But transportation is not the only area where we face challenges. Even in sports, we need to find ways to adapt to a changing climate. One example is the problem of hot artificial turf (人造草皮), which can make playing conditions uncomfortable and even dangerous. Artificial turf, often used in sports fields, can become very hot during sunny days. This heat can make it hard for players to enjoy their games. To solve this, researchers have developed a new system that cools the turf using water. This system stores rainwater just below the surface of the field. Over time, the water will turn into vapor (蒸汽), cooling the turf in a natural way, much like how sweating cools our bodies. On hot days when the air temperature reaches about 30℃, this system has shown great results. The surface temperature of the cooled turf was much lower than regular turf, which is usually above 50℃. This new system not only improves the playing experience but also helps cities adapt to climate change. By cooling the turf, it reduces the heat in urban areas, making them more livable. This is part of a larger effort to use innovative solutions to tackle environmental challenges. In conclusion, the water-cooling system for artificial turf is a simple yet effective way to make sports fields safer and more enjoyable. It shows how small changes can have a big impact, helping us adapt to a warmer world. For more information, visit the project’s website at https://www.projectcitysports.com. 21. What does the new system aim to deal with? A. Difficulties in caring for turf. B. Injuries from playing on turf. C. Water supply for playing fields. D. Overheating of man-made grass. 22. Which plays the key role in the system? A. Thick grass. B. Direct sunlight. C. Loose soil. D. Cooling vapor. 23. What can we infer from the second illustration? A. Cooled turf is nearly as warm as natural grass. B. Air temperature is much easier to be lowered. C. The temperature gap is narrower on hot days. D. Water cooling is more effective than air cooling. B Turning thirty, a milestone that feels like the start for a career, the prime of a lion, and the peak for a dancer. Thirty is a number that I’ve been anticipating, yet it’s a label I was afraid to embrace. Thirty is supposed to be my teacher’s age, but now it’s mine, and with it comes everything it signifies. A few days ago, a colleague tried to comfort me by saying,“Thirty is what twenty used to be.” He made a thought-provoking (发人深省的) point. Am I still on the summit? People keep telling me the highest point has just been shifted, and I keep telling them that the climbing wall has dropped from the ten feet I once scaled with ease to the eight feet that now seem insurmountable (不可逾越的). “You are not growing older, you are growing wiser,” says a wise old friend. This, however, is the kind of wisdom that makes one seek a different perspective. And so as I approach the day when I can no longer leap over the barriers with the same energy, I consider it necessary to share some thoughts on maturity with you. I am driven to express how maturity feels to me, both physically and mentally. Growing older, is a mixture of flexibility and acceptance and a process that requires both fighting against the unavoidable and embracing the changes that come. In fact, a philosopher considered it the most enlightening transition of all: Embrace maturity with me! The best is yet to be. Whether or not he was right, most of my first thirty years have been enlightening ones, so I will settle for what lies ahead being as fulfilling as what has passed. I find myself moving toward the future with a curious mix of both challenging and embracing my maturity, hoping that the poet was right when he said, “youth is always fifteen years behind us.” 24. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell. C. Time heal s all wounds. D. Aging is a harsh reality. 25. What does the phrase “on the summit” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Being on one’s peak. B. Experiencing a decline. C. Reaching the top post. D. Facing a turning point. 26. What can we learn from the author’s reflection on maturity? A. Maturity is a contradictory but natural process. B. There is a clear decline in mental abilities. C. It is necessary to fight against maturity. D. It means forgetting about our past. 27. How does the author feel about the future life? A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful. C Ecosystems are complex networks of interactions among species, and understanding how they function is crucial for preserving biodiversity. Scientists have long been attracted by the role of keystone species organisms that have a significantly large impact on their environment relative to their abundance. Through mathematical models and field studies, researchers have uncovered how these species shape ecosystems and maintain their stability. Keystone species often regulate the populations of other species, either directly or indirectly. For example, sea otter (海獭) in seaweed forests prey (捕猎) on sea urchins (海胆), which, if left unchecked, can overfeed on seaweed and destroy the habitat. By controlling sea urchin populations, otters ensure the survival of seaweed forests, which in turn support the diversity of marine life. Similarly, wolves in Yellowstone National Park influence not only their prey, such as deer, but also the vegetation and even the behavior of rivers by reducing overfeeding. These examples highlight the fundamental effects keystone species can have on entire ecosystems. Mathematical models have revealed that the removal of keystone species can lead to significant disruptions. In their absence, ecosystems may experience a loss of biodiversity, shifts in species dominance, and even collapse. This phenomenon, known as “trophic cascade”, underscores the importance of keystone species in maintaining ecological balance. Human activities, such as hunting, habitat destruction, and pollution, have often led to the decline or extinction of these critical species, with far-reaching consequences. To address these challenges scientists have developed monitoring systems to track the health of ecosystems and identify potential threats to keystone species. These systems aim to provide early warnings of ecological imbalances, allowing for timely interventions. Conservation efforts focused on protecting keystone species have proven effective in restoring ecosystems, as seen in the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone. The study of keystone species not only deepens our understanding of ecosystems but also emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life. By safeguarding these crucial organisms, we can help ensure the adaptability and sustainability of the natural world. 