Most career organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow. In the process of securing a suitable career, recognizing abilities, matching these two available vacancies and presenting them well to employers, job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others. The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers. Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly when additional information is asked for. Job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth with examples. If possible. When graduates are asked to attend an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the employer. Interviewers should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they aren't sure about. This is much Better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer. There will be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination. The secret to securing a good job is to be one of those people. Now listen again, please.

Wider than Earth despite recent shrinkage, this high-pressure vortex (漩涡)spins counterclockwise with winds exceeding 267 mph at its edges. Its salmon-pink to red likely caused by sunlight breaking apart atmospheric chemicals like ammonium hydrosulfide (硫化氢铵) into dim red chemicals. Saturn’s Rings Saturn’s rings are a breathtaking crown, composed of billions of ice and rock particles — ranging from dust to mountain-sized rocks orbiting the planet. Spanning up to 280,000 km, these initial icy pieces reflect sunlight with ethereal glory of red light, creating a profound vision even through small telescopes. Its spinning crown is formed from cornets’ smash as they’re trapped within Saturn’s Roche limit (洛希极限), which is a key distance that determines how close a planet can approach a larger massive body before being torn apart by tidal forces (潮汐力). Supernova (超新星) A supernova marks the catastrophic death of a massive star, unleashing in seconds more energy than our Sun will release over its entire 10- billion-year lifespan. As the star’s core collapses or undergoes uncontrollable nuclear fusion, it will briefly shines every star in its host galaxy. Observable for weeks before fading, supernova turns into neutron stars (中子星) or black holes, while their shockwaves trigger star formation. 21. What can we know about the Jupiter’s Great Red Spot? A. The storm system appeared in 1831 initially. B. It is no longer larger than the earth after its shrinkage. C. It spins in a high speed with specific patterns. D. Physical changes lead to its color appearance. 22. What is the common part of Saturn’s Rings and Supernova? A. Colorful lights will be involved. B. Transforms occur in their forming process. C. Both can be seen with naked eyes. D. massive energy will be released. 23. What may the passage be? A. An astronomical novel. B. A digest on universal phenomenon. C. An abstract about the galaxy orbits. D. An essay about planets’ facts in the universe. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇关于应用文。主要介绍了宇宙中行星及天体现象的相关知识。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“this high-pressure vortex (漩涡) spins counterclockwise with winds exceeding 267 mph at its edges.(这个高压漩涡逆时针旋转，边缘风速超过每小时267英里)”可知，木星大红斑以高速按特定模式（逆时针）旋转，故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。对于土星环，根据原文第二段“Its spinning crown is formed from cornets’ smash as they’re trapped within Saturn’s Roche limit (洛希极限) (它旋转的光环是由彗星在土星洛希极限内破碎形成的)”可知，土星有形成过程中的变化；对于超新星，根据原文最后一段“As the star’s core collapse s or undergoes uncontrollable nuclear fusion, it will briefly shines every star in its host galaxy.(当恒星的核心发生坍缩或经历不可控的核聚变时，它会在短时间内比其所在星系中的每一颗恒星都要明亮)”可知，超新星有变化过程，所以二者在形成过程中都有转变，故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了木星的大红斑，这是一场在木星南半球持续至少193年的巨大风暴系统，虽近期缩小但仍比地球宽，其逆时针旋转且边缘风速超267英里每小时，颜色可能由大气化学物质变化导致；土星环由数十亿冰和岩石颗粒组成，跨度大，由彗星破碎形成；超新星则标志着大质量恒星的灾难性死亡，释放巨大能量，形成中子星或黑洞等，展现了宇宙中行星及天体现象的相关知识。所以短文可能是一篇关于宇宙中行星事实的文章。故选D。 B I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively. But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris. I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopelessness and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey. Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing. 24. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French? A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding. 25. Why does the author emphasize feelings? A. To highlight his struggles in learning French. B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth. C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts. D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation. 26. According to the author, what is the real challenge in learning a language? A. Mastering complicated grammar. B. Overcoming the fear of making mistakes. C. Finding enough time to study. D. Understanding native speakers. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The lows are always followed by highs. B. Feeling confident should be made a norm. C. Struggles are an essential part of learning. D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过介绍自己学法语的经历论述了学习过程中的挣扎、错误以及与成长的关系。这些经历对个人学习成长很关键。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. (在边境，我用法语进行了登记入住，吃午饭的时候也说了法语。但我表达起来并不流利，有时会听错单词，也不能很好地运用复杂的语法结构。不过我的话语内容清晰易懂，也能达到预期的效果。我感觉就像往常一样，自己仿佛置身于黑暗之中，但每走错一步，我的方向就会更加清晰起来)”可知，作者认为在法语上犯错能让自己更清楚前进方向，所以对犯错持积极态度。D项表示“值得的”，与推断相吻合。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey. (我之所以强调情感，是因为在学习过程中情感与任何现实因素一样重要。对犯错误的恐惧滋养了绝望，使学习者放弃。学习语言本身并不难。难的是你当下所处状态下的自我认知，以及那种对自身永远无法改变的悲观看法，这些造成了学习的困难。将挣扎转化为成长的过程，才是真正能让学习成为改变人生的旅程)”可知，作者强调情感是因为它很重要，将挣扎转化为成长，是正向积极的情感，促使学习变成改变人生的旅程。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. (学习语言本身并不难。难的是你当下所处状态下的自我认知，以及那种对自身永远无法改变的悲观看法，这些造成了学习的困难)”可知，作者认为真正的挑战不是语言本身，而是对犯错的恐惧和对自我能力的悲观信念。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据末段中的“The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often.

Instead, the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness. When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation. It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless.The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe. The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spaces, declaring, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.” The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose. 28. What does the author suggest about the“temptation” in paragraph 2? A. It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness. B. It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void. C. It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities. D. It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence. 29. Why does the author reject the temptation? A. He is a cosmologist who believes science. B. Earth remains the only known home for human experiences. C. Human experiences differ from those in voids. D. Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique. 30. What is the main purpose of paragraph 5? A. To explain why voids exist in universe and life. B. To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life. C. To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance. D. To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis B. Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe C. Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy D. The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨面对宇宙的虚无，人类应如何在其中寻找意义与价值。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. (当凝视宇宙的浩瀚虚无时，人们难免会被诱惑，以虚无主义的眼光看待我们这个渺小的世界。觉得我们的伟大成就微不足道，我们的历史未能留下任何印记，我们的关切与焦虑都毫无意义。)”可知，这种“诱惑”会导致人们低估地球的独特品质。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation.(我花费了多年时间去探究宇宙空洞所带给我们的启示。在研究的过程中，我逐渐学会了抵制这种诱惑。)”和第四段中的“Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art.(地球仍然是整个宇宙中已知的唯一有意识的生物抬起好奇的眼睛望向天空并感到好奇的地方。地球是已知的唯一人类可以生存的地方。它是已知的唯一有笑声、爱、愤怒和喜悦存在的地方。唯一已知的可以找到舞蹈、音乐和艺术的地方。)”可知，第四段中用排比句式强调地球是宇宙中已知的唯一存在“有意识的生物”、人类情感和艺术的地方，由此可知，地球是已知的人类唯一能有各种体验的地方，所以作者在研究过程中逐渐学会了抵制这种诱惑。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation.(虚空的存在保证了相反的情况；它们创造对比；它们充满潜力。我们从失去中感受到的痛苦是对深爱的生命礼物的最后提醒。演出前的沉默充满了强烈的期待。)”可推断，第五段的主要目的是分析生活中的空虚如何赋予意义。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose.(我们的工作是让宇宙充满意义和目的。)”