I am excited to have the opportunity to present my science fair project to you today. Thank you for taking the time to listen. For this year’s science fair, I created a new project. My project focused on solar power and how it can be used in daily life, because I am very interested in finding ways to use clean and environmentally friendly power. To study that, I built a small solar-powered car and tested its performance compared to a regular battery-powered car. Then, I tested both cars in different weather conditions to see how well they worked. After several tests, I found that the solar car was able to run for longer periods when it was sunny, but the battery-powered car was more reliable on cloudy days. Through this project, I learned a lot about the importance of clean energy and got inspired to continue exploring clean energy solutions in the future. 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 Fascinating Non-Fiction Science Books for Curious Minds Whether you’re a lifelong learner or someone dipping their toes into science for the first time, the following science books might just be your ideal companions, promising to amaze, inspire and make you a little more knowledgeable about the world around you.

(在这本引人入胜的书中，尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森将复杂的理念——从大爆炸到暗物质，从时空起源到黑洞——简化成易于理解的简短解释。)”可知，这本书的重点在于解释宇宙的奥秘。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body部分的描述“In Your Inner Fish, paleontologist Neil Shubin explores how human body developed over time, tracing traits like arms and organs back to ancient fish through fossils. (在《你内心的鱼》一书中，古生物学家尼尔·舒宾探索了人体是如何随时间演化的，通过化石将手臂和器官等特征追溯到古代鱼类。)”可知，尼尔·舒宾在书中主要研究人体的演化过程。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Genius of Birds部分的描述“Based on the latest cutting-edge research and fascinating field studies, Ackerman reveals how birds demonstrate incredible problem-solving skills, memory, creativity and even the ability to use tools. This popular science book will open your eyes to the surprising cognitive abilities of birds. (基于最新的前沿研究和引人入胜的实地研究，阿克曼揭示了鸟类如何展现出令人难以置信的问题解决能力、记忆力、创造力甚至使用工具的能力。这本科普书将为你打开眼界，让你了解鸟类令人惊讶的认知能力。)”可知，詹妮弗·阿克曼在她的书中揭示了鸟类具有认知能力。故选A项。 B Any good recipe needs an ingredient list, a cooking method, and if it’s particularly successful, there will be a personal touch describing how the recipe was developed through repeated tests until it was just right. It is a balance of these elements in recipes that ensures good cookbooks are the most important part of any kitchen. Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in. Written by journalist Ros Atkins, it is a recipe book for storytelling, made to be roughly looked through. The “ingredient list” is information required to communicate effectively. The methodology is given according to the different settings. In this book, Atkins presents a seven-step method for giving a great explanation, from getting the main information to giving information in an easy-to-understand way. Reviewing a book of this nature is a test of how well I have understood the information in this guide. The most important parts of the method include: gathering information effectively; communicating it clearly; and achieving the delivery. But, for me, it is not this method that makes this book interesting but the “personal touch” stories, which draw on Atkins’ life, that give this book its edge. I was most drawn to the practical examples in The Art of Explanation, because it offered a chance to know more about Atkins’ career, from starting out as a graduate to taking a new approach to explanation on a BBC’s program, Outside Source. As Atkins puts it himself, “Tell a good story, so people will pay attention to your every word.” Stories, and how they are told, are at the heart of journalism. It is no surprise that the stories told in the book are particularly attractive, such as how Atkins began his journalism career as a junior reporter in South Africa. These stories make The Art of Explanation worth reading, moving it from a textbook to something that works like a well-written cookbook. 24. Why does the author mention recipes in the first paragraph? A. To explain what a good recipe should be like. B. To compare them to effective communication. C. To encourage readers to make dishes themselves. D. To stress the importance of the personal touch in a book. 25. What makes The Art of Explanation interesting? A. The ingredient list. B. The seven-step method. C. The personal stories of Atkins. D. The way to deliver the message. 