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
Tree-planting projects are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, led by companies, nonprofits, governments, and communities. This raises the question of how investors or donors can choose which projects to support and assess their effectiveness. To address this, researchers of the Mongabay. app created a database to organize information on what reforestation projects publicly disclose. It is based on a comprehensive set of expert-identified criteria grouped into five categories — context, ecological, economic, social, and institutional — and assists users to identify suitable projects and ask informed questions.
●Why use the Mongabay. app
High standards: Our list of criteria was primarily drawn from the Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) approach, widely recognized as the gold standard across the restoration sector.
Transparency（透明度）: Rather than make an assessment of the quality of the projects, the Mongabay. app reveals how much information is publicly disclosed by an organization.
A growing catalog（目录）: The community is encouraged to share new projects and update information about existing projects to make this catalog the best available resource.
●How it works
To find a reforestation project that matches your interests, sort through the catalog using indicators from five key categories.
Once you have a list of potential projects, examine the circular diagram next to each one — this represents its transparency level: the more complete the circle, the more information is disclosed. Click on the diagram to di g into the detailed project chart, so you can make an informed decision on which project to support.
21. What is the main purpose of the researchers by creating a database?
A. To finance projects.B. To set up standards.
C. To launch initiatives.D. To help make choices.
22. What is the first step to find a suitable project?
A. Make an in-depth study of projects.
B. Outline a list of candidate projects.
C. Examine project charts in a diagram.
D. Assess a project’s transparency level.
23. Which project would interest an investor seeking clear information on forest type?
B
Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea.
Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets（网状网）: they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp（竖琴）”.
Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective.
The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below.
Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village.
24. Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons?
A. To predict the weather conditions.
B. To clarify the reasons for drought.
C. To check the efficiency of the mesh nets.
D. To work out a solution to water shortage.
25. What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”?
A. It was a musical instrument.B. It invited villagers’ acid words.
C. It presented an inborn fault.D. It featured a solid metal frame.
26. What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well?
A. Its upright-wire design.B. Its mesh-net structure.
C. Its weak surface tension.D. Its resistance to gravity.
27. What can we learn from Maya’s story?
A. Look before you leap.B. Better late than never.
C. Think outside the box.D. Time waits for no man.
C
On a snowy morning in Stockholm, the Candela C-8 looks like a standard speedboat. Once it picks up speed, something extraordinary happens: the hull（船体）lifts entirely out of the water, “flying” half a meter above the surface. This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils（水翼船）.
They are ideal for urban transport, says Gustav Hasselskog, the founder of Candela technology company. They are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run — the C-8’s cost per mile is about 5% of that of a traditional speedboat. In many cities, to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves, boats are usually speed-limited. Hydrofoils, however, cause almost no wake and thus travel faster. Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”.
The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts（支柱）, which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy. Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second, providing such a solid, smooth ride that the boat feels as though it is on rails.
The power needed to drive a hydrofoil varies directly with its mass, so minimizing a hull’s overall weight is also of importance. The wings must be small enough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat’s weight. The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing, and use carbon fiber. As for motors, Candela now has a partnership with makers of electric vehicles, allowing electric boats to use standard fast-chargers designed for cars.
The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.
28. What does Gustav Hasselskog expect the Candela C-8 to do?
A. Boost coastal tourism.B. Remodel urban traffic.
C. Lower travel expenses.D. Promote road building.
29. Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency?
A. Its type of drive.B. Its power source.
C. Its control systems.D. Its underwater wings.
30. What does the author think of the large traditional public boats?
A. They are out of date.B. They show huge potential.
C. They are irreplaceable.D. They need to be improved.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Electric Hydrofoils: A New Solution to City Traffic
B. Traditional Speedboats: Features and Cost Analysis
C. The Candela C-8: Reshaping Heavy-route Transport
D. Carbon Fiber: Equipping the Candela C-8 with Wings

You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works.
To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1, 090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority.
Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms（算法）prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks（僵尸网络）add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular.
Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind.
While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again.
32. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Disorder.B. Prejudice.
C. Contrast.D. Debate.
33. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text?
A. A false impression.B. A harmful behavior.
C. An overestimated post.D. A minority of commenters.
34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Why global web traffic misleads people.
B. Why the minority feels like the majority.
C. How we identify online harmful content.
D. What harm online misconception causes.
35. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Acting like the loudest few.B. Improving moral standards.
C. Avoiding online engagement.D. Valuing real-life interactions.

