The cover of a serious science magazine recently caught everyone’s attention in a special way. It showed how trees communicate through an “internet of trees” made of fungal threads (菌丝) in the soil. But instead of looking like a regular science diagram, the image appeared as a beautiful Chinese silk embroidery (刺绣), with golden threads connecting the roots in an elegant pattern.
This creative idea came from Dr. Elena. When she was still a university student, she often found it hard to explain complex plant relationships to people who weren’t experts. Scientific terms and complicated charts made it difficult for many to understand. One day, she remembered her childhood: her grandmother teaching her embroidery. She recalled how colorful threads wove together on fabric (布料), eventually forming beautiful patterns. It reminded her of the hidden connections between plants.
“That’s it!” she suddenly realized.
Inspired, she picked up her sketchbook and started creating. She drew seed spreading processes as delicate paper art, with seeds floating across the sky like tiny white sculptures. She gave a description of how plants send signals to each other using patterns similar to those found in textiles. At first, this was just her personal way to organize her thoughts, but other scientists saw her work and loved it.
Over five years, her team created more than 800 of these scientific illustrations, with many featured in world-famous science magazines.
“Science doesn’t need to feel cold and emotionless to be correct,” Elena said, pointing to her latest work. This painting shows how plants use sunlight to create energy as a colorful traditional woven artwork. “When we combine cultural heritage with scientific truth, we can build a bridge that helps everyone understand knowledge.”
4. Why did Dr. Elena start creating her scientific illustrations?
A. To prove her scientific discoveries.
B. To explain plant science clearly.
C. To replace traditional diagrams.
D. To show science can be incorrect.
5. What was the direct inspiration for Dr. Elena’s unique way of scientific drawings?
A. A childhood memory of learning embroidery.
B. The complex charts in science textbooks.
C. The advice from her university professors.
D. Her research on traditional Chinese art forms.
6. The reaction of other scientists to Dr. Elena’s work suggests that they _________.
A. were initially skeptical about its value
B. viewed it merely as decorative art
C. considered it an oversimplification
D. valued her creative approach
7. According to the passage, what is the key message Dr. Elena wants to convey?
A. Science and culture should be separate.
B. Digital tools are best for science art.
C. Culture can bridge science and the public.
D. Traditional science diagrams are useless.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C

C
Imagine if you could travel decades ahead and meet the person you will become. You would observe the slight shifts in your body language, the wisdom shown on your face, and the stories your hands would tell. You could witness the impact of your life’s journey reflected in your own eyes.
This concept, once purely philosophical, has been brought to life through a new “Time Travel” filter (滤镜) on social media platforms. Unlike simple novelties, this filter uses advanced AI to recreate not just aging, but life experiences, suggesting how one’s entire behavior and appearance might evolve based on current personality indicators. Psychologists on these platforms have noted its “making people think” accuracy. The widespread reaction, particularly among millennials (千禧一代), reveals a complex mix of curiosity and a deep anxiety about the path their lives are taking, and more importantly, the person they are destined to become.
What makes this filter unique?
The “Time Travel” filter, featured in over 5 million posts, generates a short, moving video. It doesn’t just add wrinkles; it slightly changes the user’s gaze, body language, and even micro-expressions, proposing a future self shaped by years of imagined joys and challenges. The AI analyzes users’ current photos, video diaries, and even stated goals to create a personalized future digital character.
Instagram is not the first to explore such concepts. Earlier apps offered basic “future self” motionless images. However, the dynamic and deeply personalized nature of this new filter has captured the public’s imagination.
Tech influencer Elon Musk reportedly tried the filter and commented, “It’s fascinating, but it makes you question your present choices more than it predicts your future.”
Many users debate the filter’s plausibility, comparing their projected future self to older relatives or mentors they admire. Some have applied the filter to photos of themselves from a decade ago to see how accurate the prediction might have been.
On the contrary, a significant number have found the experience motivating. They report feeling a renewed sense of purpose, with comments like, “I look so at peace, it gives me hope,” becoming common. This filter has sparked not just a trend, but a global conversation about fate, choice, and the person we are all slowly becoming.
