A. a shared B. a sharing C. to share a D. to sharing a 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这两位朋友交谈了数小时，并提出了一起环游世界的共同愿望。此处修饰名词wish需用形容词，shared作形容词表“共同的、共享的”；a shared wish为固定表达，意为“共同愿望”。 5. With pleasant flavors and scents, and ________ in a variety of colors, fruit and herbal teas make a nice change to traditional teas. A. comes B. coming C. has come D. came 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：花果茶口味怡人、香气宜人，且色彩丰富多样，与传统茶饮相比，别有一番风味。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语，动词come与逻辑主语fruit and herbal teas是主动关系，应使用现在分词形式。 6. In the banquet hall, where a wedding ________, some of the groom’s friends were busy welcoming the guests. A. will be held B. was holding C. was to be held D. had held 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在即将举办婚礼的宴会厅里，新郎的一些朋友正忙着迎接宾客。此处wedding与hold为被动关系，排除B、D；主句为一般过去时，空格表示过去将来的动作，be to do可表计划将要发生的事，所以谓语动词为was to be held。 7. We were testing various solutions when we ________ a simple but perfect one. A. hit upon B. came up C. met with D. occurred to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们正在测试各种解决方案，这时偶然发现了一个简单但完美的方案。A. hit upon表示“偶然发现；突然想到”，强调在尝试过程中意外找到解决方案或想法，符合语境；B. came up表示“出现；被提出”，通常作不及物动词短语，若要表示“提出想法”，需搭配with，即came up with，单独使用不符合语法，排除；C. met with表示“遇到；遭受”，通常用于描述遇到困难、反对等，如met with difficulties，不符合“找到解决方案”的语境，排除；D. occurred to表示“被想到；出现在脑海中”，主语通常是想法或主意，如It occurred to me that...，不能以we作主语，排除。句子前半部分We were testing various solutions和后半部分a simple but perfect one，说明句子要表达的是“在测试过程中偶然发现了完美方案”，hit upon最能体现这种“意外发现”的过程，符合语境。 8. The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time ________ it is in serious trouble. A. since B. when C. if D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：解开帝王蝶能力之谜的答案，恰恰是在其面临严重困境之时出现的。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词time是时间，因此用关系副词when引导定语从句。 9. Some exercises appear to be ________ ones that you have done, but after taking ________ second look, you will find that they are different. A. /; the B. the; the C. the; a D. /; a 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：有些练习题看似是你做过的那些题目，但再看一眼，你就会发现它们并不一样。第一空特指“你做过的题目”，用定冠词the；第二空a second look为固定搭配，表示“再看一眼”。 10. He was about to tell me the secret ________ someone patted him on the shoulder. A. as B. until C. while D. when 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：他正要告诉我那个秘密，这时有人拍了拍他的肩膀。be about to do... when...“正要……，这时……”为固定句型，用来表示某人正准备做某事时，这时突然发生了另一件事，此处的when是并列连词的用法，相当于and then，故选D。 11. We spotted a small boat ________ as the sun began to set. A. at a distance B. in the distance C. from the distance D. by a distance 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当太阳开始西沉时，我们远远地看到了一艘小船。A. at a distance有一些距离；B. in the distance在远处；C. from the distance从远处；D. by a distance以显著差距。由We spotted a small boat可知，此处表示“那艘船在远处”，空格处意为“在远处”。 12.

A. brave the elements B. have a frog in their throat C. kill two birds with one stone D. throw the baby out with the bathwater 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应保留传统教育的优势同时接纳创新，我们切忌不分好坏全盘否定。A. brave the elements不畏恶劣天气；B. have a frog in their throat喉咙发紧、声音嘶哑；C. kill two birds with one stone一石二鸟；D. throw the baby out with the bathwater不分良莠全盘抛弃。根据前文“We should keep the advantages of traditional education”可知，我们要保留优势、接纳创新，所以，不能盲目舍弃原有事物。 13.

A. by which B. to which C. in that D. so that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管很多人将规则视作束缚，但我们依旧需要它们，以便维持秩序、保护弱势群体。结合句意，此处引导目的状语从句，so that意为“以便；为了”，符合语境。 14.

A. didn’t receive B. haven’t received C. don’t receive D. am not receiving 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：大约一个月前我索要了贵酒店的宣传册，但至今仍未收到。receive(收到)作分句谓语，yet为现在完成时标志词，表迄今为止未发生的动作，用现在完成时态。 15.

