To track their cattle. C. To celebrate traditions. 19. What is mentioned about the tone of cowbells? A. Farmers change the tone yearly. B. Each cowbell has a different tone. C. The tone represents the size of the cow. 20. Why are Swiss cowbells expensive? A. They are made of costly metals. B. They were produced long ago. C. They are handmade and culturally significant. 【答案】18. B 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: The origins of the Swiss cowbell date back centuries, to be exact, over 900 years. As Alpine farmers moved their cattle between high and low grasslands, they needed a reliable means to track them. The cowbell, with its ring provided just that. Each bell has a unique tone that identifies any individual cow. Over time, it changed, not just in form but in significance, integrating itself into Swiss culture. For the Swiss, cowbells are symbolic of their connection with nature, their deep-rooted traditions, and the beauty of the Alps. There are only about six main cowbell makers left in Switzerland The bells are handmade and can last for decades Craftsmanship is highly valued. For travellers, Swiss cowbells have become beloved souvenirs. They’re not just reminders of a trip, but a slice of Swiss tradition. Whether hung on doorways or displayed on shelves, they serve as a symbol of the Alps’ breathtaking scenery and calmness it brings. Given the craftsmanship and cultural importance, genuine Swiss cowbells don’t come cheap. While Swiss cowbell prices vary based on size, material, and delicacy of design, some can cost hundreds, if not thousands, of Swiss francs. It’s a worthy price for a piece of Swiss heritage. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Student Volunteer Opportunities — Spring Semester Project Time Location Primary Duties Requirements (2023‒2025) Trend Library Digitization Weekdays, 1‒3 p.m. University Main Library Scan rare books; catalog metadata Basic computer skills; attention to detail 85% Campus Green Guide Fridays, 2‒4 p.m. Botanical Garden Lead tours; explain plant ecology Keen interest in environmental science; articulate.

My own world, in stark contrast, was a symphony of the immediate and the digital, curated by algorithms and experienced through noise-canceling headphones that delivered flawlessly produced, yet emotionally sterile, soundscapes. The piano’s passive, silent presence felt less like an invitation and more like a quiet accusation, a tangible reminder of a pursuit I had abandoned after childhood lessons devolved into a tiresome checklist of scales and recital pieces I never truly connected with. On a rain-streaked afternoon, a confluence of idleness and a faint, nagging sense of obligation propelled me to lift the heavy fallboard. The ivory keys, slightly yellowed at the edges like aged parchment, awaited. I pressed one. A single note, rich, resonant, and unmistakably out of tune, erupted into the room’s quiet, its vibration lingering in the air with a physicality that digital compression could never replicate. Tentatively, I fumbled through the remnants of a childhood sonatina. My fingers, strangers to this terrain, stumbled and collided, producing a halting, broken melody that was a pathetic echo of the seamless audio files in my library. Frustration, hot and immediate, surged — but was met, unexpectedly, by a more stubborn force: a determination to converse with this silence, to decode the language my grandmother had spoken. This time, the practice was stripped of external expectations. It became a slow, often painful, dialogue with the instrument, with the ghost of my grandmother’s patience, and with my own restless modern psyche. I spent weeks where progress was measured not in completed pieces, but in mastering a four-measure phrase, in the aching strengthening of my fourth finger, in learning to listen to the spaces between the notes as intently as to the notes themselves. The process, devoid of instant gratification, taught me a foreign grammar of patience. Months later, I could play a few short Chopin preludes. They were technically simple, emotionally raw, and filled with the tiny imperfections of a human touch. Yet, in their acoustic reality — the way the sound waves physically moved the air in the room — they felt more authentically alive than any streamed recording. I finally began to comprehend the silence the piano had guarded. It wasn’t emptiness; it was potential energy. It was the quiet, disciplined space where something beautiful could be built, note by imperfect note, a testament to a slower, more deliberate way of being that my hyper-efficient world had systematically trained me to overlook. The relic had transformed into the most profound of teachers. 24. How did the author initially perceive the piano after inheriting it? A. As a challenging but exciting new hobby to master. B. As a symbol of a bygone era and a personal failure. C. As a beautiful piece of furniture that enhanced the room. D. As a direct connection to her grandmother’s musical talent. 25. What initially motivated the author to touch the piano again? A. A desire to record a piece for social media. B. A combination of boredom and a sense of duty. C. The encouragement of a family member. D. The discovery of her grandmother’s old performance recordings. 26. What does the author imply was the key difference between her childhood and adult approach to practice? A. The adult practice focused on technical perfection, while childhood practice was for fun. B. The adult practice was goal-oriented for recitals, while childhood practice was aimless. C. The adult practice became an internal, mindful process, free from external performance goals. D. The adult practice involved more difficult pieces than her childhood lessons. 27. What is the main lesson the author learned from re-engaging with the piano? A. Digital technology is superior for music appreciation. B. Mastering a traditional skill is essential for personal identity. C. Patience and embracing imperfection can lead to deeper, more authentic experiences. D. Inherited objects are burdens that carry too much emotional weight. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者从将祖母留下的钢琴视为沉默的负担和失败的提醒，到重新与之接触，并通过摒弃外界期待、接纳不完美与耐心的练习，最终领悟到真实、缓慢的实践比数字化的完美更有价值的成长历程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The grand piano I inherited at sixteen from my grandmother stood in my living room not as an instrument, but as a monument — a towering, dark-wooded relic shrouded in a silence that seemed to accumulate dust and the weight of elapsed time with equal measure. (16岁时，我从祖母那里继承了一架大钢琴，它摆在我的客厅里，不是作为一件乐器，而是作为一座纪念碑——一座高耸的黑木遗迹，笼罩在一片寂静之中，似乎在同样程度上积聚灰尘和流逝的时间的重量。)”以及“The piano’s passive, silent presence felt less like an invitation and more like a quiet accusation, a tangible reminder of a pursuit I had abandoned after childhood lessons devolved into a tiresome checklist of scales and recital pieces I never truly connected with.(钢琴的被动、无声的存在感觉不像是一种邀请，而更像是一种无声的指责，它是一个切实的提醒，提醒我早已放弃的追求：童年时的课程退化成了令人厌倦的音阶练习和独奏曲目清单，而我从未真正与它们产生过连接。)”可知，作者起初将钢琴视作过往时代的遗物，也时刻提醒作者自己童年就放弃了钢琴练习，是个人的失败。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On a rain-streaked afternoon, a confluence of idleness and a faint, nagging sense of obligation propelled me to lift the heavy fallboard.(在一个雨水淋漓的下午，百无聊赖与一丝挥之不去的责任感汇聚在一起，促使我掀开了沉重的琴盖。)”可知，无聊闲散加上内心隐隐的责任感驱使作者再次触碰钢琴。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This time, the practice was stripped of external expectations. It became a slow, often painful, dialogue with the instrument, with the ghost of my grandmother’s patience, and with my own restless modern psyche.