See the ones over there by the boat? They’re called Arctic terns, and they lead a much more exciting life than either you or me, sat here drinking coffee. W: By flying around the bay trying to steal people’s ice creams? M: Arctic terns don’t steal people’s ice creams — they travel the world! Every year they fly from the Arctic in the North Pole to Antarctica in the South Pole — and back again! W: What? How far is that? M: I remember reading that it traveled a total of 59,650 miles in one year! W: Wow! Why do they go so far? M: They hunt for fish during daylight hours. But for long periods of the year, the Antarctic is completely dark, so they travel north in search of light. Then, as the north becomes dark, they head back south! They do this again and again each year. W: Okay, you’re right — they’re anything but boring! 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. Why does the man come to the woman? A. To express his thanks. B.

W: Let’s take a look… If you could bring your legs up and tuck your knees under your chin… That’s right… Now slowly extend them… How does that feel? M: Fine. W: Okay, stand up, and do a few jumps in the air… Good. How does it feel as you land? M: Fine. I can’t feel anything painful in my knee. So, what do you think? If I start training this week, I might be fit enough to play in the cup final. W: Well, the knee appears to be working normally.

C 【解析】 【原文】Hello, and welcome to this talk about the effects social media has on our children’s emotions. Please excuse me if I express poorly — I’ve never spoken to this many people before. Now, you all have children at this school, and most of them will have access to a phone or tablet at home. Many will have an online presence, and all of this can be concerning. Understanding other people’s thoughts has long been a problem for humans. Over the years, humans have learned how to “read” people through body language, tone of voice, and other human behaviors. This is not always easy, but it does help in understanding one another. However, messages on social media can be even harder to understand. Without body language or tone of voice to “read”, we are left with a sentence on a screen, and perhaps a picture of a face. This “cut-off” from traditional human communication can be particularly concerning. It can cause uncertainty, anxiety, and stress. Now, before we go into any depth, can I direct everyone to the table at the back where there are plenty of refreshments? Please grab yourself a drink, and we’ll start the main part of the talk in five minutes. 第二部分 阅读（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分,，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Conversations With Journalists: An Invitation for Teenagers Would your students be excited if your curriculum (课程) included this article? What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic, and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students? If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work. Why We Are Doing This As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis- and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important. How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating. Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section. Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students. Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article. Let Us Know What You Think If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 22. What is the purpose of the program? A. To inspire students to pursue journalism. B. To give students insights into journalism. C. To teach students how to fact-check news. D. To encourage students to share their stories. 23. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions? A Day 1. B. Days 2-8. C. Days 9-13. D. Days 13-14. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了“与记者的对话”这一活动的详细信息。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Would your students be excited if your curriculum (课程) included this article.(如果你的课程中包含这篇文章，你的学生会兴奋吗？)”可知，文章是写给老师的。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Why We Are Doing This部分“And with mis- and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important.(随着错误信息和虚假信息、生成式人工智能以及对传统媒体的不信任都在增加，我们相信，帮助年轻人了解新闻业的工作原理以及它为何重要，比以往任何时候都更加关键。)”可知，这个项目的目的是让学生深入了解新闻业。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work部分“Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the ‘reporter reply’ feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students.(第9-13天：记者使用“记者回复”功能在评论区回复学生，以便读者可以轻松看到回复。然后，学生继续回复记者和其他学生。)”可知，学生在第9-13天有机会向记者提出后续问题。故选C。 B It’s 7 AM. I’ve got to Milan Linate airport two hours before my plane to Bari, and already things are going horribly wrong. The airline won’t let my cats fly with me, despite having all the required documents. Two uniformed men insist my carry-cage is wrong. I tell them honestly that I flew with it from Britain the day before — the very same airline to this very airport, but they’re having none of it. As I picture missing my flight and going overnight on the train, something on my face clearly touches them. Finally, they agree I can travel, but I must double-secure the cage. Traveling with pets is a horrible process. There are endless things to take care of before flying: vaccines (疫苗), documents, and then simply dealing with the cats themselves. The first time I flew with my cats, when I came back home from Russia, I worried about how they’d cope with the journey. Surprisingly, everything went smoothly. My cats sat quietly on the train, were accepted for flight, and when they reappeared in Yerevan airport, Armenia, they looked completely unbothered. But in Yerevan there was a problem to deal with — wrong vaccine meant I couldn’t return to Western Europe for months. I