She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction. 5. What prepared Deegan for her bakery business? A. Working previously in the baking industry. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C Wanting desperately to gain total control. D. Offering baked food out of goodwill. 6. According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business? A. She achieved success through baking. B. She was ambitious about her business. C. She has an open-door employment policy. D. She only hired inexperienced workers. 7. Which of the following best describes Deegan? A. Creative and smart. B. Persistent and receptive. C. Honest and optimistic. D. Kind and easy-going. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了戒酒后想要把控自己生活的迪根喜欢烘焙，原来给别人送自制的饼干是想和别人搞好关系，这个爱好促成了她开启烘焙事业，同时因为自身的经历，她在招募员工时很包容，不嫌弃对方是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒酒了，但她很难与人重新建立联系。事实证明，与他人对视都很困难。迪根说：‘我有点像一副躯壳，真的没有很多生活技能或自信。’)”可知，2013年时候的Deegan很难与人重新建立联系，甚至都害怕与他人对视，可知，Deegan 在人际交往方面很吃力。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. ‘Feeding people is such a universal love language, ’ she said. (迪根开始把她自制的饼干带到人们的家里，这帮助她与人们重新建立联系。她说：‘喂饱人们是一种普世的爱的语言。’)”可知，Deegan 认为给人送食物能表达爱，所以她经常给别人送上自己做的饼干；第四段“Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. (迪根的生活在2015年发生了改变。在朋友们的鼓励下，她挑战自己，看能不能卖掉一个派。她卖了几十个！她开始在自己的小公寓里烘焙，并最终在2017年推出了正式业务。)”可知，也正是这种出于好意的为他人提供烘焙食品的行为，为后来Deegan 烘焙店生意奠定了基础，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒了酒，但她很难与人重新建立联系)”可知，迪根以前是一个嗜酒之人，但已戒了；最后一段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,’ Deegan told the reporter. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。迪根告诉记者：‘你只需要走进那扇门，做好准备，愿意、能够、兴奋地出现并工作，你就得到了一份工作。’)”可知，有酗酒史的Deegan的面包店不关注应聘者是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去，故有着特别开放的用人政策（open-door employment policy），这是特别之处。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. (她花了四年时间开发了一种派皮饼干食谱，从此成为她生意的核心和基础。)”可知，迪根很执着（Persistent），花4年时间研发一个食谱；第五段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have anyexperience. And she became a second- chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。)”可知，迪根善于接受（receptive）那些有缺点或能改过自新的人当员工。故选B项。 C Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy. But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilization are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils (化石) has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion: Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature. “Plastic will definitely be a signature ‘techno fossil’, because it is incredibly durable, we are making massive amounts of it, and it gets around the entire globe,” says Sarah Gabbott, a University of Leicester expert on fossils. “So wherever those future civilizations dig, they are going to find plastic.” Clothes will also make an abrupt entry into humanity’s fossil record. Today, the world’s growing population often wears mass-produced synthetic (合成的) clothing that are rapidly dumped and they are not as easily rotted as cotton and silk. “We are making them in ridiculous amounts,” says Gabbott. “We stick them into landfills, which are like giant mummification tombs. It is already clear that much of modern fashion will end up being truly timeless.” Fossils are not just objects left behind but also the traces of life’s activity written into the rocks. Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near-indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT. Given that similar molecules (分子) produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600 million years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. “And there is the graphite (石墨) used in pencils,” says Gabbott. “It is lovable to think that it may be the drawings of children that may survive best of all: a pencil portrait, perhaps, of a family outside a house, with the sun shining and a rainbow arcing across the sky,” she says jokingly. “The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eye-watering — it’s off the scale,” says Gabbott. All of the stuff made by humans by 1950 was a small part of all the matter on Earth. But today it outweighs all plants and animals. “This raises serious questions for us all,” she says, “Do you need that? Do you really need to buy more?” 8. What does the author think of the legacy mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Troubling. B. Short-lived. C. Technologically weak. D. Environmentally harmless. 9. What can be categorized as techno fossils? A. Dinosaur bones. B. Nuclear waste. C. Cotton clothing. D. Solid landfills. 