Less than five percent of turquoise mined worldwide can be set into jewelry.(如今，最稀有、最有价值的绿松石出现在美国西南部，但这种蓝色美石的未来尚不明朗。全世界开采的绿松石中，只有不到5%可以镶嵌在珠宝上。)”可知，第一段通过描述绿松石的稀有性和价值，以及其未来的不确定性，来引起读者对绿松石价值的兴趣。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据下文“Arizona turquoise/Silver-finished frame(Sedona绿松石系列)”、“Sedona Turquoise Collection(亚利桑那绿松石/镀银框架)”以及后面列出的项链吊坠、银链、耳环和整套珠宝的价格可知，这一部分是关于珠宝的详细信息，包括价格等。因此，选项C“珠宝详情”最符合语境。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据Claim your offer:部分中“Call now and mention the offer code to receive your collection.(现在打电话，并提及优惠代码，即可收到您的收藏品。)”、“Tel: 1-800-333-2045 Offer Code: STC 742-09 (电话:1-800-333-2045优惠代码：STC 742-09)”、“You must use the offer code to get our special price.(您必须使用优惠代码才能获得我们的特价。)”可知，要获得特价，需要打电话并使用优惠代码。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是最后一段“Call now and mention the offer code to receive your collection.(现在打电话，并提及优惠代码，即可收到您的收藏品。)”以及列出的珠宝价格和优惠信息可知，这篇文章是一则购物广告。 B After 84 days without catching a single fish, an old fisherman, Santiago, sails far out to sea without his devoted Manolin. The fish he eventually catches is so big that it pulls the boat for two whole days and nights. Despite being wounded and exhausted, Santiago battles to hold the line that holds the fish. On the third day, the fish finally tires, allowing Santiago to kill it with harpoon (鱼叉). But the blood from the fish attracts sharks, which Santiago bravely fights throughout the day and night. Although he succeeds in killing some of the sharks, yet more of these predators appear. The shark closed fast and its head was out of water and the old man could hear the noise of flesh ripping (撕裂、划破) on the big fish when the old-man rammed (猛扎) the harpoon down onto the shark’s head at a spot where the line between his eyes intersected with the line that ran straight back from his nose. There were no such lines. But that was the location of the brain and the old man hit it. He hit it with all his strength. He hit it without hope but with resolution and determined hostility. The shark swung over and the old man saw his eye was not alive and knew that he was dead. “He took about forty pounds,” the old man said aloud. He took my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again and there will be more sharks. He did not like to look at the fish anymore since he had been - mutilated (残缺不全). When the fish had been hit it was as though he himself were hit. “But I killed the shark that hit my fish,” he thought. And he was the biggest dentuso that I have ever seen. “It was too good to last,” he thought. “I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers.” But man is not made for defeat, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon. The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent. But I was more intelligent than he was. Perhaps not, he thought. Perhaps I was only better armed. “Don’t think, old man,” he said aloud. “Sail on this course and take it when it comes.” But I must think, “Think about something cheerful, old man,” he said. “Every minute now you are closer to home. You sail lighter for the loss of forty pounds.” “Now,” he said. “I am still an old man. But I am not unarmed.” The breeze was fresh now and he sailed on well. He watched only the forward part of the fish and some of his hope returned. (Excerpt from The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway) 41. Why did sharks come to attack the big fish? A. Because the old man hit the shark on its head. B. Because the blood from the fish drew sharks. C. Because the sharks were following the boat for days. D. Because the big fish made loud noises in the water. 42. In the underlined part “I wish it had been a dream...”, “it” refers to ________ A. the catching of fish and fighting sharks B. his sailing far out to the sea alone C. the loss of his harpoon to the sharks D. the tiredness and wounds on his hands 43. What made the old man regain some hope? A. He thought the sharks would not return. B. He found that the fish was still in good condition. C. He believed he would meet other fishermen soon. D. His believed he could sail on and return home safely 44. What message does the passage convey? A. Man should give up in time when facing danger. B. Fishermen should not sail far out to sea alone. C. True man stays positive and never gives in. D. Complaining only makes things worse. 45. What can we infer about Santiago from the passage? A. He is a determined and strong-minded person. B. He is a persistent but inexperienced fisherman. C. He is not physically strong but a brave man. D. He is not only sympathetic but optimistic. 