8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To explain how the AI filter works.
B. To introduce the topic in an imaginative way.
C. To compare different social media platforms.
D. To demonstrate future predictions are accurate.
9. What does Elon Musk’s comment on the filter imply?
A. Its prediction is technologically accurate.
B. Its main value is for entertainment.
C. It makes people reflect on their current life.
D. It helps people set clear future goals.
10. The underlined word “plausibility” is closest in meaning to _________.
A. believability B. popularity
C. complexity D. unreliability
11. What is the overall tone of the passage towards the “Time Travel” filter?
A. Critical and dismissive.
B. Promotional and enthusiastic.
C. Balanced and thoughtful.
D. Indifferent and unconcerned.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】

Some have applied the filter to photos of themselves from a decade ago to see how accurate the prediction might have been. (许多用户争论这款滤镜的____,将预测出的未来自己与他们敬佩的长辈或导师作对比。一些人将滤镜应用于自己十年前的照片,想看看这种预测可能有多准确。)”可知,用户将预测出的未来形象与他人进行比较,以及拿自己十年前的照片测试准确度的行为,正是在评估这个预测结果是否合理、可信,plausibility与“believability (可信性,可信度)”最接近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The widespread reaction, particularly among millennials (千禧一代), reveals a complex mix of curiosity and a deep anxiety about the path their lives are taking, and more importantly, the person they are destined to become. (这种广泛的反应,尤其是在千禧一代中,揭示了一种复杂的好奇心和对自己人生道路的深刻焦虑,更重要的是,他们注定要成为什么样的人)”、倒数第二段“Many users debate the filter’s plausibility, comparing their projected future self to older relatives or mentors they admire. Some have applied the filter to photos of themselves from a decade ago to see how accurate the prediction might have been. (许多用户争论这款滤镜的可信性,将预测出的未来自己与他们敬佩的长辈或导师作对比。一些人将滤镜应用于自己十年前的照片,想看看这种预测可能有多准确。)”及最后一段“On the contrary, a significant number have found the experience motivating. They report feeling a renewed sense of purpose, with comments like, “I look so at peace, it gives me hope,” becoming common. This filter has sparked not just a trend, but a global conversation about fate, choice, and the person we are all slowly becoming. (相反,相当多的人觉得这种经历很有激励作用。他们报告说,他们感到一种新的使命感,像“我看起来很平静,这给了我希望”这样的评论变得越来越普遍。这款滤镜不仅掀起潮流,还引发了一场关于命运、选择和和自我成长的全球对话)”可知,文章既呈现了滤镜引发的复杂反应,也肯定了其带来的积极讨论,整体语气是平衡且有思考性的。故选C项。
D
A new cross-disciplinary field termed “cosmic (宇宙的) heritage studies” has been proposed by an international team of archaeologists and space physicists. This discipline focuses on identifying, documenting and preserving historical objects from humanity’s ventures into space, treating them as valuable cultural heritage rather than mere space junk.
“The objects we’ve left in space and on other planets and moons tell the story of human technological achievement and exploration spirit,” said Dr. Maria Chen, lead researcher from the European Space Heritage Foundation. “With increasing commercial space activities, these artifacts face never-before-seen risks of damage or destruction if not properly protected.”
The concept builds upon traditional archaeological principles but adapts them to the unique conditions of space environment. Unlike Earth-based archaeology that deals with centuries-old artifacts, cosmic heritage must consider factors like radiation exposure, low-gravity effects, and orbital decay (衰减) that affect preservation.
A central challenge for cosmic heritage researchers involves establishing criteria for what is considered as significant space heritage. “While obviously historically important items like the first satellite Sputnik or Apollo landing sites deserve protection, we also need to consider more recent objects that represent technological milestones,” Dr. Chen explained. The international community currently debates whether to preserve all human-made objects in space or only selected historically significant ones.
