Subway and bus fares The fare is $2.90 for most riders on subways and local, limited, and Select Bus Service buses. Express buses cost $7. Reduced fares for riders who are 65 or older and people with qualifying disabilities are half the price. Tap to pay your fare with your contactless credit/debit card, smartphone, or OMNY card. You don’t have to sign up or download an app. Tap-and-Go and you’ll only pay for up to a cap of $34 in a 7-day period, as long as you use the same payment method. Up to three children under 44 inches tall ride for free when accompanied by a fare-paying adult. Railroads: LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) and Metro-North fares Fares vary based on what stations you’re traveling between and when you’re traveling. Peak fares are charged during weekday rush hours on trains scheduled to arrive in New York City terminals between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or depart New York City terminals between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. On Metro-North, peak fares also apply to weekday trains that leave Grand Central between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Off-peak fares are charged all other times on weekdays, all day Saturday and Sunday, and on holidays. Exact fares depend on your trip. See your trip cost by using our schedules or the TrainTime app. If you prefer not to use an app, see our fare tables.

Using the fare tables. B. Signing up for a special account. C. Using a specific app on your phone. D. Paying with a contactless card at the station. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍纽约地铁、公交及铁路的票价信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Subway and bus fares部分中“The fare is $2.90 for most riders on subways and local, limited, and Select Bus Service buses.(对于大多数乘坐地铁、当地巴士、有限巴士和特选巴士服务的乘客来说，票价是2.90美元)”以及“Reduced fares for riders who are 65 or older and people with qualifying disabilities are half the price.(65岁及以上的人和有资格的残疾人可以享受半价优惠)”可知，一位71岁的老人和两个44英寸以下的儿童乘坐当地巴士的费用为2.90的一半，即1.45美元。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Railroads: LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) and Metro-North fares部分中“Peak fares are charged during weekday rush hours on trains scheduled to arrive in New York City terminals between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or depart New York City terminals between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. On Metro-North, peak fares also apply to weekday trains that leave Grand Central between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.(在工作日的高峰时段，列车计划在早上6点到10点之间到达纽约市终点站，或在下午4点到8点之间离开纽约市终点站，将收取高峰票价。在Metro-North，高峰票价也适用于工作日早上6点到9点之间离开Grand Central的列车)”可知，工作日晚上6点离开纽约市终点站的列车将收取高峰票价。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Railroads: LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) and Metro-North fares部分中“The easiest way to buy tickets is with the TrainTime app on your phone.(购买车票最简单的方法是使用手机上的TrainTime应用程序)”可知，购买LIRR和Metro-North车票最简单的方法是使用手机上的特定应用程序。故选C。 B After serving in America’s armed forces, Stanford’s student-veterans (老兵) shifted their focus to academia and research. But since arriving on the campus, some have continued to notice the call to serve with help from some animal companions. In partnership with the non-profit organization Warrior Canine Connection(WCC), student veterans volunteer to train dogs to be service companions for other veterans living with mobility or cognitive (认知的) challenges. “We help them practice things like staying still and calm or how to focus on one person at a time,” said Nestor Walters, a Stanford junior majoring in mathematics and a 10-year Navy veteran. In addition to teaching the dogs commands and practical skills, such as how to fetch objects that veterans want, the students also show them how to recognize signs of sorrow and be supportive companions to veterans with emotional or psychological trauma (创伤). Walters says that training the animals is a rewarding process that’s helped all of them find community and purpose as they’ve shifted from military life to academia. Walters first met Frankie, a golden retriever (金毛猎犬), when he was just a puppy, small enough to hold in his hand. At the time, Walters was recovering from knee surgery and was on crutches (拐杖) and painkillers, but still managed to teach Frankie simple tasks, such as training him to open doors and pick up objects, and even teaching him how to identify body language that indicates anxiety and depression — feelings common to veterans who have experienced trauma. “As much fun as it is to basically play with a dog and have it count as public service, it’s also a sobering (发人深省的) reminder that Frankie is preparing to join a final veteran with limited mobility, possibly battling combat trauma or mental illness,” Waters said. 24. What is the purpose of the student veterans’ partnership with WCC? A. To train dogs for military missions. B. To help veterans adapt to academic life. C. To offer service dogs to veterans with disabilities. D. To provide pets for veterans’ entertainment. 25. Which skill is NOT taught to the dogs? A. Staying concentrated within a time period. B. Getting back specific items for veterans. C. Detecting signs of emotional discomfort. D. Barking to warn veterans of dangers. 26. How does Waters feel about training the dogs? A. Demanding and stressful. B. Challenging but rewarding. C. Comforting and effortless. D. Meaningful but routine. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Paws of Purpose B. Erasing Battle Trauma C. True Battlefield Heroes D. From War to Studies 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27.

