W: It’s tough, but I’ve found some ways to make it easier. How about you, Tom? How do you balance work and personal life? M: Oh, I usually work from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It’s quite a long day, so I try to set clear boundaries between work and personal time. I make a daily schedule, listing my working hours, my free time, and even things like exercise or social activities. W: That’s smart! I’ve tried to make plans before, but I never stick to them. M: It’s okay not to be perfect at everything. Rest is also important. W: I know. When I’m at work, I take about 10 minutes every hour to walk around or listen to some music to refresh myself. When I’m studying, I try to take a longer break every couple of hours — maybe doing some reading or light stretching exercises in the break room. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．What is the speaker mainly talking about? A．The personal space rules. B．The pace of life in South Korea. C．Her experience with culture shock. 19．Why did the speaker leave Italy? A．For work. B．For study. C．For travel. 20．Which of the following might the speaker feel comfortable with? A．The school life. B．The safety cameras. C．The quiet in public. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．C 【原文】 I recently moved from Italy to South Korea to teach at an international high school in Seoul. Now, after six months of living here, I’m finally getting used to almost everything! But here are some of the things I found the most surprising when I first arrived here. Firstly, school is taken very seriously here. Even very young kids attend several schools and after-school activities and have a lot of homework. This leads to good grades and well-behaved kids but also puts a lot of pressure on young people. Secondly, the pace of life here is really fast. If you order food at a restaurant, it can usually be on your table in minutes with good quality. If you need something fixed, or your clothes cleaned, it can usually be done within a few hours, which is amazing! Thirdly, the personal space rules are different. People stand closer together than I was used to. But they also tend to be a lot quieter in public here, which is nice! Finally, security cameras are everywhere, and people will happily leave their computers, phones, and wallets on café tables. I still can’t get used to that! 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A A visa for travelling to Europe is commonly known as a Schengen Visa.

(最后，上传护照复印件和白底护照照片，然后保存以完成申请。)”可知，在iVisa上提交申请前的最后一步是上传护照复印件和照片。故选C项。 23．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Additionally, iVisa offers a passport photo service for $1 per photo, with a guarantee that it meets all government requirements. (此外，iVisa提供护照照片服务，每张1美元，保证符合所有政府要求。)”可知，iVisa会提供符合要求的护照照片。故选A项。 B If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spill outward like an unfolding story. We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats. The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) poaching statistics in the country. Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were. Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. 24．What did the author witness about the lions? A．Their playful race. B．Their staged show. C．Their fierce conflict. D．Their hunting attempt. 25．What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A key concept. B．A public image. C．An ignored idea. D．An active practice. 26．Which of the following best describes Damien? A．Calm and distant. B．Informed and passionate. C．Energetic and creative. D．Disciplined and ambitious. 27．What does the author think of the safari? A．It displayed racial harmony. B．It had a disappointing ending. C．It revealed why she loved nature. D．It satisfied what she could hope for. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者记述了在南非Waterberg私人保护区观兽旅行的经历。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration.(我们刚刚目睹了一场引人注目的对峙：母狮们露出牙齿和肌肉，对一头靠得太近的占主导地位的雄狮。先是咆哮声，然后是突然而猛烈的冲锋。狮爪飞舞，它们的呼吸在草原上方的空气中飘荡，最后雄狮沮丧地转身倒在地上)”可知，作者目睹了狮子之间激烈的冲突。故选C项。 25．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino poaching statistics in the country.(由于私人保护区、土地所有者和反偷猎单位之间的合作，该地区记录了该国最低的犀牛偷猎数据)”可知，该地区在保护野生动物方面取得了显著成效，说明保护在该地区是一种积极的实践。由此可推测，a lived value意为“一种积极的实践”，D选项“An active practice.( 一种积极的实践)”符合题意。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound.(首席导游Damien Fourie知识渊博，对每一处景象和声音都像孩子一样兴奋)”以及“And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were.( 后来在驱车途中，我们看到一头两周大的白犀牛摇摇晃晃地跟在它的母亲身旁走着。那一刻，它和我们一样兴奋不已)”可知，Damien Fourie知识渊博，对每一次的景象和声音都充满热情，由此可推测出他是一个知识丰富且充满激情的人。