Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them. So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in. “We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.” Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure-all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous (仓促的) decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed (逆转) ,” said an expert. For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away. 41. What daily tasks are the Allens unable to perform independently? A. Walking short distances within their own yard unaccompanied. B. Traveling to public places alone due to their physical condition. C. Preparing fine meals or managing household budgets without assistance. D. Communicating with distant relatives or organizing neighborhood events. 42. What does Mr. Allen’s preference for a “mixed community” reveal in aging societies? A. Seniors seek intergenerational interaction to avoid social isolation. B. Older adults prioritize diverse housing options to reduce living costs. C. Elderly individuals value cultural diversity to enhance daily engagement. D. Retirees aim to join groups mixing social activities with political activism. 43. Why does the expert stress avoiding “precipitous decisions”? A. Minor physical challenges usually resolve naturally over time. B. Adult children typically resist such moves causing family separation. C. Relocating to nursing homes often leads to irreversible lifestyle changes. D. Government regulations prohibit reversing housing choices after they are made. 44. What can we learn about of the Allens’ neighborhood group? A. “Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call. B The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens. C. People like Allens live in a special place for shared elderly caring. D. Seniors quit “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children. 45. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage? A. Attention, US seniors are suffering B. US grey band fights to stay at home C. US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents D. At home vs off home: a hard choice for US seniors 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了美国一些老年人为了能够在自己家中安度晚年，自发组织起来形成“就地养老”群体，通过互助和寻求外部服务来应对生活中的各种困难。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them.(如果没有外界的帮助，商店和公共场所对他们来说意味着难以想象的徒步旅行。)”可知，艾伦夫妇由于身体状况而无法独自前往公共场所。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.(但我想生活在一个混合的社区，而不仅仅是和老年人在一起。只要我们能在这里做到这一点，那就是我们想要的。)”可知，艾伦先生希望生活在混合社区，与不同年龄段的人一起生活，这表明老年人寻求代际互动以避免社交孤立。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed(实际上，像搬进养老院这样的做法很难逆转)”可知，专家强调避免“仓促决定”是因为搬到养老院往往会导致不可逆转的生活方式改变。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away.(为了获得灵感，“就地养老”团体现在每年支付会费——个人580美元，以换取知道木匠、厨师、计算机专家或家庭健康助手只需一个电话就能到来的安全感。)”可知，“就地养老”的人付费让必要的服务人员随时待命。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了美国一些老年人为了能够在自己家中安度晚年，自发组织起来形成“就地养老”群体，通过互助和寻求外部服务来应对生活中的各种困难，所以选项B“美国灰色群体争取留在家中”作为标题最合适，其中“grey band”指代老年人群体，“fights to stay at home”表达了他们争取留在家中的努力。故选B。 C Exploring the vast area where psychology and physiology meet, recent studies are continually casting light on an interesting phenomenon: the impact of our mental states on physical health. The concept of a mind-body connection, often viewed with disbelief, is now gaining support through scientific inquiry. For instance, happiness has been found to have a protective effect against common illnesses. This revelation came from a 2003 study where over 300 participants, exposed to a cold virus, exhibited fewer symptoms if they had a generally positive outlook on life. These individuals weren’t just happier; they were healthier. This link between our psychological state and physical well-being extends beyond temporary illness. Focusing on the longevity of optimists, research led by Dr. Laura Kubzansky of Harvard has revealed that an optimistic outlook is associated with a lower ‘allostatic load’ — the wear and tear on the body from long-term stress. This reduced burden is thought to contribute to longer lifespans, with the most optimistic among us living significantly longer lives. Another striking area where the mind’s influence is visible is in the function and length of telomeres (端粒) — protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) . Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn’s pioneering work has shown that individuals under long-term stress have shorter telomeres, which can lead to earlier cellular aging. On the other hand, positive mental attitudes and practices like meditation appear to preserve telomere length, suggesting that our mental practices can influence the very aging process of our cells. The implications of these findings are broad and significant, particularly in medical treatment and recovery. The placebo (安慰剂) effect, once a mere footnote in clinical trials, is now a central focus in understanding how belief and expectation can bring about real physical changes. From reducing pain to improving surgery outcomes, placebos have demonstrated that our belief in a treatment’s effectiveness can appear as real healing in the body. Recent experiments have explored this by administering ‘open-label’ placebos — placebos given with clear statement that they contain no active ingredients — to patients. Remarkably, these placebos can still lead to improvements in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, challenging our perception about the nature of healing. As we look to the future, the developing field of psychoneuroimmunology (心理神经免疫学) is sure to offer even more insights into how our mental landscape affects our physical health. The implications of this could be transformative, as we begin to integrate psychological wellness into our standard healthcare practices. The ultimate question that emerges is not whether our minds influence our health — that much is clear — but how we can use this power most effectively for a healthier society. 