To comfort and boost confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it was an immediate success. Thus was officially born The Choir with No Name (TCWNN), which now boasts seven choirs across multiple cities to support those affected by homelessness and exclusion. Studies have documented the close link between homelessness and poor mental health. A 2022 report revealed homeless people experience worse physical and mental health than the general population. Fortunately, research in Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety. Frequently excluded and often ignored, homeless people are often isolated. “Our choirs aim to do the opposite, where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham. Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment. Rehearsals (彩排) start with a chat, followed by 90 minutes of group singing and a hot meal afterward. The choir directors are teaching group singing in a way that ensures everyone is supported to grow both personally and musically. Dan, who has been in the choir since 2015, says his life has been transformed. Forced to leave his family home and living in a hostel, he had withdrawn from the world. Weekly rehearsals gave him a routine among the chaos, providing hope during darkness. “When I joined, I was at the bottom of the ladder; choir was the start of climbing up, and, slowly but surely, I got to where I am today — a confident and outgoing person.” he says. Now Dan has his own flat and rebuilds family relationships. 4. Why did Marie Benton start TCWNN? A. To uplift people experiencing hardships. B. To help herself settle in London quickly. C. To help with the promotion of local hostels. D. To establish a choir network across the UK. 5. What does the research in Psychology of Music show? A. The growing popularity of singing activities. B. The poor physical health of homeless people. C. The positive effects of choir on mental health. D. The link between homelessness and mental health. 6. What does TCWNN feature? A. Required registration. B. Easy access for everyone. C. High attendance demands. D. Strict musical ability standards. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where Every Voice Matters B. How Music Heals Inner Wounds C. Why Singing Brings Stress Relief D. What Science Says About Choirs 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Marie Benton创立无名合唱团帮助无家可归者，讲述该合唱团的特点、音乐对流浪者的积极影响，还列举实例印证其带来的改变。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第“To comfort and boost confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it was an immediate success.(为了安慰陷入困境的人们并增强他们的信心，她在当地收容所张贴海报宣传“一个还没有名字的合唱团”，并立刻获得了成功。)”可知，Marie创立该合唱团是为了鼓舞身处困境的人。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fortunately, research in Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety.(幸运的是，《音乐心理学》的研究发现，参与合唱团能提升积极情绪，88%的人心理健康状况得到改善，78%的人压力和焦虑有所减轻。)”可知，该研究表明合唱团对心理健康有积极作用。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment.(与其他团体不同，无名合唱团免费加入，欢迎所有年龄、背景和音乐水平的人，无需提前注册、试音或定期参与。)”可知，该合唱团的特点是人人都能轻松加入。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第三段““Our choirs aim to do the opposite, where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham.(无名合唱团的首席执行官凯特・韦勒姆博士说：‘我们的合唱团恰恰相反，在这里每个人都会被看见、被倾听。’)”可知，文章主要介绍Marie Benton创立无名合唱团帮助无家可归者，讲述该合唱团的特点、音乐对流浪者的积极影响，还列举实例印证其带来的改变，其核心是这个合唱团让每个声音都被重视。所以A项“Where Every Voice Matters(每个声音都很重要)”符合文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选A项。 C Philadelphia, sometimes also called Philly, is a big city on the Delaware River in the southeastern state of Pennsylvania. It has about 1.5 million people. William Penn, an Englishman, erected Pennsylvania in the 1680s, creating a new colony where religious freedom was guaranteed. He also designed the city. Penn chose the name Philadelphia — a term meaning “city of brotherly love” in Greek. Philadelphia is famous for holding an important place in American history. It served as the nation’s capital from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders declared independence and later debated the creation of a government. The National Park Service says more than 2.6 million people visited Independence National Historical Park last year. Close to the park is the National Liberty Museum. It holds a collection of more than ninety paintings and sculptures. Several blocks away lies the National Constitution (宪法) Center. This privately operated nonprofit museum opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. It was created to increase public recognition of the Constitution, its history, and its importance today. Rich with tradition, Philadelphia offers plenty to visitors who are less concerned about history and more concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for hungry visitors. Reading Terminal Market, for example, is one of the nation’s largest public markets. At Reading Terminal Market, visitors can find all kinds of foods — including, of course, Philly cheesesteak. The city is known for these sandwiches. They are made of thin pieces of meat covered with cheese. A cheesesteak is offered with onions and other toppings and served on a long roll. 8. What does the underlined word “erected” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Explored. B. Attacked. C. Founded. D. Recommended. 