It manages roads, bridges, traffic signals, bike lanes, and even the Staten Island Ferry. Part of its service includes operating off-street parking garages and lots across all five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. These municipal parking facilities accept quarters, dollar coins, credit cards, and the ParkNYC app. Most parking fields do not allow overnight parking, but some garages are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). Parking after hours may result in a summons (传讯出庭), and vehicles are left without security. Parking Rates (Effective October 1, 2024) Each of the municipal parking garages and lots has their own rate structures, rules, and regulations. Detailed information for some facilities are found below. Garage Hours First Hour Up to 2 Hours Up to 10 Hours 24-Hour Max Monthly Permit Delancey &Essex (Manhattan) Open 24/7 $16.00 $24.00 $40.00 $50.00 $600 Jerome-190th Street (Bronx) Open 24/7 $7.00 $10.00 $14.50 $19.50 $250 Bay Ridge (Brooklyn) 8 AM — 10 PM daily $4.00 $6.75 $12.50 $19.50 $275 Court Square (Queens) Open 24/7 $9.00 $14.00 $20.00 $24.00 $400 Courthouse (Staten Island) 8 AM — 8 PM daily $5.00 $8.00 $14.00 $20.00 $150 Parking Reservation System The Parking Reservation System (PRS) website allows the public to reserve parking spaces at municipal garages. Reservations open on the website five days before the first of the month at 10 am. All reservations, including monthly permits, are made for the upcoming month, on a first-come, first-served basis. Obtaining a reservation does not guarantee that a parking permit will be issued. In order to finalize your reservation, you must pay for the permit at the garage manager’s office no later than the first day of the permit month that you are applying for. 1．What service by NYC DOT is the text mainly about? A．Traffic safety. B．Off-street parking. C．City sightseeing. D．Public transport. 2．Which borough has the highest 12-hour maximum parking fee? A．Manhattan. B．Staten Island. C．Brooklyn. D．Bronx. 3．What should you do to ensure a parking permit? A．Make a reservation on the PRS website. B．Pay at the garage manager’s office in time. C．Use ParkNYC app to make a reservation. D．Find a garage that accepts monthly permits. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 【导语】主要介绍纽约市交通局管理的路外停车场服务，包含支付方式、停车收费标准及车位预约办理的相关规则。 1．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Part of its service includes operating off-street parking garages and lots across all five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.(其部分服务包括在五大行政区运营路外停车场与停车库：布朗克斯、布鲁克林、曼哈顿、皇后区及斯塔滕岛。)”可知，文章围绕纽约市交通局的路外停车服务展开介绍。 2．细节理解题。根据表格中各区域Up to 10 Hours收费：Delancey&Essex (Manhattan)为$40.00，Jerome-190th Street (Bronx)为$14.50，Bay Ridge (Brooklyn)为$12.50，Court Square (Queens)为$20.00，Courthouse (Staten Island)为$14.00 (10小时档可代表12小时内最高标准)，由此可知，Manhattan收费最高。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In order to finalize your reservation, you must pay for the permit at the garage manager’s office no later than the first day of the permit month that you are applying for.(为完成预约生效，你必须不迟于所申请许可月份的第一天，在停车场管理办公室缴纳停车许可费用。)”可知，要拿到停车许可需及时到停车场管理办公室缴费。 B The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc., a nonprofit that honors leaders who have overcome adversity and supports young people in furthering their education, announced that Eileen Collins, retired U. S. Air Force Colonel and Former Space Shuttle (航天飞机) Commander at NASA, will receive the famous Horatio Alger Award and become a lifetime member of the organization. Collins was born in Elmira, New York, in a household that faced financial hardship and instability. Despite these challenges, she developed an early fascination with aviation (航空) and space, and a dream of becoming a pilot. After earning an associate’s degree from Corning Community College, Collins earned her bachelor’s in mathematics and economics at Syracuse University, where she joined the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps during her junior year. She continued her education with master’s degrees from Stanford University and Webster University. Collins was the first woman to earn pilot’s licenses at Vance Air Force Base. Her distinguished career with NASA included commanding the first space shuttle mission following the Columbia disaster. Over the course of her career, she accumulated (积累) 6,751 hours in 30 different types of aircraft and spent 872 hours in space. “As a child, I dreamed of becoming a great explorer, admiring the pilots and astronauts who came before me. Those dreams, which once seemed impossible, taught me the value of determination, and the courage to keep moving forward in the face of hardship,” said Eileen Collins. Beyond her groundbreaking career, Collins is deeply committed to charity and mentorship (辅导). She served on the Astronaut Memorial Foundation Board of Directors for nine years and remains on its Board of Advisors. She also supports the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and has used her career and experience to be a positive example for women entering male-dominated fields. As the first woman to pilot and command a NASA Space Shuttle, Eileen Collins showed what is possible through education, determination, and hard work. She became a role model for young people seeking not only careers in aviation, but the courage to chart their own path. 4．