It will run on six regular itineraries (线路) showcasing the country’s historical treasures, the Italian Alps, Venice and so on. The 11-car train features a stylish Bar Car with live music and games, and travelers will enjoy Italian seasonal produce and drinks. Amtrak to New Orleans After a gap of 20 years, the train between Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans in 2025 is being relaunched. The service stopped after Hurricane Katrina destroyed coastal rail tracks in August 2005, and it has taken years to bring it back. It may not have the luxury appeal of the Orient Express, but it will be a vital connection across the deep south of the United States for business travelers, tourists and locals alike. Brussels-Prague by European Sleeper With demand for overnight trains in Europe outstripping supply, several exciting new routes have been introduced in recent years. The standout candidate so far is Brussels-Prague overnight train in 2024. The train features sleeping compartments (车厢), with modern features such as charging points and Wi-Fi aimed at travelers on different budgets. Britannic Explorer Starting in July 2025, Britannic Explorer will become one of the major luxury trains delivering scenic itineraries around England and Wales. A luxury hotel train needs a great food experience to be perfect — in this case chef Simon Rogan has designed menus focusing on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and sustainability for lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea. 1. What can people do on the Orient Express train? A. Taste Italian foods. B. Participate in music competitions. C. Appreciate the night view of Brussels. D. Use free computers with Wi-Fi connections. 2. What caused Amtrak to suspend its train service in New Orleans? A. The ageing rail tracks. B. A natural disaster. C. The insufficient luxury appeal. D. A declining demand for trains in America. 3. What do Brussels-Prague and Britannic Explorer have in common? A. They have top-class chefs. B. They operate in Europe. C. They involve passing by the Alps. D. They are scheduled for the same year. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了四个令人兴奋的火车路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“La Dolce Vita — Italy’s New Super Deluxe Train”部分关键句“La Dolce Vita — Italy’s Orient Express train — will finally welcome its first passengers in April 2025. (意大利的东方快车La Dolce Vita将于2025年4月迎来首批乘客。)”和“The 11-car train features a stylish Bar Car with live music and games, and travelers will enjoy Italian seasonal produce and drinks. (这列11节车厢的火车设有一辆时尚的Bar Car，提供现场音乐和游戏，旅客将享受意大利时令农产品和饮料。)”可知，游客在东方快车可以享受意大利时令农产品和饮料，由此可知，乘坐东方快车可以品尝意大利食物。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Amtrak to New Orleans”部分关键句“After a gap of 20 years, the train between Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans in 2025 is being relaunched. The service stopped after Hurricane Katrina destroyed coastal rail tracks in August 2005, and it has taken years to bring it back. (经过20年的间隔，2025年阿拉巴马州莫比尔和新奥尔良之间的火车正在重新启动。2005年8月卡特里娜飓风摧毁了沿海铁路轨道后，该服务停止了，花了数年时间才恢复。)”可知，因为2005年8月卡特里娜飓风摧毁了沿海铁路轨道，所以Amtrak暂停在新奥尔良的列车服务，由此可知，自然灾害导致Amtrak暂停在新奥尔良的列车服务。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Brussels-Prague by European Sleeper”部分关键句“With demand for overnight trains in Europe outstripping supply, several exciting new routes have been introduced in recent years.