The team recommends establishing an international record-keeping system for space artifacts and developing low-impact documentation methods using remote sensing technology. “We’re not suggesting we bring everything back to museums,” Dr. Chen clarified. “In many cases, digital preservation through high-resolution imaging and 3D modeling may be the most practical approach.”
As space becomes increasingly accessible, cosmic heritage studies aim to ensure that future generations can understand and appreciate the material evidence of humanity’s first steps beyond Earth. The researchers hope their work will inform international space policy and promote responsible management of off-Earth cultural resources.
12. Why does Dr. Chen advocate for treating space objects as heritage?
A. For their commercial value. B. For their historical stories.
C. For their rescue urgency. D. For their display potential.
13. How does Dr. Chen view the current protection situation?
A. Urgent due to commercial growth. B. Challenging due to harsh space conditions.
C. Complex due to unclear ownership. D. Manageable with current laws.
14. What is the key challenge mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Agreeing on preservation technology. B. Setting international protection rules.
C. Finding long-term conservation funds. D. Deciding which objects to protect.
15. What is the principle behind Dr. Chen’s recommended preservation method?
A. Bringing items back to Earth. B. Building bases at sites.
C. Using remote, low-impact tech. D. Making strict space laws.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一个新兴的交叉学科——“宇宙遗产研究”。该领域由考古学家和空间物理学家提出,旨在将人类留在太空中的器物视为文化遗产,而非太空垃圾,并进行识别、记录和保护。文章探讨了该学科的目的、其面临的独特挑战、对太空文物构成威胁的因素以及可行的保护方案。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The objects we’ve left in space and on other planets and moons tell the story of human technological achievement and exploration spirit(我们在太空中以及在其他行星和卫星上留下的物体,讲述着人类在技术成就和探索精神方面的历程)”可知,陈博士主张将太空物体视为遗产是因为它们背后的历史故事。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第二段“With increasing commercial space activities, these artifacts face never-before-seen risks of damage or destruction if not properly protected.(随着商业太空活动的日益增多,这些物品若得不到妥善保护,将面临前所未有的受损或毁灭风险)”可知,陈博士认为由于商业增长,当前的保护状况情况紧急。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A central challenge for cosmic heritage researchers involves establishing criteria for what is considered as significant space heritage.(对于宇宙遗产研究者而言,一个核心挑战在于确立什么样的空间遗产被视为具有重要意义的标准)”可知,第4段中提到的关键挑战是决定保护哪些物品。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The team recommends establishing an international record-keeping system for space artifacts and developing low-impact documentation methods using remote sensing technology. “We’re not suggesting we bring everything back to museums,” Dr. Chen clarified. “In many cases, digital preservation through high-resolution imaging and 3D modeling may be the most practical approach.”(该团队建议建立一个国际性的太空文物记录系统,并利用遥感技术开发低影响的记录方法。“我们并不是说要把所有东西都带回博物馆,”陈博士解释道,“在很多情况下,通过高分辨率成像和三维建模进行数字化保存可能是最实际的方法。”)”可知,陈博士推荐的保护方法背后的原理是利用远程、低影响技术。故选C。

【答案】Possible version 1:
Volunteering as an English guide
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m in favor of “Volunteering as an English guide”. It combines language use with real-life communication, helping us apply what we’ve learned flexibly. Interacting with foreigners also boosts confidence and cross-cultural awareness.
For the plan, we can cooperate with local scenic spots. First, we will train us on basic guiding skills and scenic spot introductions. Then, we will arrange 2-hour weekend sessions, dividing students into groups to take turns guiding visitors. This ensures everyone gets practice.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible version 2:
English speech competitions
Dear Mr. Smith,
I prefer “English speech competitions” because they enhance public speaking skills and logical thinking. Preparing speeches also encourages us to accumulate vocabulary and polish expressions.
