And old age is the time of wisdom. But for children who face the monster(恶魔)of cancer, their lives are fast- forwarded into profound wisdom. Not only do they have hand-to-hand struggle with the limits of life, they face it with raw truth1 and courage. For them, life is hard- won yet full of unbelievable hope, and is to be lived to the fullest. We have much to learn from these children. That’s what art therapist(治疗专家), Lisa Murray, believed as she worked to help children with cancer to release their feelings through their drawings, which have turned into a book, Angels & Monsters. Murray found that in their struggle, kids would tell her constantly, “I’m just a regular kid; I just want to play, to go to school, to go outside. . . I just happen to have cancer. ” She was moved and inspired by their simple will to survive. The children were facing the disease head on. She saw some powerful images in their artwork. “What courage it takes to do that, ” said Murray. Murray selected 25 children aged 13 months to 18 years. She asked the four- year-olds and up, “If you could tell the world what it is like to have cancer, what would you say, what would you draw?” For two- to three-year-olds, she asked, “What do you want to tell people about yourself?” And for the youngest, she just took their handprints. “It’s such a human expression, ‘Here’s my mark, ‘” said Murray. She then asked them about their pictures, and wrote down exactly what they said. This gave the artwork a powerful voice. Coupled with Murray’s photographs of the children in the book, the three forms of expression leave both a permanent record and lasting impression with the viewer. As a therapist, Murray doesn’t give the kids the impression that the drawing process is right or wrong. Whatever they draw is unconditionally acceptable. “Children play, they draw, and that’s the natural language of children. That’s why art therapy is so wonderful, ”she said. 4. Why does Murray ask children with cancer to draw pictures? A. To help them to gain wisdom. B. To help them deal with cancer. C. To turn the pictures into a book. D. To let people know more about them. 5. What are “the three forms of expression” about the children? A. Their drawings, their voices and the book. B. Their drawings, their handprints and the book. C. Their drawings, their words and the photos of them. D. Their drawings, Murray’s questions and the children’s answers. 6. What does Murray do in the process of the children drawing pictures? A. She lets them draw whatever they like. B. She teaches them how to draw naturally. C. She gives them advice about what to draw. D. She makes sure what they draw are acceptable. 7. What are children with cancer like in the eyes of Murray? A. They are energetic and active. B. They are wise and hardworking. C. They are courageous and optimistic. D. They are thoughtful and kind-hearted. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍了艺术治疗专家丽莎·默里（Lisa Murray）致力于帮助患有癌症的儿童通过他们的绘画来释放他们的情感，这些绘画已经被写成了一本书《天使与怪物》。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That’s what art therapist(治疗专家), Lisa Murray, believed as she worked to help children with cancer to release their feelings through their drawings……”（这就是艺术治疗专家丽莎·默里在帮助癌症儿童通过绘画释放情感时所相信的。）可知丽莎·默里让患有癌症的孩子画画是为了帮助她们应对癌症。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“She then asked them about their pictures, and wrote down exactly what they said. Coupled with Murray’s photographs of the children in the book, the three forms of expression leave both a permanent record and lasting impression with the viewer.”（然后她问他们关于他们的绘画作品，并准确地写下他们说的话。再加上Murray在书中对孩子们的照片，这三种表现形式给观众留下了永久的记录和持久的印象。）可知绘画，孩子们写的话，以及他们的照片是三种表现形式。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As a therapist, Murray doesn’t give the kids the impression that the drawing process is right or wrong. Whatever they draw is unconditionally acceptable. ”（作为一名治疗师，默里不会给孩子们留下画画过程是对是错的印象。无论他们画什么，都是无条件接受的。）可知在孩子画画过程中，默里让孩子画他们想画的任何事物。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Murray found that in their struggle, kids would tell her constantly, “I’m just a regular kid; I just want to play, to go to school, to go outside. . . I just happen to have cancer. ” ”（默里发现，在他们的挣扎中，孩子们会不断地告诉她，“我只是一个普通的孩子;我只想玩，想上学，想出去……我只是碰巧得了癌症。”）可知，这些患有癌症的孩子很乐观；第五段“She was moved and inspired by their simple will to survive. The children were facing the disease head on. She saw some powerful images in their artwork. “What courage it takes to do that, ” said Murray.”（她被他们求生的朴素意志所感动和鼓舞。孩子们正直面疾病。她在他们的艺术作品中看到了一些强有力的形象。默里说:“这样做需要多大的勇气。）可知，孩子们很勇敢。故选C项。 