第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for ‘tomato’, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.
The core process is simple: choose a task, set the timer to 25 minutes, work until it rings, then put a checkmark on paper. Take a short break (5 minutes). After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes). This regular break-taking helps maintain mental freshness.
The method is effective because it creates a sense of urgency, making you aware that the clock is ticking. This helps fight interruptions. Moreover, frequent breaks prevent burnout and keep your mind focused. It’s particularly useful for large, overwhelming tasks; by committing to just 25 minutes, the task becomes less daunting and easier to start.
1. What is a pomodoro in this technique?
A. A type of Italian food. B. A 5-minute short break.
C. A 25-minute work interval. D. A special kitchen timer.
2. According to the passage, what should you do after completing four pomodoros?
A. Start a new task immediately.
B. Take a long break of 15-30 minutes.
C. Mark four checkmarks on a paper.
D. Change to a different timer.
3. Why is the technique considered effective?
A. It makes tasks more interesting.
B. It allows for more flexible work hours.
C. It requires expensive equipment to implement.
D. It creates time pressure and prevents exhaustion.
B
In the remote mountains of Mexico, a team of scientists made a remarkable discovery: a community of people who can communicate using a unique whistle language. This language, which echoes the melodic sounds of birds, allows them to convey complex messages across long distances in the rugged terrain.
The language, known locally as whistled speech, is not merely random whistling. It is, in fact, a detailed and structured form of their native spoken language. The whistles replicate the tone, pitch, and rhythm of spoken words and sentences, forming a complete communication system. Villagers can conduct conversations, discuss news, and even tell stories entirely through whistles. This form of communication is perfectly adapted to their environment, where sound travels much farther than a human voice.
However, this ancient tradition is facing the threat of extinction. The younger generation is increasingly leaving the village for education and jobs in cities, where Spanish and digital communication dominate. Smartphones and the internet, while connecting them to the wider world, are disconnecting them from this unique cultural heritage. Efforts are now being made to document the language and teach it in local schools, but the future of this fascinating whistle language remains uncertain.
4. What is the primary function of the whistle language?
A. To entertain tourists with bird-like sounds.
B. To communicate over long distances in the mountains.
C. To create a secret code to protect the village.
D. To compose traditional music for ceremonies.
5. How is the whistle language related to the villagers’ spoken language?
A. It is a simplified version for quick commands.
B. It is an independent system with its own grammar.
C. It copies the musical patterns of the spoken language.
D. It is only used by the elder members of the community.
6. What is the main threat to the survival of the whistle language?
A. Government laws banning its use. B. The difficulty of learning it.
C. Lack of scientific recognition and research. D. Migration of youth and influence of modern technology.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the whistle language?
A. Concerned and uncertain B. Optimistic and hopeful.
C. Indifferent and detached. D. Confident and encouraging
C
In the age of social media, the concept of the “influencer” has become a powerful force in marketing and culture. These individuals, often with large online followings, can shape trends, opinions, and consumer behavior with a single post. However, a new, quieter trend is emerging: the rise of the “micro-influencer.”
Unlike traditional influencers who may have millions of followers, micro-influencers typically have a smaller but highly engaged audience, ranging from a few thousand to around one hundred thousand followers. Their strength lies not in their reach, but in their perceived authenticity and niche expertise. A micro-influencer might be a local chef specializing in vegan cuisine, a teacher sharing classroom management tips, or an engineer with a passion for vintage watches.
Brands are increasingly turning to micro-influencers for their marketing campaigns. The reason is simple: trust. Followers of micro-influencers often feel a stronger personal connection, viewing them as peers or knowledgeable friends rather than distant celebrities. This parasocial relationship translates into higher engagement rates — more comments, shares, and meaningful interactions. When a micro-influencer recommends a product, their audience is more likely to perceive it as a genuine endorsement rather than a paid advertisement.
Furthermore, campaigns using multiple micro-influencers can be more cost-effective and can target diverse niche markets simultaneously. For instance, a sustainable clothing brand might collaborate with fifty micro-influencers across different cities, each with a dedicated following interested in eco-friendly living, thus creating a wide yet precise web of influence.
The shift towards micro-influencers signals a broader cultural desire for authenticity and community in the digital space. As consumers grow weary of overly polished and impersonal corporate messaging, they are drawn to the relatable and trustworthy voices of micro-influencers. This trend suggests that in the future of digital influence, trust and connection may ultimately hold more power than sheer reach and fame.
8. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the rise and advantages of micro-influencers.
