(高尔夫STEM挑战赛为学生们提供了一个令人兴奋的项目，即设计和建造一个迷你高尔夫球场，以及创建自己的高尔夫俱乐部)”可知，滑板STEM活动和高尔夫STEM挑战都鼓励学生制作实体物品，即滑板和迷你高尔夫球场。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Here, we explore a series of innovative STEM challenges designed for both lower elementary and upper elementary students, aimed at sparking their curiosity and fostering a love for learning. (在这里，我们探索了一系列为小学低年级和小学高年级学生设计的创新STEM挑战，旨在激发他们的好奇心，培养他们对学习的热爱)”可知，文章主要介绍了几个与奥运会相关的STEM挑战，旨在激发学生的好奇心和学习热情。这种内容更符合教育类网站的特点，文章并未涉及旅游、科学研究的具体报告或体育杂志的内容。故选A项。 B As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable (不可避免的) that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments. But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, named Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other. Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children. “I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a sandwich instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” Soogia’s tearful video tug at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone commented. 24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage? A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent. B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children. C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows. D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children. 25. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia? A. To invite her daughter to go out for lunch. B. To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together. C. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school. D. To express her app reciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought. 26. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children? A. Open-minded and inclusive. B. Adventurous and open-minded C. Tolerant and ambitious. D. Friendly and ambitious. 27. What does the underlined phrases “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 7 mean? A. Encourage cooperation. B. Appeal to feelings. C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一个妈妈Soogia分享的故事，讲述了她的孩子在学校分享午餐的经历，以及这一小事如何治愈了她内心的创伤，并引发对新一代孩子开放和包容特质的思考。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. (正如Elizabeth Stone曾经所说：“有孩子就像让自己的心在外面行走。”你送他们去学校，希望这个世界能善待他们，因为当他们受伤时，你也受伤)”可推知，文章开头引用Elizabeth Stone的话是为了强调父母对孩子持续的关心，即孩子受伤时父母也会感到伤心。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. (同学的母亲告诉她，她的儿子非常喜欢Soogia女儿带到学校的食物，并且也想学习如何做这道菜)”可知，同学的母亲告诉她，她的儿子非常喜欢Soogia女儿带到学校的食物，所以同学的母亲打电话给Soogia，是为了表达对她女儿带来的午餐的感激之情。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. (Soogia并没有预料到接下来会发生什么。同学的母亲告诉她，她的儿子非常喜欢Soogia女儿带到学校的食物，并且也想学习如何做这道菜)”、第六段“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears.(“我想我从未想过我的孩子们会成为这样一代孩子，他们不仅能够自豪地吃自己带的食物，还能与其他非常开放和接受这种食物的孩子们分享，”Soogia含泪说道)”以及最后一段““These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone commented.( “这些阿尔法一代的宝宝真的是一代更善良的孩子。我太爱他们了，”有人在评论中说道)”可推知，新一代的孩子能够与人开放的分享，所以Soogia认为新一代的孩子是开放和包容的。故选A。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Soogia’s tearful video tug at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. (Soogia的这段感人的视频tug at the heartstrings，他们在评论中分享了自己的想法)”可知，这段感人的视频应该是让观众非常感动，触动了他们的情感。所以“tug at the heartstrings”意思是“触动情感”或“打动人心”。故选B。 C Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow special rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs. 29. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically. C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. 30. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 31. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知，但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。)”可知，Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。 D Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes — like swapping a frozen meat lasagne (宽面条) for the vegetarian option — could push the reduction to as much as 71%. Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options. Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact databasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods (e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equivalent to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added. A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star (high emissions) to five stars (low emissions). “While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive display of a single, standardised sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded pro f Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. 32. What’s the function of paragraph 2? A. To set the stage for further explanation. B. To summarize the previous paragraph. C. To give supporting details for the writer’s argument. D. To make a comparison between different countries. 33. Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products? A. To set up a comprehensive database. B. To figure out the detailed food categories. C. To measure emissions reduced by switching food. D. To ensure less air pollution caused by food options. 34. What do we know about ecoSwitch? A. It is popular in high- income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products. C. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. D. It ensures wiser choices for food purchase. 35. What’s the best title of the text? A. EcoSwitch—a Reminder of Food Safety B. Dietary habits—a Factor of Physical Health C. Food swaps—a Way of Environmental Sustainability D. Greenhouse gas emissions—a Cause of Environmental Crisis 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的澳大利亚研究，该研究探讨了通过选择更环保的食品和饮料替代品来减少家庭杂货购买所产生的温室气体排放。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options.(首席作者艾莉森·盖恩斯博士说：“如果我们想要达到全球排放目标，特别是在像澳大利亚、英国和美国这样的高收入国家，饮食习惯需要发生重大变化。”然而，尽管消费者越来越意识到食品系统对环境的影响，但他们缺乏可靠的信息来识别更环保的选择)”可知，第二段引用了研究的主要作者艾莉森·盖恩斯博士的话，并提到消费者缺乏可靠的信息来识别更环保的选择，为接下来的研究细节和ecoSwitch应用程序的介绍做了铺垫。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods (e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups.(超过22,000种产品被分配到了主要、次要和子类别的食品(例如“面包和烘焙”、“面包”和“白面包”)以量化通过在同一类别内或跨类别更换产品所节省的排放量)”可知，研究人员对产品进行详细的分类是为了测量更换产品所节省的排放量。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star (high emissions) to five stars (low emissions).(基于这项研究，目前在澳大利亚已经开发出了一款名为ecoSwitch的免费应用程序。购物者可以使用他们的设备扫描产品的条形码，并检查其‘行星健康评级’，这是一个衡量其排放的指标，以半颗星(高排放)到五颗星(低排放)之间的评分表示)”可知，ecoSwitch是一款免费的应用程序，它允许购物者扫描产品的条形码并检查其“行星健康评级”，从而帮助他们做出更加环保的食物购买决定。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文及文章第一段“Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in  Nature Food . Making bigger changes—like swapping a frozen meat lasagne for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%.(根据澳大利亚乔治研究所发表在《自然食品》上的一项新研究，将食物和饮料购买转向非常相似但更环保的替代品可以减少家庭杂货产生的温室气体排放超过四分之一(26%)。进行更大的改变——比如用素食选项替换冷冻肉酱宽面条——可以将减排量提高到高达71%)”可知，文章主要讨论的是通过替换相似但更环保的食物选项来减少家庭杂货产生的温室气体排放的可能性，故C项“食物替换——一种环境可持续性的方式”适合作为文章的标题。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。 No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying from the late Dutchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor reflects much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is recognized as such a virtue. The problem with this view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. ____36____ Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better-or-worse-part of my life. ____37____ And when did eating butter become a sin (原罪)? All religions l have certain days when people contain their desire from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some social groups, wealth was a blessing and a symbol of high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being. ____38____ We have shifted to thinness us our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat, or somewhat overweight, is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. ____39____ It is true that we have more overweight people than before, and that being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood diseases. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with extra weight. And the risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem—too much fat und a lack of fibre—than a weight problem. The real concern, then, is not that we weigh mo much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and overall health. A balanced diet can also help the body avoid diseases. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually dangerous if those thin people think they are automatically healthy and thus free from caring about their lifestyle. ____40____ A. Today the opposite is true. B. Thinness makes a big difference. C. Then where did we go off the track? D. It is time to change their (and our) concept of thinness. E. There is much to do when we realize we’ve gone too far. F. Our addiction to thinness is also fueled by health concerns. G. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer cloches. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. A 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了作者对于现代女性一味追求身材苗条这一社会现象的看法。文章中作者分析了这一现象的成因，并提出了作者的建议：不要太看重体重，而应该多注意锻炼和平衡饮食。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Being thin is recognized as such a virtue. The problem with this view is that some people actually attempt to live by it.”（瘦被认为是一种美德。这种观点的问题在于，有些人实际上试图按照这种观点生活。）引出话题，提到一些人试图把追求瘦当成人生标杆。以及下文“Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better-or-worse-part of my life.”（因此，无论我的生活是好是坏，我都在节食。）结合选项G项I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer cloches.（我自己也幻想着自己能穿上窄版的名牌时装。）可知，G项起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【37题详解】 由该空处为段首句可知，为本段的主题句。该段下文“And when did eating butter become a sin (原罪)? All religions l have certain days when people contain their desire from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some social groups, wealth was a blessing and a symbol of high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.”（什么时候吃黄油成了罪？所有的宗教都有特定的日子，人们控制自己的食欲，而过度饮食是基督教的七宗罪之一。然而，直到最近，大多数人都有吃饱的问题。在一些社会群体中，财富是一种祝福和高尚道德的象征，而肥胖是财富和幸福的标志。）可知，本段讲的是人们追求瘦的历史渊源，段首用两个并列的问句概括主题，由此可推知， 空格处也应为疑问句式。结合选项C项Then where did we go off the track?（那我们在哪里偏离了轨道？）符合此推断，为总结该段主旨，符合语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 该空格处为段首句，为本段主题句。第二段结尾介绍了历史上也有以胖为美的时候，第三段则转而说明现在人们对瘦孜孜以求。下文根据“We have shifted to thinness us our new mark of virtue.”（我们已经把瘦作为美德的新标志。）提到把瘦作为美德的新标志。结合选项A项Today the opposite is true.（今天的情况正好相反。）符合此推断，为总结该段内容，符合语境。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“The result is that being fat, or somewhat overweight, is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.”（结果是，肥胖或超重是不好的，因为这意味着缺乏道德优点。）提到肥胖或超重是不好的。以及下文“It is true that we have more overweight people than before, and that being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood diseases.”（的确，现在超重的人比以前多了，而且超重与患心脏和血液疾病的风险增加有关。）提到身体超重与健康状况的疾病之间的关联。结合选项F项Our addiction to thinness is also fueled by health concerns.（我们对瘦的痴迷也是出于对健康的担忧。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【40题详解】 由空格处为该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。根据上文“It is actually dangerous if those thin people think they are automatically healthy and thus free from caring about their lifestyle.”（如果那些瘦的人认为他们自然是健康的，因此不必关心他们的生活方式，这实际上是危险的。）提到自以为瘦是健康这种观点的是很危险的。结合选项D项It is time to change their (and our) concept of thinness.（是时候改变他们(和我们)对瘦的观念了。）可知，承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，同时起到总结该段内容的作用。故选D项。 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。 I was seated in the aisle (过道) seat of a three-seater row on the plane to Portugal.

So, archaeologists were surprised when they discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area ___57___ is 60 miles away from the closest body of water. “It was surprising to find cattle ___58___ ( carve) on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wide-open grassland, and would not survive in Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, ___59___ archaeologist from Macquarie University. “The discovery of boat images in the rock art this distant from lakes and rivers was also surprising.” Archaeologists believe the discovery ___60___ (provide) clear evidence supporting the theory of an once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E. During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers, ___61___ (sustain) a variety of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding. However, changes in African monsoon (季风) patterns transformed the Sahara ___62___ the barren desert we know today. ___63___ (current), only hard y animals like camels and goats can survive there. The rock art’s detailed carvings suggest that the creators spent plenty of time in the area, ___64___ (far) indicating that the region was once supportive of human life. As the climate grew unforgiving, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia. The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that ___65___ (occur) in the Sahara over the past thousands of years. 