The estimated expense is around $5,000.(增加功能费用：建议你确保你有必要的资金来支付你在澳大利亚的生活费用。估计费用在5000美元左右)”可知，本科生这次旅行至少要花大约23000-10000+5000=18000美元。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据APPLICATION部分“Seats are limited for this programm, so please note that students in need of academic credits to complete their courses ahead of time may be given priority.(这个项目的名额有限，所以请注意，需要学分提前完成课程的学生可能会优先考虑)”可知，想要提前拿到学分毕业的学生能优先拿到资格。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据THROUGH THIS STUDY TOUR, STUDENTS CAN:部分“Enhance their global perspectives (视野) through the experience in an Australia education settings(通过在澳大利亚教育环境中的经历，增强他们的全球视野)”；“Develop cultural responsiveness in teaching through engagement with a variety of student populations in overseas primary and secondary schools and universities(通过与海外中小学和大学的各种学生群体接触，培养教学中的文化响应能力)”和“Cultivate professional development by learning and sharing strategies with Australian peers(通过与澳大利亚同行学习和分享策略，培养专业发展)”可知，这次游学的主要目的是提高学生的各项能力。故选B。 B Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.” Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September. “Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins. Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.” When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another! Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old. Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.” 4. What does the author think of writing to a pen pal? A. It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B. It has been widely adopted by schools. C. It is an entirely new connecting way. D. It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition. 5. Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals? A. To teach them about other cultures. B. To pair them with international pen pals. C. To help them bridge the generation gap. D. To get them involved in community connections. 6. What do we know about Daylon McCarty from the text? A. She lives on the beach now. B. She is energetic and curious. C. She has retired and enjoys teaching. D. She has never had a pen pal before. 7. What is Jennifer Norton’s attitude towards the pen pal program? A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciated. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述PCES 的老师向学生介绍了一项旧传统，并在这个过程中为其添加了新的含义，将学生与 Hermitage Richmond Senior Living 的居民配对，学生和他们的老年朋友通过信件交流。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.”(几十年前，找笔友并给笔友写信是一件很平常的事情，这是一种令人兴奋的结交不同地区朋友的方式。随着时间的推移，我们的世界变得“更小”，这种做法变得不必要和不酷。通过社交媒体平台与世界各地的人们交流是如此容易。然而，正如彼得·艾伦1974年的歌曲提醒我们的那样，“一切旧的都是新的。”)”可知，作者认为这是一种古老而又焕发新生的做法。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September.(弗吉尼亚州梅肯尼克斯特城的PCES的教师们向学生们介绍了一项古老的传统，并在此过程中赋予了新的意义。PCES的工作人员将学生与Hermitage Richmond Senior Living的居民们结对，自九月以来，学生们和他们的老年朋友们一直通过书信交流)”及第三段““Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins.( PCES总裁Kamryn Cummins说：“社区联系和互相照顾就像我们呼吸的空气一样重要，所以它有很多作用。”)”可知，PCES 向学生介绍拥有笔友的传统是为了帮助他们参与社区联系。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.(Daylon比她的笔友大70岁，以前是一名幼儿园老师。她表达了对这个项目的兴奋之情，她说：“我曾经在幼儿园教过书。所以我喜欢看他们写字。它只是帮助他们建立他们的写作技巧。他们问了我一些问题，我问他们在做什么。”)”可知，Daylon退休了，喜欢教书。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.”(Hermitage的生活方式和健康主管詹妮弗·诺顿说:“自去年9月以来，他们一直在互相写信。现在他们可以见面了。这是一次特别而宝贵的经历。”)”可知，Jennifer Norton 对笔友项目持赞赏态度。故选D。 C A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does. The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads. It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth. The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly. 8. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from. C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of. 9. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced? A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants. C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland. 10. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens? A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS. C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型园艺设计方法——矩阵种植。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作)”可知，矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作；结合常识和划线词所在句“Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(Eschewing化肥和电动工具，它基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”中“to garden more like nature does”可推知，要像大自然那样进行园艺种植，让大自然自身承接更多的工作，就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以划线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”，与“Keeping away from.”同义。