It is a common problem and it is getting worse. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays and found eleven major problems and proposed ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don’t talk to each other enough. Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. More planes in the airport cause delays. Weather is another main reason for delays, which causes about 70% of delays. The first thing the FAA wants to do is to take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays. The FAA knows that their solutions will not cure the problems with airport delays, but they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes but too few traffic controllers. Questions: 11. What is FAA according to the passage? 12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a main reason for airline delays? 13. What is this passage mainly talking about?

C．Choose whichever friend knows all their in-laws D．Choose whichever friend can plan the rehearsal dinner. 19．A．The bride’s family. B．A wedding planner. C．The groom’s family. D．The new couple. 20．A．She doesn’t think it is a tradition. B．She thinks it will cost too much to have a wedding planner. C．She thinks her mother-in-law can plan the wedding well. D．She doesn’t want a stranger to plan their wedding. 【答案】17．A 18．A 19．C 20．D 【原文】W: Gosh, John, I just love being back in my hometown. It’s the perfect place to get married. M: Yeah, I guess it’s pretty good. I can’t wait for the wedding. It’s going to be a great party! W: A party? John, this wedding is supposed to be a romantic event for you and me.

M: I don’t know...but we have a pretty big wedding party and I have a really big family. W: That’s true! I don’t think I will be able to remember the names of all my in-laws. M: Don’t worry.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Why Has the Great Wall Preserved So Well? The Great Wall, a symbol of ancient civilization, stretches across northern China. Despite its grandeur, 21 remains today is only a part of its former self, due to the wear and damage caused by time and nature. However, a recent discovery reveals that nature 22 might be playing a crucial role in preserving this historical wonder. Thin layers of bacteria and other organisms, known as biocrusts, have been considered 23 (protect) sections of the Great Wall, sheltering it from wind and rain, and other destructive elements. A study published in Science Advances highlights the significant role these “living skins” play in conserving this ancient architectural marvel. 24 advances in technology and research, scientists are now exploring the potential of cultivating new biocrusts to prevent further degradation of the Wall. Nichole Barger, an ecologist, praises the study as “innovative and creative”, noting that the protective effects of biocrusts 25 (gain) increasing recognition in recent years. It is acknowledged that dryland ecosystems 26 (stabilize) and soil erosion (侵蚀) is prevented by these biological layers. 27 the more famous sections of the Great Wall are constructed from stones or bricks, other parts were built using packed soil. Yet, the same packed soils can also host biocrusts, 28 cover about 12% of the Earth’s land surface, particularly in dry regions like northern China. These biocrusts vary in form, 29 (range) from thin bacterial networks to thicker layers of lichen (青苔) . Soil scientist Bo Xiao from the China Agricultural University, along with his colleagues, conducted a study to investigate the role of biocrusts in preserving the Great Wall. Their research revealed that biocrusts, primarily 30 (compose) of moss or bacteria, covered more than two-thirds of the Wall’s surface in the areas they examined. By studying the physical properties, they made a significant discovery. 【答案】 21．what 22．itself 23．to protect/to be protecting 24．With 25．have gained 26．are stabilized 27．While/Though/Although 28．which 29．ranging 30．composed 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了长城为什么保存得这么好的原因。 21．考查主语从句。句意：尽管它宏伟壮观，但由于时间和自然造成的磨损和破坏，今天剩下的只是它以前的一部分。该空引导主语从句（　　1　　 remains today），从句中缺乏主语，意为“……的事物”，用连接代词what。故填what。 22．考查反身代词。句意：然而，最近的一项发现表明，自然本身可能在保护这一历史奇迹方面发挥着至关重要的作用。强调“大自然本身”所扮演的角色，用反身代词itself。故填itself。 23．考查非谓语动词。句意：被称为生物结皮的薄层细菌和其他生物被认为可以保护长城的部分区域，使其免受风雨和其他破坏性因素的影响。be considered to do sth.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．available   B．informed    C． movement     D．generate    E. tourism   F. digitally G. prevent    H. marketing    I. comfort       J. vividly      K. inaccessible Have you ever longed to take a trip, but you just don’t have the time or the financial resources? If so, consider touring via virtual reality (VR), which has embraced (拥抱) 31 with open arms. This innovative technology is reshaping the way people experience destinations by breaking down geographical barriers and providing unique journeys. An AI tour is cost-effective and allows you to see the world without leaving the 32 of your living room. You might argue that you don’t have a VR headset (头戴装置), but no matter. Two travel styles are 33 : monoscopic and stereoscopic. Monoscopic VR videos can be viewed on a mobile phone or a computer. By clicking on or dragging across the screen to change the field of view, you are able to explore an entire area. Stereoscopic VR videos use VR headsets that make you feel as if you were actually present at a destination. The software in the headsets tracks your head 34 , so by just turning your head, you can explore each new scene in a more realistic way. No matter which method you choose to “travel,” these virtual travel experiences aim to give you a credible experience. Besides inspecting an area that you might want to visit but can’t, you can virtually preview a place and make more 35 decisions about it. You’re able to clearly see the exact location of a hotel or the distance from it to surrounding attractions. Make no mistake, travel agencies, hotels and destination 36 organizations are using this tool to their advantage. By creating virtual experiences, businesses can dazzle (使赞叹) their audience and 37 interest in specific destinations or accommodations. VR in tourism goes beyond leisure; it also plays a vital role in education and cultural preservation. By 38 documenting, storing and sharing its information, the nonprofit CyArk is aiding in the preservation of endangered cultural heritage sites through VR exploration. To foster a broader understanding of the world, students can now take virtual field trips to formerly 39 historical sites and cultural landmarks. People with accessibility challenges, such as those with physical disabilities or health concerns that 40 their travel, will enjoy the inclusive approach VR provides. Literally anyone can now experience an adventure, virtually! Whether you’re unable to travel, don’t have enough money or prefer to be an armchair traveler, you can still explore the world. 