Red-light therapy is one of the newest popular trends in this market.(2024年，抗衰老产品市场规模达到约530亿美元。红光疗法是该市场最新的热门趋势之一)”可知，9月22日的播客围绕抗衰老领域的红光疗法展开。由此推知，追求年轻的老年人大概率会收听这类与抗衰老相关的节目。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Brain Implants Are Here, They Help — and They’re a Little Creepy中的“For people who have lost the ability to move or speak, BCIs can be very useful.(对于那些失去行动或语言能力的人来说，脑机接口设备非常有用)”可知，9月10日关于脑机接口的播客对行动或说话有困难的人有帮助。故选D项。 B Lea Salonga stands as a pioneering force in musical theatre, a Filipino star who gained an international reputation by originating the title role in Miss Saigon at 18 in London’s West End. This role launched her international career, earning her both Olivier and Tony Awards, and solidified her place in theatre history. Salonga’s journey began with singing at family parties in the Philippines. At six, she auditioned for The King and I, debuting at seven, and later joined Repertory Philippines, performing in musicals like Fiddler on the Roof and The Sound of Music as Brigitta. Raised in a musical household — her brother is a composer, conductor, and arranger — she had a relatively normal childhood, attending regular school, taking piano and ballet lessons, and being supported by her mother who managed her career. “My parents supported me, but they told me education is important,” she said. “They said show business is changeable, and I saw that too — some stars became nobody quickly.” She even enrolled in university to study medicine, planning to shift to psychology if theatre didn’t work out. Her achievements are groundbreaking. Miss Saigon made her a household name, and her Disney voice work expanded her reach. In Les Misérables, Salonga made history again as the first Asian Éponine on Broadway in 1993. Initially unfamiliar with the show, she soon became obsessed. “Just as Hamilton is now to musical lovers, Les Misérables was that to me. To this day, I’m sure I can recall most of the lyrics,” she said. Despite the challenge of playing a role traditionally held by white actors, she succeeded, later trying the role of Antine in a revival that embraced diverse casting. Most notably, she broke racial barriers in musical theatre, paving the way for Asian actors in leading roles on Broadway and beyond. Her connection to Les Misérables remains profound, and her upcoming tour, Stage, Screen and Everything In Between, will celebrate her career, including highlights from the show. 4. What made Salonga study medicine? A. Her parents forced her to choose a stable career. B. She aimed to switch to psychology after her medical studies. C. She and her parents considered show business unstable. D. Her brother failed to support her theatre career. 5. Which musical initially won Salonga’s global fame? A. The King and I. B. Miss Saigon. C. Les Misérables. D. The Sound of Music. 6. What is Salonga’s connection with Les Misérables? A. She played both Éponine and Antine as an Asian. B She was as obsessed with Les Misérables as with Hamilton. C. She starred in the original performance of the musical. D. She will leave out songs from the show in her tour to come. 7. Which of the following best describes Salonga’s career life? A. Use it or lose it. B. No sweat, no sweet. C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. He who dares wins. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了菲律宾音乐剧明星莉娅·萨隆加的职业生涯，包括其早年经历、标志性角色成就及在打破种族壁垒方面的开创性贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““My parents supported me, but they told me education is important,” she said. “They said show business is changeable, and I saw that too — some stars became nobody quickly.” She even enrolled in university to study medicine, planning to shift to psychology if theatre didn’t work out. (“父母很支持我，但他们告诉我教育至关重要，” 她说，“他们说演艺圈变幻莫测，我也亲眼见过——有些明星转瞬就过气了。”她甚至考上了大学攻读医学专业，计划要是演艺事业没成，就转行学心理学)”可知，萨隆加选择学医是因为她和父母都认为演艺界不稳定。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lea Salonga stands as a pioneering force in musical theatre, a Filipino star who gained an international reputation by originating the title role in Miss Saigon at 18 in London’s West End. This role launched her international career, earning her both Olivier and Tony Awards, and solidified her place in theatre history. (莉娅·萨隆加是音乐剧领域的开创性力量，这位菲律宾明星18岁时在伦敦西区原创了《西贡小姐》的主角角色，由此获得国际声誉。这一角色开启了她的国际演艺生涯，为她赢得了奥利弗奖和托尼奖，也奠定了她在戏剧史上的地位)”可知，最初让萨隆加获得全球声誉的音乐剧是《西贡小姐》。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In Les Misérables, Salonga made history again as the first Asian Éponine on Broadway in 1993. Initially unfamiliar with the show, she soon became obsessed. “Just as Hamilton is now to musical lovers, LesMisérables was that to me. To this day, I’m sure I can recall most of the lyrics,” she said. Despite the challenge of playing a role traditionally held by white actors, she succeeded, later trying the role of Antine in a revival that embraced diverse casting. (1993 年，萨隆加在《悲惨世界》中再创历史，成为百老汇首位饰演Éponine的亚裔演员。起初她对这部剧并不熟悉，很快便深深着迷。“就像如今《汉密尔顿》对于音乐剧爱好者的意义一样，《悲惨世界》当年对我来说就是如此。直到现在，我相信自己仍能回忆起大部分歌词，” 她说。尽管饰演这一传统上由白人演员担任的角色颇具挑战，但她依然取得了成功，后来还在一部倡导多元选角的复排版本中出演了Antine一角)”可知，萨隆加作为亚洲演员在《悲惨世界》中分别饰演了Éponine和Antine两个角色。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，萨隆加从菲律宾的家庭聚会唱歌起步，勇于挑战经典音乐剧角色，成为百老汇首位饰演相关角色的亚洲演员，打破了种族壁垒，其职业生涯体现了“勇于尝试就能成功”的精神。