Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
4. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______.
A. poetic but abstract
B. scientific but tricky
C. strange and inaccurate
D. encouraging and professional
5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”?
A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts.
B. She needed online resources for air conditioning.
C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
D. She missed watching news about the hurricane.
6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather?
A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
B. Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C. Watching weather reports on television.
D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
7. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.
C
Some memories, such as what you had for dinner last night, are easier to recall than others. However, even forgotten memories could be guiding your actions.
Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and connections in the brain, known as an engram. It has been thought by many researchers that when you forget something, the engram disappears. However, research in mice suggests forgotten memories can persist; they just can’t be consciously recalled.
To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing.
Those who said they could remember chose the correct pairing 87 per cent of the time during both tests. Those who said they had forgotten got about half right. The participants who were unsure guessed correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were slightly higher than would be expected by chance which suggests this group may actually have remembered.
When the guessers chose the right answer, the same activation patterns were seen in the right hippocampal (海马的) region of the brain as in those who remembered, which implies the engrams of forgotten memories remained and were influencing their choices. In the tests done 24 hours later, the engrams of memories that people correctly guessed stayed within the hippocampus, while those they could remember were distributed throughout the neocortex (大脑新皮层).
The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily need to be consciously retrieved (提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.”
8. What does the underlined word “engram” in paragraph 2 probably mean ?
A. A tool used to measure memory. B. The process of forming memory.
C. The feeling of remembering something. D. A network of brain cells storing memory.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Participants and materials. B. Functions of brain scans.
C. Research methods and procedures. D. Causes of forgotten memories.
10 Why did researchers study those who were unsure?
A. To identify inattentive participants.
B. To compare brain activity patterns.
C. To see if guessing reveals hidden memories.
D. To prove that all memories can be recalled.
11. What is the key finding of the study in the passage?
A. Forgotten memories influence behavior unconsciously.
B. All memory traces are stored in the same part of brain.
C. Forgotten memories can be fully recovered with effort.
D. Conscious recall is necessary for memories to affect choices.
D
In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) set an ambitious goal: reduce the global physical inactivity rate by 10 percent by 2025. However, despite numerous public health campaigns and efforts tied to the Olympic Games, people are moving less than ever. The latest data indicates that 31 percent of adults worldwide aren’t meeting physical activity guidelines, a 5-percentage-point increase from 26 percent in 2010. Among teens, the numbers are worse: 81 percent aren’t moving enough.
So, what went wrong? From public health policy to urban design issues, there are numerous ways to criticize current strategies. However, some experts are asking a more fundamental question — have we been promoting physical activity all wrong? For years, public health campaigns have relied heavily on the “exercise is medicine” narrative to promote physical activity. We have all heard it time and again: get active if you want to prevent illnesses like diabetes and heart diseases. It is a message based on strong scientific evidence, and you would think that the promise of good health is the best possible motivator.
Benjamin Rigby, a UK public health researcher, argues that reducing movement merely as a way to prevent disease oversimplifies why people choose to be active. “We want to play, to laugh, to explore, to dance, and feel proud and ultimately, to have fun and feel good,” he says.
A growing number of studies support this idea of shifting the spotlight away from health-focused narratives. A UK analysis of 123 studies concluded that health reasons aren’t necessarily what motivate people to get off the couch. The most effective messages highlight the short-term rewards of being active — like feeling good, reducing stress or having fun with friends — not the threat of illness.
Solid evidence also shows that people are more likely to stay active when it’s fun. Enjoyment is linked to young people consistently participating in sports. And remember Pokémon GO ? That craze has its most engaged users walking an extra 1473 steps a day on average, just because they were excited to “catch ‘em all”.
Given the evidence, why haven’t public health messages tailored more closely with motivations centred on enjoyment? While health narratives appeal to institutions, with the next target of reducing inactivity by 15% by 2030, change is urgently needed.
