Europe is launching hundreds of bold rewilding initiatives in the following places, which leads to a lot of benefits for wildlife and people. Apennine Hunting, poisoning, and traffic accidents endanger some 60 Marsican bears in the central Apennine. Removing outdated fencing helps them move freely and the number of tourists is strictly controlled. Kraansvlak Bison (野牛) introduced to work as landscape engineers feed on trees invading easily destroyed sand hills. The result: a sustainable ecosystem and habitat. Koitajoki Work to restore 2,500 acres of peatlands (泥炭地) has been beneficial to birds, flood reduction, and ecosystems under the water, aiding fish such as Finland’s last natural salmon. Carpathian Mountains The government’s calling on sustainable tourism leads to decreasing tourist numbers. The region is seeing the return of wildlife to abandoned farmland. CONSERVATION VS REWILDING These two restoration models are guided by different approaches and long - term goals. 1. What is the intention of launching the Nature Restoration Law? A. To protect the world’s land. B. To conduct wildlife research. C. To preserve the EU’s declining area. D. To promote biological initiatives. 2. What is the common approach used in Apennine and Carpathian Mountains? A. Forbidding hunting. B. Limiting tourist numbers. C. Dismissing outdated measures. D. Restoring abandoned lands. 3. Which area is more suitable for applying rewilding? A. Rich farmland. B. Pre-industrial sites. C. Isolated habitats. D. Wide-ranging landscape. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了欧洲四个地方的自然保护措施，并介绍了其新方法与传统保护措施的不同之处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“The 2024 Nature Restoration Law aims to renew and protect 20 percent of the European Union’s (EU’s) decreased land by 2030. (2024年自然恢复法案旨在到2030年恢复和保护欧盟20%的退化土地)”可知，该法案是为了保护欧洲不断缩减的土地面积。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Apennine部分中的“Removing outdated fencing helps them move freely and the number of tourists is strictly controlled. (移除过时的围栏有助于它们自由活动，同时严格控制游客数量)”和Carpathian Mountains部分中的“The government’s calling on sustainable tourism leads to decreasing tourist numbers. (政府倡导可持续旅游导致游客数量减少)”可知，两地都是通过减少游客来保护自然环境。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格Application zone 部分中Rewilding 对应的内容“Large-scale landscape, marginal farmland, or post-industrial sites (大规模景观、边际农田或后工业场地)”可知，大规模景观更适合进行野化。故选D项。 B Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of. My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 5. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 6. Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A. Healthy and cautious. B. Caring and responsible. C. Cooperative and modest. D. Educated and committed. 7. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A. Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B. Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth. C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景，以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法，强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? (人生的游戏很艰难，我们很多人都在带着伤痛前行。我为这个世界感到心痛，但自然而然地，我更多的是在关注自己的内心世界，在那里，平衡与力量正开始消逝。当我们步入老年，就像老旧的电梯缓缓下降，我们能做些什么呢？)”可知，作者觉得生活艰难，随着年龄增长面临诸多困扰，也就是在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。所以她觉得自己当下的生活是她感觉在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. (马大笑起来，“这太有趣了。你有多重呢？”麻雀回答说：“一个人能做什么就做什么。”这就是衰老的意义；我们做自己力所能及的事。)”可知，文中提到麻雀的故事，麻雀虽小却努力想要阻挡黑暗，回应马的质疑时所说的话，意在传达不管行动看起来多么微不足道，每一个小行动都是有意义、有价值的，都很重要。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” (她今年84岁，个子不高但很结实。每隔一会儿，她就会有些犹豫地弯下腰，把小东西捡起放进一个小布袋里。“你在做什么？”“我在捡拾微小垃圾。我尽量在力所能及的地方帮忙。”)”可知，84 岁的Neshama会去捡微小的垃圾，尽力在自己能做到的地方提供帮助，这体现了她关心环境、有责任感、乐于奉献的品质，所以可以用有爱心且负责任来形容她。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. (到了某个年龄，我们就知道我们生活中的伟大之处——如果你做到了或做到了这一点或那一点，你就会幸福而富有。不，爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知，作者认为在老年阶段，爱和服务才会让我们的人生真正富有，也就是生命的意义在于此。故选A项。 