【答案】56. places 57. that##which 58. carved 59. an 60. provides 61. sustaining 62. into 63. Currently 64. further 65. have occurred 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述在撒哈拉沙漠的Atbai Desert发现了岩画，这些岩画展示了船只和牛群，尽管该地区距离最近的水体有60英里远。这一发现支持了关于公元前3000年左右曾经存在“绿色撒哈拉”的理论。 【56题详解】 考查名词。句意：阿特拜沙漠是撒哈拉沙漠的一部分，是地球上最干燥的地方之一，平均每年降雨量为零毫米。one of后应接名词复数。故填places。 【57题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：因此，当考古学家在距离最近的水源60英里的地区发现描绘船只和牛的岩石艺术时，他们感到惊讶。此处需要一个关系代词来引导定语从句，先行词是an area，在从句中做主语，因此使用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。 58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“在沙漠岩壁上发现牛的雕刻令人惊讶，因为它们需要大量的水和广阔的草地，而在今天的撒哈拉沙漠中无法生存，”麦克里大学的考古学家朱利安·库珀说。空白处在句子中作定语，carve(雕刻)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语cattle之间是动宾关系，表示“牛被雕刻在沙漠岩壁上”，因此使用过去分词carved作后置定语。故填carved。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“在沙漠岩壁上发现牛的雕刻令人惊讶，因为它们需要大量的水和广阔的草地，而在今天的撒哈拉沙漠中无法生存，”麦克里大学的考古学家朱利安·库珀说。泛指“一位考古学家”且archaeologist首字母的发音为元音音素。故填an。 【60题详解】 考查时态。句意：考古学家认为这一发现清楚地证明了公元前3000年左右曾经存在一个“绿色撒哈拉”的理论。陈述事实，为一般现在时，主语单数，谓语单数。故填provides。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在这一时期，该地区是一个长满草的平原，拥有湖泊和河流，支撑着各种野生动物和人类活动，如放牧牛群。was是谓语动词，sustain(支撑)作后置定语，与其逻辑主语lakes and rivers之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此使用现在分词sustaining表主动，作后置定语。故填sustaining。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，非洲季风模式的变化将撒哈拉变成了我们今天所知的荒芜沙漠。transform...into...是固定短语，意为“把……变成……”。故填into。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：目前，只有像骆驼和山羊这样耐寒的动物才能在那里生存。此处需要一个副词来修饰整个句子，表示时间上的“目前”，用副词currently，句首单词首字母大写。故填Currently。 【64题详解】 考查副词比较级。句意：岩石艺术的精细雕刻表明创作者在该地区花费了大量时间，进一步表明该地区曾经能够支持人类生活。根据句意可知，表示进一步表明该地区曾经能够支持人类生活，用比较级further作状语。故填further。 【65题详解】 考查时态。句意：这一发现为过去几千年撒哈拉沙漠发生的变化提供了宝贵的见解。提示词作定语从句谓语，根据时间状语over the past thousands of years可知，此处描述的是过去几千年间发生的事情对现在的影响，因此使用现在完成时。主语that(即先行词changes)是复数名词，因此助动词使用have。故填have occurred。 第四部分：写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节： (满分15分) 66. 假设你是李华，上周六你班参观了当地的传统手工作坊（handicraft workshop），请你写一则短文向校英文报投稿。内容包括： 1. 你的经历； 2. 你的收获。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 A Memorable Visit to a Handicraft Workshop ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A Memorable Visit to a Handicraft Workshop Last Saturday, our class went on a journey through time to a local handicraft workshop, where the art of making is not just an exceptional skill, but a living, breathing tradition. As we stepped into the workshop, the air was filled with the scent of clay and the soft hum of tools at work. Stunned by a wide array of delicate ceramics, I embarked on my first attempt at a vase under the guidance of a seasoned craftsman. With the wheel spinning and clay taking form under my hands, I was overwhelmed with thrill and satisfaction. This experience has left me with a newfound respect for the art of making and deeper insights into the cultural heritage that the craft represents. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一则短文向校英文报投稿，说明参观当地的传统手工作坊的经历。 【详解】1.词汇积累 充满：be filled with→be full of 杰出的：exceptional→outstanding 传统：tradition→custom 满意：satisfaction→content 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With the wheel spinning and clay taking form under my hands, I was overwhelmed with thrill and satisfaction. 拓展句：When I had the wheel spinning and clay under my hands, I was overwhelmed with thrill and satisfaction. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Last Saturday, our class went on a journey through time to a local handicraft workshop, where the art of making is not just an exceptional skill, but a living, breathing tradition.

