In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice. Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day. The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a generous check to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.” People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach, we can still make a difference to the lives of others. 4. What ended John’s career as a hockey player? A. Growing old. B. His business success. C. His knee condition. D. Not being interested. 5. Why did John want to play in the charity game? A. To show off his skill. B. To inspire the youth. C. To win his honor back. D.

Record-breaking fires burned in Canada and turned skies far away in New York orange and grey. The largest recorded fires in the European Union killed 19 people in Greece, and fires in western Amazonia brought dirt y air to local towns. And we just went through a super destructive wildfire season in Athens, Greece, in August 2024. A major report shows that the amount of carbon emissions (碳排放) from wildfires between 2023 and 2024 was 8.2 billion tons of CO2. Forest wildfires would release more carbon emissions, pose a higher risk to people, and take longer to recover. There is no single definition of what fire can be an extreme fire. It could be measured by burned area, intensity, or how unusual they are. “At 200 square kilometres, this year’s fires in Greece are much smaller than the 900 square kilometres burned last fire season, but it would count as an extreme fire, because of its closeness to and potential damage to people,” said author Dr Joe McNorton. When this big wildfire tears through Athens, scientists in Europe are racing to understand why extreme fires like this are becoming more common. They find climate change is the key factor. Warmer temperatures dry out forests, which make a fire more likely to spread. It can also cause more plants to grow, which provides more fuel (燃料) for the fire. Humans also influence fires, like starting them themselves, breaking up the landscape, or how well they fight them. Dr Joe says the report will both guide preparations for wildfires, and help the world understand the simple fact that fires will keep getting worse until fossil fuels are replaced with renewable energy sources. To tackle the problem, leaders should consider protecting forest boundaries, reducing the amount of natural fuel fire, imposing fire bans on high-risk days, and investing more in early warning prediction systems. 8. How is paragraph 1 developed? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By discussing solutions. D. By explaining causes. 9. Why was the fire in Greece considered as an extreme fire? A. It burned a very large area. B. It brought harmful effects. C. It had much carbon emissions. D. It lasted a long period of time. 10. What mainly causes extreme fires? A. Size of forests. B. Human behavior. C. Location of fires. D. Climate warming. 11. What does the underlined word “tackle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Apply for. B. Bring about. C. Deal with. D. Focus on. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球极端火灾频发的原因，并呼吁大家积极采取应对措施。 8题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“The conditions for some of extreme fires in recent years have become between 3 and 20 times globally. Record-breaking fires burned in Canada and turned skies far away in New York orange and grey. The largest recorded fires in the European Union killed 19 people in Greece, and fires in western Amazonia brought dirt y air to local towns. And we just went through a super destructive wildfire season in Athens, Greece, in August 2024.(近年来，全球一些极端火灾的条件已经增加了3到20倍。加拿大发生了破纪录的大火，纽约的天空变成了橙色和灰色。欧盟有记录以来最大的火灾在希腊造成19人死亡，亚马逊西部的火灾给当地城镇带来了肮脏的空气。2024年8月，我们刚刚在希腊雅典经历了一场极具破坏性的野火季节)”可知，第一段主要列举了发生极端火灾的国家或地区，所以是以举例方式展开的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“‘At 200 square kilometres, this year’s fires in Greece are much smaller than the 900 square kilometres burned last fire season, but it would count as an extreme fire, because of its closeness to and potential damage to people,’ said author Dr Joe McNorton.(Dr Joe McNorton说：‘今年希腊的火灾面积为200平方公里，比上一个火灾季节燃烧的900平方公里小得多，但由于它靠近人们并可能对人们造成伤害，因此将被视为极端火灾。’)”可知，希腊今年的火灾面积远小于上一火灾季的面积，但由于该火灾靠近人类居住区，并且可能对人们造成伤害，带来了有害的影响，因此也算是极端火灾。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They find climate change is the key factor. Warmer temperatures dry out forests, which make a fire more likely to spread. It can also cause more plants to grow, which provides more fuel (燃料) for the fire. Humans also influence fires, like starting them themselves, breaking up the landscape, or how well they fight them.