【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Pricing conditions部分“4 flights from Nouméa to 2 different destinations among the Loyalty islands(从努美阿出发的4趟航班,分别飞往忠诚群岛上的两个不同目的地)”并结合地图可知,一共4段航班,从努美阿出发,前往忠诚群岛的2个不同目的地,即两个往返(共四段航程:努美阿→目的地1→努美阿→目的地2→努美阿)。故D选项“努美阿→利富→努美阿→乌维阿→努美阿”符合通行证的要求。故选D。

B
A few years ago, I was in the west Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles. On seeing an unknow sparrow dash into some brush I decided to go in after it, eventually getting myself deep into the bushes and quite a distance from the trail. Suddenly, I heard a loud crashing in the nearby thick bushes and was aware of being in the presence of a large, unseen animal. This was no deer; it had to be a puma. Despite my excitement I clicked into self-preservation mode. I had to retreat. I certainly didn’t want to be a headline in the LA Times: “British tourist attacked by puma in Franklin Canyon.”
Had I been in nearby Griffith Park I could have claimed a brush with P-22, the “celebrity puma” that was the most famous of its kind in Los Angeles. P-22 had somehow managed to cross two potentially deadly freeways to settle in Griffith Park. The puma was first spotted in 2012 when his image was taken by a camera trap, and his fame erupted once he was featured within the pages of National Geographic. But he was trapped in an urban green oasis with no chance of meeting a mate. Despite wandering for 10 years his survival echoed the problems that these cats and other wildlife face in urban areas.
Los Angeles is one of only two mega-cities where large cats occur within the bustling city limits, and the animals have adapted to become increasingly nocturnal (夜间的) in order to avoid people. Encounters are rare and there have been no deaths to date. But there are threats to their existence. The urban habitat is divided due to development and road building, which is the main reason that the animals meet untimely ends, under the wheels of vehicles.
Additionally, the cats are trapped by freeways and unable to disperse, limiting their gene-pool. The widespread use of rodenticides (灭鼠剂) has come at a cost, with the animals absorbing them via their prey. This is the fate that happened to the beloved P-22.
4. How did the author react to the loud crashing?
A. He regretted the walk.
B. He took a closer look.
C. He backed away for safety.
D. He identified the puma as P-22.
5. What do we know about National Geographic in paragraph 2?
A. It made the puma’s name.
B. It proved the puma’s existence.
C. It revealed the puma’s situation.
D. It claimed the puma’s ownership.
6. What is the root cause of accidental deaths of pumas in Los Angeles?
A. The abuse of rat poison.
B. The habitat destruction.
C. The encounter with humans.
D. The heavy traffic on freeways.
7. What does the underlined word “disperse” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Pass by. B. Climb up.
C. Live on. D. Spread out.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者偶遇美洲狮的经历,并由此引出对洛杉矶地区美洲狮生存现状的描述,包括它们的栖息地、面临的威胁以及生存困境等。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Suddenly, I heard a loud crashing in the nearby thick bushes and was aware of being in the presence of a large, unseen animal. This was no deer; it had to be a puma. Despite my excitement I clicked into self-preservation mode. I had to retreat.(突然,我听到附近浓密的灌木丛中传来一声巨响,意识到身边有一个看不见的大型动物。这不是鹿,一定是美洲狮。尽管我很兴奋,但我还是进入了自我保护模式。我必须撤退)”可知,作者听到巨响后意识到可能是美洲狮,为了自身安全选择了后退。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The puma was first spotted in 2012 when his image was taken by a camera trap, and his fame erupted once he was featured within the pages of National Geographic.(这只美洲狮最早是在2012年被相机陷阱拍到,而当它出现在《国家地理》杂志上时,它的名声大噪)”可知,美洲狮因登上《国家地理》杂志而声名大噪,即《国家地理》杂志让美洲狮出了名。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The urban habitat is divided due to development and road building, which is the main reason that the animals meet untimely ends, under the wheels of vehicles.(由于城市发展和道路建设,城市栖息地被分割,这是动物在车轮下意外死亡的主要原因)”可知,城市发展和道路建设导致栖息地被破坏,这是美洲狮意外死亡的根本原因。故选B项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Additionally, the cats are trapped by freeways and unable to disperse, limiting their gene-pool.(此外,这些猫被高速公路困住,无法disperse,限制了它们的基因库)”可知,这些猫被高速公路困住,因此无法自由活动,进而限制了它们的基因库。由此可推知,disperse意为“分散,散开”,与D项“Spread out.(散开)”意思相同。故选D项。
C
Today, only around 10 percent of people around the world are left-handed. The overwhelming preference for being right-handed is global. It is tempting to think that this might arise from a commercial culture wanting an all-the-same market for its products. It is far more economical to only make right-handed golf club sets. Some also suggest that right-handedness is convenient when it comes to writing left to right, but right-handedness is also dominant in countries where the language is written right to left.
