D 10. D 11. B 12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A 16. B 17. D 18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。询问孩子长大之后想成为什么对孩子有害。文章论述了三方面的害处。作者建议，邀请孩子想想他们可能想做的其他事情。 【1题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我是个孩子时，我害怕这个问题。A. considered考虑；B. feared害怕；C. explained解释；D. recalled回想起。根据下文中的“Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn’t ____2____ becoming something grand or ____3____, like an astronaut” 可知，成年人对作者的回答总是感到失望。所以作者很害怕被问到这个问题。他的回答让成年人不满意。故选B。 【2题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：大人们似乎总是非常失望，因为我没有梦想成为伟大的或英雄般的人物，比如宇航员。 A. dreaming of梦想；B. objecting to反对；C. focusing on集中于……； D. sticking to坚持。根据上文中的“What do you want to be when you grow up?”可知，该处提到的是作者长大之后的梦想。故选A。 【3题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：大人们似乎总是非常失望，因为我没有梦想成为伟大的或英雄般的人物，比如宇航员。A. average平均的；B. humble谦卑的，谦虚的；C. heroic英雄的，英勇的；D. romantic浪漫的。根据下文中的“like an astronaut”可知，宇航员属于伟大的或英雄般的人物。故选C。 【4题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：现在，作为一名组织心理学家，我的工作是解决别人的工作，我开始相信，问年轻人这个问题会伤害他们。A. prefer更喜欢；B. remember记住；C. believe相信，认为；D. anticipate预期，预料。根据后面的“that asking youngsters that question does them ____5____”可知，这是作者作为心理学家的观点或看法。他认为问年轻人这个问题会伤害他们。故选C。 【5题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在，作为一名组织心理学家，我的工作是解决别人的工作，我开始相信，问年轻人这个问题会伤害他们。A. harm伤害；B. good益处；C. wrong坏事，冤枉；D. honor荣誉。根据下文中的“My first complaint about the question”可知，作者对这个问题心存抱怨。由此推知，这个问题对孩子们来说并不好，对他们会造成伤害。故选A。 【6题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我对这个问题的第一个抱怨是，它迫使孩子们从工作的角度来定义自己。A. forces强迫，迫使；B. troubles使烦恼；C. commands命令；D. forbids禁止。结和上一题的解析和空前的“My first complaint about the question”可知，这个问题对孩子们有害。当问孩子们长大之后的梦想的时候，孩子们就被迫从工作角度来定义自己。故选A。 【7题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果我们用工作来定义自己，那么我们的价值就取决于我们的成就。A. status地位；B. experience经历，经验；C. worth价值；D. fame名声。根据上文“If we define ourselves by our jobs”可以推知，如果我们用工作来定义自己，那么，我们在工作中取得的成就决定了我们个人价值。工作好，成就高，个人价值就高。反之，工作不好，成就低，个人价值就低。故选C。 【8题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：所以当你被问到你想成为什么人时，说“一个父亲”或“一个母亲”是不被社会接受的，更不用说“一个正直的人”了。A. taught教；B. asked问，要求；C. guided引导，带领；D. consulted咨询，请教。根据前文中的“asking youngsters that question does them ____5____”可知，孩子们被问到想成为一个什么人。故选B。 【9题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：所以当你被问到你想成为什么人时，说“一个父亲”或“一个母亲”是不被社会接受的，更不用说“一个正直的人”了。A. rejected被拒绝的；B. accurate精确的；C. confirmed坚定的，被证实的；D. acceptable可接受的。根据上文“it ____6____ kids to define themselves in terms of work. If we define ourselves by our jobs, our ____7____ depends on what we achieve”可知，当用工作来定义一个人的时候，个人价值取决于个人成就。所以，诸如“成为一个父亲”、“成为一个母亲”、或“成为一个正直的人”这样和工作毫无关系的回答显然是不符合期望，不被接受的。故选D。 【10题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：第二个问题是，这暗示着每个人都有一个使命。A. thought想法，思想；B. division除法，分配；C. assumption假设，认为；D. problem问题。结合上文中的“My first complaint about the question”和下文中的“If you manage to ____13____ the above barriers, there is a third hurdle”可知，第二、三、四段探讨的都是问孩子长大后要成为什么人产生的害处。