In these 4 cities around the world, Christmas time is a magical experience like no other. Tallinn, Estonia For an up-and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree—thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world. Bruges, Belgium This pedestrian-friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time—or take a boat ride along the canals. The medieval buildings look like gingerbread houses, and the lights decorating them give a truly magical glow. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit. Rome, Italy There isn’t a more spiritual place than Rome with its many beautiful churches and cathedrals. Visitors can attend Christmas Eve midnight mass in St. Peter’s square; tickets for inside the basilica usually sell out months in advance. In addition, the Pope will appear on the basilica’s balcony to give his blessing on Christmas Day. Rovaniemi, Finland You can’t get any Christmas-ier than a sleigh ride—and that’s one of the highlights here. “The official hometown of Santa Claus” features Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where visitors can take reindeer and husky rides. Rovaniemi also offers other seasonal activities like viewing the Northern Lights, winter swimming, and enjoying a warm sauna. 1. What do the first two destinations have in common? A. Visitors can enjoy music in both places. B. Both cities offer a visit to a Christmas tree. C. You can take a boat ride in these two cities. D. Both exhibit ice sculptures. 2. Before going inside the basilica on Christmas, you are supposed to _________. A. Attend midnight mass in St. Peter’s square. B. Appear on the balcony with the Pope. C. Buy a ticket months ahead of time. D. Sign up for the blessing event. 3. If you want to know the origin of Santa Claus, where will you go? A. Tallinn B. Bruges C. Rome D. Rovaniemi 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了四个适合体验冬季圣诞气氛的城市，强调它们各自独特的圣诞传统与活动。每个城市都以其独特的文化、历史和节庆活动，为游客带来与众不同的圣诞体验。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tallinn, Estonia中“It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree — thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world.( 在圣诞节期间，这里也非常漂亮，有真正的圣诞市场、圣诞节日、音乐会和圣诞树——被认为是世界上最古老的公开展示圣诞树的地方。)”以及Bruges, Belgium中“The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit.( 这座城市的节日活动包括仲冬节、颂歌和音乐，以及冰雕展览。)”可知，两地的共同点是都能享受音乐活动。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rome. Italy中“Visitors can attend Christmas Eve midnight mass in St. Peter’s square; tickets for inside the basilica usually sell out months in advance.( 游客可以在圣彼得广场参加平安夜午夜弥撒；进入大教堂的门票通常会提前几个月售罄。)”可知，在圣诞节进入大教堂之前，你应该提前几个月买票。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rovaniemi, Finland中“You can’t get any Christmas-ier than a sleigh ride — and that’s one of the highlights here. “The official hometown of Santa Claus” features Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where visitors can take reindeer and husky rides.( 你再也找不到比乘坐雪橇更有圣诞气息的了——这是这里的亮点之一。“圣诞老人的官方故乡”以北极圈的圣诞老人村为特色，游客可以在那里体验驯鹿雪橇和哈士奇雪橇。)”可知，若想了解圣诞老人的起源，应前往罗瓦涅米(Rovaniemi)。故选D项。 B Suzanne Heywood was just seven years old when her parents pulled her out of school. The British family went on a voyage around the world. While her parents thought it was the trip of a lifetime and often described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne has since compared it to being locked up in prison. Now 55 years old, Suzanne has recalled her 10 years at sea in her memoir Wavewalker. “My father said we would be back in three years and everything would go back to normal, but in fact, it was almost 10 years before we came back, and I spent that time trapped on a boat, unable to go to school or have normal friendships,” she wrote in the book. Despite her father assuring her the trip would be safe, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous”, sharing details of a journey where the boat hit an enormous storm. She was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin and the wall, breaking her skull and nose. Three days later, they found a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean where she had multiple head operations without anaesthetic. In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne was determined to get an education to live a normal life. She began studying