W: They called for local people to take the dogs in, just until the weather warmed up again. And they received amazing responses. All 123 dogs found homes for the time being. M: Wow, that’s great! W: Even the police, who came to issue parking tickets to cars around the shelter, ended up taking a dog back to the station! M: No way! W: Better yet, after the weather warmed up, only 30 dogs were returned to the shelter. Most people decided to keep them. M: Well, I’d call that a happy ending. So…why are you crying? W: I don’t know! It’s just so lovely when people all pull together to help those in need. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. Who probably starts finger counting with their thumbs? A. Europeans. B.

Fingers of each hand are used four times. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. B 【解析】 【原文】Hi everyone. Today, I’d like to tell you about my current research topic. “Dactylonomy”, or the practice of counting on one’s fingers, feels so natural that you might assume that everyone does it the same way. However, people around the world actually have very different methods. If you’re from the U.K., Germany, France, or many parts of Europe, you probably start counting with your thumb, and finish with your smallest finger. Meanwhile, some people in America start with the first finger and end with the thumb. In parts of the Middle East, most people begin with the smallest finger, while the Japanese start with an open hand and gradually draw in each finger until they have a closed fist. Other countries have even more unique methods. Many Bantu-speakers in Tanzania use both hands equally, where possible. For example, the number six is represented with three fingers on each hand. Indian children are taught to count using the lines between each finger joint. This allows for more advanced calculations, as each of the five fingers represents four numbers. Not only can finger counting reveal where in the world you come from, but it can also reflect how we learned to understand numbers. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题，每题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Beatrix Potter’s PETER RABBIT 150 years after her birth, Steiff has created a special tribute to Beatrix Potter’s most famous creation — Peter Rabbit. • Perfect Craftsmanship & Charming Details With lovingly observed details, this naughty little rabbit is hand-made of the finest mohair (马海毛), and every detail has been perfectly captured.

They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.” Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won! As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.” 24. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station? A. It is climate-damaging. B. It provides energy to the locals. C. It is ecologically-unfriendly. D. It uses seawater-driven generators. 25. Why is the governor mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To express Erica’s desperate mood. B. To show the great barriers Erica faced. C. To stress the support from the government. D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction. 26. Which of the following can best describe Erica? A. Creative and industrious. B. Pioneering and curious. C. Adventurous and talkative. D. Determined and responsible. 27. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story? A. Only by talking to the governor can we succeed. B. Social Changes mainly rely on young people’s efforts. C. Young people can bring about changes by voicing their opinions. D. Environmental protection should give way to economic growth. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Erica Fernandez如何带领社区反对建设天然气处理站并最终取得胜利的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.(这些热废水会对周围的生态系统造成严重危害，杀死对海洋哺乳动物和渔业生存至关重要的小生物和小鱼)”可知，这个即将建设的天然气处理站对生态环境不友好。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it.(阻止这个项目的前景并不乐观。州长支持这个项目，那些必须批准这个项目的强大的州委员会也支持这个项目)”可知，州长和州委员会都支持这个项目，由此可推知，提到州长是为了表明Erica面临的巨大障碍。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press.(然而，在幕后，反对的声音越来越大，所以Erica成为了镇上年轻人的代言人。她经常沿着拟建管道的路线在社区里散步，用呼啦圈向人们展示将经过他们房子的管道的大小。她与媒体交谈，有关拟建设施危险性的报道开始出现在媒体上)”以及“In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!(2007年7月，州长做出了一个出人意料的举动：他拒绝了这个项目。Erica和她的朋友们赢了！)”可知，Erica在面对困难时并没有放弃，而是积极行动，最终取得了胜利，由此可推知，她是一个有决心和责任感的人。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first.(她希望其他年轻人在看到错误的事情时能大声说出来，即使一开始他们会感到害羞)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Erica Fernandez如何带领社区反对建设天然气处理站并最终取得胜利的故事，旨在传达年轻人可以通过表达自己的意见来带来改变的信息。 C Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 28. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of modern cities. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To describe how AI will change construction. D. To present architecture from a philosophical view. 29. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings. C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design. 