B. To criticize the dishonesty of traditional influencers.
C. To instruct readers on how to become a micro-influencer.
D. To compare the follower counts of different types of influencers.
9. The word “parasocial” in paragraph 3 most likely means a relationship that is ______.
A. deeply personal and two-sided B. one-sided, felt by the follower only
C. strictly professional and businesslike D. competitive and unfriendly
10. What can we infer from the example of the sustainable clothing brand in paragraph 4?
A. Traditional influencers are no longer used by clothing brands.
B. Micro-influencers are only effective for promoting eco - friendly products.
C. Sustainable clothing brands have larger marketing budgets than other brands.
D. Collaborating with micro-influencers is a strategy to achieve targeted marketing.
11 What does the trend towards micro-influencers indicate about modern consumers?
A. They are only interested in niche products. B. They prefer fame over authenticity.
C. They value genuine connection and trust. D. They are tired of using social media.
D
Our brains are naturally wired to seek patterns and connections. This is the core principle behind the Von Restorff effect, also known as the “isolation effect,” which states that when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely to be remembered.
Imagine you are trying to memorize a list of words: apple, banana, grape, train, orange. The word train is the “isolated” item because it is not a fruit like the others. Due to the Von Restorff effect, your brain will latch onto this distinctive item, making you far more likely to recall train later than any of the fruits, which tend to blur together in your memory.
This effect has profound implications for learning and design. For students, it suggests that highlighting a key term in a text or using a different color for critical notes can significantly enhance memory recall. For designers and advertisers, making a crucial button on a website a different color or shape, or placing a unique product in an advertisement, can draw the consumer’s attention and make the product more memorable. However, a word of caution: overusing this effect can be counterproductive. If everything is highlighted, nothing stands out anymore. The power of distinctiveness is lost when there is no common background against which an item can stand out.
12. What is the Von Restorff effect?
A. The tendency to remember items that are distinct.
B. The ability to group similar objects together.
C. The difficulty in remembering isolated items.
D. The preference for beautiful objects over plain ones.
13. According to the passage, how can a student use this effect to study?
A. By memorizing everything in a list. B. By studying for long hours without a break.
C. By highlighting important information. D. By avoiding the use of any colors.
14. What is the potential downside of overusing the Von Restorff effect in design?
A. It makes the design too expensive to produce. B. It can make nothing seem special
C. It attracts too much negative attention. D. It violates basic design principles.
15. Where is this passage most likely from?
A. A personal diary. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A historical novel. D. A popular science magazine.

It was the day of the inter-school basketball championship. Our team, the Eagles, had made it to the final after months of intense practice. The gym was packed with cheering students and parents. The score was tied, and there were only ten seconds left on the clock. We had possession of the ball. This was our chance.
As the point guard, I dribbled (运球) the ball, my heart pounding like a drum. I looked for an opening to pass. My best friend and teammate, Leo, was near the basket, but he was closely guarded by two opponents. I made a split-second decision — I would take the final shot myself. I faked a pass, jumped, and released the ball. The entire gym fell silent as the ball spun in the air towards the basket. It hit the rim, circled it twice, and bounced out. The buzzer (蜂鸣器) rang. We had lost.
The silence was then replaced by the cheers of the opposing team. I couldn’t bear to look at my teammates, especially Leo, who had been in a perfect position to score. I had been overconfident and had made a terrible mistake. I ran straight to the locker room, filled with shame and regret.

A
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for ‘tomato’, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.
The core process is simple: choose a task, set the timer to 25 minutes, work until it rings, then put a checkmark on paper. Take a short break (5 minutes). After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes). This regular break-taking helps maintain mental freshness.
The method is effective because it creates a sense of urgency, making you aware that the clock is ticking. This helps fight interruptions. Moreover, frequent breaks prevent burnout and keep your mind focused. It’s particularly useful for large, overwhelming tasks; by committing to just 25 minutes, the task becomes less daunting and easier to start.

