Liverpool is such a big club with a great reputation. I remember watching them as a young child when they were the best team in the world, winning four European Cups in seven years! So, when I was given the honor of becoming Liverpool’s manager nine years ago, I have to say, I was more than a little nervous! Big clubs come with big expectations, and they don’t come much bigger than Liverpool. It’s been an amazing nine years. We’ve learned as a group，grown as a group，and shared so many successes... And when I say “we”, I don’t just mean the players; I mean everyone. From the owners to the coaches, to all the people behind the scenes, and to all of you who sat in this fantastic stadium today. As I wiped my eyes, I’m remembering winning the league in 2020 and our famous European victory in 2019. Without your incredible support, none of that could have happened. But all good things come to an end. I’m sure Liverpool will win many more tournaments in the coming years. But for me, the time is right to have a rest and try something new. Thank you for all the wonderful memories! 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分60分) 第一节 阅读理解 (共19小题; 每小题2.5分，满分47.5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 La Tomatina 2024 ——Information, Accommodation & Tickets La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Bunol near to Valencia in Spain. Thousands of people make their way from all comers of the world to fight in this “World's Biggest Food Fight”. What Happens at La Tomatina At around 12 Noon a number of trucks haul tomatoes into the centre of the town. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of water cannons, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself. After an hour the fighting ends. At this point, no more tomatoes can be thrown. The authorities seem more concerned with cleaning the town than cleaning the visitors, so some people find water at the Bunol River to wash themselves. Once flushed (冲洗), the ground is clean due to the acidity of the tomato. The Rules of La Tomatina · Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants. · Do not rip other people's T-shirts. · You must crush the tomatoes before throwing them as this reduces the impact. ●As soon as you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing tomatoes. Useful Advice · Wear closed shoes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. If you wear flip-flops,you may get hurt. ● Ensure that you always have something clean to wipe your eyes with. A good tip is to tuck your T-shirt into your shorts to keep the bottom pait of your T-shirt clean and dry. ·If you are planning to take pictures, bring a waterproof camera! · Do not miss the Palojabon ——a greased pole with a Spanish ham at the top. Whoever can climb the pole and get the ham can keep it! 2024 La Tomatina Packages including Official Entry Tickets+Pre & After Party Entry 21. What marks the beginning of the tomato fight? A.

The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of water cannons(中午12点左右，一些卡车将西红柿运到市中心。大战开始的信号是发射高压水枪)”可知，大战开始的信号是发射高压水枪，故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题，根据“The Rules of La Tomatina”部分的“You must crush the tomatoes before throwing them as this reduces the impact.(扔西红柿之前你必须先把西红柿碾碎，这样可以减少影响。)”可知，在番茄大战节中，扔西红柿之前应先把它软化，故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由图表可知，四星级酒店价格为：235英镑，五星级酒店价格为：629英镑，所以从四星升级到五星需要额外付费数额为629-235=394英镑。故选C项。 B When concert pianist Paul Barton moved to Thailand, little could he have expected where life would take him. Instead of performing for classical music lovers on stage, Barton’s audience are old and injured elephants. He spends his time playing everything from Bach to Beethoven to these huge animals. The idea first came to Barton while he made a YouTube video in Thailand. It was there that the elephant-lover found out about Elephants World. This sanctuary (保护区) cares for old, injured and disabled elephants. After contacting the manager, Barton decided to give his first concert. What happened was something he would never forget. “The first time I played the piano at Elephants World, a blind elephant called Plara was having his breakfast. But when he heard the music, he suddenly stopped eating his food and stayed still all through the music. Plara was not the only one,” shares Barton. The piano “concerts” are held in the open. Elephants are not forced to listen. In fact, Barton notes that the music itself appears to attract them, as many come closer for a listen. Some move slowly to the song. Some hold their trunk (象鼻) in their mouth as they listen, and others even put their trunk on the piano and begin to sing along. For Barton, this work is part of an effort to attend to these huge animals. Their stress and pain will disappear as they listen to music. “All I can think of is that we work to make the lives of elephants better in the ways we can,” explains Barton. “Elephants are emotional animals. There’s a special connection between us. We’re communicating with each other in a different language.” Barton has posted videos of these amazing moments to his YouTube, which has over 300,000 followers. Each of the videos is a moving look at how music influences these animals. Barton’s work is a bridge that brings together humans and animals. 