(参观位于城市边界外的美国国家航空航天局约翰逊航天中心，为游客提供了一个参观阿波罗任务期间使用的宇航员训练设施的机会。)”可知，对于对太空探索感兴趣的家庭来说，休斯顿的四季酒店是最佳选择，因为可以去参观美国国家航空航天局约翰逊航天中心。故选D项。 B When pianist Zhang Jialin, a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, was tasked in 2018 with selecting pieces for the entrance exam for the master’s program in vocal accompaniment, he came across a hidden treasure: art songs by the German composer Ellinor Valesby (1894 — 1969). The pieces were composed using Chinese classical poetry, and immediately sparked Zhang’s interest. Art song is written for solo voice and piano accompaniment, and combines poetry and music. One of the pieces, Wave-washing Sand: Rain Murmurs From Across the Curtain, based on a poem by Li Yu — the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period — captured Zhang’s imagination. “I played it on the piano and was struck by its beauty,” he says. “The melody was graceful, the harmony was delicate, and the overall feeling was so poetic. It had a perfect level of difficulty — not too easy, nor too hard — making it ideal for the exam, and, more importantly, unfamiliar enough to ensure fairness for the candidates.” As he dove deeper into Valesby’s work and the world of early Chinese art songs, he uncovered a musical landscape full of forgotten masterpieces. On March 8, he and his wife, singer Gan Lulu, released their new album, Treasures From the Past Century. It features not only compositions by Valesby, but also by notable Chinese composers. The couple performed tracks from the album at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, sharing their rediscovery. Zhang and Gan have been touring China since June 2023, performing and promoting the songs. Their concerts have been met with great enthusiasm. “Many people are hearing these pieces for the first time, but they are completely attracted and they let the music take them on a journey,” Gan says. In bringing these early Chinese art songs back to life, Zhang and Gan are not just breathing new life into forgotten music — they are reconnecting listeners to a cultural heritage that has long been overlooked. 4. What does the underlined word “captured” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Lost. B. Caught. C. Created. D. Expressed. 5. What was the key reason why Zhang chose Wave-washing Sand for the entrance exam? A. Its melody. B. Its difficulty. C. Its popularity. D. Its unfamiliarity. 6. What can we know about Zhang Jialin and Gan Lulu’s concerts? A. Short-lived. B. Little-known. C. Well-received. D. New-fashioned. 7. What is the main purpose of Zhang Jialin and Gan Lulu’s work? A To create new art songs. B. To gain more reputation. C. To reawaken forgotten music. D. To show their musical talents. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7.

(“我用钢琴弹奏了它，被它的美所震撼，”他说。“旋律优美，和声细腻，整体感觉充满诗意。”)”可知，这首曲子吸引了张佳林，让他产生了兴趣。所以“captured”意思与“caught (吸引)”相近。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“It had a perfect level of difficulty — not too easy, nor too hard — making it ideal for the exam, and, more importantly, unfamiliar enough to ensure fairness for the candidates. (它的难度恰到好处 —— 既不太容易，也不太难 —— 非常适合考试，更重要的是，它足够陌生，以确保考生的公平性。)”可知，张佳林选择《浪淘沙》作为入学考试曲目，关键原因是它的陌生性，这样能保证考试的公平性。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Zhang and Gan have been touring China since June 2023, performing and promoting the songs. Their concerts have been met with great enthusiasm. “Many people are hearing these pieces for the first time, but they are completely attracted and they let the music take them on a journey,” Gan says. (张佳林和甘璐璐自2023年6月以来一直在中国巡回演出，表演并推广这些歌曲。他们的音乐会受到了极大的欢迎。甘璐璐说：“很多人都是第一次听到这些曲子，但他们完全被吸引住了，他们让音乐带他们踏上了一段旅程。”)”可知，他们的音乐会受到了观众的热烈欢迎。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In bringing these early Chinese art songs back to life, Zhang and Gan are not just breathing new life into forgotten music — they are reconnecting listeners to a cultural heritage that has long been overlooked. (在让这些早期的中国艺术歌曲重获生机的过程中，张佳林和甘璐璐不仅为被遗忘的音乐注入了新的活力，还让听众重新连接起了长期被忽视的文化遗产。)”可知，张佳林和甘璐璐工作的主要目的是让被遗忘的音乐重新焕发生机。故选C项。 