Molly Shafer,18. spent hundreds of hours painting portraits of her classmates, many of whom she had barely spoken to in years, hoping to reconnect before parting ways for good. Shafer had once been outgoing in elementary and middle school, but as she entered high school, social anxiety made in harder to maintain friendships. A 2013 review in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders found that social anxiety often leads to a felt lack of connection, not necessarily because peers are rejecting the individual, but because anxiety can distort how social signals are interpreted Classmates admitted they hadn’t spoken to Shafer in years, nor had they hung out at all. But instead of withdrawing further, Shafer took it upon herself to reach out in an unusual way. She turned her garage loft into an art studio and committed to painting a portrait of every student she remembered from earlier school years. Working about four hours each day, she completed 44 painting over 600 hours, averaging 13 hours per portrait. At the end of the school year, Shafer gifted the paintings to the students as a parting gesture. The response was emotional. “It’s truly unbelievable,” one classmate said. Some classmates were touched, while others admitted they felt a deep regret for not staying connected or making more effort to include her. “We did have that friendship, and I didn’t put forth the work to keep it,” one student confessed. Another added, “All of us probably feel a little regret for not paying more attention. For Shafer, the project was about healing for herself and others. She hoped that by making herself vulnerable, her classmates might see her more clearly and reflect on their own assumptions. “You can’t go through life thinking that you don’t have friends because they don’t like you, because that’s not the case. People aren’t thinking that hard about you. It’s all in your head. You just have to try,” she said. 4. Why did Shafer paint portraits of her classmates? A. To show her gratitude for their aid B. To help classmates remember their old days. C. To win praise from the whole community. D. To reconnect with them before graduation. 5. What does the underlined word “distort” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Improve. B. Record C. Accept. D. Misunderstand. 6. How did Shafer’s classmates feel after receiving the portraits? A. Jealous and anxious B. Moved and regretful. C. Indifferent and bored. D. Angry and disappointed. 7. What does Shafer’s experience show? A. Silence is gold B. It’s never too late to reach out. C. Others’ opinions decide one’s self-worth. D. Anxiety stops people from making friends. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了威斯康星州沃纳基高中的一名毕业班学生莫莉·谢弗，在毕业前用一种非常私人的方式，即绘制同学肖像画，来与同学们重新建立联系，这一举动感动了整个社区。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Molly Shafer,18. spent hundreds of hours painting portraits of her classmates, many of whom she had barely spoken to in years, hoping to reconnect before parting ways for good.(18岁的莫莉·谢弗花了数百个小时为她的同学们画肖像画，其中许多人她已经好几年没怎么说过话了，她希望在彻底分道扬镳之前重新建立联系。)”可知，谢弗为同学画肖像画是为了在毕业前与他们重新建立联系。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“social anxiety often leads to a felt lack of connection, not necessarily because peers are rejecting the individual, but because anxiety can distort how social signals are interpreted.(社交焦虑往往会让人感觉缺乏联系，这不一定是因为同龄人排斥自己，而是因为焦虑会distort对社交信号的解读。)”可知，前半句否定“同龄人排斥”的原因，后半句解释真正原因——焦虑影响对社交信号的理解，导致“感觉缺乏联系”。结合语境，焦虑应是“扭曲、误解”了社交信号，才会让人产生错误认知。由此可知，distort意为“扭曲、误解”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The response was emotional. “It’s truly unbelievable,” one classmate said. Some classmates were touched, while others admitted they felt a deep regret for not staying connected or making more effort to include her.(反应很情绪化。“这真的难以置信，”一位同学说。有些同学很感动，而另一些同学则承认，他们为自己没有保持联系或没有做出更多努力让她融入而感到深深的遗憾。)”可知，谢弗的同学收到肖像画后感动并感到后悔。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For Shafer, the project was about healing for herself and others. She hoped that by making herself vulnerable, her classmates might see her more clearly and reflect on their own assumptions. “You can’t go through life thinking that you don’t have friends because they don’t like you, because that’s not the case. People aren’t thinking that hard about you. It’s all in your head. You just have to try,” she said.(对谢弗来说，这个项目是为了治愈自己和他人。她希望通过让自己变得脆弱，她的同学们可能会更清楚地看到她，并反思自己的假设。“你不能一辈子都认为你没有朋友是因为他们不喜欢你，因为事实并非如此。人们并不会那样费心去想你这一切都在你的脑海里。你只需要尝试，”她说。)”可知，谢弗的经历表明，无论何时，只要尝试去与人建立联系，都不会太晚。故选B。 