It cannot be denied that the rise of modern technology has often come at the cost of the natural world. However, it’s sometimes possible for the two sides to exist in harmony. Actually, many of the world’s greatest inventions have been inspired by nature. For example, the Wright brothers, American aircraft engineers, took inspiration from the flight of birds, while underwater sound wave technology was inspired by the way whales and dolphins communicate. Meanwhile, robotics engineers often draw inspiration from the animal kingdom to create robots that can deal with challenging environments. It’s not just animals that have inspired useful inventions. The University of Hong Kong developed a tiny, energy-efficient machine. It was inspired by the design of tree seeds. Other plant-inspired inventions include green plastic and life-saving medicine. Like many people, I feel it’s time for technology to “return the favor” now. That is why I’m currently studying to become an environmental engineer. My dream is one day to create an invention that will significantly help deal with climate change. 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 International Artist magazine is calling for entries for its Art Prize Challenge Series, a continuing series of art competitions.

But in 2021, she stood by the remainder (残骸) of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive. Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline. Now, the 28-year-old is one of more than 200,000 Dallasites using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make their everyday commute (通勤). In order to cut costs, Colorado, a software developer, sold his car. When he owned a car, Colorado said he spent around $450 a month on payments and insurance alone. On top of that, he paid for gas, maintenance, and more — making his car expenses well above twice the amount he pays without one, he said. In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado. But no matter how DART develops, riding public transportation takes some amount of pre-planning based on bus and train schedules, Colorado said. His advice for new riders is: “Don’t give up when things get difficult.” Riding DART is more environmentally conscious, too, Hunter said, and she regularly runs into several of her neighbors while on transit. For Hunter, living without a car gives her peace from the stress of traffic and has helped her mental stability. “At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home.” Hunter said. Colorado said he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new. “You learn to see, appreciate, and soak in the value of taking a little time,” Colorado said. “It’s more about the journey than the destination. I think there’s a philosophy to it that you start to learn.” 24．What made Hunter use public transport earlier than planned? A．A serious car crash. B．Her move to downtown Dallas. C．Her graduation from university. D．The high cost of car maintenance. 25．What can be learned about DART from the text? A．It advocates a low-carbon transportation. B．It’s the primary cause of reduced car ownership. C．It has flexible schedules tailored for its users. D．It has been improved to better serve its users. 26．What do both Hunter and Colorado appreciate about their new lifestyle? A．The chance to make more friends. B．The stability of the public transport system. C．The personal time gained during the commute. D．The positive comments from their neighbors. 27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．When the Car Is Gone, the Journey Begins B．A Crash That Changed Dallas Traffic C．DART’s New Routes Win Riders Back D．Commute Options in Modern Cities 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，通过亨特和科罗拉多两位达拉斯居民的经历，讲述了他们放弃私家车、选择达拉斯地区快速交通系统（DART）通勤的原因与收获，展现了无车生活带来的经济、环境与精神层面的积极改变。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.(亨特从未想过自己的车会彻底报废。可在 2021 年，她却站在达拉斯高速公路旁，看着自己那辆 2008 款日产骐达的残骸，心中满是劫后余生的庆幸)和第二段中的“Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline(亨特曾承诺自己，等毕业搬到达拉斯市中心后就把车卖掉。这场事故加快了她的计划进程)可知，一场严重的车祸让亨特比原计划更早地开始使用公共交通。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado(2022年，DART对其公交网络进行了升级，这让科罗拉多等乘客的公共交通出行变得便利了许多)”可知，DART经过了优化升级，以便更好地为使用者服务。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第七段亨特的表述“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home(在工作日结束时，你可以享受回家的过程)，以及第八段科罗拉多的做法“he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new. (他把原本开车的时间用来在火车上阅读、观察周围的世界、探索自家周边街区，或是结识新朋友)可知，两人都很欣赏这种新生活方式中通勤途中所获得的个人时光。