C According to a landmark study published in the journal Science, total butterfly abundance in the U. S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. “This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general,” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist at Binghamton University in New York and coauthor of the study. Initially, Grames says she expected to see declines for many species, but that once all the data was expanded to cover the entire nation, she also expected to see enough increases to wash out the bad news. Unfortunately, that was not the case. “It’s kind of an overwhelming amount of loss and decline,” she says. For fear that you think the widespread declines only involve a handful of little-known species that were already close to extinction, the scientists found that 13 times as many butterfly species were in decline compared to those that were increasing. More than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year time period. This includes 22 species that have declined more than 90 percent, including some of the commonest and most-loved species. Scientists say the butterfly losses can result from many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use. While climate change or agricultural pesticide use require big society shifts, there are some things each of us can do to help butterflies. “Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat — can have a huge impact on the population,” says Grames. “If you’re improving habitat for elephants, let’s say, you’re going to be waiting decades before you see results of that,” she says. “If you improve habitats for butterflies that can have one to three generations per year, you’re going to see a pretty immediate increase in population.” “I think that’s one of the most optimistic things,” says Grames. Butterflies “do have the ability to bounce back, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” 8. In Paragraph 1, the author presents ________. A. a popular belief B. a worrying warning C. a common-held view D. a theoretical assumption 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 about the research? A. The most-loved species are extinct. B. Even common species are in trouble. C. Most butterfly species are on the rise. D. The study mainly focuses on rare species. 10. What does the author want to explain by mentioning elephants? A. To illustrate the difficulty of elephant conservation. B. To emphasize the importance of habitat improvement. C. To highlight the rapid recovery potential of butterflies. D. To show the similarity between elephants and butterflies. 11. What does Grames think of the future of butterflies? A. Eventful. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Insignificant. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项发表于《科学》杂志的具有里程碑意义的研究，研究显示2000年至2020年间美国所有蝴蝶物种的总体数量下降了22%，分析了蝴蝶数量下降的原因，并指出人们可以通过改善蝴蝶栖息地等助力其种群恢复，蝴蝶数量仍有回升希望。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段 “According to a landmark study published in the journal Science, total butterfly abundance in the U. S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. “This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general,” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist at Binghamton University in New York and coauthor of the study. (根据发表在《科学》杂志上的一项具有里程碑意义的研究，在2000年至2020年间，美国所有蝴蝶物种的总体数量减少了22%。纽约宾厄姆顿大学的保护生物学家、该研究的合著者伊莉莎・格雷姆斯（Eliza Grames）表示：“这是一个警钟。人们看到这个数字时应该感到非常非常担忧，不仅是为蝴蝶担忧，也应该为整个昆虫界的状况感到担忧。”)”可知，作者在第一段呈现了一个令人担忧的警告。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段后两句“More than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year time period. This includes 22 species that have declined more than 90 percent, including some of the commonest and most-loved species. (在这20年里，超过100个物种的数量下降幅度超过了50%。其中包括22个数量下降超过90%的物种，这其中就有一些最常见、最受喜爱的物种。)”可推知，即使是常见的蝴蝶物种也面临着困境。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat — can have a huge impact on the population,” says Grames. “If you’re improving habitat for elephants, let’s say, you’re going to be waiting decades before you see results of that,” she says. “If you improve habitats for butterflies that can have one to three generations per year, you’re going to see a pretty immediate increase in population.” (“因为昆虫的世代周期很短，所以即使是对环境进行适度的改变 —— 比如种植本土花卉或创造栖息地 —— 也会对其种群数量产生巨大影响，”格雷姆斯说。“比如说，如果你在改善大象的栖息地，那你要等上几十年才能看到成效，”她说。“如果你改善蝴蝶的栖息地，蝴蝶每年可以繁殖一到三代，你很快就会看到其数量显著增加。”)”可知，作者提到大象是为了通过对比，突出蝴蝶具有快速恢复种群数量的潜力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I think that’s one of the most optimistic things,” says Grames. Butterflies “do have the ability to bounce back, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” (“我认为这是最乐观的事情之一，”格雷姆斯说。如果我们努力采取保护行动，蝴蝶“确实有能力恢复数量。”)”可知，格雷姆斯认为蝴蝶的未来是有希望的。故选C项。 