C At first glance, the relationship between robots and environmental sustainability may not be obvious. The present situation is that the generation of electricity largely relies on unsustainable energy sources and that manufacturing sensors and electronic boards requires the extraction of rare earth materials. Nevertheless, robots also have the potential to help contribute to sustainability goals. Current research on this topic follows two main paths: creating robots that facilitate a more sustainable use of resources and creating robots that are themselves more sustainable. There is reason to hope that robots can help us use resources more efficiently, particularly by addressing labor shortages and skill gaps in certain critical fields. Drones, for instance, can be used to scan a site after destruction to identify waste and reusable materials and sort out debris (碎片). Robots may also ease the automatization of battery recycling, which requires operation of dangerous components. Another path roboticists are pursuing is to reconsider the design of traditional metal-based, electricity-hungry robots. Biodegradable sensors or robots made of edible (可食用的) materials are potentially interesting solutions to robotic waste. Additionally, ensuring that the same robot can be used for decades is another way to achieve more sustainable consumption and production of robotics. This requires robots to be easily repurposed. As robots are used outdoors, they will unavoidably sustain damage. Robots that can self-heal or recover function, even with a broken limb, will stand better chances. Both hardware and software will likewise need to be transferable and reusable to reduce disuse and enable the integration of new sensing technologies. Despite tremendous innovation in sustainable robotic designs, it may take more time than we have for the prototypes (原型) discussed above to become commercially available products. A major challenge is weighing their “grey energy” (the energy to build robots) against environmental benefits. For example, using robots to install solar panels shouldn’t require more resources than the energy savings the panels ultimately provide. As AI integration accelerates, finding the right balance between technology progress and environmental responsibility remains urgent but achievable. 8. What do we know about the current production of robots? A. It makes use of recyclable components. B. It aims to use renewable energy and reduce costs. C. It relies on non-renewable resources and rare materials. D. It focuses on resource-efficient and self-sustainable robots. 9. Why is battery recycling mentioned? A. To criticize traditional recycling methods. B. To compare robots’ efficiency with human labor. C. To highlight the complexity of recycling process. D. To emphasize robots' ability to handle risky tasks. 10. What strategy is proposed according to Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4? A. Adopting sustainable materials. B. Expanding metal-based designs. C. Promoting disposable components. D. Avoiding damage to robots outdoors. 11. What does the author think of robots’ environmental potential? A. Limited by costs. B. Dependent on policies. C. Unclear in direction. D. Promising despite challenges. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨机器人与环境可持续性的关系，介绍当前机器人在资源高效利用和自身可持续设计上的研究路径，以及面临的挑战与前景。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The present situation is that the generation of electricity largely relies on unsustainable energy sources and that manufacturing sensors and electronic boards requires the extraction of rare earth materials.(目前的状况是，发电在很大程度上依赖不可持续的能源，而制造传感器和电子板则需要开采稀土材料。)”可知，当前机器人生产依赖不可再生能源和稀土材料。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Robots may also ease the automatization of battery recycling, which requires operation of dangerous components.(机器人还可能促进电池回收的自动化，这一过程需要操作危险部件。)”可知，机器人可以自动化电池回收，而这一过程涉及危险操作，因此作者提到电池回收是为了强调机器人处理高风险任务的能力。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Biodegradable sensors or robots made of edible materials are potentially interesting solutions to robotic waste.(可生物降解的传感器或由可食用材料制成的机器人可能是解决机器人废弃物问题的有趣方案。)”可知，第三段提到了使用可降解或可食用材料，结合第四段中的“Robots that can self-heal or recover function, even with a broken limb, will stand better chances. Both hardware and software will likewise need to be transferable and reusable to reduce disuse and enable the integration of new sensing technologies.(即使肢体受损也能自我修复或恢复功能的机器人将具有更大的优势。硬件和软件同样需要具备可转移性和可重复使用性，以减少废弃，同时支持新传感技术的集成。)”可知，第四段强调机器人的自我修复和可重复利用性，均围绕可持续材料和技术展开。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文和最后一段“Despite tremendous innovation in sustainable robotic designs, it may take more time than we have for the prototypes discussed above to become commercially available products. A major challenge is weighing their “grey energy” (the energy to build robots) against environmental benefits.(尽管在可持续机器人设计方面取得了巨大创新，但上述原型要成为商业化产品可能需要比我们拥有的时间更长。一个主要挑战是权衡其“灰色能源”（即制造机器人所需的能源）与环境效益之间的利弊。)”以及“As AI integration accelerates, finding the right balance between technology progress and environmental responsibility remains urgent but achievable.(随着人工智能的加速融合，找到技术进步与环境责任之间的恰当平衡，仍然是紧迫但可实现的目标。)”可知，文章先指出机器人制造的环保问题，随后重点讨论其促进可持续发展的潜力，最后一段承认挑战但仍持乐观态度，因此作者认为尽管有挑战，机器人的环保潜力仍值得期待。故选D。 