故选C项。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，亨特因车祸提前开启无车生活，科罗拉多为节约开支卖掉汽车，两人都选择了DART通勤，并且都在通勤的过程中收获了乐趣与感悟，正如最后一段科罗拉多所说“It’s more about the journey than the destination(重要的是旅途本身，而非目的地)”。A项“当汽车远去，旅途才真正开始”既点明了“放弃私家车”的核心事件，又契合文中“享受通勤过程”的主旨。为最佳标题。故选A项。 C A vintage lifestyle (复古生活方式) is a way of living that embraces the charm, elegance, and simplicity of the past. It emphasizes old-fashioned styles: decorate your home with classic furniture, vintage decorations and timeless art to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that’s far from modern fast-paced life. It embraces slow living, prioritizing quality over quantity — spend more time on meaningful activities and less on rushing through daily tasks. Additionally, it values handmade goods, such as those from knitting, woodworking or other traditional skills, which builds a deeper connection to the creation process. Embrace the vintage lifestyle by starting small and adding a few vintage elements into your daily routine. Create a space that reflects your personal style, explore local second-hand markets or antique stores, and experiment with traditional recipes. Over time, these little steps can transform your life into a richer, more meaningful experience. Gen Z’s fascination with the vintage lifestyle is by no means a blind trend — it is rooted in profound underlying reasons. Gen Z values individuality and authenticity (真实性). Vintage clothing provides a unique style, often standing out from the sea of mass-produced, same items found in today’s market. The wearers of vintage pieces can feel part of a select group, owning something truly one-of-a-kind. Besides, Many Gen Z individuals view vintage shopping as a cultural experience rather than just a purchase. The thrill of discovering hidden treasures in second-hand markets adds to the appeal, making it about the journey rather than the destination. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have also played a significant role in popularizing vintage styles among Gen Z. Seeing influencers and peers embrace vintage looks normalizes and celebrates vintage fashion, making it cooler and more accessible. The rise of vintage culture isn’t just about clothes; it’s a broader cultural phenomenon. Gen Z is drawn to the stories behind vintage items, the craftsmanship, and the connection to history. This shift reflects a larger societal change where consumers are increasingly seeking meaningful, lasting purchases rather than quick fixes. 28．What might a vintage lifestyle highlight? A．Emphasis on traditional goods. B．Pursuit of modern fast-paced life. C．Preference for quality over quantity. D．Admiration for the complexity of the past. 29．What might the author suggest readers do to embrace a vintage lifestyle? A．Eat fast food daily for convenience. B．Decorate houses with furniture in style. C．Wear vintage clothes in occasional activities. D．Hunt for vintage pieces at second-hand markets. 30．Why do Gen Z individuals love the vintage lifestyle according to paragraph 3? A．It makes them feel like no other. B．It draws them to influencer culture. C．It attracts them to purchase and shop. D．It helps them follow fashion trends. 31．What do the underlined words “quick fixes” possibly refer to in the last paragraph? A．Meaningless trendy clothes. B．Short-lived daily goods. C．Lasting handmade products. D．Valuable collectible items. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．A 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述复古生活方式的内涵是秉持过往的美好、倡导慢生活且珍视手工制品，还给出了开启该生活方式的小建议，分析了Z世代喜爱这一生活方式的深层原因及社交平台的推动作用，最后指出复古文化的兴起是广泛的文化现象，其背后折射出消费者追求有意义、长久消费选择的社会变化。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It embraces slow living, prioritizing quality over quantity—spend more time on meaningful activities and less on rushing through daily tasks.(它倡导慢生活，秉持重质不重量的原则——多花时间投入有意义的事，少在琐碎日常里步履匆匆。)”可知，复古生活方式倡导慢生活，核心秉持重质不重量的原则。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Embrace the vintage lifestyle by starting small and adding a few vintage elements into your daily routine. Create a space that reflects your personal style, explore local second-hand markets or antique stores, and experiment with traditional recipes.(开启复古生活，不妨从小处着手，在日常中融入些许复古元素。打造一处彰显个人风格的专属空间，逛一逛当地的二手市场或古董店，试着做一做传统风味的菜肴。)”可知，作者建议人们从日常融入复古元素，其中明确提出可以逛当地的二手市场或古董店。