This workshop will not only provide a satisfying hands on experience but will also expand your knowledge of bike parts, how they work and how to maintain them.(我们敬业的教练将在这个为期5天的工坊里为您提供逐步指导，引导您打造自己的自行车。这个工坊不仅会提供令人满意的实践体验，还会拓展您对自行车部件、它们的工作原理以及如何保养它们的知识)”可知，参与者在工坊中可以获得制造自行车的专门知识。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Course Fees: $500 per participant (课程费用：每位学员500美元)”以及第二张图表中“10% Early Bird Discount For Sign ups Before 1 April (4月1日前报名可享9折优惠)”和“*Membership entitles you to an additional cash discount of $30(*会员资格使您享有30美元的额外现金折扣)”可知，课程费用每人500美元，4月1日前报名有10%的早鸟折扣，会员还有额外30美元的现金折扣。3月报名属于早鸟优惠，先打九折，500×(1-10%) = 450美元，会员再减去30美元，450-30 = 420美元。所以Urban Bike Shop的会员3月报名需支付420美元。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To promote the joy of cycling and serve as a platform where cyclists can set fitness goals, achieve them, and be rewarded for their efforts, we hope to connect cyclists and inspire them to share their experiences with our year long events.(为了推广骑行的乐趣，成为一个让骑行者可以设定健身目标、实现目标并因努力而获得奖励的平台，我们希望通过全年的活动将骑行者联系起来，并激励他们分享自己的经验)”可知，Urban Bike Shop的长期目标是为骑行者创建一个互动网络。故选C项。 B While touring Mississippi in an old car, John Ingall and his wife, Jane, discovered a plant that would change their lives — the hardshell gourd (葫芦). At first, it was mere curiosity, but soon, they saw gourds everywhere — carved, hanging, glowing as lanterns. Drawn to them, John, a lifelong farmer, decided to try growing them. Back in Warwickshire, he planted a few seeds among his tomatoes. The plants grew quickly, reaching six feet tall. Weeks later, he found large gourds hidden among the leaves. Since then, he has harvested about a hundred gourds each year, each with a different shape — some long and thin, others round. Unexpectedly, Ingall had been trying to retire when he first discovered gourds. After managing two farms — one from Jane’s family and another for growing crops — he had always planned to stop working at 65. Unlike many farmers who never retire, he wanted to find a new interest. Farming had been his childhood dream despite his parents’ objections. They, shaped by the Great Depression, had hoped he would take an office job. Yet, his love for rural life never faded. Over 45 years, he moved from dairy to beef, then organic farming, and finally letting the land return to nature. Change, he welcomed — but only in a controlled manner. Yet gourds pushed him beyond his comfort zone. “Not until I started working on them did I realize — I am an artist!” said John. Now, as one of the few gourd artists in the U. K., he creates lanterns with colored glass, astonishing visitors. As well as selling gourds through his personal studio, John markets them at art fairs, donating profits to fight the climate crisis. “It’s very satisfying. Gourds are an entirely sustainable material for many types of art, and every gourd is unique,” he says. “I enjoy growing them. It’s amazing what you can do with gourds.” 4. What motivated John to plant gourds? A. His wife’s encouragement. B. His desire for a new interest. C. His fascination with the plant. D. His longing for a big harvest. 5. What do we know about John? A. He resisted the life change. B. He favored organic farming. C. He had little interest in retiring. D. He went against his parents will. 6. What do gourds mean to John? A. A bond with people. B. A passion of lifetime. C. A means of earning money. D. A source of inspiration. 7. Which of the following can best describe John? A. Humorous and caring. B. Talented and generous. C. Committed and humble. D. Ambitious and sensitive. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了约翰邂逅葫芦并为之着迷，从而开始种植并利用葫芦创作艺术品的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At first, it was mere curiosity, but soon, they saw gourds everywhere — carved, hanging, glowing as lanterns. Drawn to them, John, a lifelong farmer, decided to try growing them.(起初，他们只是好奇，但很快，他们看到到处都是葫芦——雕刻的，悬挂的，像灯笼一样发光。一生务农的约翰被它们所吸引，决定尝试种植它们)”可知，约翰被葫芦所吸引才决定尝试种植它们。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Farming had been his childhood dream, despite his parents’ objections. They, shaped by the Great Depression, had hoped he would take an office job. Yet, his love for rural life never faded.(尽管父母反对，务农一直是他童年的梦想。受经济大萧条影响，他们希望他能找到一份办公室工作。然而，他对乡村生活的热爱从未消退)”可知约翰违背父母的意愿，从事了农业。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s very satisfying. Gourds are an entirely sustainable material for many types of art, and every gourd is unique,” he says. “I enjoy growing them. It’s amazing what you can do with gourds.”(“这非常令人满意。对于许多类型的艺术来说，葫芦都是一种完全可持续的材料，每一个葫芦都是独一无二的，”他说。“我喜欢种植它们。用葫芦能做的事真是太神奇了。”)”可知，对于约翰而言每个葫芦都是独特的，都是他艺术创作的灵感来源。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Now, as one of the few gourd artists in the U. K., he creates lanterns with colored glass, astonishing visitors.(现在，作为英国为数不多的葫芦艺术家之一，他用彩色玻璃制作灯笼，令游客惊叹不已)”和最后一段“As well as selling gourds through his personal studio, John markets them at art fairs, donating profits to fight the climate crisis.(除了通过他的个人工作室出售葫芦，约翰还在艺术博览会上推销葫芦，并将利润捐赠给应对气候危机)”可知，约翰不仅富有艺术天分而且慷慨。故选B。 C Do teenagers need to relax? Increasingly not just parents are seeking a break from work and family pressures but adolescents too, coping with “intense schooling and sports programmes”. So much so that the Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’ emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental wellness apps. Rina Raphael, author of The Gospel of Wellness, tells me wellness—physical and mental health—has replaced the once-dominant fashion and beauty industries. McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues. One of the problems the wellness sector aims to address is mental health. Blame for the mental health crisis has been laid on smartphones. But apps also offer a solution. Many, like Chill Panda and HappiMe are on the UK’s CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) website and in demand. A study in The Lancet concluded bans or restrictions at school don’t lead to “better mental wellbeing in adolescents.” Parents have a role too. An intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions. There’s nothing bad about forming healthy habits. But is the wellness industry responding to—or contributing to—the pressures young people face? Think about the new toy package Mattel released five years ago: Wellness Barbie—a more glowing and relaxed version of Barbie and a product in training children to become consumers of wellness. And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve the infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about? The idea that experiences bought by parents and offered by the wellness industry solve adolescent anxiety seems unpromising at best. As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” But I can’t see it ending. After all, as Ronald Purser, author of McMindfulness, told me: “You can never be too well; that’s why it’s a massive growth industry”. 8. What could be counted as a wellness activity? A. Aiming for top grades nonstop. B. Practicing mindfulness using an app. C. Checking social media for attention. D. Skipping meals to manage body shape. 