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes.(并不是每一次观兽旅行都需要一个激动人心的结局。有时候，一个缓慢、雾蒙蒙的早晨和一个安静的甲板就足够了)”可知，作者认为观兽旅行并不总是需要激动人心的结局，有时一个安静、缓慢的早晨和甲板也能满足她的期望。由此可推测出作者认为这次观兽旅行满足了她的期望。D选项“It satisfied what she could hope for.( 这满足了她所期望的一切。)”符合题意。故选D项。 C Every year, monarch butterflies travel thousands of kilometers as they migrate from Canada to Mexico in the fall, just to head back north again in the spring. This is possible thanks to the natural structure of their wings, which makes them lightweight, flexible, and excellent at flying — a unique combination the researchers wanted to copy in their robots. Despite their small size, the natural design of monarch butterfly wings is very complex, evolving to stand extremely long journeys. One of the fundamental principles that make these wings so efficient during flight is that they don’t just create thrust (推力) by actively moving, but also by passively bending their natural shape, which allows them to ‘glide’ without spending additional energy. To achieve this, the research team, led by Oliver Gutfleisch at TU Darmstadt, built the robotic butterfly wings by putting magnetic particles (磁性粒子) into a flexible plastic material. “The wings are made from a magnetic composite material that responds to external magnetic fields,” said Kilian Schāfer, co-author of the study. “When a magnetic field is applied, the magnetic particles cause the wings to bend, copying the movement of real butterfly wings.” Using 3D printing, the researchers created 12 different wing designs with different sizes to test their behavior using a mix of experimental tests and computer simulations. Some of the designs also recreated vein (翅脉) patterns in their design that copied those found in monarch butterfly wings to test if these structures could improve their performance. What they found was that larger wings — about 28 mm long — with vein patterns were less rigid and easier to bend, making them better at adapting their shape during flight. In their tests, the scientists also found that butterflies that were 3D-printed using higher energy laser (激光) settings were thinner and better at bending. However, they were also more delicate and easily damaged. “The biggest challenge was creating thin, flexible structures with vein patterns that were still functional while being less than a millimeter thick,” said Schāfer. “Ensuring that these features were preserved required fine-tuning 3Dprinting process, particularly the laser energy settings, to achieve the desired mechanical properties.” 28．How did the researchers make the robotic wings fly? A．By applying external magnetic fields. B．By using the restorative force of the plastic. C．By filling them with air pressure. D．By attaching tiny mechanical motors. 29．What did the scientists find about the 3D-printed robotic wings? A．All wing designs showed identical flight behavior. B．Smaller wings kept robots’ energy requirement low. C．Larger wings with vein patterns performed the best. D．The vein patterns made wings rigid and worse for flight. 30．What is the message implied in the last paragraph? A．3D printing helped produce stronger robotic butterflies. B．Adjusting laser energy could make ideal robotic butterflies. C．Magnetic material made flying robots unable to function well. D．Higher energy settings ensured wings were more adaptable. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Monarch Butterfly Migration Is Simply Magical B．Butterflies Lead to Artificial Colors for 3D Printing C．Butterflies’ Movements Reveal Earth’s Magnetic Field D．Monarch Butterflies Have Inspired the Robotic Wings 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．B 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员受帝王蝶翅膀高效飞行机制的启发，利用磁性复合材料和3D打印技术制造机器人翅膀，并通过调整翅膀尺寸、翅脉图案及激光能量设置来优化其飞行性能。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段中“When a magnetic field is applied, the magnetic particles cause the wings to bend, copying the movement of real butterfly wings. (当施加磁场时，磁性粒子会使翅膀发生弯曲，从而模仿出真实蝴蝶翅膀的运动方式。)”可知，研究人员通过施加外部磁场使机器人翅膀飞行。故选A项。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段中“What they found was that larger wings — about 28 mm long — with vein patterns were less rigid and easier to bend, making them better at adapting their shape during flight. (他们发现，带有翅脉图案、长约28毫米的较大翅膀，刚性较小，更容易弯曲，从而使其在飞行过程中能够更好地调整自身的形状。)”可知，科学家发现，带有翅脉图案的较大翅膀表现最佳。故选C项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ensuring that these features were preserved required fine-tuning 3Dprinting process, particularly the laser energy settings, to achieve the desired mechanical properties. (要确保这些特性得以保留，就需要对3D打印过程进行精细调整，尤其是要调整激光能量的设置，以达到所需的机械性能。)”