D In a pioneering achievement, scientists have successfully transformed light into a “supersolid,” a state of matter that exhibits characteristics of both solids and liquids in the meantime. This remarkable discovery, published in the journal Science, paves the way for novel advancements in condensed-matter (凝聚态物) physics. A supersolid is a unique state of matter governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. In this state, particles form an organized, crystal structure like a solid, yet they can move freely and fluidly like a liquid without stickness. The lack of stickness means that supersolids can quickly pipe themselves out of any containers. Ordinary solids are typically static and do not move on their own. However, supersolids possess the ability to change direction and density based on particle interactions while still keeping an orderly network structure. The formation of supersolids requires extremely low temperatures, usually close to absolute zero (minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 273.15 degrees Celsius). While supersolids have been previously created from atomic gases, the recent research employed a novel mechanism involving “polariton (极化子) “ systems. Polaritons are multiple particles formed by the strong coupling of light and quasiparticles (准粒子) through electromagnetic interactions. These polaritons can concentrate into the lowest possible energy state, similar to certain atomic gases. Namely, light is combined with matter, and together, they can be condensed into a supersolid. The study of supersolids is crucial because it allows us to observe the effects of tiny interactions between particles without the interference of temperature. By examining the behavior and characteristics of supersolids, we gain insights into the fundamental ways in which atoms and particles are organized. This knowledge helps us understand the world at a basic level. With further research and development, supersolids hold great potential for various applications. They could be used in quantum computing, superconductors, frictionless oils, and potentially many other applications that we have yet to imagine. The creation of a supersolid from light represents a significant leap forward in this field. 12 What is a supersolid according to the passage? A. A state of matter that exists only at extremely high temperatures. B. A state of matter that is both solid and liquid at the same time. C. A state of matter that is completely solid without liquid properties. D. A state of matter that is completely liquid without solid properties. 13. What is one of the unique characteristics of supersolids compared to ordinary solids? A. Supersolids can move on their own. B. Supersolids are always in a liquid state. C. Supersolids require high temperatures to form. D. Supersolids cannot change direction or density. 14. What is the role of polaritons in creating the supersolids in Paragraph 4? A. Polaritons provide the necessary heat to form the supersolid. B. Polaritons allow light to be condensed into a supersolid state. C. Polaritons are used to create a stronger electromagnetic field. D. Polaritons are used to increase the stickness of the supersolid, 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of further research into supersolids. B. The process of transforming light into a supersolid. C. The features and potential applications of supersolids. D. The history and potential value of supersolid research. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家成功将光转化为“超固体”这一开创性成果。文章阐述了超固体的定义、特性，介绍了此次研究中利用极化子系统创造超固体的机制，还说明了研究超固体的重要性以及其在量子计算等领域的潜在应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In a pioneering achievement, scientists have successfully transformed light into a “supersolid,” a state of matter that exhibits characteristics of both solids and liquids in the meantime. (在一项开创性的成果中，科学家们成功地将光转化为一种“超固体”，这是一种同时具有固体和液体特性的物质状态。)”以及第二段前两句“A supersolid is a unique state of matter governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. In this state, particles form an organized, crystal structure like a solid, yet they can move freely and fluidly like a liquid without stickness. (超固体是一种由量子力学原理支配的独特物质状态。在这种状态下，粒子形成像固体一样有组织的晶体结构，但它们可以像液体一样自由流畅地移动而没有粘性。)”可知，超固体是一种同时具有固体和液体特性的物质状态。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“Ordinary solids are typically static and do not move on their own. However, supersolids possess the ability to change direction and density based on particle interactions while still keeping an orderly network structure. (普通固体通常是静态的，不会自行移动。