Here are some top travel apps for you to use. Yelp When you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgements for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. Zomato In China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order delivery food through Zomato, too. Happy Cow If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and web- site help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. Tripadvisor You can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 1. What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A. They provide delivery services quickly. B. They expect users to promote their services. C. They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D. They base their recommendations on user reviews. 2. Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A. Yelp. B. Happy Cow. C. Tripadvisor. D. Zomato. 3. What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A. It is offered free of charge. B. It is linked to booking platforms. C. It recommends nearby attractions. D. It gives correct hotel rating information. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了一些顶级的旅游应用程序。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Yelp部分中的“It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews.(根据用户评论，它可以洞察企业和服务的质量，从餐馆到他们的工作方式。)”和Zomato部分中的“Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants.(Zomato是一个了不起的众包评论网站，主要针对餐馆。)”可知，Yelp和Zomato的共同之处是他们的推荐都基于用户评论。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Happy Cow部分中的“If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow.(如果你是一个不吃肉或鱼的人，甚至不使用动物产品，如肉，牛奶或鸡蛋，或者如果你只是在连续几天吃不太健康的食物后寻找健康的膳食选择，你一定会喜欢“开心牛”。)”可知，“开心牛”软件适合不吃肉食的人。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tripadvisor部分中的“Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks.(Tripadvisor也与许多预订网站建立了合作关系，这意味着一旦你搜索完酒店或餐馆，你通常只需再点击几下就可以预订它们。)”可知，Tripadvisor与其它旅行软件的不同之处是它与预订平台链接。故选B。 B I have always felt most comfortable in the classroom, and I enjoy the recognition from family and teachers for accomplishing a job well. Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. Throughout my life, I wanted to learn more than I wanted to be in a bunch of extracurriculars (课外活动). My academic journey continued at a community college, where I joined the student newspaper. In the newsroom, I discovered an engaging, fast-paced world that allowed me to never stop learning. It was just what I had expected. Now my transfer (转学) to Drake University for a journalism degree was a no-brainer. It was exciting to see my future become clear, but I never pictured the shock waves headed my way. The campus phenomenon known as “Drake Busy” was completely unexpected. The term describes the idea that constant busyness is the main indicator of college success. Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers (同伴) were. I saw students trying to balance multiple jobs and organizations alongside schoolwork. As a student used to having confidence in the classroom, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and worsened my anxiety. I spent my first term struggling with doubts about my worthiness. My anxious thoughts tricked my mind into believing lies like “You’re not good enough.” A part of my mind realized those thoughts were not true, but that sensible voice was a whisper compared to the shouts of doubt. As a witness to this battle every day, I have learned that sometimes it just takes time to chip away at my mind’s inventions. In time, I recognized that my experience as a transfer student was different but valuable. The outsider perspective helped me tackle “Drake Busy”. I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. I wanted to shake them and say, “Why do this to yourself?” Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own lane. The pressure didn’t disappear, but my need to give in to it did. I realized that my worth wasn’t calculated by the number of meetings on my calendar, but by the real satisfaction I felt in my work. On the days I managed to balance my ambition with my peace of mind, I felt most motivated. I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you. 4. Before entering Drake University, the author ________. A. adopted a relaxing lifestyle B. longed to become a teacher C. struggled to choose a major D. performed well academically 5. How did the author feel within the first week at Drake University? A. Unaccustomed. B. Relieved. C. Regretful. D. Expectant. 