【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】A heartbreaking image captures a young polar bear sleeping on the melting pieces of a tiny iceberg. British part-time photographer Nima Sarikhani captured the scene in Svalbard, which sits deep inside the Arctic Circle, around 500 miles from the North Pole. The image was crowned the winner of this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award. After three days of desperately searching for polar bears through thick fog, Sarikhani finally spotted two polar bears — a younger male and an older male. Just before midnight, as the ship got close to the bears, the younger one climbed onto a small iceberg and carved out a bed with his paws before falling asleep. Sarikhani said this photograph has caused strong emotions in many of those who have seen it. An estimated 26,000 polar bears remain in the wild, and they are at the risk of dying out as rising temperatures melt away the sea ice these animals depend on. Director of the Natural History Museum said, “The heartbreaking image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet. His thought-provoking image is a striking reminder of the essential bond between an animal and its habitat and serves as a visual representation of the harmful impacts of climate warming and habitat loss.” Sarikhani said he hoped his photograph could inspire hope. He added there is still time to fix the mess we have caused.

3 Low-Impact Adventures to Try Across the UK
There are loads of ways to take in the UK’s landscape without putting a strain on the environment.
1. Stay in an eco-friendly treehouse in Stirlingshire
Located on different parts of protected woodland, the Lanrick and Leckie Treehouses come with a far smaller footprint than your average holiday accommodation. They are just four miles from the Trossachs National Park, located in central Scotland. This provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and bird watching.
The Treehouses at Lanrick cost £245 a night for one person, with a minimum two-night stay. You need to pay an extra £30 for The Treehouses at Leckie.
2. Go wild camping on the Isle of Rum
You can take a ferry trip from Mallaig to Rum, and into one of Scotland’s most rugged wildernesses. It combines hiking, wildlife spotting and camping. There’s no option to explore by car or public transport here (having no roads means the only traffic is the vast numbers of red deer).
Two nights with Much Better Adventures, including one night wild camping, one night in a bunkhouse and return ferry tickets from Mallaig to Kinloch, £180 per person a night.
3. Hike through history in the Peak District
In 1932, a historic mass invasion in the Peak District led to the creation of our national park system. Today, this picturesque plateau in northern England is the perfect setting for a low-impact walking journey, where all travel is by foot. Along the way, you’ll discover the likes of the Derwent and Hope valleys.
Three nights with On Foot Holidays, including transfers and GPS tracks, £215 per person a night.
21. Which agency provides the cheapest per-day price?
A. The Treehouses at Lanrick. B. The Treehouses at Leckie.
C. Much Better Adventures. D. On Foot Holidays.
22. What do the three adventures have in common?
A. They offer free food. B. They all involve activities on foot.
C. They are all in Scotland. D. They can be explored by public transport.
23. Who is probably the target reader of this passage?
A. An eco-minded traveler. B. An animal lover.
C. A risk-hungry athlete. D. A social activist.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国三种低影响的环境友好型冒险活动。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据每点下提到的价格信息“The Treehouses at Lanrick cost £245 a night for one person, with a minimum two-night stay. You need to pay an extra £30 for The Treehouses at Leckie.(Lanrick的树屋一个人每晚245英镑,至少住两晚。对于Leckie树屋住宿,你需要额外支付 30 英镑)”,“Two nights with Much Better Adventures, including one night wild camping, one night in a bunkhouse and return ferry tickets from Mallaig to Kinloch, £180 per person a night.(参加 “非凡探险之旅” 活动两晚,包括一晚野外露营、一晚在简易宿舍住宿,以及从马莱格到金洛克的往返渡轮票,每人每晚 180 英镑)”以及“Three nights with On Foot Holidays, including transfers and GPS tracks, £215 per person a night.(参加“徒步度假”活动三晚,包括接送服务和全球定位系统轨迹导航,每人每晚 215 英镑)”可知,比较四个选项,Much Better Adventures的每晚价格最低,为£180。故选C。

This year, the international potluck event at my school will likely remain among the best dinners I have ever attended. The stunning spectacle of a combined 10 tables packed with different cuisines: plate after plate, pot after pot. Dumplings, chicken tikka masala, little hamburgers, bun cha, chow mein — anything the parents could make and bring over was there ready-and-waiting, an all-you-can-eat feast that came for free.
The event had a combined purpose of benefiting both international students and local families. For one, having the chance to enjoy cuisines from their culture of origin was reassuring for students far from home. On the other hand, these cuisines also offered local students a new understanding of different cultures in the most direct way possible — delicious food. This kind of cultural exchange not only enriches our plates but also breaks down cultural barriers. It is a powerful reminder that through food, we can build bridges between different cultures and create lasting connections.
