B Kristin Kimball, a travel writer, drove from her New York studio to Pennsylvania to interview a young farmer who was famous for exploring sustainable farming practices. When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it. “Instead,” Kimball remembers, “he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work.” “Yet when I started doing the work, I was shocked at how viscerally I responded. I think that in some way, human beings are born to be farmers. This is what most people in the history of the world have focused their energy on,” she adds. And something happened that day. Kimball just fell in love with the work. She’d never farmed before, so when she decided to move from Manhattan to Essex Farm, she had no idea what she was getting into. Seven years after her life-changing experience, Kimball has documented her adjustment to the rural living in her new book, The Dirty Life. The title of her book, Kimball says, comes from the fact that farm work is consistently dirty. Farming is often idealized by city folks, and there is some romance to be found in the farm Kimball describes, but there’s also back-breaking work and the hard-earned satisfaction that comes with it. The first year she planted potatoes, the yield was enormous — around 10,000 pounds. “Friends were called to help. It was truly fall,” Kimball writes: The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in the field, and served them steaming. If there is a more perfect way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence (本质), I have not discovered it yet. 24. Which of the following can best describe Kimball’s path to farming? A. Well-planned. B. Market-oriented. C. Curiosity-driven. D. Unexpectedly-taken. 25. What does the underlined word “viscerally” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Naturally. B. Patiently. C. Passively. D. Hesitantly. 26. Why did Kimball write The Dirty Life? A. To share the joy of harvest. B. To promote the benefits of farming. C To record her adaptation to farm life. D. To introduce the farming skills she learned. 27. What does Kimball intend to express in the last paragraph? A. The happiness in cooking potatoes. B. The satisfaction gained from farm life. C. The significance of teamwork in farming. D. The challenges of farming at harvest time. C A landmark study by the Dutch government has found that banning smartphones in secondary school classrooms has significantly improved student concentration and engagement. Carried out nationwide in January 2024, the policy aimed to address growing concerns about digital distractions in academic settings. The study evaluated over 120 schools across the Netherlands, measuring student behavior and academic performance before and after the ban. Results indicated a marked improvement in attention, classroom interaction, and overall learning environments. Teachers reported fewer interruptions, stronger participation, and more effective teaching conditions. The research highlights the growing need to re-evaluate how digital devices affect teen learning. As students adjusted to phone-free classrooms, many reported finding it easier to concentrate during lessons—a key goal of the nationwide measure. While individual schools used varying methods— from complete bans to restricted use during specific hours— the results were consistently positive. The uniformity of the nationwide policy allowed researchers to collect solid comparative data. As is highlighted, many schools observed immediate behavioral improvements, with students becoming more engaged and less anxious. Parents also noted benefits beyond the classroom, including reduced screen dependency, better sleep patterns, and improved communication at home. State Secretary for Education Marielle Paul called the findings “encouraging”, stating that the policy “strengthens both academic outcomes and mental well-being.” The Dutch policy is now being closely examined by educators and lawmakers across Europe. Countries like Belgium and Germany are now reviewing the study as they explore similar measures to address digital distraction in schools. The Netherlands’ experience feeds into a growing international conversation about the role of technology in education. Critics (评论家) have long debated whether digital devices support or harm student learning. While educational technology can be beneficial, this study reveals the substantial impact of limiting non-essential screen time during lessons. Policymakers worldwide are now weighing findings from the Dutch smartphone ban against their own educational challenges. The ban illustrates a practical approach: safeguarding learning environments without fully rejecting digital innovation. 28. How does the author introduce the issue in the first paragraph? A. By presenting a study result. B. By listing global statistics. C. By quoting an official’s words. D. By showing a worrying problem. 29. What determined the reliability of the Dutch research data? A. Applying the same approach. B. Random selection of top schools. C. The variation of collection methods. D. A uniform nationwide regulation. 30. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Belgium and Germany in paragraph 6? A. The difficulty of making policy. B. The popularity of the Dutch model. C. The severity of digital distraction. D. The importance of smartphone ban. 31. What advice does the author mainly try to offer in the text? A Promoting digital innovation. B. Banning smartphones strictly. C. Improving learning environment. D. Using technology wisely. D Given the popularity of inexpensive food that promotes overeating, it makes sense that we try to guard against “cheap and unhealthy” food in an effort to be healthy. But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too. According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the study’s researchers found that a high-price tag will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. “It’s concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can affect our understanding of what is healthy,” Rebecca Reczek, a co-author of the study, said in a statement. According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief that eating healthy food means spending more money. And sometimes that’s the truth: Organic products, wild-caught seafood and food that accommodates chronic (慢性的) diseases, all typically cost more money. But other times, the nutritional value of food ranks all the same. In one experiment, Reczek gave participants a new food product. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Others were told the product had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the product was good for them rated the food as pricier (更高价的) than those who thought it was unhealthy. And here’s what usually happened: People tended to read more reviews about the product when it was offered at a lower price in order to trust that it was healthy. The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against us. “We don’t have to be misled,” Reczek said. “We can compare nutrition labels and do more research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉).” 32. Which of the following statements reflects the author’s opinion? A. People’s health awareness needs improving. B. The cheaper food is, the less people will eat. C. The price of food can’t reflect its health degree. D. It is wrong of people to seek health at all costs. 33. Which of the following food is often regarded as more expensive? A. Farmed seafood. B. Organic food. C. Wild mushrooms. D. Fresh vegetables. 34. What does Reczek suggest we do in the last paragraph? A. Ignore nutrition labels. B. Believe intuition. C. Compare the price tag. D. Shop smartly. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. How to eat cheaply and healthily? B. Don’t be misled by price tags any more. C People falsely believe pricier food is healthier. D. What influences our choices when we buy food? 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。 Should I go for a bar of snickers (士力架) or a piece of cheese cake? Do I paint my room pink or use wallpaper instead? Is it better to take up volleyball or swimming? ___36___ When you’re able to reach decisions accept and learn from your choices. This can give you a sense of calmness. Treat decisions differently Some decisions, like what to order when you go out to eat, aren’t very serious, but others can have consequences for your health, schoolwork or relationships. ___37___ On the contrary, making random decisions on crucial matters can make you bury your head in the sand.

Anita Holland, an expert, says following your true feelings and listening to your heart can also work. “Try to catch your first thought before your mind gets confused,” she says. ___39___ However, you should be careful about choices that are made only to please somebody else. What if I regret my choice? Many people worry about making the “wrong” decision, especially if they feel disappointed by how things turn out. ___40___ If the one you choose leads to a disappointing experience, try reflecting on it and think about whether you would make a different decision in the future. A. Other people’s feelings can be considered, too. B. You must think twice before you decide to make it. C. It is not necessary to take unimportant decisions too seriously. D. It is easy to make a wrong decision, especially under pressure. E. For difficult decisions, it can be helpful to break down your thinking. F. People make choices every day, which causes tension and feelings of uncertainty. G.

Some salty biscuits and a flavoring box sat innocently nearby. I had never eaten an oyster. I loved seafood, though. I’d never had any seafood or fish that I didn’t like, and I love to try new things. But the sight of that slimy, shapeless thing… Ugh. I just couldn’t do it. My dearest aunt kindly encouraged me to have a try. Cautiously, I stuck one with a tiny fork and lifted it onto the salty biscuit in my left hand. There! That was something at least. I’d put the thing onto a biscuit. I moved the biscuit to my right hand and brought it close to my mouth. It smelled salty. “Do I bite into it or just put the whole thing into my mouth? How do you do this?” I asked. Everyone else was just busy enjoying every mouthful while they jokingly made fun of me for not trying them. I’m not a person who gives in easily. Why was this so hard? The wheels in my head began to turn. The average female in the United States lives approximately seventy-eight years or just over 683,000 hours. And, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Since life is a one-way journey, we should treasure every chance to engage with new experiences. I wasted one of those flying hours trying to prepare myself to try or do something new. Now, having an oyster was a new start. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stared at the biscuit with that oyster in my hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The oyster incident has changed how I view so many things. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三仿真模拟考试（一） 英语试题 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What worries the man about the woman?