46. What did the 2003 study reveal about the mind- body connection in the passage? A. Belief in traditional treatment produces reliable physical improvements. B. Optimism is related to reduced physical pressure and shorter lifespan. C. The mind- body connection is now supported by scientific research. D. Positive outlook could prevent participants from catching cold. 47. What can be inferred from Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn’s research on telomeres? A. Shortened telomeres are the primary cause of all chronic diseases. B. Positive mental practices may slow down the biological aging of cells. C. Stress has no measurable impact on the structure of human chromosomes. D. Telomere length is mainly determined by genetic factor instead of lifestyle. 48. Paragraph 5 serves to __________ in the context. A. highlight the invisible effects of open- label placebos on patients. B. provide an example challenging traditional view of placebos. C. explain the chemical mechanism behind the placebo effect. D. summarize the historical development of placebo research. 49. What is implied to integrate psychological wellness into standard healthcare? A Permanent focus on the placebo effect to reduce healthcare costs. B. Future research into all mental states other than optimism and stress. C. Further research into how to maximize the mind’s power over health. D. Traditional medical treatments to be replaced with mental health cures. 50. Which title best captures the central theme of the passage? A. The Placebo Effect: A Closer Look at Belief-Driven Healing B. Optimism vs. Pessimism: A Decade-Long Study on Longevity C. The Mind-Body Bond: How Mental States Shape Physical Health D. Telomeres and Aging: The Hidden Link to Psychological Wellbeing 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. B 49. C 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍心理状态对身体健康的影响，从积极情绪、端粒、安慰剂效应等方面论证身心关联的科学性。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The concept of a mind-body connection, often viewed with disbelief, is now gaining support through scientific inquiry. For instance, happiness has been found to have a protective effect against common illnesses. This revelation came from a 2003 study where over 300 participants, exposed to a cold virus, exhibited fewer symptoms if they had a generally positive outlook on life.(身心关联的概念以往常遭质疑，如今正通过科学研究得到支持。例如，研究发现幸福感有助于预防常见疾病。这一发现来自2003年的一项研究，该研究让300多名参与者接触感冒病毒，结果心态积极的人症状更轻。)”可知，2003年的研究表明身心关联得到了科学研究的支持。故选C项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn’s pioneering work has shown that individuals under long-term stress have shorter telomeres, which can lead to earlier cellular aging. On the other hand, positive mental attitudes and practices like meditation appear to preserve telomere length, suggesting that our mental practices can influence the very aging process of our cells.(伊丽莎白·布莱克本博士的开创性研究表明，长期处于压力下的人端粒更短，这会导致细胞更早衰老。相反，积极的心态和冥想等行为似乎能保持端粒长度，这表明心理活动可以影响细胞的衰老过程。)”可知，积极的心理活动可能减缓细胞的生理衰老。故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Recent experiments have explored this by administering ‘open-label’ placebos — placebos given with clear statement that they contain no active ingredients — to patients. Remarkably, these placebos can still lead to improvements in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, challenging our perception about the nature of healing.(最近的研究通过给患者服用‘公开安慰剂’——即明确告知不含有效成分的安慰剂——来探索这一效应。值得注意的是，这些安慰剂仍然能改善肠易激综合征等病症，挑战了我们对治愈本质的认知。)”可知，第五段通过举例挑战了人们对安慰剂的传统看法。故选B项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The ultimate question that emerges is not whether our minds influence our health — that much is clear — but how we can use this power most effectively for a healthier society.(最终的问题不在于我们的心理是否影响健康——这一点已经很明确——而在于我们如何最有效地利用这种力量来建设更健康的社会。)”可知，将心理健康融入标准医疗需要进一步研究如何最大限度发挥心理对健康的作用。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Exploring the vast area where psychology and physiology meet, recent studies are continually casting light on an interesting phenomenon: the impact of our mental states on physical health.(近期研究不断探索心理学与生理学的交叉领域，揭示了一个有趣的现象：心理状态对身体健康的影响。)”