W: Oh, is this one of those fake diamond necklaces? I have a ring with one of those in it, and they’re so much cheaper than real diamonds. M: No, it’s a real diamond. It is artificial, though. Did you know that diamonds can be made in a laboratory now? They cost less than natural diamonds, but they are more valuable than the fake diamonds you’re talking about. W: Well, it’s beautiful.

M: I have got to say, or I’m not normally into romance novels, not because I don’t think they have their value, but more because I’m a very impatient reader and I hate it when authors take their time getting to the point. And it’s the same reason I don’t like literary fiction. But I prefer science fiction. W: I don’t think I agree with you about romance novels. Literary fiction, yes, for sure, it tends to be flashy and difficult. But romance novels are a type of fiction that appeal to a wider range of audience and, as such, they need to use simpler language. 听第8段材料，回答10至12题。 10. Who did the man get the first-aid kit for? A. Himself. B. His daughter. C. His wife. 11. What does the man suggest the woman do? A. Get a first-aid kit. B. Buy right medicines. C. Check medicines regularly. 12. What do we know about the woman?

Honestly, although I’m a doctor, I didn’t have a first-aid kit in my house before I had my daughter. W: Why? M: My wife and I are always engaged in work and have little time to stay at home. So we thought it was unnecessary. But I was worried that my daughter might get hurt or ill after she was born. W: You’re such a good father. Actually I feel like purchasing a first-aid kit. M: But one thing I’d like to mention is that the medicine will fail and even become poisonous after a long time. Therefore, you’d better check your first-aid kit in time and replace medicines that have gone beyond the time limit. W: That’s good advice. Thank you so much. 听第9段材料，回答13至16题。 13.

C 15. A 16. C 【原文】 W: Have you seen the latest news about OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video generator? M: Yeah, it’s causing quite a shock in the advertising industry. Everyone in our company is talking about how it might influence our traditional advertisement methods. W: Exactly. With Sora’s ability to create videos from text, some people are worried that it will disturb the market for traditional video production and advertising agencies. M: Well, there are also concerns about creativity. W: True. Video has begun to improve at a surprising pace: companies like Runway and Pika have shown text-to-video models of their own, and Google’s Lumiere is one of OpenAI’s primary competitors in this space. Similar to Sora, Lumiere gives users text-to-video tools and also lets them create videos from a still image. M: It’s definitely something we need to keep an eye on as it could reshape the advertising landscape significantly. W: We’ll need to adapt and find ways to use this technology, making it work to our advantage. 听下面一段独白，回答17到20题。 17. What does Debra Rosenthal teach? A. Climate Change. B. Environmental Literature. C. Biology and Chemistry. 18. Why was Djukic initially unsure about the idea of the board game? A. She didn’t enjoy playing board games. B. She doubted its effectiveness in learning. C. She preferred traditional classroom discussions. 19. What’s the goal of the board game “Solutions”? A. To compete against each other. B. To collect recyclable materials. C. To solve problems through cooperation. 20. What will students do in the board game “Solutions”? A. Experience outdoor learning activities. B. Play with six copies at the same time. C. Base their decision making on voting. 【答案】17. B 18. B 19. C 20. C 【原文】 Isidora Djukic, a student at John Carroll University, never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English professor asked her to play a board game to learn about climate change. Djukic is taking a biology class called Climate Change: Global Impacts. At the same time, she is taking an English class called Environmental Literature. Her university requires students to take two connected classes that examine the same subject in different ways. Debra Rosenthal is the English professor. At first, Djukic said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just thinking the idea could be interesting. But can we really learn about climate change just by playing a board game? What specifically can we get from such a game?” Rosenthal bought six copies of a game called “Solutions”. The goal is to pick cards and then add them to the game board in a way that helps reduce global temperatures. Students do not compete against each other. They work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet is not destroyed. The game is different from some other board games such as “Monopoly”, where the goal is to win. Students read materials and then discuss their ideas. In most classes, Rosenthal said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a way to have fun while also learning about such a serious subject. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Assignment: Submit a Video of Demonstration Speech As the semester is drawing to a close, we kindly remind you to submit your Public Speaking course assignment on time.

Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great gray skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 24. Which word can best describe the elephant in the first two paragraphs? A. Mysterious. B. Depressed. C. Aggressive. D. Graceful. 25. What does the shift in focus from the elephant to others imply in Paragraph 3? A. The elephant is about to be attacked. B. The author is losing interest in the elephant. C. The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D. The author wants to show the savanna’s dangers. 26. How does the author feel when seeing through the lens? A. He is deeply moved and filled with sympathy. B. He is overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength. C. He is annoyed at the presence of other animals. D. He is shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature calms our anger. B. Nature purifies our souls. C. Nature heals our wounds. D. Nature enriches our imagination. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者的猎人视角，描绘一头饱经风霜却优雅悲悯的非洲象，其凝视触发作者的良知觉醒，最终放弃猎杀。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. (这只野兽慢慢地抬起头，它粗壮的鼻子巧妙地卷曲在附近一棵树的叶子上，把叶子抽出来，礼貌地塞进嘴里。)”和第二段中“Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. (它粗糙的毛发从皮肤上伸出来，两根巨大的白色象牙从嘴的两侧优雅地弯曲着。)”可知，前两段通过细致动作和雅致的外貌展现大象的优雅。故选D项。 25. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. (在某个地方，一只狮子在吼叫，还有别的什么东西发出了响亮的叫声。一只秃鹫飘过这个世界的上空，在天空中只是一个黑点。无数的灌木昆虫的嗡嗡声似乎集体提高了音调，几乎就像整个热带草原都在唱着只有它们才知道的歌。)”可知，该段描写狮子吼叫、秃鹫盘旋、昆虫鸣叫，并将之比喻为“草原的合唱”，表明大象与其他生物共存于这一生态系统中。因此，镜头从大象转向其他生物，意在展示大象是广阔鲜活世界的一部分。故选C项。 26. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. (变焦镜头几乎展示了这头大象的每一个细节：它的左耳上有三个小伤口，这是它小时候在荆棘树下玩耍时留下的，它的前腿上有一个伤疤，那是它年轻时被狮子在不知道的情况下抓住的，它那又大又珍贵的象牙上有几十年生活在这片尘土飞扬的大陆上无情的草原上的风化。)”和第五段中“And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. (然后大象看着我。它用那双长着睫毛的大眼睛看着我，从那巨大而隐蔽的深处发出一种温暖。)”可知，作者透过镜头看到大象的沧桑与灵性，他深受触动且充满同情。故选A项。 27. 推理判断题。根据第六段中“It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. (它接受和原谅。它去爱。但最主要的是，它只是感到悲伤。它为我感到难过。我不能再这样下去了。)”和最后一段“I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” (我把视线从瞄准具上移开，把枪还给了我的搭档。“我们回家吧，”我轻声说，“我们就回家吧。”)”可知，大象的凝视使作者放下猎枪，选择离开，体现自然唤醒人性良知，即“自然净化心灵”。故选B项。 C Do the colors that surround you influence how you feel? Can the colors on your walls and on your clothes affect your moods? Some researchers believe the answer is a decisive yes, while others aren’t so sure. Yet many marketers, interior designers, medical professionals and others swear by an informal field of science known as color psychology. Color psychology is defined as “the study of how the colors we perceive impact our thoughts and feelings.” Marketers use the science of color to persuade us to buy things. When choosing paint, furniture and wall art, interior designers act on the theory that colors can arouse certain feelings in us. Dentists are often advised to use light blue paint on their office walls to help calm apprehensive patients. We should keep in mind, though, that only by considering cultural preferences are we able to fully understand the science of color. For instance, in the West, white is for brides and black is for funerals. But in ancient Asia, white was sometimes worn for funerals. In Japan yellow represents courage while in the United States, it represents happiness. Additionally, many variables including gender, age, background and more must be considered before making color assumptions when one is studying the effects of color. After taking color variables into account, it’s safe to consider some mainstream theories about specific colors and their meanings. Here are just a few: Red symbolizes love energy, passion and danger Red is also believed to increase one’s hunger, which might be the reason why McDonald’s and Coca-Cola chose red as their major branding color. Brown, a color from nature, best represents things that are honest, trustworthy and dependable. It seems a perfect fit as the branding color for the package delivery company UPS. Blue —— in addition to representing peace and calm —— also means integrity and competence. It’s no surprise that PayPal and American Express both use blue as their branding color. Green —— another color from nature —— represents health, growth and freshness and is the perfect branding color for Starbucks. Pink symbolizes love, romance, innocence and femininity (女性特质). The popular doll company that makes Barbie uses pink as its major branding color. If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. With this knowledge, we can effectively harness (驾驭) color power to create positive school, work and home environments. 28. What does the phrase “swear by” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. Deeply investigate. B. Deeply believe. C. Somewhat doubt. D. Still wish. 29. What is the author’s purpose of taking white and black as an example in the passage? A. To remind we should take culture into account when learning the science of color. B. To state that cultural preferences are decisive factors in color psychology. C. To show different cultures have different preferences for different colors. D. To prove white and black represent complete different things in different countries. 30. What is the reason for PayPal to choose its branding color? A. It arouses people’s love and enthusiasm. B. It leaves an impression of honesty and trustworthiness. C. It reflects qualities of decency and capacity. D. It is a color directly sourced from nature. 31. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ___________. A. color psychology may not help us make correct decisions in life B. color psychology is an underdeveloped field in modern science C. color psychology has been recognized throughout the world D. color psychology is influencing our feelings and choices 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了颜色心理学这一非正式科学领域，阐述了颜色如何影响人们的情绪和决策，以及不同颜色所代表的意义，还提到了在研究颜色影响时需考虑文化偏好等因素。 