in the small cabin of the boat, which she found challenging both practically and academically. Then, when she was 16,her parents enrolled the teenager into a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Finally, despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne landed a spot at Oxford University, and after saving up money she’d earned working on a farm, Suzanne bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK. Since going public with her story, Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller, and she continues to work through the trauma caused by her unstable childhood. Suzanne’s extraordinary tale has captured the hearts of millions, with thousands of online fans praising her bravery. 4. Why did Suzanne Heywood leave school at the age of seven? A. Her parents were locked up in prison. B. Her parents decided to take her on a voyage. C. She wanted to escape the pressure of school life. D. Her family had to immigrate to another country. 5. What can we learn about Suzanne’s voyage at sea? A. It lasted exactly three years as her father promised. B. She received professional medical care on the boat. C. She suffered serious injuries in a terrible storm. D. She was admitted to Oxford University. 6. The underlined word “trauma” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by_________ A. annoyance B. anxiety C. frustration D. suffering 7. What mainly leads to Suzanne’s success in later life? A. Her parents’ constant encouragement. B. Her strong desire for a normal life. C. The popularity of her memoir. D. The help from online fans. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了苏珊娜七岁被父母带离学校环球航海近十年，这段经历充满危险且让她备受煎熬。她坚持自学，终考入牛津，后写回忆录成畅销书，其勇气打动众人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Suzanne Heywood was just seven years old when her parents pulled her out of school. The British family went on a voyage around the world.( 苏珊娜·海伍德的父母把她从学校接走时，她才7岁。这个英国家庭作了一次环球航行。)”可知，她离开学校是因为父母决定带她进行环球航行。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite her father assuring her the trip would be safe, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous”, sharing details of a journey where the boat hit an enormous storm. She was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin and the wall, breaking her skull and nose.( 尽管她的父亲向她保证这次旅行会很安全，但苏珊娜声称这是“非常危险的”，并分享了船遭遇巨大风暴的旅程细节。她被甩到船舱的天花板和墙壁上，头骨和鼻子都骨折了。)”可知，关于苏珊娜的海上航行，我们能了解到她在一场可怕的风暴中受了重伤。故选C项。 6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文内容，她经历了十年被困船上的童年、重伤手术、教育中断等，以及该句中“Since going public with her story, Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller, and she continues to work through the…caused by her unstable childhood.( 自从她的故事公开后，苏珊娜的书立刻成为畅销书，她继续努力克服她不稳定的童年造成的……。)”由此可知，这些长期的艰难经历造成的是深刻的心理创伤和精神痛苦。D选项“suffering”最贴近“长期身心创伤”的含义。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne was determined to get an education to live a normal life.( 为了度过她“非常奇怪”的童年，苏珊娜决心接受教育，过上正常的生活。)”可推知，她对正常生活的强烈渴望驱使其在艰难条件下坚持学习，考入牛津，改变命运，所以是她后来成功的核心动力。故选B项。 C The Can of Ham cannot find a buyer. It may be hard to see the Gherkin because the Walkie-Talkie and the Cheesegrater get in the way. London’s iconic skyline is constructed not just from glass and steel, but also from imaginative nicknames. This phenomenon of informal naming extends far beyond architecture, offering insights into consumer behavior and workplace dynamics(动态). Consumers frequently create nicknames for brands, which typically signal a genuine connection. Research by Zhe Zhang and Vanessa Patrick examined how people react to nicknames used by other consumers. In one experiment, participants read an online review of a McDonald’s item. Some saw the chain referred to as “Mickey D’s,” while others saw the formal name. The results showed that when consumers use nicknames like “Mickey D’s” in product reviews, those reviews appear more truthful and are more likely to influence purchasing decisions. However, this positive effect is fragile. When the researchers tested scenarios where a firm used its own nickname in communications — such as Walmart referring to itself as “Wally World” — the benefits disappeared. A nickname that feels natural when used by consumers comes across as untruthful when used by the firm itself. Workplace is another place filled with nicknames, with one study