That’s what 42-year-old Shyju Machathi, a policeman living in Kannapuram in the Southern Indian state of Kerala, found out when his town was declared an “Indigenous Mango Heritage Area” by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board in 2020. The honour came after the villagers had got together to grow over 200 native species of mangoes, sourced from surrounding towns and villages, preserving diverse varieties that were in danger of dying out. The technique that made it possible, Machathi says, is the age-old art of grafting (嫁接). He started experimenting with the technique in July, 2016, despite no formal training in farming, after an unfortunate incident shook the town of Kannapuram. A neighbour had cut down a 200-year-old mango tree known locally as Vellathan, which grew in his home. “The tree produced the sweetest mangoes I’ve ever tasted,” says Machathi. “It was beautiful, a native variety that was very rare.” But it was also undeniably old. Parts of the large tree would come crashing to the ground, making it so perilous that the neighbour decided that it needed to be cut down for his peace of mind. Staring at the wasted branches the next morning, Machathi felt a deep sense of loss. “The tree was so much a part of our growing years and the landscape of our lives that we were all just shocked over losing it overnight,” says Machathi. Then he reached out to a friend who was working as an agricultural officer. There was a way to save the tree, his friend said. If they could graft parts of the tree onto a growing mango plant with a strong root, they could regenerate the old tree and one day, taste its exquisite fruit again. “We then grafted 50 parts of that old tree onto strong rootstock (根茎) and managed to prevent it from dying out entirely,” says Machathi. “All of those trees are still alive — it felt like we’d saved rare treasure.” 4 What made the town of Kannapuram honoured in 2020? A. Owning more gardens than other towns. B. Stopping a rare mango tree from dying. C. Developing a new grafting technique. D. Preserving native mango species. 5. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Valueless. B. Risky. C. Thick. D. Disease. 6. What did the old mango tree mean to Machathi? A. It brought him inner peace. B. It witnessed his childhood. C. It made his home beautiful. D. It saved him from starving. 7. Which words can best describe Machathi? A. Friendly and courageous. B. Helpful and experienced. C. Resourceful and determined. D. Proud and independent. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了印度喀拉拉邦坎纳普拉姆镇警察Shyju Machathi，因邻居砍倒200年树龄的稀有芒果树而萌生保护本土芒果品种的想法，通过嫁接技术联合村民培育200多种原生芒果，最终让小镇获评“本土芒果遗产区”的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The honour came after the villagers had got together to grow over 200 native species of mangoes, sourced from surrounding towns and villages, preserving diverse varieties that were in danger of dying out (这份荣誉源于村民们齐心协力，种植了从周边村镇收集的200多种本土芒果品种，保护了那些濒临灭绝的多样品种)”可知，小镇获得荣誉的原因是保护本土芒果品种。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Parts of the large tree would come crashing to the ground, making it so perilous that the neighbour decided that it needed to be cut down for his peace of mind (这棵大树的部分枝干会突然砸落到地上，情况变得如此“perilous”，以至于邻居为了安心，决定必须砍掉它)“可知，“枝干掉落”是危险情况，故“perilous”意为“有风险的”。故选B。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The tree was so much a part of our growing years and the landscape of our lives that we were all just shocked over losing it overnight (这棵树是我们成长岁月中如此重要的一部分，也是我们生活场景的一部分，以至于我们都对一夜之间失去它感到震惊)”可知，老芒果树见证了Machathi的童年（成长岁月）。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“despite no formal training in farming (尽管没有接受过正式的农业培训)“以及第五段“Then he reached out to a friend who was working as an agricultural officer.(随后，他联系了一位任职于农业部门的官员朋友)”可知，尽管没有接受过正式的农业培训，他主动联系农业官员朋友寻求方法，体现“足智多谋”；根据最后一段““We then grafted 50 parts of that old tree onto strong rootstock (根茎) and managed to prevent it from dying out entirely,” says Machathi.(Machathi表示：“随后，我们将那棵老树的50个枝条嫁接到强健的根茎上，成功阻止了这个品种彻底灭绝”)”可知，后续他成功嫁接50个树枝、带动村民保护 200 多种芒果，体现他“有决心”。故选C。 