A
Sports are not a modern invention. People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures.
Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race
In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place when a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong.
Minoan Bull-Leaping
The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes.
Mesopotamian Wrestling
Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals. They showed fighters’ courage and strength.
Ancient Chinese Archery
In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order.
Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community.
1. What do Minoan bull-leaping and Mesopotamian wrestling have in common?
A. They followed strict ceremonies. B. They were physically demanding.
C. They were created to honor kings. D. They included fighting against animals.
2. What makes ancient Chinese archery unique?
A. It had flexible rules. B. It encouraged self-expression.
C. It helped build character. D. It served as public entertainment.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To stress the importance of sports and its practical roles.
B. To inform readers of modern sports and their basic features.
C. To show readers some ancient sports and their cultural value.
D. To discuss the possible origins and related theories of sports.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了古埃及、米诺斯、美索不达米亚和古代中国的四种古老运动及其特点和意义。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Minoan Bull-Leaping中的“In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns and leap over its back.(在这项运动中,运动员要径直冲向一头狂奔的公牛,抓住牛角并跳过牛背)”以及Mesopotamian Wrestling中的“These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals. They showed fighters’ courage and strength.(这些比赛非常激烈,选手们像野兽一样角力。这展现了选手们的勇气和力量)”可知,米诺斯跳牛和美索不达米亚摔跤的共同之处在于两者对体能要求都很高。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Ancient Chinese Archery中的“To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order.(要获胜,一个人既需要身体技能,还需要优雅、自律和尊重等品质。这些比赛常在寺庙举行,旨在弘扬道德价值观和维护社会秩序)”可知,中国古代射箭的独特之处在于它有助于培养人的品格。故选C项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures.(自古以来,世界各地的人们都喜爱着既刺激又有意义的运动。以下是来自不同文化的一些古代运动案例)”以及最后一段“Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community.(尽管古代体育运动的形式和目的各不相同,但它们都强调技术的价值。除了单纯的竞争之外,这些活动还深深融入了他们的社会,反映了文化信仰,塑造了一种社区意识)”可知,本文的目的是向读者介绍一些古代运动及其文化价值。故选C项。
B
The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding communities exhibit varying attitudes towards snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance towards snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.
Attitudes towards snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public views, fostering hostility and fear towards wolves.
Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympathetic carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter towards wolves.
Interestingly, this difference exists despite both the snow leopard and the Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.
4. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in Paragraph 1?
A. Top predators always cause herd animals loss.
B. Locals tolerate different top predators equally.
C. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators.
D. More harmful predators are more accepted locally.
5. What can we know about the influence of folklore?
A. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance greatly.
B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of the two animals.
C. It shapes various attitudes towards the two animals.
D. It pushes people to protect sympathetic carnivores overall.
6. What does the underlined word “neglecting” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Reflecting. B. Inspiring. C. Establishing. D. Ignoring.
7. Why does the author say a balanced conservation approach is needed?
A. Because current imbalance harms wolves even more.
B. Because the locals lack animal protection awareness.
C. Because wolves have the maximal attention and resources.
D. Because snow leopards are harmful to ecological balance.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了喜马拉雅地区的雪豹和狼均为关键顶级掠食者,但当地社区和环保政策对雪豹更宽容,而对狼持敌视态度,导致当前保护工作偏向雪豹,忽视狼的生态价值,亟需调整策略以实现均衡保护。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance towards snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated. (尽管雪豹造成的牲畜损失更大,但社区通常对雪豹表现出更高的容忍度和接受度。这体现了“捕食者悖论”——破坏性更大的捕食者反而更被容忍。)”可知,“捕食者悖论”描述的是破坏性更大的捕食者反而更被接受的现象。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public views, fostering hostility and fear towards wolves. (当地民间传说将雪豹描绘成与社区精神信仰有关的神圣生物,从而增强了人们对雪豹的敬畏。与人们对雪豹的敬畏相反,狼却广受厌恶和恐惧。这种负面观点源于民间传说,在民间传说中,狼被描绘成狡猾无情的掠食者。这些故事塑造了公众的观点,助长了对狼的敌意和恐惧。)”可知,民间传说塑造了对雪豹敬畏,对狼厌恶的不同态度。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter towards wolves. (这一错误减缓了对食肉动物的保护,并使当地社区对狼产生了怨恨。)”可知,关键政策文件存在错误,结果加剧了人们对狼的厌恶。由此可知,关键政策文件侧重雪豹,忽略了狼的生态价值,画线词意为“忽视,忽略”,与Ignoring“忽视,对……不予理会”意思接近。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively. (这种关注度和资源的不平衡加剧了狼面临的挑战,凸显了需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种。)”可知,作者认为当前保护的不平衡使狼的处境恶化,因此需要平衡保护策略。故选A项。
C
Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift.
