【解析】
【原文】W: Martin, how do you like playing a superhero?
M: Overall? It makes me proud, but it really bothered me to stay fit, and keeping the superhero face on is quite tiring too. Yet those challenges don’t even come close to the difficulty of chasing and fighting. You have to make concerted efforts to act as if it’s effortless.
W: I heard you grew up in Canada. How was that?
M: I have many family members there. I went to an international school. But the best thing was the fantastic countryside near my home. I spent most weekends camping in the forest, which was really great.
W: So how did you get into acting?
M: Well, at university, I studied literature, but never acted in any drama. After graduating, I worked as an assistant for a producer, working on a musical comedy. One night, an actor was ill and I was asked to play his part and it just went from there.
W: What would you have done if you hadn’t become an actor?
M: Well, both my parents devote themselves to educational careers, even so it hardly interested me. My older brother owns a company, and he said that I could have a job in his office. I guess that’s what I’d probably have done.

【原文】 World Sleep Day was organized since 2008. It is held on March 21 every year. It aims to highlight the importance of good sleep and raise awareness of how sleep determines our everyday lives. Now, a world first study from the University of South Australia shows that increased physical activities during the day improve sleep quality and reduce tiredness, emphasizing the importance of exercise for a good night’s rest. The study found that children and adults with higher levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity have less troubled sleep and better sleep quality. In general, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that on work days, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep. For teenagers, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However, 27% of people throughout the world have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders, and most people know little about their danger. So for our good life and work, it’s necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.
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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The fast increase in air humidity due to rainfall can result in lower temperature and wet weather. It is strongly advised not to take off the thick coats too early, especially the elderly and children. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful to people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological (气象) science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, and the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying. “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
21. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common?
A. Higher air temperature. B. More animal activities.
C. More farming activities. D. Less frequent thundering.
22. What can we learn about the day of the Spring Equinox?
A. The sun starts moving towards the south.
B. The duration of day and night is exactly the same.
C. The Southern Hemisphere sees a gradual increase in daylight.
D. Standing an egg upright will make people wealthy.
23. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks?
A. Rain Water. B. Awakening of Insects. C. Spring Equinox. D. Grain Rain.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了雨水、惊蛰、春分、谷雨四个节气的特点与相关习俗。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Awakening of Insects部分中的“It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. (这是春季农业活动的关键时期。)”以及Grain Rain部分中的““Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. (“雨生百谷”,这一说法表明这一时期的降雨对农作物生长至关重要,人们也在田间忙碌劳作。)”可知,“惊蛰”和“谷雨”的共同之处在于它们都是农业活动的关键时期,即两个节气都有更多农事活动。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Spring Equinox部分中的“Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. (春分标志着白天和黑夜的长度相等。)”可知,在春分这一天,昼夜时长完全相同。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据Grain Rain部分中的“With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent. (由于土壤干燥,大气不稳定,大风和沙尘暴变得更加频繁。)”可知,谷雨时节风沙大,人们最可能需要戴口罩防护。故选D。
B
I woke at 4 am to a pitch-black hostel room, my eight roommates all still sound asleep at the early hour. I tiptoed out to change, stuffed a cheese roll in my mouth, and dragged the suitcase holding a year of my life to the Kaikoura dolphin-watching tour office. With just a few hours of sleep and more adrenaline (肾上腺素) than I had jumping out of a plane, I double-checked my diving equipment in a rush.
The moment we dove off the water, I was shocked awake. No amount of coffee, tea, or sugar has ever given me such an intense wake-up. It turns out, the ocean is freezing at 5 am, before the sun has risen and in early-spring. Don’t be scared off by the temperature, though, because 5 am is when the dolphins are most playful! For five seconds, I struggled to breathe through the cold. Then, the wetsuit flooded with water and I was warm.
A moment later, I was face to face with a wild dusky dolphin, one of the smallest species of dolphin in the world! As I swam alongside it awkwardly, the dolphin gracefully spun on the surface while creating elegant spirals beneath me. I made strange Dory-esque whale noises to draw the attention of more members, including a tiny baby dolphin no bigger than my calf. He seemed most interested in the strange-looking thing that kept getting trapped in her own “flippers (鳍)”.
