By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts hub, showcasing his series titled Dispositions, charcoal sketches of the human body as a metaphor for his own transformation during adolescence. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition (评审展览) where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection stimulates his creation. “There was a void in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, Nalin founded in 2023 Little ‘EGG Gallery, a commercial studio specially for underage artists. The gallery, which is now profitable enough to break even, charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talents by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, Ontario College of Art and Design University professor and artist David Griffin stumbled upon the gallery while taking a casual walk with his wife in their neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Nalin’s own work was on the walls. Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to provide a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” A connection was formed, and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. 24. What mainly drove Nalin to start Little EGG Gallery? A. The support of his parents. B. The desire to create his own studio. C. The wish to offer young artists chances. D. The approval from the local community. 25. What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Withdrew from. B. Came across. C. Looked around. D. Headed for. 26. Which of the following best describes Nalin Kamat? A. Patient and humble. B. Determined and sympathetic. C. Competitive and cooperative. D. Creative and devoted. 27 What can we learn from David Griffin’s words? A. Nalin’s uniqueness impressed him a lot. B. Nalin’s idea received wide recognition. C. Nalin’s platform boosted young artists’ creativity. D. Nalin’s efforts brought about the neighborhood unity. C While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 28. What can we learn about artful thinking? A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains. C. It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D. It helps promote high-tech machinery. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Benefits of artful intelligence. B. Mind-body awareness in thinking. C. Significance of being mindful. D. Social interaction through movements. 30. What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A. Enhance the flexibility of attention. B. Adapt to the rise of AI. C. Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D. Improve the levels of focus. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B. Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI D In popular culture, neurosurgeons are usually presented in one of two ways: either as highly skilled yet proud experts or as mad scientists. But these portrayals miss much of what modern neurosurgery is, argues Theodore Schwartz, a neurosurgeon and professor at Weill Cornell Medicine. “Gray Matters”, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain, surgery, from seemingly rough emergency treatments for traumatic injuries to high-precision surgeries to implant electrodes that provide relief from obsessive compulsive disorder (多动症). For each, Dr Schwartz skillfully combines explanations of procedures with persona and historical anecdotes and-real-life case studies. The book, like a page-turner, offers a satisfying and varied insight into a fascinating profession. To the outsiders, the details of surgeries are bloody. But in Dr Schwartz’s telling, the impact of these horrible procedures on patients and their families is dramatic and touching. Most of the book documents the history and practicalities of brain surgery, starting in the early 20th century when every procedure was a journey into the unknown. Now, a century later, surgeons have precise maps of patients’ brains thanks to MRI and CAT scans, and are equipped with high-tech kit to make their work more accurate and less invasive. Dr Schwartz is most interesting when he chews on where his field intersects with society. What does a neurosurgeon think should be done about head injury in sports? Not that much, it turns out. As long as athletes are aware of the risks and are appropriately compensated, they should be allowed to hit their heads together if they wish. “Gray Matters” also argues against the conception of free will, using evidence from scientific studies. The brain is increasingly at the centre of the tech world. One of Elon Musk’s companies, Neuralink, is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals, allowing paralysed patients to control a computer cursor (光标). Meanwhile, a desire to improve the artificial “brains” powering artificial-intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones. 32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To brief the readers on the book. B. To detail the work of Dr Schwartz C. To criticize the popular portrayals of neurosurgeons. D. To give background information about neurosurgery. 