C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一个名为Olympia的全日游项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Overview部分中的“Following pickup at Katakolon, travel via spacious vehicle to UNESCO-listed Olympia, which you’ll explore independently.(在卡塔科隆接人后，乘坐宽敞的车辆前往被联合国教科文组织列入名录的奥林匹亚，您将独立游览)”可知，在奥林匹亚的游览是游客独立进行的，即游客可以按照自己的节奏进行探索。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Temple of Hera部分中的“You will also discover the famous setting where the Olympic fire is lit every four years.(您还将发现每四年点燃一次奥运圣火的著名地点)”可知，奥运圣火是在赫拉神庙(Temple of Hera)点燃的。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Additional information部分中的“* Please note there is some walking distance between these sites with rough cobbles (鹅卵石) so not recommended for anyone with limited mobility.(*请注意，这些景点之间有一些步行距离，且地面是粗糙的鹅卵石，因此不建议行动不便的人参加)”可知，在游览过程中需要一定的步行，且地面是粗糙的鹅卵石，因此需要游客具备适中的身体体能水平。故选C项。 B At 2 years old, Caitlin Lyons found love at first sight — not with a storybook prince or a celebrity, but with horseback riding. “Once I got on my first horse, I just knew,” says Lyons. “And it didn’t take long for everyone around me to see how serious I was.” She had a riding instructor when she was in elementary school and since then, she has been on horseback more often than on a playground. As a high school student, Lyons visited the University of Georgia (UGA) after hearing about the school’s competitive equestrian (马术的) team. When she stepped on campus, she once again felt an instant connection. “It was home,” says Lyons. “There’s no other way to describe it. I just knew this was where I was meant to be.” Attending UGA allowed Lyons to find her path as an outstanding athlete. In 2024, she was named a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. She also won the 2022 SEC Reining Rider of the Year and 2024 SEC Equestrian Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Lyons rides different horses depending on the event and location, but her personal horse, 6-year-old Ava Grace, holds a special place in her heart. “Horseback riding isn’t about jumping on an animal’s back and telling it what to do,” she says. “It’s about connecting. You can’t be in your head or anxious. You have to work together with a thousand pounds of living, breathing animal underneath you and know if they’re nervous or confident or confused.” While Lyons has a lot of experience working with horses, her passion for animals extends well beyond the riding stables (养马场). She has always wanted to help with the conservation of endangered species. She plans to work as a wildlife technician and eventually transform wildlife conservation at a national level after graduation. Just as she’s learned to build trust and care for horses, Lyons will use that devotion for protecting endangered species and their natural environments. 4. What excited Lyons’s love for horseback riding? A. A storybook about horses. B. Her first experience on a horse. C. A wonderful equestrian performance. D. Her riding instructor’s encouragement. 5. Why did Lyons like UGA on her visit? A. It provided adequate training facilities. B. It offered superior academic programs. C. It gave her a sense of belonging. D. It lifted her competitive spirit. 6. What does Lyons emphasize about horseback riding? A. Matching fine horses to events. B. Overcoming personal anxiety. C. Building a bond with the horse. D. Mastering practical riding skills. 7. What is Lyons’s future goal? A. To become a professional equestrian athlete. B. To support national wildlife conservation. C. To establish her own riding stables. D. To advocate for racehorses’ welfare. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了凯特琳·莱昂斯对骑马的热爱、在大学的成就以及未来保护濒危物种的目标。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At 2 years old, Caitlin Lyons found love at first sight — not with a storybook prince or a celebrity, but with horseback riding. “Once I got on my first horse, I just knew,” says Lyons.(两岁时，凯特琳·莱昂斯便一见钟情——不过这份爱并非针对童话故事里的王子或某个名人，而是爱上了骑马。“我一骑上第一匹马，就立刻明白了，”莱昂斯说道。)”可知，莱昂斯第一次骑马的经历激发了她对骑马的热爱。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a high school student, Lyons visited the University of Georgia (UGA) after hearing about the school’s competitive equestrian (马术的) team. When she stepped on campus, she once again felt an instant connection. “It was home,” says Lyons. “There’s no other way to describe it. I just knew this was where I was meant to be.”(高中时期，莱昂斯听闻佐治亚大学（UGA）有一支实力强劲的马术队后，便前往参观。当她踏入校园的那一刻，又一次感受到了瞬间产生的紧密联系。“这里就像家一样，”莱昂斯说，“没有其他词语能形容这种感觉。我就知道，这里才是我该来的地方。”)”可知，莱昂斯在访问佐治亚大学时喜欢上这所大学是因为它给了她一种归属感。