Now there’s a limit of 300 visitors per day. W: Well, I think it’s a good decision. M: I agree. Scientists there believe that the beach is a natural resource they have to preserve. Actually there’re many other great beaches in Thailand. We don’t have to visit that one. W: You’re right. But I don’t know any other beaches. M: It’s easy. Let’s search for some information on websites and then make a decision. W: Good idea. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. When did Ava create her first book? A. At the age of 4. B. At the age of 5.

To meet different visitors' interests, the city has developed a range of themed winter programs, combining sightseeing, art and traditional culture. Ice Architecture Park This area features large ice buildings made from blocks cut from the Songhua River. At night, colorful lighting systems turn the ice castles and towers into shining landmarks. In addition to sightseeing, visitors can try ice slides and skating, making the park both visually impressive and entertaining. International Snow Sculpture Expo Held on Sun Island, this exhibition invites artists from different countries to create large snow sculptures based on annual themes. Information boards are placed beside the works, explaining the design ideas and creative process. The event has become an important platform for artistic exchange. Winter Folk Culture Tours These guided tours focus on Harbin's winter traditions and local history. Visitors can walk through historic streets, learn about old ice-related customs, and enjoy traditional folk performances in the evening. The tours aim to deepen visitors’ understanding of the city's cultural roots. Popular stops include Central Street, where people can admire European-style architecture and taste local snacks like Harbin red sausage and Russian bread. Family Ice Workshop Designed especially for families and school groups, this workshop offers short courses on making small ice lanterns. Under instructors’ guidance, participants complete their own works while learning basic skills of traditional ice craftsmanship. Each session lasts about an hour and provides all necessary tools, making it a fun and educational activity for children of all ages. Through these well-organized sections, Harbin not only provides entertainment, but also promotes cultural exchange and winter tourism development. 21.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了哈尔滨冬季开发的四个主题活动项目——冰建艺术园、国际雪雕博览会、冬季民俗文化游和家庭冰灯工坊，分别概述了每个项目的核心特色和体验内容，旨在吸引不同兴趣的游客前往游览。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ice Architecture Park部分中的“In addition to sightseeing, visitors can try ice slides and skating, making the park both visually impressive and entertaining.(除了观光，游客还可以尝试冰滑梯和滑冰，使公园在视觉上既令人印象深刻又富有娱乐性)”可知，除了观光，游客还可以体验冰滑梯和滑冰。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据International Snow Sculpture Expo部分中的“Held on Sun Island, this exhibition invites artists from different countries to create large snow sculptures based on annual themes. Information boards are placed beside the works, explaining the design ideas and creative process. The event has become an important platform for artistic exchange.(本次展览在太阳岛举行，邀请来自不同国家的艺术家根据年度主题创作大型雪雕。作品旁边放置了信息板，解释设计理念和创作过程。该活动已成为艺术交流的重要平台)”可知，该项目邀请各国艺术家创作雪雕，并设有信息板解释设计理念和创作过程，是一个艺术交流平台，因此最可能吸引对艺术感兴趣的学生。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，以及第一段“As winter approaches, Harbin in Northeast China becomes a center of ice and snow activities. To meet different visitors' interests, the city has developed a range of themed winter programs, combining sightseeing, art and traditional culture.(随着冬季的临近，中国东北的哈尔滨成为冰雪活动的中心。为了满足不同游客的兴趣，该市开发了一系列主题冬季项目，将观光、艺术和传统文化相结合)”可知，文章开篇引出哈尔滨的冰雪活动，随后分段介绍了四个主题项目的具体内容和特色，整体旨在向潜在游客宣传哈尔滨的冬季旅游项目。所以这种介绍性的、略带宣传色彩的文字最可能出现在旅游杂志中。故选A。 B Mike Pavlik sees a lot while recovering stolen bikes around Minneapolis. Once, pretending to be a potential buyer, he dressed up in a sport coat and met a seller. Pavlik took note of the bike’s make, model, and markings, confirming it was the one he was hunting. He asked to take it for a test ride. The seller wanted some collateral (抵押物). “Do I look like the kind of guy that steals bikes, dude?” Pavlik recalls asking the man. Then he just pedaled off. An hour later, the seller texted him, “I guess you’re not coming back?” Pavlik is part of an unusual army: amateur detectives who find stolen bikes and return them to their owners. As bike theft becomes more profitable, grassroots efforts to frustrate thieves are springing up nationwide. The volunteers say recovering bikes can be strangely fun and addictive. Pavlik, who is 51, works part-time at Trader Joe’s when he is not serving as a detective for Twin Cities Stolen Bikes, which has a Facebook page with 11,000 members. Pavlik has a certain skill set from working as a bartender and a National Guard police officer. “I can read people and talk to them really well,” he says. “I’m also not afraid to get in someone’s face. Most of these guys are cowards (胆小鬼).” Said a Minneapolis police spokesman: “While we commend all residents who step up to improve their communities, safety and lawfulness are the most important. We do not support aggressive strategies that put anyone in harm’s way.” One guy who Pavlik says allegedly (据说) runs a bike theft ring also stands out. The first time he confronted the man with a bike’s proof of ownership, the man pedaled off. Pavlik gave chase on his bike and shot him with pepper spray until he crashed. “I got him,” he says. “Then I just lifted the stolen bike onto my shoulder and sped off.” Another victory. 