One of the top attractions in South Africa, and one of the largest national parks in the world, Kruger National Park is a must for any wildlife lover. Kruger National Park Animals Nothing will prepare you for the huge volume of wildlife that you’ll be able to see in Kruger National Park. The park is home to 114 different species of reptiles, more than 500 species of birds and 147 mammals. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), but you’ll see tons of other mammals. When Is the Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park? The driest months June, July, and August are the best time of year to visit the park, when the days are warm and the nights are cooler. Many trees and shrubs have lost their leaves, and water sources dry up, making it easier to spot animals around the remaining waterholes. Driving in Kruger National Park What makes Kruger National Park differ from other parks is that it is accessible via self driving. Many people who visit the park come with their own vehicle because it’s considerably more affordable than taking a guided tour. Making a self-drive trip also gives you more flexibility with your timing. 21. How does the author show the diversity of animals in Kruger National Park? A. By listing figures. B. By clarifying concepts. C. By using illustrations. D. By making comparisons. 22. Which of the following is the best time to visit Kruger National Park? A. March. B. June. C. September. D. December. 23. What’s special about Kruger National Park? A. It operates flexibly. B. It charges fairly low. C. It allows a self-drive trip. D. It has unique animals. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了南非的克鲁格国家公园，文章内容包括公园的野生动物种类、最佳访问时间、以及公园的特色，即允许自驾游。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据Kruger National Park Animals部分中“The park is home to 114 different species of reptiles, more than 500 species of birds and 147 mammals (该公园是114种不同的爬行动物的家园，有500多种鸟类和147种哺乳动物。)”可推测，作者通过列举数字来说明克鲁格国家公园动物的多样性。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When is the Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park?(参观克鲁格国家公园的最佳时间是什么时候？)”部分中“The driest months June, July, and August are the best time of year to visit the park, when the days are warm and the nights are cooler. (6月、7月和8月是最干燥的月份，是一年中参观公园的最佳时间，在这几月里白天温暖，夜晚更凉爽。)”可知，6月、7月和8月是最干燥的月份，是一年中参观公园的最佳时间。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“What makes Kruger National Park differ from other parks is that it is accessible via self driving. (克鲁格国家公园与其他公园的独特之处在于，它可以通过自驾进入。)”可知，该公园独特之处在于它可以自驾进入。故选C项。 B As someone who often mans the 24-hour hotline, I’m accustomed to early morning calls reporting various marine mammal strandings(搁浅). Even still, I doubt whether I could have fully prepared for this call. August 9 at 8:01 am was the first time my jaw physically dropped when manning the hotline. The harbormaster reported 30 stranded dolphins in one of the trickiest areas of Wellfleet. I immediately sent all workers we had and sent out the call for any additional help we could gather. Our team gathered at our Rescue Operations Center, grabbing all the specialized equipment we possibly could. Our trained volunteer responders arrived on the scene shortly after the initial report to give me updated information—45 dolphins in total, 43 of which were alive. With a stranding this large, it wasn’t possible to pull all 43 animals from the mud, get them to our mobile veterinary clinic, and transport them for release at a more favorable open-ocean location before the tide came in. The day was getting hotter, and the animals were already suffering from both heat and sun exposure. Upon getting on the scene, we had no time to react to the sheer chaos that lay ahead. After a quick scan of the situation—45 animals widely distributed, only a few staff members and several volunteers—there wasn’t a second more to wait. We began the hard process of getting as many animals as we could into special slings(吊索), onto the cart, and off the marsh as quickly