Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are. The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20) Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million. The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39) Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage. Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48) Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression. Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80) Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow. 1. When did Andrew Mellon get Raffaello Santi’s painting? A. In 1510. B. In 1659. C. In 1905. D. In 1930. 2. Which painting is exhibited in Gallery 39? A. Self-Portrait. B. The Annunciation. C. The Alba Madonna. D. Family of Saltimbanques. 3. What do the last two paintings have in common? A. They are completed in Paris. B. The characters appear very sad. C. They are painted by the same artist. D. They are finished late in the artist's career. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国国家艺术馆常年展出的四幅名画。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas, this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. (这幅画最初是在1510年左右画在木板上的，后来被转移到画布上，1930年安德鲁·梅隆从俄罗斯的冬宫艺术博物馆购买了这幅画。)”可知，安德鲁·梅隆是在1930年得到拉斐尔·桑蒂的画的。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段标题“The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39). (扬·范·艾克的《圣母领报》（39号展厅）)”可知，39号展厅展出的是《圣母领报》。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression. (这幅自画像是在伦勃朗经历了一段经济困难时期后创作的，他的面部表情明显流露出负担。)”和最后一段“Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. (毕加索的《杂技演员之家（母亲与孩子和小丑）》创作于1905年，当时这位年轻艺术家正在巴黎为获得认可而奋斗，画中杂技演员面无表情，象征着贫穷的艺术家下层阶级的不幸。)”可知，最后两幅画中的人物看起来都很悲伤。故选B。 B Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later. Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual. Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures. She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages. Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same. Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature. 4. What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate. 5. Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau? A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club. C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career. C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches. 7. What can we infer about Louisa from the text? A. She valued women’s rights. B. Little Men was her first work. C. Her mother was a philosopher. D. She lived in Pennsylvania all her life. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍19世纪美国著名作家路易莎·梅·奥尔科特的生平、教育背景、文学成就及对女性权利的关注。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later.(19世纪美国著名作家路易莎·梅·奥尔科特将写作既视为一种逃避方式，也作为……周遭世界的手段——她会写下家庭日常生活的细节，比如姐妹们早餐时的笑声或父亲深夜与朋友的讨论，之后将这些瞬间融入自己的故事中。)”可知，破折号后通过列举她记录家庭日常细节并融入作品的行为，解释了“chronicle”的含义，因此该词意为“记录”。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau.(路易莎在马萨诸塞州的波士顿和康科德长大，主要由父亲教育，并师从著名作家、诗人拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生以及颇具影响力的哲学家、博物学家亨利·戴维·梭罗接受额外课程。)”可知，作者提及这两位名人是为了说明路易莎的教育背景，体现其受教于知名学者的经历。故选D项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages. Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886), alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s.(她22岁时出版了《花寓言》，开启了自己的文学生涯。数年后，《医院速写》为她赢得了更广泛的积极认可，这部作品基于她内战期间担任护士时写给家人的信件。然而，正是《小妇人》的出版为她奠定了持久的文学声誉。这部成长小说最初于1868年和1869年分两卷出版，讲述了马奇家四姐妹——梅格、乔、贝丝和艾米的生活。该书是半自传体的，大量取材于路易莎自己的童年和青年时期。主角乔·马奇是路易莎本人的写照，她是一位独立的思想家和作家。这部小说极受欢迎，已被翻译成50多种语言。19世纪70年代至80年代期间，路易莎继续创作马奇家的故事，推出了《小绅士》（1871年）和《乔的男孩们》（1886年），同时还创作了许多其他小说和儿童故事。)”可知，该段完整梳理了路易莎从开启文学生涯、早期作品崭露头角，到代表作《小妇人》奠定声誉，再到后续持续创作的全过程，核心围绕其文学事业的发展展开。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same.(1879年，马萨诸塞州通过了一项允许女性在地方选举中投票的法律，之后她成为康科德首位登记投票的女性，并积极鼓励其他女性也这样做。)”可知，路易莎积极参与女性投票权相关活动，鼓励女性行使权利，由此可推断她重视女性权利。故选A项。 C Experts say that the “7-38-55 Rule” can greatly help improve emotional understanding. While words carry meaning, they often cannot show the full emotional story. Imagining a friend asking, “Are you okay?” and you answering, “Yeah, I’m fine.” The words may sound comforting, but a flat voice and drooping (低垂的) shoulders say a lot more. We naturally interpret stops in speaking and body movements before we fully trust a message. This natural judgment occurs all the time—during quick talks in the hall, video calls, or first meetings. The 7-38-55 Rule describes this situation: only 7% of emotional meaning is carried through words, 38% through tone (语调) of voice, and 55% through body language. The rule came from the research by