C 【解析】 【原文】W: When I heard college staff were required for a learning exchange trip to Ørestad Gymnasium in Copenhagen, I was quick to sign up. I’d heard great things about this innovative school and wanted to see it for myself. Upon arrival, after the students had been paired up with their exchange partners, I was introduced to Anna, the Spanish teacher who would be hosting me. She gave me a tour and I soon understood what makes the school so different. Firstly, there are no classrooms. Instead, the huge open space is divided up into four large “study zones”, each on a separate level and connected by stairs. Each study zone is separated by bookshelves to create smaller “group areas”. The few more traditional classrooms, mainly science labs, have glass walls to maintain the open feel. The idea is to create a sense of togetherness and develop the students’ independent learning abilities. Learning here is entirely digital, and learning materials can be acquired online at any time. Study schedules are flexible, and teachers act mostly as coaches, leaving students responsible for their own learning. With 1,100 16- to 19-year-olds “running wild”, I expected school days to be noisy. Instead, I was extremely amazed to discover a quiet, focused atmosphere. Giving students adult responsibility seems to help them learn good habits and prepare them for the real world. 第二部分 阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Tomorrowland is set to transport festivalgoers to a magical new universe in 2025 with its latest theme, “Orbyz”.

As the owner of Cuddle Up to Me in Portland, the Certified Cuddler has been at the forefront of the professional cuddling movement since it began. The goal of her service is to provide people a safe space to feel worthy for exactly who they are. Hess came across an article about a man giving away free hugs at a Saturday market. It hit her that she longed for an unconditional hug — and that others likely felt the same. She decided that everyone deserved a place to go when these moments strike, where they can feel like they matter. When asked who is her client, she says who is not her client would be quicker to answer! Touch is a human need. She has moms who don’t know how to take from the families they are always giving to, those in need of self-care who have disabilities or deadly diseases and so much more. She customizes each meeting to individual needs. Some people will talk only about novelty things, while others will tell her their deepest secrets. It’s nice for people to know that everything they say is held in the strictest of confidences. Hess has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of both parties. She starts by obtaining a copy of each person’s ID, and they fill out a body map and questionnaire. She asks questions to ensure they know why each person is seeking the service to determine if they are appropriate for what she offers, and she also has a third party who monitors security footage (镜头) during all meetings. “I would never get tired of cuddling!” she said. It’s an unusual job, she knows, one that allows her to spread acceptance and form connections with people who may not otherwise have a close support system. 24. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Highlight some memorable moments. B. Explain the conditions for free hugs. C. Illustrate the purpose of Hess’s service. D. Introduce the inspiration for Hess’s business. 25. What can we know about Hess’s clients? A. Their social position is valued. B. They cover wide-ranging groups. C. Their demands are hard to meet. D. They possess self-confident quality. 26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Questions inquired. B. Parties involved. C. Security measures. D. Consulting procedures. 27. Which of the following best describes Hess? A. Patient and humorous. B. Ambitious and creative. C. Considerate and skilled. D. Generous and responsible. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了专业拥抱师Samantha Hess通过定制化服务为多样化客户提供情感支持，并严格保障安全，传递接纳与联结。