Or ideal housing for the working classes? Holly Smith tells the stories behind some of the UK’s most revolutionary homes — buildings that have deeply shaped modern Britain, mixing novelty, success and painful debate. Kensal House (1936, west London) Co-designed by Maxwell Fry and Elizabeth Denby, it was intended for working-class families between the two World Wars, when modernist homes for the rich were already popular. It offered bright, spacious flats with private balconies, labour-saving kitchens and public gardens. Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before. Ronan Point (1968, east London) This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today. Trellick Tower (1972, west London) In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully. Cascades (1988, east London) This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success. 21. What can we learn about Ronan Point from the text? A. Its structural faults led to a tragic accident. B. Its construction featured sustainable materials. C. Its design targeted luxury housing for the rich. D. Its failure helped completely address similar faults. 22. What do Kensal House and Trellick Tower have in common? A. They served as ideal examples. B. They provided private gardens. C. They were built with top materials. D. They were under strict management. 23. How does Cascades reflect the evolution of British high-rises? A. Postmodern designs replaced modernist ones. B. Luxury facilities became standard for high-rises. C. They shifted from public housing to private luxury. D. Postmodernism became the mainstream design style. 【答案】21. A 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国四座具有代表性的高层建筑，讲述了它们的建造背景、设计特点、社会影响及争议，展现了高层建筑如何深刻塑造现代英国。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ronan Point部分“This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today. (这座建造质量差的塔楼在开放两个月后就倒塌了：18楼的一个小煤气泄漏摧毁了整侧楼，造成5人死亡，17人受伤。它的混凝土板在没有坚固内部框架的情况下堆叠起来，其接缝甚至用旧水泥袋和皱巴巴的报纸填充。公众的震惊暴露了高层建筑中普遍存在的结构缺陷，尽管如今仍有数百座这样的建筑缺乏适当的加固。)”可知，Ronan Point的结构缺陷导致了悲剧事故。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kensal House部分“Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before. (由居民严格管理，这是一种开创性的模式，后来启发了成千上万的住宅区——与人们以前不得不居住的黑暗、拥挤和贫困地区完全不同)”和Trellick Tower部分“In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully. (与之形成鲜明对比的是，这座高层建筑是匈牙利建筑师ErnöGoldfinger的杰作。它使用了大理石大厅和彩色玻璃等顶级材料，因为设计师认为高层建筑可以“为花园腾出空间”，并为公共住房设定高标准——将房屋从简单的庇护所变成人们可以充分表达生活的空间)”可知，肯萨尔大楼是开创性的典范，特雷利克塔是建筑杰作、为公共住房树立了高标准，二者的共同点是都成为了理想范例。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cascades部分“This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success. (这座华丽的后现代塔楼矗立在泰晤士河畔，融合了远洋客轮的优雅和旧仓库的坚固，同时从当地的海洋历史中汲取灵感。它被称为“雅皮士塔”，是这里第一座私人豪华高层建筑，配有游泳池和健身房。它制造了一个明显的矛盾：社会福利性高层住宅被视为贫穷的象征，而新的豪华高层住宅则代表成功。)”可知，此前英国高层建筑多为面向工薪阶层的社会住房，而卡斯卡德大楼是首个私人豪华高层建筑，反映出英国高层建筑从公共住房向私人豪华住房的转变。故选C项。 B As a psychologist studying body image for nearly 30 years, I have noticed distinct differences in terms for body size across different fields. In medical settings, the terms “obese (肥胖的)” or “person with obesity” are commonly used, while body-image researchers tend to opt for expressions like “higher weight.” This often makes me wonder which term to choose across settings. The core issue is that body size terms are never neutral; they profoundly affect people’s self-respect, internalized weight bias, and clinical communication. Moreover, there is often a gap between the recommendations in professional guidelines and individuals’ actual preferences. Back in the 1990s, “the obesity epidemic (流行病)” dominated the public health context, framing higher weight as a disease needing correction. Later, person-first language such as “a person with obesity” emerged, aiming to spotlight the individual rather than a single characteristic. This approach follows the pattern used in other medical fields — as with “a person with cancer,” rather than “a cancer patient.” However, this shift still considers larger body size as “being ill” and has proven ineffective. In recent years, researchers have finally asked: what terms do people in larger bodies prefer? The answer depends. Studies indicate that medical terms like “obese” are least favored, while more neutral descriptions such as “in a larger body,” “unhealthy weight,” and “overweight” find greater acceptance among certain populations. Importantly, context matters. Within fat acceptance communities, “fat” can function as a neutral description, a meaning that does not transfer to medical or mainstream contexts. In fact, in some medical settings, “fat” refers strictly to fat tissue and isn’t an adjective at all. Some may dismiss all these as unnecessary complaints about language, yet evidence shows that disrespectful terms can prevent individuals from seeking medical care and reduce trust in healthcare providers. Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts. For healthcare workers, balancing guidelines with personal experiences matters, as there is no universal “correct” term. 24. What is the problem with person-first language about body size? A. It fails to reflect people’s real needs. B. It is rejected by medical professionals. C. It regards larger build as a disease. D. It is too formal for daily communication. 25. What can be inferred about the term “fat”? A. It is widely used by researchers instead of “obese”. B. Its use may boost trust between patients and doctors. C. It is considered the most polite term in medical settings. D. Its social meaning has changed in some groups of people. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of body size terms? A. Supportive of fixed medical terms. B. In favor of context-fit expressions. C. Objective with no personal opinions. D. Critical of neutral body-image terms. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Body Image: A Focus of Long-Term Research B. Medical Terms: A History of Obesity Labeling C. Weight Bias: A Reduction in Healthcare Settings D. Word Choice: Respectful Body Size Description 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了体型相关词汇的选择并非中立，应采用灵活、尊重个体且适应具体情境的表述方式。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Later, person-first language such as “a person with obesity” emerged, aiming to spotlight the individual rather than a single characteristic. This approach follows the pattern used in other medical fields — as with “a person with cancer,” rather than “a cancer patient.” However, this shift still considers larger body size as “being ill” and has proven ineffective.(后来，以患者为先的表述（如“一个肥胖的人”）开始出现，旨在突出个体而非单一特征。这种做法沿用了其他医学领域的模式 —— 比如使用“一位患癌症的人”，而不是“一个癌症患者”。然而，这种转变仍然将较大体型视为“生病”，并且已被证明效果不佳)”可知，以个人为先的语言将较大的体型看作一种疾病。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Within fat acceptance communities, “fat” can function as a neutral description, a meaning that does not transfer to medical or mainstream contexts. In fact, in some medical settings, “fat” refers strictly to fat tissue and isn’t an adjective at all.(在接纳肥胖的群体内部，“胖”可以作为中性描述，但这个含义并不适用于医疗或主流环境。事实上，在某些医疗场景中，“脂肪”仅指脂肪组织，根本不是形容词)”可推知，“fat”这个词的社会意义在一些群体中发生了变化。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts.(因此，采用灵活而非僵化的方法是关键。这包括优先考虑个人偏好的术语，避免道德评判语言，并适应特定语境)”可知，作者支持使用适合语境的表达。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“In medical settings, the terms “obese (肥胖的)” or “person with obesity” are commonly used, while body-image researchers tend to opt for expressions like “higher weight.” This often makes me wonder which term to choose across settings.(在医疗环境中，“肥胖”或“肥胖者”这样的术语经常被使用，而身体形象研究人员倾向于选择“体重较高”这样的表达。这常常让我想知道在不同的环境中该选择哪个术语)”以及最后一段中“Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts.(因此，采用灵活而非僵化的方法是关键。这包括优先考虑个人偏好的术语，避免道德评判语言，并适应特定语境)”可知，文章主要说明了体型相关词汇的选择并非中立，它们会深刻影响人们的自尊、内化的体重偏见和临床交流，文章讨论了不同术语的使用及其影响，并强调了采用灵活、尊重个体且适应具体情境的表述方式的重要性。故D选项“词汇选择：尊重体型的描述”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C The dawn chorus of birdsong has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more intensely than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less intense. “The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a rebound of intense singing when lights come on. The researchers then administered the drug luzindole, which blocks the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素), a hormone that helps regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs revealed rapid structural shifts in the first hour after dawn compared to the second. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song structure may slightly suffer, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore or improve them,” says Kojima. While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” 28. What does Kojima’s experiment in Paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Finches’ chorus strength relates to time staying in the dark. B. Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes. C. Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus. D. Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer. 29. What does the underlined word “subdues” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Transforms. B. Restricts. C. Motivates. D. Ignores. 30. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole? A. Luzindole improves birds’ vocal motor system. B. Melatonin showed no effect on the control group. C. Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing. D. Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation. 31. What do Diego Gil’s words imply? A. More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption. B. The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species. C. All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable. D. Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过对斑胸草雀的一系列实验，揭示了鸟类黎明合唱的原因——黑暗抑制唱歌的同时积累唱歌动机，天亮后动机反弹引发合唱；同时通过药物实验验证了褪黑激素的作用，最后指出该发现可能不适用于所有鸟类。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more intensely than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less intense. (当研究小组将突然暴露在强光下的时间推迟到实际黎明后三小时，那些已经醒来的雀鸟在黑暗中保持沉默；一旦灯光打开，它们唱歌的强度比平时更大。然而，当灯光比真正的黎明早三小时亮起时，合唱的强度就减弱了)”可知，斑胸草雀在黑暗中停留的时间越长，天亮后的合唱强度越大，即合唱强度与在黑暗中停留的时间相关。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“He notes that darkness subdues their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a rebound of intense singing when lights come on. (他指出，黑暗subdues它们唱歌的自然冲动，这反过来又增强了它们唱歌的动力，导致灯光亮起时强烈唱歌的反弹)”可知，黑暗抑制了雀鸟唱歌的自然冲动，subdues意为“抑制”，与Restricts意思相近。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers then administered the drug luzindole, which blocks the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素), a hormone that helps regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. (然后，研究人员给斑胸草雀注射了鲁辛多尔药物，这种药物可以阻断褪黑激素的作用，褪黑激素是一种有助于调节许多动物清醒周期的激素。在正常开灯时间前5小时接受这种药物治疗的鸟比对照组的鸟醒得更快，开始唱歌的时间也更早)”可知，luzindole阻断褪黑激素后，鸟儿醒得更快、唱歌更早，反向推导可得出褪黑激素可能阻止鸟儿觉醒和唱歌。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.”(虽然这项研究只考察了一个物种，但类似的驱动因素可能也适用于其他鸟类，他说。但西班牙马德里国家自然科学博物馆的Diego Gil提醒要谨慎。他说，不同物种之间存在“广泛的差异：鸟类在晨鸣中如何、何时以及唱什么”。“这就解释了为什么提出了11种不同的假设来理解这一现象。”)”可知，Diego Gil提醒要谨慎，因为不同鸟类在黎明合唱的方式、时间和内容上存在巨大差异，由此可推知斑胸草雀的研究发现可能不适用于所有鸟类。故选B项。 D The anchoring effect, a common mental tendency rooted in the study of how people make economic choices, refers to how people overly depend on the first piece of information, which is called the “anchor (锚)”, when making later judgments. This simple thinking strategy affects pricing negotiations, risk assessments, and even moral evaluations. For instance, jurors (陪审员) asked to consider a 30-year prison sentence before discussion often settle closer to this figure, while those given a 10-year reference tend to suggest much shorter punishments. The Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman threw light on this tendency via his “wheel of fortune” experiment. In the experiment, participants spun a wheel that was secretly set to stop at either 10 or 65. After spinning, they were asked to estimate the percentage of African nations in the UN. Interestingly, those who saw the wheel stop at 10 guessed around 25%, while those seeing 65 guessed about 45%. Even when people know the anchor is random, this unreasonable reliance still persists. The anchoring effect works in two main ways: the process of adjusting one’s thoughts step by step and the influence of early information on later thinking. When people try to guess a number, they often start with the anchor and then change their answer only a little — never enough to get away from the anchor’s influence. This fact becomes apparent in the field of marketing: labels marked with first prices serve as high anchors, which cause consumers to perceive the value of discounts as higher than their actual worth. Neurological (神经学上的) studies find that anchoring stimulates the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) and the amygdala (杏仁核). This double activation explains why anchors influence both reasonable and emotional decisions. Yet the tendency has moral issues: lawyers demanding harsher initial sentences often secure longer sentences, while real estate agents controlling listing prices can artificially push up market values. To reduce it, people can set clear evaluation criteria and think carefully without focusing on original anchors, helping them make fairer, more reasonable choices. 32. Which of the following situations best illustrates the anchoring effect? A. A viewer likes a movie star and then enjoys all movies the star acts in. B. A buyer offers £600 for a handbag after the seller first says it costs £800. C. A student picks a book because its cover looks more attractive than others. D. A shopper buys a cheap scarf because it’s placed next to a luxury coat in the store. 