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. 1. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. In which country was the author stuck the longest? A. Russia. B. Italy. C. Armenia. D. France. 6. Which word best describes the author’s return journey from Russia to the UK? A. Smooth. B. Wonder-filled. C. Dangerous. D. Time-consuming. 7 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. What does FloraGuard check online? A. Seller profiles. B. Bank accounts. C. Private exchanges. D. Trading information. 11. 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. 12. What does the underlined word “render” in the first paragraph mean? A. View. B. Shape. C. Represent. D. Discover. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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. ____16____ 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 Malmō, my new friends introduced me to lagom. “You don’t have a translation for it in English”, they said proudly. “____17____” But they clarified, “No, it’s sort of ‘just right’.” Lagom, pronounced ‘Inh-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. ____18____ In a world where we’re connected 24/7, it often feels like we have so much on our plates. ____19____ A life with less stress and more time for the things we love sounds like the perfect balance. ____20____ 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 ____21____. But since Jan. 8, when my house ____22____ to the ground, turning everything into ash, I’ve had to accept help — including a (n) ____23____ to stay in a friend’s guesthouse for “as long as you need”. I was born in a household where self-sufficiency was a ____24____. My father had grown up very poor, raised by a single mother who ____25____ boarders to make ends meet rather than accept assistance. He carried those ____26____ with him. My mother made it clear that ____27____ assistance — even asking for a ride home from school from a friend’s parent who was going that direction ____28____ — was unthinkable. As ____29____ and emails piled up from people asking how they could help, I initially said no but finally _____30_____ it: refusing kindness is a form of unkindness. I had been turning those kind people away as if they were _____31_____ only as a formality. And that kind of _____32_____ is a lot ruder than asking for a ride home from school. Now I realize that help _____33_____ by the same rules as love. In order to give it, you must be willing to accept it. As _____34_____ 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 _____35_____. 21. A. open-minded B. time-conscious C. warm-hearted D. self-reliant 22. A. burned B. disappeared C. extended D. fell 23. A. attempt B. offer C. request D. choice 24.

A. dangerous B. terrible C. shameful D. confusing 35. 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 ____36____ (enjoy) for over 2,000 years. “Tofu” and “cheese” have ____37____ (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 ____38____ a dessert when dressed with syrup (糖浆) — to the refrigerated boxed-in-water versions. Some critics dismiss tofu as ____39____ (taste), suggesting that people eat it only because they feel they should. However, tofu deserves far more ____40____ (recognize) for its potential as a delicious addition to many meals. For those who want to reduce their meat consumption, tofu can prove ____41____ surprisingly delicious stand-in. ____42____ (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 ____43____ (swim) in a spicy sauce balance perfectly with the soft texture of silken tofu. Soft tofu cut in ____44____ (square) makes a bed for a whole steamed fish bathed in chillies and garlic. Whether in its simplest form _____45_____ 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） 46. 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） 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 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BBAAC 6-10 CCBAC 11-15 ABCCA 16-20 BABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 龙东高中十校联盟高三学年 英语学科 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂：非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整，笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4.作图可先使用铅笔画出，确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1.

