His eyes were filled with concern and kindness. The man reached into his pocket and took out a wallet. He carefully counted out the one-hundred-dollar bill and handed it to me, saying, “Take this, young lady. Don’t give up on your dream.” Then, he also gave me a small piece of paper with his contact information on it, telling me to reach out if I ever needed help again. I was so shocked and grateful that I could hardly speak. With his contact information in pocket, I watched him disappear in the crowd. His act of kindness had given me a second chance. I quickly paid the rebooking fee and boarded the standby flight. On the plane, I kept thinking about the old man. I promised myself that I would repay his kindness one day. When I finally arrived home, I immediately wrote a letter to him, expressing my deep gratitude. His selfless act would always be a reminder that there is still good in the world, and it would inspire me to keep chasing my dream. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因家庭经济问题不得不放弃学业回国，在机场因错过航班且无力支付改签费而崩溃大哭时，一位老人慷慨相助并给予联系方式，作者深受感动并决心回报的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“透过泪水，我注意到一位犹豫不决的老人正看着我”可知，第一段可描写老人了解情况后慷慨相助，并留下联系方式。 ②由第二段首句内容“我把他的联系方式放在口袋里，看着他消失在人群中”可知，第二段可描写作者带着老人的善意登机，并决心回报老人的善意。 2. 续写线索：老人询问情况——老人慷慨相助并留下联系方式——作者深受感动——作者登机——作者决心回报 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①放弃：give up/abandon ②表达：express/convey ③激励：inspire/motivate 情绪类： ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/stunned ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Then, he also gave me a small piece of paper with his contact information on it, telling me to reach out if I ever needed help again.(运用了if引导的条件状语从句和现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】When I finally arrived home, I immediately wrote a letter to him, expressing my deep gratitude.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语) 附：听力原文： 1．C 【原文】M: What would you like to do in your lifetime?

M: I suppose so. 18．A 19．C 20．B 【原文】 Hello, and welcome to Sounds of the Airwaves. First released in 1970, the last song we played was Let It Be by the Beatles. Written by English musician Paul McCartney, the song was inspired by a dream he had of his mother, who sadly died when he was just fourteen. In the dream, she tried to make Paul feel better by saying everything would be okay, and just “let it be”. He woke up, wrote the song, and it went to number one in countries all over the world! Sit back, relax and listen with me to some of the best songs the world has ever produced. Over the next hour, we’ve got 1987’s Bad by Michael Jackson, Universe by the boy band Exo, and many more. But before all that, coming up after the break, we have something totally different... From the 2019 album Lover, which sold over a million copies in China, Cruel Summer is a song about pain and upset. Sung by Taylor Swift, the popular American singer, it’s one to make you think!

B Peverel Smith, a legendary artist, was seen walking on a Manhattan sidewalk wearing jeans, high-tops, a blazer, and a wool cap. She was there to meet me at a gallery owned by her friends. We entered the quiet space, where a large horse statue was the only thing visible through the glass. Smith, who will turn 79 in December, was preparing for a busy fall. She was releasing her memoir (回忆录), Bread of Angels, and going on an international tour to celebrate her famous album Horses. Spanning more than six decades, Smith’s career encompasses poetry, music, photography, and a myriad of other artistic endeavors. One of her most famous lyrics from Horses goes: “People say, ‘Beware,’ but I don’t care.” From her early childhood, she has consistently dared to challenge authority and break conventional boundaries. In her memoir, she recollects a question she posed during her school years regarding the future of art — a passion instilled in her by her art-loving father. Following the passing of her parents, Smith was sent to an orphanage, where she was deeply dismayed to discover that art had no place in the institution. It was at that moment that she resolved to dedicate her entire life to the pursuit of art. Smith’s early life was difficult. She grew up in a poor family, moving often and being sick a lot. Despite this, she loved storytelling and reading. She dreamed of writing the longest book in the world. She also wanted to be a musician, even though she said she didn’t know how to play guitar properly. Her rebellious spirit made her stand out in the male-dominated music scene. She married Fredrick Smith in Detroit and had two children. After Fred’s death in 1994, she returned to New York with her kids and continued her creative work. Smith’s life shows her ability to reinvent herself. She believes that everyone should find a piece of themselves in her stories. Smith plans to focus more on writing and less on memoirs. When asked how she feels, she said she feels like she is “ten and 100”. 24．What can we learn about Horses? A．Smith will go on a celebration tour for Horses this December. B．Horses holds lots of precious memories of Smith in her youth. C．Horses represents Smith’s resistance nature as her early album. D．Lyrics of Horses reflected nature of Smith since her childhood. 25．What is the main purpose of the 3rd paragraph? A．To introduce the life story of Peverel Smith. B．To present sympathy for Smith’s experiences. C．To convey Smith’s resilience under hardship.