可知，文章围绕身心关联展开，从2003年的研究、端粒研究、安慰剂效应等多个方面，论证了心理状态对身体健康的塑造作用，因此 “身心关联：心理状态如何塑造身体健康”最能概括全文核心主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D The search for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most exciting aspects of modern science. Given its importance, significant resources are devoted to the young science of astrobiology (天体生物学) , ranging from rovers (探测器) on Mars to observations of planets moving around other stars. The goal of this science would be the actual discovery of alien (外星的) life. Such a discovery would likely have profound scientific and philosophical implications. But for all we know, extraterrestrial life may not even exist. Fortunately, even if alien life is never discovered, simply searching for it will bring valuable benefits to society. Why is this the case? First, astrobiology is fundamentally multidisciplinary (多学科) . The search for alien life requires a grasp of astronomy, biology, geology, and planetary science at a minimum. University courses in astrobiology need to cover elements of all these different subjects. By forcing multiple scientific disciplines to interact, astrobiology is stimulating a partial reunification of the sciences. It is helping to move 21st-century science away from the extreme specialization of today. It is also important to recognize that astrobiology is an incredibly open-ended field, searching for life in the universe takes us from extreme environments on Earth to the plains of Mars. Whether or not life is discovered in any of these environments, this search will continue. The range of entirely new environments opened to investigation will be essentially non-restricted. Therefore, it has the potential to be a never-ending source of scientific and intellectual stimulation. Beyond the more narrowly intellectual benefits of astrobiology are a range of wider societal benefits. These arise from the kinds of perspectives that the study of astrobiology naturally promotes. It is simply not possible to consider searching for life on Mars without moving away from the Earth-centric perspectives that dominate the social and political lives of most people today. Indeed, it is only by sending spacecraft out to explore the solar system that we can obtain images of our own planet that show it in its true cosmic setting. Today, our planet is faced with global challenges that can only be met by increased international cooperation. At such a time, the growth of a unifying perspective is potentially of enormous importance. “The most dangerous worldview is the one of those who have not viewed the world,” said the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. I think that there is an important implication in this perspective. Humanity is an intelligent technological species that now dominates the only known inhabited planet in the universe. It has a responsibility to develop international social institutions appropriate to managing the situation in which we find ourselves. 51. What is the primary impact of astrobiology on 21st-century science? A. It prioritizes biological research over astronomical observations. B. It limits students’ training to a single core subject for deeper expertise. C. It forms integration of scientific disciplines to reduce overspecialization. D. It shifts focus from planetary exploration to laboratory-based experiments. 52. Which statement about the open-ended nature of astrobiology is supported? A. The search will cease once a single new environment is found. B. It offers limitless novel environments for scientific exploration. C. Discovering life is the core criterion for the value of the field. D. Its investigations are restricted to Mars-like environments. 53. How does astrobiology contribute to addressing global challenges? A. By promoting a shared viewpoint to urge international cooperation. B. By replacing political negotiations with scientific decision-making. C. By motivating resource conservation from the Earth-centric perspective. D. By providing advanced technology to monitor climate change directly. 54. Why does the author quote Alexander von Humboldt’s words? A. To criticize the narrow worldview of those without world travel experience. B. To emphasize the necessity of viewing Earth from a global perspective. C. To argue that technological dominance alone defines human intelligence. D. To suggest that naturalists are better equipped to address global challenges. 55. What does the author argue for in writing the passage? A. The history and development of astrobiology as a science B. The challenges of international cooperation in scientific research C. The importance of space exploration for technological advances D. The potential benefits and significance of the search for alien life 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. A 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍天体生物学的价值，即便未发现外星生命，其研究也能带来诸多科学与社会益处。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“By forcing multiple scientific disciplines to interact, astrobiology is stimulating a partial reunification of the sciences. It is helping to move 21st-century science away from the extreme specialization of today.(通过促使多个科学学科相互交融，天体生物学正推动科学实现部分融合，助力21世纪科学摆脱当下过度专业化的困境)”可知，天体生物学促进学科整合、减少过度专业化，对21世纪科学产生核心影响。故选C项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The range of entirely new environments opened to investigation will be essentially non-restricted.(可供研究的全新环境范围基本上是不受限制的)”可知，天体生物学为科学探索提供了无限的全新环境，支撑其开放性本质。故选B项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Today, our planet is faced with global challenges that can only be met by increased international cooperation. At such a time, the growth of a unifying perspective is potentially of enormous importance.