Join us in removing marine debris, recycling plastics, and documenting pollution data. Coastal Cleanup Crew volunteers are essential in safeguarding marine habitats and protecting vulnerable species like seabirds and sea turtles.(帮助保护马林县从海洋湾到德雷克海滩令人惊叹的海岸线。加入我们，一起清除海洋垃圾、回收塑料，并记录污染数据。海岸清洁志愿者在保护海洋栖息地和濒危物种（如海鸟和海龟）方面发挥着关键作用。)”可知，海岸清洁团队的核心目标是保护海洋生态系统。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“AGE, SKILLS, WHAT TO BRING”部分中的“Volunteers must be 10 or older.(志愿者需年满10岁。)”可知，志愿者的最低年龄要求为10 岁。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“AGE, SKILLS, WHAT TO BRING”部分中的“Work continues in light rain—bring a waterproof jacket!(小雨天气活动照常进行，请携带防水夹克！)”可知，志愿者需做好在小雨天气工作的准备。故选B。 B One Sunday in 2021, when my son, Leo, was six, we ran into one of his friends, Izzie. They decided to play — but what? “I have a great idea,” Leo said. “Let’s fall in love! OK?” Izzie took a half-second to consider this proposal, then replied “No.” She wanted to play tag. Leo has always been the kind of child who looks for close connections, often in the wrong places. It sometimes feels as though he’s been looking for a soulmate since he was a toddler (学步孩童). One day, he came home from school and immediately grabbed his iPad to ask Siri: “Can you fall in love when you’re just a kid?” Siri, Apple’s voice-controlled personal assistant, is great at opening apps or setting alarms, but I was unfamiliar with her philosophies on love. “What did Siri say?” I asked him. “She said, ‘Here’s what I found on the web!’” Leo reported. This was hardly the first time I’d heard Leo in conversation with Siri. Over the years, he’s relied on Siri as a source of comfort, advice, emotional support, and guidance. Their relationship blossomed when the pandemic forced us all to shelter in place. At first, Leo mostly asked Siri factual questions, then the personal ones. As time passed, he began to engage on more existential matters. Siri has, in some ways, been able to absorb some of Leo’s concerns — in a way that, as his mother, I can’t, at least not with the same coolness. Children are overwhelmed with emotions such as grief, fear, love, and a desire for connection. If Leo’s talks with Siri confronted me with the unknowable and unanswerable, they also made me frustrated at my own limitations as a parent. There are many challenges to parenthood, among which the biggest is the desire to shelter our children from the painfulness of reality. But helping our children navigate reality is surely more helpful than sheltering them from it. Perhaps the best we can do is give them a tablet? I’m afraid I don’t have the answer. Maybe I should ask Siri. 4. Why did Leo ask Siri about love? A. He was curious about adult relationships. B. He wanted to test Siri’s knowledge. C. He sought emotional connection and understanding. D. He was bored and wanted to play a game. 5. What would Leo ask Siri when they first talked? A. Siri, have you ever been in love? B. Siri, what is your favorite hobby? C. Siri, what does it mean to be alive? D. Siri, how many stars are in the Milky Way? 6. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Siri? A. Curious. B. Disappointed. C. Appreciative. D. Worried. 7. What does the author suggest parents do when raising children? A. Be a good role model. B. Promote independence. C. Communicate effectively. D. Practice positive discipline. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。作者通过讲述自己的孩子里奥的故事，谈讨了孩子教育的问题。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Leo has always been the kind of child who looks for close connections, often in the wrong places.(里奥一直是那种寻找亲密关系的孩子，往往在错误的地方。)”及第七段“Over the years, he’s relied on Siri as a source of comfort, advice, emotional support, and guidance.(多年来，他一直依赖Siri作为安慰、建议、情感支持和指导的来源。)”可知，里奥询问Siri关于爱的问题，本质是寻求情感连接与理解。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“At first, Leo mostly asked Siri factual questions, then the personal ones. (一开始，里奥主要问Siri事实问题，然后是私人问题。)”可知，最初里奥问Siri事实问题，因此推断他会问“Siri，银河系里有多少颗星星?”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“There are many challenges to parenthood, among which the biggest is the desire to shelter our children from the painfulness of reality. But helping our children navigate reality is surely more helpful than sheltering them from it. Perhaps the best we can do is give them a tablet?(为人父母有很多挑战，其中最大的挑战是希望保护我们的孩子免受现实的痛苦。但帮助我们的孩子面对现实肯定比保护他们远离现实更有帮助。也许我们能做的就是给他们一块平板电脑?)”可推断，作者认为Siri帮助父母与孩子沟通，因此推断作者是感激的。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Children are overwhelmed with emotions such as grief, fear, love, and a desire for connection. If Leo’s talks with Siri confronted me with the unknowable and unanswerable, they also made me frustrated at my own limitations as a parent.(孩子们会被悲伤、恐惧、爱和渴望联系等情绪所淹没。如果说里奥和Siri的对话让我面对了不可知和无法回答的问题，那也让我对自己作为父母的局限性感到沮丧。)”