6. What does the author think of the “Drake Busy” lifestyle? A. It lowers students’ learning efficiency. B. It indicates students’ future success. C. It threatens students’ well-being. D. It erases students’ self-doubt. 7. What message does the passage deliver? A. Outsiders rarely win. B. Your own pace matters. C. Busyness equals worthiness. D. Your anxiety drives you forward. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者从社区学院转学到德雷克大学后，面对校园内“Drake Busy”现象带来的压力与焦虑，最终学会按照自己的节奏生活、重新找到自我价值的心路历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. (虽然我是一个成绩优异的学生，但我并不是一个参加所有社团的学生。)”可知，作者在转学之前学业上表现优异。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers were. (在第一周内，我感到巨大的压力，要以同伴们所有的活跃方式去参与活动。)”以及“As a student used to having confidence in the classroom, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and worsened my anxiety. (作为一个习惯在课堂上有自信的学生，我感到这种新标准威胁到了我的身份认同，并加剧了我的焦虑。)”可知，作者第一周感到不适应这种全新的校园氛围。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. (我看到人们试图做太多事情，却以牺牲自己的幸福感为代价。)”可知，作者认为“Drake Busy”这种生活方式威胁到了学生的身心健康。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own lane. (我不再与潮流对抗，最终学会了在自己的泳道里游泳。)”以及“I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you. (我发现：真正的成功是由内心定义的，而非周围的喧嚣。)”可知，文章传达的信息是：走自己的路、按照自己的节奏生活才是最重要的。 C Now, devices called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have got better than ever before at translating thoughts from people with speech difficulties. In previous uses of BCIs, researchers asked patients who couldn’t speak to try to physically form words. This generated so-called “attempted speech” signals in the brain — signals that were picked up by electrodes (电极) placed in the brain and interpreted by means of a computer algorithm. This process, however, could be tiring and uncomfortable for users, as Erin Kunz, an electrical engineer at Stanford University, says. So Kunz and her team decided to investigate if implanted electrodes could pick up a patient’s inner voice. If so, this could make device operation easier for users. But this research was also meant to investigate questions around privacy. Could these devices also pick up unintentional speech? After all, our inner voices might articulate things we don’t want others to know. To protect users’ privacy, they chose a passphrase to activate the device. It was unlikely to come up in everyday speech: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The technology would start translating thoughts when it detected the phrase. In the tests, researchers asked participants with speech difficulties to either try to say seven specific words or merely think them. Then they trained a computer system on signals from participants thinking words from a 125,000-word vocabulary. When participants thought sentences with these words, the technology produced words with an error rate of 26 to 54 percent, making it the most accurate inner speech translation to date. “It’s a fantastic advance,” says Christian Herff, a researcher at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, adding that the technology not only helps people who can’t speak but also improves scientists’ understanding of how language works. But the researchers say they’re not done yet. They’re working toward even better outcomes. “The results are an initial proof of concept more than anything,” Kunz says. “We haven’t hit the ceiling yet.” 8. What was the purpose of using BCIs according to Paragraph 2? A. To detect and translate brain signals. B. To check patients’ inner speech ability. C. To analyze attempted speech physically. D. To train patients to form words correctly. 9. What does the underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Ignore. B. Hide. C. Express. D. Compare. 10. What is the breakthrough in the new research on BCIs? A. Improved inner speech interpretation. B. The application of electrode technology. C. BCIs’ working without computer support. D. An extensively expanded word database. 11. What can we learn about the research from the last paragraph? A. It has achieved all its goals. B. The technology is still in its early stage. C. The error rate remains the biggest barrier. D. Its focus has shifted to language theory. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学家通过捕捉“内心声音”的信号，显著提高了脑机接口翻译语言障碍患者想法的准确率，这项研究带来了新的希望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This generated so-called “attempted speech” signals in the brain — signals that were picked up by electrodes (电极) placed in the brain and interpreted by means of a computer algorithm.(这会在大脑中产生所谓的“尝试语音”信号——这些信号被放置在大脑中的电极捕捉到，并通过计算机算法进行解读)”可知，使用脑机接口的目的是为了检测并解读大脑信号。