In thick, red equipment that contrasts with the blue and white landscape, researchers sample worms from the cold waters of the Southern Ocean circling Antarctica. They will bring these creatures back to their labs to study how the creatures manage to survive in sub-zero temperatures without any protective equipment. While researchers have identified that some Antarctic marine animals make antifreeze proteins to adapt to the extreme cold, similar mechanisms in invertebrates (无脊椎动物) remained poorly understood. Marine ecologist Cinzia Corinaldesi and her team discovered that the worms’ survival might depend on bacteria (细菌) living inside their bodies. These bacteria, part of the worms’ microbiome (微生物组), produce proteins that protect them from freezing. This surprising finding offers new ideas about how animals adapt to tough environments. The team collected worms from the Southern Ocean and analyzed their microbiomes. They found that two types of bacteria, Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus, were common in the worms but not in other worm species, which indicates that the worms did not recently acquire these bacteria from their environment. These bacteria are usually found in warm places like hot springs, which makes their presence in the cold Antarctic unusual. The researchers studied the relationship between the worms and their bacteria. They discovered that the worms and their microbiomes have developed together over time, forming a close partnership. This suggests that the bacteria have been helping the worms survive extreme conditions for many generations. To investigate how the worms benefit from their microbial inhabitants in these cold climates, Corinaldesi and the team analyzed the genomes of Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus bacteria. They found genes encoding or related to cold-shock proteins and other compounds like spermidine. While these findings are exciting, additional experiments are required to prove that the worms depend on the microbiome for cold adaptation. “This is just a little piece of the puzzle,” said Corinaldesi. “We need to continue with the work to expand information.” 8. Why do the scientists collect samples of worms in Antarctica? A. They hope to confirm their assumption about climate change. B. They try to reveal the worms’ possible impact on Antarctica. C. They want to figure out the worms’ abilities to survive freezing waters. D. They plan to protect endangered invertebrates in the Southern Ocean. 9. What did the researchers find about the worms and their bacteria? A. They are interdependent. B. They are new to Antarctica. C. They tend to favour warm places. D. They recently formed a close relationship. 10. What does Corinaldesi suggest regarding the study? A. Involving more scientists. B. Consulting professional advice. C. Conducting in-depth research. D. Releasing the experiment data immediately. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Which Is a Practical Way to Sample Worms B. How Wildlife in Antarctica Live in Peace C. Why We Know Little About Invertebrates D. How Worms Brave the Antarctic Cold 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了科学家们在南极洲发现蠕虫，通过研究发现，蠕虫依赖微生物群来适应寒冷，在南极洲零下的温度下幸存。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“In thick, red equipment that contrasts with the blue and white landscape, researchers sample worms from the cold waters of the Southern Ocean circling Antarctica. They will bring these creatures back to their labs to study how the creatures manage to survive in sub-zero temperatures without any protective equipment. (在与蓝色和白色景观形成鲜明对比的厚厚的红色设备中，研究人员从环绕南极洲的南大洋冷水中采集蠕虫样本。他们将把这些生物带回实验室，研究这些生物如何在没有任何防护设备的情况下在零下温度下生存)”可知，研究人员采集蠕虫样本是为了研究这些生物如何在没有任何防护设备的情况下在零下温度下生存。由此可知，科学家们在南极洲采集蠕虫样本，因为他们想弄清楚蠕虫在冰冻的水中生存的能力。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段关键句“The researchers studied the relationship between the worms and their bacteria. They discovered that the worms and their microbiomes have developed together over time, forming a close partnership. (研究人员研究了蠕虫与其细菌之间的关系。他们发现，随着时间的推移，蠕虫及其微生物群已经共同发展，形成了密切的伙伴关系)”可知，随着时间的推移，蠕虫及其微生物群已经共同发展，形成了密切的伙伴关系，由此可知，蠕虫及其细菌是相互依存的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“While these findings are exciting, additional experiments are required to prove that the worms depend on the microbiome for cold adaptation. “This is just a little piece of the puzzle,” said Corinaldesi. “We need to continue with the work to expand information.”(虽然这些发现令人兴奋，但还需要额外的实验来证明蠕虫依赖微生物群来适应寒冷。Corinaldesi说：“这只是拼图的一小部分。”“我们需要继续努力扩大信息。”)”可知，Corinaldesi认为需要额外的实验继续努力扩大信息。由此可知，Corinaldesi认为需要进行深入研究。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“They will bring these creatures back to their labs to study how the creatures manage to survive in sub-zero temperatures without any protective equipment. (他们将把这些生物带回实验室，研究这些生物如何在没有任何防护设备的情况下在零下温度下生存)”可知，本文主要讲述了科学家们在南极洲发现蠕虫，通过研究发现，蠕虫依赖微生物群来适应寒冷，在南极洲零下的温度下幸存。D项“How Worms Brave the Antarctic Cold”意为“蠕虫如何抵御南极的寒冷”，可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。 