Here are four of the Istanbul’s best dining choices. Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut This famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood. One of the pleasures of dining here is the warmth of the owner of the restaurant, who can often be found walking from table to table to collect diners’ advice. And the food is also exceptional. Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab. Dates (椰枣) filled with cheese at Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot Among the streets of Balat, a simple door marks the entrance of Smelt &. Co. Gastro Spot. The chefs offer a seasonal menu mainly featuring vegetables and seafood, making the most of local products. While dishes rarely repeat, there’s one that seems to make regular appearances on the menu: dates filled with cheese. Turkish breakfast at Privato Cafe Located in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city. Guests are treated to a rich feast, starting with fresh tomatoes, salted olives, cheeses, and jams, many of which are made in house. Then comes the second wave: grilled spicy sausage, kebab and some sweet desserts. Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende Cadde One of Istanbul’s best- kept secrets is hidden in a side street. Nazende Cadde has only recently caught the attention of customers. It’s famous for dishes like grilled sweetbreads, but its typical achievement is the melt-in-your-mouth baby calamari. The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together. 1. What’s available in the first restaurant? A. Historical indoor decoration. B. Valuable advice from its owner. C. The best butter in Istanbul. D. The sweetbread kebab. 2. What do Sadrazam Mahmut and Privato Cafe have in common? A. They’re located in old neighbourhoods. B. They’re willing to take suggestions. C. They adopt homema de materials. D. They mainly provide seafood. 3. Which restaurant is most suitable for family gathering? A. Sadrazam Mahmut. B. Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot. C. Privato Cafe. D. Nazende Cadde. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是四个伊斯坦布尔的最佳用餐去处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut部分中的“Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab.(也许最好的菜是甜面包串)”可知，在第一家餐厅可以吃到甜面包串。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut部分中的“This famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood.(这家著名的餐馆位于历史悠久的Sütlüce街区)”可知，餐馆位于历史悠久的Sütlüce街区，结合Turkish breakfast at Privato Café部分中的“Located in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city.(位于历史悠久的加拉塔的下，这个热点提供了在城市最受欢迎的土耳其早餐自助餐之一)”可知，该餐馆位于历史悠久的加拉塔的下。由此可知，两家餐馆的共同之处在于它们都位于老街区。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende Cadde部分中的“The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together.(室外空间，热情的服务和丰富的菜单使它特别适合聚会)”可知，该餐厅的服务和丰富的菜单适合聚会。由此可知，最适合家庭聚会的是Nazende Cadde。故选D项。 B On the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried. In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared. Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.” However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard. “At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing. “I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said. Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said. 4. What did Dorestant worry about her son at first? A. He was frightened to meet his new classmates. B. He was embarrassed to pose for a photo. C. He might get lost on his way to school. D. He might be unprepared for the new term. 5. What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Worried. 6. What can we know about Dorestant’s video? A. It went unnoticed. B. It made record profits. C. It put Corey in trouble. D. It was well received. 7. What did Dorestant advise parents to do? A. Believe their own judgement. B. Serve as an experienced guide. C. Give full play to kids’ potential. D. Teach their children everything. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位母亲在儿子第一天上学的时候帮助儿子做好上学的准备，但是儿子的一张照片让她发现事情的发展和她想的不一样。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.”(Dorestant分享道：“科里在别人面前会变得害羞和焦虑，所以我想确保他在新学校的第一天拍照时感到放松。”)”和第四段中“However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. (然而，科里在照片中的实际姿势远非他妈妈所期望的害羞甜美的笑容)”可知，起初Dorestant担心儿子会因害羞和不安而不好意思在人前摆姿势拍照。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由第五段中““At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. (“第一眼看到这张照片，我stunned；我花了大约五分钟的时间来处理，因为我简直不敢相信我所看到的，”Dorestant说)”可知，Dorestant简直不敢相信她在照片上看到的东西。由此推知，Dorestant在第一次看到照片时的反应是震惊的，划线词stunned与“shocked (震惊的)”意思一致。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中“Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. (Dorestant的视频有超过1800万的浏览量和25000条评论，许多人对结果感到惊讶。一位用户写道：“没有什么能让我为结局做好准备”，而另一位用户则评论说这是“最好的情况”)”可推知，Dorestant的视频引起了网友的共鸣，受到了好评。