That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁) . She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds. In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds. 4. Which saying can best show the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. It is better to give than to take. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Helping others is helping ourselves. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. 5. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Expect. B. Refuse. C. Accept. D. Recognize 6. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed? A. When her friends heard about her success. B. When she was considered as a bird expert. C. After she shared the birds’ videos on the media. D. After she looked after a large number of the birds. 7. According to the text, Catia can be described as ________. A. honest and kind B. generous and creative C. devoted and strict D. caring and responsible 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的Catia Lattouf de Arida作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者，她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟恢复健康上。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. (作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者，她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟恢复健康上。)”和第二段中“She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.(她设法护理古奇恢复健康，但她说是古奇救了她。为什么？因为蜂鸟成功地将她从占据她生活的悲伤和孤独中拉了出来。)”可知，Catia Lattouf de Arida救了蜂鸟，同时蜂鸟也把她从悲伤和孤独中拯救出来，由此可知，帮助别人就是在帮助我们自己，故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds.(她成功的消息在卡蒂亚的朋友们中传开，不久之后，他们中的一些人开始给她带来受伤的蜂鸟。)”和下文“She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.(为了更好地照顾它们，她开始研究蜂鸟和它们的习性，经过11年的经验，这位73岁的女士被认为是蜂鸟方面的专家)”可知，一些人给她带来受伤的蜂鸟，她应该是没有拒绝他们，接受了这些蜂鸟，因为下文提到她照顾这些蜂鸟，并开始研究它们的习性；由此可知，划线单词意为“拒绝”，与B项“Refuse. (拒绝)”意思一样，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. (为了提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识，卡蒂亚·拉图夫·德·阿里达开始在社交媒体上发布她在墨西哥城公寓中照顾这些蜂鸟的视频，其中许多视频广受欢迎。就在那时，对她的护理服务的需求真正爆发了。)”可知，在媒体上分享了这些鸟的视频后，Catia的护理服务量急剧增加，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. (这就是73岁的卡蒂亚·拉图夫·德·阿里达 (Catia Lattouf de Arida) 发挥作用的地方。作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者，她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟恢复健康上。)”可知，Catia很有爱心，根据最后一段中“In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. (为了提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识，卡蒂亚·拉图夫·德·阿里达开始在社交媒体上发布她在墨西哥城公寓中照顾这些蜂鸟的视频，其中许多视频广受欢迎。)”可知，她致力于提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识，这说明她很有责任心，故选D。 C Have you ever wondered about the layout of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, attracting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it. Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained that there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy choices like snacks and sodas, possibly increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases. There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is used across various shops.” “Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits. “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a shopping cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added. 8. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout? A. To show the designer’s wisdom. B. To save shoppers’ time. C. To increase non-essential purchases. D. To provide many goods for choice. 9. What would the store owner probably do to make more profits? A. Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly. B. Distribute junk food in different areas. C. Place junk food before essential items. D. Put the healthy foods together. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks. B. Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying. C. Shopping baskets are better than heavy shopping carts. D. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales. 11. Where is this text most likely from? A. A shopping guide. B. A psychology report. C. A research paper. D. A business magazine. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy choices like snacks and sodas, possibly increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.(与此同时，诸如牛奶和鸡蛋这类必需品被放置在商店的后部，以确保顾客在经过其他货架时会看到许多不健康的商品，比如零食和碳酸饮料，这可能会增加顾客冲动购买商品的可能性)”可知，超市布局的目的是促进非必要消费。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is used across various shops.”(里夫斯解释道：“他们很清楚，一旦你去那家店逛了几次，熟悉了商品的摆放位置，这些策略的效果就会大打折扣。所以他们会经常把商品移到不同的货架上，以此来迷惑你。这种做法并非仅限于某一家店铺，而是被广泛应用于各类商店中。”)”可知，为了提高利润，店主可能会定期重新安排超市的产品布局。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared.(另一方面，有些购物者则自豪地宣称自己从未陷入过这种陷阱。“这就是为什么我总是随身携带购物清单。”另一位购物者分享道)”可推知，带购物清单是避免冲动购物的明智之举。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered about the layout of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, attracting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.(你是否曾好奇过超市的布局设计？精明的设计师暗藏巧思，诱导你逛遍每一条货架，不知不觉就把购物车塞满了)”以及全文可知，文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。由此推知，文章可能选自一本商业杂志。故选D。 D “Reduce, reuse, recycle”, these are the three Rs that waste environmental activists have advocated (提倡). But how can we realize them? Recently, this idea came to life in China in a smart way at the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring scenic spot in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province. During the tourist season, the scenic spot of Dunhuang has been flooded with visitors — around 20, 000 a day since July. The challenge of managing waste has become more pressing. In response, the scenic area has introduced an initiative (倡议): “Trash hunt for gifts.” Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site. In return, they receive small gifts featuring Dunhuang’s rich cultural heritage. Inspired by the initiative, I thought, “Isn’t this another splendid form of the three Rs principle?” I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area, and seeing how littering is something we always have to struggle with. Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it also threatens the natural environment. Once I saw a family who had just arrived, eagerly filling their trash bags with litter. The children were excited to trade their collected trash for gifts, and their parents proudly explained how their small actions contributed to a cleaner, more enjoyable experience for everyone. This interaction created a sense of community and shared purpose among the visitors. The “Trash hunt for gifts” campaign (活动) does more than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitor into an environmental activist, taking an active part in preserving the beauty of the site. This concept is also not unique to Dunhuang. Similar initiatives are seen across China: in Jiangxi’s Wu-kung Mountain, in Northeast China’s Xi’an Lin Tong, all around. These efforts highlight a growing trend (趋势) where tourists don’t just visit — they contribute. As we continue to explore and enjoy these natural wonders, it’s encouraging to see that many are also stepping up to protect them. 12. Why has the initiative “Trash hunt for gifts” been introduced in Dunhuang’s scenic spot? A. To relieve the pressure of cleaning-up. B. To control the number of flooding tourists. C. To raise the awareness of wildlife protection. D. To promote the development of local economy. 13. Why does the author mention a family in the third paragraph? A. To explain how the initiative works. B. To show that his thought was wrong at first. C. To prove that the initiative is really a good idea. D. To highlight the good education given to the children. 14. Which is true according to the text? A. Dunhuang is not alone in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. B. Dunhuang takes the lead in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. C. Dunhuang is catching up in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. D. Dunhuang teams up with other places in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. 15. Which is the best title of the text? A. A promising step towards a shared future. B. A new rule on turning tourists into volunteers. C. Tourists not only visit but also contribute. D. Tourism full of both opportunities and challenges. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了敦煌鸣沙山月牙泉景区推出的“垃圾换礼品”倡议，通过激励游客参与垃圾清理，实现环保理念，并形成全国性趋势，说明环保倡议如何通过游客参与实现“减量、再利用、回收”，并强调其推广价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the tourist season, the scenic spot of Dunhuang has been flooded with visitors — around 20, 000 a day since July. The challenge of managing waste has become more pressing. In response, the scenic area has introduced an initiative: ‘Trash hunt for gifts.’  (旅游旺季期间，敦煌景区游客络绎不绝——自7月起，日均游客量已达约2万人次。垃圾处理的难题也随之变得愈发紧迫。为应对这一情况，景区推出了一项名为‘捡垃圾换礼品’的倡议。)”可知，景区推出“捡垃圾换礼品”倡议的目的是想要缓解垃圾清理工作的压力。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Inspired by the initiative, I thought, ‘Isn’t this another splendid form of the three Rs principle?’ I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area, and seeing how littering is something we always have to struggle with. Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it also threatens the natural environment. Once I saw a family who had just arrived, eagerly filling their trash bags with litter. The children were excited to trade their collected trash for gifts, and their parents proudly explained how their small actions contributed to a cleaner, more enjoyable experience for everyone. This interaction created a sense of community and shared purpose among the visitors. (受到这项倡议的启发，我不禁思考：‘这不正是环保三原则的又一绝佳实践形式吗？’我仍记得，以前去一些景区游玩时，尤其是在那些游客扎堆的历史景点，乱扔垃圾的现象屡见不鲜，让人头疼不已。乱扔垃圾不仅会破坏景区的整洁美观，更会对自然环境造成威胁。有一次，我看到一户刚入园的家庭，正兴致勃勃地把垃圾装满带来的垃圾袋。孩子们为能拿捡来的垃圾兑换礼品而兴奋不已，家长们也自豪地向孩子讲解，他们的小小举动，能为所有人营造一个更干净、更舒适的游览环境。这样的互动，让游客之间产生了一种集体归属感和共同的使命感。)”可知，第三段开头作者就点明这个倡议是环保三原则的绝佳体现，随后提到一家人积极捡垃圾换礼品的场景，及其产生的意义，由此可知提到这个家庭的例子是为了佐证该倡议的有效性和正面影响，证明它是个好主意。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This concept is also not unique to Dunhuang. Similar initiatives are seen across China (而且这一理念并非敦煌独有，在国内多地都能看到类似的举措)”可知，敦煌并不是唯一一个参与“捡垃圾换礼品”活动的城市。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The ‘Trash hunt for gifts’ campaign does more than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitor into an environmental activist, taking an active part in preserving the beauty of the site… These efforts highlight a growing trend where tourists don’t just visit— they contribute.  (‘捡垃圾换礼品’ 活动的意义，绝不仅仅是清洁景区环境。它让每一位游客都化身环保行动者，主动参与到守护景区美景的行列中。……这些实践也凸显出一种日益明显的趋势 —— 游客不再只是单纯的观光者，更是景区环境的贡献者。)”可知，文章核心是敦煌景区通过 “捡垃圾换礼品” 的倡议，让游客从单纯的观光者，变成参与景区环保的贡献者，选项C“游客们不仅是来观光游览，更是来贡献自己的一份力量。”能精准概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. ____16____ In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.

Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.” So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back? A. Allow space in your day for doing nothing. B. So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn? C. Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. D. Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea. E.

E 18. G 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究为切入点，指出英国49%的公众正受“爆米花大脑”（注意力分散、思绪飘忽的精神状态）困扰，随后心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针对该问题提出了思维导图法、思绪回归训练、减少科技使用、留白独处等四条实用解决建议。 【16题详解】 上文“According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing ‘popcorn (爆米花) brain’, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. (根据伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究，49%的英国公众正经历“爆米花大脑”，这种精神状态的特点是注意力分散、思绪飘忽。)”定义了“爆米花大脑”并说明其高发率，下文“In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. (针对这些发现，心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙给出了她的顶级建议。)”引出解决建议。F项“他们感觉自己的注意力不太集中，深度思考也更少见了。”承接上文，“they”指代前文“49% of the UK public”，“注意力不太集中”“深度思考少见”是对“注意力分散、思绪飘忽”的进一步阐释，让读者更清晰理解“爆米花大脑”的表现，衔接自然。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to-dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. (采用思维导图法。为了管理分心的大脑，先把所有事情都写下来，比如约会、担忧和待办事项，一开始不用整理。一旦所有事情都写在纸上，就把它们归类到工作、情感健康等生活领域。)”详细介绍了思维导图法的前两个步骤——记录和归类，下文“This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. (这能建立秩序，让你的大脑可以集中注意力。)”说明该方法的效果。E项“然后问问自己：现在什么重要，什么可以等一等？”作为思维导图法的第三步，承接前文的“记录和归类”流程，通过设问筛选优先级，进而实现下文“建立秩序、集中注意力”的效果，逻辑连贯。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. (每次你感觉思绪飘忽时，给自己三秒钟——吸气，说出你的感受，然后重新集中注意力。)”介绍了思绪回归训练的具体操作，下文“By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.” (通过这样做，当你的大脑过度运转时，你可能会降温。)”说明该训练的作用。G项“这种练习能让你慢下来，管理情绪。”解释了该训练的直接效果，“this practice”指代上文的三秒训练法，“慢下来”对应“吸气”的动作，“管理情绪”对应“说出你的感受”，且为下文“大脑降温”的深层效果做铺垫。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. (减少科技产品使用也是日常生活中回归正轨的关键。完全脱离数字产品是不现实的。)”提出减少科技使用的建议并指出完全脱离不现实，下文“Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. (然后可以给五分钟的屏幕使用时间作为奖励。)”说明后续的奖励机制。C项“相反，完全不使用屏幕25到30分钟。”通过“instead”承接上文“完全脱离不现实”，给出切实可行的替代方案——短时间不使用屏幕，“25到30分钟”与下文“五分钟奖励”形成时长搭配，构成“限制并奖励”的有效模式，逻辑清晰。故选C。 【20题详解】 下文“At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. (一开始，你可能会感到无聊，因为“爆米花大脑”喜欢一直“忙忙碌碌”才觉得安全。蒂娜建议：“不带音乐散步，或者只是盯着窗外。”“安静地坐着，观察自己的思绪。让你的大脑呼吸。”)”具体描述了“什么都不做”的放松方式及其意义。A项“在一天中留出时间什么都不做。”作为该段主题句，精准概括下文内容，“留出时间什么都不做”与下文“不带音乐散步”“安静坐着”等具体做法相呼应，符合段落主旨。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every morning, an old man sat still on his front steps, his blue eyes empty and sad.