可知，作者反对宇宙的虚无使人陷入无意义论，强调人类情感、艺术和存在的独特性，倡导在宏大宇宙中主动创造的意义，所以，“填补空虚：在浩瀚宇宙中寻找意义”最能概括全文，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Chinese scientists have made a significant breakthrough in producing hydrogen from water using light. They added scandium (钪) to titanium dioxide (二氧化钛, TiO₂) to create a new TiO₂ structure. This innovation increases hydrogen production efficiency 15 times under sunlight compared to previous TiO₂ materials. The new performance of photocatalys, which is a chemical reaction that is accelerated by the absorption of light by a catalyst (催化剂) is due to 5% scandium doping. This creates TiO₂ particles with two crystal facets (面): {101} and {110}. The {101} facet collects electrons, while the {110} facet receives holes. This arrangement produces a strong electric field within the TiO₂ particles, enhancing charge transport efficiency. As a result, the photoinduced (光诱导的) charge separation efficiency has improved over 200 times, and the quantum efficiency for ultraviolet light at 360 nm has exceeded 30%. Compared to traditional solar hydrogen production methods like photovoltaic-powered electrolysis, this new approach is simpler and more cost-effective. Traditional methods require complex and expensive equipment, while TiO₂-based photocatalysts offer a more straightforward alternative. However, TiO₂ has a problem: photoexcited electrons and holes reunite quickly, reducing efficiency. The scandium-doped TiO₂ solves this problem in two ways: 1. Eliminating Charge Traps: Sc³⁺ ions fit well into the TiO₂ structure without causing distortion. Their stable +3 charge neutralizes the imbalance caused by oxygen vacancies, reducing electron-hole recombination. 2. Reconstructing the Crystal Surface: Scandium atoms rearrange the crystal surface to form specific facets, giving electrons and holes more time and space to participate in reactions. If made into a 100 m² photocatalytic panel, this material could generate enough hydrogen in one day to power a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to travel about 68 kilometers. China has the world’s largest TiO₂ production capacity and significant scandium reserves, so this discovery could facilitate the large-scale industrial application of photocatalytic water splitting technology. It offers a promising way for more efficient and economical hydrogen production, which is crucial for transitioning to sustainable and carbon-neutral energy systems. This advancement highlights the potential of rare-earth elements in improving photocatalytic materials. As the world seeks ways to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, this scandium-doped TiO₂ photocatalyst provides hope. It could accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier and support the development of hydrogen-powered technologies across various industries. In summary, this new scandium-doped TiO₂ photocatalyst is a major step forward in renewable energy. Its impressive performance and potential for widespread application bring us closer to a future where clean, sustainable hydrogen energy is both abundant and economically feasible. This breakthrough is expected to inspire further research and innovation in the design of advanced photocatalytic materials, driving the world closer to a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future. 32. What fundamental innovation enables the dramatic improvement in hydrogen production efficiency? A. Substituting rare-earth elements for traditional catalysts. B. Optimizing catalyst structure through elemental integration. C. Developing ultra-thin semiconductor membrane layers. D. Implementing multi-stage photovoltaic conversion systems. 33. Which dual mechanism addresses the rapid recombination of electrons and holes? A. Neutralizing ionic imbalances and restructuring reactive pathways. B. Enhancing photon absorption and extending wavelength ranges. C. Introducing magnetic fields and cooling thermal byproducts. D. Isolating oxygen molecules and pressurizing reaction chambers. 34. Considering China’s industrial context, which factor would most critically determine the scalability of this technology? A. Global market demand for hydrogen vehicles. B. Availability of specialized manufacturing equipment. C. Domestic mineral resource distribution patterns. D. International carbon emission regulations. 35. A renewable energy startup plans to pilot this technology. Which implementation challenge aligns with the statement “photoexcited electrons and holes reunite quickly” (para. 3)? A.

