However, there are always lesser-known spots waiting to be discovered in Europe. Here are the top European ski resorts (度假胜地) that exist under the tourist radar. Åre, Sweden The sight of the sunlight shining over the lake is one of the views you will be treated to in the ski resort. It is the largest one in the north of the Alps, but it is not often visited by people from outside Sweden and Norway. With regular flights going directly to Östersund, there is no reason for you not to visit it. Gudauri, Georgia The largest and highest ski resort in Georgia is found in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. There are slopes (斜坡) for different types of skiing and snowboarding here. Cat skiing, heli-skiing, night skiing, cross-country trails, ski tours, and snow tubing are also available. El Tarter, Andorra Still a hidden treasure, El Tarter is connected to the huge Grandvalira ski resorts. It is an ideal place for beginners to learn to ski, with its specially designed slopes and English-speaking instructors, plus it is home to the best snow park in Andorra, which hosts international competitions. Nevis Range, Britain This is the place to visit if you want to avoid the queues. Nevis Range opened in 1989 on the slopes of the Aonach Mor Mountain in the Scottish Highlands, just a short drive from the town of Fort William. The resort has 35 different runs. For professional skiers looking for a thrill, the most difficult natural runs on the trail map are a must. 1. Which words can best describe skiing in Gudauri, Georgia? A. Rich and various. B. Simplest and easiest. C. Popular and worldwide. D. Fastest and best-known. 2. What makes El Tarter suitable for new skiers? A. Its large size. B. Its night activities. C. Its international snow park. D. Its professional teaching conditions. 3. Which ski resort offers challenging runs specially for experienced skiers? A. Åre, Sweden. B. Gudauri, Georgia. C. El Tarter, Andorra. D. Nevis Range, Britain. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了欧洲四大滑雪胜地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Gudauri，Georgia部分的内容“There are slopes (斜坡) for different types of skiing and snowboarding here. Cat skiing, heli-skiing, night skiing, cross-country trails, ski tours, and snow tubing are also available.(这里设有适合不同种类滑雪和单板滑雪的斜坡。包括猫式滑雪、直升机滑雪、夜间滑雪、越野滑雪道、滑雪之旅以及雪上滑行等项目也一应俱全。)”可知，该滑雪胜地有适配各类滑雪的雪道，还开设多种滑雪项目，活动丰富多样。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据El Tarter，Andorra部分的内容“It is an ideal place for beginners to learn to ski, with its specially designed slopes and English-speaking instructors, plus it is home to the best snow park in Andorra, which hosts international competitions.(这里非常适合初学者学习滑雪，这里有专门设计的滑雪道和会说英语的教练，而且这里还是安道尔最好的滑雪场所在地，这里还会举办国际性的滑雪比赛。)”可知，该滑雪胜地对于初学者来说是理想的学习滑雪之地，有专门设计的雪道和会说英语的教练。由此可知，这里具备专业化的教学条件，适合滑雪新手。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Nevis Range，Britain部分的内容“For professional skiers looking for a thrill, the most difficult natural runs on the trail map are a must.(对于那些追求刺激的滑雪高手来说，地图上那些最具挑战性的天然滑雪道是必不可少的必选项目。)”可知，对想寻求刺激的熟练滑雪者来说，该滑雪胜地难度最高的天然雪道颇具挑战性，值得尝试。 B At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $ 130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being. Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement. She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures. Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life. 4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A. Because of a sports injury. B. Because of emotional anxiety. C. Because of financial investment. D. Because of a firm’s recommendation. 5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach? A. It relied on surroundings over needles. B. It used finger pressure instead of needles. C. It combined examination with assessment. D. It prioritized observation over communication. 6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture? A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful. 7. What does the author learn from her experience? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Busy hands make a happy heart. C. You can’t pour from an empty cup. D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者产后压力大，尝试针灸缓解焦虑，记录体验过程并认可针灸舒缓身心的作用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture.(27岁时，作为一名新手妈妈，我一直饱受压力和焦虑的困扰，这促使我尝试针灸疗法)”可知，作者选择尝试针灸是因为情绪焦虑、身心压力大。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.(我和针灸师简短沟通后，她评估了我的生活习惯和健康问题。随后查看我的舌苔，舌尖发红判定为压力大，以此为依据安排针灸点位)”可知，针灸师结合问诊评估和身体检查，综合制定治疗方案。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day.(当针灸师取下银针后，我内心感到无比平静，这种舒适的状态持续了一整天)”可知，做完针灸后，作者内心十分平静、放松。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.(这次经历提醒我要重视自我休养，不然无法兼顾繁忙工作与日常生活)”可知，作者明白要先照顾好自己，才有精力应对生活，对应谚语“人需自爱，方能爱人处事”。 C A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health. A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time. However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones. Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state. While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time. Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being. 8. What can be the relationship between social lives and human health? A. Interactive. B. Short-term. C. One-way. D. Irrelevant. 