A．Smith is excellent in health though advanced in years B．Smith is now well-travelled and ready to author more C．Smith is sensible about age when recalling her youth D．Smith is passionate but sometimes feels overwhelmed 27．What is the best title of this passage? A．Peverel Smith — My Ageless Friend B．Peverel Smith and Her Horses C．Lifetime Reinvention of Peverel Smith D．Poetic Singer — Peverel Smith C If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says. But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.” “Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.” “Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles. 28．Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________. A．reasonable B．objective C．unwise D．smart 29．Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue? A．A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner. B．A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day. C．A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning. D．A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination. 30．When do people feel less decision fatigue? A．When they take decision shortcuts. B．When they have advisers to turn to. C．When they have major decisions to make. D．When they help others to make decisions. 31．What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in? A．They stop trying anything new. B．They adopt a totally new idea. C．They tend to make risky decisions. D．They turn to physicians for advice. 32．What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making? A．It will often end in regret. B．It is likely to cause serious consequences. C．It will enable people to be more creative. D．It is necessary to achieve successful outcome. D A recent study conducted by Virginia Tech reveals significant age-related differences in how young adults respond to highly processed foods. Researchers designed a controlled experiment involving participants aged 18 to 25. Each individual followed two distinct diets, each lasting two weeks — one heavily based on highly processed items and the other completely free from them. After completing each diet, participants were observed during a buffet-style breakfast to measure their food intake and eating patterns. The analysis showed that, overall, the total amount of calories consumed did not vary significantly across the entire group. However, when the data were broken down by age, a clear trend emerged. Participants in the 18-21 age group ate noticeably more calories following the highly processed diet and were also more likely to eat snacks after they reported feeling full. In contrast, those in the 22–25 age group did not exhibit this behavior. This suggests that the transitional phase from late adolescence to adulthood may represent a period when individuals are especially easily affected by highly processed foods. Highly processed foods, which include items like drinks, flavored yogurts, and packaged snacks, account for a large share of the diet among young people. Such foods have been consistently associated with negative health outcomes. In this study, the nutritional profiles of the two diets were perfectly matched in terms of calories, fiber, and nutrient content. This intentional design allowed researchers to separate out the effect of how food is processed, rather than the differences in nutritional composition. Importantly, the act of eating without hunger has been identified in previous research as a reliable predictor of long-term weight gain among youth. The current findings indicate that exposure to highly processed foods may intensify this tendency, especially in younger participants. If sustained over time, it could contribute to gradual weight accumulation and related health risks. To build on these results, the research team recommends that future studies involve longer experimental periods, include participants from broader age ranges — particularly younger adolescents — and better real-world eating environments where food choices are frequent and varied. 33．Why were the two diets carefully matched in nutrients? A．To guarantee the health of the participants. B．To make the diets appealing to the participants. C．To examine specifically the effect of food processing. D．To compare the differences of nutrients of the two diets. 34．What does the study suggest about eating without hunger? A．It has no link to long-term health. B．It rarely occurs among young adults. C．It is equally common in both age groups studied. D．It may be strengthened by highly processed foods. 35．What is one limitation of the current study according to the last paragraph? A．It did not control the frequency of food choices. B．Its lack of participants from diverse backgrounds. C．Its relatively short duration and limited age ranges. D．It only provided processed foods for the participants. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life. 36 Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated? · 37 Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. 38 ·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional. The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. 39 If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress. ·Analyze the signal from the situation. When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. 40 In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth. Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration. A．Look on frustration from a different angle. B．Regard frustration as an academic challenge. C．There is a reason for the existence of frustration. D．Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions. E．On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first. F．Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth. G．In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Arriving in the U.

For as long as I could remember, becoming a doctor had been my greatest aspiration — one that had driven me to leave my family and home behind, to brave the harsh Russian winters and endless hours of tiring study. I had always believed that with hard work, I could heal the sick and make my parents proud. But my financial situation took a sudden turn for the worse when my family back in Sri Lanka could no longer send me money. With no savings left and bills piling up, I had no choice but to pack my bags and return home, abandoning the dream I’d fought so hard for. On the morning of my departure, I dragged my heavy suitcase to the bus stop, my steps slow and heavy. The bus to Moscow was crowded and endless traffic jammed the roads for hours. By the time I finally reached the city center, I could barely breathe from worry — I was already running late for my flight. I grabbed my suitcase and rushed toward the underground station, my breath coming in short gasps (喘气) as I weaved through the bustling crowds. When I finally made it to the airport, my heart sank. The flight gate was shut tight. I approached the counter, my voice trembling as I begged the staff for help. “You can take the standby flight 3 hours later, Miss,” the staff lady said, “but you have to pay an extra one hundred dollars for the rebooking fee.” I had used up all my savings on the journey to Moscow and had no financial support from home; I didn’t have that money. For me, it was an impossible amount. I wanted to be strong, to hold back my tears, but I couldn’t. I broke down and cried uncontrollably right there in front of the counter, my shoulders shaking as I thought of my wasted efforts and the uncertain future waiting for me. People began to gather around me. Suddenly, I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Through my tears, I noticed a hesitant old man watching me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With his contact information in pocket, I watched him disappear in the crowd. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