(他们发现气候变化是关键因素。气温升高会使森林干涸，从而使火灾更有可能蔓延。它还可以导致更多的植物生长，从而为火灾提供更多的燃料。人类也会影响火灾，比如自己生火、破坏景观，或者他们扑灭火灾的程度)”可知，科学家发现气候变暖是造成极端火灾数量增加的关键因素。故选D项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句“To tackle the problem, leaders should consider protecting forest boundaries, reducing the amount of natural fuel fire, imposing fire bans on high-risk days, and investing more in early warning prediction systems.(为了tackle这个问题，领导人应该考虑保护森林边界，减少天然燃料火灾的数量，在高风险的日子里实施防火令，并加大对预警预测系统的投资)”可知，采取上述这些措施都是为了处理极端火灾频发的问题，因此，tackle 意为“处理”的意思。故选C项。 D Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria (细菌) to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, said that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria can be used to repair artworks. At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother, Pilar Roig, was struggling to find a good method for repairing 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes—one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Pilar Roig noted how difficult the repair process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) used to remove the paintings from the walls in the 1960s. The glue was nearly impossible to remove completely. “My mother had a very difficult problem to solve and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean paintings on walls in Italy,” Bosch said. Bosch added she decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. Today, she gets to work with her mother on the church repair. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations. To repair, they feed small amounts of the glue that was made from animal collagen (胶原蛋白) to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce enzymes (酶) to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae-based substance, called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. After about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free. Bosch’s mother, now 75, noted that in the past, people working on repairing artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. Bosch is now training other scientists to use a different kind of bacteria to clear walls of painted graffiti. 12. How did Bosch find the way to repair old paintings? A. Her mother inspired her. B. Her doctor instructed her. C. She tested it out by many experiments. D. She found it when preparing her paper. 13. What made it difficult to repair the old paintings? A. Not having enough money. B. The history of the churches. C. The glue that was once used. D. Experience of past failures. 14. What is paragraph 4 centered on? A. The process of cleaning the paintings. B. The necessity of repaıring the paintings. C. The challenges facing the mother-daughter team. D. The materials that are used to clean the paintings. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Bacteria Removal Process Is Widely Used in Spain. B. Spanish Scientist Uses Bacteria to Repair Artworks. C. Old Artworks Are Likely to Be Repaired with Bacteria. D. Spanish Mother-Daughter Team Discovered A Painting. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西班牙科学家Pilar Bosch如何通过细菌来修复18世纪画作。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Bosch, a microbiologist, said that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree.(Bosch是一名微生物学家，她说，她在考虑写一篇博士论文可能性时，想到了这种方法)”可知，Bosch在为她的博士论文准备资料时发现了关于用细菌修复艺术品的研究。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One reason was the glue (胶水) used to remove the paintings from the walls in the 1960s. The glue was nearly impossible to remove completely.(其中一个原因是20世纪60年代用来从墙上移除画作的胶水。胶水几乎不可能完全去除)”可知，，修复工作困难的原因之一是20世纪60年代使用的胶水很难完全去除。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To repair, they feed small amounts of the glue that was made from animal collagen (胶原蛋白) to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce enzymes (酶) to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae-based substance, called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. After about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.(为了修复，他们将少量由动物胶原蛋白制成的胶水喂给细菌。一段时间后，细菌开始自然地产生酶来分解胶水。然后，这对母女团队将细菌与一种称为凝胶的天然藻类物质混合，并将其放置在画作上。大约三小时后，除去凝胶混合物，使画作无胶)”可知，第四段详细描述了使用细菌清洗绘画的过程。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria (细菌) to repair 18th-century paintings.(西班牙科学Pilar Bosch发现了一种利用细菌修复18世纪画作的方法)”可知，文章主要介绍了西班牙科学家Pilar Bosch如何通过细菌来修复18世纪画作，所以题目“西班牙科学家用细菌修复艺术品”与本文的主题吻合，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 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。 