B Early in my academic career, I noticed that one of the most popular classes on campus was Introduction to Astronomy. The students all loved it — especially the non-science majors. I asked one of them, an economics student, why she enjoyed astronomy so much. She didn’t say anything about stars, but said, “When I go into this class, I am usually stressed out about my life. But 90 minutes later, I feel relief because I am just a speck on a speck.” She was expressing a philosophical truth. We tend to believe that to be happier, we need to become bigger in our own mind and in the minds of others. But that’s wrong. What we really need to achieve both the perspective on life and the peace we desire is to get smaller in relation to everything and everyone else. We are not the center of most things in life. And yet, when we don’t recognize the truth, we go about our business with the illusion that we are the focus of intense outside interest. This fantasy is almost certainly a product of evolution: Our ancestors struggled to rise in social hierarchies by thinking that they mattered more as individuals than they actually did. This work of constantly comparing themselves with others made it more likely that they would keep their genes in a competitive mating environment. We inherited their belief of self-importance. But this comes at a cost. Researchers have shown that such self-focus can cause emotional problems, making social situations or task performance feel frightening and unpleasant. As I have shown in the past, getting happier very often requires you not to give in to natural tendencies. The world is constantly inviting you to try to make yourself appear bigger in others’ eyes and in your own. The trick to finding happiness is to get smaller. 24. What helped the economics student reduce her stress? A. Her great interest in astronomy. B. Her realization of being small. C. Her temporary escape from reality. D. Her academic progress in the subject. 25. What do most people believe about how to achieve happiness? A. By focusing on the outside world. B. By exploring their inner minds. C. By adapting to the environment. D. By making themselves important. 26. What does the underlined word “inherited” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reflected on. B. Approved of. C. Passed on. D. Gave up. 27. What is the author’s advice on finding happiness? A. To accept one’s insignificance. B. To develop strong self-awareness. C. To follow our ancestors’ footsteps. D. To improve cooperation within social groups. C Middle age has become a critical breaking point in the US. Those born in the 1960s and early 1970s report higher level of loneliness and depression, along with declining memory and physical strength — an unusual trend when compared with other wealthy nations, where midlife health and well-being have improved, especially inNordic Europe. To figure out the root cause, Arizona State University psychologist Frank J. Infurna and his colleagues analyzed survey data from 17 countries. They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices. Their findings, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, point to multiple contributing factors and offer directions for change. Family policy differences mark a key gap between the US and Europe. European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare. This leaves US middle-aged adults, who balance work, child-raising and elder care, facing steadily rising loneliness across generations. Healthcare affordability and income inequality worsen the situation. The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt. Income inequality has also grown in the US, unlike in Europe, and is linked to poorer health and greater loneliness, as it restricts education, employment and social service access. Cultural patterns and weak social safety nets also contribute to the issue. Americans move frequently and live far from extended families, weakening social ties. Later US generations also face financial insecurity, while Europe’s stronger safety nets protect its middle-aged population. Notably, education is losing its protective power: despite higher educational attainment, US middle-aged adults show episodic memory decline, weakened by ongoing stress and health risks. The researchers stress these outcomes are not unavoidable. Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US. 28. What led to America’s midlife crisis according to Infurna’s research? A. Close living space but loose social bonds. B. Heavy life pressures but weak social supports. C. Insufficient education and unfair work opportunities. D. Unhealthy lifestyle and limited access to medical care. 29. What is a major difference in family policies between the US and Europe? A. Europe has cared less about social ties. B. The US has adjusted cash transfer policies. C. The US has broadened parental leave support. D. Europe has increased family benefits spending. 30. What conclusion can be drawn about US healthcare from the text? A. People lack accessible and affordable care. B. It lays emphasis on people’s mental health. C. The government cuts down healthcare spending. D. Medical debt is people’s biggest financial burden. 31. What is the key to the solution of US midlife crisis? A. Individual social involvement. B. Experts’ long-term professional guidance. C. Gradual transformation of cultural patterns. D. Strong government-supported social protections. D When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 32. What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A. To reduce winter heating costs. B. To capture thermal energy from soil. C. To store underground heat for later use. D. To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 33. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A. Phase change makes heat control possible. B. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer. C. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D. Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 34. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A. Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B. Developing test models with improved control. C. Applying the technology to residential sectors. D. Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 35. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The work is piling up, pressure is mounting, and deadlines are approaching. How can we still get useful results if we need to make quick judgments and fast decisions? ____36____ Here’s how we can upgrade our minds. Firstly, challenge your key assumptions. Based on past experience, our mind constantly makes assumptions about the world. However, what saves us time and energy can lead to wrong conclusions if they remain unchallenged. Start by working in a team and questioning each other’s assumptions. ____37____ You should also consider alternative explanations. Humans seek explanations, and we prefer the one that comes to mind first. ____38____ It pays to naturally look beyond the most obvious explanations. This is to avoid confirmation bias; when we ignore evidence that goes against a prior belief. A master thinker treats their preferred explanation just as an assumption. ____39____ They simply refer to the main factors influencing how things have been going or how they will go. If we practice watching for driving factors when we have time to think, we’ll be able to identify them more instinctively on occasions when we’re in a hurry. The master thinker prioritizes the factors that impact an issue the most. Finally, consider the overall context. The master thinker considers the circumstances and conditions of an issue. ____40____ A few minutes to orient ourselves and reflect on the situation as a whole can once more save us time down the road. Only then is it time to consider the details and incorporate them back into said picture. A. Moreover, try to focus on key drivers. B. Attempt to think about problems wisely. C. However, that isn’t necessarily the correct one. D. This habit involves looking at the big picture first. E. True expert thinkers know the limitations of their minds. F. This collaborative approach enables your thinking to be challenged. G. Actually, the habits of master thinkers can help in reasoning and making decisions. 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I have an unusual hobby: I find “lost” memories in secondhand shops and reunite them with their owners.

My ____43____ began two years ago when I ____44____ a collection of dusty, old photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought: if these were mine, I’d want someone to ____45____ them to me. So I made it my ____46____ to do so for others. Up to now, I have collected over 50,000 items like photographs, albums, and even undeveloped films. To find the owners, I set up a social media account. The first item I ____47____ was a tape of a family holiday, where the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it. My followers ____48____ athletic departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 90s if they recognized the student. ____49____, just a few days later, someone ____50____ him. To confirm he was just the person in the photo, we ____51____ him down on social media. He couldn’t believe it and was extremely ____52____ to be reunited with the tape. He then recreated some of the movies with his own sons. This journey of mending memory’s gaps is far more ____53____ than I could have imagined. Here, what was once lost is gently restored to its rightful place, and ____54____ blooms as stories reunite with the ____55____ that once held them close. 41.

Just give one class a try.” Unwillingly, I agreed, and my nervousness peaked at the first meeting. The art room walls were covered with amazing works — vivid sunsets, lifelike cats, and delicate portraits. I slipped into a corner, gripping my pencil so tight that my knuckles (指关节) whitened. Staring at the blank page, I dared not draw a single line, fearing the students would laugh at my unskilled work and simple ideas. Ms. Lopez noticed my anxiety and sat beside me quietly. “What makes you feel truly happy and relaxed?” she asked softly. “My grandma’s apple orchard (果园),” I replied instantly. “I go there every weekend and love everything about it, especially the old apple tree and the little sparrows.” “Then draw that,” she encouraged. “Forget the rules — just paint how that place makes you feel inside.” Taking a deep breath, I started sketching the old apple tree I loved so much. I drew its thick branches stretching toward the sky and a tiny sparrow perched on one limb, singing happily. When I finished, Ms. Lopez held up my sketch proudly. “This work has so much heart!” she said warmly. The class broke into applause, and Mia, the girl sitting beside me, whispered softly, “The sparrow looks so alive and lovely!” However, I could still see that it was far from perfect with uneven lines. 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: Inspired by their encouragement, I decided to keep painting the orchard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: That weekend, I went to grandma's orchard with my sketchbook _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2026届 浙江绍兴2026年4月适应性考试（二模）英语 英语试卷 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。每段录音读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man going to do tomorrow?

The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how severe this storm would be. We were told there would be 5 cm of snow, but we now have doubled that amount and it’s expected to reach over 20 cm by 3 PM. So what does this mean? This means we have ended class just now at 11 AM. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria. You may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you may drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them your plans. It’s quite dangerous out there right now, and by this evening we are likely to have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, stay tuned for an announcement from our school bus driver Jamie Johnson. He will share more details about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone, and please stay safe. 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A What you earn a degree in matters.