28. 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Yet many marketers, interior designers, medical professionals and others swear by an informal field of science known as color psychology. Color psychology is defined as “the study of how the colors we perceive impact our thoughts and feelings.”(然而，许多营销人员、室内设计师、医疗专业人士和其他人都对一种被称为色彩心理学的非正式科学领域……。色彩心理学被定义为“研究我们所感知的颜色如何影响我们的思想和感受。”)”以及第三段“Marketers use the science of color to persuade us to buy things. When choosing paint, furniture and wall art, interior designers act on the theory that colors can arouse certain feelings in us. Dentists are often advised to use light blue paint on their office walls to help calm apprehensive patients(营销人员利用色彩科学来影响我们的购买行为。在选择油漆、家具和墙面装饰时，室内设计师依据“颜色能唤起人们特定情绪”这一理论进行设计。牙医也常被建议在诊室墙壁上使用浅蓝色，以帮助缓解患者的紧张情绪)”可知，营销人员利用色彩科学来影响我们的购买行为，牙医也常被建议在诊室墙壁上使用浅蓝色，以帮助缓解患者的紧张情绪，可推理出很多营销人员、室内设计师、医疗专业人士等都坚信色彩心理学这一非正式科学领域，所以“swear by”意思是“坚信”。故选B项。 29. 推理判断题。根据第四段“We should keep in mind, though, that only by considering cultural preferences are we able to fully understand the science of color. For instance, in the West, white is for brides and black is for funerals. But in ancient Asia, white was sometimes worn for funerals. In Japan yellow represents courage while in the United States, it represents happiness.(然而，我们应该记住，只有考虑文化偏好，我们才能完全理解色彩科学。例如，在西方，白色代表新娘，黑色代表葬礼。但在古代亚洲，白色有时用于葬礼。在日本，黄色代表勇气，而在美国，它代表幸福)”可知，在西方，白色代表新娘，黑色代表葬礼。但在古代亚洲，白色有时用于葬礼，可推理出作者以白色和黑色为例，是为了说明在研究色彩科学时要考虑文化偏好。故选A项。 30. 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Blue —— in addition to representing peace and calm —— also means integrity and competence. It’s no surprise that PayPal and American Express both use blue as their branding color.(蓝色除了代表和平与平静外，还意味着正直和能力。PayPal和美国运通都使用蓝色作为他们的品牌颜色也就不足为奇了。)”可知，PayPal选择蓝色作为品牌颜色是因为蓝色反映了正直和能力。故选C项。 31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. With this knowledge, we can effectively harness (驾驭) color power to create positive school, work and home environments.(如果色彩心理学的倡导者是正确的，那么我们的情绪和决策确实会受到周围颜色的影响。有了这些知识，我们可以有效地利用色彩的力量来创造积极的学校、工作和家庭环境。)”可知，我们的情绪和决策确实会受到周围颜色的影响，我们可以有效地利用色彩的力量来创造积极的学校、工作和家庭环境，可推理出色彩心理学正在影响我们的感受和选择。故选D项。 D Most air conditioners use refrigerant gases called HFCs (氢氟碳化合物)，which are hundreds of times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO₂. Researchers have long sought ways to produce cooling systems that do without these troublesome gases. Now Exergyn, a Dublin-based company, claims to have developed a new type of air conditioning which avoids using HFCs. Exergyn’s system uses nitinol, a shape-memory alloy (合金) of nickel and titanium. All shape-memory alloys release heat when compressed (压缩), and then absorb it when the pressure is released and they return to their original shape. But Exergyn’s version of nitinol displays this quality to a remarkable degree. For its experimental model, the company produced 4 cm² plates of the alloy, each with holes to permit the passage of a heat-carrying liquid or gas. A range of eco-friendly substances such as water, salty water and air can-be employed in that role, thus avoiding the use of HFCs. Kevin O’ Toole, Exergyn’s managing director, explains, “To build a refrigerator involves fitting these plates together into stacks of 50 or more. Four stacks make a unit. The stacks are compressed in turn. At any given moment, one stack is being compressed, one released, one pre-heated and one pre- cooled. To cool a room involves passing one hot circuit and one cold circuit of the heat-carrying fluid or gas through this four-stack unit.” This method of cooling is not only more environmentally friendly than an HFC set-up, but will also be less expensive to buy and 30%–40% cheaper to run. It will be lighter and smaller, too. As for reliability, the prototype’s performance suggests the unit could operate for more than 40 years without a problem. Development is still continuing, but products may be only a few years away. Exergyn has also begun talks with carmakers and aerospace companies about setting up joint-development projects. With cars and some small aircraft going electric, it is not just cooling the cabin that manufacturers have to think about, but also cooling the batteries. 32. What are the holes in the plates of alloy intended for? A. Avoiding the use of those troublesome gases such as HFCs. B. Testing a range of substances such as water, salty water and air. C. Passing the heat-carrying fluid or gas through the four-stack unit. D. Helping compress, release, pre-heat and pre-cool the four stacks. 33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about concerning the new type of cooling? A. Its potential. B. Its strengths. C. Its functions. D. Its affordability. 34. What can we infer about Exergyn from the last paragraph? A. It is likely to expand its business. B. It will set up an aerospace company. C. It has brought the technology to market. D. It will lead the market of air conditioning. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Model: a four-stack unit B. HFCs: a potential crisis C. Exergyn: a future winner D. Nitinol: a cooler alternative 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一款不含氢氟碳化合物的新型环保空调及其工作原理与优势。 32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For its experimental model, the company produced 4 cm² plates of the alloy, each with holes to permit the passage of a heat-carrying liquid or gas. (在实验模型中，该公司制造了4平方厘米的合金板，每块板上都有孔洞，以便载热液体或气体通过)”可知，合金板上的孔洞用途是让载热流体或气体通过。故选C项。 33. 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“This method of cooling is not only more environmentally friendly than an HFC set-up, but will also be less expensive to buy and 30%–40% cheaper to run. It will be lighter and smaller, too. As for reliability, the prototype’s performance suggests the unit could operate for more than 40 years without a problem.

