One of the worst mistakes you can make as a public speaker is talking too long. It doesn’t matter if your entire speech was good and the audience came away with information that will change their lives. If you talk too long, they will leave, saying that speaker just wouldn’t quit. Don’t let this happen to you. Say what you have to say and sit down. Before you do, give them a well-thought-out closing. The last thing you say is generally what the audience remembers most. Just like your opening, your closing doesn’t have to be humorous, it could be challenging, thoughtful or it could retell your point in a different way. Please, at some time during your talk, ask the audience to do something. Many a great talk went no further than the walls of the meeting room. Because the audience wasn’t moved to action. If you haven’t asked them to do something by now, the closing is your last chance. 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 Are you passionate about learning Chinese and exploring its rich culture?

(以项目为基础的任务，如制作中文文化杂志)”可知，夏令营提供中文文化杂志创作活动。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cost Details部分“The cost for the Non-Native Chinese Camp is 600, and with additional 400 fee for Chinese Camp. (非母语中文夏令营的费用是600美元，中文夏令营 (中级到高级水平)额外收取400美元费用)”以及“By the way, a 10% early bird discount is offered. (顺便说一下，有10%的早鸟折扣)”可知，非母语营早鸟价为600美元，墨西哥孩子属于非母语群体，因此费用为600×0.9 = 540美元。故选A项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Application Requirements部分“Complete an online Chinese proficiency (水平) test independently (for placement test) (独立完成在线中文水平测试 (用于分班测试))”可知，需要独立完成测试，找专家帮忙会导致申请不成功。故选C项。 B The moment was completely unexpected. It came in 2013, when Jane Goodall was helping return a chimpanzee (黑猩猩) called Wounda to the wild. They had not met before, but Wounda jumped into her arms, hugging and kissing her. Ms Goodall never forgot the warmth of that embrace. It might have been a thank-you from all chimpanzees. She spent her working life with them, mainly in the Gombe Reserve (保护区) along Lake Tanganyika, and joys came thick and fast. Her most significant and surprising sighting, though, came when she noticed her favorite, David Greybeard, sitting by a termite (白蚁) hill. He used a grass stick to fish out termites for food, even pulling off leaves to improve the tool. Before this, people had believed only humans could make and use tools — many thought this ability was what made humans unique. Goodall’s findings shook the world of science. Goodall had no formal scientific training. As a child, she dreamed of living in Africa and observing animals. There, she named chimps like Goliath and Flo instead of numbers, the common practice, but annoyed some scientists. She believed each had its own personality, and her detailed notes made her a leading expert. Later in life, Goodall was heartbroken to find chimp numbers dropping sharply due to bush-meat trade and habitat loss. From then on, she gave up her fieldwork in favour of speaking out. She often started her speeches with a greeting in chimp calls. But under the fun lay deep shame at what her generation, not excepting herself, had done to nature. In 1991, She founded “Roots &Shoots” to encourage youth to protect the environment. She traveled the world, spreading hope and calling on everyone to care for nature. Though Dr. Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025, her spirit still lives on in the lives she protected and in the next generation who believe that kindness can change the world. 24. What did David Greybeard do that surprised Goodall? A. He hugged Goodall warmly. B. He sat near the termite hill alone. C. He used tools to get food. D. He allowed Goodall to watch him. 25. What can be inferred about some scientists in Paragraph 3? A. They found names hard to remember. B. They agreed naming chimps was creative. C. They preferred using numbers for research. D. They thought chimp names lacked personalities. 26. Why did Goodall stop doing direct research on chimps? A. Because she was too old to go to the reserve. B. Because she wanted to teach people about chimps. C. Because she enjoyed making public speeches. D. Because she desired to call for nature protection. 27. Which of the following words best describes Goodall? A. Patient and pioneering. B. Honest and humorous. C. Strict and selfless. D. Creative and cooperative. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了简·古道尔与黑猩猩的渊源、发现，以及她为保护黑猩猩和自然所做的努力。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He used a grass stick to fish out termites for food, even pulling off leaves to improve the tool. Before this, people had believed only humans could make and use tools — many thought this ability was what made humans unique. Goodall’s findings shook the world of science. (他用一根草茎钓白蚁当食物，甚至还摘下叶子来改进工具。