Which city is more likely to focus on building enough houses? A. Dubai. B. Tokyo. C. London. 19. What can help to solve the “last-mile” problem? A. Self-drive taxis. B. Private cars. C. Shared bikes. 20. What is essential to the citizens’ life quality? A. Population structure. B. Public transportation. C. Social facilities. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【原文】When we talk about urban planning, we must consider multiple factors. One aspect is the population. Understanding the population size, structure and growth trends is crucial. For example, a city with a rapidly increasing population, such as Dubai, needs to plan for sufficient housing and schools. In contrast, an aging population like in Tokyo calls for more nursing homes, senior friendly public spaces and accessible health care services. Another important factor in urban planning is sustainable transportation. In many modern cities like London, the over reliance on private cars has LED to traffic jams and environmental pollution. To deal with this, more and more cities are investing in public transportation systems. However, simply building more public transportation isn't enough. We also need to improve the last mile problem. This refers to the difficulty of getting from the public transportation stop to the final destination. Solutions like bike sharing programs and electric bike rentals are emerging to address this issue. Additionally, social facilities such as schools and public spaces are essential to enhance the quality of life for residents and contribute to the overall well being of the community. In conclusion, urban planning is a complex process that requires a comprehensive consideration of population, transportation, economic, environmental and social factors. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A We, New York City Department of Sanitation, offer FREE weekly roadside collection service, making it easy for you to deal with your trash (垃圾) and keep our city clean.

With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible. Annie and her husband, Greg, both doctors, began preparing for a home birth. Greg rushed to gather supplies — scissors, sewing needles — while his mother boiled water to sterilize (消毒) them. “I’m really starting to get scared now,” Annie told Greg as the reality set in. A neighbor, checking on the Smiths, sent an email to their apartment complex’s message board asking for help. Within 30 minutes, at least 15 people showed up, including medical trainees from the complex. Meanwhile, the couple had been continuously dialing 911 but never got an answer. Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation. Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close. The Smiths’ neighbors and firefighters formed a human chain to help Annie Smith to the back of the flatbed truck. “I held onto them one person at a time,” she said, moving on her hands and knees along their arms until she reached the ladder safely. She sat on a blanket in the truck, a shower curtain over her head, as they drove through the flood. The Smiths arrived at Texas Children’s Hospital about 15 minutes later. An hour later, their daughter Adrielle was born, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said. 24. Why did the Smiths at first prepare for a home birth? A. The hospital was inaccessible. B. Drivers were hard to reach. C. They were suggested by doctors. D. The emergency services were off duty. 25. Who played a crucial role in calling the rescue truck? A. A neighbour. B. Greg’s mother. C. A medical trainee. D. The director’s father. 26. What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Scary. B. Awesome. C. Average. D. Normal. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To record an unforgettable disaster. B. To remember the respected firemen. C. To praise the love within the community. D. To raise funds for Annie’s fellowship program. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对医生夫妇在飓风洪水中，因医院无法到达而准备在家分娩，最终在邻居和消防员的帮助下成功获救并诞下女儿的感人故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible.(由于道路被水淹没，前往医院两英里的路程无法实现)”可知，由于道路被水淹没，医院无法到达，所以史密斯一家最初准备在家分娩。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation.(最终，给安妮的研究生项目主任打电话促成了行动。这位主任的父亲住在消防站附近，他步行到那里解释了情况)”可知，这位主任的父亲住在消防站附近，他步行到那里解释了情况。由此可知，这位主任的父亲在联系救援卡车的过程中起到了关键作用。故选D项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close.(中午时分，一辆救援卡车到达。然而，洪水已经涨到了一个formidable程度，车辆无法靠近)”可知，划线单词后的同位语从句对level进行解释，洪水到了车辆无法靠近的程度，由此可知，洪水水位高得吓人，阻碍了车辆靠近，所以划线单词的意思与scary“可怕的”意义相近。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文内容，尤其是最后一段中“The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said. (这对夫妇虽然筋疲力尽，但感到如释重负，他们非常感激前来帮助他们的邻居和消防员。安妮说：“令人难以置信的是，有那么多人响应并冒着大雨来帮助我们。”)”可知，这对夫妇非常感激前来帮助他们的邻居和消防员。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是赞美社区内的互助与爱心。故选C项。 C What if everything happens for a reason? It’s a theory that we’ve all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason. We’ve all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back by what, maybe three to five minutes? Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you’d really rather avoid. In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn’t really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you’re grateful for the inconvenience. While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile. 28. What may be a case of the burnt toast theory? A. Gaining rewards after paying efforts. B. Losing a job after forgetting to set an alarm. C. Meeting a future employer after missing a flight. D. Mending friendship after clearing misunderstandings. 29. What is the result of applying the burnt toast theory according to paragraph 3? A. Better judgement on fears. B. Richer experience from failures. C. The removal of daily inconveniences. D. The harvest of a positive mindset. 30. Which aspect of the theory does the last paragraph focus on? A. Would-be projects. B. Real-world applications. C. Potential weaknesses. D. Practical advantages. 31. What is probably the best title of the text? A. Less Is More B. Make a Lemon Lemonade C. Once Bitten, Twice Shy D. Better Late Than Never 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是“烧焦的面包理论”，即通过积极视角看待生活中的不便，将其视为有意义的转折点，同时也探讨了该理论的潜在局限性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.(而且在许多方面，烧焦面包理论可以被视为这一经典思想的现代诠释，暗示着我们在日常生活中经历的每一个小不便都出于更大的原因)”可知，烧焦面包理论暗示着我们在日常生活中经历的每一个小不便都出于更大的原因，结合第二段中的“Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you’d really rather avoid.(也许这足够让你比平时晚一点出门，从而避免了一场车祸。或者这意味着你赶上了稍晚的火车，避开了一个你宁愿避开的人)”可知，错过航班后遇到未来雇主是符合该理论的案例。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. (换句话说，烧焦面包理论提醒我们要转变思维方式。当我们选择以更积极的态度看待世界时，我们可以帮助减轻焦虑感，并释放对周围世界失控的恐惧)”可知，烧焦面包理论提醒我们要转变思维方式，用更积极的态度看世界。由此可知，应用该理论的结果是收获积极心态。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.(虽然保持积极的心态可以走得很远，但烧焦面包理论并非没有缺点。要注意，只允许自己专注于积极的想法可能意味着你正在剥夺自己正确面对挑战或困难情绪的机会，而是专注于创造一个虚假的积极形象)”可知，烧焦面包理论并非没有缺点，进而分析了其危害，由此可知，最后一段聚焦于该理论的潜在弱点。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文内容，尤其是首段“What if everything happens for a reason? It’s a theory that we’ve all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.(如果每件事的发生都有其原因呢？这是一个我们都不止一次听过的理论。在许多方面，“烧焦面包理论”可以被视为这一经典思想的现代诠释，暗示我们在日常生活中遇到的每一个小麻烦都可能是出于某种更大的原因)”可知，全文围绕“烧焦的面包理论”展开，强调通过积极视角看待生活中的不便，将挑战转化为机遇，同时指出其潜在的局限性。选项B“化挫折为机遇”与这一主题意义相符，最适合作为标题。故选B项。 D James Hansen, the climate scientist best known for warning the US Congress about global warming in the 1980s, has strengthened his message that we are underestimating the climate impact of declining air pollution. “Reducing air pollution is essential for health and environment, but we have to understand its complex relationship with climate change when we used aerosols (气溶胶) to cancel out almost half of greenhouse gas warming,” said Hansen at a United Nations Sustainable Development Network briefing. Record rises in global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 have led to debate about whether global warming is accelerating faster than expected. Hansen and colleagues previously linked this acceleration with reduced air pollution. Now they offer a new analysis suggesting