found a cat-proof flat, and dealt with the vaccine issue. Then we landed in Italy, where getting the cats in had been no problem — the Italians barely looked at those hard-fought documents — but back to Britain? Much harder. Officially animals can be flown into the UK — but almost no airline’s prepared to do it. The only option was to fly to Paris and get a train to Calais. After eight months of travel, I finally got my cats back home. Despite the trouble, the bond I’ve formed with my cats over these difficult months is something I wouldn’t trade. Their patience and trust have made me realize that these challenges have been some of the most meaningful moments of my life. 24. Why did the two customs officers decide to let the author fly with his cats? A. The author’s expression softened them. B. The author’s explanation convinced them. C. The author presented sufficient documents. D. The author doubled-secured his carry-cage. 25. In which country was the author stuck the longest? A. Russia. B. Italy. C. Armenia. D. France. 26. Which word best describes the author’s return journey from Russia to the UK? A. Smooth. B. Wonder-filled. C. Dangerous. D. Time-consuming. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Horror of Travelling with Pets. B. The First Time I Travelled with Pets. C. Pets and Passports: An Unlikely Adventure. D. From Russia to Britain: Reuniting with My Pets. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与猫一起旅行遇到的种种困难。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As I picture missing my flight and going overnight on the train, something on my face clearly touches them. Finally, they agree I can travel, but I must double-secure the cage. (当我想象着错过航班，在火车上过夜时，我脸上的某种东西显然触动了他们。最后，他们同意我可以旅行了，但我必须把笼子双层加固)”可知，作者的表情让海关官员态度软化，决定让他带着猫飞行。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But in Yerevan there was a problem to deal with — wrong vaccine meant I couldn’t return to Western Europe for months. I found a cat-proof flat, and dealt with the vaccine issue. (但是在埃里温有一个问题需要处理——错误的疫苗意味着我几个月都回不了西欧。我找到了一个防猫的公寓，解决了疫苗的问题)”可知，此处作者需要租房居住数月，而在其他国家仅仅需要赶路，说明在亚美尼亚的埃里温停留了最长的时间。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。文章提到作者从俄罗斯到英国的返程过程复杂且耗时结合倒数第二段“After eight months of travel, I finally got my cats back home. (经过八个月的旅行，我终于把我的猫带回家了)”可知，作者的返程旅程耗时很长。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章描述了作者和猫的旅行经历，特别是在多国间的艰难旅程。从第一二段的旅行不顺利，到第三段第一句的主题句“Traveling with pets is a horrible process. (带着宠物旅行是一个可怕的过程)”接下来又描写了第一次与猫出游的种种困难。故A选项“带宠物旅行的恐怖”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C The endangered plants David Whitehead is trying to save are conophytum: sometimes grey or reddish, sometimes cube-shaped or round, always strange and otherworldly. It’s hard to find words to describe them. In an age when eye-catching oddities attract likes on social media, conophytum have become highly desirable. Search online and you will find scores of fans showing off conophytum bought for eye-watering sums. Where demand like this exists, criminals will be prepared to break international law to meet it. Of the hundred or so conophytum species, eight have now gone extinct in the wild over the past five years and forty-seven are endangered. Organised illegal harvesting and trafficking is to blame. Whitehead works as a science officer at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which is committed to finding ways to end the illegal global trade in plants. In South Africa, where most conophytum species are found, harvesting them from the wild is forbidden. These plants grow incredibly slowly. Once removed, they won’t grow back next year. Now there are areas completely barren (贫瘠), and restoring these ecosystems will be extremely challenging. Endangered plants may be artificially cultivated (种植) and sold legally. “The cultivation industry is good for conservation - it takes the pressure off wild plants,” Whitehead says. “But we need to find measures that support the legal trade and block the illegal trade.” To assist law enforcement, Kew’s scientists use a piece of software called FloraGuard to scan the Internet for any signs of suspicious plant sales. “But we can only look at content that’s already been made public - online marketplaces or public-facing chatrooms,” Whitehead says. The software picks up patterns in trade - species, prices and locations - rather than pursue individuals who are selling plants. Whitehead’s team is also conducting experiments on the conophytum to see if they can identify any chemical signatures unique to wild plants. “The ability to differentiate between wild and cultivated plants would hopefully be a deterrent (威慑) as well,” Whitehead says. 28. What can we learn about conophytum? A. They are much sought after. B. They are regenerating quickly. C. They are unique to South Africa. D. They are sold at a reasonable price. 29. What does paragraph 3 highlight about conophytum? A. The wide variety they enjoy. B. The critical state they are in. C. The illegal use they are put to. D. The potential harm they cause. 30. What does FloraGuard check online? A. Seller profiles. B. Bank accounts. C. Private exchanges. D. Trading information. 31. What is the purpose of the experiments conducted by Whitehead’s team? A. To track plant origins. B. To identify plant species. C. To increase public awareness. D. To improve cultivation techniques. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。David Whitehead及其团队努力拯救濒危植物conophytum (一种多肉植物)。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In an age when eye-catching oddities attract likes on social media, conophytum have become highly desirable. Search online and you will find scores of fans showing off conophytum bought for eye-watering sums. (在一个引人注目的奇特事物在社交媒体上吸引点赞的时代，conophytum变得非常受欢迎。