Efficiency was not just a habit; it was my identity. Then I joined a wilderness canoe (独木舟) trip in northern Quebec — a decision that would challenge everything I believed about time. Our guide, a Creek elder named Joseph, moved with a deliberateness that initially frustrated me. Each morning, he spent nearly an hour making tea, watching the lake, reading the sky. I calculated how much ground we could cover. Three days later, I finally asked why we couldn’t pack up faster. He looked at me with something between amusement and pity. “Where are you going that’s so important?” The question caught me off guard. I opened my mouth and realized I had nothing to say. A sudden emptiness washed over me, leaving me completely speechless. But his next words struck deeper. “My people have traveled these waters for thousands of years,” he said. “The ones who hurry make mistakes. They miss the signs. They tip their canoes in rapids they should have seen. The river doesn’t care how fast you want to go.” I brushed off his words as romantic wisdom until we ran a set of rapids. I was in the bow, paddling hard, focused on speed. Joseph called from the stern (船尾): “Slow down. Feel the water.” I turned a deaf ear to him. Moments later, we caught an edge I hadn’t noticed, and the canoe tipped, throwing us both into freezing water. As we dragged the canoe ashore, Joseph said nothing. His silence was more overwhelming than any lecture. That night, sitting by the fire, I began to understand. My whole life had been about conquering time. But here, speed had literally sunk me. I returned to Toronto with something fundamental shifted. When colleagues race through meetings, checking emails while pretending to listen, I find myself thinking of Joseph. The river still flows through me — a quiet reminder that some things cannot be rushed. The unhurried are not always slow; sometimes, they are simply wise enough to recognize what deserves their full attention. 4. What made the author speechless according to paragraph 3? A. His lack of communication skills. B. Joseph’s rude attitude towards him. C. Joseph’s simple but powerful question. D. His embarrassment at his impatience. 5. What do the underlined words “brushed off” mean in paragraph 4? A. Ignored. B. Rejected. C. Embraced. D. Doubted. 6. What does the author’s experience show? A. Speed itself is an obstacle to real success. B. Native wisdom offers answers to urban stress. C. True progress requires knowing what matters. D. Wilderness travel transforms anyone who tries it. 7. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. A Wise Cree Guide B. A Canoe Adventure C. The Efficiency Trap D. The River’s Pace 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者经历独木舟之旅后，领悟到“不要一味求快，要顺应从容的节奏”的道理。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““Where are you going that’s so important?” The question caught me off guard. I opened my mouth and realized I had nothing to say. A sudden emptiness washed over me, leaving me completely speechless.(“你要去的地方有什么特别的重要之处吗？”这个问题出乎我的意料。我张开嘴，却发现自己无话可说。一种突如其来的空虚感涌上心头，让我完全说不出话来)”可知，约瑟夫那简单却极具力量的问题让作者一下子说不出话来。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文““The ones who hurry make mistakes. They miss the signs. They tip their canoes in rapids they should have seen. The river doesn’t care how fast you want to go.”(“那些行动匆忙的人往往会犯错。他们忽视了种种迹象。他们会在本应能预见的急流中把独木舟弄翻。河流可不在乎你想要以多快的速度前行。”)”及所在句“I brushed off his words as romantic wisdom until we ran a set of rapids.(起初，我对他的话_______，认为那是些浪漫的说辞，直到我们经过了一段急流区域，我才开始认真思考他的话)”可知，作者对约瑟夫刚开始说的话不以为然，划线词与ignored意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“I began to understand. My whole life had been about conquering time. But here, speed had literally sunk me.(我终于明白了。我的一生都在努力与时间赛跑。但在这里，速度却实实在在地将我击垮了)”及最后一段“The river still flows through me — a quiet reminder that some things cannot be rushed. The unhurried are not always slow; sometimes, they are simply wise enough to recognize what deserves their full attention.(那条河流依然在我心中流淌——它默默地提醒着我，有些事情是不能匆忙完成的。那些不慌不忙的人并不总是行动迟缓；有时，他们只是足够明智，能够意识到哪些事情值得他们全神贯注地去对待)”可知，作者在这次旅行中，感受到了自己一直重视的速度却将自己击垮，那些不慌不忙的人能够认识到哪些事情才是真正重要的，因此，作者的经历展示了“真正的进步需要明确知道什么才是重要的事情”。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Then I joined a wilderness canoe (独木舟) trip in northern Quebec — a decision that would challenge everything I believed about time.(随后，我参加了在魁北克北部进行的野外独木舟之旅——这个决定彻底改变了我对时间的认知)”及全文内容可知，本文围绕作者在河流独木舟旅行中获得的感悟展开：不要一味求快，要顺应从容的节奏；结尾也点明“The river still flows through me(河流始终在我心中提醒我这个道理)”，The River’s Pace（河流的节奏）既贯穿了旅行线索，也贴合核心主旨，为最佳标题。故选D。 