Increasing urbanization, environmental concerns, and rapid technological advancements have forced cities and individuals alike to rethink how they travel. Today, commuters from diverse backgrounds encounter new challenges and opportunities resulting from innovative transportation models that prioritize efficiency, sustainability, and convenience. A data-driven approach reveals several noteworthy trends. Modal share diversification: The percentage of commuters walking, using bikes, ride-sharing, and public transportation has significantly increased. Reduced commute time: Integrating multi-modal transportation and optimized (优化的) routes is contributing to shorter travel time. Shifts influenced by population: Younger generations, in particular, favor flexible commuting solutions over traditional car ownership. Consider the following table, which summarizes data trends from several major cities: City Increase in Alternative Transport(%) Decrease in Car Dependence(%) Average Commute Time(mins) New York City 25 15 35 London 30 20 32 Tokyo 20 10 28 Berlin 27 18 31 In response to heavy traffic in urban areas and changing lifestyle preferences, many cities have seen an increase in non-traditional transportation models: Bicycles and e-bikes: These environmentally friendly alternatives not only reduce emissions but also contribute to overall public health improvements. Ride-sharing services: Companies like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized short-distance travel, offering convenient, on-demand rides that help supplement public transportation. Carpooling and micro-transit: Innovations in scheduling and routing have led to more efficient carpooling models, reducing the number of vehicles on the road. Scooters and electric skateboards: Particularly popular in highly populated urban areas, these models provide flexible, cost-effective mobility solutions for short trips. As young generations continue to dominate urban spaces, the preference for flexible and technology-integrated transportation models is more pronounced. And with rising costs associated with car ownership, alternatives like ride-sharing and public transportation become increasingly attractive. These trends highlight the complexity behind daily commuting choices and suggest preparedness to adapt as urban landscapes shift. 21. How do commuters save their time spent on the way? A. By adopting on-demand mobility services. B. By combining varied commuting models. C. By employing real-time route optimization technology. D. By integrating traditional and innovative transportation vehicles. 22. Which city witnesses the largest reduction in dependence on cars? A. New York City. B. Tokyo. C. Berlin. D. London. 23. What accounts for some commuters’ preference for ride-sharing and public transportation? A. Limited budgets for maintaining a car. B. The popularity of electric skateboards. C. The desire to improve personal fitness. D. Reduced population in urban areas. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了目前通勤方式的变化和趋势，列出了数据并分析了背后的原因。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reduced commute time部分的“Integrating multi-modal transportation and optimized (优化的) routes is contributing to shorter travel time. (整合多种交通方式并优化路线有助于缩短出行时间)”可知，融合多种交通模式和优化路线可以减少通勤时间。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Decrease in Car Dependence(%)”一列可知, 纽约市(15%)、伦敦(20%)、东京(10%)、柏林(18%)，由此可知伦敦的汽车依赖减少幅度(20%)最大。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“And with rising costs associated with car ownership, alternatives like ride-sharing and public transportation become increasingly attractive.(而且随着汽车拥有成本的不断上升，诸如拼车和公共交通等替代方式变得愈发具有吸引力)”可知，通勤者偏好拼车和公共交通的原因是“汽车拥有成本上升”，即有限的购买汽车的预算是人们选择拼车和公共交通的原因。故选A。 B My parents were both journalists. Mom faced challenges in her career mostly due to her straightforward style. When Dad was transferred by the Washington Post to Hong Kong, the L. A. Times decided not to assign her there. After a year at the Asian Wall Street Journal, where she and Dad each excelled in their roles, the L. A. Times rehired her. Back at the Times, she tried to advance in editing but often held deputy positions as he pursued higher roles. She later moved to ABC News and other companies, taking on major roles, though not the top ones. Colleagues valued her skills and work ethic, while some found her direct approach notable. She firmly believed honesty, even unpleasant honesty, was essential for journalism. I ended up becoming the sort of journalist she was, skeptical about everything, always asking questions, and direct with bosses. Career opportunities took me east for a few years, but I returned to California, just as she had. She loved the place, because it was warm and she could be herself. So did I. My mom never left behind her large extended family. And she encouraged me to write about all the dusty, mostly ignored places where our relatives lived. Taking her advice to heart, I traveled extensively, frequently staying on family couches and spare beds along the way. These experiences allowed me to become fully absorbed in these communities and see them through love and local understanding. Until recently, my mom would give me feedback on stories; she could be a tough critic, so I always worked harder on stories, knowing that she would read them. Now she has Alzheimer’s. With my dad’s great assistance, she remains active, still showing up for family events and for my children’s baseball games. She copes with the disease in a familiar way, by constantly asking us skeptical questions. With every question, I feel her love. 24. What can be learned about the author’s mother from paragraph 1? A. Her character was a barrier to promotion. B. She established a good relationship with her coworkers. C. Her reporting style was constantly praised by her leaders. D. She prioritized family commitments over career advancement. 