Emerald Lake Emerald Lake is one of the park’s most popular destinations for good reason. This 3.5-mile roundtrip gives you great value — you’ll enjoy three lovely mountain lakes and incredible views along the way. You’ll pass Nymph Lake, which is covered with lily pads (睡莲叶子), and the properly named Dream Lake, enjoying perfect views of Hallett Peak before reaching your final destination, Emerald Lake. Summer is especially beautiful. Tundra Communities This smooth, 1.2-mile round-trip road is a great way to explore the park. You can hike along Trail Ridge Road, take in sweeping mountain views, see unique rock formations, and spot tiny mountain wildflowers along the way. Bring a light jacket, as the weather is often colder and windier here than the rest of the park. Mills Lake A picture-perfect lake awaits at the end of this 5.3-mile roundtrip hike off the Glacier Gorge Trailhead. You’ll pass two waterfalls along the way as you climb a moderate 780 feet. Pack a picnic to enjoy on the rocks by the lake. Ouzel Falls Start from the Wild Basin Trailhead, located in the less-visited area of the park by the same name, and follow North St. Vrain Creek as you hike 5.4 miles roundtrip to the amazing 40-foot waterfall. Along the way, you’ll pass Copeland Falls and Calypso Cascades. After Ouzel Falls, the route continues for miles, passing various lakes along the way. It’s a popular route with backpackers. 1. Which hike offers the chance to see three beautiful mountain lakes? A. Emerald Lake. B. Tundra Communities. C. Mills Lake. D. Ouzel Falls. 2. What is special about the Ouzel Falls route? A. It is the toughest hike in the park. B. It features views of a 40-foot waterfall. C. It is covered with lily pads along the way. D. It climbs a moderate 780 feet. 3.

This 3.5-mile roundtrip gives you great value — you’ll enjoy three lovely mountain lakes and incredible views along the way. (翡翠湖是公园里最受欢迎的目的地之一，这是有充分理由的。这条3.5英里的往返路线让你物超所值——沿途你可以欣赏到三个美丽的山间湖泊和令人难以置信的美景)”可知，翡翠湖徒步路线可以欣赏到三个美丽的山间湖泊。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ouzel Falls部分“Start from the Wild Basin Trailhead, located in the less-visited area of the park by the same name, and follow North St. Vrain Creek as you hike 5.4 miles roundtrip to the amazing 40-foot waterfall. (从位于公园内游客较少的同名地区的野生盆地步道头开始，沿着北圣弗兰溪徒步5.4英里，到达令人惊叹的40英尺高的瀑布)”可知，Ouzel Falls路线的特别之处在于可以看到一个40英尺高的瀑布。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Emerald Lake部分“This 3.5-mile roundtrip gives you great value (这条3.5英里的往返路线为您带来了巨大的价值)”、Tundra Communities部分“This smooth, 1.2-mile round-trip road is a great way to explore the park. (这条1.2英里长的平滑往返公路是探索公园的好方法)”、Mills Lake部分“A picture-perfect lake awaits at the end of this 5.3-mile roundtrip hike off the Glacier Gorge Trailhead. (在冰川峡谷步道5.3英里的往返徒步之旅结束时，一个风景如画的湖泊正等待着您)”以及Ouzel Falls部分“Start from the Wild Basin Trailhead, located in the less-visited area of the park by the same name, and follow North St. Vrain Creek as you hike 5.4 miles roundtrip to the amazing 40-foot waterfall. (从位于公园内游客较少的同名地区的野生盆地步道头开始，沿着北圣弗兰溪徒步5.4英里，到达令人惊叹的40英尺高的瀑布)”可知，文本给出了每条建议徒步路线的总距离。故选D项。 B Who needs culinary (烹饪的) school when you have the Internet and an unstoppable passion for cooking? Braxton Harst, a 12-year-old from Magee, Mississippi, is living proof that a determined kid can become a master cake baker all by himself. A couple of years ago, Braxton came across cake decorating videos online and was fascinated. He had never baked before, but he was hungry to learn. So, he searched online after homework, and spent hours watching videos. He learned how to make cakes flat and smooth, and how to decorate them. The first cake he attempted was flatter than a pancake. But Braxton wasn’t discouraged. He changed the recipe, tried again, and soon was making tasty and pretty cakes. Fast forward to now: this seventh-grader is turning out excellent cakes that wouldn’t look out of place in a bakery window. One of his most impressive creations was featured at the school bake sale and sold out in minutes. Braxton says his favorite part is the creativity: “Baking is like science and art mixed together. I can experiment and express myself. And it’s delicious!” His mom admits the kitchen often looks like a “flour storm” hit it, but she couldn’t be prouder. Braxton has even started a small side hustle (副业), selling custom cakes to family friends, with all earnings saved for his dream of attending a real culinary institute one day. But for now, he’s content to inspire others — he’s gained a local following on social media where he shares baking tips with fellow teens. Braxton’s journey shows that with curiosity, patience, and an Internet connection, a kid can transform an ordinary kitchen into a springboard for exceptional abilities. His advice to other young people: “Find something you love, learn everything about it, and don’t be afraid to mess up.” This is sweet wisdom coming from a rising star baker. 