We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake. I almost danced to get my coat — a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (架子) and put it on. Wait, what? It reached below my ankle, not my knee. And I guessed it to be a size 16, not my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected. But no call came that night, nor the next day. Heartick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. Months later, another freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner. I pulled the coat off its hanger, pursing my lips about my lost coat. “Wow” Penny, an old friend, exclaimed as soon as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hostess. I arched am eyebrow. “You’re kidding. It’s four sizes too big.” I nearly launched into the whole story, but their words stopped me. For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label. I frowned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge. The following week, the temperature dropped sharply. As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car, I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Now I wear it with pleasure. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She valued the family time. B. She led a luxurious lifestyle. C. She performed a dance that day. D. She was dissatisfied at the service. 5. How did she feel when she found the coat mix-up? A. Angry and regretful. B. Calm and grateful. C. Depressed but hopeful. D. Confused but unconcerned. 6. What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A. The advice from her friends. B. The reflection deep in her heart. C. The free service from a woman. D. The dramatic drop of temperature. 7. What does she intend to convey through the story? A. Don’t cry over spilt milk. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在餐厅误拿大衣后作者想办法应对的故事，传递出积极面对意外的生活态度。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic.(我们很少外出就餐，节日船只的景象更增添了一丝魔力。)”以及第二段中的“Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake.(我们边笑边聊，把晚餐延长到了将近两个小时，最后还一起分享了巧克力蛋糕。)”可知，作者和丈夫很少外出就餐，却愿意花时间享受这顿晚餐，珍惜相处时光，由此可推断她重视家庭时光，故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected.(我强忍着泪水，把电话号码留给了女服务员，确信这个误会很快就会解决。) 以及 “HeartSick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting.(我心里很难过，把那件太大的大衣挂在衣柜里，依然在等待。)”可知，作者发现拿错大衣时，强忍泪水（难过沮丧），但又留下电话等待解决（抱有希望），因此她的感受是沮丧但抱有希望，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition?(我需要调整心态吗？如果我对这件意外得到的东西持积极态度，而不是消极态度，会怎么样呢？)”以及最后一段中的“Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge.(我没有抱怨，而是问自己需要做些什么才能喜欢上这件大衣。我请教堂的一位女士免费修改了它。)” 可知，是作者内心的反思（调整心态、积极面对）促使她决定修改大衣，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“HeartSick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. (我心里很难过，把那件太大的大衣挂在衣柜里，依然在等待。)”，倒数第二段中的“Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition?(我需要调整心态吗？如果我对这件意外得到的东西持积极态度，而不是消极态度，会怎么样呢？)”以及最后一段中的““Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge.(我没有抱怨，而是问自己需要做些什么才能喜欢上这件大衣。我请教堂的一位女士免费修改了它。)”并浏览全文可知，作者误拿不合身的大衣后，从最初的失落，到反思后转变心态，将大衣修改后愉快穿着，体现了“把意外的不如意转化为积极结果”的态度。选项D“当生活给你柠檬时，就做柠檬水（意为：积极面对困境，化不利为有利）” 是作者通过这个故事想要向我们传达的信息。故选D。 C Buildings and construction contribute to over 37% of global carbon emissions (排放), which include both operational emissions (from heating, cooling, and lighting) and embodied carbon (from building materials and construction activities). Retrofitting existing buildings —especially deep retrofits — can significantly cut these emissions while also improving health, comfort, and reducing long-term energy costs for residents. Environmental scientist Diana Ürge-Vorsatz emphasizes that deep retrofits reduce heating and cooling energy use by 80-90%. Unlike minor upgrades, such as replacing windows or doors, deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation, windows, air sealing, and ventilation systems. This “whole-building” approach treats the structure as an integrated system. Research shows that, in addition to saving energy, deep retrofits lead to cleaner indoor air, fewer allergens, and lower rates of respiratory illness. To meet international climate targets, the European Union aims to cut building-related emissions sharply by 2050. Ürge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals. She recommends using funds from fossil fuels to support energy-efficient upgrades. Reducing unnecessary new construction — especially of luxury homes — and reusing existing buildings are also crucial strategies. Another key focus is using biobased insulation materials, made from fast-growing plants such as hemp, straw, or even seaweed like Posidonia, which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins (毒素). However, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges. To better understand the environmental impacts of building materials, Ürge-Vorsatz and her team use life cycle assessments, which evaluate the total impact of materials from production to end-of-life. Though complex, these tools help builders and policymakers make informed choices. Ürge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional. “Will we manage it? That’s not the question,” she says. “We have to. The future is always in our hands.” 