在此之前，人们一直认为只有人类才能制造和使用工具——许多人认为这种能力是人类独特之处。古道尔的发现震惊了科学界)”可知，David Greybeard使用工具获取食物这一行为让古道尔感到惊讶。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There, she named chimps like Goliath and Flo instead of numbers, the common practice, but annoyed some scientists. (在那里，她给黑猩猩取名如Goliath和Flo，而不是用数字(这是常见的做法)，但惹恼了一些科学家)”可推断，一些科学家更喜欢用数字进行研究。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Later in life, Goodall was heartbroken to find chimp numbers dropping sharply due to bush-meat trade and habitat loss. From then on, she gave up her fieldwork in favour of speaking out. (晚年，古道尔痛心地发现，由于丛林肉贸易和栖息地丧失，黑猩猩的数量急剧下降。从那时起，她放弃了实地研究，转而公开呼吁)”可知，古道尔停止直接研究黑猩猩是因为她渴望呼吁保护自然。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Before this, people had believed only humans could make and use tools — many thought this ability was what made humans unique. Goodall’s findings shook the world of science. (在此之前，人们一直认为只有人类才能制造和使用工具——许多人认为这种能力是人类独特之处。古道尔的发现震惊了科学界)”以及后文她为保护黑猩猩和自然所做的努力可知，古道尔具有开拓精神；同时，她多年坚持研究黑猩猩，很有耐心。所以用“Patient and pioneering (耐心且有开拓精神的)”来形容她最合适。故选A项。 C More than 20 species (物种) of bird around the world use a similar “whining” alarm call to warn that birds like cuckoos, or brood parasites (寄生动物) that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, are around. The call seems to be understood across species, and its use suggest how language may have originated. Will Feeney at the Donana Biological Station in Spain and his colleagues have now found that 21 bird species, including superb fairy-wrens in Australasia, all use similar “whining” sounds when they see a brood parasite. The researchers found that the species that produce this alarm call often live in areas where there are lots of brood parasites that make use of many different host species, and when the hosts hear the whining call, they attempt to scare them away with aggressive (攻击性的) physical mobbing. “It’s quite possible that the mobbing call aims to draw in other birds to participate in the mobbing,” says Rose Thorogood at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To investigate further, Feeney and his colleagues played recordings of the calls made by brood-parasite hosts from other continents to host birds in Australia and China. They discovered that hearing the foreign warning calls brought out just as fast a mobbing response as hearing the calls produced by their own species. Feeney says this suggests there is an inborn part to the alarm calls that many bird species respond to, but birds in areas where brood parasites are common have changed the call and response to pass on knowledge of the local risk. In 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language may have begun when humans and animals started copying and changing the sounds they made. “The birds adapting these inborn calls to another purpose could be the first stepping stone towards language,” says Feeney. “So, animal communication and human language are closely related, rather than ‘language’ being a uniquely human feature.” 28. What is true about the “whining” call? A. It’s similar to human language. B. It’s used against host species. C. It’s used for nest building. D. It warns against brood parasites. 29. What can be inferred from the mobbing behavior? A. It helps recreate brood parasite sounds. B. It gathers birds to drive away threats. C. It warns other host species to stay away. D. It allows communication with parasites. 30. What does the foreign call experiment show? A. Birds only respond to local calls. B. The mobbing response is learned quickly. C. The response is inborn but locally adapted. D. All such calls cause a similar reaction. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A shared alarm call in birds. B. The threat of brood parasites. C. The development of language. D. Support for Darwin’s theory. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界多种鸟类用相似的“哀鸣”警报声警示巢寄生动物，以及该发现对语言起源研究的启示。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“More than 20 species (物种) of bird around the world use a similar “whining” alarm call to warn that birds like cuckoos, or brood parasites (寄生动物) that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, are around. (世界上有超过20种鸟类使用相似的“哀鸣”警报声，来警示像杜鹃这样在其他鸟类巢中产卵的巢寄生动物就在附近)”可知，“哀鸣”声是用来警示巢寄生动物的。故选D项。 29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“when the hosts hear the whining call, they attempt to scare them away with aggressive (攻击性的) physical mobbing. “It’s quite possible that the mobbing call aims to draw in other birds to participate in the mobbing,” says Rose Thorogood at the University of Helsinki in Finland. (当宿主听到哀鸣声时，它们会试图用攻击性的群体围攻来吓跑它们。芬兰赫尔辛基大学的罗斯·索罗古德说：“群体围攻的叫声很可能是为了吸引其他鸟类参与围攻”)”可推断，群体围攻行为是为了聚集鸟类来驱赶威胁。