Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Creativity Peaks at Different Ages There are two types of creativity that can blossom at different points in a person’s life. Conceptual innovators do their best work in their mid-twenties, while experimental innovators peak in their fifties. The reason for this difference is that radical thinkers usually come up with 1 new before they are immersed in the conventions of their field. Experimenters, however, 2 take decades of trial and error and accumulate knowledge to make unusual connections, going beyond the conventions of their area. Conceptual thinkers tend to have precise goals for their works and execute them systematically. Pablo Picasso, T. S. Eliot and Albert Einstein all did their greatest work in youth. Experimental innovators, on the other hand, are ambitious but vague, which leads them 3 (take) much longer to develop. The paper cites Paul Cezanne, Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin all as late bloomers. The researchers focused on the Nobel Prize laureates in economics, applying the distinctions 4 conceptual and experimental innovations. They found that just like the artists and scientists, the conceptual innovators did their 5 (groundbreaking) work early in careers, while the experimental innovators tended to produce their best work later in life. In other words, whether your creativity peak 6 (hit) early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach. After the classification, the researchers determined the age when each made their most important contribution to economics. They determined peak creativity by the point 7 the subjects’ scientific papers had the most citations. Their analysis showed that conceptual laureates peaked between the ages of 25 and 29 while experimental laureates did best when they were about twice as old, in their mid-fifties. Lawrence Summers, former president of Harvard University, once refused to offer tenured (终身的) professorships to two 54-year-old scholars out of concern for 8 the university called the problem of “extinct volcanoes”. The new findings suggest that this kind of biased thinking 9 (lead) to bad decision. It ignores the fact that there are different types of innovators and 10 different problems demand different kinds of contributions and solutions. The researchers hope that their work will reduce the world’s favoritism for precocious geniuses and its ignorance of the creativity that comes with age. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．dampening     B．desperately     C． extensively     D．gains         E. impact     F. launched     G. revolutionary     H. sandwiched     I. securing         J. shaved     K. wear Do better shoes help you run faster? Modern competitive running entered a new era in 2016, when Nike began distributing a prototype trainer to elite runners. The new shoes were designed to look like Nike’s top publicly available model, the Zoom Streak 6, but the soles featured a(n) 11 new design. And regular runners were able to get their hands on them in 2017 when the company 12 the Zoom Vaporfly 4%, the first true super shoe. “Most super shoes follow the same pattern,” explains Jens Jakob Andersen, founder of RunRepeat, a website that “road-tests” trainers. Typically have curved soles made of a hard carbon plate 13 between layers of specially engineered springy foam. The carbon plate is often very thick — up to 40mm tall at the heel. These features make running easier. Platformed soles encourage a slightly longer stride, which means fewer steps per kilometre. And a soft base, which absorbs 14 before bouncing back up, eases the pressure on leg muscles. The results speak for themselves. Studies estimate that the high-tech trainers have 15 between one and four minutes off elite marathon times. Regular runners benefit too. In 2019 the New York Times analyzed real-world marathon data to measure the speed 16 owed to Nike’s Vaporfly. They found that runners wearing super shoes completed races 4-5% faster than those in average trainers. However, 17 this extra speed demands a substantial expenditure. Adidas’s top model, the Pro Evo 1—worn by Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa during her record-breaking Berlin marathon in 2023—cost $500. And, as the miles add up, most super shoes quickly lose grip and the foam in the sole wears out, 18 their signature springiness. So, with a big race approaching, runners may wonder about the best sneaker strategy. Mr. Andersen’s opinion, super shoes should be broken in a little: he suggests around 20-50km of pre-race use, to improve race-day performance since some foams get bouncier after a small amount of 19 . Buying a new pair of shoes for every race makes an expensive habit, but it could be worth it for those 20 chasing a personal best. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 per cent fewer insects now than in 1990．This includes those we depend on to pollinate (授粉) our crops and clean our rivers. If we don’t solve this problem very soon, some species will 21 . There are many causes for the insect decline, but pesticides (杀虫剂) are a major part of the problem. Those used today are 22 and up to 10000 times more poisonous than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as preventive measures, whether pests are 23 or not. Overall, the amount of insecticide applied to the land is 24 , but this is a very misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. 25 , the global toxicity (毒性) of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. Governments and regulating agencies are aware of the problem, and some have moved to 26 the use of certain pesticides outdoors in an attempt to help bees survive. But the pesticides used instead are just as hazardous. One 27 approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods, referred to as integrated pest management (IPM). Having been around for decades, they offer effective crop protection and include methods such as planting resistant varieties, 28 pest habitats and releasing natural enemies of pests. But their adoption has been incredibly 29 , because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easy option. As a result, IPM methods are 30 seldom used today. Neither changing insecticides nor adopting IPM is a quick 31 . We argue instead that we need a gradual 32 in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the 33 dose (剂量) we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a small portion of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. 34 , they could spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. It is also a move that could win us time to make food production more 35 and integrate farmlands well with the natural ecosystems we crucially depend on. And that will allow insects to recover in the end. 21．A．come out B．leave out C．die out D．set out 22．A．efficient B．economical C．persisting D．temporary 23．A．energetic B．healthy C．present D．current 24．A．decreasing B．increasing C．multiplying D．rising 25．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Furthermore D．However 26．A．ban B．embrace C．permit D．make 27．A．highly-recommended B．well-received C．widely-applied D．over-estimated 28．A．harvesting B．producing C．removing D．locating 29．A．slow B．rapid C．simple D．popular 30．A．willingly B．luckily C．purposefully D．unfortunately 31．A．problem B．decision C．action D．fix 32．A．progress B．improvement C．process D．shift 33．A．medium B．heavy C．minimal D．high 34．A．All in all B．First of all C．In all D．After all 35．A．efficient B．nutritious C．profitable D．sustainable Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When I look back on my childhood, one aspect stands out in my memory: my love of history. I can remember a time when history hasn’t been a part of my life, and my passion for it was aroused in my earliest days. I was only two or three years old when my mum began to read me tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and before long, they became a regular part of my bedtime routine. I was fascinated by the stories of the sword in the stone and the Holy Grail, and I was attracted by Lancelot and Guinevere. When I was four, though, I received a gift that would prove so inspirational that — without my knowledge at the time — it helped to steer the direction of my career: The Webtastic Illustrated British History Book. When my mum gave this to me, published in 1989, I doubt she thought much beyond the fact that it might open for me a gateway to something or someone other than King Arthur—and she was absolutely right. I vividly remember leafing through the pages and admiring the pictures — and then I came to one image that really captured my attention: Henry VIII and his six wives. The idea of a king who had married six times fascinated the infant me, and I used the book to memorize the classic rhyme about their fate: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Simply from viewing pictures of a king and his spouses, my love of the Tudors (都铎王朝) was born — and snowballed. That slim volume was my starting point, and soon it began to show signs of wear. I became determined to find out all I could about Henry VIII and his extraordinary family — a journey that I’m still undertaking to this day. If I hadn’t been given that book as a child, I’m certain that my career would’ve taken an entirely different direction. It was a small thing — but one that made a far-reaching impact. 36．Why did the mother give the author The Webtastic Illustrated British History Book? A．To make bedtime more enjoyable for the author. B．To encourage the author to pursue a career in history. C．To help the author understand the importance of reading. D．To introduce the author to other historical topics besides King Arthur. 37．Why does the author mention seeing the image of Henry VIII in the book? A．To describe her fascination with royal marriages. B．To show how this image excited her deep interest in history. C．To highlight how essential illustrations are in a children’s history book. D．To suggest that the image influenced her view of historical events. 38．Which piece of the following advice is the author most likely to give to parents? A．Expose children to history early on because it is important for their growth. B．Prioritize content over engaging illustrations when choosing books for children. C．Introduce children to academics to shape their future careers. D．Encourage children’s exploration of interests with resources. 39．Which of the following proverbs best reflects the main theme of the passage? A．A tiny flame can start a fire. B．You reap what you sow. C．Still waters run deep. D．