Establishing more nature reserves. 【答案】17. B 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】W: The world is getting warmer. According to an analysis by NASA scientists, the average global temperature increases roughly at a rate of 0.15 to 0.20℃ every ten years. What is going to happen if our planet continues to heat up? Well, normally, the average global temperature should be around 35℃ during summer time. When it gets 2℃ higher, the crop output will start to decrease, people will become easy to feel sick, and mass deaths of coral reefs will begin to occur in oceans. When it comes to 39℃ to 41℃, sea water will drown most of the island countries, people will have to choose to grow sunflowers which can survive in salty soil, and oceans will be crowded with dead bodies of sea creatures. At the average global temperature of 42℃, people will get almost nothing from land anymore, and therefore the remaining orders of the modern society will break down eventually. So is it still possible to save us human species from dying out? Well, I don’t know, but if we could begin to do things like using less private cars, unplugging the unused electrical devices, protecting the forests, etc. from now on, maybe we still have a chance. 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 Whether you plan to head out to the theater or binge from the couch, our critics have gathered together their favorite films of 2024. Have at it! Flow Near the outset of Gints’ exquisite animated feature, a grey cat is swept up by a flood, finding itself stuck with a few other animals on a tiny ark of sorts. Featuring cross-species cooperation in the face of a climate crisis, the filmmaker works miracles with computer graphics sending what look like hand-drawn animals into photorealistic backgrounds. Article 20 Article 20 is a thought-provoking film. It focuses on a legal clause and unfolds a series of events and conflicts around it. The story delves into the impact of this article on different individuals and society, exploring themes of justice, rights, and human nature. With its engaging plot and profound meaning, it prompts the audience to reflect on various aspects of the law and life. The Room Next Door In Pedro Almodovar’s latest, Martha (Tilda Swinton) and Ingrid (Julianne Moore) are long lost friends who reconnect after Martha is diagnosed with a terminal illness. The director has adapted Sigrid Nunez’s novel What Are You Going Through for his first English-language feature, and none of his renowned sensibilities are lost in translation. Tuesday Julia Louis-Dreyfus gives a career-best performance as Zora, a single mother living with her terminally ill daughter Tuesday. One day, Tuesday is visited by death in the form of a talking parrot who can change size, voiced in a magnificent baritone by Arinze Kene. Zora tries everything to keep him at bay, but is forced to confront her greatest fear. 21. Who might the film Flow be intended for? A. Animal-lovers. B. Techno-fans. C. Adults. D. Kids. 22. Which film tends to stay true to the original? A. Flow. B. Artical 20. C. The Room Next Door. D. Tuesday. 23. What might be the text? A. A movie report. B. A review of 2024 movies. C. A movie recommendation. D. An academic movie study. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了几部2024年的电影。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Near the outset of Gints’ exquisite animated feature, a grey cat is swept up by a flood, finding itself stuck with a few other animals on a tiny ark of sorts. Featuring cross-species cooperation in the face of a climate crisis, the filmmaker works miracles with computer graphics sending what look like hand-drawn animals into photorealistic backgrounds.(在Gints这部精致的动画片的开头，一只灰猫被洪水卷走，发现自己和其他几只动物被困在了一个类似小方舟的地方。影片展现了在气候危机面前跨物种的合作，导演用计算机图形创造了奇迹，将看似手绘的动物融入了逼真的背景中)”可推知，电影《Flow》的剧情围绕动物在气候危机中的合作展开，且明确提到跨物种合作。动画形式虽可能吸引儿童，但影片主题（气候危机、生存困境）和视觉风格（将手绘动物融入真实背景）更偏向成人或对动物议题感兴趣的观众。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The director has adapted Sigrid Nunez’s novel What Are You Going Through for his first English-language feature, and none of his renowned sensibilities are lost in translation.(导演将Sigrid Nunez的小说《你正在经历什么》改编成了他的首部英语长片，他著名的细腻情感在翻译过程中丝毫没有丢失)”可知，《隔壁房间》这部电影倾向于忠实于原著。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether you plan to head out to the theater or binge from the couch, our critics have gathered together their favorite films of 2024. Have at it.(无论你是打算去电影院还是窝在沙发上看电影，我们的影评人都为你精选了2024年他们最喜欢的电影。尽情享受吧)”和下文对四部电影的具体介绍可推测出，这篇文章是一篇电影推荐。故选C。 