What better place is there to chill than at the beach? When you’re on a budget, you can easily plan an inexpensive vacation to a super shoreline. Oceanside, California Oceanside was once a less desirable area to visit. But the city has made an effort to invest in tourism. Visitors can stay at The Brick Hotel at less than $250 a night for two people. Low-cost activities include surfing, fishing, riding bikes, and visiting the California Surf Museum. Martinique The French island of Martinique faces the calm Caribbean Sea and the more active Atlantic Ocean, with sandy beaches along the southern coast. Served by both major and cheap airlines, this destination’s delicious Creole cuisine and less touristy atmosphere attract numerous visitors. Martinique also boasts highly regarded rum wine, excellent hiking sites and a variety of festivals. Waikiki, Hawaii While oceanfront hotels on Waikiki Beach can cost over $400 a night, just a few blocks away, visitors can stay at affordable hotels for less than $150 a night. There are many budget-friendly activities, such as relaxing at the beach, hiking Diamond Head, visiting the Waikiki Marine Life Museum, and biking around town. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina With warm temperatures year-round, Myrtle Beach offers tons of outdoor activities, such as golf, fishing, and other water sports. Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offer free live entertainment, kids’ activities, and fireworks during the summer. Some hotels even offer barbecue facilities. If customers pay in advance online, rates can drop as low as $80 per night. 21. What is special for Martinique among the four places? A. Hiking. B. Food and drinks. C. Biking. D. Beach views. 22. Which place offers fireworks show? A. Oceanside. B. Martinique. C. Waikiki. D. Myrtle Beach. 23. What is the common feature of the four beaches? A. Flavoured foods. B. Economical budget. C. Luxurious activities. D. Convenient transport. B Once flying globally, University of Vermont music professor David Feurzeig is demonstrating how locals can fight climate change and promote community in his “Play Every Town Project”. Feurzeig once prided himself on attending musical festivals around the world. “For academic musicians,” he notes on his website, “there are motivations to fly, fly, fly. The farther the performance, the more reputation and promotion.” Then Feurzeig thought about how such carbon-intensive travel contributes to the climate crisis. “Touring needs to change rapidly,” he said, “if we are to maintain a livable world.” That's why the 58- year - old has given up flying globally and instead relies on his solar-powered electric vehicle and public transportation for his current project. Feurzeig is aiming to perform a free concert in every one of Vermont's 252 cities and towns, all while promoting local and state environmental causes. Starting in May 2022 in the state's largest city of Burlington, the pianist has shared his idea at more than 50 performances. Feurzeig estimates that the project will last until the end of the decade to complete. The pianist and his stage manager travel to events in most any weather. Consider the one in Warren just after last July's historic statewide flooding. “On the recording of the concert, you can hear the stream racing by,” he said. “And I've played on the smokiest day in Vermont history, the wettest day in Vermont history, the hottest November day in Vermont history. All these things are becoming worse and more and more frequent.” So far, the project has raised more than $17,000 in donations for local and state environmental groups. “I want to support local efforts that protect our environment and bring people together. Music can spark change, one town at a time.” he said. Feurzeig's concert journey blends artistic passion with climate action, proving local green concerts echo louder than distant music festivals. 24. What motivated Feurzeig to give up flying globally? A. His concern about carbon footprint. B. His desire for academic promotion. C. Potential accident risk of long flights. D. Convenience of public transportation. 25. What is the main aim of Feurzeig's “Play Every Town Project”? A. To encourage green transportation. B. To attract more people to his concerts. C. To improve local music atmosphere. D. To promote environmental protection. 26. What does Feurzeig's experiences in bad weathers reveal? A. Vermont's fight with frequent disasters. B. Feurzeig's dedication to the project. C. The urgent need to take climate actions. D. The hardships of holding concerts. 27. Which sentence from the text can be a best summary for the text? A. The farther the performance, the more reputation and promotion. B. Carbon-intensive travel contributes to the climate crisis. C. All these things are becoming worse and more and more frequent. D. Local green concerts echo louder than distant music festivals. C Beauty and the Beast is practically “a tale as old as time.” So are a few other folktales (民间故事), new research shows. “These stories are far older than the first literary evidence for them,” says anthropologist Jamie Tehrani. When linguists study a language’s evolution, they trace grammatical and phonetical (语音的) structure through time. “What we were interested in doing is seeing if you could do that for other elements of culture,” Tehrani says. Tehrani’s research group studied 275 magic-based stories from a database of more than 2,000 types of folktales. Magic stories include beings or objects with supernatural powers and are the largest folktale group. Statistical analyses of the relationship between the folktales and language, as well as between the folktales and how they may have been shared by neighboring peoples, left the team with 76 stories that they thought were strong candidates for accurately estimating folktale age. “These methods allow us to trace much further back than the physical evidence would allow us to do,” says Tehrani, who has also studied the origins of Little Red Riding Hood. Four tales had a high probability of being associated with the structure of the Proto-Indo-European language — an ancient common language that dates to around 6,000 years ago. However, The Smith and the Devil is the only one they feel absolutely confident as being a Proto-Indo-European tale. Since the tale is associated with Proto-Indo-European language and includes a character who typically works with metal, the researchers park its origins around 6,000 years ago, in the Bronze Age. The team also found that early versions of Rumpelstiltskin and Beauty and the Beast first appear with the emergence of modern Indo-European language subfamilies. The language-story pairings suggest that the tales originated between 3,000 and 4,000 years ago. Tehrani says the researchers treated the stories like genetic information, passed from generation to generation. “We don’t invent culture anew every generation,” Tehrani says. “Instead, we inherit a lot of our culture.” 