expert Albert Mehrabian in the 1960s. He studied how people decide if someone is likable when spoken and bodily signals don’t match. His tests, which used mixed-up facial expressions and recorded words, showed that people depend more on tone and facial expressions than on the actual words. As Mehrabian pointed out, when spoken and bodily signals don’t agree, the latter are likely to be more powerful. This idea becomes especially important in emotionally unclear situations. For example, saying “Great job” in a flat voice while you look at your phone weakens the message. On the other hand, sincere eye contact and a warm tone make the praise believable. Similarly, in social situations, someone using awkward words but smiling and bending forward can still leave a good impression. Digital communication shows the weakness of relying only on words. Text takes away 93% of the emotional meaning, which is why a simple “Sure” can be misinterpreted. People try to make up for this by using more emojis (表情), yet misunderstandings still occur often. Even video calls, with their technical limitations, often fail to fully express our intended meaning. In work environments, body signals strongly affect teamwork and leadership. Voice alone accounts for nearly 40% of how your attitude is seen by others. A calm tone and an open body position build trust better than data alone. Similarly, in personal interactions, gestures and eye contact can either build or block connection. 8. What did Mehrabian’s research study? A. What makes a good talk. B. How words carry meaning. C. How to use body language. D. How people judge likability. 9. What does paragraph 4 suggest about emotional expression? A. Phone use improves message trust. B. Tone and body language matter more. C. Words are enough to show true feelings. D. Awkward words always ruin impressions. 10. What can we learn about video calls from paragraph 5? A. They fully show emotions. B. They take less time than texts. C. They have no technical limits. D. They can’t express our meaning well. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the 7-38-55 Rule? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“7-38-55法则”，即情绪表达中语言占7%、语调占38%、肢体语言占55%，并结合研究、实例说明该法则在不同场景中的应用价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The rule came from the research by expert Albert Mehrabian in the 1960s. He studied how people decide if someone is likable when spoken and bodily signals don’t match.(该法则源于专家阿尔伯特·梅拉比安在20世纪60年代的研究。他研究了当语言信号和身体信号不一致时，人们如何判断一个人是否可爱。)”可知，梅拉比安的研究核心是探讨人们在语言与身体信号冲突时，如何判断他人的可爱程度。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For example, saying “Great job” in a flat voice while you look at your phone weakens the message. On the other hand, sincere eye contact and a warm tone make the praise believable. Similarly, in social situations, someone using awkward words but smiling and bending forward can still leave a good impression.(例如，一边看手机一边用平淡的语气说“干得好”会削弱信息的可信度。另一方面，真诚的眼神交流和温暖的语调会让赞美变得可信。同样，在社交场合中，一个人即使言辞笨拙，但面带微笑、身体前倾，仍然能留下良好的印象。)”可知，该段通过正反实例对比，表明语调与肢体语言对情绪表达的影响比单纯的语言更重要。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Even video calls, with their technical limitations, often fail to fully express our intended meaning.(即使是视频通话，由于其技术限制，也常常无法完全表达我们的真实意图。)”可知，视频通话受技术限制，不能很好地传递人们的真实含义。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Experts say that the “7-38-55 Rule” can greatly help improve emotional understanding.(专家表示，“7-38-55法则”能极大帮助提升情绪理解能力。)”、第四段实例论证法则在情绪表达中的作用、第五段说明该法则解释了数字沟通的局限性、第六段强调其在工作和人际交往中的重要性，全文围绕法则的价值展开论述可知，作者对该法则持支持态度。故选B项。 D A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses that can automatically (自动地) adjust focus in real time. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜) . Although IXI’s glasses are not the first of this kind, they are a major improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting continuously and automatically according to where the wearer is looking. The battery inside is designed to last for two days and can be charged at night. The company also hopes the glasses will accommodate many different face shapes. The key technology relies on a special material called liquid crystals (晶体) in the lenses (镜片). Niko Eiden, the company leader, says, these crystals can be repositioned electrically, allowing the lenses to be freely adjusted. A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly. This adjustment occurs in just 0.2 seconds, faster than the human eye’s natural focusing speed. This new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions. Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses. 12. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By following time order. B. By listing detailed numbers. C. By making comparison. D. By explaining causes and effects. 13. What is the feature of IXI’s glasses? A. They have an eye-tracker inside. B. They fit only round faces. C. They need to be adjusted by hand. D. They use common lens materials. 14. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Vision correction products are popular. B. Designers have solved battery weight issues. C. The glasses aren’t ready for the market. D. The glasses’ system never stops working. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A new kind of smart glasses. B. Bifocals’ main problems in use. C. How to make self-adjusting glasses. D. Rules for vision correction products. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芬兰一家公司IXI研发的能自动实时调节焦距的智能眼镜及其特点、技术、面临的问题等。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Although IXI’s glasses are not the first of this kind, they are a major improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different.(虽然IXI的眼镜不是这类眼镜中的第一款，但它们是一个重大改进。十多年前，一家名为Adlens的公司制造的眼镜可以由佩戴者手动调节以满足他们的视力需求。然而，这是一次性设置。IXI的眼镜则不同)”可知，第二段通过将IXI的眼镜与十多年前Adlens公司制造的眼镜进行对比来展开叙述。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly.(一个内置的眼球追踪器和一个利用光测量距离的系统协同工作，以确定物体的距离并相应地调整镜片)”可知，IXI眼镜的特点是里面有眼球追踪器。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving.(即使有了这项令人兴奋的技术，在眼镜上市之前仍有一些问题需要解决。视力矫正产品有严格的医疗规定。设计师还需要在不使眼镜变重的情况下安装电池。此外，对于驾驶等活动还需要进行更多的现实世界测试)”可知，这种眼镜还未准备好上市。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses that can automatically (自动地) adjust focus in real time.(芬兰一家名为IXI的公司正在研发一种能够自动实时调节焦距的智能眼镜)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕IXI公司研发的这种新型智能眼镜展开介绍。故选A。 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。 Having a sense of humor means having the ability to let go and not take everything so seriously, and being able to laugh at life’s absurdities (荒谬).

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，短文讲述了德克萨斯州蓝橡树公园突遭山洪暴发，营地主人鲍勃·卡纳莱斯（Bob Canales）紧急通知露营者撤离，过程中试图救援被困在小岛上的约翰·伯吉斯（John Burgess）一家，虽因洪水汹涌未能立即成功，但展现了危机中的勇气与无奈的故事。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：瓜达卢佩河岸边排列着许多营地，露营者们正听着轻柔的河水声睡觉。A. dancing跳舞；B. sleeping睡觉；C. singing唱歌；D. listening听。根据前文“very quiet”和后文“at 4 am”的时间背景，露营者此时更可能在“睡觉”，故选B项。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但凌晨4点，一则警报传来：山洪即将暴发，所有人必须立即撤离。A. warning警报，警告；B. actress女演员；C. animal动物；D. car汽车。根据后文“A flash flood was coming and everyone had to get out”可知，这是紧急警报信息，故选A项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：收到消息后，营地主人鲍勃·卡纳莱斯穿过不断上涨的河水，敲露营者的门，试图叫醒每一个人。A. sending发送；B. memorizing记忆；C. ignoring忽视；D. receiving收到。根据后文“ran across the rising river and... on the campers’ doors,”可知，鲍勃是营地主人，应是“收到山洪警报”后才开始通知他人，故选D项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：收到消息后，营地主人鲍勃·卡纳莱斯穿过不断上涨的河水，敲露营者的门，试图叫醒每一个人。A. wrote写；B. sat坐；C. knocked敲；D. fell摔倒。根据后文“on the campers’ doors”可知，动作是“敲门”，故选C项。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：收到消息后，营地主人鲍勃·卡纳莱斯穿过不断上涨的河水，敲露营者的门，试图叫醒每一个人。A. wake叫醒；B. calm使平静；C. please取悦；D. welcome欢迎。根据前文“any camps lined up along the bank of the Guadalupe and the campers were...to the soft sounds of the river.”以及“But at 4 am”可知，提到时间是“凌晨4点”，露营者大概率在睡觉，“敲门”的目的是“叫醒”他们撤离，故选A项。 【26题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当露营者跑向地势更高的地方撤离时，卡纳莱斯在水中艰难前行，前往公园的小岛——约翰·伯吉斯一家被困在那里。A. cleaner更干净的；B. higher更高的；C. quieter更安静的；D. harder更坚硬的。根据常识可知，山洪暴发时，地势更高的地方是安全区域，故选B项。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：当露营者跑向地势更高的地方撤离时，卡纳莱斯在水中艰难前行，前往公园的小岛——约翰·伯吉斯一家被困在那里。A. discovered被发现；B. working工作；C. trapped把……困住；D. playing玩耍。根据前文“Canales struggled through water toward the park’s small island”可知，小岛被洪水包围，约翰一家无法撤离，即“被困”，用be trapped，故选C项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“水已经很深了，”卡纳莱斯回忆道。A. dirty脏的；B. peaceful平静的；C. clear清澈的；D. deep深的。根据后文“swept them nearly 100 feet downstream”提到约翰一家需被救援，且洪水能将人冲向下游，说明水位“深”，故选D项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“我能看到约翰·伯吉斯抱着孩子，洪水在他们周围环绕。于是我大喊：‘把孩子扔给我！’”A. bag包；B. camera相机；C. child孩子；D. dog狗。根据后文“Throw me the baby!”可知，“baby”对应“child”，是约翰一家中最需要优先保护的对象，故选C项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但约翰·伯吉斯拒绝了。A. cried哭；B. refused拒绝；C. escaped逃跑；D. apologized道歉。根据后文““I understood why he didn’t do it,” Canales continued”可知，卡纳莱斯解释“他为什么不这么做（扔孩子）”，说明约翰“拒绝”了扔孩子的提议，故选B项。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“要是孩子没能活下来怎么办？如果我没抓住孩子怎么办？”A. catch抓住；B. love爱；C. need需要；D. miss错过。