The first year often means independence and freedom, yet it can also be stressful as you manage to be on your own, make new friends, and handle your course load. This is why many students and parents seek advice on managing college for the first time. Who is a First-Year College Student? Generally speaking, a first-year college student attends college for the first time at the undergraduate level. These students have finished high school or obtained their GED equivalency. First-year college students can also be first-generation college students, meaning they will be the first in their immediate family to graduate from a four-year college. Four Tips For Your First Year Tip 1: Build a Manageable Course Schedule While it’s tempting to overload your schedule or create a very light one, both pathways can lead to trouble. Instead, set a realistic schedule so you can attend classes on time. Knowing when you work best and your learning style will help you keep up your grades while leaving time for friends and activities. Tip 2: Check Your Student Email and Academic Portal Regularly Professors and school officials use a student’s email and academic portal to provide information about tests, assignments, and campus life. First-year students should log into these resources before the semester starts and learn how to manage them. Tip 3: Embrace Time-Management Tools If your parents or teachers helped you track assignments in high school, you might find managing your own time challenging at first. However, balancing academic and social life is possible with digital tools and apps. Students should also check out their college’s student support services. Tip 4: Be Open to Joining a Club or Taking Part in Campus Activities Getting involved helps students feel less alone and increases their sense of belonging. Being active in the college community, especially in leadership positions, is also attractive to employers. The first year at college is a life-changing time to grow, but it can also be challenging. Thankfully, you are never alone with the support of faculty, staff, and students around you. 36. What do we know about first-year college students from the first two paragraphs? A. They usually have no experience living on their own. B. Their main challenge is to avoid feeling stressed. C. They experience both freedom and pressure at the same time. D. Most of them turn to their parents for academic advice. 37. According to “Tip 1”, what is the author’s suggestion in the passage? A. Make a schedule that is either overloaded or too light. B. Form a well-organized timetable to avoid being late for class. C. Spend more time on academic studies and less time on activities. D. Study whenever you want without considering your learning style. 38. What is the function of student email and academic portal according to “Tip 2”? A. They are mainly used for social activities on campus. B. They replace face-to-face communication with professors. C. They should be checked only after the semester starts. D. They serve as important channels for academic information. 39. Why does the author mention “digital tools and apps” in Tip 3? A. To stress the importance of giving up former study plans. B. To show the difficulty of independent time management. C. To present a helpful method for academic-social balance. D. To advise depending less on college support services. 40. What is one benefit of joining a club or campus activity mentioned in the article? A. It enhances students’ feeling of being part of the college. B. It allows students to avoid difficult courses successfully. C. It helps students get better grades efficiently in exams. D. It guarantees a job after graduation in big companies. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】主要针对大学一年级学生，介绍他们在大学第一年既会体验到独立与自由，也会面临压力。文章从大学新生的定义出发，给出四条建议。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first year often means independence and freedom, yet it can also be stressful as you manage to be on your own, make new friends, and handle your course load.(第一年通常意味着独立和自由，但当你努力独自生活、结交新朋友以及应对课程负担时，也可能会感到压力)”可知，大学一年级学生同时经历着自由和压力。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Tip 1”中“Instead, set a realistic schedule so you can attend classes on time. Knowing when you work best and your learning style will help you keep up your grades while leaving time for friends and activities.(相反，制定一个现实可行的时间表，这样你就能按时上课。了解自己何时学习状态最佳以及自己的学习风格，将有助于你在保持成绩的同时，留出时间给朋友和参加活动)”可知，作者建议制定一个有条理的时间表以避免上课迟到。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Tip 2”中“Professors and school officials use a student’s email and academic portal to provide information about tests, assignments, and campus life.(教授和学校管理人员使用学生邮箱和学术门户来提供关于考试、作业和校园生活的信息)”可知，学生邮箱和学术门户是学术信息的重要渠道。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Tip 3”中“However, balancing academic and social life is possible with digital tools and apps.(然而，借助数字工具和应用程序，平衡学术和社交生活是有可能的)”可知，提到“数字工具和应用程序”是为了展示一种有助于平衡学术与社交生活的方法。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Tip 4”中“Getting involved helps students feel less alone and increases their sense of belonging.(参与其中有助于学生减少孤独感，增强他们的归属感)”可知，参加俱乐部或校园活动的一个好处是增强学生对大学生活的融入感。 