as possible. This was not without its own challenges. The mud trapped and enveloped our feet, adding weight with each step, most animals were highly fractious(易怒的) when approached, and the heat became unbearable in dry suits. But none of that was going to stop us from doing all we could for these animals. We worked tirelessly, providing care for the animals. When the tide fully came in, the dolphins started to swim on their own with the rising tide. 24. How did the author react to the call on the morning of August 9? A. He thought it was a joke. B. He got shocked to the bone. C. He was at a loss what to do. D. He called the vet urgently. 25. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 2? A. The team was well-equipped. B. Rescuing dolphins faced much trouble. C. The climate of Wellfleet was difficult to tolerate. D. Volunteers were responsible for updating information. 26. What was a challenge to the rescuing team? A. The tide was coming in very soon. B. It was hard to find an open-ocean location. C. The volunteers failed to contact each other. D. There was much mud around to walk through. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A. A drill activity. B. A volunteer program. C. A rescue effort. D. A charity organization. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了救援中心和志愿者合理营救搁浅海豚的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“August 9 at 8:01 am was the first time my jaw physically dropped when manning the hotline. (8月9日上午8点01分是我在接听热线时第一次惊掉下巴。)”可知，作者接听热线电话时惊呆了，故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“With a stranding this large, it wasn’t possible to pull all 43 animals from the mud, get them to our mobile veterinary clinic, and transport them for release at a more favorable open-ocean location before the tide came in. The day was getting hotter, and the animals were already suffering from both heat and sun exposure. (如此大规模的搁浅事件，不可能在涨潮前把所有43只动物从泥里拉出来，送到我们的移动兽医诊所，然后运到更有利的开阔海域地点进行放生。天气越来越热，这些动物已经在遭受炎热和阳光暴晒之苦。)”可知，作者在第二段中项说明这次海豚营救行动的艰巨性，故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The mud trapped and enveloped our feet, adding weight with each step, most animals were highly fractious(易怒的) when approached, and the heat became unbearable in dry suits. (泥土困住并包裹着我们的脚，每走一步都会增加重量，大多数动物在靠近时都非常烦躁，穿着干式潜水服的热量变得难以忍受。)”可知，泥巴困住了救援人员的脚，这使他们行走艰难，故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The harbormaster reported 30 stranded dolphins in one of the trickiest areas of Wellfleet. I immediately sent all workers we had and sent out the call for any additional help we could gather. (港务长报告说，在韦尔弗利特最棘手的一个区域有30只搁浅的海豚。我立即派出了我们所有的工作人员，并发出呼吁，请求我们能召集到的任何额外帮助。)”可知，本文主要讲述了一次营救搁浅海豚的行动，故选C项。 C Language grows and continuously adapts, evolving as we come up with better words that reflect our culture. In particular, it mirrors the complexity with which our lives connect with technology. When our technology evolves quicker than ever before, so does our language. As with technology, we try to optimize (优化) language so we can communicate complex ideas with the minimal amount of ambiguity in the most efficient way. Many experts believe the amount of technical vocabulary we use in everyday life is currently growing faster than ever before. With roughly half of the world’s population now connected to the Internet, we see massively increased levels of communication. Ideas, words and phrases are being generated and circulated at an alarming rate. Previously, it took years for specialised language to make the transition from the developer to the general public. Now, thanks to the growing influence that technology has on the economy and the use of social media, technical terms can pass into everyday usage extremely quickly. Tech companies focused on innovation are driving much of this new language. Expressions are often coined in tech circles to describe new techniques or processes, and they can also serve as a form of “branding” for a company. If a brand name is used by the general public, it’s probably the ultimate