Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025.(你正在为你的下一个旅行目的地寻找灵感吗？孤独星球已经公布了每年的最佳旅行目的地名单。让我们来探索一下2025年最受欢迎的旅游目的地。)”及下文对内罗毕、蒙古、西班牙和美国中西部的介绍可知，文章主要是向读者介绍孤独星球公布的2025年最佳旅游目的地，即文章的主要目的是为了告知读者相关信息。故选C项。 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者15岁时参加登山营，从害怕到领悟成功需稳步努力而非捷径的经历。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段中的““This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening — to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. (“这次攀登与速度或力量无关，”她说。“它关乎倾听——倾听你的身体、大山和队友。”我翻了个白眼，坚信到达山顶是唯一的成功标准。)”可知，作者对教练的建议持怀疑态度。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. (我的队友杰克是一名自信的运动员，他冲在前面，嘲笑我谨慎的步伐。“你在浪费时间！”他喊道。然而，到了中午，他的信心破灭了。杰克瘫倒在狭窄的岩架上，因口渴和肌肉疼痛而颤抖。)”可知，杰克爬山失败是因为他毫无准备地匆忙前进。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations.(与此同时，我调整了装备，每15分钟喝一次水，研究岩层。)”及第三段中的“I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe.(我专注于三步节奏：踩稳、拉拽、呼吸。)”可推断，作者耐心且善于观察。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience.(那一刻重塑了我对成长的理解——这不是征服高峰，而是拥抱谦逊和耐心。)”及最后一段中的“Every struggle and setback carves resilience into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below.(每一次奋斗和挫折都在我们的故事中刻下韧性。真正的顶峰不是一个物理位置——而是我们带回山下世界的智慧。)”可推断，作者从这次登山中学到的教训是：成功重视稳步努力而非捷径。故选D项。 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了护理机器人对养老院员工留存率和患者护理质量的积极影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could entail elsewhere-a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said. (“我们的研究集中在日本，因为它是一个超老龄化社会，为其他地方未来可能面临的情况提供了一个很好的例子——人口减少，老年人口比例增加，劳动年龄人口比例下降，”李说)”可知，Yong Suk Lee将研究集中在日本是因为其超老龄化社会很好地反映了趋势。故选C。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题型。根据第三段“Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms.(转运机器人，护士用它来在病床及房间周围抬起、移动和rotate病人)” 可知，“rotate”与“lift（抬起）”“move（移动）”并列，且与病人在病床及房间周围的动作相关，结合选项，可推测 “rotate” 意思为 “转动，改变位置”。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention. (工作人员通常会经历很多身体疼痛，尤其是膝盖和背部。工作很辛苦，工资也很低。因此，机器人的使用与员工留存率有关)”可知，机器人的使用降低了工人离职率是因为机器人减轻了工作人员的繁重工作负担。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. (圣母大学一位研究未来工作的专家的一项新研究发现，机器人的使用与就业增加、员工留存率提高、生产力提高和护理质量提高有关)”以及文章内容可知，全文围绕机器人如何通过提升员工留存率和患者护理质量来应对老龄化社会，重点强调其对这两方面的积极影响。选项C“护理机器人有利于员工保留和患者护理”全面概括主题。故选C。 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了科学家们成功地用SpaceX火箭发射了世界上第一颗木制卫星LignoSat，让太空旅行更加环保。 32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“In a very important journey to make space travel better for the environment, scientists have successfully launched LignoSat, the world’s first wooden satellite, aboard a SpaceX rocket. (在使太空旅行更好地造福环境的一次非常重要的旅程中，科学家们成功地用SpaceX火箭发射了世界上第一颗木制卫星LignoSat)”可知，LignoSat是世界上第一颗木制卫星。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“LignoSat’s purpose is to see whether wood could be a proper material in space. (LignoSat的目的是研究木材是否是太空中合适的材料)”可知，LignoSat的主要目的是测试木材是否适合在太空中使用。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Traditional metal satellites often generate metal particles upon burning up, but LignoSat, designed to break up harmlessly on re-entry, has the potential to avoid this environmental impact altogether. (传统的金属卫星在燃烧时通常会产生金属颗粒，但是LignoSat旨在在重返大气层时无害地分解，有可能完全避免这种环境影响)”可知，LignoSat在重返大气层时无害地分解，避免对环境造成影响。由此可知，与金属卫星相比，木制卫星更环保。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“In a very important journey to make space travel better for the environment, scientists have successfully launched LignoSat, the world’s first wooden satellite, aboard a SpaceX rocket. (在使太空旅行更好地造福环境的一次非常重要的旅程中，科学家们成功地用SpaceX火箭发射了世界上第一颗木制卫星LignoSat)”可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们成功地用SpaceX火箭发射了世界上第一颗木制卫星LignoSat，让太空旅行更加环保。C项“First Wooden Satellite: Eco-Space Travel”意为“第一颗木制卫星：生态太空旅行”，能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。 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。 【答案】36.

(分类和交换)”，后文“It’s a great way to make way for new favorites and pass on favorites to other readers too. (如此一来，既能腾出空间收藏新书，又能让心爱的好书流转到其他读者手中)”指出交换书籍的好处，空处应建议与他人交换图书，因此G项“Make space for new books by organizing a book exchange with friends or classmates.

B At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening — to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice echoed in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.” The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience. Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力 )into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below. 24. What initial attitude did the author have toward the instructor’s advice? A. Enthusiastic. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Confused. 25. Why did Jake fail to climb the mountain? A.

