B At 27,as a new mother,I had been wrestling with stress and worry,which led me to explore acupuncture.A friend's firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session.I chose Ora,a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020,drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff.Though the cost-$130 for an initial 65-minute session-was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being. Before the appointment,I researched how to prepare:eating a meal to stabilize blood G sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation.Upon arriving at Ora,I was struck by the calming atmosphere.After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist,Sian James,who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns,I changed into a towel and lay down.James checked my tongue,noting its red tip as a sign of stress,and explained how it guided her needle placement. She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead,wrists,chest,knees,and feet.The slight pain was tolerable,and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress.Once the needles were in place,I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music.Initially tense,I eventually relaxed,drifting into a quiet state-deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles,I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day.She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects.While the calmness faded by Monday morning,the experience was impactful.Acupuncture forced me to pause,breathe, and disconnect from life's pressures. Though not a cure-all,acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress.As a person who struggled to unwind,I found it incredibly effective,and now,I plan to incorporate it into my routine.It's a reminder to prioritize self-care.Otherwise,I couldn't handle my busy work and daily life. 24.Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A.Because of a sports injury. B.Because of emotional anxiety. C.Because of financial investment. D.Because of a firm's recommendation. 25.What can be inferred about the acupuncturist's treatment approach? A.It relied on surroundings over needles. B.It used finger pressure instead of needles. C.It combined examination with assessment. D.It prioritized observation over communication. 【高二英语¤第4页（共10页）】 26.How did the author feel after having acupuncture? A.Tired. B.Pressured. C.Cautious. D.Peaceful. 27.What does the author learn from her experience? A.Rome wasn't built in a day. B.Busy hands make a happy heart. C.You can't pour from an empty cup. D.A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. C Climate-driving migration (is often viewed as a modern crisis,but history tells a different story.An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Basel has shown that large-scale environmental instability shaped societies more than a thousand year: 弥 ago. Their study examined how severe hydrological(水文学的)extremes such as prolonged droughts and destructive floods in the late Tang Dynasty influenced political stability ir China.The research focused on northern China,particularly the region surrounding the Yellow River,an area central to agriculture,transportation,and political power. To understand how the climate shifted during this critical period,scientists turned to natural archives ()-tree rings.In wetter years,sufficient rainfall allows trees to grow more quickly,producing wider rings.In dry years,growth slows,leaving narrower rings. The longer a tree lives,the further back this environmental record extends,offering a detailed 封 timeline of past climate conditions.The team relied on long-term tree ring datasets from the Yellow River basin to reconstruct historical runoff (patterns,which directly affected farming. Their findings revealed that a rise in severe weather events played a part in the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907 CE.More frequent droughts and floods placed intense pressure on the soldiers responsible for defending the frontiers,as well as on their families.Crop failures became common due to extreme weather.With shortages mounting,supply routes collapsing,and hunger spreading,many people migrated south in search of better conditions, leading to political destabilization and contributing to the Tang Dynasty's fall. However,the study's first author Michael Kempf emphasizes,"Our results are 线 approximations ()The actual conditions at that time cannot be reconstructed with certainty.It's a complex interplay of many different factors."The study concluded that environmental phenomena and their consequences can disrupt social structures and destabilize political systems.This is a development that could occur more frequently in view of climate change today. 28.What is the main purpose of the study? A.To link climate change to political changes. B.To predict the potential new climate crises. C.To question tree rings for climate research. D.To analyse the reason for ancient migration. 【高二英语¤第5页（共10页）】 29.How did the researchers get climate data of the Tang Dynasty? A.By studying ancient trees'growth patterns. B.By surveying the ancient migration routes. C.By analyzing official historical documents. D.By examining the remains of ancient crops. 