Lanrick Jr. Bennett holds a unique title in Toronto: bicycle mayor. He led a Halloween Kidical Mass ride recently, which I attended with my daughter, son-in-law, their two dogs, and my granddaughter. He is working towards making cycling mainstream and safe for all residents in the city. I did not know that Toronto had a bicycle mayor; I surely would have voted for him in an election.
The bicycle mayor program is run by BYCS, an Amsterdam-based global NGO that believes “bicycles transform cities and cities transform the world”. Standing in the strange but wonderful Bentway, a park built under an elevated expressway, Bennett says, “BYCS has 150 bicycle mayors across the world. And through a few friends putting in some really nice letters of encouragement, BYCS offered me a two-year term as an advocate here in the city of Toronto, becoming the first bicycle mayor of the city.”
Bennett says he is boosting the work being done to make cycling more mainstream in Toronto. “I am giving a bit more exposure to the great work that has allowed me to be able to ride a bike throughout the city. It’s getting better, we’re seeing more infrastructure (基础设施), and we’re seeing more people not wanting to depend on cars as their primary piece. I’m happy that I have been part of a fantastic group thus far,” says Bennett.
Since there’s still a lot of work to do, Lanrick Jr. Bennett has been working hard to improve cycling conditions in Toronto, and his efforts have been recognized by the community. He has been advocating for more bike lanes (车道), better lighting, and other safety measures to make cycling a practical option for commuters (通勤者). It’s great to see people like Lanrick.
Jr. Bennett working towards making cycling safe and accessible for all residents.

A. She is fond of varieties of outdoor activities.
B. She is supportive of efforts to promote cycling.

D. She is trying to make cycling the mainstream of the city.
5. What message does Paragraph 2 give us
A. The way Bennett got his position. B. Transformation of Toronto city.
C. Bennett’s ambition to change the world. D. Mayor’s deeds throughout the world.
6. How does Bennett feel about his work
A. Upset. B. Challenged. C. Curious. D. Satisfied.
7. What can we infer about the current state of bicycle infrastructure in Toronto
A. It is the best in the world due to the presence of BYCS.
B. It has already well-developed and does not require improvement.
C. It is improving, but further work and development are still needed.
D. It is virtually non-existent, making Bennett’s job extremely important.

After a decade of negotiations, nearly 200 countries have agreed to a new United Nations treaty(条约)to protect the world’s oceans, the first of its kind in 40 years. The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030, setting a plan in motion to preserve this vast area.
Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to countless species of animals and plants. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy planet. However, overfishing and pollution from ships and other sources have severely impinged on many marine (海洋的)species and ecosystems.
The last major UN sea treaty in 1982 described the “high seas”—the parts of the oceans that aren’t controlled by any country—but it did not protect them. The high seas, which account for two-thirds of the ocean, currently have only 1.2% of their massive area protected. A marine protected area(MPA)is an area in the sea with strict rules about fishing and other activities. While more and more countries have established MPAs in their waters, most are not connected, limiting their effectiveness for migratory(迁徙的)species.
Last December, over 110 countries committed to protecting 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030.The High Seas Treaty now enables the extension of this goal to the entire ocean. It aims to make 30% of the high seas become protected areas by 2030 and requires that proposed activities on the high seas undergo assessment for their potential impact on the ocean environment.
Reaching the agreement was challenging due to differing views on ocean protection among countries, such as limits on fishing or pollution. Disagreements also arose over sharing resources between rich and poor nations, with the latter seeking an assurance that resources benefit everyone, not just those in wealthy countries.
The treaty is not yet final and must be officially accepted at a UN meeting. Then it must be approved and signed by enough countries before it takes effect.
8. What is the main objective of the High Seas Treaty
A. To protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030.
B. To allow unrestricted fishing on the high seas.
C. To promote international tourism in marine areas.
D. To establish new shipping routes on the high seas.
9. What does the underlined phrase “impinged on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Exchanged. B. Assisted. C. Impacted. D. Defended.