9. What does the author intend to tell us about Philadelphia in paragraph 3? A. Its local cultural traditions. B. Its unique architectural style. C. Its popular tourist activities. D. Its vital historical position. 10. What do we know about the National Constitution Center? A. It attracts many tourists every year. B. It has a large collection of artworks. C. It is privately run and requires a fee to visit. D. It focuses on citizen constitutional education. 11. How does Philadelphia attract visitors who care little about history? A. By offering food to hungry people. B. By organizing visits to various markets. C. By introducing all kinds of delicious food. D. By teaching traditional food cooking skills. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国费城的地理位置、历史由来、重要历史地位、相关纪念场馆以及特色美食。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“William Penn, an Englishman, erected Pennsylvania in the 1680s, creating a new colony where religious freedom was guaranteed. He also designed the city. Penn chose the name Philadelphia — a term meaning ‘city of brotherly love’ in Greek.(英国人威廉·佩恩在17世纪80年代erected了宾夕法尼亚，创建了一个保障宗教自由的新殖民地。他还设计了这座城市。彭选择了费城这个名字——在希腊语中意为“兄弟之爱之城”。)”可知，威廉·彭在17世纪80年代建立了宾夕法尼亚州，“erected”在此处意为“建立”，与“Founded”意思相近。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Philadelphia is famous for holding an important place in American history. It served as the nation’s capital from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders declared independence and later debated the creation of a government.(费城在美国历史上占有重要地位。从1785年到1790年，它一直是美国的首都。更早的时候，在大部分对英革命战争期间，它是美国殖民地的首都。费城成为创建美国政府的“开国元勋”们的中央会场。他们工作的建筑今天可以在被称为老城或独立国家历史公园的地区看到。主要建筑是独立宫。殖民地领导人就是在那里宣布独立，后来又就政府的建立进行辩论。)”可知，本段主要介绍了费城在美国历史上的重要地位。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This privately operated nonprofit museum opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. It was created to increase public recognition of the Constitution, its history, and its importance today.(这个由私人运营的非营利博物馆于2003年7月4日在费城开放。它的创立是为了提高公众对宪法的认识，了解宪法的历史及其今天的重要性。)”可知，国家宪法中心关注公民宪法教育。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Rich with tradition, Philadelphia offers plenty to visitors who are less concerned about history and more concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for hungry visitors.(费城传统丰富，为不太关心历史、更关心美食的游客提供了丰富选择，饥饿的游客有多种食物可选。)”可知，费城通过提供各式各样的美食吸引这类游客。故选C项。 D In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places — including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertiliser (肥料) use, is a major climate concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century. To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的) life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil. The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective. However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland of Purdue University, an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, this bacterial treatment could have a major impact on reducing agriculture’s contribution to climate change. 12. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern? A. It is released in larger amounts than CO2. B. It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time. C. It comes mainly from industrial production. D. It has a much stronger warming effect than CO2. 13. What did the researchers find? A. A way to help farmers increase fertiliser use. B. A bacterium that stays in the soil forever. C. A method to produce more biofuels from waste. D. A microbe that cuts N2O without harming soil. 14. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? A. Its potential benefits. B. Its working principle. C. Its producing process. D. Its research value. 15. What prevents the application of the finding? A. Shortage of necessary bacteria. B. Difficulty in large-scale testing. C. Lack of economic benefit for farmers. D. Uncertainty about its effect. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了特定细菌可减少农业一氧化二氮排放。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century.(据挪威生命科学大学的合著者Lars Bakken教授称，这种气体使大气变暖的效率是二氧化碳的265倍，并且可以在空气中停留一个多世纪)”可知，一氧化二氮是主要的气候问题是因为它比二氧化碳的变暖效应强得多。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的) life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil.(为了开发解决方案，研究人员使用有机废物培养细菌。在以往工作的基础上，他们寻找一种微生物，这种微生物能够减少一氧化二氮的排放，而不会在土壤中停留太久，从而危害对作物健康重要的其他生命形式。两周后，第二次施肥处理后，细菌减少了约一半的排放。三个月后，微生物的组成没有变化，这表明细菌不会伤害土壤)”可知，研究人员发现了一种能减少一氧化二氮排放且不伤害土壤的微生物。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第四段中“The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective.(这些细菌没有经过基因改造，自然存在于厌氧消化器中，厌氧消化器是将有机废物转化为生物燃料的设施。亚利桑那大学的Paul Carini没有参与这项研究，他说，这可能会让人们更容易接受它们的使用。