The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has increased sharply. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can lead to lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Research has shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety.
That’s why we need to talk about money more often — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence.
We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological.
8. What is the primary function of the first paragraph?
A. To offer a suggestion. B. To lead into the main topic.
C. To stress the importance of saving. D. To present a research finding.
9. What may BNPL result in?
A. Improved financial knowledge. B. Easy access to digital credit.
C. Overspending and long-term debt. D. Decrease of small-amount expenses.
10. How can we build healthier financial habits?
A. By valuing financial education. B. By increasing small daily spending.
C. By ignoring debt-related problems. D. By relying on BNPL for most purchases.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Money’s Emotional Cost: Beyond Invisible Payments
B. Cash Shopping: The Healthy Way of Consumption
C. BNPL: A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending
D. Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨先买后付支付方式对人们消费心理和心理健康的影响,并提出应对财务压力的建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today.(但通过 Klarna 或 Clearpay 等支付服务,你现在可以分三期购买一部新手机,而且几乎感觉不到差别。这不仅仅是一种购物习惯;这反映了我们如今与金钱的关系)”可知,第一段通过对比过去现金支付和现在分期付款的购物方式,引出本文关于人们与金钱关系的核心话题,起到引入主题的作用。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can lead to lasting debt.(心理学家发现,当支付行为与购买行为分离时,我们感受到的“支付痛苦”会减少,这使得我们更容易超支。在数字信贷容易获得但金融教育有限的社会,这种行为可能导致长期债务)”可知,先买后付模式可能导致超支和长期债务。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame.(金融教育应被视为学校的必修课。此外,我们应该让债务相关的讨论常态化,以减轻人们的羞耻感)”可知,重视金融教育是养成健康财务习惯的一种方式。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological.(我们生活在一个金钱无形的世界里。但它带来的情感负担是非常真实的。如果我们开始关注这一成本,我们可能最终会不仅把金钱视为一种资源,还会把它视为一种与心理密切相关的东西)”可知,文章核心围绕支付方式无形化背后金钱带来的情感成本展开。因此A项“金钱的情感成本:超越无形支付”适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
D
There is a new type of camera that works in a way similar to human eyes, which may be extremely useful for those who study the stars and planets. It can clearly show both extremely bright celestial bodies (天体) and fainter objects in the same photo, and can also track fast-moving celestial bodies without motion-caused unclear images.
Traditional digital cameras work by checking pixels (像素) many times per second, recording data from every pixel each time. These new cameras, known as event cameras, work differently: A pixel is only checked when the brightness at that pixel’s location changes. If the brightness at a point on the sensor is the same as the previous reading, no new data is stored. This is similar to how human eyes collect sensory information.
This working method has advantages. For the same video, it stores less data as it only records pixels with changing brightness, and it can operate at a much higher rate. In addition, such cameras can show faint objects even with very bright ones nearby. This is because their pixels detect light in a different way instead of following a linear scale.
To explore the potential of this technology in the study of celestial bodies, Chetan Singh Thakur from the Indian Institute of Science and his colleagues installed these cameras on each of the two telescopes in India. They successfully got clear images of objects between the Earth and the Moon and also took pictures of the Sirius binary system, which consists of Sirius A, the brightest star in the night sky, and Sirius B.
Mark Norris from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, not involved in the study, pointed out that Sirius A is about 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B, which means traditional sensors can never show both clearly in a single photo. Meanwhile, Singh Thakur added, “These cameras are also excellent at detecting fast-moving objects due to their higher rates. Ordinary cameras would only produce unclear images.”
12. Who may benefit greatly from the new type of camera?
A. Designers. B. Astronomers. C. Performers. D. Composers.
13. Which statement matches the event cameras’ working mode?
A. They check pixels all the time. B. They tend to store the same data.
C. They record stable pixels’ locations. D. They focus on changing brightness data.
14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly show about the event cameras?
