B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了《文化遗产杂志》的概况、征稿要求及被录用的稿件的福利。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The main purpose of the journal is to present innovative approaches concerning all scientific aspects related to heritage science.(本刊的主要目的是介绍与遗产科学有关的所有科学方面的创新方法)”可知，该期刊的主要目的是提供遗产科学的新方法。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据SPECIFIC TOPICS中“Museum conservation: technologies for the management and improvement of museum collections.(博物馆保护：管理和改善博物馆藏品的技术)”可知，该期刊关注博物馆保护方面的内容，C选项“Science is improving museum collections.(科学正在改善博物馆藏品)”符合博物馆保护这一主题，由此可推知，“科学正在改善博物馆藏品”这篇文章有可能被收录在期刊上。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据BENEFITS TO AUTHORS 中“Payment $60 per thousand words(稿费 每千字支付60美元)”以及“Early submission bonus a $15 bonus if submitted before the 10th of every month(提前提交奖金：如果在每10号之前提交，将获得15美元奖金)”可知，文章提到稿费是每千字60美元，2000字的文章稿费应为2×60=120美元。又因为在每月10号前提交有15美元的奖金，4月5号提交满足此条件，所以总共可得120+15=135美元，B选项正确。故选B项。 B I often wake up to my alarm after a short night and step out of bed to a day I’ve fought through countless times. I rush my morning routine and run to my car. My radio switches to my favorite song, but I have to listen to an audible (可听的) book for an assignment due tomorrow. When I get to school, I start with Spanish, my hardest class. Despite being around all year, I have no clue what’s going on. I then walk to my English class, in which I was stuck in the language rules. The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably ate at night. This is my reality as a student with dyslexia, a learning disorder in reading and spelling: assignments that take three times as long as they’re meant to, late nights and early mornings to even slightly keep up with my classes. I was told that Advanced Placement U. S. History would be my hardest class. But here, I am in my element. Despite being three assignments behind, I’m actively engaged. Yes, my passion for history heightens my focus, but my teacher’s willingness to work with me is what allows me to fly high. Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible. I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work. A fix for that is as simple as providing alternative resources: a slide show students can go back to after class, or perhaps even an activity that further plays with the concepts. Now, many schools are shifting to approaches that meet the needs of all kids. However, advocacy work can still be done to support students with dyslexia. If school systems are willing to provide support and education by creating an accessible class structure from the start, students won’t be stuck into academic tracks that don’t push them to their full potential. 4. Why does the author have to do his homework late at night? A. He needs time to do it well enough. B. He fails to manage his spare time. C. He is assigned extra homework. D. He dislikes tasks related to languages. 5. What does the underlined part “in my element” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Burning the midnight oil. B. Peeling like a fish in water. C. Biting off more than I can chew. D. Having butterflies in my stomach. 6. What does the author think of lecture-based class? A. Satisfying. B. Inspiring. C. Demanding. D. Rewarding. 7. What does the author advise schools to do for students? A. Get teachers trained in special education. B. Ask educational experts to give lectures. C. Advocate out-of-class activities. D. Offer classes with alternatives. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了患有阅读障碍症的作者作为学生的学习困境，强调老师应提供替代学习结构，学校要创建可及的课堂结构支持学生。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably ate at night. (这些作业需要耗费大量精力，以我追求完美的性格在学校里无法完成，所以我把它们留到以后，很可能是晚上做)”可知，作者要在晚上做作业是因为他需要时间把作业做得足够好。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“I was told that Advanced Placement U. S. History would be my hardest class. But here, I am in my element.(我被告知美国历史大学先修课程将是我最难的一门课。但在这里，我……)”可知，前文说美国历史大学先修课程是最难的一门学科，根据“But”可知，前后文是转折关系，说明这门课对作者来说并不难，结合选项，“Peeling like a fish in water”意思是如鱼得水，符合语境。Burning the midnight oil.