此外，Bakken表示，这为农田管理“开辟了许多新的可能性”。这种细菌可以添加到肥料中，为农民提供潜在的直接应用。正如Carini所指出的，利用一个工业过程的废物产品来造福另一个工业过程是具有成本效益的)”可知，第四段主要讨论了这种细菌的潜在好处。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods.(更关键的是，农民目前没有采用这种方法的经济动力)”可知，缺乏对农民的经济利益阻碍了这一发现的应用。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful, scary but exciting. ____16____ Do not panic if, like me, you do not make friends on the first day or week. Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there was something wrong with me. ____17____ Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why the friendships I had forced did not work out. It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there. ____18____ So, dear Fresher, as I say welcome to university life, I am also saying, give yourself time-to understand your school, your course, and your new rhythm of life. Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in. ____19____ Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe- to discover amazing cultures, new accents, and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in order to become. Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really quickly. ____20____Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or joining the dance troupe. So, dear Fresher, go forward, and leave your mark! You will be surprised at how much experience that will contribute to your CV. A. It is a big turn on the pages of your life. B. Extracurricular activities build confidence. C. I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes. D. It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people. E. That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make. F. While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are. G. Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章以亲切、随和的语气向新生提出了关于如何适应大学生活、保持自我、寻找兴趣等多方面的建议，既有作者的亲身经历，也有对新生的殷切期望和鼓励。 【16题详解】 分析设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Dear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful, scary but exciting.(亲爱的新生们，上大学可能是一段愉快但又充满挑战的经历：可怕但又美丽，可怕但又令人兴奋)”可知，A项“It is a big turn on the pages of your life.(这是你人生的一个重大转折)”是对前文内容的总结，说明大学的重要性。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there was something wrong with me.(在认识萨那之前，我试着强迫自己和其他专业的同学交朋友。然后我开始确信我有什么问题)”以及后文“Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why the friendships I had forced did not work out.(最终，当我开始结交更多的朋友时，我明白了为什么我强迫的友谊没有成功)”可知，空处应是介绍前文讲述的作者自己的问题所造成的后果，这个问题会导致他强迫的友谊没有成功，所以E项“That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make.(这就是为什么我对我试图结交的每一个朋友都不感兴趣)”符合文意。故选E项。 【18题详解】 分析设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there.(这是我了解自己独特性的第一课，并提醒我，我的“朋友”就在某处，在那里)”可知，作者明白，不需要刻意去结交他人，所以C项“I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes.(我不再费力地把方钉塞进圆孔里)”符合文意，通过比喻说明自己不再刻意去结交他人。故选C项。 【19题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，应是本段的中心句，根据后文“Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe- to discover amazing cultures, new accents, and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in order to become.(当然，你必须留下成长和呼吸的空间——去发现令人惊叹的文化、新的口音和搭配衣服的新方法——但不要做任何需要你为了成为而放弃真实自我的事情)”可知，本段讲述了大一新生不要做任何需要你为了成为而放弃真实自我的事情，所以F项“While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are.(当生活的新阶段充满挑战时，记住真正的自己)”符合文意。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really quickly.(最后，它可能看起来不像，但你在大学的四年、五年或六年时间会很快过去)”以及后文“Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or joining the dance troupe.(也许是diy，写博客，参加部门的社团活动，或者加入舞蹈团)”可知，前文讲述时间过得很快，后文讲述参加活动，所以空处应是一个过渡句，G项“Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time.(在空闲时间找机会做你感兴趣的事情)”符合文意，承接上文，引出下文。故选G项。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One day, my friend Jack and I wandered into a stationery store.

We ___23___ everywhere for the spring, but in vain. Jack’s face turned red with ___24___ as the shopkeeper walked over. “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to pay for the ___25___ pen,” she said. Jack paid for it unwillingly. Just then, his eyes landed on a shiny star-patterned pen in the showcase — one he’d been ___26___ for. “But I don’t have enough left,” he muttered sadly. “Tim, would you like to lend me the money? I’ll pay you back next week, I promise” he begged. I nodded and ___27___ the cost for him. But weeks passed, and Jack never mentioned it. ___28___ crept into my mind: Was he avoiding it on purpose? Did he not value our friendship enough to ___29___? I told my dad about it. He patted my shoulder _____30_____ and said, “Misunderstandings happen when we stay _____31_____. Next time, just ask him _____32_____.” So at the store again, I took a deep breath and said, “Hey, remember that star pen? Did you _____33_____ to forget to pay me back?” “Oh my gosh I totally forgot! It _____34_____ my mind, I’m so sorry.” He apologized, quickly giving me back the money. Overthinking only makes things worse. Open and honest _____35_____ is the easiest way to clear up misunderstandings and it can save friendship from unnecessary tension. 21.

