Hours are 9:00 am-4:00 pm from Wednesday to Sunday. If you come in summer, peaches, blackberries, red raspberries and sour cherries are available. Apples are ready in late summer, and fall brings green vegetables, potatoes, and dig-your-own peanuts. And a special P. S.(备注) to meat lovers: they pride themselves on their grass-fed beef. Great Country Farms Bluemont, VA Great Country Farms is well-known for its seasonal festivals and fun farm-themed attractions. Their U-pick strawberry fields will open in May. The weekends of May 20-21 and May 27-28 are the yearly Strawberry Jubilee with live music, pie-eating competitions, tasty food, and more. Admission is $10/child and $12/adult, and it’s open daily during 9:00 am-6:00 pm. Waters Orchard (果园) Gaithersburg, MD This is a great place for apple picking. Just come in late summer and fall. After parking, it’s a 5-10 minutes’ walk to the orchard. Hours are 12:00-5:00 pm on Fridays, and 9:00 am-5:00 pm on weekends. Pick-your-own (PYO) pricing is by the peck (配克) —$15/half peck, $22/peck, and an entry fee for two is included. It’s $5/guest after that. Homestead Farm Poolesville, MD Homestead Farm’s PYO season begins a little later than other area farms. The first crop will be tart cherries in June, and other berries will be ripe soon after. Peaches and apples come later. There are also animals to visit (goats, pigs, and chickens), and watching goats climb along the goat walk is always a trip for kids. The farm operates seven days a week, and PYO hours are 9:00 am-5:00 pm. 1. When is suitable to visit Hollin Farms? A. 9:00 am on Monday. B. 10:00 am on Thursday. C. 4:30 pm on Saturday.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个可以自己采摘农产品的农场。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hollin Farms Delaplane, VA中“Hours are 9:00 am-4:00 pm from Wednesday to Sunday.(营业时间为周三至周日上午9点至下午4点。)”可知，星期四上午10点参观Hollin Farms比较合适。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Great Country Farms Bluemont, VA中“The weekends of May 20-21 and May 27-28 are the yearly Strawberry Jubilee with live music, pie-eating competitions, tasty food, and more.(5月20日至21日和5月27日至28日的周末是一年一度的Strawberry Jubilee，有现场音乐，吃派比赛，美味的食物等等。)”可知，5月27日，游客可以在Great Country Farms参加吃派比赛。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Waters Orchard (果园) Gaithersburg, MD中“Pick-your-own (PYO) pricing is by the peck (配克) — 15/halfpeck,15/halfpeck,15/halfpeck,22/peck, and an entry fee for two is included. It’s $5/guest after that.(自选价格按配克出售——15美元/半配克，22美元/配克，包括两人的入场费。之后是每位客人5美元。)”可知，一个三口之家买两配克苹果要花22+22+5=49美元。故选D。 B I was never addicted to skydiving, like many jumpers are, but I definitely enjoyed it. I made my first skydive when I was barely 19 years old. I had been selected to attend the US Air Force Academy’s Freefall school. I was one of a select few who got to attend the course. It wasn’t intended to make us operational paratroopers (作战伞兵), but more so to teach us about accomplishing missions in high-stress situations. And it did exactly that, as we found this training program was the only one in the country that allowed jumpers to perform freefall skydives and pull their own ripcords (开伞索) without a trained instructor jumping alongside them. When I returned to Columbus, Ohio for my second year of college, I wore my basic parachutist badge on purpose because at that time, few students could get it. I looked up the Ohio State Skydiving Club. About a month later, I made my first private skydive and the rest was history. I jumped more and more, only paying for the jumps and necessary training when I had the funds to do it. Eventually, I made 10 skydives, and then it was 20, and I found that I was making jumps at different drop zones. I even bought my own parachute system. I kept jumping on various weekends during my senior year. The last jump I made, however, was in the fall of 2006. I was told that I had a disease which prevented me from skydiving. My skydiving career ended with 55 jumps, with more than 40 minutes of freefall time. I met great people along the way and did some pretty crazy jumps. I’ll never forget meeting Adam Abelow, head of the skydiving club, who gave me a ride to get my first civilian jump, and Jen White, who coached me on many of my jumps. I’ll never forget getting my license and the time my grandparents came to watch me jump. 4. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Training some jumpers for the US Air Force. B. Selecting brave teenagers to attend the course. C. Making trainees excellent operational paratroopers. D. Educating participants to achieve goals under pressure. 5. Why did the author wear his basic parachutist badge after he returned to college? A. It was what he usually did during the course. B. He intended to show off his achievement. C. It was a must for skydiving club members. D. He wanted to inspire other students. 6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To show his regret. B. To sum up his honors. C. To introduce a new topic D. To express his thankfulness. 7. Which word can best describe the author? A. Intelligent. B. Organized. C. Adventurous. D. Cautious. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者是如何与跳伞运动结缘并喜欢上这项运动的，作者介绍了自己从接触跳伞到因疾病被迫结束跳伞经历的过程，以及这段经历中难忘的人和事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“It wasn’t intended to make us operational paratroopers (作战伞兵), but more so to teach us about accomplishing missions in high-stress situations. And it did exactly that, as we found this training program was the only one in the country that allowed jumpers to perform freefall skydives and pull their own ripcords (开伞索) without a trained instructor jumping alongside them.(这个课程并非旨在把我们培养成作战伞兵，而是更多地教会我们如何在高压情况下完成任务。事实证明，它确实做到了这一点，因为我们发现这个培训项目是全国唯一一个允许跳伞者在没有受过专业训练的教练陪同的情况下进行自由落体跳伞并自己拉开开伞索的项目。)”可知，that指代的是前面所说的“teach us about accomplishing missions in high-stress situations(教会我们如何在高压力情况下完成任务)”，即D选项“Educating participants to achieve goals under pressure.(教育参与者在压力下实现目标)”，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When I returned to Columbus, Ohio for my second year of college, I wore my basic parachutist badge on purpose because at that time, few students could get it.(当我回到俄亥俄州哥伦布市读大二时，我故意佩戴了初级跳伞员徽章，因为当时很少有学生能获得它。)”和第一段“I was one of a select few who got to attend the course.(我是被选去参加该课程的少数人之一。)”可推知，作者回到大学后还戴着基本的伞兵徽章的目的是打算炫耀他的成就。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I met great people along the way and did some pretty crazy jumps. I’ll never forget meeting Adam Abelow, head of the skydiving club, who gave me a ride to get my first civilian jump, and Jen White, who coached me on many of my jumps. I’ll never forget getting my license and the time my grandparents came to watch me jump.(一路上我结识了很多很棒的人，也完成了一些相当疯狂的跳伞。我永远不会忘记跳伞俱乐部负责人Adam Abelow开车带我去完成我的首次民用跳伞，也永远不会忘记Jen White指导我完成许多次跳伞。我永远不会忘记自己拿到跳伞执照的那一刻，也永远不会忘记我的祖父母来看我跳伞的时光。)”可推知，作者写最后一段的目的是表达他的感激之情。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Eventually, I made 10 skydives, and then it was 20, and I found that I was making jumps at different drop zones. I even bought my own parachute system.(最终，我跳了10次，接着是20次，我发现自己开始在不同的跳伞区进行跳伞。我甚至买了自己的降落伞系统。)”可知，作者富有冒险精神，adventurous最适合描述作者。故选C。 C Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet? Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的), lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return. The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change. Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo. Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals. 8. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the variety of food. B. To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas. C. To describe the changes of living environment. D. To show the low efficiency of digestive system. 9. What caused pandas’ change in diet? A. The low-metabolic ability. B. The amino acids in meat. C. The Taslrl gene’s inactivation. D. The supplies of bamboo. 10. Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The preference for bamboo. B. The evolutionary feature in eating. C. The unique lifestyle. D. The special appearance. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Evolutionary Mystery of Pandas’ Diet. B. Dominance of Genes in Pandas’ Dietary Habits. C. Digestive System: An Unsolved Puzzle. D. Future Challenges of Pandas’ Diet. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了熊猫饮食方面进化原因及特征。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested.(在它们一天吃掉的12.5公斤竹子中，只有17%被消化。)”可知，第二段提到了这些数字是为了说明消化系统效率低下。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat.(大熊猫转向素食与一种特殊基因Taslrl失活是一致的，这种基因使它们能够品尝肉类中富含的某些氨基酸。)”可知，熊猫的饮食转变是由Taslrl基因失活引起的。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots.(熊猫已经进化到很大程度，以适应它们相对较新的吃竹子的生活方式。熊猫必须抓住又长又细的竹笋。)”和“Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food.(研究人员发现熊猫舌头的表面是不同的。其他熊类和许多食肉动物都有光滑的舌头，而熊猫在舌头表面进化出了微小的突起，用来锉下食物。)”可知，为了应对新的饮食方式的改变，熊猫的爪子进化出“伪拇指”，同时研究也发现，熊猫的舌头表面为了进食，进化出很多微小的突起物，由此可以推断，第四段主要介绍的是熊猫饮食进化的特点，均是为了适应新的饮食的变化。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的), lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.(今天的熊猫不吃肉。然而，它们从过去的时代就保留了很多食肉的适应性。它们的消化系统与食肉时代相比没有太大变化。在它们一天吃掉的12.5公斤竹子中，只有17%被消化。为了生存，大熊猫吃大量的竹子，同时以低代谢、懒惰的生活方式来弥补能量回报的不足。)”可知，本文主要讲的是熊猫饮食方面进化原因及特征，因此最好的题目是A选项“Evolutionary Mystery of Pandas’ Diet.(熊猫饮食的进化之谜。)”。故选A。 D In modern society, many people are slacking off while working. But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career — it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia as you get older. The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” To do the analysis Edwin categorized the cognitive demands of 305 occupations in Norway. More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” Having a routine job with little mental stimulation during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked to a 66% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 37% greater risk of dementia after the age of 70, when compared with having an occupation — that requires more complex thinking. “The occupational environment is vital in promoting cognitive well-being.” said Edwin. “Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise to grow and maintain our muscles, exercising our brain through more challenging work assignments seems to help fight dementia.” “While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. 12. What does the underlined phrase “slacking off” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. working hard B. taking breaks C. showing laziness D. focusing fully 13. Why is Edwin’s research remarkable? A. Because it focused on emerging industries. B. Because it drew inspiration from past studies. C. Because it tracked the subjects for a long term. D. Because it studied Norwegians of a certain age. 14. What makes teaching a cognitively demanding job? A. The emotional labor it involves. B. The number of students and parents. C. The complete lack of repetitive tasks. D. The harmonious relationship it creates. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Activities that can refine people’s skills at work. B. A recommendation for the future research direction. C. Tips for people who want professional advancement. D. Job tasks that can provide new learning opportunities. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了工作中积极动脑对认知能力的益处及研究成果。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“In modern society, many people are slacking off while working. But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career — it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia as you get older. (在现代社会，许多人工作时slacking off。但一项新研究表明，在工作中积极运用大脑，其益处不止于推动职业发展，随着年龄增长，它或许还能保护认知能力，助力预防痴呆)”可知，后文描述根据一项新的研究，在工作中积极使用你的大脑可以给你带来比仅仅提升职业生涯更多的好处。此处与后文形成转折，所以slacking off应表示与“积极使用大脑”相反的意思，即“消极怠工，表现出懒惰”，与showing laziness“表现出懒惰”意思相符。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中““The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” (这项发表在《神经病学》杂志上的重要研究，分析了7000名挪威人的健康和职业数据，从他们30多岁开始追踪，一直到60多岁退休。该研究的主要作者、奥斯陆大学的研究员Trine Edwin博士表示：“许多关于这个主题的其他研究，仅仅关注人们近期从事的工作。但由于挪威有全国性数据库，我们得以追踪人们一生中大部分时间的情况。”)”可知，Edwin的研究之所以引人注目，是因为它长期追踪研究对象。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” (认知要求较高的工作并非基于常规任务，即便有时需要重复操作。埃德温说：“这类工作中有律师、医生、会计以及从事公共服务的人员，但最常见的职业是教师。因为课堂之外以及校园事务中的有效沟通，始终依赖教师对学生不同情况的理解和同理心。”)”可知，教学取决于教师对学生不同情况的理解和教师的同情，即教学是一项涉及情感劳动的工作，这让教学成为一项对认知要求很高的工。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段““While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. (Edwin补充道：“虽然我认为，那些有患痴呆风险的人若能利用职业晋升机会、学习新的工作任务，并在一段时间内提升工作技能，会大有裨益，但还需要进一步研究来明确哪些具体活动对大脑健康最有益处。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了对未来研究方向的建议。