These programs, typically sponsored by the institution, are designed for students from minority backgrounds who may not be able to afford a visit to campus on their own.(Fly-in项目为未来的学生提供了一个亲身体验校园生活的独特机会。这些项目通常由机构赞助，旨在为那些可能无法自己负担参观校园费用的少数族裔背景的学生提供机会)”可知，Fly-in项目通常由机构赞助，主要目的是为那些可能无法自己负担参观校园费用的少数族裔背景的学生提供一个提前体验校园生活的机会。故B项“To offer students financial aid to experience campus life.(为学生提供经济援助以体验校园生活)”正确。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一张表格中“Submit before the deadline! (Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items.)(在截止日期前提交!最后一刻打包会导致忘记物品)”可知，建议申请者避免在最后一刻提交申请，以免遗漏重要信息或物品。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二张表格中“Columbia University; September 4-6, 2025，June 25(哥伦比亚大学；2025年9月4-6日，6月25日截止)”可知，适合申请9月初校园访问的时间应在6月25日截止日期之前，结合选项可知，A项“June 20-23(6月20-23日)”正确。故选A项。 B Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them. Trail of the Lost was her answer. It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey. The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search. Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations. The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT. Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek. 4. What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost? A. Her love for her prior career. B. Her strong attachment to the PCT. C. The stress from the missing families. D. Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance. 5. What is presented on the second level of the book? A. Efforts by different people in searches. B. A string of wilderness survival tips. C. Approaches to information classification. D. Respective stories of the three hikers. 6. What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures? A. To promote her book. B. To make her a celebrity. C. To motivate hikers to challenge themselves. D. To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT. 7. What can we say about the book? A. It targets single youth. B. It’s a romantic novel. C. It’s based on actual events. D. It’s a detailed account of a journey. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了安德里亚·兰克福德撰写的故事《迷失之路》的相关信息。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.”（她发现自己无法回避这三个独立的案件，尽管对它们的调查面临挑战。）和第二段“Trail of the Lost was her answer.(《迷失之路》就是她的答案)”可知，兰克福德写《迷失之路》的原因是她对徒步旅行者失踪案的调查。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them.”（在这三个徒步旅行者的故事背后，是每个人寻找他们的故事。）可知，作者除了在讲这三个徒步旅行者的故事，书的第二层还呈现了不同人在搜索中的努力。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.”（兰克福德徒步走过了整个阿巴拉契亚山道，是第一个骑山地车穿越800英里的亚利桑那山道的人，他知道PCT对身体和精神的要求是多么高。此外，这本书还探讨了美洲狮对不遵守PCT潜规则的不心怀之人的威胁，揭示了PCT众所周知的、隐藏的或被忽视的危险。）可知，提到兰克福德之前的冒险目的是强调攀登PCT的困难。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.”（她发现自己无法回避这三个独立的案件，尽管对它们的调查面临挑战。）和第四段“The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers.”（这是一部引人入胜的非虚构故事，讲述了三位徒步旅行者的生活，包括他们的生活以及寻找他们的人的生活。）可知，这本书是根据真实事件改编的。故选C项。 C Pride is often considered a negative force in human existence — the opposite of humility and a source of social conflicts. But is it? According to psychologist Jessica Tracy, pride can have many boons. She argues that pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be. Pride makes us feel good, and it’s an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way consistent with the values of our society. Tracy argues that those who regularly experience pride tend to be “outgoing, friendly, agreeable, calm and honest”, and “are generally communally oriented, meaning they place a high value on their relationships and friendships”. In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their communities. But that doesn’t mean that pride is all for the good. It has a dark side, too, when it leads to hubris. Hubris is pride that has been falsely assumed without merit in order to drive away an inner sense of insecurity. If individuals exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone who questions them, it’s a sign that pride has turned to hubris. Moreover, people having hubris are more likely to be prejudiced and less likely to show empathy. Can authentic pride lead