可推知，调整激光能量可以制造出理想的机器人蝴蝶。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This is possible thanks to the natural structure of their wings, which makes them lightweight, flexible, and excellent at flying — a unique combination the researchers wanted to copy in their robots. (这之所以能够实现，是因为它们翅膀的自然结构使其具备了轻巧、灵活以及出色的飞行能力——这种独特的组合正是研究人员希望在他们的机器人中复制的。)”可知，文章整体围绕研究人员模仿帝王蝶翅膀的自然结构来制造机器人翅膀，并详细描述了设计、测试和优化过程。因此，D项“帝王蝶启发了机器人翅膀的设计”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Fifteen decades ago, Francis Galton first came up with the term “nature versus nurture”, and this debate over the factors shaping human identity has long been a central topic in human sciences. Do our genes determine our life paths, as hereditarians (遗传论者) argue? Or are we born as empty paper, shaped merely by the experiences we have in our families and the wider world? Today, however, a new branch of science is ready to overturn the debate. Through this new perspective, nature and nurture are hardly separable at all — genes and the environment do not act independently, but instead interact closely and even shape one another in tangible ways. Genes do not shape our identities merely on their own within our bodies; instead, they function partly by molding the environments we choose or create. A striking finding of this research is that our environment is, in part, shaped by the genes of the people around us. Initial research suggests that your partner’s genes influence your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do. A few students with a genetic trend for smoking in a high school seemed to cause smoking rates to skyrocket across the entire grade — even among students who have no direct contact with these students — like a gene-driven wildfire spreading through social networks. Genes alone aren’t enough to determine these outcomes and neither is environment. Nature and nurture both shape each other, with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and nurture influencing the way our nature expresses itself. The more opportunities and information the environment provides — the more varied environments become — the bigger the role that genetic variation plays in distinguishing us into different groups. Nature and nurture aren’t separate forces — they’re a Möbius strip (莫比乌斯环), endlessly circling back on each other. This interdependence means their interaction is fluid and reciprocal, a core insight of sociogenomics that bridges genetic and social science. 32．Why did the author mention the “nature versus nurture” debate in paragraph 1? A．To emphasize the dominant role of family experiences. B．To introduce a long-standing core topic in human sciences. C．To highlight the weakness of early hereditarians’ arguments. D．To lay a contrastive foundation for a new scientific perspective. 33．What can be inferred from the example of students? A．Smoking behavior spreads mainly through direct persuasion. B．Genetic tendencies can indirectly change group behavior. C．School rules fail to control students’ genetic instincts. D．Only smokers’ friends adopt the same genetic risks. 34．What happens when environments become more diverse according to paragraph 3? A．People rely less on their genetic traits. B．Genetic differences play a smaller role. C．Genetic differences become more influential. D．Nurture becomes more important than nature. 35．What does the author mean by comparing nature and nurture to a “Möbius strip”? A．They depend entirely on physical conditions. B．They have a one-way influence on each other. C．They form a complex, continuous cycle of impact. D．They are two separate parts of human development. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章挑战了“先天与后天”对立的传统观点，提出社会基因组学的新视角，指出基因与环境不可分割，二者如同莫比乌斯环般不断地相互交织循环。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Fifteen decades ago, Francis Galton first came up with the term “nature versus nurture”, and this debate over the factors shaping human identity has long been a central topic in human sciences. Do our genes determine our life paths, as hereditarians (遗传论者) argue? Or are we born as empty paper, shaped merely by the experiences we have in our families and the wider world? Today, however, a new branch of science is ready to overturn the debate. (150年前，Francis Galton首次提出了“先天与后天”这一概念，关于塑造人类身份的各种因素的争论在人类科学领域一直是一个核心议题。我们的基因是否像遗传论者所说的那样决定了我们的人生道路？还是说我们生来就像一张白纸，只是由家庭和更广阔世界中的经历来塑造呢？然而，如今，一门新的科学分支即将彻底改变这场争论。)”可知，作者在第一段提到“先天与后天”的经典争论，引出这一长期存在的核心话题，进而用“然而”转折，为后文提出的新科学视角，即先天与后天不可分割，奠定对比基础。故选D项。