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““Horseback riding isn’t about jumping on an animal’s back and telling it what to do,” she says. “It’s about connecting. You can’t be in your head or anxious. You have to work together with a thousand pounds of living, breathing animal underneath you and know if they’re nervous or confident or confused.”(“骑马可不是跳到马背上，然后命令它该怎么做，”她说，“骑马讲究的是心灵相通。你不能满脑子杂念，也不能焦虑不安。你得与身下这头重达千磅、活生生会呼吸的动物协同合作，还得感知到它们是紧张、自信还是困惑。”)”可知，莱昂斯强调骑马是与马建立联系。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She plans to work as a wildlife technician and eventually transform wildlife conservation at a national level after graduation.(她计划毕业后成为一名野生动物技术员，并最终在国家层面改变野生动物保护。)”可知，莱昂斯的未来目标是支持国家野生动物保护。故选B。 C Traditionally, profiting from forests often meant capitalizing on timber (木材) —choosing commercial timber. Yet increasingly, there is an understanding that it’s of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit. Money is not everything. We have to recognize real and lasting value is from natural resources. But money is a fact of life. Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides a revenue (收益) stream. Leaving woodland complete does not necessarily mean that we do not touch it at all. Conservation work may involve building back biodiversity or the removal of foreign plant species. A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields (产物). Besides eatable yields—top fruit, berries, and food crops, it produces substances for chemical use. The non-timber forest products provided by natural ecosystems vary significantly depending on where they are. But there are always more ways to explore to acquire revenue. A project in the UK, for example, shows woodland itself is also a draw for visitors. It engages a community who creates a sustainable area of woodland. The community largely obtains revenue by opening up parts of the natural woodland to the public with an adventure playground and outdoor recreational activities on the site. It also offers courses on nest building, special wildlife events and more. The project is thought to have great uniqueness. It centers round the existing natural land; the yields that woodland provides become by products. Recreational activities, tours, and classes are just the commencement. A rich and bio-diverse woodland can be an ecosystem that draws in more people looking for a beautiful place to stay. Woodland has great value in ecological and social terms. And when you nurse it, it could also add to the income from your land. 8 What do people increasingly think about forest conservation? A. It means making full use of timber. B. It outweighs financial benefit. C. It is extremely difficult to carry out. D. It is all about rebuilding biodiversity. 9. Why is the project considered unique? A. It provides lots of recreational activities. B. It highlights educational experiences. C. It makes woodland itself the main product. D. It focuses on nursing the natural land. 10. What does the underlined word “commencement” mean in the last paragraph? A. Intention. B. Beginning. C. Wish. D. Exception. 11 Which is the text mainly about? A. Forest conservation has been a top priority. B. A project helps create sustainable woodland. C. Non-timber products help gain more benefit. D. Woodland brings profit while staying complete. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了保护林地树木生长的重要性以及这样能带来的经济效益，并以英国的项目为例，同样说明了可持续健康发展的林地在经济与生态方面的巨大价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet increasingly, there is an understanding that it’s of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit.（然而慢慢地，人们越来越能理解保持树木生长比为了经济利润而砍掉它们更重要。）”可知，人们对于森林保护的观念正逐渐加强，也逐渐意识到保护森林树木的重要性要远大于砍伐。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A project in the UK, for example, shows woodland itself is also a draw for visitors.（以一个在英国的项目为例，该项目证明了林地本身对于游客来说也十分有吸引力。）”以及“The project is thought to have great uniqueness. It centers round the existing natural land; the yields that woodland provides become by products.（这个项目被认为具有很大的独特性。它以现有的自然土地为中心；林地所提供的产量成为了产品。）”可知，该项目的独特之处在于它利用了林地自身的优势，呈现给游客林地的自然风貌，使得林地本身就是主要的产品，吸引更多的游客前往。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Recreational activities, tours, and classes are just the commencement.（娱乐活动、旅游和课程只是一个开始。）”以及“A rich and bio-diverse woodland can be an ecosystem that draws in more people looking for a beautiful place to stay.（一个丰富并且多样的林地可以成为一个生态系统，这样就可以吸引更多的人来寻找一个美丽的地方停留。）”可知，目前林地内所开展的活动都只是一部分内容，随着林地自身的发展，还会有更多的优势和作用被发掘出来。因此，娱乐活动、旅游和课程都只是一个开始，beginning与划线词意思相同。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides a revenue (收益) stream.