I could not wait. Unfortunately, my home life was less than ideal. My mother was less than affectionate, and my sister and I definitely preferred the company of our father, who was very kind and loving. This apparently added to the conflict between my parents, so the year I turned eight, my mother left us. We woke up one morning and found she was just gone. My father explained that they had discussed the situation and decided my sister and I would be happier staying in the family home with him. I remembered the promise that I could learn to knit when I was eight. Obviously, my mother was not available and, under the circumstances, I really did not want any contact with her. Apparently, learning to knit was something I had mentioned more than once to my dad. Imagine my surprise when he came home from work one day and announced to my sister and me that he was going to teach us to knit! He had bought a beginner’s book I Learn to Knit and needles and yarn for all three of us. I will never forget sitting happily on the sofa, learning to knit with my sister. In those days, “real” men did not do such things. Dad put aside the prejudices of the time to fulfill a promise made to his daughters. I cannot imagine the courage it must have taken. Those knitting lessons turned into a lifelong passion for me. Today, I create and sell my own craft designs, and I give all of the credit to a man who was not afraid to be a person. After decades of searching, I recently found a copy of the book I Learn to Knit my father had purchased many years ago. It is now my most prized possession, and I treasure it as a reminder of a wonderful man who ignored the prejudices of his time to honour a commitment to his two little girls. 4. What do we know about the author before she turned eight? A. She grew in a single-parent family. B. She had a prejudice against her mother. C. She lived in a disharmonious family. D. She promised to teach her parents to knit. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. It was not common for men to knit. B. The author’s father was good at knitting. C. Knitting was just meant for true men. D. Learning to knit needed a lot of preparations. 6. Which of the following best describes the author’s father? A. Smart and curious. B. Caring and courageous. C. Diligent and ambitious. D. Determined and severe. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A broken promise B. The heart of a father C. A most treasured book D. Benefits of knitting 【答案】4 C 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了母亲离开后父亲信守承诺教自己和姐姐编织的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfortunately, my home life was less than ideal. My mother was less than affectionate, and my sister and I definitely preferred the company of our father, who was very kind and loving. This apparently added to the conflict between my parents, so the year I turned eight, my mother left us.(不幸的是，我的家庭生活并不理想。我的母亲不怎么爱我，而我和妹妹当然更喜欢父亲的陪伴，他非常善良和慈爱。这显然增加了我父母之间的矛盾，所以在我八岁那年，我母亲离开了我们)”可知，作者八岁前，生活在一个不和谐的家庭。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Imagine my surprise when he came home from work one day and announced to my sister and me that he was going to teach us to knit! He had bought a beginner’s book I Learn to Knit and needles and yarn for all three of us. I will never forget sitting happily on the sofa, learning to knit with my sister. In those days, “real” men did not do such things. Dad put aside the prejudices of the time to fulfill a promise made to his daughters. I cannot imagine the courage it must have taken.(想象一下，当他有一天下班回家，对我和妹妹宣布他要教我们编织时，我是多么惊讶！他给我们三个人买了一本初学者的书《我学编织》和针和纱线。我永远不会忘记和姐姐一起愉快地坐在沙发上学编织的情景。在那个时代，“真正的”男人不会做这样的事情。父亲抛开当时的偏见，履行对女儿们的承诺。我无法想象那需要多大的勇气)”可知，从本段可推知，在那个年代男人织毛衣是不常见的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“My mother was less than affectionate, and my sister and I definitely preferred the company of our father, who was very kind and loving.(我的母亲不怎么爱我，而我和妹妹当然更喜欢父亲的陪伴，他非常善良和慈爱)”以及第四段“Dad put aside the prejudices of the time to fulfill a promise made to his daughters. I cannot imagine the courage it must have taken.(父亲抛开当时的偏见，履行对女儿们的承诺。我无法想象那需要多大的勇气)”可知，父亲是慈爱和勇敢的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“After decades of searching, I recently found a copy of the book I Learn to Knit my father had purchased many years ago. It is now my most prized possession, and I treasure it as a reminder of a wonderful man who ignored the prejudices of his time to honour a commitment to his two little girls.(经过几十年的寻找，我最近找到了一本父亲多年前买的《我学编织》。