33. What’s Dr Schwartz’s attitude to athletes playing sports despite head injury? A. Opposed. B. Dismissive. C. Indifferent. D. Favourable. 34. Why is Elon Musk’s Neuralink mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the development of brain implants. B. To present how inspiration is drawn from real brains for AI. C. To show the increasing cooperation between neuroscience and technology. D. To praise Neuralink’s efforts being made to develop complicated brain implants. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Human Brains: The Mysteries of Neurosurgery B. Gray Matters: A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery C. Dr. Schwartz: The Remarkable Writer of Gray Matters D. Neurosurgery: From Popular Myths to High-Tech Innovations 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。 Time capsules are not only fun to create but also become treasures when opened years later. ____36____ By following these key steps, you can ensure your capsule preserves memories effectively for its future audience — whether yourself, family, or strangers. ____37____ Tailor contents to who will open it. For yourself, select personal reminders like daily-use earbuds, an old key, or a favorite takeout menu. For children or grandchildren, combine significant family items (e. g., wedding invitations) with era-defining objects, such as current technology, to showcase both personal and historical context. ____38____ For the far future discoverers, focus on the era you are in. Things that may seem to be of little value now may fascinate someone in 100 years. Pick an appropriate container to use for your time capsule. Use a shoebox or old suitcase for short-term, indoor storage. These are portable and convenient. ____39____ If you plan to place the capsule outdoors or bury it, select a container that is likely to survive, like a commercial or home-built stainless steel, or PVC plastic capsule. Fasten the capsule tightly and store it appropriately. While burial may not be the best choice, it is the classic way to store your capsule. One positive side is that it is less likely to be removed or opened early. ____40____ Indoor time capsules are a secure alternative. While more inviting to open, consider this approach for shorter term storage. With thoughtful preparation, your time capsule will bridge generations and spark curiosity in the future. A. Prioritize including items that are small and easy to store. B. However, such materials may be destroyed by fire or floods. C. Choose items to include in your time capsule for your audience. D. On the other hand, buried capsules risks exposure to groundwater. E. The key lies in balancing emotional value with practical preservation. F. A metal lockbox, though heavier, provides better security than plastic containers. G. For example, a smartphone today can demonstrate our tech trends to future generations. 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。 It was mid-February, and the mountain air remained bitterly cold.

Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child. At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children — who could blow the biggest bubble-gum (泡泡糖) bubble, who could hop the longest on one leg. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I threw myself into the contests. The grand finale, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box. The judge gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups (挥臂动作), but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and fluttered (飘动) to the ground a few inches in front of them. The crowd roared with laughter, and being 13, I didn’t like adults laughing at us. So it made me angry to see the kids throwing harder when the handkerchief always opened, caught the air and died. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least farther than the others, and when they separated, people might not notice a small rock landing in the grass. I had a good chance of getting away with it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. What I really wanted to do was to show them that a kid could beat them at their own game. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! But the question was how. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。Here are your shirts, coats and trousers.

W: Oh, I didn’t notice that. M: Using gestures to express what you’re thinking is commonplace in some countries, but a gesture can mean different things in different countries. For instance, shaking your head mostly means “no”, but in other countries it can mean the opposite. So the question is: In which country does shaking your head mean “yes”? Greece, Japan or Bulgaria? W: Umm … No idea. Maybe Bulgaria? But I do know Indians shake their heads to mean lots of things. That goes completely over my head. M: You’ve hit it this time. We need to be careful to avoid offense when greeting people from other cultures with gestures.