25 What motivated the author to move back to California? A. The need to attend to her parents. B. The pursuit of a better job in the news industry. C. The desire to live up to her parents’ expectations. D. The attraction of its climate and culture of personal freedom. 26. How did the author’s travel to the overlooked places influence her? A. It helped deepen her insight. B. It provided writing materials for her. C. It strengthened her bond with her family. D. It enabled her to receive professional recognition. 27. What message does the text deliver? A. Journalists often face difficulties in their career. B. A mother’s values can have a lasting impact on her child. C. Family support is of vital importance in addressing health challenges. D. The working environment plays a decisive role in attracting young talents. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的母亲作为一名新闻从业者的经历及其对作者的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mom faced challenges in her career mostly due to her straightforward style.(妈妈在职业生涯中遭遇的种种困难，主要是因为她那种直截了当的行事风格所致)”以及“Back at the Times, she tried to advance in editing but often held deputy positions as he pursued higher roles.(回到《洛杉矶时报》后，她试图提升自己的编辑职位，但往往只能担任副职，而他则不断晋升到更重要的职位)”可知，母亲的性格影响了她在事业上的晋升。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Career opportunities look me east for a few years, but I returned to California, just as she had. She loved the place, because it was warm and she could be herself. So did I.(在东部地区我找到了一些工作机会，但几年后我还是回到了加利福尼亚。就像她一样，我也回到了这里。她喜欢这个地方，因为这里气候温暖，而且她能做回自己。我也是这么想的)”可知，作者回到加利福尼亚是因为她像母亲一样喜欢它温暖的气候和能够做自己的自由。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These experiences allowed me to become fully absorbed in these communities and see them through love and local understanding.(这些经历使我能够全身心地融入这些社区，并以爱与对当地情况的了解来观察它们)”可知，到这些被忽略的地方的旅行改变了作者看待这些社区的方式，即加深了她对这些地方的了解。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕“母亲”展开，先讲述母亲的职业经历和坚守的原则，再依次说明母亲对作者的影响——职业上，作者成为和母亲一样的记者，充满怀疑精神、爱提问、对老板直率；生活上，作者像母亲一样回到加州；写作上，作者听从母亲建议前往亲戚居住地旅行，改变了看待社区的视角；甚至母亲曾对作者的稿件提出严格批评，促使作者更努力。这些都表明母亲的价值观对孩子有很大的影响。故选B。 C A spacecraft, BepiColombo, recently sent back some of the best close-up pictures yet of the north pole of the planet Mercury. It traveled a hard journey, going as close as 295 kilometers above Mercury’s night side. The spacecraft then passed directly over the planet’s north pole, catching invaluable images. The European Space Agency (ESA) released these amazing images. They clearly show craters (陨石坑) on our solar system’s smallest planet, Mereury, with deep shades creating an air of mystery. Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, these dark craters count as some of the coldest spots across the solar system. Cameras on the spacecraft also took clear images of neighboring volcanic plains known as Borealis Planitia. The ESA noted that these were Mercury’s broadest region of smooth plains and were formed by the widespread eruption of lava (岩浆) 3.7 billion years ago. Also noticeably appearing in the images announced by the ESA is Mercury’s largest impact crater, the Caloris Basin. It is more than 1,500 kilometers across and has mile-high mountains. This has been the sixth and final flyby of Mercury for the BepiColombo spacecraft since it was sent into space in 2018. The recent move has put the BepiColombo spacecraft on a path to enter orbit around Mercury late next year. The spacecraft holds two orbiters from Europe that will circle the planet’s poles, ready to further explore this mysterious planet. In a statement on its website, the ESA noted that Mercury, a small, dry planet, is “the least explored planet of the inner solar system. Learning more about Mercury will throw light on the history of the entire solar system.” The spacecraft is named after the late Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo, an Italian mathematician. Colombo played an important part in NASA’s Mariner 10 task to Mercury in the 1970s and, 20 years later, in the Italian Space Agency’s special project that flew on a U. S. spacecraft. His contributions have been very important in the exploration of Mercury. 28. What does the author say about the craters on Mercury? A. They lie on Mercury’s sunny side. B They were formed by volcanic eruptions. C. They are signs that there exists air on Mercury. D. They rank among the coldest places in the solar system. 29. What does the ESA think of exploring Mercury? A. Meaningful. B. Smooth. C. Fruitless. D. Costly. 30. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To emphasize Italy’s role in exploring Mercury. B. To display the tasks completed by the spacecraft. C. To add extra information related to the spacecraft. D. To demonstrate human efforts in space exploration. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Formation of Mercury Is Being Uncovered B. Spacecraft Takes Clearest Photos of Mercury’s Pole C. Craters on Mercury Help Understand Climate Change D. Colombo Explores the Smallest Planet in Solar System 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人类对水星北极的探索。