解析
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是《左传》的相关信息。
56题详解
考查冠词。句意:《左传》,一般翻译为Zuo Tradition,是一部中国古代的叙事史,被认为是对中国古代编年史——春秋时期(公元前770-476年)的评论。narrative (叙述) history是泛指,前面要加不定冠词,ancient是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
57题详解
考查名词的复数。句意:《左传》主要关注中国历史上的政治、社会和军事事件。event是可数名词,中国历史上不止一件事情,因此空格处用复数,故填events。
58题详解
考查名词。句意:它解释了它的历史背景,并包含了许多丰富而生动的春秋时期的历史和文化的描述。lively是形容词,修饰名词,describe的名词是description,意为“描述”,是不可数名词,故填description。
59题详解
考查介词。句意:《左传》包含的中国谚语和成语比其他任何经典著作都多,其简洁流畅的风格被认为是优雅文言文的典范。由空前的more可知,空格处用表示比较的介词than,故填than。
60题详解
考查定语从句。句意:几个世纪以来,它一直是中国人了解其古代历史的主要文本。空格处是“介词+which/whom”引导的定语从句,先行词text是物,因此空格处用which,故填which。
61题详解
考查物主代词。句意:几个世纪以来,它一直是中国人了解其古代历史的主要文本。根据语境可知,句子表示“几个世纪以来,它一直是中国人了解其古代历史的主要文本”,空格处意为“他们的”,用形容词性物主代词their修饰ancient history,故填their。
62题详解
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:虽然《左传》一直被认为是“伟大的历史叙事的杰作”,但其早期的文本历史在很大程度上是未知的,其作者也一直存在广泛的争议。《左传》一直被认为是“伟大的历史叙事的杰作”,由“for a long time”可知,时态是现在完成时,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,即have/has been done,主语Zuo zhuan是单数,因此空格处是has been regarded。故填has been regarded。
63题详解
考查形容词。句意:虽然《左传》一直被认为是“伟大的历史叙事的杰作”,但其早期的文本历史在很大程度上是未知的,其作者也一直存在广泛的争议。由“and its author has been widely debated”可知,句子表示“虽然《左传》一直被认为是“伟大的历史叙事的杰作”,但其早期的文本历史在很大程度上是未知的,其作者也一直存在广泛的争议”,空格处意为“未知的”,用形容词作表语,是unknown,故填unknown。
64题详解
考查副词。句意:传统上认为,《左传》标题中的“左”指的是公元前5世纪的一个名叫“左丘明”的人,他被认为是孔子的盲人学生,但几乎没有实际证据支持这一说法。空格处用副词traditionally修饰动词believed,traditionally意为“传统上”,故填traditionally。
65题详解
考查不定式。句意:传统上认为,《左传》标题中的“左”指的是公元前5世纪的一个名叫“左丘明”的人,他被认为是孔子的盲人学生,但几乎没有实际证据支持这一说法。sb. be thought to be是固定短语,意为“某人被认为是……”,因此空格处是to be。故填to be。
应用文范文:
Dear Mr. Smith,

读后续写范文
第一段
Mia spotted a cave half-hidden behind a cluster of ferns. “This way, Leo,” she said, guiding him carefully. Inside, the cave was dry and sheltered from the rain. Mia lit a small campfire with dry twigs she’d found, and Leo huddled close, warming his hands. “My dad taught me to start fires with sticks,” she explained, smiling. Leo nodded, still quiet but calmer. Mia gave him a chocolate bar from her pack, and he took small bites, his eyes gradually losing their fear. “The rain will stop soon,” she said, checking her watch. “Then we’ll find Jake.”
第二段
An hour later, the rain slowed, and Jake’s voice crackled over the radio. “Mia? You there? I found the campsite—Leo’s parents are here.” Mia’s heart lifted. “We’re in a cave east of the valley, with Leo. He’s hurt but okay.” “I’m on my way,” Jake replied. Ten minutes later, Jake appeared at the cave entrance, grinning. Leo jumped up, limping toward him. “Let’s get you home, kiddo,” Jake said, lifting Leo gently. As they walked back, the sun peeked through the clouds, painting the forest in golden light. Leo squeezed Mia’s hand. “Thank you,” he whispered. She smiled. “That’s what rangers do.”

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
Known for its rich cultural heritage, unique architecture and mouthwatering local snacks, Tianjin offers an experience unlike any other city in China.
Here are the top four things to do in Tianjin that will make your visit unforgettable.