(斯坦福大学数学专业大三学生、有着10年海军服役经历的内斯特・沃尔特斯表示：“我们帮助他们练习一些事情，比如保持静止和冷静，或者学习如何一次专注于一个人。”)”以及第三段中的“In addition to teaching the dogs commands and practical skills, such as how to fetch objects that veterans want, the students also show them how to recognize signs of sorrow and be supportive companions to veterans with emotional or psychological trauma (创伤).(除了教这些狗一些指令和实用技能，比如如何取回退伍军人想要的物品，这些学生还教它们如何识别悲伤的迹象，并成为能为那些有情感或心理创伤的退伍军人提供支持的伙伴。)”可知，“在一段时间内保持专注”、“为退伍军人取回特定物品”以及“检测情绪不适的迹象” 都是教给狗狗的技能，但文中未提及教狗狗“通过吠叫警告退伍军人有危险”。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Walters says that training the animals is a rewarding process that’s helped all of them find community and purpose as they’ve shifted from military life to academia.(沃尔特斯说，训练这些动物是一个有益的过程，帮助他们所有人在从军队生活过渡到学术生活的过程中找到了归属感和目标。)”以及最后一段““As much fun as it is to basically play with a dog and have it count as public service, it’s also a sobering (发人深省的) reminder that Frankie is preparing to join a final veteran with limited mobility, possibly battling combat trauma or mental illness,” Waters said. (沃特斯说：“基本上，和一只狗玩耍并把这当作公共服务，这本身很有趣，但这也发人深省地提醒着，弗兰基正准备去陪伴一位行动不便的退伍军人，这位退伍军人可能正在与战斗创伤或精神疾病作斗争。”)”可知，沃尔特斯认为训练狗狗既有挑战性又有意义、有回报。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“In partnership with the non-profit organization Warrior Canine Connection (WCC), student veterans volunteer to train dogs to be service companions for other veterans living with mobility or cognitive (认知的) challenges.(与非营利组织“战士犬类互助会（WCC）”合作，退伍军人学生志愿者训练狗狗，使其成为那些在行动或认知方面面临挑战的退伍军人的服务伙伴。)”以及下文对狗狗进行相对应的训练及其意义可知，文章主要讲述斯坦福大学的退伍军人学生通过训练狗狗，让这些狗狗成为有行动或认知障碍的退伍军人的服务伙伴，这些狗狗的陪伴有着重要意义，所以，标题“有使命的爪子” 符合文章主旨，其中的“paws”指代狗狗，“purpose”体现狗狗帮助退伍军人的使命，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 C LignoSat, the world’s first satellite made mostly from wood, reached the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX cargo capsule on November 5, 2024. The palm-sized satellite, named after the Latin word for “wood”, will be launched from the ISS into Earth’s orbit later this month. Its mission is to determine if wood can resist the harsh conditions of space. If successful, LignoSat could pave the way for more environmentally friendly spacecraft designs. The LignoSat Space Wood Project is led by Japan’s Kyoto University. The researchers began by sending a small panel containing three different wood samples to the ISS in 2022. The panel was exposed to space for ten months before being returned to Earth in early 2023. After analyzing the results, the team picked wood from magnolia trees for the satellite. “Nobody had ever thought about using wood for rocket science before,” said Professor Koji Murata of Kyoto University. “Many engineers thought wood was old technology and couldn’t be applied to cutting-edge technology.” The main reason for testing a wooden satellite is to reduce space junk. Current satellites are primarily made of aluminum. The metal reacts with oxygen when the satellites burn up in Earth’s atmosphere at the end of their life cycle. This process releases aluminum oxide particles, potentially damaging the ozone layer. Wooden satellites, which leave behind only water and carbon dioxide, could help alleviate this issue. “All the satellites that re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere burn and create tiny alumina particles, which will float in the upper atmosphere for many years,” said Takao Doi, an aerospace engineer. “Eventually, it will affect the environment of the Earth.” Researchers also see a future where trees could be grown on the Moon and Mars. Successfully testing a wooden satellite will demonstrate that wood can withstand harsh space conditions. LignoSat will orbit the Earth for six months, gathering valuable data before burning up in the atmosphere. Murata and his team aim to use this information to design larger and more advanced wooden satellites and devices. 