
D. It blocks the development of local tourism.
25. What is the effect of the train lines on the animals in the reserve?
A. They disturb their sleeping patterns. B. They restrict their activities.
C. They pollute their water sources. D. They engage their enemies to the
area.
26. Why does the author mention "eggshells" in paragraph 4?
A. To show the difficulty of constructing the rail lines.
B. To prove the urgency of protecting the fragile ecosystem.
C. To explain the reasons for water shortages along the railway.
D. To stress the potential harm of Maya Train to the aquifer system.
27. Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A. Preserving cultural sites requires strong financial support.
B. It is time to speed up the construction process of Maya Train.
C. Economic development should not come at the expense of the environment.
D. We should prize the economic benefits of the project in the long run.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth's history-a lost conti-
nent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5, 000-kilometer continent broke off
from Western Australia and began drifting （漂移）， leaving behind a basin deep below the
ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go?
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up
Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands,
only small continental fragments （碎片） surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this
theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn't really disappeared
but survived as a "very extended and fragmented collection" under the islands to the east
of Indonesia.
Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two
pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it dif-
ficult for scientists to locate and study the continent's geological features. However, with
advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodi-
versity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an
imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in South-
east Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates
the island's wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and ele-
phants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find marsupials
and cockatoos-animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this
may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into
Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As
the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the deli-
cacy of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the
world that we live in.
28. What do we know about Argoland?
A. It split into two pieces many years ago.
B. It broke away from the continent of Africa.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain.
D. It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia,
29. What does the underlined word "dispersed" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Crashed. B. Connected. C. Distributed. D. Disappeared.
30. Why does the author mention the "Wallace line" in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the early history of Argoland.
B. To stress the significance of tracing Argoland.
C. To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands.
D. To explain the evolutionary process of Australian species.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Discovery of a Lost Continent B. The Boundaries of Wildlife Habitats
C. The Geological Features of Argoland D. The Formation of the Argo Abyssal
Plain
D
A lot of manufactured glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate（碳酸钠）
can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn't break down in the
environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists
aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences' Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered
biodegradable glass made from amino acids （氨基酸）. That glass would have a smaller
impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test, glass beads （珠） made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of
mice, and the breakdown of the beads and the skin healing process were observed for 30
days. A diagram from the study shows how the mice's bodies broke down the beads. In
that month, the glass implant degraded beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur
grew back. "Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behav-
ior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced
obvious weight loss, " the researchers wrote in their paper.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable
glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in
heat. In order to overcome this hurdle, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids
using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass manufacturing. This is when materials
for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass
tougher.
"It's important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage,
and far from large-scale commercialization, " emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved
in the study, in a press release.
32. What is an advantage of the new glass?
A. It can be recycled at a low cost. B. It is produced without pollution.
C. It takes less time to. break down. D. It has a wide range of applications.
33. Why did researchers implant glass beads inside mice?
A. To assess whether the glass is biologically harmless.
B. To investigate why amino acids are medically useful.
C. To explore how long it takes for the glass to degrade.
D. To observe if the glass can be melt down in mice's stomach.
34. What does the underlined word "hurdle" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The instability of amino acids.
B. The difficulty of selecting materials for the glass.
C. Environmental problems caused by traditional glass.
D. The challenge of improving the heating-cooling procedure.
35. What is the attitude of Yan Xuehai towards the new glass's launch on the market?
A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain.

If you have ever looked closely at the tires on your car, you have probably seen little
hairs sticking out of the black rubber. 36 Are they there for any safety reasons? Those lit-
tle bits are one of the strange car features some people may stop to think about.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Located on the vertical part of the tire, these curious little rubber hairs are known as
“vent spews（轮胎毛刺）". They are crucial in the tire-making process. As the tread pat-
tern mold（胎面花纹模具） is pressed into the tire's rubber, the extra rubber requires a
way to escape the mold. 37
Curiously, there's no set number of hairs each tire will. have. 38 But the presence of
tire hairs is universal. They are nothing more than remnants （残余部分） of the complex
process that makes strong and durable tires.
39 Because they are found on the part of the tire rubber that doesn't hit the road, and
they have no impact on how well your tire grips（抓牢） the pavement in rainy weather.
These rubber hairs also don't have any impact on road noise or why your tires squeak
when you're driving. They are merely evidence of the new tire's arrival in the world.
Tire hairs are naturally worn away during normal driving, and the presence or absence
of these hairs doesn't determine if a tire is safe. There is one instance, however, where the
lack of tire hairs can matter. 40 As a responsible car owner, you should monitor the health
of your tires regularly.
A. Why do tires have hairs?
B. Tire hairs don't have any effect on safe driving.
C. Are there any other interesting facts about cars?
D. They look funny, yet every new car tire has them.
E. It could be a sign that tires are worn, old and need to be replaced. :
F. The exact number varies based on the design and size of the tires.
G. Because tiny-size escape vents are created throughout each mold, little tire hairs are
born.

It's a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dun-
huang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, 56
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The team 57 （devote） to protecting the 45, 000 square meters of murals（壁画）
and more than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of 58
takes about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are
the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over 59 （century）on the ancient Silk
Road.
Commonly 60 （see）"diseases" affecting the murals include cracking and flaking, as
well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and
the deposition of salts. To restore a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know
painting, master the skills of a mason（石匠） and have some knowledge of chemistry and
physics, 61 （be）able to recognize the problems and their 62 （correspond） causes and
deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experi-
ments, 63 formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.
The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of
the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals miss-
ing 64 fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” 65（appear） in
restoration.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the animal shelter,
Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog
huddled （蜷缩） in the corner. "I think I've found the one, " Sarah whispered softly to
herself as she looked into the dog's sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that
a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was
very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, "Hey sweetie, you
must have a story to tell, but from now on, you've got a buddy in me. "
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at
first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and
startle at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most im-
portantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and
gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah's patient and loving
guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond
with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it
would bring about another one.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heartwarming story
about dogs being trained to assist children with autism （自闭症）. Those children had so-
cial communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesita-
tion, she inquired about the program and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a
certified therapy（治疗） dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable
with the new challenge.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Their first day at the therapy center was filled with uncertainty.
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and
Buddy.