它现在是我最珍贵的财产，我把它珍藏起来，让我想起一个了不起的男人，他不顾时代的偏见，履行对两个小女儿的承诺)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了父亲信守承诺教自己和姐姐编织的故事，体现了伟大的父爱，所以B项“父亲的心”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C As a species that is heavily dependent on water — without it, we would die within days — we seem to be wired to plan for it. The loss of water contributes to a general mindset of saving and long-term thinking. This could have an important influence on humankind’s response to climate change. We explored thinking about water in several ways. In one experiment, we brought 211 college students to the lab and asked a portion of them to read an article we provided. Some received an article that was awful. It detailed predictions of the worst “water shortage in 1200 years”. Others read an article that was more upbeat. It described how climate change means more rain and therefore plenty of water. (The latter article focused on the positives of water availability and did not, for example, discuss threat of floods.) The rest of the students completed the study without reading an article. We then asked the students how important it was to save resources and think about the long term. We found that the mere idea of water scarcity was enough to kick-start them into thinking about the future. In contrast, reading about a future water surplus pushed people in the opposite direction. They approved of living for the present and cared less about saving money and other resources, compared with those who had answered the questions without reading about climate change at all. Next, we looked for places where communities have experienced real water scarcity for generations. We found two geographically close cities in Iran — Shiraz and Yazd — that have similar economies and the same majority religion, language and ethnicity but sharply different amounts of water. Shiraz receives enough rainfall to support vineyards that produce its world-famous wine. Nearby Yazd is bone-dry. Sure enough, people in Yazd thought that planning for the future was more important than those in Shiraz — while people in Shiraz liked the idea of living in the moment more than those in Yazd. 8. What aspect of water is mainly mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Its use. B. Its source. C. Its distribution. D. Its significance. 9. What does the underlined word “upbeat” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Ordinary. B. Inspiring. C. Optimistic. D. Confusing. 10. What does the finding reflect? A. The effect of reading materials. B. Methods of doing experiments. C. People’s views of exploring the future. D. People’s attitudes towards water resources. 11. Why did researchers study the two cities in Iran? A. They share much in economies. B. They think of the future differently. C. They have a marked difference in rainfall. D. They are experiencing real water scarcity. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了水资源状况对人们节约及长远思考意识的影响。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As a species that is heavily dependent on water — without it, we would die within days — we seem to be wired to plan for it. The loss of water contributes to a general mindset of saving and long-term thinking. This could have an important influence on humankind’s response to climate change. (作为一个严重依赖水的物种 —— 没有水，我们几天内就会死亡 —— 我们似乎天生就会为水做规划。水资源的缺失会促成一种普遍的节约和长远思考的心态。这可能会对人类应对气候变化的方式产生重要影响。)”可知，第一段主要提到了水对人类的重要性。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中 “Some received an article that was awful. It detailed predictions of the worst “water shortage in 1200 years”. Others read an article that was more upbeat. It described how climate change means more rain and therefore plenty of water. (The latter article focused on the positives of water availability and did not, for example, discuss threat of floods.) (一些学生收到了一篇令人担忧的文章。它详细预测了最严重的“1200 年来最严重的水资源短缺”。而另一些学生读了一篇更upbeat文章。文章描述了气候变化意味着更多的降雨，因此有充足的水资源。（后一篇文章关注了水资源可利用的积极方面，例如，没有讨论洪水的威胁。）)”可知，文章描述了气候变化意味着更多的降雨，因此有充足的水资源，可知这篇文章对水资源状况是乐观的描述，所以upbeat意思是“乐观的”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We then asked the students how important it was to save resources and think about the long term. We found that the mere idea of water scarcity was enough to kick-start them into thinking about the future. In contrast, reading about a future water surplus pushed people in the opposite direction. They approved of living for the present and cared less about saving money and other resources, compared with those who had answered the questions without reading about climate change at all. (然后我们问学生节约资源和进行长远思考有多重要。我们发现，仅仅是水资源短缺的概念就足以促使他们开始思考未来。相比之下，读到关于未来水资源过剩的内容则会使人们走向相反的方向。与那些根本没有读过关于气候变化内容就回答问题的人相比，他们赞成活在当下，对存钱和节约其他资源不太在意。)”可知，这个发现反映了反映了人们对水资源的态度。