August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn’t owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — about my love life or my vacations or my house — all these pictures and words were feeding into my business so they would result in sales,” Lamm said. Ultimately, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point.
At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn’t look at it for a whole day, which she said “was very inconvenient to everyone in my life”. It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. Her dumbphone offers only basic calling and texting.
Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and scrolling (滚动) through social media. In 2025, these devices function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. “You figure out these solutions by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can give you another option when you can’t use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will”
When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting I sought out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers, she said. “If I hadn't spent thousands of hours trying to build a following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, submitting to exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not prioritized online visibility over creative development”
24. What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone?
A. Her addiction to the smartphone.
B. The stress from social networking.
C. Her pressure from the busy college life.
D. The sense of duty to help her followers.
25. Why does the author mention the circumstances in 2025 in paragraph 3?
A. To stress the diversity of solutions to phone addiction.
B. To illustrate people can live well without smartphones.
C. To state the close connection between man and devices.
D. To give the fact that people are often interrupted by phones.
26. What message does August Lamm want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. One can be less reliant on social media.
B. Use smartphones only when necessary.
C. Social media do more harm than good.
D. Dumbphones are making a comeback.
27. How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text?
A. Responsible and strict. B. Determined and adaptable.
C. Generous and charitable. D. Fashionable and knowledgeable.
C
More than a third of food grown in the U.S. goes uneaten, and that percentage has increased in the past five years. Much of that food ends up in landfills, where it decomposes (分解), creating a powerful gas that contributes to global warming. A company based in Denmark spent eight years working to bring that percentage down by helping restaurants sell food that would otherwise go to waste.
The app Too Good To Go started in Denmark in 2015. Today there are participating stores in 17 countries and more than a dozen U.S. cities including New York, Phoenix and Seattle. Several cities including Santa Barbara, Minneapolis and Atlanta just started participating this year. The company claims Los Angeles is its most successful city yet. Next, it’s headed to cities in the southeast.
MacAulay, the app’s U.S. country manager, says the cheaper price tag and the recouped (收回的) business costs are great side effects, but that’s not the main point. “The core of the why is really around reducing food waste,” he says. Because it’s such a large contributor to Co2e, which stands for the carbon dioxide equivalent (当量) of a product’s total planet-warming gas emissions.
When someone buys a “surprise bag” from the restaurant, the app adds that purchase to the consumer’s lifetime climate impact record. It displays all the carbon emissions prevented from going to waste. “In the U.S. all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of our total greenhouse gas emissions,” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste nonprofit ReFED.
The app is especially popular among businesses that produce baked goods, since they can’t sell food that will be no longer fresh the next day. “I think in the areas where they’ve tried to expand into retail grocery, even into manufacturing, there’s still a little bit to be figured out there,” Coari says.
28. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. The company’s chain stores.
B. The condition of American cities.
C. The operation modes of the app.
D. The promotion and application of the app.
29. Which is the original intention of developing the app?
A. To reduce business costs. B. To make shopping convenient.
C. To minimize food wastage. D. To help restaurants sell food cheaply.
30. What can we know about the consumers who buy “a surprise bag”?
A. They are cost-conscious customers.
B. Their behavior will be handsomely rewarded.
C. Their daily carbon emissions will be calculated.
D. Their contributions to the earth will be recorded.
31. What is a future goal for the app according to Coari?
A. To broaden the selection on the app. B. To develop alternatives to baked goods.
C. To make sure food is available to all. D. To advance the development of grocery.
D
Miami saltwater recreational fishing is a big part of Florida’s tourist economy. Fishing enthusiasts take more than 40 million saltwater fishing trips each year in Florida in hopes of getting a grouper (石斑鱼), snapper or mahi mahi. But strict regulations on seasons and the species that can be taken mean that more than half of the fish caught on a typical trip are returned to the water. Fishing guides and marine fisheries officials are spreading the word how to make sure the fish that are released live to fight another day.
University of Florida marine fisheries specialist Angela Collins says when reef (珊瑚礁) fish that spend their time in deep water are brought to the surface, the gases in their bodies expand, sometimes greatly. They can experience barotrauma. “That’s when you see the fish’s eyes sticking out of its head or its stomach popping out of its mouth,” Collins says. “That obviously can be harmful to the fish, in some cases fatal.”
