His first post explored the use of English font (字体) on Hong Kong’s road signs. “That post surprisingly received many likes and shares, so it got me thinking about expanding my audience,” he recalled. In 2016, the enthusiast collected 50 Chinese characters from Hong Kong’ s road signs and outlined and uploaded the image to his Facebook account. A friend suggested turning this collection into a font. Yau saw it as a means to preserve a cherished aspect of Hong Kong’s history. About twenty years ago, many of the city’s signs featured handcrafted characters made by prisoners. However, as design technology advances, these traditional signs are gradually being replaced, Following, visits to the remaining traditional road signs in the city, Yau’ s team had outlined approximately 500 characters. Yet, this fell short of the 7, 000 Chinese characters required for practical use by those who use Chinese daily. Faced with this limitation, the team began creating new characters by mixing and matching existing components, adjusting line thickness, and modifying radicals (部首) . For instance, when they couldn’t locate the Chinese character for “prison” on any existing signs, they designed one from scratch. This process involved extensive trial and error. After six years of dedicated effort, Yau found motivation in the constant enthusiasm of his followers. “They‘ve been eagerly anticipating this project for as long as I‘ve been working on it,” he remarked. “One even expressed that he had been waiting for this font since his first year of secondary school. Now, as a sixth grader, his wait is finally over. Yau is thrilled to witness how his followers will use this digital font. “I cannot own a road sign, but what I can do is digitize it,” Yau said. “I did not want to just document it but develop it into something we can use in daily life. This is a way to preserve Hong Kong’s visual cultural memory.” 4. What inspired Yau to design a font? A. His interest in road signs. B. His popularity with his fans. C. His desire to restore history. D. His passion for city planning. 5. Why did Yau’s team create new characters? A. To combine the components. B. To meet the need of daily use. C. To set limitation to the characters. D. To replace the traditional road signs. 6. Why did the writer mention Yau’s followers? A. To highlight their dedicated effort. B. To show their support to the project. C. To explain their role in digitizing the font. D. To indicate their passion to share his posts. 7. Which of the following can best describe Yau? A. Practical and efficient. B. Confident and resourceful. C. Determined and innovative. D. Ambitious and competitive. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Gary Yau如何从一个对道路和城市规划感兴趣的大学生，通过创建社交媒体页面分享有关道路和城市规划的有趣事实，最终发展到创建并数字化香港传统路牌字体的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2016, the enthusiast collected 50 Chinese characters from Hong Kong’ s road signs and outlined and uploaded the image to his Facebook account. A friend suggested turning this collection into a font. Yau saw it as a means to preserve a cherished aspect of Hong Kong’s history. About twenty years ago, many of the city’s signs featured handcrafted characters made by prisoners. However, as design technology advances, these traditional signs are gradually being replaced,(2016年，这位爱好者从香港的路标中收集了50个汉字，并将其勾勒出来并上传到他的Facebook账户上。一位朋友建议把这些收藏变成一种字体。Yau认为这是保存香港珍贵历史的一种方式。大约20年前，这座城市的许多标志都是由囚犯手工制作的。然而，随着设计技术的进步，这些传统的标识正在逐渐被取代)”可知，他的灵感来源于对历史的恢复和保护。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Following, visits to the remaining traditional road signs in the city, Yau’ s team had outlined approximately 500 characters. Yet, this fell short of the 7, 000 Chinese characters required for practical use by those who use Chinese daily. Faced with this limitation, the team began creating new characters by mixing and matching existing components, adjusting line thickness, and modifying radicals (部首) .(在参观了这座城市现存的传统路标之后，Yau的团队勾勒出了大约500个汉字。然而，对于那些日常使用中文的人来说，这还达不到实际使用所需的7000个汉字。面对这一限制，团队开始通过混合和匹配现有组件，调整线条粗细和修改偏旁来创造新的字符)”可知，他们开始创造新的字符以满足日常使用的需要。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After six years of dedicated effort, Yau found motivation in the constant enthusiasm of his followers. “They‘ve been eagerly anticipating this project for as long as I‘ve been working on it,” he remarked. “One even expressed that he had been waiting for this font since his first year of secondary school. Now, as a sixth grader, his wait is finally over.