A
Here’s a guide to the best of the best nature documentaries. These top picks are a reminder that the planet isn’t
a background for our story, but a living, breathing thing that moves forward whether we choose to pay attention or
not.
Koyaanisqatsi (1982)
To call Koyaanisqatsi a nature documentary might feel like a stretch, but no other nonfiction film presents a
clearer criticism of the relationship between human beings, the systems we’ve created, and the environment that
sustains us. The title is a Hopi word that translates to “life in chaos” and it pretty much tells you what’s inside.
Maybe most notable is the fact that Koyaanisqatsi came out in 1982, and yet its unspoken observations about how
we use the environment in the name of commerce and progress are even more predictable today.
Grizzly Man (2005)
Grizzly Man is not so much a wildlife documentary as it is a tragic love story between humanity and the
wilderness. Timothy Treadwell, an amateur environmentalist, spent 13summers filming himself among Alaskan
grizzly bears, naming them, petting them, sometimes hand- feeding them, until one of them killed him and his
girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, in 2003. Werner Herzog pieces together Treadwell’s 100- plus hours of footage (镜头)
with his calm narration. Treadwell believed the wild could love him back; Herzog sees only how small we are in its
jaws.
Planet Earth I- III (2006-2023)
It feels like everyone has seen Planet Earth, but we’d be irresponsible not to include this TV series in our list
of favorites. From its start in 2006, when it was a big deal that it was shot in high definition, to the use of drones
and underwater craft while filming Planet Earth III in2023, Planet Earth has amazing and intimate footage and, ofcourse, the impressive narrator Sir David Attenborough.
Blue Planet II (2017)
It’s hard to overstate the cultural impact of BBC's Blue Planet II. The follow-up to the 2001 series (The Blue
Planet) showcases the deep sea in revolutionary detail. After the final episode ( “Our Blue Planet” ) aired, the
documentary series contributed to an international emphasis on marine plastic pollution. In fact, a Waitrose-
commissioned survey found that 9out of 10 respondents had cut back on single-use plastics.
1. According to the article, which documentaries might inspire people’s conservation awareness?
A. Koyaanisqatsi and Grizzly Man B. Planet Earth I-III and Blue Planet II
C. Koyaanisqatsi and Blue Planet II D. Grizzly Man and Planet Earth I-III
2. What can you learn about Grizzly Man?
A. It’s a scientific research on grizzly bears' habits.
B. It’s a guide on how to protect grizzly bears effectively.
C. It’s a sad story with the photographer killed by the wild animal.
D. It’s about the harmonious relationship between humanity and wilderness.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A digital magazine. B. A tourist brochure.
C. A museum guide. D. A course plan.
B
In the world of high school science fairs, most projects test hypotheses (假设) in chemistry or physics. But 16-
year-old Maria Gonzalez from Texas decided to tackle a different kind of problem: the “ugly” food waste.
Inspired by seeing her local grocery store throw away fruits and vegetables that were perfectly good but
slightly misshapen, Maria developed a mobile app called “Perfectly Perfect”. The app connects local stores with
surplus “ugly” produce to consumers and food banks at a discounted price.
“People often judge food by its appearance, not its nutritional value,” Maria said. “This leads to massive
waste, while many families struggle to afford fresh food. I wanted to create a simple solution.”
Users can open the app, see a list of nearby participating stores, and purchase a “surprise bag” of imperfect
produce at 40% below the regular price. A portion of the profit is donated to community food banks. Maria spent
months learning programming and negotiating with store managers to pilot her project.
Her effort paid off. In its first three months, the app directed over 5 tons of “ugly” food from landfills and
helped 50 low-income families get access to affordable fresh produce. Maria’s project not only won the top prize at
her school’s science fair but also caught the attention of the local city council, which is now considering funding toexpand the project citywide.
“Maria’s project shows that innovation isn’t just about high-tech gadgets (小工具); it’s about solving real-
world problems with empathy (共情) and creativity.” one council member remarked.
