Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes Are there planets out there that are habitable Why is Venus’s climate so different from Earth’s even though the planets started out so similar
It’s perhaps because of this that the course lends itself to discussing the realities of climate change here on Earth.
Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. This combination makes sense to fellow astronomer Juan Madrid, who has taken one of Rector’s workshops aimed at educators.
“As astronomers, we are painfully aware that we have no Planet B,” Madrid says, “and that our planet is the only planet, the only body in the solar system that can sustain our species.” Madrid is a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He says when the topic of climate change came up in his class, silence would consume the room. Then, he began connecting astronomy concepts to climate change. Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth’s surface, warming it like a planet-sized car.
But the lessons in Rector and Madrid’s classrooms don’t stop at the stark (严酷的) realities of climate change. They also empower students, discussing the power they have to change the path we are on. “I think that’s a very important role that we can serve in helping people transition from just fear and shame to action and optimism,” says Rector.
And that sense of empowerment and optimism has, in turn, inspired Madrid. “I do have hope about all this,” he says. “But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead.”
4. Why is climate change discussed in the course Introduction to Astronomy
A. Because students will be tested on climate change.
B. Because Venus and Earth are quite similar at the beginning.
C. Because questions about climate change will naturally come up.
D. Because astronomy has to be combined with climate to teach the course effectively.
5. Why did Madrid give the example of a car in his class
A. To show how hot it is in a car.
B. To explain how the Earth is warmed.
C. To show how polluted the air is.
D. To explain how we can adapt to the weather.
6. What should be done to deal with climate change according to Madrid
A. Helping people to be powerful.
B. Asking people to stay optimistic.
C. Telling people about the hard reality.
D. Making people informed and prepared.
7. Astronomers for Planet Earth was founded for ________.
A. the future of mankind B. the achievement of careers
C. the profit of enterprises D. the development of science
C
Public transportation is at the heart of any working urban environment, enabling residents and visitors to move through cities efficiently and comfortably. Finland has pioneered a new era in bussing — both in environmental sustainability and passenger experience. Hydrogen fuels these new buses, while AI helps monitor the mood of the passengers, making it possible for drivers to keep a better eye on what is going on on the bus and put a stop to conflicts before they start.
In June, a fleet of new buses from Portugal arrived in Finland. For a few months the buses will undergo testing to see how they adapt to Finland’s difficult and changeable climate. If they can resist Finland’s weather, the buses will enter service in fall, making them the first hydrogen-powered fleet of buses in the country. According to technical reports, a standard 12-meter hydrogen bus consumes merely 6-7 kilograms of hydrogen per 100 kilometers, while larger 18-meter models require less than 9 kilograms for the same distance. This remarkable efficiency could revolutionize public transport systems worldwide. These environmentally friendly buses will be pioneered in Jyv skyl , a city of 145,000 residents, with a reputation for clean energy. Its public transportation system already includes vehicles that run on electricity and renewable diesel. In addition, it is the location for Finland’s first large-scale green hydrogen refueling station, making it a convenient place to pilot the bus program.
A new research initiative is employing advanced AI technology to enhance passenger safety and comfort. Using cameras, sensors, and analytics, the system interprets the passengers’ expressions and movements, helping the operators anticipate potential disturbances or conflicts that may erupt.
Through innovations in both vehicle technology and passenger experience management, Finland is establishing itself as a global leader in sustainable urban transportation, creating models that could shape the future of public mobility systems worldwide.
8. According to paragraph 2, why are the new buses efficient
A. Because they suit cold climates.
B. Because they reduce fuel consumption.
C. Because they plan the shortest routes.
D. Because they are imported from Portugal.
9. Why was Jyv skyl chosen for the program
A. It has open-minded residents.
B. It has the most changeable weather.
C. It has existing clean energy facilities.
D. It excels at manufacturing electric vehicles.
10. What is the AI system mainly used for
A. Predicting possible arguments. B. Evaluating transportation solutions.
C. Recording passenger conversations. D. Monitoring operators’ performance.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Why the rush B. How to travel C. Where to go D. Who to praise
D
In Victorian Britain, Londoners could receive up to 12 postal deliveries a day. Daily communications could begin with a morning invitation to dinner, continue with a midday argument, and conclude with a compromise—all before nightfall. We often imagine predigital era similar to ours now but without our digital distractions, but it was not so. With letters flooding in, an ever-filling doormat might easily overwhelm even a gentleman.
Distraction is claimed to be the cognitive crisis of the digital age. In a recent Atlantic article “The elite college students who can’t read books”, Rose Horowitch reports that students now struggle to focus on even a sonnet (十四行诗). Many U.S. schools have replaced classic literature with shorter passages to prioritize workplace-relevant skills
But might historical context reframe these worries Would it help those who lament our growing inability to sit attentively through a classical music concert to know that the 18th-century symphony was not designed with the expectation of an attentive audience
Horowitch notes we might not see so much a decline in engaging with long texts as shifts in what is consumed and how: “Students see reading books as similar to listening to vinyl records — something that a small subculture may still enjoy, but that’s mostly a relic of an earlier time.” Meanwhile, audiobooks thrive. “Students can read…they just choose not to.” Might what we identify as an attention crisis be in part a shift in priorities
This isn’t to dismiss valid concerns. We must reconsider what types of attention we value. Intense focus can make us miss the obvious. A more diffused (分散的) focus might foster different cognitive skills. Is it possible younger generations are developing new, valuable modes of attention While real problems exist in today’s attention economies, history invites flexibility in how we engage with long-form culture. New practices of attention may bring social and individual good.
12. Why does the author mention Victorian letter writing
A. To criticize modern communication.
B. To show distraction existed in history.
C. To demonstrate writing’s importance.
D. To compare different postal systems.
13. What does the underlined word “lament” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Applaud. B. Regret. C. Measure. D. Encourage.
14. According to paragraph 4, what does Horowitch think of the attention crisis
A. It is a cultural decline. B. It is a novel phenomenon.
C. It is a change in preference. D. It is a problem without solutions.
15. What is the author’s view on attention
A. Traditional reading is outdated.
B. Digital skills will replace old methods.
C. Diverse attention modes are needed.
D. Attention spans are damaged.

