B Till last year, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d done a jigsaw puzzle. It must have been at least 20 years ago. As far as I was concerned, puzzles were for kids. There were always other more exciting, interesting and productive things to do — or so I thought. While at home on a rainy autumn afternoon, however, I chanced on a jigsaw puzzle that had been lying untouched since my husband and I were given it a few years ago. I’m not sure what came over me — perhaps it was because my husband was watching a film that didn’t particularly interest me — but I decided to give it a go. The 1,000-piece puzzle took me a couple of weeks to complete. I would spend from five minutes to two hours on it at a time, depending on how busy I was. Strangely, there’s something so satisfying about finding the right piece for a space, joining up sections, getting closer to finishing a picture. Every time I successfully place a piece, I get a little rush and feel a sense of achievement. It’s a dopamine hit, but not one I usually get from just scrolling (刷屏) stream media. I soon became addicted to it. Meanwhile, I’ve found an unexpected bonus: the slightly physical aspect of it, leaning over the pieces and picking different ones up, means I can’t be on my phone at the same time. I especially love that doing a puzzle doesn’t involve a screen in any capacity since so many aspects of my life almost can’t go without my computer, my phone or the television — even following a workout app in the gym or listening to a podcast on a walk. And I’ve come to realize puzzling is not just for kids after all. Perhaps it was the very piece that I had failed to notice in my life all along. 24. What did the author use to view jigsaw puzzling as? A. A popular time killer. B. A childish recreation. C. A refreshing comfort. D. A handy stress reliever. 25. What does the underlined part “a dopamine hit” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A sudden wave of regret. B. A brief sense of relief. C. A quick feeling of pleasure. D. A deep state of anticipation. 26. Which aspect of puzzling does the author favor most? A. It is calming. B. It is screen-free. C. It is educational. D. It is user-friendly. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Missing Piece of My Life B. The Journey of Going Puzzle-free C. A Piece of Childhood Memory D. An Unforgettable Rainy Afternoon C Tiny House Shadow, a 365-square-foot sustainable tiny house, stands in Lohja as a response to modern day climate and population challenges. Designed by Matti Kuittinen, an architect professor at Aalto University, it is an exercise in what future building might look like. “We need to reduce emissions (排放) from the building sector by 80-90%, and build almost 2 billion new homes by the end of the century,” warns Kuittinen. These two goals are contradictory, “which is why we need to consider totally different housing and construction solutions.” After years of research into these issues, Kuittinen has collaborated with construction companies to build his idealized sustainable structure. Tiny House Shadow is entirely mobile and can be taken apart. It is the first of its kind to feature a specialized decarbonated steel in its exterior. Sustainable materials define the interior as well, with the floors made from recycled plastic, the ceilings from old tires and the windows from old buildings. In fact, the house uses 56% recycled materials across its entire build, this alone reducing its footprint by 53%. Just by living in a home that is smaller — and less energy-consuming in both design and day-to-day consumption — people will live a more sustainable life. In the case of Tiny House Shadow which considers everyday functions and needs versus wants, each resident reduces his or her carbon footprint greatly compared to life in a conventional house. Through the architecture and the lifestyle it promotes, Tiny House Shadow re-images what our residential space could be without the unnecessary waste we’re used to. But that being said, spending time in Kuittinen’s design doesn’t mean roughing it. “Living in a tiny house doesn’t necessarily mean giving up comfort,” Kuittinen said. Inside, it can be transformed according to use, thanks to movable partitions and space-saving rooms separated by sliding doors and other mechanisms. Regularly exhibited as a sample at construction fairs, Tiny House Shadow has made a remarkable entrance on the market. Kuittinen hopes it can be a demonstration of low-emission, resource-efficient single-family housing for the modern age. 28. What is the core reason for Kuittinen’s design? A. To trade space for sustainability. B. To stay true to his longtime ideals. C. To balance emission cut and housing. D. To create a cheaper alternative to flats. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Shadow? A. Its building process. B. Its spacious layout. C. Its commercial value. D. Its sustainable design. 30. What living philosophy is embodied in Tiny House Shadow? A. Idealism. B. Minimalism. C. Materialism. D. Optimism. 