Why struggle with an essay when AI can generate one on your behalf in seconds? Why personally respond to an email when AI can instantly produce automatic replies filled with all the typical greetings and talking-points? 36 Nevertheless, the ease is not necessarily a good thing. Writing still can’t be replaced even in the AI-driven era.
Writing serves as a fundamental cognitive（认知的）exercise through which we realize what we truly understand, acknowledge the limits of our knowledge, and develop structured reasoning. More crucially, it is precisely by the very act of writing that we individuals ultimately make new sense of the world around us and arrive at a deeper understanding of who we are. 37
Paul Graham, a well-known computer scientist, once observed, “Good writers do not simply think and then record thoughts casually. 38“ Writing helps us generate ideas we have never had before.
Another critical but often overlooked function of writing is the compression（凝练）of ideas. 39 When done poorly, this process loses precious insights. When done well, it generates the insights and removes the unnecessary parts. Compression requires thinking, which is one reason why writing is so difficult.
AI can write for us, but it won’t help us learn to think or understand a problem with deep fluency. And we need deep fluency to solve hard problems. A world of common thinking available on demand will encourage people to outsource their thinking and reward people who don’t. 40 Original thinking will only become more valuable in the future.
A. It bridges the gap between ideas.
B. Many people depend heavily on AI.
C. AI has made writing surprisingly effortless.
D. They always uncover insights in the act of writing.
E. Those who can think and write independently will stand out.
F. This journey of self-discovery is in essence a vital form of learning.
G. Writing requires us to keep to a point and organize our ideas logically.

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 Mum told me to stay with Grandpa for a couple of hours, I was extremely unwilling deep down. “He doesn’t like me,” I said. “Oh, of course he likes you. He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence.
After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television?” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch.
Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess?” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play?” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually.
Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns（兵）moved straight forward; knights（马）moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces...I was amazed at how patient he was.
We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real.

W: Thank you.
M: So, Mrs. Warwick, can you tell us about your work in goal setting?
W: Well, when it comes to goal setting, I’m really focused. For example, if I want to lose weight, I’ll get a group of close friends around me and tell them I want to lose weight and improve my health. Then I’ll take action to achieve this goal by stopping eating unhealthy foods.
M: Why do you gather some close friends together?
W: It’s important for me because I need support. I know I can’t do it on my own. Also, it helps because I’m able to share my problems with them. And by telling other people I really want to do this and I seek your help, they can keep you honest, I suppose.
M: And why is it that most people do so badly at reaching goals?
W: They lose focus. Everybody’s life is busy. There are so many happenings in everybody’s life that they might have a goal, but then something will get in the way of that.

