Leading museums worldwide are experimenting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies to create new experiences for audiences to engage with art and culture.
To reinvent an interactive experience, museums in China have started using digital humans—computer-generated 3D images resembling real people—to transform visitors’ encounters with history and culture. In cooperation with AI companies, Chinese museums have introduced digital humans as tour guides and ambassadors of tradition.
Ai Wenwen, a digital employee at the National Museum of China, can instantly change outfits, from modern clothing to Chinese traditional dress, and give guided tours of the museum. To give its digital employee the appeal of a human celebrity, the National Museum create a song that is presented as if sung by Ai Wenwen herself.
In addition to museums, digital humans can help bring historical figures to life. The Zhonghua Book Company has launched a virtual avatar (化身) of Su Shi, a celebrated Chinese poet and statesman. With the texts about Su Shi’s life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar, it can respond to real people in a manner and language resembling this great man in Chinese history. It made its first appearance in a CCTV youth talent show about Chinese poetry, surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.
The virtual avatar had conversations with live audiences about poems Su Shi wrote about 1,000 years ago. The TV show even presented an episode of the digital version of Su Shi acting with a human who played his close friend, the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian.
The Su Shi avatar has also become a social media influencer, posting quizzes and educational content on literature, geography, and customs. Additionally, the company organizes in-person events where students interact with digital humans to learn history and literature.
Museums and cultural institutions across China have incorporated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea, poetry and calligraphy. Audiences at these exhibitions have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.
24. Why Chinese museums apply digital humans?
A. To reduce the cost of hiring real tour guides. B. To enhance visitors’ cultural experience.
C. To promote latest AR and VR technologies. D. To compete with international museums.
25. What can Ai Wenwen do during tours?
A. Switch clothes in a flash. B. Compose original music.
C. Repair historical artifacts. D. Conduct academic research.
26. How did the Su Shi avatar surprise audiences on TV?
A. By composing poetry on the spot. B. By acting out his close friend vividly.
C. By responding in a human-like way. D. By having a touchable human look.
27. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The End of Human Guides. B. The Making of a Virtual Pop Star.
C. A Digital Bridge to the Past. D. The Role of AI in Cultural Heritage.

Mrs. Mason was “the perfect reading ambassador,” said Sandra Martin-Chang, recalling an early reading role model, her high school English and drama teacher. “She encouraged me to read excellent books with great story lines. We read The Handmaid's Tale, and it was fabulous…We’d imagine it first and then think about how to stage it and bring it to life.”
Now a professor of education at Concordia University, Martin-Chang studies how reading storybooks and novels influences cognitive (认知的) development.
In a new study published in Reading and Writing, she and her colleagues found significant differences between students who read for pleasure outside of class and those who primarily read books to satisfy school assignments. Not only was there a powerful link between reading for fun and stronger language skills, but students who disliked reading frequently owed their negative outlook to experiences they had in classrooms. Too much emphasis on analyzing the compositional nuts and bolts of texts and reading merely to absorb information came at a psychological cost, the researchers found, as students disengaged from voluntary reading.
But analyzing the elements of good writing — how persuasion works, how figurative language can enhance texts — is essential to teaching kids the full range of their expressive potential, and Martin-Chang isn’t suggesting that we read only for fun. “Competence is very, very important. We can’t skip straight to books children love without teaching them how to do it right,” she said. She likens reading to eating a well-balanced diet: “The people who say chocolate is good for you don't recommend eating it to the exclusion of all other things.”
For Martin-Chang, reading for pleasure isn’t a departure from demanding academics — it’s a rewarding form of cognitive exercise, one that is both enjoyable and intellectually beneficial. “Offer more choice,”| said Martin-Chang. Introduce students to Romeo and Juliet, but give them the option to read The Fault in Our Stars as well; let them read comic books, sports writing and plays, sci-fi and horror novels. In other words, to build literacy skills, it’s better for them to consume dozens of texts that they love, connect with, or feel inspired by, instead of reluctantly reading one because it’s assigned.
28. What role does Mrs. Mason play in Martin-Chang’s growth?
A. A strict literature evaluator. B. An innovative reading reformer.
C. A professional drama coach. D. A passionate reading motivator.
29. What does the underlined word "disengaged" mean?
A. Suffered. B. Learned. C. Benefited. D. Withdrew.
30. What does the chocolate citation show?
A. Fun should be prioritized over analysis. B. Competence and enjoyment must coexist.
C. Academic reading ensures literacy skills. D. Interest is the key to reading competence.
31. What is the writer’s intention?
A. To criticize a phenomenon. B. To compare two methods.
C. To advocate an approach. D. To analyze research results.
D
Urban areas suffer from heat islands. While trees offer natural cooling, many cities lack sufficient greenery. Botanists propose a solution: miniature forests engineered for rapid growth.
