With luck, you will witness the wildebeest migration.”（早起进行早晨的猎游，然后飞往塞伦盖蒂北部。幸运的话，你将见证角马的迁徙。）可知，旅行者可以在第二天和第四天看到野生动物。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dates & Prices部分表格中“Oct.8-12, 2024 Double Occupancy $1,300 per person”（2024年10月8日至12日 双人预定 每人1300美元）可知，2024年10月8日至12日，双人预定，每人1300美元。所以，如果一对夫妇在10月8日出发，他们需要支付的费用是1300×2=2600美元。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据What’s not included:部分“● Trip cancelation insurance or any other travel insurance”（费用不包含：● 旅行取消保险或任何其他旅行保险）可知，旅行者需要为旅行取消保险支付额外费用。故选D项。 B “The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.” “Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.” This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School. Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she teaches in such an innovative way. Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they’re asked to “come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (发光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or snakes?” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their anticipated benefits and risks. Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not I can’t do it. It’s we can do it. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.” 4. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way? A. She’s bettering ways to power cars. B. She’s inspiring students to address real problems. C. She’s making science classes more accessible. D. She’s helping students stay informed of climate change. 5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity. C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions. 6. How is the last paragraph mainly developed? A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert. C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example. 7. Which best describes Milks’ way of teaching? A. It ignores practical application. B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge. C. It encourages creative problem-solving. D. It highlights the risks of climate change. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一位高中科学老师设计的一节课，这节课让学生们有创造性地自己想各种解决气候变暖的办法，这样的课程不仅让学生受益匪浅，也受到了大学教授的高度评价。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段Milks的话语“Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.(我们的学生不仅需要知道我们在新闻中听到的东西，还需要知道我们能为我们共同的未来所做的实际改变)”可知，学生们需要了解的不仅是新闻中的知识，更是在我们共享的未来能真正做出影响的事情。由此推知，Milks希望学生们能够解决真正问题。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段首句“Creativity is at the core of her lesson.(创造力是她课程的核心)”及后文可知，本段介绍了学生在这个课堂的整个学习过程。首先是学生学习气候工程的相关基础知识，然后由学生头脑风暴各种缓解全球变暖问题的方法。第一轮中学生提出观点，然后老师提出这些观点具有哪些局限性和危险，学生再完善观点，最后学生们整理他们的观点。由此可知，第五段主要介绍了Milks老师上课的步骤。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not I can’t do it. It’s we can do it. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”(印第安纳大学助理教授本·克拉维茨仔细观看了整节课，他说：“看到所有这些想法从课堂上涌现出来，令人兴奋的是，并不是说我做不到。我们可以做到。当人类聚集在一起时，可以做出惊人的事情。这给了我希望。”)”可推知，最后一段是通过引用一位专家的话展开的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. (创造力是她课程的核心。在学生们学习了气候工程的基础知识之后，他们被要求提出一些有趣的疯狂的想法来减缓全球变暖)”及后文可知，Milks课堂的核心是创造性，学生们首先被要求提出自己的想法，并想出解决问题的办法，然后学生们需要考虑想法背后的局限性和危险，最后学生们需要展示他们的概念，包括自己预设的好的方面和不好的方面。由此推知，Milks在教学中是注重创造性解决问题的。故选C。 C For millions of years, bees, moths and other pollinators have used scents (香气) to locate flowers and transfer pollen (花粉) to any flowers they later visit. But something is changing today. When the scents of flowers interact with certain air pollutants (污染物) at night, key scents are destroyed. Moths and other nighttime pollinators may find it hard to recognize the flowers they were seeking, researchers show. The Seattle team conducted field and lab tests with a plant — the pale evening primrose. Ecologist Jeremy Chan put bags over pale evening primroses to trap the flowers’ scent. Then he took the scent back to the lab, along with some moths. They released the primrose scent and moths into a wind tunnel that could mimic conditions in an outdoor field. At once, they watched the moths easily flying straight upwind and tracking the scent. But it was different when pollutants, like ozone and nitrogen dioxide, were added to the mix. Now, the moths flew in a “Z” line. They seemed to be seeking the scent — often without success. The team then decided to test its