D In today’s interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for fostering international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps. The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian’s Wall — a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe’s but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robes (长袍) during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraced literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression. However, navigating cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prioritize building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68 % of cross-Atlantic negotiations face delays due to these contrasting styles. Americans may interpret British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals. Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like “I’ll consider it” in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U. S. But may be viewed as aggressive in some British contexts. To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as “Global Communication Strategies,” where students role-play negotiation scene’s and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy, active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences. As globalization continued to erase borders, mastering these skills becomes not just beneficial but essential for building a more inclusive world. 12. What can be known about the purpose of the Romans building Hadrian’s Wall? A. To establish trade routed with Celtic tribes. B. To mark the southern border of the Roman Empire. C. To showcase advanced architectural skills. D. To manage conflicts and control territory. 13. What can be inferred about British and American negotiation style from Paragraph 3? A. Their differences may lead to misunderstandings. B. They both value long-term relationships equally. C. Americans prefer indirect communication. D. British negotiators focus on short-term gains. 14. What does the word “impersonal” mean in the context of American negotiators? A. Friendly and emotional. B. Aggressive and rude. C. Emotionally distant and formal. D. Humorous and casual. 15. What might the author discuss next regarding cross-cultural communication training? A. The history of Roman education systems. B. Specific methods used in university coursed. C. How technology replaces traditional teaching. D. Economic costs of cultural misunderstandings. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文以英国为例，探讨了跨文化沟通的历史根基与现代挑战，包括传统与现代价值观的融合、国际谈判中的文化误解及语言差异，并强调通过教育培养文化敏感性的重要性。文章指出，在全球化时代，理解并适应文化差异是促进国际合作与社会和谐的关键。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian’s Wall — a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. (公元前55年，当罗马人入侵不列颠时，他们不仅建立了管理系统，还建造了公路和哈德良长城等公共设施——哈德良长城是一座标志着他们帝国北部边界的大型防御建筑)”可知，哈德良长城是一座防御建筑，用来标记罗马帝国的北部边界。因此，可以推断出建造哈德良长城的目的是为了管理冲突和控制领土。D选项“To manage conflicts and control territory. (为了管理冲突和控制领土)”符合题意。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, navigating cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prioritize building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. (然而，应对文化差异仍然具有挑战性。在国际商务环境中，英国专业人士通常通过间接沟通和茶歇闲聊来优先建立信任，而他们的美国同行则更喜欢直截了当的讨论，以直奔主题。)”可知，此处明确提到了英国和美国在谈判风格上的差异。同时本段中“Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68% of cross-Atlantic negotiations face delays due to these contrasting styles. (伦敦商学院(2022年)的研究显示，由于这些截然不同的风格，68%的跨大西洋谈判面临延误)”说明这些差异谈判风格可能导致误解和延误。因此，可以推断出A选项 “Their differences may lead to misunderstandings. (他们的差异可能导致误解) ”符合题意。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中“Americans may interpret British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals. (美国人可能会把英国人的礼貌解释为犹豫不决，而英国人则认为美国人的直截了当是……和过于专注于生意) ”可知，这里提到了英国人对美国人直截了当的看法是“impersonal”，并且与“overly focused only on business deals”并列，即英国人则认为美国人的过于专注于生意，这种直截了当使情感上疏远，而且过于正式的即不近人情的。选项C“Emotionally distant and formal. (情感上疏远和正式的)”与划线词为同义词。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as ‘Global Communication Strategies,’ where students role-play negotiation scenes and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. (为了解决这些挑战，教育机构发挥着关键作用。牛津和剑桥等大学现在提供‘全球沟通策略’等课程，学生可以在其中扮演谈判场景并分析跨国公司的案例研究)”这里提到了大学提供的跨文化交流培训课程，并举例说明了课程的内容。因此，可以推断出作者接下来可能会讨论这些课程中使用的具体方法。选项B“Specific methods used in university courses. (大学课程中使用的具体方法) ”符合题意。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____16____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____17____ Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____18____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. ____19____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____20____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless. A. Let yourself feel. B. Context matters as well. C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. D. These shape how you stop and interpret. E. Pay attention to how words flow together. F. The poem’s background determines the style. G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了欣赏诗歌的方法。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.(这首诗的节奏是加快还是放慢？