Across the country are world-class spa s that tap into Iceland’s abundant, sustainable and mineral-rich waters from geothermal(地热的) sources. Iceland is a true destination, attracting tired travelers from across the globe. Secret Lagoon Secret Lagoon natural hot springs are located in the small village called Fludir. In the whole area there are several geothermal spots and a little Geysir which erupts every 5 minutes, showing off for the guests relaxing in the hot spring. During winter, the northern lights are often giving a great lightshow above Secret Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon The Blue Lagoon is a health and geothermal spa on the Reykjanes Peninsula. For ten consecutive years Blue Lagoon has been awarded the Blue Flag environmental recognition granted to natural beaches and hot springs. The lagoon holds nine million liters of geothermal seawater. Laugarvatn Fontana Laugarvatn Fontana is the place for relaxation and an authentic Icelandic experience. Soak in the warm geothermal pools and get energized in the natural steam rooms, with the hot spring bubbling right below you. Be sure not to miss a visit to taste the delicious rye bread that grandmothers of the area have been baking in the hot spring s of Laugarvatn for decades. M?vatn Nature Baths Located in the heart of north-east Iceland about 105 kilometres (65 miles) south of the Arctic Circle, Lake M?vatn and its surroundings are one of Europe’s greatest natural treasures.

B Finland’s system for returning drink containers started in the 1950s, and today almost every bottle and can is recycled. Convenience is the cornerstone of the system’s success. Nowadays there are almost 5,000 container-return machines across Finland. Most of them are located in the same shops that sell drinks, making returning them a convenient part of people’s routine. Hotels, restaurants, offices, schools and event organizers return containers through their drink providers. The return machines are easy to use. You place a bottle or can on a set of mini conveyor belts at the front of the machine. They carry it past a scanner and out of sight. The machine sorts the bottles and crushes the cans. When you’re done, you press a button and the machine gives you a receipt. Plastic bottles are worth 20 to 40 cents, depending on their size, while glass bottles are worth 10 to 40 cents and aluminium(铝) cans are 15 cents. The returned containers are recycled or the materials are reused. Across Finland, on average, every Finn returns 373 items in a year: 251 aluminium cans, 98 plastic bottles and 24 glass bottles. The government has entrusted this function to the private agency. “Palpa is completely nonprofit and receives no government funding,” says Tommi Vihavainen, Palpa’s director of producer services, ICT and communication. Russia, the UK and other countries have shown interest in the Finnish system. “Most visitors want to see how the return system works in Finland,” says Vihavainen. “We don’t act as consultants, but we’re proud to present our system.” 24. What do we know about Finland’s system for returning drink containers? A. It still has a long way to develop. B. It gains popularity for its convenience. C. It used to be fashionable but now out-dated. D. It’s supported financially by the government. 25. Why does the writer use the figures in paragraph 3? A. To show Finns consume various drinks. B. To help make the story more interesting. C. To make the impact of the system convincing. D. To guarantee the proper logic of the passage. 26. What’s Vihavainen’s attitude towards the return system? A. Indifferent. B. Positive. C. Pessimistic. D. Dismissive. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. Finland’s recycling programme keeps bottles off streets. B. The return machines in the world are popular and easy. C. Palpa—a complete nonprofit to recycle the bottles. D. Finland—a country free of waste such as bottles. C July was the world’s hottest month on record. Wildfires this summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and caused excuations(疏散) in Canada. Greece, and Thailand. Floods devastated towns in Vermont in July and killed thousands of Libyans in September. John Vaillant’s new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline: the city of Fort McMurray, in northern Canada’s vast forest, where an uncontrollable wildfire during an exceptionally warm spring in 2016 flooded entire communities within days. Vaillant tells his story at disaster-movie pace, starting with the glimpse of smoke on the horizon and assurances from the authorities that all will be