La Tomatina, Spain Once a year, in the Valencia town of Buñol, the Spanish gather to throw tomatoes at each other. The world’s largest tomato fight, La Tomatina, now attracts many participants from around the world. Battaglia delle Arance, Italy If you don’t like throwing tomatoes, how about oranges? During the Carnevale di Ivrea each year, residents of Ivrea, Italy come together to throw oranges at each other. The tradition is in memory of a war between the locals and a bad ruler, with oranges thrown as part of the fight for freedom. La Mordida, Mexico If you like to take small bites of your birthday cake, it might be best not to spend your birthday in Mexico. After singing Happy Birthday, guests watch while the birthday boy or girl blows out his/ her candles. He/ She then leans(倚靠) over and takes a bite of the cake, at which point someone will push his/ her face into it. Baking Money into Food, Bolivia Speaking of food, did you know that, in Bolivia, it is traditional to bake money into sweet cakes on New Year’s Eve? It’s a tradition in which bakeries across the country take part. Those who find a coin in their cakes can look forward to plenty of good luck in the new year. 21. What is Battaglia delle Arance in honour of? A. A fight with foreign enemies. B. A war for freedom. C. The harvest of oranges in Ivrea. D. The hard-working residents. 22. Which of the following best describes the moment of “La Mordida”? A. The second the candles are blown out. B. The time when guests sing the birthday song. C. The point at which the cake is cut into pieces. D. The instant the birthday person is pushed into the cake. 23. What do the four traditions have in common? A. They are related to food. B. They focus on human rights. C. They are traditions in Europe. D. They are traditions about dance. B It all began at my local airport. As I stood there, I suddenly realized my suitcase was still at home. I called my wife, and she promised to bring my bag on the next flight. The airport worker said that it would arrive at Utah’s hotel by evening. But when I checked in late that night, nothing waited. I called Delta Airlines. Peter, a baggage worker, said the flight was canceled. “It’ll reach your hotel by 9 tomorrow morning,” he promised. At 9 a.m., I called Delta again, voice shaking, “Where’s my bag? ” Peter asked calmly, “Can you make it through today?” “But I have nothing!” I wanted to scream. Instead, I washed my shirt in the washbowl, hung it near the heater, and hoped it would dry by morning. By noon, I’d given up. A man handed me socks and a shirt. “Traveling light?” he smiled. I nodded, shy. Later, Delta’s office said, “No record of baggage without a ticket number.” Peter phoned back the next morning. “I believe you, ” he said, “but truth needs proof. ” His words were kind but unhelpful. Days passed. Peter’s advice to “focus on today” kept me going. I borrowed a toothbrush, saved my only underwear, and laughed when I thought my suitcase was lying in New York. “That’s too long a way from LaGuardia Airport,” Peter joked during our fifth call. “Who knows why?” I laughed, though my heart ached. A week later, Delta called, “Your suitcase’s been in New York — trapped at LaGuardia.” At Salt Lake Airport in Utah, I spotted my dusty bag on the conveyor belt (传送带). “Could I call you again?” I asked Peter. “As long as you fly Delta,” he laughed quietly. I hugged the suitcase, laughing, though my heart still ached. Back home, I unpacked. Everything was there — even the book I’d forgotten. But the next trip, I chose to pack less — just one shirt and socks. Freedom, I learned, is about letting go. 24. What did the writer do when his suitcase did not arrive at the hotel? A. He washed his shirt in the bathroom. B. He borrowed a toothbrush from Peter. C. He called Delta Airlines to cancel his trip. D. He asked his wife to send it immediately. 25. Where did the writer finally take back his suitcase? A. At the writer’s home. B. In the Delta Airlines office. C. On the conveyor belt in Utah. D. At LaGuardia Airport in New York. 26. What does the underlined phrase “Traveling light” probably mean in the passage? A. Traveling during the day. B. Traveling for relaxation. C. Traveling without a clear goal. D. Traveling with only necessary things. 27. What is the lesson the writer learned from his experience? A. Patience helps solve difficulties. B. Losing bags is a common problem. C. Airline workers can’t help with problems. D. Traveling with fewer things makes you feel free. C In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to have a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) complexity. The new study, published in Nature, shows that these bees can learn complex(复杂的), multi-step tasks through social interaction(交流), even if they cannot figure them out on their own. Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Lars Chittka, Professor of Sensory and Behavioural Ecology at Queen Mary University of London, the research team designed a two-step puzzle box requiring bumblebees to perform two different actions in sequence (顺序) to get a sweet reward in the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward along the way. This reward was eventually taken away, and these demonstrator (示范者) bees later had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Dr Bridges stresses the newness of this study, “Other bees learned the whole sequence from social observation of these trained demonstrator bees, even without ever experiencing the first step’s reward. But when we let other bees attempt to open the box without a trained bee to demonstrate the solution, they didn’t manage to open any at all. This study shows that bumblebees have a level of social learning which was thought to be exclusive to humans before. They can share and develop behaviours that are beyond their individual cognitive abilities: an ability thought to form the expansive, complex nature of human culture. This research opens a new approach to understanding animal intelligence and the evolution of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions(设想) and paves the way for further exploration of the cognitive wonders hidden within the insect world, even suggesting the exciting possibility of cumulative (累积的) culture, the gradual accumulation(积累) of knowledge and skills over generations, among seemingly simple creatures. 28. How did researchers train the demonstrator bees? A. By teaching them to share sweets. B. By opening the box for them. C. By offering temporary rewards. D. By giving them easy tasks. 29. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unique. B. Unclear. C. Useful. D. Unknown. 30.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The finding of the study. B. The abilities of animals. C. The meaning of the study. D. The importance of insects. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Social Interaction Is Important for Mental Health B. Bumblebees Can Be Trained by Human Scientists C. Bumblebees Master Complex Tasks on Their Own D. Bumblebees Surprise Humans with Social Learning D Concrete (混凝土) is the world’s most used material after water. Because it already surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using concrete to store electricity — turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun: rechargeable batteries are necessary when the wind dies down or darkness falls. Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a traditional battery does. But one team now reports that it has developed a rechargeable original model that could represent a more than 10 times increase in stored charge, compared with earlier attempts. A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, “you can make a battery out of a potato,” notes Aimee Byrne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics. According to Emma, the study co-author, although the new design stores more than 10 times as much power as earlier attempts: 200 square meters of it “can provide about 8 percent of the daily electricity consumption of a typical U.S. home”, this is not enough to compete with today’s rechargeable devices. “We’re getting milliamps out of concrete batteries — we’re not getting amps (安培),” Byrne, a structural engineer at Technological University Dublin, says. “We’re getting hours rather than days of charge.” But she adds that “concrete batteries are completely in their childhood, compared to other battery designs”. The earliest batteries were large and heavy. Researchers experimented with new materials and designs for more than a century to develop today’s small devices. Byrne suggests concrete-based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. “The whole idea is that we’re looking far into the future,” she says, “We’re playing the long game with it.” 32. Why have researchers been exploring the use of concrete? A. Because concrete is far lighter. B. Because concrete is widely present. C. Because concrete is much cheaper. D. Because concrete can be easily transported. 33. What does Byrne want to show by mentioning the potato? A. Only food-related materials can be made into batteries. B. Potato batteries are more efficient than concrete batteries. C. Potatoes are the most commonly-used material for batteries. D. Materials that seem ordinary can be used for battery-making. 34. What is the feature of the new concrete battery? A. It can power a U.S. home for days. B. It produces large amps of electricity. C. It stores over 10 times more charge than before. D. It is as efficient as traditional batteries. 35. What does Byrne think of concrete batteries? A. They need more advancement. B. They require simple technology. C. They can beat modern batteries. D. They have a narrow application. 