I tried Indian and Vietnamese food for the first time since tasting something new felt easier in this setting. This led me to discover chicken tikka masala, one of the most classic Indian dishes. Although the ingredients used to make it are similar to Japanese curry for some versions of the recipe, the two still have small differences in their sweetness and texture. I also came across one piece of trivia during the experience: Japanese curry was originally brought over from India by the British and was later adapted to fit local Japanese cuisine. Nevertheless, the flavor of the tikka masala was amazing and made me more inclined to try less-familiar cuisines in the future.
The amount of work needed to put into the potluck to achieve the event’s goals was immense. I talked with one of the parents who were part of the organizing effort, and she gave some details of what they had to keep in mind while preparing for the event: the slight differences of the food, what dishes to include from which cultures, how much food to prepare, how to transport the food from the families’ homes to campus while keeping it fresh, and finally how to take precautions for allergies and dietary needs.
It’s not exactly difficult to think up an event like this, but what is challenging is guaranteeing that the execution will make everyone, both parents and students, feel comfortable during the event. At its core, an international potluck is essentially an event that aims to bring the community — with all its diversity — together.
24. What do we know about the international potluck event?
A. It is held in different countries each year.
B. It offers students homemade local dishes.
C. It provides people with food across cultures.
D It aims to attract food lovers around the world.
25. What does the author mainly emphasize in Para. 2?
A. Potluck’s cultural link. B. Students’ love for food.
C. The origins of cuisines. D. Gaps between cultures.
26. What was the author’s favorite in the event this year?
A. Japanese curry. B. Indian chicken. C. Vietnamese food. D. British cuisine.
27. What’s the organizers’ attitude during the event preparation?
A. Overcautious. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Considerate.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】

【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I tried Indian and Vietnamese food for the first time ... This led me to discover chicken tikka masala, one of the most classic Indian dishes ... the flavor of the tikka masala was amazing and made me more inclined to try less-familiar cuisines in the future.(我第一次尝试了印度和越南菜……。这让我发现了印度最经典的菜肴之一:鸡肉咖喱玛莎拉……。鸡肉咖喱玛莎拉的味道棒,让我更倾向于在未来尝试一些不那么熟悉的菜肴)”可知,作者在活动中发现了印度的鸡肉咖喱玛莎拉,觉得味道很棒,由此可推断出作者今年在活动中最喜欢的是印度鸡肉(鸡肉咖喱玛莎拉中的鸡肉)。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。从第四段“the slight differences of the food, what dishes to include from which cultures, how much food to prepare, how to transport the food from the families’ homes to campus while keeping it fresh, and finally how to take precautions for allergies and dietary needs(食物的细微差别,什么菜肴应该包含哪些文化,准备多少食物,如何在保持新鲜的同时将食物从家庭运输到校园,最后为过敏和饮食需求采取预防措施。)”可知,组织者在准备活动时考虑了食物的细微差别、不同文化的菜肴选择、食物量、食物运输保鲜以及过敏和饮食需求等多方面的问题,考虑得非常周到。故选D。
C
This summer, high school students from all over the US gathered at the Ohio State University for a pre-college summer program. During the two-week stay, students had a chance of experiencing college life by taking college-level classes.
“Through these programs, participants will discover potential career paths, gain college-level academic skills and engage with real-world challenges that can impact our world,” said Ohio State Executive Vice President Melissa Gilliam. Course offerings include fashion and retail foundations; entrepreneurship and ingenuity; engineering, technology and science for solving problems; language and society; and the science of athletic performance.
In the athletic science classes, students did experiments such as measuring how cooling vests affect endurance on treadmills (跑步机). “An interesting part was when we wore a headset and mouthpiece to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide output while walking on a treadmill,” Lauryn Brown from Hawken School in Cleveland told Ohio State News. “It was just so eye-opening, especially learning all the things that come with it.”
Fashion and retail foundations professor Cydni Robertson said students designed their own clothing and jewelry lines and marketed them to Ohio-based fashion brands. “It was our motivation to expose them to as many aspects of the fashion industry as possible, whether that be design or being a fashion historian or owning your own retail store or being a digital merchandiser, even a fashion event planner,” Robertson said. “There are so many career fields within this broad major of fashion that we want to give them a glimpse of everything.”
Brenda Ocana, who will be a senior at McNicholas High School in the fall, said that the language and society program has helped her envision a future career.
“I got to meet people that probably without this program I would have never met,” Ocana said. “It gives me an idea of where I want to go.”
28. What will these pre-college programs offer to students?
A. Academic discussions. B. Career lectures.
C. Engineering courses. D. Fashion shows.
29. Which statement will Lauryn Brown most probably agree with?
A. Treadmill walking is a most challenging sport.
B. Experiments in his program are all interesting.
C. College course offerings need to be improved.
D. Pre-college programs turn out to be rewarding.
30. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Para.4?