33. Why do marketers usually display “original price” tags next to product prices? A. To prove that the original price was fixed in a reasonable way. B. To attract more customers by showing the product’s popularity. C. To show that the product’s quality matches its original high price perfectly well. D. To make consumers believe the discounts are more helpful than they really are. 34. Why does the author mention the prefrontal cortex and amygdala? A. To prove that the anchoring effect is an in-born mental tendency. B. To show that the anchoring effect can be controlled by adjusting brain activity. C. To explain that the anchoring effect shapes both sensible and emotional resolutions. D. To highlight the importance of neurological research in understanding mental phenomena. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe a specific experiment. B. To analyze a harmful influence. C. To discuss a moral phenomenon. D. To explain a mental tendency. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了锚定效应的定义，通过实验验证其存在，分析其作用原理、神经学机制及道德影响，最后给出减少锚定效应的方法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The anchoring effect, a common mental tendency rooted in the study of how people make economic choices, refers to how people overly depend on the first piece of information, which is called the “anchor (锚)”, when making later judgments. (锚定效应是一种常见的心理倾向，源于人们对如何做出经济选择的研究，指的是人们在做出后续判断时，过度依赖第一信息，即所谓的“锚”)”以及第三段“When people try to guess a number, they often start with the anchor and then change their answer only a little — never enough to get away from the anchor’s influence. (当人们试图猜测一个数字时，他们通常会从锚点开始，然后只稍微改变一下答案——永远不足以摆脱锚点的影响)”可知，锚定效应是指人们在做出后续判断时，过度依赖第一信息。B选项“A buyer offers £600 for a handbag after the seller first says it costs £800. (卖家先说一个手提包要800英镑后，买家出价600英镑)”中，卖家先说的800英镑就是“锚”，买家在此基础上出价600英镑，符合锚定效应。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This fact becomes apparent in the field of marketing: labels marked with first prices serve as high anchors, which cause consumers to perceive the value of discounts as higher than their actual worth. (这一事实在营销领域变得显而易见：标有最初价格的标签作为高锚点，使消费者认为折扣的价值高于其实际价值)”可知，营销人员标注原价是为了让原价成为高锚点，使消费者认为折扣的价值比实际更高。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Neurological (神经学上的) studies find that anchoring stimulates the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) and the amygdala (杏仁核). This double activation explains why anchors influence both reasonable and emotional decisions. (神经学研究发现，锚定会刺激前额叶皮层和杏仁核。这种双重激活解释了为什么锚点会影响理性和情感决策)”可知，作者提及前额叶皮层和杏仁核，是为了解释这种双重激活机制为何会让锚定效应同时影响理性和感性决策。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The anchoring effect, a common mental tendency rooted in the study of how people make economic choices, refers to how people overly depend on the first piece of information, which is called the “anchor (锚)”, when making later judgments. (锚定效应是一种常见的心理倾向，源于人们对如何做出经济选择的研究，指的是人们在做出后续判断时，过度依赖第一信息，即所谓的“锚”)”以及全文内容可知，本文围绕锚定效应展开，依次介绍了其定义、实验验证、作用原理、神经学机制、道德影响及解决方法，核心是解释这一常见的心理倾向。故选D项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we turn 40, we often worry about how to keep our minds sharp — due to aging, heavy workloads, or the challenge of adapting to new technology, such as not learning as fast as before or trying new ways of doing things. This gap between past and present can be upsetting. ____36____ Recovery becomes a key limiting factor on mental performance as we age. Unlike younger people, older adults frequently face recovery bottlenecks. Many ways to stay sharp focus on improving recovery. In sports, people say, “You can only train as hard as you can recover.” ____37____ Young people are limited by motivation or energy, but for older adults, recovery is the issue, like lacking focus when working longer. Prioritize basic recovery methods: quality sleep, balanced nutrition and regular low-intensity exercise to boost energy and ease mental tiredness. ____38____ After leaving school, most of us no longer take formal exams, but setting learning objectives that require evaluation can keep our learning ability sharp. This not only boosts confidence but also pushes us to use new learning tools. It also helps us address issues like discomfort with challenging tasks or difficulty processing large amounts of information at once. A good benchmark is to stay capable of learning undergraduate-level courses on any subject. Maintaining a willingness to try new things promotes mental growth. Research shows that balancing familiar routines with new experiences yields the best results. ____39____ Balance new attempts with familiar things — like visiting your go-to restaurant three Fridays a month and a new one once. These strategies are effective to maintain mental sharpness. ____40____ They also share a common requirement: self-knowledge gained through observation and reflection. By understanding such aspects, such as nutritional gaps or exercise limits, you can thrive mentally regardless of age or life stage. A. This equally applies to mental performance. B. This balance helps us grow with a sense of duty. C. But we can get that sharpness back with three strategies. D. They all essentially require understanding your personal needs. E. Pursuing learning goals with proper assessment is also necessary. F. Formal exams after school are key to maintaining our learning ability. G. Engaging in new things does not mean abandoning proven effective methods. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. E 39. G 40.