The sun rose, warming my back as I continued to struggle among the most elegant animals in the ocean. The practice of swimming with wild dolphins is banned in the North Island, where the species of Hector’s dolphins are in decline. But in Kaikoura, the practice is thriving and actually helping to restore the dolphin populations. By supporting this adventurous experience, you’re supporting dolphin conservation.
24. How did the author feel when she headed for the tour office?
A. Cautious. B. Excited. C. Anxious. D. Hesitant.
25. Why did the author become wide awake suddenly?
A. Because the diving was scary. B. Because the water was bitterly cold.
C. Because the dolphins were most playful. D. Because the coffee and tea were strong enough.
26. What do we know about the wild dusky dolphin?
A. They are strange-looking. B. They are difficult to approach.
C. They are the smallest dolphins on earth. D. They are keen on the whale noises.
27. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A dolphin-watching tour in North Island. B. A tough decision on dolphin conservation.
C. An adventurous encounter with wild dolphins. D. A wild dolphin species threatened by humans.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者清晨前往凯库拉与野生暗色斑纹海豚同游的冒险经历,以及该活动对海豚保护的意义。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“With just a few hours of sleep and more adrenaline (肾上腺素) than I had jumping out of a plane, I double-checked my diving equipment in a rush. (只睡了几个小时,肾上腺素比跳伞时还要高,我匆忙地反复检查潜水装备)”可知,作者充满肾上腺素,心情十分激动。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It turns out, the ocean is freezing at 5 am, before the sun has risen and in early-spring. Don’t be scared off by the temperature, though, because 5 am is when the dolphins are most playful!(事实证明,初春凌晨5点太阳还没升起时,海水冰冷刺骨。不过别被气温吓退,因为凌晨5点是海豚最活泼好动的时候!)”可知,海豚在此时最为活跃,让作者瞬间清醒。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I made strange Dory-esque whale noises to draw the attention of more members, including a tiny baby dolphin no bigger than my calf.(我发出奇怪的类似多莉的鲸叫声来吸引更多海豚的注意,其中包括一只还没我的小腿长的海豚宝宝)”可知,野生暗色斑纹海豚对这类鲸叫声表现出兴趣。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“I tiptoed out to change, stuffed a cheese roll in my mouth, and dragged the suitcase holding a year of my life to the Kaikoura dolphin-watching tour office. (我蹑手蹑脚地出去换了衣服,嘴里塞了一个奶酪卷,拖着装着我一年来全部行李的行李箱,来到了凯库拉观海豚旅行社的办公室)”、第三段中的“A moment later, I was face to face with a wild dusky dolphin, one of the smallest species of dolphin in the world! (片刻之后,我与一只野生暗色斑纹海豚面对面相遇了——它是世界上体型最小的海豚种类之一!)”以及第四段中的“The practice of swimming with wild dolphins is banned in the North Island, where the species of Hector’s dolphins are in decline. (在北岛,与野生海豚同游的行为是被禁止的,因为那里的赫氏海豚数量正在减少)”等内容可知,文章全程记录了作者在凯库拉与野生海豚相遇、同游的冒险体验,因此“一次与野生海豚的冒险邂逅”最能概括全文核心。故选C项。
C
Summer tomatoes are so filled with promise: the red color; the grassy tomato-leaf smell; the expectation of a mouthful of sweet-salty tomato dishes. But supermarket tomato after supermarket tomato does little more than disappointment. How can a fruit with so much potential constantly taste slightly juicy at best and a globe of cardboard at worst?
We know that modern tomatoes sold at the supermarket are picked green and grown for pest resistance, shipping, and shelf life-and that the agriculture industry creates produce designed for profit, not flavor. Are these the factors to blame for the tomato’s poor taste?
But even when allowed to ripen (成熟) before they are harvested and shipped with great care, modern tomatoes are still tasteless. When researchers looked into this tomato matter, they uncovered a fascinating genetic cause for the fruit’s dullness. What to blame is a gene mutation (基因突变) discovered accidentally around 70 years ago, onto which tomato growers quickly relied. In fact, now the mutation has been deliberately grown into nearly all modern tomatoes.