28. What is the role of keystone species? A. To increase the number of targets. B. To keep the balance of ecosystem. C. To take control of their habitats. D. To compete with other species. 29. What is the function of Paragraph 2? A. Supporting an argument. B. Stating some phenomena. C Sharing some practices. D. Opposing an opinion. 30. What is the purpose of monitoring systems? A. To control illegal hunting and habitat destruction. B. To identify and address threats to keystone species. C. To study the behavior of keystone species in isolation. D. To track the population of all species in an ecosystem. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of biodiversity in ecosystems. B. The modern methods used to study ecosystems. C. The role of keystone species in ecosystem stability. D. The impact of human activities on keystone species. D Despite the convenience brought by the social network, the issue of cyberbully has become so widespread that many individuals now hesitate to engage in online interactions. By next year, a significant portion of online communication will involve some form of harassment (骚扰). We are finally acknowledging the gravity of this issue by supporting and developing a variety of initiatives, platforms, and strategies aimed at preventing cyberbullies from causing harm. Unfortunately, our efforts might be insufficient and too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely accessible, cyberbullies will have adopted more complex strategies. In the near future, it won’t just be the messages you see on your screen that will be questionable. Soon you will also doubt the authenticity of the profiles you encounter. This is due to the spreading of advanced identity manipulation (操纵) and automation technologies that are becoming increasingly accessible. These advancements are likely to fuel our current struggles with cyberbully. The reason cyberbully is so harmful is not just its frequency but also its personal nature. A decade of social media use has resulted in a situation where cyberbullies can easily access personal details and use them harmfully. Armed with this information, they can carry out targeted campaigns to harassment individuals. For instance, a cyberbully could create a fake profile that appears to be a friend and send messages that seem supportive, tricking victims into revealing personal information or engaging in harmful behavior. Since cyberbullies seek power, vulnerable (易受攻击的) individuals, especially children, will be the most severely affected. Much of online interaction is based on trust and mutual respect. Identity manipulation technologies may erode this foundation gradually. We need to address the vulnerability of our online communities. Social media platforms and users must cooperate to establish methods for confirming and communicating authenticity. This could involve developing a standardized system to authenticate user profiles, indicating their reliability and origins, or transitioning away from text-based communication and towards video-based interactions—using platforms that can be linked to confirmed identities. Trust is hard to build but easy to destroy and the challenge of maintaining a safe online environment is only going to intensify. 32. What’s the author’s attitude towards our response to cyberbully? A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed. 33. What does the underlined word “erode” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Damage. B. Strengthen. C. Preserve. D. Restore. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Technologies can be double-edged. C. There are more solutions than problems. D. Face to face communication is key to trust. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Unknown Power behind Cyberbully B. How Cyberbully Is Affecting Technology C. Where the Problem of Cyberbully Is Rooted D. The Increasingly Severe Threat of Cyberbully 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。 Generosity is like the circulation of blood — healthiest and vibrant when flowing in both directions. In my youth, I knew an elderly relative whose kindness seemed boundless: she arrived with thoughtful gifts, cooked favorite meals, and sat by sickbeds with chicken soup. Yet she rigidly refused all favors, even a glass of water. “I give, but don’t take,” she’d say proudly. ____36____ Scientific research confirms the mutual joy of giving and receiving. In one experiment, participants performing small acts of kindness—holding doors, feeding parking meters, or gifting snacks — bring forth genuine “Duchenne smiles” (genuinely happy smiles) from the receivers nearly four times more often than unassisted strangers. ____37____ Similarly, a 2004 study further showed students assigned five weekly acts of kindness maintained higher happiness levels than those who did not engage. Logically, then, one way we can raise others’ well-being is by giving them opportunities to be kind and helpful. In a 2022 study, researchers revealed that people hesitate to ask strangers for help, because they assume this will cause inconvenience and annoy the person. ____38____ They saw it as less trouble, and enjoyed