46. Why did the old man regret hooking the fish at one time? ① Because the shark he killed was the smartest in the world. ② The fish was torn by sharks and the gain was not satisfying. ③ He regretted going out to sea alone without any helper. ④ He was almost in despair and exhaustion. ⑤ He has lost his harpoon and the rope. ⑥ He knew more danger was coming. A. ②③⑥ B. ①④⑤ C. ①③④ D. ②⑤⑥ 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. A 46. D 【解析】 【导语】章主要讲述了老渔夫圣地亚哥捕获大鱼后与鲨鱼搏斗的过程。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But the blood from the fish attracts sharks, which Santiago bravely fights throughout the day and night.(但是鱼的血吸引了鲨鱼，圣地亚哥整日整夜勇敢地与鲨鱼搏斗。)”可知，鲨鱼是被鱼的血吸引过来的。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段““But I killed the shark that hit my fish,” he thought. And he was the biggest dentuso that I have ever seen.(“但我杀死了袭击大鱼的那条鲨鱼。” 他心想。那是我见过最大的灰鲭鲨。)”和第五段中“I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers.(我希望现在it只是一场梦，我从来没有钓到过这条鱼，而是独自躺在报纸铺成的床上。)”可知，圣地亚哥希望捕鱼和与鲨鱼搏斗是一场梦，由此可推测出“it”指的是捕鱼和与鲨鱼搏斗。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The breeze was fresh now and he sailed on well. He watched only the forward part of the fish and some of his hope returned.(现在微风清新，他航行得很好。他只看着鱼的前部，他的希望又回来了。)”以及倒数第二段他对自己说的话““Now,” he said. “I am still an old man. But I am not unarmed.”(“现在，”他说。“我还是个老人。但我并非手无寸铁。”)”可知，老人相信自己能够继续航行并安全回家，这让他重新燃起了一些希望。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“But man is not made for defeat, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.(但人不是为失败而生的，他说。一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。)”可知，文章主要讲述了老渔夫圣地亚哥捕获大鱼后与鲨鱼搏斗的过程，尽管最终鱼被鲨鱼吃掉了，但他从未放弃，由此可知，文章传达了真正的男人保持积极，永不屈服的信息。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He hit it with all his strength. He hit it without hope but with resolution and determined hostility.(他用尽全力打它。他毫无希望地打它，但却带着决心和坚定的敌意。)”以及第五段中“But man is not made for defeat, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.(但人不是为失败而生的，他说。一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。)”可知，圣地亚哥是一个意志坚定、坚强的人。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon. The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent.(不过，我很遗憾我杀了这条鱼，他想。现在坏日子来了，我甚至没有鱼叉。这条鲨鱼既残忍又能干，强壮又聪明。)”以及第六段中“You sail lighter for the loss of forty pounds.(由于减重了四十磅，你航行得更轻快了。)”可知，老人后悔钓到这条鱼是因为鱼被鲨鱼撕咬，收获并不令人满意，而且他已经失去了鱼叉和绳子，并且他知道更多的危险即将来临。由此可知，②⑤⑥符合题意。 C Imagine yourself sitting down to have a cheese sandwich for breakfast. You’re picking it up to take your first bite, when all of a sudden you see a face in the toast. This is how Diane Duyser started one of her days back in 1994. This cheese sandwich ended up being sold for $28,000 because Duyser was able to market it as having “mystical (神秘的)powers.” However, cognitive psychology (认知心理学) would reveal that the true power at work in this story is pareidolia (空想性错视). Pareidolia is the tendency to perceive an entity (实体) in a random object like a cloud, a mountain, or the wallpaper in your bedroom. Face Pareidolia can be specially defined as seeing face-like features in everyday objects. From banana peels to car headlights people find faces in all kinds of unexpected places. But how and why does this happen? According to Dr. Colin Palmer from the University of New South Wales, face perception is involved in understanding face pareidolia. Dr. Palmer is the lead researcher of a new study published in the journal Psychological Science. The likely reason behind this is that the brain is quick to recognize basic features that describe a human face. But face perception also includes the ability to recognize who the person is, and to read information from their face. Dr. Palmer said that these associations depend on parts of the brain that specialize in extracting (提取) this information from what the person sees. Are the mechanisms (机制) used in extracting this information in identifying a real human face also the same when a person experiences face pareidolia? Dr. Palmer and his colleagues tried to determine this. They found that repeated exposure to pareidolia faces that conveyed a specific direction of attention (for example, objects that appeared to be looking towards the left) influenced how a person perceives an object. That means the feeling of pareidolia “may be because the features of the object are activating related mechanisms in your brain,” the researchers said. In other words, the human brain processes the “fake” face the same way it processes real faces. Studies have shown that face pareidolia has also been observed among monkeys. According to Dr. Palmer, face pareidolia might be a product inherited from the primates (灵长类动物). So if a person evolved to be excellent in identifying faces, it may lead to his seeing fake faces. Dr. Palmer said their research could help scientists better understand cognitive disorders relating to facial recognition. These include prosopagnosia (脸盲症) and autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障碍), in which those affected could have difficulty processing information from the faces of other people. 