26. What does the author think of the book? A. It should be read word for word. B. It is written in an easy-to-understand way. C. The method introduced in the book is boring. D. The way that it tells stories is quite worth learning. 27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Health. C. Entertainment. D. Science. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要对一本名为《解释的艺术：如何清晰自信地沟通》的书籍进行了评述，介绍了书籍的内容和特点，并表达了作者对于该书的看法和评价。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Any good recipe needs an ingredient list, a cooking method, and if it’s particularly successful, there will be a personal touch describing how the recipe was developed through repeated tests until it was just right. It is a balance of these elements in recipes that ensures good cookbooks are the most important part of any kitchen.(任何好的食谱都需要一个配料表，一个烹饪方法，如果它特别成功，就会有一个个人的风格，描述如何通过反复的测试来开发食谱，直到它是正确的。这是食谱中这些元素的平衡，确保好的食谱是任何厨房中最重要的部分)”以及第二段“Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in.(良好的沟通就像做一道菜。这就是《解释的艺术：如何清晰而自信地沟通》的用武之地)”可知，作者在第一段提到食谱是为了将它们与有效的沟通进行比较。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But, for me, it is not this method that makes this book interesting but the “personal touch” stories, which draw on Atkins’ life, that give this book its edge.(但是，对我来说，并不是这种方法让这本书变得有趣，而是那些取材于阿特金斯生活的“个人接触”故事，给这本书带来了优势)”可知，阿特金斯的个人故事让《解释的艺术》如此有趣。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As Atkins puts it himself, “Tell a good story, so people will pay attention to your every word.” Stories, and how they are told, are at the heart of journalism. It is no surprise that the stories told in the book are particularly attractive, such as how Atkins began his journalism career as a junior reporter in South Africa. These stories make The Art of Explanation worth reading, moving it from a textbook to something that works like a well-written cookbook.(正如阿特金斯自己所说，“讲一个好故事，这样人们就会注意到你说的每一个字。”故事以及故事的讲述方式是新闻的核心。毫不奇怪，书中讲述的故事特别吸引人，比如阿特金斯是如何从南非的一名初级记者开始他的新闻生涯的。这些故事让《解释的艺术》值得一读，让它从教科书变成了一本写得很好的烹饪书)”可知，作者认为这本书讲故事的方式非常值得学习。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in. Written by journalist Ros Atkins, it is a recipe book for storytelling, made to be roughly looked through. The “ingredient list” is information required to communicate effectively. The methodology is given according to the different settings.(良好的沟通就像做一道菜。这就是《解释的艺术：如何清晰而自信地沟通》的用武之地。这本书由记者罗斯·阿特金斯(Ros Atkins)撰写，是一本讲故事的食谱，可以粗略地看一遍。“成分表”是有效沟通所需的信息。根据不同的设置给出了方法)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要对一本名为《解释的艺术：如何清晰自信地沟通》的书籍进行了评述，介绍了书籍的内容和特点，所以应是来自教育板块。故选A项。 C When chain store Jewel opened at Singapore’s Changi Airport six years ago, it changed the idea of what an airport could be. Instead of being just a stop on the way to somewhere else, it became a destination itself. For this reason, many airports began to think how to be local. Many new airports try to reflect their surroundings. Their architecture may take inspiration from local mountains, rivers, or coastlines. Yantai Penglai International Airport in China, for example, uses soft curves (曲线) and natural materials to “echo the landscape” around it. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) expanded this idea to its Terminal 1. “Even if you’re not going into the city, you get a snapshot of what San Francisco and the Bay Area are all about,” says spokesperson Doug Yakel. From local food to Bay Area artwork and quiet rest areas, the terminal offers a preview of the city’s lifestyle. Some airports go a step further by attracting people who are not flying at all. Portland International Airport (PDX) did this as early as the 1980s with a shopping hall. Its newest terminal, opened in 2024, was designed to feel like “a path through the forest,” with wide views of Portland’s natural scenery. Parking data already shows a rise in visitors who come simply to look, eat, or shop. Others hope to follow. Denver International Airport is trying to copy Changi’s success. Yet its remote location — 20 miles from downtown — remains a major barrier. For now, few locals see it as a place to visit for leisure. Whether it can be truly turned into a local destination remains an open question. 28. What inspires the design of Penglai International Airport? A. The city images. B. The food culture. C. The natural scenes. D. The public artwork. 29. What does the underlined word “snapshot” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preview. B. Map. C. Sample. D. Postcard. 30. How does PDX attract people who are not flying? A. By providing more free parking. B. By introducing more new brands. C. By offering a forest-like experience. D. By expanding the original terminal. 