Despite the terrible news, he underwent extensive rehabilitation (康复) at Craig Hospital in Colorado, gradually regaining mobility and strength. “The first time I got in a wheelchair in rehabilitation, I felt so free,” he said. “In this really hard situation, you’re given freedom and independence. And I’ve always been so grateful for my wheelchair. And people look at the wheelchair and say, ‘That sucks. It’s awful to be limited to using a wheelchair.’ But this wheelchair doesn’t limit me. It’s actually my freedom.” Mason embraced his new life in a wheelchair. He returned to Minnesota and was later admitted to the University of Denver, near Craig Hospital. Despite the challenges of daily life in a wheelchair, Mason has not let his disability limit him. He operates a specially adapted car, relies on a walker to leave his bed, and moves cautiously on stairs. He actively participates in adaptive sports, including tennis, basketball, swimming, and surfing. Currently, he is training for a marathon using a hand-powered bike and a stationary (固定的) bike. Mason also uses social media to inspire others with physical disabilities. With nearly270,000 followers on Instagram, he shares his everyday life and the methods he uses to overcome barriers. “There were a couple of moments when people reached out to me and said, ‘I used your method to do something and it really changed my life, changed how I interacted with the world and changed my view of this new normal,’” he said. “There have been multiple moments when I realize my dream of helping people has come true and I'm living it out right now.” 4. What happened to Mason at the age of 17? A. He became a successful athlete. B. He lost the ability to move in an accident. C. He graduated from the University of Denver. D.

Amazes. 7. What life lesson can we get from Mason’s story? A. Social media is the key to success. B. Disability is a barrier to freedom and independence. C. Life is full of setbacks and there’s no point in trying. D. Determination and adaptation can overcome challenges. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了前运动员Mason Branstrator在17岁时遭遇事故导致下半身瘫痪，但他没有因此放弃，而是积极面对生活，通过康复训练逐渐恢复行动能力，并积极参与各种适应性运动，同时利用社交媒体激励其他身体残疾的人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mason Branstrator, a former athlete, suffered a life-changing accident at 17 that left him paralyzed from the waist down.(前运动员Mason Branstrator在17岁时遭遇了一场改变他一生的意外，导致他下半身瘫痪。)”可知，Mason 17岁时在一次事故中失去了行动能力。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And I’ve always been so grateful for my wheelchair.(我一直对我的轮椅心存感激。)”可知，Mason对他的轮椅心存感激。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“It’s awful to be limited to using a wheelchair.(不得不依靠轮椅出行真是太糟糕了。)”可知，人们认为依赖轮椅是糟糕的，因此“sucks”应表示负面含义。选项A“令人失望的”意思最接近。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文中提到Mason虽然下半身瘫痪，但他没有放弃，而是积极面对生活，通过康复训练逐渐恢复行动能力，并积极参与各种适应性运动，同时利用社交媒体激励其他身体残疾的人，由此可知，决心和适应能力可以帮助人们克服生活中的挑战。故选D。 C When my son was a little kid, he liked to run in our driveway until he fell. He would then turn to me to see if he was hurt. If my face showed worry, he would cry. If I maintained peace, he would brush himself off and get back to running. Learning that I could so powerfully influence his mental state was a revelation. One night while doing homework, my son told me about a classmate who had been unkind to him. My first instinct (本能) was to rush to fix it — email the parents, call the school, and demand action. But instead of reacting, I paused. “That sounds hard. What did you do?” “Dad, I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I’m going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” “That’s a great solution,” I said, and he went back to his homework. These otherwise ordinary parenting moments made me realize a truth: Sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents over-functioning — depriving (剥夺) their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and tiring themselves in the process. We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering, and