根据上文“What if the baby didn’t make it?”可知，约翰担心“扔孩子”的过程中，卡纳莱斯无法“抓住”孩子，导致危险，“catch”（抓住）直接呼应“扔孩子”的动作，符合“安全担忧”的核心，故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：卡纳莱斯继续向前推进，试图靠得更近，但洪水把他们冲向下游近100英尺，之后约翰·伯吉斯抓住了一根树枝。A. pulled up停车；B. ran away逃跑；C. tripped over绊倒；D. pushed forward推进，向前走。根据后文“trying to get closer”可知，卡纳莱斯想救援约翰一家，因此“继续向前靠近”，故选D项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：卡纳莱斯继续向前推进，试图靠得更近，但洪水把他们冲向下游近100英尺，之后约翰·伯吉斯抓住了一根树枝。A. flood洪水；B. father父亲；C. owner主人；D. wind风。根据前文“A flash flood”可知，全文围绕“山洪暴发”展开，能将人冲向下游的是“洪水”，故选A项。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“他一直挥手并大喊求救，”卡纳莱斯说。A. laughing笑；B. complaining抱怨；C. waving挥手；D. thinking思考。根据后文“screaming for help”约翰被困且被洪水冲流，“挥手”是吸引他人注意、配合求救的动作，与“screaming for help”（大喊求救）并列，符合“紧急求救”的行为，故选C项。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“那一刻，我没办法帮助任何人，我感到非常难过。”A. confused困惑的；B. sad难过的；C. annoyed恼怒的；D. proud骄傲的。根据前文“there was nothing I could do to help anyone”可知，卡纳莱斯想救援却因洪水无法行动，内心应是“难过、无力”，故选B项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Agreeableness is a measure of how much one needs to be liked by others. The more agreeable he or she is, ____36____ more likely he or she is to be trusting and helpful, while disagreeable people are usually cold and unwilling ____37____ (cooperate). In an experiment ____38____ (carry) out by Malcolm Gladwell, participants were asked to look at a series of positive and negative (负面的) ____39____ (picture), spending as much time as they’d like with each image. Most people spent more time with the negative images, ____40____ the agreeable folks. The study showed that agreeable people liked pleasant things and tried to avoid negative experiences. But Malcolm Gladwell found that problems could come with such pleasantries He noticed that men ____41____ were considered agreeable earned 18% less than their ____42____ (nice) behaved coworkers. ____43____ (he) study also found that disagreeable women earned 5% more than agreeable women. “Usually, successful businessmen ____44____ (accompany) by disagreeableness,” Malcolm Gladwell argued. “For example, IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad doesn’t care about what you think of him. He just cares about ____45____ (sell) furniture.” 【答案】36. the 37. to cooperate 38. carried 39. pictures 40. except 41. who##that 42. less nicely 43. His 44. are accompanied 45. selling 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随和程度对人的行为、收入及事业成功的影响。 【36题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：一个人越随和，就越有可能值得信赖和乐于助人，而不随和的人通常冷漠且不愿合作。根据空前“The more agreeable he or she is”可知，空处需用“the+比较级，the+比较级”固定句型，表示“越……，越……”。故填the。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。be unwilling to do sth.为固定短语，表示“不愿意做某事”。故填to cooperate。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在一项由Malcolm Gladwell进行的实验中，参与者被要求看一系列正面和负面的图片，每张图片他们想花多少时间就花多少时间。本句已有谓语动词were asked，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词experiment，动词carry与名词experiment之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词carried作后置定语。故填carried。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意同上。picture为可数名词，a series of后接可数名词复数形式，表示“一系列……”。故填pictures。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：大多数人花更多的时间看负面图片，除了随和的人。根据空前“Most people spent more time with the negative images”和空后“the agreeable folks.”可知，此处表示除了随和的人，大多数人花更多的时间看负面图片，所以空处需用介词except，表示“除了……之外”。故填except。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他注意到，被认为随和的男性比行为不那么好的同事少挣18%。空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是men，指人，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词who/that引导定语从句。故填who/that。 【42题详解】 考查副词比较级。句意：他注意到，被认为随和的男性比表现得不那么友好的同事收入低18%。此处修饰动词behaved，需用副词，结合前文“agreeable”及后文收入差异可知，此处表示“不那么友好地”，用nice的副词nicely的比较级less nicely。故填less nicely。 【43题详解】 考查形容词性物主代词。句意：他的研究还发现，不随和的女性比随和的女性多挣5%。空处需用形容词性物主代词his修饰名词study，表示“他的研究”，句首单词首字母需大写。故填His。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：Malcolm Gladwell认为：“通常，成功的商人都有不随和的一面。”根据语境可知，此处描述的是客观事实，所以空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态，主语是复数businessmen，与谓语动词accompany之间是被动关系，所以空处需用一般现在时态的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用are。故填are accompanied。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他只关心卖家具。care about doing sth.为固定短语，表示“关心做某事”，所以空处需用动名词selling作宾语。故填selling。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你班本周六将组织一次前往市郊“Green Hope有机农场”生态实践活动。请你给外教Steven写封邮件，邀请他参加。内容包括： 1. 活动安排：时间、地点与交通方式； 2. 活动内容：（1）学习可持续农业技术；（2）外教分享其家乡在环保或农业方面的经验。 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。 Dear Steven, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours truly, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Steven, I’m writing to invite you to join our class’s ecological practice activity this Saturday at Green Hope Organic Farm in the suburbs.

