These individuals, and their loved ones, know decreased mobility can result in loss of independence, pain and an increased risk of falls. They are often stuck at home, missing out on a variety of activities, in a bad cycle that reduces their quality of life. (超过五分之一的美国人受到行动不便的影响。这些人以及他们的亲人都知道，活动能力下降会导致独立性丧失、疼痛和摔倒风险增加。他们经常被困在家里，错过了各种各样的活动，陷入了一个降低生活质量的恶性循环。)”和下文介绍了Journey Air Elite这种设备，说它能改善生活，让行动不便的人参与之前错过的活动。所以最能从Journey Air Elite受益的是那些行动有困难的人，故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, carbon fiber material invented for the aerospace program has been used to create the ultimate light mobility device. It’s called the Journey Air Elite — an innovation unlike anything else available today. (现在，为航空航天项目发明的碳纤维材料已经被用于制造终极轻型移动设备。它被称为“Journey Air Elite”，这是一项与当今市面上任何产品都不同的创新。)”和第三段“At only 26 pounds, the Journey Air Elite combines lightweight portability with world-class performance. (只有26磅，Journey Air Elite结合轻量级便携性与世界一流的性能。)”可知其特殊材料带来的轻便设计是优势，故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章详细介绍了Journey Air Elite这种设备的特点、优势，如轻便、灵活、舒适易操作等，最后还给出了免费客服电话以及订购时需提及的代码，这些都是产品广告的典型特征，所以这篇文章很可能来自产品广告，故选D。 B Five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on its skin to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with the old skin flowing behind it. I didn’t think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months. The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband’s birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special — a birthday cake. Two hours before my husband came home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday. Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance. The poignancy (辛酸) of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched the layer that no longer had his basketball uniform and replaced it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the player him take off his basketball who they were after. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with them, who they were after shedding skin as different. Just like us, I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind. Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new. 4. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1? A. It shed skin off. B. It got a strange disease. C. Its tank grew dirty. D. It ran out of the tank. 5. Why did the author’s husband have banana pudding for his birthday? A. The birthday cake was ruined. B. The birthday cake tasted terrible. C. Pudding was his favourite dessert. D. They couldn’t afford a birthday cake. 6. What is the author’s purpose by mentioning The Last Dance in the passage? A. To provide an example. B. To give the background. C. To define a concept. D. To develop the theme. 7. What message does the author convey? A. Past experiences should be treasured. B. We should move on whatever happens. C. Love of family helps us survive great hardships. D. It doesn’t matter much even if we break many things. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是作者通过观察家中宠物蜥蜴蜕皮，以及家庭生活中经历的一系列意外和变故（如丈夫失业、物品摔碎、生活不顺等），联想到迈克尔·乔丹退役转型的纪录片《最后一舞》，最终领悟到人生需要像蜥蜴蜕皮一样，学会放下过去、接受改变、勇敢前行的深刻主题。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I reported the strange surface on its skin to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with the old skin flowing behind it.(第二天一早，我就把蜥蜴皮肤上这层奇怪的覆盖物告诉了丈夫和孩子们。几秒钟后，我们的蜥蜴从饲养箱里爬了出来，旧皮从身上脱落，拖在身后。)”可知，宠物蜥蜴旧的皮肤脱落了。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away.(花瓶摔落，在蛋糕旁摔得粉碎，玻璃碴儿到处都是。女儿放声大哭，我只好把蛋糕扔掉。)”可知，作者的丈夫过生日吃了香蕉布丁是因为生日蛋糕毁了。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The poignancy (辛酸) of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched the layer that no longer had his basketball uniform and replaced it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the player him take off his basketball who they were after. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with them, who they were after shedding skin as different. Just like us, I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.(乔丹告别心爱的篮球，转而投身棒球运动，这一抉择背后的辛酸，以及是什么促使他做出如此艰难的决定，都让我深感意外。看着他脱下篮球服，换上棒球服的那一刻，我仿佛看到他告别了曾经的自己。无论是他还是我们，都无法选择那个改变自己的时刻，但都必须接受改变后的自己，如同蜕皮后焕然一新的模样。我意识到，我们也必须学会放下过去。)”可推知，作者在文章中提到The Last Dance是为了展开文章关于放手过去，重新开始的主题。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.(人类不像其他动物那样能轻易蜕皮。改变的开端总是令人不安，过程也疲惫不堪。伤痛往往在我们还未准备好时就将我们改变。我看着我们家那只蜥蜴，它蜕皮后显得那么稚嫩，却也近乎全新。)”可推知，作者最有可能想告诉我们无论发生什么，我们都应该继续前进。 故选B。 C In 1910, the Los Angeles Times ran a story about a boy tasked with opening a valve (阀门) on a steam-powered water pump to release built - up pressure. His entire job was staring at the machines all day, an incredibly boring task. The “lazy” boy, however, invented an automatic release that let the pump run properly, winning his freedom — and in doing so, creating the first automatic steam engine. Though the story may be fictional, the boy’s behavior reflects a deeper truth: When we feel lazy, we often look for easier ways, trying to improve processes and save time and effort. In other words, laziness can drive innovation. In recent years, some psychologists and business leaders have come to grasp this insight, shifting our view of what laziness really means. Walter Chrysler is said to have noted: “I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” Our brains are naturally inclined toward laziness. Unlike our ancestors, who had to conserve energy to compete for food, flee predators, and fight, we no longer face survival as a daily concern. It might seem natural to be “lazier,” but the opposite has happened. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans now sleep less and work more than before; worker productivity has risen 400 percent since 1950. Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how hard we work. So we push even harder to produce more. Yet there’s a big, sad paradox: The harder we work, the less productive we become. When demands rise, we tend to push harder. But without rest and recharge, we grow less efficient, make more mistakes, and feel less engaged. So how can we make labor more meaningful and life more fulfilling? Current research in psychology and neuroscience points to valuing a wandering mind. Take breaks, let thoughts drift — learn to be idle. This week, notice downtime in your day, empty spaces on your calendar. Instead of filling them with more work, just sit on the sofa and be, as poet Mary Oliver put it, “idle and blessed.” 8. What is the author’s attitude to the boy opening the valve? A. Dismissive. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 9. What can be concluded from paragraph 4? A. Contemporary society respects creativity. B. Americans are living a worse life than before. C. Our ancestors considered work unbearable. D. People nowadays still need to struggle with poverty. 10. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Wild imagination. B. Unclear explanation. C. Strange contradiction. D. Rare phenomenon. 11. What is the author’s purpose writing the text? A. Compare the old and new views on laziness. B. Criticize irresponsible attitude towards hard work. C. Advise people to abandon the value of hard work. D. Inspire people to stay refreshed for better work and life. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章借男孩发明自动蒸汽发动机的故事引出“懒惰能驱动创新”观点，指出当下人们虽大脑倾向懒惰却工作更努力，陷入努力工作但效率降低的矛盾，建议人们学会休息放空，让工作和生活更有意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Though the story may be fictional, the boy’s behavior reflects a deeper truth: When we feel lazy, we often look for easier ways, trying to improve processes and save time and effort. In other words, laziness can drive innovation. (虽然这个故事可能是虚构的，但这个男孩的行为反映了一个更深层次的事实：当我们感到懒惰时，我们通常会寻找更简单的方法，试图改善流程，节省时间和精力。