However, when it comes to outdoor activities, whether you’re relaxing at the lake or hanging out in the backyard, you need to pay attention to the weather. To make sure that you’re prepared for the upcoming July, here’s the first week’s forecast for the entire country. If you live in the northeastern part, you’ve probably been using the air conditioning to fight heat waves in the past week. Fortunately, the discomfort of extreme heat will ease. There will be some spotty thunderstorms on their way. And temperatures will likely drop below 21℃. The Midwest is often called flyover country, but it might be the best place to celebrate the holiday. AccuWeather reports that the majority of the region will experience cool temperatures with sunny skies. Sadly, for residents in the South, I suggest you reschedule your outdoor plans. The Weather Channel reports that parts of the South, specifically along the Gulf of Mexico, will see thunderstorms this week. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Best Bike Share Programs Lyft Available in seven markets through a number of individually branded (名牌的) providers, Lyft’s bike share program includes both traditional and electric bicycles that can be accessed through the Lyft mobile app or a number of city-specific apps.

In her four-chapter series called “The Pigment Change”, rather than developing photos on photographic paper, she printed them directly onto plants. “I just put a negative (底片) on top of the leaf and leave it to the sunlight, and then the image gets recorded on the leaf,” Romero said. “I also print on living plants using a digital projector, and the plant makes photosynthesis (光合作用) with the light from the projector and records an image.” Romero, who was raised in Madrid, used to spend holidays on her grandparents’ farm in Valencia, in eastern Spain. “When you grow close to nature, it becomes a really important thing in your life,” she said. “Plants for me are important, partly because of my family and because as a photographic material, they’re impressive in quality,” But she admitted that her eco-friendly technique wouldn’t work for all artists. “It produces short-lived pieces, so it’s a lot more difficult to be financially sustainable when your art is short-lived, but I guess it’s also depending on how you understand life and what you want to do with your practice,” she explained. “Plants have been around for way longer than us on the planet and they have succeeded in doing that without causing any extinction.” 24. What can we know about Romero from the first paragraph? A. She was raised by her grandma. B. She has lived in the countryside for five years. C. She was questioned by audiences. D. She has been fond of plants since childhood. 25. What are Romero’s artworks intended for? A. Including like-minded people. B. Showing technological advances. C. Promoting eco-friendly values. D. Limiting the use of digital devices. 26. Which word best describes the process of Romero creating artworks? A. Innovative. B. Stressful. C. Fast-paced. D. Intensive. 27. What does Romero imply about her technique in the last paragraph? A. It has gained popularity among all artists. B. It’s subject to artists’ view of life and goals. C. It’s an effective solution to climate change. D. It makes it easy to be financially sustainable. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了西班牙艺术家Almudena Romero自幼热爱植物，她将摄影作品冲印在植物叶片上，开辟一种环保、新颖的艺术形式。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Spanish artist Almudena Romero knew from a young age that she loved plants(西班牙艺术家Almudena Romero从很小的时候就知道她喜欢植物)”可知，Romero从小喜爱植物。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, with her inclusion in exhibitions in London and Paris, she’s showing her unique plant-based art that’s pushing audiences to question their hyper-consumerism while showing that it’s possible to create art in an eco-friendly manner.(现在，随着她在伦敦和巴黎的展览，她展示了她独特的植物艺术，这促使观众质疑他们的超消费主义，同时表明以环保的方式创作艺术是可能的)”可知，Romero的摄影作品旨在倡导环保理念。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段，尤其是“In her four-chapter series called ‘The Pigment Change’, rather than developing photos on photographic paper, she printed them directly onto plants.(在她名为‘The Pigment Change’的四章系列中，她不是在相纸上冲洗照片，而是直接将照片印在植物上)”可推知，Romero冲印照片的过程颇具创意。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“but I guess it’s also depending on how you understand life and what you want to do with your practice(但我想这也取决于你如何理解生活，以及你想用你的实践做什么)”可推知，Romero意在表明她的艺术创作方法取决于艺术家对待生命的态度和创作目的。故选B。 