The visit is at no cost to the student. You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you’ re not quite sure what living there would be like. Applying takes time, so don’t do it unless you’ re seriously considering the school — that time could be better spent on your college applications and internships (实习). Timeline and Tips: 1. Do your research early. Make a list of your target colleges. Do they have a fly-in program? When is the application due? 2. Write and edit essays. By doing so, you’re taking baby steps toward the process of submitting the demanding college essays. 3. Submit! (Preferably a couple of days before the deadline, just in case.) 4. Wait. Generally, students will receive results at least two weeks before the event. Results Day: Read the email carefully. Waitlisted? If you wish to remain on the list, you may have to email back within a certain time frame (it’ ll say in the email) to keep your spot. ACCEPTED! Congratulations! Make sure you do the following: 1 Submit permission forms on time. Do not lose your spot by forgetting to do so. 2. Pack at least two days before! Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items. 3. Join a group chat. Tapping“add” on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus, you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you’ ll actually keep in touch with. Who knows, you might end up at the same college! 1. Why are fly-in programs offered? A. To assess students’ levels. B. To develop students’ interests. C. To expose students to college life. D. To collect student feedback on colleges. 2. What are applicants of fly-in programs advised to do? A. Plan for potential fees. B. Make a list of programs. C. Provide evidence of research. D. Avoid last-minute submission. 3. Which of the following methods does the text suggest for reaching other attendees? A Emails. B. Messaging groups. C. Phone calls. D. In-person meetups. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了免费的大学飞行访问项目，说明申请原因、时间规划与建议，以及申请结果公布后的应对事项，助力高中生了解大学生活。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“College fly - in programs are opportunities for high school students to visit colleges over the course of a few days and meet students from all around the world with various interests. The visit is at no cost to the student.( 大学飞行项目是高中生在几天的时间里参观大学的机会，并与来自世界各地有不同兴趣的学生见面。这次访问对学生来说是免费的。)”以及第二段中“You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you’ re not quite sure what living there would be like.( 如果你真的想去那所大学，或者不确定在那里生活会是什么样，你就应该申请。)”由此可以推断出，这个项目是为了让高中生体验大学生活。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Timeline and Tips”部分提到“Submit! (Preferably a couple of days before the deadline, just in case.)( 提交申请！（最好在截止日期前几天提交，以防万一。）)”这表明建议申请者避免在最后一刻提交申请。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ACCEPTED!”部分提到“Join a group chat. Tapping “add” on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus, you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you’ ll actually keep in touch with. Who knows, you might end up at the same college!( 加入群聊。在群聊中点击“添加”比交换电话号码更容易、更快捷。此外，你可能只会得到少数几个你真正会保持联系的学生的电话号码。谁知道呢，你们可能最终会在同一所大学！)”由此可知文章建议通过群聊（Messaging groups）与其他参加者联系。故选B项。 B In the mid-20th century, maps of the world showed continents surrounded by vast, featureless oceans. Beneath the waves, the ocean floor was largely unknown. That all changed thanks to the work of Marie Tharp, a pioneering cartographer and geologist. In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. She partnered with oceanographer Bruce Heezen, who collected sonar (声呐) data from ships that crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The data was just a string of numbers and graphs — without someone to translate it into a visual format, it was difficult to interpret. That was where Tharp came in. She began plotting thousands of data points, a painstaking process that required a mix of mathematical skill and artistic intuition. In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a place where the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议的) theory of continental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time. Convincing the scientific community would prove difficult, since many geologists had long believed that the ocean floor was flat and featureless. Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp’s findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they provided, became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology. Her work proved that the ocean floor was not static (静态的) but a dynamic, changing landscape. For many years, Tharp’s contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes,receiving little recognition for her groundbreaking work. Today, satellite and sonar technology enable us to map the ocean floor with incredible precision, but none of this would have been possible without Tharp’s pioneering efforts. 4. What underlying reason motivated Tharp’s commitment to science? A. A request from Heezen. B. A need to store sonar data. C. A belief in continental drift. D. A desire to establish herself. 5. Why was Tharp’s discovery of the central valley significant? A. It backed a then-dismissed theory. B. It showed sonar data was unreliable. C. It confirmed the ocean floor was flat. D. It questioned a once-popular technology. 6. How did Tharp and Heezen make Tharp’s findings widely accepted? A. By giving public lectures. B. By visualizing data points. C. By consulting geology experts. D. By publishing scientific papers. 7. How was Tharp’s work treated by her contemporaries? A. It was credited to others. B. It was viewed as accidental. C. It was briefly acknowledged. D. It was ignored as lacking evidence. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍20世纪中期，Marie Tharp绘制大西洋海底地图，发现大西洋中脊的中央山谷，支持大陆漂移说，其成果成了现代地质学的基石，虽曾被忽视，却具开创性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. (在20世纪40年代，很少有女性被科学界接受。然而， Tharp决心要留下自己的印记)”可知，想要确立自身地位的愿望促使Tharp投身于科学事业。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-AtlanticRidge, a place where the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议的) theory of continental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time.(在绘制地图的过程中，萨普发现了大西洋中脊的中央山谷，在那里海底正在分裂。这正是能支持有争议的大陆漂移理论的证据，该理论在当时基本上被科学界所忽视)”可知，Tharp关于中央山谷的发现之所以重要是因为它为一个争议的理论提供了证据。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp’s findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they provided, became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology.(Tharp和Heezen转向艺术来创造海底的视觉表现。这产生了令人惊叹的地图，以一种任何科学论文都无法做到的方式，使萨普的发现栩栩如生。这些地图的美丽俘获了科学家和公众的想象力。萨普的地图和它们提供的证据，成为现代地质学理解的基石)”可知，Tharp and Heezen通过让数据可视化，使得Tharp的发现被广泛接受。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For many years, Tharp’s contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes, receiving little recognition for her groundbreaking work.(多年来，萨普的贡献被她的男性同事所掩盖——Bruce Heezen的名字经常出现在科学论文上。萨普在幕后工作，她的开创性工作几乎没有得到认可)”推知，同时代的人将Tharp的成就归功于他人。故选A。 C When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book. It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”. The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favoured books into a “trend-driven accessory”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman. BookTok is seen as performative, with “trendy books” going viral not because of the “quality of the literature” but because it suggests an “increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style”. And when reading becomes a competition, with “countless users showing off” about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to “demonstrating yourself to be a voracious ‘reader’.” Social posturing through books isn’t new. What is new is the “uniquely unapologetic” way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as “an accessory, rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”. But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to UK libraries. One of life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling into a story” and “tuning the world out”, without “worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”. 