D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了海豚邂逅项目的相关信息、亮点、注意事项、价格及退款政策。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“On the floating platform, you will stand waist-deep and experience a hug, a dance and opportunities to give the dolphin much appreciated rubdowns (按摩).(在漂浮平台上，你将站在齐腰深的水中，体验拥抱、跳舞，并有机会为海豚提供备受赞赏的按摩。)”可知，参与者可以体验到亲手为海豚按摩的环节。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Know Before You Go部分中“All guests are required to complete a form before checking in. Parents must complete for all minors. Click here to complete and submit the digital form.(所有游客办理登记前均需填写登记表，未成年人需由监护人代为填写。点击此处填写并提交电子表格。)”可知，所有参与者必须事先填写并提交一份电子表格。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据Know Before You Go部分中“Click here to complete and submit the digital form.(点击此处填写并提交电子表格。)”和最后一段“Ready to make memories that last a lifetime? Join us and secure your spot now.(准备好创造一生难忘的回忆了吗？现在就加入我们，确保你的位置。)”可知，文章旨在吸引读者参与海豚邂逅项目，具有广告宣传的特点。因此，文章很可能来自一个在线广告。 B Anita Nowinska found her long-lost box of pastels (蜡笔) while digging through a worn suitcase, using only a candle for light as her power was cut off. “By candlelight I created my first flower painting,” she recalls. “As I painted, I found the deep sadness and pain I was feeling disappeared. That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.” It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped (交换) paints for fast money. “It gave me a very nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment (招聘) business in the growing Internet sector, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble (互联网泡沫) burst, many of her clients were hit hard. Despite covering expenses with her own savings, her business ultimately sank. Today, she is known for her vast, immersive (沉浸式的) canvases of meadows (草地), wild grasses and flowers — paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. “I want the viewer to see what I see. That the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder.” She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight wind. Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. “Walking through the greenery is my meditation (冥想),” she says. “These days we call it mindfulness, but for me it’s just immersing myself in wonder.” Viewers seem to agree. One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita’s work for three hours, later admitting it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. “I can’t teach you how to paint,” she says. “I can only teach you how to look.” And her latest series, See Me I Bloom, carries that lesson into womanhood itself: “It’s about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, their wisdom, their determination. We create and nurture life — what could be more important?” 4. What can be known about Anita’s early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A. She received formal art education from a young age. B. Her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. C. She prioritized financial success over art from the beginning. D. Her artistic talent was recognized early but she faced obstacles. 5. How did Anita feel about her years in the recruitment business? A. Rewarding yet stressful. B. Empty and meaningless. C. Challenging yet enjoyable. D. Successful and content. 6. Why does Anita paint large canvases? A. To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. B. To showcase her unique pastel techniques. C. To create a sense of complete immersion in nature. D. To distract viewers from technical imperfections. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Road to Business: Anita’s Career Change B. Anita’s Art Story: How Painting Heals C. The Commercial Value of Nature Paintings D. From Financial Success to Artistic Failure 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Anita在困境中重拾蜡笔作画，治愈了自己。她曾为谋生放弃艺术，生意失败后回归，创作大幅自然画作治愈他人，并传递女性自我价值的思考。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work.(正如她所说，这条职业道路并非一帆风顺。八岁时，Anita被邀请与一群大师一起学习。“如今是不允许这样的了。”她说。她的母亲支持她，给她买了油画颜料；而她的父亲则不太支持，经常毁坏她的作品。)”可知，第二段提到Anita 8岁就被邀请与大师组一同学习，艺术天赋早被认可；但父亲常毁掉她的作品，这说明她追求艺术的路上存在阻碍。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment (招聘) business in the growing Internet sector, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. ( Anita将艺术搁置一边，投身于互联网领域迅速发展的招聘业务中，但那些年她并没有一直感到快乐。)”可知，Anita对于自己在招聘行业工作的那些年一直未感到快乐，即感觉空虚、没有意义。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight wind.(她画得很大，是因为她希望观者能感受到被完全包围、沉浸在微风的摇曳之中。)”可知，她画大幅作品是为了让观者完全沉浸在自然之中。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段““By candlelight I created my first flower painting,” she recalls. “As I painted, I found the deep sadness and pain I was feeling disappeared. That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.”