All you need to do is choose a location that offers you the skill you want to acquire. Here are four of the many exciting vacation learning opportunities you can explore around the globe. Take a Cooking Vacation Have you been in love with French cooking? According to The International Kitchen, the best foodie vacation includes cooking classes and food tastings. You can even meet with a local chef at a market to purchase ingredients to learn how to make your favorite dish. You can also go to cooking schools. The class size is small and there are trips to local markets to source ingredients before learning how to cook the specialties of the region you visit. Learn How to Climb Rocks If you are physically fit and up to a challenge, you can learn rock climbing in the Appalachian Mountains through Outward Bound, a program that offers young people expeditions throughout the US. The courses that are designed to teach self-reliance along with new skills run for one to two weeks. Acquire a New Language Did you ever dream of speaking Spanish? There are language immersion classes that can accelerate language acquisition. From one-week classes to full semesters, there are experiences for everyone. Go World Travel magazine recommends going off the beaten path and taking a study vacation in Costa Rica, Patagonia, or the Galapagos. Immerse Yourself in History Do you dig history? Then participating in an archaeological dig might be the best learning vacation for you. Learn how to excavate (挖掘), clean , and identify objects from real excavations. Many universities run digs during the summer in countries in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. You can also volunteer to work on an excavation any time of the year with the Israel Antiquities Authority. You must be at least 18 and physically fit. 1. What is a key feature of the cooking vacation? A. Learning rock climbing skills. B. Taking language immersion classes. C. Participating in archaeological digs. D. Learning how to cook regional specialties. 2. How long does a rock-climbing program last? A. 7-14 days. B. 18 days. C. A month. D. A term. 3. Which qualification must a volunteer have to participate in excavation work? A. Being a healthy adult. B. Being fluent in Spanish. C. Having climbing experience. D. Having a knowledge of archaeology. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种在旅行中可学习新技能的度假方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Take a Cooking Vacation部分中“The class size is small and there are trips to local markets to source ingredients before learning how to cook the specialties of the region you visit. (班级规模很小，在学习如何烹饪你所访问地区的特色菜之前，还会去当地市场采购食材。)”可知，烹饪度假的关键特点是学习如何烹饪当地特色菜。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Learn How to Climb Rocks部分中“The courses that are designed to teach self-reliance along with new skills run for one to two weeks. (这些课程旨在教授自力更生和新技能，为期一到两周。)”可知，攀岩课程持续7 - 14天。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Immerse Yourself in History部分中“You must be at least 18 and physically fit. (你必须年满18岁且身体健康。)”可知，参加挖掘工作的志愿者必须是健康的成年人。故选A。 B In the leafy Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey lies a very different kind of farm: the astonishing Funny Farm, a not-for-profit animal shelter open to the public two days a week, created by New Jersey’s own Doctor Doolittle, Laurie Zaleski. Every animal here is a rescue — abused, abandoned, disabled — and Zaleski has healed and protected more than 600 animals over the last 20 years, from retired racehorses to raucous roosters. “We have 115 roosters,” she said. In Zaleski’s eyes, Funny Farm is a perfect place, especially for animals. And it is the same with people. When you walk through the gates, you can feel the inner peace and harmony, because they all get along here. As she writes in her book Funny Farm: My Unexpected Life with 600 Rescue Animals, “there are lessons here for our polarized, at-each-others-throat society, because the creatures on the Funny Farm live in harmony, no matter how different they are. It’s not quite the fairy tale of the lion lying down with the lamb, but as friendships go, this bond between Emily the emu(鹋) and a goose named Airplane (because of her wounded wings) is pretty jaw-dropping.” Zookeepers often place orphaned babies with mothers of another species who are nursing. And when animals meet when they’re young, anything is possible. Even with an animal that’s blind, another animal may kind of turn into a seeing-eye dog and protect that animal, and show where the food is, and just be the bodyguard, be the helper. “I think you see this in cage so often, because these animals are taken care of, they’re not competing for food and they’re not stressed. And so, they have this luxury of being able to be social with other animals,” said Zaleski. 