24. What does Barton try to do in Thailand? A. He teaches music to classical music lovers B. He gives concerts to animal health workers. C. He plays classical music to weak elephants. D. He performs music in local elephant shows. 25. What does Barton want to say by sharing his experience at Elephants World? A. He enjoys sharing his stories online. B. Elephants show great interest in his music. C. He is inspired by elephants to create new music. D. The living conditions at Elephants World are terrible. 26. Why does Barton carry out such an activity at Elephants World? A. To give comfort to the elephants suffering. B. To call for material support for the organization. C. To attract more people to his YouTube videos. D. To show elephants can understand humans through music. 27. How does the author find Barton’s “concerts”? A. Boring. B. Shocking. C. Worrying. D. Beneficial 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了钢琴家巴顿为泰国保护区大象演奏音乐的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead of performing for classical music lovers on stage, Barton’s audience are old and injured elephants. He spends his time playing everything from Bach to Beethoven to these huge animals. (巴顿的听众不是舞台上的古典音乐爱好者，而是年老受伤的大象。他花时间为这些庞大的动物演奏从巴赫到贝多芬的各种音乐。)”可知，巴顿在泰国为虚弱的大象演奏古典音乐。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The first time I played the piano at Elephants World, a blind elephant called Plara was having his breakfast. But when he heard the music, he suddenly stopped eating his food and stayed still all through the music. Plara was not the only one,” shares Barton. (巴顿分享道：“我第一次在大象世界弹钢琴时，一头名叫普拉的盲象正在吃早餐。但当它听到音乐时，它突然停止进食，在整个音乐过程中一动不动。普拉不是唯一这样的大象。”)”可推断，巴顿分享他在大象世界的经历是想表明大象对他的音乐很感兴趣。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Their stress and pain will disappear as they listen to music. “All I can think of is that we work to make the lives of elephants better in the ways we can,” explains Barton. (当它们听音乐时，它们的压力和痛苦会消失。巴顿解释说：“我所能想到的就是我们努力用我们能做到的方式让大象的生活变得更好。”)”可知，巴顿在大象世界开展这样的活动是为了安慰受苦的大象。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Barton’s work is a bridge that brings together humans and animals.(巴顿的工作是连接人类和动物的桥梁。)”可推断，作者认为巴顿的“音乐会”是有益的。故选 D。 C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 29. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 30. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods. (我们的研究是首次通过这两种检测方法来证明这些益处的。)”可知，这两种检测方法均可以证明益处，即它们得出了一致的结论。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. (他们使用老年抑郁量表（GDS）在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知，研究人员在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，是通过前后对比来进行研究的。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression, (我们发现，SCG的BOLD（血氧水平依赖性）信号在跳舞时会减弱，这意味着SCG的功能不如抑郁症患者运行得那么快)”可知，跳舞会让SCG的运行速度放缓。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，跳舞可以降低与帕金森氏症相关的抑郁，其益处通过多种方式看出。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果，所以“跳舞远离帕金森氏症的忧郁”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片) A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12-but not when it targets adults. In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased by 77,000 U.S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw-both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase a concept known as “pester power”. The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. 32. What did the study find about child-targeted food ads? A. They had no connection with adults’ purchases. B. They were less effective than adult-targeted ads. C. They might affect children’s health in the long run. D. They could reduce children’s interest in sugary food. 33. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending. C. Parents’ growing consumption. D. Children’s repeated purchase requests. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. An expectation for further study. B. The follow-up influence of the study. C. A limitation of the research method. D. The potential application of the findings. 35. What is Tallie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts? A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Reserved. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了针对儿童的高糖麦片广告对家庭购买行为的影响及其长期健康危害，并讨论了相关政策效果与局限性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. (他们发现，针对儿童的广告投放量与有孩子的家庭购买的高糖麦片的数量之间存在着紧密的联系。相比之下，当广告以成年人为目标群体时，广告投放量与家庭购买量的增加没有关联。