A. The first color looked bad on her. B. She wanted a special color. C. The dress was dirty. 【答案】A 【解析】 【原文】M: Wow, I love the dress. W: Thanks. The color is a bit of a happy accident. First it was hot pink, which made my face look like a tomato, so I experimented with some blue. It’s pretty unique, right? 2. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man imply about the store’s sale? A. The discounts aren’t real. B. The selection is limited. C. The prices are still high. 【答案】A 【解析】 【原文】W: Look at this sign — “Up to 50% off everything!” Should we go in? M: I’ve been to these “store-wide” sales before. Usually, only a few old styles are deeply discounted to get you in the door. Most things are maybe 10% off. It’s a marketing trick. W: Oh, that’s disappointing. Maybe we’ll just window-shop then. 3. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman probably do? A. Reduce her meat consumption. B. Start growing her own vegetables. C. Research sustainable seafood. 【答案】A 【解析】 【原文】M: I watched a documentary about the environmental impact of industrial meat farming. It’s pretty shocking. W: I know, I’ve been thinking about that too. I’m not ready to go fully vegetarian, but I’ve started having a couple of meat-free days each week. It feels like a manageable first step, and I’m discovering some great vegetable-based recipes. M: That’s a great approach. Every bit helps. 4. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers mainly discussing? A. A homework assignment. B A weekend plan. C. A class presentation. 【答案】C 【解析】 【原文】M: I’m so nervous about our history presentation next Monday. Have you and Lisa decided on your topic? W: Yes, we’re doing ours on the Industrial Revolution. How about you and Mark? M: We’re focusing on World War I. We still need to divide up the slides. W: You should meet tonight. There’s not much time left. 5. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man’s opinion about the new policy? A. It is well-intentioned but flawed. B. It will greatly benefit the environment. C. It places an unfair burden on customers. 【答案】A 【解析】 【原文】W: Express packages now have a fee for insulated packaging to reduce waste. M: I support the environmental goal. But paying extra to ensure my frozen food arrives safely? Shouldn’t that be part of the basic service we already pay for? W: Exactly. It feels like a new way to increase revenue under a green banner. 第二节(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后， 各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 6. What is the woman’s criticism of “foodie culture”? A. It prioritizes appearance over taste. B. It makes dining too expensive. C. It discourages home cooking. 7. How does the man defend posting food photos? A. It helps remember good meals. B. It supports local restaurants. C. It is a form of artistic expression. 【答案】6. A 7. B 【解析】 【原文】M: You never take pictures of your food before eating. Don’t you want to share it? W: Honestly, the whole “foodie” thing on social media sometimes feels performative. People seem more focused on getting the perfect shot for likes than on actually enjoying the meal and the company. The food often gets cold! M: I see your point but I disagree. For me, taking a photo is part of the experience. It’s like capturing a memory. And sometimes, sharing a great dish from a small restaurant can really help them out. W: Okay, when you put it that way, it’s not all bad. I just hate the pressure to “document” everything. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 8. What is the woman’s criticism of the travel guidebook? A. It is outdated. B. It is too opinionated. C. It lacks practical details. 9. What does the man find most valuable about online reviews? A. Recent photos. B. Price comparisons. C. Personal experiences. 【答案】8. A 9. C 【解析】 【原文】M: Are you using that famous travel guide for your Japan trip planning? W: I bought it, but honestly, it’s gathering dust. It was published three years ago, and so many recommendations — especially for restaurants and cafes — are already closed or completely changed. For up-to-date info, I’m relying entirely on travel blogs and recent reviews on sites. M: Same here. I find personal blogs and video reviews give you a much better sense of what a place is really like right now. The photos in guidebooks are always so perfect and staged. W: Exactly! I want to see the crowded train station at rush hour and the real portion sizes at a local noodle shop, not just glossy professional shots. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 10. What are the speakers mainly talking about? A. The aging population. B. Choices of restaurants. C. Working conditions. 11. What does the woman think of eating out? A. It’s unhealthy. B.

