My mum had been ill for 6 years and over that time she and I went to countless treatments and surgeries. She battled through them all with so much grace and seemed to beat each new cancer that popped up. But this year was different. Things changed dramatically and she lost her battle after 4 very intense and exhausting months. During the time my husband and I were caring for her, my poor old car developed problems too. I pushed it for months since I didn’t have time to be off the road. Long story short, a new light appeared. This one was the engine light. I was no longer needing my car the way I had so I decided to call my repairman about it. He asked me to bring the car in the next morning. When I arrived, he saw me parking from the office and immediately stopped what he was doing and came out. I’d expected to wait inside while he finished what he was doing but he recognized my car and came to me. I asked him how he was as I’d not seen him in 6 months or more. He told me how busy it was. But when he asked me, I immediately started to well up. He looked at me and I told him it had been a heartbreaking year. He told me about losing his grandparents so I shared as well. He gave me the not so great diagnosis of my car, told me to keep an eye on it, touched my arm and gave me a hug. His small act of kindness was giving me his attention, something he probably thought nothing of, but to me, it was huge. His genuine care and concern gave me a glimmer of light during a time when life was feeling so dark. 4. What was the main challenge the author faced this year? A. Losing her mother. B. Struggles with health. C. Problems with the car. D. Facing financial stress. 5. Why did the author put off repairing her car? A. She didn’t trust the repairman’s techniques. B. She couldn’t afford to repair it at the time. C. She couldn’t find time due to family duties. D. She didn’t take the problem seriously. 6. What does the underlined phrase “well up” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Burst out laughing. B. Get extremely frightened. C. Become tearful. D. Feel suddenly energetic. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Taking responsibilities can be a stressful thing. B. Life’s challenges often come from unexpected situations. C. Building strong relationships helps solve problems. D. Acts of kindness can provide comfort during difficult times. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的母亲因为癌症去世，作者十分伤心，结果修理工的一个善举给作者带来的光明。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Things changed dramatically and she lost her battle after 4 very intense and exhausting months.(事情发生了戏剧性的变化，在经历了4个非常紧张和疲惫的月后，她输掉了战斗)”可知，作者今年面临的主要挑战是失去母亲。故选A。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During the time my husband and I were caring for her, my poor old car developed problems too. I pushed it for months since I didn’t have time to be off the road.(在我和丈夫照顾她的那段时间里，我那辆可怜的旧车也出了问题。我推迟了几个月，因为我没有时间上路)”可知，由于家庭责任，作者抽不出时间，所以推迟修理她的汽车。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“He looked at me and I told him it had been a heartbreaking year.(他看着我，我告诉他这是令人心碎的一年)”可知，这是作者心碎的一年，所以对方问起作者时，作者因为伤心而泪流满面。故划线词意思是“泪流满面”。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“His small act of kindness was giving me his attention, something he probably thought nothing of, but to me, it was huge. His genuine care and concern gave me a glimmer of light during a time when life was feeling so dark.(他的小小善举引起了我的注意，他可能没有想到这一点，但对我来说，这是巨大的。在我感到生活如此黑暗的时候，他真诚的关心给了我一线光明)”结合文章主要讲述了作者的母亲因为癌症去世，作者十分伤心，结果修理工的一个善举给作者带来的光明。可知，这篇文章主要讲了善举可以在困难时期提供安慰。故选D。 C For patients with serious illness, a doctor, who understands and shares the feelings of patients, can make a huge difference. Psychologist Janine Westendorp studied the impact of communication in healthcare and emphasized the importance of showing support, even when there’s no cure available. She works at the Helen Dowling Institute, providing psychological support to cancer patients and their loved ones. From her experience, she noticed how patients often revisit what doctors said and how they said it. Poor communication, such as a rushed or inattentive conversation, can make patients feel helpless and unsupported. Westendorp and her team reviewed 45 recorded discussions between doctors and women with incurable breast cancer. Patients filled out questionnaires before and after the discussions to assess their fears and what they remembered. The researchers also evaluated the doctors’ emotional connection using the NURSE acronym (naming, understanding, respecting, supporting, and exploring). They found that many doctors showed understanding, but there was room for improvement, especially in giving patients hope, even if a cure isn’t possible. For instance, doctors can offer hope about effective pain management or maintaining quality of life. Westendorp also explored harmful communication. She identified four key issues: lack of personal information, lack of involvement in decision-making, not being seen or heard, and lack of continuity in care. Statements, like “There’s nothing more we can do for you” and “Your condition is too advanced for further treatment”, are particularly damaging. She stresses that doctors should always communicate ongoing support and care. Although time pressure is a challenge for healthcare professionals, better communication doesn’t have to take much time. Simple statements like “We’re going to take good care of you” can ease patients’ anxiety and improve their experience. Westendorp believes investing time in building relationships with patients early on saves time in the long run. 8. Why is showing support important for seriously-ill patients? A. It helps patients focus on their recovery process. B. It contributes to patients feeling less helpless. C. It prevents doctors from being overly stressed. D. It improves the medical treatment outcome. 