it can be painful to watch them struggle. A parent’s first instinct is often to remove barriers from their child’s path. This urge has led to pop-culture mythology (神话) around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any barrier in their child’s way. A young person who grows accustomed to having a parent intervene on his behalf begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own, feeding both anxiety and dependence. I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent. A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey. Yes, parenting can be stressful. But when we trust our children to explore the world — with us as steady and supportive guides — we lighten our own load and help them grow healthily. 8. How did the author’s son react when he fell? A. He would always cry for his father. B. He would get up with his father’s help. C. He would rise quickly and continue running. D. It depended on his father’s facial expression. 9. What did the author’s son decide to do when a classmate was unkind to him? A. Face the classmate bravely. B. Tell the classmate’s parents. C. Avoid the classmate and play soccer. D. Ignore the issue and do his homework. 10. Why does the author mention his work experience in schools? A. To define a concept. B. To support his argument. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To provide the background. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Trusting Children Is of Importance B. Putting Pressure on Kids Is Necessary C. Lighthouse Parents Benefit Kids’ Growth D. Over-Functioning Parents Do Harm to Kids 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要论述了“直升机父母”和“铲雪机父母”现象，提倡成为“灯塔父母”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If my face showed worry, he would cry. If I maintained peace, he would brush himself off and get back to running. (要是我脸上露出担忧的神情，他就会哭起来。要是我能保持镇定，他就会拍拍身上的灰，接着跑。)”可知，作者的儿子摔倒时的反应取决于他父亲的面部表情。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Dad, I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I’m going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” (“爸爸，我决定暂时不跟他一起玩了，”儿子回答道，“我打算午饭时间去踢踢足球。”)”可知，儿子决定避开那个同学，去踢足球。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. (有时候，父母能做的最好的事情就是什么都不做。)”和第七段“I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents over-functioning — depriving (剥夺) their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and tiring themselves in the process. (过去30年，我一直在学校工作，目睹了成千上万的家长与教育工作者以及他们自己的孩子互动。很多时候，我看到家长们过度干预——剥夺了孩子从奋斗中获得的自信，自己也在这个过程中疲惫不堪。)”可知，作者提到自己在学校工作三十年的经历是为了说明家长不要对孩子的成长进行过多的干预，以此支撑他的论点。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段“This urge has led to pop-culture mythology (神话) around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any barrier in their child’s way. (这种冲动催生了流行文化中关于过度干预式育儿方式的种种“神话”，比如“直升机父母”，他们像直升机一样，在孩子遇到危机时迅速飞来救援；还有“扫雪机父母”，他们会扫除孩子前进道路上的一切障碍。)”和最后一段“I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent. A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey. (我想为“灯塔式父母”正名。“灯塔式父母”就像一座稳定可靠的灯塔，为孩子提供安全和清晰的方向指引，但不会控制孩子人生旅程的每一个细节。)”可知，文章论述了“直升机父母”和“铲雪机父母”现象，提倡成为“灯塔父母”，对比说明了“灯塔父母”对孩子的成长是有益的，因此最好的题目是C选项“Lighthouse Parents Benefit Kids’ Growth (灯塔父母让孩子成长)”。故选C。 D Tiny external structures in the wax (蜡) coating of blueberries give them their blue color, researchers at the University of Bristol can reveal. In the study, published in Science Advances, researchers show why blueberries are blue despite the dark red color of the pigments (色素) in the fruit skin. Their blue color is instead provided by a layer of wax that surrounds the fruit which is made up of small structures that can spread blue and UV light over a wide area. This gives blueberries their blue appearance to humans and blue-UV to birds. Rox Middleton, Research Fellow at Bristol's School of Biological Sciences, explained, “The blue of blueberries can't be obtained by pressing firmly — because it isn't located in the pigmented juice that can be pressed out of the fruit. So we removed the wax and re-crystallized (重新结晶) it on card and