【原文】W: Have you ever seen this photo before?
M: No. Who are all those people?
W: Top sportsmen and women, from various fields. The idea was to show the huge range of body types that exist even among top athletes.
M: Interesting. I suppose different physical features help with different sports.
W: Exactly. I mean, look, Ttara Lipinski is only 155 centimeters, 41 centimeters shorter than Lisa Leslie, yet they’re both world champions.
M: Well, height is a huge advantage in basketball! Maybe the opposite is true for figure skating.
W: It is! Being shorter makes it easier to balance.
M: Wow, look at this guy! You’d never guess he was an athlete. 175c m tall, 168 kg... Wouldn’t that make him seriously overweight?
W: By traditional standards. Yet, he held every American weightlifting record in his class!
M: Really?
W: Yeah. He’s long since retired, but according to his online information page, he is still sport y and energetic!
M: That’s amazing!
W: I’ve always wrestled with my self-image. But this has shown me that every body type can be strong, healthy, and beautiful. It’s just about finding the right sport. Like, I’ll never be thin enough for long-distance running, but I’m the best in the school at the 100m!

【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: Since starting out six years ago, our program has featured “book people” of different kinds. However, I’ve never interviewed a social media star before. In recent years, 34-year-old librarian Mychal’s love for his work has taken the world by storm. As a child, Mychal spent hours at the local library in Fairfield, California, calling it his “home-away-from-home”. After gaining a communications degree from the University of Phoenix, followed by a master’s in library information science from San Jose State University, the 23-year-old returned home and began working at the very library which had made him feel so welcome as a child. Mychal took to social media in the hope of encouraging his audience to visit their local libraries. Sharing book reviews, library experiences, and positive messages, he gradually gained a huge following and millions of views. Earlier this year, the pressures of fame became too much, and Mychal stepped back from his job to focus on his mental health. However, he continues to inspire others. He’s now a “resident librarian” for PBS, America’s biggest not-for-profit TV service. Mychal, welcome...

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
Places that Forbid You from Taking Pictures
Neuschwanstein Castle
Also called “the castle of the fairy-tale king”, this 19th-century palace is among the most visited castles in Germany and the world. Sadly, no photography or filming is allowed inside, but at least you can capture its Disney princess castle vibes (景象) from the outside.
Tower of London
There’s a lot to see in the Tower of London: the architecture, historic artifacts, and the Beefeater tour. Arguably the most prized feature is the Jewel House, which has housed the exquisite (精美绝伦的) Crown Jewels since 1661. Sadly, you can’t take photos of the Crown Jewels for security reasons. And with the frightening security guards watching your every move as you walk through the Jewel House, you won’t want to even try.
Taj Mahal
Many people incorrectly think that the Taj Mahal in India is a mosque (清真寺) or a palace. In reality, it’s a tomb, commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to hold the remains of his late wife. As such, photography is prohibited inside the tomb, and visitors are asked to keep quiet while inside.
Eiffel Tower
If you’re planning a romantic getaway to Paris, don’t think about posting a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower after dark. Taking nighttime photos of the Eiffel Tower is technically illegal, but the issue isn’t with the building itself. The light show on the Eiffel Tower, installed by Pierre Bideau in 1985, is actually an artistic display and protected by copyright, Snopes.com explains.
21. What do Neuschwanstein Castle and Taj Mahal have in common?
A. They are both located in India. B. They are palaces with fairy tales.
C. They prohibit taking photos indoors. D. They house invaluable historic artifacts.
22. What can visitors enjoy in Tower of London?
A. The modern architecture. B. Worldwide jewels.
C. Yummy beef. D. A guided tour.
23. In which place does taking photos break the law?
A. Neuschwanstein Castle. B. Tower of London.
C. Taj Mahal. D. Eiffel Tower.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D