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. 4. 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. 5. In which country was the author stuck the longest? A. Russia. B. Italy. C. Armenia. D. France. 6. Which word best describes the author’s return journey from Russia to the UK? A. Smooth. B. Wonder-filled. C. Dangerous. D. Time-consuming. 7. 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】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者带着宠物猫乘飞机旅行的艰难经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“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. (当我想到自己可能会错过航班，只能坐一整晚火车时，我脸上的神情显然触动了他们。最后，他们同意我登机，但我必须把猫笼再加固一下。)”可知，作者的表情软化了两位海关官员，让他们决定让作者带着猫乘飞机。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“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. (我的猫在火车上安静地坐着，顺利通过了登机检查，当它们出现在亚美尼亚的埃里温机场时，看起来完全没有受到影响。但在埃里温却出现了一个问题需要解决 —— 疫苗接种错误，这意味着我好几个月都无法返回西欧。我找了一间防猫的公寓，然后解决了疫苗的问题。)”可知，作者在亚美尼亚因为疫苗错误的问题好几个月都无法返回西欧，在那里停留的时间最长。故选 C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“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. (然后我们降落在了意大利，把猫带进意大利并没有遇到什么问题 —— 意大利人几乎都没怎么看那些费了好大劲才准备好的文件 —— 但要回英国呢？那就困难多了。按规定，动物可以搭乘飞机进入英国，但几乎没有航空公司愿意承运。唯一的选择是先飞到巴黎，然后再坐火车去加来。经过八个月的奔波，我终于带着我的猫回到了家。)”可知，作者从俄罗斯返回英国花了很长时间，故用“time-consuming (耗时的)”最能描述作者从俄罗斯返回英国的旅程。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第三段“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. (带着宠物出行是个极其麻烦的过程。在搭乘飞机前，有无数的事情要处理：打疫苗、准备文件，然后还要应付猫本身。)”和倒数第二段中“After eight months of travel, I finally got my cats back home. (经过八个月的奔波，我终于带着我的猫回到了家。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者带着宠物猫乘飞机旅行的艰难经历。A选项“The Horror of Travelling with Pets (带宠物旅行的恐怖)”最能概括文章主旨。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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. What does FloraGuard check online? A. Seller profiles. B. Bank accounts. C. Private exchanges. D. Trading information. 11. 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】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了大卫・怀特黑德（David Whitehead）致力于拯救濒危植物肉锥花（conophytum）的相关情况。肉锥花因其独特外形在社交媒体上受关注，需求导致非法采集和贩卖，许多物种濒临灭绝。怀特黑德所在的英国皇家植物园邱园采取了多种措施，包括使用软件监测和进行实验等，以阻止非法贸易，保护这些濒危植物。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (在这个吸引眼球的怪物在社交媒体上吸引点赞的时代，肉锥花变得非常受欢迎。在网上搜索，你会发现许多粉丝在炫耀花了令人瞠目结舌的价钱买来的肉锥花。)”可知，在社交媒体时代，肉锥花因其独特性备受青睐，网上有很多粉丝炫耀以高价购买的肉锥花，说明它们很受欢迎，被大量追求。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“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. (在大约一百种肉锥花物种，在过去的五年中，有八种已经在野外灭绝，47种濒临灭绝。有组织的非法采收和贩卖是罪魁祸首。)”指出在大约一百种肉锥花物种中，过去五年里有八种在野外灭绝，四十七种濒危，强调了它们所处的危急状态。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“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，邱园的科学家们使用一款名为FloraGuard的软件扫描互联网，寻找任何可疑植物销售的迹象。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。”该软件收集交易模式——品种、价格和地点——而不是追踪出售植物的个人。)”可知，FloraGuard 软件用于扫描互联网上可疑的植物销售迹象，它关注的是贸易中的模式，如物种、价格和地点等交易信息，而不是卖家个人资料、银行账户或私人交易。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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肉锥花物种进行实验，看看他们是否能识别出野生植物特有的化学特征。怀特黑德说：“区分野生植物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确定野生植物特有的化学特征，以便区分野生和人工种植的植物，也就是追踪植物的来源，从而起到威慑非法贸易的作用。故选A项。 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. 12. What does the underlined word “render” in the first paragraph mean? A. View. B. Shape. C. Represent. D. Discover. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. Which category does the book The Narrative Brain fall into? A. Biology. B. Recreation. C. Self-help. D. Psychology. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要介绍了Fritz Breithaupt的著作《The Narrative Brain》，探讨了人类为何通过故事来理解世界，以及叙事思维的作用和局限性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“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)”可知，文章讨论的是如何用故事来表达我们的人生经历，因此“render”指的是“表现”或“呈现”这些故事的方式。因此选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“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 (不连贯的故事在传递过程中变得更加逻辑和一致，表明讲故事如何为复杂混乱的世界带来意义和秩序)”，可推知Breithaupt的“电话游戏”研究说明了故事在重复讲述中变得更加清晰。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Breithaupt warns that our addiction to narrative— however fulfilling— can close off possibilities outside the borders of our pet stories. (Breithaupt警告，我们对叙事的沉迷——尽管令人满足——可能会关闭我们偏爱的故事之外的可能性)”，可知，叙事成瘾会让我们陷入自己偏爱的故事版本中。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文，尤其是第三段“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，这表明它们带来的情感（比如浪漫故事成功时的喜悦）是其吸引力的核心)”以及最后两段“The Narrative Brain”讨论如何通过叙事来应对复杂的世界等，可以推断该书属于心理学领域。故选D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。 