in doing so we were able to create a brand new blue-UV coating.” The ultra-thin colorant (超薄着色剂) is around two microns thick, and although less reflective, it's visibly blue and reflects UV well, possibly paving the way for new colorant methods. “It shows that nature has developed to use a really neat trick, an ultra-thin layer for an important colorant,” added Rox. Most plants are coated in a thin layer of wax which has many functions, many of which scientists still don't understand. They know that it can be very effective as a self-cleaning coating. However, until now, researchers did not know how important the structure was for visible coloration. Now the team plan to look at easier ways of recreating the coating and applying it. This could lead to a more sustainable and even safe-to-eat UV and blue-reflective paint. Furthermore, these coatings could have the same multiple functions as natural biological ones that protect plants. Rox added, “It was really interesting to find that there was an unknown coloration mechanism right under our noses. It was even more exciting to be able to reproduce that color by harvesting the wax to make a new blue coating that no one has seen before.” 12. Which part of the blueberry is responsible for its blue color? A. The pigment in the fruit skin. B. The juice abstracted from the fruit. C. The wax coating surrounding the fruit. D. The randomly arranged crystal structures. 13. Why did researchers need to remove and re-crystallize the wax? A. To separate different colors. B. To study its important features. C. To understand its appearance better. D. To create a new blue-UV coating. 14. What is the next step for the research team? A. To find more fruits with similar coloration mechanisms. B. To recreate and apply the wax coating in easier ways. C. To study the nutritional benefits of the wax coating. D. To commercialize the wax as a food additive. 15. What is the attitude of researchers towards their discovery? A. Delighted. B. Indifferent. C. Conservative. D. Uncertain. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蓝莓的颜色来源于其外部的蜡涂层，而这种蜡涂层的结构对于可见着色有着重要的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Their blue color is instead provided by a layer of wax that sur-rounds the fruit which is made up of small structures that can spread blue and UV light over a wide area.(它们的蓝色是由包围在果实周围的一层蜡提供的，这层蜡是由小结构组成的，可以在很大范围内传播蓝光和紫外线。)”可知，蓝莓的蓝色是由包围果实的一层蜡提供的，这层蜡由散射蓝色和紫外线的微小结构组成。这就是为什么蓝莓对人类来说是蓝色的。故选 C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So we re-moved the wax and re-crystallized it on card and in doing so we were able to create a brand new blue-UV coating.(所以我们去掉了蜡，在卡片上重新结晶，这样我们就能创造出一种全新的蓝紫外线涂层。)”可知，研究人员去除并重新结晶蜡是为了创造一种全新的蓝-紫外线涂层。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now the team plan to look at easier ways of recreating the coating and applying it.(现在，该团队计划寻找更简单的方法来重现并应用这种涂层。)”可知，研究团队的下一步是寻找更简单的方法来重新创造这种涂层并应用它。故选 B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rox added, “It was really interesting to find that there was an unknown coloration mechanism right under our noses. It was even more exciting to be able to reproduce that color by harvesting the wax to make a new blue coating that no one has seen before.”(Rox补充说：“在我们眼皮底下发现一种未知的着色机制真的很有趣。更令人兴奋的是，能够通过收集蜡来复制这种颜色，制成一种以前没有人见过的新的蓝色涂层。”)”可推知，研究人员对于他们的发现感到很高兴。故选A。 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。 Waking up in the early morning and going for a run might feel frightening when you start trying to make it a habit. Weaving (编织) a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time. ___16___ One popular idea suggests that it takes 21days to solidify a habit. “A three-week time frame might sound easily reachable to someone making a resolution on New Year’s Day, when people tend to feel extra motivated to start a new habit or kick an old one,” says Colin Camerer, a behavioral economist at the California Institute of Technology who has conducted research on habit formation. ___17___ One survey showed that only nine percent of people actually