因此，该空应该选择一个贬义词，表示询问孩子这个问题产生的问题或害处。故选D。 【11题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：研究表明，寻找一个使命让学生感到迷失和困惑。A. picking up捡起；B. searching for寻找，搜寻；C. praying for祈求，恳求；D. taking over接管。根据下文中的“not everyone has that talent for grand jobs(不是每个人都有做伟大工作的天赋)”可知，对伟大使命的寻求会让学生感到迷惑。故选B。 【12题详解】 考查动形容词词义辨析。句意：研究表明，寻找一个使命让学生感到迷失和困惑。A. bored厌烦的；B. impatient不耐烦的；C. intolerant无法忍受的；D. confused困惑的。该空和lost并列，意思应该和lost接近。结合上题解析，可知，对伟大使命的寻求让学生迷失和困惑。故选D。 【13题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果你成功克服了上述障碍，还有第三个障碍：职业生涯很少能达到你童年时的理想。A. strengthen增强；B. control控制；C. build建造；D. overcome克服。根据空前的“manage to（成功做到某事）”和后面的“there is a third hurdle”可知，该处应该指即使你可以克服前面提到的两个障碍，还有一个障碍你无法克服。故选D。 【14题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果你成功克服了上述障碍，还有第三个障碍：职业生涯很少能达到你童年时的理想。A. efforts努力；B. struggles奋斗，难事；C. ambitions野心，雄心；D. gains收益。根据前文提到的问题：What do you want to be when you grow up?可知，孩子们小时候经常被问到自己长大后的理想。但是长大之后做的职业很难实现童年地理想，即童年的雄心壮志。故选C。 【15题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在一项研究中，寻找一份理想的工作让大四学生对这个结果感到更加焦虑和不太满意。 A. ideal理想的；B. permanent永久的；C. ordinary普通的； D. specific特定的，明确的。根据后面的“left college seniors feeling more anxious and less satisfied”可知，大四学生都想找一份理想的工作。但是找理想的工作不容易，所以他们焦虑，不满意。故选A。 【16题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在一项研究中，寻找一份理想的工作让大四学生对这个结果感到更加焦虑和不太满意。A. benefit益处，好处；B. outcome结果；C. solution解决办法； D. truth真相，事实。根据前文的“Careers rarely live up to your childhood ____14___”可知，大四学生找不到理想工作，无法实现童年的梦想，学生们对这样的结果感到焦虑，不满意。故选B。 【17题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：很明显，期望会影响我们的幸福感。A. boost推动，使增长；B. contain包含，抑制；C. guarantee保证，确保；D. affect影响。根据上文中的“happiness is reality minus expectations(幸福是现实减去期望)”可知，现实总是和期望有差距的。因此，期望值过高，实现不了，就会影响幸福感。故选D。 【18题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果你在寻找极端的幸福，你注定会失望。A. disappointed失望的；B. addicted入迷的，上瘾的；C. delighted高兴的；D. embarrassed尴尬的，难堪的。结合上一题的解析以及“ If you are looking for extreme happiness”可知，期望会影响幸福感。极度的幸福是不可能实现的。由此推知，如果你寻找极度的幸福，那么，你肯定实现不了，你肯定会失望。故选A。 【19题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：问孩子他们想成为什么，会让他们获得一种他们可能永远都不想获得的职业身份。A. refuse拒绝；B. claim获得，声称，索要；C. keep保持；D. ignore忽略，忽视。上文介绍了问“孩子他们想成为什么”这个问题所产生的三方面的危害。由此推知，问孩子这个问题会导致孩子获得一种他们可能永远都不想获得的职业身份。该空和后面的earn一致。故选B。 【20题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，请他们想想他们可能想做的其他事情。A. Meanwhile与此同时；B. Otherwise否则；C. Instead代替，反而；D. However但是。根据前一句“Asking kids what they want to be leads them to ____19____ a career identity they might never want to earn”可知，问孩子他们想成为什么对孩子没有好处。因此作者建议不要这样做。相反地，要邀请孩子想想他们可能想做的其他事情。故选C。 第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Based on samples collected from the lunar far side by China’s Chang’e-6 mission, Chinese scientists, for the first time, ____21____ (discover) the temperature differences between the lunar farside mantle (地幔) and the nearside one, which will enhance our understanding of the moon’s history.