(经过六年的努力，Yau在他的追随者们持续的热情中找到了动力。他说：“自从我参与这个项目以来，他们就一直热切期待着这个项目。”有人甚至表示，他从中学一年级开始就一直在等待这个字体。现在，作为一名六年级学生，他的等待终于结束了)”可知，Yau从粉丝们的热情中找到了动力，这表明作者提到Yau的粉丝是为了展示他们对这个项目的支持。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After six years of dedicated effort, Yau found motivation in the constant enthusiasm of his followers.(经过六年的努力，Yau在他的追随者们持续的热情中找到了动力)”可知，这个项目Yau做了六年，说明他是坚定的，再根据第三段“Following, visits to the remaining traditional road signs in the city, Yau’ s team had outlined approximately 500 characters. Yet, this fell short of the 7, 000 Chinese characters required for practical use by those who use Chinese daily. Faced with this limitation, the team began creating new characters by mixing and matching existing components, adjusting line thickness, and modifying radicals (部首) .(在参观了这座城市现存的传统路标之后，Yau的团队勾勒出了大约500个汉字。然而，对于那些日常使用中文的人来说，这还达不到实际使用所需的7000个汉字。面对这一限制，团队开始通过混合和匹配现有组件，调整线条粗细和修改偏旁来创造新的字符)”可知，在面临字符数量不足的限制时，他和他的团队通过混合和匹配现有组件、调整线条粗细和修改部首来创造新的字符，说明他是有创新能力的。故选C项。 C The field of anti-ageing medicine has exploded in recent years due to discoveries about the fundamental biology of ageing which are translated into experimental therapies (疗法) . The latest fountain of youth to pour from the lab comes in the form of vaccines (疫苗) against age-related conditions— cancer, heart disease, dementia and more. The first of these could be available by the end of the decade. All-purpose anti-ageing injections are also in development. The upsides of such vaccines are clear. Anything that limits the impact of age-related conditions on people who live into old age—not to mention on the loved ones who often end up caring for them—has to be welcomed. They also promise to lessen effect on the increasingly societal and economic costs of these diseases. But as with all anti-ageing interventions, there are potential downsides too. If millions of people live significantly longer, we risk a population explosion on a planet whose resources are already overstretched. If the vaccines merely delay the beginning of age-related conditions, they will only postpone the burden on people and society. And as Nobel prizewinner Venki Ramakrishnan told us earlier this year. a long-lived society is likely to be an unmoving one. These are familiar fears. The common answer is that the goal is increased healthspan. That means people living for longer, free from the diseases of old age, then suddenly declining and dying. We won’t know the-outcome until: the therapies have been widely used, at which point it will be too late to put the genie back in the bottle. But there is really no turning back anyway. If vaccines and other anti-ageing therapies work and are affordable, they will be used. Besides, nobody would argue that innovations like antibiotics, vaccines and advanced diagnostics were a bad idea even though they marked the beginning of our era of age-related diseases. Similarly, we shouldn’t fear life-saving medical advances on the basis of unintended consequences. If we can make lies longer and less painful, the downsides are a price worth paying. 8. Why is the field of anti-ageing medicine growing rapidly? A. The biology of ageing is better applied. B. The trend of healthy lifestyle is rising. C. The demand for longer life is increasing. D. The number of elderly is rising globally. 9. How do anti-ageing vaccines benefit society? A. By increasing the workforce. B. By curing people of diseases. C. By boosting economic growth. D. By reducing healthcare expense. 10. What does the underlined phrase “put the genie back in the bottle” mean? A. To stop the process of ageing. B. To erase the impact of the therapies. C. To create a new medical breakthrough. D. To delay the development of technology. 11. What is the best title for this article? A. Can Anti-Ageing Medicine Really Work? B. What Is the Risk of Anti-Ageing Medicine? C. How to Stay Young with Anti-Ageing Medicine? D. Is It Worthwhile Using Anti-Ageing Medicine? 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了抗衰老医学领域近年来因对衰老基础生物学的发现而迅速发展，这些发现已被转化为实验性疗法，其中包括针对与年龄相关疾病的疫苗。但文章认为，如果抗衰老药物有效且价格适中，它们将被广泛使用，且人们不应因担心意外后果而害怕这些挽救生命的医疗进步。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The field of anti-ageing medicine has exploded in recent years due to discoveries about the fundamental biology of ageing which are translated into experimental therapies.( 近年来，由于对衰老基本生物学的发现被转化为实验疗法，抗衰老医学领域出现了爆炸式增长。)”可知，抗衰老医学领域迅速发展的原因是关于衰老基础生物学的发现被转化为实验性疗法。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“They also promise to lessen effect on the increasingly societal and economic costs of these diseases.