而且这些广泛的数据还表明，童年时期养成的行为习惯会延续到成年，这可能会在一生中导致不良的健康后果)”可知，研究发现针对儿童的食品广告可能会影响儿童的长期健康。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语所在句“The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase a concept known as “pester power”. (这些研究结果为食品营销如何将儿童变成影响家庭消费的“终极武器”提供了新的证据，因为孩子们会不断要求父母购买，这就是所谓的pester power)”可知，研究发现食品营销如何将儿童变成影响家庭消费的“终极武器”，因为孩子们不断地要求父母购买，即画线短语“pester power”指的是孩子们反复的购买请求。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. (食品行业发起了“儿童食品和饮料广告倡议”，这是一项自愿的自我监管努力。21家参与的食品公司承诺减少向12岁以下儿童推销不健康食品，后来这一年龄限制被修改为13岁以下。2024年进行的一项新研究表明，儿童接触针对儿童的电视节目中的麦片广告大幅减少)”可知，第四段主要讲了研究的后续影响。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. (但北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的食品政策研究员Lindsey Smith Taillie表示，这些自愿的努力并没有起到什么作用。Taillie指出，广告就像孩子们的眼睛一样，正在向网络转移，这使得人们更难知道孩子们接触到了什么样的营销)”可推知，Tallie对自愿的努力持不赞成态度。故选C。 E For centuries, what makes human creativity so precious is not only the final products it yields, but also the effort behind their creation. But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters? How does human-made art survive? Throughout history, the most famous works of art, literature, and music have carried a sense of labor, dedication, and mastery. We don’t just admire the end product; we admire how it came to be. Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill — it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human. As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we’re entering an era of “aesthetic inflation”, where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie-like storytelling are available to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, does human creations still have value? But human imperfection isn’t a weakness — it’s part of who we are, shaping our understanding of humanity. Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren’t just difficulties to overcome — they’re part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI’s ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural—a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection — but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI-generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience. Therefore, to preserve meaning, selection and context become more crucial. As AI can produce endless content, the human elements like context, narrative and the reasoning behind art become the true value source. Also, AI can be a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, refining ideas while keeping human imperfection and feeling, and acting as an amplifier (放大镜) of human vision. 36. Why do masterpieces like “Starry Night” remain valuable in the AI era? A. They represent unique human characteristics. B. They showcase brilliant artistic creation skill. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了在人工智能时代，人类艺术如何存续，指出人类艺术因包含情感深度和创作努力而仍具价值，AI可作为创作伙伴。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill — it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human.(像梵高的《星夜》这样的杰作之所以经久不衰，不仅仅是因为它们的艺术之美，还因为它们承载着人类的故事。它们提醒我们，艺术不仅仅关乎美或技巧——它关乎意图、坚持以及使我们成为人类的东西)”可知，《星夜》等杰作在人工智能时代仍有价值是因为它们承载着人类的故事，包含人类的情感深度和创作努力。故选D项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we’re entering an era of “aesthetic inflation”, where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie like storytelling are available to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, does human creations still have value?(随着人工智能用即时之美充斥世界，我们正在进入一个“审美通胀”的时代，在这个时代，完美构图的图像、诗意的风格和电影般的叙事任何人都可以即时免费获得。这让我们思考，当美来得轻而易举且无穷无尽时，人类的创作还有价值吗?)”可知，作者提到“审美通胀”是为了强调由于大规模生产导致美的贬值。故选D项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren’t just difficulties to overcome — they’re part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI’s ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural—a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection—but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience.(我们的奋斗、错误和局限不仅仅是需要克服的困难——它们是赋予生命意义的一部分。从这个角度看，人工智能创造完美艺术的能力几乎显得不自然——它拒绝了赋予创造力以分量的奋斗。它可能实现技术上的完美，但却以牺牲那种能让艺术在人们心中激起情感的原始活力为代价。即使在最令人印象深刻的时候，人工智能生成的艺术也常常让人感觉空洞。它没有真实的情感或体验，也没有明确的创作者，无法创造出意想不到的惊喜，也无法引起观众的共鸣)”可知，文章将人类艺术和人工智能生成的艺术进行了对比，由此推知，作者是通过作比较来展开论述的。故选C项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters? How does human made art survives?(但在一个人工智能只需点击一下按钮就能生成任何东西的世界里，我们如何区分真正重要的东西呢?人类制作的艺术如何存续呢?)”和第二段中“They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill — it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human.(像它们提醒我们，艺术不仅仅关乎美或技巧——它关乎意图、坚持以及使我们成为人类的东西)”以及后文对人类艺术价值的阐述可知，本文主要探讨了在人工智能时代人类艺术为何仍然重要。故C项“Why Human Art Still Matters in the AI Age(为什么在人工智能时代人类艺术仍然重要)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 第二节 七选五 (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。 Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brand mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____40____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. ____41____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association relives memories.” ____42____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGure clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids’ clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal, the new-found love for these items also speaks to a desire for connection in an increasingly divided world. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____43____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity. “And I feel like it’s not one that’s going to last,” Ellberger said. Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____44____ If it was part of a person’s screen saver, Santa or white elephant, that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said. A. The craze goes beyond toys. B. So, what’s with the fascination? C. It’s a great way to form community. D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts. E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences. F. Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ collections. G. Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again. 【答案】40. F 41. B 42. A 43. C 44. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成年人对一些原本被认为是儿童玩具的物品着迷的现象。 【40题详解】 上文“Mini Brand mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults.(迷你品牌神秘包或其他盲盒已经成为一些成年人收藏的热门物品)”列举了成年人收藏的物品，F选项“Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ collections.(甚至毛绒玩具也进入了成年人的收藏行列)”进一步补充了成年人收藏的物品，与上文在内容上构成并列关系，共同说明成年人收藏儿童玩具的现象。故选F项。 【41题详解】 下文“Seeking and sparking child like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. ‘When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association relives memories.’(行为治疗师玛迪·埃尔伯格说，寻求和激发孩子般的快乐可能是这种吸引力的一部分。‘当某件事让我们想起一段美好的回忆时，我们很可能会参与其中，因为这种联想会让我们重温回忆。’)”解释了成年人对这些物品着迷的原因，B选项“So, what’s with the fascination?(那么，这种着迷是怎么回事呢？)”提出问题，引出下文对原因的解释，上下文逻辑连贯。故选B项。 【42题详解】 下文“Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGure clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids’ clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and ‘Barbie core’ fashion trend.(服装品牌也在利用怀旧情怀获利，从卡骆驰推出莉齐·麦圭尔木屐，到露露乐蒙的迪士尼系列全面回归，其中也包括面向成年人的产品。由于最近的电影和‘芭比核心’时尚潮流，芭比也不再只是儿童服装的代名词了)”说明这种现象不仅局限于玩具，还涉及到服装等领域，A选项“The craze goes beyond toys.(这种热潮不仅仅局限于玩具)”能够概括下文内容，起到承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【43题详解】 上文“the new found love for these items also speaks to a desire for connection in an increasingly divided world. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in person connection.(对这些物品新产生的喜爱也反映了在一个日益分裂的世界里人们对建立联系的渴望。但这种建立联系的渴望是否能得到满足，取决于你是否能将这种兴奋转化为真实的、面对面的联系)”提到人们对建立联系的渴望，C选项“It’s a great way to form community.(这是形成社区的好方法)”说明拥有相同物品是一种建立联系、形成社区的方式，与上文关于建立联系的话题相呼应。故选C项。 【44题详解】 上文“You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. (你对某种趋势感兴趣，比如玩具。你很有可能会找到其他也热衷于同一潮流的人)”说明能找到有相同兴趣的人，D选项“Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.(然后把这些玩具作为节日礼物送给他们)”承接上文，给出了一个具体的行动建议，即把玩具作为礼物送给这些有共同兴趣的人，通过这种方式与他人建立联系，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，满分45分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 The slow death of our television began with an alert (警报) flashing across the screen: This function is not ____45____ now.

Thousands of people make their way from all comers of the world to fight in this “World's Biggest Food Fight”. What Happens at La Tomatina At around 12 Noon a number of trucks haul tomatoes into the centre of the town. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of water cannons, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself. After an hour the fighting ends. At this point, no more tomatoes can be thrown. The authorities seem more concerned with cleaning the town than cleaning the visitors, so some people find water at the Bunol River to wash themselves. Once flushed (冲洗), the ground is clean due to the acidity of the tomato. The Rules of La Tomatina · Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants. · Do not rip other people's T-shirts. · You must crush the tomatoes before throwing them as this reduces the impact. ●As soon as you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing tomatoes. Useful Advice · Wear closed shoes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. If you wear flip-flops,you may get hurt. ● Ensure that you always have something clean to wipe your eyes with. A good tip is to tuck your T-shirt into your shorts to keep the bottom pait of your T-shirt clean and dry. ·If you are planning to take pictures, bring a waterproof camera! · Do not miss the Palojabon ——a greased pole with a Spanish ham at the top. Whoever can climb the pole and get the ham can keep it! 2024 La Tomatina Packages including Official Entry Tickets+Pre & After Party Entry 21. What marks the beginning of the tomato fight? A.