8. What does “deep retrofit” mainly involve? A. Construction of new homes. B. Addition of decorative materials. C. Window and door replacement. D. Energy saving and system upgrade. 9. What probably makes for the realization of “deep retrofits”? A. Bringing in investment. B. Constructing luxury houses. C. Avoiding existing buildings. D. Using fossil fuels efficiently. 10. What is the main difficulty of using biobased materials? A. Heavy toxicity. B. Fast growth. C. Unstable sourcing. D. Carbon storage. 11. What does Ürge-Vorsatz imply in the last paragraph? A. Life cycle assessments are simple tools. B. Deep retrofits should be put into practice. C. Life cycle assessments require wise choices. D. Deep retrofits will encounter many difficulties. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对现有建筑进行深度改造可大幅减少碳排放，同时介绍了深度改造的内容、实现方式、所用材料及相关建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Environmental scientist Diana Ürge-Vorsatz emphasizes that deep retrofits reduce heating and cooling energy use by 80-90%. Unlike minor upgrades, such as replacing windows or doors, deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation, windows, air sealing, and ventilation systems. This “whole-building” approach treats the structure as an integrated system. Research shows that, in addition to saving energy, deep retrofits lead to cleaner indoor air, fewer allergens, and lower rates of respiratory illness.(环境科学家Diana Ürge-Vorsatz强调，深度翻新可将供暖和制冷能耗降低 80% 至 90%。与更换门窗等小型升级不同，深度翻新需要对隔热层、窗户、气密性和通风系统进行全面重新设计。这种 “整栋建筑” 改造思路将建筑结构视为一个有机整体系统。研究表明，除节能外，深度翻新还能让室内空气更清洁、减少过敏原，并降低呼吸道疾病的发病率。)”可知，“深度改造”主要涉及节能和系统升级。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Ürge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals.(Ürge-Vorsatz认为，强有力的资金支持至关重要，因为对大多数人来说，成本太高了。)”可知，引入投资可能有助于实现“深度改造”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Another key focus is using biobased insulation materials, made from fast-growing plants such as hemp, straw, or even seaweed like Posidonia, which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins (毒素). However, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges.(另一个重点方向是使用生物基隔热材料，这类材料由大麻、稻草，甚至波喜荡草这类海藻等速生植物制成。它们不仅能减少对化石燃料的依赖，还具备碳储存潜力，且释放的毒素更少。然而，这类材料的供应有限，如何实现可持续采集也面临挑战。)”可知，使用生物基材料的主要困难是来源不稳定。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ürge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional. “Will we manage it? That’s not the question,” she says. “We have to. The future is always in our hands.”(Ürge-Vorsatz总结道，深度改造与可持续材料相结合绝不是可选的。“我们能做到吗？这不是问题所在，”她说。“我们必须做到。未来永远掌握在我们手中。”)”可知，Ürge-Vorsatz在最后一段暗示深度改造应该付诸实践。故选B。 D As human species, our big brains and flexible hands have always made us feel special. However, in a study published in the journal Communications Biology, researchers investigated nearly 100 primate species including monkeys, apes and humans and revealed that the creatures with longer thumbs (拇指) usually had larger brains. The researchers assumed that our ancestors first evolved (进化) hand flexibility, which then promoted the development of a larger brain. For instance, as primates’ control of objects improved, their brains would have had to become bigger to use these abilities, Joanna Baker, lead author of the study said. “Ultimately, though, the two needed to go hand in hand,” she adds. While Baker and her colleagues predicted that longer thumbs would be tied to growth of the cerebellum — the part of the brain that influences movement and coordination (协调), the team was surprised to find that they are actually associated with the neocortex, a large region involved in cognition and sensory information. This suggests that longer thumbs are “linked to thinking, not movement.” Later, they tested the idea that the evolution of longer thumbs is associated with tool use, but they didn’t find any correlation. Ultimately, “we’ve always known that our big brains and sharp fingers set us apart, but now we can see they didn’t evolve separately,” Baker says. The study suggests our species is not quite as unique as we once thought, and it also represents the first direct evidence that brain evolution and hand flexibility are associated throughout the primate family tree. Fotios Alexandros Karakostis a biological anthropologist who was not involved in the study, comments that the research indicates that adaptations to the brain and hand likely evolved together. However, he notes that the brain size and thumb length cannot take only credit for the brain evolution or high level of hand coordination. 