24. Why did Pavlik ask to take the bike for a test ride? A. To check the bike’s condition. B. To impress the seller. C. To take back the bike. D. To show he is a serious buyer. 25. What is the main reason for the rise of amateur bike detectives? A. Social media’s role in organization. B. The rise in bike theft cases. C. Volunteers’ enjoyment of bike recovery. D. The police’s failure to stop bike theft. 26. What does the police spokesman imply? A. Pavlik’s methods are against the law. B. Residents’ actions are worth encouraging. C. Improving community living safety is urgent. D. Dangerous situations should be left to the police. 27. Which of the following best describes Pavlik? A. Brave and skillful. B. Friendly and honest. C. Confident and sociable. D. Kind and patient. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了业余侦探Mike Pavlik如何找回被盗自行车并归还给失主，以及业余侦探群体的兴起和警方对此的看法。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mike Pavlik sees a lot while recovering stolen bikes around Minneapolis. Once, pretending to be a potential buyer, he dressed up in a sport coat and met a seller. Pavlik took note of the bike’s make, model, and markings, confirming it was the one he was hunting. He asked to take it for a test ride. The seller wanted some collateral (抵押物).(Mike Pavlik在明尼阿波利斯各地追回被盗自行车的过程中，见识过形形色色的人和事。有一次，他假扮成潜在买家，身穿休闲西装去和一名卖家碰面。Pavlik记下了这辆自行车的品牌、型号与特殊标记，确认这正是他一直在追查的那辆车。他提出想要试车骑行，而卖家则要求他提供抵押物。)”以及第二段中“Then he just pedaled off. An hour later, the seller texted him, “I guess you’re not coming back?”(随后，他直接骑车扬长而去。一小时后，卖家给他发了短信：“我猜你不打算回来了？”)”他骑走自行车可知，Pavlik要求试骑是为了拿回自行车。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As bike theft becomes more profitable, grassroots efforts to frustrate thieves are springing up nationwide. The volunteers say recovering bikes can be strangely fun and addictive.(随着盗窃自行车的牟利空间越来越大，各地纷纷涌现出民间自发组织，打击偷车贼、遏制盗车行为。这些志愿者表示，找回自行车这件事有种奇特的乐趣，容易让人上瘾。)”可知，业余自行车侦探兴起的主要原因是自行车盗窃案的增加。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Said a Minneapolis police spokesman: “While we commend all residents who step up to improve their communities, safety and lawfulness are the most important. We do not support aggressive strategies that put anyone in harm’s way.”(明尼阿波利斯市警方发言人说：“我们赞赏所有主动维护社区环境的市民，但安全与守法永远是第一位的。我们不支持任何具有攻击性、会将人置于危险之中的行事方式。”)”可知，警方发言人暗示危险的情况应该留给警察处理。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Pavlik has a certain skill set from working as a bartender and a National Guard police officer. “I can read people and talk to them really well,” he says. “I’m also not afraid to get in someone’s face. Most of these guys are cowards (胆小鬼).”(Pavlik曾做过酒保和国民警卫队警察，他有一定的技能。“我能很好地读懂别人，和他们交谈，”他说。“我也不怕与人对峙。这些人大多数都是胆小鬼。”)”以及最后一段“The first time he confronted the man with a bike’s proof of ownership, the man pedaled off. Pavlik gave chase on his bike and shot him with pepper spray until he crashed. “I got him,” he says. “Then I just lifted the stolen bike onto my shoulder and sped off.” Another victory.(第一次，他拿着自行车的所有权证明与那个人对峙时，那个人骑车逃走了。Pavlik骑着自行车追赶他，并用胡椒喷雾喷射他，直到他撞车。“我抓住他了，”他说。“然后我只是把偷来的自行车扛在肩上，飞快地离开了。”又一个胜利。)”可知，Pavlik勇敢且熟练。故选A。 C In today’s globalized world, plastic pollution has emerged as a major environmental concern. Every year, over 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide, much of which is designed for single use. The convenience of disposable packaging — for food, drinks, and consumer goods — has led to an enormous increase in waste. Although plastics are lightweight and flexible, these very properties make them difficult to collect and recycle efficiently. The impact on the planet extends far beyond visual pollution. It is estimated that more than 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually, affecting over 700 marine species. Seabirds, turtles, and fish often mistake plastic for food, which may lead to injury or death. Moreover, plastic debris breaks down into micro-plastics — tiny particles that can be absorbed by marine life and eventually enter the human food chain. Recent studies have detected micro-plastics in tap water, air, and even human bodies, although the long-term health effects remain uncertain. In response, governments and organizations have launched many initiatives. Some nations have banned certain single-use plastics, such as straws or shopping bags. Others focus on boosting recycling rates or offering incentives (奖励) to companies that use biodegradable materials. However, these approaches face multiple hurdles. Recycling infrastructure is inadequate in many regions, and biodegradable plastics require specific conditions to decompose, which are not always available. Experts stress the need for a combination of policy, technology, and individual action. Dr. Anna Carter, a marine biologist, points out that education and public awareness play a powerful role. “When people understand the consequences of daily choices,” she says, “they are more likely to reduce unnecessary packaging, select reusable products, and participate in local clean-ups.” Innovative companies are also investing in new materials — like plant-based plastics — which promise to be more eco-friendly in the long run. Ultimately, solving plastic pollution requires collaboration between governments, industries, and citizens. While progress has been made, the challenge is ongoing. Dr. Carter insists, “Every effort, big or small, can spark change. It starts with everyone.” 