Here are four of the Istanbul’s best dining choices. Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut This famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood. One of the pleasures of dining here is the warmth of the owner of the restaurant, who can often be found walking from table to table to collect diners’ advice. And the food is also exceptional. Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab. Dates (椰枣) filled with cheese at Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot Among the streets of Balat, a simple door marks the entrance of Smelt &. Co. Gastro Spot. The chefs offer a seasonal menu mainly featuring vegetables and seafood, making the most of local products. While dishes rarely repeat, there’s one that seems to make regular appearances on the menu: dates filled with cheese. Turkish breakfast at Privato Cafe Located in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city. Guests are treated to a rich feast, starting with fresh tomatoes, salted olives, cheeses, and jams, many of which are made in house. Then comes the second wave: grilled spicy sausage, kebab and some sweet desserts. Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende Cadde One of Istanbul’s best- kept secrets is hidden in a side street. Nazende Cadde has only recently caught the attention of customers. It’s famous for dishes like grilled sweetbreads, but its typical achievement is the melt-in-your-mouth baby calamari. The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together. 1. What’s available in the first restaurant? A. Historical indoor decoration. B. Valuable advice from its owner. C. The best butter in Istanbul. D. The sweetbread kebab. 2. What do Sadrazam Mahmut and Privato Cafe have in common? A. They’re located in old neighbourhoods. B. They’re willing to take suggestions. C. They adopt homema de materials. D. They mainly provide seafood. 3. Which restaurant is most suitable for family gathering? A. Sadrazam Mahmut. B. Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot. C. Privato Cafe. D. Nazende Cadde. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是四个伊斯坦布尔的最佳用餐去处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut部分中的“Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab.(也许最好的菜是甜面包串)”可知，在第一家餐厅可以吃到甜面包串。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut部分中的“This famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood.(这家著名的餐馆位于历史悠久的Sütlüce街区)”可知，餐馆位于历史悠久的Sütlüce街区，结合Turkish breakfast at Privato Café部分中的“Located in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city.(位于历史悠久的加拉塔的下，这个热点提供了在城市最受欢迎的土耳其早餐自助餐之一)”可知，该餐馆位于历史悠久的加拉塔的下。由此可知，两家餐馆的共同之处在于它们都位于老街区。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende Cadde部分中的“The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together.(室外空间，热情的服务和丰富的菜单使它特别适合聚会)”可知，该餐厅的服务和丰富的菜单适合聚会。由此可知，最适合家庭聚会的是Nazende Cadde。故选D项。 B On the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried. In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared. Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.” However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard. “At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing. “I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said. Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said. 4. What did Dorestant worry about her son at first? A. He was frightened to meet his new classmates. B. He was embarrassed to pose for a photo. C. He might get lost on his way to school. D. He might be unprepared for the new term. 5. What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Worried. 6. What can we know about Dorestant’s video? A It went unnoticed. B. It made record profits. C. It put Corey in trouble. D. It was well received. 7. What did Dorestant advise parents to do? A. Believe their own judgement. B. Serve as an experienced guide. C. Give full play to kids’ potential. D. Teach their children everything. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位母亲在儿子第一天上学的时候帮助儿子做好上学的准备，但是儿子的一张照片让她发现事情的发展和她想的不一样。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.”(Dorestant分享道：“科里在别人面前会变得害羞和焦虑，所以我想确保他在新学校的第一天拍照时感到放松。”)”和第四段中“However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. (然而，科里在照片中的实际姿势远非他妈妈所期望的害羞甜美的笑容)”可知，起初Dorestant担心儿子会因害羞和不安而不好意思在人前摆姿势拍照。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由第五段中““At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. (“第一眼看到这张照片，我stunned；我花了大约五分钟的时间来处理，因为我简直不敢相信我所看到的，”Dorestant说)”可知，Dorestant简直不敢相信她在照片上看到的东西。由此推知，Dorestant在第一次看到照片时的反应是震惊的，划线词stunned与“shocked (震惊的)”意思一致。