marketing coup (成功之举) of all. Some prominent examples are the verbs “to google”, ”to skype“ and ”to photoshop“. Some experts believe future changes in technology will ultimately change the nature of language itself. Ken Perlin, for example, a professor of computer science at New York University, believes the language of the future could be less about oral expression and more about communication using a combination of gestures and sounds. The language of technology can sometimes be difficult to explain, but it’s key to understanding the evolution of the language around us. As technology and society’s structures continue to become more interdependent, those changes are only going to accelerate (加快). 28. What does paragraph 1 tell us about language? A. It shapes technological trends. B. It is technology-based. C. It keeps pace with technology. D. It drives advances in technology. 29. What does the author stress in paragraph 2? A. The influence of technology on language. B. The importance of technical vocabulary. C. The wide availability of the Internet. D. The change in technical terms. 30. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confirmed. B. Invented. C. Discussed. D. Copied. 31. What does Ken Perlin think of the language of the future? A. It will focus on written expressions. B. It will be a mix of oral and written forms. C. It will keep its nature. D. It will favour gestures and sounds. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了语言随着技术和社会的发展而不断演变的现象，并探讨了技术词汇在日常生活中的快速增长、科技公司对新语言发展的影响以及未来技术变化可能对语言性质产生的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When our technology evolves quicker than ever before, so does our language. As with technology, we try to optimize (优化) language so we can communicate complex ideas with the minimal amount of ambiguity in the most efficient way. (当我们的技术发展比以往任何时候都快时，我们的语言也在迅速发展。与技术一样，我们试图优化语言，以便以最高效的方式、用最少的歧义来传达复杂的思想。)”可知，语言与技术是同步发展的。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Now, thanks to the growing influence that technology has on the economy and the use of social media, technical terms can pass into everyday usage extremely quickly.(现在，由于技术对经济的日益增强的影响以及社交媒体的使用，技术术语可以极快地融入日常用语中。)”可知，第二段强调了技术对语言的影响。故选A。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Tech companies focused on innovation are driving much of this new language.(专注于创新的科技公司正在推动这种新语言的发展。)”可知，科技公司推动了语言的发展。再根据划线单词所在句“in tech circles to describe new techniques or processes(在科技领域，人们……新词汇来描述新技术或流程。)”可推测，人们经常创造一些表达来描述新技术或新流程，划线词coined为“创造”之意。选项A“Confirmed (证实)”；选项B“Invented (发明)”；选项C“Discussed (讨论)”；选项D“Copied (复制)”。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Some experts believe future changes in technology will ultimately change the nature of language itself. Ken Perlin, for example, a professor of computer science at New York University, believes the language of the future could be less about oral expression and more about communication using a combination of gestures and sounds.(一些专家认为，未来技术的变化最终将改变语言本身的性质。例如，纽约大学的计算机科学教授Ken Perlin认为，未来的语言可能较少涉及口头表达，而更多是关于使用手势和声音的组合来进行交流。)”可知，Ken Perlin认为未来的语言将更多地使用手势和声音来进行交流。故选D。 D Whether it is a hug from a friend or the caress of a weighted blanket, the sensation of touch appears to bring benefits for the body and mind, researchers say. The sense of touch is the first to develop in babies and is crucial in allowing us to experience the environment around us as well as communicate. Dr Helena Hartmann, a co-author of the research from University Hospital Essen, said, “More consensual (同意) touch events throughout our day can help ease or potentially buffer people against mental and physical complaints.” Published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, the research encompassed (包含) 212 previously published studies and included a statistical analysis of 85 studies involving adults and 52 involving newborns. Among the results, the team found touch was just as beneficial for mental health as physical health — a finding that held for adults and newborns — although