Recent technological breakthroughs have revealed their hidden roles. Key Uses of Mushrooms by Ancient Humans: Time Period Group Usage Specific Details 48,000 years ago Neanderthals (尼安德特人) Food; Medicine 1. People ate gray & split mushrooms; 2. People chewed penicillin mould (青霉素霉菌) for tooth infection. 11,000 years ago Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers Starting fires 1. 82 preserved mushrooms were in Yorkshire, UK; 2. Mushrooms were processed into something that could be used with tree skin as easy-to-carry fire-starting kit. 10,000 years ago Early rice cultivators (East Asia) Making beer 1. A special tiny mushroom changed rice into sugar; 2. The mushrooms were mixed with tiny things in the air to make the first rice beer. 5,300 years ago New Stone Age Ötzi the Iceman (冰人奥兹) Fishing floats; Starting fires 1. Some mushrooms were covered with bee wax for reusable floats; 2. Dry mushroom material and a special stone in a leather bag were used to start fires. Important Discoveries: 1. Chemical tests show mushrooms’ carbon and nitrogen (氮) levels are similar to plants and meat, meaning they were likely part of ancient diets but previously undetected. 2. Scientists found bits of mushrooms stuck in 15,000-year-old teeth, proving consumption. 1. Why were mushrooms’ contributions ignored for a long time? A. Because recent technology had not been invented. B. Because people showed no interest in mushrooms. C. Because mushrooms played no role in human survival. D. Because mushrooms were not well preserved in fossils. 2. Which two ancient groups used mushrooms as fire starters? A. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Neanderthals. B. Neanderthals and Early rice cultivators. C. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Ötzi the Iceman. D. Ötzi the Iceman and Early rice cultivators. 3. What directly proves ancient humans ate mushrooms? A. Chemical tests. B. Undetected diet history. C. Preservation technology. D. Mushroom pieces in ancient teeth. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了蘑菇在人类生存和文明中的重要作用及古代人类对蘑菇的使用情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Mushrooms played a vital role in human survival and civilization, but their contributions were long overlooked due to poor preservation in the fossil record. (蘑菇在人类生存和文明中发挥了至关重要的作用，但由于在化石记录中保存不佳，它们的贡献长期以来一直被忽视。)”可知，蘑菇的贡献长期被忽视是因为蘑菇在化石中保存得不好。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第三行“Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers (中石器时代狩猎采集者)”、“Starting fires (生火)”和最后一行“New Stone Age Ötzi the Iceman (冰人奥兹) (新石器时代冰人奥兹)”、“Fishing floats; Starting fires (钓鱼浮标；生火)”可知，中石器时代狩猎采集者和冰人奥兹用蘑菇生火。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Scientists found bits of mushrooms stuck in 15,000-year-old teeth, proving consumption. (科学家在1.5万年前的牙齿上发现了蘑菇碎片，证明了蘑菇曾被食用。)”可知，古代牙齿中的蘑菇碎片直接证明了古代人类食用蘑菇。 B When scientists at Columbia University announced they had made a cheesecake using a 3D printer, many people laughed. But for 14-year-old Maya Rodriguez, it was the most exciting news she’d heard all year. Maya had always loved baking. Her grandmother, a professional baker in Mexico City, taught her to make traditional Mexican pastries when she was just seven. But Maya also loved technology. She often dreamed of combining her two passions. “The article said the scientists used a 3D printer to build the cheesecake layer by layer — graham crackers, peanut butter, Nutella, banana puree, and strawberry jam, “Maya explained. “It wasn’t just mixing things together. The printer could place each ingredient exactly where it needed to be. “Inspired, Maya spent her summer researching 3D food printing. She learned that while 3D printing was first tested in 1981, food printing was still in its early stages. Most food printers could only handle one ingredient at a time. The Columbia team’s breakthrough was using multiple ingredients in one print. “I started experimenting with my family’s kitchen printer — the regular kind, not a food printer,” Maya laughed. “I designed layers for a traditional Mexican tres leches cake.” Her big moment came at the school science fair. Maya presented her design alongside samples of her hand-baked cake. A local newspaper covered her project. Soon after, a university food science program invited her to visit their lab. “It’s not really about the cake,” Maya said. “It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.” 4. How did Maya first learn about 3D-printed food? A. From a news article. B. From her grandmother. C. From a school science fair. D. From a university lab visit. 