( 它们还有望减少对这些疾病日益增加的社会和经济成本的影响。)”可知，抗衰老疫苗有助于减轻这些疾病对社会和经济造成的日益增长的负担，因此可以减少医疗保健费用。故选D。 10题详解】 词句猜测题。在第四段中划线词前面的内容“We won’t know the-outcome until: the therapies have been widely used,(在这些疗法被广泛应用之前，我们无法知道结果，)”可知，我们不会知道这些疗法的结果，直到它们被广泛使用，但到那时再想消除它们的影响就太晚了。因此，划线词短语的意思指消除已经产生的疗法的影响。因此，选项B“To erase the impact of the therapies.(消除疗法的影响)”与划线词同义。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The field of anti-ageing medicine has exploded in recent years due to discoveries about the fundamental biology of ageing which are translated into experimental therapies (疗法) . (近年来，由于对衰老基本生物学的发现被转化为实验疗法，抗衰老医学领域出现了爆炸式增长。)”以及第三段中“But as with all anti-ageing interventions, there are potential downsides too. (但与所有抗衰老干预措施一样，它也有潜在的缺点。)”以及通读全文，文章探讨了使用抗衰老医学的价值和潜在风险，包括其可能带来的好处和负面影响。因此，D选项“Is It Worthwhile Using Anti-Ageing Medicine?(使用抗衰老医学是否值得)”能够概括文章的主题，并引导读者思考使用抗衰老医学的利弊。故选D。 D Franz Katka (卡夫卡) died 100 years ago with his literary works unnoticed. He had instructed his friend Max Brod to burn his unpublished works. Brod did not: he believed Kafka to be a literary genius and published his late friend’s writing. In other words, Brod decided that Kafka’s stories belonged not to the late author, but to the public. Brod’s dilemma echoes today. People generate more data than ever, which, unlike physical bodies, does not disappear. According to Carl Ohman, a Swedish political scientist, this condition makes the modern world “post-mortal” (死后的) . “Living in the post-mortal condition is to constantly find oneself in the shoes of Max Brod”, he observes. The digital era has reshaped humans’ relationship with the dead—as seen in social media reminders for birthdays of dead individuals. Such reminders are to grow more common: Mr. Ohman’s research has found that on Facebook the dead may well outnumber the living within 40 years. Advanced technology enables a continued relationship with the dead, such as Amazon’s development of a feature for Alexa, virtual assistant, to speak in the voice of a lost relative. Startups have used data to make chatbots of the dead - to strengthen users’ commercial relationship, Mr. Ohman points out At the root of Ohman’s book The Afterlife of Data is various complex philosophical questions. To whom do the dead’s data belong? Are data something people create, or a digital analogue (类比) to a physical body? If data are a digital form of the body, what responsibilities does the living have? These are not merely questions for individuals but for society. After all, historians often study the diaries of the dead. Their writers may have preferred to keep them private, but the light that such documents can shine on humanity’s past outweighs the late owner’s wishes. Mr. Ohman notes that data constitute “the biggest database of human behaviour in the history of our species”. And he urges that the social media firms should think twice in terms of how they handle digital remains. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To emphasize Kafka’s literary talent. B. To lead to the discussion on data handling. C. To praise the act to publish Kafka’s works. D. To write an introduction for Ohman’s book. 13. Why do people buy Alexa, the virtual assistant? A. To create a digital database. B. To control devices by voice. C. To access information quickly. D. To communicate with the dead. 14. What problem will people face in post-mortal world according to the passage? A. How to manage the dead’s data. B. How to realize the dead’s wishes. C. How to protect the dead’s privacy. D. How to restore the dead’s belongings. 15. Which of the following will Mr. Ohman probably agree with? A. Data should be in the possession of individuals. B. Historians should control access to digital remains. C. Data’s historical value is more important than the dead’s will. D. Social media firms should be fined for misuse of digital remains. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过卡夫卡的故事引入，探讨了现代世界中死后数据处理的复杂问题，包括数据归属、个人与社会责任等哲学性问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Franz Katka (卡夫卡) died 100 years ago with his literary works unnoticed. He had instructed his friend Max Brod to burn his unpublished works. Brod did not: he believed Kafka to be a literary genius and published his late friend’s writing. In other words, Brod decided that Kafka’s stories belonged not to the late author, but to the public.(弗朗茨·卡夫卡100年前去世，他的文学作品无人注意。他曾指示他的朋友马克斯·布罗德烧掉他未发表的作品。布罗德不这么认为：他相信卡夫卡是一位文学天才，并出版了他已故朋友的作品。