It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How peculiar!” I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street. In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them. The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly. Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock. I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector. 24. What drove the author to start the investigation? A. The sock drawer was often left open. B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer. C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with socks. D. Single socks were found in unusual places around the house. 25. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster? A. Princess traded a costly biscuit for a plain white sock. B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits. C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear. D. Buster acquired a tennis ball and gave up two striped socks. 26. Which is close to the underlined word “unfazed” in meaning in paragraph 5? A. uninterested. B. uncertain. C. excited. D. confused. 27. What might the author do at last? A. Make the neighbor pay for the traded socks. B. Report Buster’s business to the animal shelter. C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster. D. Take all of Buster’s collections away as a punishment. C Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 28 What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists. B. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists. C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium. 29 What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 30. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Strengthen our achievement motivation. C. Try to be the best in every field. D. Commit to our consistent personal growth. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists D Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research analyzed historical food prices across various food categories and countries globally, looking at the impact of climatic changes on food inflation (通货膨胀) and the potential implications of future climate change. They found that annual food inflation will rise by 3.2 percent per year and overall inflation by 1.18 percent per year by 2035. And all nations will be impacted, while hot regions and summers will see the most significant consequences. “Looking at over 27,000 observations of historical data, we found that increases in temperatures can increase food prices, particularly in hot regions and seasons,” said Max Kotz, a co-author of the study, “under future climate conditions, these impacts could become large, threatening the price stability commands of central banks, such as the ECB ( European Central Bank), which aims to keep inflation below 2 percent.” The report highlighted how rising or unstable prices endanger human welfare and economic and political stability, pointing to United Nations data showing that the cost-of-living crisis in 2021/22 resulted in 71 million more people falling into poverty globally. The study found that increases in temperatures, particularly in hot regions and during summers, lead to heightened inflation levels, which are more pronounced in lower latitudes (纬度) like Africa and South America. Regions at higher latitudes experience seasonal peaks, mostly in the summer months. Data showed a 1℃ rise in average monthly temperatures affects prices for nearly a year, similarly to extra rainfall. However, price impacts resulting from extreme drought are only temporary. Researchers examined the extremely hot European summer of 2022, when heat and drought had far-reaching effects on agriculture and the economy. “We estimate that the 2022 summer heat extreme increased food inflation in Europe by about 0.6 percent,” said Kotz. Researchers claimed that future warming projected for 2035 would multiply the impacts of such extremes by up to 50 percent. These effects are particularly relevant for currency unions with a 2 percent inflation target, such as the Eurozone, and will continue to increase with future global warming. 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Natural consequences of climate change. B. The link between food price s and climate. C. Food prices in hot regions during summers. D. The impact of food inflation on food prices. 33. What might the rising prices lead to according to the researchers’ report? A. Massive poverty. B. Human welfare. C. Environmental crisis. D. Economic stability. 34. Why is the European summer of 2022 mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To give an example of the research findings. B. To provide reasons for the researchers’ doubt. C. To show practical significance of the research. D. To state researchers’ methods for data analysis. 35. What is the researchers’ attitude toward food inflation? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. 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。 At first glance, the idea of living a minimalist (极简主义的) lifestyle may sound difficult, restrictive, or even boring. I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living. ____36____ Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value. It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. ____37____ Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps. Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. ____38____ In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. ____39____ If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further. ____40____ When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going. A. It’s nothing but an excuse. B. This couldn’t be further from the truth! C. Fixing what bothers you is also necessary. D. This leaves more space for you to boost productivity. E. But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living. F. So you can make space for what’s most important to you. G. Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When my friend Leo was diagnosed with a rare heart disease, his family faced crushing medical expenses.