(如今，地球面临的全球性挑战，只有加强国际合作才能应对。在这样的时刻，统一视角的形成具有潜在的重大意义)”可知，天体生物学通过推动共识形成、促进国际合作，助力应对全球挑战。故选A项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“It is simply not possible to consider searching for life on Mars without moving away from the Earth-centric perspectives that dominate the social and political lives of most people today.(如果不摆脱如今主导大多数人社会和政治生活的以地球为中心的视角，就根本无法考虑在火星上寻找生命)”以及引用的话语可知，作者引用这句话是为了强调从全球视角看待地球的必要性。故选B项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Fortunately, even if alien life is never discovered, simply searching for it will bring valuable benefits to society.(幸运的是，即使永远找不到外星生命，仅仅是寻找它的过程也会给社会带来宝贵的益处)”，结合后文科学价值、社会价值等论述可知，作者旨在论证寻找外星生命的潜在益处与重要意义。故选D项。 第II卷（共35分） 注意事项：请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Dad’s love for dark chocolate took root in the 1960s, when our family drove an hour to the only shop making it from scratch. My parents would buy dark chocolate almond bark (杏仁巧克力) . We’d return with a white box tied with ribbon; at home, my father would ceremoniously break the chocolate into pieces, each piece with exactly two almonds — his engineer’s precision shining through. Dad was strict and quick to frustrate over work, but when he bit into a square of chocolate, the tightness in his shoulders would melt away, and a deep contented smile would spread across his face. That smile was why I joined the ritual (仪式) , even though dark chocolate tasted bitter to me — it was my window to his gentle side. After dinner, his call of “chocolate time” drew us to the living room. The ritual wasn’t just about candy; it was about being together. Friends and family knew my father loved chocolate, but few noticed how specific his tastes were. He spurned sugary or filled chocolates — only kept strong and simple ones. When gifted boxes of assortments (什锦) , he would pick the darkest plain pieces, leaving caramels (焦糖) and cordials (酒心) for the rest of us. We were all happy to help. As high-quality dark chocolate became widely available, my father no longer needed to make a long trip for his purchases. He began buying bars from the supermarket, but the ritual stayed. After my mother passed away, and I was a divorced empty nester, Dad and I grew especially close. We talked more and laughed more. And always, we ate chocolate — an indulgence (享受) he kept up until the very end of his life. Today, my grown children know they can always find an 86% cacao bar in my kitchen, just like in their Grandpa’s. Eating chocolate together is our family heritage — a quiet ritual binding us across generations. It’s sweet. It’s bitter. It’s ours. 56. What did Father’s way of breaking the chocolate into pieces reveal? (no more than 8 words) __________________________________________ 57. How did chocolate influence Father’s behaviour? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word in paragraph3 mean? (no more than 3 words) __________________________________________ 59. What does the paragraph4 mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________ 60. Please explain how you deal with family relationship with an example. (no more than 25words) __________________________________________ 【答案】56. His engineer’s precision. Or: Father did everything precisely. Or: He applied precision in engineering/technique to everything/daily tasks. 57. It made him gentle/ soft/ relaxed. Or: It softened him. Or: It brought out his gentle side. 58. Refused. / Rejected. / Disliked. / Not care for. 59. Even though the circumstances changed, the ritual remained. Or: Despite all the changes, the ritual continued. Or: The chocolate ritual went on / remained unbroken through life’s changes. 60. I have regular family dinners which provide a dedicated time for sharing daily life, fostering communication and a sense of belonging. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者一家通过分享黑巧克力形成家庭传统，父亲严谨又温柔，这一仪式历经生活变迁仍被传承，成为连接几代人的家族纽带的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“My parents would buy dark chocolate almond bark. We’d return with a white box tied with ribbon; at home, my father would ceremoniously break the chocolate into pieces, each piece with exactly two almonds — his engineer’s precision shining through. (父母会买黑巧克力杏仁脆皮。我们会带着一个系着丝带的白盒子回家；在家里，父亲会郑重地把巧克力掰成小块，每块恰好有两颗杏仁——他工程师般的精准尽显无疑。)”可知，父亲掰巧克力的方式体现了他工程师的精准。故答案为His engineer’s precision. Or: Father did everything precisely. Or: He applied precision in engineering/technique to everything/daily tasks. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Dad was strict and quick to frustrate over work, but when he bit into a square of chocolate, the tightness in his shoulders would melt away, and a deep contented smile would spread across his face. (父亲平时很严厉，工作中容易烦躁，但当他咬下一块巧克力时，肩膀的紧绷感就会消散，脸上露出满足的笑容。)”可知，巧克力让父亲变得温柔放松。故答案为It made him gentle/soft/ relaxed. Or: It softened him. Or: It brought out his gentle side. 【58题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段中“Friends and family knew my father loved chocolate, but few noticed how specific his tastes were. He spurned sugary or filled chocolates — only kept strong and simple ones. When gifted boxes of assortments, he would pick the darkest plain pieces, leaving caramels and cordials for the rest of us. (亲朋好友都知道父亲喜欢巧克力，但很少有人注意到他的口味有多挑剔。他spurned含糖或夹心的巧克力，只保留浓郁纯粹的黑巧克力。