The Inspiring Life Lessons Harry Potter Taught Us
The wizarding world of Harry Potter has fascinated and attracted all ages for over two decades. With seven books and eight movies, this series has brought in over $24 billion in revenue worldwide. Besides the amusing characters and creative plot lines, the Harry Potter series has taught strong life lessons that apply to Muggles (麻瓜). Take a look at a few of the life lessons from the wizarding world.
People are complicated. Fairytales teach children that the world is only split into good and bad people. The Harry Potter series, however, make the characters alive by giving them multi-faceted (多层次的) personalities and changeable emotions. Take Harry for example: loyal, brave, kind, yet has moments of selfish impulsivity (冲动). Ron, for all his traits (特征) that most men have, as Hermione puts it, “the emotional range of a teaspoon”. Even Hermione’s fierce intelligence can sometimes seem bossy and overpowering. If learning that no one is perfect isn’t a good life lesson for young people, then what is?
True friendship is invaluable. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are arguably the most famous friends in literary history. Throughout the novels, their friendship is tested but always survives, stronger than ever. Yet through it all we learn the most important lesson: don’t take your friends for granted because they will be there through anything life throws at you.
Other important life lessons we can learn from the Harry Potter series are: bravery comes in many forms. Competence is worth more than reputation. Virtue isn’t determined by abilities, but by choices. Always treat those below you with kindness.
24. How many life lessons did Harry Potter teach us in this article?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Six.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Everyone is imperfect.
B. Ron has many special features.
C. Harry has more strengths than shortcomings.
D. People are neither purely good nor evil in fairy tales.
26. What makes the friendship between Harry and his friends invaluable?
A. The tests of survival. B. The things happening in life.
C. The hardships dealt with together. D. The arguments Harry put forward.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A fantasy fiction. B. A literary magazine.
C. A news report. D. An academic journal.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段“People are complicated. (人是复杂的)”、第三段“True friendship is invaluable.

Virtue isn’t determined by abilities, but by choices. Always treat those below you with kindness. (我们可以从《哈利·波特》系列中学到的其他重要人生教训有:勇敢有多种形式。能力比名声更重要。美德不是由能力决定的,而是由选择决定的。永远要善待地位比你低的人)”可知,文章提到了六个《哈利·波特》教给我们的人生启示。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Harry Potter series, however, make the characters alive by giving them multi-faceted personalities and changeable emotions. Take Harry for example: loyal, brave, kind, yet has moments of selfish impulsivity. Ron, for all his traits that most men have, as Hermione puts it, “the emotional range of a teaspoon”. Even Hermione’s fierce intelligence can sometimes seem bossy and overpowering. If learning that no one is perfect isn’t a good life lesson for young people, then what is? (然而,《哈利·波特》系列通过赋予角色多方面的个性和多变的情感,使角色栩栩如生。以哈利为例:忠诚、勇敢、善良,但也有自私冲动的时刻。罗恩,尽管他有大多数男人都有的特质,正如赫敏所说,“情绪范围只有一茶匙”。就连赫敏的聪明才智有时也显得专横和压倒性。如果知道人无完人这件事对年轻人来说不是一个好的人生教训,那什么才是呢?)”可知,从第二段我们能学到人性是复杂的,没有人是完美的。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Throughout the novels, their friendship is tested but always survives, stronger than ever. Yet through it all we learn the most important lesson: don’t take your friends for granted because they will be there through anything life throws at you.

