A 【解析】 【原文】W: After heart surgery, Katharine Holmes was determined to get back to the dance she loved. Katharine, 62, from Suffolk, the UK became a keen dancer in her 40s. “My two children were growing up and I thought it’s time for me to do something I enjoy,” she said. Katharine, who worked in a library, always won competitions. “When I first started dancing, it was mainly Latin dances, like Samba and Jive. Then I started ballroom dancing, like Tango. My absolute favorite is dancing the Foxtrot to Fly Me to the Moon. It’s so smooth and fantastic,” she added. It was at a dance in 2018 that she started feeling unwell. Katharine realized she should have got medical help immediately. But she didn’t want to make a fuss, so she went home. After she had arrived, her husband Frank called an ambulance. She was taken to the hospital and then had heart surgery. She even had strokes after the operation. “I couldn’t get out of bed or walk at first,” she said. Challenges that she faced included the loss of balance and weaker muscles, but they didn’t stop her from dancing. With her strong will and hard work, she got back to a good enough standard to compete in the grand finals of a dance competition held at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)? The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 22. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 23. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了Marley对社交媒体的沉迷是否需要戒断，展现了两位朋友的观点及读者的看法。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online.(我的工作意味着我必须时刻关注网上的流行趋势)”可知，Marley花时间在抖音上的原因是她需要了解最新的网络趋势。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Margo, 29部分“While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.(虽然Marley对TikTok的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度，但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受，他应该搬出去)”可知，只有Margo全力支持Marley。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?(在我们的读者反馈部分，告诉我们：Marley应该离开TikTok，开始自己的生活吗？)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。 B At 24, Carina Hong founded an AI company called Axiom Math. With its unique technical ideas and clear development goals, the company has changed traditional views in the Silicon Valley investment capital circle. Born in Guangzhou in 2001, Hong came from a family where neither parent had received higher education. She grew up like other kids, and showed no special talent until she started learning Olympiad mathematics in junior high school — this unlocked her potential and surprised everyone. In high school, Hong was selected into Guangdong Provincial Olympiad Mathematics Team, and in 2018, she entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with excellent results. She double-majored in Maths and Physics, completed over 20 advanced courses, and served as president of student organisations to help international students. Later, she won the Rhodes Scholarship to study Neuroscience at Oxford, then pursued two doctoral degrees at Stanford while offering legal aid to low-income people. During this period, Hong focused on the combination of AI and mathematics. Noticing AI’s big shortcomings in mathematical reasoning, she founded Axiom Math, whose core idea is to transform English mathematical content from textbooks, papers and journals into programmable knowledge. This allows AI to not only solve complex mathematical problems but also confirm solutions through strict validation (验证). Axiom Math’s goal is to develop a real “AI Mathematician” with logical reasoning ability, and Hong even hopes that “AI mathematicians” will put forward brand-new mathematical conjectures (猜想) in the future. With her good academic reputation and clear technical goals, she attracted many top talents to Axiom Math. A famous mathematician even left his permanent teaching position to join the team, and they worked together to build a strict logical reasoning training system by adopting a new model. Carina Hong’s story is one of vision and commitment. Built on solid academic training and driven by a clear goal — to give AI true mathematical reasoning ability — she is leading Axiom Math toward a future where machines and mathematicians work side by side 24. What awakened Carina Hong’s potential in her youth? A. Her parents’ educational background. B. Learning Olympiad maths. C. Her ambition to study at MIT. D. Helping international students. 25. What can we infer about Carina Hong from the text? A. She is academically and socially excellent. B. She focuses on earning academic titles. C. She owes her success to her family’s support. D. She plans to leave the tech industry for legal work. 26. Why did Carina Hong set up Axiom Math? A. To offer legal aid to the poor. B. To train more AI professionals. C. To change views in the capital circle. D. To develop an AI with reasoning skills. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. A Rhodes Scholar’s Academic Journey B. Axiom Math Redefining Artificial Intelligence C. From Olympiad Maths to AI Mathematician D. The Founding of a Silicon Valley Startup 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述华裔青年Carina Hong的求学创业路，打造AI数学公司逐梦科研。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She grew up like other kids, and showed no special talent until she started learning Olympiad mathematics in junior high school — this unlocked her potential and surprised everyone. (她和其他孩子一样成长，直到初中开始学习奥数，她才展露天赋——这开启了她的潜能，让所有人惊讶。)”可知，初中学习奥数唤醒了Carina Hong年少时的潜能。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In high school, Hong was selected into Guangdong Provincial Olympiad Mathematics Team, and in 2018, she entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with excellent results. She double-majored in Maths and Physics, completed over 20 advanced courses, and served as president of student organisations to help international students. Later, she won the Rhodes Scholarship to study Neuroscience at Oxford, then pursued two doctoral degrees at Stanford while offering legal aid to low-income people. (高中时，Hong同学入选广东省奥林匹克数学代表队，并于2018年以优异成绩考入麻省理工学院（MIT）。她主修数学与物理双学位，修完了20多门高阶课程，还担任学生组织主席，帮助国际学生。后来，她获得罗德奖学金，前往牛津大学攻读神经科学，之后又在斯坦福大学攻读两个博士学位，同时为低收入人群提供法律援助。)”可知，她学业成绩拔尖，同时热衷学生工作、热心助人，学术和社交能力都十分出色。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Noticing AI’s big shortcomings in mathematical reasoning, she founded Axiom Math, whose core idea is to transform English mathematical content from textbooks, papers and journals into programmable knowledge. This allows AI to not only solve complex mathematical problems but also confirm solutions through strict validation (验证). Axiom Math’s goal is to develop a real “AI Mathematician” with logical reasoning ability, and Hong even hopes that “AI mathematicians” will put forward brand-new mathematical conjectures (猜想) in the future. (注意到人工智能在数学推理方面存在重大缺陷，她创立了Axiom Math公司。该公司的核心理念是把教科书、论文和期刊中的英文数学内容转化为可程序化的知识。这使得人工智能不仅能够解决复杂的数学问题，还能通过严格验证来确认答案。Axiom Math的目标是研发出真正具备逻辑推理能力的“AI 数学家”。洪女士甚至希望，未来“AI 数学家”能够提出全新的数学猜想。)可知，她创办公司是为了研发拥有数学推理能力的人工智能。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以Carina Hong的成长轨迹为线索，从初中奥数启蒙潜能，到顶尖名校深造，再到创办AI数学公司、研发AI数学家，全程围绕奥数起步到打造AI数学家的经历展开。因此C项“从奥数选手到AI数学家”能概括文章主旨，可作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。 C Have you ever thought, “Maybe this is all I’m ever meant to be?” Many of us are trapped by labels like “not talented enough” — as if life were a one-way road with no turns. Barbara Oakley’s Mindshift works like a wise guide, helping us remove these mental blocks. It doesn’t offer empty encouragement, but breaks down the science behind change. The first part of the book tells stories of ordinary people who dared to reshape their lives. Graham Keir, a musician, once believed he had “no brain for science” and today walks the halls of medical school. Or Ali, who once struggled with basic maths, only to later master coding (编程) and earn multiple promotions. These are not tales of sudden genius, but of imperfect practice through setbacks and slow progress. Oakley introduces a powerful concept — second-skilling. In today’s fast-changing world, relying on just one area of expertise is risky. Developing a second skill can make you more adaptable. If the first part helps us see what’s possible, the second is a guide for making it happen. Oakley draws on interviews with dozens of career changers to show what strategies worked and what pitfalls to avoid. Beyond learning from others, the book’s second part offers honest advice for quieting self-doubt and turning learning from a chore into a habit. One of the book’s most valuable insights is that what matters is not “intense practice every day”, but “practise every day, without fail”. Even fifteen minutes daily sends steady signals that quietly reshape your brain. That said, the book’s perspective isn’t universal. Rooted in a Western context, it draws largely on stable professionals — leaving quieter questions about those facing real hardship. And while it prioritises practice over passion, some may find this approach cool to the touch. Yet perhaps that coolness is its strength: it doesn’t sell miracles, but offers a solid framework. After reading, you may not have all the answers. But you might ask: “Could what I once thought impossible actually be within reach?” Ultimately, Mindshift gives something better: a mind open and flexible, ready for change. And that, perhaps, is the truest mindshift of all. 28. What can we learn about Mindshift from paragraph 1? A. It describes life as a fixed path. B. It emphasises the importance of talent. C. It helps overcome inner obstacle for change. D. It provides readers with emotional comfort. 29. What do the examples of Graham and Ali mainly show? A. The value of second-skilling. B. The power of sudden genius. C. The importance of passion. D. The risk of changing careers. 30. What does the underlined word “pitfalls” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Complicated skills. B. Hidden traps. C. Strong biases. D. Imagined threats. 