Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes: Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football. So you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same — any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant (斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ’but bananas make you fat, right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”
4. What does Cathy think about her job?
A. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people.
B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches.
C. It highly values experience and flexibility.
D. It hardly faces new challenges in every competition.
5. How does Cathy emphasize the importance of nutrition to athletes?
A. By making a comparison. B. By telling a story.
C. By providing data. D. By analyzing a phenomenon.
6. According to Cathy, what is a fundamental principle behind successful sports nutrition?
A. Cutting out specific foods from the diet.
B. Increasing the variety of foods.
C. Following a strict and militant diet plan.
D. Focusing on the timing of the diet.
7. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. A good eater is a great athlete.
B. Food is less important than skills in the sports field.
C. Nutrition determines the results in the competition.
D. Nutritionists act as unsung heroes behind athletes.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍体育营养学家凯西·温斯顿的工作理念、对运动员营养的看法以及其工作的核心要点。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football. So you know what you’re fueling for.”(在她看来,与来自不同运动背景的运动员打交道有助于她变得经验丰富,这是成为一名成功营养学家的关键部分。“你必须了解营养学和人,然后你才能开始在这个领域工作,”她说。“此外,在网球运动中,你必须学会随机应变,因为你不知道比赛会持续多久。然而,足球比赛是90分钟。所以你知道你要为什么样的情况提供能量。”)”可知,凯西认为她的工作非常重视经验(变得经验丰富)和灵活性(随机应变)。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks.(她建议她的运动员们像重视他们最重要的装备一样重视营养。“就像你不会忘记把护腿板或靴子放进你的运动包一样,不要忘记放进你的饮料和零食。”)”可知,凯西通过将营养与运动员最重要的装备作比较,来强调营养对运动员的重要性。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says.(但凯西坚持认为,什么时候吃比吃什么更重要。“关键在于什么时候吃才是合适的,”她说)”可知,凯西认为成功的运动营养背后的基本原则是关注饮食的时间。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段“Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes: Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist.(凯茜・温斯顿是一名运动营养师。她的常客中有不少运动员。凯茜十分享受工作的多样性,每一项新运动都带来全新挑战,也让她对自己选择的专业领域有了新的感悟。在她看来,服务不同运动项目背景的运动员,让她变得经验丰富,而这正是成为一名优秀营养师的关键)”并结合第二段“Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential.(不管是哪项运动,Cathy的态度都是一样的——任何不尊重营养的运动员都是未能发挥自己潜力的运动员)”可知,凯西作为体育营养学家,帮助运动员重视营养、合理饮食,助力运动员发挥潜力,而营养学家的作用往往被忽视,由此可推断,营养学家是运动员背后默默无闻的英雄。
C
Not long ago, I believed there were only two kinds of viewers: those who switched on subtitles only when the dialogue was unclear, and the unappreciative philistines (附庸风雅者) who left them on for no reason. I insisted that words at the bottom of the screen stole the purity of film art—the faint tremble of an actor’s lip or the perfect pause before a punchline.
Recent numbers, however, show that I am defending an empty castle. A 2021 survey found that 80% of viewers aged 18-25 “always” or “often” use subtitles. What makes the young so absorbed in reading while watching? The cliché blames a short attention span, but the real answer is more complicated. Growing up with phones in hand, Gen-Z treat television as only one panel in a multimedia mosaic (拼接画). The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”, texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption.
Social media has pushed the habit further. On TikTok or Instagram, subtitles appear by default (默认); many creators even design videos around rapid-fire (接二连三的) text that is impossible to switch off. Algorithms (算法) reward this choice: clips with open subtitles engage more viewers’ attention and are more likely to crop up in searches. Subtitles have turned from an accessibility tool into a business strategy.
The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text. My flatmate, once annoyed by words on the screen, now leaves them on even for films. “I don’t notice I’m reading,” she said with a shrug, “but I can’t turn them off either.” Studies show the practice improves recall of plot details, yet there is no evidence that it sharpens reading skills.
Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. After work, we cuddle up on the sofa longing not for beauty or surprise, but for the quiet satisfaction of “comprehension”. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish.
8. Why do Gen-Z viewers use subtitles while watching TV?
A. They have short attention spans.
B. They want to sharpen their reading skills.
C. They operate multiple functions meanwhile.
D. They find dialogues unclear,
9. Why do videos with subtitles enjoy greater popularity on social media?
A. They are more accessible for viewers.
B. Algorithms favor them and promote them more.
C. Rapid-fire subtitles appear by default.
D. They enhance the function of algorithms.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the widespread use of subtitles?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why We Should All Turn Off Subtitles
B. How Subtitles Ruin Film Art
C. From Aid to Necessity: The Subtitle Revolution
D. The Business of Subtitles: How Algorithms Drive Viewer Habits
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了年轻观众(特别是Z世代)在观看电视时使用字幕的现象,分析了其背后的原因、社交媒体对这一习惯的影响,以及作者对字幕广泛使用的态度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“ The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”, texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption. (调查显示,80%的Z世代观众在观看节目时会“双屏操作” ,即一边发短信或浏览内容,一边看节目。字幕就像快速下载一样:看一眼就能知道台词,眼睛再回到手机上,剧情也不会错过。效率胜过了纯粹的沉浸)”可知,年轻人使用字幕是因为他们经常双屏操作,一边看电视一边用手机。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Algorithms reward this choice: clips with open subtitles enjoy higher viewer retention and are more likely to crop up in searches. (算法奖励这种选择:带有开放字幕的视频片段更能吸引观众的注意力,也更容易在搜索中出现。)”可知,算法更青睐它们,并对其进行更多推广。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中 “The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text (这种变化并不总是受欢迎的。喜剧在笑话还没说出口之前就已经显露出来,就失去了时机;微妙的表演被简化为文字。).”以及最后一段中“Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish. (也许更深层次的转变在于我们的目的:我们观看是为了跟上节奏,而不是沉浸其中。电视本应是一种逃避;现在它成了我们高效完成的另一项任务。)” 可知,作者对字幕的广泛使用持批评态度。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了字幕功能从最初的辅助工具演变为如今年轻人观看视频时不可或缺的组成部分这一现象,并深入分析了其背后的社会和技术原因 (如多屏操作、社交媒体算法等)。C选项“从辅助到必需:字幕革命”准确概括了这一核心演变过程,全面呼应了文章内容。故选C。
D
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms, a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than humans. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away?
12. What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Make B. Reduce C. Encourage D. Overlook
13. The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as ________.
A. thought-provoking B. fast-paced C. time-consuming D. well-designed
14. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?
A. Ensuring the pleasure of driving
B. Making their sports cars affordable.
C. Removing public doubts about safety.
D. Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Porsche’s sports cars are facing serious market risks.
B. Simulators are the most important technology for self-driving cars.
C. Fully reliable and widely accepted self-driving cars still face major challenges.
D. Machine learning algorithms will soon replace human drivers completely.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是自动驾驶汽车技术的发展现状、面临的挑战以及汽车制造商为加速研发所采取的措施。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price. (但事实证明这很难实现,汽车制造商选择scale back许多这方面的尝试。例如,去年,网约车服务公司Uber以低价出售了其开发自动驾驶汽车的部门。)”可知,由于实现全自动驾驶很困难,汽车制造商选择减少尝试,Uber甚至低价出售了自动驾驶部门。因此,scale back意为“缩减、减少”。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years. (美国智库兰德公司计算得出,要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全20%的系统,100辆自动驾驶汽车车队必须每天24小时、每年365天运行,并行驶140亿公里。以平均道路速度计算,这将需要大约400年。)”可知,自动驾驶汽车学习安全驾驶的过程需要耗费极长的时间。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away? (鉴于拥有跑车的很大一部分原因是车主想炫耀他们自认为的驾驶技术,那么一个由软件取代这些炫耀权利的版本,市场会有多大呢?)”可知,对于保时捷这样的跑车制造商来说,自动驾驶技术会剥夺车主展示驾驶技术的机会,从而可能影响其跑车的市场吸引力。因此,自动驾驶汽车给保时捷带来的挑战是如何确保驾驶乐趣。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段指出实现全自动驾驶很困难,汽车制造商纷纷缩减尝试;第二段说明自动驾驶系统要达到比人类更安全需要极其漫长的时间;第三段提到制造商通过模拟器加速研发;最后一段提出监管者、消费者仍需克服疑虑,且跑车品牌还面临市场定位的挑战。综合可知,本文主要说明的是完全可靠且被广泛接受的自动驾驶汽车仍面临重大挑战。

How to communicate complex information?
Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you’re lost in confusing terms, data and concepts? Are you giving others this same experience? ___16___ But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and reengage your audience. Here’s how you can get complex information across.
Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. ___17___ Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. Making your presentation interactive used to be hard, but now you can just use Storydoc. Go make your first interactive presentation. It’s easy as pie.
___18___ No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. Images can be super effective at communicating complex information and save you a lot of needless text. In fact, visual representation of data and concepts can often convey what words cannot. Use diagrams and images to illustrate your points and simplify the complex.
Narrate your content. ___19___ Whether it’s through text to speech Al or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable.
Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. ___20___ More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant-those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners
A. Show, don’t tell
B. Make every word count.
C. This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar
D. If you don’t sound excited, the listeners won’t feel excited either
E. Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts.
F. Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations
G. For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何传递复杂的信息提出了一系列的建议。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you’re lost in confusing terms, data and concepts? Are you giving others this same experience? (你是否曾经读过一篇演讲,感觉自己迷失在混乱的术语、数据和概念中?你会给别人同样的经历吗?)”可知空前就交流中可能出现的术语、数据和概念的混乱提出了两个问题,根据空后“But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and reengage your audience. Here’s how you can get complex information across. (但是有一些方法可以简化你的演讲并重新吸引你的听众。下面是如何传递复杂信息的方法。)”可知此处指出有一些可以传递复杂信息的方法,空处承上启下,所以空处应该提出传递复杂信息这个话题,F项Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations. (在演讲中,传达复杂的信息是一个常见的挑战。)提出传递复杂信息这个话题,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. (使用交互式内容。这会让读者更积极地参与到你的演讲中来。)”可知本段的建议是使用交互式内容,根据空后“Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. (除此之外,问卷调查和聊天机器人为读者提供个性化和具体的答案,作为你演讲的一部分。)”可知此处仍然讲的是交互式内容的好处,空处呈上启下,所以空处应该就空前所提到的交互式内容举出例子,G项For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace. (例如,允许他们选择他们想要的内容路线并控制节奏。)举例说明如何使用交互式内容,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
空处位于句首,应是本段的主旨句。根据空后“No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. (没有人会读一篇一千字的报告。帮大家一个忙,使用图片。)”可知此处讲的是要善于运用图片而不是篇幅较长的文字来展示自己所讲的内容,所以空处的建议应该是运用展示而不是讲的方式来传递复杂信息,A项Show, don’t tell(展示,不要告诉)指出要用展示的方式,概括了本段的主旨大意,符合上下文语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Narrate your content. (叙述你的内容。)”可知本段的建议是运用讲故事的方式来传递复杂信息,根据空后“Whether it’s through text to speech Al or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable. (无论是通过文本到语音还是视频气泡,以故事为中心的演讲都可以帮助引导观众理解复杂的内容,使其更容易理解、更吸引人、更难忘。)”可知此处讲的仍然是通过讲故事的形式来传递信息的好处,所以空后应该对这一建议所能采用的方法进行进一步的解释,E项Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts. (讲故事是传达复杂概念的另一个强大工具。)指出了讲故事是叙述的传达复杂概念的一种强大工具,符合上下文语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. (使用例子和表格。它们可以帮助我们清楚地解释思想的复杂性,因为它们是我们已经知道和理解的。)”可知本段的建议是使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息,根据空后“More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant-those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners. (更重要的是,真正的秘诀在于选择那些不仅熟悉而且非常相关的例子——那些能真正引起听众共鸣的例子。)”可知此处依旧讲的使用例子的好处,空处承上启下,所以空处应该讲的是运用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处,C项This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar. (这使得复杂的概念不再那么新鲜,而是更加熟悉。)指出使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处,符合上下文语境。故选C项。

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。
Approximately 4000 years following the last glacial period, hunter-gatherer communities encountered another sudden climate shift that forced rapid adaptation to ____36____ (significant) colder conditions. The event, ____37____ (occur) 8200 years ago, brought about temperature declines of up to 6℃ within mere decades. Meanwhile, the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain’s geographical ____38____ (separate) from mainland Europe.
