There are more than 150,000 plant specimens, over 4,000 mammal specimens, almost 33,000 insect specimens.(上海自然历史博物馆有超过28万件展品，可分为植物、动物、地质和人类。有超过15万件植物标本，4000多件哺乳动物标本，近3.3万件昆虫标本。)”可知，昆虫爱好者可以在这里观察生物多样性，所以昆虫爱好者可能会对该博物馆感兴趣。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Opening hours部分中“Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 — 17:15 (Tickets are sold from 9:00 to 16:30)(周二至周日 9:00 — 17:15（售票时间为9:00至16:30）)”可知，可以在周日12:30买票。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Exhibits部分中第一段“Five interactive theaters present the great events in the history of evolution. Moreover, 400 visual media and the online library system can accommodate growing public interest. The farm exposes tourists to nature and the exploration center provides people with an opportunity to observe, to experiment, and to discuss.(五个互动剧场展示了进化史上的重大事件。此外，400个视觉媒体和在线图书馆系统可以满足公众日益增长的兴趣。农场让游客接触大自然，探索中心为人们提供了观察、实验和讨论的机会。)”可知，该博物馆的主要特点是创造了互动和引人入胜的体验。故选D。 B I was sitting on my living room sofa. “Get up and go to work out,” I said to myself. No movement yet. Picturing the athlete who once ran for hours, trained nonstop, and played with intensity couldn’t stir up the will to walk 10 yards to the gym for even 20 minutes of lifting. I had graduated from college as a 21-year-old young man, and with that came the sudden end of my soccer career. Losing that clarity hit harder than any physical challenge I’d ever faced. The scaffolding of my life had fallen apart. It was replaced by a complex and confusing web of competing priorities with no clear hierarchy(层次)—no coach telling me what mattered most, no obvious way to keep score. I felt directionless, empty and lost. Months later, I met Arthur Brooks, the author of From Strength to Strength, by chance. He has spent decades studying what makes people truly happy, and he has noticed a troubling pattern: We’ve lost our connection to meaning, and that is what puts us in a bad mood. Meaning will slip away unnoticeably. The job that once energized you will become routine. This is not failure but a human condition. We’re supposed to lose our sense of meaning periodically because we never permanently solve it. The most important thing that Brooks has taught me is that meaning isn’t a destination to reach but a way we travel through life. The struggle never gets easier, but we can find joy in the difficulty. We can stop seeing these tough times as our enemies and start seeing them as partners, letting each crisis of meaning teach us something new about ourselves and what we truly value. For my soccer-playing self—who was trapped in the belief that meaning should be permanent, something given to us that provides a solid, sensible structure for one’s life—this would have sounded like terrible news, but it’s actually liberating. 4. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 1? A. He was exhausted. B. He was demotivated. C. He was ambitious. D. He was disorganized. 5. What does the underlined word “scaffolding” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Supporting item. B. Temporary plan. C. Hidden hardship. D. Emotional bond. 6. Why may we feel unhappy according to Brooks? A. We struggle to follow our routines. B. We tend to pursue unrealistic goals. C. We are disconnected from meaning. D. We are faced with demanding tasks. 7. What lesson has the author learned from Brooks? A. Celebrating small moments in life. B. Accepting struggles as unavoidable. C. Welcoming unpredictable changes. D. Valuing life’s journey over purpose. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因结束足球生涯失去生活方向，偶然结识 Brooks 后，从其身上领悟到：意义不是人生终点，而是前行方式，要在困境中感受人生旅程的价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was sitting on my living room sofa. “Get up and go to work out,” I said to myself. No movement yet. Picturing the athlete who once ran for hours, trained nonstop, and played with intensity couldn’t stir up the will to walk 10 yards to the gym for even 20 minutes of lifting.( 我正坐在客厅的沙发上。“起来去锻炼一下吧，”我对自己说道。目前还没有任何动静。想象那位曾经长时间奔跑、不间断训练、全力以赴比赛的运动员，却再也无法激发自己迈出 10 码去健身房锻炼哪怕 20 分钟的意愿。)”可知，从第一段中可以了解到作者缺乏动力、萎靡不振的状态。