The early bird catches the worm. (B) Staying Safe After a Disaster Although each type of disaster brings its own unique challenges, the steps listed here are applicable to many different situations you may face. For information on safety and recovery after specific types of disasters and emergencies, please visit https: // www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies.html. →Some natural disasters, such as severe storms or earthquakes, may recur in the form of new storms or aftershocks over the next several days. Take all safety precautions in case the disaster strikes again. For an earthquake aftershock, remember to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON just like you did during the initial earthquake. →If you had to leave your home, return only when local authorities advise that it is safe to do so. Make a careful and thorough inspection of your home: ·Sniff for gas. If you detect natural gas or hear a hissing noise, leave the property immediately and get far away from it. Call the fire department after you reach safety. ·Beware of animals, such as rodents (啮齿动物), snakes, spiders and insects, that may have entered your home. If you suspect your home, tap loudly and often on the floor with a stick to give notice that you are there. Flooding and storms can create conditions in which disease -bearing mosquitoes can breed. Remove standing water (积水) where possible. If you can’t get rid of it, use a commercial product that kills mosquito larvae (幼虫) or apply a thin film of cooking oil on the water. Repeat the application within a few days if rain disturbs the film of oil. ·Water damage, either from a flood or in the aftermath of a fire, is not just unsanitary-it can also be dangerous. From wallboard to rugs, items that are not thoroughly dried can grow mold (霉菌). Keep the windows open and run fans so as to pull moisture out of wooden furniture. Throw out items that have absorbed water and cannot be cleaned or disinfected. →Disasters are upsetting experiences for everyone involved. Some people feel better after a few days, while others find that their stress does not go away as quickly as they would like it to. If you find yourself experiencing some of the feelings and reactions listed below for two weeks or longer, this may be a sign to reach out for additional assistance. ·Having difficulty in eating or sleeping; ·Feeling guilty, helpless or hopeless; ·Avoiding family and friends; ·Suffering from increased physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches. 40．You shouldn’t return home after a disaster if ______. A．the area is still suffering from aftershocks B．you find traces of wild animals around your house C．you catch a smell of gas as soon as you open the door D．your house has not been inspected by local authorities 41．Which of the following actions can cause harm to your health after a flood? A．Throwing away tissues before using them. B．Drying out soft items before using them. C．Driving off hidden animals before moving in again. D．Leaving standing water that can’t be removed where it is. 42．Which of the following survivors need to reach out for the additional assistance mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Peter, who lost contact with his family and best friends. B．Vivian, who found herself in low spirits within the first week of the disaster. C．Libby, who constantly woke up at midnight from bad dreams months after a disaster. D．David, who had no idea how to thoroughly disinfect his house and has been feeling overwhelmed by the cleanup process. (C) eens Are Still Developing Empathy Skills The teen years are often fraught with door-slamming, eye-rolling and seeming insensitivity even by kids who behaved kindly before. Some parents worry that they are doing something wrong or that their children will never think of anyone but themselves. A six -year study shows that biology is partly to blame. In adolescence, critical social skills that are needed for one to feel concern for other people and to understand how they think are undergoing major changes. Adolescence has long been known as prime time for developing cognitive skills (认知能力) for self-regulation and executive function (执行功能). “Cognitive empathy,” or the mental ability to take others’ perspective, begins to rise steadily in girls at the age of 13, according to the study co-authored by Jolien van der Graaff at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. By comparison, boys do not begin until the age of 15 to show increases in perspective-taking, which helps in problem -solving and avoiding conflict. Adolescent boys actually show a temporary decline, between the ages of 13 and 16, in a related skill — “affective empathy (情感同理心),” or the ability to recognize and respond to others’ feelings. This may be the result, at least in part, of a dramatic rise in testosterone (睾酮), the primary male sex hormone, during adolescence, which sparks a desire for dominance and power. Fortunately, the boys’ sensitivity recovers in their late teens. Girls affective empathy remains relatively high and stable throughout adolescence. This doesn’t mean, however, that we can do nothing but just wait for teenagers to develop a feeling of empathy. In fact, parents can help instill affective empathy into their children. Affective empathy is grounded in the limbic region (边缘区) of the brain, which regulates emotions. This capacity begins to develop in infancy. Children learn to practice empathy by watching their parents and by experiencing it themselves-being well treated by adults who sensitively respond to their emotions. While cognitive empathy arises from a different part of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (内侧前额叶皮层), the two abilities are linked. Children’s affective empathy predicts their level of cognitive empathy as teens, says Caspar Van Lissa at Utrecht University. The findings reflect a major expansion in researchers’ understanding of cognitive growth during adolescence. They used to believe that both forms of empathy were fully formed in childhood. Now, it is clear that “the brain regions that support social cognition, which helps us successfully understand and interact with others, continue to change dramatically”, in our teens, says Jennifer Pfeifer at the University of Oregon. Research in her lab also suggests that cognitive empathy rises in teens. The discoveries serve as a new lens for exploring such teen behavior as bullying and drug abuse. 43．Teenage boys are less likely to put themselves in other people’s shoes ______. A．until the age of 15 B．in their late teens C．during adolescence D．between the ages of 13 and 16 44．Adolescent boys tend to ignore the feelings of another person partly because ______. A．they are born with a natural desire for dominance and power B．their affective empathy becomes unstable during adolescence C．they think being sensitive and caring is seen as uncool for guys D．their emotional reactions are highly influenced by peer pressure 45．Which of the following kids is most likely to grow more empathetic during their adolescence? A．Mike, raised by his grandparents who only care if he’s hungry. B．Jack, raised by parents who buy anything he wants to keep him quiet. C．Leila, raised by parents who properly guide her through her emotions. D．Carla, raised by parents who always ask her to handle her feelings on her own. 46．Which of the following statements about the study co-authored by Graaff is NOT true? A．It took her team a long time to reach their conclusions. B．It was the first of its kind to have studied teen empathy. C．Its findings were supported by Jennifer Pfeifer’s research. D．It will pave the way for further research on some typical teen behavior. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．It encourages creators to shorten their filming B．Therefore, specialists are hired to recommend most popular content. C．The accessible entry point can allow creators to reach a wider audience and increase their chances of success. D．In the current climate, what is it about short-form video content that makes it so appealing? E．It breaks down creative and production barriers even further. F．As a result, shortform platforms have improved their ability to deliver content that matches different audiences’ needs and expectations. The past few years have seen a rapid rise in short-form videos’ popularity. Many people, especially the younger generations, are now heavy users of these short, straightforward video clips. Major social media platforms are offering opportunities for all users to create and share short content. 47 It encourages creator and viewer participation When it comes to viewers, I believe they’re looking for a sense of belonging and the chance to interact with others who share their passions. That’s why it’s very important to promote active viewer participation through interesting content. And short-form content provides that in several ways. Firstly, short-form content creators are able to adapt to trends, memes and culturally important news quickly. This vastly encourages participation and the formation of communities. Secondly, platforms have made content creation simple. This simplicity encourages people to get involved. Content is generally free to access Today, short-form platforms tend to rely on advertising rather than subscription fees. 48 For viewers, the economic benefits are attractive, and short-form content is a good choice for those trying to avoid spending money on a subscription. 49 Longer-form online videos already provided everyone with the possibility to become creators. Still, back in 2010, you needed to get your hands on a camera and have a basic understanding of video editing and publishing in order to get started. Short-form video has made the act of creating content much easier. Short videos with music and filters make it easy for almost anyone to produce and share content and even add special effects. Technology no longer acts as a barrier and limit to a creator’s ability to create content. Content is tailored for you Audiences often want to instantly find something to please themselves — though not necessarily by seeking it out themselves. 50 Thanks to advanced algorithms and machine learning, each viewer gets their own tailored feed of content. IV.