____39____ these severe environmental challenges, northern hemisphere (半球) populations demonstrated remarkable toughness and resilience. Through it all, people across the northern hemisphere survived, some by packing up and moving, others by sticking it out. Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes: “These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances.”
While previous research had examined regional impacts, Schulting’s comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwestern Europe and southern Siberia. To understand ____40____ they adapted, scientists compared archaeological findings, such as burial sites and ancient remains, with environmental evidence ____41____ (preserve) in ancient lake beds. This combination of clues allowed them to reconstruct past changes in climate and landscape with great ____42____ (precise).
Adaptation strategies ____43____ (vary) greatly across regions. Coastal communities in Norway’s Oslo fjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals, while Lake Baikal populations showed minimal disruption due to stable water-based supplies. In contrast, northwestern Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial patterns suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources, whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely, likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period.
This ancient climate event provides crucial insights into human responses to environmental crises. ____44____ researchers emphasize, the event serves as ____45____ critical case study for understanding how modern societies might address contemporary climate challenges, demonstrating that human adaptability remains essential for survival in changing environments.
【答案】36. significantly
37. occurring
38. separation
39. Despite
40. how 41. preserved
42. precision
43. varied 44. As
45. a
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍8200年前一次突发气候变冷事件引发环境巨变,远古人类展现出强大生存韧性,各地区采取不同适应策略,该事件也为现代应对气候挑战提供重要参考。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:末次冰河时期过后约四千年,狩猎采集群落遭遇了又一次突如其来的气候转变,迫使人类快速适应显著变冷的环境。此处修饰形容词colder,需用副词形式,significant的副词为significantly意为“显著”。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这场发生在八千二百年前的气候事件,在短短数十年内造成气温降幅高达六摄氏度。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,The event与occur之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词occurring。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:与此同时,一块苏格兰大小的陆地从挪威大陆架脱离,引发巨大海啸,彻底完成了不列颠岛与欧洲大陆的地理分隔。形容词geographical后接名词,separate的名词形式为separation意为“分隔”。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:尽管面临这些严峻的环境挑战,北半球人群仍展现出非凡的坚韧与适应能力。此处后接名词短语,表让步含义,所以用介词despite,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:为了解他们是如何适应环境的,科学家将墓地、古遗迹等考古发现与古湖床中留存的环境证据进行了对比。此处引导宾语从句,从句不缺主语和宾语,但句意不完整,结合句意,此处缺少方式状语,表示“如何”,所以用连接副词how。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了解他们是如何适应环境的,科学家将墓地、古遗迹等考古发现与古湖床中留存的环境证据进行了对比。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,evidence与preserve之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词preserved。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些线索的结合让他们能够极为精确地还原过去气候与地貌的变化。形容词great后接名词,precise的名词形式为precision意为“精确”,作介词with的宾语。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:不同地区的人类适应策略差异巨大。此处为谓语动词,结合下文的谓语动词“expanded”可知,此处叙述远古时期发生的事情,用一般过去时,vary的过去式为varied。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:正如研究人员所强调的,该事件是了解现代社会如何应对当下气候挑战的关键案例研究,这表明人类的适应能力对于在不断变化的环境中生存而言仍然至关重要。此处引导非限制性定语从句,置于主句之前,意为“正如”,所以用关系代词as,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:正如研究人员所强调的,该事件是了解现代社会如何应对当下气候挑战的关键案例研究,这表明人类的适应能力对于在不断变化的环境中生存而言仍然至关重要。case study为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一项关键的案例研究”为泛指,且critical是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mark, what a mess!” Mr. Thompson, the art teacher, exclaimed as he surveyed the paint-splattered (泼洒). Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.”
