Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
4. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______.
A. poetic but abstract
B. scientific but tricky
C. strange and inaccurate
D. encouraging and professional
5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”?
A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts.
B. She needed online resources for air conditioning.
C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
D. She missed watching news about the hurricane.
6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather?
A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
B. Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C. Watching weather reports on television.
D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
7. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了气象学家Margaret Orr在飓风Ida期间的工作经历。她以专业和敬业的态度回应公众咨询,尽管面临困难仍坚持工作,并表达了对家乡的深厚情感。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. (Orr报道天气已有四十二年之久,被许多当地居民视为预言家。有人问她为什么风暴来临前总是阳光灿烂。她回答道:“我说啊,这是为了提醒我们,阳光总会再次普照大地。不过,我可不想用太阳表情符号。”她用了一个爱心符号代替。)”以及“The real reason the sun shines before a storm? ‘Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,’ she said. ‘The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.’ (她表示:“风暴前出现阳光的真正原因是什么?‘因为你头顶上常常有高压,天气很热,’她说,‘高压向东移动,把风暴系统推向我们这边。’”)可知,她的解释既科学又专业,同时她用“心”代替“太阳”的表情符号也带有一定的鼓励性。因此,D项“encouraging and professional(鼓励性和专业的)”最符合描述。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying. (“直到上班我才能查看社交媒体,这很烦人。”)”以及第一段中“Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家).(飓风“艾达”登陆四天后,新奥尔良的气象学家Margaret Orr在连续十二个小时的播报后稍作休息,在推特上回复了一些粉丝。Orr报道天气已有四十二年之久,被许多当地居民视为预言家。)”提到人们通过Twitter联系她获取个性化、实用的建议,可以推断出Orr在家无法上网时感到困难是因为她无法回应人们的问题。因此,C项“She was unable to respond to people’s questions.(她无法回答人们的问题。)”是正确答案。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. ‘I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,’ she said. (1965年,她12岁的时候,飓风贝琪的风把她在新奥尔良的家屋顶吹走了。她记得走到外面,站在风暴中心。‘我抬头看到了天空,看到了星星,’她说。)”可知,是她小时候在飓风贝琪的风暴眼中看到星星的经历激发了她对天气的兴趣。因此,A项“Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.(在飓风贝琪的风暴眼中看到星星。)”是正确答案。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘Bad weather happens everywhere,’ she said. ‘Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.’(“糟糕的天气到处都有,”她说。“时不时地,在推特上,你会看到有人说,你为什么住在那里?嗯,我住在这里是因为这是我的家。这是我长大的地方。这是我爱的地方。”)”可知,作者想传达的信息是情感依恋是人们与家乡联系在一起的原因。因此,C项“Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.(情感依恋是将人们与家乡联系在一起的东西。)”是正确答案。故选C项。
C
Sports, beyond entertainment, promote community and belonging, benefiting both individuals and society. Despite its recognized positive effects, finite evidence exists on the link between watching sports and well-being. To address this gap, a team of researchers from Japan, started three separate studies to understand the connection between sports viewing and well-being in the general population. To avoid biased (有偏见的) findings, their studies focused on both subjective and objective measures of well-being.
In the first study, the researchers analyzed publicly available survey data from 20,000 Japanese residents and confirmed that positive well-being was associated with regular sports viewing. However, this study was unable to provide deeper insight into the relationship between sports consumption and well-being.
The second study, aimed at investigating whether the connection between sports viewing and well-being varied depending on the type of sport observed, surveyed 208 participants online. The experiment exposed them to various sports videos, assessing their well-being both before and after viewing. The findings demonstrated that more popular sports, like baseball, made a more significant impact on enhancing well-being compared to less popular sports, such as golf.
The most significant results came from the third study, in which neuroimaging (神经成像) techniques were used to analyze changes in the brain activity of 14 Japanese participants while they watched sports videos. The findings revealed that sports viewing activated brain reward circuits, which release feelings of happiness and pleasure. Interestingly, those who reported watching sports more frequently exhibited greater gray matter volume in regions associated with reward circuits, suggesting that regular sports viewing may gradually cause changes in brain structures that lead to a lasting boost in happiness. The researchers concluded that regularly watching sports, particularly popular sports, can serve as an effective way to enhance personal well-being.
The study has far-reaching implications and theoretical contributions to sports management literature. Existing literature has primarily focused on sports fans; however, this study has taken into consideration a larger general population regardless of their relationship to sports consumption. This research can contribute significantly to sports management practices and policymaking for public health.
8. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Common. B. Uncertain. C. Limited. D. Proven.
9. What was the second study based on?
A. Online surveys. B. Case research. C. Field interviews. D. Published data.
10. What can be learned about the third study?
A. It sampled a minimum of sports fans. B. It provided the most objective evidence.
C. It focused on the impacts of live sports. D. It valued subjective measures of well-being.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Why Sports Viewing Should Be Promoted B. How Sports Events Contribute to Happiness
C. What Restricts People’s Sports Consumption D. How Watching Sports Can Boost Well-Being
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了观看体育比赛与幸福感关系的研究,这一发现对体育管理实践和公共卫生政策的制定具有重要意义。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“Despite its recognized positive effects (尽管人们公认体育运动具有积极作用)”可知,人们认同体育运动有积极作用,这里despite是让步关系,因此划线单词表示证据少,即有限的。由此猜测划线词意为“有限的”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The second study, aimed at investigating whether the connection between sports viewing and well-being varied depending on the type of sport observed, surveyed 208 participants online. (第二项研究调查了208名在线参与者,旨在调查观看体育比赛和幸福感之间的联系是否因观察到的运动类型而异)”可知,第二项研究基于在线调查。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The findings revealed that sports viewing activated brain reward circuits, which release feelings of happiness and pleasure. Interestingly, those who reported watching sports more frequently exhibited greater gray matter volume in regions associated with reward circuits, suggesting that regular sports viewing may gradually cause changes in brain structures that lead to a lasting boost in happiness. (研究结果显示,观看体育比赛会激活大脑的奖励回路,从而释放出快乐和愉悦的感觉。有趣的是,那些经常观看体育比赛的人在与奖励回路相关的区域显示出更大的灰质体积,这表明定期观看体育比赛可能会逐渐引起大脑结构的变化,从而持久地提高幸福感)”可知,第三项研究揭示了人们在观看体育比赛时,脑部的奖励回路相关的区域显示出更大的灰质体积,这是客观是事实证据。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“To address this gap, a team of researchers from Japan, started three separate studies to understand the connection between sports viewing and well-being in the general population. (为了解决这一差距,来自日本的一组研究人员开始了三项独立的研究,以了解体育观看与普通人群健康之间的联系)”及第二段“and confirmed that positive well-being was associated with regular sports viewing. (并证实了积极的幸福感与定期观看体育比赛有关)”,第三段“The findings demonstrated that more popular sports, like baseball, made a more significant impact on enhancing well-being compared to less popular sports, such as golf. (研究结果表明,与不太受欢迎的运动(如高尔夫球)相比,更受欢迎的运动(如棒球)对提高幸福感的影响更大)”第四段“The researchers concluded that regularly watching sports, particularly popular sports, can serve as an effective way to enhance personal well-being. (研究人员得出结论,定期观看体育比赛,尤其是流行的体育比赛,可以作为提高个人幸福感的有效方式)”可知,文章通过三个调差研究证实了观看体育运动可以促进健康。由此可知D项“观看体育运动如何促进健康”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。
D
A digital twin is a digital representation of either a physical object, person, or process. This virtual copy can be used to simulate (模拟) behaviour to better understand exposure to different situations and conditions. The object being studied can be fitted with various sensors, each relating to different areas of functionality. The twin can be linked to the data received about different aspects of performance, such as temperature and energy output, and updated in real time as changes are made, helping people and organisations make better decisions.
Digital twins are advantageous because they allow for product designs to be tested continually, as adjustments and redesigns are made, rather than having to test every physical object. A champion sailing team used them to test thousands of boat designs digitally, allowing the team to test thousands of boat designs without needing to physically build them. Equally, the Mercedes Benz Group AG has developed customer twins that allow customers to “test drive” a vehicle without getting behind the wheel.
Such technology is now being explored in healthcare. Digital twinning would allow tailored models to be created for patients and be adjusted based on a person’s health data, genetics, and lifestyle. By comparing individual data to population averages, doctors might use these models to spot health problems early, predict diseases, and propose the safest treatment as a way to either maintain or restore patients’ state. But collecting large amounts of personal data could pose risks of privacy leak.
Another problem surrounds the idea of healthy people seeking medical help to prevent an issue which they have not yet encountered. This is of course helpful to health. However, from a financial point of view, it challenges healthcare systems to revise what should be covered. This revision will depend on whether preventive measures are seen as daily care, treatment, or enhancement, making it difficult to know where the line should be drawn.
