M: Because I share this company’s vision for creating eco-friendly buildings. I take a lot of my inspiration directly from nature. W: Indeed. I was impressed with the design concept you handed in with your application — Desert Hotel. Were you inspired by some sort of insect? M: Yes, the silver ant. It’s covered with reflective hairs which keep it cool in extreme temperatures. My idea used reflective surfaces to a similar effect. W: Yes. It was both original and beautiful. M: Thank you! Nature, especially insects, teaches us a lot. My final project at college was inspired by the Eastgate Center in Harare. W: Oh, yes. It’s a shopping center, right? M: Yes, and an office block too. Its design is also based on a type of insect nest which naturally draws heat up and out, cooling the building without power. So clever! 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. Where are the speakers talking? A. In a home office. B. In a coffee shop. C. In an online meeting room. 15. What are the speakers mainly talking about? A. Their business costs. B.

Please excuse me for changing my chat background image. My house is a mess! M: Ha-ha! Why do you think I’ve come to a coffee shop? Anyway, shall we get started? W: Yes! So, returning to yesterday’s discussion: I’m open to the idea of a four-day working week, but I need to understand exactly how it would work. M: The key will be to cut out wasted time and unnecessary labor. Firstly, we all know meetings can be a huge time waster. Taking my own personal calendar as an example: In the past month, my shortest meeting lasted about 20 minutes, the longest one went up to two hours, and I spent a total of 30 hours in meetings. W: That is crazy! M: Sometimes they’re essential. But emails or shared documents are fine for general updates. W: What about a “deep work” period each morning? No meetings or messages, just focused work. M: Good thinking! A “commonly asked questions” section on the website would also free up our support team, too. W: Great! If you can finish your list of recommendations today and send it over, I’ll speak to Alex about the money side of things. M: Perfect. Will do! 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Niña weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being. I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives. I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed. I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze. 24. What is the author’s new perception of photography? A. It involves professional skills. B. It should carry deep meanings. C. It requires high-end equipment. D. It should produce beautiful pictures. 25. What inspired the author to create Blaze? A. Local environmental changes. B. Traditional Australian farming. C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D. Support from the local authority. 26. Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze? A. B. C. D. 27. What is the photo Blaze intended to be? A. A means of enhancing artistic taste. B. A strategy to beautify the landscape. C. A call to raise public awareness. D. A window to showcase local culture. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者原本专注于风景摄影，在澳大利亚Menindee lakes的经历让其意识到摄影应有更深含义，当地环境变化促使作者创作了照片Blaze，以引起人们对森林砍伐的关注。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos.(但一次在澳大利亚达令-巴阿克地区梅尼德里湖的为期一个月的露营之旅改变了我的看法；摄影不仅仅是拍摄照片)”可知，作者新的认知是摄影应具有深刻含义，故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast.(随着我对这个地方的了解越来越深入，我了解到人类活动导致了该地区大面积的森林砍伐和干旱，致使许多树木死亡。驾车穿越这片区域时，我回想起悉尼曾连续数月被浓烟笼罩，因为丛林大火席卷了东海岸)”和“Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo  Blaze  came into being.(然而，森林大火的画面一直萦绕在我的脑海里，我觉得有必要做点什么。就在那时，Blaze应运而生)”可知，促使作者创作Blaze这部作品的原因是当地环境的变化。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire.(我将一些通常用于烧烤的气罐连接到了被称为“滑线”的柔性输气管上。这些滑线可以沿着树的背面铺设，远离树木并隐藏在公众视线之外。当我点燃它们时，会产生火焰的轮廓，仿佛这棵树真的着火了)”可知，照片Blaze呈现的是一棵树被火焰轮廓包围，看起来仿佛树着火了的画面，故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation.(我与当地政府部门进行了沟通，说明了我的想法，即希望打造一棵“燃烧”的树，以此作为警示标志，引起人们对森林砍伐问题的关注)”可知，作者创作Blaze是为了唤起公众意识，故选C。 