31. What can be inferred about Denver International Airport? A. Its construction will be started in no time. B. Its design is lacking in local cultural elements. C. The local people look forward to its rebuilding. D. The distant location may reduce its appeal to locals. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了机场如何通过融入当地特色来吸引旅客和当地人，成为旅游目的地。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Their architecture may take inspiration from local mountains, rivers, or coastlines. Yantai Penglai International Airport in China, for example, uses soft curves (曲线) and natural materials to “echo the landscape” around it.(它们的建筑可能从当地的山脉、河流或海岸线中汲取灵感。例如，中国的烟台蓬莱国际机场采用柔和的曲线和天然材料，以“呼应”其周围的景观)”可知，蓬莱国际机场的设计灵感来自自然景观。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Even if you’re not going into the city(即使你不进入这座城市)”和“From local food to Bay Area artwork and quiet rest areas, the terminal offers a preview of the city’s lifestyle.(从当地美食到湾区艺术品和安静的休息区，航站楼提供了一个城市生活方式的预览)”可知，此处指即使你不进入这座城市，你也能从航站楼里对旧金山和海湾地区有个大致的了解，snapshot意为“预览，大致印象”，与Preview意思相近。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some airports go a step further by attracting people who are not flying at all. Portland International Airport (PDX) did this as early as the 1980s with a shopping hall. Its newest terminal, opened in 2024, was designed to feel like “a path through the forest,” with wide views of Portland’s natural scenery. Parking data already shows a rise in visitors who come simply to look, eat, or shop.(有些机场则更进一步，吸引那些根本不乘飞机出行的人。早在20世纪80年代，波特兰国际机场（PDX）就打造了一个购物大厅来吸引人群。其最新落成的航站楼于2024年启用，设计风格让人仿佛“漫步于森林小径”，可饱览波特兰的自然风光。停车数据显示，单纯前来观光、用餐或购物的访客数量已有所增加)”可知，PDX通过提供类似森林的体验来吸引不乘飞机的人。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Denver International Airport is trying to copy Changi’s success. Yet its remote location — 20 miles from downtown — remains a major barrier. For now, few locals see it as a place to visit for leisure.(丹佛国际机场正试图复制樟宜机场的成功。然而，它的偏远位置——距离市中心20英里——仍然是一个主要障碍)”可知，丹佛国际机场的偏远位置可能会降低其对当地人的吸引力。故选D。 D Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (鱼饵) on the end of a fishing rod. However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye. The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions. So, what makes worms so great? Earthworms move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they expose the soil to the fresh air by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it, which increases the ground’s ability to hold and drain water. They are effectively a small but very efficient farming tool. But it’s not just earthworms that deserve praise. In 2022, a group of scientists at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research isolated enzymes (酶) found in waxworm saliva (唾液). These are plastic-eating enzymes, which can decompose polyethylene, a very common plastic that normally degrades over many years. It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution. And worms are even inspiring the building industry. Bloodworms are small sea creatures that dig into the mud of the ocean floor. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete. So, next time you see a worm, show it a little respect. They really are changing the world! 32. Why does the author raise a question at the beginning? A. To discuss the limited use of worms. B. To compare worms with other animals. C. To emphasize the complexity of worms. D. To challenge the prejudice against worms. 33. Why do farmers love earthworms? A. They deserve praise. B. They facilitate farming. C. They decompose plastic. D. They prevent pollution. 34. How do bloodworms influence the building industry? A. They provide a new building material. B. They are used in construction equipment. C. Their jaws offer ideas for building design. D. Their jaws are made from copper material. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The biological evolution of worms. B. The various scientific uses of worms. C. The environmental impacts of worms. D. The underestimated importance of worms. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍蠕虫在土壤改良、塑料分解和建筑材料设计等方面的作用，揭示了它们被低估的重要性，并呼吁人们重新认识这些“默默无闻的英雄”。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (鱼饵) on the end of a fishing rod. However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye.(蠕虫是我们未曾意识到的英雄吗？它们安静、黏滑且扭动，你可能会认为蠕虫除了作为鱼竿上的鱼饵外毫无用处。然而，这种不起眼的蠕虫远比表面看起来更有价值)”可知，文章开头通过提问引发读者思考，随后指出人们对蠕虫的普遍偏见，并进一步揭示蠕虫的重要作用，旨在挑战这种偏见。