People who fish in Florida are now required to have long needles on board to help reef fish release the pressure. But it’s also important to attach something called a descending (下降)tool to the fish. It’s a weight attaching to the fish’s lower lip before lowering it slowly back into the water. “This just shoots it down really fast,” Collins says. “It’s closed until this gets to 100 feet. And it pops open. And that just basically lets the fish swim off.”
Conn has operated party boats out of Miami for more than 40 years. Saltwater recreational fishing has changed a lot during that time. “It used to be about killing a lot of fish.” But then he says, “Regulations came in. Some folks didn’t fish as much when they weren’t able to come home with as many fish.” Now, he says, some come out for a day on the water, to be with their friends and to maybe come home with a fish. Conn says, “It’s fishing just for what it is, it’s about the experience.”
32. What does the underlined word “barotrauma” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?
A. An injury caused by water. B. A life-threatening situation.
C. A rare chance in life. D. An expansion of the species.
33. Why was a descending tool attached to the released fish?
A. To release the pressure for it.
B. To take a good use of the tool.
C. To help it sink to the bottom more slowly.
D. To get it back down to its habitat rapidly.
34. What is the most probable cause for the change of Miami saltwater recreational fishing?
A. Killing fish is out of fashion.
B Strict rules have been issued.
C. Interest in fishing is growing.
D. Fishing industry is on the decline.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. When to Return Reef Fish to the Sea
B. What to Do with Young Fish in the Sea
C. How to Make Sure Released Reef Fish Survive
D. How to Promote Saltwater Recreational Fishing

Train Your Brain to Think in Another Language
We’ve all heard that thinking in a foreign language is a sign of real fluency. But I bet you haven’t heard that it’s the fifth key language skill that all learners must develop—falling right in line with speaking listening, reading and writing. ____36____ All it takes is some practice.
Translate your thoughts.
Start by describing what’s around you. When you see a tree, you could think “tree” in your target language. If the correct word for tree isn’t coming to you, think “green”, “wood” or anything else that can describe it. ____37____ If you’re really limited in terms of vocabulary, you could even count people, animals or objects in your head. Anything helps!
____38____
One of the best things about this strategy is that you won’t have to make many changes to your schedule. These are things you’ll already be doing, just do them in your target language! From writing your to-do list to reading the news, there are so many options to choose from!
Read more first person literature.
Reading is so important when it comes to learning a language. If you read books written in the first person, you'll see direct benefits. ____39____ You get to read someone else’s thoughts so that you can think your own! How cool is that?
Write in a journal.
Because journaling is writing down your thoughts, it gets you into the habit of thinking in your target language, especially if you're finding thinking itself to be difficult at first. Basically, it’s just another way to practice, although it’s slower. ____40____
A. It doubles as writing practice, too!
B. Learn to make a balanced schedule.
C. Carry out your daily activities in your target language.
D. Same goes for buildings, animals, clothing, whatever.
E. Obviously, these books give you the main character’s thoughts.
F. One of them is that you will find your reading speed greatly improved.
G. Like the other skills, thinking in your target language is absolutely learnable.
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I had spent the previous decade working ____41____ toward my goal of becoming a professor. However, after celebrating my 30th birthday, the ____42____ of academia faded. I decided to ____43____ my academic career plans and set my sights on industry.
A month into my job search, an offer arrived: a low-stress, six-figure research ____44____ in product development. It seemed to be everything I ____45____, so I took it. Yet, soon after, I found I was back to the ____46____ tasks I’d once completed as an undergraduate research assistant.
Repeated routine work wasn’t where I wanted to be in my career. I was ____47____ — I wanted to manage projects and ____48____ a team. But my manager wouldn’t give those ____49____ until I’d proved myself in industry.
I realized I need to let go of the idea that I was already a (n) “____50____” in my field. I had to become a (n) ____51____ once again. So, in the months that followed, I set out to learn everything I could about my new career. In some ways, product development was ____52____ to my academic research. But in other ways, it was vastly different. I needed to create profit, not just ____53____.
As I read professional materials passionately, I realized my PhD gave me a “learner” personality — loving to ____54____ and grow. Two years later, I became the chief engineer at the company. When asked to describe my greatest ____55____, I smiled and said: “I have a PhD. I learn incredibly fast.”
41. A. tirelessly B. apparently C. unwillingly D. occasionally
42. A. barrier B. exchange C. problem D. attraction

67. 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。
“Surprise!” The moment I opened the door, this cheerful shout filled my ears. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and a cake with 18 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned eighteen, the legal age to become an adult. My parents had been planning this party for weeks, and it was perfect.