findings in nature at night. The result was the same. When this scent was mixed with the pollutants, moths’ visits dropped. Some moths even never found a single flower during the tests. Besides, the same reactions could hurt flowers’ scents by day. But because sunlight can break down ozone, the problem is likely more serious for night pollinators. As Earth’s climate warms, it’s likely that a mix of pollutants will continue to climb. Such conditions could worsen the pollution threat to flowers’ scents and plant pollination. “As we know, pollination is important to food growers”, noted Joel Thornton. He’s an atmospheric scientist in the team. He said pollution could pose a new type of threat to farming. 8. Why do moths have trouble finding out flowers today? A. Flowers’ scents interrupt moth. B. Pollutants affect flowers’ scents. C. Flowers are not available at night. D. Flowers are changing their scents. 9. How did the researchers get the findings? A. By monitoring moths’ behaviors. B. By detecting the primrose scent. C. By analyzing the types of pollutants. D. By comparing scents with pollutants. 10. What did Joel Thornton think of the findings? A. Amusing. B. Promising. C. Satisfying. D. Worrying. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: Lost in Pollutants B. Scents: Gone with the Wind. C. Pollinators: Master of a Garden. D. Scents: Nature’s Secret Language. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了最新的一项调查研究发现，空气中的污染物会对花的香味造成一定的影响，从而影响蜜蜂、飞蛾等授粉者寻找花源。调查研究者认为该现象同时会对农业造成一定的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When the scents of flowers interact with certain air pollutants (污染物) at night, key scents are destroyed.(当花朵的气味在夜间与某些空气污染物相互作用时，关键的气味就会被破坏)”可知，某些空气污染物与花香相互作用后，一些关键的香气就会受损，从而导致使授粉者很难找到花源。故选 B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At once, they watched the moths easily flying straight upwind and tracking the scent. But it was different when pollutants, like ozone and nitrogen dioxide, were added to the mix.(他们立刻看到飞蛾轻松地逆风飞行，追踪气味。但当臭氧和二氧化氮等污染物加入到混合物中时，情况就不同了)”以及“Now, the moths flew in a “Z” line. They seemed to be seeking the scent — often without success.(现在，飞蛾排成“Z”字形飞行。它们似乎在寻找气味，但往往没有成功)”可知，研究者们通过观察在有无污染物的环境中，飞蛾飞行行为的变化，从而确定污染物对飞蛾授粉的影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““As we know, pollination is important to food growers”, noted Joel Thornton. He’s an atmospheric scientist in the team. He said pollution could pose a new type of threat to farming.(“我们知道，授粉对粮食种植者很重要，”乔尔·桑顿指出。他是团队里的大气科学家。他说，污染可能对农业构成一种新的威胁)”可知，研究团队担心空气中的污染物质会对农业造成威胁，从而影响收成。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For millions of years, bees, moths and other pollinators have used scents (香气) to locate flowers and transfer pollen (花粉) to any flowers they later visit. But something is changing today. When the scents of flowers interact with certain air pollutants (污染物) at night, key scents are destroyed. Moths and other nighttime pollinators may find it hard to recognize the flowers they were seeking, researchers show.(数百万年来，蜜蜂、飞蛾和其他传粉媒介利用气味来定位花朵，并将花粉传递给它们以后访问的任何花朵。但今天有些事情正在发生变化。当花朵的气味在夜间与某些空气污染物相互作用时，关键的气味就会被破坏。研究人员表示，飞蛾和其他夜间传粉媒介可能很难识别它们正在寻找的花朵)”结合这篇文章中的研究对象为授粉者，研究发现空气中的污染物会对花的香味造成一定的影响，从而影响蜜蜂、飞蛾等授粉者寻找花源。A选项“传粉者：消失在污染物中”最符合文章标题。故选 A。 D Are you eyebrow blind? TikTok users seem to think so — many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they’re blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces. Though “eyebrow blindness” and other types of “beauty blindness” aren’t exactly considered mental health trouble. people’s tendency to follow trends — even when they look silly or take risks doing so — is definitely a real phenomenon. So, what does psychology say about trend following? First, following trends isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. The reason for trend following relates to humans' core need to belong toa social group and connect with others. Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved (进化) to rely on one another for survival. But why do trends themselves have such a pull? “Our brains are hardwired to notice what’s unusual,” Rutledge says. Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those bold enough to follow them. No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social groups. But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends-even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults. As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their individuality. This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation (隶属关系) with socially credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends. So, next time you put on makeup or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle, consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think. “it’s really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd.” says Rutledge. 12. According to the first paragraph, a beauty blind person might________. A. oppose makeup trends publicly B. follow makeup trends uncritically C. rely on social media for makeup advice D. take risks with untested beauty products 13. What’s a primary motivation of trend following? A. Financial profit. B. Social connection. C. Artistic expression. D. Character weakness. 14. Which can best replace the underlined words “exempt from” in paragraph 4? A. Free of. B. Subject to. C. Exposed to. D. Concerned about. 15. What might Rutledge think of trend following? A It’s a personalized choice. B. It mirrors people's mental health C. It results from lack of self-confidence. D. It’s a natural response to social signals 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章深入剖析了人们追随潮流趋势背后的心理动因。通过探讨人类对于社会归属感的基本需求，解释了为何人们倾向于追逐潮流，包括在化妆和时尚选择上。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Are you eyebrow blind? TikTok users seem to think so — many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they’re blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces. Though “eyebrow blindness” and other types of “beauty blindness” aren’t exactly considered mental health trouble. people’s tendency to follow trends — even when they look silly or take risks doing so — is definitely a real phenomenon.（你是眉盲吗？TikTok用户似乎是这么认为的——许多人在该平台上抱怨化妆者显然无法分辨自己是在盲目追随化妆潮流，还是在脸上涂了好看的妆容。虽然“眉盲”和其他类型的“美盲”并不被认为是心理健康问题。人们跟风的倾向——即使他们看起来很傻或冒着风险——绝对是一个真实的现象。）”可知，“美盲”的人盲目跟风化妆潮流而不顾自身特点。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The reason for trend following relates to humans' core need to belong toa social group and connect with others. Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved to rely on one another for survival.（趋势跟随的原因与人类属于社会群体并与他人联系的核心需求有关。多种心理学框架认为，人际关系与获得食物和住所等基本要素一样重要，因为人类进化到依赖彼此生存。）”可知，跟随趋势的主要动机是社会联系。故选B。 【14题详解】 词义推测题。根据划线词所在句子后“But one group in particular is even easier to followtrends-even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults.（但有一个群体更容易追随潮流——甚至是有风险的群体：青少年和年轻人。）”可知，前句的意思是“没有人能够不受到潮流的影响”。exempt from表示“不受……影响”，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, next time you put on makeup or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle, consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think. “it's really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd.” says Rutledge.（所以，下次当你化妆、穿衣、在公共场合点餐或买车时，要考虑到你的决定可能不像你想象的那样个性化。拉特利奇说：‘这真的只是一种天生的反应，可以用我们想要融入人群或从人群中脱颖而出的需求来解释。’）”可知，拉特利奇认为趋势跟随是对社会信号的自然反应。故选D。 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 What Does Our Body Language Reveal ___16___ People tend to judge us far more on our physical appearance, including our mannerisms, than by what comes out of our mouths. To give the right impression, it’s important to understand what we are conveying non-verbally and how our unconscious signals are being received by the people we interact with. Smiling is a powerful tool in your body language collection. Perhaps you smile a lot in the hope of appearing friendly. ___17___ In some Asian cultures, smiling too much is seen as a signal that you’re not a serious person and may lose you some respect. If you’re trying to hide nervousness you’d better avoid smiling too much, too. Also be aware that nervous people often hug themselves, rub their forehead, and shift their body weight from one foot to another to create a slight rocking motion. ___18___ If you’re trying to show that you are listening sympathetically to what someone has to say, try tipping your head slightly and nodding very slightly. This gesture implies you are listening with