I was organizing my notebooks when there was a sudden __1__. “This Friday afternoon, we’ll hold a class talent show — anyone can sign up to perform!” My best friend tapped my shoulder and asked eagerly, “Will you join, Lily?” “Of course,” I said. I had no __2__ in performing, but I wanted to join her and give it a shot. By Friday afternoon, there was a lively __3__ around the classroom stage. Everyone was chatting and practicing their acts. I hadn’t thought I’d actually be there, standing beside the stage. But as I waited for my turn, I __4__ felt my hands shaking. What if I messed up in front of the whole class? When my name was called, I walked onto the stage. The teacher asked me to sing a song I liked and show a little dance move. They then __5__ my voice and rhythm, nodding with a smile. I felt like I had a __6__, so I said I wanted to perform a full song. They encouraged me to go for it, but I started to panic — what if I forgot the lyrics? After all the performances ended, the teacher announced the most popular act. My friend ran over to me, cheering, “Lily, you won first place!” I stared at the teacher in surprise, and tears started to __7__ in my eyes. I was so excited that I could hardly speak. That day, performing in front of my classmates was scary but amazing. When they started __8__ loudly, I felt a surge of confidence I’d never had before. That feeling stayed with me long after the show, and it made me feel __9__. I realized that trying something I’d never done before could be wonderful — even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone and facing my fears, and this experience also helped me build greater __10__. 1．A．noise B．announcement C．argument D．conversation 2．A．experience B．interest C．confidence D．difficulty 3．A．crowd B．game C．performance D．meeting 4．A．slowly B．suddenly C．hardly D．regularly 5．A．improved B．tested C．recorded D． praised 6．A．rule B．dream C．task D． chance 7．A．dry up B．well up C．turn up D．wake up 8．A．whispering B．laughing C．clapping D．shouting 9．A．braver B．calmer C．happier D．smarter 10．A. trouble B. pressure C. confidence D. patience 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．D 6．D 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．C 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文，模仿原文“偶然参与→紧张忐忑→尝试展示→获得认可→收获成长”的叙事脉络，讲述了作者原本没有表演经验，在朋友的带动下参加班级才艺展示，从紧张不安到勇敢表现，最终获得第一名、收获自信与成长的故事，传递出“勇于走出舒适区、尝试新事物”的主题。 1．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我正在整理笔记本，突然传来一则通知。结合后文老师宣布班级才艺展示的内容，可知此处是“通知”，announcement意为“通知、公告”，与原文广播通知的语境一致。noise噪音；argument争论；conversation对话，均不符合。故选B项。 2．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我没有任何表演经验，但我想和她一起试试。根据后文作者紧张手抖、担心出错，可知作者之前从未有过表演相关经历，experience意为“经验”，符合语境。interest兴趣；confidence自信；difficulty困难，均不贴合。故选A项。 3．考查名词词义辨析。句意：到了周五下午，教室舞台周围聚起了热闹的人群。才艺展示现场，同学们聚集在舞台旁，crowd意为“人群”，贴合场景。game游戏；performance表演；meeting会议，均不符合。故选A项。 4．考查副词词义辨析。句意：但当我等待上场时，突然感到双手在发抖。作者原本只是陪朋友参与，此刻临近上场，突然产生紧张情绪，suddenly意为“突然地”，符合原文“突发紧张”的心理。slowly慢慢地；hardly几乎不；regularly定期地，均排除。故选B项。 5．考查动词词义辨析。句意：随后他们称赞了我的声音和节奏，微笑着点了点头。根据后文“nodding with a smile”，可知老师对作者的表现表示认可，praised意为“称赞、表扬”，符合语境。improved改善；tested测试；recorded记录，均不恰当。故选D项。 6．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我觉得自己确实有机会，于是说想唱一首完整的歌。得到老师的称赞后，作者觉得自己有成功的可能，chance意为“机会”，与原文中作者获得认可后鼓起勇气的心理一致。rule规则；dream梦想；task任务，均排除。故选D项。 7．考查动词短语辨析。句意：我惊讶地盯着老师，眼泪开始涌上眼眶。作者意外获得第一名，激动得落泪，well up意为“（眼泪）涌出、涌上眼眶”，与原文中作者激动落泪的表达一致。dry up干涸；turn up出现；wake up醒来，均不符合。故选B项。 8．考查动词词义辨析。句意：当他们开始大声鼓掌时，我感受到了前所未有的自信。同学们对优秀表演的反应是鼓掌，clapping意为“鼓掌”，贴合场景，与原文中观众的反应逻辑一致。whispering低语；laughing大笑；shouting大喊，均不恰当。故选C项。 9．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这种感觉在表演结束后持续了很久，让我变得更勇敢。作者克服紧张、完成表演，收获了勇气，braver意为“更勇敢的”，贴合“走出舒适区、获得成长”的主题，与原文结尾的成长感悟一致。calmer更冷静的；happier更开心的；smarter更聪明的，均排除。故选A项。 10. 考查名词词义辨析。前文提到 “a surge of confidence I’d never had before”（前所未有的自信涌上心头），且核心感悟围绕 “走出舒适区、尝试新事物带来成长”，此处填confidence（自信），既呼应前文细节，又升华主题，符合作者通过表演克服紧张、收获自信的心理变化。