My Sports Experience
When I was in junior high school, I was not interested in sports at all. I preferred reading books or playing computer games after class. As a result, I was quite weak and often got sick.
Everything changed when I entered senior high. Our school required all students to take part in morning exercises and afternoon sports activities. At first, I hated it. Running made me breathless, and I couldn’t play basketball well.
One day, our P.E. teacher noticed my problem and talked to me. He said, “Sports are not just about winning. They’re about challenging yourself and becoming stronger.” He suggested I start with swimming, which was easier on the body.
I followed his advice and joined the school swimming club. At first, I could only swim a few meters. But with daily practice, I gradually improved. After three months, I could swim 50 meters without stopping.
Now, I enjoy swimming very much. It has made me stronger and more energetic. I no longer get sick easily, and I even joined the school sports meeting last month. Sports have taught me that with persistence, anyone can improve.

What is the 15-minute city? It’s the urban planning concept that everything city residents need should be a short walk or bike ride away—about 15 minutes from home to work, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, schools, parks and health care. Supporters argue that 15-minute cities are healthier for residents and the environment, creating united mini-communities, boosting local businesses, and encouraging people to get outside,walk, and cycle.
Many cities across Europe offer similar ideas, but Paris has become its poster child. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to fight climate change by decreasing choking traffic in the streets and fuel emissions. In 2015, Paris was 17th on the list of bike-friendly cities; by 2019, it was 8th. Car ownership, meanwhile, dropped from 60 percent of house holds in 2001 to 35 percent in 2019. The 15-minute city figured largely in Hidalgo’s successful 2020 re-election campaign. The idea has also gained support in the U.S.
It clearly won’t work everywhere: Not every city is as centralized and walkable as Paris. Some car-dominated cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix would be hard-pressed to provide everything people need within walking distance. In addition, some urban planners argue that the 15-minute city could increase the separation of neighborhoods by income. Neighborhoods equipped with all the conveniences required by the 15-minute city also tend to have high housing costs and wealthier residents.
Despite some resistance, the basic principles behind the 15-minute city are influencing planning in cities around the world, including Melbourne, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Singapore, and Shanghai. Urban designer and thinker Jay Pitter says cities where basic needs are within walking distance create more individual freedom than needing to drive every where. “In a city where services are always close by,” he says, “mobility is a choice: You go where you want because you want to, not because you have to. My fight is not against the car. My fight is how we could improve the quality of life.”
8. Which best describes the 15-minute city?
A. Modern. B. Convenient.
C. Entertaining. D. Smart.
9. What’s the original intention for Paris to advocate the 15-minute city?
A. To address climate issues. B. To beautify the city.
C. To promote the bike industry. D. To help Hidalgo get re-elected.
10. What’s some urban planners’ worry about the 15-minute city?
A. It slows the city’s expansion.
B. It represents a setback for society.
C. It may widen the gap between neighborhoods.
D. It can cause the specialization of neighborhoods.
11. What’s Jay Pitter’s attitude to the concept of 15-minute city?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable.
C. Critical. D. Uninterested.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。15分钟城市的理念是城市居民需要的一切都应该是短距离步行或骑自行车出行——从家到上班、购物、娱乐、餐馆、学校、公园和医疗中心大约需要15分钟,这对于居民来说很方便。文章主要介绍了15分钟城市的理念的起源以及人们对该理念的不同观点。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“What is the 15-minute city? It’s the urban planning concept that everything city residents need should be a short walk or bike ride away—about 15 minutes from home to work, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, schools, parks and health care.(什么是15分钟城市?城市规划的理念是,城市居民需要的一切都应该是短距离步行或骑自行车出行——从家到上班、购物、娱乐、餐馆、学校、公园和医疗中心大约需要15分钟)”可知,15分钟城市的理念是城市居民需要的一切都应该是短距离步行或骑自行车出行——从家到上班、购物、娱乐、餐馆、学校、公园和医疗中心大约需要15分钟,这对于居民来说很方便,由此可推知,B项“Convenient(便利的)”这个词最能描述出15分钟城市的特点,故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many cities across Europe offer similar ideas, but Paris has become its poster child. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to fight climate change by decreasing choking traffic in the streets and fuel emissions. (欧洲许多城市都提供了类似的理念,但巴黎已成为其典型代表。市长Anne Hidalgo试图通过减少令人窒息的街道交通和燃料排放来应对气候变化)”可知,巴黎倡导15分钟城市的初衷是解决气候问题,故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In addition, some urban planners argue that the 15-minute city could increase the separation of neighborhoods by income. Neighborhoods equipped with all the conveniences required by the 15-minute city also tend to have high housing costs and wealthier residents.(此外,一些城市规划者认为,15分钟的城市可以加大社区的收入差距。拥有这个15分钟城市所需要的所有便利设施的社区往往住房成本较高,居民也较为富裕)”可知,一些城市规划者对这个15分钟城市的担心是,它可能会加大邻里之间的差距,故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Urban designer and thinker Jay Pitter says cities where basic needs are within walking distance create more individual freedom than needing to drive every where.(城市设计师和思想家Jay Pitter说,那些基本需求在步行距离之内的城市创造了比到处开车更多的个人自由)”可推知,Jay Pitter对15分钟城市理念的态度是赞成的,故选B。
D
If you’re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional roller-coaster that comes with sports spectatorship (观看). Whether you’re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium or watching a game at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and lows as you celebrate your favorite team or athlete. Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you?
