B They got ready for parties and shared countless laughs as freshmen in the dormitories of the University of Maryland.They bonded over being black women at a university where,in 1971,only 4%of the students were black.Friends called the tight-knit group of women Sugar Hill,and the name sustained. But that wasn't the end of the friend group.For the past 50 years,the women have met at least once a year for dinners,sleepovers and vacations.The 16 women of the Sugar Hill Sisterhood,as they now call themselves,have leaned on one another through decades of milestones:weddings and graduations,baby showers and funerals."There's no challenge too big for the sisterhood,says Everene Turner,a member of the team,"I could call in the troops in a minute. Although the bond among them was forged (during college,they've worked hard to stay connected and nurture their relationships.A group chat helps them stay in touch daily,as do phone calls,video chats and remote group activities like a 90-day fitness challenge.They are committed to their annual reunions and have maintained unwavering support for one another. In the late 1970s,one of the group members,Dawkins,whose boyfriend died in a car accident,was mourning the loss when another Sugar Hill sister persuaded Dawkins to live with her.They stayed roommates for the next few years.Dawkins says,"Time and friends are two things that become more valuable the older you get. 英语 第3页（共8页） Their group name has become part of their identity and now extends to family members.The friends support one another's children and grandchildren,and the children of the sisterhood also spend time together."It's a great feeling knowing that we've passed the Sugar Hill legacy to our offspring and they are passing it down to their offspring," Jonetta says.And before Dawkins got married in 1985,Jonetta's husband joked to her fiance that his commitment would extend beyond Dawkins,"Just make sure you want to do this-you're marrying her,but you're marrying 15 other sisters as well." 24.What do we know about the women of the Sugar Hill?

C In Britain,there's a well-known saying:"If you can't say something nice,it is better to say nothing at all."This highlights the importance of being 'nice',which generally means making others feel comfortable and respected.This principle applies across all social classes and levels of wealth,emphasizing that being nice is valued regardless of one's background.It is distinct from manners,formal language,or social etiquette,like holding a fork in the‘correct'hand,For instance,someone might have impeccable(无可挑剔的) manners but still treat others poorly. Politeness is often intertwined with being nice.Common examples include saying “please”and“thank you”,queuing patiently,holding doors open for others,making an effort to converse at social gatherings,and avoiding anger when expressing complaints. The idea is that the problem might not be the fault of the person you're speaking to,so maintaining a calm behavior is preferable. In British culture,if someone doesn't like something,they may avoid bluntly() stating their dislike.Instead of directly saying "I don't like it",they might use more indirect language.Some view this approach as hypocritical()or as a way to sidestep confrontation(),and there is some validity to this perspective.However,the primary reason for this indirectness is to spare the other person's feelings.Being too straightforward can come off as rude or hurtful,which is why being 'blunt'is generally avoided. Here are a few examples of how a British person might gently decline or offer feedback: When asked,"Do you like my new dress?"One might respond,"It's got a very unusual pattern,hasn't it?" If invited to lunch,someone might say,"Sorry,I'm really busy for the next few weeks,"rather than giving a direct refusal. When discussing a book given to them,they might reply,"I've never read anything like it before!"instead of criticizing it outright. While this way of answering might seem unusual,most British people would understand the underlying meaning.They would also appreciate that the response was delivered in a considerate and non-confrontational manner. 28.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one emphasize? A.The importance of always speaking the truth. B.The requirement to hold doors open for others. C.The necessity of using formal language in all situations. D.The value of maintaining social harmony by being considerate. 29.Why do British people often avoid being blunt when expressing their opinions? A.To escape the reality. B.To show their intelligence. C.To demonstrate their politeness. D.To avoid hurting the other person's feelings. 30.Which of the following best describes the British approach to communication? A.It is always direct and to the point. B.It is indirect and aims to avoid conflicts. C.It is primarily focused on personal preferences. D.It is strictly formal and adheres to social etiquette. 31.What could be the most suitable title for the passage? A.Indirectness Over Bluntness B.The Power of Politeness C.Social Harmony in Britain D.Manners and Etiquette 0 A recent experiment on China's space station showed that it's possible to have closed aquatic()ecosystems in space.In this experiment,zebrafish,a small fish, successfully completed their life cycle from growth to reproduction in 43 days. On April 25th,four zebrafish,along with four grams of aquatic plants and three Chinese astronauts,were sent into space on the Shenzhou-18 spacecraft.The goal was to create a closed aquatic ecosystem where plants would produce oxygen through photosynthesis(光合作用)to keep the fish alive.The fish,in turn,would provide nutrients to the plants through their waste.This setup aimed to create an environment where life could be sustained without outside help. Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB)of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)and the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the CAS designed the experiment.They built a fish tank with an advanced recycling system.The zebrafish food was injected into it with a syringe(to keep the ecosystem self-sufficient. The zebrafish,which are about 3 to 5 centimeters long,laid over 300 eggs at a time. Because zebrafish share over 70%of their genes with humans,they are ideal for studying human diseases and developing new drugs.In the microgravity of the space station,the zebrafish exhibited peculiar swimming patterns,including upside-down and spinning. These observations helped researchers understand how vertebrates(脊椎动物)adapt to space conditions. This experiment laid the foundation for future research in aquatic biology and space medicine.It also opened the door to sending more vertebrates into space to study their long-term effects.The water samples collected by the astronauts were brought back to Earth and stored in ultra-low temperature cases for further analysis. The successful creation of a closed aquatic ecosystem on the space station is a big achievement for China's space technology.It advances our understanding of life in space and provides important data and support for future missions.With over 500 labs in China working on zebrafish research,this experiment opens new possibilities in space biology and life sciences. 英语 第5页（共8页） 32.What was the main purpose of the experiment involving zebrafish? A.To see how long zebrafish can survive in space. B.To study the effects of microgravity on human cells. C.To create a self-sustaining aquatic ecosystem in space. D.To test the ability of zebrafish to swim in microgravity. 33.What does the underlined word "it"in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.The tank. B.The food. C.The system. D.The experiment. 34.What did the zebrafish exhibit in the microgravity environment? A.Rapid growth. B.Increased appetite. C.Increased egg production. D.Abnormal swimming behaviors. 35.What can we infer about the experiment from the fifth paragraph? A.It has great significance. B.It involves extensive laboratory analysis. C.The results have been widely applied in daily life. D.It involves cooperation among multiple countries. 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。 Anyone can become a successful runner.Here are some simple but important steps to get started on your way. 36 One of the toughest parts about starting a new running routine is managing your expectations.Before you set out with this new routine,remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.It will take time for your body to adapt to the new demands you're making of it. And let's face it-running makes a lot of demands of your body,from your feet to your ankles,calves,thighs,lungs,heart and mind. Take it Slow Start slow-try to run at a pace where it feels as though you're using 60-percent of your overall energy and ability.Keep that pace throughout your first few runs,though feel free to increase or decrease your speeds if necessary.37 It could lead you to suffer a painful injury that will prevent you from running again for some time. Take Breaks One of the biggest mistakes new runners make is trying to run for a long distance without taking any breaks or beating themselves up for having to take such breaks.In reality,if you're new to running,you're going to have trouble maintaining a strong pace for a lengthy distance or period of time.38.And doing so is just fine. Plan Your Route Ahead of Time 39.So,think carefully about your route before heading out on your run.Be aware of possible obstacles and how you can get around them.Be reasonable with your expectations,but use a distance that will make you feel good about completing your run. Wear the Right Gear New runners often make the mistake of hitting the sidewalk without gearing up with the right equipment.That doesn't mean they should go out and buy expensive running shoes or headphones.40. A.Consider Skipping the Music B.Set Reasonable Expectations for Yourself C.So,it's important to just accept that you will need to take breaks D.In truth,music can help with the running experience by enhancing the runner's mood E.Just don't overdo it on your first few runs,especially if you're new to this exercise F.Instead,new runners should focus on wearing clothing that will keep them comfortable G.New runners sometimes fail to set a route for themselves before heading out the front door 英语 第6页（共8页） 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的 最佳选项。 It was a cool autumn morning.I took a long walk in the local park to enjoy the changing 41.The reds,oranges,and yellows 42 the trees and paths,creating an 43 scene that lifted my spirits.

But last Monday,the evening was quiet,much more different from those of ordinary days.The silence on my street was loud because the sound of the truck didn't happen at all.Sitting by the window,I watched the street,feeling more and more upset with each minute that passed by. While I was waiting anxiously for my meal,I received a message on my phone.The message was very different from how I was feeling."Your meal box has been delivered,"it said,with a map showing it was far from my house.Thinking about my carefully chosen meals on someone else's porch()made me feel like I had lost something important and valuable. I felt annoyed as I called the customer service number.I knew the delivery person had a tough job,but it was hard to accept that my dinner plans were ruined."I'm sorry,sir," the person on the phone said,"the only thing we can do is give you your money back. That didn't make me feel better;I wanted the taste of those meals and the ease they brought.As it got dark,I gave up and looked for something to eat in my empty kitchen. Thinking about my planned dinners now probably being eaten by someone else made me feel heavy inside.I made a simple sandwich in the kitchen.With the light from my TV set, I was about to eat my simple dinner when a knock at the door broke the silence. 注意 .续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Confused,I went to the door.
