However, unlike museums such as the Louvre or the Palace of Versailles, the space available for visitors is not expandable. Therefore, online booking is highly recommended, as you can reserve access on a specific date and time and avoid waiting at the ticket office. How much does it cost to visit the Eiffel Tower? Adult Rate Youth Rate Child Rate Disabled Ticket with access lift Second floor €23.10 €11.60 €5.90 €5.90 Ticket with access stairs Second floor €14.50 €7.30 €3.70 €3.70 Ticket with access lift The top €36.10 €18.10 €9.10 €9.10 Ticket with access stairs 2nd floor+ lift The top €27.50 13.80 €6.90 €6.90 The adult price applies to adults 25 years and over. There are discount rates for young people (12-24 years old), children (4-11 years old) and for visitors with disabilities and those accompanying them (maximum of one accompanying person per disabled person). Admission is free for children under 4 years old. The desired visit date is not available, what should you do? We sell our tickets online up to 60 days in advance (for lift tickets) and 14 days in advance (for stairs tickets to second floor). Certain days (weekends, days during peak season between July and August) are in high demand and we sell out quickly. If you are flexible, select another date that is shown as available. How many tickets can you buy? On the online ticket shop, you can buy up to 9 tickets for the same order. Tourism professionals who want to buy tickets, regardless of the number, must use the ticket office website dedicated to professionals. If e-tickets are sold out for the date/time or destination that you search, it is always possible to purchase tickets on site at the ticket offices at the monument. 1. Why is online booking recommended for visitors of The Eiffel Tower? A. The area accessible to visitors is continuously increasing. B.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了参观埃菲尔铁塔的相关信息，包括门票价格、预订方式、购买数量以及如果无法在线预订所需采取的措施等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Therefore, online booking is highly recommended, as you can reserve access on a specific date and time and avoid waiting at the ticket office.(因此，强烈建议在线预订，因为您可以预订特定日期和时间的入场券，避免在售票处等待)”可知，推荐游客在线预订埃菲尔铁塔门票是因为可以预订想要的日期和时间，同时避免在售票处排队。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Adult Rate(成人票价)”和“Ticket with access lift The top(乘坐电梯到达塔顶的门票)”对应的价格“€36.10”以及“Youth Rate(青少年票价)”和“Ticket with access lift The top(乘坐电梯到达塔顶的门票)”对应的价格“€18.10”可知，两位中年父母和他们的十几岁女儿乘坐电梯到达埃菲尔铁塔塔顶需要支付的费用为：36.10×2 + 18.10 = 90.30欧元。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If e-tickets are sold out for the date/time or destination that you search, it is always possible to purchase tickets on site at the ticket offices at the monument.(如果您搜索的日期/时间或目的地的电子票已售罄，您仍然可以在纪念碑的售票处现场购买门票)”可知，如果未能在网上购买到想要的参观日期的门票，可以在现场售票处碰碰运气。故选B项。 B In reality, I’ve hurriedly pulled up an email invitation on my laptop after getting my three kids ready for nap time. I sip some water and fix my bangs lightly. Zoom smiles on me today: I don’t have to install updates. Book club is already underway when I join, and I’m welcomed with waves and quick hellos. Two years ago, I didn’t know most of the folks on this call. Now I smile and wave back, feeling myself shift gears. The busy working mom yields to a version of my undergrad English major self, something that I, one of three lawyers in our group of eight, don’t get to do very often. Today we’re discussing Rental House, Weike Wang’s most recent novel. The plot was rather simple: A couple visits two different rental houses, a few years apart. I had found myself speed-reading by the end of it, just wanting to be done, and, during the call, I discover I’m not the only one who didn’t particularly like it. Over the course of the discussion, though, something I’d experienced countless times in my Stanford classes begins to happen again. As one person after another makes an insightful comment, my understanding deepens and my opinion morphs. Soon I’m jumping in with new observations of my own. Under our joint analysis, what had seemed hasty or lazy starts to look more like a deliberate attempt by the author to put her characters into scenes that were produced by their personalities. All too soon, it’s time to hang up (and naptime is over). I stand up from my laptop and head for my kids’ bedrooms. And a part of me, too, walks down the stairs and out into the late-afternoon sunlight, already looking forward to our next read. 4. What does the author do? A. A computer engineer. B. An undergraduate English major. C. A stay-at-home mom. D. A lawyer with three kids. 5. Why didn’t the author like the novel at first? A. The plot lacked depth and complexity. B. Other people have little interest in the novel. C. Speed-reading got in the way of comprehension. D. The characters in the novel are passive-aggressive. 