to hubris? It depends, says Tracy. If you feel authentic pride and it inspires you to do good by your community’s standards, great. But if you start feeling the need to live up to others’ expectations and earn their admiration by cheating, chalices are you are leaning toward hubris. To avoid pride slipping toward hubris, Tracy warns people not to lose their heads over the positive regard they receive for their accomplishments. “When we start to receive the gains — be they increased status, fame, or fortune — it becomes exceedingly easy to forget that these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good person,” says Tracy. “We should always remind ourselves that these accomplishments are not our primary goals.” 8. What does the underlined word “boons” in paragraph 1 mean? A. benefits. B. limitations. C. forms. D. controversies. 9. Why can pride help people develop good moral characters? A. Pride can encourage people to work harder. B. Pride can make people value social recognition. C. Pride can give people a sense of responsibility. D. Pride can help people better control their emotions. 10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. To offer a solution to hubris. B. To describe specific behavior of hubris. C. To explain the motivation behind hubris. D. To stress the terrible consequences of hubris. 11. Which of the following can make authentic pride turn into hubris? A. Trying to win other people’s admiration. B. Lowering expectations for achievements. C. Failing to receive the well-deserved rewards. D. Regarding external rewards as the ultimate pursuit. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了自豪感的积极和消极影响，心理学家Jessica Tracy认为自豪感有其益处，但过度则会导致傲慢，并给出了避免自豪感滑向傲慢的建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“According to psychologist Jessica Tracy, pride can have many boons. She argues that pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be. (心理学家Jessica Tracy认为，自豪感能带来许多boons。她认为，自豪感和其他人类情感一样，是我们进化遗产的一部分，它激励我们成为最好的人，从而帮助我们在合作社会中生存和发展。)”可知，自豪感激励我们成为最好的人，有助于我们在社会中生存和发展，由此可推知，自豪感能带来许多益处，故划线词boons意思为“益处”，与benefits同义。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Pride makes us feel good, and it’s an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way consistent with the values of our society. Tracy argues that those who regularly experience pride tend to be “outgoing, friendly, agreeable, calm and honest”, and “are generally communally oriented, meaning they place a high value on their relationships and friendships”. In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their communities. (自豪感让我们感觉良好，这是我们行为符合社会价值观的一种表现。Tracy认为，那些经常感到自豪的人往往“外向、友好、和蔼、冷静和诚实”，并且“通常以社区为导向，这意味着他们非常重视自己的关系和友谊”。这样，拥有自豪感会让人们想要获得社区的认可和尊重。)”可知，自豪感能让我们行为符合社会价值观，让我们重视关系和友谊，从而想要获得认可和尊重，即自豪感能让我们重视社会认可，从而有助于我们培养良好的道德品质。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Hubris is pride that has been falsely assumed without merit in order to drive away an inner sense of insecurity. If individuals exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone who questions them, it’s a sign that pride has turned to hubris. (傲慢是一种没有根据而被错误地假设的自豪感，目的是为了驱除内心的不安全感。如果个人夸大自己的重要性，把别人的成就归功于自己，欺负别人，或者对任何质疑他们的人采取攻击行为，这都是自豪感变成傲慢的迹象。)”可知，第三段主要描述了傲慢的具体行为表现，如夸大自己的重要性、把别人的成就归功于自己、欺负别人、对质疑者采取攻击行为等。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But if you start feeling the need to live up to others’ expectations and earn their admiration by cheating, chalices are you are leaning toward hubris. (但如果你开始觉得有必要达到别人的期望，并通过欺骗来赢得他们的赞赏，那么你很可能正在走向傲慢)”和最后一段“To avoid pride slipping toward hubris, Tracy warns people not to lose their heads over the positive regard they receive for their accomplishments. “When we start to receive the gains — be they increased status, fame, or fortune — it becomes exceedingly easy to forget that these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good person,” says Tracy. “We should always remind ourselves that these accomplishments are not our primary goals.” (为了避免自豪感滑向傲慢，Tracy警告人们不要因为对成就的积极评价而冲昏头脑。Tracy说：“当我们开始获得收益时——无论是地位的提高、名声还是财富——我们很容易忘记这些结果是努力成为一个好人的间接后果。