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Feeney says this suggests there is an inborn part to the alarm calls that many bird species respond to, but birds in areas where brood parasites are common have changed the call and response to pass on knowledge of the local risk. (费尼说，这表明许多鸟类对警报声的反应有一部分是天生的，但在巢寄生动物常见的地区的鸟类已经改变了叫声和反应，以传递当地风险的知识)”可知，外国叫声实验表明这种反应是天生的，但会根据当地情况进行调整。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The birds adapting these inborn calls to another purpose could be the first stepping stone towards language (鸟类将这些天生的叫声适应于其他目的可能是语言发展的第一步)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕鸟类共享的警报声展开，并探讨了其对语言起源研究的启示，所以A项“鸟类共享的警报声”最能概括文章主旨。故选A项。 D New research shows an important finding to add to the known benefits of regular exercise: middle-aged women with good physical fitness are nearly 90% less likely to develop dementia (失智症) in old age. Also, for those who are affected, the disease appears about ten years later than in women who are less sporty. Lead researcher Dr Helena Hörder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: “These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people’s cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were tired out to measure their peak (最大值的) cardiovascular ability. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts. In total, 40 women reached the standard for a high fitness level, meaning they could manage 120 watts or more. Another 92 women were in the medium fitness group. Finally, 59 women were in the low fitness group. They could only manage 80 watts or less, or had to stop the test early because of health problems. These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following forty years. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness. “However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an connection,” said Hörder. “More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also said that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were from Sweden, so the results may not apply to other groups. 32. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Advantages of sporty women over men. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. C. Experimental studies on dementia. D. Positive effects of doing exercise. 33. Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise? A. To predict their maximum heart rate. B. To find their hidden health problems. C. To measure their cardiovascular fitness. D. To change their habit of working out. 34. What do we know about Dr Hörder’s study? A. Many participants quit the study. B. The results were disappointing. C. Gathering data was a long effort. D. It tried to find a dementia treatment 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia B. More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia C. Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise D. Biking Improves Women’s Cardiovascular Fitness 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中年女性良好的体能状况与老年患失智症风险降低有关，研究还探讨了相关情况及局限。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“New research shows an important finding to add to the known benefits of regular exercise: middle-aged women with good physical fitness are nearly 90% less likely to develop dementia (失智症) in old age. (新研究显示了一项重要发现，为定期锻炼已知的好处增添了新内容：中年时期体能良好的女性老年时患失智症的可能性降低近90%)”可知，第一段提到的不断增长的清单是指锻炼的积极影响。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were tired out to measure their peak (最大值的) cardiovascular ability. (在这项研究中，191名平均年龄为50岁的女性进行了自行车运动测试，直到她们筋疲力尽，以测量她们的心血管峰值能力)”可知，研究人员让女性做自行车运动是为了测量她们的心血管健康状况。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following forty years. (在接下来的四十年里，这些女性接受了六次失智症测试)”可推知，霍德博士的研究收集数据是一个漫长的过程。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research shows an important finding to add to the known benefits of regular exercise: middle-aged women with good physical fitness are nearly 90% less likely to develop dementia (失智症) in old age. (新研究显示了一项重要发现，为定期锻炼已知的好处增添了新内容：中年时期体能良好的女性老年时患失智症的可能性降低近90%)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了体能良好的中年女性患失智症的可能性更低，A项“体能良好的女性患失智症的可能性更低”最符合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A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。 What makes a happy life? According to a study by researchers at Harvard University for 85 years, it is not money or career success, exercise or a good diet that gives someone lasting happiness. ____36____. This makes sense. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said, “Man is by nature a social animal.” We have a hunger for it. Living without it is to starve ourselves of what is good right for us. ____37____ . We rely on the Internet to fulfill much of what we did ourselves in the past. The challenging economic situation also means we are more unwilling to spend. The harsh reality is that the desire to socialize is sharply decreasing, for young and older people alike. The Society of UK Theatre has concluded that 40 per cent of theaters in the UK could close in the next five years. More than 180 libraries have either closed or been handed over to volunteer groups since 2016. Theaters and libraries, unlike shops and pubs, are free. ____38____· Nothing is more enlivening than the recognition you get from a close friend or a group of like-minded people, where you can talk confidently and freely and listen with complete attention to what they have to say. ____39____ . This gives a powerful kind of joy. Of course, going to a coffee house or a museum doesn’t make sure of that kind of deep connection. ____40____. But many of our closest relationships are shaped by being in such spaces, either in creating new friendships or deepening the ones we already have. Lose them, and we lose what enables many of us to find the key to true happiness: social connection. A. You are fully seen and heard. B. The key to happiness is social fitness. C. It just shows how serious the problem is. D. And neither does going to any kind of shop. E. Nothing makes people happier than friendship. F. There are countless strengths of staying connected. G. Yet nowadays we don’t go out as much as we used to. 【答案】36. B 37. G 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幸福的关键是社交，但如今人们社交减少，失去社交将难以找到幸福。 【36题详解】 上文“According to a study by researchers at Harvard University for 85 years, it is not money or career success, exercise or a good diet that gives someone lasting happiness. (哈佛大学研究人员历时85年的一项研究表明，给人带来持久幸福的不是金钱、事业成功、锻炼或良好的饮食)”指出不是金钱等带来持久幸福，下文“This makes sense. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said, “Man is by nature a social animal.” We have a hunger for it. Living without it is to starve ourselves of what is good right for us. (这是有道理的。2000多年前，亚里士多德说过：“人天生是社会性动物。”我们渴望它。没有它生活，就是剥夺我们应得的美好)”说明人天生是社会性动物，渴望社交，B选项“幸福的关键是良好的社交健康”承接上文，指出带来持久幸福的是社交能力，同时引出下文对社交重要性的阐述，符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 下文“We rely on the Internet to fulfill much of what we did ourselves in the past. The challenging economic situation also means we are more unwilling to spend. The harsh reality is that the desire to socialize is sharply decreasing, for young and older people alike. (我们依靠互联网来完成过去很多我们自己做的事情。严峻的经济形势也意味着我们更不愿意花钱。残酷的现实是，年轻人和老年人的社交欲望都在急剧下降)”指出现在人们社交欲望下降，G选项“然而现在，我们不像以前那样经常出去了”概括说明现在人们社交减少的现状，引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【38题详解】 上文“Theaters and libraries, unlike shops and pubs, are free. (剧院和图书馆，不像商店和酒吧，是免费的)”说明剧院和图书馆免费，下文没有直接承接此句，C选项“这只是表明问题有多严重”起到过渡作用，指出剧院和图书馆免费却面临关闭等现状，说明问题的严重性，符合语境。故选C。 【39题详解】 上文“Nothing is more enlivening than the recognition you get from a close friend or a group of like-minded people, where you can talk confidently and freely and listen with complete attention to what they have to say. (没有什么比从亲密朋友或一群志同道合的人那里得到的认可更能让人振奋的了，在那里你可以自信而自由地交谈，并全神贯注地倾听他们要说的话)”描述了和亲密朋友或志同道合的人交流的情景，A选项“你被完全看见和听见”进一步说明在这种交流中自己的感受，与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选A。 【40题详解】 上文“Of course, going to a coffee house or a museum doesn’t make sure of that kind of deep connection. (当然，去咖啡馆或博物馆并不能确保那种深度的联系)”指出去咖啡馆或博物馆不能确保深度联系，D选项“去任何一种商店也不能”进一步说明其他地方也不能确保深度联系，与上文呼应，同时引出下文“But many of our closest relationships are shaped by being in such spaces, either in creating new friendships or deepening the ones we already have. (但我们许多最亲密的关系都是在这样的空间中形成的，无论是建立新的友谊还是加深我们已有的友谊)”，符合语境。故选D。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Getting a signature from just one of sports’ “GOATs” is a challenge.

A key reason for this continuity is the Chinese writing system. Originally, ____57____ (write) Chinese was picture-based, dating back thousands of years to carved symbols on animal bones and shells. Some ancient symbols remain recognizable in today’s Chinese characters, or hanzi. By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols ____58____ (become) a well-developed writing system. Over time, the system developed into ____59____ (variety) forms due to geographical divisions, ____60____ (result) in numerous dialects and character variations (变体). This changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE), who unified China’s seven major states. The writing system was standardized, playing an important role in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, regardless of ____61____ Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can communicate through writing. Moreover, the writing system serves as ____62____ important bridge connecting China’s present with ____63____ (it) past. Modern people can read classical ____64____ (work) from ancient times. The high regard for Chinese writing system can be seen in their development into an art form — calligraphy — which has become an important part of Chinese culture.