9. What can be learned about the NURSE acronym from Paragraph 2? A. It refers to a nurse skills training method. B. It is a doctor knowledge evaluation system. C. It stands for a special type of cancer treatment. D. It shows doctor-patient interaction points. 10. How does the author illustrate harmful communication according to Paragraph 3? A. By presenting statistical data. B. By quoting from famous scholars. C. By providing real-life stories. D. By giving examples of speaking. 11. What statement may the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Healthcare professionals should focus on quick treatments. B. Early communication investment helps save time later. C. Time pressure is a reason for professionals’ poor communication. D. Simple statements do not ease patients’ anxiety. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了医生与重病患者有效沟通的重要性，研究了沟通的影响、存在的问题，并强调早期投入时间建立医患关系能长期省时。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Poor communication, such as a rushed or inattentive conversation, can make patients feel helpless and unsupported.(糟糕的沟通，比如匆忙或不专注的对话，会让患者感到无助和得不到支持)”和第二段中“They found that many doctors showed understanding, but there was room for improvement, especially in giving patients hope, even if a cure isn’t possible.(他们发现许多医生表示了理解，但仍有改进的空间，尤其是在给患者希望方面，即使无法治愈)”可知，医生给予患者支持能让患者不那么无助。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers also evaluated the doctors’ emotional connection using the NURSE acronym (naming, understanding, respecting, supporting, and exploring).(研究人员还使用NURSE缩写词(命名、理解、尊重、支持和探索)来评估医生与患者的情感联系)”可知，NURSE缩写词展示了医患互动的要点。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Statements, like ‘There’s nothing more we can do for you’ and ‘Your condition is too advanced for further treatment’, are particularly damaging.(像‘我们对你无能为力了’和‘你的病情太严重，无法进一步治疗’这样的话尤其具有伤害性)”可知，作者通过给出说话的例子来说明有害的沟通。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Westendorp believes investing time in building relationships with patients early on saves time in the long run.(韦斯特恩多普认为，从长远来看，早期投入时间与患者建立关系可以节省时间)”可推知，作者可能同意早期的沟通投入有助于日后节省时间这一说法。故选B项。 D Since they started studying African elephants in 1975, biologists Joyce Poole and Mickey Pardo noticed that sometimes an elephant would call out to their relatives. Now, they and their team have published new research which provides evidence that elephants address one another with names unique to each individual. The team analyzed data from 101 African elephants making 469 separate calls to 117 receivers. They concentrated on contact, greeting, and caregiving calls, which elephants use when starting contact with an unseen family member, approaching another in touching distance, and nurturing a baby. These were the types of calls that researchers thought were most likely to contain a name. “Our data suggest that elephant names account for only a small part in the call,” says Pardo. “Elephants may include more information in a single sound, so the name might be only one part of a complex signal that conveys other information at the same time.” Though it is not clear how a name gets into a call, this study indicates that it is there. The researchers also conducted field experiments, playing back multiple recordings to the studied elephants. The findings revealed dramatic reactions, showing that elephants do recognize their own “name,” and respond to it, Pardo says. “For example, when an elephant named Donatella heard a playback of a call meant for her, she responded eight times, approached the speaker, and searched behind it.” But when hearing a recording from Frida to her cousin Rothko, Donatella barely reacted, calling just once and not approaching the speaker. “We’re really in early stages to try and figure out what’s going on,” Poole says. For instance, Poole wonders if elephants also have names for places. “This study opens a door into how their mind works,” she adds, “We’re making a step to understanding them better, and that will help us live with them better.” 12. What do scientists discover in the new research? A. Elephants change their names over time. B. Elephants’ names are the main part of the calls. C. Elephants call each other by specific names. D. Elephants use calls with names frequently. 13. What did the researchers focus on in Paragraph 2? A. The specific types of calls used in social interactions. B. The regular patterns of different calls among elephants. C. The number of individual calls each elephant produced. D. The overall count of elephants and receivers in the study. 