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“After all, our inner voices might articulate things we don’t want others to know.(毕竟，我们的内心声音可能会articulate我们不想让别人知道的事情)”可知，此处指内心声音可能会表达出不想被人知道的内心想法，即内心想法可能会被无意中泄露，故画线词articulate意为“表达”，与Express同义。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When participants thought sentences with these words, the technology produced words with an error rate of 26 to 54 percent, making it the most accurate inner speech translation to date.(当参与者用这些词语思考句子时，该技术生成的词语错误率在26%到54%之间，使其成为迄今为止最准确的内心语言翻译)”可知，这项新研究的突破在于改进了内心语言的解读正确率，使其准确率达到了前所未有的高度。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““The results are an initial proof of concept more than anything,”Kunz says. “We haven’t hit the ceiling yet.”(Kunz说：“这些结果主要只是初步的概念验证，我们还没有触及天花板。”)”可推知，这项技术目前仍处于早期阶段，还有很大的提升空间。 D When most people think of the Amazon rainforest, they picture towering trees, colorful birds, and winding rivers. But hidden beneath the canopy (天篷) is an equally rich world that has long been overlooked: the Amazon’s soil. For centuries, indigenous communities in the Amazon have cultivated what scientists now call terra preta — Portuguese for “black earth” — a dark, nutrient-rich soil that is strikingly different from the region’s typically poor, yellowish soils. The secret of terra preta lies in its creation. Indigenous farmers mixed charcoal, animal bones, broken pottery, and organic waste — such as food scraps and plant material—into the earth. Over time, microorganisms in the soil broke down this mixture, creating a self-sustaining, highly fertile ground that could support intensive farming for generations. Today, patches of terra preta can still be found across the Amazon basin, some dating back over 2,000 years. Modern scientists are paying close attention to terra preta for several reasons. First, the charcoal in the soil captures and stores carbon, keeping it out of the atmosphere. Researchers estimate that terra preta soils store three to six times more carbon than ordinary Amazonian soils. Second, the technique offers a sustainable model for tropical agriculture — one that does not require cutting down more forest. Instead of the “slash-and-burn” approach that destroys soil fertility within a few years, terra preta farming builds up the land over time. Despite its promise, large-scale adoption of terra preta techniques faces significant obstacles. Creating the soil requires a steady supply of organic waste, which is not always available in large quantities. Moreover, the ancient knowledge behind its production has been partly lost, and scientists are still working to fully understand the complex microbial processes involved. “We are essentially trying to recreate a technology that took indigenous people centuries to perfect,” notes Dr. Ana Silva, a soil scientist at the University of São Paulo. Still, the rediscovery of terra preta carries an important message: solutions to some of our most pressing environmental challenges may lie not in futuristic technologies, but in the wisdom of ancient cultures that learned to work with nature rather than against it. 12. What makes terra preta different from typical Amazonian soil? A. It contains more sand. B. It can only be found near rivers. C. It is dark in color and nutrient-rich. D. It is produced by modern technology. 13. Why are modern scientists interested in terra preta? A. It can help cut down more forests. B. It proves that ancient people were more intelligent. C. It is the only soil that can support tropical agriculture. D. It stores carbon and offers a model for sustainable farming. 14. What is a major obstacle to large-scale adoption of terra preta? A. The high cost of charcoal production. B. The lack of organic waste in sufficient quantities. C. The fact that it cannot store carbon for long periods. D. The unwillingness of indigenous communities to share their knowledge. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Ancient Soil Holds Modern Promise. B. Terra Preta Saves the Amazon Rainforest. C. The Amazon’s Soils Loses Their Fertility. D. Modern Technology Solves Ancient Problems. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了亚马逊雨林下的黑土，解释了其形成原因、对现代科学的价值以及大规模应用所面临的挑战，指出这种古老土壤为解决现代环境问题提供了新的希望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For centuries, indigenous communities in the Amazon have cultivated what scientists now call terra preta — Portuguese for “black earth” — a dark, nutrient-rich soil that is strikingly different from the region’s typically poor, yellowish soils.