28. What is the main task of the LignoSat satellite? A. To provide supplies for the ISS. B. To determine the endurance of the wood in space. C. To test the circling capability of wooden satellites. D. To confirm the size of the wooden satellite in space. 29. Which decision is made based on experimental results? A. Deciding the exposure time of the trial panel. B. Sending different wood samples into space. C. Selecting magnolia wood as the satellite material. D. Cooperating with Kyoto University on the project. 30. What is the main environmental advantage of wooden satellites? A. They can be repurposed through recycling. B. They will not release aluminum oxide particles. C. They can control the amount of space waste overall. D. They can be obtained as building materials in space. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article? A. To describe the process of making the LignoSat satellite. B. To discuss the potential environmental impact of wooden satellites. C. To illustrate the practicality and meaning of using wooden satellites. D. To compare the features of wooden satellites and aluminum satellites. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了世界首个木卫星LignoSat及其测试意义和环保优势。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Its mission is to determine if wood can resist the harsh conditions of space.(它任务是确定木材是否能够抵抗太空的恶劣条件)”可知，LignoSat卫星的主要任务是确定木材是否能抵御太空的恶劣条件，也就是确定木材在太空中的耐受性。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The panel was exposed to space for ten months before being returned to Earth in early 2023. After analyzing the results, the team picked wood from magnolia trees for the satellite.(该面板在2023年初返回地球之前，在太空中暴露了十个月。在分析结果后，研究小组从木兰树上为卫星挑选了木材)”可知，在分析了实验结果后，研究小组选择了木兰树的木材来制作卫星，所以选择木兰木作为卫星材料这一决定是基于实验结果做出的。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Current satellites are primarily made of aluminum. The metal reacts with oxygen when the satellites burn up in Earth’s atmosphere at the end of their life cycle. This process releases aluminum oxide particles, potentially damaging the ozone layer. Wooden satellites, which leave behind only water and carbon dioxide, could help alleviate this issue.(目前的卫星主要由铝制成。当卫星在其生命周期结束时在地球大气层中燃烧殆尽时，这种金属会与氧气发生反应。这一过程会释放出氧化铝颗粒，有可能会破坏臭氧层。而木质卫星在燃烧后仅会产生水和二氧化碳，这有助于缓解这一问题)”可知，木质卫星的主要环境优势是它们不会释放氧化铝颗粒，而铝制卫星会释放氧化铝颗粒可能损害臭氧层，木质卫星仅留下水和二氧化碳，有助于缓解这一问题。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“LignoSat, the world’s first satellite made mostly from wood, reached the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX cargo capsule on November 5, 2024. The palm-sized satellite, named after the Latin word for “wood”, will be launched from the ISS into Earth’s orbit later this month. Its mission is to determine if wood can resist the harsh conditions of space. If successful, LignoSat could pave the way for more environmentally friendly spacecraft designs.(2024 年11月5日，世界上首颗主要由木材制成的卫星“木质卫星（LignoSat）搭乘 SpaceX 公司的货运太空舱抵达了国际空间站。这颗手掌大小的卫星以拉丁语中表示“木材”的单词命名，将于本月晚些时候从国际空间站发射进入地球轨道。它的任务是确定木材能否抵御太空的恶劣环境。如果成功，“木质卫星”将为更环保的航天器设计铺平道路)”可知，文章第一段介绍了LignoSat卫星及其任务，接着阐述了测试木质卫星的原因（减少太空垃圾）以及其环保优势，还提到了研究人员对木质卫星的未来展望等，整体都是在说明使用木质卫星的实用性和意义。故选C。 