trouble麻烦；pressure压力；patience耐心，均排除。故选C。 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 A One day when a group of bees ____11____ (land) on a primary school, not surprisingly, there was panic among the teachers. Though, most of the children watched excitedly as a bee catcher rounded up the uninvited visitors. This unexpected event led to the school integrating beekeeping into the course, ____12____ has resulted in notable benefits. The children study the dance of the bees to decide ____13____ honey source is. They use honey in cooking lessons. They have even opened a school shop that ____14____ (feature) honey. Most of all, the children have become more responsible to others. 【答案】11. landed 12. which 13. where 14. features 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群蜜蜂降落在一所小学后，引发的一系列事件，以及这些事件给学校和孩子们带来的积极影响。 11. 考查动词的时态。句意：一天，当一群蜜蜂降落在一所小学时，不出所料，老师们惊慌失措。land(降落)是句中谓语动词，与主语a group of bees之间是主动关系，根据句意和上下文时态可知，句子描述过去发生的事情，应使用一般过去时态。故填landed。 12. 考查定语从句。句意：这一意外事件促使学校将养蜂纳入课程，这带来了显著的好处。空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个句子，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 13. 考查名词性从句。句意：孩子们通过观察蜜蜂的舞蹈来判断蜜源在哪里。“ honey source is”是宾语从句，从句缺少表语，结合句意，表示“在哪里”，应用连接副词where引导该从句。故填where。 14. 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：他们甚至开了一家以蜂蜜为特色的学校商店。feature(以……为特色)是定语从句中谓语动词，主语that(指代先行词a school shop)与feature之间是主动关系，根据句意，描述客观事实，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语是单数代词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。故填features。 B （新题材）Spacesuits are important if you leave Earth’s protective atmosphere. Spacesuits should allow excellent ____15____ (free) of movement for the wearers, who may often go on spacewalks outside their ship to perform delicate equipment repairs all by ____16____ (they). It also helps that the spacesuit is quick to put on in case of an emergency. And it should provide a full life-support system to maintain internal air and temperature as well as attend to the needs of food, water and other bodily functions. Over the years, various spacesuits ____17____ (design) to meet these criteria. 【答案】15. freedom 16. themselves 17. have been designed 【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了宇航服在太空活动中的重要作用，以及它需要具备的活动自由度、生命支持系统等关键要求，还有多年来为此设计出的各类宇航服。 15. 考查名词。句意：宇航服应当让穿戴者拥有极佳的活动自由度，他们经常需要在飞船外进行太空行走，独自完成精密的设备维修。形容词excellent后需要接名词，free的名词形式是freedom，表示抽象概念是不可数名词。作宾语。故填freedom。 16. 考查反身代词。句意同上。固定短语all by oneself表示“独自，单独”，此处指代wearers，应用第三人称复数反身代词。故填themselves。 17. 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：多年来，人们已经设计出了各种各样的宇航服来满足这些标准。时间状语Over the years常与现在完成时连用，且spacesuits与design之间是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语spacesuits是复数。故填have been designed。 C ____18____ (lead) a satisfying life, it’s not necessary for me to pursue grand experiences; instead, the small, everyday joys hold the most value. Whether it’s enjoying a cup of tea or sharing a laugh with friends, these moments contribute to my sense of well-being. Through ____19____ (appreciate) these small pleasures I feel more connected to the world and enhance my sense of happiness. These simple pleasures can be found in our daily routines, from the sights and sounds of nature to the warmth of human connection. If we integrate these small joys into our life, we will develop greater enthusiasm ____20____ the present. 【答案】18. To lead 19. appreciating 20. for 【解析】这是一篇议论文。作者表达了自己对生活态度的思考，认为生活中简单的小快乐更有价值。 18. 考查非谓语动词。句意：要过上令人满意的生活，我不必追求那些宏大的经历；相反，那些日常的小乐趣才最有价值。该空所给动词lead在句中作目的状语，应使用动词不定式形式，并注意句首字母大写。故填To lead。 19. 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过感恩这些小小的快乐，我感觉与这个世界的关系更加紧密，也增强了我的幸福感。所给动词appreciate在句中作介词through的宾语，应使用动名词形式。故填appreciating。 20. 考查介词。句意：如果我们将这些小乐趣融入到生活中，我们就会对当下产生更大的热情。名词enthusiasm搭配介词for……表示“对……的热情”作后置定语。故填for。 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 （新语境） Volunteer with Us You Can Make Our Great Places Better.