这些变化往往反映了它的主题)” 可知，引出后文关于诗歌节奏变化的内容，因为单词组合流动的方式决定节奏，节奏变化又反映主题。E选项“注意单词是如何组合在一起流动的” 符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization.(它们的形式，包括押韵方案、诗节划分和行长，都有助于表达意义。结构严谨的诗歌可能唤起秩序感，而破碎的诗句可能反映混乱。不要忽视标点符号或大写字母)” 可知，承接前文，说明诗歌形式中的元素以及标点产生的影响。D选项“这些决定了你如何停顿和解读” 符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention.(理解 “讲述者” 可以阐明诗歌的意图)” 及“Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.(历史事件、个人经历或文化符号可能会影响它的意义)” 可知，承上启下，引出后文关于诗歌背景对其意义产生影响的内容，说明除了理解讲述者，背景对理解诗歌也很关键。B选项“背景也很重要” 符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 此空为段落小标题。根据下文“Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity—is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.(诗歌基于情感，没有“正确”的解读。你的反应 —— 无论是喜悦、悲伤还是好奇 —— 都是可以接受的。重新审视这首诗：每次阅读，其含义往往会发生变化。记录下它引发的问题，如果感兴趣，研究不熟悉的典故)” 可知，选项强调欣赏诗歌要跟随自己的情感，引出后文关于情感反应及重新审视诗歌等内容。A选项“让自己去感受” 符合语境，作为小标题概括该段内容，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.(相反，它是关于欣赏声音、意象和思想的相互作用，使诗歌永恒)” 可知，选项引出后文对欣赏诗歌真正意义的阐述，通过对比说明欣赏诗歌并非追求唯一正确答案，而是感受其各元素的相互作用。故G选项“这不像解开一个“秘密密码”” 符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.

I was eager to find a way to stop them. If you’ve been through this, I can feel your silent nod; for those who haven’t, let me tell you, it’s truly painful. I had exhausted all possibilities. Sadly, none provided a lasting relief for my tormenting pain. In my desperation, my dad suggested I try acupuncture (针灸), something he once underwent in Hong Kong. It had relieved his backache when nothing else worked. I was unfamiliar with acupuncture and hadn’t tried out traditional Chinese medicine before. With my heart set on previous failures I embarked on this acupuncture journey, ending up in a middle-aged lady’s clinic filled with Chinese herbs. Once I settled on the patient's chair, she inquired about my reason for visiting. After that, she placed three fingers on my wrist and silently checked my pulse. She then led me to a room and instructed me to lie down. Moments later, she took out needles, which made me anxious because I'm not comfortable with sharp objects. The initial acupuncture session was a real surprise. To treat my headaches, the needles were first placed on the back of my hand, far from my head. The sensation was unexpected too: as the practitioner gently tapped and turned the needle in, I didn’t feel the needle but a wave spreading through my body. She then continued with more needles all over: my head, face, stomach, legs, arms, and even toes. The entire session lasted just 20 minutes. Following that, she prescribed some herbal tea for me to drink daily for five days. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I started acupuncture treatments, I was a bit nervous. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Over time, I noticed a big difference in my headaches. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As I started acupuncture treatments, I was a bit nervous. Every time I lay on that chair, I couldn't help but tense up, imagining the discomfort. But as the sessions went on, I gradually relaxed. The middle-aged lady was always gentle and reassuring. She would explain each step and tell me about the benefits. With her kind words and professional manner, I began to have faith in the treatment. Over time, I noticed a big difference in my headaches. They became less frequent and the intensity reduced. I no longer felt that urge to bang my head. The herbal tea she prescribed also seemed to have a positive effect. I felt more energetic and my overall well-being improved. I was grateful to my dad for suggesting acupuncture and to the lady for her expertise. It was a wonderful experience that changed my perspective on traditional Chinese medicine. I realized that sometimes, ancient wisdom holds solutions that modern medicine might overlook. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因频繁头痛而尝试各种方法无果后，最终通过针灸治疗得到缓解和改善的亲身经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我开始接受针灸治疗时，我有点紧张。”以及第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，我注意到我的头痛有了很大的改善。”可知，第一段可描写作者开始针灸后慢慢放松下来。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，我注意到我的头痛有了很大的改善。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现自己的头痛得到了缓解，作者也开始改变了自己对中医的看法。 2.续写线索：一开始针灸的时候，作者有点紧张——但是随着治疗的进行，作者开始放松——那位女士一边给作者针灸一边开始解释——随着时间的推移，作者发现自己的头痛有了改善——作者的身体状况也有所改善——这一次经历彻底改变了作者对中医的看法 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①相信：have faith in/believe/trust ②提升：improve/enhance ③忽视：overlook/ignore 情绪类 ①积极的：positive/optimistic ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】But as the sessions went on, I gradually relaxed.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】I realized that sometimes, ancient wisdom holds solutions that modern medicine might overlook.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2023级入学摸底测试 英语 本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共150分。 考试时间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.