C As the global population continues to expand, traditional farming methods are struggling to provide enough food. However, an innovative agricultural company in Compton, Los Angeles, may have the solution. Their revolutionary farming system could transform food production, offering remarkable efficiency and sustainability. It’s far from the storybook picture of a farm — no mud, no boots, no hens pecking in the yard. Unlike conventional farms, this high-tech facility operates without soil, heavy machinery, or pesticides. Instead, it relies on automation and advanced plant science to maximize output. Using precisely calibrated (符合标准的) LED lighting and nutrient delivery systems, the facility produces up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional farms while using just 10% of the water — and it can be replicated (复制) almost anywhere. The entire process — from planting seeds to packaging produce — is automated. From the moment a worker tips seeds into the sowing machine, robots take over. Nearly 80 plant scientists study best growing conditions for each plant, working with over 100 engineers who translate these findings into hardware and software solutions. “Plants are really just little software programs,” explains one of the scientists. By studying plant DNA without changing it, scientists can program qualities like growth, flavor, and nutrition. For instance, exposing plants to blue light at specific growth cycles creates leaves with a satisfying crunch at harvest. The same principles can enhance antioxidant levels in vegetables by up to 40%. Since crops never contact soil, pesticides, or human hands, they require no washing — reducing both water waste and contamination risks. One of the greatest threats to the natural world is habitat loss due to farmland expansion. If successful, farms like this could reduce deforestation while meeting food demands. Yet the high costs — including energy-intensive artificial lighting — may block global adoption, particularly in developing nations where infrastructure is limited. Could this be the future of agriculture? With its incredible efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and potential for worldwide replication, this high-tech farming model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world — if the challenges of scaling and affordability can be overcome. 28. What is the main feature of the innovative farming system? A. It demands water-free technology. B. It gets high yields with little input. C. It is widely introduced in the world. D. It mixes old and new farming methods. 29. What is the scientists’ major role in the process of the farming system? A. They are gene editors. B. They are machine operators. C. They are system monitors. D. They are plant programmers. 30. What may limit the worldwide spread of this farming system? A. Low public acceptance. B. Great farmland loss. C. Poor production facilities. D. High energy demands. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of agriculture? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍洛杉矶康普顿一家农业公司的高科技耕作系统，阐述其无土、自动化等特点、优势，也提及推广挑战及未来潜力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Using precisely calibrated (符合标准的) LED lighting and nutrient delivery systems, the facility produces up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional farms while using just 10% of the water — and it can be replicated (复制) almost anywhere.(该设施使用精确校准的LED照明和营养输送系统，与传统农场相比，产量高达350倍，而用水量仅为传统农场的10%——而且它几乎可以在任何地方复制。)”可知，这种创新耕作系统的主要特点是投入少（用水少）却能获得高产量。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““Plants are really just little software programs,” explains one of the scientists. By studying plant DNA without changing it, scientists can program qualities like growth, flavor, and nutrition.(“植物实际上就是小型软件程序，”其中一位科学家解释道。通过研究植物DNA而不改变它，科学家们可以对植物的生长、风味和营养等特性进行“编程”。)”可知，科学家在该耕作系统流程中的主要角色是植物“程序员”，可对植物特性进行调控。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Yet the high costs — including energy-intensive artificial lighting — may block global adoption, particularly in developing nations where infrastructure is limited.(然而，高昂的成本——包括能源密集型的人工照明——可能会阻碍其在全球范围内的应用，尤其是在基础设施有限的发展中国家。)”可知，高能源需求带来的高成本可能限制该耕作系统在全球的推广。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Could this be the future of agriculture? With its incredible efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and potential for worldwide replication, this high-tech farming model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world — if the challenges of scaling and affordability can be overcome.(这会是农业的未来吗？凭借其惊人的效率、最小的环境影响以及在全球范围内复制的潜力，如果能克服规模化和可负担性方面的挑战，这种高科技耕作模式可能很快会成为养活我们不断增长的人口的关键。)”可知，作者认可该耕作系统的优势和潜力，对农业未来持乐观态度。故选A项。 