One with lots of interesting classes and a marketplace, and where everything was sit included so attendees could focus on focus on weaving and marketplace, and where everything was included so attendees could focus on weaving and making new friends? Out of this idea came Weave Together with Handwoven 2024, and it was such a success that we’re doing it again in March, 2025. For this next event, we’re taking Weave Together to the beautiful Heritage Hills Resort in York County, Pennsylvania. The tickets include comfortable accommodations as well as three meals a day, so you can concentrate on three days of weaving classes and have plenty of opportunities to shop and talk with your fellow weaver. Classes cover various types of weaving machines for weavers of all levels. In fact, with intro-level courses offered every day, this event is the perfect opportunity for anyone wanting to learn a new weaving technique — or how to get started in weaving! What makes Weave Together extra special, though, are the many opportunities to get to know not just your fellow attendees but also the instructors between classes, at the marketplace, and during meals. It really is an incredible opportunity to make new friends in the weaving community. Weave Together with Handwoven 2025 will take place March 23rd-27th. More information on the event, including teachers, classes, and ticket purchase, can be found at handwovenretreal.com. Don’t delay — only a few spaces remain! 1. What does the ticket include? A. Sightseeing fees. B. Room and board. C. Transportation fare. D. Expenses at the market. 2. What makes Weave Together with Handwoven 2025 special? A. Safe escape from rushing life. B. Particular focus on selling supplies. C. Various classes from top instructors. D. Enough interaction with the like-minded. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote an activity for weavers. B. To celebrate a weaving community. C. To introduce the history of weaving. D. To announce new weaving products. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了即将举行的Weave Together with Handwoven 2025活动，包括其时间、地点、内容以及如何获取更多信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The tickets include comfortable accommodations as well as three meals a day, so you can concentrate on three days of weaving classes and have plenty of opportunities to shop and talk with your fellow weaver.(门票包括舒适的住宿和一日三餐，所以你可以专注于三天的编织课程，并有很多机会购物和与你的编织同伴交谈)”可知，票中包括食宿费用。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What makes Weave Together extra special, though, are the many opportunities to get to know not just your fellow attendees but also the instructors between classes, at the marketplace, and during meals.(然而，让Weave Together格外特别的是，有很多机会不仅可以了解你的参与者，还可以在课间、市场和用餐期间了解教练)”可知，2025年该活动的特别之处在于它为参加者提供了很多与有同样兴趣的参加者和讲师交流的机会。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Out of this idea came Weave Together with Handwoven 2024, and it was such a success that we’re doing it again in March, 2025.(基于这个想法，我们诞生了2024年“编织与手工编织”活动，这次活动非常成功，我们将在2025年3月再次举办)”以及文章主要介绍了即将举行的Weave Together with Handwoven 2025活动，包括其时间、地点、内容以及如何获取更多信息。由此推知，本文的主要目的是宣传即将举行的Weave Together with Handwoven 2025活动。故选A。 B Mindful eating doesn’t come naturally to me. I’d developed the habit of doing several things at once, like eating and reading. It felt like dead time not to use the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I’ve been guilty of eating a really healthy diet - while barely noticing it. It took an 11-year-old to truly show me what eating mindfully looks like. Many years ago, when my daughter came home after her first day at secondary school, I fired a flow of questions at her: “Did I you make new friends?”, “Were the teachers nice?” Entirely focusing on a cheese sandwich, she looked at me pointedly, “Mummy, I’ll tell you all about it in a bit. I just want to enjoy eating this sandwich quietly.” So I bit my lip and watched her close her eyes, smile and “Mmmm” as she chewed. It was a sharp contrast to how I ate my lunch. We’re so used to reducing time that we’ve downgraded eating to something to be squeezed (挤压) in while we’re doing something else. Our grab-and-go culture encourages eating in a rush — the quicker the better. All too often, we end up wolfing down a few biscuits between calls as something to keep us going. But there’s a huge downside to our disconnected eating. When you don’t fully experience your food, you don’t pay attention to whether you’re hungry or not — or full or not. Our social media feeds are flooded with healthy recipes and there’s no end of focus on the quality of our food. But there’s comparatively little focus on how we eat it — and actually that makes all the difference. So, let’s turn our attention to eating slowly, mindfully and with enjoyment. Here’s a challenge for you: Can you practice eating at least one meal a day without any distractions (分心)? No smartphone, no TV, no radio, no newspaper, no magazines? You might well feel a lot of resistance to it at first ... but keep trying! 