Last summer, I traveled to Weifang, a small city in Shandong Province noted as the “Kite Capital of the World.” The exquisite (精美的) kites of Weifang left me completely amazed. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight: people crafting kites everywhere, and hundreds of colorful kites soaring gracefully in the sky. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and excitement as both locals and tourists gathered to celebrate the annual International Kite Festival. I spent several days exploring the festival, marveling (大为赞叹) at the complicated designs of the kites. Some were shaped like impressive dragons, their long bodies twisting and turning in the air. Others resembled delicate butterflies, their wings decorated with brilliant patterns that seemed to come alive against the blue sky. I couldn’t resist purchasing several kites to bring back home, each one a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. When I returned to my classroom in New York, I eagerly shared the kites with my students. Their eyes widened with wonder as they examined the delicate bamboo frames and the hand-painted rice paper. “They’re so beautiful!” one student exclaimed (惊呼), holding up a butterfly-shaped kite. Another student, fascinated by a dragon kite, asked, “How do they make these? They look so light, yet they fly so gracefully.” Inspired by their enthusiasm, I decided to teach them how to make their own kites. We started with simple designs, using lightweight materials like bamboo sticks and tissue paper. However, despite our best efforts, the kites we crafted never flew as well as the ones from Weifang. Some would lose their balance, while others barely managed to lift off the ground. The students grew disheartened, and so did I. “Why can’t ours fly like the Chinese kites?” one student asked, her voice tinged with (略带) disappointment. Their words made me realize that making a kite wasn’t just about assembling (组装) materials; it required a profound (深刻的) understanding of balance, precision, and the art of aerodynamics (空气动力学). “Why not seek guidance from the people of the ‘Kite Capital of the World’? They must be experts in kite-making,” I thought to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数要求应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Eventually I decided to post our kite-making struggles on a Chinese website. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On a clear windy day, my students and I took our newly-made kites to a nearby park. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2025-2026学年高三上期01月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

It’s not that I’m addicted to it, or have important calls, but I need the alarm to wake me up every morning. W: Yeah, but that’s where the risk is. According to experts, we should switch our phones off and on once a day as a security measure. It helps close the applications running in the background and stop data collection processes we’re not aware of. M: Sounds reasonable. Do we switch the phone off and switch it back on immediately? W: Well, better wait for a few minutes. M: When do you usually do that? W: I do it every night before going to bed. 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】 14.

Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, a lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco, and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him, but unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Potala Palace Travel Guide Travel Tips ● The travel route is set strictly. ● The visiting time is limited in 1 hour. ● Watch your steps due to the high altitude. ● Bring along an overcoat as it is a bit cold in the hall.

My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How peculiar!” I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street. In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them. The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly. Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock. I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector. 24. What drove the author to start the investigation? A. The sock drawer was often left open. B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer. C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with socks. D. Single socks were found in unusual places around the house. 25. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster? A. Princess traded a costly biscuit for a plain white sock. B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits. C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear. D. Buster acquired a tennis ball and gave up two striped socks. 26. Which is close to the underlined word “unfazed” in meaning in paragraph 5? A. uninterested. B. uncertain. C. excited. D. confused. 27. What might the author do at last? A. Make the neighbor pay for the traded socks. B. Report Buster’s business to the animal shelter. C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster. D. Take all of Buster’s collections away as a punishment. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现家里的袜子神秘失踪，调查后发现是狗Buster用袜子和其他狗做交易的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs.(好几个星期以来，我总能在沙发下或电视机后面发现一只袜子，但从来找不到成对的袜子。)”和第二段中“I decided to investigate.(我决定展开调查。)”可知，作者因在家中不寻常的地方频繁发现单只袜子，才决定展开调查。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her.(我认出是贵宾犬Princess，它走上前来，在床边放了一块质量上乘、价格昂贵的狗饼干。Buster仔细地嗅了嗅，用鼻子把一只普通的白袜子推到她面前，然后缩回爪子，护着剩下的袜子。Princess似乎在考虑，然后又往堆里加了一块饼干。Buster很满意，用鼻子熟练地把两条条纹袜子推到她面前。)”可知，Princess和Buster交易的最终结果是Princess用两块昂贵的饼干换了三只袜子。故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort.(他提供了一个舔得很好、有点扁的网球。Buster立刻看起来完全unfazed。他哼了一声，把头转了过去。)”可知，Buster对网球不感兴趣，所以把头转了过去，因此unfazed意思是“不感兴趣的”，与uninterested意思相近。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.(Buster还算有礼貌，露出尴尬的神情。它慢慢爬过来，不是来道歉，而是轻轻把我最不喜欢的一双袜子——姨妈送的那双让人发痒的圣诞袜——推到我脚边。这是它求和的表示，想贿赂我让我闭嘴。我忍不住笑了。它不只是个偷袜子高手，还是个出色的生意人呢。我收下了袜子。毕竟，每个良好的经济体系都需要个收税人呢。)”可推知，作者将袜子当作原谅Buster的“税款”收下，接受了它的和解。故选C。 C Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 28. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists. B. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists. C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium. 29. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 30. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Strengthen our achievement motivation. C. Try to be the best in every field. D. Commit to our consistent personal growth. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过研究奥运会银牌和铜牌得主的情绪反应与寿命差异，提出“追求铜牌（而非金牌）反而能收获更多幸福感”的观点，倡导人们以自我提升为目标，而非盲目与顶尖者比较。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium, researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists.(通过使用在比赛结束后和随后在领奖台上捕捉到的慢镜头，研究人员发现，平均而言，铜牌得主表现得一直比银牌得主更快乐。)”可知，研究发现铜牌得主看起来比银牌得主更快乐。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第4段中“The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: ‘Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.’ In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison.(这项研究对这种差异有一个简单的解释：‘不满意的竞争结果可能会对健康产生负面影响’。换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是头号失败者，因为他们仰望着最高的台阶，只把自己和金牌获得者比较，而铜牌获得者则把自己和其他从未登上领奖台的人比较。这个理论显示了向上和向下的社会比较之间的区别。)”可知，奖牌得主寿命差异的原因是不同类型的社会比较带来的影响。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you.(这里起作用的原则是努力提升你自己过去的成绩，而你必须与之比较的唯一对象就是你自己。)”可知，作者建议我们通过致力于持续的个人成长来获得幸福。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第2段“researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists.(研究人员发现，平均而言，铜牌得主看起来总是比银牌得主更快乐。)”、第3段“But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78.(但在长寿这一项上拔得头筹的是铜牌得主，他们的寿命达到了78岁。)”以及最后一段“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish.(那种每天都追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是不明智的。)”可知，全文围绕铜牌得主在幸福感和寿命上的优势展开，核心观点是“第三名反而能成为真正的赢家”，A项“The Triumph of Coming in Third(第三名的胜利)”符合题意。故选A。 D Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research analyzed historical food prices across various food categories and countries globally, looking at the impact of climatic changes on food inflation (通货膨胀) and the potential implications of future climate change. They found that annual food inflation will rise by 3.2 percent per year and overall inflation by 1.18 percent per year by 2035. And all nations will be impacted, while hot regions and summers will see the most significant consequences. “Looking at over 27,000 observations of historical data, we found that increases in temperatures can increase food prices, particularly in hot regions and seasons,” said Max Kotz, a co-author of the study, “under future climate conditions, these impacts could become large, threatening the price stability commands of central banks, such as the ECB ( European Central Bank), which aims to keep inflation below 2 percent.” The report highlighted how rising or unstable prices endanger human welfare and economic and political stability, pointing to United Nations data showing that the cost-of-living crisis in 2021/22 resulted in 71 million more people falling into poverty globally. The study found that increases in temperatures, particularly in hot regions and during summers, lead to heightened inflation levels, which are more pronounced in lower latitudes (纬度) like Africa and South America. Regions at higher latitudes experience seasonal peaks, mostly in the summer months. Data showed a 1℃ rise in average monthly temperatures affects prices for nearly a year, similarly to extra rainfall. However, price impacts resulting from extreme drought are only temporary. Researchers examined the extremely hot European summer of 2022, when heat and drought had far-reaching effects on agriculture and the economy. “We estimate that the 2022 summer heat extreme increased food inflation in Europe by about 0.6 percent,” said Kotz. Researchers claimed that future warming projected for 2035 would multiply the impacts of such extremes by up to 50 percent. These effects are particularly relevant for currency unions with a 2 percent inflation target, such as the Eurozone, and will continue to increase with future global warming. 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Natural consequences of climate change. B. The link between food price s and climate. C. Food prices in hot regions during summers. D. The impact of food inflation on food prices. 