(埃克瑟金公司也已开始与汽车制造商和航空航天公司洽谈建立联合开发项目)”可知，该公司正计划拓展业务领域，很可能会扩大自身的业务规模。故选A项。 35. 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Now Exergyn, a Dublin-based company, claims to have developed a new type of air conditioning which avoids using HFCs.(现在，总部位于都柏林的埃克瑟金公司声称已经开发出一种新型空调，可以避免使用氢氟碳化物)”和第二段中“Exergyn’s system uses nitinol, a shape-memory alloy (合金) of nickel and titanium. All shape-memory alloys release heat when compressed (压缩), and then absorb it when the pressure is released and they return to their original shape.(埃克瑟金的系统使用镍钛诺，一种由镍和钛组成的形状记忆合金。所有的形状记忆合金在被压缩时都会释放热量，然后在压力释放时吸收热量，然后恢复到原来的形状)”可知，文章围绕一款以镍钛诺形状记忆合金为核心的新型制冷设备展开，介绍了其工作原理、优势以及未来的发展方向，这种合金是替代氢氟碳化合物制冷的新选择。D选项 “Nitinol: a cooler alternative(镍钛诺：一种制冷新选择)”最能概括全文主旨，适合用作标题。故选D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。 People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. 36 ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: 37 Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● 38 Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. 39 In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk- taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they’d approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don’t do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. 40 Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Our body impacts our mind. C. Overcome unexpected fears. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. B 40. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出冒险虽不易，却能带来收获，给出拥抱策略性风险、享受小胜利、调节身心、善待自己四条建议，助人们克服恐惧、变得勇敢。 36. 由上文“People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. (人们说勇者有好运，但付诸行动远比说起来容易。)”和下文列出的四条建议可知，空格处需引出“帮助克服恐惧、勇敢冒险”的方法。G项“The following tips will help you outsmart fear. (以下建议将帮助你智取恐惧。)”符合语境，“The following tips”衔接下文具体建议，“outsmart fear”呼应上文“taking a leap is easier said than done”，承上启下。故选G项。 37. 由上文“One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: (关于冒险，最大的误解之一是如果某件事让人感到不适，就该退缩。但研究告诉我们：)”和下文“If yes, expect some embarrassment.

(享受小胜利。)”符合语境，“small wins”呼应下文“bite-size, winnable risks”，直接点明段落主题，引出具体做法，衔接自然。故选A项。 39. 由上文“Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. (吸气拥抱勇敢，呼气释放恐惧。)”和下文“In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. (换句话说，深呼吸有助于调节焦虑。)”可知，空格处需说明“身体动作对心理的影响”。B项“Our body impacts our mind. (我们的身体会影响心理。)”符合语境，“Our body”指代上文“深呼吸”的动作，“impacts our mind”呼应下文“调节焦虑”的心理效果，解释了“呼吸调节情绪”的原理，逻辑清晰。故选B项。 40. 由上文“Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. (不要自责，原谅自己，因为你只是个普通人。)”和下文“Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. (善待自己或许正是迈向更勇敢自我的最佳方式。)”可知，空格处需补充“不必时刻勇敢”的观点。D项“No one is courageous all the time. (没有人能一直勇敢。)”符合语境，“No one is courageous all the time”呼应上文“forgive yourself because you’re human”，为“善待自己”提供理由，衔接紧密。故选D项。 第II卷（非选择题） 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 His goal was to walk around the world. 27 years later, he’s about to finish.

The eye-catching entrance looks as if a threatening giant has thrown a tram car into the solid sidewalk. In reality, it has a much 57 (practical) origin. This station entrance, which looks like the wreckage of a trolley car half 58 (bury) in the ground, is credited to architect Zbigniew Peter Pininski. By 59 (feature) familiar objects, such as apples and clocks, in unusual contexts, he aroused wonder and curiosity. Besides his love for abstract art, Pininski had another reason 60 accounted for his motivation. At the time, the subway station was simply a 61 (propose) to extend Frankfurt’s subway system. Many residents were concerned about the impact the construction would have 62 the community, leading to fierce debate. Pininski’s unusual design helped win over enough support for the station 63 (get) “the green light”, and it was built in 1986. 64 some still complained about the expansion, Pininski’s creative architecture won praise from many others. It 65 (become) a tourist attraction for people to take photos near what could be described as a work of art. The late surrealist master Magritte would have approved. 【答案】56. Whoever 57. more practical 58. buried 59. featuring 60. that / which 61.proposal 62. on / upon 63. to get 64. While / Though / Although 65. has become 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德国法兰克福 Bockenheimer Warte地铁站的独特入口设计，包括其外观特点、设计师的创意来源、设计背后的故事以及该设计对当地社区和游客的影响。 56. Whoever 考查主语从句引导词。句意：任何有着生动想象力的人，都可能相信有强大的超级反派存在。 空格部分需要引导一个主语从句，并在该从句中充当主语，指代“任何一个有…的人”。根据句意，应使用表示“任何人；无论谁”的“Whoever”。因位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Whoever。 57. more practical 考查形容词比较级。句意：实际上，它的起源要实际得多。空格前有副词“much”，通常用于修饰比较级，表示“…得多”。句意将奇特的外观 (a threatening giant...)与其真实的“起源”进行对比，暗示真实的起源“更加实际”。故填more practical。 58. buried 考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：这个车站入口看起来像一辆有轨电车一半被埋在土里的残骸，它的设计归功于建筑师兹比格涅夫·彼得·皮宁斯基。空格位于“half ______ in the ground”中，修饰前面的“a trolley car”。电车与“bury” (埋)之间是被动关系，即“被埋在地下”。此处用过去分词“buried”构成过去分词短语作后置定语，相当于定语从句“which is half buried...”。故填buried。 59. featuring 考查介词“by”后的动词形式。句意：通过将苹果和时钟等熟悉物体置于不同寻常的场景中，他引发了人们的惊奇和好奇。空格前为介词“By”，表示方式、手段。介词后的动词需使用动名词 (-ing)形式。“By featuring...”意为“通过以…为特色”，在句中作方式状语。故填featuring。 60. that / which 考查定语从句关系代词。句意：除了对抽象艺术的热爱，皮宁斯基还有另一个解释他创作动机的原因。空格前为名词“reason”，空格后是一个完整的句子“accounted for his motivation” (解释了他的动机)。这里“reason”是先行词，需要关系代词引导定语从句来修饰它。关系代词在从句中作主语，指代物 (reason)。故填that / which。 61. proposal 考查词性转换 (动词到名词)。句意：当时，这个地铁站仅仅是一个延伸法兰克福地铁系统的提议。空格前有不定冠词“a”和形容词“simply”，因此需要填入一个名词。动词“propose”的名词形式是“proposal”。故填proposal。 62. on / upon 考查固定搭配。句意：许多居民担心施工会对社区造成的影响，这引发了激烈的争论。考查名词“impact” (影响)与介词的搭配。“have an impact on/upon sth.”是固定短语，意为“对…有影响”。故填on / upon。 63. to get 考查动词不定式作目的状语。句意：皮宁斯基不同寻常的设计帮助赢得了足够的支持，使这个车站得以获得“绿灯”批准，并于198年建成。“赢得支持”的目的是“获得许可 (绿灯)”。故填to get。 64. While / Though / Although 考查让步状语从句引导词。