M: The previous record was set in 2020 by an Australian, whose bike measured 47.5 meters. Actually, the first record has been broken numerous times over the past 60 years. It was set in 1965 by a bicycle built in Cologne, Germany, measuring 8 meters. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What is The First Folio? A. A collection of Shakespeare’s plays. B. A story Shakespeare wrote. C. A publishing company. 18. How many copies of the book are there in the Folger Shakespeare Library? A. 250. B. 160. C. 90. 19. Where does the best-condition copy belong now? A. William Petty Fitzmaurice’s house. B. The City of London Corporation. C. The London Metropolitan Archive. 20. What does Liz Schafer learn from the book? A. The plays were not fixed in Shakespeare’s time. B. People didn’t accept Shakespeare’s plays. C. Comedies were not popular with British people. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】W: Shakespeare’s plays remain at the heart of the study of English literature worldwide, and also support the tourist industry in Stratford-upon-Avon, his birthplace in England, which is also home to the Royal Shakespeare Company. But none of this would have happened without the publication of a book — The First Folio, 400 years ago, in which Shakespeare’s works were collected. Although 750 copies of the book were printed, only around 250 still exist, with 90 at the Folger Shakespeare Library in the United States, and a small number are in private ownership. One of the best- condition copies was exhibited in the Guildhall Museum in 2023．It was originally owned by William Petty Fitzmaurice, an 18th- century British prime minister, and now belongs to the City of London Corporation. In addition to this book, the Guildhall Museum also displayed one of only six examples of Shakespeare’s signature, which is usually kept in the London Metropolitan Archive. Liz Schafer, a professor of drama, said one of the great values of The First Folio is that it shows how some texts have changed over the years. “Some texts, like King Lear, are slightly different. But others like The Merry Wives of Windsor are entirely different, which shows that in his time, plays were dynamic, not settled.” 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Join Our Exciting Review Contest!

I was in Buenos Aires having dinner with my uncle. Afterward, I took a taxi back to my hotel. The driver, a quiet young man, drove through dark streets. Tired from the day, I rested my head against the window. Suddenly, the taxi made a sharp turn to avoid a crash. The door flew open, and I fell onto the road. My heels hit the ground hard. Strangers rushed to help as sharp pain shot through my legs. An ambulance took me to the hospital. During recovery, I found comfort in small things. One day, I watched Scent of a Woman on the hospital TV. The actor Al Pacino’s lines — “If you make a mistake, just keep dancing” — stayed with me. Dancing had always been my escape, but now it felt impossible. Sent home on a medical bed, I stayed at my mother’s house for weeks. I moved from a wheelchair to a walking stick. Simple moves were hard; my balance was weak. Fear followed me everywhere — crossing streets, getting into cars — like my body didn’t trust the world anymore. The turning point came when I returned to tango. At first, I danced carefully in sports shoes, holding my partner’s arm tightly. Progress was slow, but tango grounded me. At dance nights, dancing three songs with strangers taught me to trust again. As a follower, I focused on my partner’s signals, matching our breathing and movement. The tango embrace (拥抱) became more than a hold — it was silent conversation. In those moments, sadness and fear turned into focus. Each step was a promise: Keep going. Years later, I see how tango mirrored my healing. Born from hardship, it taught me to move with life’s challenges. Those twelve- minute dances weren’t just steps — they proved that even when your body fails, your spirit can lead. 24. What changed the author’s life in Buenos Aires? A. A meaningful family dinner. B. A severe traffic accident. C. An inspiring movie scene. D. A memorable taxi conversation. 25. Why were Pacino’s lines important to the author? A. It reflected her love for acting. B. It inspired her to avoid mistakes. C. It gave her spiritual guidance. D. It helped her perform perfectly. 