I was enjoying the party laughing heartily and chatting with everyone when I noticed my dad go into another room. Minutes later, he reappeared, holding a small box. He handed it to me and said, “Son, I’ve got a truly special gift for you. It’s something I’ve treasured for ages, and now, I believe, is the perfect moment to pass it on.” Curiously, I wondered what could possibly be inside. I carefully opened the box and discovered an old, well-worn diary. Initially, I could barely hide my disappointment. I had secretly hoped for something more thrilling, perhaps a brand-new phone or a laptop. However, as I began looking through the pages, my interest gradually increased.
The diary was filled with stories about my dad’s high school days, his friends, his dreams, and the challenges he faced. There were entries about his difficulties in studies, arguments with his parents. I could see myself in many of his stories. It was amazing to realize that my dad had gone through similar things when he was at my age.
As I read, one entry caught my attention. It was about a time when my dad was in his senior year. He had been offered a chance to go on a trip to another country with his classmates. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he was worried about the cost. His parents couldn’t afford it, and he didn’t want to ask for too much money. He was really stuck in a dilemma.
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。
I was intensely curious to know whether he made the trip at last
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was inspiring to hear he was able to solve the problem on his own.

【原文】M: The May Day Holiday is coming. It’s time to think about taking a break. Are you going to travel abroad like last year?
W: No, my parents and I have decided on a trip to a small rural town. City life is stressful, so it’s extremely important to give ourselves the time to step away, to support both our physical and mental wellbeing.
M: Nice choice! How did you come up with the idea?
W: I was attracted by a postcard from a friend. My father said he thought of his childhood the minute he saw the countryside’s scenery on the postcard.
M: That’s right. The beauty of the village scenery is unique.
W: Anyway, what about you? Will you still go to the coastal town with your family?
M: I’ll do something different this holiday. Maybe I will explore a new hobby like hiking, gardening or photography. Who knows, I might discover a hidden talent!
W: Photography sounds like a perfect choice. It is one of my hobbies too.

W: Wow. Private colleges are great. They have small classes, so Emily would get more attention.

W: Oh, yeah? What's that?
M: You know, my mother is eighty years old. I'm thinking about moving her into a nursing home. She lives alone now, and needs some help with doing everyday things.
W: Well, if so, she wouldn't be lonely.
M: Yeah. Then we would not worry about her so much.

The most important event in the Festival is the Frog Jump Contest, where around 600 competitors, men and women, old and young, try to get their frogs to jump as far as possible. No touching is permitted, though, the competitors are only allowed to tap the ground behind their frogs, scream at them, or blow at them to make them jump. They are allowed to bring their own frogs, or they can rent one for $5. Winners will get a medal.

August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn’t owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — about my love life or my vacations or my house — all these pictures and words were feeding into my business so they would result in sales,” Lamm said. Ultimately, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point.
At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn’t look at it for a whole day, which she said “was very inconvenient to everyone in my life”. It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. Her dumbphone offers only basic calling and texting.
Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and scrolling (滚动) through social media. In 2025, these devices function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. “You figure out these solutions by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can give you another option when you can’t use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will”
When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting I sought out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers, she said. “If I hadn't spent thousands of hours trying to build a following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, submitting to exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not prioritized online visibility over creative development”
24. What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone?
A. Her addiction to the smartphone.
B. The stress from social networking.
C. Her pressure from the busy college life.
D. The sense of duty to help her followers.
25 Why does the author mention the circumstances in 2025 in paragraph 3?
A. To stress the diversity of solutions to phone addiction.
B. To illustrate people can live well without smartphones.
C. To state the close connection between man and devices.
D. To give the fact that people are often interrupted by phones.
26. What message does August Lamm want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. One can be less reliant on social media.
