For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Are you afraid of getting old? 1 _______ _______we get past the age of 25, many of us immediately feel the urge to stop the signs of ageing — especially the visible ones. Men and women are now using topical “anti-ageing” creams, spa treatments and medical procedures 2 (fight) many of them. 3 these methods can somewhat affect the way you look, ageing is an internal process. A new study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks. A group of scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that 4 _______ being a smooth, continuous process, ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life: first. at the age of 34, then at age 60, and finally at 78. The study, recently published in Nature Medicine, 5 (reveal) that scientists can not only predict your age by studying the proteome (protein levels in the blood) but also determine which organs are ageing faster than the others, and which age-related diseases your body is 6 (likely) to develop. The study measured plasma proteins (血浆蛋白) collected from 4,263 adults between the ages of 18-95 years and studied the changes in the proteome that occurred with age. Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues and age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s 7 _______ merapeutic treatments can be devised to oppose their attack while there’s still time. Dr Tony Wyss-Coray, one of the leading members of the study. told Stanford Medicine News Center, “We’ve known for a long time that 8 (measure) certain proteins can give you information about a person’s health status — lipoproteins (脂蛋白) for cardiovascular health, for example. But it hasn’t been appreciated that so many different proteins’ levels — roughly a third of all the ones we looked at —change markedly with advancing age.” This difference between the chronological and physiological age, according to the scientists’ “plasma-protein clock”, showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually were. What’s more, the study also confirmed that men and women, though equally 9 (represent) in the study; aged differently. Does this mean medications and lifestyle methods, with further research, can also be devised to help 10 ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer’s? You never know. 【答案】 1．As soon as 2．to fight 3．Though/Although/While 4．instead of 5．has revealed 6．more likely 7．so that 8．measuring 9．represented 10．whoever 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新的研究发现了人一生中衰老过程达到顶峰的确切时间以及如何测量衰老情况。 1．考查状语从句。句意：一旦过了25岁，我们中的许多人就会立即感到想要阻止衰老的迹象——尤其是那些看得见的迹象。引导时间状语从句，表示“一旦”应用as soon as，首字母大写。故填As soon as。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：男性和女性现在都在使用局部“抗衰老”面霜、水疗和医疗程序来对抗其中的许多衰老。短语use sth. to do sth.表示“用某物做某事”。故填to fight。 3．考查状语从句。句意：虽然这些方法会在一定程度上影响你的外表，但衰老是一个内在的过程。引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然”应用though或although或while，首字母大写。故填Though/Although/While。 4．考查固定短语。句意：斯坦福大学医学院的一组科学家发现，衰老不是一个平稳、连续的过程，而是在生命的三个不同阶段加速：首先是34岁，然后是60岁，最后是78岁。后跟动名词作宾语，此处表示“而不是”应用instead of。故填instead of。 5．考查时态。句意：这项发表在《自然医学》杂志上的研究表明，科学家不仅可以通过研究蛋白质组（血液中的蛋白质水平）来预测你的年龄，还可以确定哪些器官比其他器官衰老得更快，以及你的身体更容易患上哪些与年龄有关的疾病。此处表示过去发生的动作对现在产生影响应用现在完成时，主语为study，助动词用has。故填has revealed。 6．考查比较级。句意：这项发表在《自然医学》杂志上的研究表明，科学家不仅可以通过研究蛋白质组（血液中的蛋白质水平）来预测你的年龄，还可以确定哪些器官比其他器官衰老得更快，以及你的身体更容易患上哪些与年龄有关的疾病。根据上文organs are ageing faster than the others可知应用比较级，在前面加more。故填more likely。 7．考查状语从句。句意：他们的最终目标是了解如何识别与心血管问题和老年痴呆症等与年龄有关的疾病相关的变化，以便在还有时间的时候设计出治疗方法来对抗它们的攻击。引导目的状语从句，表示“以便”应用so that。故填so that。 8．考查非谓语动词。句意：我们早就知道，测量某些蛋白质可以提供一个人健康状况的信息——例如，用于心血管健康的脂蛋白。此处空处作从句的主语，应用动名词形式。故填measuring。 9．考查非谓语动词。句意：更重要的是，该研究还证实，男性和女性虽然在研究中占同等比例，但衰老年龄不同。此处为非谓语动词，且从句中主语men and women与represent构成被动关系，用过去分词。故填represented。 10．考查宾语从句。句意：这是否意味着，通过进一步的研究，药物和生活方式也可以被设计出来，帮助那些衰老过快、有患高血压和阿尔茨海默氏症等与年龄有关的疾病风险的人？引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，且表示“无论谁”应用whoever。故填whoever。