26. What psychological struggle did the author face? A. Fear of social activities. B. Regret about past choices. C. Increasing anxiety about future work. D. Loss of confidence in physical abilities. 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Adventurous and ambitious. B. Strong- willed and reflective. C. Sociable and competitive. D. Cool- headed and carefree. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在布宜诺斯艾利斯遭遇交通事故后，通过探戈舞重新找回生活信心的经历，展现了她在困境中坚持与反思的成长过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Suddenly, the taxi made a sharp turn to avoid a crash. The door flew open, and I fell onto the road. My heels hit the ground hard. Strangers rushed to help as sharp pain shot through my legs. An ambulance took me to the hospital. (突然，出租车急转弯以避免撞车。车门猛地打开，我摔到了路上。我的脚跟重重地撞在地上。陌生人冲过来帮忙，剧烈的疼痛从我的双腿蔓延开来。救护车把我送到了医院)”可知，作者经历了一场严重的交通事故，这改变了她的生活。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During recovery, I found comfort in small things. One day, I watched Scent of a Woman on the hospital TV. The actor Al Pacino’s lines— “If you make a mistake, just keep dancing” —stayed with me. (在康复期间，我从小事中找到安慰。有一天，我在医院的电视上看了《闻香识女人》。演员阿尔・帕西诺的台词——“如果你犯了错误，就继续跳舞”——一直萦绕在我心头)”可知，帕西诺的台词给了作者精神上的指引，让她在康复过程中找到了慰藉。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Simple moves were hard; my balance was weak. Fear followed me everywhere— crossing streets, getting into cars— like my body didn’t trust the world anymore. (简单的动作都很困难；我的平衡能力很差。恐惧无处不在——过马路，上车——好像我的身体不再信任这个世界了)”可知，作者因身体受伤导致行动不便，对自己的身体能力失去了信心，甚至产生了恐惧心理，这种对自身身体机能的不信任是她面临的主要心理挣扎。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Progress was slow, but tango grounded me. At dance nights, dancing three songs with strangers taught me to trust again. As a follower, I focused on my partner’s signals, matching our breathing and movement. The tango embrace (拥抱) became more than a hold— it was silent conversation. In those moments, sadness and fear turned into focus. Each step was a promise: Keep going. (进展很缓慢，但探戈让我找到了根基。在舞会之夜，和陌生人共舞三支曲子教会了我再次信任。作为跟随者，我专注于舞伴的信号，与他们的呼吸和动作保持一致。探戈的拥抱不再仅仅是一种握——它成了无声的对话。在那些时刻，悲伤和恐惧都转化为专注。每一步都是一个承诺：继续前行)”以及最后一段“Those twelve- minute dances weren’t just steps — they proved that even when your body fails, your spirit can lead. (那十二分钟的舞蹈不仅仅是舞步——它们证明了即使身体垮掉，精神仍能引领方向)”并结合全文作者面对挫折后通过探戈重新振作的故事可知，作者是一个意志坚强、善于反思的人。故选B项。 C A desire for offline connection is driving a UK book club revival, offering a way to escape screens and loneliness. From celebrity-backed groups like Dua Lipa’s to “silent” clubs, these gatherings prioritize community as much as literature. “The rise reflects a hunger for deeper bonds,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club, which expanded into book clubs amid growing demand. Statistics prove the trend: Book club lists on Eventbrite jumped 350% post-2020, while “book club” reentered Meetup’s top 10 search terms. Clubs like Glasgow’s feminist Book Club, founded by Stefanie McCartney, now attract up to 40 attendees monthly. Today’s clubs combine literature with themed experiences — like detective night dinners or knitting (针织) circles — to serve specific audiences. Identity-focused groups, such as Literally Black Book Club, create safe spaces for minority group communities. Silent book clubs, meanwhile, offer connection through shared quiet reading. As technology advances, people are facing heightened social isolation (孤单). Loneliness and digital overload are key drivers. “The isolation emphasized our need for meaningful interaction,” Cooke explains. Book clubs provide structure, McCartney adds, allowing people to engage however they choose. As screen fatigue (疲惫) grows, many seek refuge in physical books and in-person discussion. Cooke says: “People want a break from screens, like how music fans enjoy old- style records or people write diaries.” Clubs without alcohol are also popular. More clubs now don’t focus on drinking. McCartney states: “We need choices besides drinking.” Member Laura Menendez likes that it’s not about buying things; “It’s about being together, not spending money.” Celebrities like Dua Lipa and Kaia Gerber have intensified the trend, drawing younger audiences. In an age of disconnection, book clubs combine tradition with modern needs, proving shared reading is anything but outdated. As Cooke notes, “It’s never been more relevant. They provide a space where ideas are challenged, broadened, and enriched through collective discussion, offering connections and the insights after the pages are turned, leaving a remarkable mark on the community.” 