8. Why do some people engage in performative reading? A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits. C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature. 9 What does the underlined word “voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Occasional. 10. What risk does turning books into accessories create? A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline. C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get sidelined. 11. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be . A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without direct intervention 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论“表演性阅读”现象，指出人们为展示形象而读书，且社交媒体加剧此风。虽可能影响书籍质量，但也带动销量。文章最后指出应用正确的方式对待“表演性阅读”的人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”.(Alaina Demopoulos在《卫报》上写道，这被称为“表演性阅读”，因为“阅读的人”希望“每个人都知道”他们在阅读。他们表示，他们有“品味和注意力持续时间”来“拿起一本实体书”)”可知，一些人进行“表演性阅读”是为了提升自己的社会形象，想让别人知道他们有品味和注意力来阅读一本实体书。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“And when reading becomes a competition, with “countless users showing off” about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to “demonstrating yourself to be a voracious ‘reader’.”(当阅读成为一种竞争，“无数用户炫耀”自己在一个月里读了35本以上的书时，据说，质量让位于“展示自己是一个voracious ‘读者’”)”可知，无数人炫耀自己在一个月内读了35本书以上，以此表达自己是一个求知欲强的读者。由此猜测划线词意为“有求知欲的”，与eager“热切的”意思相近。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“What is new is the “uniquely unapologetic” way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as “an accessory, rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”.(新的变化在于，社交媒体以一种“全然不加掩饰”的方式“认可”了书籍是“一种配饰而非艺术品”这一观念。而这其中存在一种风险，即可能导致出版商将精力集中在那些“适合社交平台展示”的书籍上)”可知，将书籍转变为配饰可能导致出版商将精力集中在那些“适合社交平台展示”的书籍上，即书的内容可能被忽略。由此推知，这种情况可能导致有意义的内容被边缘化。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”.(很多人仍在这样做，所以与其对“表演性阅读”指手画脚，下次在咖啡馆或公园看到有人拿着书时，就别打扰他们了，因为“这与你无关”，他们只是在“享受当下”)”推知，根据Demopoulos的观点，那些在公共场合阅读的人应该得到尊重而不是直接干预，因为“这与你无关”且他们只是在“享受当下”。故选D。 D Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost. Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention. Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care? 12. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study? A. The procedures it followed. B. The limitations in its design. C. The conclusion it has drawn. D. The diversity among its participants. 13. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have? A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently. C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word. 14. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate? A. AI can change users’ mental capacity. B. AI is not widely available to the public. C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness. D. AI is not capable of solving every problem. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。MIT研究表明，使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低，但长期影响未知。虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力，但需权衡其利弊。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (从长远来看，人工智能是否会让人类的大脑变弱，这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究背后的研究人员强调，需要进一步的工作来确定人工智能使用量增加与大脑功能减弱之间的明确因果关系。毕竟，这项研究的样本量很小，而且只关注一个单一的任务)”可知，第三段主要强调了MIT研究设计的局限——样本量很小，且只关注一个单一的任务。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion (神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. (早在公元前5世纪，苏格拉底就曾抱怨说，写作不是“记忆的药水，而是提醒的药水”。计算器使收银员不必计算账单。导航应用免去了看地图的需要。然而，很少有人会认为人们的能力因此而下降)”可知，根据苏格拉底的说法，写作的消极结果是人们更少依赖自己的记忆。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” (但令人担忧的是，生成式人工智能允许人们卸载思维过程。而且，一旦大脑养成了“卸载”的习惯，就很难改掉了。正如一位用户所说，“我太依赖人工智能了，如果没有它，我不知道如何解决某些问题。”)”可知，该用户的话表明AI可能会助长用户的思维惰性。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (从长远来看，人工智能是否会让人类的大脑变弱，这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究背后的研究人员强调，需要进一步的工作来确定人工智能使用量增加与大脑功能减弱之间的明确因果关系。