By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts hub, showcasing his series titled Dispositions, charcoal sketches of the human body as a metaphor for his own transformation during adolescence. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition (评审展览), where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection stimulates his creation. “There was a void in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, Nalin founded in 2023 Little ‘EGG Gallery, a commercial studio specially for underage artists. The gallery, which is now profitable enough to break even, charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talents by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, Ontario College of Art and Design University professor and artist David Griffin stumbled upon the gallery while taking a casual walk with his wife in their neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Nalin’s own work was on the walls. Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to provide a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” A connection was formed, and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. 24. What mainly drove Nalin to start Little EGG Gallery? A. The support of his parents. B. The desire to create his own studio. C. The wish to offer young artists chances. D. The approval from the local community. 25. What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Withdrew from. B. Came across. C. Looked around. D. Headed for. 26. Which of the following best describes Nalin Kamat? A. Patient and humble. B. Determined and sympathetic. C. Competitive and cooperative. D. Creative and devoted. 27. What can we learn from David Griffin’s words? A. Nalin’s uniqueness impressed him a lot. B. Nalin’s idea received wide recognition. C. Nalin’s platform boosted young artists’ creativity. D. Nalin’s efforts brought about the neighborhood unity. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Nalin Kamat创立Little EGG Gallery为年轻艺术家提供展示机会的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““There was a void in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. (“艺术界存在一个空白，我想如果我能为更多年轻艺术家提供机会，那将非常酷，”现年15岁的Nalin说)”可知，为年轻艺术家提供机会的愿望驱使Nalin创办了Little EGG Gallery。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Not long after opening, Ontario College of Art and Design University professor and artist David Griffin stumbled upon the gallery while taking a casual walk with his wife in their neighbourhood. (开业不久，安大略艺术设计大学教授兼艺术家David Griffin在与妻子在附近散步时stumbled upon这个画廊)”可知，David Griffin和妻子在附近散步，推测他们是偶然发现了这个画廊，划线短语stumbled upon意为“偶然发现”，与Came across意思相近。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist. (当Nalin Kamat 13岁时，这位多伦多少年就已经踏上了成为一名职业艺术家的道路)”以及第三段“With the support of his parents, Nalin founded in 2023 Little ‘EGG Gallery, a commercial studio specially for underage artists.(在父母的支持下，Nalin于2023年创立了Little ‘EGG Gallery，这是一家专门为未成年艺术家打造的商业工作室)”可知，他13岁就踏上了成为一名职业艺术家的道路，并于2023年创办画廊为年轻艺术家提供机会，由此可推知，Nalin Kamat是富有创造力和奉献精神的。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to provide a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” (在与Nalin会面后，Griffin表示，他明白自己正在与一位特别的人交谈：“一位强大的年轻艺术家，他有一个非常好的想法，那就是为当地社区提供一个展示年轻人轻松、自然天赋的空间。”)”可知，David Griffin认为Nalin是特别的，是强大的年轻艺术家，并且有很好的想法，为年轻艺术家提供展示的机会，由此可推知，Nalin的独特性给David Griffin留下了深刻印象。故选A。 C While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 28. What can we learn about artful thinking? A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains. C. It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D. It helps promote high-tech machinery. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Benefits of artful intelligence. B. Mind-body awareness in thinking. C. Significance of being mindful. D. Social interaction through movements. 30. What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A. Enhance the flexibility of attention. B. Adapt to the rise of AI. C Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D. Improve the levels of focus. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B. Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在AI时代正念思维对保持人性的重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.(巧妙思考的哲学是避免这种情况的好方法。巧妙思考意味着不仅要用大脑，还要用手、眼睛、耳朵以及情感来解决问题。这种方法利用了我们身体中分布但常常未被利用的认知资源)”可知，巧妙思考能防止我们过度依赖人工智能。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world.(改变我们的思维方式是一项艰苦的工作。它始于正念练习。获取巧妙智慧需要留意我们如何用身体思考，如何用四肢、器官和情感来理解世界)”可知，第三段主要讲了思考中的身心意识。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus.(如果你想在这个充满人工智能的世界中找到更多的自由，提高你自觉地在不同物体或注意力层次之间转移注意力的能力)”可推知，作者建议我们在充满人工智能的世界里增强注意力的灵活性。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”(巧妙思考需要努力保持正念，以确保我们所做的，以及我们希望通过使用这些技术工具实现的目标，不会削弱我们的人性。