【答案】 31．E 32．I 33．A 34．C 35．B 36．H 37．D 38．F 39．K 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟现实(VR)技术在旅游领域的应用，包括其如何打破地理障碍，提供独特的旅行体验，以及在教育和文化保护方面的重要作用。 31．考查名词。句意：如果是这样，考虑通过虚拟现实(VR)进行旅行，它已经热情地拥抱了旅游业。根据后文“This innovative technology is reshaping the way people experience destinations”可知，这种创新技术正在重塑人们体验旅行目的地的方式，即虚拟现实已与“旅游业”相结合，用名词tourism作宾语。故选E项。 32．考查名词。句意：AI旅游成本效益高，而且让你无需离开客厅的舒适环境就能看到世界。根据后文“your living room”可知，通过虚拟现实进行旅行无需离开客厅的“舒适”环境，用名词comfort作宾语。故选I项。 33．考查形容词。句意：有两种旅行方式是可用的：单眼和双眼。根据后文“monoscopic and stereoscopic”和相关说明可知，有两种观看VR视频的方式“可用”，用形容词available作表语。故选A项。 34．考查名词。句意：头戴设备中的软件会追踪你的头部动作，所以只需转动头部，你就可以以更逼真的方式探索每个新场景。根据后文“so by just turning your head, you can explore each new scene in a more realistic way”可知，只需转动头部，就可以探索每个新场景，说明软件会追踪你的头部“动作”，用名词movement作宾语。故选C项。 35．考查形容词。句意：除了察看你可能想去但去不了的地方，你还可以虚拟地预览一个地方，并对它做出更明智的决定。根据前文“you can virtually preview a place”可知，可以先虚拟预览一个地方，再作出明智的决定，用形容词informed作定语，意为“有依据的，明智的”。故选B项。 36．考查名词。句意：毫无疑问，旅行社、酒店和目的地营销机构正在利用这一工具为他们谋利。根据前文“travel agencies, hotels and...”可知，此处列举的是与旅游相关的机构或组织，结合选项可知，用名词marketing作定语，意为“营销”；destination marketing organizations“旅行目的地营销机构”。故选H项。 37．考查动词。句意：通过创造虚拟体验，企业可以让他们的观众惊叹，并对特定的目的地或住宿产生兴趣。根据前文“By creating virtual experiences, businesses can dazzle (使赞叹) their audience”可知，通虚拟体验让观众惊叹，进而对特定的目的地或住宿“产生”兴趣，用动词generate作并列谓语，在情态动词can后用原形。故选D项。 38．考查副词。句意：通过数字化记录、存储和共享其信息，非营利组织CyArk正在通过VR探索帮助保护濒危的文化遗产地。根据后文“documenting, storing and sharing its information”可知，此处是指VR记录、存储和共享信息的方式，即“数字化地”也记录，用副词digitally修饰动词，作状语。故选F项。 39．考查形容词。句意：为了培养对世界更广泛的理解，学生现在可以通过虚拟实地考察以前无法到达的历史遗址和文化地标。根据前文“Besides inspecting an area that you might want to visit but can’t”可知，通过虚拟实地考察，现在可以去到以前“无法到达的”地方，用形容词inaccessible作定语，修饰名词词组historical sites and cultural landmarks。故选K项。 40．考查动词。句意：有行动障碍的人，如身体残疾或健康问题阻碍他们旅行的人，将享受VR提供的包容性方法。根据前文“People with accessibility challenges, such as those with physical disabilities or health concerns”可知，行动障碍会“阻碍”出行，用动词prevent作谓语。故选G项。 III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.

The book celebrates the joy of learning for its own sake, reminding readers that knowledge doesn’t need to be tied to a specific 42 to be valuable. In today’s fast-paced world, people often view education as a tool for 43 — getting good grades, securing a job, or achieving material goals. Rovelli 44 this mindset, showing that true learning is about much more than these practical objectives. It’s about broadening your mind, exploring new ideas, and finding 45 in the process. Rovelli draws on fascinating stories from science, history, and everyday life to make his point. 46 , he reflects on the revolutionary thinkers of the Renaissance (文艺复兴时期) who dared to question the belief that Earth was the center of the universe. These individuals weren’t 47 by profit or fame; they were motivated by pure curiosity and a desire to understand the world. Their discoveries didn’t just change science — they 48 how people viewed their place in the universe. Rovelli uses these examples to show that the act of learning itself can be 49 , inspiring new ways of thinking and seeing the world. Another key theme in the book is the connection between learning and wonder. Rovelli believes that curiosity is one of humanity’s greatest 50 , and he invites readers to cultivate it by exploring topics that arouse their interest. Whether it’s physics, art, philosophy, or even everyday experiences, the process of discovering something 51 can be deeply rewarding. He argues that this sense of wonder is what makes learning worthwhile — not the 52 it might bring. Rovelli also emphasizes that learning should never be limited by rules or expectations. Instead, it should be a creative, 53 journey. He encourages readers to ask big questions, follow their interests, and take time to reflect on what they learn. By doing so, he believes we can 54 a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lived. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 56．Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A．Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B．Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C．Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D．Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 57．Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A．Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B．Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C．Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D．Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 58．In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A．animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B．interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C．meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D．people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 59．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B．Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C．From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D．Horse Smell: The Magic Power 【答案】56．B 57．D 58．B 59．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者身心俱疲，因焦虑和抑郁而灰心丧气，这时遇到了一匹马费拉，在和费拉接触的过程中，作者也逐渐走出了黑暗。 56．细节理解题。根据第一段“I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now.(我身心俱疲，因焦虑和抑郁而灰心丧气。这个地方充满了生机。有昆虫、马、兔子和一只猫。她告诉我在环境中要关注自己的身体。当我生病时，我倾向于退回到我的思想中，与此时此地脱节)”可知，作者见到费拉时没有任何期待是因为作者的心态使她无法与他人交流。故选B。 57．细节理解题。根据第一段“As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart.(当我靠近菲拉时，她用鼻子蹭我的胸口，轻轻地压在我的心脏上)”以及第二段“She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way.(她通过回应我的情绪状态，并以一种开放、深情的方式反馈给我，从而与我建立联系)”可知，D选项“费拉深情地回应了作者的靠近”正确。故选D。 58．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.(在与费拉的会面中，我学会了活在当下，专注于今天、此时此刻、这个地方正在发生的事情。我学会了忘记过去，忘记所有的伤痛。我学会了忘记尚未发生的未来。有费拉在我身边，我看到了一种信任为先、同情为辅的生活。我用我自己的意念来指示她是开始，是停止，是左转还是右转，在引导她沿着一条路走的过程中，我找到了一种深深的平静。我感到一种内心的平静，甚至是喜悦。我和这匹马的工作是我灵魂深处黑暗之夜旅程的一部分)”可知，作者分享了她与费拉的经历，暗示与动物互动可以成为一种心理困扰的治疗方法。故选B。 59．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.(我和这匹马的工作是我灵魂深处黑暗之夜旅程的一部分)”结合文章主要讲述了作者身心俱疲，因焦虑和抑郁而灰心丧气，这时遇到了一匹马费拉，在和费拉接触的过程中，作者也逐渐走出了黑暗。可知，C选项“从黑暗到光明：我和费拉的旅程”最符合文章标题。故选C。 The world continues to inspire travel writers.