B I first encountered Mr. Henderson in the spring of 2018, while volunteering at the local community garden. A retired schoolteacher with a weather-beaten face and a gentle smile, he was known among neighbors as the “Garden Sage”. At that time, I was struggling with my studies and felt overwhelmed by the pressure of college applications. Mr. Henderson noticed my restlessness as I stared helplessly at the patch of dry, barren soil assigned to me. “Soil needs patience, just like life,” he said, handing me a small trowel. “Water it, wait for the rain, and let nature take its course.” His words were simple, but they struck a chord deep within me. I began to visit his plot regularly, watching as he coaxed vibrant vegetables from the earth with an almost magical ease. He taught me to read the soil — its texture, its moisture, its scent — and to listen to the whispers of the seasons: the sigh of wind through leaves, the patter of early spring rain, the quiet hum of bees at dawn. Months passed, and our unlikely friendship blossomed. During one particularly difficult week, when I received disappointing news about my grades, I found myself at the garden, ready to give up. Instead of offering empty sympathy, Mr. Henderson handed me a ripe tomato still warm from the sun. “Taste it,” he said. “This grew from a seed that once looked just as dead as yours.” That moment of simple wisdom changed my perspective. I realized that growth isn’t always visible; sometimes it happens beneath the surface, unseen and unmeasured. I started keeping a small journal, sketching the plants I tended and noting their subtle changes — the first green shoot, the curl of a new leaf, the slow deepening of color. As the seasons turned, I not only harvested vegetables but also a sense of inner peace. Mr. Henderson’s quiet dedication reminded me that resilience (韧性) is not about avoiding storms, but about learning to grow in the rain. He didn’t preach or lecture; he simply lived his truth, one seed at a time. When he moved away last year, his lessons remained rooted in my heart. Now, whenever I face setbacks — whether in academics, relationships, or personal goals — I return to the garden, or to the memory of it, and remember: growth takes time. It requires patience, attention, and faith in the unseen. Mr. Henderson didn’t just teach me to dig in the garden; he taught me to live — slowly, deeply, and with grace. 41. What does the underlined phrase “struck a chord” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Touched his heart deeply. B. Brought immediate relief. C. Made him feel extremely anxious. D. Awakened his curiosity about gardening. 42. Why did Mr. Henderson give the author a tomato? A. To share the joy of harvest from his long-term gardening efforts. B. To prove that poor conditions don’t limit the potential of life. C. To push the author to devote more attention to gardening practice. D. To reveal that real improvement often takes place unseen and gradually. 43. What can be inferred about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He regretted giving up his college applications easily. B. He gained a new understanding of personal growth. C. He lost confidence due to disappointing academic news. D. He became expert at observing plants’ natural changes. 44. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Life lessons come from daily experiences. B. Patience helps people overcome difficulties. C. Nature can comfort people’s inner worries. D. Resilience means growing through hard times. 45. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To share a life-changing experience and its lasting influence. B. To encourage readers to take up gardening as a hobby. C. To stress the importance of patience in academic success. D. To introduce the benefits of community service work. 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. B 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】作者在社区花园结识亨德森先生，受其园艺哲理启发，领悟到成长需要耐心与沉淀，这段经历深刻影响了自己面对人生挫折的心态。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段““Soil needs patience, just like life,” he said, handing me a small trowel. “Water it, wait for the rain, and let nature take its course.” His words were simple, but they struck a chord deep within me. I began to visit his plot regularly, watching as he coaxed vibrant vegetables from the earth with an almost magical ease. (“土壤需要耐心，就像人生一样。”他边说边递给我一把小铲子。“浇水、等待降雨，顺其自然就好。”他的话很朴素，却在我内心深处struck a chord。我开始常去他的菜地，看着他近乎神奇般轻松地从土里种出长势旺盛的蔬菜。)”可知，亨德森先生对作者说完那些话后，作者经常去他的菜地看那些长势旺盛的蔬菜，这说明亨德森先生的话触动了作者，所以才会有后续的行动，故猜测struck a chord意为“触动内心、引发共鸣”。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead of offering empty sympathy, Mr. Henderson handed me a ripe tomato still warm from the sun. “Taste it,” he said. “This grew from a seed that once looked just as dead as yours.”(亨德森先生没有说空洞的安慰话，而是递给我一颗还带着阳光温度的熟透番茄。“尝尝看，”他说，“它是从一颗种子长出来的，那粒种子曾经看起来和你的一样毫无生机。”)”可知，亨德森先生递给他番茄，是想证明恶劣的初始条件并不能限制生命本身的潜能。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“That moment of simple wisdom changed my perspective. I realized that growth isn’t always visible; sometimes it happens beneath the surface, unseen and unmeasured.(这份朴素的智慧改变了我的看法，我领悟到成长往往潜藏在表象之下。)”可知，作者对个人成长有了全新的理解。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. Henderson’s quiet dedication reminded me that resilience(韧性) is not about avoiding storms, but about learning to grow in the rain.(亨德森先生默默的坚守让我明白：韧性并非避开风雨，而是学会在雨中成长。)”可知，韧性意味着在困境中历练成长。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段“When he moved away last year, his lessons remained rooted in my heart. Now, whenever I face setbacks — whether in academics, relationships, or personal goals — I return to the garden, or to the memory of it, and remember: growth takes time. It requires patience, attention, and faith in the unseen. Mr. Henderson didn’t just teach me to dig in the garden; he taught me to live — slowly, deeply, and with grace.