Habitat 67(Montreal, Canada) Habitat 67's unique architecture was designed by a young Canadian-Israeli immigrant named Moshe Safdie for Montreal's 1967 Universal Exposition (博览会). The building was designed to integrate the advantages of suburban living — namely privacy, gardens and multiple floors — in an urban environment. Sagrada Familia(Barcelona, Spain) When modernist architect Antoni Gaudi took the reins in 1883, a year after the construction began, he turned just another church into his masterpiece. Its complex designs and themes make the Sagrada Familia among the most unique architecture in the world. When it's finally finished in 2026, its iconic design will have long since been established as one of the great achievements of architecture. Longaberger Basket Building(Newark, America) There are plenty of buildings out there that reflect their purpose, like the Kansas City library that looks like a row of books. The Longaberger Basket Building is one of this kind. Head office of the Longaberger Company produces baskets which can be found around the world. The Longaberger founder's son wanted all the other Longaberger buildings to look like its products too. Atomium(Brussels, Belgium) Another example of an offbeat construction for a World's Fair, the Atomium was built for the 1958 edition of the Universal Exposition held in Brussels, Belgium by André Waterkeyn. Unlike Habitat 67, it wasn't meant to be a residential building. Instead it contains exhibition rooms and public halls. The building itself is designed to be a copy of the structure of iron crystal. 1. Which of the following building hasn't been completed by now? A. Habitat 67. B. Sagrada Familia. C. Longaberger Basket Building. D. Atomium. 2. What does Longaberger Basket Building look like? A. A basket. B. A garden. C. A row of books. D. An iron crystal. 3. What do Habitat 67 and Atomium have in common? A. They are residential buildings. B. They were built for World's Fairs. C. They were designed by Moshe Safdie. D. They contain exhibition rooms and public halls. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上四种独特的建筑。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Sagrada Familia(Barcelona, Spain)部分“When it's finally finished in 2026, its iconic design will have long since been established as one of the great achievements of architecture. (当它最终于2026年完工时，它的标志性建筑将早已成为建筑史上最伟大的成就之一。)”可知，Sagrada Familia目前还没完工，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Longaberger Basket Building(Newark, America)部分“Head office of the Longaberger Company produces baskets which can be found around the world. The Longaberger founder's son wanted all the other Longaberger buildings to look like its products too. (Longaberger公司总部生产的篮子在世界各地都能找到。Longaberger创始人的儿子希望所有其他Longaberger建筑看起来像它的产品。)”可知，Longaberger的建筑看起来像它自己的产品，也就是篮子，故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Habitat 67(Montreal, Canada)部分“Habitat 67's unique architecture was designed by a young Canadian-Israeli immigrant named Moshe Safdie for Montreal's 1967 Universal Exposition (博览会). (Habitat 67独特的建筑是由一名叫Moshe Safdie的加拿大裔以色列年轻移民设计师设计的，是为1967年的蒙特利尔世界博览会而建造的。)”和Atomium(Brussels, Belgium)部分“Another example of an offbeat construction for a World's Fair, the Atomium was built for the 1958 edition of the Universal Exposition held in Brussels, Belgium by André Waterkeyn. (另一个为世界博览会而建造的另类建筑例子Atomium，它是设计师André Waterkeyn为1985年在比利时布鲁塞尔举行的世界博览会建造的。)”可知，这两个建筑都是为了世界博览会而修建的，故选B。 