47. What is face pareidolia according to the passage? A. The ability to recognize real human faces quickly. B. The tendency to see face-like features in ordinary objects. C. A cognitive disorder that affects facial recognition. D. A mystical power that makes objects look like human faces. 48. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To tell a funny story about a cheese sandwich. B. To introduce the concept of pareidolia with a real example. C. To explain why Diane Duyser sold her sandwich at a high price. D. To show the importance of cognitive psychology in daily life. 49. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Mystical powers are the key to understanding unusual visual phenomena. B. Dr. Palmer’s research investigates how the brain processes both real and fake faces. C. Pareidolia is explained through research on brain mechanisms related to face perception. D. Face pareidolia can help scientists study cognitive disorders like prosopagnosia. 50. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Only humans have the ability to experience face pareidolia. B. The brain processes “fake” faces differently from real faces. C. Face pareidolia may be a result of human evolution. D. Dr. Palmer’s research has cured people with prosopagnosia. 【答案】47. B 48. B 49. C 50. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了空想性错视现象通过与面部感知相关的大脑机制研究得到解释。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Face Pareidolia can be specially defined as seeing face-like features in everyday objects.(空想性错视脸可特别定义为在日常物品中看到类似脸的特征。)”可知，空想性错视脸是在普通物体中看到类似脸的特征的倾向。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine yourself sitting down to have a cheese sandwich for breakfast. You’re picking it up to take your first bite, when all of a sudden you see a face in the toast. This is how Diane Duyser started one of her days back in 1994. This cheese sandwich ended up being sold for $28,000 because Duyser was able to market it as having “mystical (神秘的)powers.” However, cognitive psychology (认知心理学) would reveal that the true power at work in this story is pareidolia (空想性错视).(试想你坐下来，准备早餐吃一份芝士三明治。正当你拿起三明治准备咬下第一口时，忽然发现吐司上浮现出一张人脸。1994年，黛安・杜伊瑟的一天，就是这样开启的。这份芝士三明治最终卖出了28000美元，只因杜伊瑟将其炒作成拥有 “神秘力量” 的物品。然而，认知心理学揭示，这件事背后真正起作用的，其实是空想性错视。)”可知，第一段通过一个真实例子介绍了空想性错视的概念。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“According to Dr. Palmer, face pareidolia might be a product inherited from the primates (灵长类动物).(根据新南威尔士大学的科林·帕尔默博士的说法，面部感知与理解空想性错视脸有关。)”可知，文章主要讲述了空想性错视现象通过与面部感知相关的大脑机制研究得到了解释。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“According to Dr. Palmer, face pareidolia might be a product inherited from the primates (灵长类动物).(根据帕尔默博士的说法，空想性错视脸可能是从灵长类动物那里继承来的产物。)”可知，空想性错视脸可能是人类进化的结果。 D In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment. At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial. Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being. Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance. In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities. 51. What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. An effective solution. B. A harmful result. C. A social trend. D. A mental disease. 52. According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A. The release of endorphins that improve mood. B. The significant improvement of social fairness. C. The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D. The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. 53. What is the main idea of the essay? A. Individualism is the root cause of societal problems. B. Altruism is the only solution to mental health issues. C. Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways. D. Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated. 54. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B. By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C. By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D. By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 55. Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A. People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B. Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C. Being kind would have significant impact on health. D. Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. 【答案】51. A 52. A 53. C 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了利他主义行为在多个方面对个人和社区的益处。