But I must admit that sometimes you seem more grown-up than me. W: That’s because girls develop differently from boys. We mature faster in some ways. M: Really? How? W: Our brains develop at a different speed. A girl’s brain usually matures fully by around 22, while a boy’s might not be fully developed until about 25. M: That’s three more years. What difference does it make? W: A lot The part of the brain that controls decisions and emotions develops earlier in girls. That’s why we often think things through more. M: So, when you’re my age, you’ll be even more sensible than me? W: Maybe. But everyone’s different. Some boys mature faster and some girls take longer. It’s just that, on average, girls develop sooner. M: I see. W: But don’t worry — I’m sure you’ll catch up eventually. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

As we speed towards our high school graduation, many still ask the same question: What should I do with my life? You’ve likely already considered factors like salary and your skills. This has helped you narrow down your options. Instead of just thinking about our own goals, we should be asking ourselves another important question: What contribution do I want to make to the world? In today’s world, the idea of a “helping” career has grown far beyond the traditional roles of doctors, teachers, and social workers. Thanks to technological advancements, it’s now possible to have a meaningful influence on many different fields. For example, app developers can create tools to support mental health or improve education. Scientists help protect the planet by studying climate change. I’m personally attracted to the growing field of AI and information security, where experts are greatly needed. A career that helps others is not only good for the world, but it can also bring you long-term satisfaction and pride. So don’t forget to consider this aspect as you make the important decisions that will shape your future. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits The Exhibition When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles, France, he befriended his neighbor and postman Joseph Roulin, along with his wife and three children.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了关于“梵高：鲁林家族肖像画”展览的相关信息，包括展览内容、时间、门票等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture.(本次展览展出约二十幅相关作品，展现了他在肖像画领域极具前瞻性的创作手法)”可知，这次展览展示了梵高画的鲁林一家的约二十幅肖像，展示了他独特的前瞻性肖像画技巧。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ticket Information中的“Adults $34.00 || Youths 7–17 $17.00 || Youths 0–6 Free”可知，一对夫妇（2 位成人）需支付34×2=68美元，两个孩子中14岁（青少年）需支付17美元，4岁（免费）无需付费，总计68+17=85 美元。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ticket Information中的“Entry times are 30 minutes; visitors must enter the exhibition within that 30-minute window.(入场时间为 30 分钟；参观者必须在该 30 分钟时间段内进入展览)”可知，参观者需在指定的入场时间段内进入。故选A项。 B Lorraine Caley, who founded her mushroom-growing company Caley Brothers in 2018, will be showcasing her oyster mushrooms at the exhibition hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society after more and more people expressed an interest in growing fungi. She and her sister, Jodie Bryan, started growing mushrooms at home as they could not find the more special varieties in their local supermarket. “We physically couldn’t get the mushrooms we wanted to eat. We changed our diet because our dad was unwell. We wanted to expand from the button mushroom,” says Caley. “We’d seen this stuff online and started growing it for ourselves. But we had so much demand that people’s curiosity forced us to start making our own kits. We also supplied fresh mushrooms to anyone who wanted their own kits to grow them at home. It’s been phenomenal. The direction it’s taken us in is far beyond anything we ever imagined.” The sisters use coffee grounds as a substrate (培养基) and grow fungi (真菌) from wood. Fungi add interest to a garden and benefit the soil. “You can take your kit and put it in the garden where it will then get you more nutrients for your soil,” said Caley. “We’ve installed an outside mushroom bed, and nine different mushrooms can be grown in seven different mediums. We were trying to encourage people with space outside to go outside, but you can also put a couple of logs on your balcony. Or if you’ve got a small flat, you can grow in your kitchen as well.” Taking soil health into consideration is also in vogue, and fungi are crucial for this. Under the ground, the fungi create a living network called a mycelium. It improves the soil by breaking down natural waste and moving it into the earth, making it richer. It also attracts worms, which loosen the soil and support its biodiversity. 