“He who dares wins.”意为“勇者胜”，最能描述她的职业生涯。故选D项。 C The influential philosopher Henry David Thoreau was born more than 200 years ago — and now a term he’s credited with introducing, “brain rot,” is the Oxford University Press’s word or phrase of 2024. Brain rot was selected by thousands of online voters. But in Thoreau’s work, particularly his 1854 book Walden, or Life in the Woods, he wrote about “brain-rot.” It was the first recorded use of the term, according to Oxford University Press. Today, brain rot (脑腐) reflects a worry that consuming the internet’s endless waves of viral posts and video clips, especially on social media, might numb one’s brain. In Walden, Thoreau used the term as he objected to oversimplification. He asked, “Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense?” “While England attempted to cure the potato-rot, will not any attempt to cure the brain- rot, which is popular so much more widely and fataly?” To better get a sense of how Thoreau saw brain rot in the 1800s, NPR contacted Cristin Ellis, an authority on Thoreau who teaches literature at the University of Mississippi. “For Thoreau, ‘brain-rot’ describes what happens to our minds and spirits when we hold back our inborn nature for curiosity and wonder,” Ellis says, “and instead resign ourselves to the unreflective habits we observe all around us — habits of fitting in, getting by, chasing profits, chatting about the latest news.” In today’s usage, brain rot is seen as a bad thing, sort of a cautionary term for what might happen to us if we get too distracted. “I think the definitions are related but Thoreau’s sense of brain rot is way more extreme,” Ellis says. “It’s not just TikTok dance crazes but virtually our entire 24/7 media culture — including the ‘serious’ news of newspapers — that Thoreau would accuse of underestimating our minds,” she adds. “Thoreau really values direct experience over our habits of consuming other people’s ideas at second hand,” Ellis says. “He wants us to go outside to feel and think something for ourselves; he wants us to get to know the places where we actually live.” “His point here is that whether or not things are worse now than they were, our task at all times is the same:to try our hardest to commit ourselves to the things that matter most in our brief and miraculous lives,” Ellis says. 8. The phrase “level downward to our dullest perception” most likely means: ________. A. simplify complex ideas overly B. lower educational standards deliberately C. ignore individual differences in learning D. prioritize physical over mental development 9. Which behavior would Thoreau NOT consider as “brain rot”? A. Reading news reports about social events. B. Spending weekends hiking and keeping a journal. C. Wearing designer brands to fit in new environment. D. Working overtime solely to maximize annual bonuses. 10. How does modern understanding of “brain rot” differ from Thoreau’s? A. Modern definition focuses on digital content overload. B. Modern definition emphasizes holding back curiosity. C. Modern definition highlights chasing profits inappropriately. D. Modern definition considers “brain rot” a temporary brain damage. 11. In which column may we find this article on a website? A. People Interview s & Opinions. B. Biographical sketch. C. Art & Design. D. Book Reviews & Features. 【答案】8 A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“brain rot”（脑腐）一词被牛津大学出版社评为2024年度词汇，追溯其源于梭罗的著作，对比其古今含义差异及梭罗的核心观点。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Today, brain rot (脑腐) reflects a worry that consuming the internet’s endless waves of viral posts and video clips, especially on social media, might numb one’s brain. In Walden, Thoreau used the term as he objected to oversimplification. He asked, “Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense?”(如今，“脑腐”反映了一种担忧：沉迷于互联网上源源不断的爆款帖子和视频片段，尤其是社交媒体平台上的内容，可能会让大脑变得麻木迟钝。在《瓦尔登湖》中，梭罗使用这个术语是为了反对过度简化。他问道：“为什么我们总是level downward to our dullest perception，还把这称赞为常识呢？”)”可知，文章明确提到梭罗使用“脑腐”一词是为了反对过度简化。“level downward to our dullest perception”所在的问句正是他对这类现象的质疑，结合后文他批判当时社会中人们屈从于不加思考的习惯、思想变得浅薄等内容，可推断该短语意为把复杂的思想过度简化，与“simplify complex ideas overly”表意一致。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““For Thoreau, ‘brain-rot’ describes what happens to our minds and spirits when we hold back our inborn nature for curiosity and wonder,” Ellis says, “and instead resign ourselves to the unreflective habits we observe all around us — habits of fitting in, getting by, chasing profits, chatting about the latest news.”(“对梭罗而言，‘脑腐’指的是当我们压抑内心天生的好奇与求知欲，转而屈从于周遭那些缺乏思考的习惯——随波逐流、敷衍度日、追逐利益、热议最新新闻时，我们的思想与精神会发生的变化，”埃利斯说。)”以及第五段中的““Thoreau really values direct experience over our habits of consuming other people’s ideas at second hand,” Ellis says. “He wants us to go outside to feel and think something for ourselves; he wants us to get to know the places where we actually live.”(“梭罗真正重视直接体验，而非二手吸纳他人观点的习惯，”埃利斯说，“他希望我们走出户外，亲身去感受、去思考；他希望我们去了解自己实际生活的地方。”)”可知，梭罗认为“脑腐”是缺乏独立思考、屈从于无意义习惯的表现，而“周末徒步旅行并写日记”属于直接体验和独立思考，不会被他视为“脑腐”。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Today, brain rot (脑腐) reflects a worry that consuming the internet’s endless waves of viral posts and video clips, especially on social media, might numb one’s brain.