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“A few students with a genetic trend for smoking in a high school seemed to cause smoking rates to skyrocket across the entire grade — even among students who have no direct contact with these students — like a gene-driven wildfire spreading through social networks. (高中里几名有吸烟遗传倾向的学生似乎导致整个年级的吸烟率飙升——甚至包括那些与这些学生没有直接接触的学生——就像基因驱动的野火通过社交网络蔓延。)”可知，在该例中，少数有吸烟遗传倾向的学生也能通过社交网络间接影响整个群体的行为，这表明基因倾向可以间接改变群体行为模式。故选B项。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The more opportunities and information the environment provides — the more varied environments become — the bigger the role that genetic variation plays in distinguishing us into different groups. (环境提供的机会和信息越多——环境越多样化——遗传变异在将我们区分成不同群体时所扮演的角色就越大。)”可知，当环境变得更加多样化时，遗传差异的作用会变得更加显著。故选C项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Nature and nurture aren’t separate forces — they’re a Möbius strip (莫比乌斯环), endlessly circling back on each other. This interdependence means their interaction is fluid and reciprocal (先天与后天并非相互独立的力量——它们就像一个莫比乌斯环，不断地相互交织循环。这种相互依存的关系意味着它们之间的相互作用是灵活且相互关联的)”可知，作者将先天与后天比作“莫比乌斯环”，意在说明它们形成了一个复杂且持续相互影响的循环。故选C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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understanding Risk Awareness Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. 36 For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts. 37 Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules. 38 In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property. Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. 39 Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. 40 Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health. A．Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes. B．In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day. C．This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources. D．People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk. E．Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks. F．Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations. G．Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking. 【答案】36．G 37．E 38．A 39．F 40．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文阐释风险认知这一心理现象，分析其受心理习惯、文化经济背景、媒体报道的影响，及理解它的公共与政策层面意义。 36．由上文“Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them.(人们常常错误地判断风险，要么夸大要么低估。)”和下文“For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts.(例如，从数据来看，坐飞机比开车更安全，可很多人却对坐飞机感到更多担忧。这种差异很大程度上源于思维研究领域的专家所称的可得性心理误区—— 这是一种心理捷径，那些容易被记起的事件（比如飞机相关事故）会借此主导我们的想法。)”可知，空格处需点明风险误判的原因，衔接前文的误判现象与后文的原因举例。G项“Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking.(这种误判往往源于我们用来简化思考的心理习惯。)”符合语境，“Such misjudgments”指代前文的“judge wrongly risks”，且与下文的“availability mental trick”相呼应，逻辑连贯。故选G项。 37．由下文“Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules.(一些社会推崇冒险和新想法，接受冒险行为，而另一些社会则将安全放在首位，行事谨慎。这些态度由历史经历、经济稳定性和社会规则塑造。)”可知，空格处需作为主题句，点明社会文化背景对人们风险观的影响。E项“Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks.(文化背景深刻影响着人们看待和应对风险的方式。)”符合语境，该句总领本段，“Cultural backgrounds”对应下文的“societies”和“historical experiences, societal rules”，精准概括本段主旨，逻辑清晰。故选E项。 38．由上文“These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules.(这些态度由历史经历、经济稳定性和社会规则塑造。)”和下文 “In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property.(在经济不公现象突出的国家，人们可能会更愿意冒险，因为他们拥有的资源和机会本就寥寥，也觉得自己没什么可失去的。与之相反，富裕社会的人们则可能会规避风险，以维持现有生活状况、保护自身财产。)”可知，空格处需承上启下，点明经济因素对风险态度的作用。A项“Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes.(经济状况也在塑造风险态度方面发挥着作用。)”符合语境，“also”承接前文的历史、社会等影响因素，“Economic conditions” 对应下文的经济不平等、富裕社会等内容，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 39．由上文“Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen.(此外，媒体报道极大地改变了人们对风险的认知。)”和下文“Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality.(关于罕见但极具破坏性事件的骇人报道，营造出扭曲的现实印象。)”可知，空格处需说明媒体报道的特点，解释其为何会扭曲风险认知。F项“Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations.(媒体往往关注戏剧性事件，忽视普通但安全的情况。)”符合语境，该句承接前文的媒体影响，“focus on dramatic events”对应下文的“Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events”，解释了媒体扭曲风险认知的原因，逻辑清晰。故选F项。 40．由上文“Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions.(公共宣传和教育通过提供平衡的信息来对抗这种现象，帮助人们做出明智的决定。)”和下文“Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health.(理解风险意识背后的心理机制，能让政策制定者为公共安全和健康制定更好的计划。)”可知，空格处需承接前文的“获取平衡信息”，点明其重要性，同时衔接后文的现实意义。C项“This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources.(这就是为什么从可靠来源获取信息至关重要。)”符合语境，“This”指代前文媒体扭曲风险认知、需通过平衡信息纠正的情况，“get information from reliable sources”呼应前文的“providing balanced information”，同时为后文的现实应用做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A poor Turkish fisherman, Yilmaz, heard a noise while pulling his net from a lake fourteen years ago.

