Liu’s projects include local elements and rely on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, The Spaces reported. “He has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award. One of Liu’s best-known projects was the “rebirth bricks” he created after Wenchuan earthquake. To aid in reconstruction, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement and rubble from collapsed buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks were “a poetic metaphor” for the rebirth of the material and “the spiritual rebirth of the community at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian. Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people, which is reflected in his largest project, West Village, an urban complex in Chengdu. It includes a soccer field, a market, and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the vitality of ’everydayness’”, wrote critic Austin Williams. It has become a popular destination for city residents to spend their leisure time. “The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified (有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” Liu told China Daily. 1. Why was Liu awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize? A. For the low-tech simplicity of his design. B. For the everyday vitality shown by his projects. C. For the poetic metaphors conveyed by his works. D. For the unique strategy adopted in his architecture. 2. What does the example of West Village show? A. Chengdu people’s leisure activities. B. The success of Liu’s biggest project. C. Liu’s concern about ordinary people. D. Liu’s purpose of designing buildings. 3. Which section of the newspaper is the text most likely from? A. Technology. B. Feature. C. Economy. D. Environment. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了成都建筑师刘家琨荣获2025年普利兹克建筑奖。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““He has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award.(评审团在宣布该奖项时表示：“他制定了一种策略，从不依赖重复的方法，而是根据不同项目的具体特点和要求进行不同的评估。”)”可知，刘家琨因其建筑中采用的独特策略而荣获普利兹克建筑奖。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people, which is reflected in his largest project, West Village, an urban complex in Chengdu. (刘家琨的设计也关注普通人，这体现在他最大的项目——成都的西村城市综合体中)”可知，西村的例子展示了刘家琨对普通人的关注。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Chengdu architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4, becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of architecture. (3月4日，成都建筑师刘家琨荣获2025年普利兹克建筑奖，成为第二位获此建筑领域最高荣誉的中国建筑师)”可知，本文主要讲述了成都建筑师刘家琨荣获2025年普利兹克建筑奖的相关情况，包括他的设计理念、代表作品以及他对建筑目的的理解等，属于人物特写类文章。由此推知，本文最有可能来自报纸的“特写”版块。故选B。 B Madison Marsh is not only the current Miss Colorado but also a Harvard student and a U.S. Air Force soldier. In 2023, the 22-year-old ran for the Miss America crown, an event that now features high pressure interviews on stage and a fitness competition and she won them all. “Pageants (选美比赛) are changing and one of the ways is in what being beautiful means to women. My cousin competed in pageants because she loved community services and wanted to improve her public speaking skills. For me, I needed to stay physically fit for the army, so preparing for the competition could make me do more exercise. As a young girl, Madison dreamed of being a pilot and astronaut. Her parents sent her to Space Camp when she was 13, “In the camp, I performed simulated (模拟的) space tasks and was placed in a simulated setting that is realistic to obtain a taste of what it is like to be an astronaut first-hand,” Madison said. At 17, she started flying lessons and earned her pilot's license two years later, Madison’s future may see her as a fighter pilot, but the sad loss of her mother to cancer pulled Madison toward a career in cancer research. She realized that her bigger passion was to do canoer research. So she studied hard and entered a master's degree program at the Harvard Kennedy School. “Currently I am always invited to give speeches at different schools. I enjoy talking with other young girls about being a pilot and a Harvard student. It’s a great experience to bring both sides of the favorite parts of my life together and hopefully make a difference for others to be able to realize that you don’t have to limit yourself,” Madison said. “With strong determination and resolve, a person can always figure out how to make something significant happen despite challenges or limitations,” Madison said in one of her speeches. 4.

