After returning back to Oxford, Hodgkin spent years perfecting X-ray crystallography. This led to her confirmation of the penicillin structure by Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abraham and the discovery of vitaminB12structure. Catherine Coleman Catherine Coleman is a living example of the impact women have on the world of science. Following a career in chemistry and as a former United States Air Force officer, Coleman was selected to join the NASA Astronaut Corps. She has two Space Shuttle missions to her name including Expedition 27 to the International Space Station — the final mission to the ISS with the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Rosalind Franklin Rosalind Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work on DNA, RNA and viruses formed the basis for Watson and Crick’s DNA work that won them a Nobel Prize in 1962, sadly after she had already passed away. Working as a researcher at King’s College in London, she took an X-ray photograph of B-DNA, famously known as Photo 51, which served as the basis for the identification of the DNA structure. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin A British-American astronomer and astrophysicist, Cecilia stretched the boundaries of thought in her PhD thesis with an explanation of stars as relative quantities of helium and hydrogen. Following the completion of her PhD, Cecilia studied the stars to understand the structure of the Milky Way. Through her studies, she and her team made well over three million observations that help us understand our galaxy today. 1. What is special about Catherine Coleman? A. She entered the outer space. B. She majored in chemistry. C. She earned a PhD degree. D. She fought for women’s rights. 2. What did Dorothy and Rosalind have in common? A. Winning a Nobel Prize. B. Teaching at universities. C. Specializing in DNA research. D. Working on chemical substances. 3. Who helped expand our vision of the universe? A Dorothy Hodgkin. B. Catherine Coleman. C. Rosalind Franklin. D. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了影响了现代科学的四位女性。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Catherine Coleman部分中“She has two Space Shuttle missions to her name including Expedition 27 to the International Space Station — the final mission to the ISS with the Space Shuttle Endeavour. (她有两次以她的名字命名的航天飞机任务，包括前往国际空间站的远征27号，这是奋进号航天飞机前往国际空间站的最后一次任务。)”可知，Catherine Coleman的特殊之处在于她去过外太空，故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dorothy Hodgkin部分中“After returning back to Oxford, Hodgkin spent years perfecting X-ray crystallography. This led to her confirmation of the penicillin structure by Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abraham and the discovery of vitaminB12structure. (回到牛津大学后，霍奇金花了数年时间完善x射线晶体学。这导致她确认了由Ernst Boris Chain和Edward Abraham提出的青霉素结构和维生素b12的结构的发现。)”和Rosalind Franklin部分中“Rosalind Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work on DNA, RNA and viruses formed the basis for Watson and Crick’s DNA work (Rosalind Franklin是一位英国化学家和x射线晶体学家，她在DNA、RNA和病毒方面的工作为Watson和Crick的DNA研究奠定了基础)”可知，两人的共同点是都研究化学物质，故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin部分中“A British-American astronomer and astrophysicist, Cecilia stretched the boundaries of thought in her PhD thesis with an explanation of stars as relative quantities of helium and hydrogen. (Cecilia是一位英裔美国天文学家和天体物理学家，在她的博士论文中，她用氦和氢的相对数量来解释恒星，拓展了思想的界限。)”和“Through her studies, she and her team made well over three million observations that help us understand our galaxy today. (通过她的研究，她和她的团队进行了超过300万次的观测，帮助我们了解今天的银河系。)”可知，Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin帮助扩大了我们对宇宙的想象，故选D。 B Point Nemo, located between Chile and New Zealand, is 2,688 kilometres away from the closest land point. It was named by Croatian survey engineer Hrvoje Lukatela, who was studying ocean currents at the time. He named the point after Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. There is no set way to get there, given its inaccessibility. But that didn’t stop British explorer Chris Brown, who completed his feat (壮举) earlier this month. “Having considered several different ways of getting to Point Nemo, we hit on the idea of using an expedition (探险) boat called the Hanse Explore.” Brown set sail “in the early hours” of March 12, and expected it to take 10 days to reach Point Nemo. He said the crew was “immediately thrust into our first South Pacific storm” and reported fast winds and “six-metre waves”. Brown