5. What was special about the Columbia University team’s 3D-printed cheesecake? A. It was the first 3D-printed food ever made. B. It could be printed in just one minute. C. It integrated multiple ingredients into one print. D. It tasted better than regular cheesecake. 6. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. 3D printers. B. New technologies. C. University scientists. D. Maya’s grandmother’s recipes. 7. What message does Maya’s story mainly convey? A. 3D printing will replace traditional baking. B. Young people should enter science fairs. C. Technology can help preserve cultural traditions. D. Cheesecake is the best food to 3D-print. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了14岁女孩玛雅受新闻启发，研究3D食物打印并探索传统与科技结合的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When scientists at Columbia University announced they had made a cheesecake using a 3D printer, many people laughed. But for 14-year-old Maya Rodriguez, it was the most exciting news she’d heard all year.(当哥伦比亚大学的科学家宣布他们用3D打印机制作了一个芝士蛋糕时，许多人都笑了。但对于14岁的玛雅·罗德里格斯来说，这是她一整年听到的最令人兴奋的消息)”以及第二段中“The article said the scientists used a 3D printer to build the cheesecake layer by layer(文章说科学家们用3D打印机一层一层地制作芝士蛋糕)”可知，玛雅是从一篇新闻文章中第一次了解到3D打印食物的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Columbia team’s breakthrough was using multiple ingredients in one print.(哥伦比亚大学的突破是在一次打印中使用多种食材)”可知，哥伦比亚大学团队制作的3D打印芝士蛋糕的特别之处在于它将多种食材整合在一次打印中。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.(我祖母的食谱有几百年的历史了。也许打印机能让它们再延续几百年)”可知，玛雅认为3D打印机也许能让祖母的食谱再延续几百年，由此可知，them指代的是“玛雅祖母的食谱”。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文呢，尤其是根据最后一段中“It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.(这是为了表明旧传统和新技术可以共同发挥作用。我祖母的食谱有几百年的历史了。也许打印机能让它们再延续几百年)”可知，文章主要讲述了玛雅的故事，传达了科技可以帮助保护文化传统的信息。 C When wolves bring down animals, ravens (渡鸦) often arrive first. Even before wolves begin feeding, these birds gather nearby, ready to take leftover bits. Their timing has long seemed surprising, leading many to assume ravens simply follow wolves to find food. A new study published in Science, however, reveals a much more advanced strategy. Instead of following wolves continuously, ravens remember locations where kills are likely to happen and return to those areas, even from great distances. To understand raven behavior, researchers from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna fitted 69 birds with GPS trackers. In addition to raven data, they analyzed movement patterns from 20 collared wolves. They focused on winter, when ravens most often interact with wolves, recording locations every 30 minutes for birds and every hour for wolves. They also documented where and when wolves killed prey. Over the course of the study, researchers discovered that ravens seldom followed wolves for more than an hour or one kilometer. Instead, they visited particular locations repeatedly, demonstrating that ravens remember the most productive hunting grounds. This suggests that ravens learn which areas are more likely to provide food, a strategy that helps them find meals efficiently without constantly tracking wolves. The researchers say ravens may still follow wolves over short distances when they are nearby, but on a larger scale, memory plays the leading role. Senior author Prof John M. Marzluff explains, “What our study clearly shows is that ravens are flexible in where they decide to feed. They don’t stay tied to a particular wolf pack. With their sharp senses and memory of past feeding locations, they can select among many feeding opportunities far and wide. The study suggests that some species, like ravens, may be underestimated in terms of their intelligence and ability to adapt to their environment.” 8. What is the function of Paragraph 1? A. To introduce a widely held belief. B. To describe animals’ hunting skills. C. To explain why ravens follow wolves. D. To present difficulties in tracking birds. 9. Why did the researchers choose to focus on winter? A. Ravens are easier to track in winter. B. Wolves are more active during winter. C. GPS devices perform best in cold weather. D. Ravens interact most frequently with wolves then. 10. Which of the following is NOT supported by the study results? A. Ravens always arrive first at every wolf kill. B. Ravens seldom follow wolves for long periods. C. Ravens use memory to improve feeding efficiency. D. Ravens remember particularly successful hunting areas. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Ravens: Adapting to Wolves’ Habits. B. Ravens: Memory over Wolf Following. C. How Ravens Compete with Wolves for Food. D. GPS Tracking Reveals Ravens’ Migration Patterns. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了一项新研究发现渡鸦依靠记忆而非跟随狼群来寻找食物。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When wolves bring down animals, ravens (渡鸦) often arrive first. Even before wolves begin feeding, these birds gather nearby, ready to take leftover bits. Their timing has long seemed surprising, leading many to assume ravens simply follow wolves to find food.(当狼群猎捕到动物时，渡鸦往往最先抵达。甚至在狼群开始进食之前，这些鸟类就已经聚集在附近，准备捡食残留的碎肉。它们出现的时机一直令人惊讶，这让许多人认为，渡鸦只是单纯地跟在狼群后面寻找食物。)”可知，第一段介绍了人们普遍持有的观点，为下文新研究做铺垫。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They focused on winter, when ravens most often interact with wolves, recording locations every 30 minutes for birds and every hour for wolves.(他们把重点放在冬天，因为渡鸦在冬天最常与狼互动，每30分钟记录一次鸟的位置，每小时记录一次狼的位置。)”可知，研究人员选择关注冬天是因为渡鸦在冬天与狼的互动最为频繁。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When wolves bring down animals, ravens (渡鸦) often arrive first.(当狼捕杀动物时，渡鸦通常最先到达。)”可知，渡鸦只是“通常”最先到达，而不是“总是”最先到达，A项说法过于绝对，与原文不符。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Instead of following wolves continuously, ravens remember locations where kills are likely to happen and return to those areas, even from great distances.(渡鸦不会连续跟着狼，而是记住可能发生捕杀的地点，即使相隔很远，也会回到这些区域。)”以及最后一段中“The researchers say ravens may still follow wolves over short distances when they are nearby, but on a larger scale, memory plays the leading role.(研究人员表示，渡鸦可能仍然会在附近短距离跟随狼群，但从更大的范围来看，记忆起着主导作用。)”可知，文章主要介绍了渡鸦依靠记忆而非跟随狼群来寻找食物，B选项“渡鸦：记忆胜过跟随狼群。”为最佳标题。 D For many years, pain assessment in medical settings has relied heavily on patients’ self-report or caregivers’ observation. Yet this approach is often unreliable, especially for individuals who cannot communicate clearly, such as people with dementia (痴呆). As a result, pain is frequently mistaken for behavioral problems, leading to inappropriate treatment while the real cause remains unaddressed. In response, researchers have turned to new technologies to improve how pain is recognized. One example is PainChek, a smartphone-based application that analyzes facial expressions. It identifies small muscle movements associated with pain and combines them with observable signs such as sleep disturbance, providing a more consistent way to evaluate patients who cannot speak for themselves. The effectiveness has been demonstrated in practice. At Orchard Care Homes in the United Kingdom, the introduction of PainChek led to noticeable changes. Staff reported fewer unnecessary medications and a calmer environment among residents. Some individuals who had kept to themselves due to untreated pain began to eat normally and engage with others again. “We immediately saw the benefits,” recalls Cheryl Baird, the facility’s former quality director, noting that the system revealed pain that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Even so, this approach is not without limits. Systems that rely on facial analysis may work less accurately across different groups or confuse pain with other emotions. There is also concern that overreliance on such tools could weaken clinical judgment rather than support it. For this reason, technology is best seen not as a replacement, but as a support to human care. It can make hidden suffering more visible, but it cannot fully interpret it on its own. As Baird reflects from her own experience with long-lasting pain, having one’s pain acknowledged is often the first step toward healing. If tools like this can help give a clearer voice to those who cannot speak, their value may lie not in perfection, but in making care more attentive, more responsive, and ultimately more humane. 12. What is the problem with traditional pain assessment? A. It takes too much time to complete. B. It often fails to identify pain accurately. C. It overlooks patients with clear communication. D. It depends too much on patients’ medical history. 13. Which of the following changes did PainChek bring to the care home? ① Unnoticed pain was identified. ② Staff worked longer hours each day. ③ Unnecessary medication use dropped. ④ Residents became more socially active. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 14. Why does Baird mention her personal pain experience? A. To call for better staff training. B. To praise advanced technology. C. To highlight accurate record-keeping. D. To stress the need for pain recognition. 15. What is the author’s view on new assessment tools? A. Effective but overused. B. Accurate but impersonal. C. Useful despite its limitations. D. Reliable despite its high cost. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了传统疼痛评估存在问题，新技术PainChek助力疼痛识别及其优缺点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet this approach is often unreliable, especially for individuals who cannot communicate clearly, such as people with dementia (痴呆). As a result, pain is frequently mistaken for behavioral problems, leading to inappropriate treatment while the real cause remains unaddressed.(然而，这种方法往往不可靠，尤其是对于那些无法清晰沟通的人，比如痴呆症患者。因此，疼痛经常被误认为是行为问题，导致不适当的治疗，而真正的原因仍未得到解决)”可知，传统疼痛评估的问题在于它常常不能准确地识别疼痛。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Staff reported fewer unnecessary medications and a calmer environment among residents. Some individuals who had kept to themselves due to untreated pain began to eat normally and engage with others again.(工作人员报告说，居民中不必要的药物使用减少了，环境也更加平静。一些因未治疗的疼痛而独处的人开始正常进食，并再次与他人交往)”以及“noting that the system revealed pain that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.(指出该系统揭示了原本可能被忽视的疼痛)”可知，PainChek给养老院带来的变化有：未被注意到的疼痛被识别出来，不必要药物使用减少，居民变得更加活跃。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Baird reflects from her own experience with long-lasting pain, having one’s pain acknowledged is often the first step toward healing.(正如Baird从自己长期疼痛的经历中所反思的那样，承认自己的疼痛往往是走向康复的第一步。)”可知，Baird提到她个人的疼痛经历是为了强调承认疼痛的重要性，即强调疼痛识别的必要性。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For this reason, technology is best seen not as a replacement, but as a support to human care. It can make hidden suffering more visible, but it cannot fully interpret it on its own.(因此，技术最好被视为人类护理的辅助，而不是替代。它可以让隐藏的痛苦更加可见，但它不能自己完全解释它。)”以及“If tools like this can help give a clearer voice to those who cannot speak, their value may lie not in perfection, but in making care more attentive, more responsive, and ultimately more humane.(如果像这样的工具可以帮助那些不能说话的人发出更清晰的声音，那么它们的价值可能不在于完美，而在于使护理更加周到、更加敏感，最终更加人性化。)”可知，作者认为新的评估工具尽管有局限性，但仍是有用的。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are You Reacting or Choosing? Have you ever told yourself, “I feel like I’ve been busy all day, but I got nothing done”? You’re switching from task to task as new requests come through, but you don’t have a spare minute to connect with the bigger picture. ___16___ Reacting is what happens when you move through your day on autopilot. Choosing, by contrast, is intentional (有目的的；主动选择的). Here are tips that help shift from reactive autopilot to intentional living. Identify your values. The confidence to choose comes when you know what matters most to you — whether that’s family time, creativity, leadership, or health. ___17___ ___18___ Even a few seconds of reflection can break the cycle of automatic agreement. Try asking yourself: Will this move me closer to my values, pull me further away, or simply distract me from the bigger picture? Experiment with boundaries. Treat each “no” as a small test. You might discover that people still respect you, your family adjusts, and you actually gain energy for the opportunities that excite you. ___19___ And every time you choose, you remind yourself that your life is yours to shape. ___20___ You move forward on projects and passions that leave you feeling fulfilled, with energy left over for life outside of work. Over time, you’ll notice that success feels less like constantly proving yourself and more spacious. A. Choose your own route. B. Pause before saying yes. C. This is the result of confusing reacting with choosing. D. When you practice choosing instead of reacting, the benefits add up. E. Each successful experiment can help you build confidence in your ability to choose. F. It’s about following your own North Star, whether that leads you down a unique path. G. Clear values act like a filter (过滤器), helping you decide what deserves your “yes”. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了如何从被动反应转向主动选择以实现更有意义的生活。 【16题详解】 由上文“Have you ever told yourself, ‘I feel like I’ve been busy all day, but I got nothing done’? You’re switching from task to task as new requests come through, but you don’t have a spare minute to connect with the bigger picture. (你有没有对自己说过：“我觉得我一整天都很忙，但什么都没完成”？新需求不断出现，你不停切换任务，无暇顾及全局。)”及下文“Reacting is what happens when you move through your day on autopilot. Choosing, by contrast, is intentional (有目的的；主动选择的). (被动应付，就是机械麻木地度过每一天。与之相反，主动选择是带有目的、自主决定的行为。)”可知，上文描述了一种忙碌却无成果的状态，下文则解释了这是被动应付而非主动选择的结果，本空应指出这种状态是混淆被动应付和主动选择的结果。C选项“这是混淆反应和选择的结果。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由上文“The confidence to choose comes when you know what matters most to you — whether that’s family time, creativity, leadership, or health. (当你知道什么对你最重要时——无论是家庭时间、创造力、领导力还是健康——选择的信心就会到来。)”