As 59. is initiated 60. because##as## since## when## if 61. to ignore 62. desired 63. had gone 64. where 65. facilitating 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了环境线索对人们行为习惯的影响。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：在阿姆斯特丹附近的一个郊区，他们发现一些房主使用的能源比邻居少30%，尽管这些房屋大小相似，电价也相同。根据句子逻辑，“the homes being of similar size and getting electricity for the same price”表达一种让步的情况，despite为介词，意为“尽管”，用于引出与主句形成对比的情况，符合语境。故填despite。 【57题详解】 考查代词。句意：其他房屋的电表则在楼上的主走廊里。前文提到“Some had one in the basement.”，这里是在描述不同房屋电表位置的分布情况，Some...Others...为固定搭配，用来表示“一些……另一些……”，所以此处填Others，指代其他房屋。首字母大写。故填Others。 【58题详解】 考查定语从句引导词。句意：正如你可能猜到的，电表位于主走廊的家庭用电量较少。空处引导非限制性定语从句，且置于句首，其先行词是后面整个句子“the homes with the meters located in the main hallway used less electricity”，as在从句中作宾语，有“正如”的意思，引导的从句对主句起到说明、解释的作用。首字母大写。故填As。 【59题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：每个习惯都是由一个线索引发的。此句描述的是一般性的事实，应用一般现在时。同时，habit（习惯）和initiate（引发）之间是被动关系，即习惯是被线索引发的，所以要用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”。由于主语habit是单数，所以be动词用is，initiate的过去分词为initiated，故填is initiated。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：不幸的是，我们生活和工作的环境常常使我们很容易不做某些事情，因为/当/如果没有明显的线索来触发这种行为。从句子逻辑来看，“there is no obvious cue to trigger the behavior”既可以解释前面“我们很容易不做某些事情”的原因，此时可用because/as/since；也可以表示时间，即当没有明显线索时，就会出现这种情况，可用when；还能表示条件，即如果没有明显线索，就容易不做，可用if。故填because/as/since/when/if。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当引发习惯的线索很微妙或隐藏时，它们很容易被忽视。“be easy to do sth.”是一个常见的固定搭配，意为“做某事很容易”，在此结构中，动词不定式用主动形式表示被动含义，所以这里用to ignore，表示线索容易被忽视。故填to ignore。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：相比之下，创造明显的视觉线索可以将你的注意力吸引到期望的习惯上。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词habit，desired是desire的形容词形式，意为“期望的”，符合语境。故填desired。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：当我想起来的时候，苹果已经坏了。“苹果坏了”这个动作发生在“我想起来”这个过去的动作之前，这是典型的“过去的过去”，所以要用过去完成时，其结构为“had +过去分词”。go的过去分词是gone，所以应填had gone。故填had gone。 【64题详解】 考查表语从句引导词。句意：下次我买苹果的时候，它们就放在那里。“____9____ they went”在句中作was的表语，是一个表语从句。在这个从句中，go是不及物动词，从句缺少地点状语，所以要用where来引导，表示“去的地方”。故填where。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：几乎像魔法一样，我开始每天吃几个苹果，仅仅是因为它们很显眼，这有助于形成健康的饮食习惯，而不是把它们藏起来看不见。前面的“I began eating a few apples each day simply because they were obvious”是一个完整的句子，已有谓语动词began，所以此处要用非谓语动词。“I began eating a few apples each day”这件事与facilitate（促进、有助于）之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词facilitating作结果状语，表明自然而然产生的结果。故填facilitating。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 近期，你校英文报开展“鑫鑫杯”英语作文比赛，比赛主题为“我身边值得敬佩或敬爱的人”，请你结合比赛主题写一篇作文参加比赛。内容包括： 1. 人物个人经历； 2. 对他/她敬佩或敬爱的原因。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 文中不得出现真实学校、班级、姓名等个人信息。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The person I admire most is my neighbor, an elderly lady named Mrs. Wang.