(去年他搬走时，他教给我的道理已深深扎根在我心中。如今，每当我遭遇挫折 —— 无论在学业、人际关系还是个人目标上 —— 我都会回到那座花园，或是想起它，然后记起：成长需要时间。它需要耐心、用心，以及对看不见的未来抱有信心。亨德森先生不只是教我在园子里耕耘，他教会我如何生活 —— 缓慢、深沉、优雅地生活。)”可知，作者写作目的是分享一段改变人生的经历及其带来的深远影响。 C A drone (无人机) drops a small wooden object with three tails and a seed on the tip. It gently lands on the ground and sits there until it rains. Then, rain sinks into the wood fibers, and the tails start pushing the seed into the ground, where it will grow. The design of this incredible depth-seeking seed carrier is bio-inspired. When Erodium (a plant category) seeds land on the ground, their long tails start to straighten in the presence of dampness in the environment. This process generates a force that drives the seed into the soil, burying it in a more protected environment, ready for future growth. The new design, known as E-seeds, is the latest of many technologies presented as restoration “game-changers”. Yet, from restoration professionals’ point of view, the growing enthusiasm for shiny technologies might outshine established and practical solutions and thus shift limited financing, time and manpower from traditional approaches to such unproven innovations. This will severely weaken our ability to restore damaged ecosystems globally. The restoration of ecosystems typically begins with native vegetation (本土植物), where tree planting is costly, and direct seeding, though cheaper, is riskier as seeds may be blown off, eaten, or dried out if spread on the soil surface. Precision seeders (精量播种机), similar to those in agriculture, which open up the soil, preserve the seed at a proper depth and cover it, throw light upon what the E-seed technology should overcome. E-seeders take a page from precision seeders and therefore achieve the same result. Nonetheless, it’s unlikely that the multi-step process needed to produce E-seeds can be applied to the many billions of seeds across thousands of species we need to restore entire ecosystems. In addition, the tails of the E-seeds could easily get locked with each other, either blocking the seed delivery procedure or being released in groups rather than individually. Ecological restoration is an incredibly complex activity that goes beyond vegetation establishment. It must consider the complex and dynamic interactions between wildlife and their environments, while weighing social and economic consequences for local communities. Therefore, we must approach ecosystem restoration in a well-rounded manner and not get carried away by flashy technologies. 46. What do the designers of E-seeds learn from Erodium seeds? A. Their self-burying strategies. B. Their ability to store much water. C. Their means of landing on the ground. D. Their resistance to the external environment. 47. What may restoration professionals say about the restoration “game-changers”? A. They can cause the misdirection of resources. B. They can make the test of new innovations costly. C. They are the future of global ecosystem restoration. D. They are to replace traditional restoration techniques. 48. Why do the E-seeders copy the workings of precision seeders? A. To speed up the planting process. B. To enhance the survival rate of seeds. C. To keep accurate track of seed locations. D. To simplify the process of seed spreading. 49. From which aspect can the designers further improve E-seeds? A. The suitability for different seed species. B. The adaptability to various environments. C. The mass production and delivery approach. D. The ability to release seeds in large numbers. 50. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Ecological restoration only focuses on the recovery of native plants. B. Social and economic influences should be taken into account. C. Flashy technologies are the key to ecosystem restoration. D. Wildlife protection is more important than ecosystem restoration. 【答案】46. A 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种受Erodium种子启发设计的无人机播种装置E-seeds，并讨论了其在生态修复中的局限性，强调生态修复应全面考虑，不能被华而不实的技术所迷惑。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When Erodium seeds land on the ground, their long tails start to straighten in the presence of dampness in the environment. This process generates a force that drives the seed into the soil, burying it in a more protected environment, ready for future growth. (当Erodium种子落在地面上时，它们的长尾巴在环境潮湿的情况下开始伸直。这一过程产生一种力，将种子推入土壤中，把它埋在一个更受保护的环境中，为未来的生长做好准备。)”以及第一段提到的“The design of this incredible depth-seeking seed carrier is bio-inspired. (这款精妙的寻深式种子运载器，其设计源自生物仿生。)”可知，E-seeds设计是“bio-inspired”（仿生设计），设计师从Erodium种子那里学到了其自我埋藏的策略。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet, from restoration professionals’ point of view, the growing enthusiasm for shiny technologies might outshine established and practical solutions and thus shift limited financing, time and manpower from traditional approaches to such unproven innovations. This will severely weaken our ability to restore damaged ecosystems globally. (然而，从生态修复专业人士的角度来看，对闪亮技术日益增长的热情可能会使成熟实用的解决方案黯然失色，从而将有限的资金、时间和人力从传统方法转移到这些未经证实的创新上。这将严重削弱我们在全球范围内修复受损生态系统的能力。)”可知，修复专业人士认为这些所谓的“游戏规则改变者”技术会导致资源（资金、时间、人力）的错误导向。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Precision seeders (精量播种机), similar to those in agriculture, which open up the soil, preserve the seed at a proper depth and cover it, throw light upon what the E-seed technology should overcome. E-seeders take a page from precision seeders and therefore achieve the same result. (精量播种机与农业领域所用机型原理相近，能够翻整土地、将种子置于合适深度并完成覆土，为仿生设计的“Erodium式种子电技术需要攻克的难题提供了借鉴思路。