She went to a market for souvenirs. A faint scraping sound drew her towards a nearby stall, where an old man ____11____ (carve) a shadow puppet from cowhide, his knife barely moving. Sarah found ____12____ (she) standing there for nearly an hour. When the puppet was finished, the craftsman pressed it gently into her hands. Sarah smiled, paid, and walked back into the crowd. She had come for souvenirs but left ____13____ a story. 【答案】11. was carving 12. herself 13. with 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了莎拉在北京最后一天逛市场，被一位雕刻皮影的老人吸引的故事。 11. 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：一阵轻微的刮擦声吸引了她的注意，她走向了附近的一个摊位，只见一位老人正用牛皮雕刻皮影，他的刀子几乎不动。carve在从句中作谓语动词，表示Sarah被声音吸引时，老人正在进行雕刻皮影的动作，表示过去某个时间正在进行的动作，所以用过去进行时。主语an old man为单数，故填was carving。 12. 考查代词。句意：萨拉发现自己在那里站了将近一个小时。主语是Sarah，此空作宾语，和主语指同一人，所以用反身代词herself，find oneself doing sth.表示“发现自己不知不觉在做某事”。故填herself。 13. 考查介词。句意：她来是为了买纪念品，但离开时却带回了一个故事。名词story前用介词形式。表示“带着”，用介词with。故填with。 B “Digital amnesia” refers to the situation where we outsource memory to devices instead of using our own brains. According to recent research, ____14____ (realise) information is digitally available weakens people’s ability to recall it. In studies on digital habits, participants ____15____ (find) to depend heavily on smartphones long before their personal memory shows signs of decline. This habit initiates a cycle, continuously weakening our natural cognitive functions. The critical question now is whether this shift is altering our capability ____16____ (process) information. 【答案】14. realising 15. are found 16. to process 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“数字遗忘症”这一现象，即人们把记忆交给电子设备，这一行为会削弱自身的记忆能力，并对自然认知功能产生持续影响。 14. 考查非谓语动词。句意：根据最近的研究，意识到信息可以通过数字方式获取会削弱人们回忆信息的能力。此处作主语，应用动名词短语作主语，表示“意识到……”这一整件事。故填realising。 15. 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在对数字习惯的研究中，早在参与者的个人记忆出现衰退迹象之前，人们就发现他们严重依赖智能手机。分析句子成分可知，此处为谓语动词，动词find和主语participants之间是被动关系，表示“人们发现参与者严重依赖智能手机”，根据前后的动词weakens和shows,可知应用一般现在时，所以使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语participants为复数名词，所以be动词应为are。故填are found。 16. 考查非谓语动词。句意：现在关键的问题是，这种转变是否正在改变我们处理信息的能力。固定搭配the capability to do sth.表示“做某事的能力”，不定式作后置定语。故填to process。 C A skilled critical thinker with a closed mind will likely have many true ____17____ (belief), but will be blind to others. However, those ____18____ don’t screen incoming ideas will end up believing things not only false, but also ____19____ (danger). By thinking critically, you reject ideas; by being open-minded, you accept them. These two mindsets seem to be in conflict, but support each other nicely, which is ____20____ you should strive to transform yourself into an open-minded critical thinker if you wish to strengthen your mind. 【答案】17. beliefs 18. who 19. dangerous 20. why 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述封闭与开放思维的批判性思考者特点，强调应成为开明的批判思考者。 17. 考查名词的数。句意：一个思维敏锐但思想封闭的人可能会拥有许多正确的信念，但却对其他观点视而不见。belief为可数名词，many修饰可数名词复数形式。故填beliefs。 18. 考查定语从句。句意：然而，那些不筛选新想法的人最终会相信不仅错误而且危险的事情。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是those，指人，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。 19. 考查形容词。句意：然而，那些不筛选新想法的人最终会相信不仅错误而且危险的事情。此处作宾语补足语，说明things的性质，用形容词dangerous，表示“危险的”。故填dangerous。 20. 考查表语从句。句意：这两种思维方式看似相互冲突，但实际上却相互支持，这就是为什么如果你想要强化自己的思维，就应该努力将自己转变为一个开放的批判性思考者。空处引导表语从句，从句缺少原因状语，所以用连接副词why引导。故填why。 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，共38分） 第一节 （共14小题；每小题2分，共28分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A （新题材）Advance your leadership with Aurora LEAP, our flagship online certificate program.