The students all loved it — especially the non-science majors. I asked one of them, an economics student, why she enjoyed astronomy so much. She didn’t say anything about stars, but said, “When I go into this class, I am usually stressed out about my life. But 90 minutes later, I feel relief because I am just a speck on a speck.” She was expressing a philosophical truth. We tend to believe that to be happier, we need to become bigger in our own mind and in the minds of others. But that’s wrong. What we really need to achieve both the perspective on life and the peace we desire is to get smaller in relation to everything and everyone else. We are not the center of most things in life. And yet, when we don’t recognize the truth, we go about our business with the illusion that we are the focus of intense outside interest. This fantasy is almost certainly a product of evolution: Our ancestors struggled to rise in social hierarchies by thinking that they mattered more as individuals than they actually did. This work of constantly comparing themselves with others made it more likely that they would keep their genes in a competitive mating environment. We inherited their belief of self-importance. But this comes at a cost. Researchers have shown that such self-focus can cause emotional problems, making social situations or task performance feel frightening and unpleasant. As I have shown in the past, getting happier very often requires you not to give in to natural tendencies. The world is constantly inviting you to try to make yourself appear bigger in others’ eyes and in your own. The trick to finding happiness is to get smaller. 24. What helped the economics student reduce her stress? A. Her great interest in astronomy. B. Her realization of being small. C. Her temporary escape from reality. D. Her academic progress in the subject. 25. What do most people believe about how to achieve happiness? A. By focusing on the outside world. B. By exploring their inner minds. C. By adapting to the environment. D. By making themselves important. 26. What does the underlined word “inherited” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reflected on. B. Approved of. C. Passed on. D. Gave up. 27. What is the author’s advice on finding happiness? A. To accept one’s insignificance. B. To develop strong self-awareness. C. To follow our ancestors’ footsteps. D. To improve cooperation within social groups. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了真正的快乐并非让自己显得更重要，而是意识到自身在世界中的渺小，放下自我中心，从而获得内心平静与幸福。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“I asked one of them, an economics student, why she enjoyed astronomy so much. She didn’t say anything about stars, but said, “When I go into this class, I am usually stressed out about my life. But 90 minutes later, I feel relief because I am just a speck on a speck.”(我问其中一个学生，她是学经济学的，为什么这么喜欢天文学。她没有说任何关于星星的话，而是说道：“我去上这门课的时候，通常都对生活感到压力很大。但90分钟后，我就释然了，因为我不过是一粒尘埃中的尘埃罢了。”)” 可知，意识到自己的渺小帮助这名经济学专业的学生减轻了压力，故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“We tend to believe that to be happier, we need to become bigger in our own mind, and in the minds of others.(我们往往认为，要变得更快乐，就需要在自己和别人的心目中显得更重要。)” 可知，大多数人认为获得幸福的方式是让自己变得重要，故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“This work of constantly comparing themselves with others made it more likely that they would keep their genes in a competitive mating environment. We inherited their belief of self-importance.(这种不断与他人比较的做法，让他们更有可能在竞争激烈的繁衍环境中保留自己的基因。我们inherited他们那种自我重视的观念。)” 可知，那种自我重视的观念从祖先那里延续到我们身上，说明inherited 表示“传承、继承”，与passed on意思相近，故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“The trick to finding happiness is to get smaller.(找到幸福的诀窍是让自己变得渺小。)” 可知，作者关于寻找幸福的建议是接受自己的微不足道，故选A。 C Middle age has become a critical breaking point in the US. Those born in the 1960s and early 1970s report higher level of loneliness and depression, along with declining memory and physical strength — an unusual trend when compared with other wealthy nations, where midlife health and well-being have improved, especially inNordic Europe. To figure out the root cause, Arizona State University psychologist Frank J. Infurna and his colleagues analyzed survey data from 17 countries. They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices. Their findings, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, point to multiple contributing factors and offer directions for change. Family policy differences mark a key gap between the US and Europe. European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare. This leaves US middle-aged adults, who balance work, child-raising and elder care, facing steadily rising loneliness across generations. Healthcare affordability and income inequality worsen the situation. The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt. Income inequality has also grown in the US, unlike in Europe, and is linked to poorer health and greater loneliness, as it restricts education, employment and social service access. Cultural patterns and weak social safety nets also contribute to the issue. Americans move frequently and live far from extended families, weakening social ties. Later US generations also face financial insecurity, while Europe’s stronger safety nets protect its middle-aged population. Notably, education is losing its protective power: despite higher educational attainment, US middle-aged adults show episodic memory decline, weakened by ongoing stress and health risks. The researchers stress these outcomes are not unavoidable. Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US. 28. What led to America’s midlife crisis according to Infurna’s research? A. Close living space but loose social bonds. B. Heavy life pressures but weak social supports. C. Insufficient education and unfair work opportunities. D. Unhealthy lifestyle and limited access to medical care. 29. What is a major difference in family policies between the US and Europe? A. Europe has cared less about social ties. B. The US has adjusted cash transfer policies. C. The US has broadened parental leave support. D. Europe has increased family benefits spending. 30. What conclusion can be drawn about US healthcare from the text? A. People lack accessible and affordable care. B. It lays emphasis on people’s mental health. C. The government cuts down healthcare spending. D. Medical debt is people’s biggest financial burden. 31. What is the key to the solution of US midlife crisis? A. Individual social involvement. B. Experts’ long-term professional guidance. C. Gradual transformation of cultural patterns. D. Strong government-supported social protections. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国中年人孤独抑郁、健康下滑，研究发现源于生活压力大且社会支持弱，与欧洲福利政策差距明显，需政策完善社会保障。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices.(他们得出结论称，美国真正的中年危机并非源于个人的生活方式选择，而是由于在社会支持不断减弱的情况下，人们需要平衡工作、财务、家庭和健康等方面的关系)”可知，根据英弗纳的研究，导致美国出现“中年危机”的原因是重大的生活压力但缺乏有效的社会支持。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare.(自21世纪初以来，欧洲各国大幅增加了家庭福利支出，而美国的此类支出则基本保持不变，缺乏现金补助、父母假政策支持以及有资金保障的儿童保育服务)”可知，美国和欧洲在家庭政策方面的主要区别是欧洲增加了对家庭的补贴支出。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt.(美国在全球范围内在医疗保健方面的投入最多，但个人却面临着有限的就医渠道和高昂的自付费用，这导致了压力、焦虑以及医疗债务等问题的产生)”可知，人们难以获得便捷且价格合理的医疗服务。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US.(个人的社交活动能够减轻压力，但单靠个人努力是不够的——强有力的、有政策支持的保障体系对于扭转美国中年时期令人担忧的健康状况趋势至关重要)”可知，解决美国中年危机的关键是强大的政府支持下的社会保障体系。故选D。 D When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 32. What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A. To reduce winter heating costs. B. To capture thermal energy from soil. C. To store underground heat for later use. D. To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 33. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A. Phase change makes heat control possible. B. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer. C. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D. Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 34. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A. Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B. Developing test models with improved control. C. Applying the technology to residential sectors. D. Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 35. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员发现可以利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统，介绍了该研究的背景、过程、实际应用以及未来的发展方向。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. (他们研究的核心是一个基于地面的热蓄能器，它可以将剩余的能量储存在地下，并在需求高峰时提供能量。)”可知，KTU研究项目的主要目标是将地下的热量储存起来以备后用。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. (在一次测试中，当土壤被加热到沸点时，会引起相变，即液态水变成蒸汽。“相变可以是一种有效的方式。我们注意到，蒸汽流到达的任何地方，温度都会急剧上升。这意味着能量在移动，是可以控制的。”Ždankus教授说。)”可知，相变使热量控制成为可能。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods. (为了使这些基于地面的存储系统得到广泛应用，研究人员目前正在开发缩小的试点模型，并改进热量分配控制方法。)”可知，研究人员正在开发具有改进控制的测试模型，以实现该系统的实际应用。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy (热能) storage system. (考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员在我们脚下发现了一个创新的解决方案：利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员发现可以利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统，所以“脚下的土地：热能储存的新前沿”可以作为文章标题。故选D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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The work is piling up, pressure is mounting, and deadlines are approaching. How can we still get useful results if we need to make quick judgments and fast decisions? ____36____ Here’s how we can upgrade our minds. Firstly, challenge your key assumptions. Based on past experience, our mind constantly makes assumptions about the world. However, what saves us time and energy can lead to wrong conclusions if they remain unchallenged. Start by working in a team and questioning each other’s assumptions. ____37____ You should also consider alternative explanations. Humans seek explanations, and we prefer the one that comes to mind first. ____38____ It pays to naturally look beyond the most obvious explanations. This is to avoid confirmation bias; when we ignore evidence that goes against a prior belief. A master thinker treats their preferred explanation just as an assumption. ____39____ They simply refer to the main factors influencing how things have been going or how they will go. If we practice watching for driving factors when we have time to think, we’ll be able to identify them more instinctively on occasions when we’re in a hurry. The master thinker prioritizes the factors that impact an issue the most. Finally, consider the overall context. The master thinker considers the circumstances and conditions of an issue. ____40____ A few minutes to orient ourselves and reflect on the situation as a whole can once more save us time down the road. Only then is it time to consider the details and incorporate them back into said picture. A. Moreover, try to focus on key drivers. B. Attempt to think about problems wisely. C. However, that isn’t necessarily the correct one. D. This habit involves looking at the big picture first. E. True expert thinkers know the limitations of their minds. F. This collaborative approach enables your thinking to be challenged. G. Actually, the habits of master thinkers can help in reasoning and making decisions. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. C 39. A 40.

