Working out by yourself can be a blast if you find an activity that motivates you to get up and move. Below, we list the top 3 workout apps, followed by guidance on choosing the best one for your long-term health.
·Strava
Strava offers access to over 30 types of sports, making it perfect for those who love to cycle, hike, rock, run, or swim. One of its key features is that it collects and compares workout data from all users, allowing you to compete and see how you rank against others on the same stretch of road or trail. The free version offers plenty to get you started, but to unlock the full potential of Strava, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid membership ($79.99 per year). A 30-day trial is also available.
·Stretch It
Don’t let your assumptions about stretching mislead you — StretchIt includes some tough sessions that work your full body and might even leave you sweating. When you open the app each day, you know exactly what you’re supposed to do. A monthly membership is pricey at $19.99; the $159.99-per-year membership is a better deal. Take advantage of the seven-day free trial and try out some free sessions before you start paying.
·Apple Fitness+
The app allows you to create custom plans based on class duration, music preferences, trainers, and more. A free one-month trial is available, after which the cost is a reasonable $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. It also comes with an Apple One Premier subscription ($37.95 per month). If you use Apple’s Family Sharing, up to five family members can use the membership at no additional cost. If you purchase an Apple device, you can take advantage of Apple Fitness+ with a three-month trial.
Choose the app that fits your fitness goals, budget, and device-just click for more details.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that vacation is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little afraid on the first day of school as a result of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often revise classroom rules and school rules so that you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers (运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
24.The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A.start B.study C.find D.teach
25.The last paragraph mainly tell us about ________.
A.what to know about a new school B.how to prepare for a new school
C.what to do on your first day of school D.how to spend your first day of school
26.According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A.introduce yourself B.learn about the school rules
C.make new friends D.go over your new lessons
27.If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________.
A.nervous B.lucky C.happy D.exhausted
C
It is probably no surprise to you that stress is a major driver of illness. We urgently need simple and objective ways to study and measure it. The temperature of someone’s nose — most notably, on the tip — might be about to give us the answers we need.
Thermal (热的) cameras, usually used to show heat loss in buildings, are proving invaluable in medicine for tracking abnormal changes in body temperature related to conditions including infection and even cancer. Researchers are now also using thermal cameras to read people’s stress levels by mapping their temperature changes in their face.
Blood is constantly moving around our bodies through the widening and narrowing of vessels (血管) to control its flow. But blood flow gets redirected when we are stressed. The nervous system pushes blood towards our eyes and ears, resulting in less blood around the nose. This decrease in blood is spotted by a thermal camera as a drop in temperature. This effect has been named the “nasal dip”, and it is not unique to humans. It has been reported not only in adults and children, but also in some animals.
Used in combination with existing measures, thermal imaging could be a game changer for stress research. With no need for labs or machines, it can provide a way to continuously monitor without any physical contact with the person under evaluation.
In the very near future, we could check the temperature of our nose as a kind of biofeedback to help us understand and adjust our stress states. We could track stress in babies before they learn to speak, and in patients who struggle to communicate. We could detect harmful levels of stress in high pressure environments like emergency rooms, trading floors or even zoos.
28.What was thermal cameras commonly used for?
A.Reading people’s stress levels.
B.Identifying heat escape in buildings.
C.Monitoring blood flow in the human body.
D.Tracking abnormal body temperature changes.
29.What happens to the nose when people are stressed?
A.Its temperature rises. B.It changes shape slightly.
C.Blood flow to it decreases. D.It becomes more sensitive.
30.Why could thermal imaging be a game changer for stress research?
A.It can spot infections and cancers.
B.It offers accurate results with special machines.
C.It can provide constant and non-contact monitoring.
D.It can cure stress and anxiety by providing biofeedback.
31.What can be a suitable title?
A.Stress: A Major Cause of Illnesses
B.Thermal Cameras: From Building to Medicine
C.The Nasal Dip Phenomenon in Humans and Animals
D.The Nose Tip Temperature: A New Way to Measure Stress

A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century shows how they might react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.
The paper is authored by scientists Hal Whitehead and Luke Rendell, and their research addresses an age-old question: if whales are so smart, why did they hang around to be killed? The answer? They didn’t.