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.(这个概念诞生于二战后，当时德国城市规划者试图以一种可复制且需要最少维护的方式种植大片公园绿地)”可知，引入矩阵种植的想法是为了开发低维护成本的公园绿地。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four season interest and serving the needs of wildlife.(荷兰植物学家兼设计师Piet Oudolf的花园推广了这种风格，在种植组合中增添了艺术气息，同时玩转色彩和形态，四季都有看点，还满足了野生动物的需求)”可知，Piet Oudolf的花园有艺术气息，很有品味。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作。它避开化肥和电动工具，基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”和最后一段中“With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.(随着人类投入的大幅减少，花园的生态系统可以良好发展。成熟的矩阵花园不需要我们给予大多数花园的维持手段：化肥、分株、定期浇水。与传统花园地块相比，它们增加了碳吸收，减少了雨水径流，并显著改善了栖息地和生物多样性)”可知，文章主要介绍了矩阵种植这种新型园艺设计方法，它让花园更接近自然、野生的状态，未来园艺可能会朝着这种更自然、野生的方向发展。故A项“The future of gardening is WILD(园艺的未来是自然的)”能概括文章主旨，适合做文章标题。故选A项。 D At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”现象及其影响，并强调努力的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. (在顶尖大学中，有一种被称为“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的现象。就像鸭子一样，学生们表面上看起来行动优雅。然而，在水面之下，他们正拼命划水以跟上节奏。)”和第二段中“Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. (斯坦福大学健康服务的专家揭示了这一令人担忧的趋势：白天，许多斯坦福学生被看到在咖啡馆里社交，似乎没有任何压力或学习的需求。然而，到了晚上，他们开始学习，有时甚至通宵达旦，试图维持那种毫不费力的成功形象。)”可知，“斯坦福鸭子综合征”描述的是学生们表面上看起来轻松优雅，实际上却在背后拼命努力，以维持自己轻松成功的形象。即隐藏努力工作以显得天生聪明。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. (随着任务难度的增加，大脑活动明显增加，特别是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域。)”和第四段中“The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. (这项研究表明，随着任务需要更多的努力，大脑更多的区域会变得活跃。)”可知，实验通过展示任务难度增加时，大脑活动特别是与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域活动明显增加，来挑战“天才轻松成功，努力者能力不足”的误解，证明了努力会激发大脑活动。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. (这付出了高昂的代价：疲惫和焦虑普遍存在。此外，这还导致了一个常见的误解：真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而那些努力的人则能力较差。)”可知，作者对“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的主要担忧是它导致学生产生对成功的错误观念，即认为真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而努力工作的人则能力较差。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. (成长不仅仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力。我们的大脑就像肌肉一样。如果不努力，即使我们天生的才能也会随着时间的推移而消退。)”和“By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. (通过鼓励一种重视努力的文化，我们可以帮助学生认识到智力不是固定的，而是可以通过努力工作得到发展的。)”可知，作者认为成长不仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力，大脑就像肌肉一样，如果不努力，即使天生的才能也会随时间消退，鼓励重视努力的文化可以帮助学生意识到智力不是固定的，而是通过努力工作成长的。因此，作者可能会同意“汗水是书写杰作的墨水”这一观点，即努力是取得成功的关键。故选B。 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连项。 Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. ___16___ However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing. We’ve all been guilty of putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting. ___17___ Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence. ___18___ As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.” ___19___ Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening your emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do. ___20___ Listening, empathizing (共情), and reflecting are strategies that many of us have developed with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error. A. People are fed up with the dull and long wait. B. It can help us understand and handle a confusing situation. C. Even, we just want to make someone we don’t like uneasy. D. A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel. E. A set of eyes turn toward you with the expectation for an answer. F. Many of us have got more emotionally intelligent as we get older. G. There is a debate on whether emotional intelligence is native or not. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了会让他人陷入困境的原因以及情商对于关系的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends.(无论是在工作中还是在一群朋友中，我们大多数人都曾在许多不同的情况下陷入困境)”以及后文“However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing.(然而，你就是没有准备好给答案，也许是因为你不知道，也许是因为你不愿意分享。这真的很尴尬)”可知，本句承接上文，继续说明陷入困境时的场景。故E选项“一双眼睛转向你，期待着你的回答”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“We’ve all been guilty of putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting.(我们都曾为自己让别人陷入困境而感到内疚，通常是出于偶然。也许我们会在小组中问朋友一个敏感的问题，或者在会议上强迫一个安静的同事分享他们的答案)”可知，本段主要分析让他人陷入困境的原因，本句为本段最后一句，是对上文原因的补充说明，故C选项“甚至，我们只是想让我们不喜欢的人感到不安”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence.(然而，无论是有意还是无意，把某人置于困境都会破坏一段关系中的信任。在一段关系中保持信任的关键是发展你的情商)”以及后文“As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.”(克劳斯最近在《今日心理学》的一篇文章中写道：“当你给别人施加压力时，别人会尽量远离你，这表明你并没有像你想象的那么敏感。”)”可知，上文指出保持信任需要发展情商，后文提到无意识给他人施压说明并没有那么敏感，即对他人的感受没能及时发觉。故D选项“其中的一个核心部分是能够感知他人的感受”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening your emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do.(人们是天生就有能力发展高水平的情商，还是后天习得的？虽然答案可能两者都有一点，但提高情商绝对是我们都能做的事情)”可知，本段主要说明了关于情商是否是天生的存在争议，故G选项“关于情商是否天生就有争议”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Listening, empathizing (共情), and reflecting are strategies that many of us have developed with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error.(倾听、移情和反思是我们许多人随着时间的推移而发展起来的增强情商的策略，无论是在专业人士的帮助下，还是通过我们自己的试错)”可知，后文提到情商可以随着时间推移而发展，即情商随着年龄增长而变得越高。故F选项“随着年龄的增长，我们中的许多人的情商都越来越高”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分语言运用（共两节,满分30分） 第一节（共15小题,每题1分,满分15分） Last summer I returned to my grandmother’s home in the quiet town where I grew up.