然而，超固体具有根据粒子间的相互作用改变方向和密度的能力，同时仍保持有序的网络结构。)”可知，与普通固体相比，超固体的独特特征之一是它可以自行移动。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“While supersolids have been previously created from atomic gases, the recent research employed a novel mechanism involving “polariton (极化子) “ systems. Polaritons are multiple particles formed by the strong coupling of light and quasiparticles (准粒子) through electromagnetic interactions. These polaritons can concentrate into the lowest possible energy state, similar to certain atomic gases. Namely, light is combined with matter, and together, they can be condensed into a supersolid. (虽然以前超固体是由原子气体形成的，但最近的研究采用了一种涉及“极化子”系统的新机制。极化子是由光和准粒子通过电磁相互作用强烈耦合形成的多种粒子。这些极化子可以聚集到尽可能低的能量状态，类似于某些原子气体。也就是说，光与物质结合在一起，它们可以凝聚成超固体。)”可知，极化子的作用是使光凝聚成超固体状态。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段介绍了科学家成功将光转化为超固体这一成果，第二段和第三段介绍了超固体的定义和特性，第四段介绍了此次研究中利用极化子系统创造超固体的机制，第五段说明了研究超固体的重要性，第六段阐述了超固体在量子计算等领域的潜在应用。所以文章主要是关于超固体的特征和潜在应用。故选C项。 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。 Is walking backward better? Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible ways to stay fit but some people assume that taking a few steps in reverse (反向) could unlock even greater benefits. This seemingly unconventional movement, known as backward walking or retro walking, is gaining attention for improving balance, strengthening underused muscles, and even sharpening cognitive function. ___16___ Benefits of walking backward. Unlike forward walking, which primarily engages the ankles, walking backward shifts the workload to the hips and knees. This minor change in movement activates different muscle groups, offering unique benefits for strength and mobility. Janet Dufek, a nutrition sciences professor at the University of Nevada, found that retro walking increases low back and leg flexibility, reduces low back pain, and improves balance and stability. ___17___ According to the American College of Sports Medicine, retro walking burns 40 percent more calories per minute than lively forward walking. A workout for the brain too. Emerging research suggests that walking backward does more than strengthen muscles. ___18___ This was proved in a 2019 study which found that participants who walked backward for 10 to 15 minutes three to four times a week showed greater improvements in cognitive functioning and memory than those who stepped forward or remained inactive. ___19___ Not everyone is fully convinced about the benefits of retro walking, though. “The evidence for backward walking training mostly comes from physical therapy, where very small studies show that this type of training may help people with knee issues when added to a regular physical therapy program,” says Jonathan Jarry, a science communicator in McGill University. “For the rest of us, we are left with an odd-looking exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.” Haas adds. ___20___ “Just be careful in your practice. Use of a treadmill (跑步机) can reduce these risks,” says Dufek. “Ensure that your walking space is safe without trip danger. You can always use a walking partner to be your ‘eye’ when you cannot see.” A. It also sharpens cognitive function. B. Is walking backward really better? C. But the benefits go beyond these. D. Still, safety is key for those willing to try it. E. However, the improvement in flexibility is not always obvious. F. Here are some practical tips to make retro walking practice as pleasant as possible. G. Now, researchers are uncovering just how influential this small change in movement can be. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了倒着走（retro walking）的好处，同时也提到了一些人对此的不同看法以及倒着走时的安全注意事项。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible ways to stay fit, but some people assume that taking a few steps in reverse could unlock even greater benefits. This seemingly unconventional movement, known as backward walking or retro walking, is gaining attention for improving balance, strengthening underused muscles, and even sharpening cognitive function. (散步是保持健康最简单、最容易做到的方式之一，但有些人认为，倒着走几步可能会带来更大的益处。这种看似非传统的运动，即倒走，因其有助于改善平衡、锻炼较少使用的肌肉，甚至提高认知功能而受到关注。)”以及下文“Benefits of walking backward. (倒着走的好处。)”可知，此空需起到承上启下的作用。G选项“Now, researchers are uncovering just how influential this small change in movement can be.