said that going through the storm was inevitable (不可避免). “One of the reasons for setting off when we did, instead of waiting out the storm, was the forecast for conditions at Point Nemo. Captain Andriy Bratash spotted that there was a weather window at the Pole which would allow us to use the Zodiac RIBs (a smaller boat) and to possibly get into the water. If we were late arriving, Nemo would be in the center of a hurricane force storm.” After 10 days and 4,200 km, Brown and the crew arrived. At that stage, waves had “only” started to reach 3 metres in height, Brown said. This meant the crew were able to launch the Zodiacs and be in the water—the first person in recorded history able to do so. “At all the other Poles of Inaccessibility I’ve visited, I’ve taken a photo standing at the exact spot. That wasn’t going to be possible this time. So, I came up with the idea of ‘floating’ at the Pole and holding the maritime flags spelling out the word N. E. M. O,” Brown said. 4. What is Point Nemo named after? A. A Croatian engineer. B. A fictional captain. C. A South Pacific storm. D. A type of small boat. 5. Why did Brown’s crew decide to sail despite the storm? A. They had a strict schedule to follow. B. They knew the storm would not last long. C. They were testing their ship’s safety standards. D. They wanted to avoid the worst part of a hurricane. 6. What made Brown’s expedition unique was that he became the first ________. A. to reach Point Nemo by boat B. to enter the water at Point Nemo C. to sail along Captain Nemo’s route D. to experience the South Pacific storm 7. How did Brown mark his achievement at Point Nemo? A. By planting a flag on the seafloor. B. By taking a photo at the exact spot. C. By marking the place with his name. D. By floating in the water holding a sign. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国探险家Chris Brown前往位于智利和新西兰之间、难以到达的Point Nemo的探险经历，包括他选择的出行方式、航行中遭遇的风暴以及到达尼莫点后的独特纪念方式。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He named the point after Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.(他以Jules Verne《海底两万里》中的尼莫船长的名字命名了这个点)” 可知，Point Nem是以一位虚构的船长命名的。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Captain Andriy Bratash spotted that there was a weather window at the Pole which would allow us to use the Zodiac RIBs (a smaller boat) and to possibly get into the water. If we were late arriving, Nemo would be in the center of a hurricane force storm.(Andriy Bratash船长发现南极地区有一个天气窗口期，这将使我们能够使用Zodiac RIBs(一种较小的船)并有可能进入水中。如果我们到达晚了，Nemo将处于飓风中心)”可推知，Brown的船员决定在风暴中航行是为了避开飓风最恶劣的部分。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“This meant the crew were able to launch the Zodiacs and be in the water — the first person in recorded history able to do so.(这意味着船员们能够放下Zodiacs并进入水中——这是有记录以来第一次有人能这样做)”可知，Brown探险的独特之处在于他成为第一个在Point Nemo进入水中的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, I came up with the idea of ‘floating’ at the Pole and holding the maritime flags spelling out the word N. E. M. O, Brown said.(所以，我想出了一个主意，在极点‘漂浮’着，举着写有 N.E.M.O. 字样的海事旗帜)” 可知，布朗通过在水中漂浮举着一个牌子来纪念他在Point Nemo的成就。故选D。 C If you want to seem sincere and receive more responses to your texts, spell out words instead of abbreviating (缩写) them, according to a new study. Researchers conducted eight experiments with a total of more than 5,300 participants using various methods. Across the experiments, individuals who used texting abbreviations were perceived as more insincere and were less likely to receive replies because they were seen as putting less effort in text conversations. “In daily interactions, we often meet people who could be considered good texters or poor texters,” said lead researcher David Fang. “We thought texters might like abbreviations because they would convey an informal sense of closeness, so we were surprised that abbreviations elicited negative perceptions about people who use them.” Texting has become a dominant form of digital communication, and most texters use some abbreviations, such as IDK for “I don’t know”. But people might not realize that abbreviations come with costs. In a survey, 99% of respondents reported they used texting abbreviations, and 84% of them didn’t believe that others wouldn’t like abbreviations. The experiments included an analysis of replies to Discord group chat users, and Tinder dating app users’ conversation histories spanning 37 countries. Other experiments included participants who rated their texting conversations with people who either were or weren’t using abbreviations. In the experiments, texters who used abbreviations received shorter and fewer responses and were less likely to receive contact information from the other texter. Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. “We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort and accept being perceived as less sincere, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to appear more sincere and strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.” 8. Why might people choose to ignore abbreviated texts? A. The texts are hard to understand. B. The texts have complex meanings. C. They consider the texters not genuine. D. They’re unfamiliar with the abbreviations. 9. What does the underlined word “elicited” mean in paragraph 3? A. Meant. B. Caused. C. Contained. D. Removed. 10. What largely contributed to the findings of the research? A. Social media apps. B. Language learning websites. C. Historical documents. D. Recordings of daily conversations. 11. When is it acceptable to use texting abbreviations according to David Fang? A. When you text strangers. B. When you try to strengthen social bonds. C. When the relationship is less significant. D. When making a good impression on someone. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，短信缩写会降低沟通真诚度，影响回复率，研究者建议根据关系亲疏灵活选择是否使用缩写。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Across the experiments, individuals who used texting abbreviations were perceived as more insincere and were less likely to receive replies because they were seen as putting less effort in text conversations. (在各项实验中，使用短信缩写的用户普遍被认为不够真诚，且获得回复的概率更低，因为这种行为会被视为在文字交流中付出较少努力)”可知，人们忽略缩写信息是因为认为发送者不真诚。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“We thought texters might like abbreviations because they would convey an informal sense of closeness (我们以为发短信的人可能喜欢缩写，因为它们能传达一种非正式的亲密感)”可知，研究者原以为缩写能带来积极影响，再结合“so we were surprised that abbreviations elicited negative perceptions about people who use them.(所以我们很惊讶缩略语会elicited对使用它们的人的负面看法。)”中的“surprised (惊讶的)”可知，研究者得到的结果是出乎意料的，由此可知，缩写实际上引发了负面看法，画线词意为“引发，导致”，与cause意思一致。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The experiments included an analysis of replies to Discord group chat users, and Tinder dating app users’ conversation histories spanning 37 countries. (实验包括对37个国家的Discord群组聊天用户的回复和Tinder约会应用用户的对话历史进行分析)”可知，研究所分析的数据来自软件Discord和Tinder用户的聊天记录。由此可知，社交媒体应用对这项研究的发现有贡献。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中David Fang所说的话“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort and accept being perceived as less sincere, like quickly texting with a delivery driver (我们通常会根据关系的重要程度来调整对话中的投入力度。在某些情况下，适当减少投入并接受可能被认为不够真诚的反馈是合理的，比如与外卖骑手快速发信息沟通时)”可知，David Fang认为在关系不重要时可以接受使用缩写。故选C项。 D Digital health tools, such as patient portals (门户网站), treatment apps and online appointment schedulers, are increasingly common. But not everyone is equally at home using them. To find out how language, education and age may affect a person’s comfort in using digital tools, UC San Francisco (UCSF) researchers surveyed caregivers of hospitalized children at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. The researchers found that being a Spanish speaker, having less education, and being older all made people feel less comfortable with digital health tools. “Digital health tools are meant to improve health access and outcomes, but they must be useful for people from all backgrounds to avoid deepening existing health inequities,” said Naomi Bardach, professor of pediatrics at UCSIF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. “We don’t want to leave people behind, whether they are older adults, people with lower education, or those of a specific race, or language background.” Researchers asked how well people felt they could engage with digital tools, how motivated they were to use them, and how safe and in control they felt while they were using them. This was intended to measure people’s concerns about the privacy of digital health tools. Education was the most important factor, after language. Having a high school education or less was most strongly associated with lower scores in all three areas measured. Latinx and Black caregivers scored significantly lower on “feeling safe and in control” with digital tools. Rural caregivers, however, scored higher on the privacy measure, and they were more motivated to use digital tools. Those over 45 were less motivated to use digital tools, and they also felt less safe and in control while using them. “Accessing these tools affects all kinds of things, like requesting medication refills online, tracking the number of steps per day, or helping a child play a therapeutic game for ADHD,” Bardach said. “We all need to be thinking about how to make sure people can use them comfortably, and if they can’t, how to provide an alternative.” 12. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How digital health tools may impact the patients. B. What are the advantages of using digital health tools. C. Why digital health tools need to be improved in diversity. D. What affects people’s comfort in using digital health tools. 13. What does Bardach attach importance to about a digital health tool in paragraph 2? A. Its universality. B. Its accuracy. C. Its safety. D. Its efficiency. 14. What has the greatest effect on using digital health tools according to the text? A. Education. B. Language. C. Race. D. Age. 15. What’s implied about digital health tools in the last paragraph? A. They are not affordable for most people. B. Providing an alternative to them is impossible. C. Ensuring their comfort to users is essential. D. They are primarily designed for younger users. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了加州大学旧金山分校的研究人员对住院儿童看护者进行的一项调查，主要探讨了语言、教育程度和年龄如何影响人们对数字健康工具的使用舒适度。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“To find out how language, education and age may affect a person’s comfort in using digital tools, UC San Francisco (UCSF) researchers surveyed caregivers of hospitalized children at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.(为了找出语言、教育程度和年龄如何影响一个人使用数字工具的舒适度，加州大学旧金山分校（UCSF）的研究人员对加州大学旧金山分校贝尼奥夫儿童医院的住院儿童看护者进行了调查。)”和文章接下来的内容也是围绕这一主题展开的，讨论了语言、教育程度和年龄如何影响人们使用数字健康工具的舒适度。由此可知，文章主要讨论的是影响人们使用数字健康工具时舒适感的因素，选项D“什么因素会影响人们使用数字健康工具时的舒适度。”符合题意。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Digital health tools are meant to improve health access and outcomes, but they must be useful for people from all backgrounds to avoid deepening existing health inequities.(数字健康工具旨在改善健康获取和结果，但它们必须对来自各种背景的人都有用，以避免加深现有的健康不平等。)”可知，Bardach强调的是数字健康工具的普遍性，即它们应该对所有人都适用。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Education was the most important factor, after language.(教育是仅次于语言的最重要因素。)”可知，语言是影响人们使用数字健康工具舒适度的最重要因素。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We all need to be thinking about how to make sure people can use them comfortably, and if they can’t, how to provide an alternative.(我们都需要考虑如何确保人们能够舒适地使用它们，如果他们不能，如何提供替代方案。)”可知，Bardach认为确保用户对数字健康工具的舒适度至关重要。故选C。 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。 Self-Improvement Goals for the New Year New Year is an exciting time.

To help you move forward in 2025, consider setting the following self-improvement goals. Be More Positive To increase your joy, adopt a more positive attitude in the new year. Positivity is about perspective. While you can’t control your environment, you can control your thoughts. Positivity attracts positivity and can often counter negativity. ____17____. It not only feels good to be positive, but a positive outlook can also help improve your health and well-being. ____18____ Life can be really busy if you don’t have any control over it. Having everything carefully organized is one of the best self-improvement ideas to start a new, productive, and efficient year. Nowadays, with all the modern technology at your fingertips, you can find time management apps to manage your time better. Develop a Morning Routine ____19____. If we’re slow to start, we won’t find the rest of the day to our liking, so it’s best if you set a morning routine. It can be something as minor as waking up an hour earlier than usual or something significant like getting a morning run-in. The choice is yours, but you’ll find a well-set morning routine will make you feel like gold. Enhance Your Resilience (复原力) Skills to Overcome Obstacles Resilience was the most important element of wisdom identified in our study. It is the idea that, regardless of the obstacle, you keep moving forward and do not give up. With every obstacle come lessons learned, leading to greater wisdom. ____20____. Obstacles help build our mental muscle and prove that a difficulty can be overcome. A. Get Organized B. Practice Gratitude Daily C. Things don’t happen to you but for you D. It’s a time to reflect on your achievements E. Adopt a firm belief that you deserve to be happy F. How we begin our day sets the tone for the rest of it G.