It was his father’s career as an artist that took the family to London for four years during Yeats’ boyhood. His mother was from Sligo. It was she who introduced William to the Irish folktales which permeated (渗透)his early poetry. Yeats attended art school in Dublin, but he soon left to concentrate on poetry. It was apparent that his medium was not the brush but the pen. He first began writing poetry at the age of seventeen, and two short works were published in The Dublin University Review in 1885. Yeats’s childhood and young manhood were spent between London, Sligo and Dublin, and each of these places contributed something to his poetic development. His devotion to Ireland was so intense that he returned to live in the wildest of its counties, to integrate himself with the problems of his own land, and express a life that had never been given full expression. From the countryside around Sligo he got something much more earthly — a knowledge of the life of the peasantry and of their folklore (民俗). Heavily influenced by the works of Shelley, he wrote in a conventional fashion about what every seventeen-year-old boy worries about. But as he matured as a poet, he turned to the writings on the Irish folkloric subjects that he would become the most famous for. He explored history and community through a complex blend (融合)of landscape and fantasy that inspired the next generation of Modernist poets. He learned to see his poetry as a contribution to a rejuvenated Irish culture. With the cooperation of a few others, Yeats helped to establish not only the Gaelic League but also the Irish Literary Theater. He also re-created folklore and perfected a poetry of music. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, and remains to this day one of Ireland’s best-selling and most recognized poetic figures. 31. What can be inferred about Yeats from the first paragraph? A. He showed an interest in poetry. B. He was left out of the art school. C. He majored in literature at college. D. He was homeschooled by his mother. 32. Why did Yeats return to the Irish countryside? A. To get closer to nature. B. To gather writing materials. C. To experience peasants’ life. D. To recall the days of his youth. 33. Yeats became best-known as a poet for the writing of ________. A. his worries as a teenager B. Shelley’s influence on him C. the Irish folklore subjects D. his desire for a fantasy world 34. What is the text mainly about? A. An established Irish poet. B. The features of Irish folklore. C. The rejuvenation of Irish poetry. D. A brief introduction to Irish literature. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. C 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了爱尔兰著名诗人威廉·巴特勒·叶芝的生平经历、创作历程、诗歌风格及成就，展现了他对爱尔兰文学和文化的重要贡献。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Yeats attended art school in Dublin, but he soon left to concentrate on poetry. It was apparent that his medium was not the brush but the pen. He first began writing poetry at the age of seventeen, and two short works were published in The Dublin University Review in 1885.(叶芝在都柏林的艺术学校就读，但他很快离开，专心研究诗歌。显然，他的创作媒介不是画笔，而是钢笔。他17岁时首次开始写诗，1885年有两篇短篇作品发表在《都柏林大学评论》上)”可推断，叶芝对诗歌抱有浓厚兴趣，否则不会放弃艺术学校转而专注于诗歌创作，且早早发表诗作。故选A项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His devotion to Ireland was so intense that he returned to live in the wildest of its counties, to integrate himself with the problems of his own land, and express a life that had never been given full expression. From the countryside around Sligo he got something much more earthly — a knowledge of the life of the peasantry and of their folklore.(他对爱尔兰的热爱如此强烈，以至于他回到爱尔兰最荒凉的一个郡居住，融入自己国家的种种问题之中，表达一种从未被充分表达过的生活。从斯莱戈周围的乡村，他获得了更接地气的东西——对农民生活及其民俗的了解)”可知，叶芝回到爱尔兰乡村是为了获取农民生活和民俗相关的创作素材，为诗歌创作积累内容。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But as he matured as a poet, he turned to the writings on the Irish folkloric subjects that he would become the most famous for.(但随着他作为诗人逐渐成熟，他开始创作关于爱尔兰民俗主题的作品，而这也让他声名鹊起)”可知，叶芝因创作爱尔兰民俗主题的诗歌而变得最负盛名。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段介绍叶芝的出生背景、早期创作经历；第二段讲述其成长地点对诗歌创作的影响及回归乡村的经历；第三段说明其诗歌风格的转变及创作特色；第四段介绍他对爱尔兰文化的贡献；最后一段提及他获得诺贝尔文学奖及至今的地位。全文围绕叶芝这位爱尔兰诗人的生平、创作及成就展开，核心是对他的简要介绍。A项“一位杰出的爱尔兰诗人”符合全文对叶芝生平、创作及成就的介绍。故选A项。 