Freehand Miami For unaccompanied travelers hoping to encounter interesting people along the way, Freehand in Mid-Beach is where it’s at. This popular hotel features a number of facilities — like a pool, a garden area and free bikes. It’s also home to the award-winning cocktail (鸡尾酒) bar Broken Shaken Shaker, the perfect place for running into locals and tourists alike. The Biltmore Few hotels are as rooted in Miami’s history as The Biltmore in Coral Gables. This hotel was built by George Merrick back in 1926. Once noted as Miami’s tallest building, the hotel has hosted many distinguished celebrities. Nowadays, it’s one of the area’s highest-class luxury resorts (旅游胜地), featuring an 18-hole golf course, top tennis courts, one of the largest pools in the country and weekly history tours of the property. Mayfair House Hotel & Garden If you’re looking for a wholly different Miami experience with a tight budget, a stay at the Mayfair House Hotel & Garden in the heart of Coconut Grove should be rewarding. It opened in 1985 and was originally designed by Kenneth Treister. With its vivid in-room color designs, positively delightful details like typewriters and bathtubs, it appeals to tourists and locals alike. Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne Choosing Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne, established by Karim Alibhai, you expect to spend as much time on the sand as possible. This beachfront resort is home to the Ritz Kids program, which offers diverse activities for kids 5 through 12. With magic shows, arts & crafts, poolside games and more, your littles will be thoroughly entertained all day long while you’re free to enjoy the adult pool. 21.

History scholars interested in architecture. B Born in 1950 into an orange orchard (果园) family of seven children, Wang Xiuqi had to help with the tiring work in the orchard during his childhood. The perseverance and hard work he developed during those years would later served him well in his career as a sculptor. In middle school, Wang was especially liked by his teachers, including his fine arts teacher and her husband, who was a professor of fine arts at a university. After school, Wang often learned sketching (素描) skills from this artist couple, which gave him motivation for his future artistic ambitions. Wang majored in sculpture at his university in the 1970s and stood out among his classmates. His choice of stone carving as a profession was based on his childhood experiences growing up in the mountains. He loved to catch fish in the streams with his friends and often moved stones to create small pools. While playing with rocks of different sizes, shapes, and textures (质地), he often imagined them as living figures or animals, and that promoted a sense of closeness and connection to his material. Wang’s creations are deeply rooted in his cultural inspiration gained from his association with things around him, focusing on the awe of nature, the importance of morality, and the love for his hometown. The language of his art is closely related to people’s hearts. Having worked as a sculptor for decades, Wang used thought to fuel inspiration and might start drafting anytime, rather than just sitting around waiting for inspiration. One of Wang’s most important works, The Heir of the Dragon, is on display at the Stone Sculpture Park. This large sculpture is 10 meters high, making it one of the largest stone sculptures in our country. Wang’s works are celebrated for his ability to grasp the essence of human nature. For Wang, the true power of sculpture lies not in its form, but in its ability to reflect the artist’s thoughts, personal experiences, and real feelings. 24. What inspired Wang to become a sculptor? A. Working in the orchard. B Landing on a proper major. C. Learning from the artist couple. D. Following his classmates’ examples. 25. What benefit did Wang get from playing with stones? A. He found a better way to earn a living. B. He raised the awareness of protecting nature. C. He developed a closer friendship with other children. D. He had a better understanding of the material in his art. 26. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Wang’s masterpieces. B. The criticism on Wang’s artworks. C. The background of Wang’s growth. D. Wang’s artistic inspiration and values. 27. Which can be used to describe Wang? A. Determined and active. B. Ambitious and brave. C. Productive and helpful. D. Strict and humorous. C Imagine being able to reproduce someone’s voice accurately with just a 15-second speech sample. That’s exactly what OpenAI has achieved. At the heart of OpenAI’s Voice Engine are AI models trained on vast amounts of speech data. These models learn to recognize and reproduce the unique characteristics of a person’s voice, from their tone to their accent. By analyzing just a short sample of someone’s speech, the AI can generate a new voice that sounds remarkably like the original speaker. It’s a demonstration to the power of machine learning and the rapid advancement of generative AI. Once the AI model has learned to reproduce a person’s voice, it can be