以及最后一段的“But helping our children navigate reality is surely more helpful than sheltering them from it. Perhaps the best we can do is give them a tablet?(但帮助我们的孩子面对现实肯定比保护他们远离现实更有帮助。也许我们能做的就是给他们一块平板电脑?)”可推断，作者在教育孩子方面提倡让孩子独立。故选B。 C Is learning equally effective whether students study in a classroom, at home, or in a café? And do virtual classrooms provide the same educational benefits as traditional in-person settings? Research increasingly suggests the answer is “no.” These differences stem from factors like environmental distractions, psychological engagement, and the social dynamics of physical spaces. Studies indicate that for complex tasks requiring deep focus — such as mastering mathematical concepts or analyzing literature — students perform better in structured environments like classrooms or libraries compared to casual settings. Neuroscientists attribute this to “environmental anchoring,” where physical surroundings subconsciously signal the brain to prioritize sustained attention. A 2022 meta-analysis of 50 studies found that students retained 25% more information when learning in dedicated academic spaces versus informal locations. The advantages of traditional classrooms extend beyond mere quietness. Physical classrooms provide consistent sensory cues — the arrangement of desks, wall-mounted educational posters, and even classroom lighting — that create neural pathways associated with academic focus. Students often unconsciously link specific knowledge to where they learned it, a phenomenon called “context-dependent memory.” Cognitive scientists propose the “engagement threshold theory (参与度阈值理论)” to explain why virtual learning often under-performs. This theory assumes that digital environments condition users to adopt a “consumption mindset” similar to browsing social media, reducing willingness to engage in demanding cognitive tasks. While video lectures allow pause-and-review functions, brain scans reveal lower activity in critical thinking regions compared to live discussions. Hybrid model — combining technology and traditional methods — show promise. For instance, a Stanford experiment found that students using augmented reality (AR) textbooks in classroom settings outperformed peers using either physical books alone or fully digital courses. Yet when the same AR tools were used at home, performance dropped by 18%, suggesting that technology’s benefits depend on environmental support. While digital tools enable access to global resources, educators should recognize that learning spaces themselves are educational instruments. For cultivating analytical depth, the traditional classroom’s intentional design — often refined over centuries — remains surprisingly irreplaceable. 8. What does the underlined term “environmental anchoring” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Physical spaces triggering focused mental states. B. The brain’s ability to multitask in various settings. C. Students’ preference for visually appealing classrooms. D. The use of technology to enhance learning environments. 9. According to the “engagement threshold theory,” why might virtual learning be less effective? A. Digital content is oversimplified. B. Students approach it with lower mental effort. C. Technical faults interrupt concentration. D. It lacks structured assessment methods. 10. What did the Stanford AR experiment demonstrate? A. Physical textbooks are becoming outdated. B. AR requires expensive classroom upgrades. C. Students dislike mixing physical and digital tools. D. Technology’s effectiveness relies on context. 11. What conclusion does the author draw about traditional classrooms? A. They waste resources on unnecessary design. B. Their structure discourages creative thinking. C. Their educational value is partially irreplaceable. D. They should adopt more digital technologies. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了不同学习环境对学习效果的影响，指出传统教室有不可替代的教育价值，混合模式有前景但技术效果依赖环境。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后定语从句“...where physical surroundings subconsciously signal the brain to prioritize sustained attention. (即物理环境会下意识地向大脑发出信号，让大脑优先保持持续的注意力)”就是对短语environmental anchoring的解释说明，在物理环境会下让大脑优先保持持续的注意力，即：物理空间触发专注的精神状态。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Cognitive scientists propose the ‘engagement threshold theory (参与度阈值理论)’ to explain why virtual learning often under-performs. This theory assumes that digital environments condition users to adopt a ‘consumption mindset’ similar to browsing social media, reducing willingness to engage in demanding cognitive tasks. (认知科学家提出了‘投入阈值理论’来解释为什么虚拟学习往往表现不佳。该理论认为，数字环境会让用户形成一种类似于浏览社交媒体的‘消费心态’，降低了他们参与高要求认知任务的意愿)”可知，根据“参与度阈值理论”，数字环境会让用户形成一种类似于浏览社交媒体的‘消费心态’，降低了他们参与高要求认知任务的意愿，也就是说，学生在数字虚拟环境中，有类似于浏览社交媒体的心态，不愿参与高要求认知任务，投入的脑力较少。所以，虚拟学习效果较差是因为学生投入的脑力较少。