B In 1922 British geologist Robert Sherlock put forth what is now considered to be the central argument for recognizing the Anthropocene (人类世) as a new geological era: the scale and character of human activities have become so great as to compete with natural forces. About one hundred years later, geologists have broadly accepted Sherlock’s core idea, and the Anthropocene Working Group has proposed Crawford Lake in Canada as the official site for marking the Anthropocene. The proposal attracted a great deal of press, much of it focused on a misguided controversy over how narrowly to define the Anthropocene. Amid this debate, observers may have been left to wonder why defining this chapter in Earth’s history should matter to ordinary people at all. Sherlock was not a lone wolf. He built on the work of others. One was an American scholar George Marsh, who had called attention to deforestation and the role of humans as “disturbing agents”. In addition to revisiting deforestation, Sherlock described the changed courses of rivers through dams and canals; and the huge quantities of stuff people move while mining the raw materials of modern civilization. Human impacts were becoming so manifest, Sherlock argued, that the distinction between “natural” and “artificial” was becoming difficult to sustain. We needed a new term to study the effects of human activities on Earth. Scientists of later generations followed his footsteps. And in 2000 Eugene F. Stormer and Paul J. Crutzen formally proposed the word “Anthropocene” in a paper. But science is conservative in nature — the burden of proof is always on those making a novel claim — and the social and economic consequences of recognizing the adverse effects of burning fossil fuels have led to enormous resistance beyond scientific community. The definition of the Anthropocene matters for at least two reasons. First, it is a way for scientists to declare that the shifts going on around us are no small issue. Anthropogenic climate change is a profound change in the conditions of life on Earth. In countless ways, the past may no longer be a reliable guide to the future. We must rethink core assumptions about how we build our economies and our infrastructures, how we travel, and even how we eat. Second, the definition of the Anthropocene extends the conversation beyond climate change. What geologists can now see in rocks — from the subtle to the gross — points to the widespread and lasting impact of human activities on Earth. It is common for people to say that as climate change proceeds, we can “just adapt”. Some wealthy people even think that, if necessary, they will move to higher ground or lower latitudes. No doubt some people will become climate refugees, either voluntarily or under force. But the definition of the Anthropocene reminds us that the challenge we face is geological in scale. It affects the whole Earth. It reminds us that as this new era unfolds, there won’t be anywhere to hide. 35. What can we learn about the Anthropocene? A. It is driven by dramatic climate change. B. It is approved as a definite geological era. C. It highlights the impact of human activities. D. It marks the unique features of Crawford Lake. 36. What can be inferred from the passage? A. A shift in mindset of responsibility is in great need. B. Geological changes in rocks remain to be uncovered. C. The proof of new claims makes science conservative. D. The press focuses on the significance of the Anthropocene. 37. What does the word “manifest” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Direct. B. Diverse. C. Negative. D. Striking. 38. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Does the Anthropocene Matter? B. What Does the Anthropocene Tell Us? C. Can Humans Adapt to the Anthropocene? D. How Can Humans Reduce Anthropogenic Impact? 【答案】35. C 36. A 37. D 38. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“人类世”这一概念展开，讨论了其定义，科学意义以及社会影响。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1922 British geologist Robert Sherlock put forth what is now considered to be the central argument for recognizing the Anthropocene (人类世) as a new geological era: the scale and character of human activities have become so great as to compete with natural forces.(1922年，英国地质学家罗伯特·歇洛克提出了人类世是一个新的地质时代的核心论点：人类活动的规模和性质已经变得如此之大，以至于可以与自然力量相竞争)”可知，人类世强调人类活动的影响。故选C。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“We must rethink core assumptions about how we build our economies and our infrastructures, how we travel, and even how we eat.(我们必须重新思考我们如何建设经济和基础设施，如何旅行，甚至如何饮食等核心假设)”以及最后一段“It reminds us that as this new era unfolds, there won’t be anywhere to hide.(它提醒我们，随着这个新时代的展开，我们将无处可藏)”可知，我们需要转变责任心态，承担更多的责任。故选A。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the distinction between “natural” and “artificial” was becoming difficult to sustain(“自然”和“人工”之间的区别越来越难以维持)”可知，人类的影响变得如此明显，以至于“自然”和“人为”之间的区别难以维持。故划线词意思是“显著的，引人注目的”。故选D。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“人类世”这一概念展开，讨论了其定义，科学意义以及社会影响。