What was special about Collins’s educational path? A．It was gradual and determined. B．It followed a fast-track route. C．It lacked higher academic degrees. D．It was entirely military-focused. 5．What can we learn about Collins from paragraph 4? A．She experienced the Columbia disaster. B．She was the first one to fly a space shuttle. C．She began her astronaut career quite early. D．She carried out a challenging assignment. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Collins? A．Brave and cautious. B．Grateful and reflective. C．Devoted and generous. D．Ambitious and competitive. 7．How is the text developed? A．Fact-Interpretation-Projection B．Background-Achievement-Impact C．Phenomenon-Analysis-Summary D．Introduction-Reason-Significance 【答案】4．A 5．D 6．C 7．B 【导语】文章主要介绍艾琳·柯林斯将获得霍雷肖·阿尔杰奖，讲述其艰难的成长背景、教育经历、航天成就及对他人的影响。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段“After earning an associate’s degree from Corning Community College, Collins earned her bachelor’s in mathematics and economics at Syracuse University, where she joined the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps during her junior year. She continued her education with master’s degrees from Stanford University and Webster University. Collins was the first woman to earn pilot’s licenses at Vance Air Force Base.(在康宁社区学院获得副学士学位后，柯林斯在雪城大学获得了数学和经济学学士学位，大三期间她加入了空军预备役军官训练团。她继续深造，获得了斯坦福大学和韦伯斯特大学的硕士学位。柯林斯是万斯空军基地第一位获得飞行员执照的女性)”可知，柯林斯的教育之路是循序渐进且坚定的。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段“Her distinguished career with NASA included commanding the first space shuttle mission following the Columbia disaster. (她在美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的杰出职业生涯包括指挥哥伦比亚号灾难后的第一次航天飞机任务)”可知，柯林斯执行了一项具有挑战性的任务（哥伦比亚号灾难后的第一次航天飞机任务）。 6．推理判断题。根据第六段“Beyond her groundbreaking career, Collins is deeply committed to charity and mentorship (辅导). She served on the Astronaut Memorial Foundation Board of Directors for nine years and remains on its Board of Advisors. She also supports the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and has used her career and experience to be a positive example for women entering male-dominated fields.(除了开创性的职业生涯外，柯林斯还深深致力于慈善事业和辅导工作。她在宇航员纪念基金会董事会任职九年，目前仍担任其顾问委员会成员。她还支持宇航员奖学金基金会，并利用自己的职业生涯和经验，为进入男性主导领域的女性树立了积极的榜样)”可知，柯林斯致力于慈善事业和辅导工作，慷慨且有奉献精神。 7．推理判断题。文章第一段介绍柯林斯将获得霍雷肖·阿尔杰奖及她的身份（背景）；第二至四段讲述她的成长背景、教育经历和航天成就；第五至六段讲述她的感悟及对他人、社会的影响。因此文章是按照“背景—成就—影响”的顺序展开的。 C A recent study has revealed an uplifting connection between grandparents and their cognitive (认知) well-being. Lead researcher Chereches expressed the interest surrounding this vital question: “Many grandparents provide regular care for their grandchildren, but an open question is whether caregiving for grandchildren may also benefit grandparents themselves.” This research aimed to explore the potential health advantages for grandparents who dedicate time to their grandchildren, particularly in decelerating cognitive decline. Chereches and her team analyzed data from 2,887 grandparents in England. Participants answered survey questions and underwent cognitive assessments three times from 2016 to 2022. The survey inquired about the frequency of their caregiving — whether they were spending nights with grandchildren, caring for them during illness, engaging in play, assisting with homework, or even preparing meals. The results were heartening! Grandparents who actively participated in childcare, regardless of how often or in what capacity, performed better in memory and verbal fluency tests compared to those who did not engage in caregiving. Excitingly, grandmothers who provided care displayed a slower decline in cognitive performance throughout the study. “What stood out most to us was that being a caregiving grandparent seemed to matter more for cognitive functioning than how often grandparents provided care or what exactly they did with their grandchildren,” Chereches noted. This suggests that the joy and experience of being involved in caregiving may be more beneficial than the specifics of the activities undertaken. Age UK has highlighted the immense benefits of this so-called “gran-nannying,” which keeps older adults mentally and physically active while combating loneliness — as long as the caregiving experience remains enjoyable and fulfilling. This research illuminates the beautiful cycle of care and connection that exists within families, proving that the act of being a grandparent not only enriches the lives of grandchildren but also enhances the lives of grandparents, fostering happiness and vitality in their golden years. Let’s share this wonderful news, encouraging families to embrace the joys of grandparenting! 