E-seeds借鉴了精量播种机的设计原理，从而实现了同样的作业效果。)”可知，精量播种机能翻开土壤、将种子保持在适当深度并覆盖，这样能提高种子的存活率，E-seeds正是为了增强种子的存活率而借鉴其工作原理。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Nonetheless, it’s unlikely that the multi-step process needed to produce E-seeds can be applied to the many billions of seeds across thousands of species we need to restore entire ecosystems. In addition, the tails of the E-seeds could easily get locked with each other, either blocking the seed delivery procedure or being released in groups rather than individually. (然而，生产E-seeds所需的多步骤过程不太可能应用于我们修复整个生态系统所需的数千个物种的数十亿颗种子。此外，E-seeds的尾巴很容易相互缠绕，要么阻碍种子投递过程，要么成组释放而不是单独释放。)”可知，目前的E-seeds在生产规模（难以量产数十亿颗）和释放机制（容易缠绕，无法个体释放）上存在缺陷。因此，设计师需要进一步改进的是大规模生产和投放方式。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It must consider the complex and dynamic interactions between wildlife and their environments, while weighing social and economic consequences for local communities. Therefore, we must approach ecosystem restoration in a well-rounded manner and not get carried away by flashy technologies. (它必须考虑野生动物与其环境之间复杂而动态的相互作用，同时权衡对当地社区的社会和经济影响。因此，我们必须以全面的方式进行生态系统修复，而不要被华而不实的技术冲昏头脑。)”可知，作者在最后一段建议生态修复应全面考虑，包括社会和经济方面的影响。 D If you ask someone to guess the number of sweets in a glass, the chance of guessing correctly is low. But if you ask many people to take guesses, something odd happens. Even though their individual answers differ greatly, the average of their varied guesses tends to be surprisingly accurate. This phenomenon is called “wisdom of the crowd”. Examples of this range from counting beans in a glass to guessing the weight of an elephant. However, these examples are somewhat artificial, because they involve decisions that are made in a social vacuum (社会真空). But in reality, people see what others around them are doing or intend to do. We actively seek out what others are saying, and we have a natural tendency to follow successful individuals. So what happens to the wisdom of the crowd when the crowd talk to one another? Andrew King from the Royal Veterinary College conducted a study with 82 participants guessing the number of sweets in a glass. Without extra information, the crowd’s median (中间值的) guess (751) nearly matched the actual number (752). However, when different groups were informed about previous random guesses, their median guesses ranged from 882 to 1109. King compares this effect to real-world situations where people collectively drive prices far above their true value and create economic bubbles (经济泡沫). Is the crowd bound to fall into groupthink? Not quite. King found a way to restore accuracy. When participants were given the current best estimate, the median improved to 795. This mirrors what happens in real life. The crowd may be a social beast, but it doesn’t follow blindly. Certain individuals have dominant influence, and groups of soldiers, employees, players and even animals often rely on leaders or experts when making decisions. But King’s study still reflects an artificial situation, because he could provide the crowd with the closest guess. Real crowds rarely have that luxury. If anything, this study simply highlights how important it is to choose whom we follow. If we pick poorly, our decisions are worse. If we pick well, we perform better. Maybe the real trick to using the wisdom of the crowd is to recognize the most knowledgeable individuals. 51. What does “wisdom of the crowd” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The explanation for people’s being fond of making guesses. B. The phenomenon of people following others’ decisions. C. The process of averaging varied guesses out in a meaningful way. D. The tendency for group average guesses to be surprisingly accurate. 52. What is the situation of a social vacuum like? A. People share resources with each other. B. People are cut off from others’ opinions. C. People are guided by successful individuals. D. People discuss their ideas freely with others. 53. What happened to participants after knowing previous random guesses? A. Their guesses became more random. B. They overestimated the number of sweets. C. They became more cautious about their own guesses. D. Their responses showed great variation from each other. 54. What can be inferred from Andrew King’s study about the “wisdom of the crowd”? A. Groupthink is unavoidable once the crowd is exposed to others’ guesses ahead of time. B. The median guess is more reliable than the average guess in economic bubble situations. C. Offering the best estimate to the crowd can help correct the influence of misleading information. D. The crowd’s guesses are always more accurate when members communicate as freely as possible. 55. What does the author think of the real-world effectiveness of “wisdom of the crowd”? A. It is dependent on the context. B. It can always achieve good outcomes. C. It is useless without external intervention. D. It works better in large groups than in small groups. 【答案】51. D 52. B 53. B 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍“群体智慧”现象，说明其在实际场景中受交流影响，提供最佳估算可纠正偏差，强调选择正确参考对象对其效果的重要性。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Even though their individual answers differ greatly, the average of their varied guesses tends to be surprisingly accurate. This phenomenon is called “wisdom of the crowd”.