Using newly digitized whaling records detailing the hunting of sperm whales (抹香鲸) in the Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers’ tools fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to a shocking conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.
Before humans, orca (虎鲸) were sperm whales’ only hunters, against whom sperm whales form protective circles, their powerful tails held outwards to keep orca away. But such methods “just made it easier for the hunters to kill them,” says Whitehead.
It was a frighteningly rapid killing. Sperm whales are highly socialized animals, able to communicate over great distances. They also have the largest brain on the planet. It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them. Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships. “This was cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution,” says Whitehead.
Now, just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial damage, they face new threats. “They’re having to learn not to get hit by ships, adapt to the changing sources of their food due to climate change, and deal with noise pollution,” says Whitehead.
As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them. After all, it was the whales that inspired Herman Melville to produce Moby-Dick. “We account the whale immortal (永恒的) in his species, however short-lived in individuality,” he wrote, “and if ever the world is to be again flooded... then the whale will still survive…”
32.What is the focus of the new study?
A.How whales communicate with each other.
B.The impact of human activities on whale populations.
C.The evolution of whale species over millions of years.
D.How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19th century.
33.What caused the sharp drop in whalers’ successful strikes on sperm whales?
A.Whale numbers fell. B.Weather conditions worsened.
C.Whales changed their behaviour. D.Demands for whale products decreased.
34.What does “cultural evolution” mean in paragraph 5?
A.A slow process of change. B.Genetic changes over time.
C.Natural selection in the real world. D.Quick learning and adaptation.
35.What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph?
A.Humans should respect and learn from whales.
B.Whales have a deep connection with the ocean.
C.Whales can adapt to changing environment rapidly.
D.Whale culture is more advanced than human culture.

The population is aging rapidly, but the number of caregivers is declining. This creates a big question: who will take care of our grandparents?
The high cost of human care. For most families, paying for professional eldercare is far too expensive. 36 Many people wrongly think government programs will cover the cost, but they don’t.
The economic advantage of robots. A robot could be a more affordable option in the long run. 37 It wouldn’t get tired and could work 24 hours a day.
Solving the fear of loneliness. Some worry that robot caregivers would make the elderly feel lonely and isolated. 38 In fact, they could do the opposite. For example, a reliable robot could help them to be more social, not less.
Robots: more patient and empathetic (同理心)? Human caregivers, while preferable for real contact, can sometimes get angry or frustrated. 39 Surprisingly, a recent study found that AI-generated responses were often judged as more understanding than human ones.
A solution with new questions. The idea of using robots brings us to a final point. 40 While they offer a practical solution to the caregiving shortage, we must all think about the ethical questions they leave us with.
A.But this does not have to be the case.
B.However, robots are unlikely to have this problem.
C.Therefore, human contact should always be the first choice.
D.This technology could enhance social contact for the elderly.
E.This includes the cost of both the robot and its programming.
F.It would be a one-time purchase with low maintenance costs.
G.For instance, the cost for a home health aid can be over $75,000 a year.

When the winter approaches, tanghulu, a traditional Chinese snack can be found on the street corner in northern China. Since ancient times, it 56 (be) very popular with natives, especially children.
Tanghulu is 57 (common) made of haws (山楂果), which are rich in vitamin C and are known 58 (have) traditional Chinese medicinal properties. According to a legend, in Song dynasty, one of the emperor’s 59 (wife) was sick and had 60 poor appetite. The doctor suggested that she eat five to ten haws 61 (boil) with sugar before each meal. She recovered within half a month. Later, the prescription was passed on 62 ordinary people.
People put haws on a stick, dipped them in hot sugar syrup (糖浆) and dried. The syrup finally turned into a solid coating, like the crystal on the surface of haws. That is 63 they are also called bingtanghulu. 64 origin story says that the very first tanghulu only had two haws — a small one on the top and a big one below, making it resemble a hulu, a bringer of good luck.

67.阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Clara’s sketchbook (素描本) fell from her hands as her father’s loud voice filled the kitchen. “Stop this ‘artist’ dream and take the job at the law office! You think painting can pay for food and rent? It’s just a hobby, not a real job!” Arthur Hale was sad and angry — he’d started his building business from nothing, and all he wanted was a stable (稳定的) life for his daughter. Their home was filled with useful things: full bookshelves, a strong dining table, and no sign of Clara’s messy paints or half-done paintings.