I spent countless hours shooting hoops on my driveway, and then I got cut from the middle school basketball team, all three years. I spent a decade playing soccer, but I didn’t make the high school team. At that point, I shifted my focus to a new sport, diving. I was bad. I could hardly touch my toes without bending my knees, and I was afraid of heights. But I was determined. I stayed at the pool until it was dark, and my coach kicked me out of practice. I knew that the seeds of greatness are planted in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. By my senior year, I made the All-American list, and I qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. I was obsessed with diving. It was more than something I did, it became who I was. But when I got to college, the sport I loved became something I started to fear. At that level, I could not beat more talented divers by outworking them. There was one question, though, that stopped me from rethinking. “If I’m not a diver, who am I?” In psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure.” It’s when you settle prematurely (过早地) on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves. After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. Retiring from diving freed me up to spend the summer doing psychology research and working as a diving coach. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby, performing as a magician. Ever since then, I put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems to be wrong, I can do the same thing in the important parts of my life. A career checkup to consider how my goals are shifting. A relationship checkup to re-examine my habits. 24. What made the author still decide to hold on when facing various challenges in sports? A. His pressure from his coach. B. His definition of himself. C. His obsession with diving. D. His talent in sports. 25. After the freshman year of college, the author decided to ________. A. embrace more possible selves B. outwork more talented divers C. give up diving-related things D. shift his focus to a new sport 26. According to the author, the retirement from diving was ________. A. thrilling B. distracting C. regrettable D. worthwhile 27. What can you learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-reflection is the key to self-improvement. D. Our value doesn’t lie in what we do, but who we are. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述作者从沉迷跳水到重新思考自我身份，学会接纳多元自我、定期反思，从而实现自我成长的经历。 24. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““If I’m not a diver, who am I?” In psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure.” It’s when you settle prematurely (过早地) on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves. (“如果我不是跳水运动员，我是谁？”在心理学中，这种无法重新思考的状态有一个术语——叫作“身份封闭”。即你过早地确定自我认知，拒绝接受其他可能的自我。)”可知，作者在面对运动中的各种挑战时仍坚持下去，是因为他对自我身份的定义。故选B项。 25. 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. (与其固守一种身份，不如尝试多种可能的自我。)”可知，大学大一结束后，作者决定接纳更多可能的自我。故选A项。 26. 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Retiring from diving freed me up to spend the summer doing psychology research and working as a diving coach. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby, performing as a magician. (放弃跳水让我有时间在夏天做心理学研究、担任跳水教练，也让我有时间专注于我最傻气的爱好——当魔术师。)”可知，作者认为放弃跳水是值得的。故选D项。 27. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“Ever since then, I put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems to be wrong, I can do the same thing in the important parts of my life. (从那以后，我每年都会在日历上提醒自己重新思考。这是一次检查。就像我身体没毛病时也会去看医生做年度体检一样，我也会在生活中的重要方面做同样的事。)”可知，文章告诉我们自我反思是自我提升的关键。故选C项。 C （新热点）More than 50 years ago, Jane Goodall amazed the scientific community by reporting that chimpanzees were using tools to fish for insects. This observation was astonishing, as scientists believed tool-making was a uniquely human feature. Today, the evidence that many other species learn from each other and have cultural ways of behaving is vast. A recent special issue highlights evidence from whales to wallabies (沙袋鼠), showing learning from others is widespread across the animal kingdom. For many species, culturally transmitted (传承的) behaviour can be mission-critical: an important way to share survival skills or to adapt to changing environments. In conservation, these insights are starting to reshape practice, from reintroductions to managing conflicts between humans and wildlife over habitat use. Meanwhile, the idea of “longevity conservation” is gaining attention as researchers show that some of the longest-living animals have not only developed extraordinary genetic adaptations to cope with an extended lifetime, but some are also the keepers of ecological knowledge shared culturally between generations. The emerging view is that some of these older individuals can hold knowledge critical to adapting to unstable environments. Our evolving understanding also requires us to rethink what we mean by “world heritage”. If