33. What might the rising prices lead to according to the researchers’ report? A. Massive poverty. B. Human welfare. C. Environmental crisis. D. Economic stability. 34. Why is the European summer of 2022 mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To give an example of the research findings. B. To provide reasons for the researchers’ doubt. C. To show practical significance of the research. D. To state researchers’ methods for data analysis. 35. What is the researchers’ attitude toward food inflation? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化对食品通胀的影响以及未来气候变化的潜在影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research analyzed historical food prices across various food categories and countries globally, looking at the impact of climatic changes on food inflation (通货膨胀) and the potential implications of future climate change. (波茨坦气候影响研究所的研究人员分析了全球不同食品类别和国家的历史食品价格，研究了气候变化对食品通货膨胀的影响以及未来气候变化的潜在影响。)”可知，第一段主要是关于粮食价格和气候之间的联系。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The report highlighted how rising or unstable prices endanger human welfare and economic and political stability, pointing to United Nations data showing that the cost- of- living crisis in 2021/22 resulted in 71 million more people falling into poverty globally. (报告强调了不断上涨或不稳定的价格如何危及人类福利以及经济和政治稳定，并指出联合国的数据显示，2021/22年的生活成本危机导致全球新增7100万人陷入贫困。)”可知，持续增长的价格全让人类福祉，经济稳定及政治稳定陷入危机，且联合国2021/22的数据显示生活成本危机使全球新增7100万人陷入贫困。由此可知，持续的增长可能会导致大规模的贫困。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, price impacts resulting from extreme drought are only temporary. (然而，极端干旱对价格的影响只是暂时的)”以及“Researchers examined the extremely hot European summer of 2022, when heat and drought had far- reaching effects on agriculture and the economy. (研究人员调查了2022年欧洲极端炎热的夏季，当时炎热和干旱对农业和经济产生了深远的影响。)”可知，提到2022年的欧洲夏季是为了举例说明极端干旱对价格的影响只是暂时的这一结论。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers claimed that future warming projected for 2035 would multiply the impacts of such extremes by up to 50 percent. These effects are particularly relevant for currency unions with a 2 percent inflation target, such as the Eurozone, and will continue to increase with future global warming.(研究人员声称，预计2035年的未来变暖将使这种极端天气的影响增加多达50%。这些影响对欧元区等通胀目标为2%的货币联盟尤其重要，并将随着未来全球变暖而继续增加。)”可知，研究人员认为这样的影响会随着全球气温上升而成倍增强，再根据全文全球变暖会导致全球粮食价格通货膨胀，从而增加大们的生活成本，威胁经济和政治的稳定，可知，研究人员对此非常的关心且担忧的，故选D。 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。 At first glance, the idea of living a minimalist (极简主义的) lifestyle may sound difficult, restrictive, or even boring. I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living. ____36____ Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value. It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. ____37____ Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps. Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. ____38____ In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. ____39____ If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further. ____40____ When you’re getting started don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going. A. It’s nothing but an excuse. B. This couldn’t be further from the truth! C. Fixing what bothers you is also necessary. D. This leaves more space for you to boost productivity. E. But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living. F. So you can make space for what’s most important to you. G. Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey. 【答案】36. E 37. B 38. F 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍极简主义生活方式的常见误解，并给出开启极简主义生活的实用建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living.(当我第一次决定开始极简主义生活时，我有些怀疑)”以及下文“Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value.(成为一名极简主义者让我有更多时间和自由去追求我热爱和珍视的事物)”可知，此处应表转折，衔接最初的怀疑与后来的收获，E选项“But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living.(但这样做给了我一种我由衷热爱的生活)”中的doing so指代上文的take on minimalist living，既转折又呼应下文的积极影响，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules.(初学者通常认为极简主义始于难以坚持的习惯和规则)”以及下文“Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps.(极简主义始于你的心态 —— 这是你看待生活的视角，而后从心态出发向外延伸，逐步转化为切实可行的习惯和行动步骤)”可知，上文的观点与实际情况不符，此处应否定上文观点，B选项“This couldn’t be further from the truth!(这与事实相去甚远！)”既指出上文观点错误，又引出下文对极简主义真正起点的阐述，符合语境。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life.(极简主义的主要目标是摆脱那些对日常生活价值无益的东西)”可知，此处应说明摆脱无用之物的目的，F选项“So you can make space for what’s most important to you.(这样你就能为对你最重要的东西腾出空间)”中的So承接上文，make space呼应上文get rid of the things，符合语境。故选F项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life.(问问自己，在日常生活中，你的生活需要更多什么，更少什么)”以及下文“If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further.(如果日常生活中有什么事让你心烦，你最好着手解决这些问题，别让它们继续拖累你)”可知，此处应衔接上文的自我审视，引出解决烦恼的必要性，C选项“Fixing what bothers you is also necessary.(解决困扰你的问题也是必要的)”既呼应下文的annoying you、address these things，又补充上文的建议，符合语境。故选C项。 【40题详解】 根据下文“When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there.(开始的时候，不要太关注最终结果或最难改变的事情。从最简单的事情开始，然后逐步推进)”可知，本段核心是建议从简单开始，循序渐进，G选项“Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey.(从简单开始，意识到成为一名极简主义者是一个过程)”作为段首句，概括本段主旨，与下文的具体建议相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When my friend Leo was diagnosed with a rare heart disease, his family faced crushing medical expenses.