more mood enhancement. Balance, however, is crucial. Demanding excessive help — like asking to live in someone’s home — ruins goodwill. So does offering cash for favors like moving boxes for you. ____39____ To cultivate generosity, start by accepting small offers: a coffee, a helping hand. Then respond. When I once bought a homeless man food, I asked, “Will you pray for my family?” His shock melted into eagerness. This exchange honored his dignity, proving everyone has something to give — whether advice, prayers, or gratitude. Generosity’s true power lies in this circulation: give freely, receive gratefully, and repeat. ____40____ A. This one-sided approach, however, is deeply flawed. B. It promotes relationships only when flowing unblocked. C. Kindness grows on sincerity, not responsibilities or deals. D. The circulation of kindness benefits both givers and receivers. E. An unwillingness to accept kindnesses is a form of selfishness. F. Givers also reported immediate boosts in mood and life satisfaction. G. However, people who responded by helping proved more willing to assist. 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。 One routine morning, I cleaned my fish tank, amazed at how much water had managed to evaporate (蒸发) in one week. Bryan and I decided to go to the pet store to get more fish. While waiting for busy clerks, we wandered to the bird area. Suddenly, something ____41____ happened: a small green bird in a full cage flew to the bars near us. To our surprise, it ____42____ us as we walked around the cage. When I gently reached toward it, instead of flying away like others, the bird ____43____ its head, silently asking for kindness. My heart melted, and I ____44____ to take it home immediately. We named him Indy. Remarkably, he became deeply ____45____ to us within hours. We let him outside where he ____46____ joyfully with fallen leaves, chasing small sticks across the ____47____ for two hours. Later, while I was showering inside, Bryan ____48____ called me outside. There lay Indy in his hand, body completely ____49____, unable to lift his head. Closer look showed a sad ____50____: Indy lacked the bottom half of his beak. Of course we did not notice this at the pet store. The little bird likely hadn’t eaten for days. We tried to offer him some soft food, but it just ____51____ right. Holding back tears, we sat on the bed, ____52____ touching his feathers. Then came a deep moment: Indy suddenly raised his head, ____53____ his wings fully like a bird taking flight, and quietly died. That night, I thought about life’s meaning. Perhaps Indy’s short life wasn’t about teaching me, but about finding love in his final moments — to leave ____54____ in caring hands, not left alone in a cold cage. This changed my view: events in our lives may help others’ journeys, and every living thing has a ____55____ purpose. 41. A. boring B. confusing C. shocking D. amazing 42. A. led B. followed C. guided D. avoided 43. A. lowered B. shook C. hid D. turned 44. A. waited B. decided C. agreed D. feared 45. A. close B. known C. attached D. used 46. A. fought B. played C. buried D. cleaned 47. A. wood B. stone C. ground D. carpet 48. A. angrily B. softly C. urgently D. happily 49. A. weak B. strong C. lively D. stiff 50. A. principle B. truth C. theory D. belief 51. A. ran out B. fell over C. poured down D. came across 52. A. quickly B. gently C. roughly D. carelessly 53. A. closed B. washed C. spread D. moved 54. A. well-fed B. fully-healed C. deeply-loved D. clearly-seen 55. A. clear B. simple C. complex D. special 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There was a time when the word “farmer” was closely connected with hardship. Our grandfathers and fathers ____56____ (bend) under the hot sun, their sweat making clothes wet. They glanced anxiously at the sky, not only showing respect for nature ____57____ fearing storms that might destroy their crops. To survive, many were forced to leave villages, moving to cities ____58____ they worked long hours for low pay. But now in Ansai once a military base on the Silk Road, things have changed. Farmers no longer need to leave home because opportunity grows right outside. Rows of greenhouses stand ____59____ the land, where bright red tomatoes grow inside. Local farmers, trained in new techniques, manage these greenhouses ____60____ (efficient). New ponds are full of fish that swim happily. Most importantly, families stay together — children play while ____61____ (elder) watch them with smiles. Villagers often gather in evenings, sharing stories under old trees. This change began because people realized progress should improve lives. Investors saw the value of local weather conditions. They built roads, ____62____ (connect) farms to markets and making transportation easier. Now vegetables ____63____ (carry) to big cities like Shanghai are popular everywhere. Collective income has risen greatly, reaching ¥600,000 last year. But the real ____64____ (succeed) is that families once separated are now united. This shows that the truth of rural revitalization lies in people doing well where their roots run the _____65_____ (deep). The village which was once poor, now attracts visitors admiring its progress. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你校为庆祝建校50周年，计划在英文网站增设纪念专栏。现面向全校征集栏目创意，请你给负责该专栏策划的外教Dr. Brown写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)栏目名称、设计理念； (2)栏目内容、形式； (3)栏目意义。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Dr. Brown, I’m excited to hear about the new column for our school’s 50th anniversary. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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。 “David, you’re a natural on the field!” Coach Martinez shouted after another impressive practice. As the other players cheered and headed for the locker room, one teammate joked, “Better get his autograph now — future national star!” David laughed, but inside, the words stirred a familiar dream: representing his country on the soccer field, just like his heroes. At 12, David had already learned the value of hard work. With his mother struggling to raise him and his twin sisters, he decided to buy his first pair of professional soccer sneakers on his own. For seven months, he woke early for a paper route and ran a lemonade stand during vacation. Finally, his piggy bank stuffed with enough savings for the neon-orange shoes he’d admired for weeks — shoes with “unbeatable grip (抓地力),” perfect for mastering those tricks on the field. “Mom, save your money for Tracy and Katie’s birthday party,” David insisted when his mother offered to help. “I want these shoes to be mine every cent earned by me.” His mother smiled, proud but weary, and he determined to make her proud on the field too. On the school bus ride home, David couldn’t contain his excitement. “Gabriel, tonight’s the night! I’m buying those sneakers after homework — want to come?” His classmate Gabriel, usually quiet, nodded with a faint smile. Suddenly, the bus jolted (颠簸) over a gap, and Gabriel’s shoe slid off — revealing a shabby, hole-dotted canvas with worn edges. David froze. The underside was practically coming off, the laces gone, and the fabric so worn it barely protected Gabriel’s feet. Gabriel hurried to grab the shoe, cheeks flushing red. “They… they’re still good,” he mumbled, avoiding David’s gaze. But David saw the truth: these shoes weren’t just old — they were unwearable. He thought of his own dream shoes waiting at the store, with their shining color and top design, and then looked at Gabriel’s shoes again. The bus continued rolling, but David barely heard it over the rapid pounding of his heartbeat. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 David stared at the unwearable shoes, his excitement fading into a heavy pause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Gabriel found a brightly wrapped package on his desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 试卷类型A 山东名校考试联盟 2025—2026学年高三年级开学摸底考试 英语试题 2025.9 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Now, let’s watch a five-minute film about last year’s programs before taking your questions. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Cooling Down Artificial Turf: A Water-Based Solution Moving people and goods around the world is a major source of global CO2 emissions. But transportation is not the only area where we face challenges. Even in sports, we need to find ways to adapt to a changing climate. One example is the problem of hot artificial turf (人造草皮), which can make playing conditions uncomfortable and even dangerous. Artificial turf, often used in sports fields, can become very hot during sunny days. This heat can make it hard for players to enjoy their games. To solve this, researchers have developed a new system that cools the turf using water. This system stores rainwater just below the surface of the field. Over time, the water will turn into vapor (蒸汽), cooling the turf in a natural way, much like how sweating cools our bodies. On hot days when the air temperature reaches about 30℃, this system has shown great results. The surface temperature of the cooled turf was much lower than regular turf, which is usually above 50℃. This new system not only improves the playing experience but also helps cities adapt to climate change. By cooling the turf, it reduces the heat in urban areas, making them more livable. This is part of a larger effort to use innovative solutions to tackle environmental challenges. In conclusion, the water-cooling system for artificial turf is a simple yet effective way to make sports fields safer and more enjoyable. It shows how small changes can have a big impact, helping us adapt to a warmer world. For more information, visit the project’s website at https://www.projectcitysports.com. 21. What does the new system aim to deal with? A. Difficulties in caring for turf. B. Injuries from playing on turf. C. Water supply for playing fields. D. Overheating of man-made grass. 22. Which plays the key role in the system? A. Thick grass. B. Direct sunlight. C. Loose soil. D. Cooling vapor. 23. What can we infer from the second illustration? A. Cooled turf is nearly as warm as natural grass. B. Air temperature is much easier to be lowered. C. The temperature gap is narrower on hot days. D. Water cooling is more effective than air cooling. 【答案】21. D 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了针对人造草皮过热问题所研发的一种水冷系统，阐述了其工作原理、效果及意义。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One example is the problem of hot artificial turf (人造草皮), which can make playing conditions uncomfortable and even dangerous.(其中一个例子就是人造草皮过热的问题，这会让比赛条件变得不舒服，甚至危险)”以及第二段中“To solve this, researchers have developed a new system that cools the turf using water.(为了解决这个问题，研究人员开发了一种利用水来冷却草皮的新系统)”可知，新系统旨在应对人造草皮过热的问题。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This system stores rainwater just below the surface of the field. Over time, the water will turn into vapor (蒸汽), cooling the turf in a natural way, much like how sweating cools our bodies.(这个系统将雨水储存在场地表面下方。随着时间推移，水会变成蒸汽，以自然的方式冷却草皮，就像出汗冷却我们的身体一样)”可知，冷却蒸汽在该系统中起着关键作用。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二张插图中所示可以看出，冷却后的人造草皮温度(cooled standard)与天然草皮温度(natural grass)高于空气温度(air temperature)，且基本重合，说明冷却后的草皮几乎和天然草皮一样温暖。故选A项。 