30.What did the research find about the role of climate in the late Tang Dynasty? A.It was the major reason for the dynasty's collapse. B.It physically destroyed most of its frontier defence. C.It directly resulted in the weakening of the dynasty. D.It set off a chain of events causing the dynasty's fall. 31.What does Michael Kempf think of the findings? A.They overstate environmental roles. B.They are estimates and require care. C.They ignore Tang's social structures.D.They are accurate and widely applicable. D In an age dominated by digital media and rapidly advancing technology,online platforms now provide instant access to vast amounts of content,making information readily available at the click of a button.Despite this digital convenience,reading books in printed form remains fundamental and irreplaceable. Reading printed books is far from a diminishing practice as it offers several advantages over digital formats.Reading printed materials is associated with health benefits,including reduced eye strain and improved sleep patterns compared to prolonged screen use.Research and experience alike show that reading from paper reduces digital distractions such as notifications,hyperlinks,and screen glare,allowing readers to focus more deeply on the content.This sustained attention helps readers better understand narratives and concepts and enhances long-term memory. It is important to acknowledge that modern technology has revolutionized how people read.E-books and online learning platforms have made countless written works accessible to a broader audience,including those who may not easily access physical libraries.While some readers still cherish the tangible feel of turning pages,others appreciate the convenience of digital formats. Nevertheless,the continued demand for printed books demonstrates that physical reading materials still hold great value.Online vendors now make it easier than ever to purchase new or second-hand books,which can be delivered directly to readers'homes.Libraries also continue to play a vital role in promoting reading culture.Although many readers physically visit libraries,online catalogues (have become essential tools for locating specific books efficiently.These digital systems help readers save time and avoid confusion when searching through shelves,showing that technology can complement (rather than replace printed books. In today's fast-paced world,countless distractions compete for people's attention. Smartphones,streaming services,podcasts,and the pressures of daily life often leave little room for sustained reading.Yet,whether bound in paper or stored digitally,reading remains 【高二英语¤第6页（共10页）】 powerful,serving as gateways to knowledge,promoting education,growth,and progress in society. 32.What does the underlined word "diminishing"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Fading. B.Confusing. C.Fashionable. D.Comfortable. 33.What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A.Library visits have become unnecessary. B.Book delivery services are losing popularity. C.Digital tools may facilitate access to physical books. D.Online catalogues have replaced traditional shelving. 34.What might the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A.Advise people to avoid daily distractions. B.Advocate reading regardless of its ways. C.Resist digital books despite their convenience. D.Compare physical books and the digital ones. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Health Benefits of Reading Printed Books B.How Libraries Are Adapting to New Technology C.Digital Media:Distracting Most People from Reading D.Printed Books:Holding Their Ground in a Digital Age 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分2.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出珂以填入空白处的最佳选瓊。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Life can be a constant struggle against adversity.We may be at a point in our life when we're running out of hope.Don't be discouraged if we fecl overwhelmed.At times,all we can do is take small steps. Stop making excuses When we fail,we ofien make up fancy excuses or just deny anything went wrong.But the first real step is that we have 1o acknowledge our disappointment and be honest about how we might have contributed to the problem when adversity strikes.Only then can we actually move past it.36. Write Sometimes it just feels good to get our thoughts out of our head and put them down on paper.Keeping a journal allows for self-expression and self-reflection in a safe,private space-without anyone judging us.3.And,after a while,we'll be able to look back on those tough times and see just how much we've grown and learned along the way. 38. Whether it's a big win or something small,take a moment to celebrate what we've done. We deserve it,and that little celebration will only help establish our sense of empowerment and self-confidence.People of achievement make time to appreciate their victories-no matter how tiny they might seem. 【高二英语¤第7页（共10页）】 Change our state of mind 39.When we expect failure or disappointment,chances are,we will experience it. This is a psychological phenomenon known as the self-fulfilling prophecy ()In other words,what we anticipate eventually happens.Training our mind to view situations and problems differently can,and will,have a different result.That doesn't mean we should just pretend everything is fine.40. A.Our thoughts define us B.Let each success fuel us C.Act according to others'reactions D.But there's real value in picturing a better outcome E We can talk about whatever is weighing on us in this way F.Try to focus our energy on those people with positive thoughts G.Even if it's not our fault,shifting all the blame onto others gets us nowhere 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。 As a longtime athlete,Grandpa makes marks in almost every possible age group. 41 he even celebrated his 80th birthday with a series of pole vault jumps.

Maria's heart just dropped.She only had 40 dollars in her purse-not nearly enough.She stood there for what felt like ages,lifting the box off the shelf and setting it back down,over and over again.In the end,she left it behind.She had carefully counted every.dollar in her 弥 purse before entering the store.She knew she had just enough to cover the essentials,maybe with a little left for the bus ride home.She had been struggling ever since her husband lost his job,and every shopping trip felt like solving a difficult puzzle:What did they need the most?