意为“开夜车”；Biting off more than I can chew.意为“贪多嚼不烂；心有余而力不足”；Having butterflies in my stomach意为“心里七上八下的”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work. (我曾遇到过一些老师，他们教的是以讲座为基础的课程，学生们被要求做笔记和听讲。作为一个患有阅读障碍症的学生，这种方式行不通)”可知，作为一个患有阅读障碍症的学生，作者认为以讲座为主的课堂对自己来说不合适，要求高的，有一定难度。C项“Demanding”意为“要求高的、费力的”，符合作者对讲座式课堂的看法。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible. (教师需要提供多样化的教学形式，让学习变得更易于接受)”和最后一段中“If school systems are willing to provide support and education by creating an accessible class structure from the start, students won’t be stuck into academic tracks that don’t push them to their full potential. (如果教育系统愿意从一开始就建立无障碍的课堂形式，为学生提供支持与引导，那么学生就不会被困在那些无法充分激发他们潜能的学术轨道上)”可知，作者建议学校为学生提供有替代方案的课程。故选D项。 C Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province, are striving to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard murals and artifacts, through innovative measures such as digital presentations. Sandstorms, rainfall and tourist visits constitute the most severe threats to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, said Wang Xiaowei, director of the Dunhuang Grottoes Monitoring Center at the Dunhuang Academy. Since the Mogao Caves opened to the public in 1979, the number of visitors has been growing at an average annual rate of around 20 percent, reaching 2.15 million in 2019 before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the site is expected to receive a record 3 million visitors. “If you enter the caves during the peak tourism months of July, August and September, you’ll find it hard to breathe,” Wang said. The carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by visitors accumulate inside the caves and cause damage to the murals, Wang said. To preserve the caves, the duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. To try and ensure visitors aren’t disappointed when restrictions are in place, the center provides a digital exhibition, he said. Currently, the center is being expanded to cater for an additional 3,000 visitors on top of the existing capacity of 6,000. The Dunhuang Academy began digitally recording and storing images of murals and painted sculptures over 30 years ago. The digitization project has successfully covered over 200 caves, with a dedicated team of 110 experts currently undertaking the work. The Mogao Caves are immovable, and transporting them is impossible, according to Su Bomin, head of the Dunhuang Academy. And he added, “However, with digitization, we can perfectly replicate Dunhuang art and showcase it worldwide, introducing Eastern culture to the world.” In 2016, the Digital Dunhuang repository went live, sharing high-definition images and panoramic tours of the most exquisite 30 caves globally. Currently, visitors from 78 countries have accessed the repository, totaling over 16.8 million visits. Su said Dunhuang can provide diverse cultural exchanges through its cultural relics. “By digitizing these relics, we enable people worldwide to understand Dunhuang’s culture, thereby gaining a deeper appreciation for China’s historical commitment to diverse cultural exchanges — that is, an ethos of inclusivity, mutual learning and a shared future,” he said. 8. Which of the following is NOT the reason for providing a digital exhibition? A. The factors related to COVID-19 put the caves in grave danger. B. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves. C. The authority is aimed at balancing tourism and relics conservation. D. The duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. 9. What does the underlined word “replicate” probably mean? A. Copy. B. Safeguard. C. Access. D. Transport. 10. What does Su Bomin think of digitization? A. It records and stores images of murals and painted sculptures. B. It shares high definition and panoramic tours of the most exquisite caves. C. It allows for an international exchange of cultures through the relics. D. It enables people to appreciate the lasting beauty of the murals. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Significance of the Mural Paintings B. The Restoration in Mogao Caves C. The Innovation on Mogao Caves’ Preservation D. The Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是甘肃省敦煌莫高窟如何通过创新措施，如数字展示，来平衡游客对遗址的探索与保护壁画和文物的需要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sandstorms, rainfall and tourist visits constitute the most severe threats to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, said Wang Xiaowei, director of the Dunhuang Grottoes Monitoring Center at the Dunhuang Academy.(敦煌研究院敦煌石窟监测中心主任Wang Xiaowei表示，沙尘暴、降雨和游客来访是对联合国教科文组织世界遗产最严重的威胁。)”，第四段“The carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by visitors accumulate inside the caves and cause damage to the murals(游客呼出的二氧化碳和湿气会在洞穴内积聚，对壁画造成损害)”和第五段“To preserve the caves, the duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. To try and ensure visitors aren’t disappointed when restrictions are in place, the center provides a digital exhibition, he said.(为了保护洞穴，参观的时间是有限的，有时在下雨或沙尘暴期间停止。他说，为了确保游客在实施限制措施时不会感到失望，该中心提供了一个数字展览。)”可知，提供数码展览的原因包括B，C，D三项，不包括A项，故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第三段“The Mogao Caves are immovable, and transporting them is impossible(莫高窟是不可移动的，运输它们是不可能的)”，“with digitization(通过数字化)”和“showcase it worldwide, introducing Eastern culture to the world(向世界展示，向世界介绍东方文化)”可知，莫高窟是不可移动的，通过数字化，我们可以完美地复制敦煌艺术，并向全世界展示，划线词replicate的意思是“复制”，和copy意思相近，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Su said Dunhuang can provide diverse cultural exchanges through its cultural relics.(Su说，敦煌可以通过其文物提供多种文化交流。)”和“By digitizing these relics, we enable people worldwide to understand Dunhuang’s culture, thereby gaining a deeper appreciation for China’s historical commitment to diverse cultural exchanges — that is, an ethos of inclusivity, mutual learning and a shared future(通过将这些文物数字化，我们让全世界的人了解敦煌文化，从而更深刻地认识到中国对多元文化交流的历史承诺——即包容、互学、共享未来的精神)”可知，Su Bomin认为数字化使得可以通过文物进行国际文化交流。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province, are striving to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard murals and artifacts, through innovative measures such as digital presentations.(甘肃省敦煌莫高窟的管理人员正在努力通过数字展示等创新措施，使游客对该遗址的探索与保护壁画和文物的需要相协调。)”可知，本文主要讲的是甘肃省敦煌莫高窟如何通过创新措施，如数字展示，来平衡游客对遗址的探索与保护壁画和文物的需要，因此最好的题目是C选项“The Innovation on Mogao Caves’ Preservation(莫高窟保护的创新)”。故选C。 D Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then — much as humans do — improve on those techniques from one generation to the next. In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced — although very, very slowly. “If chimpanzees have some cultural knowledge that the community they’ re moving into doesn’t have, they may pass it on — just in the same way we pass on the genes (基因),” says Andrew Whiten at the University of St Andrews. “And then that culture builds up.” Scientists knew chimpanzees used tools and passed on the knowledge, but their lack of significant innovation compared to humans puzzled researchers. Cassandra Gunasekaram at the University of Zurich suspected she might be able to apply genetic analysis to the puzzle. To see if young females bring their skill sets into their new groups, she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups at 35 study sites in Africa and included information about what tools, if any, each animal used, as well as their genetic connections over the past 15,000 years. “The genetics give us a kind of time machine into the way culture has been transmitted (传播) across chimpanzees,” says Whiten. Some chimpanzees used complex tools, for example a drilling stick and a fishing brush for hunting. The researchers found the chimpanzees with the most advanced tool sets were three to five times more likely to share the same DNA as those that used simple tools or no tools at all, even though they might live thousands of kilometres away. And advanced tool use was also more strongly associated with female migration compared with simple or no tool use. “Our interpretation is that these complex tool sets are really invented by perhaps building on a simpler form from before, and therefore they have to depend on transmission by females from the communities that invented them initially to the other communities,” says Whiten. “It shows that complex tools would rely on social exchanges across groups— which is very surprising and exciting,” says Gunasekaram. 