These amusement park rides combine engineering skill with basic physics to bring unforgettable experiences to visitors of all ages. TRON Lightcycle/Run Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida Get on a fast motorbike called a Lightcycle in this ride based on the 2010 sci-fi film TRON: Legacy. Racing in nearly dark surroundings, you will try to pass your opponents on your way to success. Traditional coasters get power from a chain that pulls a car up a slope at the start, building up potential, or stored, energy as it moves. When the coaster speeds down, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy — the energy of movement. Instead of chains, TRON Lightcycle/Run uses magnets to achieve this energy change. Placed in the ride’s track and under the Lightcycles, these magnets store potential energy before the ride starts. At launch, the magnets in the track push away those under the Lightcycles, changing potential energy into kinetic energy to drive the ride forward. Lightning Furuviksparken in Furuvik, Sweden Unlike most roller coasters, Lightning starts a second round after its first lap around the tracks, pushing riders forward with a new burst of speed. Its acceleration produces 2.8g-forces, about the same as an astronaut feels during a rocket launch. (A g-force is the force of gravity or acceleration on a body.) Lightning’s acceleration, or how quickly an object changes its speed, comes from a magnetic launch like the one powering TRON Lightcycle/Run. Pulling magnets above the track and under the coaster’s cars speed the ride from 0 to 43 miles an hour in just three seconds. After the first lap, the magnets accelerate the ride again for the second round. 1. How is TRON Lightcycle/Run powered? A. By chains. B. By tracks. C. By slopes. D. By magnets. 2. Which is a feature of Lightning’s launch? A. It takes three seconds. B. It works once only. C. It creates 1.8g-forces. D. It reaches 43 km/h. 3. What is the purpose of this text? A. To show the science behind two coasters. B. To compare the difference of two coasters. C. To encourage tourists to experience two coasters. D. To explain the process of building these two coasters. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两款过山车及其科学原理。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据TRON Lightcycle/Run部分中“Instead of chains, TRON Lightcycle/Run uses magnets to achieve this energy change.(TRON Lightcycle/Run不是使用链条，而是使用磁铁来实现这种能量转换。)”可知，TRON Lightcycle/Run是由磁铁提供动力的。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lightning部分中“Pulling magnets above the track and under the coaster’s cars speed the ride from 0 to 43 miles an hour in just three seconds.(轨道上方和过山车下方的磁铁在短短三秒钟内将过山车从0加速到每小时43英里。)”可知，Lightning的发射特点是它需要三秒钟。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Thrilling roller coasters around the world are not just about speed and excitement — they are also perfect examples of how scientific principles work in real life. These amusement park rides combine engineering skill with basic physics to bring unforgettable experiences to visitors of all ages.(世界各地惊险刺激的过山车不仅仅是速度和兴奋——它们也是科学原理在现实生活中如何运作的完美例子。这些游乐园游乐设施将工程技能与基础物理学相结合，为各个年龄段的游客带来难忘的体验。)”以及下文对TRON Lightcycle/Run和Lightning的介绍可知，本文的目的是展示两种过山车背后的科学原理。故选A。 B For a final class project, Sam’s task was to record a relationship using only digital traces. While peers documented friendships or romances, Sam knew his subject instantly: his father. A quiet civil engineer, his dad’s online world was limited — mostly industry articles and the occasional formal family photo. Their own chats were practical: “Running late.” “Dinner’s ready.” To Sam, his father’s digital self felt like a closed book in another language. The project turned Sam into a digital archaeologist. Scrolling through years of his own posts, he found few direct comments from his dad. But then he shifted focus, searching for echoes instead. He found them attached to his own life. A childhood photo of his first bike ride bore a comment: “Balance is a learned skill. Proud of your persistence.” A link Sam shared about a bridge in Norway prompted his dad to privately send three detailed engineering PDFs — a gesture Sam had acknowledged with just a thumbs-up. The deepest trace was a pattern. Every time Sam posted a milestone — a science fair win, a debate final — within a day, his father would share a dense technical article linked to the topic. It was never “congratulations.” It was his quiet language of care: “I see your world. Here’s a piece of mine to meet it.” For his project, Sam built a private website called “The Bridge.” On one side, he included his milestone posts. Beside each, he placed his father’s corresponding echo: that article, that PDF, that concise comment. Presenting his project, Sam concluded: “We think social media is for broadcasting. But for the quiet ones, it can be a tool for witnessing. My dad’s record wasn’t on his profile; it was hidden at the edges of mine. This project didn’t just teach me about media. It taught me to translate a silence. I’d mistaken for indifference. Sometimes, love isn’t in the post. It’s in the stubborn, quiet act of showing up, click after click, year after year, in the only language you know.” 4. How would Sam describe his father’s “digital self”? A. Simple and obvious. B. Active and social. C. Expressive and detailed. D. Reserved and understated. 