Professional aurora viewing tours provide education about this natural phenomenon while maximizing viewing opportunities in the dark skies.(育空地区为家庭游客提供了大自然中最壮观的景象之一——北极光。专业的极光观赏之旅不仅能向游客介绍这一自然现象，还能在漆黑的夜空中最大限度地增加观赏机会)”可知，家庭成员可在Yukon Territory观赏北极光，而Sylvia家中，其丈夫热衷于天文学，符合文章信息。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Coastal giants: Whale watching in Nova Scotia部分“Book a whale watching tour departing from Halifax in the afternoon when sea conditions are typically calmer.(预订一次从哈利法克斯出发的观鲸之旅，时间选在下午较为平静的海况时段)”可知，前往Nova Scotia观赏鲸鱼需要B项“预订观赏旅途”。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From coast to coast, this remarkable country provides experiences that stir up children’s imaginations while creating lasting memories for the entire family.(从东海岸到西海岸，这个非凡的国度能够提供激发孩子们想象力的体验，同时也能让整个家庭留下永恒的回忆)”以及文章主要介绍了加拿大家庭奇遇之旅的几个目的地和相关信息。可知，文章可能节选自网站的旅游板块。故选A。 B My tenth-grade chemistry teacher could tell that I wasn’t the next Mendeleev. Early in the year, he gave us tough exams, warning that students who struggled should reconsider staying in the advanced-level class. I’d never excelled in science, so I determined that if I could not get an A on the next assignment, I would drop down a level. Before returning the assignment, he asked if anyone was taking the new Chinese class. I raised my hand hesitantly. I got an A on the assignment, and my chemistry teacher had written what looked like two Chinese characters on the label of the folder. When I asked him what they meant, he explained they formed the Chinese characters for “chemistry”. He used to tell us, with a twinkle in his eye, that chemistry was the most important subject, followed by math, with the humanities (such as history, literature, and philosophy) coming last. However, he sometimes brought Chinese trinkets (小件饰物) and showed us videos about Chinese culture. It seemed that in practice, he didn’t follow his own ranking system. My father, an engineer, viewed math and sciences as superior to the humanities, which made me decide to prove that the humanities were better. My chemistry teacher, though paying lip service to the same ideas as my father, freely mixed cultural studies, literature recommendations, and family tips into our classes. He also invited teachers from China to tell us what schools were like there. These experiences didn’t distract me from chemistry, but rather enhanced it, helping me understand how it worked and why it mattered. It turned out that I was indeed no Mendeleev. I didn’t major in chemistry, but I got a PhD in Chinese literature. Now, I may not be teaching chemistry, but the curiosity, openness, and cross-disciplinary thinking my chemistry teacher instilled in me are at the heart of what I do. 4. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. The author was not gifted in chemistry. B. The author wanted to be the top student. C. The author didn’t enjoy traditional classes. D. The author didn’t get along with the teacher. 5. What can be inferred about the chemistry teacher? A. He disliked chemistry in reality. B. He was indifferent to the humanities. C. He valued the humanities more than he admitted. D. He found Chinese more engaging than chemistry. 6. What does the underlined phrase “paying lip service” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Voicing strong criticism. B. Pretending to offer support. C. Rejecting in a direct manner. D. Expressing sincere agreement. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Final Decision: Dropping Advanced Chemistry B. A Father’s Influence: Shaping a Career in Literature C. The Unexpected Path: From Chemistry to Chinese Literature D. A Lasting Lesson: How My Chemistry Teacher Shaped My World 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者高中化学老师对其产生的深远影响。化学老师跨学科的教学方式不仅激发了作者对化学的兴趣，更培养了他的好奇心、开放思维和跨学科视野，最终引导作者走上中国文学研究的道路，并终身受益。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My tenth-grade chemistry teacher could tell that I wasn’t the next Mendeleev.(我上高二那年的化学老师就能看出，我绝不可能成为下一个门捷列夫那样的杰出人物)”可知，作者在化学方面缺乏天赋。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He used to tell us, with a twinkle in his eye, that chemistry was the most important subject, followed by math, with the humanities (such as history, literature, and philosophy) coming last. However, he sometimes brought Chinese trinkets (小件饰物) and showed us videos about Chinese culture. It seemed that in practice, he didn’t follow his own ranking system.(他过去常常笑着告诉我们，化学是最重要的学科，其次是数学，而人文科学（如历史、文学和哲学）则排在最后。然而，他有时会带来一些中国的小饰品，并给我们播放有关中国文化的视频。看起来实际上他并没有遵循自己设定的排名顺序)”可知，这种言行不一表明他实际对人文学科的重视远超其口头承认。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“My father, an engineer, viewed math and sciences as superior to the humanities, which made me decide to prove that the humanities were better.(我的父亲是一名工程师，他认为数学和自然科学比人文科学更优越，这促使我决心证明人文科学其实更出色)”以及划线词后文“freely mixed cultural studies, literature recommendations, and family tips into our classes(将文化研究、文学推荐以及家庭建议等元素自由地融入课程之中)”可知，老师只是口头敷衍赞同，行动上却完全相反。故B项“Pretending to offer support” (假装提供支持) 符合“口头宣称支持但无实际行动”的语境。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。全文主旨在于强调化学老师对作者产生的深远持久的影响。末段明确点出“Now, I may not be teaching chemistry, but the curiosity, openness, and cross-disciplinary thinking my chemistry teacher instilled in me are at the heart of what I do.