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Next, we looked for places where communities have experienced real water scarcity for generations. We found two geographically close cities in Iran — Shiraz and Yazd — that have similar economies and the same majority religion, language and ethnicity but sharply different amounts of water. Shiraz receives enough rainfall to support vineyards that produce its world-famous wine. Nearby Yazd is bone-dry. (接下来，我们寻找那些几代人都经历过真正水资源短缺的社区所在的地方。我们在伊朗找到了两个地理位置相近的城市 —— 设拉子和亚兹德 —— 它们有着相似的经济状况，相同的主要宗教、语言和种族，但水资源量却截然不同。设拉子有足够的降雨量来支撑生产世界著名葡萄酒的葡萄园。附近的亚兹德则极为干旱。)”可知，研究人员研究伊朗的这两个城市是因为它们在降雨量上有显著差异。故选C。 D Despite lacking a central brain, jellyfish (水母) learned to spot and avoid obstacles in a new study, which is the first evidence that these animals can do something called associative learning. “Maybe learning doesn’t need a very complicated nervous system,” says Jan Bielecki from Kiel University in Germany. Maybe any creature with even a simple nervous system can learn. Caribbean box jellyfish include four rhopalia (感觉棍) hanging off a jellyfish’s body. Each rhopalium has six “eyes” and has about 1,000 neurons (神经元) to process what those eyes see. To hunt food, these jellyfish must move between trees’ roots. They judge a root’s distance based on how dark it looks compared to the water. In clear waters, nearby roots have high contrast. Only distant roots fade into the background. But in dark waters, even nearby roots can blend into their surroundings and have low contrast. So the researchers wondered if Caribbean box jellyfish could learn that low-contrast objects — which might at first seem distant — were actually close by. To find it out, the team put 12 jellyfish into a round water tank surrounded by low-contrast gray and white stripes (条). Such stripes might appear to a jellyfish like distant roots in the clear water. Initially, the animals seemed to see the gray stripes as distant root and swam into the tank wall. But those collisions seemed to lead the jellyfish to reconsider the stripes. Soon, the creatures knew how to avoid them. Next the researchers cut rhopalia off jellyfish and placed them in front of a screen that showed low-contrast, light gray bars. Meanwhile, the rhopalia were given a weak electrical pulse. This copied the nerve (神经) signal rhopalia would get if a jellyfish bumped into something. At first, the rhopalia ignored low-contrast bars. But receiving “bump” signals when they saw those bars made them start paying attention. Their nerves started sending out the types of signals they emit when a jellyfish moves away from something. This suggests the rhopalia alone can learn that seemingly distant, low-contrast objects are in fact close enough to avoid. That, in turn, hints that these nerve centers are behind Caribbean box jellyfish learning. 12. What is the focus of the research? A. The method of how jellyfish learn. B. The theory of associative learning. C. The composition of a nervous system. D. The special living habit of jellyfish. 13. How do jellyfish judge a root's distance? A. By judging its size. B. By looking at its contrast. C. By comparing its features. D. By analyzing its surroundings. 14. How did the researchers conduct their research? A. They coloured something to attract jellyfish. B. They exposed jellyfish to natural surroundings. C. They adjusted the distance between objects. D. They created jellyfish’s similar living conditions. 15. What can rhopalia be described as for jellyfish? A. A driving force. B. A learning center. C. A special inspiration. D. A source of knowledge. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。文章介绍了关于水母学习能力的研究，探讨了即使没有中央大脑，水母也能通过其感觉器官rhopalia学会识别和避开障碍物，这一发现提供了关联学习在简单神经系统中也可能存在的证据。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Despite lacking a central brain, jellyfish (水母) learned to spot and avoid obstacles in a new study, which is the first evidence that these animals can do something called associative learning. (尽管没有中央大脑，水母在一项新的研究中学会了发现和避开障碍物，这是第一个证明这些动物可以做一些叫做联想学习的事情的证据。)”可知，研究的重点是水母学习的方法。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“To hunt food, these jellyfish must move between trees’ roots. They judge a root’s distance based on how dark it looks compared to the water. (为了觅食，这些水母必须在树根之间移动。他们根据树根相对于水的暗度来判断树根的距离。)”可知，水母根据树根相对于水的暗度判断根的距离。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“To find it out, the team put 12 jellyfish into a round water tank surrounded by low-contrast gray and white stripes (条). Such stripes might appear to a jellyfish like distant roots in the clear water. Initially, the animals seemed to see the gray stripes as distant root and swam into the tank wall. But those collisions seemed to lead the jellyfish to reconsider the stripes. Soon, the creatures knew how to avoid them. (为了找到答案，研究小组将12只水母放入一个圆形水箱中，水箱周围是低对比度的灰色和白色条纹(条)。