一艘宇宙飞船最近传回了一些目前为止水星北极最清晰的特写照片。它经历了一段艰难的旅程，在距离水星暗面仅295千米的高度飞行，随后直接飞越了水星北极，并捕捉到了珍贵的图像。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, these dark craters count as some of the coldest spots across the solar system. (尽管水星是距离太阳最近的行星，但这些暗色的陨石坑却是太阳系中一些最寒冷的地方。)”可知，这些黑暗的陨石坑是太阳系中最冷的地方之一。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中ESA官网声明“In a statement on its website, the ESA noted that Mercury, a small, dry planet, is “the least explored planet of the inner solar system. Learning more about Mercury will throw light on the history of the entire solar system.”(欧洲航天局在其网站上发表的一份声明中指出，水星这颗体积小且表面干燥的行星是“太阳系内层行星中探索程度最低的行星。对水星的进一步了解将有助于揭示整个太阳系的历史。”)”可推知，ESA认为探索水星对了解太阳系历史有重要意义。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通读最后一段“The spacecraft is named after the late Giuseppe(Bepi)Colombo, an Italian mathematician. Colombo played an important part in NASA’s Mariner 10 task to Mercury in the 1970s and, 20 years later, in the Italian Space Agency’s special project that flew on a U. S. spacecraft. His contributions have been very important in the exploration of Mercury. (这艘宇宙飞船是以已故的朱塞佩·科洛莫（贝皮）的名字命名的，他是位意大利数学家。科洛莫在 20 世纪 70 年代美国“水手 10 号”飞往水星的任务中发挥了重要作用，20 年后，他又参与了意大利航天局的一项特殊项目，该项目搭载在美国的航天器上进行。他的贡献在对水星的探索中意义重大。)”可知，本段介绍了该宇宙飞船名称的由来，并提及数学家Giuseppe Colombo在20世纪70年代美国宇航局的任务及其贡献，丰富读者对该宇宙飞船的理解，属于信息的补充。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段内容“A spacecraft, BepiColombo, recently sent back some of the best close-up pictures yet of the north pole of the planet Mercury. It traveled a hard journey, going as close as 295 kilometers above Mercury’s night side. The spacecraft then passed directly over the planet’s north pole, catching invaluable images. (一艘名为“贝皮科隆博”的宇宙飞船近期传回了一些迄今为止关于水星北极最清晰的特写照片。该飞船历经艰难旅程，曾飞至距离水星夜面仅 295 公里的位置。随后，飞船直接飞越水星北极，捕捉到了极为珍贵的图像。)”可推断，全文围绕BepiColombo航天器拍摄水星北极的高清图像展开，介绍了图像内容、航天器任务及命名背景。故 B 项“航天器拍摄水星北极最清晰的照片”适合作为文章标题。A项提到水星的形成，文章主要关注照片和探索，不是形成过程（文章提到火山平原是由岩浆喷发形成的，但这不是主题）；C项文章提到水星上的陨石坑是太阳系中最冷的地方之一，没有联系到气候变化；D项文章是关于航天器的，它以Colombo命名，但探索是由航天器进行的，不是Colombo本人。故选B。 D With global life expectancy now over 70 years old, we need to change how we age, not how long we age. So begins a longevity revolution (长寿革命) — one focused on slowing the ageing process so that lives aren’t just longer but also healthier for longer. But this requires a transformation in our health system and careers as well as individual psychology. It also demands a shift in scientific focus away from individual diseases and towards a greater understanding of the biology of ageing. Increasing life expectancy has changed the global burden of disease. The top 10 causes of death have a common risk factor: age. If we could find a way to slow down biological ageing, we could potentially impact multiple diseases. But achieving this requires changing how we think about ageing — it means accepting that the biology of ageing is a mainstream line of scientific inquiry. This shift also requires recognizing that ageing is not inexorable. We often draw a distinction between health and the consequences of ageing, assuming the latter are natural phenomena. That thinking reflects past success in treating diseases. But we now need to apply that progress to tackling how we age and remember the words of French philosopher Michel — to die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and therefore so much less natural than the others. A focus on ageing and ageing-related diseases also leads to something unique: When progress was made in treating infant (婴儿) diseases, infant deaths fell, so research moved on to the diseases of middle age. Breakthroughs there led to fewer midlife deaths, and so science shifted to focus on ageing-related diseases. But the better we get at ageing, the more older people there will be and the more valuable further gains will be. When we are ill in our 90s, living into our 100s has little appeal. But if we can be healthy 90-year-olds, then we want to live for even longer, thus opening up the possibility of living to ages far greater than ever before. 32. What can we know about the longevity revolution? A. It aims at finding a cure for age-related problems. B. It focuses on improving the quality of life as we age. C. It calls for governmental policy to promote healthcare. D. It may increase the human lifespan beyond the current record. 33. What is the meaning of the underlined word “inexorable” in paragraph 4? A. Groundless. B. Exceptional. C. Unavoidable. D. Unpredictable. 34. Why does the author quote Michel’s words? A. To prove death is a natural phenomenon. B. To justify the changeable character of ageing. C. To show the rare chance of dying at an old age. D. To stress our understanding of ageing needs changing. 35. What does the author imply about the future of longevity research? A. Its target should be middle-aged diseases. B. Its main value lies in reducing elder care costs. C. It may create a positive cycle of health promotion. D. It will eventually find a natural limit of human lifespan. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“长寿革命”这一概念, 强调长寿革命不仅是延长寿命, 更重要的是提高老年生活质量, 还阐述了实现长寿革命需要在健康系统、科学研究重点等方面做出转变, 以及长寿研究对未来的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“So begins a longevity revolution (长寿革命) — one focused on slowing the ageing process so that lives aren’t just longer but also healthier for longer. (于是，一场长寿革命就此拉开帷幕——这场革命旨在延缓衰老进程，以使人们的寿命不仅更长，而且能更长久地保持健康状态。)”