C Middle age has become a critical breaking point in the US. Those born in the 1960s and early 1970s report higher level of loneliness and depression, along with declining memory and physical strength — an unusual trend when compared with other wealthy nations, where midlife health and well-being have improved, especially inNordic Europe. To figure out the root cause, Arizona State University psychologist Frank J. Infurna and his colleagues analyzed survey data from 17 countries. They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices. Their findings, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, point to multiple contributing factors and offer directions for change. Family policy differences mark a key gap between the US and Europe. European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare. This leaves US middle-aged adults, who balance work, child-raising and elder care, facing steadily rising loneliness across generations. Healthcare affordability and income inequality worsen the situation. The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt. Income inequality has also grown in the US, unlike in Europe, and is linked to poorer health and greater loneliness, as it restricts education, employment and social service access. Cultural patterns and weak social safety nets also contribute to the issue. Americans move frequently and live far from extended families, weakening social ties. Later US generations also face financial insecurity, while Europe’s stronger safety nets protect its middle-aged population. Notably, education is losing its protective power: despite higher educational attainment, US middle-aged adults show episodic memory decline, weakened by ongoing stress and health risks. The researchers stress these outcomes are not unavoidable. Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US. 8. What led to America’s midlife crisis according to Infurna’s research? A. Close living space but loose social bonds. B. Heavy life pressures but weak social supports. C. Insufficient education and unfair work opportunities. D. Unhealthy lifestyle and limited access to medical care. 9. What is a major difference in family policies between the US and Europe? A. Europe has cared less about social ties. B. The US has adjusted cash transfer policies. C. The US has broadened parental leave support. D. Europe has increased family benefits spending. 10. What conclusion can be drawn about US healthcare from the text? A. People lack accessible and affordable care. B. It lays emphasis on people’s mental health. C. The government cuts down healthcare spending. D. Medical debt is people’s biggest financial burden. 11. What is the key to the solution of US midlife crisis? A. Individual social involvement. B. Experts’ long-term professional guidance. C. Gradual transformation of cultural patterns. D. Strong government-supported social protections. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国中年人孤独抑郁、健康下滑，研究发现源于生活压力大且社会支持弱，与欧洲福利政策差距明显，需政策完善社会保障。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices.(他们得出结论称，美国真正的中年危机并非源于个人的生活方式选择，而是由于在社会支持不断减弱的情况下，人们需要平衡工作、财务、家庭和健康等方面的关系)”可知，根据英弗纳的研究，导致美国出现“中年危机”的原因是重大的生活压力但缺乏有效的社会支持。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare.(自21世纪初以来，欧洲各国大幅增加了家庭福利支出，而美国的此类支出则基本保持不变，缺乏现金补助、父母假政策支持以及有资金保障的儿童保育服务)”可知，美国和欧洲在家庭政策方面的主要区别是欧洲增加了对家庭的补贴支出。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt.(美国在全球范围内在医疗保健方面的投入最多，但个人却面临着有限的就医渠道和高昂的自付费用，这导致了压力、焦虑以及医疗债务等问题的产生)”可知，人们难以获得便捷且价格合理的医疗服务。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US.(个人的社交活动能够减轻压力，但单靠个人努力是不够的——强有力的、有政策支持的保障体系对于扭转美国中年时期令人担忧的健康状况趋势至关重要)”可知，解决美国中年危机的关键是强大的政府支持下的社会保障体系。故选D。 D When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 12. What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A. To reduce winter heating costs. B. To capture thermal energy from soil. C. To store underground heat for later use. D. To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 13. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A. Phase change makes heat control possible. B. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer. C. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D. Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 14. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A. Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B. Developing test models with improved control. C. Applying the technology to residential sectors. D. Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 15. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员发现可以利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统，介绍了该研究的背景、过程、实际应用以及未来的发展方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. (他们研究的核心是一个基于地面的热蓄能器，它可以将剩余的能量储存在地下，并在需求高峰时提供能量。)”可知，KTU研究项目的主要目标是将地下的热量储存起来以备后用。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. (在一次测试中，当土壤被加热到沸点时，会引起相变，即液态水变成蒸汽。“相变可以是一种有效的方式。