interest. If you’re talking to someone and a third person joins, turn your body towards them slightly to include them and make them feel valued. ___19___ A single nod of the head is also a strong gesture of coolness when listening to another person. To build trust quickly? Try mirroring. Adopting a similar stance (站姿) to the person you are engaged with indicates your interest and helps develop trust. Use this with caution, though. ___20___ Mirroring only works when they don’t realize what you’re doing. A. Don’t obviously copy your companion. B. Our body language speaks volumes about us. C. Control these habits to appear more composed. D. Our body language barely overshadows our verbal communication. E. Just be aware that it might make you seem less professional at work. F. We tend to position our body and feet toward the person of interest to us. G. By contrast, a failure to angle your body towards them implies “Unwelcome”. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些常见的肢体语言所代表的含义。 【16题详解】 根据后文“People tend to judge us far more on our physical appearance, including our mannerisms, than by what comes out of our mouths. To give the right impression, it’s important to understand what we are conveying non-verbally and how our unconscious signals are being received by the people we interact with.(人们往往更倾向于通过我们的外表，包括我们的举止来判断我们，而不是通过我们的嘴说了什么。为了给人留下正确的印象，重要的是要明白我们在用非语言传达什么，以及我们的无意识信号是如何被我们互动的人接收的)”可知，后文提到人们会通过举止来判断我们，说明肢体语言能反应我们自身。故B选项“我们的肢体语言很能说明我们”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Smiling is a powerful tool in your body language collection. Perhaps you smile a lot in the hope of appearing friendly.(微笑是你身体语言集合中一个强大的工具。也许你经常微笑是为了显得友好)”以及后文“In some Asian cultures, smiling too much is seen as a signal that you’re not a serious person and may lose you some respect.(在一些亚洲文化中，笑得太多被认为是一个不严肃的人的信号，可能会让你失去一些尊重)”可知，本句主要说明了经常微笑的负面影响。故E选项“只是要知道，这可能会让你在工作中显得不那么专业”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“If you’re trying to hide nervousness you’d better avoid smiling too much, too. Also be aware that nervous people often hug themselves, rub their forehead, and shift their body weight from one foot to another to create a slight rocking motion.(如果你想掩饰紧张，你最好也不要笑得太多。还要注意，紧张的人经常会拥抱自己，揉额头，把身体重心从一只脚转移到另一只脚上，做出轻微的摇摆动作)”可知，上文主要列举了一些表现出紧张的举动，本句为本段最后一句，建议控制这些习惯。故C选项“控制这些习惯，让自己显得更沉稳”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“If you’re talking to someone and a third person joins, turn your body towards them slightly to include them and make them feel valued.(如果你正在和某人说话，有第三个人加入进来，把你的身体稍微转向他们，让他们感到被重视)”可知，上文提到身体朝向某人会让对方感到被重视，可知本句说明相反的情况。故G选项“相比之下，如果你的身体不能朝向他们，就意味着‘不受欢迎’”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Mirroring only works when they don’t realize what you’re doing.(只有当他们没有意识到你在做什么的时候，模仿才有效)”可知，后文提到了有效的模仿，推测本句是在对模仿他人提出建议，A选项中copy对应后文Mirroring。故A选项“不要明显地模仿你的同伴”符合语境，故选A。 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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Seven years after a terrible fall left me paralyzed, here I was, with my two teammates, on the way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnajökull glacier, unsupported and unassisted.

But I was eager for ___23___ and signed on to do the trip with MeCann and Jackson, both of whom had spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. From our start point, we would need to ___24___ through storm-force winds and overcome the ___25___ of our injuries. This was going to be the toughest challenge of my life. Roped together, we started toward the frozen horizon, ___26___ two sledges (雪橇) loaded with equipment behind us. Just 10 minutes into our journey, I was already beginning to feel the ___27___ on my shoulders and arms. The weight of our equipment was a constant ___28___ as it dragged stubbornly through the snow behind us. And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization — and ___29___ to the man I'd once been. After 11 tough days, and countless ____30____ and slips, we approached the eastern edge of the Vatnajökull glacier. We had beaten the odds, ____31____ our physical limitations and emerged victorious. That moment at the ____32____ affected every aspect of my life and the way I ____33____ my disability.