14. How do elephants react to playbacks of calls intended for them? A. They ignore the calls. B. They react obviously. C. They imitate the calls. D. They move away. 15. What is the significance of this study according to Poole? A. It suggests that elephants can use specific names. B. It reveals that elephant calls carry complex signals. C. It proves that elephants can identify family members. D. It helps that elephants and humans coexist in harmony. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现大象彼此有特定的名字，解释了研究开展的经过以及意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, they and their team have published new research which provides evidence that elephants address one another with names unique to each individual.(现在，他们和他们的团队发表了一项新的研究，该研究提供了证据，证明大象用每个个体独有的名字来称呼彼此)”可知，科学家们在这项新研究中发现大象彼此有特定的名字。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They concentrated on contact, greeting, and caregiving calls, which elephants use when starting contact with an unseen family member, approaching another in touching distance, and nurturing a baby. These were the types of calls that researchers thought were most likely to contain a name.(他们把注意力集中在接触、问候和照顾的叫声上，大象在开始接触一个看不见的家庭成员、接近另一个家庭成员时使用这些叫声，以及抚育一个婴儿。这些是研究人员认为最有可能包含名字的呼叫类型)”可知，研究人员关注的是在社会交往中使用的特定类型的呼叫。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The findings revealed dramatic reactions, showing that elephants do recognize their own “name,” and respond to it, Pardo says.(帕尔多说，研究结果揭示了巨大的反应，表明大象确实认识到自己的“名字”，并对它做出反应)”可知，大象对播放给它们的叫声反应很明显。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“We’re making a step to understanding them better, and that will help us live with them better.(我们正在朝着更好地了解他们迈出一步，这将有助于我们更好地与他们相处)”可知，普尔认为这项研究的意义是有助于大象和人类和谐共处。故选D。 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。 As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.

Everything felt boring — the towering buildings, the constant noise, and the endless streams of people. I missed the quiet, familiar fields of my countryside home. That morning, Aunt Mary decided to take me to a downtown supermarket. “You’ve never seen a place like this before, have you?” she asked with a smile. “It’s just a market.” I replied, showing disinterest. Aunt Mary smiled, “Oh, but it’s so much more. Think of it as an adventure. Each stand has something new to show you. Every item here has a story, if you’re willing to listen.” I roiled my eyes. “Things in the market don’t have stories. I prefer our small market back home in the countryside. At least everything there is simple and straightforward.” She didn’t argue, just guiding me to a fruit stand. My eyes widened at the sight of unfamiliar fruits in all shapes and colors. Aunt Mary picked up a strange-looking fruit: a green orange. I frowned (皱眉). “That’s not ripe. Oranges are supposed to be orange,” I said immediately. Aunt Mary smiled gently, “Why not give it a try?” I shook my head. Without a word, she bought a few green oranges and placed them in her basket. We continued walking through the supermarket, passing by stalls filled with items I’d never seen before. I was curious but kept my questions to myself, determined to appear uninterested. On our way back to her apartment, Aunt Mary stopped by a park bench (长凳) and sat down, bending over to find something in her basket. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She took out one green orange, peeled and shared it with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I changed my mind and decided to have a taste. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She took out one green orange, peeled and shared it with me. I shook my head, saying “No. thanks. I’m absolutely certain that it’s unripe and it will taste sour and terrible.” “You won’t know unless you try,” she said with a knowing smile. She popped a piece into her mouth and nodded in satisfaction. Watching her enjoy it, I stared at her in disbelief. I couldn’t help but wonder — could a green orange really taste good? Maybe I shouldn’t overly stick to what I know. I changed my mind and decided to have a taste. Cautiously, I placed one piece in my mouth. To my surprise, it was incredibly sweet and juicy, far better than any orange I’d ever tasted. My eyes widened in amazement as I looked at my aunt. She smiled as if expecting my reaction. “Life is like this orange,” she said. “You can’t judge it by how it looks or what you assume. You have to experience it by yourself to truly understand its value.” I nodded thoughtfully. That day, I learned a valuable lesson: to embrace new experiences with an open mind and a curious heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述“我”初到大城市和玛丽阿姨一起生活，觉得无聊，怀念乡村。阿姨带“我”去超市，“我”不感兴趣，看到绿橙认为没熟，阿姨买了一些，回来路上在公园长凳坐下拿出绿橙。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她拿出一个绿橙，剥开后和我分享。”可知，第一段可描写“我”拒绝尝试绿橙，阿姨自己吃并表现出满意，引发“我”的思考。 ②由第二段首句内容“我改变了主意，决定尝一尝。”可知，第二段可描写“我”尝后发现绿橙味道很好，阿姨借此开导“我”，“我”从中获得启示。 2. 续写线索：阿姨分享绿橙——“我”拒绝——阿姨品尝——“我”改变主意尝试——绿橙味道好——阿姨开导——“我”获启示 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①放置：place/put ②期待：expect/look forward to/anticipate ③接受：embrace/accept 情绪类 ①惊讶地：in amazement/in surprise ②好奇的：curious/inquisitive  【点睛】[高分句型1] “You won’t know unless you try,” she said with a knowing smile.