Clara’s heart hurt. “It’s not just a dream, Dad. Painting is what I’m meant to do! I got into the Royal College of Art — this is my big chance!” Since she’d said no to the law job and accepted the art school offer, they’d hardly spoken nicely to each other. Arthur grew up poor, working two part-time jobs to finish trade school; he couldn’t understand why his daughter would choose such an unsure path. “Artists often go hungry, Clara,” he’d say again and again, his voice getting harder. “I won’t watch you struggle like I did.”
That night, Clara packed her sketchbooks and paints and moved into a small room near the art school. Although she painted late every night, her hands always covered with paints, she faced one “no” from galleries after another. Money was tight — she often skipped lunch to buy more canvas and paints. But what she didn’t know was that Arthur had been watching.
He’d drive by her building after work, making sure her window light was on. One evening, he even left a bag of fresh fruit and her favorite apple pie outside her door. But as time flew, neither of them decided to say sorry first.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After graduation, Clara held an art show successfully.

Working out by yourself can be a blast if you find an activity that motivates you to get up and move. Below, we list the top 3 workout apps, followed by guidance on choosing the best one for your long-term health.
·Strava
Strava offers access to over 30 types of sports, making it perfect for those who love to cycle, hike, rock, run, or swim. One of its key features is that it collects and compares workout data from all users, allowing you to compete and see how you rank against others on the same stretch of road or trail. The free version offers plenty to get you started, but to unlock the full potential of Strava, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid membership ($79.99 per year). A 30-day trial is also available.
·Stretch It
Don’t let your assumptions about stretching mislead you — StretchIt includes some tough sessions that work your full body and might even leave you sweating. When you open the app each day, you know exactly what you’re supposed to do. A monthly membership is pricey at $19.99; the $159.99-per-year membership is a better deal. Take advantage of the seven-day free trial and try out some free sessions before you start paying.
·Apple Fitness+
The app allows you to create custom plans based on class duration, music preferences, trainers, and more. A free one-month trial is available, after which the cost is a reasonable $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. It also comes with an Apple One Premier subscription ($37.95 per month). If you use Apple’s Family Sharing, up to five family members can use the membership at no additional cost. If you purchase an Apple device, you can take advantage of Apple Fitness+ with a three-month trial.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that vacation is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little afraid on the first day of school as a result of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often revise classroom rules and school rules so that you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers (运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
24.The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A.start B.study C.find D.teach
25.The last paragraph mainly tell us about ________.
A.what to know about a new school B.how to prepare for a new school
C.what to do on your first day of school D.how to spend your first day of school
26.According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A.introduce yourself B.learn about the school rules
C.make new friends D.go over your new lessons
27.If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________.
A.nervous B.lucky C.happy D.exhausted
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.D 27.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了学生到了新的学校在一个陌生的环境里怎样度过新学年的第一天。文中叙述了在第一天学生应该作自我介绍,了解学校的校规校纪,结交一些新朋友。为了迎接新学年的第一天文中还提到了在开学的前一天,要把自己的东西都准备好。
24.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year(新学年伊始,他们将进行自我介绍,并畅谈你们在这一年里将要做的一切)”可知在新学年大家都不认识,互相作介绍,所以推测是教师工作的开始。故划线词意思是“开始”。故选A项。
25.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers (运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.(见到久违的朋友会让第一天变得美好。你可以穿上自己真正喜欢的衣服,让这一天变得特别。也许你在某次度假时得到了一件很棒的T恤,或者一双运动鞋。做好准备,带上所有你需要的东西,比如铅笔、文件夹和其他任何你需要的东西,也会让你感觉良好。但一定要在前一天晚上把它们都收拾好,以防早上没有时间)”可知本段主要告诉学生开学前的一天要把东西都收拾好。故选B项。
26.细节理解题。根据第二段“Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often revise classroom rules and school rules so that you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not.(有些老师也会给学生一个机会,让他们向全班同学介绍自己。在第一天老师讲话时,他们通常会重申课堂规则和校规,以便你知道哪些行为是被允许的,哪些是不被允许的)”和第三段“You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t.(开学第一天,你可能已经认识了很多班上的同学,但今天也是结交新朋友的好日子,所以试着跟你认识和不认识的孩子都打个招呼吧)”可知在开学的第一天学生要作自我介绍,了解学校的规章制度和结交一些新朋友,故选D项。
27.推理判断题。根据第一段“Some kids feel nervous or a little afraid on the first day of school as a result of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school.(有些孩子在开学第一天会因为面对诸多新事物而感到紧张或稍有害怕:新老师、新朋友,甚至还有新学校)”可知到了一个陌生的环境,大多数学生是紧张和害怕的,可以推测当遇到老朋友时可能是高兴地,故选C项。

It is probably no surprise to you that stress is a major driver of illness. We urgently need simple and objective ways to study and measure it. The temperature of someone’s nose — most notably, on the tip — might be about to give us the answers we need.