In the morning, you can start on a guided nature walk through the meadows (草地).(第二天，你可以选择参加不同的活动。上午，你可以参加一次有导游带领的在草地上的自然探索之旅)”以及下文介绍的下午可以进行的活动“For those who prefer more active pursuits, there are open areas where you can play frisbee (飞盘) or have a picnic.(对于那些喜欢更活跃活动的人来说，这里有开阔的场地，你可以在此玩飞盘或者举行野餐)”可知，游客在神秘谷的第二天可以进行亲近自然的散步，还能玩飞盘。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中的“Forest Cabins, 4-day, $350.(森林小屋，四日游，费用350美元)”以及表格上方的“A 30% discount is available for students and seniors.(学生和老年人可享受30%的折扣)”可知，两名学生住4天森林小屋的费用为350×2×(70%)=490美元。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了神秘谷的旅游套餐，最后还提到“Click here to book your dream vacation(点击此处预订你的梦幻之旅)”可推知，本文最可能来自一个旅游网站。故选C。 B Kristin Kimball, a travel writer, drove from her New York studio to Pennsylvania to interview a young farmer who was famous for exploring sustainable farming practices. When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it. “Instead,” Kimball remembers, “he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work.” “Yet when I started doing the work, I was shocked at how viscerally I responded. I think that in some way, human beings are born to be farmers. This is what most people in the history of the world have focused their energy on,” she adds. And something happened that day. Kimball just fell in love with the work. She’d never farmed before, so when she decided to move from Manhattan to Essex Farm, she had no idea what she was getting into. Seven years after her life-changing experience, Kimball has documented her adjustment to the rural living in her new book, The Dirty Life. The title of her book, Kimball says, comes from the fact that farm work is consistently dirty. Farming is often idealized by city folks, and there is some romance to be found in the farm Kimball describes, but there’s also back-breaking work and the hard-earned satisfaction that comes with it. The first year she planted potatoes, the yield was enormous — around 10,000 pounds. “Friends were called to help. It was truly fall,” Kimball writes: The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in the field, and served them steaming. If there is a more perfect way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence (本质), I have not discovered it yet. 24. Which of the following can best describe Kimball’s path to farming? A. Well-planned. B. Market-oriented. C. Curiosity-driven. D. Unexpectedly-taken. 25. What does the underlined word “viscerally” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Naturally. B. Patiently. C. Passively. D. Hesitantly. 26. Why did Kimball write The Dirty Life? A. To share the joy of harvest. B. To promote the benefits of farming. C. To record her adaptation to farm life. D. To introduce the farming skills she learned. 27. What does Kimball intend to express in the last paragraph? A. The happiness in cooking potatoes. B. The satisfaction gained from farm life. C. The significance of teamwork in farming. D. The challenges of farming at harvest time. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述旅行作家Kristin Kimball意外投身农耕并记录乡村生活适应过程的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段 “When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it. “Instead,” Kimball remembers, “he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work.” (当她到达农场时，农场主说他太忙了，没有时间接受采访，尽管他们之前已经安排好了。“相反，”Kimball回忆说，“他递给我一个园艺工具，说,‘这是菜地。’那是我第一次真正干农活。”)”以及第三段 “Kimball just fell in love with the work. She’d never farmed before, so when she decided to move from Manhattan to Essex Farm, she had no idea what she was getting into. (Kimball就这样爱上了这份工作。她以前从未种过地，所以当她决定从曼哈顿搬到埃塞克斯农场时，根本不知道自己将要面对什么。)”可知，Kimball的务农之路并非刻意规划，而是意外开启的，故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第二段划线词后文 “I think that in some way, human beings are born to be farmers. (我认为在某种程度上，人类天生就是农民。)”可知，她觉得从事农活是人类与生俱来的本能，因此当她开始做这项工作时，会对自己自然的反应感到震惊。