10 Why is “children’s drawings” mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To highlight human creativity. B. To celebrate modern technology. C. To stress that warmth of life is here to stay. D. To indicate that chemicals could be fossilized. 11. What does the underlined word “eye-watering” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. brain-crashing. B. jaw-dropping. C. tear-jerking. D. heart-sinking. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了塑料和快时尚衣物将成为人类永恒的地质印记，并探讨了人类活动对地球未来的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段“Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy. But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilization are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils (化石) has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion: Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature.(塑料和廉价衣物并非光彩照人的遗产。然而，一位科学家在探究我们科技文明中的哪些物品最有可能在数百万年后留存为化石时，却得出了一个颇具讽刺意味且发人深省的结论：塑料和快时尚（快速更迭的时尚潮流）将成为我们永恒的地质印记)”可知，作者认为塑料和廉价衣物并不是一个光荣的遗产，但它们却可能成为我们永恒的地质印记，这是一个具有讽刺意味的结论，因此可以推断出作者认为这个遗产是令人担忧的。 故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段““Plastic will definitely be a signature ‘techno fossil’, because it is incredibly durable, we are making massive amounts of it, and it gets around the entire globe,” says Sarah Gabbott, a University of Leicester expert on fossils.(莱斯特大学的化石专家莎拉·加博特表示：“塑料无疑将成为一种标志性的‘科技化石’，因为它具有极强的耐用性，我们正在大量生产这种材料，而且它已经遍布全球各地。”)”可知，塑料因其耐用性、大量生产和全球分布而被视为“科技化石”。由此可以推断，具有类似特性的物品，如核废料（难以降解、持久存在），也可以被归类为科技化石。而恐龙骨骼是自然形成的化石，棉质衣物容易腐烂，固体垃圾填埋场是处理垃圾的方式，并非化石。 故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第五段“Fossils are not just objects left behind, but also the traces of life’s activity written into the rocks.Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near-indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT. Given that similar molecules (分子) produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600 million years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. “And there is the graphite (石墨) used in pencils,” says Gabbott.(化石不仅仅是遗留下来的物体，它们还是生命活动在岩石中镌刻下的痕迹。人类活动，如石油钻探和核试验，将会留下持久的伤痕。人类还创造了许多几乎无法被破坏的化学物质，比如二噁英和滴滴涕。鉴于在西澳大利亚州16亿年前的岩石中发现了细菌产生的类似分子，这些化学物质似乎将会长久留存。“还有铅笔中使用的石墨，”加博特说道。)”可知，化石不仅是遗留下来的物体，也是生命活动留在岩石中的痕迹，而铅笔中的石墨也可能成为化石，孩子们用铅笔画的画可能成为最好的化石。因此，提到“孩子们的画”是为了强调生命活动的痕迹也可能被化石化，即化学物质（如石墨）可以被化石化。 故选D。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段““The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eye-watering — it’s off the scale,” says Gabbott.(加博特表示：“这里传达的关键信息是，我们如今制造的物品数量之多令人eye-watering——简直超乎想象。”)”可知，我们现在制造的东西数量之多令人震惊，已经超出了常规范围。所以，eye-watering在此处的意思是“令人震惊的”，与“jaw-dropping（令人瞠目结舌的）”意思相近。故选B。 D Many economists predict 2025 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats. The economic uncertainty means that consumers are becoming more discriminating about their purchases, says Ethan Chernofsky, senior vice president of marketing at intelligence platform Placer. ai. “There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries,” he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品). Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well. Additionally, stressed-out shoppers are prioritizing small splurge purchases for wellness and personal care. As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers. Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries — but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats. To get these goods, shoppers are likely to tap into the re-sale market for designer items at a more reasonable price. They want things that make them feel good about themselves — they just want to do it without breaking the bank. 12. What can affordable luxuries be? A. Stylish super cars. B. In-season vegetables. C. High quality eye creams. D. Full-price brand handbags. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The joy businesses offer. B. The strategies retailers use. C. The competition stores face. D. The products consumers buy. 14. What do most shoppers seek according to Ethan? A. Social-media deals. B. World-famous brands. C. Second-hand bargains. D. Budget-friendly pleasures. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Lipstick Index: Where Does It Lead Us? B. affordable Joy: Will We Fall into The Trap? C. Must-have Treats: A Future Spending Trend D. Little Luxuries: A Driving Force Behind Consumption 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了经济不景气时消费者转向小额奢侈品消费的现象及趋势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries,” he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品).