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Second cities, third cities and lesser-visited destinations are getting more attention — and it’s all good news for travelers. This year, instead of sending out a list of hyped (被大肆宣传) destinations where people should go, thereby 12 overtourism, tour operator Intrepid instituted (制定) a “Not Hot” List, 13 less-popular destinations that deserve a spotlight. Their aim is to 14 the positive benefits of tourism to places that need it. It’s a good signpost for anyone planning their travel next year: instead of Argentina, South America’s most-visited country, they suggest the natural 15 and cultural experiences of Guyana, its least-visited country; rather than better-known Stockholm, it champions Oslo as one of the underdogs of the Scandinavian travel scene. The question is, do people want to ditch their travel dreams — the classic travel destinations — to go somewhere new? Place development and destination marketing specialist Samira Holma works with destinations from Brazil to Spain, with a particular 16 on sustainable tourism, and considers this a complicated issue. “For now, more people who’ve already been and are well-travelled will start to explore beyond, but many first-time visitors continue to go to the hotspots,” she says. “As slow travel becomes more common, people will add other stops to the itinerary that may be lesser known. But I still think it will take time until we see many first-time visitors 17 the most iconic places.” She also notes that different cultures have different travel habits and patterns. While European travelers show more openness to explore 18 places, she cites reports showing that travelers from markets like China and the UAE tend to be drawn to the classic bucket list experiences. So, what should you do when planning your next holiday? Jeremy Sampson, CEO of the Travel Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that tourism has a positive impact on destinations, has one piece of advice for individuals who want to be part of the 19 , not the problem. “I would encourage people to do some research and dig beneath the surface,” he says. “Gen-Z has a values-based decision-making process that is a good approach to copy. And think about it: if a place is 20 with people, is it going to be a good experience for locals? Is it going to be a good experience for you?” 【答案】 11．D 12．H 13．B 14．G 15．I 16．C 17．A 18．J 19．E 20．K 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了旅游业的再平衡，推荐游客前往较少人问津的目的地，以缓解热门景点的过度旅游问题。 11．考查名词。句意：虽然欧洲的一些地区一直在遭受旅游业带来的困扰，但其他地区正在营业，并且欣然接受游客的到来。根据空前的the可知，空处应用名词，trial符合题意，under the trial of“遭受……的困扰”。故选D。 12．考查非谓语动词。句意：今年，旅游公司Intrepid没有发布一份被大肆宣传的旅游目的地名单，从而助长了过度旅游，而是制定了一份“不热门”名单，突出了不太受欢迎的目的地。根据空前的thereby和空后的overtourism可知，空处应用动词fuel“加剧”的现在分词fueling，作状语。故选H。 13．考查非谓语动词。句意同上。根据空后的“less-popular destinations that deserve a spotlight”可知，空处应用动词highlight“突出”的现在分词highlighting，作状语。故选B。 14．考查动词。句意：他们的目标是将旅游业的积极影响带给那些需要它的地方。根据空前的不定式符号to可知，空处应用动词原形，用动词shift符合题意，shift...to...“将……转移到……”。故选G。 15．考查名词。句意：对于计划明年旅行的人来说，这是一个很好的指南：他们建议游客前往圭亚那这个游客最少的国家，体验那里的自然美景和文化，而不是去南美游客最多的国家阿根廷；他们建议游客去奥斯陆，而不是去更著名的斯德哥尔摩，奥斯陆是北欧旅游界不受重视的景点之一。根据空前的natural可知，空处应用名词wonder“奇迹，奇观”的复数形式wonders，与cultural experiences并列，作suggest的宾语，natural wonders“自然奇观”。故选I。 16．考查名词。句意：旅游开发和目的地营销专家萨米拉·霍尔马与从巴西到西班牙的目的地合作，特别关注可持续旅游，她认为这是一个复杂的问题。根据句意及空前的“a particular”可知，空处应用名词，作with的宾语，focus“关注”符合题意，with a particular focus on“特别关注”。故选C。 17．考查动词。句意：但我仍然认为，要等到我们看到许多首次出游的游客跳过最标志性的景点，还需要一段时间。空处应用动词原形，与see构成see sb. do sth结构，表示“看到某人做某事”，结合选项可知，skip符合题意，skip“跳过”，此处表示游客跳过最标志性的景点。故选A。 18．考查形容词。句意：虽然欧洲游客对探索陌生地方表现出更多的开放性，但她引用的报告显示，来自中国和阿联酋等市场的游客往往被经典的“人生必游”景点所吸引。根据空后的places可知，空处应用形容词，作定语，形容词underrated“低估”符合题意，underrated places“冷门景点”。故选J。 19．考查名词。句意：Travel Foundation是一家致力于确保旅游业对目的地产生积极影响的非营利组织，其首席执行官Jeremy Sampson对那些想成为解决方案的一部分而不是问题的一部分的人有一条建议。根据空前的“be part of the”可知，空处应用名词作of的宾语，结合选项可知，solution“解决方案”符合题意，be part of the solution“成为解决方案的一部分”。故选E。 20．考查动词。句意：想想看：如果一个地方挤满了人，对当地人来说会是一次好的体验吗？对你来说会是一次好的体验吗？此处表示“被……挤满”，choked符合题意，be choked with“被……挤满”。故选K。 II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When Alex Lin was 11, he read an article about electronic waste, or e-waste, and its harmful effects due to toxic substances like mercury (汞) and lead. Concerned, he discussed the issue with his classmates from the Westerly Innovations Network (WIN), an organization they formed to solve community problems. To address the e-waste issue, Alex and his friends began by educating themselves on the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They then conducted a survey to assess the situation in their town and discovered a significant lack of awareness about e-waste. Disturbed by their findings, including a case of a man dumping old computers in his backyard, they decided to act. They organized a two-day e-waste collection drive at a school parking lot, collecting over 21,000 pounds of e-waste. This included out-of-date computers from the school system. Alex’ team then set up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and found a reliable company to recycle the waste, ensuring it wouldn’t be shipped overseas where it could cause harm. Understanding that reusing is more efficient than recycling, Alex’s