But for children who face the monster(恶魔)of cancer, their lives are fast- forwarded into profound wisdom. Not only do they have hand-to-hand struggle with the limits of life, they face it with raw truth1 and courage. For them, life is hard- won yet full of unbelievable hope, and is to be lived to the fullest. We have much to learn from these children. That’s what art therapist(治疗专家), Lisa Murray, believed as she worked to help children with cancer to release their feelings through their drawings, which have turned into a book, Angels & Monsters. Murray found that in their struggle, kids would tell her constantly, “I’m just a regular kid; I just want to play, to go to school, to go outside. . . I just happen to have cancer. ” She was moved and inspired by their simple will to survive. The children were facing the disease head on. She saw some powerful images in their artwork. “What courage it takes to do that, ” said Murray. Murray selected 25 children aged 13 months to 18 years. She asked the four- year-olds and up, “If you could tell the world what it is like to have cancer, what would you say, what would you draw?” For two- to three-year-olds, she asked, “What do you want to tell people about yourself?” And for the youngest, she just took their handprints. “It’s such a human expression, ‘Here’s my mark, ‘” said Murray. She then asked them about their pictures, and wrote down exactly what they said. This gave the artwork a powerful voice. Coupled with Murray’s photographs of the children in the book, the three forms of expression leave both a permanent record and lasting impression with the viewer. As a therapist, Murray doesn’t give the kids the impression that the drawing process is right or wrong. Whatever they draw is unconditionally acceptable. “Children play, they draw, and that’s the natural language of children. That’s why art therapy is so wonderful, ”she said. 4. Why does Murray ask children with cancer to draw pictures? A. To help them to gain wisdom. B. To help them deal with cancer. C. To turn the pictures into a book. D. To let people know more about them. 5. What are “the three forms of expression” about the children? A. Their drawings, their voices and the book. B. Their drawings, their handprints and the book. C. Their drawings, their words and the photos of them. D. Their drawings, Murray’s questions and the children’s answers. 6. What does Murray do in the process of the children drawing pictures? A. She lets them draw whatever they like. B. She teaches them how to draw naturally. C. She gives them advice about what to draw. D. She makes sure what they draw are acceptable. 7. What are children with cancer like in the eyes of Murray? A. They are energetic and active. B. They are wise and hardworking. C. They are courageous and optimistic. D. They are thoughtful and kind-hearted. C At first glance, the relationship between robots and environmental sustainability may not be obvious. The present situation is that the generation of electricity largely relies on unsustainable energy sources and that manufacturing sensors and electronic boards requires the extraction of rare earth materials. Nevertheless, robots also have the potential to help contribute to sustainability goals. Current research on this topic follows two main paths: creating robots that facilitate a more sustainable use of resources and creating robots that are themselves more sustainable. There is reason to hope that robots can help us use resources more efficiently, particularly by addressing labor shortages and skill gaps in certain critical fields. Drones, for instance, can be used to scan a site after destruction to identify waste and reusable materials and sort out debris (碎片). Robots may also ease the automatization of battery recycling, which requires operation of dangerous components. Another path roboticists are pursuing is to reconsider the design of traditional metal-based, electricity-hungry robots. Biodegradable sensors or robots made of edible (可食用的) materials are potentially interesting solutions to robotic waste. Additionally, ensuring that the same robot can be used for decades is another way to achieve more sustainable consumption and production of robotics. This requires robots to be easily repurposed. As robots are used outdoors, they will unavoidably sustain damage. Robots that can self-heal or recover function, even with a broken limb, will stand better chances. Both hardware and software will likewise need to be transferable and reusable to reduce disuse and enable the integration of new sensing technologies. Despite tremendous innovation in sustainable robotic designs, it may take more time than we have for the prototypes (原型) discussed above to become commercially available products. A major challenge is weighing their “grey energy” (the energy to build robots) against environmental benefits. For example, using robots to install solar panels shouldn’t require more resources than the energy savings the panels ultimately provide. As AI integration accelerates, finding the right balance between technology progress and environmental responsibility remains urgent but achievable. 