这种条纹对水母来说可能就像清澈水中遥远的根。起初，这些动物似乎把灰色条纹视为遥远的根，并游进了水箱壁。但这些碰撞似乎让水母重新考虑了这些t条纹。很快，这些生物知道如何避开它们。)”可知，研究人员创造了类似水母的生活条件进行研究的。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“Next the researchers cut rhopalia off jellyfish and placed them in front of a screen that showed low-contrast, light gray bars. Meanwhile, the rhopalia were given a weak electrical pulse. This copied the nerve (神经) signal rhopalia would get if a jellyfish bumped into something. At first, the rhopalia ignored low-contrast bars. But receiving “bump” signals when they saw those bars made them start paying attention. Their nerves started sending out the types of signals they emit when a jellyfish moves away from something. (接下来，研究人员从水母身上切下rhopalia，并将它们放在屏幕前，屏幕上显示低对比度的浅灰色条形图。与此同时，rhopalia被给予微弱的电脉冲。这复制了水母撞到什么东西时rhopalia会得到的神经信号。起初，rhopalia忽略了低对比度条。但当他们看到这些条形物时，接收到“碰撞”信号会让它们开始注意。它们的神经开始发出水母离开某物时发出的各种信号。)”可知，对于水母来说，rhopalia是一个学习中心。故选B。 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 More often than not, people cannot find a point of balance between their careers and their families, and one is given more priority than the other. This behavior has been associated with several dysfunctional (机能失调的) outcomes — tense familial relationships, inefficiency at work, and poor health. ___16___ The idea may seem difficult, but it is possible if you take the time and care to make it a priority.  Building strong communication with your family members is significant in bringing a work-life balance. ___17___ Sharing your work with your family and letting them know your work struggles can help them understand your perspective.   ___18___ Having workplace flexibility can make your life a lot easier.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了平衡工作和家庭的重要性及建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“More often than not, people cannot find a point of balance between their careers and their families, and one is given more priority than the other. This behavior has been associated with several dysfunctional (机能失调的) outcomes — tense familial relationships, inefficiency at work, and poor health.(通常情况下，人们无法在事业和家庭之间找到平衡点，其中一个比另一个更重要。这种行为与一些功能失调的结果有关——紧张的家庭关系、工作效率低下和健康状况不佳)”以及后文“The idea may seem difficult, but it is possible if you take the time and care to make it a priority. (这个想法可能看起来很难，但如果你花时间，并把它放在首位，它是可能的)”可知，本段主要讲述人们无法在事业和家庭之间找到平衡点，后文提到这个想法可能看起来很难，所以空处应是提出一个和事业和家庭之间找到平衡点的相关想法，A项“Hence, individuals need to learn and work on balancing work and family life.(因此，个人需要学习并努力平衡好工作与家庭生活)”承接上文，构成因果关系，并引出下文。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Building strong communication with your family members is significant in bringing a work-life balance.(与家人建立良好的沟通对于实现工作与生活的平衡非常重要)”以及后文“Sharing your work with your family and letting them know your work struggles can help them understand your perspective. (与你的家人分享你的工作，让他们知道你的工作困难可以帮助他们理解你的观点)”可知，本段主要讲述与家人建立良好的沟通好处，所以D项“Having strong familial bonds promotes trust, understanding, and support.(拥有强大的家庭纽带可以促进信任、理解和支持)”符合本段主题，承接上文。故选D项。 【18题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Having workplace flexibility can make your life a lot easier. You can work from home or any other remote location without compromising your family time.(工作场所的灵活性可以让你的生活更轻松。你可以在家或任何其他偏远的地方工作，而不会影响你的家庭时间)”可知，本段主要讲述在你的工作场所增加灵活性，所以F项“You can also ask your employer to add flexibility to your workplace.(你也可以要求你的雇主在你的工作场所增加灵活性)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选F项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If you’re an early bird, try to get some house or work tasks done in the morning before the kids wake up.(如果你是一个早起的人，试着在孩子们醒来之前完成一些家务或工作任务)”可知，B项“This allows for quality breakfast time with the kids before they go to school.(这样就可以在孩子上学前和他们一起吃高质量的早餐)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Learning how to balance work and family life isn’t easy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.(学习如何平衡工作和家庭生活并不容易。没有放之四海而皆准的方法)”可知，没有统一的方法，所以E项“Every person must find specific solutions depending on their own needs.(每个人都必须根据自己的需要找到具体的解决方案)”是对前文的进一步说明，符合文意。故选E项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节　(共15小题;每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Kelsey Russell, a 23-year-old student, had always enjoyed reading the newspaper with her dad. ____21____, as part of her studies in sociology and education, she found that she ____22____ social, cultural, political, and economic knowledge.