I had two pots of beautiful flowers and I knew Carole liked flowers. However, the two pots of flowers were rare and I brought them from a forest very far away, which took me great effort. So, I hesitated. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky on one warm June morning when Carol e and I started out for a day of shopping. We had learned of a quilt (被子) shop which had unique quilts created by skilled women from a nearby company. Carole’s heart was set on finding a blue- and- white quilt to put the finishing touch on her guest bedroom. We parked the car next to the only traffic light in town, heading towards the quilt shop. But next door, a newly opened small store that sold pretty clothes, shoes, etc. attracted us. So we first walked into this store, where we admired the most wonderful collection of umbrella s we had ever seen. As I ran my fingers across one special umbrella, I heard myself whisper, “These are the most beautiful umbrellas...”I loved the items so much. A sales clerk hurried to my side. “Perhaps you’d like to try one of them out,” she suggested. I opened the attractive umbrella. Underneath it, I felt wonderfully carefree and sheltered from the whole world. But with new things to buy, there was no money for expensive umbrellas. Besides, even if I could afford one, it wouldn’t be a practical purchase. Back in the second grade, I had once eyed a beautiful, pink umbrella in a department store window. “I need a beautiful umbrella,” I said to my mother. “No, you need a practical umbrella,” she said. “Besides, you might lose it.” With tears in my eyes, I put down that pink umbrella! Coming back from my memory, I told the clerk, “Thanks for showing me the umbrella.” Then, I headed next door to the quilt shop, a few steps ahead of Carole. 注意：Ⅰ.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式作答。 When her steps caught up with mine, I noticed a long, thin box under her arm. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I took the umbrella sent by Carole and walked towards my flowers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When her steps caught up with mine, I noticed a long, thin box under her arm. “What’s that?” I asked, curious. Carole smiled mysteriously and handed me the box. “Open it,” she said. Inside was the very umbrella I had admired in the store. “Happy early birthday!” Carole exclaimed. I was speechless. “But… how did you know?” I stammered. “I saw the way you looked at it,” she replied. “I wanted to give you something special, just like you always do for me.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Carole. This means so much to me.” Back home, I took the umbrella sent by Carole and walked towards my flowers. I realized that the joy of giving was far greater than the effort it took to obtain those flowers. With a smile, I carefully dug up one of the pots and placed it in a beautiful gift bag. The next day, I visited Carole and handed her the bag. “Happy birthday, Carole,” I said. Her eyes lit up as she saw the rare flowers. “These are beautiful! Thank you so much!” she exclaimed. As we sat together, admiring our gifts, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for our friendship and the simple joys it brought into our lives. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者在购物时被一把漂亮的伞吸引，但因为不实用而放弃购买。Carole注意到了这一点，并在作者不知情的情况下买下了伞作为生日礼物送给作者。作者深受感动，决定将自己珍贵的花送给Carole作为回报。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她的脚步赶上我的脚步时，我注意到她腋下夹着一个又长又细的盒子。”可知，第一段可描写作者打开盒子后的反应和心情 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家，我拿着卡罗尔送的伞，走向我的花。”可知，第二段可描写作者给Carole送花的过程以及感悟。 2.续写线索：打开盒子——作者感动——送花——Carole很快乐——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug /embrace ②喜欢、羡慕：admire/ be crazy about ③放置：place /put ④获得：obtain/gain 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude /appreciate ②快乐：happiness/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we sat together, admiring our gifts, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for our friendship and the simple joys it brought into our lives.

B Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁) . She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds. In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds. 4. Which saying can best show the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. It is better to give than to take. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Helping others is helping ourselves. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. 5. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Expect. B. Refuse. C. Accept. D. Recognize 6. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed? A. When her friends heard about her success. B. When she was considered as a bird expert. C. After she shared the birds’ videos on the media. D. After she looked after a large number of the birds. 7. According to the text, Catia can be described as ________. A. honest and kind B. generous and creative C. devoted and strict D. caring and responsible C Have you ever wondered about the layout of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, attracting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it. Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained that there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy choices like snacks and sodas, possibly increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases. There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is used across various shops.” “Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits. “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a shopping cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added. 8. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout? A. To show the designer’s wisdom. B. To save shoppers’ time. C. To increase non-essential purchases. D. To provide many goods for choice. 9. What would the store owner probably do to make more profits? A. Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly. B. Distribute junk food in different areas. C. Place junk food before essential items. D. Put the healthy foods together. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks. B. Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying. C. Shopping baskets are better than heavy shopping carts. D. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales. 11. Where is this text most likely from? A. A shopping guide. B. A psychology report. C. A research paper. D. A business magazine. D “Reduce, reuse, recycle”, these are the three Rs that waste environmental activists have advocated (提倡). But how can we realize them? Recently, this idea came to life in China in a smart way at the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring scenic spot in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province. During the tourist season, the scenic spot of Dunhuang has been flooded with visitors — around 20, 000 a day since July. The challenge of managing waste has become more pressing. In response, the scenic area has introduced an initiative (倡议): “Trash hunt for gifts.” Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site. In return, they receive small gifts featuring Dunhuang’s rich cultural heritage. Inspired by the initiative, I thought, “Isn’t this another splendid form of the three Rs principle?” I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area, and seeing how littering is something we always have to struggle with. Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it also threatens the natural environment. Once I saw a family who had just arrived, eagerly filling their trash bags with litter. The children were excited to trade their collected trash for gifts, and their parents proudly explained how their small actions contributed to a cleaner, more enjoyable experience for everyone. This interaction created a sense of community and shared purpose among the visitors. The “Trash hunt for gifts” campaign (活动) does more than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitor into an environmental activist, taking an active part in preserving the beauty of the site. This concept is also not unique to Dunhuang. Similar initiatives are seen across China: in Jiangxi’s Wu-kung Mountain, in Northeast China’s Xi’an Lin Tong, all around. These efforts highlight a growing trend (趋势) where tourists don’t just visit — they contribute. As we continue to explore and enjoy these natural wonders, it’s encouraging to see that many are also stepping up to protect them. 12. Why has the initiative “Trash hunt for gifts” been introduced in Dunhuang’s scenic spot? A. To relieve the pressure of cleaning-up. B. To control the number of flooding tourists. C. To raise the awareness of wildlife protection. D. To promote the development of local economy. 13. Why does the author mention a family in the third paragraph? A. To explain how the initiative works. B. To show that his thought was wrong at first. C. To prove that the initiative is really a good idea. D. To highlight the good education given to the children. 14. Which is true according to the text? A. Dunhuang is not alone in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. B. Dunhuang takes the lead in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. C. Dunhuang is catching up in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. D. Dunhuang teams up with other places in the campaign “Trash hunt for gifts”. 15. Which is the best title of the text? A. A promising step towards a shared future. B. A new rule on turning tourists into volunteers. C. Tourists not only visit but also contribute. D. Tourism full of both opportunities and challenges. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. ____16____ In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.

I had two pots of beautiful flowers and I knew Carole liked flowers. However, the two pots of flowers were rare and I brought them from a forest very far away, which took me great effort. So, I hesitated. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky on one warm June morning when Carol e and I started out for a day of shopping. We had learned of a quilt (被子) shop which had unique quilts created by skilled women from a nearby company. Carole’s heart was set on finding a blue- and- white quilt to put the finishing touch on her guest bedroom. We parked the car next to the only traffic light in town, heading towards the quilt shop. But next door, a newly opened small store that sold pretty clothes, shoes, etc. attracted us. So we first walked into this store, where we admired the most wonderful collection of umbrella s we had ever seen. As I ran my fingers across one special umbrella, I heard myself whisper, “These are the most beautiful umbrellas...”I loved the items so much. A sales clerk hurried to my side. “Perhaps you’d like to try one of them out,” she suggested. I opened the attractive umbrella. Underneath it, I felt wonderfully carefree and sheltered from the whole world. But with new things to buy, there was no money for expensive umbrellas. Besides, even if I could afford one, it wouldn’t be a practical purchase. Back in the second grade, I had once eyed a beautiful, pink umbrella in a department store window. “I need a beautiful umbrella,” I said to my mother. “No, you need a practical umbrella,” she said. “Besides, you might lose it.” With tears in my eyes, I put down that pink umbrella! Coming back from my memory, I told the clerk, “Thanks for showing me the umbrella.” Then, I headed next door to the quilt shop, a few steps ahead of Carole. 注意：Ⅰ.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式作答。 When her steps caught up with mine, I noticed a long, thin box under her arm. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I took the umbrella sent by Carole and walked towards my flowers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