12. What happened to the global physical inactivity rate between 2010 and 2025?
A. Teen inactivity decreased significantly.
B. Adult inactivity rose from 26% to 31%.
C. The 10% reduction goal was achieved.
D. WHO successfully reduced inactivity rate by 5%.
13. What’s the problem with the current physical activity promotion strategies?
A. They attach little importance to the Olympic Games.
B. They focus too much on the urban design issues.
C. They ignore the scientific evidence behind exercise.
D. They rely too much on health benefits as motivation.
14. Why does the author mention “Pokémon GO” in paragraph 5 ?
A. To present a fact. B. To give an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a concept.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Finding emotion in motion. B. Exercise is the best medicine.
C. Connecting others through games. D. A little movement for better health.
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。
Interrupting another person’s sentence is normally considered as undesirable. However, it is not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile (敌意) takeover of the sentence, which serves to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions. ___16___ And it can give a conversation momentum (动力). Over 30 years ago, communication scientist Julia A. Goldberg at the University of Wyoming categorized interruptions into three types—bad, good and neutral.
An interruption in the sense of gaining power almost always happens in front of an audience. And this is precisely the type of interruption that men tend to use. Sociologists from Princeton University found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor. ___17___ This is because “speaking time also has an influence on dominance”, says Kothoff.
___18___ These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b?”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting! ”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”). ___19___ The person speaking feels even more heard and there is a resonance(共鸣) between the two.
“Of course, even mild interruptions can be unpleasant for the person being interrupted,” according to communication trainer Jorg Abromeit. For example, when someone asks a question just as the speaker is about to expand on the important part of their message. Asking questions too quickly and too often can also be annoying. The situation is similar with the third group of interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning. ___20___
Therefore, the key to a successful interruption lies not in the act itself, but in the intention behind it and how it makes the other person feel.
A. Conversations between people are true works of art.
B. Being interrupted while speaking is a common thing to experience.
C. The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.
D. They are neither about power nor about relationship.
E. And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.
F. This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.
G. Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.

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。
The Thompson house was always noisy before school. Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell.
“Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace dearly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get.
As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested.
After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts.
注意:
1.续写词数应150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mia’s heart sank.

Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
4. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______.
A. poetic but abstract
B. scientific but tricky
C. strange and inaccurate
D. encouraging and professional
5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”?
A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts.
B. She needed online resources for air conditioning.
C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
D. She missed watching news about the hurricane.
6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather?
A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
B. Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C. Watching weather reports on television.
D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
7. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C

This is the place I love.’(“糟糕的天气到处都有,”她说。“时不时地,在推特上,你会看到有人说,你为什么住在那里?嗯,我住在这里是因为这是我的家。这是我长大的地方。这是我爱的地方。”)”可知,作者想传达的信息是情感依恋是人们与家乡联系在一起的原因。因此,C项“Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.(情感依恋是将人们与家乡联系在一起的东西。)”是正确答案。故选C项。
C
Some memories, such as what you had for dinner last night, are easier to recall than others. However, even forgotten memories could be guiding your actions.
Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and connections in the brain, known as an engram. It has been thought by many researchers that when you forget something, the engram disappears. However, research in mice suggests forgotten memories can persist; they just can’t be consciously recalled.
To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing.
Those who said they could remember chose the correct pairing 87 per cent of the time during both tests. Those who said they had forgotten got about half right. The participants who were unsure guessed correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were slightly higher than would be expected by chance, which suggests this group may actually have remembered.
When the guessers chose the right answer, the same activation patterns were seen in the right hippocampal (海马的) region of the brain as in those who remembered, which implies the engrams of forgotten memories remained and were influencing their choices. In the tests done 24 hours later, the engrams of memories that people correctly guessed stayed within the hippocampus, while those they could remember were distributed throughout the neocortex (大脑新皮层).
The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily need to be consciously retrieved (提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.”
8. What does the underlined word “engram” in paragraph 2 probably mean ?
A. A tool used to measure memory. B. The process of forming memory.
C. The feeling of remembering something. D. A network of brain cells storing memory.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Participants and materials. B. Functions of brain scans.