Running mistakes can happen to everyone at some point during training and racing, and they will lead to injuries. ___16___ . Wearing the wrong shoes Wearing a comfortable pair of running shoes is a good, starting point. The wrong type of running shoes can ruin your workout plan. If you have a history of running injuries, there is no easy answer without a trained professional watching the way you run and making a recommendation to you. ___17___ . Doing too much, too soon ___18___ . They get so excited about their running that they do too much mileage (英里里程) and too fast, too soon, without taking any time off to rest and recover. As a result, they develop common overuse running injuries. Run less often, for shorter times, and at a slower pace than you think you should, especially early on in your development. Taking overly long strides (大步) Some runners think that a longer stride will improve their speed or running efficiency, but that’s not the case. Overstriding wastes energy since it means you’ re breaking with each footfall. Make sure that you don’t lunge forward with your feet and your feet are directly underneath your body with every step. ___19___ . A short, low arm swing is the key to keeping your stride short and close to the ground. ___20___ Some runners swing their arms side-to-side, which makes them more likely to not breathe as efficiently. Some beginners are easy to hold their hands way up by their chest, especially as they get tired. You’ll actually feel more tired in your shoulders and neck by holding your arms that way. Try to keep your hands at waist level, right about where they might lightly brush your hip. A. Landing like a rock B. Having bad upper body form C. This is especially important when running downhill D. You can choose the right shoes in advance to start that race E. Therefore, it’s important to know what they are and how you can fix them F. If possible, the best choice is to create unique shoes just suitable for your feet G. Many new runners mistakenly think that more is better when it comes to running 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了跑步中常犯错误及如何避免。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Running mistakes can happen to everyone at some point during training and racing, and they will lead to injuries. (每个人在训练和比赛过程中都会出现跑步错误，并且会导致受伤。)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出了解跑步错误的重要性。故E选项“因此，了解它们是什么以及如何解决它们是很重要的”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Wearing a comfortable pair of running shoes is a good, starting point. The wrong type of running shoes can ruin your workout plan. If you have a history of running injuries, there is no easy answer without a trained professional watching the way you run and making a recommendation to you. (穿一双舒适的跑鞋是一个好的开始。不合适的跑鞋会毁了你的锻炼计划。如果你有跑步受伤的历史，没有训练有素的专业人士观察你跑步的方式并向你提出建议，没有简单的答案。)”可知，上文提到需要专业人士推荐合适的跑鞋，说明要选择适合自己脚的鞋子。故F选项“如果可能的话，最好的选择是制作适合你脚的独特鞋子”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据标题“Doing too much, too soon (做得太多，太快)”以及后文“They get so excited about their running that they do too much mileage (英里里程) and too fast, too soon, without taking any time off to rest and recover. As a result, they develop common overuse running injuries. Run less often, for shorter times, and at a slower pace than you think you should, especially early on in your development. (他们对跑步太过兴奋，以至于跑了太多的里程，跑得太快，太快，没有任何休息和恢复的时间。结果，他们产生了常见的过度使用跑步损伤。跑步的次数要少，时间要短，速度要比你认为的要慢，尤其是在开发的早期。)”可知，本段说明了许多新跑者会犯的一个错误，即一开始就跑得太多太快，故G选项“很多跑步新手错误地认为跑步越多越好”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Make sure that you don’t lunge forward with your feet and your feet are directly underneath your body with every step. (确保你的脚不要向前冲，每一步你的脚都在你身体的正下方。)”以及后文“A short, low arm swing is the key to keeping your stride short and close to the ground. (一个短而低的手臂摆动是保持你的步幅短和接近地面的关键。)”可知，上文强调跑步时的着地方式，本句需要呼应前文，同时引出下文对正确跑步姿势的进一步说明，故A选项“像石头一样落地”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据本段内容“Some runners swing their arms side-to-side, which makes them more likely to not breathe as efficiently. Some beginners are easy to hold their hands way up by their chest, especially as they get tired. You’ll actually feel more tired in your shoulders and neck by holding your arms that way. Try to keep your hands at waist level, right about where they might lightly brush your hip. (一些跑步者左右摆动手臂，这使他们更有可能不能有效地呼吸。一些初学者很容易把手举到胸部，尤其是当他们累了的时候。这样抱胳膊，你的肩膀和脖子会感觉更累。试着把你的手放在腰的水平，就在它们可能轻轻擦过你臀部的地方。)”可知，这一段主要讲述的是跑步时上半身姿势不正确的问题，包括手臂的摆动和手的位置等，故B选项“上半身姿势不正确”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。 Johnny Ward wanted to be free.