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中“Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. (Dorestant的视频有超过1800万的浏览量和25000条评论，许多人对结果感到惊讶。一位用户写道：“没有什么能让我为结局做好准备”，而另一位用户则评论说这是“最好的情况”)”可推知，Dorestant的视频引起了网友的共鸣，受到了好评。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中Dorestant说的话“As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own (作为父母，我们经常觉得有必要保护我们的孩子，让他们为这个世界做好准备，这可能会让我们对他们的准备感到焦虑，但我们需要相信他们的能力，给他们自己发光的空间)”可知，Dorestant建议家长们应相信孩子们的能力，给他们自己发光的空间，充分发挥孩子的潜力。故选C项。 C Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care giving and the strength of the human spirit. Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional mother love, and hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble. The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humor. Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits. Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. 8. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a new play. B. To provide humor in our daily life. C. To introduce the way to be humorous. D. To emphasize the importance of humor. 9. Which words can describe Mary Jane? A. Careful and friendly. B. Loyal and hardworking. C. Strong and humorous. D. Curious and sensitive. 10. What can we learn from the play? A. The audience seldom see Alex in the play. B. Mary Jane has no friends. C. Mary Jane never goes out to work. D Mary Jane has a considerate husband. 11. How do we know about Norman Cousins? A. He interacts with other mothers of disabled children. B. The community helps him a lot. C. He has a balanced diet. D He recovers from his illness by laughing a lot. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了幽默对身心健康的积极作用。文章以剧本《Mary Jane》为例，论述了幽默在应对生活挑战、减轻压力、改善情绪方面的作用，并引用Norman Cousins的例子和研究结果进一步证明，强调了幽默的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care giving and the strength of the human spirit. (即使在最黑暗的时期，幽默也一直被认为具有积极的作用。笑是一座桥梁，帮助人们度过痛苦。这体现在Amy Herzog的新剧《Mary Jane》中。该剧平衡了幽默和心碎，为关怀的考验和人类精神的力量提供了一个新的视角。)”和最后一段“Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. (研究也支持笑声和幽默的重要性，表明它可以减轻压力，改善情绪和恢复力。幽默积极而直接地影响着人们的健康。这表明幽默可以缓冲压力，改善整体心理健康。)”可知，文章主要是强调幽默的重要性。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble.(尽管面临所有挑战，Mary Jane的生活仍充满幽默，让观众从她的情感困扰中得到短暂的喘息。)”以及第三段“Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs.(Mary Jane努力满足工作需求，同时还要处理儿子持续的医疗需求。)”可知，Mary Jane在面对生活的重重困难时，依然保持幽默，且努力应对各种需求，说明她很坚强且幽默。选项C“Strong and humorous.(坚强且幽默)”符合题意。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience.(这部剧聚焦于角色的情感和心理体验，而不是Alex的实体形象，Alex大部分时间都隐藏在观众视线之外。)”可知，观众在剧中很少看到Alex。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep.(教授Norman Cousins记录了他通过每天大笑从重病中恢复的过程。Cousins发现，十分钟真诚的大笑具有麻醉效果，能让他至少有两个小时无痛睡眠。)”可知，Norman Cousins通过大量大笑从疾病中恢复。故选D项。 D Screens are replacing paper in almost every area of communication, but is this good for our mental health? Research shows that reading has many mental health benefits, yet most people choose screen time over books for entertainment. Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused. Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. This type of reading also uses simple language, offering less exposure to rich vocabulary and ideas. Research indicates that comprehension is six to eight times better with physical books than e-readers. While people may read faster on devices, distractions like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better. Holding a book, turning its pages, and highlighting favorite parts engage the body. Researchers say turning pages helps create a “mental map”, linking what we read to specific pages, which aids memory. The physical actions of reading a book— how you hold it, how your eyes move across the pages— create a unique experience. Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections. Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. Visiting a bookstore, asking a librarian for recommendations, or sharing a book with a friend are enjoyable aspects of reading. These social interactions are missed when downloading e-books. Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmarks. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience. 12. Why does digital learning challenge students? A. The content is too much. B. Digital devices are costly. C. The distractions are many. D. E-books are hard to find. 13. Which helps readers remember content better? A. Reading short media posts. B. Using e-readers to read. C. Surfing news websites. D. Reading physical books. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards physical books? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Tolerant. 