4. What do we know about animals on the Funny Farm? A. They need help. B. They are retired. C. They are funny. D. They enjoy good health. 5. How will a person feel when he enters Funny Farm? A. Absurd and strange. B. Peaceful and harmonious. C. Confident and proud. D. Stressed and sympathetic. 6. What may have happened to Airplane? A. She saved a lamb. B. She dropped her jaws. C. She crashed herself. D. She had her wings hurt. 7. How do animals on the Funny Farm get along? A. By fighting with each other. B. By competing for food. C. By socializing with each other. D. By playing tricks on each other. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了新泽西州南部一个非营利性的动物收容所。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Every animal here is a rescue — abused, abandoned, disabled — and Zaleski has healed and protected more than 600 animals over the last 20 years, from retired racehorses to raucous roosters.(这里的每只动物都是救援对象——被虐待的、被遗弃的、残疾的——在过去的20年里，Zaleski治愈并保护了600多只动物，从退役的赛马到喧闹的公鸡)”可知，Funny Farm里的动物都需要帮助。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When you walk through the gates, you can feel the inner peace and harmony, because they all get along here.(当你穿过大门，你可以感受到内心的平静与和谐，因为它们在这里和谐相处)”可知，走进Funny Farm会感受到平静与和谐。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“but as friendships go, this bond between Emily the emu(鸸鹋) and a goose named Airplane (because of her wounded wings) is pretty jaw-dropping.(但就友谊而言，鸸鹋Emily和一只名叫Airplane的鹅（因为她的翅膀受伤了）之间的友谊非常令人瞠目结舌)”可知，Airplane的翅膀受伤了。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Even with an animal that’s blind, another animal may kind of turn into a seeing-eye dog and protect that animal, and show where the food is, and just be the bodyguard, be the helper.(即使是一只失明的动物，另一只动物可能会变成导盲犬，保护这只动物，告诉它食物在哪里，就像一个保镖，一个帮手)”可知，Funny Farm里面的动物通过彼此社交而相处。故选C。 C When she first came to Britain as a refugee (难民) from Nigeria six years ago, Kemi had a three-month-old daughter, a room in a shared house and ￡5.39 to survive on each day. Finding money for new clothes was out of the question. After four years, Kemi was granted (给与) refugee status and secured her first job interview — unsurprisingly, she had nothing to wear. However, she was referred to a small social enterprise called Give Your Best, which asked her her size and what kind of clothes she liked. “And they gave me three beautiful shirts. Those clothes were like gold to me. They asked me what I actually wanted. That makes you feel valued.” The initiative was launched by Sol Escobar, who had spent several years volunteering at refugee camps in northern France. A friend put her in contact with a household of refugee women who couldn’t access any clothing. Escobar realised she had surplus (剩余) clothes she could donate, and appealed to her friends and networks for help. She was flooded with offers, but didn’t want to overload the women with potentially improper clothing. “So I thought, if I take photos of all of these items and put them on an Instagram page, they can all choose the things that they actually want.” Eighteen months later, Give Your Best has processed almost 11,000 items of clothing, and has more than 800 refugee women approved to “shop” for free on its virtual shopfront. It is aiming for much more, however. Having reached the very limit of donations and requests it could handle through Instagram, the enterprise has just launched a new digital platform that will allow it to hugely upscale. Like the hugely successful clothing resale app, clothes are photographed and uploaded to Give Your Best, where customers select those they like and donors then post the item. Crucially, however, no money changes hands. As well as giving choice to its users and minimising fashion waste, Escobar says one consequence has been the small but intimate (亲密的) connections established between donor and shopper. Many donors choose to include a supportive note and a small gift — hugely welcomed by recipients (接受者), but also a reminder that “on the other side of your package, there’s a woman who is your size and has your fashion sense, because she’s shopping from your wardrobe (衣橱)”. 8. What’s the purpose of the enterprise? A. To offer job training to refugees. B. To provide childcare for refugees. C. To give refugees dignity of choice. D. To strengthen refugees’ social position. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. How the enterprise survived. B. How the enterprise advertised. C. How the enterprise was named. D. How the enterprise was initiated. 10. What do we learn about the enterprise from the text? A. It is warmly received. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It makes huge profits. D. It needs to be more creative. 11. What does the enterprise bring to its donors and recipients? A. Enjoyable shopping experience. B. A sense of social responsibility. C. Close interpersonal relationship. D. A good insight into fashion trend. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Sol Escobar创立的企业Give Your Best为难民提供免费的衣服，并在捐赠者和难民之间建立了亲密的人际关系。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根第二段“After four years, Kemi was granted (给与) refugee status and secured her first job interview — unsurprisingly, she had nothing to wear. However, she was referred to a small social enterprise called Give Your Best, which asked her her size and what kind of clothes she liked. ‘And they gave me three beautiful shirts. Those clothes were like gold to me. They asked me what I actually wanted. That makes you feel valued.’(四年后，Kemi获得了难民身份，并获得了她的第一次工作面试——不出所料，她没有衣服穿。但是，她被介绍到一家名为Give Your Best的小型社会企业，该企业询问她的尺码和喜欢什么样的衣服。“他们给了我三件漂亮的衬衫。那些衣服对我来说就像金子一样珍贵。他们问我到底想要什么。这会让你觉得自己受到重视。”)”可知，Give Your Best让像Kemi一样的难民可以根据自己的尺码和喜好选择衣服，这种做法给予了难民以选择的尊严。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The initiative was launched by Sol Escobar, who had spent several years volunteering at refugee camps in northern France. A friend put her in contact with a household of refugee women who couldn’t access any clothing. Escobar realised she had surplus (剩余) clothes she could donate, and appealed to her friends and networks for help. She was flooded with offers, but didn’t want to overload the women with potentially improper clothing. ‘So I thought, if I take photos of all of these items and put them on an Instagram page, they can all choose the things that they actually want.’(这项倡议是由索尔·埃斯科瓦尔发起的，他曾在法国北部的难民营做过几年志愿者。一个朋友帮她联系了一户没有衣服穿的难民妇女。埃斯科巴意识到她有多余的衣服可以捐赠，于是她向朋友和网络寻求帮助。她收到了大量的捐赠，但她不想因为可能不合适的服装而让这些女性负担过重。“所以我想，如果我把所有这些东西都拍下来，放到Instagram主页上，他们就可以选择自己真正想要的东西了。”)”可推知，本段主要讲是的企业Give Your Best是如何创立的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Eighteen months later, Give Your Best has processed almost 11,000 items of clothing, and has more than 800 refugee women approved to “shop” for free on its virtual shopfront.(8个月后，Give Your Best已经处理了近1.1万件衣服，并有800多名难民妇女获准在其虚拟店面免费“购物”)”可推知，企业Give Your Best深受欢迎。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As well as giving choice to its users and minimising fashion waste, Escobar says one consequence has been the small but intimate (亲密的) connections established between donor and shopper.(埃斯科瓦尔说，除了为用户提供选择并最大限度地减少时尚浪费之外，另一个结果是在捐赠者和购物者之间建立了微小但亲密的联系)”可知，企业Give Your Best让捐赠者和接受者建立了亲密的人际关系。故选C项。 D We all know cacti (仙人掌) store water — but to survive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, and so much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future. One of the most exciting advancements involves Copiapoa, a genus of cacti with at least 32 species found in the coastal Atacama Desert, the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. These cacti, typically five to six inches wide, can form gray-green bushes that spread out over an area otherwise empty of vegetation. Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-colleting process might be reproduced in metal structures. Specifically, Malik took a close look at the one-and-a-quarter-inch spines of Copiapoas and found that their surface has a series of tiny channels that broaden at the base. “This creates a surface roughness that enables dewdrops to move along them even against gravity,” she says. Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. After several years of experiments — testing indoor and outdoor conditions, and with various cooling methods — she finally got it to work. In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline. Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. “The easiest way could be to place dew-harvesting surfaces on roofs, but you could also have these structures in tents in the desert,” she says. “We truly have hidden treasures in the Copiapoa, and we are only just learning some of their secrets.” 