While facial movements can help members of the same species communicate emotions or other signals to each other, they can also be important for inter-species understanding. In horses, for example, ear movements have long been viewed as important indicators of their internal state. However, the new work suggests there are many more signals to look out for.
“Horses produce a rich and complex facial expressions, and we should not overlook the little differences in these if we want to truly understand the subjective experiences of horses,” said Dr. Kate Lewis, the first author of the research, from the University of Portsmouth.
The team analysed 72 hours of filmed observations to explore which facial movements tended to occur in each context. “The beauty of what we did here is that we were systematic in how we documented the facial expressions, and that we covered a broad range of naturally occuring behaviours,” Lewis said.
While the researchers found that almost all facial movements occurred in all of the different contexts, some were more specific to certain types of interaction. In particular, they found that during friendly, peaceful interactions with other horses, the animals tended to put their noses forward. By contrast, when paying attention to something, the horses’ ears were typically forward and pulled together.
During aggressive encounters, the ears tended to be flattened and backward-facing, while the inner brows were raised, the nostrils dilated and the head lowered. During play, the lower lip was often depressed, the chin raised, lips parted, mouth stretched open wide, and the ears rotated and flattened backwards. In addition, the team noted that during play horses often had an increase in visible eye white, the nose was pushed forward, and the head tended to be up or turned to the right, or both.
“These results really highlight the importance of not relying on just one aspect of the face, such as the ears, to understand what the horse is trying to communicate,” Lewis said.
28. What is the main purpose of the research discussed in the text?
A. To argue that horses have no significant facial expressions.
B. To analyze horse facial expressions in different social contexts.
C. To compare horse facial expressions with those of other animals.
D. To prove that horses use ears as their primary means of communication.
29. Which facial movement is most likely seen when horses are engaged in friendly interactions?
A. Ears flattened backward. B. Lips tightly closed.
C. Nose pushed forward. D. Head lowered aggressively.
30. What can be inferred about horses’ facial expressions during aggressive encounters?
A. Showing relaxed ears and lowered brows.
B. Keeping their heads high and ears forward.
C. Opening their mouths wide while keeping ears upright.
D. Displaying flattened ears, raised brows, and lowered heads.
31. From the last paragraph, how should we interpret horse communication?
A. Horses use a variety of facial expressions, not just ears, to express emotions.
B. Ear movements only indicate playfulness, not aggression.
C. Ear movements are rarely noticeable in horses.
D Horses’ ears are not as expressive as their eyes.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于马面部表情的研究,该研究旨在分析马在不同社交情境下的面部表情,发现马会通过丰富复杂的面部表情进行交流,不同情境下有不同的典型面部动作,强调不能仅依靠耳朵来理解马试图传达的信息。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The team analysed 72 hours of filmed observations to explore which facial movements tended to occur in each context.(研究小组分析了72小时的拍摄观察资料,以探索在每种情境下马倾向于做出哪些面部动作)”以及第四、五段具体阐述马在友好互动、关注事物、攻击性遭遇、玩耍等不同情境下的面部表情可知,本文所讨论研究的主要目的是分析马在不同社交情境下的面部表情。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In particular, they found that during friendly, peaceful interactions with other horses, the animals tended to put their noses forward.(特别是,他们发现,在与其他马友好、平和的互动中,马往往会把鼻子向前伸)”可知,马在友好互动时最可能出现的面部动作是鼻子向前伸。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“During aggressive encounters, the ears tended to be flattened and backward - facing, while the inner brows were raised, the nostrils dilated and the head lowered.(在攻击性遭遇中,耳朵往往会向后平贴,内眉上扬,鼻孔张大,头低下)”可知,在攻击性遭遇时,马会表现出耳朵平贴、眉毛上扬和头低下的表情。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““These results really highlight the importance of not relying on just one aspect of the face, such as the ears, to understand what the horse is trying to communicate,” Lewis said.(刘易斯说:“这些结果真正强调了,为了理解马试图传达的信息,不能仅仅依赖于面部的一个方面,比如耳朵”)可知,马会使用多种面部表情,而不仅仅是耳朵来表达情感。故选A项。

Did you ever imagine that one day you can jump into a flying taxi, just like in the sci-fi movies, dashing among sky-scrapers and cities? On August 18, life took a closer step to fiction as a low-altitude passenger transport route opened, going from the Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the Kunshan City Terminal in neighboring Jiangsu Province. The trip, covering approximately 85 kilometers, took around 25 minutes.
As an economic concept, the low-altitude economy aims to take advantage of the unique resources of low-altitude airspace to develop general aviation (航空), and energize the related industries from the sky to the ground. The concept of low-altitude economy was first proposed by China, providing a theoretical contribution to the development of global general aviation. A common understanding is that low-altitude airspace is an equally important economic resource and engine of productivity as land and marine resources. Expanding low-altitude business will help China fully develop its general aviation.
With the innovative technology and products of general aviation, new types of aircraft, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles or flying cars, have emerged, all of which are designed for urban air mobility and further stimulating people’s imagination for future development. By using such products and models in urban low-altitude airspace, it can solve problem of urban and intercity traffic jams.
As traffic jams are a global challenge, the concept has attracted widespread attention from across the world. As China boasts many big cities, the low-altitude airspace faces greater demands and prospects across the country.
As for China, the government has also supported the promotion of its low-altitude economy. In March 2024, the low-altitude economy was pointed in the annual government work report as the new growth engine to foster emerging industries. In addition to government plans, many regions in China have also focused on developing their local low-altitude economy and making policies based on their region. For example, in China’s southern economic center of Shenzhen, the government has issued many supportive policies to promote the building of a low-altitude economy center. At present, it has developed nearly 100 commercial trial routes for drone (无人机) cargo flights in the city.
32. What does the underlined word “energize” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stimulate. B. Reduce. C. Attract. D. Protect.
33. What can we learn about the low-altitude economy?
A. It has fully developed in China. B. It has solved many traffic problems.
C. It was originally proposed by China. D. It is less important than land resources.
34. What is Shenzhen’s attitude towards the low-altitude economy?
A. Dismissive. B. Favourable. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Solution to Traffic Jams B. A New Economic Concept in China
C. A New Science Movie around the Globe D. A New Future-Oriented Transport Model
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】

