As we approach August, I’d like to take a moment to talk about our upcoming holiday break. As you all know, the four-week holiday in August is a long-standing tradition here in Spain, so we will be observing it again this year. From August 1st, our shop will be closed, and all of you will have the opportunity to relax and recharge. I understand that this long break may cause financial concerns, so I want to assure you that you will still receive 75% of your regular pay during the holiday. Additionally, there will be a winter bonus later this year to help cover any extra expenses you might have during the holiday. We were supposed to open the door on September 1st, but I plan to postpone it by one day. Once we open, I hope each of you will focus on refreshing the shop’s design. The current design is holding us back. We must act quickly to stay competitive. And we’ll introduce a few new collections and work on increasing our visibility in the community to attract more customers. Thank you all for your hard work. Let’s come back ready to make September a great month! ◆observe【熟词生义】庆祝；庆贺；欢度 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Mystery, History & Majesty In Shanxi Province, a land rich in history and culture, lie many sites blending mystery, history, and majesty. Ancient grottoes, preserved cities, grand temples, and sacred mountains here stand as living testaments to China’s profound legacy, showcasing the evolution of art, religion, and architecture through stories of the past. Yungang Grottoes Vast, majestic, and around 1,500 years old, the Yungang Grottoes in Datong display Buddhist art and are a testament to East-West cultural exchanges in the 5th century. Carved into mountains and stretching about 1 km, they house over 59,000 Buddhist statues in 45 major caves and 209 connected caves, showcasing 5th-century East-West cultural exchanges. Compared to many other grotto temples in China, the Yungang Grottoes exhibit the most foreign influences. Pingyao Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple are key components of the Ancient City of Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shuanglin Temple was built in the 6th century, and the existing structures were rebuilt during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It’s known for housing more than 2,000 painted sculptures, which vividly depict the fusion of Buddhist anecdotes, a foreign cultural element, with ancient local productions and lifestyles. Huayan Temple Huayan Temple in Datong is one of the largest and best-preserved temple complexes from the Liao and Jin dynasties. The complex features characteristics of the Khitan (契丹人) people and bears witness to the integration of the nomadic and Han cultures. Huayan Temple, with its architecture, sculptures and murals, exemplifies the extensive interactions among ancient ethnic groups and reflects the profoundness and inclusiveness of Chinese culture. Mount Wutai Mount Wutai, located in Wutai County, is one of China’s four sacred Buddhist mountains. Since the 1st century, many monasteries have been built against the setting of the grand natural landscape, making it one of the largest ancient Buddhist architectural complexes in the world. The architecture, along with its sculptures, stone carvings, murals and calligraphy works, bears witness to the local adaptation of Buddhism and its spread throughout East Asia over the past 2,000 years. 21. What makes the Yungang Grottoes unique in China? A. It boasts a long history of more than 1,500 years. B. It stretches about 1 kilometer from east to west. C.

They all house more than 2,000 painted sculptures. B. They are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. C. They all witness cultural exchanges or integration. D. They were all rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty. 23. This text is most probably taken from ______. A. a travel guide B. a science report C. a history textbook D. a research paper 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了山西省四个融合了神秘、历史和威严的景点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yungang Grottoes部分中“Compared to many other grotto temples in China, the Yungang Grottoes exhibit the most foreign influences.(与中国其他许多石窟寺庙相比，云冈石窟展现出的外来影响最大)”可知，云冈石窟的独特之处在于它展现出的外来影响最大。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yungang Grottoes部分中“Vast, majestic, and around 1,500 years old, the Yungang Grottoes in Datong display Buddhist art and are a testament to East-West cultural exchanges in the 5th century.(大同云冈石窟规模宏大、气势恢宏，距今已有1500多年的历史，它展示了佛教艺术，是5世纪东西方文化交流的见证)”、Pingyao部分中“It’s known for housing more than 2,000 painted sculptures, which vividly depict the fusion of Buddhist anecdotes, a foreign cultural element, with ancient local productions and lifestyles.(它以收藏2000多幅彩绘雕塑而闻名，这些雕塑生动地描绘了佛教轶事这一外来文化元素与古代当地生产和生活方式的融合)”、Huayan Temple部分中“Huayan Temple, with its architecture, sculptures and murals, exemplifies the extensive interactions among ancient ethnic groups and reflects the profoundness and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.