A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了亚洲多场马拉松的相关信息及参赛注意事项。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，第一段介绍了亚洲马拉松的整体情况“Asia offers a wide range of marathon events across different countries and regions. These races are held in urban centers as well as in areas of cultural and natural significance.(亚洲在不同国家和地区举办各种各样的马拉松赛事，这些赛事既有在城市中心举办的，也有在具有文化和自然意义的地区举办的)”，表格列出了四场马拉松的具体信息，最后给出参赛注意事项，可知本文旨在提供亚洲马拉松的相关信息。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据表格信息，demanding routes对应表格中“Rolling(起伏的)”或“Hilly(多山的)”，shortest race指最短距离赛事(5km)。对比四场马拉松：The Great Wall of China Marathon 有5km项目且赛道为Rolling(起伏的)，Almaty Marathon、Cappadocia Marathon Turkey 无5km项目，Songkhla Marathon 5km项目赛道为Flat(平坦的)，符合“最短赛事+更具挑战性赛道”的是The Great Wall of China Marathon。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Things To Think About中“Make sure that you are making accommodations through reputable sites for travel.(确保你通过信誉良好的旅游网站预订住宿)”可知，建议参赛者在参赛前从可信的网站预订酒店。故选A。 B When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡Ramsgate去伦敦打拼，历经挑战后回到家乡，重新认识并爱上家乡的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. (当我年轻的时候，我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特，这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇。它可能会让人觉得很小：同样的面孔出现在同样的地方，一个新的咖啡馆或画廊常常会遭到质疑。显然，人们坚持认为生活本该如此。但对于一个渴望看到更多的青少年来说，这种缺乏好奇心是令人沮丧的)”可知，作者想要离开拉姆斯盖特是因为这个地方无法满足他探索的欲望。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. (但现实是残酷的。在杂志和报纸工作之前，我努力为各种日报撰稿)”和第三段中“In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. (在一顿顿分食小碟菜的聚餐间隙，我发现自己陷入了一场永无止境的激烈竞争，要更快地行动，需要赚更多的钱，只是为了跟上节奏。伦敦的房租压力很大，公寓很小，但拥有一个公寓的梦想感觉就像一个残酷的玩笑)”可知，作者在伦敦的生活充满了挑战。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. (当我年轻的时候，我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特，这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇)”和第四段“As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. (随着年龄的增长，回到萨尼特岛的旅行让我看清了自己留下的东西。主要是大海。宽阔的黄色沙滩，甚至空气中盐的味道，在童年时很普通，突然变得吸引人。但我也开始怀念小镇生活的节奏：向街上的人挥手，注意谁的花园杂草丛生，甚至在我曾经不屑一顾的酒吧里也能找到魅力。更重要的是，我曾经匆匆离开的地方，现在别人却急着来。艺术家、创意人士和科技人员因为伦敦的高房价而离开，纷纷涌向萨尼特岛，带来了新的想法和动力。现在，当我回到家乡时，我感到既自豪又有些惊讶：我曾经以为自己早已超越、已经不再适合的地方，却有了意想不到的改头换面)”可知，作者对Thanet的情感随着时间的推移从最初的排斥转变为后来的重新连接和热爱。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. (每一次到访都提醒我，地方和人一样，可以在不失去本质的情况下成长。我已经不再仅仅把萨尼特岛当作我离开的家;它现在是它继续成为的地方)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡去伦敦打拼，历经挑战后回到家乡，重新认识并爱上家乡的故事，表达了作者对家乡和自身成长的深刻感悟。故D项“A Growing Place, a Growing Me(一个成长的地方，一个成长的我)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 C Coca-Cola will be using over 4.1 billion kilograms of plastic a year by the year 2030, unless it stops using single-use plastic, according to a report from the conservation organization Oceana. Oceana also estimates that by 2030, an annual 602 million kilograms of Coca-Cola’s plastic packaging will be polluting the world’s oceans and waterways. The report says that this is enough plastic to fill the stomachs of 18 million blue whales. Oceana made its estimates using Coca-Cola’s own reported data on its use of plastic packaging between 2018 and 2023, and a forecast of the company’s future sales growth based on past trends. A 2024 study found that Coca-Cola is already the world’s worst plastic-polluting brand. Oceana says the problem is Coca-Cola’s use of single-use plastic instead of reusable packaging. Reusable bottles can be used up to 25 times if made of thicker plastic, and up to 50 times if made of glass. Coca-Cola previously had a goal of using 25% reusable packaging by 2030, but announced that it had given up that goal at the end of 2024. Instead, the company says it will increase the use of recycled plastic in its packaging and increase collection of single-use plastic bottles for further recycling. However, Oceana says that relying on