team also focused on refurbishing (翻新) old computers. They persuaded their school to teach students how to refurbish donated computers, and they distributed 260 computers to students in need, making a direct impact on their education and the environment. To create a lasting solution, Alex and his team advocated for e-waste legislation (立法). After initial setbacks, they successfully advocated for a bill that banned the dumping of e-waste, making Rhode Island the fourth state to create such legislation. This achievement marked a significant step in promoting safe treatment of e-waste. Recognizing e-waste as a global issue, Alex and his friends expanded their project internationally, establishing WIN teams in Mexico and three African countries. They shipped refurbished media centers to schools and centers in need, further spreading the message about safe e-waste disposal. 36．What made Alex and his team decide to take action on e-waste? A．Their desire to start a recycling business. B．The discovery of low awareness of e-waste. C．Pressure from the local environmental agency. D．Personal financial gain from collected e-waste. 37．How did Alex’s team promote reusing? A．They advocated for the use of smartphones. B．They started a campaign to buy new computers. C．They convinced the school to teach refurbishing. D．They distributed new computers to all students. 38．What might mainly contribute to Alex and his team’s success in dealing with e-waste? A．The strong support from local businesses. B．Their cooperation with recycling companies. C．The financial assistance from the government. D．Their raising awareness and acting locally and globally. 39．Which of the following can best describe Alex and his team? A．Athletic and artistic. B．Creative and Curious. C．Responsible and ambitious. D．Reliable and adventurous. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．D 39．C 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Alex Lin因为阅读了关于电子垃圾有害影响的文章，开始致力于解决电子垃圾问题。 36．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They then conducted a survey to assess the situation in their town and discovered a significant lack of awareness about e-waste. Disturbed by their findings, including a case of a man dumping old computers in his backyard, they decided to act.(然后他们进行了一项调查来评估他们所在城镇的情况，发现人们对电子垃圾的认识严重不足。他们对调查结果感到不安，包括一名男子在后院倾倒旧电脑的事情，他们决定采取行动。)”可知，Alex和他的团队发现当地人对电子垃圾的认识严重不足的情况后决定采取行动。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Understanding that reusing is more efficient than recycling, Alex’s team also focused on refurbishing (翻新) old computers. They persuaded their school to teach students how to refurbish donated computers, and they distributed 260 computers to students in need, making a direct impact on their education and the environment.(意识到再次利用比回收更加有效率，Alex的团队也专注于翻新旧电脑。他们说服学校教学生如何翻新捐赠的电脑，他们还向有需要的学生分发了260台电脑，对他们的教育和环境产生了直接的影响。)”可知，Alex的团队通过说服学校教学生翻新旧电脑来提高再次利用。故选C。 38．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Recognizing e-waste as a global issue, Alex and his friends expanded their project internationally, establishing WIN teams in Mexico and three African countries. They shipped refurbished media centers to schools and centers in need, further spreading the message about safe e-waste disposal.(认识到电子垃圾是一个全球性的问题，Alex和他的朋友们将他们的项目扩展到国际范围，在墨西哥和三个非洲国家建立了WIN团队。他们将翻新的媒体中心运送到有需要的学校和中心，进一步传播了处理电子垃圾的信息。)”可知，在处理电子级垃圾方面，Alex的团队在国外建立了WIN团队，从而进一步宣传电子垃圾的信息；通过他们的努力，提高了当地人电子垃圾的意识；并根据文章第三段“They organized a two-day e-waste collection drive at a school parking lot, collecting over 21,000 pounds of e-waste.(他们在学校停车场阻止了为期两坛的电子垃圾收集活动。)”可知，他们在当地采取行动。故他们传播电子垃圾的意识以及在当地和全球采取行动的行为有助于他们处理电子垃圾的成功。故选D。 39．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“To address the e-waste issue, Alex and his friends began by educating themselves on the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans.(为了解决电子垃圾的问题，Alex和他的朋友们开始自学电子垃圾中的化学物质及其对人类的影响。)”可知，Alex是一个有责任心的人，致力于解决电子垃圾；根据文章最后一段“Recognizing e-waste as a global issue, Alex and his friends expanded their project internationally, establishing WIN teams in Mexico and three African countries. They shipped refurbished media centers to schools and centers in need, further spreading the message about safe e-waste disposal.(认识到电子垃圾是一个全球性的问题，Alex和他的朋友们将他们的项目扩展到国际范围，在墨西哥和三个非洲国家建立了WIN团队。他们将翻新的媒体中心运送到有需要的学校和中心，进一步传播了处理电子垃圾的信息。)”可知，Alex还致力于将他们的项目扩展到国际范围，因此可推知他是一个有抱负的人。故选C。 (B) The Bridge Climb The iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the world's longest steel-arch bridges, spanning an impressive 500 metres and standing proud above the sparkling Sydney Harbour.

