Liu was manning the counter at the gas station in the Canadian town of Comox, Columbia. He’d owned the gas station and convenience store for nearly a decade. As he glanced out the window, he saw something he’d never seen before: A vehicle coming into the station seemed to lose control. And it was heading for the fuel pumps (泵).
Boom! The crash was followed by a deafening explosion as a pump and the vehicle erupted into flames. Liu was frightened. But he rushed out quickly. If the fire spread to the other pumps, the apartment building next to the gas station could be in danger. The first thing Liu did was shut off the pumps by cutting off their electrical supply. Then Liu went into rescue mode.
Since the fire was closer to the driver’s side, he entered the car through the passenger-side door. He instantly recognized the driver, who regularly stopped in for supplies, pet food, and a chat. He quickly grasped the frightened woman’s arm and dragged her out of the vehicle. They escaped with a few minor burns, but destruction to the gas station was total. It wasn’t the fire that concerned him so much. “I was scared of the explosion that might happen,” said Liu.
By the time firefighters arrived, the convenience store had been on fire. Firefighters remained on scene for more than 10 hours. Liu lost everything. Still, Liu held no anger for the driver. “I do not want to see that she cries or says sorry to me. I wish all the best to her,” he said.
Liu’s behavior impressed Jim Larviere, assistant fire chief of Comox Fire Rescue. “People react differently when they’re under stress like that, flight or fight,” he said. “Liu decided to fight.”
4. What did Liu do immediately after the crash?
A. He tried to put out the fire himself. B. He called the firefighters right away.
C. He turned off the power to the pumps. D. He ran to check the apartment building.
5. How does the driver relate to Liu?
A. A new neighbor. B. A total stranger. C. A frequent visitor. D. A family member.
6. Which words can best describe Liu?
A. Decisive and brave. B. Generous and modest. C. Fearless and ambitious. D. Polite and creative.

People’s noses get colder when they’re feeling stressed, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sussex, in England, looked at the temperature of people’s faces to see if it changed when they were nervous or under pressure.
Professor Gillian Forrester, who studies brains and behaviour at the University of Sussex, led the study. She recorded 29 people with a thermal imaging camera (热成像摄像机) to see what happened when they were stressed. First, the volunteers were exposed to white noise for five minutes. Then they had to perform two tasks in front of a silent group of strangers. They had to give an unplanned presentation and they had to do maths in their head and say their answers out loud.
From the results of the study, it was found that people’s nose temperature dropped by between 3℃ and 6℃ when they were under pressure. This is because the blood in their faces goes to their ears and eyes, which are important senses for detecting danger. The researchers were able to see the change in blood flow on the thermal imaging camera because places that were warmer had more blood. Once the stress was over, the blood in people’s faces returned to where it usually was within a few minutes. Forrester told the BBC that the length of time it takes someone’s nose to recover its temperature could be a measure of how well they manage their stress.
Humans aren’t the only ones who could benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes the blood flow in the faces of animals that are closely related to humans, such as chimpanzees, a kind of small ape (猿). Researchers hope that thermal imaging cameras could help them to look after rescued animals in ape reserves.
“They can’t say how they’re feeling and they can be quite good at masking how they’re feeling,” Marlane Paisley, who studies ape well-being at the University of Sussex, told the BBC. The temperature of an ape’s face could help people understand how they are feeling and how to make them feel better too.
8. What did the volunteers do during the experiment?
A. They gave a theme-specific presentation. B. They talked with a group of strangers.
C. They discussed maths problems aloud. D. They listened to white noise for a while.
9. What makes the nose temperature drop under pressure?
A. Less blood flows to the nose. B. People breathe more slowly.
C. The nose produces more sweat. D. The brain sends less oxygen to the face.
10. Why do researchers plan to use thermal imaging cameras on apes?
A. To check their body temperature. B. To examine their blood flow changes.
C. To help figure out their emotional states. D. To study how stress influences their behaviors.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Nervous apes need care. B. Noses become cold easily.
C. Noses reveal pressure levels. D. Stress cools humans’ bodies.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】

In tropical regions such as the Amazon and Panama, the populations of some birds have fallen by as much as 90 percent even in mostly untouched rainforests, and it seems that more intense heat extremes are the main factor behind the decline.
Between 1950 and 2020, the intensification of heat extremes led to a fall of between 25% and 38% in the population of land-dwelling (陆栖的) birds in the tropics, according to a study by Maximilian Kotz at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and his co-workers.