A. Program students. B. Students’ designs. C. Fashion brands. D. Jewelry lines.
31. What’s the best title of this text?
A. Academic Life Ahead B. A Taste of College Life
C. Funny Pre-college Time D. Bridges Between Schools
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Course offerings include fashion and retail foundations; entrepreneurship and ingenuity; engineering, technology and science for solving problems; language and society; and the science of athletic performance.(提供的课程包括时尚与零售基础、创业与创新、用于解决问题的工程、技术和科学、语言与社会以及运动表现科学)”可知,这些课程提供了工程课程。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““An interesting part was when we wore a headset and mouthpiece to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide output while walking on a treadmill,” Lauryn Brown from Hawken School in Cleveland told Ohio State News. “It was just so eye-opening, especially learning all the things that come with it.”(“最有趣的部分是当我们戴上耳机和口部装置,在跑步机上行走时测量氧气和二氧化碳的排出量,”克利夫兰霍肯学校的劳伦·布朗在接受俄亥俄州立大学新闻采访时说道,“这真的让人大开眼界,尤其是学到了所有与之相关的东西。”)”可知,劳伦·布朗参与活动后觉得很开眼界,学到了很多东西,这表明大学预科项目很有收获。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Fashion and retail foundations professor Cydni Robertson said students designed their own clothing and jewelry lines and marketed them to Ohio-based fashion brands. “It was our motivation to expose them to as many aspects of the fashion industry as possible, whether that be design or being a fashion historian or owning your own retail store or being a digital merchandiser, even a fashion event planner,” Robertson said.(时尚与零售基础专业的教授赛迪尼·罗伯逊说,学生们设计了自己的服装和珠宝系列,并将它们推销给俄亥俄州的时尚品牌。“我们的动机是让他们尽可能多地接触时尚行业的各个方面,无论是设计、成为时尚历史学家、拥有自己的零售店、成为数字商品推销员,甚至是时尚活动策划人,”罗伯逊说)”可知,时尚与零售基础课程的教授说学生们设计了自己的服装和珠宝系列,并把这些成果推销给俄亥俄州的时尚品牌,所以“them”指代的是参加项目的学生们,目的是让学生尽可能多地接触时尚行业的各个方面。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇提到来自美国各地的高中生参加大学预科暑期项目,在两周的停留期间通过上大学水平的课程体验大学生活,接着介绍了课程内容以及学生们的感受,所以文章主要围绕体验大学生活展开。选项B“A Taste of College Life(体验大学生活)”最能概括文章主旨,是文章的最佳标题。故选B。
D
Uncertainty and fear can lead to feelings of being stuck. But there’s a solution: flow. It is a state of being immersed in a task or activity, which helps people thrive. People in flow are completely absorbed by what they’re doing, to the point in which they lose track of time or even basic needs.
So, what happens in the brain during flow? As it turns out, quite a lot — but the picture is far from straightforward.
Charles Limb, a surgeon and brain expert at the University of California, studied jazz musicians playing the piano and found that areas of the brain associated with self-monitoring shut down when they were improvising (即兴创作). Meanwhile, the parts of the brain responsible for sensory processing and movement processing increased during creative tasks. Similar patterns were observed in freestyle rappers, comedians, and cartoonists.
Put simply, brain scans showed that when individuals were deeply involved in a flow activity, their self-consciousness disappeared but their awareness of the activity was heightened.
Limb suspects that there are levels to flow states depending on the activity involved and the competence of the person. His team compared the brain activity of musicians with that of kids aged 9 to 11 who show interest in piano but are musically untrained during improvisation. They also compared the kids’ brain patterns while playing a memorized sequence versus a tune they were making up. The experimental setup was designed so that whatever note was struck, it never sounded wrong.
“The kids’ brain activity was less intense,” Limb says. What is clear is that there’s a big difference in the brain when the kids go from memorizing to improvising, or from routine exercises to engaging activities. But the science continues to be refined.
From a neurochemical perspective, dopamine (多巴胺) — which helps with learning, memory, and emotions — plays a key role. “Flow really uses the brain’s dopamine paths,” says Joydeep Bhattacharya, a psychology professor. He suggests that the dopamine paths of people who frequently achieve flow are slowly reshaped and molded over time.
32. Which function of the brain became more active during creative tasks?
A. Self-monitoring. B. Sense and movement control.
C. Storing information. D. Processing emotional response.
33. What factor most likely explains brain activity differences between kids and musicians?
A. Interest. B. Memory. C. Skill level. D. Age gap.
34. What is the focus of the study conducted by Charles Limb’s team?
A. Jazz musicians’ improvisation. B. Brain patterns in routine exercises.
C. Flow states and brain activity. D. Memorizing versus engaging tasks.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Dopamine increase directly results from flow.