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation.(在一个日益个人主义的世界里，给予的行为——无论是时间、资源还是技能——都是对抗社会孤立的antidote。)”可知，在日益个人主义的世界里，给予的行为是对抗社会孤立的有力解药，由此可推测出antidote意为“有效的解决办法”。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness.(行善会触发内啡肽的释放，即所谓的“助人高潮”，这可以改善情绪，促进幸福感。)”可知，行善会触发内啡肽的释放，从而改善情绪，这是行善的直接和即时结果。 【53题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment.(本文探讨了利他主义的多方面益处，强调了其在培养社区纽带和促进个人成就感方面的作用。)”可知，本文主要讲述了利他主义行为在多个方面对个人和社区的益处。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment.(本文探讨了利他主义的多方面益处，强调了其在培养社区纽带和促进个人成就感方面的作用。)”以及第二段的首句“At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection.(自愿参与的核心是人类对联系的自然渴望。)”、第三段的首句“Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health.(此外，利他主义已被证明对个人的心理健康有显著贡献。)”、“Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships.(此外，善举培养同理心和内在力量，这是维持人际关系所必需的特质。)”可知，文章先提出一个论点，即利他主义在培养社区纽带和促进个人成就感方面起着重要作用，然后用三个论据来支持这一论点，分别是自愿参与的核心是人类对联系的自然渴望、利他主义对个人的心理健康有显著贡献、善举培养同理心和内在力量。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction.(行善会触发内啡肽的释放，即所谓的“助人高潮”，这可以改善情绪，促进幸福感。《幸福研究杂志》的研究表明，经常参加志愿工作的人患抑郁症和焦虑症的几率较低，从而全面提高了生活满意度。)”可知，行善可以触发内啡肽的释放，改善情绪，促进幸福感，经常参加志愿工作的人患抑郁症和焦虑症的几率较低，由此可推测出，善良对健康有显著影响。 第II卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 For a year after my multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) diagnosis, I navigated life from a wheelchair, adapting to profound changes. I trained myself to accept new limits, giving up my demanding hospital job and learning to rely on help from my husband, children, and friends. While the wheelchair brought a degree of independence, a deeper restlessness grew within me — a longing for the spontaneous, adventurous spirit that had defined my life before illness. I longed to seize a moment of pure joy again. One night, I quietly wished for a sign, a direction toward something that could bring back that spark. Soon after, returning from my daughter’s concert, a large roadside advertisement for tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) caught my eye. An immediate sense of certainty washed over me. Despite my family’s worried reactions, I contacted the company and scheduled the jump. On a perfect day, my family waited below. After the safety briefing in the hangar (停机坪), I boarded the small aircraft calmly alongside others. As we climbed with the open door, the thrilling rush of wind filled me with anticipation. When it was my turn, my partner and I moved to the open doorway, our feet dangling over the edge. With a final countdown, we pushed off into the sky. The initial rapid fall took my breath away, followed by an immense, peaceful silence as the parachute opened. Gliding through the air, I felt a profound sense of liberation and lightness I had not experienced in years. Touching down gently, I was met with cheers and embraces. The celebration at the hangar was filled with shared excitement and relief. Weeks later, when the professional photos arrived, we gathered to look through them. As I described each thrilling moment, I noticed a familiar face in nearly every picture — the kind skydiver who had driven me back up the hill after landing. Unaware at the time, I realized he had been quietly present throughout the entire experience, a watchful and reassuring presence from takeoff to touchdown. This adventure restored my perspective. Choosing courage over caution, and discovering seen and unseen support, I reclaimed a part of my lost life. I learned that great limitation can lead to unexpected, soaring freedom. 56. What limits did the author face after being diagnosed with illness? (no more than 10 words) 57. According to the passage, what does the spark refer to in Paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the word “dangling” mean in the passage? (no more than 1 word) ______________________________________________________________________ 59. Why did the familiar face in photos leave a deep impression on the author? (no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 60. What message does the author want to convey through her experience of skydiving?(no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She navigated her life from a wheelchair. 57. It refers to the spontaneous, adventurous spirit. 58. Hanging/Swinging. 59. Because he made her aware of discovering seen and unseen support all the way. 60. Great limitations can lead to unexpected, soaring freedom. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者身患疾病行动受限，勇敢挑战双人跳伞，重获生活力量，并感悟到局限与自由、默默陪伴的人生道理。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“For a year after my multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) diagnosis, I navigated life from a wheelchair, adapting to profound changes.