Of course, food bloggers, chefs, and restaurant insiders have jumped on the trend, building platforms to talk about their favorite part of the food world. Longest running: The Splendid Table At 25 years old, The Splendid Table takes the cake for longest-running restaurant podcast (on our list, at least). The Splendid Table, currently hosted by Francis Lam, features food, travel, culture, and more, with episodes coming out every few days. Best combo of food and science: Gastropod If you love food, science, and history, Gastropod is the podcast for you. Co-hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley dig into the details of just about every food-related topic there is — from coffee to candy corn and everything in between. Best storytelling: The Storied Recipe What are recipes if not storytelling? The Storied Recipe host Becky Hadeed has each guest bring their favorite recipe to share, and she makes it herself while explaining the heritage and history behind each one. There you have it — some excellent food podcasts sharing content across the Internet. Check them out yourself; you’re guaranteed to learn something new. Best history lessons: Smart Mouth Smart Mouth, hosted by former L.A. Weekly food editor Katherine Spiers, takes dull topics and makes them interesting. From a full history of New York City restaurants to a discussion on school-provided lunches, Smart Mouth makes every topic irresistible and teaches you something. 21.

Like many specialists, he was caught in a struggle between his patients and a mountain of paperwork. Every day was a busy rush. He’d see up to 30 patients, then spend his evenings and weekends buried under medical notes and reports. It was a boring, tiring process that left him with little time for his family, let alone a moment to breathe. The system was broken, and it was burning out the very people we rely on to heal us. Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse, a new technology entered the picture. It wasn’t a complex robot or a sci-fi device, but an unnoticed, clever digital assistant called an AI note-taker. Developed by a tech company, this “co-pilot” operates silently in the background, listening to doctor-patient conversations. While it might sound futuristic, its job is simple and powerful: it instantly writes down notes, drafts reports, and organizes a doctor’s documentation. Joel Freiberg, the co-founder of the company, says his team isn’t trying to replace doctors — they’re trying to help them. “Producing medical reports by hand is a time-consuming and complex process that requires extensive paperwork and hours of labour-intensive work,” he explains. “AI not only saves time but also improves the quality of patient interaction.” For Dr. Leong, the change has been nothing short of life-changing. He’s no longer tied to a keyboard. Instead, he’s free to do what he does best: connect with his patients. Now, he can spend more time explaining conditions and treatment options. The AI note-taker captures the details, even his conversational summaries, in brief and clear language that the patient can understand. This is more than just a story about technology; it’s a story about a solution that gives doctors back their time and passion for medicine. It’s about a tool that helps them be better at their jobs so they can focus on what they do best: helping people. And for Dr. Leong and countless others, it’s about finding that precious balance between being a great doctor and being present for their families. 24. What added to Dr. Leong’s exhaustion before using the AI note-taker? A. He got up very early to avoid the rush hour. B. He needed to improve his skills in eye surgery. C. He found it hard to win the trust of his patients. D. He had to deal with large amounts of paperwork. 