4. What was the author’s initial opinion about multitasking while eating? A. It was a waste of time. B. It worked people to death. C. It was an efficient time-using way. D. It dragged people from food enjoyment. 5. What did the author learn from her daughter? A. To fully enjoy simple eating pleasure. B. To maintain independence in growth. C. To effectively balance work and relaxation. D. To prioritize family over personal activities. 6. What does disconnected eating lead to? A. Forgetting being on a diet. B. Being particular about food. C. Addiction to multitask lifestyle. D. Unawareness of hunger and fullness. 7. What message does the author mainly convey? A. Modern lifestyles need big changes. B. Technology has bad impacts on dining habits. C. Enjoying meals attentively enhances well-being. D. Healthy recipes are more important than eating style. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过与女儿的互动，认识到了正念饮食的重要性。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It felt like dead time not to use the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.(不利用这个机会一举两得，感觉就像停机时间了)”可推知，作者最初认为吃饭的同时进行多项任务的处理是一种有效利用时间的方式。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It took an 11-year-old to truly show me what eating mindfully looks like.(一个11岁的孩子才真正向我展示了正念饮食是什么样子)”以及“So I bit my lip and watched her close her eyes, smile and “Mmmm” as she chewed. It was a sharp contrast to how I ate my lunch.(所以我咬着嘴唇，看着她闭上眼睛，微笑着，一边咀嚼着，一边发出“嗯”的声音。这和我吃午饭的方式形成了鲜明的对比)”可知，作者向女儿学到专注于享受饮食的过程，充分体验和享受饮食带来的纯粹的快乐。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But there’s a huge downside to our disconnected eating. When you don’t fully experience your food, you don’t pay attention to whether you’re hungry or not — or full or not.(但这种不连贯的饮食方式有一个巨大的缺点。当你没有充分体验你的食物时，你不会注意到你是否饿了——或者饱了还是没饱)”可知，当人们不完全体验食物时，他们不会注意到自己是否饿或饱。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But there’s comparatively little focus on how we eat it — and actually that makes all the difference. So, let’s turn our attention to eating slowly, mindfully and with enjoyment.(但相对而言，很少有人关注我们如何吃饭——而实际上，这才是最重要的。所以，让我们把注意力转向慢慢地、用心地、享受地吃饭)”可推知，本文意在传达专心享用餐食、不受任何干扰可以提高整体的幸福感和生活质量。故选C。 C Scientists have long debated whether the planet Venus (金星) could ever have supported life. Now, a study of its atmosphere suggests it probably couldn’t. Venus is sometimes referred to as “Earth’s evil (邪恶的) twin”. The two planets are similar in size and d are made of the same materials but up close, Venus’s “evil” side is revealed. The planet is covered with thick clouds of acid and has an average surface temperature of nearly 500℃. Plenty of spacecraft have been sent to study the planet, including Venus Express, but it is still a mystery. Some scientists thought it might have had oceans on its surface. This is important because liquid water is generally accepted as essential to the development of life, or, at least, the kind of life we know about. To work out if Venus once had oceans, the team wanted to see if there was any water inside the planet. They started the search by examining its atmosphere. On hot Venus, water gets into the atmosphere as steam thrown out during volcanic eruptions. By studying the planet’s atmosphere, the team found that very little water was needed to keep it stable. From that, they calculated that gases from Venus’s volcanoes are only 6% steam at most, far less than here on watery Earth. These “dry” eruptions on Venus suggest that the inside of the planet where the rock and gas in volcanic eruptions come from contains little water. The team said this lack of water suggests oceans have never existed on the planet. The study’s lead author, Tereza Constantinou, said, “Given that it likely never had oceans, it is hard to imagine Venus ever having supported Earth-like life, which requires liquid water.” What was the early evolution (进化) of Venus and how did its initial conditions go different from Earth? Exploring the potential for extreme microorganisms and studying ancient volcanic activity may provide further insights into the planet’s past and its potential for hosting alternative forms of life 8. Why is Venus referred to as “Earth’s evil twin”? A. For its support for life in a different form. B. For a similar surface temperature to Earth. C. For the same atmospheric composition as Earth. D For its similarity to Earth but worse environment. 9. What can we learn from the findings about Venus’s volcano steam? A. Venus had oceans replaced by volcanoes. B. Venus has been too hot to support life. C. Venus has never had large amounts of water. D. Venus was rich in rocks without water. 