These coatings often rely on PFAS, a class of chemicals ___58___ (employ) in a wide range of products. Highly mobile, the chemicals leach out of products and accumulate in the water system, food chain and human bodies, and take hundreds to thousands of years ___59___ (break) down, hence the name “forever chemicals”. What’s more, their stability limits the ___60___ (flexible) of product recycling, making waste disposal even more challenging. “We’ve become so disengaged with the production side of clothing that we are no longer thinking about ___61___ is making that garment (服装) waterproof,” says Patrick Grant, an environmental scientist. “It’s not magic. it’s chemistry.” Among the companies leading the charge towards clean fashion ___62___ (be) Swedish brand Fjällräven. Over the past year, the brand ___63___ (educate) customers on how to care for the more expensive PFAS-free garments. ___64___ earlier waterproof clothing that protected against almost everything, including oils, newer garments require more frequent washing. The EU is in the process of banning PFAS in consumer products through ____65____ law due to come into effect in 2026, meaning all clothing brands will have to test and publicly state that they are PFAS-free.

But 57. existence 58. employed 59. to break 60. flexibility 61. what 62. is 63. has been educating##has educated 64. Unlike 65. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍防水服装中使用的化学涂层对环境和人类有害，以及目前为解决这一问题所采用的措施。 【56题详解】 考查连词。句意：但事实证明，舒适和便利是以环境和我们人类为代价的，尤其是在污染水系统中影响了水生生物的存在。上文“Due to chemical coatings developed in the 1930s, lightweight, breathable and affordable waterproof clothing has been widely available.(由于20世纪30年代开发的化学涂料，轻质、透气、价格实惠的防水服得到了广泛的应用。)”和空后“it turns out that the comfort and convenience have come at a cost both to the environment and to us(舒适和便利是以环境和我们人类为代价的)”之间在意思上存在转折关系，且空后没有逗号，所以应用连词but，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填But。 【57题详解】 考查名词。句意参考上题。空前有the，空处应用名词作宾语，existence意为“存在”，为不可数名词。故填existence。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些涂料通常依赖于PFAS，这是一类用于各种产品的化学品。本句的谓语是rely，逗号后的内容是PFAS的同位语，前后没有连接词，所以空处应用非谓语动词，a class of chemicals和employ之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词，作后置定语。故填employed。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些化学物质流动性很强，从产品中滤出，在水系统、食物链和人体中积累，需要数百年到数千年的时间才能分解，因此被称为“永远的化学物质”。此处为固定句型“主语+takes/took+时间+to do”，意为“某物……需要花费多长时间”。故填to break。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：更重要的是，它们的稳定性限制了产品回收的灵活性，使废物处理更具挑战性。空前有the，空处应用名词作宾语，flexibility意为“灵活性”，为不可数名词。故填flexibility。 【61题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：环境科学家Patrick Grant表示：“我们已经不再关注服装的生产环节，以至于我们不再考虑是什么让服装防水。”空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语，且指代事物，应用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。 【62题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：瑞典品牌Fjällräven是引领清洁时尚潮流的公司之一。空处为句子谓语，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，本句为介词短语置于句首引起的完全倒装，主语Swedish brand Fjällräven是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数形式。故填is。 【63题详解】 考查时态。句意：在过去的一年里，该品牌一直在教育顾客如何保养更昂贵的不含PFAS的服装。结合时间状语Over the past year以及语境可知，本句强调从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作，应用现在完成时，也可用现在完成进行时，强调动作的持续性，主语the brand是第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has been educating/has educated。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：不像早期的防水服装可以保护几乎所有的东西，包括油，新的服装需要更频繁的洗涤。空后跟名词词组earlier waterproof clothing作宾语，与之前的防水服进行对比，表示“不像”应用介词unlike，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Unlike。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：欧盟正在通过一项将于2026年生效的法律禁止在消费品中使用PFAS，这意味着所有服装品牌都必须进行测试并公开声明它们不含PFAS。law“法律”是可数名词的单数形式，此处表泛指，且该词的发音是辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66. 假定你是校学生会主席李华，你校外教Chris执教期间在社交媒体上大力推广中国传统文化，请你写一封感谢信，内容包括： 1. 表示感谢； 2. 你的理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, On behalf of all students, I’d love to extend our sincere appreciation for your efforts to promote Chinese traditional culture on your social media account.