It is a time for a fresh start and new traditions. (新年是一个令人兴奋的时刻，是一个全新开始和新传统的时刻。)”及空后“and set intentions for the new year with specific goals. (并通过具体目标为新年设定方向。)”可知，此处需衔接“新年时刻”的并列行为，D选项“It’s a time to reflect on your achievements (这是一个反思自己成就的时刻)”中“It’s a time”与前文重复，“reflect on achievements”与“set intentions”形成逻辑递进，共同描述新年的意义，符合语境。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Positivity is about perspective. While you can’t control your environment, you can control your thoughts. Positivity attracts positivity and can often counter negativity. (积极是一种心态。虽然你无法控制环境，但可以控制自己的思想。积极会吸引积极，也常常能对抗消极。)”可知，此段强调积极心态的主动性与内在力量，结合空后“It not only feels good to be positive, but a positive outlook can also help improve your health and well-being. (积极不仅感觉良好，而且积极的outlook还可以帮助改善你的健康和幸福。)”可知，此处说明积极心态的益处，由此可知，此空需进一步阐述“积极心态”的内在支撑，E选项“Adopt a firm belief that you deserve to be happy (坚定地相信你值得快乐)” 通过“firm belief”深化积极心态的根源，与上文“control your thoughts”形成因果逻辑，强化“积极心态始于自我认同”的核心观点。故选E项。 【18题详解】 此空为本段的小标题，结合其它段落的小标题可知，此空应为祈使句，根据下文“Having everything carefully organized is one of the best self-improvement ideas to start a new, productive, and efficient year. (把一切都精心安排得井井有条，是开启新的、富有成效且高效一年的最佳自我提升方法之一。)”可知，此段核心围绕“有条理” 展开，A 选项“Get Organized (变得有条理)”为祈使句，作为段落标题，直接复现“carefully organized”，且与后文“time management apps”等具体建议形成呼应，精准概括段落主旨。故选 A 项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“If we’re slow to start, we won’t find the rest of the day to our liking, so it’s best if you set a morning routine. (如果我们早上开始得很慢，一整天都会觉得不如意，所以最好设定一个晨间常规。)”可知，此段强调晨间状态对全天的决定性影响，F选项 “How we begin our day sets the tone for the rest of it (我们如何开始一天，为接下来的时间奠定基调)”以“sets the tone (奠定基调)”直接解释“慢启动导致全天低效”的因果关系，与下文形成逻辑闭环，突出晨间习惯的重要性。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Resilience was the most important element of wisdom identified in our study. It is the idea that, regardless of the obstacle, you keep moving forward and do not give up. With every obstacle come lessons learned, leading to greater wisdom. (在我们的研究中，复原力是智慧最重要的组成部分。其核心是，无论遇到什么障碍，你都要继续前进，不放弃。每一次障碍都会带来经验教训，让你获得更深刻的智慧。)”可知，此段将障碍重新定义为“成长的契机”，C 选项“Things don’t happen to you but for you (事情发生在你身上，并非针对你，而是为了你)”指出障碍的存在是为了促进个人成长，与“lessons learned”形成语义呼应。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sam Coleman works at the Cleveland Hardware store.