12. What does the underlined word “resilient” mean in paragraph 1? A. Highly adaptable to different soils. B. Able to grow quickly and efficiently C. Resistant to diseases and harmful insects. D. Capable of surviving difficult conditions 13. What drove Tegwen Malik to study Copiapoas? A. Their metal-like surface. B. Their mechanism to gather water. C. Their typical appearance D. Their ability to form water drops. 14. What was the main focus of Malik’s experiment with the Copiapoa? A. Recreating a flat metal copy of it B. Testing if its metal copy would work C. Seeing how it survives various climates. D. Finding the most efficient cooling method for it. 15. How may Malik’s metal structure be applied? A. To secure water supply in dry areas. B. To clean salty water in desert homes. C. To enable desert explorers to travel light. D. To improve ways to discover hidden treasures. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家受仙人掌启发，研发出了可以在干旱地区收集露水的金属结构，为干燥地区提供清洁水源。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Weallknow cacti (仙人掌) store water-but to surive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, andso much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future. (我们都知道仙人掌能储存水分，但为了生存，它们还会调整花朵的位置以获得更多阳光或阴凉，诸如此类还有很多。科学家们一直在模仿这些resilient的植物的方法，以帮助设计我们的未来)”可知，划线词修饰的plants指代Weallknow cacti (仙人掌)，这种植物能在干旱的沙漠中生存下来，所以推断resilient的意思是“能在困难环境中生存下来的”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-collecting process might be reproduced in metal structures. (许多科学家记录到，Copiapoas可能通过“饮用”每天早晨从海上席卷而来的咸雾，以及在其尖刺和皮肤上形成的露水——微小的水滴——来生存。这启发了来自斯旺西大学的研究者Tegwen Malik思考露水收集过程是否可以在金属结构中重现)”可知，是仙人掌收集水分的机制启发了Tegwen Malik去研究它。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. (从2013年开始，她开始通过制作Copiapoa茎和刺的平面金属复制品来重现这种结构，并在一系列不同的温度和湿度下开始测试)”以及“In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline. (2023年，Malik发表了一项研究，研究表明，这种不规则表面收集露水的效率比用作基准的平面高8%)”可知，Malik关于Copiapoa的实验重点是测试它的金属复制品是否有效。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. (Malik设想沙漠中的房屋有集水功能，为干旱地区提供清洁水源)”可知，Malik的金属结构可能被应用于确保干旱地区的水供应。故选A。 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。 Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. ____16____ It is about being intentional with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal. ●Be conscious about your time. Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. ____17____ If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate (分配) it for positive activities. ●____18____ You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving. ●Learn to be grateful. Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. ____19____ ●Believe in yourself. It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. ____20____ Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line. Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run. A. Know yourself better. B. Accept the person you are. C. Life can be a lot better with the right decisions. D. It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy. E. Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference. F. The way you spend your time determines the course of your life. G. The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何学会有意识地生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend.(有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚)”中“not just”可知，有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚，因此下文会更一进定义有意识的生活，D“It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.(它是一种健康的选择，能让你快乐)”提出有意识的生活还能带来快乐，与上文构成递进关系，句中代词it指代上文中“Conscious (有意识的) living”。故选D项。 【17题详解】 上文“Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again.(时间是最宝贵的东西，因为没有办法让一个瞬间重来)”分析了时间宝贵的原因，F项“The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.(你如何利用时间，决定了你的人生轨迹)”承接上文，说明利用时间对人生的重意义，照应本段主题“Be conscious about your time.(要意识到你的时间)”，上下文语意连贯一致。故选F项。 【18题详解】 设空处是本段标题，根据下文“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.(除非你了解自己的需求和意图，否则你无法实现这些目标。这说起来容易做起来难，因为大多数人都没有努力去了解自己。花点时间思考并了解自己的优点和缺点。一旦你更了解自己，你就可以制定一个计划，让自己变得更有耐心、诚实和宽容)”可知，本段主要讲要去了解自己，所以A项“Know yourself better.(更好地了解自己)”是最佳标题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. (写感恩日记是一个计算你所拥有的幸福的良好开端)”提出用写日记的方式来学会感恩，E项“Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.(把它作为一种日常习惯，你会发现其中的不同)”承接上文，建议让写感恩日记变成一种习惯，上下文语意连贯；句中it指代上文中“Writing a gratitude journal”。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据小标题“Believe in yourself.(相信自己)”可知，本段主要讲相信自己，即建立自信，G项“The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.(建立自信的最好方法是反思自己的想法)”提出方法，上下语意连贯。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) There are moments when I feel more like a student than a teacher in my own classroom.