换句话说，懒惰可以推动创新。)”可推断作者对男孩这种看似懒惰实则创新的行为是支持的。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Our brains are naturally inclined toward laziness. Unlike our ancestors, who had to conserve energy to compete for food, flee predators, and fight, we no longer face survival as a daily concern. It might seem natural to be “lazier,” but the opposite has happened. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans now sleep less and work more than before; worker productivity has risen 400 percent since 1950. Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how hard we work. So we push even harder to produce more. (我们的大脑天生就倾向于懒惰。与我们的祖先不同，他们必须保存能量来争夺食物，逃离掠食者，并进行战斗，我们不再把生存作为日常关注的问题。“更懒”似乎很自然，但事实恰恰相反。根据美国劳工统计局的数据，美国人现在比以前睡得更少，工作得更多；自1950年以来，工人的生产率提高了400%。我们的文化告诉我们，我们的价值取决于我们工作的努力程度。因此，我们更加努力地生产更多产品。)”指出美国人睡眠更少、工作时间更长且生产率激增但文化过度推崇“价值取决于努力工作”。此现象暗示生活压力增大，所以美国人的生活比以前更糟糕。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The harder we work, the less productive we become. (我们工作越努力，效率却越低)”可知，工作越努力，效率却越低，是一种奇怪的矛盾情况，所以“paradox”意思是“Strange contradiction (奇怪的矛盾)”，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章先阐述懒惰能驱动创新，接着指出人们工作中努力却低效的问题，再根据最后一段“So how can we make labor more meaningful and life more fulfilling? Current research in psychology and neuroscience points to valuing a wandering mind. Take breaks, let thoughts drift — learn to be idle. This week, notice downtime in your day, empty spaces on your calendar. Instead of filling them with more work, just sit on the sofa and be, as poet Mary Oliver put it, “idle and blessed.” (那么，我们怎样才能让劳动更有意义，让生活更充实呢？目前心理学和神经科学的研究表明，人们重视走神。休息一下，让思绪飘散——学会闲散。这周，注意你一天中的休息时间，日历上的空白时间。与其用更多的工作填满它们，不如坐在沙发上，像诗人玛丽·奥利弗所说的那样，“悠闲而幸福”)”可推断作者目的是激励人们保持精神饱满，以获得更好的工作和生活。故选D。 D The conservation of rhinos has generally been a successful story. Southern white rhinos have increased from a few dozen 100 years ago to more than 20,000 in 2015. Initially, population increases were praised as an outcome of the international trade ban on rhino horn established in 1977 and enforced by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). However, increased poaching (偷猎) has led numbers to fall again in recent years. This long-standing policy, in which countries without rhinos put bans on rhino-holding states, has not worked. Legalizing the rhino horn trade would improve conservation success. Rhino numbers had already increased before the ban was established, particularly in areas where private rhino guardianship was allowed, such as in South Africa. Roughly half of the world’s white rhino population is privately managed today, providing important ecosystem services. However, since 2010, demand for white rhino horn and large-scale poaching activities have increased. Since then, white rhino numbers have decreased by nearly 1,000 per year. By 2024, gold poachers had violated (违反) all the existing conservation measures as horn prices exceeded (超过) gold prices in international illegal markets. Facing the lack of confidence, security costs and international illegal safety, rhino guardians are now giving up their duties. At the same time, state rhino sanctuaries, such as Kruger National Park have decided to continuously dehorn rhinos to prevent poaching, but with limited success. The high number of deaths has destroyed the rhinos’ social systems and changed their behavior. Rhino horn is a renewable resource that grows like fingernails. To protect white rhino populations effectively, the international trade of rhino horn should be legalized and carefully monitored, including the tracking of each sample. Legal trade — the preferred option of rhino consumers — will prevent poachers from transporting rhino horns illegally and enable essential private rhino guardianship. Legalized trade provides the best chance for the future of white rhino populations. 