In ancient times, doctors journeyed into remote mountains to gather wild herbs. Today, these herbs are not only grown on professional plantations but also are exported across the world because over time, more and more people 60 (witness) herbs selected carefully for their properties work well in relieving certain conditions. A single herb can work alone, or it can be mixed with others to make a 61 (tailor) prescription (药方) — a process that requires rich experience to ensure safety and 62 (efficient). Many herbs are frequently used in daily life: they 63 (boil) into tea to clear internal heat or added to soups to boost immunity (免疫力). There is 64 growing global interest in herbal medicine, as more people recognize its mild yet lasting benefits. Researchers in this field are now conducting studies to clarify its scientific principles, linking traditional wisdom with modern science. Hopefully, people will 65 (thorough) understand the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. 【答案】 56．originating 57．that 58．Unlike 59．although/though/while 60．have witnessed 61．tailored 62．efficiency 63．are boiled 64．a 65．thoroughly 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中药的理念、应用与发展及其全球价值。 56．考查非谓语动词。句意：传统中药，一项起源于5000多年前的历史悠久的疗法，是中国文化的重要组成部分。本空作后置定语修饰practice，practice与originate为主动关系，用现在分词originating。故填originating。 57．考查同位语从句。句意：它秉持着每种草药都有独特性能来平衡人体内部能量即气的观点。本空引导同位语从句，解释view的内容，从句不缺成分或含义，用that引导。故填that。 58．考查介词。句意：与通常直接针对症状的西医不同，中药旨在恢复人体自然平衡。表示“与……不同”，用介词unlike，句首单词，首字母大写。故填Unlike。 59．考查连词。句意：中药旨在从根源治愈疾病，尽管见效需要更长时间。前后句意存在转折让步关系，应用although/though/while“虽然”引导让步状语从句。故填though/although/while。 60．考查动词时态。句意：随着时间推移，越来越多的人已经见证精心挑选的草药在缓解某些病症方面效果良好。根据时间状语over time可知，本空表示过去发生并持续到现在的动作，用现在完成时，主语为more and more people，助动词用have，谓语用have witnessed。故填have witnessed。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：或者与其他草药混合制成量身定制的药方。本空作定语修饰prescription，且prescription与tailor为被动关系，应用过去分词tailored“量身定制的”。故填tailored。 62．考查名词。句意：这一过程需要丰富经验以确保安全和高效。本空与safety并列作宾语，用名词efficiency。故填efficiency。 63．考查被动语态。句意：它们被煮成茶以清除内热。boil与主语they（指代Many herbs）为被动关系，本句描述一般情况，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为they，be动词用are。故填are boiled。 64．考查冠词。句意：全球对草药的兴趣日益增长。本空表示泛指“一种日益增长的全球的兴趣”，growing以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。 65．考查副词。句意：人们有望彻底理解传统中医的智慧。本空修饰动词understand，用副词thoroughly，作状语。故填thoroughly。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．你校英文报正在举办题为“Science and Technology Change Life”的征文活动。请你写一 篇短文投稿，内容包括： (1)介绍一项科学技术； (2)说明其对你的影响。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Science and Technology Change Life ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Science and Technology Change Life The rise of smart home devices is a vivid example of how technology reshapes daily life.

