At the sight of the thrilling news that the Science Club is recruiting new members, I can't resist my impulse to submit my application. Since an early age I have been a science enthusiast and determined to choose science as my life-long career. Science club can't be more appealing to me not only because it will provide me with an excellent platform to apply my scientific theories to practice but also because it can expose me to the frontier in this field through various activities. Moreover, I am convinced that I will do my own part in serving the club once selected. With a sound knowledge of experimental skills, I am capable of helping other members with experiment processes. I will appreciate it if my application can meet with your favorable consideration. Expecting your early reply. 读后续写参考范文： The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal. Unwilling to play such an insignificant role, I practiced dancing absent-mindedly. Noticing my behavior, Mr. Ellison walked towards me, stroked my hair and murmured words of encouragement, “Every role matters.” His words echoed in my mind. As I watched the other dancers throwing themselves into the performance, a new perspective gradually emerged in my mind. Over the following days, I channeled my energy into the rehearsals heart and soul and my performance improved steadily. With growing confidence, the unwillingness I once felt gradually gave way to eager anticipation. Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. Drawing strength from the countless hours of practice, Mr. Ellison’s encouragement, and my passion for dance, I stepped onto the stage, enveloped/bathed in the glow of the lights. With the slow, slightly stooped grace of an aged woman, I danced each step steadily and delivered my lines with my voice trembling, holding their attention completely during my short scene. I really enjoyed the moment by turning a small role into a big one. After the show, Mr. Ellison showered me with praise for my performance. Only then did I realize that every role, no matter how small, is an opportunity to shine. 读后续写思路点拨： 1.抓住核心矛盾：梦想成为明星舞者的“我”试镜后却获得了老妇人这一“小角色” 2.分析首句线索：1)The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal.【drag 是什么意思？体现了“我”怎样的情绪？】 2)Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage.【couldn’t wait to 体现了“我”怎样的情绪？为什么发生了情绪变化？是什么使“我”的态度发生转变？“我”上台后的表演如何？】 3.完善情节发展：排练时的消极→被点醒→心态转变→刻苦排练→自信提升→舞台成功→获得认可→领悟升华 4.总结文章主旨：Every role in a play was important. 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了人们应该尝试观看的中国动画电影。 21．推理判断题。根据The Legend of Hei部分“Humanity’s greed for development and urbanization and what are the consequences of these actions are some of the main themes in this fantastic adventure film. And it even gained the praise of Japanese animators when released in Japan in 2019.(人类对发展和城市化的贪婪以及这些行为的后果是这部奇幻冒险电影的一些主题。2019年在日本上映时，它甚至获得了日本动画师的赞誉)”以及“This film has a vivid style of flashy animation with great fight scenes, and lovable characters to follow. Besides, it delivers an amazing and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and coexistence that will teach the viewers so many important lessons in life.(这部电影有着生动的动画风格，有精彩的打斗场面，还有可爱的角色。此外，它还讲述了一个令人惊叹和温暖的家庭、友谊和共存的故事，这将教会观众生活中许多重要的教训)”可知，《罗小黑战记》这部电影包含冒险主题，教会观众许多重要的教训，是有意义和有影响的，文中没有提及电影是令人心碎的。故选C。 22．推理判断题。根据第二段“Here’s our list of Chinese animation movies that people should give a try and watch.(这是我们列出的人们应该尝试观看的中国动画电影)”可知，本文的目的是推荐人们去观看中国动画电影。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据第一段“The Chinese animation is becoming more popular in recent years. As the new decade unfolds, the Chinese animation industry looks promising and is likely to deliver more to the world.(近年来，中国动画越来越受欢迎。随着新的十年的展开，中国动画产业看起来很有前景，并可能为世界带来更多)”、第二段“Here’s our list of Chinese animation movies that people should give a try and watch.(这是我们列出的人们应该尝试观看的中国动画电影)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了新的十年来，中国动画电影越来越受欢迎，并列举了人们应该尝试观看的中国动画电影，推测文章可能出自现代电影的介绍。故选B。 B篇【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，以及这段经历对作者产生的深远影响。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. (九岁那年，我还没意识到，我和奶奶从我们居住黑人社区，前往以白人为主的里维尔海滩，是一件多么不寻常的事。当时黑人家庭都聚在海滩的一个区域，很少有人单独外出，而奶奶却格外显眼 —— 她游泳时自信又矫健，不像其他女性那样顾虑头发或泳衣是否会乱。)”