12. Which best describes “cumulative culture” in paragraph 2? A. The immediate adoption of advanced tools for food. B. The gradual build-up of cultural knowledge over time. C. The independent invention of tools without prior skills. D. The preservation of cultural knowledge for generations. 13. How did Gunasekaram’s team conduct their research? A. By observing chimpanzees at 35 study sites. B. By analyzing existing data on chimpanzees. C. By comparing chimpanzees in terms of their tool use. D. By investigating genetic connections of chimpanzees. 14. What led to chimpanzees’ use of complex tools? A. Human influences. B. Food-hunting strategy. C. Social competition. D. Cross-group interactions. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The learning gaps between chimpanzees and humans. B. The environmental impact on chimpanzees’ behaviors. C. The genetic diversity of chimpanzees in the wilderness. D. The role of female chimpanzees in cultural transmission. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了野生黑猩猩如何学习技能并在一代又一代中改进这些技能，特别是年轻雌性在群体间迁徙时带来的文化知识能够提升技能，从而改进觅食技巧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced— although very, very slowly.(尤其是迁徙到不同群体的年轻雌性黑猩猩会带着它们的文化知识，群体可以将新的技术与现有的技术结合起来，更好地寻找食物。这种“累积文化”意味着一些黑猩猩群体正在变得更加技术先进——尽管非常非常慢)”可知，“累积文化”是指随着时间的推移逐渐积累文化知识。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups (她和同事分析了先前其他研究小组收集的数据)”可推知，Gunasekaram团队是通过分析现有的关于黑猩猩的数据进行研究的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our interpretation is that these complex tool sets are really invented by perhaps building on a simpler form from before, and therefore they have to depend on transmission by females from the communities that invented them initially to the other communities (我们的解释是，这些复杂的工具可能是在以前的简单形式的基础上创造出来的，因此它们必须依赖于最初发明它们的社区的女性向其他社区的传播)”可推知，黑猩猩使用复杂工具是因群体间的相互交流所致。故选D。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then— much as humans do— improve on those techniques from one generation to the next. (野生黑猩猩似乎彼此学习技能，然后——就像人类一样——将这些技术从一代代改进下去)”根据文章第二段“In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food.(特别是，迁徙的年轻雌性带来了文化知识，群体可以将新技术与现有技术结合起来，更好地寻找食物)”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了雌性黑猩猩在文化传播中的角色。故选D。 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。 One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself. Yet, many people delay this, claiming they lack time or money. ____16____ Self-investment isn’t about grand gestures- it’s choosing actions that enrich your life, whether learning a skill, exploring a new place, or nurturing meaningful relationships. Even small efforts, like reading a book, spending time in nature, or attending a workshop, can spark significant growth. With this perspective, the process becomes straightforward. Start with simple and achievable steps. Identify activities that correspond with your interests and budget. ____17____ Workshops and seminars not only build skills but also connect you with like-minded peers. Focus on forming habits that support your goals- whether waking up earlier, practicing mindfulness, or dedicating 30 minutes daily to learning. ____18____ ____19____ Completing a course or mastering a hobby boosts confidence, proving you can overcome challenges. Unlike temporary jobs, the skills you develop-like critical thinking or communication-stay with you, creating lifelong stability. Additionally, investing in relationships strengthens your support network, offering joy and resilience during tough times. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment.” If you’re on the fence about a new venture or opportunity that would enrich your life, don’t pass it up by continuously telling yourself that you’ll do it “someday.” Tomorrow after tomorrow, yet tomorrow never arrives. ____20____ If the answer is yes, act now. Don’t wait any longer to get started. A. After all, tomorrow is another day. B. Instead, ask yourself: “Will this add value to my life?” C. But the benefits of self-investment get lost in the chaos. D. Patiently watch small efforts blossom into lasting rewards. E. In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth. F. For instance, join a fitness class enroll in an online course, or try a creative hobby like painting. G. Equally important is letting go of the habits that hold you back, such as procrastination or negative self-talk. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了自我投资的重要性，指出人们不应以缺乏时间或金钱为借口，应从小事做起，坚持行动，且不要等待所谓的“完美时刻”。 【16题详解】 上文“Yet, many people delay this, claiming they lack time or money.(然而，许多人推迟自我投资，声称他们缺乏时间或金钱)”提到人们推迟自我投资并给出借口。E选项“In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth.(实际上，这些借口往往源于对个人成长的低估)”分析了这些借口的本质原因，与上文构成转折后的因果关系，指出人们是因为低估个人成长才找借口。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“Identify activities that correspond with your interests and budget.(确定符合你兴趣和预算的活动)”建议要寻找适合自己兴趣和预算的活动。F选项“For instance, join a fitness class enroll in an online course, or try a creative hobby like painting.(例如，参加健身课程、报名在线课程，或者尝试像绘画这样有创意的爱好)”通过举例的方式，列举了具体符合兴趣和预算的活动，与上文紧密相关，对上文进行了具体说明。故选F项。 【18题详解】 上文“Focus on forming habits that support your goals whether waking up earlier, practicing mindfulness, or dedicating 30 minutes daily to learning.(专注于养成支持你目标的习惯——无论是早起、练习正念，还是每天花30分钟学习)”强调要养成支持目标的习惯。G选项“Equally important is letting go of the habits that hold you back, such as procrastination or negative self-talk.(同样重要的是改掉阻碍你的习惯，比如拖延或消极的自我对话)”与上文形成并列关系，指出除了养成好习惯，改掉坏习惯也同样重要。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“Completing a course or mastering a hobby boosts confidence, proving you can overcome challenges.(完成一门课程或掌握一项爱好会增强信心，证明你可以克服挑战)”描述了自我投资带来的积极结果。D选项“Patiently watch small efforts blossom into lasting rewards.(耐心地看着小努力绽放成持久的回报)”引出下文，说明持续的小努力会带来积极的回报，与下文内容相呼应。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“Don’t wait for the ‘perfect moment.’ If you’re on the fence about a new venture or opportunity that would enrich your life, don’t pass it up by continuously telling yourself that you’ll do it ‘someday.’(不要等待‘完美时刻’。如果你对一个能丰富你生活的新冒险或机会犹豫不决，不要一直告诉自己‘有一天’会去做而错过它)”强调不要等待，要抓住机会。B选项“Instead, ask yourself: ‘Will this add value to my life?’(相反，问问自己：‘这会给我的生活增添价值吗？’)”承接上文，给出面对机会时的具体做法，即通过问自己这个问题来判断是否要抓住机会，与上文逻辑连贯。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分40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。 In February, Jackie Hsiao, a sophomore at the University of Rochester and a member of the UR Fencing Club, competed in the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The performance with the name A Hero’s Life tells of the story of Cai Lun, a man in China’s Eastern Han Dynasty credited with the invention of paper. It was produced by a famous Chinese theatrical figure Chen Xinyi, who has created the performance style known as “symphony poetry drama”. The soundtrack (配乐), performed by the Fidelio Orchesira, ____37____ (compose) by Richard Strauss in the 19th century in a style called a tone poem. It’s a single ____38____ (continue) movement made up of sequences similar to chapters, as in a symphony. “Cai Lun is a hero, ____39____ invention changed civilization and advanced cultural progress. But surprisingly, he also experienced ____40____ (fortune), which stimulated my sympathy — he is a super dramatic character,” Chen add. “____41____ (combine) a story with music written hundreds of years ago and thousands of kilometers apart seems unlikely, but ____42____ instant I heard A Hero’s Life, the pairing come together.” Linking Chinese theater and Western music is a practice Chen has kept exploring for two decades, eight of her symphony poetry dramas ____43____ (perform) previously, but this was her first performance in England. “England is William Shakespeare’s home. ____44____ (interesting), there’s a connection between him and the great playwright Tang Xianzu, who emerged in China at the same time,” she explains. “Then Europe saw the rise of symphonic music at the same time as China saw the rise of Peking Opera.