My cousin competed in pageants because she loved community services and wanted to improve her public speaking skills. For me, I needed to stay physically fit for the army, so preparing for the competition could make me do more exercise.(选美比赛正在发生变化，其中一个体现就是美丽对于女性的意义有了不同。我的表姐参加选美比赛是因为她热爱社区服务，并且想要提升自己的公众演讲技巧。对我来说，我在军队里需要保持身体健康，所以为比赛做准备能让我进行更多的锻炼。”)”可知，Madison Marsh参加选美比赛是因为她在军队里需要保持身体健康，为选美比赛做准备能让她进行更多的锻炼，也就是能获得额外的锻炼动力。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Her parents sent her to Space Camp when she was 13, “In the camp, I performed simulated (模拟的) space tasks and was placed in a simulated setting that is realistic to obtain a taste of what it is like to be an astronaut first-hand,” Madison said.(她13岁时，父母送她去了太空营。“在太空营里，我执行了模拟太空任务，并且被置身于一个高度逼真的模拟环境中，从而能够亲身体验当宇航员的感觉。”Madison说道。)”可知，在太空营里，Madison执行模拟太空任务，并且被置身于一个高度逼真的模拟环境中，从而能够亲身体验当宇航员的感觉。由此可知，Madison认为太空营里是沉浸式的。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““Currently I am always invited to give speeches at different schools. I enjoy talking with other young girls about being a pilot and a Harvard student. It’s a great experience to bring both sides of the favorite parts of my life together and hopefully make a difference for others to be able to realize that you don’t have to limit yourself,” Madison said.(“目前，我经常受邀到不同的学校去演讲。我喜欢和其他年轻女孩分享作为一名飞行员和哈佛学生的经历。能把我生活中最喜欢的两个方面结合起来，这是一段很棒的经历，而且希望能对他人有所影响，让他们意识到自己不必给自己设限。”Madison说道。)”可知，目前Madison经常受邀到不同学校演讲，她喜欢和其他年轻女孩分享作为飞行员和哈佛学生的经历，希望能让其他人意识到不必给自己设限，也就是她目前专注于激励年轻一代。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章讲述了Madison Marsh身兼数职，既是科罗拉多州小姐、哈佛学生，又是美国空军士兵。她有着成为飞行员和宇航员的梦想，通过努力学习飞行课程获得了飞行员执照。母亲因癌症离世后，她又投身癌症研究并进入哈佛攻读硕士学位。此外，她还经常到不同学校演讲，激励年轻一代。她凭借坚定的决心和毅力克服了各种挑战，实现了多个目标。Madison Marsh无论在追求飞行梦想、进行癌症研究还是其他方面，都展现出了坚定的意志，最终实现了自己的目标，很好地体现了“有志者，事竟成”的道理。故选C。 C When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes. “We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well-connected with the start of this earthquake crowds,” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.” The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming. “If we’re going into a climate that’s changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth’s crust (地壳) is loaded,” Frank adds. “That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a link we could further explore.” 8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the main topic. B. Describe a scientific experiment. C. Present different opinions on earthquakes. D. Explain the causes of earthquakes in detail. 9. What is the finding of the study? A. Heavy rainfall indicates big earthquakes. B. Global warming will lead to more snowfall. C. There will be more and more earthquakes in the future. D. Certain weather events may contribute to some earthquakes. 10. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The research results will be applied immediately. B. The influence of climate on earthquakes will decrease. C. There will be no earthquakes caused by underground faults. D More research on the climate-earthquake link will be conducted. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Earthquakes B. How to Predict Earthquakes C. Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link D. The Effects of Global Warming on Earthquakes 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了地震的传统成因，如地壳板块碰撞和地下断层移动，并报道了MIT科学家最新的研究发现，即特定的天气事件，例如大雪和降雨，可能对某些地震的发生起到促进作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. (但麻省理工学院的科学家现在发现，某些天气事件也可能在引发地震方面发挥作用)”可知，作者在第一段中主要介绍了麻省理工学院科学家发现的新内容，即“某些天气事件可能在引发地震方面发挥作用”，暗示文章将讨论关于地震的新见解。由此推知，作者在第一段中的目的是介绍文章的主要话题。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. (但麻省理工学院的科学家现在发现，某些天气事件也可能在引发地震方面发挥作用)”以及第二段中“The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes. (该研究首次表明气候条件可能导致一些地震)”可知，研究发现某些天气事件可能有助于引发地震。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. (科学家们怀疑，地震与气候之间的这种新联系可能不仅限于日本，也可能对世界其他地区产生影响)”以及最后一段中“That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a link we could further explore. (这肯定会有影响，这是我们可以进一步探讨的联系)”可知，对于气候和地震之间的联系科学家怀疑不仅限于日本，且研究者认为这是一个可以进一步探讨的联系。由此推知，将来他们将会对气候和地震之间的联系进行更多的研究。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. (但麻省理工学院的科学家现在发现，某些天气事件也可能在引发地震方面发挥作用)”以及倒数第二段中“Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming. (展望未来，他们预测，随着全球变暖，气候对地震的影响可能会更加明显)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家发现了气候条件与地震之间的一个新联系，并且预测，随着全球变暖，气候对地震的影响可能会更加明显。