B. Dopamine plays an insignificant role in memory.
C. Flow states rarely draw on the dopamine paths.
D. Flow experiences can influence dopamine paths.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心流这一概念及其对人类大脑活动的影响。研究表明心流时大脑有变化,且心流有层次,还与多巴胺有关 。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Charles Limb, a surgeon and brain expert at the University of California, studied jazz musicians playing the piano and found that areas of the brain associated with self-monitoring shut down when they were improvising (即兴创作). Meanwhile, the parts of the brain responsible for sensory processing and movement processing increased during creative tasks. (加州大学的外科医生和大脑专家Charles Limb研究了演奏钢琴的爵士音乐家,发现当他们即兴创作时,大脑中与自我监控相关的区域会关闭。与此同时,大脑中负责感觉处理和运动处理的部分在创造性任务中增加了)”可知,在创造性任务中,大脑中与自我监控相关的区域会关闭,而负责感官处理和运动处理的大脑部分会变得更加活跃,也就是感觉和运动控制功能更活跃。故选B。

推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“Limb suspects that there are levels to flow states depending on the activity involved and the competence of the person. His team compared the brain activity of musicians with that of kids aged 9 to 11 who show interest in piano but are musically untrained during improvisation. (Limb怀疑,根据所涉及的活动和人的能力,有不同的流动状态。他的团队将音乐家的大脑活动与9至11岁的儿童进行了比较,这些儿童对钢琴表现出兴趣,但在即兴创作中没有受过音乐训练)”可知,研究团队比较了受过专业训练的音乐家和对钢琴有兴趣但未经音乐训练的孩子的大脑活动,由此可推断出,最有可能解释孩子和音乐家之间大脑活动差异的因素是技能水平,音乐家经过训练有更高的技能水平,而孩子未经训练技能水平较低。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Charles Limb, a surgeon and brain expert at the University of California, studied jazz musicians playing the piano and found that areas of the brain associated with self-monitoring shut down when they were improvising (即兴创作). Meanwhile, the parts of the brain responsible for sensory processing and movement processing increased during creative tasks. (加州大学的外科医生和大脑专家Charles Limb研究了演奏钢琴的爵士音乐家,发现当他们即兴创作时,大脑中与自我监控相关的区域会关闭。与此同时,大脑中负责感觉处理和运动处理的部分在创造性任务中增加了)”和第五段中“Limb suspects that there are levels to flow states depending on the activity involved and the competence of the person. His team compared the brain activity of musicians with that of kids aged 9 to 11 who show interest in piano but are musically untrained during improvisation. (Limb怀疑,根据所涉及的活动和人的能力,有不同的流动状态。他的团队将音乐家的大脑活动与9至11岁的儿童进行了比较,这些儿童对钢琴表现出兴趣,但在即兴创作中没有受过音乐训练)”以及第六段““The kids’ brain activity was less intense,” Limb says. What is clear is that there’s a big difference in the brain when the kids go from memorizing to improvising, or from routine exercises to engaging activities. But the science continues to be refined. (Limb说:“孩子们的大脑活动不那么激烈。”。很明显,当孩子们从记忆到即兴创作,或者从日常锻炼到参与活动时,大脑中的差异很大。但科学仍在不断完善)”可知,Charles Limb的研究,包括研究爵士音乐家即兴创作时大脑的活动、比较音乐家和未经训练孩子的大脑活动以及研究了孩子在不同音乐任务中的大脑模式,这些研究都是为了探讨心流状态和大脑活动之间的关系。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““Flow really uses the brain’s dopamine paths,” says Joydeep Bhattacharya, a psychology professor. He suggests that the dopamine paths of people who frequently achieve flow are slowly reshaped and molded over time. (心理学教授Joydeep Bhattacharya说:“心流确实利用了大脑的多巴胺通路。”。他认为,经常达到心流的人的多巴胺通路会随着时间的推移慢慢重塑和塑造)”可知,心流体验可以影响多巴胺路径。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Write Well
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them? ____36____ If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter for whom speed outranks care: get it done decently now rather than perfectly later. A new book lays out the data in favour of sharp, simple writing.
The book “Writing For Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. ____37____ What to read, what to skim and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. The authors present well-established principles: cut unnecessary words, choose those everyone knows and keep syntax (句法) simple.
____38____
Most books on writing well publicize the advice to delete needless words. A pandemic-era message to parents first included a few sentences acknowledging the difficulties of home-schooling, then asked them to take a survey. A shorter message inviting them to take the survey got more responses. Writers must sometimes choose for being rude but effective instead of sympathetic but ignored.
Word-count is not the only thing to cut.
Keeping messages to a single idea — or as few as absolutely needed — helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. A link in an email attracted 50% more clicks when it was solo than when it was sent alongside a second “bonus” link. ____39____
Syntax and word-choice matter, too.____40____ Mixing up different forms of emphasis like highlighting and italics adds up to an unpleasant whole. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes, shares and so on.