(华严寺的建筑、雕塑和壁画，体现了古代各民族之间的广泛交流，反映了中国文化的博大精深和包容性)”以及Mount Wutai部分中“The architecture, along with its sculptures, stone carvings, murals and calligraphy works, bears witness to the local adaptation of Buddhism and its spread throughout East Asia over the past 2,000 years.(其建筑以及雕塑、石雕、壁画和书法作品，见证了佛教在当地的适应性以及过去2000年在东亚的传播)”可知，这四个景点的共同之处在于它们都见证了文化的交流或融合。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In Shanxi Province, a land rich in history and culture, lie many sites blending mystery, history, and majesty. Ancient grottoes, preserved cities, grand temples, and sacred mountains here stand as living testaments to China’s profound legacy, showcasing the evolution of art, religion, and architecture through stories of the past.(山西省是一片历史悠久、文化丰富的土地，这里有许多融合了神秘、历史和威严的景点。古老的石窟、保存完好的城市、宏伟的寺庙和神圣的山脉，都是中国深厚历史遗产的鲜活见证，通过过去的故事展示了艺术、宗教和建筑的演变)”和后文介绍了山西省四个融合了神秘、历史和威严的景点可推知，文章可能出自一本旅游指南。故选A项。 B For Cai Guoqiang, every time feels like the first time. His nerves still hurt, his mind still races before he lights the fuse (引线) and the gunpowder explodes. It’s an intensity that hasn’t lessened even after 40 years. That’s how long Cai’s been making art through the use of explosives. “The anxiety is part of my motivation to create artwork,” Cai says. And there’s high demand for Cai’s art, famous worldwide. In China, he led visual and special effects for the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Olympics’ ceremonies. He spent eight years in Japan as a young artist and now lives in New York. Each time he lights a match, he briefly returns to his childhood — when he first played with firecrackers innocently. It helped that his hometown, Quanzhou City, was one that was known for its collection of fireworks sellers. But that didn’t mean he immediately grasped their artistic potential. First, he tried firing them headlong into blank canvases, which “wasn’t very successful because the whole canvas would burn completely through,” says Cai. But art was in his DNA. His father was a small-time poet and brush-and-ink calligrapher; and his mother, though not an artist herself, was a temple-going and incense-burning woman whose spiritual beliefs influenced her son. In his youth, Cai says, he was “unconsciously exposed to the ties between fireworks and the fates of humans, from the Chinese practice of setting off firecrackers at a birth, a death and during a wedding.” He felt something in the mix of matter and energy — maybe a comparison between mind and matter, humans and the universe — in the hot center of an explosion. Soon, he found he could take gunpowder out of firecrackers and light it directly on canvas, making mysterious, messy black-and-brown pictures of space, nature and time. The explosive aspect of the gunpowder took on a symbolic meaning for Cai. “As a person, it’s fine to be careful and cautious, but as an artist, you may need to break free and let yourself go a little,” says the artist. 24. What’s Cai’s feeling after having worked as an explosives artist for decades? A. Proud and satisfied. B. Fresh and motivated. C. Anxious and insecure. D. Exhausted and indifferent. 25. What does the underlined word “headlong” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Delicately. B. Slowly. C. Carelessly. D. Skilfully. 26. Which of the following factors hasn’t contributed to Cai’s artistic creations? A. The upbringing of his father, who was also an artist. B. The high demand for innovative artists around the world. C. The influence of his temple-going and incense-burning mother. D. The fact that he grew up in a place famous for firecrackers. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. People should take their careers seriously. B. There are lots of things worth celebrating in one’s life. C. Our time on earth is limited and we should treasure it. D. Artists should free their mind to have innovation. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍艺术家蔡国强以火药为创作媒介的艺术生涯，包括其创作感受、成长背景对艺术的影响及创作理念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For Cai Guoqiang, every time feels like the first time. His nerves still hurt, his mind still races before he lights the fuse (引线) and the gunpowder explodes. It’s an intensity that hasn’t lessened even after 40 years... “The anxiety is part of my motivation to create artwork,” Cai says.(对蔡国强来说，每一次都像第一次。在点燃引线、火药爆炸之前，他依然会紧张不安，思绪依然会飞速运转。即便过了40年，这种强烈的感受也丝毫没有减弱……“这种焦虑是我创作艺术品的动力之一，”蔡国强说。)”可知，即便从事火药艺术数十年，蔡国强每次创作仍有“如第一次般”的新鲜感受，且焦虑感成为创作动力，整体状态是新鲜且有动力的。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“First, he tried firing them headlong into blank canvases, which “wasn’t very successful because the whole canvas would burn completely through,” says Cai.(起初，他尝试将火药headlong射向空白画布，蔡国强说：“这并不成功，因为整个画布会被完全烧穿。”)”可知，“headlong”的射击方式导致画布被烧穿，说明这种方式缺乏细致考虑、较为鲁莽。结合选项，“Carelessly(粗心地、鲁莽地)”最符合语境。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It helped that his hometown, Quanzhou City, was one that was known for its collection of fireworks sellers.(他的家乡泉州以聚集了众多烟花商贩而闻名，这对他有所帮助)”（对应D项）、第四段中的“His father was a small-time poet and brush-and-ink calligrapher; and his mother, though not an artist herself, was a temple-going and incense-burning woman whose spiritual beliefs influenced her son.