A week before Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted to give away holiday meals for families in our community. We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their responses were overwhelming: a single mother, Amy, working two jobs to pay medical bills; an elderly couple, Mr and Mrs Jones, whose fixed income couldn’t stretch; the Tomas family, displaced by a recent fire... Eventually, we created a list of 10 families in financial need, each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket. These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a traditional holiday meal: golden stuffing mix, green beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce, flour, butter, onions, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams. That night, the fellowship hall buzzed with laughter and emotion. As each family arrived to pick up their basket, their gratitude was evident. Mr and Mrs Jones shared how this would be their first full meal together in weeks. Amy spoke quietly about job losses, and others about hardships. Yet, in that hall, there was warmth restored. Just as the families were about to leave, a father, mother, and a child with worn but neat clothes stepped in. The father said they had simply heard through word of mouth that a church was giving out food and decided to come. Clearly, they were not on our list. I approached them and explained that we were unable to provide supplies today for an extra family due to limited resources. I felt so sorry as I looked at the family, hoping they would understand the difficult circumstances. The man responded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We just came to see if anything was available. Thank you anyway.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, Mrs Jones stopped them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, Mrs Jones stopped them. She hurried over with her neatly packed food basket. “Wait a moment,” she said gently, fetching an empty box from the corner of hall. She pulled out a bag of golden stuffing mix and laid it carefully into the box. Mr Jones stood beside her, nodded in agreement, “We don’t need so much food for just the two of us.” Inspired by their kindness, Amy reached into her basket for a jar of jellied cranberry sauce, while the Tomas family contributed six plump sweet potatoes. One by one, each family stepped forward and offered an item. Soon, the empty box was transformed into the 11th special basket, brimming with all the Thanksgiving necessities, woven together by the love of everyone present. Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. The mother quickly wiped her moist eyes with the back of her hand, and clutched her child tightly to her chest, while the father held the basket as if it were a precious treasure. “Thank you, thank you all so much,” he said hoarsely, his voice choked with deep gratitude. The child looked up at the crowd and whispered a shy yet sincere“thank you” too. As they left, the warm glow of the church lights fell on their figures, gently illuminating their path home. That night, we all grasped the true essence of Thanksgiving — it lies not just in giving, but in sharing hand in hand. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者难忘去年在教堂的感恩节，和成员为10个贫困家庭准备节日餐食。分发时，额外一个家庭前来求助，因资源有限无法提供，作者深感抱歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这家人满怀失望准备离开时，琼斯夫人叫住了他们。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：琼斯送出自己的食物给他们，众人纷纷效仿，食物填满空盒子。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着这个特别的“篮子”，这一家人感动得热泪盈眶。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：这家人感谢众人，大家明白感恩节的真正意义。 2.续写线索：琼斯送出食物——众人效仿——食物填满盒子——感谢众人——大家感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓舞：motivate/inspire/encourage ②提供：provide/offer ③低语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/softly/tenderly ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] “Wait a moment,” she said gently, fetching an empty box from the corner of hall.（运用了现在分词fetching作状语） [高分句型2] “Thank you, thank you all so much,” he said hoarsely, his voice choked with deep gratitude. （运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir helped her settle in. To comfort and boost confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it was an immediate success. Thus was officially born The Choir with No Name (TCWNN), which now boasts seven choirs across multiple cities to support those affected by homelessness and exclusion. Studies have documented the close link between homelessness and poor mental health. A 2022 report revealed homeless people experience worse physical and mental health than the general population. Fortunately, research in Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety. Frequently excluded and often ignored, homeless people are often isolated. “Our choirs aim to do the opposite, where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham. Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment. Rehearsals (彩排) start with a chat, followed by 90 minutes of group singing and a hot meal afterward. The choir directors are teaching group singing in a way that ensures everyone is supported to grow both personally and musically. Dan, who has been in the choir since 2015, says his life has been transformed. Forced to leave his family home and living in a hostel, he had withdrawn from the world. Weekly rehearsals gave him a routine among the chaos, providing hope during darkness. “When I joined, I was at the bottom of the ladder; choir was the start of climbing up, and, slowly but surely, I got to where I am today — a confident and outgoing person.” he says. Now Dan has his own flat and rebuilds family relationships. 4. Why did Marie Benton start TCWNN? A. To uplift people experiencing hardships. B. To help herself settle in London quickly. C. To help with the promotion of local hostels. D. To establish a choir network across the UK. 5. What does the research in Psychology of Music show? A. The growing popularity of singing activities. B. The poor physical health of homeless people. C. The positive effects of choir on mental health. D. The link between homelessness and mental health. 