10. What future research is suggested to better understand Venus? A. The extreme climate on Venus-like planets. B. The possibility for extreme microorganisms. C. Sending more spacecraft to map the surface of it. D. Comparing the composition of Venus with other planets. 11. Which of the following serves as the best title for the text? A. Venus’s hidden secrets B. Early evolution of Venus C. No life on “Earth’s evil twin” D. More hope for “life in the heaven” 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过对金星大气层的研究，科学家们发现该行星内部和大气层中的水含量极低，几乎不可能存在过海洋。因此，金星很可能从未有过类似于地球的生命形式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Venus is sometimes referred to as ‘Earth’s evil (邪恶) twin’. The two planets are similar in size and d are made of the same materials but up close, Venus’s “evil” side is revealed. The planet is covered with thick clouds of acid and has an average surface temperature of nearly 500℃.(金星有时被称为‘地球的邪恶双胞胎’。这两颗行星大小相似，由相同的材料构成，但近距离观察，金星‘邪恶’的一面显露出来。这颗行星被厚厚的酸云覆盖，表面平均温度接近500℃)”可知，金星和地球在大小和组成成分上相似，但金星的环境非常恶劣，因此被称为“地球的邪恶双胞胎”。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“By studying the planet’s atmosphere, the team found that very little water was needed to keep it stable. From that, they calculated that gases from Venus’s volcanoes are only 6% steam at most, far less than here on watery Earth.(通过研究火星的大气层，研究小组发现，保持大气层稳定只需要很少的水。由此，他们计算出金星火山产生的气体最多只有6%的水蒸气，远低于地球上的水蒸气含量)”和第五段中“These ‘dry’ eruptions on Venus suggest that the inside of the planet where the rock and gas in volcanic eruptions come from contains little water.(金星上的这些‘干燥’的喷发表明，金星内部——火山喷发中岩石和气体的来源——几乎不含水)”可知，研究团队通过分析金星的大气层发现，火山喷发中的水蒸气含量极少，最多只有6%，远不同于地球上水量丰富的环境。这些“干燥”的喷发现象表明金星内部几乎不含水。由此可推知，金星从未有过大量的水或海洋。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Exploring the potential for extreme microorganisms and studying ancient volcanic activity may provide further insights in-to the planet’s past and its potential for hosting alternative forms of life.(探索极端微生物的可能性和研究古代火山活动可能会进一步了解地球的过去及其承载其他生命形式的可能性)”可知，未来的研究可以探索极端微生物的可能性以及研究古老的火山活动，以进一步了解金星的历史及其是否可能支持其他形式的生命存在。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇点题，强调了金星被称为“地球的邪恶双胞胎”，并且指出了它不适合生命的存在。通过对金星大气层的研究，科学家们发现该行星内部和大气层中的水含量极低，几乎不可能存在过海洋。因此，金星很可能从未有过类似于地球的生命形式。由此可推知，C项“‘地球的邪恶双胞胎’上没有生命”最适合作文章标题。故选C。 D Think of microplastics, and you might think of the ones gathering in the world’s oceans. However, they are also filling the air we breathe. Now, it has been discovered that forests might be acting gas a sink for these airborne microplastics, offering humanity yet another crucial service. The study has recently been published in Environmental Chemistry Letters, by a multi-institutional research group led by Professor Akane Miyazaki of Japan Women’s University. “We investigated airborne microplastics on konara oak tree leaves in a small forest in Tokyo,” says lead author of the study, Natsu Sunaga. “We wanted to determine a dependable method for analyzing levels of these microplastics on leaf surfaces, and how exactly airborne microplastics become trapped by leaves.” The leaves were treated using three processes: Washing with ultrapure water, blending treatment with ultrasonic waves (超声波) and washing with ultrapure water, and treatment with an alkaline (碱性的) solution of 10% potassium hydroxide. “We found that airborne microplastics strongly stick to the epicuticular wax (表皮蜡质) on the leaf surface,” explains Akane Miyazaki, senior author. “In other words, these particles gather when they stick to the waxy surface coating of leaves.” The team discovered that the first two treatments — washing with ultrapure water alone or in combination with ultrasonic waves — were not enough for accurately determining the levels of airborne microplastics on forest leaves. Treatment with alkaline potassium hydroxide, however, removed both the epicuticular wax and the substances stuck to it, proving to be an effective method. Crucially, previous studies that used only the first two methods may have underestimated the number of plastics stuck to leaf surfaces. “Based on our findings, we estimate that the Quercus serrata forests of Japan trap about 420 trillion airborne microplastics per year in their canopies,” states Sunaga. How the gradual increase of these microplastics will affect forest ecosystems, including ecosystem functions and soil health, is unknown, and this will undoubtedly be an area of further research. For now, we know that forests and even roadside trees might reduce the amount of plastic entering our lungs, and for that we have yet another reason to thank trees. 12. Why did the researchers employ three processes to treat the leaves? A. To arrange tasks reasonably. B. To decide a reliable method. C. To achieve the maximum effect. D. To celebrate a novel technology. 13. What does the underlined word “blending” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Ignoring. B. Balancing. C. Combining. D. Promoting. 