In helping to revive its roots,I had discovered my own.(我终于明白，我的成长不是逃离这片土地，而 是去丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁链，它成了我的画布。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中，我也找到了 自己的根。)”可知，作者在葡萄园里实现了自我价值，找到了成长的方向，因此canvas(画布)象征 着实现个人潜能与价值的平台。故选D项。 【27题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的For years,.I viewed my grandfather's vineyard as a chain tying me to a forgotten past.(多年来，我一直把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让我 困在被遗忘过去的锁链。)”和最后一段中的The vineyard was no longer my chair,it had become my canvas.(葡萄园不再是束缚我的锁链，它成了我的画布。)可知，文章以作者对葡萄园的情感变化 为线索，从一开始视其为束缚自己的锁链，到最后将其看作施展自我的画布，完整展现了作者在葡 萄园中的成长历程，因此“从锁链到画布：我在葡萄园里的成长”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳 标题。故选A项。 C篇【答案】28-31CCAB 28.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Historically,these sea snails lived only in the warm waters of Southern California and Mexico.However,in recent years,some have moved 300 kilometers north,to much colder waters,and scientists wanted to find out if they had truly adapted to the colder northern environment..(从历史上看，这些海螺只生活在加利福尼亚州南部和墨西哥的温暖水域中。然而， -1- 近年来，一些海螺向北迁移了300公里，来到了更为寒冷的水域。科学家们想要弄清楚它们是否 真的适应了更寒冷的北方环境。)”可知，这种海螺原本生活在南加州和墨西哥暖水区，近年向北 迁移300公里到冷水域，即栖息地发生了迁移变化。故选C项。 29.细节理解题。根据第二段中They brought all the snails to a special tank and kept them in controlled conditions.The adult snails were allowed to have babies.Scientists then studied the babies' DNA because they had spent their entire lives in the same environment,making sure any observed differences were due to their genes,not their life experiences..(他们将所有海螺带到一个特殊的水箱 中，并在可控的条件下饲养它们。成年海螺被允许繁殖后代。随后，科学家们研究了幼崽的 DNA,因为它们一生都在相同的环境中生活，从而确保观察到的任何差异都是由基因决定的，而 非生活经历所致。)”可知，研究幼螺DNA是为了确保差异源于基因，而非生活环境/经历，也就 是排除环境因素的干扰。故选C项。 30.词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线单词后文if their genes hadn't changed,the researchers wouldn't have been able to tell the snails apart..(如果它们的基因没有发生变化，研究人员就无法区分这些蜗 牛。)”由此可知，这种适应过程涉及基因突变。故可猜测划线单词mutations为“突变”的意思，和 A选项Changes in the DNA.DNA的变化”意思相近。故选A项。 31.推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章的文本结构为现象：海螺栖息地北移；方法：对比南北海 螺幼体DNA;发现：北方海螺出现显著基因差异；意义：助力理解海洋生物适应气候变化。即 现象一方法一发现一意义的结构。故选B项。 D篇【答案】32-35ADBC 32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“But as climate change causes more severe droughts,some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows.(但随着气候变化导致更严重的千 旱，一些奶制品生产商正在转向使用玉米等替代饲料来喂养奶牛。)”可知，选择替代饲料的根本 原因是气候变化。故选A。 33.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“For almost five months,.Bouchon and colleagues at France's National Research Institute for Agriculture,Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts.The researchers regularly sampled the cows'milk and analyzed its fatty acids,.proteins,.and beneficial microbes((在近五个月的时间里， Bo1©on和他在法国国家农业、食品和环境研究所的同事们通过创造千燥条件并以不同量的玉米 补充草料，对两个品种的40头奶牛进行了测试。研究人员定期采集牛奶样本，分析其中的脂肪 酸、蛋白质和有益微生物)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究的实验设计和方法。故选D。 34.推理判断题。根据第四段中The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane(研究小组发现，以玉米为主的饲料并未减少牛奶产 量，甚至导致甲烷的估计减少)”可知，以玉米为主的饲料可能使牛奶产量保持不变或有所增加， 而methane(甲烷)”的排放量是减少的。又根据第四段中However,.cheese from grass--fed cows was richer and more flavorful(然而，草饲奶牛的奶酪更丰富、更美味)”和‘Grass--based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids(以草为基础的饮食也导致奶酪含有更多对心脏 有益的omega-3脂肪酸)”可知，1avor(风味)”和Omega-3是草饲的优势。因此，相对于草饲，玉 米饲料可能维持或增加的方面是Yield of milk(产奶量)”。故选B。 35.