Why? It makes them a uniform and attractively red when ripe. Unfortunately for tomato lovers far and wide, the red-making mutation stops the activeness of an important gene responsible for producing the sugar and smell that are essential for a good smelling and flavorful tomato, as reported in the paper, which was published in the journal Science. When the researchers “turned on” the gene that had stopped working, the fruit had 20% more sugar and 20 — 30% more carotenoids (胡萝卜素) when ripe. Yet the fruit’s non-uniform greenish color suggest that mainstream growers will not be following suit anytime soon.
However, for anyone with a nearby farmer’s market, a supermarket that offers traditional produce, or a garden in the back, there is another choice instead of cardboard-flavored tomatoes. Traditional tomatoes and wild species have not had the essence of tomatoes sucked out of them by selective growing-so shop for those or grow them yourself. They may not look like the Disney version of a perfect fruit, but they actually taste like tomatoes.
28. Why is a question raised at the end of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion from comparison.
C. To encourage readers to take action.
D. To express disappointment at supermarket tomatoes.
29. Why are modern tomatoes tasteless?
A. They have ripened when picked.
B. They are affected by gene mutation.
C. They are kept on the shelf for too long.
D. They are treated with chemicals for shipping.
30. What’s a disadvantage of the tomatoes the researchers grew according to paragraph 4?
A. Taste. B. Color. C. Size. D. Production.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional tomatoes?
A. Critical. B. Unconcerned. C. Curious. D. Favorable.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了现代西红柿虽然看起来好看但吃起来却乏味的原因,即:基因突变。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Summer tomatoes are so filled with promise: the red color; the grassy tomato-leaf smell; the expectation of a mouthful of sweet-salty tomato dishes. But supermarket tomato after supermarket tomato does little more than disappointment. How can a fruit with so much potential constantly taste slightly juicy at best and a globe of cardboard at worst?”(夏天的西红柿充满了希望:红色;番茄叶的青草味;期待一口甜咸的番茄菜。但是一个接一个的超市里的番茄带给我们的只是失望。一种潜力如此巨大的水果怎么能一直吃起来最好的是一点点多汁,最坏的是一个纸板球呢?)可知,第一段的最后提出的问题是为什么西红柿最好的情况是有一点点汁,最坏的情况是像纸板圆球一样索然无味,这个问题是文章谈论的主题,下文围绕这个问题展开。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“What to blame is a gene mutation (基因突变) discovered accidentally around 70 years ago, onto which tomato growers quickly relied.”(罪魁祸首是大约70年前偶然发现的一种基因突变,番茄种植者很快就依赖于这种突变。)可知,现代番茄无味是因为它们受到基因突变的影响。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Yet the fruit’s non-uniform greenish color suggest that mainstream growers will not be following suit anytime soon.”(然而,这种水果不均匀的绿色表明,主流种植者短期内不会效仿。)可知,根据第4段,研究人员种植的西红柿的缺点是颜色不均匀。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Traditional tomatoes and wild species have not had the essence of tomatoes sucked out of them by selective growing-so shop for those or grow them yourself. They may not look like the Disney version of a perfect fruit, but they actually taste like tomatoes.”(传统的西红柿和野生的西红柿并没有被选择性的种植吸收掉西红柿的精华,所以去商店购买或者自己种植。它们可能看起来不像迪士尼版的完美水果,但它们实际上尝起来像西红柿。)可知,在文章最后一段中作者鼓励人们购买传统西红柿,说它们虽然看起来没有迪士尼电影里的西红柿那么好看,但它们的口感是真正西红柿的口感,由此可见作者是喜欢传统西红柿的。故选D项。
D
One of the most famous experiments in social psychology is the “marshmallow (棉花糖) test,” in which a child is presented with a marshmallow and promised a second if they can resist eating the first for fifteen minutes. The ability to delay satisfaction has long been linked to future success. However, in his deeply reflective new book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.”
Fisher’s central claim is that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking” mindset — the ability to plan for a future they would never personally see, much like the medieval builders who started grand structures knowing they would take centuries to complete. Today, however, the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle, quarterly financial reports, and the instant pleasure of social media have shortened our mental horizons. We are, as Fisher puts it, “time-limited immigrants” who are consuming the resources of the future to satisfy the temporary desires of the present.
The book is not merely a critical report; it is a fascinating exploration of how we might retrain our brains to think in longer periods. Fisher introduces readers to “The Long Now Foundation,” which is building a clock designed to tick for 10,000 years, and explores the legal concepts of “intergenerational justice.” He suggests that we should treat future generations as “unborn citizens” with their own rights, rather than just abstract concepts.
While Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research is thorough, some readers might find his optimism slightly disconnected from the harsh realities of modern politics. It is one thing to appreciate the beauty of a 10,000-year clock; it is quite another to persuade a politician to prioritize a fifty-year climate goal over next year’s pressure. Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call. It challenges us to look beyond our own lives and consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be.
32. What is the main problem of modern society according to Richard Fisher?
A. People lack the curiosity to explore the unknown.
B. People are highly focused on immediate interests.
C. People have lost the ability to build grand structures.
D. People are struggling with social media addiction.
33. What is the characteristic of “cathedral thinking” as described in the text?
A. The ability to quickly adapt to the 24-hour news cycle.
B. The skill of balancing quarterly reports with social media use.
C. The willingness to invest in the well-being of future generations.
D. The preference for building physical structures over digital ones.
34. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards Fisher’s book?
A. Critical of its lack of scientific evidence and samples.
B. Enthusiastic about its political influence.
C. Doubtful about the author’s research methods.
D. Supportive of its main message despite some concerns.
35. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Regaining Our Future: A Review of The Long View
B. The Secret to Future Success: The Marshmallow Test
C. Why Cathedral Thinking is Outdated Today
D. Richard Fisher: The Man Who Built a 10,000-Year Clock
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社会科学家理查德·费舍尔的新书《远见》中关于现代社会缺乏长远规划的观点及其启示。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, in his deeply reflective new book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.”(然而,社会科学家理查德·费舍尔在其发人深省的新书《远见》中指出,现代社会在全球范围内未能通过这一考验,陷入了危险的“活在当下”的陷阱。)”可知,理查德·费舍尔认为现代社会的主要问题是人们过于关注眼前利益。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Fisher’s central claim is that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking” mindset — the ability to plan for a future they would never personally see, much like the medieval builders who started grand structures knowing they would take centuries to complete.(费舍尔的核心观点是,我们的祖先拥有一种“大教堂思维”心态,即能够为他们永远无法亲眼看到的未来做规划,就像中世纪的建筑师们,他们开始建造宏伟的建筑,却知道这些建筑需要几个世纪才能完成。)”以及第三段中“He suggests that we should treat future generations as “unborn citizens” with their own rights, rather than just abstract concepts.(他建议我们应该把后代视为拥有自身权利的“未出生公民”,而不仅仅是抽象的概念。)”可知,“大教堂思维”的特点是愿意为后代的福祉进行投资。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research is thorough, some readers might find his optimism slightly disconnected from the harsh realities of modern politics.(尽管费舍尔的写作优雅,研究深入,但一些读者可能会觉得他的乐观与现代政治的严酷现实有些脱节。)”以及“Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call. It challenges us to look beyond our own lives and consider what kind of ‘good ancestor’ we want to be.(尽管如此,《远见》是一个必要的警钟。它挑战我们超越自己的生活,思考我们想成为什么样的“好祖先”。 )”可知,作者对费舍尔的书持支持态度,尽管有一些担忧。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是结合第一段中“However, in his deeply reflective new book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.”(然而,社会科学家理查德·费舍尔在其发人深省的新书《远见》中指出,现代社会在全球范围内未能通过这一考验,陷入了危险的“活在当下”的陷阱。)”可知,文章主要介绍了社会科学家理查德·费舍尔的新书《远见》,书中指出现代社会缺乏长远规划,并呼吁人们重新思考如何为后代创造更好的未来。故A选项“Regaining Our Future: A Review of The Long View(重获我们的未来:《远见》书评)”最符合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Watching a film critically is a skill worth developing because it helps you learn what makes a film good according to your own tastes. What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess? ____36____ In this article, we take a look at how you can watch films more critically.
Give the film your undivided attention at least once. Filmmakers accept that they won’t always have their audience’s complete attention. Characters’ names might be repeated to make sure that you’ve heard them. Significant plot points will be highlighted with incidental music so that you focus. But for the most part, a filmmaker will hope that you’ll be focusing on the film rather than having one eye on your friend’s party photos. ____37____
Consider the themes the film explored. Picking out the themes and assessing how the film treats them is a central point of film criticism. A film’s theme could be something quite unexpected; for instance, it might be an uncomfortable allegory (寓言). ____38____ For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. Does it breathe new life into the story and take it in an interesting direction? Or does it come across as an unimaginative copy of someone else’s better idea?