Combining 42. the 43. performed 44. Interestingly 45. where 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了一场将中国传统戏曲与西方古典音乐相结合的演出在伦敦上演，介绍了演出相关情况及创作者陈心一融合中西表演风格的探索。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一场将中国传统戏曲与西方古典音乐相结合的演出在伦敦举行。“(integrate) traditional Chinese opera with Western classical music”作后置定语，integrate(合并，成为一体)用非谓语动词形式，与其逻辑主语production之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动。故填integrating。 【37题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：配乐由菲岱里奥管弦乐团演奏，是理查德·施特劳斯在19世纪创作的，采用了一种叫做交响诗的风格。compose(创作)是谓语动词，与主语The soundtrack之间是被动关系，结合时间状语“in the 19th century”可知，事情发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是不可数名词，谓语用单数形式。故填was composed。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它是一个连续的乐章，由类似于交响乐章节的序列组成。修饰名词movement，用形容词continuous作定语，意为“连续的”。故填continuous。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：蔡伦是一位英雄，他的发明改变了文明，推动了文化进步。“___ invention changed civilization and advanced cultural progress.”是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Cai Lun，关系词在从句中作定语，修饰名词invention，表示“蔡伦的发明”，应用表示所属关系的关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：但令人惊讶的是，他也经历了不幸，这激起了我的同情——他是一个极具戏剧性的人物。提示词作宾语，结合后文“which stimulated my sympathy”推知，蔡伦经历了不幸，所以激起了作者的同情，用名词misfortune，意为“不幸”，符合语境。故填misfortune。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：将一个故事与几百年前、几千公里外创作的音乐结合起来似乎不太可能，但我一听到《英雄的生涯》，这种搭配就出现了。“____ a story with music...”在句中作主语，用动名词形式combining；句首单词首字母大写。故填Combining。 【42题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：将一个故事与几百年前、几千公里外创作的音乐结合起来似乎不太可能，但我一听到《英雄的生涯》，这种搭配就出现了。“the instant”是固定短语，意为“一……就……”，引导时间状语从句。故填the。 【43题详解】 考查独立主格结构和非谓语动词。句意：将中国戏剧和西方音乐联系起来是陈心一二十年来一直在探索的实践，此前她的八部交响诗剧已经上演过了，但这是她在英国的首次演出。“eight of her symphony poetry dramas ___ (perform) previously”是独立主格结构，在句中作状语，perform(演出，表演)用非谓语形式，与其逻辑主语eight of her symphony poetry dramas之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填performed。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：有趣的是，他和同时期在中国出现的伟大剧作家汤显祖有联系。提示词修饰整个句子，用副词interestingly作状语，意为“有趣的是”；句首单词首字母大写。故填Interestingly。 【45题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：所以我喜欢将这两种伟大的表演风格结合起来，而伦敦是我特别想这样做的地方。“____ I particularly desired to do it”是表语从句，从句中缺少地点状语，用连接副词where引导从句并在从句中作状语。故填where。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你们学校开展“守护非遗之光”英语征文活动，旨在提升同学们对非物质文化遗产的认知与保护意识。请你用英语写一篇征文稿，内容包括： 1. 介绍一项你感兴趣的非遗项目；2. 阐述保护它的必要性。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80词左右； 2. 参考词汇：非物质文化遗产intangible cultural heritage 3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A heritage beyond price ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A heritage beyond price One intangible cultural heritage that fascinates me is Chinese paper cutting.