A. A type of Italian food. B. A 5-minute short break.
C. A 25-minute work interval. D. A special kitchen timer.
2. According to the passage, what should you do after completing four pomodoros?
A. Start a new task immediately.
B. Take a long break of 15-30 minutes.
C. Mark four checkmarks on a paper.
D. Change to a different timer.
3. Why is the technique considered effective?
A. It makes tasks more interesting.
B. It allows for more flexible work hours.
C. It requires expensive equipment to implement.
D. It creates time pressure and prevents exhaustion.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了番茄工作法(The Pomodoro Technique)的起源、核心操作步骤以及其被认为有效的原因。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到“The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro(该方法使用计时器将工作分解为间隔,传统上长度为25分钟,由短休息分隔。每个间隔被称为一个pomodoro)”。因此,pomodoro在该技术中特指一个25分钟的工作间隔。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段结尾部分“After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes). (完成四个番茄钟后,休息时间可以长一些,时长为15到30分钟)”可知,在完成四个番茄钟后,应该进行15到30分钟的长休息。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The method is effective because it creates a sense of urgency, making you aware that the clock is ticking. This helps fight interruptions. Moreover, frequent breaks prevent burnout and keep your mind focused.(该方法有效是因为它创造了一种紧迫感,让你意识到时间在流逝。这有助于对抗干扰。此外,频繁的休息防止倦怠并保持注意力集中)”可知,其有效性主要体现在创造时间压力和防止精疲力竭。故选D项。

In the age of social media, the concept of the “influencer” has become a powerful force in marketing and culture. These individuals, often with large online followings, can shape trends, opinions, and consumer behavior with a single post. However, a new, quieter trend is emerging: the rise of the “micro-influencer.”
Unlike traditional influencers who may have millions of followers, micro-influencers typically have a smaller but highly engaged audience, ranging from a few thousand to around one hundred thousand followers. Their strength lies not in their reach, but in their perceived authenticity and niche expertise. A micro-influencer might be a local chef specializing in vegan cuisine, a teacher sharing classroom management tips, or an engineer with a passion for vintage watches.
Brands are increasingly turning to micro-influencers for their marketing campaigns. The reason is simple: trust. Followers of micro-influencers often feel a stronger personal connection, viewing them as peers or knowledgeable friends rather than distant celebrities. This parasocial relationship translates into higher engagement rates — more comments, shares, and meaningful interactions. When a micro-influencer recommends a product, their audience is more likely to perceive it as a genuine endorsement rather than a paid advertisement.
Furthermore, campaigns using multiple micro-influencers can be more cost-effective and can target diverse niche markets simultaneously. For instance, a sustainable clothing brand might collaborate with fifty micro-influencers across different cities, each with a dedicated following interested in eco-friendly living, thus creating a wide yet precise web of influence.
The shift towards micro-influencers signals a broader cultural desire for authenticity and community in the digital space. As consumers grow weary of overly polished and impersonal corporate messaging, they are drawn to the relatable and trustworthy voices of micro-influencers. This trend suggests that in the future of digital influence, trust and connection may ultimately hold more power than sheer reach and fame.
8. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the rise and advantages of micro-influencers.