(“借着烛光，我创作了第一幅花卉画作，”她回忆道，“当我作画时，我发现自己内心深处的悲伤与痛苦消失了。这个简单的举动拯救了我，治愈了我，并让我找到了人生的意义。”)”并通读全文可知，全文讲述Anita在人生低谷时通过绘画治愈自己，之后又用画作治愈他人、传递自然之美与女性力量的故事，故B项“Anita的艺术故事：绘画如何治愈”符合文章的标题。 C The idea that smiling can make you feel happier has a long history. In 1872, Darwin mused (沉思) about whether an emotion that was expressed would be felt more intensely than one that was repressed. Early psychologists were musing about it in the 1880s. More than a hundred studies have been published on the topic. And it’s a trope (比喻) of pop wisdom: “Smile, though your heart is aching,” sang Nat King Cole in 1954. “You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you’ll just smile.” In 2018, social psychologist Fritz Strack published a study that seemed to confirm that facial feedback was real. The researchers asked participants to hold a pen in their mouths in a position that forced them either to bare their teeth in a copy of a smile or to purse their lips around the pen. To make sure that no one was clued in to the researchers’ interest in smiles, the experimenters told participants that they were exploring how people with physical disabilities might write or perform other ordinary tasks. When both groups were shown a set of newspaper comics-specifically, illustrations from Gary Larson’s The Far Side-the teeth-barers rated the images as funnier than the lip-pursers did. This was a big deal for the facial feedback hypothesis (假设): Even though participants weren’t thinking about smiling or their mood, just moving their face into a smile-like shape seemed to affect their emotions. And so the finding made its way into psychology textbooks and countless news headlines. Decades of confirmation followed, as researchers published other experiments that also showed support for the facial feedback hypothesis. But in 2025, all at once, 17 labs failed to repeat the pen study. 8. What does the underlined word “repressed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Recognized. B. Appreciated. C. Controlled. D. Tolerated. 9. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Researchers didn’t show their facial feedback. B. Participants were confused about the experiment. C. Participants were physically disabled. D. Researchers didn’t share their true purpose. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the result of the experiment? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Objective. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Comics’ influence on people’s mood. B. The research process of facial feedback hypothesis. C. Darwin’s thoughts about expressed emotions. D. How to make yourself feel happier easily. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了面部反馈假设的相关研究历程，包括早期探索、相关实验及后续争议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In 1872, Darwin mused (沉思) about whether an emotion that was expressed would be felt more intensely than one that was repressed.(1872年，达尔文沉思道，一种被表达出来的情绪是否会比一种被repressed的情绪更强烈)”可知，划线词与expressed(表达出来的)形成对比，意为“被压抑、被控制的”。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To make sure that no one was clued in to the researchers’ interest in smiles, the experimenters told participants that they were exploring how people with physical disabilities might write or perform other ordinary tasks.(为了确保没有人察觉到研究人员对微笑的兴趣，实验者告诉参与者，他们正在探索身体残疾的人如何写字或完成其他日常任务)”可知，研究人员没有告诉参与者实验的真实目的。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But in 2025, all at once, 17 labs failed to repeat the pen study.(但在2025年，17个实验室同时都未能重复这项钢笔实验的结果)”可知，文章客观介绍了1872年达尔文的沉思、2018年Fritz Strack的实验及结论，以及2025年17个实验室无法重复该实验的情况，既没有批判、质疑也没有支持某一实验结果，只是客观陈述研究过程和不同情况，因此作者对实验结果持客观态度。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头介绍面部反馈相关的早期探索，中间详细讲述2018年验证面部反馈假设的钢笔实验及结论，最后提到2025年该实验无法被重复的争议，核心围绕面部反馈假设的研究过程展开。选项B“The research process of facial feedback hypothesis.(面部反馈假设的研究过程)”能概括全文主旨。故选B。 D For years, sugar has been labeled a primary cause behind the global rise in diabetes (糖尿病), especially type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, groundbreaking research from Brigham Young University challenges this broad assumption. A large-scale study reveals a crucial detail: the source and form of sugar matter significantly when it comes to diabetes risk. The findings paint a contrasting picture. On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. On the other hand, sugars naturally present in or added to solid, nutrient-dense whole foods (such as whole fruits, dairy products, or whole grains) appeared to be far less harmful or potentially even protective. Why is there such a big difference? Researchers point to metabolism (新陈代谢). Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system. They cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar, overwhelming the liver. This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development. Conversely, sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream. The fiber, fat, protein, and other beneficial nutrients naturally accompanying the sugar in these whole foods act as buffers, reducing the glycemic (血糖的) impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded. The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice. Despite containing some vitamins, its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit. The vital fiber present in whole fruit, crucial for moderating blood sugar response, is largely missing in juice. “This study emphasizes the need for even stricter recommendations for liquid sugars such as those in sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice, as they appear to harmfully associate with metabolic health,” said Della Corte, one of the lead researchers. “Rather than criticizing all added sugars, future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form.” 12. Which form of sugar consumption brings a higher T2D risk? A. Sugar from whole grains and dairy products. B. Sugar naturally found in whole fruits. C. Sugar added to nutrient-dense solid foods. D. Sugar present in various liquid drinks. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reasons for sugar metabolism. B. The benefits of sugar metabolism. C. The differences in sugar metabolism. D. The significance of sugar metabolism. 14. To lower the risk of T2D, which practice is most likely supported by the study? A. Avoiding dairy products containing sugar. B. Replacing soda drinks with whole fruits. C. Increasing consumption of 100% fruit juice. D. Consuming as much fiber and fat as possible. 15. What can be inferred from Della Corte’s statement about future dietary guidelines? A. They should reconsider the impact of sugar on metabolism. B. They should remove fruit juice from recommendations. C. They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to sugar. D. They should criticize sugars regardless of different effects. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究，它对“糖是2型糖尿病上升的主要原因”这一普遍观点提出挑战，并阐述了不同形式糖分代谢差异、并给出相关建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. (一方面，以液体形式摄入的糖分，特别是通过含糖饮料如苏打水甚至100%的果汁，一直与2型糖尿病风险急剧增加有关联)”可知，各种液体饮料中的糖分摄入会使2型糖尿病风险更高。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一、二句“Why is there such a big difference? Researchers point to metabolism (新陈代谢). (为什么会有这么大的差异？研究人员指出是新陈代谢的原因)”可知，研究人员首先指出新陈代谢是造成巨大差异的原因。根据第三段“Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system. They cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar, overwhelming the liver. This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development. (饮料中的液态糖就像孤立的糖洪流一样进入人体系统。它们会导致血糖迅速飙升，使肝脏不堪重负。这种代谢紊乱导致肝脏脂肪增加和胰岛素抵抗，这是2型糖尿病发展的关键因素)”和“Conversely, sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream. ... act as buffers, reducing the glycemic (血糖的) impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded. (相反，添加到固体食物中的糖释放到血液中的速度要慢得多。……起到缓冲作用，降低血糖的影响，防止肝脏负荷过重)”可知，液体糖分和固体食物中糖分在新陈代谢方面有着不同表现和影响，因此第三段主要讲的是不同类型糖分在新陈代谢方面的差异。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. (一方面，以液体形式摄入的糖分，特别是通过含糖饮料如苏打水甚至100%的果汁，一直与2型糖尿病风险急剧增加有关联)”以及第四段“The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice. Despite containing some vitamins, its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit. (这项研究对果汁发出了明确的警告。尽管含有一些维生素，但它高浓度的液体糖分使其无法很好地替代完整的水果)”可知，用完整水果代替苏打饮料或100%的果汁能降低2型糖尿病风险，最有可能被这项研究支持。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Rather than criticizing all added sugars, future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form. (未来的饮食指南可能会根据糖的来源和形式考虑其不同影响，而不是批评所有的添加糖)”可知，未来的饮食指南不应该对糖分采取“一刀切”的方法。故选C项。 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。 We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away. ____16____ This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans. Scientists are working to solve the problems. But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now. Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a trillion (1,000 billion) plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average. ____17____ Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely. Skip the straw (吸管). Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. We should do something to turn over the situation. So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw. ____18____ In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example. ____19____ Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers. Recycle. ____20____ But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 32 cents per bottle. A. Build no-plastic regions. B. We can’t recycle all plastic products. C. You can also bring your own reusable one. D. Avoid plastic packaging. E. We ought to keep recycling plastic bottles. F. These plastics then break down into smaller pieces that can last for centuries. G. In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍塑料垃圾的危害及四种减少塑料垃圾的具体方法。 【16题详解】 上文“We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away.(我们用塑料制作很多东西，从医疗设备到电视再到食品包装。在它们使用寿命结束时，大多数塑料制品都会被扔掉)”说明了塑料制品的用途及最终的处理方式。空后“This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans.(这会带来问题，尤其是对世界海洋而言)”说明塑料垃圾带来的危害，空处需衔接上文“塑料制品被扔掉”，说明其如何带来危害。选项F“These plastics then break down into smaller pieces that can last for centuries.(这些塑料随后会分解成可以持续几个世纪的小碎片)”中的“These plastics”指代上文“被扔掉的塑料制品”，说明塑料被扔掉后分解成小碎片，进而带来危害，与下文“带来问题”相呼应，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average.(与此同时，丹麦人平均每年使用四个一次性塑料袋)”介绍了丹麦人使用一次性塑料袋的情况。空后“Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely.(如今，其他国家要么让顾客为塑料袋付费，要么完全禁止使用塑料袋)”说明其他国家对塑料袋的管控措施，空处需衔接上文丹麦的情况，引出下文其他国家的做法。选项G“In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags.(1993年，丹麦成为第一个对塑料袋征税的国家)”既补充了丹麦对塑料袋的管控措施，又为下文“其他国家采取管控措施”做铺垫，与上下文相呼应，符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 上文“So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw.(所以当你点饮料时，你可以拒绝吸管)”给出了拒绝使用塑料吸管的建议。空后“In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.(2018年，西雅图成为美国第一个停止使用塑料吸管的主要城市，许多其他城市也准备效仿)”介绍了城市层面停止使用塑料吸管的举措，空处需衔接上文个人层面的建议，补充另一种减少塑料吸管使用的方法。选项C“You can also bring your own reusable one.(你也可以带上自己的可重复使用的吸管)”中的“also”承接上文“拒绝塑料吸管”，补充了个人层面的另一种做法，与上下文相呼应，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers.(购买块状肥皂，而不是塑料容器装的液体肥皂。不要购买塑料包装的水果或蔬菜。在英国，领导人呼吁超市设立无塑料区域。他们还想对塑料外卖容器征税)”围绕“避免使用塑料包装”展开，空处需总领下文，概括该段核心内容。选项D“Avoid plastic packaging.(避免塑料包装)”直接点明该段主旨，衔接下文具体的避免塑料包装的做法，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“Recycle.(回收利用)”点明该段核心是回收塑料。空后“But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes.(但大多数塑料瓶和牛奶盒或果汁盒是可以回收的)”中的but表示转折，说明上文应提到“并非所有塑料都能回收”，空处需衔接上文“回收利用”，引出下文的转折内容。选项B“We can’t recycle all plastic products.(我们不能回收所有的塑料制品)”既承接上文“回收利用”的话题，又与下文“但大多数塑料瓶和牛奶盒或果汁盒是可以回收的”形成转折，符合语境。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I worked at a local university and our office was staffed with a few student workers.

A lot of people build up the first day to be the most intimidating (令人惊恐的) thing. I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don’t know what I’m doing. I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I’d had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring. When Dora and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice. Although a lot of students might not laugh when I made a strange joke, they weren’t rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. After maths class, we needed to go to another classroom to have history class. 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。 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. The hallways were a sea of unfamiliar faces, and the noise level was overwhelming. I clutched my schedule tightly, trying to navigate through the bustling crowds. Dora had a different schedule, so I was on my own. I felt like everyone else knew exactly where they were going, while I was lost in a maze. Suddenly, I heard Jane call my name. With the help of Jane, I found my next classroom just as the bell rang. I slipped into a seat, feeling relieved but still nervous about what the rest of the day would bring. During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. At first, I introduced Jane to Dora. Then Dora introduced us to some of her other friends, and although I was still a bit shy, I tried to join in the conversation. It was comforting to have a familiar face and to see that not everyone was as confident as they seemed. As the day went on, I started to feel more comfortable. By the end of the day, I realized that high school wasn’t as intimidating as I had feared, and I was ready to face the challenges ahead with a bit more confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者初入高中的经历。从担忧不安开始，因不熟悉环境、担心学业挑战而紧张。坐公交进校后，在人群中局促，上课也有些无措。不过，在朋友和同桌的帮助下，逐渐适应，午餐时融入交流，最终发现高中没那么可怕，有了面对挑战的信心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我有点害怕，因为我不知道该往哪儿走。走廊里都是陌生的面孔，嘈杂声震耳欲聋。”可知，第一段可描写作者在陌生环境中感到害怕和无助，不知道该去哪里，但最终在同桌Jane的帮助下找到了教室。 ②由第二段首句内容“午饭时，Jane和我与Dora在一张桌子旁坐下。”可知，第二段可描写作者在午餐时与朋友和同桌交流，逐渐感到舒适和自信，意识到高中并没有那么可怕。 2.