The advertisement said there’s no garage, but I can park on the road outside. M: Yes. It’s a nice house. I suppose it’s not exactly modern, but it’s clean and has all the things you need: washing machine, cooker and fridge. There’s no garden, which is a shame. But all in all, I’m happy with it. W: Right, then. I’d like to see it myself this afternoon. M: You’d better give the house owner a ring to see if she’s free. W: OK, good idea. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What do our brains do when we sleep? A. Push away bad thoughts. B. Re-experience different events. C. Organize and improve our memories. 18. Which stage of sleep is the most important according to recent experiments? A. The first stage. B. The third stage. C. The fifth stage. 19. What makes our days longer and the nights shorter? A. The busy modern lifestyle. B. The lack of darkness. C. The increase in age. 20. What will the speaker talk about next class? A. The two types of sleep. B. The reason for less sleep. C. The effect of lack of sleep on health. 【答案】17. C 18. C 19. A 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: OK. Turning to the stages of sleep, according to the scientists, there are five stages in a night’s sleep. In different stages of sleep, our brains put together thoughts and experiences, and then store them in an organized way, giving us clearer memories. Recent experiments suggest that the final stage of sleep is the most important. I also want to talk about things that can stop us sleeping well. One of them is too much light. Street lights and security lights mean that even when we’re asleep, it’s never completely dark. Another problem is the busy modern life with the Internet, 24-hour shopping, global travel, etc. Because of this, our days are becoming longer and the nights shorter — and this could also damage our health, as we’re not getting enough sleep. People say that we sleep less as we get older, but everybody’s different — some people need more sleep, others less. There are two types of sleep — NREM and REM. Next class we will talk about them and how each of them affects our overall sleep quality. 第二部分 阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Edinburgh is famous for its many museums where you can learn its rich history.

Particularly interesting is the “tour” around the eleven Earthscapes.(互动式展览可以让游客通过电脑软件体验地震、海底、冰河时代和山脉。特别有趣的是围绕11个地球景观的“游览”)”可知，你能在Our Dynamic Earth进行虚拟世界之旅。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The museum is home to numerous paintings, books and manuscripts (手稿), and you can also see Burns’ writing desk and Scott’s chess set.(博物馆里有许多绘画、书籍和手稿，你还可以看到伯恩斯的写字台和斯科特的国际象棋)”以及最后一段“The natural world, science and technology, discoveries, art, and world cultures are all explored.(自然世界，科学技术，发现，艺术和世界文化都被探索)”可知，作家博物馆和苏格兰国家博物馆的共同之处是都有一种艺术氛围。故选D。 B In Chef Ana Manhao Sou’s mind, her restaurant, Belos Tempos, represents the home-cooked meals of Macao-born Portuguese. Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s. Following her retirement in 2013, she started her culinary (烹饪) business by opening Belos Tempos. Located in Rua da Felicidade, one of Macao’s most historic and tourist- centric streets, the small two- story restaurant serves Portuguese and Macao food. The menu s at the restaurant are written in English, Portuguese and Chinese. Sou is keen on creating Macao food and spreading the word about its traditional and cultural value. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young individuals how to cook all the dishes in her knowledge. She highlighted that a rich variety of spices is a notable characteristic. The culinary tradition embraces spices from India, Indonesia, and ingredients from other countries along the sea trade route, including curry, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and saffron. Tacho is one of Sou’s signature dishes, representing the typical flavors of a Portuguese household in Macao. According to her, the term tacho in Portuguese translates to big plate. This dish holds special significance for Portuguese families in Macao during Christmas, as Sou explains, “While turkey might not grace our table, tacho is a must, enjoyed only once a year.” Tacho is a culinary mixture, combining diverse Chinese and Western ingredients. Sou emphasizes the individuality of each family’s tacho, with variations reflecting treasured, handed-down recipes. Common components include stewed chicken, pig’s trotters, cured duck legs, sausages, fried pig skin, and cabbage. Sou believes that the current trend of traditional cuisine is promising, thanks to the support from the local government. As Sou mentioned, Macao was named a Creative City of Gastronomy (美食) by UNESCO in 2017. The local government has since introduced a comprehensive set of initiatives to enhance the preservation and inheritance of its cuisine. Together with other chefs, Sou has been making a sustained effort to help this historical record of the city to continue to shine. 24. What do we know about Belos Tempos? A. It is co-managed by Sou and her parents. B. It is located in the quietest street of Macao. C. It features a variety of spices from Portugal. D. It serves a mix of Eastern and Western foods. 25. How does Sou contribute to the culinary industry in Macao? A. By preserving and promoting traditional cuisine. B. By creating multi-lingual menus for restaurants. C. By teaching people to cook typical Chinese food. D. By improving her family-treasured recipe of Tacho. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Sou is optimistic about the future of Portuguese cuisine. B. Macao has been a creative city of cuisine since its foundation. C. The Macao government highly encourages traditional cuisine. D. Chefs’ efforts have led to the city’s sustainable development. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Creation of Macao Food B. When Portugal Meets Macao C Sou’s Signature Dishes Shine D. Current Trends of Traditional Cuisine 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27.