可知，祖母和其他女人不一样，她在游泳时自信且健壮，而其他女人担心自己的头发或衣服。因此，祖母与其他女人的不同之处在于她游泳时显得轻松而有力。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. (我曾经想知道为什么被奴役的非洲人没有从靠近岸边的船上跳下来，游到自由的地方。后来我了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险。)”可知，作者后来了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险，所以非洲奴隶很少游泳是因为自然危险。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. (虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，祖母教作者游泳不是为了划水，而是为了让她在生活中保持力量和自信。因此，祖母教作者游泳是为了建立她的自信。故选B。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. (她安静的欺骗不是谎言，而是一种深刻的勇敢和勇气行为。虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，祖母虽然自己不会游泳，但仍然勇敢地教作者游泳，让她在生活中保持力量和自信，这段经历对作者产生了深远的影响，让她克服了自我怀疑和文化偏见。因此，D选项“Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons (祖母的赋能课)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D。 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在埃塞俄比亚展出的中国古代汉字画及其意义。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges.(7月13日，中国古代汉字画展在埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行，旨在促进民间和文化交流)”可知，展览的主要目的是促进两国之间的文化交流，故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段“The paintings describes the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature.(这些画作描述了《易经》中的64个占卜符号，这些符号代表了人与自然的日常互动)”可知，《易经》的符号象征了人与自然的联系，故选B。 30．词句猜测题。根据第四段“He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia.(他说，这次展览可以看作是促进中埃两国人民文化交流和共同发展的a stepping stone)”可知，提到展览作为促进文化交流的“stepping stone”，这表示取得进一步进展的初步努力。故选D。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges.(7月13日，中国古代汉字画展在埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行，旨在促进民间和文化交流)”可知，通篇文章围绕埃塞俄比亚展出的中国古代汉字画及其意义展开。由此可知，“An Exhibition in Ethiopia Featuring Chinese Characters(在埃塞俄比亚举办的中国文字展览)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 D篇：【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe”这一常见社交现象，分析其背后原因及特定应对情况，并给出直接回应的建议。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.(想象一下，你赢得了两张售罄音乐会的门票，急切地发短信问朋友是否愿意一起去。他们回复“也许吧”。你的心情立刻变了，因为你需要等他们做决定，才能确定自己的音乐会计划)”以及第二段中的“If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life.(如果你有过类似上述轶事的经历，你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复“也许”是社交生活中常见却令人恼火的一面)”可知，作者开头提及音乐会轶事，是为了引出人们对邀请回复“Maybe”这一常见社交场景。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open.(我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以有偏差的方式解读信息以迎合自己的意愿时，就会发生动机性推理。换句话说，受邀者会说服自己，邀请者更想听到“也许”而不是“不”，因为“也许”对受邀者更有利，能让他们保留选择的余地)”可知，人们对邀请回复“Maybe”的主要原因是对社交信号有偏差的解读。故选A项。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town.(虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手，但有时直接明确是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择，但能避免邀请你的人陷入不确定的状态，而且当下一场音乐会来临时，他们或许还会想到你)”可知，作者建议优先选择清晰明确的回应，而非保留选择余地。故选C项。 35．主旨大意题。选项B：仅聚焦“maybe”的潜在影响（如让邀请者困扰、不受尊重），是文章次要信息，未覆盖“原因探究”和“正向引导”的核心，片面概括，排除；选项C：“探讨不确定回复的尴尬”文章并未罗列不确定回复产生的尴尬结果，同时“分享建议”未紧扣原文“倡导清晰回复”的核心指向，逻辑偏差，排除；选项D：与文章传递的观点相违背，排除。选项A：“explore why”对应原文对“maybe”背后心理的探究，“advocate clear replies”契合文章引导更优社交回复的核心意图，表述地道、逻辑完整，当选。故选A项。 七选五：【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章说明了感恩逐渐成为一种趋势及感恩的重要性。 36．空前说“We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download some apps to write down our blessings.(我们可以买各种各样的感恩日记，或者下载一些应用程序来记下我们的祝福。)”，空格处应该解释为什么要买这些东西，D选项“Those products just remind us to take time to be grateful.(这些产品只是提醒我们要花时间去感恩。)”说明了这些产品提醒我们要花时间去感恩，也就是解释了为什么要买这些东西，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 37．空后说“Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships.(研究发现，在青少年中，写感恩日记可以减少物质主义，增强慷慨。感恩可以帮助人们睡得更好，减轻压力，改善人际关系。)”，说明写感恩日记有很多好处，E选项“Noting down gratitude and expressing it seem to pay off.(记下感激之情并表达出来似乎是有回报的。)”说明了写感恩日记是有好处的，位于空格处可以引出下面具体的好处，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。 38．空前说“Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. (研究发现，在青少年中，写感恩日记可以减少物质主义，增强慷慨。感恩可以帮助人们睡得更好，减轻压力，改善人际关系。)”，说明的是写感恩日记的好处，空后说““It is one practice that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.” she says. (“这是一个在积极心理学领域脱颖而出的实践”，她说。她的学生除了记感恩日记外，还被要求写一封感谢信，然后大声念给收信人听。“即使在这样做一个月后，他们的幸福感也有了明显的改善。”她说。)”，说明她很重视写感恩日记，G选项“That’s why gratitude features heavily in Santos’ happiness class.(这就是为什么感恩在Santos的幸福课上占据重要地位。)”说明了Santos在她的课上很重视感恩，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 39．