(通过Volunteer.gov申请机会，如果需要，可提供中文和西班牙文的线下志愿服务申请表（OF301）；然后主管将确认你的职位，并与你讨论职责、期限和时间安排。)”可知，职责和时间安排是与主管讨论确定的。故选B项。 23. 推理判断题。根据文章标题“Volunteer with Us (和我们一起做志愿者)”以及最后一段“Devote your spare time and make a big difference to national parks through VIP! (利用你的业余时间，通过VIP为国家公园做出巨大改变！)”可推知，文章的目的是倡导人们参与国家公园的志愿服务。故选C项。 B For as long as I can remember, I have been doing gymnastics. I started gymnastics at a very young age. I was only three years old when my mother first put me in a mommy-and-me class. My mom never expected me to love it as much as I did, or even continue it for twelve years and become competitive in it. We went to competitions all over the state of Florida. Occasionally we would compete out of state. My favorite event in gymnastics was the balance beam. I loved the challenge of flipping on a four-inch piece of wood. I was always referred to as “beam queen” because I had a natural talent for it. Doing skills on the balance beam always came easy to me, and my love for this event showed when I scored well in competitions. Although I am no longer able to do gymnastics because of a defect that was found in my spine, I still love it as much as I would if I were still doing it. It was really tough trying to accept the fact that my life of gymnastics, after eleven years, was over. But after all the sad moments, I picked up a new hobby — volleyball. It helped me pass the time. Yet words cannot explain how much I love gymnastics or how I would give anything for my back to be healed and to go back to the gym. The good news is that I haven’t lost all of my skills. Whenever I visit the gym, I still like to flip around and see what I can do. I don’t know why I loved the sport so much. I just did. I mean it could have been for many reasons. Some challenges came with the sport though. For instance, I had a tough schedule to keep. I trained for four hours a day, five days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and when you threw school and homework in there, it got pretty complicated. I was constantly tired from going to bed late because of the gym and having to wake up early for school. I barely even got to rest on the weekends because that’s when all the competitions were. As I look back on it now, I really miss the late nights and the busy schedule. From this sport, I have learned so many things that will help me later in life. I will never forget the memories that were made. Gymnastics will always be a part of me. 24. What can we learn about the author’s childhood? A. She developed an enthusiasm for gymnastics. B. She competed frequently outside Florida. C. She learned gymnastics from her mom. D. She dreamed of participating in international competitions. 25. Knowing she could no longer do gymnastics the author ______. A. stayed away from gyms and lost interest in sports B. started a new hobby but still missed doing gymnastics C. felt relieved to be free from the tiring training schedule D. forgot gymnastics quickly and devoted herself to volleyball 26.What was one of the challenges the writer faced when doing gymnastics? A. She had no natural talent for gymnastics at first. B. She could not get along well with her teammates. C. She was laughed at by others during training. D. Her busy training schedule made her life tiring. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Everything comes to those who wait. B. When one door closes, another opens. C. True passion leaves a lasting mark on one’s life. D. Success in sports demands hard work and determination. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者自幼练习体操，热爱体操，因脊柱问题无奈放弃后仍心怀热爱，体操也深刻影响了她的人生。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My mom never expected me to love it as much as I did, or even continue it for twelve years and become competitive in it.(我妈妈从未想过我会如此热爱体操，更没想过我会坚持十二年并走上竞技之路。)”可知，作者在童年时期就对体操产生了极大的热情。故选A项。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But after all the sad moments, I picked up a new hobby — volleyball. It helped me pass the time. Yet words cannot explain how much I love gymnastics or how I would give anything for my back to be healed and to go back to the gym.(但在所有难过的时光过后，我培养了一个新爱好——排球。它帮我打发时间。然而，语言无法形容我有多热爱体操，我愿意付出一切换我的背部痊愈，回到体操馆。)”可知，作者开始了新的爱好，但仍然想念体操。故选B项。 26. 细节理解题。根据第四段中 “Some challenges came with the sport though. For instance, I had a tough schedule to keep. I was constantly tired from going to bed late because of the gym and having to wake up early for school.” 可知，作者面临的挑战之一是繁忙的训练日程让她疲惫不堪。故选D 项。 27. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“I will never forget the memories that were made. Gymnastics will always be a part of me.(我永远不会忘记那些回忆。体操将永远是我生命的一部分。)”可知，作者对体操的真正热爱在她的生命中留下了永恒的印记。故选C项。 C （新热点）For half a century, psychologist Keith Holyoak has studied analogy — the capacity to see relational similarities between superficially dissimilar things — as a cornerstone of human intelligence. His new book, The Human Edge, takes a fresh look at analogy as a defining feature of human thought. At its core, analogy enables us to apply prior knowledge to novel situations. Unlike simple perceptual similarity, analogy maps relational patterns across different domains. The proverb about two dogs fighting over a bone while a third runs away, for instance, illuminates a business scenario where competing corporations weaken each other, allowing a rival to take advantage. This capacity for relational mapping underpins fluid intelligence — the ability to reason about new problems — and strongly predicts performance on intelligence tests. Analogy also drives creativity. Holyoak’s classic research on the “radiation problem” illustrates this: participants struggled to destroy a tumor (肿瘤) with rays without harming healthy tissue. But those first exposed to a story about a general attacking a castle from multiple sides readily devised the convergent (会聚的) ray solution. While we often fail to retrieve useful analogies independently, exposure to structurally similar but superficially different situations can spark breakthrough thinking. This cognitive capacity develops early and naturally. Children begin reasoning analogically around age three and the capacity continues to develop until adulthood. Holyoak identifies this as a “Late System” — a uniquely human, evolutionarily recent ability for general relational reasoning. It builds upon and cooperates with older, specialized “Early Systems” we share with other animals. While nonhuman species perform tasks that resemble analogical reasoning, these successes remain domain-specific. Humans alone can map relations across any content, from fairy tales to physics. This special ability, however, grants neither wisdom nor morality. Abstract thought has yielded both medical cures and weapons of mass destruction. As Holyoak notes, if Earth becomes uninhabitable, it won’t be the chimpanzees’ fault. The rise of AI presents a new frontier. Large language models (LLMs) now solve analogy problems at a college-student level, and their computational power could eventually produce superhuman intelligence. Yet they lack autonomy and, crucially, the ability to spontaneously notice a meaningful analogy. In art, this limitation may prove difficult to overcome. AI, lacking emotion, consciousness, and individuality, produces work many find soulless. Human uniqueness stems from the evolution of cooperative systems: a “Late System” that enables complex relational reasoning and the “Early Systems” that reflect our vast biological heritage. Their integration is the very essence of the human edge. 28. What does the word “underpins” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Supports. B. Evaluates. C. Replaces. D. Frames. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The “Late System” is developed in adulthood. B. The “two dogs” proverb encourages competitions. C. The convergent ray solution arose from an analogy. D. LLMs can’t form analogies due to lack of autonomy. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Developing Analogy: The Core of Human Creativity B. Decoding Analogy: A Capacity Setting Humans Apart C. Defining Analogy: The Force Driving Human Evolution D. Defending Analogy: A Mechanism of Human Perception 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。心理学家霍利奥克研究类比——即识别看似不同事物之间内在关联性的能力——并将此视为人类智慧的关键要素。 28. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“At its core, analogy enables us to apply prior knowledge to novel situations. Unlike simple perceptual similarity, analogy maps relational patterns across different domains. The proverb about two dogs fighting over a bone while a third runs away, for instance, illuminates a business scenario where competing corporations weaken each other, allowing a rival to take advantage. (从本质上讲，类比使我们能够将已有的知识应用到新的情境中。与简单的感知相似性不同，类比能在不同领域之间映射出关系模式。例如，关于两只狗为一块骨头而争斗，而第三只狗却跑开的这句谚语，就揭示了一个商业场景：相互竞争的公司会削弱彼此，从而使对手有机可乘。)”及下文“...fluid intelligence — the ability to reason about new problems — and strongly predicts performance on intelligence tests. ( 流体智力——即对新问题进行推理的能力，并且能很好地预测智力测试的成绩。)”可知，作者认为通过类比我们可以提升智力，灵活运用已有知识。由此推测，划线词指这种进行关系映射的类比能力促进提升流体智力，与Supports意思相近。故选A项。 29. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Analogy also drives creativity. Holyoak’s classic research on the “radiation problem” illustrates this: participants struggled to destroy a tumor (肿瘤) with rays without harming healthy tissue. But those first exposed to a story about a general attacking a castle from multiple sides readily devised the convergent (会聚的) ray solution. (类比也能激发创造力。霍利奥克关于“辐射问题”的经典研究就很好地说明了这一点：参与者努力想用射线来摧毁肿瘤，同时又不伤害健康组织。但那些最先接触到关于一位将军从多个方向攻打城堡的故事的人，很快就想出了集中射线的解决方案。)”可知，参与者先读了将军多路进攻城堡的故事，才设计出会聚射线治疗肿瘤的方案，这个方案本身就是跨领域类比得到的结果。C选项结论符合文章内容。故选C项。 30. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For half a century, psychologist Keith Holyoak has studied analogy — the capacity to see relational similarities between superficially dissimilar things — as a cornerstone of human intelligence. His new book, The Human Edge, takes a fresh look at analogy as a defining feature of human thought. (半个世纪以来，心理学家基思·霍利奥克一直致力于研究类比——即识别看似不同事物之间内在关联性的能力——并将此视为人类智慧的关键要素。他的新书《人类的优势》从全新的角度探讨了类比作为人类思维特征的重要性。)”第二段“At its core, analogy enables us to apply prior knowledge to novel situations. (从本质上讲，类比使我们能够将已有的知识应用到新的情境中)”第三段“Analogy also drives creativity. (类比也能激发创造力。)”及最后一段“Human uniqueness stems from the evolution of cooperative systems: a “Late System” that enables complex relational reasoning and the “Early Systems” that reflect our vast biological heritage. Their integration is the very essence of the human edge. (人类的独特性源于合作系统的进化：一种“晚期系统”能够进行复杂的关联推理，还有“早期系统”则反映了我们丰富的生物遗传特征。它们的融合正是人类优势的所在。)”可知，全文都在讲类比是人类独有的，别的动物只有领域特定的，AI也没有自发类比的能力，最后说这就是人类的优势，这个整合是人类独特性来源。由此可知，B项Decoding Analogy: A Capacity Setting Humans Apart (解码类比：区分人类与动物的能力)概括了文章主旨，适合作标题。故选B项。 D （新题材）For a long period, many parents have assumed that additional mathematics exercises and an increased number of after-school classes represent the most reliable route to improving a child’s prospects. More recently, however, a research team at the University of Melbourne has directed attention to a different type of educational experience: sustained participation in school-based arts programmes. Their ten-year longitudinal study indicates that regular engagement in the arts is associated with enhanced emotional well-being, greater social confidence and higher levels of engagement with academic work. The researchers tracked nearly 8,500 students from Grade 3 through Grade 12. At two-year intervals, the students reported the frequency with which they joined school bands, took part in theatrical performances, contributed to designing stage sets or posters, or attended art clubs after school. At the same time, teachers systematically documented observable changes in classroom behaviour, including whether students completed homework on time, participated in group discussions or displayed disruptive conduct during lessons. When the team compared students from broadly similar family backgrounds, a consistent pattern emerged. Those who participated in arts activities at least once a week were, on average, less anxious and more optimistic about their future than peers who rarely took part. Students in the arts-participation group were also more likely to remain in school through to graduation and to report that “school is a place where I belong.” The researchers then sought to explore potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. Interviews with students pointed to several contributory factors. Rehearsing (排练) for a concert or a play, for instance, required them to manage their time carefully, attend to the views of others and tolerate feedback in the presence of their peers. Some quieter students reported discovering that they could communicate strong emotions through a role on stage or through the use of colour and form on a canvas (画布). The study stops short of presenting arts education as a simple guarantee of success. Even so, the authors contend that when schools reduce provision in music or art in order to create additional time for test preparation, they may unintentionally remove one of the few environments in which certain students feel recognised and valued. On this basis, the researchers recommend that schools maintain a basic level of arts provision, particularly in communities experiencing economic pressure. 31. What can be inferred about school arts activities? A. It leads to higher marks in school subjects. B. It gives students a stronger sense of belonging. C. It takes the place of academic support after class. D. It is designed for students from well-off families. 32. What can we learn from this passage? A. Arts education has limited value in exam-driven systems. B. Test practice changes when schools increase arts activities. C. Parents are the force behind the reduction of arts programmes. D. Cutting arts provision has side effects that are easy to overlook. 