Just give one class a try.” Unwillingly, I agreed, and my nervousness peaked at the first meeting. The art room walls were covered with amazing works — vivid sunsets, lifelike cats, and delicate portraits. I slipped into a corner, gripping my pencil so tight that my knuckles (指关节) whitened. Staring at the blank page, I dared not draw a single line, fearing the students would laugh at my unskilled work and simple ideas. Ms. Lopez noticed my anxiety and sat beside me quietly. “What makes you feel truly happy and relaxed?” she asked softly. “My grandma’s apple orchard (果园),” I replied instantly. “I go there every weekend and love everything about it, especially the old apple tree and the little sparrows.” “Then draw that,” she encouraged. “Forget the rules — just paint how that place makes you feel inside.” Taking a deep breath, I started sketching the old apple tree I loved so much. I drew its thick branches stretching toward the sky and a tiny sparrow perched on one limb, singing happily. When I finished, Ms. Lopez held up my sketch proudly. “This work has so much heart!” she said warmly. The class broke into applause, and Mia, the girl sitting beside me, whispered softly, “The sparrow looks so alive and lovely!” However, I could still see that it was far from perfect with uneven lines. 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: Inspired by their encouragement, I decided to keep painting the orchard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: That weekend, I went to grandma's orchard with my sketchbook _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Inspired by their encouragement, I decided to keep painting the orchard. Every day after school, I would sit in my room, patiently practicing straight and smooth lines and sketching the apple trees, the bees, and the sunset over the orchard. I experimented with watercolors, mixing different shades of green and red. Though my initial attempts were awkward, I remained determined. Ms. Lopez checked on my progress weekly, giving me tips on how to blend colors and add depth. Mia, the girl from the club, even shared her watercolor set with me. With each stroke, I slowly gained confidence, and my fear of being“not creative” faded. That weekend, I went to grandma’s orchard with my sketchbook. It was autumn, and the trees were laden with red apples. Surrounded by the familiar sights and scents I loved so deeply, I just painted what my heart felt. Grandma was busy picking apples when she spotted me painting. She approached silently, not wanting to interrupt. When I finished, I showed her the painting — a vibrant depiction of the orchard with her standing under a big apple tree. It felt so warm and real.Grandma’s eyes lit up with excitement.“This is beautiful,” she said. “You’ve captured our home perfectly.” For the first time, I realized that creativity wasn’t about perfection — it was about capturing and preserving the love and joy in the world around me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的成长为线索展开，讲述了作者因害羞和深深的自我怀疑，起初坚定拒绝加入课后绘画俱乐部，在洛佩兹老师的耐心鼓励下勉强尝试，从第一节课不敢下笔，到在老师引导下描绘奶奶的苹果园，最终在老师和同学的肯定中，逐渐克服自卑、收获自信，并慢慢领悟创造力真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容 “受到他们的鼓励，我决定继续画那片果园。” 可知，第一段可描写作者受到老师和同学的鼓励后，决心坚持描绘苹果园的具体行动。 由第二段首句内容 “那个周末，我带着我的画本去了奶奶的果园。” 可知，第二段可描写作者带着素描本去奶奶果园写生的场景，捕捉果园的具体景象、奶奶的出现与反应。 2.续写线索：受鼓励坚持绘画——日常练习和他人帮助——信心提升——果园写生——奶奶肯定——领悟创造力真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①混合：blend/mix ②获得：gain/acquire/obtain ③走近，接近：approach/come near 情绪类 ①自信：confidence/self-assurance/faith in oneself ②兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Though my initial attempts were awkward, I remained determined.