(他的父亲是一位籍籍无名的诗人和水墨书法家；他的母亲虽然不是艺术家，却常去寺庙烧香，其精神信仰对儿子产生了影响)”（对应A、C项）可知，A、C、D三项均是促成蔡国强艺术创作的因素；而B项“全球对创新艺术家的高需求”在文中未提及，文中仅提到“对蔡国强艺术的高需求”，并非“对创新艺术家的普遍需求”，且这是其艺术成功后的结果，而非促成创作的因素。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The explosive aspect of the gunpowder took on a symbolic meaning for Cai. “As a person, it’s fine to be careful and cautious, but as an artist, you may need to break free and let yourself go a little,” says the artist.(火药的爆炸特性对蔡国强具有象征意义。“作为普通人，谨慎小心是好的，但作为艺术家，你可能需要挣脱束缚，稍微放纵一下自己，”这位艺术家说)”可知，蔡国强以火药“爆炸”的特性比喻艺术创作需打破束缚。由此推知，艺术家应解放思想以实现创新。故选D项。 C Tipping has long been a widely accepted social norm in North America. But now more and more people are feeling tip fatigue from being “forced” to tip more frequently. Some consumers are posting on social media complaining about tip requests at restaurants. Others say they’re tired of being asked to leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee. What’s next, they wonder — are we going to be tipping our doctors and dentists, too? As more businesses start to include digital forms of payment, customers are automatically being asked to leave a tip — many times as high as 30% — at places they normally wouldn’t. And some say it has become more frustrating as the price of items has skyrocketed due to inflation (通货膨胀). The digital requests can produce social pressure and are more difficult to avoid. In the past, shoppers could easily ignore tip jars if they didn’t have any spare change. Nowadays, your generosity — or lack of it — can be laid bare for anyone close enough to glance at the screen — including the workers themselves. Tipping was born in the Middle Ages in Europe, a custom where servants would receive an extra tip from their masters for excellent performance. Tips were left in European pubs to ensure quick and good service. Wealthy Americans discovered the tradition for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s and they brought it back to the states as a way to feel noble. Traditionally, consumers have taken pride in being good tippers at places like restaurants, which typically pay their workers lower than the minimum wage. But many consumers are now feeling annoyed by automatic tip requests at coffee shops and other counter service eateries where tipping has not typically been expected. The pandemic has also sped up the trend towards more tipping. Michael Lynn, a consumer behavior professor, said consumers were more generous with tips during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were showing support for workers who held jobs that put them more at risk of catching the virus. Tips at full-service restaurants grew by 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, while tips at quick or counter service restaurants went up 16.7% compared to the same time period in 2021, according to data. This data shows that this same period has been experiencing continuous growth since 2019. 28. Which of the following is a reason why many consumers are feeling tip fatigue? A. Consumers often have to pay tips for some simple services. B. The inflation could provide people with more chances to tip. C. Consumers are worried they have to tip doctors in the future. D. The digital forms of payment allow customers to tip freely. 29. The digital forms of payment have ______. A. made tipping less than a choice B. decreased the frequency of tipping C. reduced social pressure related to tipping D. removed the need for tipping altogether 30. Why did wealthy Americans adopt the tipping tradition from Europe? A. To reward excellent performance by people. B. To ensure quick and good service in pubs. C. To support workers during financial crises. D. To showcase that they are people of high social rank. 31. The last two paragraphs mainly talk about ______. A. the history and origins of tipping in Europe and America B. the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic on tipping trends C. variation in tipping habits in different types of restaurants D. social pressure and frustration caused by digital tipping 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了欧美的小费日益增高，人们对此表现出小费厌倦的现象。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Others say they’re tired of being asked to leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee.(其他人说，他们厌倦了被要求为一杯简单的咖啡付小费)”可知，一些简单的服务都需要付小费，这让消费者感到疲劳。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The digital requests can produce social pressure and are more difficult to avoid. In the past, shoppers could easily ignore tip jars if they didn’t have any spare change. Nowadays, your generosity — or lack of it — can be laid bare for anyone close enough to glance at the screen — including the workers themselves.(电子小费会产生社会压力，更难避免。过去，如果购物者没有多余的零钱，他们很容易忽略小费罐。如今，你的慷慨——或缺乏慷慨——可以暴露给任何靠近屏幕的人，包括工人自己)”可知，数字支付方式使小费不再是一种选择。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Wealthy Americans discovered the tradition for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s and they brought it back to the states as a way to feel noble.