15. What is the main focus of the text? A. Strengths of physical books. B. Benefits of digital learning. C. Dangers of digital devices. D. Changes in reading habits 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章对比了纸质书和电子书的阅读体验。作者认为纸质书在提高理解力、专注力、记忆力和提供社交体验方面优于电子书，并从多方面说明了纸质书的优点，表达了对纸质书的支持态度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused.(即使在学校，数字化学习也在占据主导地位，让学生的背包更轻，但也让学生难以集中注意力。)”以及第二段中的“While people may read faster on devices, distractions like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read.(虽然人们可能用电子设备阅读得更快，但社交媒体、广告和通知等干扰因素常常让他们记不住读过的内容。)”可知，数字化学习让学生面临很多干扰，难以集中注意力，因此对学生来说是一个挑战。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better.(纸质书提供了更沉浸式的体验，帮助读者更好地理解和记住内容。)”可知，阅读纸质书有助于读者更好地记住内容。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmarks. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience.(大多数人强烈偏爱纸质书。在一项研究中，92%的学生表示他们更喜欢纸质书而不是电子书。拿着一本书，欣赏它的封面，用书签看到自己的阅读进度，这些都有一种特别的感觉。阅读纸质书不仅能提高理解力，还能提供更丰富、更吸引人的体验。)”可知，作者对纸质书持支持态度，认为纸质书有很多优点。所以B选项“Supportive.(支持的)”是正确的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讨论了纸质书相对于电子书的优势，包括提高理解力、提供更沉浸式的体验、帮助记忆、提供社交体验等。因此，文章的主要焦点是纸质书的优点。所以A选项“Strengths of physical books(纸质书的优点)”概括文章主要内容，是文章的焦点。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever walked away from a conversation with the sinking feeling that you said too much? Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate — but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn’t really want to understand? ____16____ Over-explaining happens often in our daily life. This behavior originated in early survival strategies. For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households, clarity may be a form of self-protection. Anticipating others’ reactions, smoothing things over, or presenting a “bulletproof” reason may prevent punishment or emotional fallout. ____17____ People who have ever undergone trauma (创伤) tend to explain a lot to avoid conflict or rejection. Regardless of origin, the pattern is the same: We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space, to say no or to make choices others might not like. ____18____ Clear language like “I’ve made my decision.” and “Let’s shift the conversation.” can actually do the trick. These direct statements prioritize emotional honesty without over-disclosure. And they don’t leave space for negotiation where none is guaranteed. ____19____ You spend less of it in practicing, defending, or recovering, and you needn’t always react to others’ discomfort. You also start attracting a different kind of relationship. It is based not on performance or submission, but on mutual respect. ____20____ You begin healing the part of you that believed love had to be earned through explanation. The version of you who felt unsafe being misunderstood learns a new truth:Your worth was never conditional or dependent on being agreeable or persuasive. A. If so, you are not alone. B. But maybe the biggest shift is internal. C. Like any behavioral change, this takes practice. D. But it’s not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble. E. When you stop over-explaining, you reclaim emotional energy. F. Have you ever explained to show your politeness and consideration? G. Over-explaining can also come from the way your brain is wired by past experiences. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以生活中“对话后因过度解释而不安”的常见场景引入，深入分析了过度解释的起源，随后提出改变过度解释的方法，最后阐述停止过度解释带来的积极影响。 【16题详解】 根据前文以设问句“Have you ever walked away from a conversation with the sinking feeling that you said too much? Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate — but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn't really want to understand? (你是否曾在一场对话后离开时，带着一种自己说得太多的不安感？不是因为你无礼或考虑不周——而是因为你试图向一个根本不想理解你的人解释自己？)”引出“过度解释”的话题，此空需回应这种经历是否普遍。A选项“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样，你并不孤单)”中“if so”直接承接前文的设问场景，“not alone”既缓解了读者可能的孤独感，又自然过渡到下文“Over-explaining happens often in our daily life.(过度解释在日常生活中很常见)”的论述，符合语境。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Over-explaining happens often in our daily life. This behavior originated in early survival strategies. For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households, clarity may be a form of self-protection.(过度解释在日常生活中很常见。这种行为源于早期的生存策略。对于在情绪不稳定的家庭中长大的人来说，清晰的解释可能是一种自我保护方式)”可知，前文已提及过度解释的一个起源（早期生存策略与家庭环境），此空需补充其他起源。G选项“Over-explaining can also come from the way your brain is wired by past experiences.(过度解释也可能源于过去经历塑造的大脑思维模式)”中“also”体现递进关系，补充了“过往经历”这一起源，且与后文“People who have ever undergone trauma tend to explain a lot to avoid conflict or rejection.(经历过创伤的人往往会过多解释以避免冲突或被拒绝)”中“过往创伤”的具体例子相呼应，完善了“过度解释起源”的论述，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Regardless of origin, the pattern is the same: We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space, to say no or to make choices others might not like.