C Among the members of my social network, a handful bring out mixed emotions — both eagerness and fear. Interactions with them feel like a conversational game of Russian roulette (轮盘赌). In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but if I catch them at the wrong moment, they can wipe out all my positive energy. There is simply no knowing what is to come. If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies. Julianne Holt-Lunstad and her colleagues at Brigham Young University have designed a scale that identifies four categories of relationships. You can try it for yourself. Pick a couple of people within your social network and answer the following two questions on a scale of one (not at all) to six (very much). When you are feeling in need of advice, understanding or a favor, how helpful is your connection? Likewise, how upsetting is your connection? People who score one on both questions are your indifferent relationships — a neighbor, perhaps, with neither good nor bad qualities. Those who score highly on the first question, while getting the lowest possible rating on the second, are your supportive and loyal social ties. Those with the lowest score on the first question and high marks on the second are aversive relationships. Finally, anyone with a score of two or more on both scales is considered an ambivalent connection — your frenemies. They may be incredibly generous when you have a problem yet can also strike back with a bitter put-down when they feel envious or threatened. Research suggests that ambivalent, love-hate relationships are often more stressful than consistently negative ones, damaging mental and physical health. Cutting off contact may not always be possible, especially if the person is a boss or family member. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. Personally, I use this insight to prepare myself emotionally, focus on the positives, and limit interactions when needed. It also leads me to reflect on my own actions — am I ever the frenemy? I am resolved to be a little more mindful of my interactions with all my ties. 8. Why does the author compare interactions with certain people to Russian roulette? A. To suggest ways to handle these interactions. B. To show how these people compete for attention. C. To introduce a social game these people like to play. D. To stress how unpredictable these interactions can be. 9. Which figure best illustrates the different types of relationships in our social network? A. B. C. D. 10. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Avoid interacting with frenemies. B. Caution against acting like a frenemy. C. Encourage frenemies to act more positively. D. Balance frenemies with supportive friendships. 11. What is the central message the author intends to convey through this text? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Only true friends are worth keeping. C. A healthy friendship needs give-and-take. D. Love-hate relationships are surprisingly bad. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章大讲述了作者对社交网络中一些关系复杂的个体感到既期待又害怕，就像玩俄罗斯轮盘赌一样。然后介绍了一项由Brigham Young University的研究，该研究设计了一个量表来识别四种不同类型的人际关系：冷漠关系、支持忠诚关系、厌恶关系和矛盾关系（即frenemies）。最后，作者分享了自己如何处理这些矛盾关系的经验，包括意识到关系的复杂性，做好情感准备，专注于积极面，并在需要时限制互动。同时，作者也反思自己是否曾经是别人的frenemies，并决心更加注意自己的社交行为。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段“Interactions with them feel like a conversational game of Russian roulette (轮盘赌). In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but if I catch them at the wrong moment, they can wipe out all my positive energy. There is simply no knowing what is to come(与他们的互动感觉就像一场对话式的俄罗斯轮盘赌。在心情好的时候，这些人能带来一个充满乐趣的夜晚，但如果在不合适的时候遇到他们，他们会耗尽我所有的正能量。根本不知道接下来会发生什么)”可知与他们的互动感觉就像一场对话式的俄罗斯轮盘赌，可推理出这里将与某些人的互动比作俄罗斯轮盘赌，重点在于强调这种互动的不可预测性，就像轮盘赌的结果难以预知一样，可能好也可能坏。