B
Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once — no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.
24. What does paragraph 1 indicate about the author?
A. He was keen on running aimlessly. B. He excelled in plotting running routes.
C. He tended to run at a constant pace. D. He took his running performance too seriously.
25. What does the underlined word “revelation” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. A universal cure. B. A long-awaited miracle.
C. An ethical option. D. A refreshing discovery.
26. How did the author feel in his first attempt at trail running?
A. Uneasy. B. Relieved. C. Pessimistic. D. Determined.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. A run shared is a run enjoyed. B. Running is about joy not figures.
C. One can’t run before one can walk. D. A far journey begins with an initial step.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从痴迷跑步数据到享受跑步本身,领悟到跑步的真谛在于感受当下而非追求成绩。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time. (几年前,我沉迷于个人最佳成绩(PBs)。我把每一次跑步都当作一场与时间永不停息的战斗,我的GPS手表就是裁判。除非达到目标速度,否则失败似乎是肯定的,而成功只会激发我下次如何跑得更快)”可知,作者对待自己的跑步表现过于认真。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery. (然后,一次严重的受伤——我的脚踝骨折——让我休息了三个月,迫使我转向在附近的公园里进行漫长而悠闲的散步——没有手表,没有耳机,只有我脚步的节奏。这让我有了一个revelation:我注意到黄昏的金色透过橡树叶,操场上回荡着孩子们的笑声,附近面包店飘来新鲜出炉的面包香味)”可知,作者受伤后散步时有了新的发现,所以“revelation”指的是“一个令人耳目一新的发现”。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. (然后,越野跑成了我的新追求,在越野跑中,树根和岩石要求你全神贯注于脚步,而不是速度。起初,感觉很奇怪,就像我在作弊,这种不习惯的速度让我有点不安)”可知,作者第一次尝试越野跑时感到不安。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. (就在那时,我突然意识到:跑步的本质不在于追求数据,而在于完全融入当下,享受周围的乐趣,与我的身体、自然和世界建立联系。这确实是有史以来最伟大的个人最佳成绩)”可知,作者的经历表明跑步是为了快乐,而不是为了数据。故选B项。
C
Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.
The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature.
Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection.
Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.
Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added.
28. What change has Richardson traced in his study?
A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature.
C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids.
29. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model?
A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature.
C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons.
30. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text?
A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns.
C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas.
31. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________.
A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change
C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来,书籍中自然词汇减少,反映出人们与自然的接触日益减少。研究表明,城市化、长辈不再引导孩子亲近自然等因素,可能导致后代出现“自然体验的灭绝”。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.(据德比大学的Miles Richardson教授的一项研究显示,这种下降趋势反映了他所追踪到的更为广泛的变革:220年来的城市化记录、社区内野生动物的减少,以及父母不再将与自然的接触方式传递给子女的现象。)” 可知,Richardson追踪到的核心变化是:城市化、社区野生生物减少、父母不再传递亲近自然的习惯,即,人们和自然的直接接触变少了。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The computer modelling in the study also predicts an ‘extinction of experience’, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an ‘orientation’ towards the natural world.(该研究中的计算机模型还预测会出现“体验灭绝”现象,未来的世代将会逐渐失去对自然界的认知,因为自然环境已不再存在于日益密集的居民区之中,而父母们也不再向孩子们传递对自然世界的“认知导向”。)”可知,“体验灭绝”的原因是:社区逐渐被建筑覆盖,自然消失,同时父母不再传递亲近自然的倾向,即,下一代成长环境本身就远离自然。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.(更为有效的是那些能在孩子幼年时期就建立与自然联系的措施,比如为幼儿设立的森林学校。研究表明,政府针对早期教育和城市规划的改革举措必须在未来 25 年内持续推行。一旦这种联系得以确立,它就能实现自我维持。)”可知,更有效的方式是从小培养亲近自然的连接,政府调整早期教育和城市设计的举措,必须在未来25年持续推行,即长期政策才是有效的解决方案。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. ‘Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,’ he said.(一项针对谢菲尔德市民的研究发现,他们平均每天在自然环境中停留的时间仅为4分36秒。“将这个时间增加 10 倍,人们每天就能在户外度过 40 分钟 —— 这或许已经足够了。”)”提及谢菲尔德市民每天只在自然环境中停留4分36秒,而只需增加十倍到四十分钟就够了,即,不用巨大改变,小努力就能提升亲近自然的时间。故选D项。
D
Soda, extremely sweet and nutritionally empty, is subject to taxation (征税) in an increasing number of regions. Nowadays, more than 35 countries and 7 cities in the United States have carried out a tax on soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages (饮料), a policy driven by mounting public health anxieties over diet-related diseases.