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Gen Z values individuality and authenticity (真实性). Vintage clothing provides a unique style, often standing out from the sea of mass-produced, same items found in today’s market. The wearers of vintage pieces can feel part of a select group, owning something truly one-of-a-kind.(Z世代崇尚个性与真实，复古服饰能打造出独一无二的穿搭风格，往往能在当下市场批量生产的千篇一律的服饰中脱颖而出。身着复古服饰的人，会觉得自己身处一个小众的圈层，拥有真正独一无二的东西。)”可知，Z世代崇尚个性与真实，复古服饰能打造独一无二的穿搭风格，让穿着者拥有真正独一无二者，身处小众圈层，获得与众不同的专属感受。故选A。 31．词义猜测题。根据文章划线词组所在语境“This shift reflects a larger societal change where consumers are increasingly seeking meaningful, lasting purchases rather than quick fixes.(这一转变，折射出更深刻的社会变化：如今的消费者，正愈发追求有意义、能长久相伴的消费选择，而非quick fixes)”可知，句中“rather than”表转折对比，“quick fixes”与前文的“meaningful, lasting purchases(有意义、能长久使用的消费品)”形成鲜明反义对应，指缺乏长久价值、昙花一现的物品。故选B。 D Icebergs larger than aircraft carriers crowd the area where Thwaites Glacier meets the ocean. Thwaites, the widest glacier in the world, is melting at a rising rate, contributing to rising sea levels. If it collapse, it could cause global sea-level rise. Some scientists are investigating whether glacial engineering might slow or prevent this, but the idea has sparked heated debate. Can it be done? Should it be done? And who would fund such massive projects? Thwaites Glacier, holding 480,000 cubic kilometers of ice, is losing ice six times faster than it did in the 1990s, currently melting 80 cubic kilometers annually. This ice loss continues to speed up as the world warms, increasing the risk of disastrous sea-level rise. Some scientists, like Slawek Tulaczyk, are exploring glacial engineering to delay this outcome. Though he acknowledges it might not work, Tulaczyk believes research should explore the possibility. One approach is to remove subglacial water, which acts as a conductor for heat, to freeze glaciers to their beds, slowing their movement. For Thwaites, removing just 1 to 3% of the water beneath could significantly slow its flow. Another idea is using thermosiphons (热虹吸管), devices that remove heat from the glacier bed, freezing the water and slowing the glacier’s motion. Another proposal is to block warm ocean currents speeding up ice loss. Researchers suggest building a seafloor barrier or flexible sea curtains to prevent warm currents from reaching glaciers like Thwaites. However, they could disturb marine ecosystems, affecting species like penguins and whales. While these engineering ideas are intriguing (迷人的), many scientists remain doubtful. They argue that glacial engineering could have unintended environmental consequences and that the best solution is still to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the remote location of Thwaites and the tough conditions make large-scale projects difficult to carry out. Despite the challenges, Tulaczyk and his colleagues are pushing forward with their research, believing that extreme solutions may be necessary in the face of climate change’s growing threat. However, the debate continues: Can such projects save glaciers, and at what cost? 32．Which of the following best describes the threat of Thwaites Glacier in Para.1? A．Its massive size creates shipping problems. B．Its remote location makes it inaccessible. C．Its collapse could raise global sea levels. D．Its melting is disturbing local ecosystems. 33．What does Slawek Tulaczyk think about glacial engineering? A．It is the only solution. B．It should be worked on. C．It is impossible to work. D．It will definitely succeed. 34．What do we know about the proposed approaches? A．They block heat in different ways. B．They prevent major ocean currents. C．They prioritize marine life protection. D．They have no impact on the environment. 35．What might make some scientists hold doubt about glacial engineering? A．Increased gas emissions. B．Lack of scientific support. C．Limited money and time. D．Challenging environment. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了思韦茨冰川融化威胁海平面上升，科学家提出冰川工程设想，但存在争议 。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段“If it collapse, it could cause global sea-level rise. (如果它崩塌，可能会导致全球海平面上升)”可知，思韦茨冰川的威胁在于其崩塌可能导致全球海平面上升。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“Though he acknowledges it might not work, Tulaczyk believes research should explore the possibility. (尽管他承认这可能不起作用，但图拉奇克认为研究应该探索这种可能性)”可知，Slawek Tulaczyk认为应该开展冰川工程研究。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段“One approach is to remove subglacial water, which acts as a conductor for heat, to freeze glaciers to their beds, slowing their movement.