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“People who score one on both questions are your indifferent relationships(在两个问题上都得1分的人是你的冷漠关系)”、“Those who score highly on the first question, while getting the lowest possible rating on the second, are your supportive and loyal social ties(在第一个问题上得分高，而在第二个问题上得分尽可能低的人，是支持和忠诚的社会关系)”、“Those with the lowest score on the first question and high marks on the second are aversive relationships(在第一个问题上得分最低，在第二个问题上得分高的人是厌恶关系)”以及“Finally, anyone with a score of two or more on both scales is considered an ambivalent connection — your frenemies(最后，在两个量表上得分都在 2 分或以上的人被认为是矛盾关系 —— 你的亦敌亦友关系)”可知本文区分了四种我们社交网络中不同类型的关系，分析各个选项图表，B选项中清晰地呈现了四种不同的分类情况，横坐标代表第一个问题的得分情况，纵坐标代表第二个问题的得分情况，对应不同区域划分出了符合文中描述的四种人际关系类型，所以B选项正确地说明了我们社交网络中不同类型的人际关系，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I am resolved to be a little more mindful of my interactions with all my ties(我决心更加留意我与所有关系的互动)”以及“It also leads me to reflect on my own actions — am I ever the frenemy?(这也让我反思自己的行为 —— 我是否曾经也是别人眼中的亦敌亦友呢？)”可知，作者决心更加留意与所有关系的互动，反思是否曾经也是别人眼中的亦敌亦友，由此可推理出作者建议读者要警惕自己不要成为别人眼中那种亦敌亦友的人，也就是要谨慎行事，避免表现得像个“亦敌亦友”的人，故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Among the members of my social network, a handful bring out mixed emotions — both eagerness and fear. Interactions with them feel like a conversational game of Russian roulette (轮盘赌). In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but if I catch them at the wrong moment, they can wipe out all my positive energy. There is simply no knowing what is to come. If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies(在社交圈中，有些人让我又期待又害怕。与他们相处就像玩俄罗斯轮盘赌，心情好时能享受欢乐时光，但若时机不对，他们的言行可能会让我感到沮丧。如果你也有这样的经历，那你可能也遇到过“假面朋友”)”、倒数第二段“Research suggests that ambivalent, love-hate relationships are often more stressful than consistently negative ones, damaging mental and physical health. Cutting off contact may not always be possible, especially if the person is a boss or family member. So, what can be done?( 研究表明，这种爱恨交织的矛盾关系往往比持续的负面关系更让人感到压力，对身心健康造成损害。如果这个人是你的上司或家庭成员，切断联系可能并不总是可行的。那么，我们该怎么办呢？)”以及最后一段“Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. Personally, I use this insight to prepare myself emotionally, focus on the positives, and limit interactions when needed. It also leads me to reflect on my own actions — am I ever the frenemy? I am resolved to be a little more mindful of my interactions with all my ties(仅仅意识到关系的矛盾性就可能提供一些保护。就我个人而言，我利用这一见解来在情感上做好准备，专注于积极面，并在需要时限制互动。这也促使我反思自己的行为——我是否也曾是别人的“假面朋友”？我决心在所有社交活动中都更加谨慎)”可知，文章开篇引出了“亦敌亦友”这种矛盾关系，接着介绍了不同类型的人际关系分类，重点讲述了“亦敌亦友”这种爱恨交织的关系，最后还阐述了面对这种关系的一些做法和思考，整体都是围绕着“亦敌亦友”这种爱恨交织的关系展开，强调其带来的不良影响，所以文章想要传达的中心信息是爱恨交织的关系是非常糟糕的，答案选D项。 D “Can you finish the work by the end of the day?” This question might cause anxiety for many employees. However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening. In a study focused on retirement planning, volunteers completed a brief online survey under two different deadline conditions. One group had seven days to finish the survey, while the other was given 14 days. The researchers discovered that those facing the longer deadline often viewed the task as more difficult. Although participants with the extended deadline initially invested more time and resources, they were also more likely to procrastinate and less likely to complete the assignment compared to those with shorter deadlines. Recognizing that people frequently deal with multiple deadlines, researchers explored how individuals manage various tasks at the same time. The findings found a mental tendency: individuals often delay important tasks in favor of urgent but less significant ones. For example, many delay routine medical check-ups crucial for health in favor of rushing to a store for a limited-time sale. This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant, while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction. These patterns have significant results for managers and others involved in setting deadlines, Understanding these mental processes can help find strategies to