33. What does the author mainly do in Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Present a research project and its implications. B. Compare different types of after-school classes. C. Highlight a viewpoint with various after-school activities. D. Challenge a common belief through interviews with students. 34. What is the passage mainly about? A. How school arts education aids students’ development. B. How exam pressure changes parents’ assumptions for education. C. How students gradually lose their motivation for communication. D. How researchers record and assess students’ after-school behaviours. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. A 34. A 【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现，持续参与学校艺术活动可提升学生情绪健康、社交自信与学业参与度，还能增强归属感；学校不应为备考削减艺术课程，而应保留基础艺术教育。 31. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Students in the arts-participation group were also more likely to remain in school through to graduation and to report that “school is a place where I belong.”(参与艺术活动的学生也更有可能顺利完成学业，并表示“学校是我归属的地方”。)”可推知，艺术活动能让学生产生更强的校园归属感。故选B项。 32. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even so, the authors contend that when schools reduce provision in music or art in order to create additional time for test preparation, they may unintentionally remove one of the few environments in which certain students feel recognised and valued.( 即便如此，作者们仍认为，当学校为了腾出更多时间用于备考而削减音乐或艺术课程的开设时，他们可能会无意中剥夺了某些学生仅存的、能让他们感到被认可和重视的环境之一。)”可推知，削减艺术课程会带来一些容易被忽视的副作用。故选D项。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When the team compared students from broadly similar family backgrounds, a consistent pattern emerged. Those who participated in arts activities at least once a week were, on average, less anxious and more optimistic about their future than peers who rarely took part.( 当研究团队将来自大致相似家庭背景的学生进行对比时，一个一致的模式逐渐显现出来。那些每周至少参加一次艺术活动的学生，平均而言，比很少参与此类活动的同龄人焦虑程度更低，对未来也更加乐观。)”以及第四段中“The researchers then sought to explore potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. Interviews with students pointed to several contributory factors.( 随后，研究人员试图探究这些结果背后可能存在的机制。对学生的访谈指出了几个促成因素。)”可知，第三段展示了研究得出的客观结果与规律，第四段进一步探究产生这些结果的内在原因，整体呈现了研究内容及其带来的启示。故选A项。 34. 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“More recently, however, a research team at the University of Melbourne has directed attention to a different type of educational experience: sustained participation in school-based arts programmes. Their ten-year longitudinal study indicates that regular engagement in the arts is associated with enhanced emotional well-being, greater social confidence and higher levels of engagement with academic work.( 然而，最近墨尔本大学的一个研究团队将注意力转向了另一种教育体验：持续参与学校开展的艺术项目。他们的一项为期十年的纵向研究表明，经常参与艺术活动与增强的情绪健康、更大的社交自信以及更积极地投入学业工作密切相关。)”可知，全文围绕墨尔本大学的研究展开，核心论述学校艺术教育对学生情绪健康、社交自信、学业参与、校园归属感等多方面发展的积极作用。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是学校艺术教育如何促进学生的发展。故选A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）Organic agriculture is often thought of as green and good for nature.

We often think that to be productive, we need to master time-management techniques. But have you ever noticed that when you’re emotionally worn out, you struggle to stay organized or motivated? Or when you’re overwhelmed, tasks like answering emails or doing laundry pile up? Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities, often drive people to over-commit. Even with a well-organized calendar, you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks, only to feel overwhelmed and rushed, which can lead to anxiety or even depression. The problem is not your time-management skills, but emotional overload. True productivity isn’t about doing more in less time; it’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20-30% higher productivity than those who rely only on time management. The good news is that emotional management isn’t about grand gestures — it grows in small, intentional shifts. Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments. When someone asks you to take on an additional task, don’t immediately agree. Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations. Besides, separate your work outcomes from your self-worth. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle, it takes patience and sensibility within yourself. Change is hard, but every step, no matter how small, is a step toward reclaiming your well-being. 40．What often make people over-commit? 41．What is true productivity about? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will concentrate on managing emotions rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. 43．Besides what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to better manage your emotions? (In about 40 words) 【答案】40．Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities. 41．It’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. 42．By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will concentrate on managing emotions rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. You will concentrate on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. 43．To better manage emotions, one can practice mindfulness meditation to stay present, engage in physical exercise to release stress, and seek support from friends or professionals when needed. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在当今快节奏、以成就为导向的社会中，人们常常将生产力与时间管理联系在一起，但实际上，情绪管理对于生产力同样重要。 40．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities, often drive people to over-commit.(未解决的情绪，比如担心让别人失望或错过机会，往往会驱使人们过度承诺)”可知，未解决的情绪，比如害怕让别人失望或错过机会，往往会驱使人们过度承诺。故答案为Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities. 41．考查细节理解。根据第三段“True productivity isn’t about doing more in less time; it’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term.(真正的生产力不是用更少的时间做更多的事；这是关于长期管理你的精力、情绪和幸福。)”可知，真正的生产力是关于长期管理你的精力、情绪和幸福，故答案为It’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. 42．考查细节理解。根据第四段“By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes.(通过从完美主义的心态转变为成长导向的心态，你将专注于学习，而不仅仅是取得完美的结果。)”可知，通过从完美主义心态转变为以成长为导向的心态，你将专注于学习，给出句子中managing emotions表示“管理情绪”，表述错误。正确的说法是“通过从完美主义的心态转变为成长导向的心态，你将专注于学习，而不仅仅是取得完美的结果”。故答案为By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will concentrate on managing emotions rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. You will concentrate on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. 43．开放题目，答案不唯一，合理即可。在我看来，为了更好地管理情绪，人们可以练习正念冥想来保持当下，进行体育锻炼来释放压力，并在需要时寻求朋友或专业人士的支持。故答案为To better manage emotions, one can practice mindfulness meditation to stay present, engage in physical exercise to release stress, and seek support from friends or professionals when needed. 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想策划一场中国传统文化体验活动，他发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 提出的建议； 2. 建议的理由。 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】One possible version: Dear Jim,​ How is everything going?

