B Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr. Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position — measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research program — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programs promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 24. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 25. After talking with Professor Devon, what did the author decide to do? A. Criticize the review process. B. Stay longer in the Sahara Desert. C. Apply to the original project again. D. Put his heart and soul into the lab work. 26. What did the author think of the project with the robotics professor? A. Demanding. B. Inspiring. C. Misleading. D. Pioneering. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. C Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for more than a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épéé fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male épéé fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épéé fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabrefencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat.” This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 28. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity”? A. Equality. B. Innocence. C. Rarity. D. Imbalance. 29. What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish? A. Different athletes’ tricks. B. Two sources of advantage. C. Top players’ performance. D. The impacts of unfamiliarity. 30. What do the numbers in paragraph 3 imply? A. Different fencing events vary a lot. B. Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. C. Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. D. Athletic left-handers account for a higher percentage. 31. According to Dr. Simon, what leads to lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their superior technical skills. C. Their swifter brain processing. D. Their special movement patterns. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Ice sheets float on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, sharp and restless. In the distance, mountains glow (发光) under the moonlight. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ___32___ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home. There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ___33___ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or financial pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those restricted by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel often sets in place. ___34___ Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, sample local dishes, and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them. This distinction is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. ___35___ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded. Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ___36___ A. I am not moving, yet I am traveling. B. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark. C. My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day. D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible. E. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground. F. It demands choices, adaptation, and constant awareness of the unexpected. G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____37____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____38____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____39____.

If we let fear take over, we’ll miss its wonders.” The students nodded, their faces brightening. As we walked back, they laughed, finally noticing the world they’d overlooked before. The lesson was simple but profound: The ____51____ shapes the future. Don’t let fear steal today’s gifts. 37. A. Ignoring B. Sensing C. Criticizing D. Celebrating 38.

Moreover, by following an imaginary line through two stars in its bowl, one could locate Polaris, the ____58____ (changing) “North Star” that laid the foundation of Chinese navigation. In folk culture, the fourth star of the Big Dipper was seen as Wenquxing (Star of Literature), adding spiritual weight to the scientific use of the asterism (星群). From astronomers predicting eclipses (日食，月食) to ____59____ (poet) writing about starry reunions, ancient China’s cosmic explorations bridged logic and legend. The stars became a language — ____60____ way to explain life’s mysteries and connect earthly lives to the infinite sky. Today, with the development of science and technology, humans are casting their glance to the deeper universe. It’s high time that ancient wisdom was absorbed ____61____ (fuel) modern explorations. 第三节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据下面句子的语境提示和首字母提示，写出所需单词的正确形式，每空一词。在答题卡上作答时，请写出完整单词。 62.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor, Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think — wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. 72. 从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 over boil think contribute forgetful passionate click assign mystery increasing energetic daily Mae joined the school Coding Club because of her _____ for problem-solving.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了每年4月在美国加州举办的科切拉音乐节，主要包括其基本信息、入场要求和开放时间。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, pop, indie, hip hop and electronic dance music (活动包含多种音乐类型的艺术家，如摇滚、流行、独立、嘻哈和电子舞曲)”可知，科切拉音乐节以多种音乐类型为特色。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据About Passes部分的“Wristbands are non-transferable once applied. (腕带一旦佩戴即不可转让)”可知，科切拉音乐节的腕带一经佩戴即不可转让。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Open Hours部分的“Coachella shuttle service will depart from local hotels at 1:00 pm Friday–Sunday. (科切拉的班车服务将于周五至周日下午1点从当地酒店出发)”可知，科切拉音乐节的观众可在周六下午1点乘坐接驳车前往场地。故选A项。 B Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr. Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position — measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research program — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programs promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 24. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 25. After talking with Professor Devon, what did the author decide to do? A. Criticize the review process. B. Stay longer in the Sahara Desert. C. Apply to the original project again. D. Put his heart and soul into the lab work. 26. What did the author think of the project with the robotics professor? A. Demanding. B. Inspiring. C. Misleading. D. Pioneering. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者求职科研项目惨遭拒绝，却意外收获实验室机会，最终明白挫折拒绝也是人生新方向。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name.