换句话说，布罗德认为卡夫卡的故事不属于这位已故作家，而是属于公众)”以及第二段“Brod’s dilemma echoes today. People generate more data than ever, which, unlike physical bodies, does not disappear.(布罗德的困境在今天得到了回应。人们产生的数据比以往任何时候都多，而这些数据与身体不同，不会消失)”可知，第一段通过讲述卡夫卡的故事，引出了关于数据处理的讨论，即如何处理死者留下的数据。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Advanced technology enables a continued relationship with the dead, such as Amazon’s development of a feature for Alexa, virtual assistant, to speak in the voice of a lost relative.(先进的技术使人们能够与死者保持持续的关系，比如Amazon为虚拟助手Alexa开发了一项功能，可以用失去亲人的声音说话)”可知，人们会购买虚拟助手Alexa是为了与死者沟通。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To whom do the dead’s data belong? Are data something people create, or a digital analogue (类比) to a physical body? If data are a digital form of the body, what responsibilities does the living have? These are not merely questions for individuals but for society.(死者的数据属于谁？数据是人类创造的东西，还是物理身体的数字模拟？如果数据是身体的数字形式，那么生者有什么责任？这些不仅仅是个人的问题，也是社会的问题)”可知，“死后世界”将会面临的一个问题，即如何处理死者的数据。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After all, historians often study the diaries of the dead. Their writers may have preferred to keep them private, but the light that such documents can shine on humanity’s past outweighs the late owner’s wishes. Mr. Ohman notes that data constitute “the biggest database of human behaviour in the history of our species”.(毕竟，历史学家经常研究死者的日记。它们的作者可能更愿意将它们保密，但这些文件对人类过去的启示超过了已故所有者的意愿。欧曼指出，这些数据构成了“人类历史上最大的人类行为数据库”)”可知，Ohman很可能会同意数据的历史价值比死者的意愿更重要。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 在后面的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We rely on news to learn about what is happening in the world around us. ___16___ How do these differences come about? ___17___ It would influence how they report an event. There are two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire and the first news report pays more attention to the rescue efforts, while the second talks more about deaths and injuries. Reading more than one report, we can understand an event more comprehensively. Even if news reports are written from basically the same perspective, they may contradict each other in terms of factual details. ___18___ For instance, the numbers of deaths differ in the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire. When we come across such factual differences, we should check when the reports were written. News reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as new facts are brought to light. Another aspect worthy of mention is that journalists may approach information they get from research or interviews differently. Suppose emergency services’ estimates of the number of deaths vary between 5 and 9. Journalists may choose to present the minimum, the maximum or something in between in their news reports. ___19___ To sum up, it is wise to read news reports written from various perspectives and at different stages. ___20___ We also need to be critical about the information we receive and remember not to blindly trust what we have read. Though journalists are committed to presenting the truth, it is better to use our own judgement. With great discrimination, every one of us has the potential to be a critical news reader. A. They often adjust the figures to highlight their reports. B. It brings us a more accurate understanding of a situation. C. Journalists may have different priorities when reporting. D. However, reports on the same events usually contradict each other. E. Journalists need to take the complexity of events into consideration. F. This is because events are usually complicated and constantly changing. G. Therefore, checking different sources helps reach a more informed conclusion. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了新闻报道中存在的差异和矛盾，分析了这些差异产生的原因，并提出了读者应该如何理性看待新闻、多角度了解事件真相的观点。 【16题详解】 根据前文“We rely on news to learn about what is happening in the world around us.(我们依靠新闻来了解我们周围发生的事情)”以及后文“How do these differences come about?(这些差异是如何产生的呢？)”可知，前文提到我们依靠新闻来了解我们周围发生的事情，后文提问差异如何产生，所以空处应提到差异，D项“However, reports on the same events usually contradict each other.(然而，同一事件的报道往往相互矛盾)”和前文构成转折关系，提出差异，符合文意。故选D项。 【17题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“It would influence how they report an event. There are two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire and the first news report pays more attention to the rescue efforts, while the second talks more about deaths and injuries. Reading more than one report, we can understand an event more comprehensively.