第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Mangroves (红树林) are critical ecosystems that bridge land, freshwater, and sea. Home to various species,
they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide. Yet they continue to face threats from both
human activities and natural processes. The report, The State of the World's Mangroves 2024, examines global
changes in mangrove ecosystems over the past two decades.
Agricultural activities, including aquaculture (水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, accounted
for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. The report also highlights the impact of
第 3页/共 12页"natural retraction,” a term used to describe mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels.
Nonetheless, changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results. The rate of net
mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km2 per year in 2010
— 2020.
Protecting mangroves requires action at every level. Governments can expand protected areas and improve
monitoring systems, while conservation project teams restore damaged wetlands. The report also stresses the
importance of cooperation with local communities. In some projects, community members contribute knowledge
by describing the historical distribution of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have
observed. They also provide data through citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more
effective restoration projects.
21. What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020?
A. 38%. B. 47%. C. 49%. D. 62%.
22. What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades?
A. It damaged local economy. B. It worsened climate change.
C. It showed a downward trend. D. It expanded on a global scale.
23. What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration?
A. Make restoration plans. B. Establish protected areas.
C. Share ecological information. D. Update monitoring equipment.
B
In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending (修补) someone’s much-loved dress,
while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a
“share and repair” project, in the village of Crich.
第 4页/共 12页This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together
as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just
mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda.
Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for
donations to cover our costs,” says Linda.
Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to
everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an
amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis,” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a
positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”
This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming
up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to
fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of
nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students
learn to mend their connection to the natural world.
Whether a volunteer or event participant, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition
Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion
initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing
together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.
24. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project?
A. A repaired item. B. A volunteer appeal.
C. A classic handcraft. D. A donation campaign.
25. What does the sharpening service bring to Alan?
A. Better treatments of cancer. B. A steady economic support.
C. An optimistic attitude to life. D. Improved professional skills.
26. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Analytical. B. Mindful. C. Curious. D. Independent.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Loneliness is a common problem among young people.
B. Volunteers make great sacrifices for local communities.
C. It is difficult for people of different ages to communicate.
第 5页/共 12页D. Community inclusion activities connect different generations.
C
The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without
restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick
to specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when
human-built structures get in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In
2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the
construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier. To
Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping
hand getting around human-built structures.
On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid
a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000
times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little
attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely.
For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement
can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures
planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累 积 的 ) effect of multiple barriers is a real
concern for the green sawfish’s future.
As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are
moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings
through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the
ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life.
28. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By detailing research findings. B. By describing a natural scene.
C. By addressing public concerns. D. By challenging a common belief.
29. What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have?
A. It provided a new habitat for ocean life. B. It blocked the path of the green sawfish.
C. It attracted more new species to the area. D. It drove the green sawfish into deep waters.
30. What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings?
第 6页/共 12页A. They have reduced road accidents on land. B. They will replace ocean barriers eventually.
C. They have destroyed land animals’ habitats. D. They are urgently needed for ocean animals.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea B. The Ocean Where Life Is in Danger
C. The Sawfish That Lost Their Way Home D. Ocean Structures: No Harm Done
D
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural
ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their
attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew
Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent
spoilage (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential
for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most
widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat
was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room
temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, researchers tested the meat samples to count live bacteria and check common spoilage
organisms. They also monitored changes in pH and moisture conditions, and tracked bacterial growth at room
temperature. It was discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than
untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent
protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring
process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and
texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study
opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
32. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
第 7页/共 12页33. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation?
A. The variety of cashew species. B. The safety of refrigerated beef.
C. The changes in pH and moisture conditions. D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
34. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It performs best at room temperature. B. It can improve meat quality over time.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely
related.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

I used to love my nonstick pans, impressed by the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic coating (涂层)
may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to remove plastics from my life. ___36___ But I
still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.
To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and
cheaper. ___37___ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I could not turn on the light. Nor could I
brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.
___38___ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The
results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with
a potential risk of harmful health effects.
I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the
kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point
Woodruff made stuck in my head. ___39___
So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for
so many hours. ___40___ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around
them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I
could do, too.
A. I threw out obvious offenders.
B. We depend heavily on plastics.
C. I replaced my sons’ with cotton ones.
第 8页/共 12页D. I wanted to make life safer for my children.
E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics.
F. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere.
G. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.

After my parents moved back to Hong Kong, dim sum always ___45___ me to contact my mom. Most days in
Canada, I ___46___ the dim sum in an inviting way on my plate and shared pictures of it with her. In response, she
sent back hers. This held onto our ___47___. Despite our differences in our realities — mine as I sought my
___48___ between my life here and my roots there — and hers as she tried to regain her sense of ___49___ to a
home left decades ago, ___50___ dim sum photos, gradually became our ___51___ language.
We ___52___, still. Our feelings are often lost in translation. There may never be the right ___53___ — but
always the right food. Whenever we meet, we always ___54___ each other’s plates with dim sum, which look like
mountains of affection.
In Chinese, dim sum literally means “touch the heart”. For me, it always ___55___ its name.

The Biggest Dog on the Mountain
We liked hiking together. Today, we were looking for a trail over Wallace Mountain.
”It’s been over an hour,” said Jessc, my nineteen-year-old son. “Do you think the trail still exists?” We had
explored several paths but with no luck. We pushed through weeds mid-calf high for us, but neck-high for our
rusty-brown dog, Shadow. Once in a while, we would call Shadow back when she was attracted by the pleasant
smell of flowers. No longer slim and bouncing with energy, Shadow was the size of a large house cat, and always
content to curl up on the couch beside one of us.
Suddenly, we heard what sounded like many dogs barking in the distance, an unusual sound in the wilderness
around us. Curious, we climbed the ridge (山脉), only to find what seemed like a dog factory. Small dogs, big dogs,
brown dogs, and dogs I can’t even describe poured out. The hounds (猎狗) hit the ground, sniffing the air and
turning to face us. Before long, they went down from their side of the mountain. Jesse shot an alarmed glance at me
before turning to call in a firm voice, “Shadow, come here, stay.”
I patted my pockets, feeling for the pepper spray (防狼喷雾), so small it would never work against so many
第 11页/共 12页animals. I turned, surveying the nearby brush for a potential weapon. With the help of adrenaline (肾上腺素), I
broke off two thick branches from a tree and rushed to Jesse’s side, “Here you are!” “OK,” he said, “Dad, they are
coming to us.” My-mouth went dry. I glanced over at Jesse, his lips pinched (夹紧) tight.
The pack emerged from the valley, marching straight toward us. The dogs in the lead were now close enough
for us to see that most of them were three times larger than Shadow. With deep growls (怒吼声)，they ran straight
for us. Jesse swallowed hard and looked at me.