28. What drives the UK book club revival? A. Social media influence. B. Desire for real-world bonds. C. Increased publishing of novels. D. Government cultural policies. 29. How does the author illustrate the book clubs’ popularity? A. By citing platform statistics. B. By listing club varieties. C. By mentioning celebrity examples. D. By describing member emotions. 30. What does the underlined word “refuge” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Recreational activities. B. Routine behaviors. C. Social responsibility. D. Safe shelter. 31. What does Cooke think of the book clubs’ impact? A. It’s far-reaching. B. It’s youth-dependent. C. It’s digitally-driven. D. It’s entertainment-focused. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍在英国，人们对线下联系的渴望推动了读书俱乐部的复兴，这些俱乐部结合文学与主题体验，满足了人们摆脱屏幕、缓解孤独及寻求有意义互动的需求，对社会产生重要影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A desire for offline connection is driving a UK book club revival, offering a way to escape screens and loneliness. From celebrity-backed groups like Dua Lipa’s to “silent” clubs, these gatherings prioritize community as much as literature. “The rise reflects a hunger for deeper bonds,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club, which expanded into book clubs amid growing demand.(对线下交流的渴望正推动英国读书俱乐部的复兴，为人们提供了一种逃离屏幕和孤独的方式。从像杜阿・利帕支持的名人主导的俱乐部，到“无声”俱乐部，这些聚会对社群的重视程度与文学不相上下。“这种兴起反映了人们对建立更深层次联系的渴望，”“孤独女孩俱乐部”的创始人霍利・库克说，该俱乐部在需求不断增长的情况下拓展到了读书俱乐部领域)”可知，是对现实世界联系的渴望推动了英国读书俱乐部的复兴。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Statistics prove the trend: Book club lists on Eventbrite jumped 350% post-2020, while “book club” reentered Meetup’s top 10 search terms.(统计数据证明了这一趋势：自2020年以来，Eventbrite上的读书俱乐部列表增长了350%，而“读书俱乐部”重新进入Meetup的前10大搜索词)”可知，作者通过引用平台统计数据来说明读书俱乐部的受欢迎程度。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“As screen fatigue (疲惫) grows, many seek refuge in physical books and in-person discussion.(随着屏幕疲劳感的加剧，许多人在实体书和面对面的讨论中寻求refuge)”，结合前文提到人们想要摆脱屏幕，可知人们在实体书和面对面讨论中寻找躲避屏幕疲劳的地方，所以“refuge”意思是“Safe shelter (安全的庇护所 )”。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As Cooke notes, “It’s never been more relevant. They provide a space where ideas are challenged, broadened, and enriched through collective discussion, offering connections and the insights after the pages are turned, leaving a remarkable mark on the community.”(正如库克所指出的：“读书俱乐部从未像现在这样意义重大。它们提供了一个空间，在这里，通过集体讨论，各种想法受到质疑、得到拓展并变得丰富，在合上书本之后，还能提供人与人之间的联系以及深刻见解，给社群留下非凡的印记”)”可知，库克认为读书俱乐部的影响是深远的。故选A项。 D Bees are declining globally. Scientists warn that insufficient research exists to fully understand or address this crisis. Now at Wakehurst, Kew Gardens’ wild botanic garden in Sussex, researchers are pioneering a study to identify which trees best support bees, aiming to handle their alarming decline. Using advanced sensors placed in trees, the team detects bees by monitoring the unique buzz (嗡嗡响) of their wing beats. This method creates “heat maps” showing which species attract the most pollinators (授粉者). The study also analyzes DNA from collected pollen (花粉) to determine which flowers bees prefer. Dr. Janine Griffiths-Lee, pollination research lead, emphasizes the urgency: “Nearly 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, yet the UK’s flying insect population has dropped by 60% in 20 years. Globally, this decline threatens crop stability and essential ecosystem services.” Trees, she explains, act as “3D structures” offering vast reserves of pollen despite their small ground footprint. Identifying the most beneficial species could help cities become lifelines for bees. Wakehurst’s 535- acre estate serves as a “living laboratory” for climate solutions. Director Susan Raikes explains, “We face twin causes — biodiversity loss and climate change. As native plants struggle, we must find alternatives to sustain pollinators.” The study aims to pinpoint trees from warmer climates that could survive in the UK’s changing environment, ensuring future food security. Urban areas, often seen as ecological deserts, hold untapped potential. By planting the right trees, cities can become vital habitats for bees. For example, lime trees are rich in pollen, while horse chestnuts offer early- season flowers. Non- native species may extend blooming periods, bridging gaps in food supply. The research underscores a broader truth: saving bees requires reimagining human spaces. With pollinators responsible for one in three bites of food, their survival is closely connected to ours. As Raikes states, “We need nature- based solutions to survive.” By integrating technology with ecology, this project offers hope — not just for bees, but for the delicate web of life they sustain. 