It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you. A Puzzle The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations: Brazil Peru Uruguay Q: What is the English name of this country “”? The Solution ●The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match. ●The repeated U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right. ●“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: →R, →A, →G, →E. ●With these letters, the pattern can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A, ” which is “Argentina. ” Contest Rules ● Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins. ● The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less. ● Unless instructed, giving multiple answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score.

B Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. “The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.” However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music. Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the documentary. Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.” After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.” 4. What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan? A. Old instruments. B. Declining number of students. C. Low profitability. D. Shortage of skilled technicians. 5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The career achievements of Bagmanyan. B. The popularity of the documentary. C. The unique history of the school district. D. The importance of the repair shop. 6. How does the documentary impact the shop? A. It enhances the shop’s public image. B. It attracts new business opportunities. C. It helps sustain the shop’s operation. D. It provides education to the community. 7. What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean? A. He is ready to retire. B. He feels deeply satisfied. C. He is tired of the spotlight. D. He has become very wealthy. C Earthworms (蚯蚓) are well-known for their ability to enrich and improve soil. Yet, their precise impact on plant growth has remained a mystery. Now, two groundbreaking studies have found that they not only boost crop yields (产量) but also protect plants from harmful microplastics. In late 2023, a research team from Colorado State University (CSU) reported that earthworms are responsible for 6.5 percent - or 140 million tons - of global food production annually. This is comparable to Russia’s annual grain harvest, which is the world’s fourth largest. CSU’s Steven Fonte and his team drew this conclusion after a comprehensive study. They surveyed earthworm populations, soil qualities, and crop yields from around the world. The researchers focused on four grains - rice, maize, wheat, and barley. The team found that the earthworms’ impact was significant in developing countries. For example, they helped increase grain yields by 10 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and 8 percent in Latin America. Fonte and his team believe farmers in these regions likely lack easy access to chemical fertilizers (化肥). This makes them more reliant on earthworm-rich organic matter, such as manure. “Earthworms are contributing a lot in these areas where we have fewer chemical inputs,” Fonte said. “If we manage our soils in a more sustainable way, we can better make use of this biodiversity and produce more sustainable agroecosystems.” Earthworms help plant growth in several ways. Their burrowing creates channels that loosen the soil and let in fresh air. This allows water to run down from the surface and be stored underground. The earthworms’ constant movement helps mix the soil’s organic matter, making the nutrients more available to plants. In a 2024 study, scientists at Nankai University found that earthworms can also protect plants from microplastic pollution. The researchers tested this by placing tomato plants in soil polluted by tiny plastics. They found that when earthworms were present, the plants grew well despite the pollution. They were also able to drive away common plant-eating insects. The scientists believe that earthworms help boost the tomato plants’ immune systems. This makes them better withstand environmental changes. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The methods used in the study. B. The impact of microplastics on crops. C. The types of grains studied in the research. D. Earthworms’ contribution to global food output. 9. What is one benefit of managing soil with earthworms? A. Greater crop diversity. B. More sustainable farming. C. Richer organic matter. D. Enough chemical fertilizer supply. 10. What does the underlined word “burrowing” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Transporting. B. Resting. C. Growing. D. Digging. 11. What did the Nankai University study find about earthworms? A. They killed insects harmful to plants. B. They helped carry away microplastics. C. They protected plants from environmental stress. D. They grew well in spite of environmental pollution. D The debate over birth order and personality traits (特性) has been ongoing for over a century. After decades of contested claims, a handful of recent studies found there was little evidence for meaningful differences. But in a study published last week, psychologists have pushed back and claim there is an effect after all. In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order, family size and personality, Canadian researchers gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average, middle children scored higher than their siblings (兄弟姐妹) on traits seen as important for cooperation. Scores for the same traits were also higher in families with more children, suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are raised as part of a bigger group. Michael Ashton, first author of the study, noted that individuals with more siblings were more likely to develop cooperative personalities. “A commonsense possibility is that when one has more siblings, one must more frequently cooperate rather than act on selfish preferences. This ongoing situation might then promote the development of cooperative tendencies generally”. Researchers have guessed about the impact of birth order for more than a century. In 1874, the polymath Francis Galton, the youngest of nine siblings, gathered histories on a group of English scientists and found a large proportion were firstborns. He suspected the eldest received more attention from their parents, propelling them to greater intellectual heights. Decades later, the Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler claimed firstborns were often conscientious and responsible, while the youngest might become independent and creative as they looked for ways to stand out. This new research lends some credence to Adler’s view, showing that middle children may indeed be more cooperative due to the unique position they hold in the family dynamic. They are often required to balance the needs of both younger and older siblings, fostering skills like negotiation and compromise. 12. What’s the finding of the Canadian study? A. Siblings are born the same. B. Middle children shine in cooperation. C. Birth order has little impact on personality. D. A large family contributes to sibling harmony. 13. What are Michael Ashton’s words aimed at? A. Offering an explanation. B. Forecasting a global trend. C. Presenting a new argument. D. Defending his research finding. 14. What does paragraph 5 of the text mainly focus on? A. Applications of the research finding. B. Past theories the Canadian study builds on. C. Previous studies on the impact of birth order. D. Further explanations of the research methods. 15. What does the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph mean? A. Denial. B. Pardon. C. Confusion. D. Acceptance. 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。 Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____16____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement. “The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____17____ I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____18____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape. ____19____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise. Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____20____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration. A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place. B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only. C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time. D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation. E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance. F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty. G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden. 第二部分 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) 阅读下列短文，每题从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入看吧处的最佳选项。 Many years ago when I had a radio program, one of my listeners called me a “scavenger (拾荒者)”.