B Turning thirty, a milestone that feels like the start for a career, the prime of a lion, and the peak for a dancer. Thirty is a number that I’ve been anticipating, yet it’s a label I was afraid to embrace. Thirty is supposed to be my teacher’s age, but now it’s mine, and with it comes everything it signifies. A few days ago, a colleague tried to comfort me by saying,“Thirty is what twenty used to be.” He made a thought-provoking (发人深省的) point. Am I still on the summit? People keep telling me the highest point has just been shifted, and I keep telling them that the climbing wall has dropped from the ten feet I once scaled with ease to the eight feet that now seem insurmountable (不可逾越的). “You are not growing older, you are growing wiser,” says a wise old friend. This, however, is the kind of wisdom that makes one seek a different perspective. And so as I approach the day when I can no longer leap over the barriers with the same energy, I consider it necessary to share some thoughts on maturity with you. I am driven to express how maturity feels to me, both physically and mentally. Growing older, is a mixture of flexibility and acceptance and a process that requires both fighting against the unavoidable and embracing the changes that come. In fact, a philosopher considered it the most enlightening transition of all: Embrace maturity with me! The best is yet to be. Whether or not he was right, most of my first thirty years have been enlightening ones, so I will settle for what lies ahead being as fulfilling as what has passed. I find myself moving toward the future with a curious mix of both challenging and embracing my maturity, hoping that the poet was right when he said, “youth is always fifteen years behind us.” 24. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell. C. Time heal s all wounds. D. Aging is a harsh reality. 25. What does the phrase “on the summit” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Being on one’s peak. B. Experiencing a decline. C. Reaching the top post. D. Facing a turning point. 26. What can we learn from the author’s reflection on maturity? A. Maturity is a contradictory but natural process. B. There is a clear decline in mental abilities. C. It is necessary to fight against maturity. D. It means forgetting about our past. 27. How does the author feel about the future life? A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇抒情性散文。作者即将迈入30岁，对这一年纪既期待又畏惧，分享对成熟的思考，认为变老是矛盾却自然的过程，对未来充满期待。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirty is a number that I’ve been anticipating, yet it’s a label I was afraid to embrace. Thirty is supposed to be my teacher’s age, but now it’s mine, and with it comes everything it signifies. (30 岁是我一直期待的数字，却也是我害怕接受的标签。30 岁本应是我老师的年纪，可现在它成了我的年纪，随之而来的还有这个年纪所象征的一切。)”可知，作者对30岁的到来既期待又畏惧，意识到曾经觉得遥远的“成熟年纪” 已然降临，暗含“变老已是残酷的现实”之意。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“People keep telling me the highest point has just been shifted, and I keep telling them that the climbing wall has dropped from the ten feet I once scaled with ease to the eight feet that now seem insurmountable (不可逾越的). (人们总说最高点只是变了位置，可我总告诉他们，那面攀岩墙从我曾经轻松攀爬的10英尺，降到了如今看似不可逾越的8英尺。)”可知，上句中“on the summit”与本句中“the highest point(最高点)”表意呼应，指“处于人生巅峰状态”。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Growing older, is a mixture of flexibility and acceptance and a process that requires both fighting against the unavoidable and embracing the changes that come. (变老是灵活与接纳的结合，是一个既需要对抗不可避免的现实，又要接纳随之而来的变化的过程。)”可知，作者认为成熟（变老）是既需要抗争又需要接纳的过程，存在矛盾性，但也是自然发生的过程，即“成熟是矛盾却自然的过程”。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The best is yet to be.(最好的尚未到来)”和最后一段“Whether or not he was right, most of my first thirty years have been enlightening ones, so I will settle for what lies ahead being as fulfilling as what has passed. I find myself moving toward the future with a curious mix of both challenging and embracing my maturity, hoping that the poet was right when he said, “youth is always fifteen years behind us.”(无论他是否正确，我前三十年的大部分时间都是有启发性的，所以我会满足于未来的事情和过去的事情一样充实。我发现自己在走向未来的过程中，既充满了挑战，又拥抱了自己的成熟，希望诗人说的“青春总是落后于我们十五年”是对的。)”可知，作者认为未来仍有美好等待，对未来生活充满期待，觉得未来是有希望的。故选B项。 C Ecosystems are complex networks of interactions among species, and understanding how they function is crucial for preserving biodiversity. Scientists have long been attracted by the role of keystone species organisms that have a significantly large impact on their environment relative to their abundance. Through mathematical models and field studies, researchers have uncovered how these species shape ecosystems and maintain their stability. Keystone species often regulate the populations of other species, either directly or indirectly. For example, sea otter (海獭) in seaweed forests prey (捕猎) on sea urchins (海胆), which, if left unchecked, can overfeed on seaweed and destroy the habitat. By controlling sea urchin populations, otters ensure the survival of seaweed forests, which in turn support the diversity of marine life. Similarly, wolves in Yellowstone National Park influence not only their prey, such as deer, but also the vegetation and even the behavior of rivers by reducing overfeeding. These examples highlight the fundamental effects keystone species can have on entire ecosystems. Mathematical models have revealed that the removal of keystone species can lead to significant disruptions. In their absence, ecosystems may experience a loss of biodiversity, shifts in species dominance, and even collapse. This phenomenon, known as “trophic cascade”, underscores the importance of keystone species in maintaining ecological balance. Human activities, such as hunting, habitat destruction, and pollution, have often led to the decline or extinction of these critical species, with far-reaching consequences. To address these challenges, scientists have developed monitoring systems to track the health of ecosystems and identify potential threats to keystone species. These systems aim to provide early warnings of ecological imbalances, allowing for timely interventions. Conservation efforts focused on protecting keystone species have proven effective in restoring ecosystems, as seen in the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone. The study of keystone species not only deepens our understanding of ecosystems but also emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life. By safeguarding these crucial organisms, we can help ensure the adaptability and sustainability of the natural world. 