The team hasn’t yet used these results to extrapolate what will happen as the planet continues to heat up, but “maybe it’s not a goodlooking picture,” says Kotz.
Kotz and his co-workers started with data on land-dwelling bird populations around the world from the Living Planet Database. They then got data on habitat destruction from the Hyde Database of the Global Environment and historical weather and climate data from the European Centre for Mediumrange Weather Forecasts. They compared all the data to find connections that might explain the fall in bird population. In the mid-latitudes (中纬度) between 21° and 43° north or south, habitat destruction was the main factor, their findings suggest. “But in the tropics, heat extremes were the biggest factor. In these regions, birds are often living near the limits of their tolerance and will die if the temperature is beyond the limits,” says Kotz.
They also investigated the extent to which the intensification in heat extremes is due to human-caused global warming. This allowed them to estimate the decline in bird population that results from climate change.
“Studies like this have long been used to assess the link between extreme weather and climate change, but,” says Kotz, “as far as I know, this study is the first to use them to look at ecological impacts in this way.” He admits that the data on bird population is far from complete, especially in tropical regions. If anything, the shortage of such data would make us judge the impacts to be less severe than they actually are.
12. What does the underlined word “extrapolate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Choose. B. Forecast. C. Stimulate. D. Witness
13. What mainly leads to the decline in bird population in mid-latitudes?
A. Intense heat. B. Habitat loss. C. Lack of food sources. D. Human-caused pollution.
14. What can we infer from Kotz’s statement in the last paragraph?
A. The effects are underrated due to data gaps. B. Tropical bird decline was less than recorded.
C. The study is the first to focus on extreme weather. D. Climate change has limited impacts on tropical birds.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Birds Disappear with Rainforest Loss B. Scientists Use Databases in Wildlife Tracking
C. Habitat Destruction Threatens Birds Severely D. Extreme Heat Is Driving Decline in Tropical Birds
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于极端高温天气,导致鸟类的数量的急剧减少的现象。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The team hasn’t yet used these results to(该团队尚未将这些结果加以利用)”及后文“what will happen as the planet continues to heat up(随着地球温度持续升高,将会发生什么情况)”可知,团队尚未将这些结果加以利用来“预测”全球变暖带来的后果,forecast与划线词意思相符。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In the mid-latitudes (中纬度) between 21° and 43° north or south, habitat destruction was the main factor, their findings suggest.(他们的研究结果表明,在北纬21°至43°或南纬21°至43°的中纬度地区,栖息地破坏是主要因素)”可知,导致中纬度地区鸟类数量减少的主要原因是栖息地减少。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He admits that the data on bird population is far from complete, especially in tropical regions. If anything, the shortage of such data would make us judge the impacts to be less severe than they actually are.(他承认,有关鸟类数量的数据远未完善,尤其是在热带地区。相反,数据的缺失反而会使我们低估这些影响的程度,认为其严重性远低于实际情况)”可推知,由于数据缺失,这些影响被低估了。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In tropical regions such as the Amazon and Panama, the populations of some birds have fallen by as much as 90 percent even in mostly untouched rainforests, and it seems that more intense heat extremes are the main factor behind the decline.(在热带地区,如亚马逊和巴拿马,一些鸟类的数量已经减少了多达 90%。即便是在基本未受破坏的热带雨林中也是如此。而似乎更强烈的极端高温是导致这种数量下降的主要因素)”可知,本文介绍了由于极端高温天气,导致鸟类的数量的急剧减少的现象。由此可知,D选项“极端高温导致热带鸟类数量减少”适合作本文标题。故选D。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:陆谷孙是中国最杰出、最受爱戴的教育家之一,他的人生和事业在中国学术界留下了深刻的印记。分析句子结构,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Lu Gusun(指人),从句中life and work与先行词构成所属关系,所以用关系代词whose引导定语从句,在从句中作定语。故填whose。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:他曾担任上海市长咨询委员会的口译员,并为2010年世博会精心创作了“城市,让生活更美好”的英文版本。空前为不定冠词an,后接可数名词单数;interpret是动词,意为“口译”,其对应的表示职业的名词为interpreter,意为“口译员”。故填interpreter。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:陆谷孙出生于浙江余姚,17岁考入复旦大学攻读英语专业,此后整个学术生涯都在复旦大学度过。分析句子结构,句中已有谓语动词spent,空处无连词,需用非谓语动词形式;逻辑主语Lu与begin之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填beginning。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:陆谷孙于2014年退休,两年后与世长辞。作谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2014可知,句子描述过去发生的动作,需用一般过去时;retire的过去式为retired。故填retired。