fine. Mounting misfortune follows as the flames lick golf courses on the city’s edge. By the end, 90, 00 people had been evacuated, 2,500 structures destroyed, another 500 damaged. The energy generated by the fire created its own weather system, with hurricane force winds and lightning strikes. What attracts me most is the book’s central irony. The story takes place in Fort McMurrary, which is the industrial centre of northern Alberta’s tar sands, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel deposits. It is a city whose existence depends on the hydrocarbons whose burning caused climate change; but whose existence almost ended in a climate-caused burning. Fire Weather isn’t a typical disaster book. Vaillant’s references to Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney, The Lord of the Rings, Xerxes, and Moby-Dick can grant. But Vaillant’s theme is also catching my eyes. Our industrial world is releasing carbon at a rate 10 times faster than scientists can find in the geological record for the past 250mn years, he writes. “Thanks to fire and our appetite for boundless energy, we have evolved into a geologic event that will be measurable a million years from now.” 28. What’s the purpose of mentioning the examples in paragraph 1? A. To show the varieties of nature disasters. B. To engage the readers in the same topic. C. To indicate the difficulties of these areas. D. To provide the background of the book. 29. What’s special about the book according to this passage? A. Plot and viewpoint. B. Character and conflict. C. Setting and theme. D. Tone and style. 30. What does the underlined word “grant” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Be presented. B. Be refused. C. Be preserved. D. Be recorded. 31. Where as the text most probably taken from? A. An essay on the climate change. B. A guidebook to Fort McMurrary. C. A review of world disasters. D. An introduction to a book. D The past few months have brought electrifying news that, for the first time, a gene treatment has provided some hearing to children born with deafness. Eli Lilly announced this week, for example, that a profoundly deaf boy from Morocco given its treatment as part of a clinical trial in Philadelphia can now hear. And five children in China treated similarly at younger ages gained hearing with some able to verbally communicate without their cochlear implants(人工耳蜗). Their hearing recovery, first covered by the press in October 2023, is described in de tail this week in The Lancet. “It’s an enormous achievement,” says geneticist Karen Avraham of Tel Aviv University. Otolaryngologist(耳鼻喉科专家) and gene therapist Lawrence Lustig of Columbia University, whose lab was among the first to test the same approach in mice, agrees. “Other than cochlear implants, we haven’t really had any successful treatment s to treat deafness,” he notes. The various efforts from companies and academic centers each use a virus to insert the same gene, OTOF, into the children’s inner ear so the so-called hair cells there can sense sound and transmit it to the brain. The new deafness treatments add to a string of recent successes for the gene treatment field, but also raise questions. The ear’s hair cells don’t divide, so the new copies of OTOF they contain should persist and continue to instruct the cells to make OTOF. Gene expression could drop off over time or the ear could mount an immune response that shuts it off. But Lustig is optimistic that the various challenges will be overcome. “Now that we’ve got one success story, there’s going to be more money coming in to fund some of these other projects,” he says. 32. What do we know about the new treatment? A. It is a totally mature practice. B. It’s a China-only clinical trial. C. It uses a virus to sense sound. D. It aims to treat the deafness. 33. Which of the following best describes the impact of the treatment? A. Breakthrough. B. Regret. C. Disappointment. D. Adventure. 34. What is the problem of the gene treatment? A. The brain refuses to receive it. B. Gene stops to produce hair cells. C. Gene expression might be weakened. D. Companies really profit a lot from it. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Electrifying News Based on Some Clinical Trials B. Gene Treatment That Brings Deaf Children Hope C. Ways How Scientists Develop Cochlear Implants D. Challenges About the New Deafness Treatment 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）。 Plogging is a great way to make your little area of the world a little cleaner, brighter, and safer while boosting your own health, fitness, and mood.

