When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies.
No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications.
When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself.
What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.
24. What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author?
A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers.
B. Students’ false assumptions about learning.
C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life.
D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies.
25. Why does the author bring tires into the classroom?
A. To teach an engineering skill. B. To explain the structure of a car.
C. To share a real-life experience. D. To illustrate a scientific concept.
26. What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method?
A. A higher class attendance rate. B. Better examination results.
C. A closer teacher-student bond. D. More spare time for students.
27. Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher?
A. Innovative. B. Humorous. C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic.
C
Imagine cozying up in your bed after a long day. You scroll through your favorite social media apps for what feels like ten minutes, but then you realize hours have passed. You promise yourself just five more minutes — then it’s 3:00 am. You wake up tired the next morning and go to work dizzy but do the same thing again that night. You know you need the rest, but you still stay up and sacrifice sleep to scroll aimlessly on your smartphone.
If you can relate to this situation, you’re not alone. This phenomenon, called “revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡前拖延症)”, is described as the tendency “to sacrifice sleep for leisure time that is driven by a daily schedule lacking in free time” by the Sleep Foundation.
People who spend most of their waking hours working experience a severe lack of “me time” in which they can be free of responsibilities. Nowadays, some people feel guilty even for resting, so there is a strong desire for uninterrupted personal time.
Some people find that sense of control by doing things often thought of as lazy or a waste of time — for instance, scrolling through social media or watching TV shows. By indulging (沉迷于) in these activities in the hours of the night when the world is asleep, people get a sense of “revenge” and control over how they spend their time.
Revenge bedtime procrastination is experienced differently by various groups, despite being motivated by the same reasons. Parents of young children spend most of their day trying to balance work and childcare, so there is a powerful desire to spend some time alone, free of all obligations. For many parents, this is only possible at night when work hours are over and the kids are asleep.
Likewise, college students with a demanding class schedule, employees in high-stress jobs, and workers who put in a lot of overtime may be particularly influenced by bedtime procrastination.
28. Which of the following best describes the people with “revenge bedtime procrastination”?
A. They often wake up refreshed for work.
B. They usually search to achieve some aims.
C. They often delay their sleep time again and again.
D. They control their time spent on the social media apps.
29. Why do people scroll on the phone late into the night?
A. To pass the long boring time. B. To enjoy the quiet time alone.
C. To gain control of their free time. D. To escape their social responsibilities.
30. Who are not likely to get revenge bedtime procrastination?
A. Workers with a lot of leisure time.
B. Employees busy with stressful jobs.
C. Parents stuck in work and childcare.
D. College students with heavy burdens of study.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why We Lack Sleep B. Why We Stay Up Too Late
C. Why We Are Addicted to Phones D. Why We Choose Scrolling over Sleeping
D
A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet.
Psychologists have categorized these feelings of grief, distress and worry about the current climate emergency — a common occurrence among youth today — under the label of “eco-anxiety”. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “heightened emotional discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system”.
It is predicted that by 2027, eco-anxiety will become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. The reasons are obvious. Scientists estimate that the world is likely to exceed safe levels of temperature rise for the first time by 2030. In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods sweep regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience psychological suffering.
Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will offer a way to tackle the climate crisis head on. Caroline Hickman, a researcher working on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, cautions that the feelings of worry associated with eco-anxiety should not be pathologized (病理化). After all, the cause of this mental concern is external. According to Hickman, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational (理性的) reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can stimulate people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in 2027, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that sponsor them to rapidly phase out the usage of coal, oil, and gas. It’s now clear that not only are they the main contributor to the climate crisis, they are also responsible for the mental health crisis that is starting to affect most of us. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy — we will tackle it by taking action.
32. What is a major factor contributing to the rise of eco-anxiety?
A. The decline in air pollution. B. The decrease in global temperatures.
C. The advances in psychological therapy. D. The increase in climate-related natural disasters.
33. What is Hickman’s suggestion for eco-anxiety?
A. Dismiss it as an irrational fear.
B. Use it as a motivator to protect the planet.
C. See it as natural reactions to environmental changes.
D. Treat it as mental illness that requires professional therapy.
34. What action is expected to be taken to address eco-anxiety?
A. Treating it primarily with psychological therapy.
B. Initiating global climate campaigns to raise awareness.
C. Adopting strategies that focus on ecological sustainability.
D. Rapidly increasing the development of renewable energy sources.
35. What does the underlined phrase “phase out” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Decrease the reliance. B. Increase the application.