the use of recycled materials and collection of plastic for recycling won’t reduce the great influence of Coca-Cola’ s plastic footprint. The organization’s Senior Vice President Matt Littlejohn said: “Single-use plastic is bad for the oceans, human health, and business. Recycling can’t solve the company’s out-of-control plastic problem. Reuse can.” He added, “Single-use plastic bottles made with recycled content can — just like bottles made of virgin plastic — still become marine pollution and harm ocean life.” As well as harming sea life, plastic use is also harmful for human health. Several studies have connected plastic pollution and microplastics to serious health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease and dementia. Oceana suggests Coca-Cola should take real action that can address its plastic problem now, namely replacing single-use packaging with reusable packaging. 28. What was Coca-Cola’s original plan for 2030? A. To use 25% reusable packaging. B. To stop all plastic bottle production. C. To recycle 100% of its plastic waste. D. To replace plastics with glass bottles. 29. What is Oceana’s attitude toward Coca-Cola’s recycled plastic policy? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Reserved. D. Indifferent. 30. What can we infer according to Matt Littlejohn? A. Blue whales are the most affected by plastic waste. B. Reusable packaging is a better solution than recycling. C. Microplastics mainly come from non-recycled bottles. D. Coca-Cola’s new plan will solve plastic pollution effectively. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. How to Stop Ocean Pollution. B. Coca-Cola’s New Reusable Plan. C. A Growing Threat of Plastic Bottles. D. Coca-Cola’s Plastic Pollution Problem. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了保护组织Oceana的报告指出可口可乐公司塑料污染问题严重，分析原因并建议其用可重复使用包装取代一次性包装。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Coca-Cola previously had a goal of using 25% reusable packaging by 2030, but announced that it had given up that goal at the end of 2024.(可口可乐此前的目标是到2030年使用25%的可重复使用包装，但在2024年底宣布放弃了这一目标)”可知，可口可乐2030年的原计划是使用25%的可重复使用包装。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, Oceana says that relying on the use of recycled materials and collection of plastic for recycling won’t reduce the great influence of Coca-Cola’s plastic footprint.(然而，Oceana表示，依靠使用回收材料和收集塑料进行回收利用，并不能减少可口可乐塑料足迹的巨大影响)”可知，Oceana认为可口可乐的回收塑料政策不能解决问题，所以会对其持批判态度。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Matt Littlejohn认的话“Single-use plastic is bad for the oceans, human health, and business. Recycling can’t solve the company’s out of control plastic problem. Reuse can.(一次性塑料对海洋、人类健康和企业都有害。回收利用无法解决该公司失控的塑料问题。重复使用可以)”和“Single-use plastic bottles made with recycled content can — just like bottles made of virgin plastic — still become marine pollution and harm ocean life.(用回收材料制成的一次性塑料瓶——就像用原生塑料制成的瓶子一样——仍然会污染海洋，危害海洋生物)”可知，Matt Littlejohn认为回收利用无法解决失控的塑料问题，用回收材料制成的塑料制品仍然会污染海洋，危害海洋生物，所以可重复使用包装是更好的解决方案。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Coca-Cola will be using over 4.1 billion kilograms of plastic a year by the year 2030, unless it stops using single-use plastic, according to a report from the conservation organization Oceana.(保护组织Oceana的一份报告称，到2030年，可口可乐每年将使用超过41亿公斤的塑料，除非它停止使用一次性塑料)”和第三段中“Oceana says the problem is Coca-Cola’s use of single-use plastic instead of reusable packaging.(Oceana表示，问题在于可口可乐使用一次性塑料而不是可重复使用的包装)”可知，本文主要围绕可口可乐的塑料污染问题展开，分析了原因并建议其用可重复使用包装取代一次性包装。