finding 87% of employees encounter them. However, even if a nickname is meant as a mark of affection, it matters who coins it. In an experiment, researchers looked into the differences between “upward nicknaming” (employees naming bosses) and “downward nicknaming” (bosses naming employees). The result reveals that downward nicknaming is associated with lower perceived concern for employee welfare, while upward nicknaming is associated with greater staff well-being. The lessons for managers and brands are clear. Nicknaming is a natural social habit that can foster connection and positivity. However, the most effective and truthful nicknames are those that arise naturally from the bottom up. Therefore, brands should avoid overusing their own, and bosses should only intervene if nicknames cause discomfort. 8. What effect does using brand nicknames in consumer reviews have? A. It increases the willingness of purchase. B. It helps consumers make wiser decisions. C. It makes the reviews more likely to be ignored. D. It causes the brand to ban the use of nicknames. 9. Why do the positive effects of nicknames disappear when companies use them? A. The nicknames are not popular among the public. B. Consumers think the nicknames are too casual. C. The nicknames have lost the truthfulness. D. Brand values are not well reflected. 10. What can be inferred about “downward nicknaming” in the workplace? A. It helps improve staff productivity. B. It makes employees feel less valued. C. It leads to lower work engagement. D. It is encouraged by most management teams. 11. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Brands and Bosses: Should They Embrace or Reject Nicknames? B. Rise of Informal Naming: A Trend Impacting Brands and Workplaces C. Nicknames: Bridging Cultural Gaps and Strengthening Workplace Teams D. Magic of Informal Names: Shaping Consumer Choices and Workplace Bonds 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了昵称现象在社会多个层面的作用和影响，揭示了昵称如何影响人们的感知、行为和关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The results showed that when consumers use nicknames like “Mickey D’s” in product reviews, those reviews appear more truthful and are more likely to influence purchasing decisions.(结果表明，当消费者在产品评论中使用“Mickey D’s”这样的昵称时，这些评论看起来更真实，更有可能影响购买决策。)”可知在商品评价中使用昵称会让评论显得更真实，更有可能增加消费者的购买决定。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A nickname that feels natural when used by consumers comes across as untruthful when used by the firm itself.( 一个被消费者使用时感觉很自然的昵称，被公司自己使用时却被认为是不真实的。)”可知消费者使用时显得自然贴切的昵称，一旦由品牌方自己使用，就会给人一种不真实的感觉。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In an experiment, researchers looked into the differences between “upward nicknaming” (employees naming bosses) and “downward nicknaming” (bosses naming employees). The result reveals that downward nicknaming is associated with lower perceived concern for employee welfare, while upward nicknaming is associated with greater staff well-being.( 在一项实验中，研究人员研究了“向上昵称”（员工称呼老板）和“向下昵称”（老板称呼员工）之间的区别。结果表明，向下的昵称与对员工福利的关注度较低有关，而向上的昵称与员工的幸福感较高有关。)”可知，关于职场中的“向下昵称”，我们可以推断出这会让员工觉得不受重视。故选B项。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文围绕“昵称”展开，第一段引出话题，第二段讲昵称对消费者行为的影响，第三段讲昵称对职场关系的影响，最后一段总结建议。选项Magic of Informal Names: Shaping Consumer Choices and Workplace Bonds(非正式昵称的魔力：塑造消费者选择与职场关系)，全面覆盖了“消费者行为”和“职场动态”两大核心内容，符合主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 D A recent study published in Nature established an alarming link: for every hour its elderly participants delayed breakfast, their risk of death seemed to rise by 10%. It followed a 2019 study, which found that participants who never consumed breakfast had a 75% higher risk of death. Some researchers think this is because those who skip breakfast might end up consuming more food later, leading to issues in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity. Others suggest that those who eat breakfast later might be staying up later at night, which could carry its own health risks. But both of these studies are observational, meaning they can’t definitely prove skipping or delaying breakfast is a cause of increased death risk. Dr Suzanne Wylie, GP and medical advisor for IQdoctor, thought we should interpret these findings with caution. “Association does not mean causation, and there are many