(如今，我或许并非教授化学课程，但我的化学老师所培养给我的好奇心、开放态度以及跨学科的思维方式，正是我所从事工作的核心所在)”可知，D项“持久的一课：我的化学老师如何塑造我的世界”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C Kelp forests are diverse underwater ecosystems stretching along coastlines worldwide. They provide homes for marine wildlife, rank among Earth’s most productive habitats, capture carbon efficiently, and protect coasts from erosion (侵蚀). These “lungs of the ocean” play a vital role in maintaining marine health. In recent years, however, kelp forests on North America’s west coast have declined due to threats like marine heatwaves — extended periods of abnormally warm ocean water linked to climate change. Using 40 years of satellite data, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) studied how Marine protected Areas (MPAs) affect kelp recovery along California’s coast. Their findings showed that kelp forests within MPAs recovered more quickly after heatwaves. “MPA-protected kelp bounced back better than protected areas after major climate disturbances,” noted lead author Emelly Ortiz-Villa. She added that restricted fishing zones protecting predators (捕食者) like lobsters saw stronger regrowth, suggesting MPAs boost ecosystem resilience (恢复力) to climate events. MPAs are ocean areas where human activities are limited to support ecosystems and species living there. But protection levels vary greatly: some are “no-take” zones with strict rules, while others have loose restrictions or poor management. Professor Rick Stafford from the British Ecological Society emphasized, “UCLA’s research proves local protection helps counter global threats like climate change. Given the widespread loss of marine ecosystems, such effective local protection models should be promoted globally to maximize ecological benefits. We can’t assume these benefits will continue without consistent support for expansion.” Senior author Kyle Cavanough explained, “Our findings can guide where to create new MPAs or other protection measures.” However, the team warned that not all MPAs performed better than protected areas, indicating other factors influence kelp resilience. They plan to identify these factors in future research to determine when and where MPAs most effectively support kelp recovery. 8. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Kelp forests’ ecological significance. B. Kelp forests’ urgent need for protection. C. Kelp forests’ role in reducing climate impacts. D. Kelp forests’ way of regulating marine temperature. 9. What did the researchers at UCLA find about kelp forests? A. They captured carbon well in MPAs. B. They needed predators to recover in MPAs. C. They declined more after marine heatwaves. D. They regrew faster in MPAs after heatwaves. 10. What point does Professor Rick Stafford emphasize? A. MPAs should be effectively expanded globally. B. Human activities in MPAs must be banned. C. Effective management is key to MPA success. D. Climate change makes MPAs less effective. 11. What will the researchers focus on next? A. Developing new satellite technologies. B. Assessing the effect of MPAs’ management. C. Exploring other factors affecting kelp resilience. D. Comparing kelp in MPAs and protected areas. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍海藻林对海洋生态至关重要，近年受海洋热浪影响衰退，UCLA 研究显示 MPA 能助力其灾后恢复，专家建议推广该保护模式，团队将进一步研究相关影响因素。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Kelp forests are diverse underwater ecosystems stretching along coastlines worldwide. They provide homes for marine wildlife, rank among Earth’s most productive habitats, capture carbon efficiently, and protect coasts from erosion (侵蚀). These “lungs of the ocean” play a vital role in maintaining marine health. (海藻森林是沿着世界各地海岸线延伸的多种水下生态系统。它们为海洋野生动物提供家园，是地球上最具生产力的栖息地之一，有效地捕获碳，保护海岸免受侵蚀。这些“海洋之肺”在维持海洋健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。)”可知，第一段主要讲的是海藻森林的生态意义。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““MPA-protected kelp bounced back better than protected areas after major climate disturbances,” noted lead author Emelly Ortiz-Villa. She added that restricted fishing zones protecting predators (捕食者) like lobsters saw stronger regrowth, suggesting MPAs boost ecosystem resilience (恢复力) to climate events. ( 主要作者艾米丽·奥尔蒂斯-维拉指出：“在重大气候干扰之后，受MPA保护的海带比保护区恢复得更好。”她补充说，保护龙虾等捕食者的限制捕捞区出现了更强的再生，这表明海洋保护区提高了生态系统对气候事件的适应能力。)”可知，MPA内的海藻林，在热浪后恢复更快。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Given the widespread loss of marine ecosystems, such effective local protection models should be promoted globally to maximize ecological benefits. We can’t assume these benefits will continue without consistent support for expansion. (鉴于海洋生态系统的普遍丧失，应在全球范围内推广这种有效的地方保护模式，以实现生态效益最大化。如果没有持续的扩张支持，我们不能认为这些好处会持续下去。)”可知，Rick Stafford教授强调了海洋保护区应在全球范围内有效扩大。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, the team warned that not all MPAs performed better than protected areas, indicating other factors influence kelp resilience. They plan to identify these factors in future research to determine when and where MPAs most effectively support kelp recovery. ( 然而，研究小组警告说，并非所有的海洋保护区都比保护区表现得更好，这表明还有其他因素影响着海带的恢复能力。他们计划在未来的研究中确定这些因素，以确定海洋保护区何时何地最有效地支持海带恢复。)”可推知，研究人员下一步将关注探索影响海藻恢复力的其他因素。故选C项。 