(“有些东西我们认为是必要的，然后还有另一类东西，它们不是必要的，但我们认为是负担得起的奢侈品，”他说。在困难时期，人们对这些“负担得起的奢侈品”的渴望是很常见的。一些经济学家将这种现象称为“口红指数”：由精打细算的消费者引领的小幅经济增长，他们寻求相对负担得起的大肆挥霍，比如小型化妆品)”以及第三段中“Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well.(德勤的分析师表示，消费者也会把钱花在特色咖啡和零食等小奢侈品上)”可知，负担得起的奢侈品可以是小型化妆品、特色咖啡、零食等，C选项“高品质眼霜”属于小型化妆品，符合题意。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第四段“As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers.(随着零售商看到购物者转向小奢侈品，他们提供了越来越多的小奢侈品。例如，塔吉特已经打出了一面旗帜，他们称之为“负担得起的快乐”，其中包括一系列自我护理和化妆品，以及以健康为中心的美容产品。除了使产品多样化之外，商店还以较低的价格引入感觉奢华的产品，以吸引更多的消费者)”可知，第四段主要讲了零售商使用的策略，即提供更多的小奢侈品，并以较低的价格引入感觉奢华的产品，以吸引消费者。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries— but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats.(伊桑说，并不是每个购物者都会把他们的消费转向小奢侈品，但即使是那些仍然渴望社交媒体上的“必需品”的人也会寻求优惠。他们想要购买低价实惠商品的满足感)”可知，根据伊桑的说法，大多数购物者寻求的是经济实惠的乐趣，即购买低价实惠的商品。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第一段“Many economists predict 2025 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats.(许多经济学家预测，到2025年，消费者将开始勒紧裤腰带过日子。零售业分析师表示，这并不意味着人们会停止消费，但人们的消费选择将会发生变化。随着就业市场增速放缓，全球消费者很可能会不再热衷于购买高价商品，转而将注意力放在购买一些价格较低的小物件上，以此犒劳自己)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲了经济不景气时，消费者转向小额奢侈品消费的现象。文章介绍了消费者在经济不确定性下的消费行为变化，零售商如何应对这一趋势，以及消费者对小额奢侈品的偏好和购买行为。D选项“小奢侈品：消费背后的驱动力”最符合文章主旨，能够概括文章的主要内容。故选D。 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。 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. ___16___ I was not the only one who felt this way. About 50% of the passengers of our expedition had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical the destination is. ___17___ How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The blinding white blankets everything, blurring the boundary between land and ocean. The icy water moves through your body as you take the Polar Plunge. The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. The list goes on. Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. Everything has a purpose, and the cycle of life is evident. You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. ___18___ For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. ___19___ Things move fast here, every month offering something unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. Our voyage was the last of the season. In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice. The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive. ___20___ These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It’s absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor. A. But that is not how it is. B. It is as much cruel as beautiful. C. I, years later, did return to this fascinating place. D. The cycle continues, and you’ re left wondering who to support. E. That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe it. F. But immediately I stepped foot on the continent, I knew I needed to return. G. The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. B 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在南极洲的旅行经历。 【16题详解】 根据上文“I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.(我一直把它描述为一个一生一次的经历。)”可知，作者认为去南极洲的旅行是一个一生一次的经历，F选项“但当我踏上这片大陆时，我知道我需要回去”能够承接上文，表示虽然作者刚开始认为去南极洲的旅行是一个一生一次的经历，但当作者踏上南极的陆地时，想法改变了，知道还会回到那里。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文“How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs.(在高耸的冰川和冰山旁边，你感觉多么渺小)”和“The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. (庄严的沉默平息了你的不安，让你想起了过去探险家们感人的生存故事)”可知，此处在讲在南极的感官感受，E选项“你所有的感官都会受到刺激，这是我所能描述的最好的方式”引起下文对于感官的描述。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据下文“For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches.(例如，当你看到一只棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟时，你的心会痛)”可知，棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟的例子表明，自然有美，也有残酷，B项意为“它既美丽又残忍”引起下文，下文举例说明了自然的残忍是如何体现的。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. (例如，当你看到一只棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟时，你的心会痛。然后你的探险向导遗憾地告诉你，一只在三月出生的小企鹅在即将到来的冬天存活的机会非常渺茫。)”可知，自然是残酷的，其中有弱肉强食，经历着一次次生命循环，D选项“循环仍在继续，你不知道该为谁加油。”能够承接上文，描述自然生命的循环。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive. (企鹅正在完成一年一度的换羽过程。这段时间它们真的很虚弱，不能潜水。)”可知，企鹅在的换羽过程中很虚弱，G选项“探险队确保我们保持距离，没有吓到他们”能够承接上文，企鹅在的换羽过程中很虚弱，所以探险队确保保持距离，不要吓到它们。此处them与上文The penguins呼应。故选G。 第二部分 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，从每题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For my 65th birthday, my wife purchased a week of personal training for me.