可知，长寿革命关注的是减缓衰老过程，使人们不仅活得更长，而且更健康, 也就是提高人们衰老过程中的生活质量。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“We often draw a distinction between health and the consequences of ageing, assuming the latter are natural phenomena. (我们通常会将健康与衰老所带来的后果区分开来，认为后者属于自然现象。)”可知，我们通常认为衰老的后果是自然现象，而“This shift also requires recognizing that ageing is not…”表明“这种转变需要认识到衰老不是___________”由此可推测inexorable意思是“不可避免的”，与unavoidable意思相近。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。作者引用Michel 的话“to die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and therefore so much less natural than the others (因年老而死亡是一种极为罕见、独特且与众不同的死亡方式，因此与其他类型的死亡相比，它显得更加不自然。)”可知，因年老而逝是一种罕见的、非凡的、独特的死法，因此它不比其他死法来得自然，因此推断提及Michel的话是为了对照上文的观点，表明我们对衰老的看法需要改变，能再将衰老的后果视为自然现象。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But the better we get at ageing, the more older people there will be and the more valuable further gains will be. When we are ill in our 90s, living into our 100s has little appeal. But if we can be healthy 90-year-olds, then we want to live for even longer, thus opening up the possibility of living to ages far greater than ever before. (但我们对衰老过程的了解越深入，老年人口就会越多，而进一步的收获也会越有价值。当我们到了90多岁生病的时候，活到100岁就没什么吸引力了。但如果我们能成为90岁时依然健康的老人，那么我们就会希望活得更久，从而开启了一种可能，即活到远比以往任何时候都要长寿的年龄。)”可知，我们在衰老方面做得越好，老年人就会越多，进一步的收益就会越有价值，健康的老年人会希望活得更长，这就形成了一个促进健康的良性循环。故选C。 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Popular for being cost-effective, face yoga can be found all over social media, with some influencers promising a “natural facelift” effect capable of toning, slimming and reducing fine lines on the face. ___36___ “The face is made up of layers of skin, fat and muscles sitting on top of the skull (颅骨). Under the top layer of skin, there is a layer of fat sitting on top of the muscles,” explained Dr. Anetta Reszko, a clinical assistant professor. “ ___37___ But over time, as we age, or if we don’t use those muscles, they can decline. Moving and stretching the face for a while every day could help restore some shape to the face.” Dr. Reszko carried out a study to test this face yoga hypothesis (假说). Improved facial fullness among 16 participants is observed after 20 weeks. “The place where we noticed the biggest change was the cheeks, and that makes sense, because the cheek muscles are among the largest facial muscles. ___38___ However, due to the limited sample size and lack of direct measurements, further clinical trials would be needed to confirm this volumizing effect.” For Hagen, a face yoga instructor, this exercise is more than just a workout. ___39___ . “Some people may approach it differently, but anything that can make you feel calm and better is admissible.” ___40___ If someone is serious about taking up a daily face yoga routine, Dr. Reszko suggests avoiding stretching the delicate under-eye area, which tends to be thinner and more sensitive. For more dramatic interventions like firming wrinkles or treating acne (粉刺), she recommends getting the advice of a board-certified doctor. A. It’s a way to be more in tune with one’s mind. B. Besides, how much is face yoga backed by science? C. Some people are concerned about the effect of face yoga. D. It’s also necessary to mind the possible harm of face yoga. E. The fat and the muscles work together to give the face volume. F. But how much are these promised benefits a stretch of the truth? G. If you exercise them, the growth of them is going to be the most noticeable. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. G 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了面部瑜伽的好处及其潜在风险。 【36题详解】 上文“Popular for being cost-effective, face yoga can be found all over social media, with some influencers promising a “natural facelift” effect capable of toning, slimming and reducing fine lines on the face(因其性价比高而广受欢迎的“面部瑜伽”在各大社交媒体上随处可见，一些网红声称其能带来“自然的面部紧致”效果，能够使脸部线条紧致、变瘦并减少细纹)”提到面部瑜伽受追捧且博主承诺“自然瘦脸”等功效， F项“但这些所承诺的益处究竟有多少是真实的呢？”以“But“转折，质疑这些承诺是否夸大，衔接“功效宣传”并引出下文对其功效真实性的探讨。故选F。 【37题详解】 上文““The face is made up of layers of skin, fat and muscles sitting on top of the skull (颅骨). Under the top layer of skin, there is a layer of fat sitting on top of the muscles,” explained Dr. Anetta Reszko, a clinical assistant professor.( “脸是由位于头骨顶部的皮肤、脂肪和肌肉层组成的。在皮肤的最外层之下，有一层脂肪层位于肌肉之上，”安娜塔·雷什科博士解释道，她是临床助理教授)”讲面部由皮肤、脂肪、肌肉构成，E项“脂肪和肌肉共同作用，使脸部呈现出立体感。”说明“脂肪与肌肉共同维持面部饱满”，承接上文，也为下文“But over time, as we age, or if we don’t use those muscles, they can decline.(但随着时间的推移，当我们步入老年，或者如果我们不使用这些肌肉，它们就会逐渐衰退)”做铺垫。故选E。 【38题详解】 上文“The place where we noticed the biggest change was the cheeks, and that makes sense, because the cheek muscles are among the largest facial muscles.(我们注意到变化最大的部位是脸颊，这也很正常，因为脸颊周围的肌肉是面部最大的肌肉之一)”说脸颊变化最明显(因脸颊肌肉大)， G项“如果你对它们进行锻炼，它们的生长情况将会是最明显的。”解释“锻炼脸颊肌肉，其变化会最显著”，呼应“脸颊变化明显”的原因。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“For Hagen, a face yoga instructor, this exercise is more than just a workout.(对于哈根这位面部瑜伽教练来说，这种锻炼远不止是一次锻炼活动那么简单)”提到面部瑜伽“不只是锻炼”，A项“这是一种让自己更与内心保持一致的方式。”补充“还是与内心契合的方式”，体现额外价值，且与下文“Some people may approach it differently, but anything that can make you feel calm and better is admissible(有些人可能会有不同的看法，但任何能让你感到平静和心情好转的事情都是可以接受的)”中的“让人平静”呼应。故选A。 【40题详解】 下文“If someone is serious about taking up a daily face yoga routine, Dr. Reszko suggests avoiding stretching the delicate under-eye area, which tends to be thinner and more sensitive. For more dramatic interventions like firming wrinkles or treating acne (粉刺), she recommends getting the advice of a board-certified doctor(如果有人真心想要养成每天进行面部瑜伽锻炼的习惯，雷斯科医生建议不要对眼部周围脆弱的肌肤区域进行拉伸，因为该区域通常较为纤薄且更为敏感。而对于诸如紧致皱纹或治疗粉刺这类更为显著的处理方式，她则建议向获得专业认证的医生咨询)”指出医生提醒“避免拉伸眼周”“强效改善需咨询医生”，D项“关注面部瑜伽可能的危害”总领段落，引出下文风险提示。故选D。 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, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Marissa Phillips shared a dream with almost every other young girl around her: to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

