Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to. C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by. 7. What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从一名科学写作者转变为真正的观鸟爱好者的经历，强调了观鸟带来的乐趣、知识积累和对自然更深层次的连接，表达了作者对自然生活的热爱和对“真实现实”的追求。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“This was the first time I only watched birds.(这是我第一次只是单纯地观察鸟类)”以及第二段“I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird- watching marked my transformation into a birder.(我一直对鸟类很感兴趣，并且作为一名科学作家也写过相关文章，但当我下定决心专门投入时间和精力去观察鸟类的时候，这标志着我正式成为了鸟类爱好者)”可知，整段的重点在于作者成为一名观鸟者的时间和契机。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media plat forms and went out with experienced birders.(我并非从零开始。我的职业生涯一直致力于关于自然的报道工作，这让我对各种栖息地有了深入的了解；而新闻工作则让我能够迅速熟悉新的主题和新的人物。我通过社交媒体平台收集相关建议，并与有经验的观鸟者一同外出观察)”可知，这些已有的技能如何支持了他的观鸟活动。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.(我的思绪平静下来，只专注于当下)”可推知，作者在观鸟时完全沉浸在当下，不受天气、饥渴等影响，由此可判断“impervious to”意为“完全不受……影响的”。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as engagement with the true reality.(人们把观鸟称作是对现实世界的逃离。但我却不这么认为。在我看来，观鸟其实是一种与真实世界紧密相连的体验)”和最后一段“Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.(春天就要来了。新的鸟类很快就会涌入旧金山湾区。我迫不及待地想要见到它们了)”可知，作者认为观鸟不是逃避现实，而是一种接触真实生活的方式，同时也表达了对自然的热爱和期待。因此，文章的主旨是强调像观鸟这样简单的爱好可以丰富我们的生活。故选C。 C Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong. Do scientists really not know what’s good for us, or is the news report to blame for the confusion? Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. “What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University. One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. Instead, nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries, and then track the health of participants over a given period of time. In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet — with more fast food, for instance — might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways, such as smoking. Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart. Because of these difficulties, even today’s most recommended dietary advice lacks good quality evidence. This doesn’t mean we can eat as much cake as we like. But it does suggest that within limits of common sense, one way of eating is about as good as another. While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine. 8. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1? A. Scientists fail to figure out truth. B. News spreads confusion on purpose. C. Research on diet astonishes people. D. Media reports conflicting diet studies. 9. Which of the following news items suggests publication bias? A. Chocolate unexpectedly aids weight loss. B. Calorie restriction helps to slow aging. C. Effects of zero fat diet require further tests. D. Whole grain diet improves heart health. 10. What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly discuss? A. The reliability of self-reported diet data. B. How long-term diet tracking improves health. C. The main problems in studying dietary effects. D. How lifestyle factors affect diet research results. 11. What is the author’s suggestion for food choice? A. Avoid potentially unhealthy foods. B. Consume varieties of foods. C. Count on the latest dietary advice. D. Follow body signals sensibly. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了饮食研究因研究方法局限和发表偏倚（publication bias），而经常呈现矛盾结论，因此无需过度追求完美饮食。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong.(每年都有大量关于饮食的研究发表。其中最令人震惊的那些会被媒体报道。所有研究都声称基于最新研究，且每一项都声称证明上一项研究是错误的。)”可知，媒体频繁报道最新的饮食研究，而新的研究总是与过往的研究相矛盾，由此可知，第一段介绍了媒体报道相互冲突的饮食研究这一现象。故选D项。 9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. (误导性的媒体报道会产生影响，但发表偏倚是一个主要根源：那些得出惊人结果的研究更有可能得以发表。)”可知，媒体偏好报道带有新奇或反直觉结果的研究，结合下文的““What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University.(俄勒冈科技大学的维奈表示：‘你在晚间新闻中看到的那些内容，是整个体系运作的最终结果——在这个体系里，所有人都被鼓励得出积极的结果。’)”可知，每个人都希望得出一个积极的结果，由此可知，A项“巧克力出人意料地有助于减肥”属于惊人的意外结果，符合发表偏倚的特征。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. (解决这一问题的方法之一是开展大规模随机对照试验，这种试验会将参与者随机分配到不同组别以控制变量。但这类研究很难在食品领域实施，因为很少有人愿意冒险让饮食习惯受随机因素影响；而能长期坚持改变饮食习惯、直至从中获益的人就更少了。)”可知，第三段主要论述了为什么严谨的大型随机实验不能用于饮食研究中，研究者转而使用观察法，而第四段中的“In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference.(在这些“观察性”研究中，研究对象会在日常生活中记录自己的饮食情况。而研究对象在非用餐时间的行为差异，可能会对研究结果产生决定性影响。)”和“Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart.(因此，饮食的影响很难区分。)”可知，第四段则论述了观察法不能排除干扰因素，由此可知，第三、四段主要讨论了研究饮食影响时存在的主要问题。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine.(虽然这确实是简单的建议，但它消除了不断追求最新神奇饮食或害怕看似有害食物的压力。在合理范围内，相信自己的肠胃通常是没问题的。)”可知，作者对食物选择的建议是理性地遵循身体发出的信号。故选D项。 D The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below. The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand. As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better sitting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.” Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output. Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company. Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock- on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso. Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens. 12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics? A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work. C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene. 13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics? A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output. C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms. 14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5? A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics. C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds. 15. What are scientists focusing on? A. Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices. C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种将太阳能面板和水库结合的新兴技术——浮动光伏。但科学家也提醒应关注其对生态系统的潜在影响，以确保可再生能源的发展不会以破坏生物多样性为代价。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below.(当下最炙手可热的“明星夫妻档”并非生活在好莱坞。实际上，它们是太阳能电池板与水库的结合体：这种被称为“浮式光伏”的装置安装在简单的浮体上，既能发电又能为下方的水域遮阳)”可知，作者通过将浮式光伏系统与一对已婚夫妇的情况进行关联介绍浮式光伏系统。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better sitting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.””(随着浮式光伏系统的不断推广，预计从2025年到2030年，该市场的年增长率将达到23%。科学家们正在研究其对生态系统的潜在影响。加州大学戴维斯分校的研究员伊莉莎·斯蒂芬斯警告说：“我们不应以牺牲生物多样性为代价来扩大清洁能源的规模。”“这是一个绝佳的机会，让我们加大研究力度，开发智能设计和更合理的布局方式，以实现健康、多样化的生态系统与可再生能源扩张之间的和谐共生。”)”可知，生态平衡和生物多样性是主要关注点。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company.(尽管人工建造，但水库中仍生活着大量水生生物，而浮式光伏系统能够与这些生物产生互动。这会带来风险还是带来好处呢？“我们的客户曾看到迁徙的鸟类在浮体上觅食和休息，”一家知名浮式光伏公司的克里斯·巴赫曼说道)”可知，作者在第五段中引用克里斯·巴赫曼的话是为了展示浮式光伏技术的潜在优势。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso.(实验表明，遮阳板提供的遮荫能减缓鱼类所食用的藻类的生长速度，还能减少有害藻类的滋生，从而影响食物链。浮标可以保护鱼类免受捕食鸟类的攻击，但同时也可能成为这些鸟类的安全栖息地。淡水生态学家辛普森·卡多索表示：“我们需要进行长期监测，以了解整体情况。”)”以及最后一段“Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens.(科学家和相关企业正在探讨将太阳能板之间的间距加大，并避免在水鸟的敏感时期（如迁徙和筑巢期）进行施工。斯蒂芬斯表示：“肯定能够实现这种生态平衡。”)”可知，科学家们正在关注开发更智能的设计与方法。故选B。 第二节 七选五（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。 Take a Thought Walk Have you ever considered when you get your best ideas? Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head? ___16___ But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes. The best ideas can land when you least expect them — but there are things you can do to help them along, and that’s where walking comes in. Even a quick walk can reduce stress, clarify thinking or give your creativity a boost. Here’s why you should put your best foot forward. ___17___ Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.” The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental capacity. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside. ___18___ Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds. Walking and taking big breaths of fresh air are like gently letting the pressure out…” ___19___ It holds partial focus, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. Whether you’re revising for an exam, feeling stuck on a school project or working through a friendship problem, going for a walk could help. Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking. ___20___ This suggests that it increases what the experts call “divergent thinking” — the process where the mind generates a wide range of possible ideas or solutions to a problem. A. It helps clear your head for new thoughts. B. Many experts believe walking improves mental health. C. Some people find their best ideas come when relaxing quietly. D. Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all. E. Evidence for walking’s calming power comes from lived experience. F. It might be sitting at your desk in school or working at a computer. G. Participants in a study increased their brainstorming by 60% during/after walks. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要探讨散步如何激发创造性思维、缓解压力并提升问题解决能力，通过科学依据和真实案例说明步行对个人心智发展的积极影响。 【16题详解】 由上文“Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head?(那么，当你突然想到解决问题的办法时，你正在做些什么呢？)”和下文“But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes.(但它也可能在做其他的事情，比如洗澡或者洗碗)”可知，此处需要回答前面的问题并与后文对应，F选项“它可能就坐在你学校的课桌上，或者正坐在电脑前工作呢”在此处串联上下文，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.”(米歇尔，一位 21 岁的大学生，在青少年时期因经历了一段压力较大的时期而开始喜欢上散步。她回忆道：“我妈妈喜欢散步，所以是她最先建议我出去走走的。大约 10 分钟后，我感觉好多了。”)”可知，此处应是本段总起句，强调走路的缓解焦虑作用，E选项“步行具有镇静作用的证据来自于个人的亲身经历”起到了统领本段内容的作用，故选E。 【18题详解】 由上文“The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental capacity. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside.(步行带来的益处远不止能让人放松——它还能提升思维能力。