4. What initially inspired Braxton Harst to start baking cakes? A. His mother’s encouragement. B. His interest in science and art. C. Online cake decorating videos. D. The school bake sale. 5. What do we know about Braxton’s first attempt at making a cake? A. The cake tasted delicious. B. The cake was not so successful. C. The cake was decorated simply. D. The cake sold out in no time. 6. What does Braxton think is the most enjoyable part of baking? A. Making money from selling cakes. B. Following the recipes strictly. C. The process of hands-on experimentation. D. The innovation involved in it. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Start a Business as a Chef: Baking Cakes B. The Importance of Culinary School C. From Zero to Hero: A Boy’s Baking Journey D. The Science and Art of Baking Cakes 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了12岁的Braxton偶然看到网上蛋糕装饰视频后爱上烘焙，自学成才，从失败到做出精美蛋糕，还做起副业并分享技巧，证明热爱与坚持能成就非凡。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A couple of years ago, Braxton came across cake decorating videos online and was fascinated.(几年前，布拉克斯顿在网上偶然看到了一些蛋糕装饰的视频，顿时被深深吸引住了)”可知，最初促使布拉克斯顿·哈斯特开始制作蛋糕的原因是网络蛋糕装饰教程视频。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The first cake he attempted was flatter than a pancake.But Braxton wasn’t discouraged.(他第一次尝试做的蛋糕比薄饼还要薄。但是布拉克斯顿并没有气馁。)”可知，布拉克斯顿第一次尝试制作蛋糕并不成功。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Braxton says his favorite part is the creativity: “Baking is like science and art mixed together. I can experiment and express myself. And it’s delicious!”(布拉克斯顿说他最喜欢的部分在于其创造力：“烘焙就像是科学与艺术的完美结合。我可以进行实验，表达自我。而且味道还很美味！”)”可知，布拉克斯顿认为烘焙中最令人愉快的部分是其中的创新之处。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Braxton Harst, a 12-year-old from Magee, Mississippi, is living proof that a determined kid can become a master cake baker all by himself.(来自密西西比州梅吉市的12岁少年布拉克斯顿·哈斯特就是活生生的例子，证明了一个意志坚定的孩子完全能够独自成为一名出色的蛋糕烘焙师)”结合文章说明了12岁的Braxton偶然看到网上蛋糕装饰视频后爱上烘焙，自学成才，从失败到做出精美蛋糕，还做起副业并分享技巧，证明热爱与坚持能成就非凡。可知，C选项“从零开始到成为英雄：一个男孩的烘焙之旅”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C Literally a long read — this book is just over twice as long as it is wide — Nature’s Dance is a bifold (对开) hardback that explores the formations and movements of animals on the ground and in the earth, sea and sky. You might know a few. For example, geese often fly in a “V” shape. You can also see something like that when starling birds (椋鸟) move together in the sky, or when big groups of fish swim together in the sea. These “dances” usually serve a much greater purpose than the recreational dancing that we humans sometimes engage in — although it can be argued that we’re often doing much more than blowing off steam when we’re ballroom or nightclub dancing. For example, bees talk to each other by flying in special ways or by buzzing with different sounds. Sardines and other small fish gather in huge, orderly schools — sometimes millions strong. They form a ball, each fish perfectly positioned. This gives them the best chance to survive when potential attackers are nearby. Author and illustrator Núria Solsona has grouped six different species according to their different choreographies (编舞) — dances that can be seen being performed by other animals, too. She had put these dances under the microscope, examining the evolutionary reasons why each species has adopted a particular dance, while putting her artistic talent to the test by drawing some incredibly detailed and technical illustrations — her paintings of starling flights and sardine schools are particularly impressive. The unusual bifold format of this print suits Nature’s Dance really well. It’s a relatively short book, but there’s a lot to learn from it, even for nature lovers. It’ll certainly put the next flight of ducks or group of insects in a different light the next time you see them. 8. Why do sardines gather in huge schools? A. To find more food easily. B. To communicate with each other. C. To increase their chances of survival. D. To show their orderly characteristics. 9. What do we know about Núria Solsona from the text? A. She is good at both writing and drawing. B. She is a professional dancer. C. She is the first to discover animal dances. D. She prefers the bifold format to other formats. 