C. Replace something with alternatives. D. Maintain the current usage.

Over-Promotion of Scenic Spot Foods: How to Stay Reasonable?
Scenic spot foods carry local culture, offer unique tasting experiences, and help tourists remember their trips, but the over-promotion and over-beautification of these foods — exaggerating their flavors, hiding high prices, or making up “must-try” stories — have brought negative impacts on travelers. ___36___
Definitely not. Losing the fun of exploring local foods would make trips less colorful. Here are some tips on making sensible choices to avoid the downsides of over-promotion and enjoy real local flavors.
Check real reviews first.
Over-promotion often relies on polished online posts and paid ads that hide problems. With so many platforms full of exaggerated recommendations, it’s easy to be misled. Look for genuine feedback from ordinary travelers, like comments on non-commercial blogs or recent visitor shares. ___37___
Focus on real needs.
The best way to resist over-promotion is to stick to what you truly want. Though “popular foods” seem attractive, they may not match your taste or budget. That means you can ignore the noisy hype (促销广告) and choose based on your preferences.___38___Why not try a small local eatery loved by locals instead of a crowded “internet-famous” shop, or pick snacks that fit your dietary habits?
___39___
Avoid regret from impulsive (易冲动的) buys by comparing basic information. You’ll know the real price range, avoid overspending on overpriced foods, and get better value for your money — since clear information helps you make wise decisions.
Trying local foods at scenic spots is about enjoying genuine flavors, not chasing exaggerated fame. Do your part to stay away from the trap of over-promotion. ___40___You may be surprised how much more enjoyable your food exploration becomes with a rational mind.
A. Choose based on facts, not hype.
B. So, should we avoid local foods?
C. Can over-promotion be stopped?
D. Compare information before buying.
E. You can still find real local flavors that fit your taste.
F. Consider asking local residents for tips on genuine local food.
G. You’ll save money and avoid disappointment from false promotions.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I used to think history was the most boring subject in high school. To me, it was nothing more than long lists of dates, names, and exam points that felt far removed from real life. While teachers spoke passionately about dynasties and ancient systems, I focused on memorizing just enough to pass tests. Once the exam was over, everything faded from my mind. I believed history belonged to textbooks, not to students like me who worried about rankings and future applications.
That attitude began to change in my second term of senior high school, when China’s visa-free (免签) policy led to a noticeable increase in foreign tourists. Our school received a notice calling for student volunteers to guide international visitors at major landmarks, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I applied mainly because of my English skills and the chance to earn a volunteer certificate (证书), not because I cared about history. Before my first task, we were given training materials filled with historical background. As I leafed through the pages, my old impatience returned. There were too many details, too many unfamiliar terms (术语). Still, I forced myself to prepare, telling myself it was just another task to complete.
On the morning of my first tour, I stood at the foot of the Great Wall with a group of visitors gathering around me. Clouds hung over the mountains, and the stone steps went upward beyond sight. As I began my introduction, my voice sounded nervous and my explanations felt unnatural. But as we climbed higher, questions followed — about why the wall was built along the mountains, who built it, and what it meant to the people who once defended it. Looking out over the endless mountains, I fell into deep thought. For the first time, the answers were no longer lines in the textbook. The stones under my feet felt strong and real. I realized that what I was sharing was not just information, but a story.
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。
I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same.

When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies.
No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications.
When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself.
What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.
24. What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author?
A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers.
B. Students’ false assumptions about learning.
C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life.
D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies.
25. Why does the author bring tires into the classroom?
A. To teach an engineering skill. B. To explain the structure of a car.
C. To share a real-life experience. D. To illustrate a scientific concept.
26. What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method?
A. A higher class attendance rate. B. Better examination results.
C. A closer teacher-student bond. D. More spare time for students.
27. Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher?