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I had graduated from college as a 21-year-old young man, and with that came the sudden end of my soccer career. Losing that clarity hit harder than any physical challenge I’d ever faced.( 我大学毕业时年仅 21 岁，随之而来的是我足球生涯的突然终结。失去那种清晰的目标感比我曾经历过的任何身体上的挑战都更让我感到痛苦。)”以及“The… of my life had fallen apart. It was replaced by a complex and confusing web of competing priorities with no clear hierarchy(层次)—no coach telling me what mattered most, no obvious way to keep score.( 我生活的……彻底崩塌了。取而代之的是一张错综复杂、令人困惑的、相互冲突的优先事项网络，没有明确的等级顺序——没有教练告诉我什么才是最重要的，也没有明确的方式来衡量成效。)”可知，前文指出作者大学毕业告别足球生涯，失去了生活的清晰方向；后句说明原本的东西消失后，生活变得杂乱无章、没有主次。由此可推知，scaffolding是支撑作者生活、让生活有秩序的东西，即“支撑物”。A选项Supporting item“支撑物”符合语境。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“He has spent decades studying what makes people truly happy, and he has noticed a troubling pattern: We’ve lost our connection to meaning, and that is what puts us in a bad mood.( 他花了数十年时间研究是什么让人们真正感到快乐，并且他注意到一个令人不安的模式：我们已经失去了对意义的联系，而这正是让我们心情不佳的原因。)”可知，根据布鲁克斯的观点，人们不快乐的核心原因是我们与生命的意义脱节。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The most important thing that Brooks has taught me is that meaning isn’t a destination to reach but a way we travel through life. The struggle never gets easier, but we can find joy in the difficulty.( 布鲁克斯教给我的最重要的一点是，意义并非一个需要抵达的目标，而是一种我们在生活中前行的方式。这种挣扎永远不会变得轻松，但我们可以在艰难中找到快乐。)”可推知，作者从布鲁克斯身上学到了重视人生旅程本身而非目标。故选D项。 C The ongoing climate change is ready to have serious and lasting consequences for plants across the globe. A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change. The research is focused on popular leafy vegetables, including kale, rocket and spinach. For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions. After the plants have been grown under climate change conditions, their nutritional quality was analyzed. Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures. A key early finding is that different crops have responded differently to these climate change stressors, with some species reacting more intensely than others. “This diversity in response highlights that we can’t generalize across crop species. This complexity has been both fascinating and challenging and reminds us why it’s important to study multiple stressors together,” says Jiata Ugwah Ekele, a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. This nutritional imbalance poses serious health implications for humanity. While higher CO2 levels can increase the concentration of sugars in crops, it can decrease essential proteins, minerals and antioxidants. “This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.” 8. What is the focus of the study? A. Future climate conditions in the UK. B. New types of leafy vegetables in the UK. C. The way to grow crops faster in greenhouses. D. Climate change and its impact on crop nutrition. 9. What was the condition of the crops grown for this research project? A. Thinner air. B. Controlled water. C. Higher CO2 level. D. Lower temperature. 10. How does Ms. Ekele sound in the last paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change: The Hidden Nutrient Loss in Crops B. Rising CO2 : The Key to Healthier Vegetables C. Leafy Vegetables: The Solution to Climate Change D. UK Climate Predictions: A Threat to Global Food Security 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍英国一项研究探讨气候变化下二氧化碳浓度和气温上升对作物营养成分的影响，及其带来的健康隐患。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change.(英国利物浦约翰摩尔斯大学开展的一项研究，主要聚焦于探索与气候变化相关的二氧化碳浓度上升和气温升高的共同作用，会如何影响粮食作物的营养成分)”可知，该研究的核心是气候变化及其对作物营养的影响。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions.(在该项目中，这些作物种植在环境可控的生长室中，二氧化碳和气温水平被调节至英国未来预测的气候状况)”以及第三段中的“Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier.(该项目的初步结果表明，大气中二氧化碳浓度升高能促使作物长得更快、更大)”可知，研究中作物的生长环境具有较高的二氧化碳浓度。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.”(埃克莱女士表示：“这种营养平衡的改变，可能会导致人们的饮食热量更高、但营养价值却更低。”“农作物中糖分含量的增加——尤其是果蔬类作物——可能会提高重度肥胖和2型糖尿病的患病风险，对那些本就深受这些疾病困扰的人群来说，情况尤为严重。”)”可知，她的话语中充满了对作物营养变化给人类健康带来隐患的担忧。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段中“Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures.(该项目的初步研究结果显示，大气中二氧化碳浓度的升高确实能促进作物生长得更快、植株更大，但这绝不意味着作物变得更健康。经过一段时间的生长后，这些作物体内的钙等关键矿物质以及某些抗氧化化合物的含量均出现了下降，而气温的持续升高则进一步加剧了这些变化)”可知，文章核心围绕气候变化（二氧化碳浓度升高、气温上升）展开，指出其虽能让作物长得更大更快，但会导致关键矿物质、抗氧化化合物等营养成分减少，形成“作物更大，营养更少”的现象。故A项“气候变化：作物养分隐性流失”能概括主旨，适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 D Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 13. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 14. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“沉没成本谬误”这一心理现象，通过调查实验分析其成因，解释了人们为何会因过去的投入而难以放弃某个计划或选择，即使该计划或选择已不再合理，并探讨坚持的利弊，指出有时放弃是更明智的选择。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论).(你的衣柜里有没有一套多年没穿过但又不愿意扔掉的西装或连衣裙？也许你会说：“我不能把它扔掉，因为我花了很多钱买的。”如果你在自己身上发现了这种情况，那你就陷入了‘沉没成本谬误’的执念中。)”可知，作者在文章开头描述了人们拒绝放弃过去的投入这一现象。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.(结果显示，尽管合理的选择是威斯康星州，但仍有54%的人选择了密歇根州，因为他们最初的投入更大)”可知，54%的参与者选择密歇根州滑雪之旅是因为他们最初的投入更大，他们想减少损失。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered.(当我们让情绪影响我们的决定时，就会产生沉没成本谬论。一旦我们对一个选择进行了投资，如果我们不坚持到底，我们就会感到内疚或后悔，却没有意识到过去的投资是无法收回的)”可知，当我们从情感上坚持已经做出的投资时，就会出现“沉没成本谬误”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.(没有人能否认我们从坚持中获益匪浅。所以我们的社会喜欢强调坚持。永不放弃！不要浪费！但只有你知道什么是对的路。有时候，离开是最难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的路不再是正确的，或者从来都不是正确的。这是一个痛苦的认识)”可知，作者认为虽然坚持有好处，但有时离开才是正确的选择，说明作者对“坚持”持谨慎态度。故选A项。 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。 Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative.____16____ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. ____17____ Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. ____18____ If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength.____19____ Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. ____20____ It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨控制并非纯负面，分析其正负作用及产生控制欲的原因。 【16题详解】 上文“However, control isn’t purely negative. (然而，控制并不完全是负面的)”及下文“ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. (它在我们生活中的作用要复杂得多)”说明控制的作用很复杂，空处承上启下，选项F中的“doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes”与下文中的“far more complicated”相呼应。所以F选项“实际上，控制不能简单地归入“好”或“坏”的范畴。”，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 下文“These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. (这些都表明，控制可以成为秩序与进步的推动力)”说明控制是有积极作用的，空处引出下文，选项B中的“positive”与下文中的“a force for order and progress”相呼应。所以B选项“控制有明显的积极应用”，符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. (有些人会使用威胁，甚至暴力来强行推行自己的意志)”及下文“If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial - they can help address the harm. (如果你在他人的行为中识别出这种表现，或自己正经历这种情况，向可信赖的成年人寻求帮助至关重要——他们可以帮助应对由此造成的伤害)”说明控制欲失控，是一种虐待，经历的人应该向别人寻求帮助，空处承上启下，选项A中的“abuse”与下文中的“such behavior”相呼应。所以A选项“这可能是一种形式的虐待。”，符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. (当我们感到不确定，或对生活感到迷茫时，掌控每一个细节的需求就成了应对情绪的一种方式。久而久之，这会形成一个不断强化的负面循环)”说明我们不能放任这种负面情绪不管，选项G中的“it”与上文中的“the need to manage every little thing”相呼应。所以G选项“如果不加以控制，它可能会破坏人际关系并引发压力”，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. (生活中的变化常常会激起控制的需求。身体或情绪上的变化、家庭冲突，或失去所爱之人，都会引发无力感。像开始上新学校或搬到不同城市这样的转变，也会扰乱我们的稳定感)”及下文“It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. (这是对生活不可预测性的一种自然反应)”说明生活中的变化常常会让控制的需求增多，空处承上启下，选项E中的“In such moments”与上文中的“Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one”及“Transitions”相呼应。所以E选项“在这样的时刻，重新掌控的需求会变得强烈”，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 These days, Anya Culling is considered one of the UK’s fastest female marathon runners. But until 2019, running was ____21____ a hobby Culling had picked up for her mental health. Following a series of medical issues, she’d been ____22____. “It was running that helped restore my personal ____23____ and reawaken the passion for living,” the now 27-year-old said. ____24____ being forced to do cross-country as a kid and running the 400 meters on sports day, Culling had no real running ____25____. But as she shared in a recent post, she always ____26____ sports. The peacefulness of running — its ability to ____27____ Culling’s busy mind — is what established the activity as part of her ____28____. But it was her passion for “doing hard things” that led her to sign up for the 2019 London Marathon. “I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it,” Culling