Tourists can also choose to visit Culross to explore the ancient village.(此外，在洛蒙德湖周边的森林和公园里，你可能会看到鹿等动物在自然环境中生活。游客也可以选择参观卡尔罗斯，探索这座古老的村庄。)”可知，该内容属于第一天的行程安排，游客可能在第一天看到野生动物。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Day 3部分中的“In the evening, we’ll arrange local dishes in Stirling for you to experience traditional Scottish meals.(晚上，我们会在斯特林为您安排当地特色菜肴，让您体验传统的苏格兰美食。)”可知，游客可以在斯特林品尝当地美食。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Day 4部分中的“Our travel agency has specially arranged a highly popular live performance for you. You’ll get to experience Scotland’s unique literature as talented actors bring classic Scottish dramas to life on stage.(我们旅行社为您特别安排了一场非常受欢迎的现场表演。您将有机会体验苏格兰独特的文学魅力，才华横溢的演员们会将经典的苏格兰戏剧搬上舞台，焕发生机。)”可知，旅行社在爱丁堡为游客安排的活动是观看戏剧表演。故选A项。 B I never thought basketball would change my life until Coach Wilson took over our struggling high school team. We were disorganized, lazy, and known more for our losses than our skills. On his first day, Coach Wilson made us run until our legs burned, and when some players complained, he simply said, “Quit now, or commit to being better.” A few walked away, but the rest of us stayed — maybe because no one had ever expected much from us before. Our legs hurt, but we kept running. For the first time, someone saw we could be better — and that made us want to prove him right. Coach Wilson didn’t just care about basketball. He made us clean up our language and even taught us how to shake hands properly. He never let our bad habits slide. Over time, we stopped being selfish players and started becoming real teammates — learning to respect each other, move together, and play as one. One day, after a tiring practice, he gathered us around and told us a story: A man saw a butterfly struggling to break free from its cocoon (茧). Feeling sorry for it, he carefully cut the cocoon open. The butterfly came out easily — but its wings were weak, and it could never fly. The struggle was necessary to make it strong. The lesson stuck. Slowly, we improved — not just as players, but as students, as teammates, and as people. We started winning games, but more importantly, we carried ourselves differently. We finally made it to the championship game. However, in the fourth quarter, something unexpected happened: my knee took a hit. Pain shot up my leg as I hit the floor. Coach Wilson came to me, his face unreadable. “You’re done,” he said, signaling to the bench. “No.” The butterfly’s wings flashed in my mind. “Don’t ... don’t cut the cocoon open,” I said. Coach Wilson nodded with a mix of heartache and pride in his eyes. I stepped back onto the court. I still felt a dull pain in my knee. Yet for the first time, I stood taller-as if something powerful was lifting me up. 4. How did the author feel on Coach Wilson’s first day? A. Excited but nervous. B. Angry and disappointed. C. Challenged but motivated. D. Bored and unimpressed. 5. How did Coach Wilson strengthen team unity? A. By setting common goals. B. By sharing personal stories. C. By organizing group activities. D. By correcting players’ manners. 6. What happened to the author at the championship game? A. He led his team to victory. B. He showed his great talent. C. He thanked his coach sincerely. D. He played on despite the injury. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor. D. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一支散漫的球队在威尔逊教练的带领下，历经磨砺改掉陋习、凝聚成团队，并在成长中领悟“磨砺出力量”道理的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“On his first day, Coach Wilson made us run until our legs burned, and when some players complained, he simply said, “Quit now, or commit to being better.” A few walked away, but the rest of us stayed — maybe because no one had ever expected much from us before. Our legs hurt, but we kept running. For the first time, someone saw we could be better — and that made us want to prove him right. (威尔逊教练上任第一天就让我们一直跑到双腿发烫，有队员抱怨时，他只说了一句：“要么现在放弃，要么下定决心变得更强。”有几个人离开了，但我们其他人留了下来——或许是因为以前从来没人对我们抱有这么高的期望。我们的腿很疼，但还是坚持跑。第一次，有人相信我们可以变得更好——这让我们想要证明他是对的。)”可知，队员们虽然身体疲惫，但教练的期待让他们有了前进的动力，因此他们的感受是疲惫但积极的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Coach Wilson didn’t just care about basketball. He made us clean up our language and even taught us how to shake hands properly. He never let our bad habits slide. Over time, we stopped being selfish players and started becoming real teammates — learning to respect each other, move together, and play as one. (威尔逊教练不仅关心我们的球技，还在意我们的言行举止。他要求我们不说脏话，甚至教我们如何得体地握手。