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为纪念陆谷孙教授诞辰85周年,一场展出其手稿的展览于12月18日在邯郸校区和江湾校区举办。分析句子逻辑,空处表示举办展览的目的,意为“为了纪念”,需用动词不定式作目的状语,句首单词首字母需大写。故填To mark。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:为纪念陆谷孙教授诞辰85周年,一场展出其手稿的展览于12月18日在邯郸校区和江湾校区举办。作谓语动词,根据时间状语on December 18可知,句子用一般过去时;主语an exhibition与hold之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,be动词用was。故填was held。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:展览展出了他的学术草稿、词典笔记和手写试卷,所有这些都体现了陆谷孙对教学和词典编纂事业的深厚奉献。此处考查固定搭配dedication to sth.,意为“对某事的奉献”。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查表语从句连接词。句意:这正是陆谷孙教授一生倡导并践行的理念。分析句子结构,空处引导表语从句,从句中advocated and practiced缺少宾语,指代事物,意为“……的理念/事情”,所以用连接代词what引导表语从句。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:他坚信知识应该报效祖国。空处修饰动词believed,firm的副词形式firmly“坚定地”符合题意。故填firmly。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:透过他的手稿,我们得以窥见他非凡的一生。空处修饰名词life,需用形容词形式;remark的形容词形式为remarkable“非凡的;卓越的;引人注目的”符合题意。故填remarkable。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Please don’t leave. I really don’t want to be here,” I said as my mother helped me unpack in the boys’ cottage. “This place is a waste of my summer.”
This waste of time was Greenwood Music Camp, a two-week session deep into the woods — with no Internet, no comfort, just crowds of mosquitoes. To me, it was a pure disaster. My mother had been convinced by the camp organizer, Lisa, who praised Greenwood as “a transformative musical journey” and “a place where passion meets discipline”. Lisa’s brochures promised growth, friendship, and artistic breakthroughs, none of which appealed to me.
I didn’t even like playing the violin. It was all my mom’s dream of a “music career” for me, and she’d pushed me cruelly into lessons and practice I hated.
My resistance to this camp had started weeks earlier, the very moment Mom first casually mentioned it at the dinner table. I just shrugged it off and dismissed it as one of her usual far-fetched plans that would never actually happen. A week before leaving our home, panic hit: I begged (请求) for alternatives, offering to attend a drawing camp, and even volunteering to walk an hour each day. But her firmness never broke. On the morning of departure, I praised for accidents — a closed road, a heavy rain — to save me. During the car ride, I staged childish delays. Yet my mother remained silent and unstoppable.
When my mother had survived all my attacks, I realized she had won. I finally gave up, allowing her to shut the car door with me not inside. With tears in my eyes, I turned toward the camp, ready to put up with what I believed would be pure unhappiness. Alone in the cottage, I spotted my violin in the bag. In frustration, I played a tune I’d only half-learned months before. The music mirrored my sorrow, filling the empty room.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was just at that moment that Lisa came in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gradually, I started to enjoy staying in the camp.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
It was just at that moment that Lisa came in. Instead of blaming me, she listened gently as I poured out my hate for the violin and my anger at being forced here. She smiled and told me music was never meant to be a burden, but a way to express feelings. She encouraged me to play just for myself, not for exams or others’ expectations. I was touched by her kindness. That afternoon, I picked up my violin again, playing without pressure for the first time.
Gradually, I started to enjoy staying in the camp. I made friends who loved music as much as Lisa did. We played together in the woods, practiced in small groups, and shared beautiful melodies. Mosquitoes no longer bothered me, and the quiet woods felt lovely. I finally understood what a “transformative musical journey” meant. By the end of the camp, I didn’t want to leave. I had found my true love for the violin and discovered a whole new, happy self.

Lots of European castles are spread across the land, and each one has a story in its stones, wood and tales. These aren’t just ruins of the past; they’re full-blown time machines, and they sit proudly in cities, on hillsides, and by rivers waiting for curious visitors.
Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland

Liu was manning the counter at the gas station in the Canadian town of Comox, Columbia. He’d owned the gas station and convenience store for nearly a decade. As he glanced out the window, he saw something he’d never seen before: A vehicle coming into the station seemed to lose control. And it was heading for the fuel pumps (泵).