【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“As an economic concept, the low-altitude economy aims to take advantage of the unique resources of low-altitude airspace to develop general aviation, and energize the related industries from the sky to the ground. (作为一种经济概念,低空经济旨在利用低空空域的独特资源发展通用航空,并从天空到地面energize相关产业)”可知,低空经济作为一种经济概念,旨在利用低空空域的独特资源,发展通用航空,结合下文“从天空到地面的相关产业”可知,energize在此处意为“激活,刺激”,与Stimulate意思相近。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The concept of low-altitude economy was first proposed by China, providing a theoretical contribution to the development of global general aviation. (低空经济的概念最早由中国提出,为全球通用航空的发展提供了理论贡献)”可知,低空经济的概念最早由中国提出。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For example, in China’s southern economic center of Shenzhen, the government has issued many supportive policies to promote the building of a low-altitude economy center. (例如,在中国南方的经济中心深圳,政府出台了许多支持政策,推动低空经济中心建设)”可知,深圳对低空经济的态度是支持的。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“On August 18, life took a closer step to fiction as a low-altitude passenger transport route opened, going from the Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the Kunshan City Terminal in neighboring Jiangsu Province. (8月18日,随着一条从上海浦东国际机场到邻近江苏省昆山市航站楼的低空客运航线开通,生活离科幻更近了一步)”以及文章内容可知,本文介绍了低空经济这种新的交通模式以及它对未来交通的影响,D选项“一种面向未来的新型交通模型”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

Jobs that require high levels of analytical and mathematical reasoning but low levels of relational skills have been declining because they are easier to automate. As a result, workers in positions requiring social skills are demanding higher wages. These trends line up with the fact that there has been a decrease in demand for jobs involving routine tasks. ___37___
Similarly, in a large research study referred to as Project Oxygen, Google examined what made the company’s employees good managers. ___38___ In fact, most successful managers were relational individuals who made time for one-to-one meetings, helped employees work through problems, and took an interest in their lives. The future belongs to those with relational intelligence. ___39___ The workplace increasingly values the skills that are typically nurtured in a preschool-like environment.
___40___ Maintaining a thirst for learning is like having a dependable compass in a shifting landscape. As technology hurdles forward, those who embrace learning will navigate the twists and turns of the modern job market with greater ease.
A. The assumption was that it was technical skills.
B. So it’s vital to instill these skills from an early age.
C. However, those that require the human touch are on the rise.
D. A curious and open attitude can also make you more adaptable.
E. Those with a strong love of learning become mentally engaged.
F. Love of learning is also gaining importance in the ever-evolving world of work.
G. Teamwork, for instance, is now considered very important in 8 of 10 occupations.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来所需职业技能倾向,社交关系至关重要,另外还应保持对学习的渴望。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Nearly all job growth since 1980 has been in position that are social-skill intensive.(自1980年以来,几乎所有的就业增长都出现在需要较强社交技能的工作岗位上)”可知,本句主要针对社交技能的重要性进行举例说明。故G选项“例如,团队合作如今在十种职业中的八种中都被认为非常重要”符合语境,故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Jobs that require high levels of analytical and mathematical reasoning but low levels of relational skills have been declining because they are easier to automate. As a result, workers in positions requiring social skills are demanding higher wages. These trends line up with the fact that there has been a decrease in demand for jobs involving routine tasks.(那些需要高度的分析和数学推理能力但不需要高人际交往能力的工作正在减少,因为这类工作更容易实现自动化。因此,需要社交技能的岗位上的员工要求更高的工资。这些趋势与涉及常规任务的工作需求减少这一事实相符)”可知,前两句指出 “低社交技能的岗位因易被自动化而减少”,“高社交技能岗位薪资上涨”,C选项中“those that require the human touch”(需要人际互动的岗位)与前文“social skills”形成同义替换,“on the rise”与“declining”形成对比,通过“However”转折,衔接“需求下降”与“需求上升”的对比关系。故C选项“然而,那些需要人际互动的工作正在增多”符合语境,故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Similarly, in a large research study referred to as Project Oxygen, Google examined what made the company’s employees good managers.(同样,在一项名为“氧气计划”的大型研究项目中,谷歌对公司的员工为何能成为优秀的管理者这一问题进行了研究)”以及后文“In fact, most successful managers were relational individuals who made time for one-to-one meetings, helped employees work through problems, and took an interest in their lives.(事实上,大多数成功的管理者都是善于与人交往的人,他们会抽出时间进行一对一的交流,帮助员工解决问题,并关心他们的生活)”可知,前句提到谷歌“Project Oxygen”研究优秀管理者的特质,后句转折指出“成功管理者多为善于人际关系的人”。A选项中的“assumption”(假设)对应研究初期的预期,“technical skills”与后文“relational individuals”形成反差,符合“先假设后推翻”的逻辑结构。故A选项“假设是这与技术技能有关”符合语境,故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“The future belongs to those with relational intelligence.(未来属于那些具备人际关系智能的人)”以及后文“The workplace increasingly values the skills that are typically nurtured in a preschool-like environment.(工作场所越来越重视那些通常在类似幼儿园的环境中所培养出来的技能)”可知,前句强调 “关系智慧(relational intelligence)”的重要性,后句提到“职场重视学前教育环境中培养的技能”。本句作为结论,衔接“关系智慧”与“学前教育培养 的因果关系。故B选项“所以从很小的时候就培养这些技能至关重要”符合语境,故选B。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Maintaining a thirst for learning is like having a dependable compass in a shifting landscape. As technology hurdles forward, those who embrace learning will navigate the twists and turns of the modern job market with greater ease.(保持对学习的渴望就好比在不断变化的环境中拥有一把可靠的指南针。随着技术的不断进步,那些积极追求学习的人将能够更加轻松地应对现代就业市场的起伏变化)”可知,段落首句需统领全段。后文围绕“保持学习热情”的重要性展开,F 选项“Love of learning is also gaining importance”直接点明主题,其中also呼应前文对“社交技能”的论述,引出新的讨论维度,与“maintaining a thirst for learning”形成原词复现。故F选项“学习的热情在不断变化的职场环境中也变得愈发重要”符合语境,故选F。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Social media haven’t just changed the places we go, but how we behave there.