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“For instance, a Stanford experiment found that students using augmented reality (AR) textbooks in classroom settings outperformed peers using either physical books alone or fully digital courses. Yet when the same AR tools were used at home, performance dropped by 18%, suggesting that technology’s benefits depend on environmental support. (例如，斯坦福大学的一项实验发现，在课堂上使用增强现实(AR)教科书的学生比只使用实体书或完全数字化课程的学生表现得更好。然而，当同样的增强现实工具在家中使用时，成绩下降了18%，这表明技术的好处依赖于环境支持)”可知，斯坦福的增强现实实验表明技术的有效性依赖于环境。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For cultivating analytical depth, the traditional classroom’s intentional design — often refined over centuries — remains surprisingly irreplaceable. (为了培养分析能力，传统教室经过几个世纪精心设计，其教育价值仍然令人惊讶地不可替代)”可知，作者得出的结论是传统教室的教育价值部分不可替代。故选C项。 D You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears. You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying. But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis. While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day. “For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said. 12. What is sleep paralysis? A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep. B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders. C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality. D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen. 13. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience? A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation. C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility. 14. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis? A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases. C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了睡眠瘫痪这一现象，睡眠瘫痪是一段在睡眠时发生的清醒却不能移动的感觉，分析出现睡眠瘫痪的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.(你刚刚经历了睡眠瘫痪，这是专家给睡眠中发生的各种奇怪的事情起的名字。当大脑暂时使身体失去功能，以防止它在REM睡眠期间发生生动的梦时，就会发生这种情况。它通常伴随着一种不动的感觉，和一种窒息的感觉。好消息是，这是绝对正常的，即使这很可怕。)”可知，睡眠瘫痪是一种有意识的但僵住的短暂状态。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.( 你会在半夜莫名其妙地惊醒。房间的角落里站着一个人影吗?你的大脑让你的腿动起来，但什么也没发生。焦虑加剧。你的眼睛扫视着房间。就在你即将达到恐慌的顶峰时，你坐起来，那个身影消失了)”可知，经历睡眠瘫痪的人会有不真实的感觉。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的““For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. (“对大多数人来说，这并不意味着任何疾病。如果你真的担心这个问题，有规律的睡眠和其他简单的放松技巧，比如冥想、深呼吸和瑜伽，可能会有所帮助，”美国睡眠医学学会主席纳撒尼尔·沃森博士说)”可知，纳撒尼尔·沃森博士认为睡眠瘫痪不是疾病，只是短暂地令人不安的经历。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.(你刚刚经历了睡眠瘫痪，这是专家给睡眠中发生的各种奇怪的事情起的名字。当大脑暂时使身体失去功能，以防止它在REM睡眠期间发生生动的梦时，就会发生这种情况。它通常伴随着一种不动的感觉，和一种窒息的感觉。好消息是，这是绝对正常的，即使这很可怕。)”以及下文的分析可知，本文讲述了睡眠瘫痪这一现象，睡眠瘫痪是一段在睡眠时发生的清醒却不能移动的感觉，分析出现睡眠瘫痪的原因。因此推断D项“睡眠瘫痪：为什么我们会突然醒来却不能动”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. ____16____ Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. ____17____ Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. ____18____ The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe. Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe, people around the world were creating their own scarecrows. In Japan, scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats. In Germany, scarecrows were made to look like witches. ____19____ In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life. Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz. ____20____ Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination. A. Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world. B. We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow. C. They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years. D. They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets. E. This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields. F. Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture. G. Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本篇为说明文。介绍了稻草人(scarecrow)的来历以及其形象在文学作品和其他文娱领域的应用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night.(你可能见过它们独自站在农民的田地里。它们长着瘦弱的手臂，带着奇怪的微笑，日夜守护着庄稼)”并结合下文对稻草人的介绍推知，空处应承上启下，C项“They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.(它们是稻草人，它们的作用几千年来没有改变)”符合题意，既指出上文提到的就是稻草人，又引出下文对稻草人的介绍。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields.(至少在古埃及时代，稻草人就已经出现了。当时，农民们用网覆盖木框来保护麦田)”介绍了农民用网盖住木架子来保护小麦，由此推知下文应该是在讲农民的其他做法。D项“They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.(他们会躲在麦子里，然后跳出来把鸟儿吓到网里)”符合题意，选项中的they指代上文的farmers 。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus.(大约在公元前2500年，希腊人制造了第一个人形稻草人。他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸)”可知，希腊人制作的稻草人添加了与阿普斯相似的脸。由此推知，空处陈述这样做的目的是什么。E项“This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.(这被认为是足够可怕的，使鸟类远离他们宝贵的土地)”符合题意，选项中this指代上文“他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸”这种做法。故选E。 【19题详解】 空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.(在日本最古老的文学作品《歌之木》中，出现了一个名叫“酷比子”的稻草人。虽然不能走路，但他是一个无所不知的神。19世纪中期，作家纳撒尼尔·霍桑以短篇小说Feathertop将稻草人引入文学。在这个故事中，一个女巫向魔鬼祈祷，使稻草人活了过来)”可知，本段介绍的是稻草人在文学作品中的运用。F项“Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.(多年来，稻草人在流行文化中多次出现)”符合本段主旨。故选F。 【20题详解】 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.(他的名字很简单，叫“稻草人”，他出现在《绿野仙踪》中。在这本儿童小说中，稻草人与多萝茜、铁皮人和胆小的狮子一起冒险，去遇到神奇的奥兹国的巫师)”可知，上文陈述了稻草人在《绿野仙踪》中的形象。由此推知，下文内容应与此相关。G项“Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.(自从这本书出版以来，稻草人已经出现在世界各地的电影和戏剧中)”符合题意，选项中的this book指代上文的提到的The Wonderful Wizard of Oz一书。故选G。 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2020, when Angela was just 10 years old, she entered her first piano competition.