(在确诊多发性硬化症后的一年里，我依靠轮椅生活，适应着巨大的变化)”可知，作者患病之后需要依靠轮椅生活，面临诸多生活限制。 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第一段中“While the wheelchair brought a degree of independence, a deeper restlessness grew within me — a longing for the spontaneous, adventurous spirit that had defined my life before illness. I longed to seize a moment of pure joy again. (虽然轮椅带来了一定程度的独立，但我的内心却愈发焦躁不安——我无比怀念患病前，那种随性自在、热爱冒险的生活状态。我渴望再次拥有纯粹快乐的瞬间。)”以及第二段中“I quietly wished for a sign, a direction toward something that could bring back that spark.(我默默期盼一个指引，希望找回那份火花)”可知，作者渴望找回曾经随性、爱冒险的生活精神。spark指的是“随性、爱冒险的生活精神”。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段中“When it was my turn, my partner and I moved to the open doorway, our feet dangling over the edge.(轮到我时，我和搭档走到敞开的机舱门口，双脚垂在边缘外侧)”结合前文身处飞机舱门的语境，双脚在高空边缘悬空下垂，由此推断画线单词意为“悬挂、垂吊”。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段中“I realized he had been quietly present throughout the entire experience, a watchful and reassuring presence from takeoff to touchdown.(我意识到他全程默默陪伴，从起飞到落地一直给予我安心的守护)”可知，这位陌生跳伞者全程安静的陪伴与守护，让作者意识到生活中随处可见有形与无形的支持。 【60题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中“I learned that great limitation can lead to unexpected, soaring freedom.(我明白了巨大的局限也能带来意想不到、肆意翱翔的自由)”可知，作者本次跳伞经历想要传达的核心道理是巨大的局限也能带来意想不到、肆意翱翔的自由。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。你校英语公众号“Tianjin Stories”正在征集稿件，主题为“Hands That Speak History”（会说话的手）。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1．结合天津地域的特色，阐述手工技艺如何“讲述历史”（如泥人张彩塑、杨柳青年画等）； 2．向大家推荐纪录片《Master of Time》，简单说明该片能使我们了解中国工匠的专注与坚守； 3．你对待这些“慢手艺”的态度。 参考词汇：泥人张 Clay Figure Zhang 杨柳青年画 Yangliuqing New Year Woodprints 注意： 1．词数不少于100； 2．可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3．开头以给出，不计入字数。 I’m honored to contribute to “Tianjin Stories” with the theme “Hands That Speak History”. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I’m honored to contribute to “Tianjin Stories” with the theme “Hands That Speak History”.

It was one of those autumn days people anticipate in a sticky summer. The scenery along the way was ____16____. Trees filled in the shade card (配色样) between light green and dark reddish brown, with birds ____17____ overhead. I realized what motivated people to ____18____ the race to live more rurally. After a few wet weeks in London, autumn just seemed better out here. I’ve spent the past 15 years living in cities where I feel most at home and comfortable. Yet even in cities, I have found that nature is something I ____19____ with daily. Before I moved to Brixton, we lived in a flat surrounded by a small woodland. There was a dawn chorus so loud that waking up at 5 a.m. was ____20____. Watching the birds-breakfasting of the blue tits or the darting (窜上窜下) of the nuthatch-became a soap opera I was deeply ____21____. In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic and the loud music from nearby bars. Cities aren’t, traditionally, strongholds of naturalism. It was always true from William Blake’s dark mills (磨坊) to contemporary ____22____ that found 11 million people in England, almost entirely in ____23____ areas, have to walk at least ten minutes to find green space. Now standing in that new garden in Brixton, ____24____ the birdsong, I knew that made sense. And I knew nature was there — I just needed to ____25____ it. It took me a while to make finding it an active practice. Then I found it on a balcony, four north-facing storeys up on a hill in Camberwell. The balcony had a good ____26____: all of London’s shining buildings beneath high skies whose colors and clouds ____27____ by the minute. It was so small that you had to look ____28____. It is a (n) essential part of enjoying nature, ____29____ you find it. To be out on the balcony allowed me to ____30____ into things that were bigger than my career, my relationship or my very sense of self. Somehow city nature seems to be even more vital and beautiful than it is in the countryside. Honey made by London bees tastes delicious because there are so many different flowers to ____31____. Every plant here arrived with a story. Wild ivy (常春藤) climbs freely over ____32____ walls and broken fences. Its tiny seeds are carried far and ____33____ by the wind stirred up (激起, 挑起) by passing vehicles. Autumn did ____34____ in London in the end. A few weeks after Somerset, I saw the red maple leaves in a street. As I cycled through Burgess Park under pink skies, I saw dogs surrounded by mist. And one morning, looking out at the garden, I saw birds there: two blackbirds, a sparrow and a couple of robins. Our nature here is ____35____, but no less beautiful. 16.