28. What did the new research want to find? A. The spreading ways of folktales. B. The structure of languages. C. The origin time of folktales. D. The evolution of languages. 29. How did Tehrani’s group estimate the age of the folktales? A. By analyzing story-language statistical links. B. By tracing grammar development of languages. C. By examine folktale-magic relationships. D. By studying genetic changes of ancient people. 30. Which folktale is believed to be the oldest according to the research? A. Beauty and the Beast. B. Little Red Riding Hood. C. The Smith and the Devil. D. Rumpelstiltskin. 31. What is close in meaning with the underlined word “inherit” in the last paragraph? A. Create. B. Receive. C. Forget. D. Change. D Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have gradually replaced handwriting in many of our daily routines. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive writing (草书) altogether, stating typing letters can fully replace and even outperform it in speed efficiency. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t give. “Statistically, most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory, including ones conducted in Japan, Norway and the United States, show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down manually than on a computer,” says Naomi S. Baron, a professor at American University in Washington D. C. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Dr. Mellissa Prunty of Brunel University of London, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. “This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children.” Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding out the newly learned letters compared with those who were asked to learn the new letters by typing or by just looking at them. “We think that the benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of multiple senses in the writing process,” says Robert Wiley, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the co-aruthor of the study. He explains that learning a new word involves connecting an abstract symbol with information on the visual, muscle working, and listening levels. Handwriting can activate more connections across these different dimensions compared with typing. 32. Why do schools stop teaching cursive writing? A. It is hard to recognise cursive writing. B. Keyboards have reduced its practical value. C It harms students’ cognitive development. D. Typing improves memory more effectively. 33. According to Dr. Prunty, how does handwriting help children? A It promotes deep processing. B. It improves their typing skill. C. It makes them write faster. D. It reduces writing mistakes. 34. What did the Arabic language study show? A. All participants preferred digital tools. B. Visual learners showed no improvement. C. Typing learners performed better in pronunciation. D. Handwriting learners recognized letters more efficiently. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The structure of our brains. B. The recent studies of learning. C. The reasons why handwriting benefits. D. The effects that multiple senses create. 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。 Women generally live longer than men, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are living better. ___36___ Scientists are trying to uncover the reasons men and women age differently in the hopes of extending life span and health span for both. The XX sex chromosomes (性染色体) in females may offer some protection. Mice with two X chromosomes tend to live longer than those with XY chromosomes. This suggests that the second X chromosome might provide a biological advantage for female mice, contributing to their longer life spans. ___37___ Estrogen (雌激素) boosts the immune system (免疫系统). Before the age of 50, women's immune systems are generally stronger than men's. ___38___ However, after that age, estrogen levels drop, and women's health risks increase. ___39___ Women are less likely to engage in risky behaviors such as smoking and heavy drinking. They also tend to practice more health-promoting behaviors. These include visiting doctors regularly, maintaining social connections, wearing seatbelts, and having annual checkups. On a broader societal level, issues like war and violence impact men. ___40___ These occupations, such as construction or mining, expose them to higher risks. They are also more likely to be homeless or locked up, all of which can affect their death rates. The longevity gap is due to a combination of biological, estrogen, lifestyle, and external factors. By exploring these factors, we can develop strategies to improve health and extend life spans for both sexes. A. This makes them better at fighting infections. B. Scientists haven't yet examined this in humans. C. Lifestyle choices are another contributing factor. D. Women tend to have shorter health spans than men. E. Men are more likely to be involved in dangerous jobs, too. F. Similar findings in humans could explain part of the life span gap. G. Changing these behaviors together can help reduce the life span gap. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One summer evening in 2010, Melissa Barbanell and her 7-year-old son, Calvin, were heading to a park.