续写线索： 害怕无助——寻找教室——得到帮助——找到座位——午餐交流——逐渐自信——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：clutch tightly/grasp firmly/hold tight ②.加入：join in/participate in/take part in ③.意识到：realize/become aware of/recognize 情绪类 ①.宽慰的：relieved/eased/comforted ②.紧张的：nervous/anxious/uneasy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Anita Nowinska found her long-lost box of pastels (蜡笔) while digging through a worn suitcase, using only a candle for light as her power was cut off. “By candlelight I created my first flower painting,” she recalls. “As I painted, I found the deep sadness and pain I was feeling disappeared. That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.” It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped (交换) paints for fast money. “It gave me a very nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment (招聘) business in the growing Internet sector, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble (互联网泡沫) burst, many of her clients were hit hard. Despite covering expenses with her own savings, her business ultimately sank. Today, she is known for her vast, immersive (沉浸式的) canvases of meadows (草地), wild grasses and flowers — paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. “I want the viewer to see what I see. That the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder.” She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight wind. Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. “Walking through the greenery is my meditation (冥想),” she says. “These days we call it mindfulness, but for me it’s just immersing myself in wonder.” Viewers seem to agree. One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita’s work for three hours, later admitting it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. “I can’t teach you how to paint,” she says. “I can only teach you how to look.” And her latest series, See Me I Bloom, carries that lesson into womanhood itself: “It’s about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, their wisdom, their determination. We create and nurture life — what could be more important?” 4. What can be known about Anita’s early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A. She received formal art education from a young age. B. Her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. C. She prioritized financial success over art from the beginning. D. Her artistic talent was recognized early but she faced obstacles. 5. How did Anita feel about her years in the recruitment business? A. Rewarding yet stressful. B. Empty and meaningless. C. Challenging yet enjoyable. D. Successful and content. 6. Why does Anita paint large canvases? A. To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. B. To showcase her unique pastel techniques. C. To create a sense of complete immersion in nature. D. To distract viewers from technical imperfections. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Road to Business: Anita’s Career Change B. Anita’s Art Story: How Painting Heals C. The Commercial Value of Nature Paintings D. From Financial Success to Artistic Failure C The idea that smiling can make you feel happier has a long history. In 1872, Darwin mused (沉思) about whether an emotion that was expressed would be felt more intensely than one that was repressed. Early psychologists were musing about it in the 1880s. More than a hundred studies have been published on the topic. And it’s a trope (比喻) of pop wisdom: “Smile, though your heart is aching,” sang Nat King Cole in 1954. “You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you’ll just smile.” In 2018, social psychologist Fritz Strack published a study that seemed to confirm that facial feedback was real. The researchers asked participants to hold a pen in their mouths in a position that forced them either to bare their teeth in a copy of a smile or to purse their lips around the pen. To make sure that no one was clued in to the researchers’ interest in smiles, the experimenters told participants that they were exploring how people with physical disabilities might write or perform other ordinary tasks. When both groups were shown a set of newspaper comics-specifically, illustrations from Gary Larson’s The Far Side-the teeth-barers rated the images as funnier than the lip-pursers did. This was a big deal for the facial feedback hypothesis (假设): Even though participants weren’t thinking about smiling or their mood, just moving their face into a smile-like shape seemed to affect their emotions. And so the finding made its way into psychology textbooks and countless news headlines. Decades of confirmation followed, as researchers published other experiments that also showed support for the facial feedback hypothesis. But in 2025, all at once, 17 labs failed to repeat the pen study. 