由此可知，C项“气候和地震：新的联系”适合作文章标题。故选C。 D Today and every day we are the targets of advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. And they’re good at it. Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to pull at to increase its success. But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion — the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it. Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were greeted with images of either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofa s for purchase whereas those who saw the money preferred cheaper models. Long before scientists started studying the process of pre-suasion, a few notable communicators already had an intuitive（直觉的）understanding of it. For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but...” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting（鼓吹）the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity. Credited with breaking open the US market for small cars, the ad campaign has been rated among the greatest of all time. With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements — great praises, emotional pull, lastchance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do. 12. What aspect of advertising has been commonly overlooked according to the text? A. The use of psychological strings to influence people. B. The effort to convince people without their knowledge. C. The choice of communication channels for more success. D. The improvement of message contents to attract buyers. 13. Which of the following examples best illustrates the concept of pre-suasion? A. An online store trumpeting special offers. B. A banker explaining interest rates to customers. C. A car dealer offering discounts to potential buyers. D. A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season. 14. What can be learned about the Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign in the 1950s? A. It focused on emotional appeals. B. It failed to highlight its strengths. C. It thoroughly changed the US small-sized car market. D. It strategically introduced an unconventional product. 15. What can we infer about practitioners of social influence? A. They have been expert at applying pre-suasion. B. They have maximized their impact with persuasion. C. They have generally ignored the effectiveness of pre-suasion. D. They have combined pre-suasion with persuasion effectively. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“预说服”（pre-suasion）这一概念。多年来广告商等在说服他人时往往注重信息本身，而忽略了预说服这一关键要素。预说服是指在人们知晓信息内容之前就使其倾向于认同该信息，文中还通过具体例子说明了预说服的作用及效果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process.( 但是，由于过于关注信息本身，他们错过了这个过程的一个关键组成部分。)”以及第三段中“Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion — the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it.( 过去15年的研究表明，最好的说服是通过预说服实现的，即在人们还不知道信息内容之前就安排他们同意信息的做法。)”可知，广告商等通常关注信息本身，而忽略了让人们在不知情的情况下就倾向于认同信息这一关键要素，也就是预说服。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones.( 预说服的工作原理是把人们的注意力集中在一个选定的概念上，这反过来又刺激他们高估这个概念，而不是相关的概念。)”可知，预说服是通过将人们的注意力集中在一个选定的概念上，从而使他们高估这个概念。D 选项“A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season.”（一家商店在圣诞节期间播放《铃儿响叮当》），在圣诞节期间播放特定的音乐，能让顾客将注意力集中在圣诞节这个概念上，进而可能影响他们的消费行为，比如更倾向于购买节日相关商品，符合预说服的概念。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but...” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting（鼓吹）the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity.( 例如，上世纪50年代末，广告公司道尔•丹恩•伯恩巴赫（Doyle Dane Bernbach）采用了预先说服策略，将外形奇特的大众甲壳虫（Volkswagen Beetle）引入了美国市场，当时美国市场由大型、强劲、像船一样的汽车主导。“我们很丑，但是……”的宣传活动，在宣传这款车的优势，如经济、可靠和简单之前，有策略地承认了外观上的局限性。)”可知，在 20 世纪 50 年代，大众甲壳虫汽车的广告活动采用了预说服策略，在宣传汽车的优势（如经济性、可靠性和简洁性）之前，先承认了其外观上的不足，这种策略是为了向以大型、强大、船型车辆为主的美国市场引入这款造型奇特的汽车，也就是有策略地引入了一款非传统的产品。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements — great praises, emotional pull, lastchance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do.( 在相当大的成功中，社会影响力的实践者总是在他们的呼吁中加入有说服力的元素——伟大的赞美、情感的牵引、最后的机会。也许正是因为这种成功，他们大多忽略了一个伴随而来的真相。为了产生最大的影响，不仅仅是你做了什么；这也是你在做你要做的事情之前要做的事情。)”可知，有影响力的社会从业者在他们的诉求中总是包含有说服力的元素（如高度赞扬、情感吸引、最后机会等），但由于他们在这方面的成功，他们大多忽略了预说服这一重要因素。故选C项。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 How to Improve Debating Skills Debating is a subjective judgment, so debaters may apply different methods at different times. ____16____.