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。 A dictionary is a book which explains the meanings of words. The words are put in order. 36 The word “dictionary” comes from the Latin “dictio” (saying). 37 They include dictionaries which explain words and how they are used, dictionaries which translate words from one language into another, dictionaries of biography which tell about famous people, and so on. Dictionaries which explain what words mean will give a clear “definition” of a word. Good dictionaries will also give more information about the word. They will explain how it is pronounced. Usually the International Phonetic Alphabet(国际音标) is used for this. 38 This is not a problem for a word like “hippopotamus”, but a word like “put” has so many different meanings that a large dictionary may have a whole page or more to explain how it can be used. There are also dictionaries which translate words into foreign languages. When using a dictionary to find out how to say something in another language, one has to be careful to choose the right word. A word like “right” has two basic meanings in English: The first meaning is “correct”, and the second is “the opposite of left”. 39 They will have different words for these different meanings. 40 You may wonder why. That’s because new words are often brought into a language or words that may change their meanings. The most famous English Dictionary is the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). Words are always being added to the OED. A．You can buy all kinds of dictionaries. B．There are several types of dictionaries. C．In this way they can be found quickly. D．Words are never taken out of the OED. E．Dictionaries need to be renewed frequently. F．Also, they will explain how the word is used. G．However, other languages are not like English. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Art has a way of stealing into the cracks(裂缝) of our memories, preserving moments we might otherwise let fade. I learned this lesson years ago, when I spotted a dusty 41 in my grandmother’s room. It was a sunlit garden, with its edges(边缘) worn-out from time, but the colors still 42 . I’d never seen it before, but as I stared, something clicked. A flood of images 43 : sitting on that bench at age seven; my grandmother handing me a cup of lemonade; the 44 smell of roses hanging in the air. Until that moment, those memories had been 45 , like puzzle pieces I couldn’t quite fit together. My grandmother, noticing my gaze, smiled. “Your grandfather painted that,” she said. “He loved that garden, spent hours there, even when his hands shook too badly to 46 a brush.” I studied the brushstrokes — quick, as if he’d painted 47 , afraid the light might change before he caught it. She told me he’d painted it the year before he died, when his memory was already 48 . “He couldn’t always remember my name,” she said, “but he never forgot how the garden looked in the morning.” That painting, she explained, was his way of 49 what mattered, even as his mind slipped away. We often think of memory as a 50 — something we either have or lose. But art, I realized, is a bridge. It 51 moments into something we can hold when our minds fail us. The garden in the painting wasn’t just a place; it was a 52 of love, of presence, of a man trying to hold on. Now, when I glance at it, I don’t just see flowers. I see the 53 of two people, and the way art can 54 even the memories gradually dying down. It’s a reminder that some things — love, beauty, the way light falls — are worth 55 . And art, in its quiet way, ensures they never truly disappear. 41. A. painting B. photo C. model D. diary 42. A. unclear B. dark C. light D. bright 43.

Early Monday morning, George Healy, who has served the city for 34 years, was beginning an18-hour drive to Disney with his family. As they traveled along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, traffic came to a sudden stop, and Healy noticed there was a serious accident ahead. Realizing the signs of a fire, Healy went into action hurriedly. “I jumped out of the car and started running up the highway,” he said. Healy arrived at the site (现场) to find broken pieces here and there across the road. Two cars were so badly damaged (损坏). Luckily, someone had called 911. An ambulance (救护车) had arrived, and the doctors and nurses were hurrying to deal with the injured. Both drivers were seriously injured and they were taken to the ambulance for first aid. And more seriously, one car caught fire, and the fire was spreading quickly. The car was filling with smoke, and the fire was burning wildly almost in the whole car. The situation was getting worse. Even more unfortunately, there was a passenger in the back seat of the car, who was also seriously injured. He must be taken out as soon as possible. With the passenger door damaged so seriously and the fire burning everywhere, Healy quickly judged the bad situation and realized that the man was unconscious (无意识的) in the back seat. As the fire grew more dangerous, Healy, along with a police officer who had just arrived at the site, immediately took action to save the injured passenger. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The injured man was in danger of dying at any time. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Days later, the injured man phoned Healy to express his thanks after he became conscious. 英语答案 第一部分 听力 1-5 CBCAB 6-10 BAABA 11-15 CBABC 15-20 CACCA 第二部分 阅读 21-23 BDA 24-27 ACDD 28-31 CACD 32-35 BDCA 36-40 CBFGE 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 41-45 ADACB 46-50 CDBCA 51-55 DACBB 第二节： 56. which 57. a 58. to boil 59. from 60. that 61. completely 62. were impressed 63. what 64. making 65. improve 应用文范文 Dear Tom, Sorry to hear that you’re having a disagreement with your parents about joining the community volunteer association, I completely understand your frustration when your parents’ concern for your studies conflicts with your desire to contribute. However, I believe this is a common issue that can be resolved with some effective strategies. To begin with, why not have an open and calm conversation with your parents? Assure them that you plan to participate in volunteer work only during your free time, such as on weekends or during school breaks. You could even create a simple weekly schedule to show them how you’ll prioritize and manage your study time effectively. Moreover, you need to prove your responsibility through action. Make a conscious effort to maintain or even improve your grades after you start volunteering. This will demonstrate that you are capable of balancing both commitments. Most importantly, highlight the benefits of volunteering. Explain that it’s not just about giving back; it’s a valuable opportunity to develop soft skills like communication and teamwork, gain real-world experience, and make your college application stand out—all of which are beneficial for your future. I sincerely hope my suggestions will help you bridge the gap with your parents. I’m sure once they see your determination and well-thought-out plan, they will give you their full support. I’m looking forward to hearing your good news! Yours, Li Hua 读后续写范文 The injured man was in danger of dying at any time. Healy, without hesitation, broke the back window of the car with a tire iron he had in his own vehicle. Despite the intense heat and smoke, he managed to crawl into the burning car. With great difficulty, he unfastened the passenger’s seat belt and, with the help of the police officer, carefully pulled the unconscious man out of the vehicle. They quickly moved him to a safe distance from the fire, where paramedics (医护人员) could take over and provide emergency medical assistance. Healy’s quick thinking and brave actions undoubtedly saved the man’s life. Days later, the injured man phoned Healy to express his thanks after he became conscious. He tearfully shared how he had been trapped and feared for his life until Healy appeared like a guardian angel. The man’s family also reached out to Healy, expressing their deep gratitude. They invited Healy and his family to a special thank-you dinner, where they could personally show their appreciation. Healy, humbled by the experience, simply said, “I was just doing my job.” However, for the man and his family, Healy’s actions were nothing less than heroic, and they would forever be grateful for the off-duty firefighter who turned a vacation into a lifesaving mission. 续写文本分析： 情节线 开端：消防员乔治·希利在休假第一天，带着家人开始了计划已久的迪士尼之旅。 路上遭遇严重交通事故，导致交通堵塞。 发展：希利凭借专业素养，发现火情并立即奔赴现场。 现场一片狼藉，两车相撞，伤员正被救护人员转移。 核心冲突出现：其中一辆车突然起火，且后排有一名昏迷乘客被困，车门损坏，情况万分危急。 高潮：希利与一名警察联手施救。 他用工具砸碎车窗，不顾高温与浓烟，爬入车内。 他解开伤者的安全带，在警察的协助下，将其从火海中拖出。 回落：伤者被成功转移至安全区域，交由医护人员救治。 希利精疲力尽，但确认伤者已脱离险境。 结局：几天后，伤者恢复意识，亲自致电希利表达感激之情。 希利收到了其家庭的晚餐邀请，并从中再次深刻体会到自己职业的真正价值。 情感线 开端：轻松与期待 情感基调是愉快、放松和充满期待的，这是一场难得的家庭假期。 发展：紧张与责任 看到事故现场，职业本能让希利瞬间进入紧张和警惕状态。发现有人被困火海，情感迅速转变为沉重的责任感和紧迫感。 高潮：无畏与恐惧 在救援过程中，希利表现出专业、无畏和果断。 但同时，现场的危险（高温、浓烟、可能的爆炸）也带来了潜在的恐惧与压力，这份恐惧更反衬出他勇气的可贵。 回落：欣慰与希望 成功救出伤者后，情感转为宽慰、疲惫和充满希望。生命的得救带来了巨大的情感释放和职业成就感。 结局：感动与升华 接到感谢电话时，希利感到深深的感动和职业自豪感。 故事的情感基调最终升华，从一次意外的救援，回归到对生命价值、人间温情与职业使命的深刻认同上。 续写任务的主要情节梳理 根据原文结尾和两段续写首句，续写部分需要完成从“高潮”到“结局”的叙述。以下是续写部分需要完成的核心情节链： 续写第一段 （承接高潮，完成救援） 情节目标：描述如何将伤者从濒死境地中救出。 核心动作： ①评估与决策：快速判断无法通过车门，决定破窗。 ②实施救援：使用工具砸碎车窗；顶住高温和浓烟，进入车内；解开安全带；与警察协作将伤者拖出。 ③移交救治：将伤者移至安全地带，交由医护人员。 情感基调：千钧一发的紧迫感 → 克服困难的坚毅 → 成功后的疲惫与宽慰。 续写第二段 （呈现结局，升华主题） ①情节目标：交代伤者后续，并深化救援行动的情感意义。 核心动作： ②表达感谢：伤者苏醒后，亲自致电，表达劫后余生的感激。 ③家庭回应：伤者家人发出邀请，希望当面致谢。 主角感悟：希利感到一切的付出都是值得的，并升华对自身职责的理解（如：救人是本能，无关是否当值）。 情感基调：劫后余生的感激 → 真诚的感动 → 精神的满足与主题的升华。 听力 Text 1 M: The new book I’m writing is terrible.