10. What is the main topic of the book Nature’s Dance? A. Human dance history. B. The author’s artistic talent. C. Bee communication methods. D. Animal movement patterns. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The book is short but hard to read. B. The book targets professional biologists. C. The book offers new perspectives on nature. D. The book changes how readers view huge animals. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了《自然的舞蹈》一书，探讨了动物在陆地、海洋和天空中的运动模式及其生存意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sardines and other small fish gather in huge, orderly schools — sometimes millions strong. They form a ball, each fish perfectly positioned. This gives them the best chance to survive when potential attackers are nearby. (沙丁鱼和其他小鱼会大量聚集，形成有序的鱼群——有时多达数百万条。它们形成一个球体，每条鱼都处于完美的位置。当潜在的攻击者靠近时，这给了它们最好的生存机会)”可知，沙丁鱼大量聚集是为了增加生存机会。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Author and illustrator Núria Solsona has grouped six different species according to their different choreographies (编舞) — dances that can be seen being performed by other animals, too. She had put these dances under the microscope, examining the evolutionary reasons why each species has adopted a particular dance, while putting her artistic talent to the test by drawing some incredibly detailed and technical illustrations — her paintings of starling flights and sardine schools are particularly impressive. (作家兼插画家Núria Solsona根据不同的编舞将六种不同的物种分组，这些舞蹈也可以被其他动物表演。她把这些舞蹈放在显微镜下，研究了每个物种采用特定舞蹈的进化原因，同时通过绘制一些非常详细和技术性的插图来检验她的艺术天赋——她关于椋鸟飞行和沙丁鱼鱼群的画作尤其令人印象深刻)”可知，Núria Solsona既擅长写作又擅长绘画。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Literally a long read — this book is just over twice as long as it is wide — Nature’s Dance is a bifold (对开) hardback that explores the formations and movements of animals on the ground and in the earth, sea and sky. (这本书读起来着实漫长 —— 它的长度几乎是宽度的两倍多。——《自然之舞》是一本对开精装画册，展现了动物在陆地、地下、海洋与天空中的形态与动态。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了《自然的舞蹈》这本书，其核心内容是动物的运动模式。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s a relatively short book, but there’s a lot to learn from it, even for nature lovers. It’ll certainly put the next flight of ducks or group of insects in a different light the next time you see them. (这是一本相对较短的书，但即使对于自然爱好者来说，也可以从中学到很多东西。下次你看到下一群鸭子或一群昆虫时，肯定会对它们有不同的看法)”可知，作者暗示这本书为读者提供了对自然的新视角。故选C项。 D Denmark’s red mailboxes, a familiar sight across the country, are slowly disappearing. This is because PostNord, the state-run postal service, will stop delivering letters after December 30, 2025, though it will continue distributing packages. Letter delivery in Sweden will remain unchanged. “We have been the Danes (丹麦人)’ postal service for 400 years, and therefore it is a difficult decision to put a bow on that part of our story,” says Kim Pedersen, CEO for Post Nord Denmark. He explained that people now hardly receive any letters — on average, just one per month. Since the year 2000, the total number of letters sent in Denmark has fallen by over 90%, from more than 1.4 billion to under 200 million. In 2024 alone, the decline was more than 30% compared to the previous year. This decrease made the letter delivery service unprofitable. Another factor was a recent law that caused postage prices to rise sharply, to about $ 4.50 per letter. This further reduced the demand for sending mail. As a result, PostNord is removing its 1,500 red mailboxes from streets. About 1,000 have been sold already, and hundreds more will be auctioned (拍卖). The company has also let go of 1,500 employees due to the decline in letter volume. Although the national postal service is stopping letter delivery, people can still send letters through a private company called Dao. However, senders must either bring mail directly to a Dao shop or pay for a pickup service. Dao expects to handle many more letters next year as it expands its business. Denmark is the first European country to end its state-run letter delivery service, but it may not be the last. Postal services in other nations, such as Canada, the United States, and Greece, are also facing similar challenges. As one expert noted, Denmark is like a “canary (金丝雀) in the coal mine,” signaling a trend that could spread to other parts of the world as digital communication continues to replace traditional mail. 12. What will PostNord continue to do after December 30, 2025, in Denmark? A. Deliver letters to every household. B. Recycle red mailboxes. C. Distribute packages across the country. D. Provide pickup services for private mail. 13. What does the underlined phrase “put a bow on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Improve. B. End. C. Decorate. D. Rewrite. 