A. Their practical application. B. Their installation process.
C. Their major components. D. Their potential disadvantages.
15. What is Mark Norris’s attitude to the event cameras?
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Approving.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型事件相机,其工作原理类似人眼,仅记录亮度变化的像素数据,能同时清晰捕捉高亮和微弱天体,并跟踪快速移动目标。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“There is a new type of camera that works in a way similar to human eyes, which may be extremely useful for those who study the stars and planets. (有一种新型相机的工作原理类似于人眼,可能对那些研究恒星和行星的人极其有用。)”可知,该相机主要适用于研究恒星和行星的人,因此天文学家可能从这种新型相机中大大受益。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A pixel is only checked when the brightness at that pixel’s location changes. If the brightness at a point on the sensor is the same as the previous reading, no new data is stored. (只有当某个像素位置的亮度发生变化时,该像素才会被检测。如果传感器上某个点的亮度与之前的读数相同,则不会存储新数据。)”可知,这种相机的工作原理是仅记录亮度变化的数据。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“To explore the potential of this technology in the study of celestial bodies, Chetan Singh Thakur from the Indian Institute of Science and his colleagues installed these cameras on each of the two telescopes in India. They successfully got clear images of objects between the Earth and the Moon and also took pictures of the Sirius binary system, which consists of Sirius A, the brightest star in the night sky, and Sirius B. (为了探索这项技术在天体研究中的潜力,印度科学研究所的Chetan Singh Thakur和他的同事们在印度的两台望远镜上分别安装了这些相机。他们成功地获得了地球和月球之间物体的清晰图像,并拍摄了天狼星双星系统的照片,该系统由夜空中最亮的恒星天狼星A和天狼星B组成。)”可知,该段主要描述了这种相机在天文观测中的实际应用。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mark Norris from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, not involved in the study, pointed out that Sirius A is about 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B, which means traditional sensors can never show both clearly in a single photo. Meanwhile, Singh Thakur added, “These cameras are also excellent at detecting fast-moving objects due to their higher rates. Ordinary cameras would only produce unclear images.” (未参与该研究的英国中央兰开夏大学的Mark Norris指出,天狼星A比天狼星B亮约1万倍,这意味着传统传感器永远无法在同一张照片中清晰地显示两者。与此同时,Singh Thakur补充道:“由于更高的帧率,这些相机在检测快速移动的天体时也非常出色。普通相机只能产生不清晰的图像。”)”可知,Mark Norris肯定了事件相机相比于传统相机的优势:能同时捕捉亮度差异极大的天体,以及能检测快速移动的天体,因此他的态度是“认可”。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这一篇说明文。文章指出选择合适饮食虽复杂,但需先评估自身目标与健康状况、考虑现有饮食习惯,优质饮食注重平衡。同时强调改变应循序渐进,不可追求快速极端调整,需贴合个人需求。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Choosing the best diet for you can often seem as complex as rocket science. It requires a major commitment of time, effort, willpower, and in some cases, money. But where do you begin?(为自身选择最佳的饮食方式往往看起来就像是一项高深莫测的复杂任务。这需要投入大量的时间、精力、意志力,有时甚至还需要一定的资金。那么,你该从何处着手呢?)”可知,前文提出“选择适合自己的饮食看似复杂,该从何开始?”的疑问,需要一个承上启下的句子引出后续方法。G选项“Experts below walk you through choosing a diet for your unique goals and needs.”(以下专家将带你了解如何根据自身独特目标和需求选择饮食)直接回应了“从何开始”的疑问,自然引出下文的具体步骤(评估目标、考虑习惯等),逻辑衔接紧密。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“You can reflect on how they made you feel, both physically and mentally.(你可以思考一下他们给你带来的感受,包括身体上的和心理上的)”以及后文“Which positive habits do you already have and wish to continue?(你已经养成并且希望继续保持的哪些积极习惯呢?)”可知,前文提到“评估个人目标和健康问题,反思饮食带来的身心感受”,后文问“你已有哪些积极习惯并希望延续?”,需补充“考虑现有饮食习惯”的过渡。B选项“Meanwhile, you should also take your present eating habits into account.”(同时,你还应考虑自己目前的饮食习惯)中“Meanwhile”承接前文“评估目标”的步骤,“present eating habits”与后文“positive habits”形成呼应,填补了逻辑空白。