enhance task completion rates. Short deadlines for urgent tasks tend to draw attention more effectively, leading to higher completion rates and reduced procrastination. On the other hand, longer deadlines can lead to excessive careful thought or distraction, resulting in incomplete work. However, it’s essential to recognize that longer deadlines may still be necessary for complex tasks particularly when external factors, such as resource availability or cooperation, require additional time for proper completion. In such cases, a balanced approach is crucial: setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes. By recognizing the minor differences of human motivation, individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies for task management. 12. What does the underlined word “procrastinate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Finish quickly. B. Put off. C. Start early. D. Do carefully. 13. Why do people tend to delay important tasks for urgent ones? A. Urgent tasks offer instant rewards. B. Urgent tasks are more complicated. C. Important tasks are less challenging. D. Important tasks need multi-tasking. 14 How should managers set proper deadlines to improve outcomes? A. Set all tasks with shorter deadlines. B. Prioritize resources and cooperation. C. Balance task urgency and complexity. D. Extend deadlines for significant tasks. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Urgency in Task Completion B. Strategies for Managing Various Deadlines C. Influences of Delay on Work Quality D. The Power of Deadlines in Task Management 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了不同截止日期对任务完成情况的影响。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Although participants with the extended deadline initially invested more time and resources (虽然最后期限延长参与者最初投入了更多的时间和资源)”及“less likely to complete the assignment compared to those with shorter deadlines. (与截止日期较短的学生相比，完成任务的可能性较小。)”可知，此处通过although引导让步关系，表明主从句的转折意义，即延长截止日期会使参与者投入更多时间和资源，但可能会造成任务时间过长，即任务被拖延，并极有可能完不成任务。由此推断划线单词的含义是“拖延，延期”。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant, while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction.(这是因为重要任务感觉更复杂、更遥远，而紧急任务能提供即时的满足感。)”可知，人们倾向于把重要的任务推迟到紧急的任务之后是因为紧急任务提供即时奖励。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In such cases, a balanced approach is crucial: setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes.(在这种情况下，平衡的方法至关重要：设定既考虑紧迫性又考虑复杂性的现实截止日期可以带来更好的结果。)”可知，管理者应该平衡任务的紧迫性和复杂性以设定合理的截止日期以提高成果。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening.(然而，最近的研究表明，较短的截止日期实际上可以帮助一些人更高效地完成任务，并让他们觉得工作量不那么可怕。)”可知，文章主要探讨了截止日期对任务完成情况的影响，说明了截止日期在任务管理中的重要作用，选项D“截止日期在任务管理中的力量”最能概括文章内容，可作为本文最佳标题。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。 Conversations are like two-way streets: we take turns speaking and listening. While we often focus on what we say, there’s something profoundly positive in the act of listening. ___16___ But here’s where it gets tricky: being a good listener isn’t easy. It can be emotionally draining, especially in tough conversations. My colleagues and I recently explored the downsides of listening in a study with school teachers. We asked the teachers how much effort they put into listening to their students. And we found that the more effort teachers put into listening, the more they reported feeling burned out. Why does this happen? For teachers, listening isn’t just about hearing words. ___17___ This can be incredibly draining, especially when teachers feel responsible for solving problems they may not have the resources or time to address. This isn’t just a problem for teachers, it affects all of us. Whether we’re parents, partners, friends, or colleagues, we all find ourselves in situations where we have to listen to others’ worries and stresses. And without realizing it, we absorb that emotional weight. ___18___ In a world where we’ re constantly connected, we need to