So, what are the implications of left- and right-handedness?
We will start with a shipwreck. The Mary Rose was sunk in a battle in 1545. The crew’s bodies were in surprisingly good condition. Just as in our times, right-handedness would have been more dominant among the crew because left-handedness was associated with evil spirits and,therefore, strongly discouraged. The researchers analysed the bodies and found that there were more age-related changes in the right collarbones (锁骨) of the crew than in the left collarbones. Probably, a lifetime of using one hand over another will impact how your skeleton changes.
Beyond physical traces, your handedness influences how you interact with your world. You probably think of yourself as captain of your soul and think that we consciously determine what we do in this life. In reality, however, your handedness might influence the decisions that you make. Publishing their findings in the journal Psychological Science, researchers conducted a series of experiments and found that when participants were asked which of two products to buy,people overwhelmingly chose the product that appeared on the side of their preferred hand. Given the predominance of right-handers in the world, that’s why advertisers prefer to have their ads on the right-hand page.
The theory goes that people like things better when they are easier to notice and interact with.Lefthanders interact more easily with things that are on their left. At least some of your decisions in life come down to what is easiest and most fluent, and that is often determined by your dominant hand.
8. Why does the author mention writing right to left?
A. To prove a theory. B. To contradict an idea.
C. To present an example. D. To clarify an argument.
9. What explains the difference in the crew’s collarbones?
A. More injuries on their right sides. B. Their naturally stronger right arms.
C. More frequent use of their right arms. D. Less protection of their right collarbones.
10. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A. Left-handers are more careful. B. Easier things require less attention.
C. Handedness affects us unknowingly. D. Ads should have been placed on the left.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Left out B. All Right C. To the Left D. Right in the Middle
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球多数人右利手,非商业或书写导致。其影响骨骼发育,还会在无意识中左右人们的选择与偏好。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Today, only around 10 percent of people around the world are left-handed. The overwhelming preference for being right-handed is global. It is tempting to think that this might arise from a commercial culture wanting an all-the-same market for its products. It is far more economical to only make right-handed golf club sets. Some also suggest that right-handedness is convenient when it comes to writing left to right, but right-handedness is also dominant in countries where the language is written right to left.(如今,全球仅有约 10%的人是左撇子。人们普遍倾向于使用右手,这种偏好是全球性的。人们很容易认为这可能是由于商业文化希望其产品能拥有统一的市场所致。只生产右手型的高尔夫球杆套装会更经济实惠。还有人认为,当需要从左到右书写时,右手式更为方便,但在一些语言从右到左书写的国家,右手式则更为普遍)”可知,作者提及从右向左书写这一说法是为了反驳某种观点。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Probably, a lifetime of using one hand over another will impact how your skeleton changes.(或许,一生中频繁使用某一肢体而忽略另一肢体,会对骨骼的发育产生影响)”可知,更频繁地使用右臂导致了船员们锁骨形态上的差异。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond physical traces, your handedness influences how you interact with your world. You probably think of yourself as captain of your soul and think that we consciously determine what we do in this life. In reality, however, your handedness might influence the decisions that you make. Publishing their findings in the journal Psychological Science, researchers conducted a series of experiments and found that when participants were asked which of two products to buy, people overwhelmingly chose the product that appeared on the side of their preferred hand. Given the predominance of right-handers in the world, that’s why advertisers prefer to have their ads on the right-hand page.(除了身体上的痕迹之外,你的惯用手还会对你与世界的互动方式产生影响。你可能认为自己是自己灵魂的主宰,并认为我们能够有意识地决定自己在这一生中的所作所为。但实际上,你的惯用手可能会影响你所做的决定。研究人员在《心理科学》杂志上发表了他们的研究成果,并进行了一系列实验,发现当参与者被要求选择购买两种产品中的哪一种时,绝大多数人都会选择出现在他们惯用手一侧的产品。鉴于世界上右撇子占多数,这就是为什么广告商更倾向于将他们的广告放在右页的原因)”可知,右手使用习惯对我们潜移默化地产生影响。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Today, only around 10 percent of people around the world are left-handed. The overwhelming preference for being right-handed is global. (如今,全球仅有约10%的人是左撇子。人们普遍倾向于使用右手,这种偏好是全球性的)”可知,文章主要说明了全球多数人右利手,非商业或书写导致。其影响骨骼发育,还会在无意识中左右人们的选择与偏好。B选项“全是右手”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
The ice cream vendor (小贩) wheeled his cart past our family setup on the sand, calling out to a regular customer: “See you next year.” Something about those four words stopped me. This sense of an ending left me unsettled. I didn’t want the day to end.