We had found the perfect camping spot, deep in the woods, far from the distractions of daily life. No Wi-Fi, no schedules — just our family, together. This was what camping was all about — unplugging, connecting, and makıng memories. As the fire burned down, we crawled into our tent, the kids falling asleep almost instantly. Everything was perfect. Until it wasn’t. In the middle of the night, I woke with a start, my heart pounding. Something was outside our tent. The sound was faint but persistent — soft footsteps, a shuffle here and there, followed by a pause. I nudged my husband awake. Sighing, Dan reached for the flashlight and unzipped the tent. “Oh,” he said softly. “It’s just a dog.” I scrambled out of the tent to take a look. A tan, short-haired dog stood at the edge of our campsite, pacing back and forth. His fur was dirty, and he looked underfed. “Poor thing,” I whispered. “He must be hungry.” Dan grabbed some leftover hot dogs, offering one to the dog. To our surprise, the dog backed away, his eyes darting nervously toward the trees. By now, the kids had woken up, and Tommy was beside himself with excitement. “Adoggy!” he shouted, much too loud for the quiet night. “Shh,” I warned. “We don’t want to scare him.” Sarah, our daughter, ever observant, tilted her head and said, “Something’ s wrong, Mom. Look how scared he is.” She was right. The dog seemed torn between staying and fleeing, pacing anxiously, his tail tucked. Then we heard it — a heavy rustling coming from the trees behind us. The dog froze, his head snapping toward the sound, and a low growl rumbled from his throat. His hair rose as he positioned himself between us and the forest. 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。 Time slowed as a large bear emerged from the darkness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We sat with the dog in the car, watching the bear leave. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Time slowed as a large bear emerged from the darkness. Its eyes glinted in the light, and it raised its head, sniffing the air. The air felt heavy with tension, and the kids huddled close behind me, their faces pale with fear. The dog barked sharply, and the bear turned its attention to our camp, its massive form lumbering toward us. “Car,” I whispered urgently. “Everyone to the car. Now.” We moved as one — Dan scooping up Tommy, me grabbing Sarah’s hand — as the bear moved closer. The dog stayed between us and the bear, growling low but never attacking, as if buying us time. My hands trembled as I fumbled for the car keys, finally unlocking the doors with a chirp. We scrambled into the car, the dog leaping in just as Dan slammed the door. From the safety of the SUV, we watched in horror as the bear tore through our campsite, ripping our tent apart like it was paper, devouring anything remotely edible. We sat with the dog in the car, watching the bear leave. The bear finally finished and wandered back into the woods. The campsite was unrecognizable, with the tent shredded and the cooler overturned. The dog, now quiet, sat proudly on Tommy’s lap, his eyes still fixed on the trees. “He saved us,” Sarah whispered, stroking his dirty fur. Tommy nodded, hugging the dog tightly. “We should keep him,” he said, his voice full of determination. Dan and I exchanged a look and smiled. “I think he’s already decided to stay,” I said softly. As the sun began to rise, casting a warm glow over the ruined campsite, we knew one thing for sure — our family had grown by one brave and loyal member. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和家人外出露营，晚上来了一只狗，他们给狗喂了一些吃的，结果一只大熊从树林里出来了，狗一直通过犬吠警告作者他们。作者和家人及时躲避，才避免了被熊撕碎，他们最终逃过一劫。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当一只大熊从黑暗中出现时，时间慢了下来。”可知，第一段可描写熊出现时作者和家人的反应以及如何躲避。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们和狗一起坐在车里，看着熊离开。”可知，第二段可描写熊离开以后作者的心理活动。 2.续写线索：熊出现——到车里躲避——熊破坏营地——熊离开——决定留下狗——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/catch ②颤抖：tremble/shake ③撕开：rip/tear 情绪类 ①迫切地：urgently/imminently ②紧张：tension/stress 【点睛】[高分句型1] My hands trembled as I fumbled for the car keys, finally unlocking the doors with a chirp.

B Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.” Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September. “Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins. Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.” When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another! Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old. Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.” 4. What does the author think of writing to a pen pal? A. It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B. It has been widely adopted by schools. C. It is an entirely new connecting way. D. It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition. 5. Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals? A. To teach them about other cultures. B. To pair them with international pen pals. C. To help them bridge the generation gap. D. To get them involved in community connections. 6. What do we know about Daylon McCarty from the text? A. She lives on the beach now. B. She is energetic and curious. C. She has retired and enjoys teaching. D. She has never had a pen pal before. 7. What is Jennifer Norton’s attitude towards the pen pal program? A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciated. C A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does. The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads. It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth. The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly. 8. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from. C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of. 9. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced? A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants. C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland. 10. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens? A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS. C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS. D At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. 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连项。 Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. ___16___ However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share.

We had found the perfect camping spot, deep in the woods, far from the distractions of daily life. No Wi-Fi, no schedules — just our family, together. This was what camping was all about — unplugging, connecting, and makıng memories. As the fire burned down, we crawled into our tent, the kids falling asleep almost instantly. Everything was perfect. Until it wasn’t. In the middle of the night, I woke with a start, my heart pounding. Something was outside our tent. The sound was faint but persistent — soft footsteps, a shuffle here and there, followed by a pause. I nudged my husband awake. Sighing, Dan reached for the flashlight and unzipped the tent. “Oh,” he said softly. “It’s just a dog.” I scrambled out of the tent to take a look. A tan, short-haired dog stood at the edge of our campsite, pacing back and forth. His fur was dirty, and he looked underfed. “Poor thing,” I whispered. “He must be hungry.” Dan grabbed some leftover hot dogs, offering one to the dog. To our surprise, the dog backed away, his eyes darting nervously toward the trees. By now, the kids had woken up, and Tommy was beside himself with excitement. “Adoggy!” he shouted, much too loud for the quiet night. “Shh,” I warned. “We don’t want to scare him.” Sarah, our daughter, ever observant, tilted her head and said, “Something’ s wrong, Mom. Look how scared he is.” She was right. The dog seemed torn between staying and fleeing, pacing anxiously, his tail tucked. Then we heard it — a heavy rustling coming from the trees behind us. The dog froze, his head snapping toward the sound, and a low growl rumbled from his throat. His hair rose as he positioned himself between us and the forest. 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。 Time slowed as a large bear emerged from the darkness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We sat with the dog in the car, watching the bear leave. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