Additional individual or group photos are available for purchase.( 合影是在你们整个攀登团队的顶峰处拍摄的。额外的个人或团体照片可供购买。)”可知，在山顶的一张个人照片不能免费提供给攀登者。故选A项。 41．细节理解题。根据Please note:中“Climb rates and periods are subject to change at the discretion of BridgeClimb.( 攀登费用和攀登时间可由BridgeClimb自行决定。)”可知，在某些情况下，上述攀登费用和攀登时间可能会发生变化这项陈述是正确的。ABD项均与原文实意不符。故选C项。 42．细节理解题。根据Summit中“Your journey will take you along the very top of the iconic landmark, 134 metres above the harbour. This Climb suits everyone including families with kids who are confident scaling ladders along the route to reach the top.( 您的旅程将带您沿着标志性地标的顶部，距离海港134米。这个攀登适合每个人，包括有孩子的家庭，他们有信心沿着路线攀登梯子到达顶部。)”符合题干中描述的“一对夫妇带着他们的两个分别是12岁和16岁的孩子在桥顶欣赏日落”的要求，看日落应该在黄昏时间，该部分的标价为“Twilight: $374 Adult/$264 Child.(黄昏：成人374美元/儿童264美元)”，所以共需要374×2+264×2=1276美元。故选A项。 (C) Have you ever worried that you might smell bad? Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations. In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted (排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them. VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces (粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband’s smell 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson’s,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab (拭子) test to diagnose the illnesses. Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong. The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person’s age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.” So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device. 43．What do we know about the VOCs according to the text? A．Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions. B．The VOCs mostly come from sweat. C．VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status. D．Our body’s metabolic processes are the source of VOCs. 44．Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4? A．To show the amazing wisdom of animals. B．To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer. C．To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers. D．To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers. 45．What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs? A．Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases. B．Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs. C．Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases. D．Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs. 46．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Morin’s Contributions to VOCs B．The Function of Sweat in Our Health C．Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells D．Body Smell Resulting in Diseases 【答案】43．D 44．D 45．A 46．C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人体释放的VOCs与健康状况之间的关系，解释了这些化学物质的来源、它如何揭示健康信息，以及科研人员如何利用这些信息探索疾病诊断的可能性。 43．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic(新陈代谢)processes and are excreted(排泄)through skin glands. (这些挥发性有机化合物来源于人体的代谢过程，并通过皮肤腺体排出体外。)”可知，我们身体的代谢过程是这些发挥性有机化合物的来源。故选D。 44．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.(具有高级嗅觉的动物，如狗，已经证明它们可以检测出人类的各种癌症。虽然这些气味通常是人的鼻子无法察觉的，但它们提供了证据，表明我们的身体在出现问题时会发出不同的气味。)”可知，作者提到像狗这样的动物是为了强调VOCs作为疾病诊断标记的潜力，因为这些动物能够嗅出人类身上的不同疾病，说明VOCs确实携带了与健康相关的信息。故选D。 45．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device. (所以，谁知道呢——也许有一天我们可以通过对着一个设备呼吸来检测疾病。)”可知，未来可能产生的技术是能够分析VOCs来诊断疾病的设备。故选A。 46．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations. (人体每天向空气中释放数百种化合物，这些化合物揭示的不仅仅是我们的健康习惯；它们也可以表明我们的健康状况。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要围绕着人体释放的VOCs如何反映健康状况，并有可能成为疾病诊断的工具这一主题展开。因此合适的标题为“Detecting Diseases through Body Scents”。故选C。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．Reading magazines enables children to be exposed to various subjects. B．Instead, it is necessary to introduce their kids to a wide range of books as well as magazines. C．The benefits of reading magazine articles can be achieved through school activities. D．Children can pass a magazine on to a brother or sister when they finish reading it. E．However, reading magazines offers many benefits to young readers. F．The articles in magazines are generally short. Magazine Articles: More Valuable Than You May Think Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. They feel their kids’ reading abilities have been underestimated. 47 Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively writing style that can inspire them to read more. 48 So a child can finish reading an article without losing interest due to a short attention span (持续时间) . The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read, especially if it is a children’s publication. By allowing children to read magazines at an early age, parents are encouraging development of a useful skill. Magazines and newspapers provide adults with critical news. Getting into the habit of reading magazines as a child will develop the lifelong habit of reading news articles. 49 Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world view. Information is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable. Many publications cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to comprehend. When reading magazines together, family members get to learn about each other’s interest. 50 Once each family member has finished reading each magazine, parents can even design art and writing projects for the whole family to work on. All in all, magazines are valuable for many people, but in particular to children. The skills that they use and strengthen when reading magazines can be applied to further study. Encouraging children to read magazines could change them from a reluctant reader to a lover of reading. 【答案】47．E 48．F 49．A 50．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了阅读杂志对儿童的益处。文章从不同方面阐述了阅读杂志能激发孩子的阅读兴趣，培养他们的阅读技能，并帮助他们接触不同的主题和观点。 47．根据上文“Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. They feel their kids’ reading abilities have been underestimated.(当老师们建议孩子们读杂志时，家长们往往很惊讶。他们觉得孩子们的阅读能力被低估了。)”以及下文“Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively writing style that can inspire them to read more.