Assess Whether You Can Handle It Responsible owners always start by assessing whether they are ready—financially, physically, and emotionally—to be their pet’s NO.1 bottom line: Make sure you can really afford a dog, or an unfortunate event may put you, your dog, and your doctor in a heartbreaking situation. A 2021 survey done by the government revealed that just under half (45%) of pet owners did not have enough cash on hand to pay for a $1,000 emergency pet bill. This is concerning, but a pet insurance is an option. Keep in mind that you’ll be paying this monthly money for it. Research What Types Are Best for You Dogs vary widely in size nature, intelligence, tolerance of children or other pets, space needs and barking levels, and human owner situations vary as well. For example, maybe a Dachshund dog’s brown eyes have stolen your heart—but will your neighbors complain when your little watchdog barks every time a door shuts or a vehicle approaches? Assess your situation and look for a perfect companion who will fit in. The Essentials: At the bare minimum, all dogs need food and water bowls, a collar, and a lead. Ask the shelter for recommendations and determine what you can afford to spend each month. Do the research—there are endless food options in the pet marketplace, from budget-friendly kibble (粗磨饲料) to expensive, specific uncooked food subscriptions. Other Items You’ll Need: Healthy treats for training Comfortable bed for rest Breed-appropriate toys Chews and no-chew medicine Essential to Do: Make an appointment with a doctor right away. Get recommendations for a good dog training class. Ask a friend or family member to be your go-to in case of emergency. 1. Which of the following is a choice to help afford a dog? A. Government’s relief. B. An emergency fund. C. A hospital’s policy. D. A dog insurance. 2. What should you do when choosing a suitable type? A. Evaluate your situation. B. Consider children’s needs. C. Go to see a pet doctor. D. Listen to friends’ advice. 3. Where is the text probably from? A. A science magazine. B. A shopping program. C. A shelter website. D. A wildlife newspaper. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章为想要领养狗的人提供了一份全面的指南。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“A 2021 survey done by the government revealed that just under half (45%) of pet owners did not have enough cash on hand to pay for a $1,000 emergency pet bill. This is concerning, but a pet insurance is an option.(政府2021年调查显示，近半数(45%)宠物主人无法立即支付1000美元的突发宠物医疗账单。这一数据令人担忧，而宠物保险不失为应对之策。)”可知，宠物保险是一个帮助负担养狗费用的选择。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Dogs vary widely in size, nature, intelligence, tolerance of children or other pets, space needs and barking levels, and human owner situations vary as well. For example, maybe a Dachshund dog’s brown eyes have stolen your heart—but will your neighbors complain when your little watchdog barks every time a door shuts or a vehicle approaches? Assess your situation and look for a perfect companion who will fit in.(狗在体型、性格、智力、对孩子的容忍度或对其他宠物的相处能力、空间需求以及吠叫频率方面差异很大，而人类主人的情况也各不相同。例如，也许一只腊肠犬的棕色眼睛已经俘获了你的心——但当这只小看门狗每次听到门关上或有车辆靠近就吠叫时，你的邻居会抱怨吗？评估你的情况，寻找一个能够融入你生活的完美伴侣。)”可知，在选择合适的狗时，应该评估自己的情况。故选A项。 3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“Adopting a Dog? Here’s What to Do.(领养狗狗？这样做就对了！)”和文章内容可知，文章提供了关于领养狗建议，包括评估是否能负担得起、选择合适的狗品种、必备用品和需要做的事情，这些内容通常出现在动物收容所的网站上。故选C项。 B Sixteen-year-old Emma stared at the block of clay turning wildly on the potter’s wheel, her shaking hands holding in a circle inches above it. The psychologist had suggested pottery class to calm her panic attacks, but all she felt was depression. “Breathe with the rhythm,” her instructor Mr. Hayes reminded her gently, during which the day her childhood piano had been sold to pay medical bills remained. Since her mother’s cancer was found two years earlier, Emma had hidden herself in a shadow. She quit the school orchestra (管弦乐队), avoided friends, and memorized hospital passageway patterns like sheet music. What she merely trusted was the steady sound of heart monitors. But when her art teacher discovered she drew complicated patterns casually during free periods, she handed Emma a pottery class brochure: “Clay doesn’t judge.” The first month was disastrous. While classmates shaped elegant vases, Emma’s creations collapsed into strange shapes. “Stop forcing control,” Mr. Hayes advised, placing her hands on cool clay. “Let the material speak.” That night, she dreamed of her mother’s hands guiding hers. Waking in tears, Emma returned to the studio at dawn, answering the “call” of clay, which perhaps was her rescuer. Breakthrough came unexpectedly. During a panic episode, Emma unconsciously grabbed raw clay. As she created its delicate surface, her racing thoughts slowed. The next day, she presented a sculpture titled Broken Harmony — a broken bowl with gold decoration flowing through its breaks. The art gallery manager remarked surprisingly, “You’ve grasped kintsugi (金缮工艺), the art of accepting imperfections!” Soon, Emma’s works became healing tools for hospital patients. On the final day of her mother’s chemical treatment for cancer, she placed a kintsugi-inspired music box by her mother’s bedside. Its tiny piano played the music they’d composed together, proving that brokenness could give birth to new beauty. 