收到什锦巧克力礼盒时，他会挑最黑的纯巧克力，把焦糖和酒心巧克力留给我们。)”可知，父亲只保留浓郁纯粹的黑巧克力，由此可知，父亲不接受、拒绝其他种类的巧克力，故画线词意思是“拒绝”。故答案为Refused. / Rejected. / Disliked. / Not care for. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“As high-quality dark chocolate became widely available, my father no longer needed to make a long trip for his purchases. He began buying bars from the supermarket, but the ritual stayed. After my mother passed away, and I was a divorced empty nester, Dad and I grew especially close. We talked more and laughed more. And always, we ate chocolate — an indulgence he kept up until the very end of his life. (随着高品质黑巧克力变得普及，父亲再也不用长途跋涉去购买了。他开始从超市买巧克力条，但这个仪式保留了下来。母亲去世后，我成了离异的空巢老人，我和父亲变得格外亲密。我们聊得更多，笑得更多。我们一直吃巧克力——这是他坚持到生命最后一刻的享受。)”可知，尽管生活境况改变，吃巧克力的仪式依然延续。故答案为Even though the circumstances changed, the ritual remained. Or: Despite all the changes, the ritual continued. Or: The chocolate ritual went on / remained unbroken through life’s changes. 【60题详解】 开放回答题。本题为开放性试题，答案合理即可，不超过25个单词。结合家庭沟通、陪伴等作答。我经常和家人一起吃饭，这段专门的时光可以分享日常、增进交流，还能培养归属感。故答案为I have regular family dinners which provide a dedicated time for sharing daily life, fostering communication and a sense of belonging. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是振华中学的李津。学校将在本月底的“科技周”活动中举办一场英文演讲比赛，主题为 What Makes a Scientist。请你写一篇演讲稿参赛。内容提示如下： （1）你认为成为科学家的必备品质（如个人品格、学术研究等方面）； （2）以你敬佩的科学家为例说明； （3）向同学发起号召……。 注意：（1）词数不少于100；（2）可适当增加细节，以使内容充实，行文连贯。 What Makes a Scientist ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 What Makes a Scientist Hello everyone. Have you ever stared at the stars as a child, endlessly asking “why”? That innocent curiosity is where every great journey begins — including the journey to become a scientist. So, what makes a true scientist? It’s not just knowledge, but certain qualities. First, a scientist must possess curiosity — always asking questions. Second, perseverance is essential — because the path of discovery is paved with setbacks and failures. And third, integrity matters greatly —a scientist should be honest and work efficiently with others. We have a lot of scientists with such qualities around. Take for example, Deng Jiaxian, a key figure in China’s “Two Bombs, One Satellite” program, worked in secret for decades with great patriotism and perseverance. In our new era, Tu Youyou and her team kept trying through years of trials and finally found artemisinin, saving millions of lives. They show us that real scientists serve the people both heart and soul and never give up. So let’s start now. Be curious in class, ask why, learn from mistakes, and help each other. Science is about making the world better — and each of us can be part of that great mission. Thank you. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇演讲稿，讲述成为科学家的必备品质，以敬佩的科学家为例说明，并向同学们发起号召。 【详解】1.词汇积累 必要的：essential→necessary 坚持：perseverance→persistence 挫折：setback→obstacle 放弃：give up→quit 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Take for example, Deng Jiaxian, a key figure in China’s “Two Bombs, One Satellite” program, worked in secret for decades with great patriotism and perseverance. 拓展句：Take Deng Jiaxian for example, who was a key figure in China’s “Two Bombs, One Satellite” program，worked in secret for decades. 【点睛】【高分句型1】That innocent curiosity is where every great journey begins — including the journey to become a scientist.（运用了where引导的表语从句） 【高分句型2】They show us that real scientists serve the people both heart and soul and never give up.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期高三模拟训练 英 语 本训练分为第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）及听力三部分，总分共130分，用时100分钟。练习结束后，请上交答题卡。 祝各位考生考试顺利！ 第I卷（共95分） 注意事项：每小题选出答案后，用铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 第一部分：英语知识运用 第一节 单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1. — Good news!

The judges will select prizewinners from each of the ten subject categories, such as Economics, History, International Relations, etc. Entering an essay will build knowledge and refine skills of argumentation. It also gives students the chance to have their work assessed by experts. All of our essay prizes are judged by a panel of senior academics drawn from leading universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and Princeton, etc. Assessment Our grading system is proprietary (专有的). Essays will be judged on knowledge and understanding of the relevant material, the competent use of evidence, quality of argumentation, originality structure, writing style and persuasive force. Policy regarding the use of AI Contestants are welcome to make use of large language models (LLMs) and other related tools in order to develop their thinking on the subject of their essays, and to stress test their arguments. Such online tools should be used for research support and as a thought partner, but certainly not as a substitute for the human author. Our examination techniques and the assessment tools we ourselves have developed, are carefully designed to recognise and reward original thought and expression. Prizes: There are prizes for the best essays in each category. The first place winners in each subject category will receive a scholarship worth US$5000 towards the cost of attending any JLI programme. The second place US$2000, and the third place US$1000. Senior and Junior entries are judged separately, meaning each category awards six prizes in total. Prize-giving ceremonies will take place in London, at which winners and runners-up will be able to meet some of the judges and other faculty members of the JLI. The candidate who submits the best essay overall will be awarded an honorary JLI Junior Fellowship, which comes with a US $10, 000scholarship to attend one or more of our summer schools and/ or visiting scholars programmes. Registration Deadline: Friday, 31 March, 2026 Submission deadline: 31 May, 2026 Cost: Entry is free. 36. What does the John Locke Institute primarily encourage in young people? A. Business awareness.