(杂志文章可以为不喜欢读书的人提供一种生动的写作风格，可以激励他们读更多的书。)”可知，上文提到家长们觉得孩子们的阅读能力被低估了，下文则指出杂志文章能激励孩子们读更多的书，由此可知，空处应当是在指出读杂志对年轻读者有很多好处，E项“However, reading magazines offers many benefits to young readers.(然而，阅读杂志对年轻读者有许多好处)”符合语境，故选E项。 48．根据后文“So a child can finish reading an article without losing interest due to a short attention span (持续时间).(所以，一个孩子可以读完一篇文章，不会因为注意力持续时间短而失去兴趣。)”可知，空处应说明杂志文章的特点，指出孩子可以读完一篇文章，F项“The articles in magazines are generally short.(杂志中的文章通常很短)”说明杂志文章的特点促使孩子可以读完整篇文章，选项中short与后文“a short attention span”相呼应，符合语境，故选F项。 49．根据后文“Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world view. Information is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable.(杂志文章挑战学生思考他们可能从未考虑过的问题，或者促使他们重新思考自己的世界观。由于杂志面向各种可以想象的读者群体，因此提供的信息涵盖了广泛的阅读水平。)”可知，杂志可以将各种信息提供给各种阅读水平的读者，促使孩子思考，空处也应说明读杂志文章的好处，A项“Reading magazines enables children to be exposed to various subjects.(读杂志能让孩子们接触到各种各样的主题。)”符合语境，故选A项。 50．根据上文“When reading magazines together, family members get to learn about each other's interest.(当一起读杂志时，家庭成员们可以了解彼此的兴趣。)”以及后文“Once each family member has finished reading each magazine, parents can even design art and writing projects for the whole family to work on.(一旦每个家庭成员都读完了每本杂志，父母甚至可以为全家人设计艺术和写作项目。)”可知，上文提到家庭成员们一起读杂志，后文则指出每个家庭成员都读完了每本杂志之后可以设计艺术和写作项目，由此可知，空处应当是在说明杂志如何在家庭成员之间传递，D项“Children can pass a magazine on to a brother or sister when they finish reading it.(孩子们读完杂志后可以传给兄弟姐妹。)”符合语境，故选D项。 III.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Wilderness therapy When most people think of psychotherapy, they picture patients relaxing on a sofa and spilling all of their emotions. “Tell me about your childhood,” the therapist says, taking a drag of his cigar. In reality, therapy takes place in all kinds of settings. One of them is wilderness therapy. When the campsite is set up and the fire is lit, the doctor is in. Wilderness therapy is a successful, and sometimes controversial way to help troubled youth by teaching life and social skills on the hiking traits. Intensive group therapy and one-on-one sessions are coupled with outdoor activities like mountain climbing and fly-fishing to teach self-reliance and responsibility. Programs promise to reform even the most wayward of offenders, including teens with depression, anger management issues, or eating disorders. While wilderness therapy can be effective, certain methods have come under fire for using unethical, and sometimes downright abusive, techniques to help struggling youth. Wilderness programs are loosely regulated, so not all programs are staffed by qualified professionals. Upon closer examination, some “therapy” groups seemed to be just military-style boot camps with little mental health benefit. Even legal wilderness therapy groups have been criticized for partnering with teen escort (护送者) companies to forcibly remove unwilling participants from their homes to attend the program. While controversy and risk exist, wilderness therapy might be a creative way to teach life skills when other methods have failed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Wildness therapy is a kind of psychotherapy, which is a successful one with argument. It is aimed to reform youths in trouble by having them get involved in outdoor activities. It is criticized/blamed for some of its methods, lack of professional staff and not being mentally beneficial. However, it is a creative way to equip youths with life and social skills. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。野性疗法是一种心理治疗，是一种成功的有争议的心理治疗。它的目的是通过让青少年参与户外活动来改造陷入困境的青少年。人们批评它的一些方法，缺乏专业人员，对精神没有益处。然而，这是一种让年轻人掌握生活和社交技能的创造性方式。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Wilderness therapy is a successful, and sometimes controversial way to help troubled youth by teaching life and social skills on the hiking traits. ②Programs promise to reform even the most wayward of offenders, including teens with depression, anger management issues, or eating disorders. ③Wilderness programs are loosely regulated, so not all programs are staffed by qualified professionals.

I am writing to share my thoughts on the debate about whether practice makes perfect or excessive training stifles creativity. In my view, a balance is necessary. Practice does make perfect. Take my experience in playing basketball as an example. Initially, I struggled with shooting accurately. Through repeated practice, I developed muscle memory, improving my skills significantly. This shows that dedication and repetition are key to mastering any skill. However, too much training can limit creativity. When preparing for a school art competition, I found that sticking strictly to traditional methods resulted in mundane artwork. Once I allowed myself to experiment with different techniques and styles, my art became more original and engaging. This experience highlighted the importance of balancing discipline with creative freedom. In summary, while practice is essential for building skills, it is equally important to foster creativity to achieve excellence and innovation. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇文章就“有人说熟能生巧，也有人说过度训练会抑制人们的创造力”的说法发表自己的观点，并结合生活中的具体事例加以说明。 【详解】1.词汇积累 观点：view → opinion 导致：result in → lead to 允许：allow → permit 总之：in summary → in a word 2.句式拓展 句式升级 原句：Through repeated practice, I developed muscle memory, improving my skills significantly. 拓展句：It was through repeated practice that I developed muscle memory, improving my skills significantly. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I am writing to share my thoughts on the debate about whether practice makes perfect or excessive training stifles creativity.（运用了whether引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】When preparing for a school art competition, I found that sticking strictly to traditional methods resulted in mundane artwork.（运用了状语从句中的省略和动名词短语作主语以及that引导的宾语从句） ( 第 1 页 共 1 页 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年1月上海市春季高考英语仿真模拟试卷06 （口试部分） Test 6 SPEAKING Section A Directions: Read aloud the following two sentences.