used to generate speech from any text input. This is where text-to-speech technology comes into play. OpenAI’s Voice Engine uses advanced systems to transform written text into natural-sounding speech, complete with appropriate stops, intonation (语调), and emphasis. The result is a voice that’s almost indistinguishable from a human speaker. With voice cloning tech getting better and easier to grab, it’s super important that we chat about the perquisites and also the not-so-great stuff that comes with it. There are many exciting potential uses for voice cloning technology, from creating personalized voice assistants to generating realistic dialogue for video games and cartoons. It could also be used to preserve the voices of loved ones or historical figures. Of course, with any powerful technology comes the potential for misuse. One major concern about voice cloning is the possibility of illegal activity, such as using someone’s voice without their permission for poor intentions. So it’s important that we develop strategies to take the edge off the risks of voice cloning technology. OpenAI chose to keep this powerful tool under wraps before it announced bringing it to the table recently, for it had to take safety in use into account. Its guarded rollout of their Voice Engine is a step in the right direction, and sets an important example for other companies working on similar technologies. 28. What plays a key role in voice cloning? A. AI models. B. Original speakers. C. Speech samples. D. Voice data. 29. What kind of voice is produced through the text-to-speech technology? A. A voice from wild nature. B. A voice with fixed intonation. C. A voice nearly identical to that of human speakers. D. A voice different from samples of human speeches. 30. What does the underlined word “perquisites” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Consequences. B. Tendencies. C. Products. D. Bonuses. 31. Which of the following is implied in the last paragraph? A. Better early than late. B. Better be sure than sorry. C. Better half an egg than empty shell. D. Better ask twice than lose your way once. D Rapa Nui, sometimes called “Easter Island”, is an island in the Pacific Ocean. One of its most beloved natural features is the toromiro tree, which is a tough plant known for its ability to float (漂浮). It does well in severe situations where many other plants can’t. About 35,000 years ago, the toromiro tree came to Rapa Nui. It became an important part of the island’ s palm (棕榈) tree forests, making the area more ecologically diverse. It gave many species a place to live in and the supplies they needed. The yellow flowers on the toromiro tree made the scenery look nice, and people loved having it in the wild. The Rapa Nui people used the heart-shaped red wood of the toromiro tree to carve important cultural items. When Polynesians came to Rapa Nui in the 12th century, they brought new ways of doing things and tools. They made huge Moai stone figures and used the trunks of palm trees without any branches as rollers to move them to the specific location, which destroyed the forests, including the toromiro tree. When Europeans came to Rapa Nui, they brought animals not native to the island, harming its environment. Three kinds of rats ate the seeds of the toromiro tree, making it much less likely for the seeds to grow new shoots. The number of the toromiro tree dropped sharply because of this. By 1911, the toromiro tree almost went extinct. Currently, botanists and people who protect the environment are taking measures to keep toromiro trees alive. They started projects to grow more of them because they were so rare and culturally significant. Today, toromiro trees are mainly found in gardens outside of their natural environment. Botanists and scientists have worked hard to preserve toromiro trees and try to grow more. To do this, they had to gather seeds and plant young trees in these safe protected places. Besides, they launched campaigns to make people aware of toromiro trees’ value and the importance of protecting them. 32. What can we say about the toromiro tree? A. It was the most plentiful plant on the island. B. Diverse species supplied living conditions for it. C. People on the island depended mainly on it for a living. D. It made contributions to the island’s culture and ecosystem. 33. What sped up the loss of the toromiro tree? A. The poor quality of the seeds. B. The terrible natural environment. C. The disturbing activities of locals. D. The introduction of foreign species. 34. What is the present situation of toromiro trees? A. It is unattainable to collect their seeds. B. It is challenging to protect them in the wild. C. A great many of them have appeared in nature. D. Their numbers in the wild have bounced back. 35. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Magic Species on Easter Island B. Final Ending of the Toromiro Tree C. The Toromiro Tree: The Treasure of Rapa Nui D. Easter island: An Amazing Island in the Pacific Ocean 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。 Confidence is a rare gift that sets individuals apart.