30. Which of the following best describes the nature of “The Line”? A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project. C. A social welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design. 31. What’s the best title of the text? A. AI: The Future of Architectural Design B. AI: The Missing of Humanity C. Architecture: Preservation of Ancient Techniques D. Architecture: The Integration of AI and Philosophy 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能可以复制设计风格，但不能做出价值判断。它不能知道为什么哥伦比亚的图书馆把阅览室放在最明亮、最高的空间里，一个设计选择象征着平等。最好的建筑师应该是那些掌握哲学反思的人，未来最伟大的设计将出现在技术与哲学相遇的地方，而不是一个取代另一个。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. (建筑不仅仅是结构。它还反映了人类对生活的理解)”以及最后一句“Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. (然而，真正的建筑哲学要求我们问，保留一切是否总是符合社区的最大利益)”可知，是从哲学的角度展现建筑。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality.(人工智能可以复制数千种设计风格，但它不能做出价值判断。例如，它不知道为什么哥伦比亚的图书馆把阅览室——而不是办公室——放在最明亮、最高的空间里:这是一个象征平等的设计选择)”可知，伟大的设计是以人为本的。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Its design is not only technological but also philosophical - it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature.(它的设计不仅是技术上的，也是哲学上的——它问人类是否能创造一个可持续的城市，让人类与自然和谐相处。通过将传统城市转变为单一的垂直空间布局，它颠覆了我们对城市生活根深蒂固的固有认知。)”可知，“The Line”是一个环保城市项目。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life.(在人工智能时代，建筑师们摆脱了重复性的绘图工作，因此他们必须更深入地思考人类、社区以及可持续发展等问题。未来的伟大创举将产生于技术与哲学的交汇之处，而非一方取代另一方的地方)”以及本文主要讲述了人工智能可以复制设计风格，但不能做出价值判断。它不能知道为什么哥伦比亚的图书馆把阅览室放在最明亮、最高的空间里，一个设计选择象征着平等。最好的建筑师应该是那些掌握哲学反思的人，未来最伟大的设计将出现在技术与哲学相遇的地方，而不是一个取代另一个。故D选项“建筑学：人工智能与哲学的融合”最符合文章标题。 D Could ants’ nests help people build better transportation networks? In a new study, University of California biologists have discovered insights about how ants build their nests that could be useful for designing more efficient human transportation systems. The researchers analyzed 439 nests from 31 different species of ants. “You can think of the nest itself as a kind of highway network they move things in and out of,” said Sean O’Fallon, the study’s first author. “Ants face similar challenges to humans when it comes to living in crowded spaces. Ideally, we need to maintain close connections in a tightly packed city, yet there are limitations to how closely packed together we can be. There’s only so much space available for buildings and roads.” Ants’ nests consist of a tunnel leading down to an entrance chamber (室), where ants recruit (招募) other ants to help them find or transport food. From the entrance chamber, tunnels lead down to other chambers, which are connected by tunnels to still deeper chambers. Chambers serve different purposes, such as food and waste storage and raising the young. The researchers examined four common foraging (觅食的) strategies used by ants. In some species, individual ants hunt for food. In others, an ant brings food to the nest as a means of recruiting other ants to accompany it to the food source. Ants can also form a continuous route between the food source and the nest that can last for months. Or they can leave a special route that other ants can follow in large numbers a phenomenon called “mass recruitment”. The researchers had expected that nests for the mass recruitment foragers would have greater “network density (密度)” — meaning larger numbers of connections among the chambers — than nests built by other species. Greater network density, the scientists reasoned, would help facilitate more movement of ants and resources throughout the nest. But the research revealed that for ants representing all four foraging strategies, network density was relatively low — even for large nests with hundreds of chambers. In fact, across all foraging strategies, nests with the most chambers tended to have the lowest network density. “Ants have to balance the efficiency of highly connected nests with architectural stability,” said Sean O’Fallon. “On one hand, they want transportation to be faster, but too many connections between chambers could weaken the structural integrity of the nest, which could cause the entire system to collapse.” 32. What does the text tell us about the structure of ants’ nests? A. The entrance chamber is the largest part. B. Different chambers have specific functions. C. All chambers connect directly to the entrance. D. Deeper chambers are usually for raising the young. 33. How is the first foraging strategy different from the other three? A. Ants search for food independently. B. Ants form a long-lasting path to food. C. Ants bring food from the food source. D. Ants follow a specific route to the food source. 34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To draw a conclusion about how ants build their nests. B. To explain why ants avoid creating too many connections. C. To prove that ants are good at building transportation networks. D. To show how ants maintain the structural integrity of their nests. 