31. What is the author’s overall attitude towards Mindshift? A. Cautiously opposed. B. Appreciative yet critical. C. Highly favourable. D. Imagined threats. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章介绍书籍《Mindshift》的核心内容、价值及局限性，传递终身成长理念。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Barbara Oakley’s Mindshift works like a wise guide, helping us remove these mental blocks.(芭芭拉·奥克利的《思维转变》就像一位睿智的向导，帮助我们消除这些心理障碍)”可知，这本书能帮助人们克服内心阻碍，实现自我改变。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“These are not tales of sudden genius, but of imperfect practice through setbacks and slow progress. Oakley introduces a powerful concept — second-skilling.(这些并非突然开窍的天才故事，而是历经挫折、缓慢进步的点滴实践。奥克利提出了一个强有力的概念——二次技能培养)”可知，格雷厄姆和阿里的事例，是为了论证二次技能培养的价值，打破固有标签实现人生重塑。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Oakley draws on interviews with dozens of career changers to show what strategies worked and what pitfalls to avoid.(奥克利通过采访数十位转行人士，阐述了哪些方法有效，以及要避开哪些pitfalls)”可知，句中“strategies worked”与“pitfalls to avoid”形成对应，结合语境可猜测pitfalls意为“潜在的陷阱、易犯的错误”，与Hidden traps意思相近。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“That said, the book’s perspective isn’t universal.(即便如此，这本书的观点并非普适)”以及第五段“Yet perhaps that coolness is its strength: it doesn’t sell miracles, but offers a solid framework.(但或许这种理性正是它的优势：它不宣扬奇迹，而是提供可靠的框架)”可知，作者既肯定了该书的实用价值，也指出了其视角局限性，态度为欣赏但带有批判性。故选B项。 D In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places — including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertiliser (肥料) use, is a major climate concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century. To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的) life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil. The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective. However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland of Purdue University, an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, this bacterial treatment could have a major impact on reducing agriculture’s contribution to climate change. 32. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern? A. It is released in larger amounts than CO2. B. It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time. C. It comes mainly from industrial production. D. It has a much stronger warming effect than CO2. 33. What did the researchers find? A. A way to help farmers increase fertiliser use. B. A bacterium that stays in the soil forever. C. A method to produce more biofuels from waste. D. A microbe that cuts N2O without harming soil. 34. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? A. Its potential benefits. B. Its working principle. C. Its producing process. D. Its research value. 35. What prevents the application of the finding? A. Shortage of necessary bacteria. B. Difficulty in large-scale testing. C. Lack of economic benefit for farmers. D. Uncertainty about its effect. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了特定细菌可减少农业一氧化二氮排放。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century.(据挪威生命科学大学的合著者Lars Bakken教授称，这种气体使大气变暖的效率是二氧化碳的265倍，并且可以在空气中停留一个多世纪)”可知，一氧化二氮是主要的气候问题是因为它比二氧化碳的变暖效应强得多。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的) life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil.(为了开发解决方案，研究人员使用有机废物培养细菌。在以往工作的基础上，他们寻找一种微生物，这种微生物能够减少一氧化二氮的排放，而不会在土壤中停留太久，从而危害对作物健康重要的其他生命形式。两周后，第二次施肥处理后，细菌减少了约一半的排放。三个月后，微生物的组成没有变化，这表明细菌不会伤害土壤)”可知，研究人员发现了一种能减少一氧化二氮排放且不伤害土壤的微生物。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第四段中“The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective.(这些细菌没有经过基因改造，自然存在于厌氧消化器中，厌氧消化器是将有机废物转化为生物燃料的设施。亚利桑那大学的Paul Carini没有参与这项研究，他说，这可能会让人们更容易接受它们的使用。此外，Bakken表示，这为农田管理“开辟了许多新的可能性”。这种细菌可以添加到肥料中，为农民提供潜在的直接应用。正如Carini所指出的，利用一个工业过程的废物产品来造福另一个工业过程是具有成本效益的)”可知，第四段主要讨论了这种细菌的潜在好处。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods.(更关键的是，农民目前没有采用这种方法的经济动力)”可知，缺乏对农民的经济利益阻碍了这一发现的应用。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Happiness: Protecting Your Heart Scientists have long known that having a cheerful personality is good for your health. A positive outlook on life is linked to a healthier heart and longer life. ____36____ Now, two new studies published this week have found specific healthy behaviors that explain the link. Previous research has found that people who are optimistic, have a sense of purpose and are satisfied with their lives have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. ____37____ These healthy habits in turn protect their hearts, according to studies involving nearly 5,000 people. One study looked at how a sense of purpose affects our health. Having a reason to get up in the morning, such as work or caring for a loved one, is known to protect against heart attacks and stroke. The new research found that those with a higher sense of purpose were more likely to have lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) and fewer inflammation (炎症) signs in their blood. ____38____ The second study, of 700 people, showed that optimistic people had significantly lower blood sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. These are two key risk factors for heart disease.