be aware of the emotional costs of listening. ___19___ First, focus on listening without planning your response. This keeps you present and allows the speaker to feel truly heard. Second, understand that sometimes listening is enough; don’t feel you have to fix the problem. ___20___ Finally, don’t always feel like you have to reflect. When someone is sharing a deeply negative experience, like the loss of loved ones, reflecting those emotions back to them may only deepen their pain. Ultimately, while listening is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection, it’s important to know when to fully engage and when to take a step back to protect our own well-being. A. So, how can we listen without burning out? B. How can we fix their problems while listening? C. Often, listening, even without taking action, is healing. D. Over time, this emotional burden can wear us down, leading to burnout. E. It involves absorbing their students’ emotional challenges and struggles. F. As is often the case, attentive listening brings unintended bad consequences. G. It can build trust, strengthen bonds, and expand our understanding of the world. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了聆听的重要性及其带来的情感负担，尤其在教师职业中，并提出了避免聆听导致情感消耗的策略，强调需要平衡自身的情感健康。 【16题详解】 上文提到“While we often focus on what we say, there’s something profoundly positive in the act of listening.(虽然我们经常关注我们说了什么，但倾听的行为中有一些非常积极的东西)”说明倾听有积极的影响。空处需要承接上文，进一步说明倾听的好处。 G选项“It can build trust, strengthen bonds, and expand our understanding of the world.(它可以建立信任，加强联系，并扩大我们对世界的理解)”正好阐述了倾听的积极作用，与上文形成连贯的论述，其中选项中的it指代前文提到的“倾听的行为”。 故选G。 【17题详解】 上文提到“For teachers, listening isn’t just about hearing words.(对教师来说，倾听不仅仅是听单词)”说明倾听对教师来说有更深的含义，接下来应该解释为什么倾听会让人感到疲惫。 E选项“It involves absorbing their students’ emotional challenges and struggles.(它涉及到吸收学生们的情感挑战和困难)”进一步解释了倾听对教师来说意味着什么，即不仅要听学生的话，还要理解并承受他们的情感压力，符合语境。 故选E。 【18题详解】 上文提到“And without realizing it, we absorb that emotional weight.(在不知不觉中，我们吸收了那种情感的重担)”说明在倾听过程中，我们可能会不自觉地承受他人的情感负担。 D选项“Over time, this emotional burden can wear us down, leading to burnout.(随着时间的推移，这种情感负担会让我们筋疲力尽，导致职业倦怠)”进一步说明了长期承受情感负担的后果，与上文形成连贯的论述。 其中选项中this emotional burden与上文的that emotional weight相呼应，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文提到“In a world where we’ re constantly connected, we need to be aware of the emotional costs of listening.(在一个我们不断相互联系的世界里，我们需要意识到倾听的情感成本)”说明倾听有情感成本，需要找到应对方法。 A选项“So, how can we listen without burning out?（那么，我们如何在不感到筋疲力尽的情况下倾听呢？）”提出了一个问题，即如何在倾听时不感到筋疲力尽，引出了下文“First,... Second,...Finally,...”对于如何有效倾听的建议。 故选A。 【20题详解】 上文提到“Second, understand that sometimes listening is enough; don’t feel you have to fix the problem.(第二，要明白有时倾听就足够了；不要觉得你必须解决问题)”说明倾听本身就是一种支持，不一定需要采取行动。C选项“Often, listening, even without taking action, is healing.(通常，倾听，即使不采取行动，也是一种治愈)”进一步强调了倾听的积极作用，即使不直接解决问题，也能给人带来安慰和治愈。故选C。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Six years as a space reporter taught me that chaos rules everything. Nothing is completely predictable or controlled. I have watched enough go wrong to know that no view of a celestial (天空的) event is ever truly promised to us ____21____ on the earth. So when my mother and I decided to drive to Erie, Pennsylvania, to see the April 8 total solar eclipse (日全食) this year, I knew this would be a trip of two ____22____ attitudes. I’d be ____23____ about the weather and convinced we’d be victims of the randomness that governs the world while my mom would have strong faith that order would ____24____ and the skies would let us see an eclipse like this for the first time in our lives. I told her not to ____25____the universe for this one; she told me she wouldn’t depend on anything else. I was once again humbled into a ____26____ I’ve learned time and time again: Mama knows best. Erie’s forecast said that morning was looking ____27____, but after 2 p.m., the clouds over the city’s bay began to ____28____ roll away.