M: Why don’t you and your friends go out for a meal? W: You’re joking. Do you think young people can afford that? Eating out is for old people these days. M: You mean it’s old-fashioned? W: No, I mean old people are the only ones who can afford to do it. M: I have to admit most of the people I see in restaurants are older. W: It’s a problem. The population is aging and the older generation tends to have more money. M: I suppose you’re right. W: Older people have paid off their debts and can enjoy themselves but the young don’t always have that luxury. M: What can be done about it? W: This is a global issue. Countries worldwide are raising retirement ages to keep people working longer because there aren’t enough young workers. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 13.

B 16. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Look at the note on the fridge. It must be from Mom. M: Let me see. Mom said she got a call from our grandpa this morning, because something had come up at his house. She didn’t have time to cook breakfast. Besides, she wanted us to do housework. W: No problem. The summer vacation started yesterday, so you don’t have to deal with schoolwork. As for me, I don’t need to go to my flower shop, because it is being decorated and won’t reopen until next week. Therefore, we’re both free today. M: OK. Let’s share the housework now. I’ll mop the floor and take out the garbage. I leave the laundry and window cleaning to you. W: OK. You’ve been having back pain lately, so I’ll also take care of mopping the floor. What about grocery shopping? M: We can walk to the nearby grocery store when we’re done. W: It is closed these days, so Mom has to drive to the far market. But she drove the car to our grandpa’s house today. M: It’s simple. Let’s take the bus. W: Good idea. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. When will the fire arrive close to Lakewood? A.

B 【解析】 【原文】 This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. This is mostly because of a strong wind coming from the west. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately. Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We can not take any chances. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. And we have been given permission to use force to remove anyone who has not left the area on their own. This is for your own safety. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please call 1800-StaySafe or visit www.firesafety.com. This has been an announcement from the Lakewood Public Address System. 二部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A World Health Organization(WHO)acknowledges the needs for a strong workforce to achieve the vision of improving the health and well-being of people everywhere.

However, Lena, a 20-year-old American college student, views them in a unique way. To her, each character has its own story. She pictures“ren”(person) as a cat’s face, and “ceng” (once) as an angry robot. Lena gained popularity when she spent only 30 minutes drawing “ceng” and posted it on rednote (or Xiaohongshu). Amazingly, this simple drawing got 40,000 likes overnight. Now, her creative artworks raise discussions about language, art, and cultural exchange. Growing up in a diverse community with many Asians, Lena was surrounded by different languages and cultures. “As a child, I had Chinese friends. I was fascinated by seeing their names on lunch boxes. This language was so new to me, completely different from Western languages,” Lena remembered. This early curiosity remained with her and reappeared in college during a US-China relations course, which deepened her interest in modern Chinese culture. Deep in rednote, Lena noticed more characters that looked like various objects. She describes herself as imaginative and highly perceptive, often spotting details others miss. Besides drawing, Lena translates all her posts into Chinese to show respect to her followers. Her efforts have helped her make Chinese friends online, chatting about daily life and food. Some followers said Lena understands the beauty of Chinese characters better than many Chinese. “It’s because you’re used to them,” Lena replied, adding the opposite is also true. For example, she learned from Chinese friends that “orz” looks like a person bowing in apology, but it means nothing in English. “It’s something I never thought of. That’s the result of a non-native looking at unfamiliar characters,” she said. As Lena plans to share more character-inspired art on rednote, her story shows a truth: language is more than words; it’s about connection and understanding the world from others’ perspectives. 