(一种方法是移除充当热量导体的冰下水，将冰川冻结到其床上，减缓其运动)”以及“Another idea is using thermosiphons (热虹吸管), devices that remove heat from the glacier bed, freezing the water and slowing the glacier’s motion. (另一个想法是使用热虹吸管，这是一种从冰川床中移除热量、冻结水并减缓冰川运动的装置)”以及第四段“Another proposal is to block warm ocean currents speeding up ice loss.(另一个建议是阻止温暖的洋流加速冰的损失)”可知，这些提议的方法以不同方式阻挡热量。故选A。 35．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Furthermore, the remote location of Thwaites and the tough conditions make large-scale projects difficult to carry out. (此外，思韦茨冰川位置偏远，条件恶劣，使得大规模项目难以开展)”可知，具有挑战性的环境使一些科学家对冰川工程持怀疑态度。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。 The Healing Power of Music Enhanced by AI Music has long been recognized across cultures for its profound ability to heal and comfort the human spirit. 36 With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), this power is becoming more powerful and easier to use than ever before. Personalized Music Selection AI can analyze large amounts of data to understand how different music affects our emotions and bodies. By monitoring a listener’s heart rate or brainwaves, AI gets real-time information about their state. 37 This makes the healing process more personal and effective. It can even recognize subtle emotional shifts that humans might overlook. 38 Besides choosing existing music, AI can also create new pieces for specific therapeutic needs. Doctors can input requirements like tempo and mood, and AI will compose unique music. These AI-generated compositions are tailored to induce relaxation or focus as needed. This works particularly well for reducing anxiety and helping people with sleep problems. Wider Accessibility Another advantage is that AI makes music therapy available to more people. Through smartphone apps, anyone can access AI-powered music healing. 39 This breaks down traditional barriers to treatment. Such apps often include guided sessions and progress tracking for continuous support. The Human Touch Remains Essential However, AI is not meant to replace human therapists. The connection between a patient and therapist is still vital. 40 The future lies in combining AI’s power with human compassion for better healing. Together, they offer a more adaptable and holistic approach to wellness. A．Creating Original Music for Treatment B．Selecting Existing Music for Innovation C．Both professionals and teenagers can integrate it into their daily routines.

G．It then adapts the playlist dynamically to align with the listener’s emotional state. 【答案】36．D 37．G 38．A 39．C 40．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章聚焦音乐的疗愈作用，人工智能(AI)的发展进一步强化并普及了这一功效。 36．根据前文“Music has long been recognized across cultures for its profound ability to heal and comfort the human spirit. (长期以来，音乐在不同文化中都被认为具有治愈和抚慰人类心灵的强大能力。)”，后文应延续对音乐传统治愈作用的阐述。D选项“Historically, music served as a shared tool for healing and social bonding. (从历史上看，音乐是治愈和促进社会联系的公共工具。)”中“Historically”与前文“has long been”相呼应，且进一步说明音乐的传统作用，衔接自然，故选D。 37．前文提到“By monitoring a listener’s heart rate or brainwaves, AI gets real-time information about their state. (通过监测听众的心率或脑电波，人工智能获取他们状态的实时信息。)”，后文应说明AI获取信息后的行动。G选项“It then adapts the playlist dynamically to align with the listener’s emotional state. (然后它会动态调整播放列表，以匹配听众的情绪状态。)”中“then”承接前文的“获取信息”，“adapts the playlist”是 AI 基于信息采取的具体措施，符合逻辑，故选G。 38．该空为段落标题，需概括段落内容。段落主要讲“Besides choosing existing music, AI can also create new pieces for specific therapeutic needs. (除了选择现有的音乐，人工智能还可以为特定的治疗需求创作新的音乐作品。)”核心是AI 创作原创音乐用于治疗。A选项“Creating Original Music for Treatment (为治疗创作原创音乐)”精准概括段落主旨，故选A。 39．前文提到“Through smartphone apps, anyone can access AI-powered music healing. (通过智能手机应用程序，任何人都可以使用人工智能驱动的音乐治疗。)”，后文“This breaks down traditional barriers to treatment. (这打破了传统的治疗障碍。)”，说明AI音乐治疗的普及性。C选项“Both professionals and teenagers can integrate it into their daily routines. (专业人士和青少年都能将其融入日常生活。)”体现了不同人群对其的使用，进一步说明其普及，衔接后文“打破障碍”，故选C。 40．前文“However, AI is not meant to replace human therapists. The connection between a patient and therapist is still vital. (然而，人工智能并非要取代人类治疗师。患者和治疗师之间的联系仍然至关重要。)”，后文“The future lies in combining AI’s power with human compassion for better healing. (未来在于结合人工智能的力量和人类的同情心，以实现更好的治疗效果。)”强调AI是辅助工具，不能替代人类。E选项“AI should be seen as a supportive tool, not a substitute for human empathy. (人工智能应被视为一种辅助工具，而不是人类同理心的替代品。)”符合前后文逻辑，故选E。 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。 Papa had a special relationship with nature.