B. Use smartphones only when necessary.
C. Social media do more harm than good.
D. Dumbphones are making a comeback.
27. How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text?
A. Responsible and strict. B. Determined and adaptable.
C. Generous and charitable. D. Fashionable and knowledgeable.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了August Lamm是一位作家、艺术家和前艺术影响者,自2022年以来不再使用智能手机。Lamm找到了解决的办法,并且认识到了不依赖智能手机所带来的诸多好处。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ultimately, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point. (她说,最终,保持这种状态的压力变得太大了,她达到了崩溃的临界点。)”可知,是社交网络带来的压力让August Lamm决定放弃使用智能手机。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 2025, these devices function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. (在2025年,这些设备将充当虚拟钱包、健康追踪器、身份识别工具,甚至是个人助理。然而,Lamm已经找到了应对这些挑战的方法。)”可知,如果没有智能手机,有些事情可能会让人觉得无法驾驭,因为它们不仅仅是发短信和浏览社交媒体。所以作者在下文提到2025年的情况是为了说明人与智能设备之间的联系非常密切。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, submitting to exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not prioritized online visibility over creative development. (如果我没有花费数千小时试图建立粉丝群体,我本可以把那些时间花在去画廊参观、上课、结识他人、建立人脉、组织活动、提交作品参展,以及在现实世界中为自己打响名气上。如果我没有把在网络上曝光度置于创意发展之上,我本可以进步得更快。)”可推知,August Lamm在最后一段想传达的信息是人们可以减少对社交媒体的依赖。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. (她花了大约一年的时间才卖掉自己的智能手机,并完全投入到功能手机的生活方式中。)”以及第三段中“However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. (然而,Lamm已经找到了应对这些挑战的方法。)”可知,August Lamm决心放弃智能手机,并且能够适应没有智能手机的生活,找到应对挑战的方法,说明她是一个有决心且适应能力强的人。故选B。
C
More than a third of food grown in the U.S. goes uneaten, and that percentage has increased in the past five years. Much of that food ends up in landfills, where it decomposes (分解), creating a powerful gas that contributes to global warming. A company based in Denmark spent eight years working to bring that percentage down by helping restaurants sell food that would otherwise go to waste.
The app Too Good To Go started in Denmark in 2015. Today there are participating stores in 17 countries and more than a dozen U.S. cities including New York, Phoenix and Seattle. Several cities including Santa Barbara, Minneapolis and Atlanta just started participating this year. The company claims Los Angeles is its most successful city yet. Next, it’s headed to cities in the southeast.
MacAulay, the app’s U.S. country manager, says the cheaper price tag and the recouped (收回的) business costs are great side effects, but that’s not the main point. “The core of the why is really around reducing food waste,” he says. Because it’s such a large contributor to Co2e, which stands for the carbon dioxide equivalent (当量) of a product’s total planet-warming gas emissions.
When someone buys a “surprise bag” from the restaurant, the app adds that purchase to the consumer’s lifetime climate impact record. It displays all the carbon emissions prevented from going to waste. “In the U.S. all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of our total greenhouse gas emissions,” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste nonprofit ReFED.
The app is especially popular among businesses that produce baked goods, since they can’t sell food that will be no longer fresh the next day. “I think in the areas where they’ve tried to expand into retail grocery, even into manufacturing, there’s still a little bit to be figured out there,” Coari says.
28. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. The company’s chain stores.