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Hess came across an article about a man giving away free hugs at a Saturday market. It hit her that she longed for an unconditional hug — and that others likely felt the same. She decided that everyone deserved a place to go when these moments strike, where they can feel like they matter. (Hess偶然看到一篇文章，讲的是一个男人在周六的集市上给人免费拥抱。她突然意识到自己渴望得到一个无条件的拥抱——其他人可能也有同样的感受。她认为当这些时刻到来时，每个人都应该有一个地方去，在那里他们可以感受到自己的重要性)”可知，该段描述了Hess创业是受一篇关于免费拥抱的文章启发，因此作者是为了介绍其业务的灵感来源。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She has moms who don’t know how to take from the families they are always giving to, those in need of self-care who have disabilities or deadly diseases and so much more. (她的客户包括那些总是为家庭付出却不知如何获得关爱的母亲们，那些身患残疾或绝症需要自我关爱的人士，以及其他形形色色的群体)”可知，Hess的客户覆盖了从母亲到残障人士等群体，范围广泛。故选B项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Hess has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of both parties. She starts by obtaining a copy of each person’s ID, and they fill out a body map and questionnaire. She asks questions to ensure they know why each person is seeking the service to determine if they are appropriate for what she offers, and she also has a third party who monitors security footage (镜头) during all meetings. (Hess采取了一系列严格措施来确保双方的安全。首先，她会留存每位客户的身份证明复印件，并要求他们填写身体接触界限表和问卷。通过详细询问，她会确认客户寻求这项服务的具体原因，以判断是否适合接受她的服务。此外，所有会面期间都有第三方全程监控安保录像)”可知，该段介绍了Hess采取身份证明存档、身体接触界限表和问卷填写、服务原因问询、第三方监控等措施来保护客户的隐私，即她采取的安全措施。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She customizes each meeting to individual needs. Some people will talk only about novelty things, while others will tell her their deepest secrets. It’s nice for people to know that everything they say is held in the strictest of confidences. (她会根据每个人的具体需求定制每次会面。有些人可能只想聊些新鲜趣事，而另一些人则会向她倾诉内心最深的秘密。让人安心的是，他们知道在这里说的每句话都将受到最严格的保密)”可知，Hess为每个客户定制服务，并为之保密，说明她是体贴的；再根据第一段中“As the owner of Cuddle Up to Me in Portland, the Certified Cuddler has been at the forefront of the professional cuddling movement since it began. (作为波特兰“拥抱我吧”的经营者，这位持证拥抱师自专业拥抱服务兴起之初就一直处于该运动的最前沿)”和第四段中“Hess has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of both parties. (Hess采取了一系列严格措施来确保双方的安全)”可知，Hess具有专业资质，采取安全管控措施，说明她是专业熟练的。故选C项。 C The United Arab Emirates, 80% desert with only 0.7% farming land, struggles with food supply. Unsurprisingly, the oil-rich nation has offered opportunities to companies aiming to change those statistics, as it attempts to find its way toward food supply. HyveGeo, launching a project with Cambridge, is the latest startup that has found a way to turn the desert green while turning a profit too. Using agricultural waste and algae (藻类), the company is creating a mixture designed to boost tree planting projects and food production. And through growing algae, it says it can remove climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process. The main substance for HyveGeo’s mixture is biochar, a carbon-rich material made by burning organic materials in a low-oxygen environment. HyveGeo is sourcing its organic material from local farms and agricultural waste, and processing it at a pilot site in Abu Dhabi. To date, the site has produced 200 tons of biochar, preventing 800 tons of waste from going to landfill. Biochar itself is fantastic, but if you stick it in desert sand, it doesn’t do that much. HyveGeo has applied algae to their solution. It puts algae through a “bio-processing concept” to get bioactive extracts (提取物), which can be added to biochar to promote plant growth. The company claims to speed up soil creation from years to less than a month. Trials with tomatoes show promising results: plants are larger and can withstand higher temperatures, indicating the growing medium helps resist climate stress. Partnering with UAE agricultural authorities, HyveGeo aims to grow crops such as wheat, rice, and vegetables locally. Expert Dr. Marcella acknowledges their comprehensive soil-improvement strategy but warns of soil regeneration’s complexity and unknown irrigation (灌溉) needs. Producing enough algae to meet demand and making HyveGeo’s model commercially practicable are just two challenges it faces. HyveGeo will announce its next round of venture capital funding. “Climate is a long-term thing,” added Welch, HyveGeo chief operations officer. “If we can do our bit to solve the challenge, that’s a wonderful thing.” 