25. How does the AI note-taker work? A. It reminds doctors of their daily tasks and meetings. B. It teaches patients how to describe their conditions clearly. C. It helps doctors perform operations with greater confidence. D. It takes notes while listening to talks between doctors and patients. 26. Why does Joel Freiberg mention “producing medical reports by hand”? A. To show the need for the AI technology. B. To explain the length of medical work. C. To describe the training process for doctors. D. To prove the complexity of medical reports. 27. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs? A. Doctors should prioritize their personal life. B. AI will eventually replace human doctors. C. New tools help doctors regain time and passion. D. Technology advances rapidly in medical fields. C The saying “land is finite” may soon face innovation. Moshe Alamaro, an independent inventor, proposes transforming semi-arid regions — areas with limited moisture (水分) for crops but enough for thin vegetation — into agricultural land. Covering 15% of Earth’s surface, these zones overshadow the 10% of land currently used for farming. Alamaro’s solution? Reshape the terrain to trap moisture. His idea draws from sunlight’s uneven impact on slopes (斜坡). In the northern hemisphere (半球), south-facing slopes receive direct sunlight, becoming hot and dry, while north-facing slopes stay cool and moist. Near the equator, where the sun shifts between hemispheres seasonally, both slopes experience alternating exposure. Alamaro suggests using bulldozers (推土机) to create east-west edges with broad, shallow slopes facing away from the sun and narrow, steep slopes facing it. Crops would then be planted on the shaded, moist slopes. To test this, Alamaro teamed up with Renato Morbidelli of Perugia University to launch ReSlope Global. The project will run two two-hectare trials — one in Italy and one in Kenya. The Italian trial will determine the best angle for north-facing slopes in the northern hemisphere, while the Kenyan trial, near the equator, will explore alternating crop planting on both slopes based on seasonal sun shifts. These experiments aim to calculate costs and refine techniques for global use. Alamaro’s past ideas have had mixed results. His plan to pump power plant exhaust gases into greenhouses succeeded. Aerial reforestation, now easier with drone-delivered seedlings, is gaining popularity. However, his hurricane-control and smog-removal schemes remain untested, and his idea to create winter ice mountains for summer water supply has not been carried out. Yet, if ReSlope’s trials work, the approach could transform agriculture. By turning infertile land into productive fields, it might ease food shortages and reduce pressure on existing farmland. Critics may call Alamaro’s vision impractical, but his creativity highlights humanity’s ability to solve global problems. His work reminds us that innovation often starts with simple, bold ideas. As the world struggles with climate change and population growth, such “fertile minds” may offer the key to a sustainable future. 28. What does the underlined word “terrain” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Climate conditions. B. Land surface features. C. Soil composition. D. Vegetation coverage. 29. According to the passage, the Kenyan trial will focus on _________. A. building greenhouses to control temperature B. comparing the effects of drones and bulldozers C. finding the best slope angle for north-facing hills D. switching crop planting according to seasonal sunlight 30. What can we learn about Moshe Alamaro from the passage? A. He is a university professor who specializes in agriculture. B. His ideas are always successfully conducted worldwide. C. He proposes creative ideas with varying degrees of success. D. He mainly focuses on solving urban air pollution problems. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward Alamaro’s ideas in the last paragraph? A. Strongly critical. B. Completely neutral. C. Deeply admiring. D. Slightly optimistic. D The house cat was introduced to China in the 8th century. But long before that, the ancient Chinese were by no means catless. Genetic evidence indicates that between 5,400 and 1,900 years ago, it was the leopard cat that jumped suddenly on the mice of ancient China. “While Chinese modern house cats come from the African wildcat, but there were a lot of debates on when exactly this happened,” says He Yu, an ancient DNA expert from Peking University in China. Yu and her colleagues examined the DNA from the bones of 22 cats, dating from around 5,400 years ago to the 20th century. Genetic evidence tracing their origins to the Middle East and a close relationship with African wildcats suggests that the earliest house cats in China, dated to A.D. 730 in the Tang Dynasty, probably reached China via the Silk Road. DNA also provided clues to what that earliest cat looked like. Most likely, it had short fur and some white markings. This is supported by historical artworks, which confirms that white cats were a popular subject in paintings throughout Chinese history. But DNA samples from before A.D. 200, the late period of the Han Dynasty, didn’t belong to house cats, but leopard cats — a species local to China. “The leopard cats may have been more of what we call opportunists, living near humans but not in their homes,” says Kathryn Lord, an evolutionary biologist. Following the Han Dynasty’s fall, leopard cats disappeared from human areas. Although stability and food abundance eventually recovered, house cats had already become established, taking over the special place in nature through being domesticated. “The tale of two cats offers insight into why some animals end up in domestic relationships with people, while others don’t,” says Elinor Karlsson. “This paper shows that adapting to human environments is an evolutionary process,” she adds. Leopard cats used human environments when it worked for them and faded back into the forest when it didn’t. 32. What was the original source of China’s house cats? A. Europe as foreign gifts. B. Local areas from the wild. C. Middle East via trade routes. D. Africa through natural migration. 33. What evidence supports the appearance of early house cats? A. Their popularity among wealthy families. B. Their white features in historical artworks. C. Their use in protecting valuable paintings. D. Their appearance in ancient Chinese books. 34. How did leopard cats interact with humans? A. They were more friendly to people. B. They lived near humans but wild. C. They were better at catching pests. D. They refused human-provided food. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Cat and the Mouse: A History of Hunting B. The Leopard Cat: Its Rise and Fall in China C. Two Cats’ Tale: Adaptation Comes with Evolution D. From Wild to Home: How the House Cat Won China 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。 Hiking in the Extreme Heat on Holiday With heatwaves sweeping across many regions, travellers face a number of health risks. 36 Cases like this remind us of the importance of taking precautions when hiking in heat. One of the dangers of hiking in the heat is that it can bring on heatstroke. This is when the body can’t control its own temperature. 37 Another potentially life-threatening is dehydration (脱水), which can lead to kidney failure. Your organs don’t have enough fluid (液体) to function. 