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make Time to Write Since a new year has started, time lies before us like a blank page, waiting to be filled with writing. We are all busy people, and we sometimes feel that life is working against our writing ambitions and pushing them aside. Yet the most productive writers are the busiest. ____16____ Overcoming self-doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential. ____17____ Most of the time, the real reason why we avoid writing is that we’re afraid of failing. It’s simpler to complain about being too busy than to face our fears. To solve this problem, we can try to understand what we’re scared of, deal with it, and then focus on moving forward. A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. ____18____ If you successfully meet your target, you could give yourself a small reward: buy a new notebook or pen, go for a long walk, or take a day off from writing and just do something completely different. ____19____ As Henry Ford once said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got”! This could mean writing with a notebook and pen rather than the computer you also use for work. Try varying your approach and see if it helps. Above all, you should prioritize writing over other things. Most successful writers have caring responsibilities, occupations outside the home, and the necessary everyday tasks they all need to complete. Yet they still manage to write. ____20____ So, if you want to make 2025 the year when you get your writing project done, look at how you use your time with a fresh eye. A. Then how can we make sure we get our writing done in 2025? B. So do we need to pursue writing to improve our mental health? C. For example, writing 1,500 words in a week might be realistic. D. Do something different if your current approach isn’t working. E. What they have in common is that they treat writing as important. F. Sitting in front of your computer doesn’t mean the writing will flow. G. We all have a voice in our head that keeps telling us we can’t succeed. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何抽出时间完成写作提出了一些建议。 16题详解】 根据上文“Since a new year has started, time lies before us like a blank page, waiting to be filled with writing. We are all busy people, and we sometimes feel that life is working against our writing ambitions and pushing them aside. Yet the most productive writers are the busiest.(新的一年开始了，时间就像一张白纸摆在我们面前，等着我们去书写。我们都是大忙人，有时我们会觉得生活与我们的写作理想背道而驰，把它们推到一边。然而，最多产的作家往往是最忙碌的)”可知，上文提到了多产的作家是最忙碌的，本句为本段最后一句，故引出后文如何完成写作的建议。故A选项“那么我们如何确保在2025年完成写作呢？”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Overcoming self-doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential.(克服自我怀疑和恐惧是释放你潜力的关键)”可知，上文建议克服自我怀疑和恐惧，本句承接上文，具体说明自我怀疑的表现。故G选项“我们脑海中都有一个声音一直告诉我们，我们不可能成功”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound.(找到更多时间写作的一个简单方法就是给自己一个明确的目标。它需要是SMART：具体的、可衡量的、可实现的、现实的和有时间限制的)”可知，本句承接上文，举例说明如何设定明确的目标。故C选项“例如，一周写1500字可能是现实的”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据后文“As Henry Ford once said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got”! This could mean writing with a notebook and pen rather than the computer you also use for work. Try varying your approach and see if it helps.(正如亨利·福特曾经说过的，“如果你做你一直在做的事情，你会得到你一直得到的”！这可能意味着用笔记本和笔写字，而不是你工作时用的电脑。尝试不同的方法，看看是否有帮助)”可知，本段主要说明了通过做其他的事情或者不同的方法来完成写作。故D选项“如果你目前的方法不起作用，做一些不同的事情”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Above all, you should prioritize writing over other things. Most successful writers have caring responsibilities, occupations outside the home, and the necessary everyday tasks they all need to complete. Yet they still manage to write.(最重要的是，你应该优先考虑写作而不是其他事情。大多数成功的作家都有照顾他人的责任，家庭之外的职业，以及他们都需要完成的必要的日常任务。然而，他们仍然设法写作)”可知，上文提到成功的作家会设法写作，本句总结他们的特点是看重写作，所以设法完成。故E选项“他们的共同之处在于他们都把写作看得很重要”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 How do we define what makes a good conversation? Is it by how many times we laugh? Or is it ____21____ by how we feel afterwards — how deeply the words have ____22____ us? There is one conversation where I can ____23____ almost word-for-word in my head. These words have even ____24____ the course of my life. In 2016, I walked into a small valley in Jordan. A young boy called Faisal saw me kicking football with some kids and ____25____ me. “I saw you playing football.” he told me. “You were very good.” “Thanks,” I replied, “but you’re being too ____26____. I was not good at it.” “Oh yes,” he said. “Your skills are ____27____.