28. Why is plastic pollution a major concern? A. Plastic is cheap to produce. B. Plastic products are convenient to use. C. Plastic waste is increasing rapidly. D. Plastic is single-use and hard to recycle. 29. How does the author show the impact of plastic pollution? A. By presenting experimental results. B. By presenting data and examples. C. By analyzing survey reports. D. By quoting findings from experts. 30. The underlined word “hurdles” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. difficulties B. requirements C. drawbacks D. changes 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To present expert views on solutions. B. To highlight new materials for sustainability. C. To raise awareness and call for action. D. To report studies on plastic harm. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球塑料污染的严峻现状及其对海洋生态和人类健康的深远影响，列举了各国政府采取的应对措施及其面临的挑战，最后引用专家观点，呼吁政策、技术与个人行动相结合，共同应对这一全球性问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every year, over 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide, much of which is designed for single use. The convenience of disposable packaging — for food, drinks, and consumer goods — has led to an enormous increase in waste. Although plastics are lightweight and flexible, these very properties make them difficult to collect and recycle efficiently.(全球每年生产的塑料超过4亿吨，其中大部分是一次性使用的。食品、饮料和消费品的一次性包装带来的便利性，导致了垃圾数量的急剧增加。尽管塑料重量轻且柔韧，但正是这些特性使得它们难以被高效收集和回收)”可知，塑料污染之所以成为主要问题，是因为塑料是一次性的且难以回收。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It is estimated that more than 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually, affecting over 700 marine species. Seabirds, turtles, and fish often mistake plastic for food, which may lead to injury or death.(据估计，每年有超过800万吨塑料进入海洋，影响超过700种海洋生物。海鸟、海龟和鱼类经常将塑料误认为食物，这可能导致受伤或死亡)”可知，作者通过呈现数据和实例来展示塑料污染的影响。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“However, these approaches face multiple hurdles. Recycling infrastructure is inadequate in many regions, and biodegradable plastics require specific conditions to decompose, which are not always available.(然而，这些方法面临多重hurdles。许多地区的回收基础设施不足，生物降解塑料需要特定条件才能分解，而这些条件并不总是具备)”可知，这些方法面临多重困难，所以“hurdles”意为“困难”。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, solving plastic pollution requires collaboration between governments, industries, and citizens. While progress has been made, the challenge is ongoing. Dr. Carter insists, “Every effort, big or small, can spark change. It starts with everyone.”(最终，解决塑料污染需要政府、行业和公民之间的合作。虽然已经取得了进展，但挑战仍在继续。卡特博士坚持说：“每一个努力，无论大小，都能引发改变。这始于每个人。”)”可知，文章的主要目的是提高人们的意识并呼吁采取行动。故选C。 D At times our emotions can seem like unreasonable responses, but our brains have carefully evolved these mechanisms with just one target: keeping us alive. While we interpret different emotions as positive or negative, the most ancient parts of the human brain developed them on the principle that we must survive. We evolved emotions as a means of communicative function and as a way to help us navigate social interactions and our environment safely: they are designed to protect us. Our fear responses were originally a survival strategy that warned us of potential dangers, such as our inborn unease around spiders and snakes. Then there is the feeling of disgust, which warns us of foods or other substances that may be dangerous. Our other emotions are responses to social interactions that keep us part of a group. We are fundamentally a social species, and throughout our evolution have relied on our tribe to help us survive by working together to find food and shelter. Anger is a response to perceived social threats or a signal of dominance; pride can help us to boost our social status, while shame is intended to decrease our standing within a group. These emotions maintain the social balance of our tribe — who we follow, who we trust, who we care about. The fundamental emotions that motivate us individually are almost always sadness and happiness. Sadness results from loss, and serves the biological purpose of motivating a person to recover that loss, whether it is a young child searching for their mother in a supermarket or someone trying hard to get a new job after being dismissed. But the ultimate human emotion is happiness, and we are all in search of it. When you’re sitting around a campfire, safe in the countryside with some close friends and good food, you feel happiness because you have found the resources that your primitive brain is seeking. The next time you sit in an airport departure lounge, look for the emotions. Our bodies have created these experiences — the tears as we say goodbye, the smiles and laughter as we are reunited — for the purpose of keeping us alive. Our emotions and feelings are fundamentally what make us human, but this means we’re in for a bit of a roller coaster along the way. 32. What does the author say about emotions? A. They appear illogical at times. B. They developed to ensure our survival. C. They are viewed as either good or bad. D. They signal threats from certain substances. 