(这在2019年的一项研究中得到了证实，该研究发现，每周三到四次倒着走10到15分钟的参与者，在认知功能和记忆力方面的改善比正着走或不活动的参与者更大。)”可知，此空应具体说明倒着走在认知功能方面的作用。A选项“It also sharpens cognitive function. (它还能提高认知功能。)”与上文“does more than strengthen muscles”相呼应，且引出下文的研究证明。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Not everyone is fully convinced about the benefits of retro walking, though. “The evidence for backward walking training mostly comes from physical therapy, where very small studies show that this type of training may help people with knee issues when added to a regular physical therapy program,” says Jonathan Jarry, a science communicator in McGill University. (不过，并非所有人都完全相信倒着走的益处。麦吉尔大学的科学传播者乔纳森・贾里表示：“倒走训练的相关证据大多来自物理治疗领域，一些规模非常小的研究表明，在常规物理治疗方案中加入这种训练，可能会对有膝盖问题的人有所帮助。”)”和设空位置可知，此空应作为段落主题句引出对倒着走好处存在的不同看法。B 选项 “Is walking backward really better? (倒着走真的更好吗？)”以问句形式引出了对倒着走好处的探讨。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文““For the rest of us, we are left with an odd-looking exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.” Haas adds. (哈斯补充道：“对于我们其他人来说，这是一项看起来很奇怪的锻炼，不太可能比常规锻炼效果更好，而且还增加了绊倒自己的风险。”)”以及下文 ““Just be careful in your practice. Use of a treadmill (跑步机) can reduce these risks,” says Dufek. “Ensure that your walking space is safe without trip danger. You can always use a walking partner to be your ‘eye’ when you cannot see.” (杜菲克说：“训练时一定要小心。使用跑步机可以降低这些风险。要确保你行走的空间安全，没有绊倒的危险。当你看不见时，你可以找一个陪你走路的人来当你的‘眼睛’。”)”可知，此空应强调安全的重要性。D选项“Still, safety is key for those willing to try it. (不过，对于那些愿意尝试的人来说，安全是关键。)”既承接了上文提到的危险，又引出了下文的安全建议，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Samuel loved animals since childhood.

The first observes wild ____40____ (goose) migrating south; the second humorously suggests sparrows “turning into” clams due ____41____ their similar markings and colors; the third celebrates golden chrysanthemums (菊花) in bloom — earning the lunar month of Cold Dew the title “Chrysanthemum Month.” This season inspires outdoor traditions.

