After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin-an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge-my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline. The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too-leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution-and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 24. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired. 25. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ______. A. elderly people have a failing memory B. modern machines are poorly designed C. technology changes seniors’ living habits D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life 26. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 27. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. D At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits. We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. A study found people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 32. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to people’s health. B. It helps people to avoid boredom. C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment. 33. What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate? A. Phone addiction is avoidable. B. Daydreaming is undervalued. C. Being alone promotes learning. D. Self-reflection defines humans. 34. What does the default mode suggest? A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind D. Explore Secret Benefits of Social Daydreaming 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。 Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife.   36 Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. 37 For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together. Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk.   38   It is like giving yourself the support a friend would. 39 “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time. In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. 40 As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are. A. However, we do it less as we grow older. B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated. C. Here are some ways to put it into practice. D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess. E. It can be useful in many different situations in life. F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable. G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 I had many adventures as a child, but one stands out on the local football pitch at Pacaembu, Brazil, the legendary cradle of football geniuses.

Tadd says, “Compared with The Analects of Confucius, which 57 (root) in the traditions and rules of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), The Tao Te Ching does not involve specific names, places,   58   social systems.” This quality allows it to go beyond cultural boundaries and speak directly to universal human concerns. Tadd’s connection with The Tao Te Ching began at the age of 14, when he came 59 an English edition in a small-town library in the United States. That chance encounter sparked 60 one-of-a-kind interest in Chinese culture. Years later, while 61 (study) a Latin translation of The Republic by Plato, Tadd wondered if The Tao Te Ching could also be translated into Latin. His search eventually led him to the British Library, 62 he discovered a Latin manuscript of the text, translated by early missionaries. He discovered parts of the manuscript were faded and 63 (complete), and it was not until 2022 that he obtained a full digital scan of the work. He spent a long time transcribing, comparing, and annotating the text word by word. “It requires enduring   64   (patient),” Tadd says. The thought system of The Tao Te Ching is grounded in China, but its interpretation and influence are now   65 (true) global. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（15分） 66．假定你是李华，近期，你观察到教室内课桌污损严重，整洁的桌面布满了乱涂乱画的痕迹。为此，你将在英语课上以“爱护公物”为主题，做一分钟左右的演讲。请写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1．描述具体现象； 2．呼吁爱护公物。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear teacher and classmates, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（25分） 67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 In 2005, my husband Meherwan and I took a leap of faith. We moved with our 3-year-old daughter, Aria, from the bustling streets of San Francisco to Asheville, a small Appalachian town. To me, relocating from a major international city to the mountains seemed like a “wild experiment”, filled with the unknown. However, Asheville quickly got its hooks into us. We opened a restaurant, and soon discovered that life here felt “real”. During a local festival, I watched Aria run to embrace a stranger of her age, while around them, punk-rock cooks and elderly people from all walks of life held hands in a community dance. I realized then that people moved here to rediscover community and look out for each other. We had found our “forever roots” in this unique haven of openness and tolerance. But our bond was tested on September 27, 2024, when Hurricane Helene struck with record-breaking quantities of rain. We awoke to a world of utter devastation. Ankle-deep streams had turned into wild rivers, smashing homes and businesses. The ruin was complete: roads were washed out, power lines were down, and we were cut off from the rest of the world. No cell service, no Internet, no running water — only the frightening silence of isolation. Refusing to sit still and grieve, Meherwan and I gathered a small crew at our restaurant. We had thrived here for nineteen years, and now it was time to give back. By the second day, we began cooking for our neighbors, despite the lack of resources. We weren’t just serving food; we were trying to sustain the spirit of our town. While we were busy in the kitchen, I looked up to see a group of kids wandering in on their bikes. They weren’t looking for a handout but rather to give a hand. With their boots covered in mud, they stood ready. “We want to help,” one of them said firmly. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 I nodded and assigned the young volunteers to the sandwich station. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, similar scenes of support were playing out all over the city. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