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Starting a diet can be driven by a range of motivating factors. They include weight loss, disease prevention and saving money and the like. You will, however, probably picture weight loss as the driving one, because of the repeated marketing from the weight-loss industry.(开始节食往往是由多种因素驱动的。这些因素包括减肥、预防疾病以及节省开支等等。不过,由于减肥行业反复进行的营销宣传,你可能会认为减肥是主要的驱动因素)”可知,前文指出“减肥是饮食的常见动机,源于减肥行业的反复营销”,需进一步解释“为何减肥会成为主要动机”。F选项“New diet foods are continually introduced, often promising quick and easy results.”(新的减肥食品不断推出,通常承诺快速简便的效果)解释了减肥行业的营销手段(通过新产品和“快速见效”的宣传),呼应前文“repeated marketing”,同时为后文“But finding a diet that's right for you is more than weight loss.(但适合你的饮食不止是为了减肥)”做铺垫,形成转折逻辑。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据后文“They encourage the consumption of whole or minimally processed foods, which include a variety of fruits and vegetables, quality protein, whole grains and healthy fats. They emphasize limiting added sugars and salt. They allow flexibility so that families can eat together or you can go out to dinner without worrying about what to eat.(他们鼓励人们食用未加工或仅进行简单加工的食物,这类食物包括各种各样的水果和蔬菜、优质蛋白质、全谷物以及健康脂肪。他们强调要限制添加糖和盐的摄入量。同时,他们也给予了一定的灵活性,以便家庭成员能够一起用餐,或者您也可以外出就餐而无需担心吃什么)”可知,后文详细描述了“优质饮食的共同特点”(吃天然食物、多样搭配、限制糖盐、灵活适配生活),需一个总起句概括“优质饮食的共性”。E选项“What good diets have in common is that they are all about balance.”(优质饮食的共同点在于它们都注重平衡)是后文内容的核心概括,“balance”对应后文 “variety of fruits and vegetables”、“flexibility”等细节,总起全段,逻辑清晰。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Change won't happen overnight, and your diet is only one component of a balanced and sustainable approach to long-term lifestyle changes.(改变并非一蹴而就,而你的饮食只是实现长期生活方式转变的平衡且可持续策略中的一部分)”以及后文“Rapid and extreme changes may be difficult to sustain and could have negative effects as a result.(快速且剧烈的变化可能难以持续下去,并且可能会带来负面的影响)”可知,前文提到“改变不会一蹴而就,饮食只是长期生活方式调整的一部分”,后文强调“快速极端的改变难以维持,可能有负面影响”,需补充“设定现实预期,逐步适应”的观点。D选项“Setting realistic expectations needs to allow for gradual adaptation.”(设定现实的预期需要考虑逐步适应)与前文“change won't happen overnight”和后文“Rapid and extreme changes may be difficult to sustain”形成呼应,强化了 “循序渐进”的核心观点,逻辑一致。故选D。

【答案】 I’m Li Hua, and I’m glad to share my labor experience themed “Without Labor, Without Joy”.
Last spring, our class organized a community garden project. My task was to plant tomatoes. I dug holes, sowed seeds, watered them regularly, and pulled weeds patiently. After two months of hard work, the green vines were covered with red, juicy tomatoes. When I picked the first ripe one and tasted it, its sweetness filled my mouth.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mae Pratzel, a doctor from Manchester, experienced a bad day on Saturday. Without her realizing it, her ring had slipped (滑落) off her finger before she finished shopping at a supermarket and packing the things into her car. For Mae and her husband Alan, it was a big thing. The diamond at the center was the same stone Alan had given her nearly 50 years before, when they first met.
“It was one of the most terrible feelings,” Mae said. “We kept saying, ‘It’s just a ring,’ but it was more than that.”
While the Pratzels spent the night searching their home in despair (绝望), hope was quietly on the way.
On Sunday, in the busy parking lot of the same supermarket, 10-year-old Kal Blank, who lost much weight because of a serious illness, found something special on the ground. Kal had a habit of looking down — searching for treasures in unexpected places. Over the years, he’d collected bags of coins and crystals others paid no attention to. Sometimes, he could find something useful and then he would sell it to pay for his medicine.