SpaceX’s Starship sees the company get closer to its reusable rocket dream On Oct 13, 2024, the US-based space tech company SpaceX successfully completed its fifth test flight of Starship, a powerful rocket, in Texas, US. This brought the company one step closer to its goal of creating reusable rockets, reported AFP. The giant rocket is 12-meter-tall and it ___36___ (consist) of two parts, the Starship spacecraft at the top and the Super Heavy rocket ___37___ (attach) below. Around seven minutes after launch, the two separated about 70 kilometers above the ground. The rocket’s booster flew back and gradually adjusted ___38___ into a standing position. Then, it began to fall, as two large mechanical arms extended from the launch tower. Like a pair of chopsticks, they “caught” the 71-meter-tall booster and brought it down to a gentle stop. Later on, the spacecraft landed in the Indian Ocean as planned. SpaceX said on its website that its engineers “spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt”. During the test, teams kept checking to ensure both the booster and the tower fit “thousands” of standards ___39___ any attempt to return the booster was made. Had the conditions not been satisfied, it would have been redirected for a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, as in previous tests. SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the ultimate goal of helping humans settle on the moon, Mars and beyond. The company has grown rapidly into a leader in the space industry thanks to its strategy of “fail fast, learn fast”. The Starship’s first few test flights failed due to problems___40___ explosions or a loss of contact. SpaceX sees failures as opportunities to gather data and speed up the creation of better systems than its competitors, ___41___ differs from the traditional approach of identifying and planning for potential problems before a launch, ___42___ practiced by organizations like NASA, which can be ___43___ (slow), according to The Conversation. For example, NASA’s Space Launch System-the rocket designed to take astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program-took over 10 years ___44___ (develop) before its first launch. Starship represents an advancement over SpaceX’s earlier reusable model, Falcon 9, as Starship’s reusable rockets ____45____ now have their tanks refilled after a quick check and get ready for the next flight again. “Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff,” Elon Musk said on X. 【答案】36. consists 37. attached 38. itself 39. before 40. such as 41. which 42. as 43. slower 44. to develop 45. can 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了SpaceX公司Starship项目第五次测试飞行的成功以及SpaceX在可重复使用火箭技术方面的进展。 【36题详解】 考查一般现在时。句意：这枚巨大的火箭高12米，由两部分组成，顶部是Starship飞船，下面是Super Heavy火箭。consist在句中充当谓语，根据句意，这里描述的是客观事实，需用一般现在时。故填consists。 【37题详解】 考查过去分词形式作后置定语。句意：这枚巨大的火箭高12米，由两部分组成，顶部是Starship飞船，下面是Super Heavy火箭。句子已经存在谓语consist，所以attach需要转为非谓语动词；它与Super Heavy rocket之间是被动关系，需用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填attached。 【38题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：火箭的助推器飞回并逐渐调整到直立位置。结合句意，助推器会调整自身状态，直到直立状态，这里考查短语adjust oneself into...，空格中应该填入反身代词itself，代指助推器自身。故填itself。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：在测试过程中，团队一直在检查以确保助推器和发射塔符合“数千条”标准，然后才尝试返回助推器。根据句意，这里表示“在助推器返回前”就应该检查各种标准，故填before。 【40题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：Starship的前几次测试飞行失败是由于爆炸或失去联系等问题。根据横线后的explosions or a loss of contact判断，这里在举例描述问题是什么，应该使用such as。故填such as。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：SpaceX将失败视为收集数据和加速创建比竞争对手更好的系统的机会，这与传统的在发射前识别和规划潜在问题的方法不同，这种方法由像NASA这样的组织实践，可能会比较缓慢，根据The Conversation的报道。这里是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是横线前的句子，关系词在从句中充当主语，应该使用which引导从句。故填which。 【42题详解】 考查连词。句意：SpaceX将失败视为收集数据和加速创建比竞争对手更好的系统的机会，这与传统的在发射前识别和规划潜在问题的方法不同，这种方法由像NASA这样的组织实践，可能会比较缓慢，根据The Conversation的报道。结合句意，这里表示“正如NASA实践的方法那样”，应该使用as。故填as。 【43题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：SpaceX将失败视为收集数据和加速创建比竞争对手更好的系统的机会，这与传统的在发射前识别和规划潜在问题的方法不同，这种方法由像NASA这样的组织实践，可能会比较缓慢，根据The Conversation的报道。根据句意，表示传统方法是“比较缓慢的”，需用slower。故填slower。 【44题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：例如，NASA的太空发射系统——作为阿尔忒弥斯计划的一部分，用于将宇航员送往月球的火箭——在首次发射前花了超过10年的时间来开发。这里考查固定句型“take time to do”，意思是“花费……做……”。故填to develop。 【45题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：Starship代表了SpaceX早期可重复使用模型Falcon 9的进步，因为Starship的可重复使用火箭现在可以在快速检查后重新加油，并准备好再次飞行。根据句意，这里表示Starship现在具备了新的能力，根据句子结构，使用情态动词can和动词原形构成复合谓语。故填can。 六、书面表达：共15分。 46. 假如你叫李华，你的英国朋友Jack给你写信，请你介绍一些关于端午节的情况。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 回信目的； 2 端午节介绍：传统节日；时间、渊源及活动（龙舟比赛，吃粽子等）； 3. 邀他来中国体验节日。 注意：词数100左右； 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jack, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack, I’m glad to receive your letter.