在网上搜索，你会发现许多粉丝在炫耀他们以惊人的价格购买的绞股蓝。)”可知，在这个社交媒体时代，怪奇之物备受关注，conophytum变得极为抢手，被大量追求。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Of the hundred or so conophytum species, eight have now gone extinct in the wild over the past five years and forty-seven are endangered. Organised illegal harvesting and trafficking is to blame. (在大约一百种蕨类植物中，八种在过去五年中已经在野外灭绝，四十七种濒临灭绝。有组织的非法采伐和贩运是罪魁祸首。)”可知，这段文字突出了conophytum处于严重的濒危状态。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段“To assist law enforcement, Kew’s scientists use a piece of software called FloraGuard to scan the Internet for any signs of suspicious plant sales. “But we can only look at content that’s already been made public - online marketplaces or public-facing chatrooms,” Whitehead says. The software picks up patterns in trade - species, prices and locations - rather than pursue individuals who are selling plants. (为了协助执法，邱园的科学家使用一款名为FloraGuard的软件扫描互联网，寻找任何可疑的植物销售迹象。怀特黑德说：“但我们只能查看已经公开的内容——在线市场或面向公众的聊天室。”。该软件能够识别贸易模式——物种、价格和地点——而不是追踪销售植物的个人。)”可知，FloraGuard软件扫描网络是为了获取可疑植物销售的迹象，它关注的是贸易模式，如物种、价格和地点等交易信息，而非卖家资料、银行账户或私人交流。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Whitehead’s team is also conducting experiments on the conophytum to see if they can identify any chemical signatures unique to wild plants. “The ability to differentiate between wild and cultivated plants would hopefully be a deterrent (威慑) as well,” Whitehead says. (怀特黑德的团队也在对蕨类植物进行实验，看看他们是否能识别出野生植物特有的任何化学特征。怀特黑德说：“区分野生和栽培植物的能力也有望成为一种威慑。”。)”可知，怀特黑德的团队进行实验是为了识别野生植物特有的化学特征，从而能够区分野生和人工种植的植物，也就是追踪植物的来源，起到威慑非法交易的作用。故选A。 D Humans are storytelling animals. We narrate (讲述) our lives as soon as we can speak and populate those tales with classic characters: heroes, friends, victims. In The Narrative Brain, Fritz Breithaupt explores why we render the world in stories — and how the rewards of narrative thinking keep us telling stories. Despite its title, very little of The Narrative Brain is about biological wetware that makes storytelling possible. Breithaupt is less interested in brain-scan findings than in how stories evolve as they move between tellers and what that evolution reveals about the purpose stories serve. Breithaupt’s inquiry draws on “telephone game” studies that ask each participant to tell a story in their own words, then pass it to someone else who does the same. These ongoing exchanges, he argues, help to illustrate what narratives do for us. Disjointed tales grow more logical and consistent as they move down the line, showing how storytelling brings sense and order to a complex, chaotic world. Stories’ emotional power, however, stays much the same in repeated tellings, suggesting that the feelings they bring forth (say, joy when a romance works out) are core to their appeal. Breithaupt warns that our addiction to narrative — however fulfilling — can close off possibilities outside the borders of our pet stories. Casting ourselves as victims tempts us to stay in that role, and when we want to believe justice will win out, we may not accept realities that go in a different direction. Even so, Breithaupt remains a narrative optimist. Our storytelling ability, he argues, prepares us to master what he calls “playability”: rendering endless possible futures in story form, which helps us anticipate and plan for the best of these futures. “Narratives can be the medium of our unhappiness,” he writes, “but they are also the means of escaping it.” He includes few details about how to achieve this escape; unlike the classic stories that inspired it, The Narrative Brain does not build to a clear resolution. Yet its very open-endedness — its invitation to reimagine ill-fitting stories — makes it a timely corrective to our fierce desire for certainty. 32. What does the underlined word “render” in the first paragraph mean? A. View. B. Shape. C. Represent. D. Discover. 33. What is illustrated by Breithaupt’s “telephone game” studies? A. Brain activity changes during storytelling. B. Stories become clearer through retellings. C. Emotions in stories vary with each retelling. D. Storytelling is based on scientific principles. 34. What problem comes with narrative addiction, according to Breithaupt? A. It blocks our understanding of others’ stories. B. It traps us in our preferred versions of stories. C. It causes us to ignore contradictions in our stories. D. It fuels our desire for certainty and clear resolutions. 35. Which category does the book The Narrative Brain fall into? A. Biology. B. Recreation. C. Self-help. D. Psychology. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。Fritz Breithaupt在《叙事大脑》一书中探讨人类为何讲故事，以及它对我们生活的意义。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Humans are storytelling animals. We narrate our lives as soon as we can speak and populate those tales with classic characters: heroes, friends, victims. (人类是讲故事的动物。只要我们能说话，我们就会叙述我们的生活，并在这些故事中加入经典人物：英雄、朋友、受害者)”可以推测，文章讨论的是如何用故事来呈现我们的人生经历，因此“render”指的是“表现”或“呈现”这些故事的方式。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Disjointed tales grow more logical and consistent as they move down the line, showing how storytelling brings sense and order to a complex, chaotic world. (随着剧情的发展，脱节的故事变得更有逻辑性和连贯性，展示了讲故事如何为一个复杂、混乱的世界带来意义和秩序)”可知，Breithaupt的研究表明故事在反复讲述后会变得更清晰。故选B。 34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Breithaupt warns that our addiction to narrative — however fulfilling — can close off possibilities outside the borders of our pet stories. Casting ourselves as victims tempts us to stay in that role, and when we want to believe justice will win out, we may not accept realities that go in a different direction. (Breithaupt警告说，我们对叙事的沉迷——无论多么令人满足——可能会关闭我们喜欢的故事边界之外的可能性。把自己塑造成受害者会诱使我们继续扮演这个角色，当我们想要相信正义会胜出时，我们可能不会接受朝着不同方向发展的现实)”可知，对叙事着迷会把我们困在自己偏好的故事版本中。