Rocky Mountaineer This luxury railcar journey is one of the most popular in the United States. It operates throughout the American Southwest. Its most famous route is the Rockies to Red rocks journey, which starts in Denver and ends in Moab, Utah. But there are four other jaw-dropping routes that will take you through the US’s most rugged landscapes, from its towering Rockies to its lowest, most colorful canyons (峡谷). Durango & Silverton Narrow gauge Railway Silver and gold were being mined and exported from the Durango and Silverton areas by this short-and-sweet railroad when it was in operation, which makes it a National Historic Landmark. The experience takes you onto the railways of yore deep into the San Juan Mountains, offering jaw-dropping views during any season. Just know that it’s a steam engine, making it louder than other trains. Grand Canyon Railway If you want an unbeatable entrance into the Grand Canyon, go on the Grand Canyon Railway. It’s been in operation since 1901 and has had over a century to nail its service. You can choose from six different options when you buy your ticket based on comfort and service levels. If views are your focus, go with the Observation Dome. Cape Cod Central Railway This fun train journey takes you across the Cape Cod region, specializing in lunch, brunch, and dinner journeys. All excursion trains come with various classes, letting you choose the tickets that suit your budget. The same for public and private tables, which makes this a surprisingly affordable add-on to any Cape Cod trip. 21. Which route of Rocky Mountaineer is the most famous? A. From Rockies to Grand Canyon. B. From Denver to Moab, Utah. C. From Denver to San Juan Mountains. D. From Moab, Utah to Cape Cod. 22 Why is Durango & Silverton Narrow gauge Railway a National Historic Landmark? A. It owns loud steam trains. B. It has a history of over a century. C. It operates in the San Juan Mountains. D. It once transported silver and gold mines. 23. What should you choose for the best views on Grand Canyon Railway? A. The private service. B. The cheapest option. C. The Observation Dome. D. The lunch journey ticket. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了美国四条风景优美的火车旅行路线。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rocky Mountaineer部分中“Its most famous route is the Rockies to Red rocks journey, which starts in Denver and ends in Moab, Utah.(其最著名的路线是“落基山脉至红岩”的之旅，该路线始于丹佛，终点在犹他州的莫阿布)”可知，Rocky Mountaineer最著名的路线是从丹佛出发，终点为犹他州的摩押。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad部分中“Silver and gold were being mined and exported from the Durango and Silverton areas by this short-and-sweet railroad when it was in operation, which makes it a National Historic Landmark.(在运营期间，这条短而便捷的铁路从杜兰戈和西尔弗顿地区开采并运出了银矿和金矿，因此它被列为国家历史遗迹)”可知，该铁路曾用于运输银矿和金矿，这一历史背景使其成为国家历史地标。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Grand Canyon Railway部分中“If views are your focus, go with the Observation Dome.(如果您更注重观赏效果，那就选择“观景穹顶”吧)”可知，若想在该铁路上欣赏最佳风景，应选择Observation Dome。故选C。 B In a small town located between rolling hills, there lived a girl named Lily, passionate about painting. From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day. One rainy afternoon, while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator (馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope. That night, Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap. As people wandered by, some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person. Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive. 24. What prevented Lily from sharing her artwork at first? A. Passion for painting in secret. B. Anxiety about others’ opinions. C. Disinterest in others’ judgment. D. Fear of failure in public display. 25. How did the comment of the curator influence Lily? A. It discouraged her from showing her artwork. B. It made her doubt her ability to create perfect art. C. It inspired her to accept flaws and share her artwork. D. It convinced her that only perfect pieces deserve to be shown. 26. After Lily displayed her artwork, she felt more ________. A. appreciative B. hesitant C. annoyed D. secure 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Don’t cry over spilled milk. C. Stay true to who you are. D. The pen is mightier than the sword. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了莉莉是一位热爱绘画的女孩，因为害怕被评判而将作品藏起来。后来，通过分享作品背后的故事，她开始接受自己的不完美，并将诚实视为力量。最终，她已经成为社区里的一位成功的艺术家。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day.