They bring together athletes, fans and nations to witness unforgettable moments of competition and excellence. Here are four of the most influential sports tournaments that showcase both athletic achievement and cultural significance. Super Bowl The Super Bowl is the annual championship of the National Football League (NFL), where the best teams compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. It has become a major cultural event in the United States, attracting over 100 million television viewers. Beyond the game itself, the breathtaking halftime shows and creative commercials have become classic elements. The Super Bowl represents the peak of American football and continues to grow in global popularity. Wimbledon As the world’s oldest tennis tournament, Wimbledon is celebrated for its rich traditions and grass-court competitions. Held for two weeks every July in London, it requires players to wear all-white and maintains the custom of serving strawberries and cream. Stars like Roger Federer and Serena Williams have made history here. The tournament’s perfect combination of history, sportsmanship and world-class tennis makes it uniquely respected among global sports events. Cricket (板球) World Cup The ICC Cricket World Cup, held every four years, brings together the world’s best cricket nations in exciting matches. Countries like India, Australia, and England compete in this world-famous tournament, which draws billions of viewers, particularly from South Asia and Commonwealth nations. The event showcases cricket’s strategic depth and cultural importance, creating intense national pride and unforgettable moments that have defined the sport’s history. Tour de France The Tour de France is a physically demanding three-week cycling race covering over 3,500 kilometers across France and neighboring countries. Professional cyclists compete through mountains, valleys, and cities for the well-known yellow jersey (运动衫), awarded to the overall leader. The race tests athletes’ strength, teamwork, and strategy while attracting millions of viewers along its route. Its challenging course and amazing scenery have made it the most famous cycling event in the world. 1. What is special about the Super Bowl according to the text? A. It is held once every four years. B. It tests athletes’ strength in cycling races. C. It is a competition across France. D. It includes halftime shows and ads. 2. What can be learned about Wimbledon? A.

A reward given to the overall leader of the race. D. A piece of clothing for protecting cyclists in valleys. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了四个具有全球影响力且兼具文化意义的体育赛事。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Super Bowl部分“Beyond the game itself, the breathtaking halftime shows and creative commercials have become classic elements.(除了比赛本身，令人惊叹的中场表演和创意广告也成为了经典元素)”可知，超级碗的特别之处在于它包含中场表演和广告。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wimbledon部分“As the world’s oldest tennis tournament, Wimbledon is celebrated for its rich traditions and grass-court competitions. Held for two weeks every July in London, it requires players to wear all-white and maintains the custom of serving strawberries and cream.(作为世界上最古老的网球锦标赛，温布尔登以其丰富的传统和草地比赛而闻名。每年7月在伦敦举行两周，它要求选手穿全白色衣服，并保留提供草莓和奶油的习俗)”可知，温布尔登非常重视其长期以来的传统习俗。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tour de France部分“Professional cyclists compete through mountains, valleys, and cities for the well-known yellow jersey (运动衫), awarded to the overall leader.(职业自行车手在山地、山谷和城市间比赛，争夺著名的黄色领骑衫，该衫授予总成绩领先者)”可知，环法自行车赛中的“黄色领骑衫”代表给予比赛总成绩领先者的奖励。 B The history of writing is fundamental to human civilization, yet blind people lacked access to it until the 19th century. This changed because of Louis Braille, who created a groundbreaking tactile (触觉) writing system of raised dots called braille. Despite significant opposition, his invention eventually opened a new world of learning for the blind globally. Born in 1809 in the French village of Coupvray, Braille was blinded at age three in a terrible workshop accident. His parents, determined to support him despite widespread discrimination against the blind at the time, ensured he received an education. A local priest (牧师) taught him, and his intelligence earned him a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris. At the institute, Braille excelled in his studies and music. The catalyst for his invention came in 1821 with the introduction of “night writing”, a dot-based