6. What does the underlined word “morph” in paragraph 4 mean? A. change B. remain C. adapt D. emerge 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. No pain, no gain. B. Slow and steady wins the race. C. To go fast, go alone; to go far, go together. D. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一位有三个孩子的律师，在参加读书俱乐部讨论小说《Rental House》的过程中，从最初的不喜欢到通过集体讨论逐渐改变看法，并期待下一次阅读的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In reality, I’ve hurriedly pulled up an email invitation on my laptop after getting my three kids ready for nap time.(实际上，我刚把三个孩子安顿好睡午觉，就匆忙在笔记本电脑上打开了邮件邀请函)”和第二段中“The busy working mom yields to a version of my undergrad English major self, something that I, one of three lawyers in our group of eight, don’t get to do very often. (这位忙碌的职场母亲暂时回归了当年英语专业本科生的状态——在我们八人小组中身为三名律师之一的我，很少有机会重温这样的身份)”可知，作者是一位有三个孩子的律师。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The plot was rather simple: A couple visits two different rental houses, a few years apart. I had found myself speed-reading by the end of it, just wanting to be done, and, during the call, I discover I’m not the only one who didn’t particularly like it. (情节相当简单：一对夫妇相隔几年参观了两间不同的出租屋。到最后，我发现自己已经在快速阅读了，只想快点读完，在通话中，我发现我不是唯一一个不太喜欢它的人)”可知，作者最初不喜欢这部小说是因为情节相当简单，缺乏深度和复杂性。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“As one person after another makes an insightful comment, my understanding deepens (随着一个人接一个人发表有见地的评论，我的理解加深了)”以及后文“Soon I’m jumping in with new observations of my own. (很快，我就提出了自己的新见解)”可推知，随着其他人发表有见地的评论，作者的理解加深了，也提出了自己的新见解，说明作者的观点变了。所以划线词morphs意思是“改变”，与A项“change”同义。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“As one person after another makes an insightful comment, my understanding deepens and my opinion morphs. Soon I’m jumping in with new observations of my own. Under our joint analysis, what had seemed hat or lazy starts to look more like a deliberate attempt by the author to put her characters into scenes that were produced by their personalities. (随着一个人接一个人发表有见地的评论，我的理解加深了，观点也发生了变化。很快，我就提出了自己的新见解。在我们的共同分析下，那些看似草率或懒散的描写，开始更像是作者有意将自己的角色置于由他们性格所塑造的场景中)”和最后一段中“And a part of me, too, walks down the stairs and out into the late-afternoon sunlight, already looking forward to our next read. (我的一部分，也走下楼梯，走进傍晚的阳光下，已经开始期待我们的下一次阅读了)”可知，作者通过和读书俱乐部成员的讨论，加深了对小说的理解，改变了自己的看法，并期待下一次阅读，这说明了一起讨论、共同进步的重要性，故作者的经历表明“要想走得远，就要一起走”。故选C项。 C Recent research highlights that the timing of our meals, particularly the last one of the day, can significantly affect our health. The story is not merely about what we consume, but also about when we do so. The debate about dinner timing finds substantial, scientific support with a Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) study published in Cell Metabolism in October 2022, suggesting that early dinners could have more health benefits than previously believed. And it defined an early dinner as a meal consumed three to four hours before bedtime, in line with our body’s circadian rhythm (生理节奏). The BWH study discovered clear differences in metabolic (新陈代谢的) profiles of early and late diners. Early diners demonstrated lower blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, improved fat-burning capacity, better sleep quality, and higher energy levels. Meanwhile, late dinners led to increased hunger, slower calorie burning, and higher fat storage, posing risks for conditions like diabetes(糖尿病). The exact timing of dinner isn’t a one-size-fits-all choice, as people’s routines vary widely. Maya Feller, a nutritionist based in Brooklyn, NY, emphasizes that our schedules —ranging from traditional nine-to-five to round-the-clock — are critical when considering “ideal” meal times. Therefore, finding a dinner time that fits into your schedule is essential, rather than sticking to a strict, potentially impossible timetable. Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, offers insightful tips for those whose routines may not permit an early dinner. She recommends consuming meals or snacks every three to five hours. This regular eating pattern can help . stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the feeling of hunger. Furthermore, it’s advantageous to leave a gap of two to three hours between your last meal and bedtime. This gap ensures your body has sufficient time for most of the digestion process — letting you get adequate rest and repair during sleep. So it’s time to reconsider not just the contents of your plate, but also the clock. After all, leading a healthy lifestyle isn’t merely about counting calories but alșo understanding when and how to fuel our bodies. 8. What did the Brigham and Women’s Hospital(BWH) study mainly focus on? A. The recommended daily diet. B. Our body’s circadian rhythm. C. The drawbacks of early dinners. D. The importance of dinner timing. 9. What may be the result of having an early dinner? A. Having a strong sense of hunger. B. Storing up more fat in your body. C. Having a higher risk of diabetes. D. Enjoying a sound night’s sleep. 10. What advice does Wendy Bazilian give to the late diners? A. They’re supposed to grab some food every 5. hours. B. They’d better have access to adequate rest and repair, C. They should allow for digestion process before bedtime. D. They are advised to keep their blood sugar level stable. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Healthiest Time to Eat Dinner. B. We Are What We Eat. C. Benefits of Good Dietary Habits. D. Eating Less in the Evening. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了晚餐时间对健康的影响，并提供了关于如何合理安排晚餐时间的建议，帮助读者改善健康。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The debate about dinner timing finds substantial, scientific support with a Brigham and Women’s Hospital(BWH) study published in Cell Metabolism in October 2022, suggesting that early dinners could have more health benefits than previously believed. And it defined an early dinner as a meal consumed three to four hours before bedtime, in line with our body’s circadian rhythm(生理节奏).(2022年10月，布莱根妇女医院发表在《细胞代谢》杂志上的一项研究表明，关于晚餐时间的争论得到了大量科学支持，该研究表明，早吃晚餐可能比以前认为的更有益于健康。它将早晚餐定义为睡前三到四个小时吃的饭，符合我们身体的生理节奏。)”可知，布莱根妇女医院的研究和晚餐时间的重要性有关。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Early diners demonstrated lower blood glucose(葡萄糖) levels, improved fat-burning capacity, better sleep quality, and higher energy levels.(早点吃晚饭的人的血糖水平较低，脂肪燃烧能力增强，睡眠质量更好，精力充沛。)”可知，早吃晚饭的人睡眠质量更好。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Furthermore, it’s advantageous to leave a gap of two to three hours between your last meal and bedtime. This gap ensures your body has sufficient time for most of the digestion process — letting you get adequate rest and repair during sleep.(此外，在最后一餐和就寝时间之间留出两到三个小时的间隔是有益的。这个间隙确保你的身体有足够的时间进行大部分消化过程，让你在睡眠中得到充分的休息和修复。)”可知，Wendy Bazilian建议晚吃晚饭的人在睡觉之前要留出足够的时间进行消化。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Recent research highlights that the timing of our meals, particularly the last one of the day, can significantly affect our health. The story is not merely about what we consume, but also about when we do so.(最近的研究强调，我们吃饭的时间，尤其是一天中的最后一餐，会对我们的健康产生重大影响。问题不仅在于我们吃什么，还在于我们什么时候吃。)”、第二段“The debate about dinner timing finds substantial, scientific support with a Brigham and Women’s Hospital(BWH) study published in Cell Metabolism in October 2022, suggesting that early dinners could have more health benefits than previously believed. And it defined an early dinner as a meal consumed three to four hours before bedtime, in line with our body’s circadian rhythm(生理节奏).(2022年10月，布莱根妇女医院发表在《细胞代谢》杂志上的一项研究表明，关于晚餐时间的争论得到了大量科学支持，该研究表明，早吃晚餐可能比以前认为的更有益于健康。它将早晚餐定义为睡前三到四个小时吃的饭，符合我们身体的生理节奏。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了吃晚饭的最佳时间。故选A。 