Analyze sound, lighting and production. There are some aspects of a film that you seldom notice unless they go wrong. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office. ____39____ You might consider how the choice of costume brightens a character, or how well-judged lighting decisions make a scene just right.
____40____ It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. Try to work out why your opinion might differ from other people’s. It could be that a film’s sense of humor agrees with your own, or that a film reflects your life experiences.
A. Don’t forget that it’s all subjective.
B. Think about why you did or didn’t enjoy it.
C. Try, just once, to watch the film as they intended.
D. Try to train yourself to see these aspects of a film every time.
E. How was the film constructed to provide a new insight into the theme?
F. Why do some films greatly excite people while others send people to sleep?
G. You can also consider if the film has drawn any inspiration from other source material.
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. G 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种提高电影批判性观赏能力的方法。
【36题详解】
上文“What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess? (是什么让一位导演的早期电影非常有趣,而后期作品却一团糟?)”提出关于导演早期和后期电影差异的疑问,下文“In this article, we take a look at how you can watch films more critically. (在这篇文章中,我们将探讨如何更有批判性地观看电影)”开始阐述如何更批判性地观看电影,空处承上启下,需要提出一个与电影相关且能引出下文观看电影方法的问题,F选项“为什么有些电影让人非常兴奋,而有些电影却让人昏昏欲睡?”符合语境,通过进一步提出关于电影不同效果的问题,自然地引出下文对批判性观看电影方法的介绍。故选F。
【37题详解】
上文“But for the most part, a filmmaker will hope that you’ll be focusing on the film rather than having one eye on your friend’s party photos. (但大多数情况下,电影制作人希望你能专注于电影,而不是一边看朋友聚会的照片)”说明电影制作人希望观众专注看电影,空处总结该段建议,C选项“试着,就这一次,按照他们期望的那样去看电影。”中的“watch the film as they intended”与上文“filmmaker will hope that you’ll be focusing on the film”相呼应,承接上文,进一步强调按照电影制作人的期望去看电影,符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
上文“A film’s theme could be something quite unexpected; for instance, it might be an uncomfortable allegory (寓言). (电影的主题可能是相当出乎意料的;例如,它可能是一个令人不安的寓言。)”提到电影主题可能出乎意料,下文“For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. (例如,《狮子王》借鉴了《哈姆雷特》的情节)”举例说明电影可能借鉴其他素材,G选项“你也可以考虑这部电影是否从其他素材中汲取了灵感。”中的“drawn any inspiration from other source material”与下文例子相呼应,符合语境,起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
【39题详解】
上文“Analyze sound, lighting and production. There are some aspects of a film that you seldom notice unless they go wrong. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office. (分析声音、灯光和制作。电影中有一些方面,除非出了问题,否则你很少会注意到。你可能只有在音量完全不对、配乐盖过了对白时,才会注意到声音。同样地,你可能只有在画面亮得像是发生在牙医诊所里时,才会注意到灯光)”提到声音和灯光等电影元素通常只有在出错时才会被注意到,D选项“试着每次看电影时都训练自己去注意这些方面。”中的“see these aspects of a film every time”与上文的“sound, lighting and production”相呼应,承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
下文“It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. (人们很容易陷入这样的陷阱,认为有客观的好坏之分。但是如果你发现自己喜欢一部别人似乎不喜欢的电影,这并不一定意味着你的品味有问题)”强调了主观感受的重要性,空处概括该段核心观点,A选项“别忘了这都是主观的。”点明观影评价具有主观性,引出下文关于电影评价主观性的阐述,概括了本段主旨,适合作为段首句。故选A。

【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气用法。句意:没有你及时的帮助,我们不可能提前完成任务。“Without your timely help”表示一种假设的情况,即“如果没有你的帮助”,是对过去事实的虚拟,表示“本不能做某事(而做了)”用couldn’t have done,故选A。