Boom! The crash was followed by a deafening explosion as a pump and the vehicle erupted into flames. Liu was frightened. But he rushed out quickly. If the fire spread to the other pumps, the apartment building next to the gas station could be in danger. The first thing Liu did was shut off the pumps by cutting off their electrical supply. Then Liu went into rescue mode.
Since the fire was closer to the driver’s side, he entered the car through the passenger-side door. He instantly recognized the driver, who regularly stopped in for supplies, pet food, and a chat. He quickly grasped the frightened woman’s arm and dragged her out of the vehicle. They escaped with a few minor burns, but destruction to the gas station was total. It wasn’t the fire that concerned him so much. “I was scared of the explosion that might happen,” said Liu.
By the time firefighters arrived, the convenience store had been on fire. Firefighters remained on scene for more than 10 hours. Liu lost everything. Still, Liu held no anger for the driver. “I do not want to see that she cries or says sorry to me. I wish all the best to her,” he said.
Liu’s behavior impressed Jim Larviere, assistant fire chief of Comox Fire Rescue. “People react differently when they’re under stress like that, flight or fight,” he said. “Liu decided to fight.”
4. What did Liu do immediately after the crash?
A. He tried to put out the fire himself. B. He called the firefighters right away.
C. He turned off the power to the pumps. D. He ran to check the apartment building.
5. How does the driver relate to Liu?
A. A new neighbor. B. A total stranger. C. A frequent visitor. D. A family member.
6. Which words can best describe Liu?
A. Decisive and brave. B. Generous and modest. C. Fearless and ambitious. D. Polite and creative.
7. What is Jim’s attitude to Liu’s behavior?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Appreciative.
C
People’s noses get colder when they’re feeling stressed, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sussex, in England, looked at the temperature of people’s faces to see if it changed when they were nervous or under pressure.
Professor Gillian Forrester, who studies brains and behaviour at the University of Sussex, led the study. She recorded 29 people with a thermal imaging camera (热成像摄像机) to see what happened when they were stressed. First, the volunteers were exposed to white noise for five minutes. Then they had to perform two tasks in front of a silent group of strangers. They had to give an unplanned presentation and they had to do maths in their head and say their answers out loud.
From the results of the study, it was found that people’s nose temperature dropped by between 3℃ and 6℃ when they were under pressure. This is because the blood in their faces goes to their ears and eyes, which are important senses for detecting danger. The researchers were able to see the change in blood flow on the thermal imaging camera because places that were warmer had more blood. Once the stress was over, the blood in people’s faces returned to where it usually was within a few minutes. Forrester told the BBC that the length of time it takes someone’s nose to recover its temperature could be a measure of how well they manage their stress.
Humans aren’t the only ones who could benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes the blood flow in the faces of animals that are closely related to humans, such as chimpanzees, a kind of small ape (猿). Researchers hope that thermal imaging cameras could help them to look after rescued animals in ape reserves.
“They can’t say how they’re feeling and they can be quite good at masking how they’re feeling,” Marlane Paisley, who studies ape well-being at the University of Sussex, told the BBC. The temperature of an ape’s face could help people understand how they are feeling and how to make them feel better too.
8. What did the volunteers do during the experiment?
A. They gave a theme-specific presentation. B. They talked with a group of strangers.
C. They discussed maths problems aloud. D. They listened to white noise for a while.
9. What makes the nose temperature drop under pressure?
A. Less blood flows to the nose. B. People breathe more slowly.
C. The nose produces more sweat. D. The brain sends less oxygen to the face.
10. Why do researchers plan to use thermal imaging cameras on apes?
A. To check their body temperature. B. To examine their blood flow changes.
C. To help figure out their emotional states. D. To study how stress influences their behaviors.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Nervous apes need care. B. Noses become cold easily.
C. Noses reveal pressure levels. D. Stress cools humans’ bodies.
D
In tropical regions such as the Amazon and Panama, the populations of some birds have fallen by as much as 90 percent even in mostly untouched rainforests, and it seems that more intense heat extremes are the main factor behind the decline.
Between 1950 and 2020, the intensification of heat extremes led to a fall of between 25% and 38% in the population of land-dwelling (陆栖的) birds in the tropics, according to a study by Maximilian Kotz at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and his co-workers.