8. What does the underlined word “repressed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Recognized. B. Appreciated. C. Controlled. D. Tolerated. 9. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Researchers didn’t show their facial feedback. B. Participants were confused about the experiment. C. Participants were physically disabled. D. Researchers didn’t share their true purpose. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the result of the experiment? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Objective. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Comics’ influence on people’s mood. B. The research process of facial feedback hypothesis. C. Darwin’s thoughts about expressed emotions. D. How to make yourself feel happier easily. D For years, sugar has been labeled a primary cause behind the global rise in diabetes (糖尿病), especially type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, groundbreaking research from Brigham Young University challenges this broad assumption. A large-scale study reveals a crucial detail: the source and form of sugar matter significantly when it comes to diabetes risk. The findings paint a contrasting picture. On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. On the other hand, sugars naturally present in or added to solid, nutrient-dense whole foods (such as whole fruits, dairy products, or whole grains) appeared to be far less harmful or potentially even protective. Why is there such a big difference? Researchers point to metabolism (新陈代谢). Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system. They cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar, overwhelming the liver. This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development. Conversely, sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream. The fiber, fat, protein, and other beneficial nutrients naturally accompanying the sugar in these whole foods act as buffers, reducing the glycemic (血糖的) impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded. The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice. Despite containing some vitamins, its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit. The vital fiber present in whole fruit, crucial for moderating blood sugar response, is largely missing in juice. “This study emphasizes the need for even stricter recommendations for liquid sugars such as those in sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice, as they appear to harmfully associate with metabolic health,” said Della Corte, one of the lead researchers. “Rather than criticizing all added sugars, future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form.” 12. Which form of sugar consumption brings a higher T2D risk? A. Sugar from whole grains and dairy products. B. Sugar naturally found in whole fruits. C. Sugar added to nutrient-dense solid foods. D. Sugar present in various liquid drinks. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reasons for sugar metabolism. B. The benefits of sugar metabolism. C. The differences in sugar metabolism. D. The significance of sugar metabolism. 14. To lower the risk of T2D, which practice is most likely supported by the study? A. Avoiding dairy products containing sugar. B. Replacing soda drinks with whole fruits. C. Increasing consumption of 100% fruit juice. D. Consuming as much fiber and fat as possible. 15. What can be inferred from Della Corte’s statement about future dietary guidelines? A. They should reconsider the impact of sugar on metabolism. B. They should remove fruit juice from recommendations. C. They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to sugar. D. They should criticize sugars regardless of different effects. 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。 We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging.

I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don’t know what I’m doing. I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I’d had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring. When Dora and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice. Although a lot of students might not laugh when I made a strange joke, they weren’t rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. After maths class, we needed to go to another classroom to have history class. 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。 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