D Dar Meshi, an associate professor at Michigan State University (MSU), led a study with collaborators from the University of Lisbon in Portugal. Together, they found that the brain’s reward system can shape human behavior within urban environments and aid in designing cities that promote sustainable living. Because urban areas typically offer better access to educational and employment opportunities advanced health care facilities and diverse cultural and recreational activities, they can contribute to a higher standard of living. However, the swift pace of urbanization also gives rise to challenges such as lack of green spaces, increased traffic noise, and social inequalities, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban development strategies that prioritize health, safety and happiness for residents. To better understand how to create effective urban planning structures, Meshi used principles from the emerging field of neurourbanism. Neurourbanism primarily involves analyzing how the brain is swayed by environment. It employs tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify active regions and levels of the brain in different environments. The study involved 177US participants SV who had never visited Lisbon, Portugal. Researchers focused on the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) (腹内侧前额叶皮层), a key brain area involved in valuation and decision-making. According to Meshi, the results of the study imply that the vmPFC may be involved in processing a range of value judgments within urban environments, including perceptual, cognitive (认知的), social and cultural values. “Individuals may be drawn to visit urban spaces not only because of their aesthetic (审美的) appeal, but also due to their sociocultural relevance,” he said. “This could include places with historical significance or social importance, which may not necessarily be aesthetically pleasing, but still hold considerable value.” “The findings can inform the development of human-centric cities, tailored to how our brains interact with the environment,” Kaur, a postdoctoral researcher in the MSU, said. “From creating green spaces to designing transport systems, such insights can lead to urban environments that are both efficient and enriching.” 12. What makes it necessary to develop sustainable urban development strategies? A. Low development of cities. B. Repetitive cultural activities. C Some problems brought about by urbanization. D. Advanced health care practice. 13. What does the underlined word “swayed” mean in paragraph 3? A. Confirmed. B. Influenced. C. Designed. D. Imagined. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about concerning the vmPFC? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its unknown features. C. Its memory functions. D. Its diverse worth estimates. 15. What does Kaur think of the findings of the study? A. They are overestimated. B. They are comprehensive. C. They are contradictory. D. They are instructive. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，神经城市学能够利用人们对城市环境的大脑反应帮助创建高效又丰富的城市环境。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, the swift pace of urbanization also gives rise to challenges such as lack of green spaces, increased traffic noise, and social inequalities, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban development strategies that prioritize health, safety and happiness for residents.(然而，快速的城市化步伐也带来了诸如缺乏绿色空间、交通噪音增加和社会不平等等挑战，强调需要制定优先考虑居民健康、安全和幸福的可持续城市发展战略)”可知，快速的城市化步伐也带来了诸多挑战和问题，如绿色空间缺乏、交通噪声增加和社会不平等，这强调了制定优先考虑居民健康、安全和幸福的可持续城市发展战略的必要性。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“It employs tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify active regions and levels of the brain in different environments.(它使用功能磁共振成像（fMRI）等工具来识别不同环境下大脑的活动区域和水平)”可知，不同环境下大脑的活动区域和水平不同，由此推知大脑受到环境的影响，swayed意为“影响”，故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段内容，尤其是首句“According to Meshi, the results of the study imply that the vmPFC may be involved in processing a range of value judgments within urban environments, including perceptual, cognitive (认知的), social and cultural values. “Individuals may be drawn to visit urban spaces not only because of their aesthetic (审美的) appeal, but also due to their sociocultural relevance,” he said. “This could include places with historical significance or social importance, which may not necessarily be aesthetically pleasing, but still hold considerable value.”(根据Meshi的说法，研究结果表明vmPFC可能参与处理城市环境中的一系列价值判断，包括感知、认知、社会和文化价值。他说：“人们可能会被吸引到城市空间，不仅是因为它们的美学吸引力，还因为它们的社会文化相关性。”“这可能包括具有历史意义或社会重要性的地方，这些地方不一定美观，但仍然具有相当大的价值。”)”可知，本段提到“vmPFC可能参与处理城市环境中的多种价值判断，包括感知、认知、社会和文化价值”，并举例说明人们可能因社会文化意义而非单纯美观选择城市空间，段落核心是vmPFC对多元价值的评估作用，选项D（Its diverse worth estimates）准确概括了这一点，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘The findings can inform the development of human-centric cities, tailored to how our brains interact with the environment,’ Kaur, a postdoctoral researcher in the MSU, said. ‘From creating green spaces to designing transport systems, such insights can lead to urban environments that are both efficient and enriching.’(‘这些发现可以为以人为中心的城市的发展提供信息，根据我们的大脑与环境的相互作用进行定制。’密歇根州立大学的博士后研究员Kaur说。‘从创造绿色空间到设计交通系统，这些见解可以带来既高效又丰富的城市环境。’)”可知，Kaur认为这项研究是有意义的，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。 Meditation (冥想) has been practiced for centuries, helping individuals manage stress, improve focus, and find peace.____16____ .