他从不容忍我们的坏习惯。久而久之，我们不再是只顾自己的球员，而是变成了真正的队友——学会了互相尊重、协同配合、团结作战。)”可知，教练通过纠正队员言行举止、约束坏习惯，让队员摒弃自私，学会团结协作，以此增强团队凝聚力。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“We finally made it to the championship game. However, in the fourth quarter, something unexpected happened: my knee took a hit. Pain shot up my leg as I hit the floor. Coach Wilson came to me, his face unreadable. “You’re done,” he said, signaling to the bench. “No.” The butterfly’s wings flashed in my mind. “Don’t ... don’t cut the cocoon open,” I said. (我们终于闯进了冠军赛。然而在第四节，我上篮落地时膝盖突然一阵剧痛，摔倒在地。威尔逊教练走到我身边，脸上看不出表情，随后就朝替补席做换人手势。“别换我。”蝴蝶破茧的画面在我脑海中闪过，我说道：“不要……不要剪开那个茧。”)”以及尾段中的“I still felt a dull pain in my knee. Yet for the first time, I stood taller-as if something powerful was lifting me up. (我的膝盖依然隐隐作痛。然而这一次，我站得更挺——仿佛有一股强大的力量在托举着我。)”可知，作者在冠军赛中膝盖受伤，但还是选择带伤继续比赛。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“One day, after a tiring practice, he gathered us around and told us a story: A man saw a butterfly struggling to break free from its cocoon (茧). Feeling sorry for it, he carefully cut the cocoon open. The butterfly came out easily — but its wings were weak, and it could never fly. The struggle was necessary to make it strong.( 一天，在一次疲惫的训练结束后，他把我们召集到一起，讲了一个故事：有个人看见一只蝴蝶正奋力从茧中挣脱出来。他心生怜悯，小心翼翼地把茧剪开。蝴蝶轻而易举地爬了出来——但它的翅膀却软弱无力，永远都无法飞翔了。原来，那段挣扎的过程是它变得强壮所必需的。)”以及全文中球队历经艰苦训练、最终蜕变成长的经历可知，文章核心是想传达“磨砺造就强者”的道理。选项C“平静的大海练不出熟练的水手”与文章主旨一致。故选C项。 C Like humans, lots of wild animals like to spend time together and socialize. Lionesses (母狮子) will eat together after hunting, and elephants usually live in herds (群)of between eight and 100. However, according to a collection of recent studies, things are different when some animals get older. One of these studies looked at house sparrows (家麻雀) on Lundy, a small island off the coast of Devon, England. The study focused on house sparrows because they can adjust their lifestyles successfully to suit different environments. The research revealed that older house sparrows have smaller social circles than younger ones. Dr Jamie Dunning, who was involved in the research, said, “It could be because older birds don’t need to make friends for the same reasons that younger ones do. In their early years, these birds depend on regular interactions to discover reliable food sources and identify potential threats. These constant social activities serve as their guide through the complexities of youth. Older birds already know these things, so they don’t need to socialize as much. They can choose carefully who they spend time with, sticking with their close friends and saving their energy for more important things.” Another study looked at a herd of red deer living on Rum, a Scottish island. As the females got older, they became less sociable. This wasn’t because they didn’t like the other deer, though. The research shows this behavior actually helps protect them from getting sick from a particular kind of worm. These worms are small creatures that live off other animals, sometimes making them ill. The deer are more likely to become weak as they get older, but they can reduce the risk of coming across the worm by spending less time with other deer. The collection of studies covered lots of species, including monkeys and insects. Overall, it showed how aging animals changed their social behavior, which affected their social networks. In the future, scientists will examine how the observed patterns of social behavior changes in aging animals might relate to similar processes in people. The research may lead to new approaches to supporting elderly populations by understanding when reduced sociability represents normal adaptation and when intervention might be beneficial. 8. Why did researchers choose house sparrows as subjects? A. They have a short life cycle. B. They have a stable population. C. They show great adaptability. D. They live in a closed ecosystem. 9. What did Dr Jamie Dunning imply about house sparrows? A. Their social circles keep expanding. B. Their social competition declines with age. C. Their social activities depend on the local environment. D. Their social interaction frequency is determined by survival skills. 10. Why are older red deer less sociable? A. To save energy. B. To secure food sources. C. To prevent infectious diseases. D. To avoid conflicts with younger deer. 11. What will scientists focus on next? A. Exploring human applications. B. Including diverse bird species. C. Tracking animal aging processes. D. Protecting old animals. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两项针对家麻雀和马鹿的研究，揭示了野生动物随着年龄增长社交圈会缩小的现象及背后原因，并指出未来研究将探索该现象与人类衰老过程的关联，为老年人群照护提供新思路。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study focused on house sparrows because they can adjust their lifestyles successfully to suit different environments. (这项研究以家麻雀为研究对象，因为它们能够成功地调整自己的生活方式以适应不同的环境。)”可知，研究人员选择家麻雀作为研究对象是因为它们具有很强的适应性。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It could be because older birds don’t need to make friends for the same reasons that younger ones do. In their early years, these birds depend on regular interactions to discover reliable food sources and identify potential threats. These constant social activities serve as their guide through the complexities of youth. Older birds already know these things, so they don’t need to socialize as much. They can choose carefully who they spend time with, sticking with their close friends and saving their energy for more important things. (这可能是因为年长的鸟类不需要像年幼的鸟类那样出于同样的原因去交朋友。在幼年时期，这些鸟类依靠频繁的互动来发现可靠的食物来源和识别潜在的威胁。这些持续的社交活动是它们在复杂的幼年时期的向导。年长的鸟类已经知道这些事情了，所以它们不需要那么多的社交活动。它们可以精心选择与谁共度时光，只和亲密的朋友待在一起，把精力节省下来用于更重要的事情。)”可知，Dr Jamie Dunning的话表明家麻雀的社交互动频率是生存所需的技能掌握程度决定的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The research shows this behavior actually helps protect them from getting sick from a particular kind of worm. These worms are small creatures that live off other animals, sometimes making them ill. The deer are more likely to become weak as they get older, but they can reduce the risk of coming across the worm by spending less time with other deer. (研究表明，这种行为实际上有助于保护它们免受一种特定蠕虫的感染。这些蠕虫是依靠其他动物生存的小型生物，有时会使这些动物生病。鹿随着年龄增长，身体更有可能变得虚弱，但它们可以通过减少与其他鹿相处的时间来降低遇到这种蠕虫的风险。)”可知，年长的雌性马鹿减少社交，是为了降低接触特定寄生虫的风险，从而预防感染相关疾病。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the future, scientists will examine how the observed patterns of social behavior changes in aging animals might relate to similar processes in people. The research may lead to new approaches to supporting elderly populations by understanding when reduced sociability represents normal adaptation and when intervention might be beneficial. (未来，科学家们将研究观察到的衰老动物社会行为模式的变化可能与人类类似过程存在何种关联。通过了解社交能力下降何时属于正常适应，何时进行干预可能有益，这项研究或许会催生出支持老年群体的新方法。)”可推知，科学家下一步的研究重点是探索动物衰老的社交行为模式在人类身上的应用，为老年人群照护提供新方法。故选A项。 D Foods that awaken a sense of nostalgia (怀旧)and comfort are important considerations in prepared meals aimed at older adults, according to new research. “We want to help the prepared food industry produce attractive, healthy meals for older adults,” said Carolyn Ross, a professor. “Malnutrition (营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it. We want to walk a line where food is tasty, convenient, and full of nutrients.” In a recently published paper, Ross and her team developed desirable and nutritious dairy-rich breakfasts and desserts for older adults. They asked 81 people, with an average age of 71, to taste two breakfasts and two desserts. Scientists then asked a series of questions about the meals and individual eating habits. Ross said, “We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.” “Studying food nostalgia is a newer field of food science,” Ross said, “but examining comfort food is a bit more established.” Preference can vary widely due to cultural differences. In this study, whenever people labeled something as a comfort food, they liked it more. One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.” The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.” 12. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Constant. B. Sudden. C. Common. D. Different. 13. What mainly affects people’s food choices according to the study? A. Food textures. B. Food ingredients. C. Individual habits. D. Personal memories. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Age influences people’s taste. B. Texture matters more than flavor. C. Less cheese makes food less comforting. D. Comfort food is linked to a sense of nostalgia. 15. What might Ross agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Old people should stick to their favorite texture. B. A variety of textures make food more appealing. C. Old people should avoid hard and crispy textures. D. Soft and creamy textures are important for people. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了针对老年人的预制餐中唤起怀旧和舒适感的食物的重要性及相关研究。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Malnutrition(营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it.