D Skoltech researchers have developed a mathematical model to explore memory function, with findings published in Scientific Reports that could advance robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and our understanding of human memory storage. Notably, the study suggests an ideal number of senses may exist — indicating that humans’ five traditional senses might not be sufficient. Following an early 20th-century research tradition, the team focused on modeling engrams (记忆痕迹), the basic units of memory. An engram is a scattered (分散的) set of neurons across different brain regions that activate together, each representing a concept defined by specific features. For humans, these features are related to sensory experiences: the concept of a banana, for example, includes its look, smell, taste, and other sensory traits. In this framework, a banana becomes a five-dimensional object in the brain’s mental space that holds all stored memories. Engrams evolve over time, becoming sharper or more unclear depending on how often they are activated by external sensory input. This process mirrors how humans learn and forget through interactions with the environment. “We have mathematically demonstrated that engrams tend to evolve toward a steady state,” explained study co-author Professor Nikolay Brilliantov of Skoltech AI. “After some short period, a ‘mature’ distribution of engrams emerges and continues.” A key discovery came when the team examined the ultimate capacity of conceptual spaces with different numbers of dimensions. “Somewhat surprisingly, we found that the number of distinct engrams stored in the steady state is greatest for a seven-dimensional concept space,” Brilliantov noted. This led to the “seven senses claim”: if each dimension corresponds to a sense, seven senses would maximize memory capacity and deepen overall understanding of the world. Importantly, this number is stable — it doesn’t rely on the model’s specific details. While the conclusion about human senses is highly theoretical, Brilliantov added that the findings, however, are useful for robotics and AI theory. Advancing the theoretical models of memory will be instrumental to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents. 12. Why does the author mention the concept of a banana in paragraph 2? A. To show five sensory formations of bananas. B. To compare different ways of storing memories. C. To explain how sensory features form a concept. D. To show the five-dimensional structure of the brain. 13. What can we learn about engrams from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A. Their mature distribution appears fast but lasts short. B. They get unclear only with rare internal signal activation. C. A seven-dimensional space stores the most distinct engrams. D. Their evolution has no link to human learning and forgetting. 14. What is Brilliantov’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To discuss human senses’ evolution. B. To compare different memory storage theories. C. To explain how AI recreatest humanlike memory. D. To introduce a memory mathematical model and its findings. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了俄罗斯斯科尔科沃理工学院的研究人员开发的一种探索记忆功能的数学模型，阐述了该模型对记忆痕迹的建模过程、关键发现，并指出研究成果对机器人技术、人工智能及人类记忆理解的意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Following an early 20th-century research tradition, the team focused on modeling engrams (记忆痕迹), the basic units of memory. An engram is a scattered (分散的) set of neurons across different brain regions that activate together, each representing a concept defined by specific features. For humans, these features are related to sensory experiences: the concept of a banana, for example, includes its look, smell, taste, and other sensory traits. In this framework, a banana becomes a five-dimensional object in the brain’s mental space that holds all stored memories.(遵循20世纪早期的一种研究传统，该团队专注于对记忆的基本单元——“记忆图元”进行建模。记忆图元是在不同大脑区域分散分布的一组神经元，它们共同激活，每个图元都代表由特定特征所定义的一个概念。对于人类而言，这些特征与感官体验相关：例如，香蕉的概念包括其外观、气味、味道以及其他感官特征。在这个框架中，香蕉在大脑的思维空间中成为一个五维的物体，它承载着所有存储的记忆)”可知，作者在第二段中提及“香蕉”这一概念是为了说明感官特征是如何形成概念的。故选C。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Engrams evolve over time, becoming sharper or more unclear depending on how often they are activated by external sensory input. This process mirrors how humans learn and forget through interactions with the environment. “We have mathematically demonstrated that engrams tend to evolve toward a steady state,” explained study co-author Professor Nikolay Brilliantov of Skoltech AI. “After some short period, a ‘mature’ distribution of engrams emerges and continues.”(记忆痕迹会随着时间的推移而发生变化，其清晰度会因外部感官输入的激活频率而有所不同。这一过程与人类通过与环境的互动来学习和遗忘的方式如出一辙。“我们已经通过数学方法证明，记忆痕迹往往会趋向于一个稳定状态，”斯科尔泰克人工智能学院的研究合著者尼古拉·布里利托夫教授解释道。“在一段时间后，会出现一种‘成熟’的记忆痕迹分布，并持续下去。”)”以及第四段““Somewhat surprisingly, we found that the number of distinct engrams stored in the steady state is greatest for a seven-dimensional concept space,” Brilliantov noted. This led to the “seven senses claim”: if each dimension corresponds to a sense, seven senses would maximize memory capacity and deepen overall understanding of the world.(“令人有些意外的是，我们发现，在稳定状态下所存储的不同记忆单元的数量，在七维概念空间中是最为多的。”布里利塔夫说道。这便引出了“七种感官论”：如果每个维度都对应一种感官，那么七种感官将能最大限度地提升记忆容量，并加深对世界的整体理解)”可知，“记忆痕迹”是一个七维空间存储着最为独特的记忆片段。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the conclusion about human senses is highly theoretical, Brilliantov added that the findings, however, are useful for robotics and AI theory. Advancing the theoretical models of memory will be instrumental to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents.(虽然关于人类感官的结论具有很强的理论性，但布里利托夫补充说，这些发现对于机器人学和人工智能理论来说是有用的。推进记忆的理论模型将有助于我们对人类思维有新的理解，并在人工智能系统中创造出类似人类的记忆)”可知，Brilliantov对研究成果持“乐观态度”。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇即点明核心—Skoltech研究人员开发数学模型探索记忆功能“，后续围绕该模型展开：介绍模型对记忆痕迹的建模逻辑、推导的记忆痕迹进化规律、“七维空间与记忆容量“的关键发现，最后提及研究意义。整体旨在“介绍一种记忆数学模型及其发现”。故选D。 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。 