结合倒数第三段中“The definition of the Anthropocene matters for at least two reasons.(人类世的定义之所以重要，至少有两个原因)”定义人类世很重要，它彰显人类活动影响，还提醒我们需转变观念，因为人类面临的挑战规模巨大，无处可躲。因此，A选项“人类世重要吗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 39. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A. They have grown in diversity. B. They are mainly from rural areas. C. They have adapted to urban pollution. D. They tend to avoid human contact. 40. Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A. To present a new ecological concept. B. To stress the constant city development. C To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D. To explain the reduced ecological harm. 41. What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A. Lowered rates of disease spread. B. An improved sense of well-being. C. Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D. Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 42. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A. A slower pace of urbanization. B. Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C. Advanced biological technologies. D. An adaptive mindset of coexistence. 【答案】39. A 40. C 41. B 42. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。全球城市野生动物数量与多样性增长，城市热岛效应、充足食物等使其繁荣，带来健康益处但也存在隐患，城市通过创新设计推动人与野生动物共存。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. (这些可不是普通的鸽子和麻雀，而是鹰和猫头鹰，甚至还有一些非本土物种，它们居然也觉得城市环境十分宜人。)”可知，城市野生动物在种类上变得更加丰富了。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” (城市热岛效应通常被视为城市发展带来的负面后果，但它却造就了许多物种趋之若鹜的微气候环境。温暖的气温延长了作物的生长季节，提供了无霜期，并在单个城市街区内部形成了多样化的微小栖息地。城市环境还提供了丰富的食物资源。在多伦多，浣熊已经学会了打开垃圾桶的一些技巧。食物废弃物的持续供应以及自然界中捕食动物数量的减少，造就了生态学家所说的“城市生态释放。”)”可知，提及“城市生态释放”这一概念旨在展示城市对野生动物的友好程度。故选C。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. (城市野生动物数量的激增不仅改变了生态系统，还为人类带来了健康益处。研究表明，在生物多样性较高的地区生活的人群患自身免疫性疾病的比例更低。心理健康方面的益处同样显著：与未曾与野生动物接触的居民相比，那些与野生动物有过接触的市民报告称压力更低，情绪也更好。)”可知，城市野生动物数量的激增会带来一种更加强烈的幸福感。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. (关键在于将城市重新构想为一个相互关联的生态系统。随着城市化进程的加快，关于如何实现和谐共处的经验教训变得愈发重要。)”可知，对于城市中的野生动物而言，实现和谐共存的关键因素是一种适应性的共存思维模式。故选D。 D This winter, the city council is working with local cultural groups to offer a range of public activities.

This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, honking (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in 24 years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. 47. What does the writer’s weakness bring out in people? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. How did drivers show understanding after seeing the flashlights? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Why does the writer oppose pretending to be strong? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What message does the author want to convey through his experience? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】47. Kindness./ Kindness in people. 48. By waiting patiently./ By waiting calmly./ They waited patiently. 49. It hides kindness./ It prevents kindness. 50. Showing weakness reveals a deeply rooted kindness in others’ hearts and can connect us all. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者结合自身轮椅经历和一次高速驾驶的经历，讲述了示弱并非软弱，反而能唤醒他人的善意，告诉人们不必刻意假装坚强，适当展现脆弱能让彼此感受到人性的美好。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“But I have found that my weakness brings out kindness in people.(但我发现我的脆弱唤起了人们心中的善意。)”可知，作者的脆弱能让人们展现出内心的善意。故填Kindness./ Kindness in people. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.(但他们并没有变得不耐烦和生气，而是选择等待，因为他们知道前面的司机在某种程度上处于弱势。)”可知，司机们看到闪光灯后通过耐心等待的方式表达了理解。故填By waiting patiently./ By waiting calmly./ They waited patiently. 【49题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段“But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.(只有当我们不再假装勇敢和坚强时，才能让人们展现出他们心中的善意。)”可推断，作者反对假装坚强是因为这种行为会掩盖、阻碍他人善意的表达。故填It hides kindness./ It prevents kindness. 【50题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第一段“But I have found that my weakness brings out kindness in people.(但我发现我的脆弱唤起了人们心中的善意。)”和第二段“They don’t get to see this soft side of others. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.(他们看不到别人温柔的一面。只有当我们不再假装勇敢和坚强时，才能让人们展现出他们心中的善意。)”可知，作者想传达的是示弱能唤起他人的善意，让我们看到他人温柔的一面。故填Showing weakness brings out others’ kindness and helps us see their soft side. 