28. What is the role of keystone species? A. To increase the number of targets. B. To keep the balance of ecosystem. C. To take control of their habitats. D. To compete with other species. 29. What is the function of Paragraph 2? A. Supporting an argument. B. Stating some phenomena. C. Sharing some practices. D. Opposing an opinion. 30. What is the purpose of monitoring systems? A. To control illegal hunting and habitat destruction. B To identify and address threats to keystone species. C. To study the behavior of keystone species in isolation. D. To track the population of all species in an ecosystem. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of biodiversity in ecosystems. B. The modern methods used to study ecosystems. C. The role of keystone species in ecosystem stability. D. The impact of human activities on keystone species. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关键物种对维持生态系统稳定的核心作用，强调保护关键物种对生态可持续性的重要性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Through mathematical models and field studies, researchers have uncovered how these species shape ecosystems and maintain their stability.(通过数学模型和实地研究，研究人员已经揭示了这些物种如何塑造生态系统并维持其稳定性。)”可知，研究人员研究这些关键物种塑造生态系统并维持其稳定性的方式，由此推知，这些关键物种起到“塑造生态系统并维持其稳定性”的作用。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。通过第二段内容，结合该段主旨句“Keystone species often regulate the populations of other species, either directly or indirectly.(关键物种通常会直接或间接地调控其他物种的数量。)可知，该段通过“海獭、海胆和海藻林”和“黄石公园狼和鹿”两个具体案例，直观证明关键物种如何通过直接或间接调节其他物种数量，影响整个生态系统，从而支撑了第一段第二句“Scientists have long been attracted by the role of keystone species organisms that have a significantly large impact on their environment relative to their abundance.(长期以来，科学家们一直对关键物种的作用颇感兴趣，这类物种对其所处环境的影响远大于其自身的数量比例。)”提出的论点“关键物种对环境有很大的影响”。由此推知，第二段起到支撑论点的作用。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“To address these challenges, scientists have developed monitoring systems to track the health of ecosystems and identify potential threats to keystone species. These systems aim to provide early warnings of ecological imbalances, allowing for timely interventions.(为应对这些挑战，科学家们开发了监测系统，用于追踪生态系统的健康状况，并识别对关键物种构成的潜在威胁。这些系统旨在提前发出生态失衡的预警，以便能够及时采取干预措施。)”可知，科学家开发监测系统以追踪生态系统健康状况、识别关键物种的潜在威胁，并通过早期预警实现及时干预。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章首段内容“Scientists have long been attracted by the role of keystone species organisms that have a significantly large impact on their environment relative to their abundance.(长期以来，科学家们一直对关键物种的作用很感兴趣，这类物种对其所处环境的影响与其数量比例相比要大得多。)”提出了文章的核心主题“关键物种及其重要性”，并在第二段说明其如何调节生态；第三段分析移除关键物种的后果；第四段提出保护关键物种的措施；第五段总结保护关键物种对生态可持续性的意义。由此可知，文章的主旨是“关键物种在生态系统稳定中的作用”。故选C项。 D Despite the convenience brought by the social network, the issue of cyberbully has become so widespread that many individuals now hesitate to engage in online interactions. By next year, a significant portion of online communication will involve some form of harassment (骚扰). We are finally acknowledging the gravity of this issue by supporting and developing a variety of initiatives, platforms, and strategies aimed at preventing cyberbullies from causing harm. Unfortunately, our efforts might be insufficient and too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely accessible, cyberbullies will have adopted more complex strategies. In the near future, it won’t just be the messages you see on your screen that will be questionable. Soon you will also doubt the authenticity of the profiles you encounter. This is due to the spreading of advanced identity manipulation (操纵) and automation technologies that are becoming increasingly accessible. These advancements are likely to fuel our current struggles with cyberbully. The reason cyberbully is so harmful is not just its frequency but also its personal nature. A decade of social media use has resulted in a situation where cyberbullies can easily access personal details and use them harmfully. Armed with this information, they can carry out targeted campaigns to harassment individuals. For instance, a cyberbully could create a fake profile that appears to be a friend and send messages that seem supportive, tricking victims into revealing personal information or engaging in harmful behavior. Since cyberbullies seek power, vulnerable (易受攻击的) individuals, especially children, will be the most severely affected. Much of online interaction is based on trust and mutual respect. Identity manipulation technologies may erode this foundation gradually. We need to address the vulnerability of our online communities. Social media platforms and users must cooperate to establish methods for confirming and communicating authenticity. This could involve developing a standardized system to authenticate user profiles, indicating their reliability and origins, or transitioning away from text-based communication and towards video-based interactions—using platforms that can be linked to confirmed identities. Trust is hard to build but easy to destroy, and the challenge of maintaining a safe online environment is only going to intensify. 32. What’s the author’s attitude towards our response to cyberbully? A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed. 33. What does the underlined word “erode” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Damage. B. Strengthen. C. Preserve. D. Restore. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Technologies can be double-edged. C. There are more solutions than problems. D. Face to face communication is key to trust. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Unknown Power behind Cyberbully B. How Cyberbully Is Affecting Technology C. Where the Problem of Cyberbully Is Rooted D. The Increasingly Severe Threat of Cyberbully 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了网络欺凌问题的严重性及其对在线互动的负面影响，指出随着身份操纵和自动化技术的传播，网络欺凌将变得更加复杂和难以防范。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We are finally acknowledging the gravity of this issue by supporting and developing a variety of initiatives, platforms, and strategies aimed at preventing cyberbullies from causing harm.