Later, as we sat watching the waves, my father reflected about his childhood summers in an Egyptian resort town in the 1950s and 60s. It sounded like a dream. I asked him if he thought those were his happiest times. My father paused, considering. “It’s hard to judge different times in your life when they’re so different,” he said finally. “At the time, it was all I knew. There was nothing to compare it with.” He didn’t realize how lucky he was, caught in the beautiful trap of the present tense.
Nostalgia (怀旧) brings with it a dreamlike mist. It captures something essential about how memory twists our relationship with time. As Belarusian poet Svetlana Alexievich remarks in her speech “In Search of the Free Individual,” our recollections are “living creatures” that we don’t simply recall but actively reconstruct, weaving not just what happened but“what we read, what we thought about, whether we were happy or not” into the fabric of remembrance.
The problem with nostalgia is that it feels good, regardless of whether it reflects something true. We live in an age of “liquid modernity” — where the solid foundations of previous eras have disappeared, leaving us floating in a state of constant changing and anxiety. In such circumstances, the promise of return becomes irresistible, even what we’re returning to never quite existed as we remember it.
Perhaps the most honest response to nostalgia isn’t to resist it entirely but to hold it lightly, to appreciate its emotional truth while remaining skeptical of its factual claims. The ice cream vendor’s “see you next year” contained its own wisdom: not a guarantee, but a hope. Not a promise about the future, but an expression of faith that some things, however fragile, might last.