I started gymnastics at a very young age. I was only three years old when my mother first put me in a mommy-and-me class. My mom never expected me to love it as much as I did, or even continue it for twelve years and become competitive in it. We went to competitions all over the state of Florida. Occasionally we would compete out of state. My favorite event in gymnastics was the balance beam. I loved the challenge of flipping on a four-inch piece of wood. I was always referred to as “beam queen” because I had a natural talent for it. Doing skills on the balance beam always came easy to me, and my love for this event showed when I scored well in competitions. Although I am no longer able to do gymnastics because of a defect that was found in my spine, I still love it as much as I would if I were still doing it. It was really tough trying to accept the fact that my life of gymnastics, after eleven years, was over. But after all the sad moments, I picked up a new hobby — volleyball. It helped me pass the time. Yet words cannot explain how much I love gymnastics or how I would give anything for my back to be healed and to go back to the gym. The good news is that I haven’t lost all of my skills. Whenever I visit the gym, I still like to flip around and see what I can do. I don’t know why I loved the sport so much. I just did. I mean it could have been for many reasons. Some challenges came with the sport though. For instance, I had a tough schedule to keep. I trained for four hours a day, five days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and when you threw school and homework in there, it got pretty complicated. I was constantly tired from going to bed late because of the gym and having to wake up early for school. I barely even got to rest on the weekends because that’s when all the competitions were. As I look back on it now, I really miss the late nights and the busy schedule. From this sport, I have learned so many things that will help me later in life. I will never forget the memories that were made. Gymnastics will always be a part of me. 24. What can we learn about the author’s childhood? A. She developed an enthusiasm for gymnastics. B. She competed frequently outside Florida. C. She learned gymnastics from her mom. D. She dreamed of participating in international competitions. 25. Knowing she could no longer do gymnastics the author ______. A. stayed away from gyms and lost interest in sports B. started a new hobby but still missed doing gymnastics C. felt relieved to be free from the tiring training schedule D. forgot gymnastics quickly and devoted herself to volleyball 26.What was one of the challenges the writer faced when doing gymnastics? A. She had no natural talent for gymnastics at first. B. She could not get along well with her teammates. C. She was laughed at by others during training. D. Her busy training schedule made her life tiring. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Everything comes to those who wait. B. When one door closes, another opens. C. True passion leaves a lasting mark on one’s life. D. Success in sports demands hard work and determination. C （新热点）For half a century, psychologist Keith Holyoak has studied analogy — the capacity to see relational similarities between superficially dissimilar things — as a cornerstone of human intelligence. His new book, The Human Edge, takes a fresh look at analogy as a defining feature of human thought. At its core, analogy enables us to apply prior knowledge to novel situations. Unlike simple perceptual similarity, analogy maps relational patterns across different domains. The proverb about two dogs fighting over a bone while a third runs away, for instance, illuminates a business scenario where competing corporations weaken each other, allowing a rival to take advantage. This capacity for relational mapping underpins fluid intelligence — the ability to reason about new problems — and strongly predicts performance on intelligence tests. Analogy also drives creativity. Holyoak’s classic research on the “radiation problem” illustrates this: participants struggled to destroy a tumor (肿瘤) with rays without harming healthy tissue. But those first exposed to a story about a general attacking a castle from multiple sides readily devised the convergent (会聚的) ray solution. While we often fail to retrieve useful analogies independently, exposure to structurally similar but superficially different situations can spark breakthrough thinking. This cognitive capacity develops early and naturally. Children begin reasoning analogically around age three and the capacity continues to develop until adulthood. Holyoak identifies this as a “Late System” — a uniquely human, evolutionarily recent ability for general relational reasoning. It builds upon and cooperates with older, specialized “Early Systems” we share with other animals. While nonhuman species perform tasks that resemble analogical reasoning, these successes remain domain-specific. Humans alone can map relations across any content, from fairy tales to physics.

As Holyoak notes, if Earth becomes uninhabitable, it won’t be the chimpanzees’ fault. The rise of AI presents a new frontier.

Human uniqueness stems from the evolution of cooperative systems: a “Late System” that enables complex relational reasoning and the “Early Systems” that reflect our vast biological heritage.