Traditional ecological success progresses from grasses to shrubs (灌木) to mature trees over decades. The Miyawaki method skips the early phases and jumps directly to planting species found in a mature wood. Practitioners select around 100 local species through field surveys. Using a wide mix of species, not all of them trees, is important. Most plantations, having been created for commercial purposes, are monocultures. But trees, shrubs and ground-covering herbs all coexist in natural forests, and the Miyawaki versions have this from the start, encouraging the plants to grow faster.
Gardeners gather seeds and plant them at random, rather than in rows. The seedlings have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. Trees planted in this way can shoot up as much as 14% more rapidly than normal. Gardens are tended for three years, then become self-sustaining, maturing in decades. Gardeners are not limited to follow nature’s recipe book to the letter. Miyawaki forests can be tailored to local requirements.
Mr Sharma, a leading advocate of the Miyawaki method, has brought his experience building cars to bear on the question of tree planting, who is particularly hot on time and motion. He has measured how long, on average, it takes to plant each sort of seed or seedling and uses that information to schedule their sowing. His firm has created over a hundred forests in ten countries in this way. It has also inspired at least 15 imitators (模仿者), in places as diverse as Australia, Chile and Iran.
What Mr Sharma and others like him offer looks like a modern version of the 19th-century movements that brought city parks and their associated health benefits to the industrializing West. In those days the prevailing attitude towards nature was to try to tame it, and the parks created reflect that in their controlled, formal design. Now, greenery and environmentalism are the fashion, and the wild-like Miyawaki approach reflects this perfectly. The purpose is the same as before — to introduce rus in urbe. But the means are completely in tune with the times.
32. According to Miyawaki method, which is helpful for rapid forest growth?
A. Introducing non-native mature species. B. Copying early succession stages.
C. High-density competitive planting. D. Monoculture forest establishment.
33. What does Mr. Sharma’s approach emphasize?
A. Industrial-like efficiency. B. Inflexible natural processes.
C. Setting models for followers. D. Awareness of forest protection.
34. How has urban greening changed since the 19th-century?
A. Health benefits of parks are considered. B. From managing it to working with nature.
C. Awareness of green cities has arisen. D. Perfect appearance is now the primary focus.
35. What does “rus in urbe” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Creating neatly arranged landscape. B. Making the city forest wilder.
C. Pursuing creative natural design. D. Bringing nature into cities.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共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。
The science of stage fright and how to overcome it
Heart racing, palms sweating, labored breathing? No, you’re not having a heart attack— it’s stage fright. ____36____ Here is how to trick your brain and steal the show.
____37____ The nervousness we feel about public speaking comes from an ancient survival instinct called the “fight or flight” response. This automatic reaction happens in the primitive part of our brain, which mistakes possible embarrassment for a life-threatening danger. Famous scientist Charles Darwin proved this when he found himself terrified at a zoo snake exhibit — even though he knew he was safe, he couldn’t stop his fear.
How do we fight it? First, perspective. This isn’t all in your head. It’s a natural physical reaction caused by your body’s autonomic nervous system. ____38____ For example, even though John Lennon performed thousands of concerts in his life, he still felt sick before every show. This shows that some people are naturally more likely to feel scared when speaking or performing in front of others.
____39____ Practice a lot starting long before in an environment similar to the real performance. Practicing any task increases your familiarity and reduces anxiety, so when it’s time to speak in public, you’re confident in yourself and the task at hand. Steve Jobs rehearsed (排练) his epic speeches for hundreds of hours, starting weeks in advance.
Right before you go on stage, when nerves are at their worst, you can trick your body into feeling calmer. Simply stretch your arms up and take a deep breath. ____40____
So, when you finally give your speech with a clear voice and a relaxed body, it’s not because you got rid of your stage fright. It’s because you have learned to work with it.
A. This tells your brain to relax.
B. We should understand what stage fright is.
C. You’ll definitely get rid of your stage fright.
D. And genetics play a huge role in social anxiety.
E. Stage fright is more due to the lack of practice than a natural process.
F. Since stage fright is natural and inevitable, focus on what you can control.
G. If speaking in public makes you feel like you’re fighting for your life, you’re not alone.

I was eagerly anticipating our takeoff. “Ladies and gentlemen,” the captain came, his tone calm yet ____41____, “I regret to inform you that our flight will be ____42____ by an hour.”

I could ____46____ the frustration and impatience among my fellow passengers. But just when it seemed like the situation could intensify, a team rushed onto the plane. They ____47____ with them several large refrigerated containers. The captain, now feeling the ____48____ of the moment, made another announcement.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, his voice steady but filled with ____49____, “I must apologize for the delay. However, I must also inform you of the ____50____ behind it. We are ____51____ to have on board a team of doctors and a precious cargo — a heart, intended to save a life. We thank you for your understanding and support.”
The cabin fell silent. For a moment, the frustration and impatience ____52____, replaced by an overwhelming sense of awe and respect. We, the passengers, had become unwitting ____53____ to a life-saving journey.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Find yourself at the doorway of ancient buildings in China, and your gaze will be drawn toward the vibrant colors, the light and the guardian lions ____56____ (stand) watch.