12. What caused the father’s uncertainty about the happiest time?
A. The twist of timeline.
B. The uniqueness of each stage.
C. The experience of false feelings.
D. The unclear memories of the vacation.
13. What does Svetlana seem to think of our recollection?
A. An active reshaping of the past.
B. A complete fiction that we invent.
C. A consistent record of our old days.
D. A faithful reflection of what happened.
14. How does “liquid modernity” influence us?
A. It promises a quick return.
B. It causes conflicting thoughts.
C. It makes us emotionally rootless.
D. It destroys the base of our history.
15. What is the suggested attitude toward nostalgia according to the passage?
A. Reserved and critical.
B. Hopeful but passive.
C. Faithful and grateful.
D. Appreciative but cautious.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者对怀旧情绪的看法,认为应欣赏其情感真实性,同时对其事实性保持谨慎。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s hard to judge different times in your life when they’re so different,” he said finally. “At the time, it was all I knew. There was nothing to compare it with.”(“当生活中的不同时期如此不同时,很难评判哪个时期更好,”他最后说。“在当时,那是我所知道的一切。没有什么可以与之相比的。”)”可知,父亲认为每个阶段都是独特的,很难评判哪个时期更好,因此对最快乐的时光感到不确定。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As Belarusian poet Svetlana Alexievich remarks in her speech “In Search of the Free Individual,” our recollections are “living creatures” that we don’t simply recall but actively reconstruct, weaving not just what happened but “what we read, what we thought about, whether we were happy or not” into the fabric of remembrance.(正如白俄罗斯诗人斯维特拉娜·阿列克谢耶维奇在她的演讲“寻找自由个体”中所说,我们的回忆是“活生生的生物”,我们不仅仅是回忆,而是积极地重建,不仅编织发生的事情,还编织“我们读到的、我们思考的、我们是否快乐”到记忆的织物中。)”可知,Svetlana认为我们的回忆是对过去的积极重塑。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“We live in an age of “liquid modernity” — where the solid foundations of previous eras have disappeared, leaving us floating in a state of constant changing and anxiety.(我们生活在一个“流动的现代性”时代——前几个时代的坚实基础已经消失,让我们漂浮在不断变化和焦虑的状态中。)”可知,“流动的现代性”让我们失去了情感上的根基,让我们处于不断变化和焦虑的状态中。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Perhaps the most honest response to nostalgia isn’t to resist it entirely but to hold it lightly, to appreciate its emotional truth while remaining skeptical of its factual claims.(也许对怀旧最诚实的回应不是完全抵制它,而是轻松地接受它,欣赏它的情感真实性,同时对其事实性保持怀疑。)”可知,文章建议对怀旧的态度是欣赏其情感真实性,同时对其事实性保持谨慎。故选D。
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。
Three in a row
In the game of noughts (圈) and crosses, my 4-year-old son was already good enough to force a draw. In case there is anyone unfamiliar with this game, it is played on a 3×3 grid (网格), with players taking turns to add their symbol — an X or an O — in one of the spaces. ____16____.
On a blank board, there are nine spaces in which the first symbol can be placed. For each of these possibilities, there are eight places where the second symbol can go, and for each of those,there are seven ways for the first player to respond, and so on. ____17____. Doing this analysis,we find that, if both players play perfectly, the outcome is always a draw.
Knowing that you can only win if your opponent does something silly can make the game somewhat boring to play. ____18____.
A simple adaptation is to alter the game’s goal. Here, players place Os and Xs in the usual way. ____19____. Have a go! You might be surprised that such a simple change results in really quite different gameplay.
____20____ — try four in a row on a 4×4 grid. Or play it like the classic game Connect 4, which requires four in a row, but is played on a 7×6 grid. You can even play on an infinite board. Take turns to place your symbol, aiming to get five in a row.
There are many more varieties-maybe you can think of your own. For me, adjusting the rules and examining the result is the creative heart of mathematical thinking, and it is lovely to find so much to explore in this simple game.
A. You can also enlarge the grid
B. Another twist is to involve more players
C. This time the first to get three in a row loses
D. However, some fun twists can add excitement
E. These are evaluated as either a win, loss or draw
F. The winner is the first to place three of their symbols in a row
G. This leads to a million positions, which isn’t very many for a computer to search
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. C 20. A
【解析】

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)
第二节语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It started quietly, as most viral things do — with two numbers. “Six seven.” When asked ____36____ it meant, the teens laughed and said, “It doesn’t mean anything.” While the term is ____37____ (large) nonsensical, some argue it means “so-so,” or “maybe this, maybe that,” especially when ____38____ (pair) with a hand gesture where both palms face up and move alternately up and down.
But in that non-answer lies ____39____ heart of modern communication. When young people say “6-7,” they’re not trying to convey information, but demonstrating ____40____ (participate).
“6-7” is thought ____41____ (originate) from a short TikTok sound referencing a basketball player’s height. Its rhythm made it catchy; its lack of definition made it ____42____ (adapt). Within days, it evolved from a random audio clip ____43____ a global in-joke.
If “6-7” doesn’t mean anything, why does it matter? Shared nonsense fulfills an emotional function. It builds trust and reinforces community without the burden of logic. Laughing together over something meaningless still produces the same closeness as deep conversation.
Such micro-trends often surface during times of digital fatigue. In an age of constantly ____44____ (expose) to information and commentary online, a phrase that asks nothing of you and invites you to join without overthinking ____45____ (feel) refreshing. “6-7” spreads precisely because it is simple, playful, and free of explanation.