5. When Sam posted about his life online, his father sent technical articles to _________. A. show his care and attention B. avoid leaving direct comment C. educate Sam on related topics D. inspire Sam to study engineering 6. According to the text, social media serves as _________. A. a form of the father’s silent involvement B. a platform for son’s emotional expression C. a display of Sam’s academic achievements D. a record of the father’s professional interests 7. What does this story intend to convey? A. A tree is known by its fruit. B. Love is written in deeds. C. A good beginning is half done. D. Never judge a book by its cover. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述萨姆通过课程项目挖掘父亲的数字痕迹，发现父亲沉默内敛却深沉的爱与陪伴。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A quiet civil engineer, his dad’s online world was limited — mostly industry articles and the occasional formal family photo. Their own chats were practical: “Running late.” “Dinner’s ready.” To Sam, his father’s digital self felt like a closed book in another language. (父亲是一位内敛的土木工程师，他的网络世界很有限——大多是行业文章和偶尔正式的家庭照片。他们的聊天内容都很实际：“要迟到了。”“晚饭好了。”在萨姆看来，父亲的数字形象就像一本用另一种语言写成的合着的书。)”以及后文父亲从不直接夸赞，只用技术文章默默回应可推知，Sam认为父亲的“数字形象”是含蓄、低调、不善言辞的。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It was never “congratulations.” It was his quiet language of care: “I see your world. Here’s a piece of mine to meet it.”(从来没有“恭喜你”。这是他沉默的关心语言：“我看到了你的世界。这是我的一部分，来与它相遇。”)”可知，父亲发送专业文章是为了表达关心与关注。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“But for the quiet ones, it can be a tool for witnessing. My dad’s record wasn’t on his profile; it was hidden at the edges of mine.(但对于沉默的人来说，它可以是一种见证的工具。我父亲的记录不在他的主页上，而是藏在我的动态边缘。)”可知，社交媒体成为父亲默默参与儿子生活的方式。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“Sometimes, love isn’t in the post. It’s in the stubborn, quiet act of showing up, click after click, year after year, in the only language you know.(有时候，爱并不在帖子里。它存在于一次次点击、年复一年、用你唯一懂得的方式默默出现的执着行动中。)”可知，故事意在表达爱是藏在行动中的。故选B项。 C Memory experts say that short, temporary instances of forgetfulness, often called “senior moments”, are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays. Many of us find it increasingly difficult to recall simple things; names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a while, common words that should come easily, or even how to carry out routine actions that once seemed like second nature. The massive amount of information flooding in from various digital channels is occupying our brains. We are constantly scrolling our phones while doing other things, which neuroscientists say makes it extremely hard to encode memories in the first place. As Sara C. Mednick, a neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, explains, our brains are like computers with too many tabs open at the same time. This slows down our processing power, and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result. Lasting and accumulated stress also has a significant impact on memory. Recent life stressors have been found to impair people’s memory, as stress negatively affects attention span and sleep, both of which are closely linked to memory performance. Worse still, long-term stress can damage the brain and cause more lasting memory problems. Although memory declines with age, medical science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts. Some studies show that memory ability peaks in people’s 20s and declines gradually from then on, while others suggest the sharpest drop begins around age 60, since people age cognitively at different rates. To boost memory, experts offer several practical suggestions. Forcing yourself to remember something is counterproductive because frustration will prevent your brain from restoring information effectively. Instead, you should calm down and try again later. Quitting multitasking and focusing on one task at a time helps reduce information overload. Daily meditation, slow deep breathing, walking in nature and enough sleep can strengthen your brain and improve memory function. Being fully present in conversations and giving others your full attention also helps you remember information more clearly. 8. Which of the following is “a senior moment”? A. Failing to remember new information temporarily. B. Refusing to recall unpleasant experiences on purpose. C. Losing the ability to perform daily activities completely. D. Forgetting the title of a book you read every day suddenly. 9. What is mainly responsible for memory problems according to Sara C. Mednick? A. Too much information. B. Multiple tasks in a period. C. The overuse of our brain. D. Heavy dependence on computers. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Stress does no good to memory. B. Aging relates closely to memory problems. C. Stress significantly reduces cognitive ability. D. Memory declines steadily after one’s twenties. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Brain Health: Challenges and Values B. Memory Decline: Factors and Symptoms C. Memory Loss: Causes and Solutions D. Senior Moments: Reasons and Consequences 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了记忆力衰退的原因以及提高记忆力的方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Memory experts say that short, temporary instances of forgetfulness, often called “senior moments”, are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays. Many of us find it increasingly difficult to recall simple things; names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a while, common words that should come easily, or even how to carry out routine actions that once seemed like second nature.(记忆专家表示，如今越来越多的人会出现短暂的、暂时性的健忘现象，这种现象常被称为“老年瞬间”。我们很多人发现自己越来越难以回忆起一些简单的事情，比如许久未见的朋友或同事的名字、那些本应容易记住的常用词汇，甚至是一些原本似乎已经司空见惯的日常行为的步骤)”可知，突然忘记日常熟悉的事物属于“老年瞬间”，突然忘记了你每天读的一本书的标题属于此类。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As Sara C. Mednick, a neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, explains, our brains are like computers with too many tabs open at the same time. This slows down our processing power, and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result.(正如加州大学欧文分校的神经科学家、认知科学教授Sara C. Mednick所解释的，我们的大脑就像同时打开了太多标签页的电脑。这会降低我们的信息处理能力，而记忆力也因此成为受损最严重的领域之一)”可知，Sara C. Mednick认为大脑被过度使用导致记忆问题。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although memory declines with age, medical science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts. Some studies show that memory ability peaks in people’s 20s and declines gradually from then on, while others suggest the sharpest drop begins around age 60, since people age cognitively at different rates.(虽然记忆力会随着年龄的增长而下降，但医学科学还没有就记忆力下降的确切时间得出明确的结论。一些研究表明，人们的记忆力在20多岁时达到顶峰，然后逐渐下降，而另一些研究则表明，记忆力下降最明显的开始时间是在60岁左右，因为人们的认知衰老速度不同)”可推知，衰老与记忆问题密切相关。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章首先介绍了记忆力衰退的现象（“老年瞬间”），然后分析了导致记忆力衰退的原因，如信息过载、压力过大等，最后提出了提高记忆力的方法。因此，“Memory Loss: Causes and Solutions(记忆力衰退：原因及解决方法)”适合作本文标题。故选C。 D Initial data for 2025 show a significant drop in the number of reported measles (麻疹) cases across EU/EEA countries compared with 2024, but the figures are still twice as high as those reported in 2023. As measles infections typically peak during late winter and early spring, now is the critical time for everyone to check their measles vaccination (接种) status. ECDC’s December 2025 report notes that 30 countries reported 7,655 cases and 8 deaths in 2025 — four in France, three in Romania, one in the Netherlands — far fewer than 2024’s over 35,000 cases but almost double 2023’s number. Measles is a highly infectious disease that spreads easily through the air. so mass immunity (免疫) is the key to stopping its person-to-person transmission. To prevent measles outbreaks and protect defenseless groups — young children too young to be vaccinated and those unable to get vaccines due to medical reasons — at least 95% of the eligible population should get two doses of the measles-containing vaccine as recommended. Unfortunately, 8 in 10 people who had measles in 2025 were unvaccinated, the same as in 2024. Sabrina Baccl, Head of ECDC’s vaccine-preventable diseases programme, says measles cases remain worrying despite a sharp drop over the past year. She stresses Europe should lead the world in reducing measles, which would be possible if we work together, as it has effective and safe vaccines, sufficient knowledge, resources and effective monitoring tools to control this preventable disease. Vaccination, she adds, is both self-protection and solidarity, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated by reducing the spread of infections Unvaccinated infants are particularly vulnerable to measles, as reflected in 2025’s data: children under five made up 40% of the informed*measles cases that year. Measles affects all age groups, and among adults and adolescents with known vaccination status, most had not received any doses and thus fell ill, so they should check their immunization status. Notably, most 2025cases came from local community transmission. ECDC advises checking vaccination status — especially before travel — and consulting healthcare professionals if unsure, as measles can cause severe complications or even death. 12. What do we know about measles cases in 2025 from the passage? A. They resulted in 8 deaths in total, almost in France. B. They peaked in December according to ECDC’s report. C. They were reported in 30 EU/EEA countries within a year. D. They were fewer than those in 2023 but more than in 2024. 13. What does the underlined word “eligible” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Likely to be infected. B. Qualified to get vaccinated. C Unable to receive treatment. D. Responsible for disease control. 14. Which of the statements does Sabrina Baccl’s probably agree with? A. Europe lacks the resources to control measles. B Vaccination is necessary for a minority of groups. C. The drop in measles cases is not worth celebrating. D. Measles can be controlled if Europe takes joint action. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on? A. The data of measles spread. B. The risk of measles infection. C. The guide of measles prevention. D. The analysis of measles cases. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍2025年欧盟/欧洲经济区麻疹病例数据、麻疹防控要求、专家观点及相关预防建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ECDC’s December 2025 report notes that 30 countries reported 7,655 cases and 8 deaths in 2025 — four in France, three in Romania, one in the Netherlands — far fewer than 2024’s over 35,000 cases but almost double 2023’s number. (欧洲疾控中心2025年12月的报告指出，2025年有30个国家报告了7655例病例和8例死亡病例——法国4例、罗马尼亚3例、荷兰1例——远少于2024年的超35000例，但几乎是2023年数字的两倍。)”可知，2025年麻疹病例在30个欧盟/欧洲经济区国家被报告。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“To prevent measles outbreaks and protect defenseless groups — young children too young to be vaccinated and those unable to get vaccines due to medical reasons — at least 95% of the eligible population should get two doses of the measles-containing vaccine as recommended. (为预防麻疹暴发并保护易感人群——年龄过小无法接种疫苗的幼儿，以及因医学原因不能接种疫苗的人群——建议符合接种条件的人群中，至少95% 人群应接种两剂含麻疹成分的疫苗。)”可知，前文提到要保护无法接种疫苗的弱势群体，此处与之相对，指适合、有资格接种疫苗的人群，结合语境可判断eligible意为“有资格接种疫苗的”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She stresses Europe should lead the world in reducing measles, which would be possible if we work together, as it has effective and safe vaccines, sufficient knowledge, resources and effective monitoring tools to control this preventable disease. (她强调欧洲应在全球减少麻疹方面发挥引领作用，如果我们共同努力，这是可能实现的，因为欧洲拥有有效且安全的疫苗、充足的知识、资源和有效的监测工具来控制这种可预防疾病。)”可知，萨布丽娜·巴克尔认为如果欧洲采取联合行动，麻疹是可以得到控制的。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“ECDC advises checking vaccination status — especially before travel — and consulting healthcare professionals if unsure, as measles can cause severe complications or even death. (欧洲疾控中心建议检查疫苗接种状态——尤其是在旅行前——如有不确定应咨询医疗专业人员，因为麻疹可能导致严重并发症甚至死亡。)”可知，本段主要给出麻疹预防的相关指导建议。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。 Just like humans, animals also grow wiser as they age. The bigmouth buffalo fish can reach 127 years old, the Greenland shark 392 years old, and some sponges can live for 10,000 years or more. ____16____ As animals get older, they behave differently depending on their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group. ____17____ Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are vulnerable to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks. Eliminating the largest and most experienced animals can have significant consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn. They are arguing for a new approach called “longevity conservation.” ____18____ Older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, but they help look after young. ____19____ The theory was first studied in humans, and has also been explored in species like elephants and orcas. The lead researcher, Keller Kopf, an ecologist at Charles Darwin University in Australia found that the more he examined different groups of animals, the more he stumbled on remarkable instances demonstrating the value of older creatures. Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures. ____20____ They are also more familiar with dangers, like listening for lions. The loss of old individuals can be a driving factor for many species threatened with extinction. Kopf and his co-authors call for “longevity conservation.” A. However, old animals are in decline. B. As a matter of fact, age is not just a number. C. It demands that we prioritize life experience over genetic diversity. D. For instance, older female elephants remember friends and enemies. E. It needs the “living libraries” of inherited wisdom critical for survival. F. This is known as the “grandmother hypothesis” for healthy populations. G. Their enduring lives reveal nature’s hidden lessons in patience and adaptation. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了动物随年龄增长变聪明，强调保护年长动物的重要性。 【16题详解】 由上文“Just like humans, animals also grow wiser as they age. The bigmouth buffalo fish can reach 127 years old, the Greenland shark 392 years old, and some sponges can live for 10,000 years or more.(就像人类一样，动物也会随着年龄的增长而变得更加聪明。大口水牛鱼可以活到127岁，格陵兰鲨鱼可以活到392岁，一些海绵可以活到1万年甚至更久。)”及下文“As animals get older, they behave differently depending on their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group.(随着动物年龄的增长，它们会根据生活经历表现出不同的行为，对环境有更丰富的了解，并经常将这些知识传递给群体中的年轻成员。)”可知，上文说明了动物会随着年龄增长变聪明，下文进一步说明年龄增长带来的具体影响，本空应强调年龄不只是数字，而是有实际意义。B选项“As a matter of fact, age is not just a number.(事实上，年龄不仅仅是一个数字。)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 由下文“Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are vulnerable to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks.(很少有动物能活到高龄，而那些活到高龄的动物又极易被人类猎杀或捕获，因为它们体型最大，或是长着最大的鹿角、犄角或象牙。)”可知，本段讲述老年动物的生存困境。A选项 “However, old animals are in decline.(然而，老年动物的数量正在减少。)”引出后文内容，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 由上文“They are arguing for a new approach called “longevity conservation.”(他们呼吁一种名为“长寿保护”的新方法。)”可知，本空应解释这一方法的要求。