Regarding the plan, we can set a theme like “My Dream Life”. After 2 weeks of preparation, we will hold a class-level competition. I want to invite you and English teachers as judges, scoring based on content, fluency and pronunciation. After that we can award certificates to winners to increase motivation.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Brenda was a woman who treasured order in her life. Her house was always tidy, and the street in front of her home was a model of cleanliness. Every morning, she would take a walk, admiring the nice flowers and the well-cleaned roads.
One sunny morning, her peaceful world suddenly fell apart. An old camper van (露营车) pulled up right in front of her house. After many long trips, its coating of paint was coming off, making the van look even more worn-out. And one of the tires (轮胎) looked a bit flat. Brenda’s face immediately darkened. She thought it was an ugly mess that ruined the street’s tidiness.
Soon, the owner of the van, Maud, a woman in her sixties, knocked on Brenda’s door. Maud had a warm smile and explained that she planned to stay in the town during the local folk music festival. She also asked if she could use Brenda’s bathroom. “I’m sorry, but that’s not convenient,” Brenda answered coldly, shutting the door before Maud could say more. She just wanted this “ugly woman” to leave as soon as possible.
Over the next few days, Brenda tried everything to make Maud leave. She called the town office, saying the van was blocking traffic (it wasn’t), and even left a note asking her to move. But Maud just waved and smiled each time she saw Brenda, never complaining. At night, Brenda would hear soft music coming from the van — soft guitar strums (弹奏) and a sweet voice singing old folk songs. Slowly, her anger turned into doubt. “Am I being too unfriendly?” she wondered. Maud didn’t seem like a troublemaker and didn’t do anything wrong. She was a traveler and maybe she just wanted to make friends and enjoy the festival.
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。
The next morning, Brenda took a deep breath and walked to the van.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the time the festival ended, they were good friends.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next morning, Brenda took a deep breath and walked to the van. “Maud, I’m sorry for being so unfriendly,” she said sincerely. “Would you like to come inside for some tea?” Maud’s eyes lit up. Inside, they sat by the window, drinking tea and talking about music. Maud shared stories of her travels to music festivals, and Brenda found herself laughing and asking for more. She realized that Maud was a kind and interesting person, not the troublemaker she had thought.
By the time the festival ended, they were good friends. Maud packed her van, but before leaving, she handed Brenda a small guitar pick. “This is for when you’re feeling like you need to remember that music and kindness bring people together,” she said. Brenda stood in her doorway, watching the van drive away and holding the pick tightly. She realized that order was nice, but the unexpected warmth of a new friend was even nicer. Sometimes, the things that break our plans are the ones that bring us the most joy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Brenda对秩序的看重为线索展开,讲述了Brenda因一辆破旧露营车闯入她的完美街区而愤怒,但在与车主——随性开朗的音乐人Maud相处后,她逐渐放下偏见,这段意外友谊让她明白:生活的美好有时会藏在意料之外的混乱中。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上,Brenda深吸了一口气,走向货车。”可知,第一段可描写Brenda向Maud道歉,并邀请她进屋,两人聊天分享故事,Brenda改变了对Maud的看法,觉得她并非麻烦制造者。
②由第二段首句内容“到节日结束时,他们已经是好朋友了。”可知,第二段可描写Maud收拾后准备离开,离别前送给Brenda一个小礼物,Brenda从此经历中意识到秩序之外的意外友谊同样令人喜悦。
2. 续写线索:Brenda走向货车——Brenda道歉并发出邀请——两人愉快地聊天——两人成为朋友——Maud离开并送出礼物——Brenda的感悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①谈论:talk about/discuss/speak about
②意识到:realize/recognize
③紧握:hold/clutch/grasp/seize
④打乱:break/disturb/interrupt
情绪类
①抱歉的:sorry/apologetic
②喜悦:joy/delight/happiness
【点睛】[高分句型1] She realized that order was nice, but the unexpected warmth of a new friend was even nicer. (that引导宾语从句)
[高分句型2] Sometimes, the things that break our plans are the ones that bring us the most joy. (两个that分别引导限制性定语从句)

The cover of a serious science magazine recently caught everyone’s attention in a special way. It showed how trees communicate through an “internet of trees” made of fungal threads (菌丝) in the soil. But instead of looking like a regular science diagram, the image appeared as a beautiful Chinese silk embroidery (刺绣), with golden threads connecting the roots in an elegant pattern.