9. What is a possible reason for teen mental health issues? A. A demand for services. B. A passion for sports. C. A ban on mental health. D. A lack of role models. 10. What would Rina Raphael agree with most? A. The fashion and beauty industries matter more to Gen Z. B. Teenagers are pressured to consume wellness products. C. Wellness Barbie assists children’s adaptation. D. Baby massage classes are not effective as expected. 11. What’s author’s attitude towards the wellness industry? A. Hopeful. B. Calm. C. Critical. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕青少年健康产业这一新兴现象，通过引用研究报告、专家观点和具体案例，分析了健康产业在应对青少年心理健康问题中的作用，同时也对其潜在的负面影响提出了质疑，突出理性思考、合理完善自我的核心价值引领。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“So much so that the Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’ emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental wellness apps. (其受重视程度可见一斑——全球健康峰会已将青少年健康领域列为 2025 年的趋势热点，该行业正聚焦于提升青少年的情绪智力 (情商)、心理韧性，并致力于通过度假胜地、静修营地以及心理健康类应用程序等途径，助力青少年在数字化世界中更好地适应与成长)”、第二段中“McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues. (麦肯锡报告指出，Z世代在正念相关健康产品 (如冥想课程、正念应用程序和心理咨询疗程)上的消费支出超过年龄更大的消费群体，他们甚至会寻求针对衰老相关健康问题的预防性解决方案)”可知，使用正念应用程序属于健康养生活动，而其他选项如追求高分、检查社交媒体或节食减肥并不符合健康养生活动的定义。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“An intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions. (密集型育儿常常使孩子缺乏父母社交或追求兴趣爱好的榜样)”可知，作者提到青少年心理健康问题的一个可能原因是缺乏榜样。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” (正如拉斐尔所指出的，健康产业的问题在于“它与生产力、美学以及消费主义紧密相连。这增添了一种压力，即你不得不一直致力于自我提升。”)”可知，Rina Raphael认为青少年面临消费健康产品的压力。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve the infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about? (那些婴儿按摩课程伪装成一种健康治疗，以改善婴儿的情绪和身体健康，这让我觉得很荒谬。婴儿有什么好担心的？)”以及第五段中“It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself. (它增加了一种压力，让你觉得必须不断改善自己)”可知，作者对健康养生行业持批评态度。故选C。 D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset—this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain and leading to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 12. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 13. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Helping insects adapt to city environments. B. Figuring out approaches to enhancing soil quality. C. Setting standards for city plants under artificial light. D. Finding ways to reduce harm from nighttime light. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造光对人类有益，但会干扰野生动物的自然睡眠周期，新研究还发现它会使树叶变硬，影响城市生态系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves.(研究人员发现，某一区域内人工光源越多，树叶就越坚韧。)”可知，人造光会使树叶变硬。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time.(他们并不完全明白其中缘由，但推测夜间处于人工光照环境下的树木可能会延长其光合作用的时间。)”和第三段中引用Ellen Cieraad的话“Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.(由于植物利用光进行生长，夜间的人工照明可能会不自然地延长树木进行光合作用的时间，促使树木将更多资源分配到能增强叶片坚韧度的化学物质上。)”可推知，引用Ellen Cieraad的话是为了支持第二段中研究人员的假设。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain and leading to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity.(植物的变化，以及植物与动物之间相互作用的改变，都可能对整个城市生态系统产生重大影响。以叶片为食的植食性昆虫可能难以生存，这会破坏食物链，并导致鸟类等捕食者数量减少，进而影响生物多样性。)”描述的现象可知，植物和动物间的小变化会影响整个城市生态系统，即小的变动可能会影响大局。故D项“A small move may affect the bigger picture.(微小举动或许会牵动整体局势)”能概括该段现象。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文提到人造光对生态系统的诸多影响和最后一段中“Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions.(展望未来，研究人员致力于进一步完善他们的发现，旨在引导人们采取相应行动。)”可推断，后续研究可能会关注减少夜间人造光影响的解决方案。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Poetry People are suffering from depression and anxiety now more than ever.