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Earthworms move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they expose the soil to the fresh air by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it, which increases the ground’s ability to hold and drain water. They are effectively a small but very efficient farming tool.(蚯蚓移动土壤，这就是农民喜欢蚯蚓的原因。当它们移动时，它们通过松动、混合和充氧使土壤暴露在新鲜空气中，这增加了土壤蓄水和排水的能力。它们实际上是一种小而高效的农具)”可知，农民喜欢蚯蚓是因为它能松土、增加土壤的蓄水和排水能力，对农业有帮助，故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete.(加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的科学家一直在研究它们的下颚，这些下颚由10%的铜蛋白组成，非常坚固，能够支撑蠕虫整个五年的生命周期。基于这项研究，工程师们可能会以下颚为灵感，设计和制造类似混凝土的材料)”可知，血蠕虫的下颚为建筑行业提供了设计灵感。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye.(然而，这种不起眼的蠕虫远比表面看起来更有价值)”和最后一段中“They really are changing the world!(它们真的在改变世界！)”可知，文章通过介绍蠕虫在土壤改良、塑料分解和建筑材料设计等方面的作用，强调了它们被低估的重要性。故选D。 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。 The Secret to Taking Great Notes Taking good notes is a key part of the learning process. However, merely writing down what you hear word-for-word is ineffective. Here are some proven strategies to transform your note-taking. One of the most popular and structured systems is the Cornell Method, developed for and widely taught at Cornell University. ____36____ This physical layout guides your thinking process. During class, take notes in the main section. After class, use the cue column to write keywords or questions. Finally, write a brief summary of the entire lesson at the bottom of the page. This multi-step process is scientifically proven to significantly improve long-term memory retention. For those who think in images and connections, Mind Mapping is a visual way to organize information. Start with the main topic in the center and draw branches out for key subtopics. ____37____ You can use colors, symbols, and arrows to make connections.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was excited. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, my pressure increased gradually. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With only three days left, my pressure increased gradually. I brainstormed, then invited Jake and Lily home. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I organized layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. Laughter replaced frustration as the clock ticked. On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which a connected three generations of graduates. Faces held surprise. Mr. Dow tapped our shining names: “This isn’t just for the anniversary—it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon, seeing our brochure displayed, we knew combined talents created what none could alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以学校百年校庆制作小册子的项目为线索展开，讲述了作者和同学Jake、Lily一起制作小册子的经历，展现了团队合作中从最初的困难、冲突到最终成功的过程。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“只剩下三天时间了，我的压力逐渐增大。”可知，第一段可描写作者想办法让Jake和Lily感兴趣，然后一起设计小册子的过程，其中包含三人分别做什么的内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“在最后一天，我们在课堂上展示了我们的小册子。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朋友所设计的小册子大获成功， 作者也体会到团队合作的价值。 2. 续写线索： 只剩三天，压力增大——作者邀请Jake和Lily来家中——两个伙伴开始感兴趣并动手——作者负责设计——展示了小册子——同学们都大为惊叹——获得了成功并意识到团体合作的重要性 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest/recommend ②忙于：be engaged in/be occupied with ③告诉：tell/inform ④代替：replace/take the place of 情绪类 ①渴望的：eager /thirsty ②惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,”I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled.（运用了现在分词作状语和whose引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】That afternoon, seeing our brochure displayed, we knew combined talents created what none could alone.（运用了现在分词作状语和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。下面是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.

I am excited to have the opportunity to present my science fair project to you today. Thank you for taking the time to listen for this. Yeah, science fair. I created a new project. My project focused on solar power and how IT can be used in daily life, because I am very interested in finding ways to use clean and environmentally friendly power. To study that, I built a small solar powered car and tested its performance compared to a regular battery powered car. Then I tested both cars in different weather conditions to see how well they worked. After several tests, I found that the solar car was able to run for longer periods when I was Sunny, but the battery powered car was more reliable on cloudy days. Through this project, I learned a lot about the importance of clean energy and got inspired to continue expLoring clean energy solutions in the future. Good morning, vulnerable judges and teachers.