stuck to their goals in 2023. ___18___ No matter how long it is for any individual, repetition is the key to making it work. Habit formation can range from a few weeks to a couple of months. The “three-week theory” doesn’t really come from habits. It apparently originated from the 1960 self-help book Psycho-Cybernetics, in which plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz observed that it took his patients about 21 days to get used to their new appearance after surgery. ___19___ But the book applied this 21-day timeline to self-transformation in many other wide-ranging aspects of life. For instance, the book also set three weeks as the time needed for people to get used to a new house or change their mind about their beliefs. Even without much solid research, the 21-day theory became widely accepted. ___20___ Establishing a regular exercise habit in just three days seems too quick and unbelievable, for example, and a year seems too long. A. Everyone has a unique habit-building timeline. B. No formal experiment was conducted to check this out. C. How much time is really needed to make that habit stick? D. Habits account for about 40% of our behaviors on any given day. E. Attach a new habit or behavior to something you already do regularly. F. It likely stayed because it seems like such a reasonable amount of time. G Yet every January 21 very few people can say they have kept their resolutions. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。形成习惯所需的时间因人而异，常见说法“21天养成一个习惯”并无实证，但似乎是合理的。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Weaving (编织) a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time.(将这样一项重要的新活动融入你的日常生活显然需要决心和时间)”以及后文“One popular idea suggests that it takes 21days to solidify a habit.(一个流行的观点认为，需要21天来巩固一个习惯)”可知，本句主要针对养成习惯需要多长时间进行提问。故C选项“养成这个习惯到底需要多长时间？”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文““A three-week time frame might sound easily reachable to someone making a resolution on New Year’s Day, when people tend to feel extra motivated to start a new habit or kick an old one,” says Colin Camerer, a behavioral economist at the California Institute of Technology who has conducted research on habit formation.( 加州理工学院的行为经济学家科林·卡默勒对习惯的形成进行了研究，他说：“对于在新年下定决心的人来说，三周的时间框架听起来很容易实现，因为人们往往更有动力开始一个新习惯或改掉旧习惯。”)”可知，上文提到了新年决心，本句说明决心的实现情况。故G选项“然而，每年的1月21日，很少有人能说他们坚持了自己的新年决心”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据下文“No matter how long it is for any individual, repetition is the key to making it work. Habit formation can range from a few weeks to a couple of months.(对于任何一个人来说，无论多长时间，重复都是成功的关键。习惯的形成可能需要几周到几个月的时间)”可知，后文主要说明了人们养成习惯的时间长度不一样，故A选项“每个人都有一个独特的习惯养成时间表”符合语境，故选A。 19题详解】 根据上文“The “three-week theory” doesn’t really come from habits. It apparently originated from the 1960 self-help book Psycho-Cybernetics, in which plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz observed that it took his patients about 21 days to get used to their new appearance after surgery.(“三周理论”并不是真正来自习惯。这一说法显然源于1960年的自助书籍《心理控制论》在这本书中，整形外科医生麦克斯韦尔·马尔茨观察到，他的病人在手术后需要大约21天的时间来适应他们的新外表)”以及后文“But the book applied this 21-day timeline to self-transformation in many other wide-ranging aspects of life. For instance, the book also set three weeks as the time needed for people to get used to a new house or change their mind about their beliefs.(但这本书将这21天时间表应用于生活中许多其他广泛方面的自我转变。例如，这本书还设定了人们需要三周的时间来适应新房子或改变他们对信仰的看法)”可知，后文提到这本书在其他广泛方面的转变，推测本句是在说明麦克斯韦尔·马尔茨观察到的结果是否得到证实的问题。故B选项“没有进行正式的实验来验证这一点”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Even without much solid research, the 21-day theory became widely accepted.(即使没有太多可靠的研究，21天理论也被广泛接受)”以及后文“Establishing a regular exercise habit in just three days seems too quick and unbelievable, for example, and a year seems too long.(例如，在短短三天内养成一个有规律的锻炼习惯似乎太快了，令人难以置信，一年似乎太长了)”可知，上文提到21天理论被广泛接受，后文对此进行举例说明，证实其合理性。故F选项“它可能保留下来，因为它看起来是如此合理的一段时间”符合语境，故选F。 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。 Twelve years ago, Stephen West was putting groceries on shelves at a Safeway warehouse(仓库)in Seattle.