M: Recently, I stayed at the Royal Inn in the town of Bright Bay. It was a disappointing experience to say the least. The hotel was not at all as advertised. On its website the pictures showed beautiful gardens. When in truth, these gardens consisted of one bed of roses next to the parking lot. The rest of the space around the hotel was taken up by a busy road and a vacant lot. A pool was advertised, but we found there was no water in it. The only promise on the website that was kept was that free Internet access would be available in the rooms. In addition, the rooms were in very poor condition. The door to my room was broken and only opened and shut with great difficulty and a loud Bang, which is just shocking. Even worse, there were muddy handprints in the shower. I felt like I needed to clean everything before I could use it. It was disgusting. If this hotel had been very cheap, perhaps the problems would be forgivable. However, it was an average priced hotel. I would never recommend it to anyone.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了北加利福尼亚一个沿海村庄的高中生玛雅• 马丁内斯面对村庄干旱问题，通过观察海雾，发明了“雾竖琴”来收集淡水，解决了村庄部分用水需求的故事。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea.（玛雅• 马丁内斯是北加利福尼亚一个被雾笼罩的沿海村庄的一名高中生，她注意到在有记录以来最干旱的夏天，社区花园正在逐渐干涸。当村民们束手无策时，玛雅选择花下午的时间仔细观察从海上滚滚而来的浓雾）”可知，玛雅观察浓雾是为了找出解决缺水问题的方法。故选D项。
25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind.（起初，当她在一块结实的木架上挂上数百根细长的竖线时，邻居们怀疑地看着这个过程。对他们来说，这个装置看起来不过是一把“巨大的乐器”，在寒冷的海风中只能发出无用的声音）”可知，邻居们对玛雅的“雾竖琴”持怀疑态度，甚至用酸言酸语来形容它。故选B项。
26. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below.（相比之下，在玛雅的雾竖琴中，水滴撞击电线，慢慢合并成更大的水滴。最重要的是，由于没有交叉的电线来固定这些较大的水滴，重力很容易克服表面张力，使水毫不费力地沿着电线滑下，并收集在下面的水箱中）”可知，玛雅的雾竖琴的关键在于其直立电线的设计，使得水滴能够顺利滑下并被收集。故选A项。
27. 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets（网状网）: they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp（竖琴）”.（玛雅已经发现了传统雾收集网的一个关键缺陷：它们经常被捕获的水滴堵塞，这严重降低了它们的有效性。深入挖掘解决方案后，玛雅发现了两位科学家设计的一种新型装置 — “雾竖琴”）”可知，玛雅没有受传统方法的限制，而是通过观察和思考，发明了新的雾收集装置，这体现了“跳出常规思维”的精神。故选C项。
28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新型电动水翼船Candela C-8，其通过水翼技术实现高效、平稳航行，有望缓解城市交通压力，为沿海城市提供新的交通解决方案。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”.(Hasselskog认为，它们可以通过将交通从拥堵的道路转移到未充分利用的水路上来重塑城市交通，他称之为“蓝色高速公路”）”可知，Hasselskog期望Candela C-8重塑城市交通。故选B项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts（支柱）, which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy.(Candela C-8由三根细长的红色支柱支撑，这些支柱与两个水下机翼相连，将向前的运动转化为升力。通过将船体抬离水面，船只减少了高达80%的阻力，节省了大量能源）”可知，Candela C-8的水下机翼使其获得升力，减少了阻力，从而提高了能源效率。故选D项。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.（虽然大型传统公共船只仍然需要用于繁忙航线，但在城市的短途客运航线上，电动水翼船可能即将起飞）”可知，作者认为大型传统公共船只对于繁忙航线是必要的，即它们是不可替代的。故选C项。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils（水翼船）.（这是新一代的电动水翼船）”、第二段“Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”.(Hasselskog认为，它们可以通过将交通从拥堵的道路转移到未被充分利用的水道来重塑城市交通，他称之为“蓝色高速公路”）”和最后一段“The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.（潜在影响是巨大的，因为世界上近一半的人口生活在沿海地区，这些地区的城市经常陷入交通拥堵。虽然大型传统公共船只在繁忙航线上仍然需要，但在城市中短途的客运航线上，电动水翼船可能即将起飞）”可知，文章主要介绍了电动水翼船C-8的特点和优势，以及它如何通过利用城市水道来缓解交通拥堵，成为城市交通的新解决方案。故A项“Electric Hydrofoils: A New Solution to City Traffic（电动水翼船：城市交通的新解决方案）”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。
32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络世界与现实世界之间的差异，指出人们往往高估网络上的有害行为，并分析了造成这种认知偏差的原因及其影响，最后提出了缩小这一差距的建议。
32. 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident.（你上网一小时后，感觉世界要崩溃了。然而，在现实世界中，一个与你政治观点不同的邻居却帮你发动了汽车。这种dissonance并非偶然）”可知，前一句描述了网络世界带来的负面感受，后一句则通过现实中的例子展示了与网络世界截然不同的积极体验，两者形成对比。由此可推测，划线词dissonance指的是这种“对比”，与C项“Contrast”意思相近。故选C项。
33. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority.（大多数冒犯性帖子来自一小群高度活跃的用户，他们过度的帖子塑造了公众的信念，制造了一种“多数错觉”，使这一少数群体看起来像是常态，淹没了沉默的大多数）”可知，少数高度活跃的用户通过发布大量帖子，使公众误以为他们的行为是大多数人的行为，从而形成了一种“错误的印象”。由此可推测，“majority illusion”指的是“错误的印象”。故选A项。
34. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms（算法）prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks（僵尸网络）add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular.（我们的大脑天生就会注意到威胁和道德上的缺陷 — 负面内容会留在我们的记忆中。此外，社交媒体算法会优先考虑能引起强烈反应的内容，以保持用户的参与度，而虚假信息的传播速度比真实信息更快。僵尸网络增加了噪音：据报道，恶意机器人约占全球网络流量的三分之一，误导了哪些趋势和谁看起来受欢迎）”可知，本段主要分析了为什么少数高度活跃的用户会感觉像多数，即解释了“多数错觉”产生的原因。故选B项。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again.（关键在于认识到网络参与并不等于认可：跳过“最吸引人”的动态，将我们的观点建立在现实世界的联系上。想象一个广场，在那里，声音最大的几个人不会抢走麦克风 — 分歧依然存在，但空气中回荡着日常生活：邻居帮忙发动汽车，陌生人为你开门。在网上，我们可以让这种现实再次可见）”可知，作者建议人们应该重视现实生活中的互动，而不是仅仅关注网络上的动态。故选D项。