四、写作 第一节 概要写作(共1题;满分10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main poin(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Noise-Cancelling Headphones: A Double-Edged Sword for Hearing? They are prized for making the daily trip more bearable and creating a barrier against the noise of daily life. But some specialists suspect that overusing the noise-cancelling headphones which constantly blocking out background noise may have unintended consequences. Renee Almeida, an adult audiology clinical lead at Imperial College healthcare NHS trust, has seen an increase in adults coming to her clinic with hearing issues only for tests to suggest their hearing is fine. The problem is with their brain, not their ears. They might fail to locate where a sound is coming from, or struggle to follow a conversation on the train, in a bar or at a restaurant. The condition, known as auditory processing disorder, is often diagnosed in children, so the rise in adults with similar issues struck Almeida as odd. Almeida suspects prolonged headphone use, which limits the brain’s exposure to multiple sounds, might be responsible. “Normally, our brains sort thousands of sounds and prioritize important ones,” Almeida explains.” But noise-cancelling headphones deliver only one sound source — music or podcasts — depriving the brain of practice in distinguishing speech from background noise.” However, for Harvey Dillon, a professor of auditory science at the University of Manchester, Almeida’s idea is an assumption yet to be tested.” There is no research investigating the link between the use of noise-cancelling headphones and reduced auditory processing ability,” he says. He cautions that loud music can damage neurons (神经元) in the auditory system. “It may be that listening to loud music is the cause of the auditory processing problem, not the noise-cancelling feature,” he says.” If so, noise cancelling could be a good feature, as it allows one to listen to music without interference from background noise.” While theories about headphone-related harm remain unproven, experts agree on one point: understanding how modern listening habits reshape auditory processing requires urgent scientific attention. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Some specialists suspect overusing noise-cancelling headphones may cause auditory processing disorder as they limit the brain’s sound exposure Others say it’s unproven. Experts stress the need for scientific study. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了降噪耳机可能对听觉处理能力产生的影响，专家对此持不同观点，并强调需要进一步科学研究。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ① Noise-cancelling headphones are valued for blocking background noise, but overuse may lead to unintended consequences. ② Some adults exhibit hearing issues like sound localization difficulties, possibly due to prolonged headphone use limiting the brain’s exposure to multiple sounds. ③ Another expert argues this theory lacks research evidence, suggesting loud music volume might be the real cause of auditory problems. ④ Experts agree that scientific studies are urgently needed to understand how modern listening habits reshape auditory processing. 2. 缜密构思 将第1、2要点整合为降噪耳机的潜在危害，第3要点作为反驳观点，第4要点总结专家共识。 3. 遣词造句 Overuse of noise-cancelling headphones may impair auditory processing by limiting the brain’s exposure to diverse sounds, though this link remains unproven. Experts urge researches to clarify how modern listening habits affect hearing. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Overuse of noise-cancelling headphones may impair auditory processing by limiting the brain’s exposure to diverse sounds, though this link remains unproven.(通过by doing sth表方式，though引导让步从句，平衡地呈现争议。) 【高分句型2】Experts urge researches to clarify how modern listening habits affect hearing.(使用不定式结构作目的状语，how引导宾语从句，简洁强调科学研究的必要性。) 第二节 书面表达(共1题;满分25分) 52. 假定你是高三年级的李华，近期你校英文通讯社针对联考考生填报志愿开展了一项主题为“Which Matters More?”的调查。请根据下面的调查结果写一篇短文。内容包括：①介绍调查结果并简要说明；②给出你的看法。 注意：①词数100左右；②可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；③首句已给出，不计入总词数。 Which Matters More? 个人兴趣 Personal Interest 46% 职业前景 Career Prospects 22% 父母师长的建议Advice from Parents and Teachers 30% 其他因素 Other Factors 2% Recently, our School English Newsletter conducted a survey on what matters most when students choose their college majors. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Recently, our School English Newsletter conducted a survey on what matters most when students choose their college majors. The results reveal that personal interest ranks first, with 46% of students placing it at the top, indicating a growing desire for self-realization. Meanwhile, 30% value advice from parents and teachers, showing continued respect for experience and guidance. By contrast, only 22% regard career prospects as the decisive factor, while other considerations play a minimal role. In my view, personal interest deserves priority, for it fuels long-term motivation and sustained effort. Nevertheless, interest should not be pursued blindly.