57. The professor recommended that every student ______ reference books before writing the paper.
A. consults B. consulted C. consult D. would consult
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:教授建议每个学生在写论文之前都要查阅参考书。在“recommend(建议)”后的宾语从句中,谓语动词需用“should + 动词原形”的虚拟语气形式,其中should可省略。因此,空处应填动词原形consult。故选C。
58. If he ______ my advice, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation now.
A. had taken B. took C. should take D. has taken
【答案】A
【解析】

59. I wish I ______ so much time playing computer games last weekend.
A. didn’t waste B. haven’t wasted C. wouldn’t waste D. hadn’t wasted
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:我真希望上周末没浪费那么多时间玩电脑游戏。句中时间状语last weekend表明是对过去事情的虚拟,且wish后接从句表示“但愿当初没……”,对过去虚拟要用had done结构,此处为否定句。故选D。

【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:无论是谁救了那个溺水的男孩,都值得表扬。A. Who谁(引导特指的名词性从句);B. Whoever无论是谁(引导泛指的名词性从句);C. No matter who无论谁(只能引导让步状语从句);D. Anyone任何人(不能引导从句)。分析句子结构可知,此处引导主语从句,从句缺主语且表示“泛指任何人”,应用whoever。故选B项。
61. ______ you understand the rule, you will find it easy to work out the problem.
A. Though B. Unless C. Once D. Until
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查连词辨析。句意:一旦你理解了这个规则,你就会发现解决这个问题很容易。A. Though虽然,尽管;B. Unless除非,如果不;C. Once一旦;D. Until直到……。根据“you understand the rule”和“you will find it easy to work out the problem”可知,理解规则是解决问题的前提,一旦达成前提,就会出现后续结果,once符合语境。故选C。
62. Last month, part of the southeast of China was struck by floods, from ______ effects the people are still suffering.
A. that B. whose C. those D. what
【答案】B
【解析】

63. The news reporters hurried to the airport, only ______ the film stars had already left.
A. telling B. being told C. to tell D. to be told
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式和被动语态。句意:新闻记者们匆忙赶到机场,结果却被告知那些电影明星已经离开了。由the film stars had already left可知,此处表示“却被告知那些电影明星已经离开了”,空格处用“only+不定式”表示出乎意料的结果,tell与其逻辑主语The news reporters之间是被动关系,记者是被告知,因此空格处用不定式的被动语态to be told。故选D。
64. The old buildings in the neighborhood will be ______ to make room for a new park.
A. torn B. torn down C. torn off D. torn apart
【答案】B
【解析】

考查动词时态和语态。句意:据国家考古中心研究员宋建忠证实,沉船和相关文物的精确位置是通过使用海洋学技术和水下调查确定的,其中包括载人潜水器,全年进行了41次潜水。分析句子,设空处使用动词作谓语。句中The precise locations of the shipwrecks and the associated cultural relics与determine之间是被动关系,同时句子表述过去事实,故使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were determined。
【82题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。句中researcher为可数名词,设空处应该使用冠词,此处表示泛指,且researcher首字母为辅音音素。故填a。
【83题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:明朝第一号沉船,长37米,宽11米,出土了543件文物,表明它从福建或广东航行到马六甲等东南亚贸易中心。分析句子,句中has yielded为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,此处The Ming Dynasty’s No.1 shipwreck与measure之间是主动关系,measure意为“(重/长/宽)量度为……”,此时该动词为系动词,无被动,此时measure的主动形式含有被动意义,用现在分词作定语。故填measuring。
【84题详解】
考查介词。句意:二号沉船可以追溯到弘治皇帝统治时期,长约21米,宽约8米。句中date from为固定短语,意为“追溯于,起始于”。故填from。
【85题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其中包括瓷器和陶器在内,共发现了36件文物。分析句子,句中have been found为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词。此处porcelain和pottery与include之间是被动关系,故使用过去分词表示被动作定语。故填included。

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The fast increase in air humidity due to rainfall can result in lower temperature and wet weather. It is strongly advised not to take off the thick coats too early, especially the elderly and children. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful to people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological (气象) science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, and the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying. “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
21. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common?
A. Higher air temperature. B. More animal activities.
C. More farming activities. D. Less frequent thundering.
22. What can we learn about the day of the Spring Equinox?
A. The sun starts moving towards the south.
B. The duration of day and night is exactly the same.
C. The Southern Hemisphere sees a gradual increase in daylight.
D. Standing an egg upright will make people wealthy.
23. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks?