(然而，她对评判的恐惧使她的艺术隐藏起来；她秘密地画着，每一幅画都是等待天光的美丽宝藏。)”可推知，起初是担心别人的看法阻止了莉莉分享她的作品。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As she wandered, she overheard the curator (馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are— flaws and all— is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope.(漫步时，她无意中听到馆长在谈论艺术中诚实的力量。“艺术不在于完美；这是一种联系，”他强调，揭示我们是谁——缺点和所有——是至关重要的。他的话在她心中引起了共鸣，燃起了希望。)”可知，馆长的评论激励莉莉接受缺点并分享她的作品。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment.( 莉莉开始接受自己的不完美，把诚实视为力量。每一次谈话都增加了她的信心，她不再害怕别人的评价了。)”可推知，在莉莉展示了她的作品后，她感到心里踏实和放心了。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中““Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive.( 艺术不在于完美；这是关于联系的，”她告诉他们，呼应了馆长的话。通过她的旅程，她提醒每个人，我们的故事，无论多么不完美，都值得与世界分享，因为它们让我们成为人类，让我们真正活着。)”可推知，我们能从文章中学到做真实的自己这个道理。故选C项。 C In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 28. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable B. growth should be limited to protect the resources C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 29. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hard to tell. B. Tricky to tackle. C. Tough to achieve. D. Difficult to understand. 30. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. people tend to use resources more reasonably with improved equality B wealth and power should be distributed to the advantage of rich people C. the requirement for growth is easily adaptable to changing economic conditions D. a balance between social and ecological well-being can be reached within endless growth 31. Which of the following best describes the organization of this article? A. Identifying a pressing problem, offering various solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness. B. Explaining a natural process, relating it to human activities, and suggesting a change in view. C. Presenting a traditional view, discussing its appeal and limitations, and proposing a new approach. D. Introducing a well-known theory, comparing it with another theory, and suggesting improvements. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要批判以无限经济增长定义进步的传统观念，指出其不可持续性，并提出以全民福祉和生态平衡为核心的新发展理念。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As the biomimicry pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. (正如仿生学先驱简宁·贝尼乌斯提醒我们的那样，一棵树只会生长到它仍能将养分输送到树枝最顶端的叶子的程度，之后就会停止生长。它对生长的追求，受制于一个更宏大的目标，即分配和循环那些滋养并维持其整体健康的资源。)”可知，作者引用简宁·贝尼乌斯的观点，是为了说明无限制的增长并非具有可持续性。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. (这种增长需求已经深深植根于经济理论、政治叙事和公众期望之中，以至于近几十年来，当增长变得elusive时，我们看到了种种孤注一掷且往往具有破坏性的举措，旨在重新推动增长。)”可知，人们会采取极端措施重启增长，由此推测“elusive”的含义是“难以实现的”，与“tough to achieve”意思相近。故选C项。 30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. (这不仅能提升生活满意度，还有充分证据表明，更大程度的公平与更为适度的消费之间存在关联，因此这也有助于我们缩小国家的生态足迹。)”可知，社会公平度的提升会促使人们消费更适度，进而更合理地利用资源。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，第一段先提出20世纪以GDP增长定义进步的传统观念；第二、三段论述该观念的由来及自然界中增长存在边界的局限性；第四、五段指出无限增长需求对经济和社会的负面影响；第六至八段提出以全民福祉和生态平衡为目标的新发展理念及相关政策。因此文章的结构是“提出传统观点—探讨其吸引力与局限性—提出新方案”。故选C项。 D In the current educational landscape, cooperative learning has emerged as a popular teaching method. Instead of studying alone, students are grouped together to complete tasks, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. While many educators believe it offers numerous benefits, there are also challenges that come with this approach. Dr. Laura Harris, a renowned education researcher, states, “Cooperative learning is not just about group work; it’s a dynamic process that can significantly enhance students’ social skills, critical thinking, and overall academic performance. It creates an environment where students actively engage with each other, which is essential for their growth.” However, she also acknowledges that proper guidance and organization are crucial for its success. One of the key advantages of cooperative learning lies in its ability to foster social interaction. When students work in groups, they learn to communicate effectively, listen to different perspectives, and resolve conflicts. For example, in a literature discussion group, students may have varying interpretations of a novel. Through dialogue, they can expand their understanding, learn to respect others’ viewpoints, and improve their own analytical skills. Cognitive psychologists explain that cooperative learning also promotes deeper learning. According to the Social Constructivism Theory, knowledge is constructed through social interaction. When students collaborate, they build on each other’s ideas, challenge