(这一次，这种做法被剥夺了外界的期望。它变成了一场缓慢而痛苦的对话，与乐器对话，与祖母的耐心的幽灵对话，与我自己不安的现代心灵对话。)”以及第四段中“It was the quiet, disciplined space where something beautiful could be built, note by imperfect note, a testament to a slower, more deliberate way of being that my hyper-efficient world had systematically trained me to overlook.(那是一个安静的、自律的空间，在那里，可以通过一个个不完美的音符，建造出美丽的东西——它证明了一种更缓慢、更从容的存在方式，而这正是我那高效运转的世界曾系统性地训练我去忽视的。)”可知，成年后重新练琴时，练习剥离了外部期待，变成了和钢琴、自我对话的慢过程，进步不是以完成整首曲子衡量，而是用心体会细节。因此，作者暗示她童年和成人的练习方法之间的关键区别是：成年后的练习抛开外界期许，成为发自内心、专注沉浸的过程，不再带有外在表演目标。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet, in their acoustic reality — the way the sound waves physically moved the air in the room — they felt more authentically alive than any streamed recording. I finally began to comprehend the silence the piano had guarded. It wasn’t emptiness; it was potential energy. It was the quiet, disciplined space where something beautiful could be built, note by imperfect note, a testament to a slower, more deliberate way of being that my hyper-efficient world had systematically trained me to overlook. (然而，在他们的声学现实中——声波在房间里物理移动空气的方式——他们比任何流媒体录音都感觉更真实。我终于开始理解钢琴所保持的沉默。它不是空虚；它是势能。那是一个安静的、自律的空间，在那里，可以通过一个个不完美的音符，建造出美丽的东西——它证明了一种更缓慢、更从容的存在方式，而这正是我那高效运转的世界曾系统性地训练我去忽视的。)”可知，作者最终发现，带着不完美的真实演奏比数字录音更有生命力，钢琴教会她慢下来、接纳不完整，获得更真实的体验。 C The “urban heat island” (UHI) effect, a phenomenon where metropolitan areas experience significantly higher temperatures than their rural surroundings, is a formidable and intensifying challenge for cities worldwide. This thermal discrepancy, which can escalate to a staggering 3-4°C or more, is not merely a matter of discomfort; it acts as a pernicious multiplier of climate change impacts, driving up energy consumption, exacerbating public health crises, and destabilizing local ecosystems. The primary culprits are the fundamental alterations humans make to the landscape. Vast expanses of natural vegetation, which cool the air through shading and the process of evapotranspiration-where plants release water vapor-are supplanted by asphalt, concrete, and brick. These materials possess high thermal mass, aggressively absorbing solar radiation by day and slowly releasing it as heat throughout the night, effectively trapping cities in a thermal blanket that prevents normal nocturnal cooling. This foundational issue is critically compounded by anthropogenic waste heat, the byproduct of energy expended by vehicles, industrial facilities, and the very air conditioning systems deployed to combat the rising temperatures. The consequences of this amplified heat are systemic and severe. Surging demand for air conditioning during heatwaves places immense, often dangerous, strain on power grids, increasing the risk of blackouts precisely when cooling is most vital. This creates a vicious feedback loop: higher energy use generates more waste heat, which in turn raises ambient temperatures further. From a public health perspective, the UHI effect is particularly insidious because it often elevates nighttime temperatures most significantly. Since the human body relies on cooler nighttime periods for physiological recovery from daytime heat stress, the loss of this respite leads to a marked increase in heat-related morbidity and mortality, disproportionately affecting the elderly, the very young, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Mitigation strategies, therefore, must be as multi-faceted as the problem itself. Increasing urban greenery is the most direct countermeasure. This goes beyond mere parks; it includes integrating green roofs and walls on buildings, planting shade trees along streetscapes, and creating “pocket parks” in underutilized spaces. A complementary approach involves re-engineering the urban fabric itself through the use of “cool materials.” These innovative pavements and building surfaces are designed to have higher solar reflectance (albedo) and improved thermal emissivity, meaning they reflect more sunlight and release absorbed heat more readily than conventional materials. Cities like Los Angeles have experimented with coating streets in light-gray reflective sealant, with studies showing measurable surface temperature reductions. While technological and design solutions are crucial, experts like Dr. Michael Chen, an urban climatologist at the University of Toronto, caution that “we cannot simply engineer our way out of the heat island effect without also addressing the root cause: our patterns of energy consumption and urban sprawl.” Ultimately, combating the UHI effect is not just about cooling cities; it is a fundamental component of building urban resilience, improving public health outcomes, and creating more sustainable and livable environments for the future, requiring an integrated strategy of smart design, policy, and community engagement. 28. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The technological history of air conditioning. B. The causes, consequences, and mitigation strategies for urban heat islands. C. A comparison of architectural styles in different cities. D. The health benefits of urban gardening programs. 29. According to paragraph 1, how do materials like asphalt and concrete contribute to the UHI effect? A. They produce cold air that sinks into the ground. B. They absorb heat by day and release it slowly at night, disrupting normal cooling cycles. C. They directly absorb moisture from the air, making it drier and hotter. D. They block wind flows that would otherwise cool the city. 30. The author mentions the “vicious feedback loop” in paragraph 2 to illustrate that: A. Hotter weather naturally leads to more outdoor activities. B. Efforts to cool cities with air conditioning can unintentionally make the problem worse. C. Power grids are becoming more efficient every year. D. Public health warnings are effective at reducing energy use. 31. Which of the following would Dr. Michael Chen most likely consider a limited solution to the UHI effect? A. Planting thousands of new street trees across a metropolitan area. B. Mandating the use of cool, reflective materials on all new buildings. C. Launching a public education campaign about nighttime heat risks. D. Focusing only on reflective paints without changing high energy consumption patterns. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了城市热岛效应的成因、危害及缓解对策。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The primary culprits are the fundamental alterations humans make to the landscape.(造成这一现象的主要元凶，是人类对自然地貌做出的根本性改造。)”、第二段“The consequences of this amplified heat are systemic and severe.(这种持续加剧的高温所带来的后果，影响范围广且后果十分严峻。)”和第三段“Mitigation strategies, therefore, must be as multi-faceted as the problem itself.(因此，缓解对策必须和问题本身一样多角度、全方位。)”可知，文章的主旨是城市热岛效应的成因、危害及缓解对策。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These materials possess high thermal mass, aggressively absorbing solar radiation by day and slowly releasing it as heat throughout the night, effectively trapping cities in a thermal blanket that prevents normal nocturnal cooling.(这类物质热容量大，白天大量吸收太阳辐射，入夜后又缓慢散发热量，如同给城市裹上一层保温罩，阻碍城市实现正常的夜间降温。)”可知，根据第一段，沥青、混凝土这类材料白天吸热、夜晚缓慢放热，扰乱正常降温循环。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This creates a vicious feedback loop: higher energy use generates more waste heat, which in turn raises ambient temperatures further. (这就形成了恶性循环：能源消耗越多，产生的废热就越多，进而使得环境温度进一步升高。)”可知，第二段提到 “恶性循环”是为了说明依靠空调降温反而会加重高温问题。