(营养不良在60岁以上的人群中相当prevalent，因为虽然食物可能唾手可得，但如果他们不喜欢，就不会吃。)”可知，60岁以上的人群中，他们不喜欢吃的食物，他们就不会吃，所以在60岁以上的人群中营养不良很常见，所以prevalent意思是“常见的”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.(我们问人们在谈到食物和怀旧时会想到什么。许多回答都与一个人有关，比如他们祖母的饼干。如果一个产品唤起了更多的怀旧感，那么我们发现他们更喜欢它。)”可知，根据这项研究，个人记忆主要影响人们的食物选择。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.”(有一种成分通常被归为安慰食品类别：奶酪。“如果我们降低味道水平，参与者感知到的舒适度就会降低，”罗斯说。“当参与者说餐食中奶酪的味道不够时，与餐食相关的舒适度就会降低。”)”可知，奶酪越少，食物就越不令人舒适。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.”(研究团队还发现，食物的口感也十分重要，这并非一个全新的结论。罗斯说：“关键不在于某一种特定的口感，而在于口感的多样性。饮食中若能包含多种口感，既有酥脆、坚硬的质地，又有柔软、绵密的口感，就会格外受欢迎。对于那些或许无法再享用曾经喜爱的坚硬酥脆食物的老年人而言，尽可能保持饮食的口感多样性依然至关重要。”)”可知，罗斯认为各种各样的口感使食物更有吸引力。故选B。 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。 The quote “Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory” is a favorite in aviation circles. ____16____ Pilots can choose when to take off, but they must always land safely. ____17____ Pilots accept extensive (广泛的) training to prepare for any situation. They spend hours in the classroom and even more in the cockpit (驾驶舱). One of the most critical aspects of this training is learning how to take off and land safely. Take off marks the beginning of a flight. ____18____ However, it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. Pilots must consider key factors like wind speed, runway length, and the plane’s weight. If something goes wrong, pilots are trained to stop the takeoff immediately. While pilots may have a choice to take off, they must always land the plane safely. In other words, taking off is just the beginning of the flight. ____19____ It is only when the plane has landed safely that the mission is truly completed. The quote isn’t just about aviation. ____20____ They include business and personal relationships. In these contexts, it means that while we may have the freedom to start something, we must always see it through to completion. Just as a pilot must land the plane safely, we must finish what we start, even if it is difficult or challenging. A. Pilots can land airplanes safely. B. In aviation, safety is of primary importance. C. However, landing is the ultimate goal. D. It has also been applied to other areas of life. E. It emphasizes the importance of safety in flying. F. It is often exciting for both pilots and passengers. G. It reminds us of the significance of landing successfully. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. F 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要解读航空界名言的内涵，强调飞行安全及善始善终的道理，并延伸至生活其他领域。 【16题详解】 根据空前“The quote “Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory” is a favorite in aviation circles. (“起飞可选，降落必行”这句名言是航空界的至理名言。)”以及空后“Pilots can choose when to take off, but they must always land safely. (飞行员可以选择起飞的时间，但必须确保安全降落。)”可知，此空应点明这句名言的核心意义，E选项“It emphasizes the importance of safety in flying. (它强调了飞行安全的重要性。)”中的it指代前文的the quote，且与后文的安全降落相呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据空后“Pilots accept extensive (广泛的) training to prepare for any situation. They spend hours in the classroom and even more in the cockpit (驾驶舱). One of the most critical aspects of this training is learning how to take off and land safely. (飞行员要接受大量的训练以应对各种情况。他们会在课堂上学习数小时，在驾驶舱的实操时间则更久。这项训练中最关键的内容之一，就是学习如何安全起飞和降落。)”可知，此空应总领后文，突出飞行安全的首要地位，B选项“In aviation, safety is of primary importance. (在航空领域，安全是重中之重。)”能准确概括后文内容，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Take off marks the beginning of a flight. (起飞标志着一段飞行的开始。)”以及空后“However, it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. (但如果操作不当，起飞也可能存在危险。)”可知，此空应先说明起飞的积极一面，再与后文的危险形成转折，F选项“It is often exciting for both pilots and passengers. (起飞对于飞行员和乘客来说通常都是一件令人兴奋的事。)”中的it指代前文的take off，且衔接前后文逻辑，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“In other words, taking off is just the beginning of the flight. (换句话说，起飞只是飞行的开始。)”以及空后“It is only when the plane has landed safely that the mission is truly completed. (只有当飞机安全降落，飞行任务才算真正完成。)”可知，此空应强调降落才是飞行的最终目标，C选项“However, landing is the ultimate goal. (然而，降落才是最终的目标。)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“The quote isn’t just about aviation. (这句名言的意义不仅仅局限于航空领域。)”以及空后“They include business and personal relationships. (这些领域包括商业活动和人际关系。)”可知，此空应说明这句名言也适用于生活中的其他方面，D选项“It has also been applied to other areas of life. (它也被应用到了生活中的其他领域。)”中的it指代前文的the quote，且与后文的具体领域相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When dog Faith was born, she only had two fully developed legs, and both were on her back end.