B “Thank you for your email. I have left to pursue my dream of crocheting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office on a permanent, indefinite, open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy.” A Chinese student studying in the UK said her tutor, who quit education to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica, has been generating buzz online. The charitable act of knitting sweaters for penguins is, in fact, a real initiative. A major oil spill occurred in the waters off the Phillip Island in Australia in the late 1990s, severely affecting local penguins who saw their population shrink over two breeding seasons. When little penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, and swallowing it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food. In response, the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a public welfare campaign, calling on enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the freezing penguins during the process of rehabilitation. In 2001, another major oil spill occurred in the waters near Phillip Island, with a total of 438 penguin’s. affected. 96%were successfully rescued and released back into the wild with the help of the Penguin Foundation and these sweaters. However, some people argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra weight to the penguins’ bodies, or cause them to overheat. The Penguin Foundation explained that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover. Sweaters for penguins must be crafted from wool and follow specific knitting guidelines. Numerous sweaters that have failed to meet the standards have been repurposed for toy penguins. By selling toy penguins wearing these sweaters, the Penguin Foundation raises fund for the wildlife on Phillip Island. 24. What is the direct impact of the oil spill on penguins? A. They are unable to prey. B. Their feathers are spoiled. C. They are left to extreme cold. D. They have trouble in swallowing. 25. Why are the numbers listed in Paragraph 5? A. To show the severity of the oil spill. B. To illustrate the achievement of the campaign. C. To explain the serious conditions of the penguins. D. To add some background information of the oil spill 26. What can we learn about the sweaters from the last paragraph? A. Many of them go to waste. B. They are highly impractical. C. Their production is demanding. D. They solved the problems for good. 27. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. An initiative generates buzz on the Internet. B. A major oil spill took place on Phillip Island. C. A tutor quits to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. D. The Penguin Foundation asked for more penguin sweaters. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位导师为了帮助被石油泄漏伤害的企鹅，辞职去为企鹅织毛衣。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When little penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, and swallowing it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.(当小企鹅被石油污染时，它们会试图梳理羽毛，清理羽毛上的有毒石油，吞咽有毒石油可能会杀死它们。它还会损害它们脆弱的羽毛，使它们的皮肤暴露在极端温度下，它们会变得又冷又重，无法游泳或觅食)”可知，石油泄漏对企鹅的直接影响是导致它们的羽毛被破坏了。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2001, another major oil spill occurred in the waters near Phillip Island, with a total of 438 penguin’s. affected. 96%were successfully rescued and released back into the wild with the help of the Penguin Foundation and these sweaters.(2001年，菲利普岛附近海域发生了另一起重大石油泄漏事件，共有438只企鹅遇难。受到影响。在企鹅基金会和这些毛衣的帮助下，96%的企鹅成功获救并被放归野外)”可知，第5段列出了这些数字是为了说明运动的成就。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sweaters for penguins must be crafted from wool and follow specific knitting guidelines. Numerous sweaters that have failed to meet the standards have been repurposed for toy penguins. By selling toy penguins wearing these sweaters, the Penguin Foundation raises fund for the wildlife on Phillip Island.(企鹅的毛衣必须用羊毛制作，并遵循特定的编织指南。许多不符合标准的毛衣被用来制作玩具企鹅。通过出售穿着这些毛衣的玩具企鹅，企鹅基金会为菲利普岛的野生动物筹集了资金)”可知，这种毛衣的生产要求很高。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“A Chinese student studying in the UK said her tutor, who quit education to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica, has been generating buzz online. The charitable act of knitting sweaters for penguins is, in fact, a real initiative.(一名在英国留学的中国学生表示，她的导师在网上引起了热议。她的导师中途辞职，去南极洲为企鹅织毛衣。事实上，为企鹅织毛衣的慈善行为是一项真正的倡议)”结合文章主要讲述了一位导师为了帮助被石油泄漏伤害的企鹅，辞职去为企鹅织毛衣。可知，这篇文章的主旨是一位导师辞职去给南极洲的企鹅织毛衣。故选C。 C Perhaps the oldest advice in self-help books over the past two decades is that we should not be afraid to fail. Failure is held up as a motivator and a learning experience. And there are certainly a lot of examples of prominent successful people who overcame failure on their pathway to riches, fame, and glory. But, there are still a number of open questions about failure that are worth addressing. Do we generally believe that people learn from failures? Do people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were explored in a fascinating paper in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Kaitlin Woolley in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. In the study, they asked the participants to estimate the chance that someone who has taken a licensing exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed will pass on their next attempt. These questions are interesting, because the actual rates of success are known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 58% for teachers). In each case participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers). The results of the studies suggest that observers overestimate people’s likelihood of success following a failure, and this is due (at least in part) to the assumption that after someone fails they will change their behavior to do more things to help them succeed in the future. This suggests that the typical advice we give about failure needs some revision. People can learn from failure, but they need more explicit instruction about how to do that, because they often will not do it on their own. When someone fails to achieve a goal important to them, it is important for them to recognize that without significant effort to change their behavior, they are likely to fail again in the future. People should not be afraid to try something for fear they should fail, but when they do fail, they have to work to ensure that they learn from that failure in order to succeed later. 28. Why are three questions raised in Paragraph 2? A. To prove that failure is valuable. B. To introduce General to readers. C. To encourage readers to address problems. D. To push readers to think more about failure. 29. What are the participants required to do in the study? A. To take the exams. B. To comment on the performance. C. To analyse the results. D. To rate the chance of success. 30. What advice does the author give in the end? A. Persisting in your dream. B. Learning to be independent. C. Setting more explicit goals. D. Trying to make a difference. 31. Which would be the best title? A. Tips on facing failure. B. Apparently, failure is overrated. C. Failure teaches success. D. Undobtedly, hard work pays off. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述过去二十年自助书籍常强调失败的积极意义，但研究显示人们高估失败后成功的可能性，实际上人们从失败中学习需明确指导，关于失败的建议应修正 。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“But, there are still a number of open questions about failure that are worth addressing. Do we generally believe that people learn from failures? Do people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were explored in a fascinating paper in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Kaitlin Woolley in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.(但是，关于失败仍然有许多值得探讨的开放性问题。我们是否普遍认为人们能从失败中学习？人们实际上真的能从失败中学习吗？为什么能或为什么不能？这些问题在 2024 年劳伦·埃斯克莱斯-温克勒和凯特琳·伍利发表在《实验心理学杂志：综合》上的一篇引人入胜的论文中进行了探讨。)”以及后文通过研究回答这些问题的内容可知，提出这三个问题是因为关于失败有很多值得探讨的点，其目的是促使读者对失败进行更多的思考。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“In the study, they asked the participants to estimate the chance that someone who has taken a licensing exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed will pass on their next attempt.(在这项研究中，他们要求参与者估计那些参加了成为律师、护士或教师的资格考试但未通过的人在下次尝试时通过的可能性。)”可知，参与者被要求评估成功的几率。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When someone fails to achieve a goal important to them, it is important for them to recognize that without significant effort to change their behavior, they are likely to fail again in the future. People should not be afraid to try something for fear they should fail, but when they do fail, they have to work to ensure that they learn from that failure in order to succeed later.(当有人未能实现对他们来说重要的目标时，重要的是他们要认识到，如果不付出巨大努力去改变自己的行为，他们未来很可能会再次失败。人们不应该因为害怕失败而不敢尝试某件事，但当他们确实失败时，他们必须努力确保从失败中学习，以便日后成功。)”可知，作者建议人们失败后要努力改变行为，从失败中学习，也就是要努力做出改变。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第四段“The results of the studies suggest that observers overestimate people’s likelihood of success following a failure, and this is due (at least in part) to the assumption that after someone fails they will change their behavior to do more things to help them succeed in the future.(研究结果表明，观察者高估了人们在失败后成功的可能性，这（至少部分）是由于他们认为，在某人失败后，他们会改变行为，做更多的事情来帮助他们在未来取得成功。)”可知，文章开篇提到过去二十年自助书籍中常说不应害怕失败，失败是激励和学习经历，但后面通过研究表明人们高估了失败后成功的可能性，还指出人们虽能从失败中学习，但需要明确指导，不能自行做到，说明人们对失败的看法存在高估的情况。所以B项“Apparently, failure is overrated.(显然，失败被高估了)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D The wide difference in health outcomes across the world are neither new nor unknown. From differences in life expectancy to uneven access to quality healthcare, the so-called “Health Gap” is a persistent, troubling display of inequality. People living in low-and middle-income countries are far more likely to die prematurely from preventable and treatable causes than those in wealthier nations. Severe differences in health outcomes also persist within countries, cutting along socioeconomic, racial, and geographic lines. Closing these health gaps is both a moral and practical imperative because every human being has a right to a healthy, dignified life; practical because health inequalities impose substantial economic and social costs. Health