Now, researchers may have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism: Global warming. While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior, this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate, forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs. The researchers examined a layer of sediment (沉积物) in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy, in southeastern France. In that layer, charcoal (碳) and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago. They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today, and that the change from a cold, dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly. “Maybe within a few generations”, study co-author Emmanuel said. As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find — their neighbors. Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals, and has been practiced by humans and their relatives “from the early Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age and beyond,” the study authors reported. The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as “a mark of bestiality (兽性) or sub-humanity”, but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress, according to the study. 28. What does the study mainly focus on? A. The social behavior of Neanderthals. B. The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals. C. The climate change in southeastern France. D. The influence of global warming on ancient animals. 29. What can possibly be used to describe the climate in southeastern France 120,000 to 130,000 years ago? A. It was no warmer than it is today. B. It was first warm while later cold and dry. C. Its change was mild and went through quite a long process. D. Its change is a chief factor contributing to cannibalism. 30. Which of the following might the study authors agree with? A. Neanderthals’ cannibalism showed their bestiality. B. Cannibalism was actually a measure the Neanderthals had to adopt to survive. C. Neanderthals’ cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes. D. Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history. 31. Where can you most possibly find this passage? A. In a science journal. B. In a travel brochure. C. In a history book. D. In a geography book. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现，尼安德特人的食人行为是气候变化引发的悲剧。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章第一段“researchers may have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism (研究人员可能已经弄明白了为什么尼安德特人，包括两个孩子成为食人族的受害者)”以及第二段“this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. (这是第一次提供线索，说明了是什么原因导致尼安德特人成为食人族)”可知，此次研究主要聚焦于尼安德特人食人的原因是什么。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today, and that the change from a cold, dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly. (他们发现，该地区的气候可能比今天更温暖，而且从寒冷干燥的气候到温暖的气候变化很快就发生了)”以及“As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find (随着曾经居住在这片土地上的动物消失，一些尼安德特人吃他们能找到的东西)”可推知，12至13万年前的法国东南部的气候状况使该地区动物逐渐消失，从而导致了食人现象的发生。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第四段“The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as “a mark of bestiality or sub-humanity”, but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress (因此，在Baume Moula-Guercy，饥饿的尼安德特人所采取的行为不应被视为“兽性或亚人类的标志”，这是一种对严重环境压力时期的紧急适应)”可推知，作者认为食人族的行为不过是一种适应环境的无奈的选择。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“Now, researchers may have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism: Global warming. (现在，研究人员可能已经弄明白了为什么尼安德特人，包括两个孩子成为食人族的受害者：因为全球变暖)”可推知，文章主要介绍了科学家对于尼安德特人食人现象的研究，出处可能是科学期刊。故选A项。 D To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words. A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意的) people. The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people. For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively helped other people. Drawing on these response sheets, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior. They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly able to relate to others the most. The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so, picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place. 32. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By making questionnaire surveys. B. By comparing experiment statistics. C. By observing participants’ behaviors. D. By referring to previous study reports. 33. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Embarrassing. B. Satisfying. C. Amazing. D. Disappointing. 34. What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study? A. Reading fiction and comedy. B. Enjoying romance and drama. C. Taking part in social activities. D. Watching plays on social media. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. All people support the research result. B. Further study is needed on this subject. C. The nicer and kinder people like reading. D. Reading can help people make more friends. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明常读书，尤其是小说的人更友善、善解人意，而看电视的人则相反。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills.(在这项研究中，研究人员询问了123人对书籍、电视节目和戏剧的偏好。他们还被问及他们更喜欢哪种娱乐类型，从喜剧或浪漫到戏剧。随后，他们接受了人际交往能力的测试)”和第四段中的“Drawing on these response sheets, the researchers found some mind-boggling results.(根据这些调查表，研究人员发现了一些令人难以置信的结果)”可知，研究人员是通过问卷调查进行研究的。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words.(让书虫们高兴的是，任何曾经告诉过你埋头读书意味着你不会社交的人都不得不收回自已的话)”和第四段中的“They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others(他们发现那些阅读更多的人表现出更积极的社交行为和更好的同情他人的能力)”可知，与以往认知“埋头读书意味着你不会社交”相反，研究人员发现，那些阅读量大的人表现出更积极的社会行为，更能与他人产生共鸣，此研究结果令人惊讶。由此可知，画线词mind-boggling的意思应该是“令人吃惊的”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意的) people.(一项新的研究表明，那些经常阅读，尤其是经常阅读小说的人实际上是更友善、更有同理心的人)”以及第五段中的“Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly able to relate to others the most.(爱情故事和戏剧爱好者表现出了理解他人观点的能力，而喜剧迷尤其擅长与他人产生共鸣)”可知，经常阅读小说的人更有同理心，而喜剧迷尤其能够与他人产生共鸣。由此推知，读小说和喜剧最能让人善解人意。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction?(然而，他们确实承认，他们的研究并没有得出结论，这些影响是不是有因果关系——是阅读会让人变得更好、更有同理心，还是更有同理心的人更喜欢阅读小说？)”可推知，这个问题需要进一步研究。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you like cilantro(香菜)? Cilantro is a common food that people tend to either adore or abuse. ____36____ But the reasons behind what you like and don’t like are not always so straightforward. ____37____ Your sense of smell allows you to distinguish between something like strawberry and cherry. Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor. ____38____ When you’re open to these foods, you learn to like what you eat. Even people who hate cilantro may be able to learn to at least tolerate it, if not like it. Culture plays a big role in what you like, too. Food preferences vary across cultures. When it comes down to food preferences in different parts of the world, it has a lot to do with what’s available and considered a food staple (主食).____39____But there will always be exceptions-a Greek person who can’t stand olives or a Dutch person who hates cheese. While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect. ____40____ Jasmine Robinson, 29, from Athens, shared her story about olives. When she was young, another child, who wouldn’t let her have a turn on a swing, made fun of her while eating olives from a jar and being mean. She later tried olives as an adult but failed. A. We like sweet and hate bitter. B. Love it or hate it is pretty clear. C. But your biology is not everything. D. It is related to familiarity and not biology. E. Your preference can come down to genetics. F. Associations can make you like or not like something. G. Just one bad experience can turn you off from something for life. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章分析讲述了人们对食物有所偏好的原因。 【36题详解】 前文“Cilantro is a common food that people tend to either adore or abuse.( 香菜是一种常见的食物，人们要么喜欢它，要么讨厌它。)”提到人们对香菜的喜好，下文“But the reasons behind what you like and don’t like are not always so straightforward.(但你喜欢什么和不喜欢什么背后的原因并不总是那么直截了当。)”提到了喜好的原因并不那么简单，因此推断空处需承上启下，B项“爱它或恨它是很清楚的。”符合语境，承接上文说明对食物的喜好简单明了，因此下文对偏好背后原因的探索。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor.( 科学家们观察了嗅觉受体，发现具有某种基因的个体。OR6A2对香菜的气味更敏感。这反过来又影响了人们对其味道的感知。)”可知，此处讲述了基因对食物偏爱的影响，因此推断E项“你的偏好可以归结为基因”符合语境。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据前文“cientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor.( 科学家们观察了嗅觉受体，发现具有某种基因的个体。OR6A2对香菜的气味更敏感。这反过来又影响了人们对其味道的感知。)”可知，基因造成了对食物的偏好，下文“When you’re open to these foods, you learn to like what you eat. Even people who hate cilantro may be able to learn to at least tolerate it, if not like it.( 当你对这些食物敞开心扉时，你就会学会喜欢你吃的东西。即使是讨厌香菜的人，即使不喜欢它，至少也能学会忍受它。)”讲述如果学会接受，对食物偏好也会改变，与上文是转折关系，因此推断C项“但生理并不是一切。”符合语境，承上启下。故选C。 【39题详解】 前文“Culture plays a big role in what you like, too. Food preferences vary across cultures. When it comes down to food preferences in different parts of the world, it has a lot to do with what’s available and considered a food staple (主食).( 文化对你的喜好也起着很大的作用。不同文化对食物的偏好各不相同。当谈到世界不同地区的食物偏好时，它与什么是可用的和被认为是主食有很大关系。)”讲述对食物的喜好与文化有关，D项“这与熟悉程度有关，与生物学无关。”符合语境，说明对食物的熟悉程度决定着喜好，it指代上文提到的文化对喜好的影响。故选D。 【40题详解】 前文“While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect.(虽然偏好可以在几次尝试后形成，但对食物的负面体验，尤其是在你年轻的时候，可能会产生持久的影响。)”讲述对食物的体验对偏好的影响，G项中的“bad experience”呼应前文的experiences，因此推断G项“一次糟糕的经历就能让你对某件事失去兴趣。”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Life can be unexpectedly tough.