9. Why does the author mention CSA? A. To offer advice on community involvement. B. To show the negative effects of inflammation. C. To explain how biological aging is measured. D. To present a way to judge social conditions. 10. What do the long-term markers help the study do? A. Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation. B. Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging. C. Prove social relationships ensure better health. D. Suggest diet matters less than social ties. 11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To make a recommendation. B. To make a call. C. To make a conclusion. D. To make a guess. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了社交生活与人类健康之间的关系，指出良好的社交关系对长期身心健康至关重要，并介绍了相关研究及结论。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.(虽然具体原因仍在研究中，但越来越多的证据表明，我们的社交生活直接影响我们的生理健康)”以及第二段中“It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.(有可能是现有的健康问题导致社交关系变弱，也有可能是其他因素——比如滥用药物——同时损害健康和人际关系)”可知，社交生活和人类健康之间是相互影响的关系。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.(最近一项研究对2000多名美国中年人进行了调查，研究了一个名为“累积社会优势(CSA)”的概念。这一衡量标准结合了四个方面：社区支持、亲子关系质量、社区参与以及亲密之人的情感支持)”可知，作者提到CSA是为了呈现一种判断社会状况的方式。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise.(通过关注炎症和细胞衰老等长期标志物，降低了研究结果仅仅是由于饮食或运动等生活方式选择导致的可能性)”可知，长期标志物有助于排除将生活方式作为唯一解释的可能性。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.(因此，培养友谊和社区关系可能和定期锻炼和均衡营养一样对健康重要。优先考虑有意义的社交关系不仅对我们的幸福有好处，而且是对我们长期幸福的一项重要投资)”可知，最后一段再次强调了研究得出的结论，总结了社交关系对健康的重要性。 D When advertising leaders call themselves “cockroaches (蟑螂)”, it is no self-criticism. It means that they have an extraordinary ability to survive great changes. Copywriters adjusted to radio in the 1920s; artists accepted TV in the 1950s; agencies survived the 2000s shift to online ads. Facing artificial intelligence (AI) — the most serious change — they gathered confidently at their annual Cannes meeting. As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries. The gap between human ad workers and AI chatbots is narrower than imagined. Creative work was once thought safe from automation — large language models (LLMs) value predictability more than creativity. Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. However, with large amounts of money spent on ads yearly, most goes to common campaigns. The claim that AI will handle 95％ of marketing work and that humans may only keep the 5％ most creative tasks is more a warning than an exaggeration (夸张). Big companies gain most from AI, which goes against the idea that AI will make skills and intelligence available to all. Small businesses benefit — they can now make TV-quality ads for thousands instead of millions — but some big tech firms control half the global ad market. AI needs expensive computing power and large data sets, resources only the rich can get. Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages. AI’s effects are hard to predict. Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. Traditional public relations is another unexpected winner: As consumers use chatbots more, brands must make LLMs speak well of them. The best way is to influence the news sources LLMs depend on. In the AI age, offline communication may work better than high-tech “search-engine optimization”. Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses. 12. What does the example of the “step-counter chicken campaign” mainly show? A. The wide use of creative marketing strategies. B. The rapid development of AI advertising tools. C. AI’s inability to finish common advertising tasks. D. Humans’ unique advantage in creative advertising. 13. What does the underlined word “hoard” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Keep. B. Lose. C. Share. D. Exchange. 14. What mainly leads to the growing popularity of outdoor billboards? A. Their stronger visual attraction than TV ads. B. AI’s ability to measure their effects accurately. C. Their lower cost than high-tech online campaigns. D. Consumers’ growing preference for offline advertising. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Threat to Advertising Leaders B. AI and Advertising: Changes and Lessons C. Big Companies: Winners of AI Revolution D. “Cockroaches” in AI Ads: A Way to Survive 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人工智能对广告行业带来的变革、产生的影响，分析了AI背景下广告行业的发展现状，并阐述了广告行业的AI发展经验对其他行业的启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. (然而，尽管像将计步器安装在鸡身上以推广散养鸡蛋这样真正富有创意的广告仍由人类制作，但领先的科技公司现已推出人工智能工具，能够生成符合标准的视频或重新撰写广告文案。)”可知，该例子旨在说明人类在创意广告领域具备AI无法替代的独特优势。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages. (人类智慧广泛普及，而AI可以被购买。AI并未营造公平的竞争环境，反而让富人____竞争优势。)”可知AI可以被购买，所以应是富人有竞争优势，hoard在此处意为“囤积，保有”，与keep含义一致。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. (广告商正将预算从电视广告转向简易户外广告牌——如今AI可借助大数据证实看到广告牌的消费者是否购买产品，将猜测转化为明确结果。)”可知，户外广告牌愈发流行的主要原因是AI能够精准衡量其宣传效果。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries. (作为受人工智能影响最大的领域之一，广告行业预示着这项技术将如何重塑其他行业。)”及最后一段“Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses. (尽管广告行业具备独特的生存能力，但其应对AI的发展经历预示着所有企业的未来走向。)”可知，全文围绕AI与广告行业展开，介绍了AI给广告行业带来的各类变化，同时总结了相关经验启示，B选项“AI and Advertising: Changes and Lessons (人工智能与广告：变革与启示)”为文章的最佳标题。 