When I was one year old, my mum bought me a toy with a xylophone (木琴), drums, all kinds of instruments. The moment I saw the toy, I fell in love with it. It was at this time that Cynthia learned her son must be into music. However, my music career almost didn’t happen. When I was in secondary school, I started playing rugby (橄榄球). There were three things I was really interested in: languages, sports and music. But I decided that I wanted to focus on sports for the time being. My rugby career took me all over the world on tours in South Africa, Europe and elsewhere. When I was around 16 years old, I got an injury. It was quite severe, keeping me out of the field for several months. And my doctor informed me that I could no longer continue playing professional rugby. During this period of recovery, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life and my passions. I realized that injuries had kept me from being a professional player. Although I loved rugby, music had always been a part of me. Music was something I had never truly let go of, even when I was fully buried in my rugby career. After much thought, I decided to pick up the guitar again and start writing songs. My mum was thrilled when I told her I wanted to return to music. She had always believed in my musical talent. After moving away from rugby, with her support, I began taking music lessons and discovered that I possessed a wealth of creativity and emotion to channel into my music. I loved singing and continued my music lessons for years, even as I was preparing to go to university. One day, a record producer approached my music teacher to inquire whether she knew of anyone interested in joining a band, so my teacher asked me whether to audition (试唱). 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 With a slight hesitation, I asked my mum for help with this audition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As audition day came, I was a mixture of nerves and excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With a slight hesitation, I asked my mum for help with this audition. She hugged me tightly and said, “Darling, this is the chance you’ve been waiting for. Remember how much you love music and how far you’ve come. You have a unique voice and style, and I’m sure they’ll be blown away.” Her words were like a warm breeze, calming my jitters. She helped me choose the perfect songs, practiced vocal techniques with me, and even gave me tips on stage presence. With her unwavering support, I felt a new surge of confidence and began to look forward to the audition with anticipation.​ As audition day came, I was a mixture of nerves and excitement. Stepping into the audition room, I took a deep breath and started singing. My voice filled the room, steady and confident. When I finished, the producers nodded approvingly. I had made it! Overjoyed, I rushed home to share the news with my mum, grateful for her love and support that made my musical dream come true. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物的音乐追求为线索，讲述了作者从热爱橄榄球到因伤放弃，转而重拾音乐，在母亲的支持下获得乐队试唱机会的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“我略带犹豫地向妈妈寻求这次试唱的帮助。”可知，第一段续写妈妈给予作者鼓励和实际帮助，让作者重燃信心。 ②由第二段首句“试唱当天，我既紧张又兴奋。”可知，第二段续写作者在试唱时的表现以及最终成功入选，向妈妈分享喜悦。 2.续写线索：寻求妈妈帮助——妈妈鼓励与指导——试唱当天——稳定发挥——成功入选——分享喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②练习：practice/exercise ③分享：share/commune 情感类： ①紧张：jitters/nervousness ②喜悦：overjoyed/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型 1] She helped me choose the perfect songs, practiced vocal techniques with me, and even gave me tips on stage presence.（运用了and连接的并列谓语结构） [高分句型 2] Overjoyed, I rushed home to share the news with my mum, grateful for her love and support that made my musical dream come true.（运用了形容词短语“Overjoyed”作状语，以及that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 咸阳市2025年高考模拟检测（三） 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试卷共10页，全卷满分150分，答题时间为120分钟； 2. 答卷前，务必将答题卡上密封线内的各项目填写清楚； 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试题不回收。 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。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B When pianist Zhang Jialin, a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, was tasked in 2018 with selecting pieces for the entrance exam for the master’s program in vocal accompaniment, he came across a hidden treasure: art songs by the German composer Ellinor Valesby (1894 — 1969). The pieces were composed using Chinese classical poetry, and immediately sparked Zhang’s interest. Art song is written for solo voice and piano accompaniment, and combines poetry and music. One of the pieces, Wave-washing Sand: Rain Murmurs From Across the Curtain, based on a poem by Li Yu — the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period — captured Zhang’s imagination. “I played it on the piano and was struck by its beauty,” he says. “The melody was graceful, the harmony was delicate, and the overall feeling was so poetic. It had a perfect level of difficulty — not too easy, nor too hard — making it ideal for the exam, and, more importantly, unfamiliar enough to ensure fairness for the candidates.” As he dove deeper into Valesby’s work and the world of early Chinese art songs, he uncovered a musical landscape full of forgotten masterpieces. On March 8, he and his wife, singer Gan Lulu, released their new album, Treasures From the Past Century. It features not only compositions by Valesby, but also by notable Chinese composers. The couple performed tracks from the album at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, sharing their rediscovery. Zhang and Gan have been touring China since June 2023, performing and promoting the songs. Their concerts have been met with great enthusiasm. “Many people are hearing these pieces for the first time, but they are completely attracted and they let the music take them on a journey,” Gan says. In bringing these early Chinese art songs back to life, Zhang and Gan are not just breathing new life into forgotten music — they are reconnecting listeners to a cultural heritage that has long been overlooked. 4.