8．Which can replace the underlined word “decelerating” in paragraph 1? A．Facilitating. B．Slowing. C．Examining. D．Anticipating. 9．How did the study gather information from the grandparents? A．By conducting single interviews. B．By directly observing their caregiving. C．By analysing long-term health records. D．By surveying and assessing repeatedly. 10．What does the author want to emphasize in paragraph 4? A．Engagement matters more than details. B．Frequency has a decisive role. C．Specific activities make a difference. D．Emotional joy is more lasting. 11．What could be a suitable title for the text? A．Grandparents: Best Caregivers for Kids B．How to Improve Grandparents’ Well-being C．Childcare Keeps Grandparents’ Minds Sharp D．The Rising Trend of Grandparent Caregiving 【答案】8．B 9．D 10．A 11．C 【导语】文章主要介绍一项研究发现祖父母照顾孙辈对自身认知健康有益，能减缓认知衰退，并阐述研究过程、结果及意义。 8．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“This research aimed to explore the potential health advantages for grandparents who dedicate time to their grandchildren, particularly in decelerating cognitive decline.(这项研究旨在探索那些花时间陪伴孙辈的祖父母可能获得的潜在健康益处，尤其是在decelerating认知衰退方面)”可知，研究探索祖父母陪伴孙辈的健康益处，结合认知健康相关语境，此处指减缓认知衰退。由此猜测decelerating意为“减缓”，与slowing同义。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“Chereches and her team analyzed data from 2,887 grandparents in England. Participants answered survey questions and underwent cognitive assessments three times from 2016 to 2022.(Chereches和她的团队分析了来自英国2887名祖父母的数据。从2016年到2022年，参与者回答了调查问题，并接受了三次认知评估)”可知，研究通过反复调查和评估的方式从祖父母那里收集信息。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“What stood out most to us was that being a caregiving grandparent seemed to matter more for cognitive functioning than how often grandparents provided care or what exactly they did with their grandchildren,” Chereches noted. This suggests that the joy and experience of being involved in caregiving may be more beneficial than the specifics of the activities undertaken.(Chereches指出：“最让我们印象深刻的是，成为照顾孙辈的祖父母似乎比照顾孙辈的频率或具体做什么对认知功能更重要。”这表明，参与照顾孙辈的快乐和经历可能比所进行活动的细节更有益)”可知，作者在第四段强调参与照顾这件事本身比具体细节更重要。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“This research aimed to explore the potential health advantages for grandparents who dedicate time to their grandchildren, particularly in decelerating cognitive decline.(这项研究旨在探索那些花时间陪伴孙辈的祖父母可能获得的潜在健康益处，尤其是在减缓认知衰退方面)”可知，文章围绕一项研究展开，核心是祖父母照顾孙辈对自身认知健康有益，能减缓认知衰退、保持思维敏捷。C项“照顾孩子让祖父母思维敏捷”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 D In a world where digital devices are everywhere, many teachers see: handwriting supports thinking and literacy (读写能力), especially from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It is believed that forming letters by hand strengthens memory. This makes sense because handwriting activates various areas of the brain by combining sight, sound, and physical movement. When children form a letter, they are involved in a dynamic process that solidifies its identity in their minds. This integration of the hand and eye is key to remembering letters. When letter formation becomes automatic, a child’s brain is freed for higher-level work. Instead of struggling with strokes (笔画), children can focus on sentences, ideas, and organization, which is where fluent writing begins. The advantage can extend well beyond childhood. Research on college students suggests that handwritten notes are better remembered than typed ones, likely because handwriting forces the brain to process and summarize information rather than just copying it word for word. Effective instruction should be clear and structured: straightforward modeling, guided practice, and immediate feedback. Handwriting also works best when it is part of everyday learning. Students can write numbers in math and record vocabulary in social studies. One common problem is pushing students into writing before they’re in the developmental stage. For younger learners, a proper approach means starting with motor activities that strengthen the shoulder and core, followed by fine motor practice using tools like clay, sand or chalk. These activities prepare the hand and brain for writing long before a pencil ever touches paper. For students with learning difficulties, handwriting can be particularly helpful. Cursive (连笔), with its connected strokes, provides a pattern that helps children struggling with reading to process words as whole units rather than a series of disconnected letters, which are harder to remember. For those with writing difficulties, the continuous motion of cursive can ease the demands of repeatedly lifting and placing the pencil, making writing feel less separated. The sense of achievement gained from mastering this skill can be transformative. 12．Which aspect of handwriting helps strengthen children’s memory for letters? A．The slow mental process. B．Multi-sensory engagement. C．