(运用了动名词作主语) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me. When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn’t feel so alone. As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside. I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑)，“Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.” While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.” Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右：(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea sparked. I hurried to the car and returned with the vibrant bunch. Knocking on each resident’s door, I offered a balloon and a smile. Faces lit up like children receiving candies. An elderly lady tied hers to a walker, murmuring “Just like my granddaughter’s birthday.” Soon the courtyard bloomed with floating rainbows. Laughter echoed through the once-silent corridors. As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. Their wrinkled hands patted mine gratefully. For the first time since moving here, loneliness dissolved like sugar in warm tea. Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. We planted sunflowers by his window, their golden faces tracking the sun like old friends nodding hello. He taught me chess moves from his army days, and I read him newspaper crosswords. Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. By Christmas, the home buzzed with cookie-baking aromas and carol singers. When Dad finally visited in December, he found me surrounded by silver-haired “adopted grandparents”. His eyes glistened as Daniel shook his hand, “Your daughter’s brought spring to our winter.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的情感变化为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因无法回家陪伴父亲而感到孤独，在离校途中偶遇退休老人Daniel，通过送气球与他交流，最终收获温暖与陪伴的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后我想起了后座的另外十二个气球。”可知，第一段可描写作者利用这些气球逐一拜访养老院里的每一位老人，将气球作为礼物送给他们，观察到这一简单举动带给老人们的喜悦变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的六个月里，我经常去看望Daniel。”可知，第二段可描写作者与Daniel之间相处日常，以及更多人加入看望老人的活动，养老院变得温馨，父亲来访时的感动场景。 2续写线索：想起剩余气球——逐一分发给老人——见到老人笑容——频繁探访Daniel——共同活动加深联系——学生加入带来更大影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①匆忙去：hurry to/rush to/hasten to ②提供：offer/give/provide ③系上：tie/fasten/attach 情绪类 ①感激：gratefully/thankfully/appreciatively ②孤独：loneliness/solitude 【点睛】【高分句型1】As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade.

B I often wake up to my alarm after a short night and step out of bed to a day I’ve fought through countless times. I rush my morning routine and run to my car. My radio switches to my favorite song, but I have to listen to an audible (可听的) book for an assignment due tomorrow. When I get to school, I start with Spanish, my hardest class. Despite being around all year, I have no clue what’s going on. I then walk to my English class, in which I was stuck in the language rules. The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably ate at night. This is my reality as a student with dyslexia, a learning disorder in reading and spelling: assignments that take three times as long as they’re meant to, late nights and early mornings to even slightly keep up with my classes. I was told that Advanced Placement U. S. History would be my hardest class. But here, I am in my element. Despite being three assignments behind, I’m actively engaged. Yes, my passion for history heightens my focus, but my teacher’s willingness to work with me is what allows me to fly high. Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible. I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work. A fix for that is as simple as providing alternative resources: a slide show students can go back to after class, or perhaps even an activity that further plays with the concepts. Now, many schools are shifting to approaches that meet the needs of all kids. However, advocacy work can still be done to support students with dyslexia. If school systems are willing to provide support and education by creating an accessible class structure from the start, students won’t be stuck into academic tracks that don’t push them to their full potential. 4. Why does the author have to do his homework late at night? A. He needs time to do it well enough. B. He fails to manage his spare time. C. He is assigned extra homework. D. He dislikes tasks related to languages. 5. What does the underlined part “in my element” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Burning the midnight oil. B. Peeling like a fish in water. C. Biting off more than I can chew. D. Having butterflies in my stomach. 6. What does the author think of lecture-based class? A. Satisfying. B. Inspiring. C. Demanding. D. Rewarding. 7. What does the author advise schools to do for students? A. Get teachers trained in special education. B. Ask educational experts to give lectures. C. Advocate out-of-class activities. D. Offer classes with alternatives. C Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province, are striving to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard murals and artifacts, through innovative measures such as digital presentations. Sandstorms, rainfall and tourist visits constitute the most severe threats to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, said Wang Xiaowei, director of the Dunhuang Grottoes Monitoring Center at the Dunhuang Academy. Since the Mogao Caves opened to the public in 1979, the number of visitors has been growing at an average annual rate of around 20 percent, reaching 2.15 million in 2019 before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the site is expected to receive a record 3 million visitors. “If you enter the caves during the peak tourism months of July, August and September, you’ll find it hard to breathe,” Wang said. The carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by visitors accumulate inside the caves and cause damage to the murals, Wang said. To preserve the caves, the duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. To try and ensure visitors aren’t disappointed when restrictions are in place, the center provides a digital exhibition, he said. Currently, the center is being expanded to cater for an additional 3,000 visitors on top of the existing capacity of 6,000. The Dunhuang Academy began digitally recording and storing images of murals and painted sculptures over 30 years ago. The digitization project has successfully covered over 200 caves, with a dedicated team of 110 experts currently undertaking the work. The Mogao Caves are immovable, and transporting them is impossible, according to Su Bomin, head of the Dunhuang Academy. And he added, “However, with digitization, we can perfectly replicate Dunhuang art and showcase it worldwide, introducing Eastern culture to the world.” In 2016, the Digital Dunhuang repository went live, sharing high-definition images and panoramic tours of the most exquisite 30 caves globally. Currently, visitors from 78 countries have accessed the repository, totaling over 16.8 million visits. Su said Dunhuang can provide diverse cultural exchanges through its cultural relics. “By digitizing these relics we enable people worldwide to understand Dunhuang’s culture, thereby gaining a deeper appreciation for China’s historical commitment to diverse cultural exchanges — that is, an ethos of inclusivity, mutual learning and a shared future,” he said. 8 Which of the following is NOT the reason for providing a digital exhibition? A. The factors related to COVID-19 put the caves in grave danger. B. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves. C. The authority is aimed at balancing tourism and relics conservation. D. The duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. 9. What does the underlined word “replicate” probably mean? A. Copy. B. Safeguard. C. Access. D. Transport. 10. What does Su Bomin think of digitization? A.

The Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture D Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then — much as humans do — improve on those techniques from one generation to the next. In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced — although very, very slowly. “If chimpanzees have some cultural knowledge that the community they’ re moving into doesn’t have, they may pass it on — just in the same way we pass on the genes (基因),” says Andrew Whiten at the University of St Andrews. “And then that culture builds up.” Scientists knew chimpanzees used tools and passed on the knowledge, but their lack of significant innovation compared to humans puzzled researchers. Cassandra Gunasekaram at the University of Zurich suspected she might be able to apply genetic analysis to the puzzle. To see if young females bring their skill sets into their new groups, she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups at 35 study sites in Africa and included information about what tools, if any, each animal used, as well as their genetic connections over the past 15,000 years. “The genetics give us a kind of time machine into the way culture has been transmitted (传播) across chimpanzees,” says Whiten. Some chimpanzees used complex tools, for example a drilling stick and a fishing brush for hunting. The researchers found the chimpanzees with the most advanced tool sets were three to five times more likely to share the same DNA as those that used simple tools or no tools at all, even though they might live thousands of kilometres away. And advanced tool use was also more strongly associated with female migration compared with simple or no tool use. “Our interpretation is that these complex tool sets are really invented by perhaps building on a simpler form from before, and therefore they have to depend on transmission by females from the communities that invented them initially to the other communities,” says Whiten. “It shows that complex tools would rely on social exchanges across groups— which is very surprising and exciting,” says Gunasekaram. 12. Which best describes “cumulative culture” in paragraph 2? A. The immediate adoption of advanced tools for food. B. The gradual build-up of cultural knowledge over time. C. The independent invention of tools without prior skills. D. The preservation of cultural knowledge for generations. 13. How did Gunasekaram’s team conduct their research? A. By observing chimpanzees at 35 study sites. B. By analyzing existing data on chimpanzees. C. By comparing chimpanzees in terms of their tool use. D. By investigating genetic connections of chimpanzees. 14. What led to chimpanzees’ use of complex tools? A. Human influences. B. Food-hunting strategy. C. Social competition. D. Cross-group interactions. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The learning gaps between chimpanzees and humans. B. The environmental impact on chimpanzees’ behaviors. C. The genetic diversity of chimpanzees in the wilderness. D. The role of female chimpanzees in cultural transmission. 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。 One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself.

My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me. When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn’t feel so alone. As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside. I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑)，“Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.” While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.” Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右：(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