“viscerally”应表示“自然地”，与“born to be”（天生注定）语义呼应，故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段 “Seven years after her life-changing, Kimball has documented her adjustment to the rural living in her new book, The Dirty Life. (在这次改变人生的经历七年后，Kimball在她的新书《泥泞人生》中记录了自己对乡村生活的适应过程。)”可知，Kimball写这本书是为了记录自己适应农场生活的经历，故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段 “The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in the field, and served them steaming. If there is a more perfect way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence, I have not discovered it yet. (尽管阳光明媚，中午的空气还是很冷。我们在地里连皮煮土豆，热气腾腾地端上来。如果说有一种更完美的方式来赞美马铃薯的土质和滋养性精华的话，那我尚未发现。)”及倒数第二段“Farming is often idealized by city folks, and there is some romance to be found in the farm Kimball describes, but there’s also back-breaking work and the hard-earned satisfaction that comes with it. (城里人常常把务农理想化，在Kimball描述的农场里可以找到一些浪漫，但也有艰苦的工作和来之不易的满足感。)”可知，最后一段Kimball通过描述在地里煮土豆吃的场景，想要表达的是从农场生活中获得的满足感，故选B。 C A landmark study by the Dutch government has found that banning smartphones in secondary school classrooms has significantly improved student concentration and engagement. Carried out nationwide in January 2024, the policy aimed to address growing concerns about digital distractions in academic settings. The study evaluated over 120 schools across the Netherlands, measuring student behavior and academic performance before and after the ban. Results indicated a marked improvement in attention, classroom interaction, and overall learning environments. Teachers reported fewer interruptions, stronger participation, and more effective teaching conditions. The research highlights the growing need to re-evaluate how digital devices affect teen learning. As students adjusted to phone-free classrooms, many reported finding it easier to concentrate during lessons—a key goal of the nationwide measure. While individual schools used varying methods— from complete bans to restricted use during specific hours— the results were consistently positive. The uniformity of the nationwide policy allowed researchers to collect solid comparative data. As is highlighted, many schools observed immediate behavioral improvements, with students becoming more engaged and less anxious. Parents also noted benefits beyond the classroom, including reduced screen dependency, better sleep patterns, and improved communication at home. State Secretary for Education Marielle Paul called the findings “encouraging”, stating that the policy “strengthens both academic outcomes and mental well-being.” The Dutch policy is now being closely examined by educators and lawmakers across Europe. Countries like Belgium and Germany are now reviewing the study as they explore similar measures to address digital distraction in schools. The Netherlands’ experience feeds into a growing international conversation about the role of technology in education. Critics (评论家) have long debated whether digital devices support or harm student learning. While educational technology can be beneficial, this study reveals the substantial impact of limiting non-essential screen time during lessons. Policymakers worldwide are now weighing findings from the Dutch smartphone ban against their own educational challenges. The ban illustrates a practical approach: safeguarding learning environments without fully rejecting digital innovation. 28. How does the author introduce the issue in the first paragraph? A. By presenting a study result. B. By listing global statistics. C. By quoting an official’s words. D. By showing a worrying problem. 29. What determined the reliability of the Dutch research data? A. Applying the same approach. B. Random selection of top schools. C. The variation of collection methods. D. A uniform nationwide regulation. 30. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Belgium and Germany in paragraph 6? A. The difficulty of making policy. B. The popularity of the Dutch model. C. The severity of digital distraction. D. The importance of smartphone ban. 31. What advice does the author mainly try to offer in the text? A. Promoting digital innovation. B. Banning smartphones strictly. C. Improving learning environment. D. Using technology wisely. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。荷兰自2024年起规定全国中学课堂禁用手机，最近政府研究证实此举显著提升了学生的专注力，课堂互动性及心理健康，欧洲多国正借鉴其经验，探索限制数字分心的可行路径。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A landmark study by the Dutch government has found that banning smartphones in secondary school classrooms has significantly improved student concentration and engagement.(荷兰政府的一项具有里程碑意义的研究发现，在中学教室里禁止使用智能手机显著提高了学生的注意力和参与度。)”可知，作者在第一段通过呈现一项研究结果来引入话题，即荷兰政府研究发现中学教室禁止使用智能手机能显著提升学生的注意力和参与度。选项A“By presenting a study result.(通过呈现一项研究结果)”符合题意。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The uniformity of the nationwide policy allowed researchers to collect solid comparative data.(全国政策的统一性使研究人员能够收集到可靠的对比数据。)”可知，全国政策的统一性使得研究人员能够收集到可靠的对比数据，从而确定了荷兰研究数据的可靠性。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“The Dutch policy is now being closely examined by educators and lawmakers across Europe. Countries like Belgium and Germany are now reviewing the study as they explore similar measures to address digital distraction in schools.(荷兰的政策目前正受到欧洲各地教育工作者和立法者的密切关注。比利时和德国等国家目前正在审查这项研究，因为他们正在探索类似的措施来解决学校里的数字干扰问题。)”可知，作者提到比利时和德国正在审查荷兰的研究，并探索类似的措施来解决学校里的数字干扰问题，这表明荷兰的模式受到了其他国家的关注和认可，具有普及性。选项B“The popularity of the Dutch model.(荷兰模式的普及性)”符合题意。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Policymakers worldwide are now weighing findings from the Dutch smartphone ban against their own educational challenges. The ban illustrates a practical approach: safeguarding learning environments without fully rejecting digital innovation.(世界各地的政策制定者现在正在权衡荷兰智能手机禁令的结果与他们自己的教育挑战。这项禁令展示了一种实用的方法：保护学习环境，同时不完全拒绝数字创新。)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过介绍荷兰禁止在中学教室使用智能手机的研究及其影响，试图传达的主要建议是明智地使用技术，即在保护学习环境的同时不完全拒绝数字创新。选项D“Using technology wisely.(明智地使用技术)”符合题意。故选D项。 D Given the popularity of inexpensive food that promotes overeating, it makes sense that we try to guard against “cheap and unhealthy” food in an effort to be healthy. But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too. According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the study’s researchers found that a high-price tag will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. “It’s concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can affect our understanding of what is healthy,” Rebecca Reczek, a co-author of the study, said in a statement. According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief that eating healthy food means spending more money. And sometimes that’s the truth: Organic products, wild-caught seafood and food that accommodates chronic (慢性的) diseases, all typically cost more money. But other times, the nutritional value of food ranks all the same. In one experiment, Reczek gave participants a new food product. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Others were told the product had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the product was good for them rated the food as pricier (更高价的) than those who thought it was unhealthy. And here’s what usually happened: People tended to read more reviews about the product when it was offered at a lower price in order to trust that it was healthy. The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against us. “We don’t have to be misled,” Reczek said. “We can compare nutrition labels and do more research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉).” 32. Which of the following statements reflects the author’s opinion? A. People’s health awareness needs improving. B. The cheaper food is, the less people will eat. C. The price of food can’t reflect its health degree. D. It is wrong of people to seek health at all costs. 33. Which of the following food is often regarded as more expensive? A. Farmed seafood. B. Organic food. C. Wild mushrooms. D. Fresh vegetables. 