32. What does Kew Gardens’ study mainly aim to do? A. Protect bees in dangerous areas. B. Find trees that are most helpful to bees. C. Compare local and foreign plants. D. Create new bee- tracking devices. 33. How do researchers determine bee preferences? A. By analyzing soil quality near trees. B. Through DNA tests and sound mapping. C. By measuring pollen production annually. D. Through satellite tracking of bee colonies. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward urban bee conservation? A. Negative. B. Uncertain. C. Dismissive. D. Promising. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Bee Safety Needing Better Park Management. B. Rescuing Trees: Bee Sensors Map Insect Sounds. C. Bee Survival Linked to Smarter Urban Tree choices. D. Saving Bees: Global Sensors Track pollinator Decline. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了全球蜜蜂数量急剧下降，为应对这一危机，基尤花园醒目植物园的科研人员正在利用先进传感器监测树木中的蜜蜂，旨在帮助解决蜜蜂数量减少的问题，同时也强调了城市地区通过种植合适的树木成为蜜蜂重要栖息地的潜力，以及该研究对于人类生存和生态系统的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now at Wakehurst, Kew Gardens’ wild botanic garden in Sussex, researchers are pioneering a study to identify which trees best support bees, aiming to handle their alarming decline.

Try to plan your schedule so that you have at least a few nights in every stop, rather than moving on every few days! ___37___. If you only have three days, it’s tempting (诱人的) to simply tick things off the “top ten attractions” list. But that makes it harder to really appreciate each one. ___38___. Be honest with yourself. Are you visiting the top sights or the most famous museum because you’re genuinely interested in it, or because TripAdvisor told you it’s the “best” thing to do there? Don’t treat your exploration like a sightseeing checklist. Instead, put experiences first when you can. Look for something more experiential. That could be a class, a storytelling tour, or even trying a new sport. Talk to locals There’s really no better way to learn about a culture than speaking to the locals. It’s their culture, after all. So whenever you can, try to chat to locals. Even a stranger in a bar or coffee shop. And take the chance to press them for a local recommendation. ___39___. Try to find a meetup One of the awesome things about the Internet is how it can make being social so much easier! Just do a search and you’ll find several groups where you can ask questions or get in touch with fellow travelers. ___40___. Sites like Meetup and Couchsurfing are all about connecting travelers with locals, and they’re brilliant places to start. Many hostels and co-working spaces also run events— whether it’s a social, a movie night, or a class. A. Book a food tour B. Prioritize experiences C. Better still, try to find local events to go to D. The same principle applies to shorter trips E. It’s about trying to get beneath the surface of a place F. Ask about their favorite restaurant or what they do for fun G. Try to find accommodation that is close to public transportation 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. B 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了深度旅行，首先定义深度旅行是深入了解当地文化、历史或美食的旅行方式，然后给出四条实用建议。 【36题详解】 上文“Deep travel is all about trying to understand the culture, the history, or the cuisine of your destination.(深度旅行就是努力去了解目的地的文化、历史或美食)”解释了深度旅行的内涵。空处应进一步阐释深度旅行的本质，E项“It’s about trying to get beneath the surface of a place(它是关于努力深入一个地方的表层之下)”与上文衔接，说明深度旅行要深入了解地方本质，符合逻辑。故选E。 【37题详解】 上文“Try to plan your schedule so that you have at least a few nights in every stop, rather than moving on every few days!(建议每站停留至少几晚，而非频繁更换地点)”针对长途旅行提出“放慢节奏”的建议。空处需衔接下文“If you only have three days...(即使只有三天短途旅行)”，说明该原则同样适用短途。D项“The same principle applies to shorter trips(同样原则适用于短途旅行)”承上启下，将长途旅行的原则延伸到短途旅行，逻辑连贯。故选D。 【38题详解】 此处需填段落标题。下文“Don’t treat your exploration like a sightseeing checklist. Instead, put experiences first when you can.(不要把你的探索当成观光清单。相反，尽可能把体验放在首位)”强调体验的重要性。B项“Prioritize experiences(优先考虑体验)”作为标题，概括了段落核心内容，符合要求。故选B。 【39题详解】 上文“And take the chance to press them for a local recommendation.(抓住机会向当地人寻求推荐)”建议主动询问当地人。