Judging a Book by Its Cover The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. ____16____ I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either. The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book. ____17____ From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about. As an author, I recognize the need for an impressive cover. Several years ago, I published Under the Almond Trees. ____18____ I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” ____19____ I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition. So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. ____20____ A. So I hired a different designer to undo it. B. But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story. C. In fact, many authors underestimate the cover design. D. Therefore, it’s important to remember that the cover matters. E. The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important part. F. A truly great story, however, will always succeed regardless of its cover. G. I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“不要以貌取人”这句谚语在图书领域的应用，作者通过个人经历论证了封面设计对图书的重要性，指出封面虽不是全部，但却是影响读者决策的重要部分。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. (英语习语“不要以貌取人”是一个比喻的说法。其含义是，人们不应仅仅根据事物的外表来评判其价值或意义)”可知，文章开篇引出谚语及其含义，和下文“I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either.(我同意不能仅仅根据封面来评判一本书，但同时也不应忽视封面的作用)”可知，作者表示部分赞同并提出转折观点，故空格处需起到承上启下的作用。B选项“But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story.(但这个谚语并没有说明全部真相)”中的“But“形成语义转折，一方面承接了谚语本身，另一方面自然地引出了作者认为该观点不全面的论述，为下文的展开奠定了基调。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book.(封面是至关重要的第一印象。封面的正反两面所呈现的一切，都是经过精心设计的，目的是为了说服你购买并阅读这本书)”可知，强调封面的重要性，结合下文“From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about.(从封面上，你可以了解到书名和作者，这两者中的任何一个都可能足以让你决定去阅读这本书。封底上还有一段简短的故事情节概述，或许还有一些书评。封面图片、颜色和字体风格都能让潜在读者对这本书的内容有个大致的了解)”可知，下文具体列举封面提供的各类信息，是对空格处观点的详细阐释和例证。E选项“封面只是书的一部分，但它是重要的一部分”精准地概括了该段的核心思想。“only part”与“important part”的转折结构，与上文“shouldn’t only… but don’t ignore…”的逻辑完美呼应，且“important part”是下文细节的总述。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据下文“I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. (我想要彩色而不是黑白，并对结果很满意)”可推知，空格处需要描述一个让作者最初感到满意的、具体的封面设计决策。G选项“我要求封面设计师使用一张老照片作为封面的模型”明确交代了封面的设计灵感来源，正是这一具体行动产生了让她初期满意的“result”。选项中的“cover designer”也与本段首句“an impressive cover”形成词汇关联。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!”(不过后来我意识到有些东西是缺失的。我喜欢那湛蓝的天空、树上的花朵、字体的颜色，但那种感觉就是没有那种“选我吧！”的强烈召唤力)”和下文“I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition.(我记得曾跟她说过我喜欢这个设计，但总觉得有些地方不太对劲。她最终完成的设计与我之前说的差不多。那些杏树还在，还有那匹马和马车。色彩和字体都更好了。这东西我根本无法用言语形容，但这个新封面实在太出色了。它甚至在封面设计比赛中获得了决赛入围资格)”可知，在发现不满后，作者采取了行动。A选项“所以我另雇了一位设计师来修正这个问题。”准确描述了这一关键举措。下文的“her”正是指代这位“different designer”。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information.(所以，无论是否有人告诉你要“以貌取人”，我知道这种判断行为确实存在。潜在的读者会根据封面的信息来决定是否拿起一本书)”可知，这是作者在结合自身经历后得出的最终结论。空格位于篇末，需要是一个总结性的句子。D选项“因此，记住封面至关重要”中的“Therefore”是强有力的总结性信号词，“the cover matters”精准地提炼并重申了全文的中心论点，与文章开头和中间的论述形成首尾呼应，有力地升华了主题。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A friend’s announcement in our group chat about moving to Newcastle brought ____21____ feelings — excitement to visit, yet sadness over rare London meetings.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以作者个人亲身经历为例，指出群聊虽能维系远距离友谊，却较真实友谊浅薄，无法满足所有情感需求，真正的友谊需线下陪伴与真诚交流，建议重启一对一通话、优先见面以维系。 【21题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在我们的群聊中，一位朋友宣布要搬到纽卡斯尔去，这让我百感交集——既为去纽卡斯尔而兴奋，又为因伦敦见面机会变少而难过。A. positive积极的；B. unspoken未说出口的；C. artificial人造的；D. mixed混合的。根据后文明确提到“excitement to visit, yet sadness over rare London meetings”（想去拜访的兴奋，却因伦敦见面机会变少而难过），两种对立情绪并存，因此是“混合的”感受。故选D项。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这些时刻提醒我，没有我们，生活照样继续。A. hide隐藏；B. ignore忽视；C. remind提醒；D. forget忘记。根据上文“another friend shared career updates abroad or photos of unfamiliar kids.”可知，朋友分享海外事业、陌生孩子的照片等场景，让“我”意识到“生活在我们缺席的情况下依然在前行”，这是一种“提醒”。故选C项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我每天通过信息、表情符号或表情包与朋友交流，但感觉很空洞。A. compete竞争；B. communicate交流；C. argue争论；D. work工作。根据后文 “through messages, emojis, or memes”（通过信息、表情或梗图）是沟通方式，因此对应 “交流”。故选B项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：群聊，曾经热闹的数字走廊，现在突显了面对面的聚会是如何被工作、家庭和成人责任所取代的。A. deny否认；B. highlight凸显；C. reduce减少；D. forget忘记。根据句意以及下文“how in-person hangouts have been replaced by jobs, family, and adult responsibilities”可知，曾经热闹的群聊，如今“凸显”了面对面聚会被工作、家庭和成人责任取代的现实 —— 群聊的存在让这种替代关系更明显。故选B项。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那种在青春时期毫不费力的亲密感已经消逝；现在的聚会需要数周的计划。A. faded消退；B. grown成长；C. returned回归；D. strengthened强化。根据前文“effortless closeness of youth”（年轻时毫不费力的亲密感）与后文“meetups now demand weeks of planning”（现在见面需数周规划）形成对比，说明亲密感已“消退”。故选A项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们称群聊为生命线，保持着跨越距离联系。A. breaking打破；B. ignoring忽视；C. losing失去；D. sustaining维持。根据前文“We call group chats lifelines”称群聊为“生命线”，作用是“跨越距离维持联系”。故选D项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它们通过定期更新和照片提供一种虚假的存在感。A. sense感觉；B. truth真相；C. effect效果；D. danger危险。根据句意以及下文“presence through periodic updates and photos”可知，群聊通过偶尔的更新和照片，营造出一种“虚假的在场感”，“a sense of presence”（在场感）是固定搭配。故选A项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但是这种交流比真正的友谊要浅薄——许多人觉得它很累人，就像兼职一样。A. thicker更浓厚的；B. deeper更深的；C. thinner更浅薄；D. stronger更强的。根据后文“many find it exhausting, like a part-time job”转折“很多人觉得这很累，像份兼职”，说明这种沟通比真正的友谊“更浅薄”。故选C项。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们不能满足所有的情感需求。A. miss错过；B. meet满足；C. avoid避免；D. increase增加。根据句意以及下文“all emotional needs”可知，群聊的浅薄决定了它们无法“满足所有情感需求”，“meet needs”（满足需求）是固定搭配。