C Adrian Ward, a psychologist at the University of Texas, remembers a dial-up connection in his home as a kid. “In those days, the Internet lived in a room in your home. You used it at specific times because you had limited minutes and had to make sure nobody else was using the phone line,” Ward recalls. So, what would it be like to go back to those days? No mobile-app shopping, no streaming shows or media on your phone? The researchers measured three different outcomes of well-being, mood and attention at the beginning, middle and end of a four-week study. While 91% of the 467 participants, aged 18 to 74, improved their scores in at least one category, 71% reported better mental health after the break, compared to before, and 73% reported better subjective well-being. The participants completed a survey often used by doctors to assess symptoms (症状) of depression and anxiety. It includes questions such as: How often in the past week have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things you typically enjoy? The participants’ responses pointed to a significant lift in mood. One of the surprising findings was that the decrease in depressive symptoms was comparable to — or even greater than — reductions documented in studies of people taking antidepressant medications. The effects were larger than anticipated. A break from the Internet on their phones also improved participants’ attention spans (持续时间), which was measured by a computer task. They tracked pictures which changed repeatedly between mountain landscapes and urban landscapes. Prior research has shown that performance tends to drop off as people age, but to the researchers’ surprise, after the Internet break, there was a significant boost in scores. It’s not clear how long-lasting the effect of less time online would be, but this study proves what has been found in observational studies. “It’s one of the first experiments that does provide causal evidence that reducing time spent on your phone has all these significant benefits,” Ward says. 8. What did the researchers aim to find out through the study? A. The health risks caused by mobile phones. B. The impact of an Internet break on people. C. The factors affecting people’s mental health. D. The effective ways of dealing with depression. 9. The questions in the survey focused on the participants’ ______. A. mood swings B. personal interest C. health indicators D. medical history 10. How did the study measure the participants’ attention spans? A. By observing their daily use of phone Internet. B. By asking doctors to assess their attention directly. C. By having them monitor alternate images on a computer. D. By asking them to complete a paper-and pencil survey. 11. What’s Ward’s tone like in the last paragraph? A. Humorous. B. Doubtful. C. Grateful. D. Confident. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕德克萨斯大学心理学家Adrian Ward的一项研究展开，探究“暂停使用手机网络”对人们的影响，实验发现，此举能改善人们的心理健康、情绪状态和注意力持续时间，并提供了因果证据支持这一结论。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers measured three different outcomes of well-being, mood and attention at the beginning, middle and end of a four-week study (研究人员在为期四周的研究初期、中期和末期，分别测量了幸福感、情绪和注意力这三个不同的结果)”，以及全文围绕 “暂停使用手机网络” 的效果展开可知，研究目的是探究“暂停使用网络对人的影响”。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段 “The participants completed a survey often used by doctors to assess symptoms (症状) of depression and anxiety. It includes questions such as: How often in the past week have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things you typically enjoy? The participants’ responses pointed to a significant lift in mood.(参与者完成了一份医生常用来评估抑郁和焦虑症状的调查。问卷包含诸如 “过去一周内，你对平时喜欢做的事感到兴趣或愉悦的频率有多高？”等问题。参与者的回答显示情绪有显著提升)”可知，调查问题聚焦于参与者的 “情绪波动”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“A break from the Internet on their phones also improved participants’ attention spans (持续时间), which was measured by a computer task. They tracked pictures which changed repeatedly between mountain landscapes and urban landscapes.(暂停使用手机网络也提高了参与者的注意力持续时间，这一指标通过一项电脑任务测量：参与者需要追踪在山地景观和城市景观之间反复切换的图片)可知，测量方式是“让他们在电脑上监控交替出现的图像”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s one of the first experiments that does provide causal evidence that reducing time spent on your phone has all these significant benefits (这是首批能提供因果证据的实验之一，证明减少手机使用时间能带来所有这些显著益处）可知，他明确指出实验的突破性（提供因果证据）和结论的确定性，语气“充满信心”。故选D项。 D Advocates of the idea that National Parks are “America’s best idea” are now championing another brilliant concept — A unique conservation effort is currently being highlighted. The effort has something to do with beavers (海狸). In 2019, researchers began bringing captured beavers that had become troublesome to humans to the San Rafael and Price Rivers in Eastern Utah. The idea is that beavers, often considered nature’s engineers, reshape river landscapes by cutting down trees and building dams. All of this busy activity conserves water and creates wetlands that sustain countless other species. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, beavers are “one of the most cost-efficient and sustainable solutions for ecological restoration.” And the rivers are indeed in need of ecological restoration. Human activities including the constructions of reservoirs (水库), dams, and diversions have reduced their crucial water supplies and consequently degraded natural habitats of the local plants and animals, as reported by Utah State Magazine. Two years after the beavers joined the small pre-existing population, Emma Doden, a then-Utah State University graduate student who participated in the conservation experiment, told reporters that her team found dams in regions where they had previously never been observed. While many of the 47 total translocated beavers died or moved away from the target restoration area, “a few of these beavers stuck where we put them. And even the ones that didn’t — we found some moved 12 miles downstream, which is pretty far for a small animal — they are probably still helping the system, as the river is so degraded,” she said. In 2023, the experimental project was still working. The researchers saw more dams than before their study on beaver translocation, behavioral ecologist Julie Young at Utah State University told The Wildlife Society. Some beavers improved regions of pre-existing analogous dams, which were human-made beaver-like dams built for environmental restoration purposes. “What heavy machinery and government programs couldn’t do, a few rodents (啮齿动物) pulling sticks through the mud did better,” she concludes. 12. Why were beavers relocated to Eastern Utah rivers? A. To help restore river ecosystems. B. To provide them with a better habitat. C. To protect trees along the river banks. D. To strengthen the water-related facilities. 13. What can we learn about the beavers in the experiment? A. They adapted to the new area immediately. B. They relied on existing dams to establish homes. C. They posed a terrible threat to the native species. D. They expanded dam-building activities successfully. 14. What is Julie’s attitude towards the beaver project? A. Mixed. B. Critical. C. Worried. D. Positive. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Water Quality Improves with Beavers B. A Natural Solution to Utah Ecosystem C. Beavers Put to Work to Save Utah Rivers D. The Role of National Parks in Conservation 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕美国犹他州东部的一项生态保护项目展开，介绍研究人员将海狸迁移到当地河流，利用其“自然工程师”的特性筑坝、储水并创造湿地，以修复受人类活动破坏的河流生态系统，最终取得积极成效。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, beavers are “one of the most cost-efficient and sustainable solutions for ecological restoration.(根据美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的说法，海狸是 “生态修复中性价比最高且最具可持续性的解决方案之一”)”以及第三段“the rivers are indeed in need of ecological restoration(这些河流确实需要生态恢复)”可知，将海狸迁移到犹他州东部河流，目的是帮助恢复河流生态系统。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Two years after the beavers joined the small pre-existing population, Emma Doden, a then-Utah State University graduate student who participated in the conservation experiment, told reporters that her team found dams in regions where they had previously never been observed. (海狸加入当地原本就存在的小规模海狸种群两年后，当时参与这项保护实验的犹他州立大学研究生艾玛・多登告诉记者，她的团队在之前从未发现过水坝的区域发现了水坝)”以及第五段中的“the researchers saw more dams than before their study on beaver translocation (研究人员发现的水坝数量比海狸迁移研究开始前更多)”可知，实验中的海狸“成功扩大了筑坝活动”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的““What heavy machinery and government programs couldn’t do, a few rodents (啮齿动物) pulling sticks through the mud did better,” she concludes.(“重型机械和政府项目做不到的事，几只拖着树枝在泥里活动的啮齿动物却做得更好，”她总结道)”可推知，她认为海狸在生态修复中起到了人类手段无法比拟的作用，态度“积极肯定”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文围绕美国犹他州东部的一项生态保护项目展开，介绍研究人员将海狸迁移到当地河流，利用其“自然工程师”的特性筑坝、储水并创造湿地，以修复受人类活动破坏的河流生态系统，最终取得积极成效。由此可知，C项“投入工作的海狸拯救犹他州河流”适合作最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a society that cares too much about thinness and beauty, the pressure to go on a diet is ever-present. From magazines promoting the latest popular diet to social media influencers showing off their body change, the message is loud and clear: ____16____ However, a recent study advises people to think carefully before dieting, as the consequences could be more harmful than helpful. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, examined the long-term effects of dieting on physical and mental health. According to the researchers, their findings challenge the commonly held belief that dieting leads to improved health and well-being. ____17____ Among many findings, one seems the most shocking: ____18____ This phenomenon, known as “dieting-caused weight gain”, occurs because the body sees dieting as a hunger and responds by slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢) and storing fat more effectively. As a result, when individuals stop dieting, their bodies are ready to gain weight quickly, often surpassing (超过) their original starting point. ____19____ Many individuals who go on a diet experience feelings of shame, guilt, and failure if they are unable to stick to it or see the desired results, which can lead to disordered eating behaviors as well as a distorted (扭曲的) body image. So, what does this mean for individuals who are considering going on a diet? The study’s lead author, Dr. Rebecca Pearl, suggests that people should approach weight management in a different way.____20____ The idea focuses on balanced eating, physical activity, and body positivity. A. If you’re not thin, you’re not good enough. B. She says people should think twice before going on a diet. C. Instead, they found that in most cases, the opposite is true. D. Having a balanced eating habit can do much good to your body. E. The study also stressed the bad impact of dieting on one’s mental health. F. The majority end up gaining back the weight they’ve lost, and often more. G. Instead of going on a diet, she recommends using a “health at every size” approach. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，短文围绕“节食的危害”展开，指出当下社会对纤瘦和美貌的过度追求使节食压力无处不在，而最新研究却表明节食的负面影响可能大于益处，随后从“体重反弹、心理健康损害”两方面分析危害，并给出“健康体重管理”的替代方案。 【16题详解】 根据前文“In a society that cares too much about thinness and beauty, the pressure to go on a diet is ever-present. From magazines promoting the latest popular diet to social media influencers showing off their body change, the message is loud and clear:(在一个过度关注纤瘦和美貌的社会里，节食的压力无处不在。从杂志推广最新流行节食法，到社交媒体博主炫耀身材变化，传递的信息清晰明确：)”可知，此空需补充“社会传递的具体节食相关信息”，且需贴合“过度关注纤瘦”的背景。A选项“If you’re not thin, you’re not good enough.(如果你不瘦，你就不够好)”符合语境。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“According to the researchers, their findings challenge the commonly held belief that dieting leads to improved health and well-being.(研究人员表示，他们的发现挑战了人们普遍持有的观点——节食能改善健康、幸福感)”可知，此空需进一步说明“研究发现如何挑战传统观点”，即揭示节食的实际效果与传统认知相反。C选项“Instead, they found that in most cases, the opposite is true.(相反，他们发现多数情况下，实际情况恰恰相反)”符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Among many findings, one seems the most shocking:(在众多发现中，有一项格外令人震惊)”，以及后文“This phenomenon, known as “dieting-caused weight gain”, occurs because the body sees dieting as a hunger and responds by slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢) and storing fat more effectively.(这种被称为“节食导致体重增加”的现象之所以会发生，是因为身体会把节食视作饥饿状态，进而做出反应 —— 放慢新陈代谢速度，同时更高效地储存脂肪)”可知，此空需补充“令人震惊的具体发现”，且需对应“节食导致体重增加”的现象。F选项“The majority end up gaining back the weight they’ve lost, and often more.(大多数人最终会反弹回减掉的体重，甚至更重)”符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 空处为短路主旨，根据后文“Many individuals who go on a diet experience feelings of shame, guilt, and failure if they are unable to stick to it or see the desired results, which can lead to disordered eating behaviors as well as a distorted (扭曲的) body image.(很多节食的人，如果没法坚持下去，或者没看到预期效果，就会产生羞耻感、愧疚感和挫败感 —— 这些情绪可能会导致饮食失调，还会让人产生扭曲的身体意象)”可知，空处英总起“节食对心理健康的负面影响”。E选项“The study also stressed the bad impact of dieting on one’s mental health.(该研究还强调了节食对心理健康的不良影响)”符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“The study’s lead author, Dr. Rebecca Pearl, suggests that people should approach weight management in a different way.(该研究的主要作者丽贝卡·珀尔博士建议，人们应以不同的方式进行体重管理)”，以及后文“The idea focuses on balanced eating, physical activity, and body positivity.(这一理念侧重于均衡饮食、体育锻炼和正向身体观念)”可知，此空需补充“具体的体重管理方式”，且需对应后文“这一理念”指代的内容。G选项“Instead of going on a diet, she recommends using a “health at every size” approach.(她建议不要节食，而是采用“每种体型皆健康”的方法)”符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Thirty years ago, I was a young father struggling to feed my family.