因此选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Stories’ emotional power, however, stays much the same in repeated tellings, suggesting that the feelings they bring forth (say, joy when a romance works out) are core to their appeal. (然而，故事的情感力量在反复讲述中保持不变，这表明它们所带来的感觉（比如，当一段恋情成功时的喜悦）是它们吸引力的核心)”以及Fritz Breithaupt在《叙事大脑》一书中探讨人类为何讲故事，以及它对我们生活的意义。可以推断该书属于心理学领域。故选D。 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。 Fourteen years ago, I was invited to spend my summer holiday with a Swedish friend. The long hours of daylight were spent eating home-baked waffles (华夫饼) with strawberry jam and swimming in the sea. ___36___ We had no schedule to keep, and work couldn’t have been further from our minds. It was about slowing down, enjoying the warmer weather and making the most of what nature had to offer, surrounded by family and friends. As I settled into Swedish life, I realized that the calm approach wasn’t confined (局限) to the holidays. At a dinner party in Malmö, my new friends introduced me to lagom. “You don’t have a translation for it in English”, they said proudly.” ___37___ But they clarified, “No, it’s sort of ‘just right’.” Lagom, pronounced ‘lah-gom’ (‘la’ like ‘far’, ‘gom’ like ‘from’), is deeply rooted in the Swedish mindset. Often loosely translated as ‘not too much and not too little’, lagom is about finding a balance that works for you. Water can be lagom warm. You can work a lagom amount. Trousers can be a lagom fit. ___38___ In a world where we’re connected 24/7, it often feels like we have so much on our plates. ___39___ A life with less stress and more time for the things we love sounds like the perfect balance. ___40___ However, I hope the ideas in this book will help you think more consciously about introducing lagom in other ways, too; in a way that works for you. By making subtle changes to your everyday routine, you can find greater balance – and make time for the things that matter most in life. A. I guessed it meant “perfect”. B. Lagom is a type of art, not a lifestyle. C. The days were carefree and uncomplicated. D. It’s a word you can use in almost any context. E. We couldn’t help but worry about upcoming tasks. F. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all slow down a little? G. You are no doubt exercising lagom in many aspects of your life already. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. D 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了瑞典人的“lagom”生活理念，即一种追求平衡、适度、刚刚好的生活方式。 【36题详解】 根据上文“The long hours of daylight were spent eating home-baked waffles with strawberry jam and swimming in the sea.(漫长的白天，我们吃着家里烤的草莓酱华夫饼，在海里游泳。)”和下文“We had no schedule to keep, and work couldn’t have been further from our minds. It was about slowing down, enjoying the warmer weather and making the most of what nature had to offer, surrounded by family and friends.(我们没有日程安排，工作完全不在我们的考虑范围内。这是要放慢脚步，享受温暖的天气，充分利用大自然提供的一切，与家人和朋友在一起。)”可知，上下文都在描述作者和瑞典朋友一起度过的轻松自在的假期，所以空处也应该是在描述这种轻松愉快的氛围，选项C“那些日子无忧无虑，简单纯粹”符合语境。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据上文“You don’t have a translation for it in English.(在英语里你找不到对应的翻译。)”和下文“But they clarified, ‘No, it’s sort of ‘just right’.(但他们澄清说，“不，它是有点‘刚刚好’的意思”。)”可知，空处作者是在猜测lagom的意思，选项A“我猜它的意思是‘完美’”符合语境，且引出下文朋友对lagom意思的澄清。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Lagom, pronounced ‘lah-gom’ (‘la’ like ‘far’, ‘gom’ like ‘from’), is deeply rooted in the Swedish mindset. Often loosely translated as ‘not too much and not too little’, lagom is about finding a balance that works for you. Water can be lagom warm. You can work a lagom amount. Trousers can be a lagom fit.(Lagom，发音为‘lah-gom’（‘la’像‘far’，‘gom’像‘from’），深深植根于瑞典人的思维模式中。通常被粗略地翻译为‘不太多，也不太少’，lagom就是找到适合你的平衡。水可以是lagom温的。你可以做lagom量的工作。裤子可以是lagom合身的。)”可知，本段主要介绍了lagom的含义和用法，且空处为段尾句，应承接上文，选项D“这是一个你几乎可以在任何情境下使用的词”符合语境，总结了lagom的广泛适用性。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“In a world where we’re connected 24/7, it often feels like we have so much on our plates.(在这个我们全天候互联的世界里，我们常常感觉自己有太多的事情要做。)”和下文“A life with less stress and more time for the things we love sounds like the perfect balance.(压力更小、有更多时间做我们喜欢的事情的生活听起来很完美平衡。)”可知，上下文形成了对比，上文描述了现代生活的忙碌，下文则表达了对轻松生活的向往，所以空处应该是一个过渡句，引出对轻松生活的向往，选项F“如果我们都能放慢一点节奏，那不是很美好吗？”符合语境，既承接了上文的忙碌，又引出了下文的轻松生活。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据下文“However, I hope the ideas in this book will help you think more consciously about introducing lagom in other ways, too; in a way that works for you. By making subtle changes to your everyday routine, you can find greater balance — and make time for the things that matter most in life.(然而，我希望这本书中的想法能帮助你更有意识地思考如何以其他方式引入lagom；以一种对你有效的方式。通过对你的日常生活做出细微的改变，你可以找到更好的平衡——并为生活中最重要的事情腾出时间。)”可知，本段主要讲的是lagom在日常生活中的应用，且空处为段首句，应总领全段，选项G“你无疑已经在生活的方方面面实践着lagom了”符合语境，引出下文关于lagom在日常生活中的应用。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Until three weeks ago, my idea of accepting help was allowing another driver to let me in front of him while changing lanes (车道) in traffic.

In fact, it originated in China and ___56___ (enjoy) for over 2,000 years. “Tofu” and “cheese” have ___57___ (remarkable) similar production methods. Just as cheeses differ markedly in taste and texture (口感), tofu takes a variety of forms, from delicate silken tofu — delicious ___58___ a dessert when dressed with syrup (糖浆) — to the refrigerated boxed-in-water versions. Some critics dismiss tofu as ___59___ (taste), suggesting that people eat it only because they feel they should. However, tofu deserves far more ___60___ (recognize) for its potential as a delicious addition to many meals. For those who want to reduce their meat consumption, tofu can prove ___61___ surprisingly delicious stand-in. ___62___ (coat) in cornflour, shallow-fried, and sauced, tofu can create a firm and flavorful stir-fry. But tofu need not stand in for meat; it pairs well with meat too.