故D项“Coca-Cola’s Plastic Pollution Problem(可口可乐的塑料污染问题)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 D For a long time, psychologists believed in “catharsis theory,” or the idea that it’s better to release negative emotions than hold onto them. But back in 2002, Brad Bushman, a professor of communication at the Ohio State University, published a study that questioned that logic, saying that venting (发泄) “is the worst thing you can do” when you’ re mad and it’s “adding more fuel to the fire.” Focusing on a frustrating conversation can blow out of proportion relatively minor annoyances, which is unhealthy, says Jesse Cougle, a psychology professor studying anger at Florida State University. The problem is that when you’re furious (愤怒的), it feels better to shout angrily than it does to take some centering deep breaths. Bushman has seen that in his research. Even though activities like hitting a punching bag don’t actually lessen anger, “75% of people report feeling better” after they do it, he says. The same is often true for venting to a friend. It feels great to have someone support your perspective. Can something that feels so good really be so wrong? Bushman says it’s not always a bad thing to get something off your chest. Talking through a negative feeling with the goal of understanding why something bothered you and how to better respond in the future, such as with a therapist, can be beneficial, he says. But venting becomes less helpful, Cougle says, when it’s mean-spirited—when you repeat the same thing you’ve done many times, keeping yourself stuck in that past anger without trying to move past it. When you feel yourself getting stuck in the trap of venting, look for healthier coping strategies. If yoga and meditation aren’t your thing, try a quick shift in perspective. Bushman’s research supports the “fly-on-the-wall” technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them angry. And finally, don’t underestimate the impact of anger — that is, getting angry when you’re hungry. Science suggests it’s a real phenomenon. So next time you feel yourself gearing up for a venting session, think of grabbing a snack and taking a few deep breaths instead. 32. What is the traditional belief of venting? A. Nothing can be worse than venting. B. Venting may lead to worse emotions. C. Letting anger out always works well. D. Releasing negative feelings is logical. 33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The problem of venting while angry. B. The benefit of taking some deep breaths. C. The temporary relief from venting anger. D. The lessened anger after hitting something. 34. Why is the “fly-on-the-wall” technique mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To challenge angry people. B. To replace yoga and meditation. C. To illustrate change in perspective. D. To observe the situation as a third party. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The psychological risk of venting and its influence. B. The harm of venting anger and its coping techniques. C. The science of hunger-related anger and its solutions. D. The development of catharsis theory and its modern debates. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍发泄愤怒的危害及应对技巧。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For a long time, psychologists believed in “catharsis theory,” or the idea that it’s better to release negative emotions than hold onto them. (长期以来，心理学家们信奉“宣泄理论”，即认为释放负面情绪比压抑它们更好的观点。)”可知，传统的发泄观点是释放负面情绪是合乎逻辑的。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The problem is that when you’re furious (愤怒的), it feels better to shout angrily than it does to take some centering deep breaths. (他说，尽管像打沙袋这样的活动实际上并不能减轻愤怒，但“75%的人表示在做了这些活动后感觉更好”。)”可知，研究发现75%的人认为这些活动后会感觉更好，由此可知，研究中发现的“that”指的是发泄愤怒带来的暂时缓解。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“When you feel yourself getting stuck in the trap of venting, look for healthier coping strategies. If yoga and meditation aren’t your thing, try a quick shift in perspective. Bushman’s research supports the “fly-on-the-wall” technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them angry. (当你感觉自己陷入宣泄的陷阱时，要寻找更健康的应对策略。