F项“Ask about their favorite restaurant or what they do for fun(询问他们最喜欢的餐厅或娱乐方式)”为具体推荐内容，与“recommendation”呼应，提供可操作的建议。故选F。 【40题详解】 上文“Just do a search and you’ll find several groups where you can ask questions or get in touch with fellow travelers.(只需搜索一下，你就会找到几个可以提问或与其他旅行者联系的群组)”讲通过网络找旅行群组。下文“Sites like Meetup and Couchsurfing are all about connecting travelers with locals, and they’re brilliant places to start. Many hostels and co-working spaces also run events— whether it’s a social, a movie night, or a class.(像Meetup和Couchsurfing这样的网站都是关于把旅行者和当地人联系起来的，它们是很好的开始。许多旅馆和联合办公空间也会举办活动——无论是社交活动、电影之夜还是课程)”提到了当地活动。C项“Better still, try to find local events to go to(更好的是，试着找到可以参加的当地活动)”衔接上下文，从加入群组过渡到参加当地活动，符合逻辑。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother, Janice Goldstein, was the most creative person I’ve ever known.

My daughter and I were walking through a sample house in the new neighborhood where she and her husband had just bought land. When I heard that voice, my heart gave a little jump of recognition. I looked around. There, standing on the fresh earth of the yard next door, was a little figure covered in dirt, his brown hair messy. “William!” I cried out, genuinely surprised. “What on earth are you doing here?” He patted his chest proudly. “Helping my dad put down grass!” He pointed towards the next yard, where I spotted his father, head down, working hard with a roller. William’s dad owned a gardening business. “I bet he loves the help,” I said warmly, turning to my daughter. “This is William. One of my students. He’s...” My usual praise about his helpfulness was caught in my throat. “He’s wonderful to have in class... a hard worker,” I finished, seeing his expectant face. In my class, William was different from others. Reading was a real struggle for him. He often forgot his homework. Numbers sometimes escaped from his head. I’d spent so many lunchtimes trying to help him catch up. My voice was patient but my stomach was often filled with worry. “Will he ever grasp this? What if he falls too far behind?” William’s eyes lit up when we learned about insects, or birds, or how plants grew. Break time, he wasn’t on the swings; he was chasing a butterfly or watching a line of ants carry food bigger than themselves. When spring arrived, I announced our special project: Growing Sunflowers! Each child would plant some seeds, care for them, and watch them grow. “Sunflowers follow the sun,” I explained. “They teach us about patience... and about finding the light.” William’s hand shot up like a rocket. “Can I give them water? Every day?!” His voice was urgent, hopeful. “Of course you can, William,” I smiled. But inside, a small, doubtful thought whispered: Is this just another distraction (干扰)? 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Shouldn’t he be focusing on his reading? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last school day, a flash of brilliant yellow in the garden caught my eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Shouldn’t he be focusing on his reading? The familiar worry arose in my chest as I watched him dash towards the water pond to fetch water. Yet, each afternoon, William was the first at the garden plot, kneeling intently, dirt smudging his cheeks as he carefully measured water for his seeds. His usual classroom restlessness disappeared here, replaced by a quiet, focused determination. My doubtful whisper faded, replaced by a hesitant hope: perhaps this was the key to unlocking his potential, patience growing alongside the unseen roots. On the last school day, a flash of brilliant yellow in the garden caught my eye. There stood William, beaming beside a sunflower taller than himself, its huge face glowing in the sunlight. “Look, Ms. Woodall!” he shouted, bouncing with pride. “Mine found the light really good!” The other children gathered, murmuring in awe. Seeing his pure joy and the magnificent result of his dedicated care, my heart swelled. This, I realized, was his kind of reading — understanding the earth, the sun, and the miracle of growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了威廉在学业上存在困难，但对自然事物充满热情，老师安排了种植向日葵的特别项目，威廉积极投入其中的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他不应该专注于阅读吗？”可知，第一段可描写尽管老师心中有所担忧，但看到威廉在花园里专注照顾向日葵种子，那份不安逐渐被希望所取代，意识到这或许是激发威廉潜能的契机。 ②由第二段首句内容“在最后一个上学日，花园里一抹耀眼的黄色吸引了我的目光。”可知，第二段可描写威廉种植的向日葵长得比他还高，他的喜悦和成就感让老师意识到，这是威廉理解世界、发现光亮的方式。 2.