The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater well-being than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by Anglia Ruskin University in the UK found that sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction, and this contributes to forging group identity and belonging.”
But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the internet may also have positive effects, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues. They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, sports spectators tended to have richer social networks than non-spectators. The authors suggest that the social networks gained through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms.
Cheering at sports events and discussing teams with friends promotes unity, reducing loneliness and depression, showing that sports’ health benefits extend beyond physical activity to include social bonding and overall well-being.
12. Why does the author mention Croatia’s study?
A. To offer an evidence. B. To present an example.
C. To describe a finding. D. To lead into a topic.
13. What does the underlined word “forging” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shaping. B. Mending. C. Breaking. D. Predicting.
14. What do Tsuji and colleagues advise people to do?
A. Stream sports matches. B. Play sports in person.
C. Expand social networks. D. Promote sports awareness.
15. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. How Risky Is Watching Live Sports?
B. What Is the Secret to Sports Spectatorship?
C. Is Watching Sports Good for Your Well-being?
D. Does Watching Sports Increase Depressive Symptoms?
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了观看体育比赛是否有利于健康。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you? (事实上,这些感受如此强烈,以至于克罗地亚一项在PubMed上发表的研究显示,观看足球比赛时的情绪压力会增加心血管事件发生的风险。但是,观看体育比赛也会对你有益吗?)”可知,作者提到克罗地亚的研究是为了引出话题,即观看体育比赛是否也有好处。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction, and this contributes to forging group identity and belonging. (观看各种类型的体育直播为社会互动提供了许多机会,这有助于forging群体认同和归属感。)”可知,观看各种现场体育比赛提供了许多社交互动的机会,这有助于塑造群体认同感和归属感。因此,forging在此处的意思是“塑造,形成”,与选项A“Shaping.(塑造)”相符。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Watching sports on TV or on the internet may also have positive effects, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues. (根据Tsuji及其同事的一项研究,通过电视或互联网观看体育比赛也可能产生积极影响。)”可知,Tsuji和他的同事们建议人们通过流媒体直播观看体育比赛。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“Whether you’re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium or watching a game at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and lows as you celebrate your favorite team or athlete. Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you? (无论是在体育场内置身于熙熙攘攘的人群中,还是在家通过电视观看比赛,当你为自己喜爱的球队或运动员加油时,都很容易陷入情绪的高涨与低落之中。事实上,这些感受如此强烈,以至于克罗地亚一项在PubMed上发表的研究显示,观看足球比赛时的情绪压力会增加心血管事件发生的风险。但是,观看体育比赛也会对你有益吗?)”和最后一段中“Cheering at sports events and discussing teams with friends promotes unity, reducing loneliness and depression, showing that sports’ health benefits extend beyond physical activity to include social bonding and overall well-being. (在体育赛事中欢呼并与朋友讨论球队促进了团结,减少了孤独感和抑郁情绪,这表明体育带来的健康益处不仅限于身体活动,还包括社交联系和整体幸福感。)”可知,文章主要讨论的是观看体育比赛是否有利于健康,所以最好的标题是“Is Watching Sports Good for Your Well-being? (看体育运动对你的健康有好处吗?)”。故选C。

Language Learner Habits to Avoid
Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.
Always being distracted (注意力分散的). Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of great importance in learning. ___16___ Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.
Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. ___17___ You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!
___18___ We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist (坚持) will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.
Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.” ___19___ And often, it comes after failing time and time again.
If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to think more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices. ___20___
A. Giving in to (屈服于) laziness.
B. Learning to get rid of laziness.
C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error (反复试验).
D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.
E. Success never comes from not trying.
F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.