I understood this ___29___ last year, when I ____30____ something that happened everyday during the summer. At dusk, the sun ____31____ behind our home and for just a few minutes, the sun light ____32____ the trees. I took that picture with my phone. It made for a nice picture but much more than that.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Steve Bagmanyan和他的乐器维修店的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. (由于预算削减，技术人员的人数从60人减少到了仅11人，而他们却要负责维修洛杉矶公立学校超过50万名学生的乐器)”可知，由于预算削减，技术人员的人数从60人减少到只有11人，所以Bagmanyan面临的挑战是技术人员短缺。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. (在这部纪录片上映之前，几乎没人知道这家工坊的存在。这家自1959年就开始运营的工坊，被认为是全国同类工坊中仅存的一家。巴格马尼扬和他的团队为整个学区的学校提供免费乐器和维修服务，服务对象往往是来自低收入家庭的孩子。对于这些孩子中的许多人来说，公立学校是他们获得乐器的唯一途径，而富裕家庭则更容易负担得起乐器)”可知，本段主要讲述了维修工作室的重要性。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. (自这部影片上映以来，公众支持度急剧上升。人们纷纷捐款，用于资助更多的维修工作和加强洛杉矶学校的音乐课程)”可知，这部纪录片帮助维持了工作室的运营。故选C。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. (在服务了21年之后，Bagmanyan表示his cup is full，因为他知道孩子们可能会将这份对音乐的热爱延续一生)”可知，他知道孩子们可能会将这份对音乐的热爱延续一生，由此可知，Bagmanyan对此感到深深的满足，所以his cup is full意思是“已经心满意足”，与He feels deeply satisfied“他感到非常满意”意思相符。故选B。 C Earthworms (蚯蚓) are well-known for their ability to enrich and improve soil. Yet, their precise impact on plant growth has remained a mystery. Now, two groundbreaking studies have found that they not only boost crop yields (产量) but also protect plants from harmful microplastics. In late 2023, a research team from Colorado State University (CSU) reported that earthworms are responsible for 6.5 percent - or 140 million tons - of global food production annually. This is comparable to Russia’s annual grain harvest, which is the world’s fourth largest. CSU’s Steven Fonte and his team drew this conclusion after a comprehensive study. They surveyed earthworm populations, soil qualities, and crop yields from around the world. The researchers focused on four grains - rice, maize, wheat, and barley. The team found that the earthworms’ impact was significant in developing countries. For example, they helped increase grain yields by 10 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and 8 percent in Latin America. Fonte and his team believe farmers in these regions likely lack easy access to chemical fertilizers (化肥). This makes them more reliant on earthworm-rich organic matter, such as manure. “Earthworms are contributing a lot in these areas where we have fewer chemical inputs,” Fonte said. “If we manage our soils in a more sustainable way, we can better make use of this biodiversity and produce more sustainable agroecosystems.” Earthworms help plant growth in several ways.