我们应该时刻提醒自己，这些成就不是我们的主要目标”)”可知，把外部奖励当作最终追求，即为了获得别人的赞赏和外部奖励而努力，可能会导致自豪感变成傲慢。故选D项。 D Surrounded by towering redwoods on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the coastal city of Santa Cruz, some 70 miles south of San Francisco, is a great place for a young person to experience nature. That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said. One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Most of us are aware that cows release methane, but wetlands are also a major source of the gas. Wetlands host a community of microbes (微生物), including Archaea, which generate methane as a byproduct when they consume and digest components of organic matter. These microbes grow in oxygen-free environments like wet soils, which typically occur in the wetlands’ deeper levels. However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat (泥炭) and soil near the surface. To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions. To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.The result is the creation of far more methane than expected. Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production. 12. What motivated Zhang to study environmental issues? A. Her childhood experiences. B. The adventure in nature. C. Her educational background. D. The pressure from fellows. 13. Why did Zhang analyze microbes in the wetland soil? A. To examine the condition of surface soil. B. To explore the impact of methane on microbes. C. To study the role of oxygen in methane production. D. To calculate the amount of methane released by cows. 14. How might the findings help reduce methane from wetlands? A. By changing soil structures. B. By introducing new microbes. C. By blocking harmful chemicals. D. By adjusting soil oxygen levels. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How Does Methane Affect Climate Change? B. What Drives Methane Production in Wetlands? C. What Is the Link Between Oxygen and Methane? D How Do Wetlands Contribute to Microbial Diversity? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地球科学助理教授张新宁（音译）对湿地甲烷产生原因的研究，包括氧气在甲烷产生过程中的作用等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said.(那就是地球科学和普林斯顿环境研究所助理教授张新宁度过童年的地方。她说：“在那里长大，你不由自主地就会去思考和关心环境问题。”)”可知，张新宁童年在圣克鲁兹这个地方成长，在那里的经历促使她思考和关心环境问题，所以是她的童年经历促使她研究环境问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions.(为了探究这一现象，张和她的团队分析了从美国东北部一个湿地采集的泥炭样本。一组样本接受了氧气处理，然后在无氧条件下进行培养。另一组样本在整个研究期间都处于无氧环境中。与预期相反，经过氧气处理的泥炭产生的甲烷量比持续无氧条件下的泥炭要多)”以及第四段“To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.(为了找出原因，研究人员分析了泥炭样本中发现的所有微生物。他们发现氧气刺激了一些微生物分解有害化学物质，否则这些化学物质会威胁到整个微生物群落，包括产生甲烷的古细菌)”可知，张分析湿地土壤中的微生物是为了探究氧气在甲烷产生过程中所起的作用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production.(张的研究表明，氧气的变化是控制湿地甲烷产生的重要因素。她的团队还在进一步探索不同时间长度的氧气变化，以及不同的土壤化学成分如何影响微生物产生甲烷)”可知，氧气的变化是控制湿地甲烷产生的重要因素，所以可以通过调整土壤的氧气水平来减少湿地甲烷的产生。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合首段中的“One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere.(张新宁正在探索的环境问题之一是：甲烷作为一种重要的温室气体，为何在大气中的含量正在增加)”和第二段中的“ However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat ( 泥炭) and soil near the surface.(然而，研究人员惊讶地发现，相当多的甲烷来自（湿地）地表附近富含氧气的泥炭和土壤)”以及下文中张新宁和她的团队为此所做的研究可知，文章主要讲述了张新宁对湿地产生甲烷的研究，包括湿地中微生物产生甲烷的过程以及氧气在其中的作用等，重点是探究是什么驱动了湿地中甲烷的产生，所以题目“是什么驱动了湿地中甲烷的产生”概括了文章的主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet wonder why we so frequently feel exhausted, distracted, or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? ______16______ Activities actually can be divided into different categories. Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices. Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. ______17______ One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures. ___18___ They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive. Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. _____19_____ Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. These activities can be harmless ways to relax. But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences. Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a Pleasing or Living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. ___20___ A. Try to change how you handle these activities. B. Living activities are the activities that stretch you. C. Think of the mindless scanning through social media. D. Unbearable activities are the things that leave you drained. E. The goal is to replace distracted moments with engaged ones. F. This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. G. These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了追求更充实生活的关键不在于“做更多事”，而在于“以不同的方式 做事”。 【16题详解】 空格前文提出问题“What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently?(倘若通往更充实生活的关键并非在于做更多的事情，而是在于采取不同的方式呢？)”以及后文将活动分为不同的类型。因此，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，既能承接“doing differently”的概念，又能引出下文对活动类型的分析。F选项“这一过程首先是要认识到并非所有的活动对我们产生的影响都是相同的”既回答了“如何做到不同”，又引出了下文的活动分类，符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello.(令人愉悦的活动往往不需要花费太多精力，却能带来丰厚的回报。你无需提前精心规划，也不需要占用整个下午的时间。这可以是一次在大自然中的漫步，听听你最喜欢的音乐，或者只是给朋友打个电话问候一下)”以及后文“One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures.(关于“乐趣”的最大误解在于，人们认为乐趣必须是某种重大的活动。但事实上，最能让人恢复精力的时刻往往来自于那些平凡的、日常的小享受之中)”可知，上文对令人愉悦的活动进行了说明，空格后文则是在总结这类活动的特点，G选项中的“These”指代前文的例子。故G选项“这些是简单而纯粹的快乐，不需要太多投入，却能带来实实在在的满足感”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive.(起初可能会觉得有些困难，但它们与你的价值观相符，能给你带来真正的意义感。这可能是学习一项新技能，它能让你走出舒适区。这类经历比那些让人愉悦的活动需要付出更多的努力，但它们往往能让我们感觉更加充满活力)”可知，本段论述的主要是成长型的活动。B选项“成长活动是那些让你延伸自我的活动”是对这类活动的定义，与后文内容相符。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction.(“消耗性活动”指的是那些所需付出的精力较少，但带来的满足感却很少的活动)”可知，空格前文定义“Yielding activities”并指出其特点。C选项给出例子“想想那些无意识地刷社交媒体”，它完全符合“低努力、低满足”的定义，并能与后文的“查看邮箱”例子并列。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ May got a new idea and she decided o have a talk with Mrs. Miller. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. Olivia’s face lit up with excitement. “That would be awesome!” she replied. The two girls started chatting animatedly about all the craft ideas they had, like making friendship bracelets and paper lanterns. As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day. When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts. May got a new idea and she decided to have a talk with Mrs. Miller. After lunch she made her way to Room 301 in Teaching Building B. She walked in nervously but when she saw Mrs. Miller’s warm smile, her courage grew. May explained her love for crafts and how she hoped to start a craft club. Mrs. Miller was delighted and said it was a wonderful idea. With Mrs. Miller’s support, May couldn't wait to tell Olivia and start their very own craft club, looking forward to making more friends who shared their passion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了刚从中国搬到新国家的May，在新学校第一天因手工中国龙“龙龙”丢失而焦虑，后被Olivia归还并结为好友，最终在Olivia的影响和Miller老师的支持下，决定创办手工俱乐部，逐渐适应新的学校生活的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““当然可以！放学后要不要在这里见？”May问道。”以及第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第一段可描写May和Olivia相谈甚欢，她突然有了个想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“May突然有了一个新想法，她决定去找Miller老师谈谈。”可知，第二段可描写May突然想到可以建议Miller老师创办一个手工俱乐部，而Miller也觉得这个想法很棒。 2.续写线索：May提出和Olivia放学后见面——两人见面后兴致勃勃聊起了手工——而两人交谈也给了May一个新的想法——于是，May决定和Miller老师谈谈，她建议Miller老师可以创办一个手工俱乐部——老师觉得这个主意不错——有了老师的支持，May迫不及待想和Olivia分享这个消息——May也对新的学校生活充满了期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①全神贯注于：be engrossed in/be lost in ②与某人谈话：have a talk with sb/ talk with sb ③前往、去某处：make one's way to/head for 情绪类 ①绝妙的：awesome/splendid/wonderful ②高兴的：delighted/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和省略关系代词that/which的定语从句修饰先行词a sense of ease） 【高分句型2】When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南航苏州附中2025-2026学年第一学期高三期中适应性练习 英 语 注意事项： 1. 本试卷满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，务必将姓名、考试号等相关信息写在答题卡上规定的地方。 3. 所有答案均写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them. Trail of the Lost was her answer It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey. The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search. Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations. The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.