It was his quiet moment to prepare for whatever challenges lay ahead. One morning, while sitting in his usual corner, John noticed a mother and her young son at a nearby table. The boy was chatting excitedly about the sweet cake he was enjoying, but the mother’s face looked tense (紧绷的). That stirred John’s nerve. It wasn’t just the boy’s laughter or the mother’s forced smile — it was the way she seemed to be hiding something. When the boy finished and they went out, John noticed a dairy book and a traffic ticket slipped under their table. He picked them up. On the last page of the dairy it read, “Mommy says she’s not hungry this supper again. But I know she is. I wish we had more money so she could eat too.” It explained everything: the mother was in poor condition and it got worsened after a recent fine (罚金). She couldn’t even meet basic financial balance and had to go hungry occasionally to ensure her son could eat. The traffic ticket was an obvious evidence. Suddenly it hit John — he recognized the mother. She was Laura, his childhood friend. However, they had lost touch years ago and hadn’t seen each other since. Memories of their carefree childhood days together flooded John’s mind, and he felt a deep sense of guilt: just a week earlier, he had probably issued her a fine for a minor traffic violation, which added more to her current hardship. 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Determined to assist , John left the café hurriedly to look for them. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Realizing he couldn’t solve all her problems alone, John reached out to the community. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 机密★启用前〔考试时间：2025年5月7日下午15:00—17:00〕 乐山市高中2025届第三次调查研究考试 英语 （本试卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟） 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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） 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。每段对话后面有一个小题，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。 How much is the shirt?

More roads will be painted. 【答案】17. B 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have come up with a novel solution to protect seabirds from the dangers of traffic. They have painted a long stretch of road in bright red, yellow, and white colors. The aim is to discourage the birds, especially the young ones, from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface, which unfortunately leads to many of them being killed by passing vehicles. Biologist student Hannah tells the broadcaster, “The young birds’ feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads.” Biologist Christan says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Many of the world’s best places to visit are beach destinations. What better place is there to chill than at the beach? When you’re on a budget, you can easily plan an inexpensive vacation to a super shoreline. Oceanside, California Oceanside was once a less desirable area to visit. But the city has made an effort to invest in tourism. Visitors can stay at The Brick Hotel at less than $250 a night for two people. Low-cost activities include surfing, fishing, riding bikes, and visiting the California Surf Museum. Martinique The French island of Martinique faces the calm Caribbean Sea and the more active Atlantic Ocean, with sandy beaches along the southern coast. Served by both major and cheap airlines, this destination’s delicious Creole cuisine and less touristy atmosphere attract numerous visitors. Martinique also boasts highly regarded rum wine, excellent hiking sites and a variety of festivals. Waikiki, Hawaii While oceanfront hotels on Waikiki Beach can cost over $400 a night, just a few blocks away, visitors can stay at affordable hotels for less than $150 a night. There are many budget-friendly activities, such as relaxing at the beach, hiking Diamond Head, visiting the Waikiki Marine Life Museum, and biking around town. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina With warm temperatures year-round, Myrtle Beach offers tons of outdoor activities, such as golf, fishing, and other water sports. Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offer free live entertainment, kids’ activities, and fireworks during the summer. Some hotels even offer barbecue facilities. If customers pay in advance online, rates can drop as low as $80 per night. 21. What is special for Martinique among the four places? A. Hiking. B. Food and drinks. C. Biking. D. Beach views. 22 Which place offers fireworks show? A. Oceanside. B. Martinique. C. Waikiki. D. Myrtle Beach. 23. What is the common feature of the four beaches? A. Flavoured foods. B. Economical budget. C. Luxurious activities. D. Convenient transport. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个世界上适合旅游的海滨目的地，以及它们各自的特色和适合预算有限游客的原因。