The team hasn’t yet used these results to extrapolate what will happen as the planet continues to heat up, but “maybe it’s not a goodlooking picture,” says Kotz.
Kotz and his co-workers started with data on land-dwelling bird populations around the world from the Living Planet Database. They then got data on habitat destruction from the Hyde Database of the Global Environment and historical weather and climate data from the European Centre for Mediumrange Weather Forecasts. They compared all the data to find connections that might explain the fall in bird population. In the mid-latitudes (中纬度) between 21° and 43° north or south, habitat destruction was the main factor, their findings suggest. “But in the tropics, heat extremes were the biggest factor. In these regions, birds are often living near the limits of their tolerance and will die if the temperature is beyond the limits,” says Kotz.
They also investigated the extent to which the intensification in heat extremes is due to human-caused global warming. This allowed them to estimate the decline in bird population that results from climate change.
“Studies like this have long been used to assess the link between extreme weather and climate change, but,” says Kotz, “as far as I know, this study is the first to use them to look at ecological impacts in this way.” He admits that the data on bird population is far from complete, especially in tropical regions. If anything, the shortage of such data would make us judge the impacts to be less severe than they actually are.
12. What does the underlined word “extrapolate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

Does the thought of public speaking make you nervous? Would you rather get caught in a storm than give a speech? ____16____ There are two main elements that make up a good oral (口头的) report — the writing and the presentation. Follow the guidelines below, and there will be clear skies ahead.
Writing Your Material
Try to keep your sentences short and simple. To be most effective, hit your key points in the introduction, explain them in the body, and then repeat them once again in your conclusion. “Introduction” is your chance to engage your audience and really capture their interest in the subject you are presenting. ____17____ “Body” is the longest part of your report. Here you explain the facts and ideas you want to convey. Give information that supports your main idea, and expand on it with specific examples or details. “Conclusion” is the time to summarize the information and emphasize your most important points to the audience one last time.
Preparing Your Delivery
• ____18____ Confidence, enthusiasm, and energy are key to delivering an effective oral report, and they can best be achieved through tryouts. Ask family and friends to be your practice audience and give you their opinion when you’re done. The more times you practice, the more you’ll master the material.
•Present it with everything you’ve got. Be as creative as you can. Include videos, sound clips, slide presentations, charts, diagrams and photos. Visual aids help stimulate your audience’s senses and keep them interested and engaged. ____19____
•Keep your nerves under control. ____20____ That’s normal. Preparation is the key. And if you make a mistake or struggle on your words, just regroup and keep going. Nobody’s perfect, and nobody expects you to be.
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Confidence is significant.
C. They can also help to enhance your key points.
D. Giving an oral report does not have to be a natural disaster.
E. Everyone gets a little nervous when speaking in front of a group.
F. You don’t want to convey too much information to your audience.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Please don’t leave. I really don’t want to be here,” I said as my mother helped me unpack in the boys’ cottage. “This place is a waste of my summer.”
This waste of time was Greenwood Music Camp, a two-week session deep into the woods — with no Internet, no comfort, just crowds of mosquitoes. To me, it was a pure disaster. My mother had been convinced by the camp organizer, Lisa, who praised Greenwood as “a transformative musical journey” and “a place where passion meets discipline”. Lisa’s brochures promised growth, friendship, and artistic breakthroughs, none of which appealed to me.
I didn’t even like playing the violin. It was all my mom’s dream of a “music career” for me, and she’d pushed me cruelly into lessons and practice I hated.
My resistance to this camp had started weeks earlier, the very moment Mom first casually mentioned it at the dinner table. I just shrugged it off and dismissed it as one of her usual far-fetched plans that would never actually happen. A week before leaving our home, panic hit: I begged (请求) for alternatives, offering to attend a drawing camp, and even volunteering to walk an hour each day. But her firmness never broke. On the morning of departure, I praised for accidents — a closed road, a heavy rain — to save me. During the car ride, I staged childish delays. Yet my mother remained silent and unstoppable.
When my mother had survived all my attacks, I realized she had won. I finally gave up, allowing her to shut the car door with me not inside. With tears in my eyes, I turned toward the camp, ready to put up with what I believed would be pure unhappiness. Alone in the cottage, I spotted my violin in the bag. In frustration, I played a tune I’d only half-learned months before. The music mirrored my sorrow, filling the empty room.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was just at that moment that Lisa came in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gradually, I started to enjoy staying in the camp.