空前说“There’s a lack of research on how gratitude exercises help people with anxiety or clinical depression. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it is not for everyone.(关于感恩练习如何帮助焦虑或临床抑郁症患者的研究还很缺乏。事实上，尽管所有关于表达感激的广泛好处的研究都表明，这并不适用于所有人。)”，这说明感恩也不是适合每一个人，A选项“That is, it’s not a cure-all.(也就是说，它不是万灵药。)”说明感恩不是适合每一个人，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 40．空前说“During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up.” she says.(在非常艰难的时期，比如她身体不好的时候，Santos觉得她在寻找感恩的理由。但她仍然试图找到一些。“我很感激太阳还在照耀，我还能醒来。”她说。)”说明她在身体不好时也试图找可感恩的事情，空格处应该说这种做法给她带来了什么好处，C选项“Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well.(感激之情让她记起顺利的事情。)”说明了感恩给她带来的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选C。 完形填空：【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者年初立志园艺，历经辛苦却收效甚微，几乎放弃时，寒冬中意外发现大丽花绽放，重拾来年继续尝试的决心。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我做了研究，买了所有必需品，并在院子里清理出一块地方。A. cleared清理；B. marked标记；C. measured测量；D. designed设计。根据后文“a spot in my yard”及园艺准备工作可知，作者需要清理出一块空地用于种花，“cleared”符合“为种植做准备”的语境。故选A项。 42．考查动词短语辨析。句意：我在日记里写下了我的园艺目标，希望能拥有一个开满鲜花的花园。A. gave away赠送；B. wrote down写下；C. made up编造；D. crossed out划掉。根据前文“in my journal”可知，作者将目标记录下来，“wrote down”符合“日记记录”的场景。故选B项。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我在日记里写下了我的园艺目标，希望能拥有一个开满鲜花的花园。A. choosing选择；B. promising承诺；C. hoping希望；D. agreeing同意。根据后文“to have a garden full of flowers”可知，作者希望能拥有一个开满鲜花的花园，“hoping”体现对目标的期盼，符合语境。故选C项。 44．考查副词词义辨析。句意：想象着大丽花完全绽放的样子，我感到很兴奋。A. gradually逐渐地；B. secretly秘密地；C. immediately立刻；D. fully完全地。根据前文“flowering”及后文“made me excited”可知，作者想象的是花朵完全盛开的美景，“fully”强调开花的完整状态。故选D项。 45．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：整个春天我都忙得筋疲力尽，提着一桶桶水和一篮篮肥料。A. annoyed恼怒的；B. worried担忧的；C. disappointed失望的；D. tired疲惫的。根据后文“carrying buckets of water and baskets of fertilizer”可知，作者付出了大量体力劳动，应是疲惫的，“ran myself tired”表示“忙得筋疲力尽”，符合语境。故选D项。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但尽管我付出了所有努力，我可怜的植物几乎难以存活。A. dying死亡；B. waving挥手；C. surviving存活；D. recognizing识别。根据前文“poor plants”及后文“just a few sad and sickly plants”可知，植物生长状况不佳，几乎难以存活，“surviving”符合“长势不好”的语境。故选C项。 47．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我看着邻居们的花园里鲜花怒放，长得又高又壮。A. doubled翻倍；B. erupted爆发、怒放；C. ended结束；D. settled定居。根据后文“with flowers growing tall and strong.”可知，与作者的植物形成对比，邻居的花园鲜花长势旺盛，“erupted”此处引申为“鲜花怒放”，形象体现花开得繁茂。故选B项。 48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：到夏末，我只种出了几株枯萎病态的植物。A. grow种植、培育；B. gather收集；C. harvest收获；D. save拯救。结合前文作者浇水施肥的种植过程，此处指最终培育出的植物状况，“grow”符合“种植培育”的逻辑。故选A项。 49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：大丽花从未开花。A. recovered恢复；B. flowered开花；C. adapted适应；D. disappeared消失。根据前文作者期待大丽花绽放及后文植物长势不佳可知，大丽花最终没有开花，“flowered”与前文“flowering”相呼应。故选B项。 50．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我盯着那些枯萎的植物。A. fresh新鲜的；B. rare稀有的；C. dead枯萎的、死亡的；D. beautiful美丽的。根据前文“That fall, an early frost wiped out my plants for good”可知，早霜会冻死植物，“dead”符合植物被摧毁后的状态。故选C项。 51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我是不是应该放弃园艺？A. consider考虑；B. practise练习；C. appreciate欣赏；D. quit放弃。根据前文“nothing to show for all my hard work”、“the hobby wasn’t for me”可知，作者因努力无果产生了放弃的念头，“quit”符合语境。故选D项。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：雪不多，但它给院子覆盖了一层薄薄的粉末。A. coated覆盖；B. painted绘画；C. maintained维持；D. displayed展示。根据后文“in a soft powder”可知，雪覆盖了院子，“coated”表示“覆盖一层”，符合雪景描述。故选A项。 53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：除了……我看向窗外，在白色的覆盖物中发现了一点色彩。A. sunlight阳光；B. color色彩；C. dust灰尘；D. ice冰。雪景是白色的，而花朵是有颜色的，“color”指大丽花的花色，与白色雪景形成对比。故选B项。 54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：可能吗？我跑到外面。A. lay躺；B. sat坐；C. ran跑；D. hid藏。根据前文“Was it possible?”可知，作者意外发现色彩，内心充满惊喜与疑惑，迫切想要确认，所以跑到外面。“ran”体现动作的急切。故选C项。 55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我决心明年再尝试园艺，选一个阳光更充足的地方。A. bored无聊的；B. puzzled困惑的；C. satisfied满意的；D. determined坚定的。根据前文“here, on the dahlia plant, was a beautiful flower.”可知，大丽花在寒冬中绽放的意外之喜，让作者重拾信心，下定决心再次尝试，“determined”体现坚定的态度。故选D项。 语法填空：56. 考点：副词的用法。句意：9月21日，一部致力于弘扬千年宣纸文化的电视剧《墨缘》，在安徽省宣城市被公开宣布已开机拍摄。形容词变副词，修饰动词“announced”，需用副词形式。 57. 考点：不定冠词的用法。句意：据制片方介绍，该剧有一个80天的拍摄日程。“80 - day”（eighty - day）以元音音素开头，且“schedule”为可数名词单数，表“一个”时用不定冠词“an”。 58. 考点：一般现在时中主谓一致。句意：由中央广播电视总台出品、宋业明执导的这部剧，讲述了一位年轻女性辞去北京的工作，回到家乡照顾生病的母亲的故事。