4. What is the main purpose of Maria’s app “Perfectly Perfect”?
A. To teach people about the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.
B. To provide a platform for stores to advertise their new products.
C. To reduce food waste and help those in need get affordable food.
D. To compete in her school science fair and win the top prize.
5. What can users do through Maria’s app?
A. Donate money directly to local food banks.
B. Order a bag of imperfect produce at a lower price.
C. Volunteer at grocery stores involved in the project.
D. Learn to develop their own apps and pilot the project.
6. What is the local city council’s attitude towards Maria’s project?
A. Doubtful and critical. B. Indifferent and uninterested.
C. Supportive and impressed. D. Careful and hesitant.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. High School Science Fairs: A Platform for Innovation.
B. Fighting Food Waste: A Teen’s App for “Ugly” Produce.
C. Teen’s App Fights Food Waste and Feeds Families.
D. How to Develop a Successful Mobile Application.
C
If you think art is just about gallery walls and Instagram likes, think again. Artolution, a global nonprofit
founded by artist Max Frieder, is proving that cooperative public art can do something far more powerful: help
rebuild lives in refugee (难民) camps and crisis-affected communities around the world.
Artolution partners with local teaching artists — often refugees themselves — to lead community mural (壁
画) projects, sculpture workshops, and performance art in places like Bangladesh, Jordan, Uganda, South Sudan,
and Ukraine. These aren’t just feel-good activities. They’re part of a larger strategy to support mental health, social
inclusion (包容) , and economic empowerment (赋权).
Each project begins with group sessions where participants — often children and youth — define a sharedvision. Then comes the cooperative art-making: painting murals, building musical sculptures from repurposed
materials, and even learning animation and digital design.
In partnership with organizations like UNHCR and Medair, Artolution integrates its work into broader mental
health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programs. Their 2024 pilot in Lebanon, for example, helped trauma (痛
苦经历)-affected communities reclaim public spaces through art, turning sites of pain into symbols of hope.
In the Rohingya refugee camps of Bangladesh, a young woman named Dildar — who had been unable to
speak due to trauma — found her voice again through Artolution’s workshops. Her story is one of many that show
how art can be a lifeline, not just a luxury. In Jordan, Syrian and Jordanian women are learning crafting and
entrepreneurship (创业) skills through Artolution’s Women’s Empowerment Project. These workshops don’t just
teach art — they teach independence, confidence, and marketable skills.
Artolution’s work is being recognized globally. In November 2025, Fairfield University will host an exhibition
and panel discussion featuring refugee-created artworks shown at the UN Headquarters on World Refugee Day
2024. The event will highlight how art promotes healing and community across borders.
As artists, we often talk about impact. Artolution shows what that really looks like — murals painted in
refugee camps, sculptures built from wastes, and performances that give voice to the voiceless. It’s a reminder that
art isn’t just decoration. It’s a transformation.
So if you’re looking for inspiration, cooperation, or a way to use your skills for good, Artolution is a model
worth studying — and supporting.
8. What can we learn about Artolution?
A. It focuses on organizing art exhibitions in famous galleries.
B. It employs art creation to help refugees across the world.
C. It helps refugees gain social media popularity through art.
D. It only operates in European countries to support local art education.
9. What does the underlined word “repurposed” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Remarkable. B. Rejected. C. Recycled. D. reliable.
10. Why are the stories mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To stress the importance of cooperation.
B. To illustrate the positive effects of Artolution.
C. To show the women are excellent at art creation.
D. To introduce the working procedure of Artolution.
11. What is the purpose of the text?A. To persuade. B. To argue. C. To entertain. D. To inform.
D
In today’s world, a photo can reveal much more than what meets the eye. A groundbreaking student project
from Stanford University has shown that artificial intelligence (AI) can now guess the location where a photo was
taken with surprising accuracy. The project, named PIGEON, was developed by three graduate students. Initially,
they trained the AI system to play a game that involved identifying locations on Google Street View. However, they
soon made a remarkable discovery: their AI had learned so much that it could also determine the locations of
personal photos it had never seen before. This ability to “geolocate” images moved from a simple game to a
powerful new tool.