4. Why did Emma start pottery classes? A. To help manage her anxiety. B. To obtain an art credit. C. To obey her mother’s wish. D. To take up a new hobby. 5. Which best describes Emma’s personal growth? A. Active. B. Passive. C. Determined. D. Ambitious. 6. What does the music box symbolize? A. Childhood homesickness. B. Medical science’s limitations. C. The regret for the loss of memories. D. Reconnection through shared creativity. 7. What core message does the text convey? A. Artistic talent emerges in unexpected ways. B. Traditional crafts require technical precision. C. Family illness strengthens parent-child bonds. D. Healing can arise from accepting imperfection. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Emma患上了惊恐症，通过陶艺疗法逐渐找到了自我，恢复了正常生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。据第一段的句子“The psychologist had suggested pottery class to calm her panic attacks(心理学家建议她上陶艺课来缓解惊恐症)”可知，Emma开始上陶艺课是为了帮助管理她的焦虑。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“The first month was disastrous. While classmates shaped elegant vases, Emma’s creations collapsed into strange shapes.(第一个月是灾难性的。当同学们塑造优雅的花瓶时，Emma的作品坍塌成奇怪的形状)”，第四段“Breakthrough came unexpectedly. During a panic episode, Emma unconsciously grabbed raw clay. As she created its delicate surface, her racing thoughts slowed. The next day, she presented a sculpture titled Broken Harmony — a broken bowl with gold decoration flowing through its breaks. The art gallery manager remarked surprisingly, “You’ve grasped kintsugi (金缮工艺), the art of accepting imperfections!”(突破出乎意料地到来了。在一次恐慌中，Emma不自觉地抓住了生粘土。当她创造精致的表面时，她的思绪减慢了。第二天，她展示了一件名为“破碎的和谐”的雕塑——一个破碎的碗，金饰从碗的缝隙中流淌出来。画廊经理惊讶地说：“你掌握了金缮工艺，一种接受不完美的艺术！”)”和第五段的句子“Soon, Emma’s works became healing tools for hospital patients.(很快，Emma的作品成为医院病人的治疗工具)”可知，Emma在陶艺课上经历了从失败到突破的过程，她的成长是坚定的，因为她是在经历了多次失败和情绪低落后逐渐找到自己的艺术表达方式。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“On the final day of her mother’s chemical treatment on cancer, she placed a kintsugi-inspired music box by her mother’s bedside. Its tiny piano played the music they’d composed together, proving that brokenness could give birth to new beauty.(在她母亲接受癌症化疗的最后一天，她把一个金缮风格的音乐盒放在母亲床边。小小的钢琴演奏着他们共同创作的音乐，证明了破碎也能产生新的美)”可知，音乐盒象征着通过共同的创造力重新建立联系。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第四段的句子“You’ve grasped kintsugi (金缮工艺), the art of accepting imperfections!(你已经掌握了金缮工艺 —— 接受不完美的艺术！)”以及最后一段的句子“Its tiny piano played the music they’d composed together, proving that brokenness could give birth to new beauty.(小小的钢琴演奏着他们共同创作的音乐，证明了破碎也能产生新的美)”可知，全文通过陶艺修复隐喻，体现了“接纳不完美实现自我疗愈”的核心主题。故选D项。 C Until a few weeks ago, I relied on restaurant hygiene (卫生) ratings. The score ranges from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates urgent improvement is required. Yet, the BBC revealed some businesses misrepresent their hygiene scores, posting a 5 when their ratings are as low as 0. The signal of hygiene I relied on wasn’t always reliable. This incident represents something older: Deception (欺骗) through misrepresentation gradually weakens trust. As with any social behavior, when ill behaviors are successful, they tend to spread, because people copy behaviors associated with success. Over time, this may harm the shared signals on which society depends. Research in biology and sociology highlights how. Animals signal information to others about themselves, but some animals cheat. Cuckoo chicks, for instance, model after the sound of the young of other birds to trick adult birds into feeding them. Among humans, technological improvements allow us to misrepresent our intentions and identities in many ways. This can include pretending who we are in digital interactions by stealing from people online without ever meeting them. We share a lot of qualities with cuckoos: Anyone can be anyone in the digital age. Luckily for us, we have found ways to solve problems with trust throughout our history. We learn to recognize patterns of behavior indicative of deception, and just as the tricks for deception spread, so do the methods for detecting it, whether those involve passwords, face or voice recognition, or any of the new technologies being developed. We have accordingly established laws that fine or punish lawbreakers or wrongdoers. What matters for maintaining trust is the reliability of the signals we use in communication. What we need is a mechanism for determining reliability: Whether people or places can be trusted to do what we expect of them. This is done both through effective policing and through educating ourselves about how to avoid unreliable people, places and things. If I can trust that hygiene ratings are reliable, then I can use the score as a signal to drive my behavior. 