This creative idea came from Dr. Elena. When she was still a university student, she often found it hard to explain complex plant relationships to people who weren’t experts. Scientific terms and complicated charts made it difficult for many to understand. One day, she remembered her childhood: her grandmother teaching her embroidery. She recalled how colorful threads wove together on fabric (布料), eventually forming beautiful patterns. It reminded her of the hidden connections between plants.
“That’s it!” she suddenly realized.
Inspired, she picked up her sketchbook and started creating. She drew seed spreading processes as delicate paper art, with seeds floating across the sky like tiny white sculptures. She gave a description of how plants send signals to each other using patterns similar to those found in textiles. At first, this was just her personal way to organize her thoughts, but other scientists saw her work and loved it.
Over five years, her team created more than 800 of these scientific illustrations, with many featured in world-famous science magazines.
“Science doesn’t need to feel cold and emotionless to be correct,” Elena said, pointing to her latest work. This painting shows how plants use sunlight to create energy as a colorful traditional woven artwork. “When we combine cultural heritage with scientific truth, we can build a bridge that helps everyone understand knowledge.”
4. Why did Dr. Elena start creating her scientific illustrations?
A. To prove her scientific discoveries.
B. To explain plant science clearly.
C. To replace traditional diagrams.
D. To show science can be incorrect.
5. What was the direct inspiration for Dr. Elena’s unique way of scientific drawings?
A. A childhood memory of learning embroidery.
B. The complex charts in science textbooks.
C. The advice from her university professors.
D. Her research on traditional Chinese art forms.
6. The reaction of other scientists to Dr. Elena’s work suggests that they _________.
A. were initially skeptical about its value
B. viewed it merely as decorative art
C. considered it an oversimplification
D. valued her creative approach
7. According to the passage, what is the key message Dr. Elena wants to convey?
A. Science and culture should be separate.
B. Digital tools are best for science art.
C. Culture can bridge science and the public.
D. Traditional science diagrams are useless.
C
Imagine if you could travel decades ahead and meet the person you will become. You would observe the slight shifts in your body language, the wisdom shown on your face, and the stories your hands would tell. You could witness the impact of your life’s journey reflected in your own eyes.
This concept, once purely philosophical, has been brought to life through a new “Time Travel” filter (滤镜) on social media platforms. Unlike simple novelties, this filter uses advanced AI to recreate not just aging, but life experiences, suggesting how one’s entire behavior and appearance might evolve based on current personality indicators. Psychologists on these platforms have noted its “making people think” accuracy. The widespread reaction, particularly among millennials (千禧一代), reveals a complex mix of curiosity and a deep anxiety about the path their lives are taking, and more importantly, the person they are destined to become.
What makes this filter unique?
The “Time Travel” filter, featured in over 5 million posts, generates a short, moving video. It doesn’t just add wrinkles; it slightly changes the user’s gaze, body language, and even micro-expressions, proposing a future self shaped by years of imagined joys and challenges. The AI analyzes users’ current photos, video diaries, and even stated goals to create a personalized future digital character.
Instagram is not the first to explore such concepts. Earlier apps offered basic “future self” motionless images. However, the dynamic and deeply personalized nature of this new filter has captured the public’s imagination.
Tech influencer Elon Musk reportedly tried the filter and commented, “It’s fascinating, but it makes you question your present choices more than it predicts your future.”
Many users debate the filter’s plausibility, comparing their projected future self to older relatives or mentors they admire. Some have applied the filter to photos of themselves from a decade ago to see how accurate the prediction might have been.
On the contrary, a significant number have found the experience motivating. They report feeling a renewed sense of purpose, with comments like, “I look so at peace, it gives me hope,” becoming common. This filter has sparked not just a trend, but a global conversation about fate, choice, and the person we are all slowly becoming.