24. How did Lena become popular on rednote? A. By posting creative drawings of Chinese characters. B. By translating English articles into Chinese. C. By sharing her daily life in China. D. By having online chats with Chinese netizens. 25. What deepened Lena’s interest in modern Chinese culture? A. Her Chinese friends. B. Using rednote. C. A US-China relations course. D. Drawing Chinese characters. 26. Why did Lena mention the example“orz”? A. To show non-natives’ unique views. B. To prove followers’ over-praise. C. To explain learning difficulty. D. To analyze grammar differences. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Lena gains popularity on campus. B. Creative characters bridge language and culture. C. Diverse background increases Lena’s interest. D. Chinese characters: more than simple symbols. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述美国大学生莉娜以独特创意将汉字画成趣味图案走红小红书，通过创作与翻译促进语言艺术交流，展现语言的联结价值。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lena gained popularity when she spent only 30 minutes drawing “ceng” and posted it on rednote (or Xiaohongshu). Amazingly, this simple drawing got 40,000 likes overnight. (莉娜仅用30分钟画出“曾”字并发布到小红书上后走红。令人惊讶的是，这幅简单的画作一夜之间获得了4万个赞。)”可知，莉娜通过发布创意汉字绘画在小红书走红。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This early curiosity remained with her and reappeared in college during a US-China relations course, which deepened her interest in modern Chinese culture.(这种早期的好奇心一直伴随着她，并在大学期间的一门中美关系课程中再次浮现，这加深了她对现代中国文化的兴趣。)”可知，中美关系课程加深了莉娜对现代中国文化的兴趣。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“ For example, she learned from Chinese friends that “orz” looks like a person bowing in apology, but it means nothing in English. “It’s something I never thought of.That’s the result of a non-native looking at unfamiliar characters.(例如，她从中国朋友那里了解到，“orz”看起来像一个人在鞠躬道歉，但在英语中它没有任何意义。“这是我从未想过的。这是非母语者看待不熟悉字符的结果，”她说。)”可知，莉娜提到“orz”的例子是为了说明非母语者对语言的独特视角。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“As Lena plans to share more character-inspired art on rednote, her story shows a truth: language is more than words; it’s about connection and understanding the world from others’ perspectives. (随着Lena计划在小红书上分享更多以汉字为灵感的艺术作品，她的故事揭示了一个真理：语言不仅仅是文字，它关乎建立联系，以及从他人的视角理解世界。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Lena通过创意汉字画作连接语言和文化的故事，体现了创意汉字在语言和文化交流中的桥梁作用，“创意汉字连接语言与文化”准确概括了文章主旨。故选B项。 C I am a female scientist. Years ago, a senior scientist met with me to talk about a big research project for which I had just received funding. I was both excited and nervous. He didn’t think I was prepared, and proposed I hand off a major section of the project to him. He meant well and his warnings sounded serious.But I had learned to manage how I react to such situations, partly through years of open-water swimming. Two decades earlier when I was in college, I had an encounter with a shark. I was swimming in the ocean with a friend when the shark suddenly appeared, heading straight toward us. As it approached, I watched helplessly as my friend splashed (使飞溅) the water in front of it. It moved to the side as if surprised, then circled around us and disappeared. I felt small and afraid, like a tourist who didn’t belong. This feeling followed me into my early career. Despite completing my Ph. D. and being hired as a scientist at a national lab, I never truly believed I belonged. When senior scientists challenged my work, my response was: Swim away from the creature threatening me. But I never stopped open-water swimming. For years, I routinely swam at my local pool until it was forced to close. I started to spend my early mornings hiking for 30 minutes in the dark so I could swim in a lake. I hated feeling cold, but it was during those mornings that I became an open-water swimmer in my own mind, and realized I didn’t have to quit doing something even if it sounded worrying and uncomfortable. This transformation shaped my response to the senior scientist. During a frank conversation, I told him my plans to lead the project, and he ended up cutting ties with the work. I moved forward with my team,through uncertainty and into something hard and beautiful. 28. What did the senior scientist do to the author regarding the big project? A. Deny her competence. B. Question her readiness. C. Challenge her authority. D. Remove her qualification. 29. How did the author react to challenges in her early career? A. She defended her position firmly. B. She sought help from others. C. She distanced herself from conflicts. D. She ignored them completely. 30. What mindset did the author develop during the morning swims? A. Breaking out of set patterns. B. Going beyond the boundaries. C. Wrestling with the unknown. D. Being determined despite unease. 