They’ll even make their way into a jam-packed freezer.(这些袋子功能多样，使用方便，非常适合准备餐食、零食和储存剩菜。它们甚至可以放进一个堆满东西的冰箱里)”可知，这些可重复使用的袋子的特点是多功能性，即用途广泛。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Tired of giving gifts that end up collecting dust on the shelf? These thoroughly practical presents are guaranteed to please everyone on your shopping list.(厌倦了送那些最终在架子上积灰的礼物了吗？这些非常实用的礼物一定会让你购物清单上的每个人都满意)”可知，这些礼物的共同点是它们都强调实用性和可用性。故选B。 B Terns (燕鸥) chirping and wolves howling are among a pioneering composition that integrates sounds from nature with traditional instruments. Bird songs and animal calls will interact with orchestral music on an album by Stewart Copeland. Wild Concerto, released on 18 April, is a “cooperation between nature and music”. A croaking frog, a black-footed albatross (信天翁), and a red deer will “perform” with Copeland, alongside 30musicians from the Kingdom Orchestra. Copeland said none of the natural recordings had been manipulated or returned. “All the bird and animal sounds are exactly as they were, but I put them in positions so that they add up to a melody and rhythm,” he said. “Their voices bring an super authenticity to the music. They all have their own individual melodies but when you put an instrument in, everything is more amazing.” Wild Concerto is inspired by the arctic tern’s migration from pole to pole, and creatures possibly encountered along the way. Copeland said there was a conservationist theme to the work. “Many of these species are endangered and their sounds could vanish in our lifetime. Through the Wild Concerto, their voices will be kept immortalized.” For six decades, he has captured sounds of the natural world, from rain-forests to deserts — recordings heard in natural history series such as Our Oceans and Blue Planet as well as about 150films. With a document of almost 100,000 recordings he has been called “the David Attenborough of sound”. Copeland is a brilliant talent. He’s combined natural sounds and music seamlessly. This is another way for people to listen to nature. He hopes the album will raise people’s awareness of creatures whose sounds cannot be clearly captured due to noise pollution: “Two-thirds of the species in my library are now basically extinct. Twenty-five or 30 years ago, when I wanted to record one hour of primitive sound, it took about three or four hours to do that with minimal editing, compared to 2,000 recording hours today, because there are so many man-made sounds in the environment...” 4. What is the feature of the album Wild Concerto? A. Integrating natural sounds with music perfectly. B. Mixing bird songs with animal calls completely. C. Producing super realistic bird songs and animal calls. D. Making successful changes to bird songs and animal calls. 5. What does the underlined word “manipulated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Monitored. B. Analyzed. C. Matched. D. Edited. 6. What do we know about Copeland? A. He was optimistic and hopeful about the wildlife situation. B. He was indifferent and helpless about the noise pollution. C. He expressed his great concern about the endangered species. D. He demonstrated enormous passion about the success of the concert. 7. What does the author think of Copeland’s efforts? A. Time-consuming and fruitless. B. Notable and remarkable. C. Efficient and innovative. D. Meaningless and conventional. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述Stewart Copeland将自然界的声音与传统乐器相结合的先锋作品Wild Concerto。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bird songs and animal calls will interact with orchestral music on an album by Stewart Copeland.(在Stewart Copeland的专辑中，鸟鸣和动物叫声将与管弦乐互动)”和第二段中“Wild Concerto, released on 18 April, is a ‘cooperation between nature and music’.(4月18日发行的Wild Concerto是‘自然与音乐的合作’)”可知，专辑Wild Concerto特点是将自然的声音与音乐完美相结合，故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“All the bird and animal sounds are exactly as they were(所有的鸟和动物的声音都和原来一模一样)”可知，所有的鸟和动物的声音都和原来一模一样，所以没有任何自然声音被剪辑，manipulated意为“剪辑”，故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Copeland said there was a conservationist theme to the work. ‘Many of these species are endangered and their sounds could vanish in our lifetime. Through the Wild Concerto, their voices will be kept immortalized.’