When ____36____ (season) tea lovers comment on a cup of tea, they might comment on its qi and yun. In a 2021 paper, Zhang Jinghong notes that in Chinese culture, food and drink are not judged only by taste or smell. When ____37____ (cite) the ancient saying, “Medicine and food have the same origin”, she says that the impact of food and drink on the body remains ____38____ important factor in how Chinese perceive taste and quality. Just to name one example, common food descriptors like “hot” and “cold” do not describe specific temperatures, ____39____ how a dish is perceived to affect a person’s inner temperature. Keeping that ____40____ mind, what exactly do tea lovers mean when they talk about qi and yun? Deng Shihai, an early expert on Pu’er tea, praised its “flavorless flavor” as the highest level Pu’er can attain. If that sounds needlessly contradictory, you’re not alone, but to Deng, it was a way to distinguish beginners at tea, ____41____ focus on taste, from experts who see tea more ____42____ (whole). Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the far ____43____ (expand) natural world. As Zhang notes, “Qi and yun ____44____ (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the ____45____ (unit) of people and things, and people and nature.” 【答案】36. seasoned 37. citing 38. an 39. but 40. in 41. who 42. wholly 43. more expansive 44. are considered 45. unity 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了品茶词汇中的“气”和“韵”的含义，以及它们在中国文化中对于感知味道和质量的重要性。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。 句意：当有经验的茶爱好者评价一杯茶时，他们可能会谈论茶的“气”和“韵”。根据空后名词“tea lovers”可知，空处需用形容词作定语；season是动词，其形容词形式seasoned，表示“有经验的、老练的”，符合语境，指有经验的茶爱好者。故填seasoned。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在引用古语“药食同源”时，她说，食物和饮料对身体的影响仍然是中国人感知味道和质量的一个重要因素。此处需要非谓语动词作状语。动词cite与逻辑主语she之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式作状语。故填citing。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在引用古语“药食同源”时，她说，食物和饮料对身体的影响仍然是中国人感知味道和质量的一个重要因素。此处泛指“一个重要因素”，且important以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。故填an。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：举一个常见的例子，像“热”和“冷”这样的食物描述符并不是描述特定的温度，而是描述一道菜如何影响一个人的体内温度。此处是固定短语not…but…“不是……而是……”。故填but。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：考虑到这一点，当茶爱好者谈论“气”和“韵”时，他们到底是什么意思呢？此处是固定短语keep…in mind“记住……”。故填in。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：如果这听起来自相矛盾，你并不孤单，但对邓来说，这是一种区分初学茶的人（他们关注味道）和更全面看待茶的专家的方法。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是beginners，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导该从句。故填who。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：如果这听起来自相矛盾，你并不孤单，但对邓来说，这是一种区分初学茶的人（他们关注味道）和更全面看待茶的专家的方法。此处修饰动词see，应用副词形式。whole是形容词，其副词形式 wholly表示“全面地、完全地”。故填wholly。 【43题详解】 考查形容词比较级。 句意：人们认为“气”和“韵”比任何简单的味觉描述都更高级，部分原因是它们暗示了一种难以描述的人与事物之间的联结感，甚至与更广阔的自然界之间的联结感。根据空前副词“far（……得多，用来修饰比较级）”可知，此处需用形容词比较级，表示 “更广阔的自然界”；expand是动词，其形容词形式expansive，表示“广阔的”，比较级为“more expansive”。故填more expansive。 【44题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：正如张所指出的，“‘气’和‘韵’被认为能更准确、更全面地表达人们被事物触动时的感受，更好地反映人与事物、人与自然的统一。”空处为句子谓语动词。此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语Qi and yun与动词consider之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用are。故填are considered。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：正如张所指出的，“‘气’和‘韵’被认为能更准确、更全面地表达人们被事物触动时的感受，更好地反映人与事物、人与自然的统一。”此处作动词reflect的宾语，应用名词unity“统一”。故填unity。 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报正在举办题为“An Unforgettable Experience of Labour”的征文大赛。请你写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1．你的劳动经历； 2．你的感受。 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。 An Unforgettable Experience of Labour ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 An Unforgettable Experience of Labour During the National Day holiday that had just finished, I spent one day participating in a local environmental clean-up initiative.