句意：尽管仍然有一些人对地铁扩建到他们的区域有怨言，但皮宁斯基富有创造力的建筑赢得了许多其他人的赞誉。分析前后句逻辑：“______ some still complained... (一些人仍然抱怨…)”，“Pininski’s creative architecture won praise... (他的设计赢得了赞扬…)”。前后构成转折让步关系，意为“尽管…但是…”。因此需要填入一个引导让步状语从句的连词。故填While / Though / Although。 65. has become 考查动词时态。句意：它甚至已经成为一个旅游景点，人们可以在这个堪称艺术品的地方附近拍照。根据上下文，车站建于1986年，从过去建成到现在，它“已经成为”一个旅游景点。这个状态从过去持续到现在并对现在有影响 (现在依然是景点)，因此应使用现在完成时。故填has become。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 假定你是李华，外教老师Jenny准备在班里举办一次辩论赛，她给出了“Mobile phones in class?”和“Group or individual study?”两个题目供大家选择。请给Jenny写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.你的选择； 2.说明理由。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jenny, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Possible version l: Dear Jenny, I’d like to recommend “Mobile phones in class?” as our debate topic. It’s a practical and engaging issue that affects all of us directly. This topic sparks strong opinions, with some arguing that phones can aid learning through online resources and useful apps, while others firmly believe they are a major distraction. A debate would give us a structured chance to fairly weigh these opposing views and develop our critical thinking regarding technology’s role in education. I am confident this theme will lead to lively and meaningful discussions, as it is a situation everyone has experienced and can relate to. Thank you for considering my suggestion, and I look forward to the exchange of ideas. Yours, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Jenny, I’d like to suggest “Group or individual study?” as our debate topic.

Group study encourages collaboration and diverse perspectives, while individual study allows for personalized focus. Some students thrive in team discussions, whereas others prefer quiet and independence. Exploring both approaches would help us understand their respective strengths in different learning situations. I believe this topic will lead to a practical and insightful discussion. It could even help classmates improve their study habits. Hope you find this suggestion useful!

Mr. and Mrs. Martin wanted to make it warm and lovely, so they decided to do some decorating themselves. That morning, Mrs. Martin stood at the door, reminding her busy husband. “Don’t climb too high, don’t move heavy boxes, and don’t forget to rest,” she said again and again, before she eventually headed out to buy curtains. Earlier, their daughter Emily had called. She said she was tied up with her job in another city, but promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll celebrate together soon.” The couple missed her, of course, but they smiled at each other and agreed it would be meaningful to get the new home ready, a warm welcome awaiting their daughter’s arrival. Mr. Martin waved goodbye to his wife and went back to his decorating work, confident and full of energy at first. But soon the living room turned into a battlefield. Boxes, nails, a hammer and screwdrivers lay everywhere. Paint splashed onto the floor, and the wall looked like a child’s drawing. And several photo frames were scattered on the ground. “A spider!” Mr. Martin climbed onto a shaky stool to chase it away-his wife hated those things — but instead he slipped and broke a photo frame. “Ouch, my back!” he groaned, sweat trickling down his forehead. He began to wonder whether he was really able to do this job alone. Then came a sharp smell from the kitchen. “Oh no, my cake!” Mr. Martin dragged himself to open the oven. The cake, which he had planned to surprise his wife, was now nothing but a hard black rock. He stared at it, shaking his head. “Should I admit the mess? Or pretend nothing happened?” he whispered. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Mrs. Martin stepped inside with the new curtains in her arms. 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: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. __________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. _____________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. Her eyes widened at the messy living room — paint splatters on the floor, scattered tools, and the broken photo frame. When she spotted the blackened cake in the oven, she let out a soft sigh. Mr. Martin lowered his head in shame, ready for criticism. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Martin walked over and gently touched his back. “Are you hurt?” she asked worriedly. Then she smiled, “We’re decorating a home, not building a palace. Mess is part of the fun.” Together, they started cleaning up, with Mr. Martin sharing his clumsy attempts to chase the spider. Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. It was Emily, holding a big bunch of flowers. She stepped inside and gasped, “Wow, it feels like home already!” Her eyes fell on the slightly messy but warm room, and then on the black cake. Mr. Martin scratched his head awkwardly, but Emily laughed and said, “I love it — it’s full of your love.” That evening, they ordered takeout, talked and laughed while arranging photo frames. The messy living room, once a battlefield, had turned into the warmest corner of their new home. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了搬家前一天，马丁夫妇俩自行装修新房，想给女儿营造温馨的家。过程中马丁先生状况频出，摔坏相框、烤焦蛋糕，正犹豫是否坦白时，妻子带着新窗帘回来了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“马丁太太愣在原地，一动不动。”可知，第一段可以描写马丁太太看到被丈夫弄得一团糟的客厅和烤焦的蛋糕时的反应，从最初的惊讶到选择温柔包容，再到两人一起清理、分享趣事，凸显夫妻间的理解与温情。 ②由第二段句首内容“新窗帘终于挂好了，门铃响了。”可知，第二段可以描写女儿埃米莉到达后的反应，她对充满生活气息的房间和“失败蛋糕”的接纳与赞赏，接着三人一起点餐、欢笑、整理相框，最终将“混乱”升华为新家最温暖的印记，点明“爱与包容让家有温度”的主旨。 2.续写线索：发现房间混乱——丈夫愧疚等待批评——妻子温柔包容——共同清理分享趣事——门铃响——女儿到达——三人欢聚定格温馨 3.词汇激活 行为类：①发现：spot/discover ②走过去：walk over/go over ③轻拍他背部：gently touch his back/pat him on the back gently 情绪类：①羞愧地：in shame/shamefacedly ②出乎意料地：unexpectedly/surprisingly 【点睛】 【高分句型1】When she spotted the blackened cake in the oven, she let out a soft sigh.