C. Research methods and procedures. D. Causes of forgotten memories.
10. Why did researchers study those who were unsure?
A. To identify inattentive participants.
B. To compare brain activity patterns.
C. To see if guessing reveals hidden memories.
D. To prove that all memories can be recalled.
11. What is the key finding of the study in the passage?
A. Forgotten memories influence behavior unconsciously.
B. All memory traces are stored in the same part of brain.
C. Forgotten memories can be fully recovered with effort.
D. Conscious recall is necessary for memories to affect choices.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了实验表明,人类被遗忘的记忆仍保留在大脑中,这些隐性记忆虽无法被有意识提取,但仍能无意识地影响行为决策。
8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and connections in the brain (记忆可以被定义为人们报告的内容,或者在物理上被定义为大脑中的细胞和连接回路)”可知,engram是指前面所说的“大脑中的细胞和连接回路”,即“存储记忆的脑细胞网络”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing. (为了验证被遗忘的记忆是否能在人类大脑中被检测到,伯尔尼大学的Tom Willems及其研究团队招募了40名受试者,让他们快速浏览96对由人脸和物体(如吉他或订书机)组成的图像组合。研究人员随后使用磁共振成像,分别在30分钟后和24小时后进行的测试中观察受试者的脑部活动。测试内容主要是询问受试者是否记得之前见过的图像配对。受试者还需说明他们是明确记得两张图像的关联、不确定,还是纯粹在猜测)”可知,该段详细说明了从招募40人参与实验,使用磁共振成像观测,进行记忆测试,到收集被试反馈的研究方法和实验流程。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The participants who were unsure guessed correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were slightly higher than would be expected by chance, which suggests this group may actually have remembered. (那些表示“不确定”的参与者在30分钟后的测试中猜对率为57%,24小时后为54%。这一正确率略高于随机概率,表明该组受试者实际上可能保留了潜在记忆)”可知,研究者通过分析不确定组的反应模式,发现了隐性记忆存在的证据,因此他们研究这一组人群是为了验证猜测行为是否反映潜在记忆。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily need to be consciously retrieved (提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.” (这项研究表明,我们有意识获取的记忆与大脑中相关的记忆痕迹之间可能存在脱节。正如研究人员艾米·米尔顿所解释的:“有些记忆不一定需要有意识地提取,就能对行为产生影响。”)”可知,该研究发现被遗忘的记忆会无意识地影响行为。故选A项。
D
In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) set an ambitious goal: reduce the global physical inactivity rate by 10 percent by 2025. However, despite numerous public health campaigns and efforts tied to the Olympic Games, people are moving less than ever. The latest data indicates that 31 percent of adults worldwide aren’t meeting physical activity guidelines, a 5-percentage-point increase from 26 percent in 2010. Among teens, the numbers are worse: 81 percent aren’t moving enough.
So, what went wrong? From public health policy to urban design issues, there are numerous ways to criticize current strategies. However, some experts are asking a more fundamental question — have we been promoting physical activity all wrong? For years, public health campaigns have relied heavily on the “exercise is medicine” narrative to promote physical activity. We have all heard it time and again: get active if you want to prevent illnesses like diabetes and heart diseases. It is a message based on strong scientific evidence, and you would think that the promise of good health is the best possible motivator.
Benjamin Rigby, a UK public health researcher, argues that reducing movement merely as a way to prevent disease oversimplifies why people choose to be active. “We want to play, to laugh, to explore, to dance, and feel proud and ultimately, to have fun and feel good,” he says.
A growing number of studies support this idea of shifting the spotlight away from health-focused narratives. A UK analysis of 123 studies concluded that health reasons aren’t necessarily what motivate people to get off the couch. The most effective messages highlight the short-term rewards of being active — like feeling good, reducing stress or having fun with friends — not the threat of illness.
Solid evidence also shows that people are more likely to stay active when it’s fun. Enjoyment is linked to young people consistently participating in sports. And remember Pokémon GO ? That craze has its most engaged users walking an extra 1473 steps a day on average, just because they were excited to “catch ‘em all”.
Given the evidence, why haven’t public health messages tailored more closely with motivations centred on enjoyment? While health narratives appeal to institutions, with the next target of reducing inactivity by 15% by 2030, change is urgently needed.