正如一行禅师所说：“正念生活是一门艺术，我们每个人都必须训练成为艺术家。”)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要论述了在人工智能时代，保持正念的重要性，它能让我们保持人性，不被技术所吞噬。D选项“正念让我们在人工智能时代保持人性”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D In popular culture, neurosurgeons are usually presented in one of two ways: either as highly skilled yet proud experts or as mad scientists. But these portrayals miss much of what modern neurosurgery is, argues Theodore Schwartz, a neurosurgeon and professor at Weill Cornell Medicine. “Gray Matters”, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain, surgery, from seemingly rough emergency treatments for traumatic injuries to high-precision surgeries to implant electrodes that provide relief from obsessive compulsive disorder (多动症). For each, Dr Schwartz skillfully combines explanations of procedures with persona and historical anecdotes and-real-life case studies. The book, like a page-turner, offers a satisfying and varied insight into a fascinating profession. To the outsiders, the details of surgeries are bloody. But in Dr Schwartz’s telling, the impact of these horrible procedures on patients and their families is dramatic and touching. Most of the book documents the history and practicalities of brain surgery, starting in the early 20th century when every procedure was a journey into the unknown. Now, a century later, surgeons have precise maps of patients’ brains thanks to MRI and CAT scans, and are equipped with high-tech kit to make their work more accurate and less invasive. Dr Schwartz is most interesting when he chews on where his field intersects with society. What does a neurosurgeon think should be done about head injury in sports? Not that much, it turns out. As long as athletes are aware of the risks and are appropriately compensated, they should be allowed to hit their heads together if they wish. “Gray Matters” also argues against the conception of free will, using evidence from scientific studies. The brain is increasingly at the centre of the tech world. One of Elon Musk’s companies, Neuralink, is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals, allowing paralysed patients to control a computer cursor (光标). Meanwhile, a desire to improve the artificial “brains” powering artificial-intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones. 32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To brief the readers on the book. B. To detail the work of Dr Schwartz C. To criticize the popular portrayals of neurosurgeons. D. To give background information about neurosurgery. 33. What’s Dr Schwartz’s attitude to athletes playing sports despite head injury? A. Opposed. B. Dismissive. C. Indifferent. D. Favourable. 34. Why is Elon Musk’s Neuralink mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the development of brain implants. B. To present how inspiration is drawn from real brains for AI. C. To show the increasing cooperation between neuroscience and technology. D. To praise Neuralink’s efforts being made to develop complicated brain implants. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Human Brains: The Mysteries of Neurosurgery B. Gray Matters: A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery C.

One of Elon Musk’s companies, Neuralink, is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals, allowing paralysed patients to control a computer cursor (光标). Meanwhile, a desire to improve the artificial ‘brains’ powering artificial intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones.(大脑越来越成为科技世界的中心。埃隆·马斯克的一家公司Neuralink正试图开发一种复杂的脑植入物，它可以记录和传输神经信号，使瘫痪患者能够控制电脑光标。与此同时，提高驱动人工智能软件的人造‘大脑’的能力的愿望正驱使许多技术人员从真实大脑中寻找灵感)”可知，提到Neuralink是为了展示神经科学和科技之间日益增长的合作。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段“‘Gray Matters’, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain surgery(《灰质》是一本引人入胜的新书，它介绍了不同类型的脑部手术)”以及后文对书中关于现代神经外科手术相关内容的介绍，可知文章主要围绕《灰质》一书展开，探讨其对现代神经外科手术的深入剖析。故B项“Gray Matters: A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery(《灰质》：深入探索现代神经外科手术)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选B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。 