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中Dorestant说的话“As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own (作为父母，我们经常觉得有必要保护我们的孩子，让他们为这个世界做好准备，这可能会让我们对他们的准备感到焦虑，但我们需要相信他们的能力，给他们自己发光的空间)”可知，Dorestant建议家长们应相信孩子们的能力，给他们自己发光的空间，充分发挥孩子的潜力。故选C项。 C Have you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough? If so, you might like a new device that can lend a helping hand literally (真正地). You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe. Currently, the robotic arm is worn in the middle of your chest, but it can also be placed above your shoulders or at your side, depending on what you want to do with it. Engineer Giulia Dominijanni, part of a team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), helped create the device. In the past, robotic arms were designed to replace lost arms, with brain signals controlling them. This new device allows users to control an extra arm while still using their real arms. For this reason, the team designed it to be controlled by breathing. The robotic arm can sense the movement of your diaphragm (膈膜), the muscle that helps you breathe. When you breathe in, the robotic arm stretches; when you breathe out, it retracts (缩回). Breathing normally keeps the arm still. Before making the actual arm, the EPFL team created a virtual reality (VR) model. Volunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm. After successful VR tests, the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one. Early tests showed that users could comfortably operate the extra arm alongside their own arms. However, researchers are still exploring how well people can control this robotic arm without affecting the use of their natural arms. Jacob George, a director at the University of Utah’s robotics center, notes, “When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well.” And scientists at EPFL believe that understanding this could benefit those with disabilities or people recovering from injuries. 8. How do EPFL’s robotic arms differ from previous ones? A. They feature affordable prices. B. They are operated by breathing. C. They can address our health issues. D. They are controlled by brain signals. 9. Why did the EPFL team create a VR model? A. To cut its production cost. B. To attract more volunteers. C. To know how brains work. D. To test the newly-invented arm’s actual function. 10. What is Jacob’s attitude to the robotic arm? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Robotics Gives Us an Extra Arm B. A New Device Helps Scientists C The Secret of Human Brains D. Tips on How to Use an Extra Arm 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款新型机械臂设备，该设备通过用户的呼吸肌肉进行控制，并与过去的机械臂进行了对比。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe. (你戴上这个机械臂，然后用你用来呼吸的肌肉来控制它)”和第三段“In the past, robotic arms were designed to replace lost arms, with brain signals controlling them. This new device allows users to control an extra arm while still using their real arms. For this reason, the team designed it to be controlled by breathing (在过去，机器人手臂被设计用来代替失去的手臂，由大脑信号控制。这款新设备允许用户在使用真实手臂的同时控制额外的手臂。出于这个原因，该团队将其设计为通过呼吸来控制)”可知，新型机械臂相比过去的优势在于它不需由大脑信号控制手臂，它可以通过用户的呼吸肌肉来控制。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段中“Volunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm. (志愿者学会了使用呼吸传感器控制这个虚拟的第三只手臂。测试表明，人们在使用手臂时可以很容易地环顾四周和说话)”和第六段中“After successful VR tests, the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one. (在成功进行VR测试后，该团队构建了一个简单的机器人手臂，其功能类似于虚拟手臂)”可知，EPFL团队创建VR模型是为了测试新发明的手臂的实际功能。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中Jacob George说的话中“When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well. (当你在身体上添加新的东西时，大脑能做多少还不清楚。但随着时间的推移，可以很好地控制新的手臂)”可知，Jacob George觉得机械臂长远来看有好处。由此推知，他对机械臂持积极态度。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“Have you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough? If so, you might like a new device that can lend a helping hand literally (真正地). You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe. (你是否曾因为双臂不够而难以完成任务？如果是这样，你可能会喜欢一种可以真正伸出援手的新设备。你戴上这个机械臂，然后用你用来呼吸的肌肉来控制它)”和下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一款新型机械臂设备正在研发中。由此可知，A项“机器人给了我们额外的手臂”适合作本文标题。故选A项。 D The Europa Clipper spacecraft has reached a key milestone and is on track to launch to explore Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星), Europa. The launch window for its journey opens on October 10. On Monday, the mission passed Key Decision Point E, which is a critical planning stage that allows the mission to move forward. This news was a relief for the Europa Clipper team, especially after a possible issue with the spacecraft’s transistors (晶体管) discovered in May. These transistors are important for controlling the spacecraft’s electricity and needed to survive Jupiter’s high levels of radiation (辐射). Over the past four months, the team have conducted many tests on the transistors at different NASA facilities. They made sure to finish