Thermal (热的) cameras, usually used to show heat loss in buildings, are proving invaluable in medicine for tracking abnormal changes in body temperature related to conditions including infection and even cancer. Researchers are now also using thermal cameras to read people’s stress levels by mapping their temperature changes in their face.
Blood is constantly moving around our bodies through the widening and narrowing of vessels (血管) to control its flow. But blood flow gets redirected when we are stressed. The nervous system pushes blood towards our eyes and ears, resulting in less blood around the nose. This decrease in blood is spotted by a thermal camera as a drop in temperature. This effect has been named the “nasal dip”, and it is not unique to humans. It has been reported not only in adults and children, but also in some animals.
Used in combination with existing measures, thermal imaging could be a game changer for stress research. With no need for labs or machines, it can provide a way to continuously monitor without any physical contact with the person under evaluation.
In the very near future, we could check the temperature of our nose as a kind of biofeedback to help us understand and adjust our stress states. We could track stress in babies before they learn to speak, and in patients who struggle to communicate. We could detect harmful levels of stress in high pressure environments like emergency rooms, trading floors or even zoos.
28.What was thermal cameras commonly used for?
A.Reading people’s stress levels.
B.Identifying heat escape in buildings.
C.Monitoring blood flow in the human body.
D.Tracking abnormal body temperature changes.
29.What happens to the nose when people are stressed?
A.Its temperature rises. B.It changes shape slightly.
C.Blood flow to it decreases. D.It becomes more sensitive.
30.Why could thermal imaging be a game changer for stress research?
A.It can spot infections and cancers.
B.It offers accurate results with special machines.
C.It can provide constant and non-contact monitoring.
D.It can cure stress and anxiety by providing biofeedback.
31.What can be a suitable title?
A.Stress: A Major Cause of Illnesses
B.Thermal Cameras: From Building to Medicine
C.The Nasal Dip Phenomenon in Humans and Animals
D.The Nose Tip Temperature: A New Way to Measure Stress
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.C 31.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了热成像技术可通过监测鼻尖温度变化来衡量压力水平,该方法无创便捷且应用前景广阔。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Thermal (热的) cameras, usually used to show heat loss in buildings, are proving invaluable in medicine for tracking abnormal changes in body temperature related to conditions including infection and even cancer. (热成像摄像机通常被用于检测建筑物的热量流失情况,如今在医学领域也证明了其重要价值,可用于追踪与感染甚至癌症等病症相关的体温异常变化)”可知,热成像摄像机的常见用途是检测建筑物的热量流失。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But blood flow gets redirected when we are stressed. The nervous system pushes blood towards our eyes and ears, resulting in less blood around the nose. (但当我们感到压力时,血液流动会发生转移。神经系统会将血液输送到眼部和耳部,导致鼻部的血液供应减少)”可知,人处于压力状态时,流向鼻子的血液会减少。故选C项。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Used in combination with existing measures, thermal imaging could be a game changer for stress research. With no need for labs or machines, it can provide a way to continuously monitor without any physical contact with the person under evaluation. (与现有检测手段结合使用时,热成像技术可能会彻底改变压力研究的格局。该技术无需实验室或复杂设备,能够以无身体接触的方式对受测者进行持续监测)”可知,热成像技术能成为压力研究领域突破性进展的原因是它可以实现持续且无接触的监测。故选C项。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中的“The temperature of someone’s nose — most notably, on the tip — might be about to give us the answers we need. (人的鼻子温度——尤其是鼻尖的温度——或许即将为我们提供我们需要的答案)”可知,文章开篇点明核心观点——鼻尖温度或可成为衡量压力的新方式,后续段落围绕热成像技术的原理、优势及应用前景展开。由此可知,全文都在围绕“鼻尖温度作为压力测量新方法”这一主题。因此“The Nose Tip Temperature: A New Way to Measure Stress(鼻尖温度:一种测量压力的新方法)”概括了文章的主题,最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
D
A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century shows how they might react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.
