House trading isn't the same as Airbnb or renting a room in someone's home:there's no exchange of money,no check-in desks or strict rules,which makes it feel more like staying as guests in each other's houses.Living in someone else's space builds a unique closeness- admiring their bookshelf picks,the way they arrange potted plants,or family photos on the fridge turns virtual strangers into familiar faces.We've even grown repeat trades into real friendships. On our very first trade,our partner welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some cheese in the fridge,and we've kept that gracious tradition going with our own"guests".Since then,we've encountered all kinds of thoughtful acts-from the young couple who left the keys in their mailbox along with a note that said"Enjoy!"to the family who provided piles of maps,brochures, and local restaurant menus.With these small "insider"tips,we don't just visit a city-we slip into its daily flow,free from the rush of moving from one landmark to another. Yes,house trading did begin with our desire to travel on the cheap,but it's become so much more than just a way to save money.It let us get glimpses of places we might never have explored otherwise,grew our belief in the warmth of strangers,and confirmed our decision to choose a lifestyle that values time over money.We all learned to share by the time we were in kindergarten,right?It's not too late to rediscover that simple truth on a whole new level. 24.What first made the author try house trading? A.To reduce travel expenses. B.To earn retirement funds. C.To upgrade accommodations D.To meet interesting people. 25.What is the feature of house trading? A.It involves money exchange. B.It offers long-term stay. C.It creates personal connection. D.It ensures hotel-like service. 26.Why does the author mention hosts'thoughtful acts? A.To suggest travel tips. B.To show local customs. C.To highlight special gains D.To instruct hosting skills 27.What message does the author convey in the last paragraph? A.Trust requires shared values. B.Sharing bears lasting worth. C.Budget travel cuts living costs. D.Early habits shape adulthood. 英语试题第4页（共10页) C Butterflies are sensitive to environmental changes,meaning they are important indicators of ecosystem health,but they are in decline.New research suggests butterfly numbers can be boosted by making small changes to road verges () While most studies on road verges and butterflies have focused on temperate climates with natural plants in rural areas,new research from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) examined planted vegetation along major roads in big cities of Singapore. Researchers surveyed 101 road verges,each at least 30m long,located along major roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 70 km/h,and planted with non-native bushes.They found verges with a mixture of different flowering plant species directly increased the total number of butterflies and butterfly species.A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar (sources for butterflies.This can attract more species of butterfles,especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers,"explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU's Asian School of the Environment. Selective thinning and less frequent cutting also benefited butterfly numbers and species diversity,with the verges seen as paths linking the insects to other green spaces.Slade says this could be because a greater variety of plant heights within road verges creates different micro-climatic conditions-variations in temperature,humidity (and light intensity-that appeal to different butterflies.More uniform plant heights created by frequently cutting verge plants can reduce the population of the butterflies and species richness and offer less protection. The study also showed busy roads negatively affect butterflies and butterfly species, particularly when traffic density (is higher;this typically occurs when road speed limits are higher,and vehicles travel faster.Roads with more traffic also have greater vehicle pollution, which can affect both plants and butterflies. But the researchers say the benefits of road verges could cancel out these effects if traffic speeds are proper.They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70 km/h,the bad cffeet3 of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights. 28.Why is NTU distinguished fiom previoas ones? A.It takes climate change into account. B.It focuses on ecosystems in rural area. C.It analyzes butterfly behavior in the forest. D.It investigates grown plants along urban roadsides. 29.Why is Eleanor Slade mentioned in paragraph 3? A.To explain research methods. B.To back the findings of the new study. C.To propose strategies for improvement.D.To prove the city is more suitable for research. 30.How can traffic's negative effects on buttcrflies be reduced? A.By frequently cutting verge plants. B.By planting diverse flowering species. C.By building barriers between roads and plants. D.By permitting plants to grow to a specific height. 31.Which is the best title for the text? A.Urban Butterflies Boost in Singapore B.Traffic Pollution Impacts Urban Butterflies C.Urban Roadside Flowers Attract More Butterflies D.Butterflies Benefit from Roadside Greenery in Cities 英语试题第5页（共10页) D The convenience of modern life is nothing short of astonishing.As I write this,my phone is wirelessly sending some hits from the 1700s to my portable speaker.The fact that,as a culture, we celebrate such convenience is understandable.That said,most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side. Before getting into that,we'd better understand why convenience is so seductive first.We often stop doing the things we need to do to make progress.Behind every well-intentioned plan lies this horrible sense of inertia.Why is this resistance-and our corresponding appetite for ease-such an essential part of our nature? Here,insights from evolutionary psychology (particularly the idea of "the evolutionary mismatch")can help.The evolutionary mismatch is the idea that we evolved for a hunter-gather lifestyle,and that while our circumstances have changed completely,our brains and bodies haven't.Resistance was a necessary