D We live in an age where every click, scroll, and purchase is tracked, analyzed, and used to serve us a “personalized” world. Algorithms, the invisible architects of this world, promise efficiency and satisfaction—why waste time on irrelevant content when a machine can curate your perfect feed? But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones. Proponents of algorithms argue that they simply “give people what they want,” framing choice as a democratic(民主的) ideal. Yet this logic is flawed. When a platform learns you prefer conservative news, it stops showing liberal perspectives; if you binge true-crime podcasts, it floods your queue with similar content. Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the “filter bubble”—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers. Worse, algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy. Outrageous claims and sensational headlines generate more clicks than nuanced analysis, so they rise to the top. A 2023 study found that 68% of users exposed primarily to algorithmic news developed more polarized(两极分化的) political views compared to those who sought out diverse sources intentionally. This isn’t just about information—it’s about how we form opinions. If we never encounter arguments that challenge our beliefs, we lose the muscle of critical thinking. Defenders counter that users can always “opt out” by adjusting settings or seeking alternative sources. But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them. The burden of effort falls disproportionately(不成比例地) on the user, while platforms profit from our intellectual laziness. Algorithms are not inherently evil, but their current design serves corporate interests over human flourishing. To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement. The alternative is a world where no one thinks for themselves, because no one has to. 32. What is the main argument of the passage? A. Algorithms should be banned for spreading misinformation. B. Personalization harms our ability to think critically. C. Users are fully responsible for their digital choices. D. Platforms profit from catering to diverse interests. 33. Why does the author mention the “filter bubble”? A. To illustrate the narrowing effect of Personalization. B. To explain how algorithms protect users from harmful content. C. To praise algorithms for creating a comfortable online space. D. To compare digital echo chambers with traditional media. 34. What do proponents of algorithmic fail to consider? A. Users’ ability to easily adjust their settings. B. The profit motives behind platform design. C. The passive nature of most digital consumption. D. The efficiency of personalized content delivery. 35. What does the author suggest to counteract the negative effects of algorithms? A. Regulating platforms to remove all recommendation systems. B. Encouraging users to actively engage with diverse viewpoints. C. Teaching algorithms to prioritize accuracy over engagement. D. Reducing screen time to avoid digital platforms entirely. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了算法在个性化内容推荐中的角色及其对人们批判性思维和观点多样性的负面影响。算法通过跟踪用户行为提供定制内容，但这也导致用户陷入“过滤气泡”，视野狭窄，批判性思维减弱。作者呼吁用户主动寻求多元观点，以对抗算法的消极影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones(但这种便利的代价是高昂的：我们批判性思考的能力以及接触舒适区外观点的能力逐渐被侵蚀)”可知，算法推荐的个性化内容正在损害人们的批判性思维能力。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the ‘filter bubble’—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers(随着时间的推移，你的世界观不是通过选择，而是通过设计而缩小。心理学家称之为‘过滤气泡’——一个数字回声室，其中异议被沉默，好奇心枯萎)”可知，随着时间的推移，你的世界观不是通过选择，而是通过设计而缩小，可推理出作者提到“过滤气泡”是为了说明个性化推荐导致用户视野变窄的效果。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them(但这忽略了数字行为的现实：大多数人无意识地滚动，信任算法来引导他们)”可知，算法的支持者没有考虑到大多数数字消费的被动性。故选C项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement(为了摆脱这种情况，我们必须重拾主动性——限制屏幕时间，积极寻求相反观点，并要求平台将多样性置于参与度之上)”可知，作者建议用户主动接触多元观点以对抗算法的消极影响。故选B项。 第二节（共5个小题；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。 When I show people this image and ask what they see, they mostly say a question mark with two periods. They often add that the two periods represent your past and future, and the question mark is today. They wouldn’t be wrong. As a society, we are either focused on not repeating the past mistakes or what we’ll do in the future. We make lists, track what we read, study, watch, or listen to, and think a lot on injustices that demand equality.