C Through conversations and hands-on learning opportunities, nearly 250 youths from across New York state learned about different career paths at the annual 4-H Career Explorations Conference, hosted by Cornell and New York State 4-H on campus during June 26 — 28. “I’m here because I want to excite my interests in different careers like biomedical engineering, since I plan on pursuing a career in the future in engineering,” said Jada Murphy, a senior high school student from Haverstraw, New York, “This event has helped me get a feel of what my surroundings and learning environment might be like.” Cornell teaching staff and graduate students led programs in two tracks. In the University U track, for those in grades 8 and 9, students rotated(轮班) through workshops in fields such as mental health, climate-smart farming, fitness and nutrition. In the Focus for Teens track, students entering grades 10 through 12 selected one of 12 programs in fields such as media design, psychology research and food science. In Emerson Hall, 15 young people participated in “Animal Trackers: A Tech Expedition”, where they learned how researchers monitor the movements of domestic and wild animals, led by Susan Hoskins, director of the Institute for Resource Information Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “We explored many ways animal movement is seen and recorded, highlighting geospatial connections,” Hoskins said, “Watching with our own eyes, using GPS location technology, creating digital maps and envisioning(展望) a positive digital future were all on the agenda.” During the closing ceremony, youth representatives from each program reflected back on their experience, detailing what was the most impactful part of each program. Many said they are enthusiastic to return to the event again next year. 28 Why did Murphy attend the 4-H event? A. To improve her language skills. B. To look for a well-paid job. C. To explore potential career options, D. To greet college freshmen. 29. How are the students divided into different tracks? A. By age. B. By major. C. By grade. D. By interest. 30. What can we infer about the program in Emerson Hall? A. It was mainly conducted in the wild. B. It offered the teens practical experiences. C. It emphasized friendship and cooperation. D. It uncovered the secret of physical fitness. 31. How did the youth representatives find the programs? A. Rewarding. B. Ordinary. C. Demanding. D. Competitive. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了康奈尔大学和纽约州4-H举办了年度4-H职业探索会，为近250名青少年提供了宝贵的职业探索和实践机会。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Jada Murphy的话“I’m here because I want to excite my interests in different careers like biomedical engineering, since I plan on pursuing a career in the future in engineering(我来这里是因为我想激发我对生物医学工程等不同职业的兴趣，因为我计划在未来从事工程方面的职业)”可知，Murphy参加4-H职业探索会是为了深入了解未来可能的职业选择。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the University U track, for those in grades 8 and 9, students rotated(轮班) through workshops in fields such as mental health, climate-smart farming, fitness and nutrition. In the Focus for Teens track, students entering grades 10 through 12 selected one of 12 programs in fields such as media design, psychology research and food science.(在大学U轨道上，对于8年级和9年级的学生来说，他们在心理健康、气候智能型农业、健身和营养等领域的研讨会之间轮换。在青少年焦点轨道中，10年级至12年级的学生在媒体设计、心理学研究和食品科学等领域的12个课程中选择其中一个。)”可知，学生根据年级划分到不同的轨道中。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““We explored many ways animal movement is seen and recorded, highlighting geospatial connections,” Hoskins said, “Watching with our own eyes, using GPS location technology, creating digital maps and envisioning(展望) a positive digital future were all on the agenda.”(Hoskins说：“我们探索了许多观察和记录动物运动的方式，强调了地理空间的联系。用我们自己的眼睛观察、使用GPS定位技术、创建数字地图和设想一个积极的数字未来都在议程上。”)”可推测出，学生在Emerson Hall的项目中可以参与实践。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Many said they are enthusiastic to return to the event again next year.(许多人表示，他们非常期待明年再次参加此次活动。)”可知，学生们非常期待明年再次参加这种活动，由此可推测出，他们觉得这个活动非常有意义。故选A。 D When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person’s brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray(PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse’s PAG. What’s the obvious conclusion? The PAG controls fight-or-flight responses of animals in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated(专用的) circuits for fighting and fleeing? People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural(神经的) circuitry? A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don’t go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight-or-fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction. All brains constantly anticipate the needs of the body and attempt to meet those needs before they arise. They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable. Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever-changing world populated with other living creatures. In an uncertain situation, your brain must gather multiple predictions with multiple action plans and maintain them for an extended time through neural activity and other brain functions. Uncertainty is a normal condition of life, but these days, with social media and round-the-clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards(轰炸) us. At every moment, there’s a crisis somewhere in the world; wars, natural disasters and other issues. Too much uncertainty can leave you feeling anxious and worn out. But these feelings don’t emerge from overtaxed fight-or-flight circuits. They may just mean your brain is trying hard to tackle something uncertain. 