B. The condition of American cities.
C. The operation modes of the app.
D. The promotion and application of the app.
29. Which is the original intention of developing the app?
A. To reduce business costs. B. To make shopping convenient.
C. To minimize food wastage. D. To help restaurants sell food cheaply.
30. What can we know about the consumers who buy “a surprise bag”?
A. They are cost-conscious customers.
B. Their behavior will be handsomely rewarded.
C. Their daily carbon emissions will be calculated.
D. Their contributions to the earth will be recorded.
31. What is a future goal for the app according to Coari?
A. To broaden the selection on the app. B. To develop alternatives to baked goods.
C. To make sure food is available to all. D. To advance the development of grocery.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A

主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The app Too Good To Go started in Denmark in 2015. Today there are participating stores in 17 countries and more than a dozen U.S. cities including New York, Phoenix and Seattle. Several cities including Santa Barbara, Minneapolis and Atlanta just started participating this year. The company claims Los Angeles is its most successful city yet. Next, it’s headed to cities in the southeast. (这款名为Too Good To Go的应用程序于2015年在丹麦推出。如今,参与该计划的商店遍布17个国家和美国十几个城市,包括纽约、凤凰城和西雅图。圣巴巴拉、明尼阿波利斯和亚特兰大等多个城市今年才刚刚加入。该公司称,洛杉矶是目前最成功的城市。接下来,它将进军美国东南部城市)”可知,第二段主要讲该应用程序的推广和应用情况。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““The core of the why is really around reducing food waste,” he says. (“我们的核心目标其实是减少食物浪费,”他说)”可知,开发该应用程序的初衷是最大限度减少食物浪费。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When someone buys a “surprise bag” from the restaurant, the app adds that purchase to the consumer’s lifetime climate impact record. It displays all the carbon emissions prevented from going to waste. (当有人从餐馆购买“惊喜袋”时,该应用会将这一购买记录添加到消费者的终身气候影响记录中,显示所有因避免浪费而减少的碳排放量)”可知,购买“惊喜袋”的消费者对地球的贡献会被记录。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““I think in the areas where they’ve tried to expand into retail grocery, even into manufacturing, there’s still a little bit to be figured out there,” Coari says. (Coari说:“我认为,在他们试图扩展到零售食品杂货甚至制造业的领域,仍有一些问题需要解决。”)”可知,这款应用程序未来的目标是扩大应用程序上的产品选择。故选A。
D
Miami saltwater recreational fishing is a big part of Florida’s tourist economy. Fishing enthusiasts take more than 40 million saltwater fishing trips each year in Florida in hopes of getting a grouper (石斑鱼), snapper or mahi mahi. But strict regulations on seasons and the species that can be taken mean that more than half of the fish caught on a typical trip are returned to the water. Fishing guides and marine fisheries officials are spreading the word how to make sure the fish that are released live to fight another day.
University of Florida marine fisheries specialist Angela Collins says when reef (珊瑚礁) fish that spend their time in deep water are brought to the surface, the gases in their bodies expand, sometimes greatly. They can experience barotrauma. “That’s when you see the fish’s eyes sticking out of its head or its stomach popping out of its mouth,” Collins says. “That obviously can be harmful to the fish, in some cases fatal.”
People who fish in Florida are now required to have long needles on board to help reef fish release the pressure. But it’s also important to attach something called a descending (下降)tool to the fish. It’s a weight attaching to the fish’s lower lip before lowering it slowly back into the water. “This just shoots it down really fast,” Collins says. “It’s closed until this gets to 100 feet. And it pops open. And that just basically lets the fish swim off.”
Conn has operated party boats out of Miami for more than 40 years. Saltwater recreational fishing has changed a lot during that time. “It used to be about killing a lot of fish.” But then he says, “Regulations came in. Some folks didn’t fish as much when they weren’t able to come home with as many fish.” Now, he says, some come out for a day on the water, to be with their friends and to maybe come home with a fish. Conn says, “It’s fishing just for what it is, it’s about the experience.”
32. What does the underlined word “barotrauma” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?
A. An injury caused by water. B. A life-threatening situation.
C. A rare chance in life. D. An expansion of the species.
33. Why was a descending tool attached to the released fish?
A. To release the pressure for it.
B. To take a good use of the tool.
C. To help it sink to the bottom more slowly.
D. To get it back down to its habitat rapidly.
34. What is the most probable cause for the change of Miami saltwater recreational fishing?
A. Killing fish is out of fashion.
B. Strict rules have been issued.
C. Interest in fishing is growing.
D. Fishing industry is on the decline.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. When to Return Reef Fish to the Sea
B. What to Do with Young Fish in the Sea
C. How to Make Sure Released Reef Fish Survive
D. How to Promote Saltwater Recreational Fishing