Recognised 38. dates 39. to serve 40. popularity 41. in 42. features 43. which 44. requiring 45. completely 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国美食德州扒鸡，它是山东传统菜肴，因独特制作工艺被列为国家非物质文化遗产，历史可追溯至明朝，历经发展如今享誉国内外，文中还介绍了其特点及制作过程。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它是山东省的一道传统菜肴。“traditional dish”是可数名词单数形式，此处表示泛指“一道传统菜肴” ，且“traditional”发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词“a” 。故填a。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：由于其独特的制作工艺，这道菜被视为国家非物质文化遗产。空处为非谓语动词，“recognise”与“this dish”之间存在被动关系，即“这道菜被认可”，所以要用过去分词作状语，表示原因。首字母大写。故填Recognised。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：德州扒鸡的历史可以追溯到明朝，有着300多年的烹饪传统。“date back to”这个短语通常用于一般现在时，表示从现在往过去追溯，句子主语“The history”是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式“dates”。故填dates。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在清朝乾隆时期，德州扒鸡是为富人准备的。be prepared to do sth准备做某事。故填to serve。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：如今，这道菜广受欢迎，在国内外都很有名。根据空前的形容词“widespread”可知，此处需要一个名词，“popular”的名词形式是“popularity”，表示“流行；受欢迎”，“gain a widespread popularity”表示“获得广泛的欢迎”，作宾语。故填popularity。 【41题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：到目前为止，德州扒鸡的制作方法逐渐改进，从而产生了我们今天享用的独特口味。“result in”是固定短语，意思是“导致；产生”。故填in。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：德州扒鸡以其独特的特点而闻名：无骨、五香、鲜嫩多汁，味道清爽但不过于浓郁，这些特点使德州扒鸡在中国传统美食中脱颖而出。从冒号后面列举的“boneless, five-spiced, tender, and juicy, with a refreshing yet not overly rich flavor”可知，这里说的是多个特点，所以“feature”要用复数形式“features”作宾语。故填features。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：德州扒鸡以其独特的特点而闻名：无骨、五香、鲜嫩多汁，味道清爽但不过于浓郁，这些特点使德州扒鸡在中国传统美食中脱颖而出。“____8____ have made Dezhou Braised Chicken stand out among traditional Chinese cuisine”是非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面提到的德州扒鸡的各种特点，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“which”引导。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：德州扒鸡的制作很讲究，每个阶段都需要严格把控。句子已有谓语动词“is”，“require”与句子主语“The preparation of Dezhou Braised Chicken”之间是主动关系，即“制作（过程）需要……”，所以用现在分词“requiring”作伴随状语。故填requiring。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：烹饪技术采用文火和旺火两种加热方式，让鸡肉完全吸收香料的所有美味。此处修饰动词短语“take in”，要用副词形式，“complete”的副词是“completely”，表示“完全地”。故填completely。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校上周开展了“网络安全周”主题活动。请给校英文报写篇报道，内容包括： 1．活动情况； 2．活动反响。 注意：1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An Event About Cyber Security ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 An Event About Cyber Security Last week, our school launched the “Cyber Security Week” event where a series of activities were held, including lectures by experts, poster exhibitions, and class discussions.