8. What does the underlined phrase “the shared signals” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Social reforms. B. Agreed beliefs. C. Copied behaviors. D. Accurate representations. 9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning cuckoo chicks? A. To illustrate a deception in nature. B. To put biological research into use. C. To give an example of animals’ feeding. D. To compare the behaviors of different birds. 10. Why do we need a system according to paragraph 5? A. To educate the public. B. To drive people’s action. C. To conduct effective policing. D. To guarantee trustworthiness. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Wearing Away of Trust B. What Technologies Rid Us of C. The Cruel Fact of the Hygiene D. Where the Missing Signal Escapes 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了通过误导来产生的欺骗可能产生信任危机，并提出了一些切实有效的方式。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The signal of hygiene I relied on wasn’t always reliable.(我所依赖的卫生信号并不总是可靠的)”和第二段“This incident represents something older: Deception (欺骗) through misrepresentation gradually weakens trust. As with any social behavior, when ill behaviors are successful, they tend to spread, because people copy behaviors associated with success. Over time, this may harm the shared signals on which society depends.(这一事件代表了一种更古老的东西：通过虚假陈述进行的欺骗逐渐削弱了信任。与任何社会行为一样，当不良行为成功时，它们往往会传播，因为人们会模仿与成功相关的行为。随着时间的推移，这可能会损害社会所依赖的shared signals)”可推知，这里“shared signals”指社会中人们普遍认可、共同依赖的信任依据（如卫生评级本应是大家公认的卫生判断标准），即“约定俗成的信念”，与“Agreed beliefs”含义一致。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Animals signal information to others about themselves, but some animals cheat. Cuckoo chicks, for instance, model after the sound of the young of other birds to trick adult birds into feeding them. (动物会向其他动物传递关于自身的信号，但有些动物会欺骗。例如，布谷鸟雏鸟会模仿其他鸟类雏鸟的叫声，欺骗成年鸟类给它们喂食)”可推知，作者提及布谷鸟雏鸟是为了举例说明自然界中存在的欺骗行为，佐证前文“有些动物会通过虚假信号欺骗他人”的观点。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“What matters for maintaining trust is the reliability of the signals we use in communication. What we need is a mechanism for determining reliability: Whether people or places can be trusted to do what we expect of them. (维持信任的关键在于我们在沟通中使用的信号的可靠性。我们需要的是一种判断可靠性的机制：判断人或地方是否能如我们期望的那样值得信任)”可知，我们需要这样的机制是为了确保信号的可靠性，进而保障信任，即“保证可信赖性”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中“Deception (欺骗) through misrepresentation gradually weakens trust. (通过虚假陈述进行欺骗会逐渐削弱信任)”及全文围绕“信任被破坏与如何维护信任”的阐述可知，文章以餐厅卫生评级虚假为例，引出“虚假陈述会削弱信任”的核心观点，接着从自然界和人类社会（数字时代）举例说明欺骗行为的存在，最后提出通过识别欺骗模式、技术检测和法律制裁等方式维护信任。所以A项“The Wearing Away of Trust(信任的消磨)”能概括文章主旨，是文章的最佳标题。故选A项。 D Humans consider complex math a sign of high intelligence. But research shows much smaller-brained creatures, like honeybees, also have impressive number skills and can even do basic arithmetic (算术). This challenges old ideas about what’s needed for math and suggests basic number abilities might be common in the animal kingdom. Scientists study bee math using lab tests. In one study, bees flew through a Y-shaped puzzle. They saw a sample stimulus showing a number of shapes (e.g. three blue circles) at the start. Inside, they chose between two paths: one leading to the same number of shapes, the other to a different number. A sugar reward was always given for choosing the matching number. Bees learned to pick the correct path well above random chance, proving they recognize and match specific quantities. Researchers then tested addition and subtraction (减法). Bees were trained in a similar puzzle. First, they saw a starting number (e. g. one shape). Then, they entered a room and saw either one shape added or one shape taken away. Finally, they chose between two options: the correct result (e g. two after adding, zero after taking away) or an opposite one. After training, bees correctly chose the outcome of +1 or -1 operations with a probability of about 60-70%. This showed they weren’t just remembering pictures, but actually performing a thinking process with numbers. How do they do this with such tiny brains? A bee’s brain has under a million nerve cells, far fewer than humans. Neuroscientists think they use highly