12. What caused the increase in white rhino numbers at first? A. Stricter anti-poaching laws. B. The global trade ban on rhino horn. C. Expanded international white rhino trade. D. Long-standing policy of creating more national parks. 13. What can we learn about the conservation measures? A. They effectively prevent poaching. B. They fail to stop the growing poaching. C. They cause a rise in horn prices in illegal markets. D. They significantly reduce demand for rhino horn. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Poaching destroys rhinos’ social systems. B. Dehorning rhinos continuously reduces poaching. C. Rhino guardians take effective anti-poaching steps. D. Current rhino conservation efforts face severe challenges. 15. Which is a suitable title of the text? A. White Rhino Conservation: A Successful Story. B. White Rhino Populations: The Impact of Poaching. C. Legalizing Horn Trade: A Key to White Rhino Protection. D. Private Guardianship: A Must for White Rhinos’ Survival. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者讨论了犀牛的保护问题，认为应该通过让白犀牛牛角贸易合法化来阻止偷猎者对白犀牛的偷猎捕杀，从而更好地保护白犀牛种群。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Initially, population increases were praised as an outcome of the international trade ban on rhino horn established in 1977 and enforced by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).(最初，人口增长被称赞为1977年建立的国际犀牛角贸易禁令的结果，该禁令由《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》（CITES）执行)”可知，最初白犀牛数量增加是因为普遍的犀牛角贸易禁令。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, since 2010, demand for white rhino horn and large - scale poaching activities have increased. Since then, white rhino numbers have decreased by nearly 1,000 per year. By 2024, gold poachers had violated (违反) all the existing conservation measures as horn prices exceeded (超过) gold prices in international illegal markets.(然而，自2010年以来，对白犀牛角的需求和大规模偷猎活动有所增加。从那时起，白犀牛的数量每年减少近1000头。到2024年，由于国际非法市场上犀牛角的价格超过了黄金价格，偷猎者已经违反了所有现有的保护措施)”可知，现有的保护措施不足以阻止偷猎行为的增加。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Facing the lack of confidence, security costs and international illegal safety, rhino guardians are now giving up their duties. At the same time, state rhino sanctuaries, such as Kruger National Park have decided to continuously dehorn rhinos to prevent poaching, but with limited success. The high number of deaths has destroyed the rhinos’ social systems and changed their behavior.(面对缺乏信心，安全成本和国际非法安全，犀牛监护人现在正在放弃他们的职责。与此同时，克鲁格国家公园（Kruger National Park）等州立犀牛保护区决定继续为犀牛去角，以防止偷猎，但成效有限。大量的死亡破坏了犀牛的社会体系，改变了它们的行为)”可知，第四段主要讲的是目前犀牛保护工作面临严峻挑战。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To protect white rhino populations effectively, the international trade of rhino horn should be legalized and carefully monitored, including the tracking of each sample. Legal trade — the preferred option of rhino consumers—will prevent poachers from transporting rhino horns illegally and enable essential private rhino guardianship. Legalized trade provides the best chance for the future of white rhino populations.(为了有效地保护白犀牛种群，犀牛角的国际贸易应该合法化并仔细监控，包括跟踪每个样本。合法贸易——犀牛消费者的首选——将阻止偷猎者非法运输犀牛角，并实现必要的犀牛私人监护。合法贸易为白犀牛种群的未来提供了最好的机会。)”可知，文章主要围绕合法化犀牛角贸易对保护白犀牛的重要性展开论述。选项C“Legalizing Horn Trade: A Key to White Rhino Protection.(合法化犀牛角贸易：保护白犀牛的关键)”为短文的最佳标题，故选C。 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。 Suppose you were promised $1,440 each day that comes to $525,600 a year. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Actually, we all do get 1,440 a day — but in minutes, not dollars. ____16____ It’s possible to get more money, but you can’t make more time. Many of the money management practices can also be applied to your “time currency.” But the question is, are you a good manager of your time? ____17____ Find out where your time is going now. ____18____Include your work, study, cooking and meals, cleaning and sleep, family time and mindless activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social media. Invest a few minutes every morning to plan and organize. Ten minutes of planning can save you an hour of time, stretching the time you have. “Once people have a clear picture, they actually do have a lot more time than they realize.” Clark, the founder of the Purposeful Planner says. You can also set limits. Use kitchen timers, apps or other timing devices to stay focused and work more productively. ____19____ When you have missions (任务), instead of making three separate trips on three different days to buy groceries, office supplies or home store products, integrate them. It’s more efficient to finish “little one - off” tasks. At the end of the day, take a look at how well you’ve managed your time. Booren compares this progress check to reviewing your annual “financial statement.” ____20____Do that over and over and “it forms habit and becomes natural.” Booren says. A. Write down everything you do in a day. B. Try these simple steps to take control of your clock. C. Time is one of the most limited resources for people. D. Grouping small tasks into one proves helpful in daily produce. E. Focus on what you’re doing and avoid repeating the same process. F. The most important tasks are not necessarily the most pressing ones. G. Take time each day to reflect on your achievements and set goals for tomorrow. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要提出了让你成为优秀的时间管理者的建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“Actually, we all do get 1,440 a day — but in minutes, not dollars.(事实上，我们每天都有1440个单位 —— 但那是分钟，不是美元)”及下文“It’s possible to get more money, but you can’t make more time.(钱可以赚更多，但时间无法创造更多)”可知，空格处需强调时间的特殊性。C项Time is one of the most limited resources for people.(时间是人类最有限的资源之一)承接“时间无法增多”的观点，解释了时间与金钱的本质区别，其中“limited resources”呼应下文“can’t make more time”。故选C项。 【17题详解】 由上文“But the question is, are you a good manager of your time?(但问题是，你是否是一个好的时间管理者？)”及下文列举的时间管理方法可知，空格处需过渡到具体的解决办法。B项Try these simple steps to take control of your clock.(试试这些简单的步骤来掌控你的时间。)作为承上启下的句子，“these steps”指代下文的计划、设限等方法，回应了“如何管理时间”的问题。故选B项。 【18题详解】 由上文“Find out where your time is going now.(现在弄清楚你的时间都花在哪里了)”及下文“Include your work, study, cooking and meals, cleaning and sleep, family time and mindless activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social media.(包括你的工作、学习、烹饪和用餐、清洁和睡眠、家庭时间以及看电视和在社交媒体上迷路等无脑活动)”可知，空格处需说明“弄清楚时间去向”的具体做法。A项Write down everything you do in a day.(写下你一天中做的所有事情)中的“write down everything”与下文列举的各类活动呼应，是“追踪时间”的实际操作方式。故选A项。 【19题详解】 由下文“When you have missions (任务), instead of making three separate trips on three different days to buy groceries, office supplies or home store products, integrate them. It’s more efficient to finish “little one-off” tasks.(当你有任务时，与其在三天内分别旅行三次购买杂货、办公用品或家居用品，不如将它们整合在一起。完成“一次性”任务更有效)”可知，此处强调将零散任务合并处理。D项Grouping small tasks into one proves helpful in daily produce.(将小任务合并成一个在日常效率中很有帮助)作为段落主题句，“grouping small tasks”与下文“integrate them”、“one-off tasks”直接对应，点明合并任务的好处。故选D项。 【20题详解】 由上文“At the end of the day, take a look at how well you’ve managed your time.(在一天结束时，看看你对时间的管理有多好)”及下文“Do that over and over and “it forms habit and becomes natural.” Booren says.(反复这样做，“它会形成习惯，变得自然。”博伦说)”可知，空格处需说明每日反思的具体内容。G项Take time each day to reflect on your achievements and set goals for tomorrow.(每天花时间反思你的成就，并为明天设定目标)中的“reflect on achievements”、“set goals”呼应“检查时间管理情况”的要求，且“each day”与“over and over”衔接，符合形成习惯的逻辑。故选G项。 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My brother and I are exactly one year apart.