It broke the quiet I had worked so hard to make for my thesis (论文), like small pieces of broken glass. The paper on my laptop screen had lots of red marks. My professor wrote comments on almost every part: “Not enough facts to help your ideas.” “Your thinking is too surface-level.” “You need to rewrite Chapter 3.” Just that afternoon, I sat in her office for 45 minutes, with my head down. She told me I would have to postpone my graduation if I couldn’t prepare the paper well in two weeks. After that, I read academic magazines for three hours. My eyes hurt because I was so tired, but I never found any books or articles to support my arguments. Every source felt like a dead road. And now this noise — the low, strong music — shook my windows, and the laughter broke my weak focus. It was the last thing that made me feel like I couldn’t take it anymore. My neighbor, Ethan, as I’d learned from a few short chats, was in his early 30s. He worked as a designer. We had been neighbors for six months. When we talked or met, it was always calm and polite. For example, we waved when we passed each other while getting mail. On weekends, if we both watered plants at the same time, we might say something like “Nice weather today” in a casual way. Our relationship as neighbors was quiet and comfortable. There was no trouble. We just respected each other, even if we didn’t say it out loud. Ethan usually stayed at home. On workdays, the light in his living room was on until 10 o’clock at night. I could see the soft light from his computer screen through the curtains. On weekends, he sometimes had one or two friends over. But they spoke quietly and never bothered anyone. That was why the loud noise that night felt so strange and bad — it broke the quiet routine we both kept, even if we never talked about it. 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。 I closed my laptop very hard and rushed to Ethan’s door, angry. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, Ethan gave me the contact information of the researcher later. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I closed my laptop very hard and rushed to Ethan’s door, angry. I knocked loudly, fuming. When Ethan opened it, he was clearly startled by my angry face. “Ethan, I can’t focus on my thesis with all this racket!” I shouted. “I’m under so much pressure, and you’re making it worse.” He looked sheepish. “I’m really sorry. We were having a spontaneous get-together and didn’t think. We’ll tone it down.” As I started to walk away, he asked about my thesis topic, which caught me off-guard. To my surprise, Ethan gave me the contact information of the researcher later. He said the researcher was an expert in my field. I was delighted and quickly reached out. The researcher offered me valuable suggestions and some crucial references. With these aids, I rewrote my thesis smoothly. Two weeks later, I submitted it confidently. My professor was impressed with the improvement. I realized Ethan’s help was a turning point, and I was truly thankful to have such a thoughtful neighbor. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了“我”正在为毕业论文焦头烂额，教授指出诸多问题并要求两周内完善，否则推迟毕业，“我”查找资料无果，此时邻居伊桑家传来的喧闹声打破宁静，严重干扰 “我”，而平时伊桑是个安静礼貌的邻居。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我用力合上笔记本电脑，怒气冲冲地冲向伊桑家的门。”可知，第一段可描写“我” 愤怒地冲向伊桑家，指责喧闹声干扰自己写论文，伊桑先是惊讶，然后因疏忽表示歉意，最后“我”要离开时他询问论文主题。 ②由第二段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，后来伊桑给了我那位研究人员的联系方式”可知，第二段可描写伊桑提供研究专家信息，“我”联系后获帮助，顺利重写论文，得到教授认可，“我”感激伊桑。 2.续写线索：愤怒上门——指责干扰——伊桑道歉——询问论文主题——提供专家信息 ——“我”获帮助——完成论文获认可——感激伊桑 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①调低：tone down/turn down ②意识到：realise/be aware of ③联系：reach out /contact 情感类： ①愤怒的：annoyed /fuming ②感激：thankful /grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1] When Ethan opened it, he was clearly startled by my angry face.（运用 when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] I realized Ethan’s help was a turning point, and I was truly thankful to have such a thoughtful neighbor.（运用了省略that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2025—2026学年（上）高三年级天一小高考（一） 英语 考生注意： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

That’s what 42-year-old Shyju Machathi, a policeman living in Kannapuram in the Southern Indian state of Kerala, found out when his town was declared an “Indigenous Mango Heritage Area” by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board in 2020. The honour came after the villagers had got together to grow over 200 native species of mangoes, sourced from surrounding towns and villages, preserving diverse varieties that were in danger of dying out. The technique that made it possible, Machathi says, is the age-old art of grafting (嫁接). He started experimenting with the technique in July, 2016, despite no formal training in farming, after an unfortunate incident shook the town of Kannapuram. A neighbour had cut down a 200-year-old mango tree known locally as Vellathan, which grew in his home. “The tree produced the sweetest mangoes I’ve ever tasted,” says Machathi. “It was beautiful, a native variety that was very rare.” But it was also undeniably old. Parts of the large tree would come crashing to the ground, making it so perilous that the neighbour decided that it needed to be cut down for his peace of mind. Staring at the wasted branches the next morning, Machathi felt a deep sense of loss. “The tree was so much a part of our growing years and the landscape of our lives that we were all just shocked over losing it overnight,” says Machathi. Then he reached out to a friend who was working as an agricultural officer. There was a way to save the tree, his friend said. If they could graft parts of the tree onto a growing mango plant with a strong root, they could regenerate the old tree and one day, taste its exquisite fruit again. “We then grafted 50 parts of that old tree onto strong rootstock (根茎) and managed to prevent it from dying out entirely,” says Machathi. “All of those trees are still alive — it felt like we’d saved rare treasure.” 