possible explanations for this link,” Dr Wylie said, “for example, people who are unwell might naturally eat later, so it may be that poor health leads to delayed breakfasts, rather than the other way around. For healthy adults, particularly those who practise some form of intermittent fasting, it’s unlikely to cause significant harm in itself” However, this doesn’t mean meal times are irrelevant for all people. For older people, skipping breakfast in these groups could contribute to reduced energy intake, weight loss, or low blood sugar levels, especially if they’re taking certain medications. “The sum of a person’s habits is much more important than one factor taken in isolation. What someone eats, how active they are, and how well they sleep are all far more influential on long-term health than the precise time they have breakfast,” she stated, “while I wouldn’t describe skipping or delaying breakfast as ‘bad’ in a blanket sense, I would encourage common people, particularly older ones, to maintain a regular eating pattern and not to ignore early hunger cues.” 12. What can we infer from the two studies mentioned in the passage? A. Delaying breakfast by one hour increases the death risk by 75%. B. Both studies lack solid proof to confirm a causal relationship. C. Skipping breakfast is the main cause of high death risk. D. Delayed breakfast leads to poorer insulin sensitivity. 13. Which of the following best describes Dr. Wylie’s attitude towards the studies? A. Fully supportive. B. Totally opposed. C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Basically indifferent. 14. What is Dr Wylie’s advice on breakfast? A. We need to stick to a consistent eating routine. B. Older people should eat breakfast earlier than young adults. C. We should prioritize the time of breakfast over what we eat. D. Intermittent fasting should be publicized. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To stress the link between breakfast and death risk. B. To warn the elderly against delaying or skipping breakfast. C. To urge people to adopt a regular eating pattern for better health. D. To present conflicting views on the health effects of breakfast habits. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了“推迟或不吃早餐是否会增加死亡风险”这一话题，基于《自然》杂志等近期研究，但强调需谨慎解读研究结论，并提供了更全面的健康视角。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But both of these studies are observational, meaning they can’t definitely prove skipping or delaying breakfast is a cause of increased death risk.( 但这两项研究都是观察性的，这意味着它们不能绝对证明不吃或推迟吃早餐会增加死亡风险。)”可知，从文中提到的两项研究中我们可以推断出两项研究都缺乏确凿的证据来证实因果关系。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dr Suzanne Wylie, GP and medical advisor for IQdoctor, thought we should interpret these findings with caution. “Association does not mean causation, and there are many possible explanations for this link,” Dr Wylie said, “for example, people who are unwell might naturally eat later, so it may be that poor health leads to delayed breakfasts, rather than the other way around.( Suzanne Wylie博士是IQdoctor的全科医生和医学顾问，她认为我们应该谨慎地解读这些发现。Wylie博士说：“联系并不意味着因果关系，这种联系有很多可能的解释。例如，身体不健康的人可能会自然地晚吃东西，所以可能是健康状况不佳导致早餐推迟，而不是相反。”)”可推知，Wylie博士对研究结果持谨慎怀疑态度。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I would encourage common people, particularly older ones, to maintain a regular eating pattern and not to ignore early hunger cues.( 我鼓励普通人，尤其是老年人，保持有规律的饮食模式，不要忽视早期的饥饿信号。)”可知，Wylie博士建议我们需要坚持一贯的饮食习惯。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章先介绍两项研究发现的“早餐习惯与死亡风险的关联”，再呈现研究者的推测，最后给出 Dr. Wylie 的谨慎解读和建议，整体是呈现不同观点。由此可推知，文章的主要目的是就早餐习惯对健康的影响提出相互矛盾的观点。故选D项。 第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me two years ago that I would rely on “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) for most of my major purchases, I would have shaken my head in disbelief. In my eyes, BNPL services were for people who couldn’t manage their budgets, ended up in endless debt, or spent money on things they couldn’t afford. They had nothing to do with a careful spender like me.____16____ The friend who first introduced me to BNPL insisted it was a smart way to balance cash flow.