With your background you could find something better easily. M: But I think if I put a couple more years in, I could move up in the company. If I leave now, the time I spent will have been for nothing. W: If that’s how you feel about it, why would you want to stay? You really think being a manager would be any better? M: I hope so. Anyway, I don’t want to think about it any more. How about that game table of table tennis? W: Alright, but I should warn you, I’ve been practicing a lot. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. She is running the Budd Bench program. She got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at a summer camp in 2017. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled materials. So she gathered her community to collect bottle caps. She even got caps from people in Germany, the Netherlands and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1200 pounds of bottle caps. Sammie says the effort has helped her learn to acknowledge her shortcomings and take breaks when working on a big project. Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks around the country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.” 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Which fruit personality are you? In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences.When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种以水果命名的不同人格类型，包括苹果型、芒果型、柠檬型和香蕉型，并给出了与这些类型的人相处的建议。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mango部分中“Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers.( 芒果型的人热爱生活，一分钟都不能错过。他们喜欢多样化，因为他们容易分心，天生就是规则的破坏者)”和Lemon部分中“Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating. (柠檬型喜欢结构和秩序。他们是喜欢安全感和可预测性的担忧着。他们擅长发现计划中的漏洞。但是太多的规则也会令人沮丧)”可知，芒果型和柠檬型人格的人都不喜欢被太多的规则所束缚。故选D项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Banana部分中“Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive. (香蕉型的人喜欢和平，回避冲突。他们乐于回应他人的要求。然而，当他们过于迁就时，他们会被视为优柔寡断)”可知，香蕉型人格的人喜欢和平，乐于回应他人的要求，重视和谐关系。C项“Adam, a patient worker who prioritizes harmonious relationships.(Adam，一个有耐心的工人，把和谐关系放在首位)”中Adam重视和谐关系，所以他可能喜欢香蕉型人格。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，结合文章标题“Which fruit personality are you?(你是哪种水果性格的人)”可知，文章主要介绍了四种不同的人格类型及其特点，以及如何与这些类型的人相处，这属于心理学范畴的内容，所以本文可能在一本心理学杂志上找到。故选D项。 B For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary. But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age? “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As He often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently. “I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites. Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023, we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving. Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. Although we slept on the ground, I felt a peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life. 24. What can we learn about the author? A. She lacked work experience. B. She demanded higher salary. C. She was fired by the hospital. D. She didn’t perform well at work. 25. What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Deepen. B. Remove. C. Classify. D. Describe. 26. What did the fellow health educator suggest the author do? A. Reevaluate her situation and find solutions to the failure. B. Search for inner peace and get rid of the economic darkness. C. Change her attitude to difficult situations and look on the bright side. D. Stay positive and concentrate on health care education. 27. What lesson did the author learn from the villagers in Africa? A. Face up to the cruel reality of life. B. Owning more not necessarily adds to our happiness. C. Fortune favors those who use their judgement. D. Devoting to volunteering can gain a sense of achievement. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了虽然被医院解雇让作者很痛苦，但通过朋友建议的“相反思维”和非洲之行，作者学会了从失去中寻找积极面，体验到简单生活带来的满足和宁静。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. (我在这家医院工作了12年。有一天他们告诉我不再需要我了)”可知，作者被医院解雇了。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的末句“I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary. (我明白，用经验较少、薪水较低的人取代我是为了削减成本)”和表示转折的“But”可推知，虽然作者能明白医院的做法，但是这份明白无法消除解雇带来的被抛弃和无用感的痛苦，画线词意思应该是“消除，删除”，与Remove意思一致。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中这位健康教育工作者所说的话“No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss. (无论在什么情况下，都有相反的一面，有好处。我们的典型反应是把注意力集中在失去工作、婚姻、家庭甚至健康上。相反，演讲者告诉我们要集中精力寻找我们从失去中得到的东西。)”可知，她告诉作者凡事都有另一面，要寻找从失去中得到的东西。由此可知，她建议作者改变对困难处境的态度，看到光明的一面。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. (尽管村民们住在泥棚里，没有现代化的便利设施、自来水和卫生设施，但他们看起来很满足。