(如今，“脑腐”反映了一种担忧：沉迷于互联网上源源不断的爆款帖子和视频片段，尤其是社交媒体平台上的内容，可能会让大脑变得麻木迟钝。)”以及第三段中梭罗对“脑腐”的定义可知，现代对“脑腐”的理解聚焦于数字内容过载，而梭罗的定义侧重抑制好奇心、屈从无思考习惯。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕“brain rot”一词的起源、古今含义差异展开，引用了梭罗的著作内容及学者对其观点的解读，属于对词汇文化内涵的探讨，最可能出现在网站的“书籍评论与专题”专栏。故选D项。 D The term “environmentalist” includes various interpretations. Traditionally, it referred to individuals committed to protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems. However, in the 21st century, this definition has evolved to highlight the urgent need to address human caused climate change. This distinction has led to splits within the scientific community regarding the role of nuclear energy. On one side are purists who argue that nuclear power presents unacceptable risks, claiming that the only solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. On the other hand, some experts recognize the critical importance of renewables but claim that society needs a dependable energy supply to meet consumers’ essential needs when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, significantly cleaner than fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, presents a persuasive alternative, especially in regions with limited hydroelectric capacity. Leon Clarke, a contributor to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, expresses careful support for nuclear energy, arguing it is essential for achieving carbon neutrality. “The essence of the matter is the extent to which we can realistically meet climate objectives with 100%renewables,” he remarked. “If one doubts our capability to achieve this yet cares about the climate, then considerations of nuclear energy become crucial.” The practicability of achieving complete renewables remains fiercely debated. For instance, cities like Burlington, Vermont, proudly declare their status as “100% renewable.” Yet, these areas often have small populations and occasionally depend on fossil fuels. In contrast, countries that successfully apply renewables typically benefit from extraordinary hydroelectric resources. Germany serves as a significant case study in transitioning to green energy. In 2011, Chancellor Angela Merkel launched Energiewende, aiming to phase out nuclear and coal energy while increasing renewables. Despite wind and solar power generation increasing over 400% since 2010, progress has come to a standstill due to network instability and public resistance, resulting in only an 11.5% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2010, slower than the EU average. 12. Which statement best describes today’s environmentalists? A. They are mainly concerned about wildlife and natural ecosystem conservation. B. They have divisions on nuclear energy’s role in tackling climate change. C. They all agree nuclear energy is the most reliable alternative to fossil fuels. D. They have abandoned the traditional concept of “environmentalist” entirely. 13. What is Leon Clarke’s attitude towards nuclear energy? A. Fully confident. B. Utterly skeptical. C. Cautious approval. D. Extremely opposed. 14. Why does the author mention cities like Burlington, Vermont? A. To highlight the superiority of fossil fuels in energy production. B. To argue against the use of renewable energy sources in urban areas. C. To illustrate that claims of 100% renewable energy can be misleading. D. To show cities can achieve 100% renewable energy without challenges. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traditional vs. Modern Definitions of Environmentalists B. How to Achieve 100% renewable Energy Globally C. Germany’s Failed attempts at Green Energy Transition D. Debates on Nuclear Energy in Climate and renewable Talks 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“环保主义者”定义的演变，引出科学界在核能应对气候变化作用上的分歧，并通过实例说明实现完全可再生能源的争议及德国能源转型的情况。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The term ‘environmentalist’ includes various interpretations. Traditionally, it referred to individuals committed to protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems. However, in the 21st century, this definition has evolved to highlight the urgent need to address human - caused climate change. This distinction has led to splits within the scientific community regarding the role of nuclear energy. (“环保主义者”一词有多种解释。传统上，它指的是致力于保护野生动物和自然生态系统的个人。然而，在21世纪，这个定义已经演变为强调解决人为气候变化问题的紧迫性。这种区别导致了科学界在核能作用上的分歧。)”可知，如今的环保主义者对于核能在应对气候变化方面的作用存在分歧。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Leon Clarke, a contributor to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, expresses careful support for nuclear energy, arguing it is essential for achieving carbon neutrality.(联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会的贡献者Leon Clarke对核能表示谨慎支持，认为核能对于实现碳中和至关重要。)”可知，Leon Clarke对核能持谨慎支持的态度，也就是谨慎认可的态度。C选项“Cautious approval.(谨慎的赞同)”符合题意。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The practicability of achieving complete renewables remains fiercely debated. For instance, cities like Burlington, Vermont, proudly declare their status as ‘100% renewable.’ Yet, these areas often have small populations and occasionally depend on fossil fuels.(实现完全可再生能源的可行性仍然存在激烈争论。