Defending Analogy: A Mechanism of Human Perception D （新题材）For a long period, many parents have assumed that additional mathematics exercises and an increased number of after-school classes represent the most reliable route to improving a child’s prospects. More recently, however, a research team at the University of Melbourne has directed attention to a different type of educational experience: sustained participation in school-based arts programmes. Their ten-year longitudinal study indicates that regular engagement in the arts is associated with enhanced emotional well-being, greater social confidence and higher levels of engagement with academic work. The researchers tracked nearly 8,500 students from Grade 3 through Grade 12. At two-year intervals, the students reported the frequency with which they joined school bands, took part in theatrical performances, contributed to designing stage sets or posters, or attended art clubs after school. At the same time, teachers systematically documented observable changes in classroom behaviour, including whether students completed homework on time, participated in group discussions or displayed disruptive conduct during lessons. When the team compared students from broadly similar family backgrounds, a consistent pattern emerged. Those who participated in arts activities at least once a week were, on average, less anxious and more optimistic about their future than peers who rarely took part. Students in the arts-participation group were also more likely to remain in school through to graduation and to report that “school is a place where I belong.” The researchers then sought to explore potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. Interviews with students pointed to several contributory factors. Rehearsing (排练) for a concert or a play, for instance, required them to manage their time carefully, attend to the views of others and tolerate feedback in the presence of their peers. Some quieter students reported discovering that they could communicate strong emotions through a role on stage or through the use of colour and form on a canvas (画布). The study stops short of presenting arts education as a simple guarantee of success. Even so, the authors contend that when schools reduce provision in music or art in order to create additional time for test preparation, they may unintentionally remove one of the few environments in which certain students feel recognised and valued. On this basis, the researchers recommend that schools maintain a basic level of arts provision, particularly in communities experiencing economic pressure. 31. What can be inferred about school arts activities? A. It leads to higher marks in school subjects. B. It gives students a stronger sense of belonging. C. It takes the place of academic support after class. D. It is designed for students from well-off families. 32. What can we learn from this passage? A. Arts education has limited value in exam-driven systems. B. Test practice changes when schools increase arts activities. C. Parents are the force behind the reduction of arts programmes. D. Cutting arts provision has side effects that are easy to overlook. 33. What does the author mainly do in Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Present a research project and its implications. B. Compare different types of after-school classes. C. Highlight a viewpoint with various after-school activities. D. Challenge a common belief through interviews with students. 34. What is the passage mainly about? A. How school arts education aids students’ development. B. How exam pressure changes parents’ assumptions for education. C. How students gradually lose their motivation for communication. D. How researchers record and assess students’ after-school behaviours. 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）Organic agriculture is often thought of as green and good for nature. Conventional agriculture, in contrast, is cast as big and bad. ____35____ A widespread shift to organic would leave billions hungry, researchers predict. ____36____ Organic output is typically 25 percent lower than conventional farming output. Switching all the world to organic would mean turning 24 percent more natural habitats into agricultural land to meet future demands, doing more harm than good to nature. Researchers who conclude that organic agriculture could not feed the globe’s growing population also recognize that conventional agriculture can’t carry on as it is, either. ____37____ In experiments, they are testing integrated approaches that combine the green touch of organic farming with a small amount of chemical fertilizer and strictly targeted chemical treatments applied when needed — an approach known as low-input agriculture. Studies show that low-input integrated farming is successful for both output and the environment. After an eight-year experiment, scientists reported promising results from multi-year crop rotation (轮作) systems. Crops were switched every two to four years and assessed for output. Output rose as the number of rotations increased. ____38____ The potential harm to freshwater ecosystems from weed killer was 99.9 percent lower in the low-input corn plots than in the conventional corn plots. ____39____ Organic farming is important on local scales, but the world won’t ever be fed by just organic.

We often think that to be productive, we need to master time-management techniques. But have you ever noticed that when you’re emotionally worn out, you struggle to stay organized or motivated? Or when you’re overwhelmed, tasks like answering emails or doing laundry pile up? Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities, often drive people to over-commit. Even with a well-organized calendar, you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks, only to feel overwhelmed and rushed, which can lead to anxiety or even depression. The problem is not your time-management skills, but emotional overload. True productivity isn’t about doing more in less time; it’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20-30% higher productivity than those who rely only on time management. The good news is that emotional management isn’t about grand gestures — it grows in small, intentional shifts. Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments. When someone asks you to take on an additional task, don’t immediately agree. Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations. Besides, separate your work outcomes from your self-worth. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle, it takes patience and sensibility within yourself. Change is hard, but every step, no matter how small, is a step toward reclaiming your well-being. 40．What often make people over-commit? 41．What is true productivity about? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will concentrate on managing emotions rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. 43．Besides what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to better manage your emotions?

Join Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) to support the National Park Service in preserving and protecting national parks, with flexible volunteer arrangements — you can take part for a day or year-round, individually or with friends and family, and choose spots close to home or dream destinations, as opportunities are offered nationwide. What Can Volunteers Do? The possibilities are as diverse as the national parks themselves Here are some example volunteer activities: ◆Lead or support education and public-facing programs ◆Maintain or rebuild trails or historic buildings ◆Conduct research or monitor wildlife to preserve our natural resources ◆Help families make memories happen as a campground host ◆Support libraries, archives, and museums in parks to preserve our cultural resources ◆Educate train travelers on the natural and cultural heritage of a region through the Trails & Rails program Find a Volunteer Opportunity ◆Visit Volunteer.gov to search opportunities by location, specific site or activity, or just browse freely. ◆Check the volunteer webpage of a specific park (find by state, click Get Involved then Volunteer), though not all parks have such pages. ◆Explore special programs like citizen science to find activities matching your interests. ◆Join single or multi-day volunteer events to try volunteering easily. Become a Volunteer Apply for an opportunity via Volunteer.gov, with offline Volunteer Service Application (OF301) in Mandarin and Spanish available if needed; a supervisor will then confirm your position and discuss duties, duration and schedule with you.