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“we cannot simply engineer our way out of the heat island effect without also addressing the root cause: our patterns of energy consumption and urban sprawl.(如果不解决能源消耗模式和城市无序扩张这一根本问题，我们单凭工程手段根本无法消除热岛效应。)”可知，迈克尔・陈博士最有可能认为只使用反光涂料、不改变高耗能模式属于治标不治本，这是治理热岛效应的有限治标办法。 D A groundbreaking discovery concealed beneath kilometers of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet — a vast, ancient landscape larger than Belgium, preserved in deep freeze for potentially 14 million years — is fundamentally reshaping our understanding of Earth’s climatic past and forcing a recalibration of models that predict its fragile future. Utilizing a sophisticated combination of ice-penetrating radar data from aircraft and gravitational anomaly measurements from satellites, an international scientific consortium has meticulously mapped a pre-glacial terrain of dramatic valleys, rugged peaks, and deep basins. This exquisitely preserved “fossil landscape” serves as a unique, frozen archive, offering an unprecedented glimpse into a distant epoch when Antarctica was a verdant, forested continent teeming with life, before the tectonic shift of continents and falling atmospheric carbon dioxide levels plunged it into an icy hibernation. The significance of this buried world is twofold, operating across both deep time and pressing contemporary urgency. Primarily, it acts as a crucial calibration tool for paleoclimatology. The intricate topography — carved by rivers that flowed under a temperate climate — provides an immutable record against which scientists can test and refine models of how the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, the largest on Earth, first nucleated, grew, and flowed. By analyzing the direction and depth of these ancient drainage systems, researchers can reconstruct ancient atmospheric patterns and precipitation levels, offering hard data on how Antarctica responded to past periods of global warming, which in turn informs the range of its potential responses to current anthropogenic climate change. Secondly, and with more immediate stakes, this hidden geology directly controls the present-day stability and future vulnerability of the ice sheet above it. The terrain is not a smooth, gradual slope seaward but is characterized by precipitous troughs and stabilizing ridges. Crucially, the data reveals that several of these deep subglacial valleys are aligned directly towards the present-day grounding lines of major glaciers. This configuration is akin to placing the ice sheet on a tilted surface lubricated with potential accelerants. If warming ocean currents intrude along these submerged valleys, they could enable a process called “basal melting” at an accelerated scale, efficiently eating away at the ice from below and potentially unleashing vast, previously constrained inland ice into the ocean. As glaciologist Dr. Elena Petrov notes, “This isn’t just a map of the past; it’s a map of potential future discharge pathways. The geology dictates the plumbing system for ice loss.” The methodology behind this discovery is a triumph of remote sensing and computational geophysics. Ice-penetrating radar signals, painstakingly collected over decades of aerial surveys, bounce off the bedrock to reveal its contours. These datasets are fused with satellite measurements of minute gravitational variations caused by the density difference between rock and the overlying ice. Interpreting this information requires complex inverse modeling, a computational process akin to performing a geological CT scan on a continent-scale patient. However, the technique has limitations; radar resolution decreases with ice depth and in areas of complex geology, leading to uncertainties in the finest-scale features of the map, a challenge future missions with more advanced sensors hope to address. This discovery unequivocally shifts the paradigm in ice sheet science. The bedrock is no longer a passive stage but an active player controlling the drama of ice loss. While the full implications for sea-level rise projections will take years to fully integrate into models, the find underscores the profound complexity of Earth’s cryosphere. It highlights that within the immense, silent desert of the Antarctic ice lies a hidden landscape holding powerful, and perhaps alarming, clues about the scale and trajectory of one of climate change’s most consequential effects: the incremental, yet unstoppable, rise of the global oceans that will redefine the world’s coastlines for centuries to come. 32. Why is the buried Antarctic landscape referred to as a “fossil”? A. Because it contains the preserved remains of prehistoric plants and animals. B. Because it retains the physical form of a much older environment, preserving its history. C. Because it is made of extremely old rock formations. D. Because it was discovered using techniques borrowed from paleontology. 33. According to Dr. Elena Petrov, what is the practical significance of mapping the subglacial valleys? A. It helps locate mineral resources for potential future mining. B. It identifies the most stable areas for building research stations. C. It reveals the geographic pathways that could channel and accelerate ice loss towards the ocean. D. It proves that Antarctica was once connected to other continents. 34.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍南极冰下远古地貌的重大发现，阐明其对研究古气候、预判冰川消融与海平面上升的重要意义，并提及探测技术现存短板。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“a vast, ancient landscape larger than Belgium, preserved in deep freeze for potentially 14 million years(一个比比利时还大的广阔的古代景观，在深度冷冻中可能保存了1400万年)”以及“This exquisitely preserved “fossil landscape” serves as a unique, frozen archive, offering an unprecedented glimpse into a distant epoch when Antarctica was a verdant, forested continent teeming with life, before the tectonic shift of continents and falling atmospheric carbon dioxide levels plunged it into an icy hibernation.(这个保存完好的‘化石景观’是一个独特的冰冻档案，提供了一个前所未有的遥远时代的一瞥，当时南极洲是一个郁郁葱葱，森林覆盖的大陆，充满了生命，在大陆的构造转移和大气中二氧化碳含量的下降使它陷入冰冷的冬眠之前。)”可知，这片地貌留存着远古时期环境的原貌，封存着远古历史，因此被称作化石地貌。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As glaciologist Dr. Elena Petrov notes, “This isn’t just a map of the past; it’s a map of potential future discharge pathways. The geology dictates the plumbing system for ice loss.”(正如冰川学家埃琳娜·彼得罗娃博士所指出的：‘这不仅仅是一张过去的地图；它是一张未来潜在排放通道的地图。地质条件决定了冰流失的管道系统。’)”可知，绘制冰下山谷能够摸清可引导并加速冰川流入海洋、造成冰川流失的地理路径。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, the technique has limitations; radar resolution decreases with ice depth and in areas of complex geology, leading to uncertainties in the finest-scale features of the map, a challenge future missions with more advanced sensors hope to address.(然而，该技术有局限性；随着冰层厚度的增加，且在地质结构复杂的区域，雷达分辨率会降低，导致地图上最精细尺度特征的不确定性，这是未来使用更先进传感器的任务希望解决的一个挑战。)”可知，作者提及雷达技术的局限性后明确指出，这些不足是未来更先进的探测任务需要解决的问题，因此提到局限是为了强调未来研究和更先进数据采集的必要性。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章开篇报道了南极冰盖下发现古老地貌的重大科学发现，随后详细阐述了其对古气候学的校准意义、对冰盖稳定性与海平面上升的现实影响，以及所采用的技术方法和局限性。结尾强调这一发现改变了冰盖科学的范式，对理解气候变化和海平面上升有深远影响。因此，作者的主要目的是报道这一科学发现并阐述其深远意义。 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。 The Power of Negative Capability The poet John Keats coined the term “negative capability” to describe the capacity of being “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” ____36____ In an era that often equates quick answers with intelligence and decisiveness with strength, deliberately cultivating this comfort with the unresolved can be a surprising source of creativity and resilience. In creative endeavors, this capability is the essential soil from which original work grows. It is the mental state that allows a writer to dwell with a character whose motives are still unclear, a scientist to ponder anomalous data without immediately dismissing it, or an entrepreneur to sit with the ambiguity of an untested market. ____37____ The pressure to resolve the tension too quickly can collapse the delicate process of discovery. This concept also holds profound value in leadership and collaborative work. A leader possessing a high degree of negative capability can listen to conflicting, incomplete reports from their team without succumbing to the anxiety that demands an immediate, premature synthesis. ____38____ This creates a psychological safety that allows for the friction of diverse ideas to generate light rather than heat, reducing groupthink and surfacing more innovative solutions. On a personal, emotional level, it builds a crucial form of maturity. Life invariably presents us with stretches that cannot be neatly solved or fully understood — the fog of grief, the anxiety of a career transition, the complexities of a strained relationship. ____39____ It is the ability to say, “I don’t have the answer yet, and that’s okay,” and to find a way to inhabit that uncomfortable space without being paralyzed by it. How does one develop this muscle? It begins with small practices: observing thoughts without judgment during mindfulness, engaging with art that embraces ambiguity, or simply resisting the reflexive grab for the phone when a moment of boredom arises. ____40____ It is not passive surrender, but an active, disciplined patience — the strength to abide in the question until a deeper, more authentic answer gradually reveals itself. A. It is a resistance to the premature closure of complex questions. B. This patience allows for a richer, more nuanced picture to emerge before a decision is forced. C. Therefore, seeking immediate clarity should always be our primary goal. D. Negative capability provides a framework for navigating these ambiguous passages without false certainty. E. The modern world offers few opportunities to practice such tolerance. F. Keats contrasted this quality sharply with the relentless pursuit of logical answers. G. The goal is to become more comfortable with the process of not knowing. 【答案】36. F 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍济慈提出的消极感受力，阐述其多重价值并说明培养方法，倡导人们坦然接纳未知、摒弃急于求成的心态。 【36题详解】 上文“The poet John Keats coined the term “negative capability” to describe the capacity of being “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.”(诗人约翰·济慈（John Keats）创造了“消极感受力”（negative capability）一词，用来描述“处于不确定、神秘、怀疑之中，而不急于追求事实和理性”的能力。)”介绍了诗人济慈所创造的词“消极能力”及其定义；下文“In an era that often equates quick answers with intelligence and decisiveness with strength, deliberately cultivating this comfort with the unresolved can be a surprising source of creativity and resilience.(在一个经常把快速回答等同于智慧、果断等同于力量的时代，刻意培养这种对未解决问题的舒适感，可能是创造力和韧性的惊人源泉。)”讲当下时代推崇速成答案与果断心态；F选项“Keats contrasted this quality sharply with the relentless pursuit of logical answers.(济慈将这种品质与对逻辑答案的不懈追求进行了鲜明的对比。)”承接上文，指出济慈将“消极感受力”这种特质与对逻辑答案的无止境追求做对比，完美引出下文“现代社会追捧快速答案”的内容，衔接自然。 【37题详解】 上文“In creative endeavors, this capability is the essential soil from which original work grows.(在创造性的努力中，这种能力是原创作品生长的必要土壤。)”说明消极感受力是创作的根基，并举例说明消极感受力允许不同领域的创作者包容事物的模糊、面对不确定性；下文“The pressure to resolve the tension too quickly can collapse the delicate process of discovery.(过快解决紧张局势的压力可能会破坏微妙的发现过程。)”提到急于化解未知会打断探索过程，A选项“It is a resistance to the premature closure of complex questions.(它是对复杂问题过早结束的一种抵制。)”承接上文，点明消极感受力这种能力的核心内涵。“resistance to the premature closure”与下文“resolve the tension too quickly”相对应。 【38题详解】 上文“A leader possessing a high degree of negative capability can listen to conflicting, incomplete reports from their team without succumbing to the anxiety that demands an immediate, premature synthesis. (拥有高度消极能力的领导者可以倾听来自团队的相互矛盾、不完整的报告，而不会屈服于需要立即、过早综合的焦虑。)”提到拥有消极感受力的领导不会急于整合信息、过早下结论；下文“This creates a psychological safety that allows for the friction of diverse ideas to generate light rather than heat, reducing groupthink and surfacing more innovative solutions.(这创造了一种心理安全感，允许不同想法的摩擦产生光而不是热，减少群体思维并呈现更多创新的解决方案。)”说这种做法会带来心理安全、更好的创新方案，B选项“This patience allows for a richer, more nuanced picture to emerge before a decision is forced.(这种耐心可以让你在被迫做出决定之前看到更丰富、更细致的画面。)”承接上文，阐述暂缓决断带来的益处，引出后文“带来心理安全、催生创新方案”的结果。选项中“This patience”指代上文“冷静听取矛盾信息，不急于仓促总结定论”的特质。 【39题详解】 上文“Life invariably presents us with stretches that cannot be neatly solved or fully understood — the fog of grief, the anxiety of a career transition, the complexities of a strained relationship.(生活总是呈现给我们一些无法轻易解决或完全理解的时期——悲伤的迷雾，职业转变的焦虑，紧张关系的复杂性。)”提到生活中总会出现很多无法理清、解决的不确定处境；D选项“Negative capability provides a framework for navigating these ambiguous passages without false certainty.(消极感受力为我们从容度过这些迷茫阶段、摒弃盲目笃定提供了思路)”衔接上文人生困境，点明消极感受力的情绪价值，引出下文“It is the ability to say, “I don’t have the answer yet, and that’s okay,” and to find a way to inhabit that uncomfortable space without being paralyzed by it.(它是一种说，“我还没有答案，没关系”的能力，并找到一种方法来适应那个不舒服的空间，而不被它麻痹。)”对该能力的解释，衔接自然；选项中的“these ambiguous passages”指代上文提到的各类不确定人生阶段。 【40题详解】 上文“It begins with small practices: observing thoughts without judgment during mindfulness, engaging with art that embraces ambiguity, or simply resisting the reflexive grab for the phone when a moment of boredom arises.(它始于一些小的练习：在正念期间不加评判地观察思想，参与包含模糊性的艺术，或者只是在无聊的时候抵制条件反射性地抓起手机。)”介绍了培养消极感受力的日常小方法；下文“It is not passive surrender, but an active, disciplined patience-the strength to abide in the question until a deeper, more authentic answer gradually reveals itself.(这不是被动的投降，而是一种主动的、有纪律的耐心——一种坚持问题的力量，直到一个更深刻、更真实的答案逐渐显露出来。)”点明消极感受力的本质：不是被动妥协，而是主动克制的耐心，G选项“The goal is to become more comfortable with the process of not knowing.(我们的目标是让自己更适应不知道的过程。)”承接上文的练习方式，引出后文深层内涵，符合行文逻辑。 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。 The philosophy club at our high school was an island of quiet conversation in a sea of athletic enthusiasm and frenetic artistic preparation. I joined, not out of any deep Socratic calling, but because it met in a warm room during the last period on Thursdays, and I had nowhere more compelling to be. Mr. Davies, our advisor, spoke with a calm that seemed to absorb the surrounding noise. He never told us what to think, but persistently, gently, guided us in how to think. One week, he presented a classic dilemma: a runaway trolley is headed for five people tied to a track. You can pull a lever, diverting it onto a side track where it will kill one person. Do you pull it? The room fractured. “It’s simple math-save five!” argued one side. “But you’re making yourself an active agent in killing the one!” countered another, their voice thick with ____41____. I sat, my own opinion a ship adrift, ____42____ by each new argument. Then Mr. Davies refined the scenario: “What if the single person on the side track is a child?” The ethical calculus, once seemingly clear, dissolved into a ____43____ of gut feeling and tortured logic. I left that day mentally drained, yet feeling a strange, electric ____44____ I hadn’t experienced in any other class. The questions had no answers, and that, I was starting to see, was precisely the ____45____. Week after week, we wrestled with the nature of justice, the illusion of free will, the problem of other minds. I began to perceive the world through a new ____46____. A headline wasn’t just news; it was a nest of unexamined premises. A disagreement with my father wasn’t just a clash of wills; it was a conflict of foundational ____47____. I learned to deconstruct my own assumptions, to build logical ____48____ that could withstand scrutiny, and, most painfully, to truly listen to perspectives that my instincts screamed to reject. This newfound habit of interrogation didn’t make me popular. At lunch, my tendency to respond to a friend’s strong opinion with “What leads you to that ____49____?” could be met with eye rolls. My social currency, once based on easy agreement, ____50____ . Yet, in its place, I found a different, sturdier ____51____ : a confidence born not of knowing the right answers, but of being able to ____52____ the right questions. I was no longer a passive vessel for information; I was an active, if confused, participant in a much larger conversation. On the final day, Mr. Davies gave each of us a smooth, river-worn stone. “Philosophy rarely provides ____53____,” he said. “Its gift is the unsettled mind, the good question that ____54____ complacency. Keep this. Let it remind you to stay ____55____.” I keep that stone on my desk. In a cacophonous world of instant takes and performative certainty, it is a quiet monument to doubt, to the weight of a thoughtful pause, and to the slow, enduring work of building a mind that can think for itself. 41.

Arthur, a sixth-former with a deep passion for Eastern culture, had spent months mastering the delicate art of Chinese ink wash painting, or Shui-mo. His piece, titled “The Spirit of the Pine,” was a masterpiece of subtlety, capturing the ancient tree’s resilience through varying shades of grey and black ink on absorbent Xuan paper. Emily, a coding prodigy with a flair for digital media, proposed a bold idea: to use AI to create an interactive layer that would respond to the viewer’s movements. They saw this as the perfect collaboration — melding Arthur’s reverence for tradition with Emily’s drive for innovation. They believed this fusion would not only preserve the cultural heritage but also make it accessible to a modern audience. For weeks, they worked in harmony. Arthur would paint, explaining the essence of Qi Yun (vital energy) in every brushstroke, while Emily took notes, designing algorithms to mimic the flow of energy. However, as the submission deadline loomed closer, the tension began to rise. Emily, worried that the static painting wouldn’t grab the judges’ attention in a room full of holograms, decided to take creative control. Without consulting Arthur, she ran his original painting through a neural style-transfer program, overlaying it with pulsating geometric patterns and loud electronic sound effects. When Arthur returned from a weekend trip to find the transformation, he was devastated. “Emily, what have you done?” Arthur whispered, his face pale as he stared at the screen. “You’ve destroyed the balance. The pine tree is supposed to be tranquil, not screaming with neon lights. This isn’t art; it’s a glitch.” Emily crossed her arms defensively. “Don’t you see, Arthur? Your pine tree is beautiful, but it’s silent. I’ve given it a voice! We need to stand out, not fade into the background.” Arthur looked at the chaotic screen, then at his paint-stained hands, feeling a rift opening not just in their project, but in their friendship. The room was thick with an awkward silence, broken only by the hum of the computer fan. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已给出。 Paragraph 1: Arthur took a deep breath and suggested they step outside for fresh air. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As they returned to the classroom, a new idea began to form in their minds. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Arthur took a deep breath and suggested they step outside for fresh air, because the tense atmosphere inside made it hard for them to talk calmly. As they walked slowly down the hallway, he told Emily that what really hurt him was not the AI effects themselves, but the fact that she had changed his painting without discussing it with him first. He explained that ink wash painting, which focuses on quietness and inner peace, should never be filled with noisy lights and loud sounds. If Emily had thought about his feelings, she would have realized that flashy styles are totally unsuitable for this work. Standing there quietly, Emily lowered her head, feeling sorry for being so impulsive. Paragraph 2: As they returned to the classroom, a new idea began to form in their minds. They agreed that they would keep Arthur’s original ink painting as the core, and add some gentle AI elements that matched its calm style. This not only kept the traditional charm but also made the work more attractive. Had they kept arguing, they would have ruined both the project and their friendship.

B The grand piano I inherited at sixteen from my grandmother stood in my living room not as an instrument, but as a monument — a towering, dark-wooded relic shrouded in a silence that seemed to accumulate dust and the weight of elapsed time with equal measure. My own world, in stark contrast, was a symphony of the immediate and the digital, curated by algorithms and experienced through noise-canceling headphones that delivered flawlessly produced, yet emotionally sterile, soundscapes. The piano’s passive, silent presence felt less like an invitation and more like a quiet accusation, a tangible reminder of a pursuit I had abandoned after childhood lessons devolved into a tiresome checklist of scales and recital pieces I never truly connected with. On a rain-streaked afternoon, a confluence of idleness and a faint, nagging sense of obligation propelled me to lift the heavy fallboard. The ivory keys, slightly yellowed at the edges like aged parchment, awaited. I pressed one. A single note, rich, resonant, and unmistakably out of tune, erupted into the room’s quiet, its vibration lingering in the air with a physicality that digital compression could never replicate. Tentatively, I fumbled through the remnants of a childhood sonatina. My fingers, strangers to this terrain, stumbled and collided, producing a halting, broken melody that was a pathetic echo of the seamless audio files in my library. Frustration, hot and immediate, surged — but was met, unexpectedly, by a more stubborn force: a determination to converse with this silence, to decode the language my grandmother had spoken. This time, the practice was stripped of external expectations. It became a slow, often painful, dialogue with the instrument, with the ghost of my grandmother’s patience, and with my own restless modern psyche. I spent weeks where progress was measured not in completed pieces, but in mastering a four-measure phrase, in the aching strengthening of my fourth finger, in learning to listen to the spaces between the notes as intently as to the notes themselves. The process, devoid of instant gratification, taught me a foreign grammar of patience. Months later, I could play a few short Chopin preludes. They were technically simple, emotionally raw, and filled with the tiny imperfections of a human touch. Yet, in their acoustic reality — the way the sound waves physically moved the air in the room — they felt more authentically alive than any streamed recording. I finally began to comprehend the silence the piano had guarded. It wasn’t emptiness; it was potential energy. It was the quiet, disciplined space where something beautiful could be built, note by imperfect note, a testament to a slower, more deliberate way of being that my hyper-efficient world had systematically trained me to overlook. The relic had transformed into the most profound of teachers. 24. How did the author initially perceive the piano after inheriting it? A. As a challenging but exciting new hobby to master. B. As a symbol of a bygone era and a personal failure. C. As a beautiful piece of furniture that enhanced the room. D. As a direct connection to her grandmother’s musical talent. 25. What initially motivated the author to touch the piano again? A. A desire to record a piece for social media. B. A combination of boredom and a sense of duty. C. The encouragement of a family member. D. The discovery of her grandmother’s old performance recordings. 26. What does the author imply was the key difference between her childhood and adult approach to practice? A. The adult practice focused on technical perfection, while childhood practice was for fun. B. The adult practice was goal-oriented for recitals, while childhood practice was aimless. C. The adult practice became an internal, mindful process, free from external performance goals. D. The adult practice involved more difficult pieces than her childhood lessons. 27. What is the main lesson the author learned from re-engaging with the piano? A. Digital technology is superior for music appreciation. B. Mastering a traditional skill is essential for personal identity. C. Patience and embracing imperfection can lead to deeper, more authentic experiences. D. Inherited objects are burdens that carry too much emotional weight. C The “urban heat island” (UHI) effect, a phenomenon where metropolitan areas experience significantly higher temperatures than their rural surroundings, is a formidable and intensifying challenge for cities worldwide. This thermal discrepancy, which can escalate to a staggering 3-4°C or more, is not merely a matter of discomfort; it acts as a pernicious multiplier of climate change impacts, driving up energy consumption, exacerbating public health crises, and destabilizing local ecosystems. The primary culprits are the fundamental alterations humans make to the landscape. Vast expanses of natural vegetation, which cool the air through shading and the process of evapotranspiration-where plants release water vapor-are supplanted by asphalt, concrete, and brick. These materials possess high thermal mass, aggressively absorbing solar radiation by day and slowly releasing it as heat throughout the night, effectively trapping cities in a thermal blanket that prevents normal nocturnal cooling. This foundational issue is critically compounded by anthropogenic waste heat, the byproduct of energy expended by vehicles, industrial facilities, and the very air conditioning systems deployed to combat the rising temperatures. The consequences of this amplified heat are systemic and severe. Surging demand for air conditioning during heatwaves places immense, often dangerous, strain on power grids, increasing the risk of blackouts precisely when cooling is most vital. This creates a vicious feedback loop: higher energy use generates more waste heat, which in turn raises ambient temperatures further. From a public health perspective, the UHI effect is particularly insidious because it often elevates nighttime temperatures most significantly. Since the human body relies on cooler nighttime periods for physiological recovery from daytime heat stress, the loss of this respite leads to a marked increase in heat-related morbidity and mortality, disproportionately affecting the elderly, the very young, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Mitigation strategies, therefore, must be as multi-faceted as the problem itself. Increasing urban greenery is the most direct countermeasure. This goes beyond mere parks; it includes integrating green roofs and walls on buildings, planting shade trees along streetscapes, and creating “pocket parks” in underutilized spaces. A complementary approach involves re-engineering the urban fabric itself through the use of “cool materials.” These innovative pavements and building surfaces are designed to have higher solar reflectance (albedo) and improved thermal emissivity, meaning they reflect more sunlight and release absorbed heat more readily than conventional materials. Cities like Los Angeles have experimented with coating streets in light-gray reflective sealant, with studies showing measurable surface temperature reductions. While technological and design solutions are crucial, experts like Dr. Michael Chen, an urban climatologist at the University of Toronto, caution that “we cannot simply engineer our way out of the heat island effect without also addressing the root cause: our patterns of energy consumption and urban sprawl.” Ultimately, combating the UHI effect is not just about cooling cities; it is a fundamental component of building urban resilience, improving public health outcomes, and creating more sustainable and livable environments for the future, requiring an integrated strategy of smart design, policy, and community engagement. 28. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The technological history of air conditioning. B. The causes, consequences, and mitigation strategies for urban heat islands. C. A comparison of architectural styles in different cities. D. The health benefits of urban gardening programs. 29. According to paragraph 1, how do materials like asphalt and concrete contribute to the UHI effect? A. They produce cold air that sinks into the ground. B. They absorb heat by day and release it slowly at night, disrupting normal cooling cycles. C. They directly absorb moisture from the air, making it drier and hotter. D. They block wind flows that would otherwise cool the city. 30. The author mentions the “vicious feedback loop” in paragraph 2 to illustrate that: A. Hotter weather naturally leads to more outdoor activities. B. Efforts to cool cities with air conditioning can unintentionally make the problem worse. C. Power grids are becoming more efficient every year. D. Public health warnings are effective at reducing energy use. 31. Which of the following would Dr. Michael Chen most likely consider a limited solution to the UHI effect? A. Planting thousands of new street trees across a metropolitan area. B. Mandating the use of cool, reflective materials on all new buildings. C. Launching a public education campaign about nighttime heat risks. D. Focusing only on reflective paints without changing high energy consumption patterns. D A groundbreaking discovery concealed beneath kilometers of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet — a vast, ancient landscape larger than Belgium, preserved in deep freeze for potentially 14 million years — is fundamentally reshaping our understanding of Earth’s climatic past and forcing a recalibration of models that predict its fragile future. Utilizing a sophisticated combination of ice-penetrating radar data from aircraft and gravitational anomaly measurements from satellites, an international scientific consortium has meticulously mapped a pre-glacial terrain of dramatic valleys, rugged peaks, and deep basins. This exquisitely preserved “fossil landscape” serves as a unique, frozen archive, offering an unprecedented glimpse into a distant epoch when Antarctica was a verdant, forested continent teeming with life, before the tectonic shift of continents and falling atmospheric carbon dioxide levels plunged it into an icy hibernation. The significance of this buried world is twofold, operating across both deep time and pressing contemporary urgency. Primarily, it acts as a crucial calibration tool for paleoclimatology. The intricate topography — carved by rivers that flowed under a temperate climate — provides an immutable record against which scientists can test and refine models of how the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, the largest on Earth, first nucleated, grew, and flowed. By analyzing the direction and depth of these ancient drainage systems, researchers can reconstruct ancient atmospheric patterns and precipitation levels, offering hard data on how Antarctica responded to past periods of global warming, which in turn informs the range of its potential responses to current anthropogenic climate change. Secondly, and with more immediate stakes, this hidden geology directly controls the present-day stability and future vulnerability of the ice sheet above it. The terrain is not a smooth, gradual slope seaward but is characterized by precipitous troughs and stabilizing ridges. Crucially, the data reveals that several of these deep subglacial valleys are aligned directly towards the present-day grounding lines of major glaciers. This configuration is akin to placing the ice sheet on a tilted surface lubricated with potential accelerants. If warming ocean currents intrude along these submerged valleys, they could enable a process called “basal melting” at an accelerated scale, efficiently eating away at the ice from below and potentially unleashing vast, previously constrained inland ice into the ocean. As glaciologist Dr. Elena Petrov notes, “This isn’t just a map of the past; it’s a map of potential future discharge pathways. The geology dictates the plumbing system for ice loss.” The methodology behind this discovery is a triumph of remote sensing and computational geophysics. Ice-penetrating radar signals, painstakingly collected over decades of aerial surveys, bounce off the bedrock to reveal its contours. These datasets are fused with satellite measurements of minute gravitational variations caused by the density difference between rock and the overlying ice. Interpreting this information requires complex inverse modeling, a computational process akin to performing a geological CT scan on a continent-scale patient. However, the technique has limitations; radar resolution decreases with ice depth and in areas of complex geology, leading to uncertainties in the finest-scale features of the map, a challenge future missions with more advanced sensors hope to address. This discovery unequivocally shifts the paradigm in ice sheet science. The bedrock is no longer a passive stage but an active player controlling the drama of ice loss. While the full implications for sea-level rise projections will take years to fully integrate into models, the find underscores the profound complexity of Earth’s cryosphere. It highlights that within the immense, silent desert of the Antarctic ice lies a hidden landscape holding powerful, and perhaps alarming, clues about the scale and trajectory of one of climate change’s most consequential effects: the incremental, yet unstoppable, rise of the global oceans that will redefine the world’s coastlines for centuries to come. 32. Why is the buried Antarctic landscape referred to as a “fossil”? A. Because it contains the preserved remains of prehistoric plants and animals. B. Because it retains the physical form of a much older environment, preserving its history. C. Because it is made of extremely old rock formations. D. Because it was discovered using techniques borrowed from paleontology. 33. According to Dr. Elena Petrov, what is the practical significance of mapping the subglacial valleys? A. It helps locate mineral resources for potential future mining. B. It identifies the most stable areas for building research stations. C. It reveals the geographic pathways that could channel and accelerate ice loss towards the ocean. D. It proves that Antarctica was once connected to other continents. 34. The author mentions the “limitations” of the radar technique in paragraph 4 primarily to: A. Criticize the scientific team for using outdated technology. B. Highlight the need for future research and more advanced data collection. C. Suggest that the discovered landscape might not actually exist. D. Argue that satellite data is superior to airborne radar. 35. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article? A. To advocate for increased funding for Antarctic tourism and exploration. B. To explain the technical process of ice-penetrating radar in simple terms. C. To report on a significant scientific discovery and elaborate on its profound implications for understanding climate change and sea-level rise. D. To warn that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet will collapse imminently. 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。 The Power of Negative Capability The poet John Keats coined the term “negative capability” to describe the capacity of being “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” ____36____ In an era that often equates quick answers with intelligence and decisiveness with strength, deliberately cultivating this comfort with the unresolved can be a surprising source of creativity and resilience. In creative endeavors, this capability is the essential soil from which original work grows. It is the mental state that allows a writer to dwell with a character whose motives are still unclear, a scientist to ponder anomalous data without immediately dismissing it, or an entrepreneur to sit with the ambiguity of an untested market. ____37____ The pressure to resolve the tension too quickly can collapse the delicate process of discovery. This concept also holds profound value in leadership and collaborative work. A leader possessing a high degree of negative capability can listen to conflicting, incomplete reports from their team without succumbing to the anxiety that demands an immediate, premature synthesis. ____38____ This creates a psychological safety that allows for the friction of diverse ideas to generate light rather than heat, reducing groupthink and surfacing more innovative solutions. On a personal, emotional level, it builds a crucial form of maturity. Life invariably presents us with stretches that cannot be neatly solved or fully understood — the fog of grief, the anxiety of a career transition, the complexities of a strained relationship. ____39____ It is the ability to say, “I don’t have the answer yet, and that’s okay,” and to find a way to inhabit that uncomfortable space without being paralyzed by it. How does one develop this muscle? It begins with small practices: observing thoughts without judgment during mindfulness, engaging with art that embraces ambiguity, or simply resisting the reflexive grab for the phone when a moment of boredom arises. ____40____ It is not passive surrender, but an active, disciplined patience — the strength to abide in the question until a deeper, more authentic answer gradually reveals itself. A. It is a resistance to the premature closure of complex questions. B. This patience allows for a richer, more nuanced picture to emerge before a decision is forced. C. Therefore, seeking immediate clarity should always be our primary goal. D. Negative capability provides a framework for navigating these ambiguous passages without false certainty. E. The modern world offers few opportunities to practice such tolerance. F. Keats contrasted this quality sharply with the relentless pursuit of logical answers. G. The goal is to become more comfortable with the process of not knowing. 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。 The philosophy club at our high school was an island of quiet conversation in a sea of athletic enthusiasm and frenetic artistic preparation. I joined, not out of any deep Socratic calling, but because it met in a warm room during the last period on Thursdays, and I had nowhere more compelling to be. Mr. Davies, our advisor, spoke with a calm that seemed to absorb the surrounding noise. He never told us what to think, but persistently, gently, guided us in how to think. One week, he presented a classic dilemma: a runaway trolley is headed for five people tied to a track. You can pull a lever, diverting it onto a side track where it will kill one person. Do you pull it? The room fractured. “It’s simple math-save five!” argued one side. “But you’re making yourself an active agent in killing the one!” countered another, their voice thick with ____41____. I sat, my own opinion a ship adrift, ____42____ by each new argument. Then Mr. Davies refined the scenario: “What if the single person on the side track is a child?” The ethical calculus, once seemingly clear, dissolved into a ____43____ of gut feeling and tortured logic. I left that day mentally drained, yet feeling a strange, electric ____44____ I hadn’t experienced in any other class. The questions had no answers, and that, I was starting to see, was precisely the ____45____. Week after week, we wrestled with the nature of justice, the illusion of free will, the problem of other minds. I began to perceive the world through a new ____46____. A headline wasn’t just news; it was a nest of unexamined premises. A disagreement with my father wasn’t just a clash of wills; it was a conflict of foundational ____47____. I learned to deconstruct my own assumptions, to build logical ____48____ that could withstand scrutiny, and, most painfully, to truly listen to perspectives that my instincts screamed to reject. This newfound habit of interrogation didn’t make me popular. At lunch, my tendency to respond to a friend’s strong opinion with “What leads you to that ____49____?” could be met with eye rolls. My social currency, once based on easy agreement, ____50____ . Yet, in its place, I found a different, sturdier ____51____ : a confidence born not of knowing the right answers, but of being able to ____52____ the right questions. I was no longer a passive vessel for information; I was an active, if confused, participant in a much larger conversation. On the final day, Mr. Davies gave each of us a smooth, river-worn stone. “Philosophy rarely provides ____53____,” he said. “Its gift is the unsettled mind, the good question that ____54____ complacency. Keep this. Let it remind you to stay ____55____.” I keep that stone on my desk. In a cacophonous world of instant takes and performative certainty, it is a quiet monument to doubt, to the weight of a thoughtful pause, and to the slow, enduring work of building a mind that can think for itself. 41. A. anger B. conviction C. hesitation D. humor 42. A. anchored B. lifted C. swayed D. confirmed 43. A. solution B. debate C. fog D. principle 44. A. fatigue B. clarity C. alienation D. vitality 45. A. point B. answer C. problem D. lesson 46. A. window B. lens C. mirror D. filter 47. A. facts B. values C. personalities D. experiences 48. A. bridges B. walls C. arguments D. models 49. A. conclusion B. feeling C. fact D. story 50. A. accumulated B. stabilized C. plummeted D. transformed 51. A. foundation B. doubt C. curiosity D. tool 52. A. answer B. avoid C. frame D. memorize 53. A. stones B. questions C. comforts D. truths 54. A. accepts B. seeks C. disrupts D. confirms 55. A. certain B. silent C. humble D. questioning 第二节(共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar, a complex and precise timekeeping system ____56____ (base) on the cycles of the moon, has for millennia governed agricultural rhythms and cultural celebrations across East Asia. In stark contrast to the Gregorian solar calendar, ____57____ defines the year by Earth’s orbit around the sun, a lunar month is demarcated by the complete cycle of lunar phases, lasting approximately 29.5 days. To reconcile this lunar cycle with the longer solar year and thus keep the calendar in ____58____ (synchronize) with the seasons — a necessity for farming societies — an entire intercalary or “leap” month ____59____ (insert) approximately every three years. ____60____ makes the Chinese calendar a brilliant lunisolar hybrid. Consequently, the dates of festivals like the Spring Festival vary between January and February on the Gregorian calendar, ____61____ (create) a dynamic relationship between the two systems. Each year within a repeating 12-year cycle ____62____ (assign) one of the zodiac animal signs, such as the Rat, Ox, or Tiger, collectively ____63____ (form) the Chinese zodiac. These symbols are deeply ____64____ (weave) into the cultural fabric, influencing traditions, folklore, and even perceptions of personality. While modern civic and international affairs operate primarily on the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar retains profound ____65____ (significant) for observing traditional holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival and for selecting auspicious dates for weddings or business openings, maintaining a vital link to cultural heritage. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，好友Tom用AI美化了你做的菜的照片，并直接发到班级群，还@你询问大家“这样改可爱吗?”。请你写一封邮件回复他，内容包括： 1.说明你的感受； 2.提出具体建议。 注意：1.写作词数应为80词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡对应位置作答。 Dear Tom, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In the bustling art studio of St. George’s High, Arthur and Emily were putting the final touches on their entry for the national “Heritage Reimagined” competition. Arthur, a sixth-former with a deep passion for Eastern culture, had spent months mastering the delicate art of Chinese ink wash painting, or Shui-mo. His piece, titled “The Spirit of the Pine,” was a masterpiece of subtlety, capturing the ancient tree’s resilience through varying shades of grey and black ink on absorbent Xuan paper. Emily, a coding prodigy with a flair for digital media, proposed a bold idea: to use AI to create an interactive layer that would respond to the viewer’s movements. They saw this as the perfect collaboration — melding Arthur’s reverence for tradition with Emily’s drive for innovation. They believed this fusion would not only preserve the cultural heritage but also make it accessible to a modern audience. For weeks, they worked in harmony. Arthur would paint, explaining the essence of Qi Yun (vital energy) in every brushstroke, while Emily took notes, designing algorithms to mimic the flow of energy. However, as the submission deadline loomed closer, the tension began to rise. Emily, worried that the static painting wouldn’t grab the judges’ attention in a room full of holograms, decided to take creative control. Without consulting Arthur, she ran his original painting through a neural style-transfer program, overlaying it with pulsating geometric patterns and loud electronic sound effects. When Arthur returned from a weekend trip to find the transformation, he was devastated. “Emily, what have you done?” Arthur whispered, his face pale as he stared at the screen. “You’ve destroyed the balance. The pine tree is supposed to be tranquil, not screaming with neon lights. This isn’t art; it’s a glitch.” Emily crossed her arms defensively. “Don’t you see, Arthur?