Social media has undoubtedly transformed the way we interact. It provides a platform for people to stay in touch with friends and family, share moments, and even meet new people from different cultures. However, the reality is more complex than it seems. While we can see updates from hundreds of people, these interactions often lack depth. Likes and comments can’t replace heartfelt conversations and physical presence. In my opinion, social media can connect us on a superficial level, but it doesn’t necessarily bring us closer emotionally. It’s essential to balance online interactions with real-life connections to truly maintain meaningful relationships. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Does Social Media Connect Us?”为题写一篇短文向校英文报投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 复杂：complex→complicated 真诚：heartfelt→sincere 保持联系：stay in touch with→keep in touch with 重要：essential→vital 2.句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：Social media has undoubtedly transformed the way we interact.

My mother always emphasized that books were precious and should remain clean and free from marks, as a sign of respect. For most of my life, I believed books were meant to be admired, not touched. It wasn’t until my second year of high school that I first experienced the true power of a book. It happened at the school library, where I discovered a novel — an inviting mystery that pulled me in from the first page. I was completely overwhelmed, drawn into the world the author had created. But before I could finish it, I had to leave for home, leaving the story hanging in the middle. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I had to know how it ended. When I got home, I searched through the shelves of our family library, and to my delight, I found the exact same book. My heart raced with excitement as I pulled it off the shelf, eager to dive back into the story. But as I began reading, something strange happened. I felt the urge to interact with the book in a way I never had before. I started to underline passages that spoke to me, write down notes in the margins (页边空白), and fold the corners of pages that I wanted to revisit. I couldn’t help myself. The story was so engaging that I wanted to leave my mark on it, to make it my own. But just as I was getting lost in the story, I heard the door open behind me. It was my mother. Her eyes fell on the book in my hands, and I immediately felt a wave of guilt. She had always been so strict about the rules surrounding books — never to write in them, never to bend a page. She looked at me with a mixture of shock and disappointment. “What have you done to this book?” she asked, her voice sharp. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I found myself speaking before I could stop myself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, Mom agreed to allow me to read books in my own way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I found myself speaking before I could stop myself. “Mom, I know I’ve broken the rules, but this book is different. It’s not just something to look at or admire from a distance. Writing in the margins, underlining the parts that move me, folding the corners — these are the ways I connect with the story. A book is meant to be a living thing, something that reflects the journey of the reader, not just something kept perfect on a shelf.” I paused, hoping my words would make sense. “Books are meant to be experienced, Mom, not preserved like museum pieces. I want to be fully immersed in this one.” To my surprise, Mom agreed to allow me to read books in my own way. “I see what you mean. Perhaps the true value of a book lies in how it’s read, how it lives with the reader,” Mom admitted. From that day on, the library, once a place for untouchable books, became a space where we could interact freely with the stories. I was no longer afraid to underline, make notes, or fold the corners of pages. My relationship with books transformed into one of true engagement, where they were no longer just objects to be looked at but companions to be cherished and explored. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的家中总是把书籍保护得很好，但作者相信书籍是用来欣赏的，而不是用来触摸的。直到某天作者阅读了书架上的书，发现故事很吸引人。最后被妈妈发现作者破坏了家里的规矩，没有责备作者，而是让作者用自己的方式读书。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我不由自主地说了出来”可知，第一段可描写作者论述自己对看书的看法。 ②由第二段首句内容“令我吃惊的是，妈妈同意让我用自己的方式读书”可知，第二段可描写母亲同意作者阅读书籍以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：被发现阅读——说出想法——母亲同意——作者吃惊——母亲感悟——作者阅读——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打动：move/touch ②保存：preserve/store ③珍惜：cherish/value 情绪类 ①投入：be fully immersed in/be devoted to ②害怕：afraid/scared 【点睛】[高分句型1] A book is meant to be a living thing, something that reflects the journey of the reader, not just something kept perfect on a shelf.（由that引导定语从句） [高分句型2] My relationship with books transformed into one of true engagement, where they were no longer just objects to be looked at but companions to be cherished and explored.（由where引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 高三英语考试 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

