B During daily breaks from the world’s many dramas, I encountered another: The blue jay (松鸦) in my backyard is a ladies’ man. Each day, he lands on the bird feeder and fills up on seeds and nuts, which makes him a good provider — an attractive mating advantage for birds that typically stay with one partner. He dutifully delivers food from my place to his home in a tree across the street. Then I noticed him paying regular calls to the row of oaks (橡树) a few doors down, his mouth full and his feathers a bright blue. I assumed he was visiting a second mate. My wife was with me once when the jay took his love nest detour (绕路) and I pointed out what he was up to. My wife’s response was Socratic: “How do you know where that bird goes?” Based on the research, bird experts would ask the same question and argue that jays are actually no-nonsense birds. Smart, fierce and loyal. They are also industrious, stockpiling food in secret locations for later. After considering my wife’s question, I realized that I might’ve been too quick to judge the jay. Further evidence soon arrived. After some blackbirds stuffed themselves at the feeder, making quick work of the seeds, I left it bare for several days to keep them away. Noticing the empty tray, the blue jay dashed into a nearby tree and pulled out a hidden peanut from the bark. These birds don’t just store food; they build reserves. So after finishing the peanut, off he flew into the row of oaks — and emerged to head directly across the street to his home. It was all suddenly clear: That jay didn’t have a love nest. He had a nest egg, a little something put away in a few nearby trees to feed his family when food ran low. Next time I encounter another one of the world’s dramas, I won’t be too quick to judge. 24. What did the author assume about the jay’s taking a detour? A. It was building a new nest. B. It was guarding its territory. C. It was attracted to some food. D. It was involved in a secret affair. 25. What caused the author to rethink his assumption about the jay? A. A question from his wife. B. A research study on blue jays. C. A sudden change in the jay’s behavior. D. A conversation with other bird experts. 26. Why did the jay make the detour? A. To create a backup food source. B. To seek extra food for his family. C. To build a shelter in a nearby tree. D. To take a brief rest during his flight. 27. What is the best title for this text? A. A Bird-watcher’s Inspiring Tour B. What a Charmer: A Jay’s Love Story C. The Feeder Drama: Who Ate the Seeds? D. The Mysterious Ladies’ Man in My Backyard C Nations with large amounts of wind and solar in their power grids (电网) are particularly exposed to rising energy bills due to sharp increases in the gas price. The relationship between decarbonisation and swings in prices has been a controversial (有争议) issue as governments consider clean energy strategies, but an analysis of power prices has now provided evidence to inform the debate. Vast quantities of wind and solar capacity have been introduced across Europe in recent years, but these power sources are intermittent, generating electricity only when winds blow or the sky is cloudless. Gas power plants, which can be switched on and off relatively easily, are frequently relied on to provide power when renewable generation is low. But gas is often the most expensive source of power, and electricity market rules mean the most expensive generator sets the price for the entire market. Raúl Bajo-Buenestado at the University of Navarra and his colleagues found nations with more wind and solar in their power systems were more vulnerable (易受影响) to natural gas price shocks. Spain, for example, has large volumes of solar power and is particularly sensitive to power price changes. “If you have natural gas, wind and solar, this is going to make the perfect cocktail for you to be vulnerable,” says Bajo-Buenestado. It is the need for flexible generation alongside wind and solar that is the issue. Bajo-Buenestado points out that other nations with low-carbon power grids, such as Norway and France, rely on hydropower and nuclear technology, which are reliable generators. “We don’t see a clear correlation between decarbonisation and sensitivity to natural gas price changes,” he says. Solving the problem will require nations to replace gas as the back-up fuel of choice. One answer is for grid operators to push the power system to become better able to absorb peaks and valleys in generation. “The underlying message is that getting a flexible system is now as important as building renewables,” says Michael Grubb at University College London. 28. What does the controversial issue in the first paragraph refer to? A. How rising gas prices will affect power grids. B. Which countries may face higher energy bills. C. What should be included in clean energy strategies. D. Whether carbon cuts are linked to varying power prices. 29. What does the underlined word “intermittent” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Faulty. B. Costly. C. Unstable. D. Inefficient. 30. Why is natural gas still needed in high-renewable-energy systems? A. It helps lower energy costs. B. It can quickly fill gaps in supply. C It ensures consistent market prices. D. It is a key driver of energy innovation. 31. What might be an ideal combination of power sources? A. Solar and gas. B. Nuclear and gas. C. Solar and wind. D. Nuclear and wind. D In cultures worldwide, toys have been used to teach children about the society they live in. Recent research reveals that giving the wrong toys may have contributed to the downfall of the Norse settlers who came to Greenland from Iceland. Arriving in 985, the Norse thrived for a few centuries but was forced to abandon Greenland by 1400. In contrast, the Inuit people, arriving around 1000, endured long after the Norse left. This difference has puzzled archaeologists for decades. One idea was that the Norse did not eat more seafood when farming conditions worsened. But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why. To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture. The Norse settlements yielded 72. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397. The researchers then assigned each toy to one of five categories, including toys of weapons, tools, forms of transport, for social play and for skill play. They also determined approximate times for when the toys were made. The categorisation process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time. As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds. In essence, say the researchers, the Norse were adapting their lives to their new environment but continuing to gift old-fashioned toys. Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one. 32. What did the toy study aim to further investigate? A. The Norse’s dietary change. B. The Norse’s failure to endure. C. The Inuits’ fishing advantage. D. The Inuits’ success in farming. 33. What was a major advantage that Inuit toys had over Norse toys? A. Safety. B. Diversity. C. Interactivity. D. Portability. 34. What lesson can modern parents draw from the study? A. Provide a wide range of play opportunities. B. Emphasize toys that promote imagination. C. Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D. Encourage cooperative role-playing games. 35. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the text? A. Survival is a case of child’s play. B. Sticking to cultural essence is vital. C. Innovation comes naturally over time. D. Cultural adaptation relies on children. 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。 Orienteering: My Life-long Passion Orienteering is a timed event across a mostly natural landscape, where participants navigate through a series of checkpoints along the way. The route from one checkpoint to the next isn’t marked. ___36___ Beyond mere exercise, orienteering builds physical endurance and mental sharpness, with each move requiring split-second judgement. At the age of ten my family moved to a new town and I changed to a new school. In my new class there was an orienteer and I joined him in the practices. Now 50 years later, I still do orienteering! I have always enjoyed nature. Growing up in a village on the forest’s edge, I spent my childhood in nature, playing, walking, and skiing. ___37___ When I started with orienteering, I was the first in our family. But soon afterwards my parents realized that instead of just driving me to the practices and competitions, they could just as well participate themselves. We have always been out walking in the forest, but their participation opened up a new dimension. ___38___ With a lot of discussions driving to the competitions, about anything, and the analysis after the race, our family bonds grew stronger. ___39___ In most cases the competitions are in new areas where I have never been and would never go to otherwise, each offering unique landscapes to explore. But maybe the best part is that each race is a new challenge. No one runs the same course twice, so each time there are new challenges. Orienteering is for life. ___40___ A. Nature offers countless things for us to explore. B. The event also requires accurate map-reading skills. C I hope I will be able to continue for many years to come. D. Each participant decides the best route on the run or walk. E. I think that orienteering is a perfect activity for the family. F. I also appreciate how orienteering connects us to different places. G. Such experiences laid the foundation for my love of outdoor activities. 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。 My uncle George enjoys a simple life, and his communication is limited to in-person and ___41___ landline phone calls.