My heart sank. As the English class representative, I knew speaking was my weakest point — my voice always shook when I had to speak in public. Ms. Li noticed my anxiety. After class, she gently touched my shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Li Ming, we can prepare together. Your speech doesn’t need to be complicated — just share the true story of how you helped Grandma Zhang, your neighbor, learn English. That story itself is meaningful.” Indeed, over the past six months, I had visited Grandma Zhang every week to teach her simple English conversations. We started with “hello” and “thank you,” and now she could even introduce her hometown in English. There were so many warm moments from this experience worth sharing. From that day on, Ms. Li stayed after school to practice with me. She emphasized, “You need to show Grandma Zhang’s dedication to learning and her joy in making progress.” To help me express these emotions, she even had me bring a photo of Grandma Zhang and place it on the desk during practice. However, one week before the contest, during practice, I kept forgetting my lines. Frustration and self-doubt washed over me. “Teacher, maybe I really can’t do this…” “Remember the story you want to share,” Ms. Li said kindly. “It’s not about memorizing words — it’s about speaking from your heart. Think about how touched you were when Grandma Zhang first greeted you in English.” On the morning of the contest, I met Ms. Li at the classroom door. She handed me a notebook. On the first page, it read: “Believe in the power of your story — it deserves to be heard.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the notebook my teacher gave me, I took a deep breath and walked toward the school hall. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the judges announced the results, I couldn’t help but turn to look for Ms. Li. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Holding the notebook my teacher gave me, I took a deep breath and walked toward the school hall. My hands were cold, but I remembered Ms. Li’s words: “Speak from your heart.” When it was my turn, I stood up and began. As I talked about how Grandma Zhang smiled when she first said “Hello” in English, I felt calmer. I didn’t just recite — I shared something real. The audience listened quietly, and some even smiled, which gave me courage. I realized that this moment was not about winning, but about sharing a story that mattered to me. When the judges announced the results, I couldn’t help but turn to look for Ms. Li. She was clapping with tears in her eyes. I ran to her and said, “Thank you for believing in me.” It was then that I understood how much support can change a person. Even though I didn’t win first prize, I felt proud because I had faced my fear. This experience taught me that true success is not being perfect, but trying your best with a brave heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者作为英语课代表被老师鼓励参加英语演讲比赛，讲述自己帮助邻居张奶奶学习英语的故事，在比赛前作者紧张不安，老师给予鼓励，最终作者完成演讲的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“拿着老师给我的笔记本，我深吸一口气，朝学校礼堂走去。”可知，第一段可描写李明走向礼堂时的心理活动、回忆练习过程，并在演讲中逐渐放松，用真诚打动听众。 ②由第二段首句内容“当评委宣布结果时，我忍不住转身寻找李老师。”可知，第二段可描写得知结果后的情感释放，找到老师表达感谢，并意识到努力和信任带来的意义。 2.续写线索：拿笔记本——深呼吸——走进礼堂——开始演讲——回忆奶奶——真情流露——宣布结果——寻找老师——表达感激——内心成长 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ① 回忆：remember / think of / recall ② 给予我勇气：gave me courage/boost my confidence/strengthen my resolve ③ 感到自豪：feel proud/take pride in 情绪类 ① 眼里含着泪水：with tears in her eyes/with tearful eyes ②勇敢的：brave/courageous/bold 【点睛】【高分句型1】As I talked about how Grandma Zhang smiled when she first said “Hello” in English, I felt calmer.