explained. She ____29____ that first race in 4 hours, 34 minutes. Afterwards, she joined several running clubs, which made a big difference in her ____30____. By 2022, Culling had cut her original ____31____ almost in half, finishing the London Marathon in 2 hours, 36 minutes. “My quick progression can be all ____32____ the day-in-and-day-out effort. And more importantly, I maintained the right philosophy: running needed to fit my life, not ____33____ it. Getting faster is always ____34____ to this balance,” said Culling. Culling continues to run; she also serves as a role model for anyone desiring to ____35____ themselves for the betterment of their well-being. 21.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部，需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感，设计了一款提醒类App，最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，笔记本打开着，思绪在脑海中飞速运转，脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知，第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”，并描写设计过程和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知，第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式，最后描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明确设计理念，专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心做：decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②测试、检验：test/check/examine ③专注于：focus on/share/concentrate on ④称赞：praise/think highly of/speak highly of 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful ②亲切的：kind/ genial 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Covering a total area of 54,127 square yards, Shanghai Natural History Museum serves as an essential platform for popular science education and cultural exchange. Theme The theme of Shanghai Natural History Museum is people in harmony with nature and features the progress of evolution (进化), the variety of life and the history of human civilization. Along with some temporary display halls, a 4D theater and a Discovery Center, there are ten permanent exhibition halls. Exhibits More than 11,000 models from seven continents are on display in Shanghai Natural History Museum with about one thousand specimens (标本) of rare species. The African grasslands are vividly reconstructed. Five interactive theaters present the great events in the history of evolution. Moreover, 400 visual media and the online library system can accommodate growing public interest. The farm exposes tourists to nature and the exploration center provides people with an opportunity to observe, to experiment, and to discuss. The Shanghai Natural History Museum has over 280,000 exhibits, which can be categorized into plants, animals, geology and humanity. There are more than 150,000 plant specimens, over 4,000 mammal specimens, almost 33,000 insect specimens. Opening hours Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 — 17:15 (Tickets are sold from 9:00 to 16:30) Monday (except public holidays in China) Closed 1. Who might be interested in Shanghai Natural History Museum? A.

B I was sitting on my living room sofa. “Get up and go to work out,” I said to myself. No movement yet. Picturing the athlete who once ran for hours, trained nonstop, and played with intensity couldn’t stir up the will to walk 10 yards to the gym for even 20 minutes of lifting. I had graduated from college as a 21-year-old young man, and with that came the sudden end of my soccer career. Losing that clarity hit harder than any physical challenge I’d ever faced. The scaffolding of my life had fallen apart. It was replaced by a complex and confusing web of competing priorities with no clear hierarchy(层次)—no coach telling me what mattered most, no obvious way to keep score. I felt directionless, empty and lost. Months later, I met Arthur Brooks, the author of From Strength to Strength, by chance. He has spent decades studying what makes people truly happy, and he has noticed a troubling pattern: We’ve lost our connection to meaning, and that is what puts us in a bad mood. Meaning will slip away unnoticeably. The job that once energized you will become routine. This is not failure but