The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.”
With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces.
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. The blue paint shelf stood empty. “Mr. Thompson just restocked other colors yesterday,” Alex pointed to vibrant jars of purple and green. A sudden idea struck Mark. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s lesson about color blending — blue could be created by mixing green and purple! With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. Alex grinned, “You did it!” New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.
Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. Instead of traditional blue tones, his landscape shimmered with unexpected depth from the blended colors. The art teacher’s eyes widened in recognition. “Creative problem-solving deserves extra credit,” Mr. Thompson announced, placing a golden star sticker on Mark’s work. Across the room, Alex gave a thumbs-up as sunlight broke through the clouds, making the painting’s unique blues glow like real seawater. Mark touched his now paint-free shirt, understanding that mistakes could lead to brighter masterpieces.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,主要讲述的是Mark在为学校年度艺术展创作海景画时,因意外打翻颜料而毁掉作品,在懊恼与自责中,Mark走出画室,他的好友Alex带着Mark回美术用品室看看还有没有蓝色颜料的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一进储藏室,Mark的心就沉了下去。”可知,第一段可描写Mark看到了什么让他的心沉下去,结合下一段提示的内容可知,他们又是如何解决的没有蓝色颜料的问题并完成画作的。
②由第二段首句内容“两天后,Mark紧张地站在展览会上自己那幅“重生”的画作旁。”可知,第二段可描写这幅重生的画作有什么不同,以及老师和同学们看到后做出什么反应和Mark对此事的感悟。
2.续写线索:储藏室没有“海洋蓝”色——想到混合颜色得到蓝色——调出“海洋蓝”色——完成画作——师生称赞画作——Mark的感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①突然想起:strike/hit/occur to/dawn on
②颤抖:trembling/shivering/shaking
③匆忙返回:rushed back/ hurried back/returned hurriedly
情绪类
①笑:grin/smile broadly/beam/ chuckle happily
②惊讶:eyes widen/eyes open wide
【点睛】[高分句型1] With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. (运用了现在分词短语作状语以及省略关系代词的定语从句)
[高分句型2] New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语)

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is a groundbreaking solution that enables electric vehicles (EVs) to interact bidirectionally with the power grid — storing excess energy when demand is low and feeding it back to the grid during peak hours. PowerSync's V2G service makes this innovative technology accessible to everyday EV owners, offering both environmental benefits and financial rewards.
Hardware Requirement
Users can choose a compatible (兼容的) V2G charger provided by PowerSync for £399, or use their own existing certified V2G charger. The charger connects the EV to the grid and communicates with PowerSync's smart platform.
Smart Energy Management
The PowerSync app lets users set preferences: reserve battery power for daily drives, schedule charging during off-peak periods, or allow the system to automatically sell surplus energy back to the grid when prices are highest.
Earnings & Savings
Users earn £0.12 — £0.18 per kWh of energy fed back to the grid (rates vary by time of day). Typical EV owners save £200 — 400 annually on electricity bills and earn an additional £150 — £300 in grid feedback rewards.

Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes: Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football. So you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same — any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant (斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ’but bananas make you fat, right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”
4. What does Cathy think about her job?
A. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people.
B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches.

Not long ago, I believed there were only two kinds of viewers: those who switched on subtitles only when the dialogue was unclear, and the unappreciative philistines (附庸风雅者) who left them on for no reason. I insisted that words at the bottom of the screen stole the purity of film art—the faint tremble of an actor’s lip or the perfect pause before a punchline.