B In a heartwarming tale from Georgia, a 72-year-old senior recently celebrated his college graduation in cinema studies, an achievement made even more special by the presence of his proud 99-year-old mother. Sam Kaplan of Lawrenceville decided to start on his educational journey at Georgia Gwinnett College in 2019, half a century after he had firstly chosen not to get higher education following his high school graduation in 1969. The catalyst for his return to academia came when he heard a radio announcement about a degree programme in cinema studies. Recalling that moment, Kaplan said, “I was driving down the highway when I heard about the degree programme. The next exit led to Collinsville, so I immediately exited, and within five minutes, I was enrolling in classes. I’ve always had a passion for writing and storytelling. I longed to transform my narratives into screenplays, but I realized I needed the basic knowledge to do so,” Kaplan admitted that the journey was a mix of anxiety and excitement, but it proved to be greatly rewarding. He graduated with a 3.975 grade point average and perfect grade honours, majoring in cinema and media arts, and had desires to continue creating screenplays in the future. “It was an exciting and nerve-wracking (神经紧张的) challenge. Re-recognizing myself with the art of studying and communicating with fellow students was a lot of fun,” he told FOX5 Atlanta. The most heartwarming thing of Kaplan’s graduation day was the presence of his mother, 99-year-old Virginia Kaplan, during the ceremony. Virginia expressed her huge pride, saying, “I am so proud of him. He faced numerous challenges but insisted, and I am delighted, pleased, and extremely proud,” the mother also added. “With his new degree, he’s going to stand out in whatever he does. Who knows, I might even make an appearance in the movies.” 4. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To provide some background. B. To tell the main idea. C. To serve as a comment. D. To offer an example. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Reason. B. Vehicle. C. Task. D. Fact. 6. What do we infer from the last paragraph? A. The mother desires to star in a film. B. Kaplan takes much pride in himself. C. Kaplan is excellent at whatever he does. D. The mother offers the unshakeable support. 7. What can we conclude from the text? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. It’s never too late to follow a dream. C. The good seaman is known in bad weather. D. All things in their being are good for something. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位72岁的高龄老人出席了他在电影研究专业的大学毕业典礼，而他99岁母亲在场见证他的成就，为他感到自豪。这证明追求梦想永远不会太迟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a heartwarming tale from Georgia, a 72-year-old senior recently celebrated his college graduation in cinema studies, an achievement made even more special by the presence of his proud 99-year-old mother.(乔治亚州发生了一个感人的故事，一名72岁的大四学生最近庆祝了他电影专业的大学毕业，而他99岁的母亲也在场，这一成就显得更加特别)”以及全文讲述可知，全文就是主要讲述了这位老人重返校园的具体情况，所以第一段概括介绍了全文的大意。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。该划线词在句中作主语，根据画线词后“...when he heard a radio announcement about a degree programme in cinema studies(当他在广播中听到一则关于电影研究学位课程的公告)”和第三段的“I was driving down the highway when I heard about the degree programme. The next exit led to Collinsville, so I immediately exited, and within five minutes, I was enrolling in classes.(当我听说这个学位项目时，我正在高速公路上开车。下一个出口通向柯林斯维尔，所以我立刻走了出去，不到五分钟，我就开始上课了)”可知，此处他在广播中听到一则关于电影研究学位课程的公告是他重返学术界的诱因。所以 A 项“reason”符合原意。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Virginia expressed her huge pride, saying, ‘I am so proud of him. He faced numerous challenges but insisted, and I am delighted, pleased, and extremely proud,’ the mother also added. ‘With his new degree, he’s going to stand out in whatever he does. Who knows, I might even make an appearance in the movies.’(维吉尼亚表达了她巨大的骄傲：‘我为他感到骄傲。他面临过无数的挑战，但他坚持了下来，我很高兴，很满意，也非常自豪。’这位母亲又补充说道，‘有了新学位，他无论做什么都会脱颖而出。谁知道呢，说不定我还会出演电影呢’)”可知，这位99岁的母亲对儿子做的事情非常地支持，给予了坚定的支持。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a heartwarming tale from Georgia, a 72-year-old senior recently celebrated his college graduation in cinema studies, an achievement made even more special by the presence of his proud 99-year-old mother.(乔治亚州发生了一个感人的故事，一名72岁的大四学生最近庆祝了他电影专业的大学毕业，而他99岁的母亲也在场，这一成就显得更加特别)”所介绍的文章大意以及全文讲述可知，一位72岁的高龄老人重返校园在电影研究专业大学毕业，有可能会实现自己拍摄电影的梦想，而他99岁骄傲的母亲在场，使这一成就变得更加特别。