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry — Neil deGrasse Tyson For those fascinated by the universe but short on time, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry is the perfect introduction to the wonders of the universe. In this engaging book, Neil deGrasse Tyson simplifies complex ideas — from the Big Bang to dark matter, from the origins of time and space to black holes — into bite-sized, accessible explanations. Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body — Neil Shubin In Your Inner Fish, paleontologist Neil Shubin explores how human body developed over time, tracing traits like arms and organs back to ancient fish through fossils. His engaging storytelling bridges past and present, making complex science relatable and awe-inspiring — a must-read for those curious about life’s origins. The Genius of Birds — Jennifer Ackerman From pigeons that outperform humans in visual memory tests to crows capable of complex reasoning, Jennifer Ackerman challenges the phrase “bird-brained” with a fascinating exploration of birds’ intelligence. Based on the latest cutting-edge research and fascinating field studies, Ackerman reveals how birds demonstrate incredible problem-solving skills, memory, creativity and even the ability to use tools. This popular science book will open your eyes to the surprising cognitive abilities of birds. 21. What does Astrophysics for People in a Hurry focus on? A. Ideal generation. B. Universe wonders. C. Space adventures. D. Strategy interpretation. 22. What does Neil Shubin mainly do in the book Your Inner Fish? A. He invents fascinating stories. B. He discovers unique fossils. C. He explores the origin of fish. D. He studies human body evolution. 23. What does Jennifer Ackerman reveal about birds in her book? A. They have cognitive abilities. B. They have a visual memory. C. They’re in need of training. D. They’re lacking in intelligence. B Any good recipe needs an ingredient list, a cooking method, and if it’s particularly successful, there will be a personal touch describing how the recipe was developed through repeated tests until it was just right. It is a balance of these elements in recipes that ensures good cookbooks are the most important part of any kitchen. Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in. Written by journalist Ros Atkins, it is a recipe book for storytelling, made to be roughly looked through. The “ingredient list” is information required to communicate effectively. The methodology is given according to the different settings. In this book, Atkins presents a seven-step method for giving a great explanation, from getting the main information to giving information in an easy-to-understand way. Reviewing a book of this nature is a test of how well I have understood the information in this guide. The most important parts of the method include: gathering information effectively; communicating it clearly; and achieving the delivery. But, for me, it is not this method that makes this book interesting but the “personal touch” stories, which draw on Atkins’ life, that give this book its edge. I was most drawn to the practical examples in The Art of Explanation, because it offered a chance to know more about Atkins’ career, from starting out as a graduate to taking a new approach to explanation on a BBC’s program, Outside Source. As Atkins puts it himself, “Tell a good story, so people will pay attention to your every word.” Stories, and how they are told, are at the heart of journalism. It is no surprise that the stories told in the book are particularly attractive, such as how Atkins began his journalism career as a junior reporter in South Africa. These stories make The Art of Explanation worth reading, moving it from a textbook to something that works like a well-written cookbook. 24. Why does the author mention recipes in the first paragraph? A. To explain what a good recipe should be like. B. To compare them to effective communication. C. To encourage readers to make dishes themselves. D. To stress the importance of the personal touch in a book. 25. What makes The Art of Explanation interesting? A. The ingredient list. B. The seven-step method. C. The personal stories of Atkins. D. The way to deliver the message. 26. What does the author think of the book? A. It should be read word for word. B. It is written in an easy-to-understand way. C. The method introduced in the book is boring. D. The way that it tells stories is quite worth learning. 27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Health. C. Entertainment. D. Science. C When chain store Jewel opened at Singapore’s Changi Airport six years ago, it changed the idea of what an airport could be. Instead of being just a stop on the way to somewhere else, it became a destination itself. For this reason, many airports began to think how to be local. Many new airports try to reflect their surroundings. Their architecture may take inspiration from local mountains, rivers, or coastlines. Yantai Penglai International Airport in China, for example, uses soft curves (曲线) and natural materials to “echo the landscape” around it. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) expanded this idea to its Terminal 1. “Even if you’re not going into the city, you get a snapshot of what San Francisco and the Bay Area are all about,” says spokesperson Doug Yakel. From local food to Bay Area artwork and quiet rest areas, the terminal offers a preview of the city’s lifestyle. Some airports go a step further by attracting people who are not flying at all. Portland International Airport (PDX) did this as early as the 1980s with a shopping hall. Its newest terminal, opened in 2024, was designed to feel like “a path through the forest,” with wide views of Portland’s natural scenery. Parking data already shows a rise in visitors who come simply to look, eat, or shop. Others hope to follow. Denver International Airport is trying to copy Changi’s success. Yet its remote location — 20 miles from downtown — remains a major barrier. For now, few locals see it as a place to visit for leisure. Whether it can be truly turned into a local destination remains an open question. 