4. What made the town of Kannapuram honoured in 2020? A. Owning more gardens than other towns. B. Stopping a rare mango tree from dying. C. Developing a new grafting technique. D. Preserving native mango species. 5. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Valueless. B. Risky. C. Thick. D. Disease. 6. What did the old mango tree mean to Machathi? A. It brought him inner peace. B. It witnessed his childhood. C. It made his home beautiful. D. It saved him from starving. 7. Which words can best describe Machathi? A. Friendly and courageous. B. Helpful and experienced. C. Resourceful and determined. D. Proud and independent. C Adrian Ward, a psychologist at the University of Texas, remembers a dial-up connection in his home as a kid. “In those days, the Internet lived in a room in your home. You used it at specific times because you had limited minutes and had to make sure nobody else was using the phone line,” Ward recalls. So, what would it be like to go back to those days? No mobile-app shopping, no streaming shows or media on your phone? The researchers measured three different outcomes of well-being, mood and attention at the beginning, middle and end of a four-week study. While 91% of the 467 participants, aged 18 to 74, improved their scores in at least one category, 71% reported better mental health after the break, compared to before, and 73% reported better subjective well-being. The participants completed a survey often used by doctors to assess symptoms (症状) of depression and anxiety. It includes questions such as: How often in the past week have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things you typically enjoy? The participants’ responses pointed to a significant lift in mood. One of the surprising findings was that the decrease in depressive symptoms was comparable to — or even greater than — reductions documented in studies of people taking antidepressant medications. The effects were larger than anticipated. A break from the Internet on their phones also improved participants’ attention spans (持续时间) which was measured by a computer task. They tracked pictures which changed repeatedly between mountain landscapes and urban landscapes. Prior research has shown that performance tends to drop off as people age, but to the researchers’ surprise, after the Internet break, there was a significant boost in scores. It’s not clear how long-lasting the effect of less time online would be, but this study proves what has been found in observational studies. “It’s one of the first experiments that does provide causal evidence that reducing time spent on your phone has all these significant benefits,” Ward says. 8. What did the researchers aim to find out through the study? A. The health risks caused by mobile phones. B. The impact of an Internet break on people. C. The factors affecting people’s mental health. D. The effective ways of dealing with depression. 9. The questions in the survey focused on the participants’ ______. A. mood swings B. personal interest C. health indicators D. medical history 10. How did the study measure the participants’ attention spans? A. By observing their daily use of phone Internet. B. By asking doctors to assess their attention directly. C. By having them monitor alternate images on a computer. D. By asking them to complete a paper-and pencil survey. 11. What’s Ward’s tone like in the last paragraph? A. Humorous. B. Doubtful. C. Grateful. D. Confident. D Advocates of the idea that National Parks are “America’s best idea” are now championing another brilliant concept — A unique conservation effort is currently being highlighted. The effort has something to do with beavers (海狸). In 2019, researchers began bringing captured beavers that had become troublesome to humans to the San Rafael and Price Rivers in Eastern Utah. The idea is that beavers, often considered nature’s engineers, reshape river landscapes by cutting down trees and building dams. All of this busy activity conserves water and creates wetlands that sustain countless other species. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, beavers are “one of the most cost-efficient and sustainable solutions for ecological restoration.” And the rivers are indeed in need of ecological restoration. Human activities including the constructions of reservoirs (水库), dams, and diversions have reduced their crucial water supplies and consequently degraded natural habitats of the local plants and animals, as reported by Utah State Magazine. Two years after the beavers joined the small pre-existing population, Emma Doden, a then-Utah State University graduate student who participated in the conservation experiment, told reporters that her team found dams in regions where they had previously never been observed. While many of the 47 total translocated beavers died or moved away from the target restoration area, “a few of these beavers stuck where we put them. And even the ones that didn’t — we found some moved 12 miles downstream, which is pretty far for a small animal — they are probably still helping the system, as the river is so degraded,” she said. In 2023, the experimental project was still working. The researchers saw more dams than before their study on beaver translocation, behavioral ecologist Julie Young at Utah State University told The Wildlife Society. Some beavers improved regions of pre-existing analogous dams, which were human-made beaver-like dams built for environmental restoration purposes. “What heavy machinery and government programs couldn’t do, a few rodents (啮齿动物) pulling sticks through the mud did better,” she concludes. 