(当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速)”可知，作者看到发件人名字时内心十分紧张焦虑。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.(她提出的项目虽然不如我最初申请的项目令人心动，但我决定全力以赴去做好)”可知，和教授交谈过后，作者决定全身心投入实验室工作。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.(这个项目不用奔赴酷热沙漠、居家就能完成，适配特殊时期，还弥补了传统方法的不足，让我找到了全新科研兴趣)”可知，这个机器人相关项目很有启发性，让作者收获颇丰。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.(我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会可知，文章告诉我们拒绝可能也是一次机遇。 C Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for more than a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épéé fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male épéé fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épéé fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabrefencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat.” This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 28. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity”? A. Equality. B. Innocence. C. Rarity. D. Imbalance. 29. What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish? A. Different athletes’ tricks. B. Two sources of advantage. C. Top players’ performance. D. The impacts of unfamiliarity. 30. What do the numbers in paragraph 3 imply? A. Different fencing events vary a lot. B. Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. C. Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. D. Athletic left-handers account for a higher percentage. 31. According to Dr. Simon, what leads to lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their superior technical skills. C. Their swifter brain processing. D. Their special movement patterns. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了左撇子在部分单人对抗运动中占比更高。研究证实其优势并非只源于陌生感，而是大脑信息处理更快，微小脑部差异能决定顶级赛事胜负。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. (左撇子仅占人口的约十分之一，他们在这样一个为右撇子设计的世界里常常会遭遇诸多困难。)”可知，左撇子仅占人口十分之一，数量少，很稀有。故划线词意思是“稀有”。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for more than a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. (为了验证自己的这一观点，西蒙博士对顶尖运动员在羽毛球、乒乓球、网球以及三种击剑项目中的表现进行了长达十多年的研究。他推断，如果这种优势仅仅是由于不熟悉所致，那么在最高水平的比赛中这种优势就会减弱，因为在那里，选手们会识破左撇子的招数。然而，如果这是一种与生俱来的因素，那么这种优势实际上可能会进一步增强。)”可知，西蒙的实验旨在区分两种不同的优势来源。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épéé fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male épéé fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. (他的研究揭示了一个有趣的规律。在花剑、重剑以及乒乓球项目中，顶尖选手中左撇子的占比明显更高。例如，男子重剑前两百名选手中左撇子占18%，男子花剑前两百名中占23%；而仅统计前一百名时，这一比例分别升至28%和31%。但其余三项运动并未出现这一现象。)”可知，第三段中的这些数字意味着左撇子在某些顶级运动项目中具有优势。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épéé fencing. (他认为他们的大脑在处理视觉、空间以及时间信息方面尤为出色，并且能够迅速做出反应，这对于诸如花剑和重剑击剑这类需要快速反应的运动来说至关重要。)”可知，据西蒙博士所说，导致左撇子在特定运动项目中表现出色的原因是他们的大脑处理信息的速度更快。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Ice sheets float on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, sharp and restless. In the distance, mountains glow (发光) under the moonlight. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ___32___ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home. There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ___33___ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or financial pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those restricted by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel often sets in place. ___34___ Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, sample local dishes, and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them. This distinction is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. ___35___ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded. Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ___36___ A. I am not moving, yet I am traveling. B. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark. C. My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day. D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible. E. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground. F. It demands choices, adaptation, and constant awareness of the unexpected. G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. F 36. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过作者的虚拟现实体验引入，探讨了虚拟旅行与现实旅行的区别，指出虚拟现实无法替代真实旅行所带来的感官体验和情感联结。 【32题详解】 前文“I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else.

(这就是虚拟现实（VR）的愿景：一个无需离家便能抵达的世界。)”是对前文的概括总结，A选项“我没有移动，却正在旅行”概括了前文的虚拟旅行体验，又引出后文要讨论的核心内容，承接上文并点明主题。故选A。 【33题详解】 根据前文“There is much to appreciate in this form of travel.

Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them. (旅行者漫步在陌生的街道上，品尝当地美食，与来自不同传统背景的人面对面交流。这些体验唤醒感官，创造持久的记忆。更重要的是，它们改变了我们对一个地方的情感认知，而不仅仅是理性理解。)”描述了真实旅行的独特体验和深刻影响，B选项“然而真实的旅行留下更深的印记。”引出对真实旅行的进一步阐述。故选B。 【35题详解】 根据前文“Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. (相比之下，真实旅行充满不可预测性。)”可知，本空应进一步说明这种不可预测性带来的影响。F选项“它要求人们做出选择、不断适应，并时刻留意突发情况。”具体解释了真实旅行中不可预测性所带来的挑战与体验，与前文形成解释关系。故选F。 【36题详解】 前文“Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. (旅行不仅仅是看得更远，更是感受你所在的地方。)”强调真实旅行中的情感体验与身体在场的重要性，E选项“有些知识似乎只有当你脚踏实地时才能获得。”是前文内容的升华，点明真实旅行不可替代的价值。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____37____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____38____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____39____.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor, Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think — wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. 72. 从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 over boil think contribute forgetful passionate click assign mystery increasing energetic daily Mae joined the school Coding Club because of her _____ for problem-solving. One day Mae _____ a project: to create a simple app within one week that could solve a real-life problem. Mae kept _____ about the challenge while she made her way to Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. Mrs. Thompson was a hospitable neighbor. Lately, she was getting _____ forgetful. When Mae arrived that day, Mrs. Thompson was in the kitchen but not sure whether she _____ water for their afternoon tea before Mae came. As they chatted_____ tea, Mrs. Thompson mentioned that not only she but also her book club friends were troubled by _____. Given the above, Mrs. Thompson half-joked that it would be nice if something could remind them of _____ tasks. At that moment, it _____. Mae rose to leave and said with a _____ smile that she would come back with a little surprise. That night, she started working. 根据文本内容回答下列问题。 73. What would be the “little surprise”? ________________________________________________________________ 74. What specific functions would Mae design in the “little surprise”? List two. ________________________________________________________________ 75.