This event was her golden ticket to let peers and teachers witness how she perceived the world uniquely through vivid colors and delicate brushstrokes. For weeks, she’d buried herself in creating a painting themed on “Seasons of Hope”, pouring her soul into every detail, from the blooming spring flowers to the frost-kissed winter branches. The canvas (画布) felt like a piece of her. However, a heart-breaking accident ruined everything. One evening, reaching for white paint to add snow, her elbow knocked over a jar of deep blue. The color splashed across the canvas, ruining the careful transition from autumn to winter. With merely three days until the submission deadline, panic squeezed her chest. To make matters worse, the next day in a gym class she sprained her right wrist. Now, holding a brush sent sharp pain up her arm, and her hand trembled too much to make steady lines. She stared at the damaged painting and her useless hand, tears blurring her vision. Despair overwhelmed her, as if her artistic dream was slipping away. Lily’s best friend Tom sensed something was wrong. He had seen her excitement when talking about the art show, and now that spark was gone, replaced by a hollow, listless look. Determined to help, he racked his brain for ways to lift her spirits. Meanwhile, Mrs. Smith, the art teacher, had noticed, too. She’d seen Lily’s sketches for “Seasons of Hope” and admired their warmth; now, the girl’s slumped shoulders and avoided glances told a story of despair. She found herself wondering how to remind Lily that art, like life, often finds beauty in unexpected places. 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Tom showed up at Lily’s house with a box of craft supplies, a big idea forming in his mind. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Smith walked over after class, holding an old sketchbook (素描本). __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom showed up at Lily’s house with a box of craft supplies, a big idea forming in his mind. “What if we turn the blue splash into something beautiful?” he suggested, dumping out glitter, tissue paper, and foam shapes. He helped Lily prop up the canvas, and together they brainstormed. The deep blue became a starry night sky over the winter scene — Tom cut out silver stars from foam, and Lily, using her left hand with his steadying help, glued them on. Her sprained wrist still ached, but laughter replaced tears as they worked. By midnight, the “ruined” transition now held a magical glow, with constellations twinkling above the frost-kissed branches. “See?” Tom grinned happily, “Mistakes can be doorways.” Mrs. Smith walked over after class, holding an old sketchbook. Flipping to a page, she revealed a watercolor where a coffee stain had been transformed into a sunset. “I spilled on this 20 years ago,” she said softly. “At first I cried, then realized the stain added depth that no brush could mimic.” She pointed to Lily’s canvas. “That blue isn’t a disaster — it’s a chance to make everyone surprised, including yourself.” Lily traced the starry sky with her good hand. With new courage, she picked up a sponge in her left hand, dabbing light blue around the stars to make them glow. Three days later, “Seasons of Hope” hung in the show, its unexpected night sky drawing more gasps than any perfect transition ever could. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述高中生莉莉满怀热情创作画作，希望能在学校年度艺术展上展示，却因意外弄脏画布、扭伤手腕陷入绝望。她的好友汤姆和美术老师史密斯夫人察觉到她的困境，决心帮助她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“汤姆带着一箱手工材料来到莉莉家，脑子里正酝酿着一个好主意。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容：汤姆带手工材料帮莉莉，提议将蓝色污渍变星空，两人合作改造画作，让“毁掉”的部分焕发魔力。 ②由第二段首句“史密斯夫人课后走来，拿着一本旧素描本。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容：史密斯夫人用旧作鼓励莉莉，莉莉改造画作，其意外夜空在展上更引人惊叹。 2.续写线索：汤姆帮莉莉——将蓝色污渍变星空——史密斯夫人鼓励莉莉——莉莉继续改造画作——画作引人惊叹 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.建议：suggest/advise/recommend ②.帮助：help/do sb a favor/assist ③.代替：replace/take the place of 情绪类 ①.高兴地：happily/gladly/merrily ②.惊讶的：surprised /amazed /astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1].