Is this ___58___ anyone wants from travel, which has been celebrated for centuries as the way ___59___ (discover) cultures, destroy prejudice and cleanse the soul?
Phones put a barrier ___60___ tourists and destinations, actively preventing immersion (沉浸).

The true magic of travel is in those moments which can’t ___64___ (capture) on the phone, let alone turned into ___65___ social media post. It’s in the interactions with natives, the unexpected discoveries and the feeling of being in a place so different from home that it changes you.
【答案】56. taking
57. intention
58. what 59. to discover
60. between
61. helpful
62. locals 63. and
64. be captured
65. a
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了旅行的意义所在,而手机在游客和风景及文化之间设置了一道屏障,文章呼吁人们享受旅行中的文化互动和美丽风景,而不只是用手机拍照。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当一个人拍完照片后,另一个人就会接替。finish doing sth.为固定短语,意为“完成做某事”,所以空处应用动名词形式作宾语。故填taking。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:人们带着野餐(甚至帐篷)徒步前往风景区,而这些野餐(甚至帐篷)他们根本不打算用来做拍照以外的任何事情。have no intention of doing sth.为固定短语,意为“不打算做某事”,所以空处应用名词intention作宾语。故填intention。
【58题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这是人们想要从旅行中得到的吗?空处引导表语从句,从句缺少宾语,表示“……的东西”,应用连接代词what来引导。故填what。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:几个世纪以来,旅行一直被视为发现文化、消除偏见和净化灵魂的方式,这是人们想要从旅行中得到的吗?名词way后常跟动词不定式作后置定语,表示“……的方式”,所以空处应用不定式形式。故填to discover。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:手机在游客和目的地之间设置了一道屏障,积极地阻止了沉浸感。between...and...为固定短语,意为“在……和……之间”,所以空处应用介词between。故填between。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意:所有这些应用程序都很有帮助,但与当地人接触、注意文化差异以及真正领略风景都有一种魔力。空处用于系动词are之后,应用形容词helpful作表语,表示“有帮助的”。故填helpful。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:所有这些应用程序都很有帮助,但与当地人接触、注意文化差异以及真正领略风景都有一种魔力。local为可数名词,表示“当地人”,结合语境可知,当地人不止一个,所以空处应用名词复数形式。故填locals。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:它把游客从欣赏美丽的风景中拉走,同时也降低了他们与当地社区和文化真正联系的能力。结合语意可知,“It’s pulling travellers away from enjoying the beautiful scenery”与“it is also reducing their ability to really connect with local communities and culture”之间是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
【64题详解】
考查语态。句意:旅行的真正魅力在于那些无法用手机捕捉到的时刻,更不用说变成社交媒体帖子了。which引导定语从句,修饰先行词moments,从句中缺少谓语,capture与主语moments之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,情态动词can’t后接动词原形。故填be captured。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:旅行的真正魅力在于那些无法用手机捕捉到的时刻,更不用说变成社交媒体帖子了。post为可数名词,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词修饰,且social是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a。故填a。