28. What inspires the design of Penglai International Airport? A. The city images. B. The food culture. C. The natural scenes. D. The public artwork. 29. What does the underlined word “snapshot” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preview. B. Map. C. Sample. D. Postcard. 30. How does PDX attract people who are not flying? A. By providing more free parking. B. By introducing more new brands. C. By offering a forest-like experience. D. By expanding the original terminal. 31. What can be inferred about Denver International Airport? A. Its construction will be started in no time. B. Its design is lacking in local cultural elements. C. The local people look forward to its rebuilding. D. The distant location may reduce its appeal to locals. D Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (鱼饵) on the end of a fishing rod. However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye. The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions. So, what makes worms so great? Earthworms move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they expose the soil to the fresh air by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it, which increases the ground’s ability to hold and drain water. They are effectively a small but very efficient farming tool. But it’s not just earthworms that deserve praise. In 2022, a group of scientists at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research isolated enzymes (酶) found in waxworm saliva (唾液). These are plastic-eating enzymes, which can decompose polyethylene, a very common plastic that normally degrades over many years. It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution. And worms are even inspiring the building industry. Bloodworms are small sea creatures that dig into the mud of the ocean floor. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete. So, next time you see a worm, show it a little respect. They really are changing the world! 32. Why does the author raise a question at the beginning? A. To discuss the limited use of worms. B. To compare worms with other animals. C. To emphasize the complexity of worms. D. To challenge the prejudice against worms. 33. Why do farmers love earthworms? A. They deserve praise. B. They facilitate farming. C. They decompose plastic. D. They prevent pollution. 34. How do bloodworms influence the building industry? A. They provide a new building material. B. They are used in construction equipment. C. Their jaws offer ideas for building design. D. Their jaws are made from copper material. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The biological evolution of worms. B. The various scientific uses of worms. C. The environmental impacts of worms. D. The underestimated importance of worms. 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。 The Secret to Taking Great Notes Taking good notes is a key part of the learning process. However, merely writing down what you hear word-for-word is ineffective. Here are some proven strategies to transform your note-taking. One of the most popular and structured systems is the Cornell Method, developed for and widely taught at Cornell University. ____36____ This physical layout guides your thinking process. During class, take notes in the main section. After class, use the cue column to write keywords or questions. Finally, write a brief summary of the entire lesson at the bottom of the page. This multi-step process is scientifically proven to significantly improve long-term memory retention. For those who think in images and connections, Mind Mapping is a visual way to organize information. Start with the main topic in the center and draw branches out for key subtopics. ____37____ You can use colors, symbols, and arrows to make connections. This method is especially beneficial for visual learners as it shows the relationships between concepts, making complex topics easier to grasp. Regardless of the method you choose, the core principle is active engagement. Don’t just passively record information. ____38____ Engage with the material by paraphrasing the speaker’s points. This forces you to process and understand the information on the spot. Of course, the best method is the one that works for you. ____39____ You might use the Cornell Method for history lectures, which are dense with facts, but a Mind Map for brainstorming an essay topic. You might even combine different elements from various methods to create your own personalized system. ____40____ Review your notes periodically within 24 hours of taking them. This short, spaced repetition is one of the most powerful ways to move information from your short-term to your long-term memory, solidifying your learning and making exam preparation much less stressful. A. Then, add smaller branches for specific details. B. Therefore, it is popular among university students. C. Ultimately, it’s crucial to review your notes afterward. D. Experiment with different techniques to find your favorite. E. This means you can paraphrase the content in your own words. F. Instead, focus on summarizing the main idea in simple elegant words. G. It divides your paper into a cue column, a notes section, and a summary area. 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。 Sweat slips down my cheek as I attempt a shoulder extension and look around.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was excited. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, my pressure increased gradually. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