(19世纪50年代和60年代，美国的富人（群体）发现了这一传统，并将其带回美国，以此作为一种感觉高尚的方式)”可知，美国人从欧洲带来了小费的习俗，是为了体现他们也是高贵的上层人士，故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中“The pandemic has also sped up the trend towards more tipping.(疫情也加速了更多小费的趋势)”和最后一段中“This data shows that this same period has been experiencing continuous growth since 2019.(这一数据显示，自2019年以来，这一时期一直在持续增长)”可知，最后两段主要讲的是关于新冠疫情对小费的影响。故选B。 D In the presence of chubby (胖嘟嘟) babies, furry puppies or other adorable little things, it isn’t uncommon to be driven by a desire to squeeze, pinch (捏) or even bite them. While you may have the desire to do one or more of these things, you certainly don’t wish to hurt these cute creatures. But why do some of us react in this strange way? Scientists have revealed what happens in the brain to fuel this response, which they refer to as “cute aggression.” The researchers gathered together 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 and fitted them with electrode caps (电极头罩) to measure their brain activity. The participants were asked to look at 32 photographs that were divided into four separate blocks: one consisted of images of adult animals (which the study’s authors classified as “less cute”), one of baby animals (classified as “cuter”), and two of human babies. The first block of human baby images had been altered to enhance those features we humans typically perceive as being cuter while the other was altered to reduce cuteness. After they had viewed the images, the participants were asked to fill out questionnaires that measured their responses to the photos. Images of baby animals got the strongest response. According to the study’s authors, the participants expressed more significant feelings of cute aggression — such as feelings of overwhelmingness, care-taking desires, and so forth — toward the baby animals than to the adult animals. They didn’t observe the same distinction between participants’ reactions to cuter and less-cute images of babies. Researchers said that this may be because both sets of babies were “objectively pretty cute.” By using the electrode caps, researchers were also able to gain insight into the neural (神经的) activity of participants who experienced cute aggression. This response was associated with greater activity, not only in the brain’s emotional systems, but also in its reward systems. The latter regulate motivation, pleasure and feelings of “wanting”. Scientists suspect that cute aggression is the brain’s way of coping with the overwhelming response that occurs when these two powerful brain systems start to work together. In other words, the brain tosses in a dash of aggression to temper the attack of these positive feelings. 32. Which of the following statements best describes the participants’ reactions to the images? A. They showed similar responses towards images of cute animals and babies. B. They expressed the most significant reactions towards images of baby animals. C. They exhibited stronger emotions towards images of cuter babies compared to less cute ones. D. They displayed the same reactions to the images of baby animals and adult animals. 33. What happened when participants experienced cute aggression? A. There was stronger activity only in the brain’s reward systems. B. There was larger activity only in the brain’s emotional systems. C. There was no significant neural activity related to cute aggression. D. There was greater activity in the brain’s emotional and reward systems. 34. What is cute aggression according to the passage? A. A sign of mental health issues causing aggression. B. A result of negative feelings towards cute creatures. C. A form of control over things perceived as less powerful. D. A way for the brain to handle overwhelming positive feelings. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To investigate why people are driven to destroy cute things. B. To explore the standards people use to determine what is cute. C. To introduce what happens in the brain to cause cute aggression. D. To examine people’s emotional responses to seeing something cute. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“可爱侵犯”现象，通过实验观察参与者对可爱事物的反应，发现其与大脑情绪和奖励系统相关，是大脑应对强烈积极情绪的方式。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Images of baby animals got the strongest response. According to the study’s authors, the participants expressed more significant feelings of cute aggression — such as feelings of overwhelmingness, care-taking desires, and so forth — toward the baby animals than to the adult animals. They didn’t observe the same distinction between participants’ reactions to cuter and less-cute images of babies. Researchers said that this may be because both sets of babies were “objectively pretty cute.(动物幼崽的图片反应最强烈。根据该研究的作者的说法，参与者对动物幼崽的可爱攻击感比成年动物更明显，比如压倒性的感觉、照顾欲望等等。他们没有观察到参与者对更可爱和不那么可爱的婴儿图像的反应有同样的区别。研究人员表示，这可能是因为这两组婴儿“客观上都很可爱”)”可知，参与者对动物幼崽图片的反应最强烈。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This response was associated with greater activity, not only in the brain’s emotional systems, but also in its reward systems. The latter regulate motivation, pleasure and feelings of “wanting”.