10. What does Paragraph 3 highlight
A. Strict rules of a marine protected area.
B. Current measures to restrict overfishing.
C. The limited number of migratory species.
D. The lack of protection for the high seas.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. New Plans to Develop Marine Resources
B. A New UN Agreement to Preserve Open Oceans
C. The Treaty Officially Accepted at a UN Meeting
D. The Cooperation on Sharing Resources Equally
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。该文章主要讲述了近200个国家达成共识,同意签署一项保护全球海洋的新《联合国条约》,这是40年来的首个类似协议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030, setting a plan in motion to preserve this vast area.(《公海条约》旨在到2030年保护30%的公海,并制定了一项保护这片广阔海域的计划。)”可知,这项名为《公海条约》的协议旨在到2030年保护30%的公海。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy planet. (它们在维持地球健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。)”可知,海洋对维护地球健康至关重要。同时根据后文的“However, overfishing and pollution from ships and other sources have severely…(然而,过度捕捞和来自船只和其他来源的污染已经严重……)”可知,此处表示转折,即过度捕捞和来自船只及其他来源的污染严重影响了许多海洋物种和生态系统。由此可猜测,画线词与C选项“Impacted.(影响)”为同义词。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The last major UN sea treaty in 1982 described the “high seas”—the parts of the oceans that aren’t controlled by any country—but it did not protect them. (1982年的最后一个重要的联合国海洋条约描述了“公海”——不受任何国家控制的海洋部分——但它并没有保护它们。)”以及“The high seas, which account for two-thirds of the ocean, currently have only 1.2% of their massive area protected. (公海占海洋面积的三分之二,但目前只有1.2%的面积受到保护。)”可知,本段着重强调对公海保护的不足。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读整篇文章可知,本文介绍的是经过十年的谈判,近200个国家已同意一项新的联合国条约——《公海条约》,这个条约旨在到2030年保护30%的公海。B项“A New UN Agreement to Preserve Open Oceans(一项新的联合国保护开放海洋协议)”适合作为文章标题,故选B。
D
Recycled, reused and renewable textiles (纺织品) only go so far in solving the fast-fashion crisis, writes Alexandra Carlton. The answer may lie in consumption.
Australia is the world’s second-largest consumer of clothing, generating 800,000 tonnes of textile waste yearly. Individuals consume about 27 kilograms of new clothes annually and cast 23 kilograms of waste. Globally, the situation is even more severe, with an estimated 92million tonnes of clothing waste produced each year. This equates to a truckload of clothes entering landfills every second.
If you want to stop our unwanted clothes from jamming the planet, you’d assume that reusing and recycling would lead the discussion. However, full clothes recycling—breaking clothes down to their base fibres to create new ones—is no simple task. Clothes consist of various fibres, fasteners, and decorations that traditionally require painstaking manual (手工的) separation. Yet, innovation is underway, such as the Swedish large-scale sorting facility Siptex, where textiles can be sorted by color and material using infrared (红外线) technology.
Brands like Adelaide’s Autark focus on minimizing output. “I keep my collections tightly designed and production numbers slim,” says designer Sophia McMahon. Sometimes this means she doesn’t have the exact clothes someone wants in store, but customers are patient while she makes items to order because they understand her brand’s essence.
Startups like AirRobe are giving clothes a second life and could be part of the solution. The clothing resale market is currently worth 49 billion and is expected to reach 103 billion by 2025.AirRobe lets customers add new purchases to their digital wardrobe so they can be resold later without uploading photos or descriptions. “The ‘re-economy’—the reuse and recycle market sector—will be a real opportunity for us,” says Erica Berchtold, CEO of The Iconic.
Researchers Samantha Sharpe and Taylor Brydges from the University of Technology Sydney advocate a widespread shift among consumers towards buying fewer, higher-quality clothes besides these innovations.