military communication code created by Charles Barbier. Recognizing its potential, Braille dedicated himself to improving this idea. By age 15, he had successfully developed his own streamlined system based on cells of six raised dots corresponding to letters of the alphabet. The students at his institute quickly adopted it for its simplicity and efficiency. However, the system faced strong resistance from the sighted establishment. After the supportive director was replaced, the new director, Pierre Armand Dufau, banned braille, burning books and punishing students who used it. Unshaken, Braille, who became a teacher at the institute, constantly advocated for his method. Akey moment came in 1844 when the school’s new director, persuaded of braille’s value, publicly demonstrated the system, finally giving Braille the recognition he deserved. Braille died in 1852, before his system gained worldwide adoption. It was universally accepted decades later, fundamentally changing blind education. Today, braille remains crucial, though its literacy rates face challenges from modern audio (音频) technology. Scientists emphasize that tactile reading is vital for cognitive (认知的) development, stimulating the brain’s visual processing centers. The story of Louis Braille is thus not just one of historical innovation but an ongoing fight to preserve a vital tool for independence and intelligence. 4. What do we know about Braille’s early life? A. His parents helped him get educated. B. He was born in a British village. C. He invented braille at age thirteen. D. A workshop accident made him deaf. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. A sudden accident. B. A final result. C. A key inspiration. D. A strong opposition. 6. What is Pierre-Armand Dufau’s attitude towards the braille writing system? A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Opposed. D. Neutral. 7. What does the text tell us about tactile reading? A. It is replaced by audio technology. B. It benefits blind people’s brains. C. It was for military communication. D. It was banned worldwide before 1852. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了盲文发明者路易斯·布莱叶的生平及盲文发展历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“His parents, determined to support him despite widespread discrimination against the blind at the time, ensured he received an education.(他的父母不顾当时对盲人的普遍歧视，决心支持他接受教育)”可知，布莱叶的父母帮助他接受教育。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The catalyst for his invention came in 1821 with the introduction of “night writing”, a dot-based military communication code created by Charles Barbier.(他发明的catalyst出现在1821年，当时引入了“夜间书写”，这是查尔斯·巴比尔发明的一种基于点的军事通信代码)”可知，1821年查尔斯·巴比尔发明的“夜间书写”这种军事通信代码激发了布莱叶的灵感，成为他发明的关键推动因素，因此“catalyst”在此处意为“关键的灵感”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“After the supportive director was replaced, the new director, Pierre Armand Dufau, banned braille, burning books and punishing students who used it.(在支持他的校长被替换后，新校长皮埃尔·阿曼德·杜福禁止使用盲文，焚烧书籍并惩罚使用盲文的学生)”可知，皮埃尔·阿曼德·杜福禁止使用盲文，焚烧书籍并惩罚使用盲文的学生，由此可推知，他对盲文写作系统持反对态度。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Scientists emphasize that tactile reading is vital for cognitive (认知的) development, stimulating the brain’s visual processing centers.(科学家强调，触觉阅读对认知发展至关重要，能刺激大脑的视觉处理中心)”可知，触觉阅读对盲人的大脑有益。 C Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career. Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift. Her primary role is as a visual merchandiser (营销) for Patagonia. Beyond this, she manages social media influencers for a shoe brand for several hours weekly, sells her paintings on Etsy, and helps out at local concerts. While the extra income helps her manage student loans and a high cost of living, she also values the variety, stating that doing different things every day keeps her engaged. Economic pressures are a primary driver. As sociologist Alexandrea Ravenelle explains, flat salaries and rising living costs are forcing people to seek supplementary income. Furthermore, workplace instability and a declining trust in a single employer to provide lasting job security push others towards side job apps like Uber or Grubhub. This approach can lead to a “portfolio career”, where individuals put together a mix of jobs that build diverse skills. For instance, Cusick’s side job helps keep her social media marketing skills current. Elaine Chen from Tufts University notes that instead of a linear career path, people are now combining side jobs based on