(这种反应不仅与大脑情绪系统的更强活动有关，还与大脑奖励系统的更强活动有关。后者调节动机、愉悦感和“渴望”感)”可知，当参与者产生“可爱侵犯”时，大脑的情绪系统和奖励系统都会有更强的活动。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Scientists suspect that cute aggression is the brain’s way of coping with the overwhelming response that occurs when these two powerful brain systems start to work together. In other words, the brain tosses in a dash of aggression to temper the attack of these positive feelings.(科学家怀疑，“可爱侵犯”是大脑应对这两个强大大脑系统开始协同工作时产生的强烈反应的一种方式。换句话说，大脑会加入一点攻击性，来缓和这些积极情绪的冲击)”可知，“可爱侵犯”是大脑处理强烈积极情绪的一种方式。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，第一段提出“为什么人们看到可爱事物会有捏、咬等冲动（即‘可爱攻击性’）”的问题，随后通过实验介绍参与者的反应、产生该反应时的大脑神经活动，最后解释“可爱侵犯”的本质——大脑处理强烈积极情绪的方式。由此推知，文章的主要目的是介绍大脑中引发“可爱侵犯”的机制。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Tell If Your Phone Is Tapped Have you ever worried that someone might be listening to your phone calls or monitoring your phone activity? If so, you’re not alone. With the development of technology, phone tapping is no longer just a movie plot. ____36____. Here’s how to tell if your phone is tapped and what to do about it. How to Know If Your Phone Is Tapped If you suspect your phone is being monitored, there are several signs to watch out for. Let’s start by learning how to recognize the warning signs of a tapped phone. First, your mobile data usage might rise unexpectedly. Tapping software often sends recordings and logs to the person spying on you, which uses up a lot of data. ____37____. Second, you might start seeing an unusual number of pop-ups and ads, even when you’re not browsing the web. ____38____. So don’t ignore them if they appear suddenly. Third, check your phone for apps you don’t remember installing. Many tracking apps use innocent-sounding names to avoid being noticed. What to Do If Your Phone Is Tapped If you notice any of the above signs, don’t panic. ____39____. One effective step is to reset your phone to its factory settings. This will remove most spyware installed by hackers or stalkers. Another important move is to contact the police. If you have clear evidence of tapping, the police can use special equipment to check your phone. ____40____. They can also guide you on further actions to protect your privacy. A. It’s important to check your data usage regularly B. Pop-ups and ads are the most common sign of a tapped phone C. All unusual phone activity must be caused by tapping software D. Knowing how to spot the signs and take action can protect your privacy E. Furthermore, they’ll need solid evidence to take your concerns seriously F These ads are more than just annoying — they might be a sign of trouble G. Now that you know how to spot a tapped phone, let’s look at what you can do next 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. F 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕“如何判断手机是否被监听”展开，先介绍了手机被监听的几类典型迹象，再给出针对性解决方案，旨在帮助读者识别手机监听风险并保护个人隐私。 【36题详解】 上文“With the development of technology, phone tapping is no longer just a movie plot. (随着科技发展，手机监听不再只是电影情节)”点明手机监听已成为现实风险；结合下文“Here’s how to tell if your phone is tapped and what to do about it.（以下是如何判断手机是否被监听以及该怎么做)”聚焦具体应对方法。选项D“Knowing how to spot the signs and take action can protect your privacy. (知道如何识别迹象并采取行动能保护你的隐私) ”既承接了前文监听风险存在的背景，又为后文介绍判断方法与应对措施作了铺垫，起到承上启下的过渡作用，符合语境。故选D。 【37题详解】 上文“First, your mobile data usage might rise unexpectedly. Tapping software often sends recordings and logs to the person spying on you, which uses up a lot of data.(手机数据用量可能意外增加，因为监听软件会发送录音和日志，消耗大量数据)”重点强调数据用量异常这一监听迹象。选项A“It’s important to check your data usage regularly (定期检查数据用量很重要)”是对前文数据用量异常的自然延伸——既然数据异常是风险信号，那么定期检查就是识别该信号的必要动作，逻辑连贯且贴合识别迹象的主题。故选A。 【38题详解】 上文“you might start seeing an unusual number of pop-ups and ads, even when you’re not browsing the web. (即使未浏览网页，也可能出现异常多的弹窗和广告)”指出异常广告，下文So don’t ignore them if they appear suddenly.(若突然出现，不要忽视)”强调不要忽视。选项F“These ads are more than just annoying — they might be a sign of trouble (这些广告不只是烦人——它们可能是麻烦的迹象)”恰好解释了“为何不能忽视”：通过否定“广告只是烦人”的浅层认知，点明其“可能是监听风险的信号”，为下文的“不要忽视”提供了合理依据，衔接紧密。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“If you notice any of the above signs, don’t panic. (若注意到上述迹象，不要恐慌)”告诉读者们出现该现象时候不要恐慌，下文随即转入具体解决方案“One effective step is to reset your phone to its factory settings.(将手机恢复出厂设置)”。选项G“Now that you know how to spot a tapped phone, let’s look at what you can do next. (既然你知道如何识别被监听的手机，我们来看看接下来能做什么)”精准完成了“从‘识别迹象’到‘采取措施’的过渡”，前文聚焦“如何判断”，后文聚焦“如何解决”，该选项通过“now that”引导的逻辑，自然将话题转向下一步行动。故选G。 【40题详解】 上文提到“If you have clear evidence of tapping, the police can use special equipment to check your phone. (若有明确监听证据，警方可用特殊设备检查手机)”，下文则补充“They can also guide you on further actions to protect your privacy.(警方也能指导进一步保护隐私的行动)”，可知此处强调联系警方。选项E“Furthermore, they’ll need solid evidence to take your concerns seriously(此外，他们需要确凿证据才能认真对待你的担忧)”既呼应了上文“clear evidence(明确证据)的表述，又通过“furthermore”表递进，补充了警方处理此事的前提(需要证据)，同时“they”与下文“they can also...”的“they”（均指代警方）形成人称呼应，逻辑严谨。故选E。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I first became interested in the Rubik’s Cube (魔方) when I was 13 because I wanted to use it in my magic trick routine.