Mia, a 17-year-old high school student, was rushing to catch the last bus home after a long day at school. Her mind was preoccupied with a challenging math test she had just completed. The wind was biting, and the sky had been threatening rain all day. She had forgotten her umbrella at home, and now, as she stood at the bus stop, she could feel the first drops of rain falling, chilling her skin. Mia sighed, pulling her jacket tighter around her body. The cold made her shiver, and she wished she had remembered to bring the umbrella. Her parents were both working late, and she didn’t have enough money for a taxi. The thought of walking home in this weather made her feel miserable. The last thing she wanted was to get soaked and catch a cold. She glanced down at her phone, but the bus app showed no sign of the bus arriving anytime soon. As she waited, her mind wandered back to the pressures of school. She had been struggling with her grades recently, and the thought of facing another disappointed look from her parents made her stomach churn. Just as the rain began to fall more heavily, a car pulled up beside her. The window rolled down, and a man in his early thirties, dressed in a business suit, called out to her. “Excuse me, are you waiting for the bus?” Mia looked up, surprised by the sudden question. She hadn’t expected anyone to speak to her, especially not a stranger. She nodded cautiously. “Yes, I am.” The man smiled kindly, noticing her discomfort: “It looks like it’s going to rain heavily. I’m heading in the same direction. Would you like a ride to the next bus stop? It’s not safe to stand out here in this weather.” Mia hesitated. She had always been taught to be careful with strangers, but the man seemed genuinely concerned, and the rain was coming down harder. After a brief pause, she nodded. “Okay, thank you.” 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。 The man unlocked the passenger door, and Mia quickly climbed inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before she knew it, they had reached the next bus stop. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The man unlocked the passenger door, and Mia quickly climbed inside. The warmth of the car hit her immediately, chasing away the cold. She thanked the man again, still a bit nervous. The man introduced himself as Mr. Johnson and started chatting casually, asking about her school day. Mia gradually relaxed, sharing her struggles with the math test. Mr. Johnson listened attentively, offering words of encouragement. His kind voice and friendly manner made her feel at ease. Before she knew it, they had reached the next bus stop. Mia was reluctant to leave. She thanked Mr. Johnson sincerely, her eyes shining with gratitude. Mr. Johnson smiled, saying he was glad he could help. As Mia got off the car, she felt a new sense of warmth. This unexpected kindness from a stranger had not only saved her from the rain but also lifted her spirits. She watched as the car drove away, determined to pass on this kindness someday. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Mia在寒冷下雨的傍晚等车时，因忘记带伞且公交迟迟不来而陷入困境，这时一位陌生男子主动提出载她到下一个公交站的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那人打开了乘客门，米娅迅速爬了进去。”可知，第一段可描写Mia上车后的情况，包括车内的温暖让她放松，男子与她聊天，她逐渐放下戒备并分享自己的烦恼，男子给予鼓励等。 ②由第二段首句内容“不知不觉，他们已经到了下一个公交车站。”可知，第二段可描写到达公交站后Mia的感激之情，男子表示很高兴能帮到她，Mia受到鼓舞并决定传递这份善意。 续写线索：上车感受温暖——男子聊天——Mia分享烦恼——男子鼓励——到达公交站——Mia感激并决心传递善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闲聊：chat casually/have a casual conversation/talk in a relaxed way ②询问：ask/inquire/query ③倾听：listen attentively/listen with full attention/give an ear to 情绪类 ①感到安心的：feel at ease/feel comforted/feel secure ②振奋精神：lift one’s spirits/raise one’s spirits 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Mia got off the car, she felt a new sense of warmth.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】She watched as the car drove away, determined to pass on this kindness someday.（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 $ 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 分数：150分 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

All you need to do is choose a location that offers you the skill you want to acquire. Here are four of the many exciting vacation learning opportunities you can explore around the globe. Take a Cooking Vacation Have you been in love with French cooking? According to The International Kitchen, the best foodie vacation includes cooking classes and food tastings. You can even meet with a local chef at a market to purchase ingredients to learn how to make your favorite dish. You can also go to cooking schools. The class size is small and there are trips to local markets to source ingredients before learning how to cook the specialties of the region you visit. Learn How to Climb Rocks If you are physically fit and up to a challenge, you can learn rock climbing in the Appalachian Mountains through Outward Bound, a program that offers young people expeditions throughout the US. The courses that are designed to teach self-reliance along with new skills run for one to two weeks. Acquire a New Language Did you ever dream of speaking Spanish? There are language immersion classes that can accelerate language acquisition. From one-week classes to full semesters, there are experiences for everyone. Go World Travel magazine recommends going off the beaten path and taking a study vacation in Costa Rica, Patagonia, or the Galapagos. Immerse Yourself in History Do you dig history? Then participating in an archaeological dig might be the best learning vacation for you. Learn how to excavate (挖掘), clean , and identify objects from real excavations. Many universities run digs during the summer in countries in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. You can also volunteer to work on an excavation any time of the year with the Israel Antiquities Authority. You must be at least 18 and physically fit. 1. What is a key feature of the cooking vacation? A. Learning rock climbing skills. B. Taking language immersion classes. C. Participating in archaeological digs. D.