Joky k is taking a biology class called climate change, global impacts. At the same time, SHE is taking an english class called environmental literature. Her university requires students to take two connected classes that examine the same subject in different ways. Debra rosenthall is the english professor. At first, jackie said he was uncertain about rosendo's board game idea. I was just thinking, the idea could be interesting, but can we really learn about climate change just by playing a board game? What specifically can we get from such a game? Rosen dall bought six copies of a game called solutions. The goal is to pick cards and then add them to the game board in a way that helps reduce global temperatures. Students do not compete against each other. They work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet is not destroyed. The game is different from some other board games, such as monopoly, where the goal is to win students read materials and then discuss their ideas in most classes, rosen dall said students left, disagreed, and had a call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward. In the game joke, he said he was a way to have fun while also learning about such a serious subject. Is a door, a je kick?

B The great elephant stands in the hot African sun. Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great gray skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 24. Which word can best describe the elephant in the first two paragraphs? A. Mysterious. B. Depressed. C. Aggressive. D. Graceful. 25. What does the shift in focus from the elephant to others imply in Paragraph 3? A. The elephant is about to be attacked. B. The author is losing interest in the elephant. C. The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D. The author wants to show the savanna’s dangers. 26. How does the author feel when seeing through the lens? A. He is deeply moved and filled with sympathy. B. He is overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength. C. He is annoyed at the presence of other animals. D. He is shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature calms our anger. B. Nature purifies our souls. C. Nature heals our wounds. D. Nature enriches our imagination. C Do the colors that surround you influence how you feel? Can the colors on your walls and on your clothes affect your moods? Some researchers believe the answer is a decisive yes, while others aren’t so sure. Yet many marketers, interior designers, medical professionals and others swear by an informal field of science known as color psychology. Color psychology is defined as “the study of how the colors we perceive impact our thoughts and feelings.” Marketers use the science of color to persuade us to buy things. When choosing paint, furniture and wall art, interior designers act on the theory that colors can arouse certain feelings in us. Dentists are often advised to use light blue paint on their office walls to help calm apprehensive patients. We should keep in mind, though, that only by considering cultural preferences are we able to fully understand the science of color. For instance, in the West, white is for brides and black is for funerals. But in ancient Asia, white was sometimes worn for funerals. In Japan yellow represents courage while in the United States, it represents happiness. Additionally, many variables including gender, age, background and more must be considered before making color assumptions when one is studying the effects of color. After taking color variables into account, it’s safe to consider some mainstream theories about specific colors and their meanings. Here are just a few: Red symbolizes love energy, passion and danger Red is also believed to increase one’s hunger, which might be the reason why McDonald’s and Coca-Cola chose red as their major branding color. Brown, a color from nature, best represents things that are honest, trustworthy and dependable. It seems a perfect fit as the branding color for the package delivery company UPS. Blue —— in addition to representing peace and calm —— also means integrity and competence. It’s no surprise that PayPal and American Express both use blue as their branding color. Green —— another color from nature —— represents health, growth and freshness and is the perfect branding color for Starbucks. Pink symbolizes love, romance, innocence and femininity (女性特质). The popular doll company that makes Barbie uses pink as its major branding color. If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. With this knowledge, we can effectively harness (驾驭) color power to create positive school, work and home environments. 28. What does the phrase “swear by” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. Deeply investigate. B. Deeply believe. C. Somewhat doubt. D. Still wish. 29. What is the author’s purpose of taking white and black as an example in the passage? A. To remind we should take culture into account when learning the science of color. B. To state that cultural preferences are decisive factors in color psychology. C. To show different cultures have different preferences for different colors. D. To prove white and black represent complete different things in different countries. 30. What is the reason for PayPal to choose its branding color? A. It arouses people’s love and enthusiasm. B. It leaves an impression of honesty and trustworthiness. C. It reflects qualities of decency and capacity. D. It is a color directly sourced from nature. 31. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ___________. A. color psychology may not help us make correct decisions in life B. color psychology is an underdeveloped field in modern science C. color psychology has been recognized throughout the world D. color psychology is influencing our feelings and choices D Most air conditioners use refrigerant gases called HFCs (氢氟碳化合物)，which are hundreds of times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO₂. Researchers have long sought ways to produce cooling systems that do without these troublesome gases. Now Exergyn, a Dublin-based company, claims to have developed a new type of air conditioning which avoids using HFCs. Exergyn’s system uses nitinol, a shape-memory alloy (合金) of nickel and titanium. All shape-memory alloys release heat when compressed (压缩), and then absorb it when the pressure is released and they return to their original shape. But Exergyn’s version of nitinol displays this quality to a remarkable degree. For its experimental model, the company produced 4 cm² plates of the alloy, each with holes to permit the passage of a heat-carrying liquid or gas. A range of eco-friendly substances such as water, salty water and air can-be employed in that role, thus avoiding the use of HFCs. Kevin O’ Toole, Exergyn’s managing director, explains, “To build a refrigerator involves fitting these plates together into stacks of 50 or more. Four stacks make a unit. The stacks are compressed in turn. At any given moment, one stack is being compressed, one released, one pre-heated and one pre-cooled. To cool a room involves passing one hot circuit and one cold circuit of the heat-carrying fluid or gas through this four-stack unit.” This method of cooling is not only more environmentally friendly than an HFC set-up, but will also be less expensive to buy and 30%–40% cheaper to run. It will be lighter and smaller, too. As for reliability, the prototype’s performance suggests the unit could operate for more than 40 years without a problem. Development is still continuing, but products may be only a few years away. Exergyn has also begun talks with carmakers and aerospace companies about setting up joint-development projects. With cars and some small aircraft going electric, it is not just cooling the cabin that manufacturers have to think about, but also cooling the batteries. 32. What are the holes in the plates of alloy intended for? A. Avoiding the use of those troublesome gases such as HFCs. B. Testing a range of substances such as water, salty water and air. C. Passing the heat-carrying fluid or gas through the four-stack unit. D. Helping compress, release, pre-heat and pre-cool the four stacks. 33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about concerning the new type of cooling? A. Its potential. B. Its strengths. C. Its functions. D. Its affordability. 34. What can we infer about Exergyn from the last paragraph? A. It is likely to expand its business. B. It will set up an aerospace company. C. It has brought the technology to market. D. It will lead the market of air conditioning. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Model: a four-stack unit B. HFCs: a potential crisis C. Exergyn: a future winner D. Nitinol: a cooler alternative 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。 People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. 36 ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: 37 Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● 38 Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. 39 In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk- taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they’d approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don’t do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. 40 Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Our body impacts our mind. C. Overcome unexpected fears. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. 第II卷（非选择题） 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 His goal was to walk around the world. 27 years later, he’s about to finish.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin wanted to make it warm and lovely, so they decided to do some decorating themselves. That morning, Mrs. Martin stood at the door, reminding her busy husband. “Don’t climb too high, don’t move heavy boxes, and don’t forget to rest,” she said again and again, before she eventually headed out to buy curtains. Earlier, their daughter Emily had called. She said she was tied up with her job in another city, but promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll celebrate together soon.” The couple missed her, of course, but they smiled at each other and agreed it would be meaningful to get the new home ready, a warm welcome awaiting their daughter’s arrival. Mr. Martin waved goodbye to his wife and went back to his decorating work, confident and full of energy at first. But soon the living room turned into a battlefield. Boxes, nails, a hammer and screwdrivers lay everywhere. Paint splashed onto the floor, and the wall looked like a child’s drawing. And several photo frames were scattered on the ground. “A spider!” Mr. Martin climbed onto a shaky stool to chase it away-his wife hated those things — but instead he slipped and broke a photo frame. “Ouch, my back!” he groaned, sweat trickling down his forehead. He began to wonder whether he was really able to do this job alone. Then came a sharp smell from the kitchen. “Oh no, my cake!” Mr. Martin dragged himself to open the oven. The cake, which he had planned to surprise his wife, was now nothing but a hard black rock. He stared at it, shaking his head. “Should I admit the mess? Or pretend nothing happened?” he whispered.