But later he wasn’t the same father I’d 44 with. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at 52, Papa forgot names and words, and sometimes it 45 that the real Papa was gone forever. But in those moments when he stood 46 the sun on the grass, I knew the old Papa was still there. One day, I went to 47 my daughter up from after-school swim practice. Papa took a 48 with me to the pool. The road at this spot curved (弯曲) between two lakes. On the way, as I rounded a corner, I could hardly 49 my eyes. The setting sun cut an orange swath (光带) across the water, making everything so 50 that I took it all in — the sun, the water and the sky. I was 51 by the scene as if by lightning. The 52 was so unexpected. “Beautiful,” said Papa. That was what Papa saw all the time. I got to see the same 53 that day. Papa is gone now, but I often feel him near, 54 at the spot where I saw through his eyes for the first time.

The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue! Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?” He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.” My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    I secretly started to save up my pocket money. I spent less on my school lunch and I didn’t buy any snacks. I even took on a small part-time job to earn extra cash. On weekends, when I usually went out with my friends having fun, I helped my neighbours look after their kids. I put the money they gave me in my piggy bank. Every day, I would take out the money and count it. Day by day, the amount grew larger and it was enough for a gift. And my brother’s birthday was drawing near.     On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. When he opened the box, his eyes widened in surprise and joy. He took the shoes, examining them carefully, and said, “I didn’t expect this. You’re the best sister ever!” I hugged him tightly, feeling warmth spreading all over. “You’re the best brother of mine. I’m just returning the kindness you’ve given me.” I replied. Our bond has grown stronger ever since.

But in 2021, she stood by the remainder (残骸) of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive. Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline. Now, the 28-year-old is one of more than 200,000 Dallasites using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make their everyday commute (通勤). In order to cut costs, Colorado, a software developer, sold his car. When he owned a car, Colorado said he spent around $450 a month on payments and insurance alone. On top of that, he paid for gas, maintenance, and more — making his car expenses well above twice the amount he pays without one, he said. In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado. But no matter how DART develops, riding public transportation takes some amount of pre-planning based on bus and train schedules, Colorado said. His advice for new riders is: “Don’t give up when things get difficult.” Riding DART is more environmentally conscious, too, Hunter said, and she regularly runs into several of her neighbors while on transit. For Hunter, living without a car gives her peace from the stress of traffic and has helped her mental stability. “At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home.” Hunter said. Colorado said he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new. “You learn to see, appreciate, and soak in the value of taking a little time,” Colorado said. “It’s more about the journey than the destination. I think there’s a philosophy to it that you start to learn.” 24．What made Hunter use public transport earlier than planned? A．A serious car crash. B．Her move to downtown Dallas. C．Her graduation from university. D．The high cost of car maintenance. 25．What can be learned about DART from the text? A．It advocates a low-carbon transportation. B．It’s the primary cause of reduced car ownership. C．It has flexible schedules tailored for its users. D．It has been improved to better serve its users. 26．What do both Hunter and Colorado appreciate about their new lifestyle? A．The chance to make more friends. B．The stability of the public transport system. C．The personal time gained during the commute. D．The positive comments from their neighbors. 27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．When the Car Is Gone, the Journey Begins B．A Crash That Changed Dallas Traffic C．DART’s New Routes Win Riders Back D．