我们可以从中感悟到追求梦想永远不会太迟，年龄不是问题。故选B项。 C Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine. Researchers have used it for various treatments, including helping burn victims and fixing problems related to the stomach and heart. Inspired by colleagues in other medical fields, Mirza Melo, an eye doctor for animals in Brazil, decided to try using tilapia skin to treat eye problems in dogs. She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. “These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often.” Normally, doctors treat these eye injuries by placing a piece of horse placenta (胎盘) over the damaged area to help it recover. But in 2019, Melo tried using tilapia skin instead. She successfully treated a Shih Tzu (a species of dog) with a severe eye injury. Brazil’s Burn Support Institute and the Federal University of Ceará, which started the Tilapia Skin Project to treat burns, supported her work. With their help, Melo developed a special membrane (膜) called the acellular dermal matrix (ADM), made from pure collagen taken from tilapia skin. Collagen is known to help cells grow and repair tissues. Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight. So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat. 8. Why is Tilapia popular in medicine? A. For its eyes. B. For its skin. C. For its blood. D. For its oil. 9. What makes the dogs with short noses frequently get injured? A. Their eyes’ position. B. Their playful nature. C. Their active movement. D. Their hair’s length. 10. What can we infer about horse placental collagen? A. It is only related to horses’ weight. B. It is easier to obtain than tilapia collagen. C. It is not affected by horses’ type and weight. D It is not always available at any stage of horses’ growth. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Melo’s concern for tilapia B. Melo’s confidence in teaching. C. The characteristic of tilapia’s collagen. D. The application of tilapia’s collagen. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了巴西的一位动物眼科医生Mirza Melo受到其他医学领域同事的启发，尝试使用罗非鱼皮来治疗狗的眼部问题，并详细介绍了罗非鱼皮中的胶原蛋白在治疗中的应用及其优势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine.(罗非鱼皮富含胶原蛋白，这是一种有助于生成和修复组织的蛋白质。正因如此，罗非鱼皮在医学领域日益受到青睐)”可知，罗非鱼皮富含胶原蛋白，这种蛋白质有助于生成和修复组织，所以罗非鱼皮在医学领域受到欢迎。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. “These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often.”(她主要关注角膜溃疡和穿孔等眼部问题，这些问题在短鼻犬中较为常见。“这些狗的眼睛凸出于面部，”她说，“所以它们经常受伤。”)”可知，短鼻犬的眼睛凸出于面部，这种眼睛的位置导致它们经常受伤。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight.(罗非鱼在其一生中，鱼皮中的胶原蛋白质量始终保持在较高水平且稳定，而马胎盘胶原蛋白的质量则会因马的年龄和体重而异)”可知，因为马胎盘胶原蛋白的质量受马的年龄和体重等因素影响，这意味着在马生长的不同阶段，马胎盘胶原蛋白的质量不稳定，可能并非在任何阶段都能稳定获取到符合要求的马胎盘胶原蛋白。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat.(到目前为止，Melo已经用罗非鱼皮治疗了 400 多只狗。术后，这些狗没有表现出疼痛或感染症状，并且愈合迅速，疤痕极小。Melo现在计划将这种技术应用于猫，甚至正在探讨如何将其改进后用于治疗极其敏感且治疗难度大的人类眼部疾病)”可知，最后一段指出Melo已经用罗非鱼皮治疗了 400 多只狗，且效果良好，还计划将该技术应用于猫，甚至探讨用于治疗人类眼部疾病，这一系列内容都在围绕罗非鱼皮胶原蛋白的应用展开。故选D。 D If you’ve noticed you’re getting less while your bill almost stays the same, it’s not just you. “Shrinkflation” — reducing a product’s size or quantity while keeping its price stable — is showing up in shops around the world. As the global economy struggles with inflation (通货膨胀), rising material costs and higher human cost, consumers are bearing the increasing production prices. “Consumers are more likely to notice how their purchases are affecting their wallets than the amount of product lost when sizes decrease,” says Mark Stiving, the chief pricing educator at Impact Pricing. As a result, companies use shrinkflation to make consumers “less painful”. Yet even as shrinkflation comes with inflation, the problem doesn’t end after inflation does. Once the new sizes are on the shelf, they are likely to stay that way. “Shoppers don’t have a choice. They have to adapt themselves to the changes,” adds Stiving. There are rare exceptions, but companies generally take the opportunity to get more