It’s a practical and engaging issue that affects all of us directly. This topic sparks strong opinions, with some arguing that phones can aid learning through online resources and useful apps, while others firmly believe they are a major distraction. A debate would give us a structured chance to fairly weigh these opposing views and develop our critical thinking regarding technology’s role in education. I am confident this theme will lead to lively and meaningful discussions, as it is a situation everyone has experienced and can relate to. Thank you for considering my suggestion, and I look forward to the exchange of ideas. Yours, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Jenny, I’d like to suggest “Group or individual study?” as our debate topic. This is a meaningful choice that every student encounters in their learning process. Group study encourages collaboration and diverse perspectives, while individual study allows for personalized focus. Some students thrive in team discussions, whereas others prefer quiet and independence. Exploring both approaches would help us understand their respective strengths in different learning situations. I believe this topic will lead to a practical and insightful discussion. It could even help classmates improve their study habits. Hope you find this suggestion useful! Yours, Li Hua 应用文写作评分标准 一、评分原则 1. 本题总分为15分，按5个档次给分。 2. 评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。 3. 词数少于60和多于100的，从总分中减去2分。 4. 评分时，应注意的主要内容为：内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的丰富性和准确性及上下文的连贯性。 5. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 6. 如书写较差，以致影响交际，可将分数降低一个档次。 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 档次 描述 第五档 (13～15分) 完全完成了试题规定的任务。 - 覆盖所有内容要点。 - 应用了较多的语法结构和词汇。 - 语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误，但因尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致；具备较强的语言运用能力。 - 有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。 完全达到了预期的写作目的。 第四档 (10～12分) 完全完成了试题规定的任务。 - 虽漏掉1、2个次重点，但覆盖所有主要内容。 - 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。 - 语法结构或词汇方面应用基本准确，些许错误主要是因尝试较复杂语法结构或词汇所致。 - 应用简单的语句间连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。 达到了预期的写作目的。 第三档 (7～9分) 基本完成了试题规定的任务。 - 虽漏掉一些内容，但覆盖所有主要内容。 - 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。 - 有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，但不影响理解。 - 应用简单的语句间连接成分，使全文内容连贯。 整体而言，基本达到了预期的写作目的。 第二档 (4～6分) 未适当完成试题规定的任务。 - 漏掉或未描述清楚一些主要内容，写了一些无关内容。 - 语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。 - 有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响了对写作内容的理解。 - 较少使用语句间的连接成分，内容缺少连贯性。 信息未能清楚地传达给读者。 第一档 (1～3分) 未完成试题规定的任务。 - 明显遗漏主要内容，写了一些无关内容，原因可能是未理解试题要求。 - 语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。 - 较多语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响对写作内容的理解。 - 缺乏语句间的连接成分，内容不连贯。 信息未能传达给读者。 0分 未能传达给读者任何信息：内容太少，无法评判；写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。 第二节（满分25分） 【参考范文】 Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. Her eyes widened at the messy living room — paint splatters on the floor, scattered tools, and the broken photo frame. When she spotted the blackened cake in the oven, she let out a soft sigh. Mr. Martin lowered his head in shame, ready for criticism. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Martin walked over and gently touched his back. “Are you hurt?” she asked worriedly. Then she smiled, “We’re decorating a home, not building a palace. Mess is part of the fun.” Together, they started cleaning up, with Mr. Martin sharing his clumsy attempts to chase the spider. Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. It was Emily, holding a big bunch of flowers. She stepped inside and gasped, “Wow, it feels like home already!” Her eyes fell on the slightly messy but warm room, and then on the black cake. Mr. Martin scratched his head awkwardly, but Emily laughed and said, “I love it — it’s full of your love.” That evening, they ordered takeout, talked and laughed while arranging photo frames. The messy living room, once a battlefield, had turned into the warmest corner of their new home. 读后续写评分原则 一、评分标准 1. 本题总分为25分，按七个档次进行评分。 2. 评分时，主要从续写内容、语言表达、篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为： （1）创造内容的质量，续写的完整性及与原文情景的融洽度。 （2）所使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。 （3）上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 3. 评分时，应先根据作答的具体情况确定其所属的档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。 4. 评分时还应注意： （1）词数少于120的，酌情扣分； （2）书写较差以致影响交际的，酌情扣分； （3）单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑，英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 第七档（22～25分） 创造了新颖、丰富、合理的内容，富有逻辑性，续写完整，与原文情境融洽度高； 使用了多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达流畅，语言错误很少，且完全不影响理解； 自然有效地使用了段落间、语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，前后呼应，意义连贯。 第六档（18～21分） 创造了比较丰富、合理的内容，比较有逻辑性，续写比较完整，与原文情境融洽度较高； 使用了比较多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达比较流畅，有个别错误，但不影响理解； 比较有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，意义比较连贯。 第五档（15～17分） 创造了基本合理的内容，有一定的逻辑性，续写基本完整，与原文情境相关； 使用了比较恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达方式不够多样性，表达有些许错误，但基本不影响理解； 使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构比较清晰，意义比较连贯。 第四档（11～14分） 创造了基本完整的故事内容，但有的情节不够合理或逻辑性不强，与原文情境基本相关； 使用了简单的词汇和语法结构，有部分语言错误和不恰当之处，个别部分影响理解； 有语句衔接的意识，全文结构基本清晰，意义基本连贯。 第三档（6～10分） 内容和逻辑上有一些重大问题，续写不够完整，与原文有一定程度脱节； 所用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误较多且比较低级，影响理解； 未能有效地使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义欠连贯。 第二档（1～5分） 内容和逻辑上有较多重大问题，或有部分内容抄自原文，续写不完整，与原文情境基本脱节； 所使用的词汇非常有限，语法结构单调，错误极多，严重影响理解。 几乎没有使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯。 第一档（0分） 未作答；所写内容太少或无法看清以致无法评判；所写内容全部抄自原文或与题目要求完全不相关。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