We had been training for over a year, preparing for the physical and mental challenges of the climb. Our team, composed of experienced mountaineers and a few beginners like myself, had grown close during our training sessions. We relied on each other for support, encouragement, and motivation. If someone was struggling, the rest of us would step in to help, whether it was carrying extra sports equipment or offering words of encouragement. The first two days of the climb went smoothly. We made good progress, reaching Camp Muir at 10,000 feet without any major issues. The weather was perfect, and our spirits were high. On the third day, we began our push for the peak. The plan was to start early in the morning, around 2 a.m., to take advantage of the colder, firmer snow. We roped up and began the climb, each of us focused on the task at hand. As we approached Disappointment, Cleaver, a steep and dangerous section of the climb, the weather began to change. The wind picked up, and the temperature dropped significantly. We could barely see more than a few feet in front of us because of the dense fog, and the snow underfoot became unstable. Despite the challenging conditions, we carried on, determined to reach the peak. Then, disaster struck. One of our team members, Sarah, lost her footing and slipped. The force of her fall pulled the rest of us off balance, and we all fell, sliding down the slope (斜坡). I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I hit a rock, and I knew immediately that something was wrong. The rest of the team quickly regained their footing and managed to stop our slide, but I was unable to stand. 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 think my leg is broken,” I said painfully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team arrived finally. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I think my leg is broken,” I said painfully. The team members gathered around me, their faces filled with worry. Our team leader, Mark, quickly assessed the situation. He gently examined my leg, trying to determine the extent of the injury. Sarah, who felt guilty for causing the fall, was on the verge of tears. “I’m so sorry, this is all my fault,” she sobbed. Everyone comforted her, emphasizing that accidents happen. Mark radioed for help, but due to the poor weather conditions, the rescue team couldn’t reach us immediately. In the freezing cold, the team huddled around me, sharing their body heat to keep me warm. The rescue team arrived finally. They carefully strapped me onto a stretcher and carried me down the mountain. The rest of the team followed closely behind, relieved that I was in professional hands. Back at the base camp, I received medical treatment. Although my leg was broken, I was filled with gratitude for my teammates. They had not only supported me during the accident but also made the decision to stay with me instead of continuing their journey to the peak. The experience taught me the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了2019年夏，作者参与八人团队攀登华盛顿州雷尼尔山，团队训练超一年且成员彼此支持。前两日攀登顺利，第三天接近 “失望之角” 时天气恶化，队员莎拉滑倒致众人摔倒，作者腿部受伤无法站立。队友围拢，队长查伤情，莎拉自责，因天气差救援未及时到，众人保暖。最终救援队至，作者下山接受治疗。虽骨折，但作者感激队友支持及放弃登顶的陪伴，体会到团队合作与友谊的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想我的腿断了。我痛苦地说。”可知，第一段可描写队长马克检查了作者的伤情以及用无线电求救。 ②由第二段首句内容“救援队终于到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者接受了治疗以及对这次登山经历的感受。 2.续写线索：我想我的腿断了——队长马克检查了我的腿——用无线电求救——救援队终于到了——得到了治疗——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①评估：assessed / evaluated ②检查：examined /checked ③强调：emphasizing /stressing 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude / appreciation ②内疚的：guilty / compunctious 【点睛】[高分句型1]Sarah, who felt guilty for causing the fall, was on the verge of tears.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Although my leg was broken, I was filled with gratitude for my teammates.（运用了Although引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 辽宁省名校联盟2025年高三8月份联合考试 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What has recently caught the man’s interest?

Wider than Earth despite recent shrinkage, this high-pressure vortex (漩涡)spins counterclockwise with winds exceeding 267 mph at its edges. Its salmon-pink to red likely caused by sunlight breaking apart atmospheric chemicals like ammonium hydrosulfide (硫化氢铵) into dim red chemicals. Saturn’s Rings Saturn’s rings are a breathtaking crown, composed of billions of ice and rock particles — ranging from dust to mountain-sized rocks orbiting the planet. Spanning up to 280,000 km, these initial icy pieces reflect sunlight with ethereal glory of red light, creating a profound vision even through small telescopes. Its spinning crown is formed from cornets’ smash as they’re trapped within Saturn’s Roche limit (洛希极限), which is a key distance that determines how close a planet can approach a larger massive body before being torn apart by tidal forces (潮汐力). Supernova (超新星) A supernova marks the catastrophic death of a massive star, unleashing in seconds more energy than our Sun will release over its entire 10- billion-year lifespan. As the star’s core collapses or undergoes uncontrollable nuclear fusion, it will briefly shines every star in its host galaxy. Observable for weeks before fading, supernova turns into neutron stars (中子星) or black holes, while their shockwaves trigger star formation. 21. What can we know about the Jupiter’s Great Red Spot? A. The storm system appeared in 1831 initially. B. It is no longer larger than the earth after its shrinkage. C It spins in a high speed with specific patterns. D. Physical changes lead to its color appearance. 22. What is the common part of Saturn’s Rings and Supernova? A. Colorful lights will be involved. B. Transforms occur in their forming process. C. Both can be seen with naked eyes. D. massive energy will be released. 