A. Innovative. B. Humorous. C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位教师为打破学生对学习的错误认知,将自己的爱好融入课堂教学的经历,介绍了该教学方式的具体实践、初衷,以及意外收获的师生关系升温的效果,最终这一做法成为其教学理念,不仅让课堂更生动,还能启发学生找到自身的兴趣热情。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests (作为一名教师,工作的很大一部分是纠正学生的错误认知。学生们走进教室时,往往认为学习毫无乐趣,所学的知识与现实世界无关,更不用说和他们的个人兴趣相关了)”可知,教师面临的一大挑战是学生对于学习的错误设想,认为学习无趣且和现实、自身兴趣无关。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications (我是一名汽车爱好者,所以教物理时,我会用汽车相关知识为物理概念创设情境。比如讲到摩擦力时,我会把不同的轮胎带到教室,让学生用它们做实验,看看摩擦力在现实生活中是如何起作用的)”可知,作者将轮胎带到教室,是为了借助实物实验,让学生理解摩擦力这一科学概念在现实中的应用,也就是阐释科学概念。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them (起初我把爱好带进课堂时,一心想着这样做能提高学生的课堂参与度,帮助他们理解科学概念,但我很快发现,这种做法还帮助我和学生建立了更紧密的关系)”可知,作者将爱好融入课堂的初衷是提升参与度、帮助学生理解概念,而意外的结果是师生之间的联系变得更加紧密。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据作者打破传统教学模式,主动将自己的汽车爱好融入物理课堂,通过第二段“If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications (例如,如果我们要讨论摩擦,我会把不同的轮胎带到教室里,这样我的学生就可以用它们进行实验室实验,看看摩擦在现实生活中是如何工作的)”和最后一段“What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy.Even when I'm planning classes,I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies.I find that doing so energizes my instruction,engages my students,and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world.Best of all,my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.(最初的尝试如今已演变成一种教学理念。即使在备课的时候,我也会思考如何把爱好融入教学。我发现这样做能让我的课堂更有活力,吸引学生的注意力,并向他们展示抽象概念在现实世界中的具体体现。最重要的是,我对爱好的热情似乎能激励他们满怀热情地去寻找属于自己的兴趣所在)”可知,作者作为教师,敢于创新教学方式,打破学生对学习的固有认知,是富有创新精神的。故选A。
C
Imagine cozying up in your bed after a long day. You scroll through your favorite social media apps for what feels like ten minutes, but then you realize hours have passed. You promise yourself just five more minutes — then it’s 3:00 am. You wake up tired the next morning and go to work dizzy but do the same thing again that night. You know you need the rest, but you still stay up and sacrifice sleep to scroll aimlessly on your smartphone.
If you can relate to this situation, you’re not alone. This phenomenon, called “revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡前拖延症)”, is described as the tendency “to sacrifice sleep for leisure time that is driven by a daily schedule lacking in free time” by the Sleep Foundation.
People who spend most of their waking hours working experience a severe lack of “me time” in which they can be free of responsibilities. Nowadays, some people feel guilty even for resting, so there is a strong desire for uninterrupted personal time.
Some people find that sense of control by doing things often thought of as lazy or a waste of time — for instance, scrolling through social media or watching TV shows. By indulging (沉迷于) in these activities in the hours of the night when the world is asleep, people get a sense of “revenge” and control over how they spend their time.
Revenge bedtime procrastination is experienced differently by various groups, despite being motivated by the same reasons. Parents of young children spend most of their day trying to balance work and childcare, so there is a powerful desire to spend some time alone, free of all obligations. For many parents, this is only possible at night when work hours are over and the kids are asleep.
Likewise, college students with a demanding class schedule, employees in high-stress jobs, and workers who put in a lot of overtime may be particularly influenced by bedtime procrastination.