12. What happened to the global physical inactivity rate between 2010 and 2025?
A. Teen inactivity decreased significantly.
B. Adult inactivity rose from 26% to 31%.
C. The 10% reduction goal was achieved.
D. WHO successfully reduced inactivity rate by 5%.
13. What’s the problem with the current physical activity promotion strategies?
A. They attach little importance to the Olympic Games.
B. They focus too much on the urban design issues.
C. They ignore the scientific evidence behind exercise.
D. They rely too much on health benefits as motivation.
14. Why does the author mention “Pokémon GO” in paragraph 5 ?
A. To present a fact. B. To give an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a concept.
15 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Finding emotion in motion. B. Exercise is the best medicine.
C. Connecting others through games. D. A little movement for better health.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述WHO2025目标未达成,专家认为应转用乐趣而非健康推动运动。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The latest data indicates that 31 percent of adults worldwide aren’t meeting physical activity guidelines, a 5-percentage-point increase from 26 percent in 2010.(最新数据显示,全球31%的成年人没有达到身体活动指南的标准,比2010年的26%上升了5个百分点。)”可知,2010年至2025年,成年人身体不活动的比例从26%上升到了31%。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For years, public health campaigns have relied heavily on the “exercise is medicine” narrative to promote physical activity.(多年来,公共卫生运动严重依赖“运动就是良药”的说法来推广体育活动。)”以及第三段中“Benjamin Rigby, a UK public health researcher, argues that reducing movement merely as a way to prevent disease oversimplifies why people choose to be active.(英国公共卫生研究员Benjamin Rigby认为,仅仅将减少运动作为一种预防疾病的方式,过于简化了人们选择运动的原因。)”可知,当前身体活动推广策略的问题在于过于依赖健康益处作为动力。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Solid evidence also shows that people are more likely to stay active when it’s fun. Enjoyment is linked to young people consistently participating in sports. And remember Pokémon GO ? That craze has its most engaged users walking an extra 1473 steps a day on average, just because they were excited to “catch ‘em all”.(确凿的证据还表明,当运动有趣时,人们更有可能保持活跃。享受与年轻人持续参与体育活动有关。还记得《精灵宝可梦GO》吗?这款游戏最热心的用户平均每天多走1473步,只是因为他们很兴奋能“抓住它们”。)”可知,作者提到《精灵宝可梦GO》是为了举例说明当运动有趣时,人们更有可能保持活跃。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“However, some experts are asking a more fundamental question — have we been promoting physical activity all wrong?(然而,一些专家提出了一个更根本的问题——我们一直以来都在错误地推广体育活动吗?)”以及最后一段中“Given the evidence, why haven’t public health messages tailored more closely with motivations centred on enjoyment?(鉴于这些证据,为什么公共卫生信息没有更紧密地围绕以享受为中心的动机来定制呢?)”可知,文章主要论述了全球身体不活动率上升,指出当前推广体育活动的策略存在问题,过于依赖健康益处作为动力,而忽视了运动的乐趣,应该关注运动的乐趣来推广体育活动。故A选项“Finding emotion in motion(在运动中寻找情感共鸣)”最符合文章标题。故选A。
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。
Interrupting another person’s sentence is normally considered as undesirable. However, it is not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile (敌意的) takeover of the sentence, which serves to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions. ___16___ And it can give a conversation momentum (动力). Over 30 years ago, communication scientist Julia A. Goldberg at the University of Wyoming categorized interruptions into three types—bad, good and neutral.
An interruption in the sense of gaining power almost always happens in front of an audience. And this is precisely the type of interruption that men tend to use. Sociologists from Princeton University found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor. ___17___ This is because “speaking time also has an influence on dominance”, says Kothoff.
___18___ These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b?”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting! ”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”). ___19___ The person speaking feels even more heard and there is a resonance(共鸣) between the two.
“Of course, even mild interruptions can be unpleasant for the person being interrupted,” according to communication trainer Jorg Abromeit. For example, when someone asks a question just as the speaker is about to expand on the important part of their message. Asking questions too quickly and too often can also be annoying. The situation is similar with the third group of interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning. ___20___
Therefore, the key to a successful interruption lies not in the act itself, but in the intention behind it and how it makes the other person feel.