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Problems on the Production of Coffee Beans The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full -sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade -grown production to full -sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance. On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full -sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full -sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are quickly dying out. Moreover, the continued spread of full -sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen -giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Besides, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions. On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full -sun coffee fields also threatens human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee -growing techniques are poisoning the water locally and eventually the world’s groundwater. It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade -grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee. 51.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．他忘了往锅里倒油，鸡蛋粘在了锅底。（forget） 53．令我们惊喜的是，我们昨天巧遇的学生知识非常渊博。(range) 54．正是其产品始终如一、坚如磐石的品质，这家国产电子元器件公司才能够驰名中外，成为行业标杆。(It) 55．影片哪吒，改编自中国民间故事，以其生动鲜明的角色，引人入胜的故事情节和高质量的特效，吸引了各个年龄层次的观众。（which） VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese 假设你是明启中学高三学生李明，你校校园广播台计划新增一档文化类节目，节目主题从“Traditional Festivals in My Eyes”，“Cultural Icons I Admire”， “The Joys of Hobbies and Collections”中选择一个，现向全校同学征求意见。写一封邮件给广播台负责人，内容须包括： 1.你推荐的节目主题； 2.你的理由。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考押题预测卷 英 语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） I.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Creativity Peaks at Different Ages There are two types of creativity that can blossom at different points in a person’s life. Conceptual innovators do their best work in their mid-twenties, while experimental innovators peak in their fifties. The reason for this difference is that radical thinkers usually come up with 1 new before they are immersed in the conventions of their field. Experimenters, however, 2 take decades of trial and error and accumulate knowledge to make unusual connections, going beyond the conventions of their area. Conceptual thinkers tend to have precise goals for their works and execute them systematically. Pablo Picasso, T. S. Eliot and Albert Einstein all did their greatest work in youth. Experimental innovators, on the other hand, are ambitious but vague, which leads them 3 (take) much longer to develop. The paper cites Paul Cezanne, Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin all as late bloomers. The researchers focused on the Nobel Prize laureates in economics, applying the distinctions 4 conceptual and experimental innovations. They found that just like the artists and scientists, the conceptual innovators did their 5 (groundbreaking) work early in careers, while the experimental innovators tended to produce their best work later in life. In other words, whether your creativity peak 6 (hit) early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach. After the classification, the researchers determined the age when each made their most important contribution to economics. They determined peak creativity by the point 7 the subjects’ scientific papers had the most citations. Their analysis showed that conceptual laureates peaked between the ages of 25 and 29 while experimental laureates did best when they were about twice as old, in their mid-fifties. Lawrence Summers, former president of Harvard University, once refused to offer tenured (终身的) professorships to two 54-year-old scholars out of concern for 8 the university called the problem of “extinct volcanoes”. The new findings suggest that this kind of biased thinking 9 (lead) to bad decision. It ignores the fact that there are different types of innovators and 10 different problems demand different kinds of contributions and solutions. The researchers hope that their work will reduce the world’s favoritism for precocious geniuses and its ignorance of the creativity that comes with age. 【答案】 1．something 2．must 3．to take 4．between 5．most groundbreaking 6．is hit 7．where 8．what 9．leads 10．that 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了不同类型的创造力在不同的年龄达到顶峰，概念性创新者在20多岁出成果，而实验性创新者则在50多岁出成果。 1．考查代词。句意：产生这种差异的原因是，激进的思想家通常在沉浸在他们所在领域的惯例之前就提出了一些新的东西。空后的形容词new作后置定语修饰空处，所以空处应用不定代词。这里表示“提出一些新的动词”，在肯定句中应用something。故填something。 2．考查情态动词。句意：然而，实验者必须经过几十年的反复试验，积累知识，才能建立不同寻常的联系，超越他们所在领域的惯例。空后的take和accumulate是动词原形，所以空处应用情态动词。这里表示“必须”，应用must。故填must。 3．考查非谓语动词。句意：另一方面，实验性创新者雄心勃勃，但含糊不清，这导致他们需要更长的时间来发展。lead sb. to do sth.意为“导致某人做某事”。故填to take。 4．考查介词。句意：研究人员专注于诺贝尔经济学奖获得者，应用了概念创新和实验创新之间的区别。根据空前的“the distinctions”和空后的“conceptual and experimental innovations”可知，这里指概念创新和实验创新之间的区别，应用介词between。between...and...意为“在……和……之间”。故填between。 5．考查形容词最高级。句意：他们发现，就像艺术家和科学家一样，概念性创新者在职业生涯的早期做了最具开创性的工作，而实验性创新者往往在稍晚的生活中创作出最好的作品。根据句中的“their best work”可知，这里与其对应，表示最具开创性的工作，应用形容词最高级。groundbreaking的最高级为most groundbreaking。故填most groundbreaking。 6．考查时态和语态。句意：换句话说，你的创造力高峰是在职业生涯的早期还是晚期达到，取决于你是采用概念性还是实验性的方法。根据depends可知，本句陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语your creativity peak和hit之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，且be动词用is。故填is hit。 7．考查定语从句。句意：他们通过受试者的科学论文被引用次数最多的阶段来确定创造力的峰值。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词point，表示抽象地点，所以用where引导。故填where。 8．考查宾语从句。句意：哈佛大学前校长Lawrence Summers曾出于对该大学所谓的“死火山”问题的担忧，拒绝向两名54岁的学者提供终身教授职位。空处引导宾语从句，在从句中作called的宾语，应用what。故填what。 9．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：新的研究结果表明，这种有偏见的思维会导致糟糕的决定。本句陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语为this kind of biased thinking，谓语用单数形式。故填leads。 10．考查同位语从句。句意：它忽略了这样一个事实，即有不同类型的创新者，不同的问题需要不同类型的贡献和解决方案。and连接并列的同位语从句，修饰the fact，且从句的成分和意义完整，所以用that。故填that。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．dampening     B．desperately     C． extensively     D．gains         E. impact     F. launched     G. revolutionary     H. sandwiched     I. securing         J. shaved     K. wear Do better shoes help you run faster? Modern competitive running entered a new era in 2016, when Nike began distributing a prototype trainer to elite runners. The new shoes were designed to look like Nike’s top publicly available model, the Zoom Streak 6, but the soles featured a(n) 11 new design. And regular runners were able to get their hands on them in 2017 when the company 12 the Zoom Vaporfly 4%, the first true super shoe. “Most super shoes follow the same pattern,” explains Jens Jakob Andersen, founder of RunRepeat, a website that “road-tests” trainers. Typically have curved soles made of a hard carbon plate 13 between layers of specially engineered springy foam. The carbon plate is often very thick — up to 40mm tall at the heel. These features make running easier. Platformed soles encourage a slightly longer stride, which means fewer steps per kilometre. And a soft base, which absorbs 14 before bouncing back up, eases the pressure on leg muscles. The results speak for themselves. Studies estimate that the high-tech trainers have 15 between one and four minutes off elite marathon times. Regular runners benefit too. In 2019 the New York Times analyzed real-world marathon data to measure the speed 16 owed to Nike’s Vaporfly. They found that runners wearing super shoes completed races 4-5% faster than those in average trainers. However, 17 this extra speed demands a substantial expenditure. Adidas’s top model, the Pro Evo 1—worn by Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa during her record-breaking Berlin marathon in 2023—cost $500. And, as the miles add up, most super shoes quickly lose grip and the foam in the sole wears out, 18 their signature springiness. So, with a big race approaching, runners may wonder about the best sneaker strategy. Mr. Andersen’s opinion, super shoes should be broken in a little: he suggests around 20-50km of pre-race use, to improve race-day performance since some foams get bouncier after a small amount of 19 . Buying a new pair of shoes for every race makes an expensive habit, but it could be worth it for those 20 chasing a personal best. 【答案】 11．G 12．F 13．H 14．E 15．J 16．D 17．I 18．A 19．K 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了高科技跑鞋如何帮助运动员提高跑步速度，以及这些跑鞋的特点和优缺点。 11．考查形容词。句意：新款鞋的设计看起来像耐克公开销售的高端型号Zoom Streak 6，但鞋底采用了一种革命性的新设计。根据上文“The new shoes were designed to look like Nike’s top publicly available model, the Zoom Streak 6,”可知，“revolutionary”（革命性的）符合语境，设空处需要形容词修饰“new design”，作定语。故填G。 12．考查时态。句意：2017年，当公司推出Zoom Vaporfly 4%时，普通跑者就能买到它们。根据“the Zoom Vaporfly 4%”可知，“launched”（推出）符合语境。设空处需填入动词过去式，与时间状语“in 2017”匹配，故填F。 13．考查过去分词。句意：通常由硬碳板夹在特殊设计的弹性泡沫层之间制成。根据下文“between layers of specially engineered springy foam.”可知，“sandwiched”（夹在中间）符合语境。设空处需过去分词作后置定语修饰“carbon plate”，故填H。 14．考查动名词。句意：柔软的鞋底在反弹前吸收冲击力，减轻腿部肌肉的压力。根据下文“eases the pressure on leg muscles.”可知，“impact”（冲击/使用）符合语境，名词作宾语。故填E。 15．考查时态。句意：研究表明，高科技跑鞋为精英马拉松选手节省了1到4分钟的时间。根据下文“between one and four minutes off elite marathon times.”可知，“shaved”（削减）符合语境，设空处需动词过去分词构成完成时。故填J。 16．考查名词。句意：在2019年，《纽约时报》分析了实际马拉松数据，以测量耐克Vaporfly带来的速度提升。根据上文“measure the speed”可知，“gains”（提升）符合语境。设空处需名词作宾语，故填D。 17．考查动名词。句意：然而，获得这种额外速度需要高昂的花费。根据上文“They found that runners wearing super shoes completed races 4-5% faster than those in average trainers.”可知，“securing”（获得）符合语境。设空处需动名词作主语，故填I。 18．考查非谓语。句意：而且，随着里程的增加，大多数超级鞋很快就会失去抓地力，鞋底的泡沫会磨损，削弱它们标志性的弹性。根据上文“wears out”，“dampening”（减弱）符合语境。本句为现在分词作状语。故填A。 19．考查名词。句意： Mr. Andersen认为，超级跑鞋应该在比赛前使用20-50公里左右，以提高比赛日的表现，因为一些泡沫在少量磨损后会变得更有弹性。根据上文“he suggests around 20-50km of pre-race us”可知，“wear”（磨损）符合语境，设空处需名词作宾语。故填K。 20．考查副词。句意：每次比赛都买一双新鞋是一种昂贵的习惯，但对于那些拼命地追求个人最佳成绩的人来说，这可能是值得的。根据下文“chasing a personal best.”可知，“desperately”（拼命地）符合语境。，设空处需副词修饰“chasing”作状语，故填B。 III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 per cent fewer insects now than in 1990．This includes those we depend on to pollinate (授粉) our crops and clean our rivers. If we don’t solve this problem very soon, some species will 21 . There are many causes for the insect decline, but pesticides (杀虫剂) are a major part of the problem. Those used today are 22 and up to 10000 times more poisonous than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as preventive measures, whether pests are 23 or not. Overall, the amount of insecticide applied to the land is 24 , but this is a very misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. 25 , the global toxicity (毒性) of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. Governments and regulating agencies are aware of the problem, and some have moved to 26 the use of certain pesticides outdoors in an attempt to help bees survive. But the pesticides used instead are just as hazardous. One 27 approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods, referred to as integrated pest management (IPM). Having been around for decades, they offer effective crop protection and include methods such as planting resistant varieties, 28 pest habitats and releasing natural enemies of pests. But their adoption has been incredibly 29 , because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easy option. As a result, IPM methods are 30 seldom used today. Neither changing insecticides nor adopting IPM is a quick 31 . We argue instead that we need a gradual 32 in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the 33 dose (剂量) we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a small portion of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. 