推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段It is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows'diets, which in turn affect cheese's nutritional value and sensory qualities(令人难以置信的是，气候变化会影 响奶牛的饮食，进而影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质)”可知，文章介绍了气候变化导致干旱，迫 使法国奶牛场主改用玉米饲料，研究发现这会影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质，并探讨了不同饲 料对奶酪的影响。因此，本文的目的是为了解释气候变化对奶酪的影响。故选C。 七选五【答案】36-40 CFEBD 36.由上文Nostalgia一the warm feeling of longing for the past-一is everywhere in today's culture. -2- Movies like Barbie,Indiana Jones,and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back

the Institute of Psychology,CAS,nostalgia creates feelings of warmth,belonging,and even a mental escape to the past.During tough times -whether personal struggles or global crises-nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net.Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.(据中国科学院心理研究所杨 紫嫣教授介绍，怀旧之情会让人产生温暖、归属感，甚至是一种精神上对过去的逃避。在艰难时期 无论是个人困境还是全球性危机一怀旧都如同一道情感安全网。电影和音乐是强大的怀旧 触发因素，因为它们能重现熟悉的情感和经历。)可知，本空需体现“表面现象”与“深层作用”的转 折。F选项However,psychology experts say there's more to it.(然而，心理学专家表示，事情远不止 于此。)既转折上文“简单的表面感受”，又引出下文专家对怀旧深层意义的解读，符合逻辑。故选 F。 38.First,it gives us a sense of control.Even when life feels unpredictable,reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure.Second,.nostalgia strengthens social bonds.(首先，它给我们一 种控制感。即使生活感觉不可预测，回顾过去也能让我们感到更加踏实和安全。其次，怀旧加强了 社会联系。)”可知，本段说明怀旧带心理上的满足。E选项Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.(怀旧也满足关键的心理需求。)”直接概括了下文的内容，起到了引领下文的作用。故选E。 39.What does nostalgia do to our brains?Mostly good things!Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity,and energy by activating positive emotions.(怀旧对我们的大脑有什么影响？大部分都是好 东西！研究表明，它通过激活积极情绪来提高幸福感、创造力和能量。)”及下文This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals..(这种年轻的乐观心态鼓励我们冒险、追求目 标。)”可知，本空应继续解释怀旧对大脑的影响，强调怀旧能让人们感觉年轻乐观。B选项Itcn even make us feel younger and more optimistic.(它甚至能让我们感觉更年轻、更乐观。)”能承上启下， 且句中younger and more optimistic”与下文This youthful optimism”相照应。故选B。 40.But can too much nostalgia be harmful?In small amounts,it's healthy.However,if we think about the past too much,it can keep us from moving forward.The key is balance-enjoying memories without losing sight of the present.(但太多的怀旧会有害吗？少量摄入是健康的。然而，如果我们过 多地思考过去，它可能会阻碍我们前进。关键在于平衡一在不忽视当下的情况下享受回忆。)”及 下文“It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.(它帮助我们重新连接真 实的自我，记住自己的本质。)”可知，本空需回归“怀旧的整体积极属性”，引出下文对其正面作用 的补充。D选项Stil,in general,.nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.(不过，总的来说，怀旧 是生活中自然且积极的一部分。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 第三部分语言运用 完形填空【答案】41-45 ABCCD46-50

After two weeks ofjoint efforts,the conumity took on a brand-new look.The shelter provided a safe home for the cats,and volunteers fed them on time without leaving any leftover food.The cooperation between animal lovers and other residents eliminated the conflict completely.No more flies gathered around the gate,and the cats no longer wandered into yards randomly.Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well,I felt proud of what we'd achieved.It turned out that every problem could be solved with kindness and joint efforts. 【写作解析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名喜爱动物的高中生，长期喂养小区里的流 浪猫，后来越来越多邻居参与投喂，导致环境变差、邻里矛盾激化，大家对流浪猫的态度两极分化。 在小区管理员的启发下，作者决定提出一个兼顾流浪猫和邻居利益的解决方案，希望化解冲突、救 助流浪猫。 【详解】①由第一段首句内容“李女士称赞了我的计划，并同意帮我付诸实践。”可知，第一段可描 写实践的具体内容以及邻居们的支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过两周的共同努力，社区焕然一新。”可知，第二段可描写小窝为社区生活 带来的变化以及作者的感悟。 2续写线索：开会阐述想法—邻居表示支持—小窝带来积极影响—作者感到自豪—感悟 -6、 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explair/account for ②捐赠：donate/give away ③展示：show/display (④照顾：take care of/attend to 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②对...感到自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 听力录音原文 第一部分听力 Text 1 W:(1)Do you train for the basketball game after school,Allen?