The focus on letter identity. D．Regular practice of writing. 13．Why is research on college students mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To compare their habits with children’s. B．To advocate handwritten notes in college. C．To highlight their academic performance. D．To show universal benefits of handwriting. 14．What is suggested about handwriting instruction? A．It should be developmentally appropriate. B．It should support self-paced writing. C．It should start with paper-and-pencil tasks. D．It should be put first in core subjects. 15．How does cursive benefit students with reading difficulties? A．By creating a steady pattern. B．By connecting different units. C．By reducing the writing stress. D．By promoting overall recognition. 【答案】12．B 13．D 14．A 15．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。在数字时代，手写能激活大脑、强化记忆、提升思考与读写能力。科学书写教学需契合成长规律，连笔字体还能帮扶读写困难学生。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段“This makes sense because handwriting activates various areas of the brain by combining sight, sound, and physical movement.(这是有道理的，因为书写能够通过将视觉、听觉和身体动作相结合的方式激活大脑的多个区域)”可知，写中的多感官参与有助于增强孩子们对字母的记忆力。故选B。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“The advantage can extend well beyond childhood. Research on college students suggests that handwritten notes are better remembered than typed ones, likely because handwriting forces the brain to process and summarize information rather than just copying it word for word.(这种优势甚至可能持续到成年时期。对大学生的研究表明，手写笔记比打字的笔记更容易被记住，这可能是因为手写会促使大脑对信息进行处理和总结，而不是只是逐字地复制)”可知，在第三段中提到了对大学生的研究是为了展示手写具有普遍的益处。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据第四段“One common problem is pushing students into writing before they’re in the developmental stage.(一个常见的问题是在学生还未达到发展阶段时就要求他们进行写作练习)”可知，书写教学应该符合儿童的年龄发展特点。故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Cursive (连笔), with its connected strokes, provides a pattern that helps children struggling with reading to process words as whole units rather than a series of disconnected letters, which are harder to remember.(连笔因其笔画相连的特点，能形成一种模式，帮助那些在阅读方面遇到困难的孩子将单词视为一个整体来理解，而不是一个个孤立的字母，因为后者更难记忆)”可知，连笔通过促进整体认读能力的提升对于有阅读障碍的学生有益处。故选D。 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。 At 5 a.m., social media fills with proof that the early risers have already won the day. Cold bathing. Journals. Sunrise runs. Productivity experts insist this is the routine that separates high performers from everyone else. 16 But the science tells a more complicated story. For many people, a 5 am routine conflicts with their biology and can lower both health and productivity. Much depends on your individual biological rhythm, or “chronotype”. 17 Morning types tend to report better academic outcomes. Evening types show higher rates of burnout and are more likely to report poorer mental and physical health. A common belief is that adopting an early routine will deliver the same benefits seen in natural morning types. However, chronotypes are not easily changed. 18 Trying to reset your natural clock abruptly can lead to tiredness, poor concentration and even sleep disorders. The key point is: early rising itself does not create success. People tend to perform best when their daily schedules are in line with their biological rhythms. Changing chronotype is difficult, but small adjustments may help. Instead of waking earlier straight away, try going to bed slightly earlier, including at weekends. Stick to this gentle routine. 19 Rather than forcing early routines, the more useful question is how to identify your own rhythm and work with it. 20 The real productivity advantage lies not in waking earlier, but in designing routines that match how the brain and body actually function. A．They are shaped by genetics and natural rhythm. B．Studies often find differences between chronotypes. C．The message is simple: wake earlier, perform better. D．Studies suggest that morning types have an advantage in their careers. E．You will soon wake up at 5 am and follow the high performers’ routine. F．Your body will slowly adapt and start shifting toward an earlier rhythm. G．This means skipping blind “early bird” routines and focusing on your own needs. 【答案】16．C 17．B 18．A 19．F 20．G 【导语】主要说明了早起并非人人适用，作息受生物节律影响。强行五点早起有损健康与效率，不必盲从，应顺应自身作息小幅调整，匹配身心节奏才更高效。 16．根据上文“Productivity experts insist this is the routine that separates high performers from everyone else.(生产力专家坚信，这种常规做法是区分出高绩效者与其他人的关键所在)”以及后文“But the science tells a more complicated story. For many people, a 5 am routine conflicts with their biology and can lower both health and productivity. Much depends on your individual biological rhythm, or “chronotype”.(但科学给出的结论却更为复杂。对许多人来说，早上 5 点的作息时间会与他们的生理节律相冲突，从而降低健康水平和工作效率。这很大程度上取决于个人的生理节律，即所谓的“生物钟类型”)”可知，上文效率专家提出“早起区分高成就者和普通人”的观点，空后转折说科学结论更复杂。C选项“核心信息很简单：起得更早，表现更好”承接专家的观点，衔接自然。 17．根据后文“Morning types tend to report better academic outcomes. Evening types show higher rates of burnout and are more likely to report poorer mental and physical health.