1. Try a traditional Tianjin breakfast
A day in Tianjin wouldn't be complete without jianbing guozi. Start your morning with this delicious pancake wrapped around a Tianjin-style crispy fritter, known as guobi'er in the local dialect.
To make a jianbing, a paste of mixed grains is first spread on a hotplate to form a pancake, then topped with chopped green onions, pickles and the magic ingredient — Tianjin crisp fritter — before being wrapped up and cut in half. The outcome is the perfect texture – soft on the outside, crispy inside.
Aside from jianbing, Tianjin also offers other morning delicacies such as gabacai (savory crispy pancake soup) and laodoufu (tofu pudding).
2. Taste Tianjin's "signature snack trio" at Ancient Cultural Street
Besides jianbing, Tianjin is famous for three must-try local snacks: mahua (fried dough twists), goubuli steamed buns and erduoyan zhagao (fried rice cakes).
Mahua are twisted fried pastries made from flour with ingredients like walnuts, sesame and peanuts, available in sweet and savory flavors.
Goubuli buns got their name from a seller nicknamed "gouzi" (dog), who was too busy making buns to greet customers — hence "goubuli" (the dog doesn't care).
Zhagao got its name from a narrow alley — Erduoyan — where it was first sold. These rice cakes symbolize promotion and success, making them a festive favorite.
Head to Ancient Cultural Street, one of the city's best-known tourist attractions, and you can try them all in one place.
3. Create your own woodblock print in Yangliuqing
Yangliuqing woodblock printing dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and is recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. The colorful prints, often depicting folk tales or blessings for prosperity, are celebrated for both their vivid appearance and cultural depth.
As the cradle of Yangliuqing woodblock printing, the Yangliuqing Ancient Town in Tianjin offers opportunities for visitors to admire the artworks. You can even try making your own.

"These objects reflect people's pursuit of beauty. They have been treasured and passed down through the centuries because they are outstanding examples of artistic excellence," says Zhu Xiaoyun, curator and director of international relations at the museum.
She says the tour takes people through different exhibition halls, introducing artifacts that showcase a range of craftsmanship and art forms, helping them understand the evolution of Chinese cultural and aesthetic traditions.
Some of the objects, she says, appreciate the beauty of nature, and underline the "dao fa zi ran" principle in classic Chinese philosophy, that is, learning from nature and following its principles. Others celebrate the pinnacle of ancient craftsmanship, such as a seventh-century gold necklace inlaid with pearls and red and blue gemstones.
The necklace has a poignant backstory. In 608, 9-year-old Li Jingxun, a young aristocrat and granddaughter of Yang Lihua, a daughter of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty (581-618), was buried in an extraordinary ceremony. Archaeologists excavating her tomb more than 1,300 years later were astonished by the richness of the burial, which included the necklace now displayed in the exhibition Ancient China.
Other artifacts reflect the grandeur of social rituals, such as intricately patterned bronzes from the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century-11th century BC), used in major ceremonies.
Still others convey romance and freedom, such as a Tang Dynasty (618-907) mural of a woman in a flowing red dress performing the "scarf dance", in which the dancer wove long scarves through the air.
24. Why have the objects mentioned in the passage been treasured for centuries?
A. They are expensive and rare.
B. They represent excellent artistry.
C. They were owned by ancient emperors.
D. They tell stories of ordinary people.
25. What does the museum tour help people understand?
A. How to create ancient artifacts.
B. The history of the museum itself.
C. The development of Chinese cultural and aesthetic traditions.
D. The differences between Chinese and Western art forms.
26. What does the "dao fa zi ran" principle emphasize?
A. Controlling nature through technology.
B. Learning from nature and following its rules.
C. Using natural materials to make artifacts.
D. Decorating objects with natural patterns.
27. What do the Shang Dynasty bronzes reflect?
A. The beauty of nature.
B. The grandeur of social rituals.
C. Romance and freedom.
D. Daily life of ancient people.
C
Between 2019 and 2023, seven ticks not native to the United States entered Connecticut, according to a new study published in the journal iScience. They came from a variety of countries as far away as Germany, Guatemala, Tanzania, Brazil, Scotland, and Poland.
While the study didn’t find evidence of these invasive ticks bringing new diseases to the U.S., experts say they could one day soon. Meanwhile, the study does suggest they could drive a rise in tick-related diseases already seen in the U.S., as they found these ticks can carry pathogens similar to those carried by native ticks.