It was his father’s career as an artist that took the family to London for four years during Yeats’ boyhood. His mother was from Sligo. It was she who introduced William to the Irish folktales which permeated (渗透)his early poetry. Yeats attended art school in Dublin, but he soon left to concentrate on poetry. It was apparent that his medium was not the brush but the pen. He first began writing poetry at the age of seventeen, and two short works were published in The Dublin University Review in 1885. Yeats’s childhood and young manhood were spent between London Sligo and Dublin, and each of these places contributed something to his poetic development. His devotion to Ireland was so intense that he returned to live in the wildest of its counties, to integrate himself with the problems of his own land, and express a life that had never been given full expression. From the countryside around Sligo he got something much more earthly — a knowledge of the life of the peasantry and of their folklore (民俗). Heavily influenced by the works of Shelley, he wrote in a conventional fashion about what every seventeen-year-old boy worries about. But as he matured as a poet, he turned to the writings on the Irish folkloric subjects that he would become the most famous for. He explored history and community through a complex blend (融合)of landscape and fantasy that inspired the next generation of Modernist poets. He learned to see his poetry as a contribution to a rejuvenated Irish culture. With the cooperation of a few others, Yeats helped to establish not only the Gaelic League but also the Irish Literary Theater. He also re-created folklore and perfected a poetry of music. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, and remains to this day one of Ireland’s best-selling and most recognized poetic figures. 31. What can be inferred about Yeats from the first paragraph? A. He showed an interest in poetry. B. He was left out of the art school. C. He majored in literature at college. D. He was homeschooled by his mother. 32. Why did Yeats return to the Irish countryside? A. To get closer to nature. B. To gather writing materials. C. To experience peasants’ life. D. To recall the days of his youth. 33. Yeats became best-known as a poet for the writing of ________. A. his worries as a teenager B. Shelley’s influence on him C. the Irish folklore subjects D. his desire for a fantasy world 34. What is the text mainly about? A. An established Irish poet. B. The features of Irish folklore. C. The rejuvenation of Irish poetry. D. A brief introduction to Irish literature. B In 1922 British geologist Robert Sherlock put forth what is now considered to be the central argument for recognizing the Anthropocene (人类世) as a new geological era: the scale and character of human activities have become so great as to compete with natural forces. About one hundred years later, geologists have broadly accepted Sherlock’s core idea, and the Anthropocene Working Group has proposed Crawford Lake in Canada as the official site for marking the Anthropocene. The proposal attracted a great deal of press, much of it focused on a misguided controversy over how narrowly to define the Anthropocene. Amid this debate, observers may have been left to wonder why defining this chapter in Earth’s history should matter to ordinary people at all. Sherlock was not a lone wolf. He built on the work of others. One was an American scholar George Marsh, who had called attention to deforestation and the role of humans as “disturbing agents”. In addition to revisiting deforestation, Sherlock described the changed courses of rivers through dams and canals; and the huge quantities of stuff people move while mining the raw materials of modern civilization. Human impacts were becoming so manifest, Sherlock argued, that the distinction between “natural” and “artificial” was becoming difficult to sustain. We needed a new term to study the effects of human activities on Earth. Scientists of later generations followed his footsteps. And in 2000 Eugene F. Stormer and Paul J. Crutzen formally proposed the word “Anthropocene” in a paper. But science is conservative in nature — the burden of proof is always on those making a novel claim — and the social and economic consequences of recognizing the adverse effects of burning fossil fuels have led to enormous resistance beyond scientific community. The definition of the Anthropocene matters for at least two reasons. First, it is a way for scientists to declare that the shifts going on around us are no small issue. Anthropogenic climate change is a profound change in the conditions of life on Earth. In countless ways, the past may no longer be a reliable guide to the future. We must rethink core assumptions about how we build our economies and our infrastructures, how we travel, and even how we eat. Second, the definition of the Anthropocene extends the conversation beyond climate change. What geologists can now see in rocks — from the subtle to the gross — points to the widespread and lasting impact of human activities on Earth. It is common for people to say that as climate change proceeds, we can “just adapt”. Some wealthy people even think that, if necessary, they will move to higher ground or lower latitudes. No doubt some people will become climate refugees, either voluntarily or under force. But the definition of the Anthropocene reminds us that the challenge we face is geological in scale. It affects the whole Earth. It reminds us that as this new era unfolds, there won’t be anywhere to hide. 35. What can we learn about the Anthropocene? A. It is driven by dramatic climate change. B. It is approved as a definite geological era. C. It highlights the impact of human activities. D. It marks the unique features of Crawford Lake. 36. What can be inferred from the passage? A. A shift in mindset of responsibility is in great need. B. Geological changes in rocks remain to be uncovered. C. The proof of new claims makes science conservative. D. The press focuses on the significance of the Anthropocene. 