毕竟，这项研究的样本量很小，而且只关注一个单一的任务)”和最后一段“The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AImakes people less intelligent, will they care? (这项技术是如此年轻，以至于在许多任务中，人类的大脑仍然是工具包中最锋利的工具。但随着时间的推移，人工智能的消费者和监管机构都将不得不评估其更广泛的好处是否超过任何认知成本。如果有更有力的证据表明人工智能会让人变得更不聪明，他们会在意吗?)”可知，文章主要介绍MIT 研究表明，使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低，虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力，但需权衡其利弊。因此A项“AI会使你变笨吗?”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 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。 Picture your dream living room. You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café? ____16____ , and researchers say it can influence your wellbeing. In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves. ____17____ . With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels and a higher risk of disease in humans. Not only that, it can affect the behaviour and life cycles of species which rely on sound. So, what can be done? ____18____ In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built“superblocks”,where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised. A 2025BMC Public Health article reported that people in these areas experienced improved well-being,better sleep quality, and reduced noise. Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. ____19____ . England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers. ____20____ . But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too. A. Urban design is one trick. B. Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century. C. Personal mindfulness may silence the chaos outside. D. This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape. E. Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter. F. In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport. G. Noise is an essential part of the soundscape in most environments. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章先介绍音景及对健康的影响，指出如今音景受噪音污染，接着给出城市设计、树木缓冲带等降噪方法，强调减少噪音对打造好音景很重要。 【16题详解】 根据前文“You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café?( 你坐在沙发上，窗户开着。你听到了什么？是河水流动的声音吗？附近咖啡馆的嗡嗡声？)”列举了“河流声、咖啡馆嗡嗡声”等具体声音，空格后提到“it can influence your wellbeing(它能影响你的健康)”此处“it”需指代前文的“多种声音的组合”。D 选项“This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape.( 这种声音的组合被称为音景)。”既承接了前文的声音列举，又为后文的“it”提供了指代对象，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves.( 在过去，声景是由自然的声音组成的，比如鸟鸣和海浪撞击的声音。)”说“过去的音景由自然声音构成”，后文“With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.( 随着快速的城市化，航空旅行、建筑和交通噪音现在都混杂在一起，农业噪音意味着即使是农村生活也不安全。)”则转折指出“城市化带来交通、建筑等噪音，甚至农村也受影响”。B选项“Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century.( 悲哀地，21 世纪情况已不再如此。)”恰好衔接“过去”与“现在”的对比，体现音景的变化，符合转折逻辑。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“So, what can be done?( 那么，我们能做些什么呢？)”提问“能做些什么来解决噪音污染”，后文“In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built “superblocks”, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised.( 在西班牙的巴塞罗那，城市规划者建造了“超级街区”，在那里，交通绕过大型建筑群，内部街道是步行街。)”以巴塞罗那“超级街区”为例，说明城市规划对减少噪音的作用。A 选项“Urban design is one trick.( 城市设计是一种方法。)”直接回应前文的“解决方案”，并引出后文的城市规划案例，起到承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy.( 其他技术包括树木缓冲，在城市地区种植树木以吸收声波能量。)”提到“减少噪音的方法包括树木缓冲带”，后文“England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers.( 英格兰有一个巨大的树篱网。事实证明，它们是很好的隔音屏障。)”又例举了英国“树篱作隔音屏障”的例子，空格处需补充另一个“隔音方法”的案例。F选项“In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport.( 在德国，人们在机场旁建造土堤。)”与“树木缓冲带”“树篱”并列，均为具体的隔音措施，符合“其他技巧”的列举逻辑。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too.( 但减少噪音污染同样重要，有助于创造一个适合每个人的音景。一个更好的世界不仅仅是更干净，而且听起来也应该更好。)”转折提到“但减少噪音污染同样重要”，说明空格处需提及另一个“改善环境的常见措施”，形成“（某措施）很重要，但噪音污染也重要”的对比。E选项“Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter.( 改善环境通常从减少垃圾开始。)”符合“常见环境措施”的定位，与后文的“噪音污染”构成并列，逻辑通顺。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My son is tidying the living room with proper attention.