Commute Options in Modern Cities C A vintage lifestyle (复古生活方式) is a way of living that embraces the charm, elegance, and simplicity of the past. It emphasizes old-fashioned styles: decorate your home with classic furniture, vintage decorations and timeless art to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that’s far from modern fast-paced life. It embraces slow living, prioritizing quality over quantity — spend more time on meaningful activities and less on rushing through daily tasks. Additionally, it values handmade goods, such as those from knitting, woodworking or other traditional skills, which builds a deeper connection to the creation process. Embrace the vintage lifestyle by starting small and adding a few vintage elements into your daily routine. Create a space that reflects your personal style, explore local second-hand markets or antique stores, and experiment with traditional recipes. Over time, these little steps can transform your life into a richer, more meaningful experience. Gen Z’s fascination with the vintage lifestyle is by no means a blind trend — it is rooted in profound underlying reasons. Gen Z values individuality and authenticity (真实性). Vintage clothing provides a unique style, often standing out from the sea of mass-produced, same items found in today’s market. The wearers of vintage pieces can feel part of a select group, owning something truly one-of-a-kind. Besides, Many Gen Z individuals view vintage shopping as a cultural experience rather than just a purchase. The thrill of discovering hidden treasures in second-hand markets adds to the appeal, making it about the journey rather than the destination. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have also played a significant role in popularizing vintage styles among Gen Z. Seeing influencers and peers embrace vintage looks normalizes and celebrates vintage fashion, making it cooler and more accessible. The rise of vintage culture isn’t just about clothes; it’s a broader cultural phenomenon. Gen Z is drawn to the stories behind vintage items, the craftsmanship, and the connection to history. This shift reflects a larger societal change where consumers are increasingly seeking meaningful, lasting purchases rather than quick fixes. 28．What might a vintage lifestyle highlight? A．Emphasis on traditional goods. B．Pursuit of modern fast-paced life. C．Preference for quality over quantity. D．Admiration for the complexity of the past. 29．What might the author suggest readers do to embrace a vintage lifestyle? A．Eat fast food daily for convenience. B．Decorate houses with furniture in style. C．Wear vintage clothes in occasional activities. D．Hunt for vintage pieces at second-hand markets. 30．Why do Gen Z individuals love the vintage lifestyle according to paragraph 3? A．It makes them feel like no other. B．It draws them to influencer culture. C．It attracts them to purchase and shop. D．It helps them follow fashion trends. 31．What do the underlined words “quick fixes” possibly refer to in the last paragraph? A．Meaningless trendy clothes. B．Short-lived daily goods. C．Lasting handmade products. D．Valuable collectible items. D Icebergs larger than aircraft carriers crowd the area where Thwaites Glacier meets the ocean. Thwaites, the widest glacier in the world, is melting at a rising rate, contributing to rising sea levels. If it collapse, it could cause global sea-level rise. Some scientists are investigating whether glacial engineering might slow or prevent this, but the idea has sparked heated debate. Can it be done? Should it be done? And who would fund such massive projects? Thwaites Glacier, holding 480,000 cubic kilometers of ice, is losing ice six times faster than it did in the 1990s, currently melting 80 cubic kilometers annually. This ice loss continues to speed up as the world warms, increasing the risk of disastrous sea-level rise. Some scientists, like Slawek Tulaczyk, are exploring glacial engineering to delay this outcome. Though he acknowledges it might not work, Tulaczyk believes research should explore the possibility. One approach is to remove subglacial water, which acts as a conductor for heat, to freeze glaciers to their beds, slowing their movement. For Thwaites, removing just 1 to 3% of the water beneath could significantly slow its flow. Another idea is using thermosiphons (热虹吸管), devices that remove heat from the glacier bed, freezing the water and slowing the glacier’s motion. Another proposal is to block warm ocean currents speeding up ice loss. Researchers suggest building a seafloor barrier or flexible sea curtains to prevent warm currents from reaching glaciers like Thwaites. However, they could disturb marine ecosystems, affecting species like penguins and whales. While these engineering ideas are intriguing (迷人的), many scientists remain doubtful. They argue that glacial engineering could have unintended environmental consequences and that the best solution is still to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the remote location of Thwaites and the tough conditions make large-scale projects difficult to carry out. Despite the challenges, Tulaczyk and his colleagues are pushing forward with their research, believing that extreme solutions may be necessary in the face of climate change’s growing threat. However, the debate continues: Can such projects save glaciers, and at what cost? 32．Which of the following best describes the threat of Thwaites Glacier in Para.1? A．Its massive size creates shipping problems. B．Its remote location makes it inaccessible. C．