But were you to turn your back, you may face a section of wall, only ____57____ (slight) larger than the entrance. You would be forgiven for thinking this is just some remaining of another building, with the rest lost to history, ____58____ was my initial assumption the first time I spotted one. However, these unassuming walls have a ____59____ (charm) story spanning thousands of years.
Zhaobi, or spirit wall, dates from more than 3000 years ago. Yet the purpose as well as its meaning ____60____ (evolve) over the course of history. Seeing Zhaobi outside a building would let ____61____ (passerby) know this is the residence of someone important, ensuring privacy. It is also believed to allow for better flow of qi, or vital energy, to be conserved. Zhaobi later became more of a form of artistic expression, ____62____ families using it as a canvas of poetry, paintings, or characters to tell their family history and achievements or to represent luck and fortune.
____63____ that is a physical symbol of someone's social position, an instrument for preserving qi, or a record of the exceptional deeds of a family's history, these structures stand as a true ____64____ (represent) of the resilience and development of Chinese history.
These walls often go overlooked, but their continued existence is more than just to retain the mysterious qi, but ____65____ (bear) witness to the continuous story of China.

67. 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。
For three years, I had refused my son David’s begging for a dog, fearing it would disrupt the peace, beauty, and order I cherished in our home. The turning point came when I saw thirty notes hidden in his room, each one reading: “Dear Mom, I want a dog,” Moved by a mother’s desire not to see her son feel disappointed, I gave in. I brought home Tippy, a mixed-breed puppy.
For David, it was instant bonding and days filled with joyful commands of “sit, girl, heel (跟紧), girl.” But for me, the reality of puppy ownership quickly set in. While David attended school, the spirited puppy became bored. It fell on me to rescue the socks, slippers and the mail-man. When I tied Tippy to a tree, her whines (哀嚎) got on my nerves.
“I’m going to get rid of that dog,” I told David.
“Just leave the messes till I get home,” David offered anxiously, his attachment to Tippy evident.
When Tippy was seven months old, our yard became a battleground. From behind my curtains I watched, terrified, as seven dogs wrestled for the love of Tippy. Nine weeks later, to no one’s surprise, Tippy presented us with a litter (窝) of pups. David was excited. But I was mad. All I could think about was Tippy’s energetic puppyhood about to be repeated nine times at once!
When the puppies were five weeks old, Tippy developed a life-threatening disease. Following the vet’s advice, we had to immediately give away all her puppies to save her. She recovered. Yet the separation sent Tippy into a deep depression. As her grief soon turned into aggression, she dragged home dead animals, bared her teeth at anyone who came near, and trapped my friends in their car in our driveway. This was the final straw for me. Tippy would have to go.
I took Tippy and headed for the animal adoption center. Unexpected tears trickled down my cheeks. This is the right thing to do, I persuaded myself — I didn’t want to think otherwise.
注意:
1.续写词数应150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Back home, I found David lying in his bed, sobbing and unwilling to eat or sleep.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I took Tippy back to our door, she ran straight for David.

Leading museums worldwide are experimenting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies to create new experiences for audiences to engage with art and culture.
To reinvent an interactive experience, museums in China have started using digital humans—computer-generated 3D images resembling real people—to transform visitors’ encounters with history and culture. In cooperation with AI companies, Chinese museums have introduced digital humans as tour guides and ambassadors of tradition.
Ai Wenwen, a digital employee at the National Museum of China, can instantly change outfits, from modern clothing to Chinese traditional dress, and give guided tours of the museum. To give its digital employee the appeal of a human celebrity, the National Museum create a song that is presented as if sung by Ai Wenwen herself.
In addition to museums, digital humans can help bring historical figures to life. The Zhonghua Book Company has launched a virtual avatar (化身) of Su Shi, a celebrated Chinese poet and statesman. With the texts about Su Shi’s life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar, it can respond to real people in a manner and language resembling this great man in Chinese history. It made its first appearance in a CCTV youth talent show about Chinese poetry, surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.
The virtual avatar had conversations with live audiences about poems Su Shi wrote about 1,000 years ago. The TV show even presented an episode of the digital version of Su Shi acting with a human who played his close friend, the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian.
The Su Shi avatar has also become a social media influencer, posting quizzes and educational content on literature, geography, and customs. Additionally, the company organizes in-person events where students interact with digital humans to learn history and literature.
Museums and cultural institutions across China have incorporated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea, poetry and calligraphy. Audiences at these exhibitions have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.
24. Why Chinese museums apply digital humans?
A. To reduce the cost of hiring real tour guides. B. To enhance visitors’ cultural experience.
C. To promote latest AR and VR technologies. D. To compete with international museums.
25. What can Ai Wenwen do during tours?
A. Switch clothes in a flash. B. Compose original music.
C. Repair historical artifacts. D. Conduct academic research.
26. How did the Su Shi avatar surprise audiences on TV?
A. By composing poetry on the spot. B. By acting out his close friend vividly.
C. By responding in a human-like way. D. By having a touchable human look.
27. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The End of Human Guides. B. The Making of a Virtual Pop Star.