testing on time to avoid putting off the launch. Europa Clipper will carry ten scientific instruments to help determine if Europa could support life in its salty, subsurface ocean. With the mission approved, there are no changes to the launch plan. “It’s the last sort of big examination before we really get into that launch fever, and we’re really happy to say that they passed that examination today,” said Nicola Fox from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has a powerful magnetic field (磁场) which is 20,000 times stronger than Earth’s. Any spacecraft going there must have radiation- hardened electronics. Jordan Evans, the project manager, noted that Europa is at the edge of a radiation belt, making it a challenging place to explore. Curt Niebur, a program scientist, noted this mission is not about looking for life itself but determining if necessary elements for life, such as water and energy, are present on Europa. If Europa Clipper finds these, it could lead to a follow- up mission to search for life. 12. What can be inferred about the spacecraft’s transistors from paragraph 2? A. They put off the launch mission. B. They fell into pieces in space. C. They are in good condition now. D. They had survived on the moon. 13. What did Nicola want to say about the result of the mission’s final examination? A. It was satisfying. B. It was subject to change. C. It was wasting time. D. It was out of expectation. 14. What is the mission’s key goal centered on? A. Building a habitable planet for human beings. B. Exploring signs of supporting life on Europa. C. Figuring out how much water Europa contains. D. Repairing transistors on the Europa Clipper spacecraft. 15 Where is this text most likely from? A. A dairy. B. A newspaper. C. A brochure. D. A guidebook. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了Europa Clipper宇宙飞船已经达到了一个关键的里程碑，并按计划发射，探索木星的卫星Europa。它的发射窗口将于10月10日开启。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“On Monday, the mission passed Key Decision Point E, which is a critical planning stage that allows the mission to move forward. This news was a relief for the Europa Clipper team, especially after a possible issue with the spacecraft’s transistors (晶体管) discovered in May. (周一，任务通过了关键点E，这是一个关键的规划阶段，可以让任务向前推进。这一消息让Europa Clipper团队松了一口气，特别是在5月份发现了航天器晶体管可能存在的问题之后)”，根据该项任务向前推进可推知，宇宙飞船的晶体管现在状况良好。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“With the mission approved, there are no changes to the launch plan. “It’s the last sort of big examination before we really get into that launch fever, and we’re really happy to say that they passed that examination today,” said Nicola Fox from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.(随着任务的批准，发射计划没有变化。美国国家航空航天局科学任务理事会的尼古拉·福克斯说：“这是我们真正进入发射热潮之前的最后一次大考试，我们很高兴地说，他们今天通过了考试。”)”可知，尼古拉认为这次任务的结果是令人满意的。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Curt Niebur, a program scientist, noted this mission is not about looking for life itself but determining if necessary elements for life, such as water and energy, are present on Europa. (项目科学家柯特·尼伯（Curt Niebur）指出，这项任务的目的不是寻找生命本身，而是确定木星的卫星Europa上是否存在水和能量等生命的必要元素)”可知，该任务的主要目标是探索木星上是否有生命存在的迹象。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The Europa Clipper spacecraft has reached a key milestone and is on track to launch to explore Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星), Europa. The launch window for its journey opens on October 10.(Europa Clipper宇宙飞船已经达到了一个关键的里程碑，并按计划发射，探索木星的卫星Europa。它的发射窗口将于10月10日开启)”可知，主要介绍了Europa Clipper宇宙飞船已经达到了一个关键的里程碑，并按计划发射，探索木星的卫星Europa，本文是一篇新闻报道，可能出现在报纸的科学类板块，故选B。 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。 Gift-giving has been a timeless tradition of human culture. Across centuries, the act of presenting gifts carries great significance, not only in its material exchange but in the connections it establishes. ____16____ Central to this joy is the sense of connection it forms. Selecting a gift involves a thoughtful investment of time and consideration into understanding the receiver’s needs. ____17____ Thus, giving becomes a tangible (可感知的) expression of care and affection, which goes beyond the mere material value of the gift. Moreover, gift-giving develops empathy (同理心). ____18____ This selfless act of putting someone else’s happiness before our own allows us to experience a sense of fulfillment that arises from making a positive impact on someone’s life. ____19____ The act of receiving a gift may bring immediate happiness, but over time, that joy may fade. In contrast, the act of giving gifts leaves a lasting impression on both the giver and the receiver. The emotional connection formed during the process and the shared experience of exchanging gifts become precious memories that can be revisited in the years to come. While receiving gifts undoubtedly brings happiness, the act of giving