D In the early 1900s, French chemist, Edouard Benedictus, invented shatterproof (防碎的) glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn’t emerge until the car market created the problem for which he had already found the answer. Such moments of serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature of innovation. Yet, even in cases where chance plays a role, as in Benedictus’s story, the broader question remains: Are such discoveries truly born of luck, or were they somehow “in the air,” waiting for the right person to seize them? Some argue all the discoveries would have been made by other people. They believe if the time was ripe in conceptual and technological terms, someone would have got there sooner or later. This is the used and abused understanding of theories that were “in the air”. Independently, Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace (the latter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the theory of evolution by natural selection, both counting on similar data. There existed slight differences in the theory, but the coincidences of thought were astonishing. This phenomenon, which also exists in biological evolution, is called convergence: two non-closely related species develop similar functional adaptations. This occurs because the environment poses similar survival problems to both, namely similar selective pressures. This is an important clue that can help explain why this dynamic also exists in scientific knowledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research groups that compete to come up with the solutions. If we analyze the steps undertaken that led to the result, we can see that there were in fact some accidental elements. The overall dynamic was not accidental, though. Yet is it really possible that all discoveries were in the air? Let us assume for a moment that this is true and that the most luck can do is speed up the inevitable. All scientists arc standing on the shoulders of the giants who have gone before them, and there is objectively a cumulative (积累的) element in science. Nevertheless, at some point and in the right circumstances, it was the unknown scientists, not the giants, who managed to see a little farther. The mind of the giant was imprisoned by prior knowledge and so trapped within the framework of established habits, research questions, and established methods. The new, little-known scientist, on the other hand, will in one way or another have been able to break free of the chains of established knowledge. And so it will have been possible for them to imagine other worlds. This suggests that it will be innovators, with their prepared minds, who have a better chance of making accidental discoveries, namely that are irregular and unexpected. 32. In paragraph 2 “serendipity” refers to __________. A. accidental invention B. emergence of problems C. late recognition D. chemical innovation 33. The example of Darwin and Wallace is given to illustrate __________. A. fierce competition among biological scientists B. the important role of similar data in intentional research C. independent but similar solutions under shared pressures D. limited resources and technological dependency in science 34. What advantage might lesser-known scientists have over established researchers? A. Access to advanced tools. B. Freedom from rigid mindsets. C. Stronger peer cooperation. D. Greater funding opportunities. 35. Which statement best reflects the main idea of the passage? A All discoveries are inevitable results of technological progress. B. Serendipity alone drives groundbreaking scientific achievements. C. Traditional methods prevent innovation and should be abandoned. D. Major breakthroughs integrate prepared minds with accidental opportunities. 【答案】32 A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了科学发现和创新背后的本质。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“In the early 1900s, French chemist, Edouard Benedictus, invented shatterproof (防碎的) glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn’t emerge until the car market created the problem for which he had already found the answer. (20世纪初，法国化学家爱德华·本尼迪克特偶然发明了防碎玻璃。