38 First of all, you must take enough water with you. Then I recommend using electrolytes (电解质) or salt tablets. They restore much of what you will be losing through sweat. Make sure you cover up. You will lose more body fluid if your skin is exposed to the sun. Additionally, you should always have a fully charged mobile and a satellite tracker with you. A first aid kit that includes rehydration salts is also a necessity. If you start to feel sick or dizzy or just a bit lost: stop! Find or set up some form of shade and rest under it. Eat something sweet and drink small drops of water. This is the time to take an extra salt tablet or electrolyte. Wet something and put it over your head and face. Cool your neck with it and the inside of your wrists. Breathe as deeply as you can and try to calm your mind and body. 39 I’m always an advocate for getting outdoors and enjoying yourself. However, you do have to be both prepared and equipped. 40 As we have seen, there can be terrible consequences to hiking in the heat. A. Time of day is also a major factor. B. Sweating fails and the body can’t cool down. C. If not, maybe do something else instead that day. D. Many people don’t want to do so but it is worth it. E. Unfortunately, they can become deadly sometimes. F. These are the precautions when heading out for a hike. G. If you are still feeling strange, then it is time to call for help. 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。 Bell, a driver for an energy provider, turned his big truck onto the county road.

As a sorrowful bell rang, Dad asked if I had any last farewells. I bit my lip: Goodbye, home. Soon, we were heading west to Grandpa’s farm, where Dad grew up with chickens and cattle. I hated the idea. Dad talked about the beauty of the desert and Rocky Mountains, but I only cared about beach shells and seagulls’ (海鸥) cries. After six days of driving, we arrived at Grandpa’s dusty farm. Ben, my two-year-old brother, quickly fell in love with the cow and sheep, but I felt lonely. Grandpa gave me the attic (顶楼) bedroom, where I unpacked my favorite things: a beach towel, a framed starfish, and a shell collection, placing them by the window to feel closer to home. The night before school started, I stared at my notebook. I’d made two lists: “Old Things I Miss” (pleasant salt smell, seagulls, friends) and “New Things I Love” — which was still blank. I dreamed of seagulls tracking lobster boats, but woke to the sound of Grandpa’s tractor. To my shock, a flock of seagulls circled above the ploughed (犁过的) field, skimming for worms. Dad explained they were Utah’s state birds, heroes who’d saved settlers from starvation. As I listened to their cries, a faint warmth touched my heart. Before leaving for school, I slipped the notebook into my backpack. Maybe desert gulls were a sign — but would I really find new things to love here? I twisted (转动) the shell keychain in my pocket — one of my favorite shells from the ocean, wondering if a “sea girl” could ever call the desert home. 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。 On my first day at school, the shell keychain in my hand caught a girl’s eye. As the days passed, the “New Things I Love” grew longer and longer. 5月高三英语参考答案 题序 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B A A B A C B C C 题序 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A C B A C A A B C 题序 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 A B B D D A C B D C 题序 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 C C B B C C B D F A 题序 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 A B C D B A C B D A 题序 51 52 53 54 55 答案 C D C B A 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 1—5 CBAAB 6—10 ACBCC 11—15 BACBA 16—20 CAABC 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A 【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍美食播客日益流行的现象，并重点推荐了四档各具特色的节目。