I reported the strange surface on its skin to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with the old skin flowing behind it. I didn’t think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months. The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband’s birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special — a birthday cake. Two hours before my husband came home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday. Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance. The poignancy (辛酸) of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched the layer that no longer had his basketball uniform and replaced it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the player him take off his basketball who they were after. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with them, who they were after shedding skin as different. Just like us, I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind. Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new. 4. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1? A. It shed skin off. B. It got a strange disease. C. Its tank grew dirty. D. It ran out of the tank. 5. Why did the author’s husband have banana pudding for his birthday? A. The birthday cake was ruined. B. The birthday cake tasted terrible. C. Pudding was his favourite dessert. D. They couldn’t afford a birthday cake. 6. What is the author’s purpose by mentioning The Last Dance in the passage? A. To provide an example. B. To give the background. C. To define a concept. D. To develop the theme. 7. What message does the author convey? A. Past experiences should be treasured. B. We should move on whatever happens. C. Love of family helps us survive great hardships. D. It doesn’t matter much even if we break many things. C In 1910, the Los Angeles Times ran a story about a boy tasked with opening a valve (阀门) on a steam-powered water pump to release built - up pressure. His entire job was staring at the machines all day, an incredibly boring task. The “lazy” boy, however, invented an automatic release that let the pump run properly, winning his freedom — and in doing so, creating the first automatic steam engine. Though the story may be fictional, the boy’s behavior reflects a deeper truth: When we feel lazy, we often look for easier ways, trying to improve processes and save time and effort. In other words, laziness can drive innovation. In recent years, some psychologists and business leaders have come to grasp this insight, shifting our view of what laziness really means. Walter Chrysler is said to have noted: “I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” Our brains are naturally inclined toward laziness. Unlike our ancestors, who had to conserve energy to compete for food, flee predators, and fight, we no longer face survival as a daily concern. It might seem natural to be “lazier,” but the opposite has happened. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans now sleep less and work more than before; worker productivity has risen 400 percent since 1950. Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how hard we work. So we push even harder to produce more. Yet there’s a big, sad paradox: The harder we work, the less productive we become. When demands rise, we tend to push harder. But without rest and recharge, we grow less efficient, make more mistakes, and feel less engaged. So how can we make labor more meaningful and life more fulfilling? Current research in psychology and neuroscience points to valuing a wandering mind. Take breaks, let thoughts drift — learn to be idle. This week, notice downtime in your day, empty spaces on your calendar. Instead of filling them with more work, just sit on the sofa and be, as poet Mary Oliver put it, “idle and blessed.” 8. What is the author’s attitude to the boy opening the valve? A. Dismissive. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 9. What can be concluded from paragraph 4? A. Contemporary society respects creativity. B. Americans are living a worse life than before. C. Our ancestors considered work unbearable. D. People nowadays still need to struggle with poverty. 10. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Wild imagination. B. Unclear explanation. C. Strange contradiction. D. Rare phenomenon. 11. What is the author’s purpose writing the text? A. Compare the old and new views on laziness. B. Criticize irresponsible attitude towards hard work. C. Advise people to abandon the value of hard work. D. Inspire people to stay refreshed for better work and life. D The conservation of rhinos has generally been a successful story. Southern white rhinos have increased from a few dozen 100 years ago to more than 20,000 in 2015. Initially, population increases were praised as an outcome of the international trade ban on rhino horn established in 1977 and enforced by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). However, increased poaching (偷猎) has led numbers to fall again in recent years. This long-standing policy, in which countries without rhinos put bans on rhino-holding states, has not worked. Legalizing the rhino horn trade would improve conservation success. Rhino numbers had already increased before the ban was established, particularly in areas where