It would be a simple app designed to help Mrs. Thompson remember things. 74. First, the app might have customized reminders with alerts (e.g., alarms or notifications) for daily tasks (such as taking medicine, watering plants, and the Friday book club meeting, etc.); Second, the app might have reminders to help locate misplaced keys or repeat important information. 75. Mrs. Thompson would be surprised, delighted and express her gratitude warmly. This reaction would strengthen/reinforce Mae’s belief that coding should and can truly make life easier for others. 或 Mae would feel proud of herself and motivated to solve real-life problems through technology. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了热爱探索与解决问题的梅加入学校编程社团后，接到设计实用小程序的任务，她从健忘的邻居汤普森夫人及其朋友的日常困扰中获得灵感，打算制作一款提醒类应用来帮助老年人的故事。 【72题详解】 ①考查名词。句意：梅凭借自己爱解决问题的一腔热忱加入了学校编程社团。空处需填名词作宾语，根据文章第一段“I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems(我一直热衷于探索未知、解决问题)” 可知，passionate的名词为 passion，表示“热爱，热忱”。 ②考查时态语态。句意：有一天，梅被布置了一项任务：在一周内设计一款能够解决现实生活问题的简易应用。根据文章第二段““Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.”(一天，她在课堂上宣布：“你们的任务，是设计一款简易应用，用来解决现实生活中的实际问题。”)”可知，梅被布置了一项任务，assign 表示“分配、布置”，主语Mae与assign为被动关系，故事为过去时态，故用一般过去时的被动语态was assigned。 ③考查非谓语动词。句意：放学后，在去往汤普森夫人家的路上，梅一直在思索这项挑战。根据第三段“The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor, Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school.(放学后，在前往邻居汤普森夫人家的路上，我一直在思索这个任务。)”可知，梅一直在思索这项挑战。固定搭配keep doing sth.表示 “持续做某事”，think about表示“思考”，用动名词thinking作宾语。 ④考查副词。句意：最近，她变得越来越健忘。此处修饰形容词forgetful，需用副词，根据第三段“Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful (汤普森夫人为人和善、性格开朗，但近来她变得有些健忘)”可知，汤普森夫人越来越健忘，increasingly表示“越来越、不断增加地”，符合语境。 ⑤考查过去完成时。句意：那天梅到达时，汤普森夫人正在厨房里，不确定在梅到来之前自己是否已经煮好了下午茶的水。根据第四段““Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?”(“梅！你来的正好。” 她热情地跟我打招呼，随即停了下来，看向水壶。“我是不是已经烧过泡茶的水了？”)”可知，汤普森夫人不确定在梅到来之前自己是否已经煮好了下午茶的水。“煮水”发生在过去动作arrived之前，为“过去的过去”，用过去完成时had boiled。 ⑥考查介词。句意：她们边喝茶边聊天，聊天过程中，汤普森夫人提到，不仅是她，读书俱乐部的朋友们也饱受健忘的困扰。根据第五段“We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting.(我一边倒水，一边为此事相视一笑，没过多久，我们便闲聊了起来。)”可知，她们边喝茶边聊天，介词over可表示“在…… 期间”，chat over tea表示“喝茶时闲聊”。 ⑦考查名词。句意同上。根据第五段“Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice.(汤普森夫人面带微笑，谈起了她的两位老友。布朗先生比赛总迟到，史密斯女士还两次忘记带上眼镜。)”可知，读书俱乐部的朋友们也饱受健忘的困扰，介词by后接名词，forgetful的名词形式forgetfulness，表示“健忘，失忆”。 ⑧考查形容词。句意：就此，汤普森夫人半开玩笑地说，如果能有东西提醒她们完成日常琐事就好了。根据第六段“But sometimes I think — wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? (但有时候我就在想 —— 如果能有个东西提醒我们，那该多好啊？)”可知，汤普森夫人希望能有东西提醒她们完成日常琐事，修饰名词tasks用形容词，daily tasks表示“日常事务、日常琐事”。 ⑨考查动词。句意：就在那一刻，梅灵光一闪。根据第七段“As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”(我起身准备离开时，神秘地笑了笑：“给我几天时间，我会给你带来一个小惊喜。”)”可知，梅突然有了想法，固定句式It clicks/clicked表示 “突然明白、灵光乍现”，文章描述过去的事情，用一般过去时clicked。 ⑩考查形容词。句意：梅起身告辞，带着一抹神秘的微笑说，她会带着小惊喜再来拜访。根据第七段“As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”(我起身准备离开时，神秘地笑了笑：“给我几天时间，我会给你带来一个小惊喜。”)”可知，梅带着神秘的微笑，修饰名词smile用形容词，mysterious表示 “神秘的”。 【73题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第六段 “But sometimes I think — wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.(但有时我会想，如果有东西能提醒我们该多好？按时吃药、给植物浇水、周五参加读书俱乐部活动。)” 