Despite what digital twinning presents, its benefits in various fields like manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare are undeniable. With strict management of data and thoughtful policy adjustments, this technology could bridge virtual insights with human needs, ultimately opening up a new both physical and digital world.
12. What is a digital twin capable of?
A. Offering the best choice. B. Varying with changing data.
C. Responding to coming emergencies. D. Tackling the sensors’ misfunctions.
13. In what aspect does a digital twin stand out?
A. It boosts product sales. B. It inspires creative designs.
C. It saves time and resources. D. It guarantees product quality.
14. What acts as a barrier to the revision for healthcare systems?
A. The sorting of health state. B. The risk of abusing medicine.
C. The cost of designing models D. The overusing of personal data.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Changing lives: Digital healthcare rise
B. Seeing double: A dive into digital twins
C. Shouldering challenges: Digital twins care
D. Thinking twice: A trial in digital healthcare
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字孪生技术的概念、优势、在医疗保健领域的应用以及面临的挑战,并强调了其潜在的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The twin can be linked to the data received about different aspects of performance, such as temperature and energy output, and updated in real time as changes are made, helping people and organisations make better decisions. (数字孪生可以与接收到的关于不同性能方面的数据 (如温度和能量输出) 相关联,并在做出更改时实时更新,帮助人们和组织做出更好的决策)”可知,数字孪生能够随着数据的变化而变化。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Digital twins are advantageous because they allow for product designs to be tested continually, as adjustments and redesigns are made, rather than having to test every physical object. (数字孪生的优势在于,它允许在不断调整和重新设计的过程中对产品设计进行持续测试,而不必对每个实物进行测试)”可知,数字孪生技术无需对每个实物进行测试,从而节省了时间和资源,这是其突出的优势。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, from a financial point of view, it challenges healthcare systems to revise what should be covered. This revision will depend on whether preventive measures are seen as daily care, treatment, or enhancement, making it difficult to know where the line should be drawn. (然而,从财务角度来看,它对医疗保健系统提出了挑战,要求其修改应涵盖的内容。这种修改将取决于预防措施是被视为日常护理、治疗还是增强,因此很难确定界限在哪里)”可知,医疗保健系统修改的障碍在于健康状态的分类,即难以确定哪些预防措施应被视为日常护理、治疗还是增强,从而难以确定界限。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A digital twin is a digital representation of either a physical object, person, or process. (数字孪生是物理对象、人或过程的数字表示)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了数字孪生技术的概念、优势、在医疗保健领域的应用以及面临的挑战,并强调了其潜在的好处。因此,B项“Seeing double: A dive into digital twins (看见双重影像:深入探索数字孪生)”作为标题最符合文章主旨,既体现了数字孪生的核心概念,又暗示了文章将深入探讨这一主题。故选B。

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。
Voice notes are a highly divisive medium of communication. There are those, like me, who enjoy both leaving and listening to them; and then there are those who dislike them and feel very strongly about that. ____16____. A poll found that 62% of Americans have sent voice notes, and about 30% communicate this way on a regular basis. But even the voice note lovers among us have our limits. All of us know a voice note bore. ____17____
The first rule: only ever leave voice notes for someone that you are confident likes you. ____18____ It is also somewhat self-indulgent (放纵自己的). While a spot of self-indulgence can be healthy, it is unreasonable to expect someone who dislikes you to indulge you.
Never give complicated instructions in a voice note. ____19____ If you end up leaving a long voice note that contains a mixture of key information and other bits, follow it up with a text that gives the other person the important stuff, so they’re not forced to listen straight away.
You need not keep your messages too short. Leaving a voice note that is under10 seconds long—— unless you are funny or the other person likes you—— is annoying. Type it out instead.
Follow the other person’s cues. If they are responding to your eight-minute specials with one-minute voice messages, take the hint. Also, if your message is longer than about four minutes, you should be open to the possibility that the other person is going to take a long time to listen and respond. If your message is upwards of 10 minutes, they might never listen to it. ____20____
All you need do, really, is remember to use a bit of common sense. Modern innovations need not negate good old-fashioned manners.