G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是应该避免的语言学习习惯。
【16题详解】
根据段落主题句“Always being distracted (注意力分散的).(总是分心。)”可知,该段的主要内容与“分心”有关。空处上一句“Presence is of great importance in learning.(专心对学习很重要。)”介绍“不分心”对学习的重要性,空处下一句“Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.(学习无法弥补专注度的缺失——任何事物都无法弥补。)”强调没有什么可以弥补注意力的分散。因此设空处应该同样介绍注意力的重要性。分析选项内容可知,G项“Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.(没有它,你就无法注意到那些能帮助你进步的事情。)”说明了没有注意力会有什么后果,强调其重要性,符合语境;G项中的“that”指代上文中的“Presence”。故选G。
【17题详解】
由主旨句“Only talking the talk.(只是说说而已。)”可知,本段主要介绍“只说不做”这一不好的语言学习习惯。空前内容“There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through.(如果你不坚持到底,制定计划或谈论你要做什么就没有什么意义了。)”指出只有计划没有行动是没意义的,空后“You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!(你需要言行一致。如果你只是说说而已,也许这与下面提到的其他习惯之一有关!)”强调了行动的重要性。F项“Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.(行动才会产生结果,而不仅仅是靠言语或想法。)”强调了行动的重要性,承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
空处为段落主旨句,应与其他段落的主旨句在形式上保持一致,同时在内容上应概括介绍一种不好的语言学习习惯。根据下文“We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us.(如果我们做的事情不能激励我们,我们都会变得懒惰。)”可知,本段主要介绍“懒惰”相关的内容。因此A项“Giving in to (屈服于) laziness.(屈服于懒惰。)”说明了我们会屈服于懒惰,概括了本段主旨,可作为主旨句。故选A。
【19题详解】
空前““The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.”(托马斯·爱迪生曾经说过:“成功最可靠的方法就是再试一次。”)”说明了成功在于尝试,E项“Success never comes from not trying.(不尝试就永远不会成功)”可以承接上文;上文“succeed”和选项中“Success”是同根词复现。同时,E项中的“Success ... never comes”与下文的“it comes”是对比的逻辑关系,因此E选项承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
空处上一句“If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to think more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices.(如果你正在做这些,我的建议是更仔细地思考,看看你是否可以摆脱这些做法。)”鼓励人们要摆脱上文中提到的不良习惯,空格处应该说这么做的好处,D项“Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.(一旦你这样做了,你就会朝着更好的方向前进。)”承接上文内容,说明了如果你摆脱上文的不好的习惯的好处,do指代上文的“to think more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices”,因此符合语境。故选D。

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 翻译(共5小题,每小题4分,共20分)
46. Especially amazing is Ae Micas’ dry stone method of building.(英译汉)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】尤为令人惊叹的是埃・米卡斯的干石砌筑工艺。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子成分。分析句子可知,本句为倒装句(Especially amazing置于句首,强调主语Ae Micas’ dry stone method of building),正常语序为Ae Micas’ dry stone method of building is especially amazing,为主系表结构,Ae Micas’ dry stone method of building译为“埃・米卡斯的干石砌筑工艺”,作主语;especially amazing表“尤为令人惊叹”,为形容词短语作表语。故翻译为:尤为令人惊叹的是埃・米卡斯的干石砌筑工艺。
47. 正是由于这个原因,西班牙语是秘鲁主要的官方语言。(It is+被强调部分 +that+其他部分)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、介词短语和强调句型。分析句子可知,这里时态应用一般现在时表客观事实。表示“正是由于这个原因”应用It is for this reason that,为强调句型结构,被强调部分为for this reason(原因状语);表示“西班牙语”应用Spanish,为不可数名词作从句主语;表示“是”应用 is,遵循主谓一致原则(主语为单数概念,系动词用is);表示“秘鲁的主要的官方语言”应用 the main official language of Peru,为名词短语作表语,“main”修饰“official language”表“主要的”,“of Peru”表所属关系“秘鲁的”。故翻译为It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
48. Losing two important players was a big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. (英译汉)
【答案】失去两大主力队员是一个巨大的挑战,但郎平并没有灰心。
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查句子结构,非谓语动词等。分析可知,本句用转折连词but“但”连接了两个并列分句。前部分是主系表结构,主语Losing two important players“失去两大主力队员”为动名词作主语,was是系动词,a big challenge“一个巨大挑战”是表语;后半部分是主谓宾句型,主语为Lang Ping,助动词did not否定谓语,lose heart“失去信心;灰心”是固定短语。故可翻译为:失去两大主力队员是一个巨大的挑战,但郎平并没有灰心。
49. 在生活中,乔丹学会了与他人分享自己的成功。(share with)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】In life, Jordan learned to share his success with others.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定短语。“在生活中”表达为in life,作状语。“学会做某事”用learn to do sth.,这里描述过去发生的事,用一般过去时,learn的过去式是learned 。“与……分享……”表达为share... with...;“自己的成功”是his success,“他人”用others。故译为In life, Jordan learned to share his success with others.
50. 乔丹说,他成功秘诀在于吸取失败的教训。(the secret to) (汉译英)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failure.

My Sports Experience
When I was in junior high school, I was not interested in sports at all. I preferred reading books or playing computer games after class. As a result, I was quite weak and often got sick.