32. Why does the author mention the caged mouse? A. To correct a mistake. B. To introduce a photo. C. To make a comparison. D. To draw a conclusion. 33. What does the author think of the fight-or-flight idea? A. It accounts for a primary mode of the brain, B. It undervalues the brain’s predictive power. C. It best explains the animals’ neural activity. D. It can keep humans’ bad manners in check. 34. What does the underlined word “imperatives” in paragraph3 refer to? A. Something necessary. B. Something popular. C. Outdated theories. D. Emotional parts. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Our Mind Reflects the Changes in the World B. Round-the-clock News Coverage Is Dangerous C. PAG Protects Animals in Threatening Situations D. A Core Task of the Brain Is to Reduce Uncertainty 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过实验室研究发现，面对多变的外部环境，大脑的首要功能并非启动战斗或逃跑反应机制，而是通过预判以减少不确定性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person’s brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray(PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse’s PAG. What’s the obvious conclusion? The PAG controls fight-or-flight responses of animals in threatening situations.(当一个人在实验室实验中看到一张可怕的蛇的照片时，科学家们通常会在他大脑深处的中脑导水管周围灰质（PAG）区域看到电活动增加的标记。当笼中的老鼠闻到猫的气味并呆住时，科学家观察到老鼠的PAG也有类似的变化。显而易见的结论是什么？PAG控制动物在威胁情况下的战斗或逃跑反应。)”可推断，作者提及关在笼中的老鼠是为了得出一个结论——在危险情况下，PAG（中脑导水管周围灰质）可控制大脑的战斗或逃跑反应机制。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don’t go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight-or-fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction.(我实验室最近的大量证据表明，我们一生中不会不断地检测威胁，并做出战斗或逃跑反应。实际上，大脑主要通过预测而不是反应来运作。)”可推断，作者认为应急机制的观点低估了大脑的预判能力。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前面的“Like every other animal, you have basic needs.(像其他动物一样，你有基本的需求。)”和“To eat, drink(为了吃、喝)”“other”可推断，画线词imperatives指的是必要的事，与something necessary的意思最接近。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文, 尤其是第二段中的“They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable.(它们试图减少不确定性，以便在只能不完全预测的情况下生存。)”可知，作者通过实验室研究发现，面对多变的外部环境，大脑的首要功能并非启动战斗或逃跑反应机制，而是通过预判以减少不确定性，所以D项“大脑的一项核心任务是减少不确定性”符合题意。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。 In reality, some athletes at the Paris Olympics didn’t discover their sport until later in life. For example, British rower Helen Glover picked up an oar (船桨) at age 21. ____36____ . Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5K run, here are science-backed tips on how to kickstart and keep an exercise routine. ____37____ Multiple studies have shown that people are more likely to stick with the workouts they enjoy. Actually, many people start off their fitness journey with a too ambitious routine in the hope of seeing quick results—only to give up after a few weeks. So think about an exercise that makes you feel good. Give yourself a month ____38____ . According to research, this can help you build a new routine. One 2020 randomized controlled trial found that people who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. “The key to habits is repetition,” says Katy Milkman, a professor who worked on the study. “It helps you have a behavior change that lasts.” Get a workout partner There’s a reason many Olympic athletes train with partners or on larger teams. “ ____39____ ,” says Dr. Mitesh Patel, a behavioral scientist. “You’ll be less likely to break from your training plan if an exercise partner counts on you to show up.” Patel recommends reaching out to a close friend and setting a shared fitness goal. Raise the stakes (风险) with competition Can’t find an exercise partner? ____40____ . Research has shown that trying to beat someone can improve your athletic performance. In a 2020 study, 91 participants who were nonathletes were asked to compete in athletic events like 40-yard sprints (短跑). Across the board, those who competed against others had significantly faster sprint times than those who ran the distance alone. A. Learn to love exercise. B. Compete against someone. C. Pick an exercise you actually enjoy. D. Decide what you want from that person. E. Commit to about four weeks of exercise. F. Teammates help you hold yourself accountable. G. So it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. E 39. F 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文概括了关于如何开始并保持运动习惯的几点建议。 【36题详解】 根据前文“In reality, some athletes at the Paris Olympics didn’t discover their sport until later in life. For example, British rower Helen Glover picked up an oar (船桨) at age 21. (事实上，巴黎奥运会上的一些运动员直到晚年才发现自己的运动。例如，英国桨手海伦·格洛弗（Helen Glover）在21岁时就开始划桨。)”可知，此处强调巴黎奥运会上的一些运动员直到晚年才发现自己的运动，即开始运动的时间并不是决定因素，何时开启运动都不晚。G选项“So it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential.(所以发掘你的健身潜力永远都不晚。)”与上文提到的“有些巴黎奥运会的运动员也是在较晚的时候才发现自己的运动才能”相呼应，强调了开始运动的时间并不是决定因素,。故选G。 【37题详解】 设空处置于句首，应该为本段段旨。根据后文“Multiple studies have shown that people are more likely to stick with the workouts they enjoy.