The paper is authored by scientists Hal Whitehead and Luke Rendell, and their research addresses an age-old question: if whales are so smart, why did they hang around to be killed? The answer? They didn’t.
Using newly digitized whaling records detailing the hunting of sperm whales (抹香鲸) in the Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers’ tools fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to a shocking conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.
Before humans, orca (虎鲸) were sperm whales’ only hunters, against whom sperm whales form protective circles, their powerful tails held outwards to keep orca away. But such methods “just made it easier for the hunters to kill them,” says Whitehead.
It was a frighteningly rapid killing. Sperm whales are highly socialized animals, able to communicate over great distances. They also have the largest brain on the planet. It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them. Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships. “This was cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution,” says Whitehead.
Now, just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial damage, they face new threats. “They’re having to learn not to get hit by ships, adapt to the changing sources of their food due to climate change, and deal with noise pollution,” says Whitehead.
As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them. After all, it was the whales that inspired Herman Melville to produce Moby-Dick. “We account the whale immortal (永恒的) in his species, however short-lived in individuality,” he wrote, “and if ever the world is to be again flooded... then the whale will still survive…”
32.What is the focus of the new study?
A.How whales communicate with each other.
B.The impact of human activities on whale populations.
C.The evolution of whale species over millions of years.
D.How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19th century.
33.What caused the sharp drop in whalers’ successful strikes on sperm whales?
A.Whale numbers fell. B.Weather conditions worsened.
C.Whales changed their behaviour. D.Demands for whale products decreased.
34.What does “cultural evolution” mean in paragraph 5?
A.A slow process of change. B.Genetic changes over time.
C.Natural selection in the real world. D.Quick learning and adaptation.
35.What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph?
A.Humans should respect and learn from whales.
B.Whales have a deep connection with the ocean.
C.Whales can adapt to changing environment rapidly.
D.Whale culture is more advanced than human culture.
【答案】32.D 33.C 34.D 35.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于 19 世纪抹香鲸如何应对人类捕杀的新研究,揭示了鲸鱼通过社会学习快速改变行为以适应环境威胁的能力,并呼吁人类向鲸鱼学习。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century shows how they might react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.( 一项关于鲸鱼在19世纪受到人类攻击时的行为的新研究表明,它们可能会对21世纪人类造成的变化做出反应。)”可知,这项新研究的重点是 19 世纪鲸鱼在受到人类攻击时的行为反应。故选D项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“Using newly digitized whaling records detailing the hunting of sperm whales (抹香鲸) in the Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers’ tools fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to a shocking conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.( 利用最新的数字化捕鲸记录,详细记录了太平洋上抹香鲸的捕杀情况,作者发现,在短短几年内,捕鲸者的工具撞击率下降了58%。这个简单的事实导致了一个令人震惊的结论:关于发生在它们身上的事情的信息被鲸鱼集体分享,它们对自己的行为做出了根本性的改变。)”可知,捕鲸者的捕获率下降是因为鲸鱼之间共享了信息,并对行为做出了根本性的改变。故选C项。
34.词句猜测题。根据第五段中“It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them. Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships.( 不难想象,他们明白发生在他们身上的事情。鲸鱼放弃了惯常的队形,迎风游动,躲避猎人的风力船。)”可知,鲸鱼放弃了原来的防御阵型,改为逆风游动以躲避风力驱动的船只。怀特黑德说这是“cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution”(文化进化,比基因进化快得多)。这里的“文化进化”指的是鲸鱼通过社会学习(互相交流经验)快速适应环境变化的过程,而不是生物基因上的改变。故选D项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them.( 正如怀特黑德所观察到的,鲸鱼文化比我们的文明早了数百万年。)”以及引用梅尔维尔的话强调鲸鱼的生命力和永恒性,作者的意图是表达人类应该尊重鲸鱼,并从它们身上学习。故选A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。
The population is aging rapidly, but the number of caregivers is declining. This creates a big question: who will take care of our grandparents?