Compared 41. on 42. to slow 43. his 44. a 45. suddenly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了新中式风格，包括其定义、在不同生活领域的传播、在年轻一代中的流行，以及设计师和时尚爱好者对新中式风格的看法和体验 。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：目前一个比较基本的定义是，它是中国传统文化在现代的新翻译。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰Chinese culture，tradition的形容词是traditional，意为“传统的”，故填traditional。 【37题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：新中式服装是最受年轻一代欢迎的领域之一，他们更喜欢将中国传统元素融入日常穿着的服装。空前有one of，空格处用名词复数，故填fields。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：新中式服装是最受年轻一代欢迎的领域之一，他们更喜欢将中国传统元素融入日常穿着的服装。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词younger generations是人，因此空格处用关系代词who，故填who。 【39题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，这激发了中国设计师在设计日常服装时更多地使用传统元素。由So far可知，空格处用现在完成时，主语this是单数，因此空格处是has inspired，故填has inspired。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与传统的汉服或唐装相比，新中式服装以一种更简单的感觉取代了仪式感。句中谓语是exchange，空格处用非谓语动词，neo-Chinese dresses和compare之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作状语，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Compared。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：设计师Zhang Yan注重从中国传统文化中寻找灵感。focus on是固定短语，意为“专注于”，因此空格处用介词on，故填on。 【42题详解】 考查不定式。句意：Zhang说，刺绣让他放慢了生活的节奏。allow sb. to do sth.是固定句式，意为“允许某人做某事”，因此空格处用不定式to slow作宾补。故填to slow。 【43题详解】 考查物主代词。句意：他现在正试图通过他的服装把这种悠闲的态度传递给别人。此处和clothing之间是所属关系，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词his，故填his。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：时尚爱好者Lin Taile表示，六年前，她把阿姨扔掉的一件夹克和一条牛仔裤搭配在一起，这激发了她对中国新时尚的热情。lover是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，fashion是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：Lin注意到，当她在巴黎穿上“新中国装”时，一位当地的街头摄影师突然走近她，说：“你毫不费力地以一种时尚的方式展示了你的文化。”空格处用副词suddenly修饰动词approached，suddenly意为“突然”，故填suddenly。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假设你校学生会就“学生使用社交媒体的主要目的”进行了一次调查，调查结果如下表所示。请你根据图表内容，以Students’ Use of Social Media为题写一篇短文。 内容包括：1.调查结果；2.分析原因；3.个人看法。 注意：1.词数80左右；2.短文的题目和首句已为你写好。 Students’ Use of Social Media A recent survey conducted by our student union reveals the primary purposes of students using social media. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Students’ Use of Social Media A recent survey conducted by our student union reveals the primary purposes of students using social media. 45% of students use it for learning, as they can access a wealth of educational resources. 40% consider it a way of entertainment, like watching funny videos or listening to music.

When he set off for home, Margarito’s mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm. Worried about her son's safety, she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival. With his mother's words in mind, Margrito approached the main road carefully. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Eager to get home, Margarito began to drive faster. Two hours later, he came to a bumpy mountain road that had been flooded by a creek（小溪）.Margarito, driving a four-wheel truck, figured that he would be OK. At that moment, he didn't realize that such a thought would be a big mistake. It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took place: The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away. Margarito’s problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle, making it difficult for him to open the driver's side door. Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly, Margarito was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do. On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named Steve and his nephew Mike, who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They witnessed the horrible incident, and when Margarito's truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek, Steve quickly began to take action. First, he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck. 注意： 1．所续词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Next, Steve turned to Mike and yelled," Give me a rock!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Next, he turned to Mike and yelled, “Give me a rock!” With the rock in hand, he hit the window over and over , but in vain. He didn’t give up easily; instead, he balanced himself, leaned back and threw the rock at the window again with all his strength. Fortunately, this time he made it — the glass broke. To his relief, it didn’t hurt Margarito, who reached out for Steve’s hand and was rescued. Without delay, the two men escaped and returned to safety. Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang. With trembling hands, Margarito took out the phone and answered it. “Are you home yet? Everything’s good?” His mother’s anxious voice came over. Tears welled up in his eyes on hearing the familiar voice of concern. Margarito choked up as he explained what had happened. Hanging up the phone, he thanked Steve and Mike sincerely. Cold as the rain was, great warmth filled his heart like never before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Margarito开车去看望住在乡下的母亲，在回家的路上遇到意外情况，大雨把他的车冲进了河道，Margarito很难打开车门，他受了伤又吓的浑身发抖，认为自己死定了，幸运的是，Margarito后面的送货员Steve和他的侄子Mike目睹了这一切，他们迅速采取行动营救Jack。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接着，Steve转向Mike喊道：‘给我一块石头！’”可知，第一段可描写Steve和Mike竭尽所能成功营救Margarito的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Margarito正准备感谢Steve和Mike，这时他夹克口袋里的手机响了。”可知，第二段可描写Margarito在电话里向母亲解释发生了什么，并向Steve和Mike表示感谢。 续写线索：砸车窗——得救——接电话——解释事情经过——表示感谢——心里感到温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①成功：make it/succeed ②使受伤，伤到：hurt/injure ③营救，得救：rescue/save 情绪类 ①担心：anxious/worried ②感谢：thank/appreciate/show his appreciation/show his gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] To his relief, it didn’t hurt Margarito, who reached out for Steve’s hand and was rescued.（由关系代词who引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] Margarito choked up as he explained what had happened.（由as引导时间状语从句和what引导宾语从句） [高分句型3] Cold as the rain was, great warmth filled his heart like never before.（as引导的让步状语从句的倒装） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 泸县普通高中共同体2025年春期高二半期联合考试 英语试题 第I卷（选择题，共95分） 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题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。 1.

B I was never addicted to skydiving, like many jumpers are, but I definitely enjoyed it. I made my first skydive when I was barely 19 years old. I had been selected to attend the US Air Force Academy’s Freefall school. I was one of a select few who got to attend the course. It wasn’t intended to make us operational paratroopers (作战伞兵), but more so to teach us about accomplishing missions in high-stress situations. And it did exactly that, as we found this training program was the only one in the country that allowed jumpers to perform freefall skydives and pull their own ripcords (开伞索) without a trained instructor jumping alongside them. When I returned to Columbus, Ohio for my second year of college, I wore my basic parachutist badge on purpose because at that time, few students could get it. I looked up the Ohio State Skydiving Club. About a month later, I made my first private skydive and the rest was history. I jumped more and more, only paying for the jumps and necessary training when I had the funds to do it. Eventually, I made 10 skydives, and then it was 20, and I found that I was making jumps at different drop zones. I even bought my own parachute system. I kept jumping on various weekends during my senior year. The last jump I made, however, was in the fall of 2006. I was told that I had a disease which prevented me from skydiving. My skydiving career ended with 55 jumps, with more than 40 minutes of freefall time. I met great people along the way and did some pretty crazy jumps. I’ll never forget meeting Adam Abelow, head of the skydiving club, who gave me a ride to get my first civilian jump, and Jen White, who coached me on many of my jumps. I’ll never forget getting my license and the time my grandparents came to watch me jump. 4. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Training some jumpers for the US Air Force. B. Selecting brave teenagers to attend the course. C. Making trainees excellent operational paratroopers. D. Educating participants to achieve goals under pressure. 5. Why did the author wear his basic parachutist badge after he returned to college? A. It was what he usually did during the course. B. He intended to show off his achievement. C It was a must for skydiving club members. D. He wanted to inspire other students. 6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To show his regret. B. To sum up his honors. C. To introduce a new topic D. To express his thankfulness. 7 Which word can best describe the author? A. Intelligent. B. Organized. C. Adventurous. D. Cautious. C Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet? Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的), lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return. The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change. Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo. Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals. 8. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the variety of food. B. To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas. C. To describe the changes of living environment. D. To show the low efficiency of digestive system. 9.

