C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章通过四个展览展示了诗歌与不同领域的结合，每个展览都有其独特的主题和艺术表现形式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Monica Ong: Planetaria部分中“Planetaria is an exhibition of visual poems by Monica Ong that use the visual language of astronomy to explore the territories of motherhood.(天文馆是莫妮卡·王的视觉诗歌展览，使用天文学的视觉语言来探索母性的领域)”可知，如果你对研究宇宙感兴趣，你应该去莫妮卡·王：天文馆。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kara Walker: Back of Hand部分中“Kara Walker: Back of Hand appropriately highlights Walker’s engagement with language.(卡拉·沃克：《手背》恰如其分地突出了沃克对语言的运用)”和Alex Katz: Collaborations with Poets部分中“Experience the first exhibition to bring together the full range of materials that show Alex Katz’s collaborations with poets, impressing visitors with their proper use of poetic language.(体验第一个展览，汇集了亚历克斯·卡茨与诗人合作的所有材料，他们对诗歌语言的恰当使用给参观者留下了深刻的印象)”可知，卡拉·沃克的《手背》和亚历克斯·卡茨的《与诗人合作》的共同之处在于两个展览都突出了诗人对语言的熟练运用。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Harriet Monroe: the Open Door部分中“She advocated openness to contemporary poems, leading to the publication of some of the most influential English-language poems of the modern era.(她提倡对当代诗歌持开放态度，因此出版了一些当代最有影响力的英语诗歌)”可知，哈丽特·门罗对现代诗歌的出版持欢迎态度。故选C项。 B We sat at a riverside restaurant on the Willamette River, enjoying spaghetti and watching Christmas boats pass. “Isn’t this the best evening ever?” I said, grasping my husband’s hand. We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake. I almost danced to get my coat — a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (架子) and put it on. Wait, what? It reached below my ankle, not my knee. And I guessed it to be a size 16, not my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected. But no call came that night, nor the next day. Heartick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. Months later, another freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner. I pulled the coat off its hanger, pursing my lips about my lost coat. “Wow” Penny, an old friend, exclaimed as soon as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hostess. I arched am eyebrow. “You’re kidding. It’s four sizes too big.” I nearly launched into the whole story, but their words stopped me. For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label. I frowned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge. The following week, the temperature dropped sharply. As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car, I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Now I wear it with pleasure. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She valued the family time. B. She led a luxurious lifestyle. C. She performed a dance that day. D. She was dissatisfied at the service. 5. How did she feel when she found the coat mix-up? A. Angry and regretful. B. Calm and grateful. C. Depressed but hopeful. D. Confused but unconcerned. 6. What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A. The advice from her friends. B. The reflection deep in her heart. C. The free service from a woman. D. The dramatic drop of temperature. 7 What does she intend to convey through the story? A. Don’t cry over spilt milk. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在餐厅误拿大衣后作者想办法应对的故事，传递出积极面对意外的生活态度。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic.(我们很少外出就餐，节日船只的景象更增添了一丝魔力。)”以及第二段中的“Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake.(我们边笑边聊，把晚餐延长到了将近两个小时，最后还一起分享了巧克力蛋糕。)”可知，作者和丈夫很少外出就餐，却愿意花时间享受这顿晚餐，珍惜相处时光，由此可推断她重视家庭时光，故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected.(我强忍着泪水，把电话号码留给了女服务员，确信这个误会很快就会解决。) 以及 “HeartSick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting.(我心里很难过，把那件太大的大衣挂在衣柜里，依然在等待。)”可知，作者发现拿错大衣时，强忍泪水（难过沮丧），但又留下电话等待解决（抱有希望），因此她的感受是沮丧但抱有希望，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition?(我需要调整心态吗？如果我对这件意外得到的东西持积极态度，而不是消极态度，会怎么样呢？)”以及最后一段中的“Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge.(我没有抱怨，而是问自己需要做些什么才能喜欢上这件大衣。我请教堂的一位女士免费修改了它。)” 可知，是作者内心的反思（调整心态、积极面对）促使她决定修改大衣，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“HeartSick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. (我心里很难过，把那件太大的大衣挂在衣柜里，依然在等待。)”，倒数第二段中的“Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition?(我需要调整心态吗？如果我对这件意外得到的东西持积极态度，而不是消极态度，会怎么样呢？)”以及最后一段中的““Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge.(我没有抱怨，而是问自己需要做些什么才能喜欢上这件大衣。我请教堂的一位女士免费修改了它。)”并浏览全文可知，作者误拿不合身的大衣后，从最初的失落，到反思后转变心态，将大衣修改后愉快穿着，体现了“把意外的不如意转化为积极结果”的态度。选项D“当生活给你柠檬时，就做柠檬水（意为：积极面对困境，化不利为有利）” 是作者通过这个故事想要向我们传达的信息。故选D。 C Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers, you haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either. Yet something is already being said. You might feel the slight pressure of a look from across the room. You sense comfort in the way another person smiles—not just with their lips, but with their whole face. You know who is confident, who is nervous, who seems open, and who seems closed. All this happens before a single word is spoken. This isn’t magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the silent, invisible force beneath every human interaction, shaping our relationships, influencing our judgments, and connecting us in ways that words never could. Long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. Babies just days old can detect eye contact. They respond to tone, rhythm and facial expressions. They cry to signal need and smile to build bonds (联系). No vocabulary is needed. This is the foundation of what neuroscientists call social cognition—the brain’s ability to understand and respond to others. Our brains are built for connection. We don’t just observe others: we simulate (模仿) their actions inside ourselves. When you see someone smile your brain activates the same regions that fire when you yourself smile. This is the basis of mirror neurons, a system discovered in the 1990s that helps explain how we “feel” what others feel. From babyhood, we start building a theory of mind. This means understanding that others have their own separate thoughts, feelings and intentions. We use this knowledge constantly, mostly without speaking. You don’t need someone to say, “I’m depressed.” You recognize it in how they shut a door firmly or avoid meeting your eyes. This skill to sense others—to read their mental state from their face, posture, gestures, voice tone and even silences—is the essential foundation of human connection. It explains our talent for storytelling, teamwork, and caring. It’s also why misunderstandings can happen so easily. 8. What can we learn about babies according to paragraph 3? A. They learn words quickly. B. They bond through smiles. C. They ignore facial expressions. D. They rarely signal needs. 9 Why does the author mention “mirror neurons”? A. To describe brain diseases. B. To explain sharing others’ feelings. C. To argue against social cognition. D. To prove speech’s importance. 10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How brains process language. B. Why people avoid eye contact. C. The role of the theory of mind. D. The discovery of babies’ abilities. 11. What ability is a key function of the theory of mind? A. Predicting weather changes. B. Creating complex vocabulary. C. Understanding others’ intentions. D. Memorizing scientific terms. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类无声交流的能力，包括通过表情、姿势等感知他人情绪（镜像神经元），以及理解他人意图的“心智理论”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“They cry to signal need and smile to build bonds (联系). No vocabulary is needed.(婴儿们通过哭泣来表达需求，通过微笑来建立联系，不需要词汇)”可知，婴儿通过微笑来建立联系。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“When you see someone smile, your brain activates the same regions that fire when you yourself smile. This is the basis of mirror neurons, a system discovered in the 1990s that helps explain how we “feel” what others feel.(当你看到别人微笑时，你的大脑会激活与你自己微笑时相同的区域。这就是镜像神经元的基础，这个系统是在20世纪90年代被发现的，它有助于解释我们如何“感受”别人的感受)”可知，作者提到“镜像神经元”是为了解释我们如何分享别人的感受。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段中的“From babyhood, we start building a theory of mind. This means understanding that others have their own separate thoughts, feelings and intentions.(从婴儿时期开始，我们就开始建立一种心理理论，即理解别人有自己独立的思想、感情和意图)”以及“We use this knowledge constantly, mostly without speaking. You don’t need someone to say, “I’m depressed.” You recognize it in how they shut a door firmly or avoid meeting your eyes.( 我们经常运用这种认知能力，但往往无需言语表达。你无需有人告诉你说“我很沮丧”。你能够通过他们紧闭房门的动作或者避免与你对视的方式察觉出这种情绪。)”可知，本段描述了我们在日常生活中如何使用我们婴儿时期所建立的“心理理论”，即本段讲述了心理理论的作用。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“From babyhood, we start building a theory of mind. This means understanding that others have their own separate thoughts, feelings and intentions.(从婴儿时期开始，我们就开始建立一种心理理论，即理解别人有自己独立的思想、感情和意图)”可知，理解别人的意图是心理理论的一个关键功能。故选C。 D Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. Viewing mindlessly through attention-grabbing posts and videos prevents “profound (深层的) boredom” that can drive people on to new passions or skills. Instead, people find themselves in a state of “superficial boredom”, which does not motivate creative thought. Dr Timothy Hill, leader of the research team at the University of Bath, said, “The problem we observed was that social media can ease superficial boredom. But that also consumes time and energy, and may prevent people progressing to a state of profound boredom, where they might discover new passions. Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development. Researchers interviewed 15 people during the pandemic (流行病), when boredom was more likely because of restrictions. Many described being trapped in regularly daily walks and watching television, with many turning to social media to pass the time. But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time. The pandemic was a painful and consuming experience for thousands of less fortunate people. But there are stories of those in lockdown who found new hobbies, careers or directions in life. Switching off devices could help people reach the state of boredom which pushes them on to new hobbies or achievements. This research has given us a window to understand how the “always-on”, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things. 