(Copeland说，这个作品的主题是环保主义。‘这些物种中有许多濒临灭绝，它们的声音可能在我们的有生之年消失。通过Wild Concerto，它们的声音将永垂不朽。’)”可知，Copeland的作品主题是环保主义，记录了可能会消失的濒危物种的声音，推知Copeland表达了对濒危物种的担忧，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For six decades, he has captured sounds of the natural world, from rain-forests to deserts — recordings heard in natural history series such as Our Oceans and Blue Planet as well as about 150 films. With a document of almost 100,000 recordings he has been called ‘the David Attenborough of sound’. Copeland is a brilliant talent. He’s combined natural sounds and music seamlessly. This is another way for people to listen to nature.(60年来，他一直在捕捉自然世界的声音，从雨林到沙漠，这些录音在《我们的海洋》和《蓝色星球》等自然历史系列节目以及大约150部电影中都能听到。他拥有近10万份录音文件，被称为‘声音界的David Attenborough’。Copeland是个才华横溢的天才。他把自然的声音和音乐无缝地结合在一起。这是人们聆听自然的另一种方式)”可知，作者提到Copeland捕捉了很多自然界的声音，认为Copeland的专辑是人们聆听自然的另一种方式，推知作者认为Copeland的努力重要、有非凡意义。故选B。 C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 8. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 9. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 10. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods. (我们的研究是首次通过这两种检测方法来证明这些益处的。)”可知，这两种检测方法均可以证明益处，即它们得出了一致的结论。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. (他们使用老年抑郁量表（GDS）在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知，研究人员在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，是通过前后对比来进行研究的。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression, (我们发现，SCG的BOLD（血氧水平依赖性）信号在跳舞时会减弱，这意味着SCG的功能不如抑郁症患者运行得那么快)”可知，跳舞会让SCG的运行速度放缓。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，跳舞可以降低与帕金森氏症相关的抑郁，其益处通过多种方式看出。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果，所以“跳舞远离帕金森氏症的忧郁”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D Old buildings tend to be regarded as throwaways and suitable for being torn down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings. Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do—more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”. Aged communities, which have developed and changed organically over an extended period, possess unique cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building “green” can be about preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies. The building materials and craftsmanship (工艺) are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development. As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization (使用) of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings. As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention. 12. How do most people deal with old buildings? A. They treat them lightly. B. They treasure them heartily. C. They explore them fully. D. They restore them actively. 13 Why does the author mention his little river cottage in Paragraph 3? A. To explain the complexity of building houses. B. To demonstrate the shortage of building materials. C. To display the attachment to the old constructions. D. To highlight the virtue of keeping old constructions. 14. What do the data in Paragraph 4 imply about old buildings? A. They are more efficient than the new buildings. B. They can help avoid more environmental pollution. C. They can clear away the bad effects on farms nearby. D. They consumed less energy in the construction process. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Culture values lie in green buildings. B. Old buildings are environment-friendly. C. Old constructions should be given priority. D. Building craftsmanship should be respected. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了旧建筑具有“绿色”价值，强调保留和利用旧建筑、社区的必要性，呼吁人们重视现存建筑。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Old buildings tend to be regarded as throwaways and suitable for being torn down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings.(旧建筑往往被视为废弃物，适合被拆除。大多数人尚未充分认识到与维护现有建筑相关的“绿色”价值)”可知，大多数人轻视旧建筑，随意对待它们。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The building materials and craftsmanship (工艺) are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.(建筑材料和工艺也应该得到尊重，这不仅仅是因为它们的提取、运输和生产的环境成本，而是因为其中一些材料和相关的工艺将不复存在的现实。我在西弗吉尼亚州的小河边小屋，是用栗子树灭绝之前那个时期的栗子木建造的，这种材料可能再也无法获得了。