assumptions, and construct new knowledge together. This process encourages active thinking, rather than passive absorption of information. Despite these benefits, cooperative learning is not without its problems. Some students may become free riders, relying on their group members to do most of the work. Others might struggle to express their opinions in a group setting, especially if the group dynamics are not well-managed. Additionally, teachers need to carefully design group tasks and monitor the progress to ensure that every student is actively involved. To address these challenges, educators can adopt several strategies. For instance, clearly defining individual responsibilities within the group can prevent free-riding behavior. Encouraging equal participation through rotating leadership roles and creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere can help shy students feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts. In conclusion, cooperative learning has the potential to transform the learning experience. By understanding its benefits and challenges and implementing appropriate strategies, educators can harness its power to create a more engaging and effective learning environment. After all, learning is not a solitary journey, but a collaborative adventure. 32. What is Dr. Laura Harris’s attitude towards cooperative learning? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Neutral. 33. How does cooperative learning promote deeper learning according to the text? A. By reducing the time students spend on passive learning. B. By increasing the amount of information students receive. C. By encouraging students to absorb different viewpoints passively. D. By enabling students to construct knowledge through social interaction. 34. Why are problems in cooperative learning mentioned in the text? A. To compare it with other teaching methods. B. To show it is more difficult to implement than expected. C. To stress the importance of addressing these issues for its success. D. To prove that cooperative learning is not suitable for all students. 35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should be left to manage group tasks on their own. B. Teachers play a minor role in the success of cooperative learning. C. With proper handling, cooperative learning can greatly benefit students. D. Cooperative learning should replace traditional individual learning completely. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了合作学习的教学方法，阐述了其优势、面临的问题，并提出了解决问题的策略。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr. Laura Harris, a renowned education researcher, states, “Cooperative learning is not just about group work; it’s a dynamic process that can significantly enhance students’ social skills, critical thinking, and overall academic performance.”(著名教育研究者Laura Harris博士说：“合作学习不仅仅是小组工作；这是一个动态的过程，可以显著提高学生的社交技能、批判性思维和整体学习成绩。”)”可推知， Laura Harris对合作学习的态度是支持的，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Cognitive psychologists explain that cooperative learning also promotes deeper learning. According to the Social Constructivism Theory, knowledge is constructed through social interaction. When students collaborate, they build on each other’s ideas, challenge assumptions, and construct new knowledge together.(认知心理学家解释说，合作学习也促进了更深层次的学习。根据社会建构主义理论，知识是通过社会互动而构建出来的。当学生进行合作时，他们会相互借鉴观点、质疑假设，并共同构建新的知识)”可知，合作学习通过让学生在社交互动中构建知识，从而促进深度学习，故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Despite these benefits, cooperative learning is not without its problems.(尽管有这些好处，合作学习也不是没有问题)”及倒数第二段“To address these challenges, educators can adopt several strategies. For instance, clearly defining individual responsibilities within the group can prevent free-riding behavior. Encouraging equal participation through rotating leadership roles and creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere can help shy students feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts.(为应对这些挑战，教育工作者可以采取多种策略。例如，明确界定小组内每个人的职责可以防止“搭便车”行为。通过轮换领导角色以及营造安全和包容的氛围来鼓励平等参与，可以帮助害羞的学生更自在地表达自己的想法)”可知，解决了这些问题，合作学习才能是高效的。由此推知，提及这些问题是为了强调解决这些问题对合作学习成功的重要性，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By understanding its benefits and challenges, and implementing appropriate strategies, educators can harness its power to create a more engaging and effective learning environment.(通过了解其优势和挑战，并采取适当的策略，教育工作者能够充分利用其力量，营造出更具吸引力和更高效的学习环境)”可推知，作者暗示如果处理得当，合作学习能让学生受益匪浅，故选C。 第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts.