31. What is Kuittinen’s expectation of Tiny House Shadow? A. Serving as a building model. B. Entering the market quickly. C. Attracting sufficient funding. D. Winning prizes at building fairs. D “Humans have around 20,000 protein-coding genes, but little is known about how those protein molecules (分子) organize and interact,” says Trey Ideker, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego. Without that knowledge, trying to study and treat disease is “like trying to understand how to fix your car without the repair guide”. In an April 2025 study in Nature, Ideker and his team presented their latest attempt to fill this information gap: a map of a human cell, showing the locations of more than 5,000 proteins organized into 275 smaller and smaller structures. The map goes far beyond the simplified diagrams you may recall from high school biology class. The team achieved this level of detail by taking a “multimodal” approach. First, to figure out which proteins interact inside our cells, the researchers lined a tube with a particular protein, called the “bait (诱饵)” protein. Then, they poured a blended mixture of other proteins through the tube to see which ones would stick together, showing an interaction. Next, to locate these proteins precisely, they lit up individual molecules inside a cell using glowing antibodies. These antibodies stick to specific substances. Once the antibodies found their target, the lighted protein was visualized under a microscope and placed on the map. There are many human cell types, and the one Ideker’s team chose to map is called the U2OS cell. It is commonly associated with childhood bone cancer. Indeed, the researchers identified more than 100 new mutated (突变) proteins that are linked to childhood cancer, helping reveal how the disease develops. Better yet, they located those proteins within the cell. Typically, cancer research is focused on individual mutations, but by placing them in context, the map provides a look at the larger structures that individual mutations affect. “The U2OS cell took more than three years to chart, but technology and methodological improvements could speed up the mapping of other cells in the future,” Ideker adds. “Our goal is ’to really scale it up’ and reveal the subcellular architecture beneath all sorts of diseases.” 32. What is stressed by using the metaphor in paragraph 1? A. The diversity of genes. B. The severity of disease. C. The necessity of car maintenance. D. The significance of cell mapping. 33. What is the function of the glowing antibodies in the study? A. Making the tube easily visible. B. Breaking down unwanted proteins. C. Identifying the location of the proteins. D. Speeding up the interaction of the proteins. 34. What sets Ideker’s research apart from traditional cancer research? A. It names a new cell U2OS. B. It prioritizes new mutated proteins. C. It centers on individual cells. D. It contextualizes mutations within cells. 35. What is Ideker’s attitude towards the future research? A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful. 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。 When I sat in the sun one afternoon, it was noisy outside. The industrious buzz of bees in cherry flowers was annoying, accompanied by “back off” warning chirps from blackbirds nesting in the tree. 36 A mini-digger was tearing apart the neighboring garden, sending out a deep, continuous roar. They started with the hedge (树篱) — I thought that was all they were going to do, because it happened around here a lot. 37 The first was proudly pointed out to me by the owner; the second I only saw in the aftermath. But this time they had bigger plans. When the hedge was out, they kept clearing away bushes, plants and trees. 38 Aren’t we supposed to be a nation of garden lovers? It doesn’t feel like it. 39 Paved (铺砌的) driveways have covered what were plots of wild vegetation. And it’s happening almost everywhere. People have their reasons and it’s none of my bleeding-heart business, but I just can’t stop feeling worried. I know people are busy and gardening may feel burdensome. But for anyone who has a corner of outside space, if they can’t do something, at least they can do nothing. Nothing might be the best thing of all, actually, as long as they don’t destroy it. 40 Wild grass and flowers feed insects and birds; insects lay eggs in plants; birds line nests in trees… Over time, the negative space where people don’t garden can be precisely where the ordinary magic of life happens. A. Gardens can evolve in their own way. B. There was another noise too, though. C. Gardens are almost as diverse as a rainforest. D. I couldn’t remember exactly the similar happenings. E. It was the third case I had spotted in a matter of weeks. F. By evening, what had once been a garden was no more. G. Every year, a handful of front gardens get concreted over here. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It seems a common occurrence. When a player on the opposing team makes a 41 on a big play, the reaction for many sports fans is joy. But not every sports fan. With a minute and a half left in an NFL (National Football League) playoff game last season, the Baltimore Ravens had 42 a touchdown to close their deficit (分差) to the Buffalo Bills, bringing the game to 25-27. A 2-point try would 43 the game. The Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson, 44 the ball to tight end Mark Andrews, who was at the goal line. He caught it… but he dropped it. To be 45 , he seemed to slip as the ball reached him on the snowy field. The whole season essentially 46 this play. And now Andrews blew it and their season was 47 . But two Bills fans felt 48 , even amid their victory. Andrews has T1D (Type 1 diabetes) and pricked (刺) his finger several times a game to 49 his blood sugar. The two Bills fans decided to start a charitable 50 on their Instagram page to raise money for Breakthrough T1D, an organization Andrews has supported. “In sports, there’s something 51 than the game,” says one of them. Their effort has raised more than $146,000, 52 , donations were mostly from Bills fans, but as 53 spread, fans of the Ravens and other NFL teams joined in. “I’ve been feeling 54 for letting my team, coach and fans down. What they do really 55 the softest part of my heart,” says Andrews. 41. A. change B. comment C. breakthrough D. mistake 42. A. scored B. avoided C. expected D. witnessed 43.