“The Splendid Table”历史最悠久，内容涵盖美食、旅行与文化；“Gastropod”以探索食物背后的科学和历史为特色；而“The Storied Recipe”则专注于讲述食谱背后的故事与传统；“Smart Mouth”把平淡乏味的话题变得妙趣横生。文章旨在为对美食感兴趣的听众提供优质的收听选择。 21. A【解析】理解具体信息。由“Longest running: The Splendid Table”中的“features food, travel, culture, and more”可知，The Splendid Table涵盖食物、旅行、文化等内容。 【思维过程】The Splendid Table中“features food, travel, culture, and more”→选项A“The Splendid Table” (直接匹配)→答案A 22. B【解析】理解具体信息。原文中Gastropod明确强调“food, science”，选项B“explores the science behind food”是对“food, science”的同义转述。而The Storied Recipe侧重“storytelling”和“heritage and history”，并未涉及科学元素。通过比较两者描述，Gastropod的独特之处在于探索食物背后的科学。 【思维过程】Gastropod中“food, science, and history”→选项B“explores the science behind food” (同义转述)→答案B 23. B【解析】理解具体信息。根据第一段中“With the ability to listen wherever, whenever, podcasts have taken over... building platforms to talk about their favorite part of the food world”可知，本文主要为对美食感兴趣的听众提供几个食物播客。 【思维过程】“food bloggers... building platforms to talk about their favorite part of the food world”→选项B“recommend food podcasts to listeners”→答案B B 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了眼科医生Leong博士面临的文书工作负担过重的问题，以及AI记事员如何帮助他解决这一困境。AI工具能自动记录医患对话并生成报告，将医生从繁重的文案工作中解放出来，使他能更专注于与患者沟通。这不仅提高了工作效率和质量，还帮助医生重获对医疗工作的热情，并更好地平衡了工作与生活。 24.D【解析】理解具体信息。根据文中第一段最后一句中“a mountain of paperwork”和第二段第一、二句“Every day was a busy rush…buried under medical notes and reports”可知，Leong要处理大量文书工作。 【思维过程】“a mountain of paperwork”/“buried under medical notes and reports”→选项D“deal with large amounts of paperwork” (同义转述)→答案D 25.D【解析】理解具体信息。根据文中第三段中“listening to doctor-patient conversations”和“it instantly writes down notes”可知，AI记事员会自动记录医患对话并即时生成笔记。 【思维过程】“listening to doctor-patient conversations”+“instantly writes down notes”→选项D“It takes notes while listening to talks…”→答案D 26.A【解析】推理判断题。第四段中Joel Freiberg的话采用了“问题—解决方案”结构。他先描述手动撰写报告是“耗时、复杂、劳动密集型” (time-consuming, complex, labour-intensive)，点明问题；紧接着指出“AI能节省时间、提高质量”，提出了解决方案。因此，他提及前者的目的是为了衬托和证明后者的必要性。选项A符合题意。 【思维过程】 (先描述问题)“Producing…by hand is a time-consuming and complex process... labour-intensive work”→ (后提出方案)“AI not only saves time but also improves the quality”→推理目的：通过指出问题来证明引入AI的必要性→选项A“To show the need for the AI technology.” (推理判断)→答案A 27.C【解析】理解主旨要义。文章的最后两段并非单纯描述技术，而是聚焦于该技术(AI记事员作为一种“solution”或“tool”)带来的益处。段落中反复出现的关键概念是：为医生“找回时间” (gives doctors back their time, focus on what they do best, balance)和“重燃热情/专注” (passion for medicine, be better at their jobs)。 【思维过程】“gives doctors back their time and passion”“focus on what they do best”“finding that precious balance”→概括归纳：新工具带来的好处是让医生重获时间和热情→选项C“New tools help doctors regain time and passion.”→答案C C 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了发明家Alamaro通过改造地形、利用阳光差异将半干旱地区变为耕地的创新方案，并提及该方案的试验计划及其过往设想，旨在探讨创新思维对解决全球问题的重要性。 28.B【解析】词义猜测题。根据上下文，第一段中提到“改造地形以锁住水分” (Reshape the terrain to trap moisture)，且后文详细描述了如何用推土机塑造东西走向的山脊(create east-west edges)，可见“terrain”指代的是可被改造的“地表形态”或“地形”，而非气候、土壤或植被本身。 【思维过程】“Reshape the terrain to trap moisture”+“using bulldozers (推土机) to create east-west edges with broad, shallow slopes facing away from the sun and narrow, steep slopes facing it”→“terrain”是跟地形相关的→选项B“Land surface features.”→答案B 29.D【解析】理解具体信息。根据第三段中“... the Kenyan trial, near the equator, will explore alternating crop planting on both slopes based on seasonal sun shifts”可知，肯尼亚试验的重点是测试根据季节性太阳移动，在南北坡交替种植作物的模式。 【思维过程】“while the Kenyan trial, near the equator, will explore alternating crop planting on both slopes based on seasonal sun shifts”→选项D“Switching crops planting according to seasonal sunlight” (同义转述)→答案D 30.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Alamaro's past ideas have had mixed results.”及后文列举的成功、流行、未测试和未实施的各种想法可知，Alamaro确定提出很多创造性的想法，但结果有好有坏。 【思维过程】“Alamaro's past ideas have had mixed results.”+“His plan to pump power plant exhaust gases into greenhouses succeeded.”+“his hurricane-control and smog-removal schemes remain untested... for summer water supply has not been carried out”→选项C“He proposes creative ideas with varying degrees of success.”→答案C 31.C【解析】推理判断题。最后一段首先承认批评可能存在，但又强调“his creativity highlights humanity's ability...”以及“innovation often starts with simple, bold ideas”，并指出这类“富有创造力的头脑”可能是可持续发展的关键。因此，作者认可这种创新思维的重要性和潜力。 【思维过程】“his creativity highlights humanity's ability to solve global problems”+“His work reminds us that innovation often starts with simple, bold ideas”+“such‘fertile minds’ may offer the key to a sustainable future”→选项C“Deeply admiring.”→答案C D 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。本文通过基因和考古证据，揭示了中国猫科动物的演化历史。研究指出，中国家猫的祖先是唐代经丝绸之路传入的中东野猫，而非本土的豹猫。豹猫曾与古代人类共生但未被驯化，最终在人类区域被家猫取代。文章通过对比两种猫的不同命运，阐明了动物适应人类环境是一个复杂进化过程的观点。 32.C【解析】理解具体信息。根据第三段中“Genetic evidence tracing their origins to the Middle East and a close relationship with African wildcats suggests that the earliest house cats in China, dated to A.D.730 in the Tang Dynasty, probably reached China via the Silk Road.”可知，基因证据表明它们起源于中东并与非洲野猫有密切关系，这暗示了中国家猫最早可追溯到公元730年的唐代，很可能是通过丝绸之路到达中国的。 【思维过程】“Genetic evidence tracing their origins to the Middle East... probably reached China via the Silk Road”→选项C“Middle East via trade routes” (同义转述/概括)→答案C 33.B【解析】理解具体信息。第四段中明确指出，关于外貌的DNA线索(短毛、白色斑纹)“得到了历史艺术品的支持” (is supported by historical artworks)，并且具体说明艺术品中“白猫是受欢迎的主题” (white cats were a popular subject)。 【思维过程】“it had... white markings. This is supported by historical artworks, which confirms that white cats were a popular subject”→选项B“Their white features in historical artworks” (信息匹配)→答案B 34.B【解析】理解具体信息。根据第五段第二句“living near humans but not in their homes”可知，豹猫曾与人类共生但未被驯化。 【思维过程】“living near humans but not in their homes”→选项B“They lived near humans but wild” (同义转述)→答案B 35.C【解析】理解主旨要义。本文主要比较了两种猫(家猫和豹猫)在中国历史上的不同轨迹，陈述豹猫与人类互动的历史及其消退(第5-7段)，并指出适应人类环境是一个进化过程。 【思维过程】全文内容：讲述家猫(外来，被驯化)与豹猫(本地，利用者/消退)在中国的历史对比→结尾主旨：解释不同命运的根源在于“适应人类环境是一个进化过程”→选项C“Two Cats’ Tale: Adaptation Comes with Evolution” (概括归纳全文比较对象与主旨)→答案C 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章重点阐述了高温徒步可能引发的中暑和脱水两大健康危机，并给出具体防范与应对措施。作者倡导户外活动需以充分准备为前提。 36.E【解析】考查承接句。前文提到随着热浪席卷很多地区，旅行者面临着许多健康风险。后文讲述像这样的案例提醒我们在炎热的天气里远足时采取预防措施的重要性。Cases like this指代E项“不幸的是，它们(这些风险)有时会致命。” 【逻辑链】健康风险→递进强调“这些风险有时会致命”→引出“这样的案例” 37.B【解析】考查承接句。在大热天徒步旅行的危险之一是会中暑。这是指身体无法控制自己的体温。出汗失败，身体无法降温。B项是对前文的补充说明。 【逻辑链】无法控制自己的体温(can't control temperature)→具体解释原因：出汗失效、无法降温。(完全对应中暑机制，衔接最紧密。) 38.F【解析】考查段首句。首先，你必须带足够的水。然后建议使用电解质或盐片。它们可以补充因流汗而流失的大部分水分。一定要穿得严严实实。如果你的皮肤暴露在阳光下，你会失去更多的水分。此外，你应该随身携带一个充满电的手机和一个卫星跟踪器。一个装有补液盐的急救箱也是必需的。F项“这些都是徒步旅行时的注意事项。”是本段的主题句。 【逻辑链】总起句：以下是预防措施→具体讲怎么做。(本段为典型的“总一分”结构过渡句。) 39.G【解析】考查段尾句。如果你开始感到恶心、头晕或有点迷糊：停下来！找一个或搭一个阴凉的地方，在树荫下休息。吃一些甜的东西，喝一小口水。这是服用额外的盐片或电解质的时候了。弄湿一些东西，盖在头上和脸上。用它冷却你的脖子和手腕内侧。尽可能深呼吸，试着让你的身心平静下来。G项“如果你仍然感觉不好，那么是时候寻求帮助了。”是对本段内容的补充。 【逻辑链】本段讲述了一些自救措施，如果仍不舒服→应该求救(call for help)。 40.C【解析】考查承接句。“我”一直提倡到户外去娱乐自己。然而，你必须同时准备好预案和装备。如果还没有准备好，也许那天可以做点别的事情。正如我们所看到的，在高温下徒步旅行可能会带来毁灭性的后果。 【逻辑链】户外活动必须准备充分→如果没准备好，那就在那天做别的事。 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) 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了能源公司的司机贝尔在公路上目睹车祸后的英勇救援行为。故事描述了他发现一辆着火翻倒的出租车后，果断用灭火器扑救、砸窗、割断安全带，并将昏迷的司机从车中救出的全过程。随后，他在浓烟中运用急救知识对伤者实施心肺复苏，并坚持到救援人员抵达。这一经历不仅使他被誉为英雄，更让他第一次感到自豪，并领悟到：相信自己，每个人都能找到自己的人生意义。 41.A【解析】考查名词。后文明确提到事故车辆“It was on fire” (着火了); 着火自然会产生“smoke” (烟)。 42.B【解析】考查名词。根据“hit a telephone pole”和“slid down a hill and turned over”的描述，车辆是失控冲出了“道路”。“went off the road”意为“冲出/驶离道路”，符合情节。 43.C【解析】考查动词。在紧急救火的紧张情况下，动作必须是迅速、果断的。“grabbed” (抓取)最能体现司机毫不犹豫、急切地拿起灭火器的状态。 44.D【解析】考查动词。前文说车辆着火，他用灭火器喷射直到用完，但火未熄灭。“kept burning” (持续燃烧)是合理的描述。 45.B【解析】考查名词短语。为了救出被困司机，他需要用金属灭火器砸碎“车窗”。 46.A【解析】考查形容词。司机在翻倒的车内“被安全带卡住”。“stuck by his seat belt”描述了出租车司机被安全带“卡住/动不了”的状态。 47.C【解析】考查形容词。安全带被割断后，原本倒挂着的“昏迷”司机自然开始滑落。 48.B【解析】考查动词。贝尔将司机从燃烧的车中“拖出来”。“pulled him from the burning car”是符合场景的动作。 49.D【解析】考查副词。由于出租车司机昏迷不醒，贝尔“小心翼翼地”将他放平。gently符合事故救援情景。 50.A【解析】考查形容词。他检查伤者脉搏，发现脉搏“微弱”，这才解释了后文为何需要立即进行心肺复苏(chest compressions)。 51.C【解析】考查动词词组。kick in意为“ (在关键时刻)开始起作用/生效”。他的急救培训知识“kicked in”，即在紧急情况下本能地被应用起来，符合语境。 52.D【解析】考查动词。描述燃烧车辆产生的烟“rose in large clouds” (大团升起)，是烟雾升腾的常见表达。flooded (涌入、淹没、泛滥)多用于液体、情感等； appeared (出现)和flew (飞)描述烟雾动态不够准确。 53.C【解析】考查动词。车辆着火后，最危险的后续情况就是可能explode (爆炸)。他担心这一点，所以将伤员转移到路边，符合逻辑。 54.B【解析】考查动词。急救人员抵达后，“rushed the man to the hospital” (迅速将伤者火速送往医院)，体现了紧急医疗服务的特点。 55.A【解析】考查名词。全文主旨升华，这次经历让他感到自豪，并找到了人生的purpose (意义)。这与本段中“a hero”“put his own actions into a new light”契合。life (生命)、miracle (奇迹)、reply (回答)均不能深刻概括他通过行动获得的精神领悟。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了明末名医吴又可创立的温病学说。当时疫病流行，他立志学医，在丰富临床实践基础上，撰写《温疫论》，明确提出瘟疫属“温病”，与伤寒不同，从而建立了一套完整的温病理论体系，对后世影响深远。 56. contributed【解析】考查时态。由lived可知背景是过去，需用一般过去时。 57. to study【解析】考查非谓语动词。“make up one's mind to do sth.”意为“下定决心做某事”。 58. which【解析】考查定语从句。先行词为atmosphere，从句缺少主语，需用which引导。 59. a【解析】考查冠词。a wealth of为固定搭配，意为“很多的”。 60. observation (s)【解析】考查名词。形容词clinical后需接名词，且plentiful既可修饰可数名词复数也可修饰不可数名词，故用observation (s) (观察结果)。 61. that【解析】考查代词。指代前文不可数名词“the nature”，避免重复，用that。 62. On【解析】考查介词。“on the basis of”意为“在……基础上”。 63. stating【解析】考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语是He，与state是主谓关系，表示主动，用动词-ing形式作状语，补充说明。 64. infectious【解析】考查形容词。名词diseases前需用形容词infectious (传染性的)修饰。 65. are kept【解析】考查时态和被动语态。主语His achievements与keep是动宾关系，表被动，即“他的成就被人们所铭记”。全文主要介绍了名医吴又可，最后一句是对人物进行评价，是客观事实，因此用一般现在时。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) One possible version 1: Dear Eric, I'm writing to recommend a selective course for you.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) One possible version: On my first day at school, the shell keychain in my hand caught a girl's eyes. Her name is Lily. Her gaze fixed on the tiny seashell, shining like a fragment of my lost world. "Are you from the ocean?" she whispered. I nodded, half-expecting her to laugh at my homesickness. Instead, she smiled and showed me a worn seagull feather from her pencil case—a gift from her father, who once lived by the sea. We talked endlessly about the ocean, the salty wind, and the sound of waves. Only then did it dawn on me that homesickness was not mine alone. For the first time since arriving, I didn't feel so alone. As the days passed, the "New Things I Love" grew longer and longer. I added not only the warmth of Lily's friendship, but also the sweet smell of Grandpa's hay bales at sunset and the quiet comfort of watching desert gulls soar over the ploughed fields. Even the dusty wind and the clink of the tractor's engine found their way into my list. I still kept my shell keychain close, but now I also carried Lily's seagull feather as a reminder that home is not just a place. It's the people who make a new land feel like yours. Slowly, I realized the desert could hold just as much warmth as the ocean. 读后续写补充范文： On my first day at school, the shell keychain in my hand caught a girl's eye. She came up to me curiously, asking about its story. I told her about my seaside home, the soft beach and lovely seagulls. To my surprise, she shared her love for the farm's seagulls and the golden sunset over fields. We soon talked happily and became friends. I felt a little less lonely in this strange place. As the days passed, the "New Things I Love" grew longer and longer. I added Grandpa's gentle cows, the cheerful farm seagulls, my new friend and the amazing Rocky Mountains. One evening, I held my shell collection by the window. I realized home was not only the ocean but also the warm moments here. I was no longer just a "sea girl"— I had found my new home in the desert. 听力原文 Text 1 W: Why weren't you in school yesterday, Victor? M: Oh, I was really, really sick.