(这会影响他们报道事件的方式。关于亨德森大厦的火灾有两个新闻报道，第一个新闻报道更多地关注救援工作，而第二个新闻报道更多地谈论死亡和受伤。阅读多份报告，我们可以更全面地了解一个事件)”可知，本段主要讲述，不同的记者报道同一新闻会有不同的侧重点，所以C项“Journalists may have different priorities when reporting.(记者在报道时可能有不同的优先事项)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Even if news reports are written from basically the same perspective, they may contradict each other in terms of factual details.(即使新闻报道是从基本相同的角度撰写的，它们也可能在事实细节方面相互矛盾)”以及后文“For instance, the numbers of deaths differ in the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire. When we come across such factual differences, we should check when the reports were written. News reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as new facts are brought to light.(例如，在亨德森大厦火灾的两篇新闻报道中，死亡人数不同。当我们遇到这样的事实差异时，我们应该检查报告是什么时候写的。随着新事实的曝光，在事件的不同阶段撰写的新闻报道可能包含不同的信息)”可知，本段主要讲述，随着时间流逝，相同的新闻夜会有不同的内容，所以F项“This is because events are usually complicated and constantly changing.(这是因为事件通常是复杂且不断变化的)”是对前文的解释，而后文是对此句进行举例说明。故选F项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文总结，根据前文“Another aspect worthy of mention is that journalists may approach information they get from research or interviews differently. Suppose emergency services’ estimates of the number of deaths vary between 5 and 9. Journalists may choose to present the minimum, the maximum or something in between in their news reports.(另一个值得一提的方面是，记者可能会以不同的方式处理他们从研究或采访中获得的信息。假设紧急服务部门对死亡人数的估计在5到9之间变化。记者可以选择在他们的新闻报道中呈现最小值、最大值或介于两者之间的东西)”可知，G项“Therefore, checking different sources helps reach a more informed conclusion.(因此，检查不同的来源有助于得出更明智的结论)”和前文构成因果关系，是对前文的总结。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“To sum up, it is wise to read news reports written from various perspectives and at different stages.(总之，阅读从不同角度和不同阶段撰写的新闻报道是明智的)”可知，B项“It brings us a more accurate understanding of a situation.(它使我们更准确地了解情况)”承接上文，其中it代指阅读从不同角度和不同阶段撰写的新闻报道，是对前句的进一步解释。故选B项。 第二部分 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，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My son was three and a half and our only child.

I am excited to be back in school. I have two new puppies, and you are all invited to see them after school! ” Jolene announced to the 3rd grade class when it was her turn to introduce herself. She was outgoing and sometimes loud. With her bright red, curly hair and mismatched socks, Jo-Jo appeared a little frightening to the shy kids. She couldn’t help it! She loved school, her friends, and being the center of attention. Jo-Jo’s mom said she attracted friends like fruit flies to apple juice. Mrs. Anderson, the teacher, smiled and thanked Jo-Jo for sharing. She then introduced a new kid named Dee Rogen. When he spoke, he was quiet and didn’t say much. Jo-Jo remembered seeing him sitting alone at breakfast and not eating. Mrs. Anderson then partnered him with Ben as his “buddy” for the day. At lunchtime, Jo-Jo: noticed that Dee was sitting with Ben and his friends but not talking to anyone. He looked lonely, thought Jo-Jo, as she gobbled up her pizza and drank her milk. The next day, Jo-Jo saw that Dee was by himself at lunchtime again. Jo-Jo didn’t like anyone to feel alone. She noticed that Dee had a shirt on that said “I Paused My Game to be Here.” Jo-Jo had an idea. She took her lunch tray near Dee and said, “I like your shirt. What games do you play? ” Dee smiled and said his favorite was Minecraft (我的世界) . Jo-Jo loved it, as one could create things using imagination in Minecraft! They spent the lunch break talking about the houses, farms, castles and secret tunnels they built with blocks. “In the game I learnt programming and team spirit,” Dee said excitedly. On Friday, Jo-Jo said that she was having Minecraft Friday Night at her house after school and everyone in her class was invited. Several students ran up to her at once. However, Jo-Jo noticed Dee wasn’t among them. She waited until lunchtime and asked him about it. “I don’t really know anyone, Jo-Jo,” Dee answered. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable being there and playing by myself.” Jo-Jo was confused because she thought he would love the idea. It was on her mind all day and finally she decided to do something to make him feel included. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shortly after Dee arrived for Minecraft Friday Night, Jo-Jo could see how excited he was. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It was on her mind all day and finally she decided to do something to make him feel included.