He looked lost and possibly homeless, or maybe even drunk because he was unsteady on his feet. I asked if I could help him. Trying to hand some old papers in my direction, he asked if I could make him a copy of his military paperwork. I took the papers very carefully from him so as not to tear them anymore than they already were. As I made the copies he told me that he was a soldier and had been half blinded in a war. I was shocked, but took a deep breath and simply replied, “Thank you for your service.” He told me how he hated going out in public because he knew people thought he must be a homeless or drunk man. I felt terrible because I had indeed thought the very same thing. The veteran went on to say that he was college educated and had many hopes and dreams in the past. Then I noticed he was holding a small brown paper bag. The bag was wrinkled and dirty so I offered him a plastic bag for his paperwork. He thanked me and then asked me to hold out my hand. As I held my hand open, he carefully opened up his bag as if it contained some rare treasure and then he placed two items in my palm. My jaw dropped and my eyes filled with tears. This wonderful man had just placed his military medals into my hand. I thanked him again for his service and for blessing me with the opportunity to hold history in the palm of my hand. He gathered his items and carefully placed them back in his bag and started to walk away. I saw him take a few dollars and some change from his pocket. He turned back and asked if there was a grocer nearby so he could get some food. He explained he was diabetic (糖尿病患者) and he was getting shaky because his blood sugar was getting low. Being diabetic myself I couldn’t let him leave alone. 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。 Approaching the veteran, I suggested walking him to the store. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alongside the food, I purchased a gift card for him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 Approaching to the veteran, I suggested walking him to the store. He looked at me, surprised, but with a grateful smile, he accepted my offer. As we walked, he shared stories from his college days, his voice filled with a longing for what could have been. He spoke of his dream of becoming a history professor, now seemingly impossible. I listened intently, realizing the weight of his unspoken sacrifices and the invisible wounds he carried. His words painted a vivid picture of a life interrupted, a future altered by the harsh realities of war. Alongside the food, I purchased a gift card for him. As I handed it to him, a look of surprise washed over his face. “This is too much,” he protested, but I insisted, explaining that it was a small token of my appreciation for his service and sacrifice. Overwhelmed with emotion, he grasped my hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered, his voice thick with gratitude. Leaving the store, I felt a profound sense of fulfillment, knowing that I had made a difference in the life of a true hero. His story and medals deeply touched my soul, making me appreciate the sacrifices made for our freedom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物互动与作者的情感转变为线索展开，讲述了作者在工作场所的大厅遇到一位看似落魄、实则因战争半盲的退伍军人后，从最初的误解，到被对方的牺牲与困境深深触动，最终不仅帮其复印文件，还主动陪他买食物、送礼品卡的故事。文章通过细腻的心理描写与对话，生动展现了对退伍军人的尊重与感恩之情。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我走近这位老兵，建议陪他走去商店”可知，第一段可描写去商店途中的交流、老兵的状态以及我的内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“除了食物，我还为他购买了一张礼品卡”可知，第二段可描写我赠送礼品卡时老兵的反应、双方的互动以及此事给我带来的感悟。 2. 续写线索： 提议陪同 ——途中交谈 ——了解困境 —— 购买食物与礼品卡 ——赠送 ——老兵的感激与我的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①分享故事：share stories /talk about his experiences ②交给：hand /give ③紧握双手：grasp my hand tightly /hold my hand firmly 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised /astonished ②感动的：overwhelmed with emotion /deeply touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] He looked at me, surprised, but with a grateful smile, he accepted my offer.（运用了形容词作状语） [高分句型2] As we walked, he shared stories from his college days, his voice filled with a longing for what could have been.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及“名词 + 过去分词”构成的独立主格结构） [高分句型3] Leaving the store, I felt a profound sense of fulfillment, knowing that I had made a difference in the life of a true hero.（运用了现在分词作时间状语和原因状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届云南三校高考备考实用性联考卷（二） 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上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。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman offer to do for the man?

