B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一款用于检测文字提交内容相似度的评估工具。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Turnitin is an assessment tool to check similarity for text-based submissions. It compares a submitted assessment against a database of other papers and journals to detect similarity. (Turnitin是一款用于检测文字提交内容相似度的评估工具。它会将提交的评估材料与数据库中的其他论文和期刊进行比对，以识别其中的相似之处)”可知，Turnitin 可以用来检查文本的原创性。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据图片中的流程图内容“Will the submission be text-based in a typical text-based format? Yes.(提交的内容会是以典型的纯文本格式呈现的吗？是)”及“1 student，1 submission(一个学生，一次提交)”可知，提交内容是标准文本格式的文本类内容，单个学生的独立提交。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Instructions部分“You can use the instructions area to provide information or directions that are specific to this assignment, for example, if you want students to use their student number as the name of the work when they upload it.(您可以利用Instructions区域来提供与本次作业相关的特定信息或说明，例如，如果您希望学生在上传作业时使用其学号作为作业的名称)”可知，说明栏Instructions区域可以用于填写作业布置的具体要求。故选B项。 B I am the world’s leading climate change campaigner. Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we’re exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING. Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance. The only problem? Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house. Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it’s midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power. What’s Jocasta up to? Running a factory? The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I’ve earned. What? Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog? I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time. 4. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. He is a creative businessman. B. He takes pride in the solar gains. C. He enjoys launching campaigns. D. He has a gift for app development. 5. What does Jocasta complain about? A. The unknown waste of power. B. Her family’s impatient attitude. C. The unstable supply of electricity. D. Her husband’s unreasonable behavior. 6. What does the underlined phrase “through the roof” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Rocketing. B. Changing. C. Freezing. D. Diving. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. Great minds think ahead of their time. D. Technology is a good servant but a bad master. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者安装了太阳能板并通过手机APP监控发电量与用电量，为此过度控制家中用电，甚至因此引发家人抱怨，还因天气、意外耗电等情况焦虑不已，幽默地展现了人们在享受科技便利的同时，也容易被科技过度支配的生活状态。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING.(我很享受这种感觉。没错，我在拯救地球。更重要的是：我什么都不用做，每小时就能赚10多美分。)”可知，作者为自己利用太阳能获得收益并节能的行为感到自豪。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of ‘I was using that light to read a book’ or ‘Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer’(我妻子乔卡斯塔会有些抱怨，比如‘我正用那盏灯看书呢’或者‘你关我电脑之前怎么不保存我的文件’)”可知，妻子抱怨丈夫不合理的关灯、关电脑等控制用电的行为。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power.(哦不！乌云密布！糟了！我们现在一点电都发不出来了。而用电量却突然through the roof。我们正在耗尽电网的电力。)”可知，太阳能不发电时，用电量急剧上升，through the roof意为“急剧上升、飞涨”，与rocketing含义一致。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming.(嗯，是从上个月开始算的。就在上个月，我们家装了太阳能板，还连了我手机上的一个应用。现在不管我在哪儿，只要打开这个应用，就能看到我们发了多少电、用了多少电。)”、倒数第二段中“Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app.(回到办公室，我发现我的眼睛很难从这个应用程序上移开。) ”、最后一段中“You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time.(你看，有时候走在时代的前面是很难的。)”并结合全文可知，作者借助太阳能和APP管理用电本是科技带来的便利，却反过来被这个监控应用控制了生活，时时刻刻牵挂耗电量，一点波动就焦虑不已，文章传达出“科技是好的仆人，但容易成为糟糕的主人”的道理。故选D。 C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 8. What are cities like DC trying to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings. C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home. 9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 10. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国多个城市正面临办公室空置率过高和住房短缺的双重问题，华盛顿特区等城市开始尝试将空置办公楼改造为住宅，以同时缓解这两个危机。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正寄希望于通过将空置办公室改造成住宅，一个危机能够帮助解决另一个危机。)”可知，华盛顿特区等城市正在尝试将空置办公室重新改造利用。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. ‘We would love to do more,’ says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, ‘but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.’(计划包括游泳池和狗公园等豪华设施，预计月租金约4000美元。然而，将有60套单元被预留为经济适用房。‘我们想要做得更多，’一家开发公司的总裁马特·佩斯特罗克说，‘但不幸的是，几乎所有资本都追求回报。这是我们能够负担得起的最大限度了。’)”可知，该项目在提供高端设施（追求利润）的同时，也预留了部分经济适用房（满足社会需求），实现了利润与社会需求的平衡。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.’ says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. (‘就提供部分住房供应而言，这确实是一举两得。’布鲁金斯学会研究员特蕾西·洛说，她研究旧建筑的适应性再利用。而且它倾向于在需求旺盛的中心城区和交通便利的地区创造住房。)”可知，特蕾西·洛认为这种做法确实能解决一些问题，但她用了“部分住房供应”，暗示这种转化只能提供部分住房，并不能从根本上解决住房短缺问题，因此她认为这种做法是现实的、可行的，但影响范围有限。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. (像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正寄希望于通过将空置办公室改造成住宅，一个危机能够帮助解决另一个危机。)”以及最后一段“Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.(正如空置的工厂楼层变成了时尚的公寓，如今空置的办公空间正在变成时尚的厨房和卧室。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是将空置办公室改造为住宅这一趋势。 D Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 13. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 15. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应，即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来；一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象，并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性，同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现：雏鸡也会做出同样的配对，这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知，这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时，80%会先靠近圆润形状，平均花三分多钟探索它，而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知，雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为，这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的，现在可以排除这种说法，因为小鸡尽管不会说话，但还是表现出了这种效果。相反，“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知，本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说：“即使语言是人类独有的，这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知，她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Street names help us figure out where we are. This can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too. Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. ____16____ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as the Kitchener (1850-1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa. Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. ____17____ But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life. So what should we do? ____18____ Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa. Where such names remain, people are creating walking tours to provide full context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. ____19____ It builds thoughtful ways forward locally. Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. ____20____ A. Residents rarely notice the street names. B. My view is that such streets be renamed. C. Perhaps we should consider the evidence. D. Perhaps that is a take-back we can all adopt. E. Another, changing these names erases history. F. This kind of practice is creative response to damaging histories. G. To name a street after a person is a way of honoring their achievements. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了街道命名背后的历史意义及应对有争议命名的不同观点和做法。 【16题详解】 由上文“Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name.(就在灯柱后面有一个由厚铁制成的旧牌子，上面写着这个名字。)”及下文“That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition.(那个标志似乎在说这个人过去和现在都值得被认可。)”可知，上文描述了街道上有一个旧牌子，上面写着名字，下文提到这个标志似乎在说这个人值得被认可，本空应说明以人名命名街道是对其成就的一种认可方式。G选项“以一个人的名字命名一条街道是纪念他们的成就的一种方式。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由上文“One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter.(一种观点认为这不过是小题大做。街道名称并不重要。)”及下文“But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life.(但是，通过街道名称来纪念那些应该为杀戮负责的人，会保留对过去的庆祝态度，并在日常生活中使其正常化。)”可知，上文说明了一种认为街道名称不重要的观点，下文通过转折说明另一种观点，即街道名称的重要性，本空应说明另一种反对的观点，E选项“另一种观点是，更改这些名称会抹去历史。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由上文“So what should we do?(那么我们该怎么办？)”及下文“Another option is the Amsterdam approach.(另一个选择是阿姆斯特丹的做法。)”可知，上文提出问题，下文给出另一个选择，本空应给出第一个选择或观点，B选项“我的观点是，这样的街道应该重新命名。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people.(在格拉斯哥，组织了一次游览，让人们了解这座城市在奴役人民中所扮演的角色。)”及下文“It builds thoughtful ways forward locally.(它在当地建立了深思熟虑的前进方式。)”可知，上文描述了格拉斯哥的一次游览活动，下文说明这次活动的影响，空格处应评价这种做法的意义，F选项“这种做法是对破坏性历史的创造性回应。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由上文“If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher.(如果Kitchener Road必须保留它的名字，我宁愿想象他们是在纪念“卡利普索之王”，而不是殖民屠夫。)”可知，上文作者提议若保留街名，宁愿把它解读为致敬音乐人而非殖民统治者，可知空格处应收尾总结、认可这种解读方式。D选项“也许这是我们都可以接受的看法。”能承接上文，符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Dr. James Leong is an eye doctor in Wellington.

When my daughter asked why I missed her school play again, I showed her the ____24____ pile of charts in my trunk.” Dr. Leong said. Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any ____25____, a new technology entered the picture — a digital assistant called an AI scribe. This “co-pilot” listens to doctor-patient ____26____, instantly transcribes (记录) notes, drafts reports, and organizes documentation. Now Dr. Leong is no longer ____27____ to a keyboard, free to do what he does best: ____28____ with his patients. “It ____29____ my human intelligence for where it matters most,” he says. The ____30____ is transformative. Dr. Leong can see a patient and have a follow-up letter ____31____ by the time they reach reception.

It is much easier to intuitively (直觉地) sense whether the audience enjoys the piece I am playing and ____40____ (feel) their emotions directly,” Sun told the Global Times. When artists move into public spaces to create and perform, art steps out from the closed environment of theaters into the more open settings of public life, making itself truly seen, ____41____ (hear), and participated in. Meanwhile, authentic audience feedback and the ____42____ (interact) atmosphere of live events often inspire artists, pushing them to reconsider ____43____ they express themselves through their work.

Ever since he was a little boy, he’d curl up in his sunlit bedroom corner, pencil in hand, filling stacks of notebooks with detailed sketches of neighborhood cats, gnarled oak trees, and his grandma’s warm, crinkly smile. But a heavy shadow hung over his passion: he was born with red-green color blindness, a mild impairment that made bright hues blur together. Every time he mixed paint for art class, he got dull, muddy canvases, and classmates’ quiet snickers left his cheeks burning with shame. By high school, Eliot’s dream of joining the school’s award-winning art club felt utterly impossible. He’d linger by the clubroom door long after classes ended, pressing his forehead to the cool glass to watch classmates paint vibrant, eye-catching murals, his own crumpled black-and-white sketches tucked tight deep in his backpack. He feared signing up would bring cruel mockery for his color blindness, or that his monochrome drawings would be dismissed as “lazy” and “unfinished.” His art teacher, Ms. Lopez, had long noticed Eliot’s quiet, extraordinary talent. One rainy afternoon, she found him huddled in the empty hallway sketching a scruffy stray cat, and knelt gently beside him, her voice warm and soft. “These lines are incredible, Eliot. You capture life so beautifully, even in black and white.” Eliot’s head snapped up, ears turning bright pink, and he shut his sketchbook fast, fingers trembling. “It’s nothing,” he mumbled, staring hard at his scuffed sneakers. “I can’t do color. I’m not a real artist.” Ms. Lopez smiled gently, but didn’t push further that day. A week later, Ms. Lopez announced a new club project: a black-and-white comic strip exhibition for the school’s upcoming literary festival. Eliot’s heart skipped a beat, but old, familiar insecurities held him back instantly. After class, she left a dog-eared graphic novel on his desk — drawn entirely in bold, striking black and white — with a handwritten note: “Talent isn’t in the colors you use. It’s in the stories you tell.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Eliot took the novel home, filled with courage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Eliot’s comic strip was a festival hit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Eliot took the novel home, filled with courage.The rainy night pattered on the window, and he sat at the dim desk, fingertips caressing the novel’s dog-eared pages. His droopy shoulders straightened slowly, eyes brightening under the desk lamp. He flipped open his crumpled sketchbook, pencil gliding across the paper — no more trembling fingers, no furrowed brows. He drew the stray cat with a milk bowl beside it, pouring all his warmth into every line. By midnight, the comic strip was done; he stroked the paper gently, eyes full of hesitant hope. Eliot’s comic strip was a festival hit. The exhibition hall was bustling, and his black-and-white work stood out, surrounded by admiring students. Eliot hid in a corner, clutching his clothes, cheeks flushed with shyness. Ms. Lopez walked over, patting his shoulder softly with a warm smile: “Eliot, your work touches everyone — this is the true beauty of art.” He looked up, eyes glistening with tears, whispering: “Thank you, Ms. Lopez. I finally dare to be proud of my drawings.” The art club leader soon came to invite him, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了患有红绿色盲症的Eliot在老师鼓励下重拾绘画勇气，完成漫画作品并在艺术节获得成功，最终找回自信与对绘画的热爱的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Eliot把那本小说带回了家，内心充满勇气。 ”可知，第一段可描写Eliot带着勇气回家后，在雨夜潜心创作漫画的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Eliot的连环漫画成了节日期间的热门作品。”可知，第二段可描写Eliot的作品在艺术节大获成功，得到老师与同学认可，他重拾绘画自信。 续写线索：获得勇气——潜心创作——完成作品——展出成功——获得认可——重拾自信 词汇激活 行为类 ①创作：draw/create/make ②抚摸：caress/stroke/touch ③感动：touch/move 情绪类 ①勇敢：courage/bravery ②犹豫不决的：hesitant/indecisive 【点睛】[高分句型 1] The rainy night pattered on the window, and he sat at the dim desk, fingertips caressing the novel’s dog-eared pages.（运用独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型 2] He looked up, eyes glistening with tears, whispering: “Thank you, Ms. Lopez.

B I am the world’s leading climate change campaigner. Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we’re exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING. Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance. The only problem? Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house. Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it’s midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power. What’s Jocasta up to? Running a factory? The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I’ve earned. What? Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog? I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time. 4. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. He is a creative businessman. B. He takes pride in the solar gains. C. He enjoys launching campaigns. D. He has a gift for app development. 5. What does Jocasta complain about? A. The unknown waste of power. B. Her family’s impatient attitude. C. The unstable supply of electricity. D. Her husband’s unreasonable behavior. 6. What does the underlined phrase “through the roof” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Rocketing. B. Changing. C. Freezing. D. Diving. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. Great minds think ahead of their time. D. Technology is a good servant but a bad master. C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 8. What are cities like DC trying to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings. C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home. 9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 10. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life D Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language.

This can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too. Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post was an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. ____16____ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as the Kitchener (1850-1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa. Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. ____17____ But honoring people responsible for killing through street names preserves a celebratory view of that past and normalises it in daily life. So what should we do? ____18____ Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa. Where such names remain, people are creating walking tours to provide full context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. ____19____ It builds thoughtful ways forward locally. Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. ____20____ A. Residents rarely notice the street names. B. My view is that such streets be renamed. C. Perhaps we should consider the evidence. D. Perhaps that is a take-back we can all adopt. E. Another, changing these names erases history. F. This kind of practice is creative response to damaging histories. G. To name a street after a person is a way of honoring their achievements. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Dr. James Leong is an eye doctor in Wellington.

Ever since he was a little boy, he’d curl up in his sunlit bedroom corner, pencil in hand, filling stacks of notebooks with detailed sketches of neighborhood cats, gnarled oak trees, and his grandma’s warm, crinkly smile. But a heavy shadow hung over his passion: he was born with red-green color blindness, a mild impairment that made bright hues blur together. Every time he mixed paint for art class, he got dull, muddy canvases, and classmates’ quiet snickers left his cheeks burning with shame. By high school, Eliot’s dream of joining the school’s award-winning art club felt utterly impossible. He’d linger by the clubroom door long after classes ended, pressing his forehead to the cool glass to watch classmates paint vibrant, eye-catching murals, his own crumpled black-and-white sketches tucked tight deep in his backpack. He feared signing up would bring cruel mockery for his color blindness, or that his monochrome drawings would be dismissed as “lazy” and “unfinished.” His art teacher, Ms. Lopez, had long noticed Eliot’s quiet, extraordinary talent. One rainy afternoon, she found him huddled in the empty hallway sketching a scruffy stray cat, and knelt gently beside him, her voice warm and soft. “These lines are incredible, Eliot. You capture life so beautifully, even in black and white.” Eliot’s head snapped up, ears turning bright pink, and he shut his sketchbook fast, fingers trembling. “It’s nothing,” he mumbled, staring hard at his scuffed sneakers. “I can’t do color. I’m not a real artist.” Ms. Lopez smiled gently, but didn’t push further that day. A week later, Ms. Lopez announced a new club project: a black-and-white comic strip exhibition for the school’s upcoming literary festival. Eliot’s heart skipped a beat, but old, familiar insecurities held him back instantly. After class, she left a dog-eared graphic novel on his desk — drawn entirely in bold, striking black and white — with a handwritten note: “Talent isn’t in the colors you use. It’s in the stories you tell.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Eliot took the novel home, filled with courage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Eliot’s comic strip was a festival hit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