D Children who grow up speaking two languages develop strengths that shape the way they learn and connect with others. Bilingualism (双语) is often seen only as a practical skill for communication, but research in educational psychology shows it is far more. It fuels children’s learning capacity, social development, and emotional growth, allowing them to see the world through multiple perspectives. One of the most powerful benefits of bilingualism is its impact on higher-order thinking skills. Researchers call this the executive function advantage, the set of mental processes that support self-control, flexible thinking, and working memory. Switching between two languages gives children constant practice with these skills, making them better at focusing, solving problems, and adapting to challenges in school and beyond. Research supports this advantage. A recent study in Egypt looked at children who spoke Arabic at home and English at school and some of those who only spoke Arabic. The results showed that bilingual children kept pace in both languages and, more importantly, outperformed their monolingual (单语的) peers in reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. Findings like this challenge the idea that learning two languages slows development and instead show that bilingualism fuels intellectual growth. Equally important are the social and emotional rewards that bilingualism offers. Children who speak two languages learn to navigate between cultures, and this exposure fosters empathy, respect, and an early ability to see life from multiple perspectives. When they engage in conversations across two linguistic systems, children begin to appreciate differences in communication and thinking, which nurtures deeper connections with their peers and strengthens their social competence. Some concerns about bilingualism still linger. Parents and teachers sometimes worry that children will lag behind if they try to master two languages simultaneously. Others believe that maintaining a family’s native language slows assimilation (同化) into mainstream culture Research shows the opposite. Children who continue using their home language often acquire English more effectively, and the connection to family culture strengthens, not weakens, their ability to thrive in diverse settings. Far from being a barrier, bilingualism enriches both learning and belonging. 12. What is Bilingualism usually regarded as? A. A fuel to improve learning capacity. B. A perspective to see the world. C. A useful skill to communicate with others. D. A way to connect with others. 13. How does the research support the executive function advantage? A. It observed children who spoke English at school. B. It compared the bilingual children with the monolingual ones. C. It looked at children who spoke Arabic at home. D. It collected and studied the data from previous studies. 14. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Bilingual children tend to get an ability to see life from multiple perspectives. B. Bilingual students will lag behind as they spend time mastering two languages. C. Bilingualism is a barrier between native culture and mainstream culture. D. Children who speak one language can foster empathy and respect more easily. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards bilingualism? A. negative. B. indifferent. C. critical. D. favorable. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍双语能力对儿童学习、社交和情感发展的多重益处，反驳对双语学习的常见担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Bilingualism(双语)is often seen only as a practical skill for communication(双语通常仅被视为一种实用的交流技能)”可知，双语通常被认为是一种有用的交流技能。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ Research supports this advantage. A recent study in Egypt looked at children who spoke Arabic at home and English at school and some of those who only spoke Arabic. The results showed that bilingual children kept pace in both languages and, more importantly, outperformed their monolingual (单语的) peers in reasoning, memory, and problem-solving.(埃及最近的一项研究观察了在家说阿拉伯语、在学校说英语的儿童以及一些只说阿拉伯语的儿童。结果显示，双语儿童在推理、记忆和解决问题方面表现优于单语同龄人。)”可知，研究通过对比双语儿童和单语儿童的表现，证明了双语带来的执行功能优势。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Children who speak two languages learn to navigate between cultures, and this exposure fosters empathy, respect, and an early ability to see life from multiple perspectives.(说两种语言的儿童学会在不同文化间周旋，这种接触培养了他们的同理心、尊重意识，以及早期从多个角度看待生活的能力。)”可知，双语儿童往往具备从多个角度看待生活的能力。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者多次强调双语对儿童思维、社交和情感发展的积极作用，还反驳了“双语会阻碍发展”“影响融入主流文化”等担忧，最后指出“Far from being a barrier, bilingualism enriches both learning and belonging.(双语绝非障碍，反而能丰富学习体验和归属感。)”，可见作者对双语能力持支持态度。