declining air pollution can explain recent temperature increases. Aerosols in air pollution reflect sunlight away from Earth and affect cloud properties. A 2020 shipping regulation controlling sulphur (硫磺) emissions provided critical evidence: in Pacific shipping routes, reduced aerosols allowed 0.5 watts of additional heat per square meter to reach Earth, equal to a decade’s worth of current CO2 emissions. This suggests aerosols previously masked up to half of greenhouse warming. Hansen warns such findings imply climate sensitivity is far higher than estimated, and argues the world is more rapidly approaching climate tipping points. However, many scientists have mixed views. Michael Diamond at Florida State University notes Hansen’s 0.5-watt estimate is “at the extreme edge of plausibility (合理性),” while NASA’s Gavin Schmidt argues the number is “very likely an overestimate”. A change in aerosols may not even be necessary to explain the temperature rise, says Shiv Priyam Raghuraman at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign — he previously found it can be explained by changes in Pacific Oceam temperatures alone. He says more work is needed to understand the warming effects of aerosols before we put the blame on reduced air pollution. “At least, reducing air pollution remains vital nowadays.” 32. What’s Hansen’s warning about? A. The misconception of greenhouse gases. B. The influence of air pollution reduction. C. The necessity of declining air pollution. D. The results of continuing global warming. 33. Why does the author mention the 2020 shipping regulation? A. To urge the government to reduce air pollution. B. To stress aerosols’ impact on greenhouse warming. C. To explain the change of present climate. D. To praise the regulations on sulphur emissions. 34. What is Michael Diamond’s attitude towards Hansen’s 0.5-watt estimate? A. Supportive. B. Indistinct. C. Respectful D. Doubtful. 35. What can be inferred about the temperature rise from the last paragraph? A. Further research is demanded. B. Aerosols are the decisive factor. C. Previous studies are ineffective. D. Pacific Ocean temperatures count most. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是气候学家詹姆斯·汉森关于减少空气污染对气候影响的警告，并探讨了气溶胶与全球变暖之间的复杂关系及其科学争议。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Reducing air pollution is essential for health and environment, but we have to understand its complex relationship with climate change when we used aerosols (气溶胶) to cancel out almost half of greenhouse gas warming,” said Hansen at a United Nations Sustainable Development Network briefing.(汉森在联合国可持续发展网络简报会上表示：“减少空气污染对健康和环境至关重要，但当我们利用气溶胶抵消了近一半的温室气体变暖时，我们必须理解其与气候变化之间的复杂关系。”)”可知，汉森指出，减少空气污染对健康和环境至关重要，由此可知，汉森的警告主要集中在减少空气污染对气候的影响。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“A 2020 shipping regulation controlling sulphur (硫磺) emissions provided critical evidence: in Pacific shipping routes, reduced aerosols allowed 0.5 watts of additional heat per square meter to reach Earth, equal to a decade’s worth of current CO2 emissions.(2020年限制硫排放的航运法规提供了关键证据：在太平洋航线上，气溶胶的减少使每平方米地球表面额外吸收了0.5瓦热量，相当于当前十年的二氧化碳排放量。)”可知，气溶胶的减少使每平方米地球表面额外吸收了0.5瓦热量，由此可知，作者提到2020年的航运法规是为了强调气溶胶对温室效应的影响。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Michael Diamond at Florida State University notes Hansen’s 0.5-watt estimate is “at the extreme edge of plausibility (合理性),” while NASA’s Gavin Schmidt argues the number is “very likely an overestimate”.(佛罗里达州立大学的迈克尔·戴蒙德指出，汉森提出的0.5瓦估计值“处于合理性的极端边缘”，而美国宇航局的加文·施密特则认为这个数字“极有可能被高估了”。)”可知，迈克尔·戴蒙德指出，汉森提出的0.5瓦估计值“处于合理性的极端边缘”，由此可推断，迈克尔·戴蒙德对汉森的估计持怀疑态度。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He says more work is needed to understand the warming effects of aerosols before we put the blame on reduced air pollution.(他说，在我们将责任归咎于空气污染减少之前，还需要更多工作来理解气溶胶的增温效应。)”可知，Shiv Priyam Raghuraman认为，还需要更多工作来理解气溶胶的增温效应，由此可知，关于气温上升的原因仍需进一步研究。故选A项。 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。 Rock climbing has recently grown rapidly, with nearly 1,500 people trying it for the first time each day.