He’d bought it decades ago in Paris, and often told her it captured their summers: chasing fireflies, eating strawberry shortcake by the lake, her first bike ride. But since grandpa’s weak heart diagnosis last year, things changed. He couldn’t walk far or talk long, and the camera — once a constant — was put in a dusty attic (阁楼) box, forgotten like an unfinished story. Last Saturday, mom had her clean the attic. Moving a pile of sweaters, her fingers brushed cold metal — the camera case. Dusting it off, the pine scent hit her, stinging her eyes. Opening it with a click, she saw the camera (lens still shiny, as if polished yesterday) and a small unopened film roll. Taped to it: grandpa’s messy handwriting, “For Lily — our 7th summer, the one with the rainbow.” Lily’s heart jumped — she remembered that summer well: they’d gotten caught in the rain picking blueberries, then a rainbow curved over the field. She’d begged for photos, but he laughed, “Save it for later, kiddo.” Now “later” came. Glancing back, under the camera, she found a faded brown developing kit, labeled: “Emergency film developing.” Suddenly she recalled how he’d taught her to develop film in the bathroom sink as a kid — now, she knew what she should do. 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。 Paragraph1: After developing the film roll, Lily rushed to her room and found an old photo printer. __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Lily held the photos and the camera tightly and ran to the hospital. ___________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: After developing the film roll, Lily rushed to her room and found an old photo printer. Her palms were sweaty, as she was afraid of messing up the precious memories hidden in the film. She carefully loaded the film roll into the machine — fingers still trembling — and clicked “print.” When the first photo slid out, she held her breath: 7-year-old her, soaked but grinning with a blueberry bucket, Grandpa’s hand holding an umbrella over her, the rainbow bright above. Her lips quivered slightly, and warm tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously. More photos followed, each stirring soft memories. She brushed a tear off the photo, heart warm with longing to show Grandpa. Paragraph 2: The next morning, Lily held the photos and the camera tightly and ran to the hospital. Her heart raced with both excitement and nervousness, wondering if Grandpa could still recognize those precious moments. Handing them to Grandpa, his tired eyes widened, and then softened. His fingers traced the rainbow gently, as if touching a fragile treasure, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “You were so small then,” he whispered. Lily placed the camera in his palm, and he seized it gently, adjusting the lens like old times. “Let’s take one together tomorrow,” he said. Lily leaned in, smiling through tears — this camera didn’t just bring back the past, but pulled them closer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Lily一直喜爱爷爷的旧相机，它记录着他们的夏日时光。但爷爷生病后，相机被遗忘在阁楼。上周六Lily打扫阁楼时发现了相机、未开封的胶卷及显影套装，她决定按爷爷曾教的方法冲洗照片。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“冲洗完胶卷后，Lily冲回房间，找出一台旧照片打印机。”可知，第一段可以描写Lily冲洗胶卷后，急切又紧张地用旧照片打印机打印照片的动作和心理，打印出照片后看到童年回忆的动容场景，以及想把照片带给爷爷看的迫切心愿。 ②由第二段句首内容“第二天早上，Lily紧紧攥着照片和相机，跑向医院。”可知，第二段可以描写Lily带着照片和相机赶往医院的心情，把照片递给爷爷后，爷爷的神态、动作和语言，两人回忆过往并约定一起拍照，最后升华主旨：相机和照片不仅唤醒回忆，更拉近了祖孙间的距离。 2.续写线索：冲洗胶卷后打印照片 —— 紧张操作打印机 —— 看到照片回忆童年动容 —— 带着照片相机赶往医院 —— 爷爷看到照片的反应 —— 约定拍照、拉近祖孙距离 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①点击打印：click “print” /press the print button/tap print ②擦去泪水：brush a tear off/wipe away tears from ③递给某人某物：hand sth. to sb./give sth. to sb./pass sth. to sb. 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②紧张：nervousness/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her heart raced with both excitement and nervousness, wondering if Grandpa could still recognize those precious moments.