34 , they could spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. It is also a move that could win us time to make food production more 35 and integrate farmlands well with the natural ecosystems we crucially depend on. And that will allow insects to recover in the end. 21．A．come out B．leave out C．die out D．set out 22．A．efficient B．economical C．persisting D．temporary 23．A．energetic B．healthy C．present D．current 24．A．decreasing B．increasing C．multiplying D．rising 25．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Furthermore D．However 26．A．ban B．embrace C．permit D．make 27．A．highly-recommended B．well-received C．widely-applied D．over-estimated 28．A．harvesting B．producing C．removing D．locating 29．A．slow B．rapid C．simple D．popular 30．A．willingly B．luckily C．purposefully D．unfortunately 31．A．problem B．decision C．action D．fix 32．A．progress B．improvement C．process D．shift 33．A．medium B．heavy C．minimal D．high 34．A．All in all B．First of all C．In all D．After all 35．A．efficient B．nutritious C．profitable D．sustainable 【答案】 21．C 22．C 23．C 24．A 25．D 26．A 27．A 28．C 29．A 30．D 31．D 32．D 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述昆虫数量减少的现状、原因及解决办法。 21．考查动词短语辨析。句意：如果我们不尽快解决这个问题，一些物种将会灭绝。A. come out出来，出版；B. leave out遗漏，省去；C. die out灭绝；D. set out出发，开始。根据前文“Insects are disappearing.”可知，昆虫正在消失，如果不解决，一些物种将会灭绝。故选C。 22．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：现在使用的杀虫剂持久性更强，毒性比20世纪70年代被禁止的一些杀虫剂高达10000倍。A. efficient有效率的；B. economical经济的；C. persisting持久的；D. temporary暂时的。根据后文“and up to 10000 times more poisonous than some that were banned in the 1970s.”可知，现在的杀虫剂毒性更强且更持久。故选C。 23．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：使问题更加严重的是，这些杀虫剂现在被用作农作物的预防措施，无论害虫是否存在。A. energetic精力充沛的；B. healthy健康的；C. present存在的；D. current当前的。根据前文“as preventive measures”可知，这些杀虫剂是作为预防措施使用的，不管害虫是否存在都会使用。故选C。 24．考查动词词义辨析。句意：总的来说，施用于土地的杀虫剂数量正在减少，但这是一个非常误导性的统计数字。A. decreasing减少；B. increasing增加；C. multiplying繁殖，乘；D. rising上升。根据后文“A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight.”和“the global toxicity (毒性) of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period.”可知，虽然按重量计算，施用于农作物的杀虫剂数量减少了40%，但总体毒性却增加了，说明这里说的是数量在减少，但情况并不乐观。故选A。 25．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，在同一时期，经处理的土地对传粉昆虫的全球毒性却增加了一倍多。A. Therefore因此；B. Moreover而且；C. Furthermore此外；D.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When I look back on my childhood, one aspect stands out in my memory: my love of history. I can remember a time when history hasn’t been a part of my life, and my passion for it was aroused in my earliest days. I was only two or three years old when my mum began to read me tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and before long, they became a regular part of my bedtime routine. I was fascinated by the stories of the sword in the stone and the Holy Grail, and I was attracted by Lancelot and Guinevere. When I was four, though, I received a gift that would prove so inspirational that — without my knowledge at the time — it helped to steer the direction of my career: The Webtastic Illustrated British History Book. When my mum gave this to me, published in 1989, I doubt she thought much beyond the fact that it might open for me a gateway to something or someone other than King Arthur—and she was absolutely right. I vividly remember leafing through the pages and admiring the pictures — and then I came to one image that really captured my attention: Henry VIII and his six wives. The idea of a king who had married six times fascinated the infant me, and I used the book to memorize the classic rhyme about their fate: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Simply from viewing pictures of a king and his spouses, my love of the Tudors (都铎王朝) was born — and snowballed. That slim volume was my starting point, and soon it began to show signs of wear. I became determined to find out all I could about Henry VIII and his extraordinary family — a journey that I’m still undertaking to this day. If I hadn’t been given that book as a child, I’m certain that my career would’ve taken an entirely different direction. It was a small thing — but one that made a far-reaching impact. 36．Why did the mother give the author The Webtastic Illustrated British History Book? A．To make bedtime more enjoyable for the author. B．To encourage the author to pursue a career in history. C．To help the author understand the importance of reading. D．To introduce the author to other historical topics besides King Arthur. 37．Why does the author mention seeing the image of Henry VIII in the book? A．To describe her fascination with royal marriages. B．To show how this image excited her deep interest in history. C．To highlight how essential illustrations are in a children’s history book. D．To suggest that the image influenced her view of historical events. 38．Which piece of the following advice is the author most likely to give to parents? A．Expose children to history early on because it is important for their growth. B．Prioritize content over engaging illustrations when choosing books for children. C．Introduce children to academics to shape their future careers. D．Encourage children’s exploration of interests with resources. 39．Which of the following proverbs best reflects the main theme of the passage? A．A tiny flame can start a fire. B．You reap what you sow. C．Still waters run deep. D．The early bird catches the worm. 【答案】36．D 37．B 38．D 39．A 【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者童年时期对历史的热爱，尤其是母亲送给作者的一本书激发了她对历史的浓厚兴趣，并最终影响了其职业选择。 36．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“When my mum gave this to me, published in 1989, I doubt she thought much beyond the fact that it might open for me a gateway to something or someone other than King Arthur—and she was absolutely right. (1989年妈妈把这本书送给我时，我怀疑她并没有多想，只是觉得这本书可能会为我打开一扇通往亚瑟王以外的事儿或人物的大门——她完全正确)”可知，母亲送这本书的目的是为了让作者接触到除了亚瑟王以外的其他历史话题。故选D项。 37．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“The idea of a king who had married six times fascinated the infant me, and I used the book to memorize the classic rhyme about their fate: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. (一个国王结了六次婚让我着迷，我用这本书记住了关于她们命运的经典韵律：离婚、斩首、死亡、离婚、斩首、幸存)”可知，作者能够记住复杂的人物命运，正是受到了这张图片的启发，提及这张图片是为了展示该图如何激发了她对历史的浓厚兴趣。故选B项。 38．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段最后两句“If I hadn’t been given that book as a child, I’m certain that my career would’ve taken an entirely different direction. It was a small thing—but one that made a far-reaching impact. (如果我童年时没有收到那本书，我的职业生涯肯定会走向完全不同的方向。这是一件小事，但却产生了深远的影响)”可知，作者的母亲给作者一本书这件小事，进一步激发了作者对历史的兴趣，甚至影响了其职业选择。由此可见，家长可以通过提供书籍等资源来引导和培养孩子兴趣的发展。作者最可能给出的建议应是家长应提供资源鼓励孩子探索兴趣。故选D项。 39．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段最后一句“It was a small thing—but one that made a far-reaching impact. (这是一件小事，但却产生了深远的影响)”可知，文章通过作者具体的经历来突显了一件小事可能带来巨大的影响。童年母亲给作者一本书这件小事，最终影响了作者的职业选择。因此“A tiny flame can start a fire. (星星之火可以燎原)”这句谚语能反映文章的主题。故选A项。 (B) Staying Safe After a Disaster Although each type of disaster brings its own unique challenges, the steps listed here are applicable to many different situations you may face. For information on safety and recovery after specific types of disasters and emergencies, please visit https: // www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies.html. →Some natural disasters, such as severe storms or earthquakes, may recur in the form of new storms or aftershocks over the next several days. Take all safety precautions in case the disaster strikes again. For an earthquake aftershock, remember to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON just like you did during the initial earthquake. →If you had to leave your home, return only when local authorities advise that it is safe to do so. Make a careful and thorough inspection of your home: ·Sniff for gas. If you detect natural gas or hear a hissing noise, leave the property immediately and get far away from it. Call the fire department after you reach safety. ·Beware of animals, such as rodents (啮齿动物), snakes, spiders and insects, that may have entered your home. If you suspect your home, tap loudly and often on the floor with a stick to give notice that you are there. Flooding and storms can create conditions in which disease -bearing mosquitoes can breed. Remove standing water (积水) where possible. If you can’t get rid of it, use a commercial product that kills mosquito larvae (幼虫) or apply a thin film of cooking oil on the water. Repeat the application within a few days if rain disturbs the film of oil. ·Water damage, either from a flood or in the aftermath of a fire, is not just unsanitary-it can also be dangerous. From wallboard to rugs, items that are not thoroughly dried can grow mold (霉菌). Keep the windows open and run fans so as to pull moisture out of wooden furniture. Throw out items that have absorbed water and cannot be cleaned or disinfected. →Disasters are upsetting experiences for everyone involved. Some people feel better after a few days, while others find that their stress does not go away as quickly as they would like it to. If you find yourself experiencing some of the feelings and reactions listed below for two weeks or longer, this may be a sign to reach out for additional assistance. ·Having difficulty in eating or sleeping; ·Feeling guilty, helpless or hopeless; ·Avoiding family and friends; ·Suffering from increased physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches. 40．You shouldn’t return home after a disaster if ______. A．the area is still suffering from aftershocks B．you find traces of wild animals around your house C．you catch a smell of gas as soon as you open the door D．your house has not been inspected by local authorities 41．Which of the following actions can cause harm to your health after a flood? A．Throwing away tissues before using them. B．Drying out soft items before using them. C．Driving off hidden animals before moving in again. D．Leaving standing water that can’t be removed where it is. 42．Which of the following survivors need to reach out for the additional assistance mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Peter, who lost contact with his family and best friends. B．Vivian, who found herself in low spirits within the first week of the disaster.