touch had a bigger impact on some areas than others. “Our work illustrates that touch interventions are best suited for reducing pain, depression and anxiety in adults and children as well as for increasing weight gain in newborns,” the researchers write. The analysis revealed humans gained similar benefits in terms of their physical health when touched by other humans or by objects — such as social robots or weighted blankets. Hartmann said that was a surprise. The positive impact on mental health was larger for human touch than touch from objects — possibly, the team said, because it involved skin-to-skin contact. The type of touch and its duration were not important, although greater frequency was associated with greater benefits in adults. Further, touching the head was associated with greater health benefits than touching other parts. Dr Mariana von Mohr, from Royal Holloway, University of London, who was not involved in the work, said if future robots could more accurately copy the texture and warmth of human skin, they may be able to provide comparable mental health benefits to human touch. Prof Katerina Fotopoulou, at University College London, said, “It is a historical misfortune that we have prioritised talking over touch in the past.” 32. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By conducting a survey. B. By making observations. C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to previous studies. 33. What is the finding of the touch research? A. Touch is less effective on adults than on children. B. The human touch helps to communicate effectively. C. Touch benefits both mental and physical health. D. The human touch is a powerful way to cause feelings. 34. What did Dr Mariana von Mohr expect of future robots? A. Higher sensitivity. B. Lower costs. C. Better interactivity. D. More human-like skins. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the touch? A. Skeptical. B. Indifferent. C. Appreciative. D. Unclear. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，触摸对身心健康有益，它既有助于减轻疼痛、缓解抑郁和焦虑，又有助于增加新生儿的体重。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, the research encompassed (包含) 212 previously published studies and included a statistical analysis of 85 studies involving adults and 52 involving newborns. (该研究发表在《自然-人类行为》杂志上，涵盖了212项先前发表的研究，并对85项涉及成年人的研究和52项涉及新生儿的研究进行了统计分析。)”可知，研究人员是通过参考以前的研究结果来进行研究的。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Among the results, the team found touch was just as beneficial for mental health as physical health — a finding that held for adults and newborns — although touch had a bigger impact on some areas than others. (在研究结果中，研究小组发现，触摸对心理健康和身体健康同样有益——这一发现适用于成年人和新生儿——尽管触摸对某些领域的影响比其他领域更大。)”可知，触摸研究的结果是触摸对精神和身体健康都有好处。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Mariana von Mohr, from Royal Holloway, University of London, who was not involved in the work, said if future robots could more accurately copy the texture and warmth of human skin, they may be able to provide comparable mental health benefits to human touch. (来自伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院的Mariana von Mohr博士没有参与这项工作，她说，如果未来的机器人能够更准确地复制人类皮肤的纹理和温暖，它们可能能够提供与人类触摸相当的心理健康益处。)”可知，Dr Mariana von Mohr期望未来的机器人能够拥有更像人类的皮肤。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether it is a hug from a friend or the caress of a weighted blanket, the sensation of touch appears to bring benefits for the body and mind, researchers say. (研究人员表示，无论是朋友拥抱还是厚重的毯子的爱抚，触觉似乎都对身心有益。)”和第二段“Dr Helena Hartmann, a co-author of the research from University Hospital Essen, said, “More consensual (同意) touch events throughout our day can help ease or potentially buffer people against mental and physical complaints.” (埃森大学医院这项研究的合著者海伦娜·哈特曼博士说：“我们一天中更多双方同意的触摸事件可以帮助缓解或可能缓冲人们的精神和身体不适。”)”以及文章最后一段“Prof Katerina Fotopoulou, at University College London, said, “It is a historical misfortune that we have prioritised talking over touch in the past.” (伦敦大学学院 (University College London) 的凯特琳娜·福托波卢 (Katerina Fotopoulou) 教授表示：“过去我们重视言语交流而忽视身体接触，这是一种历史性的不幸。”)”