(几个世纪以来，亚马逊的土著群体培育了科学家现在称为“terra preta”的土壤——葡萄牙语意为“黑土”——这是一种深色、营养丰富的土壤，与该地区典型的贫瘠、淡黄色土壤截然不同。)”可知，terra preta与典型的亚马逊土壤的不同之处在于它颜色深且营养丰富。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“First, the charcoal in the soil captures and stores carbon, keeping it out of the atmosphere... Second, the technique offers a sustainable model for tropical agriculture...(首先，土壤中的炭捕获并储存碳，使其不进入大气……其次，该技术为热带农业提供了一种可持续模式……)”可知，现代科学家对terra preta感兴趣是因为它既能储存碳又能提供可持续农业模式。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Creating the soil requires a steady supply of organic waste, which is not always available in large quantities.(制造这种土壤需要稳定的有机废物供应，而这并不总是能大量获得。)”可知，大规模采用terra preta技术的一个主要障碍是缺乏足够数量的有机废物。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段“Still, the rediscovery of terra preta carries an important message: solutions to some of our most pressing environmental challenges may lie not in futuristic technologies, but in the wisdom of ancient cultures that learned to work with nature rather than against it.(尽管如此，terra preta的重新发现传递了一个重要信息：我们一些最紧迫的环境挑战的解决方案可能不在于未来的技术，而在于古代文化的智慧，即学会与自然合作而不是对抗自然。)”可知，文章主要介绍了亚马逊雨林古老的“黑土”及其对现代环境保护和农业发展的启示。A项“古代土壤蕴含现代希望”最能概括全文主旨。 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。 Life is full of setbacks, and learning to navigate them is a central task of growing up. Yet many young people today find themselves unprepared when things go wrong. “Psychological resilience” refers to the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well to adversity. ____16____ Instead of seeing it as a fixed trait that some people have and others lack, experts now view resilience as a set of skills that anyone can learn. Allow yourself to feel what you feel. When faced with a failure, the natural instinct is often to push away unpleasant emotions — to tell ourselves “I shouldn’t be this upset” or “I need to just get over it.” ____17____ Research shows that acknowledging and naming our emotions reduces their intensity. Instead of saying “I’m a failure,” say “I feel disappointed and frustrated right now.” This simple shift creates space between identity and emotion. Reframe the narrative. The stories we tell ourselves about our setbacks matter enormously. A student who fails an exam can label the experience as “proof that I’m not smart enough,” or reframe it as “a signal that I need to adjust my study methods.” ____18____ The first narrative leads to helplessness; the second opens the door to growth. Build a support network. Resilience is not a solo achievement. When young people feel they have to face their struggles alone, small setbacks can spiral into major crises. ____19____ Reaching out — whether to friends, family, or a trusted teacher — can transform a burden into a shared challenge. Connection reminds us that we are not broken; we are simply human. Practice self-compassion. ____20____ Treating oneself with the same kindness one would offer a close friend is not self-indulgence — it is wisdom. Research by Dr. Kristin Neff has shown that self-compassion, far from making people lazy, actually increases motivation and the willingness to try again. The path to resilience is not about becoming invulnerable, but about learning to bend without breaking. A. The key word here is “learn.” B. This, however, is often misleading. C. That is why high achievers never experience any self-doubt. D. The difference between these two interpretations is enormous. E. Curiously enough, the hardest person to forgive is often ourselves. F. Therefore, building resilience means avoiding negative emotions at all costs. G. Having someone who simply listens without judgment can be deeply healing. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了培养心理韧性的四个具体方法：接纳情绪、重构叙事、建立支持网络以及练习自我同情。 【16题详解】 根据前文““Psychological resilience” refers to the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well to adversity.(“心理韧性”指的是从困难中恢复并良好适应逆境的能力。)”以及后文“Instead of seeing it as a fixed trait that some people have and others lack, experts now view resilience as a set of skills that anyone can learn.(专家现在不再将其视为某些人拥有而另一些人缺乏的固定特质，而是将其视为任何人都可以学习的一套技能。)”可知，前后文讨论了心理韧性的定义及其性质的变化，后文强调了“learn”（学习）这一概念，指出韧性是可习得的技能。选项A“The key word here is “learn.”(这里的关键词是“学习”。)”承上启下。 【17题详解】 根据前文“When faced with a failure, the natural instinct is often to push away unpleasant emotions — to tell ourselves “I shouldn’t be this upset” or “I need to just get over it.”(当面对失败时，本能反应往往是推开不愉快的情绪——告诉自己“我不应该这么难过”或者“我需要赶紧克服它”。)”以及后文“Research shows that acknowledging and naming our emotions reduces their intensity.(研究表明，承认并确定我们的情绪可以降低其强度。)”