31. What does the shark encounter symbolize in the text? A. A danger in open-water swimming. B. A turning point in the career path. C. The fear of professional challenges. D. The uncertainty of scientific inquiry. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。女科学家曾遇鲨鱼心生恐惧，早期职场遇挑战会逃避，后从晨泳中习得坚持，最终顶住质疑、独立主导了科研项目。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was both excited and nervous. He didn’t think I was prepared, and proposed I hand off a major section of the project to him.(我当时既兴奋又紧张。他认为我准备得不够充分，并提议让我把项目的一个重要部分交给他负责)”可知，这位资深科学家质疑作者是否做好了准备。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When senior scientists challenged my work, my response was: Swim away from the creature threatening me.(当资深科学家质疑我的研究成果时，我的回应是：远离那威胁我的“怪物”)”可知，作者在职业生涯早期选择远离冲突。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I hated feeling cold, but it was during those mornings that I became an open-water swimmer in my own mind, and realized I didn’t have to quit doing something even if it sounded worrying and uncomfortable.(我讨厌寒冷的感觉，但正是在那些寒冷的早晨里，我开始在自己的脑海中想象自己成为一名野外水域游泳者，并且意识到即便某件事听起来令人担忧且令人不适，我也不必放弃去做)”可知，作者养成了尽管感到不安但仍保持坚定的决心的心态。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I felt small and afraid, like a tourist who didn’t belong. This feeling followed me into my early career. Despite completing my Ph. D. and being hired as a scientist at a national lab, I never truly believed I belonged. When senior scientists challenged my work, my response was: Swim away from the creature threatening me.(我感到自己渺小又胆怯，就像一个格格不入游客。这种感觉一直伴随着我步入职业生涯的初期。即便我完成了博士学业，并在一家国家级实验室担任了科学家一职，但我始终没有真正相信自己是属于这里的。当资深科学家质疑我的研究成果时，我的回应是：远离那威胁我的“怪物”)”以及作者将遭遇鲨鱼时的恐惧，类比到早期职业生涯中面对专业挑战时的心理——觉得自己“不属于”科研领域，面对质疑会想逃避，因此鲨鱼遭遇象征着“对专业挑战的恐惧”，故选C。 D You might think that mathematics is the most trustworthy thing humans have ever come up with. It is the basis of science and the bedrock of much of our other knowledge too. And you might be right. But be careful: maths isn’t all it seems. “The trustworthiness of mathematics is limited,” says Penelope Maddy, a philosopher of mathematics at the University of California, Irvine. All mathematicians know her statement to be true because their subject is built on “axioms” — and try as they might, they can never prove these axioms to be true. An axiom is essentially an assumption based on observations of how things are. Scientists observe a phenomenon, formalise it and write down a law of nature. In a similar way, mathematicians use their observations to create an axiom. One example is the observation that there always seems to be a unique straight line that can be drawn between two points. Assume this to be universally true and you can build up the rules of Euclidean geometry (几何学). Another is that1+2 is the same as 2+1, an assumption that allows us to do calculation. These axioms might seem self-evident, but maths goes a lot further than calculation. Mathematicians aim to uncover things like the properties of numbers, the ways in which they are all related to one another and how they can be used to model the real world. These more complex tasks are still worked out through theories and proofs built on axioms, but the relevant axioms might have to change. Lines between points have different properties on bent surfaces than flat ones, for example, which means the underlying axioms have to be different in different shapes. We always have to be careful that our axioms are reliable and reflect the world we are trying to illustrate with maths. In the end, then, mathematicians might be providing the bedrock on which much scientific knowledge is built, but they can’t offer cast-iron guarantees that it won’t ever shift or change. A limit to reliable knowledge is therefore inescapable. In general, they don’t worry about it: they shrug their shoulders and turn up to work like everybody else. “The possibility of development, of getting better, is exactly what makes mathematics an absolutely fascinating subject,” says Maddy. 32. Which of the following is true about mathematics according to the author? A. Mathematics reveals unquestionable universal truths. B. Mathematics is based on unchanging principles. C. Mathematics is less trustworthy than other sciences. D. Mathematics offers a starting point for our knowledge. 33. Which of the following most probably counts as an axiom according to the passage? A. The same numbers always add up to the same value. B. Different mathematical systems can never coexist. C. All shapes have equal properties. D. Every mathematical statement can be proven through experiments. 