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Martinique”部分的“Served by both major and cheap airlines, this destination’s delicious Creole cuisine and less touristy atmosphere attract numerous visitors. Martinique also boasts highly regarded rum wine.(这里有大型航空公司和廉价航空公司提供服务，这个旅游目的地美味的Creole美食和不太商业化的旅游氛围吸引了众多游客。Martinique岛还以备受赞誉的朗姆酒、绝佳的徒步旅行地点和各种各样的节日而自豪。)”可知，Martinique岛有美味的Creole美食和备受赞誉的朗姆酒，在食物和饮品方面有独特之处。而其他三个地方在这方面没有特别提及。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由“Myrtle Beach, South Carolina”部分的“Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offer free live entertainment, kids’ activities, and fireworks during the summer.(海滩百老汇和赤脚登陆点在夏季提供免费的现场娱乐表演、儿童活动和烟火表演。)”可知，Myrtle Beach的百老汇海滩和赤脚海滩在夏季提供免费的现场娱乐、儿童活动和烟花表演。其他三个地方均未提及有烟花表演。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“When you're on a budget, you can easily plan an inexpensive vacation to a super shoreline.(当你预算有限时，你可以轻松规划一次前往超级海岸线的经济实惠的度假之旅。)”，接着分别介绍了四个地方，都提到了有价格实惠的住宿或活动，比如Oceanside有价格低于250美元一晚的酒店，Martinique岛有便宜的航空公司，Waikiki几个街区外有不到150美元一晚的酒店，Myrtle Beach提前在网上付款酒店价格可低至80美元一晚。所以这四个海滩的共同特点是经济实惠。故选B项。 B Once flying globally, University of Vermont music professor David Feurzeig is demonstrating how locals can fight climate change and promote community in his “Play Every Town Project”. Feurzeig once prided himself on attending musical festivals around the world. “For academic musicians,” he notes on his website, “there are motivations to fly, fly, fly. The farther the performance, the more reputation and promotion.” Then Feurzeig thought about how such carbon-intensive travel contributes to the climate crisis. “Touring needs to change rapidly,” he said, “if we are to maintain a livable world.” That's why the 58- year - old has given up flying globally and instead relies on his solar-powered electric vehicle and public transportation for his current project. Feurzeig is aiming to perform a free concert in every one of Vermont's 252 cities and towns all while promoting local and state environmental causes. Starting in May 2022 in the state's largest city of Burlington, the pianist has shared his idea at more than 50 performances. Feurzeig estimates that the project will last until the end of the decade to complete. The pianist and his stage manager travel to events in most any weather. Consider the one in Warren, just after last July's historic statewide flooding. “On the recording of the concert, you can hear the stream racing by,” he said. “And I've played on the smokiest day in Vermont history, the wettest day in Vermont history, the hottest November day in Vermont history. All these things are becoming worse and more and more frequent.” So far the project has raised more than $17,000 in donations for local and state environmental groups. “I want to support local efforts that protect our environment and bring people together. Music can spark change, one town at a time.” he said. Feurzeig's concert journey blends artistic passion with climate action, proving local green concerts echo louder than distant music festivals. 24. What motivated Feurzeig to give up flying globally? A. His concern about carbon footprint. B. His desire for academic promotion. C. Potential accident risk of long flights. D. Convenience of public transportation. 25. What is the main aim of Feurzeig's “Play Every Town Project”? A. To encourage green transportation. B. To attract more people to his concerts. C. To improve local music atmosphere. D. To promote environmental protection. 26. What does Feurzeig's experiences in bad weathers reveal? A. Vermont's fight with frequent disasters. B. Feurzeig's dedication to the project. C. The urgent need to take climate actions. D. The hardships of holding concerts. 27. Which sentence from the text can be a best summary for the text? A. The farther the performance, the more reputation and promotion. B. Carbon-intensive travel contributes to the climate crisis. C. All these things are becoming worse and more and more frequent. D. Local green concerts echo louder than distant music festivals. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了佛蒙特大学音乐教授 David Feurzeig 为应对气候危机，放弃全球飞行，通过 “Play Every Town Project”，在佛蒙特州的各个城镇举办免费音乐会，推动当地环保事业，将艺术热情与气候行动相结合的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then Feurzeig thought about how such carbon-intensive travel contributes to the climate crisis. “Touring needs to change rapidly,” he said, “if we are to maintain a livable world.” That's why the 58- year - old has given up flying globally (然后 Feurzeig 思考这种高碳排的旅行是如何加剧气候危机的。他说：“如果我们要维持一个宜居的世界，巡回演出需要迅速改变”这就是为什么这位 58 岁的教授放弃了全球飞行)” 可知，Feurzeig 因为担心碳足迹对气候的影响而放弃全球飞行。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段 “Feurzeig is aiming to perform a free concert in every one of Vermont's 252 cities and towns, all while promoting local and state environmental causes. (Feurzeig 的目标是在佛蒙特州的 252 个城镇中的每一个都举办一场免费音乐会，同时推动当地和州的环境事业。)” 可知，他的 “在每个城镇演出项目” 主要目的是促进环境保护。