counterbalance (to the bursts of intense activity that characterized the lives of hunter-gatherers:searching for food in driving rain,or running to escape a dangerous animal.It's the reason we still ask:"Do I really have to be doing this? Shouldn't I save my energy?"The people choosing to remain sheltered during snowstorms,when the prospect of obtaining food was low,were more likely to live and pass on their genes to the next generation. Since then,of course,innovation has changed things greatly.We've altered technology and our environments partly to serve our natural instinct (to conserve energy.The question is: what do we stand to lose by following our tendency to prioritize comfort and convenience? Continually choosing the convenient path reduces how well we can deal with unavoidable hardships.And,from an evolutionary perspective,some measure of discomfort is as crucial to our survival as rest and relaxation.Our ancestors didn't survive purely by being lazy,but through a combination of playing it safe and taking necessary risks. This difficulty itself does shape our character.In the technological world we have fashioned, we must sometimes make conscious efforts to act in opposition to our instincts.As a culture,we must remember while convenience feels good in the moment,our capacity to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary inheritance()too,and central to the adventure of life. 32.What does the underlined word"inertia"in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Laziness. B.Stubbornness.C.Inflexibility. D.Pessimism. 33.What does"the evolutionary mismatch mainly refer to? A.The contrast between modern convenience and ancient challenges. B.The argument over the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of ancient people. C.The inconsistency between personal goals and societal expectations. D.The conflict between our natural instinct and the current environment. 34.What may prioritizing convenience in modern life result in? A.A decline in physical fitness. B.Over-dependence on technology. C.Weaker ability to tackle difficulty. D.A lack of innovation and progress. 35.What's the author's purpose? A.To argue for convenience in modern life. B.To warn against overvaluing convenience. C.To illustrate public opinions on convenience. D.To stress the role of convenience in evolution. 英语试题第6页（共10页) 嘉祥锦江 2025年11月6日 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分) 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Is there anyone who couldn't spend a little less time on their phone?A digital detox ( may be just what you need.36When people hear the word detox,they may think it's a 装 strict all-or-nothing thing,but it doesn't have to be that extreme.Here are some ideas to get you started. It's one thing to say you're going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation,but it's quite another thing to actually do it.37 Once you get used to small blocks of time without it,it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it. If you're in a situation where you can't drop your phone,block out time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it.For example,spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day.38 2 Not to sound too much like a lecturing mom,but mealtimes should be quality time with your dining companions in real life.Quick-response codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too,since you're dining out with friends to spend time with them,not get absorbed in your phone.39 If you have to use your phone to order dinner,put it back in your purse as soon as you can. 40 Where you sleep,for example,should be a restful place,not a place to get worked up over social media posts.Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room,and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep. You are not alone as a digital addict. Keep your phone away from your bed. Ask for a paper menu whenever possible D.Specify some areas of your home as tech-free. E.Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon instead. It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology. g.You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby. 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Growing up in a large family,I wasn't a particularly matcrialistic person.I was 41 with the few toys I had and wore hand-me-downs without 42.However,upon reaching adolescence,I began to 43 myself to peers with the latest trends and felt 44 of what they owned.As an adult,my shopping addiction for temporary pleasure led to an accumulation of 45 stuff and stressed me out.

The car engine wasn't off before Grandma hugged me.I slowly dragged myself out of the car."Jude,you look unhappy.Why?"Grandma asked.She acted like nothing bad had happened last time.Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr.Jackson had lost because of my mistake?Was he still upset with me?"I'm fine,"I answered."I'm just missing my computer camp.Computers are something I'm good at.""That sounds disappointing,"Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer.Grandma lived alone,and Mr.Jackson was like family to her.Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds.He lost almast all his roses for the farmers'market. Now,back at the farm,I felt nervous.I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr.Jackson!He was opening the door and calling Grandma."I need help!"he yelled to her."Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!"That was when he saw me.I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism.I deserved it.He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However,Mr.Jackson greeted me happily,"Great,Jude is here!Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer."I shook my head."I am not competent.I am sorry I messed things up."He was surprised and comforted me,"It was an accident.Being competent doesn't mean you never make mistakes." I looked out of the window.There were piles of roses waiting to be sold."Jude,can you help us?We want to sell roses online.We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection,but we just can't set it up,"Grandma asked.No internet.They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Para 1.Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