67. 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。
Alma, shy and quiet, started ninth grade in a high school in the center of the town. Never had she imagined loneliness would wrap around her like a shadow. Soon she found herself dreaming of her old eight-grade class, which had been small, but warm and familiar. For her, this new school was much too cold, unfriendly, and indifferent.
Each morning, Alma’s stomach twisted as she pushed through the heavy school doors. Students brushed past her without a glance as if she were invisible. No one at this school seemed to care whether she belonged or not. Though she was caring and kind-hearted, her shy voice was always caught in her throat and her eyes were downcast when she tried to say something, which particularly became a barrier to friendship.
The few classmates did notice her existence only when they needed something — a pencil to borrow, or favors that never returned. Tammy, her “so-called” closest friend, who was busy with her speech competition, smiled only when she needed answers for a test or help with her homework. Day after day, she moved through the halls like a ghost, unheard and unseen. Slowly, she began to believe her thoughts weren’t good enough to be heard. So she continued to stay quiet and almost mute. This pushed Alma closer to the edge.
Her parents grew increasingly worried about her, for they feared she would never make friends. Her parents tried everything they could to help her fit in. However, it still didn’t work. Night after night, she cried herself to sleep and was convinced that no one would ever truly care for her and love her enough to be her real friend.
As that semester was coming to an end, Alma decided to take one last chance. With trembling hands, she signed up for the Speech Club, though she expected nothing.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

One afternoon, a card on her desk caught her eyes.

From that day on, Alma’s world began to change.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One afternoon, a card on her desk caught her eyes. With curiosity, she opened it, surprisingly finding that it was the card from Tammy, which noted, “Hi, Alma! I’m terribly sorry for not caring about you due to my speech competition preparation. I’m happy to know that you signed up for the Speech Club. Let’s embark on a journey of speech exploration together! Your forever friend!” These words pierced straight into her soul. For the first time, she realized someone actually cared for her. Holding the handmade card with a blooming sunflower painted on the front, Alma felt deeply moved, excited and happy tears welling up.
From that day on, Alma’s world began to change. She began to feel hopeful about her new school life. In the Speech Club, Tammy helped her a lot, they devoted themselves to improving their speech skills. Alma volunteered to help the classmates in need, never asking for anything in return, her caring as well as kind-hearted qualities won her many friends. Most importantly, the “cold, unfriendly, and indifferent” school faded into memory. Instead, she discovered a warm and familiar school—one where she was truly seen and heard.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Alma在新学校孤独无助,渴望友谊却难以开口,最终在学期末鼓起勇气加入演讲俱乐部的故事。
详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一天下午,她桌上的一张卡片吸引了她的目光。”可知,第一段可描写Alma收到卡片后,发现是Tammy的道歉,她深受感动,意识到有人在乎她。
②由第二段首句内容“从那天起,Alma的世界开始改变。”可知,第二段可描写Alma开始对学校生活充满希望,在演讲俱乐部得到Tammy的帮助,结交了许多朋友,发现了温暖熟悉的学校。
2.续写线索:收到卡片——深受感动——开始改变——得到帮助——结交朋友——发现温暖

Places that Forbid You from Taking Pictures
Neuschwanstein Castle
Also called “the castle of the fairy-tale king” this 19th-century palace is among the most visited castles in Germany and the world. Sadly, no photography or filming is allowed inside, but at least you can capture its Disney princess castle vibes (景象) from the outside.
Tower of London
There’s a lot to see in the Tower of London: the architecture, historic artifacts, and the Beefeater tour. Arguably the most prized feature is the Jewel House, which has housed the exquisite (精美绝伦的) Crown Jewels since 1661. Sadly, you can’t take photos of the Crown Jewels for security reasons. And with the frightening security guards watching your every move as you walk through the Jewel House, you won’t want to even try.
Taj Mahal
Many people incorrectly think that the Taj Mahal in India is a mosque (清真寺) or a palace. In reality it’s a tomb, commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to hold the remains of his late wife. As such, photography is prohibited inside the tomb, and visitors are asked to keep quiet while inside.
Eiffel Tower
If you’re planning a romantic getaway to Paris, don’t think about posting a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower after dark. Taking nighttime photos of the Eiffel Tower is technically illegal, but the issue isn’t with the building itself. The light show on the Eiffel Tower, installed by Pierre Bideau in 1985, is actually an artistic display and protected by copyright, Snopes.com explains.
21. What do Neuschwanstein Castle and Taj Mahal have in common?
A. They are both located in India. B. They are palaces with fairy tales.
C. They prohibit taking photos indoors. D. They house invaluable historic artifacts.
22. What can visitors enjoy in Tower of London?
A. The modern architecture. B. Worldwide jewels.
C. Yummy beef. D. A guided tour.
23. In which place does taking photos break the law?
A. Neuschwanstein Castle. B. Tower of London.
C. Taj Mahal. D. Eiffel Tower.