可知，上文强调了明确个人价值观的重要性，本空应进一步说明明确价值观如何帮助做出选择。G选项“明确的价值观就像一个过滤器，帮助你决定什么值得你说“是”。”能承接上文，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由下文“Even a few seconds of reflection can break the cycle of automatic agreement. Try asking yourself: Will this move me closer to my values, pull me further away, or simply distract me from the bigger picture? (即使是几秒钟的反思也能打破自动同意的循环。试着问问自己：这会让我更接近我的价值观，还是会让我离得更远，或者只是分散我对大局的注意力？)”可知，下文建议在做决定前进行短暂反思，本空应引出这一建议。B选项“在说“是”之前暂停一下。”能引出下文，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“Treat each “no” as a small test. You might discover that people still respect you, your family adjusts, and you actually gain energy for the opportunities that excite you. (把每一个“不”都当作一个小测试。你可能会发现人们仍然尊重你，你的家人会适应，你实际上会为那些让你兴奋的机会获得能量。)”及下文“And every time you choose, you remind yourself that your life is yours to shape. (每次你做出选择时，你都会提醒自己，你的生活是由你自己塑造的。)”可知，上文描述了拒绝带来的积极影响，下文强调每次选择都是对自我生活的塑造，此处承接设立边界、学会拒绝带来的积极作用。E选项“Each successful experiment can help you build confidence in your ability to choose (每一次成功的实验都能帮助你建立选择的信心。)”能承上启下，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由下文“You move forward on projects and passions that leave you feeling fulfilled, with energy left over for life outside of work. Over time, you’ll notice that success feels less like constantly proving yourself and more spacious. (你在那些让你感到满足的项目和热情上前进，还有精力去应对工作之外的生活。随着时间的推移，你会注意到成功不再像是不断地证明自己，而是更加宽广。)”可知，下文描述了主动选择带来的积极结果，此处总述主动选择、拒绝被动应对带来的长期益处。D选项“When you practice choosing instead of reacting, the benefits add up. (当你练习选择而不是反应时，好处会累积起来。)”能概括下文，符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was fifteen, I tried out for the school basketball team.

Steam rose from the pot. Laughter bounced off the walls. Flour dusted the table like fresh snow. And in the middle of it stood Grandma, issuing instructions as if she were conducting an orchestra (管弦乐队). “Not too much filling!” she called out, “We’re making dumplings, not pillows!” Every year, no matter how busy life became, the entire family returned home for this ritual (仪式). Uncles rushed in from work, aunts arrived with bags of fruit and snacks, and cousins who usually lived on their phones suddenly found themselves elbow-deep in flour. Sixteen-year-old Jun complained about it when he was younger. He used to think New Year’s Eve meant missing out on hanging out with friends or playing video games. But somehow, the noise and chaos started to feel... necessary. Jun tried to look serious as he folded his third dumpling of the evening. It leaned awkwardly to one side, more like a collapsed tent. “It has personality,” he defended himself. His cousin Mei burst into laughter. “If personality means falling apart in boiling water, then yes.” At this moment, they noticed that Grandma placed a coin inside one of the dumplings, carefully sealing it. “Tradition,” she said with a wink. “Whoever finds it will have the best luck this year. And remember to make a wish during the midnight countdown (倒计时).” That changed everything. A slight “tension” filled the kitchen. Everyone became unusually careful while eating. Each bite was slow and suspicious. Jun examined his dumpling like a detective studying evidence. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Jun let out a small yelp (尖叫) , all eyes turned toward him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the countdown, Jun pressed the coin gently into Grandma’s palm. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When Jun let out a small yelp (尖叫) , all eyes turned toward him. His face flushed as he spat out a shiny coin, which glinted under the kitchen lights. “I found it!” he shouted, jumping up and down. The room erupted in cheers and laughter, while Mei pretended to pout, saying, “I guess my dumplings weren’t lucky enough this year.” Grandma smiled warmly, patting Jun’s shoulder. “Remember to make a wish,” she reminded him gently. Jun closed his eyes for a moment, thinking about what he truly wanted, which was for the family to stay together and happy just like this night. After the countdown, Jun pressed the coin gently into Grandma’s palm. “This should be yours, Grandma,” he said sincerely. “You’re the one who keeps our traditions alive.” Grandma looked surprised but touched, her eyes twinkling with tears. “What a thoughtful boy you’ve become,” she murmured, hugging him tightly. Everyone agreed that Jun had grown up that night, realizing that the real treasure wasn’t the coin itself but the love and memories they shared while making dumplings together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以李家包饺子这一传统仪式为线索展开。除夕夜，全家齐聚厨房包饺子，热闹非凡。