37. largely
38. paired 39. the
40. participation
41. to originate##to have originated
42. adaptable

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了网络流行语“6-7”的起源、含义及其在现代交流中的作用。
【36题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:当被问及它是什么意思时,青少年们笑着说:“这没什么意思。”根据下文“It doesn’t mean anything.”可知,此处是问“6-7”是什么意思,用what引导宾语从句,在从句中作meant的宾语。故填what。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然这个词在很大程度上毫无意义,但一些人认为它的意思是“一般般”,或者“可能是这样,也可能是那样”,尤其是当它与一个手势搭配时,这个手势是双手掌心向上,交替上下移动。本空修饰形容词nonsensical,应用副词largely“在很大程度上”,作状语。故填largely。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本句已有谓语动词means,pair应用非谓语形式,pair与逻辑主语it之间为被动关系,应用过去分词,作状语。故填paired。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但在这个没有答案的回答中,却蕴含着现代交流的核心。此处特指现代交流的核心,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:当年轻人说“6-7”时,他们并不是在试图传达信息,而是在展示参与。本空作demonstrating的宾语,应用名词participation“参与”。故填participation。

【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它的节奏朗朗上口;它缺乏定义使其具有适应性。本空作宾语补足语,应用形容词adaptable“有适应能力的”。故填adaptable。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:几天之内,它从一个随机的音频片段演变成了一个全球性的内部笑话。固定短语evolve from...into...“从……逐步发展/演变成……”。故填into。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在这个不断接触网络信息和评论的时代,一个不要求你做任何事情,也不要求你过度思考就邀请你加入的短语,会让人感到耳目一新。of为介词,本空应用动名词,作宾语,且expose与逻辑主语you之间为被动关系,应用动名词的被动形式being exposed。故填being exposed。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意同上。本句描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语a phrase为单数,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填feels。

第四部分读后续写(共1题,满分25分)
71. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom Parker always said he was busy — so often, in fact, that it became part of his daily routine.
Whenever a coworker asked how he was doing, he would give the same reply: “Oh, I’m terribly busy. I’ve got so much on my plate — more than anyone else, really.” He liked saying this. It made him feel important.
At work, Tom walked very fast, as if every second counted. He wanted people to believe he had no time to stop. When someone asked, “Can you help me with this?” he would quickly wave them off with a “Can’t — too busy.” When lunch invitations came, his answer was always the same: “No time. Work to do.”
The truth, though, was that Tom didn’t actually have all that much work. He simply enjoyed the impression that he did.
One Monday morning, Tom swept into the office announcing loudly, “What a busy day! I am the busiest person here!”
At lunchtime, several coworkers passed by his desk. “Tom, we’re heading to lunch. Coming?”Anna asked. Tom wanted to say yes, but he couldn’t bear the thought of being seen with time to spare. So he gave his usual response: “Sorry, too busy.”
After they left, Tom ate a small sandwich alone at his desk. The silence around him felt heavier than usual. He glanced at the empty office and felt a quiet sadness settle in.
On Wednesday, there was a team meeting. Tom declined, insisting he was buried in work. Later that day, his boss came to speak with him. “Tom,” her tone remained kind but firm.“Being busy doesn’t make you important. Working with others — helping them, being present — that does.”
Tom didn’t know what to say, but her words sank in. That night, lying in bed, he thought back over the week. He thought about all the times he’d said “I’m too busy.” He thought about eating alone. He thought about Anna and the others heading out to lunch without him. Finally, it clicked: constantly declaring how busy he was hadn’t made his life better — it had only pushed people away.
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。
The next morning, Tom decided to try something different.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the lunch table, Anna and his coworkers mentioned a tricky case.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next morning, Tom decided to try something different. He walked at a normal pace, not rushing past anyone. When a coworker greeted him, he smiled and said, “Good morning. How are you?” The coworker looked pleasantly surprised. Later, Anna passed by his desk and asked, “Coffee break?” Tom hesitated for only a second,then nodded.“Sure. I’d love to.” At the coffee machine, he didn’t mention being busy. Instead, he asked about Anna’s weekend. For the first time in months, he felt less like a rushing machine and more like a real person.When they returned, a new colleague asked for help with a report. Tom sat down and explained it patiently.