Two Chinese researchers made ____37____ copy of the footwear using the shoe-making techniques and materials known to be used by the Qin people when the warriors ____38____ (build). The study found that the replicas provided the wearers with “a more comfortable, stable and efficient” ____39____ (walk) experience. ____40____ (equal) fascinating are the warriors’ clothes: they were candy-coloured.

In many cases, the paint has not survived the centuries after the warriors ____42____(burn) by fires or soaked in floods, but a few of the warriors have been unearthed ____43____ their original colouring still largely undamaged. A 2019 study found that the colors were mixed with various protein-based binders, such as egg, animal glues and milk, before ____44____ (paint) onto the soldiers to help secure the paint. ______45______ (reconstruct) based on this research seem to suggest the Qin fashion-at least in the army-was to clash colours (撞色). 【答案】36. but 37. a 38. were built 39. walking 40. Equally 41. which 42. had been burnt##had been burned##were burnt##were burned 43. with 44. being painted 45. Reconstructions 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过对兵马俑的鞋子和衣服颜色研究发现，兵马俑的穿戴服饰在秦军中发挥着“至关重要的作用”。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：在这些2200年前的兵马俑中，鞋子可能不是人们首先注意到的东西，但对鞋子的初步分析表明，这些不起眼的配饰可能在秦军中发挥了“至关重要的作用”。此处为连词，结合句意，空前与空后的内容为转折关系。故填but。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：两名中国研究人员利用秦人在建造兵马俑时所使用的制鞋技术和材料，复制了这双鞋子。copy为可数名词单数，make a copy of意为“复制”符合句意。故填a。 【38题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：两名中国研究人员利用秦人在建造兵马俑时所使用的制鞋技术和材料，复制了这双鞋子。此处为谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处指的是兵马俑被建造时的事，所以使用一般过去时，且build与主语the warriors之间为被动关系，且主语为名词复数。故填were built。 【39题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：研究发现，这些复制品为佩戴者提供了“更舒适、更稳定、更高效”的行走体验。此处为非谓语动词作定语，结合句意可知，此处表示“行走”应为walking作定语修饰名词experience。故填walking。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：同样吸引人的是战士们的衣服:它们是糖果色的。此处为副词作状语修饰形容词fascinating，equal的副词为equally意为“同样地”符合句意，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Equally。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：当兵马俑最初被制作出来的时候，他们被涂上了明亮的红色、蓝色和绿色，据信这些颜色与秦国士兵所穿的衣服的颜色相匹配。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，且先行词a bright array of reds, blues, and greens指事物。故填which。 【42题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：在许多情况下，由于这些兵马俑被大火烧毁或被洪水浸泡了几个世纪，这些颜料并没有保存下来，但有一些兵马俑出土时，它们的原始颜色基本上没有受损。此处为谓语动词，根据句意可知，burn发生在主句谓语动词之前，所以此处可以使用过去完成时，且burn与主语the warriors之间为被动关系，所以使用had been burnt/burned，因after引导的时间状语从句已表明与主句动作的先后关系，所以此处也可使用一般过去时表示发生在过去的事情，且与主语为被动关系，主语为名词复数，所以使用were burnt/burned。故填had been burnt/burned/were burnt/burned。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：在许多情况下，由于这些兵马俑被大火烧毁或被洪水浸泡了几个世纪，这些颜料并没有保存下来，但有一些兵马俑出土时，它们的原始颜色基本上没有受损。their original colouring为名词短语，damaged为过去分词作宾补，与宾语为被动关系，由此可推断，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”结构。故填with。 【44题详解】 考查动名词。句意：2019年的一项研究发现，这些颜色与各种蛋白质基粘合剂(如鸡蛋、动物胶和牛奶)混合在一起，然后涂在士兵身上，以帮助固定油漆。此处为非谓语动词作宾语，根据空前的介词before可知，此处为动名词作宾语，结合句意，paint与the colors 以及various protein-based binders之间为被动关系，所以使用动名词的被动形式。故填being painted。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：基于这项研究的重建似乎表明，秦朝的时尚——至少在军队中——是撞色。此处为名词作主语，reconstruct的名词为reconstruction意为“重建”，根据谓语动词seem为动词原形可知，此处为名词复数，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Reconstructions。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分 40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，英语教材出版社正面向学生征求使用意见。请给你所用教材的主编Professor Nunan写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.使用教材的收获； 2.改进教材的建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Professor Nunan, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Professor Nunan, Learning that you are gathering feedback on our English textbooks, I’m glad to share my thoughts.