12. Why are the numbers used in Paragraph 2
A. To encourage factories to produce more clothes.
B. To emphasize the severity of the clothing waste.
C. To present the amount of clothing consumption.
D. To set the stage for discussing how to landfill clothes.
13. What does the author think of full clothes recycling
A. It is challenging. B. It is energy-saving.
C. It is unworthy of attention. D. It is time-efficient.
14. What does Sophia McMahon mean in Paragraph 4
A. Consumers should be patient to buy high-quality clothes.
B. Clothes specially designed for consumers are the most fit.
C. Adelaide’s Autark has enough clothes in store for consumers.
D. Slowing the production cycle is essential to reducing output.
15. What do the researchers suggest doing regarding consumer habits
A. Buying more clothes. B. Following the fashion trend.
C. Changing consuming behavior. D. Concentrating innovation.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了回收、再利用和可再生纺织品只是解决快时尚危机的部分方案,Alexandra Carlton撰文指出,答案可能在于消费习惯。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Australia is the world’s second-largest consumer of clothing, generating 800,000 tonnes of textile waste yearly. Individuals consume about 27 kilograms of new clothes annually and cast 23 kilograms of waste. Globally, the situation is even more severe, with an estimated 92million tonnes of clothing waste produced each year. This equates to a truckload of clothes entering landfills every second.(澳大利亚是世界第二大服装消费国,每年产生80万吨纺织废料。个人每年消耗约27公斤的新衣服,并丢弃23公斤的废物。在全球范围内,情况更为严重,据估计,每年产生9200万吨服装废物。这相当于每秒有一卡车的衣服进入垃圾填埋场)”可推知,在第二段中使用了这些数字是为了强调服装浪费的严重性。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, full clothes recycling—breaking clothes down to their base fibres to create new ones—is no simple task. (全衣物回收——将衣物分解到其基础纤维以创造新衣物——并非简单的任务)”可推知,作者认为全衣物回收是有挑战性的。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Brands like Adelaide’s Autark focus on minimizing output. “I keep my collections tightly designed and production numbers slim,” says designer Sophia McMahon. Sometimes this means she doesn’t have the exact clothes someone wants in store, but customers are patient while she makes items to order because they understand her brand’s essence.(像阿德莱德的Autark这样的品牌专注于最小化产量。设计师索菲娅 麦克马洪表示:“我把我的系列设计得很严谨,生产数量也很少。”有时候,这意味着她的店里没有顾客想要的衣服,但顾客们在她定做衣服时都很有耐心,因为他们了解她品牌的精髓)”可推知,放慢生产周期对减少产量至关重要。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Researchers Samantha Sharpe and Taylor Brydges from the University of Technology Sydney advocate a widespread shift among consumers towards buying fewer, higher-quality clothes besides these innovations.(除了这些创新之外,来自悉尼科技大学的研究人员萨曼莎·夏普和泰勒·布里奇斯提倡消费者普遍转向购买更少、更高质量的衣服)”可知,研究人员建议改变消费习惯。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As we stepped off the plane in Pucón, the lively atmosphere of the town immediately lifted our spirits after the long flight from New York.
The contrast between the freezing Big Apple and the warmth of Pucón was striking. The climate was delightful, which was a welcome change from the busy New York City.
“Feel that ” my friend said proudly, bathed in the gentle sunshine. “This is what I call a vacation!”
Our guide, Herman, was waiting for us with a broad smile. His English was limited, but his enthusiasm was boundless. He greeted us with heartiness, “Welcome to Pucón! I have everything ready for you.”
We spent our first day settling into the luxurious house he had arranged for us. The unique design of the house deeply attracted us. The house was a combination of modern luxury and traditional charm, neat and tidy, with tall windows framing the greenery outside.
Herman insisted on taking care of our every need. He would not even let us lift a finger in the house, which was above and beyond his duties.
One evening, as we wandered along the beach, the sky transformed into a canvas (画布) of rich colors. We were placed in a world of wonder. My friend turned to me, eyes sparkling, and said,“This is why we travel, isn’t it Moments like these make everything else fade away.”
As we planned to go to another town to admire the unique architecture, something unexpected happened. I got a fever.
Our explorations were cut short. Lying in bed, I could hear my friend pacing outside my room, worried. And our travel plans were put on hold as there was no choice but to rest in the hope that I would recover soon.
The next morning, my fever worsened. Being new to the area and struggling with the language barrier, we felt helpless.
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。
Just then, Herman appeared.

With Herman’s help, I began to recover.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just then Herman appeared. After he figured out what was going on, his face was marked by worry and concern. He sat beside me and took my hand. “I will take you to the doctor.” he said in simple words, and his determination gave us both comfort. At the clinic, Herman stayed by my side, translating and explaining the doctor’s instructions. His patience and care finally put me at ease. As I lay on the clinic bed, I whispered to him, “Thank you, Herman. I don’t know what we would do without you.”