S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. “This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general,” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist at Binghamton University in New York and coauthor of the study. Initially Grames says she expected to see declines for many species, but that once all the data was expanded to cover the entire nation, she also expected to see enough increases to wash out the bad news. Unfortunately, that was not the case. “It’s kind of an overwhelming amount of loss and decline,” she says. For fear that you think the widespread declines only involve a handful of little-known species that were already close to extinction, the scientists found that 13 times as many butterfly species were in decline compared to those that were increasing. More than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year time period. This includes 22 species that have declined more than 90 percent, including some of the commonest and most-loved species. Scientists say the butterfly losses can result from many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use. While climate change or agricultural pesticide use require big society shifts, there are some things each of us can do to help butterflies. “Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat — can have a huge impact on the population,” says Grames. “If you’re improving habitat for elephants, let’s say, you’re going to be waiting decades before you see results of that,” she says. “If you improve habitats for butterflies that can have one to three generations per year, you’re going to see a pretty immediate increase in population.” “I think that’s one of the most optimistic things,” says Grames. Butterflies “do have the ability to bounce back, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” 8. In Paragraph 1, the author presents ________. A. a popular belief B. a worrying warning C. a common-held view D. a theoretical assumption 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 about the research? A. The most-loved species are extinct. B. Even common species are in trouble. C. Most butterfly species are on the rise. D. The study mainly focuses on rare species. 10. What does the author want to explain by mentioning elephants? A. To illustrate the difficulty of elephant conservation. B. To emphasize the importance of habitat improvement. C. To highlight the rapid recovery potential of butterflies. D. To show the similarity between elephants and butterflies. 11. What does Grames think of the future of butterflies? A. Eventful. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Insignificant. D In a pioneering achievement, scientists have successfully transformed light into a “supersolid,” a state of matter that exhibits characteristics of both solids and liquids in the meantime. This remarkable discovery, published in the journal Science, paves the way for novel advancements in condensed-matter (凝聚态物) physics. A supersolid is a unique state of matter governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. In this state, particles form an organized, crystal structure like a solid, yet they can move freely and fluidly like a liquid without stickness. The lack of stickness means that supersolids can quickly pipe themselves out of any containers. Ordinary solids are typically static and do not move on their own. However, supersolids possess the ability to change direction and density based on particle interactions while still keeping an orderly network structure. The formation of supersolids requires extremely low temperatures, usually close to absolute zero (minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 273.15 degrees Celsius). While supersolids have been previously created from atomic gases, the recent research employed a novel mechanism involving “polariton (极化子) “ systems. Polaritons are multiple particles formed by the strong coupling of light and quasiparticles (准粒子) through electromagnetic interactions. These polaritons can concentrate into the lowest possible energy state, similar to certain atomic gases. Namely, light is combined with matter, and together, they can be condensed into a supersolid. The study of supersolids is crucial because it allows us to observe the effects of tiny interactions between particles without the interference of temperature. By examining the behavior and characteristics of supersolids, we gain insights into the fundamental ways in which atoms and particles are organized. This knowledge helps us understand the world at a basic level. With further research and development, supersolids hold great potential for various applications. They could be used in quantum computing, superconductors, frictionless oils, and potentially many other applications that we have yet to imagine. The creation of a supersolid from light represents a significant leap forward in this field. 12. What is a supersolid according to the passage? A. A state of matter that exists only at extremely high temperatures. B. A state of matter that is both solid and liquid at the same time. C. A state of matter that is completely solid without liquid properties. D. A state of matter that is completely liquid without solid properties. 13. What is one of the unique characteristics of supersolids compared to ordinary solids? A. Supersolids can move on their own. B. Supersolids are always in a liquid state. C. Supersolids require high temperatures to form. D. Supersolids cannot change direction or density. 