可知，作者介绍了触摸带来的多种正面效果，并引用了多位专家的观点来支持这些发现，这表明作者对触摸持有一种赞赏的态度。故选C项。 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。 “Find your passion!” When discussing future career options or selecting a major in college, your parents often say this. The very expression is meant to inspire. But is it good advice? “Finding” a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us. ____36____ To study this, researchers use a framework of “fixed” and “growth” mindsets. They argue that encouraging people to “find” their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable. ____37____ In contrast, people who view interests and passions as developed have a growth mindset of interest. Researchers have revealed that a fixed mindset of interest can decrease creativity. If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains (领域). ____38____ Evidently, people can do a lot to embrace a growth mindset of interest. First, realize that your interests and passions aren’t pre-existing. Take an active role in developing your passions. Second, practise positive self-talk. When you lack interest in a new task, pay attention to your inner dialogue. ____39____ For example, change “I’m not interested in this” to “I’m not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement”. ____40____ But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious. The science tells us we should work towards loving what we do. We might become more creative and resilient as a result. A. So a growth mindset of interest can be taught. B. Instead, passions, like interests, are developed. C. People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest. D. Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion. E. As such, seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential. F. A growth mindset of interest may help promote this kind of resilience. G. Replace self-critical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. G 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章批判了“找到你的激情”这个观点，认为激情是培养出来的，要秉持兴趣成长型心态，这会帮助你保持开放和好奇，有助于培养激情。 【36题详解】 根据上文““Finding” a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us. (“找到”激情意味着它已经存在，只是在等待被发现。不幸的是，这个想法并不是科学告诉我们的)”可知，科学表明“激情”兴趣并非天生固有的。由此可知，兴趣是需要培养的。B项“Instead passions, like interests, are developed.(相反，激情和兴趣一样，是需要培养的)”承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据上文“They argue that encouraging people to “find” their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable.(他们认为，鼓励人们“找到”自己的激情可能会使他们最终相信兴趣和激情是天生的，相对来说是不可改变的)”推知，鼓励人们去“发现”兴趣，可能会使他们认为兴趣是天生的，而且是相对不可改变的。C项“People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest.(这么想的人有一种固定的兴趣心态)”符合题意，起到解释上文的作用，this指代上文“believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable”。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains (领域). (如果人们认为他们只限于少数天生的兴趣，因此不探索其他领域，他们可能会错过看到跨领域的重要联系)”可知，如果人们认为兴趣是天生的，这会降低他们的创造力；空处位于段末，应对上文进行总结。E项“As such, seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential.(因此，将兴趣视为固定的限制了他们的创造潜力)”符合题意，creative potential呼应上文creativity。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据下文“For example, change “I’m not interested in this” to “I’m not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement”.(例如，将“我对这个不感兴趣”改为“我对这个还不感兴趣，但我知道兴趣会随着时间和投入而发展。”)”可知，当我们对某个东西不感兴趣时，我知道我只是当下对它不感兴 趣，随着时间的投入和参与度的提高，这种兴趣就培养出来了，要用积极的想法代替消极的想法。G项“Replace self-critical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning.(用鼓励成长和学习的积极想法取代自我批评的想法)”符合题意，下文举例说明了空处内容。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据下文“But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious. The science tells us we should work toward loving what we do. We might become more creative and resilient as a result.(但兴趣的成长型心态会帮助你保持开放和好奇。科学告诉我们，我们应该努力去热爱我们所做的事情。因此，我们可能会变得更有创造力和耐力)”中的But可知，空处内容与下文为转折关系。D项“Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion.(当然，并不是每一项活动都会成为一种燃烧的激情)”符合语境，虽然并非每项活动都会成为激情，但保持兴趣成长型心态有助于让人们保持开放和好奇。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was fifteen, I planned to start my business.