But for me, this particular holiday became a turning point, one that would deeply influence how I view kindness and compassion (同情). It all began when I decided to surprise my best friend, who was studying in Leeds. I hadn’t seen her in months, and we had been talking about catching up for weeks. It was already nearly 7 p. m. when I arrived at the city of Leeds. Excited but tired, I was looking forward to a pleasant evening with my friend. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment when I was told that the last bus to her university had already left. Panic began to set in as I stood on the busy street, unsure of what to do next. I couldn’t even reach her on the phone; it seemed that she had switched it off, probably to avoid interruptions for the evening. I wandered aimlessly along the street. The feeling of loneliness started to weigh heavily on me. Suddenly, I noticed a motorbike following me, and I instinctively (本能地) felt a wave of unease. I quickened my pace, but the motorbike kept following. My anxiety intensified, and before I could think clearly, I rushed into the nearest store. Inside the store, a woman who appeared to be in her late 40s was arranging some goods on the shelves. She looked up when I entered, her eyes filled with curiosity. “What’s wrong?” she asked gently. I tried to calm myself and explained how I had come to visit my friend, only to find myself stranded (滞留) with no place to go. Without hesitation, the woman smiled and said, “If you don’t mind, you can stay here for the night. It’s not safe to be out there by yourself.” I was taken aback by her kindness, unsure if I had heard her correctly. “You can sleep in the back room of the store. I’ll make you some dinner. You must be worn out.” 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。 I was very grateful and tears streamed down my face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience left a deep impression on me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I was very grateful and tears streamed down my face. She led me to a small room, where there was a comfortable mat and a blanket. The woman then went to the kitchen area, and within minutes, she brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. The warmth of the meal matched the warmth in my heart. The next morning, she woke me up with a smile, saying “You can go to visit your friend now.” I thanked her repeatedly, but she simply waved it off. “Kindness is something we should all share,” she said. This experience left a deep impression on me. It reminded me that even in moments of uncertainty and fear, there are still kind souls willing to offer help, even to a stranger. The woman’s generosity not only provided me with shelter and food but also reminded me of the importance of helping others when they are in need. In this world where we often hear about negative stories and struggles, this simple act of kindness was a beacon of light. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述作者在假期前往利兹探望好友，因错过末班车且联系不上朋友而滞留街头，突遇摩托车跟随引发不安后，躲进商店向一位 40 多岁女士求助。女士暖心收留并照料作者的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句“我非常感激，眼泪顺着脸颊流了下来”可知，第一段可描写女士带领作者到休息房间，为作者准备晚餐，以及次日清晨送别的场景，通过动作和语言描写突出女士的温暖与善良。 ②由第二段首句“这段经历给我留下了深刻的印象”可知，第二段可阐述这次经历让作者认识到陌生人之间善意的存在，领悟到帮助他人的重要性，并将这种感悟升华为生活中的信念。 2. 续写线索：女士提供住宿与晚餐——次日告别——女士的话语——经历让作者相信善意——领悟帮助他人的意义——善意成为生活中的光 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①带领：led/guide ②唤醒：woke up/arouse/awaken ③挥手示意：waved off/dismissed with a wave 情感类 ①害怕：fear/fright/scare ②温暖：warmth/coziness 【点睛】【高分句型1】She led me to a small room, where there was a comfortable mat and a blanket.（运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】The next morning, she woke me up with a smile, saying “You can go to visit your friend now.”（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型3】In this world where we often hear about negative stories and struggles, this simple act of kindness was a beacon of light.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟押题卷 英语(二) 本试卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

After returning back to Oxford, Hodgkin spent years perfecting X-ray crystallography. This led to her confirmation of the penicillin structure by Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abraham and the discovery of vitaminB12structure. Catherine Coleman Catherine Coleman is a living example of the impact women have on the world of science. Following a career in chemistry and as a former United States Air Force officer, Coleman was selected to join the NASA Astronaut Corps. She has two Space Shuttle missions to her name including Expedition 27 to the International Space Station — the final mission to the ISS with the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Rosalind Franklin Rosalind Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work on DNA, RNA and viruses formed the basis for Watson and Crick’s DNA work that won them a Nobel Prize in 1962, sadly after she had already passed away. Working as a researcher at King’s College in London, she took an X-ray photograph of B-DNA, famously known as Photo 51, which served as the basis for the identification of the DNA structure. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin A British-American astronomer and astrophysicist, Cecilia stretched the boundaries of thought in her PhD thesis with an explanation of stars as relative quantities of helium and hydrogen. Following the completion of her PhD, Cecilia studied the stars to understand the structure of the Milky Way. Through her studies, she and her team made well over three million observations that help us understand our galaxy today. 1. What is special about Catherine Coleman? A. She entered the outer space. B. She majored in chemistry. C. She earned a PhD degree. D. She fought for women’s rights. 2. What did Dorothy and Rosalind have in common? A. Winning a Nobel Prize. B. Teaching at universities. C. Specializing in DNA research. D. Working on chemical substances. 3. Who helped expand our vision of the universe? A. Dorothy Hodgkin. B. Catherine Coleman. C. Rosalind Franklin. D. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. B Point Nemo, located between Chile and New Zealand, is 2,688 kilometres away from the closest land point. It was named by Croatian survey engineer Hrvoje Lukatela, who was studying ocean currents at the time. He named the point after Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. There is no set way to get there, given its inaccessibility. But that didn’t stop British explorer Chris Brown, who completed his feat (壮举) earlier this month. “Having considered several different ways of getting to Point Nemo, we hit on the idea of using an expedition (探险) boat called the Hanse Explore.” Brown set sail “in the early hours” of March 12, and expected it to take 10 days to reach Point Nemo. He said the crew was “immediately thrust into our first South Pacific storm” and reported fast winds and “six-metre waves”. Brown said that going through the storm was inevitable (不可避免的). “One of the reasons for setting off when we did, instead of waiting out the storm, was the forecast for conditions at Point Nemo. Captain Andriy Bratash spotted that there was a weather window at the Pole which would allow us to use the Zodiac RIBs (a smaller boat) and to possibly get into the water. If we were late arriving, Nemo would be in the center of a hurricane force storm.” After 10 days, and 4,200 km, Brown and the crew arrived. At that stage, waves had “only” started to reach 3 metres in height, Brown said. This meant the crew were able to launch the Zodiacs and be in the water—the first person in recorded history able to do so. “At all the other Poles of Inaccessibility I’ve visited, I’ve taken a photo standing at the exact spot. That wasn’t going to be possible this time. So, I came up with the idea of ‘floating’ at the Pole and holding the maritime flags spelling out the word N. E. M. O,” Brown said. 4. What is Point Nemo named after? A. A Croatian engineer. B. A fictional captain. C. A South Pacific storm. D. A type of small boat. 5. Why did Brown’s crew decide to sail despite the storm? A. They had a strict schedule to follow. B They knew the storm would not last long. C. They were testing their ship’s safety standards. D. They wanted to avoid the worst part of a hurricane. 6. What made Brown’s expedition unique was that he became the first ________. A to reach Point Nemo by boat B. to enter the water at Point Nemo C. to sail along Captain Nemo’s route D. to experience the South Pacific storm 7. How did Brown mark his achievement at Point Nemo? A. By planting a flag on the seafloor. B. By taking a photo at the exact spot. C. By marking the place with his name. D. By floating in the water holding a sign. C If you want to seem sincere and receive more responses to your texts, spell out words instead of abbreviating (缩写) them, according to a new study. Researchers conducted eight experiments with a total of more than 5,300 participants using various methods. Across the experiments, individuals who used texting abbreviations were perceived as more insincere and were less likely to receive replies because they were seen as putting less effort in text conversations. “In daily interactions, we often meet people who could be considered good texters or poor texters,” said lead researcher David Fang. “We thought texters might like abbreviations because they would convey an informal sense of closeness, so we were surprised that abbreviations elicited negative perceptions about people who use them.” Texting has become a dominant form of digital communication, and most texters use some abbreviations, such as IDK for “I don’t know”. But people might not realize that abbreviations come with costs. In a survey, 99% of respondents reported they used texting abbreviations, and 84% of them didn’t believe that others wouldn’t like abbreviations. The experiments included an analysis of replies to Discord group chat users, and Tinder dating app users’ conversation histories spanning 37 countries. Other experiments included participants who rated their texting conversations with people who either were or weren’t using abbreviations. In the experiments, texters who used abbreviations received shorter and fewer responses and were less likely to receive contact information from the other texter. Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. “We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort and accept being perceived as less sincere, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to appear more sincere and strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.” 