More sustainable farming. C. Richer organic matter. D. Enough chemical fertilizer supply. 10. What does the underlined word “burrowing” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Transporting. B. Resting. C. Growing. D. Digging. 11. What did the Nankai University study find about earthworms? A. They killed insects harmful to plants. B. They helped carry away microplastics. C. They protected plants from environmental stress. D. They grew well in spite of environmental pollution. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这是一篇关于蚯蚓对农作物生长及环境保护作用的说明文。文章主要介绍了两项突破性研究，指出蚯蚓不仅有助于提高作物产量，还能保护植物免受有害微塑料的影响。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In late 2023, a research team from Colorado State University (CSU) reported that earthworms are responsible for 6.5 percent - or 140 million tons - of global food production annually. This is comparable to Russia’s annual grain harvest, which is the world’s fourth largest. (2023年底，科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）的一个研究小组报告称，蚯蚓每年占全球粮食产量的6.5%，即1.4亿吨。这与俄罗斯的粮食年产量相当，俄罗斯是世界第四大粮食生产国。)”可知，本段主要讲述蚯蚓对全球粮食产量的贡献。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“If we manage our soils in a more sustainable way, we can better make use of this biodiversity and produce more sustainable agroecosystems. (如果我们以更可持续的方式管理土壤，我们就能更好地利用这种生物多样性，产生更可持续的农业生态系统。)”可知，用蚯蚓管理土壤的一个好处是更可持续的农业。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“creates channels that loosen the soil and let in fresh air (开辟通道，使土壤松动，让新鲜空气进入)”可知，蚯蚓会挖洞，开辟通道，使土壤松动，让新鲜空气进入。故划线词意思是“挖洞”。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They found that when earthworms were present, the plants grew well despite the pollution. They were also able to drive away common plant-eating insects. The scientists believe that earthworms help boost the tomato plants’ immune systems. This makes them better withstand environmental changes. (他们发现，当蚯蚓存在时，尽管有污染，植物还是长得很好。它们还能赶走常见的食草昆虫。科学家们认为蚯蚓有助于增强番茄植株的免疫系统。这使它们能够更好地抵御环境变化。)”可知，南开大学的研究发现蚯蚓保护植物免受环境压力。故选C。 D The debate over birth order and personality traits (特性) has been ongoing for over a century. After decades of contested claims, a handful of recent studies found there was little evidence for meaningful differences. But in a study published last week, psychologists have pushed back and claim there is an effect after all. In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order, family size and personality, Canadian researchers gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average, middle children scored higher than their siblings (兄弟姐妹) on traits seen as important for cooperation. Scores for the same traits were also higher in families with more children, suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are raised as part of a bigger group. Michael Ashton, first author of the study, noted that individuals with more siblings were more likely to develop cooperative personalities. “A commonsense possibility is that when one has more siblings, one must more frequently cooperate rather than act on selfish preferences. This ongoing situation might then promote the development of cooperative tendencies generally”. Researchers have guessed about the impact of birth order for more than a century. In 1874, the polymath Francis Galton, the youngest of nine siblings, gathered histories on a group of English scientists and found a large proportion were firstborns. He suspected the eldest received more attention from their parents, propelling them to greater intellectual heights. Decades later, the Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler claimed firstborns were often conscientious and responsible, while the youngest might become independent and creative as they looked for ways to stand out. This new research lends some credence to Adler’s view, showing that middle children may indeed be more cooperative due to the unique position they hold in the family dynamic. They are often required to balance the needs of both younger and older siblings, fostering skills like negotiation and compromise. 12. What’s the finding of the Canadian study? A. Siblings are born the same. B. Middle children shine in cooperation. C. Birth order has little impact on personality. D. A large family contributes to sibling harmony. 13. What are Michael Ashton’s words aimed at? A. Offering an explanation. B. Forecasting a global trend. C. Presenting a new argument. D. Defending his research finding. 14. What does paragraph 5 of the text mainly focus on? A. Applications of the research finding. B. Past theories the Canadian study builds on. C. Previous studies on the impact of birth order. D. Further explanations of the research methods. 