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Consider the one in Warren, just after last July's historic statewide flooding. “On the recording of the concert, you can hear the stream racing by,” he said. “And I've played on the smokiest day in Vermont history, the wettest day in Vermont history, the hottest November day in Vermont history. All these things are becoming worse and more and more frequent.” (想想去年 7 月全州历史性洪水过后在沃伦的那场演出。他说：“在音乐会的录音中，你可以听到溪流奔腾而过的声音”。“我在佛蒙特州历史上烟雾最浓的一天、最潮湿的一天、11 月最热的一天进行了演出。所有这些情况都变得越来越糟糕，越来越频繁。”)” 可知，Feurzeig 在恶劣天气下坚持演出，且提到这些极端天气愈发糟糕和频繁，结合他为应对气候危机所做的努力，可推断出他在恶劣天气下的经历揭示了采取气候行动的迫切性。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段 “Feurzeig's concert journey blends artistic passion with climate action, proving local green concerts echo louder than distant music festivals. (Feurzeig 的音乐会之旅将艺术激情与气候行动相结合，证明了当地的绿色音乐会比遥远的音乐节更有影响力。)” 可知， Feurzeig 通过在当地举办绿色音乐会来推动环保，比之前全球飞行参加音乐节更有意义，更能产生积极影响。所以D选项“当地的绿色音乐会比遥远的音乐节反响更大。”能概括本文主旨。故选D。 C Beauty and the Beast is practically “a tale as old as time.” So are a few other folktales (民间故事), new research shows. “These stories are far older than the first literary evidence for them,” says anthropologist Jamie Tehrani. When linguists study a language’s evolution, they trace grammatical and phonetical (语音的) structure through time. “What we were interested in doing is seeing if you could do that for other elements of culture,” Tehrani says. Tehrani’s research group studied 275 magic-based stories from a database of more than 2,000 types of folktales. Magic stories include beings or objects with supernatural powers and are the largest folktale group. Statistical analyses of the relationship between the folktales and language, as well as between the folktales and how they may have been shared by neighboring peoples, left the team with 76 stories that they thought were strong candidates for accurately estimating folktale age. “These methods allow us to trace much further back than the physical evidence would allow us to do” says Tehrani, who has also studied the origins of Little Red Riding Hood. Four tales had a high probability of being associated with the structure of the Proto-Indo-European language — an ancient common language that dates to around 6,000 years ago. However, The Smith and the Devil is the only one they feel absolutely confident as being a Proto-Indo-European tale. Since the tale is associated with Proto-Indo-European language and includes a character who typically works with metal, the researchers park its origins around 6,000 years ago, in the Bronze Age. The team also found that early versions of Rumpelstiltskin and Beauty and the Beast first appear with the emergence of modern Indo-European language subfamilies. The language-story pairings suggest that the tales originated between 3,000 and 4,000 years ago. Tehrani says the researchers treated the stories like genetic information, passed from generation to generation. “We don’t invent culture anew every generation,” Tehrani says. “Instead, we inherit a lot of our culture.” 28. What did the new research want to find? A. The spreading ways of folktales. B. The structure of languages. C. The origin time of folktales. D. The evolution of languages. 29. How did Tehrani’s group estimate the age of the folktales? A. By analyzing story-language statistical links. B. By tracing grammar development of languages. C. By examine folktale-magic relationships. D. By studying genetic changes of ancient people. 30. Which folktale is believed to be the oldest according to the research? A. Beauty and the Beast. B. Little Red Riding Hood. C. The Smith and the Devil. D. Rumpelstiltskin. 31. What is close in meaning with the underlined word “inherit” in the last paragraph? A. Create. B. Receive. C. Forget. D. Change. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究人员将民间故事和语言结合分析来推测民间故事的发生时间。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Beauty and the Beast is practically “a tale as old as time.” So are a few other folktales (民间故事), new research shows. “These stories are far older than the first literary evidence for them,” says anthropologist Jamie Tehrani. When linguists study a language’s evolution, they trace grammatical and phonetical (语音的) structure through time. “What we were interested in doing is seeing if you could do that for other elements of culture,” Tehrani says.(新的研究表明，《美女与野兽》实际上是“一个与时间一样古老的故事”。其他一些民间故事也是如此。人类学家Jamie Tehrani说：“这些故事比它们的第一批文学证据要古老得多。”当语言学家研究语言的演变时，他们会追踪贯穿时间的语法和语音结构。Tehrani说：“我们有兴趣做的是，看看你是否可以为文化的其他元素这么做”。)”和第二段中的“Statistical analyses of the relationship between the folktales and language, as well as between the folktales and how they may have been shared by neighboring peoples, left the team with 76 stories that they thought were strong candidates for accurately estimating folktale age.(对民间故事和语言之间的关系，以及民间故事之间的关系以及它们如何被邻国人民分享的统计分析，让团队有76个故事，他们认为这些故事是准确估计民间故事年龄的有力候选者。)”可知，第一段指出新研究发现民间故事的起源早于文学证据，并讲述想要探索民间故事是否像语言一样可以通过时间追溯，第二段指出研究人员筛选出了76个可以用来准确估计民间故事年龄的故事，由此可推测出，研究目标是确定民间故事的起源时间。