This new technology is a classic double-edged sword, offering both exciting benefits and potential risks. On
the positive side, it could help people identify places in old family photographs where the locations have been
forgotten. It could also assist field biologists in monitoring plant species and tracking environmental changes more
efficiently. For educators, it could become a valuable tool for teaching geography.
However, these positive uses come with a concerning downside. As Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst,
warns, this technology could expose private location information — used in the wrong hands for business tracking,
government surveillance (监控) , or even stalkers (跟踪者) finding victims — making identifying someone’s
location from a posted photo a serious privacy and safety risk. The AI achieves this by detecting hidden clues in
images that humans might miss, such as vegetation types, soil conditions, architectural styles, and weather patterns;
during tests, it accurately identified many locations from the students’ cross-country trip photos (including remote
areas) , even locating a specific Yellowstone National Park campsite to within 35 miles.
Recognizing these privacy risks, the student creators have wisely decided not to release their full AI model to
the public. They hope this will prevent misuse while allowing for discussion about how such technology should be
managed. Stanley suggests that as AI continues to evolve, we must all become more aware of the information we
share online. A simple photo can reveal our location, and with advancing AI, that information is becoming easier
for others to access. This development reminds us that technological progress must be balanced with careful
consideration of its ethical (道德的) implications.
12. With regard to PIGEON, what can you learn from the first paragraph?
A. It was intended to recognize locations.
B. It instructed AI system to take photos.
C. It was created for Google by three graduates.D. It was originally expected to locate all the unknown images.
13. According to the passage, what is a potential upside of the project?
A. It enables government agents to conduct personal monitoring.
B. It allows marketing companies to track consumer behavior.
C. It helps stalkers find their victims’ private information.
D. It aids students majoring in geography in their studies.
14. Why are the creators of PIGEON not displaying the full model to the public?
A. To complete more tests on its performance. B. To maintain originality for their research.
C. To avoid giving away privacy and misuse. D. To sell the technology to private companies.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. To explain the technical principles of the PIGEON project in detail.
B. To introduce a powerful but potentially risky new AI technology.
C. To criticize the developers for not releasing their AI model.
D. To promote the application of AI in environmental protection.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a quiet afternoon, I was cleaning my closet when I found a dusty shoebox. Inside was a photograph that
captured my attention completely — it showed my father, young and dynamic, lifting my four-year-old self toward
the basketball hoop on our garage. My face broke into a carefree grin.
Nowadays, Dad was constantly occupied with work. I knew he was bearing the weight of our family’s world
on his shoulders. Even at home, exhaustion was his constant companion. I’d often see him massaging his temples
after long calls, his dinner growing cold on the table. Our conversations during meals were often brief and quiet.
The laughter frozen in that photo felt like a distant memory, buried under a mountain of responsibilities that he
shouldered alone.
When I heard his car arrive that evening, a sudden inspiration seized me. I discovered him collapsed on the
sofa, the day’s exhaustion written on his face.
“Dad,” I began, voice shaking as I showed him the photograph, “remember this?”
He studied the image, a faint smile touching his lips. “That old hoop…I remember how you’d beg to play
every evening.”“I was looking at this photo today,” I continued. “Would you care to shoot some baskets? Like we used to?”
He sighed deeply, his gaze drifting toward the window. “That hoop must be rusted solid by now.” The silence
stretched before he added, “I’m not that young man in the photo anymore.”
“Neither am I that little boy, ” I replied softly. “But maybe we could both use a break from being adults for a
while.”
He looked up, surprise gleaming in his tired eyes. The silence lengthened as I watched him weighing my
request against the fatigue (疲劳) in his bones. My hopeful heart began to sink — maybe I was asking for too
much.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A slow smile eventually spread across my father’s face as he rose from the sofa.

Here’s a guide to the best of the best nature documentaries. These top picks are a reminder that the planet isn’t
a background for our story, but a living, breathing thing that moves forward whether we choose to pay attention or
not.