24. Why did the Caley sisters start growing mushrooms? A. They were inspired by a Royal Society gardening course. B. They wanted to improve their father’s health through diet. C. They wished to support their family by selling mushrooms. D. They hoped to add new vegetables to the local supermarket. 25. What boosted the Caley sisters’ mushroom business growth? A. Public interest in home-growing. B. A rise in demand for healthy foods. C. The shortage of existing farming land. D. The success of the mushroom exhibition. 26. What can be inferred about mushroom growing from paragraph 4? A. It demands rich soil and daily care. B. It needs professional gardening tools. C. It suits people with limited living space. D. It depends on regular sunlight exposure. 27. How do fungi improve soil quality? A. By absorbing pollutants from rainwater. B. By generating oxygen during their growth. C. By killing off all the harmful bacteria in the soil. D. By decomposing organic matter to release nutrients. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Caley姐妹创办蘑菇种植公司的缘由，公众对在家种植蘑菇的兴趣推动了其业务发展，还介绍了蘑菇种植的方式及真菌对土壤的益处。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She and her sister, Jodie Bryan, started growing mushrooms at home as they could not find the more special varieties in their local supermarket. ‘We physically couldn’t get the mushrooms we wanted to eat. We changed our diet because our dad was unwell. We wanted to expand from the button mushroom,’ says Caley.(她和她的妹妹乔迪·布莱恩开始在家种植蘑菇，因为她们在当地超市找不到更特别的品种。“我们实际上买不到想吃的蘑菇。因为我们的父亲身体不好，我们改变了饮食。我们想从平菇扩展到其他品种，”凯莉说)”可知，Caley姐妹开始种植蘑菇是因为她们想通过饮食改善父亲的健康。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We’d seen this stuff online and started growing it for ourselves. But we had so much demand that people’s curiosity forced us to start making our own kits. We also supplied fresh mushrooms to anyone who wanted their own kits to grow them at home. It’s been phenomenal. The direction it’s taken us in is far beyond anything we ever imagined.(我们在网上看到了这些东西，然后开始自己种植。但需求太大了，人们的好奇心迫使我们开始制作自己的套装。我们还为任何想要自己的套装在家种植蘑菇的人提供新鲜蘑菇。这太惊人了。它把我们带向的方向远远超出了我们的想象)”可知，公众对在家种植蘑菇的兴趣推动了Caley姐妹蘑菇业务的增长。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“We were trying to encourage people with space outside to go outside, but you can also put a couple of logs on your balcony. Or if you’ve got a small flat, you can grow in your kitchen as well.(我们试图鼓励有户外空间的人到户外去，但你也可以在阳台上放几根原木。或者如果你住在小公寓里，你也可以在厨房里种植)”可知，蘑菇种植也可以在阳台上、在小公寓里、在厨房里进行，说明它也适合居住空间有限的人。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Under the ground, the fungi create a living network called a mycelium. It improves the soil by breaking down natural waste and moving it into the earth, making it richer.(在地下，真菌形成了一个叫做菌丝体的生命网络。它通过分解自然废物并将其转移到土壤中，使土壤更肥沃，从而改善土壤)”可知，真菌通过分解有机物释放养分来改善土壤质量。故选D项。 C One day in 1996, someone ate a McDonald’s McChicken burger in Amsterdam. Perhaps a quick bite after work? A family outing? These details are lost to time, but others are hard to erase completely. The meal left a permanent mark on the local environment when a Eurasian coot (白冠鸡) found the discarded McChicken wrapper and decided to use it to line its nest, where it remained. “It really shows that it’s not just us humans who are writing history, but also these birds are taking notes and documenting our throwaway society,” said the nest biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra, who has been researching the influence of the Anthropocene era on birds’ nests in Amsterdam’s canals. When investigating nests in the canals, he found a variety of old packaging discarded from the early 1990s up to last year. The Eurasian coot only started