My initial motive was simple: I needed to fulfill community service hours required for graduation. However, what started as a mere obligation soon turned into a journey of meaningful personal growth and understanding. Upon my first visit to the shelter, I was immediately struck by the number of animals in need and the obvious sense of urgency among the staff and volunteers. Dogs barked eagerly from their cages, while cats paced restlessly. The shelter manager, Mrs Clark, a veteran in animal rescue, guided me through the orientation process. She detailed the daily tasks which included feeding the animals, cleaning their living spaces, and, most importantly, spending time socializing with them. It was clear from the beginning that this work would demand more than just my time; it required compassion and dedication. As weeks turned into months, my connection with the animals deepened. I learned to recognize their unique personalities and needs. Some were shy and withdrawn, needing much more time to engage, while others were excited and playful from the start. The more time I spent at the shelter, the more I realized how each interaction with an animal was a chance to provide them with a sense of security and love — a small comfort in their uncertain world. The responsibilities I held at the shelter also grew with time. Mrs Clark trusted me with more complex tasks such as administering medication and assisting in the adoption process. This trust not only boosted my confidence but also showed the importance of my role in these animals’ lives. The gratitude I saw in both the animals’ and adopters’ eyes was rewarding. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As my senior year began, I took on even greater responsibilities at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on my time at the shelter I realize how much I have grown, not just in skills but also in spirit. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As my senior year began, I took on even greater responsibilities at the shelter. Mrs Clark appointed me as a volunteer coordinator, a role that involved training new volunteers. This position challenged me to develop leadership skills and learn how to manage a team effectively. Each day presented new challenges, from coordinating fundraising events to handling the delicate situations of animals in distress. My ability to make quick, compassionate decisions grew, as did my commitment to the welfare of the animals and the shelter. Reflecting on my time at the shelter, I realize how much I have grown, not just in skills but also in spirit. The experience has instilled in me a lifelong commitment to animal welfare and has influenced my decision to pursue a career in animal medicine. The shelter has taught me about warmth, the impact of small acts of kindness, and the harmonious connection between humans and animals. This journey has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, shaping me into a more empathetic and dedicated individual. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了“我”在高中期间自愿前往当地动物收容所做志愿者的经历及其对“我”个人成长的影响。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着高三学年的开始，我在收容所承担了更大的责任。”可知，第一段可描写“我”在高三时如何在收容所担任更多职责，特别是作为志愿者协调员的工作，以及这项工作对“我”的个人能力和责任感的提升。 ②由第二段首句内容“回顾在收容所的时间，我意识到自己不仅在技能上，而且在精神上都得到了很大的成长。”可知，第二段可描写“我”在收容所的经历对“我”人生观的影响，包括对未来职业道路的选择和对动物福利事业的长期承诺。 2. 续写线索：担任更多职责——成为志愿者协调员——面对新挑战——提升领导力——感受人与动物的和谐——决定职业方向——个人成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发展，培养：develop/cultivate ②处理：handle/deal with/cope with ③影响：influence/affect 情绪类 ①有同理心的：empathetic/compassionate ②专注的，献身的：dedicated/devoted/committed 【点睛】【高分句型1】This position challenged me to develop leadership skills and learn how to manage a team effectively.

One of the top attractions in South Africa, and one of the largest national parks in the world, Kruger National Park is a must for any wildlife lover. Kruger National Park Animals Nothing will prepare you for the huge volume of wildlife that you’ll be able to see in Kruger National Park. The park is home to 114 different species of reptiles, more than 500 species of birds and 147 mammals. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), but you’ll see tons of other mammals. When Is the Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park? The driest months June, July, and August are the best time of year to visit the park, when the days are warm and the nights are cooler. Many trees and shrubs have lost their leaves, and water sources dry up, making it easier to spot animals around the remaining waterholes. Driving in Kruger National Park What makes Kruger National Park differ from other parks is that it is accessible via self driving. Many people who visit the park come with their own vehicle because it’s considerably more affordable than taking a guided tour. Making a self-drive trip also gives you more flexibility with your timing. 21. How does the author show the diversity of animals in Kruger National Park? A. By listing figures. B. By clarifying concepts. C. By using illustrations. D. By making comparisons. 22. Which of the following is the best time to visit Kruger National Park? A. March. B. June. C. September. D. December. 