____17____I used it to buy a new laptop for work, splitting the payment into six monthly installments with zero interest. But halfway through, an unexpected bill popped up, and I missed a payment—suddenly facing late fees that made the total cost higher than the original price. I also unconsciously bought two extra accessories I didn’t really need, just because the “low monthly payment” tricked me into feeling financially flexible.____18____Later, I planned a weekend getaway with my family. This time, I chose a reputable platform with clear terms, set a strict budget beforehand, and the platform even sent automatic reminders for payment due dates, and there were no hidden fees at all. It turned out to be incredibly convenient, letting me spread the cost without straining my monthly budget. After that successful trip, my family and I became BNPL fans.____19____Recently, when we needed to replace our old washing machine, BNPL allowed us to get a high-quality model right away instead of waiting months to save up. ____20____It must be true that every new consumption model has its pros and cons—what matters is how you use it. I recommend that you embrace BNPL wisely, and it might just change your approach to managing expenses for the better. A. Things would soon change my mind, however. B. Appealing as it sounded, I was still a little hesitant. C. In fact, the first experience I had was a total disaster. D. I must admit that I’ve truly grown to appreciate BNPL. E. I was, nevertheless, persuaded to give BNPL another try. F. We’ve used it for everything from home appliances to holiday gifts since then. G. Even after using BNPL several times, I still can’t decide whether it’s good or not. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者对“先买后付”消费模式从怀疑、排斥到接受、欣赏的个人经历和心路转变。 【16题详解】 前文“In my eyes, BNPL services were for people who couldn’t manage their budgets, ended up in endless debt, or spent money on things they couldn’t afford. They had nothing to do with a careful spender like me.( 在我看来，BNPL的服务对象是那些无法管理自己的预算，最终陷入无休止的债务，或者把钱花在他们负担不起的东西上的人。他们跟我这种精打细算的人毫无关系。)”表明了作者最初对BNPL的负面看法。A 选项“Things would soon change my mind, however.( 然而，事情很快就改变了我的想法。)”通过“however”进行转折，预示下文将出现改变作者观念的具体事件，在结构上起到了承上启下的作用，为后文叙事埋下伏笔。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The friend who first introduced me to BNPL insisted it was a smart way to balance cash flow.( 第一次把我介绍给BNPL的朋友坚持认为这是平衡现金流的聪明方法。)”可知，前文提到“朋友坚持说BNPL是平衡现金流的聪明方式”，C选项“In fact, the first experience I had was a total disaster.( .事实上，我的第一次经历完全是一场灾难。)”以“In fact”引出转折，直接点明首次体验的实际结果很糟糕，与朋友的推荐形成对比，并为后文具体描述“错过还款、产生滞纳金、冲动消费”等负面经历做铺垫。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“I used it to buy a new laptop for work, splitting the payment into six monthly installments with zero interest. But halfway through, an unexpected bill popped up, and I missed a payment—suddenly facing late fees that made the total cost higher than the original price. I also unconsciously bought two extra accessories I didn’t really need, just because the “low monthly payment” tricked me into feeling financially flexible.( 我用这笔钱买了一台新的工作用笔记本电脑，分六个月分期付款，利息为零。但中途，一张意想不到的账单突然冒了出来，我错过了一笔付款——突然面临滞纳金，这使得总成本高于原价。我还不自觉地多买了两件我并不真正需要的配件，只是因为“低月供”让我觉得经济上很灵活。)”详细描述了第一次使用BNPL的失败经历，空格后“Later, I planned a weekend getaway with my family.( 后来，我和家人计划周末度假。)”则开始叙述“后来计划家庭旅行时再次使用BNPL”的成功经历。E选项“I was, nevertheless, persuaded to give BNPL another try.( 尽管如此，我还是被说服再给BNPL一次机会。)”通过“nevertheless”进行转折，并点明“被说服再试一次”，解释了作者从失败到再次尝试的态度转变，是衔接两段不同经历的关键。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“After that successful trip, my family and I became BNPL fans.( 在那次成功的旅行之后，我和我的家人成为了BNPL的粉丝。)”可知，我和家人成了BNPL的粉丝，F选项“We’ve used it for everything from home appliances to holiday gifts since then.( 从那以后，从家用电器到节日礼物，我们都用它来买东西。)”具体说明成为粉丝后的行为——“自此用于从家电到节日礼物的各种消费”，是前句的自然延伸，并通过“家电”的例子直接引出下文“更换洗衣机”的具体案例，同时呼应了后句的人称代词“we”。故选F项。 【20题详解】 该空位于结尾总结段段首。后文内容“It must be true that every new consumption model has its pros and cons—what matters is how you use it. I recommend that you embrace BNPL wisely, and it might just change your approach to managing expenses for the better.( 每一种新的消费模式都有它的优点和缺点——重要的是你如何使用它。我建议你明智地接受BNPL，它可能会改变你更好地管理费用的方法。)”提到新模式有利弊，关键看如何使用；建议明智地接纳，都表明了作者对BNPL的最终积极看法。D选项“I must admit that I’ve truly grown to appreciate BNPL.( 我必须承认我已经真正开始欣赏BNPL了。)”直接点明了作者的最终态度，能很好地引领后文的总结性建议。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空(共15个小题，每小题1分，满分15分) I was signing copies of my memoir when I noticed a middle-aged lady at the gate.

