Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter.
He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.”
Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white.
It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession.
Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.
4. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Strengthened. B. Assessed. C. Challenged. D. Reduced.
5. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning?
A. He took no passion for being a presenter.
B. He feared to stand in front of the camera.
C. He lacked confidence because of his color.
D. He obtained little support from his parents.
6. Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands?
A. It led to a life-long friendship.
B. It enriched his life experience.
C. It refined his photography skills.
D. It started his own career journey.
7. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience?
A. Great minds think alike. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C
Community-based tourism (CBT) is a type of sustainable (可持续的) tourism where residents invite travellers to visit or stay in their communities with the purpose of providing an experience of the local cultures and traditions. These communities are often rural and economically struggling, and CBT gives them the opportunity to take full ownership of their area's individualized tourist industry as business owners, managers, service providers, and employees. Most importantly, it ensures that the economic benefits go directly towards local families.
Surveys show that travellers are becoming more interested in sustainable travel trends and supporting small businesses and unique communities. An American Express poll of travellers in Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Mexico, and the U. K. found that68% plan to be more aware of sustainable travel companies, while 72% want to help improve tourism revenue (收入) in the local economies of the destinations they visit.
CBT differs slightly from ecotourism and voluntourism. Rather than focusing specifically on nature or charity, CBT is meant to benefit the community and its environments as a whole. From the traveller's perspective. CBT offers the chance to immerse (沉浸) oneself in local cultures and participate in a completely unique tourism experience.
Responsible Travel, a UK-based activism company that has fostered sustainable travel opportunities since 2001, says that CBT can enable tourists to discover cultures and wildlife, they might not have experienced in traditional travel situations. “For many, there is nothing like making a connection with people whose lives are so very different to our own,” the organization writes. “Traditional communities often have far more to teach us about our society and our life than we can teach them about our world.”
CBT is often developed by the destination's local government but can also get assistance from non-profit organizations, other community numbers, private funding, or even partnerships with travel companies. Most of the time, community-based tourism projects are successful due to cooperation between the community and some kind of1ourisn experts.
8. In which aspect does the CBT benefit the community?
A. Preserving the local cultures.
B. Helping local families to make money.
C. Providing funds for charity organizations.
D. Improving the development of natural resources.
9. What can travellers expect to do when they participate in CBT?
A. Provide community service. B. Volunteer as environmentalists.
C. Discover business opportunities. D. Learn more about life and society.
10. What's the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How CBT works. B. How people like CBT.
C. What CBT really means. D. What contributes to CBT.
11. What's the author's attitude towards CBT?
A. Favorable. B. Uninterested.
C. Skeptical. D. Disapproving.
D
Scientists have found a way to decode (解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to copy each word, a team reports. “It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an author of the study.
Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language. Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner, which detects signs of activity across the brain. Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet. Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain, not just in areas associated with speech and language. After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner, the MRI data was sent to a computer. It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words. Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.
The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people, where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain. With an MRI-based system, no one has to get surgery.
But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions. “What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head? That’s potentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably, though. It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists. Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts.
12. What is special about the Texas team’s study?
A. Brain can be reconstructed. B. Sensor signals can be improved.
C. Expression can be perfected. D. Meanings can be comprehended.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The way of speech decoding. B. Steps of word matching.
C. The process of an experiment. D. Patterns of brain activity.
14. What can be implied about MRI scans from the last paragraph?
A. They are a double-edged sword. B. They are potentially harmful to life.
C. They are well worth researching. D. They are helpful to treat brain disease.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning B. A Decoder That Can Read Your Mind
C. MRI Scanner: Still a Long Way to Go D. MRI Scanner: Bridge Message Gap

51. 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。
The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy — new classes, new faces, and the quiet hope of starting over. As a 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen.
So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid.
A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time.
At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled.
By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give.
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.

Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter.
He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.”
Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white.
It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession.
Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.
4. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Strengthened. B. Assessed. C. Challenged. D. Reduced.
5. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning?
A. He took no passion for being a presenter.
B. He feared to stand in front of the camera.
C. He lacked confidence because of his color.
D. He obtained little support from his parents.
6. Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands?
A. It led to a life-long friendship.
B. It enriched his life experience.
C. It refined his photography skills.
D. It started his own career journey.
7. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience?
A. Great minds think alike. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D