Koyaanisqatsi (1982)
To call Koyaanisqatsi a nature documentary might feel like a stretch, but no other nonfiction film presents a
clearer criticism of the relationship between human beings, the systems we’ve created, and the environment that
sustains us. The title is a Hopi word that translates to “life in chaos” and it pretty much tells you what’s inside.
Maybe most notable is the fact that Koyaanisqatsi came out in 1982, and yet its unspoken observations about how
we use the environment in the name of commerce and progress are even more predictable today.
Grizzly Man (2005)
Grizzly Man is not so much a wildlife documentary as it is a tragic love story between humanity and thewilderness. Timothy Treadwell, an amateur environmentalist, spent 13summers filming himself among Alaskan
grizzly bears, naming them, petting them, sometimes hand- feeding them, until one of them killed him and his
girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, in 2003. Werner Herzog pieces together Treadwell’s 100- plus hours of footage (镜头)
with his calm narration. Treadwell believed the wild could love him back; Herzog sees only how small we are in its

Planet Earth I- III (2006-2023)
It feels like everyone has seen Planet Earth, but we’d be irresponsible not to include this TV series in our list
of favorites. From its start in 2006, when it was a big deal that it was shot in high definition, to the use of drones
and underwater craft while filming Planet Earth III in2023, Planet Earth has amazing and intimate footage and, of
course, the impressive narrator Sir David Attenborough.
Blue Planet II (2017)
It’s hard to overstate the cultural impact of BBC's Blue Planet II. The follow-up to the 2001 series (The Blue
Planet) showcases the deep sea in revolutionary detail. After the final episode ( “Our Blue Planet” ) aired, the
documentary series contributed to an international emphasis on marine plastic pollution. In fact, a Waitrose-
commissioned survey found that 9out of 10 respondents had cut back on single-use plastics.

In the world of high school science fairs, most projects test hypotheses (假设) in chemistry or physics. But 16-
year-old Maria Gonzalez from Texas decided to tackle a different kind of problem: the “ugly” food waste.
Inspired by seeing her local grocery store throw away fruits and vegetables that were perfectly good butslightly misshapen, Maria developed a mobile app called “Perfectly Perfect”. The app connects local stores with
surplus “ugly” produce to consumers and food banks at a discounted price.
“People often judge food by its appearance, not its nutritional value,” Maria said. “This leads to massive
waste, while many families struggle to afford fresh food. I wanted to create a simple solution.”
Users can open the app, see a list of nearby participating stores, and purchase a “surprise bag” of imperfect
produce at 40% below the regular price. A portion of the profit is donated to community food banks. Maria spent
months learning programming and negotiating with store managers to pilot her project.
Her effort paid off. In its first three months, the app directed over 5 tons of “ugly” food from landfills and
helped 50 low-income families get access to affordable fresh produce. Maria’s project not only won the top prize at
her school’s science fair but also caught the attention of the local city council, which is now considering funding to
expand the project citywide.
“Maria’s project shows that innovation isn’t just about high-tech gadgets (小工具); it’s about solving real-
world problems with empathy (共情) and creativity.” one council member remarked.
4. What is the main purpose of Maria’s app “Perfectly Perfect”?
A. To teach people about the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.
B. To provide a platform for stores to advertise their new products.
C. To reduce food waste and help those in need get affordable food.
D. To compete in her school science fair and win the top prize.
5. What can users do through Maria’s app?
A. Donate money directly to local food banks.
B. Order a bag of imperfect produce at a lower price.
C. Volunteer at grocery stores involved in the project.
D. Learn to develop their own apps and pilot the project.
6. What is the local city council’s attitude towards Maria’s project?
A. Doubtful and critical. B. Indifferent and uninterested.
C. Supportive and impressed. D. Careful and hesitant.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. High School Science Fairs: A Platform for Innovation.