8. Why might people choose to ignore abbreviated texts? A. The texts are hard to understand. B. The texts have complex meanings. C. They consider the texters not genuine. D. They’re unfamiliar with the abbreviations. 9. What does the underlined word “elicited” mean in paragraph 3? A. Meant. B. Caused. C. Contained. D. Removed. 10. What largely contributed to the findings of the research? A. Social media apps. B. Language learning websites. C. Historical documents. D. Recordings of daily conversations. 11. When is it acceptable to use texting abbreviations according to David Fang? A. When you text strangers. B. When you try to strengthen social bonds. C. When the relationship is less significant. D. When making a good impression on someone. D Digital health tools, such as patient portals (门户网站), treatment apps and online appointment schedulers, are increasingly common. But not everyone is equally at home using them. To find out how language, education and age may affect a person’s comfort in using digital tools, UC San Francisco (UCSF) researchers surveyed caregivers of hospitalized children at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. The researchers found that being a Spanish speaker, having less education, and being older all made people feel less comfortable with digital health tools. “Digital health tools are meant to improve health access and outcomes, but they must be useful for people from all backgrounds to avoid deepening existing health inequities,” said Naomi Bardach, professor of pediatrics at UCSIF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. “We don’t want to leave people behind, whether they are older adults, people with lower education, or those of a specific race, or language background.” Researchers asked how well people felt they could engage with digital tools, how motivated they were to use them, and how safe and in control they felt while they were using them. This was intended to measure people’s concerns about the privacy of digital health tools. Education was the most important factor, after language. Having a high school education or less was most strongly associated with lower scores in all three areas measured. Latinx and Black caregivers scored significantly lower on “feeling safe and in control” with digital tools. Rural caregivers, however, scored higher on the privacy measure, and they were more motivated to use digital tools. Those over 45 were less motivated to use digital tools, and they also felt less safe and in control while using them. “Accessing these tools affects all kinds of things, like requesting medication refills online, tracking the number of steps per day, or helping a child play a therapeutic game for ADHD,” Bardach said. “We all need to be thinking about how to make sure people can use them comfortably, and if they can’t, how to provide an alternative.” 12. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How digital health tools may impact the patients. B. What are the advantages of using digital health tools. C. Why digital health tools need to be improved in diversity. D. What affects people’s comfort in using digital health tools. 13.

But for me, this particular holiday became a turning point, one that would deeply influence how I view kindness and compassion (同情). It all began when I decided to surprise my best friend, who was studying in Leeds. I hadn’t seen her in months, and we had been talking about catching up for weeks. It was already nearly 7 p. m. when I arrived at the city of Leeds. Excited but tired, I was looking forward to a pleasant evening with my friend. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment when I was told that the last bus to her university had already left. Panic began to set in as I stood on the busy street, unsure of what to do next. I couldn’t even reach her on the phone; it seemed that she had switched it off, probably to avoid interruptions for the evening. I wandered aimlessly along the street. The feeling of loneliness started to weigh heavily on me. Suddenly, I noticed a motorbike following me, and I instinctively (本能地) felt a wave of unease. I quickened my pace, but the motorbike kept following. My anxiety intensified, and before I could think clearly, I rushed into the nearest store. Inside the store, a woman who appeared to be in her late 40s was arranging some goods on the shelves. She looked up when I entered, her eyes filled with curiosity. “What’s wrong?” she asked gently. I tried to calm myself and explained how I had come to visit my friend, only to find myself stranded (滞留) with no place to go. Without hesitation, the woman smiled and said, “If you don’t mind, you can stay here for the night. It’s not safe to be out there by yourself.” I was taken aback by her kindness, unsure if I had heard her correctly. “You can sleep in the back room of the store. I’ll make you some dinner. You must be worn out.” 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。 I was very grateful and tears streamed down my face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience left a deep impression on me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