但直到汽车市场产生了问题，而他已经找到了答案，这个问题的重要性和相关性才显现出来)”及第二段“Yet, even in cases where chance plays a role, as in Benedictus’s story, the broader question remains: Are such discoveries truly born of luck, or were they somehow “in the air,” waiting for the right person to seize them? (然而，即使像本尼迪克图斯的故事中那样，运气也起了作用，一个更广泛的问题仍然存在：这些发现真的是天生的运气，还是“在空中”，等待着合适的人来抓住它们)”可知，第一段提到Benedictus偶然发明防碎玻璃，第二段讨论“运气是否主导发现”。文中Such moments恰到承上启下的作用，由此推断划线单词的含义是“不可预测的创新，发现，偶然的新发现”。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Independently, Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace (the latter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the theory of evolution by natural selection, both counting on similar data. There existed slight differences in the theory, but the coincidences of thought were astonishing. This phenomenon, which also exists in biological evolution, is called convergence: two non-closely related species develop similar functional adaptations. This occurs because the environment poses similar survival problems to both, namely similar selective pressures. This is an important clue that can help explain why this dynamic also exists in scientific knowledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research groups that compete to come up with the solutions.(查尔斯·达尔文（Charles Darwin）和阿尔弗雷德·华莱士（Alfred R. Wallace）（后者比达尔文晚了15年）各自独立地提出了自然选择进化论，他们都依靠类似的数据。理论中存在着细微的差异，但思想上的一致性却是惊人的。这种现象也存在于生物进化中，被称为趋同：两个不密切相关的物种发展出相似的功能适应。这是因为环境给两者带来了相似的生存问题，即相似的选择压力。这是一个重要的线索，可以帮助解释为什么这种动态也存在于科学知识中：有类似的选择压力和不同的研究小组竞争提出解决方案)”可知，达尔文和华莱士独立提出自然选择理论，依赖相似的数据，且思想惊人的巧合，后文用生物学趋同进化进行类比：即不同物种因相似环境压力发展出相似适应性。由此推断文中以达尔文和华莱士为例为了说明在共同压力下独立进行研究，但却得出相似的解决方案。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The new, little-known scientist, on the other hand, will in one way or another have been able to break free of the chains of established knowledge. (另一方面，新出现的、不知名的科学家将会以这样或那样的方式打破既定知识的枷锁。)”可知，不太知名的科学家可以摆脱僵化的思维方式。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the early 1900s, French chemist, Edouard Benedictus, invented shatterproof (防碎的) glass by chance. (20世纪初，法国化学家爱德华·本尼迪克特偶然发明了防碎玻璃)”，第二段“Such moments of serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature of innovation. (这些偶然发现的时刻揭示了创新不可预测的本质)”，第三段“This occurs because the environment poses similar survival problems to both, namely similar selective pressures. This is an important clue that can help explain why this dynamic also exists in scientific knowledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research groups that compete to come up with the solutions. (这是因为环境给两者带来了相似的生存问题，即相似的选择压力。这是一个重要的线索，可以帮助解释为什么这种动态也存在于科学知识中：有类似的选择压力和不同的研究小组竞争提出解决方案)”，第四段“Yet is it really possible that all discoveries were in the air? (然而，真的有可能所有的发现都在空中吗)”及最后一段“And so it will have been possible for them to imagine other worlds. This suggests that it will be innovators, with their prepared minds, who have a better chance of making accidental discoveries, namely that are irregular and unexpected. (所以他们有可能想象出其他的世界。这表明，有准备的创新者更有可能获得偶然的发现，即非常规的和意想不到的发现)”可知，首段通过偶然发现引发对创新本质的探讨，继而开始论述创新不可预测的本质。说明相似问题催生相似解决方案，最后得出核心结论，即重大发现=准备好的头脑+偶然机遇。由此得知，全文在探讨科学发现和创新背后的本质，即有准备的头脑和偶然的机会相结合可以创造重大的突破。故选D。 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。 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the Red Flag Canal’s completion, a “man-made sky river” carved along the Taihang Mountains, which is more than a hydraulic (水利的) miracle with a total of 1,250 hilltops cut, 211 tunnels dug through. ____36____ This 1,500km water system ended centuries of drought in Linxian County, rewriting the destiny (命运) of about 560,000 people.