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：有些人只会用表情包说话；有些人什么也不说，只是随便点“赞”一个月前的评论。A. deliberately故意地；B. eagerly急切地；C. randomly随机地；D. regularly定期地。根据前文“Some treat them as calendars, others as therapy; some only speak in memes”描述群聊中不同人的敷衍状态，“随机点赞一个月前的评论”符合“从未主动发言，仅偶尔互动”的敷衍感。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：重要的生活事件——比如失业、分手或悲伤——在这种情况下往往难以分享。A. setting场景、环境；B. office办公室；C. moment时刻；D. room空间。根据上文“Important life events—like job loss, breakups, or grief”可知，此处指“场景、环境”，即失业、分手、悲伤等重要人生事件，很难在群聊这种“场景”中分享。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：群聊有帮助，但还不够。A. enough足够的；B. useful有用的；C. new新的；D. fun有趣的。根据前文“Group chats help”提到“群聊有帮助”，但后文强调“真正的友谊需要付出时间、超越表情的交流”，说明群聊 “不够”（无法替代真正的友谊）。故选A项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：真正的友谊需要不方便的存在，表情符号之外的语言，即使困难也要努力出现。A. excuse借口；B. effort努力；C. offer提议；D. mistake错误。根据句意以及下文“to show up even when hard”可知，真正的友谊需要“即使困难也愿意出现的努力”。故选B项。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：重新开始一对一通话。A. Ignore忽视；B. Delete删除；C. Restart重新开始；D. Forget忘记。 根据前文“Change is possible.”说“改变是可能的”，后文提出具体建议，可知，“重新开始一对一通话”是积极的改变措施。故选C项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们所爱的人生活在我们的手机里——我们必须邀请他们到现实世界中来。A. prevent阻止；B. keep保持；C. let保持；D. invite邀请。根据前文“Our loved ones live in our phones”以及后文“invite them out into the real world”（邀请他们走进现实）形成“从线上到线下”的转折。故选D项。 第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For the new school year that began in September, Chinese education authorities conducted ambitious “AI literacy programs” in primary and secondary schools nationwide, a move that is ____36____ line with the national “AI+” strategy. ____37____ (specific), all schools in Beijing are required to provide a basic AI course with at least eight class hours per academic year.

Specifically 38. that 39. starting 40. a 41. and##while 42. timely 43. emphasis 44. has established 45. to prepare 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新学年伊始，中国教育部门为契合国家“AI+”战略，在全国中小学推行“人工智能素养提升计划”的具体举措及其深远意义。 【36题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：在9月开始新学年，中国教育部门在全国中小学开展了雄心勃勃的“人工智能素养提升计划”，此举符合国家“AI+”战略。in line with表示“与…… 一致”，此处指“AI素养计划”符合国家“AI+” 战略。故填in。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：具体来说，北京的所有学校都必须提供每学年至少8学时的人工智能基础课程。此处需用副词修饰整个句子，specific（形容词，具体的）变形为specifically（副词，具体来说），引出后文各地学校的具体要求。首字母大写。故填Specifically。 【38题详解】 考查代词。句意：杭州的课程比去年更加全面，所有年级每年至少需要10个小时。此处为代词that指代前文提到的 “curriculum（课程设置）”，避免重复。故填that。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：课程的设计与学生的发展相匹配，从幼儿的动手活动开始。此处为非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语“The curriculum”与“start”是主动关系，故用现在分词短语“starting with…”作状语，表伴随。故填starting。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：人工智能也在快速改变着课堂环境。at a rapid rate 表示 “以快的速度”，rate是可数名词单数，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：在一些学校，人工智能机器人共同授课，以提高学生的参与度，智能平台通过及时提供个性化反馈，帮助教师更有效地批改作业。前后句“AI 机器人协同授课”与 “智能平台辅助批改作业”是并列或对比关系，while（表对比，然而）或and（表并列，并且）均符合语境。故填and/ while。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：在一些学校，人工智能机器人共同授课，以提高学生的参与度，智能平台通过及时提供个性化反馈，帮助教师更有效地批改作业。此处需形容词修饰名词“personalized feedback”，time（名词，时间）变形为timely（形容词，及时的），表示 “及时的个性化反馈”。故填timely。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：为了支持这一转变，当局非常重视教师培训和伙伴关系。此处为固定搭配place emphasis on 表示“重视……”，emphasize（动词，强调）变形为名词emphasis。故填emphasis。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：杭州已经建立了一个框架来提高教师的人工智能技能，现在正在促进学校、大学和科技公司之间的合作。后文“now is promoting”表明“建立框架”是已完成的动作，且对现在产生影响，用现在完成时，结合主语Hangzhou为第三人称单数，所以此处填has established。故填has established。 【45题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：这一努力是全国范围内努力的一部分，让学生为人工智能塑造的未来做好准备，并在2030年之前普及人工智能教育。push后接不定式作定语，a push to do sth 表示“推动做某事”，此处指 “推动学生为 AI 塑造的未来做准备”。故填to prepare。 第四部分 写作 (共两节;满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报《青春风采》正在举办以“成长之旅”为主题的征文活动。请你根据这句名言 （“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.”— David Mitchell），写一篇短文投稿。内容包括： 1. 谈谈你对这句名言的理解； 2. 结合一次你的亲身经历来说明这个道理。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version David Mitchell’s quote, “Travel far enough, you meet yourself,” touches me deeply. I believe it means that stepping out of our comfort zone allows us to discover our hidden strengths, passions, and true character. Last summer, I signed up for a volunteer teaching program in a rural village. The “travel” was far from comfortable — no air conditioning and limited Internet. Though initially frustrated, I gradually found joy in my students’ sparkling eyes. I discovered a patient and persevering side of myself I never knew. Pushed far from my routine, I didn’t just teach; I met the sympathetic and adaptable person I could become. This journey taught me that the most important destination is often a deeper understanding of who we are. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇短文投稿，谈谈你对这句名言的理解以及结合一次你的亲身经历来说明这个道理。 【详解】1.词汇积累 触动：touch→move 走出：step out of→walk out of 热情：passion→enthusiasm 遇见：meet→encounter 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：I discovered a patient and persevering side of myself I never knew. 拓展句：I discovered a patient and persevering side of myself that I never knew existed. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I believe it means that stepping out of our comfort zone allows us to discover our hidden strengths, passions, and true character.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】This journey taught me that the most important destination is often a deeper understanding of who we are.