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了佛罗里达州的专家是如何在季节捕捞中安全地把生活在海底的、不应该捕捞的物种放生的。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词后文“That’s when you see the fish’s eyes sticking out of its head or its stomach popping out of its mouth. That obviously can be harmful to the fish, in some cases fatal.(那时你会看到鱼的眼睛从头部凸出来,或者它的胃从嘴里冒出来。这显然会对鱼造成伤害,在某些情况下甚至是致命的)”可知,当深海里的珊瑚礁鱼类因从深水被钓至水面时体内气体膨胀导致的眼球突出、内脏外翻等致命性损伤,由此可推测出“barotrauma”指的是“一种危及生命的情况”。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it’s also important to attach something called a descending (下降)tool to the fish. It’s a weight attaching to the fish’s lower lip before lowering it slowly back into the water. “This just shoots it down really fast,” Collins says. “It’s closed until this gets to 100 feet. And it pops open. And that just basically lets the fish swim off.”(但给鱼安装一种叫做“下降工具”的装置也很重要。这是一种在将鱼缓慢放回水中之前附在鱼下唇上的重物。柯林斯说:“这个工具能让鱼快速下沉。它会保持闭合状态,直到到达100英尺深的位置时才会弹开,这样鱼基本上就能游走了。”)”可知,把一个下降工具连接到释放的鱼身上是为了让它迅速回到栖息地。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Saltwater recreational fishing has changed a lot during that time. “It used to be about killing a lot of fish.” But then he says, “Regulations came in. Some folks didn’t fish as much when they weren’t able to come home with as many fish.”(在那段时间里,海水休闲捕鱼活动发生了很大变化。“过去人们主要是为了捕捞大量的鱼。” 但随后他说,“相关法规出台后,一些人发现不能像以前那样带着很多鱼回家,于是捕鱼的次数就减少了。”)”可知,迈阿密海水休闲渔业发生变化的最可能原因是颁布了严格的规定。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But strict regulations on seasons and the species that can be taken mean that more than half of the fish caught on a typical trip are returned to the water. Fishing guides and marine fisheries officials are spreading the word how to make sure the fish that are released live to fight another day.(但对季节和可捕捞鱼种的严格规定意味着,在一次典型的捕鱼之旅中,超过一半的鱼被放回水中。钓鱼指南和海洋渔业官员正在宣传如何确保被放生的鱼能活下来,以迎接新的一天)”并结合文章其他内容可知,文章主要介绍了迈阿密海水休闲渔业是佛罗里达州旅游经济的重要组成部分,但由于对季节和可捕捞鱼种的严格规定,超过一半的鱼被放回水中,文章介绍了如何确保被放生的鱼能够存活的方法,以及迈阿密海水休闲渔业发生的变化。C选项“如何确保放归的珊瑚礁鱼存活”概括了核心内容,是文章的最佳标题。故选C。

Train Your Brain to Think in Another Language
We’ve all heard that thinking in a foreign language is a sign of real fluency. But I bet you haven’t heard that it’s the fifth key language skill that all learners must develop—falling right in line with speaking, listening, reading and writing. ____36____ All it takes is some practice.
Translate your thoughts.
Start by describing what’s around you. When you see a tree, you could think “tree” in your target language. If the correct word for tree isn’t coming to you, think “green”, “wood” or anything else that can describe it. ____37____ If you’re really limited in terms of vocabulary, you could even count people, animals or objects in your head. Anything helps!
____38____
One of the best things about this strategy is that you won’t have to make many changes to your schedule. These are things you’ll already be doing, just do them in your target language! From writing your to-do list to reading the news, there are so many options to choose from!
Read more first person literature.
Reading is so important when it comes to learning a language. If you read books written in the first person, you'll see direct benefits. ____39____ You get to read someone else’s thoughts so that you can think your own! How cool is that?
Write in a journal.
Because journaling is writing down your thoughts, it gets you into the habit of thinking in your target language, especially if you're finding thinking itself to be difficult at first. Basically, it’s just another way to practice, although it’s slower. ____40____
A. It doubles as writing practice, too!
B. Learn to make a balanced schedule.
C. Carry out your daily activities in your target language.
D. Same goes for buildings, animals, clothing, whatever.
E. Obviously, these books give you the main character’s thoughts.
F. One of them is that you will find your reading speed greatly improved.
G. Like the other skills, thinking in your target language is absolutely learnable.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. E 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了如何养成用外语思考的习惯,从而达到真正的语言流利。

【37题详解】
根据空前“Start by describing what’s around you. When you see a tree, you could think “tree” in your target language. If the correct word for tree isn’t coming to you, think “green”, “wood” or anything else that can describe it.(从描述你周围的事物开始。当你看到一棵树时,你可以在目标语言中想到‘树’。如果你想不出正确的词来形容树,那就想想‘绿色’、‘木头’或其他任何可以描述它的词。)”可知,空前提到从描述周围的事物开始培养用目标语言思考,故D项“同样的道理也适用于建筑、动物、衣服等等。”符合,从描述周围的东西开始,如树,同样的也可以适用于生活中的其他东西,比如说建筑、动物、衣服等等。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据本段内容“One of the best things about this strategy is that you won’t have to make many changes to your schedule. These are things you’ll already be doing, just do them in your target language! From writing your to-do list to reading the news, there are so many options to choose from!(这个策略最好的一点就是你不需要对你的日程做太多的改变。这些都是你已经在做的事情,只要用你的目标语言去做就行了!从写待办事项清单到阅读新闻,有很多的选择!)”可知,本段主要讲述了在日常活动中运用目标语言,故C项“用目标语言进行日常活动。”符合本段标题,概括本段内容。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据空前“If you read books written in the first person, you'll see direct benefits.(如果你阅读用第一人称写的书,你会看到直接的好处。)”可知,空前提到阅读用第一人称写的书,就会看到直接的好处,故此处应具体讲什么好处,故E项“显然,这些书给你的是主角的想法。”符合,说明阅读用第一人称写的书就能给你是主角的想法。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据空前“Because journaling is writing down your thoughts, it gets you into the habit of thinking in your target language, especially if you're finding thinking itself to be difficult at first. Basically, it’s just another way to practice, although it’s slower.(因为写日记就是写下你的想法,它能让你养成用目标语言思考的习惯,尤其是当你发现一开始思考本身很困难的时候。从根本上说,这只是另一种练习方式,尽管它更慢。)”可知,空前提出写日记是养成用目标语言思考的习惯,它是另一种练习方式,故A项“它也是一种写作练习!”是前文的顺义承接,写日记只是另一种练习方式,它也是一种写作练习。故选A项。

67. 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。
“Surprise!” The moment I opened the door, this cheerful shout filled my ears. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and a cake with 18 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned eighteen, the legal age to become an adult. My parents had been planning this party for weeks, and it was perfect.