The Inspiring Life Lessons Harry Potter Taught Us
The wizarding world of Harry Potter has fascinated and attracted all ages for over two decades. With seven books and eight movies, this series has brought in over $24 billion in revenue worldwide. Besides the amusing characters and creative plot lines, the Harry Potter series has taught strong life lessons that apply to Muggles (麻瓜). Take a look at a few of the life lessons from the wizarding world.
People are complicated. Fairytales teach children that the world is only split into good and bad people. The Harry Potter series, however, make the characters alive by giving them multi-faceted (多层次的) personalities and changeable emotions. Take Harry for example: loyal, brave, kind, yet has moments of selfish impulsivity (冲动). Ron, for all his traits (特征) that most men have, as Hermione puts it, “the emotional range of a teaspoon”. Even Hermione’s fierce intelligence can sometimes seem bossy and overpowering. If learning that no one is perfect isn’t a good life lesson for young people, then what is?
True friendship is invaluable. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are arguably the most famous friends in literary history. Throughout the novels, their friendship is tested but always survives, stronger than ever. Yet through it all we learn the most important lesson: don’t take your friends for granted because they will be there through anything life throws at you.
Other important life lessons we can learn from the Harry Potter series are: bravery comes in many forms. Competence is worth more than reputation. Virtue isn’t determined by abilities, but by choices. Always treat those below you with kindness.
24. How many life lessons did Harry Potter teach us in this article?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Six.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Everyone is imperfect.
B. Ron has many special features.
C. Harry has more strengths than shortcomings.
D. People are neither purely good nor evil in fairy tales.
26. What makes the friendship between Harry and his friends invaluable?
A. The tests of survival. B. The things happening in life.
C. The hardships dealt with together. D. The arguments Harry put forward.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A fantasy fiction. B. A literary magazine.
C. A news report. D. An academic journal.
C
While facial movements can help members of the same species communicate emotions or other signals to each other, they can also be important for inter-species understanding. In horses, for example, ear movements have long been viewed as important indicators of their internal state. However, the new work suggests there are many more signals to look out for.
“Horses produce a rich and complex facial expressions and we should not overlook the little differences in these if we want to truly understand the subjective experiences of horses,” said Dr. Kate Lewis, the first author of the research, from the University of Portsmouth.
The team analysed 72 hours of filmed observations to explore which facial movements tended to occur in each context. “The beauty of what we did here is that we were systematic in how we documented the facial expressions, and that we covered a broad range of naturally occuring behaviours,” Lewis said.
While the researchers found that almost all facial movements occurred in all of the different contexts, some were more specific to certain types of interaction. In particular, they found that during friendly, peaceful interactions with other horses, the animals tended to put their noses forward. By contrast, when paying attention to something, the horses’ ears were typically forward and pulled together.
During aggressive encounters, the ears tended to be flattened and backward-facing, while the inner brows were raised, the nostrils dilated and the head lowered. During play, the lower lip was often depressed, the chin raised, lips parted, mouth stretched open wide, and the ears rotated and flattened backwards. In addition, the team noted that during play horses often had an increase in visible eye white, the nose was pushed forward, and the head tended to be up or turned to the right, or both.
“These results really highlight the importance of not relying on just one aspect of the face, such as the ears, to understand what the horse is trying to communicate,” Lewis said.
28. What is the main purpose of the research discussed in the text?
A. To argue that horses have no significant facial expressions.
B. To analyze horse facial expressions in different social contexts.
C. To compare horse facial expressions with those of other animals.
D. To prove that horses use ears as their primary means of communication.
29. Which facial movement is most likely seen when horses are engaged in friendly interactions?
A. Ears flattened backward. B. Lips tightly closed.
C. Nose pushed forward. D. Head lowered aggressively.
30. What can be inferred about horses’ facial expressions during aggressive encounters?
A. Showing relaxed ears and lowered brows.
B. Keeping their heads high and ears forward.
C. Opening their mouths wide while keeping ears upright.
D. Displaying flattened ears, raised brows, and lowered heads.
31. From the last paragraph, how should we interpret horse communication?
A. Horses use a variety of facial expressions, not just ears, to express emotions.
B. Ear movements only indicate playfulness, not aggression.
C. Ear movements are rarely noticeable in horses.
D. Horses’ ears are not as expressive as their eyes.
D
Did you ever imagine that one day you can jump into a flying taxi, just like in the sci-fi movies, dashing among sky-scrapers and cities? On August 18, life took a closer step to fiction as a low-altitude passenger transport route opened, going from the Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the Kunshan City Terminal in neighboring Jiangsu Province. The trip, covering approximately 85 kilometers, took around 25 minutes.
As an economic concept, the low-altitude economy aims to take advantage of the unique resources of low-altitude airspace to develop general aviation (航空), and energize the related industries from the sky to the ground. The concept of low-altitude economy was first proposed by China, providing a theoretical contribution to the development of global general aviation. A common understanding is that low-altitude airspace is an equally important economic resource and engine of productivity as land and marine resources. Expanding low-altitude business will help China fully develop its general aviation.
With the innovative technology and products of general aviation, new types of aircraft, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles or flying cars, have emerged, all of which are designed for urban air mobility and further stimulating people’s imagination for future development. By using such products and models in urban low-altitude airspace, it can solve problem of urban and intercity traffic jams.
As traffic jams are a global challenge, the concept has attracted widespread attention from across the world. As China boasts many big cities, the low-altitude airspace faces greater demands and prospects across the country.
As for China, the government has also supported the promotion of its low-altitude economy. In March 2024, the low-altitude economy was pointed in the annual government work report as the new growth engine to foster emerging industries. In addition to government plans, many regions in China have also focused on developing their local low-altitude economy and making policies based on their region. For example, in China’s southern economic center of Shenzhen, the government has issued many supportive policies to promote the building of a low-altitude economy center. At present, it has developed nearly 100 commercial trial routes for drone (无人机) cargo flights in the city.
32. What does the underlined word “energize” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stimulate. B. Reduce. C. Attract. D. Protect.
33. What can we learn about the low-altitude economy?
A. It has fully developed in China. B. It has solved many traffic problems.
C. It was originally proposed by China. D. It is less important than land resources.
34. What is Shenzhen’s attitude towards the low-altitude economy?
A. Dismissive. B. Favourable. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Solution to Traffic Jams B. A New Economic Concept in China
C. A New Science Movie around the Globe D. A New Future-Oriented Transport Model

