The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside, the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college and landed a rewarding career.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. In September, I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and drove to the Friday night opening reception.
However, on the night, people greeted me politely, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons and living in Seattle. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier more self-confident and attractive.
Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.
4. Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion?
A. To meet her old teachers.
B. To prove her career success.
C. To apologize for past misunderstandings.
D. To confront hurtful boys and show her worth.
5. What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion?
A. Confused and sad. B. Angry and proud.
C. Relieved and confident. D. Disappointed and regretful.
6. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The author fought against her bullies directly.
B. The reunion attendees were mostly strangers.
C. The author’s career success healed her pain.
D. The instructor’s compliment was first truly embraced.
7. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of Letting Go B. A Surprising Reunion Letter
C. Finding Friends in Strangers D. The Painful High School Years
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因高中被男生嘲笑而深受伤害,带着质问与证明价值的目的参加同学会,却发现多数人已陌生,最终选择放下怨恨,内心获得释然与自信。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. (后来,我收到了参加高中40周年同学聚会的邀请。我不喜欢高中,但我想回去告诉那些男孩,他们是多么伤人,多么不友善。我想证明他们错了。我有丈夫,有家庭,还有所有那些他们让我觉得自己不配拥有的一切)”可知,作者参加40周年高中同学会的目的是要面对曾经伤害她的男生,告诉他们其行为的伤人之处,并向他们展示她的自身价值。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.(对那些我甚至都认不出的人怀有怨恨,实在毫无意义。我在脑海里反复回想那些往事,不过是在自我伤害罢了。我明白,自己必须选择原谅。一种深深的悲伤从我的灵魂中消散,我感到前所未有的轻松快乐,也变得更加自信、更具魅力)”可知,同学会后作者心中的沉重悲伤消散,变得更快乐、更自信、更有魅力。由此推知,作者在同学会后感到释怀且自信。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.(回到家,我们的老年健身教练注意到我穿了一件新T恤。“你穿这件衣服真好看,”她说)”以及最后一段“I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.(我笑了笑。她以前也这么说过,但这次我相信了。)”可知,健身教练的赞美第一次被作者真正接受。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是倒数第三段“I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive. (我明白,自己必须选择原谅。一种深深的悲伤从我的灵魂中消散,我感到前所未有的轻松快乐,也变得更加自信、更具魅力)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者放下怨恨,通过原谅过去伤害过她的人,释放了内心的痛苦,变得更加快乐和自信。由此可知,A选项“The Power of Letting Go(放下的力量)”能够概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选A。
C
In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion.
In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station.
Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones.
Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake.
EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added.
8. Which of the following best describes the EDP project?
A. It went unquestioned.
B. It can be costly but eco-friendly.
C. It has already expanded.
D. It is separated from the power station.
9. What can be learned about floating solar projects?
A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots.
B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access.
C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones.
D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake.
10. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success.
B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity.
C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power.
D. The floating solar technology has a promising future.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Floating Solar Ready to Shine
B. Solar Power or Hydro Power
C. The Dawn of Renewable Energy
D. A Glimpse into Global Floating Solar Farms
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】

( 尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度,但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”以及第二段中“engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. (工程师们在浮动平台上安装了大约12,000个光伏模块,这些平台由部分回收塑料和当地采购的软木材制成。)”可知,该项目成本较高,但是使用了部分回收塑料和当地的软木,是环保的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. (当它们位于现有的水电大坝上时,不需要任何额外的土地,并且可以连接到电网,而不需要像太阳能项目那样等待多年。)”可知,浮动太阳能项目不需要额外的土地,并且可以更快地接入电网,不需要像普通太阳能项目那样等待多年。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. (EDP将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石。Alqueva最初的5兆瓦容量可能看起来不大,但这只是一个开始。该公司正在计划第二阶段,到2025年将增加70兆瓦的产能。据领先的咨询公司伍德·麦肯齐称,到2031年,浮动太阳能技术将为全球提供高达6万兆瓦的可再生能源。)”可知,EDP 公司将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石,虽然目前规模较小,但有进一步的规划,并且咨询公司也认为到 2031 年浮动太阳能技术有很大的发展潜力,所以EDP公司会认为浮动太阳能技术有光明的未来。故选D项。