主语“the story”是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 59. 考点：固定短语。as 固定搭配 “land a position as...” 意为 “获得…… 职位”，此处指 “她获得了当地政府官员的职位”，故填 as。 60. 考点：主语从句。句意：在成为一名当地政府官员后，她发现传统的宣纸产业正面临日益衰落的危险。从句中 “is faced with” 缺少宾语，指代 “宣纸产业面临的事物”，故用连接词 what 引导主语从句。 61. 考点：形容词短语作状语。句意：决心振兴它（宣纸产业），她发起了诸如开发宣纸笔记本、在北京争取宣纸墙纸订单以及组织推广“文房四宝”的文化节等举措——“文房四宝”是一个传统术语，指的是笔、墨、纸、砚。“be determined to do sth.”（决心做某事）的省略用法，省略“be”动词，用“Determined”作状语。 62. 考点：可数名词的复数形式。“such as”后列举多个举措，“initiative”为可数名词，需用复数。 63. 考点：现在分词作后置定语。“term”与“refer to”是主动关系，用现在分词“referring”修饰“term”。 64. 考点：被动语态。句意：宋导演透露，他被该剧独特的结构和角色所吸引，尤其是它以一位宣纸厂女官员的视角展开。 主语 “he”（导演宋业明）与 “draw”（吸引）是被动关系，需用被动语态；“revealed” 为过去式，若强调 “被吸引” 发生在 “透露” 之前，用过去完成时的被动语态 had been drawn；若仅陈述过去的事实，用一般过去时的被动语态 was drawn，两者均符合语境。 65. 考点：形容词的用法。句意：他还被宣纸工匠家庭内部的戏剧性张力所吸引，他们在守护传统、传承技艺和面向未来创新时面临着挑战。修饰名词“tension”，需用形容词，“drama”的形容词形式为“dramatic”。 听力原文 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Text 1 W: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the nearest bookstore? M: Get out of the department, walk along this street until you see a hospital, and then turn left. It's next to the bank. W: Thanks! Text 2 M: Hi, Lucy. Are you going to the school concert this Saturday? W: I'm not sure. My parents want me to pay a visit to my sister that day. She just gave birth to a baby. M: What a pity! Text 3 W: The weather report says it will rain tomorrow. M: That's bad. We planned to have a picnic in the park. W: Maybe we can change the plan. How about going to the museum? M: Good idea. I heard there's a new art exhibition there. Text 4 M: How much is this T-shirt? W: It's 100 dollars. But if you buy two, you can get 20% off. M: Then I'll take two. One for me and one for my brother. Text 5 W: Good morning! I need to borrow a copy of Pride and Prejudice for my literature class. M: Let me check. Oh, we have three copies, but two are already checked out. The last one is on the second shelf, Section F. W: Great, thanks! How long can I keep it? M: For two weeks. Text 6 M: I always love watching musicals, but this one is a bit rubbish—they just keep screaming. W: This isn't a musical; it's an absolute classic opera! It's excellent! M: I think that's a matter of opinion. W: Listen, this night out is something I've been looking forward to for weeks. It's my birthday present, remember? So, I want you to sit back and give it a chance, okay? M: All right. I'm hungry, and I need to get a hamburger once this is finished. W: Fine! Text 7 M: So, Casey, how are things going with photos for the press kit? W: Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. I might need to ask for an extension on that deadline. M: You've had over a month to get this finalized. Why are things delayed? W: Well, we ran into a lot of problems. M: I'm not looking for excuses here. I just want to get this finished on time. W: I know, and I apologize for the delay. But some things were just beyond my control. I had trouble booking the photographer and then Michael was sick for three weeks, so I couldn't include him in the photos. M: I'm not going to put this off any longer, Casey. I want those photos as soon as possible. Text 8 M: Hello, is that Ms Lee speaking? This is John from ABC Company. I'm calling to inform you about the result of your interview last Monday. Good news—my boss has decided to offer you the position, provided you're still interested. W: Oh, that's wonderful! I'm definitely still interested. Thank you so much for letting me know. M: You're welcome. Now, could you let us know when you can start? We were hoping you could join us next Monday—does that work for you? W: I'm afraid that's a bit soon. I haven't talked to my current boss about leaving yet, and according to company policy, I need to give a two-week notice to allow time for finding a replacement. Would the 1st of June be possible? M: Let me check... Yes, the 1st of June is fine. We'll prepare the employment contract and send it to you by the end of this week. W: That sounds good. I really appreciate your flexibility. M: No problem. We're looking forward to having you on board. Text 9 M: Christina? It's really you! W: Andy! What a surprise! It must be at least five years since we bumped into each other after