例如，佛蒙特州的伯灵顿等城市自豪地宣称自己是“100%可再生能源”。然而，这些地区通常人口稀少，偶尔会依赖化石燃料。)”可知，作者提到像佛蒙特州伯灵顿这样的城市是为了说明宣称100%可再生能源的说法可能是有误导性的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The term “environmentalist” includes various interpretations. Traditionally, it referred to individuals committed to protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems. However, in the 21st century, this definition has evolved to highlight the urgent need to address human caused climate change. This distinction has led to splits within the scientific community regarding the role of nuclear energy.( “环保主义者”一词包含多种解释。传统上，它指的是致力于保护野生动植物和自然生态系统的个人。然而，在 21 世纪，这一定义已演变为强调应对人类活动导致的气候变化的紧迫性。这种区别导致了科学界在核能作用方面出现了分歧。)”以及通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍了“环保主义者”定义的变化引出科学界在核能作用上的分歧，接着阐述了不同人对核能的看法，还通过一些例子说明实现完全可再生能源的争议，整体围绕在气候和可再生能源讨论中对核能的争论展开。D选项“Debates on Nuclear Energy in Climate and renewable Talks(关于气候和可再生能源讨论中的核能辩论)”概括文章的主要内容，符合题意。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As technology like generative AI reshapes the workplace, it’s easy to assume that pursuing greater technical competence will help ensure a long and rewarding career. By this logic, firms are supposed to be searching for those with specialized knowledge and skills when seeking to fill entry-level roles amid a tough market.___16___ In our new study, we analyzed large-scale U. S. data on over 1,000 occupations across industries from 2005 to 2019, including 70 million job transitions, capturing hundreds of skills. We examined how people’s skills changed and developed over time, and over the course of their careers. We found that those who scored highly on basic skills were more likely to earn higher wages throughout their careers, move into more advanced roles, learn specialized skills more quickly, and be more adaptable to industry changes.___17___ Our study found that people with broad, strong foundational skills, including reading comprehension, basic math, and communication skills, tend to learn faster and master more complex abilities over time. Think of the NBA draft.___18___ Instead, they look for players with high potential — those with the right foundations like speed, agility, ball control, positional sense, and shooting form. These players may not shine on day one. But they often develop into stars because their foundation gives them room to grow. ___19___ Some firms famously hire people for their raw quantitative ability— not because they already know how to trade, but because they have the foundational math skills to learn fast and go far. ___20___ Startups, for example, may favor candidates with job-ready expertise. In other cases, firms in low-trust or high-turnover environments tend to deprioritize foundational skills because they don’t expect long-term maintaining. Still, for companies thinking beyond the next quarter, foundational skills matter. They shape a person’s growth path — and their long-term ceiling. A. Concrete examples show why. B. The same logic applies in the workplace. C. Teams don’t always pick the top college scorers. D. Of course, not every organization bets on potential. E. Previous research helps reveal why those skills are particularly important today. F. We also examined the ways they shape long-term performance and adaptability. G. But according to our new research, foundational skills may prove much more important. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过研究发现，基础技能比专业技能更重要。作者通过分析大量数据和举例说明，指出拥有扎实基础技能的人更容易获得高薪、晋升和适应行业变化。 【16题详解】 上文提到“As technology like generative AI reshapes the workplace, it's easy to assume that pursuing greater technical competence will help ensure a long and rewarding career. By this logic, firms are supposed to be searching for those with specialized knowledge and skills when seeking to fill entry level roles amid a tough market.(随着生成式人工智能等技术重塑职场，人们很容易认为追求更高的技术能力将有助于确保长期且有回报的职业。按照这种逻辑，在艰难的市场环境中，企业应该是在寻找那些有专业知识和技能的人来填补初级职位。)”可知，此处阐述了一种普遍认为的追求技术能力对职业重要的观点。G选项“But according to our new research, foundational skills may prove much more important.(但根据我们的新研究，基础技能可能被证明要重要得多。)”通过“but”进行转折，引出了与上文不同的观点，即基础技能更重要，符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“We found that those who scored highly on basic skills were more likely to earn higher wages throughout their careers, move into more advanced roles, learn specialized skills more quickly, and be more adaptable to industry changes.(我们发现，那些基础技能得分高的人在其职业生涯中更有可能获得更高的工资，晋升到更高级的职位，更快地学习专业技能，并且更能适应行业变化。)”说明了基础技能得分高的人在职场中的一些优势。F选项“We also examined the ways they shape long-term performance and adaptability.(我们还研究了它们塑造长期表现和适应能力的方式。)”中“also”表明与上文是递进关系，进一步说明研究的内容还包括基础技能对长期表现和适应能力的影响，承接后文具体的研究发现。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“Think of the NBA draft.(想想NBA选秀。)”提出了以NBA选秀为例进行说明。下文“Instead, they look for players with high potential — those with the right foundations like speed, agility, ball control, positional sense, and shooting form.(相反，他们寻找的是有高潜力的球员——那些有正确基础，如速度、敏捷性、控球能力、位置感和投篮姿势的球员。)”说明了选秀时更看重球员的潜力。C选项“Teams don’t always pick the top college scorers.(球队并不总是挑选大学里的得分高手。)”与下文内容相呼应，说明选秀不是只看大学时的得分情况，而是更看重潜力，符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 上文以NBA选秀为例说明了看重潜力(基础技能)的情况，下文“Some firms famously hire people for their raw quantitative ability— not because they already know how to trade, but because they have the foundational math skills to learn fast and go far.