The 65. left 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了篆书的历史。 【56题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：篆书是中国古代的一种文字形式，在公元前 1000 年的后半期很常见。分析该句的结构可知，空前的that引导定语从句，指代前面Seal script ( 篆书)，又根据时间状语the latter half of 1000 BC可知句子描述的是过去的情况，时态为一般过去时，该空用was。故填was。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：它有机地从周文字发展而来。所填词在句中修饰动词developed，作状语，应用副词形式，organic的副词是organically。故填 organically。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：起初，篆书没有统一性，许多字有不同的写法，直到公元前 221 年，秦始皇统一了中国，建立了中央集权政府。in different forms是固定搭配，意为“以不同的形式”。故填 in。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：起初，篆书没有统一性，许多字有不同的写法，直到公元前 221 年，秦始皇统一了中国，建立了中央集权政府。分析句子结构可知，空处所在句子是一个非限制性定语从句，从句中主语为“the first emperor of Qin”，谓语为“united”，宾语为“the whole of China”，主谓宾齐全，先行词为221 BC，指代时间，故用关系副词when。故填 when。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他命令李斯收集整理全国不同地区仍在使用的各种文字系统，努力将书面语统一为一种系统。分析该句成分可知，所填词在句中修饰名词抽象语意名词effort，用动词不定式作后置定语，故填to unite。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：李斯成功完成了这项任务，创造了古代的篆书（小篆）。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词 completed，且空格处没有连词，所以空格处应用非谓语动词，create与逻辑主语 Li Si之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填 creating。 【62题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：从那时起，秦版篆书最终成为标准，并在秦朝被全中国采用为正式文字。分析句子结构可知，and连接两个并列的谓语动词，became是一般过去时，adopt与主语 the Qin version of seal script之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为 was/were + 过去分词，主语是单数，所以用 was，adopt的过去分词是 adopted。故填 was adopted。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：今天，在山东泰山岱庙有一块石碑，上面刻有这种古老的文字，这是李斯所创，是我们的文化遗迹。此处修饰名词 relic，应用形容词形式，culture的形容词是 cultural。故填cultural。 【64题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这块有 2200 年历史的石头，因年代和天气而磨损，上面只剩下九个半字。该空特指前一句中的a stone standing in the Dai Temple of Mount Tai，故此处用定冠词the，句首单词首字母要大写。故填The。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这块有 2200 年历史的石头，因年代和天气而磨损，上面只剩下九个半字。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词 has，且空格处没有连词，所以空格处应用非谓语动词，leave与逻辑主语 nine and a half characters之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填 left。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你的好友Jack想提高自己的中文写作水平，发邮件请你推荐一门网课。请给他回复一封邮件，内容包括： 1.你的推荐； 2.说明理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jack, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack, I’m glad that you’re interested in improving your Chinese writing.

Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate. One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape. As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect. But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer. Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了野生动物摄影爱好者Sarah在追逐摄影梦想的过程中，偶然发现一只被困猎夹的狐狸，面临艺术追求与生命救助的抉择。她最终放弃拍摄机会选择救助动物，并由此转变人生方向，将摄影与动物保护结合，用镜头传递更深层的生态关怀。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不一会儿，一些救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了。”以及第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知，第一段可描写救援人员的及时相助救下了狐狸。而Sarah也决定加入救援团队，成为一名志愿者。 ②由第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知，第二段可描写Sarah决定将摄影和救援小动物相结合。 2.续写线索：不久后，救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了——救援人员小心翼翼靠近狐狸，安抚着小动物——他们将狐狸从陷阱中救出来——Sarah看着这一切，决定加入救援团队，成为一名志愿者——加入救援团队后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想——狐狸的事情让她深有感触——她决定将自己对摄影的热爱和救援小动物结合起来——此后，她的摄影风格发生了改变，她对人与自然的关系也有了新的看法 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/ come close to ②决定：decide/ make a decision to/determine ③致力于：commit oneself to/ devote oneself to 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened/ terrified ②缓和：relief/ easement 【点睛】【高分句型1】No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief.（运用了no sooner…than…引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。IT was Sunny and warm yesterday, but the wind is really blowing hard now.

