That is short conversations people often have with strangers they meet. Such strangers occur at bus stops, on buses, while waiting in line almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. The topics may include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or the latest news. But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious belief and politics should be avoided during these conversations. Sounds it’s better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask visitors, “Do you like our city?” They may say simply “Yes!” On the other hand, if you ask, “What do you think of our city?”, they would have more freedom in answering. This kind of question also shows that you’re interested in them. If you appear interested in what people are saying, they feel more comfortable talking with you. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A With the development of camping at home and abroad, more and more people have strong interest in camping. Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, backpacking trip, means an outdoor camp, where you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days lo several months. It gives you the chance to get closer to nature. In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV Camping If you go camping in a motorhome, you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. All you need is to find a suitable parking lot where you can park your car. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for starters. 21. Which camping is suitable for beginner campers? A. Tent camping. B. Hiking camping. C. Survival camping. D. RV camping. 22. What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A. They attract kids. B. They may be risky. C. They require training. D. They are family-friendly. 23. What is a unique advantage of RV camping? A. Low costs. B. Access to nature. C. Homely comfort. D. Flexible schedules 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种常见的露营方式：帐篷露营、徒步露营、生存露营和房车露营，以及各自的特点和适合人群。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Tent Camping部分中“This is the most basic and common way of camping.(这是最基本和最常见的露营方式)”“Tent camping is a great choice for people who don't want to spend a lot of money to get started.(帐篷露营是不想花费太多资金就开始露营的人们的绝佳选择)”可知，对于初学露营者来说，帐篷露营是最基本且常见的方式，成本相对较低，适合不想花费太多金钱入门的人。故选A。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段Hiking Camping部分中“Hiking camping, backpacking trip, means an outdoor camp, where you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days lo several months.(徒步野营，也就是背包旅行，意味着一种户外露营活动，在这种活动中，你需要背着必要的装备整天徒步。这种露营的时长可从几天到几个月不等)”及“In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone.(万一发生紧急情况，你最好和别人分享你的旅行计划)”和第四段Survival Camping部分“In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild.(在这种露营方式中，为了在各种户外条件下生存，你需要学习多种技能。你将要在野外自行寻找食物，并在遇到危险时采取紧急医疗措施。有一个在野外经验丰富的伙伴会是个好主意)”可知，徒步露营和生存露营都有潜在的风险，因为在紧急情况下需要与某人分享旅行计划或拥有经验丰富的伙伴。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段RV Camping部分中“With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. (有了房车，你就几乎拥有了家里的一切，包括舒适的床铺、厨房以及娱乐设施)”及“You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great.(你还可以在车里做饭并享受美食，这种体验会非常棒)”可知，RV露营的一个独特优势是提供家庭般的舒适，包括舒适的床、厨房和娱乐设施。故选C。 B On a stormy night in November, the small coastal town of Windermere was enveloped in darkness. The lighthouse, standing tall on the rough cliffs, had been the town’s guardian for over a century. But tonight, its light shone weakly, as if struggling against the howling wind. Old Captain Harris, now retired, sat by his fireplace, listening to the radio warnings of an approaching hurricane. His wrinkled hands trembled as he recalled the night thirty years ago when he had nearly lost his ship to these dangerous waters. Back then, the lighthouse’s light had guided him to safety. Now, with the keeper, Mr. Thompson, entrusted by the town mayor, bed-ridden with fever, the lighthouse stood unmanned. Determined, Captain Harris grabbed his raincoat and lantern. “Someone has to keep the light burning,” he whispered. The journey to the lighthouse was challenging — the narrow path was slippery with rain, and the wind threatened to throw him off balance. Yet, step by step, he pressed on. Inside the tower, the machinery groaned (呻吟) under the storm’s attack. Captain Harris climbed the spiraling (螺旋式的) stairs, he was out of breath. At the top, he adjusted the lens and refueled the lamp. As the light steadied, a distant ship’s horn echoed through the night — a cargo ship fighting the waves. Hours later, when the storm finally passed, the townsfolk found Captain Harris fell down heavily against the lighthouse wall, exhausted but smiling. The cargo ship’s captain later sent a letter of gratitude, crediting the precious light for saving his crew. That winter, Captain Harris passed away peacefully in his sleep. The town set up a plaque (匾) in his honor, carved with his final words: “A light is only as strong as the hands that keep it alive.” 24. What was the condition of the lighthouse when the storm hit? A. It was brightly lit and fully operational. B. Its light was functioning unusually. C. It had been abandoned for years. D. It was being repaired by the townsfolk. 25. Why did Captain Harris decide to go to the lighthouse? A. He wanted to check on Mr. Thompson. B. He remembered how the lighthouse had once saved him. C. He was ordered by the town mayor. D. He was curious about the storm’s damage. 26. What can be inferred about Captain Harris’s character? A. Careless and adventurous. B. Selfish and cautious. C. Courageous and selfless. D. Indifferent and determined. 27. What is the most likely reason that the cargo ship’s horn was included in the story? A. To emphasize the danger of the storm. B. To show his efforts were meaningful. C. To introduce a new character. D. To create a sense of mystery. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了退休船长哈里斯在一个暴风雨夜，不顾自身安危，前往灯塔维护灯光，成功引导一艘货船安全通过危险海域的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But tonight, its light shone weakly, as if struggling against the howling wind. (但今晚，它的灯光微弱，仿佛在与呼啸的狂风搏斗。)”可知，暴风雨来临时，灯塔的灯光微弱，运作状态异常。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“His wrinkled hands trembled as he recalled the night thirty years ago when he had nearly lost his ship to these dangerous waters. Back then, the lighthouse’s light had guided him to safety. (当他回忆起三十年前那个险些在这片险恶水域葬送船只的夜晚时，他那布满皱纹的双手颤抖起来。当年，正是灯塔的光芒指引他脱离了险境。)”以及第三段“Determined, Captain Harris grabbed his raincoat and lantern. (哈里斯船长心意已决，一把抓起雨衣和提灯。“必须有人守护这灯光长明，”他喃喃道。)”可知，哈里斯回忆起30年前灯塔的光曾引导他脱离危险，这促使他决定前往灯塔。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。分析全文以及第三段“Determined, Captain Harris grabbed his raincoat and lantern. “Someone has to keep the light burning,” he whispered. The journey to the lighthouse was challenging — the narrow path was slippery with rain, and the wind threatened to throw him off balance. (哈里斯船长心意已决，一把抓起雨衣和提灯。“必须有人守护这灯光长明，”他喃喃道。前往灯塔的旅程异常艰难——狭窄的小径被雨水浸得湿滑不堪，狂风咆哮着妄图将他掀翻在地。)”可知，哈里斯不顾自身安危，在暴风雨中前往灯塔维护灯光，最终成功引导货船安全通过危险海域，这表明他具有勇敢和无私的品质。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As the light steadied, a distant ship’s horn echoed through the night — a cargo ship fighting the waves. (当灯光稳稳亮起时，一艘远洋货轮的鸣笛声刺破夜幕——那正是在惊涛骇浪中搏击的货船。)”以及第五段“The cargo ship’s captain later sent a letter of gratitude, crediting the precious light for saving his crew. (货船的船长后来送来了感谢信，称这束珍贵的灯光拯救了他的船员。)”可知，货船的鸣笛声表明哈里斯的努力得到了回报，他的行动成功引导了货船，这强调了他的付出是有意义的。故选B项。 C Most of us have experienced being introduced to someone new only to forget his name within seconds. But why is it often easy to remember a person’s face but so difficult to remember what he’s called? A new video explains that the phenomenon is due to the way our brains process arbitrary data. The video, called “Why do you forget their names?”, was produced by Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown. The pair explained that our brains are born to recognize facial details and that specific brain cells fire in response to seeing a face. The University of Toronto, for example, found when looking for faces in a crowd the frontal cortex (前额叶皮层) sends signals to the posterior visual cortex (后视觉皮层) to enhance what the person was looking at. But because names are random and hold no specific information in themselves, the brain struggles to remember them. The video continued to show when meeting people for the first time, many of us focus on introducing ourselves and this is known as the “next-in-line effect”. Instead of watching and listening to the other person, the brain starts focusing on its own routine — what I’ll say and how I’ll say it. As a result we’re not able to take in new information. In an experiment by Texas Christian University, researchers asked people in a group to take turns introducing themselves. They then tested them to see which information they remembered. A participant’s memory was accurate for each fellow group member except for the person who spoke before them. For these people, the participants failed to recall any or little information. Also, brains have both short-and long-term memory and the short-term memory is often called “working memory”. This can only hold so much information and if the brain doesn’t focus, or repeat it, the information fades. 28. What may make names hard to remember? A. Names are regarded as useless information. B. There is little detailed information in names. C. Names are specific to each individual person. D. The human brain responds to names too slowly. 29. What do we know about the “next-in-line effect” mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. It makes it hard to identify a person. B. It causes a temporary loss of memory. C. It worsens the ability to listen to others. D. It blocks the reception of new information. 30. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5? A. Add some background information. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion. C. Explain the previous paragraph further. D. Provide another experiment for reference. 31. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Whether you prefer some names to others. B. Why you cannot remember people’s names. C. What influences your memory of specific names. D. How much information you can get from names. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了为什么人们容易记住他人的面孔却难以记住他们的名字，从大脑处理信息的方式、“下一个效应”以及工作记忆的局限性等方面进行了科学分析。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But because names are random and hold no specific information in themselves, the brain struggles to remember them.(但因为名字是随机的，本身不包含特定信息，大脑难以记住它们)”可知，名字难以记住是因为名字本身包含的详细信息很少。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The video continued to show when meeting people for the first time, many of us focus on introducing ourselves and this is known as the “next-in-line effect”. Instead of watching and listening to the other person, the brain starts focusing on its own routine — what I’ll say and how I’ll say it. As a result we’re not able to take in new information.(这段视频继续展示的是，在初次与人见面时，我们往往会先介绍自己，这就是所谓的“下一个效应”。大脑不再观察和倾听对方，而是开始专注于自己的套路——我要说什么以及怎么说。结果我们无法接收新信息)”可知，“下一个效应”阻碍了新信息的接收。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The video continued to show when meeting people for the first time, many of us focus on introducing ourselves and this is known as the “next-in-line effect”. (这段视频继续展示的是，在初次与人见面时，我们往往会先介绍自己，这就是所谓的“下一个效应”)”及第五段“In an experiment by Texas Christian University, researchers asked people in a group to take turns introducing themselves. They then tested them to see which information they remembered.(在德克萨斯基督教大学的一项实验中，研究人员让一组人轮流介绍自己。随后，他们对这些人进行了测试，以了解他们记住了哪些信息)”可知，第四段提出了“下一个效应”的概念，第五段紧接着介绍了德克萨斯基督教大学的实验。由此推知，这一实验是为了进一步解释和验证第四段提出的“下一个效应”。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段以问题“为什么容易记住面孔却难以记住名字”引入，第二段介绍视频解释该现象源于大脑处理随意数据的方式，第三段说明名字因随机性而难记，第四、五段解释“下一个效应”，第六段补充工作记忆的局限性。由此可知，全文围绕“为什么记不住别人的名字”这一主题展开。故选B。 D Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed an innovative ultrasonic (超声波) system to shake water out of an atmospheric water harvester, recovering captured water in just minutes, a breakthrough aiming to address global water shortages. Atmospheric water harvesting, which collects water even from dry desert air, has been explored by scientists for ages. “Traditional methods rely heavily on solar heat to release the water absorbed by a special material. Any material good at capturing water doesn’t want to part with that water,” said the team leader Boriskina. “The process tends to drag on for hours to turn out usable water, unable to meet urgent needs in water-starved regions.” Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student specializing in ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices, became a collaborator when Boriskina recognized his ultrasound expertise combined with theirs could solve the water recovery problem head-on. Ultrasound is a form of high-frequency sound wave that can generate microscopic shakes when acting on a substance. This being the case, the team put forward a straightforward idea: Applying ultrasound to the water-harvesting material, they could break the weak bonds between the water molecules and the material, quickly causing the water to shake loose and drop out as droplets. The team set out to develop an ultrasonic water-harvesting device. It is heat-free but requires external electricity. A solar cell can run the system and also act as a sensor that signals when the storage material has reached full limit. Programmed to activate automatically whenever enough water is ready to be collected, the setup boasts 45-fold higher energy efficiency than heat-based alternatives, operates independent of sunlight and enables repeated daily cycles for greater water output. It can be easily positioned in remote dry regions, providing a steady supply of clean water and a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to energy-intensive processes like seawater desalination. Endless possibilities will unfold when distinct fields of science — ultrasound technology, materials science and environmental engineering — come together. The Svetlana-led MIT team’s leap in water recovery technology is a powerful testament to this very truth, one that is anticipated to bring vital solutions to water-scarce regions. 32. What did Boriskina say about traditional water harvesting methods? A. They’re low-yielding. B. They use waterproof materials. C. They’re resource-intensive. D. They vary from region to region. 33. On what basis did the team propose the novel idea in paragraph 4? A. The easy release of water. B. Ultrasound’s physical properties. C. The toughness of materials. D. Ultrasound’s application ranges. 34. What is the function of a solar cell in the ultrasonic device? A. To heat the storage material. B. To absorb and draw on sunlight. C. To power the device and monitor capacity. D. To set the device for automatic operation. 35. What mainly accounts for the team’s technological breakthrough? A. Pressing water demand. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Interschool academic exchanges. D. Svetlana’s exceptional leadership. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了麻省理工学院工程师设计出创新超声波系统从大气水收集器中快速回收水以应对全球缺水问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Traditional methods rely heavily on solar heat to release the water absorbed by a special material. Any material good at capturing water doesn’t want to part with that water(传统方法严重依赖太阳能热量来释放被特殊材料吸收的水。任何善于捕捉水的材料都不愿意与水分离)”以及“The process tends to drag on for hours to turn out usable water, unable to meet urgent needs in water-starved regions.(这个过程往往会持续数小时才能产生可用的水，无法满足缺水地区的紧急需求)”可知，传统取水方法效率低、产量低。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ultrasound is a form of high-frequency sound wave that can generate microscopic shakes when acting on a substance. This being the case, the team put forward a straightforward idea: Applying ultrasound to the water-harvesting material, they could break the weak bonds between the water molecules and the material, quickly causing the water to shake loose and drop out as droplets.(超声波是一种高频声波，当作用于物质时能产生微观震动。既然如此，研究小组提出了一个简单的想法：将超声波应用于水收集材料，他们可以打破水分子和材料之间的弱键，使水迅速震动并脱落成水滴)”可知，研究小组是基于超声波的物理特性（能产生微观震动）提出了这个新想法。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“A solar cell can run the system and also act as a sensor that signals when the storage material has reached full limit.(太阳能电池可以为系统供电，也可以作为传感器，在存储材料达到极限时发出信号)”可知，太阳能电池在超声波设备中的作用是为设备供电并监测容量。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Endless possibilities will unfold when distinct fields of science — ultrasound technology, materials science and environmental engineering — come together.(当不同的科学领域——超声波技术、材料科学和环境工程——结合在一起时，无限的可能性将会展开)”可知，研究小组的技术突破主要归功于跨学科的融合。故选B。 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。 How to Be Hopeful About the Future It can be tough to believe that good things are coming your way when your hopes and dreams haven’t yet been realized.

They should take actions in the direction of their ideal vision G. Therefore, by removing negative thoughts, you open doors for change 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本篇是说明文。本文主要阐述乐观的重要性，即使希望和梦想还没有实现，但依然要保持积极乐观，并介绍了一些对未来保持乐观积极的策略。 【36题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据本段小标题“Have a positive attitude(有积极的态度)”可知，本段主要强调保持积极乐观的重要性，所以B项“Maintaining a positive mindset is important(保持积极的心态很重要)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“You’re most likely to achieve something great if you can already imagine yourself in that situation. Every morning, you can take a few minutes to intentionally daydream about what your life will look like in 10 years.(如果你能想象自己在那种情况下，你最有可能完成一些伟大的事情。每天早上，你都可以花几分钟有意识地遐想一下10年后你的生活会是什么样子)”可知，本段保持积极乐观的策略是想象未来，所以C项“This practice can create excitement and inspiration(这种做法可以创造兴奋和灵感)”是对前文的说明，其中This practice与前文相呼应。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Sometimes it can be hard to determine what you want out of life when you might not be aware of where exactly you want your life to be in the next few years. A life coach can help guide you in the right direction.(有时候，当你不知道未来几年你想要什么样的生活时，很难确定你想要什么。人生导师可以指引你走向正确的方向)”可知，你要确定自己想要什么，就需要得到生活导师的指导，所以E项“They can help you figure out what you truly want out of life(他们可以帮助你弄清楚你真正想要的生活)”是对前文的具体说明，符合文意。故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“Your future won’t look great if you’re negative about the present.(如果你对现在持消极态度，你的未来就不会看起来很美好)”可知，现在的想法消极会导致对未来的生活也不乐观，所以D项“How you handle current problems affects your future(你处理当前问题的方式会影响你的未来)”是对前句的解释，符合文意。故选D项。 【40题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“The quote “this too shall pass” comes to mind. Remove any shame about the present. Negative energy leads to negative experiences.(“这一切都会过去的”这句话浮现在我的脑海中。不要对现在感到羞耻。消极的能量导致消极的经历)”可知，G项“Therefore, by removing negative thoughts, you open doors for change(因此，通过消除消极的想法，你打开了改变的大门)”和前文构成因果关系，为前文的总结。故选G项。 三、语言应用(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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Nowadays, environmental protection is receiving more and more attention.____41____, many college students are taking action to make a difference. ____42____, they focus on ecological (生态的) problems that are closely related to our daily life.

He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, Kevin could get along well with other people. And his enthusiasm for life was quite contagious (有感染力的). So, when he discovered that his teacher, Randy Moss, was putting together a basketball team, his mother could only answer, “Yes, you may join.” Basketball became the center of Kevin’s life. He liked to stand in a certain spot near the free-throw line and shoot baskets. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball. The day before their first game, Randy gave each player a bright red jersey (运动衫). Kevin had stars in his eyes when he saw his number 12. He quickly put it on and almost never took it off again. Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game doesn’t help you win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night it snowed. and the other team couldn’t make it to the game. At the end of the season, they had the misfortune to play against the first-place team-the undefeated first-place team. The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called a time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Mr. Moss, this is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket,” said the boy. With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. Every time Kevin’s team had the ball, Kevin was to stand in his special spot near the free-throw line and they would give him the ball. 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。 His first shot bounced around but missed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, all the players threw the ball to Kevin and clapped for him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 His first shot bounced around but missed. Number 17 from the other team got the ball and took it down to the other end scoring two more points. As soon as Kevin’s team had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who stood in his place. But he missed again. This pattern continued a few more times until Number17 grew wise. He grabbed the ball and instead of running down the court, he threw the ball to Kevin who shot...but missed again. On the halfway back, Andy heard his mum’s calling. Soon, all the players threw the ball to Kevin and clapped for him. It took the audience just a little longer to figure out what was happening, but little by little people started to stand up and clap their hands. After many attempts, the ball took one bounce and went in. Kevin’s arms shot high into the air and he shouted for joy. The clock ticked off the last few seconds and the first-place team remained undefeated. But on that evening, everyone left the game truly feeling like a winner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Kevin是个“迟钝”的男孩，但和其他人相处得很好，他加入了他的老师Randy Moss组建的篮球队，Kevin热爱篮球，但是他投不进球，球队输掉了所有的比赛，在赛季结束时，他们不幸地与第一名的球队比赛，虽然比方落后很多，但是Kevin的队友觉得应该让Kevin投篮，每次Kevin所在的球队拿球时，Kevin都要站在罚球线附近他的特殊位置，然后他们就会把球给他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的第一个球弹来弹去，但没中。”可知，第一段可描写比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，所有的球员都把球扔给凯文，并为他鼓掌。”可知，第二段可描写在所有人的鼓励下，Kevin进球了，每个人都很开心。 2.续写线索：对方进球得分——Kevin一次又一次投不中球——人们站起来鼓掌——Kevin终于进了一球——Kevin很高兴——每个人都觉得自己是英雄 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①未投中：miss/fail to hit ②鼓掌：clap one’s hands/applaud ③进球：go in/go into the basket 情绪类 ①兴奋：one’s arms shoot high into the air/one’s arms were raised high ②高兴：shout for joy/shout for delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] As soon as Kevin’s team had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who stood in his place.

Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, backpacking trip, means an outdoor camp, where you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days lo several months. It gives you the chance to get closer to nature. In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV Camping If you go camping in a motorhome, you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. All you need is to find a suitable parking lot where you can park your car. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for starters. 21. Which camping is suitable for beginner campers? A. Tent camping. B. Hiking camping. C. Survival camping. D. RV camping. 22. What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A. They attract kids. B. They may be risky. C. They require training. D. They are family-friendly. 23. What is a unique advantage of RV camping? A. Low costs. B. Access to nature. C. Homely comfort. D. Flexible schedules B On a stormy night in November, the small coastal town of Windermere was enveloped in darkness. The lighthouse, standing tall on the rough cliffs, had been the town’s guardian for over a century. But tonight, its light shone weakly, as if struggling against the howling wind. Old Captain Harris, now retired, sat by his fireplace, listening to the radio warnings of an approaching hurricane. His wrinkled hands trembled as he recalled the night thirty years ago when he had nearly lost his ship to these dangerous waters. Back then, the lighthouse’s light had guided him to safety. Now, with the keeper, Mr. Thompson, entrusted by the town mayor, bed-ridden with fever, the lighthouse stood unmanned. Determined, Captain Harris grabbed his raincoat and lantern. “Someone has to keep the light burning,” he whispered. The journey to the lighthouse was challenging — the narrow path was slippery with rain, and the wind threatened to throw him off balance. Yet, step by step, he pressed on. Inside the tower, the machinery groaned (呻吟) under the storm’s attack. Captain Harris climbed the spiraling (螺旋式的) stairs, he was out of breath. At the top, he adjusted the lens and refueled the lamp. As the light steadied, a distant ship’s horn echoed through the night — a cargo ship fighting the waves. Hours later, when the storm finally passed, the townsfolk found Captain Harris fell down heavily against the lighthouse wall, exhausted but smiling. The cargo ship’s captain later sent a letter of gratitude, crediting the precious light for saving his crew. That winter, Captain Harris passed away peacefully in his sleep. The town set up a plaque (匾) in his honor, carved with his final words: “A light is only as strong as the hands that keep it alive.” 24. What was the condition of the lighthouse when the storm hit? A. It was brightly lit and fully operational. B. Its light was functioning unusually. C. It had been abandoned for years. D. It was being repaired by the townsfolk. 25. Why did Captain Harris decide to go to the lighthouse? A. He wanted to check on Mr. Thompson. B. He remembered how the lighthouse had once saved him. C. He was ordered by the town mayor. D. He was curious about the storm’s damage. 26. What can be inferred about Captain Harris’s character? A. Careless and adventurous. B. Selfish and cautious. C. Courageous and selfless. D. Indifferent and determined. 27. What is the most likely reason that the cargo ship’s horn was included in the story? A. To emphasize the danger of the storm. B. To show his efforts were meaningful. C. To introduce a new character. D. To create a sense of mystery. C Most of us have experienced being introduced to someone new only to forget his name within seconds. But why is it often easy to remember a person’s face but so difficult to remember what he’s called? A new video explains that the phenomenon is due to the way our brains process arbitrary data. The video, called “Why do you forget their names?”, was produced by Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown. The pair explained that our brains are born to recognize facial details and that specific brain cells fire in response to seeing a face. The University of Toronto, for example, found when looking for faces in a crowd the frontal cortex (前额叶皮层) sends signals to the posterior visual cortex (后视觉皮层) to enhance what the person was looking at. But because names are random and hold no specific information in themselves, the brain struggles to remember them. The video continued to show when meeting people for the first time, many of us focus on introducing ourselves and this is known as the “next-in-line effect”. Instead of watching and listening to the other person, the brain starts focusing on its own routine — what I’ll say and how I’ll say it. As a result we’re not able to take in new information. In an experiment by Texas Christian University, researchers asked people in a group to take turns introducing themselves. They then tested them to see which information they remembered. A participant’s memory was accurate for each fellow group member except for the person who spoke before them. For these people, the participants failed to recall any or little information. Also, brains have both short-and long-term memory and the short-term memory is often called “working memory”. This can only hold so much information and if the brain doesn’t focus, or repeat it, the information fades. 28. What may make names hard to remember? A. Names are regarded as useless information. B. There is little detailed information in names. C. Names are specific to each individual person. D. The human brain responds to names too slowly. 29. What do we know about the “next-in-line effect” mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. It makes it hard to identify a person. B. It causes a temporary loss of memory. C. It worsens the ability to listen to others. D. It blocks the reception of new information. 30. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5? A. Add some background information. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion. C. Explain the previous paragraph further. D. Provide another experiment for reference. 31. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Whether you prefer some names to others. B. Why you cannot remember people’s names. C. What influences your memory of specific names. D. How much information you can get from names. D Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed an innovative ultrasonic (超声波) system to shake water out of an atmospheric water harvester, recovering captured water in just minutes, a breakthrough aiming to address global water shortages. Atmospheric water harvesting, which collects water even from dry desert air, has been explored by scientists for ages. “Traditional methods rely heavily on solar heat to release the water absorbed by a special material. Any material good at capturing water doesn’t want to part with that water,” said the team leader Boriskina. “The process tends to drag on for hours to turn out usable water, unable to meet urgent needs in water-starved regions.” Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student specializing in ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices, became a collaborator when Boriskina recognized his ultrasound expertise combined with theirs could solve the water recovery problem head-on. Ultrasound is a form of high-frequency sound wave that can generate microscopic shakes when acting on a substance. This being the case, the team put forward a straightforward idea: Applying ultrasound to the water-harvesting material, they could break the weak bonds between the water molecules and the material, quickly causing the water to shake loose and drop out as droplets. The team set out to develop an ultrasonic water-harvesting device. It is heat-free but requires external electricity. A solar cell can run the system and also act as a sensor that signals when the storage material has reached full limit. Programmed to activate automatically whenever enough water is ready to be collected, the setup boasts 45-fold higher energy efficiency than heat-based alternatives, operates independent of sunlight and enables repeated daily cycles for greater water output. It can be easily positioned in remote dry regions, providing a steady supply of clean water and a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to energy-intensive processes like seawater desalination. Endless possibilities will unfold when distinct fields of science — ultrasound technology, materials science and environmental engineering — come together. The Svetlana-led MIT team’s leap in water recovery technology is a powerful testament to this very truth, one that is anticipated to bring vital solutions to water-scarce regions. 32. What did Boriskina say about traditional water harvesting methods? A. They’re low-yielding. B. They use waterproof materials. C. They’re resource-intensive. D. They vary from region to region. 33. On what basis did the team propose the novel idea in paragraph 4? A. The easy release of water. B. Ultrasound’s physical properties. C. The toughness of materials. D. Ultrasound’s application ranges. 34. What is the function of a solar cell in the ultrasonic device? A. To heat the storage material. B. To absorb and draw on sunlight. C. To power the device and monitor capacity. D. To set the device for automatic operation. 35. What mainly accounts for the team’s technological breakthrough? A. Pressing water demand. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Interschool academic exchanges. D. Svetlana’s exceptional leadership. 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。 How to Be Hopeful About the Future It can be tough to believe that good things are coming your way when your hopes and dreams haven’t yet been realized.

He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, Kevin could get along well with other people. And his enthusiasm for life was quite contagious (有感染力的). So, when he discovered that his teacher, Randy Moss, was putting together a basketball team, his mother could only answer, “Yes, you may join.” Basketball became the center of Kevin’s life. He liked to stand in a certain spot near the free-throw line and shoot baskets. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball. The day before their first game, Randy gave each player a bright red jersey (运动衫). Kevin had stars in his eyes when he saw his number 12. He quickly put it on and almost never took it off again. Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game doesn’t help you win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night it snowed. and the other team couldn’t make it to the game. At the end of the season, they had the misfortune to play against the first-place team-the undefeated first-place team. The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called a time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Mr. Moss, this is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket,” said the boy. With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. Every time Kevin’s team had the ball, Kevin was to stand in his special spot near the free-throw line and they would give him the ball. 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。 His first shot bounced around but missed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, all the players threw the ball to Kevin and clapped for him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