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We often view boredom as an unpleasant feeling to be avoided at all costs. We reach for our smartphones at the first sign of it, seeking immediate distraction. However, a growing body of research suggests that boredom should not be dismissed so easily. ____16____. One of the key benefits of boredom is its ability to boost creativity. When we are bored, our minds are not focused on a specific task. ____17____ This daydreaming state allows our brains to make new connections, leading to novel ideas and solutions. Many great thinkers have credited their breakthroughs to moments of idle contemplation (沉思). Furthermore, boredom can act as a crucial signal. It informs us that our current activity is not engaging or meaningful. ____18____. It pushes us to seek out new challenges, learn a new skill, or change our environment. In this way, boredom can be a powerful motivator for personal growth and goal-setting. ____19____. In our fast-paced world, constant stimulation can be overwhelming. Boredom provides a necessary mental break. It allows our brains to rest and reset, reducing stress and preventing burnout. This state of rest can improve our focus and productivity when we return to our tasks. Finally, boredom can encourage self-reflection. Without external distractions, we are forced to turn inward. We may think about our values, our relationships, or our long-term aspirations. ____20____. So, the next time you feel bored, consider resisting the urge to immediately scroll through social media. Instead, embrace the stillness. You might be surprised at what your mind can come up with when given the space to wander. A. Boredom can also serve as a form of mental rest. B. In fact, experiencing it in moderation can be surprisingly beneficial. C. Therefore, it is vital to find a balance between work and relaxation. D. Instead, they begin to wander, entering another mode of thinking. E. This internal dialogue is essential for developing self-awareness. F. Rather than feeling frustrated, we can interpret it as valuable feedback. G. Consequently, setting clear goals can help us avoid feeling bored. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出人们常极力避免无聊，实则适度体验有益。它能激发创造力、传递有价值的反馈、提供精神休息，还能促进自我反思，建议人们下次感到无聊时，不妨拥抱这份宁静。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We often view boredom as an unpleasant feeling to be avoided at all costs. We reach for our smartphones at the first sign of it, seeking immediate distraction. However, a growing body of research suggests that boredom should not be dismissed so easily.(我们通常将无聊视为一种令人不快且必须极力避免的情绪。一旦感到无聊，我们就会立刻掏出手机，寻求即时的消遣。然而，越来越多的研究表明，我们不应如此轻易地将无聊视为可忽略的问题)”可知，空格前语境为：人们常视无聊为需极力避免的不快感受，但越来越多研究表明不应轻易忽视无聊。选项B“事实上，适度体验无聊会带来意想不到的益处”，以“in fact”承接前文转折，直接点明核心观点，为后文阐述无聊的好处铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One of the key benefits of boredom is its ability to boost creativity. When we are bored our minds are not focused on a specific task.(无聊的一个重要好处在于它能够激发创造力。当我们感到无聊时，我们的大脑不会专注于某一项具体任务)”以及后文“This daydreaming state allows our brains to make new connections, leading to novel ideas and solutions. Many great thinkers have credited their breakthroughs to moments of idle contemplation (沉思).(这种幻想状态能让我们的大脑建立起新的联系，从而产生新的想法和解决方案。许多伟大的思想家都将他们的重大突破归功于那些闲暇时的沉思时刻)”可知，空格前语境为：无聊时大脑不会专注于特定任务；空格后提到“这种白日梦状态让大脑建立新连接”。选项D“相反，大脑会开始漫游，进入另一种思考模式”，“instead”呼应前文“不专注于特定任务”，“wander”与后文“daydreaming state”直接呼应，衔接自然。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Furthermore, boredom can act as a crucial signal. It informs us that our current activity is not engaging or meaningful.(此外，无聊情绪也能起到至关重要的警示作用。它向我们发出信号，表明我们当前正在进行的活动缺乏吸引力或意义)”以及后文“It pushes us to seek out new challenges, learn a new skill, or change our environment. In this way, boredom can be a powerful motivator for personal growth and goal-setting.(它促使我们去寻找新的挑战、学习新的技能或者改变我们的生活环境。这样一来，无聊感就能成为推动个人成长和设定目标的强大动力)”可知，空格前语境为：无聊是重要信号，告知我们当前活动缺乏吸引力或意义；空格后提到“推动我们寻求新挑战、学习新技能”。选项F“与其感到沮丧，不如将其视为有价值的反馈”，承接“无聊是信号”的表述，将“信号”转化为“反馈”，并引出后文“主动寻求改变”的结果，逻辑通顺。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“In our fast-paced world, constant stimulation can be overwhelming. Boredom provides a necessary mental break. It allows our brains to rest and reset, reducing stress and preventing burnout.

We may think about our values, our relationships, or our long-term aspirations.(最后，无聊能够促使我们进行自我反思。在没有外界干扰的情况下，我们不得不将注意力转向内心世界。我们可能会思考自己的价值观、人际关系或者长远的志向)”可知，空格前语境为：无聊时无外界干扰，我们会向内审视，思考自身价值观、人际关系和长期抱负。选项E“这种内心对话对培养自我认知至关重要”，“this internal dialogue”指代前文“向内审视、思考”的行为，承接“自我反思”的主题，点明其意义，收尾自然。故选E。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to believe that courage was a grand, loud thing — the kind found in epic tales and heroic deeds.