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 used blue light-blocking glasses when working on a computer, thinking they could protect your eyes? I have been blamed for reading in the dark secretly just for a moment. ____16____ One common belief is that looking at an electronic device up close is bad for your eyes. This is true. While reading in the dark for a while does not permanently worsen eyesight, it can create temporary eye strain because you are forced to hold a book close to your face. ____17____ After every 20 minutes of close reading, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. On the contrary, spending time outside appears to help eyesight. Outdoor time can reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness in children, possibly because sunlight encourages the retina (视网膜) to produce certain beneficial substances. ____18____ Too much exposure to sunlight can cause severe damage to eyes. Consequently, wearing sunglasses that block UV rays is essential for protection. Regarding screens, the fear of blue light is largely unfounded. No solid evidence confirms that typical exposure damages the retina or that blue light-blocking glasses surely improve eye health. ____19____ When we stare at a screen, we simply do not blink (眨眼) as often as we should, leading to foggy vision. ____20____ Smoking is definitely bad for eye health while carrots are indeed good for your eyes. Carrots are rich in vitamins C and E, which can slow the progression of an age-related eye illness. A. However, balance is key. B. Therefore, sunshine is the best medicine. C. Lifestyle choices also play a significant role. D. Anyway, there exist some incorrect ideas about eye health. E. Instead, screens harm eyesight primarily by causing dry eyes. F. To help reduce strain, it is recommended to obey the 20-20-20 rule. G. Looking into the distance for 20 seconds helps form good reading habits. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了关于眼部健康的一些常见误区和正确的护眼做法。 【16题详解】 上文“Have you ever used blue light-blocking glasses when working on a computer, thinking they could protect your eyes? I have been blamed for reading in the dark secretly just for a moment. (你是否曾在使用电脑时佩戴过防蓝光眼镜，以为它们能保护你的视力？我因为在黑暗中偷偷地读了一会儿书而受到责备。)”举出两例关于用眼的错误做法，下文主要介绍了关于眼部健康的一些常见误区，因此D项“Anyway, there exist some incorrect ideas about eye health. (不管怎样，关于眼部健康存在一些错误的观点。)”符合语境，承上启下，引出对各类误区的说明。 【17题详解】 上文“While reading in the dark for a while does not permanently worsen eyesight, it can create temporary eye strain because you are forced to hold a book close to your face. (虽然在黑暗中阅读一段时间不会永久性地损害视力，但会让人产生暂时的眼部疲劳，因为这样做会迫使你把书本紧贴着脸阅读。)”提到近距离用眼会造成暂时性的眼部疲劳，下文“After every 20 minutes of close reading, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. (每阅读20分钟后，就将视线移向至少20英尺远的地方，停留20秒钟。)”解释用眼“20-20-20”规则，因此F项“To help reduce strain, it is recommended to obey the 20-20-20 rule. (为了帮助缓解疲劳，建议遵守“20-20-20”规则。)”符合语境，承上启下，其中的strain在上文有同词复现。 【18题详解】 上文“Outdoor time can reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness in children, possibly because sunlight encourages the retina (视网膜) to produce certain beneficial substances. (户外活动能够降低儿童患近视的风险，这可能是因为阳光能促使视网膜产生一些有益的物质。)”指出在户外接触阳光对视力有益，下文“Too much exposure to sunlight can cause severe damage to eyes. (长时间暴露在阳光下会对眼睛造成严重损害。)”提醒暴晒会损伤眼睛，因此A项“However, balance is key. (然而，平衡是关键。)”符合语境，承上启下，体现上下文语义的转折。 【19题详解】 上文“No solid evidence confirms that typical exposure damages the retina or that blue light-blocking glasses surely improve eye health. (目前尚无确凿证据表明常规的光照暴露会对视网膜造成损害，也没有证据表明防蓝光眼镜一定能改善视力健康状况。)”指出蓝光会损伤视网膜的说法不可靠，下文“When we stare at a screen, we simply do not blink (眨眼) as often as we should, leading to foggy vision. (当我们盯着屏幕看的时候，我们往往会比正常情况下少眨眼，这就导致了视力模糊的情况。)”解释看屏幕导致视力下降的机制，因此E项“Instead, screens harm eyesight primarily by causing dry eyes. (相反，电子屏幕损伤视力主要是通过引起眼睛干涩。)”符合语境，点明屏幕伤眼的真正原因，承上启下。 【20题详解】 下文“Smoking is definitely bad for eye health while carrots are indeed good for your eyes. Carrots are rich in vitamins C and E, which can slow the progression of an age-related eye illness. (吸烟绝对不利于眼睛健康，而胡萝卜确实对眼睛有益。胡萝卜富含维生素C和E，能够减缓与年龄相关的视力问题的发展。)”指出吸烟、饮食等生活习惯对眼睛的影响，因此C项“Lifestyle choices also play a significant role. (生活方式的选择也起着重要作用。)”符合语境，概括该段主旨，总起下文。 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。 In 2012, I came to China and started studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at a university in Liaoning, right after my mother died of kidney disease.