C. A Digital Bridge to the Past. D. The Role of AI in Cultural Heritage.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是中国博物馆和文化机构正借助“数字人”技术,把静态的历史变成可对话、可互动的沉浸式体验——从国博的换装导览员“艾雯雯”到能吟诗对谈、上综艺、发社媒的“苏轼”,这些虚拟形象让千年人物“活”过来,带观众穿越式地感受传统文化。
【24题详解】

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Ai Wenwen, a digital employee at the National Museum of China, can instantly change outfits, from modern clothing to Chinese traditional dress, and give guided tours of the museum.(艾雯雯是中国国家博物馆的一名数字员工,她可以即时更换服装,从现代服装到中国传统服装,并进行博物馆的导览讲解。)”可知,艾雯雯可以瞬间换衣服。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“With the texts about Su Shi’s life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar, it can respond to real people in a manner and language resembling this great man in Chinese history. It made its first appearance in a CCTV youth talent show about Chinese poetry, surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.(将有关苏轼生平及文学作品的文本输入该虚拟化身后,它能以酷似这位中国历史名人的方式和语言与真人进行互动。它首次亮相于中央电视台一档关于中国诗词的青年才艺展示节目,以其高度逼真的人形特质令观众惊叹不已。)”可知,苏轼的虚拟化身通过以近似真人的方式做出回应,令观众感到惊讶。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“Museums and cultural institutions across China have incorporated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea, poetry and calligraphy. Audiences at these exhibitions have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.(中国各地的博物馆和文化机构都引入了苏轼的虚拟化身,打造了以下午茶、诗词和书法为主题的互动展览。在这些展览中,观众有机会体验这位遥远过去的著名诗人的日常生活。)”可知,本文主要讲的是中国博物馆和文化机构正借助“数字人”技术,把静态的历史变成可对话、可互动的沉浸式体验——从国博的换装导览员“艾雯雯”到能吟诗对谈、上综艺、发社媒的“苏轼”,这些虚拟形象让千年人物“活”过来,带观众穿越式地感受传统文化,因此最好的题目是C选项“A Digital Bridge to the Past.(通往过去的数字桥梁。)”。故选C。
C
Mrs. Mason was “the perfect reading ambassador,” said Sandra Martin-Chang, recalling an early reading role model, her high school English and drama teacher. “She encouraged me to read excellent books with great story lines. We read The Handmaid's Tale, and it was fabulous…We’d imagine it first and then think about how to stage it and bring it to life.”
Now a professor of education at Concordia University, Martin-Chang studies how reading storybooks and novels influences cognitive (认知的) development.
In a new study published in Reading and Writing, she and her colleagues found significant differences between students who read for pleasure outside of class and those who primarily read books to satisfy school assignments. Not only was there a powerful link between reading for fun and stronger language skills, but students who disliked reading frequently owed their negative outlook to experiences they had in classrooms. Too much emphasis on analyzing the compositional nuts and bolts of texts and reading merely to absorb information came at a psychological cost, the researchers found, as students disengaged from voluntary reading.
But analyzing the elements of good writing — how persuasion works, how figurative language can enhance texts — is essential to teaching kids the full range of their expressive potential, and Martin-Chang isn’t suggesting that we read only for fun. “Competence is very, very important. We can’t skip straight to books children love without teaching them how to do it right,” she said. She likens reading to eating a well-balanced diet: “The people who say chocolate is good for you don't recommend eating it to the exclusion of all other things.”
For Martin-Chang, reading for pleasure isn’t a departure from demanding academics — it’s a rewarding form of cognitive exercise, one that is both enjoyable and intellectually beneficial. “Offer more choice,”| said Martin-Chang. Introduce students to Romeo and Juliet, but give them the option to read The Fault in Our Stars as well; let them read comic books, sports writing and plays, sci-fi and horror novels. In other words, to build literacy skills, it’s better for them to consume dozens of texts that they love, connect with, or feel inspired by, instead of reluctantly reading one because it’s assigned.