profits. For many companies, shrinkflation seems to be unavoidable. In food industry, for example, where customers are highly sensitive to price, lifting prices might make customers jump ship to another brand. But facing the continuous inflation, the companies have to do something to maintain their profits. Introducing small reduction in the size of their goods should enable them to improve profits while keeping their prices competitive. But once customers notice the change, they might feel fooled, leading to a loss of trust and confidence. Some grocers are using stickers to remind shoppers of shrinkflation, but still, it’s a tough hit to the bottom line — especially because the price of products generally doesn’t fall as inflation does. Consumers may need to examine both price and size sensibly as they shop, and make sure they don’t fall into the trap of that super size on the shelf. 12. Why does shrinkflation make consumers “less painful” according to Stiving? A. Shrinkflation reduces human cost. B. Shrinkflation raises purchasing power. C. Consumers become more aware of size. D. Consumers experience little increase in cost. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The concerns of shoppers. B. The interests of companies. C. The impact of shrinkflation. D. The phenomenon of inflation. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the shrinkflation in paragraph 4? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear. 15. What should consumers do according to the last paragraph? A. Draw a bottom line. B. Put warning stickers. C. Choose smaller packs. D. Make a conscious decision. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述一种经济学现象：缩水式通货膨胀，及其原因和影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Consumers are more likely to notice how their purchases are affecting their wallets than the amount of product lost when sizes decrease,’ says Mark Stiving, the chief pricing educator at Impact Pricing. As a result, companies use shrinkflation to make consumers ‘less painful’.(Impact pricing的首席定价教育专家Mark Stiving表示：‘当尺寸减小时，消费者更有可能注意到他们的购买对他们钱包的影响，而不是产品损失的数量。’因此，企业利用缩水式通胀让消费者‘不那么痛苦’)”可知，相比于商品尺寸的减少，消费者更关注价格的波动，因此，缩水式通货膨胀来使消费者成本几乎没有增加，从而“不那么痛苦”，故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，结合前两句“Yet even as shrinkflation comes with inflation, the problem doesn’t end after inflation does. Once the new sizes are on the shelf, they are likely to stay that way.(然而，即使缩水式通胀伴随着通胀而来，问题也不会在通胀结束后才结束。一旦新尺码上市，它们很可能会一直保持这种状态)”可知，本段主要讲述缩水式通货膨胀的后续影响，即产品的尺寸一旦减少，后续可能很难再变回来，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For many companies, shrinkflation seems to be unavoidable. In food industry, for example, where customers are highly sensitive to price, lifting prices might make customers jump ship to another brand. But facing the continuous inflation, the companies have to do something to maintain their profits. Introducing small reduction in the size of their goods should enable them to improve profits while keeping their prices competitive. But once customers notice the change, they might feel fooled, leading to a loss of trust and confidence.(对许多公司来说，缩水式通胀似乎是不可避免的。例如，在消费者对价格高度敏感的食品行业，提高价格可能会让消费者跳槽到另一个品牌。但是面对持续的通货膨胀，公司不得不做些什么来维持他们的利润。把产品的尺寸缩小一点可以使他们在保持价格竞争力的同时提高利润。但是，一旦客户注意到这种变化，他们可能会觉得自己被愚弄了，从而导致信任和信心的丧失)”可知，作者在本段中提到迫于市场的诸多因素，对许多公司来说缩水式通货膨胀是无法避免的，这可以保证其公司在市场的竞争力。但消费者可能会感觉受到了欺骗，导致信任和信心的丧失。因此，作者对于缩水式通货膨胀的态度是客观的，既指出了其带来的问题，也指出了其对公司的好处，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Consumers may need to examine both price and size sensibly as they shop, and make sure they don’t fall into the trap of that super size on the shelf.(消费者在购物时可能需要理智地检查价格和尺码，并确保自己不会落入货架上超大尺码的陷阱)”可知，本段提到消费者在购物时需要明智地考虑价格和尺寸，确保自己不会陷入价格陷阱。因此，消费者应该做出明智的决定，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。 If you are a perfectionist, you follow high standards and always try to do everything well. ___16___ Researchers find pursuing perfection can have serious effects on mental health.