I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team’s criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events. The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡) , anticipation building up with each tick of the clock. Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with “I’m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon, I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer. “Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’t make the debate team.” She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story. “No, really, I wasn’t picked,” I told her, handing her the letter. Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying. The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn’t deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained. “I’m the best fit for the team,” I protested. “See, Jenny, complaining won’t get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look. 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。 I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. She shared her own stories of failure and disappointment and how she turned them into opportunities for growth. “Every rejection is a lesson,” she said. With her guidance, I spent the next three months improving my skills. I practiced debates, read extensively to stay updated on current events, and sought feedback from teachers and peers. I even started a debate club after school to gain more experience. I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament, they considered my dedication and improvement. This time, I was ready. My performance in the tryouts was confident and well-prepared. Joining the team was a sweet victory, but the real win was in the resilience I had built and the lessons I had learned along the way. My mother’s wisdom had steered me through a tough time, and I was grateful for the journey that had made me a better debater and a stronger person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。短文讲述主角最初因为落选辩论队受到了打击，但在母亲的鼓励下，她选择利用这次挫折作为提升自我的机会，通过参加辩论研讨和自我练习来改进自己的技能。最终，机会再次来临，她用准备和信心证明了自己，最终成功加入辩论队。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我盯着妈妈，急切地听着。”可知，第一段可描写母亲分享了自己的失败和失望的故事，以及她如何将它们转化为成长的机会。以及作者努力的过程 ②由第二段首句内容“3个月后第二次机会来临时，我成功了。”可知，第二段可描写讲述机会再次来临时，作者基于之前的准备，成功加入了辩论队以及感悟。 2.续写线索：母亲分享了自己的故事——作者的努力——加入辩论队——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①转化成：turn...into /transform...into ②提高：improve/promote ③获得：gain /obtain ④加入团队：join the team/make the team 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful /appreciative ②自信的：confident/ assured 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament, they considered my dedication and improvement.

B “The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.” “Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.” This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School. Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she teaches in such an innovative way. Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they’re asked to “come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (发光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or snakes?” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their anticipated benefits and risks. Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not I can’t do it. It’s we can do it. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.” 4. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way? A. She’s bettering ways to power cars. B. She’s inspiring students to address real problems. C. She’s making science classes more accessible. D. She’s helping students stay informed of climate change. 5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity. C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions. 6. How is the last paragraph mainly developed? A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert. C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example. 7. Which best describes Milks’ way of teaching? A. It ignores practical application. B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge. C. It encourages creative problem-solving. D. It highlights the risks of climate change. C For millions of years, bees, moths and other pollinators have used scents (香气) to locate flowers and transfer pollen (花粉) to any flowers they later visit. But something is changing today. When the scents of flowers interact with certain air pollutants (污染物) at night, key scents are destroyed. Moths and other nighttime pollinators may find it hard to recognize the flowers they were seeking, researchers show. The Seattle team conducted field and lab tests with a plant — the pale evening primrose. Ecologist Jeremy Chan put bags over pale evening primroses to trap the flowers’ scent. Then he took the scent back to the lab, along with some moths. They released the primrose scent and moths into a wind tunnel that could mimic conditions in an outdoor field. At once, they watched the moths easily flying straight upwind and tracking the scent. But it was different when pollutants, like ozone and nitrogen dioxide, were added to the mix. Now, the moths flew in a “Z” line. They seemed to be seeking the scent — often without success. The team then decided to test its findings in nature at night. The result was the same. When this scent was mixed with the pollutants, moths’ visits dropped. Some moths even never found a single flower during the tests. Besides, the same reactions could hurt flowers’ scents by day. But because sunlight can break down ozone, the problem is likely more serious for night pollinators. As Earth’s climate warms, it’s likely that a mix of pollutants will continue to climb.