I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted — Ethan transferred (转学) to our school. Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world and the other students didn’t know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything. It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to share, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds. When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher’s eyes shone with delight. “Ethan,” she said, “you have a rare gift. With your talent, you’re bound to win the upcoming writing competition.” The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared — one that threatened to outshine mine. That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said, “Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手) , but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out? You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours — it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something. 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。 The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. I took a deep breath and walked towards the table where he sat alone, his nose buried in a book. “Hi, Ethan,” I said, trying to sound casual. “I really loved your essay in class. It was amazing.” He looked up, surprise flashing across his face. A small smile played on his lips as he thanked me. I then invited him to join me in preparing for the upcoming writing competition. To my relief, he agreed. From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. We shared our ideas, gave each other honest feedback, and encouraged one another. His unique perspective broadened my horizons, and I found my own writing improving. When the day of the competition arrived, we walked in side by side, full of confidence. In the end, we both won awards. It was a moment of pure joy. Father was right: Ethan’s light didn’t dim mine — actually, it made mine shine brighter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的写作经历为线索，讲述原本是班级写作之星的作者，因转学生Ethan的出色表现受到挑战，作者感到嫉妒，后来在父亲的建议下转变态度，和Ethan互相学习、共同进步。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天午饭时，我走向了Ethan。”可知，第一段可描写作者主动与Ethan交流，夸赞他的文章并邀请他一起准备写作比赛，Ethan答应了。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，我和Ethan定期见面写作并讨论我们的作品。”可知，第二段可描写两人互相分享、鼓励，写作水平提升，最终在比赛中都获奖，作者真正领悟了父亲所说的话。 2. 续写线索：主动交流——邀请参赛——共同准备——比赛获奖——友谊加深 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①尝试：try/attempt ②抬起头：look up/raise one’s head ③开阔，拓宽：broaden/widen 情绪类 ①喜欢：love/like/enjoy ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【高分句型1】I took a deep breath and walked towards the table where he sat alone, his nose buried in a book.

B After serving in America’s armed forces, Stanford’s student-veterans (老兵) shifted their focus to academia and research. But since arriving on the campus, some have continued to notice the call to serve with help from some animal companions. In partnership with the non-profit organization Warrior Canine Connection(WCC), student veterans volunteer to train dogs to be service companions for other veterans living with mobility or cognitive (认知) challenges. “We help them practice things like staying still and calm or how to focus on one person at a time,” said Nestor Walters, a Stanford junior majoring in mathematics and a 10-year Navy veteran. In addition to teaching the dogs commands and practical skills, such as how to fetch objects that veterans want, the students also show them how to recognize signs of sorrow and be supportive companions to veterans with emotional or psychological trauma (创伤). Walters says that training the animals is a rewarding process that’s helped all of them find community and purpose as they’ve shifted from military life to academia. Walters first met Frankie, a golden retriever (金毛猎犬), when he was just a puppy, small enough to hold in his hand. At the time, Walters was recovering from knee surgery and was on crutches (拐杖) and painkillers, but still managed to teach Frankie simple tasks, such as training him to open doors and pick up objects, and even teaching him how to identify body language that indicates anxiety and depression — feelings common to veterans who have experienced trauma. “As much fun as it is to basically play with a dog and have it count as public service, it’s also a sobering (发人深省的) reminder that Frankie is preparing to join a final veteran with limited mobility, possibly battling combat trauma or mental illness,” Waters said. 24. What is the purpose of the student veterans’ partnership with WCC? A. To train dogs for military missions. B. To help veterans adapt to academic life. C. To offer service dogs to veterans with disabilities. D. To provide pets for veterans’ entertainment. 25. Which skill is NOT taught to the dogs? A. Staying concentrated within a time period. B. Getting back specific items for veterans. C. Detecting signs of emotional discomfort. D. Barking to warn veterans of dangers. 26. How does Waters feel about training the dogs? A. Demanding and stressful. B. Challenging but rewarding. C. Comforting and effortless. D. Meaningful but routine. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Paws of Purpose B. Erasing Battle Trauma C. True Battlefield Heroes D. From War to Studies C LignoSat, the world’s first satellite made mostly from wood, reached the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX cargo capsule on November 5, 2024. The palm-sized satellite, named after the Latin word for “wood”, will be launched from the ISS into Earth’s orbit later this month. Its mission is to determine if wood can resist the harsh conditions of space. If successful, LignoSat could pave the way for more environmentally friendly spacecraft designs. The LignoSat Space Wood Project is led by Japan’s Kyoto University. The researchers began by sending a small panel containing three different wood samples to the ISS in 2022. The panel was exposed to space for ten months before being returned to Earth in early 2023. After analyzing the results, the team picked wood from magnolia trees for the satellite. “Nobody had ever thought about using wood for rocket science before,” said Professor Koji Murata of Kyoto University. “Many engineers thought wood was old technology and couldn’t be applied to cutting-edge technology.” The main reason for testing a wooden satellite is to reduce space junk. Current satellites are primarily made of aluminum. The metal reacts with oxygen when the satellites burn up in Earth’s atmosphere at the end of their life cycle. This process releases aluminum oxide particles, potentially damaging the ozone layer. Wooden satellites, which leave behind only water and carbon dioxide, could help alleviate this issue. “All the satellites that re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere burn and create tiny alumina particles, which will float in the upper atmosphere for many years,” said Takao Doi, an aerospace engineer. “Eventually, it will affect the environment of the Earth.” Researchers also see a future where trees could be grown on the Moon and Mars. Successfully testing a wooden satellite will demonstrate that wood can withstand harsh space conditions. LignoSat will orbit the Earth for six months, gathering valuable data before burning up in the atmosphere. Murata and his team aim to use this information to design larger and more advanced wooden satellites and devices. 28. What is the main task of the LignoSat satellite? A. To provide supplies for the ISS. B. To determine the endurance of the wood in space. C. To test the circling capability of wooden satellites. D.