14. What can be inferred about the future of letter delivery in Denmark? A. The need for written communication is expected to grow shortly. B. Sending a letter will become more convenient but more expensive. C. The classic red mailboxes will be preserved as historical monuments. D. The volume of letters handled by a private company is expected to grow. 15. What can we learn from the expert’s words in the last paragraph? A. Denmark might lead where postal services are headed. B. Coal mines in Denmark need more safety measures. C. Digital communication will soon take over the world. D. Other European countries will stop letter delivery soon. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了丹麦因信件数量锐减，国营邮政服务PostNord将于2025年底停止信件投递，转而专注于包裹配送，并探讨了这一趋势可能对其他国家产生的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This is because PostNord, the state-run postal service, will stop delivering letters after December 30, 2025, though it will continue distributing packages. (这是因为国营邮政服务PostNord将在2025年12月30日之后停止投递信件，不过它将继续配送包裹)”可知，2025年12月30日之后，PostNord将继续在丹麦配送包裹。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“We have been the Danes (丹麦人)’ postal service for 400 years, and therefore it is a difficult decision to put a bow on that part of our story (400年来，我们一直是丹麦人的邮政服务，因此，为我们故事的那一部分put a bow on是一个艰难的决定)”以及上文提到PostNord将停止信件投递可知，此处指结束长达400年的信件投递历史。故划线短语put a bow on意为“结束”，与B项“End”同义。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Although the national postal service is stopping letter delivery, people can still send letters through a private company called Dao. However, senders must either bring mail directly to a Dao shop or pay for a pickup service. Dao expects to handle many more letters next year as it expands its business.(尽管国家邮政服务即将停止信件投递，人们仍可通过一家名为Dao的私营公司寄信。不过，寄件人必须将邮件直接送至Dao的门店，或付费预约上门取件服务。随着业务扩展，Dao预计明年的信件处理量将大幅增加)”可推知，在丹麦，私人公司Dao处理的信件量预计将会增长。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As one expert noted, Denmark is like a “canary (金丝雀) in the coal mine,” signaling a trend that could spread to other parts of the world as digital communication continues to replace traditional mail. (正如一位专家指出的那样，丹麦就像“煤矿里的金丝雀”，预示着随着数字通信继续取代传统邮件，这一趋势可能蔓延到世界其他地方)”可知，由专家的话可推知丹麦的邮政变革可能预示着其他国家邮政服务的未来走向，即丹麦可能在邮政服务的发展方向上起到引领作用。故选A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。 While pesticides (杀虫剂) are common in many gardens, they’re not the only option when it comes to creating a beautiful backyard. But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides. ____16____ Here, we explore steps to create a garden with natural interventions. Try lazy gardening Worried about leaves building up on your ground? Sweep pathways to keep them safe and clear, but leaves left to break down become natural plant nutrition and soil conditioner. ____17____ These multiple functions lay the foundation for a rich and healthy environment. Reframe the idea of “pests” and “weeds” The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”. It reminds us that our plants can usually handle some level of damage, and the aim shouldn’t be to destroy these creatures, but to balance them to a tolerable level. ____18____ Most weeds are native species that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Use biological controls ____19____ Unlike pesticides, these natural predators (捕食者) don’t cause any damage to your plants or your health, and they can actually be more effective at targeting a specific problem. For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. Learn to spot problems early When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required. Or your plants look weak, so you check if the water can go into the soil well, and adjust your watering schedule. ____20____ A. It’s about working with nature. B. Prevent weeds with organic matters. C. Going organic offers a full harvest of positives. D. They also provide safe habitats for garden creatures. E. Natural enemies can help you manage your garden ecosystem. F. This not only builds your gardening skills but also saves you money. G. Similarly, “weeds” are simply plants growing where we prefer them not to. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了打造有机花园的方法，倡导与自然协作，用自然方式维护花园生态平衡。 【16题详解】 上文“But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides.