(早起的人往往在学业上表现更出色。夜猫子群体出现职业倦怠的情况更为普遍，而且他们也更常反映自身存在较差的心理和身体健康状况)”可知，下文分别介绍了早起型、晚起型两种时间类型（chronotype）人群的不同表现，B选项“研究常发现不同时间类型之间存在差异”总领下文的内容，符合逻辑。 18．根据上文“A common belief is that adopting an early routine will deliver the same benefits seen in natural morning types. However, chronotypes are not easily changed.(一种普遍的看法是，养成早起的作息习惯能够带来与天生习惯早起的人所拥有的相同效果。然而，生物钟类型是很难改变的)”以及后文“Trying to reset your natural clock abruptly can lead to tiredness, poor concentration and even sleep disorders. The key point is: early rising itself does not create success. People tend to perform best when their daily schedules are in line with their biological rhythms.(突然试图调整人体的自然生物钟可能会导致疲劳、注意力不集中以及睡眠障碍等问题。关键在于：早起本身并不能带来成功。人们在日常作息与自身生物节律相契合时往往表现最佳)”可知，上文提到“时间类型很难被改变”，A选项“它们由基因和自然节律塑造”解释了时间类型难以改变的原因，承接上文后，引出下文“强行改变生物钟的危害”，逻辑通顺。 19．根据上文“Changing chronotype is difficult, but small adjustments may help. Instead of waking earlier straight away, try going to bed slightly earlier, including at weekends. Stick to this gentle routine.(改变生物钟并非易事，但一些小的调整或许能有所帮助。不要一开始就立刻早起，而是试着稍微提前上床睡觉，包括在周末也是如此。坚持这种温和的作息习惯即可)”可知，上文介绍了调整作息的温和方法：逐步提前入睡、周末也保持规律，F选项“你的身体会慢慢适应，逐步向更早的节律调整”承接上文的温和调整方法，衔接合理。 20．根据上文“Rather than forcing early routines, the more useful question is how to identify your own rhythm and work with it.(与其强行设定过早的日常安排，不如思考一个更有意义的问题：如何找到自己的节奏，并顺应它来进行工作)”以及后文“The real productivity advantage lies not in waking earlier, but in designing routines that match how the brain and body actually function.(真正的生产力优势并不在于能更早醒来，而在于能够制定出与大脑和身体实际运作方式相匹配的日常安排)”可知，上文提出核心观点“不需要强行早起，要找到顺应自己的节律”，G选项“这意味着放弃盲目的‘早起’惯例，关注自身需求”承接上文观点，引出下文“真正的效率来自匹配身体的作息”的总结，正确。 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the age of 28, Gillian Kline was diagnosed with cancer.

A sketchbook (素描簿) lay forgotten beneath a chair, its pages slightly fanned out by the gentle wind. Chen picked it up carefully, and felt a sudden wave of sympathy. Someone must be anxiously searching for this, he thought. These drawings represent hours of creative effort and observation. Back at his office, Chen opened the sketchbook with gentle hands. The pages revealed a remarkable journey: detailed pencil studies of sculptures, quick watercolor impressions of sunlight and so on. Yet nowhere in the book could Chen find a name, phone number, or any contact information. Determined to reunite the sketchbook with its creator, Chen photographed several standout pages and posted them on the museum’s social media accounts, describing where the book had been discovered. The local community responded enthusiastically, sharing the post thousands of times. However, after a few days of widespread circulation, no one had come forward to claim the work. Chen began to worry that the artist might be a tourist who had already returned home, or perhaps a student who had given up hope and started a new one. Just as Chen prepared to create a physical display in the museum lobby (大厅), an email arrived in his inbox. The subject line read: “You found my grandmother’s sketches.” The sender, a young woman named Lin Yue, explained that her seventy-year-old grandmother had visited the museum the previous week from a neighboring province. The elderly woman, who had taken up drawing in retirement, had been overwhelmed by the loss. Lin described specific sketches that matched the contents of the sketchbook perfectly. They arranged to meet in the museum lobby three days later. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 On that day, Chen waited in the museum lobby as promised. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chen picked up his phone to update the museum’s social media page. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On that day, Chen waited in the museum lobby as promised. Soon, Lin Yue walked in with an elderly woman, whose face lit up at the sight of the sketchbook. ‌“That’s mine!” she said, voice trembling. She flipped to a sketch of the museum’s central sculpture, recalling how she’d sat for two hours, adjusting her glasses to capture its curves. Chen handed over the book gently, watching her fingers trace the lines with familiar warmth. Lin Yue explained her grandma had cried for days over the loss, and they’d nearly given up hope until she saw the post. Chen picked up his phone to update the museum’s social media page. He posted a photo of the grandmother smiling with her sketchbook, writing: ‌“Lost art found, and a heart made whole.” He mentioned the elderly artist’s retirement hobby and her joy at being reunited with her work. Within minutes, comments flooded in — users praised the kindness, shared their own small joys of recovery, and marveled at the power of community. Chen smiled, knowing this little story had turned a lost book into a reminder of how care can bridge distances and warm hearts. 【导语】本文以丢失的素描簿为线索展开，讲述博物馆图书管理员陈威捡到一本满是精美画作的素描簿，多方寻找失主无果时，收到年轻女孩林悦的邮件，得知是她退休后重拾绘画的奶奶遗失的，二人约定三天后在博物馆大厅见面。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天，陈威如约在博物馆大厅等候。”