An international team of researchers has discovered that when cats settle down for a sleep, they are not just getting comfortable; they are likely using a natural survival strategy. A new study researching hundreds of videos found that cats show a significant preference for sleeping on their left side. This seemingly slight preference may be a powerful behavior connected to how their brains process threats.
The finding is rooted in a concept known as brain lateralization, which refers to the specialization of the brain’s two hemispheres (半球) for different functions. Just as most humans are right-handed, many animals show similar left-right asymmetries (不对称) that improve efficiency. “Asymmetries in behavior can have advantages because both hemispheres of the brain specialize in different tasks,” said Onur Güntürkün, a professor of biopsychology at Ruhr University Bochum and one of the study’s authors.
To study this in sleeping cats, the research team, led by scientists in Italy and Germany, turned to a modern data source: YouTube. They researched 408 videos where a single cat was seen sleeping on its side for at least 10 seconds, excluding any changed or mirrored footage to ensure data truthfulness. Cats sleep for about 12 to 16 hours a day, and this study found that they have a regular way of lying down during that time. The results were clear: two-thirds of the cats were found sleeping on their left side.
A new study suggests that even in sleep, cats may be prepared for survival. Researchers discovered a majority of cats prefer to sleep on their left side, a position that gives their brain’s threat-recognition hemisphere a better view upon waking.
Scientists conclude this specific way of sleeping is a built-in way for cats to stay safe. It helps their brains get ready to quickly react to anything that might be a threat or something to catch.
12. What is the main finding of the study according to the text?
A. Cats sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. B. Cats’ brains have different functions.
C. Most cats prefer sleeping on their left side. D. YouTube is a useful source for scientific research.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By studying videos. B. Through comparisons.
C. By experimenting with cats. D. Through field observations.
14. Which word can best describe this text?
A. Confusing. B. Informative. C. Disorganized. D. Emotional.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A student textbook. B. A daily newspaper.
C. An academic journal. D. A travel guidebook.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】

(它们能向全球雇主证明你团结他人的能力。)”中的“They”指代前文的“interpersonal skills(人际交往能力)”,且“prove to global employers”呼应“职业发展”相关内容,体现了沟通能力在求职中的价值,符合语境。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:这是她的首次跳伞经历:身高4英尺8英寸、体重85磅的布罗德比克随后在空中完美地跳下约900次,为美国陆军表演跳伞,并激发了一项关键发明的诞生,这项发明改变了跳伞运动。修饰动词jump用副词perfectly,故填perfectly。

【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:1914年晚些时候,布罗克威克在圣地亚哥向士兵演示跳伞时遇到了一个大问题:她的降落伞的固定绳索缠绕在飞机上——于是她将其剪断了。根据上文Later in 1914可知为一般过去时。故填encountered。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在自由落体状态下,布罗克维克控制着绳索,打开了降落伞。此处open作目的状语,用不定式。故填to open。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I am a high school student, and I’ve always been shy and quiet. Speaking up, especially in front of my classmates, has always been difficult for me. In class, I tend to avoid the teacher’s look and rarely volunteer answers. I find myself more comfortable observing from the sidelines, quietly taking notes and participating only when absolutely necessary.
So, when our teacher assigned a group project to create a mind map (思维导图) for a travel journal, I felt completely lost. It seemed like a huge task, and I had no idea where to begin. The thought of working with a group and contributing my ideas was difficult.
We were supposed to work in groups of four, and I wasn’t sure if I could contribute enough to make it a success. I was stressed by the idea of cooperating with others, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I had the creative skills they would expect for something like a mind map.
My friend Alice noticed my hesitation and immediately invited me to join her group. She said, “You should join Chris, Ryan, and me. You’re so creative, and I know that you’ll bring something great to the table.” She even mentioned how I had helped her before by creating small stories to memorize words, and how my creativity always surprised her.
I was touched by her faith in me, but despite her encouragement, I was still unsure. I didn’t feel confident about my ability to contribute to the group, especially when it came to something as creative as a mind map. I feared that my ideas might not be good enough or that I would let the team down. The thought of standing out in front of everyone with my contributions felt challenging. But Alice insisted, gently encouraging me to give it a try, promising me that we could work together and that my creativity would be valuable.
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。
After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join. Alice, Chris, and Ryan were welcoming, and we dove into the project. As we brainstormed, I felt more confident. Initially, I was hesitant to speak up, but Alice’s encouragement helped me push through. I suggested ideas for the mind map, including how to organize the sections. The others liked my suggestions, and I realized I had more to contribute. By the end, we had a solid plan, and I felt proud. When our teacher announced we would present, Alice turned to me and said, “You should present with me. You’ve done great work.” Despite my nervousness, I agreed, knowing with Alice by my side, I could manage the presentation.
The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class. As she confidently explained how we had organized our ideas, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. When it was my turn, I took a deep breath and began explaining the sections I had worked on, focusing on using a timeline to connect the events in the travel journal. Alice highlighted my contributions, emphasizing that the creative idea was mine. The class nodded in approval, and our teacher smiled, offering positive feedback. Hearing the praise, I felt a rush of pride and relief. It wasn’t just about the project — it was about stepping out of my comfort zone and realizing I had something valuable to offer, something I had never fully recognized before.