____36____ What if I tell you that there’s more white space than actual markings in the image? White space — also called negative space — exists in design as the unprinted area that is purposeful.____37____ Jocelyn K. Glei describes it as balancing the page by letting elements breathe, enhancing focus. ____38____ Glei suggests applying white space to daily schedules to foster innovation and imagination. Other writings describe it as cultivating the mental capacity to play, explore, learn, and rest without guilt or distraction. By shifting focus to the white space, we invite creativity and transcend the ordinary, helping us become who we’re meant to be. Simply put, wherever you have goals and dreams, this is where you need white space in your life.____39____ Rather than being continually active, rushing from one activity to the next, set aside time to just hold hands. Do you want to be more creative and productive when you are trying to build a business or create income through writing? Then schedule white space into your calendar to nurture creativity. White space isn’t laziness; it’s intentional time for wisdom to flow. So, how can we introduce this concept into our daily routines? You can create white space by intentionally setting electronics aside and walking away from your smartphone.____40____ Just like a webpage’s white space draws the eye, a life with scheduled white space draws in possibility. A. But here is where we get our focus all wrong. B. It supports visual integrity and draws attention. C. But our focus tends to skip the present moment. D. It creates an environment that fuels innovation and imagination. E. White space also comes from taking a walk or gazing at the breeze. F. Do you desire a deeper relationship with the special one in your life? G. If white space works so well in design, could it also improve our lives? 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过一张问号与两个圆点的图片引出核心观点 —— 人们常过度关注过去（圆点）与未来（圆点），却忽视了当下；进而引入设计领域的“留白”概念，论证其在生活中的重要性，并给出将留白融入日常生活的建议。 【36题详解】 上文“As a society, we are either focused on not repeating the past mistakes or what we’ll do in the future. We make lists, track what we read, study, watch, or listen to, and think a lot on injustices that demand equality.(作为一个社会群体，我们要么专注于不重复过去的错误，要么专注于未来要做什么。我们列清单，记录自己读了什么、学了什么、看了什么、听了什么，还会反复思考那些需要平等对待的不公之事)”指出人们的注意力集中在“过去”和“未来”，围绕这两者展开各种行动与思考，结合下文谈论“留白”的重要性可知，我们的关注点错了。选项A“但这就是我们的关注点完全错误的地方。”符合语境，承上启下。故选A。 【37题详解】 上文“White space — also called negative space — exists in design as the unprinted area that is purposeful.(留白 —— 也叫负空间 —— 在设计领域指具有特定目的的未印刷区域)”定义了设计中“留白”的概念，强调其“有目的”的属性。选项 B“它支持视觉完整性并吸引注意力”符合题意，是设计领域中留白的典型功能，与“设计”场景匹配。故选B。 【38题详解】 下文“Glei suggests applying white space to daily schedules to foster innovation and imagination. Other writings describe it as cultivating the mental capacity to play, explore, learn, and rest without guilt or distraction.(格莱建议将留白应用到日常日程中，以培养创新和想象力。其他文献则将其描述为培养一种无负罪感、无干扰地玩耍、探索、学习和休息的心理能力)”说明将“留白”从设计领域延伸到日常生活，并阐述其在生活中的作用。选项G“如果留白在设计中效果这么好，那它也能改善我们的生活吗？”符合语境，从“设计中留白有效”自然过渡到“是否能改善生活”，与上下文衔接自然。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“Simply put, wherever you have goals and dreams, this is where you need white space in your life.(简单来说，无论你在哪些方面有目标和梦想，那些方面就是你生活中需要留白的地方)”指出生活中有目标和梦想的地方，就需要留白。下文“Rather than being continually active, rushing from one activity to the next, set aside time to just hold hands.(与其一直忙碌，从一项活动匆忙赶到另一项活动，不如留出时间，仅仅是牵着手（陪伴）)”指出通过“留出时间陪伴”的例子，具体解释生活中的留白。选项F“你渴望与生命中那个特别的人建立更深厚的关系吗？”符合语境，既属于“生活目标”的范畴，又能自然引出下文“留出时间陪伴”的具体做法。故选F。 【40题详解】 上文“So, how can we introduce this concept into our daily routines? You can create white space by intentionally setting electronics aside and walking away from your smartphone.(那么，我们如何将这个概念引入日常生活呢？你可以通过刻意放下电子设备、远离智能手机来创造留白)”提出如何将留白融入日常的问题，并给出第一个方法 —— 远离电子设备。选项E“留白也可以是散步或凝望微风。”符合语境，与上文“远离电子设备”构成并列建议。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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人空白处的最佳选项。 I often heard about people who became fluent in French within three months of moving to Paris.

When I was first asked to ____48____ a manager shift, I turned it down for lack of ____49____, but my colleagues didn’t give up on me. I was soon running the show for three hours on Wednesday night, walking home with a warm sense of ____50____.

It’s been a long time since I’ve put in a shift at Le Bar Commun. I moved away and life became ____54____ — I began working for French employers and joining a community gardening group.