His clothes were old and torn, and his shoes had holes that let in the rain. Tom lived in a tiny room above a noisy cafe, where he worked washing dishes for a few coins each day. Life was hard, but Tom had a dream: he wanted to own a bakery, filling the streets with the warm smell of fresh bread. Tom’s parents passed away when he was young, leaving him with nothing but a kind heart and a strong will. Every night, after cleaning the cafe’s pots, he sat by a flickering candle and read books about baking. He borrowed these books from Mrs. Green, the village librarian, who saw something special in Tom’s bright eyes. One day, a poster appeared in the village square. It announced a baking competition in London, with a grand prize of £10,000. Tom’s heart raced. This could be his chance! But the journey to London cost money, and Tom had none. He worked extra hours, saved every penny, and even sold his only coat to buy a train ticket. When the day came, Tom boarded the train with a small bag and a nervous smile. In London, the competition was held in a huge hall filled with the best bakers from across England. Tom felt small among them. He had no fancy tools, just an old wooden spoon and a recipe he’d created himself, a soft, golden loaf with herbs from the village fields. His hands shook as he mixed flour, water, and yeast (酵母). The shake resulted from not just his nervousness, but also the coldness. After what seemed to be a century, Tom finally completed his herb loaf. All the baked bread and cakes were presented to the judges. The judges tasted them carefully. Hours passed, and Tom’s stomach twisted with worry. It seemed hard for him to make it through the announcement of the winner, both psychologically and physically. Before the judges announced the winner, Tom’s eyes accidentally met a familiar figure’s eyes — Mrs. Green was among the audience! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mrs. Green was holding a coat and waving her hands at Tom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the prize money, Tom opened a small bakery in his village. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mrs. Green was holding a coat and waving her hands at Tom. Tom was rather surprised that Mrs. Green, who was the nicest librarian in Tom’s eyes, would come here to watch his competition. The support from his village gave him great confidence, a warm current flowing through his mind. “The winner,” the judges said, “is Tom Harper, for his simple yet extraordinary herb loaf!” The crowd cheered and Tom’s eyes were filled with tears. Mrs. Green raced to Tom and they hugged each other closely and later they happily went back to the village. With the prize money, Tom opened a small bakery in his village. Tom worked very hard and he even got up at dawn to bake. Word spread about his delicious bread and soon, people came from miles away. Tom donated bread to the poor and shared his story to inspire others. “Hard work and kindness can change your life,” he told them. Mrs. Green visited often, sipping tea and saying, “I knew you’d make it, Tom.” Years passed, and Tom has built more than a business but a life of purpose, proving that dreams, hard work, and kindness could turn rags into riches. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索，讲述贫困青年Tom通过烘焙比赛逆袭，实现面包店梦想并回馈社区的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句“格林夫人手里拿着一件外套，正朝着汤姆挥动着手臂。”可知，本段可描述比赛结果宣布、奖金获取，目标达成的经过和格林夫人以及汤姆的反应。 ②由第二段首句“凭借这笔奖金，汤姆在自己的村庄开了一家小面包店。”可知，本段可描述汤姆实现梦想，帮助他人，回报恩人，生意兴隆，最终取得事业成功。 2 续写线索 比赛现场——获得支持——意外获胜——得到奖金——开店筹备——生意兴隆——回报他人 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②传播：spread/go viral/go around 情绪类 ①感动：be filled with tears/welling up with tears/with tears in one’s eyes ③快乐地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tom was rather surprised that Mrs. Green, who was the nicest librarian in Tom’s eyes, would come here to watch his competition.（运用了that引导宾语从句，who引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】The support from his village gave him great confidence, a warm current flowing through his mind.（运用了独立主格） 【高分句型3】Years passed, and Tom has built more than a business but a life of purpose, proving that dreams, hard work, and kindness could turn rags into riches.（运用了现在分词作状语和宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保密★启用前 高三英语 考生注意: 1. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上, 并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用铅笔把答题卡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, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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2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?