Which qualification must a volunteer have to participate in excavation work? A. Being a healthy adult. B. Being fluent in Spanish. C. Having climbing experience. D. Having a knowledge of archaeology. B In the leafy Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey lies a very different kind of farm: the astonishing Funny Farm, a not-for-profit animal shelter open to the public two days a week, created by New Jersey’s own Doctor Doolittle, Laurie Zaleski. Every animal here is a rescue — abused, abandoned, disabled — and Zaleski has healed and protected more than 600 animals over the last 20 years, from retired racehorses to raucous roosters. “We have 115 roosters,” she said. In Zaleski’s eyes, Funny Farm is a perfect place, especially for animals. And it is the same with people. When you walk through the gates, you can feel the inner peace and harmony, because they all get along here. As she writes in her book Funny Farm: My Unexpected Life with 600 Rescue Animals, “there are lessons here for our polarized, at-each-others-throat society, because the creatures on the Funny Farm live in harmony, no matter how different they are. It’s not quite the fairy tale of the lion lying down with the lamb, but as friendships go, this bond between Emily the emu(鹋) and a goose named Airplane (because of her wounded wings) is pretty jaw-dropping.” Zookeepers often place orphaned babies with mothers of another species who are nursing. And when animals meet when they’re young, anything is possible. Even with an animal that’s blind, another animal may kind of turn into a seeing-eye dog and protect that animal, and show where the food is, and just be the bodyguard, be the helper. “I think you see this in cage so often, because these animals are taken care of, they’re not competing for food and they’re not stressed. And so, they have this luxury of being able to be social with other animals,” said Zaleski. 4. What do we know about animals on the Funny Farm? A. They need help. B. They are retired. C. They are funny. D. They enjoy good health. 5. How will a person feel when he enters Funny Farm? A. Absurd and strange. B. Peaceful and harmonious. C Confident and proud. D. Stressed and sympathetic. 6. What may have happened to Airplane? A. She saved a lamb. B. She dropped her jaws. C. She crashed herself. D. She had her wings hurt. 7. How do animals on the Funny Farm get along? A. By fighting with each other. B. By competing for food. C. By socializing with each other. D. By playing tricks on each other. C When she first came to Britain as a refugee (难民) from Nigeria six years ago, Kemi had a three-month-old daughter, a room in a shared house and ￡5.39 to survive on each day. Finding money for new clothes was out of the question. After four years, Kemi was granted (给与) refugee status and secured her first job interview — unsurprisingly, she had nothing to wear. However, she was referred to a small social enterprise called Give Your Best, which asked her her size and what kind of clothes she liked. “And they gave me three beautiful shirts. Those clothes were like gold to me. They asked me what I actually wanted. That makes you feel valued.” The initiative was launched by Sol Escobar, who had spent several years volunteering at refugee camps in northern France. A friend put her in contact with a household of refugee women who couldn’t access any clothing. Escobar realised she had surplus (剩余) clothes she could donate, and appealed to her friends and networks for help. She was flooded with offers, but didn’t want to overload the women with potentially improper clothing. “So I thought, if I take photos of all of these items and put them on an Instagram page, they can all choose the things that they actually want.” Eighteen months later, Give Your Best has processed almost 11,000 items of clothing, and has more than 800 refugee women approved to “shop” for free on its virtual shopfront. It is aiming for much more, however. Having reached the very limit of donations and requests it could handle through Instagram, the enterprise has just launched a new digital platform that will allow it to hugely upscale. Like the hugely successful clothing resale app, clothes are photographed and uploaded to Give Your Best, where customers select those they like and donors then post the item. Crucially, however, no money changes hands. As well as giving choice to its users and minimising fashion waste, Escobar says one consequence has been the small but intimate (亲密的) connections established between donor and shopper. Many donors choose to include a supportive note and a small gift — hugely welcomed by recipients (接受者), but also a reminder that “on the other side of your package, there’s a woman who is your size and has your fashion sense, because she’s shopping from your wardrobe (衣橱)”. 8. What’s the purpose of the enterprise? A. To offer job training to refugees. B. To provide childcare for refugees. C. To give refugees dignity of choice. D. To strengthen refugees’ social position. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. How the enterprise survived. B. How the enterprise advertised. C. How the enterprise was named. D. How the enterprise was initiated. 