Influenced 40. to study 41. guidance 42. for 43. quitting 44. an 45. actively 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了常沙娜的生平经历以及她在艺术领域的贡献，重点讲述了她与敦煌艺术的深厚渊源。 【36题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：三年后，她前往美国进行深造。根据句意可知，此处表示“进一步的学习”，应用“far”的比较级“further”，“further studies”表示“深造，进修”。故填further。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：1953年，她在中央美术学院任教，之后在中央工艺美术学院任教。根据时间状语“In 1953”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，要用一般过去时。故填taught。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：1943年初，她的母亲带着她和她的小弟弟来到敦煌，当时只有12岁的常沙娜从此就被敦煌艺术的魅力所吸引。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Chang”，指人，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“who”引导。故填who。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：受父亲常书鸿的影响，小常沙娜对绘画产生了兴趣。句中已有谓语动词“developed”，所以“influence”需使用非谓语动词形式，“Chang Shana”与“influence”之间是被动关系，即“常沙娜被父亲影响”，所以用过去分词形式作状语，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Influenced。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她的父亲鼓励她学习法语以及中西方艺术史。“encourage sb. to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to study。 41题详解】 考查名词。句意：冬天，她的父亲还会在绘画技巧方面给她指导。“give sb. sth.”是固定结构，意为“给某人某物”，此处需要用“guide”的名词形式“guidance”作“give”的直接宾语，“guidance”是不可数名词。故填guidance。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：这些活动为她的艺术打下了良好的基础。“lay a foundation for ...”是固定短语，意为“为……打下基础”。故填for。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：1982年，常沙娜担任中央工艺美术学院副院长，1983年成为院长，并于1998年辞职。分析句子结构可知，“and”连接两个并列句，句中的谓语动词分别是“took up”和“became”，而设空处无连词连接，所以应用动词“quit”的非谓语动词形式，此处“quit”的逻辑主语是“she”，二者之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式作状语。故填quitting。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：除了是一名教育工作者，常沙娜还一直积极参与敦煌文化的研究和保护工作。“educator”是可数名词，此处表示泛指“一名教育工作者”，且“educator”发音以元音音素开头。故填an。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：除了是一名教育工作者，常沙娜还一直积极参与敦煌文化的研究和保护工作。“engaged”是形容词，需要用“active”的副词形式来修饰。故填actively。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 假定你是校英文报编辑李华，你校上周日举办了主题为“Say No to Junk Food”的食品安全教育活动，请你写一篇短文报道此次活动。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Say No to Junk Food ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Say No to Junk Food Last Sunday, our school held a food safety education event themed “Say No to Junk Food”.

I, an English teacher at a local high school, had grown accustomed to the comfort of cycling nine miles each day, my wheels tracking a familiar path along the Hudson River’s bike path. The journey always culminated (结束) in a well-deserved lunch break at a cozy Thai restaurant on Greenwich Avenue, where I would secure my trusty bicycle to a pole on Christopher Street, outside a shop filled with handcrafted treasures. On this particular day, the sun shone brightly, casting a golden light over the busy streets. As I locked my bike in its usual spot, the shop’s owner, a kind-eyed gentleman named Mr. Lee, emerged from his doorway with a gentle smile. He approached me with a note of concern, pointing out that my bike’s positioning made it easy to fall towards the busy bus stop, risking damage to its wheel. “Let me show you a better way to lock it,” he said, his voice warm and reassuring (令人放心的). Without hesitation, he rearranged the bike, securing it in a more stable manner. I watched, struck by the thoughtfulness of this stranger who went beyond the call of duty to protect a stranger’s property. Touched by his kindness, I expressed my gratitude to him deeply. “Mr. Lee, I can’t thank you enough for looking out for my bike. It means a lot to me,” I said sincerely. He waved off my thanks with a dismissive hand, but I could see the pride in his eyes. “It’s nothing, really. We all have to look out for each other in this city,” he replied, his smile never disappearing. I decided then and there to repay his kindness in some small way. 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。 The next morning, I arrived at the shop with a bunch of fresh flowers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the days passed, our casual encounter developed into a sincere friendship. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next morning, I arrived at the shop with a bunch of fresh flowers. I hoped to brighten up his day. Mr. Lee’s expression lit up when he saw me standing outside his door, holding the flowers. “For you, Mr. Lee,” I said, handing them over with a smile. “Just a small gift to express my appreciation for your thoughtfulness.” He hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the gift with a smile. “Thank you, dear. These are lovely,” he said, his eyes shining with pleasure. As the days passed, our casual encounter developed into a sincere friendship. I found myself stopping by the shop more often, not just to lock my bike but to chat with Mr. Lee about everything from books to travel adventures. He shared stories of his childhood, while I talked about my students and the joys of teaching. On weekends, I would bring him a home-made meal or invite him to join me for lunch at the Thai restaurant. Our bond grew stronger with each passing day. It was that simple act of kindness that had sparked a beautiful connection between two strangers. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一位在曼哈顿任教的英语老师，每天骑自行车往返，常在一家泰国餐厅旁停靠。某日，餐厅附近店铺的店主Lee先生主动帮忙调整自行车停放位置，以避免被公交站人流碰倒，展现了陌生人之间的善意与关怀。作者深受感动，决定以某种方式回报这份善意。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我带着一束鲜花来到那家店铺。”可知，第一段可描写作者把花送给Lee先生的经过以及他的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着日子一天天过去，我们偶然的相遇逐渐发展成了一段真挚的友谊。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Lee先生之间的友谊不断加深的过程。 2.续写线索：送花——表示感谢——聊天——分享故事——请吃饭——感情与日俱增 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/spot ②表达：express/convey ③拿着：hold/take 情绪类 ①感谢：appreciation/gratitude ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1]Mr. Lee’s expression lit up when he saw me standing outside his door, holding the flowers.（运用了when引导时间状语从句，现在分词作伴随状语） [高分句型2]It was that simple act of kindness that had sparked a beautiful connection between two strangers.（运用了强调句） 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试题 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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。 1.

B Mason Branstrator, a former athlete, suffered a life-changing accident at 17 that left him paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down. Despite the terrible news, he underwent extensive rehabilitation (康复) at Craig Hospital in Colorado, gradually regaining mobility and strength. “The first time I got in a wheelchair in rehabilitation, I felt so free,” he said. “In this really hard situation, you’re given freedom and independence. And I’ve always been so grateful for my wheelchair. And people look at the wheelchair and say, ‘That sucks. It’s awful to be limited to using a wheelchair.’ But this wheelchair doesn’t limit me. It’s actually my freedom.” Mason embraced his new life in a wheelchair. He returned to Minnesota and was later admitted to the University of Denver, near Craig Hospital. Despite the challenges of daily life in a wheelchair, Mason has not let his disability limit him. He operates a specially adapted car, relies on a walker to leave his bed, and moves cautiously on stairs. He actively participates in adaptive sports, including tennis, basketball, swimming, and surfing. Currently, he is training for a marathon using a hand-powered bike and a stationary (固定的) bike. Mason also uses social media to inspire others with physical disabilities. With nearly270,000 followers on Instagram, he shares his everyday life and the methods he uses to overcome barriers. “There were a couple of moments when people reached out to me and said, ‘I used your method to do something and it really changed my life, changed how I interacted with the world and changed my view of this new normal,’” he said. “There have been multiple moments when I realize my dream of helping people has come true and I'm living it out right now.” 4. What happened to Mason at the age of 17? A. He became a successful athlete. B. He lost the ability to move in an accident. C. He graduated from the University of Denver. D. He started using social media to inspire others. 5. How does Mason feel about his wheelchair? A. He wishes he could get rid of it. B. He finds it uncomfortable to use. C. He thinks it restricts his freedom. D. He feels thankful for his wheelchair. 6. What does the underlined word “sucks” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Disappoints. B. Depends. C. Inspires. D. Amazes. 7. What life lesson can we get from Mason’s story? A. Social media is the key to success. B. Disability is a barrier to freedom and independence. C. Life is full of setbacks and there’s no point in trying. D. Determination and adaptation can overcome challenges. C When my son was a little kid, he liked to run in our driveway until he fell. He would then turn to me to see if he was hurt. If my face showed worry, he would cry. If I maintained peace, he would brush himself off and get back to running. Learning that I could so powerfully influence his mental state was a revelation. One night while doing homework, my son told me about a classmate who had been unkind to him. My first instinct (本能) was to rush to fix it — email the parents, call the school, and demand action. But instead of reacting, I paused. “That sounds hard. What did you do?” “Dad, I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I’m going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” “That’s a great solution,” I said, and he went back to his homework. These otherwise ordinary parenting moments made me realize a truth: Sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents over-functioning — depriving (剥夺) their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and tiring themselves in the process. We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering, and it can be painful to watch them struggle. A parent’s first instinct is often to remove barriers from their child’s path. This urge has led to pop-culture mythology (神话) around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any barrier in their child’s way. A young person who grows accustomed to having a parent intervene on his behalf begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own, feeding both anxiety and dependence. I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent. A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey. Yes, parenting can be stressful. But when we trust our children to explore the world — with us as steady and supportive guides — we lighten our own load and help them grow healthily. 8. How did the author’s son react when he fell? A. He would always cry for his father. B. He would get up with his father’s help. C. He would rise quickly and continue running. D. It depended on his father’s facial expression. 9. What did the author’s son decide to do when a classmate was unkind to him? A. Face the classmate bravely. B. Tell the classmate’s parents. C. Avoid the classmate and play soccer. D. Ignore the issue and do his homework. 10. Why does the author mention his work experience in schools? A. To define a concept. B. To support his argument. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To provide the background. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Trusting Children Is of Importance B. Putting Pressure on Kids Is Necessary C. Lighthouse Parents Benefit Kids’ Growth D. Over-Functioning Parents Do Harm to Kids D Tiny external structures in the wax (蜡) coating of blueberries give them their blue color, researchers at the University of Bristol can reveal. In the study, published in Science Advances, researchers show why blueberries are blue despite the dark red color of the pigments (色素) in the fruit skin. Their blue color is instead provided by a layer of wax that surrounds the fruit which is made up of small structures that can spread blue and UV light over a wide area. This gives blueberries their blue appearance to humans and blue-UV to birds. Rox Middleton, Research Fellow at Bristol's School of Biological Sciences, explained, “The blue of blueberries can't be obtained by pressing firmly — because it isn't located in the pigmented juice that can be pressed out of the fruit. So we removed the wax and re-crystallized (重新结晶) it on card and in doing so we were able to create a brand new blue-UV coating.” The ultra-thin colorant (超薄着色剂) is around two microns thick, and although less reflective, it's visibly blue and reflects UV well, possibly paving the way for new colorant methods. “It shows that nature has developed to use a really neat trick, an ultra-thin layer for an important colorant,” added Rox. Most plants are coated in a thin layer of wax which has many functions, many of which scientists still don't understand. They know that it can be very effective as a self-cleaning coating. However, until now, researchers did not know how important the structure was for visible coloration. Now the team plan to look at easier ways of recreating the coating and applying it. This could lead to a more sustainable and even safe-to-eat UV and blue-reflective paint. Furthermore, these coatings could have the same multiple functions as natural biological ones that protect plants. Rox added, “It was really interesting to find that there was an unknown coloration mechanism right under our noses. It was even more exciting to be able to reproduce that color by harvesting the wax to make a new blue coating that no one has seen before.” 12. Which part of the blueberry is responsible for its blue color? A. The pigment in the fruit skin. B. The juice abstracted from the fruit. C. The wax coating surrounding the fruit. D. The randomly arranged crystal structures. 13. Why did researchers need to remove and re-crystallize the wax? A. To separate different colors. B. To study its important features. C. To understand its appearance better. D. To create a new blue-UV coating. 