(无论起源如何，这种模式都是相同的：我们花费不必要的精力，试图证明自己有权利占据空间、说“不”或做出别人可能不喜欢的选择)”可知，前文指出了过度解释的问题与负面影响，此空需转折并引出解决方法。D选项“But it’s not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble.(但要摆脱这个困扰并非不可能)”中“but”形成转折，打破前文“过度解释带来困扰”的负面氛围，“not impossible”传递出“可改变”的积极信号，自然引出后文“Clear language like ‘I’ve made my decision.’ and ‘Let’s shift the conversation.’ can actually do the trick.(像‘我已经做了决定’和‘我们换个话题吧’这样简洁的表达其实能解决问题)”的具体方法，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据后文“You spend less of it in practicing, defending, or recovering, and you needn’t always react to others’ discomfort.(你会少花精力去练习、辩解或恢复，也不必总是对别人的不适做出反应)”可知，后文描述的是“停止过度解释”后节省精力的好处，此空需总领该内容。E选项“When you stop over-explaining, you reclaim emotional energy.(当你停止过度解释时，你会重新获得情感能量)”中“reclaim emotional energy(重新获得情感能量)”直接概括了后文“少花精力在辩解、恢复”的核心好处，“it”指代“emotional energy”，与后文“spend less of it”形成呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You also start attracting a different kind of relationship. It is based not on performance or submission, but on mutual respect.(你还会开始吸引一种不同类型的关系。这种关系不基于表现或顺从，而是基于相互尊重)”可知，前文阐述的是停止过度解释带来的“外在关系”变化，此空需转折并深入到“内在”层面。B选项“But maybe the biggest shift is internal.(但或许最大的改变在于内在)”符合语境,引起下文。故选B项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

Angela felt her stomach twist into anxious knots, a familiar feeling that had become all too common lately. When Mr. Marx passed around a sign-up sheet. Angela chose the topic of tadpoles and also made sure to pick the very last time turn for presentation days. She wanted to put as much distance as possible between now and the moment she would have to speak in front of the class. As the weeks rolled by, Angela struggled with sleepless nights. Each time she closed her eyes, she imagined herself standing frozen in front of her peers, her mind blank, unable to recall even a single fact about her beloved tadpoles. Each classmate’s presentation felt like a countdown to her own impending doom. When the day finally arrived, Angela could barely eat breakfast. The toast sat untouched on her plate, an unpleasant reminder of her nerves. Her mind, like a whirlwind of anxiety, was unable to focus on anything but the ticking clock. Her heart pounded in her chest as Mr Marx called her name. With trembling hands, she gathered her note cards, their edges crinkled from her anxious grip, and slowly walked to the front of the room. The bright lights felt blinding, but she took a deep breath. “Tadpoles,” she began, her voice wavering slightly, “are frogs or toads at the beginning of their life cycle.” At that moment, she noticed Mr. Marx smiling and nodding encouragingly, a sense of relief washing over her. To her surprise, the words began to flow. 注意： (1)续写词数应为100个左右。 (2)请按照如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “So,” she said brightly after her presentation, “does anyone have any questions about tadpoles?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “So,” she said brightly after her presentation, “does anyone have any questions about tadpoles?” A few hands shot up, and Angela felt a thrill of excitement. One classmate asked about the time it takes for tadpoles to transform into frogs, and Angela, recalling her research, confidently answered that it usually takes several weeks to months depending on the species. Another student inquired about their diet, and Angela detailed how they eat algae and small organisms in the water. As she answered each question, her confidence grew, and she no longer felt like the nervous girl who had struggled to sleep the night before. When the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Angela realized that she had not only survived her presentation but had also enjoyed sharing her knowledge about tadpoles with her classmates. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了学生 Angela 因害怕公开演讲而选择最后一位上台，关于蝌蚪的演讲经历。在老师和同学们的鼓励下，她克服了紧张情绪，顺利完成演讲，并获得成就感，明白了勇于面对挑战的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““那么，”她在展示后愉快地说，“有人对蝌蚪有什么问题吗？”” 可知，本段可描写Angela在展示后，自信地回答同学们关于蝌蚪的问题，并逐渐克服紧张情绪的过程。以及Angela 通过这次经历，进行反思和感悟，她不仅克服了恐惧，还享受了分享知识的乐趣。 2.续写线索： 回答问题——自信增长——克服紧张——课程结束——享受过程——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 回答：answer /respond /reply ②享受：enjoy /relish /savor ③分享知识：share knowledge/deliver information 情绪类 ①自信增长：confidence grew/self-assurance increased/faith in oneself strengthened ②难以入睡：struggle to sleep/ have trouble falling asleep 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here are four of the Istanbul’s best dining choices. Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam Mahmut This famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood. One of the pleasures of dining here is the warmth of the owner of the restaurant, who can often be found walking from table to table to collect diners’ advice. And the food is also exceptional. Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab. Dates (椰枣) filled with cheese at Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot Among the streets of Balat, a simple door marks the entrance of Smelt &. Co. Gastro Spot. The chefs offer a seasonal menu mainly featuring vegetables and seafood, making the most of local products. While dishes rarely repeat, there’s one that seems to make regular appearances on the menu: dates filled with cheese. Turkish breakfast at Privato Cafe Located in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city. Guests are treated to a rich feast, starting with fresh tomatoes, salted olives, cheeses, and jams, many of which are made in house. Then comes the second wave: grilled spicy sausage, kebab and some sweet desserts. Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende Cadde One of Istanbul’s best- kept secrets is hidden in a side street. Nazende Cadde has only recently caught the attention of customers. It’s famous for dishes like grilled sweetbreads, but its typical achievement is the melt-in-your-mouth baby calamari. The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together. 1. What’s available in the first restaurant? A. Historical indoor decoration. B. Valuable advice from its owner. C. The best butter in Istanbul. D. The sweetbread kebab. 2. What do Sadrazam Mahmut and Privato Cafe have in common? A. They’re located in old neighbourhoods. B. They’re willing to take suggestions. C. They adopt homema de materials. D. They mainly provide seafood. 3. Which restaurant is most suitable for family gathering? A. Sadrazam Mahmut. B. Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot. C. Privato Cafe. D. Nazende Cadde. B On the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried. In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared. Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.” However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard. “At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing. “I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said. Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said. 4. What did Dorestant worry about her son at first? A. He was frightened to meet his new classmates. B. He was embarrassed to pose for a photo. C. He might get lost on his way to school. D He might be unprepared for the new term. 5. What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Worried. 6. What can we know about Dorestant’s video? A. It went unnoticed. B. It made record profits. C. It put Corey in trouble. D. It was well received. 7. What did Dorestant advise parents to do? A. Believe their own judgement. B. Serve as an experienced guide. C. Give full play to kids’ potential. D. Teach their children everything. C Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care giving and the strength of the human spirit. Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional mother love, and hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble. The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humor. Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits. Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. 8. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a new play. B. To provide humor in our daily life. C. To introduce the way to be humorous. D. To emphasize the importance of humor. 9. Which words can describe Mary Jane? A. Careful and friendly. B. Loyal and hardworking. C. Strong and humorous. D. Curious and sensitive. 10. What can we learn from the play? A. The audience seldom see Alex in the play. B. Mary Jane has no friends. C. Mary Jane never goes out to work. D. Mary Jane has a considerate husband. 11. How do we know about Norman Cousins? A. He interacts with other mothers of disabled children. B. The community helps him a lot. C. He has a balanced diet. D. He recovers from his illness by laughing a lot. D Screens are replacing paper in almost every area of communication, but is this good for our mental health? Research shows that reading has many mental health benefits, yet most people choose screen time over books for entertainment. Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused. Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. This type of reading also uses simple language, offering less exposure to rich vocabulary and ideas. Research indicates that comprehension is six to eight times better with physical books than e-readers. While people may read faster on devices, distractions like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better. Holding a book, turning its pages, and highlighting favorite parts engage the body. Researchers say turning pages helps create a “mental map”, linking what we read to specific pages, which aids memory. The physical actions of reading a book— how you hold it, how your eyes move across the pages— create a unique experience. Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections. Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. Visiting a bookstore, asking a librarian for recommendations, or sharing a book with a friend are enjoyable aspects of reading. These social interactions are missed when downloading e-books. Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmarks.

Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate — but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn’t really want to understand? ____16____ Over-explaining happens often in our daily life. This behavior originated in early survival strategies. For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households, clarity may be a form of self-protection. Anticipating others’ reactions, smoothing things over, or presenting a “bulletproof” reason may prevent punishment or emotional fallout. ____17____ People who have ever undergone trauma (创伤) tend to explain a lot to avoid conflict or rejection. Regardless of origin, the pattern is the same: We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space, to say no or to make choices others might not like. ____18____ Clear language like “I’ve made my decision.” and “Let’s shift the conversation.” can actually do the trick. These direct statements prioritize emotional honesty without over-disclosure. And they don’t leave space for negotiation where none is guaranteed. ____19____ You spend less of it in practicing, defending, or recovering, and you needn’t always react to others’ discomfort. You also start attracting a different kind of relationship. It is based not on performance or submission, but on mutual respect. ____20____ You begin healing the part of you that believed love had to be earned through explanation. The version of you who felt unsafe being misunderstood learns a new truth:Your worth was never conditional or dependent on being agreeable or persuasive. A. If so, you are not alone. B. But maybe the biggest shift is internal. C. Like any behavioral change, this takes practice. D. But it’s not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble. E. When you stop over-explaining, you reclaim emotional energy. F. Have you ever explained to show your politeness and consideration? G. Over-explaining can also come from the way your brain is wired by past experiences. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

Angela felt her stomach twist into anxious knots, a familiar feeling that had become all too common lately. When Mr. Marx passed around a sign-up sheet. Angela chose the topic of tadpoles and also made sure to pick the very last time turn for presentation days. She wanted to put as much distance as possible between now and the moment she would have to speak in front of the class. As the weeks rolled by, Angela struggled with sleepless nights. Each time she closed her eyes, she imagined herself standing frozen in front of her peers, her mind blank, unable to recall even a single fact about her beloved tadpoles. Each classmate’s presentation felt like a countdown to her own impending doom. When the day finally arrived, Angela could barely eat breakfast. The toast sat untouched on her plate, an unpleasant reminder of her nerves. Her mind, like a whirlwind of anxiety, was unable to focus on anything but the ticking clock. Her heart pounded in her chest as Mr Marx called her name. With trembling hands, she gathered her note cards, their edges crinkled from her anxious grip, and slowly walked to the front of the room. The bright lights felt blinding, but she took a deep breath. “Tadpoles,” she began, her voice wavering slightly, “are frogs or toads at the beginning of their life cycle.” At that moment, she noticed Mr. Marx smiling and nodding encouragingly, a sense of relief washing over her. To her surprise, the words began to flow. 注意： (1)续写词数应为100个左右。 (2)请按照如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “So,” she said brightly after her presentation, “does anyone have any questions about tadpoles?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