C Pride is often considered a negative force in human existence — the opposite of humility and a source of social conflicts. But is it? According to psychologist Jessica Tracy, pride can have many boons. She argues that pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be. Pride makes us feel good, and it’s an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way consistent with the values of our society. Tracy argues that those who regularly experience pride tend to be “outgoing, friendly, agreeable, calm and honest”, and “are generally communally oriented, meaning they place a high value on their relationships and friendships”. In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their communities. But that doesn’t mean that pride is all for the good. It has a dark side, too, when it leads to hubris. Hubris is pride that has been falsely assumed without merit in order to drive away an inner sense of insecurity. If individuals exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone who questions them, it’s a sign that pride has turned to hubris. Moreover, people having hubris are more likely to be prejudiced and less likely to show empathy. Can authentic pride lead to hubris? It depends, says Tracy. If you feel authentic pride and it inspires you to do good by your community’s standards, great. But if you start feeling the need to live up to others’ expectations and earn their admiration by cheating, chalices are you are leaning toward hubris. To avoid pride slipping toward hubris, Tracy warns people not to lose their heads over the positive regard they receive for their accomplishments. “When we start to receive the gains — be they increased status, fame, or fortune — it becomes exceedingly easy to forget that these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good person,” says Tracy. “We should always remind ourselves that these accomplishments are not our primary goals.” 8. What does the underlined word “boons” in paragraph 1 mean? A. benefits. B. limitations. C. forms. D. controversies. 9. Why can pride help people develop good moral characters? A. Pride can encourage people to work harder. B. Pride can make people value social recognition. C. Pride can give people a sense of responsibility. D. Pride can help people better control their emotions. 10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. To offer a solution to hubris. B. To describe specific behavior of hubris. C. To explain the motivation behind hubris. D. To stress the terrible consequences of hubris. 11. Which of the following can make authentic pride turn into hubris? A. Trying to win other people’s admiration. B. Lowering expectations for achievements. C. Failing to receive the well-deserved rewards. D. Regarding external rewards as the ultimate pursuit. D Surrounded by towering redwoods on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the coastal city of Santa Cruz, some 70 miles south of San Francisco, is a great place for a young person to experience nature. That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said. One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Most of us are aware that cows release methane, but wetlands are also a major source of the gas. Wetlands host a community of microbes (微生物), including Archaea, which generate methane as a byproduct when they consume and digest components of organic matter. These microbes grow in oxygen-free environments like wet soils, which typically occur in the wetlands’ deeper levels. However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat (泥炭) and soil near the surface. To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions. To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.The result is the creation of far more methane than expected. Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production. 12. What motivated Zhang to study environmental issues? A Her childhood experiences. B. The adventure in nature. C. Her educational background. D. The pressure from fellows. 13. Why did Zhang analyze microbes in the wetland soil? A. To examine the condition of surface soil. B. To explore the impact of methane on microbes. C. To study the role of oxygen in methane production. D. To calculate the amount of methane released by cows. 14. How might the findings help reduce methane from wetlands? A. By changing soil structures. B. By introducing new microbes. C. By blocking harmful chemicals. D. By adjusting soil oxygen levels. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How Does Methane Affect Climate Change? B. What Drives Methane Production in Wetlands? C. What Is the Link Between Oxygen and Methane? D. How Do Wetlands Contribute to Microbial Diversity? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences.

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure! Want to meet here after school?” May asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ May got a new idea and she decided o have a talk with Mrs. Miller. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
