But since around 1997, when it returned to China, the idea of an arts enclave (艺术飞地) emerged. After nearly 30 years, the West Kowloon Cultural District has formed, with world-class venues. Here’s a guide to what’s new. Free Space As the name suggests, this performing-arts center is designed to be flexible and imaginative. The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance, as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse, a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends. Hong Kong Palace Museum Resembling a Chinese gold ingot (金元宝), this museum showcases artifacts from China’s imperial palaces, including Ming dynasty ceramics, scroll paintings, and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Art Park Hugging the waterfront promenade, this expansive lawn is an ideal place for joggers, picnickers, museum-goers, and dog walkers. There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout — around sunset, grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafés below the Palace Museum. The facilities are spotless, too. Xiqu Center This performance hall, which hosts Cantonese opera, has an exterior with aluminum shingles that resemble fish scales. A large opening fills the atrium (中庭) with breezes and natural light. Even if xiqu (Chinese opera) isn’t your cup of tea, the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road. 1. What do Free Space and Art Park have in common? A. People can walk dogs there. B. People can enjoy coffee there. C. People can listen to music there. D. People can watch the sunset there. 2. Which of the following does the Hong Kong Palace Museum display? A. Modern art. B. Gold ingot. C. Chinese artifacts. D. Opera costumes. 3. What can we do in Xiqu Center? A. Go fishing. B. Take a break. C. Have a cup of tea. D. Enjoy light shows. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。介绍了香港西九龙文化区的新面貌和其中的几个主要文化设施。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Free Space下的“The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance, as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse, a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends.(这个像地堡一样的建筑群里有一个黑盒子剧场和用于实验表演和舞蹈的工作室，还有Lau Bak Livehouse，这是一家咖啡馆和酒吧，周末有现场音乐表演)”以及Art Park下的“There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout — around sunset, grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafés below the Palace Museum.(在日落时分，这里有十几个吃吃喝喝的地方——在故宫博物馆下面的海港咖啡馆里找个位子坐下)”可知，Free Space和Art Park的共同之处是人们可以在那里享用咖啡。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hong Kong Palace Museum下的“Resembling a Chinese gold ingot (金元宝), this museum showcases artifacts from China’s imperial palaces, including Ming dynasty ceramics, scroll paintings, and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.(仿照中国的金元宝，这个博物馆展示了来自中国皇宫的文物，包括明朝陶瓷、卷轴画和来自北京紫禁城故宫博物院的双头龙)”可知，Hong Kong Palace Museum展出了中国文物。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Xiqu Center下的“Even if xiqu (Chinese opera) isn’t your cup of tea, the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road.(即使你对戏曲不感兴趣，在探索广东道的商店之前，公共中庭也是一个诱人的休息场所)”可知，在Xiqu Center可以休息一下。故选B项。 B Three days ahead of his 20th birthday, Pan Zhanle of China produced a swim at the Paris Olympics that catapulted him to Olympic gold and international attention. Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle, his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80, set in February. Born in Wenzhou, Pan is regarded as China’s “flying fish”. Outstanding fitness earned him a spot in the Wenzhou Youth Swimming School’s talent class at the age of. four. “Once I started swimming, I couldn’t stop.” Aged 10, Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games. His commitment was such that whereas most swimmers’ mistakes or shortcomings would lead coaches to impose (强加) harder training, Pan’s coach would instead reduce his training as a form of discipline. “I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool, and he would feel really uncomfortable,” Pan’s former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media. “He just really loves swimming.” In 2023, Pan made his move. He broke the Asian record in the men’s 100m freestyle at the Chinese national championships with a time of 47.22, a mark he then beat again at that year’s Asian Games in Hangzhou, with 46.97. In 2022, American swimming coach Mark Schubert suggested that Pan switch to the individual medley (个人混合泳比赛), on the basis that Chinese swimmers were unlikely to beat those of other nations as 100m freestyle specialists. His conclusion seemed to act as a challenge to Pan. “I’m rebellious (叛逆的) by nature,” Pan replied to Schubert after Doha, showing him his gold medal. “The more others doubt my abilities, the more determined I am to prove them wrong.” 