She was born with the gift of hospitality (好客). She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She needed backyard furniture for the party and ordered three picnic tables from a furniture store. The delivery driver set one of the tables down in her front yard by mistake. Considering those two tables in the backyard would be enough for the party, she decided to leave this one where it was, just a few feet from the sidewalk. After the party, she painted the table green — her favorite color. That green table became the place where Tina and her kids hung out. Activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games and ate snacks at the table. “We became front yard people,” Tina said. More neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Construction workers on jobs in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by sat down to rest. Tina invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she said. The green table was inviting and had a shared feel. In real life, people often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their houses are not big enough, too messy, or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Tina said. Her picnic table took away the excuses — and the pressure. It was a good way to meet all the new neighbors and get familiar with the whole community. 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。 Then Tina was considering launching a movement called Green Tables. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, more and more neighbors joined her in setting a green table in the yard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 英语模拟试题 注意事项： 1.本试卷满分150分，考试时间150分钟。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名及考号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑， 如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

B. To ensure the participants’ safety. C. To keep quiet on the ancient streets. 19. What was the original purpose of starting the race? A. To serve the Olympic Games. B. To show the French service feature. C. To attract people to work in restaurants. 20. What did each winner receive? A. A cash award. B. A ticket to the Olympics. C. A night’s stay in a superb hotel. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】The cafe waiters’ race in Paris was held on March 24-four months before the city hosted the Olympic Games. The waiters wore waiter uniforms provided by organizers. No running is allowed, because they each held a plate with a cake, a coffee and a glass of water over a two-kilometer route through the ancient streets of the Marais district-all, hopefully, without getting a drop out of the container. The 200 contestants started and finished the race at city hall by the Seine River. The waiters’ race was originally started to highlight this French style of service. “We want the Olympic Games to give a positive boost to the profession of restaurants and waitering,” said Nicolas, a mayor responsible for business. Men’s winner Samy and top waitress Pauline walked the two-kilometer route in 13 minutes 30 seconds and 14 minutes 12 seconds respectively. As well as their medals, both winners received a night’s stay in a high-class hotel. 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 Here, we give you a variety of options on where to lay your head at night in Miami.

The perseverance and hard work he developed during those years would later served him well in his career as a sculptor. In middle school, Wang was especially liked by his teachers, including his fine arts teacher and her husband, who was a professor of fine arts at a university. After school, Wang often learned sketching (素描) skills from this artist couple, which gave him motivation for his future artistic ambitions. Wang majored in sculpture at his university in the 1970s and stood out among his classmates. His choice of stone carving as a profession was based on his childhood experiences growing up in the mountains. He loved to catch fish in the streams with his friends and often moved stones to create small pools. While playing with rocks of different sizes shapes, and textures (质地), he often imagined them as living figures or animals, and that promoted a sense of closeness and connection to his material. Wang’s creations are deeply rooted in his cultural inspiration gained from his association with things around him, focusing on the awe of nature, the importance of morality, and the love for his hometown. The language of his art is closely related to people’s hearts. Having worked as a sculptor for decades, Wang used thought to fuel inspiration and might start drafting anytime, rather than just sitting around waiting for inspiration. One of Wang’s most important works, The Heir of the Dragon, is on display at the Stone Sculpture Park. This large sculpture is 10 meters high, making it one of the largest stone sculptures in our country. Wang’s works are celebrated for his ability to grasp the essence of human nature. For Wang, the true power of sculpture lies not in its form, but in its ability to reflect the artist’s thoughts, personal experiences, and real feelings. 