In June, my husband was offered a new Job in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter (广告文字撰写人), I, without any hesitation, made the decision to relocate with him. While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn’t grant me the same privilege. But that’s okay. I didn’t know what to do anyway. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose. Our new home was a bungalow near a river that cut across expansive grasslands. With few people around our home, I turned to nature, which had been a fondness of mine since childhood. Every day, I would take my camera and wander around, photographing aimlessly. It wasn’t long before September arrived, bringing the full flow of the rainy season. After one particularly bad thunderstorm, I found a finch (雀) — a poor little thing barely a month old with one wing broken — on the ground. Evidently, he had been abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the size of my lite finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shuddering, too young to survive alone. I somehow felt a connection with it. Immediately I scooped him up and cautiously placed him in a cardboard box with towels, mimicking a nest, and stayed up all night researching how to care for him. The next day, he seemed to regain some energy. He woke with his mouth open, though still too weak to let out a call. I fed him some food and chirped (叽喳) at him. To my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed into my hand. I affectionately gazed at this adorable creature, who was now boldly pecking (啄) my fingers now and then. A surge of warmth ran through me. Tenderly stroking his feathers, I chirped a lullaby, singing him to sleep. Gradually, his eyes drooped and he drifted off. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene — as far as he was concerned, I was his mother. Para 1. “I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2. At that moment I realized that as I dedicated myself to the finch’s care, something within me changed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. The bond between us grew stronger with each passing day. I named him Sunny, as his bright yellow feathers brought a ray of sunshine into my life. Sunny became my constant companion, and I poured all my love and attention into nurturing him back to health. I researched tirelessly, learning about finch behavior, diet, and habitat. Every moment spent with Sunny was a precious gift, and I found purpose in providing him with the care and love he needed. At that moment, I realized that as I dedicated myself to the finch's care, something within me changed. I discovered a newfound sense of fulfillment and purpose that had been missing from my life for so long. As I watched him grow stronger, his broken wing healing, I felt a renewed sense of hope and joy. The experience of nursing Sunny back to health inspired within me a desire to make a difference in the lives of animals and share their stories through my photography. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者2013年跟随丈夫搬到加纳后的生活经历。在加纳，由于签证问题，作者没有工作，感到孤立、思乡，并且缺乏目标。然而，在一次雷雨后，作者发现了一只受伤的小雀，决定照顾它，给它命名为Sunny。通过照料Sunny，作者重新找到了人生的意义和目标，决心用摄影来为动物们的生命故事发声。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我会照顾你的。”我低声说，向他保证。”可知，第一段可描写作者给鸟儿起了名字，并倾注爱和关心去照顾这只雀的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在那一刻，我意识到，当我全身心地照顾这只雀的时候，我内心的某些东西发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者在照顾鸟的过程中发生的内心变化和生活感悟。 2.续写线索：决定照顾鸟——给鸟起名字Sunny——倾注爱和关心让鸟恢复健康——重新发现自己的目标感和成就感——作者内心的态度发生变化——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①倾注我所有的爱和关注：pour all my love and attention into/pour out all my love and attention ② 了解：learn about/ acquaint ③ 看到：watch/witness 情绪类 ①不知疲倦地：tirelessly/without tirelessness ② 感受到一种新的希望和喜悦：feel a renewed sense of hope and joy/feel hopeful and joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] I researched tirelessly, learning about finch behavior, diet, and habitat.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] As I watched him grow stronger, his broken wing healing, I felt a renewed sense of hope and joy. （运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河北衡水中学2024 - 25届高三年级下学期模拟考 英语 本试卷8页，总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Europe is launching hundreds of bold rewilding initiatives in the following places, which leads to a lot of benefits for wildlife and people. Apennine Hunting, poisoning, and traffic accidents endanger some 60 Marsican bears in the central Apennine. Removing outdated fencing helps them move freely and the number of tourists is strictly controlled. Kraansvlak Bison (野牛) introduced to work as landscape engineers feed on trees invading easily destroyed sand hills. The result: a sustainable ecosystem and habitat. Koitajoki Work to restore 2,500 acres of peatlands (泥炭地) has been beneficial to birds, flood reduction, and ecosystems under the water, aiding fish such as Finland’s last natural salmon. Carpathian Mountains The government’s calling on sustainable tourism leads to decreasing tourist numbers The region is seeing the return of wildlife to abandoned farmland. CONSERVATION VS REWILDING These two restoration models are guided by different approaches and long - term goals. 1. What is the intention of launching the Nature Restoration Law? A. To protect the world’s land. B. To conduct wildlife research. C. To preserve the EU’s declining area. D. To promote biological initiatives. 2. What is the common approach used in Apennine and Carpathian Mountains? A Forbidding hunting. B. Limiting tourist numbers. C. Dismissing outdated measures. D. Restoring abandoned lands. 3.