However, there is no drone 57 camera, and you needn’t travel in person because the video was generated by AI, which is from a new tool programmed by Open AI called Sora. It’s not perfect, but it’s a large step up from what we’ve seen before. What most people don’t know is 58 Sora can do more than just create videos from scratch. It can combine separate videos into one scene. And its videos can be up 59 a minute long and in 1080p resolution. 60 (compare) with Runway ML, the difference with Sora is that it’s coherent. Previous system have a 61 (character) morphing(图像渐变) quality as the video 62 (program). With Sora, that’s vastly reduced or gone altogether. The 63 (object) remain stable even when covered by things in the foreground. We’ve seen something similar to this in research since 2019, but what is new is the ability 64 (combine) two videos together in one scene. It can also make up different camera angles of a single scene with just one prompt. Sora, like digital audio workstation 65 (envelop) recording studios several years ago, must be a trend soon. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 上周你校举行了主题为“Reading and Sharing”读书分享活动。请你为校英语报写一篇报道，内容包括： 1.活动目的； 2.活动过程； 3.活动反响。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Reading and Sharing 第二节（满分25分） 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。 It had been a challenging week, marked by a sudden large increase in oil prices coinciding with a sharp drop in temperatures in Boston. It was nearly below zero degree. With three missed workdays under my belt, my upcoming paycheck was going to be lower than normal. The stress weighed heavily on me as I carefully sought for every conceivable opportunity to save pennies, ensuring that I could afford both groceries and keep the house warm. My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He had his heart set on a particular brand of yogurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yogurt decorated with a cartoon child skateboarding on its packaging, containing a mere two spoonfuls per cup. Such products, designed to lure children with their flashy marketing, only served to make me hate advertising. However, a bunch of parental guilt gripped me as his innocent eyes met mine, silently questioning, “Why is yogurt such a big deal?” Determ?ned to sweep his disappointment, I made a sacrifice typical of single mothers. I returned an item needed to the shelf, ensuring that he could enjoy his favorite yogurt. On the journey back from the grocery store, a sight caught my attention—a homeless man, holding a sign by the roadside. My heart ached, and I turned around, observing passers-by purposefully steer(绕开) clear of him, avoiding any meaningful interaction. Even my son didn’t seem to care much. either. Yet, upon closer inspection, I noticed the man—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill. 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。 Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.

The event kicked off with an enthusiastic introduction by our principal, followed by students and teachers sharing insights and experiences from their favorite books. Participants also recommended books to their peers, creating an engaging atmosphere filled with lively discussions. 第二段 Students expressed increased interest in exploring new genres and authors. The success of the event has encouraged the school to make “Reading and Sharing” a regular activity, hoping to continuously ignite students’ passion for reading. 原创续写 第一段 He stared at me with curious eyes, trying to piece together why we could afford to help someone else when we ourselves were in a tight spot. I took the moment to explain that even when life feels overwhelming, we can always find something to offer to others. “Sometimes, it’s not just about having enough, but about sharing what we do have,” I said, hoping to ins till a sense of compassion and generosity in him. My words seemed to resonate with him as he nodded thoughtfully, a spark of understanding lighting up his face. 第二段 Just before we were about to leave the homeless man, he impulsively took out the newly bought yogurt from the grocery bag and ran back to the man. Handing it over, he said, “I think you might be hungry.” The man’s eyes softened, his face breaking into a grateful smile as he accepted the yogurt. Watching this, I felt a surge of pride for my son’s unexpected gesture of kindness. It was a poignant reminder that true generosity comes from a willing heart, not from the abundance of what we have.

Discuss to make a list of possible measures. B 高二 | 英语 Speaking 高二 | 英语 Possible measures: Making digital models of a gallery for online tours is commonplace nowadays. It can help museums protect vulnerable masterpieces, but the online tour benefits museum visitors too. It allows armchair tourists to make virtual visits to online galleries around the world, where digital models of museum pieces can be comfortably viewed while a variety of relevant information about the exhibits is available at the click of a button. Speaking 高二 | 英语 Limiting the number of people to exhibitions is vital in preventing overcrowding which can damage delicate exhibits. For example, a room full of people can cause changes in temperature that can affect the items on display. Museums can limit the number of people by implementing a system where visitors must pre-book tickets. The exhibit could also only be available for viewing at scheduled times. These changes will help museum officials monitor and maintain tourist numbers better, thus protecting the exhibits from possible damage. Speaking 高二 | 英语 Building underground exhibition halls may be necessary for delicate masterpieces. Museums may choose this measure when exhibits are likely to be damaged by the natural elements like sunlight and temperature. The underground halls would normally not have windows, so light exposure is manually adjusted, and the temperature would also be monitored and controlled. Speaking Try to describe Qingming Scroll in your own words. 高二 | 英语 Homework