(一些公司以招聘具有原始量化能力的人而闻名——不是因为他们已经知道如何交易，而是因为他们有基础的数学技能，能够快速学习并走得更远。)”又以公司招聘为例说明看重基础技能的情况。B选项“The same logic applies in the workplace.(同样的逻辑也适用于职场。)”起到了承上启下的作用，将NBA选秀和公司招聘这两个例子联系起来，表明它们遵循的是相同的看重基础技能(潜力)的逻辑，符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文主要强调了基础技能的重要性，下文“Startups, for example, may favor candidates with job-ready expertise. In other cases, firms in low-trust or high-turnover environments tend to deprioritize foundational skills because they don’t expect long-term maintaining.(例如，初创公司可能更喜欢有现成工作技能的候选人。在其他情况下，处于低信任度或高人员流动率环境中的公司往往不重视基础技能，因为他们不期望长期留用。)”说明了一些公司并不重视基础技能。D选项“Of course, not every organization bets on potential.(当然，并不是每个组织都押注于潜力。)”起到了过渡作用，引出了下文关于不是所有组织都重视基础技能(潜力)的内容，符合题意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter day in 2009, Patricia Gallagher felt called to visit some nursing homes for Christmas.

They couldn’t travel far from their home in the small town because of the pandemic (疫情). However, their pet, a black cat named Spooky, wasn’t tied down by the circumstances, and managed to take an international journey. Lucy was amused that Spooky had crossed the American border at a time when it was closed to everyone except essential traffic, thanks to a strange truck driver’s kindness. “And the fact that he held out for so long under the truck is unbelievable,” she added and then shared the interesting story of Spooky. Spooky has an independent personality. He had joined the family in 2013. The cat lived indoors during the tough winters. “But the moment spring hit, he loved going outside,” Lucy says. Initially, Lucy wasn’t terribly concerned when Spooky didn’t return from an evening walk on July 22. “I thought he would turn up later,” she recalled. “But deep in my heart, I was a bit nervous that maybe he’ d been hit by a vehicle for we do live close to the highway.” As it turned out, Spooky had climbed into the engine bay of a parked truck. When the truck departed, Spooky became a wanderer. Somehow, he remained unharmed in that narrow space full of wires and soft pipes while the vehicle drove 143 miles from the west of America to Canada, then back down to America again. Meanwhile, there were lots of tears in Lucy’ s home. “My daughters were breaking down,” she said. “Spooky meant the world to us.” He had been missing for about 24 hours when the kids went to bed onJuly 23. On the same night, the truck’s driver Jack opened the bonnet (前盖) to perform a routine maintenance check. A pair of bright eyes stared up, surprising him a lot. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The unexpected passenger wore a collar with a phone number attached. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fortunately, Jack’s route would take Spooky back the next day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The unexpected passenger wore a collar with a phone number attached. Jack froze for a moment, and then slowly reached out his hand — Spooky arched his back slightly but he didn’t run, only lowering his head and letting out a soft “meow.” Jack dialed the number on the collar. When Lucy’s voice came through, it was shaky with worry. The cat leaned into Jack’s touch, his bright eyes softening. Jack smiled and said, “I think I’ve got your missing friend.” Spooky let out another quiet meow as if agreeing. Lucy sobbed with joy, and Jack could hear her daughters’ excited shouts in the background. Fortunately, Jack’s route would take Spooky back the next day. The next afternoon, Jack parked his truck at the small town’s gas station as promised. Lucy and her daughters were already waiting there, waving anxiously When Jack opened the truck door and set Spooky down, the cat darted straight into Lucy’s arms. The girls crowded around, petting Spooky’s fur and whispering his name. Before Jack left, Lucy handed him a homemade pie — “a thank-you for bringing our family back together,” she said. Spooky never wandered far from home again, as if he had learned to cherish his safe little corner with the people who loved him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以宠物猫斯普基的意外旅程为线索，讲述了疫情期间露西一家的黑猫斯普基外出后失踪，实则误闯入卡车引擎舱，随卡车跨美国和加拿大边境往返，最终被卡车司机杰克发现的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这位不速之客戴着一个项圈，上面附有电话号码。”可知，第一段可描写杰克发现项圈上的号码后拨通电话，露西接起时声音因担忧发颤，杰克告知找到猫咪，露西喜极而泣，电话那头传来孩子们兴奋的呼喊声的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“幸运的是，杰克第二天的路线会把斯普基送回去。”可知，第二段可描写杰克按约定将斯普基送到小镇加油站，露西和女儿们早已等候，斯普基飞奔入露西怀中，露西以自制派感谢杰克，此后斯普基不再远走，懂得珍惜与家人的时光的情景。 2. 续写线索：发现项圈号码——拨通电话联系露西——告知找到猫咪露西狂喜——杰克顺路送回猫咪——母女等候猫咪飞奔团聚——赠送礼物感谢——猫咪不再远走 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出：reach out/hold out/stretch out ②发出：let out/utter/emit ③珍惜：cherish/treasure 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/anxiety ②开心的：with joy/delighted/overjoyed 【点睛】[高分句型1] When Lucy’s voice came through, it was shaky with worry.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Spooky never wandered far from home again, as if he had learned to cherish his safe little corner with the people who loved him.