Humans consume to survive, of course, but in today’s world, we also consume to entertain and amuse ourselves, and as a way to share time and experiences with others. We consume not only material goods but also services, experiences, information, and cultural products. Consumption today is a central organizing principle of social life. Sociologists recognize that many aspects of our daily lives are structured by consumption. In fact, Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman wrote in the book Consuming Life that Western societies are no longer organized around the act of production, but instead, around consumption. This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information. As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book. Who can break free from it? Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. We often organize visits with others around the act of consuming, whether that be sitting down to eat a home-cooked meal as a family, or meeting friends for a shopping excursion at the mall. In addition, we often use consumer goods to express our feelings for others through the practice of gift-giving. Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities. In Subculture: The Meaning of Style, sociologist Dick Hebdige observed that identity is often expressed through fashion choices. This happens because we choose consumer goods that we feel say something about who we are. Our consumer choices are often meant to reflect our values and lifestyle, and in doing so, send visual signals to others about the kind of person we are. So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption. 63．What was the change in the United States in the mid-twentieth century? A．A shift to local production. B．A growth of overseas consumption. C．A focus on retail and services. D．A decline in the value of consumption. 64．The author presents a person’s daily life in paragraph 3 in order to ________. A．encourage people to spend more time working than consuming. B．show the variety of consumer products available on the market. C．suggest that producing goods is no longer part of modern life. D．highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life. 65．What can be inferred about consumption in paragraph 4 and 5? A．It discourages gift-giving. B．It conveys individuality. C．It defines culture. D．It sets the fashion trends. 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The divided opinions on consumption. B．The effects of consumerism on people’s life. C．The philosophy of consumption in social life. D．The balance between consumption and production. 【答案】63．C 64．D 65．B 66．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文从社会学角度阐述了消费的含义及其在现代社会中的重要性。文章还指出，消费在人际关系、个人与群体身份的形成和表达中扮演着重要角色。因此，社会学中对消费的研究形成了一个专门的子领域：消费社会学。 63．细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information.(这一转变始于20世纪中期的美国，之后大多数生产工作都转移到了海外，我们的经济转向了零售以及服务和信息的提供。)”可知，20世纪中期，美国的经济重心从生产转向了零售和服务业。故选C。 64．推理判断题。根据第三段中“As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. (因此，我们大多数人每天都在消费而不是生产商品。)”以及“On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book.( 在任何一天，人们都可能开车去上班；在一个需要电、气、油、水、纸和大量消费电子产品和数字产品的办公室工作；买一杯茶、咖啡或苏打水；去餐馆；取干洗衣物；在药店购买保健和卫生用品；用买来的杂货准备晚餐，然后晚上看电视，享受社交媒体，或者看书。)”可知，本段通过列举一个人一天中可能进行的各种消费活动，展示了消费在人们日常生活中的无处不在。因此，作者这样做的目的是为了强调消费在人们生活中的持续存在，选项D“highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life(强调消费在人们生活中的持续存在)”符合题意。故选D。 65．推理判断题。根据第四段提到“Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. (消费在我们与他人建立的关系中扮演着重要角色。)”以及第五段中提到的“Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities.(社会学家也认为消费是形成和表达个人和群体身份过程的重要组成部分。)”可知，消费在我们与他人建立的关系中扮演着重要角色，以及消费是形成和表达个人和群体身份过程的重要组成部分即消费能够传达个性，故选B。 66．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In sociology, consumption is about so much more than just taking in or using up resources.(在社会学中，消费不仅仅是摄取或使用资源那么简单。)”，接着文章从多个方面阐述了消费在社会生活中的重要性，第四段提到“Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. (消费在我们与他人建立的关系中扮演着重要角色。)”以及第五段中提到的“Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities.(社会学家也认为消费是形成和表达个人和群体身份过程的重要组成部分。)”即文章指出了消费如何塑造和表达个人及群体身份、消费在人际关系中的重要性等；同时根据最后一段“So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption.(因此，从社会学的角度来看，消费的意义远不止表面所见。事实上，关于消费的研究非常多，以至于有一个专门研究它的子领域：消费社会学。)”。因此，本文从社会学角度阐述了消费的含义及其在现代社会中的重要性，由此阐述了消费在社会生活中的哲学。C选项“The philosophy of consumption in social life.(消费在社会生活中的哲学)”概括文章主要内容，符合题意，故选C。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain, New Study Says There is no doubt that music can calm the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary reliever for physical pain. Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study. 67 The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs, and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection represented their favorite music of all time. The other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. Each person underwent 7-minute blocks where they were instructed to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a scrambled (杂乱的) version of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. 68 All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object - similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin - to the participants’ left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The scrambled songs did not reduce pain either. 69 After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. 70 This was associated with lower ratings of unpleasantness produced by the burning pain they felt in the experiment. A．One 7-minute block had people sitting in silence. B．In this case, the brain might be tuning into the music. C．