At the lunch table, Anna and his coworkers mentioned a tricky case. A client had complained about a delayed shipment, and no one knew how to respond. Tom listened quietly, then said, “Maybe we could offer a small discount as an apology? I handled something similar last year.” Everyone turned to him in surprise. Anna smiled, “That’s a great idea, Tom. Can you draft the email?” Tom agreed, feeling a warm sense of belonging. He didn’t say “busy” once. Later, back at his desk, he realized that helping others and being part of a team felt far better than pretending to be important.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Tom的“忙碌”为线索展开,讲述Tom为彰显重要性总谎称忙碌,拒绝同事邀约,独自度过午餐,后被老板点醒,意识到假装忙碌只会推开他人。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上,汤姆决定尝试一些不同的做法。”可知,第一段可描写Tom改变以往的忙碌姿态,主动和同事交流,接受咖啡邀约,还耐心帮助新同事,体会到融入集体的感觉。
②由第二段首句内容“在午餐桌上,安娜和他的同事们提到了一个棘手的案子。”可知,第二段可描写Tom分享解决类似问题的经验,得到同事认可,真切感受到融入团队比假装忙碌更有意义。
2. 续写线索:主动问候同事——接受咖啡邀约——帮助新同事——分享案件解决办法——感受团队归属感
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①冲:rush/dash
②处理:handle/deal with
③假装:pretend/feign
情绪类
④惊讶的:surprised/amazed/astonished
⑤犹豫:hesitate/waver

A few years ago, I was in the west Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles. On seeing an unknow sparrow dash into some brush I decided to go in after it, eventually getting myself deep into the bushes and quite a distance from the trail. Suddenly, I heard a loud crashing in the nearby thick bushes and was aware of being in the presence of a large, unseen animal. This was no deer; it had to be a puma. Despite my excitement I clicked into self-preservation mode. I had to retreat. I certainly didn’t want to be a headline in the LA Times: “British tourist attacked by puma in Franklin Canyon.”
Had I been in nearby Griffith Park I could have claimed a brush with P-22, the “celebrity puma” that was the most famous of its kind in Los Angeles. P-22 had somehow managed to cross two potentially deadly freeways to settle in Griffith Park. The puma was first spotted in 2012 when his image was taken by a camera trap, and his fame erupted once he was featured within the pages of National Geographic. But he was trapped in an urban green oasis with no chance of meeting a mate. Despite wandering for 10 years his survival echoed the problems that these cats and other wildlife face in urban areas.
Los Angeles is one of only two mega-cities where large cats occur within the bustling city limits, and the animals have adapted to become increasingly nocturnal (夜间的) in order to avoid people. Encounters are rare and there have been no deaths to date. But there are threats to their existence. The urban habitat is divided due to development and road building, which is the main reason that the animals meet untimely ends, under the wheels of vehicles.
Additionally, the cats are trapped by freeways and unable to disperse, limiting their gene-pool. The widespread use of rodenticides (灭鼠剂) has come at a cost, with the animals absorbing them via their prey. This is the fate that happened to the beloved P-22.
4. How did the author react to the loud crashing?
A. He regretted the walk.
B. He took a closer look.
C. He backed away for safety.
D. He identified the puma as P-22.
5. What do we know about National Geographic in paragraph 2?
A. It made the puma’s name.
B. It proved the puma’s existence.
C. It revealed the puma’s situation.
D. It claimed the puma’s ownership.
6. What is the root cause of accidental deaths of pumas in Los Angeles?
A. The abuse of rat poison.
B. The habitat destruction.
C. The encounter with humans.
D. The heavy traffic on freeways.
7. What does the underlined word “disperse” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Pass by. B. Climb up.
C. Live on. D. Spread out.
C
Today, only around 10 percent of people around the world are left-handed. The overwhelming preference for being right-handed is global. It is tempting to think that this might arise from a commercial culture wanting an all-the-same market for its products. It is far more economical to only make right-handed golf club sets. Some also suggest that right-handedness is convenient when it comes to writing left to right, but right-handedness is also dominant in countries where the language is written right to left.
So, what are the implications of left- and right-handedness?