I grabbed my backpack and headed to the library for my favorite weekly after-school activity: Writing Club. “Hello, everyone,” said Miss Lisa, our writing club leader. “Today we’ll share our stories with a critique partner, who will give us helpful feedback (反馈) to improve them. Then submit your story by next week, solo or coauthored.” My partner was Penny. I was nervous. I had no problem coming up with great story ideas but struggled with spelling. And grammar. And punctuation. Penny, who always got perfect scores in those areas, didn’t look at me as she pushed her story towards me. I read it without stopping. “Wow, great story,” I told her, “I don’t have any suggestions.” She corrected some mistakes in my story hurriedly, and handed it back without looking at me. “OK, time is up for today,” said Miss Lisa. Penny looked relieved. She jumped up and grabbed her backpack. Bang! Everything fell out. She quickly stuffed it back in and hurried away. I noticed a book under the table. The description on the back matched Penny’s story exactly. I couldn’t believe she had copied this idea! Outside the school, spotting Penny on a bench, I walked over. “You dropped this,” I said, holding out the book and raising my eyebrows. Penny’s shoulders were slumped. She sniffed and wiped her nose on her sleeve. She was crying, “Didn’t know what to write!” All of a sudden, I wasn’t angry anymore. I remembered my job as her partner was to give helpful feedback, not to make her feel bad. But what should I say? I decided to ask Mom for advice. In the kitchen, Dad chopped vegetables perfectly while Mom stirred a sauce. She offered him a taste. “It’s good,” Dad said, “but I think...” “It needs something extra. I have an idea.” Mom interjected. He handed her a measuring spoon. “To get the right amount.” Mom added a teaspoon of a new spice. I realized Mom and Dad had different skills, making them a great team. With Dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure, their dinners turned out delicious. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Watching Mom and Dad cook gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “What about the true story of you and me?” Penny asked me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Watching Mom and Dad cook gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. The next morning, I found Penny sitting on the same bench, her eyes red from crying. When I approached her, her eyes widened slightly, as if bracing for criticism. But instead, I said gently, “Hey, Penny. I understand how you feel. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.” Her eyes met mine for the first time, questioning, “You mean... you’re not mad at me?” I shook my head. “Let’s work together and see what we can come up with.” Penny’s brows were smoothed but then knitted again. “But what should we write about?” she asked? I told her my ideas always came from life. She nodded. a small smile lifting the corners of her lips. (114 words) “What about the true story of you and me?” she asked me. I exclaimed, “Fantastic!” giving her a thumbs-up. “Maybe we can write about how we overcame our differences and learned to work together as a team.” I started brainstorming ideas, and Penny quickly caught on, adding her pressure and struggle when coming up with ideas. We spent the next few days working on the story, with me writing the first draft and Penny refining it. During the process, I noticed Penny’s confidence growing. After the presentation of our story, Miss Lisa praised, “This is an excellent example of how two people with different strengths come together to create something truly amazing.” From then on, we continued to work together, each bringing out the best in the other. (116 words) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在写作俱乐部，我和Penny是搭档。我擅长构思，却常在拼写、语法和标点上出错；Penny则相反，成绩优异却缺乏创意。一次，我发现她抄袭故事，本想指责，但看到她因写作困难而哭泣，我决定换种方式。回到家，我从父母做饭的默契中得到启发，意识到我们虽各有不足，但也能互补。第二天，我主动与Penny沟通，提出合作写故事，她欣然同意。我们携手创作，最终赢得老师赞誉。这次经历让我明白，合作的力量远大于指责。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着爸爸妈妈做饭，我有了一个建议Penny的主意。”可知，第一段可描写作者没有指责Penny而是通过和她交流共同寻找写作思路。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘那你和我的真实故事呢？’她问我。