Invest in quality sunglasses To shield your eyes, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99 to 100 per cent of UVA and UVB light. ____37____ . “In fact, if the lenses are dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes, because when you’re looking through dark lenses your pupils dilate, which lets more UV light inside to do damage,” says Dr Esen Akpek, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Wear safety glasses when needed You don’t have to be doing construction work or factory work to need protective eyewear. ____38____ . It’s estimated that up to 90 per cent of sports-related eye injuries are actually preventable with proper eye protection. “I see people who’ve been gardening, leaned forward and got poked in the eye by a branch,” says Dr Davinder Grover, an ophthalmologist at Glaucoma Associates of Texas.

See an eye specialist regularly Routine checkup helps maintain good eye health, so please don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup regularly, if possible. ____40____ . A. Safety comes first for various outdoor activities B. Surprisingly, dark lenses aren’t necessarily the most protective C. Indoor heating and air conditioning can dry out the air — and the eyes D. Gardening, home repairs and sports all pose the risk of trauma to the eye E. Not all eye problems are noticeable, and all are best treated when found early F. By incorporating these lifestyle steps, your eyes will stay healthy throughout the year G. We have asked experts what lifestyle steps people should take to protect their vision and eye health 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何全年保护眼睛给出了几个具体的建议和注意事项。 【36题详解】 根据空前内容“We use sunscreen to protect our skin. But what can we do to protect our eyes, all year round? A lot. (我们用防晒霜来保护我们的皮肤。但是我们能做些什么来全年保护我们的眼睛呢？很多。)”可知，上文提出我们可以采取许多措施来保护我们的眼睛。选项G“We have asked experts what lifestyle steps people should take to protect their vision and eye health (我们向专家咨询了人们应该采取哪些生活方式来保护他们的视力和眼睛健康)”延续上文内容，同时引出下文我们可以采取的具体的措施。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据空前内容“To shield your eyes, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99 to 100 per cent of UVA and UVB light. (为了保护你的眼睛，戴上经过认证的太阳镜，可以阻挡99%到100%的UVA和UVB光。)”可知，上文讲述的是我们可以戴上经过认证的太阳镜来保护我们的眼睛。选项B“Surprisingly, dark lenses aren’t necessarily the most protective (令人惊讶的是，深色镜片并不一定是最具保护作用的)”承接上文内容，指出我们可以佩戴太阳镜保护眼睛，同时指出深色镜片未必是最具有保护作用的。这与下文““In fact, if the lenses are dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes, because when you’re looking through dark lenses your pupils dilate, which lets more UV light inside to do damage,” says Dr Esen Akpek, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. (约翰霍普金斯大学教授埃森·阿克佩克博士说：“事实上，如果隐形眼镜是深色的，但没有防紫外线，这对你的眼睛更不利，因为当你通过深色隐形眼镜看东西时，瞳孔会放大，这会让更多的紫外线进入眼睛，造成伤害。”)”内容上保持一致。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据空前内容“You don’t have to be doing construction work or factory work to need protective eyewear. (你不必在建筑工作或工厂工作时才需要防护眼镜。)”可推测出，不是建筑工作或工厂工作才会对眼睛造成损伤。选项D“Gardening, home repairs and sports all pose the risk of trauma to the eye (园艺、房屋维修和运动都有造成眼睛损伤的风险)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是园艺、房屋维修和运动都可能对眼睛造成损伤。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据空后内容“Outdoor cold and wind can be drying, too, while pollution and allergens can cause irritation. (室外的寒冷和风也会使眼睛干燥，而污染和过敏原也会引起刺激。)”中的“too”可知，空处内容和眼睛干燥相关。选项C“Indoor heating and air conditioning can dry out the air—and the eyes (室内暖气和空调会使空气变干，也会使眼睛变干)”指的是室内暖气和空调会使使眼睛变干，与下文内容一致，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文内容“Routine checkup helps maintain good eye health, so please don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup regularly, if possible. (例行检查有助于保持良好的眼睛健康，所以如果可能的话，请不要忘记定期去看眼科专家检查。)”可知，本段主要建议我们定期检查眼睛。选项E“Not all eye problems are noticeable, and all are best treated when found early (并非所有的眼部问题都是显而易见的，而且及早发现最好治疗)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是要定期检查眼睛，因为并非所有的眼部问题都是显而易见的，而且及早发现最好治疗。故选E。 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。 Mounting evidence from medical studies has indicated that people who think positively have a lower risk of dying of all causes compared with others their own age who have a more pessimistic view of life.