34. What does Reczek suggest we do in the last paragraph? A. Ignore nutrition labels. B. Believe intuition. C. Compare the price tag. D. Shop smartly. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. How to eat cheaply and healthily? B. Don’t be misled by price tags any more. C. People falsely believe pricier food is healthier. D. What influences our choices when we buy food? 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出很多人认为健康食品一定更贵，价格会影响人们对食物健康程度的判断，作者通过实验解释这一现象，并建议人们理性购物。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too.(但我们或许做得过头了，忘记了“价格低廉且健康”的食品也是存在的)”以及第二段“In fact, the study’s researchers found that a high-price tag will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful.(事实上，该研究的研究人员发现，高昂的价格甚至会让消费者认为某种食品是健康的)”可知，作者认为食物价格与食物健康没有必然联系，言外之意是食物价格并不能反映其健康程度。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And sometimes that’s the truth: Organic products, wild-caught seafood and food that accommodates chronic (慢性的) diseases, all typically cost more money.(有时情况确实如此：有机食品、野生捕捞的海鲜以及适合慢性病患者的食品，通常价格都更高)”可知，有机食品通常被认为是更贵的食物。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We don’t have to be misled,” Reczek said. “We can compare nutrition labels and do more research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition (直觉).”(雷切克说：“我们不必被误导。在去超市购物之前，我们可以对照营养标签并进行更多研究。我们可以依据事实而非凭直觉来做决定。”)”可知，Reczek建议我们购物时要依据事实而不是直觉，要理性、明智，即聪明地购物。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the study’s researchers found that a high-price tag will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful.(根据最近的一项研究，许多人认为健康食品必然要比不健康食品贵，而且他们认为健康食品只需保持高价即可。事实上，该研究的研究人员发现，高昂的价格甚至会让消费者认为某种食品是健康的)”可知，本文主要论述了人们错误地认为价格更高的食物更健康这一现象。故 C项“人们错误地认为价格较高的食物更健康”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C。 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。 Should I go for a bar of snickers (士力架) or a piece of cheese cake?

This can give you a sense of calmness. Treat decisions differently Some decisions, like what to order when you go out to eat, aren’t very serious, but others can have consequences for your health, schoolwork or relationships. ___37___ On the contrary, making random decisions on crucial matters can make you bury your head in the sand. Try to stop taking everything so seriously and witness the difference that makes in your life. Make tough decisions ___38___ You could start by listing the different options, then weighing up the positives and negatives of each one. Anita Holland, an expert, says following your true feelings and listening to your heart can also work. “Try to catch your first thought before your mind gets confused,” she says. ___39___ However, you should be careful about choices that are made only to please somebody else. What if I regret my choice? Many people worry about making the “wrong” decision, especially if they feel disappointed by how things turn out. ___40___ If the one you choose leads to a disappointing experience, try reflecting on it and think about whether you would make a different decision in the future. A. Other people’s feelings can be considered, too. B. You must think twice before you decide to make it. C. It is not necessary to take unimportant decisions too seriously. D. It is easy to make a wrong decision, especially under pressure. E. For difficult decisions, it can be helpful to break down your thinking. F. People make choices every day, which causes tension and feelings of uncertainty. G. Indeed, there is not always a reasonable choice but different paths lead to distinct experiences. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. E 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提出日常选择问题，讨论了如何做出决策。作者建议将决定区分对待，不重要的决定不必过于严肃，并对困难决定进行分解思考。文章还强调要从选择中学习，并对可能产生的后悔情绪进行反思，以培养决策的信心。 【36题详解】 上文“Should I go for a bar of snickers (士力架) or a piece of cheese cake? Do I paint my room pink or use wall paper instead? Is it better to take up volleyball or swimming? (我该选择一块士力架还是吃一块芝士蛋糕呢？是把房间刷成粉色还是用壁纸来装饰呢？是选择打排球还是游泳呢？)”通过三个日常选择的例子，如选择士力架还是芝士蛋糕、粉刷房间还是贴墙纸、打排球还是游泳，引出了人们在日常生活中经常需要做选择的情境。