（好消息是我们可以预计这样一个完好并且没有被损害的自然林地仍能提供收入来源。）”以及“A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields (产物).（一个健康的林地系统可以提供一系列的产物。）”可知，即便不以砍伐树林挣钱，依然可以靠完整的林地产生效益。并且根据后文英国的项目可知，该说法是实际可行并获益了的，因此这些都说明本文的中心思想在于强调林地在保持完整的同时会带来利润。故选D项。 D Researchers from the University of Florida studied what may cause people to choose unknown options over known ones, and they found that where the information comes from is important: when what you know comes from other people’s experiences, you’re more likely to explore new options. They conducted a series of experiments. In one experiment, participants were asked to choose one of four cards on a computer screen. Each card hid an amount of money from 1 cent to 40 cents, and participants were told how much money was behind one of the cards in order to help them determine whether to explore and try another card in the hope of turning up more. Some participants were told the information came from another person taking part in the experiment; others were told it came from the computer. Participants were almost twice as likely to explore an unknown card when the information about the known amount appeared to come from a player rather than the computer. As social beings, we consider other people’s experiences as part of our own, so we’re less likely to want to repeat them, even if the experiences are positive, the researchers find. It doesn’t seem to work the same way with computers. Not surprisingly, the amount revealed also had an effect: participants were more willing to choose a different card — to explore, so to speak — when the known amount was low and less willing when it was high, no matter the source of the information. But when the revealed amount was in the middle, the human versus (对抗) computer effect became particularly evident. The idea that the individual decision about whether to venture out has a social component could have practical implications, the researchers write. “For those seeking to encourage exploration in others, our findings offer a simple intervention: highlight the fact that existing information is available because of previous explorers.” 12. What mainly influenced the participants’ decisions in the experiment? A. The source of the information. B. The time reserved for each task. C. The number of options provided. D. The reward for the correct choice. 13. At which known amount might the participants hesitate most? A. 5 cents. B. 10 cents. C. 20 cents. D. 35 cents. 14. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To doubt an idea. B. To give a warning. C. To note the study’s limitations. D. To suggest a practical application. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Why we prefer familiar over foreign B. How rewards make us avoid unknowns C. Why we go where no one’s gone before D. How others help us make better choices 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了佛罗里达大学研究者探究人们选未知选项的原因，实验发现信息来源（他人经验更促探索）和已知金额有影响，还指出研究对鼓励他人探索有实际意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from the University of Florida studied what may cause people to choose unknown options over known ones, and they found that where the information comes from is important: when what you know comes from other people’s experiences, you’re more likely to explore new options.(佛罗里达大学的研究人员对人们为何会倾向于选择未知选项而非已知选项这一现象进行了研究，并得出结论：信息的来源至关重要：当你所掌握的信息来自他人的经验时，你就更有可能去探索新的选择)”可知，在该实验中，主要影响参与者决策的因素是信息的来源。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Not surprisingly, the amount revealed also had an effect: participants were more willing to choose a different card — to explore, so to speak — when the known amount was low and less willing when it was high, no matter the source of the information. But when the revealed amount was in the middle, the human versus (对抗) computer effect became particularly evident.(这并不令人意外的是，所透露的金额本身也产生了影响：当已知金额较低时，参与者更愿意选择另一张卡片——可以说是在进行探索；而当金额较高时，他们则不太愿意这样做。无论信息来自何处，这种影响都是如此。但当所透露的金额处于中间水平时，人与计算机之间的这种差异就表现得尤为明显了)”可知，已知金额处于中间水平时，人们在 “是否探索未知” 上的犹豫（受信息来源影响更显著）会更明显。故推测参与者在20美分上最为犹豫，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The idea that the individual decision about whether to venture out has a social component could have practical implications, the researchers write. “For those seeking to encourage exploration in others, our findings offer a simple intervention: highlight the fact that existing information is available because of previous explorers.”(研究人员写道，关于个人是否要冒险这一决策本身其实也包含着社会层面的因素，这一观点可能会产生实际影响。“对于那些想要鼓励他人去探索的人来说，我们的研究结果提供了一种简单的干预措施：强调这样一个事实，即现有的信息之所以能够获取，是因为有之前的探索者做出过努力。”)”可知，最后一段的作用是为实际应用提供建议。