gifts offers a unique sense of joy that surpasses (超过) the temporary excitement of unwrapping presents. The power of connection, empathy, and the creation of lasting memories are some of the reasons why giving gifts makes us happier than receiving them. ____20____ A. Gift-giving has the power to create lasting memories. B. Thus, for our own sake, let’s practice the art of gift-giving. C. It enables us to truly understand the emotions of our family. D. It redirects our focus from self-centeredness to the happiness of others. E. While it is delightful to receive gifts, giving itself often brings about greater joy. F. So, let’s welcome the joy of giving, celebrating its power to enrich relationships. G. This process improves emotional connections, deepening each other’s appreciation. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是赠送礼物这一行为的重要意义。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Across centuries, the act of presenting gifts carries great significance, not only in its material exchange but in the connections it establishes.(几个世纪以来，赠送礼物的行为具有重要意义，不仅在于它的物质交换，还在于它建立的联系)”可知，此处是对赠送礼物的意义简要概述，结合第二段的首句“Central to this joy is the sense of connection it forms.(这种快乐的核心是它所形成的联系感)”可知，此空既是对赠送礼物的意义的简述，也应引出下文，E选项“While it is delightful to receive gifts, giving itself often brings about greater joy.(虽然收到礼物是令人愉快的，但给予本身往往带来更大的快乐)”可知，此处讲述的是赠送礼物会给人带来快乐，进而引出下文中介绍快乐的核心，joy为解题的关键信息，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Selecting a gift involves a thoughtful investment of time and consideration into understanding the receiver’s needs.(选择礼物需要花时间和考虑了解收礼人的需要)”可知，此处指的是选择礼物的过程，G选项“This process improves emotional connections, deepening each other’s appreciation.(这个过程改善了情感联系，加深了彼此的欣赏)”中的this process指的是空前的“选择礼物的过程”，承接上文。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Moreover, gift-giving develops empathy (同理心).(此外，赠送礼物还能培养同理心)”可知，此处讲述的是赠送礼物会带来的好处——培养同理心，结合空后的“This selfless act of putting someone else’s happiness before our own allows us to experience a sense of fulfillment that arises from making a positive impact on someone’s life.(这种把别人的幸福放在自己的幸福之前的无私行为让我们体验到一种满足感，这种满足感来自于对别人的生活产生积极的影响)”可知，培养同理心带来的好处，由此可推断，此空讲述的内容应与“同理心”相关，D选项“It enables us to truly understand the emotions of our family.(它将我们的注意力从自我中心转移到他人的幸福上)”讲述的内容是对“同理心”的进一步阐述，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，根据下文的“The act of receiving a gift may bring immediate happiness, but over time, that joy may fade. In contrast, the act of giving gifts leaves a lasting impression on both the giver and the receiver.(收到礼物的行为可能会立即带来快乐，但随着时间的推移，这种快乐可能会消失。相反，送礼的行为会给送礼者和受礼者留下持久的印象)”可知，此处讲述的是相比收到礼物带来的快乐，送礼物的行为会给双方带来更持久的印象，由此可知，本段讲述的内容与赠送礼物这一行为带来的快乐的持久性相关，A选项“Gift-giving has the power to create lasting memories.(送礼物有创造持久记忆的力量)”讲述的内容与本段讲述的内容吻合，可以概括本段的主题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 此空位于文章最后，应是进行总结，结合空前的“The power of connection, empathy, and the creation of lasting memories are some of the reasons why giving gifts makes us happier than receiving them.(联系、同理心和创造持久记忆的力量是送礼物比收礼物让我们更快乐的一些原因)”可知，送礼物在创建联系，培养同理心以及创造持久记忆方面，送礼物都比收礼物更让人快乐，所以，文章最后应是提出送礼物的建议，F选项“So, let’s welcome the joy of giving, celebrating its power to enrich relationships.(所以，让我们欢迎给予的喜悦，庆祝它丰富人际关系的力量)”中的“let’s welcome the joy of giving”提议人们欢迎给予的快乐，也就是建议人们赠送礼物，这样会带来更多的快乐，符合语境。故选F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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the UK, one in every three children lives in poverty.

I used to love spending time with them, but now I found myself withdrawing more and more into my own world, preferring the company of my thoughts. My father, noticing this growing distance, decided to reach out to me in a way I didn’t expect. One evening, as I went to bed, I found a neatly folded letter on my pillow (枕头). It was from my father. Curiously, I opened it and read his words of love, concern, and encouragement. He shared stories from his own teenage years, the challenges he faced, and the lessons he learned. His words were gentle and understanding, acknowledging the changes I was going through while offering support. Every night after that, there was a new letter waiting for me. Each one was different but always heartfelt. Sometimes he would write about his day, and other times he shared a quote or a piece of wisdom. He always ended with a note of encouragement, reminding me that I was loved and that he was there for me, no matter what happened. At first, I didn’t know how to respond. My initial reaction was to ignore the letters, but I couldn’t help feeling touched by his efforts. After a few days, I decided to write back. I poured my heart into that first letter, sharing my struggles, my fears, and my anxieties about high school. I told him how lonely I felt and the pressures from school and social life. To my surprise, my father responded with even more compassion (同情). He acknowledged