migrating to Amsterdam in the late 1980s, and Hiemstra’s findings of packaging from 1994 could show the entire lifespan and heritage of the species in the area. While a bird’s nest is usually made from twigs (细枝) and moss, the abundance of plastics has been helpful for birds in the city where natural items are in short supply. Hiemstra said there would likely be a return of natural nests if people focused on re-greening cities and bringing natural water vegetation back, but in the meantime, the birds were successfully working with what they had. “For the coots, our litter is not a waste product but something very valuable. Finding these materials that were littered 30 years ago, yet they look as fresh as they were just littered yesterday, really gave me the chills. I really hope we can learn something from the birds to re-evaluate how we think about our materials. These plastics are a wonderful material, yet we use them for single use and throw them away,” Hiemstra said. 28. What does the McChicken wrapper in the coot’s nest indicate? A. The durability of fast-food packaging. B. Birds’ preference for colorful materials. C. The long-lasting impact of litter on animals. D. Birds’ adaptation to a worsening environment. 29. Which of the following best describes the birds in Amsterdam? A. Pioneering nest builders. B. Witnesses to urbanization. C. Victims of plastic pollution. D. Resourceful waste recyclers. 30. What do the coots remind people to do according to Hiemstra? A. Clear up the canals. B. Protect bird habitats. C. Reuse plastics wisely. D. Expand green space. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic Waste: A Hidden Threat to Birds B. Bird Nests: A Mirror of Throwaway Culture C. Eurasian Coots: A Creative Architect in Nature D. Man-made Items: A Silent Driver of Nest Changes 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了阿姆斯特丹的白冠鸡利用人类丢弃的塑料垃圾筑巢的现象，揭示了人类“一次性文化”对鸟类的影响，并呼吁重新评估塑料的使用方式。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The meal left a permanent mark on the local environment when a Eurasian coot found the discarded McChicken wrapper and decided to use it to line its nest, where it remained.(当一只白冠鸡发现被丢弃的麦香鸡包装纸并决定用它来筑巢时，这顿饭给当地环境留下了永久的印记，包装纸至今仍在巢中。)”及第五段中的“Finding these materials that were littered 30 years ago, yet they look as fresh as they were just littered yesterday, really gave me the chills. (发现这些 30 年前被丢弃的材料，却看起来像昨天刚被丢弃一样新鲜，这真的让我不寒而栗。)”可知，包装纸在巢中长久留存，表明人类丢弃的垃圾对动物和环境产生了长期影响，由此可知，白冠鸡巢中的麦香鸡包装纸暗示了垃圾对动物的持久影响。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While a bird’s nest is usually made from twigs (细枝) and moss, the abundance of plastics has been helpful for birds in the city where natural items are in short supply. Hiemstra said there would likely be a return of natural nests if people focused on re-greening cities and bringing natural water vegetation back, but in the meantime, the birds were successfully working with what they had.(虽然鸟巢通常由细枝和苔藓筑成，但在天然材料匮乏的城市里，大量的塑料反而帮了鸟类的忙。海姆斯特拉表示，如果人们致力于让城市重新绿化并恢复天然水生植被，天然鸟巢可能会重新出现，但在此期间，鸟类正成功地利用现有材料筑巢。)”及第五段中的“For the coots, our litter is not a waste product but something very valuable.(对白冠鸡来说，我们的垃圾不是废品，而是非常有价值的东西。)”可知，阿姆斯特丹的鸟类将人类丢弃的塑料视为可用资源，巧妙地用于筑巢，展现出利用废弃物的能力，由此可知，最能描述阿姆斯特丹鸟类的是“足智多谋的废物回收者”。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中希姆斯特的表述“I really hope we can learn something from the birds to re-evaluate how we think about our materials. These plastics are a wonderful material, yet we use them for single use and throw them away.(我真心希望我们能从鸟类身上学到一些东西，重新评估我们对材料的看法。这些塑料是很好的材料，但我们只使用一次就扔掉了。)”可知，他认为人类应借鉴鸟类对塑料的“再利用”方式，重新审视塑料的价值，避免一次性使用，由此可知，白冠鸡提醒人们要明智地重复利用塑料。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇以白冠鸡用麦当劳包装纸筑巢为例，随后指出生物学家Hiemstra在研究中发现，从20世纪90年代初到去年，鸟类巢穴中存在各种人类丢弃的包装。文中强调，鸟类将人类随手丢弃的垃圾用于筑巢，这些巢穴留存着人类丢弃文化的痕迹，就像一面镜子映照出人类一次性消费的生活方式，因此“Bird Nests: A Mirror of Throwaway Culture(鸟巢：一次性文化的镜子)”精准概括了文章核心，能体现鸟巢与人类丢弃文化的关联，最适合作为标题。故选B项。 