This time, however, the “treasure” was no common find. Kal bent down and picked up what he thought was just another coin, only to realize it was heavy — far too heavy. He put it into his pocket, not knowing he was holding someone’s most valuable possession (财产).
Kal’s mother called the supermarket and made sure that someone had reported a missing ring that perfectly matched Kal’s find. While the supermarket was contacting the Pratzels, Kal was busy making the return special. He cleaned the ring and placed it inside a small box his mother had saved from a trip to Ireland, together with a handwritten note. With honesty only a child could have, Kal wrote, “At first, I kind of wanted to keep it because it was pretty. I hope you relax now that you have your ring back.”
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。
With the supermarket’s help, Kal and his mother finally met the Pratzels.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, the Pratzels showed up at Kal’s door.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
With the supermarket’s help, Kal and his mother finally met the Pratzels. As soon as the Pratzels opened the small box, the familiar diamond shone under the light, and Kal’s sincere note made Mae’s eyes teary. “This isn’t just a ring returned — it’s a piece of our love story saved by a kind boy,” Alan said, wiping away tears. They hugged the 10-year-old tightly, and Mae whispered that his honesty was more precious than any diamond. Kal just smiled shyly, saying he was glad to give the treasure back to its owner. At the same time, the Pratzels noticed Kal’s situation and decided to show their appreciation for his kindness.
Three days later, the Pratzels showed up at Kal’s door. Carrying a thick envelope, Mae, as a doctor, explained to Kal’s mother, “We know Kal’s gone through a lot, and we want to help him. We’ve contacted a specialist who treats his illness and in this envelope are the appointment letter and medical fees. ”Alan added, “His honesty saved our precious memory; let us help him get better.” Kal’s mother cried with gratitude, and Kal said thank you repeatedly. The small house was filled with warmth. No one knows a lost ring can turn into hope and a lifeline for Kal.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了 Mae 在超市购物后不慎丢失戒指,该戒指对她和丈夫 Alan 意义重大。第二天,生病且家境不好的 10 岁男孩 Kal 在超市停车场捡到戒指,他母亲联系超市确认失主,Kal 还对归还戒指做了精心准备,写了纸条放在装戒指的盒子里。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在超市的帮助下,Kal和他的母亲终于见到了Pratzel夫妇。”可知,第一段可围绕见面场景展开,Pratzel夫妇看到戒指和纸条后的感动,对Kal表达感谢,同时注意到Kal的状况,为后文帮助他做铺垫。
②由第二段首句内容“三天后,Pratzel夫妇出现在Kal家门口。”可知,第二段可描写Pratzel夫妇前来帮助Kal,说明帮助的具体内容,如联系专家、提供费用等,Kal母亲和Kal的反应,展现人与人之间的温暖。
2.续写线索:见面—— Pratzel夫妇看到戒指和纸条感动——表达感谢——注意到Kal状况——Pratzel夫妇前来帮助——说明帮助内容——Kal母亲和Kal的反应——体现温暖。
3.词汇激活
行为类:
①打开:open /unfold
②拥抱:hug /embrace
③联系:contact /get in touch with
情感类:
①高兴的:glad/delighted
②感激:gratitude /appreciation

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Sports are not a modern invention. People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures.
Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race
In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place when a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong.
Minoan Bull-Leaping
The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes.
Mesopotamian Wrestling
Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals. They showed fighters’ courage and strength.
Ancient Chinese Archery
In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order.
Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community.
1. What do Minoan bull-leaping and Mesopotamian wrestling have in common?
A. They followed strict ceremonies. B. They were physically demanding.
C. They were created to honor kings. D. They included fighting against animals.
2. What makes ancient Chinese archery unique?
A. It had flexible rules. B. It encouraged self-expression.
C. It helped build character. D. It served as public entertainment.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To stress the importance of sports and its practical roles.
B. To inform readers of modern sports and their basic features.
C. To show readers some ancient sports and their cultural value.
D. To discuss the possible origins and related theories of sports.
B
The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding communities exhibit varying attitudes towards snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance towards snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.
Attitudes towards snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public views, fostering hostility and fear towards wolves.
Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympathetic carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter towards wolves.
Interestingly this difference exists despite both the snow leopard and the Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.
4. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in Paragraph 1?
A. Top predators always cause herd animals loss.
B. Locals tolerate different top predators equally.
C. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators.
D. More harmful predators are more accepted locally.
5. What can we know about the influence of folklore?
A. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance greatly.