their skills and interests to create multiple income sources. For those considering this path, experts offer several tips. First, follow a passion, as a side project will consume significant free time. Josie White, who works full-time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements. Second, be realistic about money; many part-time businesses require an initial investment and time before generating profit. White reinvested her early earnings back into skill development. Finally, understand the risks. While part-time work can provide immediate cash, Ravenelle cautions against over-reliance. The pay can be unstable, and some employers view part-time work negatively. Additionally, one must be careful of online opportunities that seem too good to be true, as many promoted“easy” business ideas are often scams (骗局). 8. What is “polyworking” according to the text? A. Having a single lifelong career. B. Taking multiple jobs for extra income. C. Selling paintings on Etsy platforms. D. Working full-time at Patagonia. 9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Provide a polyworking example. B. Define the concept of polyworking. C. Explain Etsy’s painting sales rules. D. Analyze Patagonia’s marketing role. 10. What can we infer about Josie White? A. She works part-time at a nonprofit. B. Her public speaking is always paid. C. Passion helps her side job succeed. D. She avoids initial investment in careers. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. Risks of Flexible Economy Apps B. Full-Time Pursuits: More Than Earnings C. Portfolio Careers and Skill Building D. Polyworking: A New Career Trend 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍在面临工资冻结、通货膨胀和裁员担忧的背景下，“多元工作”（polyworking）这一新兴职业趋势逐渐兴起，即人们通过从事多份工作来增加收入并构建财务安全网。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net.(面对工资冻结、持续的通货膨胀以及普遍的裁员担忧，越来越多的工人开始接受“多元工作”——从事多份工作以创造额外的收入来源并建立财务安全网)”可知，“多元工作”指的是从事多份工作以获取额外收入。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift.(29岁的凯特琳·库西克就是这种转变的一个例子)”表明，作者在这一段通过介绍凯特琳·库西克除了在巴塔哥尼亚担任视觉营销工作外，还从事管理鞋品牌社交媒体影响者、在Etsy卖画以及在当地音乐会帮忙等多项工作，为“多元工作”提供了一个具体的例子。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Josie White, who works full - time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements.(乔西·怀特在一家非营利组织全职工作，她开始就心理健康这一她热衷的主题进行无偿公开演讲，现在这开始带来有报酬的活动)”可知，乔西·怀特对心理健康主题的热情促使她从无偿演讲逐渐发展到有报酬的活动，即热情帮助她的副业取得成功。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career.(面对薪资停滞、通胀持续以及普遍存在的裁员恐慌，越来越多的职场人开始选择多份兼职并行的工作模式，通过从事多份工作拓宽收入渠道，搭建个人财务安全防线。 这一趋势打破了从一而终、终身就职于单一岗位的传统职业模式)”可知，文章开篇提出“多元工作”这一趋势，接着通过具体例子说明，分析其产生原因，介绍带来的“组合式职业”，并为考虑此路径的人提供建议，整体围绕“多元工作”展开，所以D选项“Polyworking: A New Career Trend(多元工作：一种新的职业趋势)”最适合作为文章标题。 D With the continuous growth in the world’s energy needs, integrating energy collection into building design has become a key research area. Although the price of solar power systems has dropped significantly, leading to their widespread adoption, experts are now looking for methods to enhance the use of solar energy by turning everyday building parts, such as windows, into energy-generating units. A group from Nanjing University in China has made encouraging progress in this area. The team developed a new method that employs a special layer applied to windows to collect solar power. Unlike current solar windows, which frequently use colored materials that can darken the glass, this new approach uses a clear material known as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). CLCs, commonly used in items like screens, have a spiral (螺旋) shape that enables them to reflect light. By putting several thin films of CLCs onto glass, the researchers created a“colorless and unidirectional solar concentrator”(CUSC). This CUSC coating guides incident sunlight to the edges of the window, where small, integrated solar cells turn it into electricity. In a real-world trial, a small model window with five CLC layers was able to power a small 10mW fan located outdoors. The potential for this technology is considerable; calculations indicate that a standard window fitted with CUSC could collect fifty times more solar energy. This makes it particularly suitable for tall buildings in sunny regions close to the equator. The production method requires that the glass be thoroughly cleaned with high-frequency sound waves to remove dirt before the coating is applied. Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed before it can be widely used. The research does not cover how well the coating resists bad weather conditions such as rain, ice, snow, or bird droppings. Furthermore, it is not yet known how routine window cleaning might affect the CUSC’s performance. Any additional layer could possibly reduce energy collection efficiency. Another point is the current policy in China, which now limits the building of extremely high structures — exactly the kind of buildings that could gain the most from this technology. 12. What is the core function of CUSC? A. To darken glass with colored materials. B. To capture light through window coating. C. To clean glass via high-frequency waves. D. To adjust glass temperature automatically. 13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the 10mW fan? A. Fans need little solar power. B. Strong light reflection works. C. The application of CLC layers. D. CUSC’s practical energy output. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. CUSC’s full adoption in urban buildings. B. China’s new policy on high-rise buildings. C. Ways to protect CUSC from bad weather. D. Issues affecting CUSC’s popularity. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new solar energy technology. B. To explain CLCs’ role in screen production. C. To analyze advantages of tall building design. D. To compare CUSC with current solar windows. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍南京大学研发新型窗户太阳能采集技术，介绍其原理、实测效果，同时指出推广落地仍面临多项现实难题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This CUSC coating guides incident sunlight to the edges of the window, where small, integrated solar cells turn it into electricity.(这种CUSC涂层将入射的阳光引导至窗户边缘，内置的小型太阳能电池再将其转化为电能)”可知，CUSC的核心功能是通过窗户涂层捕捉光线、收集太阳能。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In a real-world trial, a small model window with five CLC layers was able to power a small 10mW fan located outdoors.(在一次实地测试中，一块带有五层胆甾相液晶涂层的小型窗户模型能够为户外一台十毫瓦的小型风扇供电)”可知，作者举风扇供电的例子，是为了直观展示这项技术可以实际产出可用电能。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed before it can be widely used.(然而，在被广泛使用之前，仍有几项难题需要解决)”以及后文提到耐候性未知、日常清洁影响性能、高楼建设政策受限等问题可知，最后一段主要讲解阻碍这项技术普及应用的各类问题。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文围绕南京大学团队研发的新型窗户太阳能发电技术CUSC展开，介绍了它的原理、试验成果和待解决的问题，因此写作目的就是介绍这项新的太阳能技术。 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。 For the past five years, chef and author Samin Nosrat has been doing something that, for many can feel impossible.

The bright lights of the city illuminated (照亮) the night, but for struggling businessman John Carter, the world seemed incredibly hopeless. Just one year ago, John had big dreams. He had quit his job to start his own company, believing he could create something great. But things didn’t go as planned. His business had collapsed under financial pressure and he was drowning in debt. Now, he was wandering the streets aimlessly, feeling completely discouraged. As he waited at a traffic light, he noticed an old man walking slowly and looking around on the road. John was on the edge of ignoring the man and walking away when something inside stopped him. Taking a deep breath, he walked to the old man. “Excuse me, I found you seemed anxious. Do you need any help?” John asked. The old man looked at John. “I couldn’t find my way home,” the old man said and at the same time, he took out a card on which there was a phone number. Looking at the card, John realized the old man may have memory loss issues. Therefore, he decided to help the old man. He dialed the number and the old man’s son answered the phone. While waiting, John and the old man chatted. He told the old man what he had experienced. John felt relieved after their talk, maybe because he voiced his mental stress, though the old man couldn’t give him any advice. A few moments later, the old man’s son, Michael, arrived in a hurry, looking worried. When he saw his father safe and sound, he felt relieved. “Thank you so much,” he said, holding John’s hand tightly. “My dad has Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症). Sometimes he remembers my name, but he acts as if we just met from time to time. I’ve been looking for hours.” “Good man... You deserve luck,” the old man said before being driven away. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 John received a call from Michael unexpectedly the next day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ John felt lost in thought after hanging up the phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 John received a call from Michael unexpectedly the next day. Michael told John that his father had been talking about him since they got home. “My dad insisted that I find a way to help you. He said you were a good man in trouble and deserved a break. I run a small company and I think you have the talent and determination to succeed. Would you like to come and work for me?” John was shocked and speechless. He never expected such kindness from a stranger. “I... I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much. I would be honored to work for you,” he replied. John felt lost in thought after hanging up the phone. He realized that sometimes, in the darkest moments of our lives, a small act of kindness can change everything. The old man’s simple words of encouragement and Michael’s offer of a job had given him a new lease on life. He decided to take this opportunity and work hard to prove himself. With a newfound sense of hope and purpose, John walked out of his apartment and into the bright sunlight, ready to face the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了生意失败的John Carter在街头帮助一位迷路的患有阿尔茨海默症的老人，之后老人的儿子Michael意外地给John打电话提供工作机会的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“John第二天意外地接到了Michael的电话。”可知，第一段可描写Michael在电话里表达对John的感激，并告知父亲坚持要帮助他，还提供了工作机会。 ②由第二段首句内容“John挂断电话后陷入了沉思。”可知，第二段可描写John意识到善举的力量，决定抓住这个机会，努力工作，重新面对生活。 2. 续写线索：Michael打电话——表达感激——提供工作机会——John震惊并接受——John陷入沉思——意识到善举的力量——决定努力工作 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①改变：change/alter/transform ②决定：decide/determine/resolve ③面对：face/confront 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/stunned ②荣幸的：honored/privileged 【点睛】[高分句型1] Michael told John that his father had been talking about him since they got home.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句和从属连词since引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] He realized that sometimes, in the darkest moments of our lives, a small act of kindness can change everything.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间 120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

They bring together athletes, fans and nations to witness unforgettable moments of competition and excellence. Here are four of the most influential sports tournaments that showcase both athletic achievement and cultural significance. Super Bowl The Super Bowl is the annual championship of the National Football League (NFL), where the best teams compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. It has become a major cultural event in the United States, attracting over 100 million television viewers. Beyond the game itself, the breathtaking halftime shows and creative commercials have become classic elements. The Super Bowl represents the peak of American football and continues to grow in global popularity. Wimbledon As the world’s oldest tennis tournament, Wimbledon is celebrated for its rich traditions and grass-court competitions. Held for two weeks every July in London, it requires players to wear all-white and maintains the custom of serving strawberries and cream. Stars like Roger Federer and Serena Williams have made history here. The tournament’s perfect combination of history, sportsmanship and world-class tennis makes it uniquely respected among global sports events. Cricket (板球) World Cup The ICC Cricket World Cup, held every four years, brings together the world’s best cricket nations in exciting matches. Countries like India, Australia, and England compete in this world-famous tournament, which draws billions of viewers, particularly from South Asia and Commonwealth nations. The event showcases cricket’s strategic depth and cultural importance, creating intense national pride and unforgettable moments that have defined the sport’s history. Tour de France The Tour de France is a physically demanding three-week cycling race covering over 3,500 kilometers across France and neighboring countries. Professional cyclists compete through mountains, valleys, and cities for the well-known yellow jersey (运动衫), awarded to the overall leader. The race tests athletes’ strength, teamwork, and strategy while attracting millions of viewers along its route. Its challenging course and amazing scenery have made it the most famous cycling event in the world. 1. What is special about the Super Bowl according to the text? A. It is held once every four years. B. It tests athletes’ strength in cycling races. C. It is a competition across France. D. It includes halftime shows and ads. 2. What can be learned about Wimbledon? A.