my feelings and offered advice, but most importantly, he made me feel heard and understood. Our letters became a nightly habit. Through these written exchanges, I felt a sense of connection that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As our nightly exchange of letters continued, I began to notice some changes in our relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This newfound connection had a positive impact on other aspects of my life as well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： As our nightly exchange of letters continued, I began to notice some changes in our relationship. My father and I started having more meaningful conversations at the dinner table, and his understanding presence became a comforting constant in my life. The letters had opened up a channel of communication that allowed me to express myself freely, and my father’s thoughtful responses made me feel valued and supported. Gradually, the awkward silence that once filled our home was replaced with warm discussions and shared laughter. I felt a renewed sense of closeness with him, something I hadn’t realized I was missing. This newfound connection had a positive impact on other aspects of my life as well. In school, I felt more confident participating in class and engaging with my peers. The anxiety that used to overwhelm me began to fade, replaced by a sense of stability. I also started to enjoy activities that I had abandoned, like family game nights and weekend outings. My relationship with my mother improved too, as she noticed the positive changes and joined in our newfound openness. The letters had not only brought my father and me closer but had also helped rebuild our family bond, creating a harmonious and supportive environment that I cherished forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者进入高中后，开始疏远父母，沉浸在自己的世界里，更喜欢和自己的思想在一起。作者的父亲注意作者的变化，决定每天晚上给作者一封信表达自己的关心和鼓励。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着我们每晚通信的继续，我开始注意到我们的关系发生了一些变化”可知，第一段可描写作者和父亲的关系的变化，尴尬的沉默变为热烈的讨论和共同的笑声，作者和父亲之间重新产生了亲密感。 ②由第二段首句内容“这种新发现的联系也对我生活的其他方面产生了积极的影响。”可知，第二段可描写作者和家人的关系的变化产生的积极的影响。 2.续写线索：每晚通信——和爸爸产生亲密感——妈妈关系改善———同学关系融洽———变得自信———感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①代替：be replaced with/replace/substitute ②.意识到：be aware of/realize ③. 珍视：cherish/treasure 情绪类 ①. 令人欣慰的：comforting / reassuring ②.自信的：self-assurance / confident 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Here are four of the Istanbul’s best dining choices. Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut This famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood. One of the pleasures of dining here is the warmth of the owner of the restaurant, who can often be found walking from table to table to collect diners’ advice. And the food is also exceptional. Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab. Dates (椰枣) filled with cheese at Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot Among the streets of Balat, a simple door marks the entrance of Smelt &. Co. Gastro Spot. The chefs offer a seasonal menu mainly featuring vegetables and seafood, making the most of local products. While dishes rarely repeat, there’s one that seems to make regular appearances on the menu: dates filled with cheese. Turkish breakfast at Privato Cafe Located in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city. Guests are treated to a rich feast, starting with fresh tomatoes, salted olives, cheeses, and jams, many of which are made in house. Then comes the second wave: grilled spicy sausage, kebab and some sweet desserts. Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende Cadde One of Istanbul’s best- kept secrets is hidden in a side street. Nazende Cadde has only recently caught the attention of customers. It’s famous for dishes like grilled sweetbreads, but its typical achievement is the melt-in-your-mouth baby calamari. The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together. 1. What’s available in the first restaurant? A. Historical indoor decoration. B. Valuable advice from its owner. C. The best butter in Istanbul. D. The sweetbread kebab. 2. What do Sadrazam Mahmut and Privato Cafe have in common? A. They’re located in old neighbourhoods. B. They’re willing to take suggestions. C. They adopt homema de materials. D. They mainly provide seafood. 3. Which restaurant is most suitable for family gathering? A. Sadrazam Mahmut. B. Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot. C. Privato Cafe. D. Nazende Cadde. B On the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried. In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared. Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.” However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard. “At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing. “I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said. Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said. 4. What did Dorestant worry about her son at first? A. He was frightened to meet his new classmates. B. He was embarrassed to pose for a photo. C He might get lost on his way to school. D. He might be unprepared for the new term. 5. What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Worried. 6. What can we know about Dorestant’s video? A. It went unnoticed. B. It made record profits. C. It put Corey in trouble. D. It was well received. 7. What did Dorestant advise parents to do? A. Believe their own judgement. B. Serve as an experienced guide. C. Give full play to kids’ potential. D. Teach their children everything. C Have you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough? If so, you might like a new device that can lend a helping hand literally (真正地). You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe. Currently, the robotic arm is worn in the middle of your chest, but it can also be placed above your shoulders or at your side, depending on what you want to do with it. Engineer Giulia Dominijanni, part of a team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), helped create the device. In the past, robotic arms were designed to replace lost arms, with brain signals controlling them. This new device allows users to control an extra arm while still using their real arms. For this reason, the team designed it to be controlled by breathing. The robotic arm can sense the movement of your diaphragm (膈膜), the muscle that helps you breathe. When you breathe in, the robotic arm stretches; when you breathe out, it retracts (缩回). Breathing normally keeps the arm still. Before making the actual arm, the EPFL team created a virtual reality (VR) model. Volunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm. After successful VR tests, the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one. Early tests showed that users could comfortably operate the extra arm alongside their own arms. However, researchers are still exploring how well people can control this robotic arm without affecting the use of their natural arms. Jacob George, a director at the University of Utah’s robotics center, notes, “When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well.” And scientists at EPFL believe that understanding this could benefit those with disabilities or people recovering from injuries. 8. How do EPFL’s robotic arms differ from previous ones? A. They feature affordable prices. B. They are operated by breathing. C. They can address our health issues. D. They are controlled by brain signals. 9. Why did the EPFL team create a VR model? A. To cut its production cost. B. To attract more volunteers. C. To know how brains work. D. To test the newly-invented arm’s actual function. 10. What is Jacob’s attitude to the robotic arm? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Robotics Gives Us an Extra Arm B. A New Device Helps Scientists C. The Secret of Human Brains D. Tips on How to Use an Extra Arm D The Europa Clipper spacecraft has reached a key milestone and is on track to launch to explore Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星), Europa. The launch window for its journey opens on October 10. On Monday, the mission passed Key Decision Point E, which is a critical planning stage that allows the mission to move forward. This news was a relief for the Europa Clipper team, especially after a possible issue with the spacecraft’s transistors (晶体管) discovered in May. These transistors are important for controlling the spacecraft’s electricity and needed to survive Jupiter’s high levels of radiation (辐射). Over the past four months, the team have conducted many tests on the transistors at different NASA facilities. They made sure to finish testing on time to avoid putting off the launch. Europa Clipper will carry ten scientific instruments to help determine if Europa could support life in its salty, subsurface ocean. With the mission approved, there are no changes to the launch plan. “It’s the last sort of big examination before we really get into that launch fever, and we’re really happy to say that they passed that examination today,” said Nicola Fox from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has a powerful magnetic field (磁场) which is 20000 times stronger than Earth’s. Any spacecraft going there must have radiation- hardened electronics. Jordan Evans, the project manager, noted that Europa is at the edge of a radiation belt, making it a challenging place to explore. Curt Niebur, a program scientist, noted this mission is not about looking for life itself but determining if necessary elements for life, such as water and energy, are present on Europa. If Europa Clipper finds these, it could lead to a follow- up mission to search for life. 12. What can be inferred about the spacecraft’s transistors from paragraph 2? A. They put off the launch mission. B. They fell into pieces in space. C. They are in good condition now. D. They had survived on the moon. 13. What did Nicola want to say about the result of the mission’s final examination? A. It was satisfying. B. It was subject to change. C. It was wasting time. D. It was out of expectation. 