C Analytical reading is defined as a high-level cognitive (认知的) skill and a systematic reading strategy that serves the core purpose of exploring texts more deeply to fully comprehend both the message and the underlying purpose or ultimate goal of the text at hand. Whether you apply analytical reading to academic school assignments, daily leisure reading, or professional work-related materials — such as reports, proposals, or research papers — this skill is undoubtedly one of the most essential and valuable competencies for readers across all contexts. The importance of analytical thinking in both reading and writing has much deeper roots than many people might initially expect. Engaging in analytical reading allows readers to gain a far more profound understanding of the text in question, efficiently extract its key core ideas and supporting details, carefully recognize and analyze its inbuilt structural logic — such as argumentative frameworks or narrative sequences — and conduct objective critical analysis of the author’s claims, evidence, and reasoning. Through this comprehensive process, readers are able to draw sound, well-founded conclusions about the text’s value and meaning. Needless to say, this entire deliberate and thoughtful process offers several notable benefits for those who make the conscious effort to apply it to their regular reading sessions. For starters, it serves as an effective way to ensure that you attain the most rewarding and insightful reading experience, as it encourages active engagement rather than passive skimming. Another key benefit of reading analytically is the fact that you will achieve much better comprehension and longer-lasting memory levels by the end of your reading session. Admittedly, the analytical reading process does require more time and mental focus, so you will inevitably get through far fewer pages in the same time frame than you would with casual, passive reading. However, the depth of understanding and practical value you extract from those pages will undeniably be much higher, making the investment of time well worthwhile. The analytical reading definition does mention that it is a high-level cognitive skill, but what does this description actually mean in practice? Well, it means that this skill can only be truly mastered by readers with a high degree of reading proficiency, including strong vocabulary, critical thinking abilities, and text interpretation skills. Furthermore, there is actually a clear causal relationship between reading proficiency and analytical reading skills: the only reliable way to become a proficient reader is through consistent practice of analytical reading, and in turn, the higher one’s existing reading proficiency, the more accurate, and effective their analytical reading will be. 8. What can we learn about analytical reading from the first two paragraphs? A. It has a rather narrow range of application. B. It helps readers better grasp the text’s purpose. C. It intends to develop readers’ critical thinking. D. It holds greater importance in reading than in writing. 9. How does the author mainly present the benefit in the fourth paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By defining a concept. C. By citing typical examples. D. By presenting specific data. 10. What is the probable relationship between analytical reading and reading proficiency? A. High proficiency is key to effective analytical reading. B. Analytical reading barely relates to reading proficiency. C. Reading proficiency improves without analytical reading. D. Analytical reading matters more than reading proficiency. 11. What topic will the author most likely discuss next in the text? A. Examples of analytical reading in daily life. B. Challenges in practicing analytical reading. C. Steps to develop analytical reading skills. D. Applications of analytical reading in different fields. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍分析性阅读的定义、重要性、益处，以及它与阅读熟练度之间的关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Analytical reading is defined as a high-level cognitive (认知的) skill and a systematic reading strategy that serves the core purpose of exploring texts more deeply to fully comprehend both the message and the underlying purpose or ultimate goal of the text at hand.(分析性阅读被定义为一种高级认知技能和系统的阅读策略，其核心目的是更深入地探索文章，以充分理解手头文章的信息以及潜在目的或最终目标。)”可知，分析性阅读能帮助读者更好地把握文章的目的。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Admittedly, the analytical reading process does require more time and mental focus, so you will inevitably get through far fewer pages in the same time frame than you would with casual, passive reading. However, the depth of understanding and practical value you extract from those pages will undeniably be much higher, making the investment of time well worthwhile.