Winning requires fighting bravely. B. Physical strength guarantees success. C. Teamwork outweighs personal goals. D. Success values steady effort over shortcuts. C Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住 ), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry. Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could involve elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said, “We need to be ready for this new reality.” In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities. Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms. Mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers. “We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.” Lee said, “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.” “This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,” Lee said. 28. Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan? A. It encourages the elderly care industry. B. It has a sound foundation for robot nursing. C. Its super-aging society well reflects the trend. D. It owns the most advanced robots in the world. 29. What does the underlined word “rotate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. treat. B. examine. C. monitor. D. reposition. 30. Why does robot adoption reduce workers’ quit rates? A. It solves the issue of low pay. B. It eases their heavy working burden. C. It offers a good working environment. D. It helps to treat their occupational injuries. 31. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Japan’s exploration represents the care industry. B. High quality care for the elderly should be advocated. C. Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care. D. Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination. 第 5 页 共 8 页 D In a very important journey to make space travel better for the environment, scientists have successfully launched LignoSat, the world’s first wooden satellite, aboard a SpaceX rocket. The satellite is going on a trip to bring more things to the International Space Station (ISS), where it will be launched into orbit in the coming month. The pioneering project was developed by Kyoto University scientists and Sumitomo Forestry, which is a big step in finding new ways to be good for the environment when we use technology in space. LignoSat’s purpose is to see whether wood could be a proper material in space. The satellite is set to orbit Earth for six months, staying strong in the tough space environment while scientists watch how well it holds up. Wood, surprisingly strong in space due to the absence of oxygen and water, could offer a solution to a significant problem facing the satellite industry: metal pieces from retired satellites re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Traditional metal satellites often generate metal particles upon burning up, but LignoSat, designed to break up harmlessly on re-entry, has the potential to avoid this environmental impact altogether. Koji Murata, a professor from Kyoto University who studies forests, said that because wood could last a long time without oxygen, it might be a good material to use for spaceships, reducing environmental harm when the satellite returns to Earth. The satellite was put in a specialized container (容器 ) by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and flew into space safely, according to a post on the Internet. Sumitomo Forestry’s spokesperson said the satellite’s journey went well and that it would soon arrive at the ISS, where it will then be launched into space. 32. What can be learned about LignoSat? A. It’s made of metal. B. It’s a wooden satellite. C. It looks like a SpaceX rocket. D. It’s near the International Space Station 33. What is the main purpose of LignoSat? A. To make the journey to space faster. B. To discover water sources in space. C. To bring space materials back to Earth. D. To test if wood is suitable for use in space. 34. What benefit does wood offer compared to metal for satellites according to paragraph 3? A. It is more environment-friendly. B. It can be found more easily. C. It provides more strength. D. It is cheaper. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. ISS: Wooden Addition B. LignoSat: Beyond Profit C. First Wooden Satellite: Eco-Space Travel D.

We spoke to booksellers Mia Wingfield and Helen Mair from The Alligator’s Mouth children’s bookshop in Richmond, London, about how they plan their shelves and create new arrangements. 36 With an organized bookshelf, you’ll be able to spot the things you’re most excited to read next. Choose a spot. Whether it’s in a special reading corner or on a bookshelf, it’s a good idea to keep all of your books together in one place. “It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by a mix of old favorites and new titles in a comfortable bookish corner,” says Wingfield. Gather your books together and start sorting. “ 37 Make the most of the space you have available — putting books on top of the shelves can be a good use of space,” says Mair. 第 6 页 共 8 页 Organize your books. At The Alligator’s Mouth, the shelves are organized in a few different ways — picture books are ordered alphabetically (按字母顺序地) by publisher; novels, poetry and storybooks by the author’s surname; and non-novel books are grouped in themes. “Have fun with it,” says Mair. “ 38 ” Present special books. Mair suggests a simple way to highlight a book on your shelf. 39 In other words, the cover should be pointing outwards instead of the spine (书脊). By doing this, you can showcase the book’s story more effectively. Sort and swap (交换). 40 “It’s hard to decide which ones are ready to go to a new home,” says Wingfield, but she adds, “It’s a great way to make way for new favorites and pass on favorites to other readers too.” A. Not everyone has room for a personal library. B. Regularly remove books you no longer need or want. C. This method includes placing a favorite book face-out. D. You can arrange your books in a way that makes sense to you. E. Here, they share tips on how to refresh your shelves and enjoy your books. F.

I had three months before college started, and I found it hard to choose a career path. My choices were limited. I could become a doctor or an engineer, or go into finance after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide. My uncle, one of the elders in the family, suggested that I be a one-month intern (毕业实习生) at an international company and then a one-month intern at a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a great idea. I was accepted as a one-month intern at a foreign bank. I learned how the finance world worked, made new friends, and enjoyed the relaxing working environment. The month passed quickly, and I started working at a leading hospital. This experience was completely different. The hospital was very demanding. The days started at 7 am (compared to 9 am at the bank) and were full of endless duties. It was crazy. I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank offered a more relaxing working environment, better working hours, and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and something unpredictable, but the studying and training were very hard. It seemed like business was going to win. In the last few days of my hospital internship, I was driving home after a very busy night. On the way, I saw an old man and an old woman standing by the road, looking very worried. I pulled over and asked what was wrong. The old man told me that his wife suddenly felt very sick and needed to go to the hospital immediately. Hearing this, I decided to help them. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I quickly got the old man and his wife into my car. _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to see the old man and his wife. _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________