（运用了who引导宾语从句） 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 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。 It was late August and cold enough for the kids to be wrapped in extra sweatshirts, jackets, gloves and mittens. I was coaching a soccer team for kindergartners and first-graders. Little did I know that on that chilly afternoon, the children’s innocent and sincere actions showed me the power of unconditional acceptance. It was the day of our first practice. I sat the kids down on the bench. As was normally the case any time I was coaching a new team, we took the first few minutes to get to know one another. We went up and down the row a few times, each kid saying his or her name and the names of all the kids sitting to the left. After a few minutes of this, I decided to put the kids to the ultimate test. I asked for a volunteer who thought he or she knew the names of all eleven kids on the team and could prove it to all of us right then. There was one brave six-year-old who felt up to the challenge. He was to start at the far-left end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid’s name and then shake his or her right hand. Alex started off and was doing very well. While I stood behind him, he went down the row — Dylan, Micah, Sara, Beau and Danny — until he reached Ben, by far the smallest kid on the team. He stammered out Ben’s name without much trouble and reached out his right hand, but Ben would not extend his. I looked at Ben for a second, as did Alex and the rest of the kids on the bench, but he just sat there, his right hand hidden under the cuff (袖口) of his jacket. “Ben, why don’t you let Alex shake your hand?” I asked. But Ben just sat there, looking first at Alex and then at me, and then at Alex once again. “Ben, what’s the matter?” I asked. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally, Ben stood up and whispered, “Coach, I was born without a right hand.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amazingly, Ben replied with a bright and cheerful smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, Ben stood up and whispered, “Coach, I was born without a right hand.” He slowly pulled back his cuff, revealing a small artificial hand. The children fell silent, their eyes wide with curiosity. Just as I was searching for words, Alex, without a moment’s hesitation, gently reached out and shook Ben’s left hand instead. “It’s nice to meet you, Ben!” he said warmly. One by one, the other children followed, each offering a handshake or a high-five to Ben’s left hand. Amazingly, Ben replied with a bright and cheerful smile. The worry vanished from his face, replaced by pure joy. Seeing this, I felt a lump in my throat. The children, without any adult’s guidance, had chosen kindness and inclusion. Our practice resumed, not with awkwardness, but with louder laughter and closer teamwork. As the sun began to set, Ben ran across the field with his new friends, no longer hiding his hand but shining with confidence and joy. That day, those young kids taught me that true acceptance requires no grand words — just a simple, heartfelt gesture. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了八月末的寒冷午后，作者执教幼儿园和一年级学生的足球队。首次训练时，作者让孩子轮流认全队友名字并握手，亚历克斯挑战时遇到天生没有右手、佩戴假手的本。在无人引导的情况下，亚历克斯主动握本的左手，其他孩子也纷纷效仿，用善意接纳了本。这件事让作者领悟到，真正的接纳无需豪言壮语，只需简单真诚的举动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，本站起身来小声说道：‘教练，我生来就没有右手。’”可知，第一段可描写亚历克斯主动握本的左手，其他孩子也纷纷效仿，用善意接纳了本。 ②由第二段首句内容“令人惊讶的是，本带着灿烂而欢快的笑容做出了回应”可知，第二段可描写这件事让作者领悟到，真正的接纳无需豪言壮语，只需简单真诚的举动。 2.续写线索：本坦白自己的残疾——亚历克斯主动握手——其他人效仿——本做出回应——作者感悟 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①露出：reveal/expose ②消失：vanish/fade away ③代替：replace/take the place of 情绪类 ①沉默的：silent/speechless ②真诚的：heartfelt/sincere 【点睛】[高分句型1] Just as I was searching for words, Alex, without a moment’s hesitation, gently reached out and shook Ben’s left hand instead.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] That day, those young kids taught me that true acceptance requires no grand words — just a simple, heartfelt gesture.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度高三上学期期中考试 高三英语试题 考试时间:2025年11月12日上午8:00-10:00 试卷满分:150分 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并认真核准准考证号条形码上的以上信息，将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 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。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.

Early in the year, he gave us tough exams, warning that students who struggled should reconsider staying in the advanced-level class. I’d never excelled in science, so I determined that if I could not get an A on the next assignment, I would drop down a level. Before returning the assignment, he asked if anyone was taking the new Chinese class. I raised my hand hesitantly. I got an A on the assignment, and my chemistry teacher had written what looked like two Chinese characters on the label of the folder. When I asked him what they meant, he explained they formed the Chinese characters for “chemistry”. He used to tell us, with a twinkle in his eye, that chemistry was the most important subject, followed by math, with the humanities (such as history, literature, and philosophy) coming last. However, he sometimes brought Chinese trinkets (小件饰物) and showed us videos about Chinese culture. It seemed that in practice, he didn’t follow his own ranking system. My father, an engineer, viewed math and sciences as superior to the humanities, which made me decide to prove that the humanities were better. My chemistry teacher, though paying lip service to the same ideas as my father, freely mixed cultural studies, literature recommendations, and family tips into our classes. He also invited teachers from China to tell us what schools were like there. These experiences didn’t distract me from chemistry, but rather enhanced it, helping me understand how it worked and why it mattered. It turned out that I was indeed no Mendeleev. I didn’t major in chemistry, but I got a PhD in Chinese literature. Now, I may not be teaching chemistry, but the curiosity, openness, and cross-disciplinary thinking my chemistry teacher instilled in me are at the heart of what I do. 4. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. The author was not gifted in chemistry. B. The author wanted to be the top student. C. The author didn’t enjoy traditional classes. D. The author didn’t get along with the teacher. 5. What can be inferred about the chemistry teacher? A. He disliked chemistry in reality. B. He was indifferent to the humanities. C. He valued the humanities more than he admitted. D. He found Chinese more engaging than chemistry. 6. What does the underlined phrase “paying lip service” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Voicing strong criticism. B. Pretending to offer support. C. Rejecting in a direct manner. D. Expressing sincere agreement. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Final Decision: Dropping Advanced Chemistry B. A Father’s Influence: Shaping a Career in Literature C. The Unexpected Path: From Chemistry to Chinese Literature D. A Lasting Lesson: How My Chemistry Teacher Shaped My World C Kelp forests are diverse underwater ecosystems stretching along coastlines worldwide. They provide homes for marine wildlife, rank among Earth’s most productive habitats, capture carbon efficiently, and protect coasts from erosion (侵蚀). These “lungs of the ocean” play a vital role in maintaining marine health. In recent years, however, kelp forests on North America’s west coast have declined due to threats like marine heatwaves — extended periods of abnormally warm ocean water linked to climate change. Using 40 years of satellite data, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) studied how Marine protected Areas (MPAs) affect kelp recovery along California’s coast. Their findings showed that kelp forests within MPAs recovered more quickly after heatwaves. “MPA-protected kelp bounced back better than protected areas after major climate disturbances,” noted lead author Emelly Ortiz-Villa. She added that restricted fishing zones protecting predators (捕食者) like lobsters saw stronger regrowth, suggesting MPAs boost ecosystem resilience (恢复力) to climate events. MPAs are ocean areas where human activities are limited to support ecosystems and species living there. But protection levels vary greatly: some are “no-take” zones with strict rules, while others have loose restrictions or poor management. Professor Rick Stafford from the British Ecological Society emphasized, “UCLA’s research proves local protection helps counter global threats like climate change. Given the widespread loss of marine ecosystems, such effective local protection models should be promoted globally to maximize ecological benefits. We can’t assume these benefits will continue without consistent support for expansion.” Senior author Kyle Cavanough explained, “Our findings can guide where to create new MPAs or other protection measures.” However, the team warned that not all MPAs performed better than protected areas, indicating other factors influence kelp resilience. They plan to identify these factors in future research to determine when and where MPAs most effectively support kelp recovery. 8. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Kelp forests’ ecological significance. B. Kelp forests’ urgent need for protection. C. Kelp forests’ role in reducing climate impacts. D. Kelp forests’ way of regulating marine temperature. 9. What did the researchers at UCLA find about kelp forests? A. They captured carbon well in MPAs. B. They needed predators to recover in MPAs. C. They declined more after marine heatwaves. D. They regrew faster in MPAs after heatwaves. 10. What point does Professor Rick Stafford emphasize? A. MPAs should be effectively expanded globally. B. Human activities in MPAs must be banned. C. Effective management is key to MPA success. D. Climate change makes MPAs less effective. 11. What will the researchers focus on next? A. Developing new satellite technologies. B. Assessing the effect of MPAs’ management. C. Exploring other factors affecting kelp resilience. D. Comparing kelp in MPAs and protected areas. D Skoltech researchers have developed a mathematical model to explore memory function, with findings published in Scientific Reports that could advance robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and our understanding of human memory storage. Notably, the study suggests an ideal number of senses may exist — indicating that humans’ five traditional senses might not be sufficient. Following an early 20th-century research tradition, the team focused on modeling engrams (记忆痕迹), the basic units of memory. An engram is a scattered (分散的) set of neurons across different brain regions that activate together, each representing a concept defined by specific features. For humans, these features are related to sensory experiences: the concept of a banana, for example, includes