B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of the two animals.
C. It shapes various attitudes towards the two animals.
D. It pushes people to protect sympathetic carnivores overall.
6. What does the underlined word “neglecting” mean in Paragraph 3?
A Reflecting. B. Inspiring. C. Establishing. D. Ignoring.
7. Why does the author say a balanced conservation approach is needed?
A. Because current imbalance harms wolves even more.
B. Because the locals lack animal protection awareness.
C. Because wolves have the maximal attention and resources.
D. Because snow leopards are harmful to ecological balance.
C
Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift.
The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has increased sharply. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can lead to lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Research has shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety.
That’s why we need to talk about money more often — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence.
We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological.

There is a new type of camera that works in a way similar to human eyes, which may be extremely useful for those who study the stars and planets. It can clearly show both extremely bright celestial bodies (天体) and fainter objects in the same photo, and can also track fast-moving celestial bodies without motion-caused unclear images.
Traditional digital cameras work by checking pixels (像素) many times per second, recording data from every pixel each time. These new cameras, known as event cameras, work differently: A pixel is only checked when the brightness at that pixel’s location changes. If the brightness at a point on the sensor is the same as the previous reading, no new data is stored. This is similar to how human eyes collect sensory information.
This working method has advantages. For the same video, it stores less data as it only records pixels with changing brightness, and it can operate at a much higher rate. In addition, such cameras can show faint objects even with very bright ones nearby. This is because their pixels detect light in a different way instead of following a linear scale.
To explore the potential of this technology in the study of celestial bodies, Chetan Singh Thakur from the Indian Institute of Science and his colleagues installed these cameras on each of the two telescopes in India. They successfully got clear images of objects between the Earth and the Moon and also took pictures of the Sirius binary system, which consists of Sirius A, the brightest star in the night sky, and Sirius B.
Mark Norris from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, not involved in the study, pointed out that Sirius A is about 10,000 times brighter than Sirius B, which means traditional sensors can never show both clearly in a single photo. Meanwhile, Singh Thakur added, “These cameras are also excellent at detecting fast-moving objects due to their higher rates. Ordinary cameras would only produce unclear images.”
12. Who may benefit greatly from the new type of camera?
A. Designers. B. Astronomers. C. Performers. D. Composers.
13. Which statement matches the event cameras’ working mode?
A. They check pixels all the time. B. They tend to store the same data.
C. They record stable pixels’ locations. D. They focus on changing brightness data.
14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly show about the event cameras?
A. Their practical application. B. Their installation process.
C. Their major components. D. Their potential disadvantages.
15. What is Mark Norris’s attitude to the event cameras?
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Approving.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mae Pratzel, a doctor from Manchester, experienced a bad day on Saturday. Without her realizing it, her ring had slipped (滑落) off her finger before she finished shopping at a supermarket and packing the things into her car. For Mae and her husband Alan, it was a big thing. The diamond at the center was the same stone Alan had given her nearly 50 years before, when they first met.
“It was one of the most terrible feelings,” Mae said. “We kept saying, ‘It’s just a ring,’ but it was more than that.”
While the Pratzels spent the night searching their home in despair (绝望), hope was quietly on the way.
On Sunday, in the busy parking lot of the same supermarket, 10-year-old Kal Blank, who lost much weight because of a serious illness, found something special on the ground. Kal had a habit of looking down — searching for treasures in unexpected places. Over the years, he’d collected bags of coins and crystals others paid no attention to. Sometimes, he could find something useful and then he would sell it to pay for his medicine.
This time, however, the “treasure” was no common find. Kal bent down and picked up what he thought was just another coin, only to realize it was heavy — far too heavy. He put it into his pocket, not knowing he was holding someone’s most valuable possession (财产).
Kal’s mother called the supermarket and made sure that someone had reported a missing ring that perfectly matched Kal’s find. While the supermarket was contacting the Pratzels, Kal was busy making the return special. He cleaned the ring and placed it inside a small box his mother had saved from a trip to Ireland, together with a handwritten note. With honesty only a child could have, Kal wrote, “At first, I kind of wanted to keep it because it was pretty. I hope you relax now that you have your ring back.”
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。
With the supermarket’s help, Kal and his mother finally met the Pratzels.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, the Pratzels showed up at Kal’s door.