graduation. You're looking fantastic—still as energetic as when you were on the college basketball team. How do you keep in such good shape? M: Oh, I've cut down on junk food lately—no more late-night pizza runs. But I don't hit the gym as hard as I used to. W: I wish I could stick to a routine, but my work schedule's all over the place. M: Maybe you could join that new fitness centre near your company. I passed by it last week—it's got a pool and everything. You could swim right after work. W: That does sound convenient. I've been meaning to get back into some kind of exercise. M: We should team up sometime. I was thinking of trying that new trail by the lake for a hike this weekend. W: Hiking? No thanks—I'd rather stay indoors. Running's out too; I'm terrible at it. Swimming, though—that I could manage. M: Perfect! The gym I mentioned has a 25-metre pool. How about Saturday morning? W: That works for me. I'll bring my swimsuit! Text 10 OK, everyone. Let me introduce to you three films to be shown in the 3D cinema today. The first one is called The Secrets and it starts in half an hour at ten o'clock. It's a beautiful film and it tells the story of the journey that was made down the river Nile for the very first time. Dinosaurs Alive is the second film showing today. It starts at 1:45 p.m., and runs for just 30 minutes. Scientists now have a lot of evidence to show that some animals from the dinosaur family are still living on Earth. So in this film, you'll live with a new kind of dinosaur that has been recreated using computers. Our last film today is Arabia. It starts at 2:30 p.m. and is a little longer than the others, but it's a really wonderful experience. You'll ride through the desert and explore Red Sea where you'll find the ruins of an amazing lost city. $请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much . the shirt is?

B（必修一 U1 Life Choices） At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. She would carry me on her back into the ocean, moving steadily along the tide. I followed my grandmother’s strong motions, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired how she seemed born to the water, emerging like a queen — proud, radiant, and benevolent. Summer made our Black bodies more visible and vulnerable against narrow cultural ideals, but my grandmother never noticed. She focused on teaching me to swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary to some, as the popular media never portrayed the “great outdoors” as a welcoming place for Black people. It was seen as a space where we might feel uncomfortable or even threatened. But to me, those perceptions didn’t matter. When I finally learned to swim, it felt like I had unlocked a profound and personal secret of strength and freedom. I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. Now, whenever I enter the ocean, I remember my ancestors for whom the sea was a place of terror rather than freedom. Only after my grandmother’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strong swimmer herself. She had been brushing the ocean floor with her feet all along, keeping us afloat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. 24. How was the grandmother different from other women at the beach? A. She stayed with Black families only. B. She avoided getting her hair and suits wet. C. She seemed to swim with ease and strength. D. She stood outside of the swimming section. 25. What does the author realize about African slaves? A. They were poisonous by sea creatures. B. They didn’t enjoy outdoor activities. C. They rarely swam due to natural dangers. D. They could have easily escaped by swimming. 26. Why did the grandmother teach the author to swim? A. To challenge her limits. B. To build her confidence. C. To prepare her for dangers at sea. D. To prove Black people could swim. 27. Which title best suits the passage? A. Overcoming Fears at Revere Beach B. A Summer That Changed My Childhood C. Breaking Self-Doubt and Cultural Bias D. Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons C An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot. Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda says the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. Oda says such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development. The paintings describes the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” says Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia. “The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” says Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries. In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children. 28．What’s the main purpose of the exhibition held in Addis Ababa? A．To promote Ethiopian art globally. B．To introduce the I Ching to Ethiopians. C．To promote cultural exchanges between Ethiopia and China. D．To celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi. 29．What do the symbols in I Ching stand for? A．Different language signs. B．Human-nature connection. C．Daily exploration in nature. D．Shared knowledge of human. 30．What does the phrase “a stepping stone” in the context mean? A．A physical object used for walking. B．A metaphor for a difficult beginning. C．A special stone used in Ethiopian art. D．An initial effort leading to further progress. 31．What’s the best title for the text? A．China and Ethiopia Cooperate on I Ching B．Countries Are Drawn to Cultural Harmony C．Advocating the Cultural Diversity Is Beneficial D．An Exhibition in Ethiopia Featuring Chinese Characters D（选择性必修一Unit 1 Relationships） Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote(趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased(有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 32. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 33. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 34. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 35.What’s the passage’s main purpose? A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies. B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations. C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice. D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）（选择性必修二 U5 Education） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。 Over the last few years, there has been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download some apps to write down our blessings. 36 “We should also bear in mind that gratitude is free.” says Laurie Santos, who teaches a course on the science of well-being and happiness at Yale University. 37 Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. 38 “It is one practice that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.” she says. What works for some people may not work for others. There’s a lack of research on how gratitude exercises help people with anxiety or clinical depression. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it is not for everyone. 39 It can’t make injustice, loss or pain disappear. During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up.” she says. 40 A. That is, it’s not a cure-all. B. So it does not feel pleasant. C. Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well. D. Those products just remind us to take time to be grateful. E. Noting down gratitude and expressing it seem to pay off. F. Practicing too much gratitude may have undesired effects. G. That’s why gratitude features heavily in Santos’ happiness class. 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）（选择性必修一Unit 1 Relationships） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My year started with a plan.

With the drama festival approaching, the school drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up. As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers' magazines wrote about me, would say this moment was when my rise to a star began. My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow. “Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess. The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the cast list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation! I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练). 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 next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal._________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage.______________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