28. What role does Mrs. Mason play in Martin-Chang’s growth?
A. A strict literature evaluator. B. An innovative reading reformer.
C. A professional drama coach. D. A passionate reading motivator.
29. What does the underlined word "disengaged" mean?
A. Suffered. B. Learned. C. Benefited. D. Withdrew.
30. What does the chocolate citation show?
A. Fun should be prioritized over analysis. B. Competence and enjoyment must coexist.
C. Academic reading ensures literacy skills. D. Interest is the key to reading competence.
31. What is the writer’s intention?
A. To criticize a phenomenon. B. To compare two methods.
C. To advocate an approach. D. To analyze research results.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕教育教授Martin-Chang的研究展开,介绍了课外阅读乐趣对学生的影响,指出课堂过度侧重文本分析会降低学生阅读积极性,同时提出“兼顾阅读能力培养与阅读乐趣”的建议。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mrs. Mason was “the perfect reading ambassador,” said Sandra Martin-Chang, recalling an early reading role model, her high school English and drama teacher. “She encouraged me to read excellent books with great story lines.”(桑德拉·马丁-张回忆起她高中时的英语和戏剧老师,这位早期的阅读榜样,她说梅森夫人是‘完美的阅读大使’。‘她鼓励我阅读故事情节精彩的优秀书籍。’)”可知,梅森夫人鼓励马丁-张阅读故事情节精彩的优秀书籍,由此可知,梅森夫人在马丁-张的成长中扮演了热情的阅读推动者的角色。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Too much emphasis on analyzing the compositional nuts and bolts of texts and reading merely to absorb information came at a psychological cost, the researchers found, as students disengaged from voluntary reading.(研究人员发现,过度强调分析文本的构成细节,以及仅为获取信息而阅读,会带来心理代价,因为学生们会从自愿阅读中disengaged。)”可知,“过度分析”和“功利性阅读”让学生对自愿阅读产生负面态度,由此可推测“disengaged”意为“脱离、退出”,与“withdrew”含义相近。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““Competence is very, very important. We can’t skip straight to books children love without teaching them how to do it right,” she said. She likens reading to eating a well-balanced diet: “The people who say chocolate is good for you don't recommend eating it to the exclusion of all other things.”(‘能力非常重要。我们不能不教孩子们如何正确阅读就直接跳到他们喜欢的书上,’她说。她把阅读比作吃均衡的饮食:‘那些说巧克力对你有好处的人,并不建议只吃巧克力而排斥其他所有东西。’)”可知,马丁-张把阅读比作吃均衡的饮食,巧克力虽好但不能只吃巧克力,这说明阅读时能力和乐趣必须并存,就像饮食要均衡一样,不能只注重一方面而忽视另一方面。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Offer more choice,”| said Martin-Chang. Introduce students to Romeo and Juliet, but give them the option to read The Fault in Our Stars as well; let them read comic books, sports writing and plays, sci-fi and horror novels. In other words, to build literacy skills, it’s better for them to consume dozens of texts that they love, connect with, or feel inspired by, instead of reluctantly reading one because it’s assigned.(‘提供更多的选择,’马丁-张说。向学生介绍《罗密欧与朱丽叶》,但也让他们选择读《星运里的错》;让他们读漫画书、体育写作和戏剧、科幻和恐怖小说。换句话说,为了培养读写能力,他们最好阅读几十本他们喜欢、与之产生联系或感觉受到启发的文本,而不是因为被布置了任务而勉强阅读一本。)”可知,文章最后一段马丁-张提倡给学生提供更多的阅读选择,让他们读自己喜欢的书,而不是因为被布置了任务而勉强阅读一本,由此可知,作者的意图是提倡一种为了乐趣而阅读的方法。故选C。
D
Urban areas suffer from heat islands. While trees offer natural cooling, many cities lack sufficient greenery. Botanists propose a solution: miniature forests engineered for rapid growth.
Traditional ecological success progresses from grasses to shrubs (灌木) to mature trees over decades. The Miyawaki method skips the early phases and jumps directly to planting species found in a mature wood. Practitioners select around 100 local species through field surveys. Using a wide mix of species, not all of them trees, is important. Most plantations, having been created for commercial purposes, are monocultures. But trees, shrubs and ground-covering herbs all coexist in natural forests, and the Miyawaki versions have this from the start, encouraging the plants to grow faster.
Gardeners gather seeds and plant them at random, rather than in rows. The seedlings have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. Trees planted in this way can shoot up as much as 14% more rapidly than normal. Gardens are tended for three years, then become self-sustaining, maturing in decades. Gardeners are not limited to follow nature’s recipe book to the letter. Miyawaki forests can be tailored to local requirements.
Mr Sharma, a leading advocate of the Miyawaki method, has brought his experience building cars to bear on the question of tree planting, who is particularly hot on time and motion. He has measured how long, on average, it takes to plant each sort of seed or seedling and uses that information to schedule their sowing. His firm has created over a hundred forests in ten countries in this way. It has also inspired at least 15 imitators (模仿者), in places as diverse as Australia, Chile and Iran.
What Mr Sharma and others like him offer looks like a modern version of the 19th-century movements that brought city parks and their associated health benefits to the industrializing West. In those days the prevailing attitude towards nature was to try to tame it, and the parks created reflect that in their controlled, formal design. Now, greenery and environmentalism are the fashion, and the wild-like Miyawaki approach reflects this perfectly. The purpose is the same as before — to introduce rus in urbe. But the means are completely in tune with the times.