In the United States, nearly 40 percent of adults are obese (肥胖的), which adds $147 billion to the nation’s yearly healthcare spending, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The problem is complex, but the widespread intake of foods packed with added sugar that adds calories while providing no essential nutrients plays a major role, with beverages accounting for nearly half the added sugar in the American diet.
Public health researchers regard soda tax as a low-hanging fruit in the battle against health problems such as obesity. These researchers argue that unlike other public health policies that require long-term education and gradual behavior change, soda tax can directly influence people’s spending decisions by increasing the cost of unhealthy beverages.
Behavioral scientist Christina Roberto from UPenn notes taxes are among the most effective policies to change unhealthy eating habits as such taxation has long been proven to have cut public health risks from alcohol and tobacco use. Yet soda tax may fall short of advocates’ goals. Current tax rates are often too insignificant to reach the price level needed to change purchasing behavior. Consumers may replace sugary beverages with other calorie-rich but nutrient-poor foods, or simply cross city borders to buy untaxed soda in neighboring areas.
While beverage tax can cut down on sugary beverage consumption, health gains won’t come easy and will take time. Drawing on the experience of tobacco and alcohol taxes — once faced with opposition from the industries — experts suggest that soda tax should be paired with cultural changes, like how anti-smoking laws eventually decreased tobacco intake. Only by combining policies with growing public perceptions (理解) can we make soda tax truly effective.
32. What is the primary driver of the high obesity rate in the United States?
A. The insufficiency of disease prevention.
B. The lack of important nutrient intake.
C. The incapability of healthcare support.
D. The overconsumption of sugary foods.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The severity of health problems.
B. The practicability of soda tax.
C. The existing policies to fight obesity.
D. The researchers’ different attitudes to soda tax.
34. Why may soda tax fail to achieve its expected effect?
A. People can’t afford the tax payments.
B. People know well about soda’s harm.
C. It is unable to change people’s choices.
D. Sugary beverages are only sold in some areas.
35. What can be done to make soda tax effective?
A. Making long-term healthcare strategies.
B. Joining hands with certain industries.
C. Cutting down sugary beverage supplies.
D. Attaching importance to social awareness.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了美国越来越多地区开始征收汽水税,以应对由高糖饮料引发的肥胖等公共健康问题。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The problem is complex, but the widespread intake of foods packed with added sugar that adds calories while providing no essential nutrients plays a major role.(这个问题很复杂,但广泛摄入富含添加糖的食物是主要原因,这类食物只增加热量却不提供必需的营养)”可知,美国肥胖率高的主要原因是含糖食物的过度摄入。故选D。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Public health researchers regard soda tax as a low-hanging fruit in the battle against health problems such as obesity. These researchers argue that unlike other public health policies that require long-term education and gradual behavior change, soda tax can directly influence people’s spending decisions by increasing the cost of unhealthy beverages.(公共卫生研究者认为汽水税是对抗肥胖等健康问题容易实现的手段。他们认为,与其他需要长期教育和逐步行为改变的公共卫生政策不同,汽水税可以通过提高不健康饮料的成本直接影响人们的消费决策)”可知,本段重点说明汽水税具有实用性、易推行。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Current tax rates are often too insignificant to reach the price level needed to change purchasing behavior. Consumers may replace sugary beverages with other calorie-rich but nutrient-poor foods, or simply cross city borders to buy untaxed soda in neighboring areas.(目前的税率通常太低,无法达到改变购买行为所需的价格水平。消费者可能会用其他高热量、低营养的食物替代含糖饮料,或者直接去邻近地区购买未征税的汽水)”可知,汽水税无法真正改变人们的选择,因此难以达到预期效果。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Only by combining policies with growing public perceptions can we make soda tax truly effective.(只有将政策与不断提升的公众理解相结合,才能让汽水税真正有效)”可知,重视社会意识才能让汽水税有效。故选D。