A. Be at peace with that.
B. Be responsive and informative.
C. And it is time to establish some ground rules.
D. It seems the haters are losing the battle, though.
E. A voice note is a demand on someone else’s time.
F. It suggests limiting voice notes as much as you can.
G. These should be typed out so the other person can refer back.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是语音信息的现状及使用的一些规则。

【17题详解】
由第二段开头的“The first rule: only ever leave voice notes for someone that you are confident likes you.(第一条准则:只给确定喜欢你的人发语音留言。)”可知,第二空应该要引出后文所讲的规则,C选项“And it is time to establish some ground rules.(现在是时候制定一些基本规则了。)”说明应该制定一些基本规则,引出了后文的规则,符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
由上文“The first rule: only ever leave voice notes for someone that you are confident likes you.(第一条准则:只给确定喜欢你的人发语音留言。)”可知,本空要说跟发语音信息有关的话题,E选项“A voice note is a demand on someone else’s time.(语音留言是在占用别人的时间。)”承接上文,解释了为什么要只给喜欢自己的人发语音信息,符合题意。故选E。
【19题详解】
由上文“Never give complicated instructions in a voice note.(切勿在语音留言中给出复杂的指示。)”可知,本空要说和不要在语音信息中给出复杂指示有关的话题,G选项“These should be typed out so the other person can refer back.(这些信息应该打字发出,以便对方可以随时查阅。)”承接上文,对上文进行了进一步解释,these指代上文的complicated instructions。故选G。
【20题详解】
空前“If your message is upwards of 10 minutes, they might never listen to it.(如果你的留言超过十分钟,对方可能根本就不会听。)”说明如果你的留言超过十分钟,对方可能不会听的,空格处应该说面对这种情况你应该怎么做,A选项“Be at peace with that.(坦然接受这一点。)”说明要坦然接受对方不听你的留言的这种情况,承接上文,符合语境,故选A。
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

On April 6, 1909, six men claimed their place as the first explorers to reach the North Pole.
Many had tried to reach the pole, but Peary’s team___21___them through clever planning. He also gave ___22___to Henson, an African American explorer with___23___ skills. “The team needed his knowledge of the Inuit, and Henson was fluent in their language. Also, he has shared all the physical hardships of my Arctic work,” Peary said.
___24___ winds blew. “Freezing of the face is a(n) ___25___ occurrence,” Henson wrote. “We could even lose fingers or toes. If anyone’s foot began to freeze, another man held the bare foot ___26___ his stomach to warm it up. There was no other way to ___27___ the foot.”

47. 阅读所给材料,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。
Mary watched as students crowded around a notice announcing that the school’s radio station was looking for a second host. Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host.
The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!”
Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills.
The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part.
“Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged.
Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.”
That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. Organizing scripts, preparing playlists and setting the facilities, Mary threw herself into these tasks, treating each one as an opportunity to learn. During breaks, she observed Olivia’s hosting techniques—how she handled technical issues and managed to make the audience feel excited and engaged. When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did. As days turned into weeks, her notebook was filled with her thoughts and reflections. Mary felt more confident, and she hoped she could finally share her voice with the school.
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. Mary stood up, her palms sweating but voice steady. “I’ve learned a lot these days. May I try?” The studio fell silent. Mr. Carter studied her determined face and nodded. Holding the cold mic tightly, Mary’s clear voice flowed through speakers. She perfectly reported the news that day, played up beat music, and even shared fun stories about their school’s history. Students paused their sandwiches, recognizing the new voice. By broadcast end, the radio office buzzed with approval. Mr. Carter smiled, “Seems we already have our second host.” Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Mary是一个害羞但怀揣电台主持梦想的女孩,尽管在公开场合讲话会让她紧张,甚至被同学嘲笑,但她仍坚持每晚练习朗读和学习演讲技巧。在学校电台招募新主持的面试中,她虽然完美完成了准备好的部分,却在即兴环节表现不佳。评委Mr. Carter指出,真正的主持需要真情实感而非机械朗读。尽管没通过面试,Mary并未放弃,而是决定以辅助身份加入电台团队,从中学习如何成为一名真正的主持人。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她征求了Mr. Carter的同意,开始做一些小任务。”可知,第一段可描述Mary如何在电台团队中向他人学习,充实自己,让自己变得自信。
②由第二段首句内容“后来有一天,Mr. Carter带着意想不到的消息冲了进来:Olivia突然生病了。”可知,第二段可描述Mary抓住了这次机会,勇敢推荐自己去主持,并取得成功。
2. 续写线索:作辅助——每天完成工作的同时向他人学习——努力练习——变得自信————自荐——成功——感悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①投身于:throw oneself into/immerse oneself in
②观察:observe/notice
③宣布:announce/declare
情绪类
①坚定的:determined/ resolute
②兴奋的:excited/thrilled
【点睛】[高分句型1]When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did.(when引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2]Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.(which引导的非限制性定语从句)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Travelling by rail holds a romantic and old-fashioned appeal that can't be matched by flying or driving. By taking the slow route, you get to experience and interact with an area in a completely different way.