34. According to the passage, why do axioms need to change? A. Because old axioms are more relevant to basic mathematics concepts. B. Because advances in technology changes how we view mathematics. C. Because different situation may invite different assumptions. D. Because mathematicians make errors in their daily work. 35. According to Penelope Maddy, mathematics is fascinating because of _________. A. its simple methods and absolute certainty B. its chance for new discoveries and growth C. its being independent from the real world D. its giving straightforward answers to questions 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了数学建立在公理之上，但公理无法被证明为真，且会因情况不同而改变，不过这也让数学充满魅力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“You might think that mathematics is the most trustworthy thing humans have ever come up with. It is the basis of science and the bedrock of much of our other knowledge too.(你可能会认为数学是人类发明的最值得信赖的东西。它是科学的基础，也是我们许多其他知识的基石)”可知，数学是科学的基础，为我们的其他知识提供了一个起点，所以D项“Mathematics offers a starting point for our knowledge.”是正确表述。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“An axiom is essentially an assumption based on observations of how things are. Scientists observe a phenomenon, formalise it and write down a law of nature. In a similar way, mathematicians use their observations to create an axiom. One example is the observation that there always seems to be a unique straight line that can be drawn between two points. Assume this to be universally true and you can build up the rules of Euclidean geometry (几何学). Another is that 1+2 is the same as 2+1, an assumption that allows us to do calculation. Another is that 1 + 2 is the same as 2 + 1, an assumption that allows us to do calculation.(公理本质上是基于对事物的观察而做出的假设。科学家观察一种现象，将其形式化，并写下自然规律。以类似的方式，数学家用他们的观察来创造一个公理。一个例子是观察到两点之间似乎总能画出一条独特的直线。假设这是普遍正确的，你就可以建立欧几里得几何的规则。另一个假设是1+2等于2+1，这个假设允许我们进行计算。另一个是1 + 2等于2 + 1，这个假设允许我们进行计算)”可知，公理本质上是基于对事物的观察而做出的假设，段中先用“欧几里得几何的规则”进行举例说明，然后提到“Another is that 1 + 2 is the same as 2 + 1, an assumption that allows us to do calculation.”，说明相同的数字相加总是得到相同的值，这也属于文中所提到的公理。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Lines between points have different properties on bent surfaces than flat ones, for example, which means the underlying axioms have to be different in different shapes.(例如，点与点之间的线在弯曲表面和平坦表面上有不同的性质，这意味着在不同的形状中，基本的公理必须不同)”可知，不同的情况可能需要不同的假设，所以公理需要改变。故选C项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Penelope Maddy的话“The possibility of development, of getting better, is exactly what makes mathematics an absolutely fascinating subject(发展和变得更好的可能性，正是使数学成为一门绝对迷人的学科的原因)”可知，Penelope Maddy认为数学的魅力在于有新发现和成长的机会。故选B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。 Swimming is an excellent form of exercise for beginners because it is gentle on the body.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍游泳对于人的身体健康来说是有益的，但游泳时也应该遵循一些规则。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Swimming improves your cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness and flexibility（游泳可以改善你的心血管健康和灵活度）”可知，此处阐述的是游泳的好处。C项“此外，水有助于增强肌肉”符合语境，其中Besides表明上下文的递进关系。故选C项。 【37题详解】 上文“If you do not know how to swim, adult lessons are often available at gyms.（如果你不知道如何游泳，健身房通常提供成人课程）”讲不会游泳可以去健身房报名学习，G项“Even if you learned to swim as a child, you may want to consider signing up for a class（即使你从小就学会了游泳，你也可以考虑报名参加游泳班）”讲即使会游泳，也可以报名参加游泳班，与上文构成递进关系，且下文“You can learn how to more effectively work out in the pool with just a few lessons.（你只需几节课即可学习如何更有效地在游泳池中锻炼）”中“more effectively work out”与G项中“if you learned to swim as a child”相照应,，说明会游泳还要参加游泳班的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【38题详解】 E项“If using a pool at a gym, you need follow certain pool rules（如果在健身房使用游泳池，你需要遵守一些游泳池规则）”讲在健身房使用游泳池要遵守规则，下文“It is important that you stick to the posted guidelines, which are meant to keep the swimming pools running properly.（重要的是要遵守发布的指南，这些指南旨在保持游泳池正常运行）”承接上文，说明遵守规则的意义，E项中“rules”与下文“guidelines”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 【39题详解】 上文“But the majority request that you shower before you enter the pool.（但大多数人要求你在进入游泳池之前淋浴）”讲虽然不同的游泳池有不同的规则，但大多数要求进入游泳池前淋浴，F项“This rule helps keep the pool water clean by removing body oils and sweat（这条规则可以去除身体的油脂和汗水，帮助保持泳池水的清洁）”承接上文，说明进入游泳池前淋浴的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“At times, you may share a lane with one or more other swimmers.（有时，你可能会与一个或多个其他游泳者共享泳道）”以及下文“You need to stay in the appropriate lane.（你需要留在合适的泳道上）”可知，上下文间缺少过渡句，D项“When this happens, think of it as driving on the highway（当这种情况发生时，把它想象成在高速公路上开车）”承上启下，说明了要留在合适的泳道上的原因，且句中“this”指代的是上文“共享泳道”这一情况。故选D项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Singapore mum Andrea Goh Fenton always suspected her daughter Livie was different in sensitivity and big emotions, even as a tiny baby.