However, others believe that perfectionism is not adaptive and they don’t think it is beneficial. So what can perfectionists do to change their behavior? Psychologists point out that giving up on perfection does not necessarily mean less success. ___19___ A possible alternative to perfectionism is what psychologists call a growth mindset. Unlike those with a fixed mindset, those with a growth mindset believe that they can improve their abilities by learning from their mistakes. ___20___ To understand self-sympathy, think about how you would respond to a close friend if they made a mistake. It is likely that you will respond with kindness and understanding, knowing that your friend is doing it out of good intentions. A. Another is to cultivate sympathy for oneself. B. Psychologists have heated debates over this issue. C. In the long run, accepting imperfection can actually help. D. Perfectionism can be beneficial in some certain situations. E.

They found high levels of perfectionism often increased depression. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了完美主义者的特点以及给人带来的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If you are a perfectionist, you follow high standards and always try to do everything well.(如果你是一个完美主义者，你遵循高标准，总是试图把每件事都做好)”以及后文“Researchers find pursuing perfection can have serious effects on mental health. (研究人员发现追求完美会对心理健康产生严重影响)”可知，上文提到完美主义者遵循高标准，本句为过渡句，指出高标准和完美主义之间存在区别，E选项中High standards对应上文high standards。故E选项“高标准是一回事，完美主义是另一回事”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“In a 2016 study, researchers studied the relationship between perfectionism and depression over time.(在2016年的一项研究中，研究人员研究了完美主义与抑郁之间的关系)”可知，本句承接上文，说明完美主义和抑郁之间的关系是怎样的。故G选项“他们发现高度的完美主义往往会增加抑郁”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Is perfectionism always harmful?(完美主义总是有害的吗？)”以及后文“Some suggest the possibility of adaptive perfectionism, where people stick to high standards without self-criticism of their own mistakes. However, others believe that perfectionism is not adaptive and they don’t think it is beneficial.(一些人提出了适应性完美主义的可能性，即人们坚持高标准，而不对自己的错误进行自我批评。然而，其他人认为完美主义是不适应的，他们不认为它是有益的)”可知，后文主要说明了人们对上文的问题有不同的看法，即发生了争论。故B选项“心理学家对这个问题进行了激烈的争论”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“So what can perfectionists do to change their behavior? Psychologists point out that giving up on perfection does not necessarily mean less success.(那么完美主义者能做些什么来改变他们的行为呢？心理学家指出，放弃追求完美并不意味着更少的成功)”以及后文“A possible alternative to perfectionism is what psychologists call a growth mindset. Unlike those with a fixed mindset, those with a growth mindset believe that they can improve their abilities by learning from their mistakes.(完美主义的另一种可能选择是心理学家所说的成长型心态。与固定心态的人不同，成长心态的人相信他们可以通过从错误中学习来提高自己的能力)”可知，本句承接上文，具体说明应该如何改变完美主义。故C选项“从长远来看，接受不完美实际上是有帮助的”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据后文“To understand self-sympathy, think about how you would respond to a close friend if they made a mistake. It is likely that you will respond with kindness and understanding, knowing that your friend is doing it out of good intentions.(为了理解自我同情，想想如果一个亲密的朋友犯了错误，你会如何回应。你很可能会以善意和理解回应，因为你知道你的朋友这样做是出于好意)”可知，后文提到了要自我同情，A选项sympathy for oneself对应后文self-sympathy。故A选项“另一个是培养对自己的同情”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I never planned on learning Chinese.