32. According to Miyawaki method, which is helpful for rapid forest growth?
A. Introducing non-native mature species. B. Copying early succession stages.
C. High-density competitive planting. D. Monoculture forest establishment.
33. What does Mr. Sharma’s approach emphasize?
A. Industrial-like efficiency. B. Inflexible natural processes.
C. Setting models for followers. D. Awareness of forest protection.
34. How has urban greening changed since the 19th-century?
A. Health benefits of parks are considered. B. From managing it to working with nature.
C. Awareness of green cities has arisen. D. Perfect appearance is now the primary focus.
35. What does “rus in urbe” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Creating neatly arranged landscape. B. Making the city forest wilder.
C. Pursuing creative natural design. D. Bringing nature into cities.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了针对城市热岛效应,植物学家提出的“宫胁法”迷你森林解决方案,包括该方法的原理、沙尔玛先生对其的优化应用,以及其与19世纪城市绿化方式的差异。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Miyawaki method skips the early phases and jumps directly to planting species found in a mature wood. Practitioners select around 100 local species through field surveys. Using a wide mix of species, not all of them trees, is important. Most plantations, having been created for commercial purposes, are monocultures. But trees, shrubs and ground-covering herbs all coexist in natural forests, and the Miyawaki versions have this from the start, encouraging the plants to grow faster.(宫胁法跳过了早期阶段,直接种植成熟森林中存在的树种。实践者会通过实地调查,挑选出约100种本地物种。采用种类丰富的混合种植模式十分重要,且这些物种并非全是树木。大多数出于商业目的打造的人工林都是单一树种林。但在自然森林中,乔木、灌木和地被草本植物会共同生存,而宫胁法营造的森林从一开始就具备这种(物种共存)特征,这能促进植物更快生长。)”及第三段中“Gardeners gather seeds and plant them at random, rather than in rows. The seedlings have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. Trees planted in this way can shoot up as much as 14% more rapidly than normal.(园丁们收集种子,随机种植而非成排种植。幼苗必须争夺阳光,因此只有生长最快的才能存活。用这种方式种植的树木生长速度比正常情况快14%。)”可知,宫胁法跳过了早期阶段、不建立单一树种森林,也不引入非本地成熟物种,而是通过随机种植多种本地物种,让幼苗竞争阳光,即高密度竞争性种植,以此促进森林快速生长。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Mr Sharma, a leading advocate of the Miyawaki method, has brought his experience building cars to bear on the question of tree planting, who is particularly hot on time and motion. He has measured how long, on average, it takes to plant each sort of seed or seedling and uses that information to schedule their sowing.(沙尔玛先生是宫胁法的主要倡导者,他将自己造车的经验应用到植树问题上,尤其注重时间和效率。他测量了种植每种种子或幼苗平均所需的时间,并利用这些信息安排播种时间。)”可推知,沙尔玛的方法强调工业化般的效率(注重时间、测算流程、优化安排。)。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In those days the prevailing attitude towards nature was to try to tame it, and the parks created reflect that in their controlled, formal design. Now, greenery and environmentalism are the fashion, and the wild-like Miyawaki approach reflects this perfectly.(那时人们对自然的普遍态度是试图驯服它,所创建的公园在其受控制的、规整的设计中体现了这一点。现在,绿化和环保主义成为潮流,宫胁法这种类似野生的方法完美体现了这一点。)”可知,19世纪城市绿化是“驯服自然”(管理自然),如今是“顺应自然”(采用野生化方式),即从管理自然转变为与自然协作。故选B。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“What Mr Sharma and others like him offer looks like a modern version of the 19th-century movements that brought city parks and their associated health benefits to the industrializing West.(沙尔玛先生和其他像他一样的人所提供的,看起来像是19世纪运动的现代版,这些运动为工业化中的西方带来了城市公园及其相关的健康益处。)”以及“The purpose is the same as before — to introduce rus in urbe.(目的和以前一样——引入rus in urbe。)”可知,19世纪的运动为工业化中的西方带来了城市公园及其相关的健康益处,现在沙尔玛等人所做的目的和以前一样,都是将自然引入城市,所以“rus in urbe”意思是“将自然引入城市”。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共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。
The science of stage fright and how to overcome it
Heart racing, palms sweating, labored breathing? No, you’re not having a heart attack— it’s stage fright. ____36____ Here is how to trick your brain and steal the show.
____37____ The nervousness we feel about public speaking comes from an ancient survival instinct called the “fight or flight” response. This automatic reaction happens in the primitive part of our brain, which mistakes possible embarrassment for a life-threatening danger. Famous scientist Charles Darwin proved this when he found himself terrified at a zoo snake exhibit — even though he knew he was safe, he couldn’t stop his fear.
How do we fight it? First perspective. This isn’t all in your head. It’s a natural physical reaction caused by your body’s autonomic nervous system. ____38____ For example, even though John Lennon performed thousands of concerts in his life, he still felt sick before every show. This shows that some people are naturally more likely to feel scared when speaking or performing in front of others.
____39____ Practice a lot, starting long before in an environment similar to the real performance. Practicing any task increases your familiarity and reduces anxiety, so when it’s time to speak in public, you’re confident in yourself and the task at hand. Steve Jobs rehearsed (排练) his epic speeches for hundreds of hours, starting weeks in advance.