(诚然，分析性阅读过程确实需要更多的时间和精神专注，因此，与随意、被动的阅读相比，你在同一时间框架内会不可避免地阅读较少的页数。然而，你从这些页面中提取的理解深度和实用价值无疑会高得多，这使得投入的时间非常值得。)”可知，作者通过将分析性阅读与被动阅读在相同时间内的阅读页数和提取价值进行对比，来呈现分析性阅读的益处。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Well, it means that this skill can only be truly mastered by readers with a high degree of reading proficiency, including strong vocabulary, critical thinking abilities, and text interpretation skills. Furthermore, there is actually a clear causal relationship between reading proficiency and analytical reading skills: the only reliable way to become a proficient reader is through consistent practice of analytical reading, and in turn, the higher one’s existing reading proficiency, the more accurate, and effective their analytical reading will be. (嗯，这意味着只有具备高阅读熟练度的读者才能真正掌握这项技能，高阅读熟练度包括强大的词汇量、批判性思维能力和文本解读能力。此外，阅读熟练度和分析性阅读技能之间实际上存在明显的因果关系：成为熟练读者的唯一可靠途径是通过持续的分析性阅读实践，反过来，一个人现有的阅读熟练度越高，其分析性阅读就越准确有效。)”可知，高熟练度是有效分析性阅读的关键。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章已介绍分析性阅读的定义、重要性、益处及与阅读熟练度的关系，按照逻辑，接下来最可能讨论如何培养分析性阅读技能，即培养该技能的步骤。故选C。 D The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated. Attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves. Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves. Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively. 12. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1? A. Top predators always cause livestock loss. B. More harmful predators are more accepted locally. C. Locals tolerate different top predators equally. D. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators. 13. How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves? A. As sacred Buddhist beings. B. As tricky, fearsome hunters. C. Less threatening than snow leopards. D. As necessary contributors to the ecosystem. 14. What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have? A. It puts snow leopards in danger. B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves. C. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance. D. It slows the protection of carnivores overall. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Protect Snow Leopards More? B. Who’s More Tolerated? C. How to Save Wolves? D. Where’s the Balance? 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出喜马拉雅地区的放牧社区对雪豹和狼存在态度差异，雪豹更受包容，而狼常被忽视，文章强调需平衡保护两者，以维护当地生态系统的稳定。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.(尽管雪豹造成了更大的牲畜损失，但这些社区对雪豹却普遍表现出更大的容忍和接纳态度。这体现了“捕食者悖论”，即更具破坏性的捕食者反而更易得到容忍。)”可知，“捕食者悖论”描述的是尽管雪豹对牲畜造成的损失更大，但这些社区对雪豹却表现出更大的容忍和接受度，即更有害的捕食者在当地却更受欢迎，故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators.(与人们对雪豹的敬畏之情形成鲜明对比的是，狼普遍遭到厌恶和惧怕。这种负面看法源于民间传说，在这些故事中，狼被描绘成狡猾且无情的捕食者。)”可知，喜马拉雅的放牧社区将狼视为狡猾、可怕的猎手，故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.(此外，关键的政策文件将雪豹保护工作置于优先地位，却忽视了狼的生态重要性。这一失误减缓了食肉动物的保护进程，并引发了当地社区对狼的怨恨。)”可知，忽视狼的保护会减缓食肉动物的整体保护进程，故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.(雪豹和狼对喜马拉雅生态系统而言都至关重要，但保护工作却绝大多数都倾向于雪豹。这种关注和资源分配上的不平衡加剧了狼所面临的挑战，凸显出需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了雪豹和狼在喜马拉雅生态系统中的重要性，以及保护工作中存在的失衡问题，强调需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种，因此D项“Where’s the Balance?(平衡在哪里？)”适合作为文章的标题。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。 Whether they’re a member of your household or a visitor around the holidays, difficult family members can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. ___16___ Express your needs using “I” statements. Starting a statement with “you”tends to sound more like an accusation, while “T” statements allow the focus to be on your own thoughts and feelings. A difficult family member might be more responsive if you speak to them using an “T” statement. For instance, you could say, “___17___” ___18___ Draw some clear lines in the sand to help make your potential interactions more comfortable and manageable. This might involve limiting the amount of time you spend together, refusing to discuss certain topics, or refusing to be spoken to in a certain way. When something is violated, say something like: “I don’t like it when you use pet names with me. Please use my name when we’re speaking.” Apply conflict resolution strategies when necessary. Instead of approaching arguments and tense conversations from an “only one of us can be right” perspective, focus on finding peaceful and respectful ways to resolve the conflict, like saying “We’ll have to agree to disagree on this. ” ___19___ Some family members are a magnet for conflict, and some fights just aren’t worth picking. Avoid sensitive content in conversation. ___20___Thus, it’s best to keep them in the “do not discuss” zone. If you’re worried about uncomfortable topics being brought up, try to join the conversation with someone who shares your viewpoints so you don’t feel isolated. A. Create clear boundaries with relatives. B. It also helps to choose your battles wisely. C. Restrict the time you spend with relatives. D. You need to stop poking your nose into my personal life. E. I feel a bit judged when assumptions are made about my personal life. F. Topics like politics and religion definitely have the potential to get people annoyed. G. Thankfully, simple strategies can go a long way when you're dealing with negative relatives. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【原文】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了应对难相处的家庭成员的几种策略。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Whether they’re a member of your household or a visitor around the holidays, difficult family members can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being.(无论是家里的成员还是假期来访的客人，难相处的家庭成员都会对你的精神和情感健康造成影响)以及后文紧接着介绍具体策略，可知，此处需要过渡句引出解决方案。选项 G“值得庆幸的是，在与负面的亲戚打交道时，简单的策略能起到很大作用”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据第二段 “A difficult family member might be more responsive if you speak to them using an “T” statement. For instance, you could say(如果你用“我”开头的话，一个难相处的家庭成员可能会更有反应。例如，你可以说)”可知，此处需举例说明 “我” 语句的用法。选项 E“当有人对我的个人生活做出假设时，我觉得有点被评判了”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Draw some clear lines in the sand to help make your potential interactions more comfortable and manageable.(划定明确的界限，让潜在的互动更舒适、易管理)”可知本段主题为设定界限。选项 A“与亲戚建立明确的界限”概括段落核心内容，适合作为小标题。符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Some family members are a magnet for conflict, and some fights just aren’t worth picking.(有些家庭成员容易引发冲突，有些争吵不值得去挑起)”可知此处强调选择性应对冲突。选项 B“明智地选择战斗也很有帮助”与下文内容呼应，指出合理选择冲突的重要性。符合语境故选B。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Thus, it’s best to keep them in the “do not discuss” zone.(因此，最好将它们列为 “不讨论” 的话题)”可知此处需说明应避免的敏感话题。选项 F“像政治和宗教这样的话题肯定有可能让人恼火”列举具体敏感话题，与后文“thus” 形成因果关系。符合语境。故F。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My husband, our children and I have had wonderful camping experiences over the past ten years.

Recently, there has been a growing trend of students filming short videos on campus. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Good morning, boys and girls! Recently, there’s been a growing trend of students filming short videos on campus. It’s a privilege for me to share my perspectives. Undoubtedly, filming short videos is a fantastic way to record school life and capture memorable moments. However, this phenomenon also brings inevitable problems. Some classmates film in class, which not only distracts themselves but also disrupts others’ learning. Worse still, posting videos without permission invades others’ privacy, causing discomfort and harm. To address these issues, I suggest we film only during breaks. Additionally, it’s crucial to ask for permission before recording others. In conclusion, let’s strive to be mindful sharers, balancing fun with respect for everyone on campus.

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. l knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.” “Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” l asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store. the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money.” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s. l was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. l knew that because he never went out for recess(休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I fingered the ten dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grandma and I waited breathlessly in the bush for Bobby Decker’s front door to open. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.

Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car. Grandma and l waited breathlessly in the bush for Bobby Decker’s front door to open. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time, I decided to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的奶奶在圣诞节这天给了作者10美元，让作者去给有困难的人买点东西，于是作者给鲍比·德克尔买了件外套。并和奶奶一起悄悄送到了他家门口，鲍比·德克尔看到外套很惊讶，表达了对圣诞老人的感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，奶奶帮我用圣诞纸包好大衣”可知，第一段可描写作者和奶奶去送大衣的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“奶奶和我在灌木丛中气喘吁吁地等着鲍比·德克尔家的前门打开”可知，第二段可描写鲍比·德克尔看到外套后的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：送大衣——悄悄放在门口——鲍比·德克尔外出查看——看到外套——鲍比·德克尔惊讶——鲍比·德克尔感谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 意识到：realize/be aware of 看大：see/spot 放下：put down/place 情绪类 惊讶：astonished /surprised 自豪：proud / beamish 【点睛】[高分句型1] She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers.