35. In what way can humans learn from ants’ nests? A. Building strong structures that never collapse. B. Working in harmony in crowded environments. C. Communicating effectively with each other in large groups. D. Balancing efficient transportation networks with limited space. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过分析不同蚂蚁的筑巢结构，发现蚂蚁并没有为了运输效率而追求高密度的连接网络，而是在连接效率与结构稳定性之间取得平衡。这一发现可为人类在有限空间内设计更高效的交通系统提供启示。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Chambers serve different purposes, such as food and waste storage and raising the young.(蚁室有着不同的用途，比如用于储存食物和排泄物，以及养育幼体)”可知，蚁室有不同的用途，如储存食物、储存废物和养育幼蚁。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers examined four common foraging (觅食的) strategies used by ants. In some species, individual ants hunt for food. In others, an ant brings food to the nest as a means of recruiting other ants to accompany it to the food source..(研究人员对蚂蚁常用的四种觅食策略进行了研究。在某些种类的蚂蚁中，单个蚂蚁会去寻找食物。而在其他种类中，一只蚂蚁会将食物带回巢穴，以此来吸引其他蚂蚁一同前往食物源地)”可知，第一种觅食策略与其他三种的不同在于蚂蚁是独自寻找食物的。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Ants have to balance the efficiency of highly connected nests with architectural stability,” said Sean O’Fallon. “On one hand, they want transportation to be faster, but too many connections between chambers could weaken the structural integrity of the nest, which could cause the entire system to collapse.”(肖恩·奥法伦表示：“蚂蚁在构建高度互联的巢穴时，必须兼顾效率与建筑结构的稳定性。一方面，它们希望运输速度能更快，但巢穴之间过多的连接可能会削弱巢穴的整体结构强度，从而导致整个系统崩溃。”)”可知，最后一段的目的是说明蚂蚁为何避免建立过多的联系。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇指出蚂蚁筑巢的见解有助于设计更高效的人类交通系统，最后一段强调蚂蚁在有限空间内平衡运输效率与结构稳定性，避免过多连接。这启示人类：在设计交通网络时，不能只追求高密度连接，而在有限的空间内兼顾高效的交通网络建设。 第二节 七选五 (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。 Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____36____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____37____ Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____38____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. ____39____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____40____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless. A. Let yourself feel. B. Context matters as well. C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. D. These shape how you stop and interpret. E. Pay attention to how words flow together. F. The poem’s background determines the style. G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了欣赏诗歌的方法。 【36题详解】 根据下文“Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.(这首诗的节奏是加快还是放慢？这些变化往往反映了它的主题)” 可知，引出后文关于诗歌节奏变化的内容，因为单词组合流动的方式决定节奏，节奏变化又反映主题。E选项“注意单词是如何组合在一起流动的” 符合语境，故选E。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization.(它们的形式，包括押韵方案、诗节划分和行长，都有助于表达意义。结构严谨的诗歌可能唤起秩序感，而破碎的诗句可能反映混乱。不要忽视标点符号或大写字母)” 可知，承接前文，说明诗歌形式中的元素以及标点产生的影响。D选项“这些决定了你如何停顿和解读” 符合语境，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据上文Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention.(理解 “讲述者” 可以阐明诗歌的意图)” 及“Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.(历史事件、个人经历或文化符号可能会影响它的意义)” 可知，承上启下，引出后文关于诗歌背景对其意义产生影响的内容，说明除了理解讲述者，背景对理解诗歌也很关键。B选项“背景也很重要” 符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 此空为段落小标题。根据下文“Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity—is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.(诗歌基于情感，没有“正确”的解读。你的反应 —— 无论是喜悦、悲伤还是好奇 —— 都是可以接受的。重新审视这首诗：每次阅读，其含义往往会发生变化。记录下它引发的问题，如果感兴趣，研究不熟悉的典故)” 可知，选项强调欣赏诗歌要跟随自己的情感，引出后文关于情感反应及重新审视诗歌等内容。A选项“让自己去感受” 符合语境，作为小标题概括该段内容，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.(相反，它是关于欣赏声音、意象和思想的相互作用，使诗歌永恒)” 可知，选项引出后文对欣赏诗歌真正意义的阐述，通过对比说明欣赏诗歌并非追求唯一正确答案，而是感受其各元素的相互作用。故G选项“这不像解开一个“秘密密码”” 符合语境，故选G。 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。 No one is willing to fall ill, especially in a foreign country alone. ___41___ , such was exactly what happened to me.

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped. A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画，但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画，但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天，他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛，他很高兴，但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早，约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知，第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“一周后，一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知，第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动，妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持会有回报。 2.续写线索：离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①猛冲：dash/ dart/ leap ②全神贯注于：be absorbed in/ concentrate on ③期盼：look forward to/long for 情绪类 ①高兴的：happily/joyfully/delightedly ②焦急地：anxiously/ nervously/ worriedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. ( 运用了现在分词forgetting作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. ( 运用了with复合结构) 【高分句型3】Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears.