33. According to the text, when does happiness occur? A. When people's emotional needs are met. B. When we recover from a painful loss. C. When people get along with their group. D. When our ancient brain gets what it wants. 34. Why does the author mention "roller coaster" in the last paragraph? A. To show that emotions are unpredictable. B. To stress emotions are hard to control. C. To explain the ups and downs of emotions. D. To describe the exciting nature of emotions. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Purpose Behind Our Feelings B. How Emotions Shape Our Lives C. The Social Nature of Emotions D. Emotions: Protection or More? 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人类情绪的进化根源，指出恐惧、厌恶、愤怒、悲伤、快乐等情绪并非无理反应，而是大脑为了确保生存、维持社会联系而精心设计的保护机制，并强调情绪虽带来起伏，却是人性的根本。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At times our emotions can seem like unreasonable responses, but our brains have carefully evolved these mechanisms with just one target: keeping us alive. While we interpret different emotions as positive or negative, the most ancient parts of the human brain developed them on the principle that we must survive. We evolved emotions as a means of communicative function and as a way to help us navigate social interactions and our environment safely: they are designed to protect us.(有时我们的情绪似乎是不合理的反应，但我们的大脑已经仔细地进化了这些机制，只有一个目标：让我们活着。虽然我们将不同的情绪解释为积极或消极，但人类大脑最古老的部分是基于我们必须生存的原则发展起来的。我们进化出的情绪是一种交流功能，也是帮助我们安全地驾驭社交互动和环境的一种方式：它们旨在保护我们)”可知，作者明确指出情绪进化的唯一目标是保证我们存活，它们是用来保护我们的。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“When you’re sitting around a campfire, safe in the countryside with some close friends and good food, you feel happiness because you have found the resources that your primitive brain is seeking.(当你坐在篝火旁，与一些亲密的朋友和美味的食物安全地呆在乡下时，你会感到幸福，因为你找到了原始大脑正在寻找的资源)”可知，当人们身处安全环境、与朋友共享美食时感到快乐，是因为找到了原始大脑所寻求的资源。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our emotions and feelings are fundamentally what make us human, but this means we’re in for a bit of a roller coaster along the way.(我们的情绪和感受从根本上使我们成为人类，但这意味着我们一路上会有点过山车)”可知，作者用“roller coaster”比喻情绪如同过山车一样有高有低、起伏不定，这是作为人类必然要经历的情感体验。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段的“At times our emotions can seem like unreasonable responses, but our brains have carefully evolved these mechanisms with just one target: keeping us alive.(有时我们的情绪似乎是不合理的反应，但我们的大脑已经仔细地进化了这些机制，只有一个目标：让我们活着)”可知，文章围绕情绪的进化根源展开：第一段指出情绪是为了确保生存，第二段说明情绪帮助维持社会联系，第三段分析悲伤和快乐的功能，最后总结情绪让人成为人类。因此，文章的核心是揭示情绪背后的“目的”或“功能”。A项“The Purpose Behind Our Feelings(我们感情背后的目的)”准确概括了这一主旨。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Beat the heat — How to stay cool when temperatures soar Maybe you’re one of those people who peel off a sweater when everyone else is complaining that it’s chilly. ____36____ The point is, there’s no single temperature that can be pinpointed (明确指出) as comfortable for everyone. “What temperature people start to become uncomfortable at is really individual and variable,” says S. Tony Wolf, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Georgia. ____37____ It also relies on things like humidity and air flow. Plus, combinations of factors unique to individuals — age, gender, body mass, medical conditions and medications — affect how we experience temperature. And fortunately, there are many things we can do to stay comfortable in spite of the heat. ____38____ “Sweating is how we regulate heat,” says Robert Kenefick, PhD, professor at the University of Massachusetts. “Drinking plain, cool water or fluids with electrolytes (like sports drinks) helps.” Choose clothing that’s right — light fabrics, light colors — and loose. Loose clothing allows for better airflow and helps keep you cool. ____39____ Keep windows covered with shades, blinds or curtains. Think of how a car with closed windows heats up when left sitting in sunlight — it’s called the greenhouse effect. The same thing can happen at home if uncovered windows trap sunlight and heat inside. Keep a spray bottle handy. Spraying yourself with cool or cold water and then sitting or standing near a fan can help your body evaporate (蒸发) sweat and dissipate (消散) heat through your skin. ____40____ “The more of your body surface areas that you cool, the better off you're going to be,” says Wolf. A. Drink plenty of water. B. If you are really hot, take a cold bath or shower. C. Use fans to keep the air constantly flowing indoors. D. Go out earlier in the day when it’s cooler or later at night. E. But workout clothing made from new fabrics is also a good choice. F. In fact, our perception of heat and cold doesn’t just depend on the temperature. G. Or maybe you’re the person who’s putting on a sweater when others say it’s too hot. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在高温天气下保持凉爽的多种实用方法，包括补充水分、选择合适衣物、遮挡窗户、使用喷雾降温等，并引用专家观点解释这些方法背后的科学原理。 【36题详解】 上文“Maybe you’re one of those people who peel off a sweater when everyone else is complaining that it’s chilly.(也许你是那种，当别人都在抱怨天冷的时候，你反而脱掉毛衣的人)”描述了一种对冷热感受不同的人。空后“The point is, there’s no single temperature that can be pinpointed (明确指出) as comfortable for everyone.(重点是，没有一个单一的温度，能被定义为对所有人都舒适的)”点明没有统一的舒适温度。空处与前文为顺承关系，列举另一种对冷热感受不同的人。选项G“Or maybe you’re the person who’s putting on a sweater when others say it’s too hot.(或者，你是那种，当别人说天太热的时候，你反而穿上毛衣的人)”与前文的“Maybe you’re...”形成并列列举，符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 上文““What temperature people start to become uncomfortable at is really individual and variable,” says S. Tony Wolf, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Georgia.(佐治亚大学的助理教授 S・托尼・沃尔夫博士说：“人们开始感到不适的温度，其实是因人而异的。”)”说明人们对温度的感受是有差异的。空后“It also relies on things like humidity and air flow.(它还取决于湿度和气流这类因素)”说明影响温度感受的其他因素。空处承接前文，说明对冷热的感知不只是取决于温度。选项F“In fact, our perception of heat and cold doesn’t just depend on the temperature.(事实上，我们对冷热的感知，不只是取决于温度)”中的“our perception of heat and cold”对应后文的“It”，与后文的“also”形成呼应，符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 空后““Sweating is how we regulate heat,” says Robert Kenefick, PhD, professor at the University of Massachusetts. “Drinking plain, cool water or fluids with electrolytes (like sports drinks) helps.”(马萨诸塞大学的教授罗伯特・凯尼菲克博士说：“出汗是我们调节体温的方式，喝普通的凉水或者带电解质的液体（比如运动饮料）会有帮助。”)”解释了喝水降温的原理。空处是本段的总起句，点明喝水的建议。选项A“Drink plenty of water.(多喝水)”总领了后文的内容，符合语境。故选A。 【39题详解】 上文“Loose clothing allows for better airflow and helps keep you cool.(宽松的衣服能让空气更好地流通，帮你保持凉爽)”介绍了穿宽松衣服的降温方法。空处承接前文，补充说明其他合适的衣服。选项E“But workout clothing made from new fabrics is also a good choice.(但是用新型面料做的运动服也是个不错的选择)”承接前文的穿衣建议，补充了另一种合适的衣物，符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 上文“Spraying yourself with cool or cold water and then sitting or standing near a fan can help your body evaporate (蒸发) sweat and dissipate (消散) heat through your skin.(往自己身上喷凉水，然后坐在或者站在风扇旁边，能帮你的身体蒸发汗水，通过皮肤散发热量)”介绍了喷水降温的方法。空后““The more of your body surface areas that you cool, the better off you're going to be,” says Wolf.(沃尔夫说：“你冷却的身体表面积越大，你就会越舒服。”)”说明冷却身体表面积的重要性。空处承接前文，补充另一种冷却身体的降温方法。选项B“If you are really hot, take a cold bath or shower.(如果你真的很热，洗个冷水澡或者冲个凉)”承接前文的降温方法，同时呼应后文的冷却身体表面积的内容，符合语境。故选B。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis — except two hands and a leg.

Whether 64. were released 65. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了电影《飞驰人生3》在伦敦举行首映式的消息，介绍了该片的主创阵容、剧情梗概，并引用了多位英国观众的观后感，最后补充了该系列前两部的票房成绩及第三部的市场表现。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：《飞驰人生3》作为该系列的第三部续集，由韩寒执导，并由中国最具票房号召力的喜剧演员之一沈腾主演。该片延续了赛车手张驰的故事，他成为了弱势国家队的主教练，并带领车队参加国际Muchen 100拉力赛，为伦敦的观众带来了娱乐、泪水与激情。directed与空处并列的非谓语动词作定语，修饰the third sequel of the series，star和前面的名词the third sequel of the series之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词starring作后置定语。故填starring。 【57题详解】 考查时态。句意同上。and连接并列的谓语动词，后文leads提示句子时态为一般现在时，主语he为第三人称单数，所以become用第三人称单数形式。故填becomes。 【58题详解】 考查名词复数。句意同上。空处与entertainment、excitement为并列的名词，tear表示“泪水”时为可数名词，此处用复数形式tears表示泛指。故填tears。 【59题详解】 考查副词。句意：“在最后一小时左右的比赛环节，说实话，我完全没法把视线从屏幕上移开，” 观众卡勒姆・威廉姆斯说。空处修饰整个句子，作句子的状语，所以用形容词honest 的副词形式 honestly，表示“老实说”。故填honestly。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：“我从小到大看了很多赛车电影，但我觉得这部和你平时在电影里看到的赛车故事不一样。” 前文说自己看过很多赛车电影，后文说这部电影与众不同，前后为转折关系，所以用转折连词but。故填but。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：观众萨尔・埃森称这部电影制作得非常好。describe sth. as sth.是固定搭配，意为“把某物描述为……”，所以用介词 as。故填as。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它既有趣好玩，又不失严肃。空处和后面的形容词fun以及serious是并列关系，所以空处应该用形容词，entertain的形容词形式是entertaining，表示“有趣的”。故填entertaining。 【63题详解】 考查连词。句意：无论你是中国人、希腊人、英国人还是土耳其人，这都不重要。whether...or... 是固定连词搭配，意为“无论…… 还是……”，用来引导让步状语从句，句首首字母大写。故填Whether。 【64题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：该系列的前两部在2019年和2024年春节期间上映，总票房收入达到了50亿元人民币（7.3亿美元）。根据时间状语during the 2019 and 2024 Spring Festival seasons可知，事情发生在过去，所以应该用一般过去时，主语The first two installments of the series和动词release之间是被动关系，所以应该用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用were。故填were released。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意见上。combined 5 billion yuan可以看作一个整体，表示“总票房收入达到了50亿元人民币”，所以应该用不定冠词修饰，combined为辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华。为增强学生对中国传统文化的了解，你校将举办“传统文化体验日”（Traditional Culture Experience Day）活动。请你代表学生会给校英文网站写一则英文通知，内容包括： 1. 活动时间和地点；​ 2. 活动内容；​ 3. 活动意义。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为100个左右，可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Notice _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Notice To deepen students’ understanding of Chinese traditional culture, our school will hold a Traditional Culture Experience Day this Friday in the school hall.