Poetry often reveals that there is universality (普遍性) in the human experience. ____19____ Many poems creatively tackle some sensitive topics like depression, anxiety, abuse, poverty, all of which can be found in a poetic form, empowering both the poet and the reader. To put it lightly, life is tough, but it’s important to remember that we’re not alone. The next time you’re feeling hopeless, try diving into the works of a poet. ____20____ Who knows? A. However, how does it work? B. But what’s so special about poetry? C. As the saying goes, misery loves company. D. Poetry can also be a platform for change and advocacy. E. You might be inspired to write some poetry of your own. F. Chances are that you will heat the love songs of the poet. G. The repetition and rhyme found in it can relieve our pain. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。读诗歌不仅能缓解人们内心的抑郁和焦虑，还能使人逃离到他人的精神世界，逃避自己现实中的困苦；诗歌使人产生同病相怜的感受，也是激励人们解决那些抑郁、焦虑、虐待、贫穷问题的平台。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s common sense that reading fiction can increase empathy (同理心). (阅读小说可以增加同理心，这是常识)”可知，B项“But what’s so special about poetry? (但诗歌有什么特别之处呢？)”符合语境，与上文形成转折关系。下文“Well, for decades, scientific studies have proven that poetry has a beneficial impact in managing pain, handling stress and improving personal well-being. (几十年来，科学研究已经证明诗歌对控制疼痛、处理压力和提高个人幸福感有有益的影响)”回答了B项的问句，上下文语意连贯顺畅。故选B项。 【17题详解】 本段第一句“Poetry can be a form of comfort. (诗歌可以是一种安慰)”为本段的中心句，根据上文“By reading poetry, we can get the escapism we long for, transporting us out of our own world and into someone else’s. (通过读诗，我们可以得到我们所渴望的逃避，把我们从自己的世界带到别人的世界)”可知，阅读诗歌使人逃避生活中的困苦，逃离到精神世界中；G项“The repetition and rhyme found in it con relieve our pain. (其中的重复和押韵可以减轻我们的痛苦)”则表明读诗歌可以减轻痛苦；下文“Trying to uncover the meaning of a poem can give us a necessary break from our inner monologue as well. (试图揭示诗歌的意义也可以让我们从内心独白中得到必要的休息)”可知，读诗歌使人暂时不纠结与自己的内心独白。上下文与G项三句并列，诠释中心句“诗歌可以是一种安慰”，上下文语意一致顺畅。故选G项。 【18题详解】 本段第一句“It can be a shared experience. (它可以是一种共同的经历)”为本段中心句；根据上文“Poems are often quite emotional in nature. (诗歌的本质往往是充满感情的)”可知，诗歌中会充满感情地描述人生中的一些特定的经历，下文“There’s something quite comforting in the knowledge that we’re not alone and that our pain is shared with someone else. (当我们知道我们并不孤独，我们的痛苦与他人分享时，会有一种相当安慰的感觉)”可知，当读者发现某首诗歌中的痛苦经历的描述，与自己的经历相同时，读者不再孤单，诗歌起到了安慰的作用，C项“As the saying goes, misery loves company. (俗话说，同病相怜)”解释了下文现象的原因，符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Many poems creatively tackle some sensitive topics like depression, anxiety, abuse, poverty, all of which can be found in a poetic form, empowering both the poet and the reader. (许多诗歌创造性地处理了一些敏感的话题，如抑郁、焦虑、虐待、贫穷，所有这些都可以用诗歌的形式找到，赋予诗人和读者力量)”可知，“读诗使人思变”应该是本段的主题，与D项“Poetry can also be a platform for change and advocacy. (诗歌也可以成为变革和倡导的平台)”相一致，D项为本段中心句，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The next time you’re feeling hopeless, try diving into the works of a poet.

Celebrated for its ____37____ (art) and cultural significance, Thangka was officially designated as part of China's intangible cultural heritage in 2006. One of the leading institutions ____38____ (commit) to the preservation and development of this ancient art is the Tibetan Academy of Thangka (TAT), which ____39____ (locate) in Lhasa.The academy specializes in the Mansar School of Thangka painting, renowned for its intricate designs and vibrant color schemes. Visitors ____40____ the TAT can witness the entire creative journey of a Mansar School Thangka, from the initial sketch to the final brushstroke. Creating a Thangka is a lengthy process that usually takes six to seven years to