private rhino guardianship was allowed, such as in South Africa. Roughly half of the world’s white rhino population is privately managed today, providing important ecosystem services. However, since 2010, demand for white rhino horn and large-scale poaching activities have increased. Since then, white rhino numbers have decreased by nearly 1,000 per year. By 2024, gold poachers had violated (违反) all the existing conservation measures as horn prices exceeded (超过) gold prices in international illegal markets. Facing the lack of confidence, security costs and international illegal safety, rhino guardians are now giving up their duties. At the same time, state rhino sanctuaries, such as Kruger National Park have decided to continuously dehorn rhinos to prevent poaching, but with limited success. The high number of deaths has destroyed the rhinos’ social systems and changed their behavior. Rhino horn is a renewable resource that grows like fingernails. To protect white rhino populations effectively, the international trade of rhino horn should be legalized and carefully monitored, including the tracking of each sample. Legal trade — the preferred option of rhino consumers — will prevent poachers from transporting rhino horns illegally and enable essential private rhino guardianship. Legalized trade provides the best chance for the future of white rhino populations. 12. What caused the increase in white rhino numbers at first? A. Stricter anti-poaching laws. B. The global trade ban on rhino horn. C. Expanded international white rhino trade. D. Long-standing policy of creating more national parks. 13. What can we learn about the conservation measures? A. They effectively prevent poaching. B. They fail to stop the growing poaching. C. They cause a rise in horn prices in illegal markets. D. They significantly reduce demand for rhino horn. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Poaching destroys rhinos’ social systems. B. Dehorning rhinos continuously reduces poaching. C. Rhino guardians take effective anti-poaching steps. D. Current rhino conservation efforts face severe challenges. 15. Which is a suitable title of the text? A. White Rhino Conservation: A Successful Story. B. White Rhino Populations: The Impact of Poaching. C. Legalizing Horn Trade: A Key to White Rhino Protection. D. Private Guardianship: A Must for White Rhinos’ Survival. 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。 Suppose you were promised $1,440 each day that comes to $525,600 a year. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Actually, we all do get 1,440 a day — but in minutes, not dollars. ____16____ It’s possible to get more money, but you can’t make more time. Many of the money management practices can also be applied to your “time currency.” But the question is, are you a good manager of your time? ____17____ Find out where your time is going now. ____18____Include your work, study, cooking and meals, cleaning and sleep, family time and mindless activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social media.

You can also set limits. Use kitchen timers, apps or other timing devices to stay focused and work more productively. ____19____ When you have missions (任务), instead of making three separate trips on three different days to buy groceries, office supplies or home store products, integrate them.

This event was her golden ticket to let peers and teachers witness how she perceived the world uniquely through vivid colors and delicate brushstrokes. For weeks, she’d buried herself in creating a painting themed on “Seasons of Hope”, pouring her soul into every detail, from the blooming spring flowers to the frost-kissed winter branches. The canvas (画布) felt like a piece of her. However, a heart-breaking accident ruined everything. One evening, reaching for white paint to add snow, her elbow knocked over a jar of deep blue. The color splashed across the canvas, ruining the careful transition from autumn to winter. With merely three days until the submission deadline, panic squeezed her chest. To make matters worse, the next day in a gym class she sprained her right wrist. Now, holding a brush sent sharp pain up her arm, and her hand trembled too much to make steady lines. She stared at the damaged painting and her useless hand, tears blurring her vision. Despair overwhelmed her, as if her artistic dream was slipping away. Lily’s best friend Tom sensed something was wrong. He had seen her excitement when talking about the art show, and now that spark was gone, replaced by a hollow, listless look. Determined to help, he racked his brain for ways to lift her spirits. Meanwhile, Mrs. Smith, the art teacher, had noticed, too. She’d seen Lily’s sketches for “Seasons of Hope” and admired their warmth; now, the girl’s slumped shoulders and avoided glances told a story of despair. She found herself wondering how to remind Lily that art, like life, often finds beauty in unexpected places. 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Tom showed up at Lily’s house with a box of craft supplies, a big idea forming in his mind. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Smith walked over after class, holding an old sketchbook (素描本). __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