What does the “yellow jersey” in the Tour de France stand for? A. A symbol for athletes who win the mountain stages. B. A tool to record the distance cyclists have covered. C. A reward given to the overall leader of the race. D. A piece of clothing for protecting cyclists in valleys. B The history of writing is fundamental to human civilization, yet blind people lacked access to it until the 19th century. This changed because of Louis Braille, who created a groundbreaking tactile (触觉) writing system of raised dots called braille. Despite significant opposition, his invention eventually opened a new world of learning for the blind globally. Born in 1809 in the French village of Coupvray, Braille was blinded at age three in a terrible workshop accident. His parents, determined to support him despite widespread discrimination against the blind at the time, ensured he received an education. A local priest (牧师) taught him, and his intelligence earned him a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris. At the institute, Braille excelled in his studies and music. The catalyst for his invention came in 1821 with the introduction of “night writing”, a dot-based military communication code created by Charles Barbier. Recognizing its potential, Braille dedicated himself to improving this idea. By age 15, he had successfully developed his own streamlined system based on cells of six raised dots corresponding to letters of the alphabet. The students at his institute quickly adopted it for its simplicity and efficiency. However, the system faced strong resistance from the sighted establishment. After the supportive director was replaced, the new director, Pierre Armand Dufau, banned braille, burning books and punishing students who used it. Unshaken, Braille, who became a teacher at the institute, constantly advocated for his method. Akey moment came in 1844 when the school’s new director, persuaded of braille’s value, publicly demonstrated the system, finally giving Braille the recognition he deserved. Braille died in 1852, before his system gained worldwide adoption. It was universally accepted decades later, fundamentally changing blind education. Today, braille remains crucial, though its literacy rates face challenges from modern audio (音频) technology. Scientists emphasize that tactile reading is vital for cognitive (认知的) development, stimulating the brain’s visual processing centers. The story of Louis Braille is thus not just one of historical innovation but an ongoing fight to preserve a vital tool for independence and intelligence. 4. What do we know about Braille’s early life? A. His parents helped him get educated. B. He was born in a British village. C. He invented braille at age thirteen. D. A workshop accident made him deaf. 5. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. A sudden accident. B. A final result. C. A key inspiration. D. A strong opposition. 6. What is Pierre-Armand Dufau’s attitude towards the braille writing system? A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Opposed. D. Neutral. 7. What does the text tell us about tactile reading? A. It is replaced by audio technology. B. It benefits blind people’s brains. C. It was for military communication. D. It was banned worldwide before 1852. C Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career. Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift. Her primary role is as a visual merchandiser (营销) for Patagonia. Beyond this, she manages social media influencers for a shoe brand for several hours weekly, sells her paintings on Etsy, and helps out at local concerts. While the extra income helps her manage student loans and a high cost of living, she also values the variety, stating that doing different things every day keeps her engaged. Economic pressures are a primary driver. As sociologist Alexandrea Ravenelle explains, flat salaries and rising living costs are forcing people to seek supplementary income. Furthermore, workplace instability and a declining trust in a single employer to provide lasting job security push others towards side job apps like Uber or Grubhub. This approach can lead to a “portfolio career”, where individuals put together a mix of jobs that build diverse skills. For instance, Cusick’s side job helps keep her social media marketing skills current. Elaine Chen from Tufts University notes that instead of a linear career path, people are now combining side jobs based on their skills and interests to create multiple income sources. For those considering this path, experts offer several tips. First, follow a passion, as a side project will consume significant free time. Josie White, who works full-time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements. Second, be realistic about money; many part-time businesses require an initial investment and time before generating profit. White reinvested her early earnings back into skill development. Finally, understand the risks. While part-time work can provide immediate cash, Ravenelle cautions against over-reliance. The pay can be unstable, and some employers view part-time work negatively. Additionally, one must be careful of online opportunities that seem too good to be true, as many promoted“easy” business ideas are often scams (骗局). 8. What is “polyworking” according to the text? A. Having a single lifelong career. B. Taking multiple jobs for extra income. C. Selling paintings on Etsy platforms. D. Working full-time at Patagonia. 9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Provide a polyworking example. B. Define the concept of polyworking. C. Explain Etsy’s painting sales rules. D. Analyze Patagonia’s marketing role. 10. What can we infer about Josie White? A. She works part-time at a nonprofit. B. Her public speaking is always paid. C. Passion helps her side job succeed. D. She avoids initial investment in careers. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. Risks of Flexible Economy Apps B. Full-Time Pursuits: More Than Earnings C. Portfolio Careers and Skill Building D. Polyworking: A New Career Trend D With the continuous growth in the world’s energy needs, integrating energy collection into building design has become a key research area. Although the price of solar power systems has dropped significantly, leading to their widespread adoption, experts are now looking for methods to enhance the use of solar energy by turning everyday building parts, such as windows, into energy-generating units. A group from Nanjing University in China has made encouraging progress in this area. The team developed a new method that employs a special layer applied to windows to collect solar power. Unlike current solar windows, which frequently use colored materials that can darken the glass, this new approach uses a clear material known as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). CLCs, commonly used in items like screens, have a spiral (螺旋) shape that enables them to reflect light. By putting several thin films of CLCs onto glass, the researchers created a“colorless and unidirectional solar concentrator”(CUSC). This CUSC coating guides incident sunlight to the edges of the window, where small, integrated solar cells turn it into electricity. In a real-world trial, a small model window with five CLC layers was able to power a small 10mW fan located outdoors. The potential for this technology is considerable; calculations indicate that a standard window fitted with CUSC could collect fifty times more solar energy. This makes it particularly suitable for tall buildings in sunny regions close to the equator. The production method requires that the glass be thoroughly cleaned with high-frequency sound waves to remove dirt before the coating is applied. Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed before it can be widely used. The research does not cover how well the coating resists bad weather conditions such as rain, ice, snow, or bird droppings. Furthermore, it is not yet known how routine window cleaning might affect the CUSC’s performance. Any additional layer could possibly reduce energy collection efficiency. Another point is the current policy in China, which now limits the building of extremely high structures — exactly the kind of buildings that could gain the most from this technology. 12. What is the core function of CUSC? A. To darken glass with colored materials. B. To capture light through window coating. C. To clean glass via high-frequency waves. D. To adjust glass temperature automatically. 13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the 10mW fan? A. Fans need little solar power. B. Strong light reflection works. C. The application of CLC layers. D. CUSC’s practical energy output. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. CUSC’s full adoption in urban buildings. B. China’s new policy on high-rise buildings. C. Ways to protect CUSC from bad weather. D. Issues affecting CUSC’s popularity. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new solar energy technology. B. To explain CLCs’ role in screen production. C. To analyze advantages of tall building design. D. To compare CUSC with current solar windows. 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。 For the past five years, chef and author Samin Nosrat has been doing something that, for many can feel impossible.

The bright lights of the city illuminated (照亮) the night, but for struggling businessman John Carter, the world seemed incredibly hopeless. Just one year ago, John had big dreams. He had quit his job to start his own company, believing he could create something great. But things didn’t go as planned. His business had collapsed under financial pressure and he was drowning in debt. Now, he was wandering the streets aimlessly, feeling completely discouraged. As he waited at a traffic light, he noticed an old man walking slowly and looking around on the road. John was on the edge of ignoring the man and walking away when something inside stopped him. Taking a deep breath, he walked to the old man. “Excuse me, I found you seemed anxious. Do you need any help?” John asked. The old man looked at John. “I couldn’t find my way home,” the old man said and at the same time, he took out a card on which there was a phone number. Looking at the card, John realized the old man may have memory loss issues. Therefore, he decided to help the old man. He dialed the number and the old man’s son answered the phone. While waiting, John and the old man chatted. He told the old man what he had experienced. John felt relieved after their talk, maybe because he voiced his mental stress, though the old man couldn’t give him any advice. A few moments later, the old man’s son, Michael, arrived in a hurry, looking worried. When he saw his father safe and sound, he felt relieved. “Thank you so much,” he said, holding John’s hand tightly. “My dad has Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症). Sometimes he remembers my name, but he acts as if we just met from time to time. I’ve been looking for hours.” “Good man... You deserve luck,” the old man said before being driven away. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 John received a call from Michael unexpectedly the next day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ John felt lost in thought after hanging up the phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