The authors suggested it was evidence of music being more than a distraction from an unpleasant experience. D．And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. E．Nevertheless, while our bodies still feel the pain, the messages to make our conscious mind perceive the pain may not be relayed. F．People who listened to bittersweet songs also reported more thrills (震颤感) and shivers (哆嗦) on the skin from listening to pleasurable music. 【答案】67．D 68．A 69．C 70．F 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过一项新研究介绍了听某些类型的音乐（尤其是悲伤的歌曲）可以帮助减轻人们疼痛感的现象。 67．根据前文“Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study. (一项新的研究表明，听喜欢的歌曲可以减少人们对疼痛的感知。)”以及倒数第二段“After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. (在采访了参与者带来的歌曲和他们对疼痛的评价后，研究人员发现，听苦乐参半和感人歌曲的人比听平静或欢快主题的歌曲的人感到的疼痛要少。)”可知，前文提出听喜欢的歌曲可以减少人们对疼痛的感知，后文说听苦乐参半和感人歌曲的人比听平静或欢快主题的歌曲的人感到的疼痛要少，所以空处应是提出相关主题，D项“And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences .(研究发现，最有效的止痛药是描述苦乐参半和情感经历的悲伤歌曲。)”承接上文，提出下文相关主题，符合文意。故选D项。 68．根据前文“Each person underwent 7-minute blocks where they were instructed to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a scrambled (杂乱的) version of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. (每个人都有7分钟的时间，在这段时间里，他们被要求一边盯着显示器屏幕，一边听他们最喜欢的音乐，七首放松的器乐歌曲（每首持续6分40秒）中的一首，或者两首歌曲和所选放松歌曲的混合版本。)”可知，应和有7分钟的时间听音乐内容相关，所以A项“One 7-minute block had people sitting in silence. (在一个7分钟的时间段内，人们都安静地坐着。)”是对前文的说明，其中7-minute block为同词复现。故选A项。 69．设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The scrambled songs did not reduce pain either. (在给自己的体验评级时，相比那些听自己不熟悉的舒缓歌曲或没有听歌的人，听自己喜爱的歌曲的人报告的痛感更低。听混合歌曲也不能降低痛感。)”可知，此处是上文实验的结果，所以C项“The authors suggested it was evidence of music being more than a distraction from an unpleasant experience. (研究作者指出，这一证据说明音乐起到的作用不仅仅是分散人们对不愉快体验的注意力。)”是研究作者对结果的推论，符合文意。故选C项。 70．根据后文“This was associated with lower ratings of unpleasantness produced by the burning pain they felt in the experiment. (这与他们在实验中感受到的灼痛所产生的不愉快程度较低有关。)”可知，前文应是提到一个现象，和感受到的灼痛所产生的不愉快程度较低有关，所以F项“People who listened to bittersweet songs also reported more thrills (震颤感) and shivers (哆嗦) on the skin from listening to pleasurable music. (听苦乐参半的歌曲的人也报告说，听愉快的音乐时皮肤上有更多的刺激和颤抖。)”承接上文，引出下文，符合文意。故选F项。 IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Is Regenerating Nature Only Charitable? In the world of environmental conservation, many people think nature regeneration projects are mainly about charity, not profit. This idea has wrapped around our common awareness, casting such efforts as noble but financially unreliable pursuits. However, is this assumption accurate? With a mix of passion, strategy and innovation, Khory Hancock, an environmental scientist and businessman, is demonstrating that nature regeneration can indeed be profitable. According to Hancock, one way to make money is through carbon credits. These credits are like tickets that organizations can buy or sell. When they invest in restoring ecosystems, they earn credits that can be traded for money. This gives conservation a real purpose to help nature and at the same time brings financial rewards. Beyond direct financial returns, it also helps enhance businesses’ public image. In a world where information travels rapidly and opinions are formed swiftly, having a good public image is without doubt a strategic necessity. The benefits are far-reaching, from building trust and credibility to attracting opportunities and encouraging better relationships, all helping businesses make profits in the long run. Hancock adds that the fields of profitability do not end there. By regenerating farming lands, farmers can use the power of carbon stored as soil organic matter, which has a great effect on almost all soil properties - making the soil more productive. Hancock has also proved that the regenerating practices reduce the gradual destruction of soil and improves soil structure, making the land more adaptable to weather extremes, such as floods and droughts, and consequently increases productivity. Such projects reveal the hidden values that lie within environmental restoration. If more investors increase the scale of these projects, bring financial benefits to both businesses and farming, and in the end, the planet, we can benefit from a sustainable world. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Khory Hancock shows it can be profitable to regenerate nature. Businesses get profits directly by selling carbon credits and indirectly from the enhanced public image. Moreover, farmers profit from improved productivity with organic matters and a more adaptive land. With more nature regenerating practices alike, we’ll have a sustainable world. (50 words) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，科里·汉考克表示，再生自然是有利可图的。企业可以通过出售碳信用额度直接获利，也可以通过提高公众形象间接获利。此外，农民从有机物质和适应性更强的土地的生产力提高中获利。有了更多类似的自然再生实践，我们将拥有一个可持续发展的世界。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①With a mix of passion, strategy and innovation, Khory Hancock, an environmental scientist and businessman, is demonstrating that nature regeneration can indeed be profitable. ②According to Hancock, one way to make money is through carbon credits. ③Beyond direct financial returns, it also helps enhance businesses’ public image. ④By regenerating farming lands, farmers can use the power of carbon stored as soil organic matter, which has a great effect on almost all soil properties - making the soil more productive. ⑤ If more investors increase the scale of these projects, bring financial benefits to both businesses and farming, and in the end, the planet, we can benefit from a sustainable world. 2.缜密构思 将第1、4、5三个要点进行重组，将第2、3两个要点进行整合。 3.遣词造句 Corey Hancock says regeneration is naturally profitable.