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: ‌“Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor (裁缝), made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (用勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring, ‌“I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually, the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, ‌“Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. ‌“I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist (心理医生) but knew she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly. Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150 左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. First, she worked with AI to create customized recipes for Grandma, accounting for her age-related digestive issues and past preferences to make nutritious, easy-to-swallow dishes. Meanwhile, following AI’s suggestion to make Grandma feel valued, the family started to shower her with more attention — sitting with her at meals, chatting warmly, expressing appreciation and encouraging her to eat. As days passed, Grandma began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her. Gradually, the once-stubborn resistance to food faded away. As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. “It’s time to make her feel needed,” Mira thought, appealing to Grandma’s pride as the village’s best tailor and asking her to make a special outfit for a school event. Grandma’s eyes lit up immediately, a spark of the old force she once had returning. Mira and Grandma spent hours crafting together — Grandma patiently guiding her through measuring, cutting, and sewing, sharing stories of her tailor days. This interaction restored Grandma’s self-worth, strengthened their bond, and gave her a new lease on life. Her appetite improved with renewed energy from skill recognition, leaving Mira amazed at AI’s role as an outstanding virtual psychologist. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mira的奶奶拒绝吃饭，Mira求助AI后得知奶奶觉得自己在家庭中没有了位置，于是Mira开始实施计划。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在人工智能的帮助下，米拉开始了她的计划。”可知，第一段可描写米拉根据AI的建议为奶奶制定食谱，家人也给予奶奶更多关注，奶奶逐渐改变了态度。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着吃饭不再是一场斗争，米拉决定重新点燃祖母眼中的光芒。”可知，第二段可描写米拉利用奶奶的裁缝技能，让奶奶为学校活动制作特殊服装，奶奶的自我价值感得到恢复，与米拉的关系也更加亲密。 2. 续写线索：米拉制定食谱——家人给予关注——奶奶改变态度——米拉让奶奶制作服装——奶奶自我价值感恢复——关系更加亲密 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①表达：express/show/convey ②恢复：restore/recover/renew ③加强：strengthen/reinforce/enhance 情绪类 ①耐心地：patiently/with patience ②惊讶的：amazed/openmouthed 【点睛】[高分句型1] As days passed, Grandma began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her.