She’d been working double shifts since her husband Mark passed away three months earlier, and her feet ached from standing all day long. A lot of money had been spent on her husband’s medical treatment, and now her son Tommy was about to enter high school, which was exactly a time when money was needed. Tommy was a thoughtful child who understood his mother’s struggles. He willingly shared household chores and even thought about getting a part-time job to help reduce the family’s financial strain. But Susan made it clear to Tommy that his priority (首要的事) was to study hard. At 15, Tommy had become her quiet rock, cooking dinner and finishing his homework alone while she was working. But recently, Susan found Tommy often came home late after school. And his coat was dirty. “Where have you been?” Susan asked, trying to keep the worry from sounding like anger. “Uh, I’ve formed a study group with Eric and some guys. We’re cramming (突击备考) for midterms,” Tommy answered, avoiding her eyes. Susan believed Tommy because he had never lied to her — not once. Eric was a straight-A student who’d been Tommy’s friend since the third grade. If Eric was there, everything must be fine. But that changed on a Thursday afternoon. For her birthday the next day, Susan went to the supermarket, thinking of taking this opportunity to cook some of Tommy’s favorite dishes. While Susan was shopping, she happened to run into Eric’s mom. In the chat, Susan learned that Eric had never come home late recently. Susan’s throat went dry. She didn’t understand why Tommy had lied to her. What if he was skipping school or hanging out with bad kids? Without a second thought, Susan went straight to Tommy’s school and waited at the school gate. She wanted to follow him to see where he was going and what he was up to. 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。 Shortly after school let out, Susan saw Tommy walk out of the school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Susan realized that her son had collected recyclables to buy the scarf for her birthday. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Shortly after school let out, Susan saw Tommy walk out of the school. He didn’t head home directly. Instead, he turned into an alley and stopped beside a pile of cardboard boxes. Susan hid behind a tree, her heart pounding. She watched Tommy bend down, pick up the clean cardboard, and stuff it into a big cloth bag he carried. Then he went from door to door, collecting empty plastic bottles from the trash cans. Every few steps, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. He didn’t notice that his mother was watching him with tears in her eyes. Susan realized that her son had collected recyclables to buy the scarf for her birthday. The next day was her birthday, and she suddenly remembered the scarf she had stared at in the shop window a week ago. Tommy must have noticed it. At that moment, Tommy turned around and saw her. He froze for a second, then smiled awkwardly. “Mom, I… I just wanted to buy you a birthday gift,” he mumbled. Susan rushed over and hugged him tightly. “It’s the best gift I’ve ever received,” she said, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew that her little boy had grown up into a responsible and loving man. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Susan在丈夫去世后独自承担家庭重担，发现儿子Tommy近期晚归且撒谎，心生担忧后跟踪儿子，最终发现儿子是为给她买生日礼物而捡拾废品，感受到儿子成长与爱意的温情故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“放学后不久，Susan看到Tommy走出学校。”可知，第一段可描写Susan跟踪儿子Tommy放学后的行动。如，他并没有直接回家，而是去收集可回收物品，Susan看到这一幕后内心深受触动。 ②由第二段首句“Susan意识到儿子收集可回收物品是为了给她买生日围巾。”可知，第二段可描写真相揭开后的场景。如，先点明Tommy捡拾废品的目的是为Susan买她之前留意过的围巾，再描写Tommy发现母亲后的尴尬与坦白，以及母子间的互动，最后以Susan的感悟升华母子情深的主题。 2. 续写线索： Tommy走出学校——收集可回收物品——Susan动容——Susan知晓买围巾的真相——Tommy解释和坦白——母子相拥——Susan感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①弯腰：bend down/stoop ②捡拾：pick up/collect ③塞：stuff/pack ④拥抱：hug/embrace 情感类： ①尴尬地：awkwardly/embarrassedly ②体贴的：loving/considerate 【点睛】[高分句型 1]. “It’s the best gift I’ve ever received,” she said, tears rolling down her cheeks.（运用了省略引导词that的定语从句，先行词为gift；以及tears rolling down her cheeks独立主格结构） [高分句型 2].