B In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them. So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in. “We are totally dependent on ourselves” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.” Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure-all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous (仓促的) decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed (逆转) ,” said an expert. For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away. 41. What daily tasks are the Allens unable to perform independently? A. Walking short distances within their own yard unaccompanied. B. Traveling to public places alone due to their physical condition. C. Preparing fine meals or managing household budgets without assistance. D. Communicating with distant relatives or organizing neighborhood events. 42. What does Mr. Allen’s preference for a “mixed community” reveal in aging societies? A. Seniors seek intergenerational interaction to avoid social isolation. B. Older adults prioritize diverse housing options to reduce living costs. C. Elderly individuals value cultural diversity to enhance daily engagement. D. Retirees aim to join groups mixing social activities with political activism. 43. Why does the expert stress avoiding “precipitous decisions”? A. Minor physical challenges usually resolve naturally over time. B. Adult children typically resist such moves causing family separation. C. Relocating to nursing homes often leads to irreversible lifestyle changes. D. Government regulations prohibit reversing housing choices after they are made. 44. What can we learn about of the Allens’ neighborhood group? A. “Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call. B. The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens. C. People like Allens live in a special place for shared elderly caring. D. Seniors quit “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children. 45. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage? A. Attention US seniors are suffering B. US grey band fights to stay at home C. US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents D. At home vs off home: a hard choice for US seniors C Exploring the vast area where psychology and physiology meet, recent studies are continually casting light on an interesting phenomenon: the impact of our mental states on physical health. The concept of a mind-body connection, often viewed with disbelief, is now gaining support through scientific inquiry. For instance, happiness has been found to have a protective effect against common illnesses. This revelation came from a 2003 study where over 300 participants, exposed to a cold virus, exhibited fewer symptoms if they had a generally positive outlook on life. These individuals weren’t just happier; they were healthier. This link between our psychological state and physical well-being extends beyond temporary illness. Focusing on the longevity of optimists, research led by Dr. Laura Kubzansky of Harvard has revealed that an optimistic outlook is associated with a lower ‘allostatic load’ — the wear and tear on the body from long-term stress. This reduced burden is thought to contribute to longer lifespans, with the most optimistic among us living significantly longer lives. Another striking area where the mind’s influence is visible is in the function and length of telomeres (端粒) — protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) . Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn’s pioneering work has shown that individuals under long-term stress have shorter telomeres, which can lead to earlier cellular aging. On the other hand, positive mental attitudes and practices like meditation appear to preserve telomere length, suggesting that our mental practices can influence the very aging process of our cells. The implications of these findings are broad and significant, particularly in medical treatment and recovery. The placebo (安慰剂) effect, once a mere footnote in clinical trials, is now a central focus in understanding how belief and expectation can bring about real physical changes. From reducing pain to improving surgery outcomes, placebos have demonstrated that our belief in a treatment’s effectiveness can appear as real healing in the body. Recent experiments have explored this by administering ‘open-label’ placebos — placebos given with clear statement that they contain no active ingredients — to patients. Remarkably, these placebos can still lead to improvements in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, challenging our perception about the nature of healing. As we look to the future, the developing field of psychoneuroimmunology (心理神经免疫学) is sure to offer even more insights into how our mental landscape affects our physical health. The implications of this could be transformative, as we begin to integrate psychological wellness into our standard healthcare practices. The ultimate question that emerges is not whether our minds influence our health — that much is clear — but how we can use this power most effectively for a healthier society. 