23. What may the passage be? A. An astronomical novel. B. A digest on universal phenomenon. C. An abstract about the galaxy orbits. D An essay about planets’ facts in the universe. B I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively. But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris. I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopelessness and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey. Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing. 24. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French? A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding. 25. Why does the author emphasize feelings? A. To highlight his struggles in learning French. B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth. C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts. D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation. 26. According to the author what is the real challenge in learning a language? A. Mastering complicated grammar. B. Overcoming the fear of making mistakes. C. Finding enough time to study. D. Understanding native speakers. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The lows are always followed by highs. B. Feeling confident should be made a norm. C. Struggles are an essential part of learning. D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs. C Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness. When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation. It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless.The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe. The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spaces, declaring, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.” The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose. 28. What does the author suggest about the“temptation” in paragraph 2? A. It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness. B. It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void. C. It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities. D. It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence. 29. Why does the author reject the temptation? A. He is a cosmologist who believes science. B. Earth remains the only known home for human experiences. C. Human experiences differ from those in voids. D Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique. 30. What is the main purpose of paragraph 5? A. To explain why voids exist in universe and life. B. To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life. C. To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance. D. To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis B. Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe C. Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy D. The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing D Chinese scientists have made a significant breakthrough in producing hydrogen from water using light. They added scandium (钪) to titanium dioxide (二氧化钛, TiO₂) to create a new TiO₂ structure. This innovation increases hydrogen production efficiency 15 times under sunlight compared to previous TiO₂ materials. The new performance of photocatalys, which is a chemical reaction that is accelerated by the absorption of light by a catalyst (催化剂) is due to 5% scandium doping. This creates TiO₂ particles with two crystal facets (面): {101} and {110}. The {101} facet collects electrons, while the {110} facet receives holes. This arrangement produces a strong electric field within the TiO₂ particles, enhancing charge transport efficiency. As a result, the photoinduced (光诱导的) charge separation efficiency has improved over 200 times, and the quantum efficiency for ultraviolet light at 360 nm has exceeded 30%. Compared to traditional solar hydrogen production methods like photovoltaic-powered electrolysis, this new approach is simpler and more cost-effective. Traditional methods require complex and expensive equipment, while TiO₂-based photocatalysts offer a more straightforward alternative. However, TiO₂ has a problem: photoexcited electrons and holes reunite quickly, reducing efficiency. The scandium-doped TiO₂ solves this problem in two ways: 1. Eliminating Charge Traps: Sc³⁺ ions fit well into the TiO₂ structure without causing distortion. Their stable +3 charge neutralizes the imbalance caused by oxygen vacancies, reducing electron-hole recombination. 2. Reconstructing the Crystal Surface: Scandium atoms rearrange the crystal surface to form specific facets, giving electrons and holes more time and space to participate in reactions. If made into a 100 m² photocatalytic panel, this material could generate enough hydrogen in one day to power a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to travel about 68 kilometers. China has the world’s largest TiO₂ production capacity and significant scandium reserves, so this discovery could facilitate the large-scale industrial application of photocatalytic water splitting technology. It offers a promising way for more efficient and economical hydrogen production, which is crucial for transitioning to sustainable and carbon-neutral energy systems. This advancement highlights the potential of rare-earth elements in improving photocatalytic materials. As the world seeks ways to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, this scandium-doped TiO₂ photocatalyst provides hope. It could accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier and support the development of hydrogen-powered technologies across various industries. In summary, this new scandium-doped TiO₂ photocatalyst is a major step forward in renewable energy. Its impressive performance and potential for widespread application bring us closer to a future where clean, sustainable hydrogen energy is both abundant and economically feasible. This breakthrough is expected to inspire further research and innovation in the design of advanced photocatalytic materials, driving the world closer to a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future. 