To see how the technology can change the world around us,here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building. Instant Neighborhood Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco,Mexico,aimed at tackling global homelessness.American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours.New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world. Nested Housing Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP.This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy.Its round designs are based on the wasp( )nest.Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture,artistic objects and more. Think Schools African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world's most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access 试卷第2页，共8页 to education.Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week. Concrete Steps Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days.The project used500 layers of concrete and53 hollow blocks,held in place by compression().This reduces materials by up to 70 percent,and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled. 21 What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing?

Marcos,who was studying sports science at the University of Sao Paulo,was heartbroken.For the first several days,he lay in the hospital bed and thought about how to deal with the rest of his life.In the end,he chose not to give in.With the support of his family and coaches,he began a long and hard process.Every day,he received physical treatment,relearning basic movements."It was the darkest time of my life,"he said. Slowly,Marcos made progress.He found adaptive cycling,which uses specially designed bikes for disabled athletes.With a newfound hope,he combined his study with intense training on his adapted bike.His professors encouraged him,providing flexible study schedules so he could focus on recovery and training. There were days when pain made training unbearable,and self-doubt threatened to beat him.But he pushed through,inspired by his love for the sport. Coach Oliveira,who had trained Marcos for years,was amazed by his performance."Marcos proves that if you have the courage to keep going,nothing is impossible,"he stated. This year,Marcos made a remarkable comeback at the South American Adaptive Cycling Championships. Though he didn't win,his presence on track was a victory in itself."I'm hack the bike,that's all that matter.If my story can give hope to others facing similar problems,that would mean everything,"Marcos shared. 24.What happened to Marcos last year? A.He suffered serious leg injuries. B.He took a totally different career path. C.He performed worse than expected. D.He won the national cycling championship. 25 How did Marcos originally react to his injury? A.He decided to give up cycling. B.He turned to his family and coaches. C.He was at a loss what to do.

C NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s,including the first woman and the next man.Unlike the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s,which focused on short stays,Artemis plans to establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.The Gateway-a small space station orbiting the Moon-will serve as a hub for astronauts traveling to and from the lunar surface and deeper space. One of the key goals is to explore the Moon's south pole,where scientists believe there may be frozen water in permanently shadowed craters().This water could be used for drinking,growing food,and even producing rocket fuel.Additionally,the lunar surface offers a unique environment for testing technologies needed for future missions to Mars and beyond.The low gravity ()-and lack of atmosphere make it an ideal place to test new spacecraft,life support systems,and radiation shielding. Critics argue that the cost of such programs is too high,with billions of dollars spent on space exploration while many issues on Earth remain unsolved.However,supporters point out that space research has led to numerous technological advancements that benefit daily life,such as GPS,medical imaging,and improved water purification systems.They also believe that expanding humanity's presence in space is essential for the long-term survival of our species. 28.What is the main difference between the Artemis program and the Apollo missions? A.Artemis will send more astronauts to the Moon. B.Artemis plans for long-term human presence on the Moon. C.Artemis focuses on scientific experiments rather than exploration. D.Artemis aims to land on the Moon's far side 29 Why is the Moon's south pole a key exploration target? A.It has the most favorable landing conditions. B.It may contain frozen water which is highly valuable. C.It is the closest area to Earth on the Moon. D.It has been unexplored by previous missions. 30.What is the author's attitude towards space exploration? A.Critical of its high costs. B.Doubtful about its practical benefits. C.Supportive of its long-term value. D.Neutral without personal opinion. 31.What can be inferred from the passage? A.The Artemis program will be completed by 2025. B.Water on the Moon has already been confirmed. C.Space technologies often have practical Earth applications. D.Mars will be the next target after the Apollo missions. D Imagine walking through a garden after sunset.We don't need to turn the outdoor lights on;the space is 试卷第4页，共8页 already lit by a soft glow (from common houseplants along the path.Now,researchers have taken a step toward making that seene a-feality. A team of scientists at South China Agricultural University has managed to create succulents ()that glow in the dark.They injected the plants with strontium aluminate ()the same material used in glow-in-the-dark stars children sometimes stick to their bedroom ceilings.This material can naturally absorb sunlight or LED light and release it slowly and steadily.Moreover,they found that the succulents can glow in multiple different colors,forming a rainbow of lights-even in the same succulent. The scientists experimented with various plants,including bok choy and golden pothos,but found that succulents were uniquely suitable.They produced a strong glow due to their leaves'thin,uniform,and evenly distributed channels,which enabled the large particles to spread more successfully.The researchers even constructed a glowing wall with 56 succulent plants,which could light nearby objects and even enable them to read a text. After being recharged,each succulent glowed for about two hours.However,their glow diminished overtime. So.the next step is to improve the longevity of the plants'glow.The researchers also note that the impact of the injected particles on the plants'long-term health is still unclear,so further safety testing will be required. "In the world of Avatar,glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem.We want to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab,"says Shuting Liu,first author of the research.The team hopes their work,which is still in the early phases,will one day pave the way for a novel sustainable lighting system. "Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights,"Liu adds. 32.What do we knew about the glow-in-the-dark sueculents? A.They can change into different colors. B.They can recharge with exposure to light. C.They rely mainly on sunlight for energy. D.They need to be planted in special soil 33.What made succulents perform better than other plants in the experiment? A.Their unique leaf structures. B.Their strong root systems C.Their ability to absorb light. D.Their resistance to chemicals. 34.What does the underlined word "diminished"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.appeared. B.remained. C.brightened. D.weakened 35.What can we expect of the new lighting technology? A.It will provide a sustainable lighting solution. B.It will become affordable for most people. C.It will be applied in various fields soon. D.It will revolutionize traditional lighting systems. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Travel Like a Local Traveling is more than just visiting famous places.It's about connecting with the culture and feeling part of the place you visit.36.Here are some simple ways to make your trip more authentic and meaningful.

One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest.First prize was $100,and I knew just how I would spend it.There was a brand-new game I was dying to own.So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I'd picked out,it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I'd surely screw it up ()I thought of Brian's smaller,delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job.I immediately begged Brian.Unexpectedly,he asked for a cut.That was fifty-fifty.Quickly doing the math in my head,I figured out even if I split the first prize,I'd still have enough cash for the game.So I gave in to Brian's demands.With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face,and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened:We came in second.Unfortunately,second prize was only $50,and I needed every penny of that to buy the game.The day of the awards ceremony,the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home,sick with cold. If he really wanted to win,he would have been here today,I thought to myself,justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian's runny nose.With hardly a thought,I ran to the store and bought my dream game.That night when Brian asked if we had won,I denied,afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college.I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. "You actually knew and didn't say anything?"I was shocked.