whales and birds can have cultural traditions too, should we treat the loss of their song or feeding techniques as seriously as we treat the loss of a human memorial? This will be a stretch for many, but not for all of us. Many Indigenous (土著的) communities have long understood that other species share knowledge. Bottle nose dolphins that help fishers in Brazil are an example of relationships that could only occur when humans are listening deeply to nature. Perhaps the most important challenge that looking beyond human cultures presents is to the idea of human exceptionalism. The more we learn about other species’ cultures, the harder it is to deny that we are surrounded by a planet full of “others”, who have values and emotions. It took more than 50 years from Goodall’s report for conservation bodies to debate the importance of non-human cultures. In the intervening decades, we have begun to chip away at the false belief of human exceptionalism. We already live among a diversity of other cultural life forms. Truly absorbing this knowledge might just encourage the far-reaching shift we need if we are to meet our responsibilities as guardians of this rich bio-cultural diversity. 28. What can we learn from this passage? A. Genetic adaptations rely on knowledge sharing. B. Using tools is a unique feature for chimpanzees. C. Long-lived animals transmit knowledge across generations. D. Changing environments hold back the cultural transmission. 29. How does the author feel about the possibility of the loss of animal cultures? A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeless. 30. What does the author mainly convey by mentioning Indigenous communities? A. The recognition of animal cultures is long-standing. B. The protection of animal cultures is challenging. C. Animals have extraordinary intelligence. D. Animals are great partners to humans. 31. What is implied in this passage? A. Conservation bodies question the value of animal cultures. B. Knowledge holds the power to restore biodiversity. C. Human false beliefs are easy to change. D. We need a real cultural awakening. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是动物文化的存在、重要性及其对人类认知和保护实践的影响。 28. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, the idea of “longevity conservation” is gaining attention as researchers show that some of the longest-living animals have not only developed extraordinary genetic adaptations to cope with an extended lifetime, but some are also the keepers of ecological knowledge shared culturally between generations.(与此同时，“长寿保护”的理念也逐渐受到关注，因为研究人员发现，一些寿命最长的动物不仅已经进化出非凡的基因适应能力以应对漫长的生命周期，而且其中一些还是代代相传的生态知识的守护者，这些知识是通过文化传承下来的。)”可知，长寿的动物会在世代之间传递知识。故选C。 29. 细节理解题。根据第三段“If whales and birds can have cultural traditions too, should we treat the loss of their song or feeding techniques as seriously as we treat the loss of a human memorial?(如果鲸鱼和鸟类也能拥有文化传统，那么我们是否应该像对待人类的纪念物那样严肃地对待它们歌声或觅食方式的丧失呢？)”可知，作者对于动物文化的可能消亡这一情况的态度是担忧的，故选B。 30. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Many Indigenous (土著的) communities have long understood that other species share knowledge. Bottle nose dolphins that help fishers in Brazil are an example of relationships that could only occur when humans are listening deeply to nature.(许多原住民社区早就明白，其他物种也拥有知识。在巴西，帮助渔民的瓶鼻海豚就是这种关系的一个例证，这种关系只有当人类深入倾听自然时才会出现。)”可知，作者提及原住民社区时主要想传达的信息是对动物文化的认可由来已久。故选A。 31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We already live among a diversity of other cultural life forms. Truly absorbing this knowledge might just encourage the far-reaching shift we need if we are to meet our responsibilities as guardians of this rich bio-cultural diversity.(我们已经生活在一个由各种不同文化生物形态组成的环境中。如果我们想要履行作为这一丰富生物文化多样性的守护者的责任，那么真正理解这一知识或许能够促使我们实现必要的重大转变。)”可知，我们需要一场真正的文化觉醒，以认识到并尊重其他物种的文化，故选D。 D （新题材）For years, businesses have used different psychological strategies in their advertising to sell products and services. Understanding the psychological factors that motivate people to buy something can help a business sell more of their goods. Businesses use advertising to send a message saying that their product will do more than provide something practical or useful. The message is that the product can help you be a better person or lead a better life as well. One common strategy used in advertising is to appeal to people’s need to imitate or copy someone they admire. This type of advertisement shows a celebrity using a product with the hope that viewers want to look like the celebrity, have the celebrity’s lifestyle, or have the celebrity’s influence, and that purchasing the product will help the buyer achieve these things. For example, a popular actor has been paid to advertise, amongst other things, a car in Germany, clothes in Italy, and coffee in a number of countries. He does not need to be an expert driver, be a fashion designer, or know anything about coffee to make these advertisements successful. Where they are permitted, advertisements