(尽管每个人的答案差异很大，但众人五花八门猜测的平均值往往惊人地准确。这种现象被称为“群体智慧”。)” 可知，“群体智慧”指群体猜测平均值往往出奇准确的趋势。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, these examples are somewhat artificial, because they involve decisions that are made in a social vacuum (社会真空). But in reality, people see what others around them are doing or intend to do.(这些例子有些人为刻意，因为它们的决策处于社会真空状态。但现实中人们会观察身边人的做法与想法。)”可知，社会真空状态下人们无法获知他人观点、彼此隔绝。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Andrew King from the Royal Veterinary College conducted a study with 82 participants guessing the number of sweets in a glass.Without extra information, the crowd’s median (中间值的) guess (751) nearly matched the actual number (752). However, when different groups were informed about previous random guesses, their median guesses ranged from 882 to 1109.(来自英国皇家兽医学院的安德鲁・金开展了一项研究，共有 82 名参与者参与猜测玻璃杯里糖果的数量。无额外信息时群体中间值751与实际752几乎一致。但获知他人随机猜测后，各组中间值在882至1109之间。)” 可知，在获知他人随机猜测后，参与者高估了糖果数量。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When participants were given the current best estimate, the median improved to 795.(当给到参与者当前最佳估算值时，猜测中间值改善到了795。)”可知，向群体提供最佳估值，有助于纠正误导信息带来的负面影响。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If anything, this study simply highlights how important it is to choose whom we follow. If we pick poorly, our decisions are worse. If we pick well, we perform better.(如果非要说的话，这项研究只是着重强调了选择追随对象的重要性。若是择人不善，我们的决策就会更糟糕；若是选对对象，我们的表现则会更加出色。)”可知，现实中群体智慧是否有效取决于所处情境与选择的参考对象。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上． 2．本卷共6小题，共35分． 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 When I slowly opened the front door, my sister ran after our brother, screaming for her doll back. “I have five siblings(brothers and sisters),” I said to my new neighbor, Michelle, a girl of my age. I led her to my bedroom. It was not big but I had to share it with my two sisters. When it was time for dinner, Michelle went back to her house with reluctance (不情愿). She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house. Soon, I was standing at her front door, ringing the bell. A woman answered. “Hello,” she said. “Michelle is upstairs.” I thought that she couldn’t be her mother. Michelle’s bedroom was more like a princess’s, complete with a king-size bed and a lot of toys I had never seen. How I wished I had such a room of my own! When I asked her about the woman downstairs, Michelle explained to me that she was her nanny (保姆), Marion. Then we played together and had a wonderful time. I went over to Michelle’s almost every day that summer. I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her. One day, we spent all afternoon playing a video game and forgot the time. My mom called and asked me to have dinner. I looked over at Michelle, rolling my eyes as I begged my mom to let me miss dinner. But that was not a battle I was going to win. “Fine, Mom, I’ll be home in five minutes,” I said. Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. “Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?” There was no extra chair, so we had to share one chair. But Michelle didn’t mind. Her eyes shined as she looked around at our table, talking excitedly with my sisters. When our meal was finished, she turned to me and whispered, “You’re so lucky to have such a big family.” I looked over at my siblings; they were jumping up and down. My parents were making coffee. Suddenly, my house—my crowded, messy, loud house—seemed like a paradise. 56. Why did Michelle call the author the next day? (no more than 8 words)​ ___________________________________________________________________________ 57. How did the author feel after going into Michelle’s bedroom? (no more than 5 words)​ ___________________________________________________________________________ 58. What was Michelle’s home like? (no more than 10 words)​ ___________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 6 mean? (no more than 2 words)​ ___________________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of the author’s family? And why? (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. To invite the author to her house. 57. She was full of envy. 58. It was rich materially but lacked affection. 59. Crossed/Came to/Appeared in/Occurred to. 60. 开放性试题，言之有理即可，答案可以为：I think the author’s family is quite warm because love and company matter most in a home. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者羡慕邻居米歇尔宽敞精致的家，而米歇尔却羡慕作者热闹温暖的大家庭，让作者明白幸福不在于物质，而在于亲情与陪伴。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。由第二段中“She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house.(第二天她打电话给我，我开心地接受了去她家的邀请。)”可知，米歇尔打电话是为了邀请作者去她家。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。由第三段中“How I wished I had such a room of my own!(我多么希望自己也有这样的房间啊！)”可知，走进米歇尔的卧室后，作者内心对其充满羡慕。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。由第四段中“I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her.(我很喜欢待在她干干净净的房间里。那里不用做家务，没有兄弟姐妹来吵闹打扰，也没有父母没完没了地唠叨我们。但米歇尔告诉我，她自己的父母很少在家，保姆也几乎不跟她说话。)”可知，米歇尔家物质富足却缺少关爱。 【59题详解】 考查词义猜测。由第六段中“Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind.(突然一个主意popped into我的脑海里。)”以及第七段““Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?”(“等一下，妈妈！”我说。“米歇尔今晚能和我们一起吃晚饭吗？”)”可知，这里指作者想到一个主意，即邀请米歇一起吃晚饭，所以短语popped into意为“想到、突然出现”。 【60题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你认为作者的家庭怎么样？为什么？（不超过 20 字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我认为作者的家庭很温暖，因为爱与陪伴才是家最重要的东西。 第二节:书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是李津，你的英国朋友 Chris 对国际艺术文化很感兴趣。一年一度的天津国际艺术节将于10月在天津音乐学院举办。请你给他写一封电子邮件，邀请他一同参加。 内容要点： （1）介绍艺术节（时间，地点等）； （2）说明邀请的原因（活动亮点，参与益处等）； （3）表达期待，盼望回复。 注意： （1）词数不少于 100 词； （2）可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇： 天津国际艺术节 Tianjin International Art Festival 天津音乐学院 Tianjin Conservatory of Music Dear Chris, I’m so glad to hear from you. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m so glad to hear from you.