The best ways to improve creative thinking
When it comes to creativity, one of our biggest concerns is usually how we can be more creative, or how to come up with better ideas. I’ve gathered some of the most practical studies to help improve creativity. All of these studies are useful for everyday creativity. ____36____
Embrace something absurd (荒谬的). ____37____ Absurd art makes the brain work extra hard for a moment when the mind tries to work out exactly what it is looking at or reading, which contributes to innovation to a large extent. I like reading interesting short stories like The Last Question when I am looking for some inspiration.
Create when emotions run high. While many assume happiness is the key to creativity, recent research reached an important conclusion: ____38____ I’m not suggesting you put yourself in a bad mood to create something, but next time you find yourself in a strong emotional state, try sitting down and focus that energy on creating something.
____39____ Some research suggests that exercise can actually improve creative thinking as well, due to its ability to get the heart pumping and put people in a positive mood. ____40____ In both cases, what matters isn’t the specific activity, but the positive emotional shift it creates. If you’re stuck in a creative job and want to take a break, try exercise while your brain is subconsciously at work. It may help to speed up your “Aha!” moment.
A. Fuel creativity through workouts.
B. Come up with more creative ideas.

【答案】36. D 37. F 38. C 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章中介绍了帮助提升创造力的几种方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“I’ve gathered some of the most practical studies to help improve creativity. All of these studies are useful for everyday creativity.(我收集了一些最实用的研究成果,以帮助提升创造力。这些研究对日常创造力的提升都十分有益)”可知,作者要介绍一些帮助提升创造力的研究成果。由此可知,D. Try a few out for yourself and see which ones work best for you.(自己尝试一下其中的一些方法,看看哪些对你最有效)符合语境,建议读者尝试一下,从中选择适合自己的。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据本段首句“Embrace something absurd (荒谬的).(接受一些荒诞的事物)”及下文“Absurd art makes the brain work extra hard for a moment when the mind tries to work out exactly what it is looking at or reading, which contributes to innovation to a large extent.(荒诞的艺术能让大脑在瞬间付出额外的努力,因为此时大脑需要确切地理解所看到或所读的内容,这在很大程度上促进了创新)”可知,本段指出大脑接受一些看似荒诞的事物可以提升创新力。由此可知,F. Research suggests reading or experiencing such things can help improve creative thinking.(研究表明,阅读或体验这类事物有助于提高创造性思维)符合语境,such things对应前文的“something absurd”。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据本段首句“Create when emotions run high.(在情绪高涨时进行创作)”及下文“I’m not suggesting you put yourself in a bad mood to create something, but next time you find yourself in a strong emotional state, try sitting down and focus that energy on creating something.(我并不是建议你故意让自己处于不良情绪中来创作,但下次你发现自己处于强烈的情绪状态时,试着坐下来,将这种能量集中到创作上)”可知,本段中作者建议在情绪高涨状态下创作,这样有可能创作出好作品。由此可知,C. The more intense the emotion, the greater the creativity.(情绪越强烈,创造力就越大)符合语境,对应空前的“an important conclusion”。故选C项。