for vacation products often rely on appealing to an association with fun and pleasure. The advertisers focus the consumers’ attention on the fun that the characters are seen to be experiencing in their advertisement. These advertisements are aimed at potential vacationers and try to influence the consumer to identify their particular products with the people having fun. This is called “peripheral route advertising” whereas “central route advertising” places the emphasis on the product by stating facts about the product and highlighting the use of the product in the advertisement. The main thing about relying on imitation or aspiration as an advertising strategy is that the consumer must see some advantage in imitating the person in the advertisement. No one will copy behavior just for the sake of it. They do it for enjoyment, self-esteem, or some other benefit. For imitation to work, it must be connected to some stronger appeal. One interesting aspect of imitation is that its effects attenuate with the age of the target audience. Advertisements that rely on imitation are most effective when aimed at teens and preteens and are less effective with young adults. In the face of various advertisements, we consumers should not blindly imitate the person we admire, but choose the right products which fit our genuine needs instead of the wants they create. This critical choice is the basis of wise consumption. 32. Which advertisement is an example of “peripheral route advertising”? A. An assistant is comparing smartphone prices with a chart. B. An expert is explaining the effectiveness of a medicine. C. A family is having a wonderful time at the beach. D. A celebrity is introducing the functions of a car. 33. What does the word “attenuate” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Last. B. Improve. C. Emerge. D. Decrease. 34. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Peripheral route ads are more influential than central route ads. B. Consumers should be critical of emotional wants shaped by ads. C. Advertisers use psychological factors to improve consumers’ lives. D. The psychological strategies used in ads are harmful to consumers. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍商家广告中运用的心理策略、两种广告路径及模仿效应的年龄差异，倡导理性消费。 32. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“These advertisements are aimed at potential vacationers and try to influence the consumer to identify their particular products with the people having fun. This is called “peripheral route advertising” whereas “central route advertising” places the emphasis on the product by stating facts about the product and highlighting the use of the product in the advertisement. (这些广告针对潜在度假者，试图引导消费者将其特定产品与享受欢乐的人群联系起来。这种方式被称为“边缘路径广告”；与之相对，中心路径广告则通过在广告中陈述产品相关事实、突出产品用途，将重点放在产品本身。)”可知，边缘路径广告是把产品与快乐、愉悦等情感氛围关联起来，不侧重产品事实与功能；一家人在海滩度过美好时光的度假广告属于边缘路径广告。故选C项。 33. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“One interesting aspect of imitation is that its effects attenuate with the age of the target audience. Advertisements that rely on imitation are most effective when aimed at teens and preteens and are less effective with young adults.(模仿效应的一个有趣特点是，其效果会随着目标受众年龄的增长而衰减。依赖模仿的广告针对青少年和青春期前儿童效果最佳，对年轻成年人效果较差。)”可知，后文明确说明针对儿童、青少年效果最好，对年轻成年人效果更差，由此可判断随着年龄增长，模仿效应的效果在下降、减弱，因此attenuate意为“减弱、降低”。故选D项。 34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In the face of various advertisements, we consumers should not blindly imitate the person we admire, but choose the right products which fit our genuine needs instead of the wants they create. This critical choice is the basis of wise consumption.(面对各类广告，消费者不应盲目模仿钦佩之人，而应选择符合自身真实需求而非广告制造的欲望的产品。这种批判性选择是理性消费的基础。)”可知，作者认为消费者应对广告塑造的情感欲望保持批判态度。故选B项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （新热点）Human history could be told as the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses (镜片) into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped to be passive. ____35____ As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the infinitesimal cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the universe. ____36____ To see was to know; To measure was to exist. Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are. ____37____ The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____38____ The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face. And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____39____ The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look. A. Seeing is no longer believing. B. We no longer merely looked — we searched. C. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy. D. The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars. E. The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity. F. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous. G. The telescope’s lens and the smartphone’s camera are now part of the same global system of seeing. 【答案】35. B 36. C 37. E 38. G 39.

Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes...(而现在，机器已经开始替我们观察。卫星观测天气；神经网络观察世界。它们识别出人眼看不见的模式……)”描述了机器观察的自动化、持续性和全面性，F选项“Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous.(观察，曾经是一种好奇心驱使的行为，如今已变得持续、全面且自主)”承接上文，总结说明现代观察方式的新特征——持续、全面、自主，与上文描述的卫星和神经网络观察方式相呼应，上下文逻辑一致。故选F项。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 （新题材） When I was in high school, I dreamed of joining the school’s debate team. I admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and I hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. However, I was a shy girl who dared not even answer questions in class, let alone argue with others in a formal debate. I summoned up my courage to try out for the debate team. Unfortunately, I froze on stage, forgot my prepared speech, and ran off in embarrassment. My classmates tried to comfort me, but I felt so defeated that I decided to give up my dream. I thought persistence (坚持) was meaningless when I lacked the natural talent. My teacher noticed my low spirits and shared her own story with me. She told me she had failed three times before passing her teacher qualification exam, but she never stopped practicing her teaching skills. Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure. I started to practice every day. I read debate articles to learn logical expressions, recorded myself speaking to correct my tone, and asked my teacher and classmates for feedback. At first, I still made mistakes and felt frustrated, but I refused to quit this time. The next year, I attended the audition again. This time, I stayed calm, expressed my views clearly, and responded to the judges’ questions smoothly. I was finally admitted to the debate team. Later, we even won the second prize in the city’s high school debate competition. Looking back, I realized that persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. Only by combining persistence with practical efforts can we turn our dreams into reality. 40. Why did the author want to join the debate team? ________________________________________________________ 41. What effect did the teacher’s words have on the author? ________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. ________________________________________________________ 43. Please share one of your own experiences about the application of persistence in your daily life. (In about 40 words) ________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and she hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public./Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently./Because the author hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. 41. Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure./Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence. 42. True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. According to the passage, persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. 43. One possible answer: When I was learning to ride a bike, I kept falling off at first. But I didn't give up. I persisted in practicing every day, and finally I could ride it smoothly. Persistence really paid off. 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从想加入辩论队，到失败后想放弃，再到受老师鼓舞后重新努力，最终成功加入辩论队并获奖的经历，强调了坚持的意义。 40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and I hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public.(我钦佩辩论者如何逻辑清晰、自信地表达自己的观点，我希望成为一个能在公共场合勇敢发言的人。)”可知，作者想加入辩论队是因为钦佩辩论者如何逻辑清晰、自信地表达自己的观点，并且希望成为一个能在公共场合勇敢发言的人。故答案是：Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and she hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public./Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently./Because the author hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. 41. 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure.(她的话启发我重新思考坚持的意义——不是从不失败，而是在失败后重新站起来。)”可知，老师的话对作者的影响是启发作者重新思考坚持的意义，即不是从不失败，而是在失败后重新站起来。故答案是：Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure./Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence. 42. 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help.(面对失败需要勇气，寻求改进需要热忱，接纳帮助需要智慧。)”可知，坚持需要勇气面对失败，改进的意愿，以及接受帮助的智慧。由此可知，陈述中的“refusing others’ help”是错误的，应该改为“accepting others’ help”，即“接受他人的帮助”。故答案是：True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. According to the passage, persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. 43. 考查开放性试题。此小题为开放题，无固定答案，只要符合题意即可。以下是一个可能的答案：当我学骑自行车的时候，一开始我总是摔倒。但我没有放弃。我坚持每天练习，最后我能骑得很顺畅了。坚持真的得到了回报。故答案是：One possible answer: When I was learning to ride a bike, I kept falling off at first. But I didn’t give up. I persisted in practicing every day, and finally I could ride it smoothly. Persistence really paid off. 第二节（20分） 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国好友Jim即将参加主题为“Skills Needed for a Sustainable Future”的联合国青年论坛(UN Youth Forum)，为此发来邮件，就发言内容询问你的想法。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1．你认为重要的技能； 2．说明理由。 注意：1．词数100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m glad to hear you’re attending the UN Youth Forum.

I spent countless hours shooting hoops on my driveway, and then I got cut from the middle school basketball team, all three years. I spent a decade playing soccer, but I didn’t make the high school team. At that point, I shifted my focus to a new sport, diving. I was bad. I could hardly touch my toes without bending my knees, and I was afraid of heights. But I was determined. I stayed at the pool until it was dark, and my coach kicked me out of practice. I knew that the seeds of greatness are planted in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. By my senior year, I made the All-American list, and I qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. I was obsessed with diving. It was more than something I did, it became who I was. But when I got to college, the sport I loved became something I started to fear. At that level, I could not beat more talented divers by outworking them. There was one question, though, that stopped me from rethinking. “If I’m not a diver, who am I?” In psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure.” It’s when you settle prematurely (过早地) on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves. After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. Retiring from diving freed me up to spend the summer doing psychology research and working as a diving coach. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby, performing as a magician. Ever since then, I put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems to be wrong, I can do the same thing in the important parts of my life. A career checkup to consider how my goals are shifting. A relationship checkup to re-examine my habits. 24. What made the author still decide to hold on when facing various challenges in sports? A. His pressure from his coach. B. His definition of himself. C. His obsession with diving. D. His talent in sports. 