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers from the University of Florida studied what may cause people to choose unknown options over known ones, and they found that where the information comes from is important: when what you know comes from other people’s experiences, you’re more likely to explore new options.(佛罗里达大学的研究人员对人们为何会倾向于选择未知选项而非已知选项这一现象进行了研究，并得出结论：信息的来源至关重要：当你所掌握的信息来自他人的经验时，你就更有可能去探索新的选择)”结合文章主要说明了佛罗里达大学研究者探究人们选未知选项的原因，实验发现信息来源（他人经验更促探索）和已知金额有影响，还指出研究对鼓励他人探索有实际意义。可知，C选项“我们为何要去那些无人涉足的地方”最符合文章标题。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I first started traveling, my dad asked me what I was running away from. Another time, a friend told me to stop running away from my problems and to start living life. I’m not sure why. ____16____ We are running away from responsibilities, challenges, and ultimately, maturity itself. People think we are all just Peter Pans refusing to be “adults”. And to all those people, I say: you are right. ____17____ I’m running away from office life, commutes (通勤), weekend duties, and the strict path society has laid out as “normal”. I’m running away because I want to experience every culture, see every mountain, eat different food, attend crazy festivals, meet new people, and enjoy different holidays around the world. I want to construct a life that makes me happy. In our society, the accepted path is long and narrow: you go to college, get a job, get married, buy a house, have two or three children, raise them, and then retire. Only then, after you’ ve put in your time, can you enjoy the fruits of your labor. ____18____ And any deviation (偏差) is considered abnormal and strange. For me, those who travel the world aren’t running away from life. ____19____ They are exploring the world and living on their own terms. They have a degree of freedom a lot of people will never experience. They get to be the captains of their own ships. People may tell you they envy what you do, and say they wish they could travel like you. But they never do. Few people have the courage to take the risk. But life is what you make it out to be. Life is yours to create. ____20____ So I’m not running away. I am just going after my own life. And I never plan to look back. A. Traveling is something everyone should do. B. Responsible people don’t just travel forever. C. On the contrary, they are running toward true living. D. If you really want something, you have to go after it. E. I’m running away from people’s fixed idea of the‌ “real” world. F. But there is this perception that travelers must be escaping something. G. Society boxes you in and restricts your movements to their expectations. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要探讨了作者对旅行的看法，反驳了那些认为旅行是逃避生活的人，强调旅行是为了追求真正的生活和自由。 【16题详解】 上文“When I first started traveling, my dad asked me what I was running away from. Another time, a friend told me to stop running away from my problems and to start living life. I’m not sure why.(当我刚开始旅行的时候，我爸爸问我在逃避什么。还有一次，一个朋友告诉我，不要再逃避我的问题了，要开始生活。我不知道为什么)”指出作者在开始旅行时，被周围的人质疑是在逃避问题，但作者不理解原因。F选项“But there is this perception that travelers must be escaping something.(但有一种看法认为旅行者一定是在逃避什么)”承接上文，从上文的个人经历讲到一种普遍现象，即人们普遍认为旅行者是在逃避某些东西，进而引出下文“We are running away from responsibilities, challenges, and ultimately, maturity itself. People think we are all just Peter Pans refusing to be “adults”.(我们在逃避责任、挑战，最终逃避成熟本身。人们认为我们都是拒绝成为“成年人”的彼得·潘)”对“逃避”对象的详细阐述，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据第一段和它的最后一句话“And to all those people, I say: you are right.(对所有那些人，我要说：你们是对的)”可知，周围的人质疑作者去旅行是在逃避问题，作者对此作出了肯定的答复：自己是在逃避。E选项“I’m running away from people’s fixed idea of the‌ “real” world.(我在逃避人们对“真实”世界的固有观念)”承接上文，明确说明自己是在逃避“真实”世界的固有观念，同时引出下文“I’m running away from office life, commutes (通勤), weekend duties, and the strict path society has laid out as “normal”.(我正在逃离办公室生活、通勤压力、周末加班，以及社会设定好的所谓“正常”人生轨迹)”对固有观念的具体说明，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 【18题详解】 上文“In our society, the accepted path is long and narrow: you go to college, get a job, get married, buy a house, have two or three children, raise them, and then retire. Only then, after you’ ve put in your time, can you enjoy the fruits of your labor.(在我们的社会里，公认的道路是漫长而狭窄的：你上大学，找工作，结婚，买房，生两三个孩子，抚养他们，然后退休。只有这样，在你付出了时间之后，你才能享受劳动的果实)”详细描述个人们公认的“正常”人生轨迹，G选项“Society boxes you in and restricts your movements to their expectations.(社会把你束缚住，限制你的行动以符合他们的期望)”承接上文，指出这是来自社会的“束缚”，与上文提到的公认的道路和限制相呼应。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“For me, those who travel the world aren’t running away from life.(对我来说，那些环游世界的人并不是在逃避生活)”可知，作者在反驳那些认为旅行是逃避生活的人。