These coatings often rely on PFAS, a class of chemicals ____38____ (use) in a wide range of products. Highly mobile, the chemicals leach (浸出) out of products and accumulate in the water system, food chain and human bodies, and take hundreds to thousands of years ____39____ (break) down, hence the name “forever chemicals”. “We’ve become so disengaged with the production side of clothing that we are no longer thinking about ____40____ is making that garment (服装) waterproof,” says Patrick Grant, an environmental scientist. “It’s not magic; it’s chemistry.” Among the companies leading the charge towards clean fashion ____41____ (be) Swedish brandFjällräven. Over the past year, the brand ____42____ (educate) customers on how to care for the more expensive PFAS-free garments. ____43____ earlier waterproof clothing that protected against almost everything, including oils, newer garments require more frequent washing. The EU is in the process of banning PFAS in consumer products through ____44____ law due to come into effect in 2026, meaning all clothing brands will have to test and ____45____ (public) state that they are PFAS-free. Many brands are seizing this as an opportunity to reposition themselves as “clean fashion.” 【答案】36. affordable 37. But 38. used 39. to break 40. what 41. is 42. has been educating 43. Unlike 44. a 45. publicly 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍20世纪30年代的防水服因化学涂层含有PFAS对环境和人类有害。为解决这一问题，目前欧盟正在推动无PFAS的清洁时尚。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于20世纪30年代化学涂料的发展，轻质、透气、经济实惠的防水服装已经广泛使用。修饰名词词组waterproof clothing，表示“便宜的”，应用形容词affordable作定语。故填affordable。 【37题详解】 考查连词。句意：但事实证明，舒适和便利是以环境和我们为代价的。上文提到的“经化学处理的防水服被广泛使用”和本句“舒适和便利是以环境和我们为代价”之间为转折关系，应用but连接，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填But。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些涂料通常依赖于PFAS，这是一种用于各种产品的化学品。句中已有谓语动词rely on，空处应用非谓语动词，use和逻辑主语chemicals之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填used。 【39题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：这些化学物质流动性很强，从产品中滤出，在水系统、食物链和人体中积累，需要数百年到数千年的时间才能分解，因此被称为“永远的化学物质”。此处为固定句型：主语+takes/took+时间+to do“某物……需要花费多长时间”。故填to break。 【40题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：环境科学家Patrick Grant表示：“我们已经不再关注服装的生产环节，以至于我们不再考虑如何让服装防水。”“这不是魔法；这是化学。”空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，且指代事物，应用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。 【41题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：瑞典公司brandFjällräven是引领清洁时尚潮流的公司之一。空处为句子谓语，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，本句为介词短语置于句首引起的完全倒装，主语Swedish brandFjällräven是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数形式。故填is。 【42题详解】 考查时态。句意：在过去的一年里，该品牌一直在教育顾客如何保养更昂贵的不含PFAS的服装。结合时间状语over the past year以及语境可知，本句强调从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作，应用现在完成时，主语the brand是第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has been educating。 43题详解】 考查介词。句意：不像早期的防水服装可以保护几乎所有的东西，包括油，新的服装需要更频繁的洗涤。后跟名词词组earlier waterproof clothing作宾语，与之前的防水服进行对比，表示“不像”应用介词unlike，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Unlike。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：欧盟正在通过一项将于2026年生效的法律禁止在消费品中使用PFAS，这意味着所有服装品牌都必须进行测试并公开声明它们不含PFAS。law“法律”是可数名词的单数形式，此处表泛指，且该词的发音是辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：欧盟正在通过一项将于2026年生效的法律禁止在消费品中使用PFAS，这意味着所有服装品牌都必须进行测试并公开声明它们不含PFAS。修饰动词state“声明”应用副词publicly“公开地”，作状语。故填publicly。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你和交换生Peter参加了你校语言社组织的“Language Buddy Project”(语言互助伙伴计划)，现需要合作制作一段3分钟的视频进行活动分享。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)你的方案；(2)征求意见。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, I hope you are doing well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, I hope you are doing well.

Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。要求考生以李华的身份给Peter写信，告知他自己关于“Language Buddy Project”(语言互助伙伴计划)要求的3分钟视频分享活动的方案，并征求他的意见。 【详解】1.词汇积累 建议：suggest→advise 帮助：help→assist 展示：demonstrate→show 地点：location→position 2.句型拓展 同义句 原句：I suggest that we start the video by introducing ourselves and briefly describing how we have helped each other with English and Chinese learning.  拓展句：I suggest that we start the video by introducing ourselves and briefly describing the way in which we have helped each other with English and Chinese learning.  【点睛】【高分句型1】 I suggest that we start the video by introducing ourselves and briefly describing how we have helped each other with English and Chinese learning.（运用了that和how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】 If you have any ideas about the content, filming locations, or editing style, please let me know so we can make the video both informative and interesting.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句） 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In the heavy summer heat, I watched an elderly woman struggle with a walker, weighed down with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride? Let me help you with your groceries.” Getting out of the car, I placed her walker and bags into my trunk. “Bless you, child,” she said. We were off. She directed me to go south. It seemed too far for her to walk. She explained that she usually took a bus but had missed the last one. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store. We chatted as if we’d known each other for years. Her name was Ida. She had grandchildren. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance. They were smoking something and appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling. I was getting more and more uncomfortable, but Ida seemed fine. I stopped the car. Ida directed a couple of the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could. Suddenly I heard the roar of a motorcycle behind me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house — the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me. He didn’t pass me but continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop. It would soon be getting dark. No way was I going to stop for a suspicious stranger on a deserted street. In a panic, I reached down for my purse to grab my cell phone. I had to call 911. But my purse wasn’t there! 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “She stole my purse! So much for acts of kindness,” I thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s purse ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “She stole my purse! So much for acts of kindness,” I thought. Meanwhile, the guy on the motorcycle stayed close and even tried to get in front of me, signaling for me to stop. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a purse on the floor of my car. Yes, there was a purse, but it wasn’t mine. Then I saw the guy right outside my window, waving my purse! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I pulled over to the curb, and the young man stopped his motorcycle by the passenger side. Through the window I had opened, he handed me my purse. “Grandma sent me to give you this. She picked it up by mistake. She is so sorry.” He was still smiling. This time, his smile didn’t appear threatening, simply gracious. I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s purse. Then he took off. After retrieving a few dollars, I waved for the young man to stop, hoping to reward him, but he had disappeared into the night. I did manage to yell, “Thank you!” I had assumed he was a criminal because he looked “wild” but he was really an angel who went out of his way to help a stranger. Sometimes, we misjudge a person’s character because they don’t conform to what we believe is proper. They may not drive a stylish car, live on the “right” side of town, or dress in what we consider to be fashionable, but who’s to say they are not equal to or better than we are? 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个炎热的夏日，作者主动搭载背着杂物的老妇人回家。在到达“城市另一端”老妇人的家时，作者注意到了几个看起来不友善的年轻人，她感到不舒服。后来一个人骑着摩托车跟着作者，天色变暗，作者感到害怕，想拨打求助电话，此时发现自己的钱包不见了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“‘她偷了我的钱包！’我想，善举也就到此为止了。”并结合第二段首句“当我把他奶奶的钱包递给他时，我无言以对。”可知，本段可描写骑摩托车的男子拿来了作者的钱包，误会被解开——拿错了钱包。 ②根据第二段首句“当我把他奶奶的钱包递给他时，我无言以对。”可知，下文可描写作者还没来得及感谢骑摩托车的男子，他已经消失了，作者也明白了不能以地域判断一个人的好坏。 2.续写线索：认为老妇人偷了自己的钱包——男子送来作者的钱包——误会解开——作者把奶奶的钱包递给男子——还未感谢，人已消失——感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①示意：signal/gesture ②停车：stop/pull over ③递给：hand/pass ④大叫：yell/shout 情绪类 ①亲切的：gracious/kind ②野蛮的：wild/rude 【点睛】【高分句型1】Meanwhile, the guy on the motorcycle stayed close and even tried to get in front of me, signaling for me to stop.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Sometimes, we misjudge a person’s character because they don’t conform to what we believe is proper.（运用了because引导的原因状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语试卷 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) 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。 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.

The visit is at no cost to the student. You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you’ re not quite sure what living there would be like. Applying takes time, so don’t do it unless you’ re seriously considering the school — that time could be better spent on your college applications and internships (实习). Timeline and Tips: 1. Do your research early. Make a list of your target colleges. Do they have a fly-in program? When is the application due? 2. Write and edit essays. By doing so, you’re taking baby steps toward the process of submitting the demanding college essays. 3. Submit! (Preferably a couple of days before the deadline, just in case.) 4. Wait. Generally, students will receive results at least two weeks before the event. Results Day: Read the email carefully. Waitlisted? If you wish to remain on the list, you may have to email back within a certain time frame (it’ ll say in the email) to keep your spot. ACCEPTED! Congratulations! Make sure you do the following: 1. Submit permission forms on time. Do not lose your spot by forgetting to do so. 2. Pack at least two days before! Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items. 3. Join a group chat. Tapping“add” on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus, you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you’ ll actually keep in touch with.