In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice. Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day. The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a generous check to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.” People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach, we can still make a difference to the lives of others. 4. What ended John’s career as a hockey player? A. Growing old. B. His business success. C. His knee condition. D. Not being interested. 5. Why did John want to play in the charity game? A To show off his skill. B. To inspire the youth. C. To win his honor back. D.

C The conditions for some of extreme fires in recent years have become between 3 and 20 times globally. Record-breaking fires burned in Canada and turned skies far away in New York orange and grey. The largest recorded fires in the European Union killed 19 people in Greece, and fires in western Amazonia brought dirt y air to local towns. And we just went through a super destructive wildfire season in Athens, Greece, in August 2024. A major report shows that the amount of carbon emissions (碳排放) from wildfires between 2023 and 2024 was 8.2 billion tons of CO2. Forest wildfires would release more carbon emissions, pose a higher risk to people, and take longer to recover. There is no single definition of what fire can be an extreme fire. It could be measured by burned area, intensity, or how unusual they are. “At 200 square kilometres, this year’s fires in Greece are much smaller than the 900 square kilometres burned last fire season, but it would count as an extreme fire, because of its closeness to and potential damage to people,” said author Dr Joe McNorton. When this big wildfire tears through Athens, scientists in Europe are racing to understand why extreme fires like this are becoming more common. They find climate change is the key factor. Warmer temperatures dry out forests, which make a fire more likely to spread. It can also cause more plants to grow, which provides more fuel (燃料) for the fire. Humans also influence fires, like starting them themselves, breaking up the landscape, or how well they fight them. Dr Joe says the report will both guide preparations for wildfires, and help the world understand the simple fact that fires will keep getting worse until fossil fuels are replaced with renewable energy sources. To tackle the problem, leaders should consider protecting forest boundaries, reducing the amount of natural fuel fire, imposing fire bans on high-risk days, and investing more in early warning prediction systems. 8. How is paragraph 1 developed? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By discussing solutions. D. By explaining causes. 9. Why was the fire in Greece considered as an extreme fire? A. It burned a very large area. B. It brought harmful effects. C. It had much carbon emissions. D. It lasted a long period of time. 10. What mainly causes extreme fires? A. Size of forests. B. Human behavior. C. Location of fires. D. Climate warming. 11. What does the underlined word “tackle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Apply for. B. Bring about. C. Deal with. D. Focus on. D Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria (细菌) to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, said that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria can be used to repair artworks. At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother, Pilar Roig, was struggling to find a good method for repairing 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes—one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Pilar Roig noted how difficult the repair process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) used to remove the paintings from the walls in the 1960s. The glue was nearly impossible to remove completely. “My mother had a very difficult problem to solve and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean paintings on walls in Italy,” Bosch said. Bosch added she decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. Today, she gets to work with her mother on the church repair. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations. To repair, they feed small amounts of the glue that was made from animal collagen (胶原蛋白) to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce enzymes (酶) to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae-based substance, called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. After about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free. Bosch’s mother, now 75, noted that in the past, people working on repairing artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. Bosch is now training other scientists to use a different kind of bacteria to clear walls of painted graffiti. 12. How did Bosch find the way to repair old paintings? A. Her mother inspired her. B.