Unlike most of his peers, who were fascinated by the latest videos and social media trends, Noah had a passion for drawing. He would sit for hours, pencil in hand, sketching (画索描) scenes from his surroundings, giving life to moments and characters from his vivid imagination. Noah’s love for drawing had begun in early childhood. His grandmother, who had been an artist in her youth, had always encouraged him to express himself through art. Through her gentle guidance, Noah learned not just the technical aspects of drawing but the power of art to convey emotions, to tell stories and to touch others. One autumn afternoon, as leaves fell down the city streets, Noah spotted a stray (走失的) dog curled up beside an abandoned cardboard box outside his school. It was a small and thin creature with eyes that looked tired, almost defeated. Most people rushed past without a second glance, but Noah felt an ache in his chest. He had always been drawn to the overlooked and forgotten, and this little dog was no exception. For days, Noah would stop by the dog after school, bringing bits of food he managed to take from his own lunch. Gradually, the dog, whom he started calling Rusty, began to trust him. Rusty would press his nose against Noah’s hand each day, a small but meaningful gesture of appreciation. Their quiet companionship became a part of Noah’s routine, a special bond that no one else knew about. One rainy morning, Noah noticed something unsettling as he approached the school gate: The place where Rusty usually lay was empty. Rusty was nowhere to be found. He tried to focus on his classes, but his mind kept wandering to the missing dog. By the end of the school day, unable to bear the thought of Rusty alone and cold, he decided to take action. 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。 Determined to find Rusty, Noah started sketching. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After several days of searching and waiting, Noah finally received a call. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Paragraph 1: Determined to find Rusty, Noah started sketching. He began to sketch the scenes of their encounters, capturing the little dog’s frail form and tired eyes with meticulous detail. Noah posted his sketches on community bulletin boards, hoping that someone would recognize the dog and provide a clue to his whereabouts. He even created a simple flyer with Rusty’s description and his contact information, distributing them around the neighborhood. He would not rest until Rusty was back in his arms. Paragraph 2: After several days of searching and waiting, Noah finally received a call. It was a rainy evening when Noah’s phone rang, breaking the silence of his room. On the other end of the line was a woman with a soft voice, telling him she had seen a dog matching Rusty’s description near the old park. Without wasting a moment, he grabbed his umbrella and rushed out into the rain. The park was desolate and wet, but Noah’s eyes scanned every corner, searching for that familiar face. And there, under a leaky shelter, was Rusty, shivering but still wagging his tail when he saw Noah. The two were reunited in an embrace that spoke volumes of relief and joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了诺亚有绘画天赋，某天他遇到了一只流浪狗，有好几天，放学后，诺亚会顺便去看狗，把他从自己的午餐里偷出来的一些食物带回来。渐渐地，他开始叫罗斯蒂的狗开始信任他了。但是在一个下雨的早上，罗斯蒂不见了，于是诺亚通过描绘狗的样子，发布图画来找狗，并且最后在好心人的帮助下找回了罗斯蒂。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“诺亚下定决心要找到罗斯蒂，于是开始画素描”可知，第一段可描写诺亚寻找罗斯蒂的经过以及决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过几天的寻找和等待，诺亚终于接到了一个电话”可知，第二段可描写诺亚接到电话说发现了罗斯蒂以及最终找到了罗斯蒂。 2. 续写线索：决心找到罗斯蒂——开始绘画罗斯蒂的样子——张贴告示——接到电话——找到罗斯蒂——诺亚感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：provide/offer ②张贴：post/put up ③看见：see/spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①希望：hoping that.../with the hope that... ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He would not rest until Rusty was back in his arms.