(我们终于认识到了这个问题的严重性，并开始支持和开发各种计划、平台和策略，以防止网络恶霸造成伤害)”以及第二段中“Unfortunately, our efforts might be insufficient and too late.(不幸的是，我们的努力可能不够，而且为时已晚)”可知，作者认为我们的努力可能不足且为时已晚，由此可推断出作者对我们的应对措施感到失望。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Since cyberbullies seek power, vulnerable (易受攻击的) individuals, especially children, will be the most severely affected. Much of online interaction is based on trust and mutual respect.(由于网络恶霸寻求权力，脆弱的个体，尤其是儿童，将受到最严重的影响。许多在线互动都是基于信任和相互尊重)”以及“Identity manipulation technologies may erode this foundation gradually.(身份操纵技术可能会逐渐……这一基础)”可知，网络欺凌会影响在线互动的信任和相互尊重基础，而身份操纵技术会进一步影响这种信任，由此可推知，此处指身份操纵技术可能会逐渐“破坏”这一基础，故erode意为“破坏”，与A项“Damage”意思相近。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is due to the spreading of advanced identity manipulation (操纵) and automation technologies that are becoming increasingly accessible.(这是由于先进的身份操纵和自动化技术的传播，这些技术越来越容易获得)”以及第三段中“These advancements are likely to fuel our current struggles with cyberbully.(这些进步可能会加剧我们目前与网络欺凌的斗争)”可知，技术既带来了便利，也加剧了网络欺凌的问题，由此可推断出，技术可能具有两面性，是一把双刃剑。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Despite the convenience brought by the social network, the issue of cyberbully has become so widespread that many individuals now hesitate to engage in online interactions.(尽管社交网络带来了便利，但网络欺凌问题已经变得如此普遍，以至于许多人现在对参与在线互动犹豫不决)”以及第二段中“By the time these “solutions” become widely accessible, cyberbullies will have adopted more complex strategies.(当这些“解决方案”被广泛使用时，网络恶霸将采用更复杂的策略)”可知，文章主要讨论了网络欺凌问题的日益严重性及其对在线互动的负面影响，故D项“网络欺凌日益严重的威胁”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 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。 Generosity is like the circulation of blood — healthiest and vibrant when flowing in both directions. In my youth, I knew an elderly relative whose kindness seemed boundless: she arrived with thoughtful gifts, cooked favorite meals, and sat by sickbeds with chicken soup. Yet she rigidly refused all favors, even a glass of water. “I give, but don’t take,” she’d say proudly. ____36____ Scientific research confirms the mutual joy of giving and receiving. In one experiment, participants performing small acts of kindness—holding doors, feeding parking meters, or gifting snacks — bring forth genuine “Duchenne smiles” (genuinely happy smiles) from the receivers nearly four times more often than unassisted strangers. ____37____ Similarly, a 2004 study further showed students assigned five weekly acts of kindness maintained higher happiness levels than those who did not engage. Logically, then, one way we can raise others’ well-being is by giving them opportunities to be kind and helpful. In a 2022 study, researchers revealed that people hesitate to ask strangers for help, because they assume this will cause inconvenience and annoy the person. ____38____ They saw it as less trouble, and enjoyed more mood enhancement. Balance, however, is crucial. Demanding excessive help — like asking to live in someone’s home — ruins goodwill. So does offering cash for favors like moving boxes for you. ____39____ To cultivate generosity, start by accepting small offers: a coffee, a helping hand. Then respond. When I once bought a homeless man food, I asked, “Will you pray for my family?” His shock melted into eagerness. This exchange honored his dignity, proving everyone has something to give — whether advice, prayers, or gratitude. Generosity’s true power lies in this circulation: give freely, receive gratefully, and repeat. ____40____ A. This one-sided approach, however, is deeply flawed. B. It promotes relationships only when flowing unblocked. C. Kindness grows on sincerity, not responsibilities or deals. D. The circulation of kindness benefits both givers and receivers. E. An unwillingness to accept kindnesses is a form of selfishness. F. Givers also reported immediate boosts in mood and life satisfaction. G. However, people who responded by helping proved more willing to assist. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给予善意和接受善意之间的联系。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Yet she rigidly refused all favors, even a glass of water. “I give, but don’t take,” she’d say proudly. (然而她拒绝了所有的帮助，甚至是一杯水。“我予而不取”她自豪地说)”和第二段第一句“Scientific research confirms the mutual joy of giving and receiving.(科学研究证实，给予与接受都能带来愉悦)”可知，如果只给予不接受是不完美的。A项“然而，这种片面的做法存在严重缺陷。”符合题意，指出上文“只给予不索取”的片面之处，引出下文关于给予与接受都能带来愉悦的话题。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“In one experiment, participants performing small acts of kindness—holding doors, feeding parking meters, or gifting snacks — bring forth genuine “Duchenne smiles” (genuinely happy smiles) from the receivers nearly four times more often than unassisted strangers.(在一项实验中，参与者做出开门、帮人付停车费或赠送零食等微小善举时，从受助者那里收获真诚的Duchenne smiles（发自内心的开心笑容）的频率，几乎是未提供帮助的陌生人的四倍)”可知，上文描述了做出善举的人会得到受助者发自内心的微笑。由此推知，空处可能继续描述做出善举的人的其他感受。F项“给予者还报告说，他们的情绪和生活满意度会立即得到提升。”符合语境，also表明上下文的并列关系。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Logically, then, one way we can raise others’ well-being is by giving them opportunities to be kind and helpful. In a 2022 study, researchers revealed that people hesitate to ask strangers for help, because they assume this will cause inconvenience and annoy the person.(因此，从逻辑上讲，我们提高他人幸福感的一种方式是给他们善良和乐于助人的机会。在2022年的一项研究中，研究人员透露，人们在向陌生人寻求帮助时犹豫不决，因为他们认为这会造成不便并惹恼对方)”可知，逻辑上，给他人提高幸福感的一种方式是给他们帮助别人的机会，但研究表明当人们在给陌生人“机会”时会担心给陌生人造成不便。由此推知，空处可能陈述真正的结果是什么。G项“然而，那些以提供帮助作为回应的人，后来表现出了更强的助人意愿。”符合语境，真正的结果是抓住“机会”帮助别人的人表现出了更强的助人意愿。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Balance, however, is crucial. Demanding excessive help — like asking to live in someone’s home — ruins goodwill. So does offering cash for favors like moving boxes for you. (然而，把握平衡至关重要。索要过多帮助 —— 比如要求住进别人家里 —— 会毁掉对方的善意；而因别人帮你搬箱子这类小事就主动给钱，同样会如此)”可知，过多的索要帮助或者用金钱回报很小的帮助都会破坏善意。由此可知，善意是建立在真诚而非责任或交易之上。C项“善意源于真诚，而非责任或交易。”符合语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Generosity’s true power lies in this circulation: give freely, receive gratefully, and repeat. (慷慨的真正力量在于这种循环：自由地给予，感激地接受，然后重复)”可知，善意是自然地给予以及感激地接受，然后重复，这是一种畅通的循环。