Time capsules are not only fun to create but also become treasures when opened years later. ____36____ By following these key steps, you can ensure your capsule preserves memories effectively for its future audience — whether yourself, family, or strangers. ____37____ Tailor contents to who will open it. For yourself, select personal reminders like daily-use earbuds, an old key, or a favorite takeout menu. For children or grandchildren, combine significant family items (e. g., wedding invitations) with era-defining objects, such as current technology, to showcase both personal and historical context. ____38____ For the far future discoverers, focus on the era you are in. Things that may seem to be of little value now may fascinate someone in 100 years. Pick an appropriate container to use for your time capsule. Use a shoebox or old suitcase for short-term, indoor storage. These are portable and convenient. ____39____ If you plan to place the capsule outdoors or bury it, select a container that is likely to survive, like a commercial or home-built stainless steel, or PVC plastic capsule. Fasten the capsule tightly and store it appropriately. While burial may not be the best choice, it is the classic way to store your capsule. One positive side is that it is less likely to be removed or opened early. ____40____ Indoor time capsules are a secure alternative. While more inviting to open, consider this approach for shorter term storage. With thoughtful preparation, your time capsule will bridge generations and spark curiosity in the future. A. Prioritize including items that are small and easy to store. B. However, such materials may be destroyed by fire or floods. C. Choose items to include in your time capsule for your audience. D. On the other hand, buried capsules risks exposure to groundwater. E. The key lies in balancing emotional value with practical preservation. F. A metal lockbox, though heavier, provides better security than plastic containers. G. For example, a smartphone today can demonstrate our tech trends to future generations. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. G 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕如何制作时间胶囊展开，提供了详细的步骤和建议，旨在指导读者有效地创建和保存时间胶囊，以便在未来打开时能够成为珍贵的回忆或宝藏。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Time capsules are not only fun to create but also become treasures when opened years later.(时间胶囊不仅制作起来很有趣，而且多年后打开时也会成为宝藏。)”可知，上文提到时间胶囊不仅有趣而且日后打开会成为珍宝；而下文则指出“By following these key steps, you can ensure your capsule preserves memories effectively for its future audience — whether yourself, family, or strangers.(通过遵循以下关键步骤，你可以确保你的时间胶囊能有效地为未来的受众——无论是你自己、家人还是陌生人——保存记忆。)”则指出通过一些关键步骤能有效保存记忆。选项E“The key lies in balancing emotional value with practical preservation.(关键在于平衡情感价值与实际的保存效果。)”起到承上启下的作用，说明制作时间胶囊的关键要点，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Tailor contents to who will open it. For yourself, select personal reminders like daily-use earbuds, an old key, or a favorite takeout menu. For children or grandchildren, combine significant family items (e. g., wedding invitations) with era-defining objects, such as current technology, to showcase both personal and historical context.(根据打开时间胶囊的人来挑选里面的物品。如果你是为自己制作，那就选择一些能勾起个人回忆的物品，比如日常使用的耳塞、一把旧钥匙，或者一份你最喜欢的外卖菜单。如果你是为孩子或孙子孙女制作，那就把重要的家庭物品（比如婚礼请柬）和具有时代特征的物品结合起来，比如当下的科技产品，以此来展示个人记忆和历史背景。)”可知，下文围绕根据不同的打开对象（自己、子孙、未来的发现者）选择放入时间胶囊的物品展开。选项C“Choose items to include in your time capsule for your audience.(为你的时间胶囊选择适合目标受众的物品放入其中。)”作为该段主旨句，引出下文对不同受众应选物品的阐述，符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“For children or grandchildren, combine significant family items (e. g., wedding invitations) with era-defining objects, such as current technology, to showcase both personal and historical context.(如果你是为孩子或孙子孙女制作，那就把重要的家庭物品（比如婚礼请柬）和具有时代特征的物品结合起来，比如当下的科技产品，以此来展示个人记忆和历史背景。)”可知，上文提到为子孙选择物品时要结合重要家庭物品和具有时代特征的物品。选项G“For example, a smartphone today can demonstrate our tech trends to future generations.(例如，如今的一部智能手机可以向子孙后代展示我们的科技发展趋势。)”举例说明了具有时代特征的物品（智能手机）对子孙了解时代的作用，符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Use a shoebox or old suitcase for short-term, indoor storage. These are portable and convenient.(如果是短期室内存放，可以使用鞋盒或旧手提箱。这些容器便于携带且很方便。)”可知，上文提到短期室内存储可用鞋盒或旧手提箱，这些便携方便；而下文“If you plan to place the capsule outdoors or bury it, select a container that is likely to survive, like a commercial or home-built stainless steel, or PVC plastic capsule.(如果你打算把时间胶囊放置在室外或埋在地下，那就选择一个有可能经受住时间考验的容器，比如商用的或自制的不锈钢容器，或者聚氯乙烯塑料容器。)”则指出如果计划室外放置或掩埋要选更能保存的容器。选项B“However, such materials may be destroyed by fire or floods.(然而，这些材料可能会被火灾或洪水毁坏。)”指出了鞋盒或旧手提箱这类材料的缺点，起到转折作用，符合语境。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据上文“While burial may not be the best choice, it is the classic way to store your capsule. One positive side is that it is less likely to be removed or opened early.(虽然埋葬可能不是最好的选择，但它是存放时间胶囊的经典方式。这样做的一个好处是，它不太可能被提前取出或打开。)”可知，埋葬时间胶囊虽然经典且不太可能被提前打开，但有其弊端。选项D“On the other hand, buried capsules risks exposure to groundwater.(另一方面，埋藏的时间胶囊有暴露于地下水的风险。)”进一步阐述了埋葬这种方式存在的风险，与前文构成并列，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。 It was mid-February, and the mountain air remained bitterly cold.