14. What is the next step for the research team? A. To find more fruits with similar coloration mechanisms. B. To recreate and apply the wax coating in easier ways. C. To study the nutritional benefits of the wax coating. D. To commercialize the wax as a food additive. 15. What is the attitude of researchers towards their discovery? A. Delighted. B. Indifferent. C. Conservative. D. Uncertain. 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。 Waking up in the early morning and going for a run might feel frightening when you start trying to make it a habit. Weaving (编织) a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time. ___16___ One popular idea suggests that it takes 21days to solidify a habit. “A three-week time frame might sound easily reachable to someone making a resolution on New Year’s Day, when people tend to feel extra motivated to start a new habit or kick an old one,” says Colin Camerer, a behavioral economist at the California Institute of Technology who has conducted research on habit formation. ___17___ One survey showed that only nine percent of people actually stuck to their goals in 2023. ___18___ No matter how long it is for any individual, repetition is the key to making it work. Habit formation can range from a few weeks to a couple of months. The “three-week theory” doesn’t really come from habits. It apparently originated from the 1960 self-help book Psycho-Cybernetics, in which plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz observed that it took his patients about 21 days to get used to their new appearance after surgery. ___19___ But the book applied this 21-day timeline to self-transformation in many other wide-ranging aspects of life. For instance, the book also set three weeks as the time needed for people to get used to a new house or change their mind about their beliefs. Even without much solid research, the 21-day theory became widely accepted. ___20___ Establishing a regular exercise habit in just three days seems too quick and unbelievable, for example, and a year seems too long. A. Everyone has a unique habit-building timeline. B. No formal experiment was conducted to check this out. C. How much time is really needed to make that habit stick? D. Habits account for about 40% of our behaviors on any given day. E. Attach a new habit or behavior to something you already do regularly. F. It likely stayed because it seems like such a reasonable amount of time. G. Yet every January 21 very few people can say they have kept their resolutions. 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。 Twelve years ago, Stephen West was putting groceries on shelves at a Safeway warehouse(仓库)in Seattle.

I, an English teacher at a local high school, had grown accustomed to the comfort of cycling nine miles each day, my wheels tracking a familiar path along the Hudson River’s bike path. The journey always culminated (结束) in a well-deserved lunch break at a cozy Thai restaurant on Greenwich Avenue, where I would secure my trusty bicycle to a pole on Christopher Street, outside a shop filled with handcrafted treasures. On this particular day, the sun shone brightly, casting a golden light over the busy streets. As I locked my bike in its usual spot, the shop’s owner, a kind-eyed gentleman named Mr. Lee, emerged from his doorway with a gentle smile. He approached me with a note of concern, pointing out that my bike’s positioning made it easy to fall towards the busy bus stop, risking damage to its wheel. “Let me show you a better way to lock it,” he said, his voice warm and reassuring (令人放心的). Without hesitation, he rearranged the bike, securing it in a more stable manner. I watched, struck by the thoughtfulness of this stranger who went beyond the call of duty to protect a stranger’s property. Touched by his kindness, I expressed my gratitude to him deeply. “Mr. Lee, I can’t thank you enough for looking out for my bike. It means a lot to me,” I said sincerely. He waved off my thanks with a dismissive hand, but I could see the pride in his eyes. “It’s nothing, really. We all have to look out for each other in this city,” he replied, his smile never disappearing. I decided then and there to repay his kindness in some small way. 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。 The next morning, I arrived at the shop with a bunch of fresh flowers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the days passed, our casual encounter developed into a sincere friendship. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