B It’s been a very hard and emotional year for me. My mum had been ill for 6 years and over that time she and I went to countless treatments and surgeries. She battled through them all with so much grace and seemed to beat each new cancer that popped up. But this year was different. Things changed dramatically and she lost her battle after 4 very intense and exhausting months. During the time my husband and I were caring for her, my poor old car developed problems too. I pushed it for months since I didn’t have time to be off the road. Long story short, a new light appeared. This one was the engine light. I was no longer needing my car the way I had so I decided to call my repairman about it. He asked me to bring the car in the next morning. When I arrived, he saw me parking from the office and immediately stopped what he was doing and came out. I’d expected to wait inside while he finished what he was doing but he recognized my car and came to me. I asked him how he was as I’d not seen him in 6 months or more. He told me how busy it was. But when he asked me, I immediately started to well up. He looked at me and I told him it had been a heartbreaking year. He told me about losing his grandparents so I shared as well. He gave me the not so great diagnosis of my car, told me to keep an eye on it, touched my arm and gave me a hug. His small act of kindness was giving me his attention, something he probably thought nothing of, but to me, it was huge. His genuine care and concern gave me a glimmer of light during a time when life was feeling so dark. 4. What was the main challenge the author faced this year? A. Losing her mother. B. Struggles with health. C. Problems with the car. D. Facing financial stress. 5. Why did the author put off repairing her car? A. She didn’t trust the repairman’s techniques. B. She couldn’t afford to repair it at the time. C. She couldn’t find time due to family duties. D. She didn’t take the problem seriously. 6. What does the underlined phrase “well up” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Burst out laughing. B. Get extremely frightened. C. Become tearful. D. Feel suddenly energetic. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Taking responsibilities can be a stressful thing. B. Life’s challenges often come from unexpected situations. C Building strong relationships helps solve problems. D. Acts of kindness can provide comfort during difficult times. C For patients with serious illness, a doctor, who understands and shares the feelings of patients, can make a huge difference. Psychologist Janine Westendorp studied the impact of communication in healthcare and emphasized the importance of showing support, even when there’s no cure available. She works at the Helen Dowling Institute, providing psychological support to cancer patients and their loved ones. From her experience, she noticed how patients often revisit what doctors said and how they said it. Poor communication, such as a rushed or inattentive conversation, can make patients feel helpless and unsupported. Westendorp and her team reviewed 45 recorded discussions between doctors and women with incurable breast cancer. Patients filled out questionnaires before and after the discussions to assess their fears and what they remembered. The researchers also evaluated the doctors’ emotional connection using the NURSE acronym (naming, understanding, respecting, supporting, and exploring). They found that many doctors showed understanding, but there was room for improvement, especially in giving patients hope, even if a cure isn’t possible. For instance, doctors can offer hope about effective pain management or maintaining quality of life. Westendorp also explored harmful communication. She identified four key issues: lack of personal information, lack of involvement in decision-making, not being seen or heard, and lack of continuity in care. Statements, like “There’s nothing more we can do for you” and “Your condition is too advanced for further treatment”, are particularly damaging. She stresses that doctors should always communicate ongoing support and care. Although time pressure is a challenge for healthcare professionals, better communication doesn’t have to take much time. Simple statements like “We’re going to take good care of you” can ease patients’ anxiety and improve their experience. Westendorp believes investing time in building relationships with patients early on saves time in the long run. 8. Why is showing support important for seriously-ill patients? A. It helps patients focus on their recovery process. B. It contributes to patients feeling less helpless. C It prevents doctors from being overly stressed. D. It improves the medical treatment outcome. 9. What can be learned about the NURSE acronym from Paragraph 2? A. It refers to a nurse skills training method. B. It is a doctor knowledge evaluation system. C. It stands for a special type of cancer treatment. D. It shows doctor-patient interaction points. 10. How does the author illustrate harmful communication according to Paragraph 3? A. By presenting statistical data. B. By quoting from famous scholars. C. By providing real-life stories. D. By giving examples of speaking. 