28. Which of the following best describes the people with “revenge bedtime procrastination”?
A. They often wake up refreshed for work.
B. They usually search to achieve some aims.
C. They often delay their sleep time again and again.
D. They control their time spent on the social media apps.
29. Why do people scroll on the phone late into the night?
A. To pass the long boring time. B. To enjoy the quiet time alone.
C. To gain control of their free time. D. To escape their social responsibilities.
30. Who are not likely to get revenge bedtime procrastination?
A. Workers with a lot of leisure time.
B. Employees busy with stressful jobs.
C. Parents stuck in work and childcare.
D. College students with heavy burdens of study.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why We Lack Sleep B. Why We Stay Up Too Late
C. Why We Are Addicted to Phones D. Why We Choose Scrolling over Sleeping
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要解释了“报复性睡前拖延症”这一现象及其产生的原因和影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“You know you need the rest, but you still stay up and sacrifice sleep to scroll aimlessly on your smartphone.(你知道你需要休息,但你还是熬夜,牺牲睡眠时间,漫无目的地在智能手机上浏览)”以及第二段“This phenomenon, called “revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡前拖延症)”, is described as the tendency “to sacrifice sleep for leisure time that is driven by a daily schedule lacking in free time” by the Sleep Foundation.(这种被称为“报复性睡前拖延症”的现象,被睡眠基金会描述为“由于日常日程缺乏空闲时间而牺牲睡眠时间来休闲的倾向”)”可知,有“报复性睡前拖延症”的人会反复推迟睡觉时间。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Some people find that sense of control by doing things often thought of as lazy or a waste of time — for instance, scrolling through social media or watching TV shows. By indulging (沉迷于) in these activities in the hours of the night when the world is asleep, people get a sense of “revenge” and control over how they spend their time.(有些人通过做一些通常被认为是懒惰或浪费时间的事情来获得这种控制感,比如浏览社交媒体或看电视节目。通过在全世界都入睡的夜晚沉迷于这些活动,人们获得了一种“报复”感,并控制了他们如何支配自己的时间)”可知,人们深夜刷手机是为了获得对空闲时间的控制。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“People who spend most of their waking hours working experience a severe lack of “me time” in which they can be free of responsibilities. Nowadays, some people feel guilty even for resting, so there is a strong desire for uninterrupted personal time.(那些大部分清醒时间都在工作的人,严重缺乏“自我时间”,在这段时间里他们可以摆脱责任。如今,有些人甚至觉得休息都有罪恶感,所以他们强烈渴望不间断的私人时间)”以及第五段“Revenge bedtime procrastination is experienced differently by various groups, despite being motivated by the same reasons. Parents of young children spend most of their day trying to balance work and childcare, so there is a powerful desire to spend some time alone, free of all obligations. For many parents, this is only possible at night when work hours are over and the kids are asleep.(不同群体对报复性睡前拖延症的体验各不相同,尽管动机相同。有小孩的父母一天中的大部分时间都在努力平衡工作和照顾孩子,所以他们强烈渴望有一些独处的时间,摆脱所有的义务。对许多父母来说,只有在晚上工作时间结束,孩子们睡着了,这才有可能)”和第六段“Likewise, college students with a demanding class schedule, employees in high-stress jobs, and workers who put in a lot of overtime may be particularly influenced by bedtime procrastination.(同样,课程安排紧张的大学生、从事高压力工作的员工以及经常加班的工人可能特别容易受到睡前拖延的影响)”可知,有大量空闲时间的工人不太可能产生报复性睡前拖延症。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“This phenomenon, called “revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡前拖延症)”, is described as the tendency “to sacrifice sleep for leisure time that is driven by a daily schedule lacking in free time” by the Sleep Foundation.(这种被称为“报复性睡前拖延症”的现象,被睡眠基金会描述为“由于日常日程缺乏空闲时间而牺牲睡眠时间来休闲的倾向”)”以及全文可知,文章围绕报复性睡前拖延症展开,解释人们为何宁愿刷手机也不睡觉。D选项“为何选择刷手机而非睡觉”精准概括全文核心现象,适合作本文标题。
D
A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet.
Psychologists have categorized these feelings of grief, distress and worry about the current climate emergency — a common occurrence among youth today — under the label of “eco-anxiety”. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “heightened emotional discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system”.
It is predicted that by 2027, eco-anxiety will become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. The reasons are obvious. Scientists estimate that the world is likely to exceed safe levels of temperature rise for the first time by 2030. In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods sweep regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience psychological suffering.
Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will offer a way to tackle the climate crisis head on. Caroline Hickman, a researcher working on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, cautions that the feelings of worry associated with eco-anxiety should not be pathologized (病理化). After all, the cause of this mental concern is external. According to Hickman, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational (理性的) reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can stimulate people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in 2027, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that sponsor them to rapidly phase out the usage of coal, oil, and gas. It’s now clear that not only are they the main contributor to the climate crisis, they are also responsible for the mental health crisis that is starting to affect most of us. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy — we will tackle it by taking action.
32. What is a major factor contributing to the rise of eco-anxiety?
A. The decline in air pollution. B. The decrease in global temperatures.
C. The advances in psychological therapy. D. The increase in climate-related natural disasters.
33. What is Hickman’s suggestion for eco-anxiety?
A. Dismiss it as an irrational fear.
B. Use it as a motivator to protect the planet.
C. See it as natural reactions to environmental changes.
D. Treat it as mental illness that requires professional therapy.
34. What action is expected to be taken to address eco-anxiety?
A. Treating it primarily with psychological therapy.
B. Initiating global climate campaigns to raise awareness.
C. Adopting strategies that focus on ecological sustainability.
D. Rapidly increasing the development of renewable energy sources.

【导语】文章主要讲述了生态焦虑的兴起原因、影响及应对方法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The reasons are obvious. Scientists estimate that the world is likely to exceed safe levels of temperature rise for the first time by 2030. In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods sweep regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience psychological suffering.(原因显而易见。科学家估计,到2030年,全球气温升幅可能首次超过安全水平。近年来,我们看到野火肆虐加拿大和希腊,夏季洪水席卷巴基斯坦近3300万人口的地区。研究表明,受空气污染和气温上升影响的人更容易遭受心理痛苦)”可知,气候相关的自然灾害增加是导致生态焦虑上升的主要因素。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Her suggestion? Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can stimulate people to act in protection of our planet.(她的建议?利用生态焦虑作为一件好事的工具——作为一种可以激励人们采取行动保护我们星球的情绪)”可知,Hickman建议将生态焦虑作为保护地球的驱动力。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This is why, in 2027, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability.(这就是为什么,到2027年,我们还将看到世界各地更多人加入气候正义的斗争,寻求优先考虑环境可持续性的工作)”可知,预计将采取关注生态可持续性的策略来应对生态焦虑。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that sponsor them to rapidly(活动人士将对化石燃料行业和赞助它们的政府施加更大的压力,以迅速)”以及后文“the usage of coal, oil, and gas(煤炭、石油和天然气的使用)”可知,活动人士将对化石燃料行业及其资助的政府施加更大的压力,要求他们迅速减少对煤炭、石油和天然气的使用。故画线词意思是“逐步,逐步停止使用”,即“逐渐减少对其的依赖”。

Over-Promotion of Scenic Spot Foods: How to Stay Reasonable?
Scenic spot foods carry local culture, offer unique tasting experiences, and help tourists remember their trips, but the over-promotion and over-beautification of these foods — exaggerating their flavors, hiding high prices, or making up “must-try” stories — have brought negative impacts on travelers. ___36___
Definitely not. Losing the fun of exploring local foods would make trips less colorful. Here are some tips on making sensible choices to avoid the downsides of over-promotion and enjoy real local flavors.
Check real reviews first.
Over-promotion often relies on polished online posts and paid ads that hide problems. With so many platforms full of exaggerated recommendations, it’s easy to be misled. Look for genuine feedback from ordinary travelers, like comments on non-commercial blogs or recent visitor shares. ___37___
Focus on real needs.
The best way to resist over-promotion is to stick to what you truly want. Though “popular foods” seem attractive, they may not match your taste or budget. That means you can ignore the noisy hype (促销广告) and choose based on your preferences.___38___Why not try a small local eatery loved by locals instead of a crowded “internet-famous” shop, or pick snacks that fit your dietary habits?
___39___
Avoid regret from impulsive (易冲动的) buys by comparing basic information. You’ll know the real price range, avoid overspending on overpriced foods, and get better value for your money — since clear information helps you make wise decisions.