如果瑜伽和冥想不合你的心意，试试快速转换视角。布什曼的研究支持“墙上苍蝇”技巧，即让愤怒的人想象自己作为第三方观察令他们生气的情境。)”可推断，第五段提到“墙上苍蝇”技巧是为了说明视角的变化。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“But back in 2002, Brad Bushman, a professor of communication at the Ohio State University, published a study that questioned that logic, saying that venting (发泄) “is the worst thing you can do” when you’ re mad and it’s “adding more fuel to the fire.”(但早在2002年，俄亥俄州立大学传播学教授布拉德・布什曼发表了一项研究，对这一逻辑提出了质疑。他指出，生气时发泄“是你能做的最糟糕的事情”，这无异于“火上浇油”。)”可知，文章先指出传统宣泄理论的问题，接着说明发泄愤怒的危害，最后介绍应对技巧，“发泄愤怒的危害及其应对技巧”最能概括全文。故选B项。 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。 How to Build Self-confidence Self-confidence is an important quality that helps us face challenges and achieve our goals. ____36____ Here are some practical tips to help you develop it, whether you’re struggling with daily tasks or preparing for big life milestones. · Set small and achievable goals. ____37____ When you finish a small goal, you will feel a sense of achievement, which can encourage you to take on bigger challenges.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何建立自信提出了几条实用建议，包括设定小目标、走出舒适区、善待自己以及与乐观的人为伴。 【36题详解】 上文“Self-confidence is an important quality that helps us face challenges and achieve our goals. (自信是一种帮助我们面对挑战、实现目标的重要品质)”指出了自信的重要性。D选项“It is somewhat tough to build, however. (然而，建立自信有点困难)”通过“however”与上文构成转折，指出尽管自信重要，但建立起来并非易事。下文“Here are some practical tips to help you develop it, whether you’re struggling with daily tasks or preparing for big life milestones. (以下是一些实用建议，无论你是在日常事务中挣扎，还是在为人生重大里程碑做准备，都能帮助你培养自信)”则基于这一困难，自然引出提供实用建议的必要性。故选D项。 【37题详解】 上文“Set small and achievable goals. (设定小的、可实现的目标)”是本段的小标题，提出了核心建议。E选项“Divided tasks are easier than complex ones. (分解的任务比复杂的任务更容易)”承接小标题，解释了为何要设定小目标——因为它们更容易完成。下文“When you finish a small goal, you will feel a sense of achievement, which can encourage you to take on bigger challenges. (当你完成一个小目标时，你会感到成就感，这能鼓励你去迎接更大的挑战)”则在此基础上，进一步阐述完成小目标带来的积极影响。故选E项。 【38题详解】 下文“Trying new things, such as joining a club or giving a short speech, can help you learn new skills and discover your hidden abilities. These small acts of courage are exactly what fuel your self belief. In contrast, staying stuck in the familiar will only limit your potential and hold you back from growth. (尝试新事物，比如加入俱乐部或做简短演讲，可以帮助你学习新技能、发现隐藏的能力。这些小小的勇气行为正是滋养你自信的燃料。相比之下，固守熟悉领域只会限制你的潜力，阻碍成长)”整段都在阐述尝试新事物、走出熟悉领域对建立自信的积极作用。B选项“Step out of your comfort zone. (走出你的舒适区)”作为本段小标题，精准概括了下文的核心内容，即鼓励人们挑战熟悉领域、尝试新事物。故选B项。 【39题详解】 上文“Stay kind to yourself. Being gentle with yourself means accepting your shortcomings. (善待自己。对自己温柔意味着接受自己的缺点)”提出了“接受缺点”的理念。C选项“Don’t blame yourself for failures. (不要因失败而责备自己)”承接上文，将“接受缺点”具体化为“不因失败自责”。下文“They are part of the learning process, and it’s important to learn from them instead of feeling ashamed. (它们是学习过程的一部分，重要的是从中学习，而不是感到羞愧)”则进一步阐述了如何对待缺点——将其视为学习机会而非羞愧之源，与C选项共同阐释“善待自己”的内涵。故选C项。 【40题详解】 上文“Surround yourself with optimistic people. They can give you support and encouragement when you feel down. Avoid people who always criticize you or make you feel bad about yourself. After all, the influence of those around you is powerful, shaping how you see yourself each day. (与乐观的人为伴。当你情绪低落时，他们能给你支持和鼓励。远离那些总是批评你、让你自我感觉糟糕的人。毕竟，周围人的影响是强大的，每天都在塑造你对自己的看法)”阐述了乐观人群的积极作用以及远离消极人群的重要性。G选项“Positive people can boost your mood and motivation. (积极的人能提升你的情绪和动力)”承接上文，进一步具体说明了乐观人群带来的好处——提升情绪和动力，使论述更加充实。故选G项。 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。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____41____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____42____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____43____.