The days at the camp were long and I had to get up at 6:30, and was not usually in bed before midnight. I often had no time to eat lunch, except perhaps for a sandwich. I taught swimming in the morning and basketball in the afternoon. I also spent my evenings with these children, playing games, watching videos and singing.

Q:What does the man imply? 10.M: Have you found out yet what hotel you will be staying in?I'm at the Gordon right across the street from the conference center. W: Huh, lucky you.I'm at the Apple Gates six miles away. Q: What does the woman mean? Questions 1l through 13 are based on the following passage. Anyone can learn to taste wine more analytically, without following professional critics. It is mostly a matter of leaning to identify elements in wine and to associate them with the relevant descriptive term. Because different people may have different initial understanding of a certain flavor,judges in wine-tasting experiments first smell physical samples such as blackberries so they agree on what "blackberry""Means. Judges then go into individual rooms,dimly lit with red light to make all wines appear the same color.A researcher slides a tray with numbered wines through the wall, and the judges rate them on a computer screen At home you can simplify this procedure and make it more fun. First, tell a group of friends to bring a particular variety of wine,such as Syrah. Your job,as host, is to find samples of flavors commonly found in Syrah: black pepper, blackberries, clove. Put each one in a glass.Once your guests are settled.pass around and smell the standards.Then taste each wine and see which flavors you recognize and how strongly. If you want help,consider the Aroma Wheel developed by Ann Noble. The center of the wheel establishes broad categories of flavors,such as fruity or spicy. Each category gets more refined toward the edge of the wheel: first fruity, then bery, then raspberry.Learning to experience the sensory world in more detail can make the hours a day we spend preparing and eating food a lot more enjoyable. Now listen again. Questions 11.What do judges in wine-tasting experiment first need to do? 12.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of the Aroma Wheel? 13. What is the passage mainly about? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Good morning,class. Before we begin today,I would like to address an issue that one of you reminded me of after the last lecture.As you may recall,last time I mentioned that Robert E.Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole.What I neglected to mention was the debate around Peary's pioneering accomplishment. In 1910, a committee of the national geographical society examined Commodore Peary's claim to have reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909 and found no reason to doubt him. This judgment was actually confirmed by a committee of the US congress in 1991. Nevertheless, Peary's claim was still surrounded by doubt.This was largely due to the competing claim of Doctor Frederic Cook who told the world he had reached the Pole four years earlier. Over the decades Peary was given the benefit of the doubt, but critics persisted in raising questions about the distances he claimed to have covered. So the Navigation Foundation spent an additional 12 months of exhaustive examination of documents relating to Peary's polar trip. The documents supported Peary's claims about the distances he covered. After also conducting an extensive computer analysis of photos taken by Peary at the pole, they concluded that Peary and his companions did in fact reach the near vicinity of the North Pole on April 6,1909. Now listen again. Questions 14. Why does the professor mention the debate surrounding Peary? 15. What did Doctor Cook maintain? 16. How did the experts determine that Peary did reach the North Pole? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W:H., Jim What are you doing? M: Oh,Hi,Linda.I'm working on a report on energy resources for my environmental science class. But I'm having trouble finding enough information. W; You know, we were talking about sources of fuel in my class today. M: Yeah? W:Prof. Collins. He is an authority on energy source.He was telling us about a new way of getting fuel oil from coal. M: I didn't know that was possible. W:He said something about coal being set on fire and burned with a mixture of steam and oxygen.This process produces a gas made up of hydrogen and carbon, the...hum, the basic elements of oil. M: And then they do something to change that gas to oil? W:Right. First,since coal contains fewer hydrogen atoms than oil, they have to add some extra hydrogen to the gas, Then impurities are washed out with a chemical called methanol.I think, before this gas is sent on to reactors where it's changed into oil. M: Since coal is so plentiful i guess it won't be long before this new type of oil is available all over the place, ah? W:I doubt it. Prof. Collins said something about the process not economical enough to use in this country.At any rate,you really ought to talk to him. He'll be able to help you more than I can and he's got office hours all afternoon today. M: Thanks. He's over in Anderson Hall, right? W: Right. Now listen again. Questions 17. What are the speakers mainly discussing? 18. How did the woman learn about the process she describes? 19.In the process described by the woman,why is the coal burned? 20.What does the woman mention as a disadvantage of the process she describes? That's the end of listening comprehension.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Are you afraid of getting old? 1 _______ _______we get past the age of 25, many of us immediately feel the urge to stop the signs of ageing — especially the visible ones. Men and women are now using topical “anti-ageing” creams, spa treatments and medical procedures 2 (fight) many of them. 3 these methods can somewhat affect the way you look, ageing is an internal process. A new study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks. A group of scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that 4 _______ being a smooth, continuous process, ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life: first. at the age of 34, then at age 60, and finally at 78. The study, recently published in Nature Medicine, 5 (reveal) that scientists can not only predict your age by studying the proteome (protein levels in the blood) but also determine which organs are ageing faster than the others, and which age-related diseases your body is 6 (likely) to develop. The study measured plasma proteins (血浆蛋白) collected from 4,263 adults between the ages of 18-95 years and studied the changes in the proteome that occurred with age. Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues and age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s 7 _______ merapeutic treatments can be devised to oppose their attack while there’s still time. Dr Tony Wyss-Coray, one of the leading members of the study. told Stanford Medicine News Center, “We’ve known for a long time that 8 (measure) certain proteins can give you information about a person’s health status — lipoproteins (脂蛋白) for cardiovascular health, for example. But it hasn’t been appreciated that so many different proteins’ levels — roughly a third of all the ones we looked at —change markedly with advancing age.” This difference between the chronological and physiological age, according to the scientists’ “plasma-protein clock”, showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually were. What’s more, the study also confirmed that men and women, though equally 9 (represent) in the study; aged differently. Does this mean medications and lifestyle methods, with further research, can also be devised to help 10 ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer’s?