12. What was the assumption of the researchers according to paragraph 2? A. Brain evolution determined hand size. B. Bigger brains made humans intelligent. C. Object control was easy for ancestors. D. Hand flexibility drove brain development. 13. Why does the author mention “tool use” in paragraph 3? A. To make a prediction. B. To clarify a concept. C. To present a different view. D. To offer supporting evidence. 14. What is Karakostis’ attitude towards the research? A. Favourable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The bigger the brain, the longer the thumb. B. Big brains and sharp fingers set humans apart. C. Primate brains and thumbs evolve together. D. Evolution mainly depends on brains and hands. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在《通讯生物学》杂志上发表的一项研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers assumed that our ancestors first evolved (进化) hand flexibility, which then promoted the development of a larger brain.(研究人员假设，我们的祖先首先进化出了手部灵活性，随后这促进了更大大脑的发育。)” 可知，研究人员的假设是手部灵活性推动了大脑发育，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While Baker and her colleagues predicted that longer thumbs would be tied to growth of the cerebellum — the part of the brain that influences movement and coordination (协调), the team was surprised to find that they are actually associated with the neocortex, a large region involved in cognition and sensory information. This suggests that longer thumbs are “linked to thinking, not movement.” Later, they tested the idea that the evolution of longer thumbs is associated with tool use, but they didn’t find any correlation.(虽然Baker和她的同事预测，较长的拇指与小脑（影响运动和协调的大脑部分）的生长有关，但研究小组惊讶地发现，它们实际上与新皮层有关，新皮层是一个参与认知和感觉信息的巨大区域。这表明，较长的拇指与“思维有关，而不是运动”。后来，他们测试了拇指较长进化与工具使用有关的观点，但没有发现任何相关性。）”可知，作者提到“工具使用”强化了前文得出的核心结论——“较长拇指与思考相关，而非运动相关”，为此结论提供了支撑证据。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fotios Alexandros Karakostis... comments that the research indicates that adaptations to the brain and hand likely evolved together. However, he notes that the brain size and thumb length cannot take only credit for the brain evolution or high level of hand coordination.(未参与该研究的生物人类学家福提奥斯・亚历山德罗斯・卡拉科斯蒂斯评论称，这项研究表明大脑和手部的适应性可能是共同进化的。然而，他指出，大脑大小和拇指长度不能单独被视为大脑进化或高水平手部协调能力的唯一原因。)”可知，卡拉科斯蒂斯既肯定了研究的结论（大脑和手部共同进化），又指出了研究结论的局限性（并非唯一原因），态度客观，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, in a study published in the journal Communications Biology, researchers investigated nearly 100 primate species including monkeys, apes and humans and revealed that the creatures with longer thumbs (拇指) usually had larger brains.(然而，在《通讯生物学》杂志上发表的一项研究中，研究人员调查了近100种灵长类动物，包括猴子、猿和人类，发现拇指较长的生物通常大脑更大。)”以及最后一段中的“Fotios Alexandros Karakostis, a biological anthropologist who was not involved in the study, comments that the research indicates that adaptations to the brain and hand likely evolved together.(没有参与这项研究的生物人类学家Fotios Alexandros Karakostis评论说，这项研究表明，大脑和手的适应性可能是一起进化的。)”可知，文章主要讲的是灵长类动物的大脑和拇指是一起进化的。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. ____16____ Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life. Redefine what patience actually means. If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. ____17____ Let it happen without destroying your mood. ____18____ A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”. At its core, impatience often comes from “main character energy, ” — you stay focused on living your life. ____19____ They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too. So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first. Slow down your life with your physical movements. When everything is seemingly urgent or overwhelming, slowing down seems like the last thing you would want to do. But rushing around only makes you more annoyed, restless, and anxious. On the contrary, when you physically slow down, your brain tends to follow. Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. ____20____ A. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. B. Change your own attitude towards others. C. In fact, it is something that you can work on. D. It makes sense to control yourself and be patient. E. Plus, when you are stuck in frustration, it is hard to consider others. F. Patience is about learning to let go of the need to control everything. G. That is how you begin to think more clearly and handle whatever is testing your patience. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出耐心并非天生，而是可以通过后天培养获得的品质，并给出了通过重新定义耐心、建立共情、放慢生活节奏等方式来培养耐心的建议。 【16题详解】 上文“But patience is not necessarily a born quality.(但耐心不一定是与生俱来的品质)”表明耐心并非天生，下文“Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life.(这里有一些关于如何在日常生活中更有耐心的建议)”则指出有方法可以培养耐心，C选项“In fact, it is something that you can work on.(事实上，这是你可以努力的事情)”承上启下，说明了耐心是可以通过后天努力培养的，符合题意。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient.(如果你对耐心的理解是永远讨人喜欢，从不生气，在任何不便的情况下都保持冷静，那么难怪你觉得耐心是不可能的)”描述了一种对耐心的误解，F选项“Patience is about learning to let go of the need to control everything.(耐心是学会放弃控制一切的需要)”则是对耐心的一种正确理解，即耐心不是控制一切，而是学会放手，符合题意。故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”.(当生活不如意时，我们会如此沮丧的一个主要原因是，我们紧握着一堆未说出口的“应该”)”以及后文提到的共情，说明本段主要讲述的是要理解他人，站在他人的角度思考问题，A选项“Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.(设身处地为别人着想)”概括了本段的主旨，符合题意。故选A。 【19题详解】 下文“They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too.(他们可能也在处理自己的延误、变化和优先事项)”说明别人也有自己的难处，E选项“Plus, when you are stuck in frustration, it is hard to consider others.(另外，当你陷入沮丧时，很难考虑别人)”则指出当你沮丧时很难考虑别人，与下文形成对比，强调了要理解他人，符合题意。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“On the contrary, when you physically slow down, your brain tends to follow. Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience.(相反，当你身体放慢速度时，你的大脑也会跟着放慢。甚至只是花更多的时间深呼吸几次，就能在逐渐培养耐心方面创造奇迹)”说明了放慢身体速度对培养耐心的好处，G选项“That is how you begin to think more clearly and handle whatever is testing your patience.(这就是你如何开始更清晰地思考并处理任何考验你耐心的事情)”则进一步解释了放慢速度后你能更清晰地思考和处理问题，符合题意。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There’s an autumn day that I recall every time I find myself caught up in the busy life.

My mind was filled with self-doubt — I was too overweight, too weak, and a total fool for attempting this struggle. After climbing only one hour, I felt worn out, physically and mentally, and wanted to turn back. I told the guide staying with me at the back that I couldn’t go any further. His words were simple but struck a chord, “That doesn’t sound like you. Keep going. You can do it.” I don’t know why, but something in his tone made me turn around. With renewed resolve, I placed one foot slowly in front of the other. By the time I reached the first rest point, most fellow climbers had already left. I hurried to drink and eat, anxious not to fall further behind. Sitting alone on a cold rock in the darkness, a deep wave of disappointment washed over me. Nine months earlier, I had promised to change my life and prove anything was possible. But here, at 2 a.m., after three hours of climbing, I felt I had completely overestimated myself. This thought sparked a familiar anger, one that had once ruled my life. But now, instead of letting it consume me, I would let it fuel me. This wasn’t just a climb between the mountain and me but also a proof of my rebirth. Suddenly I stood up, looked at the guide and said, “I’ll keep going.” Though doubt flashed in his eyes, my resolution was absolute. That was when my tears started. I cried not only from exhaustion but from the weight of my promise and the pressure. I hid my face under my hood (兜帽) and snood (围脖) and pushed on. I stumbled and fell countless times tears freezing on my cheeks. For the next few hours, I climbed over snow-covered rocks, laughing bitterly at the absurd struggle and endlessly repeating to myself: just one more step. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Around 6:00 a.m., I saw some climbers heading back down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It took nine hours instead of the expected six, but I made it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Around 6:00 a.m., I saw some climbers heading back down. They shook their heads when passing me, saying the top was still far and the wind was getting stronger. My legs screamed to stop, but the promise I made to myself echoed in my mind. I tightened my hood, gripped the rock harder, and kept moving. The faint glow of sunrise soon painted the sky pink—this small light felt like a gift, pushing me to take just one more step. It took nine hours instead of the expected six, but I made it. When I finally stood at the top, the view of rolling clouds below took my breath away. Tears of joy mixed with the cold wind. I didn’t just climb a mountain; I proved I could keep going even when everything felt impossible. That day, I realized rebirth isn’t about being perfect—it’s about refusing to give up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在登山过程中经历身体与精神的双重考验，从自我怀疑到通过坚持实现蜕变的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大约早上6点，我看到一些登山者正在往回走。”可知，第一段可描写作者面对其他登山者劝退时的心理挣扎，以及如何通过调整装备和心态继续前行。 ②由第二段首句内容“虽然实际用了九个小时，比预期的六个小时要长，但我还是成功了。”可知，第二段可描写作者登顶后的情感释放与对坚持意义的领悟，通过自然景象强化主题。 2.