TikTok users seem to think so — many have complained on the platform about makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they’re blindly following makeup trends or wearing what looks good on their faces Though “eyebrow blindness” and other types of “beauty blindness” aren’t exactly considered mental health trouble. people’s tendency to follow trends — even when they look silly or take risks doing so — is definitely a real phenomenon. So, what does psychology say about trend following? First, following trends isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. The reason for trend following relates to humans' core need to belong toa social group and connect with others. Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to food and shelter because humans evolved (进化) to rely on one another for survival. But why do trends themselves have such a pull? “Our brains are hardwired to notice what’s unusual,” Rutledge says. Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those bold enough to follow them. No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social groups. But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends-even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and young adults. As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their individuality. This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation (隶属关系) with socially credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends. So, next time you put on makeup or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle, consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think. “it’s really just an inborn response, one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd.” says Rutledge. 12. According to the first paragraph, a beauty blind person might________. A. oppose makeup trends publicly B. follow makeup trends uncritically C. rely on social media for makeup advice D. take risks with untested beauty products 13. What’s a primary motivation of trend following? A. Financial profit. B. Social connection. C. Artistic expression. D. Character weakness. 14. Which can best replace the underlined words “exempt from” in paragraph 4? A. Free of. B. Subject to. C. Exposed to. D. Concerned about. 15. What might Rutledge think of trend following? A. It’s a personalized choice. B. It mirrors people's mental health C. It results from lack of self-confidence. D. It’s a natural response to social signals 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 What Does Our Body Language Reveal ___16___ People tend to judge us far more on our physical appearance, including our mannerisms, than by what comes out of our mouths. To give the right impression, it’s important to understand what we are conveying non-verbally and how our unconscious signals are being received by the people we interact with. Smiling is a powerful tool in your body language collection. Perhaps you smile a lot in the hope of appearing friendly. ___17___ In some Asian cultures, smiling too much is seen as a signal that you’re not a serious person and may lose you some respect. If you’re trying to hide nervousness you’d better avoid smiling too much, too. Also be aware that nervous people often hug themselves, rub their forehead, and shift their body weight from one foot to another to create a slight rocking motion. ___18___ If you’re trying to show that you are listening sympathetically to what someone has to say, try tipping your head slightly and nodding very slightly. This gesture implies you are listening with interest. If you’re talking to someone and a third person joins, turn your body towards them slightly to include them and make them feel valued. ___19___ A single nod of the head is also a strong gesture of coolness when listening to another person. To build trust quickly? Try mirroring. Adopting a similar stance (站姿) to the person you are engaged with indicates your interest and helps develop trust. Use this with caution, though. ___20___ Mirroring only works when they don’t realize what you’re doing. A Don’t obviously copy your companion. B. Our body language speaks volumes about us. C. Control these habits to appear more composed. D. Our body language barely overshadows our verbal communication. E. Just be aware that it might make you seem less professional at work. F. We tend to position our body and feet toward the person of interest to us. G. By contrast, a failure to angle your body towards them implies “Unwelcome”. 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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Seven years after a terrible fall left me paralyzed, here I was, with my two teammates, on the way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnajökull glacier, unsupported and unassisted.

I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team’s criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events. The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡) , anticipation building up with each tick of the clock. Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with “I’m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon, I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer. “Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’t make the debate team.” She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story. “No, really, I wasn’t picked,” I told her, handing her the letter. Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying. The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn’t deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained. “I’m the best fit for the team,” I protested. “See, Jenny, complaining won’t get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look. 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。 I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5:ABBCB 6-10:CABBC 11-15:ACCAB 16-20:AABCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