Nearly all job growth since 1980 has been in position that are social-skill intensive. ___36___ Not surprisingly, a Stanford study shows that people working collaboratively persist on a task for 64% longer than those working individually on the same task, and they exhibit higher levels of engagement.
Jobs that require high levels of analytical and mathematical reasoning but low levels of relational skills have been declining because they are easier to automate. As a result, workers in positions requiring social skills are demanding higher wages. These trends line up with the fact that there has been a decrease in demand for jobs involving routine tasks. ___37___
Similarly, in a large research study referred to as Project Oxygen, Google examined what made the company’s employees good managers. ___38___ In fact, most successful managers were relational individuals who made time for one-to-one meetings, helped employees work through problems, and took an interest in their lives. The future belongs to those with relational intelligence. ___39___ The workplace increasingly values the skills that are typically nurtured in a preschool-like environment.
___40___ Maintaining a thirst for learning is like having a dependable compass in a shifting landscape. As technology hurdles forward, those who embrace learning will navigate the twists and turns of the modern job market with greater ease.
A. The assumption was that it was technical skills.
B. So it’s vital to instill these skills from an early age.
C. However, those that require the human touch are on the rise.
D. A curious and open attitude can also make you more adaptable.
E. Those with a strong love of learning become mentally engaged.

Alma, shy and quiet, started ninth grade in a high school in the center of the town. Never had she imagined loneliness would wrap around her like a shadow. Soon she found herself dreaming of her old eight-grade class, which had been small, but warm and familiar. For her, this new school was much too cold, unfriendly, and indifferent.
Each morning, Alma’s stomach twisted as she pushed through the heavy school doors. Students brushed past her without a glance as if she were invisible. No one at this school seemed to care whether she belonged or not. Though she was caring and kind-hearted, her shy voice was always caught in her throat and her eyes were downcast when she tried to say something, which particularly became a barrier to friendship.
The few classmates did notice her existence only when they needed something — a pencil to borrow, or favors that never returned. Tammy, her “so-called” closest friend, who was busy with her speech competition, smiled only when she needed answers for a test or help with her homework. Day after day, she moved through the halls like a ghost, unheard and unseen. Slowly, she began to believe her thoughts weren’t good enough to be heard. So she continued to stay quiet and almost mute. This pushed Alma closer to the edge.
Her parents grew increasingly worried about her, for they feared she would never make friends. Her parents tried everything they could to help her fit in. However, it still didn’t work. Night after night, she cried herself to sleep and was convinced that no one would ever truly care for her and love her enough to be her real friend.
As that semester was coming to an end, Alma decided to take one last chance. With trembling hands, she signed up for the Speech Club, though she expected nothing.
注意:
