W: I helped put up some new buildings, which was fun.

Cold weather can actually have a big impact on your health. Let’s learn something so as to stay safe and healthy this season! Why Is Cold Winter A Challenge? Winter brings more than just colds. Icy sidewalks can lead to slips and falls. Cold air may also harm your lungs and heart, raising the risk of chest infections especially for the elders. Fighting Off Winter Illnesses Most common winter illnesses can be handled at home. However, flu can be more serious than you think. A flu vaccine is a simple way to protect you. And don’t forget the power of hand washing! Cleaning up with water, adding soap if possible, on a regular basis is one of the most convenient ways to stop virus like the flu from spreading. Keep your house warm and your bedroom window closed especially on cold winter nights as breathing cold air can be bad for your health. Layer Up: A Good Way To Keep Warm Staying warm is your secret weapon this season! When heading outside, wear several light layers instead of one heavy jacket. The trapped air between layers keeps you much warmer. You can try the 3-Layer Rule: Note: Don’t forget the hat, scarf and gloves—40 % of body heat escapes from your head and neck. Stay Active: Don’t Let The Cold Make You A Couch Potato! Staying active is crucial for both physical and mental health. If you’re stuck indoors, get up and stretch your body at least once in an hour. Break up your time spent being inactive by walking around your home or standing up from your chair when you are on phone. Any movement helps boost your mood and keep your body strong. With these easy tips, you can enjoy the winter while staying happy and healthy. Check out further advice on how to stay well this winter on our websites. Stay warm, stay active, and take care! 21.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍防病、分层保暖、定时活动等实用建议，帮助人们在冬季保持健康、强健身心。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Cleaning up with water, adding soap if possible, on a regular basis is one of the most convenient ways to stop virus like the flu from spreading.(定期用清水清洁，并在可能的情况下加入肥皂，这是阻止像流感这类病毒传播的最便捷方法之一)”可知，对抗冬季疾病最简单的方法是经常洗手。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据图片中“Shell: wind-proof jaket(blocks rain&snow)(外套：防风夹克（能阻挡雨水和雪）)”可知，外层能阻挡寒风和雨水的侵袭。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you’re stuck indoors, get up and stretch your body at least once in an hour.(如果你被困在室内，那么每隔一个小时就起身活动活动身体吧)”可知，在冬季，长时间坐着后起身活动活动能帮助你保持活跃。 B When my husband Paul persuaded me to adopt a dog, I was full of doubts. At 65, I thought we should be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the dirty one with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake. Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a crazy creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the ironic question, “Who’s walking who?” Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting, “Casey!” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together. Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking (叮当声) of his tags keeping pace with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love. The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home. 24. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog? A. Scared. B. Suspicious. C. Frustrated. D. Indifferent. 25. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning? A. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. B. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore. C. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach. 26. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Stop. B. Emerge. C. Unfold. D. Fade. 27. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey? A. A cure for restlessness. B. A close friendship. C. A sense of achievement. D. A positive attitude. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者起初因丈夫劝说收养流浪狗Casey，遛狗的混乱让她沮丧，经驯犬师指导后与狗狗磨合融洽，更从狗狗身上获得内心平静，它也成为了家庭的核心。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the ironic question, “Who’s walking who?”(我感到精疲力竭、一败涂地，耳边常常回荡着那句带有讽刺意味的问题：“到底是谁在遛谁？”)”可知，作者最初对于遛狗这件事感到沮丧。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt.(希望随着一位年轻的训犬师劳里一起到来，劳里是一位年轻的训犬师。她解释说，凯西是一只猎犬——天生就是用来狩猎的)”可知，凯西在散步时一开始表现得不好是因为他无法抑制自己探索的天性。故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice.(我们开始一起行走，不再是敌人，而是一个团队。我了解了他的习惯，他也开始回应我的声音)”可知，作者和狗狗从“敌人”变成团队，狗狗回应指令，拉扯变成轻柔的步调，说明混乱是逐渐减弱、消退的，故划线词意思是“消失”。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The greatest gift, however, was peace.(然而，最珍贵的礼物便是平静)”可知，作者从凯西那里得到的最珍贵的礼物是一种缓解烦躁不安的方法。故选A。 C The bald eagle is a symbol of the US. An image of the bird is on the flag and seal (印章) of the US president, the seal of the US Supreme Court, military insignia, as well as the dollar bill. Even so, the bird has had its ups and downs. At one time, it was at risk of permanent (永久的) extinction. Later, however, its numbers recovered. In the early 2000s, the bird was removed from its endangered species list. Culturally, too, the birds are doing well again. In December 2024 before leaving office, Joe Biden signed legislation (法规) officially making it the national bird. An insect-killing chemical called DDT played a major part in the long complex story of species weakness and recovery. Used to kill insects, DDT also proved harmful to eagle eggs. American officials banned DDT in 1972.But the use of the chemical had already caused severe damage to eagle populations. For example, in the 1980s there was only one nesting pair of eagles in New Jersey. Now, there are about 300 pairs. To rebuild the number of eagles across the US, researchers wanting to save them imported the birds from places where their population numbers were secure, including Canada. Early on, they also removed eggs from their nests so they could safely hatch (孵化) with scientists before being returned to their parents to raise. A lack of eagle habitat and prey (猎物) also threatens the species. Bald eagles feed heavily on fish, so they require clean, open water in which to hunt. Disease outbreaks are another serious threat to the birds. The birds are highly respected by several Native American cultures as symbols of strength, especially in the Pacific Northwest. The position of eagles as symbols of the US adds to their protection. Dan Day is a birder. He has seen bald eagles about 50 times in recent years both on nature walks and while driving around. He said, “It really elevates (提升) your day to see a bald eagle.” 28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly focused on? A. Specific measures to protect bald eagles. B. Hatching techniques of bald eagles. C. Protecting bald eagles through cooperation. D. Early protection and growth of bald eagles. 29. Which is the threat bald eagles are currently facing in the US? A. The widespread use of DDT. B. Illegal hunting by Native American. C. Lack of prey and outbreak of diseases. D. Severe environmental pollution in habitats. 30. What does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. Observing bald eagles is stressful. B. The protection of bald eagles has shown results. C. More people are paying attention to bald eagles. D. Encountering a bald eagle is unexpected. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Bald Eagle Is a Much More Respectable Bird B. The Past and Future of Bald Eagles in America C. The Complex Process of Successfully Rescuing Eagles D. Bald Eagles:Recovered,Officially US National Bird 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了美国国鸟白头海雕曾濒临灭绝，后因DDT禁令、人工繁育、异地引入等保护措施数量得以恢复，并于2024年被正式立法定为美国国鸟的过程。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“To rebuild the number of eagles across the US, researchers wanting to save them imported the birds from places where their population numbers were secure, including Canada. Early on, they also removed eggs from their nests so they could safely hatch with scientists before being returned to their parents to raise. (为了恢复美国各地的白头海雕数量，想要拯救它们的研究人员从加拿大等种群数量稳定的地区引进了这些鸟类。早期，他们还从巢穴中取出鸟蛋，以便在科学家的照料下安全孵化，之后再交还给它们的父母抚养。)”可知，这一段主要讲述了为恢复白头海雕数量所采取的具体保护措施。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“A lack of eagle habitat and prey also threatens the species. Bald eagles feed heavily on fish, so they require clean, open water in which to hunt. Disease outbreaks are another serious threat to the birds. (栖息地和猎物的缺乏也威胁着这一物种。白头海雕以鱼类为主要食物，因此它们需要干净、开阔的水域来捕猎。疾病暴发是这些鸟类面临的另一个严重威胁。)”可知，白头海雕目前在美国面临的威胁是猎物缺乏和疾病暴发。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Dan Day is a birder. He has seen bald eagles about 50 times in recent years both on nature walks and while driving around. (丹·戴是一位观鸟者。近年来，无论是在自然漫步还是驾车途中，他已经见过大约50次白头海雕。)”可知，作为普通人的丹·戴能频繁见到白头海雕，这一现象足以说明白头海雕的保护工作已经取得了明显成效。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇就点明白头海雕是美国的象征，随后讲述了它曾濒临灭绝的困境，接着介绍了人们采取的保护措施以及它的数量恢复情况，最后提到它于2024年被正式立法定为美国国鸟，全文始终围绕白头海雕的核心经历展开。D选项“白头海雕：数量恢复，正式成为美国国鸟”能够全面涵盖文章的核心内容，最适合作为本文的标题。故选D。 D Does the silencing of our soundscapes (声音美景) matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease, diabetes and anxiety. Yet while the general benefits of being outside in nature may seem natural, the contributions of natural sounds to this are less understood. So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants across three vineyards (葡萄园) with varying soundscapes. We also increased some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ engagement with nature would be affected by increasing the diversity of birds and songs, as well as the overall volume (音量). The results were fascinating. Paul Harrison, the manager at Saffron Grange, summarized: “What was surprising was the significant impact that birdsong has on people.” Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds reported that they had enjoyed the sounds more. They also felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours, reporting that they felt freer from work, routine and responsibility. We enjoy nature’s benefits subconsciously, which means, as Harrison pointed out, that it’s easy to take them for granted: “We all benefit from the soundscape of the vineyard daily and maybe when it is so frequent we don’t fully realize how that positively impacts well-being compared to other work settings.” Our study is a clear demonstration of the direct effect that birdsong has on our well-being. It shows that bird conservation could increase our experience of spending time in nature and bring positive emotions. The world we experience today is unlike what our grandparents experienced. We are increasingly disconnected from nature, and nature’s benefits on our well-being are lessening as a result. Our study presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. We showed that even an hour’s exposure to diverse and loud birdsong can lead to feelings of optimism and relaxation. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest in conservation and promote nature engagement in creative settings. 32. What’s the result of the research? A. The louder sounds the participants heard, the more stressed they felt. B. The richer sounds the participants heard, the less pleasant the tour was. C. The louder sounds the participants heard, the more enjoyable the tour was. D. The more complex sounds the participants heard, the less connected they felt with nature. 33. Why did the author list many benefits of natural soundscapes? A. To silence natural soundscapes. B. To display natural soundscapes. C. To overlook natural soundscapes. D. To highlight natural soundscapes. 34. What does the author hope the study will achieve? A. More awareness of vineyard tourism among the public. B. Standardization of soundscape measurement techniques. C. An increase in the number of bird species in urban areas. D. Greater investment in bird conservation and natural soundscapes. 35. What’s the text mainly about? A. Why we should protect wildlife. B. How we can benefit from society. C. Why birdsong matters more than we think. D. How we promote nature engagement in creative settings. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鸟鸣比我们所认为的更重要，呼吁大家要给予它更多关注的同时也要保护鸟类。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds reported that they had enjoyed the sounds more. They also felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour.(体验到更大、更复杂声音的游客报告说，他们更喜欢这些声音。他们也感到与大自然的联系更加紧密，对自己的旅行也更加满意。)”可知，参与者听到的声音越响亮复杂，他们的旅行就越愉快。因此，选项C“The louder sounds the participants heard, the more enjoyable the tour was.(参与者听到的声音越响亮，他们的旅行就越愉快)”符合题意。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“We enjoy nature’s benefits subconsciously, which means, as Harrison pointed out, that it’s easy to take them for granted(我们下意识地享受大自然的好处，这意味着，正如哈里森指出的那样，我们很容易把它们视为理所当然)”可知，我们往往潜意识里享受自然的好处，但却容易将其视为理所当然。因此，作者列举这些好处是为了突出自然声音景观的重要性，让我们更加珍视和保护它们。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest in conservation and promote nature engagement in creative settings.(因此，我们希望企业和人们能够受到启发，投资于保护环境，并在创造性的环境中促进对自然的参与。)”可知，作者希望这项研究能够激励企业和个人投资于鸟类保护和自然声音景观的保护，并在创意环境中促进人们与自然的互动。因此，选项D“Greater investment in bird conservation and natural soundscapes.(加大对鸟类保护和自然声音景观的投资)”符合题意。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Yet while the general benefits of being outside in nature may seem natural, the contributions of natural sounds to this are less understood.(然而，尽管身处大自然的总体好处似乎是自然的，但人们对自然声音的贡献却知之甚少。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了自然声音，尤其是鸟鸣声对我们健康和福祉的重要性。通过一项研究，作者发现丰富的自然声音能够增强人们与自然的联系，提升旅行的满意度和积极情绪。因此，作者呼吁保护自然声音景观，并希望这项研究能够激励更多人投资于鸟类保护和自然声音景观的保护。选项C“Why birdsong matters more than we think.(为什么鸟鸣声比我们想象的重要)”最能概括文章的主旨大意。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，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. ____36____ But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy. To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. ____37____ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic. ____38____ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects. I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. ____39____ So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. ____40____ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too. A. I threw out obvious offenders. B. We depend heavily on plastics. C. I wanted to make life safer for my children. D. I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives. E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics. F. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic. G. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以作者的个人经历为线索，详细讲述了自己发现塑料危害并尝试远离塑料的过程。 【36题详解】 空格前“I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素)when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics.(我曾经很喜欢我的不粘锅，惊叹于它清洗起来多么容易，直到我了解到它的塑料涂层在加热时可能会释放毒素。于是我开始了一场让生活远离塑料的行动。)”提到作者开始了让生活远离塑料的行动，空格后“But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.(但我仍然不清楚哪种塑料真正危险。我想了解我的‘敌人’。)”提到作者对塑料的危害还不完全了解。A选项“I threw out obvious offenders.(我扔掉了明显有问题的物品。)”中的“obvious offenders”正好指代前文的“nonstick pans”，既承接了前文“让生活远离塑料的行动”，又能自然引出后文“对塑料危害不了解”的内容，完美衔接上下文。故选A项。 【37题详解】 空格前“To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper.(公平地说，塑料是很棒的。轻便、防水且有弹性，塑料让现代生活更安全、更便宜。)”提到塑料的优点，空格后“Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.(醒来18分钟后，我承认失败了。我不能开灯，也不能刷牙。没有内衣或袜子——如果某东西有弹性，那要归功于塑料。)”提到作者尝试远离塑料但失败了。F选项“One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.(有一天，我决定看看自己能多久不用塑料。)”既承接了前文“塑料的优点”，又能自然引出后文“尝试远离塑料但失败”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选F项。 【38题详解】 空格前一段提到作者尝试远离塑料但失败了，空格后“Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects.(甚至人体本身也含有塑料。出于好奇，我想知道自己体内有多少塑料，于是做了检测。结果显示，每毫升血液中含有2.06纳克的PFAS——这是一个“中等”水平，与潜在的不良健康影响风险相关。)”提到人体也含有塑料。G选项“Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period.(塑料不仅在我们家里无处不在，而且在所有地方，就这么简单。)”既承接了前文“塑料无处不在”的观点，又能自然引出后文“人体也含有塑料”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选G项。 【39题详解】 空格前“I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head.(然后我咨询了加州大学旧金山分校的特蕾西·伍德拉夫。她说，人们应该尽自己所能。在厨房，选择玻璃容器。在家里的其他地方，用棉毛巾代替微纤维毛巾。伍德拉夫提出的另一个观点让我印象深刻。)”提到作者咨询了专家关于远离塑料的建议，空格后“So I turned my attention to my kids.(于是我把注意力转向了我的孩子。)”提到作者开始关注孩子的塑料接触问题。E选项“Children are among those most at risk from plastics.(儿童是受塑料危害最大的人群之一。)”既承接了前文“专家的建议”，又能自然引出后文“关注孩子的塑料接触问题”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选E项。 【40题详解】 空格前“So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours.(于是我把注意力转向了我的孩子。床单和被子很重要，因为我们长时间近距离接触纤维呼吸。)”提到作者关注孩子的塑料接触问题，尤其是床单和被子，空格后“What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them.(让我担心的是，我的孩子在一个周围所有物体似乎都注定会伤害他们的世界里长大。)”提到作者担心孩子的成长环境。D选项“I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives.(我给儿子们换成了天然材质的替代品。)”既承接了前文“关注孩子的床单和被子问题”，又能自然引出后文“担心孩子的成长环境”的内容，与段落逻辑完全契合。故选D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。 People may misunderstand what they used to be familiar with. One day a ___41___ professor was invited to our school, teaching us ___42___ management principles in a school hall. As she ___43___ a glass of water, we expected she’d ask the ___44___ “glass half-empty or glass half-full” question. ___45___, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?” Excitedly, all of us ___46___ out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple of pounds. “In my view,” she replied, “the absolute ___47___ of this glass doesn’t matter. It all depends on how long I hold it. For a minute or two, it’s fairly light. For an hour straight, my arm might ___48___ a little. For a day straight, my arm will likely feel completely paralyzed, ___49___ me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case, the glass doesn’t change, ____50____ the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.” Seeing our favorable expression, she continued, “Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and ____51____ happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you’ll feel paralyzed — ____52____ of doing anything else ____53____ you drop them.” It’s important to remember to ____54____ your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the night and into the next day with you. If you still feel the weight of yesterday’s stress, it’s a strong sign that it’s time to put the ____55____ down. 41. A. chemistry B. physics C. psychology D. biology 42.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位心理学教授用“举水杯越久越重”的比喻，告诉我们压力本身无害，持续背负才会消耗自己，要学会及时放下压力。 【41题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：有一天，一位心理学教授受邀来到我们学校，在学校的礼堂给我们讲授压力管理原则。A. chemistry化学；B. physics物理；C. psychology心理学；D. biology生物学。全文核心是用生活化的比喻讲解压力与情绪管理的心理规律，这是心理学的研究范畴。后文“Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”教授通过水杯实验引导大家理解心理感受，也印证了她的身份。故选C项。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：有一天，一位心理学教授受邀来到我们学校，在学校的礼堂给我们讲授压力管理原则。A. health健康；B. class班级；C. time时间；D. stress压力。根据后文反复出现核心词“stresses and worries”（压力和烦恼）、“burdens”（负担），教授全程都在讲解如何应对压力，因此她讲的是压力管理原则。故选D项。 【43题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当她举起一杯水时，我们原本以为她会问那个典型的“杯子是半空还是半满”的问题。A. drank喝；B. raised举起；C. drew画，拉；D. fetched去取来。根据后文教授提问“How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”说明她此时是举起了一杯水展示给大家。故选B项。 【44题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当她举起一杯水时，我们原本以为她会问那个典型的“杯子是半空还是半满”的问题。A. typical典型的；B. meaningful有意义的；C. simple简单的；D. ordinary普通的。根据常识以及下文“glass half-empty or glass half-full”可知，“杯子是半空还是半满”是心理学中最经典、最具代表性的测试问题，是大家普遍熟知的“标准题型”。typical 强调“符合大众预期的典型性”，比ordinary更贴合语境。故选A项。 【45题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，教授问：“我拿着的这杯水有多重？”A. However然而；B. Moreover此外；C. Therefore因此；D. Instead反而，取而代之的是。根据语境以及下文“the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?””可知，我们以为她会问那个经典问题，结果她没有问，反而问了另一个问题。Instead 精准表达“用 B 替代 A”的逻辑。故选D项。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们兴奋地纷纷大声回答，从八盎司到几磅不等。A. pointed指出；B. spoke说；C. shouted喊；D. figured认为，算出。根据句首有副词“Excitedly”（兴奋地），可知，大家情绪高涨，会大声喊出自己的答案。shout out 是固定搭配，意为“大声说出”。故选C项。 【47题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“在我看来，”她回答道，“这杯子的绝对重量并不重要。”A. volume体积；B. weight重量；C. content内容；D. size尺寸。根据前文教授的提问是“How heavy is this glass of water”，因此此处讨论的是这杯水的绝对重量并不重要。故选B项。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一小时持续持握，我的手臂可能会有点酸痛。A. ache疼痛；B. weaken变弱；C. shake摇晃；D. injure受伤。根据后文“and you begin to ache a little”提到开始有点疼了，可知，举水杯一小时，胳膊会酸痛，这是符合生理感受的递进描述。故选A项。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一整天不间断地持握，我的手臂很可能会完全麻痹，以至于我不得不把杯子放地上。A. inviting邀请；B. pushing推；C. forcing迫使；D. inspiring激励。根据上文“my arm will likely feel completely paralyzed”可知，胳膊完全麻痹是一种被动的生理状态，这种状态会迫使你不得不把杯子摔到地上。故选C项。 【50题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：在每一种情况下，杯子都没有变化，但我拿着它的时间越长，我就觉得它越重。A. so所以；B. or或者；C. and和；D. but但是。根据上文“the glass doesn’t change”以及下文“the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me”可知，“杯子本身没有变”和“举得越久，你感觉它越重”是转折关系，用but连接。故选D项。 【51题详解】 考查代词词义辨析。句意：试着思考它们一会儿，什么都不会发生。A. nothing什么都没有；B. something某事；C. anything任何事；D. everything一切。根据语境以及上文“Think about them for a while”可知，此处指的是试着思考它们一会儿，什么都不会发生。故选A项。 【52题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：整天想着这些事情，你会感到精疲力竭——直到倒下之前都无法做其他任何事情。A. unconfident不自信的；B. incapable不能的，无能力的；C. unaware没意识到的；D. unconscious无意识的。根据上文“and you’ll feel paralyzed”可知，你会感到精疲力竭——直到放下它们之前都无法做其他任何事情。固定搭配 be incapable of doing sth. 意为“没有能力做某事”。故选B项。 【53题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：整天想着这些事情，你会感到精疲力竭——直到倒下之前都无法做其他任何事情。A. until直到；B. though虽然；C. unless除非；D. after在……之后。根据语境以及下文“you drop them”可知，这种“什么都做不了”的麻痹状态会一直持续，直到你放下压力为止。until准确表达了动作持续的终点。故选A项。 【54题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：重要的是要记住要放下你的压力和忧虑。A. turn down拒绝；B. get over克服；C. hold back抑制，隐瞒；D. let go of放下，松开。全文核心观点就是“放下压力”，前文多次出现“drop them”（放下它们）、“put all your burdens down”（放下所有负担），可知，此处let go of 与这些表达语义完全一致。故选D项。 【55题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果你仍然感到昨天压力的重压，这就是一个强烈的信号，表明是时候放下这个“杯子”了。A. feelings感受；B. regret遗憾；C. glass杯子；D. emotions情绪。通读全文可知，教授全程用“水杯”比喻压力，因此结尾用“是时候把杯子放下了”来收束全文，既呼应开头的实验，又让哲理更生动形象。故选C项。 第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分：共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。 In the majority of southeastern Asian countries such as Vietnam and Thailand, rice is the ____56____ (widespread) grain.

Since we are approaching Christmas, I think I’d share one. For as long as I can remember, my family was financially struggling. The year I turned 9 was rough — probably the worst. In the days before Christmas, although my parents tried to hide how stressed they were, I heard Mom crying at night in the other room when she thought we were sleeping. I also noticed Dad was getting more gray hairs than before. At some point, from half-sentences I overheard and the heavy atmosphere around the house, I figured it out: We didn’t have money, and Christmas was going to be terrible. I felt really bad for my younger sister and brother. I’d figured out two years earlier that gifts weren’t brought by angels, but they didn’t know that yet, and I wanted them to hold onto that magic a little longer. I tried to convince myself it was fine, but I couldn’t. At the same time, I felt selfish and guilty (内疚的) for wanting to cry every time someone mentioned Christmas gifts. So I wasn’t looking forward to the winter break at all. At school, I could barely hide my low spirits. I used to be a lively kid who loved answering questions in class, but those days, I sat quietly in my seat, staring out the window, too lost in worry to focus on lessons. When the class talked about Christmas plans or the gifts they hoped for, I would bow my head. I even skipped the class Christmas craft activity, saying I wasn’t feeling well, because I couldn’t afford the small materials needed. My teacher, Miss Smith, who was always attentive, noticed all these little changes. On the last day of school, she told me to stay after class until everyone was gone, saying she needed to talk to me. Obviously, I panicked, thinking I’d done something wrong. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But instead of a lecture, she gave me a box with my name on it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing her white lie, I took the gift box home with tears in my eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 But instead of a lecture, she gave me a box with my name on it. Her soft smile made me stop panicking. She said gently that an angel had left the box for me, wishing our family a happy Christmas. I held the box carefully, its surface decorated with small Christmas patterns. When I opened it, I saw some small gifts and a little money inside. My eyes turned wet, and I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. She patted my shoulder and told me to share the joy with my siblings. Knowing her white lie, I took the gift box home with tears in my eyes. My sister and brother rushed over as soon as I entered the door. I told them the box was a gift from an angel. We opened the gifts together, laughing happily. That night, our house was full of warmth and laughter. My parents looked at us with relief and gratitude. I realized then that angels are not just in stories — Miss Smith was the real angel who brought light to our hard days, letting us feel the warmth of love on that special Christmas. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者9岁那年家境艰难，家里几乎过不了圣诞节，他因此情绪低落。细心的史密斯老师发现后，以“天使送礼物”的名义赠予他一盒礼物与一些钱。他带回家与弟妹分享，让全家度过了温暖的圣诞节，老师也成了他心中真正的天使。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但她并没有给我讲什么大道理，而是递给我一个标有我名字的盒子”可知，第一段可描写老师给作者送礼物和钱。 ②由第二段首句内容“得知了她的善意谎言后，我含着泪把礼物盒带回家”可知，第二段可描写作者带回家与弟妹分享，让全家度过了温暖的圣诞节，老师也成了他心中真正的天使。 2. 续写线索：老师给盒子——作者打开——看到礼物和钱——带回家——分享喜悦——作者感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①点亮：bring light to/brighten ②打开：open/unfold ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①快乐：happy/joyful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I opened it, I saw some small gifts and a little money inside.

Cold weather can actually have a big impact on your health. Let’s learn something so as to stay safe and healthy this season! Why Is Cold Winter A Challenge? Winter brings more than just colds. Icy sidewalks can lead to slips and falls. Cold air may also harm your lungs and heart, raising the risk of chest infections especially for the elders. Fighting Off Winter Illnesses Most common winter illnesses can be handled at home. However, flu can be more serious than you think. A flu vaccine is a simple way to protect you. And don’t forget the power of hand washing! Cleaning up with water, adding soap if possible, on a regular basis is one of the most convenient ways to stop virus like the flu from spreading. Keep your house warm and your bedroom window closed especially on cold winter nights as breathing cold air can be bad for your health. Layer Up: A Good Way To Keep Warm Staying warm is your secret weapon this season! When heading outside, wear several light layers instead of one heavy jacket.

I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the dirty one with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake. Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a crazy creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the ironic question, “Who’s walking who?” Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting, “Casey!” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together. Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking (叮当声) of his tags keeping pace with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love. The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home. 24. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog? A. Scared. B. Suspicious. C. Frustrated. D. Indifferent. 25. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning? A. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. B. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore. C. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach. 26. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Stop. B. Emerge. C. Unfold. D. Fade. 27. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey? A. A cure for restlessness. B. A close friendship. C. A sense of achievement. D. A positive attitude. C The bald eagle is a symbol of the US. An image of the bird is on the flag and seal (印章) of the US president, the seal of the US Supreme Court, military insignia, as well as the dollar bill. Even so, the bird has had its ups and downs. At one time, it was at risk of permanent (永久的) extinction. Later, however, its numbers recovered. In the early 2000s, the bird was removed from its endangered species list. Culturally, too, the birds are doing well again. In December 2024 before leaving office, Joe Biden signed legislation (法规) officially making it the national bird. An insect-killing chemical called DDT played a major part in the long complex story of species weakness and recovery. Used to kill insects, DDT also proved harmful to eagle eggs. American officials banned DDT in 1972.But the use of the chemical had already caused severe damage to eagle populations. For example, in the 1980s there was only one nesting pair of eagles in New Jersey. Now, there are about 300 pairs. To rebuild the number of eagles across the US, researchers wanting to save them imported the birds from places where their population numbers were secure, including Canada. Early on, they also removed eggs from their nests so they could safely hatch (孵化) with scientists before being returned to their parents to raise. A lack of eagle habitat and prey (猎物) also threatens the species. Bald eagles feed heavily on fish, so they require clean, open water in which to hunt. Disease outbreaks are another serious threat to the birds. The birds are highly respected by several Native American cultures as symbols of strength, especially in the Pacific Northwest. The position of eagles as symbols of the US adds to their protection. Dan Day is a birder. He has seen bald eagles about 50 times in recent years both on nature walks and while driving around. He said, “It really elevates (提升) your day to see a bald eagle.” 28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly focused on? A. Specific measures to protect bald eagles. B. Hatching techniques of bald eagles. C. Protecting bald eagles through cooperation. D. Early protection and growth of bald eagles. 29. Which is the threat bald eagles are currently facing in the US? A. The widespread use of DDT. B. Illegal hunting by Native American. C. Lack of prey and outbreak of diseases. D. Severe environmental pollution in habitats. 30. What does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. Observing bald eagles is stressful. B. The protection of bald eagles has shown results. C. More people are paying attention to bald eagles. D. Encountering a bald eagle is unexpected. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Bald Eagle Is a Much More Respectable Bird B. The Past and Future of Bald Eagles in America C. The Complex Process of Successfully Rescuing Eagles D. Bald Eagles:Recovered,Officially US National Bird D Does the silencing of our soundscapes (声音美景) matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease, diabetes and anxiety. Yet while the general benefits of being outside in nature may seem natural, the contributions of natural sounds to this are less understood. So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants across three vineyards (葡萄园) with varying soundscapes. We also increased some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ engagement with nature would be affected by increasing the diversity of birds and songs, as well as the overall volume (音量). The results were fascinating. Paul Harrison, the manager at Saffron Grange, summarized: “What was surprising was the significant impact that birdsong has on people.” Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds reported that they had enjoyed the sounds more. They also felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours, reporting that they felt freer from work, routine and responsibility. We enjoy nature’s benefits subconsciously, which means, as Harrison pointed out, that it’s easy to take them for granted: “We all benefit from the soundscape of the vineyard daily and maybe when it is so frequent we don’t fully realize how that positively impacts well-being compared to other work settings.” Our study is a clear demonstration of the direct effect that birdsong has on our well-being. It shows that bird conservation could increase our experience of spending time in nature and bring positive emotions. The world we experience today is unlike what our grandparents experienced. We are increasingly disconnected from nature, and nature’s benefits on our well-being are lessening as a result. Our study presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. We showed that even an hour’s exposure to diverse and loud birdsong can lead to feelings of optimism and relaxation. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest in conservation and promote nature engagement in creative settings. 32. What’s the result of the research? A. The louder sounds the participants heard, the more stressed they felt. B. The richer sounds the participants heard, the less pleasant the tour was. C. The louder sounds the participants heard, the more enjoyable the tour was. D. The more complex sounds the participants heard, the less connected they felt with nature. 33. Why did the author list many benefits of natural soundscapes? A. To silence natural soundscapes. B. To display natural soundscapes. C. To overlook natural soundscapes. D. To highlight natural soundscapes. 34. What does the author hope the study will achieve? A. More awareness of vineyard tourism among the public. B. Standardization of soundscape measurement techniques. C. An increase in the number of bird species in urban areas. D. Greater investment in bird conservation and natural soundscapes. 35. What’s the text mainly about? A. Why we should protect wildlife. B. How we can benefit from society. C. Why birdsong matters more than we think. D. How we promote nature engagement in creative settings. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated.

Since we are approaching Christmas, I think I’d share one. For as long as I can remember, my family was financially struggling. The year I turned 9 was rough — probably the worst. In the days before Christmas, although my parents tried to hide how stressed they were, I heard Mom crying at night in the other room when she thought we were sleeping. I also noticed Dad was getting more gray hairs than before. At some point, from half-sentences I overheard and the heavy atmosphere around the house, I figured it out: We didn’t have money, and Christmas was going to be terrible. I felt really bad for my younger sister and brother. I’d figured out two years earlier that gifts weren’t brought by angels, but they didn’t know that yet, and I wanted them to hold onto that magic a little longer. I tried to convince myself it was fine, but I couldn’t. At the same time, I felt selfish and guilty (内疚的) for wanting to cry every time someone mentioned Christmas gifts. So I wasn’t looking forward to the winter break at all. At school, I could barely hide my low spirits. I used to be a lively kid who loved answering questions in class, but those days, I sat quietly in my seat, staring out the window, too lost in worry to focus on lessons. When the class talked about Christmas plans or the gifts they hoped for, I would bow my head. I even skipped the class Christmas craft activity, saying I wasn’t feeling well, because I couldn’t afford the small materials needed. My teacher, Miss Smith, who was always attentive, noticed all these little changes. On the last day of school, she told me to stay after class until everyone was gone, saying she needed to talk to me. Obviously, I panicked, thinking I’d done something wrong. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But instead of a lecture, she gave me a box with my name on it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing her white lie, I took the gift box home with tears in my eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。Oh, the road is jammed with traffic again.