A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了一位老师通过带学生前往森林的体验式教学，解答了“为何很多人会迷茫”的问题，让学生明白不应因恐惧未来而错过当下的美好，活在当下才能塑造未来。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：察觉到他们的好奇心后，我决定通过亲身经历来指导他们，而非简单地进行解释。A. Ignoring忽视，不理睬；B. Sensing察觉到，意识到；C. Criticizing批评，指责；D. Celebrating庆祝，赞美。根据下文“I decided to show them the ropes through experience”可知，老师察觉到学生们的好奇心，决定用体验而非说教的方式解答。 【42题详解】 考查动词。句意：察觉到他们的好奇心后，我决定通过亲身经历来指导他们，而非简单地进行解释。A. complain抱怨，发牢骚；B. argue争论，辩论；C. explain解释，说明；D. announce宣布，宣告。根据上文“through experience rather than simply”可知，与“亲身实践”相对的是“口头解释”。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：我说着，带着他们走向附近的森林。A. mountain山，山脉；B. river河流；C. desert沙漠；D. forest森林。后文明确提到“we stopped at the forest’s edge”，因此老师带学生去的是附近的森林。 【44题详解】 考查动词。句意：利亚姆紧张地补充道。“我们真的能在这活下来吗？”A. survive幸存，活下来；B. enjoy享受，喜爱；C. remember记得，记住；D. control控制，掌控。根据上文“Are there wild animals?”学生们担心有野生动物，颤抖着问“我们能活下来吗？”，体现了他们极度的恐惧。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我保持沉默，平静地走在前面。A. curious好奇的；B. silent沉默的；C. shocked震惊的；D. amused觉得好笑的。根据后文“yet I said nothing”可知，老师保持沉默，只是平静地往前走。 【46题详解】 考查名词。句意：学生们跟在我后面，他们的脑海中满是猜测。A. plans计划；B. guesses猜测，猜想；C. decisions决定；D. jokes玩笑。根据下文“Some panicked over ______ lions; others pictured snakes.”可知，学生们不知道目的地和此行目的，脑子里充满了各种不确定的猜想。 【47题详解】 考查形容词。句意：有些人因想象中的狮子而惊慌失措；另一些人则描绘着蛇的景象。A. hungry饥饿的；B. magical神奇的；C. fierce凶猛的；D. imaginary想象中的，虚构的。根据下文“others pictured snakes”可知，学生们想象着危险。 【48题详解】 考查动词。句意：每走一步，他们的焦虑就加剧一分，但我什么也没说。A. grew增长，加剧；B. emerged出现，浮现；C. faded消退，减弱；D. fell下降，跌落。根据语境以及上文“With every step”可知，随着一步步靠近森林，学生们对未知的恐惧不断加深，焦虑情绪持续加剧。 【49题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我转向他们，微笑着说道：“别担心——我们不会进去的。”A. Calling on号召，呼吁；B. Pointing at指向；C. Turning to转向；D. Waiting for等待。根据语境以及下文“I smiled. “Don’t worry — we won’t be entering.””可知，老师一直走在队伍前面，到达目的地后，需要转过身来面对学生才能开始说话。 【50题详解】 考查名词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. joy快乐，喜悦；B. fear恐惧，害怕；C. anger愤怒，生气；D. hope希望。根据后文“let fear take over”可知，此处指的是学生们太害怕未知的事物了。 【51题详解】 考查动词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. heard听到；B. missed错过，未注意到；C. avoided避免；D. recorded记录。根据下文“we’ll miss its wonders”可知，因为学生们全神贯注于对未知的恐惧，所以错过了身边的鸟鸣和阳光。 【52题详解】 考查名词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. beauty美景，美好；B. harmony和谐；C. warmth温暖；D. mystery神秘。根据上文“the birds singing”和“the sunlight filtering through the leaves”可知，都是大自然中具体的美好事物，用“beauty”可以概括性地指代这些身边的风景。 【53题详解】 考查动词。句意：“所以……我们总是过于担忧未来，以至于忘记了当下该做什么？”A. refuse拒绝；B. pretend假装；C. forget忘记；D. hate讨厌。根据上文“we worry so much about the future”可知，杰克的感悟是对老师观点的总结：人们过度担忧未来，以至于忘记了活在当下。 【54题详解】 考查名词。句意：“正是如此，”我回答道，“生活是一段旅程。”A. game游戏；B. battle战斗；C. gift礼物；D. journey旅程。根据下文“we’ll miss its wonders.”可知，此处指的是“生活是一场旅程”，与后文“错过沿途的奇迹”完美呼应。 【55题详解】 考查名词。句意：这个道理虽然简单却意义深远：当下塑造着未来。A. present当下，现在；B. chance机会；C. effort努力；D. luck运气。根据下文“Don’t let fear steal today’s gifts.”可知，此处为文章主旨升华：当下塑造未来，不要让恐惧偷走今天的礼物。与前文“live now”“today’s gifts”形成完美呼应。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The hulusi, with a history that can be traced back to the pre-Qin period in China, originated in the southwestern border of China, especially among ethnic minorities such as the Dai, Achang and Blang in Yunnan, ____56____ is an essential musical companion in their cultural life.

Emma stood at the corner of a bustling street, holding a heavy suitcase in her hands. She had dreamed of this moment-starting fresh, building a new life — but now, surrounded by strangers and endless concrete, she felt small and utterly alone. Her first week was a blur of missteps. The job she had lined up fell through when the company decided to hire someone with more experience. Her savings were decreasing faster than she had expected, and the rent was due in a week. Everywhere she turned, it felt like the city was pushing her away, as if it didn’t have room for one more dreamer. One rainy evening, when Emma boarded the train