15. What does the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph mean? A. Denial. B. Pardon. C. Confusion. D. Acceptance. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于出生顺序对性格影响的新研究及相关观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order, family size and personality, Canadian researchers gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average, middle children scored higher than their siblings (兄弟姐妹) on traits seen as important for cooperation.(在有史以来针对出生顺序、家庭规模和性格所开展的最大规模研究之一中，加拿大研究人员从 70 多万名志愿者那里收集了数据，并发现，平均而言，排行中间的孩子在对合作而言被视为重要的性格特质方面得分高于他们的兄弟姐妹)”可知，加拿大研究人员发现，平均而言，排行中间的孩子在对合作很重要的特质方面得分高于他们的兄弟姐妹，即中间的孩子在合作方面表现突出。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Michael Ashton, first author of the study, noted that individuals with more siblings were more likely to develop cooperative personalities. “A commonsense possibility is that when one has more siblings, one must more frequently cooperate rather than act on selfish preferences. This ongoing situation might then promote the development of cooperative tendencies generally”.(这项研究的第一作者迈克尔・阿什顿指出，兄弟姐妹较多的人更有可能培养出合作型的性格。“一个合乎常理的可能性是，当一个人的兄弟姐妹较多时，他就必须更频繁地进行合作，而不是按照自私的喜好行事。这种持续存在的情况可能进而会普遍促进合作倾向的发展。”)”可知，Michael Ashton 指出有更多兄弟姐妹的人更有可能发展出合作的个性，后面的话是对这一观点进行的一种解释，说明为什么有更多兄弟姐妹的人会更具合作性。所以他的话旨在给出一种解释。故选 A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的“Researchers have guessed about the impact of birth order for more than a century.(一个多世纪以来，研究人员一直都在猜测出生顺序所带来的影响)”以及后面提到的Francis Galton和Alfred Adler的研究可知，本段主要聚焦于过去关于出生顺序影响的研究。故选C。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“showing that middle children may indeed be more cooperative due to the unique position they hold in the family dynamic.(显示出由于中间子女在家庭动态中所处的独特地位，他们可能确实更具合作精神)”可知，新的研究表明中间的孩子确实可能因为他们在家庭动态中所处的独特位置而更具合作性，这说明新研究是支持Adler的观点的，所以 credence意思应该是“认可，接受”。故选D。 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。 Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____16____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement. “The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____17____ I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____18____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape. ____19____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise. Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____20____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration. A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place. B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only. C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time. D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation. E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance. F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty. G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要描述了克莱夫登花园的美丽以及花园带给作者的感悟。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away.(在一个阳光明媚的冬日，站在克莱夫登花园的一座小山上，深绿色的湖泊被百年古树环绕，这让我屏息凝神)”以及后文“It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.(它只是伦敦附近的一个当地公园，我在英国生活的八年里从未听说过它。当我欣赏这个宁静的花园时，它教会了我一个关于英国低调文化的教训)”可知，本句主要说明了上文提到的克莱夫登花园的情况，结合后文提到这是一个公园，故A选项“克莱夫登不是一个著名的度假胜地”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文““The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty.(“英国的风景更美，因为它的美是低调的，”后来我们参观泰特英国美术馆的一个展览时，我的朋友威尔对我说。他指着一幅描绘宁静乡村的画。“这是我成长的环境，”他说。与大瀑布或野生森林不同，这里的风景并不张扬它的美丽)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文说明朋友对英国风景的看法，故E选项“但我看得越多，就越能看到它宁静的优雅”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London.(我想知道中国游客是否会去伦敦以外的地方旅游)”以及后文“Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.(的确，牛津大学和剑桥大学以及深受人们喜爱的湖区国家公园都是英国的标志性象征。但如果他们错过了英国风景中鲜为人知的部分，那就太遗憾了)”可知，上文提到了中国游客是否回去伦敦以外的地方旅游的疑问，后文则提到了一些著名景点，可知本句是在说明中国游客的旅游特点，故D选项“他们更喜欢名声好的地方”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.(我记得有一次一个全A的同学告诉我，他“通过了考试”，另一个牛津的朋友介绍自己是“在农村学习”。这种谦虚在中国文化中也有反映。我记得我的父母告诉我要努力学习，但不要吹嘘自己的成就。中国文化中充满了“真金迟早会发光”这样的谚语，鼓励人们长期致力于自己选择的专业领域)”可知，本段的主旨是关于谦逊，且后文提到了牛津的朋友，说明本句是在说明英国人的谦虚。故F选项“这些年来，我已经熟悉了英国人的谦逊”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement.(经历了这两种文化，我意识到英语和汉语都用低调来表达成就)”以及后文“It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.(它反映了中英两国传统中不可言说的魅力。这是一个人迹罕至的景点，非常值得探索)”可知，作者经历了两种文化，且都强调了低调，可知本句承接上文说明文化对作者的影响，后文It指代Cliveden。故G选项“这种混合使我欣赏克利夫登不同寻常的美”符合语境，故选G。 第二部分 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) 阅读下列短文，每题从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入看吧处的最佳选项。 Many years ago when I had a radio program, one of my listeners called me a “scavenger (拾荒者)”.