F选项“People make choices every day, which causes tension and feeling of uncertainty.(人们每天都在做选择，这会导致紧张和不确定感。)”直接承接上文，进一步阐述了人们每天面临选择时可能产生的心理状态，即紧张和不确定感，与后文提到的“When you’re able to reach decisions, accept and learn from your choices. This can give you a sense of calmness.(当你能够做出决定、接受并从选择中学习时，这会给你一种平静的感觉)”形成对比，强调了做出决定的重要性。故选F。 【37题详解】 上文提到“Some decisions, like what to order when you go out to eat, aren’t very serious, but others can have consequences for your health, schoolwork or relationships.(有些决定，比如出去吃饭点什么，并不是很严重，但有些决定可能会对你的健康、学业或人际关系产生影响。)”说明了决策的轻重之分。C选项“It is not necessary to take unimportant decisions too seriously.(没有必要把不重要的决定看得太认真。)”与上文中的“aren’t very serious”相呼应，进一步强调了对于不重要的决定不必过于认真，与后文提到的“On the contrary, making random decisions on crucial matters can make you bury your head in the sand. (相反，在重要的事情上随意做决定可能会让你逃避现实)”形成对比，突出了正确对待不同重要性的决策的重要性。故选C。 【38题详解】 下文提到“You could start by listing the different options, then weighing up the positives and negatives of each one.(你可以先列出不同的选择，然后权衡每个选择的利弊。)”这是一种处理困难决策的方法。E选项“For difficult decisions, it can be helpful to break down your thinking.(对于困难的决定，分解你的思考可能是有帮助的。)”直接引出了下文要讨论的内容，即如何处理困难的决策，通过分解思考来帮助做出决定。故选E。 【39题详解】 上文Anita Holland提到“Try to catch your first thought before your mind gets confused.(在你的头脑变得混乱之前，试着抓住你的第一个想法。)”这是关于听从自己内心感受的建议。A选项“Other people’s feelings can be considered, too.(也可以考虑别人的感受。)”在听从自己内心感受的基础上，进一步提出了考虑他人感受的建议，使决策过程更加全面和周到。同时，下文也提到了“However, you should be careful about choices that are made only to please somebody else.(然而，你应该小心那些只是为了取悦别人而做出的选择。)”强调了在做决策时不能仅仅为了取悦他人而忽略了自己的真实感受，与设空处构成转折关系，符合题意。故选A。 【40题详解】 上文提到“Many people worry about making the “wrong” decision, especially if they feel disappointed by how things turn out.(许多人担心做出“错误”的决定，尤其是当他们对事情的结果感到失望时。)”说明了人们在做决策时可能会产生的担忧。G选项“Indeed, there is not always a reasonable choice but different paths lead to distinct experiences.(事实上，并不总是有一个合理的选择，不同的道路会导致不同的经历。)”进一步阐述了决策的复杂性和多样性，不同的选择会带来不同的经历和结果，由此引发许多人的担忧。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had spent the previous decade working ___41___ toward my goal of becoming a professor.

The immersive experience of standing before an ancient artifact or masterpiece is irreplaceable. Firstly, physical museums engage multiple senses — seeing textures up close, hearing guided explanations, and even smelling aged materials. Secondly, they provide social interaction, allowing visitors to discuss exhibition with others, enhancing understanding. Finally, historic buildings themselves, like the Louvre, are cultural treasures that virtual tours cannot replicate. In conclusion, virtual museums are valuable supplements, but the authenticity and atmosphere of physical museums remain unmatched. Both should coexist to cater to different needs. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇开放性作文。5月18日是国际博物馆日，某国外论坛上有网友提议用线上虚拟博物馆 (virtual museum)取代实体博物馆 (physical museum)。请考生写一篇留言，表达个人看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 取代，替代：replace→substitute 首先：firstly→to start with 复制：replicate→duplicate 迎合，满足：cater to→meet the needs of 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Secondly, they provide social interaction, allowing visitors to discuss exhibition with others, enhancing understanding. 拓展句：Secondly, they provide social interaction, which can allow visitors to discuss exhibition with others and enhance understanding. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】 While virtual museums offer convenience and global access, I believe they cannot fully replace physical museums.（运用了While引导的让步状语从句和省略that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】Finally, historic buildings themselves, like the Louvre, are cultural treasures that virtual tours cannot replicate.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 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。 