This “I’ll do it later” attitude filled my life with unnecessary stress. The small step I took was to start using the “two-minute rule”. I told myself: if something takes less than two minutes to do, do it now. By completing those small tasks right away, I not only cleared my to-do list faster but also built a sense of achievement. More importantly, that unnecessary feeling of stress disappeared. I learned that even the smallest step forward can start a journey to positive change. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇短文，描述自己曾经的一个不良习惯、说明自己为改变该习惯所迈出的“一小步”、并分享这一改变给自己的生活带来的积极影响，向校英文报“Teenage Life”专栏投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 使用：use → employ 完成：complete → accomplish 重要的：importantly→significantly 消失：disappear → vanish 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：By completing those small tasks right away, I not only cleared my to-do list faster but also built a sense of achievement. 拓展句：I completed those small tasks right away, by which I not only cleared my to-do list faster but also built a sense of achievement. 【点睛】【高分句型1】The small step I took was to start using the “two-minute rule”.(运用了省略that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】I told myself: if something takes less than two minutes to do, do it now.(运用了if引导的条件状语从句) 第二节 （满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest. My neighbor Ollie and I would race to the announcement board to find out the theme. One year, the theme was “Dress up as your favorite book character”. Another year, it was “Be something scary”. But this year, the theme was kind of, well, themeless. “Be creative?” I said, reading the announcement board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie agreed. “Let’s just find some materials first,” I suggested, feeling confused. “I've got it!” Ollie said, grabbing a bunch of fallen leaves. He explained, “They’re free! No one will dress up as a tree like we do!” I loved the idea. Soon we had filled two bags with all sorts of leaves. Ollie pointed to some bunches of shiny leaves. “These look special,” he said, handing me a handful. I didn’t notice the oily shine on them as I put them in my bag. Little did we know what trouble they would bring. Afterwards, we worked for hours. “I’m so tired of gluing leaves,” I complained. “Beleaf me,” said Ollie. “You’re not the only one.” I laughed. “I’ll be so releafed to be done!” “There’s no leafing now,” he added lightly. “But it’ll be worth it. These will be the most tree-mendous costumes of all!” It took us hours to get ready the next morning, and we probably lost half our leaves walking slowly to the park. Around us, we saw witches in pointy hats and superheroes in capes, but many people turned to look at our leaf costumes with surprise and admiration. “I’ve never seen anything like that!” said a witch. “Yeah, they really stand out,” her ghost friend agreed. “The way the leaves move and fall makes them look exactly like real trees!” Hearing this, we were extremely happy. 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。 As we stood there, enjoying all the nice comments about our costumes, a terrible itch (痒) suddenly started everywhere. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the host announced the winner list. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As we stood there, enjoying all the nice comments about our costumes, a terrible itch suddenly started everywhere. At first it was just a little uncomfortable, but soon it became a strong burning feeling all over my skin. My happy smile disappeared, replaced by a painful expression. I really wanted to scratch my arms and legs. I looked at Ollie and saw he was fighting the same problem. His face looked worried, and he was shaking his hands trying to resist the itch. We stood perfectly still, afraid that any movement would make people notice our trouble. Our beautiful tree costumes now felt like they were punishing us. Just then, the host announced the winner list. When we heard our names, we were so excited that we almost forgot the itching. “We did it!” Ollie shouted happily. We jumped up with joy, making more leaves fall from our costumes. The crowd’s loud cheers made us feel incredibly proud. As we walked to the stage to receive our prize, the itching didn’t seem important anymore. Later that evening, when we learned that those special leaves had caused the rash, we just laughed. Our trophy shining on the table reminded us that even with small accidents, creative ideas can lead to the most wonderful successes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和邻居奥利为万圣节服装比赛准备创意树叶服装，虽过程中遇到树叶引发瘙痒的小插曲，但最终凭借独特的创意赢得比赛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我们站在那里，享受着人们对我们服装的好评时，突然到处都开始发痒。”可知，第一段可描写作者和奥利穿上树叶服装后突然浑身发痒，但仍努力保持镇定，不想让别人发现他们的窘境。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，主持人宣布了获奖名单。”可知，第二段可描写作者和奥利听到自己获奖后非常激动，忘记了瘙痒，上台领奖后得知是特殊树叶导致过敏，但仍觉得创意带来成功很值得。 2. 续写线索：浑身发痒——努力保持镇定——听到获奖——激动上台领奖——得知过敏原因——觉得值得 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①消失：disappear/vanish ②上台：walk to the stage/step onto the stage ③导致：cause/bring about 情绪类： ①担心的：worried/anxious/concerned ②高兴地：happily/with delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】When we heard our names, we were so excited that we almost forgot the itching.