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn't understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show, Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. His fluid movements combining strength and grace drew gasps of admiration. When he demonstrated a dragon-style sequence, the British students clapped enthusiastically. Sensing their genuine interest, Li Ming offered to teach basic stances. In return, they taught him popular dance steps, blending Eastern and Western elements into their performance. Gradually, Li Ming found himself laughing naturally during rehearsals. The cultural exchange dissolved his anxiety, replacing it with collaborative joy. By performance day, their routine had transformed into a vibrant fusion of martial arts and modern dance. After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Classmates greeted him warmly in corridors, asking about kung fu philosophies. In literature class, group members actively sought his interpretations, patiently listening to his accented English. At lunch breaks, students invited him to join conversations about cultural differences. The once-daunting school parties became opportunities to share Chinese pop songs. Most importantly, Li Ming stopped overthinking every interaction. He realized communication wasn’t about perfection, but sincere effort. Slowly, his initial adventure transformed into meaningful connections built on mutual curiosity and respect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个叫李明的中国交换学生在英国遇到的适应问题，最后他因为参加才艺表演而有机会展示中国功夫。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在练习过程中，这群人对李明的中国功夫感到惊讶。”可知，第一段需要详细描写练习时的情景，比如李明展示功夫的具体动作，英国同学的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“节目结束后，李明注意到一些变化发生了。”可知，第二段可需要展示表演后的积极变化，比如同学们对他的态度转变，主动与他交流，邀请他参加活动，课堂上的参与度提高，以及李明自身心态的变化。 2.续写线索：展示功夫——同学反应——赞叹——变化——互相交流——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.提供：offer/provide ②.发现：find/discover ③.邀请：invite/ask 情绪类 ①.热情地：enthusiastically/passionately ②.喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D Alcohol addiction. 5. What prepared Deegan for her bakery business? A. Working previously in the baking industry. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C. Wanting desperately to gain total control. D. Offering baked food out of goodwill. 6. According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business? A. She achieved success through baking. B. She was ambitious about her business. C. She has an open-door employment policy. D. She only hired inexperienced workers. 7. Which of the following best describes Deegan? A. Creative and smart. B. Persistent and receptive. C. Honest and optimistic. D. Kind and easy-going. C Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy. But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilization are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils (化石) has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion: Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature. “Plastic will definitely be a signature ‘techno fossil’ because it is incredibly durable, we are making massive amounts of it, and it gets around the entire globe,” says Sarah Gabbott, a University of Leicester expert on fossils. “So wherever those future civilizations dig, they are going to find plastic.” Clothes will also make an abrupt entry into humanity’s fossil record. Today, the world’s growing population often wears mass-produced synthetic (合成的) clothing that are rapidly dumped and they are not as easily rotted as cotton and silk. “We are making them in ridiculous amounts,” says Gabbott. “We stick them into landfills, which are like giant mummification tombs. It is already clear that much of modern fashion will end up being truly timeless.” Fossils are not just objects left behind, but also the traces of life’s activity written into the rocks. Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near-indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT. Given that similar molecules (分子) produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600 million years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. “And there is the graphite (石墨) used in pencils,” says Gabbott. “It is lovable to think that it may be the drawings of children that may survive best of all: a pencil portrait, perhaps, of a family outside a house, with the sun shining and a rainbow arcing across the sky,” she says jokingly. “The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eye-watering — it’s off the scale,” says Gabbott. All of the stuff made by humans by 1950 was a small part of all the matter on Earth. But today it outweighs all plants and animals. “This raises serious questions for us all,” she says, “Do you need that? Do you really need to buy more?” 8. What does the author think of the legacy mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Troubling. B. Short-lived. C. Technologically weak. D. Environmentally harmless. 9. What can be categorized as techno fossils? A. Dinosaur bones. B. Nuclear waste. C. Cotton clothing. D. Solid landfills. 10. Why is “children’s drawings” mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To highlight human creativity. B. To celebrate modern technology. C. To stress that warmth of life is here to stay. D. To indicate that chemicals could be fossilized. 