C选项“On the contrary, they are running toward true living.(相反，他们是在追求真正的生活)”明确提出自己不同的观点，说明旅行者是在追求真正的生活，与上文提到的“逃避生活”相对比。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“People may tell you they envy what you do, and say they wish they could travel like you. But they never do. Few people have the courage to take the risk. But life is what you make it out to be. Life is yours to create.(人们可能会告诉你他们羡慕你所做的，说他们希望也能像你一样旅行。但他们从来没有这样做过。很少有人有勇气去冒险。但生活是你自己创造的。生活由你创造)”可知，作者在鼓励人们勇敢追求自己想要的生活。D选项“If you really want something, you have to go after it.(如果你真的想要什么，你就必须去追求它)”能够承接上文，说明如果想要什么就必须去追求，与上文提到的生活由自己创造相呼应。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(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。 I often heard about people who became fluent in French within three months of moving to Paris.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在巴黎学习法语的经历。作者原本以为能在三个月内流利说法语，但两年后仍主要使用英语。后来作者在一家志愿者经营的酒吧工作，通过实践逐渐提高了法语水平，并克服了不断道歉的习惯，最终实现了自我接纳和进步。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我原以为我也会这样。A. suspected怀疑；B. assumed认为；C. acknowledged承认；D. demanded要求。根据前文“I often heard about people who became fluent in French within three months of moving to Paris.”和后文“I’d do the same”可推知，作者经常听说学习法语很容易，通常搬到巴黎后的三个月内就能说一口流利的法语，作者认为自己也会如此。故选B项。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但来到巴黎两年后，我仍在努力。A. struggling努力；B. celebrating庆祝；C. moving移动；D. dreaming梦想。根据后文“I could get by, but I was still speaking English.”可知，作者虽然能在巴黎生活，但仍然主要说英语，说明作者的法语水平不高，还在努力地学习。故选A项。 【23题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我自愿做一些轮班工作，比如倒啤酒和拼装奶酪拼盘。A. wonders奇迹；B. plans计划；C. problems问题；D. shifts轮班。根据后文“pulling pints and assembling cheese plates”和“When I was first asked to  8  a manager shift”可知，这个由志愿者经营的酒吧里的工作实行轮班，倒啤酒、拼装奶酪拼盘，甚至经理都可以轮流做。故选D项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有太多名词我还没遇到过，大多是关于清洁的。A. forgotten忘记；B. quoted引用；C. encountered遇到；D. explained解释。根据前文“There were so many nouns”和后文“putting the words into Google Translate”可知，作者遇到了很多不认识的名词。故选C项。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当需要这样的物品时，我会跑到厨房去“查看”我们是否有，在冲出去回应之前把单词输入谷歌翻译。A. requested需要；B. promoted促进；C. purchased购买；D. consumed消耗。根据后文“I’d run into the kitchen to “check” if we had them”可知，作者会跑到厨房去“查看”是否有这些物品，说明是有人需要这些物品。故选A项。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当需要这样的物品时，我会跑到厨房去“查看”我们是否有，在冲出去回复之前把单词输入谷歌翻译。A. payment支付；B. response回复；C. permission允许；D. guidance指导。根据前文“to “check” if we had them, putting the words into Google Translate before dashing back out”可推知，有人需要某些物品，作者“查看”后，应该要出去作出回复。故选B项。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：慢慢地，我的语言技能提高了，最终我不再躲在厨房里躲避顾客。A. learning学习；B. benefiting受益；C. suffering遭受；D. hiding躲避。根据前文“I’d run into the kitchen to “check” if we had them, putting the words into Google Translate...”可知，作者去厨房其实并不是为了“查看”是否有某些物品，而是为了躲避顾客，让自己有时间用谷歌翻译单词。故选D项。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：当我第一次被要求担任经理的轮班时，我因为缺乏信心而拒绝了，但我的同事们没有放弃我。A. stick to坚持；B. make out理解；C. take on承担；D. hand over移交。根据后文“a manager shift”可知，作者被要求承担经理的轮班工作。故选C项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我第一次被要求担任经理的轮班时，我因为缺乏信心而拒绝了，但我的同事们没有放弃我。A. challenge挑战；B. confidence信心；C. support支持；D. safety安全。根据前文“There were so many nouns I hadn’t yet 4 .”和“I’d run into the kitchen to “check” if we had them, putting the words into Google Translate before dashing back...”可知，作者的法语很差，所以会因为缺乏信心而拒绝了担任经理的轮班工作。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我很快就在周三晚上独自负责酒吧三个小时的运营，然后带着暖暖的满足感步行回家。A. guilt内疚；B. tiredness疲劳；C. satisfaction满足；D. regret遗憾。根据前文“I was soon running the show for three hours on Wednesday night”可知，作者的法语已经好到能够主持三个小时的节目，由此可知，作者会对自己的表现感到满意。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我在酒吧学到的最重要的一件事是停止不断为我的法语道歉的习惯。A. apologizing道歉；B. complaining抱怨；C. joking开玩笑；D. bothering打扰。根据后文“The customers 12 me as I was, which let me accept myself and 13 .”以及作者之前的经历可推知，作者之前因为法语不好而不断道歉，现在在酒吧学到了要接受自己，停止道歉。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：顾客们接受了我的本来面目，这让我接受了自己并取得了进步。A. pardoned原谅；B. convinced使信服；C. accepted接受；D. shaped塑造。根据后文“as I was”和“which let me accept myself”可推知，顾客们接受了法语不好的作者，这也让作者接受了自己。故选C项。 33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：顾客们接受了我的本来面目，这让我接受了自己并取得了进步。A. progress进步；B. escape逃跑；C. reflect反映；D. wander徘徊。根据前文“let me accept myself”以及作者在酒吧的经历可知，作者接受了自己，并在法语上取得了进步。故选A项。 【34题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我搬走了，生活变得忙碌起来——我开始为法国雇主工作，加入了一个社区园艺小组。A. tough艰难的；B. busy忙碌的；C. boring无聊的；D. calm平静的。根据后文“I began working for French employers and joining a community gardening group.”可知，作者开始为法国雇主工作，并加入了社区园艺小组，说明作者的生活变得忙碌起来。故选B项。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果没有在酒吧度过的那些夜晚，这一切都不可能实现。A. risky冒险的；B. complex复杂的；C. intense强烈的；D. possible可能的。根据前文作者的经历以及“without those nights spent behind the bar”可知，如果没有在酒吧的工作经历，作者不可能取得现在的进步和成就。故选D项。 第二节(共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The 2025 Hainan Island Carnival opened on Saturday, with the Haikou Meilan Fishing Village Dragon Boat Race setting the stage for over two months of cultural celebrations.