However, Lena, a 20-year-old American college student, views them in a unique way. To her, each character has its own story. She pictures“ren”(person) as a cat’s face, and “ceng” (once) as an angry robot. Lena gained popularity when she spent only 30 minutes drawing “ceng” and posted it on rednote (or Xiaohongshu). Amazingly, this simple drawing got 40,000 likes overnight. Now, her creative artworks raise discussions about language, art, and cultural exchange. Growing up in a diverse community with many Asians, Lena was surrounded by different languages and cultures. “As a child, I had Chinese friends. I was fascinated by seeing their names on lunch boxes. This language was so new to me, completely different from Western languages,” Lena remembered. This early curiosity remained with her and reappeared in college during a US-China relations course, which deepened her interest in modern Chinese culture. Deep in rednote, Lena noticed more characters that looked like various objects. She describes herself as imaginative and highly perceptive, often spotting details others miss. Besides drawing, Lena translates all her posts into Chinese to show respect to her followers. Her efforts have helped her make Chinese friends online, chatting about daily life and food. Some followers said Lena understands the beauty of Chinese characters better than many Chinese. “It’s because you’re used to them,” Lena replied, adding the opposite is also true. For example, she learned from Chinese friends that “orz” looks like a person bowing in apology, but it means nothing in English. “It’s something I never thought of. That’s the result of a non-native looking at unfamiliar characters,” she said. As Lena plans to share more character-inspired art on rednote, her story shows a truth: language is more than words; it’s about connection and understanding the world from others’ perspectives. 24. How did Lena become popular on rednote? A. By posting creative drawings of Chinese characters. B. By translating English articles into Chinese. C. By sharing her daily life in China. D. By having online chats with Chinese netizens. 25. What deepened Lena’s interest in modern Chinese culture? A. Her Chinese friends. B. Using rednote. C. A US-China relations course. D. Drawing Chinese characters. 26. Why did Lena mention the example“orz”? A. To show non-natives’ unique views. B. To prove followers’ over-praise. C. To explain learning difficulty. D. To analyze grammar differences. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Lena gains popularity on campus. B. Creative characters bridge language and culture. C Diverse background increases Lena’s interest. D. Chinese characters: more than simple symbols. C I am a female scientist. Years ago, a senior scientist met with me to talk about a big research project for which I had just received funding. I was both excited and nervous. He didn’t think I was prepared, and proposed I hand off a major section of the project to him. He meant well and his warnings sounded serious.But I had learned to manage how I react to such situations, partly through years of open-water swimming. Two decades earlier when I was in college, I had an encounter with a shark. I was swimming in the ocean with a friend when the shark suddenly appeared, heading straight toward us. As it approached, I watched helplessly as my friend splashed (使飞溅) the water in front of it. It moved to the side as if surprised, then circled around us and disappeared. I felt small and afraid, like a tourist who didn’t belong. This feeling followed me into my early career. Despite completing my Ph. D. and being hired as a scientist at a national lab, I never truly believed I belonged. When senior scientists challenged my work, my response was: Swim away from the creature threatening me. But I never stopped open-water swimming. For years, I routinely swam at my local pool until it was forced to close. I started to spend my early mornings hiking for 30 minutes in the dark so I could swim in a lake. I hated feeling cold, but it was during those mornings that I became an open-water swimmer in my own mind, and realized I didn’t have to quit doing something even if it sounded worrying and uncomfortable. This transformation shaped my response to the senior scientist. During a frank conversation I told him my plans to lead the project, and he ended up cutting ties with the work. I moved forward with my team,through uncertainty and into something hard and beautiful. 28. What did the senior scientist do to the author regarding the big project? A. Deny her competence. B. Question her readiness. C. Challenge her authority. D. Remove her qualification. 29. How did the author react to challenges in her early career? A. She defended her position firmly. B. She sought help from others. C. She distanced herself from conflicts. D. She ignored them completely. 30. What mindset did the author develop during the morning swims? A. Breaking out of set patterns. B. Going beyond the boundaries. C. Wrestling with the unknown. D. Being determined despite unease. 