But according to a new study, engaging your brain actively at work can benefit you in more ways than just advancing your career — it may also safeguard your cognitive abilities and help prevent dementia as you get older. The significant study, published in Neurology, analyzed health and occupational data on 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many other studies on this topic have only looked at the most recent jobs that people have,” said lead author Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University of Oslo, “but due to the national database we have in Norway, we were able to follow people over much of their lifetimes.” To do the analysis, Edwin categorized the cognitive demands of 305 occupations in Norway. More cognitively demanding jobs were not based on routine tasks, even though repetition was required at times. “There were lawyers, doctors, accountants, and people in public service in this group, but the most common occupation was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective communication outside of the classroom and school matters. It always depends on teachers’ understandings of students’ different situations and teachers’ empathy.” Having a routine job with little mental stimulation during your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked to a 66% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 37% greater risk of dementia after the age of 70, when compared with having an occupation — that requires more complex thinking. “The occupational environment is vital in promoting cognitive well-being.” said Edwin. “Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise to grow and maintain our muscles, exercising our brain through more challenging work assignments seems to help fight dementia.” “While I’d guess that people at risk for dementia would be well served by taking advantage of professional advancement opportunities, learning new job tasks, and refining their skills at work over a period of time, further studies will need to clarify which specific activities have the most brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added. 12. What does the underlined phrase “slacking off” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. working hard B. taking breaks C. showing laziness D. focusing fully 13. Why is Edwin’s research remarkable? A. Because it focused on emerging industries. B. Because it drew inspiration from past studies. C. Because it tracked the subjects for a long term. D. Because it studied Norwegians of a certain age. 14. What makes teaching a cognitively demanding job? A. The emotional labor it involves. B. The number of students and parents. C. The complete lack of repetitive tasks. D. The harmonious relationship it creates. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Activities that can refine people’s skills at work. B. A recommendation for the future research direction. C. Tips for people who want professional advancement. D. Job tasks that can provide new learning opportunities. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make Time to Write Since a new year has started, time lies before us like a blank page, waiting to be filled with writing. We are all busy people, and we sometimes feel that life is working against our writing ambitions and pushing them aside. Yet the most productive writers are the busiest. ____16____ Overcoming self-doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential. ____17____ Most of the time, the real reason why we avoid writing is that we’re afraid of failing. It’s simpler to complain about being too busy than to face our fears. To solve this problem, we can try to understand what we’re scared of, deal with it, and then focus on moving forward. A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. ____18____ If you successfully meet your target, you could give yourself a small reward: buy a new notebook or pen, go for a long walk, or take a day off from writing and just do something completely different. ____19____ As Henry Ford once said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got”! This could mean writing with a notebook and pen rather than the computer you also use for work. Try varying your approach and see if it helps. Above all, you should prioritize writing over other things. Most successful writers have caring responsibilities, occupations outside the home, and the necessary everyday tasks they all need to complete. Yet they still manage to write. ____20____ So, if you want to make 2025 the year when you get your writing project done, look at how you use your time with a fresh eye. A. Then how can we make sure we get our writing done in 2025? B. So do we need to pursue writing to improve our mental health? C. For example, writing 1,500 words in a week might be realistic. D. Do something different if your current approach isn’t working. E. What they have in common is that they treat writing as important. F. Sitting in front of your computer doesn’t mean the writing will flow. G. We all have a voice in our head that keeps telling us we can’t succeed. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 How do we define what makes a good conversation?

Later, as he ____28____ how the world was, he told me a saying: “Give without remembering; take without ____29____.” Faisal’s words left me in deep thought. His growing background was quite different from mine. Yet he held such ____30____ philosophy of life. The more I travel, the more I see that the world is ____31____ a good place. There is more that connects us than divides us, about which I’m quite certain. I will again have the ____32____ to be part of these similarly remarkable conversations, and each will be special and may even leave a ____33____ in my life. It is still one of the most exciting ____34____ of travel for me. I’m forever ____35____ for that possibility. 21.

When he set off for home, Margarito’s mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm. Worried about her son's safety, she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival. With his mother's words in mind, Margrito approached the main road carefully. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Eager to get home, Margarito began to drive faster. Two hours later, he came to a bumpy mountain road that had been flooded by a creek（小溪）.Margarito, driving a four-wheel truck, figured that he would be OK. At that moment, he didn't realize that such a thought would be a big mistake. It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took place: The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away. Margarito’s problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle, making it difficult for him to open the driver's side door. Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly, Margarito was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do. On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named Steve and his nephew Mike, who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They witnessed the horrible incident, and when Margarito's truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek, Steve quickly began to take action. First, he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck. 注意： 1．所续词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Next, Steve turned to Mike and yelled," Give me a rock!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