It’s an internet buzzword ____56____ (coin) by a foreign blogger named Baobaoxiong during his visit to the Great Wall in Beijing. The phrase questions ____57____ a place has the fashionable atmosphere of a big city. Millions of foreigners, like Baobaoxiong, are now exploring China, and their travel vlogs ____58____ (go) viral online recently. This trend is partly due to the 72-hour and 144-hour visa-free transit (过 境) policy, ____59____ allows travelers from 54 countries to explore China for up to six days without needing a visa if they have a valid travel document ____60____ a connecting ticket for departure within 72 or 144 hours. Aiming for high-level opening-up, this policy has helped boost tourism in China. When first ____61____ (introduce) in 2013, the visa-free transit policy only applied ____62____ seven big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and allowed just 72 hours of stay. Now, it covers 41 exit-entry ports across 19 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities (直 辖 市), expanding to 144 hours. China has also made it ____63____ (easy) for foreign visitors by improving mobile payment accessibility and the visa application process. Seeing is believing. The policy not only brings convenience for foreign travelers but also invites them ____64____ (experience) everyday life in China. It’s a great chance for them to rethink Western media’ s stereotypical (刻板的) ____65____ (describe) of China. 【答案】56. coined 57. whether##if 58. have gone##have been going 59. which 60. and 61. introduced 62. to 63. easier 64. to experience 65. description## descriptions 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕网络热词“city bu city”展开，介绍了当下越来越多外国博主探访中国并发布旅行视频走红的现象并解释了其原因。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一位名叫Baobaoxiong的外国博主在北京游览长城时创造的一个网络热词。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词buzzword，coin与buzzword之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式。故填coined。 【57题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：这个短语是用来询问一个地方是否具备大城市的时尚氛围。空处引导宾语从句，从句成分完整，表示“是否”，所以使用连接词whether/if引导。故填whether/if。 【58题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：如今，成千上万像Baobaoxiong一样的外国人都在游历中国，他们的旅行视频博客近来也走红于网络。空处为谓语动词，根据时间状语recently可知，此处可使用现在完成时，表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响，也可使用现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去开始一直持续到现在，还有可能持续下去，且主语为复数名词vlogs，所以助动词使用have。故填have gone/have been going。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这一趋势的部分原因源于72小时及144小时过境免签政策，该政策规定，持有有效旅行证件且有72或144小时内离境的联程机票时，来自54个国家的游客可免签在中国停留最长六天进行游览。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词policy，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以使用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：这一趋势的部分原因源于72小时及144小时过境免签政策，该政策规定，持有有效旅行证件且有72或144小时内离境的联程机票时，来自54个国家的游客可免签在中国停留最长六天进行游览。a valid travel document（有效旅行证件）和 a connecting ticket（联程机票）是两个并列的名词短语，都是游客需要持有的条件，二者为并列关系，用 and 连接。故填and。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：72小时免签过境政策于2013年首次推出时，仅适用于北京和上海等7个大城市，且只允许停留72小时。本句是when引导的时间状语从句的省略结构，完整结构是When the policy was first introduced in 2013；当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且从句含be动词时，可省略从句的主语和be动词；the policy和introduce（出台、推行）是被动关系，故直接用过去分词introduced。故填introduced。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：该过境免签政策于2013年首次出台时，仅适用于北京、上海等7座大城市，且仅允许停留72小时。固定短语apply to意为“适用于”。故填to。 【63题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：中国还通过完善移动支付的普及度、优化签证申请流程，让外国游客的出行变得更加便捷。“make+it+adj+for sb to do”为固定句型，所以此处使用形容词形式，结合句意可知，此处表示“更加方便的”，所以使用形容词比较级形式。故填easier。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这项政策不仅为外国游客带来便利，也邀请他们亲身体验中国的日常生活。固定短语invite sb to do sth意为“邀请某人做某事”，所以此处为动词不定式形式作宾语补足语。