D I’m in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notifications. While the meeting is important, I’m distracted and want to pick up the phone to find out more. Is it a new job announcement from a friend? Something terrible has happened? Every second I’m not sending a message, I’m being a bad friend. I become anxious, and I’m praying the meeting ends sooner. It is the emotional rollercoaster ride of being a modern group chat member, and I’m not alone in these feelings. Research conducted by Three found 50% of British adults struggle to keep up with the speed of these virtual conversations and feel pressured. But why exactly does this occur? “When I’m busy and see a ton of messages coming through, I get stressed that I’m missing something big,” says Jasmine, 31. “Not participating in a group chat can also be overwhelming because then you’ve got loads to catch up on and it’s turned from reading just one or two messages to a short story.” Besides being overwhelming, there’s a lack of real connection, too. “Group chats can make us feel like we’re surrounded by people, yet still somehow on the outside,” says psychotherapist Abby Rawlinson. “If everyone is chatting and you’re not part of the flow — or your message gets no replies — it can awaken the quiet ache of invisibility.” For Madhura, 31, this has felt particularly exasperating at times. “I find messaging in group chats can make you feel like you’re not quite on the same page. Group chats can turn friendly jokes into hurtful messages. A group chat may be used to gossip about a friend who’s not there. Leaving a group chat can also feel like you’re creating an opportunity for those who are left to gossip about you,” Madhura says. “Texting is such a ‘thin’ form of communication. In person, you have tone of voice, facial expressions, and eye contact — all the rich human signals that help us interpret meaning. On a screen, you just get the words themselves,” Rawlinson explains. “So don’t fall into a pit of self-criticism when a message goes without a reply. Group chats can’t truly measure your friendships. They’re just a tool to stay connected.” 32. What is becoming a common phenomenon? A. Group chats block in-depth talks. B. Group chats break up friendships. C. Group chats bring negative emotions. D. Group chats disturb the work-life balance. 33. What mainly troubles Jasmine about group chats? A. Privacy concerns. B. Information overload. C. Sense of isolation. D. Fear of misunderstanding. 34. What does the underlined word “exasperating” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Annoying. B. Frightening. C. Inspiring. D. Amusing. 35. What does Rawlinson suggest people do? A. Reduce group chat usage. B. Learn new communication skills. C. Treat group chats properly. D. Focus on face-to-face conversations. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了群聊在人际关系互动中会给人们带来复杂的负面情绪。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Research conducted by Three found 50% of British adults struggle to keep up with the speed of these virtual conversations and feel pressured.(Three公司进行的一项研究发现，50%的英国成年人难以跟上这些虚拟对话的速度，并感到压力)”以及后文描述的群聊带来的焦虑、不知所措、被孤立等负面情绪可推知，群聊带来负面情绪正成为一种普遍现象。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““When I’m busy and see a ton of messages coming through, I get stressed that I’m missing something big,” says Jasmine, 31. “Not participating in a group chat can also be overwhelming because then you’ve got loads to catch up on and it’s turned from reading just one or two messages to a short story.(31岁的Jasmine说：“当我忙得不可开交，却看到一大堆消息涌进来时，我就会感到压力山大，生怕自己错过了什么重要的事情。而且，不参与群聊也会让我感到不知所措，因为等我再去看的时候，就有海量的消息要补上，原本只是读一两条消息，结果却像在读一篇短篇小说一样。”)”可知，Jasmine关于群聊的主要困扰是信息过载。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中““I find messaging in group chats can make you feel like you’re not quite on the same page. Group chats can turn friendly jokes into hurtful messages. A group chat may be used to gossip about a friend who’s not there. Leaving a group chat can also feel like you’re creating an opportunity for those who are left to gossip about you,” Madhura says.(Madhura说：“我发现在群聊里发消息会让你觉得大家好像并不在同一频道上。群聊有时会把友好的玩笑变成伤人的话。人们还可能利用群聊来八卦一个不在场的朋友。而且，离开群聊可能会让你觉得，自己是在给剩下的人创造机会来八卦自己。”)”可知，Madhura认为群聊有时候会让人特别恼火，即画线词意思是“令人恼火的”。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So don’t fall into a pit of self-criticism when a message goes without a reply. Group chats can’t truly measure your friendships.