We will start with a shipwreck. The Mary Rose was sunk in a battle in 1545. The crew’s bodies were in surprisingly good condition. Just as in our times, right-handedness would have been more dominant among the crew because left-handedness was associated with evil spirits and,therefore, strongly discouraged. The researchers analysed the bodies and found that there were more age-related changes in the right collarbones (锁骨) of the crew than in the left collarbones. Probably, a lifetime of using one hand over another will impact how your skeleton changes.
Beyond physical traces, your handedness influences how you interact with your world. You probably think of yourself as captain of your soul and think that we consciously determine what we do in this life. In reality, however, your handedness might influence the decisions that you make. Publishing their findings in the journal Psychological Science, researchers conducted a series of experiments and found that when participants were asked which of two products to buy,people overwhelmingly chose the product that appeared on the side of their preferred hand. Given the predominance of right-handers in the world, that’s why advertisers prefer to have their ads on the right-hand page.
The theory goes that people like things better when they are easier to notice and interact with.Lefthanders interact more easily with things that are on their left. At least some of your decisions in life come down to what is easiest and most fluent, and that is often determined by your dominant hand.
8. Why does the author mention writing right to left?
A. To prove a theory. B. To contradict an idea.
C. To present an example. D. To clarify an argument.
9. What explains the difference in the crew’s collarbones?
A. More injuries on their right sides. B. Their naturally stronger right arms.
C. More frequent use of their right arms. D. Less protection of their right collarbones.
10. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A. Left-handers are more careful. B. Easier things require less attention.
C. Handedness affects us unknowingly. D. Ads should have been placed on the left.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Left out B. All Right C. To the Left D. Right in the Middle
D
The ice cream vendor (小贩) wheeled his cart past our family setup on the sand, calling out to a regular customer: “See you next year.” Something about those four words stopped me. This sense of an ending left me unsettled. I didn’t want the day to end.
Later, as we sat watching the waves, my father reflected about his childhood summers in an Egyptian resort town in the 1950s and 60s. It sounded like a dream. I asked him if he thought those were his happiest times. My father paused, considering. “It’s hard to judge different times in your life when they’re so different,” he said finally. “At the time, it was all I knew. There was nothing to compare it with.” He didn’t realize how lucky he was, caught in the beautiful trap of the present tense.
Nostalgia (怀旧) brings with it a dreamlike mist. It captures something essential about how memory twists our relationship with time. As Belarusian poet Svetlana Alexievich remarks in her speech “In Search of the Free Individual,” our recollections are “living creatures” that we don’t simply recall but actively reconstruct, weaving not just what happened but“what we read, what we thought about, whether we were happy or not” into the fabric of remembrance.
The problem with nostalgia is that it feels good, regardless of whether it reflects something true. We live in an age of “liquid modernity” — where the solid foundations of previous eras have disappeared, leaving us floating in a state of constant changing and anxiety. In such circumstances, the promise of return becomes irresistible, even what we’re returning to never quite existed as we remember it.
Perhaps the most honest response to nostalgia isn’t to resist it entirely but to hold it lightly, to appreciate its emotional truth while remaining skeptical of its factual claims. The ice cream vendor’s “see you next year” contained its own wisdom: not a guarantee, but a hope. Not a promise about the future, but an expression of faith that some things, however fragile, might last.
12. What caused the father’s uncertainty about the happiest time?
A. The twist of timeline.
B. The uniqueness of each stage.
C. The experience of false feelings.
D. The unclear memories of the vacation.
13. What does Svetlana seem to think of our recollection?
A. An active reshaping of the past.
B. A complete fiction that we invent.
C. A consistent record of our old days.
D. A faithful reflection of what happened.
14. How does “liquid modernity” influence us?
A. It promises a quick return.
B. It causes conflicting thoughts.
C. It makes us emotionally rootless.
D. It destroys the base of our history.
15. What is the suggested attitude toward nostalgia according to the passage?
A. Reserved and critical.
B. Hopeful but passive.
C. Faithful and grateful.
D. Appreciative but cautious.

Three in a row
In the game of noughts (圈) and crosses, my 4-year-old son was already good enough to force a draw. In case there is anyone unfamiliar with this game, it is played on a 3×3 grid (网格), with players taking turns to add their symbol — an X or an O — in one of the spaces. ____16____.