A positive outlook on life is linked to a healthier heart and longer life.(科学家早就知道开朗的性格对健康有益。积极的人生观与更健康的心脏和更长的寿命有关)”指出快乐对健康有益这一已知事实，D选项“But how happiness protects the heart has long been a mystery.(但快乐如何保护心脏长期以来一直是个谜)”与上文构成转折，提出问题——快乐保护心脏的机制尚不清楚；下文“Now, two new studies published this week have found specific healthy behaviors that explain the link.(现在，本周发表的两项新研究发现了解释这种联系的具体健康行为)”承接D选项，指出新研究揭示了其中的机制，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【37题详解】 上文“Previous research has found that people who are optimistic, have a sense of purpose and are satisfied with their lives have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.(先前的研究发现，乐观、有目标感且对生活满意的人患心脏病和中风的风险较低)”指出积极心态与低风险相关，F选项“They are more likely to eat well, exercise regularly and sleep better.(他们更有可能吃得好、定期锻炼和睡得更好)”承接上文，解释原因——这些人的健康行为更佳；下文“These healthy habits in turn protect their hearts, according to studies involving nearly 5,000 people.(根据一项涉及近5000人的研究，这些健康习惯反过来保护了他们的心脏)”中的“These healthy habits”指代F选项中提到的饮食、锻炼和睡眠习惯，上下文逻辑一致。故选F项。 【38题详解】 上文“The new research found that those with a higher sense of purpose were more likely to have lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) and fewer inflammation (炎症) signs in their blood.(新研究发现，目标感更强的人更有可能具有较低水平的皮质醇和较少的血液炎症迹象)”指出目标感强的人生理指标更健康，A选项“Both of them are linked to a higher risk of heart disease.(这两者都与较高的心脏病风险相关)”承接上文，说明皮质醇和炎症迹象与心脏病风险的关系，解释了为什么目标感强能保护心脏——因为降低了这些风险因素，其中“Both of them”指代上文的“cortisol”和“inflammation signs”，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【39题详解】 上文““These studies prove that happiness and life satisfaction influence our physical health,” said Dr. Julia Boehm from Harvard University. Happier people have lower risk factors for heart disease.(哈佛大学的Julia Boehm博士表示：“这些研究证明，幸福感和生活满意度会影响我们的身体健康。”更快乐的人患心脏病的风险因素更低)”总结了研究发现，C选项“This is probably because they take better care of themselves.(这很可能是因为他们更好地照顾自己)”承接上文，解释更快乐的人风险因素更低的原因——更好的自我照顾，其中“This”指代上文中更快乐的人风险因素更低这一现象，上下文逻辑一致。故选C项。 【40题详解】 上文“Experts believe yes. Simple techniques like recording good daily events or performing random kindness can boost happiness.(专家们认为可以。简单的方法，如记录日常好事或随机行善，可以提升幸福感)”指出幸福感可以通过练习提升，E选项“Optimism is a quality that can be developed, not unchangeable.(乐观是一种可以培养的品质，并非一成不变)”承接上文，进一步强调乐观是可塑的、可发展的，与上文“can boost happiness”相呼应；下文“So next time you feel down, remember: looking on the bright side could save your life.(所以下次你感到沮丧时，请记住：看到光明的一面可以挽救你的生命)”中的“remember: looking on the bright side”与E选项中的“Optimism can be developed”相呼应，鼓励读者培养乐观心态，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was hard to say goodbye to the old oak tree in our backyard.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 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。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly. To cover the cost of cat food and shelter materials, we decided to raise a small fund by asking willing residents to donate a little money each month. Many neighbors showed support, and some even signed up to be volunteers immediately. We divided the responsibilities clearly, ensuring every task was taken care of. After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. The shelter provided a safe home for the cats, and volunteers fed them on time without leaving any leftover food. The cooperation between animal lovers and other residents eliminated the conflict completely. No more flies gathered around the gate, and the cats no longer wandered into yards randomly. Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved. It turned out that every problem could be solved with kindness and joint efforts. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名喜爱动物的高中生，长期喂养小区里的流浪猫，后来越来越多邻居参与投喂，导致环境变差、邻里矛盾激化，大家对流浪猫的态度两极分化。在小区管理员的启发下，作者决定提出一个兼顾流浪猫和邻居利益的解决方案，希望化解冲突、救助流浪猫。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“李女士称赞了我的计划，并同意帮我付诸实践。”可知，第一段可描写实践的具体内容以及邻居们的支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过两周的共同努力，社区焕然一新。”可知，第二段可描写小窝为社区生活带来的变化以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：开会阐述想法——邻居表示支持——小窝带来积极影响——作者感到自豪——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②捐赠：donate/give away ③展示：show/display ④照顾：take care of/attend to 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②对……感到自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved.（运用了现在分词短语Seeing…作状语，what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式。开始。请看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有。5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。If I remember . rightly, there was a garage on the first floor.