In my head, I could hear the words my father kept telling me, “Do it, Stephanie. You never do anything for yourself. Just set it up.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it. “Did you sign up?” my father asked. When he saw the drumsticks in my hand, he smiled and then came to hug me. Wednesday came, and along with it was my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (摆弄) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an old man looking at me. “Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said. He led me to a room. There were two drum sets, and he told me to sit at the one close to the door. Out of the door gathered the crowd, chatting and chuckling. People made me nervous. That’s the way I’d always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him. I learned how to read simple sheets of music, but then my thirty- minute lesson was over. Walking back to my father’s car, I felt the energy beaming from within me. It was the first time that I had done something purely for my enjoyment, something just for myself. I practiced as much as I could throughout the week. Even my four-year-old dog Pluto often complained that I never played with it. My second lesson came, and I played the sheets of music for Mike. I noticed as I played that Mike’s concentration became more and more apparent. When I finished the whole lesson, Mike said “You played that perfectly!” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；(2)开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: After months of playing, one day, Mike invited me to play at a small concert. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Walking up on the stage, I took a deep breath and sat at the drum set. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After months of playing, one day, Mike invited me to play at a small concert. Practicing drumming became an essential part of my daily routine. The hours spent honing my skills were not just about mastering the instrument; they’re about discipline and love. My father, watching with a gentle smile, often stood by the door. His words of encouragement soothed my anxiety. With each nod of his head and every proud grin, my determination skyrocketed. Finally, the big day came. Walking up on the stage, I took a deep breath and sat at the drum set. Lights flashing, I began to play. My hands moved swiftly, striking the drumheads with precision and power, each hits ending vibrations through the air that seemed to capture the audience’s hearts. The rhythm intensified, building like a storm, and the crowd watched in awe, their eyes glued to my every move. As the final beat hit, the air was filled with an electrifying energy, and the yard erupted in applause. Their applause was recognition to the power of music and me. “Stephanie, yes, you can do anything that you like!” I grinned with delight, drumsticks in my hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者喜欢打鼓，但父亲并不看好作者。最后是迈克老师鼓励了作者，邀请作者参加音乐会演奏，作者通过不懈努力，最后证明了自己。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“演奏了几个月后，有一天，迈克邀请我在一个小型音乐会上演奏”可知，第一段可描写作者为了音乐会坚持练习，父亲也鼓励作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“走上舞台，我深吸了一口气，坐在架子鼓前”可知，第二段可描写作者演出的结果以及作者对此感悟。 2.续写线索：邀请去演奏——花时间练习——父亲鼓励——下定决心——完成演出——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①爆发：erupt in/burst into ②充满：be filled with /be full of ③捕捉：capture/catch 情绪类 ①爱：love/affection ②高兴：delight/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Practicing drumming became an essential part of my daily routine.

A travel blog C. A scientific report D. A sports magazine B As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable (不可避免的) that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments. But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, named Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other. Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too. That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children. “I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a sandwich instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.” Soogia’s tearful video tug at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone commented. 24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage? A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent. B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children. C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows. D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children. 25.