On a blank board, there are nine spaces in which the first symbol can be placed. For each of these possibilities, there are eight places where the second symbol can go, and for each of those,there are seven ways for the first player to respond, and so on. ____17____. Doing this analysis,we find that, if both players play perfectly, the outcome is always a draw.
Knowing that you can only win if your opponent does something silly can make the game somewhat boring to play. ____18____.
A simple adaptation is to alter the game’s goal. Here, players place Os and Xs in the usual way. ____19____. Have a go! You might be surprised that such a simple change results in really quite different gameplay.
____20____ — try four in a row on a 4×4 grid. Or play it like the classic game Connect 4, which requires four in a row, but is played on a 7×6 grid. You can even play on an infinite board. Take turns to place your symbol, aiming to get five in a row.
There are many more varieties-maybe you can think of your own. For me, adjusting the rules and examining the result is the creative heart of mathematical thinking, and it is lovely to find so much to explore in this simple game.
A. You can also enlarge the grid
B. Another twist is to involve more players
C. This time the first to get three in a row loses
D. However, some fun twists can add excitement
E. These are evaluated as either a win, loss or draw
F. The winner is the first to place three of their symbols in a row
G. This leads to a million positions, which isn’t very many for a computer to search

第二节语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It started quietly, as most viral things do — with two numbers. “Six seven.” When asked ____36____ it meant, the teens laughed and said, “It doesn’t mean anything.” While the term is ____37____ (large) nonsensical, some argue it means “so-so,” or “maybe this, maybe that,” especially when ____38____ (pair) with a hand gesture where both palms face up and move alternately up and down.
But in that non-answer lies ____39____ heart of modern communication. When young people say “6-7,” they’re not trying to convey information, but demonstrating ____40____ (participate).
“6-7” is thought ____41____ (originate) from a short TikTok sound referencing a basketball player’s height. Its rhythm made it catchy; its lack of definition made it ____42____ (adapt). Within days, it evolved from a random audio clip ____43____ a global in-joke.
If “6-7” doesn’t mean anything, why does it matter? Shared nonsense fulfills an emotional function. It builds trust and reinforces community without the burden of logic. Laughing together over something meaningless still produces the same closeness as deep conversation.
Such micro-trends often surface during times of digital fatigue. In an age of constantly ____44____ (expose) to information and commentary online, a phrase that asks nothing of you and invites you to join without overthinking ____45____ (feel) refreshing. “6-7” spreads precisely because it is simple, playful, and free of explanation.

Tom Parker always said he was busy — so often, in fact, that it became part of his daily routine.
Whenever a coworker asked how he was doing, he would give the same reply: “Oh, I’m terribly busy. I’ve got so much on my plate — more than anyone else, really.” He liked saying this. It made him feel important.
At work, Tom walked very fast, as if every second counted. He wanted people to believe he had no time to stop. When someone asked, “Can you help me with this?” he would quickly wave them off with a “Can’t — too busy.” When lunch invitations came, his answer was always the same: “No time. Work to do.”
The truth, though, was that Tom didn’t actually have all that much work. He simply enjoyed the impression that he did.
One Monday morning, Tom swept into the office announcing loudly, “What a busy day! I am the busiest person here!”
At lunchtime, several coworkers passed by his desk. “Tom, we’re heading to lunch. Coming?”Anna asked. Tom wanted to say yes, but he couldn’t bear the thought of being seen with time to spare. So he gave his usual response: “Sorry, too busy.”
After they left, Tom ate a small sandwich alone at his desk. The silence around him felt heavier than usual. He glanced at the empty office and felt a quiet sadness settle in.
On Wednesday, there was a team meeting. Tom declined, insisting he was buried in work. Later that day, his boss came to speak with him. “Tom,” her tone remained kind but firm.“Being busy doesn’t make you important. Working with others — helping them, being present — that does.”
Tom didn’t know what to say, but her words sank in. That night, lying in bed, he thought back over the week. He thought about all the times he’d said “I’m too busy.” He thought about eating alone. He thought about Anna and the others heading out to lunch without him. Finally, it clicked: constantly declaring how busy he was hadn’t made his life better — it had only pushed people away.
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。
The next morning, Tom decided to try something different.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the lunch table, Anna and his coworkers mentioned a tricky case.