The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 22. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 23. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. B At 24, Carina Hong founded an AI company called Axiom Math. With its unique technical ideas and clear development goals, the company has changed traditional views in the Silicon Valley investment capital circle. Born in Guangzhou in 2001, Hong came from a family where neither parent had received higher education. She grew up like other kids, and showed no special talent until she started learning Olympiad mathematics in junior high school — this unlocked her potential and surprised everyone. In high school, Hong was selected into Guangdong Provincial Olympiad Mathematics Team, and in 2018, she entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with excellent results. She double-majored in Maths and Physics, completed over 20 advanced courses, and served as president of student organisations to help international students. Later, she won the Rhodes Scholarship to study Neuroscience at Oxford, then pursued two doctoral degrees at Stanford while offering legal aid to low-income people. During this period, Hong focused on the combination of AI and mathematics. Noticing AI’s big shortcomings in mathematical reasoning, she founded Axiom Math, whose core idea is to transform English mathematical content from textbooks, papers and journals into programmable knowledge. This allows AI to not only solve complex mathematical problems but also confirm solutions through strict validation (验证). Axiom Math’s goal is to develop a real “AI Mathematician” with logical reasoning ability, and Hong even hopes that “AI mathematicians” will put forward brand-new mathematical conjectures (猜想) in the future. With her good academic reputation and clear technical goals, she attracted many top talents to Axiom Math. A famous mathematician even left his permanent teaching position to join the team, and they worked together to build a strict logical reasoning training system by adopting a new model. Carina Hong’s story is one of vision and commitment. Built on solid academic training and driven by a clear goal — to give AI true mathematical reasoning ability — she is leading Axiom Math toward a future where machines and mathematicians work side by side 24. What awakened Carina Hong’s potential in her youth? A. Her parents’ educational background. B. Learning Olympiad maths. C. Her ambition to study at MIT. D. Helping international students. 25. What can we infer about Carina Hong from the text? A. She is academically and socially excellent. B. She focuses on earning academic titles. C. She owes her success to her family’s support. D. She plans to leave the tech industry for legal work. 26. Why did Carina Hong set up Axiom Math? A. To offer legal aid to the poor. B. To train more AI professionals. C. To change views in the capital circle. D. To develop an AI with reasoning skills. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. A Rhodes Scholar’s Academic Journey B. Axiom Math Redefining Artificial Intelligence C. From Olympiad Maths to AI Mathematician D. The Founding of a Silicon Valley Startup C Have you ever thought, “Maybe this is all I’m ever meant to be?” Many of us are trapped by labels like “not talented enough” — as if life were a one-way road with no turns. Barbara Oakley’s Mindshift works like a wise guide, helping us remove these mental blocks. It doesn’t offer empty encouragement, but breaks down the science behind change. The first part of the book tells stories of ordinary people who dared to reshape their lives. Graham Keir, a musician, once believed he had “no brain for science” and today walks the halls of medical school. Or Ali, who once struggled with basic maths, only to later master coding (编程) and earn multiple promotions. These are not tales of sudden genius, but of imperfect practice through setbacks and slow progress. Oakley introduces a powerful concept — second-skilling. In today’s fast-changing world, relying on just one area of expertise is risky. Developing a second skill can make you more adaptable. If the first part helps us see what’s possible, the second is a guide for making it happen. Oakley draws on interviews with dozens of career changers to show what strategies worked and what pitfalls to avoid. Beyond learning from others, the book’s second part offers honest advice for quieting self-doubt and turning learning from a chore into a habit. One of the book’s most valuable insights is that what matters is not “intense practice every day”, but “practise every day, without fail”. Even fifteen minutes daily sends steady signals that quietly reshape your brain. That said, the book’s perspective isn’t universal. Rooted in a Western context, it draws largely on stable professionals — leaving quieter questions about those facing real hardship. And while it prioritises practice over passion, some may find this approach cool to the touch. Yet perhaps that coolness is its strength: it doesn’t sell miracles, but offers a solid framework. After reading, you may not have all the answers. But you might ask: “Could what I once thought impossible actually be within reach?” Ultimately, Mindshift gives something better: a mind open and flexible, ready for change. And that, perhaps, is the truest mindshift of all. 28. What can we learn about Mindshift from paragraph 1? A. It describes life as a fixed path. B. It emphasises the importance of talent. C. It helps overcome inner obstacle for change. D. It provides readers with emotional comfort. 