14. What is the role of polaritons in creating the supersolids in Paragraph 4? A. Polaritons provide the necessary heat to form the supersolid. B. Polaritons allow light to be condensed into a supersolid state. C. Polaritons are used to create a stronger electromagnetic field. D. Polaritons are used to increase the stickness of the supersolid, 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of further research into supersolids. B. The process of transforming light into a supersolid. C. The features and potential applications of supersolids. D. The history and potential value of supersolid research. 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。 Is walking backward better? Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible ways to stay fit, but some people assume that taking a few steps in reverse (反向) could unlock even greater benefits. This seemingly unconventional movement, known as backward walking or retro walking, is gaining attention for improving balance, strengthening underused muscles, and even sharpening cognitive function. ___16___ Benefits of walking backward. Unlike forward walking, which primarily engages the ankles, walking backward shifts the workload to the hips and knees. This minor change in movement activates different muscle groups, offering unique benefits for strength and mobility. Janet Dufek, a nutrition sciences professor at the University of Nevada, found that retro walking increases low back and leg flexibility, reduces low back pain, and improves balance and stability. ___17___ According to the American College of Sports Medicine, retro walking burns 40 percent more calories per minute than lively forward walking. A workout for the brain too. Emerging research suggests that walking backward does more than strengthen muscles. ___18___ This was proved in a 2019 study which found that participants who walked backward for 10 to 15 minutes three to four times a week showed greater improvements in cognitive functioning and memory than those who stepped forward or remained inactive. ___19___ Not everyone is fully convinced about the benefits of retro walking, though. “The evidence for backward walking training mostly comes from physical therapy, where very small studies show that this type of training may help people with knee issues when added to a regular physical therapy program,” says Jonathan Jarry, a science communicator in McGill University. “For the rest of us, we are left with an odd-looking exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.” Haas adds. ___20___ “Just be careful in your practice. Use of a treadmill (跑步机) can reduce these risks,” says Dufek. “Ensure that your walking space is safe without trip danger. You can always use a walking partner to be your ‘eye’ when you cannot see.” A. It also sharpens cognitive function. B. Is walking backward really better? C. But the benefits go beyond these. D. Still, safety is key for those willing to try it. E. However, the improvement in flexibility is not always obvious. F. Here are some practical tips to make retro walking practice as pleasant as possible. G. Now, researchers are uncovering just how influential this small change in movement can be. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Samuel loved animals since childhood.

When I was one year old, my mum bought me a toy with a xylophone (木琴), drums, all kinds of instruments. The moment I saw the toy, I fell in love with it. It was at this time that Cynthia learned her son must be into music. However, my music career almost didn’t happen. When I was in secondary school, I started playing rugby (橄榄球). There were three things I was really interested in: languages, sports and music. But I decided that I wanted to focus on sports for the time being. My rugby career took me all over the world on tours in South Africa, Europe and elsewhere. When I was around 16 years old, I got an injury. It was quite severe, keeping me out of the field for several months. And my doctor informed me that I could no longer continue playing professional rugby. During this period of recovery, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life and my passions. I realized that injuries had kept me from being a professional player. Although I loved rugby, music had always been a part of me. Music was something I had never truly let go of, even when I was fully buried in my rugby career. After much thought, I decided to pick up the guitar again and start writing songs. My mum was thrilled when I told her I wanted to return to music. She had always believed in my musical talent. After moving away from rugby with her support, I began taking music lessons and discovered that I possessed a wealth of creativity and emotion to channel into my music. I loved singing and continued my music lessons for years, even as I was preparing to go to university. One day, a record producer approached my music teacher to inquire whether she knew of anyone interested in joining a band, so my teacher asked me whether to audition (试唱). 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 With a slight hesitation, I asked my mum for help with this audition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As audition day came, I was a mixture of nerves and excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