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Statistical analyses of the relationship between the folktales and language, as well as between the folktales and how they may have been shared by neighboring peoples, left the team with 76 stories that they thought were strong candidates for accurately estimating folktale age.(对民间故事和语言之间的关系，以及民间故事之间的关系和它们如何被邻国人民分享的统计分析，让团队有76个故事，他们认为这些故事是准确估计民间故事年龄的有力候选者。)”和第三段中的“The language-story pairings suggest that the tales originated between 3,000 and 4,000 years ago.(语言-故事配对表明，这些故事起源于3000年至4000年前。)”可知，研究团队通过分析民间故事与语言之间的统计关系、民间故事之间的关系以及故事传播方式，筛选出可能准确反映年龄的故事。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Four tales had a high probability of being associated with the structure of the Proto-Indo-European language — an ancient common language that dates to around 6,000 years ago. However, The Smith and the Devil is the only one they feel absolutely confident as being a Proto-Indo-European tale.(四个故事很可能与原始印欧语的结构有关，这是一种可以追溯到大约6000年前的古老通用语言。然而，《铁匠与魔鬼》是他们唯一一部绝对确认的原始印欧故事。)”和“The team also found that early versions of Rumpelstiltskin and Beauty and the Beast first appear with the emergence of modern Indo-European language subfamilies.(研究小组还发现，《侏儒怪》和《美女与野兽》的早期版本最初是随着现代印欧语系的出现而出现的。)”可知，《铁匠与魔鬼》被确认为唯一明确属于原始印欧语（约6000年前）的故事，《侏儒怪》和《美女与野兽》是随着现代印欧语系的出现而出现的，所以《铁匠与魔鬼》早于《侏儒怪》和《美女与野兽》，《小红帽》的时间文中并未明确提出。由此可推测出，《铁匠与魔鬼》是研究中的最古老的故事。故选C。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Tehrani says the researchers treated the stories like genetic information, passed from generation to generation.“We don’t invent culture anew every generation,” Tehrani says. “Instead, we inherit a lot of our culture.”(Tehrani说，研究人员将这些故事视为遗传信息，代代相传。“我们不会每一代人都重新发明文化，”Tehrani说。“相反，我们inherit很多我们的文化。”)”可知，这些故事代代相传，且我们并非每一代都重新创造文化，由此可推测出，我们继承了许多文化，inherit意为“继承”，与receive(接受)意思相近。故选B。 D Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have gradually replaced handwriting in many of our daily routines. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive writing (草书) altogether, stating typing letters can fully replace and even outperform it in speed efficiency. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t give. “Statistically, most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory, including ones conducted in Japan, Norway and the United States, show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down manually than on a computer,” says Naomi S. Baron, a professor at American University in Washington D. C. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Dr. Mellissa Prunty of Brunel University of London, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. “This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children.” Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding out the newly learned letters compared with those who were asked to learn the new letters by typing or by just looking at them. “We think that the benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of multiple senses in the writing process,” says Robert Wiley, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the co-aruthor of the study. He explains that learning a new word involves connecting an abstract symbol with information on the visual, muscle working, and listening levels. Handwriting can activate more connections across these different dimensions compared with typing. 32. Why do schools stop teaching cursive writing? A. It is hard to recognise cursive writing. B. Keyboards have reduced its practical value. C. It harms students’ cognitive development. D. Typing improves memory more effectively. 33. According to Dr. Prunty, how does handwriting help children? A. It promotes deep processing. B. It improves their typing skill. C. It makes them write faster. D. It reduces writing mistakes. 34. What did the Arabic language study show? A. All participants preferred digital tools. B. Visual learners showed no improvement. C. Typing learners performed better in pronunciation. D. Handwriting learners recognized letters more efficiently. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The structure of our brains. B. The recent studies of learning. C. The reasons why handwriting benefits. D. The effects that multiple senses create. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了书写对认知的好处及相关研究，建议人们保留书写练习。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive writing (草书) altogether, stating typing letters can fully replace and even outperform it in speed efficiency.(世界上的一些学校甚至完全停止了草书的教学，称打字在速度效率上可以完全取代甚至超过草书。)”可知，一些学校停止教草书是因为认为打字能在速度效率上完全取代甚至超过草书，也就是键盘降低了草书的实用价值。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children.(这种更深层次的处理过程，包括将声音映射到字母形态上，已被证明对儿童的阅读和拼写有帮助。)”可知，手写涉及到将声音映射到字母形态上的更深层次处理，这对儿童的阅读和拼写有帮助，即手写促进深度处理。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding out the newly learned letters compared with those who were asked to learn the new letters by typing or by just looking at them.