28. What can HyveGeo’s project do according to paragraph 2? A. Achieve double goals. B. Enhance food safety. C. Reduce agricultural waste. D. Popularize farming methods. 29. How does HyveGeo make biochar function better? A. By adding it to desert sand. B. By simplifying its processing. C. By changing its carbon content. D. By mixing it with algae extracts. 30. What’s Dr. Marcella’s attitude towards the soil creation strategy? A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 31. What is implied about the project in the last paragraph? A. It is well received. B. It is highly profitable. C. It needs financial support. D. It resolves climate challenge. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了阿联酋因沙漠广布面临粮食供应问题，HyveGeo公司利用农业废弃物和藻类改良土壤，试种番茄成果显著，但仍面临挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using agricultural waste and algae (藻类), the company is creating a mixture designed to boost tree planting projects and food production. And through growing algae, it says it can remove climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process.(该公司利用农业废弃物和藻类，制造出一种混合物，旨在促进植树项目和粮食生产。并且通过藻类的生长，该公司表示能够在此过程中从大气中去除导致气候变暖的二氧化碳)”可知，HyveGeo 的项目能够实现双重目标。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“HyveGeo has applied algae to their solution. It puts algae through a “bio-processing concept” to get bioactive extracts (提取物), which can be added to biochar to promote plant growth. The company claims to speed up soil creation from years to less than a month.(海维吉奥公司已将藻类应用于其解决方案中。该公司通过一种“生物处理理念”对藻类进行处理，以提取出具有生物活性的提取物，这些提取物可以添加到生物炭中，以促进植物生长。该公司声称，能够将土壤的形成时间从数年缩短至不到一个月)”可知，海维吉奥通过将其与藻类提取物混合让生物炭发挥出更好效果。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Expert Dr. Marcella acknowledges their comprehensive soil-improvement strategy but warns of soil regeneration’s complexity and unknown irrigation (灌溉) needs.(专家玛塞拉博士认可其全面的土壤改良策略，但也警告称土壤再生过程复杂，且灌溉需求未知)”可知，玛塞拉博士对土壤改良策略持谨慎态度。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Producing enough algae to meet demand and making HyveGeo’s model commercially practicable are just two challenges it faces. HyveGeo will announce its next round of venture capital funding. “Climate is a long-term thing,” added Welch, HyveGeo chief operations officer. “If we can do our bit to solve the challenge, that’s a wonderful thing.”(要生产出足以满足需求的藻类，并使 HyveGeo 的模型具备商业可行性，这只是该公司面临的两个挑战而已。HyveGeo 将公布其下一轮的风险投资融资情况。韦尔奇（HyveGeo 的首席运营官）补充道：“气候问题是一个长期存在的问题。”“如果我们能够尽自己的一份力量来解决这个难题，那将是一件非常美好的事情。”)”可知，该项目需要资金支持。故选C。 D Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complex grammatical processing: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly without delay, says linguist (语言学家) Andrea E. Martin of the Max Planck Institute in the Netherlands. And Martin’s team has now revealed that the human brain adjusts its processing methods based on grammatical rules of different languages. The researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking (说荷兰语的) participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a system measuring how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. It was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study preferred a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase before it was complete. A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language. In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Coopmans says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.” The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when designing linguistic models. “If we only study English speakers, we’ll miss crucial variations in how brains handle different language systems,” Martin warns. “Diversifying subjects in studies of how the brain processes language is going to help us clarify how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social functions of language,” Martin says. 32. How does the human brain process languages? A. By shortening the sentence. B. By concentrating on subjects. C. By relying on language sense. D. By applying rules of grammar. 