efficient pathways for vision and pattern spotting. Bees likely use continuous features like the total area or outline length of shapes to estimate numbers, a strategy called using “numerical magnitude (数值大小)”. However, their success with arithmetic, needing more than just comparing sizes, points to a surprisingly complex mini-mind. This efficiency offers useful ideas for artificial intelligence, showing how complex tasks might need less computing power. These findings make us rethink the difference between natural instinct and learned thinking, showing complex problem-solving can happen in brains very different from ours. 12. How were bees trained to recognize quantities in paragraph 2? A. By counting circles in different colors. B. By comparing quantities at two choice points. C. By associating shapes with sugar rewards in a puzzle. D. By matching sample numbers to correct paths for rewards. 13. What is the significance of bees’ success in arithmetic tasks? A. It shows their abilities rely merely on instinct, not learning. B. It proves bees can communicate numerical concepts to humans. C. It suggests they process numbers beyond simple visual comparisons. D. It indicates their brains have more nerve cells than previously thought. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards bees’ mathematical abilities? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive. 15. What is the main conclusion drawn from bee studies? A. AI should copy insect brain structures. B. Human-like reasoning requires large brains. C. Animal intelligence is limited to basic instincts. D. Mathematical ability may be widespread in nature. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对蜜蜂的数学能力的研究，颠覆了传统对智力的认知。蜜蜂不足百万的神经元展现出惊人的计算效率。这一发现不仅重新定义了动物智力，还为人工智能的优化提供了生物启发。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In one study, bees flew through a Y-shaped puzzle. They saw a sample stimulus showing a number of shapes (e.g. three blue circles) at the start. Inside, they chose between two paths: one leading to the same number of shapes, the other to a different number. A sugar reward was always given for choosing the matching number. Bees learned to pick the correct path well above random chance, proving they recognize and match specific quantities. (在一项研究中，蜜蜂飞过一个Y形迷宫。一开始，它们看到一个样本刺激物，上面显示了一些形状（例如三个蓝色圆圈）。在迷宫里面，它们要在两条路径中做出选择：一条路径通向相同数量的形状，另一条路径通向不同数量的形状。选择与样本数量匹配的路径，蜜蜂总能得到糖（作为）奖励。蜜蜂学会选择正确路径的概率远高于随机选择，这证明它们能够识别并匹配特定的数量)”可知，蜜蜂是通过将样本数量与能获得奖励的正确路径相匹配来接受训练以识别数量的。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“After training, bees correctly chose the outcome of +1 or -1 operations with a probability of about 60-70%. This showed they weren’t just remembering pictures, but actually performing a thinking process with numbers. (经过训练后，蜜蜂在大约60 — 70%的概率下能正确选择+1或-1运算的结果。这表明它们不仅仅是在记住图片，实际上是在对数字进行思考过程)”可知，蜜蜂在算术任务上的成功表明它们对数字的处理超出了简单的视觉比较。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, their success with arithmetic, needing more than just comparing sizes, points to a surprisingly complex mini-mind. This efficiency offers useful ideas for artificial intelligence, showing how complex tasks might need less computing power. These findings make us rethink the difference between natural instinct and learned thinking, showing complex problem-solving can happen in brains very different from ours. (然而，它们在算术方面的成功，不仅仅是比较大小，这表明它们拥有一个复杂得惊人的小脑袋。这种高效性为人工智能提供了有用的思路，展示了复杂任务可能需要的计算能力更少。这些发现让我们重新思考自然本能和学习思维之间的区别，表明复杂的问题解决可以在与我们大脑截然不同的大脑中发生)”可知，作者对蜜蜂的数学能力持积极、认可的态度，认为其有重要意义和价值。A. Skeptical怀疑的；B. Favorable赞成的，有利的；C. Indifferent冷漠的；D. Dismissive轻视的，不屑一顾的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Humans consider complex math a sign of high intelligence. But research shows much smaller - brained creatures, like honeybees, also have impressive number skills and can even do basic arithmetic (算术). This challenges old ideas about what’s needed for math and suggests basic number abilities might be common in the animal kingdom. (人类认为复杂的数学是高智商的标志。但研究表明，像蜜蜂这样大脑小得多的生物也有令人印象深刻的数字技能，甚至能做基本的算术运算。这挑战了以往关于数学所需条件的旧观念，并表明基本的数字能力在动物界可能很普遍)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕蜜蜂的数学能力展开，研究表明蜜蜂具有数学能力，这表明数学能力在自然界中可能广泛存在。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。 