When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours. In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing. About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked with. Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste. I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery—and the many others I’ve found over the years—by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling but has also deepened my connection to the past, making each stitch a bridge between generations. 36. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. The author’s deep interest in design. B. The author’s mom’s influence on her. C. The author’s growing love for sewing. D. The author’s preference for used clothes. 37. Why does the author recycle old clothes? A. To earn lots of money. B. To follow fashion trends. C. To learn new sewing techniques. D. To preserve stories and reduce waste. 38. How did the author feel after finding the photo in the dress? A. Excited. B. Ashamed. C. Confused. D. Surprised. 39. How did the daughter’s opinion affect the author? A. It made her feel guilty. B. It led her to take sewing classes. C. It caused her to give up on sewing. D. It made her appreciate her upcycling more. 40 How does the author honor her discoveries from upcycling? A. By giving them to her daughter as gifts B. By displaying them on a bulletin board. C. By donating them to thrift shops. D. By selling them online. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者一直喜爱缝纫，在快30岁的时候开始赋予旧衣服新的生命，回收旧衣服让作者受益。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I have had a lifelong passion for sewing (缝, 做针线活).

I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours.(我一生都热爱缝纫。当我7岁的时候，妈妈教我如何用针线缝纫，这是我最喜欢的消遣，因为天气太冷，下雪了，不能在外面玩。十几岁的时候，我开始设计和缝制自己的衣服。我在纸上剪出图案来做连衣裙和裙子，我会在旧缝纫机前坐上几个小时)”以及第二段“In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing.(在我快30岁的时候，我的关注点转向了赋予旧衣服新的生命。我开始购买旧衣服进行升级改造。我最喜欢买旧衣服的地方是旧货店。这种追求不仅仅是为了时尚；而是通过服装讲故事)”可知，前两段主要讲的是作者对缝纫的热爱与日俱增。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste.(她的话让我看到了我的爱好的价值，它不仅是一种创造性的表达方式，也是一种保存故事和防止浪费的手段)”可知，作者回收旧衣服是为了保存故事，减少浪费。故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter.(现在我把它撕碎了。我感到内疚。我向女儿提到了我的担忧和内疚)”可知，作者发现裙子里的照片感到羞愧。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste.(她的话让我看到了我的爱好的价值，它不仅是一种创造性的表达方式，也是一种保存故事和防止浪费的手段)”可知，女儿的观点让作者更欣赏自己的升级回收。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery—and the many others I’ve found over the years—by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room.(我决定把这个升级回收的发现——以及这些年我发现的许多其他发现——展示在我缝纫室的公告板上)”可知，作者通过把在升级回收中的发现展示在公告栏上来表彰发现。故选B。 C The Yellow River is the cradle (摇篮) of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions. One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance (管理) is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter (尤指电台或电视信号的发射机). They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said. “In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.” And in the sky, drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river. 41. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River? A. To study the wildlife in the Yellow River. B. To raise public awareness of river protection. C. To improve flood control and prevention efforts. D. To provide a virtual reality experience of the river. 42. How do the “smart stones” contribute to the river’s digital governance? A. They record water quality. B. They enhance the river’s beauty. C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markets for important locations. 43. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River? A. Providing entertainment for the people living along the river. B. Collecting data to update a 3D model for flood management. C. Transporting researchers to remote locations along the river D. Patrolling and getting first-hand wildlife photos. 44. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. To update the 3D model for accuracy. B. To prepare for a potential flood event. C. To strengthen the riverbanks and dikes. D. To increase drone monitoring over the river. 45. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The cultural and historical importance of the Yellow River. B. The future plans for improving the Yellow River’s construction. C. The use of smart stones and drones for flood control and monitoring. D. The development of a digital system for the Yellow River’s management. 【答案】41. C 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黄河数字孪生体的创建目的、运行方式和发展。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段后两句“And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. (洪水的控制和预防一直是生活在这条河上的人们幸福生活的关键。现在，科学家们可以通过给河流一个数字孪生体来更好地解决这些问题。)”可知，创建黄河数字孪生体的主要目的是加强防洪工作。故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. (它们被埋在重要的堤坝上，以记录和报告堤坝石块的运动。)”可知，智能石头通过监测和报告堤防的运动来为河流的数字化治理做出贡献。故选C项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. (在工程师设计的路线上，无人机成为河流的专业巡逻者，看着它的堤防和防洪工程。