Its collapse could raise global sea levels. D．Its melting is disturbing local ecosystems. 33．What does Slawek Tulaczyk think about glacial engineering? A．It is the only solution. B．It should be worked on. C．It is impossible to work. D．It will definitely succeed. 34．What do we know about the proposed approaches? A．They block heat in different ways. B．They prevent major ocean currents. C．They prioritize marine life protection. D．They have no impact on the environment. 35．What might make some scientists hold doubt about glacial engineering? A．Increased gas emissions. B．Lack of scientific support. C．Limited money and time. D．Challenging environment. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Healing Power of Music Enhanced by AI Music has long been recognized across cultures for its profound ability to heal and comfort the human spirit. 36 With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), this power is becoming more powerful and easier to use than ever before. Personalized Music Selection AI can analyze large amounts of data to understand how different music affects our emotions and bodies. By monitoring a listener’s heart rate or brainwaves, AI gets real-time information about their state. 37 This makes the healing process more personal and effective. It can even recognize subtle emotional shifts that humans might overlook. 38 Besides choosing existing music, AI can also create new pieces for specific therapeutic needs. Doctors can input requirements like tempo and mood, and AI will compose unique music. These AI-generated compositions are tailored to induce relaxation or focus as needed. This works particularly well for reducing anxiety and helping people with sleep problems. Wider Accessibility Another advantage is that AI makes music therapy available to more people. Through smartphone apps, anyone can access AI-powered music healing. 39 This breaks down traditional barriers to treatment. Such apps often include guided sessions and progress tracking for continuous support. The Human Touch Remains Essential However, AI is not meant to replace human therapists. The connection between a patient and therapist is still vital. 40 The future lies in combining AI’s power with human compassion for better healing. Together, they offer a more adaptable and holistic approach to wellness. A．Creating Original Music for Treatment B．Selecting Existing Music for Innovation C．Both professionals and teenagers can integrate it into their daily routines. D．Historically, music served as a shared tool for healing and social bonding. E．AI should be seen as a supportive tool, not a substitute for human empathy. F．AI can also forecast musical trends that might influence future therapy methods. G．It then adapts the playlist dynamically to align with the listener’s emotional state. 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。 Papa had a special relationship with nature. Little things I barely even 41 caught his fancy and filled him with 42 . He’d been that way since I was a kid. “Beautiful,” he’d say about a 43 we’d seen a hundred times before. But later he wasn’t the same father I’d 44 with. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at 52, Papa forgot names and words, and sometimes it 45 that the real Papa was gone forever. But in those moments when he stood 46 the sun on the grass, I knew the old Papa was still there. One day, I went to 47 my daughter up from after-school swim practice. Papa took a 48 with me to the pool. The road at this spot curved (弯曲) between two lakes. On the way, as I rounded a corner, I could hardly 49 my eyes. The setting sun cut an orange swath (光带) across the water, making everything so 50 that I took it all in — the sun, the water and the sky. I was 51 by the scene as if by lightning. The 52 was so unexpected. “Beautiful,” said Papa. That was what Papa saw all the time. I got to see the same 53 that day. Papa is gone now, but I often feel him near, 54 at the spot where I saw through his eyes for the first time. Whenever my car rounds that curve between the two lakes, no matter what else is on my mind, I take a 55 look and say, “Beautiful.” Papa’s joy is mine, too. 41．A．hid B．noticed C．held D．loved 42．A．power B．inspiration C．relief D．joy 43．A．view B．trick C．method D．design 44．A．put up B．come up C．grown up D．looked up 45．A．seemed B．happened C．mattered D．proved 46．A．drawing B．discovering C．recording D．admiring 47．A．bring B．pick C．take D．cheer 48．A．visit B．chance C．turn D．ride 49．A．believe B．treat C．open D．blow 50．A．complex B．challenging C．breathtaking D．similar 51．A．beaten B．shocked C．motivated D．struck 52．A．anger B．feeling C．interest D．excuse 53．A．beauty B．lake C．road D．wisdom 54．A．generally B．consistently C．especially D．naturally 55．A．random B．fresh C．quick D．direct 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 A fresh wave of neo-Chinese architecture, rooted in tradition and mixed with contemporary innovation, is enriching the hearts of many people not just in China, 56 all over the world.