24. What inspired Wang to become a sculptor? A. Working in the orchard. B. Landing on a proper major. C. Learning from the artist couple. D. Following his classmates’ examples. 25. What benefit did Wang get from playing with stones? A. He found a better way to earn a living. B. He raised the awareness of protecting nature. C. He developed a closer friendship with other children. D. He had a better understanding of the material in his art. 26. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Wang’s masterpieces. B. The criticism on Wang’s artworks. C. The background of Wang’s growth. D. Wang’s artistic inspiration and values. 27. Which can be used to describe Wang? A. Determined and active. B. Ambitious and brave. C. Productive and helpful. D. Strict and humorous. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了雕塑家王秀杞的成长经历及创作。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“After school, Wang often learned sketching (素描) skills from this artist couple, which gave him motivation for his future artistic ambitions. (放学后，王经常向这对艺术家夫妇学习素描技巧，这给了他未来艺术抱负的动力。)”可知，从那对艺术家夫妇那里学习素描技能给了他追求艺术抱负的动力，激励他成为一名雕塑家。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While playing with rocks of different sizes, shapes, and textures (质地), he often imagined them as living figures or animals, and that promoted a sense of closeness and connection to his material. (在玩不同大小、形状和质地的岩石时，他经常把它们想象成活生生的人物或动物，这增强了他与材料的亲密感和联系。)”可知，玩石头使他对他的艺术材料有了更好的理解。故选D项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Wang’s creations are deeply rooted in his cultural inspiration gained from his association with things around him, focusing on the awe of nature, the importance of morality, and the love for his hometown. The language of his art is closely related to people’s hearts. Having worked as a sculptor for decades, Wang used thought to fuel inspiration and might start drafting anytime, rather than just sitting around waiting for inspiration. (王的创作深深植根于他与周围事物的联系中获得的文化灵感，注重对自然的敬畏、道德的重要性和对家乡的热爱。他的艺术语言与人们的心灵息息相关。作为一名雕塑家，王已经工作了几十年，他用思想来激发灵感，并可能随时开始画画，而不是只是坐在那里等待灵感。)”可知，王的创作深深植根于他与周围事物的联系中所获得的文化灵感，关注对自然的敬畏、道德的重要性和对家乡的热爱。他的艺术语言与人们的心灵密切相关。作为一名工作了几十年的雕塑家，他用思考来激发灵感，随时都可能开始起草。所以本段讲述王的艺术灵感和价值观。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Born in 1950 into an orange orchard (果园) family of seven children, Wang Xiuqi had to help with the tiring work in the orchard during his childhood. The perseverance and hard work he developed during those years would later served him well in his career as a sculptor. (1950年，王秀杞出生在一个有七个孩子的橘子园家庭，他小时候不得不在果园里帮忙做累人的工作。他在那些年里培养的毅力和努力工作后来对他作为雕塑家的职业生涯起到了很好的作用。)”可知，王是意志坚定的；再根据第三段中“Having worked as a sculptor for decades, Wang used thought to fuel inspiration and might start drafting anytime, rather than just sitting around waiting for inspiration. (作为一名雕塑家，王已经工作了几十年，他用思想来激发灵感，并可能随时开始画画，而不是只是坐在那里等待灵感。)”可知，他是主动寻找灵感的人。故选A项。 C Imagine being able to reproduce someone’s voice accurately with just a 15-second speech sample. That’s exactly what OpenAI has achieved. At the heart of OpenAI’s Voice Engine are AI models trained on vast amounts of speech data. These models learn to recognize and reproduce the unique characteristics of a person’s voice, from their tone to their accent. By analyzing just a short sample of someone’s speech, the AI can generate a new voice that sounds remarkably like the original speaker. It’s a demonstration to the power of machine learning and the rapid advancement of generative AI. Once the AI model has learned to reproduce a person’s voice, it can be used to generate speech from any text input. This is where text-to-speech technology comes into play. OpenAI’s Voice Engine uses advanced systems to transform written text into natural-sounding speech, complete with appropriate stops, intonation (语调), and emphasis. The result is a voice that’s almost indistinguishable from a human speaker. With voice cloning tech getting better and easier to grab, it’s super important that we chat about the perquisites and also the not-so-great stuff that comes with it. There are many exciting potential uses for voice cloning technology, from creating personalized voice assistants to generating realistic dialogue for video games and cartoons. It could also be used to preserve the voices of loved ones or historical figures. Of course, with any powerful technology comes the potential for misuse. One major concern about voice cloning is the possibility of illegal activity, such as using someone’s voice without their permission for poor intentions. So it’s important that we develop strategies to take the edge off the risks of voice cloning technology. OpenAI chose to keep this powerful tool under wraps before it announced bringing it to the table recently, for it had to take safety in use into account. Its guarded rollout of their Voice Engine is a step in the right direction, and sets an important example for other companies working on similar technologies. 28. What plays a key role in voice cloning? A. AI models. B. Original speakers. C. Speech samples. D. Voice data. 29. What kind of voice is produced through the text-to-speech technology? A. A voice from wild nature. B. A voice with fixed intonation. C. A voice nearly identical to that of human speakers. D. A voice different from samples of human speeches. 