故填to experience。 【65题详解】 考查名词。句意：这对他们而言，是重新审视西方媒体对中国的刻板描述的绝佳机会。空处作宾语，需填名词，describe的名词为description为不可数名词，也可用复数形式descriptions表示泛指。故填description(s)。 第四部分写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 66. 假定你是某国际学校学生李华。为了帮助师生放松身心，提升校园幸福感，你校打算设立一个“元气补给站” (A Refresh Corner) ，现向全体师生征求设计意见，请你写一篇短文，内容包括： (1) 描述你的设计； (2) 阐述设计理由。 注意： (1) 写作词数应80左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 A Refresh Corner on Campus ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A Refresh Corner on Campus To offer teachers and students a peaceful escape from heavy workload and academic pressure, “A Cozy Reading Haven” can be set up.

Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child. At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children — who could blow the biggest bubble-gum (泡泡糖) bubble, who could hop the longest on one leg. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I threw myself into the contests. The grand finale, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box. The judge gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups (挥臂动作), but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and fluttered (飘动) to the ground a few inches in front of them. The crowd roared with laughter, and being 13, I didn’t like adults laughing at us. So it made me angry to see the kids throwing harder when the handkerchief always opened, caught the air and died. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least farther than the others, and when they separated, people might not notice a small rock landing in the grass. I had a good chance of getting away with it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. What I really wanted to do was to show them that a kid could beat them at their own game. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! But the question was how. 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 was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me. I secretly tied knot after knot until it was the size of a little rock. When it was my turn, there were a dozen cloth handkerchiefs littering the ground. I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off into the trees approximately 60 feet away. The emcee stared at me, with narrowed eyes, shocked, and then ran to locate the balled handkerchief. Before the emcee found my handkerchief, a man said, “He must have cheated.” “It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结). “We didn’t say he couldn’t tie it.” The adults burst into applause and I felt proud and thrilled. But it was more than that. What I learned from this contest was the secret to creative thinking. If you want to maximize your brainpower, you can’t accept rules at face value. You should think deeply about the rules, use your imagination as much as possible, and be creative to do what the rules require, so that you can break the rules and be innovative. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一名大学教授，教导人们如何更有创造性地思考，如何更多地利用他们的脑力，作者一生的这种激情是在小时候的一次偶然的比赛中被唤醒的，作者回忆了那次比赛，那是一个扔手帕的比赛，谁扔得最远谁就赢，孩子们用力扔的时候手帕总是打开，秘诀不在于用力扔，而在于不让布张开，作者原本想在手帕里藏个石头，但是他不想作弊，他得让手帕像石头一样飞起来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我正在苦苦思索，突然想到一个好主意。”可知，第一段可描写作者的好主意是什么以及所取得的结果。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘这只是手帕，’法官说着举起手帕，解开了上面的结。”可知，第二段可描写作者的收获。 2.续写线索：打结——手帕飞得很远——主持人盯着作者——有人怀疑作者作弊——主持人解释只有手帕而已——观众鼓掌——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打结：tie knot after knot/kink knot after knot ②高速飞走：rocket off/fly away swiftly ③盯着：stare at/gaze at 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished ②兴奋的：thrilled/excited 【点睛】[高分句型1] When it was my turn, there were a dozen cloth handkerchiefs littering the ground.