A. Conversations between people are true works of art.
B. Being interrupted while speaking is a common thing to experience.
C. The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.
D. They are neither about power nor about relationship.
E. And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.
F This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.
G. Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. D
【解析】

上文“However, it is not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile takeover of the sentence, which serves to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions.(然而,这并不总是同样无礼的。除了为了控制而进行的敌意打断之外,还有一些友好甚至积极的打断。)”表明存在积极的打断这一情况;G选项“Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.(打断也可以是有帮助的、非常值得赞赏的。)”进一步阐述了打断的积极意义,与上文衔接紧密,符合题意。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“Sociologists from Princeton University found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor.(普林斯顿大学的社会学家发现,群体越大,男性就越有可能掌控话语权。)”指出了群体大小与男性掌控话语权的关系;E选项“And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.(男性越有权势,他们说话的时间就越长。)”承接上文,进一步说明了有权势的男性与说话时间长短的关联,符合题意。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据后文“These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b?”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting!”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”).(这些打断行为可以用来表达兴趣,例如通过快速提出一个问题(“您指的是9b组的米娜吗?”)、迅速对某事发表评论(“太令人兴奋了!”)或者发出赞同的哼声(“嗯”))”可知,第一段提到Goldberg 将打断分为“坏、好、中性”三类,第二段已介绍“不好的打断(争夺权力)”,故此处应过渡到“好的打断”,本句需要对应 “三类”的分类,又引出后文“表达兴趣、产生共鸣”等“好的打断” 的作用。C选项“The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.(另一方面,第二种打断巩固了一种关系。)”起到了承上启下的作用,引出下文对第二种打断的阐述,符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b?”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting!”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”).(这些打断行为可以用来表达兴趣,例如通过快速提出一个问题(“您指的是9b组的米娜吗?”)、迅速对某事发表评论(“太令人兴奋了!”)或者发出赞同的哼声(“嗯”))”列举了一些表达兴趣的打断方式;F选项“This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.(这向对方表明你参与其中并且在情感上投入了。)”解释了这些打断方式所传达的信号,即表明参与和情感投入,符合题意。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“The situation is similar with the third group of interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning.(第三种打断,即中立的打断,情况也类似。它们没有更深层的意义。)”说明了中立打断没有深层次的意义;D选项“They are neither about power nor about relationship.(它们既不关乎权力,也不关乎关系。)”进一步阐述了中立打断的特点,与上文内容相符,符合题意。故选D。

【答案】36. collectible##collectable
37. whose 38. fueled
39. had earned
40. coverage
41. sharing
42. to 43. products
44. growing
45. to connect
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述Labubu从绘本角色发展为全球收藏热潮,其成功归功于独特设计、盲盒营销和明星推广。它创造了跨界收藏文化并带来巨大收益,但也引发了过度消费的争议。Labubu的崛起被视为中国软实力增长的体现,展现了文化IP的全球影响力。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Labubu是卡辛·隆格所著《怪物》一书中的一种长着歪牙的森林精灵。它原本只是非主流作品中的一个小众宠儿,如今却已成为全球范围内广受追捧的热门角色。空格前是副词 globally,后面是名词 hit(成功的事物)。这里需要一个形容词来修饰 hit,表示“可收藏的爆款/热门藏品”。collect 的形容词形式为 collectible(美式英语常用)或 collectable(英式英语常用),两者皆可。故填collectible/collectable。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这个角色,其性别和九颗牙齿是关键识别特征,以其可爱与反叛魅力的独特融合赢得了艺术玩具爱好者的心。空格后是名词短语gender and nine teeth,整个句子是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰主语This character,并在从句中作定语,表示“它的性别和牙齿”,因此使用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Labubu的成功,由像Lisa和Rihanna这样的明星推广所推动,没有放缓的迹象。“(fuel) by the promotion of celebrities like Lisa and Rihanna”作定语,修饰success, success与fuel(推动)之间是被动关系,意思是“成功被……所推动”。因此需要用fuel的过去分词形式 fueled 来构成过去分词短语作后置定语,表被动和完成。故填fueled。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:到2024年,The Monsters IP(以泡泡玛特为中心)已经赚取了超过30亿元人民币,推动泡泡玛特的全球扩张。句首的时间状语 By 2024 表示“到2024年为止”,这是一个典型的过去完成时(had + done)的标志。过去完成时表示动作在过去某一时间点(2024年)或动作(pushing)之前已经完成。赚取收入的动作在“推动全球扩张”之前就已经完成并持续产生影响。故填had earned。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:Labubu的影响力遍及整个亚洲,其作品一经发布便引得众多观众排队等候,各大媒体如英国广播公司也对其进行了广泛的报道。