29. What do the examples of Graham and Ali mainly show? A. The value of second-skilling. B. The power of sudden genius. C. The importance of passion. D. The risk of changing careers. 30. What does the underlined word “pitfalls” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Complicated skills. B. Hidden traps. C. Strong biases. D. Imagined threats. 31. What is the author’s overall attitude towards Mindshift? A. Cautiously opposed. B. Appreciative yet critical. C. Highly favourable. D. Imagined threats. D In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places — including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertiliser (肥料) use, is a major climate concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century. To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的) life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil. The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective. However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland of Purdue University, an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, this bacterial treatment could have a major impact on reducing agriculture’s contribution to climate change. 32. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern? A. It is released in larger amounts than CO2. B. It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time. C. It comes mainly from industrial production. D. It has a much stronger warming effect than CO2. 33. What did the researchers find? A. A way to help farmers increase fertiliser use. B. A bacterium that stays in the soil forever. C. A method to produce more biofuels from waste. D. A microbe that cuts N2O without harming soil. 34. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? A. Its potential benefits. B. Its working principle. C. Its producing process. D. Its research value. 35. What prevents the application of the finding? A. Shortage of necessary bacteria. B. Difficulty in large-scale testing. C. Lack of economic benefit for farmers. D. Uncertainty about its effect. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Happiness: Protecting Your Heart Scientists have long known that having a cheerful personality is good for your health. A positive outlook on life is linked to a healthier heart and longer life. ____36____ Now, two new studies published this week have found specific healthy behaviors that explain the link. Previous research has found that people who are optimistic, have a sense of purpose and are satisfied with their lives have a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. ____37____ These healthy habits in turn protect their hearts, according to studies involving nearly 5,000 people. One study looked at how a sense of purpose affects our health. Having a reason to get up in the morning, such as work or caring for a loved one, is known to protect against heart attacks and stroke. The new research found that those with a higher sense of purpose were more likely to have lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) and fewer inflammation (炎症) signs in their blood. ____38____ The second study, of 700 people, showed that optimistic people had significantly lower blood sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. These are two key risk factors for heart disease. Optimists also tended to be more physically active and less likely to smoke. “These studies prove that happiness and life satisfaction influence our physical health,” said Dr. Julia Boehm from Harvard University. Happier people have lower risk factors for heart disease. ____39____ But can miserable people learn to be happy? Experts believe yes. Simple techniques like recording good daily events or performing random kindness can boost happiness. ____40____ So next time you feel down, remember: looking on the bright side could save your life. A. Both of them are linked to a higher risk of heart disease. B. Being unhappy can increase the levels of stress hormones. C. This is probably because they take better care of themselves. D. But how happiness protects the heart has long been a mystery. E. Optimism is a quality that can be developed, not unchangeable. F. They are more likely to eat well, exercise regularly and sleep better. G. People with strong purpose seldom suffer from serious heart problems. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was hard to say goodbye to the old oak tree in our backyard.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 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。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
