R1
欧洲人登陆北美东北部时，这里土地贫瘠、新英格兰地区种植季短，加上农具匮乏，登陆数十年后才用上铁皮包裹的木质篱笆，土地利用效率极低。新移民借鉴原住民经验，改用锄头小面积播种，主打生长期仅 50 天的玉米 —— 这种作物易采摘、能供养人口，秸秆可制物，还能作冬季牲畜饲料。
移民们改良农具，将英国笨重的斧头改得短小顺手，伐木速度达欧洲的 3 倍；改良镰刀后，收割效率翻倍。他们筛选适配作物，放弃不适应的英国品种，改种玉米、南瓜，产量是英国粮食的 3-4 倍。但新英格兰河流浅、流速快，船只难抵农场，粮食虽自给有余，却仅有少量能对外售卖
R2
尼罗河是人类起源的绝佳之地，每年洪水带来富含矿物质的淤泥，维系土壤肥力，推动农业发展。考古发现，一万多年前古埃及人已种植小麦，公元前 5000 年出现永久定居点，其遗址和陶器与西部沙漠及非洲其他地区相似，印证周边居民因荒漠化迁徙至此。彼时尼罗河谷降雨充沛、物产丰饶，埃及经济呈缓慢发展态势。
公元前 3000 年，埃及定居点出现劳动分工、社会阶层与经济体系，南北两国通过砍树拓荒、修建堤坝运河，使耕地与人口大幅增长，城邦筑有城墙抵御外敌。两国经济繁荣，生产的精美红陶远销域外，也是世界最早的啤酒产地之一。阶层分化催生贫富差距，从建筑规模与贵族墓葬的金石玉器可窥一二。航海业兴起推动了与周边城邦的交流，尽管考古记录残缺，这种经济往来已被证实。

蚊子的摄食习性及相关生理机制显示，所有蚊子（包括雄性和雌性）主要能量来源为植物糖分（如花蜜）。雌性蚊子吸血是为获取繁殖所需蛋白质。雌蚊通过探测二氧化碳、热量和体味定位血源，其唾液含抗凝血和麻醉物质，助力吸血并减少被宿主发现的可能。蚊子消化系统中的嗉囊可分别储存糖分和血液，确保吸血时胃部仍有容纳空间。

写作部分
综合写作
第一套：
The reading claims that there are three feasible methods to store nuclear waste, but the lecturer disagrees with the reading and believes all these methods carry potential risks.
First, the passage mentions that surface thick-walled concrete casks can seal waste for thousands of years, with radiation shielding and warning signs. In contrast, the listening argues that civilization may collapse in a millennium, losing maintenance systems and the ability to interpret warning languages. Aging casks will leak, re-exposing the public to risks.
In addition, the author states deep drilling disposes waste cans kilometers underground, using bentonite for shielding, with low cost via mature oil drilling technology. Conversely, the lecturer notes current drill holes are only tens of centimeters wide, too small for waste cans. Earthquakes may collapse holes, breaking cans and contaminating deep groundwater.
Last but not least, the article suggests Antarctic ice sheets store waste, as self-heating melts ice for cans to sink, with ice refreezing to seal them. However, the speaker doubts this, as global warming accelerates ice melt and sliding. Unstable ice may carry cans to oceans, causing large-scale polar nuclear pollution.
第二套：
The reading claims that there are three feasible methods to prevent the spread of olive tree disease, but the lecturer disagrees with the reading and believes none of these methods work effectively.
First, the passage mentions cutting down infected olive trees to block disease transmission, as insects spread pathogens between trees. In contrast, the listening argues this cannot stop diffusion. To be specific, insects also spread pathogens to other plants, which retain bacteria. Insects jumping between these plants and healthy olives will keep the disease spreading.
In addition, the author states removing parasitic fungi from all olive trees can boost their disease resistance, assuming fungi cause susceptibility. Conversely, the lecturer says the fungi theory is wrong. Pathogens have two types: trees resist weak ones but succumb to strong ones, regardless of fungi. Thus, the reading’s premise is negated.
Last but not least, the article suggests banning plant imports from Italy to stop cross-border spread. However, the speaker doubts this, as the pathogen originated in South America. Many countries import plants from there, like infected South American coffee trees found in France, making the Italian import ban ineffective.
第三套：
The reading claims that the story of Phoenicians sailing around Africa is not true, presenting three reasons to support this view. However, the lecturer disagrees with the reading and believes the voyage is a historical fact.
First, the passage mentions that Phoenicians had primitive navigation technology and equipment, which were not advanced enough to let them cross the equator and reach the southern tip of Africa. In contrast, the listening material demonstrates an opposing argument that modern scientists built identical ships using the same ancient technology and successfully sailed around Africa. To be more specific, this experiment proves the feasibility of the Phoenicians' voyage with their existing tools.
In addition, the author states that Egyptian rulers were not interested in exploration beyond their lands. Conversely, the lecturer argues that King Necho II was an exception, as he was very interested in water transportation and even built canals. According to the listening material, Necho II wanted to find new trade partners, so he was likely to support the Phoenicians' overseas voyage. Thus, the author’s claim is heavily challenged again.
Last but not least, the article suggests that the Phoenicians' voyage was just a made-up story, since ancient people loved creating tales like sea monsters and magical islands. However, the speaker doubts the article and asserts that the story contains detailed records of the sun's position: when sailing in the Southern Hemisphere after noon, the sun appeared in the north. This unique astronomical observation is too specific to be fabricated.
学术讨论
套1：
In the next few weeks, we'll be talking about urban traffic management. Let's begin by discussing one popular idea-creating car-free central zones. Some cities around the world have recently designated their downtown areas as being automobile-free, which means that vehicles are not allowed to enter the city centers. Do you think that more cities should make their central zones car-free? Why or why not?
Claire
I support the idea of establishing free-car zones, because this will result in one important benefit because this will result in one important benefit for city residents: it will be better for their health. Instead of driving everywhere, people will be encouraged to walk or cycle more. It would be a great way to incorporate exercise into people's routines.
Paul
It sounds like a good idea, but I'm skeptical. My main concern is that many businesses located in the city centers, such as shops and restaurants, may suffer because the customers will no longer be able to reach those businesses by car. For some customers, if they can't drive, they won't go at all.
套2
Professor: Some people believe that it is better to take career risks when you are young, such as changing fields, starting a business, or accepting unstable jobs, because you have fewer responsibilities and more time to recover from failure. Others argue that it is wiser to take career risks later in life, after gaining experience, financial stability, and a clearer understanding of personal strengths. In your opinion, at what stage of life is it better to take career risks, when you are younger or when you are older? why?
Claire: I believe it is better to take career risks when you are young. At this stage of life, people usually have fewer financial responsibilities and more time to recover from failure. Even if a risk does not work out, the experience can still be valuable for future career choices.
Paul: In my opinion, it is wiser to take career risks later in life. After gaining work experience and financial stability, people can make more informed decisions about changing fields or starting a business. This reduces unnecessary risk and increases the chance of long-term success.
套3
Historically, students in schools have been required to memorize important historical dates and names,multiplication tables, math formulas, and sometimes even famous historical speeches and poems. Today, some educators believe that education should be focused more on developing critical thinking skills, which involve the analysis and evaluation of information. Do you think it is useful for schools to continue requiring students to memorize important information? whyor why not？（独立口语原题改编）