25. After the freshman year of college, the author decided to ________. A. embrace more possible selves B. outwork more talented divers C. give up diving-related things D. shift his focus to a new sport 26. According to the author, the retirement from diving was ________. A. thrilling B. distracting C. regrettable D. worthwhile 27. What can you learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-reflection is the key to self-improvement. D. Our value doesn’t lie in what we do, but who we are. C （新热点）More than 50 years ago, Jane Goodall amazed the scientific community by reporting that chimpanzees were using tools to fish for insects. This observation was astonishing, as scientists believed tool-making was a uniquely human feature. Today, the evidence that many other species learn from each other and have cultural ways of behaving is vast. A recent special issue highlights evidence from whales to wallabies (沙袋鼠), showing learning from others is widespread across the animal kingdom. For many species, culturally transmitted (传承的) behaviour can be mission-critical: an important way to share survival skills or to adapt to changing environments. In conservation, these insights are starting to reshape practice, from reintroductions to managing conflicts between humans and wildlife over habitat use. Meanwhile, the idea of “longevity conservation” is gaining attention as researchers show that some of the longest-living animals have not only developed extraordinary genetic adaptations to cope with an extended lifetime, but some are also the keepers of ecological knowledge shared culturally between generations. The emerging view is that some of these older individuals can hold knowledge critical to adapting to unstable environments. Our evolving understanding also requires us to rethink what we mean by “world heritage”. If whales and birds can have cultural traditions too, should we treat the loss of their song or feeding techniques as seriously as we treat the loss of a human memorial? This will be a stretch for many, but not for all of us. Many Indigenous (土著的) communities have long understood that other species share knowledge. Bottle nose dolphins that help fishers in Brazil are an example of relationships that could only occur when humans are listening deeply to nature. Perhaps the most important challenge that looking beyond human cultures presents is to the idea of human exceptionalism. The more we learn about other species’ cultures, the harder it is to deny that we are surrounded by a planet full of “others”, who have values and emotions. It took more than 50 years from Goodall’s report for conservation bodies to debate the importance of non-human cultures. In the intervening decades, we have begun to chip away at the false belief of human exceptionalism. We already live among a diversity of other cultural life forms. Truly absorbing this knowledge might just encourage the far-reaching shift we need if we are to meet our responsibilities as guardians of this rich bio-cultural diversity. 28. What can we learn from this passage? A. Genetic adaptations rely on knowledge sharing. B. Using tools is a unique feature for chimpanzees. C. Long-lived animals transmit knowledge across generations. D. Changing environments hold back the cultural transmission. 29. How does the author feel about the possibility of the loss of animal cultures? A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeless. 30. What does the author mainly convey by mentioning Indigenous communities? A. The recognition of animal cultures is long-standing. B. The protection of animal cultures is challenging. C. Animals have extraordinary intelligence. D. Animals are great partners to humans. 31. What is implied in this passage? A. Conservation bodies question the value of animal cultures. B. Knowledge holds the power to restore biodiversity. C. Human false beliefs are easy to change. D. We need a real cultural awakening. D （新题材）For years, businesses have used different psychological strategies in their advertising to sell products and services. Understanding the psychological factors that motivate people to buy something can help a business sell more of their goods. Businesses use advertising to send a message saying that their product will do more than provide something practical or useful. The message is that the product can help you be a better person or lead a better life as well. One common strategy used in advertising is to appeal to people’s need to imitate or copy someone they admire. This type of advertisement shows a celebrity using a product with the hope that viewers want to look like the celebrity, have the celebrity’s lifestyle, or have the celebrity’s influence, and that purchasing the product will help the buyer achieve these things. For example, a popular actor has been paid to advertise, amongst other things, a car in Germany, clothes in Italy, and coffee in a number of countries. He does not need to be an expert driver, be a fashion designer, or know anything about coffee to make these advertisements successful. Where they are permitted, advertisements for vacation products often rely on appealing to an association with fun and pleasure. The advertisers focus the consumers’ attention on the fun that the characters are seen to be experiencing in their advertisement. These advertisements are aimed at potential vacationers and try to influence the consumer to identify their particular products with the people having fun. This is called “peripheral route advertising” whereas “central route advertising” places the emphasis on the product by stating facts about the product and highlighting the use of the product in the advertisement. The main thing about relying on imitation or aspiration as an advertising strategy is that the consumer must see some advantage in imitating the person in the advertisement. No one will copy behavior just for the sake of it. They do it for enjoyment, self-esteem, or some other benefit. For imitation to work, it must be connected to some stronger appeal. One interesting aspect of imitation is that its effects attenuate with the age of the target audience. Advertisements that rely on imitation are most effective when aimed at teens and preteens and are less effective with young adults. In the face of various advertisements, we consumers should not blindly imitate the person we admire, but choose the right products which fit our genuine needs instead of the wants they create. This critical choice is the basis of wise consumption. 32. Which advertisement is an example of “peripheral route advertising”? A. An assistant is comparing smartphone prices with a chart. B. An expert is explaining the effectiveness of a medicine. C. A family is having a wonderful time at the beach. D. A celebrity is introducing the functions of a car. 33. What does the word “attenuate” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Last. B. Improve. C. Emerge. D. Decrease. 34. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Peripheral route ads are more influential than central route ads. B. Consumers should be critical of emotional wants shaped by ads. C. Advertisers use psychological factors to improve consumers’ lives. D. The psychological strategies used in ads are harmful to consumers. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （新热点）Human history could be told as the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses (镜片) into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped to be passive. ____35____ As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the infinitesimal cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the universe. ____36____ To see was to know; To measure was to exist. Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are. ____37____ The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____38____ The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face. And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____39____ The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look. A. Seeing is no longer believing. B. We no longer merely looked — we searched. C. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy. D.

I admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and I hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. However, I was a shy girl who dared not even answer questions in class, let alone argue with others in a formal debate. I summoned up my courage to try out for the debate team. Unfortunately, I froze on stage, forgot my prepared speech, and ran off in embarrassment. My classmates tried to comfort me, but I felt so defeated that I decided to give up my dream. I thought persistence (坚持) was meaningless when I lacked the natural talent. My teacher noticed my low spirits and shared her own story with me. She told me she had failed three times before passing her teacher qualification exam, but she never stopped practicing her teaching skills. Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure. I started to practice every day. I read debate articles to learn logical expressions, recorded myself speaking to correct my tone, and asked my teacher and classmates for feedback. At first, I still made mistakes and felt frustrated, but I refused to quit this time. The next year, I attended the audition again. This time, I stayed calm, expressed my views clearly, and responded to the judges’ questions smoothly. I was finally admitted to the debate team. Later, we even won the second prize in the city’s high school debate competition. Looking back, I realized that persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. Only by combining persistence with practical efforts can we turn our dreams into reality. 40.

I spent countless hours shooting hoops on my driveway, and then I got cut from the middle school basketball team, all three years. I spent a decade playing soccer, but I didn’t make the high school team. At that point, I shifted my focus to a new sport, diving. I was bad. I could hardly touch my toes without bending my knees, and I was afraid of heights. But I was determined. I stayed at the pool until it was dark, and my coach kicked me out of practice. I knew that the seeds of greatness are planted in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. By my senior year, I made the All-American list, and I qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. I was obsessed with diving. It was more than something I did, it became who I was. But when I got to college, the sport I loved became something I started to fear. At that level, I could not beat more talented divers by outworking them. There was one question, though, that stopped me from rethinking. “If I’m not a diver, who am I?” In psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure.” It’s when you settle prematurely (过早地) on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves. After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. Retiring from diving freed me up to spend the summer doing psychology research and working as a diving coach. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby, performing as a magician. Ever since then, I put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems to be wrong, I can do the same thing in the important parts of my life. A career checkup to consider how my goals are shifting. A relationship checkup to re-examine my habits. 24. What made the author still decide to hold on when facing various challenges in sports? A. His pressure from his coach. B. His definition of himself. C. His obsession with diving. D. His talent in sports. 25. After the freshman year of college, the author decided to ________. A. embrace more possible selves B. outwork more talented divers C. give up diving-related things D. shift his focus to a new sport 26. According to the author, the retirement from diving was ________. A. thrilling B. distracting C. regrettable D. worthwhile 27. What can you learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-reflection is the key to self-improvement. D. Our value doesn’t lie in what we do, but who we are. C （新热点）More than 50 years ago, Jane Goodall amazed the scientific community by reporting that chimpanzees were using tools to fish for insects. This observation was astonishing, as scientists believed tool-making was a uniquely human feature. Today, the evidence that many other species learn from each other and have cultural ways of behaving is vast. A recent special issue highlights evidence from whales to wallabies (沙袋鼠), showing learning from others is widespread across the animal kingdom. For many species, culturally transmitted (传承的) behaviour can be mission-critical: an important way to share survival skills or to adapt to changing environments. In conservation, these insights are starting to reshape practice, from reintroductions to managing conflicts between humans and wildlife over habitat use. Meanwhile, the idea of “longevity conservation” is gaining attention as researchers show that some of the longest-living animals have not only developed extraordinary genetic adaptations to cope with an extended lifetime, but some are also the keepers of ecological knowledge shared culturally between generations. The emerging view is that some of these older individuals can hold knowledge critical to adapting to unstable environments. Our evolving understanding also requires us to rethink what we mean by “world heritage”. If whales and birds can have cultural traditions too, should we treat the loss of their song or feeding techniques as seriously as we treat the loss of a human memorial? This will be a stretch for many, but not for all of us. Many Indigenous (土著的) communities have long understood that other species share knowledge. Bottle nose dolphins that help fishers in Brazil are an example of relationships that could only occur when humans are listening deeply to nature. Perhaps the most important challenge that looking beyond human cultures presents is to the idea of human exceptionalism. The more we learn about other species’ cultures, the harder it is to deny that we are surrounded by a planet full of “others”, who have values and emotions. It took more than 50 years from Goodall’s report for conservation bodies to debate the importance of non-human cultures. In the intervening decades, we have begun to chip away at the false belief of human exceptionalism. We already live among a diversity of other cultural life forms. Truly absorbing this knowledge might just encourage the far-reaching shift we need if we are to meet our responsibilities as guardians of this rich bio-cultural diversity. 