But let me tell you something, young man. Courage isn’t about not being ____27____. It’s about ____28____ to create something beautiful, even when your hand shakes.” His words struck me deeply.

After careful consideration, I’d like to vote for “Emotional Outlets” instead of “Futuristic Visions”. As high school students, we often face pressure from studies and relationships, but many of us struggle to find proper ways to release emotions. This topic is highly relevant for students, as it provides a platform to openly discuss emotions, stress management, and mental well-being. It would not only help improve our English expression but also create a supportive community where we can share experiences and coping strategies. This theme encourages empathy, self-reflection, and practical communication skills, making it both meaningful and engaging. I’m looking forward to the first episode! Yours, Li Hua 例文② Dear David, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to share my thoughts on the proposed podcast themes. After careful consideration, I would like to recommend “Futuristic Visions” as the theme for our weekly English podcast. I believe this topic will greatly engage students because it encourages creativity and critical thinking about technological advancements, environmental solutions, and societal changes. It aligns with our generation’s interest in innovation and allows us to explore diverse perspectives. Additionally, discussing future trends can inspire practical language use, as it involves describing possibilities, expressing opinions, and debating ideas. This theme not only enhances our language skills but also broadens our horizons. Thank you for considering my suggestion. I am excited about the podcast and look forward to contributing Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份给外教David写一封英文邮件，就创办每周英语视频播客的主题提出选择并阐述推荐理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 观点：opinion → view 压力：pressure → stress 相关的：relevant → related 提高：improve → enhance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：After careful consideration, I’d like to vote for “Emotional Outlets” instead of “Futuristic Visions”. 拓展句：After I have given it careful consideration, I’d like to vote for “Emotional Outlets” instead of “Futuristic Visions”. 【点睛】【高分句型1】This topic is highly relevant for students, as it provides a platform to openly discuss emotions, stress management, and mental well-being.（运用了as引导的原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】It would not only help improve our English expression but also create a supportive community where we can share experiences and coping strategies.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 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。 When in fifth grade, I had a big dream: I wanted to win the school’s Science Fair. The prize was a shiny gold medal, and every year, students from all the grades would gather in the gym to see who the winners were. I didn’t think too much about how to make it happen — I just wanted to win. However, there was a problem. I didn’t really have an idea for my project. I wasn’t sure what would be impressive enough to win, so I came up with a quick solution: I’d build a rocket. Rockets seemed cool, and I assumed if I made one that looked awesome, that should be enough. So, I went to the store with my mom and grabbed a bunch of supplies: cardboard tubes, glue, markers, and glitter (闪光装饰物). My plan was simple — make the rocket look amazing, and everyone would be impressed. I didn’t bother learning how rockets worked, and I didn’t think about running tests. I figured if it looked good, that would be all I needed to win. For the next few days, I worked hard on making my rocket shine. I glued the cardboard together, added fins to the sides, and covered the whole thing in glitter. It sparkled under the light, and I thought to myself, “This has to be enough.” But at the back of my mind, I knew, the Science Fair was supposed to be about learning and showing something scientific. Still, I ignored that feeling. As the Science Fair approached, I spent all my time on my rocket’s look. I didn’t do any research, didn’t learn about thrust or fuel, and definitely didn’t test anything. I convinced myself that would be enough. The big day finally arrived. I walked into the gym, proudly carrying my glitter-covered rocket. I set it up on the display table and watched as the judges made their way around the room. When they stopped at my project, my heart raced. This was my moment. 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。 One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” I froze. My stomach dropped. I hadn’t prepared for that question. “Uh…well, it’s a rocket,” I stammered. “It looks really cool and, um, shiny.” The judges raised their eyebrows. One of them asked, “Did you test it to see if it could fly? Did you research how rockets are built?” I felt my face turn red. “No,” I admitted. “I didn’t test it, and I didn’t really learn about rockets.” The judges nodded politely and moved on. My heart sank. Deep down, I knew I hadn’t really tried. When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. I didn’t win anything. My rocket, with all its glitter and shine, wasn’t enough. It wasn’t about how good it looked; it was about the effort and care that went into the project. I realized then that nothing’s enough if you don’t care enough to do it well. The next year, when the Science Fair came around again, I made sure my project wasn’t just cool to look at. I researched, I tested, and I cared about what I was doing. I didn’t win the gold medal, but I knew I had done my best. And that felt like a victory all on its own. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“我”参加学校科学展览的梦想为线索展开，讲述了“我”为了赢得金牌而制作了一个外表华丽的火箭，却因缺乏科学性和实用性而在展览上遭遇尴尬，最终未能获奖的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“其中一位评委轻声问道：‘你能解释一下你的火箭是如何工作的吗?’”可知，第一段可描写“我”面对评委提问时的尴尬与无奈，承认自己没有进行任何科学研究或测试。 ②由第二段首句内容“当奖项公布时，我的名字没有被叫到。”可知，第二段可描写“我”未能获奖后的反思与成长，以及第二年科学展览时“我”的改变和收获。 2.续写线索：评委提问——我尴尬回答——评委失望离开——我未能获奖——我反思成长——第二年科学展览——我认真准备——我虽未获奖但感到满足 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①研究：research/study ②测试：test/try out ③来临：come around/approach/arrive 情绪类： ①口吃：stammer/stutter ②礼貌地：politely/with courtesy 【点睛】[高分句型1] I realized then that nothing’s enough if you don’t care enough to do it well.