Increasing urbanization, environmental concerns, and rapid technological advancements have forced cities and individuals alike to rethink how they travel. Today, commuters from diverse backgrounds encounter new challenges and opportunities resulting from innovative transportation models that prioritize efficiency, sustainability, and convenience. A data-driven approach reveals several noteworthy trends. Modal share diversification: The percentage of commuters walking, using bikes, ride-sharing, and public transportation has significantly increased. Reduced commute time: Integrating multi-modal transportation and optimized (优化的) routes is contributing to shorter travel time. Shifts influenced by population: Younger generations, in particular, favor flexible commuting solutions over traditional car ownership. Consider the following table, which summarizes data trends from several major cities: City Increase in Alternative Transport(%) Decrease in Car Dependence(%) Average Commute Time(mins) New York City 25 15 35 London 30 20 32 Tokyo 20 10 28 Berlin 27 18 31 In response to heavy traffic in urban areas and changing lifestyle preferences, many cities have seen an increase in non-traditional transportation models: Bicycles and e-bikes: These environmentally friendly alternatives not only reduce emissions but also contribute to overall public health improvements. Ride-sharing services: Companies like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized short-distance travel, offering convenient, on-demand rides that help supplement public transportation. Carpooling and micro-transit: Innovations in scheduling and routing have led to more efficient carpooling models, reducing the number of vehicles on the road. Scooters and electric skateboards: Particularly popular in highly populated urban areas, these models provide flexible, cost-effective mobility solutions for short trips. As young generations continue to dominate urban spaces, the preference for flexible and technology-integrated transportation models is more pronounced. And with rising costs associated with car ownership, alternatives like ride-sharing and public transportation become increasingly attractive. These trends highlight the complexity behind daily commuting choices and suggest preparedness to adapt as urban landscapes shift. 21. How do commuters save their time spent on the way? A. By adopting on-demand mobility services. B. By combining varied commuting models. C. By employing real-time route optimization technology. D. By integrating traditional and innovative transportation vehicles. 22. Which city witnesses the largest reduction in dependence on cars? A. New York City. B. Tokyo. C. Berlin. D. London. 23. What accounts for some commuters’ preference for ride-sharing and public transportation? A. Limited budgets for maintaining a car. B. The popularity of electric skateboards. C. The desire to improve personal fitness. D. Reduced population in urban areas. B My parents were both journalists. Mom faced challenges in her career mostly due to her straightforward style. When Dad was transferred by the Washington Post to Hong Kong, the L. A. Times decided not to assign her there. After a year at the Asian Wall Street Journal, where she and Dad each excelled in their roles, the L. A. Times rehired her. Back at the Times, she tried to advance in editing but often held deputy positions as he pursued higher roles. She later moved to ABC News and other companies, taking on major roles, though not the top ones. Colleagues valued her skills and work ethic, while some found her direct approach notable. She firmly believed honesty, even unpleasant honesty, was essential for journalism. I ended up becoming the sort of journalist she was, skeptical about everything, always asking questions, and direct with bosses. Career opportunities took me east for a few years, but I returned to California, just as she had. She loved the place, because it was warm and she could be herself. So did I. My mom never left behind her large extended family. And she encouraged me to write about all the dusty, mostly ignored places where our relatives lived. Taking her advice to heart, I traveled extensively, frequently staying on family couches and spare beds along the way. These experiences allowed me to become fully absorbed in these communities and see them through love and local understanding. Until recently, my mom would give me feedback on stories; she could be a tough critic, so I always worked harder on stories, knowing that she would read them. Now she has Alzheimer’s. With my dad’s great assistance, she remains active, still showing up for family events and for my children’s baseball games. She copes with the disease in a familiar way, by constantly asking us skeptical questions. With every question, I feel her love. 24. What can be learned about the author’s mother from paragraph 1? A. Her character was a barrier to promotion. B. She established a good relationship with her coworkers. C. Her reporting style was constantly praised by her leaders. D. She prioritized family commitments over career advancement. 25. What motivated the author to move back to California? A. The need to attend to her parents. B. The pursuit of a better job in the news industry. C. The desire to live up to her parents’ expectations. D. The attraction of its climate and culture of personal freedom. 