With Herman’s help, I began to recover. Each day, he would visit me, bringing fresh fruit and updates on the town. As my health improved, we continued our plans, visiting local markets and trying new foods. Each experience was richer because of Herman’s presence. Before leaving Pucón, I thanked Herman with all my heart. “You’ve been more than a guide; you’ve been an angel. I will never forget your kindness.” The journey wasn’t just the memory of the beautiful scenery, but also the warmth of Herman’s friendship and the reminder that sometimes, a small act of kindness can make a big difference.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开,讲述了作者和朋友在Pucón旅行的经历。在导游Herman的陪伴下,他们享受了迷人的气候和友好的氛围,然而,作者突然发烧,旅行计划被迫中断。在病中,作者感受到了Herman的照顾和帮助,让他很是感激的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在这时,Herman出现了”可知,第一段可描写“Herman对我的担心,病陪伴我去看医生以及我对Herman的感激之情”的相关细节。
②由第二段首句内容“在Herman的帮助下,我开始康复。”可知,第二段可描写“Herman每天为我带来新鲜的水果和镇上的最新消息,我好转以后继续我们的旅行计划,我衷心地感谢Herman给我们带来的美好体验”的相关细节。
2.续写线索:Herman带我就医——我感到放心——感谢Herman——我康复了——继续旅行——再次感谢Herman——感悟

Lanrick Jr. Bennett holds a unique title in Toronto: bicycle mayor. He led a Halloween Kidical Mass ride recently, which I attended with my daughter, son-in-law, their two dogs, and my granddaughter. He is working towards making cycling mainstream and safe for all residents in the city. I did not know that Toronto had a bicycle mayor; I surely would have voted for him in an election.
The bicycle mayor program is run by BYCS, an Amsterdam-based global NGO that believes “bicycles transform cities and cities transform the world”. Standing in the strange but wonderful Bentway, a park built under an elevated expressway, Bennett says, “BYCS has 150 bicycle mayors across the world. And through a few friends putting in some really nice letters of encouragement, BYCS offered me a two-year term as an advocate here in the city of Toronto, becoming the first bicycle mayor of the city.”
Bennett says he is boosting the work being done to make cycling more mainstream in Toronto. “I am giving a bit more exposure to the great work that has allowed me to be able to ride a bike throughout the city. It’s getting better, we’re seeing more infrastructure (基础设施), and we’re seeing more people not wanting to depend on cars as their primary piece. I’m happy that I have been part of a fantastic group thus far,” says Bennett.
Since there’s still a lot of work to do, Lanrick Jr. Bennett has been working hard to improve cycling conditions in Toronto, and his efforts have been recognized by the community. He has been advocating for more bike lanes (车道), better lighting, and other safety measures to make cycling a practical option for commuters (通勤者). It’s great to see people like Lanrick.
Jr. Bennett working towards making cycling safe and accessible for all residents.
4. What can we say about the author
A. She is fond of varieties of outdoor activities.
B. She is supportive of efforts to promote cycling.
C. She is planning to participate in the election for mayor.
D. She is trying to make cycling the mainstream of the city.
5. What message does Paragraph 2 give us
A. The way Bennett got his position. B. Transformation of Toronto city.
C. Bennett’s ambition to change the world. D. Mayor’s deeds throughout the world.
6. How does Bennett feel about his work
A. Upset. B. Challenged. C. Curious. D. Satisfied.
7. What can we infer about the current state of bicycle infrastructure in Toronto
A. It is the best in the world due to the presence of BYCS.
B. It has already well-developed and does not require improvement.
C. It is improving, but further work and development are still needed.
D. It is virtually non-existent, making Bennett’s job extremely important.

After a decade of negotiations, nearly 200 countries have agreed to a new United Nations treaty(条约)to protect the world’s oceans, the first of its kind in 40 years. The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030, setting a plan in motion to preserve this vast area.
Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to countless species of animals and plants. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy planet. However, overfishing and pollution from ships and other sources have severely impinged on many marine (海洋的)species and ecosystems.
The last major UN sea treaty in 1982 described the “high seas”—the parts of the oceans that aren’t controlled by any country—but it did not protect them. The high seas, which account for two-thirds of the ocean, currently have only 1.2% of their massive area protected. A marine protected area(MPA)is an area in the sea with strict rules about fishing and other activities. While more and more countries have established MPAs in their waters, most are not connected, limiting their effectiveness for migratory(迁徙的)species.
Last December, over 110 countries committed to protecting 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030.The High Seas Treaty now enables the extension of this goal to the entire ocean. It aims to make 30% of the high seas become protected areas by 2030 and requires that proposed activities on the high seas undergo assessment for their potential impact on the ocean environment.
Reaching the agreement was challenging due to differing views on ocean protection among countries, such as limits on fishing or pollution. Disagreements also arose over sharing resources between rich and poor nations, with the latter seeking an assurance that resources benefit everyone, not just those in wealthy countries.
The treaty is not yet final and must be officially accepted at a UN meeting. Then it must be approved and signed by enough countries before it takes effect.