She sings in the bathroom. And on the roof. She sings to the hills. And to the moon. She sings through rain. And through heat. When Champa sings, she is filled with the most marvellous feeling in the world. One day, when Champa sings, Basant’s eyes light up. “I have an amazing idea!” he says. Basant is Champa’s best friend and he is always bursting with ideas. “You should sing on Annual Day!” says Basant. “What a terrible idea!” says Champa. “Why not! You love to sing.” Champa hasn’t told Basant about the only time she got on stage and nearly fainted with fear. “I...I can’t sing in front of so many people. I don’t even sing in front of Ma and Pa!” “You do sing around me! All you need is a little practice, Champa.” “Should I?” “Yes! Yes! Yes!” “What if people laugh at me?” “If they do, it just makes them silly and mean. You’re an amazing singer.” The very thought of singing in front of a crowd fills her stomach with butterflies. Champa is excited and terrified at the same time. But she loves singing so much! She decides to give it a try. Champa practises long and hard. She rolls out of bed with a soft hum. She sings while multiplying and dividing. She makes her voice go up and down and down and up while taking a bath. Everyone at home is excited about Champa’s big day. They give her advice. “Take long and deep breaths before you sing.” “Give the audience your widest smile. Just be yourself.” “Drinking enough water and avoiding spicy and acidic food are essential for protecting your throat.” The day before her performance, Champa holds a special rehearsal (排练). It is a roaring success! Finally, it’s Annual Day. Champa is wearing the sweater that her grandfather knit specially for the show. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When it was her turn to sing, she seemed to get tongue-tied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That was when she saw Basant, waving wildly at her. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When it was her turn to sing, she seemed to get tongue-tied. The bright stage lights blinded her for a moment, and the sea of faces in the audience kept her heart pounding. Her palms grew sweaty, and the lyrics she had practiced so hard suddenly slipped her mind. An awkward silence filled the hall as she stood frozen, her throat tight with fear. Whispers rippling through the crowd, Champa felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She clenched her fists, willing herself to remember the melody — but only her heartbeat answered. She was at a loss what to do next. That was when she saw Basant, waving wildly at her. His encouraging smile and exaggerated thumbs-up were like a lifeline. Taking a deep breath, Champa closed her eyes and imagined singing alone on the roof. Slowly, the familiar tune returned to her. She started softly, then her voice grew louder, clearer and stronger, filling the auditorium. The audience fell silent, then burst into applause when she finished the last tune. Basant jumped to his feet, cheering the loudest. At that moment, Champa realized that singing wasn’t about perfection — it was about sharing the love for music. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Champa喜爱唱歌却害怕在被人面前唱歌，她最好的朋友Basant鼓励她在周年纪念日那天唱歌，Champa在Basant的鼓励下，最终克服恐惧和怯场开始唱歌。她最终明白，唱歌并不是要做到完美，而是要分享对于音乐的爱的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“轮到她唱歌的时候，她似乎有点不知所措了。”可知，第一段可描写Champa在舞台上的窘迫和紧张，不知所措的样子。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，她看到了Basant，只见他正疯狂地向她挥手。”可知，第二段可描写Champa看到了Basant，克服恐惧和怯场，唱出了动听的歌声及她的感悟。 2.续写线索：登上舞台——十分恐惧——不知所措——看到Basant——调整自己——开始唱歌——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①关闭：close/shut ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②不知所措：at a loss/all at sea 【点睛】[高分句型1] An awkward silence filled the hall as she stood frozen, her throat tight with fear.(运用了as引导的状语从句和独立主格结构) [高分句型2] At that moment, Champa realized that singing wasn’t about perfection — it was about sharing the love for music.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋学期金坛一中高三年级英语学科十月阶段调研卷 (调研用时：120分钟 本卷满分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。 1.