His hands-on experience at the Bi Sheng Memorial Hall brought to life the ingenuity of the Song Dynasty inventor. Bi Sheng’s clay-type system, which predated (早于) German printer Johannes Gutenberg’s metal press ____57____ 400 years, ____58____ (recognize) as the earliest recorded movable type printing in human history. Thousands of miles away in Mainz, Germany, visitors to the Gutenberg Museum have also encountered a similar sense of historic ____59____ (innovate). While Gutenberg’s 15th-century metal type printing press famously ____60____ (revolutionize) Europe, Ulf Sölter, director of Mainz’s Gutenberg Museum, acknowledges an ____61____ (early) pioneer. “Bi and Gutenberg’s inventions were conceptually similar — namely, breaking down individual works into their individual components — but Bi came up with ____62____ idea long before Gutenberg,” said Sölter. For Schrodt, who spent an afternoon learning from Wang Kui — an intangible cultural inheritor of Bi’s movable type printing — such preservation is extremely ____63____ (value). “Technological advancements can lead to a degradation (退化) of collective knowledge,” Schrodt noted. “Wang’s dedication to ____64____ (preserve) Bi’s legacy serves a crucial purpose: ensuring that humanity does not reach a point ____65____ we possess the technology for interstellar travel but cannot rebuild it once lost, simply because no one knows how.” 【答案】56. recreating 57. by 58. was recognized 59. innovation 60. revolutionized 61. earlier 62. the 63. valuable 64. preserving 65. where 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了德国学者法比安·施罗德在中国英山县体验毕昇活字印刷术的经历，对比了毕昇与古腾堡印刷术的异同，以及对这一古老技艺传承的意义。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国中部英山县的一个工作坊里，德国学者法比安·施罗德小心翼翼地将纸张压在涂墨的黏土块上，重现了中国古代11世纪的一项发明——毕昇的活字印刷术。本句已有谓语“pressed”，设空处为非谓语动词。设空处在句中作伴随状语，动词“recreate”与其逻辑主语“Fabian Schrodt”之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。故填recreating。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意：毕昇的泥字印刷系统比德国印刷商约翰内斯·古腾堡的金属印刷机早400年，被公认为人类历史上最早有记录的活字印刷术。“predate...by+时间”为固定搭配，表示“比……早多长时间”，故填by。 【58题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：毕昇的泥字印刷系统比德国印刷商约翰内斯·古腾堡的金属印刷机早400年，被公认为人类历史上最早有记录的活字印刷术。主语Bi Sheng’s clay-type system与谓语动词recognize为被动关系，且描述过去的历史事实，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数。故填was recognized。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：在数千英里外的德国美因茨，参观古腾堡博物馆的游客也感受到了类似的历史创新感。形容词historic后接名词，innovate的名词形式为innovation意为“创新”，此处表抽象概念，用单数，作宾语。故填innovation。 【60题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：尽管古腾堡15 世纪的金属活字印刷机闻名遐迩，彻底革新了欧洲，但美因茨古腾堡博物馆馆长乌尔夫・索尔特承认，存在一位更早的先驱。根据主语“Gutenberg’s 15th-century metal type printing press”可知，此处描述过去发生的事，谓语动词revolutionize用一般过去时。故填revolutionized。 【61题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：尽管古腾堡15 世纪的金属活字印刷机闻名遐迩，彻底革新了欧洲，但美因茨古腾堡博物馆馆长乌尔夫・索尔特承认，存在一位更早的先驱。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词pioneer，根据语境，毕昇比古腾堡更早，用early的比较级earlier。故填earlier。 【62题详解】 考查冠词。句意：索尔特说：“毕（昇）和古腾堡的发明在概念上相似 —— 即把独立的作品分解成单个组件 —— 但毕（昇）远比古腾堡早提出这一想法。”结合语境可知，此处特指“分解个体作品为单个组件”的想法，用定冠词the表特指。故填the。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：对施罗德特来说，在向毕昇活字印刷的非物质文化传承人王魁（音译）学习了一个下午后，这种传承工作极具价值。系动词is后接形容词作表语，value的形容词形式为valuable意为“有价值的”符合句意。故填valuable。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：王（魁）致力于保护毕昇的遗产，这有着至关重要的意义：它确保人类不会陷入这样的境地 —— 我们拥有星际旅行的技术，但若一旦失传却无法重建，仅仅因为无人知晓如何操作。固定搭配“dedication to doing sth.”中，to为介词，后接动名词形式。故填preserving。 【65题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：王（魁）致力于保护毕昇的遗产，这有着至关重要的意义：它确保人类不会陷入这样的境地 —— 我们拥有星际旅行的技术，但若一旦失传却无法重建，仅仅因为无人知晓如何操作。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为point，表抽象地点，关系词替代先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where。 第四部分 书面表达(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是某国际学校学生会主席李华。为了丰富校园文化生活，学校计划在图书馆旁设立一个“心灵驿站”(Mind Oasis)，供师生休息放松。请你写一篇短文投稿至校英文报，内容包括： 1. 介绍你的设计方案； 2. 说明设计理由。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Mind Oasis: A Tranquil Retreat on Campus ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mind Oasis: A Tranquil Retreat on Campus I’m excited to share my design for the upcoming Mind Oasis near our library.