D In the early 1900s, French chemist, Edouard Benedictus, invented shatterproof (防碎的) glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn’t emerge until the car market created the problem for which he had already found the answer. Such moments of serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature of innovation. Yet, even in cases where chance plays a role, as in Benedictus’s story, the broader question remains: Are such discoveries truly born of luck, or were they somehow “in the air,” waiting for the right person to seize them? Some argue all the discoveries would have been made by other people. They believe if the time was ripe in conceptual and technological terms, someone would have got there sooner or later. This is the used and abused understanding of theories that were “in the air”. Independently, Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace (the latter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the theory of evolution by natural selection, both counting on similar data. There existed slight differences in the theory, but the coincidences of thought were astonishing. This phenomenon, which also exists in biological evolution, is called convergence: two non-closely related species develop similar functional adaptations. This occurs because the environment poses similar survival problems to both, namely similar selective pressures. This is an important clue that can help explain why this dynamic also exists in scientific knowledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research groups that compete to come up with the solutions. If we analyze the steps undertaken that led to the result, we can see that there were in fact some accidental elements. The overall dynamic was not accidental, though. Yet is it really possible that all discoveries were in the air? Let us assume for a moment that this is true and that the most luck can do is speed up the inevitable. All scientists arc standing on the shoulders of the giants who have gone before them, and there is objectively a cumulative (积累的) element in science. Nevertheless, at some point and in the right circumstances, it was the unknown scientists, not the giants, who managed to see a little farther. The mind of the giant was imprisoned by prior knowledge and so trapped within the framework of established habits, research questions, and established methods. The new, little-known scientist, on the other hand, will in one way or another have been able to break free of the chains of established knowledge. And so it will have been possible for them to imagine other worlds. This suggests that it will be innovators, with their prepared minds, who have a better chance of making accidental discoveries, namely that are irregular and unexpected. 32. In paragraph 2 “serendipity” refers to __________. A. accidental invention B. emergence of problems C. late recognition D. chemical innovation 33. The example of Darwin and Wallace is given to illustrate __________. A. fierce competition among biological scientists B. the important role of similar data in intentional research C. independent but similar solutions under shared pressures D. limited resources and technological dependency in science 34. What advantage might lesser-known scientists have over established researchers? A. Access to advanced tools. B. Freedom from rigid mindsets. C. Stronger peer cooperation. D. Greater funding opportunities. 35. Which statement best reflects the main idea of the passage? A. All discoveries are inevitable results of technological progress. B. Serendipity alone drives groundbreaking scientific achievements. C. Traditional methods prevent innovation and should be abandoned. D. Major breakthroughs integrate prepared minds with accidental opportunities. 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。 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the Red Flag Canal’s completion, a “man-made sky river” carved along the Taihang Mountains, which is more than a hydraulic (水利的) miracle with a total of 1,250 hilltops cut, 211 tunnels dug through. ____36____ This 1,500km water system ended centuries of drought in Linxian County, rewriting the destiny (命运) of about 560,000 people.

I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted — Ethan transferred (转学) to our school. Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world, and the other students didn’t know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything. It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to share, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds. When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher’s eyes shone with delight. “Ethan,” she said, “you have a rare gift. With your talent, you’re bound to win the upcoming writing competition.” The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared — one that threatened to outshine mine. That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said, “Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手) , but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out? You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours — it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