But one thing always bothered me — the messy waste bins by the teaching building. Waste paper, plastic bottles, and leftover food boxes were mixed together, spilling out of the bins and giving off a faint, unpleasant smell. Even though each bin was marked with clear recycling signs, few students bothered to follow the rules. Last week, a group of community environmental protection volunteers came to our campus to promote garbage (垃圾) classification. They handed out detailed leaflets and gave speeches, telling us how waste sorting helps protect the Earth. Sadly, their efforts were ignored, and the waste bins remained in a mess. One afternoon after school, when I passed the waste bins again, I saw our teacher Mr White picking up the rubbish piece by piece. He wore a pair of gloves, sorting plastic bottles into the recycling bin and separating wet waste from dry rubbish patiently. I froze in surprise, never expecting such a busy teacher to do such tiring work. Seeing me standing aside, he waved me over and wiped sweat from his forehead. “Protecting our living environment doesn’t mean doing great deeds,” Mr White said gently. “It starts with sorting a handful of rubbish, saving a piece of paper, or throwing rubbish in the right bin. Our campus is our second home, and we should take good care of it together.” Mr White’s words inspired me to decide to take action. The next day, I brought homemade labels and stuck them clearly on each bin to remind everyone of sorting rules. During class breaks, I stood beside the waste bins and patiently told classmates which waste went into each bin. At first, many students turned away, making me a little upset. But I never stopped. I kept sorting the mixed rubbish quietly. I also told them about Mr White’s action and my plan. Finally, some of my classmates agreed to support me. 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 days went by, my small moves touched more classmates to join me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surprisingly, our action caught those community environmental volunteers’ attention. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As days went by, my small moves touched more classmates to join me. Several warm-hearted friends came to help promote garbage classification and sort rubbish together. We made colorful posters and put them up on classroom walls and campus noticeboards, spreading the importance of environmental protection. We also took out the leaflets from the community volunteers and shared the sorting knowledge with more peers. Gradually, more and more students began to sort rubbish on their own. The messy waste bins turned neat and clean, and the bad smell around them was gone. Our campus looked fresher and more pleasant, making every student feel happy to study here. Surprisingly, our action caught those community environmental volunteers’ attention. They came back to our campus specially, praising our class and setting us as a good example for other classes. What was more unexpected was that our story was published in the school newspaper, inspiring more students and even nearby schools to follow our lead. This experience taught me that protecting the Earth is never an empty promise. Every tiny effort around us can add up to a big force. As long as we start with small daily things and keep going, we can make our living environment greener and better little by little. 【解析】 【导语】本文以校园垃圾分类事件为线索展开，讲述了作者看到校园垃圾桶杂乱、垃圾分类推广遇冷后，受怀特老师言行启发主动践行垃圾分类，带动同学参与校园环境维护的故事，传递了从小事做起、共同守护家园的理念。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写同学们加入后开展的系列行动，如制作海报宣传、普及分类知识，以及校园环境随之发生的整洁变化。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写志愿者到校表扬、事迹在校报刊登等后续反响，以及作者从此次经历中获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索： 带动同学→宣传行动→环境改善→获得关注→收获感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 张贴：put up/post/stick ② 传播：spread/promote/disseminate ③ 树立榜样：set...as a good example/serve as a model 情绪类 ① 开心的：happy/delighted/pleased ② 意外的：unexpected/surprising/out of expectation 【点睛】【高分句型1】We made colorful posters and put them up on classroom walls and campus noticeboards, spreading the importance of environmental protection.(运用了现在分词短语spreading the importance of environmental protection作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】What was more unexpected was that our story was published in the school newspaper, inspiring more students and even nearby schools to follow our lead.(运用了what引导的主语从句、that引导的表语从句和现在分词短语inspiring more students and even nearby schools to follow our lead作结果状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

However, there are always lesser-known spots waiting to be discovered in Europe. Here are the top European ski resorts (度假胜地) that exist under the tourist radar. Åre, Sweden The sight of the sunlight shining over the lake is one of the views you will be treated to in the ski resort. It is the largest one in the north of the Alps, but it is not often visited by people from outside Sweden and Norway. With regular flights going directly to Östersund, there is no reason for you not to visit it. Gudauri, Georgia The largest and highest ski resort in Georgia is found in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. There are slopes (斜坡) for different types of skiing and snowboarding here. Cat skiing, heli-skiing, night skiing, cross-country trails, ski tours, and snow tubing are also available. El Tarter, Andorra Still a hidden treasure, El Tarter is connected to the huge Grandvalira ski resorts. It is an ideal place for beginners to learn to ski, with its specially designed slopes and English-speaking instructors, plus it is home to the best snow park in Andorra, which hosts international competitions. Nevis Range, Britain This is the place to visit if you want to avoid the queues. Nevis Range opened in 1989 on the slopes of the Aonach Mor Mountain in the Scottish Highlands, just a short drive from the town of Fort William. The resort has 35 different runs. For professional skiers looking for a thrill, the most difficult natural runs on the trail map are a must. 1. Which words can best describe skiing in Gudauri, Georgia? A. Rich and various. B. Simplest and easiest. C. Popular and worldwide. D. Fastest and best-known. 