1
THE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER
Where: Canada, from Vancouver to Banff, Jasper and Calgary.
When: In June, which is springtime in the Rockies, complete with beautiful flowers and plenty of wildlife.
Duration: Between two and eight days travelling only in daylight, staying in luxurious hotels.
Highlights: Unmatched views of the Rocky Mountains, incredible luxury at every stage of the trip, traditional native storytelling, wine classes and natural history workshops.
2
EASTERN AND ORIENTAL EXPRESS
Where: From Thailand, through Malaysia, to Singapore.
When: April and May, for the least wet weather.
Duration: Trips vary from two to eight days.
Highlights: You’ll travel through the heart of Southeast Asia. From golden temples and rice fields to big cities, this luxurious train showcases the best of the countries it passes through.
3
THE GHAN
Where: Australia, from Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs.
When: Going during the wet season (December, January) will allow you to see more wildlife and tropical features in the north, though peak season is usually the winter.
Duration: Going straight through takes 52 hours. There are get-off points from which you can take tours.
Highlights: Going through Australia’s Red Centre with blue skies, red earth and not much else — an unforgettably beautiful and peaceful experience.
4
THE ROYAL SCOTSMAN
Where: Around the Scottish Highlands or all the way around Great Britain.
When: Warmer weather and up to 20 hours of daylight in June makes it the perfect time to watch birds flying over mirror-like lakes, or go in October for autumn colours and the rather special deer-mating season.
Duration: Trips can be as short as two days or as long as seven.
Highlights: Possibly the most expensive train journey in the world. You’ll be treated like a member of the monarchy (王室). Superb cuisine, fine wines and carriages (火车客车厢) that look like rooms at Balmoral Castle await those willing to part with a minimum of £2350 per person for a two-night trip.
1. The above information is mainly aimed at__________.
A. selling some package tour products
B. advising people to travel by rail for business

C. The Ghan D. The Royal Scotsman
3. What can be learned about the four routes?
A. One of the routes runs in more than one country.
B. Winter is the recommended season for the Ghan.
C. The Rocky Mountaineer only features natural views.
D. The Royal Scotsman is the shortest of the four routes.
B
Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
4. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______.
A. poetic but abstract
B. scientific but tricky
C. strange and inaccurate
D. encouraging and professional
5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”?
A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts.
B. She needed online resources for air conditioning.
C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
D. She missed watching news about the hurricane.
6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather?
A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
B. Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C. Watching weather reports on television.
D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
7. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.
C
Sports, beyond entertainment, promote community and belonging, benefiting both individuals and society. Despite its recognized positive effects, finite evidence exists on the link between watching sports and well-being. To address this gap, a team of researchers from Japan, started three separate studies to understand the connection between sports viewing and well-being in the general population. To avoid biased (有偏见的) findings, their studies focused on both subjective and objective measures of well-being.
In the first study, the researchers analyzed publicly available survey data from 20,000 Japanese residents and confirmed that positive well-being was associated with regular sports viewing. However, this study was unable to provide deeper insight into the relationship between sports consumption and well-being.
The second study, aimed at investigating whether the connection between sports viewing and well-being varied depending on the type of sport observed, surveyed 208 participants online. The experiment exposed them to various sports videos, assessing their well-being both before and after viewing. The findings demonstrated that more popular sports, like baseball, made a more significant impact on enhancing well-being compared to less popular sports, such as golf.
The most significant results came from the third study, in which neuroimaging (神经成像) techniques were used to analyze changes in the brain activity of 14 Japanese participants while they watched sports videos. The findings revealed that sports viewing activated brain reward circuits, which release feelings of happiness and pleasure. Interestingly, those who reported watching sports more frequently exhibited greater gray matter volume in regions associated with reward circuits, suggesting that regular sports viewing may gradually cause changes in brain structures that lead to a lasting boost in happiness. The researchers concluded that regularly watching sports, particularly popular sports, can serve as an effective way to enhance personal well-being.
The study has far-reaching implications and theoretical contributions to sports management literature. Existing literature has primarily focused on sports fans; however, this study has taken into consideration a larger general population regardless of their relationship to sports consumption. This research can contribute significantly to sports management practices and policymaking for public health.
8. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Common. B. Uncertain. C. Limited. D. Proven.