The Great Wall, a symbol of ancient civilization, stretches across northern China. Despite its grandeur, 21 remains today is only a part of its former self, due to the wear and damage caused by time and nature. However, a recent discovery reveals that nature 22 might be playing a crucial role in preserving this historical wonder. Thin layers of bacteria and other organisms, known as biocrusts, have been considered 23 (protect) sections of the Great Wall, sheltering it from wind and rain, and other destructive elements. A study published in Science Advances highlights the significant role these “living skins” play in conserving this ancient architectural marvel. 24 advances in technology and research, scientists are now exploring the potential of cultivating new biocrusts to prevent further degradation of the Wall. Nichole Barger, an ecologist, praises the study as “innovative and creative”, noting that the protective effects of biocrusts 25 (gain) increasing recognition in recent years. It is acknowledged that dryland ecosystems 26 (stabilize) and soil erosion (侵蚀) is prevented by these biological layers. 27 the more famous sections of the Great Wall are constructed from stones or bricks, other parts were built using packed soil. Yet, the same packed soils can also host biocrusts, 28 cover about 12% of the Earth’s land surface, particularly in dry regions like northern China. These biocrusts vary in form, 29 (range) from thin bacterial networks to thicker layers of lichen (青苔) . Soil scientist Bo Xiao from the China Agricultural University, along with his colleagues, conducted a study to investigate the role of biocrusts in preserving the Great Wall. Their research revealed that biocrusts, primarily 30 (compose) of moss or bacteria, covered more than two-thirds of the Wall’s surface in the areas they examined. By studying the physical properties, they made a significant discovery. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．available   B．informed    C． movement     D．generate    E. tourism   F. digitally G. prevent    H. marketing    I. comfort       J. vividly      K. inaccessible Have you ever longed to take a trip, but you just don’t have the time or the financial resources? If so, consider touring via virtual reality (VR), which has embraced (拥抱) 31 with open arms. This innovative technology is reshaping the way people experience destinations by breaking down geographical barriers and providing unique journeys. An AI tour is cost-effective and allows you to see the world without leaving the 32 of your living room. You might argue that you don’t have a VR headset (头戴装置), but no matter. Two travel styles are 33 : monoscopic and stereoscopic. Monoscopic VR videos can be viewed on a mobile phone or a computer. By clicking on or dragging across the screen to change the field of view, you are able to explore an entire area. Stereoscopic VR videos use VR headsets that make you feel as if you were actually present at a destination. The software in the headsets tracks your head 34 , so by just turning your head, you can explore each new scene in a more realistic way. No matter which method you choose to “travel,” these virtual travel experiences aim to give you a credible experience. Besides inspecting an area that you might want to visit but can’t, you can virtually preview a place and make more 35 decisions about it. You’re able to clearly see the exact location of a hotel or the distance from it to surrounding attractions. Make no mistake, travel agencies, hotels and destination 36 organizations are using this tool to their advantage. By creating virtual experiences, businesses can dazzle (使赞叹) their audience and 37 interest in specific destinations or accommodations. VR in tourism goes beyond leisure; it also plays a vital role in education and cultural preservation. By 38 documenting, storing and sharing its information, the nonprofit CyArk is aiding in the preservation of endangered cultural heritage sites through VR exploration. To foster a broader understanding of the world, students can now take virtual field trips to formerly 39 historical sites and cultural landmarks. People with accessibility challenges, such as those with physical disabilities or health concerns that 40 their travel, will enjoy the inclusive approach VR provides. Literally anyone can now experience an adventure, virtually! Whether you’re unable to travel, don’t have enough money or prefer to be an armchair traveler, you can still explore the world. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Carlo Rovelli’s book, There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness, offers a refreshing perspective on learning, urging readers to pursue curiosity and exploration without worrying about practical outcomes. For Rovelli, 41 isn’t just a means to an end — it’s a way of experiencing the world, asking meaningful questions, and connecting with others. The book celebrates the joy of learning for its own sake, reminding readers that knowledge doesn’t need to be tied to a specific 42 to be valuable. In today’s fast-paced world, people often view education as a tool for 43 — getting good grades, securing a job, or achieving material goals. Rovelli 44 this mindset, showing that true learning is about much more than these practical objectives. It’s about broadening your mind, exploring new ideas, and finding 45 in the process. Rovelli draws on fascinating stories from science, history, and everyday life to make his point. 46 , he reflects on the revolutionary thinkers of the Renaissance (文艺复兴时期) who dared to question the belief that Earth was the center of the universe. These individuals weren’t 47 by profit or fame; they were motivated by pure curiosity and a desire to understand the world. Their discoveries didn’t just change science — they 48 how people viewed their place in the universe. Rovelli uses these examples to show that the act of learning itself can be 49 , inspiring new ways of thinking and seeing the world. Another key theme in the book is the connection between learning and wonder. Rovelli believes that curiosity is one of humanity’s greatest 50 , and he invites readers to cultivate it by exploring topics that arouse their interest. Whether it’s physics, art, philosophy, or even everyday experiences, the process of discovering something 51 can be deeply rewarding. He argues that this sense of wonder is what makes learning worthwhile — not the 52 it might bring. Rovelli also emphasizes that learning should never be limited by rules or expectations. Instead, it should be a creative, 53 journey. He encourages readers to ask big questions, follow their interests, and take time to reflect on what they learn. By doing so, he believes we can 54 a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness, Rovelli offers a heartfelt reminder that learning isn’t just about facts or 55 — it’s about curiosity, wonder, and the joy of discovering new possibilities. 41．A．kindness B．thinking C．learning D．practice 42．A．preference B．purpose C．problem D．condition 43．A．communication B．success C．cooperation D．survival 44．A．challenges B．maintain C．presents D．extends 45．A．meaning B．solution C．conflict D．distinction 46．A．What’s more B．For example C．As a result D．On the contrary 47．A．rejected B．pursued C．observed D．driven 48．A．shifted B．revealed C．understood D．noticed 49．A．moderate B．appropriate C．expensive D．transformative 50．A．connections B．traditions C．strengths D．innovations 51．A．similar B．funny C．new D．dark 52．A．growth B．grades C．uncertainty D．wisdom 53．A．short B．affordable C．safe D．personal 54．A．unlock B．complicate C．complement D．expose 55．A．motivations B．interests C．results D．questions Section B Directions: Read the following three passages.