他们经常笑着互相问候，他们真的很关心邻居)”和“Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. (相反，他们告诉我们，拥有的越少意味着担心的越少，为彼此腾出更多的时间和精力)”可知，非洲当地村民虽然物质资源匮乏，生活条件艰苦，但他们很满足，生活很快乐，让作者知道所拥有的少意味着所担心的也少。由此可知，作者从非洲村民那里学到了拥有更多不一定会增加我们的幸福。故选B项。 C A group of researchers examined a decade of responses to an online survey on morals, analyzing how these responses varied from season to season. Their results indicate that, at a population level, people are less likely to support more traditional moral values during summer and winter. The researchers relied on data from a website named YourMorals.org, which provides a “moral foundations questionnaire” allowing respondents to express their level of agreement or disagreement with various moral statements. The questions were based on moral foundations theory, aiming to understand why morality seems to follow similar patterns among people from diverse cultures. According to this theory, morality can be categorized into five foundational values — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. These values fall into two groups: individualizing values and binding values. Not all types of values exhibited a clear seasonal pattern. For example, individualizing values, which emphasize the morality of individual rights, showed little variation over time and did not follow a seasonal trend. In contrast, binding values — those that prioritize group needs, such as loyalty, respect for authority, and purity of tradition — followed a biannual (一年两次的) pattern. To gain deeper insights into their findings, the researchers also studied patterns in Google search results related to anxiety. They discovered that population-level anxiety also followed a seasonal cycle — peaking in spring and fall, suggesting a possible correlation (关联性). Spring and fall are generally considered the most enjoyable seasons, so an increase in anxiety during these times may come as a surprise. But it’s possible that increases in school and work-related changes during these times could play some role. They also suggest that anxiety may decrease in winter due to seasonal holidays, and in summer because of warmer weather and increased vegetation (植被). “We often perceive moral values as unchanging principles that we hold close,” says Professor Hohm. However, they are actually influenced by various factors that we may not notice. Understanding how this happens can help us better comprehend and plan for seasonal shifts. 28. Which of the following might not follow a seasonal trend? A. Purity of tradition. B. Fairness among people. C. Loyalty to one’s party. D. Respect for authority. 29. What might be a possible reason for people feeling more anxious in spring and fall? A. Frequent transition of weather. B. Heightened social events and gatherings. C. New challenges from school and work. D. Reduced availability of fresh produce. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Moral values remain constant over time. B. Planning is crucial in maintaining moral stability. C. The influence of morals on behavior is minimal. D. Moral changes can affect plan making. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Our moral values may change with the seasons. B. Anxiety is closely linked to external threats. C. Seasons influence our individualizing values. D. Individualizing values and binding values differ. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者对一项关于道德的在线调查的分析结果，发现人们的道德观念可能会随着季节的变化而变化。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to this theory, morality can be categorized into five foundational values — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. These values fall into two groups: individualizing values and binding values. (根据这一理论，道德可以分为五种基本观念——关心、公平、忠诚、权威和纯洁。这些观念分为两类：个体化观念和约束性观念)”和第三段“Not all types of values exhibited a clear seasonal pattern. For example, individualizing values, which emphasize the morality of individual rights, showed little variation over time and did not follow a seasonal trend. In contrast, binding values — those that prioritize group needs, such as loyalty, respect for authority, and purity of tradition — followed a biannual (一年两次的) pattern. (并非所有类型的观念都表现出明显的季节性模式。例如，强调个人权利的道德性的个性化观念，随着时间的推移几乎没有变化，也没有遵循季节性趋势。相比之下，具有约束力的观念——那些优先考虑群体需求的观念，如忠诚、尊重权威和传统的纯洁——遵循两年一次的模式)”可知，不同于忠诚、权威和纯洁，公平不属于优先考虑群体需求的约束性观念，而属于强调个人权利的道德性的个体化观念，它不遵循季节性趋势。