Community-based tourism (CBT) is a type of sustainable (可持续的) tourism where residents invite travellers to visit or stay in their communities with the purpose of providing an experience of the local cultures and traditions. These communities are often rural and economically struggling, and CBT gives them the opportunity to take full ownership of their area's individualized tourist industry as business owners, managers, service providers, and employees. Most importantly, it ensures that the economic benefits go directly towards local families.
Surveys show that travellers are becoming more interested in sustainable travel trends and supporting small businesses and unique communities. An American Express poll of travellers in Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Mexico, and the U. K. found that68% plan to be more aware of sustainable travel companies, while 72% want to help improve tourism revenue (收入) in the local economies of the destinations they visit.
CBT differs slightly from ecotourism and voluntourism. Rather than focusing specifically on nature or charity, CBT is meant to benefit the community and its environments as a whole. From the traveller's perspective. CBT offers the chance to immerse (沉浸) oneself in local cultures and participate in a completely unique tourism experience.
Responsible Travel, a UK-based activism company that has fostered sustainable travel opportunities since 2001, says that CBT can enable tourists to discover cultures and wildlife, they might not have experienced in traditional travel situations. “For many, there is nothing like making a connection with people whose lives are so very different to our own,” the organization writes. “Traditional communities often have far more to teach us about our society and our life than we can teach them about our world.”
CBT is often developed by the destination's local government but can also get assistance from non-profit organizations, other community numbers, private funding, or even partnerships with travel companies. Most of the time, community-based tourism projects are successful due to cooperation between the community and some kind of1ourisn experts.
8. In which aspect does the CBT benefit the community?
A. Preserving the local cultures.
B. Helping local families to make money.
C. Providing funds for charity organizations.
D. Improving the development of natural resources.
9. What can travellers expect to do when they participate in CBT?
A. Provide community service. B. Volunteer as environmentalists.
C. Discover business opportunities. D. Learn more about life and society.
10. What's the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How CBT works. B. How people like CBT.
C. What CBT really means. D. What contributes to CBT.
11. What's the author's attitude towards CBT?
A. Favorable. B. Uninterested.
C. Skeptical. D. Disapproving.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】

Scientists have found a way to decode (解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to copy each word, a team reports. “It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an author of the study.
Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language. Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner, which detects signs of activity across the brain. Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet. Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain, not just in areas associated with speech and language. After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner, the MRI data was sent to a computer. It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words. Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.
The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people, where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain. With an MRI-based system, no one has to get surgery.
But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions. “What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head? That’s potentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably, though. It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists. Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts.
12. What is special about the Texas team’s study?
A. Brain can be reconstructed. B. Sensor signals can be improved.
C. Expression can be perfected. D. Meanings can be comprehended.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The way of speech decoding. B. Steps of word matching.
C. The process of an experiment. D. Patterns of brain activity.
14. What can be implied about MRI scans from the last paragraph?
A. They are a double-edged sword. B. They are potentially harmful to life.
C. They are well worth researching. D. They are helpful to treat brain disease.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning B. A Decoder That Can Read Your Mind
C. MRI Scanner: Still a Long Way to Go D. MRI Scanner: Bridge Message Gap
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段““It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an author of the study.”(该研究的作者之一亚历山大·胡特(Alexander Huth)说:“这是在理解单词背后的意思。”)根据第二段“Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. (以前解码语言的努力依赖于直接放置在大脑表面的传感器。传感器检测与表达单词有关的区域的信号。但卡耐基梅隆大学的心理学教授马塞尔·贾斯特说,德克萨斯团队的方法是试图“解码更多自由形式的思想”)”可知,德克萨斯研究小组的研究的特别之处是意思可以被理解。故选D。

第三节(满分20分)
51. 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。
The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy — new classes, new faces, and the quiet hope of starting over. As a 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen.
So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid.
A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time.
At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled.
By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give.
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. For a long moment, the room went silent — you could have heard a pin drop. Then Olivia spoke, calm and steady: “It’s fine. We’ll start from scratch.” One by one, the others offered advice, shared notes, and cracked small jokes that eased the tension. From that day on, I stayed after school until the lights went out — repeating lines, practicing arguments, recording myself to correct every pause. My voice wavered, my notes were full of red marks, but fear slowly turned into focus. I was no longer pretending; I was learning to earn my place.
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. My palms were sweating, and my heartbeat drowned out the audience. When I stumbled over a point, Olivia jumped in smoothly, guiding me back on track. Our teammates whispered reminders and adjusted timing, and by the final round, we were in sync. When the judges announced our victory, the applause felt like sunlight breaking through. Standing there, I understood something deeper than winning: the path I’d faked at first had led me to something real — courage I had built, friends who believed in me, and a place where I truly fit.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索展开。文章讲述转校生“我”为融入新集体,谎称曾获辩论赛冠军;被新同桌Olivia拉进校队后却露馅。在愧疚与恐惧中,“我”最终选择坦白,得到队友理解与帮助,历经苦练登上决赛舞台,完成从“伪装”到“真实成长”的蜕变。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.(下次排练时,我终于向大家坦白了真相。)”可知,第一段可描写“我”坦白后短暂的尴尬、队友的反应、集体决定从零开始辅导“我”,以及“我”苦练辩论技巧的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.(一个月后,Olivia和我一同踏上舞台,迎接大赛。)”可知,第二段可描写比赛当天“我”的紧张、团队默契配合、最终获胜,以及“我”领悟到“勇气与归属感”这一更深层的收获。
2. 续写线索: 坦白真相——团队包容——集体辅导——刻苦训练——赛场配合——获胜顿悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①缓解:ease / alleviate
②留下:stay / remain
③变成:turn into / change into
情绪类
①安静的:silent / quiet
②镇静:calm / composed
【点睛】[高分句型1] One by one, the others offered advice, shared notes, and cracked small jokes that eased the tension.(运用了that引导的限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] When I stumbled over a point, Olivia jumped in smoothly, guiding me back on track.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语)
[高分句型3] Standing there, I understood something deeper than winning: the path I’d faked at first had led me to something real — courage I had built, friends who believed in me, and a place where I truly fit.(运用了现在分词作状语、who和where引导的定语从句)