续写线索： 登山者劝退——内心动摇——调整装备——黎明曙光激励——坚持攀爬——登顶成功——喜极而泣——领悟坚持真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续前进：keep moving/keep going/move on ②令人惊叹：take one’s breath away/amaze sb/stun sb ③放弃：give up/quit/abandon 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/happiness/delight ②完美的：perfect/flawless 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I finally stood at the top, the view of rolling clouds below took my breath away.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】I proved I could keep going even when everything felt impossible.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略，when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖北省2025-2026学年度上学期高二10月月考 高二英语试卷 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并认真核准准考证号条形码上的以上信息，将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B We sat at a riverside restaurant on the Willamette River, enjoying spaghetti and watching Christmas boats pass. “Isn’t this the best evening ever?” I said, grasping my husband’s hand. We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake. I almost danced to get my coat — a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (架子) and put it on. Wait, what? It reached below my ankle, not my knee. And I guessed it to be a size 16, not my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected. But no call came that night, nor the next day. Heartick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. Months later, another freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner. I pulled the coat off its hanger, pursing my lips about my lost coat. “Wow” Penny, an old friend, exclaimed as soon as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hostess. I arched am eyebrow. “You’re kidding. It’s four sizes too big.” I nearly launched into the whole story, but their words stopped me. For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label. I frowned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge. The following week, the temperature dropped sharply. As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car, I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Now I wear it with pleasure. 4.

What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A The advice from her friends. B. The reflection deep in her heart. C. The free service from a woman. D. The dramatic drop of temperature. 7. What does she intend to convey through the story? A. Don’t cry over spilt milk. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. C Buildings and construction contribute to over 37% of global carbon emissions (排放), which include both operational emissions (from heating, cooling, and lighting) and embodied carbon (from building materials and construction activities). Retrofitting existing buildings —especially deep retrofits — can significantly cut these emissions while also improving health, comfort, and reducing long-term energy costs for residents. Environmental scientist Diana Ürge-Vorsatz emphasizes that deep retrofits reduce heating and cooling energy use by 80-90%. Unlike minor upgrades, such as replacing windows or doors, deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation, windows, air sealing, and ventilation systems. This “whole-building” approach treats the structure as an integrated system. Research shows that, in addition to saving energy, deep retrofits lead to cleaner indoor air, fewer allergens, and lower rates of respiratory illness. To meet international climate targets, the European Union aims to cut building-related emissions sharply by 2050. Ürge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals. She recommends using funds from fossil fuels to support energy-efficient upgrades. Reducing unnecessary new construction — especially of luxury homes — and reusing existing buildings are also crucial strategies. Another key focus is using biobased insulation materials, made from fast-growing plants such as hemp, straw, or even seaweed like Posidonia, which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins (毒素). However, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges. To better understand the environmental impacts of building materials, Ürge-Vorsatz and her team use life cycle assessments, which evaluate the total impact of materials from production to end-of-life. Though complex, these tools help builders and policymakers make informed choices. Ürge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional. “Will we manage it? That’s not the question,” she says. “We have to. The future is always in our hands.” 8. What does “deep retrofit” mainly involve? A. Construction of new homes. B. Addition of decorative materials. C. Window and door replacement. D. Energy saving and system upgrade. 