然而，潜在的买家计划把它拆掉，在我看来，这不仅是对材料的不尊重，也违背了可持续发展的理念)”中先提出“建筑材料和工艺应该得到尊重，因为其中一些材料和相关的工艺将不复存在”这一观点，然后以作者自己的小屋为例，说明把它拆除后其材料可能再也无法获得了。由此推知，作者在提到他的小河边小屋是为了强调保留旧建筑的好处和价值，即保留可能再也无法获得的建筑材料和工艺。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization (使用) of pre existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings.(正如保护绿色实验室的报告所示，一座比普通现有建筑效率高30%的新建筑需要10到80年的时间才能克服与建设相关的负面气候变化后果，这强调了持续利用现有建筑和社区的必要性，有效防止或减少为新建设项目而对森林、农场、野生动物栖息地和开放区域的利用)”可知，数据表明，新建筑需要10到80年的时间才能克服与建设相关的负面气候变化后果，所以它们暗示了旧建筑能避免更多因新建筑建设带来的环境污染。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally sound things we can do — more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”.(事实上，保留和利用旧建筑是我们能做的最环保的事情之一——比任何声称是 “绿色”的新建筑的建设都更环保)”和最后一段“As Carl Elefante of Quinn Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention.(正如奎因埃文斯建筑师事务所的卡尔·埃莱凡特所说： “最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑。”希望公众能达成一致意见，即现存的建筑值得更多的关心和关注)”可知，文章主要介绍了旧建筑具有重要价值，应该优先考虑保留和利用旧建筑。故选C项。 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。 Growing up, I found the word Saturday almost equaled cleaning in my family. As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was assigned a chore. ____16____ Exceptions were made of course, but the older we grew, the more my parents expected us to balance these responsibilities. Chores were part of my family’s way of functioning. We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age. ____17____ When I was a kid, I knew when doing chores I was helping my family. It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. ____18____ Being assigned chores communicates that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof. Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. ____19____ I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories. ____20____ Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids’ role, not to mention practicing discipline, time management, and selflessness. All these consequences would seem to tip the scales (天平) in favor of chores. A. It made sense to us, as much as we disliked it. B. They also create a sense of belonging within a family. C. Household chores were a source of great stress for us. D. Actually, doing chores alongside my family can make them a joy. E. Allowing children to share burdens helps them recognize their strengths. F. It also comes as no surprise that chores are important for personal growth. G. We had to complete our assigned chores before school assignments on that day. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，文章主要讲述了作者小时候在家被分配家务活，随着年龄增长对家务活的认识不断深入，意识到家务活不仅是任务清单，还能增强家庭凝聚力、带来乐趣，并且对个人成长很重要。 【16题详解】 根据上文“As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was assigned a chore. (一旦孩子们学会使用抹布，他或她就会被分配一项家务。)“可知，上文提到孩子们学会使用抹布后就会被分配家务，选项应该是接着说孩子们被分配家务后的完成情况。G选项“我们必须在做家庭作业之前完成分配的家务活。”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age. (我们抱怨，试图避免，但我们从来没有问过我们为什么要这样做。作为一个家庭，我们都有责任保持家庭的平稳运行，随着年龄的增长，责任也在增加。)”可知，虽然大家不喜欢做家务，但做家务在维持家庭正常运转方面也是一种责任，因此做家务是有意义的。A 选项“尽管我们很不喜欢做家务，但这对我们来说是有意义的。”能够承接上文，表达了虽然不喜欢但也认可做家务的意义，符合语境，故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. (直到我成年后，我才意识到家务不仅仅是一系列的任务。)“以及下文“Being assigned chores communicates that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof. (被分配家务表明每个家庭成员都是被需要的，而且他们的行为或不作为会影响到住在同一屋檐下的每一个人。)”可知，此处应是说明家务在家庭方面的意义。B选项“它们也在家庭中创造了一种归属感。”符合语境，进一步阐述了家务在家庭中所起到的作用，与上下文内容相符，故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. (处理日常家务从来都不容易，但出于对家人的爱去做这些家务，就会让家务变得可以应对。)”以及下文“I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories. (每当父母需要帮助时，我都很乐意帮忙。在一起做家务的过程中，我们有机会进行有意义的对话，分享经历，并留下美好的回忆。)”可知，此处应是表达和家人一起做家务是一种乐趣。D选项“实际上，和家人一起做家务可以让它们成为一种乐趣。”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用，既承接了上文因为对家人的爱使做家务变得可以应对，又引出了下文和家人一起做家务的乐趣，故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids’ role, not to mention practicing discipline, time management, and selflessness. All these consequences would seem to tip the scales (天平) in favor of chores. (家务意味着学习如何管理责任，理解孩子的角色，更不用说培养自律、时间管理和无私精神了。所有这些结果似乎都倾向于支持做家务。)”可知，此处应是强调做家务对个人成长的重要性。F选项“家务对个人成长很重要，这一点也不足为奇。”符合语境，能够引出下文对做家务在个人成长方面意义的阐述，故选F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。 When I was in third grade, my family and I took on an unforgettable trip across the country.