The Unexpected Gift It was a freezing December afternoon when I noticed an old man struggling with grocery bags at a bus stop. Snowflakes danced in the air as his thin coat shook in the wind, revealing worn-out clothes. His wrinkled hands shook visibly while trying to secure a slipping bag of oranges. ____16____ Without thinking, I turned back and lifted two heaviest bags. His surprised smile exposed several missing teeth, but his eyes shone like polished stones. On the crowded bus, he told me in a dry voice how his wife had passed away last spring, leaving him alone in a small apartment. As the bus approached Pine Street, he suddenly grasped my shoulder. ____17____ “For your kindness,” he whispered, pressing something cold into my hand before disappearing into the snow. Opening my hand under a streetlight, I froze. ____18____ A silver pocket watch with delicate leaf patterns lay polished and bright; its chain lay loosely like a sleeping snake. The Roman numerals (数字) on its face reminded me of my grandfather’s clock. After three hours of online searching, I discovered it was a 1920s collector’s item. My throat tightened seeing auction (拍卖) listings with prices that could cover my college textbooks for two years. ____19____ There was no question about what I needed to do. ____20____ But the weeping neighbor told me that the old man had passed away peacefully in his favorite armchair, holding a photo of his late wife. A. I rushed to his building at dawn. B. Something warm arose in my chest. C. I almost continued walking to catch my movie. D. “Young man,” he said with unexpected firmness. E. Guilt and curiosity fought in my mind all evening. F. What I saw under the shining light took my breath away. G. His apartment building smelled of boiled cabbage and old books. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18.

To be frank, she was a smart girl, yet always troubled by an invisible fear in her heart — that is, indecision. Whether it was choosing what to eat for lunch or deciding which extracurricular activity to participate in, Mary always had difficulty making decisions, fearing that every choice might bring unpredictable consequences. This made Mary miss many precious opportunities, which made her seem a little out of place among her friends and classmates. She longed for a change, but didn’t know where to start. Until that decisive summer, an accidental opportunity completely changed Mary’s life. That summer, the school organized an outdoor adventure activity aimed at training students’ courage and teamwork skills. At first, Mary was full of resistance. She was afraid of the unknown natural environment, and she was even more afraid that the decision she made would put the team in trouble. But with the constant encouragement of her teachers and friends, Mary gathered courage and signed up for the event. On the first day of the activity, they faced a huge challenge — crossing a thick forest to reach a secret camp hidden in a valley. Faced with complex environment and unpredictable weather, everyone in the team had to contribute their own strength and jointly decide the direction of their travel. Mary was still hesitant at first, but under the patient guidance of the captain, she learned to listen to everyone’s opinions and tried to make judgments after comprehensive consideration. The most difficult moment occurred on the third day, when a sudden rainstorm made them lose their way. The atmosphere in the team became tense and anxious, and Mary also felt great pressure. But at that moment, she suddenly realized that escape and hesitation could not solve the problem, and only by facing it bravely could they find a way out. 注意： 1.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。 Mary tried her best to calm down and said, “Everyone, it’s time to make a decision!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience was like sunshine that brightened the dark in Mary’s heart. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mary tried her best to calm down and said, “Everyone, it’s time to make a decision!” Hearing her words, everyone turned and looked at her. Taking a deep breath, Mary proposed a plan to determine the direction based on the landmarks observed before. Realizing making decisions means taking responsibilities, Mary gave others a firm stare. Although this decision was risky, the team chose to believe in her and decided in full agreement to move forward according to her guidance. After hours of exhausting hike, they finally walked out of the fog and found the legendary secret camp. This experience was like sunshine that brightened the dark in Mary’s heart. Back at school, she volunteered to organize the autumn field trip — listing spots, asking classmates’ ideas, and checking forecasts and so on. The botanical garden trip she planned impressed everyone. At lunch, she no longer hesitated. Instead, she suggested new dishes to friends, who now turned to her for ideas. Mary learned to listen to her inner voice and also learned to seek help and advice from others when necessary, which enabled her to make significant progress in both academic and interpersonal relationships. Every challenge and attempt is a precious opportunity to discover and improve yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Mary是一个普通的高中生，她被优柔寡断的性格困扰着。