Speaking in front of such a large audience had always been my biggest fear. Although the project, which focused on reducing plastic waste on campus, meant a lot to all of us, I was still worried that my nervousness would ruin everything. During the first practice session, I struggled to get through the speech. My voice shook, and I mispronounced several words. Worse still, I forgot some key points, which left me feeling both frustrated and embarrassed. Seeing my struggle, my best friend Lily volunteered to help. Every afternoon, she stayed with me after school, patiently listening to my rehearsals and giving suggestions. “Take it slow. You’re doing better each time,” she would say, encouraging me with her calm smile. Slowly, I began to feel more confident. A week before the event, our headteacher organized a full rehearsal in the auditorium. Standing on the huge stage made my stomach flip, and I felt as if the bright lights were burning my face. Halfway through the speech, I completely lost track of my lines and froze in panic. My heart was pounding, and I thought I would never continue. Just then, I noticed my classmates in the front row, smiling and mouthing, “You can do it!” Their warm support helped me regain focus, and I managed to finish the rehearsal, even if it wasn’t perfect. The night before the event, I lay in bed, filled with worries about everything that might go wrong. I imagined forgetting my lines, stumbling over words, or even tripping on the stage. The next morning, just before I stepped onto the stage, Lily quietly slipped a small note into my hand. It read simply, “We believe in you.” Her words made my heart race, but in a good way. I realized that I wasn’t alone — I had the support of my friends and classmates, and that gave me courage. 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。 As I stepped onto the stage, a wave of nervousness washed over me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finished, the auditorium erupted with applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As I stepped onto the stage, a wave of nervousness washed over me. Reminding myself of Lily’s note and my classmates’ support, I took a deep breath and began speaking about our project — how we organized campus clean-ups, encouraged students to use reusable bottles, and reduced plastic waste. As I spoke, I noticed the audience leaning forward, listening carefully. The teachers nodded, some smiling, and even younger students seemed inspired. With each sentence, my confidence grew, and the fear that had seemed so overwhelming began to melt away. When I finished, the auditorium erupted with applause. I looked at my classmates and Lily, and we all cheered together. Later, several students came up to me, saying they felt inspired by my speech and wanted to join our project. That moment taught me an important lesson: courage isn’t about never being afraid — it’s about taking action in spite of fear. From then on, I promised myself to face challenges boldly, knowing that support, determination, and a positive attitude could make even the impossible possible. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被班主任选中在学校年度活动中代表班级做项目展示，作者既感到荣幸又焦虑，因为当众演讲一直是作者最大的恐惧。尽管项目很重要，但作者仍担心紧张会搞砸一切。在朋友莉莉的帮助下，作者逐渐有了信心，在正式演讲时克服了恐惧，成功完成展示，并得到观众热烈掌声的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我走上舞台时，一阵紧张感席卷而来。”可知，第一段可描写作者走上舞台后的表现，以及克服恐惧完成演讲的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我讲完时，礼堂里爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写演讲结束后观众的反应，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：走上舞台——感到紧张——想起朋友和同学的支持——开始演讲——逐渐自信——完成演讲——观众鼓掌——感悟勇气 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②一起欢呼：cheer together/burst into cheers together ③勇敢地面对挑战：face challenges boldly/confront obstacles bravely 情绪类 ①仔细的：carefully/attentively ②受鼓舞的：inspired/motivated 【点睛】【高分句型1】Reminding myself of Lily’s note and my classmates’ support, I took a deep breath and began speaking about our project — how we organized campus clean-ups, encouraged students to use reusable bottles, and reduced plastic waste.（运用了现在分词短语作状语和how引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Later, several students came up to me, saying they felt inspired by my speech and wanted to join our project.（运用了现在分词短语作状语和省略了连接词that的宾语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 2026年高考第二次模拟考试 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把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。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What is the woman skilled at?

B If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spill outward like an unfolding story. We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats. The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) poaching statistics in the country. Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were. Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. 24．What did the author witness about the lions? A．Their playful race. B．Their staged show. C．Their fierce conflict. D．Their hunting attempt. 25．What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A key concept. B．A public image. C．An ignored idea. D．An active practice. 26．Which of the following best describes Damien? A．Calm and distant. B．Informed and passionate. C．Energetic and creative. D．Disciplined and ambitious. 27．What does the author think of the safari? A．It displayed racial harmony. B．It had a disappointing ending. C．It revealed why she loved nature. D．It satisfied what she could hope for. C Every year, monarch butterflies travel thousands of kilometers as they migrate from Canada to Mexico in the fall, just to head back north again in the spring. This is possible thanks to the natural structure of their wings, which makes them lightweight, flexible, and excellent at flying — a unique combination the researchers wanted to copy in their robots. Despite their small size, the natural design of monarch butterfly wings is very complex, evolving to stand extremely long journeys. One of the fundamental principles that make these wings so efficient during flight is that they don’t just create thrust (推力) by actively moving, but also by passively bending their natural shape, which allows them to ‘glide’ without spending additional energy. To achieve this, the research team, led by Oliver Gutfleisch at TU Darmstadt, built the robotic butterfly wings by putting magnetic particles (磁性粒子) into a flexible plastic material. “The wings are made from a magnetic composite material that responds to external magnetic fields,” said Kilian Schāfer, co-author of the study. “When