2. What makes El Tarter suitable for new skiers? A. Its large size. B. Its night activities. C. Its international snow park. D. Its professional teaching conditions. 3. Which ski resort offers challenging runs specially for experienced skiers? A. Åre, Sweden. B. Gudauri, Georgia. C. El Tarter, Andorra. D. Nevis Range, Britain. B At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $ 130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being. Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement. She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures. Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life. 4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A. Because of a sports injury. B. Because of emotional anxiety. C. Because of financial investment. D. Because of a firm’s recommendation. 5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach? A. It relied on surroundings over needles. B. It used finger pressure instead of needles. C. It combined examination with assessment. D. It prioritized observation over communication. 6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture? A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful. 7. What does the author learn from her experience? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Busy hands make a happy heart. C. You can’t pour from an empty cup. D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. C A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health. A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time. However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones. Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state. While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time. Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being. 8. What can be the relationship between social lives and human health? A. Interactive. B. Short-term. C. One-way. D. Irrelevant. 9. Why does the author mention CSA? A. To offer advice on community involvement. B. To show the negative effects of inflammation. C. To explain how biological aging is measured. D. To present a way to judge social conditions. 10. What do the long-term markers help the study do? A. Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation. B. Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging. C. Prove social relationships ensure better health. D. Suggest diet matters less than social ties. 11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To make a recommendation. B. To make a call. C. To make a conclusion. D. To make a guess. D When advertising leaders call themselves “cockroaches (蟑螂)”, it is no self-criticism. It means that they have an extraordinary ability to survive great changes. Copywriters adjusted to radio in the 1920s; artists accepted TV in the 1950s; agencies survived the 2000s shift to online ads. Facing artificial intelligence (AI) — the most serious change — they gathered confidently at their annual Cannes meeting. As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries. The gap between human ad workers and AI chatbots is narrower than imagined. Creative work was once thought safe from automation — large language models (LLMs) value predictability more than creativity. Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. However, with large amounts of money spent on ads yearly, most goes to common campaigns. The claim that AI will handle 95％ of marketing work and that humans may only keep the 5％ most creative tasks is more a warning than an exaggeration (夸张). Big companies gain most from AI, which goes against the idea that AI will make skills and intelligence available to all. Small businesses benefit — they can now make TV-quality ads for thousands instead of millions — but some big tech firms control half the global ad market. AI needs expensive computing power and large data sets, resources only the rich can get. Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages. AI’s effects are hard to predict. Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. Traditional public relations is another unexpected winner: As consumers use chatbots more, brands must make LLMs speak well of them. The best way is to influence the news sources LLMs depend on. In the AI age, offline communication may work better than high-tech “search-engine optimization”. Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses. 12. What does the example of the “step-counter chicken campaign” mainly show? A. The wide use of creative marketing strategies. B. The rapid development of AI advertising tools. C. AI’s inability to finish common advertising tasks. D. Humans’ unique advantage in creative advertising. 13. What does the underlined word “hoard” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Keep. B. Lose. C. Share. D. Exchange. 14.