What does the underlined phrases “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 7 mean? A. Encourage cooperation. B. Appeal to feelings. C Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice. C Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow special rules. D They are good at swinging their legs. 29. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically. C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. 30. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 31. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. D Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes — like swapping a frozen meat lasagne (宽面条) for the vegetarian option — could push the reduction to as much as 71%. Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options. Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact databasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods (e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equivalent to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added. A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star (high emissions) to five stars (low emissions). “While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive display of a single, standardised sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded pro f Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. 32. What’s the function of paragraph 2? A. To set the stage for further explanation. B. To summarize the previous paragraph. C. To give supporting details for the writer’s argument. D. To make a comparison between different countries. 33. Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products? A. To set up a comprehensive database. B. To figure out the detailed food categories. C. To measure emissions reduced by switching food. D. To ensure less air pollution caused by food options. 34. What do we know about ecoSwitch? A. It is popular in high- income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products. C. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. D. It ensures wiser choices for food purchase. 35. What’s the best title of the text? A. EcoSwitch—a Reminder of Food Safety B. Dietary habits—a Factor of Physical Health C. Food swaps—a Way of Environmental Sustainability D. Greenhouse gas emissions—a Cause of Environmental Crisis 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。 No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying from the late Dutchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor reflects much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is recognized as such a virtue. The problem with this view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. ____36____ Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better-or-worse-part of my life. ____37____ And when did eating butter become a sin (原罪)? All religions l have certain days when people contain their desire from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some social groups, wealth was a blessing and a symbol of high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being. ____38____ We have shifted to thinness us our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat, or somewhat overweight, is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. ____39____ It is true that we have more overweight people than before, and that being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood diseases. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with extra weight. And the risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem—too much fat und a lack of fibre—than a weight problem. The real concern, then, is not that we weigh mo much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and overall health. A balanced diet can also help the body avoid diseases. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually dangerous if those thin people think they are automatically healthy and thus free from caring about their lifestyle. ____40____ A. Today the opposite is true. B. Thinness makes a big difference. C. Then where did we go off the track? D. It is time to change their (and our) concept of thinness. E. There is much to do when we realize we’ve gone too far. F. Our addiction to thinness is also fueled by health concerns. G. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer cloches. 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。 I was seated in the aisle (过道) seat of a three-seater row on the plane to Portugal.

So, archaeologists were surprised when they discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area ___57___ is 60 miles away from the closest body of water. “It was surprising to find cattle ___58___ ( carve) on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wide-open grassland, and would not survive in Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, ___59___ archaeologist from Macquarie University. “The discovery of boat images in the rock art this distant from lakes and rivers was also surprising.” Archaeologists believe the discovery ___60___ (provide) clear evidence supporting the theory of an once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E. During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers, ___61___ (sustain) a variety of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding. However, changes in African monsoon (季风) patterns transformed the Sahara ___62___ the barren desert we know today. ___63___ (current), only hard y animals like camels and goats can survive there. The rock art’s detailed carvings suggest that the creators spent plenty of time in the area, ___64___ (far) indicating that the region was once supportive of human life. As the climate grew unforgiving, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia. The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that ___65___ (occur) in the Sahara over the past thousands of years. 第四部分：写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节： (满分15分) 66. 假设你是李华，上周六你班参观了当地的传统手工作坊（handicraft workshop），请你写一则短文向校英文报投稿。内容包括： 1. 你的经历； 2. 你的收获。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 A Memorable Visit to a Handicraft Workshop ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节： (满分25分) 67. 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。 My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my father kept telling me, “Do it, Stephanie. You never do anything for yourself. Just set it up.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it. “Did you sign up?” my father asked. When he saw the drumsticks in my hand, he smiled and then came to hug me. Wednesday came, and along with it was my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (摆弄) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an old man looking at me. “Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said. He led me to a room. There were two drum sets, and he told me to sit at the one close to the door. Out of the door gathered the crowd, chatting and chuckling. People made me nervous. That’s the way I’d always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him. I learned how to read simple sheets of music, but then my thirty- minute lesson was over. Walking back to my father’s car, I felt the energy beaming from within me. It was the first time that I had done something purely for my enjoyment, something just for myself. I practiced as much as I could throughout the week. Even my four-year-old dog Pluto often complained that I never played with it. My second lesson came, and I played the sheets of music for Mike. I noticed as I played that Mike’s concentration became more and more apparent. When I finished the whole lesson, Mike said “You played that perfectly!” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；(2)开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: After months of playing, one day, Mike invited me to play at a small concert. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Walking up on the stage, I took a deep breath and sat at the drum set. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