Remove standing water where possible.(洪水和暴风雨会为携带疾病的蚊子的繁殖创造条件。尽可能清除积水)”可知，如果积水无法清除，可能会导致蚊虫滋生，从而危害健康。故选D项。 42．推理判断题。根据第七段“If you find yourself experiencing some of the feelings and reactions listed below for two weeks or longer, this may be a sign to reach out for additional assistance.(如果你发现自己经历了下面列出的一些感觉和反应，持续了两周或更长时间，这可能是一个寻求额外帮助的信号)”及下面“Having difficulty in eating or sleeping(进食或睡眠困难的)”可知，C项中的Libby在灾后数月仍因噩梦而频繁醒来，符合需要寻求帮助的条件。故选C项。 (C) eens Are Still Developing Empathy Skills The teen years are often fraught with door-slamming, eye-rolling and seeming insensitivity even by kids who behaved kindly before. Some parents worry that they are doing something wrong or that their children will never think of anyone but themselves. A six -year study shows that biology is partly to blame. In adolescence, critical social skills that are needed for one to feel concern for other people and to understand how they think are undergoing major changes. Adolescence has long been known as prime time for developing cognitive skills (认知能力) for self-regulation and executive function (执行功能). “Cognitive empathy,” or the mental ability to take others’ perspective, begins to rise steadily in girls at the age of 13, according to the study co-authored by Jolien van der Graaff at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. By comparison, boys do not begin until the age of 15 to show increases in perspective-taking, which helps in problem -solving and avoiding conflict. Adolescent boys actually show a temporary decline, between the ages of 13 and 16, in a related skill — “affective empathy (情感同理心),” or the ability to recognize and respond to others’ feelings. This may be the result, at least in part, of a dramatic rise in testosterone (睾酮), the primary male sex hormone, during adolescence, which sparks a desire for dominance and power. Fortunately, the boys’ sensitivity recovers in their late teens. Girls affective empathy remains relatively high and stable throughout adolescence. This doesn’t mean, however, that we can do nothing but just wait for teenagers to develop a feeling of empathy. In fact, parents can help instill affective empathy into their children. Affective empathy is grounded in the limbic region (边缘区) of the brain, which regulates emotions. This capacity begins to develop in infancy. Children learn to practice empathy by watching their parents and by experiencing it themselves-being well treated by adults who sensitively respond to their emotions. While cognitive empathy arises from a different part of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (内侧前额叶皮层), the two abilities are linked. Children’s affective empathy predicts their level of cognitive empathy as teens, says Caspar Van Lissa at Utrecht University. The findings reflect a major expansion in researchers’ understanding of cognitive growth during adolescence. They used to believe that both forms of empathy were fully formed in childhood. Now, it is clear that “the brain regions that support social cognition, which helps us successfully understand and interact with others, continue to change dramatically”, in our teens, says Jennifer Pfeifer at the University of Oregon. Research in her lab also suggests that cognitive empathy rises in teens. The discoveries serve as a new lens for exploring such teen behavior as bullying and drug abuse. 43．Teenage boys are less likely to put themselves in other people’s shoes ______. A．until the age of 15 B．in their late teens C．during adolescence D．between the ages of 13 and 16 44．Adolescent boys tend to ignore the feelings of another person partly because ______. A．they are born with a natural desire for dominance and power B．their affective empathy becomes unstable during adolescence C．they think being sensitive and caring is seen as uncool for guys D．their emotional reactions are highly influenced by peer pressure 45．Which of the following kids is most likely to grow more empathetic during their adolescence? A．Mike, raised by his grandparents who only care if he’s hungry. B．Jack, raised by parents who buy anything he wants to keep him quiet. C．Leila, raised by parents who properly guide her through her emotions. D．Carla, raised by parents who always ask her to handle her feelings on her own. 46．Which of the following statements about the study co-authored by Graaff is NOT true? A．It took her team a long time to reach their conclusions. B．It was the first of its kind to have studied teen empathy. C．Its findings were supported by Jennifer Pfeifer’s research. D．It will pave the way for further research on some typical teen behavior. 【答案】43．A 44．B 45．C 46．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了青少年之所以发脾气，与其生理因素有一定的关系，他们仍在发展同理心技能。 43．细节理解题。根据第三段中““Cognitive empathy,” or the mental ability to take others’ perspective, begins to rise steadily in girls at the age of 13, according to the study co-authored by Jolien van der Graaff at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. By comparison, boys do not begin until the age of 15 to show increases in perspective-taking, which helps in problem -solving and avoiding conflict.( 荷兰乌得勒支大学（Utrecht University）的乔利恩·范德格拉夫（joolien van der Graaff）与人合著的这项研究表明，女孩的“认知同理心”，即站在他人角度思考的心理能力，在13岁时开始稳步上升。相比之下，男孩直到15岁才开始表现出换位思考的能力，这有助于解决问题和避免冲突。)”可知，男孩直到 15 岁才开始在换位思考能力上有所提升，也就是说在 15 岁之前，青少年男孩不太可能设身处地为他人着想。故选A项。 44．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Adolescent boys actually show a temporary decline, between the ages of 13 and 16, in a related skill — “affective empathy (情感同理心),” or the ability to recognize and respond to others’ feelings. This may be the result, at least in part, of a dramatic rise in testosterone (睾酮), the primary male sex hormone, during adolescence, which sparks a desire for dominance and power.( 青春期男孩在13岁到16岁之间，在一项相关技能——“情感同理心”，或识别并回应他人感受的能力上，实际上会出现暂时的衰退。这可能是青春期男性主要性激素睾丸激素急剧上升的结果，至少在一定程度上是这样，睾丸激素会激发对统治和权力的渴望。)”可知，青春期男孩在13到16岁期间情感同理心会暂时下降，这导致他们倾向于忽视他人的感受，也就是说他们的情感同理心在青春期变得不稳定。故选B项。 45．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Children learn to practice empathy by watching their parents and by experiencing it themselves-being well treated by adults who sensitively respond to their emotions.( 孩子们通过观察他们的父母和亲身体验来学习同理心——被那些对他们的情绪敏感的成年人善待。)”可知，孩子通过观察父母以及自己经历被成人敏感地回应情绪来学习共情。C 选项中 Leila 的父母适当地引导她处理情绪，符合能让孩子更有共情能力的条件。故选C项。 46．细节理解题。根据第一段中“A six -year study shows that biology is partly to blame.( 一项为期六年的研究表明，生物学是部分原因。)”可知，她的团队花了很长时间（六年）得出结论，A 项正确；根据最后一段中“Research in her lab also suggests that cognitive empathy rises in teens.( 她实验室的研究还表明，青少年的认知同理心会增强。)”可知，Jennifer Pfeifer的研究支持了Graaff的研究发现，即认知同理心在青少年时期会上升，C项正确；根据最后一段中“The discoveries serve as a new lens for exploring such teen behavior as bullying and drug abuse.( 这些发现为探索欺凌和滥用药物等青少年行为提供了新的视角。)”可知，这些发现将为进一步研究一些典型的青少年行为（如欺凌和药物滥用）铺平道路，D项正确；文中并没有提及这是第一个研究青少年同理心的研究，B项“the first of its kind”说法错误。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．It encourages creators to shorten their filming B．Therefore, specialists are hired to recommend most popular content. C．The accessible entry point can allow creators to reach a wider audience and increase their chances of success. D．In the current climate, what is it about short-form video content that makes it so appealing? E．It breaks down creative and production barriers even further. F．As a result, shortform platforms have improved their ability to deliver content that matches different audiences’ needs and expectations. The past few years have seen a rapid rise in short-form videos’ popularity. Many people, especially the younger generations, are now heavy users of these short, straightforward video clips. Major social media platforms are offering opportunities for all users to create and share short content. 47 It encourages creator and viewer participation When it comes to viewers, I believe they’re looking for a sense of belonging and the chance to interact with others who share their passions. That’s why it’s very important to promote active viewer participation through interesting content. And short-form content provides that in several ways. Firstly, short-form content creators are able to adapt to trends, memes and culturally important news quickly. This vastly encourages participation and the formation of communities. Secondly, platforms have made content creation simple. This simplicity encourages people to get involved. Content is generally free to access Today, short-form platforms tend to rely on advertising rather than subscription fees. 48 For viewers, the economic benefits are attractive, and short-form content is a good choice for those trying to avoid spending money on a subscription. 