我们注意到，蒸汽流到达的任何地方，温度都会急剧上升。这意味着能量在移动，是可以控制的。”Ždankus教授说。)”可知，相变使热量控制成为可能。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods. (为了使这些基于地面的存储系统得到广泛应用，研究人员目前正在开发缩小的试点模型，并改进热量分配控制方法。)”可知，研究人员正在开发具有改进控制的测试模型，以实现该系统的实际应用。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy (热能) storage system. (考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员在我们脚下发现了一个创新的解决方案：利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员发现可以利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统，所以“脚下的土地：热能储存的新前沿”可以作为文章标题。故选D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。 The Benefits of Power Naps Winston Churchill swore by them. After polishing off a boozy lunch and a cigar the former British prime minister would climb into bed for an afternoon nap. The last part of his regime may be worth imitating. ____16____ A randomized controlled trial in 2023 found that nappers woke up with improvements to mood, alertness and memory. Napping habitually might also be wise. A study from 2007 found that healthy adults who took regular naps had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart disease. ____17____ Sleep scientists tend to agree that a short “power” nap, somewhere between ten and 30 minutes, is best. For example, in 1994 NASA found that a 26-minute power nap enhanced pilots’ performance. Sleep for too long and you enter deeper sleep phases and wake up feeling groggy. ____18____ A meta-analysis in 2016 concluded that daily naps lasting more than an hour increased the risk of developing diabetes. Some sleep experts contend that humans are biologically disposed to nap. They point to a natural dip in alertness after midday. ____19____ But even though a daytime rest fits this natural body rhythm, people still need to get seven hours of sound sleep at night. Coffee is a popular antidote to midday drowsiness. ____20____ A study published in 2008 found power naps to be more effective than caffeine at improving alertness and memory. “The rest in the middle of the day”, Churchill wrote, “refresh the human frame far more than a long night.” Modern sleep experts might not go so far. But if you have time for a catnap, it could do you some good. Just remember to set an alarm. A. However, the duration of your nap is critical. B. Sleeping during the day is not just for shift workers and cats. C. This natural dip in alertness makes a brief daytime sleep appealing. D. But research suggests a short nap might be a more effective solution. E. Moreover, studies show such short naps do not harm nighttime sleep quality. F. Taking longer naps on a regular basis could even have negative health effects. G. Therefore, office workers should be encouraged to take naps during lunch breaks. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了小睡的好处、最佳时长以及科学依据，并引用丘吉尔的习惯和现代研究来论证午睡对健康和工作效率的积极影响。 【16题详解】 根据第一段“Winston Churchill swore by them. After polishing off a boozy lunch and a cigar the former British prime minister would climb into bed for an afternoon nap.(温斯顿·丘吉尔非常推崇午睡。这位英国前首相在吃完一顿酒足饭饱的午餐、抽完雪茄后，会爬上床午睡)”可推知，此处是在引出午睡并非某些特定群体的专属行为，而是普通人也可以做的事情。Sleeping during the day is not just for shift workers and cats.(白天睡觉不仅仅是轮班工人和猫的专利)符合语境与下文2023年随机对照试验的研究结果形成顺承关系，引出午睡的普遍益处。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Sleep scientists tend to agree that a short “power” nap, somewhere between ten and 30 minutes, is best.(睡眠科学家普遍认为，一次持续10到30分钟的“短暂”小睡最为适宜)”可推知，此处是在强调午睡时长的重要性。However, the duration of your nap is critical.(然而，午睡的时长至关重要)承上启下，上文讲午睡的好处，此处转折引出时长问题，与下文科学家对最佳时长的建议相衔接。 根据上文“Sleep for too long and you enter deeper sleep phases and wake up feeling groggy.(睡太久会进入更深的睡眠阶段，醒来会感到昏昏沉沉)”以及下文“A meta-analysis in 2016 concluded that daily naps lasting more than an hour increased the risk of developing diabetes.(2016年的一项荟萃分析得出结论，每天午睡超过一小时会增加患糖尿病的风险)”可推知，此处是在说明午睡过长的负面影响。Taking longer naps on a regular basis could even have negative health effects.(经常长时间午睡甚至可能对健康产生负面影响)与下文关于糖尿病风险的研究结果直接对应。 【18题详解】 根据上文“They point to a natural dip in alertness after midday.(他们指出午后警觉性会自然下降)”可推知，此处应承接上文，说明这种自然下降带来的结果。This natural dip in alertness makes a brief daytime sleep appealing.(这种警觉性的自然下降使短暂的白天睡眠变得有吸引力)中的“This natural dip”与上文原句形成指代关系，逻辑连贯。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Coffee is a popular antidote to midday drowsiness.(咖啡是缓解午后困倦的常用方法)”以及下文“A study published in 2008 found power naps to be more effective than caffeine at improving alertness and memory.(2008年发表的一项研究发现，小睡比咖啡因在提高警觉性和记忆力方面更有效)”可推知，此处是在对比咖啡和小睡的效果，引出小睡是更好的选择。But research suggests a short nap might be a more effective solution.(但研究表明，短暂的小睡可能是更有效的解决方案)与上文咖啡的流行形成转折，并与下文研究结果相呼应。 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fifty-three, the idea of willingly immersing myself in mud was unimaginable.

Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game. Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean is saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud. Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona was dead, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere. Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how are you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He pushed the glass door open and stepped inside. The old-fashioned phone sat waiting, its black receiver smooth and cool. Mario lifted it with trembling hands. “Dad?” His voice cracked, barely a whisper. “It’s me. Mario.” Tears streamed down his cheeks as words poured out — about school, about missing him, about the silence that had swallowed everything. “I can’t hear the ocean say good morning anymore,” he sobbed. But as he spoke, the weight in his chest began to lift. The wind carried his words away, and somehow, that felt like enough. As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The old man stood alone, gazing at the water. Mario walked down the hill and stood beside him. Mr. Harper turned, his eyes softening. “You used the phone,” he said. It wasn’t a question. Mario nodded. They stood in comfortable silence, watching the waves lap gently against the boats. Then Mario took a deep breath. “Good morning, ocean,” he whispered. The waves whispered back: O-mor-ning. And for the first time in a long while, Mario almost smiled. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述海啸夺走了Mario的父亲、Mr. Harper的女儿Fiona以及Mario的声音。春天里，Mr. Harper在花园建造了一座无线的“风之电话亭”，村民们借此向逝去的亲人倾诉。Mario从沉默旁观到最终鼓起勇气，走进电话亭找回自己的声音。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，第一段应描写Mario走进电话亭、拿起听筒、对父亲倾诉的过程，声音从颤抖到释放。 ② 由第二段首句可知，第二段应描写两人相遇、Mr. Harper的欣慰、共同眺望港口，以及Mario重新向海洋问好的希望。 2. 续写线索：渴望发声——走进电话亭——倾诉父亲——释放泪水——走出电话亭——遇见Mr. Harper——共同眺望——重新问好——主题升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ① 举起：lift / raise/ hold up ② (泪水)流淌：stream / flow / pour / ran 情绪类： ① 颤抖的：trembling / shaking / quivering ② 温柔地：gently / softly / lightly / tenderly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tears streamed down his cheeks as words poured out — about school, about missing him, about the silence that had swallowed everything. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Mr. Harper turned, his eyes softening. （运用了“逻辑主语+现在分词”构成的独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2026届高三春期第二次调研检测 英 语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Then I joined a wilderness canoe (独木舟) trip in northern Quebec — a decision that would challenge everything I believed about time. Our guide, a Creek elder named Joseph, moved with a deliberateness that initially frustrated me. Each morning, he spent nearly an hour making tea, watching the lake, reading the sky. I calculated how much ground we could cover. Three days later, I finally asked why we couldn’t pack up faster. He looked at me with something between amusement and pity. “Where are you going that’s so important?” The question caught me off guard. I opened my mouth and realized I had nothing to say. A sudden emptiness washed over me, leaving me completely speechless. But his next words struck deeper. “My people have traveled these waters for thousands of years,” he said. “The ones who hurry make mistakes. They miss the signs. They tip their canoes in rapids they should have seen. The river doesn’t care how fast you want to go.” I brushed off his words as romantic wisdom until we ran a set of rapids. I was in the bow, paddling hard, focused on speed. Joseph called from the stern (船尾): “Slow down. Feel the water.” I turned a deaf ear to him. Moments later, we caught an edge I hadn’t noticed, and the canoe tipped, throwing us both into freezing water. As we dragged the canoe ashore, Joseph said nothing. His silence was more overwhelming than any lecture. That night, sitting by the fire, I began to understand. My whole life had been about conquering time. But here, speed had literally sunk me. I returned to Toronto with something fundamental shifted. When colleagues race through meetings, checking emails while pretending to listen, I find myself thinking of Joseph. The river still flows through me — a quiet reminder that some things cannot be rushed. The unhurried are not always slow; sometimes, they are simply wise enough to recognize what deserves their full attention. 4. What made the author speechless according to paragraph 3? A. His lack of communication skills. B. Joseph’s rude attitude towards him. C. Joseph’s simple but powerful question. D. His embarrassment at his impatience. 5. What do the underlined words “brushed off” mean in paragraph 4? A. Ignored. B. Rejected. C. Embraced. D. Doubted. 6. What does the author’s experience show? A. Speed itself is an obstacle to real success. B. Native wisdom offers answers to urban stress. C. True progress requires knowing what matters. D. Wilderness travel transforms anyone who tries it. 7. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. A Wise Cree Guide B. A Canoe Adventure C. The Efficiency Trap D. The River’s Pace C Middle age has become a critical breaking point in the US. Those born in the 1960s and early 1970s report higher level of loneliness and depression, along with declining memory and physical strength — an unusual trend when compared with other wealthy nations, where midlife health and well-being have improved, especially inNordic Europe. To figure out the root cause, Arizona State University psychologist Frank J. Infurna and his colleagues analyzed survey data from 17 countries. They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices. Their findings, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, point to multiple contributing factors and offer directions for change. Family policy differences mark a key gap between the US and Europe. European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare. This leaves US middle-aged adults, who balance work, child-raising and elder care, facing steadily rising loneliness across generations. Healthcare affordability and income inequality worsen the situation. The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt. Income inequality has also grown in the US, unlike in Europe, and is linked to poorer health and greater loneliness, as it restricts education, employment and social service access. Cultural patterns and weak social safety nets also contribute to the issue. Americans move frequently and live far from extended families, weakening social ties. Later US generations also face financial insecurity, while Europe’s stronger safety nets protect its middle-aged population. Notably, education is losing its protective power: despite higher educational attainment, US middle-aged adults show episodic memory decline, weakened by ongoing stress and health risks. The researchers stress these outcomes are not unavoidable. Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US. 8. What led to America’s midlife crisis according to Infurna’s research? A. Close living space but loose social bonds. B. Heavy life pressures but weak social supports. C. Insufficient education and unfair work opportunities. D. Unhealthy lifestyle and limited access to medical care. 9. What is a major difference in family policies between the US and Europe? A. Europe has cared less about social ties. B. The US has adjusted cash transfer policies. C. The US has broadened parental leave support. D. Europe has increased family benefits spending. 10. What conclusion can be drawn about US healthcare from the text? A. People lack accessible and affordable care. B. It lays emphasis on people’s mental health. C. The government cuts down healthcare spending. D. Medical debt is people’s biggest financial burden. 11. What is the key to the solution of US midlife crisis? A. Individual social involvement. B. Experts’ long-term professional guidance. C. Gradual transformation of cultural patterns. D. Strong government-supported social protections. D When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 12.

After polishing off a boozy lunch and a cigar the former British prime minister would climb into bed for an afternoon nap. The last part of his regime may be worth imitating. ____16____ A randomized controlled trial in 2023 found that nappers woke up with improvements to mood, alertness and memory. Napping habitually might also be wise. A study from 2007 found that healthy adults who took regular naps had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart disease. ____17____ Sleep scientists tend to agree that a short “power” nap, somewhere between ten and 30 minutes, is best. For example, in 1994 NASA found that a 26-minute power nap enhanced pilots’ performance. Sleep for too long and you enter deeper sleep phases and wake up feeling groggy. ____18____ A meta-analysis in 2016 concluded that daily naps lasting more than an hour increased the risk of developing diabetes. Some sleep experts contend that humans are biologically disposed to nap. They point to a natural dip in alertness after midday. ____19____ But even though a daytime rest fits this natural body rhythm, people still need to get seven hours of sound sleep at night. Coffee is a popular antidote to midday drowsiness. ____20____ A study published in 2008 found power naps to be more effective than caffeine at improving alertness and memory. “The rest in the middle of the day”, Churchill wrote, “refresh the human frame far more than a long night.” Modern sleep experts might not go so far. But if you have time for a catnap, it could do you some good. Just remember to set an alarm. A. However, the duration of your nap is critical. B. Sleeping during the day is not just for shift workers and cats. C. This natural dip in alertness makes a brief daytime sleep appealing. D. But research suggests a short nap might be a more effective solution. E. Moreover, studies show such short naps do not harm nighttime sleep quality. F. Taking longer naps on a regular basis could even have negative health effects. G. Therefore, office workers should be encouraged to take naps during lunch breaks. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fifty-three, the idea of willingly immersing myself in mud was unimaginable.

Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game. Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean is saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud. Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona was dead, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere. Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how are you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