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Spring and fall are generally considered the most enjoyable seasons, so an increase in anxiety during these times may come as a surprise. But it’s possible that increases in school and work-related changes during these times could play some role. (春天和秋天通常被认为是最令人愉快的季节，所以在这段时间里焦虑的增加可能会让人感到意外。但在这些时间里，学校和工作相关变化的增加可能会起到一些作用)”可知，人们在春季和秋季感到焦虑的一个可能原因是来自学校和工作的新挑战。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We often perceive moral values as unchanging principles that we hold close,” says Professor Hohm. However, they are actually influenced by various factors that we may not notice. Understanding how this happens can help us better comprehend and plan for seasonal shifts. (“我们通常认为道德观念是我们所坚守的不变的原则，”Hohm教授说。然而，它们实际上受到我们可能没有注意到的各种因素的影响。了解这是如何发生的，可以帮助我们更好地理解和计划季节变化)”可知，了解道德观念如何受到各种因素的影响可以帮助我们更好地理解和规划季节性的变化。由此可知，道德变化会影响计划的制定。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A group of researchers examined a decade of responses to an online survey on morals, analyzing how these responses varied from season to season. Their results indicate that, at a population level, people are less likely to support more traditional moral values during summer and winter. (一组研究人员调查了十年来对一项关于道德在线调查的回应，分析了这些回应在不同季节的变化。他们的研究结果表明，在人口水平上，人们在夏天和冬天不太可能支持更传统的道德观念)”可知，文章主要介绍了研究者对一项关于道德的在线调查的分析结果，发现人们的道德观念可能会随着季节的变化而变化。因此，A项“我们的道德观念可能会随着季节而变化”是文章主旨；B项与文章主旨关系不大，C项只涉及了文章中的一部分内容，D项虽然提到了文章中的两个概念，但并不是文章的主要焦点。故选A项。 D A recent investigation has uncovered that a prehistoric marine mammal, known as the sea cow, fell Prey (猎物) to two distinct predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark. This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the complex food webs that existed millions of years ago. Conducted by an international group of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, the research reveals one of the scarce instances where a single target was hunted by multiple predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was initially targeted by a crocodile. Subsequent evidence suggests that after the initial attack, a tiger shark scavenged (觅食) the remains of the sea cow, with one of its teeth found near the unfortunate creature’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, the lead researcher. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We conducted field experiments where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” This discovery is particularly noteworthy as it contributes to the limited fossil evidence of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. While such interactions are commonplace in modern ecosystems, they are seldom documented in the fossil record. Therefore, this finding serves as a crucial piece in the puzzle of understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain,” Benites-Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate deeper and ultimately uncover the sea cow fossils. 32. What can we learn about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It occupied the top of food chains. B. It was believed to possess complex dental structures. C. It was targeted by two different creatures. D. It belonged to a species threatened with extinction. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal battles. B. The risk associated with the experiments. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The method of the research. 34. What is the significance of this study? A. It questions the current ecological systems. B. It provides valuable insights into ancient food webs. C. It corrects misconceptions about sea cows. D. It establishes the connection between humans and nature. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Research Inspired by the Batman Movie B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. A Farmer’s Significant Biological Discovery D. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A recent investigation has uncovered that a prehistoric marine mammal, known as the sea cow, fell Prey (猎物) to two distinct predators (捕食动物)—an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark. This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the complex food webs that existed millions of years ago.( 最近的一项调查发现，一种被称为海牛的史前海洋哺乳动物成为了两种截然不同的捕食者——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨的猎物。这一发现让我们得以一窥数百万年前存在的复杂食物网。)”可知，关于史前海牛，我们能了解到它被两种不同的生物捕食，是两种不同动物的攻击目标。故选C项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, the lead researcher. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We conducted field experiments where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”(‘你看过蝙蝠侠电影吗？有一个场景，他和阿尔弗雷德正在射击子弹，试图找出他们试图找到的特定类型的子弹，’首席研究员贝尼特斯-帕洛米诺说：‘我们的研究是以完全相同的方式进行的。