8. What do we know about the current production of robots? A. It makes use of recyclable components. B. It aims to use renewable energy and reduce costs. C. It relies on non-renewable resources and rare materials. D. It focuses on resource-efficient and self-sustainable robots. 9. Why is battery recycling mentioned? A. To criticize traditional recycling methods. B. To compare robots’ efficiency with human labor. C. To highlight the complexity of recycling process. D. To emphasize robots' ability to handle risky tasks. 10. What strategy is proposed according to Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4? A. Adopting sustainable materials. B. Expanding metal-based designs. C. Promoting disposable components. D. Avoiding damage to robots outdoors. 11. What does the author think of robots’ environmental potential? A. Limited by costs. B. Dependent on policies. C. Unclear in direction. D. Promising despite challenges. D In today’s interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for fostering international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps. The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian’s Wall — a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe’s but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robes (长袍) during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraced literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression. However, navigating cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prioritize building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68 % of cross-Atlantic negotiations face delays due to these contrasting styles. Americans may interpret British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overly focused only on business deals. Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like “I’ll consider it” in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U. S. But may be viewed as aggressive in some British contexts. To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as “Global Communication Strategies,” where students role-play negotiation scene’s and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy, active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences.

Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____16____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____17____ Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____18____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. ____19____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____20____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless. A Let yourself feel. B. Context matters as well. C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. D. These shape how you stop and interpret. E. Pay attention to how words flow together. F. The poem’s background determines the style. G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”. 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。 Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.

I was eager to find a way to stop them. If you’ve been through this, I can feel your silent nod; for those who haven’t, let me tell you, it’s truly painful. I had exhausted all possibilities. Sadly, none provided a lasting relief for my tormenting pain. In my desperation, my dad suggested I try acupuncture (针灸), something he once underwent in Hong Kong. It had relieved his backache when nothing else worked. I was unfamiliar with acupuncture and hadn’t tried out traditional Chinese medicine before. With my heart set on previous failures, I embarked on this acupuncture journey, ending up in a middle-aged lady’s clinic filled with Chinese herbs. Once I settled on the patient's chair, she inquired about my reason for visiting. After that, she placed three fingers on my wrist and silently checked my pulse. She then led me to a room and instructed me to lie down. Moments later, she took out needles, which made me anxious because I'm not comfortable with sharp objects. The initial acupuncture session was a real surprise. To treat my headaches, the needles were first placed on the back of my hand, far from my head. The sensation was unexpected too: as the practitioner gently tapped and turned the needle in, I didn’t feel the needle but a wave spreading through my body. She then continued with more needles all over: my head, face, stomach, legs, arms, and even toes. The entire session lasted just 20 minutes. Following that, she prescribed some herbal tea for me to drink daily for five days. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I started acupuncture treatments, I was a bit nervous. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Over time, I noticed a big difference in my headaches. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