Throughout history, the world looks for heroes in times of uncertainty. But what makes a hero A cape (披风) and tights Heroism is something that every one of us can aspire to, but not all of us will achieve. It takes a special kind of person to be a hero: bravery, compassion (同情，怜悯), dedication (奉献) and sacrifice.
In a paper published in Review of General Psychology, researchers Blau, Franco and Zimbardo agreed on a definition of heroism: Heroes voluntarily serve others in need and are willing to make sacrifices for these actions without expecting any reward or personal gain. ____16____. People who become heroes care for the people around them and are also able to see things from others’ perspectives. They value the well-being of others.
____17____. Despite your good intentions, trying to be a hero in a dangerous situation when you have nothing to offer others may be foolish and could create more difficulties for rescue workers. For example, first aid training or skills of kung fu may be useful in certain situations and pave the path for heroism. Besides, even if you possess heroic traits, the right situation must arise in order to truly become a hero. Only when there are dangerous situations can a hero rise up to save the day. ____18____. This is true bravery.
Heroes are needed every day, and we can read about them in the most recent news. ____19____. Doctors and nurses treat sick patients despite the risk of becoming sick themselves. Others have changed lives by donating a life-saving organ or just doing a favor when there’s a need.
Even though most of us won’t save the world, ____20____. American actor Christopher Reeve, most famous for his role as Superman, said, “A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.”
A. heroes are everywhere to find
B. To be a hero, you must have certain strengths
C A hero may risk his or her life to save others
D. we can work at developing the hero inside of us
E. Heroes are characterized by empathy and compassion
F. Often, the most heroic acts go unnoticed and are never celebrated
G. There are firefighters who run into burning buildings to save the people inside

It was the players’ great dedication that brought them the victory. Now years later, that simple decision of turning on the TV created a ____23____ for sports and a lifelong fan. But ____24____ I had never turned on the TV that day Would I still have the same passion for sports
How ____25____ would the world be if one seemingly unimportant choice never happened One would think it ____26____ how significant that event was. A decision a world leader has to make on whether to go to war seems to have a much ____27____ impact than a call on what a person decides to have for lunch. ____28____, even the most insignificant choices can have major effects, even changing the course of history. Could you ever believe that a little mold (霉菌) transformed the world Without it, Alexander Fleming would not have made the revolutionary ____29____ of penicillin (青霉素). It all happened due to a simple accident in a lab.
This does not have to be ____30____ to significant historical events, but small events can also lead to major changes in a person’s life. Turning on the TV ____31____ making a huge impact on my life. Through sports, I’ve learned the value of commitment.
It’s our choices that make each of us unique. Though they may seem ____32____ at the moment, over time the significance of each choice ____33____, making it more likely that you will see its impact.