我们进行了实地实验，在那里捕食者正在攻击他们的猎物，然后我们试图比较哪个是我们在那里发现的最佳场景。’)”可知，第三段主要介绍了研究的方法。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This discovery is particularly noteworthy as it contributes to the limited fossil evidence of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. While such interactions are commonplace in modern ecosystems, they are seldom documented in the fossil record. Therefore, this finding serves as a crucial piece in the puzzle of understanding ancient food webs.( 这一发现特别值得注意，因为它为多个捕食者与单个猎物相互作用的有限化石证据做出了贡献。虽然这种相互作用在现代生态系统中很常见，但化石记录中很少有记录。因此，这一发现是理解古代食物网的关键一环。)”可推知，这项研究的意义是它提供了对古代食物网有价值的见解。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“A recent investigation has uncovered that a prehistoric marine mammal, known as the sea cow, fell Prey (猎物) to two distinct predators (捕食动物)—an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark. This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the complex food webs that existed millions of years ago.( 最近的一项调查发现，一种被称为海牛的史前海洋哺乳动物成为了两种截然不同的捕食者——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨的猎物。这一发现让我们得以一窥数百万年前存在的复杂食物网。)”可知，本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。选项D“鲨鱼和鳄鱼吃了不幸的海牛”直接反映了文章的核心内容，即海牛被鲨鱼和鳄鱼捕食的情况，因此是最佳标题。故选D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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Human activities have made global rainfall more unstable over the past century, a new study suggests. ___36___ Published Friday in the journal Science, it shows that rainfall variability has increased since the 20th century, ranging from global to regional scales and from daily to seasonal. Rainfall variability refers to the unevenness of rainfall timing and rainfall amount. ___37___ For example, some places may receive a year’s rainfall in just a few days, experience downpours after long dry periods, or rapidly change between droughts and floods. By analyzing a wide range of observational data, the researchers found that rainfall variability has increased by about 75% since the 20th century across the land areas studied, especially in Europe, Australia and eastern North America. ___38___ ___39___ They identified the dominant role of anthropogenic (人为的) emissions of greenhouse gases. “The increase in rainfall variability is mainly due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which have led to a warmer and more humid atmosphere,” said Wenxia Zhang, lead author of the study. This means that even if the atmospheric circulation remains unchanged, the extra moisture in the air will lead to more intense rainfall events. Large and rapid fluctuations (波动) between extreme climates not only challenge the existing capabilities of contemporary weather and climate prediction systems, but also have chain effects on human society, threatening the economic development, ecosystem functions and terrestrial carbon sinks. ___40___ A. Higher variability may bring more rain in a certain region. B. Immediate adaptation measures are crucial to meet these challenges. C. The study indicates that global rainfall will still increase in the next century. D. To understand the causes of increased rainfall variability, the team furthered the research. E. It was also found that daily variability in global rainfall has increased by 1.2% per decade. F. The study was conducted by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. G. Higher variability means that rainfall is more unevenly distributed over a period of time, leading to wet and dry periods. 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究，该研究表明人类活动导致过去一个世纪全球降雨变得更加不稳定，并分析了降雨变异性的增加及其原因，最后指出了这一变化对人类社会构成的挑战及应对措施。 【36题详解】 上文“Human activities have made global rainfall more unstable over the past century, a new study suggests.(一项新的研究表明，人类活动使过去一个世纪的全球降雨变得更加不稳定)”引出话题，即一项关于全球降雨不稳定性的新研究。F选项“The study was conducted by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.(这项研究是由中国科学院大气物理研究所的研究人员进行的)”介绍研究的实施者，与上文话题相关，且“the study”指代上文提到的“新研究”，为下文具体介绍研究内容做铺垫。故选F项。 【37题详解】 上文“Rainfall variability refers to the unevenness of rainfall timing and rainfall amount.(降雨变异性指的是降雨时间和降雨量的不均匀性)”解释了“降雨变异性”的含义。G选项“Higher variability means that rainfall is more unevenly distributed over a period of time, leading to wet and dry periods.(更高的变异性意味着在一段时间内降雨分布更加不均匀，导致干湿期交替)”进一步解释“降雨变异性高”会带来什么结果，即降雨分布不均，导致干湿期交替，与上文构成逻辑上的递进关系。故选G项。 【38题详解】 上文“By analyzing a wide range of observational data, the researchers found that rainfall variability has increased by about 75% since the 20th century across the land areas studied, especially in Europe, Australia and eastern North America.