I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 56．Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A．Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B．Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C．Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D．Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 57．Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A．Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B．Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C．Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D．Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 58．In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A．animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B．interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C．meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D．people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 59．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B．Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C．From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D．Horse Smell: The Magic Power (B) A Search for Nearby Nature and Wilderness World explorer Alastair Humphries spent a year examining every square metre of a 12-mile radius (半径) around his home in London and found wonder close to hand. A former Adventurer of the Year, Humphries has cycled around the globe and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s also a cry to revitalize London’s neglected natural places in urban areas and our right to wander in them. £12.99, Eye Books.

Humans consume to survive, of course, but in today’s world, we also consume to entertain and amuse ourselves, and as a way to share time and experiences with others. We consume not only material goods but also services, experiences, information, and cultural products. Consumption today is a central organizing principle of social life. Sociologists recognize that many aspects of our daily lives are structured by consumption. In fact, Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman wrote in the book Consuming Life that Western societies are no longer organized around the act of production, but instead, around consumption. This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information. As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book. Who can break free from it? Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. We often organize visits with others around the act of consuming, whether that be sitting down to eat a home-cooked meal as a family, or meeting friends for a shopping excursion at the mall. In addition, we often use consumer goods to express our feelings for others through the practice of gift-giving. Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities. In Subculture: The Meaning of Style, sociologist Dick Hebdige observed that identity is often expressed through fashion choices. This happens because we choose consumer goods that we feel say something about who we are. Our consumer choices are often meant to reflect our values and lifestyle, and in doing so, send visual signals to others about the kind of person we are. So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption. 63．What was the change in the United States in the mid-twentieth century? A．A shift to local production. B．A growth of overseas consumption. C．A focus on retail and services. D．A decline in the value of consumption. 64．The author presents a person’s daily life in paragraph 3 in order to ________. A．encourage people to spend more time working than consuming. B．show the variety of consumer products available on the market. C．suggest that producing goods is no longer part of modern life. D．highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life. 65．What can be inferred about consumption in paragraph 4 and 5? A．It discourages gift-giving. B．It conveys individuality. C．It defines culture. D．It sets the fashion trends. 66．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The divided opinions on consumption. B．The effects of consumerism on people’s life. C．The philosophy of consumption in social life. D．The balance between consumption and production. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.

Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain, New Study Says There is no doubt that music can calm the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary reliever for physical pain. Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study. 67 The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs, and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection represented their favorite music of all time. The other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. Each person underwent 7-minute blocks where they were instructed to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a scrambled (杂乱的) version of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. 68 All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object - similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin - to the participants’ left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The scrambled songs did not reduce pain either. 69 After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. 70 This was associated with lower ratings of unpleasantness produced by the burning pain they felt in the experiment. A．One 7-minute block had people sitting in silence. B．In this case, the brain might be tuning into the music. C．The authors suggested it was evidence of music being more than a distraction from an unpleasant experience. D．And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. E．Nevertheless, while our bodies still feel the pain, the messages to make our conscious mind perceive the pain may not be relayed. F．People who listened to bittersweet songs also reported more thrills (震颤感) and shivers (哆嗦) on the skin from listening to pleasurable music.

Is Regenerating Nature Only Charitable? In the world of environmental conservation, many people think nature regeneration projects are mainly about charity, not profit. This idea has wrapped around our common awareness, casting such efforts as noble but financially unreliable pursuits. However, is this assumption accurate? With a mix of passion, strategy and innovation, Khory Hancock, an environmental scientist and businessman, is demonstrating that nature regeneration can indeed be profitable. According to Hancock, one way to make money is through carbon credits. These credits are like tickets that organizations can buy or sell. When they invest in restoring ecosystems, they earn credits that can be traded for money. This gives conservation a real purpose to help nature and at the same time brings financial rewards. Beyond direct financial returns, it also helps enhance businesses’ public image. In a world where information travels rapidly and opinions are formed swiftly, having a good public image is without doubt a strategic necessity. The benefits are far-reaching, from building trust and credibility to attracting opportunities and encouraging better relationships, all helping businesses make profits in the long run. Hancock adds that the fields of profitability do not end there. By regenerating farming lands, farmers can use the power of carbon stored as soil organic matter, which has a great effect on almost all soil properties - making the soil more productive. Hancock has also proved that the regenerating practices reduce the gradual destruction of soil and improves soil structure, making the land more adaptable to weather extremes, such as floods and droughts, and consequently increases productivity. Such projects reveal the hidden values that lie within environmental restoration. If more investors increase the scale of these projects, bring financial benefits to both businesses and farming, and in the end, the planet, we can benefit from a sustainable world. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．这家百年老店吸纳了多国美食烹饪方法，又自成一派，食客可以在舌尖感受异国文化。 (where) (汉译英) 73．与其他国家消费者相比，很多中国人并不习惯信用卡支付，移动支付能在中国迅速崛起，一定程度上也得益于此。（benefit）（汉译英） 74．这场演唱会的舞台设计以创新和高科技元素而闻名，给观众带来无与伦比的视听感受。(experience) (汉译英) 75．这些大学生志愿者活跃在各行各业，如环境保护、健康卫生、公益教育，让我们看到了青春该有的模样。(range) (汉译英) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高三学生李明，近日有一位外国视频博主Mike正在中国旅行，他计划制作一期关于中国的视频。现在他向广大网友征集相关视频素材，视频打算聚焦中国近年来的快速发展与变化，例如：高速铁路 (high-speed trains)、共享单车 (shared bicycles)、移动支付 (mobile payment)、网上购物 (online shopping)、外卖餐饮 (food delivery) 等方面。 请你给他写一封邮件，为他提供具体的素材建议。 内容须包括： 1. 推荐你认为最具代表性的素材 (1~2个) ； 2. 结合自身经历给出理由。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考第二次模拟考试（上海卷01） 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Listening Comprehension （第1-10题, 每题1分；第11-20题，每题1.5分；共25分） Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