可知，前文描述的是人们通常会回避或压抑情绪的本能做法，而后文通过研究结果指出了承认情绪的积极作用，说明前文的本能做法是不可取的。选项B“This, however, is often misleading.(然而，这往往具有误导性。)”起到了转折作用，对前文提到的“推开不愉快情绪”的做法进行了否定，引出后文关于正确处理情绪的建议。 【18题详解】 根据前文“A student who fails an exam can label the experience as “proof that I’m not smart enough,” or reframe it as “a signal that I need to adjust my study methods.”(一个考试不及格的学生可以把这种经历标记为“证明我不够聪明”，或者重新构建为“我需要调整学习方法的信号”。)”以及后文“The first narrative leads to helplessness; the second opens the door to growth.(第一种叙事会导致无助；第二种则打开了成长的大门。)”可知，前文列举了面对挫折的两种不同解读方式，后文进一步分析了这两种方式带来的截然不同的后果。选项D“The difference between these two interpretations is enormous.(这两种解读之间的差异是巨大的。)”承上启下。 【19题详解】 根据前文“When young people feel they have to face their struggles alone, small setbacks can spiral into major crises.(当年轻人觉得必须独自面对挣扎时，小小的挫折可能会快速上升为重大危机。)”以及后文“Reaching out — whether to friends, family, or a trusted teacher — can transform a burden into a shared challenge.(寻求帮助——无论是向朋友、家人还是值得信赖的老师——都可以将负担转化为共同的挑战。)”可知，前文指出了孤军奋战的危害，后文建议寻求外界帮助。选项G“Having someone who simply listens without judgment can be deeply healing.(有一个仅仅倾听而不加评判的人可以具有深度的治愈作用。)”承接了前文关于独自面对困难的话题，引出后文的寻求帮助，符合本段建立支持网络的话题。 【20题详解】 根据段落标题“Practice self-compassion. (练习自我同情。)”以及后文“Treating oneself with the same kindness one would offer a close friend is not self-indulgence — it is wisdom. (用对待密友的同样善意对待自己，这不是自我放纵——而是智慧。)”可知，本段主要讨论要对自己宽容、善意。选项E“Curiously enough, the hardest person to forgive is often ourselves. (奇怪的是，最难原谅的人往往是我们自己。)”指出了人们往往对自己最为苛刻的普遍现象，这与段落主题“自我同情”紧密相关，同时也说明了要练习自我同情的原因，引出下文。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Everyone in our family agreed on one thing: my grandmother’s beef noodle soup was the best in the city. It wasn’t a restaurant dish — she made it in her small kitchen with a pot that had been in the family for three generations. Relatives would often ____21____ her apartment for a bowl. When I was seventeen, I finally asked her to teach me. She agreed, but on one ____22____: no notebooks, no measurements. “You learn just with your hands,” she said, placing flour before me. For weeks, my hands were ____23____, my noodles thick in one place and paper-thin in another. She would simply shake her head and say, “Again.” I grew ____24____, my arms aching from repetition, but never said so. There was something in the way she watched me work — a calm expectancy — that kept me ____25____ there. One evening, as the broth (肉汤) simmered, she told me the pot’s ____26____. Her own grandmother had carried it from the north during the war. “She fed eight children from this pot during the hardest winters,” my grandmother said, stirring slowly. “She said a good broth could ____27____ more than just the stomach. It kept their spirits from freezing.” I looked at the pot ____28____ after that. Every scratch on its surface was a story of hunger survived, of meals that had held a family ____29____ when little else could. I realized the pot didn’t just hold heat, it held the past and the bond that made us family. The first time I made the noodles alone — truly alone, while she sat quietly in the corner and watched — I was so nervous that my hands ____30____. But the dough moved under my palms as if it remembered the ____31____ my grandmother had been teaching all along. When I finally ladled (舀) the soup into bowls, steam rising in soft curls, she took a sip and closed her eyes. The ____32____ before she spoke was the longest of my life. “Good,” she said. “The broth remembers.” I make the noodles now for my own children. The pot still holds heat like a ____33____, and every time I lift the ladle, I think of her. My grandmother passed away three years ago, but her hands are still ____34____ mine. That bowl of noodles wasn’t just a meal — it was the way our family said “you ____35____”, the way we gathered and remembered and held each other up, one spoonful at a time. 21.

I realized the pot didn’t just hold heat, it held the past and the bond that made us family.”可知，作者意识到锅背后的意义后，对这个锅的看法发生了改变，不再把它仅仅当作做饭工具。 【29题详解】 考查副词和形容词。句意：它表面的每一道划痕都是一个关于在饥饿中生存的故事，关于在没有其他方法时让一家人聚在一起的饭菜。A. together在一起；B. alive活着的；C. steady稳定的；D. hopeful有希望的。根据后文“the bond that made us family”可知，这里强调食物将家人凝聚在一起，hold together意为“团聚、团结”。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：我第一次独自做面条——真的是独自一人，而她静静地坐在角落里看着——我紧张得手都在发抖。A. ached疼痛；B. slipped滑倒；C. shook颤抖；D. froze冻结。根据前文“I was so nervous”可知，手抖是紧张时的常见反应。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：但面团在我的手掌下移动，仿佛它记得祖母一直以来教导的那种节奏。A. tradition传统；B. noodle面条；C. recipe食谱；D. rhythm节奏。根据上文“learn just with your hands”可知，祖母让作者用手反复学习揉面的动作，这会形成独特的一种节奏。