Last summer, I traveled to Weifang, a small city in Shandong Province noted as the “Kite Capital of the World.” The exquisite (精美的) kites of Weifang left me completely amazed. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight: people crafting kites everywhere, and hundreds of colorful kites soaring gracefully in the sky. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and excitement as both locals and tourists gathered to celebrate the annual International Kite Festival. I spent several days exploring the festival, marveling (大为赞叹) at the complicated designs of the kites. Some were shaped like impressive dragons, their long bodies twisting and turning in the air. Others resembled delicate butterflies, their wings decorated with brilliant patterns that seemed to come alive against the blue sky. I couldn’t resist purchasing several kites to bring back home, each one a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. When I returned to my classroom in New York, I eagerly shared the kites with my students. Their eyes widened with wonder as they examined the delicate bamboo frames and the hand-painted rice paper. “They’re so beautiful!” one student exclaimed (惊呼), holding up a butterfly-shaped kite. Another student, fascinated by a dragon kite, asked, “How do they make these? They look so light, yet they fly so gracefully.” Inspired by their enthusiasm, I decided to teach them how to make their own kites. We started with simple designs, using lightweight materials like bamboo sticks and tissue paper. However, despite our best efforts, the kites we crafted never flew as well as the ones from Weifang. Some would lose their balance, while others barely managed to lift off the ground. The students grew disheartened, and so did I. “Why can’t ours fly like the Chinese kites?” one student asked, her voice tinged with (略带) disappointment. Their words made me realize that making a kite wasn’t just about assembling (组装) materials; it required a profound (深刻的) understanding of balance, precision, and the art of aerodynamics (空气动力学). “Why not seek guidance from the people of the ‘Kite Capital of the World’? They must be experts in kite-making,” I thought to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数要求应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Eventually I decided to post our kite-making struggles on a Chinese website. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On a clear, windy day, my students and I took our newly-made kites to a nearby park. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Eventually I decided to post our kite-making struggles on a Chinese website. To my surprise, within hours, I received lots of responses from Weifang kite masters offering detailed advice. One kind craftsman even sent step-by-step video courses, demonstrating how to properly bend bamboo frames and adjust string tension for perfect flight. My students and I watched in awe as he made delicate adjustments with practiced ease. “It’s all about the balance between weight and wind resistance,” he explained through translation. We carefully noted every tip and redesigned our kites accordingly. On a clear, windy day, my students and I took our newly-made kites to a nearby park. Holding our breath, we released them into the sky. This time, the kites flew easily, dancing among the clouds just like the ones in Weifang. The students cheered as their colorful creations fluttered higher and higher. A passing jogger stopped to admire the scene, remarking, “Those look like professional kites!” Beaming with pride, one student turned to me and said, “Now we understand — it’s not just making a kite, it’s creating art that flies.” Watching their joy, I realized our project had become more than a craft lesson; it was a bridge connecting cultures through shared wonder and perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以制作风筝为线索展开，讲述了身为纽约美术老师的作者被潍坊风筝的魅力所震撼，将这份中国传统工艺带回美国课堂。面对学生制作风筝的困境，作者在中文网站上发布了帖子。通过中国工匠的远程指导，学生们成功制作出能飞的艺术品，作者领悟到传统工艺背后的文化连接。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最终，我决定在一个中文网站上发帖分享我们制作风筝时遇到的困难”可知，第一段可描写中国的风筝工匠回复了作者的帖子，指导如何成功做出风筝，作者带领学生认真学习，重新制作风筝。 ②由第二段首句内容“在一个晴朗、有风的日子里，我和学生们把我们新做的风筝带到附近的公园”可知，第二段可描写作者和学生成功放飞风筝，学生们非常开心，作者领悟到这次经历背后文化交流的价值。 2. 续写线索：发帖求助——工匠指导——作者和学生学习——带着新风筝到公园——作者和学生成功放飞风筝——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①收到：receive/get/gain ②展示：demonstrate/show ③解释：explain/clarify/explicate ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②高兴：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] My students and I watched in awe as he made delicate adjustments with practiced ease.