32. What fundamental innovation enables the dramatic improvement in hydrogen production efficiency? A. Substituting rare-earth elements for traditional catalysts. B. Optimizing catalyst structure through elemental integration. C. Developing ultra-thin semiconductor membrane layers. D. Implementing multi-stage photovoltaic conversion systems. 33. Which dual mechanism addresses the rapid recombination of electrons and holes? A. Neutralizing ionic imbalances and restructuring reactive pathways. B. Enhancing photon absorption and extending wavelength ranges. C. Introducing magnetic fields and cooling thermal byproducts. D. Isolating oxygen molecules and pressurizing reaction chambers. 34. Considering China’s industrial context, which factor would most critically determine the scalability of this technology? A. Global market demand for hydrogen vehicles. B. Availability of specialized manufacturing equipment. C. Domestic mineral resource distribution patterns. D. International carbon emission regulations. 35. A renewable energy startup plans to pilot this technology. Which implementation challenge aligns with the statement “photoexcited electrons and holes reunite quickly” (para. 3)? A. Maintaining stable light intensity across large surface areas. B. Preventing premature energy loss during charge migration. C. Scaling up ultraviolet light filtration systems. D. Balancing production costs with catalyst durability. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning. ____36____ For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣). ____37____ The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. ____38____ Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls. Music improves the performance in study. ____39____ More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost. Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. ____40____ Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use. A. Music helps the old people feel much happier. B. Music even shows promise in preventing injury. C. Music provides emotional benefits in many ways. D. Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients. E. As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.” F. Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration. G. Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 “Honesty is the best policy” is a common saying, but in many situations, people do not want to hear the truth. Whether it’s a fact of life that they ___41___ were otherwise or a criticism of their behavior, everyone has truths that they want to ignore. These truths are called truth bombs, especially when they are told in a ___42___ way. This comparison shows that truth can cause damage if not handled well. Sometimes we drop truth bombs out of anger. We may ___43___ our words by saying that we need to express our emotions or to help the other person change their ways. But often we use the truth as a(n) ___44___ to make the other person feel bad and to repay them for what they did. Truth bombs rarely lead to productive discussion because they cause a ___45___ reaction. The receiver may ___46___ the criticism or counter it with a truth bomb of their own. Truth bombs also often fail to represent the whole truth. Anger can make it difficult to see the big picture, leading to an ___47___ misrepresentation of the truth. Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths. Pretending that problems do not ___48___ can weaken trust just as much as dropping truth bombs can. And failing to address problems in relationships can lead to hatred, which may ___49___ boil over into conflict. But it is possible to ____50____ truth without turning it into a bomb. Here are some ways to do that: ● Pay attention to timing. It is often helpful to give the person some advance ____51____ so they have time to mentally prepare. ● Ask questions. Don’t make ____52____ about people’ s motivation, but ask them the reasons for their actions. Also ask if there are problems that are ____53____ their mistakes that you could help with. These questions will help you grasp the situation more fully, and the recipient may accept the criticism more easily. ● Be as specific as possible about the problem.

We had been training for over a year, preparing for the physical and mental challenges of the climb. Our team, composed of experienced mountaineers and a few beginners like myself, had grown close during our training sessions. We relied on each other for support, encouragement, and motivation. If someone was struggling, the rest of us would step in to help, whether it was carrying extra sports equipment or offering words of encouragement. The first two days of the climb went smoothly. We made good progress, reaching Camp Muir at 10,000 feet without any major issues. The weather was perfect, and our spirits were high. On the third day, we began our push for the peak. The plan was to start early in the morning, around 2 a.m., to take advantage of the colder, firmer snow. We roped up and began the climb, each of us focused on the task at hand. As we approached Disappointment, Cleaver, a steep and dangerous section of the climb, the weather began to change. The wind picked up, and the temperature dropped significantly. We could barely see more than a few feet in front of us because of the dense fog, and the snow underfoot became unstable. Despite the challenging conditions, we carried on, determined to reach the peak. Then, disaster struck. One of our team members, Sarah, lost her footing and slipped. The force of her fall pulled the rest of us off balance, and we all fell, sliding down the slope (斜坡). I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I hit a rock, and I knew immediately that something was wrong. The rest of the team quickly regained their footing and managed to stop our slide, but I was unable to stand. 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 think my leg is broken,” I said painfully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team arrived finally. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