It came in 2013, when Jane Goodall was helping return a chimpanzee (黑猩猩) called Wounda to the wild. They had not met before, but Wounda jumped into her arms, hugging and kissing her. Ms Goodall never forgot the warmth of that embrace. It might have been a thank-you from all chimpanzees. She spent her working life with them, mainly in the Gombe Reserve (保护区) along Lake Tanganyika, and joys came thick and fast. Her most significant and surprising sighting, though, came when she noticed her favorite, David Greybeard, sitting by a termite (白蚁) hill. He used a grass stick to fish out termites for food, even pulling off leaves to improve the tool. Before this, people had believed only humans could make and use tools — many thought this ability was what made humans unique. Goodall’s findings shook the world of science. Goodall had no formal scientific training. As a child, she dreamed of living in Africa and observing animals. There, she named chimps like Goliath and Flo instead of numbers, the common practice, but annoyed some scientists. She believed each had its own personality, and her detailed notes made her a leading expert. Later in life, Goodall was heartbroken to find chimp numbers dropping sharply due to bush-meat trade and habitat loss. From then on, she gave up her fieldwork in favour of speaking out. She often started her speeches with a greeting in chimp calls. But under the fun lay deep shame at what her generation, not excepting herself, had done to nature. In 1991 She founded “Roots &Shoots” to encourage youth to protect the environment. She traveled the world, spreading hope and calling on everyone to care for nature. Though Dr. Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025, her spirit still lives on in the lives she protected and in the next generation who believe that kindness can change the world. 24. What did David Greybeard do that surprised Goodall? A. He hugged Goodall warmly. B. He sat near the termite hill alone. C. He used tools to get food. D. He allowed Goodall to watch him. 25. What can be inferred about some scientists in Paragraph 3? A. They found names hard to remember. B. They agreed naming chimps was creative. C. They preferred using numbers for research. D. They thought chimp names lacked personalities. 26. Why did Goodall stop doing direct research on chimps? A. Because she was too old to go to the reserve. B Because she wanted to teach people about chimps. C. Because she enjoyed making public speeches. D. Because she desired to call for nature protection. 27. Which of the following words best describes Goodall? A. Patient and pioneering. B. Honest and humorous. C. Strict and selfless. D. Creative and cooperative. C More than 20 species (物种) of bird around the world use a similar “whining” alarm call to warn that birds like cuckoos, or brood parasites (寄生动物) that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, are around. The call seems to be understood across species, and its use suggest how language may have originated. Will Feeney at the Donana Biological Station in Spain and his colleagues have now found that 21 bird species, including superb fairy-wrens in Australasia, all use similar “whining” sounds when they see a brood parasite. The researchers found that the species that produce this alarm call often live in areas where there are lots of brood parasites that make use of many different host species, and when the hosts hear the whining call, they attempt to scare them away with aggressive (攻击性的) physical mobbing. “It’s quite possible that the mobbing call aims to draw in other birds to participate in the mobbing,” says Rose Thorogood at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To investigate further, Feeney and his colleagues played recordings of the calls made by brood-parasite hosts from other continents to host birds in Australia and China. They discovered that hearing the foreign warning calls brought out just as fast a mobbing response as hearing the calls produced by their own species. Feeney says this suggests there is an inborn part to the alarm calls that many bird species respond to, but birds in areas where brood parasites are common have changed the call and response to pass on knowledge of the local risk. In 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language may have begun when humans and animals started copying and changing the sounds they made. “The birds adapting these inborn calls to another purpose could be the first stepping stone towards language,” says Feeney. “So, animal communication and human language are closely related, rather than ‘language’ being a uniquely human feature.” 28. What is true about the “whining” call? A. It’s similar to human language. B. It’s used against host species. C. It’s used for nest building. D. It warns against brood parasites. 29. What can be inferred from the mobbing behavior? A. It helps recreate brood parasite sounds. B. It gathers birds to drive away threats. C. It warns other host species to stay away. D. It allows communication with parasites. 30. What does the foreign call experiment show? A. Birds only respond to local calls. B. The mobbing response is learned quickly. C. The response is inborn but locally adapted. D. All such calls cause a similar reaction. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A shared alarm call in birds. B. The threat of brood parasites. C. The development of language. D. Support for Darwin’s theory. D New research shows an important finding to add to the known benefits of regular exercise: middle-aged women with good physical fitness are nearly 90% less likely to develop dementia (失智症) in old age. Also, for those who are affected, the disease appears about ten years later than in women who are less sporty. Lead researcher Dr Helena Hörder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: “These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people’s cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were tired out to measure their peak (最大值的) cardiovascular ability. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts. In total, 40 women reached the standard for a high fitness level, meaning they could manage 120 watts or more. Another 92 women were in the medium fitness group. Finally, 59 women were in the low fitness group. They could only manage 80 watts or less, or had to stop the test early because of health problems. These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following forty years. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness. “However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an connection,” said Hörder. “More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also said that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were from Sweden, so the results may not apply to other groups. 32. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Advantages of sporty women over men. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. C. Experimental studies on dementia. D. Positive effects of doing exercise. 33. Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise? A. To predict their maximum heart rate. B. To find their hidden health problems. C. To measure their cardiovascular fitness. D. To change their habit of working out. 34. What do we know about Dr Hörder’s study? A. Many participants quit the study. B. The results were disappointing. C. Gathering data was a long effort. D. It tried to find a dementia treatment 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia B. More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia C. Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise D. Biking Improves Women’s Cardiovascular Fitness 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。 What makes a happy life? According to a study by researchers at Harvard University for 85 years, it is not money or career success, exercise or a good diet that gives someone lasting happiness. ____36____. This makes sense. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said, “Man is by nature a social animal.” We have a hunger for it. Living without it is to starve ourselves of what is good right for us. ____37____ . We rely on the Internet to fulfill much of what we did ourselves in the past. The challenging economic situation also means we are more unwilling to spend. The harsh reality is that the desire to socialize is sharply decreasing, for young and older people alike. The Society of UK Theatre has concluded that 40 per cent of theaters in the UK could close in the next five years. More than 180 libraries have either closed or been handed over to volunteer groups since 2016. Theaters and libraries, unlike shops and pubs, are free. ____38____· Nothing is more enlivening than the recognition you get from a close friend or a group of like-minded people, where you can talk confidently and freely and listen with complete attention to what they have to say. ____39____ . This gives a powerful kind of joy. Of course, going to a coffee house or a museum doesn’t make sure of that kind of deep connection. ____40____. But many of our closest relationships are shaped by being in such spaces, either in creating new friendships or deepening the ones we already have. Lose them, and we lose what enables many of us to find the key to true happiness: social connection. A. You are fully seen and heard. B. The key to happiness is social fitness. C. It just shows how serious the problem is. D. And neither does going to any kind of shop. E. Nothing makes people happier than friendship. F. There are countless strengths of staying connected. G. Yet nowadays, we don’t go out as much as we used to. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Getting a signature from just one of sports’ “GOATs” is a challenge.

My neighbor Ollie and I would race to the announcement board to find out the theme. One year, the theme was “Dress up as your favorite book character”. Another year, it was “Be something scary”. But this year, the theme was kind of, well, themeless. “Be creative?” I said, reading the announcement board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie agreed. “Let’s just find some materials first,” I suggested, feeling confused. “I've got it!” Ollie said, grabbing a bunch of fallen leaves. He explained, “They’re free! No one will dress up as a tree like we do!” I loved the idea. Soon we had filled two bags with all sorts of leaves. Ollie pointed to some bunches of shiny leaves. “These look special,” he said, handing me a handful. I didn’t notice the oily shine on them as I put them in my bag. Little did we know what trouble they would bring. Afterwards, we worked for hours. “I’m so tired of gluing leaves,” I complained. “Beleaf me,” said Ollie. “You’re not the only one.” I laughed. “I’ll be so releafed to be done!” “There’s no leafing now,” he added lightly. “But it’ll be worth it. These will be the most tree-mendous costumes of all!” It took us hours to get ready the next morning, and we probably lost half our leaves walking slowly to the park. Around us, we saw witches in pointy hats and superheroes in capes, but many people turned to look at our leaf costumes with surprise and admiration. “I’ve never seen anything like that!” said a witch. “Yeah, they really stand out,” her ghost friend agreed. “The way the leaves move and fall makes them look exactly like real trees!” Hearing this, we were extremely happy. 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。 As we stood there, enjoying all the nice comments about our costumes, a terrible itch (痒) suddenly started everywhere. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the host announced the winner list. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Excuse me, do you have a fitting room?