A new cross-disciplinary field termed “cosmic (宇宙的) heritage studies” has been proposed by an international team of archaeologists and space physicists. This discipline focuses on identifying, documenting and preserving historical objects from humanity’s ventures into space, treating them as valuable cultural heritage rather than mere space junk.
“The objects we’ve left in space and on other planets and moons tell the story of human technological achievement and exploration spirit,” said Dr. Maria Chen, lead researcher from the European Space Heritage Foundation. “With increasing commercial space activities, these artifacts face never-before-seen risks of damage or destruction if not properly protected.”
The concept builds upon traditional archaeological principles but adapts them to the unique conditions of space environment. Unlike Earth-based archaeology that deals with centuries-old artifacts, cosmic heritage must consider factors like radiation exposure, low-gravity effects, and orbital decay (衰减) that affect preservation.
A central challenge for cosmic heritage researchers involves establishing criteria for what is considered as significant space heritage. “While obviously historically important items like the first satellite Sputnik or Apollo landing sites deserve protection, we also need to consider more recent objects that represent technological milestones,” Dr. Chen explained. The international community currently debates whether to preserve all human-made objects in space or only selected historically significant ones.
The team recommends establishing an international record-keeping system for space artifacts and developing low-impact documentation methods using remote sensing technology. “We’re not suggesting we bring everything back to museums,” Dr. Chen clarified. “In many cases, digital preservation through high-resolution imaging and 3D modeling may be the most practical approach.”
As space becomes increasingly accessible, cosmic heritage studies aim to ensure that future generations can understand and appreciate the material evidence of humanity’s first steps beyond Earth. The researchers hope their work will inform international space policy and promote responsible management of off-Earth cultural resources.
12. Why does Dr. Chen advocate for treating space objects as heritage?
A. For their commercial value. B. For their historical stories.
C. For their rescue urgency. D. For their display potential.
13. How does Dr. Chen view the current protection situation?
A. Urgent due to commercial growth. B. Challenging due to harsh space conditions.
C. Complex due to unclear ownership. D. Manageable with current laws.
14. What is the key challenge mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Agreeing on preservation technology. B. Setting international protection rules.
C. Finding long-term conservation funds. D. Deciding which objects to protect.
15. What is the principle behind Dr. Chen’s recommended preservation method?
A. Bringing items back to Earth. B. Building bases at sites.
C. Using remote, low-impact tech. D. Making strict space laws.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Brenda was a woman who treasured order in her life. Her house was always tidy, and the street in front of her home was a model of cleanliness. Every morning, she would take a walk, admiring the nice flowers and the well-cleaned roads.
One sunny morning, her peaceful world suddenly fell apart. An old camper van (露营车) pulled up right in front of her house. After many long trips, its coating of paint was coming off, making the van look even more worn-out. And one of the tires (轮胎) looked a bit flat. Brenda’s face immediately darkened. She thought it was an ugly mess that ruined the street’s tidiness.
Soon, the owner of the van, Maud, a woman in her sixties, knocked on Brenda’s door. Maud had a warm smile and explained that she planned to stay in the town during the local folk music festival. She also asked if she could use Brenda’s bathroom. “I’m sorry, but that’s not convenient,” Brenda answered coldly, shutting the door before Maud could say more. She just wanted this “ugly woman” to leave as soon as possible.
Over the next few days, Brenda tried everything to make Maud leave. She called the town office, saying the van was blocking traffic (it wasn’t), and even left a note asking her to move. But Maud just waved and smiled each time she saw Brenda, never complaining. At night, Brenda would hear soft music coming from the van — soft guitar strums (弹奏) and a sweet voice singing old folk songs. Slowly, her anger turned into doubt. “Am I being too unfriendly?” she wondered. Maud didn’t seem like a troublemaker and didn’t do anything wrong. She was a traveler and maybe she just wanted to make friends and enjoy the festival.
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。
The next morning, Brenda took a deep breath and walked to the van.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the time the festival ended, they were good friends.