E选项“It needs the “living libraries” of inherited wisdom critical for survival.(它需要承载传承生存关键智慧的“活图书馆”。)”对应前文老年动物积累并传递知识的特点，阐释“长寿保护”的内涵，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 由上文“Older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, but they help look after young.(年长的哺乳动物自己可能产下的后代较少，但它们会帮助照顾幼崽。)”及下文“The theory was first studied in humans, and has also been explored in species like elephants and orcas.(这一理论最初是在人类中研究的，也在大象和虎鲸等物种中进行了探索。)”可知，上文说明了年长哺乳动物会帮助照顾幼崽，下文提到了这一理论在人类、大象和虎鲸等物种中的研究，本空应引出这一理论。F选项“This is known as the “grandmother hypothesis” for healthy populations.(这被称为健康种群的“祖母假说”。)”符合语境，引出了“祖母假说”这一理论。故选F。 【20题详解】 由上文“Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures.(灵长类动物、鲸鱼、大象和群居狩猎动物都有年长的个体，它们携带重要的文化知识并维持社会结构。)”及下文“They are also more familiar with dangers, like listening for lions.(它们也更熟悉危险，比如听狮子的声音。)”可知，上文说明了年长个体携带重要文化知识和维持社会结构，下文进一步说明它们对危险的熟悉程度，本空应举例说明年长个体的具体作用。D选项“For instance, older female elephants remember friends and enemies.(例如，年长的雌性大象会记住朋友和敌人。)”符合语境，举例说明了年长女性大象的作用。故选D。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Parenthood is undoubtedly regarded as one of the most precious blessings in life.

With no fixed home, Monty’s schooling was frequently interrupted, and he could hardly make close friends or settle down. Though the unstable life brought him loneliness, it never killed his glowing dream deep in his heart: to own a beautiful horse ranch of his own. One day in his senior year, his teacher assigned a paper titled My Future Dream. Monty regarded it as a precious chance to show his long-held wish. After school, he buried himself in writing with great enthusiasm. In seven detailed pages, he described a 200-acre ranch with green paddocks, tidy stables and a comfortable house. He even drew a careful floor plan with a ruler, his eyes shining with hope and strong determination. Two days later, the paper was returned, and a huge red “F” shocked him deeply. His heart sank, and his hands trembled with disappointment and pain. He went to his teacher immediately, asking why he got such a low grade. “This dream is unrealistic for you,” the teacher said coldly. “You have no money, no resources and no family support. You must rewrite it with a more practical goal, or the grade will remain the same.” With a heavy heart, Monty turned to his father for advice. He expected his father to make the decision for him, but his father just patted his shoulder gently and said, “This choice is too important to make for you. You have to decide on your own.” Monty fell into deep thought. He sat quietly in his room, holding the paper with the red “F” and staring at his carefully drawn dream plan, lost in a difficult struggle between doubt and faith in his heart. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After struggling with himself for a long time, Monty made a firm decision. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Years later, Monty’s dream finally came true. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1 After struggling with himself for a long time, Monty made a firm decision. He refused to abandon the dream he had cherished for so long. The next day, Monty handed in the same paper without making a single change, looking straight into his teacher’s eyes, he said firmly, “I will keep my dream, and you can keep the F.” His voice was steady, though his hands were slightly trembling. The teacher stared at him in surprise, but said nothing more. At that moment, Monty felt a weight lifted off his chest. He knew he had chosen the path that truly belonged to him, no matter how tough it might be. Paragraph 2 Years later, Monty’s dream finally came true. He owned a 200-acre horse ranch just as he had described in his paper. Above the fireplace in his warm house hung the old school paper with the red “F”, framed carefully. Monty often showed it to visitors, telling them how this grade had pushed him to fight harder for his dream. His story reminds everyone that we should never let others steal our dreams. As long as we follow our heart and hold on with determination, nothing is impossible. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物梦想为线索展开，讲述了少年蒙蒂家境普通、居无定所，却心怀拥有自己马场的梦想。他在作文里细致描绘了梦想中的马场，却被老师评F并认为不切实际，要求重写。在父亲的引导下，蒙蒂陷入了放弃梦想与坚守信念的艰难抉择的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“经过长时间内心挣扎，蒙蒂做出了坚定的决定。”可知，第一段可描写蒙蒂拒绝修改作文，坚持自己的梦想，勇敢向老师表明决心的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“多年以后，蒙蒂的梦想终于实现了。”可知，第二段可描写蒙蒂成功拥有了梦想中的马场，将当年的作文装裱起来，用自身经历激励他人坚守梦想。 2.续写线索：内心挣扎——坚定决心——坚持梦想——直面老师——多年奋斗——梦想成真——分享感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：abandon/give up ②坚持：keep/hold on/stick to ③展示：show/present/demonstrate 情绪类 ①颤抖：trembling /shivering ②坚决：with determination/with resolve/ with strong will 【点睛】[高分句型1] He refused to abandon the dream he had cherished for so long.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句修饰先行词dream） [高分句型2] As long as we follow our heart and hold on with determination, nothing is impossible.（运用了as long as引导条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.本试卷满分150分，考试时间为150分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填涂在答题卡相应的位置。 3.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