During the week, I would go to school, but at the weekends, I played basketball. Playing with friends at the local park became our Saturday tradition. We met every Saturday morning, and though we started as a small group, our laughter and cheers soon drew curious glances from passersby. But not everyone was interested. Some kids rolled their eyes, complaining about us “taking up the court,” and a few even walked away when we invited them to play. Still, the idea of expanding our games stuck with me, and slowly, a few more faces started showing up. As word spread, more students came. Not all of them stayed — some left after realizing they weren’t as good as they thought, and others got bored when the competition wasn’t serious enough. But for those who stayed, it became special. The park bench filled up, and the court buzzed with energy. We divided into teams, with naturals like Mark and newcomers like Alex. Alex was a quiet, slightly overweight guy with a shy smile. Even though he hesitated a lot, he still wanted to play. I remember Mark snickering (窃笑), “You sure about this?” Alex nodded, with hesitation in his eyes. The games grew more intense as more players joined, and the competition heated up. But what truly stood out was the sense of camaraderie (友爱) — at least, most of the time. Alex struggled, out of breath, missing passes. Once, after a rough play, he walked off, embarrassed. I thought he might quit. But he returned. I paired him with a friend of mine who was more patient. His progress was slow — there were some improvements, then some setbacks. Despite this, Alex kept showing up over the following months. He wasn’t the best player, but he wasn’t the worst anymore. Paragraph one: One Saturday, as the sun rose higher in the sky, the game reached its climax. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: After that game, the atmosphere at the park was different. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One Saturday, as the sun rose higher in the sky, the game reached its climax. In a tied match with seconds left, Alex got the ball — hesitation flickering in his eyes before determination took over. Instead of passing, he charged forward, face flushed but focused. As he jumped and shot, time froze. The ball arced clumsily, hit the rim, and then dropped through the net. The park erupted in cheers. Alex stood stunned, then smiled in pure, disbelieving joy. Alex’s practice partner rushed over, grinning from ear to ear, and bear-hugged him, shouting, “Nice one, man!” Even Mark, who had once doubted him, let out an approving whistle. After that game, the atmosphere at the park was different. Alex had proved himself, his newfound confidence replacing his old hesitation. The teasing stopped, replaced by real respect as he became just another teammate. I felt proud, knowing it wasn’t just about basketball anymore — it was about how we supported each other. Our weekend games had become something bigger: a place where friendships grew, confidence was built, and even former self-doubters found a sense of belonging. Alex’s journey showed what perseverance and community could do. Walking home, I smiled, knowing that these games would keep bringing us together, Saturday after Saturday. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者在Willowbrook小镇长大，周末常和朋友在公园打篮球，队伍逐渐壮大。内向的Alex加入后历经挫折，在作者安排的队友帮助下，虽进步缓慢但坚持着，不再是最差的球员。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“一个周六，太阳在空中升起得越来越高，比赛达到了高潮。”可知，第一段可以描写Alex在比赛中的紧张和决心，他在关键时刻的心理斗争，以及他最终选择独自冲锋并成功得分的瞬间。 ②由第二段句首内容“比赛之后，公园里的氛围发生了变化。”可知，第二段可以描写Alex在比赛后获得的尊重和认可，他与队友之间的互动，以及作者对这些变化的感受和思考，最后升华文章的主旨：团队支持和坚持可以带来成长和归属感。 2.续写线索：比赛的关键时刻——Alex的心理斗争——成功得分的瞬间——比赛后的氛围变化——Alex获得的尊重和认可——团队支持和坚持的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 拿到球：get the ball/hold the ball/obtain the ball ② 向前冲：charge forward/rush forward/dash ahead ③ 投篮：shoot/make a shot 情绪类 ① 犹豫：hesitation/faltering/indecision ② 坚定：determination/resoluteness/steadfastness 【点睛】【高分句型1】As he jumped and shot, time froze.

Van Gogh went on to paint several vibrant and expressive portraits of the Roulin family. This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture. Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits also reveals the significance of Van Gogh’s close friendship with Joseph Roulin amidst his arrival in a new town and struggles with mental health. The Roulin portraits appear alongside other works — including Japanese prints and Paul Gauguin paintings — that helped shape Van Gogh’s work during this period.