一次户外探险活动改变了她，她主动做出决策，帮助团队成功找到出路。这次活动照亮了Mary内心的黑暗，此后她在各种事情上都更加积极地主动参与。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“Mary尽力冷静下来，说：“大家，是时候做出决定了！””可知，第一段可以描述Mary主动提出自己的意见、成功带领大家找到出路。 ②由续写第二段首句“这段经历就像阳光，照亮了玛丽心中的黑暗。”可知，第二段可以描写这次活动给Mary带来的变化。 2. 段落续写： Mary冷静下来——做决定——带领大家找到出路——这件事给Mary带来的积极变化 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①提出：propose/put forward ②承担责任：take responsibilities/bear responsibilities ③信任：believe in/trust ④使……印象深刻：impress/leave a deep impression on 情绪类 令人疲惫的：exhausting/tiring 珍贵的：precious/valuable 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, Mary proposed a plan to determine the direction based on the landmarks observed before.(使用了现在分词作状语、过去分词作后置定语) 【高分句型2】Mary learned to listen to her inner voice and also learned to seek help and advice from others when necessary, which enabled her to make significant progress in both academic and interpersonal relationships.

Assess Whether You Can Handle It Responsible owners always start by assessing whether they are ready—financially, physically, and emotionally—to be their pet’s NO.1 bottom line: Make sure you can really afford a dog, or an unfortunate event may put you, your dog, and your doctor in a heartbreaking situation. A 2021 survey done by the government revealed that just under half (45%) of pet owners did not have enough cash on hand to pay for a $1,000 emergency pet bill. This is concerning, but a pet insurance is an option. Keep in mind that you’ll be paying this monthly money for it. Research What Types Are Best for You Dogs vary widely in size, nature, intelligence, tolerance of children or other pets, space needs and barking levels, and human owner situations vary as well. For example, maybe a Dachshund dog’s brown eyes have stolen your heart—but will your neighbors complain when your little watchdog barks every time a door shuts or a vehicle approaches? Assess your situation and look for a perfect companion who will fit in. The Essentials: At the bare minimum, all dogs need food and water bowls, a collar, and a lead. Ask the shelter for recommendations and determine what you can afford to spend each month. Do the research—there are endless food options in the pet marketplace, from budget-friendly kibble (粗磨饲料) to expensive, specific uncooked food subscriptions. Other Items You’ll Need: Healthy treats for training Comfortable bed for rest Breed-appropriate toys Chews and no-chew medicine Essential to Do: Make an appointment with a doctor right away. Get recommendations for a good dog training class. Ask a friend or family member to be your go-to in case of emergency. 1. Which of the following is a choice to help afford a dog? A Government’s relief. B. An emergency fund. C. A hospital’s policy. D. A dog insurance. 2. What should you do when choosing a suitable type? A. Evaluate your situation. B. Consider children’s needs. C. Go to see a pet doctor. D. Listen to friends’ advice. 3. Where is the text probably from? A. A science magazine. B. A shopping program. C. A shelter website. D. A wildlife newspaper. B Sixteen-year-old Emma stared at the block of clay turning wildly on the potter’s wheel, her shaking hands holding in a circle inches above it. The psychologist had suggested pottery class to calm her panic attacks, but all she felt was depression. “Breathe with the rhythm,” her instructor Mr. Hayes reminded her gently, during which the day her childhood piano had been sold to pay medical bills remained. Since her mother’s cancer was found two years earlier, Emma had hidden herself in a shadow. She quit the school orchestra (管弦乐队), avoided friends, and memorized hospital passageway patterns like sheet music. What she merely trusted was the steady sound of heart monitors. But when her art teacher discovered she drew complicated patterns casually during free periods, she handed Emma a pottery class brochure: “Clay doesn’t judge.” The first month was disastrous. While classmates shaped elegant vases, Emma’s creations collapsed into strange shapes. “Stop forcing control,” Mr. Hayes advised, placing her hands on cool clay. “Let the material speak.” That night, she dreamed of her mother’s hands guiding hers. Waking in tears, Emma returned to the studio at dawn, answering the “call” of clay, which perhaps was her rescuer. Breakthrough came unexpectedly. During a panic episode, Emma unconsciously grabbed raw clay. As she created its delicate surface, her racing thoughts slowed. The next day, she presented a sculpture titled Broken Harmony — a broken bowl with gold decoration flowing through its breaks. The art gallery manager remarked surprisingly, “You’ve grasped kintsugi (金缮工艺), the art of accepting imperfections!” Soon, Emma’s works became healing tools for hospital patients. On the final day of her mother’s chemical treatment for cancer, she placed a kintsugi-inspired music box by her mother’s bedside. Its tiny piano played the music they’d composed together, proving that brokenness could give birth to new beauty. 