My mother had a fixed idea that I would become a teacher, too. Although I respected her and was indeed skilled at teaching something to my little cousins, I didn’t agree that I should naturally follow in my mother’s footsteps. When I was a teenager, my mother happened to take me to a hospital which was run by one of her friends. It was the first time I had seen a busy medical environment in real life in person. Finding that I was curious about treating patients, my mother’s friend Dr. Lee offered me an opportunity to shadow him (跟他实地参观) for a day. I eagerly accepted his offer! Observing the doctors and nurses in action, I felt a mix of anxiety and excitement. Seeing the healing (治愈) process and the impact of medical care on patients was a profoundly moving experience. I figured being a doctor would be the most rewarding career in the world. From that day, a thought formed in my mind that I wanted to become a doctor, but I doubted whether my mother would support me. After all, it was a completely different path from what she had planned for me. Therefore, I kept the thought to myself, because I knew she would still insist on holding onto her previous idea. Anyway, besides discussing with my mother about teaching, I would often visit Dr. Lee’s hospital. Gradually, I got familiar with the medical equipment and procedures, and I learned a lot about healthcare, such as how to take vital signs (测生命体征), how to assist in minor surgeries, and so on. But what I had learned in the hospital just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional doctor. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 This time I would not hide my desire any more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the graduation ceremony, with my mother present, I, as “Excellent Graduate”, had to deliver a speech. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 This time I would not hide my desire any more. Determined to follow my heart, I explained to my mother how I felt. I told her that I wanted to go to college to learn to be a doctor instead of being a teacher. After saying this, I waited nervously for her reaction. To my surprise, she approved of my request, and she told me she was moved by my perseverance. With her support and my efforts, I was admitted into my ideal college. At the graduation ceremony, with my mother present, I, as “Excellent Graduate”, had to deliver a speech. In my speech, I shared with the audience my story about how a teenager realized her dream. Faced with difficulties, I took a path that led me to do something that needed passion, training and practice. I also owed my success to my mother’s support. Without her understanding, I couldn’t have pursued my dream. At the end of my speech, I spotted my mother’s watery eyes, and said, “Mom, I made it!” Her face lit up with pride. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家人全是教师，家人也希望作者成为一名教师，而作者在医院进行参观学习以后，决定成为医生。母亲也支持了作者追求自己的梦想，最后作者在毕业典礼的演讲上表达对母亲的感激。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一次我不会再隐藏我的欲望了”可知，第一段可描写作者向目前说明自己的梦想，以及母亲支持作者追求梦想。 ②由第二段首句内容“在毕业典礼上，我的母亲在场，我，作为“优秀毕业生”，必须发表演讲”可知，第二段可描写作者发表演讲感谢母亲。 2 续写线索：坦白梦想——得到支持——考入理想大学——发表演讲——感激母亲 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①想要：want to do/feel like doing ②追求：pursue/chase ③支持：approve of/be in favor of 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】I told her that I wanted to go to college to learn to be a doctor instead of being a teacher.