Finally, Dee agreed, and Jo-Jo couldn’t wait to see the look on his face when he saw all the preparations for the game. Shortly after Dee arrived for Minecraft Friday Night Jo-Jo could see how excited he was. His eyes sparkled as he saw the Minecraft-themed decorations and the big screen set up for the game. As soon as the game started, Dee dove into it with enthusiasm, building and exploring alongside the other kids. Jo-Jo watched as Dee’s shyness melted away, replaced by laughter and excitement. She knew she had done the right thing. By the end of the night, Dee was chatting and laughing with everyone, clearly enjoying the sense of belonging that Jo-Jo had helped create. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了新来的学生Jo-Jo和Dee，一个开朗外向，一个内向安静，最后成为了朋友的故事。他们都喜欢玩游戏，利用休息时间讨论在游戏中生存的最佳方法。这天Jo-Jo宣布她将在放学后在家里举办《我的世界》周五活动，并邀请了班上的所有人，但是Dee却没有报名，Dee诉说了自己的担忧以后，于是她决定做些什么让他感到被接纳。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她整天都在想这件事，最后她决定做点什么让他感到被包容。”可知，第一段可描写Jo-Jo为了让Dee感到被接纳所做努力，如她邀请Dee和她一起玩游戏，并告诉Dee其他同学也很期待他的参与，Dee被说服了，决定去参加活动等。 ②由第二段首句内容“在Dee来到《我的世界》周五之夜后不久，Jo-Jo可以看到他有多兴奋。”可知，第二段可描写Dee在活动中的表现，如他很快就融入了游戏中，和其他孩子们玩得很开心，Jo-Jo也很高兴，因为她知道她让Dee感到了被接纳和喜欢等。 2. 续写线索：决定做点什么——劝说Dee——Dee被说服——参加活动——玩得开心。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①犹豫：hesitate/waver ②投入：dive into/throw oneself into ③消失：melt away/vanish 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②热情：enthusiasm/passion 【点睛】[高分句型1]Finally, Dee agreed, and Jo-Jo couldn’t wait to see the look on his face when he saw all the preparations for the game.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]As soon as the game started, Dee dove into it with enthusiasm, building and exploring alongside the other kids.(as soon as时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 韶关市2025届高三综合测试（一） 英语 本试卷共10页，卷面满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、学校和班级填写在答题卡指定的位置上。 2. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦于净后、再选涂其他答案。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案； 不准使用铅笔和涂改液。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考生须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 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，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A National Park Service Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site seeks enthusiastic and passionate volunteers to assist us on Saturday, the, National: Public Lands Day!