Please!” she begged, her big eyes shining like stars. I hesitated. Lila had caught a cold last week, and Mom warned us not to stay outside too long. But her pouty (嘴的) lips and eager gaze made it hard to say no. “Fine,” I sighed, “but we’ll wear extra clothes, and only for 30 minutes.” Lila cheered and rushed to grab her coat. But when she pulled open the drawer, her shoulders slumped. “My scarf is gone,” she murmured, searching through the piles of clothes. I remembered seeing it on the clothesline yesterday-probably blown away by the wind. Lila’s eyes were filled with tears. That scarf was a gift from Grandma, woven with soft wool in her favorite pink color. I took off my own scarf and wrapped it around her neck. “Here, use mine,” I said. Lila’s tears stopped, and she looked up at me in surprise. “But you’ll be cold,” she said. “I’m older, I can handle it,” I smiled, zipping up her coat. We built a lopsided snowman with a button nose and twig arms laughing as the snowflakes landed on our hair. When we got home, my nose was red and my cheeks were freezing, but Lila was talking happily about our snowman. That night, I woke up with a running nose and a sore throat — I’d caught a cold. 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。 Para 1: The next morning, I lay in bed, feeling dizzy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: I held the new scarf in my hands, my eyes getting wet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, I lay in bed, feeling dizzy. Just then, I heard soft footsteps approaching. Lila tiptoed into my room, her hands hidden behind her back. “I made you a gift,” she whispered, voice brimming with excitement. Then she handed me a piece of wrinkled paper—a drawing of two girls wearing scarves, standing next to a snowman. And beneath it was a scarf knitted with a messy mix of blue and white. “I asked Mom to teach me,” Lila explained softly. “It’s not as nice as yours, but it’ll keep you warm. I’m sorry you got sick because of me.” I held the new scarf in my hands, my eyes getting wet. “It’s not perfect, but I tried my best.” Lila said shyly, twisting her fingers. The new scarf was indeed imperfect—some stitches were loose and uneven while others were pulled too tight, but it felt softer than any scarf I’d ever owned. Gently, I wrapped it around my neck. “It’s perfect, Lila,” I whispered, pulling her into a hug. The wind was still howling outside, but my heart felt warmer than ever. At that moment, I realized that the most precious gifts are never the flawless ones but those woven with love, just like this unique little scarf. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了冬日初雪，妹妹莱拉想堆雪人却弄丢了奶奶送的围巾，姐姐埃拉把自己的围巾给了她。两人开心堆完雪人后，埃拉受凉感冒。次日，莱拉悄悄送给姐姐一幅画和自己亲手织的围巾，道歉自责。埃拉被这份充满爱意的礼物打动，深感这份不完美的礼物格外珍贵。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我躺在床上，感到头晕。”可知，第一段可描写莱拉在妈妈的指导下为作者编织了一条围巾。 ②由第二段首句内容“我手里拿着新围巾，眼睛都湿了。”可知，第二段可描写作者戴上围巾感受到的温暖以及内心感悟。 2.续写线索：躺在床上——莱拉进来——给围巾——戴上围巾——拥抱——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递给：handed/ gave ②意识到：realize/ be aware of ③低声说：whisper/ speak in a low voice 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/ thrill ②温柔地：softly/gently 【点睛】[高分句型1]At that moment, I realized that the most precious gifts are never the flawless ones but those woven with love, just like this unique little scarf.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Lila said shyly, twisting her fingers.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词twisting作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年高二年级12月考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

In these 4 cities around the world, Christmas time is a magical experience like no other. Tallinn, Estonia For an up-and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree—thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world. Bruges, Belgium This pedestrian-friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time—or take a boat ride along the canals. The medieval buildings look like gingerbread houses, and the lights decorating them give a truly magical glow. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit. Rome, Italy There isn’t a more spiritual place than Rome with its many beautiful churches and cathedrals. Visitors can attend Christmas Eve midnight mass in St. Peter’s square; tickets for inside the basilica usually sell out months in advance. In addition, the Pope will appear on the basilica’s balcony to give his blessing on Christmas Day. Rovaniemi, Finland You can’t get any Christmas-ier than a sleigh ride—and that’s one of the highlights here. “The official hometown of Santa Claus” features Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where visitors can take reindeer and husky rides. Rovaniemi also offers other seasonal activities like viewing the Northern Lights, winter swimming, and enjoying a warm sauna. 1. What do the first two destinations have in common? A.