B In Chef Ana Manhao Sou’s mind, her restaurant, Belos Tempos, represents the home-cooked meals of Macao-born Portuguese. Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s. Following her retirement in 2013, she started her culinary (烹饪) business by opening Belos Tempos. Located in Rua da Felicidade, one of Macao’s most historic and tourist- centric streets, the small two- story restaurant serves Portuguese and Macao food. The menu s at the restaurant are written in English, Portuguese and Chinese. Sou is keen on creating Macao food and spreading the word about its traditional and cultural value. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young individuals how to cook all the dishes in her knowledge. She highlighted that a rich variety of spices is a notable characteristic. The culinary tradition embraces spices from India, Indonesia, and ingredients from other countries along the sea trade route, including curry, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and saffron. Tacho is one of Sou’s signature dishes, representing the typical flavors of a Portuguese household in Macao. According to her, the term tacho in Portuguese translates to big plate. This dish holds special significance for Portuguese families in Macao during Christmas, as Sou explains, “While turkey might not grace our table, tacho is a must, enjoyed only once a year.” Tacho is a culinary mixture, combining diverse Chinese and Western ingredients. Sou emphasizes the individuality of each family’s tacho, with variations reflecting treasured, handed-down recipes. Common components include stewed chicken, pig’s trotters, cured duck legs, sausages, fried pig skin, and cabbage. Sou believes that the current trend of traditional cuisine is promising, thanks to the support from the local government. As Sou mentioned, Macao was named a Creative City of Gastronomy (美食) by UNESCO in 2017. The local government has since introduced a comprehensive set of initiatives to enhance the preservation and inheritance of its cuisine. Together with other chefs, Sou has been making a sustained effort to help this historical record of the city to continue to shine. 24. What do we know about Belos Tempos? A. It is co-managed by Sou and her parents. B. It is located in the quietest street of Macao. C. It features a variety of spices from Portugal. D. It serves a mix of Eastern and Western foods. 25. How does Sou contribute to the culinary industry in Macao? A. By preserving and promoting traditional cuisine. B. By creating multi-lingual menus for restaurants. C. By teaching people to cook typical Chinese food. D. By improving her family-treasured recipe of Tacho. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Sou is optimistic about the future of Portuguese cuisine. B. Macao has been a creative city of cuisine since its foundation. C. The Macao government highly encourages traditional cuisine. D. Chefs’ efforts have led to the city’s sustainable development. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Creation of Macao Food B. When Portugal Meets Macao C. Sou’s Signature Dishes Shine D. Current Trends of Traditional Cuisine C Six Neanderthals who lived in what is now France were eaten by their fellow Neanderthals some 100,000 years ago, according to fearful evidence of the cannibalistic (食人的) event discovered by scientists in a cave in the 1990s. Now, researchers may have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism: Global warming. While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior, this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate, forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs. The researchers examined a layer of sediment (沉积物) in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy, in southeastern France. In that layer, charcoal (碳) and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago. They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today, and that the change from a cold, dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly. “Maybe within a few generations”, study co-author Emmanuel said. As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find — their neighbors. Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals, and has been practiced by humans and their relatives “from the early Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age and beyond,” the study authors reported. The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as “a mark of bestiality (兽性) or sub-humanity”, but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress, according to the study. 28. What does the study mainly focus on? A. The social behavior of Neanderthals. B. The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals. C. The climate change in southeastern France. D. The influence of global warming on ancient animals. 29. What can possibly be used to describe the climate in southeastern France 120,000 to 130,000 years ago? A. It was no warmer than it is today. B. It was first warm while later cold and dry. C Its change was mild and went through quite a long process. D. Its change is a chief factor contributing to cannibalism. 30. Which of the following might the study authors agree with? A. Neanderthals’ cannibalism showed their bestiality. B. Cannibalism was actually a measure the Neanderthals had to adopt to survive. C. Neanderthals’ cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes. D. Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history. 31. Where can you most possibly find this passage? A. In a science journal. B. In a travel brochure. C. In a history book. D. In a geography book. D To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words. A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意的) people. The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people. For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively helped other people. Drawing on these response sheets, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior. They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly able to relate to others the most. The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so, picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place. 32. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By making questionnaire surveys. B. By comparing experiment statistics. C. By observing participants’ behaviors. D. By referring to previous study reports. 33. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Embarrassing. B. Satisfying. C. Amazing. D. Disappointing. 34. What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study? A. Reading fiction and comedy. B. Enjoying romance and drama. C. Taking part in social activities. D. Watching plays on social media. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. All people support the research result. B. Further study is needed on this subject. C. The nicer and kinder people like reading. D. Reading can help people make more friends. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you like cilantro(香菜)?

Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate. One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape. As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect. But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