4. Why does the author mention the previous record set in February? A. To show the record is extremely hard to break. B. To show Pan has gained international attention. C. To indicate the fierce competition in swimming. D. To indicate Pan’s capacity to go beyond himself. 5. What do the underlined words “made a splash” probably mean? A. Attracted great attention. B. Earned a big fortune. C. Started a better training. D. Caused some trouble. 6. What would make Pan unhappy in the training? A. Failing to meet the coach’s standard. B. Being forbidden to swim in the pool. C. Getting involved in much harder training. D. Being punished to train for a longer time. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Pan was inspired by the American coach. B. Pan always goes against the coach’s advice. C. Doubt motivates Pan rather than beats him. D. Showing off his gold medals is Pan’s habit. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国游泳运动员潘展乐在奥运会上的杰出表现及成长历程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle, his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80, set in February. (潘在巴黎拉德芳斯竞技场以46.40秒的成绩打破了自己的100米自由泳世界纪录，打破了他2月份创下的46.80秒的最佳成绩)”可知，他在巴黎拉德芳斯竞技场的成绩打破了自己2月份创造的46.80秒的最佳纪录，作者提到2月份创下的纪录表明潘展乐有能力超越自己。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Aged 10, Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games. (在2014年浙江省运动会上，10岁的潘在五天内获得了七枚金牌，他made a splash)”可知，潘展乐在2014年浙江省运动会的五天内获得了七枚金牌，这引起了轰动，故可推测made a splash意思是“引起了极大关注”，与选项Attracted great attention“引起了极大的关注”意思相符。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool, and he would feel really uncomfortable,” Pan’s former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media.(潘的前教练王士告诉中国媒体：“我会惩罚他，不让他进入游泳池，他会感到非常不舒服。”)”可知，潘展乐不开心是因为被禁止在泳池里游泳。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The more others doubt my abilities, the more determined I am to prove them wrong.(别人越怀疑我的能力，我就越决心证明他们错了。)”可知，别人的怀疑会激励潘展乐，而不是打败他。故选C。 C In today’s interconnected world, maintaining personal independence is more important than ever. While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges. First, independence develops self-reliance and adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, individuals must adapt to unexpected circumstances, from economic downturns (衰退)to technological disruptions. For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces. Second, independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment. Relying too much on others can limit one’s opportunities to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. When individuals independently pursue their goals and passions, they gain confidence, skills, and a sense of purpose. For example, starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and problem-solving abilities. Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is often encouraged. Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt popular lifestyles, potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society. Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However, independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency. Maintaining independence in today’s society is vital for personal growth. While mutual support and interdependence are valuable, they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world. 8. Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2? A. People depending on themselves. B. People making innovative decisions. C. People influenced by external forces. D. People relying on unexpected settings. 9. Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity? A. It makes people form common beliefs. B. It allows people to maintain self-hood. C. It enables people to lead cultural trends. D. It helps people develop their intelligence. 10. Which can best describe an independent person in relationships? A. Confident and helpful. B. Isolated and indifferent. C. Cooperative and proud. D. Critical and autonomous. 11. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring and comparing. B. By showing cause and effect. C. By giving opinions and examples. D. By stating problems and solutions. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是在当今互联互通的世界中，保持个人独立性的重要性及其对个人成长的积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. (例如，一个已经发展出金融知识和自给自足的人比一个完全依赖他人支持的人更能有能力应对经济挑战。)”可知，依靠自己的人可以更好地应对经济挑战。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is often encouraged.(在一个经常鼓励从众的世界里，保持独立可以保护个性和个人身份。)”和“Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society. (独立使人们能够形成自己的信仰、价值观和优先事项，使他们更有能力为社会做出独特的贡献。)”可知，文章提到，在一个鼓励从众的世界中，独立性允许人们形成自己的信念、价值观和优先事项，从而保持个性和自我身份。因此，是独立性让人们能够保持自我。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“However, independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency.( 然而，独立并不妨碍合作或有意义的关系。事实上，真正独立的人通常会给人际关系带来更多价值，因为他们的贡献来自于力量和信心，而不是依赖。)”可知，文章提到，真正独立的人在关系中更有价值，因为他们是从一种强大和自信的状态中做出贡献，而不是出于依赖。因此，独立的人在关系中是自信且有帮助的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges.(虽然与他人合作和依赖他人是现代生活的重要方面，但过度依赖外部系统、技术或个人会逐渐破坏自主性，扼杀个人成长，并损害一个人应对挑战的能力。)”；第二段的“For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces.(例如，拥有金融知识和自给自足能力的人比完全依赖他人支持的人更有能力应对经济挑战。独立使个人能够控制自己的生活，做出明智的决定，而不受外部力量的过度影响。)”，第三段的“For example, starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and problem-solving abilities.(例如，在没有外部支持的情况下开始一个个人项目或企业，挑战人们的创新和批判性思维，培养创造力和解决问题的能力。)”以及纵观全文可知，文章通过提出观点（独立性的重要性）并结合具体例子（如经济挑战、个人项目、文化趋势等）来展开论述。因此，文章主要是通过给出观点和例子来发展的。故选C。 D Heating and lighting buildings consume a significant portion of global energy — about 18%, according to the International Energy Agency. Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems (空调通风系统) that respond slowly to weather changes, leading to energy waste. However, AI is seen as a potential solution. While AI itself can be energy-intensive — Microsoft has acknowledged that its AI development threatens climate goals — experts believe AI can improve energy efficiency in large buildings. A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%, and initial efforts to integrate AIinto HVAC systems have been promising. Sam Ramadori, CEO of BrainBox AI, explains that large buildings often have thousands of HVAC components that need to work together efficiently. His company’s technology uses predictive AI to send instructions every five minutes to various parts of the system, optimizing energy use and comfort. For example, the AI system at 45 Broadway begins warming the building in prediction of a cold front, and it adjusts heat distribution based on sunlight exposure. Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have also explored AI’s potential in building efficiency. Their study suggests that integrating AI with HVAC systems could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 8% to 19%, or even more with active policy measures. AI can help minimize a building’s carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance, by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime (停工期). Other initiatives have shown similar benefits. In Stockholm, AI tools were applied in 87 HVAC systems in educational facilities, resulting in an annual reduction of 64 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (等量) and an 8% decrease in electricity usage. The University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Energy Engineering also supports the idea that AI can significantly reduce power consumption in complex HVAC systems, especially those with both indoor and outdoor units. As the globe warms, efficient cooling systems will be increasingly important. Arash Zarmehr, a building performance consultant at the engineering firm WSP, says that “AIl engineers are aware that human controls on HVAC systems reduce efficiencies,” he says. “AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings.” 12. What does the 2024 study show? A. AI contributes to climate change. B. AI consumes much global energy. C. AI decreases energy consumption. D. AI is widely used in HVAC systems. 13. How can AI help building efficiency? A. By shortening a building’s lifecycle. B. By minimizing HVAC’s components. C. By regulating heat distribution randomly. D. By telling equipment failures in advance. 14. What is Arash Zarmehr’s attitude towards the use of AI? A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Pessimistic. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. The Challenges of AI’s Rise B. The Energy Use in Buildings C. The Impact of HVAC Systems D. AI’s Application in a New Field 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出建筑供暖和照明消耗了全球大量能源，而人工智能可以通过优化空调通风系统，将能耗和碳排放降低8%至19%，并提高建筑的整体能源效率。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%, and initial efforts to integrate Alinto HVAC systems have been promising. (2024年的一项研究表明，人工智能可以将建筑物的能耗和碳排放降低至少8%，而将人工智能集成到暖通空调系统的初步努力也很有希望)”可知，这项研究表明AI可以降低能耗。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“AI can help minimize a building’s carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance, by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime (停工期). (人工智能可以通过预测设备故障和减少停机时间，帮助最大限度地减少建筑物从设计到维护的整个生命周期中的碳足迹)”可知，AI可以提前告知设备故障，从而提高建筑效率。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Arash Zarmehr所说的话“AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings. (人工智能可以帮助我们实现建筑的真正脱碳)”可知，Arash Zarmehr认为AI可以帮助实现建筑物的脱碳，这表明他对AI的使用持积极态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems (空调通风系统) that respond slowly to weather changes, leading to energy waste. However, AI is seen as a potential solution. While AI itself can be energy-intensive — Microsoft has acknowledged that its AI development threatens climate goals — experts believe AI can improve energy efficiency in large buildings. (许多建筑的空调通风系统已经过时，对天气变化反应缓慢，导致能源浪费。然而，人工智能被视为一种潜在的解决方案。虽然人工智能本身可能是能源密集型的——微软已经承认其人工智能开发威胁到气候目标——但专家们认为，人工智能可以提高大型建筑的能源效率)”可知，文章主要讨论了AI在建筑能效管理中的应用，特别是如何通过优化空调通风系统来减少能耗和碳排放。因此，D项“AI在新领域的应用”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Societies encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is frowned upon.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文文体为议论文。文章首先提出社会鼓励竞争和关注成功，人们常常被鼓励不断追求目标，但接着指出如果过度追求不现实的目标也会出现问题，然后给出了如果放弃目标的一些建议。 【16题详解】 设空位于首段段尾，应是承接上文，并引出本文主题，前文“Societies encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is frowned upon. Friends and colleagues will encourage you to keep trying. You want to be a writer? Keep writing. You want to be a movie star? Keep taking acting classes and auditioning for roles.(社会鼓励竞争，注重成功。“放弃”是不被允许的。朋友和同事会鼓励你继续尝试。你想成为一名作家？继续写。你想当电影明星吗？继续上表演课，试演角色)”提出社会鼓励竞争和关注成功，人们常常被鼓励不断追求目标，D项“However, there are two problems if you take it too far(然而，如果你走得太远，这有两个问题)”和前文构成转折关系，并引出下文，符合文意。故选D项。 【17题详解】 前文“The first is that goals and dreams might be unrealistic. The second problem is that your time and energy are limited.(首先，目标和梦想可能是不现实的。第二个问题是你的时间和精力是有限的)”提出存在的两个问题，F项“If you devote them to a goal, you will not be able to follow other goals effectively(如果你把时间花在一个目标上，你就不能有效地遵循其他目标)”是对前文的进一步解释，后文“Economists speak of “opportunity costs,” which is just a way of saying that every road taken means another road is not taken.(经济学家说的是“机会成本”，这只是一种说法，即每走一条路就意味着另一条路不会走)”是对F项的解释，符合文意。故选F项。 【18题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Nobody can be defined by a single interest. We all have many sides and qualities. Do not let any goal or interest define you. You are more than a job or a single dream.(没有人可以被单一的利益所定义。我们都有很多方面和品质。不要让任何目标或兴趣定义你。你不仅仅是一份工作或一个梦想)”可知，本段主要讲述不要让任何目标或兴趣定义你，所以A项“Avoid tying a goal to your identity(避免把目标和你的身份捆绑在一起)”符合本段主题，是对本段的概括。故选A项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Do not keep lingering (徘徊) around your goal. There is an important difference between giving up the goal and stopping the effort. If you just stop trying but keep the goal in the back of your mind, you will be frustrated. Disengaging means that you stop being committed to the goal.(不要徘徊在你的目标周围。放弃目标和停止努力之间有一个重要的区别。如果你只是停止尝试，把目标留在你的脑海里，你会感到沮丧。脱离意味着你不再致力于目标)”可知，本段讲述区分放弃目标和停止尝试的区别，不要始终让目标困扰你，所以G项“Once you stop trying, you need to deliberately tell yourself that you are abandoning the goal(一旦你停止尝试，你需要有意识地告诉自己你正在放弃这个目标)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Do not think of giving up as a failure, but as a choice. Try new activities, rediscover previous interests. Be honest with yourself about your chances, and choose the goals that best suit you.(不要认为放弃是一种失败，而是一种选择。尝试新的活动，重新发现以前的兴趣。诚实面对自己的机会，选择最适合自己的目标)”可知，本段讲述不要认为放弃是一种失败，所以E项“Remember that when you give up a goal, you do not fail(记住，当你放弃一个目标时，你并没有失败)”符合本段主题。故选E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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Animal heroes can come in all shapes and sizes.