My top recommendation is the Han Dynasty Bronze Wild Goose-and-Fish Lamp. This lamp is designed as a wild goose with a fish in its mouth. What’s special is how it works. When the lamp is lit, smoke rises through its neck and into its body, which is filled with water. There, the smoke is purified by the water, greatly reducing indoor air pollution. I find its design clever and eco-friendly. It truly reflects the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. I’m sure you’ll like it! Best regards, Li Hua 参考范文二 Dear Alex, Glad to hear you’re visiting the National Museum of China! I’d like to recommend a remarkable exhibit to you, which is the Bronze Wild Goose-and-Fish Lamp from the Han Dynasty. This lamp is shaped like a graceful wild goose looking back with a fish in its mouth. What makes it incredible is its function. When the oil burns, smoke travels through the goose’s neck into its water-filled body. Then the water captures some of the lamp’s pollutants, effectively purifying the air. This lamp is not just a light source, but a window into how the ancient Chinese combined art, science, and environmental awareness to create practical masterpieces. You’ll find it truly impressive. Enjoy your visit! Best regards, Li Hua 参考范文三 Dear Alex, Glad to hear that you’re visiting the National Museum of China! For an exhibit that I find truly fascinating, I’d recommend the Bronze Wild Goose-and-Fish Lamp from the Han Dynasty. This lamp takes the form of a wild goose, with its long neck curved gracefully backward and a fish held in its mouth. Beyond its stunning appearance, the lamp’s true brilliance lies in its clever design. When it is lit, the smoke produced is channeled through the goose’s neck into its body. The water stored inside absorbs some emissions, preventing them from being released into the air. What a remarkable eco-friendly design from 2, 000 years ago! This lamp perfectly combines artistic beauty with practical function, reflecting the incredible wisdom of the ancient Chinese. I believe you’ll be deeply impressed by it!

Megan Atherton and her roommate, Sarah, found themselves standing outside a small mechanic shop in Annapolis, Maryland, with a broken-down car and empty pockets. The two had just been driven out of their apartment and were desperate to find shelter in Megan’s hometown of Pittsburgh. They had hoped that their old, reliable car would get them there, but fate had other plans. As they stood discussing their next move, a kind voice interrupted their conversation. “Are you two in need of some help?” asked Toni Cranston, a woman with a warm smile and eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of ages. She had overheard their difficulty while waiting for her own car to be serviced. After listening to what Megan explained to her about their situation, Toni said, “I can take you to Pittsburgh. But I can’t leave my cat at home because she has diabetes (糖尿病) and needs her medication. You can stay at my house tonight, and we’ll leave first thing in the morning.” Megan and Sarah exchanged surprised looks but quickly accepted, Toni’s generous offer. They followed her to her home. Toni also prepared a hearty dinner. The next morning, as the sun began to rise, Toni packed a small bag for the cat and led Megan and Sarah to her car and sent them’ to their destination. Toni refused to accept any payment for her kindness, saying, “Sometimes, people just need a helping hand. Pass it forward when you can.” After that, Megan and Toni lost touch. But nearly 15 years later, Megan still thought about everything Toni had done for her. She couldn’t remember Toni’s last name, but when Toni’s niece heard Megan’s story of her unsung hero, she reached out to her aunt. “My niece kept saying there can’t be two Ton is in Ellicott City with a diabetic cat,” Toni said. Megan’s unsung hero had been found. 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。 Years after the two women first met, they finally got together in October this year. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before they parted, Megan handed Toni a small envelope. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Years after the two women first met, they finally got together in October this year. Their reunion was a heart-warming moment filled with hugs and happy tears. Megan recounted how she had always remembered Toni’s selfless act during that difficult time and shared how that experience had shaped her perspective on life, inspiring her to always be ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. They sat down and talked for hours, sharing all the joys and sorrows that had occurred in their lives over the past 15 years. It was clear that their encounter had left a deep mark on both of their lives. Before they parted, Megan handed Tonia small envelope. Toni was a bit surprised and tried to decline at first. But Megan gently pushed it into her hands. Inside the envelope was a beautifully written thank-you letter and a gift card.