26. How did the author’s travel to the overlooked places influence her? A. It helped deepen her insight. B. It provided writing materials for her. C. It strengthened her bond with her family. D. It enabled her to receive professional recognition. 27. What message does the text deliver? A. Journalists often face difficulties in their career. B. A mother’s values can have a lasting impact on her child. C. Family support is of vital importance in addressing health challenges. D. The working environment plays a decisive role in attracting young talents. C A spacecraft, BepiColombo, recently sent back some of the best close-up pictures yet of the north pole of the planet Mercury. It traveled a hard journey, going as close as 295 kilometers above Mercury’s night side. The spacecraft then passed directly over the planet’s north pole, catching invaluable images. The European Space Agency (ESA) released these amazing images. They clearly show craters (陨石坑) on our solar system’s smallest planet, Mereury, with deep shades creating an air of mystery. Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, these dark craters count as some of the coldest spots across the solar system. Cameras on the spacecraft also took clear images of neighboring volcanic plains known as Borealis Planitia. The ESA noted that these were Mercury’s broadest region of smooth plains and were formed by the widespread eruption of lava (岩浆) 3.7 billion years ago. Also noticeably appearing in the images announced by the ESA is Mercury’s largest impact crater, the Caloris Basin. It is more than 1,500 kilometers across and has mile-high mountains. This has been the sixth and final flyby of Mercury for the BepiColombo spacecraft since it was sent into space in 2018. The recent move has put the BepiColombo spacecraft on a path to enter orbit around Mercury late next year. The spacecraft holds two orbiters from Europe that will circle the planet’s poles, ready to further explore this mysterious planet. In a statement on its website, the ESA noted that Mercury, a small, dry planet, is “the least explored planet of the inner solar system. Learning more about Mercury will throw light on the history of the entire solar system.” The spacecraft is named after the late Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo, an Italian mathematician. Colombo played an important part in NASA’s Mariner 10 task to Mercury in the 1970s and, 20 years later, in the Italian Space Agency’s special project that flew on a U. S. spacecraft. His contributions have been very important in the exploration of Mercury. 28. What does the author say about the craters on Mercury? A. They lie on Mercury’s sunny side. B. They were formed by volcanic eruptions. C. They are signs that there exists air on Mercury. D. They rank among the coldest places in the solar system. 29. What does the ESA think of exploring Mercury? A. Meaningful. B. Smooth. C. Fruitless. D. Costly. 30. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To emphasize Italy’s role in exploring Mercury. B. To display the tasks completed by the spacecraft. C. To add extra information related to the spacecraft. D. To demonstrate human efforts in space exploration. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Formation of Mercury Is Being Uncovered B. Spacecraft Takes Clearest Photos of Mercury’s Pole C. Craters on Mercury Help Understand Climate Change D. Colombo Explores the Smallest Planet in Solar System D With global life expectancy now over 70 years old, we need to change how we age, not how long we age. So begins a longevity revolution (长寿革命) — one focused on slowing the ageing process so that lives aren’t just longer but also healthier for longer. But this requires a transformation in our health system and careers as well as individual psychology. It also demands a shift in scientific focus away from individual diseases and towards a greater understanding of the biology of ageing. Increasing life expectancy has changed the global burden of disease. The top 10 causes of death have a common risk factor: age. If we could find a way to slow down biological ageing, we could potentially impact multiple diseases. But achieving this requires changing how we think about ageing — it means accepting that the biology of ageing is a mainstream line of scientific inquiry. This shift also requires recognizing that ageing is not inexorable. We often draw a distinction between health and the consequences of ageing, assuming the latter are natural phenomena. That thinking reflects past success in treating diseases. But we now need to apply that progress to tackling how we age and remember the words of French philosopher Michel — to die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and therefore so much less natural than the others. A focus on ageing and ageing-related diseases also leads to something unique: When progress was made in treating infant (婴儿) diseases, infant deaths fell, so research moved on to the diseases of middle age. Breakthroughs there led to fewer midlife deaths, and so science shifted to focus on ageing-related diseases. But the better we get at ageing, the more older people there will be and the more valuable further gains will be. When we are ill in our 90s, living into our 100s has little appeal. But if we can be healthy 90-year-olds, then we want to live for even longer, thus opening up the possibility of living to ages far greater than ever before. 