A. Rain Water. B. Awakening of Insects. C. Spring Equinox. D. Grain Rain.
B
I woke at 4 am to a pitch-black hostel room, my eight roommates all still sound asleep at the early hour. I tiptoed out to change, stuffed a cheese roll in my mouth, and dragged the suitcase holding a year of my life to the Kaikoura dolphin-watching tour office. With just a few hours of sleep and more adrenaline (肾上腺素) than I had jumping out of a plane, I double-checked my diving equipment in a rush.
The moment we dove off the water, I was shocked awake. No amount of coffee, tea, or sugar has ever given me such an intense wake-up. It turns out, the ocean is freezing at 5 am, before the sun has risen and in early-spring. Don’t be scared off by the temperature, though, because 5 am is when the dolphins are most playful! For five seconds, I struggled to breathe through the cold. Then, the wetsuit flooded with water and I was warm.
A moment later, I was face to face with a wild dusky dolphin, one of the smallest species of dolphin in the world! As I swam alongside it awkwardly, the dolphin gracefully spun on the surface while creating elegant spirals beneath me. I made strange Dory-esque whale noises to draw the attention of more members, including a tiny baby dolphin no bigger than my calf. He seemed most interested in the strange-looking thing that kept getting trapped in her own “flippers (鳍)”.
The sun rose, warming my back as I continued to struggle among the most elegant animals in the ocean. The practice of swimming with wild dolphins is banned in the North Island, where the species of Hector’s dolphins are in decline. But in Kaikoura, the practice is thriving and actually helping to restore the dolphin populations. By supporting this adventurous experience, you’re supporting dolphin conservation.
24. How did the author feel when she headed for the tour office?
A. Cautious. B. Excited. C. Anxious. D. Hesitant.
25. Why did the author become wide awake suddenly?
A. Because the diving was scary. B. Because the water was bitterly cold.
C. Because the dolphins were most playful. D. Because the coffee and tea were strong enough.
26. What do we know about the wild dusky dolphin?
A. They are strange-looking. B. They are difficult to approach.
C. They are the smallest dolphins on earth. D. They are keen on the whale noises.
27. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A dolphin-watching tour in North Island. B. A tough decision on dolphin conservation.
C. An adventurous encounter with wild dolphins. D. A wild dolphin species threatened by humans.
C
Summer tomatoes are so filled with promise: the red color; the grassy tomato-leaf smell; the expectation of a mouthful of sweet-salty tomato dishes. But supermarket tomato after supermarket tomato does little more than disappointment. How can a fruit with so much potential constantly taste slightly juicy at best and a globe of cardboard at worst?
We know that modern tomatoes sold at the supermarket are picked green and grown for pest resistance, shipping, and shelf life-and that the agriculture industry creates produce designed for profit, not flavor. Are these the factors to blame for the tomato’s poor taste?
But even when allowed to ripen (成熟) before they are harvested and shipped with great care, modern tomatoes are still tasteless. When researchers looked into this tomato matter, they uncovered a fascinating genetic cause for the fruit’s dullness. What to blame is a gene mutation (基因突变) discovered accidentally around 70 years ago, onto which tomato growers quickly relied. In fact, now the mutation has been deliberately grown into nearly all modern tomatoes.
Why? It makes them a uniform and attractively red when ripe. Unfortunately for tomato lovers far and wide, the red-making mutation stops the activeness of an important gene responsible for producing the sugar and smell that are essential for a good smelling and flavorful tomato, as reported in the paper, which was published in the journal Science. When the researchers “turned on” the gene that had stopped working, the fruit had 20% more sugar and 20 — 30% more carotenoids (胡萝卜素) when ripe. Yet the fruit’s non-uniform greenish color suggest that mainstream growers will not be following suit anytime soon.
However, for anyone with a nearby farmer’s market, a supermarket that offers traditional produce, or a garden in the back, there is another choice instead of cardboard-flavored tomatoes. Traditional tomatoes and wild species have not had the essence of tomatoes sucked out of them by selective growing-so shop for those or grow them yourself. They may not look like the Disney version of a perfect fruit, but they actually taste like tomatoes.