Therefore因此；C. Still不过，仍然；D. Anyway无论如何。前文提到“Kelsey Russell, a 23 year old student, had always enjoyed reading the newspaper with her dad.”，说明她一直有读报的习惯，而后文说她发现自己知识欠缺，前后存在转折关系，still可表示这种转折。故选C项。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：不过，作为社会学和教育学学习的一部分，她发现自己缺乏社会、文化、政治和经济知识。A. learned学习；B. lacked缺乏；C. preferred更喜欢；D. missed错过。根据后文“Her confidence in class was hurt.”，她在课堂上信心受挫，这是因为她在社会、文化、政治和经济知识方面有所欠缺。故选B项。 【23题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：所以今年早些时候，她为了过生日向父亲要了一份《纽约时报》周日版的订阅服务。A. subscription订阅；B. favor帮助；C. ride乘坐；D. privilege特权。后文提到“When starting to read the newspaper”，说明她得到了报纸去阅读，向父亲要的应该是报纸的订阅服务。故选A项。 【24题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当她开始读报纸时，她发现自己对正在发生的事情了解得更多了，而且比以前更平静了。A. optimistic乐观的；B. concerned关心的；C. informed见多识广的，了解情况的；D. generous慷慨的。前文提到她缺乏知识，读报后自然是对事情有了更多了解，结合“about what was going on”可知，这里用informed更合适。故选C项。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当她在手机上获取信息时，她很容易被短信或通知分散注意力。A. publishing出版；B. recording记录；C. spreading传播；D. consuming消耗，获取。根据前文“on her phone”和后文“she was easy to get distracted by texts or notifications”可知，在手机上获取信息的过程中容易被短信或通知干扰；consume information表示“获取信息”。故选D项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：为了鼓励其他人读报纸，她决定在社交平台上记录自己读报的经历。A. forbid禁止；B. encourage鼓励；C. inspect检查；D. request要求。后文“she decided to document her experience of reading the paper on social platform”以及“she thought all Gen Zers should read the news”表明，她记录读报经历的目的是鼓励其他人读报。故选B项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在8月22日发布的作为这个项目一部分的第一个视频中，她举起一份《纽约时报》，并告诉观众她认为所有Z世代的人都应该读新闻。A. journal日志；B. project项目；C. adaptation改编；D. introduction介绍。前文提到她决定在社交平台记录读报经历，这可以看作是一个有计划的项目，后文“her first video as part of this”也能体现这是一个项目。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：“为了重拾读报的习惯，我要逐字记录下我每天学到的东西，”她说。A. take over接管；B. go through经历；C. bring back带回，重拾；D. comment on评论。前文提到她原本喜欢读报，后来因知识缺乏有了新的读报需求，这里说要记录读报所学，是为了重拾读报习惯，结合前文的读报背景，bring back更符合语境。故选C项。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：“为了重拾读报的习惯，我要逐字记录下我每天学到的东西，”她说。A. eventually最终；B. literally逐字地，确实地；C. hurriedly匆忙地；D. normally正常地。后文“document every day what I learn”强调每天具体记录所学内容，用literally能体现这种逐字记录的意思。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这个视频非常受欢迎，获得了170万的浏览量，而且她信守了诺言。A. conveying传达；B. cancelling取消；C. completing完成；D. receiving收到，获得。根据前文“The video proved hugely popular”，视频受欢迎，自然会获得很多浏览量，结合“1.7 million views”，这里用receiving合适。故选D项。 【31题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这个视频非常受欢迎，获得了170万的浏览量，而且她信守了诺言。A. looked up查阅；B. stuck to坚持，信守；C. given out分发；D. brought forward提出。后文“Russell has posted dozens of...explaining and commenting on the news stories she reads.”说明她一直在坚持做记录读报内容这件事，也就是信守了之前要记录读报所学的诺言。故选B项。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这两个月里，拉塞尔发布了几十段视频，解释和评论她读到的新闻故事。A. pictures图片；B. essays文章；C. videos视频；D. standards标准。前文提到“In her first video as part of this...”，说明她是以视频的形式记录读报经历，所以这里发布的也是视频。故选C项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：拉塞尔认为她这一代人缺乏媒体素养。A. family家庭；B. society社会；C. class班级；D. generation一代。后文“Gen Zers”明确指出是Z世代的人，也就是她这一代人。故选D项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：她希望通过展示读新闻的价值，在一定程度上改变这种状况。A. process过程；B. skills技能；C. commit承诺；D. value价值。前文提到她读报后对事情了解更多、更平静，且视频受欢迎，说明读报是有价值的，她希望通过展示这种价值来改变年轻人缺乏媒体素养的状况。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：拉塞尔希望年轻人能通过她的视频看到传统媒体的重要性。A. official官方的；B. various各种各样的；C. traditional传统的；D. positive积极的。通读全文可推知，前文一直围绕读报纸这种传统的获取信息方式展开，所以这里指的是传统媒体。故选C项。 第二节　(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The campus of Tsinghua University is situated in northwest Beijing on the site of the former imperial gardens of the Qing Dynasty.

