Jen Adams Beason, a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana, witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn’t like, or an invention that they wish had never seen the light of day. Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone. With dozens of notifications (通知) from apps, emails, and social media updates, it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes. Jen shared a boy’s essay on her Facebook page. “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. That is an invention that I don’t like.” The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying “I hate it,” looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it. “I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created. Out of 21 students, 4 of them wrote about this topic. # getoffyourphone # listentoyourkids,” Jen posted on her Facebook wall. Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times. It received dozens of eye-opening comments. “That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,” Tracy Jenkins posted. Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing. Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health. Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around. 24. What did Jen find through the writing task? A. Parents’ overuse of their phones. B. Parents’ dislike of their children. C. Children’s resistance to social media. D. Children’s poor performance in writing. 25. The boy included a picture in his essay to show ______. A. his great drawing skills B. his desire for a smartphone C. his strong negative emotions D. his insight into online interaction 26. Which word best describes the author’s tone in the passage? A. Critical and concerned B. Doubtful and curious C. Casual and humorous D. Strict and warning 27. What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph? A. Draw a conclusion. B. Provide evidence. C. Put forward a proposal. D. Call for reflection. C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 28. What are cities like DC trying to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings. C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home. 29. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 30. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life D Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as the “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba”, 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than 3 minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under 1 minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki”, the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 32. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 33. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration duration. D. Matching accuracy. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 35. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. 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。 Allergies (过敏) have become more common over the last 30 years. 36 Half of these sufferers are children. Allergy is a reaction that occurs when the immune system, which produces substances to help your body fight infection and disease, has a strange and unnecessary reaction to a normally harmless substance, such as seafood or peanuts. To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again. 37 The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous. An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction). 38 What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This leads to the signs of an allergy, such as swelling, rashes, sneezing, sore eyes, and breathlessness. Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies. They are more likely to develop allergies. 39 . At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics (抗生素) have reduced our immune systems’ work. Thus spare energy may be directed to harmless substances such as strawberries. A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. 40 They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future. A. This work is done by antibodies. B. The most severe allergic reaction must be treated immediately. C. Sufferers may be given medicine to control the signs of illness. D. Now, one-third of us are affected by an allergy at some point in our lives. E. The antibody then attaches itself to cells, which contain certain chemicals. F. There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics. G. Sometimes, people can eat nuts for years and suddenly become allergic to them. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At 22, I read about an opening to be a motorcycle stunt (特技表演) rider.

The event, known as the “HIT-Cambridge-Oxford Cup,” 57 (bring) together 14 teams, including those from Oxford, Cambridge and Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), as well as universities from Hong Kong and Macao. 58 traditional water dragon boating, this ice dragon boating requires athletes to use ice picks to push their boats forward on solid ice, a task demanding great upper body strength. Edward Townsend from Cambridge described the race as a fantastic experience, 59 (admit) it was the first time that they had tried dragon boat racing on ice and that adapting to the cold climate 60 (be) no easy task. With guidance provided by HIT 61 (coach), however, his team gradually mastered the skills and secured the first prize in the race. Besides the 62 (compete), participants also enjoyed various cultural activities, visiting the Harbin Ice-Snow World, feeding Siberian tigers 63 experiencing local cuisine. Organizers hope that the friendship race will provide 64 useful platform for youth exchanges between China and Britain, as well as an important link for universities 65 (expand) cooperation and jointly develop talent. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假设你是李华，你所在的“国际青年文化论坛”正在举办“年度匠心人物（Craftsman of the Year）”评选活动。组委会邀请你担任学生颁奖嘉宾并撰写一篇英文颁奖词，请从以下获奖的中国工匠中任选一位完成写作。 内容包括：1．表示祝贺；2．获奖原因。 人物 身份 主要事迹 王津 钟表修复师 深耕数十年，修复数百件宫廷文物。 刘小松 非遗传承人 数十年坚守传承千年打铁花技艺，守护民俗文脉永续。 李晓宝 航天精密技师 坚守航天一线三十余年，造出数万件完美航天关键部件。 参考词汇： ●钟表修复师a clock restorer ●非遗传承人an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage; ●航天精密技师a technician in aerospace precision machining; ●打铁花技艺the craft of Iron Flower 注意：1．写作词数应为80个左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s my great honor to stand here and present the Craftsman of the Year award to _________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Olly Powell’s seventh birthday wish to become invisible came true a week later with the birth of his sister, Lily. The power felt like a brilliant secret. He could slip into the kitchen for an extra biscuit unnoticed, and he loved listening from the hallway as his parents chatted about “that little mouse.” It was magic! However, the joy was gone when Lily finally came home from the hospital. The reality was nothing like he had expected. Now, he often stood invisible in the hall. His request for swimming lessons was gently declined by his parents, who were busy with Lily. Being a big brother was the worst thing in the world. A deep sense of being unseen settled in his heart. Feeling left out, he made a decision. “I bet they’d love to see me at school,” he thought. He struggled to open the front door and stepped outside. The street was quiet in the morning. He walked on, each step heavy with a desperate, unspoken hope that someone would finally see him and call him back. His journey ended when a sharp bark from Mrs. Cooper’s little dog, Teddy, made him look up. “Olly? You aren’t here on your own, are you?” Mrs. Cooper called out, her kind face filled with concern. She led him gently into her garden and phoned his father. To pass the time while waiting, Mrs. Cooper showed Olly the incubator (孵化箱) where several eggs were kept. When he pointed out a fine crack (细微裂缝) on one of them, she explained it was a promising sign. “A baby bird is getting ready to come out. They’re so small, so fragile (脆弱的).” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just then, a faint sound came from the cracked shell. Paragraph 2: Minutes later,Dad and Mum arrived,with Lily asleep in her pram (婴儿车). 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