(多项研究表明，人们更有可能坚持他们喜欢的锻炼。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是人们更能坚持他们喜欢的锻炼。C选项“Pick an exercise you actually enjoy(选择你真正喜欢的运动)”与下文“多项研究表明，人们更有可能坚持做自己喜欢的运动”相一致，C选项能够概括本段主要内容。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据下文中“According to research, this can help you build a new routine. One 2020 randomized controlled trial found that people who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later.( 根据研究，这可以帮助你建立一个新的日常生活。2020年的一项随机对照试验发现，那些花钱锻炼28天的人可能会在10个月后继续锻炼。)”可知，此处强调坚持锻炼28天可能会形成这个锻炼的习惯。E选项“坚持运动大约四周(Commit to about four weeks of exercise)”与后文的研究内容相符合即一项2020年的随机对照试验发现，被支付28天运动费用的人很可能在10个月后继续运动，符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据前文“There’s a reason many Olympic athletes train with partners or on larger teams.( 许多奥林匹克运动员与伙伴或更大的团队一起训练是有原因的。)”可知，此处强调运动员与伙伴或更大的团队一起训练是有原因的，后文应该对该原因进行解释。F选项“Teammates help you hold yourself accountable(队友会帮助你对自己负责)”与上文提到的“许多奥运选手会和队友或更大的团队合作训练”相吻合，解释了上述的原因，符合语境。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Research has shown that trying to beat someone can improve your athletic performance.( 研究表明，试图打败别人可以提高你的运动表现。)”可知，此处强调跟别人竞赛，试图打败别人会提高自己的运动表现。B选项“Compete against someone(与他人竞争)”与下文中的内容相呼应，指出了跟别人竞争的好处，符合语境。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The sun was setting over the quiet town, casting long shadows that stretched across the streets.

It was a favorite spot for the locals, where stories were shared and friendships formed over steaming cups and tasty snacks. One rainy afternoon, a man in his early thirties named Jack entered the café. He shook the raindrops off his umbrella and looked around to find a seat. Alice, one of the regular patrons (老主顾), watched curiously as he settled into a corner table, pulling out a notebook and a pen. A waitress approached with a warm smile. “Welcome! What would you like to drink?” she asked. Jack looked up, his eyes reflecting a sense of gratitude (感激). “Just the coffee, thanks,” he replied. As days turned into weeks, Jack started frequenting The Cozy Corner. He was always alone, drinking his coffee and writing something quickly in his notebook. He rarely spoke to anyone. One day, Alice stepped into the café again, sitting at the table next to Jack’s. She was leafing through a book with a thoughtful expression, occasionally taking a look at Jack’s table. A moment later, Alice gathered her courage and approached Jack. “Excuse me,” she began hesitantly, “I couldn’t help but notice you’ve been coming here a lot. You seem to be working on something important.” Jack looked up, surprised but curious, “Yes, I suppose I am. I’m trying to write a novel.” Alice’s eyes widened, “Really? That’s amazing! I’m Alice. Actually, I love reading novels. May I ask what your story is about?” Jack paused for a moment, and then nodded, “It’s about a man who loses everything and finds himself in a new city, struggling to rebuild his life. It’s a bit of a journey of self-discovery.” “I’d love to share ideas if you’re open to them,” Alice smiled. Jack’s eyes softened, “That sounds incredible. I’d like that. Thank you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 From that day on, Jack and Alice met at the café regularly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Several months later, Jack’s novel was published. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】From that day on, Jack and Alice met at the café regularly. Alice commented on Jack’s story to better the plot. They exchanged ideas and shared their personal stories. Through their conversations, Jack revealed that he had lost his job and his home due to a series of unfortunate events. Knowing Jack’s suffering, Alice offered him support and warmth and inspired him to put his thoughts into words. The novel served as a means for Jack to reflect on his experiences and discover optimism during challenging times. Several months later, Jack’s novel was published. He announced the big news at the café, and then he turned to Alice, “I have something for you.” It was a gift box. Inside was a copy of the published novel and a handwritten note: “Your comments have been invaluable to me. This is a symbol of our journey together.” Alice was deeply touched, “Thank you, Jack. I’ll treasure this always.” Their bond grew stronger. As Jack’s writing began to gain recognition, he walked into a new chapter of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个小咖啡馆的老主顾Alice在得知一个经常独自来到咖啡馆，边喝咖啡边在笔记本上快速写着什么的男子Jack正在写小说时，非常兴奋，主动提出要和Jack分享想法。之后，他们经常在咖啡馆一起讨论故事情节，交流看法，在Alice的支持和鼓励下，Jack的小说顺利出版，得到了人们的认可，迈向了生活的新篇章，二人也建立了更加深厚的友情。 【详解】1. 段落续写。 ①由第一段首句内容“从那天起，Jack和Alice定期在咖啡馆见面。”可知，第一段可描写二人一起讨论故事，交流思想，以及Alice对Jack的鼓励和支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，Jack的小说出版了。”可知，第二段可描写小说出版后Jack对Alice的感激以及未来的发展。 2. 续写线索：定期见面——分享、讨论——支持、鼓励——小说出版——送礼物表达感激——珍惜，深厚的友情——迈向生活的新篇章 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①改善、改进：better/improve ②揭示、揭露：reveal/uncover ③激励、鼓励：inspire/encourage ④珍惜、珍视：treasure/cherish 情绪类： ①乐观、积极：optimism/positivity ②被感动、被触动：be touched/be moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】Through their conversations, Jack revealed that he had lost his job and his home due to a series of unfortunate events.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】As Jack’s writing began to gain recognition, he walked into a new chapter of life.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英 语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How did the man go to work today?