The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside, the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college and landed a rewarding career.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. In September, I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and drove to the Friday night opening reception.
However, on the night, people greeted me politely, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons and living in Seattle. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.
Back home our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.

In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion.
In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station.
Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones.
Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake.
EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added.
8. Which of the following best describes the EDP project?
A. It went unquestioned.
B. It can be costly but eco-friendly.
C. It has already expanded.
D. It is separated from the power station.
9. What can be learned about floating solar projects?
A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots.
B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access.
C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones.
D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake.
10. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success.
B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity.
C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power.
D. The floating solar technology has a promising future.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Floating Solar Ready to Shine
B. Solar Power or Hydro Power
C. The Dawn of Renewable Energy
D. A Glimpse into Global Floating Solar Farms
D
An international team of researchers has discovered that when cats settle down for a sleep, they are not just getting comfortable; they are likely using a natural survival strategy. A new study researching hundreds of videos found that cats show a significant preference for sleeping on their left side. This seemingly slight preference may be a powerful behavior connected to how their brains process threats.
The finding is rooted in a concept known as brain lateralization, which refers to the specialization of the brain’s two hemispheres (半球) for different functions. Just as most humans are right-handed, many animals show similar left-right asymmetries (不对称) that improve efficiency. “Asymmetries in behavior can have advantages because both hemispheres of the brain specialize in different tasks,” said Onur Güntürkün, a professor of biopsychology at Ruhr University Bochum and one of the study’s authors.
To study this in sleeping cats, the research team, led by scientists in Italy and Germany, turned to a modern data source: YouTube. They researched 408 videos where a single cat was seen sleeping on its side for at least 10 seconds, excluding any changed or mirrored footage to ensure data truthfulness. Cats sleep for about 12 to 16 hours a day, and this study found that they have a regular way of lying down during that time. The results were clear: two-thirds of the cats were found sleeping on their left side.
A new study suggests that even in sleep, cats may be prepared for survival. Researchers discovered a majority of cats prefer to sleep on their left side, a position that gives their brain’s threat-recognition hemisphere a better view upon waking.
Scientists conclude this specific way of sleeping is a built-in way for cats to stay safe. It helps their brains get ready to quickly react to anything that might be a threat or something to catch.
12. What is the main finding of the study according to the text?
A. Cats sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. B. Cats’ brains have different functions.
C. Most cats prefer sleeping on their left side. D. YouTube is a useful source for scientific research.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By studying videos. B. Through comparisons.
C. By experimenting with cats. D. Through field observations.
14. Which word can best describe this text?
A. Confusing. B. Informative. C. Disorganized. D. Emotional.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A student textbook. B. A daily newspaper.
C. An academic journal. D. A travel guidebook.

47. 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。
I am a high school student, and I’ve always been shy and quiet. Speaking up, especially in front of my classmates, has always been difficult for me. In class, I tend to avoid the teacher’s look and rarely volunteer answers. I find myself more comfortable observing from the sidelines, quietly taking notes and participating only when absolutely necessary.
So when our teacher assigned a group project to create a mind map (思维导图) for a travel journal, I felt completely lost. It seemed like a huge task, and I had no idea where to begin. The thought of working with a group and contributing my ideas was difficult.
We were supposed to work in groups of four, and I wasn’t sure if I could contribute enough to make it a success. I was stressed by the idea of cooperating with others, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I had the creative skills they would expect for something like a mind map.
My friend Alice noticed my hesitation and immediately invited me to join her group. She said, “You should join Chris, Ryan, and me. You’re so creative, and I know that you’ll bring something great to the table.” She even mentioned how I had helped her before by creating small stories to memorize words, and how my creativity always surprised her.
I was touched by her faith in me, but despite her encouragement, I was still unsure. I didn’t feel confident about my ability to contribute to the group, especially when it came to something as creative as a mind map. I feared that my ideas might not be good enough or that I would let the team down. The thought of standing out in front of everyone with my contributions felt challenging. But Alice insisted, gently encouraging me to give it a try, promising me that we could work together and that my creativity would be valuable.
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。
After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class.