a magnetic field is applied, the magnetic particles cause the wings to bend, copying the movement of real butterfly wings.” Using 3D printing, the researchers created 12 different wing designs with different sizes to test their behavior using a mix of experimental tests and computer simulations. Some of the designs also recreated vein (翅脉) patterns in their design that copied those found in monarch butterfly wings to test if these structures could improve their performance. What they found was that larger wings — about 28 mm long — with vein patterns were less rigid and easier to bend, making them better at adapting their shape during flight. In their tests, the scientists also found that butterflies that were 3D-printed using higher energy laser (激光) settings were thinner and better at bending. However, they were also more delicate and easily damaged. “The biggest challenge was creating thin, flexible structures with vein patterns that were still functional while being less than a millimeter thick,” said Schāfer. “Ensuring that these features were preserved required fine-tuning 3Dprinting process, particularly the laser energy settings, to achieve the desired mechanical properties.” 28．How did the researchers make the robotic wings fly? A．By applying external magnetic fields. B．By using the restorative force of the plastic. C．By filling them with air pressure. D．By attaching tiny mechanical motors. 29．What did the scientists find about the 3D-printed robotic wings? A．All wing designs showed identical flight behavior. B．Smaller wings kept robots’ energy requirement low. C．Larger wings with vein patterns performed the best. D．The vein patterns made wings rigid and worse for flight. 30．What is the message implied in the last paragraph? A．3D printing helped produce stronger robotic butterflies. B．Adjusting laser energy could make ideal robotic butterflies. C．Magnetic material made flying robots unable to function well. D．Higher energy settings ensured wings were more adaptable. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Monarch Butterfly Migration Is Simply Magical B．Butterflies Lead to Artificial Colors for 3D Printing C．Butterflies’ Movements Reveal Earth’s Magnetic Field D．Monarch Butterflies Have Inspired the Robotic Wings D Fifteen decades ago, Francis Galton first came up with the term “nature versus nurture”, and this debate over the factors shaping human identity has long been a central topic in human sciences. Do our genes determine our life paths, as hereditarians (遗传论者) argue? Or are we born as empty paper, shaped merely by the experiences we have in our families and the wider world? Today, however, a new branch of science is ready to overturn the debate. Through this new perspective, nature and nurture are hardly separable at all — genes and the environment do not act independently, but instead interact closely and even shape one another in tangible ways. Genes do not shape our identities merely on their own within our bodies; instead, they function partly by molding the environments we choose or create. A striking finding of this research is that our environment is, in part, shaped by the genes of the people around us. Initial research suggests that your partner’s genes influence your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do. A few students with a genetic trend for smoking in a high school seemed to cause smoking rates to skyrocket across the entire grade — even among students who have no direct contact with these students — like a gene-driven wildfire spreading through social networks. Genes alone aren’t enough to determine these outcomes and neither is environment. Nature and nurture both shape each other, with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and nurture influencing the way our nature expresses itself. The more opportunities and information the environment provides — the more varied environments become — the bigger the role that genetic variation plays in distinguishing us into different groups. Nature and nurture aren’t separate forces — they’re a Möbius strip (莫比乌斯环), endlessly circling back on each other. This interdependence means their interaction is fluid and reciprocal, a core insight of sociogenomics that bridges genetic and social science. 32．Why did the author mention the “nature versus nurture” debate in paragraph 1? A．To emphasize the dominant role of family experiences. B．To introduce a long-standing core topic in human sciences. C．To highlight the weakness of early hereditarians’ arguments. D．To lay a contrastive foundation for a new scientific perspective. 33．What can be inferred from the example of students? A．Smoking behavior spreads mainly through direct persuasion. B．Genetic tendencies can indirectly change group behavior. C．School rules fail to control students’ genetic instincts. D．Only smokers’ friends adopt the same genetic risks. 34．What happens when environments become more diverse according to paragraph 3? A．People rely less on their genetic traits. B．Genetic differences play a smaller role. C．Genetic differences become more influential. D．Nurture becomes more important than nature. 35．What does the author mean by comparing nature and nurture to a “Möbius strip”? A．They depend entirely on physical conditions. B．They have a one-way influence on each other. C．They form a complex, continuous cycle of impact. D．They are two separate parts of human development. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understanding Risk Awareness Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. 36 For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts. 37 Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules. 38 In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property. Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. 39 Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. 40 Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health. A．Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes. B．In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day. C．This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources. D．People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk. E．Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks. F．Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations. G．Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A poor Turkish fisherman, Yilmaz, heard a noise while pulling his net from a lake fourteen years ago. He turned and found a bird standing on the bow of his boat. Yilmaz 41 it as one of the white storks that had long summered in the village.