One sunny day, while she was in her backyard, she noticed a small bird lying on the ground. It was a bluebird, with blue feathers. It seemed hurt and could not fly any longer. Emma approached the bird slowly, not wanting to scare it. She could see its left wing was bent in a strange way. She realized the bird must have injured its wing. Without thinking, Emma gently picked up the little bird and took it inside her house. She found an old shoebox and lined it with soft cloth to make a comfortable bed for the bird. She then placed the injured bird inside, ensuring it was safe and warm. Emma remembered seeing her mother give water to their pet cat with a dropper. She thought the bird might be thirsty, so she fetched a dropper and gently gave the bird some water. Every day, Emma took care of the little bluebird. She would feed it, give it water, and talk to it in soft, comforting tones. She even named it Bluey. At first, Bluey was scared and would chirp loudly whenever Emma came close. But over time, Bluey grew to trust her and would even sing softly when she was around. Emma wanted to help Bluey heal faster. She decided to learn more about birds. With her parents’ help, she borrowed a book about birds from the library. The book taught her how to make a splint (夹板) for Bluey’s wing. With careful hands and a lot of patience, Emma was able to fix the splint on Bluey’s wing. Days turned into weeks. Emma continued to care for Bluey, and the little bird grew stronger each day. She noticed that the bird’s wing was healing, and it began to flap its wings inside the box. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One sunny morning, Emma felt that Bluey was finally ready to take to the sky once more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a flap of its strong wings, Bluey flied into the sky. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One sunny morning, Emma felt that Bluey was finally ready to take to the sky once more. She had been caring for the little bird for weeks, watching as it recovered from its injuries. Now, she knew, it was time for it to return to the wild. Emma held up the shoebox, which had served as Bluey’s temporary home for weeks, and opened it. The little bird looked around, chirping excitedly, as if sensing the freedom. Emma’s heart filled with joy as she watched Bluey change from being scared to confident. With a flap of its strong wings, Bluey flied into the sky. It circled above Emma before disappearing into the distance. Emma’s heart swelled with pride as she watched it fly off into the vast expanse of the sky, joining the other birds. Emma’s face broke into a broad smile as she felt a sense of accomplishment and knew that she had played an important role in Bluey’s recovery. She had given it a chance to live its life once again in the wild, where it belonged. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Emma是一个善良又细心的女孩，她最喜欢在后院观察小动物。有一天她发现了一只翅膀受伤的蓝鸟Bluey，立即把它带回家照顾。她用旧鞋盒给小鸟做了个窝，每天细心喂食喂水，还特意去图书馆借书学习如何制作翅膀夹板。在她的精心照料下，Bluey的伤慢慢好了起来。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一个阳光明媚的早晨，Emma觉得Bluey终于可以再次飞上天空了。”可知，第一段可描写Emma照顾这只小鸟已经好几个星期了，应该让它回归野外了。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着它有力的翅膀的扇动，蓝色飞上了天空。”可知，第二段可描写Bluey飞上高空消失在远方，以及Emma的感悟。 2. 续写线索：照顾了几个星期——痊愈——放飞——飞上天空——消失在远方——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①观察：watch/observe ②举起：hold up/lift up ③消失：disappear/vanish 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/gladly ②喜悦：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]Emma held up the shoebox, which had served as Bluey’s temporary home for weeks, and opened it.(which引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2]Emma’s face broke into a broad smile as she felt a sense of accomplishment and knew that she had played an important role in Bluey’s recovery.(that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年安徽省普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 英语冲刺卷(二) 本试卷共150分　考试时间120分钟 注意事项: 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用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,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分　听力(共两节,满分30分) 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.What does the woman think of the man?