The first year often means independence and freedom, yet it can also be stressful as you manage to be on your own, make new friends, and handle your course load. This is why many students and parents seek advice on managing college for the first time. Who is a First-Year College Student? Generally speaking, a first-year college student attends college for the first time at the undergraduate level. These students have finished high school or obtained their GED equivalency. First-year college students can also be first-generation college students, meaning they will be the first in their immediate family to graduate from a four-year college. Four Tips For Your First Year Tip 1: Build a Manageable Course Schedule While it’s tempting to overload your schedule or create a very light one, both pathways can lead to trouble. Instead, set a realistic schedule so you can attend classes on time. Knowing when you work best and your learning style will help you keep up your grades while leaving time for friends and activities. Tip 2: Check Your Student Email and Academic Portal Regularly Professors and school officials use a student’s email and academic portal to provide information about tests, assignments, and campus life. First-year students should log into these resources before the semester starts and learn how to manage them. Tip 3: Embrace Time-Management Tools If your parents or teachers helped you track assignments in high school, you might find managing your own time challenging at first. However, balancing academic and social life is possible with digital tools and apps. Students should also check out their college’s student support services. Tip 4: Be Open to Joining a Club or Taking Part in Campus Activities Getting involved helps students feel less alone and increases their sense of belonging. Being active in the college community, especially in leadership positions, is also attractive to employers. The first year at college is a life-changing time to grow, but it can also be challenging. Thankfully, you are never alone with the support of faculty, staff, and students around you. 36. What do we know about first-year college students from the first two paragraphs? A. They usually have no experience living on their own. B. Their main challenge is to avoid feeling stressed. C. They experience both freedom and pressure at the same time. D. Most of them turn to their parents for academic advice. 37. According to “Tip 1”, what is the author’s suggestion in the passage? A. Make a schedule that is either overloaded or too light. B. Form a well-organized timetable to avoid being late for class. C. Spend more time on academic studies and less time on activities. D.

B I first encountered Mr. Henderson in the spring of 2018, while volunteering at the local community garden. A retired schoolteacher with a weather-beaten face and a gentle smile, he was known among neighbors as the “Garden Sage”. At that time, I was struggling with my studies and felt overwhelmed by the pressure of college applications. Mr. Henderson noticed my restlessness as I stared helplessly at the patch of dry, barren soil assigned to me. “Soil needs patience, just like life,” he said, handing me a small trowel. “Water it, wait for the rain, and let nature take its course.” His words were simple, but they struck a chord deep within me. I began to visit his plot regularly, watching as he coaxed vibrant vegetables from the earth with an almost magical ease. He taught me to read the soil — its texture, its moisture, its scent — and to listen to the whispers of the seasons: the sigh of wind through leaves, the patter of early spring rain, the quiet hum of bees at dawn. Months passed, and our unlikely friendship blossomed. During one particularly difficult week, when I received disappointing news about my grades, I found myself at the garden, ready to give up. Instead of offering empty sympathy, Mr. Henderson handed me a ripe tomato still warm from the sun. “Taste it,” he said. “This grew from a seed that once looked just as dead as yours.” That moment of simple wisdom changed my perspective. I realized that growth isn’t always visible; sometimes it happens beneath the surface, unseen and unmeasured. I started keeping a small journal, sketching the plants I tended and noting their subtle changes — the first green shoot, the curl of a new leaf, the slow deepening of color. As the seasons turned, I not only harvested vegetables but also a sense of inner peace. Mr. Henderson’s quiet dedication reminded me that resilience (韧性) is not about avoiding storms, but about learning to grow in the rain. He didn’t preach or lecture; he simply lived his truth, one seed at a time. When he moved away last year, his lessons remained rooted in my heart. Now, whenever I face setbacks — whether in academics, relationships, or personal goals — I return to the garden, or to the memory of it, and remember: growth takes time. It requires patience, attention, and faith in the unseen. Mr. Henderson didn’t just teach me to dig in the garden; he taught me to live — slowly, deeply, and with grace. 