Right before you go on stage, when nerves are at their worst, you can trick your body into feeling calmer. Simply stretch your arms up and take a deep breath. ____40____
So, when you finally give your speech with a clear voice and a relaxed body, it’s not because you got rid of your stage fright. It’s because you have learned to work with it.
A. This tells your brain to relax.
B. We should understand what stage fright is.
C. You’ll definitely get rid of your stage fright.
D. And genetics play a huge role in social anxiety.
E. Stage fright is more due to the lack of practice than a natural process.
F. Since stage fright is natural and inevitable, focus on what you can control.
G. If speaking in public makes you feel like you’re fighting for your life, you’re not alone.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. D 39. F 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍怯场背后的科学原理及应对之策。
【36题详解】
空格前“Heart racing, palms sweating, labored breathing? No, you’re not having a heart attack— it’s stage fright.(心跳加速,手心冒汗,呼吸困难?不,你不是心脏病发作,是怯场)”描述了紧张时的生理反应,空格后“Here is how to trick your brain and steal the show.(以下教你如何“欺骗”大脑,成功掌控全场)”指出有方法可以克服怯场。G选项“If speaking in public makes you feel like you’re fighting for your life, you’re not alone.(如果在公共场合演讲让你觉得自己在为自己的生命而战,那么你不是一个人)”承接了上文“这不是心脏病”的表述,并引出了下文“克服方法”的主题,起到了承上启下的作用。故选G。
【37题详解】
空格后“The nervousness we feel about public speaking comes from an ancient survival instinct called the “fight or flight” response.(我们对公开演讲产生的紧张感,源自一种古老的生存本能——“战斗或逃跑”反应)”解释了紧张的来源是古老的生存本能。B选项“We should understand what stage fright is.(我们应该明白什么是怯场)”是一个总起句,引出了下文对舞台恐惧本质的科学解释,因此符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
空格前“It’s a natural physical reaction caused by your body’s automatic nervous system.(这是一种自然的生理反应,由你身体的自动神经系统引起)”提到怯场这是一种自然的生理反应,后文以John Lennon为例,说明即使经验丰富也会紧张。D选项“And genetics play a huge role in social anxiety.(基因在社交焦虑中起着重要作用)”与上文构成递进关系,进一步从“遗传”角度补充说明了这种紧张感的来源,与列侬的例子共同支撑了“这是自然反应”的观点。故选D。
【39题详解】
空格处是本段主旨句,由空后“Practice a lot, starting long before in an environment similar to the real performance. Practicing any task increases your familiarity and reduces anxiety, so when it’s time to speak in public, you’re confident in yourself and the task at hand. Steve Jobs rehearsed (排练) his epic speeches for hundreds of hours, starting weeks in advance.(早早开始,在接近真实表演场景的环境中反复练习。练习任何任务都能提升你的熟悉度,减轻焦虑感,因此,当需要在公众面前演讲时,你会对自己和手头的任务充满信心。史蒂夫·乔布斯会提前数周开始,花上数百小时来排练他那些堪称经典的演讲)”可知,本段主要讲的是要自己多练习,这是你能做到和控制的,F选项“Since stage fright is natural and inevitable, focus on what you can control.(因为怯场是自然的和不可避免的,专注于你能控制的)”说明要专注于自己能控制的——多练习,概括了本段内容,可作为主旨句,故选F。
【40题详解】
空格前“Simply stretch your arms up and take a deep breath.(只需将双臂向上伸展,深吸一口气)”是一个具体的身体指令:“伸展手臂,深呼吸”。A选项“This tells your brain to relax.(这会告诉你的大脑放松)”解释了前面那个动作的目的和效果,承接上文,符合语境。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统建筑中的照壁,讲述了其历史起源、功能演变以及在中华文化中的象征意义。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你站在中国古建筑的门口,目光总会被鲜艳的色彩、光影以及镇守一旁的石狮所吸引。句中已有谓语动词“will be drawn”,且无连词,因此空格处需用非谓语动词。“guardian lions”与“stand”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。故填standing。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:但若是转身回望,你可能会面对一堵墙,只比入口略大一点。空格处需修饰形容词比较级“larger”,修饰形容词需用副词,“slight”的副词形式为“slightly”。故填slightly。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:你可能会认为这只是另一座建筑的遗迹,其余部分已湮没在历史中,我第一次看到它时也是这么想的。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文整个句子的内容,且在从句中作主语,可用关系代词“as”或“which”。“as”引导的从句可位于句首、句中或句末,表示“正如”,“which”引导的从句通常位于句末,此处两者均符合语法要求。故填as/which。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,这些不起眼的墙背后有一个迷人的、跨越数千年的故事。空格处需修饰名词“story”,修饰名词需用形容词,“charm”的形容词形式为“charming”,表示“迷人的”。故填charming。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:然而,它的用途和意义在历史进程中已经发生了演变。句中“over the course of history”是现在完成时的标志,主语“the purpose as well as its meaning”中,“as well as”连接两个主语时,谓语动词与前面的主语“the purpose”保持一致,为单数形式。故填has evolved。