28. What can we learn from this passage? A. Genetic adaptations rely on knowledge sharing. B. Using tools is a unique feature for chimpanzees. C. Long-lived animals transmit knowledge across generations. D. Changing environments hold back the cultural transmission. 29. How does the author feel about the possibility of the loss of animal cultures? A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeless. 30. What does the author mainly convey by mentioning Indigenous communities? A. The recognition of animal cultures is long-standing. B. The protection of animal cultures is challenging. C. Animals have extraordinary intelligence. D. Animals are great partners to humans. 31. What is implied in this passage? A. Conservation bodies question the value of animal cultures. B. Knowledge holds the power to restore biodiversity. C. Human false beliefs are easy to change. D. We need a real cultural awakening. D （新题材）For years, businesses have used different psychological strategies in their advertising to sell products and services. Understanding the psychological factors that motivate people to buy something can help a business sell more of their goods. Businesses use advertising to send a message saying that their product will do more than provide something practical or useful. The message is that the product can help you be a better person or lead a better life as well. One common strategy used in advertising is to appeal to people’s need to imitate or copy someone they admire. This type of advertisement shows a celebrity using a product with the hope that viewers want to look like the celebrity, have the celebrity’s lifestyle, or have the celebrity’s influence, and that purchasing the product will help the buyer achieve these things. For example, a popular actor has been paid to advertise, amongst other things, a car in Germany, clothes in Italy, and coffee in a number of countries. He does not need to be an expert driver, be a fashion designer, or know anything about coffee to make these advertisements successful. Where they are permitted, advertisements for vacation products often rely on appealing to an association with fun and pleasure. The advertisers focus the consumers’ attention on the fun that the characters are seen to be experiencing in their advertisement. These advertisements are aimed at potential vacationers and try to influence the consumer to identify their particular products with the people having fun. This is called “peripheral route advertising” whereas “central route advertising” places the emphasis on the product by stating facts about the product and highlighting the use of the product in the advertisement. The main thing about relying on imitation or aspiration as an advertising strategy is that the consumer must see some advantage in imitating the person in the advertisement. No one will copy behavior just for the sake of it. They do it for enjoyment, self-esteem, or some other benefit. For imitation to work, it must be connected to some stronger appeal. One interesting aspect of imitation is that its effects attenuate with the age of the target audience. Advertisements that rely on imitation are most effective when aimed at teens and preteens and are less effective with young adults. In the face of various advertisements, we consumers should not blindly imitate the person we admire, but choose the right products which fit our genuine needs instead of the wants they create. This critical choice is the basis of wise consumption. 32. Which advertisement is an example of “peripheral route advertising”? A. An assistant is comparing smartphone prices with a chart. B. An expert is explaining the effectiveness of a medicine. C. A family is having a wonderful time at the beach. D. A celebrity is introducing the functions of a car. 33. What does the word “attenuate” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Last. B. Improve. C. Emerge. D. Decrease. 34. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Peripheral route ads are more influential than central route ads. B. Consumers should be critical of emotional wants shaped by ads. C. Advertisers use psychological factors to improve consumers’ lives. D. The psychological strategies used in ads are harmful to consumers. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （新热点）Human history could be told as the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses (镜片) into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped to be passive. ____35____ As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the infinitesimal cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the universe. ____36____ To see was to know; To measure was to exist. Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are. ____37____ The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____38____ The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face. And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____39____ The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look. A. Seeing is no longer believing. B. We no longer merely looked — we searched. C. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy. D. The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars. E. The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity. F. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous. G. The telescope’s lens and the smartphone’s camera are now part of the same global system of seeing. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 （新题材） When I was in high school, I dreamed of joining the school’s debate team.