28. Why is a question raised at the end of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion from comparison.
C. To encourage readers to take action.
D. To express disappointment at supermarket tomatoes.
29. Why are modern tomatoes tasteless?
A. They have ripened when picked.
B. They are affected by gene mutation.
C. They are kept on the shelf for too long.
D. They are treated with chemicals for shipping.
30. What’s a disadvantage of the tomatoes the researchers grew according to paragraph 4?
A. Taste. B. Color. C. Size. D. Production.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional tomatoes?
A. Critical. B. Unconcerned. C. Curious. D. Favorable.
D
One of the most famous experiments in social psychology is the “marshmallow (棉花糖) test,” in which a child is presented with a marshmallow and promised a second if they can resist eating the first for fifteen minutes. The ability to delay satisfaction has long been linked to future success. However, in his deeply reflective new book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.”
Fisher’s central claim is that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking” mindset — the ability to plan for a future they would never personally see, much like the medieval builders who started grand structures knowing they would take centuries to complete. Today, however, the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle, quarterly financial reports, and the instant pleasure of social media have shortened our mental horizons. We are, as Fisher puts it, “time-limited immigrants” who are consuming the resources of the future to satisfy the temporary desires of the present.
The book is not merely a critical report; it is a fascinating exploration of how we might retrain our brains to think in longer periods. Fisher introduces readers to “The Long Now Foundation,” which is building a clock designed to tick for 10,000 years, and explores the legal concepts of “intergenerational justice.” He suggests that we should treat future generations as “unborn citizens” with their own rights, rather than just abstract concepts.
While Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research is thorough, some readers might find his optimism slightly disconnected from the harsh realities of modern politics. It is one thing to appreciate the beauty of a 10,000-year clock; it is quite another to persuade a politician to prioritize a fifty-year climate goal over next year’s pressure. Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call. It challenges us to look beyond our own lives and consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be.
32. What is the main problem of modern society according to Richard Fisher?
A. People lack the curiosity to explore the unknown.
B. People are highly focused on immediate interests.
C. People have lost the ability to build grand structures.
D. People are struggling with social media addiction.
33. What is the characteristic of “cathedral thinking” as described in the text?
A. The ability to quickly adapt to the 24-hour news cycle.
B. The skill of balancing quarterly reports with social media use.
C. The willingness to invest in the well-being of future generations.
D. The preference for building physical structures over digital ones.
34. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards Fisher’s book?
A. Critical of its lack of scientific evidence and samples.
B. Enthusiastic about its political influence.
C. Doubtful about the author’s research methods.
D. Supportive of its main message despite some concerns.
35. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Regaining Our Future: A Review of The Long View
B. The Secret to Future Success: The Marshmallow Test
C. Why Cathedral Thinking is Outdated Today
D. Richard Fisher: The Man Who Built a 10,000-Year Clock

Watching a film critically is a skill worth developing because it helps you learn what makes a film good according to your own tastes. What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess? ____36____ In this article, we take a look at how you can watch films more critically.
Give the film your undivided attention at least once. Filmmakers accept that they won’t always have their audience’s complete attention. Characters’ names might be repeated to make sure that you’ve heard them. Significant plot points will be highlighted with incidental music so that you focus. But for the most part, a filmmaker will hope that you’ll be focusing on the film rather than having one eye on your friend’s party photos. ____37____
Consider the themes the film explored. Picking out the themes and assessing how the film treats them is a central point of film criticism. A film’s theme could be something quite unexpected; for instance, it might be an uncomfortable allegory (寓言). ____38____ For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. Does it breathe new life into the story and take it in an interesting direction? Or does it come across as an unimaginative copy of someone else’s better idea?
Analyze sound, lighting and production. There are some aspects of a film that you seldom notice unless they go wrong. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office. ____39____ You might consider how the choice of costume brightens a character, or how well-judged lighting decisions make a scene just right.
____40____ It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. Try to work out why your opinion might differ from other people’s. It could be that a film’s sense of humor agrees with your own, or that a film reflects your life experiences.
A. Don’t forget that it’s all subjective.
B. Think about why you did or didn’t enjoy it.
C. Try, just once, to watch the film as they intended.
D. Try to train yourself to see these aspects of a film every time.
E. How was the film constructed to provide a new insight into the theme?
F. Why do some films greatly excite people while others send people to sleep?
G. You can also consider if the film has drawn any inspiration from other source material.