(一项涉及 42 名学习阿拉伯语的成年人的研究发现，那些通过手写来学习字母的参与者，在识别字母时速度更快，更容易说出字母的名字，并且在拼读新学的字母方面，比那些被要求通过打字或只是看字母来学习的人表现得更好。)”可知，通过手写学习字母的参与者在识别字母方面速度更快，也就是手写学习者更有效地识别字母。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“We think that the benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of multiple senses in the writing process.(我们认为手写的好处部分归因于在书写过程中多种感官的参与。)”以及后面的解释可知，最后一段主要讲了手写有益的原因。故选C项。 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。 Women generally live longer than men, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are living better. ___36___ Scientists are trying to uncover the reasons men and women age differently in the hopes of extending life span and health span for both. The XX sex chromosomes (性染色体) in females may offer some protection. Mice with two X chromosomes tend to live longer than those with XY chromosomes. This suggests that the second X chromosome might provide a biological advantage for female mice, contributing to their longer life spans. ___37___ Estrogen (雌激素) boosts the immune system (免疫系统). Before the age of 50, women's immune systems are generally stronger than men's. ___38___ However, after that age, estrogen levels drop, and women's health risks increase. ___39___ Women are less likely to engage in risky behaviors such as smoking and heavy drinking. They also tend to practice more health-promoting behaviors. These include visiting doctors regularly, maintaining social connections, wearing seatbelts, and having annual checkups. On a broader societal level, issues like war and violence impact men. ___40___ These occupations, such as construction or mining, expose them to higher risks. They are also more likely to be homeless or locked up, all of which can affect their death rates. The longevity gap is due to a combination of biological, estrogen, lifestyle, and external factors. By exploring these factors, we can develop strategies to improve health and extend life spans for both sexes. A. This makes them better at fighting infections. B. Scientists haven't yet examined this in humans. C. Lifestyle choices are another contributing factor. D. Women tend to have shorter health spans than men. E. Men are more likely to be involved in dangerous jobs, too. F. Similar findings in humans could explain part of the life span gap. G. Changing these behaviors together can help reduce the life span gap. 【答案】36. D 37. F 38. A 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要探讨了女性比男性寿命长但不一定生活更好的原因，包括生物学因素（性染色体、雌激素）、生活方式因素以及社会层面的因素等。 【36题详解】 上文“Women generally live longer than men, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are living better.(女性通常比男性寿命长，但这并不一定意味着她们生活得更好。)”指出女性寿命长但生活不一定更好，下文“Scientists are trying to uncover the reasons men and women age differently in the hopes of extending life span and health span for both.(科学家们正试图揭示男性和女性衰老方式不同的原因，希望能延长两性的寿命和健康寿命。)”说科学家研究男女衰老不同的原因以延长寿命和健康寿命，选项D“Women tend to have shorter health spans than men.”（女性的健康寿命往往比男性短）承上启下，说明女性虽然寿命长，但健康寿命可能较短，符合语境。故选D项。 【37题详解】 上文“Mice with two X chromosomes tend to live longer than those with XY chromosomes. This suggests that the second X chromosome might provide a biological advantage for female mice, contributing to their longer life spans.(拥有两条X染色体的小鼠往往比拥有 XY 染色体的小鼠寿命更长。这表明第二条X染色体可能为雌性小鼠提供了生物学上的优势，有助于它们延长寿命。)”讲述了在小鼠身上的研究，即拥有两条X染色体的小鼠寿命更长，第二条X染色体可能对雌性小鼠有生物学优势，选项F“Similar findings in humans could explain part of the life span gap.”（在人类身上类似的发现可以解释寿命差距的一部分）将在小鼠身上的发现延伸到人类身上，说明如果人类也有类似发现，能解释寿命差距，承接上文。故选F项 。 【38题详解】 上文 “Before the age of 50, women's immune systems are generally stronger than men’s.(在50岁之前，女性的免疫系统通常比男性更强。)”提到50岁前女性免疫系统更强，选项A“This makes them better at fighting infections.”（这使得她们更擅长对抗感染）中的“This” 指代女性免疫系统更强这件事，说明了免疫系统强的好处，符合逻辑。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Women are less likely to engage in risky behaviors such as smoking and heavy drinking. They also tend to practice more health-promoting behaviors.(女性不太可能从事吸烟和酗酒等危险行为。她们也更倾向于采取促进健康的行为。)”可知，此处讲的是生活方式的选择对健康的影响，选项C“Lifestyle choices are another contributing factor.”(生活方式的选择是另一个促成因素)作为段落主题句，引出下文关于生活方式的阐述。故选C项。 【40题详解】 上文“On a broader societal level, issues like war and violence impact men.(在更广泛的社会层面上，战争和暴力等问题会影响男性。)”提到战争和暴力等社会问题影响男性，下文“These occupations, such as construction or mining, expose them to higher risks.(这些职业，如建筑或采矿，使他们面临更高的风险。)” 指出一些职业让男性面临更高风险，选项E“Men are more likely to be involved in dangerous jobs, too.”（男性也更有可能从事危险的工作）说明男性从事危险工作，与上下文衔接紧密。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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One summer evening in 2010, Melissa Barbanell and her 7-year-old son, Calvin, were heading to a park.

Fascinated by its harmony of old and new, my journey began a decade ago, when I first marveled at how the city balanced tradition with progress. After moving here in 2020, I explored famous ___60___ (site) like the Summer Palace and Lama Temple.