33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The system. B. The audiobook. C. The brain. D. The sentence. 34. The Dutch predict the meaning of “Tom drew an oil painting.” in Dutch when hearing ________. A. Tom. B. Drew. C. Oil. D. Painting. 35. What can be concluded from Martin’s words in the last paragraph? A. The language structures need improving. B. Samples of research should be expanded. C. The functions of language call for further study. D English speakers account for the largest number. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。短文主要讲述了理解简单句子需要复杂的语法处理，人类大脑能快速完成这项工作，且会根据不同语言的语法规则调整处理方法。研究人员通过观察荷兰语使用者听音频书时脑波变化，发现其偏好高度预测性模型，与英语研究结论不同。荷兰语句子结构特点使听众需更预测性地处理句子，研究支持科学家在设计语言模型时纳入更多多样性，有助于大脑对语言结构和社交功能的理解。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“But the human brain routinely does this work nearly without delay, says linguist (语言学家) Andrea E. Martin of the Max Planck Institute in the Netherlands. And Martin’s team has now revealed that the human brain adjusts its processing methods based on grammatical rules of different languages.(但荷兰马克斯普朗克研究所的语言学家安德里亚·E·马丁说，人类的大脑通常会毫不拖延地完成这项工作。马丁的团队现在已经揭示，人类大脑根据不同语言的语法规则调整其处理方法)”可知，人类大脑通常会几乎毫不拖延地完成理解任务，会根据不同语言的语法规则调整其处理方法。因此可知，大脑通过运用语法规则处理语言。故选D。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文“To visualize these changes, the scientists used a system measuring how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. It was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.(为了可视化这些变化，科学家们使用了一种系统来测量大脑对句子中接下来可能出现的单词做出了多少新的“预测”。然后它进行了三种不同的解析策略或语言模型的测试，这些策略或语言模型说明了大脑如何随着时间的推移构建信息)”可知，it指代前句提到的系统，即对这种系统进行了三种测试。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题题。根据第四段的“In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Coopmans says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.”(该研究的主要作者CasW.Coopmans解释说，在荷兰语的语言结构中，动词出现在句子末尾，而不是像英语那样紧跟在主语之后。例如，荷兰语中的“我吃了一块巧克力饼干”是“我巧克力饼干吃”。库普曼斯说：“你得等很长时间才能等到这个动词。”这可能是不切实际的迟到；你在处理句子时可能更有预测力。”)”可知，动词出现在最后让人们在处理句子时更具预测力。由此推测，荷兰人在听到drew这个动词时预测这句话的意思是“汤姆画了一幅油画”。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第一段“The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when designing linguistic models. “If we only study English speakers, we’ll miss crucial variations in how brains handle different language systems,” Martin warns. “Diversifying subjects in studies of how the brain processes language is going to help us clarify how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social functions of language,” Martin says.(研究结果表明，科学家在设计语言模型时需要考虑更多的多样性。马丁警告说：“如果我们只研究说英语的人，我们就会错过大脑处理不同语言系统的关键变化。”马丁说：“在大脑如何处理语言的研究中，多样化的研究对象将有助于我们弄清大脑是如何理解语言的结构意义以及语言的社会功能的。”)可知，从马丁最后一段的话中可以得出应该扩大研究样本。故选B。 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。 “I’m tone-deaf.” “I’m not really a singer.” When you’re comparing yourself to Whitney Houston, Ariana Grande or Beyoncé, it’s easy to feel that singing is out of reach. ____36____ Singing is the only instrument that people don’t allow themselves to not be good at right away. So give yourself permission to try, and don’t worry about sounding good at first. ____37____ You can complete the shift through learning and practicing. Speak a phrase and start to stretch your voice. Make it a positive expression, for instance, “My voice is strong!” for the extra bonus of hearing some encouragement. As you repeat the phrase, introduce excitement into your speech. ____38____ Practice to hear how high and how low you can go. Start at the top of your range instead of the bottom because if you start at the bottom, you’ll hit that ceiling, and you won’t get past it. The way you breathe is also crucial to