master. Sketching is a fundamental skill in Thangka painting. “The key to success lies in maintaining a steady hand. Simple ____41____ it may sound, it requires a substantial amount of practice. Actually, I spent four years ____42____ (perfect) that skill,” explained Goinqogyai, Vice President of the TAT. In the past, Thangka art was traditionally passed down from father to son or from master to apprentice, but exclusive to men only. However, this changed after the democratic reform in Xizang in the 1950s. Today, there are many schools in the region ____43____ courses are offered to teach Thangka art, and the proportion of female students is on the rise. “Among the ____44____ (graduate) last year, girls accounted for more than half,” said the authority. In recent years, numerous Thangka schools, studios, and university programs ____45____ (establish) to attract young people to this profession, ensuring that the rich tradition of Thangka painting continues to flourish. 【答案】36. a 37. artistic 38. committed 39. is located 40. to 41. as##though 42. perfecting 43. where 44. graduates 45. have been established 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了唐卡绘画这种独特的宗教艺术形式，包括其艺术和文化意义、传承机构、创作过程、传承方式的变化以及近年来的发展情况。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：唐卡绘画，一种在织物上制作的独特的宗教艺术形式，常被称为西藏文化的视觉百科全书。“unique form of religious art”表示“一种独特的宗教艺术形式”，这里需要用不定冠词来泛指 “一个，一种”，“unique”是以辅音音素开头的单词，故用“a”。故填a。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：唐卡因其艺术和文化意义而闻名，2006 年被正式指定为中国非物质文化遗产的一部分。“significance”是名词，需要用形容词来修饰，“art” 的形容词形式是 “artistic”，表示“艺术的”。故填artistic。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：致力于保护和发展这种古老艺术的主要机构之一是位于拉萨的西藏唐卡研究院（TAT）。 “be committed to”表示“致力于”，“institutions”与“commit”之间是逻辑被动关系，所以用过去分词“committed”作后置定语，修饰“institutions”。故填committed。 【39题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：致力于保护和发展这种古老艺术的主要机构之一是位于拉萨的西藏唐卡研究院（TAT）。 “which”引导非限制性定语从句，从句主语which指代先行词“the Tibetan Academy of Thangka (TAT)”，从句谓语动词“locate”与“the Tibetan Academy of Thangka (TAT)”之间是被动关系，且此处描述的是客观事实，所以用一般现在时的被动语态“is located”。故填is located。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：参观西藏唐卡研究院的游客可以目睹曼萨尔派唐卡从最初的草图到最后的笔触的整个创作过程。 “visitors to...”表示“去……的游客”，“to”表示方向，这里是指去西藏唐卡研究院的游客。故填to。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：“关键在于保持手的稳定。尽管这听起来很简单，但它需要大量的练习。实际上，我花了四年时间来完善这项技能，” 西藏唐卡研究院副院长贡觉加措解释说。根据句意可知，空处表示“尽管”，“Simple as/though it may sound” 是让步状语从句的倒装结构，相当于“Although/Though it may sound simple”，表示 “尽管听起来简单”。故填as/though。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“关键在于保持手的稳定。尽管这听起来很简单，但它需要大量的练习。实际上，我花了四年时间来完善这项技能，” 西藏唐卡研究院副院长贡觉加措解释说。“spend time (in) doing sth.”是固定结构，表示“花费时间做某事”，所以用动名词“perfecting”作宾语。故填perfecting。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：如今，该地区有许多学校开设了教授唐卡艺术的课程，女学生的比例在上升。该空引导限制性定语从句， 先行词“schools”，关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词“where”。故填where。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：“在去年的毕业生中，女生占了一半以上，” 有关部门说。 “graduate” 在这里是名词，意为“毕业生”，根据语境可知，这里指的是很多毕业生，所以用复数形式“graduates”。故填graduates。 【45题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：近年来，许多唐卡学校、工作室和大学课程已经建立，以吸引年轻人从事这一职业，确保唐卡绘画的丰富传统继续繁荣发展。“In recent years”是现在完成时的标志，“Thangka schools, studios, and university programs”与谓语动词“establish”之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态“have been established”。故填have been established。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假如你是李华。在即将升入高三之际，很多学生学习状态不佳，不适应逐渐加快的学习节奏。学生会邀请你作为学生代表在期末总结大会上给全校师生发表演讲，请你从以下几个方面准备一份英语发言稿： 1.指出现象；2.具体建议；3.表达祝愿。 注意：1.词数80左右；2.请在答题卡相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Good morning, everyone!