B In reality, I’ve hurriedly pulled up an email invitation on my laptop after getting my three kids ready for nap time. I sip some water and fix my bangs lightly. Zoom smiles on me today: I don’t have to install updates. Book club is already underway when I join, and I’m welcomed with waves and quick hellos. Two years ago, I didn’t know most of the folks on this call. Now I smile and wave back, feeling myself shift gears. The busy working mom yields to a version of my undergrad English major self, something that I, one of three lawyers in our group of eight, don’t get to do very often. Today we’re discussing Rental House, Weike Wang’s most recent novel. The plot was rather simple: A couple visits two different rental houses, a few years apart. I had found myself speed-reading by the end of it, just wanting to be done, and, during the call, I discover I’m not the only one who didn’t particularly like it. Over the course of the discussion, though, something I’d experienced countless times in my Stanford classes begins to happen again. As one person after another makes an insightful comment, my understanding deepens and my opinion morphs. Soon I’m jumping in with new observations of my own. Under our joint analysis, what had seemed hasty or lazy starts to look more like a deliberate attempt by the author to put her characters into scenes that were produced by their personalities. All too soon, it’s time to hang up (and naptime is over). I stand up from my laptop and head for my kids’ bedrooms. And a part of me, too, walks down the stairs and out into the late-afternoon sunlight, already looking forward to our next read. 4. What does the author do? A. A computer engineer. B.

To go fast, go alone; to go far, go together. D. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. C Recent research highlights that the timing of our meals, particularly the last one of the day, can significantly affect our health. The story is not merely about what we consume, but also about when we do so. The debate about dinner timing finds substantial, scientific support with a Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) study published in Cell Metabolism in October 2022, suggesting that early dinners could have more health benefits than previously believed. And it defined an early dinner as a meal consumed three to four hours before bedtime, in line with our body’s circadian rhythm (生理节奏). The BWH study discovered clear differences in metabolic (新陈代谢的) profiles of early and late diners. Early diners demonstrated lower blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, improved fat-burning capacity, better sleep quality, and higher energy levels. Meanwhile, late dinners led to increased hunger, slower calorie burning, and higher fat storage, posing risks for conditions like diabetes(糖尿病). The exact timing of dinner isn’t a one-size-fits-all choice, as people’s routines vary widely. Maya Feller, a nutritionist based in Brooklyn, NY, emphasizes that our schedules —ranging from traditional nine-to-five to round-the-clock — are critical when considering “ideal” meal times. Therefore, finding a dinner time that fits into your schedule is essential, rather than sticking to a strict, potentially impossible timetable. Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, offers insightful tips for those whose routines may not permit an early dinner. She recommends consuming meals or snacks every three to five hours. This regular eating pattern can help . stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the feeling of hunger. Furthermore, it’s advantageous to leave a gap of two to three hours between your last meal and bedtime. This gap ensures your body has sufficient time for most of the digestion process — letting you get adequate rest and repair during sleep. So it’s time to reconsider not just the contents of your plate, but also the clock. After all, leading a healthy lifestyle isn’t merely about counting calories but alșo understanding when and how to fuel our bodies. 8. What did the Brigham and Women’s Hospital(BWH) study mainly focus on? A. The recommended daily diet. B. Our body’s circadian rhythm. C. The drawbacks of early dinners. D. The importance of dinner timing. 9. What may be the result of having an early dinner? A. Having a strong sense of hunger. B. Storing up more fat in your body. C. Having a higher risk of diabetes. D. Enjoying a sound night’s sleep. 10. What advice does Wendy Bazilian give to the late diners? A. They’re supposed to grab some food every 5. hours. B. They’d better have access to adequate rest and repair, C. They should allow for digestion process before bedtime. D. They are advised to keep their blood sugar level stable. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Healthiest Time to Eat Dinner. B. We Are What We Eat. C. Benefits of Good Dietary Habits. D. Eating Less in the Evening. D Children who grow up speaking two languages develop strengths that shape the way they learn and connect with others. Bilingualism (双语) is often seen only as a practical skill for communication, but research in educational psychology shows it is far more. It fuels children’s learning capacity, social development, and emotional growth, allowing them to see the world through multiple perspectives. One of the most powerful benefits of bilingualism is its impact on higher-order thinking skills. Researchers call this the executive function advantage, the set of mental processes that support self-control, flexible thinking, and working memory. Switching between two languages gives children constant practice with these skills, making them better at focusing, solving problems, and adapting to challenges in school and beyond. Research supports this advantage. A recent study in Egypt looked at children who spoke Arabic at home and English at school and some of those who only spoke Arabic. The results showed that bilingual children kept pace in both languages and, more importantly, outperformed their monolingual (单语的) peers in reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. Findings like this challenge the idea that learning two languages slows development and instead show that bilingualism fuels intellectual growth. Equally important are the social and emotional rewards that bilingualism offers. Children who speak two languages learn to navigate between cultures, and this exposure fosters empathy, respect, and an early ability to see life from multiple perspectives. When they engage in conversations across two linguistic systems, children begin to appreciate differences in communication and thinking, which nurtures deeper connections with their peers and strengthens their social competence. Some concerns about bilingualism still linger. Parents and teachers sometimes worry that children will lag behind if they try to master two languages simultaneously. Others believe that maintaining a family’s native language slows assimilation (同化) into mainstream culture Research shows the opposite. Children who continue using their home language often acquire English more effectively, and the connection to family culture strengthens, not weakens, their ability to thrive in diverse settings. Far from being a barrier, bilingualism enriches both learning and belonging. 12. What is Bilingualism usually regarded as? A. A fuel to improve learning capacity. B. A perspective to see the world. C. A useful skill to communicate with others. D. A way to connect with others. 13. How does the research support the executive function advantage? A. It observed children who spoke English at school. B. It compared the bilingual children with the monolingual ones. C. It looked at children who spoke Arabic at home. D. It collected and studied the data from previous studies. 14. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Bilingual children tend to get an ability to see life from multiple perspectives. B. Bilingual students will lag behind as they spend time mastering two languages. C. Bilingualism is a barrier between native culture and mainstream culture. D. Children who speak one language can foster empathy and respect more easily. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards bilingualism? A. negative. B. indifferent. C. critical. D. favorable. 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。 We often view boredom as an unpleasant feeling to be avoided at all costs.

The prize was a shiny gold medal, and every year, students from all the grades would gather in the gym to see who the winners were. I didn’t think too much about how to make it happen — I just wanted to win. However, there was a problem. I didn’t really have an idea for my project. I wasn’t sure what would be impressive enough to win, so I came up with a quick solution: I’d build a rocket. Rockets seemed cool, and I assumed if I made one that looked awesome, that should be enough. So, I went to the store with my mom and grabbed a bunch of supplies: cardboard tubes, glue, markers, and glitter (闪光装饰物). My plan was simple — make the rocket look amazing, and everyone would be impressed. I didn’t bother learning how rockets worked, and I didn’t think about running tests. I figured if it looked good, that would be all I needed to win. For the next few days, I worked hard on making my rocket shine. I glued the cardboard together, added fins to the sides, and covered the whole thing in glitter. It sparkled under the light, and I thought to myself, “This has to be enough.” But at the back of my mind, I knew, the Science Fair was supposed to be about learning and showing something scientific. Still, I ignored that feeling. As the Science Fair approached, I spent all my time on my rocket’s look. I didn’t do any research, didn’t learn about thrust or fuel, and definitely didn’t test anything. I convinced myself that would be enough. The big day finally arrived. I walked into the gym, proudly carrying my glitter-covered rocket. I set it up on the display table and watched as the judges made their way around the room. When they stopped at my project, my heart raced. This was my moment. 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。 One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