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。
When entering seventh grade, I was excited about many new things, but one thing really bothered me — I started getting acne (青春痘). Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work.
I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain.
One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them.
But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛) I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful.
Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race.
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。
Then came the long-awaited sports day.

Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes Are there planets out there that are habitable Why is Venus’s climate so different from Earth’s even though the planets started out so similar
It’s perhaps because of this that the course lends itself to discussing the realities of climate change here on Earth.
Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. This combination makes sense to fellow astronomer Juan Madrid, who has taken one of Rector’s workshops aimed at educators.
“As astronomers, we are painfully aware that we have no Planet B,” Madrid says, “and that our planet is the only planet, the only body in the solar system that can sustain our species.” Madrid is a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He says when the topic of climate change came up in his class, silence would consume the room. Then, he began connecting astronomy concepts to climate change. Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth’s surface, warming it like a planet-sized car.
But the lessons in Rector and Madrid’s classrooms don’t stop at the stark (严酷的) realities of climate change. They also empower students, discussing the power they have to change the path we are on. “I think that’s a very important role that we can serve in helping people transition from just fear and shame to action and optimism,” says Rector.
And that sense of empowerment and optimism has, in turn, inspired Madrid. “I do have hope about all this,” he says. “But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead.”
4. Why is climate change discussed in the course Introduction to Astronomy
A. Because students will be tested on climate change.
B. Because Venus and Earth are quite similar at the beginning.
C. Because questions about climate change will naturally come up.
D. Because astronomy has to be combined with climate to teach the course effectively.
5. Why did Madrid give the example of a car in his class
A. To show how hot it is in a car.
B. To explain how the Earth is warmed.
C. To show how polluted the air is.
D. To explain how we can adapt to the weather.
6. What should be done to deal with climate change according to Madrid
A. Helping people to be powerful.
B. Asking people to stay optimistic.
C. Telling people about the hard reality.
D. Making people informed and prepared.
7. Astronomers for Planet Earth was founded for ________.
A. the future of mankind B. the achievement of careers
C. the profit of enterprises D. the development of science
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
C
Public transportation is at the heart of any working urban environment, enabling residents and visitors to move through cities efficiently and comfortably. Finland has pioneered a new era in bussing — both in environmental sustainability and passenger experience. Hydrogen fuels these new buses, while AI helps monitor the mood of the passengers, making it possible for drivers to keep a better eye on what is going on on the bus and put a stop to conflicts before they start.
In June, a fleet of new buses from Portugal arrived in Finland. For a few months the buses will undergo testing to see how they adapt to Finland’s difficult and changeable climate. If they can resist Finland’s weather, the buses will enter service in fall, making them the first hydrogen-powered fleet of buses in the country. According to technical reports, a standard 12-meter hydrogen bus consumes merely 6-7 kilograms of hydrogen per 100 kilometers, while larger 18-meter models require less than 9 kilograms for the same distance. This remarkable efficiency could revolutionize public transport systems worldwide. These environmentally friendly buses will be pioneered in Jyv skyl , a city of 145,000 residents, with a reputation for clean energy. Its public transportation system already includes vehicles that run on electricity and renewable diesel. In addition, it is the location for Finland’s first large-scale green hydrogen refueling station, making it a convenient place to pilot the bus program.
A new research initiative is employing advanced AI technology to enhance passenger safety and comfort. Using cameras, sensors, and analytics, the system interprets the passengers’ expressions and movements, helping the operators anticipate potential disturbances or conflicts that may erupt.
Through innovations in both vehicle technology and passenger experience management, Finland is establishing itself as a global leader in sustainable urban transportation, creating models that could shape the future of public mobility systems worldwide.
8. According to paragraph 2, why are the new buses efficient
A. Because they suit cold climates.
B. Because they reduce fuel consumption.
C. Because they plan the shortest routes.
D. Because they are imported from Portugal.
9. Why was Jyv skyl chosen for the program
A. It has open-minded residents.
B. It has the most changeable weather.
C. It has existing clean energy facilities.
D. It excels at manufacturing electric vehicles.
10. What is the AI system mainly used for
A. Predicting possible arguments. B. Evaluating transportation solutions.
C. Recording passenger conversations. D. Monitoring operators’ performance.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Why the rush B. How to travel C. Where to go D. Who to praise
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
D
In Victorian Britain, Londoners could receive up to 12 postal deliveries a day. Daily communications could begin with a morning invitation to dinner, continue with a midday argument, and conclude with a compromise—all before nightfall. We often imagine predigital era similar to ours now but without our digital distractions, but it was not so. With letters flooding in, an ever-filling doormat might easily overwhelm even a gentleman.
Distraction is claimed to be the cognitive crisis of the digital age. In a recent Atlantic article “The elite college students who can’t read books”, Rose Horowitch reports that students now struggle to focus on even a sonnet (十四行诗). Many U.S. schools have replaced classic literature with shorter passages to prioritize workplace-relevant skills
But might historical context reframe these worries Would it help those who lament our growing inability to sit attentively through a classical music concert to know that the 18th-century symphony was not designed with the expectation of an attentive audience
Horowitch notes we might not see so much a decline in engaging with long texts as shifts in what is consumed and how: “Students see reading books as similar to listening to vinyl records — something that a small subculture may still enjoy, but that’s mostly a relic of an earlier time.” Meanwhile, audiobooks thrive. “Students can read…they just choose not to.” Might what we identify as an attention crisis be in part a shift in priorities
This isn’t to dismiss valid concerns. We must reconsider what types of attention we value. Intense focus can make us miss the obvious. A more diffused (分散的) focus might foster different cognitive skills. Is it possible younger generations are developing new, valuable modes of attention While real problems exist in today’s attention economies, history invites flexibility in how we engage with long-form culture. New practices of attention may bring social and individual good.
12. Why does the author mention Victorian letter writing
A. To criticize modern communication.
B. To show distraction existed in history.
C. To demonstrate writing’s importance.
D. To compare different postal systems.
13. What does the underlined word “lament” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Applaud. B. Regret. C. Measure. D. Encourage.
14. According to paragraph 4, what does Horowitch think of the attention crisis
A. It is a cultural decline. B. It is a novel phenomenon.
C. It is a change in preference. D. It is a problem without solutions.
15. What is the author’s view on attention
A. Traditional reading is outdated.
B. Digital skills will replace old methods.
C. Diverse attention modes are needed.
D. Attention spans are damaged.