The Great Wall, a symbol of ancient civilization, stretches across northern China. Despite its grandeur, 21 remains today is only a part of its former self, due to the wear and damage caused by time and nature. However, a recent discovery reveals that nature 22 might be playing a crucial role in preserving this historical wonder. Thin layers of bacteria and other organisms, known as biocrusts, have been considered 23 (protect) sections of the Great Wall, sheltering it from wind and rain, and other destructive elements. A study published in Science Advances highlights the significant role these “living skins” play in conserving this ancient architectural marvel. 24 advances in technology and research, scientists are now exploring the potential of cultivating new biocrusts to prevent further degradation of the Wall. Nichole Barger, an ecologist, praises the study as “innovative and creative”, noting that the protective effects of biocrusts 25 (gain) increasing recognition in recent years. It is acknowledged that dryland ecosystems 26 (stabilize) and soil erosion (侵蚀) is prevented by these biological layers. 27 the more famous sections of the Great Wall are constructed from stones or bricks, other parts were built using packed soil. Yet, the same packed soils can also host biocrusts, 28 cover about 12% of the Earth’s land surface, particularly in dry regions like northern China. These biocrusts vary in form, 29 (range) from thin bacterial networks to thicker layers of lichen (青苔) . Soil scientist Bo Xiao from the China Agricultural University, along with his colleagues, conducted a study to investigate the role of biocrusts in preserving the Great Wall. Their research revealed that biocrusts, primarily 30 (compose) of moss or bacteria, covered more than two-thirds of the Wall’s surface in the areas they examined. By studying the physical properties, they made a significant discovery. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．available   B．informed    C． movement     D．generate    E. tourism   F. digitally G. prevent    H. marketing    I. comfort       J. vividly      K. inaccessible Have you ever longed to take a trip, but you just don’t have the time or the financial resources? If so, consider touring via virtual reality (VR), which has embraced (拥抱) 31 with open arms. This innovative technology is reshaping the way people experience destinations by breaking down geographical barriers and providing unique journeys. An AI tour is cost-effective and allows you to see the world without leaving the 32 of your living room. You might argue that you don’t have a VR headset (头戴装置), but no matter. Two travel styles are 33 : monoscopic and stereoscopic. Monoscopic VR videos can be viewed on a mobile phone or a computer. By clicking on or dragging across the screen to change the field of view, you are able to explore an entire area. Stereoscopic VR videos use VR headsets that make you feel as if you were actually present at a destination. The software in the headsets tracks your head 34 , so by just turning your head, you can explore each new scene in a more realistic way. No matter which method you choose to “travel,” these virtual travel experiences aim to give you a credible experience. Besides inspecting an area that you might want to visit but can’t, you can virtually preview a place and make more 35 decisions about it. You’re able to clearly see the exact location of a hotel or the distance from it to surrounding attractions. Make no mistake, travel agencies, hotels and destination 36 organizations are using this tool to their advantage. By creating virtual experiences, businesses can dazzle (使赞叹) their audience and 37 interest in specific destinations or accommodations. VR in tourism goes beyond leisure; it also plays a vital role in education and cultural preservation. By 38 documenting, storing and sharing its information, the nonprofit CyArk is aiding in the preservation of endangered cultural heritage sites through VR exploration. To foster a broader understanding of the world, students can now take virtual field trips to formerly 39 historical sites and cultural landmarks. People with accessibility challenges, such as those with physical disabilities or health concerns that 40 their travel, will enjoy the inclusive approach VR provides. Literally anyone can now experience an adventure, virtually! Whether you’re unable to travel, don’t have enough money or prefer to be an armchair traveler, you can still explore the world. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Carlo Rovelli’s book, There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness, offers a refreshing perspective on learning, urging readers to pursue curiosity and exploration without worrying about practical outcomes. For Rovelli, 41 isn’t just a means to an end — it’s a way of experiencing the world, asking meaningful questions, and connecting with others. The book celebrates the joy of learning for its own sake, reminding readers that knowledge doesn’t need to be tied to a specific 42 to be valuable. In today’s fast-paced world, people often view education as a tool for 43 — getting good grades, securing a job, or achieving material goals. Rovelli 44 this mindset, showing that true learning is about much more than these practical objectives. It’s about broadening your mind, exploring new ideas, and finding 45 in the process. Rovelli draws on fascinating stories from science, history, and everyday life to make his point. 46 , he reflects on the revolutionary thinkers of the Renaissance (文艺复兴时期) who dared to question the belief that Earth was the center of the universe. These individuals weren’t 47 by profit or fame; they were motivated by pure curiosity and a desire to understand the world. Their discoveries didn’t just change science — they 48 how people viewed their place in the universe. Rovelli uses these examples to show that the act of learning itself can be 49 , inspiring new ways of thinking and seeing the world. Another key theme in the book is the connection between learning and wonder. Rovelli believes that curiosity is one of humanity’s greatest 50 , and he invites readers to cultivate it by exploring topics that arouse their interest. Whether it’s physics, art, philosophy, or even everyday experiences, the process of discovering something 51 can be deeply rewarding. He argues that this sense of wonder is what makes learning worthwhile — not the 52 it might bring. Rovelli also emphasizes that learning should never be limited by rules or expectations. Instead, it should be a creative, 53 journey. He encourages readers to ask big questions, follow their interests, and take time to reflect on what they learn. By doing so, he believes we can 54 a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness, Rovelli offers a heartfelt reminder that learning isn’t just about facts or 55 — it’s about curiosity, wonder, and the joy of discovering new possibilities. 41．A．kindness B．thinking C．learning D．practice 42．A．preference B．purpose C．problem D．condition 43．A．communication B．success C．cooperation D．survival 44．A．challenges B．maintain C．presents D．extends 45．A．meaning B．solution C．conflict D．distinction 46．A．What’s more B．For example C．As a result D．On the contrary 47．A．rejected B．pursued C．observed D．driven 48．A．shifted B．revealed C．understood D．noticed 49．A．moderate B．appropriate C．expensive D．transformative 50．A．connections B．traditions C．strengths D．innovations 51．A．similar B．funny C．new D．dark 52．A．growth B．grades C．uncertainty D．wisdom 53．A．short B．affordable C．safe D．personal 54．A．unlock B．complicate C．complement D．expose 55．A．motivations B．interests C．results D．questions Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 56．Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A．Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B．Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C．Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D．Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 57．Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A．Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B．Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C．Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D．Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 58．In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A．animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B．interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C．meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D．people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 59．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B．Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C．From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D．Horse Smell: The Magic Power (B) A Search for Nearby Nature and Wilderness World explorer Alastair Humphries spent a year examining every square metre of a 12-mile radius (半径) around his home in London and found wonder close to hand.