10. What do we learn about the enterprise from the text? A. It is warmly received. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It makes huge profits. D. It needs to be more creative. 11. What does the enterprise bring to its donors and recipients? A. Enjoyable shopping experience. B. A sense of social responsibility. C. Close interpersonal relationship. D. A good insight into fashion trend. D We all know cacti (仙人掌) store water — but to survive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, and so much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future. One of the most exciting advancements involves Copiapoa, a genus of cacti with at least 32 species found in the coastal Atacama Desert, the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. These cacti, typically five to six inches wide, can form gray-green bushes that spread out over an area otherwise empty of vegetation. Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-colleting process might be reproduced in metal structures. Specifically, Malik took a close look at the one-and-a-quarter-inch spines of Copiapoas and found that their surface has a series of tiny channels that broaden at the base. “This creates a surface roughness that enables dewdrops to move along them even against gravity,” she says. Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. After several years of experiments — testing indoor and outdoor conditions, and with various cooling methods — she finally got it to work. In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline. Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. “The easiest way could be to place dew-harvesting surfaces on roofs, but you could also have these structures in tents in the desert,” she says. “We truly have hidden treasures in the Copiapoa, and we are only just learning some of their secrets.” 12. What does the underlined word “resilient” mean in paragraph 1? A. Highly adaptable to different soils. B. Able to grow quickly and efficiently C. Resistant to diseases and harmful insects. D. Capable of surviving difficult conditions 13. What drove Tegwen Malik to study Copiapoas? A. Their metal-like surface. B. Their mechanism to gather water. C. Their typical appearance D. Their ability to form water drops. 14. What was the main focus of Malik’s experiment with the Copiapoa? A. Recreating a flat metal copy of it B. Testing if its metal copy would work C. Seeing how it survives various climates. D. Finding the most efficient cooling method for it. 15. How may Malik’s metal structure be applied? A. To secure water supply in dry areas. B. To clean salty water in desert homes. C. To enable desert explorers to travel light. D. To improve ways to discover hidden treasures. 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。 Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. ____16____ It is about being intentional with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices.

Mia, a 17-year-old high school student, was rushing to catch the last bus home after a long day at school. Her mind was preoccupied with a challenging math test she had just completed. The wind was biting, and the sky had been threatening rain all day. She had forgotten her umbrella at home, and now, as she stood at the bus stop, she could feel the first drops of rain falling, chilling her skin. Mia sighed, pulling her jacket tighter around her body. The cold made her shiver, and she wished she had remembered to bring the umbrella. Her parents were both working late, and she didn’t have enough money for a taxi. The thought of walking home in this weather made her feel miserable. The last thing she wanted was to get soaked and catch a cold. She glanced down at her phone, but the bus app showed no sign of the bus arriving anytime soon. As she waited, her mind wandered back to the pressures of school. She had been struggling with her grades recently, and the thought of facing another disappointed look from her parents made her stomach churn. Just as the rain began to fall more heavily, a car pulled up beside her. The window rolled down, and a man in his early thirties, dressed in a business suit, called out to her. “Excuse me, are you waiting for the bus?” Mia looked up, surprised by the sudden question. She hadn’t expected anyone to speak to her, especially not a stranger. She nodded cautiously. “Yes, I am.” The man smiled kindly, noticing her discomfort: “It looks like it’s going to rain heavily. I’m heading in the same direction. Would you like a ride to the next bus stop? It’s not safe to stand out here in this weather.” Mia hesitated. She had always been taught to be careful with strangers but the man seemed genuinely concerned, and the rain was coming down harder. After a brief pause, she nodded. “Okay, thank you.” 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。 The man unlocked the passenger door, and Mia quickly climbed inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before she knew it, they had reached the next bus stop. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