(担心地上堆积的树叶？清扫小路以保持它们的安全和畅通，但是留下的树叶分解后会成为天然的植物营养和土壤改良剂)”提到树叶分解后会成为天然的植物营养和土壤改良剂，D选项“它们还为花园里的生物提供了安全的栖息地”进一步阐述了树叶的益处，即提供栖息地，符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 上文“The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”. It reminds us that our plants can usually handle some level of damage, and the aim shouldn’t be to destroy these creatures, but to balance them to a tolerable level. (英国皇家园艺学会鼓励园丁将“害虫”视为“放错地方的野生动物”。它提醒我们，我们的植物通常可以承受一定程度的损害，目标不应该是消灭这些生物，而是将它们平衡到一个可容忍的水平)”提到英国皇家园艺学会鼓励园丁将“害虫”视为“放错地方的野生动物”，G选项“同样，“杂草”只是长在我们不希望它们长的地方的植物”与上文相呼应，将“杂草”也进行了类似的解释，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“Unlike pesticides, these natural predators (捕食者) don’t cause any damage to your plants or your health, and they can actually be more effective at targeting a specific problem. For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. (与杀虫剂不同，这些天然捕食者不会对你的植物或健康造成任何损害，而且它们实际上在针对特定问题时更有效。例如，有蚜虫侵害？引入一些吃蚜虫的有益昆虫)”提到天然捕食者可以帮助解决特定问题，E选项“天敌可以帮助你管理你的花园生态系统”总结了上文内容，即天敌在花园生态系统中的作用，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required. Or your plants look weak, so you check if the water can go into the soil well, and adjust your watering schedule. (当你能够尽早发现并识别问题时，采取行动就容易多了。例如，你在攀缘植物的叶子上发现了病斑，并迅速剪掉受感染的叶子——问题应该就解决了，不需要治疗。或者你的植物看起来很弱，所以你检查水是否能很好地渗入土壤，并调整你的浇水计划)”提到尽早发现并识别问题可以更容易地采取行动，F选项“这不仅提高了你的园艺技能，还为你节省了钱”总结了上文内容的好处，即提高园艺技能和节省钱，符合语境。故选F。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, I was driving my father’s old car to an important client meeting on the highway.