Most of them are not on display at any one time, of course, but some famous pieces always are. The Alba Madonna, by Raffaello Santi (Gallery 20) Originally painted around 1510 on wood and later transferred to canvas (画布), this painting was bought from Russia’s Hermitage Art Museum in 1930 by Andrew Mellon. It is now worth more than $200 million. The Annunciation, by Jan van Eyck (Gallery 39) Another priceless piece is The Annunciation, which was painted by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck in the 15th century on wood and transferred to canvas. It was also purchased by Andrew Mellon in 1930 from Hermitage. Self-Portrait, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Gallery 48) Rembrandt van Rijn produced this masterpiece in 1659 in Amsterdam, where he was the leading artist of his time. It is just one of his self-portraits (画像) done throughout his life and they provide a record of the famous Dutch master. This self-portrait was done following a period of financial difficulty for Rembrandt, and the burden is obvious in his facial expression. Family of Saltimbanques, by Pablo Picasso (Gallery 80) Painted in 1905 in Paris during the young artist’s struggle for recognition, Pablo Picasso’s Family of Saltimbanques shows circus performers with blank faces to symbolize the unhappiness of the poor underclass of artists. It is one of the most important paintings of Picasso’s early career and an indication of the great success that would follow. 1. When did Andrew Mellon get Raffaello Santi’s painting? A. In 1510. B. In 1659. C. In 1905. D. In 1930. 2. Which painting is exhibited in Gallery 39? A. Self-Portrait. B. The Annunciation. C. The Alba Madonna. D. Family of Saltimbanques. 3. What do the last two paintings have in common? A. They are completed in Paris. B. The characters appear very sad. C. They are painted by the same artist. D. They are finished late in the artist's career. B Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later. Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual. Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures. She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages. Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) , alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same. Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature. 4. What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate. 5. Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau? A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club. C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career. C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches. 7. What can we infer about Louisa from the text? A. She valued women’s rights. B. Little Men was her first work. C. Her mother was a philosopher. D. She lived in Pennsylvania all her life. C Experts say that the “7-38-55 Rule” can greatly help improve emotional understanding. While words carry meaning, they often cannot show the full emotional story. Imagining a friend asking, “Are you okay?” and you answering, “Yeah, I’m fine.” The words may sound comforting, but a flat voice and drooping (低垂的) shoulders say a lot more. We naturally interpret stops in speaking and body movements before we fully trust a message. This natural judgment occurs all the time—during quick talks in the hall, video calls, or first meetings. The 7-38-55 Rule describes this situation: only 7% of emotional meaning is carried through words, 38% through tone (语调) of voice, and 55% through body language. The rule came from the research by expert Albert Mehrabian in the 1960s. He studied how people decide if someone is likable when spoken and bodily signals don’t match. His tests, which used mixed-up facial expressions and recorded words, showed that people depend more on tone and facial expressions than on the actual words. As Mehrabian pointed out, when spoken and bodily signals don’t agree, the latter are likely to be more powerful. This idea becomes especially important in emotionally unclear situations. For example, saying “Great job” in a flat voice while you look at your phone weakens the message. On the other hand, sincere eye contact and a warm tone make the praise believable. Similarly, in social situations, someone using awkward words but smiling and bending forward can still leave a good impression. Digital communication shows the weakness of relying only on words. Text takes away 93% of the emotional meaning, which is why a simple “Sure” can be misinterpreted. People try to make up for this by using more emojis (表情), yet misunderstandings still occur often. Even video calls, with their technical limitations, often fail to fully express our intended meaning. In work environments, body signals strongly affect teamwork and leadership. Voice alone accounts for nearly 40% of how your attitude is seen by others. A calm tone and an open body position build trust better than data alone. Similarly, in personal interactions, gestures and eye contact can either build or block connection. 8. What did Mehrabian’s research study? A. What makes a good talk. B. How words carry meaning. C. How to use body language. D. How people judge likability. 