8. What is the main objective of the High Seas Treaty
A. To protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030.
B. To allow unrestricted fishing on the high seas.
C. To promote international tourism in marine areas.
D. To establish new shipping routes on the high seas.
9. What does the underlined phrase “impinged on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Exchanged. B. Assisted. C. Impacted. D. Defended.
10. What does Paragraph 3 highlight
A. Strict rules of a marine protected area.
B. Current measures to restrict overfishing.
C. The limited number of migratory species.
D. The lack of protection for the high seas.

Recycled, reused and renewable textiles (纺织品) only go so far in solving the fast-fashion crisis, writes Alexandra Carlton. The answer may lie in consumption.
Australia is the world’s second-largest consumer of clothing, generating 800,000 tonnes of textile waste yearly. Individuals consume about 27 kilograms of new clothes annually and cast 23 kilograms of waste. Globally, the situation is even more severe, with an estimated 92million tonnes of clothing waste produced each year. This equates to a truckload of clothes entering landfills every second.
If you want to stop our unwanted clothes from jamming the planet, you’d assume that reusing and recycling would lead the discussion. However, full clothes recycling—breaking clothes down to their base fibres to create new ones—is no simple task. Clothes consist of various fibres, fasteners, and decorations that traditionally require painstaking manual (手工的) separation. Yet, innovation is underway, such as the Swedish large-scale sorting facility Siptex, where textiles can be sorted by color and material using infrared (红外线) technology.
Brands like Adelaide’s Autark focus on minimizing output. “I keep my collections tightly designed and production numbers slim,” says designer Sophia McMahon. Sometimes this means she doesn’t have the exact clothes someone wants in store, but customers are patient while she makes items to order because they understand her brand’s essence.
Startups like AirRobe are giving clothes a second life and could be part of the solution. The clothing resale market is currently worth 49 billion and is expected to reach 103 billion by 2025.AirRobe lets customers add new purchases to their digital wardrobe so they can be resold later without uploading photos or descriptions. “The ‘re-economy’—the reuse and recycle market sector—will be a real opportunity for us,” says Erica Berchtold, CEO of The Iconic.
Researchers Samantha Sharpe and Taylor Brydges from the University of Technology Sydney advocate a widespread shift among consumers towards buying fewer, higher-quality clothes besides these innovations.
12. Why are the numbers used in Paragraph 2
A To encourage factories to produce more clothes.
B. To emphasize the severity of the clothing waste.
C. To present the amount of clothing consumption.
D. To set the stage for discussing how to landfill clothes.
13. What does the author think of full clothes recycling
A. It is challenging. B. It is energy-saving.
C. It is unworthy of attention. D. It is time-efficient.
14. What does Sophia McMahon mean in Paragraph 4
A. Consumers should be patient to buy high-quality clothes.
B. Clothes specially designed for consumers are the most fit.
C. Adelaide’s Autark has enough clothes in store for consumers.
D. Slowing the production cycle is essential to reducing output.
15. What do the researchers suggest doing regarding consumer habits
A. Buying more clothes. B. Following the fashion trend.
C. Changing consuming behavior. D. Concentrating innovation.

As we stepped off the plane in Pucón, the lively atmosphere of the town immediately lifted our spirits after the long flight from New York.
The contrast between the freezing Big Apple and the warmth of Pucón was striking. The climate was delightful, which was a welcome change from the busy New York City.
“Feel that ” my friend said proudly, bathed in the gentle sunshine. “This is what I call a vacation!”
Our guide, Herman, was waiting for us with a broad smile. His English was limited, but his enthusiasm was boundless. He greeted us with heartiness, “Welcome to Pucón! I have everything ready for you.”
We spent our first day settling into the luxurious house he had arranged for us. The unique design of the house deeply attracted us. The house was a combination of modern luxury and traditional charm, neat and tidy, with tall windows framing the greenery outside.
Herman insisted on taking care of our every need. He would not even let us lift a finger in the house, which was above and beyond his duties.
One evening as we wandered along the beach, the sky transformed into a canvas (画布) of rich colors. We were placed in a world of wonder. My friend turned to me, eyes sparkling, and said,“This is why we travel, isn’t it Moments like these make everything else fade away.”
As we planned to go to another town to admire the unique architecture, something unexpected happened. I got a fever.
Our explorations were cut short. Lying in bed, I could hear my friend pacing outside my room, worried. And our travel plans were put on hold as there was no choice but to rest in the hope that I would recover soon.
The next morning, my fever worsened. Being new to the area and struggling with the language barrier, we felt helpless.
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。
Just then, Herman appeared.