This text is most probably taken from ________ A. a research paper B. a shopping advertisement C. a news report D. a travel magazine B After 84 days without catching a single fish, an old fisherman, Santiago, sails far out to sea without his devoted Manolin. The fish he eventually catches is so big that it pulls the boat for two whole days and nights. Despite being wounded and exhausted, Santiago battles to hold the line that holds the fish. On the third day, the fish finally tires, allowing Santiago to kill it with harpoon (鱼叉). But the blood from the fish attracts sharks, which Santiago bravely fights throughout the day and night. Although he succeeds in killing some of the sharks, yet more of these predators appear. The shark closed fast and its head was out of water and the old man could hear the noise of flesh ripping (撕裂、划破) on the big fish when the old-man rammed (猛扎) the harpoon down onto the shark’s head at a spot where the line between his eyes intersected with the line that ran straight back from his nose. There were no such lines. But that was the location of the brain and the old man hit it. He hit it with all his strength. He hit it without hope but with resolution and determined hostility. The shark swung over and the old man saw his eye was not alive and knew that he was dead. “He took about forty pounds,” the old man said aloud. He took my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again and there will be more sharks. He did not like to look at the fish anymore since he had been - mutilated (残缺不全). When the fish had been hit it was as though he himself were hit. “But I killed the shark that hit my fish,” he thought. And he was the biggest dentuso that I have ever seen. “It was too good to last,” he thought. “I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers.” But man is not made for defeat, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon. The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent. But I was more intelligent than he was. Perhaps not, he thought. Perhaps I was only better armed. “Don’t think, old man,” he said aloud. “Sail on this course and take it when it comes.” But I must think, “Think about something cheerful, old man,” he said. “Every minute now you are closer to home. You sail lighter for the loss of forty pounds.” “Now,” he said. “I am still an old man. But I am not unarmed.” The breeze was fresh now and he sailed on well. He watched only the forward part of the fish and some of his hope returned. (Excerpt from The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway) 41. Why did sharks come to attack the big fish? A. Because the old man hit the shark on its head. B. Because the blood from the fish drew sharks. C. Because the sharks were following the boat for days. D. Because the big fish made loud noises in the water. 42. In the underlined part “I wish it had been a dream...”, “it” refers to ________ A. the catching of fish and fighting sharks B. his sailing far out to the sea alone C. the loss of his harpoon to the sharks D. the tiredness and wounds on his hands 43. What made the old man regain some hope? A. He thought the sharks would not return. B. He found that the fish was still in good condition. C. He believed he would meet other fishermen soon. D. His believed he could sail on and return home safely 44. What message does the passage convey? A. Man should give up in time when facing danger. B. Fishermen should not sail far out to sea alone. C. True man stays positive and never gives in. D. Complaining only makes things worse. 45. What can we infer about Santiago from the passage? A. He is a determined and strong-minded person. B. He is a persistent but inexperienced fisherman. C. He is not physically strong but a brave man. D. He is not only sympathetic but optimistic. 46. Why did the old man regret hooking the fish at one time? ① Because the shark he killed was the smartest in the world. ② The fish was torn by sharks and the gain was not satisfying. ③ He regretted going out to sea alone without any helper. ④ He was almost in despair and exhaustion. ⑤ He has lost his harpoon and the rope. ⑥ He knew more danger was coming. A. ②③⑥ B. ①④⑤ C. ①③④ D. ②⑤⑥ C Imagine yourself sitting down to have a cheese sandwich for breakfast. You’re picking it up to take your first bite, when all of a sudden you see a face in the toast. This is how Diane Duyser started one of her days back in 1994. This cheese sandwich ended up being sold for $28,000 because Duyser was able to market it as having “mystical (神秘的)powers.” However, cognitive psychology (认知心理学) would reveal that the true power at work in this story is pareidolia (空想性错视). Pareidolia is the tendency to perceive an entity (实体) in a random object like a cloud, a mountain, or the wallpaper in your bedroom. Face Pareidolia can be specially defined as seeing face-like features in everyday objects. From banana peels to car headlights people find faces in all kinds of unexpected places. But how and why does this happen? According to Dr. Colin Palmer from the University of New South Wales, face perception is involved in understanding face pareidolia. Dr. Palmer is the lead researcher of a new study published in the journal Psychological Science. The likely reason behind this is that the brain is quick to recognize basic features that describe a human face. But face perception also includes the ability to recognize who the person is, and to read information from their face. Dr. Palmer said that these associations depend on parts of the brain that specialize in extracting (提取) this information from what the person sees. Are the mechanisms (机制) used in extracting this information in identifying a real human face also the same when a person experiences face pareidolia? Dr. Palmer and his colleagues tried to determine this. They found that repeated exposure to pareidolia faces that conveyed a specific direction of attention (for example, objects that appeared to be looking towards the left) influenced how a person perceives an object. That means the feeling of pareidolia “may be because the features of the object are activating related mechanisms in your brain,” the researchers said. In other words, the human brain processes the “fake” face the same way it processes real faces. Studies have shown that face pareidolia has also been observed among monkeys. According to Dr. Palmer, face pareidolia might be a product inherited from the primates (灵长类动物). So if a person evolved to be excellent in identifying faces, it may lead to his seeing fake faces. Dr. Palmer said their research could help scientists better understand cognitive disorders relating to facial recognition. These include prosopagnosia (脸盲症) and autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障碍), in which those affected could have difficulty processing information from the faces of other people. 