31. What does the shark encounter symbolize in the text? A. A danger in open-water swimming. B. A turning point in the career path. C. The fear of professional challenges. D. The uncertainty of scientific inquiry. D You might think that mathematics is the most trustworthy thing humans have ever come up with. It is the basis of science and the bedrock of much of our other knowledge too. And you might be right. But be careful: maths isn’t all it seems. “The trustworthiness of mathematics is limited,” says Penelope Maddy, a philosopher of mathematics at the University of California, Irvine. All mathematicians know her statement to be true because their subject is built on “axioms” — and try as they might, they can never prove these axioms to be true. An axiom is essentially an assumption based on observations of how things are. Scientists observe a phenomenon, formalise it and write down a law of nature. In a similar way, mathematicians use their observations to create an axiom. One example is the observation that there always seems to be a unique straight line that can be drawn between two points. Assume this to be universally true and you can build up the rules of Euclidean geometry (几何学). Another is that1+2 is the same as 2+1, an assumption that allows us to do calculation. These axioms might seem self-evident, but maths goes a lot further than calculation. Mathematicians aim to uncover things like the properties of numbers, the ways in which they are all related to one another and how they can be used to model the real world. These more complex tasks are still worked out through theories and proofs built on axioms, but the relevant axioms might have to change. Lines between points have different properties on bent surfaces than flat ones, for example, which means the underlying axioms have to be different in different shapes. We always have to be careful that our axioms are reliable and reflect the world we are trying to illustrate with maths. In the end, then, mathematicians might be providing the bedrock on which much scientific knowledge is built, but they can’t offer cast-iron guarantees that it won’t ever shift or change. A limit to reliable knowledge is therefore inescapable. In general, they don’t worry about it: they shrug their shoulders and turn up to work like everybody else. “The possibility of development, of getting better, is exactly what makes mathematics an absolutely fascinating subject,” says Maddy. 32. Which of the following is true about mathematics according to the author? A. Mathematics reveals unquestionable universal truths. B. Mathematics is based on unchanging principles. C. Mathematics is less trustworthy than other sciences. D. Mathematics offers a starting point for our knowledge. 33. Which of the following most probably counts as an axiom according to the passage? A. The same numbers always add up to the same value. B. Different mathematical systems can never coexist. C. All shapes have equal properties. D. Every mathematical statement can be proven through experiments. 34. According to the passage, why do axioms need to change? A Because old axioms are more relevant to basic mathematics concepts. B. Because advances in technology changes how we view mathematics. C. Because different situation may invite different assumptions. D. Because mathematicians make errors in their daily work. 35. According to Penelope Maddy, mathematics is fascinating because of _________. A. its simple methods and absolute certainty B. its chance for new discoveries and growth C. its being independent from the real world D its giving straightforward answers to questions 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。 Swimming is an excellent form of exercise for beginners because it is gentle on the body.

Unlike most of his peers, who were fascinated by the latest videos and social media trends, Noah had a passion for drawing. He would sit for hours, pencil in hand, sketching (画索描) scenes from his surroundings, giving life to moments and characters from his vivid imagination. Noah’s love for drawing had begun in early childhood. His grandmother, who had been an artist in her youth, had always encouraged him to express himself through art. Through her gentle guidance, Noah learned not just the technical aspects of drawing but the power of art to convey emotions, to tell stories and to touch others. One autumn afternoon, as leaves fell down the city streets, Noah spotted a stray (走失的) dog curled up beside an abandoned cardboard box outside his school. It was a small and thin creature with eyes that looked tired, almost defeated. Most people rushed past without a second glance, but Noah felt an ache in his chest. He had always been drawn to the overlooked and forgotten, and this little dog was no exception. For days, Noah would stop by the dog after school, bringing bits of food he managed to take from his own lunch. Gradually, the dog, whom he started calling Rusty, began to trust him. Rusty would press his nose against Noah’s hand each day, a small but meaningful gesture of appreciation. Their quiet companionship became a part of Noah’s routine, a special bond that no one else knew about. One rainy morning, Noah noticed something unsettling as he approached the school gate: The place where Rusty usually lay was empty. Rusty was nowhere to be found. He tried to focus on his classes, but his mind kept wandering to the missing dog. By the end of the school day, unable to bear the thought of Rusty alone and cold, he decided to take action. 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。 Determined to find Rusty, Noah started sketching. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After several days of searching and waiting, Noah finally received a call. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Wow, I love the dress.

This is the liquid public address system. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The western hill fire is spreading toward liquid much quicker than we had expected. This is mostly because of a strong wind coming from the west. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of liquid by six o'clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately. Springfield to the north point, cabin station to the east and galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. IT will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We cannot take any chances. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of liquid is empty by five o'clock today, and we have been given permission to use force to remove anyone who has not left the area on their own.