Everything changed when I entered senior high. Our school required all students to take part in morning exercises and afternoon sports activities. At first, I hated it. Running made me breathless, and I couldn’t play basketball well.
One day, our P.E. teacher noticed my problem and talked to me. He said, “Sports are not just about winning. They’re about challenging yourself and becoming stronger.” He suggested I start with swimming, which was easier on the body.
I followed his advice and joined the school swimming club. At first, I could only swim a few meters. But with daily practice, I gradually improved. After three months, I could swim 50 meters without stopping.
Now, I enjoy swimming very much. It has made me stronger and more energetic. I no longer get sick easily, and I even joined the school sports meeting last month. Sports have taught me that with persistence, anyone can improve.
4. What was the writer’s attitude towards sports in junior high?
A. He was very interested. B. He didn’t like them at all.
C. He loved playing basketball. D. He enjoyed morning exercises.
5. What changed the writer’s attitude towards sports?
A. Entering senior high and the P.E. teacher’s advice.
B. Winning a swimming competition.
C. Getting sick frequently.
D. His parents’ encouragement.
6. What sport did the writer start with in senior high?
A. Running. B. Basketball. C. Swimming. D. Football.
7. What has the writer learned from sports?
A. Winning is everything.
B. Persistence leads to improvement.
C. Some people are naturally better at sports.
D. Sports are not important for students.

What is the 15-minute city? It’s the urban planning concept that everything city residents need should be a short walk or bike ride away—about 15 minutes from home to work, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, schools, parks and health care. Supporters argue that 15-minute cities are healthier for residents and the environment, creating united mini-communities, boosting local businesses, and encouraging people to get outside,walk, and cycle.
Many cities across Europe offer similar ideas, but Paris has become its poster child. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to fight climate change by decreasing choking traffic in the streets and fuel emissions. In 2015, Paris was 17th on the list of bike-friendly cities; by 2019, it was 8th. Car ownership, meanwhile, dropped from 60 percent of house holds in 2001 to 35 percent in 2019. The 15-minute city figured largely in Hidalgo’s successful 2020 re-election campaign. The idea has also gained support in the U.S.
It clearly won’t work everywhere: Not every city is as centralized and walkable as Paris. Some car-dominated cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix would be hard-pressed to provide everything people need within walking distance. In addition, some urban planners argue that the 15-minute city could increase the separation of neighborhoods by income. Neighborhoods equipped with all the conveniences required by the 15-minute city also tend to have high housing costs and wealthier residents.
Despite some resistance the basic principles behind the 15-minute city are influencing planning in cities around the world, including Melbourne, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Singapore, and Shanghai. Urban designer and thinker Jay Pitter says cities where basic needs are within walking distance create more individual freedom than needing to drive every where. “In a city where services are always close by,” he says, “mobility is a choice: You go where you want because you want to, not because you have to. My fight is not against the car. My fight is how we could improve the quality of life.”
8. Which best describes the 15-minute city?
A. Modern. B. Convenient.
C. Entertaining. D. Smart.
9. What’s the original intention for Paris to advocate the 15-minute city?
A. To address climate issues. B. To beautify the city.
C. To promote the bike industry. D. To help Hidalgo get re-elected.
10. What’s some urban planners’ worry about the 15-minute city?
A. It slows the city’s expansion.
B. It represents a setback for society.
C. It may widen the gap between neighborhoods.
D. It can cause the specialization of neighborhoods.
11. What’s Jay Pitter’s attitude to the concept of 15-minute city?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable.
C. Critical. D. Uninterested.
D
If you’re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional roller-coaster that comes with sports spectatorship (观看). Whether you’re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium or watching a game at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and lows as you celebrate your favorite team or athlete. Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular (心血管的) incident. But can watching sports also be beneficial for you?
The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater well-being than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by Anglia Ruskin University in the UK found that sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction, and this contributes to forging group identity and belonging.”
But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the internet may also have positive effects, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues. They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, sports spectators tended to have richer social networks than non-spectators. The authors suggest that the social networks gained through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms.
Cheering at sports events and discussing teams with friends promotes unity, reducing loneliness and depression, showing that sports’ health benefits extend beyond physical activity to include social bonding and overall well-being.
12. Why does the author mention Croatia’s study?
A. To offer an evidence. B. To present an example.
C. To describe a finding. D. To lead into a topic.
13. What does the underlined word “forging” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shaping. B. Mending. C. Breaking. D. Predicting.
14. What do Tsuji and colleagues advise people to do?
A. Stream sports matches. B. Play sports in person.
C. Expand social networks. D. Promote sports awareness.
15. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. How Risky Is Watching Live Sports?
B. What Is the Secret to Sports Spectatorship?
C. Is Watching Sports Good for Your Well-being?