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。
When entering seventh grade, I was excited about many new things, but one thing really bothered me — I started getting acne (青春痘). Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work.
I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain.
One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them.
But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛) I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful.
Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race.
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。
Then came the long-awaited sports day.

The victory was a turning point in my junior life.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then came the long-awaited sports day. My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track. When the third runner approached, I grabbed the baton firmly and sprinted like the wind. Cheers erupted as I overtook two opponents. Crossing the finish line first, I saw my teammates rushing towards me with joyful screams. To my surprise, classmates patted my shoulder excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration instead of judgment. Kim hugged me, “You’re our superhero!” No one mentioned my acne — they only remembered my flying figure on the track.
The victory was a turning point in my junior life. Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance. I started raising my hand in class again and joined the school basketball team. Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair. When a new student once asked about my skin, Kim immediately defended, “That’s just his warrior paint from saving our relay race!” We all laughed, and I finally understood true friendship sees beyond surfaces.

M: If you dream of a newer and fitter you, starting this January, I have some bad news:70% of health-relatedNew Year's resolutions are given up in the first week. By the end of the month, 90% of us have got the chocolate cake back in the cupboard and the pizzas in the freezer, while the new gym membership card is gathering dust. This may not seem a very inspiring start on motivation, but we need to learn what has gone wrong, so that this time we can do it differently, with the help of science. I guess most of us have started something with good intentions, only to fail at a later stage through lack of time, money, energy, or commitment. So, what's the secret Exercise devotion, which means developing an organized program and sticking to it, applies to everyone; from great athletes who need the extra drive that turns a natural talent into an Olympic gold, to the overweight who need to do something to protect themselves against heart disease and cancer. Somewhere in the middle of these extremes, struggling to get to the gym three times a week, is you. This involves setting realistic goals, scheduling workouts, tracking progress, and adjusting the program as needed. You can do it. All you need is a bit of moral support and some good old-fashioned determination.