Two invasive tick species from Central America tested positive for a bacteria similar to Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a disease that can cause fever, vomiting, muscle pain, and even death if untreated.
It’s part of an alarming trend: cases of tick-borne disease in the U.S. jumped from about 23,000 in 2004 to around 71,000 cases in 2022.
“Prior to 2018, here in the northeastern U.S… we didn’t have cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But since 2018, we are seeing a number of up to ten cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in [Connecticut]. And we have had mortalities as a result,” says Yale University epidemiologist Goudarz Molaei, co-author of the new study.
Experts say identifying all the ways ticks can spread and carry diseases is critical to reducing the number of people who become seriously ill after being bitten. Their spread is a concern—during the last 50 years, over 140 non-native tick species have been brought into the U.S., hitching a ride on livestock, exotic pets, or people. At the same time, climate change has expanded the habitat ticks can live in.
If more invasive ticks establish U.S. populations, “it is just a matter of time that these invasive ticks will either pick up local pathogens or native pathogens that circulate in the U.S., or they start carrying the pathogens that they transmit in their native range,” says Molaei.
Ticks pick up diseases after biting animal hosts like deer. Then, these diseases can be transmitted to other organisms.
28. What can we learn about the seven non-native ticks in Connecticut?
A. They all came from European countries.
B. They have brought new diseases to the U.S.
C. They can carry pathogens similar to native ticks.
D. They were first found in the U.S. before 2019.
29. How did the number of tick-borne disease cases in the U.S. change from 2004 to 2022?
A. It decreased slightly.
B. It remained almost the same.
C. It increased significantly.
D. It first rose and then fell.
30. What is one of the reasons for the spread of non-native ticks in the U.S.?
A. The decrease in livestock.
B. The expansion of their habitat due to climate change.
C. The reduction in exotic pet trading.
D. The improvement of medical conditions.
31. What does Goudarz Molaei imply about invasive ticks?
A. They will not transmit diseases in the U.S.
B. They may pick up local pathogens over time.
C. They are less dangerous than native ticks.
D. They will disappear from the U.S. soon.

Dan Burton heard of pigs with electric blue meat in California years ago from an old-timer he used to hunt with, but he’d brushed it off as urban legend.
So when he cut open a dead wild pig in Monterey County, California, this past February, he was surprised to see blue fat— vivid, “7/11 slushie” blue—beneath the skin.
The color came from the blue dye of rodent poison, he correctly suspected, specifically from anticoagulant rodenticide bait containing the chemical diphacinone. He tipped off the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which confirmed the presence of diphacinone and sounded the alarm to local hunters.It wasn’t the first time.
Diphacinone is a restricted chemical in California, meant to be used only in specific circumstances for infestation control. The state tightly regulates anticoagulant rodenticides, but it doesn’t enforce a total ban. So it still shows up where it’s not supposed to be: in the bodies of many of California’s iconic animals, including condors, black bears, bobcats, and in the somewhat less beloved feral pigs.
(These widely used insecticides may be a threat to mammals, too)
Wild animals with bright blue flesh have turned out in California, indicating poisoning by a partially banned rodenticide.
Photograph By Dan Burton
Burton, who owns Urban Trapping Wildlife Control, was hired in late February to deal with wild pigs encroaching on an 800-acre ranch along the Salinas river. On multiple late-night stakeouts, he watched thick-furred pigs trot up from the banks of the Salinas to the ranch’s fence, snuffling for the ground squirrel bait stations affixed there—and the diphacinone-laced oats within.
The hard plastic bait containers were standard-issue and secure, but a California feral pig can weigh up to 200 pounds and makes “a worthy opponent,” said Burton. The pigs easily broke up the containers and scarfed up the blue pellets.
32. Why was Dan Burton surprised when he cut open a wild pig?
A. He found the pig was still alive.
B. The pig's fat was bright blue.
C. The pig's meat was electric blue.
D. The pig had a strange shape.
33. What caused the blue color in the wild pig's body?
A. A special chemical in its food.
B. The blue dye in rodent poison.
C. A natural pigment in wild pigs.
D. Pollution from the Salinas River.
34. What do we know about diphacinone in California?
A. It is completely banned in the state.
B. It can be used freely for pest control.
C. It is a restricted chemical with strict regulations.
D. It is only harmful to wild pigs.
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Dan Burton had seen blue-meat pigs before.
B. Wild pigs in California are not dangerous.
C. Rodenticides may affect many kinds of animals.
D. The blue color in pigs is a natural phenomenon.