9. What does paragraph 4 suggest about emotional expression? A. Phone use improves message trust. B. Tone and body language matter more. C. Words are enough to show true feelings. D. Awkward words always ruin impressions. 10. What can we learn about video calls from paragraph 5? A. They fully show emotions. B. They take less time than texts. C. They have no technical limits. D. They can’t express our meaning well. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the 7-38-55 Rule? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. D A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses that can automatically (自动地) adjust focus in real time. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜) . Although IXI’s glasses are not the first of this kind, they are a major improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting continuously and automatically according to where the wearer is looking. The battery inside is designed to last for two days and can be charged at night. The company also hopes the glasses will accommodate many different face shapes. The key technology relies on a special material called liquid crystals (晶体) in the lenses (镜片). Niko Eiden, the company leader, says, these crystals can be repositioned electrically, allowing the lenses to be freely adjusted. A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly. This adjustment occurs in just 0.2 seconds, faster than the human eye’s natural focusing speed. This new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions. Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses. 12. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By following time order. B. By listing detailed numbers. C. By making comparison. D. By explaining causes and effects. 13. What is the feature of IXI’s glasses? A. They have an eye-tracker inside. B. They fit only round faces. C. They need to be adjusted by hand. D. They use common lens materials. 14. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Vision correction products are popular. B. Designers have solved battery weight issues. C. The glasses aren’t ready for the market. D. The glasses’ system never stops working. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A new kind of smart glasses. B. Bifocals’ main problems in use. C. How to make self-adjusting glasses. D. Rules for vision correction products. 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。 Having a sense of humor means having the ability to let go and not take everything so seriously, and being able to laugh at life’s absurdities (荒谬).

My heart sank. As the English class representative, I knew speaking was my weakest point — my voice always shook when I had to speak in public. Ms. Li noticed my anxiety. After class, she gently touched my shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Li Ming, we can prepare together. Your speech doesn’t need to be complicated — just share the true story of how you helped Grandma Zhang, your neighbor, learn English. That story itself is meaningful.” Indeed, over the past six months, I had visited Grandma Zhang every week to teach her simple English conversations. We started with “hello” and “thank you,” and now she could even introduce her hometown in English. There were so many warm moments from this experience worth sharing. From that day on, Ms. Li stayed after school to practice with me. She emphasized, “You need to show Grandma Zhang’s dedication to learning and her joy in making progress.” To help me express these emotions, she even had me bring a photo of Grandma Zhang and place it on the desk during practice. However, one week before the contest, during practice, I kept forgetting my lines. Frustration and self-doubt washed over me. “Teacher, maybe I really can’t do this…” “Remember the story you want to share,” Ms. Li said kindly. “It’s not about memorizing words — it’s about speaking from your heart. Think about how touched you were when Grandma Zhang first greeted you in English.” On the morning of the contest, I met Ms. Li at the classroom door. She handed me a notebook. On the first page, it read: “Believe in the power of your story — it deserves to be heard.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the notebook my teacher gave me, I took a deep breath and walked toward the school hall. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the judges announced the results, I couldn’t help but turn to look for Ms. Li. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