23. What’s special about Kruger National Park? A. It operates flexibly. B. It charges fairly low. C. It allows a self-drive trip. D. It has unique animals. B As someone who often mans the 24-hour hotline, I’m accustomed to early morning calls reporting various marine mammal strandings(搁浅). Even still, I doubt whether I could have fully prepared for this call. August 9 at 8:01 am was the first time my jaw physically dropped when manning the hotline. The harbormaster reported 30 stranded dolphins in one of the trickiest areas of Wellfleet. I immediately sent all workers we had and sent out the call for any additional help we could gather. Our team gathered at our Rescue Operations Center, grabbing all the specialized equipment we possibly could. Our trained volunteer responders arrived on the scene shortly after the initial report to give me updated information—45 dolphins in total, 43 of which were alive. With a stranding this large, it wasn’t possible to pull all 43 animals from the mud, get them to our mobile veterinary clinic, and transport them for release at a more favorable open-ocean location before the tide came in. The day was getting hotter, and the animals were already suffering from both heat and sun exposure. Upon getting on the scene, we had no time to react to the sheer chaos that lay ahead. After a quick scan of the situation—45 animals widely distributed, only a few staff members and several volunteers—there wasn’t a second more to wait. We began the hard process of getting as many animals as we could into special slings(吊索), onto the cart, and off the marsh as quickly as possible. This was not without its own challenges. The mud trapped and enveloped our feet, adding weight with each step, most animals were highly fractious(易怒的) when approached, and the heat became unbearable in dry suits. But none of that was going to stop us from doing all we could for these animals. We worked tirelessly, providing care for the animals. When the tide fully came in, the dolphins started to swim on their own with the rising tide. 24. How did the author react to the call on the morning of August 9? A. He thought it was a joke. B.

C Language grows and continuously adapts, evolving as we come up with better words that reflect our culture. In particular, it mirrors the complexity with which our lives connect with technology. When our technology evolves quicker than ever before, so does our language. As with technology, we try to optimize (优化) language so we can communicate complex ideas with the minimal amount of ambiguity in the most efficient way. Many experts believe the amount of technical vocabulary we use in everyday life is currently growing faster than ever before. With roughly half of the world’s population now connected to the Internet, we see massively increased levels of communication. Ideas, words and phrases are being generated and circulated at an alarming rate. Previously, it took years for specialised language to make the transition from the developer to the general public. Now, thanks to the growing influence that technology has on the economy and the use of social media, technical terms can pass into everyday usage extremely quickly. Tech companies focused on innovation are driving much of this new language. Expressions are often coined in tech circles to describe new techniques or processes, and they can also serve as a form of “branding” for a company. If a brand name is used by the general public, it’s probably the ultimate marketing coup (成功之举) of all. Some prominent examples are the verbs “to google”, ”to skype“ and ”to photoshop“. Some experts believe future changes in technology will ultimately change the nature of language itself. Ken Perlin, for example, a professor of computer science at New York University, believes the language of the future could be less about oral expression and more about communication using a combination of gestures and sounds. The language of technology can sometimes be difficult to explain, but it’s key to understanding the evolution of the language around us. As technology and society’s structures continue to become more interdependent, those changes are only going to accelerate (加快). 28. What does paragraph 1 tell us about language? A. It shapes technological trends. B. It is technology-based. C. It keeps pace with technology. D. It drives advances in technology. 29. What does the author stress in paragraph 2? A. The influence of technology on language. B. The importance of technical vocabulary. C. The wide availability of the Internet. D. The change in technical terms. 30. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confirmed. B. Invented. C. Discussed. D. Copied. 31. What does Ken Perlin think of the language of the future? A. It will focus on written expressions. B. It will be a mix of oral and written forms. C. It will keep its nature. D. It will favour gestures and sounds. D Whether it is a hug from a friend or the caress of a weighted blanket, the sensation of touch appears to bring benefits for the body and mind, researchers say. The sense of touch is the first to develop in babies and is crucial in allowing us to experience the environment around us as well as communicate. Dr Helena Hartmann, a co-author of the research from University Hospital Essen, said, “More consensual (同意) touch events throughout our day can help ease or potentially buffer people against mental and physical complaints.” Published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, the research encompassed (包含) 212 previously published studies and included a statistical analysis of 85 studies involving adults and 52 involving newborns. Among the results, the team found touch was just as beneficial for mental health as physical health — a finding that held for adults and newborns — although touch had a bigger impact on some areas than others. “Our work illustrates that touch interventions are best suited for reducing pain, depression and anxiety in adults and children as well as for increasing weight