When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream
garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon
discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In
previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.
Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I
decided to remediate (补救) what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture
can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing
crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and
livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond,
a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by
themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological
communities.
In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life
emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I
even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.
Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I
transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not
simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still
lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the
living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity
for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die.
24. How did the author use to improve the soil?A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags.
C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer.
25. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring.
26. What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To explain the process of transplanting.
B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks.
C. To stress the competition of different species.
D. To state the formation of multi-species communities.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild
C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers
C
A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology:
predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. Most of this work was done at a tech company,
marking a notable shift that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional
academic settings.
Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The
shape of a protein determines its function. If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious
diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein’s shape from its amino acid
sequence (序列) was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades.
The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can accurately
predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This tool has changed the field,
providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to
speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases.
The tech company’s success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial
intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that Al can tackle complex biological problems
and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine.
The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different
areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement
not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine
technology with traditional research to address global problems.
28. Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry?
A. They discovered a cure for Alzheimer’s and diabetes.
B. They analyzed the functions of essential body elements.
C. They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program.
D. They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research.
29. Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function?
A. It leads to the development of the diseases.
B. It offers insights into the structure of protein.
C. It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug.
D. It affects the protein’s role in biological processes.
30. What does the underlined word “underscore” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Minimize. B. Highlight. C. Question. D. Overlook.
31. What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research?
A. A new focus on solving biological problems.
B. An amazing change in academic research settings.
C. An increase in joint efforts between different fields.
D. A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques.
D
Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions
declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have
for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing
every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time.
One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假
释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or
after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were
increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required
less mental effort.
Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance,
people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many
choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals
feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option.
To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify
their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the
same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on
deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he
maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental
capacity for his creative work.
Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing
important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are
strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound
decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices
32. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text?
A. The lack of time to make decisions.
B. The difficulty of making logical choices.
C. The stress from making important decisions.
D. The limited mental energy for decision-making.
33. What does the study on parole hearings reveal?
A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks.
B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes.
C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases.
D. External factors have no impact on decision-making.
34. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do?
A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products.
C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products.35. What is the purpose of adopting routines?
A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality.
C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It wouldn’t fly. It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the
pigeon.
The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of
newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it.
Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself
up in self-defense.
“I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival
instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often
treat animals.
“I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well.
The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a
motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly
for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it
had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind.
I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance
to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could
become friends and end up adopting it.
I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me
have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique
bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for
jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right.

The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon.

Dear teachers and fellow students,
Today, I am honored to talk about protecting the environment, a topic that concerns us all. Our
planet faces severe challenges like air and water pollution, which harm our ecology and well-being.
Protecting the environment is crucial for our survival and the future of our planet.
Every little effort counts. As students, we can start by reducing waste, recycling, and
conserving energy. For example, we can use reusable bags instead of plastic ones, turn off lights
when not in use and participate in tree-planting activities. Additionally, we can raise awareness
among our friends and family about the importance of environmental protection.
Let us all take action today to ensure a sustainable future and reduce our environmental
footprint. Together, we can make a difference!
Thank you!
【答案】范文
So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. After all, I’ve always had a special place in my
heart for animals. I prepared a warm and cozy corner in my room for it. Soft rags were carefully
lined there, creating a comfortable nest. I talked to it softly, sharing stories of my other pets and the
adventures we had together. I even played some gentle music, thinking it might soothe the bird.
Gradually, the pigeon began to relax a bit, starting to peck at the grains and take small bites. It was a
small step, but it gave me hope that it was beginning to trust me. As night fell and deepened, I took
one last peek at the pigeon before drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon.
The sound was a delightful surprise, a sign that the bird was feeling more at ease. As we gathered in
my room, the pigeon slightly spread its wings as if testing the air. It seemed to have regained some
of its energy overnight. I placed a few more grains on the floor, and this time, the pigeon
approached the food directly, suggesting that it was slowly regaining its trust in the world around it.
Seeing this, my parents and I exchanged smiles with each other. By the afternoon, the pigeon had
made its way to the window. With a sudden burst of energy, the pigeon spread its wings and flew
away, leaving us with a heartwarming memory.