30. What does the underlined word “perquisites” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Consequences. B. Tendencies. C. Products. D. Bonuses. 31. Which of the following is implied in the last paragraph? A. Better early than late. B. Better be sure than sorry. C. Better half an egg than empty shell. D. Better ask twice than lose your way once. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了OpenAI最近公布了语音克隆新技术，通过使用一个短时音频样本，人工智能可以生成听起来非常像原始说话者的新声音，它还能将文本生成与原始说话者非常相似的自然语音。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At the heart of OpenAI’s Voice Engine are AI models trained on vast amounts of speech data. These models learn to recognize and reproduce the unique characteristics of a person’s voice, from their tone to their accent.( OpenAI的语音引擎的核心是基于大量语音数据训练的AI模型。这些模型能够学习并重现一个人声音的独特特征，包括其语调和口音)”可知，在语音克隆中起关键作用的是AI模型。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The result is a voice that’s almost indistinguishable from a human speaker.(结果是产生的声音几乎与人类说话者无法区分)”可知，通过文本转语音技术产生的声音几乎与人类说话者的声音相同。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“There are many exciting potential uses for voice cloning technology, from creating personalized voice assistants to generating realistic dialogue for video games and cartoons.(声音克隆技术有许多令人兴奋的潜在用途，从创建个性化语音助手到为视频游戏和动画片生成逼真的对话)”可知，这里在列举声音克隆技术的好处或优势。因此，划线的“perquisites”一词很可能指的是“好处”或“优势”。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“OpenAI chose to keep this powerful tool under wraps before it announced bringing it to the table recently, for it had to take safety in use into account. Its guarded rollout of their Voice Engine is a step in the right direction, and sets an important example for other companies working on similar technologies.(OpenAI在最近宣布推出这个强大的工具之前，选择将其保密，因为它必须考虑使用的安全性。其谨慎地推出Voice Engine是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，并为其他从事类似技术的公司树立了重要榜样)”可知，OpenAI在推出Voice Engine时非常谨慎，考虑了使用的安全性。这暗示了“小心不出大事，安全胜过遗憾”的道理。故选B。 D Rapa Nui, sometimes called “Easter Island”, is an island in the Pacific Ocean. One of its most beloved natural features is the toromiro tree, which is a tough plant known for its ability to float (漂浮). It does well in severe situations where many other plants can’t. About 35,000 years ago, the toromiro tree came to Rapa Nui. It became an important part of the island’ s palm (棕榈) tree forests, making the area more ecologically diverse. It gave many species a place to live in and the supplies they needed. The yellow flowers on the toromiro tree made the scenery look nice, and people loved having it in the wild. The Rapa Nui people used the heart-shaped red wood of the toromiro tree to carve important cultural items. When Polynesians came to Rapa Nui in the 12th century, they brought new ways of doing things and tools. They made huge Moai stone figures and used the trunks of palm trees without any branches as rollers to move them to the specific location, which destroyed the forests, including the toromiro tree. When Europeans came to Rapa Nui, they brought animals not native to the island, harming its environment. Three kinds of rats ate the seeds of the toromiro tree, making it much less likely for the seeds to grow new shoots. The number of the toromiro tree dropped sharply because of this. By 1911, the toromiro tree almost went extinct. Currently, botanists and people who protect the environment are taking measures to keep toromiro trees alive. They started projects to grow more of them because they were so rare and culturally significant. Today, toromiro trees are mainly found in gardens outside of their natural environment. Botanists and scientists have worked hard to preserve toromiro trees and try to grow more. To do this, they had to gather seeds and plant young trees in these safe protected places. Besides, they launched campaigns to make people aware of toromiro trees’ value and the importance of protecting them. 32. What can we say about the toromiro tree? A. It was the most plentiful plant on the island. B. Diverse species supplied living conditions for it. C. People on the island depended mainly on it for a living. D. It made contributions to the island’s culture and ecosystem. 33. What sped up the loss of the toromiro tree? A. The poor quality of the seeds. B. The terrible natural environment. C. The disturbing activities of locals. D. The introduction of foreign species. 34. What is the present situation of toromiro trees? A. It is unattainable to collect their seeds. B. It is challenging to protect them in the wild. C. A great many of them have appeared in nature. D. Their numbers in the wild have bounced back. 35. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Magic Species on Easter Island B. Final Ending of the Toromiro Tree C. The Toromiro Tree: The Treasure of Rapa Nui D. Easter island: An Amazing Island in the Pacific Ocean 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了复活节岛的独有物种托罗密罗树曾给当地人们带来很多好处，但由于外来者带来的鼠类的侵害，托罗密罗树一度处于将近灭绝的境地。现阶段托罗密罗树已受到专业保护。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It became an important part of the island’ s palm (棕榈) tree forests, making the area more ecologically diverse. It gave many species a place to live in and the supplies they needed. The yellow flowers on the toromiro tree made the scenery look nice, and people loved having it in the wild. The Rapa Nui people used the heart-shaped red wood of the toromiro tree to carve important cultural items.