Soft tofu cut in ___64___ (square) makes a bed for a whole steamed fish bathed in chillies and garlic. Whether in its simplest form ___65___ as part of a more complex dish, tofu can surprise and satisfy even the most skeptical eaters. 【答案】56. has been enjoyed 57. remarkably 58. as 59. tasteless 60. recognition 61. a 62. Coated 63. swimming 64. squares 65. or 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了豆腐的历史和多样的用途。 【56题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：事实上，它起源于中国，距今已经被食用超过2000年。主语it和enjoy之间是被动关系，根据“for over 2,000 years”可知，此处需要使用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been enjoyed。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：“豆腐”和“奶酪”的制作方法非常相似。这里需要一个副词来修饰形容词“similar”，“remarkably similar”意为“惊人地相似”，强调豆腐和奶酪在制作方法上的相似之处。故填remarkably。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：就像奶酪在口感和质地上的显著差异一样，豆腐也有各种各样的形式，从细腻的丝状豆腐——涂上糖浆作为甜点的美味——到冷藏的盒装水豆腐。结合句意可知，此处表示“作为甜点时很美味”，因此需要使用介词“as”来表示“作为某种用途或角色”。故填as。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一些批评人士认为豆腐没有味道，认为人们吃豆腐只是因为他们觉得自己应该吃。批评者态度为负面，因此应该填入“tasteless”，表示“淡而无味的”。故填tasteless 。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，豆腐应该得到更多的认可，因为它有潜力成为许多食物的美味补充。空处应填名词作宾语，这里需要使用名词“recognition”，表示“认可、重视”。故填recognition。 【61题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：对于那些想减少肉类摄入量的人来说，豆腐是一种令人惊讶的美味替代品。根据语境，豆腐作为一个食材，可以被视为一种“美味的替代品”，因此应填入不定冠词“a”。故填a。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：裹上一层玉米粉，浅煎，再加上酱汁，豆腐就能炒得结实又美味。根据句子结构和意思，豆腐需要“涂上一层玉米粉”，coat和tofu之间是被动关系，因此使用过去分词作状语，首字母应大写。故填Coated。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：麻婆豆腐是四川人的最爱，有嚼劲的碎牛肉或猪肉浸泡在辣酱中，与丝滑的豆腐的柔软质地完美平衡。swim和chewy bits of ground beef or pork之间是主动关系，使用现在分词作后置定语。故填swimming。 【64题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：切成方块的软豆腐是整条蒸鱼的床，鱼浸泡在辣椒和大蒜中。软豆腐通常被切成“方块”，所以需要使用名词复数形式“squares”。故填squares。 【65题详解】 考查连词。句意：无论是最简单的形式还是作为更复杂的菜肴的一部分，豆腐都能让最怀疑的食客感到惊讶和满足。根据句意，豆腐无论是在最简单的形式中，还是作为更复杂菜肴的一部分，都能给人带来惊喜和满足，“whether…or…”表示“无论是……还是……”。故填or。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 你所在的国际学校在网站上发帖征求学生意见，主题为“我校是否应开设手语课程？”请你用英语发布留言，内容包括： 1. 你的观点； 2. 说明理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置做答。 My Views on Teaching Sign Language in Our School ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文1： My Views on Teaching Sign Language in Our School I believe sign language should be taught in our school. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, learning sign language will help increase awareness and inclusivity for students with hearing impairments. Moreover, knowing sign language will be a valuable skill for students in the future, whether for personal or professional purposes. Lastly, this course could also encourage empathy and understanding, helping us become more mindful of the challenges faced by the hearing-impaired community. In conclusion, only by introducing sign language can our school truly become a place of equal opportunities. I hope the school considers this valuable opportunity for us to learn and grow. 参考范文2： My Views on Teaching Sign Language in Our School I think teaching sign language is not the best use of our school’s resources at this time. Firstly, offering sign language may divert attention from more essential subjects, which may overload students. Secondly, most students may never have a direct need to use sign language, and learning it may not be as practical or relevant as other life skills that could be prioritized, such as financial literacy or digital literacy. Finally, it will cost money to train teachers in sign language. In conclusion, while sign language is important, I believe it may not be the most practical option for our school’s curriculum. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。文章要求考生在国际学校网站上就主题为“我校是否应开设手语课程？”的征求意见情况用英语发帖留言。 【详解】1.词汇积累 提高：increase→enhance 意识：awareness→consciousness 缺陷：impairment→imperfection 此外：moreover→furthermore 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Firstly, learning sign language will help increase awareness and inclusivity for students with hearing impairments.  拓展句：Firstly, learning sign language will help increase awareness and inclusivity for students who are with hearing impairments.  【点睛】【高分句型1】Lastly, this course could also encourage empathy and understanding, helping us become more mindful of the challenges faced by the hearing-impaired community.(运用了现在分词做状语和过去分词作后置定语) 【高分句型2】In conclusion, only by introducing sign language can our school truly become a place of equal opportunities.(运用了部分倒装句式) 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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 Tom Perry concentrated hard. The rocket competition would begin shortly, and he wanted to be sure he hadn’t left any detail unchecked. He had never lost a contest, but winning didn’t make everyone like him better. The other kids rarely came over to him. Whenever they did, it usually made him feel like they’d been forced to do it. No way, though, was he going over to them. He’d win again, and they couldn’t ignore that. Everything told him he had another winner — especially when he glanced at the other rockets, most of which had flaws. One rocket, however, caught his eye. Its finish glinted in the sun. It had the look. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. A thin boy lifted this rocket carefully. Tom turned away, focusing on his own. The boy approached with a nervous smile. He complimented (夸奖) Tom’s rocket, and Tom responded without much emotion, then regretted it. Ed, as he introduced himself, wished Tom luck and walked away. Tom’s gaze constantly drifted to Ed’s rocket. Suddenly his heart did a leap. Within an instant, Tom knew that Ed had no chance of winning. Tom had noticed that as Ed placed his rocket on the launch pad, one fin (尾翼) had caught on something, pulling it away from the main body — not enough to break it off, but enough to loosen it. Immediately the fin returned to place, only now fatally weakened. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave a thumbs-up sign. Tom felt a twinge (一阵) of regret but thought he wasn’t going to risk losing a sure win by saying anything. The announcer called the first contestant. Rocket after rocket was launched, with only some reaching respectable heights. But no one seemed upset. A joke was made and laughter spread, even among those who lost. Tom felt alone. He would have his victory, yet they seemed to be having more fun. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置做答。 “Ed Malo is next,” the announcer said, interrupting Tom’s daydream. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eleven hundred feet — hearing his own rocket’s height made Tom’s heart sink. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “Ed Malo is next,” the announcer said, interrupting Tom’s daydream. Ed moved to the launch area. Without thinking, words flowed from Tom’s mouth so that it almost surprised him to hear them, “Ed, hold up! Your fin is loose.” The announcer granted Ed five minutes to fix it. “If you kept quiet, you’d win for sure.” Ed muttered. Moments later, his rocket ignited, slicing through the sky flawlessly. Gasps turned into cheers as it climbed higher. When Tom’s name was called, he launched his rocket, which soared smoothly. Then came the results. “Ed Malo, eleven hundred fifty feet.” A great roar of applause erupted. Tom held his breath, waiting. “Tom Perry, eleven hundred feet.” Eleven hundred feet — hearing his own rocket’s height made Tom’s heart sink. Around him, the crowd’s voices wove together, a great noise from which he wanted to escape. Squeezing his rocket, he strode from the field. A hand fell on his shoulder. It was Ed. “Thanks,” Ed said. “Sorry you didn’t win.” Tom could feel that he meant it. He noticed a few other kids who’d gathered around him. A girl walked past and said, “It was nice what you did. Both of you are great rocketeers.” Laughter rippled through the group as someone mentioned needing Tom’s help with their own rockets. Tom gave a small nod. At that moment he felt relaxed, and the competition seemed very far away. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤姆佩里参加火箭比赛时，发现对手埃德的火箭尾翼在发射前已经松动，但埃德并未察觉。最终，汤姆告知了埃德这一事实，最终埃德取得胜利，但汤姆也体会到了参与的快乐，感到很放松。文章通过汤姆的经历，揭示了胜利与友谊、竞争与孤独之间的复杂关系。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段句首内容“‘下一个是埃德马洛’，解说员打断了汤姆的白日梦。”可知，第一段描写汤姆最终告知埃德他的问题所在，比赛正式开始，汤姆得知自己火箭的比赛高度。 ②由第二段句首内容“1100英尺——听到自己火箭的高度，汤姆的心一沉。”可知，汤姆的火箭高度不及对手，输掉了比赛，但是得到了对手埃德真心的感谢及周围同学的认可，最终感到放松。 2. 续写线索：解说员讲话——提醒对手——比赛开始——火箭升空——对手获胜——汤姆收到感谢，获得认可——感到放松 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：fix → mend ②喃喃自语：mutter → mumble to oneself ③逃跑：escape → run away 情绪类 ①（使）诧异：surprise → astonish ②保持沉默：keep quiet → remain quiet 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Without thinking, words flowed from Tom’s mouth so that it almost surprised him to hear them, “Ed, hold up!

What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students? If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work. Why We Are Doing This As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis- and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important. How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating. Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section. Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students. Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article. Let Us Know What You Think If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 22. What is the purpose of the program? A. To inspire students to pursue journalism. B. To give students insights into journalism. C. To teach students how to fact-check news. D. To encourage students to share their stories. 23. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions? A. Day 1. B. Days 2-8. C. Days 9-13. D. Days 13-14. B It’s 7 AM. I’ve got to Milan Linate airport two hours before my plane to Bari, and already things are going horribly wrong. The airline won’t let my cats fly with me, despite having all the required documents. Two uniformed men insist my carry-cage is wrong. I tell them honestly that I flew with it from Britain the day before — the very same airline to this very airport, but they’re having none of it. As I picture missing my flight and going overnight on the train, something on my face clearly touches them. Finally, they agree I can travel, but I must double-secure the cage. Traveling with pets is a horrible process. There are endless things to take care of before flying: vaccines (疫苗), documents, and then simply dealing with the cats themselves. The first time I flew with my cats, when I came back home from Russia, I worried about how they’d cope with the journey. Surprisingly, everything went smoothly. My cats sat quietly on the train, were accepted for flight, and when they reappeared in Yerevan airport, Armenia, they looked completely unbothered. But in Yerevan there was a problem to deal with — wrong vaccine meant I couldn’t return to Western Europe for months. I found a cat-proof flat, and dealt with the vaccine issue. Then we landed in Italy, where getting the cats in had been no problem — the Italians barely looked at those hard-fought documents — but back to Britain? Much harder. Officially animals can be flown into the UK — but almost no airline’s prepared to do it. The only option was to fly to Paris and get a train to Calais. After eight months of travel, I finally got my cats back home. Despite the trouble, the bond I’ve formed with my cats over these difficult months is something I wouldn’t trade. Their patience and trust have made me realize that these challenges have been some of the most meaningful moments of my life. 24. Why did the two customs officers decide to let the author fly with his cats? A. The author’s expression softened them. B. The author’s explanation convinced them. C. The author presented sufficient documents. D. The author doubled-secured his carry-cage. 25. In which country was the author stuck the longest? A. Russia. B. Italy. C. Armenia. D. France. 26. Which word best describes the author’s return journey from Russia to the UK? A. Smooth. B. Wonder-filled. C. Dangerous. D. Time-consuming. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Horror of Travelling with Pets. B. The First Time I Travelled with Pets. C. Pets and Passports: An Unlikely Adventure. D. From Russia to Britain: Reuniting with My Pets. C The endangered plants David Whitehead is trying to save are conophytum: sometimes grey or reddish, sometimes cube-shaped or round, always strange and otherworldly. It’s hard to find words to describe them. In an age when eye-catching oddities attract likes on social media, conophytum have become highly desirable. Search online and you will find scores of fans showing off conophytum bought for eye-watering sums. Where demand like this exists, criminals will be prepared to break international law to meet it. Of the hundred or so conophytum species, eight have now gone extinct in the wild over the past five years and forty-seven are endangered. Organised illegal harvesting and trafficking is to blame. Whitehead works as a science officer at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which is committed to finding ways to end the illegal global trade in plants. In South Africa, where most conophytum species are found, harvesting them from the wild is forbidden. These plants grow incredibly slowly. Once removed, they won’t grow back next year. Now there are areas completely barren (贫瘠), and restoring these ecosystems will be extremely challenging. Endangered plants may be artificially cultivated (种植) and sold legally. “The cultivation industry is good for conservation - it takes the pressure off wild plants,” Whitehead says. “But we need to find measures that support the legal trade and block the illegal trade.” To assist law enforcement, Kew’s scientists use a piece of software called FloraGuard to scan the Internet for any signs of suspicious plant sales. “But we can only look at content that’s already been made public - online marketplaces or public-facing chatrooms,” Whitehead says. The software picks up patterns in trade - species, prices and locations - rather than pursue individuals who are selling plants. Whitehead’s team is also conducting experiments on the conophytum to see if they can identify any chemical signatures unique to wild plants. “The ability to differentiate between wild and cultivated plants would hopefully be a deterrent (威慑) as well” Whitehead says. 28. What can we learn about conophytum? A. They are much sought after. B. They are regenerating quickly. C. They are unique to South Africa. D. They are sold at a reasonable price. 