Hand in the record of their family medical history. B My mother promised me that when I was eight years old, she would teach me to knit. I could not wait. Unfortunately, my home life was less than ideal. My mother was less than affectionate, and my sister and I definitely preferred the company of our father, who was very kind and loving. This apparently added to the conflict between my parents, so the year I turned eight, my mother left us. We woke up one morning and found she was just gone. My father explained that they had discussed the situation and decided my sister and I would be happier staying in the family home with him. I remembered the promise that I could learn to knit when I was eight. Obviously, my mother was not available and, under the circumstances, I really did not want any contact with her. Apparently, learning to knit was something I had mentioned more than once to my dad. Imagine my surprise when he came home from work one day and announced to my sister and me that he was going to teach us to knit! He had bought a beginner’s book I Learn to Knit and needles and yarn for all three of us. I will never forget sitting happily on the sofa, learning to knit with my sister. In those days, “real” men did not do such things. Dad put aside the prejudices of the time to fulfill a promise made to his daughters. I cannot imagine the courage it must have taken. Those knitting lessons turned into a lifelong passion for me. Today, I create and sell my own craft designs, and I give all of the credit to a man who was not afraid to be a person. After decades of searching, I recently found a copy of the book I Learn to Knit my father had purchased many years ago. It is now my most prized possession, and I treasure it as a reminder of a wonderful man who ignored the prejudices of his time to honour a commitment to his two little girls. 4. What do we know about the author before she turned eight? A. She grew in a single-parent family. B. She had a prejudice against her mother. C. She lived in a disharmonious family. D. She promised to teach her parents to knit. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. It was not common for men to knit. B. The author’s father was good at knitting. C. Knitting was just meant for true men. D. Learning to knit needed a lot of preparations. 6. Which of the following best describes the author’s father? A. Smart and curious. B. Caring and courageous. C Diligent and ambitious. D. Determined and severe. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A broken promise B. The heart of a father C. A most treasured book D. Benefits of knitting C As a species that is heavily dependent on water — without it, we would die within days — we seem to be wired to plan for it. The loss of water contributes to a general mindset of saving and long-term thinking. This could have an important influence on humankind’s response to climate change. We explored thinking about water in several ways. In one experiment, we brought 211 college students to the lab and asked a portion of them to read an article we provided. Some received an article that was awful. It detailed predictions of the worst “water shortage in 1200 years”. Others read an article that was more upbeat. It described how climate change means more rain and therefore plenty of water. (The latter article focused on the positives of water availability and did not, for example, discuss threat of floods.) The rest of the students completed the study without reading an article. We then asked the students how important it was to save resources and think about the long term. We found that the mere idea of water scarcity was enough to kick-start them into thinking about the future. In contrast, reading about a future water surplus pushed people in the opposite direction. They approved of living for the present and cared less about saving money and other resources, compared with those who had answered the questions without reading about climate change at all. Next, we looked for places where communities have experienced real water scarcity for generations. We found two geographically close cities in Iran — Shiraz and Yazd — that have similar economies and the same majority religion, language and ethnicity but sharply different amounts of water. Shiraz receives enough rainfall to support vineyards that produce its world-famous wine. Nearby Yazd is bone-dry. Sure enough, people in Yazd thought that planning for the future was more important than those in Shiraz — while people in Shiraz liked the idea of living in the moment more than those in Yazd. 8. What aspect of water is mainly mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Its use. B. Its source. C. Its distribution. D. Its significance. 9. What does the underlined word “upbeat” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Ordinary. B. Inspiring. C. Optimistic. D. Confusing. 10. What does the finding reflect? A. The effect of reading materials. B. Methods of doing experiments. C. People’s views of exploring the future. D. People’s attitudes towards water resources. 