4. Why did Emma start pottery classes? A. To help manage her anxiety. B. To obtain an art credit. C. To obey her mother’s wish. D. To take up a new hobby. 5. Which best describes Emma’s personal growth? A. Active. B. Passive. C. Determined. D. Ambitious. 6. What does the music box symbolize? A. Childhood homesickness. B. Medical science’s limitations. C. The regret for the loss of memories. D. Reconnection through shared creativity. 7. What core message does the text convey? A. Artistic talent emerges in unexpected ways. B. Traditional crafts require technical precision. C. Family illness strengthens parent-child bonds. D. Healing can arise from accepting imperfection. C Until a few weeks ago, I relied on restaurant hygiene (卫生) ratings. The score ranges from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates urgent improvement is required. Yet, the BBC revealed some businesses misrepresent their hygiene scores, posting a 5 when their ratings are as low as 0. The signal of hygiene I relied on wasn’t always reliable. This incident represents something older: Deception (欺骗) through misrepresentation gradually weakens trust. As with any social behavior, when ill behaviors are successful, they tend to spread, because people copy behaviors associated with success. Over time, this may harm the shared signals on which society depends. Research in biology and sociology highlights how. Animals signal information to others about themselves, but some animals cheat. Cuckoo chicks, for instance, model after the sound of the young of other birds to trick adult birds into feeding them. Among humans, technological improvements allow us to misrepresent our intentions and identities in many ways. This can include pretending who we are in digital interactions by stealing from people online without ever meeting them. We share a lot of qualities with cuckoos: Anyone can be anyone in the digital age. Luckily for us, we have found ways to solve problems with trust throughout our history. We learn to recognize patterns of behavior indicative of deception, and just as the tricks for deception spread, so do the methods for detecting it, whether those involve passwords, face or voice recognition, or any of the new technologies being developed. We have accordingly established laws that fine or punish lawbreakers or wrongdoers. What matters for maintaining trust is the reliability of the signals we use in communication. What we need is a mechanism for determining reliability: Whether people or places can be trusted to do what we expect of them. This is done both through effective policing and through educating ourselves about how to avoid unreliable people, places and things. If I can trust that hygiene ratings are reliable, then I can use the score as a signal to drive my behavior. 8. What does the underlined phrase “the shared signals” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Social reforms. B. Agreed beliefs. C. Copied behaviors. D. Accurate representations. 9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning cuckoo chicks? A. To illustrate a deception in nature. B. To put biological research into use. C. To give an example of animals’ feeding. D. To compare the behaviors of different birds. 10. Why do we need a system according to paragraph 5? A. To educate the public. B. To drive people’s action. C. To conduct effective policing. D. To guarantee trustworthiness. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Wearing Away of Trust B. What Technologies Rid Us of C. The Cruel Fact of the Hygiene D. Where the Missing Signal Escapes D Humans consider complex math a sign of high intelligence. But research shows much smaller-brained creatures, like honeybees, also have impressive number skills and can even do basic arithmetic (算术). This challenges old ideas about what’s needed for math and suggests basic number abilities might be common in the animal kingdom. Scientists study bee math using lab tests. In one study, bees flew through a Y-shaped puzzle. They saw a sample stimulus showing a number of shapes (e.g. three blue circles) at the start. Inside, they chose between two paths: one leading to the same number of shapes, the other to a different number. A sugar reward was always given for choosing the matching number. Bees learned to pick the correct path well above random chance, proving they recognize and match