After finishing onboarding (including training and receiving necessary items), report your volunteer hours and accomplishments to your supervisor regularly. Devote your spare time and make a big difference to national parks through VIP! 21. Which activity protects cultural resources? A. Assisting libraries and archives in parks. B. Building trails or historic buildings. C. Monitoring wildlife for natural resources. D. Teaching travelers regional cultural heritage. 22. What can we learn about volunteer procedures? A. Application forms are only in one language. B. Duties and time are discussed with supervisors. C. Pre-start paperwork and random reports are required. D. Onboarding includes training and professional skill tests. 23. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce main park volunteer tasks. B. To offer detailed volunteer application steps. C. To advocate participation in park volunteering. D. To stress the importance of park resource protection. B For as long as I can remember, I have been doing gymnastics. I started gymnastics at a very young age. I was only three years old when my mother first put me in a mommy-and-me class. My mom never expected me to love it as much as I did, or even continue it for twelve years and become competitive in it. We went to competitions all over the state of Florida. Occasionally we would compete out of state. My favorite event in gymnastics was the balance beam. I loved the challenge of flipping on a four-inch piece of wood. I was always referred to as “beam queen” because I had a natural talent for it. Doing skills on the balance beam always came easy to me, and my love for this event showed when I scored well in competitions. Although I am no longer able to do gymnastics because of a defect that was found in my spine, I still love it as much as I would if I were still doing it. It was really tough trying to accept the fact that my life of gymnastics, after eleven years, was over. But after all the sad moments, I picked up a new hobby — volleyball. It helped me pass the time. Yet words cannot explain how much I love gymnastics or how I would give anything for my back to be healed and to go back to the gym. The good news is that I haven’t lost all of my skills. Whenever I visit the gym, I still like to flip around and see what I can do. I don’t know why I loved the sport so much. I just did. I mean it could have been for many reasons. Some challenges came with the sport though. For instance, I had a tough schedule to keep. I trained for four hours a day, five days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and when you threw school and homework in there, it got pretty complicated. I was constantly tired from going to bed late because of the gym and having to wake up early for school. I barely even got to rest on the weekends because that’s when all the competitions were. As I look back on it now, I really miss the late nights and the busy schedule. From this sport, I have learned so many things that will help me later in life. I will never forget the memories that were made. Gymnastics will always be a part of me. 24. What can we learn about the author’s childhood? A. She developed an enthusiasm for gymnastics. B. She competed frequently outside Florida. C. She learned gymnastics from her mom. D. She dreamed of participating in international competitions. 25. Knowing she could no longer do gymnastics the author ______. A. stayed away from gyms and lost interest in sports B. started a new hobby but still missed doing gymnastics C. felt relieved to be free from the tiring training schedule D. forgot gymnastics quickly and devoted herself to volleyball 26.What was one of the challenges the writer faced when doing gymnastics? A. She had no natural talent for gymnastics at first. B. She could not get along well with her teammates. C. She was laughed at by others during training. D. Her busy training schedule made her life tiring. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Everything comes to those who wait. B. When one door closes, another opens. C. True passion leaves a lasting mark on one’s life. D. Success in sports demands hard work and determination. C （新热点）For half a century, psychologist Keith Holyoak has studied analogy — the capacity to see relational similarities between superficially dissimilar things — as a cornerstone of human intelligence. His new book, The Human Edge, takes a fresh look at analogy as a defining feature of human thought. At its core, analogy enables us to apply prior knowledge to novel situations. Unlike simple perceptual similarity, analogy maps relational patterns across different domains. The proverb about two dogs fighting over a bone while a third runs away, for instance, illuminates a business scenario where competing corporations weaken each other, allowing a rival to take advantage. This capacity for relational mapping underpins fluid intelligence — the ability to reason about new problems — and strongly predicts performance on intelligence tests. Analogy also drives creativity. Holyoak’s classic research on the “radiation problem” illustrates this: participants struggled to destroy a tumor (肿瘤) with rays without harming healthy tissue. But those first exposed to a story about a general attacking a castle from multiple sides readily devised the convergent (会聚的) ray solution. While we often fail to retrieve useful analogies independently, exposure to structurally similar but superficially different situations can spark breakthrough thinking. This cognitive capacity develops early and naturally. Children begin reasoning analogically around age three and the capacity continues to develop until adulthood. Holyoak identifies this as a “Late System” — a uniquely human, evolutionarily recent ability for general relational reasoning. It builds upon and cooperates with older, specialized “Early Systems” we share with other animals. While nonhuman species perform tasks that resemble analogical reasoning, these successes remain domain-specific. Humans alone can map relations across any content, from fairy tales to physics. This special ability, however, grants neither wisdom nor morality. Abstract thought has yielded both medical cures and weapons of mass destruction. As Holyoak notes, if Earth becomes uninhabitable, it won’t be the chimpanzees’ fault. The rise of AI presents a new frontier. Large language models (LLMs) now solve analogy problems at a college-student level, and their computational power could eventually produce superhuman intelligence. Yet they lack autonomy and, crucially, the ability to spontaneously notice a meaningful analogy. In art, this limitation may prove difficult to overcome. AI, lacking emotion, consciousness, and individuality, produces work many find soulless. Human uniqueness stems from the evolution of cooperative systems: a “Late System” that enables complex relational reasoning and the “Early Systems” that reflect our vast biological heritage. Their integration is the very essence of the human edge. 28. What does the word “underpins” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Supports. B. Evaluates. C. Replaces. D. Frames. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The “Late System” is developed in adulthood. B. The “two dogs” proverb encourages competitions. C. The convergent ray solution arose from an analogy. D. LLMs can’t form analogies due to lack of autonomy. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Developing Analogy: The Core of Human Creativity B.

I’m delighted you plan to organize an event about Chinese traditional culture, and my suggestion is to hold an activity to experience tea culture. Here’s a detailed plan to ensure it is well-organized. First, you can invite an expert to introduce two typical types of tea, explaining their origins and health benefits. Then the expert will demonstrate the traditional steps of making tea and the participants will follow suit. Finally, you can arrange a tea-tasting session with traditional snacks. This combination of knowledge and hands-on practice will impress the participants, as it deepens their understanding of Chinese culture. Hope my suggestion will help. Looking forward to your reply.​ Yours,​ Li Hua 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