B. To criticize the dishonesty of traditional influencers.
C. To instruct readers on how to become a micro-influencer.
D. To compare the follower counts of different types of influencers.
9. The word “parasocial” in paragraph 3 most likely means a relationship that is ______.
A. deeply personal and two-sided B. one-sided, felt by the follower only
C. strictly professional and businesslike D. competitive and unfriendly
10. What can we infer from the example of the sustainable clothing brand in paragraph 4?
A. Traditional influencers are no longer used by clothing brands.
B. Micro-influencers are only effective for promoting eco - friendly products.
C. Sustainable clothing brands have larger marketing budgets than other brands.
D. Collaborating with micro-influencers is a strategy to achieve targeted marketing.
11. What does the trend towards micro-influencers indicate about modern consumers?
A. They are only interested in niche products. B. They prefer fame over authenticity.
C. They value genuine connection and trust. D. They are tired of using social media.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍社交媒体时代微网红兴起的现象,阐述其粉丝精准、信任度高的特点,及品牌青睐其的营销优势,体现消费者对真诚联结的重视。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In the age of social media, the concept of the “influencer” has become a powerful force in marketing and culture. These individuals, often with large online followings, can shape trends, opinions, and consumer behavior with a single post. However, a new, quieter trend is emerging: the rise of the “micro-influencer.”(在社交媒体时代,“网红”这一概念已成为营销和文化领域的一股强大力量。这些通常拥有大量网络粉丝的个体,能够通过一条帖子就引领潮流、影响观点并改变消费者的消费行为。然而,一种新的、更为低调的趋势正在兴起:即“微网红”的兴起)”结合文章先引出社交媒体时代传统网红的影响力,再转而介绍新兴的“微网红”,随后分析其特点、品牌青睐他们的原因、营销优势,最后点明这一趋势的文化意义,整体核心是阐释微网红的兴起及其优势,可知,这篇文章的主要目的是为了说明微网红的兴起及其优势。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Brands are increasingly turning to micro-influencers for their marketing campaigns. The reason is simple: trust. Followers of micro-influencers often feel a stronger personal connection, viewing them as peers or knowledgeable friends rather than distant celebrities.(品牌在营销活动中越来越多地选择微网红作为合作伙伴。原因很简单:那就是信任。微网红的粉丝往往能与他们建立更紧密的个人联系,将他们视为平辈伙伴或知识渊博的朋友,而非遥不可及的名人)”可知,前文提到粉丝把微网红看作同龄人或知识渊博的朋友,而非遥远的名人,这种关系是粉丝单方面产生的亲近感,网红本人未必有对等互动,因此“parasocial”应指单向的、仅粉丝一方感知到的关系。故划线词意思是“单方面的,仅由粉丝所感知到的”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Furthermore, campaigns using multiple micro-influencers can be more cost-effective and can target diverse niche markets simultaneously. For instance, a sustainable clothing brand might collaborate with fifty micro-influencers across different cities, each with a dedicated following interested in eco-friendly living, thus creating a wide yet precise web of influence.(此外,采用多位微网红参与的营销活动往往更具成本效益,并且能够同时针对不同的细分市场进行推广。例如,一家可持续服装品牌可能会与来自不同城市的五十位微网红合作,每位网红都有各自固定的粉丝群体,这些粉丝都对环保生活方式感兴趣,从而形成一张广泛而精准的影响力网络)”可知,关于可持续服装品牌的例子说明了与微网红合作是一种实现精准营销的策略。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As consumers grow weary of overly polished and impersonal corporate messaging, they are drawn to the relatable and trustworthy voices of micro-influencers. This trend suggests that in the future of digital influence, trust and connection may ultimately hold more power than sheer reach and fame.(随着消费者对过于完美化且缺乏个性化的企业宣传感到厌倦,他们开始青睐那些贴近生活、值得信赖的微影响力者的声音。这一趋势表明,在数字影响力的新时代,信任与联系或许最终会比单纯的影响力和知名度更具影响力)”可知,微网红这一趋势表明现代消费者重视真实的人际联系和信任。故选C。
D
Our brains are naturally wired to seek patterns and connections. This is the core principle behind the Von Restorff effect, also known as the “isolation effect,” which states that when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely to be remembered.
Imagine you are trying to memorize a list of words: apple, banana, grape, train, orange. The word train is the “isolated” item because it is not a fruit like the others. Due to the Von Restorff effect, your brain will latch onto this distinctive item, making you far more likely to recall train later than any of the fruits, which tend to blur together in your memory.
This effect has profound implications for learning and design. For students, it suggests that highlighting a key term in a text or using a different color for critical notes can significantly enhance memory recall. For designers and advertisers, making a crucial button on a website a different color or shape, or placing a unique product in an advertisement, can draw the consumer’s attention and make the product more memorable. However, a word of caution: overusing this effect can be counterproductive. If everything is highlighted, nothing stands out anymore. The power of distinctiveness is lost when there is no common background against which an item can stand out.
12. What is the Von Restorff effect?
A. The tendency to remember items that are distinct.
B. The ability to group similar objects together.
C. The difficulty in remembering isolated items.
D. The preference for beautiful objects over plain ones.
13. According to the passage, how can a student use this effect to study?
A. By memorizing everything in a list. B. By studying for long hours without a break.
C. By highlighting important information. D. By avoiding the use of any colors.
14. What is the potential downside of overusing the Von Restorff effect in design?
A. It makes the design too expensive to produce. B. It can make nothing seem special
C It attracts too much negative attention. D. It violates basic design principles.