A. Take “less is more”.
B. Use as few sentences as possible.
C. Short and active sentences, with common words are best.
D. Those using long sentences were seen as less moral and trustworthy.
E. Therefore, reducing the number of possible actions has the same effect.
F. If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in crafting even the simplest message.
G. People are bombarded constantly with messages, from the mailbox to the text-message alert.
【答案】36. F 37. G 38. A 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。本文通过介绍一本数的内容,结合大量研究数据,表明写作应该做到简洁和简明扼要。
【36题详解】
根据上文 “Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them? (你在发短信之前会编辑短信吗?)”可知这是在提问,推测下文指出如果这样做的结果,所以F选项“如果是这样,你可能是那种即使是最简单的信息也会引以为豪的人。”符合题意,并且和下文“If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter for whom speed outranks care: get it done decently now rather than perfectly later. (如果你不这样做,你就自视为一个志在必得的人,对你来说速度比谨慎重要:现在就把事情做好,而不是以后再完美地完成)”形成对比。故选F。
【37题详解】
上文“The book “Writing For Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. (《为忙碌的读者写作》这本书的标题很巧妙:现在所有的读者都很忙)”提到现在的读者都很忙,G选项“人们不断受到信息的轰炸,从邮箱到短信提醒)”进一步说现在人们繁忙的原因,符合题意。故选G。
【38题详解】
设空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Most books on writing well publicize the advice to delete needless words. A pandemic-era message to parents first included a few sentences acknowledging the difficulties of home-schooling, then asked them to take a survey. A shorter message inviting them to take the survey got more responses. Writers must sometimes choose for being rude but effective instead of sympathetic but ignored. (大多数关于写作的书都建议删去不必要的词。大流行时期给父母的信息首先包括几句承认家庭教育困难的话,然后要求他们做一项调查。一条邀请他们参加调查的短信得到了更多的回应。作家有时必须选择粗鲁但有效,而不是同情但被忽视)”可知本段主要介绍写作时要删掉不必要的词。所以A选项“以“少即是多”为例”符合本段主旨,故选 A。
【39题详解】
根据主题句“Word-count is not the only thing to cut. (字数并不是唯一需要削减的东西)”,和上文“A link in an email attracted 50% more clicks when it was solo than when it was sent alongside a second “bonus” link. (电子邮件中的链接在单独发送时比与第二个“额外奖励”链接一起发送时吸引的点击量多50%)”说明单一的链接比多个链接效果更好,也就是要减少的不只是字数,还要保持信息的单一性。所以E 选项 “因此,减少可能行动的数量也有同样的效果。”符合题意,并且选项中的“reducing the number of possible actions”与上文的单一链接相呼应。故选E。
【40题详解】
上文“Syntax and word-choice matter, too. (句法和用词也很重要)”提到句法和单词选择也很重要。C选项“简短主动的句子和常用词是最好的”进一步说明了什么样的句法和单词选择是好的,故选C。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在摄影师张晓拍摄的社火节照片中,乡村生活充满了更奇妙的东西,社火节是中国北方部分地区在农历新年期间仍会举行的古老庆祝活动。ancient celebration表示泛指,且ancient是发音以元音音素开头的单词,故填an。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:民间的“社火”(通常翻译为“土与火”)传统上是为了祈求好运和丰收,或者驱除魔鬼,这源于几千年来对火和土地的崇拜。修饰名词practices用形容词agricultural。故填agricultural。

【64题详解】
考查代词。句意:到目前为止,社火庆祝活动已两次被中国政府列入联合国教科文组织风格的“非物质文化遗产”名录。此处需要一个形容词性物主代词its,修饰UNESCO-style list,指中国的国家级非物质文化遗产名录,因此使用its。

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。
Mr. Jones was the coach of my basketball team. He was tough. He had high expectations and conducted physically and mentally demanding practices. I thought I suited the school team but he only allowed me in the last minute or two, if we were winning by enough. Essentially, I only had the opportunity to play in practice. However, I battled, hoping the next year could be my year.
The beginning of the next year remained a huge disappointment. I sat on the bench, going in the last minute or so when my team was up big. To make things worse, the basketball season was a struggle. Winter sports were the most challenging. The weather was cold; it got dark at 4:30; it was long, and there were 4 games a week... It was exhausting. The weak would not survive, and at that time, I was weak. My body ached from the practices, and I felt out of place on the court. I begged my parents to let me quit the team.
They didn’t say no, but they gave me a condition. I could quit if I approached my coach and asked him about my role and what I could do to improve.
Approach Mr. Jones? To me, this was an absolute nightmare. I didn’t sleep that night. The entire school day, I didn’t hear a single word my teachers said because I was so focused on how and when I would approach him. I decided in math class to do it after practice that night.
Practice flew by. When you fear something, it always seems time races to the moment. I took my practice shoes off, put on my sweats, and walked across the gym to what felt like the end of my world.