Or ideal housing for the working classes? Holly Smith tells the stories behind some of the UK’s most revolutionary homes — buildings that have deeply shaped modern Britain, mixing novelty, success and painful debate. Kensal House (1936, west London) Co-designed by Maxwell Fry and Elizabeth Denby, it was intended for working-class families between the two World Wars, when modernist homes for the rich were already popular. It offered bright, spacious flats with private balconies, labour-saving kitchens and public gardens. Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before. Ronan Point (1968, east London) This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today. Trellick Tower (1972, west London) In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully. Cascades (1988, east London) This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success. 21. What can we learn about Ronan Point from the text? A. Its structural faults led to a tragic accident. B. Its construction featured sustainable materials. C. Its design targeted luxury housing for the rich. D. Its failure helped completely address similar faults. 22. What do Kensal House and Trellick Tower have in common? A. They served as ideal examples. B. They provided private gardens. C. They were built with top materials. D. They were under strict management. 23. How does Cascades reflect the evolution of British high-rises? A. Postmodern designs replaced modernist ones. B. Luxury facilities became standard for high-rises. C. They shifted from public housing to private luxury. D. Postmodernism became the mainstream design style. B As a psychologist studying body image for nearly 30 years, I have noticed distinct differences in terms for body size across different fields. In medical settings, the terms “obese (肥胖的)” or “person with obesity” are commonly used, while body-image researchers tend to opt for expressions like “higher weight.” This often makes me wonder which term to choose across settings. The core issue is that body size terms are never neutral; they profoundly affect people’s self-respect, internalized weight bias, and clinical communication. Moreover, there is often a gap between the recommendations in professional guidelines and individuals’ actual preferences. Back in the 1990s, “the obesity epidemic (流行病)” dominated the public health context, framing higher weight as a disease needing correction. Later, person-first language such as “a person with obesity” emerged, aiming to spotlight the individual rather than a single characteristic. This approach follows the pattern used in other medical fields — as with “a person with cancer,” rather than “a cancer patient.” However, this shift still considers larger body size as “being ill” and has proven ineffective. In recent years, researchers have finally asked: what terms do people in larger bodies prefer? The answer depends. Studies indicate that medical terms like “obese” are least favored, while more neutral descriptions such as “in a larger body,” “unhealthy weight,” and “overweight” find greater acceptance among certain populations. Importantly, context matters. Within fat acceptance communities, “fat” can function as a neutral description, a meaning that does not transfer to medical or mainstream contexts. In fact, in some medical settings, “fat” refers strictly to fat tissue and isn’t an adjective at all. Some may dismiss all these as unnecessary complaints about language, yet evidence shows that disrespectful terms can prevent individuals from seeking medical care and reduce trust in healthcare providers. Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts. For healthcare workers, balancing guidelines with personal experiences matters, as there is no universal “correct” term. 24. What is the problem with person-first language about body size? A. It fails to reflect people’s real needs. B. It is rejected by medical professionals. C. It regards larger build as a disease. D. It is too formal for daily communication. 25. What can be inferred about the term “fat”? A. It is widely used by researchers instead of “obese”. B. Its use may boost trust between patients and doctors. C. It is considered the most polite term in medical settings. D. Its social meaning has changed in some groups of people. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of body size terms? A. Supportive of fixed medical terms. B. In favor of context-fit expressions. C. Objective with no personal opinions. D. Critical of neutral body-image terms. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Body Image: A Focus of Long-Term Research B. Medical Terms: A History of Obesity Labeling C. Weight Bias: A Reduction in Healthcare Settings D. Word Choice: Respectful Body Size Description C The dawn chorus of birdsong has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more intensely than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less intense. “The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a rebound of intense singing when lights come on. The researchers then administered the drug luzindole, which blocks the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素), a hormone that helps regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs revealed rapid structural shifts in the first hour after dawn compared to the second. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song structure may slightly suffer, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore or improve them,” says Kojima. While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” 28. What does Kojima’s experiment in Paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Finches’ chorus strength relates to time staying in the dark. B. Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes. C. Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus. D. Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer. 29. What does the underlined word “subdues” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Transforms. B. Restricts. C. Motivates. D. Ignores. 30. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole? A. Luzindole improves birds’ vocal motor system. B. Melatonin showed no effect on the control group. C. Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing. D. Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation. 31. What do Diego Gil’s words imply? A. More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption. B. The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species. C. All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable. D. Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns. D The anchoring effect, a common mental tendency rooted in the study of how people make economic choices, refers to how people overly depend on the first piece of information, which is called the “anchor (锚)”, when making later judgments. This simple thinking strategy affects pricing negotiations, risk assessments, and even moral evaluations. For instance, jurors (陪审员) asked to consider a 30-year prison sentence before discussion often settle closer to this figure, while those given a 10-year reference tend to suggest much shorter punishments. The Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman threw light on this tendency via his “wheel of fortune” experiment. In the experiment, participants spun a wheel that was secretly set to stop at either 10 or 65. After spinning, they were asked to estimate the percentage of African nations in the UN. Interestingly, those who saw the wheel stop at 10 guessed around 25%, while those seeing 65 guessed about 45%. Even when people know the anchor is random, this unreasonable reliance still persists. The anchoring effect works in two main ways: the process of adjusting one’s thoughts step by step and the influence of early information on later thinking. When people try to guess a number, they often start with the anchor and then change their answer only a little — never enough to get away from the anchor’s influence. This fact becomes apparent in the field of marketing: labels marked with first prices serve as high anchors, which cause consumers to perceive the value of discounts as higher than their actual worth. Neurological (神经学上的) studies find that anchoring stimulates the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) and the amygdala (杏仁核). This double activation explains why anchors influence both reasonable and emotional decisions. Yet the tendency has moral issues: lawyers demanding harsher initial sentences often secure longer sentences, while real estate agents controlling listing prices can artificially push up market values. To reduce it, people can set clear evaluation criteria and think carefully without focusing on original anchors, helping them make fairer, more reasonable choices. 32. Which of the following situations best illustrates the anchoring effect? A. A viewer likes a movie star and then enjoys all movies the star acts in. B. A buyer offers £600 for a handbag after the seller first says it costs £800. C. A student picks a book because its cover looks more attractive than others. D. A shopper buys a cheap scarf because it’s placed next to a luxury coat in the store. 33. Why do marketers usually display “original price” tags next to product prices? A. To prove that the original price was fixed in a reasonable way. B. To attract more customers by showing the product’s popularity. C. To show that the product’s quality matches its original high price perfectly well. D. To make consumers believe the discounts are more helpful than they really are. 34. Why does the author mention the prefrontal cortex and amygdala? A. To prove that the anchoring effect is an in-born mental tendency. B. To show that the anchoring effect can be controlled by adjusting brain activity. C. To explain that the anchoring effect shapes both sensible and emotional resolutions. D. To highlight the importance of neurological research in understanding mental phenomena. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe a specific experiment. B. To analyze a harmful influence. C. To discuss a moral phenomenon. D. To explain a mental tendency. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we turn 40, we often worry about how to keep our minds sharp — due to aging, heavy workloads, or the challenge of adapting to new technology, such as not learning as fast as before or trying new ways of doing things. This gap between past and present can be upsetting. ____36____ Recovery becomes a key limiting factor on mental performance as we age. Unlike younger people, older adults frequently face recovery bottlenecks. Many ways to stay sharp focus on improving recovery. In sports, people say, “You can only train as hard as you can recover.” ____37____ Young people are limited by motivation or energy, but for older adults, recovery is the issue, like lacking focus when working longer. Prioritize basic recovery methods: quality sleep, balanced nutrition and regular low-intensity exercise to boost energy and ease mental tiredness. ____38____ After leaving school, most of us no longer take formal exams, but setting learning objectives that require evaluation can keep our learning ability sharp. This not only boosts confidence but also pushes us to use new learning tools. It also helps us address issues like discomfort with challenging tasks or difficulty processing large amounts of information at once. A good benchmark is to stay capable of learning undergraduate-level courses on any subject. Maintaining a willingness to try new things promotes mental growth. Research shows that balancing familiar routines with new experiences yields the best results. ____39____ Balance new attempts with familiar things — like visiting your go-to restaurant three Fridays a month and a new one once. These strategies are effective to maintain mental sharpness. ____40____ They also share a common requirement: self-knowledge gained through observation and reflection. By understanding such aspects, such as nutritional gaps or exercise limits, you can thrive mentally regardless of age or life stage. A. This equally applies to mental performance. B. This balance helps us grow with a sense of duty. C. But we can get that sharpness back with three strategies. D. They all essentially require understanding your personal needs. E. Pursuing learning goals with proper assessment is also necessary. F. Formal exams after school are key to maintaining our learning ability. G. Engaging in new things does not mean abandoning proven effective methods. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 A magazine article claimed that people begin to resemble their parents around age 43.

He’d bought it decades ago in Paris, and often told her it captured their summers: chasing fireflies, eating strawberry shortcake by the lake, her first bike ride. But since grandpa’s weak heart diagnosis last year, things changed. He couldn’t walk far or talk long, and the camera — once a constant — was put in a dusty attic (阁楼) box, forgotten like an unfinished story. Last Saturday, mom had her clean the attic. Moving a pile of sweaters, her fingers brushed cold metal — the camera case. Dusting it off, the pine scent hit her, stinging her eyes. Opening it with a click, she saw the camera (lens still shiny, as if polished yesterday) and a small unopened film roll. Taped to it: grandpa’s messy handwriting, “For Lily — our 7th summer, the one with the rainbow.” Lily’s heart jumped — she remembered that summer well: they’d gotten caught in the rain picking blueberries, then a rainbow curved over the field. She’d begged for photos, but he laughed, “Save it for later, kiddo.” Now “later” came. Glancing back, under the camera, she found a faded brown developing kit, labeled: “Emergency film developing.” Suddenly she recalled how he’d taught her to develop film in the bathroom sink as a kid — now, she knew what she should do. 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。 Paragraph1: After developing the film roll, Lily rushed to her room and found an old photo printer. __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Lily held the photos and the camera tightly and ran to the hospital. ___________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