I was enjoying the party laughing heartily and chatting with everyone when I noticed my dad go into another room. Minutes later, he reappeared, holding a small box. He handed it to me and said, “Son, I’ve got a truly special gift for you. It’s something I’ve treasured for ages, and now, I believe, is the perfect moment to pass it on.” Curiously, I wondered what could possibly be inside. I carefully opened the box and discovered an old, well-worn diary. Initially, I could barely hide my disappointment. I had secretly hoped for something more thrilling, perhaps a brand-new phone or a laptop. However, as I began looking through the pages, my interest gradually increased.
The diary was filled with stories about my dad’s high school days, his friends, his dreams, and the challenges he faced. There were entries about his difficulties in studies, arguments with his parents. I could see myself in many of his stories. It was amazing to realize that my dad had gone through similar things when he was at my age.
As I read, one entry caught my attention. It was about a time when my dad was in his senior year. He had been offered a chance to go on a trip to another country with his classmates. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he was worried about the cost. His parents couldn’t afford it, and he didn’t want to ask for too much money. He was really stuck in a dilemma.
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。
I was intensely curious to know whether he made the trip at last.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was inspiring to hear he was able to solve the problem on his own.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was intensely curious to know whether he made the trip at last. He smiled and said, “Well, son, I decided to take on a part-time job. I worked at a local grocery store after school and on weekends. It wasn’t easy, and there were times when I was really tired, but I was determined. After months of hard work, I managed to save enough money for the trip. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I began to realize that money does not come easily.” I listened attentively, imagining my dad in that situation. His words made me see him in a new light.
It was inspiring to hear he was able to solve the problem on his own. I realized that even though life is full of challenges, there are always ways to overcome them. Just like my dad, I should work hard to achieve my own dream. From that moment on, I decided to face difficulties actively. Whether it’s in my studies or future plans, I won’t quit easily. The diary, which I initially thought was a disappointing gift, turned out to be the most precious one. It connected me with my dad’s past and taught me lessons that would stay with me forever as I stepped into adulthood.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了作者十八岁生日时,作者的父亲将自己的日记送给了作者。作者在读父亲的日记时,了解了父亲之前的生活,尤其是自己挣钱来供自己去国外。这让作者明白了,在今后的生活中,无论是学习还是未来的计划,都不能轻易地放弃,而是要通过自己的努力去实现。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我非常好奇他最终是否去到国外旅行。”可知,本段可以写父亲给作者讲述自己的那段经历,父亲自己通过兼职工作,挣到了去国外的费用。
②由第二段首句内容“听到他能够自己解决问题很是令人鼓舞。”可知,本段可以写在了解到父亲的经历后,作者感悟颇深。面对今后的生活和学习,都不能轻易放弃,而是要通过自己的努力去实现。
2.续写线索:好奇→父亲通过自己努力挣钱的故事→鼓舞人心→作者的感悟

Over two thousand people take part in the festival every year. Attending the festival is free, but those who want to enter the frog jump contest have to pay a three dollar fee. The most important event in the festival is the frog and contest, where around six hundred competitors, men and women, old and Young, try to get their frogs to jump as far as possible. No touching is permitted, though. The competitors are only allowed to tap the ground behind their frogs, screamed at them or blow at them to make them jump.