finding your singing voice. As you breathe in, feel the air fill your lungs and go all the way to your stomach. This allows your breath to fill your diaphragm, a muscle between your lungs and stomach. ____39____ Then push that air out from your belly (腹部), up out through your lungs, out to an open mouth. You may dream about sounding like your favorite artist, but your voices might just be different. So instead, work in a voice range that suits you. Once you have that awareness, you can start listening for other singers who have that same sound. Just avoid copying simply. Remember, you’re trying to find your voice. Let Beyoncé be Beyoncé. That’s their identity. ____40____ A. It is time to model after them. B. Singing isn’t that far off from speaking. C. And that is the source of your voice power. D. That’ll help you more naturally slide into singing. E. But you don’t have to be a Grammy-award winner. F. However, a good singer demands a natural-born talent. G. It’s important to be able to say, “What do I sound like?” 【答案】36. E 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了普通人学习唱歌的方法，包括放下心理负担、通过说话练习发声、注意呼吸方式以及找到适合自己的音域等。 【36题详解】 根据上文“When you’re comparing yourself to Whitney Houston, Ariana Grande or Beyoncé, it’s easy to feel that singing is out of reach.(当你把自己和惠特妮·休斯顿、爱莉安娜·格兰德或碧昂斯相比时，很容易觉得唱歌是遥不可及的事)”以及下文 “Singing is the only instrument that people don’t allow themselves to not be good at right away. So give yourself permission to try, and don’t worry about sounding good at first. (唱歌是唯一一种人们不允许自己无法立刻擅长的乐器。所以允许自己去尝试，不要担心一开始听起来很好。)”可知，此处需转折强调“不必成为专业歌手”。因此推断E项“但你不必成为格莱美奖得主。”符合语境，衔接上下文中的“专业歌手”与“普通人尝试”。故选E。 【37题详解】 下文“You can complete the shift through learning and practicing. Speak a phrase and start to stretch your voice. (你可以通过学习和练习完成这种转变。说一个短语，开始伸展你的声音。)”提到转变，建议通过“说话”作为练习唱歌的切入点。因此推断B项“唱歌与说话相差不远。”符合语境，直接点明段落主旨，将“唱歌”与“说话”建立关联，为后文“通过说话练习发声”的具体方法提供理论依据，符合段落核心。故选B。 【38题详解】 上文“As you repeat the phrase, introduce excitement into your speech.(当你重复这个短语时，在你的讲话中引入兴奋。)”提出具体动作，下文“Practice to hear how high and how low you can go.( 练习听自己能唱多高多低。)”阐述目标。中间需衔接“动作”与“目标”的因果关系。因此推断D项“这会帮助你更自然地过渡到唱歌”符合语境，其中的That指代前文“加入兴奋感”的动作，“slide into singing”对应后文的“练习音域”的目标，明确“说话练习”对“唱歌”的促进作用，逻辑连贯。故选D。 【39题详解】 上文“As you breathe in, feel the air fill your lungs and go all the way to your stomach. This allows your breath to fill your diaphragm, a muscle between your lungs and stomach.(当你吸气时，感觉空气充满你的肺部，并一直流到你的胃里。这让你的呼吸充满隔膜，隔膜是肺和胃之间的肌肉。)”描述呼吸原理，下文“Then push that air out from your belly (腹部), up out through your lungs, out to an open mouth.(然后将空气从你的腹部排出，通过你的肺部，到达张开的嘴巴。)”说明发声动作。中间需点明“横隔膜呼吸”与“声音力量”的关联。C项“这就是你声音力量的来源。”中的that指代前文的“横隔膜充满空气的呼吸方式”，明确其作为“发声动力来源”的作用，衔接呼吸机制与发声原理。故选C。 【40题详解】 上文“Just avoid copying simply. Remember, you’re trying to find your voice. Let Beyoncé be Beyoncé. That’s their identity.(只是避免复制。记住，你在努力寻找自己的声音。让自己成为碧昂丝。这就是它们的身份。)”强调避免单纯模仿，强调个性化，说明他人特质不可复制”。因此推断G项“重要的是能问自己：“我的声音听起来像什么？"”符合语境，以提问形式引|导读者关注“自我特质”，呼应“寻找自己的声音”的核心观点，总结段落主旨，完成从“避免模仿”到“主动探索自我”的逻辑升华。故选G。 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。 Years ago, Joan Murray, an American bank employee, was testing new skydiving equipment.

Unfortunately不幸地；B. Interestingly有趣地；C. Apparently显然地；D. Undoubtedly无疑地。根据后文“while it opened, Murray was still turning in circles rapidly and so the parachute became twisted, failing as a result”可知，备用降落伞打开后仍因旋转而失效，这是不幸的情况。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在离地面700英尺的高空，她生还的机会几乎为零。A. death死亡；B. arrival到达；C. departure离开；D. survival生存。根据前文“At 700 feet above the ground”和空后“were nearly zero”可知，高空坠落且降落伞失效，所以生还的机会几乎为零。故选D。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，当默里最终撞到地面时，她落在了一群蚂蚁身上。A. hit撞击；B. approached接近；C. swept打扫；D. broke打破。根据空前“while it opened, Murray was still turning in circles rapidly and so the parachute became twisted, failing as a result”以及空后“she ended up landing on a mound (土丘) of ants”可知，高空坠落且降落伞失效，所以此处指撞到地面。故选A。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它们被突然的干扰激怒了，于是攻击了她。A. Inspired鼓舞；B. Angered激怒；C. Convinced使确信；D.