【39题详解】
该空为段首句应该是一个和下文有关的新的建议。根据下文“Some research suggests that exercise can actually improve creative thinking as well, due to its ability to get the heart pumping and put people in a positive mood.(一些研究表明,运动实际上也能提升创造性思维,这是因为运动能够促使心脏跳动、让人心情愉悦)”可知,本段在讲身体锻炼会提升创造力。由此可知,A. Fuel creativity through workouts.(通过锻炼来激发创造力)符合语境。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“In both cases, what matters isn’t the specific activity, but the positive emotional shift it creates.(在这两种情况下,关键不在于具体的活动本身,而在于它所引发的积极情绪变化)”可知,作者在建议锻炼身体之后此处又例举了一种可以让人心情愉悦从而激发创造力的做法。由此可知,G. It’s similar to how other research shows that thinking about love can produce more creative thoughts.(这与另一些研究的结果类似,即思考爱能够激发更多的创造性想法)符合语境,锻炼和思考爱这两种情况都能使人产生积极情绪。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了《清明上河图》这幅中国古代名画的内容、艺术特色及其历史价值。
【66题详解】
考查冠词。句意:《清明上河图》是中国古代十大名画之一,它展现了北宋都城汴京的繁华景象。空格后“capital of the Song Dynasty” (宋朝的都城)是对“Bianjing(汴京)”的同位语,需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这幅古画长528厘米,宽24.8厘米,以其合理的布局和完美的构图而著称。此处为非谓语动词作定语,measure与逻辑主语painting之间为主动关系,故用现在分词形式作后置定语,故填measuring。
【68题详解】
考查名词。句意:这幅古画长528厘米,宽24.8厘米,以其合理的布局和完美的构图而著称。此处与arrangement并列,作介词for的宾语。compose的名词形式为composition“构图”。故填composition。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着画卷的逐渐展开,首先映入眼帘的是汴京郊外的早春景色——溪流、桥梁、船只和发芽的树木。“the+序数词+名词+不定式”表示“第几个做某事的”,此处表示“第一个吸引眼球的事情”,故该空是动词不定式。故填to catch。
【70题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:一些旅客在薄雾中匆匆赶路,这正是清明节时常见的景象。空处为句子的谓语动词,画作《清明上河图》捕捉的是瞬间的动态画面——“旅客在薄雾中赶路”,因此用现在进行时。且主语travelers为复数,be动词为are。故填are hurrying。
【71题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:桥下有许多船只在争路。“Under the bridge”是地点状语,置于句首时句子要用完全倒装,句子的主语是“many boats”为复数,句子陈述一般事实,所以用一般现在时,be动词用are。故填are。
【72题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最后一部分是拥挤喧闹的市中心,这里的街道两旁排列着官府宅邸、民居院落、作坊、茶馆和杂货店,见证着各行各业的人们忙着各式营生。此处为定语从句修饰先行词downtown,且先行词在从句中作定语,应用关系代词whose引导该从句。故填whose。
【73题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这幅画看起来栩栩如生,令人难以置信,仿佛我们能看到路过的人,听得到他们在谈论什么。hear后接宾语从句,从句中“talking about”缺少宾语,表示“讨论的内容”,所以用what引导该从句。故填what。
【74题详解】
考查介词。句意:《清明上河图》如同一扇通往宋朝的窗口,为后世理解与研究800多年前中国人的经济社会生活提供了极其珍贵的资料。serve as a window to...“作为通往……的窗口”。故填to。
【75题详解】
考查形容词。句意:《清明上河图》如同一扇通往宋朝的窗口,为后世理解与研究800多年前中国人的经济社会生活提供了极其珍贵的资料。value是名词,此处需要形容词valuable “有价值的”来修饰名词materials。故填valuable。