Today i'd like to tell you about my current research topic dack ilona y or the practice of counting on one's fingers. Feel so natural that you might assume that everyone does IT the same way. However, people around the world actually have very different methods. If you're from the U. K, germany, france or many parts of europe, you probably start counting with your son and finish with your smallest finger. Meanwhile, some people in amErica start with the first finger and end with the thun. In parts of the middle east, most people begin with the smallest finger, while the japanese start with open hand and gradually draw in each finger until they have a closed fist. Other countries have even more unique methods. Many bond speakers in tanzania use both hands equally where possible. For example, the number six is represented with three fingers on each hand. Indian children are taught to count using the lines between each finger joint. This allows for more advanced calculations, as each of the five fingers represents four numbers. Not only can finger counting reveal where in the world you come from, but I can also reflect how we learned to understand numbers. Hi everyone.

They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.” Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won! As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.” 24. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station? A. It is climate-damaging. B. It provides energy to the locals. C. It is ecologically-unfriendly. D. It uses seawater-driven generators. 25. Why is the governor mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To express Erica’s desperate mood. B. To show the great barriers Erica faced. C. To stress the support from the government. D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction. 26. Which of the following can best describe Erica? A. Creative and industrious. B. Pioneering and curious. C. Adventurous and talkative. D. Determined and responsible. 27. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story? A. Only by talking to the governor can we succeed. B. Social Changes mainly rely on young people’s efforts. C. Young people can bring about changes by voicing their opinions. D. Environmental protection should give way to economic growth. C Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 28. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of modern cities. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To describe how AI will change construction. D. To present architecture from a philosophical view. 29. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings. C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design. 30. Which of the following best describes the nature of “The Line”? A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project. C. A social welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design. 31. What’s the best title of the text? A. AI: The Future of Architectural Design B. AI: The Missing of Humanity C. Architecture: Preservation of Ancient Techniques D. Architecture: The Integration of AI and Philosophy D Could ants’ nests help people build better transportation networks? In a new study, University of California biologists have discovered insights about how ants build their nests that could be useful for designing more efficient human transportation systems. The researchers analyzed 439 nests from 31 different species of ants. “You can think of the nest itself as a kind of highway network they move things in and out of,” said Sean O’Fallon, the study’s first author. “Ants face similar challenges to humans when it comes to living in crowded spaces. Ideally, we need to maintain close connections in a tightly packed city, yet there are limitations to how closely packed together we can be. There’s only so much space available for buildings and roads.” Ants’ nests consist of a tunnel leading down to an entrance chamber (室), where ants recruit (招募) other ants to help them find or transport food. From the entrance chamber, tunnels lead down to other chambers, which are connected by tunnels to still deeper chambers. Chambers serve different purposes, such as food and waste storage and raising the young. The researchers examined four common foraging (觅食的) strategies used by ants. In some species, individual ants hunt for food. In others, an ant brings food to the nest as a means of recruiting other ants to accompany it to the food source. Ants can also form a continuous route between the food source and the nest that can last for months. Or they can leave a special route that other ants can follow in large numbers a phenomenon called “mass recruitment”. The researchers had expected that nests for the mass recruitment foragers would have greater “network density (密度)” — meaning larger numbers of connections among the chambers — than nests built by other species. Greater network density, the scientists reasoned, would help facilitate more movement of ants and resources throughout the nest. But the research revealed that for ants representing all four foraging strategies, network density was relatively low — even for large nests with hundreds of chambers. In fact, across all foraging strategies, nests with the most chambers tended to have the lowest network density. “Ants have to balance the efficiency of highly connected nests with architectural stability,” said Sean O’Fallon. “On one hand, they want transportation to be faster, but too many connections between chambers could weaken the structural integrity of the nest, which could cause the entire system to collapse.” 32. What does the text tell us about the structure of ants’ nests? A. The entrance chamber is the largest part. B. Different chambers have specific functions. C. All chambers connect directly to the entrance. D. Deeper chambers are usually for raising the young. 33. How is the first foraging strategy different from the other three? A. Ants search for food independently. B. Ants form a long-lasting path to food. C. Ants bring food from the food source. D. Ants follow a specific route to the food source. 34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To draw a conclusion about how ants build their nests. B. To explain why ants avoid creating too many connections. C. To prove that ants are good at building transportation networks. D. To show how ants maintain the structural integrity of their nests. 35. In what way can humans learn from ants’ nests? A. Building strong structures that never collapse. B. Working in harmony in crowded environments. C. Communicating effectively with each other in large groups. D. Balancing efficient transportation networks with limited space. 第二节 七选五 (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。 Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____36____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes. Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____37____ Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____38____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. ____39____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____40____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless. A. Let yourself feel. B. Context matters as well. C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. D. These shape how you stop and interpret. E. Pay attention to how words flow together. F. The poem’s background determines the style. G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”. 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。 No one is willing to fall ill, especially in a foreign country alone. ___41___ , such was exactly what happened to me.

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