15. Where is this passage most likely from?
A. A personal diary. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A historical novel. D. A popular science magazine.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍冯·雷斯托夫效应,即独特事物更易被记住,还说明其在学习和设计中的应用,同时提醒过度使用该效应会削弱其效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This is the core principle behind the Von Restorff effect, also known as the “isolation effect,” which states that when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely to be remembered.(这就是“冯·雷斯托夫效应”(也被称为“隔离效应”)的核心原理。该效应指出,当存在多个相似的物体时,与其余物体有所不同的那个物体最有可能被记住)”可知,冯·雷斯托夫效应指的是人们倾向于记住与众不同的事物这一现象。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For students, it suggests that highlighting a key term in a text or using a different color for critical notes can significantly enhance memory recall.(对于学生而言,这表明在文本中突出标注一个关键术语,或者用不同的颜色标注重点笔记,都能显著提高记忆的提取能力)”可知,学生可以通过突出重要的信息利用这种效应。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If everything is highlighted, nothing stands out anymore. The power of distinctiveness is lost when there is no common background against which an item can stand out.(如果所有内容都进行了突出显示,那么就没有什么能够脱颖而出的了。当没有一个共同的背景作为参照,使得某个元素能够凸显出来时,独特性的力量也就丧失了)”可知,过度运用冯·雷斯托夫效应会导致一切看起来都毫无特别之处。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Our brains are naturally wired to seek patterns and connections. This is the core principle behind the Von Restorff effect, also known as the “isolation effect,” which states that when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely to be remembered.(我们的大脑天生就具备寻找模式和关联的能力。这就是“冯·雷斯托夫效应”(也被称为“隔离效应”)的核心原理。该效应指出,当存在多个相似的物体时,与其余物体有所不同的那个物体最有可能被记住)”结合本文介绍冯·雷斯托夫效应,即独特事物更易被记住,还说明其在学习和设计中的应用,同时提醒过度使用该效应会削弱其效果。可知,文章可能选自一本科普杂志。故选D。

The Benefits of Learning a Musical Instrument
We often hear about the joys of music, but the benefits of actively learning to play an instrument go far beyond simple entertainment. Neuroscience has shown that engaging with music in this way provides a powerful workout for the brain, leading to a wide range of cognitive and emotional advantages.
____16____Playing an instrument requires the brain to process multiple pieces of information at once: reading sheet music, translating it into motor movements, listening to the sound produced, and adjusting in real-time. This strengthens the corpus callosum, the bridge between the brain’s two hemispheres, leading to improved problem-solving skills and creativity.
Furthermore, learning music is a masterclass in patience and discipline. ____17____This process teaches delayed gratification and the value of persistent effort, qualities that are transferable to academic and professional life.
____18____It can be a powerful outlet for expressing emotions that are hard to put into words. Playing a piece of music can be a form of stress relief, providing a focus that calms the mind and reduces anxiety.
____19____Being part of a band, orchestra, or even a casual jam session fosters teamwork, communication, and a sense of belonging You learn to listen to others and work together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
Finally, the sense of achievement that comes from mastering a difficult piece or performing for an audience is a tremendous boost to self - confidence. ____20____So, whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time or returning to the piano, remember that you’re not just making music — you’re building a better brain.
A. Music also has significant social benefits.
B. It proves that you can overcome challenges with dedication.
C. Unlike passive listening, playing an instrument is a complex task.
D. Musical training is primarily about becoming a famous musician.
E. There is no doubt that music is the best way to relieve stress.
F. It requires regular and focused practice to see progress.
G. On an emotional level, making music can be incredibly therapeutic.

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。
It was the day of the inter-school basketball championship. Our team, the Eagles, had made it to the final after months of intense practice. The gym was packed with cheering students and parents. The score was tied, and there were only ten seconds left on the clock. We had possession of the ball. This was our chance.
As the point guard, I dribbled (运球) the ball, my heart pounding like a drum. I looked for an opening to pass. My best friend and teammate, Leo, was near the basket, but he was closely guarded by two opponents. I made a split-second decision — I would take the final shot myself. I faked a pass, jumped, and released the ball. The entire gym fell silent as the ball spun in the air towards the basket. It hit the rim, circled it twice, and bounced out. The buzzer (蜂鸣器) rang. We had lost.
The silence was then replaced by the cheers of the opposing team. I couldn’t bear to look at my teammates, especially Leo, who had been in a perfect position to score. I had been overconfident and had made a terrible mistake. I ran straight to the locker room, filled with shame and regret.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

As I sat alone on the bench, the door creaked open.

That moment taught me more about teamwork and friendship than any victory ever could.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As I sat alone on the bench, the door creaked open. It was Leo. Instead of anger, concern showed on his face. “Hey,” he said softly, sitting beside me. “I’m so sorry, Leo. I should’ve passed you the ball — it’s my fault we lost,” I blurted, voice trembling. Leo patted my shoulder: “We win and lose as a team. That shot was tough; anyone could’ve missed it. Don’t blame yourself.” His words warmed my cold heart. Soon, teammates filed in, surrounding me with encouragement — no blame at all.
That moment taught me more about teamwork and friendship than any victory ever could. The loss stung, but their unwavering support was a greater prize. I learned true strength isn’t never failing, but having people lift you up when you do. It’s about trust, forgiveness, and shared responsibility. From then on, I became a better player, teammate and friend. We didn’t get the trophy, but we gained something priceless: a bond that outlasted the final buzzer.