Ancient grottoes, preserved cities, grand temples, and sacred mountains here stand as living testaments to China’s profound legacy, showcasing the evolution of art, religion, and architecture through stories of the past. Yungang Grottoes Vast, majestic, and around 1,500 years old, the Yungang Grottoes in Datong display Buddhist art and are a testament to East-West cultural exchanges in the 5th century. Carved into mountains and stretching about 1 km, they house over 59,000 Buddhist statues in 45 major caves and 209 connected caves, showcasing 5th-century East-West cultural exchanges. Compared to many other grotto temples in China, the Yungang Grottoes exhibit the most foreign influences. Pingyao Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple are key components of the Ancient City of Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shuanglin Temple was built in the 6th century, and the existing structures were rebuilt during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It’s known for housing more than 2,000 painted sculptures, which vividly depict the fusion of Buddhist anecdotes, a foreign cultural element, with ancient local productions and lifestyles. Huayan Temple Huayan Temple in Datong is one of the largest and best-preserved temple complexes from the Liao and Jin dynasties. The complex features characteristics of the Khitan (契丹人) people and bears witness to the integration of the nomadic and Han cultures. Huayan Temple, with its architecture, sculptures and murals, exemplifies the extensive interactions among ancient ethnic groups and reflects the profoundness and inclusiveness of Chinese culture. Mount Wutai Mount Wutai, located in Wutai County, is one of China’s four sacred Buddhist mountains. Since the 1st century, many monasteries have been built against the setting of the grand natural landscape, making it one of the largest ancient Buddhist architectural complexes in the world. The architecture, along with its sculptures, stone carvings, murals and calligraphy works, bears witness to the local adaptation of Buddhism and its spread throughout East Asia over the past 2,000 years. 21. What makes the Yungang Grottoes unique in China? A. It boasts a long history of more than 1,500 years. B. It stretches about 1 kilometer from east to west. C. It houses the largest number of Buddhist statues in China. D. It shows the most influences from other cultures. 22. What do the four sites have in common? A. They all house more than 2,000 painted sculptures. B. They are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. C. They all witness cultural exchanges or integration. D. They were all rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty. 23. This text is most probably taken from ______. A a travel guide B. a science report C. a history textbook D. a research paper B For Cai Guoqiang, every time feels like the first time. His nerves still hurt, his mind still races before he lights the fuse (引线) and the gunpowder explodes. It’s an intensity that hasn’t lessened even after 40 years. That’s how long Cai’s been making art through the use of explosives. “The anxiety is part of my motivation to create artwork,” Cai says. And there’s high demand for Cai’s art, famous worldwide. In China, he led visual and special effects for the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Olympics’ ceremonies. He spent eight years in Japan as a young artist and now lives in New York. Each time he lights a match, he briefly returns to his childhood — when he first played with firecrackers innocently. It helped that his hometown, Quanzhou City, was one that was known for its collection of fireworks sellers. But that didn’t mean he immediately grasped their artistic potential. First, he tried firing them headlong into blank canvases, which “wasn’t very successful because the whole canvas would burn completely through,” says Cai. But art was in his DNA. His father was a small-time poet and brush-and-ink calligrapher; and his mother, though not an artist herself, was a temple-going and incense-burning woman whose spiritual beliefs influenced her son. In his youth, Cai says, he was “unconsciously exposed to the ties between fireworks and the fates of humans, from the Chinese practice of setting off firecrackers at a birth, a death and during a wedding.” He felt something in the mix of matter and energy — maybe a comparison between mind and matter, humans and the universe — in the hot center of an explosion. Soon, he found he could take gunpowder out of firecrackers and light it directly on canvas, making mysterious, messy black-and-brown pictures of space, nature and time. The explosive aspect of the gunpowder took on a symbolic meaning for Cai. “As a person, it’s fine to be careful and cautious, but as an artist, you may need to break free and let yourself go a little,” says the artist. 24 What’s Cai’s feeling after having worked as an explosives artist for decades? A. Proud and satisfied. B. Fresh and motivated. C. Anxious and insecure. D. Exhausted and indifferent. 25. What does the underlined word “headlong” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Delicately. B. Slowly. C. Carelessly. D. Skilfully. 26. Which of the following factors hasn’t contributed to Cai’s artistic creations? A. The upbringing of his father, who was also an artist. B. The high demand for innovative artists around the world. C. The influence of his temple-going and incense-burning mother. D. The fact that he grew up in a place famous for firecrackers. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. People should take their careers seriously. B. There are lots of things worth celebrating in one’s life. C. Our time on earth is limited and we should treasure it. D. Artists should free their mind to have innovation. C Tipping has long been a widely accepted social norm in North America. But now more and more people are feeling tip fatigue from being “forced” to tip more frequently. Some consumers are posting on social media complaining about tip requests at restaurants. Others say they’re tired of being asked to leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee. What’s next, they wonder — are we going to be tipping our doctors and dentists, too? As more businesses start to include digital forms of payment, customers are automatically being asked to leave a tip — many times as high as 30% — at places they normally wouldn’t. And some say it has become more frustrating as the price of items has skyrocketed due to inflation (通货膨胀). The digital requests can produce social pressure and are more difficult to avoid. In the past, shoppers could easily ignore tip jars if they didn’t have any spare change. Nowadays, your generosity — or lack of it — can be laid bare for anyone close enough to glance at the screen — including the workers themselves. Tipping was born in the Middle Ages in Europe, a custom where servants would receive an extra tip from their masters for excellent performance. Tips were left in European pubs to ensure quick and good service. Wealthy Americans discovered the tradition for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s and they brought it back to the states as a way to feel noble. Traditionally, consumers have taken pride in being good tippers at places like restaurants, which typically pay their workers lower than the minimum wage. But many consumers are now feeling annoyed by automatic tip requests at coffee shops and other counter service eateries where tipping has not typically been expected. The pandemic has also sped up the trend towards more tipping. Michael Lynn, a consumer behavior professor, said consumers were more generous with tips during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were showing support for workers who held jobs that put them more at risk of catching the virus. Tips at full-service restaurants grew by 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, while tips at quick or counter service restaurants went up 16.7% compared to the same time period in 2021, according to data. This data shows that this same period has been experiencing continuous growth since 2019. 