Rocky Mountaineer This luxury railcar journey is one of the most popular in the United States. It operates throughout the American Southwest. Its most famous route is the Rockies to Red rocks journey, which starts in Denver and ends in Moab, Utah. But there are four other jaw-dropping routes that will take you through the US’s most rugged landscapes, from its towering Rockies to its lowest, most colorful canyons (峡谷). Durango & Silverton Narrow gauge Railway Silver and gold were being mined and exported from the Durango and Silverton areas by this short-and-sweet railroad when it was in operation, which makes it a National Historic Landmark. The experience takes you onto the railways of yore deep into the San Juan Mountains, offering jaw-dropping views during any season. Just know that it’s a steam engine, making it louder than other trains. Grand Canyon Railway If you want an unbeatable entrance into the Grand Canyon, go on the Grand Canyon Railway. It’s been in operation since 1901 and has had over a century to nail its service. You can choose from six different options when you buy your ticket based on comfort and service levels. If views are your focus, go with the Observation Dome. Cape Cod Central Railway This fun train journey takes you across the Cape Cod region, specializing in lunch, brunch, and dinner journeys. All excursion trains come with various classes, letting you choose the tickets that suit your budget. The same for public and private tables, which makes this a surprisingly affordable add-on to any Cape Cod trip. 21. Which route of Rocky Mountaineer is the most famous? A. From Rockies to Grand Canyon. B. From Denver to Moab, Utah. C. From Denver to San Juan Mountains. D. From Moab, Utah to Cape Cod. 22. Why is Durango & Silverton Narrow gauge Railway a National Historic Landmark? A. It owns loud steam trains. B. It has a history of over a century. C. It operates in the San Juan Mountains. D. It once transported silver and gold mines. 23. What should you choose for the best views on Grand Canyon Railway? A. The private service. B. The cheapest option. C. The Observation Dome. D. The lunch journey ticket. B In a small town located between rolling hills, there lived a girl named Lily, passionate about painting. From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day. One rainy afternoon, while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator (馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope. That night, Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap. As people wandered by, some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person. Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive. 24. What prevented Lily from sharing her artwork at first? A. Passion for painting in secret. B. Anxiety about others’ opinions. C. Disinterest in others’ judgment. D. Fear of failure in public display. 25. How did the comment of the curator influence Lily? A. It discouraged her from showing her artwork. B. It made her doubt her ability to create perfect art. C. It inspired her to accept flaws and share her artwork. D. It convinced her that only perfect pieces deserve to be shown. 26. After Lily displayed her artwork, she felt more ________. A. appreciative B. hesitant C. annoyed D. secure 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Don’t cry over spilled milk. C. Stay true to who you are. D. The pen is mightier than the sword. C In the 20th century, the definition of progress seemed clear. It was growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). And that growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. No matter how rich a nation already was, its politicians and economists would consistently claim that the solutions to its problems — from poverty to pollution — depended on yet more growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. First, it’s useful to recognize that growth, after all, is a wonderful, healthy phase of life, which is why people the world over love to see children, gardens and trees grow. No wonder the western mind so readily accepted it as the shape of economic progress, too, and simultaneously adopted the very 20th-century mantra that “more is better”, both personally and nationally. Yet if we look to nature, it’s clear that nothing succeeds by growing forever: anything that seeks to do so will, in the process, destroy itself or the system on which it depends. Things that succeed grow until they are grown up, at which point they mature, enabling them to thrive, sometimes for hundreds of years. As the biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus reminds us, a tree keeps growing only up to the point that it is still capable of sending nutrients to the leaves at the outermost tips of its branches, at which point it stops. Its pursuit of growth is bounded by a greater goal of distributing and circulating the resources that nurture and sustain the health of its whole being. Although we can easily appreciate the limits of growth in the living world, when it comes to our economies, we have a harder time. Thanks to the availability of cheap fossil fuel-based energy in the 20th century, rapid economic growth came to be seen as normal and natural, indeed as essential. Its continuation over many decades led to the creation of institutional designs and policies that are dependent on growth without end. In other words, we have inherited economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories, political narratives and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to reboot growth when it becomes elusive. Instead of excessively pursuing growth, it is time to pursue well-being for all people as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a very different conception of progress: in the place of endless growth we seek a dynamic balance, one that aims to meet the essential needs of every person while protecting the life-supporting systems of our planetary home. Tackling inequality needs to be at the heart of a new eco-social contract. Not only does this bring benefits in terms of improving life satisfaction; it helps us reduce the size of our national ecological footprints, via the well-documented links between greater fairness and more moderate consumption. It can also help to block the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few, therefore avoiding a system that advantages the already wealthy. When we turn away from growth as the goal, we can focus directly on asking what it would take to deliver social and ecological well-being, through an economy that is regenerative and distributive by design. There are many possibilities — such as driving a low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation, with a green jobs guarantee, alongside personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. Policies like these were, only a decade ago, considered too radical to be realistic. Today they look nothing less than essential. 