D 44. C 45. A 46. B 47. D 48. C 49. B 50. C 51. A 52. C 53. A 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在巴黎学习法语的经历。作者原本以为能在三个月内流利说法语，但两年后仍主要使用英语。后来作者在一家志愿者经营的酒吧工作，通过实践逐渐提高了法语水平，并克服了不断道歉的习惯，最终实现了自我接纳和进步。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我原以为我也会这样。A. suspected怀疑；B. assumed认为；C. acknowledged承认；D. demanded要求。根据前文“I often heard about people who became fluent in French within three months of moving to Paris.”和后文“I’d do the same”可推知，作者经常听说学习法语很容易，通常搬到巴黎后的三个月内就能说一口流利的法语，作者认为自己也会如此。故选B项。 【42题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但来到巴黎两年后，我仍在努力。A. struggling努力；B. celebrating庆祝；C. moving移动；D. dreaming梦想。根据后文“I could get by, but I was still speaking English.”可知，作者虽然能在巴黎生活，但仍然主要说英语，说明作者的法语水平不高，还在努力地学习。故选A项。 【43题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我自愿做一些轮班工作，比如倒啤酒和拼装奶酪拼盘。A. wonders奇迹；B. plans计划；C. problems问题；D. shifts轮班。根据后文“pulling pints and assembling cheese plates”和“When I was first asked to  8  a manager shift”可知，这个由志愿者经营的酒吧里的工作实行轮班，倒啤酒、拼装奶酪拼盘，甚至经理都可以轮流做。故选D项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有太多名词我还没遇到过，大多是关于清洁的。A. forgotten忘记；B. quoted引用；C. encountered遇到；D. explained解释。根据前文“There were so many nouns”和后文“putting the words into Google Translate”可知，作者遇到了很多不认识的名词。故选C项。 【45题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当需要这样的物品时，我会跑到厨房去“查看”我们是否有，在冲出去回应之前把单词输入谷歌翻译。A. requested需要；B. promoted促进；C. purchased购买；D. consumed消耗。根据后文“I’d run into the kitchen to “check” if we had them”可知，作者会跑到厨房去“查看”是否有这些物品，说明是有人需要这些物品。故选A项。 【46题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当需要这样的物品时，我会跑到厨房去“查看”我们是否有，在冲出去回复之前把单词输入谷歌翻译。A. payment支付；B. response回复；C. permission允许；D. guidance指导。根据前文“to “check” if we had them, putting the words into Google Translate before dashing back out”可推知，有人需要某些物品，作者“查看”后，应该要出去作出回复。故选B项。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：慢慢地，我的语言技能提高了，最终我不再躲在厨房里躲避顾客。A. learning学习；B. benefiting受益；C. suffering遭受；D. hiding躲避。根据前文“I’d run into the kitchen to “check” if we had them, putting the words into Google Translate...”可知，作者去厨房其实并不是为了“查看”是否有某些物品，而是为了躲避顾客，让自己有时间用谷歌翻译单词。故选D项。 【48题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：当我第一次被要求担任经理的轮班时，我因为缺乏信心而拒绝了，但我的同事们没有放弃我。A. stick to坚持；B. make out理解；C. take on承担；D. hand over移交。根据后文“a manager shift”可知，作者被要求承担经理的轮班工作。故选C项。 【49题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我第一次被要求担任经理的轮班时，我因为缺乏信心而拒绝了，但我的同事们没有放弃我。A. challenge挑战；B. confidence信心；C. support支持；D. safety安全。根据前文“There were so many nouns I hadn’t yet 4 .”和“I’d run into the kitchen to “check” if we had them, putting the words into Google Translate before dashing back...”可知，作者的法语很差，所以会因为缺乏信心而拒绝了担任经理的轮班工作。故选B项。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我很快就在周三晚上独自负责酒吧三个小时的运营，然后带着暖暖的满足感步行回家。A. guilt内疚；B. tiredness疲劳；C. satisfaction满足；D. regret遗憾。根据前文“I was soon running the show for three hours on Wednesday night”可知，作者的法语已经好到能够主持三个小时的节目，由此可知，作者会对自己的表现感到满意。故选C项。 【51题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我在酒吧学到的最重要的一件事是停止不断为我的法语道歉的习惯。A. apologizing道歉；B. complaining抱怨；C. joking开玩笑；D. bothering打扰。根据后文“The customers 12 me as I was, which let me accept myself and 13 .”以及作者之前的经历可推知，作者之前因为法语不好而不断道歉，现在在酒吧学到了要接受自己，停止道歉。故选A项。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：顾客们接受了我的本来面目，这让我接受了自己并取得了进步。A. pardoned原谅；B. convinced使信服；C. accepted接受；D. shaped塑造。根据后文“as I was”和“which let me accept myself”可推知，顾客们接受了法语不好的作者，这也让作者接受了自己。故选C项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：顾客们接受了我的本来面目，这让我接受了自己并取得了进步。A. progress进步；B. escape逃跑；C. reflect反映；D. wander徘徊。根据前文“let me accept myself”以及作者在酒吧的经历可知，作者接受了自己，并在法语上取得了进步。故选A项。 【54题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我搬走了，生活变得忙碌起来——我开始为法国雇主工作，加入了一个社区园艺小组。A. tough艰难的；B. busy忙碌的；C. boring无聊的；D. calm平静的。根据后文“I began working for French employers and joining a community gardening group.”可知，作者开始为法国雇主工作，并加入了社区园艺小组，说明作者的生活变得忙碌起来。故选B项。 【55题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果没有在酒吧度过的那些夜晚，这一切都不可能实现。A. risky冒险的；B. complex复杂的；C. intense强烈的；D. possible可能的。根据前文作者的经历以及“without those nights spent behind the bar”可知，如果没有在酒吧的工作经历，作者不可能取得现在的进步和成就。故选D项。 第二节（语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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。 “China’s modernization provides a valuable road map for African countries,” ____56____ Zambian think-tank chief recently said.