9. What probably makes for the realization of “deep retrofits”? A. Bringing in investment. B. Constructing luxury houses. C. Avoiding existing buildings. D. Using fossil fuels efficiently. 10. What is the main difficulty of using biobased materials? A. Heavy toxicity. B. Fast growth. C. Unstable sourcing. D. Carbon storage. 11. What does Ürge-Vorsatz imply in the last paragraph? A. Life cycle assessments are simple tools. B. Deep retrofits should be put into practice. C. Life cycle assessments require wise choices. D. Deep retrofits will encounter many difficulties. D As human species, our big brains and flexible hands have always made us feel special. However, in a study published in the journal Communications Biology, researchers investigated nearly 100 primate species including monkeys, apes and humans and revealed that the creatures with longer thumbs (拇指) usually had larger brains. The researchers assumed that our ancestors first evolved (进化) hand flexibility, which then promoted the development of a larger brain. For instance, as primates’ control of objects improved, their brains would have had to become bigger to use these abilities, Joanna Baker, lead author of the study said. “Ultimately, though, the two needed to go hand in hand,” she adds. While Baker and her colleagues predicted that longer thumbs would be tied to growth of the cerebellum — the part of the brain that influences movement and coordination (协调), the team was surprised to find that they are actually associated with the neocortex, a large region involved in cognition and sensory information. This suggests that longer thumbs are “linked to thinking, not movement.” Later, they tested the idea that the evolution of longer thumbs is associated with tool use, but they didn’t find any correlation. Ultimately, “we’ve always known that our big brains and sharp fingers set us apart, but now we can see they didn’t evolve separately,” Baker says. The study suggests our species is not quite as unique as we once thought, and it also represents the first direct evidence that brain evolution and hand flexibility are associated throughout the primate family tree. Fotios Alexandros Karakostis, a biological anthropologist who was not involved in the study, comments that the research indicates that adaptations to the brain and hand likely evolved together. However, he notes that the brain size and thumb length cannot take only credit for the brain evolution or high level of hand coordination. 12. What was the assumption of the researchers according to paragraph 2? A. Brain evolution determined hand size. B. Bigger brains made humans intelligent. C. Object control was easy for ancestors. D.

My mind was filled with self-doubt — I was too overweight, too weak, and a total fool for attempting this struggle. After climbing only one hour, I felt worn out, physically and mentally, and wanted to turn back. I told the guide staying with me at the back that I couldn’t go any further. His words were simple but struck a chord, “That doesn’t sound like you. Keep going. You can do it.” I don’t know why, but something in his tone made me turn around. With renewed resolve, I placed one foot slowly in front of the other. By the time I reached the first rest point, most fellow climbers had already left. I hurried to drink and eat, anxious not to fall further behind. Sitting alone on a cold rock in the darkness, a deep wave of disappointment washed over me. Nine months earlier, I had promised to change my life and prove anything was possible. But here, at 2 a.m., after three hours of climbing, I felt I had completely overestimated myself. This thought sparked a familiar anger, one that had once ruled my life. But now, instead of letting it consume me, I would let it fuel me. This wasn’t just a climb between the mountain and me but also a proof of my rebirth. Suddenly I stood up, looked at the guide and said, “I’ll keep going.” Though doubt flashed in his eyes, my resolution was absolute. That was when my tears started. I cried not only from exhaustion but from the weight of my promise and the pressure. I hid my face under my hood (兜帽) and snood (围脖) and pushed on. I stumbled and fell countless times, tears freezing on my cheeks. For the next few hours, I climbed over snow-covered rocks, laughing bitterly at the absurd struggle and endlessly repeating to myself: just one more step. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Around 6:00 a.m., I saw some climbers heading back down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It took nine hours instead of the expected six, but I made it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