奶奶在其中一个饺子里放了硬币，称吃到的人今年会有好运。得知此事，大家吃饺子时都格外小心，每咬一口都带着期待。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“俊突然轻轻叫了一声，所有人的目光都转向了他。”可知，第一段可以描写俊吃到硬币时的意外反应，家人的热闹反应，以及奶奶提醒他许愿，俊许下阖家幸福的心愿。 ②由第二段句首内容“跨年倒计时结束后，俊把那枚硬币轻轻放到奶奶手心里。”可知，第二段可以描写跨年倒计时后俊把幸运硬币送给奶奶，奶奶感动落泪，家人由此感受到俊的成长，点明真正珍贵的是亲情与共同回忆的主旨。 2.续写线索：意外吃到硬币 —— 家人欢呼热闹 —— 许下团圆心愿 —— 赠予奶奶硬币 —— 感悟亲情珍贵 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳上跳下：jump up and down/bounce up and down ②拍某人的肩膀：pat sb’s shoulder/tap on sb’s shoulder ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①开心：happy/joyful/delighted ②惊讶：surprised/astonished/amazed 【点睛】【高分句型1】His face flushed as he spat out a shiny coin, which glinted under the kitchen lights.

Recent technological breakthroughs have revealed their hidden roles. Key Uses of Mushrooms by Ancient Humans: Time Period Group Usage Specific Details 48,000 years ago Neanderthals (尼安德特人) Food; Medicine 1. People ate gray & split mushrooms; 2. People chewed penicillin mould (青霉素霉菌) for tooth infection. 11,000 years ago Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers Starting fires 1. 82 preserved mushrooms were in Yorkshire, UK; 2. Mushrooms were processed into something that could be used with tree skin as easy-to-carry fire-starting kit. 10,000 years ago Early rice cultivators (East Asia) Making beer 1. A special tiny mushroom changed rice into sugar; 2. The mushrooms were mixed with tiny things in the air to make the first rice beer. 5,300 years ago New Stone Age Ötzi the Iceman (冰人奥兹) Fishing floats; Starting fires 1. Some mushrooms were covered with bee wax for reusable floats; 2. Dry mushroom material and a special stone in a leather bag were used to start fires. Important Discoveries: 1. Chemical tests show mushrooms’ carbon and nitrogen (氮) levels are similar to plants and meat, meaning they were likely part of ancient diets but previously undetected. 2. Scientists found bits of mushrooms stuck in 15,000-year-old teeth, proving consumption. 1. Why were mushrooms’ contributions ignored for a long time? A. Because recent technology had not been invented. B. Because people showed no interest in mushrooms. C. Because mushrooms played no role in human survival. D. Because mushrooms were not well preserved in fossils. 2. Which two ancient groups used mushrooms as fire starters? A. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Neanderthals. B. Neanderthals and Early rice cultivators. C. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Ötzi the Iceman. D. Ötzi the Iceman and Early rice cultivators. 3. What directly proves ancient humans ate mushrooms? A. Chemical tests. B. Undetected diet history. C. Preservation technology. D. Mushroom pieces in ancient teeth. B When scientists at Columbia University announced they had made a cheesecake using a 3D printer, many people laughed. But for 14-year-old Maya Rodriguez, it was the most exciting news she’d heard all year. Maya had always loved baking. Her grandmother, a professional baker in Mexico City, taught her to make traditional Mexican pastries when she was just seven. But Maya also loved technology. She often dreamed of combining her two passions. “The article said the scientists used a 3D printer to build the cheesecake layer by layer — graham crackers, peanut butter, Nutella, banana puree, and strawberry jam, “Maya explained. “It wasn’t just mixing things together. The printer could place each ingredient exactly where it needed to be. “Inspired, Maya spent her summer researching 3D food printing. She learned that while 3D printing was first tested in 1981, food printing was still in its early stages. Most food printers could only handle one ingredient at a time. The Columbia team’s breakthrough was using multiple ingredients in one print. “I started experimenting with my family’s kitchen printer — the regular kind, not a food printer,” Maya laughed. “I designed layers for a traditional Mexican tres leches cake.” Her big moment came at the school science fair. Maya presented her design alongside samples of her hand-baked cake. A local newspaper covered her project. Soon after, a university food science program invited her to visit their lab. “It’s not really about the cake,” Maya said. “It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.” 4. How did Maya first learn about 3D-printed food? A. From a news article. B. From her grandmother. C. From a school science fair. D. From a university lab visit. 5. What was special about the Columbia University team’s 3D-printed cheesecake? A. It was the first 3D-printed food ever made. B. It could be printed in just one minute. C. It integrated multiple ingredients into one print. D. It tasted better than regular cheesecake. 6. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. 3D printers. B. New technologies. C. University scientists. D. Maya’s grandmother’s recipes. 7. What message does Maya’s story mainly convey? A. 3D printing will replace traditional baking. B. Young people should enter science fairs. C. Technology can help preserve cultural traditions. D. Cheesecake is the best food to 3D-print. C When wolves bring down animals, ravens (渡鸦) often arrive first. Even before wolves begin feeding, these birds gather nearby, ready to take leftover bits. Their timing has long seemed surprising, leading many to assume ravens simply follow wolves to find food. A new study published in Science, however, reveals a much more advanced strategy. Instead of following wolves continuously, ravens remember locations where kills are likely to happen and return to those areas, even from great distances. To understand raven behavior, researchers from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna fitted 69 birds with GPS trackers. In addition to raven data, they analyzed movement patterns from 20 collared wolves. They focused on winter, when ravens most often interact with wolves, recording locations every 30 minutes for birds and every hour for wolves. They also documented where and when wolves killed prey. Over the course of the study, researchers discovered that ravens seldom followed wolves for more than an hour or one kilometer. Instead, they visited particular locations repeatedly, demonstrating that ravens remember the most productive hunting grounds. This suggests that ravens learn which areas are more likely to provide food, a strategy that helps them find meals efficiently without constantly tracking wolves. The researchers say ravens may still follow wolves over short distances when they are nearby, but on a larger scale, memory plays the leading role. Senior author Prof John M. Marzluff explains, “What our study clearly shows is that ravens are flexible in where they decide to feed. They don’t stay tied to a particular wolf pack. With their sharp senses and memory of past feeding locations, they can select among many feeding opportunities far and wide. The study suggests that some species, like ravens, may be underestimated in terms of their intelligence and ability to adapt to their environment.” 8. What is the function of Paragraph 1? A. To introduce a widely held belief. B. To describe animals’ hunting skills. C. To explain why ravens follow wolves. D. To present difficulties in tracking birds. 9. Why did the researchers choose to focus on winter? A. Ravens are easier to track in winter. B. Wolves are more active during winter. C. GPS devices perform best in cold weather. D. Ravens interact most frequently with wolves then. 10. Which of the following is NOT supported by the study results? A. Ravens always arrive first at every wolf kill. B. Ravens seldom follow wolves for long periods. C. Ravens use memory to improve feeding efficiency. D. Ravens remember particularly successful hunting areas. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Ravens: Adapting to Wolves’ Habits. B. Ravens: Memory over Wolf Following. C. How Ravens Compete with Wolves for Food. D. GPS Tracking Reveals Ravens’ Migration Patterns. D For many years, pain assessment in medical settings has relied heavily on patients’ self-report or caregivers’ observation. Yet this approach is often unreliable, especially for individuals who cannot communicate clearly, such as people with dementia (痴呆). As a result, pain is frequently mistaken for behavioral problems, leading to inappropriate treatment while the real cause remains unaddressed. In response, researchers have turned to new technologies to improve how pain is recognized. One example is PainChek, a smartphone-based application that analyzes facial expressions. It identifies small muscle movements associated with pain and combines them with observable signs such as sleep disturbance, providing a more consistent way to evaluate patients who cannot speak for themselves. The effectiveness has been demonstrated in practice. At Orchard Care Homes in the United Kingdom, the introduction of PainChek led to noticeable changes. Staff reported fewer unnecessary medications and a calmer environment among residents. Some individuals who had kept to themselves due to untreated pain began to eat normally and engage with others again. “We immediately saw the benefits,” recalls Cheryl Baird, the