12. Why were beavers relocated to Eastern Utah rivers? A. To help restore river ecosystems. B. To provide them with a better habitat. C. To protect trees along the river banks. D. To strengthen the water-related facilities. 13. What can we learn about the beavers in the experiment? A. They adapted to the new area immediately. B. They relied on existing dams to establish homes. C. They posed a terrible threat to the native species. D. They expanded dam-building activities successfully. 14. What is Julie’s attitude towards the beaver project? A. Mixed. B. Critical. C. Worried. D. Positive. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Water Quality Improves with Beavers B. A Natural Solution to Utah Ecosystem C. Beavers Put to Work to Save Utah Rivers D. The Role of National Parks in Conservation 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a society that cares too much about thinness and beauty the pressure to go on a diet is ever-present. From magazines promoting the latest popular diet to social media influencers showing off their body change, the message is loud and clear: ____16____ However, a recent study advises people to think carefully before dieting, as the consequences could be more harmful than helpful. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, examined the long-term effects of dieting on physical and mental health. According to the researchers, their findings challenge the commonly held belief that dieting leads to improved health and well-being. ____17____ Among many findings, one seems the most shocking: ____18____ This phenomenon, known as “dieting-caused weight gain”, occurs because the body sees dieting as a hunger and responds by slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢) and storing fat more effectively. As a result, when individuals stop dieting, their bodies are ready to gain weight quickly, often surpassing (超过) their original starting point. ____19____ Many individuals who go on a diet experience feelings of shame, guilt, and failure if they are unable to stick to it or see the desired results, which can lead to disordered eating behaviors as well as a distorted (扭曲的) body image. So, what does this mean for individuals who are considering going on a diet? The study’s lead author, Dr. Rebecca Pearl, suggests that people should approach weight management in a different way.____20____ The idea focuses on balanced eating, physical activity, and body positivity. A. If you’re not thin, you’re not good enough. B. She says people should think twice before going on a diet. C. Instead, they found that in most cases, the opposite is true. D. Having a balanced eating habit can do much good to your body. E. The study also stressed the bad impact of dieting on one’s mental health. F. The majority end up gaining back the weight they’ve lost, and often more. G. Instead of going on a diet, she recommends using a “health at every size” approach. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Thirty years ago, I was a young father struggling to feed my family.

It broke the quiet I had worked so hard to make for my thesis (论文), like small pieces of broken glass. The paper on my laptop screen had lots of red marks. My professor wrote comments on almost every part: “Not enough facts to help your ideas.” “Your thinking is too surface-level.” “You need to rewrite Chapter 3.” Just that afternoon, I sat in her office for 45 minutes, with my head down. She told me I would have to postpone my graduation if I couldn’t prepare the paper well in two weeks. After that, I read academic magazines for three hours. My eyes hurt because I was so tired, but I never found any books or articles to support my arguments. Every source felt like a dead road. And now this noise — the low, strong music — shook my windows, and the laughter broke my weak focus. It was the last thing that made me feel like I couldn’t take it anymore. My neighbor, Ethan, as I’d learned from a few short chats, was in his early 30s. He worked as a designer. We had been neighbors for six months. When we talked or met, it was always calm and polite. For example, we waved when we passed each other while getting mail. On weekends, if we both watered plants at the same time, we might say something like “Nice weather today” in a casual way. Our relationship as neighbors was quiet and comfortable. There was no trouble. We just respected each other, even if we didn’t say it out loud. Ethan usually stayed at home. On workdays, the light in his living room was on until 10 o’clock at night. I could see the soft light from his computer screen through the curtains. On weekends, he sometimes had one or two friends over. But they spoke quietly and never bothered anyone. That was why the loud noise that night felt so strange and bad — it broke the quiet routine we both kept, even if we never talked about it. 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。 I closed my laptop very hard and rushed to Ethan’s door, angry. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, Ethan gave me the contact information of the researcher later. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