37. What does the word “manifest” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Direct. B. Diverse. C. Negative. D. Striking. 38. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Does the Anthropocene Matter? B. What Does the Anthropocene Tell Us? C. Can Humans Adapt to the Anthropocene? D. How Can Humans Reduce Anthropogenic Impact? C Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 39. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A. They have grown in diversity. B. They are mainly from rural areas. C. They have adapted to urban pollution. D. They tend to avoid human contact. 40. Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A To present a new ecological concept. B. To stress the constant city development. C. To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D. To explain the reduced ecological harm. 41. What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A. Lowered rates of disease spread. B. An improved sense of well-being. C. Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D. Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 42. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A. A slower pace of urbanization. B. Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C. Advanced biological technologies. D. An adaptive mindset of coexistence.

This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, honking (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in 24 years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. 47. What does the writer’s weakness bring out in people? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. How did drivers show understanding after seeing the flashlights? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 49.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main poin(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Noise-Cancelling Headphones: A Double-Edged Sword for Hearing? They are prized for making the daily trip more bearable and creating a barrier against the noise of daily life. But some specialists suspect that overusing the noise-cancelling headphones which constantly blocking out background noise may have unintended consequences. Renee Almeida, an adult audiology clinical lead at Imperial College healthcare NHS trust, has seen an increase in adults coming to her clinic with hearing issues only for tests to suggest their hearing is fine. The problem is with their brain, not their ears. They might fail to locate where a sound is coming from, or struggle to follow a conversation on the train, in a bar or at a restaurant. The condition, known as auditory processing disorder, is often diagnosed in children, so the rise in adults with similar issues struck Almeida as odd. Almeida suspects prolonged headphone use, which limits the brain’s exposure to multiple sounds, might be responsible. “Normally, our brains sort thousands of sounds and prioritize important ones,” Almeida explains.” But noise-cancelling headphones deliver only one sound source — music or podcasts — depriving the brain of practice in distinguishing speech from background noise.” However, for Harvey Dillon, a professor of auditory science at the University of Manchester, Almeida’s idea is an assumption yet to be tested.” There is no research investigating the link between the use of noise-cancelling headphones and reduced auditory processing ability,” he says. He cautions that loud music can damage neurons (神经元) in the auditory system. “It may be that listening to loud music is the cause of the auditory processing problem, not the noise-cancelling feature,” he says.” If so, noise cancelling could be a good feature, as it allows one to listen to music without interference from background noise.” While theories about headphone-related harm remain unproven, experts agree on one point: understanding how modern listening habits reshape auditory processing requires urgent scientific attention. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 书面表达(共1题;满分25分) 52. 假定你是高三年级的李华，近期你校英文通讯社针对联考考生填报志愿开展了一项主题为“Which Matters More?”的调查。请根据下面的调查结果写一篇短文。内容包括：①介绍调查结果并简要说明；②给出你的看法。 注意：①词数100左右；②可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；③首句已给出，不计入总词数。 Which Matters More? 个人兴趣 Personal Interest 46% 职业前景 Career Prospects 22% 父母师长的建议Advice from Parents and Teachers 30% 其他因素 Other Factors 2% Recently, our School English Newsletter conducted a survey on what matters most when students choose their college majors. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