B Lorraine Caley, who founded her mushroom-growing company Caley Brothers in 2018, will be showcasing her oyster mushrooms at the exhibition hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society after more and more people expressed an interest in growing fungi. She and her sister, Jodie Bryan, started growing mushrooms at home as they could not find the more special varieties in their local supermarket. “We physically couldn’t get the mushrooms we wanted to eat. We changed our diet because our dad was unwell. We wanted to expand from the button mushroom,” says Caley. “We’d seen this stuff online and started growing it for ourselves. But we had so much demand that people’s curiosity forced us to start making our own kits. We also supplied fresh mushrooms to anyone who wanted their own kits to grow them at home. It’s been phenomenal. The direction it’s taken us in is far beyond anything we ever imagined.” The sisters use coffee grounds as a substrate (培养基) and grow fungi (真菌) from wood. Fungi add interest to a garden and benefit the soil. “You can take your kit and put it in the garden where it will then get you more nutrients for your soil,” said Caley. “We’ve installed an outside mushroom bed, and nine different mushrooms can be grown in seven different mediums. We were trying to encourage people with space outside to go outside, but you can also put a couple of logs on your balcony. Or if you’ve got a small flat, you can grow in your kitchen as well.” Taking soil health into consideration is also in vogue, and fungi are crucial for this. Under the ground, the fungi create a living network called a mycelium. It improves the soil by breaking down natural waste and moving it into the earth, making it richer. It also attracts worms, which loosen the soil and support its biodiversity. 24. Why did the Caley sisters start growing mushrooms? A. They were inspired by a Royal Society gardening course. B. They wanted to improve their father’s health through diet. C. They wished to support their family by selling mushrooms. D. They hoped to add new vegetables to the local supermarket. 25. What boosted the Caley sisters’ mushroom business growth? A. Public interest in home-growing. B. A rise in demand for healthy foods. C. The shortage of existing farming land. D. The success of the mushroom exhibition. 26. What can be inferred about mushroom growing from paragraph 4? A. It demands rich soil and daily care. B. It needs professional gardening tools. C. It suits people with limited living space. D. It depends on regular sunlight exposure. 27. How do fungi improve soil quality? A. By absorbing pollutants from rainwater. B. By generating oxygen during their growth. C. By killing off all the harmful bacteria in the soil. D. By decomposing organic matter to release nutrients. C One day in 1996, someone ate a McDonald’s McChicken burger in Amsterdam. Perhaps a quick bite after work? A family outing? These details are lost to time, but others are hard to erase completely. The meal left a permanent mark on the local environment when a Eurasian coot (白冠鸡) found the discarded McChicken wrapper and decided to use it to line its nest, where it remained. “It really shows that it’s not just us humans who are writing history, but also these birds are taking notes and documenting our throwaway society,” said the nest biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra, who has been researching the influence of the Anthropocene era on birds’ nests in Amsterdam’s canals. When investigating nests in the canals, he found a variety of old packaging discarded from the early 1990s up to last year. The Eurasian coot only started migrating to Amsterdam in the late 1980s, and Hiemstra’s findings of packaging from 1994 could show the entire lifespan and heritage of the species in the area. While a bird’s nest is usually made from twigs (细枝) and moss, the abundance of plastics has been helpful for birds in the city where natural items are in short supply. Hiemstra said there would likely be a return of natural nests if people focused on re-greening cities and bringing natural water vegetation back, but in the meantime, the birds were successfully working with what they had. “For the coots, our litter is not a waste product but something very valuable. Finding these materials that were littered 30 years ago, yet they look as fresh as they were just littered yesterday, really gave me the chills. I really hope we can learn something from the birds to re-evaluate how we think about our materials. These plastics are a wonderful material, yet we use them for single use and throw them away,” Hiemstra said. 28. What does the McChicken wrapper in the coot’s nest indicate? A. The durability of fast-food packaging. B. Birds’ preference for colorful materials. C. The long-lasting impact of litter on animals. D. Birds’ adaptation to a worsening environment. 29. Which of the following best describes the birds in Amsterdam? A. Pioneering nest builders. B. Witnesses to urbanization. C. Victims of plastic pollution. D. Resourceful waste recyclers. 30. What do the coots remind people to do according to Hiemstra? A. Clear up the canals. B. Protect bird habitats. C. Reuse plastics wisely. D. Expand green space. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic Waste: A Hidden Threat to Birds B. Bird Nests: A Mirror of Throwaway Culture C. Eurasian Coots: A Creative Architect in Nature D. Man-made Items: A Silent Driver of Nest Changes D I’m in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notifications. While the meeting is important, I’m distracted and want to pick up the phone to find out more. Is it a new job announcement from a friend? Something terrible has happened? Every second I’m not sending a message, I’m being a bad friend. I become anxious, and I’m praying the meeting ends sooner. It is the emotional rollercoaster ride of being a modern group chat member, and I’m not alone in these feelings. Research conducted by Three found 50% of British adults struggle to keep up with the speed of these virtual conversations and feel pressured. But why exactly does this occur? “When I’m busy and see a ton of messages coming through, I get stressed that I’m missing something big,” says Jasmine, 31. “Not participating in a group chat can also be overwhelming because then you’ve got loads to catch up on and it’s turned from reading just one or two messages to a short story.” Besides being overwhelming, there’s a lack of real connection, too. “Group chats can make us feel like we’re surrounded by people, yet still somehow on the outside,” says psychotherapist Abby Rawlinson. “If everyone is chatting and you’re not part of the flow — or your message gets no replies — it can awaken the quiet ache of invisibility.” For Madhura, 31, this has felt particularly exasperating at times. “I find messaging in group chats can make you feel like you’re not quite on the same page. Group chats can turn friendly jokes into hurtful messages. A group chat may be used to gossip about a friend who’s not there. Leaving a group chat can also feel like you’re creating an opportunity for those who are left to gossip about you,” Madhura says. “Texting is such a ‘thin’ form of communication. In person, you have tone of voice, facial expressions, and eye contact — all the rich human signals that help us interpret meaning. On a screen, you just get the words themselves,” Rawlinson explains. “So don’t fall into a pit of self-criticism when a message goes without a reply. Group chats can’t truly measure your friendships. They’re just a tool to stay connected.” 32. What is becoming a common phenomenon? A. Group chats block in-depth talks. B. Group chats break up friendships. C. Group chats bring negative emotions. D. Group chats disturb the work-life balance. 33. What mainly troubles Jasmine about group chats? A. Privacy concerns. B. Information overload. C. Sense of isolation. D. Fear of misunderstanding. 34. What does the underlined word “exasperating” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Annoying. B. Frightening. C. Inspiring. D. Amusing. 35. What does Rawlinson suggest people do? A. Reduce group chat usage. B. Learn new communication skills. C. Treat group chats properly. D. Focus on face-to-face conversations. 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。 China’s inbound (入境的) tourism market saw strong recovery and growth during the just-concluded May Day holiday. ____36____ China has been opening its doors wider to international travelers.

During the week, I would go to school, but at the weekends, I played basketball. Playing with friends at the local park became our Saturday tradition. We met every Saturday morning, and though we started as a small group, our laughter and cheers soon drew curious glances from passersby. But not everyone was interested. Some kids rolled their eyes, complaining about us “taking up the court,” and a few even walked away when we invited them to play. Still, the idea of expanding our games stuck with me, and slowly, a few more faces started showing up. As word spread more students came. Not all of them stayed — some left after realizing they weren’t as good as they thought, and others got bored when the competition wasn’t serious enough. But for those who stayed, it became special. The park bench filled up, and the court buzzed with energy. We divided into teams, with naturals like Mark and newcomers like Alex. Alex was a quiet, slightly overweight guy with a shy smile. Even though he hesitated a lot, he still wanted to play. I remember Mark snickering (窃笑), “You sure about this?” Alex nodded, with hesitation in his eyes. The games grew more intense as more players joined, and the competition heated up. But what truly stood out was the sense of camaraderie (友爱) — at least, most of the time. Alex struggled, out of breath, missing passes. Once, after a rough play, he walked off, embarrassed. I thought he might quit. But he returned. I paired him with a friend of mine who was more patient. His progress was slow — there were some improvements, then some setbacks. Despite this, Alex kept showing up over the following months. He wasn’t the best player, but he wasn’t the worst anymore. Paragraph one: One Saturday, as the sun rose higher in the sky, the game reached its climax. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: After that game the atmosphere at the park was different. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语听力模拟试题第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I've decided to turn the empty space in front of our house into a garden.

As we speak towards our high school graduation, many still ask the same question, what should I do with my life? You've likely already considered factors like salary and your skills. This has helped you narrow down your options instead of just thinking about our own goals, we should be asking ourselves another important question, what contribution do I want to make to the world? In today's world, the idea of a helping career has drawn far beyond the traditional roles of doctors, teachers and social workers. Thanks to technological advancements, it's now possible to have a meaningful influence on many different fields. For example, APP developers can create tools to support mental health or improve education. Scientists help protect the planet by studying climate change. I'm personally attracted to the growing field of AI and information security, where experts are greatly needed. A career that helps others is not only good for the world, but you can also bring your long term satisfaction and pride, so don't forget to consider this aspect as you make the important decisions that will shape your future.