A. touches B. protects C. breaks D. exposes 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。 “Becoming Chinese”, a viral trend, has taken hold on social media platforms. 56 past crazes for foreign symbols, this phenomenon centers on adopting lifestyle habits 57 (root) in traditional Chinese wisdom, reflecting a deeper, more participatory engagement with Chinese culture. Started by a Chinese-American TikToker Sherry Xliruli, 58 video attracted 1.4 million views, the trend sees netizens worldwide playfully embracing routines like wearing house slippers, drinking hot water, practicing Ba Duan Jin exercises, and prioritizing wellness. At its core, this transformation in cultural recognition signifies that, in a 59 (rapid) changing world, the Chinese way of life offers a 60 (solve), characterized by order, inclusiveness, and inner stability. The wisdom contained within it, such as harmony between heaven and humanity and the balance of yin and yang, 61 (provide) a buffer (缓冲) for today’s “burnout society”. Inarguably, digital technology has become 62 booster for cultural exchange, with short-video platforms breaking down the geographical barriers of cultural transmission and 63 (allow) the daily habits of Chinese life to be presented vividly. The “Becoming Chinese” trend marks a shift in China’s international cultural influence from “going out” to “going deep in”. When every ordinary day 64 (see) and recognized, the attraction of “Chineseness” goes beyond simple 65 (symbol) copying or identity labels, evolving into a more inclusive global cultural phenomenon. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，最近你校举办了“地方戏剧进校园”主题活动，请给校英文报投稿，内容包括： （1）活动介绍； （2）个人感悟。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Local Opera Meets the Young 第二节（满分 25 分） 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。 The early morning sun streamed through the high windows of the gymnasium. Mum’s medals and trophies from years past lined the walls. I remembered how she used to let me wear them when I was little, telling me stories about her journey to the glory. As usual, I watched Mum coach her gymnastics class. So gracefully did she move around the gymnasium that it was not hard to believe she had once been an outstanding gymnast. But something seemed different. “One more time, girls!” she called out, demonstrating a simple cartwheel (侧手翻). As she landed, she stumbled (踉跄) slightly and forced a smile. I saw how she was attempting to put less weight on her right ankle. The students did not notice it, but I did. It was the same ankle that had carried her through countless routines, but now seemed to be failing her. My mind wandered back to when I was six, afraid to even do a forward roll. The gymnasium had seemed enormous then. Mum would spot me, her hands ready to catch me if I fell. When I had crashed during my first competition on the balance beam, she had been at the edge of the mat, encouraging me to continue. The memory was still vivid — the hushed audience, and my trembling legs as I stood up again. Pride in her eyes, she whispered then, “Every great gymnast falls, Sophie, but only the best ones get back up.” Now, watching her massage (按摩) her ankle between demonstrations, I understood why she had been doing more coaching and less demonstrating lately. Her body was not responding the way it used to. “Coach Chen,” one of the younger students called out, her ponytail bouncing with excitement, “Can you show us the cartwheel again?” A flash of pain crossed her face, so brief that only someone who knew her well would notice. She hesitated, and in that moment, I knew — she couldn’t do it. 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。 “Let me show you how,” I offered, moving to the center. After class, I took Mum to the nearby clinic. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语参考答案 第一部分听力 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.B 6.B 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.A 11.A 12.C 13.A 14.A 15.C 16.A 17.B 18.C 19.B 20.C 第二部分阅读 第一节 21-23DCA 24-27 BCBA 28-31 CDBA 32-35 DCDB 第二节 36-40 BEFGA 第三部分语言运用 第一节 41-45 DACBD 46-50 CADBC 51-55 DABCA 第二节 56.Unlike 57.rooted 58.whose 59.rapidly 60.solution 61.provides 62.a 63.allowing 64.is seen 65.symbolic 第四部分写作 第一节 One possible version: When Local Opera Meets the Young Recently,our school held an engaging activity,"Local Opera Entering Campus",focusing on Shandong Bangzi,a classic local opera from our city. It was truly enlightening.Celebrated folk artists gave wonderful performances,explained its special costumes and unique vocal styles,and shared warm stories behind it.Then,amazingly,one artist creatively guided us in interactive workshops,helping mix traditional tunes with modern pop elements.The revitalized version brought the local opera to a thrilling peak-we not only learned practical skills but also tried modernized singing,thus literally feeling the charm of Shandong Bangzi. What a delightful eye-opener!It has offered us a precious chance to engage with our intangible cultural heritage.Hopefully,more traditional arts of this kind will find their way into campus life and truly resonate with us teenagers. 