Sitting at the bar overlooking my aunt’s kitchen, I nervously eyed the slimy (黏滑的), gray oyster (牡蛎) staring at me in the face. Some salty biscuits and a flavoring box sat innocently nearby. I had never eaten an oyster. I loved seafood, though. I’d never had any seafood or fish that I didn’t like, and I love to try new things. But the sight of that slimy, shapeless thing… Ugh. I just couldn’t do it. My dearest aunt kindly encouraged me to have a try. Cautiously, I stuck one with a tiny fork and lifted it onto the salty biscuit in my left hand. There! That was something at least. I’d put the thing onto a biscuit. I moved the biscuit to my right hand and brought it close to my mouth. It smelled salty. “Do I bite into it or just put the whole thing into my mouth? How do you do this?” I asked. Everyone else was just busy enjoying every mouthful while they jokingly made fun of me for not trying them. I’m not a person who gives in easily. Why was this so hard? The wheels in my head began to turn. The average female in the United States lives approximately seventy-eight years or just over 683,000 hours. And, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Since life is a one-way journey, we should treasure every chance to engage with new experiences. I wasted one of those flying hours trying to prepare myself to try or do something new. Now, having an oyster was a new start. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stared at the biscuit with that oyster in my hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The oyster incident has changed how I view so many things. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I stared at the biscuit with that oyster in my hand. My heart raced, but I took a deep breath, recalling the fleeting nature of time. I did a mental “1… 2… 2½… 2¾… 3!” and popped the whole thing into my mouth. At first, its slimy texture made me wrinkle my nose, but as I chewed, a rich, salty flavor exploded on my taste buds. A mix of surprise and delight washed over me. “Oh, man!” I exclaimed, “It is the most delicious thing that I have ever had.” My aunt and the others cheered, and I realized I had overcome my strange fear. The oyster incident has changed how I view so many things. This time, it was an oyster, but there have been too many times I’ve let that happen in my life — waiting too long to try or do something. And then, once done, it was not terrible but something I really enjoyed so much! What fun I could have had if only I’d been brave enough to try things sooner! When something comes along that pushes me outside my comfort zone and I’m feeling hesitant, I will remember that day. It helps give me the push I need to get out of my shell. When opportunity knocks, now I will say, “Eat the oyster!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者尝试吃牡蛎的经历为线索，讲述作者面对从未吃过的黏滑牡蛎时的犹豫与紧张，在姑姑鼓励和对生命短暂的思考下，最终克服恐惧尝试并爱上牡蛎，这次经历还改变了作者看待事物的方式，让作者明白要勇敢走出舒适区、把握机会的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我手里拿着那块嵌着牡蛎的饼干，怔怔地盯着它。”可知，第一段可描写作者盯着手中的牡蛎饼干，内心挣扎后决定尝试的感受以及最终在姑姑和众人的欢呼中克服了恐惧。 ②由第二段首句内容“那次牡蛎事件改变了我看待很多事物的方式。” 可知，第二段可描写吃牡蛎的事件让作者反思过去因犹豫错过的机会，意识到尝试新事物的乐趣等感悟。 2. 续写线索：盯着牡蛎饼干——内心挣扎后尝试——口感与味觉体验——众人欢呼克服恐惧——事件带来观念改变——反思过去错过的机会——面对挑战时的激励— 领悟要把握机遇 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①放入口中：pop into one’s mouth /put into one’s mouth ②克服：overcome /conquer ③推断，促使：pushes/drive/force 情绪类： ①惊喜：surprise /amazement ②犹豫：hesitant/doubtful/ uncertain 【点睛】[高分句型1] At first, its slimy texture made me wrinkle my nose, but as I chewed, a rich, salty flavor exploded on my taste buds.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] And then, once done, it was not terrible but something I really enjoyed so much!（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句修饰先行词something） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一部分听力做题时先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。第一节听下面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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。Text one well, Emily, we know you're all grown up, but it's hard not to worry when you're planning to live alone in the city.