He has a deep passion for capturing the history and people of his hometown, Great Horton. His latest project is a photography exhibition aimed at sharing the rich history of the area and honoring the hardworking people who helped shape it. The exhibition, launched at the Khidmat Centre, features photos and interviews with local residents who played a key role in the development of the community. It includes stories from people who worked in the mills (磨坊), those who turned small homes into successful restaurants, and individuals who understood the needs of the growing, diverse communities in the 1960s Bradford. Through these images and stories, Georgi hopes to help people rediscover memories that may have been forgotten. His collection highlights local landmarks, such as Bradford Park Avenue, and the first restaurants that introduced Pakistani cuisine to the city. Georgi sees this exhibition as just the beginning of telling the story of Great Horton. He plans to show the exhibition to schoolchildren to help them learn about their local history. “We have beautiful old buildings here that are over 200 years old,” Georgi said. “I want to bring back memories of the Asian community that moved here in the 1960s and worked hard to build a future.” As Bradford’s City of Culture year approaches, Georgi hopes more people will appreciate the district’s history by looking beyond its present-day appearance. He fondly remembers playing sports at Bradford Park Avenue and the impact of local businesses like Bombay Stores and Mumtaz. “We’ve got almost everything. Great Horton was very famous for textiles (纺织业). It’s got a very rich history behind it,” he added. Georgi’s exhibition, “Back to the Future”, was created with the help of his daughter, Henna Majid, who is now following in her father’s footsteps as a photographer. 4. What can we know about Georgi? A. He is focused on history. B. He prefers a traditional wedding. C. He is an experienced photographer. D. He has a great passion for architecture. 5. Why was Georgi’s exhibition held? A. To honour the community workers. B. To bring Great Horton’s history to life. C. To show his achievements in photography. D. To get a clear picture of touching stories about Great Horton. 6. What does Georgi expect the local communities to do? A. Value the city’s past. B. Continue the textiles industry. C. Prioritize the development of local bushiness. D. Promote local historic attractions. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a photo exhibition. B. To raise funds for schoolchildren in Bradford. C. To make a review on his hometown. D. To convey his appreciation to Georgi’s daughter. C In the coldest, most isolated place on Earth, a group of scientists in the icy winds are studying tiny worms (蠕虫) that live in freezing waters. In thick, red equipment that contrasts with the blue and white landscape, researchers sample worms from the cold waters of the Southern Ocean circling Antarctica. They will bring these creatures back to their labs to study how the creatures manage to survive in sub-zero temperatures without any protective equipment. While researchers have identified that some Antarctic marine animals make antifreeze proteins to adapt to the extreme cold, similar mechanisms in invertebrates (无脊椎动物) remained poorly understood. Marine ecologist Cinzia Corinaldesi and her team discovered that the worms’ survival might depend on bacteria (细菌) living inside their bodies. These bacteria, part of the worms’ microbiome (微生物组), produce proteins that protect them from freezing. This surprising finding offers new ideas about how animals adapt to tough environments. The team collected worms from the Southern Ocean and analyzed their microbiomes. They found that two types of bacteria, Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus, were common in the worms but not in other worm species, which indicates that the worms did not recently acquire these bacteria from their environment. These bacteria are usually found in warm places like hot springs, which makes their presence in the cold Antarctic unusual. The researchers studied the relationship between the worms and their bacteria. They discovered that the worms and their microbiomes have developed together over time forming a close partnership. This suggests that the bacteria have been helping the worms survive extreme conditions for many generations. To investigate how the worms benefit from their microbial inhabitants in these cold climates, Corinaldesi and the team analyzed the genomes of Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus bacteria. They found genes encoding or related to cold-shock proteins and other compounds like spermidine. While these findings are exciting, additional experiments are required to prove that the worms depend on the microbiome for cold adaptation. “This is just a little piece of the puzzle,” said Corinaldesi. “We need to continue with the work to expand information.” 8. Why do the scientists collect samples of worms in Antarctica? A. They hope to confirm their assumption about climate change. B. They try to reveal the worms’ possible impact on Antarctica. C. They want to figure out the worms’ abilities to survive freezing waters. D. They plan to protect endangered invertebrates in the Southern Ocean. 9. What did the researchers find about the worms and their bacteria? A. They are interdependent. B. They are new to Antarctica. C. They tend to favour warm places. D. They recently formed a close relationship. 10. What does Corinaldesi suggest regarding the study? A. Involving more scientists. B. Consulting professional advice. C. Conducting in-depth research. D. Releasing the experiment data immediately. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Which Is a Practical Way to Sample Worms B. How Wildlife in Antarctica Live in Peace C. Why We Know Little About Invertebrates D. How Worms Brave the Antarctic Cold D Dar Meshi, an associate professor at Michigan State University (MSU), led a study with collaborators from the University of Lisbon in Portugal. Together, they found that the brain’s reward system can shape human behavior within urban environments and aid in designing cities that promote sustainable living. Because urban areas typically offer better access to educational and employment opportunities, advanced health care facilities and diverse cultural and recreational activities, they can contribute to a higher standard of living. However, the swift pace of urbanization also gives rise to challenges such as lack of green spaces, increased traffic noise, and social inequalities, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban development strategies that prioritize health, safety and happiness for residents. To better understand how to create effective urban planning structures, Meshi used principles from the emerging field of neurourbanism. Neurourbanism primarily involves analyzing how the brain is swayed by environment. It employs tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify active regions and levels of the brain in different environments. The study involved 177US participants SV who had never visited Lisbon, Portugal. Researchers focused on the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) (腹内侧前额叶皮层), a key brain area involved in valuation and decision-making. According to Meshi, the results of the study imply that the vmPFC may be involved in processing a range of value judgments within urban environments, including perceptual, cognitive (认知的), social and cultural values. “Individuals may be drawn to visit urban spaces not only because of their aesthetic (审美的) appeal, but also due to their sociocultural relevance,” he said. “This could include places with historical significance or social importance, which may not necessarily be aesthetically pleasing, but still hold considerable value.” “The findings can inform the development of human-centric cities, tailored to how our brains interact with the environment,” Kaur, a postdoctoral researcher in the MSU, said. “From creating green spaces to designing transport systems, such insights can lead to urban environments that are both efficient and enriching.” 12. What makes it necessary to develop sustainable urban development strategies? A. Low development of cities. B. Repetitive cultural activities. C. Some problems brought about by urbanization. D. Advanced health care practice. 13. What does the underlined word “swayed” mean in paragraph 3? A. Confirmed. B. Influenced. C. Designed. D. Imagined. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about concerning the vmPFC? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its unknown features. C. Its memory functions. D. Its diverse worth estimates. 15. What does Kaur think of the findings of the study? A. They are overestimated. B. They are comprehensive. C. They are contradictory. D. They are instructive. 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。 Meditation (冥想) has been practiced for centuries, helping individuals manage stress, improve focus, and find peace.____16____ .

My mother always emphasized that books were precious and should remain clean and free from marks, as a sign of respect. For most of my life, I believed books were meant to be admired, not touched. It wasn’t until my second year of high school that I first experienced the true power of a book. It happened at the school library, where I discovered a novel — an inviting mystery that pulled me in from the first page. I was completely overwhelmed, drawn into the world the author had created. But before I could finish it, I had to leave for home, leaving the story hanging in the middle. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I had to know how it ended. When I got home, I searched through the shelves of our family library, and to my delight, I found the exact same book. My heart raced with excitement as I pulled it off the shelf, eager to dive back into the story. But as I began reading, something strange happened. I felt the urge to interact with the book in a way I never had before. I started to underline passages that spoke to me, write down notes in the margins (页边空白), and fold the corners of pages that I wanted to revisit. I couldn’t help myself. The story was so engaging that I wanted to leave my mark on it, to make it my own. But just as I was getting lost in the story, I heard the door open behind me. It was my mother. Her eyes fell on the book in my hands, and I immediately felt a wave of guilt. She had always been so strict about the rules surrounding books — never to write in them, never to bend a page. She looked at me with a mixture of shock and disappointment. “What have you done to this book?” she asked, her voice sharp. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I found myself speaking before I could stop myself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, Mom agreed to allow me to read books in my own way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