Mwamba supported China’s call for increased value addition to Africa’s raw materials. He noticed that Africa has long been an exporter of raw materials and ____64____ (advocate) for a shift toward value-added production to drive economic development. He expressed satisfaction with China-supported economic zones in African countries like Zambia, _____65_____ manufacturing (制造业) is emerging. Mwamba said establishing such zones has been successful in China, and is promising for Africa’s industrialization. 【答案】56. a 57. poverty 58. sustainable 59. further 60. to facilitate 61. in 62. Noting 63. and 64. advocated 65. where##whose 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了赞比亚智库负责人指出中国的现代化经验为非洲提供了可复制的发展路径。 【56题详解】 考查冠词。句意：一位赞比亚智库负责人近期表示：“中国的现代化进程为非洲国家提供了极具价值的发展蓝图。”此处chief为泛指，且Zambian是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。 【57题详解】 考查名词。句意：政策监测与研究中心的执行主任悉尼·姆瓦姆巴在接受采访时表示，中国在扶贫、基础设施建设和技术进步方面取得的成就为非洲国家实现可持续发展提供了范例。修饰名词alleviation，用名词poverty作定语，poverty alleviation“扶贫”。故填poverty。 【58题详解】 考查形容词。句意：政策监测与研究中心的执行主任悉尼·姆瓦姆巴在接受采访时表示，中国在扶贫、基础设施建设和技术进步方面取得的成就为非洲国家实现可持续发展提供了范例。修饰名词development用形容词sustainable。故填sustainable。 【59题详解】 考查副词。句意：他进一步强调，非洲需要对基础设施进行现代化改造，尤其是在铁路和公路方面，以促进货物、服务和人员的自由流通。此处意为“进一步”，修饰动词stressed用副词further。故填further。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他进一步强调，非洲需要对基础设施进行现代化改造，尤其是在铁路和公路方面，以促进货物、服务和人员的自由流通。此处facilitate用动词不定式作目的状语，表示“为了促进商品、服务和人员的自由流动”，故填to facilitate。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：他表示，中国在可再生能源（如太阳能和风能）方面的经验能够帮助非洲解决其能源问题。短语experience in表示“在某方面的经验”。故填in。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他指出，许多非洲国家在技术与创新方面相对落后，这导致了生产力低下。他认为，中国在农业领域的进步能够帮助非洲这一领域实现现代化，并提高生产力。note和句子主语 he构成了逻辑上的主动关系，所以此处要用现在分词作状语。首字母大写。故填Noting。 【63题详解】 考查连词。句意：他指出，许多非洲国家在技术与创新方面相对落后，这导致了生产力低下。他认为，中国在农业领域的进步能够帮助非洲这一领域实现现代化，并提高生产力。此处要用连词and连接两个并列成分，表示“帮助非洲国家实现农业现代化并提高生产力”。故填and。 【64题详解】 考查时态。句意：他注意到，非洲长期以来一直是原材料的出口地，并主张应转向附加值较高的生产环节，以推动经济发展。本句中的noticed为一般过去时，且and连接两个并列的谓语动词，它们的时态须保持一致，为一般过去时。故填advocated。 【65题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他对中国在赞比亚等非洲国家所扶持的经济区表示满意，因为在这些地区，制造业正在蓬勃发展。先行词economic zones表示抽象的地点，关系词在这个定语从句中充当地点状语，因此要用关系副词where引导这个定语从句；此处可理解为先行词在从句作定语，用关系代词whose。故填where/whose。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，是国际校志愿者社团成员。上周你参加了由你校志愿者社团组织的“帮助社区老人跨越数字鸿沟”志愿活动。你认为活动组织方面有一些可以改进的地方。请给社团指导老师外教Miss Evans写一封邮件，说明问题并提出建议。 内容要点： 1.发现问题； 2.提出建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置。 Dear Miss Evans, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Miss Evans, I’m Li Hua from the Volunteer Club.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.” After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 注意: 1.续写词数应150左右: 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our, paper ‘s reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.“ Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years. On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the power to touch and connect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家报社工作，他们的吉祥物佩里被迪尔菲尔德高中的篮球运动员偷走了，调查得知是佩里退休了。阿什利本来想报道被偷这件事，但是作者说明了可能对选手和报纸的声誉造成的潜在伤害。最后阿什利放弃了，他们报道了佩里退休的新闻，这一报道取得了成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，阿什利坚持要报道‘迪尔菲尔德偷走了佩里’的故事”可知，第一段可描写作者反对这一决定，说明了其中的危害以及他们最后决定报道佩里退休的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“周四，报纸头版的标题是‘再见，佩里’”可知，第二段可描写报道佩里退休的新闻产生的影响以及取得成功。 2.续写线索：阿什利坚持报道被偷——作者指出危害——阿什利让步——报道佩里——引发讨论——故事取得成功——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/illustrate ②造成：cause/lead to ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①宝贵的：precious/valuable ②成就：fulfillment/achievement 【点睛】[高分句型1] To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie.

I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Niña weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being. I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives. I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed. I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze. 24. What is the author’s new perception of photography? A. It involves professional skills. B. It should carry deep meanings. C. It requires high-end equipment. D. It should produce beautiful pictures. 25. What inspired the author to create Blaze? A. Local environmental changes. B. Traditional Australian farming. C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D. Support from the local authority. 26. Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze? A. B. C. D. 27. What is the photo Blaze intended to be? A. A means of enhancing artistic taste. B. A strategy to beautify the landscape. C. A call to raise public awareness. D. A window to showcase local culture. C As the global population continues to expand, traditional farming methods are struggling to provide enough food. However, an innovative agricultural company in Compton, Los Angeles, may have the solution. Their revolutionary farming system could transform food production, offering remarkable efficiency and sustainability. It’s far from the storybook picture of a farm — no mud, no boots, no hens pecking in the yard. Unlike conventional farms, this high-tech facility operates without soil, heavy machinery, or pesticides. Instead, it relies on automation and advanced plant science to maximize output. Using precisely calibrated (符合标准的) LED lighting and nutrient delivery systems, the facility produces up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional farms while using just 10% of the water — and it can be replicated (复制) almost anywhere. The entire process — from planting seeds to packaging produce — is automated. From the moment a worker tips seeds into the sowing machine, robots take over. Nearly 80 plant scientists study best growing conditions for each plant, working with over 100 engineers who translate these findings into hardware and software solutions. “Plants are really just little software programs,” explains one of the scientists. By studying plant DNA without changing it, scientists can program qualities like growth, flavor, and nutrition. For instance, exposing plants to blue light at specific growth cycles creates leaves with a satisfying crunch at harvest. The same principles can enhance antioxidant levels in vegetables by up to 40%. Since crops never contact soil, pesticides, or human hands, they require no washing — reducing both water waste and contamination risks. One of the greatest threats to the natural world is habitat loss due to farmland expansion. If successful, farms like this could reduce deforestation while meeting food demands. Yet the high costs — including energy-intensive artificial lighting — may block global adoption, particularly in developing nations where infrastructure is limited. Could this be the future of agriculture? With its incredible efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and potential for worldwide replication, this high-tech farming model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world — if the challenges of scaling and affordability can be overcome. 28. What is the main feature of the innovative farming system? A. It demands water-free technology. B. It gets high yields with little input. C. It is widely introduced in the world. D. It mixes old and new farming methods. 29. What is the scientists’ major role in the process of the farming system? A. They are gene editors. B. They are machine operators. C. They are system monitors. D. They are plant programmers. 30. What may limit the worldwide spread of this farming system? A. Low public acceptance. B. Great farmland loss. C. Poor production facilities. D. High energy demands. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of agriculture? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. D We live in an age where every click, scroll, and purchase is tracked, analyzed, and used to serve us a “personalized” world. Algorithms, the invisible architects of this world, promise efficiency and satisfaction—why waste time on irrelevant content when a machine can curate your perfect feed? But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones. Proponents of algorithms argue that they simply “give people what they want,” framing choice as a democratic(民主的) ideal. Yet this logic is flawed. When a platform learns you prefer conservative news, it stops showing liberal perspectives; if you binge true-crime podcasts, it floods your queue with similar content. Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the “filter bubble”—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers. Worse, algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy. Outrageous claims and sensational headlines generate more clicks than nuanced analysis, so they rise to the top. A 2023 study found that 68% of users exposed primarily to algorithmic news developed more polarized(两极分化的) political views compared to those who sought out diverse sources intentionally. This isn’t just about information—it’s about how we form opinions. If we never encounter arguments that challenge our beliefs, we lose the muscle of critical thinking. Defenders counter that users can always “opt out” by adjusting