These amusement park rides combine engineering skill with basic physics to bring unforgettable experiences to visitors of all ages. TRON Lightcycle/Run Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida Get on a fast motorbike called a Lightcycle in this ride based on the 2010 sci-fi film TRON: Legacy. Racing in nearly dark surroundings, you will try to pass your opponents on your way to success. Traditional coasters get power from a chain that pulls a car up a slope at the start, building up potential, or stored, energy as it moves. When the coaster speeds down, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy — the energy of movement. Instead of chains, TRON Lightcycle/Run uses magnets to achieve this energy change. Placed in the ride’s track and under the Lightcycles, these magnets store potential energy before the ride starts. At launch, the magnets in the track push away those under the Lightcycles, changing potential energy into kinetic energy to drive the ride forward. Lightning Furuviksparken in Furuvik, Sweden Unlike most roller coasters, Lightning starts a second round after its first lap around the tracks, pushing riders forward with a new burst of speed. Its acceleration produces 2.8g-forces, about the same as an astronaut feels during a rocket launch. (A g-force is the force of gravity or acceleration on a body.) Lightning’s acceleration, or how quickly an object changes its speed, comes from a magnetic launch like the one powering TRON Lightcycle/Run. Pulling magnets above the track and under the coaster’s cars speed the ride from 0 to 43 miles an hour in just three seconds. After the first lap, the magnets accelerate the ride again for the second round. 1. How is TRON Lightcycle/Run powered? A. By chains. B. By tracks. C. By slopes. D. By magnets. 2. Which is a feature of Lightning’s launch? A. It takes three seconds. B. It works once only. C. It creates 1.8g-forces. D. It reaches 43 km/h. 3. What is the purpose of this text? A. To show the science behind two coasters. B. To compare the difference of two coasters. C. To encourage tourists to experience two coasters. D. To explain the process of building these two coasters. B For a final class project, Sam’s task was to record a relationship using only digital traces. While peers documented friendships or romances, Sam knew his subject instantly: his father. A quiet civil engineer, his dad’s online world was limited — mostly industry articles and the occasional formal family photo. Their own chats were practical: “Running late.” “Dinner’s ready.” To Sam, his father’s digital self felt like a closed book in another language. The project turned Sam into a digital archaeologist. Scrolling through years of his own posts, he found few direct comments from his dad. But then he shifted focus, searching for echoes instead. He found them attached to his own life. A childhood photo of his first bike ride bore a comment: “Balance is a learned skill. Proud of your persistence.” A link Sam shared about a bridge in Norway prompted his dad to privately send three detailed engineering PDFs — a gesture Sam had acknowledged with just a thumbs-up. The deepest trace was a pattern. Every time Sam posted a milestone — a science fair win, a debate final — within a day, his father would share a dense technical article linked to the topic. It was never “congratulations.” It was his quiet language of care: “I see your world. Here’s a piece of mine to meet it.” For his project, Sam built a private website called “The Bridge.” On one side, he included his milestone posts. Beside each, he placed his father’s corresponding echo: that article, that PDF, that concise comment. Presenting his project, Sam concluded: “We think social media is for broadcasting. But for the quiet ones, it can be a tool for witnessing. My dad’s record wasn’t on his profile; it was hidden at the edges of mine. This project didn’t just teach me about media. It taught me to translate a silence. I’d mistaken for indifference. Sometimes, love isn’t in the post. It’s in the stubborn, quiet act of showing up, click after click, year after year, in the only language you know.” 4. How would Sam describe his father’s “digital self”? A. Simple and obvious. B. Active and social. C Expressive and detailed. D. Reserved and understated. 