(通过分析广泛的观测数据，研究人员发现，自20世纪以来，在研究区域的陆地上，尤其是欧洲、澳大利亚和北美洲东部，降雨变异性增加了约75%)”给出了关于降雨变异性增加的具体数据。E选项“It was also found that daily variability in global rainfall has increased by 1.2% per decade.(研究还发现，全球日降雨变异性每十年增加1.2%)”继续给出关于全球日降雨变异性的具体数据，与上文内容紧密相关，且“also found”表明这是另一项相关发现，丰富了研究内容。故选E项。 【39题详解】 下文“They identified the dominant role of anthropogenic (人为的) emissions of greenhouse gases.(他们确定了人为温室气体排放的主导作用)”指出研究团队确定了人为温室气体排放是导致降雨变异性增加的主要原因。D选项“To understand the causes of increased rainfall variability, the team furthered the research.(为了了解降雨变异性增加的原因，研究团队进一步研究了这个问题)”说明研究团队为了找出原因而进一步研究了这个问题，引出下文中的研究结论，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【40题详解】 上文“Large and rapid fluctuations (波动) between extreme climates not only challenge the existing capabilities of contemporary weather and climate prediction systems, but also have chain effects on human society, threatening the economic development, ecosystem functions and terrestrial carbon sinks.(极端气候之间的大幅度快速波动不仅挑战了当代天气和气候预测系统的现有能力，而且对人类社会产生了连锁效应，威胁到经济发展、生态系统功能和陆地碳汇)”指出了降雨变异性增加对人类社会构成的挑战。B选项“Immediate adaptation measures are crucial to meet these challenges.(立即采取适应措施对于应对这些挑战至关重要)”承接上文，提出应立即采取适应措施来应对这些挑战，上下文语意连贯。故选B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。 Michael Surrell and his wife had just parked the car when they got a call from their daughter: “The house next door is on fire!” He instantly went to ___41___ and saw an old woman crying. “The baby is inside!” “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman’s ___42___.

Jasper didn’t appear bothered by Gabriel’s smaller height for his age. However, on the school’s opening day, while having lunch with the rest of the fifth-grade boys, including Adrian, Adrian asked when Jasper had started playing with babies, which made Gabriel feel uneasy. A few weeks passed, and Jasper invited Gabriel to his birthday party held at his grandfather’s farm. Initially, Gabriel hesitated, preferring to spend the day running, as it allowed him to escape his school troubles and the fact that he was the smallest in his class. Nonetheless, this Saturday, Gabriel ended up at the farm with Adrian. Jasper’s mother suggested that Jasper show the boys around, so Jasper asked his grandfather, Mr. Hamilton, to drive them to the foot of a hill. After Mr. Hamilton went back to prepare for the party, the boys decided to explore a cave, exit through a hole at the top, climb the hill, and then return via hiking. The entrance to the cave was a big stone room with large wooden pillars (柱子) supporting the doorway. Roughly thirty feet inside, a wall of rocks blocked further entrance. Light from a hole in the ceiling shone on the back wall. Jasper began showing how to climb up the back wall to the boys. “Let me go first,” Adrian demanded, grabbing Jasper’s belt, pulling him off the rock, and throwing him onto the ground. “Watch out!” Gabriel exclaimed, but it was already too late. Jasper collided with a pillar hard, causing the wood to crack. Moments later, the pillar fell, and part of the ceiling collapsed. Dust filled the air. Once the dust settled, the boys found themselves trapped inside the cave, with the only exit being the hole in the ceiling, which had narrowed to an impassable size. To make matters worse, water began flowing into the cave. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gabriel looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Out of breath, Gabriel finally saw the farmhouse. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Gabriel looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out.” Volunteering to have a try, he climbed slowly up the back wall. He curled his body to such an extreme extent that he ultimately managed to come out of the hole. No sooner had Gabriel reached the top than he headed off to the farmhouse without hesitation. With those panicked faces and flowing water in mind, he couldn’t help quickening his pace. It was his regular running that enabled him to make a mad dash to the farmhouse despite fatigue and concern. Out of breath, Gabriel finally saw the farmhouse. “Mr. Hamilton! Hurry! Jasper and Adrian are trapped in the cave.” On hearing that, Mr. Hamilton left for the cave immediately with Jasper’s mom. The moment they reached the spot, they set out to clear the small opening and eventually pulled the boys out. Luckily, no one was hurt. Adrian approached Gabriel and said “I sincerely apologize for making fun of you.