its look, smell, taste, and other sensory traits. In this framework, a banana becomes a five-dimensional object in the brain’s mental space that holds all stored memories. Engrams evolve over time, becoming sharper or more unclear depending on how often they are activated by external sensory input. This process mirrors how humans learn and forget through interactions with the environment. “We have mathematically demonstrated that engrams tend to evolve toward a steady state,” explained study co-author Professor Nikolay Brilliantov of Skoltech AI. “After some short period, a ‘mature’ distribution of engrams emerges and continues.” A key discovery came when the team examined the ultimate capacity of conceptual spaces with different numbers of dimensions. “Somewhat surprisingly, we found that the number of distinct engrams stored in the steady state is greatest for a seven-dimensional concept space,” Brilliantov noted. This led to the “seven senses claim”: if each dimension corresponds to a sense, seven senses would maximize memory capacity and deepen overall understanding of the world. Importantly, this number is stable — it doesn’t rely on the model’s specific details. While the conclusion about human senses is highly theoretical, Brilliantov added that the findings, however, are useful for robotics and AI theory. Advancing the theoretical models of memory will be instrumental to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents. 12. Why does the author mention the concept of a banana in paragraph 2? A. To show five sensory formations of bananas. B. To compare different ways of storing memories. C. To explain how sensory features form a concept. D. To show the five-dimensional structure of the brain. 13. What can we learn about engrams from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A. Their mature distribution appears fast but lasts short. B. They get unclear only with rare internal signal activation. C. A seven-dimensional space stores the most distinct engrams. D. Their evolution has no link to human learning and forgetting. 14. What is Brilliantov’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To discuss human senses’ evolution. B. To compare different memory storage theories. C. To explain how AI recreatest humanlike memory. D. To introduce a memory mathematical model and its findings. 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。 Judging a Book by Its Cover The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. ____16____ I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either. The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book. ____17____ From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about. As an author, I recognize the need for an impressive cover. Several years ago, I published Under the Almond Trees. ____18____ I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” ____19____ I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition. So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. ____20____ A. So I hired a different designer to undo it. B. But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story. C. In fact, many authors underestimate the cover design. D. Therefore, it’s important to remember that the cover matters. E. The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important part. F. A truly great story, however, will always succeed regardless of its cover. G. I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A friend’s announcement in our group chat about moving to Newcastle brought ____21____ feelings — excitement to visit, yet sadness over rare London meetings.

I was coaching a soccer team for kindergartners and first-graders. Little did I know that on that chilly afternoon, the children’s innocent and sincere actions showed me the power of unconditional acceptance. It was the day of our first practice. I sat the kids down on the bench. As was normally the case any time I was coaching a new team we took the first few minutes to get to know one another. We went up and down the row a few times, each kid saying his or her name and the names of all the kids sitting to the left. After a few minutes of this, I decided to put the kids to the ultimate test. I asked for a volunteer who thought he or she knew the names of all eleven kids on the team and could prove it to all of us right then. There was one brave six-year-old who felt up to the challenge. He was to start at the far-left end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid’s name and then shake his or her right hand. Alex started off and was doing very well. While I stood behind him, he went down the row — Dylan, Micah, Sara, Beau and Danny — until he reached Ben, by far the smallest kid on the team. He stammered out Ben’s name without much trouble and reached out his right hand, but Ben would not extend his. I looked at Ben for a second, as did Alex and the rest of the kids on the bench, but he just sat there, his right hand hidden under the cuff (袖口) of his jacket. “Ben, why don’t you let Alex shake your hand?” I asked. But Ben just sat there, looking first at Alex and then at me, and then at Alex once again. “Ben, what’s the matter?” I asked. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally, Ben stood up and whispered, “Coach, I was born without a right hand.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amazingly, Ben replied with a bright and cheerful smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