B When concert pianist Paul Barton moved to Thailand, little could he have expected where life would take him. Instead of performing for classical music lovers on stage, Barton’s audience are old and injured elephants. He spends his time playing everything from Bach to Beethoven to these huge animals. The idea first came to Barton while he made a YouTube video in Thailand. It was there that the elephant-lover found out about Elephants World. This sanctuary (保护区) cares for old, injured and disabled elephants. After contacting the manager, Barton decided to give his first concert. What happened was something he would never forget. “The first time I played the piano at Elephants World, a blind elephant called Plara was having his breakfast. But when he heard the music, he suddenly stopped eating his food and stayed still all through the music. Plara was not the only one,” shares Barton. The piano “concerts” are held in the open. Elephants are not forced to listen. In fact, Barton notes that the music itself appears to attract them, as many come closer for a listen. Some move slowly to the song. Some hold their trunk (象鼻) in their mouth as they listen, and others even put their trunk on the piano and begin to sing along. For Barton, this work is part of an effort to attend to these huge animals. Their stress and pain will disappear as they listen to music. “All I can think of is that we work to make the lives of elephants better in the ways we can,” explains Barton. “Elephants are emotional animals. There’s a special connection between us. We’re communicating with each other in a different language.” Barton has posted videos of these amazing moments to his YouTube, which has over 300,000 followers. Each of the videos is a moving look at how music influences these animals. Barton’s work is a bridge that brings together humans and animals. 24. What does Barton try to do in Thailand? A. He teaches music to classical music lovers B. He gives concerts to animal health workers. C. He plays classical music to weak elephants. D. He performs music in local elephant shows. 25. What does Barton want to say by sharing his experience at Elephants World? A. He enjoys sharing his stories online. B. Elephants show great interest in his music. C. He is inspired by elephants to create new music. D. The living conditions at Elephants World are terrible. 26. Why does Barton carry out such an activity at Elephants World? A. To give comfort to the elephants suffering. B. To call for material support for the organization. C. To attract more people to his YouTube videos. D. To show elephants can understand humans through music. 27. How does the author find Barton’s “concerts”? A. Boring. B. Shocking. C. Worrying. D. Beneficial C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 29. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 30. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being D One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12-but not when it targets adults. In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased by 77,000 U.S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw-both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase a concept known as “pester power”. The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. 32. What did the study find about child-targeted food ads? A. They had no connection with adults’ purchases. B. They were less effective than adult-targeted ads. C. They might affect children’s health in the long run. D. They could reduce children’s interest in sugary food. 33. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending. C. Parents’ growing consumption. D. Children’s repeated purchase requests. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A An expectation for further study. B. The follow-up influence of the study. C. A limitation of the research method. D. The potential application of the findings. 35. What is Tallie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts? A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Reserved. E For centuries, what makes human creativity so precious is not only the final products it yields, but also the effort behind their creation. But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters? How does human-made art survive? Throughout history, the most famous works of art, literature, and music have carried a sense of labor, dedication, and mastery. We don’t just admire the end product; we admire how it came to be. Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill — it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human. As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we’re entering an era of “aesthetic inflation”, where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie-like storytelling are available to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, does human creations still have value? But human imperfection isn’t a weakness — it’s part of who we are, shaping our understanding of humanity. Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren’t just difficulties to overcome — they’re part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI’s ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural—a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection — but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI-generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience. Therefore, to preserve meaning, selection and context become more crucial. As AI can produce endless content, the human elements like context, narrative and the reasoning behind art become the true value source. Also, AI can be a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, refining ideas while keeping human imperfection and feeling, and acting as an amplifier (放大镜) of human vision. 36. Why do masterpieces like “Starry Night” remain valuable in the AI era? A. They represent unique human characteristics. B They showcase brilliant artistic creation skill. C. They are created through long production processes. D. They contain human emotional depth and creative effort. 37. Why does the author mention “aesthetic inflation” in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate AI’s efficiency in art creation. B. To prove that AI-generated art is more affordable. C. To criticize the overuse of technology in art creation. D. To stress the devaluation of beauty due to mass production. 38. How does the author develop the argument in the passage? A. By giving examples. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparisons. D. By making classifications. 39. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Guide to Perfect Art with AI B. How to Create Art in the Age of AI C. Why Human Art Still Matters in the AI Age D. A New Revolution in Art Creation brought by AI 第二节 七选五 (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。 Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brand mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____40____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. ____41____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association relives memories.” ____42____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGure clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids’ clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal, the new-found love for these items also speaks to a desire for connection in an increasingly divided world. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____43____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity. “And I feel like it’s not one that’s going to last,” Ellberger said. Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____44____ If it was part of a person’s screen saver, Santa or white elephant, that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said.