28. Which of the following is a reason why many consumers are feeling tip fatigue? A. Consumers often have to pay tips for some simple services. B. The inflation could provide people with more chances to tip. C. Consumers are worried they have to tip doctors in the future. D. The digital forms of payment allow customers to tip freely. 29. The digital forms of payment have ______. A. made tipping less than a choice B decreased the frequency of tipping C. reduced social pressure related to tipping D. removed the need for tipping altogether 30. Why did wealthy Americans adopt the tipping tradition from Europe? A. To reward excellent performance by people. B. To ensure quick and good service in pubs. C. To support workers during financial crises. D. To showcase that they are people of high social rank. 31. The last two paragraphs mainly talk about ______. A. the history and origins of tipping in Europe and America B. the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic on tipping trends C. variation in tipping habits in different types of restaurants D. social pressure and frustration caused by digital tipping D In the presence of chubby (胖嘟嘟) babies, furry puppies or other adorable little things, it isn’t uncommon to be driven by a desire to squeeze, pinch (捏) or even bite them. While you may have the desire to do one or more of these things, you certainly don’t wish to hurt these cute creatures. But why do some of us react in this strange way? Scientists have revealed what happens in the brain to fuel this response, which they refer to as “cute aggression.” The researchers gathered together 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 and fitted them with electrode caps (电极头罩) to measure their brain activity. The participants were asked to look at 32 photographs that were divided into four separate blocks: one consisted of images of adult animals (which the study’s authors classified as “less cute”), one of baby animals (classified as “cuter”), and two of human babies. The first block of human baby images had been altered to enhance those features we humans typically perceive as being cuter while the other was altered to reduce cuteness. After they had viewed the images, the participants were asked to fill out questionnaires that measured their responses to the photos. Images of baby animals got the strongest response. According to the study’s authors, the participants expressed more significant feelings of cute aggression — such as feelings of overwhelmingness, care-taking desires, and so forth — toward the baby animals than to the adult animals. They didn’t observe the same distinction between participants’ reactions to cuter and less-cute images of babies. Researchers said that this may be because both sets of babies were “objectively pretty cute.” By using the electrode caps, researchers were also able to gain insight into the neural (神经的) activity of participants who experienced cute aggression. This response was associated with greater activity, not only in the brain’s emotional systems, but also in its reward systems. The latter regulate motivation, pleasure and feelings of “wanting”. Scientists suspect that cute aggression is the brain’s way of coping with the overwhelming response that occurs when these two powerful brain systems start to work together. In other words, the brain tosses in a dash of aggression to temper the attack of these positive feelings. 32. Which of the following statements best describes the participants’ reactions to the images? A. They showed similar responses towards images of cute animals and babies. B. They expressed the most significant reactions towards images of baby animals. C. They exhibited stronger emotions towards images of cuter babies compared to less cute ones. D They displayed the same reactions to the images of baby animals and adult animals. 33. What happened when participants experienced cute aggression? A. There was stronger activity only in the brain’s reward systems. B. There was larger activity only in the brain’s emotional systems. C. There was no significant neural activity related to cute aggression. D. There was greater activity in the brain’s emotional and reward systems. 34. What is cute aggression according to the passage? A. A sign of mental health issues causing aggression. B. A result of negative feelings towards cute creatures. C. A form of control over things perceived as less powerful. D. A way for the brain to handle overwhelming positive feelings. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To investigate why people are driven to destroy cute things. B. To explore the standards people use to determine what is cute. C. To introduce what happens in the brain to cause cute aggression. D. To examine people’s emotional responses to seeing something cute. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Tell If Your Phone Is Tapped Have you ever worried that someone might be listening to your phone calls or monitoring your phone activity?

He looked lost and possibly homeless, or maybe even drunk because he was unsteady on his feet. I asked if I could help him. Trying to hand some old papers in my direction, he asked if I could make him a copy of his military paperwork. I took the papers very carefully from him so as not to tear them anymore than they already were. As I made the copies he told me that he was a soldier and had been half blinded in a war. I was shocked, but took a deep breath and simply replied, “Thank you for your service.” He told me how he hated going out in public because he knew people thought he must be a homeless or drunk man I felt terrible because I had indeed thought the very same thing. The veteran went on to say that he was college educated and had many hopes and dreams in the past. Then I noticed he was holding a small brown paper bag. The bag was wrinkled and dirty so I offered him a plastic bag for his paperwork. He thanked me and then asked me to hold out my hand. As I held my hand open, he carefully opened up his bag as if it contained some rare treasure and then he placed two items in my palm. My jaw dropped and my eyes filled with tears. This wonderful man had just placed his military medals into my hand. I thanked him again for his service and for blessing me with the opportunity to hold history in the palm of my hand. He gathered his items and carefully placed them back in his bag and started to walk away. I saw him take a few dollars and some change from his pocket. He turned back and asked if there was a grocer nearby so he could get some food. He explained he was diabetic (糖尿病患者) and he was getting shaky because his blood sugar was getting low. Being diabetic myself I couldn’t let him leave alone. 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。 Approaching the veteran, I suggested walking him to the store. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alongside the food, I purchased a gift card for him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语试卷第一部分听力，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Text one, did I miss anything important yesterday?