settings or seeking alternative sources. But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them. The burden of effort falls disproportionately(不成比例地) on the user, while platforms profit from our intellectual laziness. Algorithms are not inherently evil, but their current design serves corporate interests over human flourishing. To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement. The alternative is a world where no one thinks for themselves, because no one has to. 32. What is the main argument of the passage? A. Algorithms should be banned for spreading misinformation. B. Personalization harms our ability to think critically. C. Users are fully responsible for their digital choices. D. Platforms profit from catering to diverse interests. 33. Why does the author mention the “filter bubble”? A. To illustrate the narrowing effect of Personalization. B. To explain how algorithms protect users from harmful content. C. To praise algorithms for creating a comfortable online space. D. To compare digital echo chambers with traditional media. 34. What do proponents of algorithmic fail to consider? A. Users’ ability to easily adjust their settings. B. The profit motives behind platform design. C. The passive nature of most digital consumption. D. The efficiency of personalized content delivery. 35. What does the author suggest to counteract the negative effects of algorithms? A. Regulating platforms to remove all recommendation systems. B. Encouraging users to actively engage with diverse viewpoints. C. Teaching algorithms to prioritize accuracy over engagement. D. Reducing screen time to avoid digital platforms entirely. 第二节（共5个小题；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。 When I show people this image and ask what they see, they mostly say a question mark with two periods. They often add that the two periods represent your past and future, and the question mark is today. They wouldn’t be wrong. As a society, we are either focused on not repeating the past mistakes or what we’ll do in the future. We make lists, track what we read, study, watch, or listen to, and think a lot on injustices that demand equality.____36____ What if I tell you that there’s more white space than actual markings in the image? White space — also called negative space — exists in design as the unprinted area that is purposeful.____37____ Jocelyn K. Glei describes it as balancing the page by letting elements breathe, enhancing focus. ____38____ Glei suggests applying white space to daily schedules to foster innovation and imagination. Other writings describe it as cultivating the mental capacity to play, explore, learn, and rest without guilt or distraction. By shifting focus to the white space, we invite creativity and transcend the ordinary, helping us become who we’re meant to be. Simply put, wherever you have goals and dreams, this is where you need white space in your life.____39____ Rather than being continually active, rushing from one activity to the next, set aside time to just hold hands. Do you want to be more creative and productive when you are trying to build a business or create income through writing? Then schedule white space into your calendar to nurture creativity. White space isn’t laziness; it’s intentional time for wisdom to flow. So, how can we introduce this concept into our daily routines? You can create white space by intentionally setting electronics aside and walking away from your smartphone.____40____ Just like a webpage’s white space draws the eye, a life with scheduled white space draws in possibility. A But here is where we get our focus all wrong. B. It supports visual integrity and draws attention. C. But our focus tends to skip the present moment. D. It creates an environment that fuels innovation and imagination. E. White space also comes from taking a walk or gazing at the breeze. F. Do you desire a deeper relationship with the special one in your life? G. If white space works so well in design, could it also improve our lives? 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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人空白处的最佳选项。 I often heard about people who became fluent in French within three months of moving to Paris.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.” After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右: 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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，现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Was the reason for the return.