B Spanish artist Almudena Romero knew from a young age that she loved plants: “When I was about four or five, my grandma would ask, ‘What do you want for your birthday?’ And I’d say, ‘An olive tree.’” Now, with her inclusion in exhibitions in London and Paris, she’s showing her unique plant-based art that’s pushing audiences to question their hyper-consumerism while showing that it’s possible to create art in an eco-friendly manner. In her four-chapter series called “The Pigment Change” rather than developing photos on photographic paper, she printed them directly onto plants. “I just put a negative (底片) on top of the leaf and leave it to the sunlight, and then the image gets recorded on the leaf,” Romero said. “I also print on living plants using a digital projector, and the plant makes photosynthesis (光合作用) with the light from the projector and records an image.” Romero, who was raised in Madrid, used to spend holidays on her grandparents’ farm in Valencia, in eastern Spain. “When you grow close to nature, it becomes a really important thing in your life,” she said. “Plants for me are important, partly because of my family and because as a photographic material, they’re impressive in quality,” But she admitted that her eco-friendly technique wouldn’t work for all artists. “It produces short-lived pieces, so it’s a lot more difficult to be financially sustainable when your art is short-lived, but I guess it’s also depending on how you understand life and what you want to do with your practice,” she explained. “Plants have been around for way longer than us on the planet and they have succeeded in doing that without causing any extinction.” 24. What can we know about Romero from the first paragraph? A. She was raised by her grandma. B. She has lived in the countryside for five years. C. She was questioned by audiences. D. She has been fond of plants since childhood. 25. What are Romero’s artworks intended for? A. Including like-minded people. B. Showing technological advances. C. Promoting eco-friendly values. D. Limiting the use of digital devices. 26. Which word best describes the process of Romero creating artworks? A. Innovative. B. Stressful. C. Fast-paced. D. Intensive. 27. What does Romero imply about her technique in the last paragraph? A. It has gained popularity among all artists. B. It’s subject to artists’ view of life and goals. C. It’s an effective solution to climate change. D. It makes it easy to be financially sustainable. C Through conversations and hands-on learning opportunities, nearly 250 youths from across New York state learned about different career paths at the annual 4-H Career Explorations Conference, hosted by Cornell and New York State 4-H on campus during June 26 — 28. “I’m here because I want to excite my interests in different careers like biomedical engineering, since I plan on pursuing a career in the future in engineering,” said Jada Murphy, a senior high school student from Haverstraw, New York, “This event has helped me get a feel of what my surroundings and learning environment might be like.” Cornell teaching staff and graduate students led programs in two tracks. In the University U track, for those in grades 8 and 9, students rotated(轮班) through workshops in fields such as mental health, climate-smart farming, fitness and nutrition. In the Focus for Teens track, students entering grades 10 through 12 selected one of 12 programs in fields such as media design, psychology research and food science. In Emerson Hall, 15 young people participated in “Animal Trackers: A Tech Expedition”, where they learned how researchers monitor the movements of domestic and wild animals, led by Susan Hoskins, director of the Institute for Resource Information Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “We explored many ways animal movement is seen and recorded, highlighting geospatial connections,” Hoskins said, “Watching with our own eyes, using GPS location technology, creating digital maps and envisioning(展望) a positive digital future were all on the agenda.” During the closing ceremony, youth representatives from each program reflected back on their experience, detailing what was the most impactful part of each program. Many said they are enthusiastic to return to the event again next year. 28. Why did Murphy attend the 4-H event? A. To improve her language skills. B. To look for a well-paid job. C. To explore potential career options, D. To greet college freshmen. 