Recent numbers, however, show that I am defending an empty castle. A 2021 survey found that 80% of viewers aged 18-25 “always” or “often” use subtitles. What makes the young so absorbed in reading while watching? The cliché blames a short attention span, but the real answer is more complicated. Growing up with phones in hand, Gen-Z treat television as only one panel in a multimedia mosaic (拼接画). The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”, texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption.
Social media has pushed the habit further. On TikTok or Instagram, subtitles appear by default (默认); many creators even design videos around rapid-fire (接二连三的) text that is impossible to switch off. Algorithms (算法) reward this choice: clips with open subtitles engage more viewers’ attention and are more likely to crop up in searches. Subtitles have turned from an accessibility tool into a business strategy.
The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text. My flatmate, once annoyed by words on the screen, now leaves them on even for films. “I don’t notice I’m reading,” she said with a shrug, “but I can’t turn them off either.” Studies show the practice improves recall of plot details, yet there is no evidence that it sharpens reading skills.
Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. After work, we cuddle up on the sofa longing not for beauty or surprise, but for the quiet satisfaction of “comprehension”. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish.
8. Why do Gen-Z viewers use subtitles while watching TV?
A. They have short attention spans.
B. They want to sharpen their reading skills.
C. They operate multiple functions meanwhile.
D. They find dialogues unclear,
9. Why do videos with subtitles enjoy greater popularity on social media?
A. They are more accessible for viewers.
B. Algorithms favor them and promote them more.
C. Rapid-fire subtitles appear by default.
D. They enhance the function of algorithms.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the widespread use of subtitles?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why We Should All Turn Off Subtitles
B. How Subtitles Ruin Film Art
C. From Aid to Necessity: The Subtitle Revolution
D. The Business of Subtitles: How Algorithms Drive Viewer Habits
D
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms, a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than humans. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away?
12. What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Make B. Reduce C. Encourage D. Overlook
13. The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as ________.
A. thought-provoking B. fast-paced C. time-consuming D. well-designed
14. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?
A. Ensuring the pleasure of driving
B. Making their sports cars affordable.
C. Removing public doubts about safety.
D. Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Porsche’s sports cars are facing serious market risks.
B. Simulators are the most important technology for self-driving cars.
C. Fully reliable and widely accepted self-driving cars still face major challenges.
D. Machine learning algorithms will soon replace human drivers completely.

Approximately 4000 years following the last glacial period, hunter-gatherer communities encountered another sudden climate shift that forced rapid adaptation to ____36____ (significant) colder conditions. The event, ____37____ (occur) 8200 years ago, brought about temperature declines of up to 6℃ within mere decades. Meanwhile, the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain’s geographical ____38____ (separate) from mainland Europe.
____39____ these severe environmental challenges, northern hemisphere (半球) populations demonstrated remarkable toughness and resilience. Through it all, people across the northern hemisphere survived, some by packing up and moving, others by sticking it out. Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes: “These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances.”
While previous research had examined regional impacts, Schulting’s comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwestern Europe and southern Siberia. To understand ____40____ they adapted, scientists compared archaeological findings, such as burial sites and ancient remains, with environmental evidence ____41____ (preserve) in ancient lake beds. This combination of clues allowed them to reconstruct past changes in climate and landscape with great ____42____ (precise).
Adaptation strategies ____43____ (vary) greatly across regions. Coastal communities in Norway’s Oslo fjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals, while Lake Baikal populations showed minimal disruption due to stable water-based supplies. In contrast, northwestern Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial patterns suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources, whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely, likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period.
This ancient climate event provides crucial insights into human responses to environmental crises. ____44____ researchers emphasize, the event serves as ____45____ critical case study for understanding how modern societies might address contemporary climate challenges, demonstrating that human adaptability remains essential for survival in changing environments.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mark, what a mess!” Mr. Thompson, the art teacher, exclaimed as he surveyed the paint-splattered (泼洒). Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.”
The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.”
With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces.
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank.