Text 2 W: Hey, George, are you interested in going to the car show? M: Yeah, I like it. When is it? W: It opens on Saturday morning. M: How about going in the afternoon? I want to sleep late.

M: Yes, would you please recommend something that a senior high boy will really like? W: Okay, I'd suggest the series of Harry Potter, sir. Harry Potter is popular among students these days.

She had got a traffic accident and the repairs to her car were really expensive. M: How much did you lend her? W: $1,000. M: Wow! Has she paid you back yet? W: Not yet.

How about you? W: I haven't taken mine yet. It's tomorrow morning. M: Aren't you in Dr. Anderson's class? W: Right. Do you know him? M: I had a class with him last semester. He's pretty tough. W: He sure is. That's why I'm a little worried about this exam. M: It probably won't be that bad. How was the midterm? W: A lot harder than I expected! I'm sure the final's going to be even worse. M: Well, I can help you study for it. I have time now, and I already know the kinds of questions Dr. Anderson likes to ask. W: Could you really? That would be great! M: I'll do my best. Text 9 W: Do you mind me asking how you heard about the openings? Did you see our ad in the newspaper? M: Actually I came to the diner with a friend last week, and as we were leaving, I saw the notice on the wall. I thought about it and decided to call you. W: Right. Well, as you know, we're looking for servers. M: Yes. W: So, can you tell me a bit about yourself? Are you employed at the moment? M: Yes, I'm an administrator at a college. But my contract ends on Friday, and I want to do something completely different. W: This would be very different, wouldn't it? And it's not particularly easy—you can get extremely busy sometimes. Do you have any kind of work experience related to waiting tables, like serving experience, or experience dealing with customers? M: I'm afraid I don't. But I am used to working under pressure, especially in my present job. I get overloaded. But I think I handle it pretty well. W: Okay, and you say you'll finish on Friday. That's the day after tomorrow, isn't it? So would you be able to start work right away if you were offered the job? M: Not exactly. I could start at the beginning of next month, though. I've got a doctor's appointment next week, and a few other things I have to take care of. That's all. W: Okay. Text 10 M: Hello, I'm Officer Brady, and I'll be your driver's education teacher today. The topic we will discuss is the danger of drunk driving. Each year, hundreds of people are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Sometimes police officers are able to pull over a vehicle before the drunk driver can hurt himself or others. However, over 50% of the car accidents we see annually are caused by persons who were behind the wheel after drinking. I personally lost a colleague who was on duty and hit by a drunk driver. It also breaks my heart to see that most of those who die in alcohol-related accidents are under 25. So, please don't end up as another body in the cemetery, and help us decrease the number of car accident victims by not drinking and driving. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这里是英语课听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。Why weren't you in school yesterday?

Today, the topic we will discuss is the danger of drunk driving. Each year, hundreds of people are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Sometimes police officers are able to pull over a vehicle before the drunk driver can hurt himself. For others, however, over fifty percent of the car accidents we see annually are caused by persons who were behind the wheel. After drinking, I personally lost a colleague who is on duty and hit by drunk driver. IT also breaks my heart to see that most of those who die in alcohol related accidents are under twenty five, so please don't end up as another body in the cemetery and help us decrease the number of car accident victims by not drinking and driving.