B In the mid-20th century, maps of the world showed continents surrounded by vast, featureless oceans. Beneath the waves, the ocean floor was largely unknown. That all changed thanks to the work of Marie Tharp, a pioneering cartographer and geologist. In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. She partnered with oceanographer Bruce Heezen, who collected sonar (声呐) data from ships that crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The data was just a string of numbers and graphs — without someone to translate it into a visual format, it was difficult to interpret. That was where Tharp came in. She began plotting thousands of data points, a painstaking process that required a mix of mathematical skill and artistic intuition. In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a place where the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议的) theory of continental drift, which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time. Convincing the scientific community would prove difficult, since many geologists had long believed that the ocean floor was flat and featureless. Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp’s findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp’s maps, and the evidence they provided, became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology. Her work proved that the ocean floor was not static (静态的) but a dynamic, changing landscape. For many years, Tharp’s contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues — it was Bruce Heezen’s name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes,receiving little recognition for her groundbreaking work. Today, satellite and sonar technology enable us to map the ocean floor with incredible precision, but none of this would have been possible without Tharp’s pioneering efforts. 4. What underlying reason motivated Tharp’s commitment to science? A. A request from Heezen. B. A need to store sonar data. C. A belief in continental drift. D. A desire to establish herself. 5. Why was Tharp’s discovery of the central valley significant? A. It backed a then-dismissed theory. B. It showed sonar data was unreliable. C. It confirmed the ocean floor was flat. D. It questioned a once-popular technology. 6. How did Tharp and Heezen make Tharp’s findings widely accepted? A. By giving public lectures. B. By visualizing data points. C. By consulting geology experts. D. By publishing scientific papers. 7. How was Tharp’s work treated by her contemporaries? A. It was credited to others. B. It was viewed as accidental. C. It was briefly acknowledged. D. It was ignored as lacking evidence. C When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book. It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”. The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favoured books into a “trend-driven accessory”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman. BookTok is seen as performative, with “trendy books” going viral not because of the “quality of the literature” but because it suggests an “increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style”. And when reading becomes a competition, with “countless users showing off” about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to “demonstrating yourself to be a voracious ‘reader’.” Social posturing through books isn’t new. What is new is the “uniquely unapologetic” way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as “an accessory rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”. But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to UK libraries. One of life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling into a story” and “tuning the world out”, without “worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”. 8. Why do some people engage in performative reading? A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits. C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature. 9. What does the underlined word “voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Occasional. 10. What risk does turning books into accessories create? A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline. C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get sidelined. 11. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be . A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without direct intervention D Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost. Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention. Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care? 12. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study? A. The procedures it followed. B. The limitations in its design. C. The conclusion it has drawn. D. The diversity among its participants. 13. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have? A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently. C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word. 14. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate? A. AI can change users’ mental capacity. B. AI is not widely available to the public. C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness. D. AI is not capable of solving every problem. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit? 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。 Picture your dream living room. You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café? ____16____ , and researchers say it can influence your wellbeing.

Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride? Let me help you with your groceries.” Getting out of the car, I placed her walker and bags into my trunk. “Bless you, child,” she said. We were off. She directed me to go south. It seemed too far for her to walk. She explained that she usually took a bus but had missed the last one. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store. We chatted as if we’d known each other for years. Her name was Ida. She had grandchildren. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance. They were smoking something and appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling. I was getting more and more uncomfortable, but Ida seemed fine. I stopped the car. Ida directed a couple of the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could. Suddenly I heard the roar of a motorcycle behind me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house — the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me. He didn’t pass me but continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop. It would soon be getting dark. No way was I going to stop for a suspicious stranger on a deserted street. In a panic, I reached down for my purse to grab my cell phone. I had to call 911. But my purse wasn’t there! 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “She stole my purse!