inequalities could cost the U. S. economy approximately $320 billion annually and rise to $1 trillion by 2040 if not addressed. These figures underscore the need for systemic solutions that look at the root causes. Artificial intelligence has entered the scene as a new tool in the endeavor to remake the health system. Broadly speaking, pattern recognition and personalized care are the two buckets of interest in that context. AI applications can detect diseases-often earlier and more accurately than humans-tailor treatments to individual patients, and support healthcare professionals in managing complex cases. Beyond clinical settings, AI-driven analyses of large datasets-from hospital records to socioeconomic indicators-can highlight at-risk communities, helping policymakers and health organizations allocate resources more effectively. By identifying underserved areas and populations least likely to access preventive services, AI can guide targeted community interventions, mobile clinics, health education programs, and other initiatives to close the health gap. While the potential is immense, AI’s effectiveness in closing the health gap depends on more than just technological advancement. AI must be deliberately tailored, trained, tested, and targeted to bring out the best in and for people and the planet. This means anchoring AI development and deployment (部署) in a whole understanding of humans, and the environment they evolve in. It also involves the design of ethical frameworks, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and 360-degree strategies that systematically bring out the complementarity of AI and NI (National Insurance), including the knowledge, experience, and intuition of humans. 32. Which of the following ones may be a reason for “Health Gap”? A. Unequal opportunity to get healthcare. B. Insufficient attention to health C. Different historical background. D. Inappropriate treatments. 33. What does the underlined word “underscore” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Emphasize. B. Understate. C. Satisfy. D. Delay. 34. What benefit can AI bring to us according to the passage? A. Cure rare diseases accurately. B. Monitor people’s health efficiently C. Do complex surgeries independently. D. Distribute resources equally 35. What can we do to make AI work for us better? A. Keep up with the times. B. Make overall consideration. C. Learn from prior experience. D. Observe existing regulations. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了世界各地健康结果的巨大差异，即“健康差距”，以及人工智能在缩小这一差距中的潜在作用。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。第一段提到“From differences in life expectancy to uneven access to quality healthcare, the so-called ‘Health Gap’ is a persistent, troubling display of inequality.(从预期寿命的差异到获得优质医疗服务的不平等，所谓的‘健康差距’是一种持续存在、令人不安的不平等现象。)”可知，获得医疗保健的机会不平等是“健康差距”的原因之一。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Health inequalities could cost the U. S. economy approximately $320 billion annually and rise to $1 trillion by 2040 if not addressed.(健康不平等问题可能会使美国经济每年损失约3200亿美元，如果不加以解决，到2040年这一损失可能会飙升至1万亿美元。)”可知，这些数据强调了需要从根源上寻找系统性解决方案的必要性，由此可知，“underscore”在此处意为“强调”。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“AI applications can detect diseases-often earlier and more accurately than humans-tailor treatments to individual patients, and support healthcare professionals in managing complex cases.(人工智能应用可以比人类更早、更准确地检测疾病，为个体患者量身定制治疗方案，并支持医疗专业人员管理复杂病例。)”和第四段“By identifying underserved areas and populations least likely to access preventive services, AI can guide targeted community interventions, mobile clinics, health education programs, and other initiatives to close the health gap.(通过识别服务不足的地区和最不可能获得预防服务的人群，人工智能可以指导有针对性的社区干预、流动诊所、健康教育项目和其他倡议，以缩小健康差距。)”可知，人工智能可以帮助有效监测人们的健康。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This means anchoring AI development and deployment in a whole understanding of humans, and the environment they evolve in. It also involves the design of ethical frameworks, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and 360-degree strategies that systematically bring out the complementarity of AI and NI (National Insurance), including the knowledge, experience, and intuition of humans.(这意味着要将人工智能的开发和部署建立在对人类及其所处环境的全面理解之上。这还包括设计伦理框架、跨学科合作和360度战略，系统地发挥人工智能和国民保险（包括人类的知识、经验和直觉）的互补性。)”可知，为了让人工智能更好地为我们服务，我们需要全面考虑。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s nothing like the end of the year to bring up a lot of different feelings. Stress, anxiety, anticipation, excitement, and dread are some examples of emotions that people feel when they realize it is fast approaching. ____36____ There are some common reasons for feeling year-end anxiety. For example, realizing we have goals and experiences we didn’t get to, feeling like we’re running out of time to do the things that matter, and anticipating end-of-the-year social obligations and responsibilities. How to cope with it? Reflect on the positive experiences you had and acknowledge the wins from this past year. ____37____ When we’re so busy and wrapped up in what’s next, we quickly dismiss the good.