To find an ideal place to build and present it, I focused my eyes on our school basketball court. However, the basketball team needed the same space to practice for the regional finals. Their captain, Alex, stormed in front of me and exclaimed, “You can’t use the court for that! We need it for practice, and your sculpture will just get in the way.” I tried to explain that our sculpture was temporary and would be removed after the event, but he wouldn’t listen. Neither of us was willing to back down. At last, both of us made a compromise(妥协): they practiced on the left half, and we built the sculpture on the other half. But problems grew quickly. In the first few days, the team complained our sculpture materials blocked their training, and we argued their bouncing balls shook our sculpture base. Things turned worse in the following days. They “accidentally” shot their basketball at our sculpture, leaving holes and broken pieces. We “forgot” to remove tools and materials off the court, adding more difficulty to their training. Finally, disaster broke out. Alex leaped for a dunk but crashed into our half-built sculpture. Bottles rained down, flying all over the court. “You ruined our three weeks of work!” I yelled. “Your trash ruined my shot!” he roared back. Just as the situation was about to lose control, our school principal walked in and dragged us to his office. After learning what had happened, he gave each of us a gentle pat on the shoulder, saying, “You both have good reasons for using the court. Winning a game is absolutely our goal and so is environmental protection. Can this court serve both?” I nodded but Alex still crossed his arms. Icy silence hung for what seemed like a century until the principal broke the silence, “I bet you know The Golden State Warriors, where Stephen Curry plays. Besides excellence in basketball skills, they also pride themselves on being one of the most environmentally focused teams in the league. They have advocated that water bottles should be recycled properly after every match. You see what I mean?” 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。 Hearing this, Alex’s eyes began to light up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Our eco-basketball game was a big success. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing this, Alex’s eyes began to light up. He slowly relaxed his crossed arms, mumbling, “Well…uh…What’s the plan?”. Slightly surprised at his change in tone, I suggested hosting an eco-basketball game. Alex agreed and it was the first time that we had clicked. We brainstormed a bottle-for-ticket plan where spectators could exchange used plastic bottles for the game tickets. Over the following week, we worked side by side with newfound mutual understanding and respect: Alex’s team were training hard; my club were busy rebuilding the sculpture. Finally, the big day arrived. BVOur eco-basketball game was a big success. The crowd erupted in cheers for Alex’s team when the principal announced their overwhelming victory. The highlight was captured behind the lens in front of the sculpture, where Alex’s champion team stood among cheering fans, perfectly blending sports and sustainability. I approached Alex, saying, “Congratulations on your victory!” “Our victory!” He grinned, pointing at the towering pile of plastic bottles. The court, once a battlefield, turned into a place where we learned to work together towards a shared goal. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作为环保俱乐部主席的作者和篮球队长争夺篮球场使用的冲突，最后在校长的调解下，找到合作的办法。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到这些，亚历克斯的眼睛开始放光”可知，第一段可描写作者建议举办一场生态篮球赛以及为举办篮球赛双方所付出的努力和合作。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们的生态篮球比赛取得了巨大的成功”可知，第二段可描写校长宣布亚历克斯的队伍取得压倒性胜利时，人群中爆发出欢呼声。这是作者和亚历克斯的胜利，曾经的战场变成了友谊和合作的场地 2.续写线索：同意举办生态篮球赛——付出努力，相互合作——亚历克斯的队伍获胜——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest /advise ②举办：host/throw ③重新建造：rebuild/reconstruct ④爆发：erupt/burst out 情绪类 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] We brainstormed a bottle-for-ticket plan where spectators could exchange used plastic bottles for the game tickets.