32. What can we know about the longevity revolution? A. It aims at finding a cure for age-related problems. B. It focuses on improving the quality of life as we age. C It calls for governmental policy to promote healthcare. D. It may increase the human lifespan beyond the current record. 33. What is the meaning of the underlined word “inexorable” in paragraph 4? A. Groundless. B. Exceptional. C. Unavoidable. D. Unpredictable. 34. Why does the author quote Michel’s words? A. To prove death is a natural phenomenon. B. To justify the changeable character of ageing. C. To show the rare chance of dying at an old age. D. To stress our understanding of ageing needs changing. 35. What does the author imply about the future of longevity research? A. Its target should be middle-aged diseases. B. Its main value lies in reducing elder care costs. C. It may create a positive cycle of health promotion. D. It will eventually find a natural limit of human lifespan. 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Popular for being cost-effective, face yoga can be found all over social media, with some influencers promising a “natural facelift” effect capable of toning, slimming and reducing fine lines on the face. ___36___ “The face is made up of layers of skin, fat and muscles sitting on top of the skull (颅骨). Under the top layer of skin, there is a layer of fat sitting on top of the muscles,” explained Dr. Anetta Reszko, a clinical assistant professor. “ ___37___ But over time, as we age, or if we don’t use those muscles, they can decline. Moving and stretching the face for a while every day could help restore some shape to the face.” Dr. Reszko carried out a study to test this face yoga hypothesis (假说). Improved facial fullness among 16 participants is observed after 20 weeks. “The place where we noticed the biggest change was the cheeks, and that makes sense, because the cheek muscles are among the largest facial muscles. ___38___ However, due to the limited sample size and lack of direct measurements, further clinical trials would be needed to confirm this volumizing effect.” For Hagen, a face yoga instructor, this exercise is more than just a workout. ___39___ . “Some people may approach it differently, but anything that can make you feel calm and better is admissible.” ___40___ If someone is serious about taking up a daily face yoga routine, Dr. Reszko suggests avoiding stretching the delicate under-eye area, which tends to be thinner and more sensitive. For more dramatic interventions like firming wrinkles or treating acne (粉刺), she recommends getting the advice of a board-certified doctor. A. It’s a way to be more in tune with one’s mind. B. Besides, how much is face yoga backed by science? C. Some people are concerned about the effect of face yoga. D. It’s also necessary to mind the possible harm of face yoga. E. The fat and the muscles work together to give the face volume. F. But how much are these promised benefits a stretch of the truth? G. If you exercise them, the growth of them is going to be the most noticeable. 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, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Marissa Phillips shared a dream with almost every other young girl around her: to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

His clothes were old and torn, and his shoes had holes that let in the rain. Tom lived in a tiny room above a noisy cafe, where he worked washing dishes for a few coins each day. Life was hard, but Tom had a dream: he wanted to own a bakery, filling the streets with the warm smell of fresh bread. Tom’s parents passed away when he was young, leaving him with nothing but a kind heart and a strong will. Every night, after cleaning the cafe’s pots, he sat by a flickering candle and read books about baking. He borrowed these books from Mrs. Green, the village librarian, who saw something special in Tom’s bright eyes. One day, a poster appeared in the village square. It announced a baking competition in London, with a grand prize of £10,000. Tom’s heart raced. This could be his chance! But the journey to London cost money, and Tom had none. He worked extra hours, saved every penny, and even sold his only coat to buy a train ticket. When the day came, Tom boarded the train with a small bag and a nervous smile. In London, the competition was held in a huge hall filled with the best bakers from across England. Tom felt small among them. He had no fancy tools, just an old wooden spoon and a recipe he’d created himself, a soft, golden loaf with herbs from the village fields. His hands shook as he mixed flour, water, and yeast (酵母). The shake resulted from not just his nervousness, but also the coldness. After what seemed to be a century, Tom finally completed his herb loaf. All the baked bread and cakes were presented to the judges. The judges tasted them carefully. Hours passed, and Tom’s stomach twisted with worry. It seemed hard for him to make it through the announcement of the winner, both psychologically and physically. Before the judges announced the winner, Tom’s eyes accidentally met a familiar figure’s eyes — Mrs. Green was among the audience! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mrs. Green was holding a coat and waving her hands at Tom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the prize money, Tom opened a small bakery in his village. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