47. What is face pareidolia according to the passage? A. The ability to recognize real human faces quickly. B. The tendency to see face-like features in ordinary objects. C. A cognitive disorder that affects facial recognition. D. A mystical power that makes objects look like human faces. 48. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To tell a funny story about a cheese sandwich. B. To introduce the concept of pareidolia with a real example. C. To explain why Diane Duyser sold her sandwich at a high price. D. To show the importance of cognitive psychology in daily life. 49. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Mystical powers are the key to understanding unusual visual phenomena. B. Dr. Palmer’s research investigates how the brain processes both real and fake faces. C. Pareidolia is explained through research on brain mechanisms related to face perception. D. Face pareidolia can help scientists study cognitive disorders like prosopagnosia. 50. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Only humans have the ability to experience face pareidolia. B. The brain processes “fake” faces differently from real faces. C. Face pareidolia may be a result of human evolution. D. Dr. Palmer’s research has cured people with prosopagnosia. D In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment. At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial. Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being. Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance. In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities. 51. What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. An effective solution. B. A harmful result. C. A social trend. D. A mental disease. 52. According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A. The release of endorphins that improve mood. B. The significant improvement of social fairness. C. The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D. The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. 53. What is the main idea of the essay? A. Individualism is the root cause of societal problems. B. Altruism is the only solution to mental health issues. C. Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways. D. Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated. 54. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B. By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C. By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D. By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 55. Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A. People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B. Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C. Being kind would have significant impact on health. D. Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. 第II卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 For a year after my multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) diagnosis, I navigated life from a wheelchair, adapting to profound changes. I trained myself to accept new limits, giving up my demanding hospital job and learning to rely on help from my husband, children, and friends. While the wheelchair brought a degree of independence, a deeper restlessness grew within me — a longing for the spontaneous, adventurous spirit that had defined my life before illness. I longed to seize a moment of pure joy again. One night, I quietly wished for a sign, a direction toward something that could bring back that spark. Soon after, returning from my daughter’s concert, a large roadside advertisement for tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) caught my eye. An immediate sense of certainty washed over me. Despite my family’s worried reactions, I contacted the company and scheduled the jump. On a perfect day, my family waited below. After the safety briefing in the hangar (停机坪), I boarded the small aircraft calmly alongside others. As we climbed with the open door, the thrilling rush of wind filled me with anticipation. When it was my turn, my partner and I moved to the open doorway, our feet dangling over the edge. With a final countdown, we pushed off into the sky. The initial rapid fall took my breath away, followed by an immense, peaceful silence as the parachute opened. Gliding through the air, I felt a profound sense of liberation and lightness I had not experienced in years. Touching down gently, I was met with cheers and embraces. The celebration at the hangar was filled with shared excitement and relief. Weeks later, when the professional photos arrived, we gathered to look through them. As I described each thrilling moment, I noticed a familiar face in nearly every picture — the kind skydiver who had driven me back up the hill after landing. Unaware at the time, I realized he had been quietly present throughout the entire experience, a watchful and reassuring presence from takeoff to touchdown. This adventure restored my perspective. Choosing courage over caution, and discovering seen and unseen support, I reclaimed a part of my lost life. I learned that great limitation can lead to unexpected, soaring freedom. 56.