Rovaniemi B Suzanne Heywood was just seven years old when her parents pulled her out of school. The British family went on a voyage around the world. While her parents thought it was the trip of a lifetime and often described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne has since compared it to being locked up in prison. Now 55 years old, Suzanne has recalled her 10 years at sea in her memoir Wavewalker. “My father said we would be back in three years and everything would go back to normal, but in fact, it was almost 10 years before we came back, and I spent that time trapped on a boat, unable to go to school or have normal friendships,” she wrote in the book. Despite her father assuring her the trip would be safe, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous”, sharing details of a journey where the boat hit an enormous storm. She was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin and the wall, breaking her skull and nose. Three days later, they found a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean where she had multiple head operations without anaesthetic. In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne was determined to get an education to live a normal life. She began studying in the small cabin of the boat, which she found challenging both practically and academically. Then, when she was 16,her parents enrolled the teenager into a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Finally, despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne landed a spot at Oxford University, and after saving up money she’d earned working on a farm, Suzanne bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK. Since going public with her story, Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller, and she continues to work through the trauma caused by her unstable childhood. Suzanne’s extraordinary tale has captured the hearts of millions, with thousands of online fans praising her bravery. 4. Why did Suzanne Heywood leave school at the age of seven? A Her parents were locked up in prison. B. Her parents decided to take her on a voyage. C. She wanted to escape the pressure of school life. D. Her family had to immigrate to another country. 5. What can we learn about Suzanne’s voyage at sea? A. It lasted exactly three years as her father promised. B. She received professional medical care on the boat. C. She suffered serious injuries in a terrible storm. D. She was admitted to Oxford University. 6. The underlined word “trauma” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by_________ A. annoyance B. anxiety C. frustration D. suffering 7. What mainly leads to Suzanne’s success in later life? A. Her parents’ constant encouragement. B. Her strong desire for a normal life. C. The popularity of her memoir. D. The help from online fans. C The Can of Ham cannot find a buyer. It may be hard to see the Gherkin because the Walkie-Talkie and the Cheesegrater get in the way. London’s iconic skyline is constructed not just from glass and steel, but also from imaginative nicknames. This phenomenon of informal naming extends far beyond architecture, offering insights into consumer behavior and workplace dynamics(动态). Consumers frequently create nicknames for brands, which typically signal a genuine connection. Research by Zhe Zhang and Vanessa Patrick examined how people react to nicknames used by other consumers. In one experiment, participants read an online review of a McDonald’s item. Some saw the chain referred to as “Mickey D’s,” while others saw the formal name. The results showed that when consumers use nicknames like “Mickey D’s” in product reviews, those reviews appear more truthful and are more likely to influence purchasing decisions. However, this positive effect is fragile. When the researchers tested scenarios where a firm used its own nickname in communications — such as Walmart referring to itself as “Wally World” — the benefits disappeared. A nickname that feels natural when used by consumers comes across as untruthful when used by the firm itself. Workplace is another place filled with nicknames, with one study finding 87% of employees encounter them. However, even if a nickname is meant as a mark of affection, it matters who coins it. In an experiment, researchers looked into the differences between “upward nicknaming” (employees naming bosses) and “downward nicknaming” (bosses naming employees). The result reveals that downward nicknaming is associated with lower perceived concern for employee welfare, while upward nicknaming is associated with greater staff well-being. The lessons for managers and brands are clear. Nicknaming is a natural social habit that can foster connection and positivity. However, the most effective and truthful nicknames are those that arise naturally from the bottom up. Therefore, brands should avoid overusing their own, and bosses should only intervene if nicknames cause discomfort. 8. What effect does using brand nicknames in consumer reviews have? A. It increases the willingness of purchase. B. It helps consumers make wiser decisions. C. It makes the reviews more likely to be ignored. D. It causes the brand to ban the use of nicknames. 9.

The nicknames have lost the truthfulness. D. Brand values are not well reflected. 10. What can be inferred about “downward nicknaming” in the workplace? A. It helps improve staff productivity. B. It makes employees feel less valued. C. It leads to lower work engagement. D. It is encouraged by most management teams. 11. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Brands and Bosses: Should They Embrace or Reject Nicknames? B. Rise of Informal Naming: A Trend Impacting Brands and Workplaces C. Nicknames: Bridging Cultural Gaps and Strengthening Workplace Teams D. Magic of Informal Names: Shaping Consumer Choices and Workplace Bonds D A recent study published in Nature established an alarming link: for every hour its elderly participants delayed breakfast, their risk of death seemed to rise by 10%. It followed a 2019 study, which found that participants who never consumed breakfast had a 75% higher risk of death. Some researchers think this is because those who skip breakfast might end up consuming more food later, leading to issues in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity. Others suggest that those who eat breakfast later might be staying up later at night, which could carry its own health risks. But both of these studies are observational, meaning they can’t definitely prove skipping or delaying breakfast is a cause of increased death risk. Dr Suzanne Wylie, GP and medical advisor for IQdoctor, thought we should interpret these findings with caution. “Association does not mean causation, and there are many possible explanations for this link,” Dr Wylie said, “for example, people who are unwell might naturally eat later, so it may be that poor health leads to delayed breakfasts, rather than the other way around. For healthy adults, particularly those who practise some form of intermittent fasting, it’s unlikely to cause significant harm in itself” However this doesn’t mean meal times are irrelevant for all people. For older people, skipping breakfast in these groups could contribute to reduced energy intake, weight loss, or low blood sugar levels, especially if they’re taking certain medications. “The sum of a person’s habits is much more important than one factor taken in isolation. What someone eats, how active they are, and how well they sleep are all far more influential on long-term health than the precise time they have breakfast,” she stated, “while I wouldn’t describe skipping or delaying breakfast as ‘bad’ in a blanket sense, I would encourage common people, particularly older ones, to maintain a regular eating pattern and not to ignore early hunger cues.” 12. What can we infer from the two studies mentioned in the passage? A. Delaying breakfast by one hour increases the death risk by 75%. B. Both studies lack solid proof to confirm a causal relationship. C. Skipping breakfast is the main cause of high death risk. D. Delayed breakfast leads to poorer insulin sensitivity. 13. Which of the following best describes Dr. Wylie’s attitude towards the studies? A. Fully supportive. B. Totally opposed. C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Basically indifferent. 14. What is Dr Wylie’s advice on breakfast? A. We need to stick to a consistent eating routine. B. Older people should eat breakfast earlier than young adults. C. We should prioritize the time of breakfast over what we eat. D. Intermittent fasting should be publicized. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To stress the link between breakfast and death risk. B. To warn the elderly against delaying or skipping breakfast. C. To urge people to adopt a regular eating pattern for better health. D. To present conflicting views on the health effects of breakfast habits. 第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me two years ago that I would rely on “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) for most of my major purchases, I would have shaken my head in disbelief. In my eyes, BNPL services were for people who couldn’t manage their budgets, ended up in endless debt, or spent money on things they couldn’t afford. They had nothing to do with a careful spender like me.____16____ The friend who first introduced me to BNPL insisted it was a smart way to balance cash flow.____17____I used it to buy a new laptop for work, splitting the payment into six monthly installments with zero interest. But halfway through, an unexpected bill popped up, and I missed a payment—suddenly facing late fees that made the total cost higher than the original price. I also unconsciously bought two extra accessories I didn’t really need, just because the “low monthly payment” tricked me into feeling financially flexible.____18____Later, I planned a weekend getaway with my family. This time, I chose a reputable platform with clear terms, set a strict budget beforehand, and the platform even sent automatic reminders for payment due dates, and there were no hidden fees at all. It turned out to be incredibly convenient, letting me spread the cost without straining my monthly budget. After that successful trip, my family and I became BNPL fans.____19____Recently, when we needed to replace our old washing machine, BNPL allowed us to get a high-quality model right away instead of waiting months to save up. ____20____It must be true that every new consumption model has its pros and cons—what matters is how you use it. I recommend that you embrace BNPL wisely, and it might just change your approach to managing expenses for the better. A. Things would soon change my mind, however. B. Appealing as it sounded, I was still a little hesitant. C. In fact, the first experience I had was a total disaster. D. I must admit that I’ve truly grown to appreciate BNPL. E. I was, nevertheless, persuaded to give BNPL another try. F. We’ve used it for everything from home appliances to holiday gifts since then. G. Even after using BNPL several times, I still can’t decide whether it’s good or not. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空(共15个小题，每小题1分，满分15分) I was signing copies of my memoir when I noticed a middle-aged lady at the gate.

Please!” she begged, her big eyes shining like stars. I hesitated. Lila had caught a cold last week, and Mom warned us not to stay outside too long. But her pouty (嘴的) lips and eager gaze made it hard to say no. “Fine,” I sighed, “but we’ll wear extra clothes, and only for 30 minutes.” Lila cheered and rushed to grab her coat. But when she pulled open the drawer, her shoulders slumped. “My scarf is gone,” she murmured, searching through the piles of clothes. I remembered seeing it on the clothesline yesterday-probably blown away by the wind. Lila’s eyes were filled with tears. That scarf was a gift from Grandma, woven with soft wool in her favorite pink color. I took off my own scarf and wrapped it around her neck. “Here use mine,” I said. Lila’s tears stopped, and she looked up at me in surprise. “But you’ll be cold,” she said. “I’m older, I can handle it,” I smiled, zipping up her coat. We built a lopsided snowman with a button nose and twig arms, laughing as the snowflakes landed on our hair. When we got home, my nose was red and my cheeks were freezing, but Lila was talking happily about our snowman. That night, I woke up with a running nose and a sore throat — I’d caught a cold. 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。 Para 1: The next morning, I lay in bed, feeling dizzy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: I held the new scarf in my hands, my eyes getting wet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