Trying local foods at scenic spots is about enjoying genuine flavors, not chasing exaggerated fame. Do your part to stay away from the trap of over-promotion. ___40___You may be surprised how much more enjoyable your food exploration becomes with a rational mind.
A. Choose based on facts, not hype.
B. So, should we avoid local foods?
C. Can over-promotion be stopped?
D. Compare information before buying.
E. You can still find real local flavors that fit your taste.
F. Consider asking local residents for tips on genuine local food.
G. You’ll save money and avoid disappointment from false promotions.
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. E 39. D 40. G
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了景区食品过度宣传的问题,并给出了避免其负面影响、享受真正地方风味的建议。
【36题详解】
上文“but the over-promotion and over-beautification of these foods — exaggerating their flavors, hiding high prices, or making up ‘must-try’ stories — have brought negative impacts on travelers.(但是,这些食物的过度宣传和过度美化——夸大其味道、隐瞒高价或编造“必尝”故事——给游客带来了负面影响)”说明景区食物的过度宣传和美化给游客带来了负面影响,下文“Definitely not. Losing the fun of exploring local foods would make trips less colorful.(当然不会。失去探索当地美食的乐趣会让旅行变得不那么丰富多彩)”作出否定回答。空处为疑问句,承接上文弊端、引出下文观点。所以B项“那么,我们应该避开当地美食吗?”符合语境。
【37题详解】
上文“Though “popular foods” seem attractive, they may not match your taste or budget. That means you can ignore the noisy hype (促销广告) and choose based on your preferences.(尽管“流行食品”看起来很有吸引力,但它们可能不符合你的口味或预算。这意味着你可以忽略嘈杂的炒作,根据自己的喜好做出选择)”介绍了查找真实游客评价的避雷方法。空处承接上文,补充另一种寻找正宗美食的方式。所以F项“可以考虑向当地居民询问正宗本地美食的建议”符合语境。
【38题详解】
上文“Though ‘popular foods’ seem attractive, they may not match your taste or budget. That means you can ignore the noisy hype (促销广告) and choose based on your preferences.(尽管“流行食品”看起来很有吸引力,但它们可能不符合你的口味或预算。这意味着你可以忽略嘈杂的炒作,根据自己的喜好做出选择)”说明不要被流行食品的炒作所迷惑,要根据自己的喜好和需求来选择,空处顺接前文,说明该做法带来的结果。所以E项“你依旧可以找到贴合自己口味的正宗本地美食”符合语境。
【39题详解】
下文“Avoid regret from impulsive (易冲动的) buys by comparing basic information. You’ll know the real price range, avoid overspending on overpriced foods, and get better value for your money — since clear information helps you make wise decisions.(通过比较基本信息来避免冲动购买带来的遗憾。你会知道真正的价格范围,避免在价格过高的食物上过度消费,并让你的钱得到更好的价值——因为清晰的信息有助于你做出明智的决定)”说明本段主要讲的是购买前要比较信息,空处位于段首,需要概括本段主旨。所以D项“购买前比较信息”符合语境。
【40题详解】
上文“Do your part to stay away from the trap of over-promotion.(尽你的一份力量,远离过度宣传的陷阱)”说明要远离过度宣传的陷阱,下文“You may be surprised how much more enjoyable your food exploration becomes with a rational mind.(你可能会惊讶地发现,用理性的头脑探索食物会变得多么愉快)”讲述理性探店的乐趣。空处承接上文,阐述理性选购的好处。所以G项“你既能省钱,也能避免虚假营销带来的失望”符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍全球首场人形机器人半程马拉松赛事在北京亦庄开赛,讲述赛事流程、机器人专业配置以及赛事对机器人性能测试与应用发展的意义。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:全球首场人形机器人半程马拉松赛事于周六上午在北京亦庄拉开帷幕。固定搭配kick off意为“开始;拉开序幕”,所以此处为介词off。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在人群的欢呼声陪伴下,早上七点半发令枪响,人形机器人选手与人类参赛者一同开跑。此处为非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语the starting gun与accompany之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词accompanied,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:许多观众携带专业拍摄设备来记录这场特殊的赛事。此处为非谓语动词作状语,携带设备的目的是记录赛事,所以用动词不定式to record作目的状语。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:比赛一开始,天工Ultra机器人就率先领跑,展现出十分明显的速度优势。此处修饰形容词clear,需用副词,remarkable的副词形式为remarkably,作状语,意为“显著地”。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这是机器人首次与人类同场赛跑。固定句型This was the first time that...,从句要用过去完成时,所以谓语动词为had raced。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:赛道沿途设置了补给站,团队可在补给站为机器人更换电池、替换机器人以及更换后勤人员。此处引导定语从句,先行词为Supply stations表地点,从句中缺少地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:部分机器人穿戴防护鞋袜,还有的机器人脚部装有耐磨配件以适应复杂路面状况。此处修饰名词footwear,需用形容词作定语,protect的形容词形式为protective意为“防护的”。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:部分机器人穿戴防护鞋袜,还有的机器人脚部装有耐磨配件以适应复杂路面状况。本空作宾语,用名词形式attachment“配件”,此处泛指多种配件,用复数attachments。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这场人形机器人半程马拉松赛事是各大企业机器人的综合性测试平台,它不仅测评产品性能,还展示了机器人更广泛的应用潜力。testing platform为可数名词单数,此处表示“一个综合性测试平台”为泛指,且comprehensive是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:这场人形机器人半程马拉松赛事是各大企业机器人的综合性测试平台,不仅测评产品性能,还展示了机器人更广泛的应用潜力。固定搭配not only...but (also)...意为“不仅……而且……”,所以此处填but。