from another unsuccessful job interview, she noticed an elderly man sitting across from her. He was dressed in a worn but neatly pressed suit, and his hands rested on a leather briefcase that looked as old as he was. What caught Emma’s attention, however, was the book he was reading — The Great Gatsby, her favorite novel. Emma hesitated for a moment before striking up a conversation. “That’s a wonderful book,” she said, smiling. The man looked up, his eyes bright with surprise and curiosity. “You’ve read it?” he asked, his voice warm but tinged with a hint of nostalgia. As they began to talk, he put the book into his briefcase and introduced himself as Mr. Bennett, and he had been a literature professor before retiring. He spoke of his travels, his students, and the books that had shaped his life. And Emma also shared her hopeless situation. Listening attentively for a while, Mr Bennett pulled out a pen and a cream-colored card with his wrinkled hands, and quickly wrote something down. 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。 As the train approached Emma’s stop, Mr. Bennett reached into his briefcase. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, as Emma opened the book, a cream-colored card dropped out of it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As the train approached Emma’s stop, Mr.Bennett reached into his briefcase. He pulled out the book The Great Gatsby he had been reading, and handed it to Emma with a warm smile. “It has been a companion to me through many years, and I hope it will be to you as well,” said Mr. Bennett.Emma was taken aback by the unexpected gesture, feeling a wave of gratitude washing over her. She accepted the book, promising to read it with the same care and attention that Mr.Bennett had shown her. That evening, as Emma opened the book, a cream-colored card dropped out of it. She picked it up and read the elegant script: “To Emma, may your journey in the city be as enlightening as the stories you read. Keep dreaming and never lose sight of what truly matters. Sincerely, Mr.Bennett.” The card was a testament to the kindness of strangers and the unexpected connections one can make in a bustling city. Emma felt a renewed sense of hope and determination, inspired by the generosity of a man she had only just met. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。主要讲述了艾玛来到一座陌生的大城市，满心期待开启新生活，然而现实却很残酷，工作没着落，积蓄渐少，房租即将到期，她陷入困境且倍感孤独。在一次失败的面试后乘火车时，她因一本共同喜爱的书与退休文学教授班纳特先生展开交流，并向他倾诉了自己的艰难处境。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“火车快到站时，班纳特先生把手伸进公文包。”可知，第一段可描写班纳特先生从公文包里拿出与书送送给艾玛同时会伴有温暖的话语，给身处困境的艾玛带来慰藉。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，艾玛打开书，从里面掉出一张奶油色的卡片。”可知，第二段可描写卡片内容进一步激励艾玛，使她对未来重新燃起希望，让她对在这座城市的生活有新的思考和决心。 2.续写线索：火车快到艾玛的站点时，班纳特先生从公文包拿出书送给艾玛并给予鼓励话语——艾玛惊讶又感激地收下书——晚上艾玛打开书，卡片掉落——艾玛看到卡片上温暖的话语，深受鼓舞，重燃希望和决心。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿出：pull out/take out ②递给：hand/pass ③鼓舞：inspire/motivate ④遇到：meet/encounter 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1] He pulled out the book The Great Gatsby he had been reading, and handed it to Emma with a warm smile.（运用了省略关系代词 that 的定语从句，先行词为 the book The Great Gatsby，关系代词在从句中作宾语，被省略） [高分句型2] The card was a testament to the kindness of strangers and the unexpected connections one can make in a bustling city.（运用了省略关系代词 that 的定语从句，先行词为 the unexpected connections，关系代词在从句中作宾语，被省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间low。International . friends club, can I help you?