B At 2 years old, Caitlin Lyons found love at first sight — not with a storybook prince or a celebrity, but with horseback riding. “Once I got on my first horse, I just knew,” says Lyons. “And it didn’t take long for everyone around me to see how serious I was.” She had a riding instructor when she was in elementary school and since then, she has been on horseback more often than on a playground. As a high school student, Lyons visited the University of Georgia (UGA) after hearing about the school’s competitive equestrian (马术的) team. When she stepped on campus, she once again felt an instant connection. “It was home,” says Lyons. “There’s no other way to describe it. I just knew this was where I was meant to be.” Attending UGA allowed Lyons to find her path as an outstanding athlete. In 2024, she was named a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. She also won the 2022 SEC Reining Rider of the Year and 2024 SEC Equestrian Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Lyons rides different horses depending on the event and location, but her personal horse, 6-year-old Ava Grace, holds a special place in her heart. “Horseback riding isn’t about jumping on an animal’s back and telling it what to do,” she says. “It’s about connecting. You can’t be in your head or anxious. You have to work together with a thousand pounds of living, breathing animal underneath you and know if they’re nervous or confident or confused.” While Lyons has a lot of experience working with horses, her passion for animals extends well beyond the riding stables (养马场). She has always wanted to help with the conservation of endangered species. She plans to work as a wildlife technician and eventually transform wildlife conservation at a national level after graduation. Just as she’s learned to build trust and care for horses, Lyons will use that devotion for protecting endangered species and their natural environments. 4. What excited Lyons’s love for horseback riding? A. A storybook about horses. B. Her first experience on a horse. C. A wonderful equestrian performance. D. Her riding instructor’s encouragement. 5. Why did Lyons like UGA on her visit? A. It provided adequate training facilities. B. It offered superior academic programs. C. It gave her a sense of belonging. D. It lifted her competitive spirit. 6. What does Lyons emphasize about horseback riding? A Matching fine horses to events. B. Overcoming personal anxiety. C. Building a bond with the horse. D. Mastering practical riding skills. 7. What is Lyons’s future goal? A. To become a professional equestrian athlete. B. To support national wildlife conservation. C. To establish her own riding stables. D. To advocate for racehorses’ welfare. C Traditionally, profiting from forests often meant capitalizing on timber (木材) —choosing commercial timber. Yet increasingly, there is an understanding that it’s of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit. Money is not everything. We have to recognize real and lasting value is from natural resources. But money is a fact of life. Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides a revenue (收益) stream. Leaving woodland complete does not necessarily mean that we do not touch it at all. Conservation work may involve building back biodiversity or the removal of foreign plant species. A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields (产物). Besides eatable yields—top fruit, berries, and food crops, it produces substances for chemical use. The non-timber forest products provided by natural ecosystems vary significantly depending on where they are. But there are always more ways to explore to acquire revenue. A project in the UK, for example, shows woodland itself is also a draw for visitors. It engages a community who creates a sustainable area of woodland. The community largely obtains revenue by opening up parts of the natural woodland to the public with an adventure playground and outdoor recreational activities on the site. It also offers courses on nest building, special wildlife events and more. The project is thought to have great uniqueness. It centers round the existing natural land; the yields that woodland provides become by products. Recreational activities, tours, and classes are just the commencement. A rich and bio-diverse woodland can be an ecosystem that draws in more people looking for a beautiful place to stay. Woodland has great value in ecological and social terms. And when you nurse it, it could also add to the income from your land. 8. What do people increasingly think about forest conservation? A. It means making full use of timber. B. It outweighs financial benefit. C. It is extremely difficult to carry out. D. It is all about rebuilding biodiversity. 9. Why is the project considered unique? A. It provides lots of recreational activities. B. It highlights educational experiences. C. It makes woodland itself the main product. D. It focuses on nursing the natural land. 10. What does the underlined word “commencement” mean in the last paragraph? A. Intention. B. Beginning. C. Wish. D. Exception. 