This travel plan will take you on a journey through some famous Scottish stops. Day 1 There’s plenty to see and do in Glasgow.

The views from the mountain top are simply incredible. We will rest in Glencoe Village at night. Day 3 From Glencoe Village, we will drive south to Stirling, but not without needing to stop multiple times to see some of the castles as this route gives some lovely views over the distant mountains of the Southern Highlands. In the evening, we’ll arrange local dishes in Stirling for you to experience traditional Scottish meals. Day 4 Once we arrive in Edinburgh, drop off your bags and set out to explore the city.

B I never thought basketball would change my life until Coach Wilson took over our struggling high school team. We were disorganized, lazy, and known more for our losses than our skills. On his first day, Coach Wilson made us run until our legs burned, and when some players complained, he simply said, “Quit now, or commit to being better.” A few walked away, but the rest of us stayed — maybe because no one had ever expected much from us before. Our legs hurt, but we kept running. For the first time, someone saw we could be better — and that made us want to prove him right. Coach Wilson didn’t just care about basketball. He made us clean up our language and even taught us how to shake hands properly. He never let our bad habits slide. Over time, we stopped being selfish players and started becoming real teammates — learning to respect each other, move together, and play as one. One day, after a tiring practice, he gathered us around and told us a story: A man saw a butterfly struggling to break free from its cocoon (茧). Feeling sorry for it, he carefully cut the cocoon open. The butterfly came out easily — but its wings were weak, and it could never fly. The struggle was necessary to make it strong. The lesson stuck. Slowly, we improved — not just as players, but as students, as teammates, and as people. We started winning games, but more importantly, we carried ourselves differently. We finally made it to the championship game. However, in the fourth quarter, something unexpected happened: my knee took a hit. Pain shot up my leg as I hit the floor. Coach Wilson came to me, his face unreadable. “You’re done,” he said, signaling to the bench. “No.” The butterfly’s wings flashed in my mind. “Don’t ... don’t cut the cocoon open,” I said. Coach Wilson nodded with a mix of heartache and pride in his eyes. I stepped back onto the court. I still felt a dull pain in my knee. Yet for the first time, I stood taller-as if something powerful was lifting me up. 4. How did the author feel on Coach Wilson’s first day? A. Excited but nervous. B. Angry and disappointed. C. Challenged but motivated. D. Bored and unimpressed. 5. How did Coach Wilson strengthen team unity? A. By setting common goals. B. By sharing personal stories. C. By organizing group activities. D. By correcting players’ manners. 6. What happened to the author at the championship game? A. He led his team to victory. B. He showed his great talent. C. He thanked his coach sincerely. D. He played on despite the injury. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor. D. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link. C Like humans, lots of wild animals like to spend time together and socialize. Lionesses (母狮子) will eat together after hunting, and elephants usually live in herds (群)of between eight and 100. However, according to a collection of recent studies, things are different when some animals get older. One of these studies looked at house sparrows (家麻雀) on Lundy, a small island off the coast of Devon, England. The study focused on house sparrows because they can adjust their lifestyles successfully to suit different environments. The research revealed that older house sparrows have smaller social circles than younger ones. Dr Jamie Dunning, who was involved in the research, said, “It could be because older birds don’t need to make friends for the same reasons that younger ones do. In their early years, these birds depend on regular interactions to discover reliable food sources and identify potential threats. These constant social activities serve as their guide through the complexities of youth. Older birds already know these things, so they don’t need to socialize as much. They can choose carefully who they spend time with, sticking with their close friends and saving their energy for more important things.” Another study looked at a herd of red deer living on Rum, a Scottish island. As the females got older, they became less sociable. This wasn’t because they didn’t like the other deer, though. The research shows this behavior actually helps protect them from getting sick from a particular kind of worm. These worms are small creatures that live off other animals, sometimes making them ill. The deer are more likely to become weak as they get older, but they can reduce the risk of coming across the worm by spending less time with other deer. The collection of studies covered lots of species, including monkeys and insects. Overall, it showed how aging animals changed their social behavior, which affected their social networks. In the future, scientists will examine how the observed patterns of social behavior changes in aging animals might relate to similar processes in people. The research may lead to new approaches to supporting elderly populations by understanding when reduced sociability represents normal adaptation and when intervention might be beneficial. 