41. What does the underlined phrase “struck a chord” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Touched his heart deeply. B. Brought immediate relief. C. Made him feel extremely anxious. D. Awakened his curiosity about gardening. 42. Why did Mr. Henderson give the author a tomato? A. To share the joy of harvest from his long-term gardening efforts. B. To prove that poor conditions don’t limit the potential of life. C. To push the author to devote more attention to gardening practice. D. To reveal that real improvement often takes place unseen and gradually. 43. What can be inferred about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He regretted giving up his college applications easily. B. He gained a new understanding of personal growth. C. He lost confidence due to disappointing academic news. D. He became expert at observing plants’ natural changes. 44. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Life lessons come from daily experiences. B. Patience helps people overcome difficulties. C. Nature can comfort people’s inner worries. D. Resilience means growing through hard times. 45. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To share a life-changing experience and its lasting influence. B. To encourage readers to take up gardening as a hobby. C. To stress the importance of patience in academic success. D. To introduce the benefits of community service work. C A drone (无人机) drops a small wooden object with three tails and a seed on the tip. It gently lands on the ground and sits there until it rains. Then, rain sinks into the wood fibers, and the tails start pushing the seed into the ground, where it will grow. The design of this incredible depth-seeking seed carrier is bio-inspired. When Erodium (a plant category) seeds land on the ground, their long tails start to straighten in the presence of dampness in the environment. This process generates a force that drives the seed into the soil, burying it in a more protected environment, ready for future growth. The new design, known as E-seeds, is the latest of many technologies presented as restoration “game-changers”. Yet, from restoration professionals’ point of view, the growing enthusiasm for shiny technologies might outshine established and practical solutions and thus shift limited financing, time and manpower from traditional approaches to such unproven innovations. This will severely weaken our ability to restore damaged ecosystems globally. The restoration of ecosystems typically begins with native vegetation (本土植物), where tree planting is costly, and direct seeding, though cheaper, is riskier as seeds may be blown off, eaten, or dried out if spread on the soil surface. Precision seeders (精量播种机), similar to those in agriculture, which open up the soil, preserve the seed at a proper depth and cover it, throw light upon what the E-seed technology should overcome. E-seeders take a page from precision seeders and therefore achieve the same result. Nonetheless, it’s unlikely that the multi-step process needed to produce E-seeds can be applied to the many billions of seeds across thousands of species we need to restore entire ecosystems. In addition, the tails of the E-seeds could easily get locked with each other, either blocking the seed delivery procedure or being released in groups rather than individually. Ecological restoration is an incredibly complex activity that goes beyond vegetation establishment. It must consider the complex and dynamic interactions between wildlife and their environments, while weighing social and economic consequences for local communities. Therefore, we must approach ecosystem restoration in a well-rounded manner and not get carried away by flashy technologies. 46. What do the designers of E-seeds learn from Erodium seeds? A. Their self-burying strategies. B. Their ability to store much water. C. Their means of landing on the ground. D. Their resistance to the external environment. 47. What may restoration professionals say about the restoration “game-changers”? A. They can cause the misdirection of resources. B. They can make the test of new innovations costly. C. They are the future of global ecosystem restoration. D. They are to replace traditional restoration techniques. 48. Why do the E-seeders copy the workings of precision seeders? A. To speed up the planting process. B. To enhance the survival rate of seeds. C. To keep accurate track of seed locations. D. To simplify the process of seed spreading. 49. From which aspect can the designers further improve E-seeds? A. The suitability for different seed species. B. The adaptability to various environments. C. The mass production and delivery approach. D. The ability to release seeds in large numbers. 50. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Ecological restoration only focuses on the recovery of native plants. B. Social and economic influences should be taken into account. C. Flashy technologies are the key to ecosystem restoration. D. Wildlife protection is more important than ecosystem restoration. D If you ask someone to guess the number of sweets in a glass, the chance of guessing correctly is low. But if you ask many people to take guesses, something odd happens. Even though their individual answers differ greatly, the average of their varied guesses tends to be surprisingly accurate. This phenomenon is called “wisdom of the crowd”. Examples of this range from counting beans in a glass to guessing the weight of an elephant. However, these examples are somewhat artificial, because they involve decisions that are made in a social vacuum (社会真空). But in reality, people see what others around them are doing or intend to do. We actively seek out what others are saying, and we have a natural tendency to follow successful individuals. So what happens to the wisdom of the crowd when the crowd talk to one another? Andrew King from the Royal Veterinary College conducted a study with 82 participants guessing the number of sweets in a glass. Without extra information, the crowd’s median (中间值的) guess (751) nearly matched the actual number (752). However, when different groups were informed about previous random guesses, their median guesses ranged from 882 to 1109. King compares this effect to real-world situations where people collectively drive prices far above their true value and create economic bubbles (经济泡沫). Is the crowd bound to fall into groupthink? Not quite. King found a way to restore accuracy. When participants were given the current best estimate, the median improved to 795. This mirrors what happens in real life. The crowd may be a social beast, but it doesn’t follow blindly. Certain individuals have dominant influence, and groups of soldiers, employees, players and even animals often rely on leaders or experts when making decisions. But King’s study still reflects an artificial situation, because he could provide the crowd with the closest guess. Real crowds rarely have that luxury. If anything, this study simply highlights how important it is to choose whom we follow. If we pick poorly, our decisions are worse. If we pick well, we perform better. Maybe the real trick to using the wisdom of the crowd is to recognize the most knowledgeable individuals. 51. What does “wisdom of the crowd” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The explanation for people’s being fond of making guesses. B. The phenomenon of people following others’ decisions. C. The process of averaging varied guesses out in a meaningful way. D. The tendency for group average guesses to be surprisingly accurate. 52. What is the situation of a social vacuum like? A. People share resources with each other. B. People are cut off from others’ opinions. C. People are guided by successful individuals. D. People discuss their ideas freely with others. 53. What happened to participants after knowing previous random guesses? A. Their guesses became more random. B. They overestimated the number of sweets. C. They became more cautious about their own guesses. D. Their responses showed great variation from each other. 54. What can be inferred from Andrew King’s study about the “wisdom of the crowd”? A. Groupthink is unavoidable once the crowd is exposed to others’ guesses ahead of time. B. The median guess is more reliable than the average guess in economic bubble situations. C. Offering the best estimate to the crowd can help correct the influence of misleading information. D. The crowd’s guesses are always more accurate when members communicate as freely as possible. 55. What does the author think of the real-world effectiveness of “wisdom of the crowd”? A. It is dependent on the context. B. It can always achieve good outcomes. C. It is useless without external intervention. D. It works better in large groups than in small groups. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上． 2．本卷共6小题，共35分． 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 When I slowly opened the front door, my sister ran after our brother, screaming for her doll back. “I have five siblings(brothers and sisters),” I said to my new neighbor, Michelle, a girl of my age. I led her to my bedroom. It was not big but I had to share it with my two sisters. When it was time for dinner, Michelle went back to her house with reluctance (不情愿). She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house. Soon, I was standing at her front door, ringing the bell. A woman answered. “Hello,” she said. “Michelle is upstairs.” I thought that she couldn’t be her mother. Michelle’s bedroom was more like a princess’s, complete with a king-size bed and a lot of toys I had never seen. How I wished I had such a room of my own! When I asked her about the woman downstairs, Michelle explained to me that she was her nanny (保姆), Marion. Then we played together and had a wonderful time. I went over to Michelle’s almost every day that summer. I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her. One day, we spent all afternoon playing a video game and forgot the time. My mom called and asked me to have dinner. I looked over at Michelle, rolling my eyes as I begged my mom to let me miss dinner. But that was not a battle I was going to win. “Fine, Mom, I’ll be home in five minutes,” I said. Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. “Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?” There was no extra chair, so we had to share one chair. But Michelle didn’t mind. Her eyes shined as she looked around at our table, talking excitedly with my sisters. When our meal was finished, she turned to me and whispered, “You’re so lucky to have such a big family.” I looked over at my siblings; they were jumping up and down. My parents were making coffee. Suddenly, my house—my crowded, messy, loud house—seemed like a paradise. 56. Why did Michelle call the author the next day?