49 Longer-form online videos already provided everyone with the possibility to become creators. Still, back in 2010, you needed to get your hands on a camera and have a basic understanding of video editing and publishing in order to get started. Short-form video has made the act of creating content much easier. Short videos with music and filters make it easy for almost anyone to produce and share content and even add special effects. Technology no longer acts as a barrier and limit to a creator’s ability to create content. Content is tailored for you Audiences often want to instantly find something to please themselves — though not necessarily by seeking it out themselves. 50 Thanks to advanced algorithms and machine learning, each viewer gets their own tailored feed of content. 【答案】47．D 48．C 49．E 50．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了短视频十分受欢迎，分析了背后的原因。 47．根据上文“The past few years have seen a rapid rise in short-form videos’ popularity. Many people, especially the younger generations, are now heavy users of these short, straightforward video clips. Major social media platforms are offering opportunities for all users to create and share short content.(在过去的几年里，短视频的受欢迎程度迅速上升。许多人，尤其是年轻一代，现在是这些简短、直白的视频剪辑的重度用户。主要的社交媒体平台为所有用户提供了创作和分享短内容的机会)”可知，本句承上启下，提出关于短视频受欢迎的疑问，启示后文。故D选项“在当前的大环境下，短视频内容为何如此吸引人？”符合语境，故选D。 48．根据上文“Today, short-form platforms tend to rely on advertising rather than subscription fees.(如今，短视频平台往往依赖于广告，而不是订阅费用)”可知，本句承接上文，说明短视频不收费所带来的影响。故C选项“无障碍入口可以让创作者接触到更广泛的受众，增加他们成功的机会”符合语境，故选C。 49．根据本段内容“Longer-form online videos already provided everyone with the possibility to become creators. Still, back in 2010, you needed to get your hands on a camera and have a basic understanding of video editing and publishing in order to get started. Short-form video has made the act of creating content much easier. Short videos with music and filters make it easy for almost anyone to produce and share content and even add special effects. Technology no longer acts as a barrier and limit to a creator’s ability to create content.(较长的在线视频已经为每个人提供了成为创作者的可能性。不过，早在2010年，你就需要拿起相机，对视频编辑和发布有一个基本的了解，才能开始。短视频使得创作内容变得更加容易。带有音乐和滤镜的短视频使几乎任何人都可以轻松地制作和分享内容，甚至可以添加特效。技术不再是创作者创造内容能力的障碍和限制)”可知，本段主要说明了短视频有助于创作者创造内容，故E选项“它进一步打破了创意和生产障碍”符合语境，故选E。 50．根据上文“Audiences often want to instantly find something to please themselves — though not necessarily by seeking it out themselves.(观众经常想要立即找到让自己满意的东西——尽管不一定要自己去寻找)”可知，本句与上文构成应关系，指出短视频平台是如何满足观众需求的。故F选项“因此，短视频平台提高了他们提供内容的能力，以满足不同受众的需求和期望”符合语境，故选F。 IV.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Problems on the Production of Coffee Beans The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full -sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade -grown production to full -sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance. On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full -sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full -sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are quickly dying out. Moreover, the continued spread of full -sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen -giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Besides, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions. On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full -sun coffee fields also threatens human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee -growing techniques are poisoning the water locally and eventually the world’s groundwater. It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade -grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee. 51.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Full - sun production of coffee beans caused damage to some species, even the ecology. First, it destroys the habitats of local species. Moreover, with water poisoned and fewer species for medical research, people’s life is affected. The destruction of the rainforest ecology seems inevitable, accompanied by air pollution, global warming etc. Therefore, consumers are advised to buy shade - grown coffee. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出咖啡豆的全日照生产损害了某些品种及生态。它破坏当地物种栖息地，影响人类生活（水中毒、医学研究物种减少），还破坏雨林生态致空气污染、全球变暖，故建议消费者买阴凉种植的咖啡。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full -sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. ②On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full -sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. Moreover, the continued spread of full -sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.   ③On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full -sun coffee fields also threatens human life. ④They can purchase shade -grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. 2.缜密构思将第1、2两个要点进行重组，将第3、4两个要点进行整合。 3.遣词造句 Full sun production of coffee beans has caused damage to some varieties and even ecology. In addition, people’s lives are affected due to water poisoning and the reduction of species used for medical research. The destruction of rainforest ecology seems inevitable, accompanied by air pollution, global warming and so on. 【点睛】[高分句型1] The destruction of the rainforest ecology seems inevitable, accompanied by air pollution, global warming etc.（运用了非谓语动词中的过去分词作后置定语修饰The destruction of the rainforest ecology。） [高分句型2]Moreover, with water poisoned and fewer species for medical research, people’s life is affected .（运用了with的介词短语作状语以及被动语态结构。） V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．他忘了往锅里倒油，鸡蛋粘在了锅底。（forget） 【答案】He had forgotten to pour some oil into the pan so that the eggs stuck to the surface/the bottom/it. /He forgot to pour some oil into the pan so that the eggs stuck to the surface/the bottom/it 【详解】考查动词和固定短语。根据中文提示和句意可知，这里时态应为过去时，可以用一般过去时或者过去完成时，且这里考查基础单词forget的用法：即forget to do表“忘记去做某事”，为固定搭配。表示“往锅里倒油”短语为pour some oil into the pan，表示“鸡蛋粘在了锅底”短语为stuck to the surface/the bottom/it，前后是两个简单句，为因果关系，因此用连词词组so that连接。故翻译为He had forgotten to pour some oil into the pan so that the eggs stuck to the surface/the bottom/it或者He forgot to pour some oil into the pan so that the eggs stuck to the surface/the bottom/it。 53．令我们惊喜的是，我们昨天巧遇的学生知识非常渊博。(range) 【答案】To our surprise, the student we ran into yesterday has a wide range of knowledge. 【详解】考查固定短语、时态和定语从句。“令我们惊喜的是”可使用固定短语to our surprise表示，“巧遇”可使用固定短语run into，“学生”可翻译为the student，为单数，句中时间状语“昨天”可翻译为yesterday，run应使用一般过去时，“昨天巧遇的学生”可表达为关系代词whom/that引导的定语从句，关系词在从句中作into的宾语，可以省略；“知识非常渊博”翻译为have a wide range of knowledge，“学生知识渊博”为一般事实，因此have应使用三单形式。结合整体句意，故翻译为：To our surprise, the student we ran into yesterday has a wide range of knowledge.。 54．正是其产品始终如一、坚如磐石的品质，这家国产电子元器件公司才能够驰名中外，成为行业标杆。(It) 【答案】It is the constant and solid quality of its products that has made this domestic electronic component company renowned both at home and abroad, becoming an industry standard. 【详解】考查强调句、固定短语、时态和非谓语动词。根据题目要求使用it，这里考查强调句结构“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他部分”，此句强调的是“其产品始终如一、坚如磐石的品质”，即“the constant and solid quality of its products”，所以用“It is... that...”结构；“国产电子元器件公司”翻译为“domestic electronic component company”；“驰名中外”常用形容词短语“renowned both at home and abroad”，该表达作定语修饰company；表示“使得……能够”含义的表达为make，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响，谓语动词使用现在完成时；“成为行业标杆”用现在分词“becoming an industry standard”作结果状语，说明该公司因为品质好而驰名中外后所产生的结果。故整句话翻译为It is the constant and solid quality of its products that has made this domestic electronic component company renowned both at home and abroad, becoming an industry standard. 55．影片哪吒，改编自中国民间故事，以其生动鲜明的角色，引人入胜的故事情节和高质量的特效，吸引了各个年龄层次的观众。（which） 【答案】The film Ne Zha, which is adapted from Chinese folk tales, attracts audiences of all ages with its vivid and distinct characters, engaging plot, and high-quality special effects. 【详解】考查时态、定语从句。表示“影片哪吒”用the film Ne Zha，作主语，句首单词，首字母大写。表示“以……吸引……”用attract...with...，句子描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，主语The film Ne Zha为第三人称单数，谓语也用第三人称单数attracts。表示“各个年龄层次的观众”用audiences of all ages，作attracts的宾语。表示“生动鲜明的角色，引人入胜的故事情节和高质量的特效”用its vivid and distinct characters, engaging plot, and high-quality special effects，作with的宾语。表示“改编自中国民间故事”用非限制性定语从句，从句中：先行词是The film Ne Zha，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导；表示“改编自”用be adapted from，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数，be动词用is；表示“中国民间故事”用Chinese folk tales，作from的宾语。故翻译为：The film Ne Zha, which is adapted from Chinese folk tales, attracts audiences of all ages with its vivid and distinct characters, engaging plot, and high-quality special effects.