At my most stressed, during painful breakups and professional ___51___, that phone call nevertheless ___52___, allowing me to escape reality and laugh like a kid again. It’s impossible for him to truly ___53___ whether I’m having a good or bad day. Instead, he is able to bring me love and energy. It’s an incredible gift.

His palms had left damp marks on his Of Mice and Men script. Across the rehearsal (排练) room, Liam was doing his usual annoying trick — balancing a pencil on his nose during rehearsals — for the third time this week. Last year, they were great partners when they acted in The Outsiders together. Their rooftop “Stay gold” scene even got featured in the school newsletter. But now, everything changed. The trouble started during rehearsals. Jason insisted on following the book’s exact gestures. But Liam kept adding new moves — hugging an invisible puppy during serious lines, pretending to trip over “rabbits”. “Lennie wouldn’t do that!” Jason whispered angrily after a rehearsal. “At least my Lennie wouldn’t sound like a human tape recorder,” Liam snapped back. Their fight grew bigger every day. Liam put vinegar in Jason’s water bottle. Jason “accidentally” locked Liam’s favorite script in the storage room. Their teacher even put up a sign saying “NO MOREFOOD FIGHTS” after they threw ketchup packets at each other. The exploding moment came during their final practice. During the barn scene, Liam suddenly howled like a wolf. The younger students laughed loudly. Jason was so mad that he ran off the stage — and crashed right into the wooden chairs, breaking three of them. That night, Jason couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about how Liam used to gently push his shoulder before scary scenes to encourage him. At 1 AM, he got on his bike and rode back to school. The storage room light was on. Inside, Liam was sitting on the floor, trying to fix the broken chairs. Next to him was a chocolate bar — the kind Jason always ate. Jason froze, his eyes wide with a mix of astonishment and guilt when he realized it was the chairs he had kicked and broken. “Liam... I... I didn’t think I’d see you here fixing these,” Jason stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. Liam kept his head low, “Yeah, well, someone had to. The show is next week.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答案后，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，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时，请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题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】B 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】C 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间，每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

Clang! The first strike missed completely. “Let me,” Liam muttered, steadying Jason’s hand. With Liam guiding him, Jason lifted the hammer again. Bang! The nail sank deep into the chair leg. As they worked side by side, Liam nudged Jason, “Your book-accurate Lennie is solid. But my twists... they add spark.” Jason nodded, hammering a nail with more ease. “Why not mix them up? We’ll nail the show.” Their eyes met, and they shared a grin, the hammering growing faster and more in sync. When Liam pulled out a smashed chocolate bar, Jason took half without a word. “Still partners?” Liam asked, shaking crumbs from his hair. “Only if you stop eating my snacks,” Jason replied, flicking a chocolate chip at him. On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage. Jason delivered his lines with the precise gestures of a true book purist, while Liam added his signature quirks at just the right moments, making the audience burst into laughter. In the final scene, their emotional acting brought the characters vividly to life, leaving the audience wide-eyed. As the curtain fell, thunderous applause filled the hall.

As part of this series of lectures on the development of early humans today, we are looking at rock art. Rockets is found all over the world. And what is rather amazing is that people from different cultures often drew in the same way. For example, when our ancestors drew humans, they would often represent them and stick figures. But i'd like to focus now on the rock out of the early residence of australia. The images that survive in this part of the world date back to at least twenty thousand years ago. In fact, people in australia were still practicing this art form in the late eighteen th century when the europeans began to arrive. And certain images points to the contacts between the two groups. For example, one image that provides evidence of european arrival is that of horses, an animal that would have been very unusual in the australian landscape. Um IT doesn't actually known how many sites there are across australia where rock art can be found. But unfortunately, we do know that much of the art is being lost to us since the nineteen and sixty industry alone has destroyed around an estimated ten thousand pieces of arts. Hello, everyone.