B When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me C Coca-Cola will be using over 4.1 billion kilograms of plastic a year by the year 2030, unless it stops using single-use plastic, according to a report from the conservation organization Oceana. Oceana also estimates that by 2030, an annual 602 million kilograms of Coca-Cola’s plastic packaging will be polluting the world’s oceans and waterways. The report says that this is enough plastic to fill the stomachs of 18 million blue whales. Oceana made its estimates using Coca-Cola’s own reported data on its use of plastic packaging between 2018 and 2023, and a forecast of the company’s future sales growth based on past trends. A 2024 study found that Coca-Cola is already the world’s worst plastic-polluting brand. Oceana says the problem is Coca-Cola’s use of single-use plastic instead of reusable packaging. Reusable bottles can be used up to 25 times if made of thicker plastic, and up to 50 times if made of glass. Coca-Cola previously had a goal of using 25% reusable packaging by 2030, but announced that it had given up that goal at the end of 2024. Instead, the company says it will increase the use of recycled plastic in its packaging and increase collection of single-use plastic bottles for further recycling. However, Oceana says that relying on the use of recycled materials and collection of plastic for recycling won’t reduce the great influence of Coca-Cola’ s plastic footprint. The organization’s Senior Vice President Matt Littlejohn said: “Single-use plastic is bad for the oceans, human health, and business. Recycling can’t solve the company’s out-of-control plastic problem. Reuse can.” He added, “Single-use plastic bottles made with recycled content can — just like bottles made of virgin plastic — still become marine pollution and harm ocean life.” As well as harming sea life, plastic use is also harmful for human health. Several studies have connected plastic pollution and microplastics to serious health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease and dementia. Oceana suggests Coca-Cola should take real action that can address its plastic problem now, namely replacing single-use packaging with reusable packaging. 28. What was Coca-Cola’s original plan for 2030? A. To use 25% reusable packaging. B. To stop all plastic bottle production. C. To recycle 100% of its plastic waste. D. To replace plastics with glass bottles. 29. What is Oceana’s attitude toward Coca-Cola’s recycled plastic policy? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Reserved. D. Indifferent. 30. What can we infer according to Matt Littlejohn? A. Blue whales are the most affected by plastic waste. B. Reusable packaging is a better solution than recycling. C. Microplastics mainly come from non-recycled bottles. D. Coca-Cola’s new plan will solve plastic pollution effectively. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. How to Stop Ocean Pollution. B. Coca-Cola’s New Reusable Plan. C. A Growing Threat of Plastic Bottles. D. Coca-Cola’s Plastic Pollution Problem. D For a long time, psychologists believed in “catharsis theory,” or the idea that it’s better to release negative emotions than hold onto them. But back in 2002, Brad Bushman, a professor of communication at the Ohio State University, published a study that questioned that logic, saying that venting (发泄) “is the worst thing you can do” when you’ re mad and it’s “adding more fuel to the fire.” Focusing on a frustrating conversation can blow out of proportion relatively minor annoyances, which is unhealthy, says Jesse Cougle, a psychology professor studying anger at Florida State University. The problem is that when you’re furious (愤怒的), it feels better to shout angrily than it does to take some centering deep breaths. Bushman has seen that in his research. Even though activities like hitting a punching bag don’t actually lessen anger, “75% of people report feeling better” after they do it, he says. The same is often true for venting to a friend. It feels great to have someone support your perspective. Can something that feels so good really be so wrong? Bushman says it’s not always a bad thing to get something off your chest. Talking through a negative