a human condition. We’re supposed to lose our sense of meaning periodically because we never permanently solve it. The most important thing that Brooks has taught me is that meaning isn’t a destination to reach but a way we travel through life. The struggle never gets easier, but we can find joy in the difficulty. We can stop seeing these tough times as our enemies and start seeing them as partners, letting each crisis of meaning teach us something new about ourselves and what we truly value. For my soccer-playing self—who was trapped in the belief that meaning should be permanent, something given to us that provides a solid, sensible structure for one’s life—this would have sounded like terrible news, but it’s actually liberating. 4. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 1? A. He was exhausted. B. He was demotivated. C. He was ambitious. D. He was disorganized. 5. What does the underlined word “scaffolding” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Supporting item. B. Temporary plan. C. Hidden hardship. D. Emotional bond. 6. Why may we feel unhappy according to Brooks? A. We struggle to follow our routines. B. We tend to pursue unrealistic goals. C. We are disconnected from meaning. D. We are faced with demanding tasks. 7. What lesson has the author learned from Brooks? A. Celebrating small moments in life. B. Accepting struggles as unavoidable. C. Welcoming unpredictable changes. D. Valuing life’s journey over purpose. C The ongoing climate change is ready to have serious and lasting consequences for plants across the globe. A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change. The research is focused on popular leafy vegetables, including kale, rocket and spinach. For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions. After the plants have been grown under climate change conditions, their nutritional quality was analyzed. Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures. A key early finding is that different crops have responded differently to these climate change stressors, with some species reacting more intensely than others. “This diversity in response highlights that we can’t generalize across crop species. This complexity has been both fascinating and challenging and reminds us why it’s important to study multiple stressors together,” says Jiata Ugwah Ekele, a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. This nutritional imbalance poses serious health implications for humanity. While higher CO2 levels can increase the concentration of sugars in crops, it can decrease essential proteins, minerals and antioxidants. “This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.” 8. What is the focus of the study? A. Future climate conditions in the UK. B. New types of leafy vegetables in the UK. C. The way to grow crops faster in greenhouses. D. Climate change and its impact on crop nutrition. 9. What was the condition of the crops grown for this research project? A. Thinner air. B. Controlled water. C. Higher CO2 level. D. Lower temperature. 10. How does Ms. Ekele sound in the last paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change: The Hidden Nutrient Loss in Crops B. Rising CO2 : The Key to Healthier Vegetables C. Leafy Vegetables: The Solution to Climate Change D. UK Climate Predictions: A Threat to Global Food Security D Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 13. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 14. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 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。 Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative.____16____ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. ____17____ Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. ____18____ If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength.____19____ Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. ____20____ It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 These days, Anya Culling is considered one of the UK’s fastest female marathon runners.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