Second cities, third cities and lesser-visited destinations are getting more attention — and it’s all good news for travelers. This year, instead of sending out a list of hyped (被大肆宣传) destinations where people should go, thereby 12 overtourism, tour operator Intrepid instituted (制定) a “Not Hot” List, 13 less-popular destinations that deserve a spotlight. Their aim is to 14 the positive benefits of tourism to places that need it. It’s a good signpost for anyone planning their travel next year: instead of Argentina, South America’s most-visited country, they suggest the natural 15 and cultural experiences of Guyana, its least-visited country; rather than better-known Stockholm, it champions Oslo as one of the underdogs of the Scandinavian travel scene. The question is, do people want to ditch their travel dreams — the classic travel destinations — to go somewhere new? Place development and destination marketing specialist Samira Holma works with destinations from Brazil to Spain, with a particular 16 on sustainable tourism, and considers this a complicated issue. “For now, more people who’ve already been and are well-travelled will start to explore beyond, but many first-time visitors continue to go to the hotspots,” she says. “As slow travel becomes more common, people will add other stops to the itinerary that may be lesser known. But I still think it will take time until we see many first-time visitors 17 the most iconic places.” She also notes that different cultures have different travel habits and patterns. While European travelers show more openness to explore 18 places, she cites reports showing that travelers from markets like China and the UAE tend to be drawn to the classic bucket list experiences. So, what should you do when planning your next holiday? Jeremy Sampson, CEO of the Travel Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that tourism has a positive impact on destinations, has one piece of advice for individuals who want to be part of the 19 , not the problem. “I would encourage people to do some research and dig beneath the surface,” he says. “Gen-Z has a values-based decision-making process that is a good approach to copy. And think about it: if a place is 20 with people, is it going to be a good experience for locals? Is it going to be a good experience for you?” II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context It was a foggy Thursday morning when animal services supervisor Josh Henderson received news of amass death. 395 migratory birds died after 21 into one office tower in Galveston, Texas. Henderson rushed to the spot, only to witness the horrifying scene of feathers from yellow and orange to blue and grey of the lifeless small-featured bodies. “It was awe-inspiring but 22 ,” says Henderson. Most of the bodies were warblers; small, bright, colorful birds that are particularly common in Texas. They had been on their homecoming spring migration, a legendary journey that takes them from 23 sites as far south as Mexico to nesting sites-as-far north as Canada. For birds, Texas is a major flyover state: approximately two billion birds fly through this “Lone Star” state in the spring. Along the route, a host of 24 exist, including bright city lights. Every year, between 365 million and one billion birds are thought to be killed in building collisions in the US. The scene of mass collision in Galveston was a 23-floor 25 called One Moody Plaza. As the tallest building in downtown Galveston, it had four corner spotlights 26 straight up in the sky and a glowing green halo of LED lights around the top. “Every tragedy, 27 , is also an opportunity to educate” Henderson 28 the birds. His team was able to save and help three birds recover. Besides, Houston Audubon, a bird conservation organization, which occupies the building, is taking action and 29 developing a science-based response. American National has 30 and is still following a policy of turning off their outer building spotlights and inner lights at night during the spring and fall migratory seasons. Workshops are also held in Galveston to 31 the community on migratory bird patterns in this area. Around 24 communities in Texas have 32 to follow this kind of Lights Out initiative. Chicago, Houston, Dallas, New York City and Atlanta are the cities where the threat to migrating birds is greatest 33 light pollution. And all these cities are also 34 the Lights Out campaign, according to Audubon’s records. Protecting birds is vital both for their own sake and for the wider ecosystem. However, their moving constantly presents special 35 for researchers and conservationists to take measures that are effective enough. Given this complex picture, widespread awareness and efficient enforcement are still the priorities. 21．A．collapsing B．crashing C．cracking D．conflicting 22．A．marvelous B．vivid C．tragic D．impressive 23．A．sheltering B．breeding C．sleeping D．wintering 24．A．hazards B．opportunities C．obstacles D．enemies 25．A．studio B．block C．skyscraper D．apartment 26．A．holding B．putting C．pointing D．turning 27．A．therefore B．moreover C．thus D．however 28．A．sorted B．abandoned C．removed D．preserved 29．A．optimistically B．actively C．reluctantly D．strictly 30．A．interrupted B．implemented C．interfered D．incorporated 31．A．educate B．warn C．punish D．encourage 32．A．approved B．anticipated C．agreed D．appealed 33．A．regardless of B．in spite of C．apart from D．in terms of 34．A．launching B．maintaining C．motivating D．initiating 35．A．requests B．barriers C．challenges D．perspectives Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When Alex Lin was 11, he read an article about electronic waste, or e-waste, and its harmful effects due to toxic substances like mercury (汞) and lead. Concerned, he discussed the issue with his classmates from the Westerly Innovations Network (WIN), an organization they formed to solve community problems. To address the e-waste issue, Alex and his friends began by educating themselves on the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They then conducted a survey to assess the situation in their town and discovered a significant lack of awareness about e-waste. Disturbed by their findings, including a case of a man dumping old computers in his backyard, they decided to act. They organized a two-day e-waste collection drive at a school parking lot, collecting over 21,000 pounds of e-waste. This included out-of-date computers from the school system. Alex’ team then set up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and found a reliable company to recycle the waste, ensuring it wouldn’t be shipped overseas where it could cause harm. Understanding that reusing is more efficient than recycling, Alex’s team also focused on refurbishing (翻新) old computers. They persuaded their school to teach students how to refurbish donated computers, and they distributed 260 computers to students in need, making a direct impact on their education and the environment. To create a lasting solution, Alex and his team advocated for e-waste legislation (立法). After initial setbacks, they successfully advocated for a bill that banned the dumping of e-waste, making Rhode Island the fourth state to create such legislation. This achievement marked a significant step in promoting safe treatment of e-waste. Recognizing e-waste as a global issue, Alex and his friends expanded their project internationally, establishing WIN teams in Mexico and three African countries. They shipped refurbished media centers to schools and centers in need, further spreading the message about safe e-waste disposal. 