Some salty biscuits and a flavoring box sat innocently nearby. I had never eaten an oyster. I loved seafood, though. I’d never had any seafood or fish that I didn’t like, and I love to try new things. But the sight of that slimy, shapeless thing… Ugh. I just couldn’t do it. My dearest aunt kindly encouraged me to have a try. Cautiously, I stuck one with a tiny fork and lifted it onto the salty biscuit in my left hand. There! That was something at least. I’d put the thing onto a biscuit. I moved the biscuit to my right hand and brought it close to my mouth. It smelled salty. “Do I bite into it or just put the whole thing into my mouth? How do you do this?” I asked. Everyone else was just busy enjoying every mouthful while they jokingly made fun of me for not trying them. I’m not a person who gives in easily. Why was this so hard? The wheels in my head began to turn. The average female in the United States lives approximately seventy-eight years or just over 683,000 hours. And, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Since life is a one-way journey, we should treasure every chance to engage with new experiences. I wasted one of those flying hours trying to prepare myself to try or do something new. Now, having an oyster was a new start. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stared at the biscuit with that oyster in my hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The oyster incident has changed how I view so many things. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I stared at the biscuit with that oyster in my hand. My heart raced, but I took a deep breath, recalling the fleeting nature of time. I did a mental “1… 2… 2½… 2¾… 3!” and popped the whole thing into my mouth. At first, its slimy texture made me wrinkle my nose, but as I chewed, a rich, salty flavor exploded on my taste buds. A mix of surprise and delight washed over me. “Oh, man!” I exclaimed, “It is the most delicious thing that I have ever had.” My aunt and the others cheered, and I realized I had overcome my strange fear. The oyster incident has changed how I view so many things. This time, it was an oyster, but there have been too many times I’ve let that happen in my life — waiting too long to try or do something. And then, once done, it was not terrible but something I really enjoyed so much! What fun I could have had if only I’d been brave enough to try things sooner! When something comes along that pushes me outside my comfort zone and I’m feeling hesitant, I will remember that day. It helps give me the push I need to get out of my shell. When opportunity knocks, now I will say, “Eat the oyster!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者尝试吃牡蛎的经历为线索，讲述作者面对从未吃过的黏滑牡蛎时的犹豫与紧张，在姑姑鼓励和对生命短暂的思考下，最终克服恐惧尝试并爱上牡蛎，这次经历还改变了作者看待事物的方式，让作者明白要勇敢走出舒适区、把握机会的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我手里拿着那块嵌着牡蛎的饼干，怔怔地盯着它。”可知，第一段可描写作者盯着手中的牡蛎饼干，内心挣扎后决定尝试的感受以及最终在姑姑和众人的欢呼中克服了恐惧。 ②由第二段首句内容“那次牡蛎事件改变了我看待很多事物的方式。” 可知，第二段可描写吃牡蛎的事件让作者反思过去因犹豫错过的机会，意识到尝试新事物的乐趣等感悟。 2. 续写线索：盯着牡蛎饼干——内心挣扎后尝试——口感与味觉体验——众人欢呼克服恐惧——事件带来的观念改变——反思过去错过的机会——面对挑战时的激励— 领悟要把握机遇 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①放入口中：pop into one’s mouth /put into one’s mouth ②克服：overcome /conquer ③推断，促使：pushes/drive/force 情绪类： ①惊喜：surprise /amazement ②犹豫：hesitant/doubtful/ uncertain 【点睛】[高分句型1] At first, its slimy texture made me wrinkle my nose, but as I chewed, a rich, salty flavor exploded on my taste buds.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] And then, once done, it was not terrible but something I really enjoyed so much!（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句修饰先行词something） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是2025年5月高3英语试题听力部分。该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?