Like so many other parents, she had holiday magic to make. For weeks, her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree, had been asking for one thing only for Christmas: a “real piano keyboard”, not just some small one made for little kids. Now that Aubree was asleep, Shumaker pulled the box from its hiding spot in their home in Bel Air, Maryland, ready to unveil the 61-key keyboard with full-size keys — perfect for beginners like Aubree. Shumaker figured she’d assemble the stand and bench, and set it all up so it would be ready to play when Aubree woke up and discovered her surprise. But when she opened the box, only the stand and bench were inside. No keyboard. Panic overtook her as she realized what she hadn’t noticed before: The keyboard was sold separately. The night before, mother and daughter had watched the movie The Santa Clause. At one point, two of the main characters talk about the gifts they desperately wanted when they were kids but never received, which made them doubt the existence of Santa. “That scene immediately played in my mind,” says Shumaker. She recalled how happy she was as a little girl, about Aubree’s age, when she got her first guitar as a gift. What would Aubree think when she came downstairs and found only a bench and stand — no keyboard? There must be some way to fix this, she thought. Maybe an online retailer could deliver a keyboard by morning. Maybe she could creep out to a store, if one was still open. She looked into both options, but no luck. Now desperate, Shumaker posted in a neighborhood Facebook group: “I’m about to cry,” she wrote, explaining the situation. Andy Spencer, who lives 5 miles from Shumaker, was crawling into bed just before 2 a.m. when he saw her plea. He thought of the keyboard his wife had gotten for her daughter, Hailey, two years earlier. They still had it, and honestly, Hailey had hardly ever played it. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Spencer got out of bed and headed down the hall to see whether Hailey was awake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The two messaged back and forth, agreeing to meet at a grocery store across the street from Shumaker’s home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Spencer got out of bed and headed down the hall to see whether Hailey was awake. Seeing the soft glow beneath her door, he gently knocked, his heart pounding with both concern and hope. Hailey was not only awake — she listened with growing excitement as he explained Shumaker’s desperate situation. Hardly had Spencer finished his story when Hailey agreed to give her almost new keyboard, whose 61 full-size keys would fit perfectly on Aubree’s stand. With her enthusiastic consent, Spencer quickly composed a message. Fingers trembling with anticipation, he wrote, “Where do you live? We have a smaller keyboard that we could part with.” Reading the message, Shumaker couldn’t believe how quickly her luck had turned. The two messaged back and forth, agreeing to meet at a grocery store across the street from Shumaker’s home. Within minutes, the Spencers arrived in the parking lot with the keyboard carefully wrapped and Hailey’s face glowing with anticipation. For Shumaker, relief and gratitude shone in her eyes when she saw the keyboard. Never had she expected that strangers would respond so swiftly and generously. With the instrument gently loaded into Shumaker’s car, a sense of warmth settled over everyone. All the Spencers wanted was a simple photo of a happy Aubree on Christmas morning. And when Christmas finally broke, Aubree’s delighted laughter filled the room as she discovered the surprise, her joy shining brighter than the Christmas tree itself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了圣诞夜，Marisa为4岁女儿准备圣诞礼物钢琴键盘，拆开后才发现键盘需单独购买，情急之下她在社区群求助，邻居Spencer看到消息后，想起自家女儿有个闲置的同款键盘。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Spencer下了床，走到走廊去看Hailey是否醒着”可知，第一段可描写Spencer叫醒女儿，说明Marisa的困境，女儿同意借出闲置的键盘，Spencer给Marisa发消息告知情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“两人来回发消息，约定在Shumaker家对面的杂货店见面”可知，第二段可描写两家见面交接键盘，Spencer一家只想要Aubree开心的照片，最后Aubree收到礼物收获了惊喜。 2. 续写线索：询问女儿——说明求助情况——女儿同意捐键盘——给Marisa发消息——约定见面——交接礼物——双方暖心互动——Aubree收获圣诞惊喜 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①轻轻地敲门：gently knocked /softly tapped ②同意：agree/consent/approve ③发消息：compose a message/send a message 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excitement /thrill/enthusiasm ②感激的：gratitude /thankfulness/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing the soft glow beneath her door, he gently knocked, his heart pounding with both concern and hope.(运用了现在分词Seeing作状语和独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】Never had she expected that strangers would respond so swiftly and generously.(运用了否定副词never位于句首引出的部分倒装句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Dennis, do you still live with your parents?

To meet different visitors' interests, the city has developed a range of themed winter programs, combining sightseeing, art and traditional culture. Ice Architecture Park This area features large ice buildings made from blocks cut from the Songhua River. At night, colorful lighting systems turn the ice castles and towers into shining landmarks. In addition to sightseeing, visitors can try ice slides and skating, making the park both visually impressive and entertaining. International Snow Sculpture Expo Held on Sun Island, this exhibition invites artists from different countries to create large snow sculptures based on annual themes. Information boards are placed beside the works, explaining the design ideas and creative process. The event has become an important platform for artistic exchange. Winter Folk Culture Tours These guided tours focus on Harbin's winter traditions and local history. Visitors can walk through historic streets, learn about old ice-related customs, and enjoy traditional folk performances in the evening. The tours aim to deepen visitors’ understanding of the city's cultural roots. Popular stops include Central Street, where people can admire European-style architecture and taste local snacks like Harbin red sausage and Russian bread. Family Ice Workshop Designed especially for families and school groups, this workshop offers short courses on making small ice lanterns. Under instructors’ guidance, participants complete their own works while learning basic skills of traditional ice craftsmanship. Each session lasts about an hour and provides all necessary tools, making it a fun and educational activity for children of all ages.