36．What made Alex and his team decide to take action on e-waste? A．Their desire to start a recycling business. B．The discovery of low awareness of e-waste. C．Pressure from the local environmental agency. D．Personal financial gain from collected e-waste. 37．How did Alex’s team promote reusing? A．They advocated for the use of smartphones. B．They started a campaign to buy new computers. C．They convinced the school to teach refurbishing. D．They distributed new computers to all students. 38．What might mainly contribute to Alex and his team’s success in dealing with e-waste? A．The strong support from local businesses. B．Their cooperation with recycling companies. C．The financial assistance from the government. D．Their raising awareness and acting locally and globally. 39．Which of the following can best describe Alex and his team? A．Athletic and artistic. B．Creative and Curious. C．Responsible and ambitious. D．Reliable and adventurous.

The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations. In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted (排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them. VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces (粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband’s smell 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson’s,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab (拭子) test to diagnose the illnesses. Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong. The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person’s age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.” So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device. 43．What do we know about the VOCs according to the text? A．Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions. B．The VOCs mostly come from sweat. C．VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status. D．Our body’s metabolic processes are the source of VOCs. 44．Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4? A．To show the amazing wisdom of animals. B．To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer. C．To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers. D．To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers. 45．What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs? A．Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases. B．Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs. C．Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases. D．Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs. 46．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Morin’s Contributions to VOCs B．The Function of Sweat in Our Health C．Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells D．Body Smell Resulting in Diseases Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．Reading magazines enables children to be exposed to various subjects. B．Instead, it is necessary to introduce their kids to a wide range of books as well as magazines. C．The benefits of reading magazine articles can be achieved through school activities. D．Children can pass a magazine on to a brother or sister when they finish reading it. E．However, reading magazines offers many benefits to young readers. F．The articles in magazines are generally short. Magazine Articles: More Valuable Than You May Think Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. They feel their kids’ reading abilities have been underestimated. 47 Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively writing style that can inspire them to read more. 48 So a child can finish reading an article without losing interest due to a short attention span (持续时间) . The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read, especially if it is a children’s publication. By allowing children to read magazines at an early age, parents are encouraging development of a useful skill. Magazines and newspapers provide adults with critical news. Getting into the habit of reading magazines as a child will develop the lifelong habit of reading news articles. 49 Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world view. Information is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable. Many publications cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to comprehend. When reading magazines together, family members get to learn about each other’s interest. 50 Once each family member has finished reading each magazine, parents can even design art and writing projects for the whole family to work on. All in all, magazines are valuable for many people, but in particular to children. The skills that they use and strengthen when reading magazines can be applied to further study. Encouraging children to read magazines could change them from a reluctant reader to a lover of reading. III.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Wilderness therapy When most people think of psychotherapy, they picture patients relaxing on a sofa and spilling all of their emotions. “Tell me about your childhood,” the therapist says, taking a drag of his cigar. In reality, therapy takes place in all kinds of settings. One of them is wilderness therapy. When the campsite is set up and the fire is lit, the doctor is in. Wilderness therapy is a successful, and sometimes controversial way to help troubled youth by teaching life and social skills on the hiking traits. Intensive group therapy and one-on-one sessions are coupled with outdoor activities like mountain climbing and fly-fishing to teach self-reliance and responsibility. Programs promise to reform even the most wayward of offenders, including teens with depression, anger management issues, or eating disorders. While wilderness therapy can be effective, certain methods have come under fire for using unethical, and sometimes downright abusive, techniques to help struggling youth. Wilderness programs are loosely regulated, so not all programs are staffed by qualified professionals. Upon closer examination, some “therapy” groups seemed to be just military-style boot camps with little mental health benefit.