11. Why did researchers study the two cities in Iran? A. They share much in economies. B. They think of the future differently. C. They have a marked difference in rainfall. D. They are experiencing real water scarcity. D Despite lacking a central brain, jellyfish (水母) learned to spot and avoid obstacles in a new study, which is the first evidence that these animals can do something called associative learning. “Maybe learning doesn’t need a very complicated nervous system,” says Jan Bielecki from Kiel University in Germany. Maybe any creature with even a simple nervous system can learn. Caribbean box jellyfish include four rhopalia (感觉棍) hanging off a jellyfish’s body. Each rhopalium has six “eyes” and has about 1,000 neurons (神经元) to process what those eyes see. To hunt food, these jellyfish must move between trees’ roots. They judge a root’s distance based on how dark it looks compared to the water. In clear waters, nearby roots have high contrast. Only distant roots fade into the background. But in dark waters, even nearby roots can blend into their surroundings and have low contrast. So the researchers wondered if Caribbean box jellyfish could learn that low-contrast objects — which might at first seem distant — were actually close by. To find it out, the team put 12 jellyfish into a round water tank surrounded by low-contrast gray and white stripes (条). Such stripes might appear to a jellyfish like distant roots in the clear water. Initially, the animals seemed to see the gray stripes as distant root and swam into the tank wall. But those collisions seemed to lead the jellyfish to reconsider the stripes. Soon, the creatures knew how to avoid them. Next the researchers cut rhopalia off jellyfish and placed them in front of a screen that showed low-contrast, light gray bars. Meanwhile, the rhopalia were given a weak electrical pulse. This copied the nerve (神经) signal rhopalia would get if a jellyfish bumped into something. At first, the rhopalia ignored low-contrast bars. But receiving “bump” signals when they saw those bars made them start paying attention. Their nerves started sending out the types of signals they emit when a jellyfish moves away from something. This suggests the rhopalia alone can learn that seemingly distant, low-contrast objects are in fact close enough to avoid. That, in turn, hints that these nerve centers are behind Caribbean box jellyfish learning. 12. What is the focus of the research? A. The method of how jellyfish learn. B. The theory of associative learning. C. The composition of a nervous system. D. The special living habit of jellyfish. 13. How do jellyfish judge a root's distance? A. By judging its size. B. By looking at its contrast. C. By comparing its features. D. By analyzing its surroundings. 14. How did the researchers conduct their research? A. They coloured something to attract jellyfish. B. They exposed jellyfish to natural surroundings. C. They adjusted the distance between objects. D. They created jellyfish’s similar living conditions. 15. What can rhopalia be described as for jellyfish? A. A driving force. B. A learning center. C. A special inspiration. D. A source of knowledge. 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 More often than not, people cannot find a point of balance between their careers and their families, and one is given more priority than the other.

One sunny day, while she was in her backyard, she noticed a small bird lying on the ground. It was a bluebird, with blue feathers. It seemed hurt and could not fly any longer. Emma approached the bird slowly, not wanting to scare it. She could see its left wing was bent in a strange way. She realized the bird must have injured its wing. Without thinking, Emma gently picked up the little bird and took it inside her house. She found an old shoebox and lined it with soft cloth to make a comfortable bed for the bird. She then placed the injured bird inside, ensuring it was safe and warm. Emma remembered seeing her mother give water to their pet cat with a dropper. She thought the bird might be thirsty, so she fetched a dropper and gently gave the bird some water. Every day, Emma took care of the little bluebird. She would feed it, give it water, and talk to it in soft, comforting tones. She even named it Bluey. At first, Bluey was scared and would chirp loudly whenever Emma came close. But over time, Bluey grew to trust her and would even sing softly when she was around. Emma wanted to help Bluey heal faster. She decided to learn more about birds. With her parents’ help, she borrowed a book about birds from the library. The book taught her how to make a splint (夹板) for Bluey’s wing. With careful hands and a lot of patience, Emma was able to fix the splint on Bluey’s wing. Days turned into weeks. Emma continued to care for Bluey, and the little bird grew stronger each day. She noticed that the bird’s wing was healing, and it began to flap its wings inside the box. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One sunny morning Emma felt that Bluey was finally ready to take to the sky once more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a flap of its strong wings, Bluey flied into the sky. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