gain in newborns,” the researchers write. The analysis revealed humans gained similar benefits in terms of their physical health when touched by other humans or by objects — such as social robots or weighted blankets. Hartmann said that was a surprise. The positive impact on mental health was larger for human touch than touch from objects — possibly, the team said, because it involved skin-to-skin contact. The type of touch and its duration were not important, although greater frequency was associated with greater benefits in adults. Further, touching the head was associated with greater health benefits than touching other parts. Dr Mariana von Mohr, from Royal Holloway, University of London, who was not involved in the work, said if future robots could more accurately copy the texture and warmth of human skin, they may be able to provide comparable mental health benefits to human touch. Prof Katerina Fotopoulou, at University College London, said, “It is a historical misfortune that we have prioritised talking over touch in the past.” 32. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By conducting a survey. B. By making observations. C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to previous studies. 33. What is the finding of the touch research? A. Touch is less effective on adults than on children. B. The human touch helps to communicate effectively. C. Touch benefits both mental and physical health. D. The human touch is a powerful way to cause feelings. 34. What did Dr Mariana von Mohr expect of future robots? A. Higher sensitivity. B. Lower costs. C. Better interactivity. D. More human-like skins. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the touch? A. Skeptical. B. Indifferent. C. Appreciative. D. Unclear. 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。 “Find your passion!” When discussing future career options or selecting a major in college, your parents often say this. The very expression is meant to inspire. But is it good advice? “Finding” a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us. ____36____ To study this, researchers use a framework of “fixed” and “growth” mindsets. They argue that encouraging people to “find” their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable. ____37____ In contrast, people who view interests and passions as developed have a growth mindset of interest. Researchers have revealed that a fixed mindset of interest can decrease creativity. If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains (领域). ____38____ Evidently people can do a lot to embrace a growth mindset of interest. First, realize that your interests and passions aren’t pre-existing. Take an active role in developing your passions. Second, practise positive self-talk. When you lack interest in a new task, pay attention to your inner dialogue. ____39____ For example, change “I’m not interested in this” to “I’m not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement”. ____40____ But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious. The science tells us we should work towards loving what we do. We might become more creative and resilient as a result. A. So a growth mindset of interest can be taught. B. Instead, passions, like interests, are developed. C. People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest. D. Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion. E. As such, seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential. F. A growth mindset of interest may help promote this kind of resilience. G. Replace self-critical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was fifteen, I planned to start my business.

My initial motive was simple: I needed to fulfill community service hours required for graduation. However, what started as a mere obligation soon turned into a journey of meaningful personal growth and understanding. Upon my first visit to the shelter, I was immediately struck by the number of animals in need and the obvious sense of urgency among the staff and volunteers. Dogs barked eagerly from their cages, while cats paced restlessly. The shelter manager, Mrs Clark, a veteran in animal rescue, guided me through the orientation process. She detailed the daily tasks which included feeding the animals, cleaning their living spaces, and, most importantly, spending time socializing with them. It was clear from the beginning that this work would demand more than just my time; it required compassion and dedication. As weeks turned into months, my connection with the animals deepened. I learned to recognize their unique personalities and needs. Some were shy and withdrawn, needing much more time to engage, while others were excited and playful from the start. The more time I spent at the shelter, the more I realized how each interaction with an animal was a chance to provide them with a sense of security and love — a small comfort in their uncertain world. The responsibilities I held at the shelter also grew with time Mrs Clark trusted me with more complex tasks such as administering medication and assisting in the adoption process. This trust not only boosted my confidence but also showed the importance of my role in these animals’ lives. The gratitude I saw in both the animals’ and adopters’ eyes was rewarding. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As my senior year began, I took on even greater responsibilities at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on my time at the shelter, I realize how much I have grown, not just in skills but also in spirit. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