因此B项“唯有当善意畅通无阻地流动时，它才能增进人际关系。”符合语境，是对上文内容的自然延续。故选B。 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。 One routine morning, I cleaned my fish tank, amazed at how much water had managed to evaporate (蒸发) in one week. Bryan and I decided to go to the pet store to get more fish. While waiting for busy clerks, we wandered to the bird area. Suddenly, something ____41____ happened: a small green bird in a full cage flew to the bars near us. To our surprise, it ____42____ us as we walked around the cage. When I gently reached toward it, instead of flying away like others, the bird ____43____ its head, silently asking for kindness. My heart melted, and I ____44____ to take it home immediately. We named him Indy. Remarkably, he became deeply ____45____ to us within hours. We let him outside where he ____46____ joyfully with fallen leaves, chasing small sticks across the ____47____ for two hours. Later, while I was showering inside, Bryan ____48____ called me outside. There lay Indy in his hand, body completely ____49____, unable to lift his head. Closer look showed a sad ____50____: Indy lacked the bottom half of his beak. Of course we did not notice this at the pet store. The little bird likely hadn’t eaten for days. We tried to offer him some soft food, but it just ____51____ right. Holding back tears, we sat on the bed, ____52____ touching his feathers. Then came a deep moment: Indy suddenly raised his head, ____53____ his wings fully like a bird taking flight, and quietly died. That night, I thought about life’s meaning. Perhaps Indy’s short life wasn’t about teaching me, but about finding love in his final moments — to leave ____54____ in caring hands, not left alone in a cold cage. This changed my view: events in our lives may help others’ journeys, and every living thing has a ____55____ purpose. 41. A. boring B. confusing C. shocking D. amazing 42.

As the other players cheered and headed for the locker room, one teammate joked, “Better get his autograph now — future national star!” David laughed, but inside, the words stirred a familiar dream: representing his country on the soccer field, just like his heroes. At 12, David had already learned the value of hard work. With his mother struggling to raise him and his twin sisters, he decided to buy his first pair of professional soccer sneakers on his own. For seven months, he woke early for a paper route and ran a lemonade stand during vacation. Finally, his piggy bank stuffed with enough savings for the neon-orange shoes he’d admired for weeks — shoes with “unbeatable grip (抓地力),” perfect for mastering those tricks on the field. “Mom, save your money for Tracy and Katie’s birthday party,” David insisted when his mother offered to help. “I want these shoes to be mine every cent earned by me.” His mother smiled, proud but weary, and he determined to make her proud on the field too. On the school bus ride home, David couldn’t contain his excitement. “Gabriel, tonight’s the night! I’m buying those sneakers after homework — want to come?” His classmate Gabriel, usually quiet, nodded with a faint smile. Suddenly, the bus jolted (颠簸) over a gap, and Gabriel’s shoe slid off — revealing a shabby, hole-dotted canvas with worn edges. David froze. The underside was practically coming off, the laces gone, and the fabric so worn it barely protected Gabriel’s feet. Gabriel hurried to grab the shoe, cheeks flushing red. “They… they’re still good,” he mumbled, avoiding David’s gaze. But David saw the truth: these shoes weren’t just old — they were unwearable. He thought of his own dream shoes waiting at the store, with their shining color and top design, and then looked at Gabriel’s shoes again. The bus continued rolling, but David barely heard it over the rapid pounding of his heartbeat. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 David stared at the unwearable shoes, his excitement fading into a heavy pause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Gabriel found a brightly wrapped package on his desk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 David stared at the unwearable shoes, his excitement fading into a heavy pause. He remembered his mother’s tired smile and her constant lessons about sharing kindness with others. Gabriel’s embarrassed expression and avoiding eyes, made his decision clear. The bright orange sneakers suddenly lost their importance. Quietly, he whispered, “Change of plans”. He imagined Gabriel’s feet safe and warm in proper shoes, protected from rain and cold. This felt right, even if it meant waiting many more months for his own dream. He knew helping a friend was worth the sacrifice. The next morning, Gabriel found a brightly wrapped package on his desk. Carefully opening it, he discovered a pair of strong, orange leather shoes inside. A simple note rested on top: “For a great teammate. From David.” Gabriel stared in disbelief, and then slowly looked across the classroom. David smiled shyly from his seat. Overwhelmed, Gabriel’s eyes were filled with grateful tears. He tried to whisper “thank you,” but no sound came out. Instead, he gave David a small, heartfelt nod, touching the new shoes gently. They were more than shoes; they were a warm gift of true kindness he would never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱足球的David靠自己努力攒钱买心仪的球鞋，却在得知同学Gabriel鞋子破旧不堪后，决定帮助他的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“David盯着那双破旧不堪的鞋子，他的兴奋渐渐消退，陷入了沉重的停顿。”可知，第一段可描写David回忆母亲的教诲，决定帮助Gabriel，放弃购买自己的梦想鞋子。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，Gabriel在他的桌子上发现了一个包装精美的包裹。”可知，第二段可描写Gabriel打开包裹，看到新鞋子后非常感动，向David表达感激之情。 2. 续写线索：David回忆母亲教诲——David决定帮助Gabriel——Gabriel发现新鞋子——Gabriel感激David 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①回忆：remember/recall ②小声说：whisper/murmur ③打开：open/unfold/unpack 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] This felt right, even if it meant waiting many more months for his own dream.