The unlikely tale of a man and a bird has 43 Turks during the years, spreading the pair’s story as a modern-day fable of cross-species 44 . The stork, nicknamed Yaren, not only returned to Yilmaz’s boat 45 the first year, according to Yilmaz, but 46 the next spring to the same village, the same nest and the same boat after migrating south for the winter. Not long ago, after Yaren appeared in the 47 for the 14th year in a row, the local news media joyfully 48 his arrival. The pair’s story has brought unexpected 49 although it has brought Yilmaz no serious fortune. They have co-starred in a children’s book and an award-winning 50 . Ali Ozkan, a mayor whose 51 includes the village, said in an interview, “It is a true story with the flavor of a tale.” The story has 52 groups of students and tourists to see the storks and take boat rides on 53 Lake Ulubat.

Based on the concept of “harmony between humans and nature”, it holds the view 57 each herb has its own unique property to balance the body’s inner energy, or qi. 58 Western medicine, which often targets symptoms directly, Chinese herbs aim to restore the body’s natural balance and cure illnesses from the root 59 they take more time to show effects. In ancient times, doctors journeyed into remote mountains to gather wild herbs. Today, these herbs are not only grown on professional plantations but also are exported across the world because over time, more and more people 60 (witness) herbs selected carefully for their properties work well in relieving certain conditions. A single herb can work alone, or it can be mixed with others to make a 61 (tailor) prescription (药方) — a process that requires rich experience to ensure safety and 62 (efficient). Many herbs are frequently used in daily life: they 63 (boil) into tea to clear internal heat or added to soups to boost immunity (免疫力). There is 64 growing global interest in herbal medicine, as more people recognize its mild yet lasting benefits. Researchers in this field are now conducting studies to clarify its scientific principles, linking traditional wisdom with modern science. Hopefully, people will 65 (thorough) understand the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．你校英文报正在举办题为“Science and Technology Change Life”的征文活动。请你写一 篇短文投稿，内容包括： (1)介绍一项科学技术； (2)说明其对你的影响。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Science and Technology Change Life ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67．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。 When I was chosen by my headteacher to present our class project at the annual school event on behalf of my class, I felt both honored and anxious. Speaking in front of such a large audience had always been my biggest fear. Although the project, which focused on reducing plastic waste on campus, meant a lot to all of us, I was still worried that my nervousness would ruin everything. During the first practice session, I struggled to get through the speech. My voice shook, and I mispronounced several words. Worse still, I forgot some key points, which left me feeling both frustrated and embarrassed. Seeing my struggle, my best friend Lily volunteered to help. Every afternoon, she stayed with me after school, patiently listening to my rehearsals and giving suggestions. “Take it slow. You’re doing better each time,” she would say, encouraging me with her calm smile. Slowly, I began to feel more confident. A week before the event, our headteacher organized a full rehearsal in the auditorium. Standing on the huge stage made my stomach flip, and I felt as if the bright lights were burning my face. Halfway through the speech, I completely lost track of my lines and froze in panic. My heart was pounding, and I thought I would never continue. Just then, I noticed my classmates in the front row, smiling and mouthing, “You can do it!” Their warm support helped me regain focus, and I managed to finish the rehearsal, even if it wasn’t perfect. The night before the event, I lay in bed, filled with worries about everything that might go wrong. I imagined forgetting my lines, stumbling over words, or even tripping on the stage. The next morning, just before I stepped onto the stage, Lily quietly slipped a small note into my hand. It read simply, “We believe in you.” Her words made my heart race, but in a good way. I realized that I wasn’t alone — I had the support of my friends and classmates, and that gave me courage. 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。 As I stepped onto the stage, a wave of nervousness washed over me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finished, the auditorium erupted with applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I'm thinking of starting my own business, selling digital posters.

I recently moved from italy to south korea to teach at an international high school in soul. Now, after six months of living here, i'm finally getting used to almost everything. But here are some of the things I found the most surprising when I first arrived here. Firstly, school is taken very seriously here. Even very Young kids attend several schools and after school activities and have a lot of homework. This leads to good grades and well behaved kids, but also puts a lot of pressure on Young people. Secondly, thEpace of life here is really fast. If you order food at a restaurant, IT can usually be on your table in minutes with good quality. If you need something fixed or your clothes cleaned, IT can usually be done within a few hours, which is amazing. Thirdly, the personal space rules are different. People stand closer together than I was used to, but they also tend to be a lot quieter in public care, which is nice. Finally, security cameras are everywhere, and people will happily leave their computers, phones and wallets on cafe tables. I still can't get used to that.