B Mike Pavlik sees a lot while recovering stolen bikes around Minneapolis. Once, pretending to be a potential buyer, he dressed up in a sport coat and met a seller. Pavlik took note of the bike’s make, model, and markings, confirming it was the one he was hunting. He asked to take it for a test ride. The seller wanted some collateral (抵押物). “Do I look like the kind of guy that steals bikes, dude?” Pavlik recalls asking the man. Then he just pedaled off. An hour later, the seller texted him, “I guess you’re not coming back?” Pavlik is part of an unusual army: amateur detectives who find stolen bikes and return them to their owners. As bike theft becomes more profitable, grassroots efforts to frustrate thieves are springing up nationwide. The volunteers say recovering bikes can be strangely fun and addictive. Pavlik, who is 51, works part-time at Trader Joe’s when he is not serving as a detective for Twin Cities Stolen Bikes, which has a Facebook page with 11,000 members. Pavlik has a certain skill set from working as a bartender and a National Guard police officer. “I can read people and talk to them really well,” he says. “I’m also not afraid to get in someone’s face. Most of these guys are cowards (胆小鬼).” Said a Minneapolis police spokesman: “While we commend all residents who step up to improve their communities, safety and lawfulness are the most important. We do not support aggressive strategies that put anyone in harm’s way.” One guy who Pavlik says allegedly (据说) runs a bike theft ring also stands out. The first time he confronted the man with a bike’s proof of ownership, the man pedaled off. Pavlik gave chase on his bike and shot him with pepper spray until he crashed. “I got him,” he says. “Then I just lifted the stolen bike onto my shoulder and sped off.” Another victory. 24. Why did Pavlik ask to take the bike for a test ride? A. To check the bike’s condition. B. To impress the seller. C. To take back the bike. D. To show he is a serious buyer. 25. What is the main reason for the rise of amateur bike detectives? A. Social media’s role in organization. B. The rise in bike theft cases. C. Volunteers’ enjoyment of bike recovery. D. The police’s failure to stop bike theft. 26. What does the police spokesman imply? A. Pavlik’s methods are against the law. B. Residents’ actions are worth encouraging. C. Improving community living safety is urgent. D. Dangerous situations should be left to the police. 27. Which of the following best describes Pavlik? A. Brave and skillful. B. Friendly and honest. C. Confident and sociable. D. Kind and patient. C In today’s globalized world, plastic pollution has emerged as a major environmental concern. Every year, over 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide, much of which is designed for single use. The convenience of disposable packaging — for food, drinks, and consumer goods — has led to an enormous increase in waste. Although plastics are lightweight and flexible, these very properties make them difficult to collect and recycle efficiently. The impact on the planet extends far beyond visual pollution. It is estimated that more than 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually, affecting over 700 marine species. Seabirds, turtles, and fish often mistake plastic for food, which may lead to injury or death. Moreover, plastic debris breaks down into micro-plastics — tiny particles that can be absorbed by marine life and eventually enter the human food chain. Recent studies have detected micro-plastics in tap water, air, and even human bodies, although the long-term health effects remain uncertain. In response, governments and organizations have launched many initiatives. Some nations have banned certain single-use plastics, such as straws or shopping bags. Others focus on boosting recycling rates or offering incentives (奖励) to companies that use biodegradable materials. However, these approaches face multiple hurdles. Recycling infrastructure is inadequate in many regions, and biodegradable plastics require specific conditions to decompose, which are not always available. Experts stress the need for a combination of policy, technology, and individual action. Dr. Anna Carter, a marine biologist, points out that education and public awareness play a powerful role. “When people understand the consequences of daily choices,” she says, “they are more likely to reduce unnecessary packaging, select reusable products, and participate in local clean-ups.” Innovative companies are also investing in new materials — like plant-based plastics — which promise to be more eco-friendly in the long run. Ultimately, solving plastic pollution requires collaboration between governments, industries, and citizens. While progress has been made, the challenge is ongoing. Dr. Carter insists, “Every effort, big or small, can spark change. It starts with everyone.” 28. Why is plastic pollution a major concern? A. Plastic is cheap to produce. B. Plastic products are convenient to use. C. Plastic waste is increasing rapidly. D. Plastic is single-use and hard to recycle. 29. How does the author show the impact of plastic pollution? A. By presenting experimental results. B. By presenting data and examples. C. By analyzing survey reports. D. By quoting findings from experts. 30. The underlined word “hurdles” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. difficulties B. requirements C. drawbacks D. changes 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To present expert views on solutions. B. To highlight new materials for sustainability. C. To raise awareness and call for action. D. To report studies on plastic harm. D At times our emotions can seem like unreasonable responses, but our brains have carefully evolved these mechanisms with just one target: keeping us alive. While we interpret different emotions as positive or negative, the most ancient parts of the human brain developed them on the principle that we must survive. We evolved emotions as a means of communicative function and as a way to help us navigate social interactions and our environment safely: they are designed to protect us. Our fear responses were originally a survival strategy that warned us of potential dangers, such as our inborn unease around spiders and snakes. Then there is the feeling of disgust, which warns us of foods or other substances that may be dangerous. Our other emotions are responses to social interactions that keep us part of a group. We are fundamentally a social species, and throughout our evolution have relied on our tribe to help us survive by working together to find food and shelter. Anger is a response to perceived social threats or a signal of dominance; pride can help us to boost our social status, while shame is intended to decrease our