（运用了as if引导方式状语从句以及who引导定语从句修饰people） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆一中高2026届高三11月期中考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名,准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．试卷由圈"整理排版。考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Even today, biologists don’t fully understand how a living cell works. Host Regina G. Barber interviews bioengineers Kate Adamala and DrewEndy. They explain the reasons behind scientists’ plan to build a cell completely from small parts. Why Some People Love Scary Movies Date: October 6, 2025 Fall is here and it’s a season often linked to fear and anxiety. In ancient times, fear helped humans stay safe — they ran away from animals that wanted to hunt them, and anxiety made them careful of possible dangers. But now, some people actively seek fear from scary movies or haunted houses. This program looks into this interesting phenomenon. Is Red-Light Therapy Worth the Promotion? Date: September 22, 2025 The anti-aging product market reached about 53 billion dollars in 2024. Red-light therapy is one of the newest popular trends in this market. You can see many claims on social media: using directed red light regularly brings all kinds of health benefits. But does scientific research support these claims? The program discusses this question. Brain Implants Are Here, They Help — and They’re a Little Creepy Date: September 10, 2025 Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices put into the body through surgery. They connect the human brain to a computer. For people who have lost the ability to move or speak, BCIs can be very useful.

B Lea Salonga stands as a pioneering force in musical theatre a Filipino star who gained an international reputation by originating the title role in Miss Saigon at 18 in London’s West End. This role launched her international career, earning her both Olivier and Tony Awards, and solidified her place in theatre history. Salonga’s journey began with singing at family parties in the Philippines. At six, she auditioned for The King and I, debuting at seven, and later joined Repertory Philippines, performing in musicals like Fiddler on the Roof and The Sound of Music as Brigitta. Raised in a musical household — her brother is a composer, conductor, and arranger — she had a relatively normal childhood, attending regular school, taking piano and ballet lessons, and being supported by her mother who managed her career. “My parents supported me, but they told me education is important,” she said. “They said show business is changeable, and I saw that too — some stars became nobody quickly.” She even enrolled in university to study medicine, planning to shift to psychology if theatre didn’t work out. Her achievements are groundbreaking. Miss Saigon made her a household name, and her Disney voice work expanded her reach. In Les Misérables, Salonga made history again as the first Asian Éponine on Broadway in 1993. Initially unfamiliar with the show, she soon became obsessed. “Just as Hamilton is now to musical lovers, Les Misérables was that to me. To this day, I’m sure I can recall most of the lyrics,” she said. Despite the challenge of playing a role traditionally held by white actors, she succeeded, later trying the role of Antine in a revival that embraced diverse casting. Most notably, she broke racial barriers in musical theatre, paving the way for Asian actors in leading roles on Broadway and beyond. Her connection to Les Misérables remains profound, and her upcoming tour, Stage, Screen and Everything In Between, will celebrate her career, including highlights from the show. 4. What made Salonga study medicine? A. Her parents forced her to choose a stable career. B. She aimed to switch to psychology after her medical studies. C. She and her parents considered show business unstable. D. Her brother failed to support her theatre career. 5. Which musical initially won Salonga’s global fame? A. The King and I. B. Miss Saigon. C. Les Misérables. D. The Sound of Music. 6. What is Salonga’s connection with Les Misérables? A. She played both Éponine and Antine as an Asian. B. She was as obsessed with Les Misérables as with Hamilton. C. She starred in the original performance of the musical. D. She will leave out songs from the show in her tour to come. 7. Which of the following best describes Salonga’s career life? A. Use it or lose it. B. No sweat, no sweet. C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. He who dares wins. C The influential philosopher Henry David Thoreau was born more than 200 years ago — and now a term he’s credited with introducing, “brain rot,” is the Oxford University Press’s word or phrase of 2024. Brain rot was selected by thousands of online voters. But in Thoreau’s work, particularly his 1854 book Walden, or Life in the Woods, he wrote about “brain-rot.” It was the first recorded use of the term, according to Oxford University Press. Today, brain rot (脑腐) reflects a worry that consuming the internet’s endless waves of viral posts and video clips, especially on social media, might numb one’s brain. In Walden, Thoreau used the term as he objected to oversimplification. He asked, “Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense?” “While England attempted to cure the potato-rot, will not any