B. Fighting Food Waste: A Teen’s App for “Ugly” Produce.
C. Teen’s App Fights Food Waste and Feeds Families.
D. How to Develop a Successful Mobile Application.【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. B

If you think art is just about gallery walls and Instagram likes, think again. Artolution, a global nonprofit
founded by artist Max Frieder, is proving that cooperative public art can do something far more powerful: help
rebuild lives in refugee (难民) camps and crisis-affected communities around the world.
Artolution partners with local teaching artists — often refugees themselves — to lead community mural (壁
画) projects, sculpture workshops, and performance art in places like Bangladesh, Jordan, Uganda, South Sudan,
and Ukraine. These aren’t just feel-good activities. They’re part of a larger strategy to support mental health, social
inclusion (包容) , and economic empowerment (赋权).
Each project begins with group sessions where participants — often children and youth — define a shared
vision. Then comes the cooperative art-making: painting murals, building musical sculptures from repurposed
materials, and even learning animation and digital design.
In partnership with organizations like UNHCR and Medair, Artolution integrates its work into broader mental
health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programs. Their 2024 pilot in Lebanon, for example, helped trauma (痛
苦经历)-affected communities reclaim public spaces through art, turning sites of pain into symbols of hope.
In the Rohingya refugee camps of Bangladesh, a young woman named Dildar — who had been unable to
speak due to trauma — found her voice again through Artolution’s workshops. Her story is one of many that show
how art can be a lifeline, not just a luxury. In Jordan, Syrian and Jordanian women are learning crafting and
entrepreneurship (创业) skills through Artolution’s Women’s Empowerment Project. These workshops don’t just
teach art — they teach independence, confidence, and marketable skills.
Artolution’s work is being recognized globally. In November 2025, Fairfield University will host an exhibition
and panel discussion featuring refugee-created artworks shown at the UN Headquarters on World Refugee Day
2024. The event will highlight how art promotes healing and community across borders.
As artists, we often talk about impact. Artolution shows what that really looks like — murals painted in
refugee camps, sculptures built from wastes, and performances that give voice to the voiceless. It’s a reminder that
art isn’t just decoration. It’s a transformation.
So if you’re looking for inspiration, cooperation, or a way to use your skills for good, Artolution is a model
worth studying — and supporting.
8. What can we learn about Artolution?
A. It focuses on organizing art exhibitions in famous galleries.B. It employs art creation to help refugees across the world.
C. It helps refugees gain social media popularity through art.
D. It only operates in European countries to support local art education.
9. What does the underlined word “repurposed” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Remarkable. B. Rejected. C. Recycled. D. reliable.
10. Why are the stories mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To stress the importance of cooperation.
B. To illustrate the positive effects of Artolution.
C. To show the women are excellent at art creation.
D. To introduce the working procedure of Artolution.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To persuade. B. To argue. C. To entertain. D. To inform.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D

In today’s world, a photo can reveal much more than what meets the eye. A groundbreaking student project
from Stanford University has shown that artificial intelligence (AI) can now guess the location where a photo was
taken with surprising accuracy. The project, named PIGEON, was developed by three graduate students. Initially,
they trained the AI system to play a game that involved identifying locations on Google Street View. However, they
soon made a remarkable discovery: their AI had learned so much that it could also determine the locations of
personal photos it had never seen before. This ability to “geolocate” images moved from a simple game to a
powerful new tool.
This new technology is a classic double-edged sword, offering both exciting benefits and potential risks. On
the positive side, it could help people identify places in old family photographs where the locations have been
forgotten. It could also assist field biologists in monitoring plant species and tracking environmental changes more
efficiently. For educators, it could become a valuable tool for teaching geography.
However, these positive uses come with a concerning downside. As Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst,
warns, this technology could expose private location information — used in the wrong hands for business tracking,
government surveillance (监控) , or even stalkers (跟踪者) finding victims — making identifying someone’s
location from a posted photo a serious privacy and safety risk. The AI achieves this by detecting hidden clues in
images that humans might miss, such as vegetation types, soil conditions, architectural styles, and weather patterns;
during tests, it accurately identified many locations from the students’ cross-country trip photos (including remoteareas) , even locating a specific Yellowstone National Park campsite to within 35 miles.