Dear Jim,
I am writing to share my thoughts regarding the upcoming English Drama Festival. After careful consideration, I firmly support the idea of making a video with AI.
This approach allows students to blend technology with creativity. AI tools can help design imaginative scenes and special effects, making classic stories visually engaging and accessible. Additionally, it encourages collaboration in scriptwriting, digital editing, and problem-solving, which are highly relevant skills today. Furthermore, an AI-assisted video is more flexible to produce and can be easily shared and reviewed. It represents a forward-looking way to learn and present English in a digital age.
I believe this innovative format will make the festival both memorable and educational.
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I used to think history was the most boring subject in high school. To me, it was nothing more than long lists of dates, names, and exam points that felt far removed from real life. While teachers spoke passionately about dynasties and ancient systems, I focused on memorizing just enough to pass tests. Once the exam was over, everything faded from my mind. I believed history belonged to textbooks, not to students like me who worried about rankings and future applications.
That attitude began to change in my second term of senior high school, when China’s visa-free (免签) policy led to a noticeable increase in foreign tourists. Our school received a notice calling for student volunteers to guide international visitors at major landmarks, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I applied mainly because of my English skills and the chance to earn a volunteer certificate (证书), not because I cared about history. Before my first task, we were given training materials filled with historical background. As I leafed through the pages, my old impatience returned. There were too many details, too many unfamiliar terms (术语). Still, I forced myself to prepare, telling myself it was just another task to complete.
On the morning of my first tour, I stood at the foot of the Great Wall with a group of visitors gathering around me. Clouds hung over the mountains, and the stone steps went upward beyond sight. As I began my introduction, my voice sounded nervous and my explanations felt unnatural. But as we climbed higher, questions followed — about why the wall was built along the mountains, who built it, and what it meant to the people who once defended it. Looking out over the endless mountains, I fell into deep thought. For the first time, the answers were no longer lines in the textbook. The stones under my feet felt strong and real. I realized that what I was sharing was not just information, but a story.
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。
I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
Paragraph 1:
I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. Instead of listing dates, I described how the wall was built along the mountains to follow the land, which saved effort and strengthened defense. Pointing to the stones under our feet, I explained that their weight marked the efforts of ordinary people who guarded this border centuries ago. As I spoke, my voice steadied, and the visitors slowed their steps, listening attentively. It was then that I felt a quiet change inside me: I was no longer repeating facts, but sharing meaning.
Paragraph 2:
That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same. I didn’t rush to underline and memorize exam points; instead, I searched for the stories behind each event and connected them with the places I had visited. Only when history stepped out of the textbook and into real life did it become meaningful to me. Had I never guided those visitors, I might still have treated history as questions on the exam paper. It was history that helped me understand who we are and why it matters to tell our story well.