The high cost of human care. For most families, paying for professional eldercare is far too expensive. 36 Many people wrongly think government programs will cover the cost, but they don’t.
The economic advantage of robots. A robot could be a more affordable option in the long run. 37 It wouldn’t get tired and could work 24 hours a day.
Solving the fear of loneliness. Some worry that robot caregivers would make the elderly feel lonely and isolated. 38 In fact, they could do the opposite. For example, a reliable robot could help them to be more social, not less.
Robots: more patient and empathetic (同理心)? Human caregivers, while preferable for real contact, can sometimes get angry or frustrated. 39 Surprisingly, a recent study found that AI-generated responses were often judged as more understanding than human ones.
A solution with new questions. The idea of using robots brings us to a final point. 40 While they offer a practical solution to the caregiving shortage, we must all think about the ethical questions they leave us with.
A.But this does not have to be the case.
B.However, robots are unlikely to have this problem.
C.Therefore, human contact should always be the first choice.
D.This technology could enhance social contact for the elderly.
E.This includes the cost of both the robot and its programming.
F.It would be a one-time purchase with low maintenance costs.
G.For instance, the cost for a home health aid can be over $75,000 a year.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或所给单词的正确形式。
When the winter approaches, tanghulu, a traditional Chinese snack can be found on the street corner in northern China. Since ancient times, it 56 (be) very popular with natives, especially children.
Tanghulu is 57 (common) made of haws (山楂果), which are rich in vitamin C and are known 58 (have) traditional Chinese medicinal properties. According to a legend, in Song dynasty, one of the emperor’s 59 (wife) was sick and had 60 poor appetite. The doctor suggested that she eat five to ten haws 61 (boil) with sugar before each meal. She recovered within half a month. Later, the prescription was passed on 62 ordinary people.
People put haws on a stick, dipped them in hot sugar syrup (糖浆) and dried. The syrup finally turned into a solid coating, like the crystal on the surface of haws. That is 63 they are also called bingtanghulu. 64 origin story says that the very first tanghulu only had two haws — a small one on the top and a big one below, making it resemble a hulu, a bringer of good luck.
With sour haws and sweet sugar, the taste of tanghulu is a combination of flavors, which often 65 (remind) people of their happy childhoods.
【答案】
56.has been 57.commonly 58.to have 59.wives 60.a 61.boiled 62.to 63.why 64.Another 65.reminds
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国传统小吃糖葫芦的制作原料、历史渊源以及口味特点。
56.考查时态。句意:自古以来,它就很受当地人,尤其是孩子们的欢迎。根据“Since ancient times”可知,时态用现在完成时,主语it是第三人称单数,助动词用has,谓语用has been。故填has been。
57.考查副词。句意:糖葫芦通常由山楂制成,山楂富含维生素C,具有传统的中药特性。修饰动词made,应用副词commonly“通常”,作状语。故填commonly。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:糖葫芦通常由山楂制成,山楂富含维生素C,具有传统的中药特性。be known to do sth.是固定短语,意为“以做某事而闻名”,本空应用have的不定式to have。故填to have。
59.考查名词复数。句意:据传说,在宋朝,皇帝的一位妃子生病了,食欲不振。one of后应用名词复数,本空用wife“妻子”的复数形式。故填wives。
60.考查冠词。句意:据传说,在宋朝,皇帝的一位妻子生病了,食欲不振。此处泛指“一个糟糕的食欲”,且poor的发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:医生建议她每顿饭前吃五到十个用糖煮的山楂。本空修饰名词haws,作后置定语,haws与boil“煮”之间是被动关系,用过去分词boiled,故填boiled。
62.考查介词。句意:后来,这个处方传给了普通人。pass on to意为“传给”,为固定搭配,to为介词。故填to。
63.考查表语从句。句意:这就是为什么它们也被称为冰糖葫芦。本空引导表语从句,表示“为什么”用why,引导表语从句。故填why。
64.考查形容词。句意:另一个起源故事说,最初的糖葫芦只有两个山楂 —— 上面一个小的,下面一个大的,形状像葫芦,葫芦是好运的象征。本句指“另一个”起源故事,another表示“三者或三者以上中的另一个”,位于句首首字母大写,故填Another。
65.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:糖葫芦的味道是酸山楂和甜糖的结合,这种味道常常让人们想起他们快乐的童年。根据often可知,时态用一般现在时,主语which指代先行词taste,为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数reminds表示“使想起”。故填reminds。

67.阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Clara’s sketchbook (素描本) fell from her hands as her father’s loud voice filled the kitchen. “Stop this ‘artist’ dream and take the job at the law office! You think painting can pay for food and rent? It’s just a hobby, not a real job!” Arthur Hale was sad and angry — he’d started his building business from nothing, and all he wanted was a stable (稳定的) life for his daughter. Their home was filled with useful things: full bookshelves, a strong dining table, and no sign of Clara’s messy paints or half-done paintings.