B Samantha Hess has spent more than 130,000 minutes cuddling (拥抱) over the past four years — and that’s just at work! As the owner of Cuddle Up to Me in Portland, the Certified Cuddler has been at the forefront of the professional cuddling movement since it began. The goal of her service is to provide people a safe space to feel worthy for exactly who they are. Hess came across an article about a man giving away free hugs at a Saturday market. It hit her that she longed for an unconditional hug — and that others likely felt the same. She decided that everyone deserved a place to go when these moments strike, where they can feel like they matter. When asked who is her client, she says who is not her client would be quicker to answer! Touch is a human need. She has moms who don’t know how to take from the families they are always giving to, those in need of self-care who have disabilities or deadly diseases and so much more. She customizes each meeting to individual needs. Some people will talk only about novelty things, while others will tell her their deepest secrets. It’s nice for people to know that everything they say is held in the strictest of confidences. Hess has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of both parties. She starts by obtaining a copy of each person’s ID, and they fill out a body map and questionnaire. She asks questions to ensure they know why each person is seeking the service to determine if they are appropriate for what she offers, and she also has a third party who monitors security footage (镜头) during all meetings. “I would never get tired of cuddling!” she said. It’s an unusual job, she knows, one that allows her to spread acceptance and form connections with people who may not otherwise have a close support system. 24. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Highlight some memorable moments. B. Explain the conditions for free hugs. C. Illustrate the purpose of Hess’s service. D. Introduce the inspiration for Hess’s business. 25. What can we know about Hess’s clients? A. Their social position is valued. B. They cover wide-ranging groups. C. Their demands are hard to meet. D. They possess self-confident quality. 26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Questions inquired. B. Parties involved. C. Security measures. D. Consulting procedures. 27. Which of the following best describes Hess? A. Patient and humorous. B. Ambitious and creative. C. Considerate and skilled. D. Generous and responsible. C The United Arab Emirates, 80% desert with only 0.7% farming land, struggles with food supply. Unsurprisingly, the oil-rich nation has offered opportunities to companies aiming to change those statistics, as it attempts to find its way toward food supply. HyveGeo, launching a project with Cambridge, is the latest startup that has found a way to turn the desert green while turning a profit too. Using agricultural waste and algae (藻类), the company is creating a mixture designed to boost tree planting projects and food production. And through growing algae, it says it can remove climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process. The main substance for HyveGeo’s mixture is biochar, a carbon-rich material made by burning organic materials in a low-oxygen environment. HyveGeo is sourcing its organic material from local farms and agricultural waste, and processing it at a pilot site in Abu Dhabi. To date, the site has produced 200 tons of biochar, preventing 800 tons of waste from going to landfill. Biochar itself is fantastic, but if you stick it in desert sand, it doesn’t do that much. HyveGeo has applied algae to their solution. It puts algae through a “bio-processing concept” to get bioactive extracts (提取物), which can be added to biochar to promote plant growth. The company claims to speed up soil creation from years to less than a month. Trials with tomatoes show promising results: plants are larger and can withstand higher temperatures, indicating the growing medium helps resist climate stress. Partnering with UAE agricultural authorities, HyveGeo aims to grow crops such as wheat, rice, and vegetables locally. Expert Dr. Marcella acknowledges their comprehensive soil-improvement strategy but warns of soil regeneration’s complexity and unknown irrigation (灌溉) needs. Producing enough algae to meet demand and making HyveGeo’s model commercially practicable are just two challenges it faces. HyveGeo will announce its next round of venture capital funding. “Climate is a long-term thing,” added Welch, HyveGeo chief operations officer. “If we can do our bit to solve the challenge, that’s a wonderful thing.” 28. What can HyveGeo’s project do according to paragraph 2? A. Achieve double goals. B. Enhance food safety. C. Reduce agricultural waste. D. Popularize farming methods. 29. How does HyveGeo make biochar function better? A. By adding it to desert sand. B. By simplifying its processing. C. By changing its carbon content. D. By mixing it with algae extracts. 