(然而，实际上没有人会评判你的技能水平。)”与上文的内容为转折关系，且引出下文讲述的人们关注的焦点，缓解了初学者的担忧。故选F项。 【39题详解】 根据上文的“Moreover, climbing is not simply a physical sport. (此外，攀岩不仅仅是一项体力运动。)”可知，攀岩不仅是一项体力运动，暗示还有其他方面的训练，A选项“There’s a lot of mental training as well. (它还包括大量的心理训练。)”表明，攀岩还需要心理训练，承接上文。故选A项。 【40题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，结合下文的“Your gym is full of supportive members who will cheer you on and help you to succeed. It is so easy to make friends in a climbing gym with individuals sharing the same interest. (你的健身房里充满了支持你的成员，他们会为你加油并帮助你成功。在攀岩馆里与有共同兴趣的人交朋友是如此容易。)”可知，攀岩健身房里充满支持的成员，大家像一个大家庭一样团结，由此可知，本段讲述的是攀岩可以把有共同爱好的人联系在一起，E选项“The cool thing about climbing is that it’s more of a community. (关于攀岩最酷的事情是它更像是一个社区。)”提到了攀岩更像一个社区，点明主题，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 While her classmates played sports, Meenah Sukasem, 12, spent her time building a business.

The three-floor structure ____56____ (build) in the 1920s as a residence by two well-known masters in painting, at 412 Weihai Road. After eight years of repair, it has been restored to ____57____ it originally looked like a century ago.

It also represents modern cities like Shanghai and their _____65_____ (open) and inclusiveness. 【答案】56. was built 57. what 58. Featuring 59. a 60. its 61. to find 62. conventional 63. named 64. to 65. openness 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一座位于上海静安区的98年历史建筑——“查公馆”（Cha House）经过修复后重新对公众开放的故事。这座建筑是中西文化融合的典范，其独特的建筑风格和修复过程体现了上海这座现代化城市的历史底蕴与包容性。 【56题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：这座三层建筑建于20世纪20年代，是两位著名画家的住所。句子主语是“the three-floor structure”，与“build”之间是被动关系，且根据“in the 1920s”可知，句子应使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。 【57题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：经过八年修复，它已经恢复到了它最初的样子。空格处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作“looked like”的宾语，表示“……的样子”，因此应填“what”。故填what。 【58题详解】 考查现在分词作状语。句意：有两个带尖顶的塔楼，它看起来像南边的欧洲城堡。句子主语是“it”，与“feature”之间是主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语。首字母大写。故填Featuring。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意同上。“European castle”是可数名词单数形式，根据句意表示泛指，European以元音音素开头，因此需要在前面加不定冠词“a”。故填a。 【60题详解】 考查代词。句意：“我们设法获得了原始图纸、家具和物品来恢复它的旧貌。”空格处需要一个形容词性物主代词，修饰“old look”，根据上下文可知，这里指代的是“Cha House”的旧貌，因此应填形容词性物主代词“its”。故填its。 【61题详解】 考查不定式作宾语。句意：“幸运的是，我们努力找到了类似的材料，并使用各种传统技能来修复门窗。”“take efforts to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“努力去做某事”，因此空格处应填“to find”。故填to find。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们努力找到了类似的材料，并使用各种传统技能来修复门窗。空格处需要一个形容词修饰“skills”，表示“传统的”，因此应填“conventional”。故填conventional。 【63题详解】 考查过去分词作定语。句意：最近，这座房子以它的创始人查济民的名字命名为“查公馆”。“name”与“Cha House”之间是被动关系，因此使用过去分词作定语。故填named。 【64题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：对我们来说，Cha House是文化融合的象征，不仅仅是吸引那些欣赏建筑的人。“appeal to sb.”是固定搭配，意为“对某人有吸引力”，因此空格处应填“to”。故填to。 【65题详解】 考查名词。句意：它还代表了像上海这样的现代城市及其开放性和包容性。空格处需要一个名词，与“inclusiveness”并列，表示“开放性”，因此应填“openness”作宾语。故填openness。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 你校英文报在举办征文比赛。请你根据下面的漫画，以“Memories”为题，写一篇短文进行投稿。内容包括： 1．漫画内容；2．你的看法。 注意： 1．词数80左右；2．短文的题目已给出。 参考词汇：羊驼llama ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Memories In this touching comic, a llama holds a small pile of sad memories and asks her brain to erase them.

Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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。 Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. The blue paint shelf stood empty. “Mr. Thompson just restocked other colors yesterday,” Alex pointed to vibrant jars of purple and green. A sudden idea struck Mark. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s lesson about color blending — blue could be created by mixing green and purple! With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. Alex grinned, “You did it!” New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination. Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. Instead of traditional blue tones, his landscape shimmered with unexpected depth from the blended colors. The art teacher’s eyes widened in recognition. “Creative problem-solving deserves extra credit,” Mr. Thompson announced, placing a golden star sticker on Mark’s work. Across the room, Alex gave a thumbs-up as sunlight broke through the clouds, making the painting’s unique blues glow like real seawater. Mark touched his now paint-free shirt, understanding that mistakes could lead to brighter masterpieces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述的是Mark在为学校年度艺术展创作海景画时，因意外打翻颜料而毁掉作品，在懊恼与自责中，Mark走出画室，他的好友Alex带着Mark回美术用品室看看还有没有蓝色颜料的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一进储藏室，Mark的心就沉了下去。”可知，第一段可描写Mark看到了什么让他的心沉下去，结合下一段提示的内容可知，他们又是如何解决的没有蓝色颜料的问题并完成画作的。 ②由第二段首句内容“两天后，Mark紧张地站在展览会上自己那幅“重生”的画作旁。”可知，第二段可描写这幅重生的画作有什么不同，以及老师和同学们看到后做出什么反应和Mark对此事的感悟。 2.续写线索：储藏室没有“海洋蓝”色——想到混合颜色得到蓝色——调出“海洋蓝”色——完成画作——师生称赞画作——Mark的感悟 3.词汇激活 行类 ①突然想起：strike/hit/occur to/dawn on ②颤抖：trembling/shivering/shaking ③匆忙返回：rushed back/ hurried back/returned hurriedly 情绪类 ①笑：grin/smile broadly/beam/ chuckle happily ②惊讶：eyes widen/eyes open wide 【点睛】[高分句型1] With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. （运用了现在分词短语作状语以及省略关系代词定语从句） [高分句型2] New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届NCS模拟检测 英语 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?

With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible. Annie and her husband, Greg, both doctors, began preparing for a home birth. Greg rushed to gather supplies — scissors, sewing needles — while his mother boiled water to sterilize (消毒) them. “I’m really starting to get scared now,” Annie told Greg as the reality set in. A neighbor, checking on the Smiths, sent an email to their apartment complex’s message board asking for help. Within 30 minutes, at least 15 people showed up, including medical trainees from the complex. Meanwhile, the couple had been continuously dialing 911 but never got an answer. Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation. Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close. The Smiths’ neighbors and firefighters formed a human chain to help Annie Smith to the back of the flatbed truck. “I held onto them one person at a time,” she said, moving on her hands and knees along their arms until she reached the ladder safely. She sat on a blanket in the truck, a shower curtain over her head, as they drove through the flood. The Smiths arrived at Texas Children’s Hospital about 15 minutes later. An hour later, their daughter Adrielle was born, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said. 24. Why did the Smiths at first prepare for a home birth? A. The hospital was inaccessible. B. Drivers were hard to reach. C. They were suggested by doctors. D. The emergency services were off duty. 25. Who played a crucial role in calling the rescue truck? A. A neighbour. B. Greg’s mother. C. A medical trainee. D. The director’s father. 26. What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Scary. B. Awesome. C. Average. D. Normal. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To record an unforgettable disaster. B. To remember the respected firemen. C. To praise the love within the community. D. To raise funds for Annie’s fellowship program. C What if everything happens for a reason? It’s a theory that we’ve all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason. We’ve all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back by what, maybe three to five minutes? Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you’d really rather avoid. In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn’t really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you’re grateful for the inconvenience. While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile. 28 What may be a case of the burnt toast theory? A. Gaining rewards after paying efforts. B. Losing a job after forgetting to set an alarm. C. Meeting a future employer after missing a flight. D. Mending friendship after clearing misunderstandings. 29. What is the result of applying the burnt toast theory according to paragraph 3? A. Better judgement on fears. B. Richer experience from failures. C. The removal of daily inconveniences. D. The harvest of a positive mindset. 