Habitat 67(Montreal, Canada) Habitat 67's unique architecture was designed by a young Canadian-Israeli immigrant named Moshe Safdie for Montreal's 1967 Universal Exposition (博览会). The building was designed to integrate the advantages of suburban living — namely privacy, gardens and multiple floors — in an urban environment. Sagrada Familia(Barcelona, Spain) When modernist architect Antoni Gaudi took the reins in 1883, a year after the construction began, he turned just another church into his masterpiece. Its complex designs and themes make the Sagrada Familia among the most unique architecture in the world. When it's finally finished in 2026, its iconic design will have long since been established as one of the great achievements of architecture. Longaberger Basket Building(Newark, America) There are plenty of buildings out there that reflect their purpose, like the Kansas City library that looks like a row of books. The Longaberger Basket Building is one of this kind. Head office of the Longaberger Company produces baskets which can be found around the world. The Longaberger founder's son wanted all the other Longaberger buildings to look like its products too. Atomium(Brussels, Belgium) Another example of an offbeat construction for a World's Fair, the Atomium was built for the 1958 edition of the Universal Exposition held in Brussels, Belgium by André Waterkeyn. Unlike Habitat 67, it wasn't meant to be a residential building. Instead it contains exhibition rooms and public halls. The building itself is designed to be a copy of the structure of iron crystal. 1. Which of the following building hasn't been completed by now? A. Habitat 67. B. Sagrada Familia. C. Longaberger Basket Building. D. Atomium. 2. What does Longaberger Basket Building look like? A. A basket. B. A garden. C. A row of books. D. An iron crystal. 3 What do Habitat 67 and Atomium have in common? A. They are residential buildings. B. They were built for World's Fairs. C. They were designed by Moshe Safdie. D. They contain exhibition rooms and public halls. B In a heartwarming tale from Georgia, a 72-year-old senior recently celebrated his college graduation in cinema studies, an achievement made even more special by the presence of his proud 99-year-old mother. Sam Kaplan of Lawrenceville decided to start on his educational journey at Georgia Gwinnett College in 2019 half a century after he had firstly chosen not to get higher education following his high school graduation in 1969. The catalyst for his return to academia came when he heard a radio announcement about a degree programme in cinema studies. Recalling that moment, Kaplan said, “I was driving down the highway when I heard about the degree programme. The next exit led to Collinsville, so I immediately exited, and within five minutes, I was enrolling in classes. I’ve always had a passion for writing and storytelling. I longed to transform my narratives into screenplays, but I realized I needed the basic knowledge to do so,” Kaplan admitted that the journey was a mix of anxiety and excitement but it proved to be greatly rewarding. He graduated with a 3.975 grade point average and perfect grade honours, majoring in cinema and media arts, and had desires to continue creating screenplays in the future. “It was an exciting and nerve-wracking (神经紧张的) challenge. Re-recognizing myself with the art of studying and communicating with fellow students was a lot of fun,” he told FOX5 Atlanta. The most heartwarming thing of Kaplan’s graduation day was the presence of his mother, 99-year-old Virginia Kaplan, during the ceremony. Virginia expressed her huge pride, saying, “I am so proud of him. He faced numerous challenges but insisted, and I am delighted, pleased, and extremely proud,” the mother also added. “With his new degree, he’s going to stand out in whatever he does. Who knows, I might even make an appearance in the movies.” 4. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To provide some background. B. To tell the main idea. C. To serve as a comment. D. To offer an example. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Reason. B. Vehicle. C. Task. D. Fact. 6. What do we infer from the last paragraph? A. The mother desires to star in a film. B. Kaplan takes much pride in himself. C. Kaplan is excellent at whatever he does. D. The mother offers the unshakeable support. 7. What can we conclude from the text? A Failure is the mother of success. B. It’s never too late to follow a dream. C. The good seaman is known in bad weather. D. All things in their being are good for something. C Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine. Researchers have used it for various treatments, including helping burn victims and fixing problems related to the stomach and heart. Inspired by colleagues in other medical fields, Mirza Melo, an eye doctor for animals in Brazil, decided to try using tilapia skin to treat eye problems in dogs. She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. “These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often.” Normally, doctors treat these eye injuries by placing a piece of horse placenta (胎盘) over the damaged area to help it recover. But in 2019, Melo tried using tilapia skin instead. She successfully treated a Shih Tzu (a species of dog) with a severe eye injury. Brazil’s Burn Support Institute and the Federal University of Ceará, which started the Tilapia Skin Project to treat burns, supported her work. With their help, Melo developed a special membrane (膜) called the acellular dermal matrix (ADM), made from pure collagen taken from tilapia skin. Collagen is known to help cells grow and repair tissues. Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight. So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat. 8. Why is Tilapia popular in medicine? A. For its eyes. B. For its skin. C. For its blood. D. For its oil. 9. What makes the dogs with short noses frequently get injured? A. Their eyes’ position. B. Their playful nature. C. Their active movement. D. Their hair’s length. 10. What can we infer about horse placental collagen? A. It is only related to horses’ weight. B. It is easier to obtain than tilapia collagen. C. It is not affected by horses’ type and weight. D. It is not always available at any stage of horses’ growth. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Melo’s concern for tilapia B. Melo’s confidence in teaching. C. The characteristic of tilapia’s collagen. D. The application of tilapia’s collagen. D If you’ve noticed you’re getting less while your bill almost stays the same, it’s not just you. “Shrinkflation” — reducing a product’s size or quantity while keeping its price stable — is showing up in shops around the world. As the global economy struggles with inflation (通货膨胀), rising material costs and higher human cost, consumers are bearing the increasing production prices. “Consumers are more likely to notice how their purchases are affecting their wallets than the amount of product lost when sizes decrease,” says Mark Stiving, the chief pricing educator at Impact Pricing. As a result, companies use shrinkflation to make consumers “less painful”. Yet even as shrinkflation comes with inflation, the problem doesn’t end after inflation does. Once the new sizes are on the shelf, they are likely to stay that way. “Shoppers don’t have a choice. They have to adapt themselves to the changes,” adds Stiving. There are rare exceptions, but companies generally take the opportunity to get more profits. For many companies, shrinkflation seems to be unavoidable. In food industry, for example, where customers are highly sensitive to price, lifting prices might make customers jump ship to another brand. But facing the continuous inflation, the companies have to do something to maintain their profits. Introducing small reduction in the size of their goods should enable them to improve profits while keeping their prices competitive. But once customers notice the change, they might feel fooled, leading to a loss of trust and confidence. Some grocers are using stickers to remind shoppers of shrinkflation, but still, it’s a tough hit to the bottom line — especially because the price of products generally doesn’t fall as inflation does. Consumers may need to examine both price and size sensibly as they shop, and make sure they don’t fall into the trap of that super size on the shelf. 12. Why does shrinkflation make consumers “less painful” according to Stiving? A. Shrinkflation reduces human cost. B. Shrinkflation raises purchasing power. C. Consumers become more aware of size. D. Consumers experience little increase in cost. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The concerns of shoppers. B. The interests of companies. C. The impact of shrinkflation. D. The phenomenon of inflation. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the shrinkflation in paragraph 4? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear. 15. What should consumers do according to the last paragraph? A. Draw a bottom line. B. Put warning stickers. C. Choose smaller packs. D. Make a conscious decision. 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。 If you are a perfectionist, you follow high standards and always try to do everything well. ___16___ Researchers find pursuing perfection can have serious effects on mental health.

My mother had a fixed idea that I would become a teacher, too. Although I respected her and was indeed skilled at teaching something to my little cousins, I didn’t agree that I should naturally follow in my mother’s footsteps. When I was a teenager, my mother happened to take me to a hospital which was run by one of her friends. It was the first time I had seen a busy medical environment in real life in person. Finding that I was curious about treating patients, my mother’s friend Dr. Lee offered me an opportunity to shadow him (跟他实地参观) for a day. I eagerly accepted his offer! Observing the doctors and nurses in action, I felt a mix of anxiety and excitement. Seeing the healing (治愈) process and the impact of medical care on patients was a profoundly moving experience. I figured being a doctor would be the most rewarding career in the world. From that day, a thought formed in my mind that I wanted to become a doctor, but I doubted whether my mother would support me. After all, it was a completely different path from what she had planned for me. Therefore, I kept the thought to myself, because I knew she would still insist on holding onto her previous idea. Anyway, besides discussing with my mother about teaching, I would often visit Dr. Lee’s hospital. Gradually, I got familiar with the medical equipment and procedures, and I learned a lot about healthcare, such as how to take vital signs (测生命体征), how to assist in minor surgeries, and so on. But what I had learned in the hospital just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional doctor. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 This time I would not hide my desire any more. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the graduation ceremony with my mother present, I, as “Excellent Graduate”, had to deliver a speech. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