14. What is a key advantage of using alkaline potassium hydroxide? A. It completes the process more quickly. B. It preserves natural leaf color effectively. C. It does not require specialized equipment. D. It removes wax and stuck substances well. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. The benefits of forests for human health. B. The application of the new research results. C. The impact of microplastics on forest ecosystems. D. The improvement of microplastic-removing ways. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了森林作为空气中微塑料汇的作用，具体关注了东京一个小森林中的袍栎树叶对微塑料的吸附现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We wanted to determine a dependable method for analyzing levels of these microplastics on leaf surfaces, and how exactly airborne microplastics become trapped by leaves.(我们想确定一种可靠的方法来分析叶子表面这些微塑料的含量，以及空气中的微塑料是如何被叶子捕获的。)”可知，研究人员使用三种方法是为了找到一种可靠的方法来分析树叶表面的微塑料水平。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，研究人员用了三种方法处理树叶，画线词所在短语“blending treatment with ultrasonic waves”介绍的是第二种方法，与第四段“The team discovered that the first two treatments — washing with ultrapure water alone or in combination with ultrasonic waves(研究小组发现，前两种治疗方法——单独用超纯水清洗或结合超声波清洗)”中的“in combination with ultrasonic waves(结合超声波清洗)”是同一种方法，由此推知，“blending”与“combination”为同义表达，即，与其动词“combining”相呼应。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Treatment with alkaline potassium hydroxide, however, removed both the epicuticular wax and the substances stuck to it, proving to be an effective method.(然而，用碱性氢氧化钾治疗可以去除表皮蜡和附着在其上的物质，这被证明是一种有效的方法。)”可知，使用碱性氢氧化钾溶液的优点是可以有效去除树叶的表皮蜡质和附着在其上面的物质。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“How the gradual increase of these microplastics will affect forest ecosystems, including ecosystem functions and soil health, is unknown, and this will undoubtedly be an area of further research.(这些微塑料的逐渐增加将如何影响森林生态系统，包括生态系统功能和土壤健康，目前尚不清楚，这无疑是一个需要进一步研究的领域。)”可推知，未来的研究将集中在微塑料逐渐增加对森林生态系统的影响上。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once upon a time, there was nothing to do with thoughts except remember them. There were neither letters to transcribe (记录) them in, nor paper to set them down upon. ____16____ Any story that would be retold, any idea that would be sent, and any piece of information that would be conveyed, first had to be remembered. ____17____ When I wake up, the first thing I do is check my day planner, which remembers my schedule so that I don’t have to. When I climb into my car, I enter my destination into a GPS device, whose spatial memory replaces my own. I have photographs to store the images and books to store knowledge I want to remember. Growing up, in the days when you still had to dial several buttons to make a telephone call, I could recall the numbers of all my close friends and family. ____18____ According to a survey, fully a third of British under the age of thirty can’t remember even their own home land line number without pulling it upon their handsets. The same survey found that 30 percent of adults can’t remember the birthdays of more than three immediate family members. ____19____ Forgotten phone numbers and birthdays represent minor decline of our everyday memory, but they are part of a much larger story of how we’ve replaced our own natural memory with a vast super-structure of technological supports. These technologies of storing information outside our minds have helped make our modern world possible. ____20____ A. Today it often seems we remember very little. B. I hit the play button on a digital voice recorder. C. It is easy to access humankind’s collective memory. D. Our brains have removed the need to remember such things. E. But now I’m not sure if I know over 4 phone numbers by heart. F. They’ve also changed how we think and how we use our brains. G. Anything that had to be preserved had to be preserved in memory. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了数据科技时代人类的记忆在衰退。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Once upon a time, there was nothing to do with thoughts except remember them. There were neither letters to transcribe (记录) them in, nor paper to set them down upon.(曾几何时，除了记住它们，与思想毫无关系。既没有可以抄写的字母，也没有可以写下来的纸)”可知，上文提到以前没有单词可以用来记录想法，也没有纸可以记录时，大脑的作用就是记忆。故G选项“任何必须保存的东西都必须保存在记忆中”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据后文“When I wake up, the first thing I do is check my day planner, which remembers my schedule so that I don’t have to. When I climb into my car, I enter my destination into a GPS device, whose spatial memory replaces my own. I have photographs to store the images and books to store knowledge I want to remember.(当我醒来的时候，我做的第一件事就是检查我的日程安排，它会记住我的日程安排，这样我就不用去做了。当我爬上车时，我把目的地输入GPS设备，它的空间记忆取代了我自己的空间记忆。我有照片来存储图像，有书籍来存储我想要记住的知识)”可知，下文提到日程提醒、开车导航、存储图像都有数码工具来帮助记忆。故A选项“今天我们似乎经常忘记的很少”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Growing up, in the days when you still had to dial several buttons to make a telephone call, I could recall the numbers of all my close friends and family.(在成长的过程中，当你打电话还需要按几个按钮时，我能记得所有亲密朋友和家人的电话号码)”以及后文“According to a survey, fully a third of British under the age of thirty can’t remember even their own home land line number without pulling it upon their handsets.(根据一项调查，在三十岁以下的英国人中，有整整三分之一的人如果不把手机上的固定电话号码拔出来，甚至连自己家里的电话号码都记不住)”可知，上文提到在作者的成长过程中，拨打电话要按按钮，作者能记住所有的好朋友和家人的电话号码，后文则提到如今记不住电话号码，前后为转折关系。故E选项“但是现在我不确定我是否能记住4个以上的电话号码”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“According to a survey, fully a third of British under the age of thirty can’t remember even their own home land line number without pulling it upon their handsets. The same survey found that 30 percent of adults can’t remember the birthdays of more than three immediate family members.(根据一项调查，在三十岁以下的英国人中，有整整三分之一的人如果不把手机上的固定电话号码拔出来，甚至连自己家里的电话号码都记不住。同一项调查还发现，30%的成年人不能记住三个以上直系亲属的生日)”可知，上文提到现代人记不住电话号码和生日，本句承接上文，说明原因。故D选项“我们的大脑已经不再需要记住这些东西了”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“These technologies of storing information outside our minds have helped make our modern world possible.(这些将信息储存在我们大脑之外的技术使我们的现代世界成为可能)”可知，上文提到这些在我们的头脑之外存储信息的技术使我们的现代世界成为可能，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，继续补充技术对人们的影响。故F选项“它们也改变了我们思考和使用大脑的方式”符合语境，故选F。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Friends Williams and Smith spend the weeks leading up to Christmas throughout the country.

(运用了现在分词作状语) 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 There were never-ending wars between me and my mother. We spent a lot of time in a state of debate. As much as I wanted to respect her wishes, I always had my own plans in my head. Her wishes and my plans were rarely the same. She would tell me to tie my shoelaces; I would argue that the knots made it harder to get my shoes off. She would demand that I make my bed; I would insist that it was not necessary. She would ask me to cut the grass in the backyard and I’d reply with a comprehensive list of all the reasons that the grass looked better tall and uncut. Round and round we’d go in a funny dance. She’d throw out a rule, and I’d find a loophole (漏洞) and jump through it. When all the loopholes were closed, I would switch strategies. Instead of arguing, I would try to find the closest open door and run. But it seemed that my mom was always waiting at the exit. I am convinced that weekends are not for work. They are for leisure and adventure. That’s why there’s no school on weekends. Nevertheless, my mom thinks the other way. Last Saturday morning, when I was dreaming beneath my warm blanket, my bedroom door flew open and came the voice of my mother, “Wake up, Walter. It is time to start the day.” Pretending not to hear my mom, I tried to close my eyes even tighter. My mom didn’t wait for my response. She drew open the curtain and told me that we were going to have a thorough clean for our house and that I was in charge of tidying my bedroom and the study. “I am scheduled to go skating with my friends.” I was somewhat annoyed and made an excuse. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Before you can go outside you need to finish inside,” my mom said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time I finished, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Before you can go outside, you need to finish inside,” my mom said. Knowing that I couldn’t escape my mom’s rules, I reluctantly agreed to help and left my bed with a heavy sigh. As I began to tidy up, I was impatient and careless. But as my mom kept an eye on my process now and then, I had to be hard on my work. The pile of clothes that had taken up residence on my floor found their way back into the drawers, and the scattered books and papers began to find their place on the shelves. By the time I finished, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. The room, once in a mess, started to look more inviting. The study, once chaotic, became a peaceful shelter. I realized that maybe there was some value to my mother’s insistence on order. It wasn’t just about following rules. It was about creating a space that fostered productivity and peace. It was not just about cleaning. It was about growing up. It was about understanding that sometimes, the things we resist can turn out to be the very things that teach us the most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者总是和母亲因为意见不同发生矛盾，这天母亲让作者收拾自己的房间，一开始作者不情愿，但是在妈妈的注视下不得不这么做。收拾好房间后，作者却感到有成就感，房间也变得有吸引力了，作者开始意识到母亲对秩序的坚持是有价值的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘在你出去之前，你得先把里面的事做完，’我妈妈说”可知，第一段可描写作者不情愿收拾房间的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我完成的时候，我有一种奇怪的成就感”可知，第二段可描写收拾完房间作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：母亲要求收拾房间——不情愿收拾——收拾完成——获得成就感——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①整理：tidy up/clean up ②促进：foster/stimulate ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不情愿：reluctantly/unwillingly ②吸引人：inviting/appealing 【点睛】[高分句型1] Knowing that I couldn’t escape my mom’s rules, I reluctantly agreed to help and left my bed with a heavy sigh.

One with lots of interesting classes and a marketplace, and where everything was sit included so attendees could focus on focus on weaving and marketplace, and where everything was included so attendees could focus on weaving and making new friends? Out of this idea came Weave Together with Handwoven 2024, and it was such a success that we’re doing it again in March, 2025. For this next event, we’re taking Weave Together to the beautiful Heritage Hills Resort in York County, Pennsylvania. The tickets include comfortable accommodations as well as three meals a day, so you can concentrate on three days of weaving classes and have plenty of opportunities to shop and talk with your fellow weaver. Classes cover various types of weaving machines for weavers of all levels. In fact, with intro-level courses offered every day, this event is the perfect opportunity for anyone wanting to learn a new weaving technique — or how to get started in weaving! What makes Weave Together extra special, though, are the many opportunities to get to know not just your fellow attendees but also the instructors between classes, at the marketplace, and during meals. It really is an incredible opportunity to make new friends in the weaving community. Weave Together with Handwoven 2025 will take place March 23rd-27th. More information on the event, including teachers, classes, and ticket purchase, can be found at handwovenretreal.com. Don’t delay — only a few spaces remain! 1. What does the ticket include? A. Sightseeing fees. B. Room and board. C. Transportation fare. D. Expenses at the market. 2. What makes Weave Together with Handwoven 2025 special? A. Safe escape from rushing life. B. Particular focus on selling supplies. C. Various classes from top instructors. D. Enough interaction with the like-minded. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote an activity for weavers. B. To celebrate a weaving community. C. To introduce the history of weaving. D. To announce new weaving products. B Mindful eating doesn’t come naturally to me. I’d developed the habit of doing several things at once, like eating and reading. It felt like dead time not to use the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I’ve been guilty of eating a really healthy diet - while barely noticing it. It took an 11-year-old to truly show me what eating mindfully looks like. Many years ago, when my daughter came home after her first day at secondary school, I fired a flow of questions at her: “Did I you make new friends?”, “Were the teachers nice?” Entirely focusing on a cheese sandwich, she looked at me pointedly, “Mummy, I’ll tell you all about it in a bit. I just want to enjoy eating this sandwich quietly.” So I bit my lip and watched her close her eyes, smile and “Mmmm” as she chewed. It was a sharp contrast to how I ate my lunch. We’re so used to reducing time that we’ve downgraded eating to something to be squeezed (挤压) in while we’re doing something else. Our grab-and-go culture encourages eating in a rush — the quicker the better. All too often, we end up wolfing down a few biscuits between calls as something to keep us going. But there’s a huge downside to our disconnected eating. When you don’t fully experience your food, you don’t pay attention to whether you’re hungry or not — or full or not. Our social media feeds are flooded with healthy recipes and there’s no end of focus on the quality of our food. But there’s comparatively little focus on how we eat it — and actually that makes all the difference. So, let’s turn our attention to eating slowly, mindfully and with enjoyment. Here’s a challenge for you: Can you practice eating at least one meal a day without any distractions (分心)? No smartphone, no TV, no radio, no newspaper, no magazines? You might well feel a lot of resistance to it at first ... but keep trying! 4. What was the author’s initial opinion about multitasking while eating? A. It was a waste of time. B. It worked people to death. C. It was an efficient time-using way. D. It dragged people from food enjoyment. 5. What did the author learn from her daughter? A. To fully enjoy simple eating pleasure. B. To maintain independence in growth. C. To effectively balance work and relaxation. D. To prioritize family over personal activities. 6. What does disconnected eating lead to? A. Forgetting being on a diet. B. Being particular about food. C. Addiction to multitask lifestyle. D. Unawareness of hunger and fullness. 