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了应对年终焦虑的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“There’s nothing like the end of the year to bring up a lot of different feelings. Stress, anxiety, anticipation, excitement, and dread are some examples of emotions that people feel when they realize it is fast approaching.(没有什么比年末更能让人产生不同的感受了。压力、焦虑、期待、兴奋和恐惧是人们意识到它即将到来时所感受到的情绪的一些例子)”以及后文“There are some common reasons for feeling year-end anxiety. For example, realizing we have goals and experiences we didn’t get to, feeling like we’re running out of time to do the things that matter, and anticipating end-of-the-year social obligations and responsibilities. How to cope with it? (年终焦虑有一些常见的原因。例如，意识到我们有目标和经历，我们没有达到，感觉我们没有时间做重要的事情，并期待年底的社会义务和责任。如何应对？)”可知，上文提到年末让人焦虑，后文提到了常见原因，推测本句是在说明年终时感到焦虑、情绪化是正常表现。故G选项“在年终的时候变得更加自我反省和情绪化是很正常的”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Reflect on the positive experiences you had and acknowledge the wins from this past year.(回顾一下过去一年的积极经历，承认过去一年的成功)”以及后文“When we’re so busy and wrapped up in what’s next, we quickly dismiss the good. So list your best memories, proudest moments, and small-to-big wins from this year so far.(当我们如此忙碌，被接下来的事情所包围时，我们很快就忽略了美好的事物。所以，列出今年到目前为止你最美好的回忆，最骄傲的时刻，以及从小到大的胜利)”可知，本句主要说明我们忽略了美好的事物，故E选项“我们很容易忘记自己曾经拥有的积极经历”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Recall the goals or experiences you hoped to have this year. Be clear on what you think you should do and what you genuinely want to do.(回忆一下你今年希望实现的目标或经历。弄清楚你认为你应该做什么，你真正想做什么)”以及后文“It’s liberating to just accept that not everything you hoped for will happen and that is okay. To tackle it, choose one to two things you want to turn your attention to and can do.(接受并不是你所希望的一切都会发生，这是一种解脱，这没关系。为了解决这个问题，选择一到两件你想要转移注意力并且可以做的事情)”可知，在回忆自己的目标和经历的时候，可以接受所发生的事情，即允许自己放弃一些想要的事物。故B选项“允许自己暂时放弃一些”符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Rather than wait until next year to “restart”, take action now. Just make plans and reach out to friends. Tell them what you’re excited about and what you plan to do.(与其等到明年再“重启”，不如现在就采取行动。制定计划，向朋友寻求帮助。告诉他们你对什么感到兴奋，你打算做什么)”可知，后文提到现在就采取行动，制定计划，即本段的主旨是立即去做和自己计划有关的事情，故C选项“今天做一件与你的目标有关的事”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Besides, helpful mindset may shift to feel less anxious. Hence, avoid the rigid attitude that if you don’t get something done by December 31 then all hope is lost.(此外，乐于助人的心态可能会转变为不那么焦虑。因此，不要抱着“如果你在12月31日之前没有完成某件事，那么所有的希望就都破灭了”的刻板态度)”以及后文“Being understanding and forgiving yourself will help you keep going with the precious time that remains this year.(理解和原谅自己会帮助你在今年剩下的宝贵时间里继续前进)”可知，要理解和原谅自己，说明不应该有刻板态度，要善待自我。故A选项“相反，要善待自己”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。 Friends Yuri Williams and Rodney Smith Jr, spend the weeks leading up to new year crisscrossing the country.

Unfortunately, his father passed away when Li was 14, which left the burden of supporting the family all on the shoulders of the emaciated mother. Although haunted by the loss of her husband, his mother never showed her vulnerability in front of Li. Instead, she was more devoted to Li than ever before. Ultimately, Li came of age. He thought it was time to shift the heavy burden from his mother to himself. Actually, a plan arose in his mind-he wanted to be a delivery driver. But Li knew very well that his family couldn’t afford a truck, so he had to bury his dream deep inside. But his mother sensed that. Therefore, his mother secretly made a big decision! On Li’s 20th birthday, his mother gave him a gift he had always been longing fora pickup truck. It was truly a surprise to Li! Eyes glued to the very truck, tears swirling in his eyes, he could imagine the scene that his mother raised money everywhere to get him the gift! Unable to utter a word, Li just hugged his mother tight for quite a while. With the help of this pickup truck, Li’s career took off. His diligence, capability and sincerity contributed to the promotion of his family’s living conditions. Li settled in the city for the convenience of his work. Besides, Li no longer had to drive the pickup truck, as he managed to buy a luxury car. But Li knew how much the pickup meant to him, so he kept it in his garage and took care of it gingerly. Soon after, Li intended to take his elderly mother to the city, but his mother declined, stating that she preferred to stay in their hometown, where she had been accustomed to the living environment. Therefore, Li had to give up the idea. Despite his tight schedule, he stuck to regularly visiting his mother. 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。 