46. What did the 2003 study reveal about the mind- body connection in the passage? A. Belief in traditional treatment produces reliable physical improvements. B. Optimism is related to reduced physical pressure and shorter lifespan. C. The mind- body connection is now supported by scientific research. D. Positive outlook could prevent participants from catching cold. 47. What can be inferred from Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn’s research on telomeres? A. Shortened telomeres are the primary cause of all chronic diseases. B. Positive mental practices may slow down the biological aging of cells. C. Stress has no measurable impact on the structure of human chromosomes. D. Telomere length is mainly determined by genetic factor instead of lifestyle. 48. Paragraph 5 serves to __________ in the context. A. highlight the invisible effects of open- label placebos on patients. B. provide an example challenging traditional view of placebos. C. explain the chemical mechanism behind the placebo effect. D. summarize the historical development of placebo research. 49. What is implied to integrate psychological wellness into standard healthcare? A. Permanent focus on the placebo effect to reduce healthcare costs. B Future research into all mental states other than optimism and stress. C. Further research into how to maximize the mind’s power over health. D. Traditional medical treatments to be replaced with mental health cures. 50. Which title best captures the central theme of the passage? A. The Placebo Effect: A Closer Look at Belief-Driven Healing B. Optimism vs. Pessimism: A Decade-Long Study on Longevity C. The Mind-Body Bond: How Mental States Shape Physical Health D. Telomeres and Aging: The Hidden Link to Psychological Wellbeing D The search for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most exciting aspects of modern science. Given its importance, significant resources are devoted to the young science of astrobiology (天体生物学) , ranging from rovers (探测器) on Mars to observations of planets moving around other stars. The goal of this science would be the actual discovery of alien (外星的) life. Such a discovery would likely have profound scientific and philosophical implications. But for all we know, extraterrestrial life may not even exist. Fortunately, even if alien life is never discovered, simply searching for it will bring valuable benefits to society. Why is this the case? First, astrobiology is fundamentally multidisciplinary (多学科) . The search for alien life requires a grasp of astronomy, biology, geology, and planetary science at a minimum. University courses in astrobiology need to cover elements of all these different subjects. By forcing multiple scientific disciplines to interact, astrobiology is stimulating a partial reunification of the sciences. It is helping to move 21st-century science away from the extreme specialization of today. It is also important to recognize that astrobiology is an incredibly open-ended field, searching for life in the universe takes us from extreme environments on Earth to the plains of Mars. Whether or not life is discovered in any of these environments, this search will continue. The range of entirely new environments opened to investigation will be essentially non-restricted. Therefore, it has the potential to be a never-ending source of scientific and intellectual stimulation. Beyond the more narrowly intellectual benefits of astrobiology are a range of wider societal benefits. These arise from the kinds of perspectives that the study of astrobiology naturally promotes. It is simply not possible to consider searching for life on Mars without moving away from the Earth-centric perspectives that dominate the social and political lives of most people today. Indeed, it is only by sending spacecraft out to explore the solar system that we can obtain images of our own planet that show it in its true cosmic setting. Today, our planet is faced with global challenges that can only be met by increased international cooperation. At such a time, the growth of a unifying perspective is potentially of enormous importance. “The most dangerous worldview is the one of those who have not viewed the world,” said the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. I think that there is an important implication in this perspective. Humanity is an intelligent technological species that now dominates the only known inhabited planet in the universe. It has a responsibility to develop international social institutions appropriate to managing the situation in which we find ourselves. 