When done well, it generates the insights and removes the unnecessary parts.（如果做得不好，这个过程就会丢失宝贵的洞见；如果做得好，它就能产生洞见并去除不必要的部分）”中的“this process”指代G选项中“keep to a point and organize our ideas logically”这一过程，上下文逻辑一致。故选G项。
40. 上文“A world of common thinking available on demand will encourage people to outsource their thinking and reward people who don’t.（一个按需提供通用思维的世界会鼓励人们外包自己的思考，同时也会奖励那些不这样做的人）”指出AI时代思考能力的两极分化趋势 — 多数人外包思考，少数独立思考者获得回报，E选项“Those who can think and write independently will stand out.（那些能够独立思考和写作的人将会脱颖而出）”承接上文，明确指出能够脱颖而出的是哪些人 — 独立思考和写作者，与上文中“reward people who don’t（外包思考的人）”相呼应；下文“Original thinking will only become more valuable in the future.（原创性思维在未来只会变得更有价值）”进一步说明这种能力的未来价值，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

范文
Our first game began and I played with full attention. I carefully moved each piece, recalling Grandpa’s instructions, and even tried to trap his king. Grandpa smiled gently, sometimes nodding in approval when I made a good move. When I accidentally moved a pawn wrong, he didn’t blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it. The room was no longer silent — we chatted quietly about the game, and I even heard Grandpa laugh for the first time that afternoon. I forgot my initial unwillingness and got totally absorbed in the chessboard.
We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. She stood at the door, smiling in surprise as she saw us leaning over the chessboard, talking and laughing. “I see you two have made friends,” she said. Grandpa looked at me warmly and patted my shoulder: “This kid is a quick learner.” I grinned, feeling a warm connection with him. As we left, I told Grandpa I would come back to play chess with him again. For the first time, I realized that Grandpa wasn’t unfriendly — he just needed someone to share his time with, and that someone could be me.