及第七段“As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”(我起身准备离开时，神秘地笑了笑：“给我几天时间，我会给你带来一个小惊喜。”)”可推知，这个小惊喜会是一款帮助汤普森夫人记事、提醒日常琐事的简易应用程序。 【74题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第六段“But sometimes I think — wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.(但有时我会想，如果有东西能提醒我们该多好？按时吃药、给植物浇水、周五参加读书俱乐部活动。)” 以及第三段“but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it.(但最近她有些健忘，经常放错钥匙或是无意识重复讲述同一个故事。)” 可知，梅会设计两项功能：一是设置日常事务提醒，例如吃药、浇花、读书俱乐部活动提醒；二是增加物品收纳提示，帮助避免钥匙乱放或重复信息等健忘问题。 【75题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“It is about using technology to make life easier for others.(编程的意义是利用科技为他人的生活提供便利。)”及原文第六段 “But sometimes I think — wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.(但有时我会想，如果有东西能提醒我们该多好？按时吃药、给植物浇水、周五参加读书俱乐部活动。)” 及第七段“As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”(我起身准备离开时，神秘地笑了笑：“给我几天时间，我会给你带来一个小惊喜。”)” 可知，汤普森夫人收到礼物后会十分惊喜、开心并由衷感谢梅；这会让梅收获成就感，更加坚信编程可以解决现实问题、造福他人，同时，梅也会倍感自豪，更有动力用科技解决现实生活中的问题。 第五部分 写作（满分20分） 76. 假如你是李华，你的外国朋友Chris报名参加了“世界地球日”海报设计大赛，他创作了两个版本（见下图），向你征求意见。请你给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1．你的选择； 2．说明理由。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Possible Version 1 Dear Chris, Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Between the two versions, I highly recommend the first one, “There is no Planet B.” I prefer this design for two main reasons. Visually, the poster features a crying and sweating Earth, with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top. It vividly highlights the severe environmental crises we are facing, such as global warming and air pollution. More importantly, the slogan itself is brilliant. By cleverly playing on the phrase “Plan B”, it sends a powerful warning to the public: our planet is irreplaceable, and we have no backup home to escape to. Therefore, we must stop the destruction before it’s too late. I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. Best of luck! Yours, Li Hua Possible Version 2 Dear Chris, Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Both versions are fantastic, but I favor the second one, “OUR ACTIONS, OUR FUTURE.” What makes this poster stand out is the perfect combination of its image and slogan. In terms of the image, it presents a hopeful scene where a pair of hands gently holds the Earth. On top of the globe, leafy trees and a bright sun vividly symbolize a green, sustainable future. Moreover, the slogan perfectly matches the drawing. Written entirely in bold capitals, the words create a strong impact, conveying a highly positive message that the destiny of our planet literally lies in our own hands. I’m sure this inspiring design will shine in the contest and motivate more people to take concrete eco-friendly actions. Good luck! Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就海报设计大赛的两个版本给出选择并阐述理由，文章推荐了第一个版本并说明了原因。 【详解】1.词汇积累 主要的：main → primary 聪明的：clever → intelligent 警告：warning → alert 有毒的：toxic → poisonous 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. 拓展句：I hold the belief that this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Visually, the poster features a crying and sweating Earth, with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top.