I didn’t know why I attempted the Wendy’s Breakfast Matching Game online. Funnily enough, on my first try, I matched three images. Up appeared: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON FREE BREAKFAST FOR A YEAR! One week later, a booklet of coupons (优惠券册) arrived in the mail. Free breakfast every week for a year. Fifty-two meals consisting of a breakfast sandwich, potato, and coffee or other drinks. What Tim said was true. I liked having breakfast while wearing pajamas (睡衣) in my own kitchen. Not dressed up, in public, or around strangers. It was this habit that made me unwilling to go out and afraid to communicate with strangers. Besides, I didn’t even drink coffee. So Tim suggested I go to the drive-through each week and eat my breakfast back home. Yes, I could do that. I was retired, and that seemed the best thing to do given my dislike of eating breakfast out. However, lately, I was staying home too much, content to write and read alone. I couldn’t remember the last time that I met someone new and made a friend. And my fashionable clothes from my working days had been replaced by pajamas. What if I changed my attitude? What if I used this win to change my breakfast habit just one day a week? I considered this opportunity a challenge. So the next morning, I woke up early, drove to Wendy’s (not dressed in my usual pajamas). My hands shook a little as I parked the car, and I took a deep breath before pushing the door open and going inside. When I presented my coupon for a free breakfast, the waiter’s eyes lit up instantly. He was overjoyed to welcome the very first winner at this restaurant. Then he happily introduced me to the entire breakfast crew. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At this moment, I could tell he was excited, but I was extremely nervous. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to the warm-hearted waiter, I gave up the idea of eating back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At this moment, I could tell he was excited, but I was extremely nervous. My hands trembled slightly as I stood there, and I avoided eye contact with the other customers. I had been so used to staying alone at home that being in the center of attention made my heart race. I whispered a quick “thank you” and was about to take my food and leave when the waiter smiled gently and said, “We’ve prepared a nice table for you. It’s a pleasure to serve our first winner.” His kindness melted my unease a little, and I hesitated by the door, not knowing whether to stay or go. Thanks to the warm-hearted waiter, I gave up the idea of eating back home. I sat down at the table and slowly enjoyed my breakfast. To my surprise, several customers smiled and greeted me, and even had short conversations with me. For the first time in a long while, I felt relaxed and cheerful around strangers. That morning not only brought me delicious food but also the courage to step out of my comfort zone. From then on, I looked forward to my weekly breakfast at Wendy’s, making small talks and enjoying the warmth of connecting with people. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了退休后习惯独自在家吃早餐、害怕与人交流的“我”，意外赢得免费早餐券后，鼓起勇气走进餐厅，在热心服务员的温暖带动下，走出舒适区、重新感受与人交往温暖的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“此刻，我能看出他很兴奋，但我却极度紧张。”可知，接下来可描写“我”因紧张而手足无措的状态，以及服务员的温柔安抚，缓解“我”的不安。 ② 由第二段首句“多亏了那位热心的服务员，我放弃了回家吃早餐的想法。”可知，接下来可描写“我”在餐厅就餐的经历，通过与服务员、其他顾客的简单互动，感受到与人交往的温暖，进而改变独处的习惯。 2. 续写线索 紧张不安——服务员温柔挽留、耐心安抚——留下就餐，尝试与人交流——感受到交往的温暖——改变独处习惯，期待每周的餐厅早餐 3.词类激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②低声说：whisper/murmur ③期待：look forward to/anticipate 情绪类 ①高兴的：cheerful/delighted ②放松的：relaxed/comfortable/at ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】I had been so used to staying alone at home that being in the center of attention made my heart race. （运用了so...that...句型引导结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】I looked forward to my weekly breakfast at Wendy’s, making small talks and enjoying the warmth of connecting with people.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 英语 本试卷共8页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1.

Emerald Lake Emerald Lake is one of the park’s most popular destinations for good reason. This 3.5-mile roundtrip gives you great value — you’ll enjoy three lovely mountain lakes and incredible views along the way. You’ll pass Nymph Lake, which is covered with lily pads (睡莲叶子), and the properly named Dream Lake, enjoying perfect views of Hallett Peak before reaching your final destination, Emerald Lake. Summer is especially beautiful. Tundra Communities This smooth, 1.2-mile round-trip road is a great way to explore the park. You can hike along Trail Ridge Road, take in sweeping mountain views, see unique rock formations, and spot tiny mountain wildflowers along the way. Bring a light jacket, as the weather is often colder and windier here than the rest of the park. Mills Lake A picture-perfect lake awaits at the end of this 5.3-mile roundtrip hike off the Glacier Gorge Trailhead. You’ll pass two waterfalls along the way as you climb a moderate 780 feet. Pack a picnic to enjoy on the rocks by the lake. Ouzel Falls Start from the Wild Basin Trailhead, located in the less-visited area of the park by the same name, and follow North St. Vrain Creek as you hike 5.4 miles roundtrip to the amazing 40-foot waterfall. Along the way, you’ll pass Copeland Falls and Calypso Cascades. After Ouzel Falls, the route continues for miles, passing various lakes along the way. It’s a popular route with backpackers. 