I made a quick sandwich and sat down next to him, asking him what was new. He turned to me in low spirits and said the council was planning to tear down the community garden nearby. He mentioned that he used to work on it with his dad, so the place had some childhood memories for him. He then put down the paper, walked over to the closet and after a bit of hunting, pulled out a thick, black bookInside, there were several old photos. After thumbing through a few pages, my dad found the one of him and his dad together at the community garden, just as he had said “Wow, your cheeks were super rosy back then!” I said, astonished. With nothing planned for the afternoon, my dad and I decided to take a trip over to the community garden to see how it was doing these days. Not good, as it turned out. Soda cans, cigarette ends and other garbage spread everywhere. Pots of soil were still there, but the few plants that remained were either dead or dying. We looked at each other and knew what we had to do. After gathering some tools and garbage bags, we went straight to clean up the place. I phoned some of my school friends, and soon a half-dozen people were collecting garbage and sweeping paths. Someone had even brought bags of fresh seeds and soil along with new flowers, so we uprooted the old dead plants and flowers and planted new ones. After a few hours, the community garden looked totally transformed. Despite our hard work, there was still the matter of the coming council vote. We created a plan: to take photos of the garden and spread the news about the vote. Using the photos, we would then collect signatures (签名) to show continued local interest and then present them to the council. 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。 Later, we came to the council with the signatures. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ultimately, we were pleased to see our efforts paid off. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例： Later, we came to the council with the signatures. In the meeting room, we met several council members who cared about the community garden. We presented our case for the garden, along with the signatures, and showed the photos of the garden before and after our clean-up, highlighting the positive changes we’d made. The signatures we collected demonstrated the strong local support for preserving the garden. The council members listened carefully, and we could see their expressions softening as they realized what this garden meant to the community. They held a debate on whether to go through with the plan to preserve the garden. Ultimately, we were pleased to see our efforts paid off. A few weeks later, we got the news that the council had voted and decided to save the garden. My dad and I hugged each other tightly, tears of joy in our eyes. It was a victory for everyone who had worked so hard to make a difference. The garden became a place where people could come together and enjoy natureIt was a reminder that even small actions could lead to big changes when people came together with a common goal. We celebrated our success with a gathering at the garden, feeling proud of what we’d achieved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个困倦的星期天早上，从父亲那了解到市政议会计划拆除附近社区花园，这是给作者父亲留下了一些美好的童年回忆的地方，所以作者与父亲去社区花园看看情况，发现花园里垃圾遍地，花草枯萎，于是拿起工具并叫上几个朋友一起帮助清理并重新改造社区花园，几个小时候，社区花园变了一幅面貌，并且制定计划争取留住社区花园的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，我们带着签名来到理事会。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们为留住社区花园都做些什么努力。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，我们很高兴看到我们的努力得到了回报”可知，第二段可描写花园最终保住了，以及后期社区花园的变化以及作者与父亲的感受。 2. 续写线索：拍照签名收集——为社区花园辩护——理事会成员商议——否决拆除计划——社区花园的变化——父亲与作者的感受。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：present/display ②证明：demonstrate/prove ③组织：hold/organize 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/pleasure ②自豪的：proud/noble 【点睛】[高分句型1]In the meeting room, we met several council members who cared about the community garden.(who引导的定语从句) [高分句型2]A few weeks later, we got the news that the council had voted and decided to save the garden.(that引导的同位语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南昌中学2024-2025学年度下学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B While touring Mississippi in an old car, John Ingall and his wife, Jane, discovered a plant that would change their lives — the hardshell gourd (葫芦). At first, it was mere curiosity, but soon, they saw gourds everywhere — carved, hanging, glowing as lanterns. Drawn to them, John, a lifelong farmer, decided to try growing them. Back in Warwickshire, he planted a few seeds among his tomatoes. The plants grew quickly, reaching six feet tall. Weeks later, he found large gourds hidden among the leaves. Since then, he has harvested about a hundred gourds each year, each with a different shape — some long and thin, others round. Unexpectedly, Ingall had been trying to retire when he first discovered gourds. After managing two farms — one from Jane’s family and another for growing crops — he had always planned to stop working at 65. Unlike many farmers who never retire, he wanted to find a new interest. Farming had been his childhood dream, despite his parents’ objections. They, shaped by the Great Depression, had hoped he would take an office job. Yet, his love for rural life never faded. Over 45 years, he moved from dairy to beef, then organic farming, and finally letting the land return to nature. Change, he welcomed — but only in a controlled manner. Yet gourds pushed him beyond his comfort zone. “Not until I started working on them did I realize — I am an artist!” said John. Now, as one of the few gourd artists in the U. K., he creates lanterns with colored glass, astonishing visitors. As well as selling gourds through his personal studio, John markets them at art fairs, donating profits to fight the climate crisis. “It’s very satisfying. Gourds are an entirely sustainable material for many types of art, and every gourd is unique,” he says. “I enjoy growing them. It’s amazing what you can do with gourds.” 