Paragraph 1: One day, he learned from TV that a flood was striking his hometown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Li hurried to the garage and was about to rush into his luxury car when he glimpsed his old pickup truck. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One day, he learned from TV that a flood was striking his hometown. His heart skipped a beat as he thought of his mother staying alone in the village. He immediately dialed his mother’s number, but to no avail. Worried sick, he decided to drive back to his hometown without delay. He knew he had to be there with his mother, offering her support and comfort. The thought of her facing the disaster alone made his chest tight with anxiety. Li hurried to the garage and was about to rush into his luxury car when he glimpsed his old pickup truck. Memories of his mother’s selfless sacrifice and unwavering support flooded back. He hesitated for a moment, then made a quick decision. He chose to drive the pickup truck instead. It was not just a vehicle; it was a symbol of his mother’s love and his journey of growth. As he drove, he felt a deep connection to his past, present, and future. This pickup truck had been with him through thick and thin, and he couldn’t abandon it now, especially when it came to something as important as being there for his mother. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了李出生在一个偏远的村庄，尽管贫穷，但他有一个温暖快乐的童年。在李的20岁生日那天，他的母亲给了他一份他一直渴望的礼物——一辆小货车。在这辆小货车的帮助下，李的事业起飞了，此后，李再也不用开小货车了，因为他买了一辆豪华轿车。某天他从电视上得知家乡正在遭受洪水袭击，赶回家寻找母亲，这时他再次看到了小货车，想起了母亲的付出，决定再次开小货车。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，他从电视上得知家乡正在遭受洪水袭击”可知，第一段可描写李开车回家乡寻找母亲，给她支持和安慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“李急忙跑到车库，正要冲进他的豪车，这时他瞥见了他的旧皮卡”可知，第二段可描写李选择开小货车以及感悟。 2.续写线索：得知遭遇洪水——拨打电话——电话没人接——要回家乡——看到小货车——再次开小货车——李感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想起：think of/recall ②提供：offer/provide ③选择：choose to/make the choice of 情绪类 ①担心：worried/concerned ②焦虑：anxiety/angst 【点睛】[高分句型1] His heart skipped a beat as he thought of his mother staying alone in the village.

Have at it! Flow Near the outset of Gints’ exquisite animated feature, a grey cat is swept up by a flood, finding itself stuck with a few other animals on a tiny ark of sorts. Featuring cross-species cooperation in the face of a climate crisis, the filmmaker works miracles with computer graphics sending what look like hand-drawn animals into photorealistic backgrounds. Article 20 Article 20 is a thought-provoking film. It focuses on a legal clause and unfolds a series of events and conflicts around it. The story delves into the impact of this article on different individuals and society, exploring themes of justice, rights, and human nature. With its engaging plot and profound meaning, it prompts the audience to reflect on various aspects of the law and life. The Room Next Door In Pedro Almodovar’s latest, Martha (Tilda Swinton) and Ingrid (Julianne Moore) are long lost friends who reconnect after Martha is diagnosed with a terminal illness. The director has adapted Sigrid Nunez’s novel What Are You Going Through for his first English-language feature, and none of his renowned sensibilities are lost in translation. Tuesday Julia Louis-Dreyfus gives a career-best performance as Zora, a single mother living with her terminally ill daughter Tuesday. One day, Tuesday is visited by death in the form of a talking parrot who can change size, voiced in a magnificent baritone by Arinze Kene. Zora tries everything to keep him at bay, but is forced to confront her greatest fear. 21. Who might the film Flow be intended for? A. Animal-lovers. B. Techno-fans. C. Adults. D. Kids. 22 Which film tends to stay true to the original? A. Flow. B. Artical 20. C. The Room Next Door. D. Tuesday. 23. What might be the text? A. A movie report. B. A review of 2024 movies. C. A movie recommendation. D. An academic movie study. B “Thank you for your email. I have left to pursue my dream of crocheting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office on a permanent, indefinite, open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy.” A Chinese student studying in the UK said her tutor, who quit education to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica, has been generating buzz online. The charitable act of knitting sweaters for penguins is, in fact, a real initiative. A major oil spill occurred in the waters off the Phillip Island in Australia in the late 1990s, severely affecting local penguins who saw their population shrink over two breeding seasons. When little penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, and swallowing it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food. In response, the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a public welfare campaign, calling on enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the freezing penguins during the process of rehabilitation. In 2001, another major oil spill occurred in the waters near Phillip Island, with a total of 438 penguin’s. affected. 