【61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:在建筑物外看到照壁,路人就会知道这是重要人物的居所,以确保隐私。“passerby”是可数名词,此处表示泛指所有路人,需用复数形式。“passerby”的复数形式为“passersby”或“passers-by”。故填passersby/passers-by。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:照壁后来更多地成为一种艺术表达形式,家家户户将其用作诗歌、绘画或文字的画布,讲述家族历史和成就,或象征吉祥与福气。空格后“families using it...”是宾语和现在分词结构,此处需用介词“with”引导,构成“with + 名词 + 现在分词”的结构,表示伴随状态。故填with。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:无论是一个人社会地位的有形象征,还是保存“气”的工具,或是家族杰出事迹的记录,这些建筑都是中国历史韧性与发展的真正代表。整个句子的主句为“these structures stand as a true representation of the resilience and development of Chinese history”,而空格后的“that is a physical symbol of someone's social position, an instrument for preserving qi, or a record of the exceptional deeds of a family's history”是一个由三个并列名词短语构成的部分,用于列举“these structures”所具备的不同属性,呈现出明显的选择关系。结合从句中出现的并列连词“or”,可以判断此处考查的是表示选择关系的固定连词搭配“whether...or...”,该搭配的含义是“无论是……还是……”。同时,单词首字母需要大写。故填Whether。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:无论是一个人社会地位的有形象征,还是保存“气”的工具,或是家族杰出事迹的记录,这些建筑都是中国历史韧性与发展的真正代表。空格前有不定冠词“a”和形容词“true”,因此空格处需用名词单数形式。“represent”的名词形式为“representation”,表示“代表”。故填representation。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些墙壁往往被人们忽视,但它们的存在不仅仅是为了留存神秘的“气”,更是为了见证中国绵延不绝的历史。句中“more than just... but...”是核心连接结构,意为“不仅仅是……更是……”,用于连接两个并列的成分,且这两个成分需保持结构一致,即“平行结构”。前半部分“to retain”是不定式结构,后半部分“but”连接的内容需与前文的不定式结构平行,因此空格处也需用不定式形式to bear。故填to bear。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
For three years, I had refused my son David’s begging for a dog, fearing it would disrupt the peace, beauty, and order I cherished in our home. The turning point came when I saw thirty notes hidden in his room, each one reading: “Dear Mom, I want a dog,” Moved by a mother’s desire not to see her son feel disappointed, I gave in. I brought home Tippy, a mixed-breed puppy.
For David, it was instant bonding and days filled with joyful commands of “sit, girl, heel (跟紧), girl.” But for me, the reality of puppy ownership quickly set in. While David attended school, the spirited puppy became bored. It fell on me to rescue the socks, slippers and the mail-man. When I tied Tippy to a tree, her whines (哀嚎) got on my nerves.
“I’m going to get rid of that dog,” I told David.
“Just leave the messes till I get home,” David offered anxiously, his attachment to Tippy evident.
When Tippy was seven months old, our yard became a battleground. From behind my curtains I watched, terrified, as seven dogs wrestled for the love of Tippy. Nine weeks later, to no one’s surprise, Tippy presented us with a litter (窝) of pups. David was excited. But I was mad. All I could think about was Tippy’s energetic puppyhood about to be repeated nine times at once!
When the puppies were five weeks old, Tippy developed a life-threatening disease. Following the vet’s advice, we had to immediately give away all her puppies to save her. She recovered. Yet the separation sent Tippy into a deep depression. As her grief soon turned into aggression, she dragged home dead animals, bared her teeth at anyone who came near, and trapped my friends in their car in our driveway. This was the final straw for me. Tippy would have to go.
I took Tippy and headed for the animal adoption center. Unexpected tears trickled down my cheeks. This is the right thing to do, I persuaded myself — I didn’t want to think otherwise.

【答案】
Back home, I found David lying in his bed, sobbing and unwilling to eat or sleep. So disheartened was I to see David curled up on his bed, hugging his picture of Tippy. I wanted to comfort him, but how? After all, I was the one who had given away his beloved dog. A profound silence and sadness replaced the previous chaos in the house. It was in this quiet grief that I had my revelation: a neat and orderly house was a poor substitute for a happy one filled with laughter, running, and joyful barks. My heart, once divided, was now whole in its desire. I had been merely willing to have Tippy back; now, I wanted her back for David.
When I took Tippy back to our door, she ran straight for David. Like a nail drawn to a magnet, she zoomed towards David so excitedly and happily. What a blending of flesh and fur, arms and paws, legs and a tail! David kept saying, “Oh, Tippy, oh, Tippy,” and Tippy kept yipping and lapping David’s face. Then all of us were hugging and crying as Tippy gave us loving licks. Did peace, beauty and order return to our household? No, not exactly, but love and laughter did. And I can say with my whole heart, I’m glad!