28. The author cites Janine Benyus to illustrate that . A. unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable B. growth should be limited to protect the resources C. the view that “more is better” also applies to nature D. nature provides a perfect model for economic growth 29. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A Hard to tell. B. Tricky to tackle. C. Tough to achieve. D. Difficult to understand. 30. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. people tend to use resources more reasonably with improved equality B. wealth and power should be distributed to the advantage of rich people C. the requirement for growth is easily adaptable to changing economic conditions D. a balance between social and ecological well-being can be reached within endless growth 31. Which of the following best describes the organization of this article? A. Identifying a pressing problem, offering various solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness. B. Explaining a natural process, relating it to human activities, and suggesting a change in view. C. Presenting a traditional view, discussing its appeal and limitations, and proposing a new approach. D. Introducing a well-known theory, comparing it with another theory, and suggesting improvements. D In the current educational landscape, cooperative learning has emerged as a popular teaching method. Instead of studying alone, students are grouped together to complete tasks, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. While many educators believe it offers numerous benefits, there are also challenges that come with this approach. Dr. Laura Harris, a renowned education researcher, states, “Cooperative learning is not just about group work; it’s a dynamic process that can significantly enhance students’ social skills, critical thinking, and overall academic performance. It creates an environment where students actively engage with each other, which is essential for their growth.” However, she also acknowledges that proper guidance and organization are crucial for its success. One of the key advantages of cooperative learning lies in its ability to foster social interaction. When students work in groups, they learn to communicate effectively, listen to different perspectives, and resolve conflicts. For example, in a literature discussion group, students may have varying interpretations of a novel. Through dialogue, they can expand their understanding, learn to respect others’ viewpoints, and improve their own analytical skills. Cognitive psychologists explain that cooperative learning also promotes deeper learning. According to the Social Constructivism Theory, knowledge is constructed through social interaction. When students collaborate, they build on each other’s ideas, challenge assumptions, and construct new knowledge together. This process encourages active thinking, rather than passive absorption of information. Despite these benefits, cooperative learning is not without its problems. Some students may become free riders, relying on their group members to do most of the work. Others might struggle to express their opinions in a group setting, especially if the group dynamics are not well-managed. Additionally, teachers need to carefully design group tasks and monitor the progress to ensure that every student is actively involved. To address these challenges, educators can adopt several strategies. For instance, clearly defining individual responsibilities within the group can prevent free-riding behavior. Encouraging equal participation through rotating leadership roles and creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere can help shy students feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts. In conclusion, cooperative learning has the potential to transform the learning experience. By understanding its benefits and challenges and implementing appropriate strategies, educators can harness its power to create a more engaging and effective learning environment. After all, learning is not a solitary journey, but a collaborative adventure. 32. What is Dr. Laura Harris’s attitude towards cooperative learning? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Neutral. 33. How does cooperative learning promote deeper learning according to the text? A. By reducing the time students spend on passive learning. B. By increasing the amount of information students receive. C. By encouraging students to absorb different viewpoints passively. D. By enabling students to construct knowledge through social interaction. 34. Why are problems in cooperative learning mentioned in the text? A. To compare it with other teaching methods. B To show it is more difficult to implement than expected. C. To stress the importance of addressing these issues for its success. D. To prove that cooperative learning is not suitable for all students. 35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should be left to manage group tasks on their own. B. Teachers play a minor role in the success of cooperative learning. C. With proper handling, cooperative learning can greatly benefit students. D. Cooperative learning should replace traditional individual learning completely. 第二节(共12.5小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5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。 We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts.

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: ‌“Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor (裁缝), made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (用勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring, ‌“I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually, the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, ‌“Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. ‌“I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist (心理医生) but knew she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly. Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150 左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As meals became less of a battle Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