续写线索：担忧威廉的学习——看到威廉专注照顾向日葵——心中的不安被希望取代——向日葵开花——威廉的喜悦和成就感——老师意识到这是威廉理解世界的方式 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①冲向：dash towards/hurry to/rush to ②取水：fetch water/get water/carry water ③呼喊：shout/yell/call out 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/concern ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】The familiar worry arose in my chest as I watched him dash towards the water pond to fetch water.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Yet, each afternoon, William was the first at the garden plot, kneeling intently, dirt smudging his cheeks as he carefully measured water for his seeds.（运用了现在分词作状语和as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$雄安新区2024至2025学年第二学期期末教学质量监测高2英语，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, in international friends club, can I help you?

Afterward, I took a taxi back to my hotel. The driver, a quiet young man, drove through dark streets. Tired from the day, I rested my head against the window. Suddenly, the taxi made a sharp turn to avoid a crash. The door flew open, and I fell onto the road. My heels hit the ground hard. Strangers rushed to help as sharp pain shot through my legs. An ambulance took me to the hospital. During recovery, I found comfort in small things. One day, I watched Scent of a Woman on the hospital TV. The actor Al Pacino’s lines — “If you make a mistake, just keep dancing” — stayed with me. Dancing had always been my escape, but now it felt impossible. Sent home on a medical bed, I stayed at my mother’s house for weeks. I moved from a wheelchair to a walking stick. Simple moves were hard; my balance was weak. Fear followed me everywhere — crossing streets, getting into cars — like my body didn’t trust the world anymore. The turning point came when I returned to tango. At first, I danced carefully in sports shoes, holding my partner’s arm tightly. Progress was slow, but tango grounded me. At dance nights, dancing three songs with strangers taught me to trust again. As a follower, I focused on my partner’s signals, matching our breathing and movement. The tango embrace (拥抱) became more than a hold — it was silent conversation. In those moments, sadness and fear turned into focus. Each step was a promise: Keep going. Years later, I see how tango mirrored my healing. Born from hardship, it taught me to move with life’s challenges. Those twelve- minute dances weren’t just steps — they proved that even when your body fails, your spirit can lead. 24. What changed the author’s life in Buenos Aires? A. A meaningful family dinner. B. A severe traffic accident. C. An inspiring movie scene. D. A memorable taxi conversation. 25. Why were Pacino’s lines important to the author? A. It reflected her love for acting. B. It inspired her to avoid mistakes. C. It gave her spiritual guidance. D. It helped her perform perfectly. 26. What psychological struggle did the author face? A. Fear of social activities. B. Regret about past choices. C. Increasing anxiety about future work. D. Loss of confidence in physical abilities. 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Adventurous and ambitious. B. Strong- willed and reflective. C. Sociable and competitive. D. Cool- headed and carefree. C A desire for offline connection is driving a UK book club revival, offering a way to escape screens and loneliness. From celebrity-backed groups like Dua Lipa’s to “silent” clubs, these gatherings prioritize community as much as literature. “The rise reflects a hunger for deeper bonds,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club, which expanded into book clubs amid growing demand. Statistics prove the trend: Book club lists on Eventbrite jumped 350% post-2020, while “book club” reentered Meetup’s top 10 search terms. Clubs like Glasgow’s feminist Book Club, founded by Stefanie McCartney, now attract up to 40 attendees monthly. Today’s clubs combine literature with themed experiences — like detective night dinners or knitting (针织) circles — to serve specific audiences. Identity-focused groups, such as Literally Black Book Club, create safe spaces for minority group communities. Silent book clubs, meanwhile, offer connection through shared quiet reading. As technology advances, people are facing heightened social isolation (孤单). Loneliness and digital overload are key drivers. “The isolation emphasized our need for meaningful interaction,” Cooke explains. Book