My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 5. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 6. Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A. Healthy and cautious. B. Caring and responsible. C. Cooperative and modest. D. Educated and committed. 7. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A. Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B. Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth. C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. C Among the members of my social network, a handful bring out mixed emotions — both eagerness and fear. Interactions with them feel like a conversational game of Russian roulette (轮盘赌). In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but if I catch them at the wrong moment, they can wipe out all my positive energy. There is simply no knowing what is to come. If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies. Julianne Holt-Lunstad and her colleagues at Brigham Young University have designed a scale that identifies four categories of relationships. You can try it for yourself. Pick a couple of people within your social network and answer the following two questions on a scale of one (not at all) to six (very much). When you are feeling in need of advice, understanding or a favor, how helpful is your connection? Likewise, how upsetting is your connection? People who score one on both questions are your indifferent relationships — a neighbor, perhaps, with neither good nor bad qualities. Those who score highly on the first question, while getting the lowest possible rating on the second, are your supportive and loyal social ties. Those with the lowest score on the first question and high marks on the second are aversive relationships. Finally, anyone with a score of two or more on both scales is considered an ambivalent connection — your frenemies. They may be incredibly generous when you have a problem yet can also strike back with a bitter put-down when they feel envious or threatened. Research suggests that ambivalent, love-hate relationships are often more stressful than consistently negative ones, damaging mental and physical health. Cutting off contact may not always be possible, especially if the person is a boss or family member. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. Personally, I use this insight to prepare myself emotionally, focus on the positives, and limit interactions when needed. It also leads me to reflect on my own actions — am I ever the frenemy? I am resolved to be a little more mindful of my interactions with all my ties. 8. Why does the author compare interactions with certain people to Russian roulette? A. To suggest ways to handle these interactions. B. To show how these people compete for attention. C. To introduce a social game these people like to play. D. To stress how unpredictable these interactions can be. 9. Which figure best illustrates the different types of relationships in our social network? A. B. C. D. 10. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Avoid interacting with frenemies. B. Caution against acting like a frenemy. C. Encourage frenemies to act more positively. D. Balance frenemies with supportive friendships. 11. What is the central message the author intends to convey through this text? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Only true friends are worth keeping. C. A healthy friendship needs give-and-take. D. Love-hate relationships are surprisingly bad. D “Can you finish the work by the end of the day?” This question might cause anxiety for many employees. However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening. In a study focused on retirement planning, volunteers completed a brief online survey under two different deadline conditions. One group had seven days to finish the survey, while the other was given 14 days. The researchers discovered that those facing the longer deadline often viewed the task as more difficult. Although participants with the extended deadline initially invested more time and resources, they were also more likely to procrastinate and less likely to complete the assignment compared to those with shorter deadlines. Recognizing that people frequently deal with multiple deadlines, researchers explored how individuals manage various tasks at the same time. The findings found a mental tendency: individuals often delay important tasks in favor of urgent but less significant ones. For example, many delay routine medical check-ups crucial for health in favor of rushing to a store for a limited-time sale. This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant, while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction. These patterns have significant results for managers and others involved in setting deadlines, Understanding these mental processes can help find strategies to enhance task completion rates. Short deadlines for urgent tasks tend to draw attention more effectively, leading to higher completion rates and reduced procrastination. On the other hand, longer deadlines can lead to excessive careful thought or distraction, resulting in incomplete work. However, it’s essential to recognize that longer deadlines may still be necessary for complex tasks particularly when external factors, such as resource availability or cooperation, require additional time for proper completion. In such cases, a balanced approach is crucial: setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes. By recognizing the minor differences of human motivation, individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies for task management. 12.