He was sitting in his office, already creating a strategy report for the next game. I asked if I could talk to him, and as soon as I sat down, I started sobbing. My disappointment and self-doubt all exploded into a disastrous ball of emotion. So here I was, howling in front of the man I feared most in this cold dark world.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my astonishment, Mr. Jones gave me a huge hug.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Despite a lack of playing time, I finished the season and worked hard that summer.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To my astonishment, Mr. Jones gave me a huge hug. He let me talk, at least through my sobs, and then he let me listen. He was honest. He told me that I wasn’t ready, that I was too weak to be on the floor when it mattered the most, and that I didn’t work hard enough in the off season. His words felt like a punch to my gut, but strangely, part of me understood what he meant. I had been coasting, not pushing myself the way I should have. Then, as if balancing his tough words, he told me I had potential and urged me to stick with it, which stirred up a mix of frustration and hope. That was the push I needed.
Despite a lack of playing time, I finished the season and worked hard that summer. I doubled down on my training — improving my stamina, sharpening my shooting, and strengthening my mental focus. I pushed myself to the limit every day, refusing to let hardship hold me back. When the new season arrived, I was ready. Mr. Jones, seeing the progress I’d made, gave me a chance in the first game. I jumped at it, playing with confidence and skill. By the end of the season, I had landed a regular spot on the team. Thanks to my coach, I learned that success isn’t handed to me — it’s earned.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了主人公在篮球教练Mr. Jones的严格要求下,经历挫折、自我怀疑,最终通过努力和坚持,逐渐成长的故事。

3 Low-Impact Adventures to Try Across the UK
There are loads of ways to take in the UK’s landscape without putting a strain on the environment.
1. Stay in an eco-friendly treehouse in Stirlingshire
Located on different parts of protected woodland, the Lanrick and Leckie Treehouses come with a far smaller footprint than your average holiday accommodation. They are just four miles from the Trossachs National Park, located in central Scotland. This provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and bird watching.
The Treehouses at Lanrick cost £245 a night for one person, with a minimum two-night stay. You need to pay an extra £30 for The Treehouses at Leckie.
2. Go wild camping on the Isle of Rum
You can take a ferry trip from Mallaig to Rum, and into one of Scotland’s most rugged wildernesses. It combines hiking, wildlife spotting and camping. There’s no option to explore by car or public transport here (having no roads means the only traffic is the vast numbers of red deer).
Two nights with Much Better Adventures, including one night wild camping, one night in a bunkhouse and return ferry tickets from Mallaig to Kinloch, £180 per person a night.
3. Hike through history in the Peak District
In 1932, a historic mass invasion in the Peak District led to the creation of our national park system. Today, this picturesque plateau in northern England is the perfect setting for a low-impact walking journey, where all travel is by foot. Along the way, you’ll discover the likes of the Derwent and Hope valleys.
Three nights with On Foot Holidays, including transfers and GPS tracks, £215 per person a night.
21. Which agency provides the cheapest per-day price?
A. The Treehouses at Lanrick. B. The Treehouses at Leckie.
C. Much Better Adventures. D. On Foot Holidays.
22. What do the three adventures have in common?
A. They offer free food. B. They all involve activities on foot.
C. They are all in Scotland. D. They can be explored by public transport.
23. Who is probably the target reader of this passage?
A. An eco-minded traveler. B. An animal lover.
C. A risk-hungry athlete. D. A social activist.

This year, the international potluck event at my school will likely remain among the best dinners I have ever attended. The stunning spectacle of a combined 10 tables packed with different cuisines: plate after plate, pot after pot. Dumplings, chicken tikka masala, little hamburgers, bun cha, chow mein — anything the parents could make and bring over was there ready-and-waiting, an all-you-can-eat feast that came for free.
The event had a combined purpose of benefiting both international students and local families. For one, having the chance to enjoy cuisines from their culture of origin was reassuring for students far from home. On the other hand, these cuisines also offered local students a new understanding of different cultures in the most direct way possible — delicious food. This kind of cultural exchange not only enriches our plates but also breaks down cultural barriers. It is a powerful reminder that through food, we can build bridges between different cultures and create lasting connections.
I tried Indian and Vietnamese food for the first time since tasting something new felt easier in this setting. This led me to discover chicken tikka masala, one of the most classic Indian dishes. Although the ingredients used to make it are similar to Japanese curry for some versions of the recipe, the two still have small differences in their sweetness and texture. I also came across one piece of trivia during the experience: Japanese curry was originally brought over from India by the British and was later adapted to fit local Japanese cuisine. Nevertheless, the flavor of the tikka masala was amazing and made me more inclined to try less-familiar cuisines in the future.
The amount of work needed to put into the potluck to achieve the event’s goals was immense. I talked with one of the parents who were part of the organizing effort, and she gave some details of what they had to keep in mind while preparing for the event: the slight differences of the food, what dishes to include from which cultures, how much food to prepare, how to transport the food from the families’ homes to campus while keeping it fresh, and finally how to take precautions for allergies and dietary needs.
It’s not exactly difficult to think up an event like this, but what is challenging is guaranteeing that the execution will make everyone, both parents and students, feel comfortable during the event. At its core, an international potluck is essentially an event that aims to bring the community — with all its diversity — together.