12. Why are Walter Benjamin’s words mentioned? A. To call for attention to the research on boredom. B. To comment on strategies to face loneliness. C. To offer suggestions on cultivating creative thinking. D. To clarify problems caused by social media. 13. Which of the following may Dr Timothy Hill agree with? A. Profound boredom is of value. B. Superficial boredom is unavoidable. C. Social media should be restricted. D. Undisturbed thinking is hard to achieve. 14. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Define. B. Relieve. C. Ignore. D. Worsen. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why people enjoy boredom. B. How boredom helps kill time. C. Why boredom might be good for you. D. How social media blocks creative ideas. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现社交媒体虽能缓解表面无聊，却会阻碍能激发创造力与新热情的深层无聊，而深层无聊对个人发展具有积极意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. (德国哲学家瓦尔特·本雅明曾指出，无聊是“梦之飞鸟，孵化经验之蛋”。然而，研究人员认为，社交媒体正在扼杀那些经常因无所事事而产生的创造性幻想)”可知，引用其言论是为了引出关于无聊的研究，引起人们对无聊这一话题及相关研究的关注，而不是评论面对孤独的策略、提供培养创造性思维的建议或阐明社交媒体导致的问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development.(深层无聊听起来可能是个负面概念，但事实上，如果人们有机会进行不受干扰的思考和发展，它可以是极具积极意义的)”可知，蒂莫西・希尔博士认为深层的无聊如果能给人们不受干扰的思考和发展机会，是有很大价值的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time.(但尽管参与者表示，社交媒体能暂时摆脱表面无聊，可它似乎还会exacerbate这种无聊，让他们觉得自己浪费了时间)”可知，前文提到参与者认为社交媒体能暂时摆脱肤浅的无聊，但“but”表示转折，说明社交媒体也会让情况变得更糟，即加剧了无聊，使他们觉得浪费了时间，所以exacerbate的意思是“使恶化，加剧”，与worsen意思相近。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. Viewing mindlessly through attention-grabbing posts and videos prevents “profound (深层的) boredom” that can drive people on to new passions or skills.(德国哲学家瓦尔特·本雅明曾指出，无聊是“梦之飞鸟，孵化经验之蛋”。然而，研究人员认为，社交媒体正在扼杀那些经常因无所事事而产生的创造性幻想。无意识地浏览吸引眼球的帖子和视频可以防止“深层的无聊”，这会驱使人们追求新的激情或技能)”和最后一段“This research has given us a window to understand how the “always-on”, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things.(这项研究为我们提供了一个窗口，让我们了解“永远在线”、24/7的文化和设备是如何承诺提供丰富的信息和娱乐的，它们可能会解决我们表面上的无聊，但实际上却阻止我们找到更有意义的东西)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要论述了社交媒体阻止了人们进入深层无聊状态，而深层无聊能激发创造力，从而说明了社交媒体是如何阻碍创造性想法产生的，“社交媒体是如何阻碍创意的”符合主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 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 use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. ____16____ The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. ____17____ This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong? In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. ____18____ Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%. ____19____ Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.” ____20____ A. But is that always the case? B. Patience is needed as the system matures. C. They said the system was not fit for purpose. D. Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen? E The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally. F. So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation? G. Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕科技在体育领域的应用展开，主要介绍了科技的弊端，讨论科技出错时的责任归属问题。 【16题详解】 上文“The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. (体育领域对科技的运用本应能提供精准且即时的反馈，相比人工干预，决策更优、失误更少。)”提出科技在体育中应更优的观点，而下文介绍了温网AI司线系统故障、以及足球VAR技术的弊端。因此A项“但是情况总是如此吗？”符合语境，引出下文。故选A。 【17题详解】 上文“Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. (然而，在 2025 年锦标赛开赛仅一周后，电子司线系统就出现了故障。)”提及系统故障，由此推测，空出需补充故障的具体原因。E项”球追踪技术被一个人意外关闭了。”承接上文。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. (然而，上个足球赛季，VAR的疏忽激怒了很多教练、球员和球迷。)”指出上个赛季VAR失误引发不满，由此可知，这个系统没有达到预期目的。空处需补充人们对VAR系统的负面评价，以完整呈现VAR的争议性。C项“他们表示该系统不符合使用需求。”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. (剑桥大学的Gina Neff教授表示，人类天生就拥有强烈的公平感。“机器做出决策，依据的是为其编程设定的那套规则，” 她说道。)”陈述了人们不相信科技的原因。由此推测，空处可能提出“人们为什么不相信科技”这个疑问。F项“既然科技往往能改善现状，那我们为什么仍然不信任它呢？”符合推测，引出下文内容。故选F。 【20题详解】 空处位于文末，应是总结性语句。上文“Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine. (目前，在AI触及我们生活的诸多领域，我们认为人类比机器更能理解背景语境。)”提及人类对科技的认知优势，需在结尾给出对科技在体育领域未来的客观判断。G项“无论你是否信任，科技都将持续存在，体育领域也不例外。”符合语境，客观指出科技在体育领域的必然性。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 My small town has been spending Memorial Day with a ceremony since the 1800s.

These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, Harry jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Look, Harry,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree. Harry could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was safe enough for a nest, but the rubber tree’s thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart. I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened. 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。 Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look! The birds are back!” Harry announced with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 （181） Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. I searched through the garage, gathering materials like twigs, small pieces of cloth, and some soft hay. Harry joined me, his eyes shining with excitement. Together, we carefully crafted a sturdy nest, making sure it was secure and comfortable. As we worked, I couldn’t help but think about how these little birds had brought so much hope and joy into our lives. Once the nest was done, I used a long pole to place it high in the rubber tree, praying that the doves would accept our offering. “Look! The birds are back!” Harry announced with excitement. I rushed to the window and saw the doves sitting in the new nest. They cooed softly, as if expressing their gratitude. Harry jumped up and down, clapping his hands. “They like it, Mama! They like it!” he exclaimed. I smiled and hugged him, feeling a warm sense of satisfaction. I realized that even in the face of difficulties, a little act of kindness could make a big difference. These doves had not only found a safe home but also taught Harry and me the beauty of giving and the rewards of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在手术后身体不适、心情低落时，与四岁的儿子哈利一起观察到一对鸽子在院子里的橡胶树上筑巢。尽管鸟巢两次被大风摧毁，但鸽子们坚持不懈。作者被鸽子的毅力打动，与哈利一起为它们制作了一个坚固的新巢。鸽子接受了新巢，这让哈利非常兴奋，作者也从中感受到了善意的力量，认识到即使面对困难，小小的善举也能带来很大的改变，同时鸽子也教会了作者和哈利给予的美好以及坚持的意义。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我被它们的毅力所感动，决定为它们建一个新巢。”可知，第一段可描写作者和儿子一起为鸽子重建新巢的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容““看！鸟儿回来了！”哈利兴奋地宣布。”可知，第二段可描写鸽子飞进新巢后儿子很兴奋以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：决定建一个新巢——重建新巢的过程——期待鸽子回巢——鸽子飞进新巢——儿子很是兴奋——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①搜寻：searched /looked for ②.大叫道：exclaimed/ shouted ③.拥抱：hugged/ embraced 情绪类 ①.快乐：joy/ delight ②.感激之情：gratitude/ appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B We sat at a riverside restaurant on the Willamette River, enjoying spaghetti and watching Christmas boats pass. “Isn’t this the best evening ever?” I said, grasping my husband’s hand. We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake. I almost danced to get my coat — a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (架子) and put it on. Wait, what? It reached below my ankle, not my knee. And I guessed it to be a size 16, not my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected. But no call came that night, nor the next day. Heartick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. Months later, another freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner. I pulled the coat off its hanger, pursing my lips about my lost coat. “Wow” Penny, an old friend, exclaimed as soon as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hostess. I arched am eyebrow. “You’re kidding. It’s four sizes too big.” I nearly launched into the whole story, but their words stopped me. For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label. I frowned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge. The following week, the temperature dropped sharply. As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car, I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Now I wear it with pleasure. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She valued the family time. B. She led a luxurious lifestyle. C. She performed a dance that day. D. She was dissatisfied at the service. 5. How did she feel when she found the coat mix-up? A. Angry and regretful. B. Calm and grateful. C. Depressed but hopeful. D. Confused but unconcerned. 6. What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A. The advice from her friends. B. The reflection deep in her heart. C. The free service from a woman. D. The dramatic drop of temperature. 7. What does she intend to convey through the story? A. Don’t cry over spilt milk. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. C Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers, you haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either. Yet something is already being said. You might feel the slight pressure of a look from across the room. You sense comfort in the way another person smiles—not just with their lips, but with their whole face. You know who is confident, who is nervous, who seems open, and who seems closed. All this happens before a single word is spoken. This isn’t magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the silent, invisible force beneath every human interaction, shaping our relationships, influencing our judgments, and connecting us in ways that words never could. Long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. Babies just days old can detect eye contact. They respond to tone, rhythm and facial expressions. They cry to signal need and smile to build bonds (联系). No vocabulary is needed. This is the foundation of what neuroscientists call social cognition—the brain’s ability to understand and respond to others. Our brains are built for connection. We don’t just observe others: we simulate (模仿) their actions inside ourselves. When you see someone smile your brain activates the same regions that fire when you yourself smile. This is the basis of mirror neurons, a system discovered in the 1990s that helps explain how we “feel” what others feel. From babyhood, we start building a theory of mind. This means understanding that others have their own separate thoughts, feelings and intentions. We use this knowledge constantly, mostly without speaking. You don’t need someone to say, “I’m depressed.” You recognize it in how they shut a door firmly or avoid meeting your eyes. This skill to sense others—to read their mental state from their face, posture, gestures, voice tone and even silences—is the essential foundation of human connection. It explains our talent for storytelling, teamwork, and caring. It’s also why misunderstandings can happen so easily. 