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. ____16____ 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 Malmō, my new friends introduced me to lagom. “You don’t have a translation for it in English”, they said proudly. “____17____” But they clarified, “No, it’s sort of ‘just right’.” Lagom, pronounced ‘Inh-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. ____18____ In a world where we’re connected 24/7, it often feels like we have so much on our plates. ____19____ A life with less stress and more time for the things we love sounds like the perfect balance. ____20____ 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】16. C 17. A 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了瑞典的“lagom”文化概念，强调平衡与适度的生活方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The long hours of daylight were spent eating home-baked waffles (华夫饼) with strawberry jam and swimming in the sea.(在漫长的白天，我们吃着家里烤的加了草莓酱的华夫饼，在海里游泳)”及下文“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.(我们没有时间表要遵守，工作也离我们越来越远。这是关于放慢脚步，享受温暖的天气，在家人和朋友的陪伴下，充分利用大自然所提供的一切)”可知，本段落介绍瑞典的慢节奏生活。由此可知，C. The days were carefree and uncomplicated.(那些日子无忧无虑，简简单单)体现这种轻松愉快的氛围，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“You don’t have a translation for it in English(你们英语中没有它合适的翻译)”及下文“No, it’s sort of ‘just right’.(不，这是一种‘刚刚好’的意思)”的否定回答可知，lagom是一个很难直接翻译的词，该空应该是作者对于lagom词义的一个猜测。由此可知，A. I guessed it meant “perfect”.(我猜它的意思是“完美”)符合前后文语境。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“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是指找到一种适合你的平衡。水可以lagom程度的热。你可以做lagom量的工作。裤子可以lagom很合身)”可知，这里解释lagom是关于找到适合自己的平衡点，后面列举三个使用这个词的场景做例子。由此可知，D. It’s a word you can use in almost any context.(这个词几乎可以在任何语境中使用)符合语境。故选D项。 【19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. (在一个全天候联系的世界里，我们常常觉得自己有太多事情要做)”及下文“A life with less stress and more time for the things we love sounds like the perfect balance.(压力更少，有更多时间做我们喜欢的事情的生活听起来是完美的平衡)”可知，现代生活压力巨大，而这样慢节奏的生活很好。由此可知，F. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all slow down a little? (如果我们都能慢下来不是很好吗？)恰好与此想法呼应，表达了对慢下来生活的向往。故选F项。 【20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;(然而，我希望本书中的观点也能帮助你更有意识地以其他方式引入lagom)”可知，空后转折后表示，希望读者可以有意识地在其他方面也保持lagom模式，推测前面表示读者可能已经在一些方面践行着lagom。由此可知，G. You are no doubt exercising lagom in many aspects of your life already.(毫无疑问，你已经在生活的许多方面开始使用lagom了)契合本段，in many aspects与in other ways, too呼应。故选G项。 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.

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, offering a sign language course will benefit both individuals and the community as a whole. 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。要求考生对于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？”这一情况，用英语发布留言。 【详解】1.词汇积累 增加，提高：increase→ enhance 此外：moreover → What’s more 提供：offering→ providing 宝贵的：valuable→ precious 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Lastly, this course could also encourage empathy and understanding, helping us become more mindful of the challenges faced by the hearing-impaired community. 拓展句：Lastly, this course could also encourage empathy and understanding, which helps us become more mindful of the challenges faced by the hearing-impaired community. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I believe sign language should be taught in our school.（运用了省略从属连词that引导的宾语从句。） 【高分句型2】In conclusion, offering a sign language course will benefit both individuals and the community as a whole.（运用了非谓语动词中的动名词短语作主语。） 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 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】 "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. 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 Perry, eleven hundred feet.” Eleven hundred feet — hearing his own rocket’s height made Tom’s heart sink. 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，文章讲述了火箭比赛中汤姆的经历。常胜的汤姆因常获胜不被其他孩子喜欢，关系疏远。火箭比赛前，汤姆检查自己的火箭，发现多数孩子的有瑕疵，唯独埃德的火箭让他觉得有威胁。埃德主动夸奖并祝福他，汤姆回应冷淡。后来汤姆发现埃德的火箭尾翼被弄松，虽有愧疚但本不想提醒以免失去稳赢机会。比赛中，看到其他孩子即便输了也开心，汤姆感到孤独。轮到埃德发射时，汤姆还是提醒了他。最终埃德的火箭发射高度更高，汤姆输掉比赛。心情低落时，埃德感谢他，其他孩子也围过来称赞他的行为，有人请他帮忙，汤姆感到放松，意识到比赛已不那么重要，更体会到友善带来的温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“下一个是埃德·马洛。广播员打断了汤姆的白日梦。”可知，第一段可描写汤姆提醒埃德火箭的问题以及埃德发射的火箭顺利升空。 ②由第二段首句内容“1100英尺——听到自己火箭的高度，汤姆的心一沉。”可知，第二段可描写埃德赢得了比赛以及汤姆的内心感受。 2.续写线索：下一个是埃德——提醒埃德火箭的问题——火箭顺利升空——埃德赢得了比赛——汤姆的内心感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：fix /mend ②注意到：noticed/ observed ③紧握着：Squeezing/Griping 情绪类 ①使惊讶：surprised /astonished ②放松的：relaxed/ eased 【点睛】[高分句型1] When Tom’s name was called, he launched his rocket, which soared smoothly. （运用了When引导的时间状语从句以及which引导的非限制性定语从句。） [高分句型2] He noticed a few other kids who’d gathered around him.（运用了who引导的定语从句。） 1-5 BBAAC 6-10 CCBAC 11-15 ABCCA 16-20 BABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