6. What does TCWNN feature? A. Required registration. B. Easy access for everyone. C. High attendance demands. D. Strict musical ability standards. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where Every Voice Matters B. How Music Heals Inner Wounds C. Why Singing Brings Stress Relief D. What Science Says About Choirs C Philadelphia, sometimes also called Philly, is a big city on the Delaware River in the southeastern state of Pennsylvania. It has about 1.5 million people. William Penn, an Englishman, erected Pennsylvania in the 1680s, creating a new colony where religious freedom was guaranteed. He also designed the city. Penn chose the name Philadelphia — a term meaning “city of brotherly love” in Greek. Philadelphia is famous for holding an important place in American history. It served as the nation’s capital from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders declared independence and later debated the creation of a government. The National Park Service says more than 2.6 million people visited Independence National Historical Park last year. Close to the park is the National Liberty Museum. It holds a collection of more than ninety paintings and sculptures. Several blocks away lies the National Constitution (宪法) Center. This privately operated nonprofit museum opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. It was created to increase public recognition of the Constitution, its history, and its importance today. Rich with tradition, Philadelphia offers plenty to visitors who are less concerned about history and more concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for hungry visitors. Reading Terminal Market, for example, is one of the nation’s largest public markets. At Reading Terminal Market, visitors can find all kinds of foods — including, of course, Philly cheesesteak. The city is known for these sandwiches. They are made of thin pieces of meat covered with cheese. A cheesesteak is offered with onions and other toppings and served on a long roll. 8. What does the underlined word “erected” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Explored. B. Attacked. C. Founded. D. Recommended. 9. What does the author intend to tell us about Philadelphia in paragraph 3? A. Its local cultural traditions. B. Its unique architectural style. C. Its popular tourist activities. D. Its vital historical position. 10. What do we know about the National Constitution Center? A. It attracts many tourists every year. B. It has a large collection of artworks. C. It is privately run and requires a fee to visit. D. It focuses on citizen constitutional education. 11. How does Philadelphia attract visitors who care little about history? A. By offering food to hungry people. B. By organizing visits to various markets. C. By introducing all kinds of delicious food. D. By teaching traditional food cooking skills. D In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places — including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertiliser (肥料) use, is a major climate concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century. To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的) life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil. The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective. However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland of Purdue University, an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, this bacterial treatment could have a major impact on reducing agriculture’s contribution to climate change. 12. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern?

Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there was something wrong with me. ____17____ Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why the friendships I had forced did not work out.

Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in. ____19____ Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe- to discover amazing cultures, new accents, and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in order to become. Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really quickly. ____20____Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or joining the dance troupe.

Extracurricular activities build confidence. C. I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes. D. It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people. E.

A week before Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted to give away holiday meals for families in our community. We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their responses were overwhelming: a single mother, Amy, working two jobs to pay medical bills; an elderly couple, Mr and Mrs Jones, whose fixed income couldn’t stretch; the Tomas family, displaced by a recent fire... Eventually, we created a list of 10 families in financial need, each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket. These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a traditional holiday meal: golden stuffing mix, green beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce, flour, butter, onions, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams. That night, the fellowship hall buzzed with laughter and emotion. As each family arrived to pick up their basket, their gratitude was evident. Mr and Mrs Jones shared how this would be their first full meal together in weeks. Amy spoke quietly about job losses, and others about hardships. Yet, in that hall, there was warmth restored. Just as the families were about to leave, a father, mother, and a child with worn but neat clothes stepped in. The father said they had simply heard through word of mouth that a church was giving out food and decided to come. Clearly, they were not on our list. I approached them and explained that we were unable to provide supplies today for an extra family due to limited resources. I felt so sorry as I looked at the family, hoping they would understand the difficult circumstances. The man responded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We just came to see if anything was available. Thank you anyway.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, Mrs Jones stopped them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