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Penny把他们的经历写成故事并得到老师的称赞。 2.续写线索：得到启发——交流——找到思路——共同写作——完成写作——得到表扬 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走近：approach/come close to ②微笑：smile/grin ③完善：refine/polish 情绪类 ①哭泣：cry/weep/sob ②生气的：mad/angry 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I approached her, her eyes widened slightly, as if bracing for criticism.（运用了when引导时间状语从句和as if引导的状语从句的省略） [高分句型2] I started brainstorming ideas, and Penny quickly caught on, adding her pressure and struggle when coming up with ideas.（运用了现在分词作状语和when引导的时间状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 盐山中学2025届5月第二次模拟考试 英语 第I卷(选择题) 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.What did Sarah emphasize?

Liu’s projects include local elements and rely on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, The Spaces reported. “He has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award. One of Liu’s best-known projects was the “rebirth bricks” he created after Wenchuan earthquake. To aid in reconstruction, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement and rubble from collapsed buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks were “a poetic metaphor” for the rebirth of the material and “the spiritual rebirth of the community at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian. Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people, which is reflected in his largest project, West Village, an urban complex in Chengdu. It includes a soccer field, a market, and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the vitality of ’everydayness’”, wrote critic Austin Williams. It has become a popular destination for city residents to spend their leisure time. “The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified (有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” Liu told China Daily. 1. Why was Liu awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize? A. For the low-tech simplicity of his design. B. For the everyday vitality shown by his projects. C. For the poetic metaphors conveyed by his works. D. For the unique strategy adopted in his architecture. 2. What does the example of West Village show? A. Chengdu people’s leisure activities. B. The success of Liu’s biggest project. C. Liu’s concern about ordinary people. D. Liu’s purpose of designing buildings. 3. Which section of the newspaper is the text most likely from? A. Technology. B. Feature. C. Economy. D. Environment. B Madison Marsh is not only the current Miss Colorado but also a Harvard student and a U.S. Air Force soldier. In 2023, the 22-year-old ran for the Miss America crown, an event that now features high pressure interviews on stage and a fitness competition and she won them all. “Pageants (选美比赛) are changing and one of the ways is in what being beautiful means to women. My cousin competed in pageants because she loved community services and wanted to improve her public speaking skills. For me, I needed to stay physically fit for the army, so preparing for the competition could make me do more exercise. As a young girl, Madison dreamed of being a pilot and astronaut. Her parents sent her to Space Camp when she was 13, “In the camp, I performed simulated (模拟的) space tasks and was placed in a simulated setting that is realistic to obtain a taste of what it is like to be an astronaut first-hand,” Madison said. At 17, she started flying lessons and earned her pilot's license two years later, Madison’s future may see her as a fighter pilot, but the sad loss of her mother to cancer pulled Madison toward a career in cancer research. She realized that her bigger passion was to do canoer research. So she studied hard and entered a master's degree program at the Harvard Kennedy School. “Currently I am always invited to give speeches at different schools. I enjoy talking with other young girls about being a pilot and a Harvard student. It’s a great experience to bring both sides of the favorite parts of my life together and hopefully make a difference for others to be able to realize that you don’t have to limit yourself,” Madison said. “With strong determination and resolve, a person can always figure out how to make something significant happen despite challenges or limitations,” Madison said in one of her speeches. 4. Why did Madison Marsh participate in the pageant? A. To develop confidence. B. To promote community services C. To improve public speaking skills. D. To gain extra motivation for workouts. 