可知，第一段可描写林悦和奶奶到来后，奶奶认出素描簿的激动模样，以及林悦讲述奶奶因丢失素描簿的难过心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“陈威拿起手机更新博物馆的社交媒体页面。”可知，第二段可描写陈威发布失物找回的暖心故事，引发网友的积极反响，传递善意的力量。 2. 续写线索：等候失主——祖孙到来——奶奶认回素描簿——发布暖心故事——网友点赞评论 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①回忆起：recall/remember/recollect ②递：hand over/pass ③放弃：give up/abandon 情绪类 ①颤抖：tremble/quiver ②喜悦：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] She flipped to a sketch of the museum’s central sculpture, recalling how she’d sat for two hours, adjusting her glasses to capture its curves.(运用了how引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] Chen handed over the book gently, watching her fingers trace the lines with familiar warmth.(运用了现在分词watching作伴随状语和) 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 2025-2026学年高二下学期5月第三次月考 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 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 The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) works to ensure safe, fair, and sustainable movement for all New Yorkers and millions of visitors to get around the city. It manages roads, bridges, traffic signals, bike lanes, and even the Staten Island Ferry. Part of its service includes operating off-street parking garages and lots across all five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. These municipal parking facilities accept quarters, dollar coins, credit cards, and the ParkNYC app. Most parking fields do not allow overnight parking, but some garages are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). Parking after hours may result in a summons (传讯出庭), and vehicles are left without security.

B The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc., a nonprofit that honors leaders who have overcome adversity and supports young people in furthering their education, announced that Eileen Collins, retired U. S. Air Force Colonel and Former Space Shuttle (航天飞机) Commander at NASA, will receive the famous Horatio Alger Award and become a lifetime member of the organization. Collins was born in Elmira, New York, in a household that faced financial hardship and instability. Despite these challenges, she developed an early fascination with aviation (航空) and space, and a dream of becoming a pilot. After earning an associate’s degree from Corning Community College, Collins earned her bachelor’s in mathematics and economics at Syracuse University, where she joined the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps during her junior year. She continued her education with master’s degrees from Stanford University and Webster University. Collins was the first woman to earn pilot’s licenses at Vance Air Force Base. Her distinguished career with NASA included commanding the first space shuttle mission following the Columbia disaster. Over the course of her career, she accumulated (积累) 6,751 hours in 30 different types of aircraft and spent 872 hours in space. “As a child, I dreamed of becoming a great explorer, admiring the pilots and astronauts who came before me. Those dreams, which once seemed impossible, taught me the value of determination, and the courage to keep moving forward in the face of hardship,” said Eileen Collins. Beyond her groundbreaking career, Collins is deeply committed to charity and mentorship (辅导). She served on the Astronaut Memorial Foundation Board of Directors for nine years and remains on its Board of Advisors. She also supports the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and has used her career and experience to be a positive example for women entering male-dominated fields. As the first woman to pilot and command a NASA Space Shuttle, Eileen Collins showed what is possible through education, determination, and hard work. She became a role model for young people seeking not only careers in aviation, but the courage to chart their own path. 4．What was special about Collins’s educational path? A．It was gradual and determined. B．It followed a fast-track route. C．It lacked higher academic degrees. D．It was entirely military-focused. 5．What can we learn about Collins from paragraph 4? A．She experienced the Columbia disaster. B．She was the first one to fly a space shuttle. C．She began her astronaut career quite early. D．She carried out a challenging assignment. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Collins? A．Brave and cautious. B．Grateful and reflective. C．Devoted and generous. D．Ambitious and competitive. 7．How is the text developed? A．Fact-Interpretation-Projection B．Background-Achievement-Impact C．Phenomenon-Analysis-Summary D．