11. What statement may the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Healthcare professionals should focus on quick treatments. B. Early communication investment helps save time later. C. Time pressure is a reason for professionals’ poor communication. D. Simple statements do not ease patients’ anxiety. D Since they started studying African elephants in 1975, biologists Joyce Poole and Mickey Pardo noticed that sometimes an elephant would call out to their relatives. Now, they and their team have published new research which provides evidence that elephants address one another with names unique to each individual. The team analyzed data from 101 African elephants making 469 separate calls to 117 receivers. They concentrated on contact, greeting, and caregiving calls, which elephants use when starting contact with an unseen family member, approaching another in touching distance, and nurturing a baby. These were the types of calls that researchers thought were most likely to contain a name. “Our data suggest that elephant names account for only a small part in the call,” says Pardo. “Elephants may include more information in a single sound, so the name might be only one part of a complex signal that conveys other information at the same time.” Though it is not clear how a name gets into a call, this study indicates that it is there. The researchers also conducted field experiments, playing back multiple recordings to the studied elephants. The findings revealed dramatic reactions, showing that elephants do recognize their own “name,” and respond to it, Pardo says. “For example, when an elephant named Donatella heard a playback of a call meant for her, she responded eight times, approached the speaker, and searched behind it.” But when hearing a recording from Frida to her cousin Rothko, Donatella barely reacted, calling just once and not approaching the speaker. “We’re really in early stages to try and figure out what’s going on,” Poole says. For instance, Poole wonders if elephants also have names for places. “This study opens a door into how their mind works,” she adds, “We’re making a step to understanding them better, and that will help us live with them better.” 12. What do scientists discover in the new research? A. Elephants change their names over time. B. Elephants’ names are the main part of the calls. C. Elephants call each other by specific names. D. Elephants use calls with names frequently. 13. What did the researchers focus on in Paragraph 2? A. The specific types of calls used in social interactions. B. The regular patterns of different calls among elephants. C. The number of individual calls each elephant produced. D. The overall count of elephants and receivers in the study. 14. How do elephants react to playbacks of calls intended for them? A. They ignore the calls. B. They react obviously. C. They imitate the calls. D. They move away. 15. What is the significance of this study according to Poole? A. It suggests that elephants can use specific names. B. It reveals that elephant calls carry complex signals. C. It proves that elephants can identify family members. D. It helps that elephants and humans coexist in harmony. 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。 As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.

Everything felt boring — the towering buildings, the constant noise, and the endless streams of people. I missed the quiet, familiar fields of my countryside home. That morning, Aunt Mary decided to take me to a downtown supermarket. “You’ve never seen a place like this before, have you?” she asked with a smile. “It’s just a market.” I replied, showing disinterest. Aunt Mary smiled, “Oh, but it’s so much more. Think of it as an adventure. Each stand has something new to show you. Every item here has a story, if you’re willing to listen.” I roiled my eyes. “Things in the market don’t have stories. I prefer our small market back home in the countryside. At least everything there is simple and straightforward.” She didn’t argue, just guiding me to a fruit stand. My eyes widened at the sight of unfamiliar fruits in all shapes and colors. Aunt Mary picked up a strange-looking fruit: a green orange. I frowned (皱眉). “That’s not ripe. Oranges are supposed to be orange,” I said immediately. Aunt Mary smiled gently, “Why not give it a try?” I shook my head. Without a word, she bought a few green oranges and placed them in her basket. We continued walking through the supermarket, passing by stalls filled with items I’d never seen before. I was curious but kept my questions to myself, determined to appear uninterested. On our way back to her apartment, Aunt Mary stopped by a park bench (长凳) and sat down, bending over to find something in her basket. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She took out one green orange, peeled and shared it with me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I changed my mind and decided to have a taste. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 ACABA 6—10 BAACB 11—15 CBCBC 16—20BBCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