1. Which hike offers the chance to see three beautiful mountain lakes? A. Emerald Lake. B. Tundra Communities. C. Mills Lake. D. Ouzel Falls. 2. What is special about the Ouzel Falls route? A. It is the toughest hike in the park. B. It features views of a 40-foot waterfall. C. It is covered with lily pads along the way. D. It climbs a moderate 780 feet. 3. What information does the text give about each of the four suggested hikes? A. The best season to visit. B. The difficulty level rating. C. A detailed route of the hike. D. The total distance of the hike. B Who needs culinary (烹饪的) school when you have the Internet and an unstoppable passion for cooking? Braxton Harst, a 12-year-old from Magee, Mississippi, is living proof that a determined kid can become a master cake baker all by himself. A couple of years ago, Braxton came across cake decorating videos online and was fascinated. He had never baked before, but he was hungry to learn. So, he searched online after homework, and spent hours watching videos. He learned how to make cakes flat and smooth, and how to decorate them. The first cake he attempted was flatter than a pancake. But Braxton wasn’t discouraged. He changed the recipe, tried again, and soon was making tasty and pretty cakes. Fast forward to now: this seventh-grader is turning out excellent cakes that wouldn’t look out of place in a bakery window. One of his most impressive creations was featured at the school bake sale and sold out in minutes. Braxton says his favorite part is the creativity: “Baking is like science and art mixed together. I can experiment and express myself. And it’s delicious!” His mom admits the kitchen often looks like a “flour storm” hit it, but she couldn’t be prouder. Braxton has even started a small side hustle (副业), selling custom cakes to family friends, with all earnings saved for his dream of attending a real culinary institute one day. But for now, he’s content to inspire others — he’s gained a local following on social media where he shares baking tips with fellow teens. Braxton’s journey shows that with curiosity, patience, and an Internet connection, a kid can transform an ordinary kitchen into a springboard for exceptional abilities. His advice to other young people: “Find something you love, learn everything about it, and don’t be afraid to mess up.” This is sweet wisdom coming from a rising star baker. 4. What initially inspired Braxton Harst to start baking cakes? A. His mother’s encouragement. B. His interest in science and art. C. Online cake decorating videos. D. The school bake sale. 5. What do we know about Braxton’s first attempt at making a cake? A. The cake tasted delicious. B. The cake was not so successful. C. The cake was decorated simply. D. The cake sold out in no time. 6. What does Braxton think is the most enjoyable part of baking? A. Making money from selling cakes. B. Following the recipes strictly. C. The process of hands-on experimentation. D. The innovation involved in it. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Start a Business as a Chef: Baking Cakes B. The Importance of Culinary School C. From Zero to Hero: A Boy’s Baking Journey D. The Science and Art of Baking Cakes C Literally a long read — this book is just over twice as long as it is wide — Nature’s Dance is a bifold (对开) hardback that explores the formations and movements of animals on the ground and in the earth, sea and sky. You might know a few. For example, geese often fly in a “V” shape. You can also see something like that when starling birds (椋鸟) move together in the sky, or when big groups of fish swim together in the sea. These “dances” usually serve a much greater purpose than the recreational dancing that we humans sometimes engage in — although it can be argued that we’re often doing much more than blowing off steam when we’re ballroom or nightclub dancing. For example, bees talk to each other by flying in special ways or by buzzing with different sounds. Sardines and other small fish gather in huge, orderly schools — sometimes millions strong. They form a ball, each fish perfectly positioned. This gives them the best chance to survive when potential attackers are nearby. Author and illustrator Núria Solsona has grouped six different species according to their different choreographies (编舞) — dances that can be seen being performed by other animals, too. She had put these dances under the microscope, examining the evolutionary reasons why each species has adopted a particular dance, while putting her artistic talent to the test by drawing some incredibly detailed and technical illustrations — her paintings of starling flights and sardine schools are particularly impressive. The unusual bifold format of this print suits Nature’s Dance really well. It’s a relatively short book, but there’s a lot to learn from it, even for nature lovers. It’ll certainly put the next flight of ducks or group of insects in a different light the next time you see them. 8. Why do sardines gather in huge schools? A. To find more food easily. B. To communicate with each other. C. To increase their chances of survival. D. To show their orderly characteristics. 9. What do we know about Núria Solsona from the text? A. She is good at both writing and drawing. B. She is a professional dancer. C. She is the first to discover animal dances. D. She prefers the bifold format to other formats. 10. What is the main topic of the book Nature’s Dance? A. Human dance history. B. The author’s artistic talent. C. Bee communication methods. D. Animal movement patterns. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The book is short but hard to read. B. The book targets professional biologists. C. The book offers new perspectives on nature. D. The book changes how readers view huge animals. D Denmark’s red mailboxes, a familiar sight across the country, are slowly disappearing. This is because PostNord, the state-run postal service, will stop delivering letters after December 30, 2025, though it will continue distributing packages. Letter delivery in Sweden will remain unchanged. “We have been the Danes (丹麦人)’ postal service for 400 years, and therefore it is a difficult decision to put a bow on that part of our story,” says Kim Pedersen, CEO for Post Nord Denmark. He explained that people now hardly receive any letters — on average, just one per month. Since the year 2000, the total number of letters sent in Denmark has fallen by over 90%, from more than 1.4 billion to under 200 million. In 2024 alone, the decline was more than 30% compared to the previous year. This decrease made the letter delivery service unprofitable. Another factor was a recent law that caused postage prices to rise sharply, to about $ 4.50 per letter. This further reduced the demand for sending mail. As a result, PostNord is removing its 1,500 red mailboxes from streets. About 1,000 have been sold already, and hundreds more will be auctioned (拍卖). The company has also let go of 1,500 employees due to the decline in letter volume. Although the national postal service is stopping letter delivery, people can still send letters through a private company called Dao. However, senders must either bring mail directly to a Dao shop or pay for a pickup service. Dao expects to handle many more letters next year as it expands its business. Denmark is the first European country to end its state-run letter delivery service, but it may not be the last. Postal services in other nations, such as Canada, the United States, and Greece, are also facing similar challenges. As one expert noted, Denmark is like a “canary (金丝雀) in the coal mine,” signaling a trend that could spread to other parts of the world as digital communication continues to replace traditional mail. 12. What will PostNord continue to do after December 30, 2025, in Denmark? A. Deliver letters to every household. B. Recycle red mailboxes. C. Distribute packages across the country. D.

Sending a letter will become more convenient but more expensive. C. The classic red mailboxes will be preserved as historical monuments. D. The volume of letters handled by a private company is expected to grow. 15. What can we learn from the expert’s words in the last paragraph? A. Denmark might lead where postal services are headed. B. Coal mines in Denmark need more safety measures. C. Digital communication will soon take over the world. D.

But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides. ____16____ Here, we explore steps to create a garden with natural interventions. Try lazy gardening Worried about leaves building up on your ground? Sweep pathways to keep them safe and clear, but leaves left to break down become natural plant nutrition and soil conditioner. ____17____ These multiple functions lay the foundation for a rich and healthy environment. Reframe the idea of “pests” and “weeds” The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”.

For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. Learn to spot problems early When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required.

I didn’t know why I attempted the Wendy’s Breakfast Matching Game online. Funnily enough, on my first try, I matched three images. Up appeared: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON FREE BREAKFAST FOR A YEAR! One week later, a booklet of coupons (优惠券册) arrived in the mail. Free breakfast every week for a year. Fifty-two meals consisting of a breakfast sandwich, potato, and coffee or other drinks. What Tim said was true. I liked having breakfast while wearing pajamas (睡衣) in my own kitchen. Not dressed up, in public, or around strangers. It was this habit that made me unwilling to go out and afraid to communicate with strangers. Besides, I didn’t even drink coffee. So Tim suggested I go to the drive-through each week and eat my breakfast back home. Yes, I could do that. I was retired, and that seemed the best thing to do given my dislike of eating breakfast out. However, lately, I was staying home too much, content to write and read alone. I couldn’t remember the last time that I met someone new and made a friend. And my fashionable clothes from my working days had been replaced by pajamas. What if I changed my attitude? What if I used this win to change my breakfast habit just one day a week? I considered this opportunity a challenge. So the next morning, I woke up early, drove to Wendy’s (not dressed in my usual pajamas). My hands shook a little as I parked the car, and I took a deep breath before pushing the door open and going inside. When I presented my coupon for a free breakfast, the waiter’s eyes lit up instantly. He was overjoyed to welcome the very first winner at this restaurant. Then he happily introduced me to the entire breakfast crew. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At this moment, I could tell he was excited, but I was extremely nervous. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to the warm-hearted waiter, I gave up the idea of eating back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