Clara’s heart hurt. “It’s not just a dream, Dad. Painting is what I’m meant to do! I got into the Royal College of Art — this is my big chance!” Since she’d said no to the law job and accepted the art school offer, they’d hardly spoken nicely to each other. Arthur grew up poor, working two part-time jobs to finish trade school; he couldn’t understand why his daughter would choose such an unsure path. “Artists often go hungry, Clara,” he’d say again and again, his voice getting harder. “I won’t watch you struggle like I did.”
That night, Clara packed her sketchbooks and paints and moved into a small room near the art school. Although she painted late every night, her hands always covered with paints, she faced one “no” from galleries after another. Money was tight — she often skipped lunch to buy more canvas and paints. But what she didn’t know was that Arthur had been watching.
He’d drive by her building after work, making sure her window light was on. One evening, he even left a bag of fresh fruit and her favorite apple pie outside her door. But as time flew, neither of them decided to say sorry first.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After graduation, Clara held an art show successfully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Clara decided it was time to show her father her achievement.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
After graduation, Clara held an art show successfully. It was a small but warm exhibition in a nice downtown gallery, filled with her paintings. Every brushstroke showed how hard she’d tried: the late nights she spent painting, and the hope that kept her going when galleries said no. Visitors stopped to look at her works, saying nice things about the “real feeling” in her pieces. By the end of the first day, three paintings had been sold, and a local art writer said her work was “true to herself”. Clara looked at the empty places on the walls, her heart feeling full. She knew there was one person she wanted to share this with.
Clara decided it was time to show her father her achievement. She printed a photo of her sold paintings and drove to his house. Her hands were a little shaky as she knocked. Arthur opened the door, and his eyes softened when he saw her. He took the photo, staring at the paintings for a long while. “I’m sorry I didn’t see how much this means to you,” he said gently. Clara hugged him tightly, tears warm on her cheeks. Love, she realized, isn’t about forcing a path, but about supporting someone’s dream — just as her father had done, quietly and steadily, all along.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Clara不顾父亲反对坚持追求艺术梦想,在经历诸多困难后成功举办画展,最终决定向父亲展示自己成就的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“毕业后,Clara成功举办了一场艺术展。” 可知,第一段可描写画展的规模氛围、画作展现的付出、观众评价及画作售出的收获,凸显 Clara 的努力有了回报。
②由第二段首句内容“Clara决定是时候向父亲展示她的成就了。” 可知,第二段可描写 Clara 主动找父亲、父女见面的场景、父亲看到成就后的态度转变、两人道歉和解,点明亲情与梦想的主旨。
2.续写线索:毕业办画展——画展获认可——画作售出——决定分享给父亲——登门展示成就——父女和解懂亲情
3.词汇积累
行为类
①驻足观看:stop to look at /pause to admire /stand still to gaze at
②敲门:knock/rap on the door/give a knock
③紧紧拥抱:hug him tightly/embrace him closely/give him a tight hug
情绪类
①希望:hope/aspiration
②温柔地:gently/softly/tenderly
【点睛】【高分句型1】By the end of the first day, three paintings had been sold, and a local art writer said her work was “true to herself”.(运用了that引导的宾语从句,that被省略)
【高分句型2】Arthur opened the door, and his eyes softened when he saw her.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句)