5. What does Madison Marsh think of Space Camp? A. Interactive. B. Cooperative. C. Immersive. D. Complex. 6. What is Madison’s current focus? A. Practicing the pilot skills. B. Inspiring younger generations. C. Working on the cancer research. D. Preparing for the master's degree program. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Be the change you want to see. B. Luck favors the prepared mind. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Actions speak louder than words. C When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes. “We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well-connected with the start of this earthquake crowds,” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.” The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming. “If we’re going into a climate that’s changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth’s crust (地壳) is loaded,” Frank adds. “That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a link we could further explore.” 8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the main topic. B. Describe a scientific experiment. C. Present different opinions on earthquakes. D. Explain the causes of earthquakes in detail. 9. What is the finding of the study? A. Heavy rainfall indicates big earthquakes. B. Global warming will lead to more snowfall. C. There will be more and more earthquakes in the future. D. Certain weather events may contribute to some earthquakes. 10. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The research results will be applied immediately. B. The influence of climate on earthquakes will decrease. C. There will be no earthquakes caused by underground faults. D More research on the climate-earthquake link will be conducted. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Earthquakes B. How to Predict Earthquakes C. Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link D. The Effects of Global Warming on Earthquakes D Today and every day we are the targets of advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. And they’re good at it. Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to pull at to increase its success. But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion — the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it. Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were greeted with images of either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofa s for purchase whereas those who saw the money preferred cheaper models. Long before scientists started studying the process of pre-suasion, a few notable communicators already had an intuitive（直觉的）understanding of it. For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but...” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting（鼓吹）the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity. Credited with breaking open the US market for small cars, the ad campaign has been rated among the greatest of all time. With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements — great praises, emotional pull, lastchance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do. 12. What aspect of advertising has been commonly overlooked according to the text? A. The use of psychological strings to influence people. B. The effort to convince people without their knowledge. C. The choice of communication channels for more success. D. The improvement of message contents to attract buyers. 13. Which of the following examples best illustrates the concept of pre-suasion? A. An online store trumpeting special offers. B. A banker explaining interest rates to customers. C. A car dealer offering discounts to potential buyers. D. A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season. 14. What can be learned about the Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign in the 1950s? A. It focused on emotional appeals. B. It failed to highlight its strengths. C. It thoroughly changed the US small-sized car market. D. It strategically introduced an unconventional product. 15. What can we infer about practitioners of social influence? A. They have been expert at applying pre-suasion. B. They have maximized their impact with persuasion. C. They have generally ignored the effectiveness of pre-suasion. D. They have combined pre-suasion with persuasion effectively. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 How to Improve Debating Skills Debating is a subjective judgment, so debaters may apply different methods at different times. ____16____.