Her action was part of a unique experiment that Gnuys hopes will help improve her own self-confidence and inspire others to stop focusing on external perfection. The project had its roots in Gruys’ struggles with body image and her experience overcoming an eating disorder. In high school, she had insecurities about her appearance and suffered from depression. Gnuys launched her no-mirrors project when she was planning her wedding. At that time wedding dress shopping was not a pleasant experience for her but a source of stress. She saw herself in the mirror and was rather critical. Thinking of losing weight all the time makes her low-spirited. Then Gruys read about ancient Italians who were forbidden to look at each other on particular occasions. She was tempted to follow suit. At the beginning of her mirror-free lifestyle. Gruys admits there were a few difficulties. But quickly, she leaned to adapt. She trained herself to avoid eye contact with her own image in windows trusted friends to tell her what looks good when buying clothes and she put complete faith in her hair stylist Now, she is getting back to paying attention to the real meaningful things in life such as planting and reading rather than the misleading appearance or reflection And she is finally having peace.

V. Guided Writing (共25分) 56参考例文： Dear Radio Station Director, I'm Li Ming, a senior student from Mingqi Middle School. I'm writing to share my thoughts on the new cultural program your radio station plans to launch. I highly recommend the theme “Traditional Festivals in My Eyes”. In our fast - paced modern life, traditional festivals are gradually losing their original charm. By exploring this theme, students can rediscover the rich cultural connotations of these festivals. For example, the Spring Festival is not just about family reunions and red envelopes; it also symbolizes hope and new beginnings. Moreover, traditional festivals are a bridge connecting the past and the present, which can strengthen students' cultural identity and sense of belonging. I believe this program will be a great addition to our campus radio. Best regards, Li Ming 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$试卷2，one listening . comprehension section a directions.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Creativity Peaks at Different Ages There are two types of creativity that can blossom at different points in a person’s life. Conceptual innovators do their best work in their mid-twenties, while experimental innovators peak in their fifties. The reason for this difference is that radical thinkers usually come up with 1 new before they are immersed in the conventions of their field. Experimenters, however, 2 take decades of trial and error and accumulate knowledge to make unusual connections, going beyond the conventions of their area. Conceptual thinkers tend to have precise goals for their works and execute them systematically. Pablo Picasso, T. S. Eliot and Albert Einstein all did their greatest work in youth. Experimental innovators, on the other hand, are ambitious but vague, which leads them 3 (take) much longer to develop. The paper cites Paul Cezanne, Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin all as late bloomers. The researchers focused on the Nobel Prize laureates in economics, applying the distinctions 4 conceptual and experimental innovations. They found that just like the artists and scientists, the conceptual innovators did their 5 (groundbreaking) work early in careers, while the experimental innovators tended to produce their best work later in life. In other words, whether your creativity peak 6 (hit) early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach. After the classification, the researchers determined the age when each made their most important contribution to economics. They determined peak creativity by the point 7 the subjects’ scientific papers had the most citations. Their analysis showed that conceptual laureates peaked between the ages of 25 and 29 while experimental laureates did best when they were about twice as old, in their mid-fifties. Lawrence Summers, former president of Harvard University, once refused to offer tenured (终身的) professorships to two 54-year-old scholars out of concern for 8 the university called the problem of “extinct volcanoes”. The new findings suggest that this kind of biased thinking 9 (lead) to bad decision. It ignores the fact that there are different types of innovators and 10 different problems demand different kinds of contributions and solutions. The researchers hope that their work will reduce the world’s favoritism for precocious geniuses and its ignorance of the creativity that comes with age. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．dampening     B．desperately     C． extensively     D．gains         E. impact     F. launched     G. revolutionary     H. sandwiched     I. securing         J. shaved     K. wear Do better shoes help you run faster? Modern competitive running entered a new era in 2016, when Nike began distributing a prototype trainer to elite runners. The new shoes were designed to look like Nike’s top publicly available model, the Zoom Streak 6, but the soles featured a(n) 11 new design. And regular runners were able to get their hands on them in 2017 when the company 12 the Zoom Vaporfly 4%, the first true super shoe. “Most super shoes follow the same pattern,” explains Jens Jakob Andersen, founder of RunRepeat, a website that “road-tests” trainers. Typically have curved soles made of a hard carbon plate 13 between layers of specially engineered springy foam. The carbon plate is often very thick — up to 40mm tall at the heel. These features make running easier. Platformed soles encourage a slightly longer stride, which means fewer steps per kilometre. And a soft base, which absorbs 14 before bouncing back up, eases the pressure on leg muscles. The results speak for themselves. Studies estimate that the high-tech trainers have 15 between one and four minutes off elite marathon times. Regular runners benefit too. In 2019 the New York Times analyzed real-world marathon data to measure the speed 16 owed to Nike’s Vaporfly. They found that runners wearing super shoes completed races 4-5% faster than those in average trainers. However, 17 this extra speed demands a substantial expenditure. Adidas’s top model, the Pro Evo 1—worn by Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa during her record-breaking Berlin marathon in 2023—cost $500. And, as the miles add up, most super shoes quickly lose grip and the foam in the sole wears out, 18 their signature springiness. So, with a big race approaching, runners may wonder about the best sneaker strategy. Mr. Andersen’s opinion, super shoes should be broken in a little: he suggests around 20-50km of pre-race use, to improve race-day performance since some foams get bouncier after a small amount of 19 . Buying a new pair of shoes for every race makes an expensive habit, but it could be worth it for those 20 chasing a personal best. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 per cent fewer insects now than in 1990．This includes those we depend on to pollinate (授粉) our crops and clean our rivers. If we don’t solve this problem very soon, some species will 21 . There are many causes for the insect decline, but pesticides (杀虫剂) are a major part of the problem. Those used today are 22 and up to 10000 times more poisonous than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as preventive measures, whether pests are 23 or not. Overall, the amount of insecticide applied to the land is 24 , but this is a very misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. 25 , the global toxicity (毒性) of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. Governments and regulating agencies are aware of the problem, and some have moved to 26 the use of certain pesticides outdoors in an attempt to help bees survive. But the pesticides used instead are just as hazardous. One 27 approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods, referred to as integrated pest management (IPM). Having been around for decades, they offer effective crop protection and include methods such as planting resistant varieties, 28 pest habitats and releasing natural enemies of pests. But their adoption has been incredibly 29 , because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easy option. As a result, IPM methods are 30 seldom used today. Neither changing insecticides nor adopting IPM is a quick 31 . We argue instead that we need a gradual 32 in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the 33 dose (剂量) we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a small portion of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. 34 , they could spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. It is also a move that could win us time to make food production more 35 and integrate farmlands well with the natural ecosystems we crucially depend on. And that will allow insects to recover in the end. 21．A．come out B．leave out C．die out D．set out 22．A．efficient B．economical C．persisting D．temporary 23．A．energetic B．healthy C．present D．current 24．A．decreasing B．increasing C．multiplying D．rising 25．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Furthermore D．However 26．A．ban B．embrace C．permit D．make 27．A．highly-recommended B．well-received C．widely-applied D．over-estimated 28．A．harvesting B．producing C．removing D．locating 29．A．slow B．rapid C．simple D．popular 30．A．willingly B．luckily C．purposefully D．unfortunately 31．A．problem B．decision C．action D．fix 32．A．progress B．improvement C．process D．shift 33．A．medium B．heavy C．minimal D．high 34．A．All in all B．First of all C．In all D．After all 35．A．efficient B．nutritious C．profitable D．sustainable Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When I look back on my childhood, one aspect stands out in my memory: my love of history. I can remember a time when history hasn’t been a part of my life, and my passion for it was aroused in my earliest days. I was only two or three years old when my mum began to read me tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and before long, they became a regular part of my bedtime routine. I was fascinated by the stories of the sword in the stone and the Holy Grail, and I was attracted by Lancelot and Guinevere. When I was four, though, I received a gift that would prove so inspirational that — without my knowledge at the time — it helped to steer the direction of my career: The Webtastic Illustrated British History Book. When my mum gave this to me, published in 1989, I doubt she thought much beyond the fact that it might open for me a gateway to something or someone other than King Arthur—and she was absolutely right. I vividly remember leafing through the pages and admiring the pictures — and then I came to one image that really captured my attention: Henry VIII and his six wives. The idea of a king who had married six times fascinated the infant me, and I used the book to memorize the classic rhyme about their fate: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Simply from viewing pictures of a king and his spouses, my love of the Tudors (都铎王朝) was born — and snowballed. That slim volume was my starting point, and soon it began to show signs of wear. I became determined to find out all I could about Henry VIII and his extraordinary family — a journey that I’m still undertaking to this day. If I hadn’t been given that book as a child, I’m certain that my career would’ve taken an entirely different direction. It was a small thing — but one that made a far-reaching impact. 36．Why did the mother give the author The Webtastic Illustrated British History Book? A．To make bedtime more enjoyable for the author. B．To encourage the author to pursue a career in history. C．To help the author understand the importance of reading. D．To introduce the author to other historical topics besides King Arthur. 