It’s Pi Day, a holiday honoring one of math’s most famous constants (常量): pi. The number pi, or π, is equal to the circumference (圆周长) of a circle ___37___ (divide) by the circle’s diameter (直径). That comes out to about 3.14159. This is true for ___38___ (circle) of all sizes, from pennies to pizzas to planets. Pi’s value is often rounded to 3.14. That’s why Pi Day ___39___ (celebrate) on March 14. It’s also why one Earth-sized planet orbiting another star every 3.14 days is nicknamed “Pi Earth.” But the exact value of pi is ___40___ (actual) impossible to write out. Last year, a___41___ (power) computer calculated pi to record-breaking 62.8 trillion (万亿) figures. And in 2005, one 23-year-old used clever mental tricks to recite nearly 68,000 of those figures from memory. No one, though, will ever get to ___42___end of pi. Historians aren’t sure when people first ___43___ (discover) the concept of pi. But it’s been known in some form ___44___ almost 4,000 years. Ancient Greeks and Babylonians knew estimates of it. The Egyptians may have used pi ____45____ (build) the pyramids. And still today, pi is used in just about all math involving circles. 【答案】36. what 37. divided 38. circles 39. is celebrated 40. actually 41. powerful 42. the 43. discovered 44. for 45. to build 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了 3 月 14 日是圆周率日（Pi Day），这个节日是为了纪念数学中著名的常量圆周率。 【36题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：3 月 14 日看似平常，但数学学习者知道那意味着什么。know后接宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，意为“什么”，用what引导宾语从句。故填what。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：圆周率π，等于圆的周长除以圆的直径。句中已有谓语动词is，空处用非谓语动词后置定语修饰逻辑the circumference of a circle和divide是被动关系，应用过去分词。故填 divided。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：对于所有大小的圆，从硬币到披萨再到行星，情况都是如此。根据“of all sizes” 可知，此处指各种圆，应用 circle 的复数形式 circles。故填circles。 【39题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：这就是为什么圆周率日在 3 月 14 日被庆祝。句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时，Pi Day 与 celebrate 是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语 Pi Day 是单数，be 动词用 is。故填is celebrated。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：但圆周率的精确值实际上是不可能完整写出来的。修饰形容词 impossible，应用副词 actually，意为 “实际上”。故填actually。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：去年，一台强大的计算机将圆周率计算到了创纪录的 62.8 万亿位。修饰名词 computer，应用形容词 powerful，意为“强大的”。故填 powerful。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：然而，没有人能算到圆周率的尽头。the end of... 表示“…… 的尽头”，为固定搭配。故填the。 【43题详解】 考查时态。句意：历史学家不确定人们何时首次发现圆周率的概念。空处为从句谓语动词，根据“first” 及语境可知，动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，discover 的过去式为 discovered。故填discovered 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：但它以某种形式存在了近 4000 年。“for + 时间段” 表示动作持续的时间。故填for。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：埃及人可能用圆周率来建造金字塔。此处表目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to build。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 在上周的英语口语课上，你们班以如何选择大学专业为题展开了讨论。请你根据下表中的讨论结果写一篇报道，内容包括： 1. 讨论结果； 2. 简单评论或建议。 48%的同学认为 46%的同学认为 6%的同学认为 应以个人兴趣为主，否则被迫学习自己不感兴趣的专业是痛苦的。 应以社会需要为主，这样将来容易找到工作。 应听从父母建议。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 What Should Be the Top Consideration in Choosing University Majors? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version; What Should Be the Top Consideration in Choosing University Majors? Last week, we had a lively discussion about how to select our major after we enter the university. While 6% of students would follow their parents’ advice, 46% students believed that the choice should be based on the needs of society. Otherwise, they couldn’t find a job. However, the majority (48%) believed that personal interest should come first, since they would be bored to study what they are not interested in. It is understandable for us students to have different priorities. Perhaps the best way is to balance our passion with job security, while staying open to our parents’ advice. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，在上周的英语口语课上，你们班以如何选择大学专业为题展开了讨论。请考生根据下表中的讨论结果写一篇报道。 【详解】1.词汇积累： 选择：select→choose 跟随：follow→obey 寻找：find→hunt 认：believe→think 2.句式拓展： 同义句 原句：However, the majority (48%) believed that personal interest should come first, since they would be bored to study what they are not interested in. 