8. What can we learn about babies according to paragraph 3? A. They learn words quickly. B. They bond through smiles. C. They ignore facial expressions. D. They rarely signal needs. 9. Why does the author mention “mirror neurons”? A. To describe brain diseases. B. To explain sharing others’ feelings. C. To argue against social cognition. D. To prove speech’s importance. 10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How brains process language. B. Why people avoid eye contact. C. The role of the theory of mind. D. The discovery of babies’ abilities. 11. What ability is a key function of the theory of mind? A. Predicting weather changes. B.

D Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. Viewing mindlessly through attention-grabbing posts and videos prevents “profound (深层的) boredom” that can drive people on to new passions or skills. Instead, people find themselves in a state of “superficial boredom”, which does not motivate creative thought. Dr Timothy Hill, leader of the research team at the University of Bath, said, “The problem we observed was that social media can ease superficial boredom. But that also consumes time and energy, and may prevent people progressing to a state of profound boredom, where they might discover new passions. Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development. Researchers interviewed 15 people during the pandemic (流行病), when boredom was more likely because of restrictions. Many described being trapped in regularly daily walks and watching television, with many turning to social media to pass the time. But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time. The pandemic was a painful and consuming experience for thousands of less fortunate people. But there are stories of those in lockdown who found new hobbies, careers or directions in life. Switching off devices could help people reach the state of boredom which pushes them on to new hobbies or achievements. This research has given us a window to understand how the “always-on”, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things. 12. Why are Walter Benjamin’s words mentioned? A To call for attention to the research on boredom. B. To comment on strategies to face loneliness. C. To offer suggestions on cultivating creative thinking. D. To clarify problems caused by social media. 13. Which of the following may Dr Timothy Hill agree with? A. Profound boredom is of value. B. Superficial boredom is unavoidable. C. Social media should be restricted. D. Undisturbed thinking is hard to achieve. 14. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Define. B. Relieve. C. Ignore. D. Worsen. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why people enjoy boredom. B. How boredom helps kill time. C. Why boredom might be good for you. D. How social media blocks creative ideas. 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 use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. ____16____ The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. ____17____ This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong? In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. ____18____ Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%. ____19____ Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.” ____20____ A. But is that always the case? B. Patience is needed as the system matures. C. They said the system was not fit for purpose. D. Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen? E. The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally. F. So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation? G. Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 My small town has been spending Memorial Day with a ceremony since the 1800s.

These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, Harry jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Look, Harry,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree. Harry could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was safe enough for a nest, but the rubber tree’s thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart. I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened. 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。 Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look! The birds are back!” Harry announced with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