14. What is the mission’s key goal centered on? A. Building a habitable planet for human beings. B. Exploring signs of supporting life on Europa. C. Figuring out how much water Europa contains. D. Repairing transistors on the Europa Clipper spacecraft. 15. Where is this text most likely from? A. A dairy. B. A newspaper. C. A brochure. D. A guidebook. 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。 Gift-giving has been a timeless tradition of human culture. Across centuries, the act of presenting gifts carries great significance, not only in its material exchange but in the connections it establishes. ____16____ Central to this joy is the sense of connection it forms. Selecting a gift involves a thoughtful investment of time and consideration into understanding the receiver’s needs. ____17____ Thus, giving becomes a tangible (可感知的) expression of care and affection, which goes beyond the mere material value of the gift. Moreover, gift-giving develops empathy (同理心). ____18____ This selfless act of putting someone else’s happiness before our own allows us to experience a sense of fulfillment that arises from making a positive impact on someone’s life. ____19____ The act of receiving a gift may bring immediate happiness, but over time, that joy may fade. In contrast, the act of giving gifts leaves a lasting impression on both the giver and the receiver. The emotional connection formed during the process and the shared experience of exchanging gifts become precious memories that can be revisited in the years to come. While receiving gifts undoubtedly brings happiness, the act of giving gifts offers a unique sense of joy that surpasses (超过) the temporary excitement of unwrapping presents. The power of connection, empathy, and the creation of lasting memories are some of the reasons why giving gifts makes us happier than receiving them. ____20____ A. Gift-giving has the power to create lasting memories. B. Thus, for our own sake, let’s practice the art of gift-giving. C. It enables us to truly understand the emotions of our family. D. It redirects our focus from self-centeredness to the happiness of others. E. While it is delightful to receive gifts, giving itself often brings about greater joy. F. So, let’s welcome the joy of giving, celebrating its power to enrich relationships. G. This process improves emotional connections, deepening each other’s appreciation. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the UK, one in every three children lives in poverty.

I used to love spending time with them, but now I found myself withdrawing more and more into my own world, preferring the company of my thoughts. My father, noticing this growing distance, decided to reach out to me in a way I didn’t expect. One evening, as I went to bed, I found a neatly folded letter on my pillow (枕头). It was from my father. Curiously, I opened it and read his words of love, concern, and encouragement. He shared stories from his own teenage years, the challenges he faced, and the lessons he learned. His words were gentle and understanding, acknowledging the changes I was going through while offering support. Every night after that, there was a new letter waiting for me. Each one was different but always heartfelt. Sometimes he would write about his day, and other times he shared a quote or a piece of wisdom. He always ended with a note of encouragement, reminding me that I was loved and that he was there for me, no matter what happened. At first, I didn’t know how to respond. My initial reaction was to ignore the letters, but I couldn’t help feeling touched by his efforts. After a few days, I decided to write back. I poured my heart into that first letter, sharing my struggles, my fears, and my anxieties about high school. I told him how lonely I felt and the pressures from school and social life. To my surprise, my father responded with even more compassion (同情). He acknowledged my feelings and offered advice, but most importantly, he made me feel heard and understood. Our letters became a nightly habit. Through these written exchanges, I felt a sense of connection that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As our nightly exchange of letters continued, I began to notice some changes in our relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This newfound connection had a positive impact on other aspects of my life as well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