第二节 One possible version: "Let me show you how,"I offered,moving to the center.The young gymnasts gathered around me,their eyes carrying the very hunger I had once known.I took a deep breath,feeling the familiar texture of the mat beneath my feet.Then I began-placed my palms firmly on the ground, lifted my legs high,spun sideways and landed lightly-a perfect cartwheel,just as Mum had taught me.The students gasped,then burst into applause.I glanced toward Mum,who was watching me with pride-the same pride that had once lit up her eyes when I,at six years old, landed that move for the first time. After class,I took Mum to the nearby clinic.Test results showed her ankle needed at least a month of rest.Mum sighed softly,her eyes clouding with a sadness she quickly masked with a weak smile.Leaning close to her,I could sense the tiredness in her shoulders-and the quiet pain in her leg,which had once carried her to glory."When did you grow up so much?"she whispered gently."You taught me:every great gymnast falls,but only the best ones get back up.You've "fallen"this time,Mum,but I firmly believe you will rise again."And in that moment,I realized it was my turn to stand by her side-to be her spotter. 听力原文： Text 1 W:When I read the news online,I see so many videos and ads that I end up forgetting what I came to read!

Text2 W:The party was full of fun activities,but it was a bit of a shame that they didn't make a list of who should bring what dish. M:Yes,it certainly meant that lots of people brought the same thing. Text3 M:I was surprised not to see you at the gym on Saturday night,Helen.You weren't sick,were you? W:Nothing like that,Paul.In fact,my brother Kevin is moving to his new house soon,and he asked me to help him pack his belongings Text 4 M:Have you noticed how everyone is wearing oversized clothes lately? W:Yes!And I heard long shirts are coming back.The trends just keep repeating. M:Interesting!I have a few old ones I could wear again. Text5 M:How can I help you today?

Text 7 M:It's been two years now since I totally quit eating meat. W:Me too.I just wanted to live a greener life,and meat production's just not good for the environment.I thought I might miss certain vitamins,so I took the time to learn about healthy eating. M:Oh,that sounds like a good idea.Not trying to do too much at once was beneficial for me,like exchanging chicken or steak for beans and vegetables bit by bit. W:I did pretty much the same thing and was amazed how varied non-meat dishes can be,in fact. Text 8 W:Hey,Mark,do you have a minute to go over the details of our upcoming business trip?

M:Exactly.Something like"after this weather update,stay tuned for details on how you can win tickets to the biggest concert of the year". W:And we'll follow that up with the morning headlines. Text 10 W:Hello,everyone.I'm Jenny,and I'm here to talk to you about being an actress.I've been in the business for a long time.I'm currently working on a film called Three Bridges,which I hope is going to be a hit.However,most of you might recognize me from Blackfield Road,the soap opera. I spent three years at a drama school.There,we studied subjects like acting techniques,voice training,and screenplay analysis.At school,we had this program where senior students had to spend two weeks in a real work environment.I got to spend time in a theater.I learnt all about how they built the set and how the costumes were made.After graduation,I had hoped to be given a part in a film,but instead,it was a small part in a TV commercial!However,after that,I had better opportunities to participate in some films.I'm trying out at the moment for a Shakespeare play.It's King Lear,and I'm really looking forward to working on stage in a theater again.It's a great chance to sharpen my acting skills,but nothing compares to the experience of having a real audience