5. When Sam posted about his life online, his father sent technical articles to _________. A. show his care and attention B. avoid leaving direct comment C. educate Sam on related topics D. inspire Sam to study engineering 6. According to the text, social media serves as _________. A. a form of the father’s silent involvement B. a platform for son’s emotional expression C. a display of Sam’s academic achievements D. a record of the father’s professional interests 7. What does this story intend to convey? A. A tree is known by its fruit. B. Love is written in deeds. C. A good beginning is half done. D. Never judge a book by its cover. C Memory experts say that short, temporary instances of forgetfulness, often called “senior moments”, are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays. Many of us find it increasingly difficult to recall simple things; names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a while, common words that should come easily, or even how to carry out routine actions that once seemed like second nature. The massive amount of information flooding in from various digital channels is occupying our brains. We are constantly scrolling our phones while doing other things, which neuroscientists say makes it extremely hard to encode memories in the first place. As Sara C. Mednick, a neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, explains, our brains are like computers with too many tabs open at the same time. This slows down our processing power, and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result. Lasting and accumulated stress also has a significant impact on memory. Recent life stressors have been found to impair people’s memory, as stress negatively affects attention span and sleep, both of which are closely linked to memory performance. Worse still, long-term stress can damage the brain and cause more lasting memory problems. Although memory declines with age, medical science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts. Some studies show that memory ability peaks in people’s 20s and declines gradually from then on, while others suggest the sharpest drop begins around age 60, since people age cognitively at different rates. To boost memory, experts offer several practical suggestions. Forcing yourself to remember something is counterproductive because frustration will prevent your brain from restoring information effectively. Instead, you should calm down and try again later. Quitting multitasking and focusing on one task at a time helps reduce information overload. Daily meditation, slow deep breathing, walking in nature and enough sleep can strengthen your brain and improve memory function. Being fully present in conversations and giving others your full attention also helps you remember information more clearly. 8. Which of the following is “a senior moment”? A. Failing to remember new information temporarily. B. Refusing to recall unpleasant experiences on purpose. C. Losing the ability to perform daily activities completely. D. Forgetting the title of a book you read every day suddenly. 9. What is mainly responsible for memory problems according to Sara C. Mednick? A. Too much information. B. Multiple tasks in a period. C. The overuse of our brain. D. Heavy dependence on computers. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Stress does no good to memory. B. Aging relates closely to memory problems. C. Stress significantly reduces cognitive ability. D. Memory declines steadily after one’s twenties. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Brain Health: Challenges and Values B. Memory Decline: Factors and Symptoms C Memory Loss: Causes and Solutions D. Senior Moments: Reasons and Consequences D Initial data for 2025 show a significant drop in the number of reported measles (麻疹) cases across EU/EEA countries compared with 2024, but the figures are still twice as high as those reported in 2023. As measles infections typically peak during late winter and early spring, now is the critical time for everyone to check their measles vaccination (接种) status. ECDC’s December 2025 report notes that 30 countries reported 7,655 cases and 8 deaths in 2025 — four in France, three in Romania, one in the Netherlands — far fewer than 2024’s over 35,000 cases but almost double 2023’s number. Measles is a highly infectious disease that spreads easily through the air. so mass immunity (免疫) is the key to stopping its person-to-person transmission. To prevent measles outbreaks and protect defenseless groups — young children too young to be vaccinated and those unable to get vaccines due to medical reasons — at least 95% of the eligible population should get two doses of the measles-containing vaccine as recommended. Unfortunately, 8 in 10 people who had measles in 2025 were unvaccinated, the same as in 2024. Sabrina Baccl, Head of ECDC’s vaccine-preventable diseases programme, says measles cases remain worrying despite a sharp drop over the past year. She stresses Europe should lead the world in reducing measles, which would be possible if we work together, as it has effective and safe vaccines, sufficient knowledge, resources and effective monitoring tools to control this preventable disease. Vaccination, she adds, is both self-protection and solidarity, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated by reducing the spread of infections Unvaccinated infants are particularly vulnerable to measles, as reflected in 2025’s data: children under five made up 40% of the informed*measles cases that year. Measles affects all age groups, and among adults and adolescents with known vaccination status, most had not received any doses and thus fell ill, so they should check their immunization status. Notably, most 2025cases came from local community transmission. ECDC advises checking vaccination status — especially before travel — and consulting healthcare professionals if unsure, as measles can cause severe complications or even death. 