24. What do we know about the international potluck event?
A. It is held in different countries each year.
B. It offers students homemade local dishes.
C. It provides people with food across cultures.
D. It aims to attract food lovers around the world.
25. What does the author mainly emphasize in Para. 2?
A. Potluck’s cultural link. B. Students’ love for food.
C. The origins of cuisines. D. Gaps between cultures.
26. What was the author’s favorite in the event this year?
A. Japanese curry. B. Indian chicken. C. Vietnamese food. D. British cuisine.
27. What’s the organizers’ attitude during the event preparation?
A. Overcautious. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Considerate.
C
This summer, high school students from all over the US gathered at the Ohio State University for a pre-college summer program. During the two-week stay, students had a chance of experiencing college life by taking college-level classes.
“Through these programs, participants will discover potential career paths, gain college-level academic skills and engage with real-world challenges that can impact our world,” said Ohio State Executive Vice President Melissa Gilliam. Course offerings include fashion and retail foundations; entrepreneurship and ingenuity; engineering, technology and science for solving problems; language and society; and the science of athletic performance.
In the athletic science classes, students did experiments such as measuring how cooling vests affect endurance on treadmills (跑步机). “An interesting part was when we wore a headset and mouthpiece to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide output while walking on a treadmill,” Lauryn Brown from Hawken School in Cleveland told Ohio State News. “It was just so eye-opening, especially learning all the things that come with it.”
Fashion and retail foundations professor Cydni Robertson said students designed their own clothing and jewelry lines and marketed them to Ohio-based fashion brands. “It was our motivation to expose them to as many aspects of the fashion industry as possible, whether that be design or being a fashion historian or owning your own retail store or being a digital merchandiser, even a fashion event planner,” Robertson said. “There are so many career fields within this broad major of fashion that we want to give them a glimpse of everything.”
Brenda Ocana, who will be a senior at McNicholas High School in the fall, said that the language and society program has helped her envision a future career.
“I got to meet people that probably without this program I would have never met,” Ocana said. “It gives me an idea of where I want to go.”
28. What will these pre-college programs offer to students?
A. Academic discussions. B. Career lectures.
C. Engineering courses. D. Fashion shows.
29. Which statement will Lauryn Brown most probably agree with?
A. Treadmill walking is a most challenging sport.
B. Experiments in his program are all interesting.
C College course offerings need to be improved.
D. Pre-college programs turn out to be rewarding.
30. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Para.4?
A. Program students. B. Students’ designs. C. Fashion brands. D. Jewelry lines.
31. What’s the best title of this text?
A. Academic Life Ahead B. A Taste of College Life
C. Funny Pre-college Time D. Bridges Between Schools
D
Uncertainty and fear can lead to feelings of being stuck. But there’s a solution: flow. It is a state of being immersed in a task or activity, which helps people thrive. People in flow are completely absorbed by what they’re doing, to the point in which they lose track of time or even basic needs.
So, what happens in the brain during flow? As it turns out, quite a lot — but the picture is far from straightforward.
Charles Limb, a surgeon and brain expert at the University of California, studied jazz musicians playing the piano and found that areas of the brain associated with self-monitoring shut down when they were improvising (即兴创作). Meanwhile, the parts of the brain responsible for sensory processing and movement processing increased during creative tasks. Similar patterns were observed in freestyle rappers, comedians, and cartoonists.
Put simply, brain scans showed that when individuals were deeply involved in a flow activity, their self-consciousness disappeared but their awareness of the activity was heightened.
Limb suspects that there are levels to flow states depending on the activity involved and the competence of the person. His team compared the brain activity of musicians with that of kids aged 9 to 11 who show interest in piano but are musically untrained during improvisation. They also compared the kids’ brain patterns while playing a memorized sequence versus a tune they were making up. The experimental setup was designed so that whatever note was struck, it never sounded wrong.
“The kids’ brain activity was less intense,” Limb says. What is clear is that there’s a big difference in the brain when the kids go from memorizing to improvising, or from routine exercises to engaging activities. But the science continues to be refined.
From a neurochemical perspective, dopamine (多巴胺) — which helps with learning, memory, and emotions — plays a key role. “Flow really uses the brain’s dopamine paths,” says Joydeep Bhattacharya, a psychology professor. He suggests that the dopamine paths of people who frequently achieve flow are slowly reshaped and molded over time.
32. Which function of the brain became more active during creative tasks?
A. Self-monitoring. B. Sense and movement control.
C. Storing information. D. Processing emotional response.
33 What factor most likely explains brain activity differences between kids and musicians?
A. Interest. B. Memory. C. Skill level. D. Age gap.
34. What is the focus of the study conducted by Charles Limb’s team?
A. Jazz musicians’ improvisation. B. Brain patterns in routine exercises.
C. Flow states and brain activity. D. Memorizing versus engaging tasks.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Dopamine increase directly results from flow.