B When Gary Yau entered university, he launched a social media page called Road Research Society to share interesting facts about roads and city planning. His first post explored the use of English font (字体) on Hong Kong’s road signs. “That post surprisingly received many likes and shares, so it got me thinking about expanding my audience,” he recalled. In 2016, the enthusiast collected 50 Chinese characters from Hong Kong’ s road signs and outlined and uploaded the image to his Facebook account. A friend suggested turning this collection into a font. Yau saw it as a means to preserve a cherished aspect of Hong Kong’s history. About twenty years ago, many of the city’s signs featured handcrafted characters made by prisoners. However, as design technology advances, these traditional signs are gradually being replaced, Following visits to the remaining traditional road signs in the city, Yau’ s team had outlined approximately 500 characters. Yet, this fell short of the 7, 000 Chinese characters required for practical use by those who use Chinese daily. Faced with this limitation, the team began creating new characters by mixing and matching existing components, adjusting line thickness, and modifying radicals (部首) . For instance, when they couldn’t locate the Chinese character for “prison” on any existing signs, they designed one from scratch. This process involved extensive trial and error. After six years of dedicated effort, Yau found motivation in the constant enthusiasm of his followers. “They‘ve been eagerly anticipating this project for as long as I‘ve been working on it,” he remarked. “One even expressed that he had been waiting for this font since his first year of secondary school. Now, as a sixth grader, his wait is finally over. Yau is thrilled to witness how his followers will use this digital font. “I cannot own a road sign, but what I can do is digitize it,” Yau said. “I did not want to just document it but develop it into something we can use in daily life. This is a way to preserve Hong Kong’s visual cultural memory.” 4. What inspired Yau to design a font? A. His interest in road signs. B. His popularity with his fans. C. His desire to restore history. D. His passion for city planning. 5. Why did Yau’s team create new characters? A. To combine the components. B. To meet the need of daily use. C. To set limitation to the characters. D. To replace the traditional road signs. 6. Why did the writer mention Yau’s followers? A. To highlight their dedicated effort. B. To show their support to the project. C. To explain their role in digitizing the font. D. To indicate their passion to share his posts. 7. Which of the following can best describe Yau? A. Practical and efficient. B. Confident and resourceful. C. Determined and innovative. D. Ambitious and competitive. C The field of anti-ageing medicine has exploded in recent years due to discoveries about the fundamental biology of ageing which are translated into experimental therapies (疗法) . The latest fountain of youth to pour from the lab comes in the form of vaccines (疫苗) against age-related conditions— cancer heart disease, dementia and more. The first of these could be available by the end of the decade. All-purpose anti-ageing injections are also in development. The upsides of such vaccines are clear. Anything that limits the impact of age-related conditions on people who live into old age—not to mention on the loved ones who often end up caring for them—has to be welcomed. They also promise to lessen effect on the increasingly societal and economic costs of these diseases. But as with all anti-ageing interventions, there are potential downsides too. If millions of people live significantly longer, we risk a population explosion on a planet whose resources are already overstretched. If the vaccines merely delay the beginning of age-related conditions, they will only postpone the burden on people and society. And as Nobel prizewinner Venki Ramakrishnan told us earlier this year. a long-lived society is likely to be an unmoving one. These are familiar fears. The common answer is that the goal is increased healthspan. That means people living for longer, free from the diseases of old age, then suddenly declining and dying. We won’t know the-outcome until: the therapies have been widely used, at which point it will be too late to put the genie back in the bottle. But there is really no turning back anyway. If vaccines and other anti-ageing therapies work and are affordable, they will be used. Besides, nobody would argue that innovations like antibiotics, vaccines and advanced diagnostics were a bad idea even though they marked the beginning of our era of age-related diseases. Similarly, we shouldn’t fear life-saving medical advances on the basis of unintended consequences. If we can make lies longer and less painful, the downsides are a price worth paying. 8. Why is the field of anti-ageing medicine growing rapidly? A. The biology of ageing is better applied. B. The trend of healthy lifestyle is rising. C. The demand for longer life is increasing. D. The number of elderly is rising globally. 9. How do anti-ageing vaccines benefit society? A. By increasing the workforce. B. By curing people of diseases. C. By boosting economic growth. D. By reducing healthcare expense. 10. What does the underlined phrase “put the genie back in the bottle” mean? A. To stop the process of ageing. B. To erase the impact of the therapies. C. To create a new medical breakthrough. D. To delay the development of technology. 