29. How are the students divided into different tracks? A. By age. B. By major. C. By grade. D. By interest. 30. What can we infer about the program in Emerson Hall? A. It was mainly conducted in the wild. B. It offered the teens practical experiences. C. It emphasized friendship and cooperation. D. It uncovered the secret of physical fitness. 31. How did the youth representatives find the programs? A. Rewarding. B. Ordinary. C. Demanding. D. Competitive. D When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person’s brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray(PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse’s PAG. What’s the obvious conclusion? The PAG controls fight-or-flight responses of animals in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated(专用的) circuits for fighting and fleeing? People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural(神经的) circuitry? A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don’t go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight-or-fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction. All brains constantly anticipate the needs of the body and attempt to meet those needs before they arise. They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable. Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever-changing world populated with other living creatures. In an uncertain situation, your brain must gather multiple predictions with multiple action plans and maintain them for an extended time through neural activity and other brain functions. Uncertainty is a normal condition of life, but these days, with social media and round-the-clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards(轰炸) us. At every moment, there’s a crisis somewhere in the world; wars, natural disasters and other issues. Too much uncertainty can leave you feeling anxious and worn out. But these feelings don’t emerge from overtaxed fight-or-flight circuits. They may just mean your brain is trying hard to tackle something uncertain. 32. Why does the author mention the caged mouse? A. To correct a mistake. B. To introduce a photo. C. To make a comparison. D. To draw a conclusion. 33. What does the author think of the fight-or-flight idea? A. It accounts for a primary mode of the brain, B. It undervalues the brain’s predictive power. C. It best explains the animals’ neural activity. D. It can keep humans’ bad manners in check. 34. What does the underlined word “imperatives” in paragraph3 refer to? A. Something necessary. B. Something popular. C. Outdated theories. D. Emotional parts. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Our Mind Reflects the Changes in the World B. Round-the-clock News Coverage Is Dangerous C. PAG Protects Animals in Threatening Situations D. A Core Task of the Brain Is to Reduce Uncertainty 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。 In reality, some athletes at the Paris Olympics didn’t discover their sport until later in life.

It was a favorite spot for the locals, where stories were shared and friendships formed over steaming cups and tasty snacks. One rainy afternoon, a man in his early thirties named Jack entered the café. He shook the raindrops off his umbrella and looked around to find a seat. Alice, one of the regular patrons (老主顾), watched curiously as he settled into a corner table, pulling out a notebook and a pen. A waitress approached with a warm smile. “Welcome! What would you like to drink?” she asked. Jack looked up, his eyes reflecting a sense of gratitude (感激). “Just the coffee, thanks,” he replied. As days turned into weeks, Jack started frequenting The Cozy Corner. He was always alone, drinking his coffee and writing something quickly in his notebook. He rarely spoke to anyone. One day, Alice stepped into the café again, sitting at the table next to Jack’s. She was leafing through a book with a thoughtful expression, occasionally taking a look at Jack’s table. A moment later, Alice gathered her courage and approached Jack. “Excuse me,” she began hesitantly, “I couldn’t help but notice you’ve been coming here a lot. You seem to be working on something important.” Jack looked up, surprised but curious, “Yes, I suppose I am. I’m trying to write a novel.” Alice’s eyes widened, “Really? That’s amazing! I’m Alice. Actually, I love reading novels. May I ask what your story is about?” Jack paused for a moment, and then nodded, “It’s about a man who loses everything and finds himself in a new city, struggling to rebuild his life. It’s a bit of a journey of self-discovery.” “I’d love to share ideas if you’re open to them,” Alice smiled. Jack’s eyes softened, “That sounds incredible. I’d like that. Thank you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 From that day on, Jack and Alice met at the café regularly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Several months later, Jack’s novel was published. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