7. What message does the author mainly convey? A. Modern lifestyles need big changes. B. Technology has bad impacts on dining habits. C. Enjoying meals attentively enhances well-being. D. Healthy recipes are more important than eating style. C Scientists have long debated whether the planet Venus (金星) could ever have supported life. Now, a study of its atmosphere suggests it probably couldn’t. Venus is sometimes referred to as “Earth’s evil (邪恶的) twin”. The two planets are similar in size and d are made of the same materials but up close, Venus’s “evil” side is revealed. The planet is covered with thick clouds of acid and has an average surface temperature of nearly 500℃. Plenty of spacecraft have been sent to study the planet, including Venus Express, but it is still a mystery. Some scientists thought it might have had oceans on its surface. This is important because liquid water is generally accepted as essential to the development of life, or, at least, the kind of life we know about. To work out if Venus once had oceans, the team wanted to see if there was any water inside the planet. They started the search by examining its atmosphere. On hot Venus, water gets into the atmosphere as steam thrown out during volcanic eruptions. By studying the planet’s atmosphere, the team found that very little water was needed to keep it stable. From that, they calculated that gases from Venus’s volcanoes are only 6% steam at most, far less than here on watery Earth. These “dry” eruptions on Venus suggest that the inside of the planet where the rock and gas in volcanic eruptions come from contains little water. The team said this lack of water suggests oceans have never existed on the planet. The study’s lead author, Tereza Constantinou, said, “Given that it likely never had oceans, it is hard to imagine Venus ever having supported Earth-like life, which requires liquid water.” What was the early evolution (进化) of Venus and how did its initial conditions go different from Earth? Exploring the potential for extreme microorganisms and studying ancient volcanic activity may provide further insights into the planet’s past and its potential for hosting alternative forms of life. 8. Why is Venus referred to as “Earth’s evil twin”? A. For its support for life in a different form. B. For a similar surface temperature to Earth. C. For the same atmospheric composition as Earth. D. For its similarity to Earth but worse environment. 9. What can we learn from the findings about Venus’s volcano steam? A. Venus had oceans replaced by volcanoes. B. Venus has been too hot to support life. C. Venus has never had large amounts of water. D. Venus was rich in rocks without water. 10. What future research is suggested to better understand Venus? A. The extreme climate on Venus-like planets. B. The possibility for extreme microorganisms. C. Sending more spacecraft to map the surface of it. D. Comparing the composition of Venus with other planets. 11. Which of the following serves as the best title for the text? A. Venus’s hidden secrets B. Early evolution of Venus C. No life on “Earth’s evil twin” D. More hope for “life in the heaven” D Think of microplastics and you might think of the ones gathering in the world’s oceans. However, they are also filling the air we breathe. Now, it has been discovered that forests might be acting gas a sink for these airborne microplastics, offering humanity yet another crucial service. The study has recently been published in Environmental Chemistry Letters, by a multi-institutional research group led by Professor Akane Miyazaki of Japan Women’s University. “We investigated airborne microplastics on konara oak tree leaves in a small forest in Tokyo,” says lead author of the study, Natsu Sunaga. “We wanted to determine a dependable method for analyzing levels of these microplastics on leaf surfaces, and how exactly airborne microplastics become trapped by leaves.” The leaves were treated using three processes: Washing with ultrapure water, blending treatment with ultrasonic waves (超声波) and washing with ultrapure water, and treatment with an alkaline (碱性的) solution of 10% potassium hydroxide. “We found that airborne microplastics strongly stick to the epicuticular wax (表皮蜡质) on the leaf surface,” explains Akane Miyazaki, senior author. “In other words, these particles gather when they stick to the waxy surface coating of leaves.” The team discovered that the first two treatments — washing with ultrapure water alone or in combination with ultrasonic waves — were not enough for accurately determining the levels of airborne microplastics on forest leaves. Treatment with alkaline potassium hydroxide, however, removed both the epicuticular wax and the substances stuck to it, proving to be an effective method. Crucially, previous studies that used only the first two methods may have underestimated the number of plastics stuck to leaf surfaces. “Based on our findings, we estimate that the Quercus serrata forests of Japan trap about 420 trillion airborne microplastics per year in their canopies,” states Sunaga. How the gradual increase of these microplastics will affect forest ecosystems, including ecosystem functions and soil health, is unknown, and this will undoubtedly be an area of further research. For now, we know that forests and even roadside trees might reduce the amount of plastic entering our lungs, and for that we have yet another reason to thank trees. 