But today I had to clean Mrs. Thompson’s garage first. She was weakened by old age, so my mom always volunteered me to help her. Mom wouldn’t let me accept any money, and I never minded — after all, Mrs. Thompson had knitted me five sweaters and always made me cakes. Most importantly, it was the right thing to do. Steve came and decided to help. We instantly got to work. The garage was a mess of boxes, but we gathered all our energy and soon brought the cleanup to an end. When arranging the last box, however, I nudged (肘部碰) the shelf accidentally. Before I could react, a vase fell and crashed to the ground, broken into pieces. I froze, my heart pounding. The vase was beautiful with delicate designs, which must have cost a fortune. Glancing at the open garage door, I suggested, “Maybe I can just sweep this up. Mrs. Thompson won’t even notice.” I responded fast and piled the pieces into the trash bin. But Steve’s expression darkened. “That’s not how it works. You should tell her what happened.” I argued that it wasn’t my responsibility to pay for something I didn’t destroy on purpose. However, Steve wasn’t buying it, his voice firm. “You’re better than that. Be responsible.” We stood there in silence, the weight of the moment hanging between us. Just then, Mrs. Thompson walked in, giving us a scare. She smiled warmly, unaware of the whole thing. “Boys, I baked a chocolate cake. Now come in for a piece. I really appreciate all your help.” 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。 Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake. “Could it be for me?” I wondered. Mrs. Thompson read my thoughts, “Your mom mentioned you’re training for the baseball team, so I prepared this for you. Open it!” I unwrapped the box and a brand-new baseball glove was in sight! Immense guilt grew when I recalled all she had done for me. Steve’s words also struck me, urging me to admit the mistake. Gathering all my courage, I said in a low voice, “Mrs. Thompson, I need to tell you something. When we were cleaning the garage, I accidentally knocked over a shelf, and your beautiful vase broke. I’m so sorry. I should have been more careful.” Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up. However, instead of disappointment, she just laughed. “Oh, that old vase was just a cheap thing I picked up at a one-dollar store. It is far less precious than your help and honesty. Don’t worry about it. Let’s enjoy the cake!” I felt a sense of relief wash over me, mixed with a newfound understanding of the importance of honesty and responsibility. It wasn’t about avoiding punishment; it was about being true to myself and others. From that day on, whether it was on the baseball field or in any other aspect of my life, I carried this lesson with me, always striving to be a person of integrity (诚实正直). 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述暑假开始，“我”和 Steve 计划练棒球争取加入新生队，妈妈承诺“我”若成功就送新棒球手套。当天“我”要先帮年迈的 Mrs. Thompson 清理车库，Steve 来帮忙，清理时“我”不小心打碎了一个看似昂贵的花瓶，“我”想隐瞒，Steve 却坚持要“我”承担责任，这时Mrs. Thompson邀请我们吃蛋糕。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们犹豫着走进房间，我注意到蛋糕旁边的桌子上有一个礼品盒。”可知，第一段可描写“我”从猜测礼物是否给自己，到Mrs. Thompson揭晓答案，“我”看到新手套后因之前想隐瞒打碎花瓶之事而感到愧疚，最终鼓起勇气承认错误。 ②由第二段首句内容“说完这些，我紧张地等着Mrs. Thompson开口。”可知，第二段可描写Mrs. Thompson 的反应，她表明花瓶不贵，更看重“我”的诚实和帮助，让“我”感悟到诚实和责任的重要性。 2.续写线索：看到礼物盒猜测 ——Mrs. Thompson 说明是新手套 —— 因愧疚承认打碎花瓶 ——Mrs. Thompson 表示不在意并强调诚实重要 ——“我”的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①猜测：wonder /guess ②拆开：unwrap /open ③承认：admit /confess 心理类： ①愧疚：guilt /compunction ②宽慰：relief /comfort 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Immense guilt grew when I recalled all she had done for me.（运用了 when 引导的时间状语从句以及省略 that 的定语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】When we were cleaning the garage, I accidentally knocked over a shelf, and your beautiful vase broke.（运用了 when引导的时间状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南宁二中·2025年5月高三冲刺考 英语 (考试时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2.选择题必须使用2B 铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 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?