11. Which is the text mainly about? A. Forest conservation has been a top priority. B. A project helps create sustainable woodland. C. Non-timber products help gain more benefit. D. Woodland brings profit while staying complete. D Researchers from the University of Florida studied what may cause people to choose unknown options over known ones, and they found that where the information comes from is important: when what you know comes from other people’s experiences, you’re more likely to explore new options. They conducted a series of experiments. In one experiment, participants were asked to choose one of four cards on a computer screen. Each card hid an amount of money from 1 cent to 40 cents, and participants were told how much money was behind one of the cards in order to help them determine whether to explore and try another card in the hope of turning up more. Some participants were told the information came from another person taking part in the experiment; others were told it came from the computer. Participants were almost twice as likely to explore an unknown card when the information about the known amount appeared to come from a player rather than the computer. As social beings, we consider other people’s experiences as part of our own, so we’re less likely to want to repeat them, even if the experiences are positive, the researchers find. It doesn’t seem to work the same way with computers. Not surprisingly the amount revealed also had an effect: participants were more willing to choose a different card — to explore, so to speak — when the known amount was low and less willing when it was high, no matter the source of the information. But when the revealed amount was in the middle, the human versus (对抗) computer effect became particularly evident. The idea that the individual decision about whether to venture out has a social component could have practical implications, the researchers write. “For those seeking to encourage exploration in others, our findings offer a simple intervention: highlight the fact that existing information is available because of previous explorers.” 12. What mainly influenced the participants’ decisions in the experiment? A. The source of the information. B. The time reserved for each task. C. The number of options provided. D. The reward for the correct choice. 13 At which known amount might the participants hesitate most? A. 5 cents. B. 10 cents. C. 20 cents. D. 35 cents. 14. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To doubt an idea. B. To give a warning. C. To note the study’s limitations. D. To suggest a practical application. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Why we prefer familiar over foreign B. How rewards make us avoid unknowns C. Why we go where no one’s gone before D. How others help us make better choices 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I first started traveling, my dad asked me what I was running away from. Another time, a friend told me to stop running away from my problems and to start living life. I’m not sure why. ____16____ We are running away from responsibilities, challenges, and ultimately, maturity itself. People think we are all just Peter Pans refusing to be “adults”. And to all those people, I say: you are right. ____17____ I’m running away from office life, commutes (通勤), weekend duties, and the strict path society has laid out as “normal”. I’m running away because I want to experience every culture, see every mountain, eat different food, attend crazy festivals, meet new people, and enjoy different holidays around the world. I want to construct a life that makes me happy.

Life is yours to create. ____20____ So I’m not running away. I am just going after my own life. And I never plan to look back. A. Traveling is something everyone should do. B. Responsible people don’t just travel forever. C. On the contrary, they are running toward true living. D. If you really want something, you have to go after it. E. I’m running away from people’s fixed idea of the‌ “real” world. F. But there is this perception that travelers must be escaping something. G.

She sings in the bathroom. And on the roof. She sings to the hills. And to the moon. She sings through rain. And through heat. When Champa sings, she is filled with the most marvellous feeling in the world. One day, when Champa sings, Basant’s eyes light up. “I have an amazing idea!” he says. Basant is Champa’s best friend and he is always bursting with ideas. “You should sing on Annual Day!” says Basant. “What a terrible idea!” says Champa. “Why not! You love to sing.” Champa hasn’t told Basant about the only time she got on stage and nearly fainted with fear. “I...I can’t sing in front of so many people. I don’t even sing in front of Ma and Pa!” “You do sing around me! All you need is a little practice, Champa.” “Should I?” “Yes! Yes! Yes!” “What if people laugh at me?” “If they do, it just makes them silly and mean. You’re an amazing singer.” The very thought of singing in front of a crowd fills her stomach with butterflies. Champa is excited and terrified at the same time. But she loves singing so much! She decides to give it a try. Champa practises long and hard. She rolls out of bed with a soft hum. She sings while multiplying and dividing. She makes her voice go up and down and down and up while taking a bath. Everyone at home is excited about Champa’s big day. They give her advice. “Take long and deep breaths before you sing.” “Give the audience your widest smile. Just be yourself.” “Drinking enough water and avoiding spicy and acidic food are essential for protecting your throat.” The day before her performance, Champa holds a special rehearsal (排练). It is a roaring success! Finally, it’s Annual Day. Champa is wearing the sweater that her grandfather knit specially for the show. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When it was her turn to sing, she seemed to get tongue-tied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That was when she saw Basant, waving wildly at her. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