29. What does paragraph 3 highlight about conophytum? A. The wide variety they enjoy. B. The critical state they are in. C The illegal use they are put to. D. The potential harm they cause. 30. What does FloraGuard check online? A. Seller profiles. B. Bank accounts. C. Private exchanges. D. Trading information. 31. What is the purpose of the experiments conducted by Whitehead’s team? A. To track plant origins. B. To identify plant species. C. To increase public awareness. D. To improve cultivation techniques. D Humans are storytelling animals. We narrate (讲述) our lives as soon as we can speak and populate those tales with classic characters: heroes, friends, victims. In The Narrative Brain, Fritz Breithaupt explores why we render the world in stories — and how the rewards of narrative thinking keep us telling stories. Despite its title, very little of The Narrative Brain is about biological wetware that makes storytelling possible. Breithaupt is less interested in brain-scan findings than in how stories evolve as they move between tellers and what that evolution reveals about the purpose stories serve. Breithaupt’s inquiry draws on “telephone game” studies that ask each participant to tell a story in their own words, then pass it to someone else who does the same. These ongoing exchanges, he argues, help to illustrate what narratives do for us. Disjointed tales grow more logical and consistent as they move down the line, showing how storytelling brings sense and order to a complex, chaotic world. Stories’ emotional power, however, stays much the same in repeated tellings, suggesting that the feelings they bring forth (say, joy when a romance works out) are core to their appeal. Breithaupt warns that our addiction to narrative — however fulfilling — can close off possibilities outside the borders of our pet stories. Casting ourselves as victims tempts us to stay in that role, and when we want to believe justice will win out, we may not accept realities that go in a different direction. Even so, Breithaupt remains a narrative optimist. Our storytelling ability, he argues, prepares us to master what he calls “playability”: rendering endless possible futures in story form, which helps us anticipate and plan for the best of these futures. “Narratives can be the medium of our unhappiness,” he writes, “but they are also the means of escaping it.” He includes few details about how to achieve this escape; unlike the classic stories that inspired it, The Narrative Brain does not build to a clear resolution. Yet its very open-endedness — its invitation to reimagine ill-fitting stories — makes it a timely corrective to our fierce desire for certainty. 32. What does the underlined word “render” in the first paragraph mean? A. View. B. Shape. C. Represent. D. Discover. 33. What is illustrated by Breithaupt’s “telephone game” studies? A. Brain activity changes during storytelling. B. Stories become clearer through retellings. C. Emotions in stories vary with each retelling. D. Storytelling is based on scientific principles. 34. What problem comes with narrative addiction, according to Breithaupt? A. It blocks our understanding of others’ stories. B. It traps us in our preferred versions of stories. C. It causes us to ignore contradictions in our stories. D. It fuels our desire for certainty and clear resolutions. 35. Which category does the book The Narrative Brain fall into? A. Biology. B. Recreation. C. Self-help. D. Psychology. 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。 Fourteen years ago, I was invited to spend my summer holiday with a Swedish friend. The long hours of daylight were spent eating home-baked waffles (华夫饼) with strawberry jam and swimming in the sea. ___36___ We had no schedule to keep, and work couldn’t have been further from our minds. It was about slowing down, enjoying the warmer weather and making the most of what nature had to offer, surrounded by family and friends. As I settled into Swedish life, I realized that the calm approach wasn’t confined (局限) to the holidays. At a dinner party in Malmö, my new friends introduced me to lagom. “You don’t have a translation for it in English”, they said proudly.” ___37___ But they clarified, “No, it’s sort of ‘just right’.” Lagom, pronounced ‘lah-gom’ (‘la’ like ‘far’, ‘gom’ like ‘from’), is deeply rooted in the Swedish mindset. Often loosely translated as ‘not too much and not too little’, lagom is about finding a balance that works for you. Water can be lagom warm. You can work a lagom amount. Trousers can be a lagom fit. ___38___ In a world where we’re connected 24/7, it often feels like we have so much on our plates. ___39___ A life with less stress and more time for the things we love sounds like the perfect balance. ___40___ However, I hope the ideas in this book will help you think more consciously about introducing lagom in other ways, too; in a way that works for you. By making subtle changes to your everyday routine, you can find greater balance – and make time for the things that matter most in life. A. I guessed it meant “perfect”. B. Lagom is a type of art, not a lifestyle. C. The days were carefree and uncomplicated. D. It’s a word you can use in almost any context. E. We couldn’t help but worry about upcoming tasks. F. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all slow down a little? G. You are no doubt exercising lagom in many aspects of your life already. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Until three weeks ago, my idea of accepting help was allowing another driver to let me in front of him while changing lanes (车道) in traffic. Nothing makes me prouder than being ___41___. But since Jan. 8, when my house ___42___ to the ground, turning everything into ash, I’ve had to accept help — including a(n) ___43___ to stay in a friend’s guesthouse for “as long as you need”. I was born in a household where self-sufficiency was a ___44___. My father had grown up very poor, raised by a single mother who ___45___ boarders to make ends meet rather than accept assistance. He carried those ___46___ with him. My mother made it clear that ___47___ assistance — even asking for a ride home from school from a friend’s parent who was going that direction ___48___— was unthinkable. As ___49___ and emails piled up from people asking how they could help, I initially said no but finally ____50____ it: refusing kindness is a form of unkindness. I had been turning those kind people away as if they were ____51____ only as a formality. And that kind of ____52____ is a lot ruder than asking for a ride home from school. Now I realize that help ____53____ by the same rules as love. In order to give it, you must be willing to accept it. As ____54____ as things seem right now, I believe a day will come when my life will be better, and I’ll be the one doing the helping. I can’t ____55____. 41. A. open-minded B. time-conscious C. warm-hearted D. self-reliant 42. A. burned B. disappeared C. extended D. fell 43. A. attempt B. offer C. request D. choice 44. A. dream B. fantasy C. theory D. religion 45. A. called on B. turned away C. took in D. picked out 46. A. goals B. values C. responsibilities D. tasks 47. A. seeking B. giving C. denying D. volunteering 48. A. instead B. somehow C. anyway D. often 49. A. papers B. texts C. orders D. boxes 50. A. got B. hated C. deserved D. meant 51. A. judging B. working C. thinking D. asking 52. A. doubt B. misunderstanding C. criticism D. rejection 53. A. lasts B. matters C. plays D. changes 54. A. dangerous B. terrible C. shameful D. confusing 55. A. agree B. refuse C. wait D. handle 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Tofu — rich in calcium, protein, and a variety of minerals — remained largely unknown in Western diets until the 1960s. In fact, it originated in China and ___56___ (enjoy) for over 2,000 years. “Tofu” and “cheese” have ___57___ (remarkable) similar production methods. Just as cheeses differ markedly in taste and texture (口感), tofu takes a variety of forms, from delicate silken tofu — delicious ___58___ a dessert when dressed with syrup (糖浆) — to the refrigerated boxed-in-water versions. Some critics dismiss tofu as ___59___ (taste), suggesting that people eat it only because they feel they should. However, tofu deserves far more ___60___ (recognize) for its potential as a delicious addition to many meals. For those who want to reduce their meat consumption, tofu can prove ___61___ surprisingly delicious stand-in. ___62___ (coat) in cornflour, shallow-fried, and sauced, tofu can create a firm and flavorful stir-fry. But tofu need not stand in for meat; it pairs well with meat too. In mapo tofu, a Sichuanese favourite, chewy bits of ground beef or pork ___63___ (swim) in a spicy sauce balance perfectly with the soft texture of silken tofu. Soft tofu cut in ___64___ (square) makes a bed for a whole steamed fish bathed in chillies and garlic. Whether in its simplest form ___65___ as part of a more complex dish, tofu can surprise and satisfy even the most skeptical eaters. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 你所在的国际学校在网站上发帖征求学生意见，主题为“我校是否应开设手语课程？”请你用英语发布留言，内容包括： 1. 你的观点； 2. 说明理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置做答。 My Views on Teaching Sign Language in Our School ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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 Tom Perry concentrated hard. The rocket competition would begin shortly, and he wanted to be sure he hadn’t left any detail unchecked. He had never lost a contest, but winning didn’t make everyone like him better. The other kids rarely came over to him. Whenever they did, it usually made him feel like they’d been forced to do it. No way, though, was he going over to them. He’d win again, and they couldn’t ignore that. Everything told him he had another winner — especially when he glanced at the other rockets, most of which had flaws. One rocket, however, caught his eye. Its finish glinted in the sun. It had the look. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. A thin boy lifted this rocket carefully. Tom turned away, focusing on his own. The boy approached with a nervous smile. He complimented (夸奖) Tom’s rocket, and Tom responded without much emotion, then regretted it. Ed, as he introduced himself, wished Tom luck and walked away. Tom’s gaze constantly drifted to Ed’s rocket. Suddenly his heart did a leap. Within an instant, Tom knew that Ed had no chance of winning. Tom had noticed that as Ed placed his rocket on the launch pad, one fin (尾翼) had caught on something, pulling it away from the main body — not enough to break it off, but enough to loosen it. Immediately the fin returned to place, only now fatally weakened. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave a thumbs-up sign. Tom felt a twinge (一阵) of regret but thought he wasn’t going to risk losing a sure win by saying anything. The announcer called the first contestant. Rocket after rocket was launched, with only some reaching respectable heights. But no one seemed upset. A joke was made and laughter spread, even among those who lost. Tom felt alone. He would have his victory, yet they seemed to be having more fun. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置做答。 “Ed Malo is next,” the announcer said, interrupting Tom’s daydream. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eleven hundred feet — hearing his own rocket’s height made Tom’s heart sink. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。They care for the animals so much at this zoo.

Please excuse me if I express poorly. I've never spoken to this many people before. Now you all have children at this school, and most of them will have access to a phone or tablet at home, many will have an online presence, and all of this can be concerning. Understanding other people's thoughts has long been a problem for humans. Over the years, humans have learned how to read people through body language, tone of voice and other human behaviors. This is not always easy, but IT does help in understanding one another. However, messages on social media can be even harder to understand without body language or tone a voice to read, we are left with a sentence on a screen and perhaps a picture of a face. This cut off from traditional human communication can be particularly concerning. IT can cause uncertainty, anxiety and stress. Now, before we go into any depth, can I direct everyone to the table at the back where there are plenty of refreshments? Please grab yourself a drink and we'll start the main part of the talk in five minutes. Hello, and welcome to this talk about the effects social media has on our children's emotions.