B A graduating senior from Waunakee High School in Wisconsin quietly closed out her high school years with a deeply personal gesture that moved an entire community. Molly Shafer,18. spent hundreds of hours painting portraits of her classmates, many of whom she had barely spoken to in years, hoping to reconnect before parting ways for good. Shafer had once been outgoing in elementary and middle school, but as she entered high school, social anxiety made in harder to maintain friendships. A 2013 review in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders found that social anxiety often leads to a felt lack of connection, not necessarily because peers are rejecting the individual, but because anxiety can distort how social signals are interpreted Classmates admitted they hadn’t spoken to Shafer in years, nor had they hung out at all. But instead of withdrawing further, Shafer took it upon herself to reach out in an unusual way. She turned her garage loft into an art studio and committed to painting a portrait of every student she remembered from earlier school years. Working about four hours each day, she completed 44 painting over 600 hours, averaging 13 hours per portrait. At the end of the school year, Shafer gifted the paintings to the students as a parting gesture. The response was emotional. “It’s truly unbelievable,” one classmate said. Some classmates were touched, while others admitted they felt a deep regret for not staying connected or making more effort to include her. “We did have that friendship, and I didn’t put forth the work to keep it,” one student confessed. Another added, “All of us probably feel a little regret for not paying more attention. For Shafer, the project was about healing for herself and others. She hoped that by making herself vulnerable, her classmates might see her more clearly and reflect on their own assumptions. “You can’t go through life thinking that you don’t have friends because they don’t like you, because that’s not the case. People aren’t thinking that hard about you. It’s all in your head. You just have to try,” she said. 4. Why did Shafer paint portraits of her classmates? A. To show her gratitude for their aid B. To help classmates remember their old days. C. To win praise from the whole community. D. To reconnect with them before graduation. 5. What does the underlined word “distort” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Improve. B. Record C. Accept. D. Misunderstand. 6. How did Shafer’s classmates feel after receiving the portraits? A. Jealous and anxious B. Moved and regretful. C. Indifferent and bored. D. Angry and disappointed. 7. What does Shafer’s experience show? A. Silence is gold B. It’s never too late to reach out. C. Others’ opinions decide one’s self-worth. D. Anxiety stops people from making friends. C Analytical reading is defined as a high-level cognitive (认知的) skill and a systematic reading strategy that serves the core purpose of exploring texts more deeply to fully comprehend both the message and the underlying purpose or ultimate goal of the text at hand. Whether you apply analytical reading to academic school assignments, daily leisure reading, or professional work-related materials — such as reports, proposals, or research papers — this skill is undoubtedly one of the most essential and valuable competencies for readers across all contexts. The importance of analytical thinking in both reading and writing has much deeper roots than many people might initially expect. Engaging in analytical reading allows readers to gain a far more profound understanding of the text in question, efficiently extract its key core ideas and supporting details, carefully recognize and analyze its inbuilt structural logic — such as argumentative frameworks or narrative sequences — and conduct objective critical analysis of the author’s claims, evidence, and reasoning. Through this comprehensive process, readers are able to draw sound, well-founded conclusions about the text’s value and meaning. Needless to say, this entire deliberate and thoughtful process offers several notable benefits for those who make the conscious effort to apply it to their regular reading sessions. For starters, it serves as an effective way to ensure that you attain the most rewarding and insightful reading experience, as it encourages active engagement rather than passive skimming. Another key benefit of reading analytically is the fact that you will achieve much better comprehension and longer-lasting memory levels by the end of your reading session. Admittedly, the analytical reading process does require more time and mental focus, so you will inevitably get through far fewer pages in the same time frame than you would with casual, passive reading. However, the depth of understanding and practical value you extract from those pages will undeniably be much higher, making the investment of time well worthwhile. The analytical reading definition does mention that it is a high-level cognitive skill, but what does this description actually mean in practice? Well, it means that this skill can only be truly mastered by readers with a high degree of reading proficiency, including strong vocabulary, critical thinking abilities, and text interpretation skills. Furthermore, there is actually a clear causal relationship between reading proficiency and analytical reading skills: the only reliable way to become a proficient reader is through consistent practice of analytical reading, and in turn, the higher one’s existing reading proficiency, the more accurate, and effective their analytical reading will be. 8. What can we learn about analytical reading from the first two paragraphs? A. It has a rather narrow range of application. B. It helps readers better grasp the text’s purpose. C. It intends to develop readers’ critical thinking. D. It holds greater importance in reading than in writing. 9. How does the author mainly present the benefit in the fourth paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By defining a concept. C. By citing typical examples. D. By presenting specific data. 10.

Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated. Attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves. Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves. Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively. 12. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1? A. Top predators always cause livestock loss. B. More harmful predators are more accepted locally. C. Locals tolerate different top predators equally. D. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators. 13. How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves? A. As sacred Buddhist beings. B. As tricky, fearsome hunters. C. Less threatening than snow leopards. D. As necessary contributors to the ecosystem. 14. What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have? A. It puts snow leopards in danger. B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves. C. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance. D. It slows the protection of carnivores overall. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Protect Snow Leopards More? B. Who’s More Tolerated? C. How to Save Wolves? D. Where’s the Balance? 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。 Whether they’re a member of your household or a visitor around the holidays, difficult family members can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. ___16___ Express your needs using “I” statements.

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. l knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.” “Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” l asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store. the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money.” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s. l was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. l knew that because he never went out for recess(休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I fingered the ten dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grandma and I waited breathlessly in the bush for Bobby Decker’s front door to open. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