30. What’s Dr. Marcella’s attitude towards the soil creation strategy? A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 31. What is implied about the project in the last paragraph? A. It is well received. B. It is highly profitable. C. It needs financial support. D. It resolves climate challenge. D Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complex grammatical processing: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly without delay, says linguist (语言学家) Andrea E. Martin of the Max Planck Institute in the Netherlands. And Martin’s team has now revealed that the human brain adjusts its processing methods based on grammatical rules of different languages. The researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking (说荷兰语的) participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a system measuring how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. It was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study preferred a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase before it was complete. A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language. In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Coopmans says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.” The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when designing linguistic models. “If we only study English speakers, we’ll miss crucial variations in how brains handle different language systems,” Martin warns. “Diversifying subjects in studies of how the brain processes language is going to help us clarify how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social functions of language,” Martin says. 32. How does the human brain process languages? A. By shortening the sentence. B. By concentrating on subjects. C. By relying on language sense. D. By applying rules of grammar. 33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The system. B. The audiobook. C. The brain. D. The sentence. 34. The Dutch predict the meaning of “Tom drew an oil painting.” in Dutch when hearing ________. A. Tom. B. Drew. C. Oil. D. Painting. 35. What can be concluded from Martin’s words in the last paragraph? A. The language structures need improving. B. Samples of research should be expanded. C. The functions of language call for further study. D. English speakers account for the largest number. 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。 “I’m tone-deaf.” “I’m not really a singer.” When you’re comparing yourself to Whitney Houston, Ariana Grande or Beyoncé, it’s easy to feel that singing is out of reach. ____36____ Singing is the only instrument that people don’t allow themselves to not be good at right away. So give yourself permission to try, and don’t worry about sounding good at first. ____37____ You can complete the shift through learning and practicing. Speak a phrase and start to stretch your voice. Make it a positive expression, for instance, “My voice is strong!” for the extra bonus of hearing some encouragement. As you repeat the phrase, introduce excitement into your speech. ____38____ Practice to hear how high and how low you can go. Start at the top of your range instead of the bottom because if you start at the bottom, you’ll hit that ceiling, and you won’t get past it. The way you breathe is also crucial to finding your singing voice. As you breathe in, feel the air fill your lungs and go all the way to your stomach. This allows your breath to fill your diaphragm, a muscle between your lungs and stomach. ____39____ Then push that air out from your belly (腹部), up out through your lungs, out to an open mouth. You may dream about sounding like your favorite artist, but your voices might just be different. So instead, work in a voice range that suits you. Once you have that awareness, you can start listening for other singers who have that same sound. Just avoid copying simply. Remember, you’re trying to find your voice. Let Beyoncé be Beyoncé. That’s their identity. ____40____ A. It is time to model after them. B. Singing isn’t that far off from speaking. C. And that is the source of your voice power. D. That’ll help you more naturally slide into singing. E. But you don’t have to be a Grammy-award winner. F. However, a good singer demands a natural-born talent. G. It’s important to be able to say, “What do I sound like?” 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。 Years ago, Joan Murray, an American bank employee, was testing new skydiving equipment.

At 700 feet above the ground, her chances of ____45____ were nearly zero. However, when Murray finally ____46____ the ground, she ended up landing on a mound (土丘) of ants. And they weren’t just any ordinary ants, but red ants. ____47____ by the sudden disturbance, they attacked her. Murray was unable to move, remarkably still conscious, trying to ____48____ her breath. She felt a ____49____ sensation on her back. The bites, though painful, kept her alive until the ____50____ arrived. Then, Murray was rushed to Carolina Medical Center, where doctors discovered she had ____51____ several broken bones and missing teeth. They performed reconstructive operations on her. However, it was the ants’ ____52____ — over 200, according to Legends of Surgery — that kept Murray alive. The angry ants’ poison ____53____ her, filling her with adrenaline (肾上腺素) and keeping her heart from stopping. Murray ____54____ and, two years after the accident, bravely took to the skies again. Murray’s story is a reminder that even in the most desperate situations, life can find a ____55____ way to survive. 41.

Some salty biscuits and a flavoring box sat innocently nearby. I had never eaten an oyster. I loved seafood, though. I’d never had any seafood or fish that I didn’t like, and I love to try new things. But the sight of that slimy, shapeless thing… Ugh. I just couldn’t do it. My dearest aunt kindly encouraged me to have a try. Cautiously, I stuck one with a tiny fork and lifted it onto the salty biscuit in my left hand. There! That was something at least. I’d put the thing onto a biscuit. I moved the biscuit to my right hand and brought it close to my mouth. It smelled salty. “Do I bite into it or just put the whole thing into my mouth?

The wheels in my head began to turn. The average female in the United States lives approximately seventy-eight years or just over 683,000 hours. And, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Now, having an oyster was a new start. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stared at the biscuit with that oyster in my hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The oyster incident has changed how I view so many things. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