SpaceX’s Starship sees the company get closer to its reusable rocket dream On Oct 13, 2024, the US-based space tech company SpaceX successfully completed its fifth test flight of Starship, a powerful rocket, in Texas, US. This brought the company one step closer to its goal of creating reusable rockets, reported AFP. The giant rocket is 12-meter-tall and it ___36___ (consist) of two parts, the Starship spacecraft at the top and the Super Heavy rocket ___37___ (attach) below. Around seven minutes after launch, the two separated about 70 kilometers above the ground. The rocket’s booster flew back and gradually adjusted ___38___ into a standing position. Then, it began to fall, as two large mechanical arms extended from the launch tower. Like a pair of chopsticks, they “caught” the 71-meter-tall booster and brought it down to a gentle stop. Later on, the spacecraft landed in the Indian Ocean as planned. SpaceX said on its website that its engineers “spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt”. During the test, teams kept checking to ensure both the booster and the tower fit “thousands” of standards ___39___ any attempt to return the booster was made. Had the conditions not been satisfied, it would have been redirected for a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, as in previous tests. SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the ultimate goal of helping humans settle on the moon, Mars and beyond. The company has grown rapidly into a leader in the space industry thanks to its strategy of “fail fast, learn fast”. The Starship’s first few test flights failed due to problems___40___ explosions or a loss of contact. SpaceX sees failures as opportunities to gather data and speed up the creation of better systems than its competitors, ___41___ differs from the traditional approach of identifying and planning for potential problems before a launch, ___42___ practiced by organizations like NASA, which can be ___43___ (slow), according to The Conversation. For example, NASA’s Space Launch System-the rocket designed to take astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program-took over 10 years ___44___ (develop) before its first launch. Starship represents an advancement over SpaceX’s earlier reusable model, Falcon 9, as Starship’s reusable rockets ____45____ now have their tanks refilled after a quick check and get ready for the next flight again. “Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff,” Elon Musk said on X. 六、书面表达：共15分。 46. 假如你叫李华，你的英国朋友Jack给你写信，请你介绍一些关于端午节的情况。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 回信目的； 2. 端午节介绍：传统节日；时间、渊源及活动（龙舟比赛，吃粽子等）； 3. 邀他来中国体验节日。 注意：词数100左右； 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jack, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 七、任务型读写：共25分。 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 School was out! I grabbed my backpack and headed to the library for my favorite weekly after-school activity: Writing Club. “Hello, everyone,” said Miss Lisa, our writing club leader. “Today we’ll share our stories with a critique partner, who will give us helpful feedback (反馈) to improve them. Then submit your story by next week, solo or coauthored.” My partner was Penny. I was nervous. I had no problem coming up with great story ideas but struggled with spelling. And grammar. And punctuation. Penny, who always got perfect scores in those areas, didn’t look at me as she pushed her story towards me. I read it without stopping. “Wow, great story,” I told her, “I don’t have any suggestions.” She corrected some mistakes in my story hurriedly, and handed it back without looking at me. “OK, time is up for today,” said Miss Lisa. Penny looked relieved. She jumped up and grabbed her backpack. Bang! Everything fell out. She quickly stuffed it back in and hurried away. I noticed a book under the table. The description on the back matched Penny’s story exactly. I couldn’t believe she had copied this idea! Outside the school, spotting Penny on a bench, I walked over. “You dropped this,” I said, holding out the book and raising my eyebrows. Penny’s shoulders were slumped. She sniffed and wiped her nose on her sleeve. She was crying, “Didn’t know what to write!” All of a sudden, I wasn’t angry anymore. I remembered my job as her partner was to give helpful feedback, not to make her feel bad. But what should I say? I decided to ask Mom for advice. In the kitchen, Dad chopped vegetables perfectly while Mom stirred a sauce. She offered him a taste. “It’s good,” Dad said, “but I think...” “It needs something extra. I have an idea.” Mom interjected. He handed her a measuring spoon. “To get the right amount.” Mom added a teaspoon of a new spice. I realized Mom and Dad had different skills, making them a great team. With Dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure, their dinners turned out delicious. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Watching Mom and Dad cook gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “What about the true story of you and me?” Penny asked me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