I have been blamed for reading in the dark secretly just for a moment. ____16____ One common belief is that looking at an electronic device up close is bad for your eyes. This is true. While reading in the dark for a while does not permanently worsen eyesight, it can create temporary eye strain because you are forced to hold a book close to your face. ____17____ After every 20 minutes of close reading, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. On the contrary, spending time outside appears to help eyesight. Outdoor time can reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness in children, possibly because sunlight encourages the retina (视网膜) to produce certain beneficial substances. ____18____ Too much exposure to sunlight can cause severe damage to eyes. Consequently, wearing sunglasses that block UV rays is essential for protection. Regarding screens, the fear of blue light is largely unfounded. No solid evidence confirms that typical exposure damages the retina or that blue light-blocking glasses surely improve eye health. ____19____ When we stare at a screen, we simply do not blink (眨眼) as often as we should, leading to foggy vision. ____20____ Smoking is definitely bad for eye health while carrots are indeed good for your eyes. Carrots are rich in vitamins C and E, which can slow the progression of an age-related eye illness. A. However, balance is key. B. Therefore, sunshine is the best medicine. C. Lifestyle choices also play a significant role. D. Anyway, there exist some incorrect ideas about eye health. E. Instead, screens harm eyesight primarily by causing dry eyes. F. To help reduce strain, it is recommended to obey the 20-20-20 rule. G. Looking into the distance for 20 seconds helps form good reading habits. 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。 In 2012, I came to China and started studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at a university in Liaoning, right after my mother died of kidney disease.

But one thing always bothered me — the messy waste bins by the teaching building. Waste paper, plastic bottles, and leftover food boxes were mixed together, spilling out of the bins and giving off a faint, unpleasant smell. Even though each bin was marked with clear recycling signs, few students bothered to follow the rules. Last week, a group of community environmental protection volunteers came to our campus to promote garbage (垃圾) classification. They handed out detailed leaflets and gave speeches, telling us how waste sorting helps protect the Earth. Sadly, their efforts were ignored, and the waste bins remained in a mess. One afternoon after school, when I passed the waste bins again, I saw our teacher Mr White picking up the rubbish piece by piece. He wore a pair of gloves, sorting plastic bottles into the recycling bin and separating wet waste from dry rubbish patiently. I froze in surprise, never expecting such a busy teacher to do such tiring work. Seeing me standing aside, he waved me over and wiped sweat from his forehead. “Protecting our living environment doesn’t mean doing great deeds,” Mr White said gently. “It starts with sorting a handful of rubbish, saving a piece of paper, or throwing rubbish in the right bin. Our campus is our second home, and we should take good care of it together.” Mr White’s words inspired me to decide to take action. The next day, I brought homemade labels and stuck them clearly on each bin to remind everyone of sorting rules. During class breaks, I stood beside the waste bins and patiently told classmates which waste went into each bin. At first, many students turned away, making me a little upset. But I never stopped. I kept sorting the mixed rubbish quietly. I also told them about Mr White’s action and my plan. Finally, some of my classmates agreed to support me. 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 days went by, my small moves touched more classmates to join me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surprisingly, our action caught those community environmental volunteers’ attention. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