In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences.When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.

I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary. But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age? “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As He often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently. “I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites. Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023, we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving. Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. Although we slept on the ground, I felt a peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life. 24. What can we learn about the author? A. She lacked work experience. B. She demanded higher salary. C. She was fired by the hospital. D. She didn’t perform well at work. 25. What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Deepen. B. Remove. C. Classify. D. Describe. 26. What did the fellow health educator suggest the author do? A. Reevaluate her situation and find solutions to the failure. B. Search for inner peace and get rid of the economic darkness. C. Change her attitude to difficult situations and look on the bright side. D. Stay positive and concentrate on health care education. 27. What lesson did the author learn from the villagers in Africa? A. Face up to the cruel reality of life. B. Owning more not necessarily adds to our happiness. C. Fortune favors those who use their judgement. D. Devoting to volunteering can gain a sense of achievement. C A group of researchers examined a decade of responses to an online survey on morals, analyzing how these responses varied from season to season. Their results indicate that, at a population level, people are less likely to support more traditional moral values during summer and winter. The researchers relied on data from a website named YourMorals.org, which provides a “moral foundations questionnaire” allowing respondents to express their level of agreement or disagreement with various moral statements. The questions were based on moral foundations theory, aiming to understand why morality seems to follow similar patterns among people from diverse cultures. According to this theory, morality can be categorized into five foundational values — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. These values fall into two groups: individualizing values and binding values. Not all types of values exhibited a clear seasonal pattern. For example, individualizing values, which emphasize the morality of individual rights, showed little variation over time and did not follow a seasonal trend. In contrast, binding values — those that prioritize group needs, such as loyalty, respect for authority, and purity of tradition — followed a biannual (一年两次的) pattern. To gain deeper insights into their findings, the researchers also studied patterns in Google search results related to anxiety. They discovered that population-level anxiety also followed a seasonal cycle — peaking in spring and fall, suggesting a possible correlation (关联性). Spring and fall are generally considered the most enjoyable seasons, so an increase in anxiety during these times may come as a surprise. But it’s possible that increases in school and work-related changes during these times could play some role. They also suggest that anxiety may decrease in winter due to seasonal holidays, and in summer because of warmer weather and increased vegetation (植被). “We often perceive moral values as unchanging principles that we hold close,” says Professor Hohm. However, they are actually influenced by various factors that we may not notice. Understanding how this happens can help us better comprehend and plan for seasonal shifts. 28. Which of the following might not follow a seasonal trend? A. Purity of tradition. B. Fairness among people. C. Loyalty to one’s party. D. Respect for authority. 29. What might be a possible reason for people feeling more anxious in spring and fall? A. Frequent transition of weather. B. Heightened social events and gatherings. C. New challenges from school and work. D. Reduced availability of fresh produce. 30 What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Moral values remain constant over time. B. Planning is crucial in maintaining moral stability. C. The influence of morals on behavior is minimal. D. Moral changes can affect plan making. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Our moral values may change with the seasons. B. Anxiety is closely linked to external threats. C. Seasons influence our individualizing values. D. Individualizing values and binding values differ. D A recent investigation has uncovered that a prehistoric marine mammal, known as the sea cow, fell Prey (猎物) to two distinct predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark. This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the complex food webs that existed millions of years ago. Conducted by an international group of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, the research reveals one of the scarce instances where a single target was hunted by multiple predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was initially targeted by a crocodile. Subsequent evidence suggests that after the initial attack, a tiger shark scavenged (觅食) the remains of the sea cow, with one of its teeth found near the unfortunate creature’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, the lead researcher. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We conducted field experiments where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” This discovery is particularly noteworthy as it contributes to the limited fossil evidence of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. While such interactions are commonplace in modern ecosystems, they are seldom documented in the fossil record. Therefore, this finding serves as a crucial piece in the puzzle of understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain,” Benites-Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate deeper and ultimately uncover the sea cow fossils. 32. What can we learn about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It occupied the top of food chains. B. It was believed to possess complex dental structures. C. It was targeted by two different creatures. D. It belonged to a species threatened with extinction. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal battles. B. The risk associated with the experiments. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The method of the research. 34. What is the significance of this study? A. It questions the current ecological systems. B. It provides valuable insights into ancient food webs. C. It corrects misconceptions about sea cows. D. It establishes the connection between humans and nature. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Research Inspired by the Batman Movie B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. A Farmer’s Significant Biological Discovery D. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Human activities have made global rainfall more unstable over the past century, a new study suggests. ___36___ Published Friday in the journal Science, it shows that rainfall variability has increased since the 20th century, ranging from global to regional scales and from daily to seasonal. Rainfall variability refers to the unevenness of rainfall timing and rainfall amount. ___37___ For example, some places may receive a year’s rainfall in just a few days, experience downpours after long dry periods, or rapidly change between droughts and floods. By analyzing a wide range of observational data, the researchers found that rainfall variability has increased by about 75% since the 20th century across the land areas studied, especially in Europe, Australia and eastern North America. ___38___ ___39___ They identified the dominant role of anthropogenic (人为的) emissions of greenhouse gases. “The increase in rainfall variability is mainly due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which have led to a warmer and more humid atmosphere,” said Wenxia Zhang, lead author of the study. This means that even if the atmospheric circulation remains unchanged, the extra moisture in the air will lead to more intense rainfall events. Large and rapid fluctuations (波动) between extreme climates not only challenge the existing capabilities of contemporary weather and climate prediction systems, but also have chain effects on human society, threatening the economic development, ecosystem functions and terrestrial carbon sinks. ___40___ A. Higher variability may bring more rain in a certain region. B. Immediate adaptation measures are crucial to meet these challenges. C. The study indicates that global rainfall will still increase in the next century. D. To understand the causes of increased rainfall variability, the team furthered the research. E. It was also found that daily variability in global rainfall has increased by 1.2% per decade. F. The study was conducted by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. G. Higher variability means that rainfall is more unevenly distributed over a period of time, leading to wet and dry periods. 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。 Michael Surrell and his wife had just parked the car when they got a call from their daughter: “The house next door is on fire!” He instantly went to ___41___ and saw an old woman crying. “The baby is inside!” “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman’s ___42___.

Jasper didn’t appear bothered by Gabriel’s smaller height for his age. However, on the school’s opening day, while having lunch with the rest of the fifth-grade boys, including Adrian, Adrian asked when Jasper had started playing with babies, which made Gabriel feel uneasy. A few weeks passed, and Jasper invited Gabriel to his birthday party held at his grandfather’s farm. Initially, Gabriel hesitated, preferring to spend the day running, as it allowed him to escape his school troubles and the fact that he was the smallest in his class. Nonetheless, this Saturday, Gabriel ended up at the farm with Adrian. Jasper’s mother suggested that Jasper show the boys around, so Jasper asked his grandfather, Mr. Hamilton, to drive them to the foot of a hill. After Mr. Hamilton went back to prepare for the party, the boys decided to explore a cave, exit through a hole at the top, climb the hill, and then return via hiking. The entrance to the cave was a big stone room with large wooden pillars (柱子) supporting the doorway. Roughly thirty feet inside, a wall of rocks blocked further entrance. Light from a hole in the ceiling shone on the back wall. Jasper began showing how to climb up the back wall to the boys. “Let me go first,” Adrian demanded, grabbing Jasper’s belt, pulling him off the rock, and throwing him onto the ground. “Watch out!” Gabriel exclaimed, but it was already too late. Jasper collided with a pillar hard, causing the wood to crack. Moments later, the pillar fell, and part of the ceiling collapsed. Dust filled the air. Once the dust settled, the boys found themselves trapped inside the cave, with the only exit being the hole in the ceiling, which had narrowed to an impassable size. To make matters worse, water began flowing into the cave. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gabriel looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Out of breath, Gabriel finally saw the farmhouse. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