clubs provide structure, McCartney adds, allowing people to engage however they choose. As screen fatigue (疲惫) grows, many seek refuge in physical books and in-person discussion. Cooke says: “People want a break from screens, like how music fans enjoy old- style records or people write diaries.” Clubs without alcohol are also popular. More clubs now don’t focus on drinking. McCartney states: “We need choices besides drinking.” Member Laura Menendez likes that it’s not about buying things; “It’s about being together, not spending money.” Celebrities like Dua Lipa and Kaia Gerber have intensified the trend, drawing younger audiences. In an age of disconnection, book clubs combine tradition with modern needs, proving shared reading is anything but outdated. As Cooke notes, “It’s never been more relevant. They provide a space where ideas are challenged, broadened, and enriched through collective discussion, offering connections and the insights after the pages are turned, leaving a remarkable mark on the community.” 28. What drives the UK book club revival? A. Social media influence. B. Desire for real-world bonds. C. Increased publishing of novels. D. Government cultural policies. 29. How does the author illustrate the book clubs’ popularity? A. By citing platform statistics. B. By listing club varieties. C. By mentioning celebrity examples. D. By describing member emotions. 30. What does the underlined word “refuge” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Recreational activities. B. Routine behaviors. C. Social responsibility. D. Safe shelter. 31. What does Cooke think of the book clubs’ impact? A. It’s far-reaching. B. It’s youth-dependent. C. It’s digitally-driven. D. It’s entertainment-focused. D Bees are declining globally. Scientists warn that insufficient research exists to fully understand or address this crisis. Now at Wakehurst, Kew Gardens’ wild botanic garden in Sussex, researchers are pioneering a study to identify which trees best support bees, aiming to handle their alarming decline. Using advanced sensors placed in trees, the team detects bees by monitoring the unique buzz (嗡嗡响) of their wing beats. This method creates “heat maps” showing which species attract the most pollinators (授粉者). The study also analyzes DNA from collected pollen (花粉) to determine which flowers bees prefer. Dr. Janine Griffiths-Lee, pollination research lead, emphasizes the urgency: “Nearly 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, yet the UK’s flying insect population has dropped by 60% in 20 years. Globally, this decline threatens crop stability and essential ecosystem services.” Trees, she explains, act as “3D structures” offering vast reserves of pollen despite their small ground footprint. Identifying the most beneficial species could help cities become lifelines for bees. Wakehurst’s 535- acre estate serves as a “living laboratory” for climate solutions. Director Susan Raikes explains, “We face twin causes — biodiversity loss and climate change. As native plants struggle, we must find alternatives to sustain pollinators.” The study aims to pinpoint trees from warmer climates that could survive in the UK’s changing environment, ensuring future food security. Urban areas often seen as ecological deserts, hold untapped potential. By planting the right trees, cities can become vital habitats for bees. For example, lime trees are rich in pollen, while horse chestnuts offer early- season flowers. Non- native species may extend blooming periods, bridging gaps in food supply. The research underscores a broader truth: saving bees requires reimagining human spaces. With pollinators responsible for one in three bites of food, their survival is closely connected to ours. As Raikes states, “We need nature- based solutions to survive.” By integrating technology with ecology, this project offers hope — not just for bees, but for the delicate web of life they sustain. 32. What does Kew Gardens’ study mainly aim to do? A. Protect bees in dangerous areas. B. Find trees that are most helpful to bees. C. Compare local and foreign plants. D. Create new bee- tracking devices. 33. How do researchers determine bee preferences? A. By analyzing soil quality near trees. B. Through DNA tests and sound mapping. C. By measuring pollen production annually. D. Through satellite tracking of bee colonies. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward urban bee conservation? A. Negative. B. Uncertain. C. Dismissive. D. Promising. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Bee Safety Needing Better Park Management. B. Rescuing Trees: Bee Sensors Map Insect Sounds. C. Bee Survival Linked to Smarter Urban Tree choices. D. Saving Bees: Global Sensors Track pollinator Decline. 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。 Deep travel is all about trying to understand the culture, the history, or the cuisine of your destination. ___36___. And here are a few tips for deep travel. Slow down This is particularly relevant to long trips. Travel burnout is very real, and can make the whole experience much less enjoyable. Try to plan your schedule so that you have at least a few nights in every stop, rather than moving on every few days! ___37___. If you only have three days, it’s tempting (诱人的) to simply tick things off the “top ten attractions” list. But that makes it harder to really appreciate each one. ___38___. Be honest with yourself. Are you visiting the top sights or the most famous museum because you’re genuinely interested in it, or because TripAdvisor told you it’s the “best” thing to do there? Don’t treat your exploration like a sightseeing checklist. Instead, put experiences first when you can. Look for something more experiential. That could be a class, a storytelling tour, or even trying a new sport. Talk to locals There’s really no better way to learn about a culture than speaking to the locals. It’s their culture, after all. So whenever you can, try to chat to locals. Even a stranger in a bar or coffee shop. And take the chance to press them for a local recommendation. ___39___. Try to find a meetup One of the awesome things about the Internet is how it can make being social so much easier! Just do a search and you’ll find several groups where you can ask questions or get in touch with fellow travelers. ___40___. Sites like Meetup and Couchsurfing are all about connecting travelers with locals, and they’re brilliant places to start. Many hostels and co-working spaces also run events— whether it’s a social, a movie night, or a class. A. Book a food tour B. Prioritize experiences C. Better still, try to find local events to go to D. The same principle applies to shorter trips E. It’s about trying to get beneath the surface of a place F. Ask about their favorite restaurant or what they do for fun G. Try to find accommodation that is close to public transportation 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother, Janice Goldstein, was the most creative person I’ve ever known.

My daughter and I were walking through a sample house in the new neighborhood where she and her husband had just bought land. When I heard that voice, my heart gave a little jump of recognition. I looked around. There, standing on the fresh earth of the yard next door, was a little figure covered in dirt, his brown hair messy. “William!” I cried out, genuinely surprised. “What on earth are you doing here?” He patted his chest proudly. “Helping my dad put down grass!” He pointed towards the next yard, where I spotted his father, head down, working hard with a roller. William’s dad owned a gardening business. “I bet he loves the help,” I said warmly, turning to my daughter. “This is William. One of my students. He’s...” My usual praise about his helpfulness was caught in my throat. “He’s wonderful to have in class... a hard worker,” I finished, seeing his expectant face. In my class, William was different from others. Reading was a real struggle for him. He often forgot his homework. Numbers sometimes escaped from his head. I’d spent so many lunchtimes trying to help him catch up. My voice was patient but my stomach was often filled with worry. “Will he ever grasp this? What if he falls too far behind?” William’s eyes lit up when we learned about insects, or birds, or how plants grew. Break time, he wasn’t on the swings; he was chasing a butterfly or watching a line of ants carry food bigger than themselves. When spring arrived, I announced our special project: Growing Sunflowers! Each child would plant some seeds, care for them, and watch them grow. “Sunflowers follow the sun,” I explained. “They teach us about patience... and about finding the light.” William’s hand shot up like a rocket. “Can I give them water? Every day?!” His voice was urgent, hopeful. “Of course you can, William,” I smiled.