据黄河水利委员会的沈林介绍，多亏了无人机，指挥中心的研究人员可以获得第一手的照片和信息。“研究人员根据无人机报告的变化更新3D模型。新更新的模型可以帮助我们测试我们的洪水释放计划，以防我们需要封闭舱口。”沈说。)”可知，无人机在黄河数字化治理中的作用之一是收集数据更新洪水管理的3D模型。故选B项。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段后三句“According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. (据黄河水利委员会的沈林介绍，多亏了无人机，指挥中心的研究人员可以获得第一手的照片和信息。“然后，研究人员根据无人机报告的变化更新3D模型。新更新的模型可以帮助我们测试我们的洪水释放计划，以防我们需要batten down the hatches,”沈说。)”可知，使用无人机可以获得黄河水利情况的第一手资料，研究人员可以根据无人机发回的资料实时更新3D模型，这样做可以提早预防洪涝等紧急情况，以便做出快速回应。故推知batten down the hatches应表示“做好准备，未雨绸缪”等含义，与B项“To prepare for a potential flood event. (为可能发生的洪水做准备。)”同义。故选B项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Yellow River is the cradle (摇篮) of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. (黄河是中国文明的摇篮。洪水的控制和预防一直是生活在这条河上的人们幸福生活的关键。现在，科学家们可以通过给河流一个数字双胞胎来更好地解决这些问题。)”和第二段“The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions. (黄河的数字孪生体使用了各种技术，包括大数据、人工智能和物联网。沿河设置的设备收集信息并将信息传送到指挥中心。根据这些信息，在计算机屏幕上显示了河流的三维模型。就像黄河有了一个双胞胎，反映了它的真实情况。)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了黄河数字化管理系统的开发。故选D项。 第II卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2、本卷共6小题, 共25分。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分25分) 第一节： 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was a hot summer day, with the sun shining brightly, and all I could think about was cooling down with my favorite ice cream. I decided to make a quick trip to the newly opened ice cream shop close by, eager for a midday treat. As I stepped inside, the variety of flavors in the shop caught my eye. Although they were tempting, I ordered my preferred flavor in a con e for an immediate treat and chose two cups of chocolate ice cream to take home for my family. Enjoying my cone, I found perfect relaxation in its cool sweetness. I admired the shop’s attractive display of ice creams, each more colorful and inviting than the last. Now that my to-go order was ready I headed to the payment count er to settle the bill. There, I encountered an unexpected situation: the cashier, possibly distracted by the day’s rush, had forgotten to include the two cups of chocolate ice cream in my bill. Faced with a moral (道德的) dilemma, I found myself at a crossroads: on one side was the simple path of paying the bill and overlooking the mistake; on the other, the act of pointing out the error. I knew if I didn’t bring the billing error to his notice, the cost of my ice cream would be charged against his salary. At that moment, I made up my mind and approached the counter to point out what he had missed. His first shock gave way to great gratitude as he realized the financial loss I had saved him from. His repeated thanks and visible relief warmed my heart. The smile of relief on his face made me smile too. Leaving the ice cream shop, I felt really happy and satisfied. It reminded me of how good it feels to do the right thing instead of just taking the easy way out. The experience was not just about ice cream; it proved the value of doing what is right, ensuring the joy that comes from acts of honesty and kindness. 46.

Although they were tempting, I ordered my preferred flavor in a con e for an immediate treat and chose two cups of chocolate ice cream to take home for my family. Enjoying my cone, I found perfect relaxation in its cool sweetness.(当我走进去的时候，店里各种各样的口味吸引了我的眼球。虽然它们很诱人，但我还是点了我最喜欢的口味的蛋筒冰淇淋，作为即时款待，并选择了两杯巧克力冰淇淋带回家给家人吃。享受着我的甜筒，我在它清凉的甜味中找到了完美的放松)”可知，作者被冰淇淋店里，各种各样的口味所吸引，感觉它们很诱人，推知划线所在句子应是“一种比一种更鲜艳，更诱人”之意，所以inviting应是“诱人的，吸引人的”之意，和Attractive或者Tempting意思相近。故填Attractive.或者Tempting. 【48题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第四段“Faced with a moral (道德的) dilemma, I found myself at a crossroads: on one side was the simple path of paying the bill and overlooking the mistake; on the other, the act of pointing out the error. I knew if I didn’t bring the billing error to his notice, the cost of my ice cream would be charged against his salary.(面对道德困境，我发现自己站在了十字路口：一边是付账、忽略错误的简单道路；另一方面，指出错误的行为。我知道，如果我不把账单上的错误告诉他，我买冰淇淋的费用就会从他的工资中扣除)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者陷入道德困境。故回答：The author was in a moral dilemma. 【49题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据最后一段“Leaving the ice cream shop, I felt really happy and satisfied. It reminded me of how good it feels to do the right thing instead of just taking the easy way out.(离开冰淇淋店，我感到非常高兴和满足。这让我想起了做正确的事而不是走捷径的感觉有多好)”可知，作者感到深深的满足是因为选择诚信而不是便利。故回答：Choosing integrity over convenience.或者Doing right over easy. 【50题详解】 开放性问题。根据最后一段“The experience was not just about ice cream; it proved the value of doing what is right, ensuring the joy that comes from acts of honesty and kindness.(这次经历不仅仅是关于冰淇淋；它证明了做正确的事的价值，确保了来自诚实和善良行为的快乐)”可知，我认为作者是诚实和善良的，因为他指出了账单上的错误，避免了收银员的经济损失。故回答：The author is honest and kind. Because he pointed out the cashier’s billing mistake, preventing financial loss for the cashier. 第二节：书面表达（满分15 分） 51. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。你的英国笔友 Chris计划暑假来天津旅游，希望你简单介绍一下天津并推荐一个天津特色景点。 内容包括： （1）简述天津的基本情况（如地理位置、历史等）； （2）推荐特色景点并说明理由； （3）祝愿他旅游愉快。 注意： （1） 词数不少于 100； （2）考生可从参考景点中任选一处，也可以自选特色景点； （3）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （4）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考景点： 鼓楼 Drum Tower 天津之眼 Tianjin Eye 古文化街 The Ancient Culture Street 国家海洋博物馆 The National Maritime Museum 航母主题公园 The Aircraft Carrier Theme Park Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Chris, I am thrilled to hear that you’re planning a visit to Tianjin during the summer vacation.