9. What was the second study based on?
A. Online surveys. B. Case research. C. Field interviews. D. Published data.
10. What can be learned about the third study?
A. It sampled a minimum of sports fans. B. It provided the most objective evidence.
C. It focused on the impacts of live sports. D. It valued subjective measures of well-being.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Why Sports Viewing Should Be Promoted B. How Sports Events Contribute to Happiness
C. What Restricts People’s Sports Consumption D. How Watching Sports Can Boost Well-Being

A digital twin is a digital representation of either a physical object, person, or process. This virtual copy can be used to simulate (模拟) behaviour to better understand exposure to different situations and conditions. The object being studied can be fitted with various sensors, each relating to different areas of functionality. The twin can be linked to the data received about different aspects of performance, such as temperature and energy output, and updated in real time as changes are made, helping people and organisations make better decisions.
Digital twins are advantageous because they allow for product designs to be tested continually, as adjustments and redesigns are made, rather than having to test every physical object. A champion sailing team used them to test thousands of boat designs digitally, allowing the team to test thousands of boat designs without needing to physically build them. Equally, the Mercedes Benz Group AG has developed customer twins that allow customers to “test drive” a vehicle without getting behind the wheel.
Such technology is now being explored in healthcare. Digital twinning would allow tailored models to be created for patients and be adjusted based on a person’s health data, genetics, and lifestyle. By comparing individual data to population averages, doctors might use these models to spot health problems early, predict diseases, and propose the safest treatment as a way to either maintain or restore patients’ state. But collecting large amounts of personal data could pose risks of privacy leak.
Another problem surrounds the idea of healthy people seeking medical help to prevent an issue which they have not yet encountered. This is of course helpful to health. However, from a financial point of view, it challenges healthcare systems to revise what should be covered. This revision will depend on whether preventive measures are seen as daily care, treatment, or enhancement, making it difficult to know where the line should be drawn.
Despite what digital twinning presents, its benefits in various fields like manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare are undeniable. With strict management of data and thoughtful policy adjustments, this technology could bridge virtual insights with human needs, ultimately opening up a new both physical and digital world.
12. What is a digital twin capable of?
A. Offering the best choice. B. Varying with changing data.
C. Responding to coming emergencies. D. Tackling the sensors’ misfunctions.
13. In what aspect does a digital twin stand out?
A. It boosts product sales. B. It inspires creative designs.
C. It saves time and resources. D. It guarantees product quality.
14. What acts as a barrier to the revision for healthcare systems?
A. The sorting of health state. B. The risk of abusing medicine.
C. The cost of designing models D. The overusing of personal data.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Changing lives: Digital healthcare rise
B. Seeing double: A dive into digital twins
C. Shouldering challenges: Digital twins care
D. Thinking twice: A trial in digital healthcare

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。
Voice notes are a highly divisive medium of communication. There are those, like me, who enjoy both leaving and listening to them; and then there are those who dislike them and feel very strongly about that. ____16____. A poll found that 62% of Americans have sent voice notes, and about 30% communicate this way on a regular basis. But even the voice note lovers among us have our limits. All of us know a voice note bore. ____17____
The first rule: only ever leave voice notes for someone that you are confident likes you. ____18____ It is also somewhat self-indulgent (放纵自己的). While a spot of self-indulgence can be healthy, it is unreasonable to expect someone who dislikes you to indulge you.
Never give complicated instructions in a voice note. ____19____ If you end up leaving a long voice note that contains a mixture of key information and other bits, follow it up with a text that gives the other person the important stuff, so they’re not forced to listen straight away.
You need not keep your messages too short. Leaving a voice note that is under10 seconds long—— unless you are funny or the other person likes you—— is annoying. Type it out instead.
Follow the other person’s cues. If they are responding to your eight-minute specials with one-minute voice messages, take the hint. Also, if your message is longer than about four minutes, you should be open to the possibility that the other person is going to take a long time to listen and respond. If your message is upwards of 10 minutes, they might never listen to it. ____20____
All you need do, really, is remember to use a bit of common sense. Modern innovations need not negate good old-fashioned manners.
A. Be at peace with that.
B. Be responsive and informative.
C. And it is time to establish some ground rules.
D. It seems the haters are losing the battle, though.
E. A voice note is a demand on someone else’s time.
F. It suggests limiting voice notes as much as you can.
G. These should be typed out so the other person can refer back.

Mary watched as students crowded around a notice announcing that the school’s radio station was looking for a second host. Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host.
The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!”
Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills.
The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part.
“Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged.
Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.”
That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill.