8. Why did researchers choose house sparrows as subjects? A. They have a short life cycle. B. They have a stable population. C. They show great adaptability. D. They live in a closed ecosystem. 9. What did Dr Jamie Dunning imply about house sparrows? A. Their social circles keep expanding. B. Their social competition declines with age. C. Their social activities depend on the local environment. D. Their social interaction frequency is determined by survival skills. 10. Why are older red deer less sociable? A. To save energy. B. To secure food sources. C. To prevent infectious diseases. D. To avoid conflicts with younger deer. 11. What will scientists focus on next? A. Exploring human applications. B. Including diverse bird species. C. Tracking animal aging processes. D. Protecting old animals. D Foods that awaken a sense of nostalgia (怀旧)and comfort are important considerations in prepared meals aimed at older adults, according to new research. “We want to help the prepared food industry produce attractive, healthy meals for older adults,” said Carolyn Ross, a professor. “Malnutrition (营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it. We want to walk a line where food is tasty, convenient, and full of nutrients.” In a recently published paper, Ross and her team developed desirable and nutritious dairy-rich breakfasts and desserts for older adults. They asked 81 people, with an average age of 71, to taste two breakfasts and two desserts. Scientists then asked a series of questions about the meals and individual eating habits. Ross said, “We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.” “Studying food nostalgia is a newer field of food science,” Ross said, “but examining comfort food is a bit more established.” Preference can vary widely due to cultural differences. In this study, whenever people labeled something as a comfort food, they liked it more. One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.” The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.” 12. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Constant. B. Sudden. C. Common. D. Different. 13. What mainly affects people’s food choices according to the study? A. Food textures. B. Food ingredients. C. Individual habits. D. Personal memories. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Age influences people’s taste. B. Texture matters more than flavor. C. Less cheese makes food less comforting. D. Comfort food is linked to a sense of nostalgia. 15. What might Ross agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Old people should stick to their favorite texture. B. A variety of textures make food more appealing. C. Old people should avoid hard and crispy textures. D. Soft and creamy textures are important for people. 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。 The quote “Every takeoff is optional.

She’d been working double shifts since her husband Mark passed away three months earlier, and her feet ached from standing all day long. A lot of money had been spent on her husband’s medical treatment, and now her son Tommy was about to enter high school, which was exactly a time when money was needed. Tommy was a thoughtful child who understood his mother’s struggles. He willingly shared household chores and even thought about getting a part-time job to help reduce the family’s financial strain. But Susan made it clear to Tommy that his priority (首要的事) was to study hard. At 15, Tommy had become her quiet rock, cooking dinner and finishing his homework alone while she was working. But recently, Susan found Tommy often came home late after school. And his coat was dirty. “Where have you been?” Susan asked, trying to keep the worry from sounding like anger. “Uh, I’ve formed a study group with Eric and some guys. We’re cramming (突击备考) for midterms,” Tommy answered, avoiding her eyes. Susan believed Tommy because he had never lied to her — not once. Eric was a straight-A student who’d been Tommy’s friend since the third grade. If Eric was there, everything must be fine. But that changed on a Thursday afternoon. For her birthday the next day, Susan went to the supermarket, thinking of taking this opportunity to cook some of Tommy’s favorite dishes. While Susan was shopping, she happened to run into Eric’s mom. In the chat, Susan learned that Eric had never come home late recently. Susan’s throat went dry She didn’t understand why Tommy had lied to her. What if he was skipping school or hanging out with bad kids? Without a second thought, Susan went straight to Tommy’s school and waited at the school gate. She wanted to follow him to see where he was going and what he was up to. 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。 Shortly after school let out, Susan saw Tommy walk out of the school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Susan realized that her son had collected recyclables to buy the scarf for her birthday. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