空格前是形容词 extensive(广泛的),后面需要一个名词作宾语。cover 的名词形式是 coverage,意为“覆盖、报道”,extensive coverage 是常见搭配,指“广泛的媒体报道”。故填coverage。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“盲盒”模式,再加上开盒视频以及粉丝社群分享各自的发现,共同催生了一种跨地域的收藏文化。空格所在部分“fan communities _____ their finds”是and 连接的并列成分之一。fan communities和share是主动关系,即“粉丝社区分享他们的收获”,用现在分词短语sharing their finds作后置定语,修饰fan communities,相当于定语从句which share their finds。故填sharing。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,关于与这种模式相关的过度消费和类似赌博倾向的争论依然存在。be tied to 是一个固定短语,意为“与……相关,与……有联系”。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:拉布布的走红导致出现了仿制品(“拉富夫”),因此检查工作至关重要:九颗牙齿的排列、良好的涂漆、甚至缝合处都要仔细检查,“波普马特/卡辛”雕像的这些细节是避免仿制品的关键所在。空格前是名词 imitation(仿制品),它在这里起形容词作用,修饰空格处的名词。imitation product 或 imitation products 意为“仿冒产品”。由于是泛指一类产品,使用复数形式 products作宾语。故填products。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如今,拉布布事件引发了关于文化影响力的讨论,这被视为中国在提升自身软实力方面所取得的进展。空格前是名词所有格 China’s,后面是名词soft power。这里需要一个形容词来修饰 soft power。grow的现在分词growing可以转化为形容词,意为“增长中的、日益增长的”,China’s growing soft power表示“中国日益增长的软实力”。故填growing。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从一本书到成为全球知名作品的这一历程,展现了设计的魅力、叙事的力量,以及角色跨越国界建立联系的能力。ability to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“做某事的能力”。空格处需要填入动词connect 的不定式形式to connect作定语。to connect worldwide 意为“与全世界建立联系”。故填to connect。

【答案】Dear Mike,
I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for sharing me with your worries about using AI for English essays. After careful consideration, here is what I think.
While AI boosts efficiency and language skills relying too heavily on it risks slowing your growth. For one thing, writing isn’t just creating text — it’s a journey to develop critical thinking, creativity, and self-expression. For another, letting AI draft essays for you takes away chances to promote your ability to improve vocabulary and polish sentences. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you should organize your ideas first, and then turn to AI for grammar checks or inspiration, which enables you to develop skills while using tech’s benefits. Never forget: AI amplifies your potential but can’t replace your originality.
Stay curious, and trust your potential! Feel free to discuss it further.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
The Thompson house was always noisy before school. Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell.
“Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace dearly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get.
As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested.
After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts.
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。
Mia’s heart sank.

The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Mia’s heart sank. She stared at the broken shells on the floor, her breath caught in her throat. “You knew this was special” She picked up the pieces, her voice shaking. “Get out” Leo stepped back quickly. “I didn’t mean to…” he whispered, his voice shaking. “You never mean to” she screamed. Leo’s face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick up the pieces. Mia turned away, unable to speak. That night, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, remembering Grandma’s warm hands and gentle voice: “Patience” She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace.
The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. On top was a note, written in shaky letters: “I’m sorry, Mia. I tried to fix it.” Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart. At the center was a new shell — small, but shining — clearly one Leo had found himself. Mia smiled through tears. It wasn’t perfect, but it was filled with love. She picked up the necklace and gently placed it around her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Leo.”