96%were successfully rescued and released back into the wild with the help of the Penguin Foundation and these sweaters. However, some people argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra weight to the penguins’ bodies, or cause them to overheat. The Penguin Foundation explained that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover. Sweaters for penguins must be crafted from wool and follow specific knitting guidelines. Numerous sweaters that have failed to meet the standards have been repurposed for toy penguins. By selling toy penguins wearing these sweaters, the Penguin Foundation raises fund for the wildlife on Phillip Island. 24. What is the direct impact of the oil spill on penguins? A. They are unable to prey. B. Their feathers are spoiled. C. They are left to extreme cold. D. They have trouble in swallowing. 25. Why are the numbers listed in Paragraph 5? A. To show the severity of the oil spill. B. To illustrate the achievement of the campaign. C. To explain the serious conditions of the penguins. D. To add some background information of the oil spill 26. What can we learn about the sweaters from the last paragraph? A. Many of them go to waste. B. They are highly impractical. C. Their production is demanding. D. They solved the problems for good. 27. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. An initiative generates buzz on the Internet. B. A major oil spill took place on Phillip Island. C. A tutor quits to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. D. The Penguin Foundation asked for more penguin sweaters. C Perhaps the oldest advice in self-help books over the past two decades is that we should not be afraid to fail. Failure is held up as a motivator and a learning experience. And there are certainly a lot of examples of prominent successful people who overcame failure on their pathway to riches, fame, and glory. But, there are still a number of open questions about failure that are worth addressing. Do we generally believe that people learn from failures? Do people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were explored in a fascinating paper in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Kaitlin Woolley in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. In the study, they asked the participants to estimate the chance that someone who has taken a licensing exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed will pass on their next attempt. These questions are interesting, because the actual rates of success are known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 58% for teachers). In each case participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers). The results of the studies suggest that observers overestimate people’s likelihood of success following a failure, and this is due (at least in part) to the assumption that after someone fails they will change their behavior to do more things to help them succeed in the future. This suggests that the typical advice we give about failure needs some revision. People can learn from failure, but they need more explicit instruction about how to do that, because they often will not do it on their own. When someone fails to achieve a goal important to them, it is important for them to recognize that without significant effort to change their behavior, they are likely to fail again in the future. People should not be afraid to try something for fear they should fail, but when they do fail, they have to work to ensure that they learn from that failure in order to succeed later. 28. Why are three questions raised in Paragraph 2? A. To prove that failure is valuable. B. To introduce General to readers. C. To encourage readers to address problems. D. To push readers to think more about failure. 29. What are the participants required to do in the study? A. To take the exams. B. To comment on the performance. C. To analyse the results. D. To rate the chance of success. 30. What advice does the author give in the end? A. Persisting in your dream. B. Learning to be independent. C. Setting more explicit goals. D. Trying to make a difference. 