standing within a group. These emotions maintain the social balance of our tribe — who we follow, who we trust, who we care about. The fundamental emotions that motivate us individually are almost always sadness and happiness. Sadness results from loss, and serves the biological purpose of motivating a person to recover that loss, whether it is a young child searching for their mother in a supermarket or someone trying hard to get a new job after being dismissed. But the ultimate human emotion is happiness, and we are all in search of it. When you’re sitting around a campfire, safe in the countryside with some close friends and good food, you feel happiness because you have found the resources that your primitive brain is seeking. The next time you sit in an airport departure lounge, look for the emotions. Our bodies have created these experiences — the tears as we say goodbye, the smiles and laughter as we are reunited — for the purpose of keeping us alive. Our emotions and feelings are fundamentally what make us human, but this means we’re in for a bit of a roller coaster along the way. 32. What does the author say about emotions? A. They appear illogical at times. B. They developed to ensure our survival. C. They are viewed as either good or bad. D. They signal threats from certain substances. 33. According to the text, when does happiness occur? A. When people's emotional needs are met. B. When we recover from a painful loss. C. When people get along with their group. D. When our ancient brain gets what it wants. 34. Why does the author mention "roller coaster" in the last paragraph? A. To show that emotions are unpredictable. B. To stress emotions are hard to control. C. To explain the ups and downs of emotions. D. To describe the exciting nature of emotions. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Purpose Behind Our Feelings B. How Emotions Shape Our Lives C. The Social Nature of Emotions D. Emotions: Protection or More? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Beat the heat — How to stay cool when temperatures soar Maybe you’re one of those people who peel off a sweater when everyone else is complaining that it’s chilly. ____36____ The point is, there’s no single temperature that can be pinpointed (明确指出) as comfortable for everyone. “What temperature people start to become uncomfortable at is really individual and variable,” says S. Tony Wolf, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Georgia. ____37____ It also relies on things like humidity and air flow. Plus, combinations of factors unique to individuals — age, gender, body mass, medical conditions and medications — affect how we experience temperature. And fortunately, there are many things we can do to stay comfortable in spite of the heat. ____38____ “Sweating is how we regulate heat,” says Robert Kenefick, PhD, professor at the University of Massachusetts. “Drinking plain, cool water or fluids with electrolytes (like sports drinks) helps.” Choose clothing that’s right — light fabrics, light colors — and loose. Loose clothing allows for better airflow and helps keep you cool. ____39____ Keep windows covered with shades, blinds or curtains. Think of how a car with closed windows heats up when left sitting in sunlight — it’s called the greenhouse effect. The same thing can happen at home if uncovered windows trap sunlight and heat inside. Keep a spray bottle handy. Spraying yourself with cool or cold water and then sitting or standing near a fan can help your body evaporate (蒸发) sweat and dissipate (消散) heat through your skin. ____40____ “The more of your body surface areas that you cool, the better off you're going to be,” says Wolf. A. Drink plenty of water. B. If you are really hot, take a cold bath or shower. C. Use fans to keep the air constantly flowing indoors. D. Go out earlier in the day when it’s cooler or later at night. E. But workout clothing made from new fabrics is also a good choice. F. In fact, our perception of heat and cold doesn’t just depend on the temperature. G. Or maybe you’re the person who’s putting on a sweater when others say it’s too hot. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis — except two hands and a leg.

Roger now ____52____ the country, speaking to groups about what it takes to be a winner, no matter who you are. “The only ____53____ between you and me is that you can see my handicap, but I can’t see yours. We all have them. When people ask me how I’ve been able to overcome my physical handicaps, I tell them that I haven't overcome ____54____.

Like so many other parents, she had holiday magic to make. For weeks, her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree, had been asking for one thing only for Christmas: a “real piano keyboard”, not just some small one made for little kids. Now that Aubree was asleep, Shumaker pulled the box from its hiding spot in their home in Bel Air, Maryland, ready to unveil the 61-key keyboard with full-size keys — perfect for beginners like Aubree. Shumaker figured she’d assemble the stand and bench, and set it all up so it would be ready to play when Aubree woke up and discovered her surprise. But when she opened the box, only the stand and bench were inside. No keyboard. Panic overtook her as she realized what she hadn’t noticed before: The keyboard was sold separately. The night before, mother and daughter had watched the movie The Santa Clause. At one point, two of the main characters talk about the gifts they desperately wanted when they were kids but never received, which made them doubt the existence of Santa. “That scene immediately played in my mind,” says Shumaker. She recalled how happy she was as a little girl, about Aubree’s age, when she got her first guitar as a gift. What would Aubree think when she came downstairs and found only a bench and stand — no keyboard? There must be some way to fix this, she thought. Maybe an online retailer could deliver a keyboard by morning. Maybe she could creep out to a store, if one was still open. She looked into both options, but no luck. Now desperate, Shumaker posted in a neighborhood Facebook group: “I’m about to cry,” she wrote, explaining the situation. Andy Spencer, who lives 5 miles from Shumaker, was crawling into bed just before 2 a.m. when he saw her plea. He thought of the keyboard his wife had gotten for her daughter, Hailey, two years earlier. They still had it, and honestly, Hailey had hardly ever played it. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Spencer got out of bed and headed down the hall to see whether Hailey was awake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The two messaged back and forth, agreeing to meet at a grocery store across the street from Shumaker’s home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