The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue! Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?” He said, “I don’t want to be a burden(负担), so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.” My heart ached for him. I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I secretly started to save up my pocket money. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $学校 班级 姓名 准考证号 密 封 线 IIII 2 以 心 45 [A][B]IC]ID] 44 [AJ[BJ[CI[D] [AJIBJICJID] [AJIBJICJID] [AJ[BJ[CI[D] [AJ[BJ[CJ[D] [AJIBJ[C]ID] [AJ[BJ[CJ[D] [AJ[BI[CI[D] [AJ[BJ[CJID] [AJ[B][C] 4 [A][B]IC] [AJIB]IC] [AJ[BI[CI [AIIBJIC] 的 8 岁 50 [A][B][C][D] 49 [A][B][CI[D] 48 [A][B][CI[D] 30 [A][B][C][D] 29 [AJ[BJ[C][D] 26 [A][B][C][D] 10 [A][B][C] 9 [A][B][C] 8 [AJ[B]IC] 7 IAJ[B][CI 6 [AJ[BJ[C] A Aw NO 8 为 55 [A][B][CI[D] 54 [AJ[B][CI[D] 5 [AJ[BJ[C][D] 51 [A][B][C][D] 35 [A][B][C][D] 34 [A][B][CI[D] 33 [A][B][C][D] 32 [AJ[B][C][D] 31 [A][B][C][D] 15 [A][BJ[C] 13 [A][B][C] 12 [A][B][C] 11 [A][B][C] 港华局（请用2E共专摄装） 6 00 A 充液、限可。 0 黑 20206全为害专询一次终业装所 ■■■■ 9 40 [AJ[BJ[CJ[D][EJ[F][G] 38 [AJ[BI[CJ[D][EJ[FJ[G] 36 [AJ[BJ[CJ[D][EJ[FJ[GI 20 [A][B][C] 19 [A][B][C] 18 [A][B][C] 17 [AJ[B][C] 16 [AJ[B][C] 成华想水分使用2正共装摄特：批挑g障公测用03m ■ 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: Paragraph 2: 烯 请在各题目的答题区域内作瓷，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 英话第2贡（共2贡听力考试正式开始。Which suit do you like best?

Listen to the next question. Nature and technology often seem to work against each other. IT cannot be denied that the rise of modern technology has often come at the cost of the natural world. However, IT sometimes possible for the two sides to exist in harmony. Actually, many of the world's greatest inventions have been inspired by nature. For example, the right brother's american aircraft engineers took inspiration from the flight of birds, while underwater sound wave technology was inspired by the way whales and dolphin's communicate. Meanwhile, robotic engineers often draw inspiration from the animal kingdom to create robots that can deal with chAllenging environments. It's not just animals that have inspired useful inventions. The university of hong k. Developed a tiny, energy efficient machine. IT was inspired by the design of tree seeds. Other plant inspired inventions include Green plastic and life saving medicine. Like many people, I feel it's time for technology to return the favour. Now that is why i'm currently studying to become an environmental engineer. My dream is one day to create an invention that will significantly help deal with climate change. Nature and technology often seem to work against each other.