51. What is the primary impact of astrobiology on 21st-century science? A. It prioritizes biological research over astronomical observations. B. It limits students’ training to a single core subject for deeper expertise. C. It forms integration of scientific disciplines to reduce overspecialization. D. It shifts focus from planetary exploration to laboratory-based experiments. 52. Which statement about the open-ended nature of astrobiology is supported? A. The search will cease once a single new environment is found. B. It offers limitless novel environments for scientific exploration. C. Discovering life is the core criterion for the value of the field. D. Its investigations are restricted to Mars-like environments. 53. How does astrobiology contribute to addressing global challenges? A. By promoting a shared viewpoint to urge international cooperation. B By replacing political negotiations with scientific decision-making. C. By motivating resource conservation from the Earth-centric perspective. D. By providing advanced technology to monitor climate change directly. 54. Why does the author quote Alexander von Humboldt’s words? A. To criticize the narrow worldview of those without world travel experience. B. To emphasize the necessity of viewing Earth from a global perspective. C. To argue that technological dominance alone defines human intelligence. D. To suggest that naturalists are better equipped to address global challenges. 55. What does the author argue for in writing the passage? A. The history and development of astrobiology as a science B. The challenges of international cooperation in scientific research C. The importance of space exploration for technological advances D. The potential benefits and significance of the search for alien life 第II卷（共35分） 注意事项：请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Dad’s love for dark chocolate took root in the 1960s, when our family drove an hour to the only shop making it from scratch. My parents would buy dark chocolate almond bark (杏仁巧克力) . We’d return with a white box tied with ribbon; at home, my father would ceremoniously break the chocolate into pieces, each piece with exactly two almonds — his engineer’s precision shining through. Dad was strict and quick to frustrate over work, but when he bit into a square of chocolate, the tightness in his shoulders would melt away, and a deep contented smile would spread across his face. That smile was why I joined the ritual (仪式) , even though dark chocolate tasted bitter to me — it was my window to his gentle side. After dinner, his call of “chocolate time” drew us to the living room. The ritual wasn’t just about candy; it was about being together. Friends and family knew my father loved chocolate, but few noticed how specific his tastes were. He spurned sugary or filled chocolates — only kept strong and simple ones. When gifted boxes of assortments (什锦) , he would pick the darkest plain pieces, leaving caramels (焦糖) and cordials (酒心) for the rest of us. We were all happy to help. As high-quality dark chocolate became widely available, my father no longer needed to make a long trip for his purchases. He began buying bars from the supermarket, but the ritual stayed. After my mother passed away, and I was a divorced empty nester, Dad and I grew especially close. We talked more and laughed more. And always, we ate chocolate — an indulgence (享受) he kept up until the very end of his life. Today, my grown children know they can always find an 86% cacao bar in my kitchen, just like in their Grandpa’s. Eating chocolate together is our family heritage — a quiet ritual binding us across generations. It’s sweet. It’s bitter. It’s ours. 56. What did Father’s way of breaking the chocolate into pieces reveal? (no more than 8 words) __________________________________________ 57. How did chocolate influence Father’s behaviour? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word in paragraph3 mean? (no more than 3 words) __________________________________________ 59. What does the paragraph4 mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________ 60. Please explain how you deal with family relationship with an example.

The university of Virginia has published a report that college educated women who weed in their thirties earn an average of fifty six percent more than those who get married a decade earlier. On the contrary, men who settled LED down in their twenties have higher incomes. Then those who wait until after thirty, no matter their education. The national marriage project study shows mary later is a growing trend in the U. S. IT notes that the average age of marrying is at an all time high of twenty seven for women and twenty nine for men, compared to nineteen ninety, when the averages were twenty three for women and twenty six for men. But while women have actually benefited financially from delayed marriages, men who weed earlier in life tend to be more successful later on. Around two thirds of lifetime income growth takes place during the first ten years of a career, but getting married at a Younger age tends to be a good career move for men, perhaps because married men are more sure of themselves compared to single men, leading to more productivity, suggest business insider. The study also shows that men who never marry earn significantly less than those who do.