37．Why does the author mention seeing the image of Henry VIII in the book? A．To describe her fascination with royal marriages. B．To show how this image excited her deep interest in history. C．To highlight how essential illustrations are in a children’s history book. D．To suggest that the image influenced her view of historical events. 38．Which piece of the following advice is the author most likely to give to parents? A．Expose children to history early on because it is important for their growth. B．Prioritize content over engaging illustrations when choosing books for children. C．Introduce children to academics to shape their future careers. D．Encourage children’s exploration of interests with resources. 39．Which of the following proverbs best reflects the main theme of the passage? A．A tiny flame can start a fire. B．You reap what you sow. C．Still waters run deep. D．The early bird catches the worm. (B) Staying Safe After a Disaster Although each type of disaster brings its own unique challenges, the steps listed here are applicable to many different situations you may face. For information on safety and recovery after specific types of disasters and emergencies, please visit https: // www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies.html. →Some natural disasters, such as severe storms or earthquakes, may recur in the form of new storms or aftershocks over the next several days. Take all safety precautions in case the disaster strikes again. For an earthquake aftershock, remember to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON just like you did during the initial earthquake. →If you had to leave your home, return only when local authorities advise that it is safe to do so. Make a careful and thorough inspection of your home: ·Sniff for gas. If you detect natural gas or hear a hissing noise, leave the property immediately and get far away from it. Call the fire department after you reach safety. ·Beware of animals, such as rodents (啮齿动物), snakes, spiders and insects, that may have entered your home. If you suspect your home, tap loudly and often on the floor with a stick to give notice that you are there. Flooding and storms can create conditions in which disease -bearing mosquitoes can breed. Remove standing water (积水) where possible. If you can’t get rid of it, use a commercial product that kills mosquito larvae (幼虫) or apply a thin film of cooking oil on the water. Repeat the application within a few days if rain disturbs the film of oil. ·Water damage, either from a flood or in the aftermath of a fire, is not just unsanitary-it can also be dangerous. From wallboard to rugs, items that are not thoroughly dried can grow mold (霉菌). Keep the windows open and run fans so as to pull moisture out of wooden furniture. Throw out items that have absorbed water and cannot be cleaned or disinfected. →Disasters are upsetting experiences for everyone involved. Some people feel better after a few days, while others find that their stress does not go away as quickly as they would like it to. If you find yourself experiencing some of the feelings and reactions listed below for two weeks or longer, this may be a sign to reach out for additional assistance. ·Having difficulty in eating or sleeping; ·Feeling guilty, helpless or hopeless; ·Avoiding family and friends; ·Suffering from increased physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches. 40．You shouldn’t return home after a disaster if ______. A．the area is still suffering from aftershocks B．you find traces of wild animals around your house C．you catch a smell of gas as soon as you open the door D．your house has not been inspected by local authorities 41．Which of the following actions can cause harm to your health after a flood? A．Throwing away tissues before using them. B．Drying out soft items before using them. C．Driving off hidden animals before moving in again. D．Leaving standing water that can’t be removed where it is. 42．Which of the following survivors need to reach out for the additional assistance mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Peter, who lost contact with his family and best friends. B．Vivian, who found herself in low spirits within the first week of the disaster. C．Libby, who constantly woke up at midnight from bad dreams months after a disaster. D．David, who had no idea how to thoroughly disinfect his house and has been feeling overwhelmed by the cleanup process. (C) eens Are Still Developing Empathy Skills The teen years are often fraught with door-slamming, eye-rolling and seeming insensitivity even by kids who behaved kindly before. Some parents worry that they are doing something wrong or that their children will never think of anyone but themselves. A six -year study shows that biology is partly to blame. In adolescence, critical social skills that are needed for one to feel concern for other people and to understand how they think are undergoing major changes. Adolescence has long been known as prime time for developing cognitive skills (认知能力) for self-regulation and executive function (执行功能). “Cognitive empathy,” or the mental ability to take others’ perspective, begins to rise steadily in girls at the age of 13, according to the study co-authored by Jolien van der Graaff at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. By comparison, boys do not begin until the age of 15 to show increases in perspective-taking, which helps in problem -solving and avoiding conflict. Adolescent boys actually show a temporary decline, between the ages of 13 and 16, in a related skill — “affective empathy (情感同理心),” or the ability to recognize and respond to others’ feelings. This may be the result, at least in part, of a dramatic rise in testosterone (睾酮), the primary male sex hormone, during adolescence, which sparks a desire for dominance and power. Fortunately, the boys’ sensitivity recovers in their late teens. Girls affective empathy remains relatively high and stable throughout adolescence. This doesn’t mean, however, that we can do nothing but just wait for teenagers to develop a feeling of empathy. In fact, parents can help instill affective empathy into their children. Affective empathy is grounded in the limbic region (边缘区) of the brain, which regulates emotions. This capacity begins to develop in infancy. Children learn to practice empathy by watching their parents and by experiencing it themselves-being well treated by adults who sensitively respond to their emotions. While cognitive empathy arises from a different part of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (内侧前额叶皮层), the two abilities are linked. Children’s affective empathy predicts their level of cognitive empathy as teens, says Caspar Van Lissa at Utrecht University. The findings reflect a major expansion in researchers’ understanding of cognitive growth during adolescence. They used to believe that both forms of empathy were fully formed in childhood. Now, it is clear that “the brain regions that support social cognition, which helps us successfully understand and interact with others, continue to change dramatically”, in our teens, says Jennifer Pfeifer at the University of Oregon. Research in her lab also suggests that cognitive empathy rises in teens. The discoveries serve as a new lens for exploring such teen behavior as bullying and drug abuse. 43．Teenage boys are less likely to put themselves in other people’s shoes ______. A．until the age of 15 B．in their late teens C．during adolescence D．between the ages of 13 and 16 44．Adolescent boys tend to ignore the feelings of another person partly because ______.

Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．It encourages creators to shorten their filming B．Therefore, specialists are hired to recommend most popular content. C．The accessible entry point can allow creators to reach a wider audience and increase their chances of success. D．In the current climate, what is it about short-form video content that makes it so appealing? E．It breaks down creative and production barriers even further. F．As a result, shortform platforms have improved their ability to deliver content that matches different audiences’ needs and expectations. The past few years have seen a rapid rise in short-form videos’ popularity. Many people, especially the younger generations, are now heavy users of these short, straightforward video clips. Major social media platforms are offering opportunities for all users to create and share short content. 47 It encourages creator and viewer participation When it comes to viewers, I believe they’re looking for a sense of belonging and the chance to interact with others who share their passions. That’s why it’s very important to promote active viewer participation through interesting content. And short-form content provides that in several ways. Firstly, short-form content creators are able to adapt to trends, memes and culturally important news quickly. This vastly encourages participation and the formation of communities. Secondly, platforms have made content creation simple. This simplicity encourages people to get involved. Content is generally free to access Today, short-form platforms tend to rely on advertising rather than subscription fees. 48 For viewers, the economic benefits are attractive, and short-form content is a good choice for those trying to avoid spending money on a subscription. 49 Longer-form online videos already provided everyone with the possibility to become creators. Still, back in 2010, you needed to get your hands on a camera and have a basic understanding of video editing and publishing in order to get started. Short-form video has made the act of creating content much easier. Short videos with music and filters make it easy for almost anyone to produce and share content and even add special effects. Technology no longer acts as a barrier and limit to a creator’s ability to create content. Content is tailored for you Audiences often want to instantly find something to please themselves — though not necessarily by seeking it out themselves. 50 Thanks to advanced algorithms and machine learning, each viewer gets their own tailored feed of content. IV.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Problems on the Production of Coffee Beans The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full -sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade -grown production to full -sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance. On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full -sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full -sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are quickly dying out. Moreover, the continued spread of full -sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen -giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Besides, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions. On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full -sun coffee fields also threatens human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee -growing techniques are poisoning the water locally and eventually the world’s groundwater. It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade -grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee. 51.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．他忘了往锅里倒油，鸡蛋粘在了锅底。（forget） 53．令我们惊喜的是，我们昨天巧遇的学生知识非常渊博。(range) 54．正是其产品始终如一、坚如磐石的品质，这家国产电子元器件公司才能够驰名中外，成为行业标杆。(It) 55．影片哪吒，改编自中国民间故事，以其生动鲜明的角色，引人入胜的故事情节和高质量的特效，吸引了各个年龄层次的观众。（which） VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese 假设你是明启中学高三学生李明，你校校园广播台计划新增一档文化类节目，节目主题从“Traditional Festivals in My Eyes”，“Cultural Icons I Admire”， “The Joys of Hobbies and Collections”中选择一个，现向全校同学征求意见。写一封邮件给广播台负责人，内容须包括： 1.你推荐的节目主题； 2.你的理由。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 试题 第5页（共12页） 试题 第6页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$■■■■■■■ 2025年高考押题预测卷（上海卷） Il.Grammar and Vocabulary Sectien A 姓名： 之 准考证号 双 24. 顿与标 使度事满 1容烟丝先有白世 2 房特框有正七场透 30.