76. When he woke up, he found himself ___________ (seat) on a chair, with his hands tied back. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】seated
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:当他醒来时,他发现自己坐在椅子上,双手被绑在背后。空处在句中作宾语补足语,动词seat“使……就坐”与宾语himself构成逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词的形式。故填seated。
77. Finally, drug users find themselves ________ (trap) in a prison form which they can’t escape. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】trapped
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:最后,吸毒者发现自己被困在牢笼中,无法逃脱。本句谓语为find,此处为非谓语动词,且themselves与trap“卡住,使陷入困境”为被动关系,应用过去分词,作宾语themselves的补足语。故填trapped。
78. Its roof is equipped with 1,600 square meters of solar panels, ________ (generate) about 320,000 kilowatt-hours annually to power its needs.(所给词的适当形式填空)

【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:其屋顶装有1600平方米的太阳能电池板,每年可发电约32万千瓦时,满足自身用电需求。句子已有谓语动词is equipped with,且其与空处所给动词之间无连词,空处需用非谓语形式。generate(产生)与逻辑主语solar panels(太阳能电池板)之间是主动关系,需用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填generating。
79. I observed him ________ (chat) with his parents when I passed by his house. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】chatting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我路过他家时,看到他正在和父母聊天。此处为“observe+宾语+宾补”结构,chat与宾语之间为主动关系,且表示动作正在进行,所以此处使用现在分词形式作宾补,表示“看到某人正在做某事”。故填chatting。
80. It is ___________ (evidence) that the ambition of the young is important to the future of a country. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】evident

【答案】to send
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:中国是第三个将人送入太空的国家。分析句子结构可知,此处考查固定句型:be +序数词+to do意为“第几做某事”。故填to send。
82. The government is discussing strategies (对策) for noise ________ (reduce). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】reduction
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:政府正在讨论降噪的对策。空处作介词for的宾语,提示词的名词形式reduction“降低”符合题意,不可数。故填reduction。
83. The document we are looking through ________ (consist) of millions of pages of data. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】consists
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:我们正在浏览的文件由数百万页的数据组成。句子描述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语The document是第三人称单数,用第三人称单数形式consists,consist of是固定短语,意为“由……组成”。故填consists。
84. China’s image is improving steadily,with more countries ________(recognize)its role in international affairs.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】recognizing
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词。句意:中国的形象在稳步提升,更多的国家认识到中国在国际事务中的作用。分析句子可知,此处是“with+宾语+宾补”的结构,countries与recognize之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填recognizing。

【答案】has seen
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:这是他第一次看到外星人登陆月球吗?此处为句型this is the first time+现在完成时,主语为he,助动词用has。故填has seen。

【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意:正是他的决心和耐心帮助他取得了成功。强调句的基本句型是:It is/was+被强调部分+that+句子其他成分,此处对主语his determination and patience进行强调,空处需填that。故填that。
87. It ________(strike) me that I had left my key at home. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】struck

【详解】考查时态。句意:我突然想起我把钥匙忘在家里了。由had left可知,strike的动作发生在过去,时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填struck。
88. Happiness and success often come to those people ________ are good at recognizing their own strengths. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】who##that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:幸福与成功往往降临到那些善于发现自身长处的人身上。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词为those people(指人)在从句中作主语成分,所以为关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。

【答案】to grow
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:曾经有一段时间,我迫切想在我的花园里种上各种各样的花。have an urge to do sth为固定搭配,意为“有做某事的欲望;迫切想做某事”,此处用不定式作后置定语修饰urge。故填to grow。
90. He said it was shocking that the military strikes came at a time ________ diplomatic talks between the US and Iran were under way. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】when
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意:他表示,令人震惊的是,军事打击发生在美国和伊朗进行外交谈判期间。此处为定语从句,先行词为a time,空格处引导定语从句且在从句中作时间状语,修饰先行词a time,应用关系副词when,故填when

For high school students, becoming future-focused decision-makers is a tough challenge, and career exploration websites serve as invaluable tools to match their academic strengths and interests with suitable careers.
https: //www. youscience. com/
YouScience stands among the top free career exploration websites for high school students by taking a fundamentally different approach to career matching.

Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once — no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.
24. What does paragraph 1 indicate about the author?
A. He was keen on running aimlessly. B. He excelled in plotting running routes.
C. He tended to run at a constant pace. D. He took his running performance too seriously.
25. What does the underlined word “revelation” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. A universal cure. B. A long-awaited miracle.
C. An ethical option. D. A refreshing discovery.
26. How did the author feel in his first attempt at trail running?
A. Uneasy. B. Relieved. C. Pessimistic. D. Determined.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. A run shared is a run enjoyed. B. Running is about joy not figures.
C. One can’t run before one can walk. D. A far journey begins with an initial step.
C
Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.
The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature.
Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection.
Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.
Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added.
28. What change has Richardson traced in his study?
A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature.
C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids.
29. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model?
A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature.
C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons.
30. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text?
A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns.
C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas.
31. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________.
A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change
C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature
D
Soda, extremely sweet and nutritionally empty, is subject to taxation (征税) in an increasing number of regions. Nowadays, more than 35 countries and 7 cities in the United States have carried out a tax on soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages (饮料), a policy driven by mounting public health anxieties over diet-related diseases.
In the United States, nearly 40 percent of adults are obese (肥胖的), which adds $147 billion to the nation’s yearly healthcare spending, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The problem is complex, but the widespread intake of foods packed with added sugar that adds calories while providing no essential nutrients plays a major role, with beverages accounting for nearly half the added sugar in the American diet.
Public health researchers regard soda tax as a low-hanging fruit in the battle against health problems such as obesity. These researchers argue that unlike other public health policies that require long-term education and gradual behavior change, soda tax can directly influence people’s spending decisions by increasing the cost of unhealthy beverages.
Behavioral scientist Christina Roberto from UPenn notes taxes are among the most effective policies to change unhealthy eating habits as such taxation has long been proven to have cut public health risks from alcohol and tobacco use. Yet soda tax may fall short of advocates’ goals. Current tax rates are often too insignificant to reach the price level needed to change purchasing behavior. Consumers may replace sugary beverages with other calorie-rich but nutrient-poor foods, or simply cross city borders to buy untaxed soda in neighboring areas.
While beverage tax can cut down on sugary beverage consumption, health gains won’t come easy and will take time. Drawing on the experience of tobacco and alcohol taxes — once faced with opposition from the industries — experts suggest that soda tax should be paired with cultural changes, like how anti-smoking laws eventually decreased tobacco intake. Only by combining policies with growing public perceptions (理解) can we make soda tax truly effective.
32. What is the primary driver of the high obesity rate in the United States?
A. The insufficiency of disease prevention.
B. The lack of important nutrient intake.
C. The incapability of healthcare support.
D. The overconsumption of sugary foods.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The severity of health problems.
B. The practicability of soda tax.
C. The existing policies to fight obesity.
D. The researchers’ different attitudes to soda tax.
34. Why may soda tax fail to achieve its expected effect?
A. People can’t afford the tax payments.
B. People know well about soda’s harm.
C. It is unable to change people’s choices.
D. Sugary beverages are only sold in some areas.
35. What can be done to make soda tax effective?
A. Making long-term healthcare strategies.
B. Joining hands with certain industries.
C. Cutting down sugary beverage supplies.
D. Attaching importance to social awareness.

The best ways to improve creative thinking
When it comes to creativity, one of our biggest concerns is usually how we can be more creative, or how to come up with better ideas. I’ve gathered some of the most practical studies to help improve creativity. All of these studies are useful for everyday creativity. ____36____
Embrace something absurd (荒谬的). ____37____ Absurd art makes the brain work extra hard for a moment when the mind tries to work out exactly what it is looking at or reading, which contributes to innovation to a large extent. I like reading interesting short stories like The Last Question when I am looking for some inspiration.
Create when emotions run high. While many assume happiness is the key to creativity, recent research reached an important conclusion: ____38____ I’m not suggesting you put yourself in a bad mood to create something, but next time you find yourself in a strong emotional state, try sitting down and focus that energy on creating something.
____39____ Some research suggests that exercise can actually improve creative thinking as well, due to its ability to get the heart pumping and put people in a positive mood. ____40____ In both cases, what matters isn’t the specific activity, but the positive emotional shift it creates. If you’re stuck in a creative job and want to take a break, try exercise while your brain is subconsciously at work. It may help to speed up your “Aha!” moment.
A. Fuel creativity through workouts.
B. Come up with more creative ideas.
C. The more intense the emotion, the greater the creativity.
D. Try a few out for yourself and see which ones work best for you.
E. We are in two very different states of mind when we are trying to create something.
F. Research suggests reading or experiencing such things can help improve creative thinking.
G. It’s similar to how other research shows that thinking about love can produce more creative thoughts.