As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book. Who can break free from it? Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. We often organize visits with others around the act of consuming, whether that be sitting down to eat a home-cooked meal as a family, or meeting friends for a shopping excursion at the mall.

Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain, New Study Says There is no doubt that music can calm the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary reliever for physical pain. Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study. 67 The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs, and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection represented their favorite music of all time. The other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. Each person underwent 7-minute blocks where they were instructed to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a scrambled (杂乱的) version of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. 68 All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object - similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin - to the participants’ left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The scrambled songs did not reduce pain either. 69 After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes. 70 This was associated with lower ratings of unpleasantness produced by the burning pain they felt in the experiment. A．One 7-minute block had people sitting in silence. B．In this case, the brain might be tuning into the music. C．The authors suggested it was evidence of music being more than a distraction from an unpleasant experience. D．And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. E．Nevertheless, while our bodies still feel the pain, the messages to make our conscious mind perceive the pain may not be relayed. F．People who listened to bittersweet songs also reported more thrills (震颤感) and shivers (哆嗦) on the skin from listening to pleasurable music.

Is Regenerating Nature Only Charitable? In the world of environmental conservation, many people think nature regeneration projects are mainly about charity, not profit. This idea has wrapped around our common awareness, casting such efforts as noble but financially unreliable pursuits. However, is this assumption accurate? With a mix of passion, strategy and innovation, Khory Hancock, an environmental scientist and businessman, is demonstrating that nature regeneration can indeed be profitable. According to Hancock, one way to make money is through carbon credits. These credits are like tickets that organizations can buy or sell. When they invest in restoring ecosystems, they earn credits that can be traded for money. This gives conservation a real purpose to help nature and at the same time brings financial rewards. Beyond direct financial returns, it also helps enhance businesses’ public image. In a world where information travels rapidly and opinions are formed swiftly, having a good public image is without doubt a strategic necessity. The benefits are far-reaching, from building trust and credibility to attracting opportunities and encouraging better relationships, all helping businesses make profits in the long run. Hancock adds that the fields of profitability do not end there. By regenerating farming lands, farmers can use the power of carbon stored as soil organic matter, which has a great effect on almost all soil properties - making the soil more productive. Hancock has also proved that the regenerating practices reduce the gradual destruction of soil and improves soil structure, making the land more adaptable to weather extremes, such as floods and droughts, and consequently increases productivity. Such projects reveal the hidden values that lie within environmental restoration. If more investors increase the scale of these projects, bring financial benefits to both businesses and farming, and in the end, the planet, we can benefit from a sustainable world. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．这家百年老店吸纳了多国美食烹饪方法，又自成一派，食客可以在舌尖感受异国文化。 (where) (汉译英) 73．与其他国家消费者相比，很多中国人并不习惯信用卡支付，移动支付能在中国迅速崛起，一定程度上也得益于此。（benefit）（汉译英） 74．这场演唱会的舞台设计以创新和高科技元素而闻名，给观众带来无与伦比的视听感受。(experience) (汉译英) 75．这些大学生志愿者活跃在各行各业，如环境保护、健康卫生、公益教育，让我们看到了青春该有的模样。(range) (汉译英) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高三学生李明，近日有一位外国视频博主Mike正在中国旅行，他计划制作一期关于中国的视频。现在他向广大网友征集相关视频素材，视频打算聚焦中国近年来的快速发展与变化，例如：高速铁路 (high-speed trains)、共享单车 (shared bicycles)、移动支付 (mobile payment)、网上购物 (online shopping)、外卖餐饮 (food delivery) 等方面。 请你给他写一封邮件，为他提供具体的素材建议。 内容须包括： 1. 推荐你认为最具代表性的素材 (1~2个) ； 2. 结合自身经历给出理由。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考第二次模拟考试（上海卷01） 参考答案 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） I． Listening Comprehension （25%） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 D D D D B C B C C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C D D C B A A C D II．Grammar and Vocabulary （20%） Section A 21．what 22．itself 23．to protect/to be protecting 24．With 25．have gained 26．are stabilized 27．While/Though/Although 28．which 29．ranging 30．composed Section B 31．E 32．I 33．A 34．C 35．B 36．H 37．D 38．F 39．K 40．G III．Reading Comprehension （45%） Section A 41．C 42．B 43．B 44．A 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．D 50．C 51．C 52．B 53．D 54．A 55．C Section B 56．B 57．D 58．B 59．C 60．B 61．D 62．A 63．C 64．D 65．B 66．C Section C 67．D 68．A 69．C 70．F IV．概要写作（10%） One possible version: 71．Khory Hancock shows it can be profitable to regenerate nature.

VI. Guided Writing （25%） One possible version: 76．Dear Mike, I’m Li Ming, a senior student from Mingqi High School. I came across your request for video footage on China’s recent rapid development and changes, and I’d love to share some suggestions. Among the many highlights, I highly recommend capturing the convenience of China’s high-speed trains and the prevalence of mobile payment. During my summer vacation, I traveled from Beijing to Shanghai by high-speed train, which only took about four and a half hours — a journey that previously took over ten hours. It’s a testament to China’s incredible infrastructure development. Additionally, almost every shop, restaurant, and even street vendors accept mobile payment through apps like Alipay or WeChat Pay. It’s incredibly convenient, showcasing China’s leap into a digital economy. I believe these two aspects will provide compelling insights into China’s modern advancements.