attempt to cure the brain- rot, which is popular so much more widely and fataly?” To better get a sense of how Thoreau saw brain rot in the 1800s, NPR contacted Cristin Ellis, an authority on Thoreau who teaches literature at the University of Mississippi. “For Thoreau, ‘brain-rot’ describes what happens to our minds and spirits when we hold back our inborn nature for curiosity and wonder,” Ellis says, “and instead resign ourselves to the unreflective habits we observe all around us — habits of fitting in, getting by, chasing profits, chatting about the latest news.” In today’s usage, brain rot is seen as a bad thing, sort of a cautionary term for what might happen to us if we get too distracted. “I think the definitions are related but Thoreau’s sense of brain rot is way more extreme,” Ellis says. “It’s not just TikTok dance crazes but virtually our entire 24/7 media culture — including the ‘serious’ news of newspapers — that Thoreau would accuse of underestimating our minds,” she adds. “Thoreau really values direct experience over our habits of consuming other people’s ideas at second hand,” Ellis says. “He wants us to go outside to feel and think something for ourselves; he wants us to get to know the places where we actually live.” “His point here is that whether or not things are worse now than they were, our task at all times is the same:to try our hardest to commit ourselves to the things that matter most in our brief and miraculous lives,” Ellis says. 8. The phrase “level downward to our dullest perception” most likely means: ________. A. simplify complex ideas overly B. lower educational standards deliberately C. ignore individual differences in learning D. prioritize physical over mental development 9. Which behavior would Thoreau NOT consider as “brain rot”? A. Reading news reports about social events. B. Spending weekends hiking and keeping a journal. C. Wearing designer brands to fit in new environment. D. Working overtime solely to maximize annual bonuses. 10. How does modern understanding of “brain rot” differ from Thoreau’s? A. Modern definition focuses on digital content overload. B. Modern definition emphasizes holding back curiosity. C. Modern definition highlights chasing profits inappropriately. D. Modern definition considers “brain rot” a temporary brain damage. 11. In which column may we find this article on a website? A. People Interview s & Opinions. B. Biographical sketch. C. Art & Design. D. Book Reviews & Features. D The term “environmentalist” includes various interpretations. Traditionally, it referred to individuals committed to protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems. However, in the 21st century, this definition has evolved to highlight the urgent need to address human caused climate change. This distinction has led to splits within the scientific community regarding the role of nuclear energy. On one side are purists who argue that nuclear power presents unacceptable risks, claiming that the only solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. On the other hand, some experts recognize the critical importance of renewables but claim that society needs a dependable energy supply to meet consumers’ essential needs when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, significantly cleaner than fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, presents a persuasive alternative, especially in regions with limited hydroelectric capacity. Leon Clarke, a contributor to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, expresses careful support for nuclear energy, arguing it is essential for achieving carbon neutrality. “The essence of the matter is the extent to which we can realistically meet climate objectives with 100%renewables,” he remarked. “If one doubts our capability to achieve this yet cares about the climate, then considerations of nuclear energy become crucial.” The practicability of achieving complete renewables remains fiercely debated. For instance, cities like Burlington, Vermont, proudly declare their status as “100% renewable.” Yet, these areas often have small populations and occasionally depend on fossil fuels. In contrast, countries that successfully apply renewables typically benefit from extraordinary hydroelectric resources. Germany serves as a significant case study in transitioning to green energy. In 2011, Chancellor Angela Merkel launched Energiewende, aiming to phase out nuclear and coal energy while increasing renewables. Despite wind and solar power generation increasing over 400% since 2010, progress has come to a standstill due to network instability and public resistance, resulting in only an 11.5% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2010, slower than the EU average. 12. Which statement best describes today’s environmentalists? A. They are mainly concerned about wildlife and natural ecosystem conservation. B. They have divisions on nuclear energy’s role in tackling climate change. C. They all agree nuclear energy is the most reliable alternative to fossil fuels. D. They have abandoned the traditional concept of “environmentalist” entirely. 13. What is Leon Clarke’s attitude towards nuclear energy? A. Fully confident. B. Utterly skeptical. C. Cautious approval. D. Extremely opposed. 