B Terns (燕鸥) chirping and wolves howling are among a pioneering composition that integrates sounds from nature with traditional instruments. Bird songs and animal calls will interact with orchestral music on an album by Stewart Copeland. Wild Concerto, released on 18 April, is a “cooperation between nature and music”. A croaking frog, a black-footed albatross (信天翁), and a red deer will “perform” with Copeland, alongside 30musicians from the Kingdom Orchestra. Copeland said none of the natural recordings had been manipulated or returned. “All the bird and animal sounds are exactly as they were, but I put them in positions so that they add up to a melody and rhythm,” he said. “Their voices bring an super authenticity to the music. They all have their own individual melodies but when you put an instrument in, everything is more amazing.” Wild Concerto is inspired by the arctic tern’s migration from pole to pole and creatures possibly encountered along the way. Copeland said there was a conservationist theme to the work. “Many of these species are endangered and their sounds could vanish in our lifetime. Through the Wild Concerto, their voices will be kept immortalized.” For six decades, he has captured sounds of the natural world, from rain-forests to deserts — recordings heard in natural history series such as Our Oceans and Blue Planet as well as about 150films. With a document of almost 100,000 recordings he has been called “the David Attenborough of sound”. Copeland is a brilliant talent. He’s combined natural sounds and music seamlessly. This is another way for people to listen to nature. He hopes the album will raise people’s awareness of creatures whose sounds cannot be clearly captured due to noise pollution: “Two-thirds of the species in my library are now basically extinct. Twenty-five or 30 years ago, when I wanted to record one hour of primitive sound, it took about three or four hours to do that with minimal editing, compared to 2,000 recording hours today, because there are so many man-made sounds in the environment...” 4. What is the feature of the album Wild Concerto? A. Integrating natural sounds with music perfectly. B. Mixing bird songs with animal calls completely. C. Producing super realistic bird songs and animal calls. D. Making successful changes to bird songs and animal calls. 5. What does the underlined word “manipulated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Monitored. B. Analyzed. C. Matched. D. Edited. 6. What do we know about Copeland? A. He was optimistic and hopeful about the wildlife situation. B. He was indifferent and helpless about the noise pollution. C. He expressed his great concern about the endangered species. D. He demonstrated enormous passion about the success of the concert. 7. What does the author think of Copeland’s efforts? A. Time-consuming and fruitless. B. Notable and remarkable. C. Efficient and innovative. D. Meaningless and conventional. C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 8. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 9. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 10. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 11 What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B.

Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings. Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do—more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”. Aged communities, which have developed and changed organically over an extended period, possess unique cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building “green” can be about preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies. The building materials and craftsmanship (工艺) are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development. As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization (使用) of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings. As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention. 12. How do most people deal with old buildings? A. They treat them lightly. B. They treasure them heartily. C. They explore them fully. D. They restore them actively. 13. Why does the author mention his little river cottage in Paragraph 3? A. To explain the complexity of building houses. B. To demonstrate the shortage of building materials. C. To display the attachment to the old constructions. D. To highlight the virtue of keeping old constructions. 14. What do the data in Paragraph 4 imply about old buildings? A. They are more efficient than the new buildings. B. They can help avoid more environmental pollution. C. They can clear away the bad effects on farms nearby. D. They consumed less energy in the construction process. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Culture values lie in green buildings. B. Old buildings are environment-friendly. C. Old constructions should be given priority. D. Building craftsmanship should be respected. 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。 Growing up, I found the word Saturday almost equaled cleaning in my family.

But today I had to clean Mrs. Thompson’s garage first. She was weakened by old age, so my mom always volunteered me to help her. Mom wouldn’t let me accept any money, and I never minded — after all, Mrs. Thompson had knitted me five sweaters and always made me cakes. Most importantly, it was the right thing to do. Steve came and decided to help. We instantly got to work. The garage was a mess of boxes, but we gathered all our energy and soon brought the cleanup to an end. When arranging the last box, however, I nudged (肘部碰) the shelf accidentally. Before I could react, a vase fell and crashed to the ground, broken into pieces. I froze, my heart pounding. The vase was beautiful with delicate designs, which must have cost a fortune. Glancing at the open garage door, I suggested, “Maybe I can just sweep this up. Mrs. Thompson won’t even notice.” I responded fast and piled the pieces into the trash bin. But Steve’s expression darkened. “That’s not how it works. You should tell her what happened.” I argued that it wasn’t my responsibility to pay for something I didn’t destroy on purpose. However, Steve wasn’t buying it, his voice firm. “You’re better than that. Be responsible.” We stood there in silence, the weight of the moment hanging between us. Just then, Mrs. Thompson walked in, giving us a scare. She smiled warmly, unaware of the whole thing. “Boys, I baked a chocolate cake. Now come in for a piece. I really appreciate all your help.” 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。 Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