31. Which would be the best title? A. Tips on facing failure. B. Apparently, failure is overrated. C. Failure teaches success. D. Undobtedly, hard work pays off. D The wide difference in health outcomes across the world are neither new nor unknown. From differences in life expectancy to uneven access to quality healthcare, the so-called “Health Gap” is a persistent, troubling display of inequality. People living in low-and middle-income countries are far more likely to die prematurely from preventable and treatable causes than those in wealthier nations. Severe differences in health outcomes also persist within countries, cutting along socioeconomic, racial, and geographic lines. Closing these health gaps is both a moral and practical imperative because every human being has a right to a healthy, dignified life; practical because health inequalities impose substantial economic and social costs. Health inequalities could cost the U. S. economy approximately $320 billion annually and rise to $1 trillion by 2040 if not addressed. These figures underscore the need for systemic solutions that look at the root causes. Artificial intelligence has entered the scene as a new tool in the endeavor to remake the health system. Broadly speaking, pattern recognition and personalized care are the two buckets of interest in that context. AI applications can detect diseases-often earlier and more accurately than humans-tailor treatments to individual patients, and support healthcare professionals in managing complex cases. Beyond clinical settings, AI-driven analyses of large datasets-from hospital records to socioeconomic indicators-can highlight at-risk communities, helping policymakers and health organizations allocate resources more effectively. By identifying underserved areas and populations least likely to access preventive services, AI can guide targeted community interventions, mobile clinics, health education programs, and other initiatives to close the health gap. While the potential is immense, AI’s effectiveness in closing the health gap depends on more than just technological advancement. AI must be deliberately tailored, trained, tested, and targeted to bring out the best in and for people and the planet. This means anchoring AI development and deployment (部署) in a whole understanding of humans, and the environment they evolve in. It also involves the design of ethical frameworks, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and 360-degree strategies that systematically bring out the complementarity of AI and NI (National Insurance), including the knowledge, experience, and intuition of humans. 32. Which of the following ones may be a reason for “Health Gap”? A. Unequal opportunity to get healthcare. B. Insufficient attention to health C. Different historical background. D. Inappropriate treatments. 33. What does the underlined word “underscore” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Emphasize. B. Understate. C. Satisfy. D. Delay. 34. What benefit can AI bring to us according to the passage? A. Cure rare diseases accurately. B. Monitor people’s health efficiently C. Do complex surgeries independently. D. Distribute resources equally 35. What can we do to make AI work for us better? A. Keep up with the times. B. Make overall consideration. C. Learn from prior experience. D. Observe existing regulations. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s nothing like the end of the year to bring up a lot of different feelings.

Unfortunately, his father passed away when Li was 14, which left the burden of supporting the family all on the shoulders of the emaciated mother. Although haunted by the loss of her husband, his mother never showed her vulnerability in front of Li. Instead, she was more devoted to Li than ever before. Ultimately, Li came of age. He thought it was time to shift the heavy burden from his mother to himself. Actually, a plan arose in his mind-he wanted to be a delivery driver. But Li knew very well that his family couldn’t afford a truck, so he had to bury his dream deep inside. But his mother sensed that. Therefore, his mother secretly made a big decision! On Li’s 20th birthday, his mother gave him a gift he had always been longing fora pickup truck. It was truly a surprise to Li! Eyes glued to the very truck, tears swirling in his eyes, he could imagine the scene that his mother raised money everywhere to get him the gift! Unable to utter a word, Li just hugged his mother tight for quite a while. With the help of this pickup truck, Li’s career took off. His diligence, capability and sincerity contributed to the promotion of his family’s living conditions. Li settled in the city for the convenience of his work. Besides, Li no longer had to drive the pickup truck, as he managed to buy a luxury car. But Li knew how much the pickup meant to him, so he kept it in his garage and took care of it gingerly. Soon after, Li intended to take his elderly mother to the city, but his mother declined, stating that she preferred to stay in their hometown, where she had been accustomed to the living environment. Therefore, Li had to give up the idea. Despite his tight schedule, he stuck to regularly visiting his mother. 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。 Paragraph 1: One day, he learned from TV that a flood was striking his hometown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Li hurried to the garage and was about to rush into his luxury car when he glimpsed his old pickup truck. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