拥有 20 年教学经验的高中教师吉莉安·米尔斯解释道：“当学生们感到压力过大而无法清晰思考时，我们通常会建议他们出去走走。”)”和下文气球比喻“Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds.(想象一下压力就像一个气球在不断膨胀。它不断充气，压力也随之增大)”可知，此处强调散步帮助释放压力，理清思路的作用，A选项“它有助于让你的头脑清醒，从而产生新的想法”符合语境，故选A。 19题详解】 由后文“It holds partial focus, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. Whether you’re revising for an exam, feeling stuck on a school project or working through a friendship problem, going for a walk could help.(它能让你部分集中注意力，使你能够留意周围环境，同时让思绪在新的方向上自由驰骋。无论是为考试复习、在学业上遇到瓶颈还是解决友谊问题，出去散步或许会有所帮助)”可知，此段突出的是散步分散部分注意力，有帮于产生新想法的作用，D选项“重要的是，步行所占用的注意力恰到好处，但又并非过多”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 由上文“Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking.(斯坦福大学证实了这一现象。他们发现步行与创造性思维之间存在着明确的关联)”和下文“This suggests that it increases what the experts call “divergent thinking” — the process where the mind generates a wide range of possible ideas or solutions to a problem.(这表明，它能够增强专家们所说的“发散性思维”——即大脑在处理问题时能够产生大量可能的想法或解决方案的过程)”可知，此处需具体说明散步对创造性思维的作用，选项G“在一项研究中，参与者在散步期间/之后的头脑风暴次数增加了60%”中的“brainstorming”与下文的“divergent thinking”(发散思维)同义，直接对应研究发现，故选G。 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。 Ellen felt as though she had something to prove at this high school reunion (聚会).

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 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。 Mia’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Mia’s heart sank. She stared at the broken shells on the floor, her breath caught in her throat. “You knew this was special” She picked up the pieces, her voice shaking. “Get out” Leo stepped back quickly. “I didn’t mean to…” he whispered, his voice shaking. “You never mean to” she screamed. Leo’s face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick up the pieces. Mia turned away, unable to speak. That night, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, remembering Grandma’s warm hands and gentle voice: “Patience” She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace. The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. On top was a note, written in shaky letters: “I’m sorry, Mia. I tried to fix it.” Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart. At the center was a new shell — small, but shining — clearly one Leo had found himself. Mia smiled through tears. It wasn’t perfect, but it was filled with love. She picked up the necklace and gently placed it around her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Leo.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米娅珍视奶奶留下的贝壳项链，项链承载着特殊意义。起初她难容忍弟弟利奥吵闹，奶奶说的“耐心”让米娅尽量耐心地对待利奥，因此两人的关系缓和。但暑假露营后的一天利奥不小心将项链摔碎。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅心沉了下去”可知，第一段可描写米娅十分生气，想起奶奶说的“耐心”。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，米娅惊讶地发现自己的桌子上有一个盒子”可知，第二段可描写次日利奥用胶水修补项链，还加入新贝壳，米娅感动，体会到弟弟的爱。 2.续写线索：米娅生气——利奥道歉——米娅想起奶奶说的“耐心”——利奥修补项链——米娅感动——米娅感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try to/attempt to ②不能：unable to/fail to 情绪类 ①爱：love/affection ②温柔的：gentle/mild 【点睛】[高分句型1] She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2026届广州市高三年级阶段训练 英语 满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项：1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、试室号、座位号填写在答题卡上。用2B铅笔将试卷类型（B）填涂在答题卡的相应位置上，并在答题卡相应位置上填涂考生号。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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 An eleven-night trip departing 30 May 2025 MAY 2025 Fri 30 Fly in Business Class from London to Dubrovnik, Croatia Upon arrival go to a 5☆hotel for your two-night stay Sat 31 Dubrovnik, Croatia Spend the day exploring at your leisure JUNE 2025 Sun 1 Dubrovnik, Croatia Go to the port and board the 6☆Ocean Encore for your seven-night voyage (航行) Mon 2-Sat 7 Kotor, Montenegro→Gallipoli, Italy→Sarandë, Albania→Zakinthos, Greece→Nafplion, Greece Relax at sea Sun 8-Mon 9 Athens (from Piraeus), Greece Leave and go to a 5☆hotel for your two-night stay Spend the day exploring at your leisure Tue 10 Athens, Greece Go to the airport for your Business Class flight to London WHAT’S included √FREE private UK driver service, up to 100 miles each way, for ALL bookings √FREE two-night 5☆hotel stay in Dubrovnik, Croatia including breakfast √SEVEN-NIGHT luxury voyage on board Ocean Encore -Spacious, all-suite (套房) accommodation with sweeping ocean views -Free fine wines, spirits, champagnes, beers and soft drinks throughout your voyage √FREE two-night 5☆hotel stay in Athens, Greece including breakfast √Return business class flights from London(regional flights may be available on request) SPECIAL OFFERS(per person) SUITE GRADE Full price(PP) Now price(PP) Veranda Suite(2 left) V1 £5,799 £4,799 Veranda Suite V4 £7,399 £6,399 Ocean welcomes you to this all-inclusive, luxury trip.

Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 6 What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to. C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by. 7. What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. C Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong. Do scientists really not know what’s good for us, or is the news report to blame for the confusion? Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. “What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University. One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. Instead, nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries, and then track the health of participants over a given period of time. In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet — with more fast food, for instance — might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways, such as smoking. Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart. Because of these difficulties, even today’s most recommended dietary advice lacks good quality evidence. This doesn’t mean we can eat as much cake as we like. But it does suggest that within limits of common sense, one way of eating is about as good as another. While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine. 8. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1? A Scientists fail to figure out truth. B. News spreads confusion on purpose. C. Research on diet astonishes people. D. Media reports conflicting diet studies. 9. Which of the following news items suggests publication bias? A. Chocolate unexpectedly aids weight loss. B. Calorie restriction helps to slow aging. C. Effects of zero fat diet require further tests. D. Whole grain diet improves heart health. 10. What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly discuss? A. The reliability of self-reported diet data. B. How long-term diet tracking improves health. C. The main problems in studying dietary effects. D. How lifestyle factors affect diet research results. 11. What is the author’s suggestion for food choice? A. Avoid potentially unhealthy foods. B. Consume varieties of foods. C. Count on the latest dietary advice. D. Follow body signals sensibly. D The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below. The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand. As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better sitting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.” Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output. Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company. Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock- on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso. Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens. 12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics? A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work. C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene. 13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics? A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output. C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms. 14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5? A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics. C To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds. 15. What are scientists focusing on? A Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices. C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats. 第二节 七选五（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。 Take a Thought Walk Have you ever considered when you get your best ideas? Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head? ___16___ But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes. The best ideas can land when you least expect them — but there are things you can do to help them along, and that’s where walking comes in. Even a quick walk can reduce stress, clarify thinking or give your creativity a boost. Here’s why you should put your best foot forward. ___17___ Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.” The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental capacity. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside. ___18___ Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up.

A. It helps clear your head for new thoughts. B. Many experts believe walking improves mental health. C. Some people find their best ideas come when relaxing quietly. D. Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all. E. Evidence for walking’s calming power comes from lived experience. F.

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 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。 Mia’s heart sank. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