(它成为了岛上棕榈树林的重要组成部分，使该地区的生态更加多样化。它为许多物种提供了栖息地和所需的资源。托罗密罗树上的黄花让风景更加美丽，人们喜欢它在野外自然生长的样子。拉帕努伊人用托罗密罗树的心形红木雕刻重要的文化物品。)”可推知，托罗密罗树对岛上的文化和生态做出了贡献。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When Europeans came to Rapa Nui, they brought animals not native to the island, harming its environment. Three kinds of rats ate the seeds of the toromiro tree, making it much less likely for the seeds to grow new shoots. The number of the toromiro tree dropped sharply because of this.(当欧洲人来到拉帕努伊岛时，他们带来了岛上原本没有的动物，对当地环境造成了破坏。三种老鼠啃食托罗蜜罗树的种子，大大降低了种子长出新芽的可能性。因此，托罗蜜罗树的数量急剧下降。)”可知，非本地物种的引进加速了托罗密罗树的消失。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today, toromiro trees are mainly found in gardens outside of their natural environment. Botanists and scientists have worked hard to preserve toromiro trees and try to grow more. To do this, they had to gather seeds and plant young trees in these safe protected places.(如今，托罗蜜罗树主要生长在自然环境之外的花园中。植物学家和科学家们为保护托罗蜜罗树并尝试种植更多这种树付出了巨大努力。为此，他们不得不收集种子，并在这些安全受保护的地方种植幼苗。)”可推知，在野外很难保护托罗密罗树。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章介绍了复活节岛的独有物种托罗密罗树曾给当地人们带来很多好处，但由于外来者带来的鼠类的侵害，托罗密罗树一度处于将近灭绝的境地。现阶段托罗密罗树已受到专业保护。C项“托罗密罗树：拉帕努伊岛上的瑰宝”适合作文章标题。故选C。 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。 Confidence is a rare gift that sets individuals apart.

She was born with the gift of hospitality (好客). She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She needed backyard furniture for the party and ordered three picnic tables from a furniture store. The delivery driver set one of the tables down in her front yard by mistake. Considering those two tables in the backyard would be enough for the party, she decided to leave this one where it was, just a few feet from the sidewalk. After the party, she painted the table green — her favorite color. That green table became the place where Tina and her kids hung out. Activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games and ate snacks at the table. “We became front yard people,” Tina said. More neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Construction workers on jobs in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by sat down to rest. Tina invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she said. The green table was inviting and had a shared feel. In real life, people often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their houses are not big enough, too messy, or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Tina said. Her picnic table took away the excuses — and the pressure. It was a good way to meet all the new neighbors and get familiar with the whole community. 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。 Then Tina was considering launching a movement called Green Tables. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, more and more neighbors joined her in setting a green table in the yard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then Tina was considering launching a movement called Green Tables. She envisioned a neighborhood where every front yard had a green table, a symbol of community and togetherness. She started with her own street, giving a speech at the next community meeting about the magic of the green table and how it had transformed her family’s life. The residents were interested in the idea, and soon, inquiries turned into commitments. The first few tables popped up, each one symbolizing a small victory. Finally, more and more neighbors joined her in setting a green table in the yard. The movement spread quickly, green tables emerging like seeds in the front yards of Austin. Each table had its own story, its own unique shade of green, but all shared the same purpose — bringing people together. The tables became a symbol of unity, a place where strangers became friends over a cup of coffee, where children played freely. Tina was happy that she was able to take a small step and make her community a harmonious place. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tina一家搬到新居后，为了与邻居建立联系，她举办了一场派对，并因此误打误撞地在前院留下了一张野餐桌。这张被涂成绿色的野餐桌随后成为了Tina一家和邻居们聚集、交流的地方，不仅促进了Tina一家与邻居之间的互动，也让整个社区的氛围变得更加融洽。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然后，Tina考虑发起一场名为“绿桌子”的运动。”可知，第一段可描写Tina组织“绿桌子”运动的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，越来越多的邻居加入了她，在院子里摆上了绿桌子。”可知，第二段可描写“绿桌子”运动对社区产生的积极影响。 2.续写线索：提出设想——发表演讲——“绿桌子”运动兴起——产生积极影响——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①以……开始：start with/begin with ②做演讲：give a speech/deliver a speech ③把……变成：turn…into…/transform…into… ④出现：pop up/turn up 情绪类 ①对……感兴趣：be interested in/take an interest in ②高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1]She envisioned a neighborhood where every front yard had a green table, a symbol of community and togetherness.（运用了where引导定语从句） [高分句型2]She started with her own street, giving a speech at the next community meeting about the magic of the green table and how it had transformed her family’s life.（运用了how引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