11. What does the underlined word “eye-watering” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. brain-crashing. B. jaw-dropping. C. tear-jerking. D. heart-sinking. D Many economists predict 2025 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats. The economic uncertainty means that consumers are becoming more discriminating about their purchases, says Ethan Chernofsky, senior vice president of marketing at intelligence platform Placer. ai. “There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries,” he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品). Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well. Additionally, stressed-out shoppers are prioritizing small splurge purchases for wellness and personal care. As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers. Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries — but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats. To get these goods, shoppers are likely to tap into the re-sale market for designer items at a more reasonable price. They want things that make them feel good about themselves — they just want to do it without breaking the bank. 12. What can affordable luxuries be? A. Stylish super cars. B. In-season vegetables. C. High quality eye creams. D. Full-price brand handbags. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The joy businesses offer. B. The strategies retailers use. C. The competition stores face. D. The products consumers buy. 14. What do most shoppers seek according to Ethan? A. Social-media deals. B. World-famous brands. C. Second-hand bargains. D. Budget-friendly pleasures. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A Lipstick Index: Where Does It Lead Us? B. affordable Joy: Will We Fall into The Trap? C. Must-have Treats: A Future Spending Trend D. Little Luxuries: A Driving Force Behind Consumption 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。 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. ___16___ I was not the only one who felt this way. About 50% of the passengers of our expedition had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical the destination is. ___17___ How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The blinding white blankets everything, blurring the boundary between land and ocean. The icy water moves through your body as you take the Polar Plunge. The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. The list goes on. Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. Everything has a purpose, and the cycle of life is evident. You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. ___18___ For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. ___19___ Things move fast here, every month offering something unique and special to see.

When ____36____ (season) tea lovers comment on a cup of tea, they might comment on its qi and yun. In a 2021 paper, Zhang Jinghong notes that in Chinese culture, food and drink are not judged only by taste or smell. When ____37____ (cite) the ancient saying, “Medicine and food have the same origin”, she says that the impact of food and drink on the body remains ____38____ important factor in how Chinese perceive taste and quality. Just to name one example, common food descriptors like “hot” and “cold” do not describe specific temperatures, ____39____ how a dish is perceived to affect a person’s inner temperature. Keeping that ____40____ mind, what exactly do tea lovers mean when they talk about qi and yun? Deng Shihai, an early expert on Pu’er tea, praised its “flavorless flavor” as the highest level Pu’er can attain.

Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the far ____43____ (expand) natural world. As Zhang notes, “Qi and yun ____44____ (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the ____45____ (unit) of people and things, and people and nature.” 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报正在举办题为“An Unforgettable Experience of Labour”的征文大赛。请你写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1．你的劳动经历； 2．你的感受。 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。 An Unforgettable Experience of Labour ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 Li Ming was a 17-year-old exchange student from China. With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn't understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show, Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