30. Which aspect of the theory does the last paragraph focus on? A. Would-be projects. B. Real-world applications. C. Potential weaknesses. D. Practical advantages. 31. What is probably the best title of the text? A. Less Is More B. Make a Lemon Lemonade C. Once Bitten, Twice Shy D. Better Late Than Never D James Hansen, the climate scientist best known for warning the US Congress about global warming in the 1980s, has strengthened his message that we are underestimating the climate impact of declining air pollution. “Reducing air pollution is essential for health and environment, but we have to understand its complex relationship with climate change when we used aerosols (气溶胶) to cancel out almost half of greenhouse gas warming,” said Hansen at a United Nations Sustainable Development Network briefing. Record rises in global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 have led to debate about whether global warming is accelerating faster than expected. Hansen and colleagues previously linked this acceleration with reduced air pollution. Now they offer a new analysis suggesting declining air pollution can explain recent temperature increases. Aerosols in air pollution reflect sunlight away from Earth and affect cloud properties. A 2020 shipping regulation controlling sulphur (硫磺) emissions provided critical evidence: in Pacific shipping routes reduced aerosols allowed 0.5 watts of additional heat per square meter to reach Earth, equal to a decade’s worth of current CO2 emissions. This suggests aerosols previously masked up to half of greenhouse warming. Hansen warns such findings imply climate sensitivity is far higher than estimated, and argues the world is more rapidly approaching climate tipping points. However, many scientists have mixed views. Michael Diamond at Florida State University notes Hansen’s 0.5-watt estimate is “at the extreme edge of plausibility (合理性),” while NASA’s Gavin Schmidt argues the number is “very likely an overestimate”. A change in aerosols may not even be necessary to explain the temperature rise, says Shiv Priyam Raghuraman at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign — he previously found it can be explained by changes in Pacific Oceam temperatures alone. He says more work is needed to understand the warming effects of aerosols before we put the blame on reduced air pollution. “At least, reducing air pollution remains vital nowadays.” 32. What’s Hansen’s warning about? A. The misconception of greenhouse gases. B. The influence of air pollution reduction. C. The necessity of declining air pollution. D. The results of continuing global warming. 33. Why does the author mention the 2020 shipping regulation? A. To urge the government to reduce air pollution. B. To stress aerosols’ impact on greenhouse warming. C. To explain the change of present climate. D. To praise the regulations on sulphur emissions. 34. What is Michael Diamond’s attitude towards Hansen’s 0.5-watt estimate? A. Supportive. B. Indistinct. C. Respectful D. Doubtful. 35. What can be inferred about the temperature rise from the last paragraph? A. Further research is demanded. B. Aerosols are the decisive factor. C. Previous studies are ineffective. D. Pacific Ocean temperatures count most. 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。 Rock climbing has recently grown rapidly, with nearly 1,500 people trying it for the first time each day.

Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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。 Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始，请看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如，现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。Excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?

Understanding the population size, structure and growth trends is crucial. For example, a city with a rapidly increasing population such as dubai need to plan for sufficient housing and schools. In contrast, an aging population like in tokyo calls for more nursing homes, senior friendly public spaces and accessible health care services. Another important factor in urban planning is sustainable transportation. In many modern cities like london, the overreliance on private cars has LED to traffic jam and environmental pollution. To deal with this, more and more cities are investing in public transportation systems. However, simply building more public transportation isn't enough. We also need to improve the last mile problem. This refers to the difficulty of getting from the public transportation stop to the final destination solutions like bike sharing programs and electric bike rentals are emerging to address this issue. Additionally, social facilities such as schools and public spaces are essential to enhance the quality of life for residents and contribute to the overall well being of the community.