14. Why does the author mention cities like Burlington, Vermont? A. To highlight the superiority of fossil fuels in energy production. B. To argue against the use of renewable energy sources in urban areas. C. To illustrate that claims of 100% renewable energy can be misleading. D. To show cities can achieve 100% renewable energy without challenges. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traditional vs. Modern Definitions of Environmentalists B. How to Achieve 100% renewable Energy Globally C. Germany’s Failed attempts at Green Energy Transition D. Debates on Nuclear Energy in Climate and renewable Talks 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。 As technology like generative AI reshapes the workplace, it’s easy to assume that pursuing greater technical competence will help ensure a long and rewarding career. By this logic, firms are supposed to be searching for those with specialized knowledge and skills when seeking to fill entry-level roles amid a tough market.___16___ In our new study we analyzed large-scale U. S. data on over 1,000 occupations across industries from 2005 to 2019, including 70 million job transitions, capturing hundreds of skills. We examined how people’s skills changed and developed over time, and over the course of their careers. We found that those who scored highly on basic skills were more likely to earn higher wages throughout their careers, move into more advanced roles, learn specialized skills more quickly, and be more adaptable to industry changes.___17___ Our study found that people with broad, strong foundational skills, including reading comprehension, basic math, and communication skills, tend to learn faster and master more complex abilities over time. Think of the NBA draft.___18___ Instead, they look for players with high potential — those with the right foundations like speed, agility, ball control, positional sense, and shooting form. These players may not shine on day one. But they often develop into stars because their foundation gives them room to grow. ___19___ Some firms famously hire people for their raw quantitative ability— not because they already know how to trade, but because they have the foundational math skills to learn fast and go far. ___20___ Startups, for example, may favor candidates with job-ready expertise. In other cases, firms in low-trust or high-turnover environments tend to deprioritize foundational skills because they don’t expect long-term maintaining. Still, for companies thinking beyond the next quarter, foundational skills matter. They shape a person’s growth path — and their long-term ceiling. A Concrete examples show why. B. The same logic applies in the workplace. C. Teams don’t always pick the top college scorers. D. Of course, not every organization bets on potential. E. Previous research helps reveal why those skills are particularly important today. F. We also examined the ways they shape long-term performance and adaptability. G. But according to our new research, foundational skills may prove much more important. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter day in 2009, Patricia Gallagher felt called to visit some nursing homes for Christmas.

They couldn’t travel far from their home in the small town because of the pandemic (疫情). However, their pet, a black cat named Spooky, wasn’t tied down by the circumstances, and managed to take an international journey. Lucy was amused that Spooky had crossed the American border at a time when it was closed to everyone except essential traffic, thanks to a strange truck driver’s kindness. “And the fact that he held out for so long under the truck is unbelievable,” she added and then shared the interesting story of Spooky. Spooky has an independent personality. He had joined the family in 2013. The cat lived indoors during the tough winters. “But the moment spring hit, he loved going outside,” Lucy says. Initially, Lucy wasn’t terribly concerned when Spooky didn’t return from an evening walk on July 22. “I thought he would turn up later,” she recalled. “But deep in my heart, I was a bit nervous that maybe he’ d been hit by a vehicle for we do live close to the highway.” As it turned out Spooky had climbed into the engine bay of a parked truck. When the truck departed, Spooky became a wanderer. Somehow, he remained unharmed in that narrow space full of wires and soft pipes while the vehicle drove 143 miles from the west of America to Canada, then back down to America again. Meanwhile, there were lots of tears in Lucy’ s home. “My daughters were breaking down,” she said. “Spooky meant the world to us.” He had been missing for about 24 hours when the kids went to bed onJuly 23. On the same night, the truck’s driver Jack opened the bonnet (前盖) to perform a routine maintenance check. A pair of bright eyes stared up, surprising him a lot. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The unexpected passenger wore a collar with a phone number attached. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fortunately, Jack’s route would take Spooky back the next day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