While we often focus on what we say, there’s something profoundly positive in the act of listening. ___16___ But here’s where it gets tricky: being a good listener isn’t easy. It can be emotionally draining, especially in tough conversations. My colleagues and I recently explored the downsides of listening in a study with school teachers. We asked the teachers how much effort they put into listening to their students. And we found that the more effort teachers put into listening, the more they reported feeling burned out. Why does this happen? For teachers, listening isn’t just about hearing words. ___17___ This can be incredibly draining, especially when teachers feel responsible for solving problems they may not have the resources or time to address. This isn’t just a problem for teachers, it affects all of us. Whether we’re parents, partners, friends, or colleagues, we all find ourselves in situations where we have to listen to others’ worries and stresses. And without realizing it, we absorb that emotional weight. ___18___ In a world where we’ re constantly connected, we need to be aware of the emotional costs of listening. ___19___ First, focus on listening without planning your response. This keeps you present and allows the speaker to feel truly heard. Second, understand that sometimes listening is enough; don’t feel you have to fix the problem. ___20___ Finally, don’t always feel like you have to reflect. When someone is sharing a deeply negative experience, like the loss of loved ones, reflecting those emotions back to them may only deepen their pain. Ultimately, while listening is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection, it’s important to know when to fully engage and when to take a step back to protect our own well-being. A. So, how can we listen without burning out? B. How can we fix their problems while listening? C. Often, listening, even without taking action, is healing. D. Over time, this emotional burden can wear us down, leading to burnout. E. It involves absorbing their students’ emotional challenges and struggles. F. As is often the case, attentive listening brings unintended bad consequences. G. It can build trust, strengthen bonds, and expand our understanding of the world. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Six years as a space reporter taught me that chaos rules everything.

In June, my husband was offered a new Job in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter (广告文字撰写人), I, without any hesitation, made the decision to relocate with him. While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn’t grant me the same privilege. But that’s okay. I didn’t know what to do anyway. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose. Our new home was a bungalow near a river that cut across expansive grasslands. With few people around our home, I turned to nature, which had been a fondness of mine since childhood. Every day, I would take my camera and wander around, photographing aimlessly. It wasn’t long before September arrived, bringing the full flow of the rainy season. After one particularly bad thunderstorm, I found a finch (雀) — a poor little thing barely a month old with one wing broken — on the ground. Evidently, he had been abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the size of my lite finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shuddering, too young to survive alone. I somehow felt a connection with it. Immediately I scooped him up and cautiously placed him in a cardboard box with towels, mimicking a nest, and stayed up all night researching how to care for him. The next day, he seemed to regain some energy. He woke with his mouth open, though still too weak to let out a call. I fed him some food and chirped (叽喳) at him. To my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed into my hand. I affectionately gazed at this adorable creature, who was now boldly pecking (啄) my fingers now and then. A surge of warmth ran through me. Tenderly stroking his feathers, I chirped a lullaby, singing him to sleep. Gradually, his eyes drooped and he drifted off. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene — as far as he was concerned, I was his mother. Para 1. “I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2. At that moment I realized that as I dedicated myself to the finch’s care, something within me changed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