When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours. In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing. About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked with. Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste. I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery—and the many others I’ve found over the years—by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling but has also deepened my connection to the past, making each stitch a bridge between generations. 36.

And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions. One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance (管理) is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter (尤指电台或电视信号的发射机). They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said. “In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.” And in the sky, drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river. 41. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River? A. To study the wildlife in the Yellow River. B. To raise public awareness of river protection. C. To improve flood control and prevention efforts. D. To provide a virtual reality experience of the river. 42 How do the “smart stones” contribute to the river’s digital governance? A. They record water quality. B. They enhance the river’s beauty. C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markets for important locations. 43. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River? A. Providing entertainment for the people living along the river. B. Collecting data to update a 3D model for flood management. C. Transporting researchers to remote locations along the river D. Patrolling and getting first-hand wildlife photos. 44. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. To update the 3D model for accuracy. B. To prepare for a potential flood event. C. To strengthen the riverbanks and dikes. D. To increase drone monitoring over the river. 45. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The cultural and historical importance of the Yellow River. B. The future plans for improving the Yellow River’s construction. C. The use of smart stones and drones for flood control and monitoring. D. The development of a digital system for the Yellow River’s management. 第II卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2、本卷共6小题, 共25分。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分25分) 第一节： 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was a hot summer day, with the sun shining brightly, and all I could think about was cooling down with my favorite ice cream. I decided to make a quick trip to the newly opened ice cream shop close by, eager for a midday treat. As I stepped inside, the variety of flavors in the shop caught my eye. Although they were tempting, I ordered my preferred flavor in a con e for an immediate treat and chose two cups of chocolate ice cream to take home for my family. Enjoying my cone, I found perfect relaxation in its cool sweetness. I admired the shop’s attractive display of ice creams, each more colorful and inviting than the last. Now that my to-go order was ready, I headed to the payment count er to settle the bill. There, I encountered an unexpected situation: the cashier, possibly distracted by the day’s rush, had forgotten to include the two cups of chocolate ice cream in my bill. Faced with a moral (道德的) dilemma, I found myself at a crossroads: on one side was the simple path of paying the bill and overlooking the mistake; on the other, the act of pointing out the error. I knew if I didn’t bring the billing error to his notice, the cost of my ice cream would be charged against his salary. At that moment, I made up my mind and approached the counter to point out what he had missed. His first shock gave way to great gratitude as he realized the financial loss I had saved him from. His repeated thanks and visible relief warmed my heart. The smile of relief on his face made me smile too. Leaving the ice cream shop, I felt really happy and satisfied. It reminded me of how good it feels to do the right thing instead of just taking the easy way out. The experience was not just about ice cream; it proved the value of doing what is right, ensuring the joy that comes from acts of honesty and kindness. 46.