B. Dopamine plays an insignificant role in memory.
C. Flow states rarely draw on the dopamine paths.
D. Flow experiences can influence dopamine paths.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Write Well
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them? ____36____ If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter for whom speed outranks care: get it done decently now rather than perfectly later. A new book lays out the data in favour of sharp, simple writing.
The book “Writing For Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. ____37____ What to read, what to skim and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. The authors present well-established principles: cut unnecessary words, choose those everyone knows and keep syntax (句法) simple.
____38____
Most books on writing well publicize the advice to delete needless words. A pandemic-era message to parents first included a few sentences acknowledging the difficulties of home-schooling, then asked them to take a survey. A shorter message inviting them to take the survey got more responses. Writers must sometimes choose for being rude but effective instead of sympathetic but ignored.
Word-count is not the only thing to cut.
Keeping messages to a single idea — or as few as absolutely needed — helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. A link in an email attracted 50% more clicks when it was solo than when it was sent alongside a second “bonus” link. ____39____
Syntax and word-choice matter, too.____40____ Mixing up different forms of emphasis like highlighting and italics adds up to an unpleasant whole. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes, shares and so on.
A. Take “less is more”.
B. Use as few sentences as possible.
C. Short and active sentences, with common words are best.
D. Those using long sentences were seen as less moral and trustworthy.
E. Therefore, reducing the number of possible actions has the same effect.
F. If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in crafting even the simplest message.
G. People are bombarded constantly with messages, from the mailbox to the text-message alert.

On that stormy November evening, I cursed myself for forgetting my umbrella. Leaning against the bus shelter with my wet backpack, I noticed a woman in a blue coat ____41____ toward me. Her umbrella hovered above my head before I could react.
“Teenagers shouldn’t catch pneumonia (肺炎),”she said lightly, though her ____42____ eyes betrayed exhaustion. As we chatted, I learned she was Dr. Chen from City Hospital, ____43____ from a night shift. Her phone rang during our talk—a patient’s critical condition required her immediate ____44____. Luckily, my bus came then.
Watching her ____45____ back toward the hospital, I felt an unfamiliar warmth. The next morning, I bought two hot coffees, intending to deliver one to her. However, the receptionist informed me Dr. Chen had collapsed from ____46____ and was now in Ward 503.
My heart sank. Outside her room, I overheard her arguing with a colleague: “How could I rest when the construction workers’ medical fund needs more ____47____?” Suddenly, she noticed me. “Ah, my umbrella boy! Come in,” she ____48____, though her face was alarmingly pale.
The encounter sparked my ____49____ action. The next day, I started volunteering at the hospital’s information desk. During lunch breaks, in her ward, Dr. Chen explained how she’d ____50____ free clinics for migrant workers. The following morning, I took an ____51____ call. “This is from the bridge construction team,” a deep voice said. “Dr. Chen treated our injured men without charge. We’ve pooled $12,340 for her ____52____.” Tears filled my eyes as I recorded their details.
Dr. Chen was transferred to another city last month. At our farewell, she handed me a worn notebook: “Your turn to ____53____ the umbrella.” Now when I see lost freshmen or tired cleaners, I no longer hesitate. The notebook’s first page reads: “Kindness isn’t a single act, but a ____54____ — the hands you lift today may hold you up tomorrow when you least ___55___ .”

Mr. Jones was the coach of my basketball team. He was tough. He had high expectations and conducted physically and mentally demanding practices. I thought I suited the school team but he only allowed me in the last minute or two, if we were winning by enough. Essentially, I only had the opportunity to play in practice. However, I battled, hoping the next year could be my year.
The beginning of the next year remained a huge disappointment. I sat on the bench, going in the last minute or so when my team was up big. To make things worse, the basketball season was a struggle. Winter sports were the most challenging. The weather was cold; it got dark at 4:30; it was long, and there were 4 games a week... It was exhausting. The weak would not survive, and at that time, I was weak. My body ached from the practices, and I felt out of place on the court. I begged my parents to let me quit the team.
They didn’t say no, but they gave me a condition. I could quit if I approached my coach and asked him about my role and what I could do to improve.
Approach Mr. Jones? To me, this was an absolute nightmare. I didn’t sleep that night. The entire school day, I didn’t hear a single word my teachers said because I was so focused on how and when I would approach him. I decided in math class to do it after practice that night.
Practice flew by. When you fear something, it always seems time races to the moment. I took my practice shoes off, put on my sweats, and walked across the gym to what felt like the end of my world.
He was sitting in his office, already creating a strategy report for the next game. I asked if I could talk to him, and as soon as I sat down, I started sobbing. My disappointment and self-doubt all exploded into a disastrous ball of emotion. So here I was, howling in front of the man I feared most in this cold dark world.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my astonishment, Mr. Jones gave me a huge hug.