specific quantities. Researchers then tested addition and subtraction (减法). Bees were trained in a similar puzzle. First, they saw a starting number (e. g. one shape). Then, they entered a room and saw either one shape added or one shape taken away. Finally, they chose between two options: the correct result (e g. two after adding, zero after taking away) or an opposite one. After training, bees correctly chose the outcome of +1 or -1 operations with a probability of about 60-70%. This showed they weren’t just remembering pictures, but actually performing a thinking process with numbers. How do they do this with such tiny brains? A bee’s brain has under a million nerve cells, far fewer than humans. Neuroscientists think they use highly efficient pathways for vision and pattern spotting. Bees likely use continuous features like the total area or outline length of shapes to estimate numbers, a strategy called using “numerical magnitude (数值大小)”. However, their success with arithmetic, needing more than just comparing sizes, points to a surprisingly complex mini-mind. This efficiency offers useful ideas for artificial intelligence, showing how complex tasks might need less computing power. These findings make us rethink the difference between natural instinct and learned thinking, showing complex problem-solving can happen in brains very different from ours. 12. How were bees trained to recognize quantities in paragraph 2? A. By counting circles in different colors. B. By comparing quantities at two choice points. C. By associating shapes with sugar rewards in a puzzle. D. By matching sample numbers to correct paths for rewards. 13. What is the significance of bees’ success in arithmetic tasks? A. It shows their abilities rely merely on instinct, not learning. B. It proves bees can communicate numerical concepts to humans. C. It suggests they process numbers beyond simple visual comparisons. D. It indicates their brains have more nerve cells than previously thought. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards bees’ mathematical abilities? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive. 15. What is the main conclusion drawn from bee studies? A. AI should copy insect brain structures. B. Human-like reasoning requires large brains. C. Animal intelligence is limited to basic instincts. D. Mathematical ability may be widespread in nature. 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。 The Unexpected Gift It was a freezing December afternoon when I noticed an old man struggling with grocery bags at a bus stop.

To be frank, she was a smart girl, yet always troubled by an invisible fear in her heart — that is, indecision. Whether it was choosing what to eat for lunch or deciding which extracurricular activity to participate in, Mary always had difficulty making decisions, fearing that every choice might bring unpredictable consequences. This made Mary miss many precious opportunities, which made her seem a little out of place among her friends and classmates. She longed for a change, but didn’t know where to start. Until that decisive summer, an accidental opportunity completely changed Mary’s life. That summer, the school organized an outdoor adventure activity aimed at training students’ courage and teamwork skills. At first, Mary was full of resistance. She was afraid of the unknown natural environment, and she was even more afraid that the decision she made would put the team in trouble. But with the constant encouragement of her teachers and friends, Mary gathered courage and signed up for the event. On the first day of the activity, they faced a huge challenge — crossing a thick forest to reach a secret camp hidden in a valley. Faced with complex environment and unpredictable weather, everyone in the team had to contribute their own strength and jointly decide the direction of their travel. Mary was still hesitant at first, but under the patient guidance of the captain, she learned to listen to everyone’s opinions and tried to make judgments after comprehensive consideration. The most difficult moment occurred on the third day, when a sudden rainstorm made them lose their way. The atmosphere in the team became tense and anxious, and Mary also felt great pressure. But at that moment, she suddenly realized that escape and hesitation could not solve the problem, and only by facing it bravely could they find a way out. 注意： 1.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。 Mary tried her best to calm down and said, “Everyone, it’s time to make a decision!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience was like sunshine that brightened the dark in Mary’s heart. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