12. What do we know about measles cases in 2025 from the passage? A. They resulted in 8 deaths in total, almost in France. B. They peaked in December according to ECDC’s report. C. They were reported in 30 EU/EEA countries within a year. D. They were fewer than those in 2023 but more than in 2024. 13. What does the underlined word “eligible” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Likely to be infected. B. Qualified to get vaccinated. C. Unable to receive treatment. D. Responsible for disease control. 14. Which of the statements does Sabrina Baccl’s probably agree with? A. Europe lacks the resources to control measles. B Vaccination is necessary for a minority of groups. C. The drop in measles cases is not worth celebrating. D. Measles can be controlled if Europe takes joint action. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on? A. The data of measles spread. B. The risk of measles infection. C. The guide of measles prevention. D. The analysis of measles cases. 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。 Just like humans, animals also grow wiser as they age. The bigmouth buffalo fish can reach 127 years old, the Greenland shark 392 years old, and some sponges can live for 10,000 years or more. ____16____ As animals get older, they behave differently depending on their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group. ____17____ Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are vulnerable to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks. Eliminating the largest and most experienced animals can have significant consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn. They are arguing for a new approach called “longevity conservation.” ____18____ Older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, but they help look after young. ____19____ The theory was first studied in humans, and has also been explored in species like elephants and orcas. The lead researcher, Keller Kopf, an ecologist at Charles Darwin University in Australia found that the more he examined different groups of animals, the more he stumbled on remarkable instances demonstrating the value of older creatures. Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures. ____20____ They are also more familiar with dangers, like listening for lions. The loss of old individuals can be a driving factor for many species threatened with extinction. Kopf and his co-authors call for “longevity conservation.” A. However, old animals are in decline. B. As a matter of fact, age is not just a number. C. It demands that we prioritize life experience over genetic diversity. D. For instance, older female elephants remember friends and enemies. E It needs the “living libraries” of inherited wisdom critical for survival. F. This is known as the “grandmother hypothesis” for healthy populations. G. Their enduring lives reveal nature’s hidden lessons in patience and adaptation. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Parenthood is undoubtedly regarded as one of the most precious blessings in life.

With no fixed home, Monty’s schooling was frequently interrupted, and he could hardly make close friends or settle down. Though the unstable life brought him loneliness, it never killed his glowing dream deep in his heart: to own a beautiful horse ranch of his own. One day in his senior year, his teacher assigned a paper titled My Future Dream. Monty regarded it as a precious chance to show his long-held wish. After school, he buried himself in writing with great enthusiasm. In seven detailed pages, he described a 200-acre ranch with green paddocks, tidy stables and a comfortable house. He even drew a careful floor plan with a ruler, his eyes shining with hope and strong determination. Two days later, the paper was returned, and a huge red “F” shocked him deeply. His heart sank, and his hands trembled with disappointment and pain. He went to his teacher immediately, asking why he got such a low grade. “This dream is unrealistic for you,” the teacher said coldly. “You have no money, no resources and no family support. You must rewrite it with a more practical goal, or the grade will remain the same.” With a heavy heart, Monty turned to his father for advice. He expected his father to make the decision for him, but his father just patted his shoulder gently and said, “This choice is too important to make for you. You have to decide on your own.” Monty fell into deep thought. He sat quietly in his room, holding the paper with the red “F” and staring at his carefully drawn dream plan, lost in a difficult struggle between doubt and faith in his heart. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After struggling with himself for a long time, Monty made a firm decision. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Years later, Monty’s dream finally came true. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