4. What motivated John to plant gourds? A. His wife’s encouragement. B. His desire for a new interest. C. His fascination with the plant. D. His longing for a big harvest. 5. What do we know about John? A. He resisted the life change. B. He favored organic farming. C. He had little interest in retiring. D. He went against his parents will. 6. What do gourds mean to John? A. A bond with people. B. A passion of lifetime. C. A means of earning money. D. A source of inspiration. 7. Which of the following can best describe John? A. Humorous and caring. B. Talented and generous. C. Committed and humble. D. Ambitious and sensitive. C Do teenagers need to relax? Increasingly not just parents are seeking a break from work and family pressures but adolescents too, coping with “intense schooling and sports programmes”. So much so that the Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’ emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental wellness apps. Rina Raphael, author of The Gospel of Wellness, tells me wellness—physical and mental health—has replaced the once-dominant fashion and beauty industries. McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues. One of the problems the wellness sector aims to address is mental health. Blame for the mental health crisis has been laid on smartphones. But apps also offer a solution. Many, like Chill Panda and HappiMe are on the UK’s CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) website and in demand. A study in The Lancet concluded bans or restrictions at school don’t lead to “better mental wellbeing in adolescents.” Parents have a role too. An intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions. There’s nothing bad about forming healthy habits. But is the wellness industry responding to—or contributing to—the pressures young people face? Think about the new toy package Mattel released five years ago: Wellness Barbie—a more glowing and relaxed version of Barbie and a product in training children to become consumers of wellness. And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve the infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about? The idea that experiences bought by parents and offered by the wellness industry solve adolescent anxiety seems unpromising at best. As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” But I can’t see it ending. After all, as Ronald Purser, author of McMindfulness, told me: “You can never be too well; that’s why it’s a massive growth industry”. 8. What could be counted as a wellness activity? A. Aiming for top grades nonstop. B. Practicing mindfulness using an app. C. Checking social media for attention. D. Skipping meals to manage body shape. 9.

For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain and leading to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 12. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 13. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Helping insects adapt to city environments. B. Figuring out approaches to enhancing soil quality. C. Setting standards for city plants under artificial light. D. Finding ways to reduce harm from nighttime light. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Poetry People are suffering from depression and anxiety now more than ever.

I made a quick sandwich and sat down next to him, asking him what was new. He turned to me in low spirits and said the council was planning to tear down the community garden nearby. He mentioned that he used to work on it with his dad, so the place had some childhood memories for him. He then put down the paper, walked over to the closet and after a bit of hunting, pulled out a thick, black bookInside, there were several old photos. After thumbing through a few pages, my dad found the one of him and his dad together at the community garden, just as he had said “Wow, your cheeks were super rosy back then!” I said, astonished. With nothing planned for the afternoon, my dad and I decided to take a trip over to the community garden to see how it was doing these days. Not good, as it turned out. Soda cans, cigarette ends and other garbage spread everywhere. Pots of soil were still there, but the few plants that remained were either dead or dying. We looked at each other and knew what we had to do. After gathering some tools and garbage bags, we went straight to clean up the place. I phoned some of my school friends, and soon a half-dozen people were collecting garbage and sweeping paths. Someone had even brought bags of fresh seeds and soil along with new flowers, so we uprooted the old dead plants and flowers and planted new ones. After a few hours, the community garden looked totally transformed. Despite our hard work, there was still the matter of the coming council vote. We created a plan: to take photos of the garden and spread the news about the vote.