Introduction-Reason-Significance C A recent study has revealed an uplifting connection between grandparents and their cognitive (认知) well-being. Lead researcher Chereches expressed the interest surrounding this vital question: “Many grandparents provide regular care for their grandchildren, but an open question is whether caregiving for grandchildren may also benefit grandparents themselves.” This research aimed to explore the potential health advantages for grandparents who dedicate time to their grandchildren, particularly in decelerating cognitive decline. Chereches and her team analyzed data from 2,887 grandparents in England. Participants answered survey questions and underwent cognitive assessments three times from 2016 to 2022. The survey inquired about the frequency of their caregiving — whether they were spending nights with grandchildren, caring for them during illness, engaging in play, assisting with homework, or even preparing meals. The results were heartening! Grandparents who actively participated in childcare, regardless of how often or in what capacity, performed better in memory and verbal fluency tests compared to those who did not engage in caregiving. Excitingly, grandmothers who provided care displayed a slower decline in cognitive performance throughout the study. “What stood out most to us was that being a caregiving grandparent seemed to matter more for cognitive functioning than how often grandparents provided care or what exactly they did with their grandchildren,” Chereches noted. This suggests that the joy and experience of being involved in caregiving may be more beneficial than the specifics of the activities undertaken. Age UK has highlighted the immense benefits of this so-called “gran-nannying,” which keeps older adults mentally and physically active while combating loneliness — as long as the caregiving experience remains enjoyable and fulfilling. This research illuminates the beautiful cycle of care and connection that exists within families, proving that the act of being a grandparent not only enriches the lives of grandchildren but also enhances the lives of grandparents, fostering happiness and vitality in their golden years. Let’s share this wonderful news, encouraging families to embrace the joys of grandparenting! 8．Which can replace the underlined word “decelerating” in paragraph 1? A．Facilitating. B．Slowing. C．Examining. D．Anticipating. 9．How did the study gather information from the grandparents? A．By conducting single interviews. B．By directly observing their caregiving. C．By analysing long-term health records. D．By surveying and assessing repeatedly. 10．What does the author want to emphasize in paragraph 4? A．Engagement matters more than details. B．Frequency has a decisive role. C．Specific activities make a difference. D．Emotional joy is more lasting. 11．What could be a suitable title for the text? A．Grandparents: Best Caregivers for Kids B．How to Improve Grandparents’ Well-being C．Childcare Keeps Grandparents’ Minds Sharp D．The Rising Trend of Grandparent Caregiving D In a world where digital devices are everywhere, many teachers see: handwriting supports thinking and literacy (读写能力), especially from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It is believed that forming letters by hand strengthens memory. This makes sense because handwriting activates various areas of the brain by combining sight, sound, and physical movement. When children form a letter, they are involved in a dynamic process that solidifies its identity in their minds. This integration of the hand and eye is key to remembering letters. When letter formation becomes automatic, a child’s brain is freed for higher-level work. Instead of struggling with strokes (笔画), children can focus on sentences, ideas, and organization, which is where fluent writing begins. The advantage can extend well beyond childhood. Research on college students suggests that handwritten notes are better remembered than typed ones, likely because handwriting forces the brain to process and summarize information rather than just copying it word for word. Effective instruction should be clear and structured: straightforward modeling, guided practice, and immediate feedback. Handwriting also works best when it is part of everyday learning. Students can write numbers in math and record vocabulary in social studies. One common problem is pushing students into writing before they’re in the developmental stage. For younger learners, a proper approach means starting with motor activities that strengthen the shoulder and core, followed by fine motor practice using tools like clay, sand or chalk. These activities prepare the hand and brain for writing long before a pencil ever touches paper. For students with learning difficulties, handwriting can be particularly helpful. Cursive (连笔), with its connected strokes, provides a pattern that helps children struggling with reading to process words as whole units rather than a series of disconnected letters, which are harder to remember. For those with writing difficulties, the continuous motion of cursive can ease the demands of repeatedly lifting and placing the pencil, making writing feel less separated. The sense of achievement gained from mastering this skill can be transformative. 12．