Every corner holds a story, waiting to be discovered. 【答案】56. between 57. features 58. architectural 59. a 60. sites 61. where 62. built 63. contrasting 64. is designed 65. truly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了北京的建筑特色融合了古代和现代文明。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：北京是一座连接古代文明和现代文明的桥梁。根据空前的“bridge”和空后的“ancient and modern civilizations”可知，这里表示连接古代文明和现代文明的桥梁，应用介词between，意为“介于……之间”。故填between。 【57题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：这座城市的布局是在明朝设计的，以从紫禁城向外延伸的环形道路为特色。空处在句中作谓语，这里陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语为layout，谓语应用第三人称单数形式features。故填features。 【58题详解】 考查形容词。句意：除了古老的奇观，北京也是一个充分拥抱现代生活快节奏发展的地方，21世纪的建筑奇观与过去的文物并肩而立。空处修饰wonders，应用形容词作定语，architectural意为“建筑学的，建筑方面的”。故填architectural。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：像中央电视台大楼这样的摩天大楼靠近文物，创造了独特的城市景观。此处泛指一种独特的城市景观，且unique发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 【60题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：2020年搬到这里后，我游览了颐和园和雍和宫等著名景点。site意为“地点”，为可数名词，空处没有表示数量的限定词，结合“like the Summer Palace and Lama Temple”可知，这里泛指多处景点，应用名词复数。故填sites。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：但真正的魔力在于在胡同里漫无目的地游荡，胡同里的老茶馆坐落在时髦的咖啡馆旁边。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为hutong，指地点，且关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where。故填where。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一个完美的例子是建于1444年的智化寺。本句已有is，空处应作非谓语动词。逻辑主语Zhihua Temple和build之间是被动关系，且这里表示的动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填built。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它最初占地2万平方米，现在依偎在胡同中，其古老的建筑与附近的银河SOHO形成了鲜明的对比。本句的谓语是nestles，主语it和its ancient architecture不一致，所以its ancient architecture ___8___(contrast) the nearby Galaxy SOHO是独立主格结构，空处应用非谓语动词。its ancient architecture和contrast之间是主谓关系，所以空处用现在分词形式。故填contrasting。 【64题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：这座城市的设计尊重过去，拥抱现代世界，其非凡发展确实令人鼓舞。根据句中的is和句意，这里陈述的是现实情况，应用一般现在时，且which指代this city，和design之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，be动词用is。故填is designed。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意参考上题。空处修饰inspiring，应用副词作状语。truly意为“确实”。故填truly。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，上周在某英文网购平台上购买了一支电子点读笔，收到后发现存在质量问题。请你给网店客服写一封投诉信，内容包括： 1.描述问题； 2.提出诉求。 参考词汇： 网购平台：（E-commerce）platform 电子点读笔： E-reading pen（electronic reading pen） 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To whom it may concern, I’m Li Hua, a disappointed customer. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your timely reply.

It was his quiet moment to prepare for whatever challenges lay ahead. One morning, while sitting in his usual corner, John noticed a mother and her young son at a nearby table. The boy was chatting excitedly about the sweet cake he was enjoying, but the mother’s face looked tense (紧绷的). That stirred John’s nerve. It wasn’t just the boy’s laughter or the mother’s forced smile — it was the way she seemed to be hiding something. When the boy finished and they went out, John noticed a dairy book and a traffic ticket slipped under their table. He picked them up. On the last page of the dairy it read, “Mommy says she’s not hungry this supper again. But I know she is. I wish we had more money so she could eat too.” It explained everything: the mother was in poor condition and it got worsened after a recent fine (罚金). She couldn’t even meet basic financial balance and had to go hungry occasionally to ensure her son could eat. The traffic ticket was an obvious evidence. Suddenly it hit John — he recognized the mother. She was Laura, his childhood friend. However, they had lost touch years ago and hadn’t seen each other since. Memories of their carefree childhood days together flooded John’s mind, and he felt a deep sense of guilt: just a week earlier, he had probably issued her a fine for a minor traffic violation, which added more to her current hardship. 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Determined to assist , John left the café hurriedly to look for them. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Realizing he couldn’t solve all her problems alone, John reached out to the community. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible Version Determined to assist, John left the café hurriedly to look for them. As he turned the corner of the street, he saw them walking slowly a few blocks ahead. “Laura!” John called out. Laura turned, her face in surprise. John explained what he had found and expressed his wish to help. Tears filled the mother’s eyes. John offered to invite them back to the café for a warm meal. Over the meal, Laura told him that she was a single mother and out of work now, and she couldn’t even afford her son’s education fee. Realizing he couldn’t solve all her problems alone, John reached out to the community. He organized a small gathering at the local community center, explaining Laura’s situation to the neighbors. Everyone was touched. Later on, the owner of a nearby grocery store offered Laura a job. A local charity school provided a place for Laura’s son. Laura often expressed her gratitude, saying how greatly John’s help had turned their lives around. But every time John said the same words, “small acts of kindness always bring happiness.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了交警John Stewart在咖啡馆遇到童年好友Laura及其儿子，发现Laura因生活贫困且被罚款而陷入困境，John决心帮助他们的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“John决心帮忙，便匆匆离开咖啡馆去找他们。”可知，第一段可描写John找到Laura母子，解释自己发现的事情，并表示愿意帮助他们，之后带他们回咖啡馆吃饭，了解Laura更多情况。 ②由第二段首句“意识到自己无法独自解决Laura的所有问题，John向社区求助。”可知，第二段可描写John在社区中心组织聚会，向邻居说明Laura的情况，大家纷纷伸出援手，为Laura提供工作和孩子上学机会，Laura对John充满感激，John则认为是小善举带来大幸福。 2.续写线索： John找到Laura母子——了解Laura困境——John向社区求助——邻居提供帮助——Laura表达感激及John的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①表达：express/convey ②组织：organize/conduct ③提供：offer/provide 情感类： ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型 1].