12. Why did the researchers employ three processes to treat the leaves? A. To arrange tasks reasonably. B. To decide a reliable method. C. To achieve the maximum effect. D. To celebrate a novel technology. 13. What does the underlined word “blending” in paragraph 3 mean? A Ignoring. B. Balancing. C. Combining. D. Promoting. 14. What is a key advantage of using alkaline potassium hydroxide? A. It completes the process more quickly. B. It preserves natural leaf color effectively. C. It does not require specialized equipment. D. It removes wax and stuck substances well. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. The benefits of forests for human health. B. The application of the new research results. C. The impact of microplastics on forest ecosystems. D. The improvement of microplastic-removing ways. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once upon a time, there was nothing to do with thoughts except remember them. There were neither letters to transcribe (记录) them in, nor paper to set them down upon. ____16____ Any story that would be retold, any idea that would be sent, and any piece of information that would be conveyed, first had to be remembered. ____17____ When I wake up, the first thing I do is check my day planner, which remembers my schedule so that I don’t have to. When I climb into my car, I enter my destination into a GPS device, whose spatial memory replaces my own. I have photographs to store the images and books to store knowledge I want to remember. Growing up, in the days when you still had to dial several buttons to make a telephone call, I could recall the numbers of all my close friends and family. ____18____ According to a survey, fully a third of British under the age of thirty can’t remember even their own home land line number without pulling it upon their handsets. The same survey found that 30 percent of adults can’t remember the birthdays of more than three immediate family members. ____19____ Forgotten phone numbers and birthdays represent minor decline of our everyday memory, but they are part of a much larger story of how we’ve replaced our own natural memory with a vast super-structure of technological supports. These technologies of storing information outside our minds have helped make our modern world possible. ____20____ A. Today it often seems we remember very little. B. I hit the play button on a digital voice recorder. C. It is easy to access humankind’s collective memory. D. Our brains have removed the need to remember such things.

We spent a lot of time in a state of debate. As much as I wanted to respect her wishes, I always had my own plans in my head. Her wishes and my plans were rarely the same. She would tell me to tie my shoelaces; I would argue that the knots made it harder to get my shoes off. She would demand that I make my bed; I would insist that it was not necessary. She would ask me to cut the grass in the backyard and I’d reply with a comprehensive list of all the reasons that the grass looked better tall and uncut. Round and round we’d go in a funny dance. She’d throw out a rule, and I’d find a loophole (漏洞) and jump through it. When all the loopholes were closed, I would switch strategies. Instead of arguing, I would try to find the closest open door and run. But it seemed that my mom was always waiting at the exit. I am convinced that weekends are not for work. They are for leisure and adventure. That’s why there’s no school on weekends. Nevertheless my mom thinks the other way. Last Saturday morning, when I was dreaming beneath my warm blanket, my bedroom door flew open and came the voice of my mother, “Wake up, Walter. It is time to start the day.” Pretending not to hear my mom, I tried to close my eyes even tighter. My mom didn’t wait for my response. She drew open the curtain and told me that we were going to have a thorough clean for our house and that I was in charge of tidying my bedroom and the study. “I am scheduled to go skating with my friends.” I was somewhat annoyed and made an excuse. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Before you can go outside, you need to finish inside,” my mom said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time I finished, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