Which aspect of handwriting helps strengthen children’s memory for letters? A．The slow mental process. B．Multi-sensory engagement. C．The focus on letter identity. D．Regular practice of writing. 13．Why is research on college students mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To compare their habits with children’s. B．To advocate handwritten notes in college. C．To highlight their academic performance. D．To show universal benefits of handwriting. 14．What is suggested about handwriting instruction? A．It should be developmentally appropriate. B．It should support self-paced writing. C．It should start with paper-and-pencil tasks. D．It should be put first in core subjects. 15．How does cursive benefit students with reading difficulties? A．By creating a steady pattern. B．By connecting different units. C．By reducing the writing stress. D．By promoting overall recognition. 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。 At 5 a.m., social media fills with proof that the early risers have already won the day. Cold bathing. Journals. Sunrise runs. Productivity experts insist this is the routine that separates high performers from everyone else. 16 But the science tells a more complicated story. For many people, a 5 am routine conflicts with their biology and can lower both health and productivity. Much depends on your individual biological rhythm, or “chronotype”. 17 Morning types tend to report better academic outcomes. Evening types show higher rates of burnout and are more likely to report poorer mental and physical health. A common belief is that adopting an early routine will deliver the same benefits seen in natural morning types. However, chronotypes are not easily changed. 18 Trying to reset your natural clock abruptly can lead to tiredness, poor concentration and even sleep disorders. The key point is: early rising itself does not create success. People tend to perform best when their daily schedules are in line with their biological rhythms. Changing chronotype is difficult, but small adjustments may help. Instead of waking earlier straight away, try going to bed slightly earlier, including at weekends. Stick to this gentle routine. 19 Rather than forcing early routines, the more useful question is how to identify your own rhythm and work with it. 20 The real productivity advantage lies not in waking earlier, but in designing routines that match how the brain and body actually function. A．They are shaped by genetics and natural rhythm. B．Studies often find differences between chronotypes. C．The message is simple: wake earlier, perform better. D．Studies suggest that morning types have an advantage in their careers. E．You will soon wake up at 5 am and follow the high performers’ routine. F．Your body will slowly adapt and start shifting toward an earlier rhythm. G．This means skipping blind “early bird” routines and focusing on your own needs. 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the age of 28, Gillian Kline was diagnosed with cancer.

A sketchbook (素描簿) lay forgotten beneath a chair, its pages slightly fanned out by the gentle wind. Chen picked it up carefully, and felt a sudden wave of sympathy. Someone must be anxiously searching for this, he thought. These drawings represent hours of creative effort and observation. Back at his office, Chen opened the sketchbook with gentle hands. The pages revealed a remarkable journey: detailed pencil studies of sculptures, quick watercolor impressions of sunlight and so on. Yet nowhere in the book could Chen find a name, phone number, or any contact information. Determined to reunite the sketchbook with its creator, Chen photographed several standout pages and posted them on the museum’s social media accounts, describing where the book had been discovered. The local community responded enthusiastically, sharing the post thousands of times. However, after a few days of widespread circulation, no one had come forward to claim the work. Chen began to worry that the artist might be a tourist who had already returned home, or perhaps a student who had given up hope and started a new one. Just as Chen prepared to create a physical display in the museum lobby (大厅), an email arrived in his inbox. The subject line read: “You found my grandmother’s sketches.” The sender, a young woman named Lin Yue, explained that her seventy-year-old grandmother had visited the museum the previous week from a neighboring province. The elderly woman, who had taken up drawing in retirement, had been overwhelmed by the loss. Lin described specific sketches that matched the contents of the sketchbook perfectly. They arranged to meet in the museum lobby three days later. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 On that day, Chen waited in the museum lobby as promised. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chen picked up his phone to update the museum’s social media page. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