facility’s former quality director, noting that the system revealed pain that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Even so, this approach is not without limits. Systems that rely on facial analysis may work less accurately across different groups or confuse pain with other emotions. There is also concern that overreliance on such tools could weaken clinical judgment rather than support it. For this reason, technology is best seen not as a replacement, but as a support to human care. It can make hidden suffering more visible, but it cannot fully interpret it on its own. As Baird reflects from her own experience with long-lasting pain, having one’s pain acknowledged is often the first step toward healing. If tools like this can help give a clearer voice to those who cannot speak, their value may lie not in perfection, but in making care more attentive, more responsive, and ultimately more humane. 12. What is the problem with traditional pain assessment? A. It takes too much time to complete. B. It often fails to identify pain accurately. C. It overlooks patients with clear communication. D. It depends too much on patients’ medical history. 13. Which of the following changes did PainChek bring to the care home? ① Unnoticed pain was identified. ② Staff worked longer hours each day. ③ Unnecessary medication use dropped. ④ Residents became more socially active. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 14. Why does Baird mention her personal pain experience? A. To call for better staff training. B. To praise advanced technology. C. To highlight accurate record-keeping. D. To stress the need for pain recognition. 15. What is the author’s view on new assessment tools? A. Effective but overused. B. Accurate but impersonal. C. Useful despite its limitations. D. Reliable despite its high cost. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are You Reacting or Choosing? Have you ever told yourself, “I feel like I’ve been busy all day, but I got nothing done”? You’re switching from task to task as new requests come through, but you don’t have a spare minute to connect with the bigger picture. ___16___ Reacting is what happens when you move through your day on autopilot. Choosing, by contrast, is intentional (有目的的；主动选择的). Here are tips that help shift from reactive autopilot to intentional living. Identify your values. The confidence to choose comes when you know what matters most to you — whether that’s family time, creativity, leadership, or health. ___17___ ___18___ Even a few seconds of reflection can break the cycle of automatic agreement. Try asking yourself: Will this move me closer to my values, pull me further away, or simply distract me from the bigger picture? Experiment with boundaries. Treat each “no” as a small test.

Steam rose from the pot. Laughter bounced off the walls. Flour dusted the table like fresh snow. And in the middle of it stood Grandma, issuing instructions as if she were conducting an orchestra (管弦乐队). “Not too much filling!” she called out, “We’re making dumplings, not pillows!” Every year, no matter how busy life became, the entire family returned home for this ritual (仪式). Uncles rushed in from work, aunts arrived with bags of fruit and snacks, and cousins who usually lived on their phones suddenly found themselves elbow-deep in flour. Sixteen-year-old Jun complained about it when he was younger. He used to think New Year’s Eve meant missing out on hanging out with friends or playing video games. But somehow, the noise and chaos started to feel... necessary. Jun tried to look serious as he folded his third dumpling of the evening. It leaned awkwardly to one side, more like a collapsed tent. “It has personality,” he defended himself. His cousin Mei burst into laughter. “If personality means falling apart in boiling water, then yes.” At this moment, they noticed that Grandma placed a coin inside one of the dumplings, carefully sealing it. “Tradition,” she said with a wink. “Whoever finds it will have the best luck this year. And remember to make a wish during the midnight countdown (倒计时).” That changed everything. A slight “tension” filled the kitchen. Everyone became unusually careful while eating. Each bite was slow and suspicious. Jun examined his dumpling like a detective studying evidence. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Jun let out a small yelp (尖叫) , all eyes turned toward him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the countdown, Jun pressed the coin gently into Grandma’s palm. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