11. What is the best title for this article? A. Can Anti-Ageing Medicine Really Work? B. What Is the Risk of Anti-Ageing Medicine? C. How to Stay Young with Anti-Ageing Medicine? D. Is It Worthwhile Using Anti-Ageing Medicine? D Franz Katka (卡夫卡) died 100 years ago with his literary works unnoticed. He had instructed his friend Max Brod to burn his unpublished works. Brod did not: he believed Kafka to be a literary genius and published his late friend’s writing. In other words, Brod decided that Kafka’s stories belonged not to the late author, but to the public. Brod’s dilemma echoes today. People generate more data than ever, which, unlike physical bodies, does not disappear. According to Carl Ohman, a Swedish political scientist, this condition makes the modern world “post-mortal” (死后的) . “Living in the post-mortal condition is to constantly find oneself in the shoes of Max Brod”, he observes. The digital era has reshaped humans’ relationship with the dead—as seen in social media reminders for birthdays of dead individuals. Such reminders are to grow more common: Mr. Ohman’s research has found that on Facebook the dead may well outnumber the living within 40 years. Advanced technology enables a continued relationship with the dead, such as Amazon’s development of a feature for Alexa, virtual assistant, to speak in the voice of a lost relative. Startups have used data to make chatbots of the dead - to strengthen users’ commercial relationship, Mr. Ohman points out At the root of Ohman’s book The Afterlife of Data is various complex philosophical questions. To whom do the dead’s data belong? Are data something people create, or a digital analogue (类比) to a physical body? If data are a digital form of the body, what responsibilities does the living have? These are not merely questions for individuals but for society. After all, historians often study the diaries of the dead. Their writers may have preferred to keep them private, but the light that such documents can shine on humanity’s past outweighs the late owner’s wishes. Mr. Ohman notes that data constitute “the biggest database of human behaviour in the history of our species”. And he urges that the social media firms should think twice in terms of how they handle digital remains. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To emphasize Kafka’s literary talent. B. To lead to the discussion on data handling. C To praise the act to publish Kafka’s works. D. To write an introduction for Ohman’s book. 13. Why do people buy Alexa, the virtual assistant? A. To create a digital database. B. To control devices by voice. C. To access information quickly. D. To communicate with the dead. 14. What problem will people face in post-mortal world according to the passage? A. How to manage the dead’s data. B. How to realize the dead’s wishes. C. How to protect the dead’s privacy. D. How to restore the dead’s belongings. 15. Which of the following will Mr. Ohman probably agree with? A. Data should be in the possession of individuals. B. Historians should control access to digital remains. C. Data’s historical value is more important than the dead’s will. D. Social media firms should be fined for misuse of digital remains. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 在后面的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We rely on news to learn about what is happening in the world around us. ___16___ How do these differences come about? ___17___ It would influence how they report an event. There are two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire and the first news report pays more attention to the rescue efforts, while the second talks more about deaths and injuries. Reading more than one report, we can understand an event more comprehensively. Even if news reports are written from basically the same perspective, they may contradict each other in terms of factual details. ___18___ For instance, the numbers of deaths differ in the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire. When we come across such factual differences, we should check when the reports were written. News reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as new facts are brought to light. Another aspect worthy of mention is that journalists may approach information they get from research or interviews differently. Suppose emergency services’ estimates of the number of deaths vary between 5 and 9.

I am excited to be back in school. I have two new puppies, and you are all invited to see them after school! ” Jolene announced to the 3rd grade class when it was her turn to introduce herself. She was outgoing and sometimes loud. With her bright red, curly hair and mismatched socks, Jo-Jo appeared a little frightening to the shy kids. She couldn’t help it! She loved school, her friends, and being the center of attention. Jo-Jo’s mom said she attracted friends like fruit flies to apple juice. Mrs. Anderson, the teacher, smiled and thanked Jo-Jo for sharing. She then introduced a new kid named Dee Rogen. When he spoke, he was quiet and didn’t say much. Jo-Jo remembered seeing him sitting alone at breakfast and not eating. Mrs. Anderson then partnered him with Ben as his “buddy” for the day. At lunchtime, Jo-Jo: noticed that Dee was sitting with Ben and his friends but not talking to anyone. He looked lonely, thought Jo-Jo, as she gobbled up her pizza and drank her milk. The next day, Jo-Jo saw that Dee was by himself at lunchtime again. Jo-Jo didn’t like anyone to feel alone. She noticed that Dee had a shirt on that said “I Paused My Game to be Here.” Jo-Jo had an idea. She took her lunch tray near Dee and said, “I like your shirt. What games do you play? ” Dee smiled and said his favorite was Minecraft (我的世界) . Jo-Jo loved it, as one could create things using imagination in Minecraft! They spent the lunch break talking about the houses, farms, castles and secret tunnels they built with blocks. “In the game I learnt programming and team spirit,” Dee said excitedly. On Friday, Jo-Jo said that she was having Minecraft Friday Night at her house after school and everyone in her class was invited. Several students ran up to her at once. However, Jo-Jo noticed Dee wasn’t among them. She waited until lunchtime and asked him about it. “I don’t really know anyone, Jo-Jo,” Dee answered. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable being there and playing by myself.” Jo-Jo was confused because she thought he would love the idea. It was on her mind all day and finally she decided to do something to make him feel included. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shortly after Dee arrived for Minecraft Friday Night, Jo-Jo could see how excited he was. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