But since around 1997, when it returned to China, the idea of an arts enclave (艺术飞地) emerged. After nearly 30 years, the West Kowloon Cultural District has formed, with world-class venues. Here’s a guide to what’s new. Free Space As the name suggests, this performing-arts center is designed to be flexible and imaginative. The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance, as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse, a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends. Hong Kong Palace Museum Resembling a Chinese gold ingot (金元宝), this museum showcases artifacts from China’s imperial palaces, including Ming dynasty ceramics, scroll paintings, and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Art Park Hugging the waterfront promenade, this expansive lawn is an ideal place for joggers, picnickers, museum-goers, and dog walkers. There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout — around sunset, grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafés below the Palace Museum. The facilities are spotless, too. Xiqu Center This performance hall, which hosts Cantonese opera, has an exterior with aluminum shingles that resemble fish scales. A large opening fills the atrium (中庭) with breezes and natural light. Even if xiqu (Chinese opera) isn’t your cup of tea, the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road. 1. What do Free Space and Art Park have in common? A. People can walk dogs there. B. People can enjoy coffee there. C. People can listen to music there. D. People can watch the sunset there. 2. Which of the following does the Hong Kong Palace Museum display? A. Modern art. B. Gold ingot. C. Chinese artifacts. D. Opera costumes. 3. What can we do in Xiqu Center? A. Go fishing. B. Take a break. C. Have a cup of tea. D. Enjoy light shows. B Three days ahead of his 20th birthday Pan Zhanle of China produced a swim at the Paris Olympics that catapulted him to Olympic gold and international attention. Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle, his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80, set in February. Born in Wenzhou, Pan is regarded as China’s “flying fish”. Outstanding fitness earned him a spot in the Wenzhou Youth Swimming School’s talent class at the age of. four. “Once I started swimming, I couldn’t stop.” Aged 10, Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games. His commitment was such that whereas most swimmers’ mistakes or shortcomings would lead coaches to impose (强加) harder training, Pan’s coach would instead reduce his training as a form of discipline. “I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool, and he would feel really uncomfortable,” Pan’s former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media. “He just really loves swimming.” In 2023, Pan made his move. He broke the Asian record in the men’s 100m freestyle at the Chinese national championships with a time of 47.22, a mark he then beat again at that year’s Asian Games in Hangzhou, with 46.97. In 2022, American swimming coach Mark Schubert suggested that Pan switch to the individual medley (个人混合泳比赛), on the basis that Chinese swimmers were unlikely to beat those of other nations as 100m freestyle specialists. His conclusion seemed to act as a challenge to Pan. “I’m rebellious (叛逆的) by nature,” Pan replied to Schubert after Doha, showing him his gold medal. “The more others doubt my abilities, the more determined I am to prove them wrong.” 4. Why does the author mention the previous record set in February? A. To show the record is extremely hard to break. B. To show Pan has gained international attention. C. To indicate the fierce competition in swimming. D. To indicate Pan’s capacity to go beyond himself. 5. What do the underlined words “made a splash” probably mean? A. Attracted great attention. B. Earned a big fortune. C. Started a better training. D. Caused some trouble. 6. What would make Pan unhappy in the training? A. Failing to meet the coach’s standard. B. Being forbidden to swim in the pool. C. Getting involved in much harder training. D. Being punished to train for a longer time. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Pan was inspired by the American coach. B. Pan always goes against the coach’s advice. C. Doubt motivates Pan rather than beats him. D. Showing off his gold medals is Pan’s habit. C In today’s interconnected world, maintaining personal independence is more important than ever. While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges. First, independence develops self-reliance and adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, individuals must adapt to unexpected circumstances, from economic downturns (衰退)to technological disruptions. For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces. Second, independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment. Relying too much on others can limit one’s opportunities to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. When individuals independently pursue their goals and passions, they gain confidence, skills, and a sense of purpose. For example, starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and problem-solving abilities. Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is often encouraged. Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt popular lifestyles, potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society. Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However, independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency. Maintaining independence in today’s society is vital for personal growth. While mutual support and interdependence are valuable, they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world. 8. Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2? A. People depending on themselves. B. People making innovative decisions. C. People influenced by external forces. D. People relying on unexpected settings. 9. Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity? A. It makes people form common beliefs. B. It allows people to maintain self-hood. C. It enables people to lead cultural trends. D. It helps people develop their intelligence. 10. Which can best describe an independent person in relationships? A. Confident and helpful. B. Isolated and indifferent. C. Cooperative and proud. D. Critical and autonomous. 11. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring and comparing. B. By showing cause and effect. C. By giving opinions and examples. D. By stating problems and solutions. D Heating and lighting buildings consume a significant portion of global energy — about 18%, according to the International Energy Agency. Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems (空调通风系统) that respond slowly to weather changes, leading to energy waste. However, AI is seen as a potential solution. While AI itself can be energy-intensive — Microsoft has acknowledged that its AI development threatens climate goals — experts believe AI can improve energy efficiency in large buildings. A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%, and initial efforts to integrate AIinto HVAC systems have been promising. Sam Ramadori, CEO of BrainBox AI, explains that large buildings often have thousands of HVAC components that need to work together efficiently. His company’s technology uses predictive AI to send instructions every five minutes to various parts of the system, optimizing energy use and comfort. For example, the AI system at 45 Broadway begins warming the building in prediction of a cold front, and it adjusts heat distribution based on sunlight exposure. Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have also explored AI’s potential in building efficiency. Their study suggests that integrating AI with HVAC systems could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 8% to 19%, or even more with active policy measures. AI can help minimize a building’s carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance, by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime (停工期). Other initiatives have shown similar benefits. In Stockholm, AI tools were applied in 87 HVAC systems in educational facilities, resulting in an annual reduction of 64 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (等量) and an 8% decrease in electricity usage. The University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Energy Engineering also supports the idea that AI can significantly reduce power consumption in complex HVAC systems, especially those with both indoor and outdoor units. As the globe warms, efficient cooling systems will be increasingly important. Arash Zarmehr, a building performance consultant at the engineering firm WSP, says that “AIl engineers are aware that human controls on HVAC systems reduce efficiencies,” he says. “AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings.” 12. What does the 2024 study show? A. AI contributes to climate change. B. AI consumes much global energy. C. AI decreases energy consumption. D. AI is widely used in HVAC systems. 13. How can AI help building efficiency? A. By shortening a building’s lifecycle. B. By minimizing HVAC’s components. C. By regulating heat distribution randomly. D. By telling equipment failures in advance. 14. What is Arash Zarmehr’s attitude towards the use of AI? A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Pessimistic. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. The Challenges of AI’s Rise B. The Energy Use in Buildings C. The Impact of HVAC Systems D. AI’s Application in a New Field 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Societies encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is frowned upon.

To find an ideal place to build and present it, I focused my eyes on our school basketball court. However, the basketball team needed the same space to practice for the regional finals. Their captain, Alex, stormed in front of me and exclaimed, “You can’t use the court for that! We need it for practice, and your sculpture will just get in the way.” I tried to explain that our sculpture was temporary and would be removed after the event, but he wouldn’t listen. Neither of us was willing to back down. At last, both of us made a compromise(妥协): they practiced on the left half, and we built the sculpture on the other half. But problems grew quickly. In the first few days, the team complained our sculpture materials blocked their training, and we argued their bouncing balls shook our sculpture base. Things turned worse in the following days. They “accidentally” shot their basketball at our sculpture, leaving holes and broken pieces. We “forgot” to remove tools and materials off the court, adding more difficulty to their training. Finally, disaster broke out. Alex leaped for a dunk but crashed into our half-built sculpture. Bottles rained down, flying all over the court. “You ruined our three weeks of work!” I yelled. “Your trash ruined my shot!” he roared back. Just as the situation was about to lose control, our school principal walked in and dragged us to his office. After learning what had happened, he gave each of us a gentle pat on the shoulder, saying, “You both have good reasons for using the court. Winning a game is absolutely our goal and so is environmental protection. Can this court serve both?” I nodded but Alex still crossed his arms. Icy silence hung for what seemed like a century until the principal broke the silence, “I bet you know The Golden State Warriors, where Stephen Curry plays. Besides excellence in basketball skills, they also pride themselves on being one of the most environmentally focused teams in the league. They have advocated that water bottles should be recycled properly after every match. You see what I mean?” 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。 Hearing this, Alex’s eyes began to light up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Our eco-basketball game was a big success. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