Recognizing these privacy risks, the student creators have wisely decided not to release their full AI model to
the public. They hope this will prevent misuse while allowing for discussion about how such technology should be
managed. Stanley suggests that as AI continues to evolve, we must all become more aware of the information we
share online. A simple photo can reveal our location, and with advancing AI, that information is becoming easier
for others to access. This development reminds us that technological progress must be balanced with careful
consideration of its ethical (道德的) implications.
12. With regard to PIGEON, what can you learn from the first paragraph?
A. It was intended to recognize locations.
B. It instructed AI system to take photos.
C. It was created for Google by three graduates.
D. It was originally expected to locate all the unknown images.
13. According to the passage, what is a potential upside of the project?
A. It enables government agents to conduct personal monitoring.
B. It allows marketing companies to track consumer behavior.
C. It helps stalkers find their victims’ private information.
D. It aids students majoring in geography in their studies.
14. Why are the creators of PIGEON not displaying the full model to the public?
A. To complete more tests on its performance. B. To maintain originality for their research.
C. To avoid giving away privacy and misuse. D. To sell the technology to private companies.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. To explain the technical principles of the PIGEON project in detail.
B. To introduce a powerful but potentially risky new AI technology.
C. To criticize the developers for not releasing their AI model.
D. To promote the application of AI in environmental protection.

On a quiet afternoon, I was cleaning my closet when I found a dusty shoebox. Inside was a photograph that
captured my attention completely — it showed my father, young and dynamic, lifting my four-year-old self toward
the basketball hoop on our garage. My face broke into a carefree grin.
Nowadays, Dad was constantly occupied with work. I knew he was bearing the weight of our family’s world
on his shoulders. Even at home, exhaustion was his constant companion. I’d often see him massaging his temples
after long calls, his dinner growing cold on the table. Our conversations during meals were often brief and quiet.
The laughter frozen in that photo felt like a distant memory, buried under a mountain of responsibilities that he
shouldered alone.
When I heard his car arrive that evening, a sudden inspiration seized me. I discovered him collapsed on the
sofa, the day’s exhaustion written on his face.
“Dad,” I began, voice shaking as I showed him the photograph, “remember this?”
He studied the image, a faint smile touching his lips. “That old hoop…I remember how you’d beg to playevery evening.”
“I was looking at this photo today,” I continued. “Would you care to shoot some baskets? Like we used to?”
He sighed deeply, his gaze drifting toward the window. “That hoop must be rusted solid by now.” The silence
stretched before he added, “I’m not that young man in the photo anymore.”
“Neither am I that little boy, ” I replied softly. “But maybe we could both use a break from being adults for a
while.”
He looked up, surprise gleaming in his tired eyes. The silence lengthened as I watched him weighing my
request against the fatigue (疲劳) in his bones. My hopeful heart began to sink — maybe I was asking for too
much.

【答案】 A slow smile eventually spread across my father’s face as he rose from the sofa. Grabbing an old
basketball from behind the door, we stepped outside into the cool evening air. The rusty hoop stood unchanged
beneath our garage light — a silent witness to years of growth and change. At first, Dad hesitated, his throws
awkward and unsteady, but soon laughter began replacing silence. Each time I passed him the ball or cheered when
he scored, something warm flickered in his eyes — the spark of joy buried beneath daily pressures slowly
rekindling between us.
After about half an hour, we stopped and sat down on the doorsteps, catching our breath. Leaning back against
the rough brick wall, Dad shared stories about past games played here with friends long forgotten, while I listened
eagerly, soaking up every detail like sunlight through frosted glass. “Thanks for reminding me what really matters,”
he said quietly, placing a gentle hand upon my shoulder. As stars emerged above us, their faint glow seemed lessdistant than before; similarly, that gap caused by responsibilities had narrowed significantly tonight — reconnecting
hearts once separated by life’s relentless pace.