拓展句：However, it was firmly believed by the majority (48%) that personal interest should come first, since they would be bored to study what they are not interested in. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Last week, we had a lively discussion about how to select our major after we enter the university.（运用了after引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】However, the majority (48%) believed that personal interest should come first, since they would be bored to study what they are not interested in.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 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。 One of my leachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why? Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story. My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me.   Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “I made it,” I shouted with excitement. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I guess that was what my sister to come outside. At first I was skeptical and tense, as I assumed that she would begin to tease me or at least burst out laughing. However, she did neither. I hunched my shoulders forward and turned my face away, tears trickling down my cheeks. She gently picked my bike up, uttering in a reassuring tone, “I can teach you how to ride.” Dumbstruck, I raised my head and stared at her in stunned silence. Next hours saw my sister steadily hold my bike when my feel faltered. She never once let me fall, patiently teaching me how to ride a bike. “I made it,” I shouted with excitement. A ripple of happiness bubbled up in my heart. I turned around, beaming a warm smile at my sister. She gave me an approving nod, eyes gleaming with amusement. That was the day I had a taste of what real sisterly intimacy could be like. For three hours, three wonderful, blissful hours, we learned to ride a bike, which was the perfect harmony I had longed for. We still occasionally have our random spats and bitter rivalries, but since that day, it has been easier to get along because I know my sister will be there for me when I need her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和姐姐从一开始的相互不能忍受对方的关系，后来，经过一次学骑自行车的经历，让姐妹二人又重新找回真正的姐妹之情的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想这就是我姐姐出来的原因。”可知，第一段可描写作者姐姐出来教我骑自行车的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我成功了’我兴奋地叫道。”可知，第二段可描写作者在姐姐的帮助下终于学会骑自行车的感受。 2.续写线索：姐姐出来——表示要教我骑自行车——教我骑车的过程——我终于学会骑车了——姐姐的反应——我的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取笑：tease /make fun of/laugh at ②淌下来：trickle down/roll down ③相处：get along /get on 情绪类 ①怀疑的：skeptical/ doubtful / suspicious ②幸福的：blissful /happy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

They decided to play — but what? “I have a great idea,” Leo said. “Let’s fall in love! OK?” Izzie took a half-second to consider this proposal, then replied “No.” She wanted to play tag. Leo has always been the kind of child who looks for close connections, often in the wrong places. It sometimes feels as though he’s been looking for a soulmate since he was a toddler (学步孩童). One day, he came home from school and immediately grabbed his iPad to ask Siri: “Can you fall in love when you’re just a kid?” Siri, Apple’s voice-controlled personal assistant, is great at opening apps or setting alarms, but I was unfamiliar with her philosophies on love. “What did Siri say?” I asked him. “She said, ‘Here’s what I found on the web!’” Leo reported. This was hardly the first time I’d heard Leo in conversation with Siri. Over the years, he’s relied on Siri as a source of comfort, advice, emotional support, and guidance. Their relationship blossomed when the pandemic forced us all to shelter in place. At first, Leo mostly asked Siri factual questions, then the personal ones. As time passed, he began to engage on more existential matters. Siri has, in some ways, been able to absorb some of Leo’s concerns — in a way that, as his mother, I can’t, at least not with the same coolness. Children are overwhelmed with emotions such as grief, fear, love, and a desire for connection. If Leo’s talks with Siri confronted me with the unknowable and unanswerable, they also made me frustrated at my own limitations as a parent. There are many challenges to parenthood, among which the biggest is the desire to shelter our children from the painfulness of reality. But helping our children navigate reality is surely more helpful than sheltering them from it. Perhaps the best we can do is give them a tablet? I’m afraid I don’t have the answer. Maybe I should ask Siri. 4. Why did Leo ask Siri about love? A. He was curious about adult relationships. B. He wanted to test Siri’s knowledge. C. He sought emotional connection and understanding. D. He was bored and wanted to play a game. 5. What would Leo ask Siri when they first talked? A. Siri, have you ever been in love? B. Siri, what is your favorite hobby? C. Siri, what does it mean to be alive? D. Siri, how many stars are in the Milky Way? 6. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Siri? A. Curious. B. Disappointed. C. Appreciative. D. Worried. 7. What does the author suggest parents do when raising children? A. Be a good role model. B. Promote independence. C. Communicate effectively. D. Practice positive discipline. C Is learning equally effective whether students study in a classroom, at home, or in a café? And do virtual classrooms provide the same educational benefits as traditional in-person settings? Research increasingly suggests the answer is “no.” These differences stem from factors like environmental distractions, psychological engagement, and the social dynamics of physical spaces. Studies indicate that for complex tasks requiring deep focus — such as mastering mathematical concepts or analyzing literature — students perform better in structured environments like classrooms or libraries compared to casual settings. Neuroscientists attribute this to “environmental anchoring,” where physical surroundings subconsciously signal the brain to prioritize sustained attention. A 2022 meta-analysis of 50 studies found that students retained 25% more information when learning in dedicated academic spaces versus informal locations. The advantages of traditional classrooms extend beyond mere quietness. Physical classrooms provide consistent sensory cues — the arrangement of desks, wall-mounted educational posters, and even classroom lighting — that create neural pathways associated with academic focus. Students often unconsciously link specific knowledge to where they learned it, a phenomenon called “context-dependent memory.” Cognitive scientists propose the “engagement threshold theory (参与度阈值理论)” to explain why virtual learning often under-performs. This theory assumes that digital environments condition users to adopt a “consumption mindset” similar to browsing social media, reducing willingness to engage in demanding cognitive tasks. While video lectures allow pause-and-review functions, brain scans reveal lower activity in critical thinking regions compared to live discussions. Hybrid model — combining technology and traditional methods — show promise. For instance, a Stanford experiment found that students using augmented reality (AR) textbooks in classroom settings outperformed peers using either physical books alone or fully digital courses. Yet when the same AR tools were used at home, performance dropped by 18%, suggesting that technology’s benefits depend on environmental support. While digital tools enable access to global resources, educators should recognize that learning spaces themselves are educational instruments. For cultivating analytical depth, the traditional classroom’s intentional design — often refined over centuries — remains surprisingly irreplaceable. 8. What does the underlined term “environmental anchoring” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Physical spaces triggering focused mental states. B. The brain’s ability to multitask in various settings. C. Students’ preference for visually appealing classrooms. D. The use of technology to enhance learning environments. 9. According to the “engagement threshold theory,” why might virtual learning be less effective? A. Digital content is oversimplified. B. Students approach it with lower mental effort. C. Technical faults interrupt concentration. D. It lacks structured assessment methods. 10. What did the Stanford AR experiment demonstrate? A Physical textbooks are becoming outdated. B. AR requires expensive classroom upgrades. C. Students dislike mixing physical and digital tools. D. Technology’s effectiveness relies on context. 11. What conclusion does the author draw about traditional classrooms? A. They waste resources on unnecessary design. B. Their structure discourages creative thinking. C. Their educational value is partially irreplaceable. D. They should adopt more digital technologies. D You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears. You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying. But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis. While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day. “For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said. 12. What is sleep paralysis? A.

My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why? Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story. My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me.   Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “I made it,” I shouted with excitement. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