feeling with the goal of understanding why something bothered you and how to better respond in the future, such as with a therapist, can be beneficial, he says. But venting becomes less helpful, Cougle says, when it’s mean-spirited—when you repeat the same thing you’ve done many times, keeping yourself stuck in that past anger without trying to move past it. When you feel yourself getting stuck in the trap of venting, look for healthier coping strategies. If yoga and meditation aren’t your thing, try a quick shift in perspective. Bushman’s research supports the “fly-on-the-wall” technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them angry. And finally, don’t underestimate the impact of anger — that is, getting angry when you’re hungry. Science suggests it’s a real phenomenon. So next time you feel yourself gearing up for a venting session, think of grabbing a snack and taking a few deep breaths instead. 32. What is the traditional belief of venting? A. Nothing can be worse than venting. B. Venting may lead to worse emotions. C. Letting anger out always works well. D. Releasing negative feelings is logical. 33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The problem of venting while angry. B. The benefit of taking some deep breaths. C. The temporary relief from venting anger. D. The lessened anger after hitting something. 34. Why is the “fly-on-the-wall” technique mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To challenge angry people. B. To replace yoga and meditation. C. To illustrate change in perspective. D. To observe the situation as a third party. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The psychological risk of venting and its influence. B. The harm of venting anger and its coping techniques. C. The science of hunger-related anger and its solutions. D. The development of catharsis theory and its modern debates. 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。 How to Build Self-confidence Self-confidence is an important quality that helps us face challenges and achieve our goals. ____36____ Here are some practical tips to help you develop it, whether you’re struggling with daily tasks or preparing for big life milestones. · Set small and achievable goals. ____37____ When you finish a small goal, you will feel a sense of achievement, which can encourage you to take on bigger challenges.

Emma stood at the corner of a bustling street, holding a heavy suitcase in her hands. She had dreamed of this moment-starting fresh, building a new life — but now, surrounded by strangers and endless concrete, she felt small and utterly alone. Her first week was a blur of missteps. The job she had lined up fell through when the company decided to hire someone with more experience. Her savings were decreasing faster than she had expected, and the rent was due in a week. Everywhere she turned, it felt like the city was pushing her away, as if it didn’t have room for one more dreamer. One rainy evening, when Emma boarded the train from another unsuccessful job interview, she noticed an elderly man sitting across from her. He was dressed in a worn but neatly pressed suit, and his hands rested on a leather briefcase that looked as old as he was. What caught Emma’s attention, however, was the book he was reading — The Great Gatsby, her favorite novel. Emma hesitated for a moment before striking up a conversation. “That’s a wonderful book,” she said, smiling. The man looked up, his eyes bright with surprise and curiosity. “You’ve read it?” he asked, his voice warm but tinged with a hint of nostalgia. As they began to talk, he put the book into his briefcase and introduced himself as Mr. Bennett, and he had been a literature professor before retiring. He spoke of his travels, his students, and the books that had shaped his life. And Emma also shared her hopeless situation.