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：在她开口之前，那段停顿是我一生中最漫长的时刻。A. concern担忧；B. pause停顿；C. respect尊重；D. glance一瞥。根据后文“before she spoke was the longest of my life”可知，祖母喝了一口汤后没有马上说话，而是闭上了眼睛，停下来感受食物的味道。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：那口锅像记忆一样留住了热度，并且每次我举起勺子，我都会想起她。A. memory记忆；B. dream梦想；C. secret秘密；D. gift礼物。根据前文“it held the past and the bond that made us family”和后文“think of her”可知，作者通过这口锅回忆起祖母和家族的历史，锅承载着过去的记忆。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：我的祖母三年前去世了，但她的手仍然在指导着我的手。A. using使用；B. watching观看；C. comforting安慰；D. teaching教导。根据前文“You learn just with your hands”和上文祖母生前教作者做面可知，此处表达的是祖母虽已离世，但她的教导依然影响着作者，仿佛她的手仍在指导作者的动作。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：那碗面条不仅仅是一顿饭——它是我们家庭表达“你属于这里”的方式，它让我们聚在一起、一次一勺地回忆和拥抱对方。A. try尝试；B. belong属于；C. matter要紧；D. deserve值得。根据前文“the bond that made us family”和全文主题，这碗面是家庭凝聚力的象征，是家族传统的传承和亲情的纽带，吃面意味着成为这个家庭传统的一部分，表达的是一种归属感。 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。 On December 18, 2025, a significant news conference ____36____ (hold) in Beijing, during which the city announced that official work permits had been issued to robot chefs, allowing them to prepare meals in public areas.

Riya was smart and excellent in her studies. Not only that, she was always ready to help others. One day when Riya entered her classroom, she saw a crowd admiring her friend Mary’s new pen and talking cheerfully. Riya fell in love with that pen at first glance and hoped to get Mary’s permission to let her use it. Seconds later, the school bell rang, sending the children to the playground for morning exercises. After a while, their teacher Grace let Riya fetch some chalk from the classroom, where Riya once again saw Mary’s pen lying on the desk. Riya picked it up and went to her desk. She was ready to write in her book when she heard the sound of someone walking by. Without thinking, she put the pen in her pocket and saw who it was. It was Jane, her other friend, who was returning to the classroom. Riya immediately ran out of the room noiselessly and went to the playground. The morning exercise finished and everyone went to class, followed by their teacher Grace. The moment Mary found her pen was missing, she got annoyed. Without delay, she ran to the front and complained to Grace in tears, “Someone must have stolen my new pen.” Telling the noisy class to be quiet, Grace asked them who had been in the classroom during the exercise. Almost everyone pointed at Jane, who said she had felt uncomfortable when exercising and had come back to rest. Grace asked Jane if she had taken Mary’s new pen, to which Jane firmly said no, insisting she knew nothing about it. But she had nobody to prove her words. Being suspected and feeling sad, Jane burst out crying. This had all happened fast and unexpectedly before Riya suddenly realized the pen was still in her pocket. She froze on the spot, afraid of being treated as a thief. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: But Riya knew what was the right thing to do. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Grace nodded and patted Riya on the back with a relieved smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 But Riya knew what was the right thing to do. Gathering every bit of her courage, she collected herself and made her way to the stage where Grace was standing. She then explained the situation in detail to the whole class, acknowledging her desire to appreciate the beautiful pen and how thoughtless she had been. “Sorry, Jane. It was my actions that led to the misunderstanding,” she said. Her voice trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks. She then apologized to Mary, “I’m truly sorry for taking your new pen without permission.” As Riya finished speaking, a heavy silence filled the classroom. She turned towards Grace then, bowing her head. Grace nodded and patted Riya on the back with a relieved smile. Tenderly wiping the tears from Riya’s cheeks, Grace addressed the whole class calmly, “Making a mistake is not terrible. What truly matters is having the courage to admit it. Riya has set a good example.” Upon hearing this, the class apologized to Jane for treating her as a thief and applauded Riya for her honesty. Eyes glowing with sincerity, Mary said to Riya, “I can share my new pen with you.” Overwhelmed with relief, Riya thanked Mary with a heartfelt smile. The bell rang at the end of the class, but the lesson about being honest would last forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以诚实为线索。Riya看到同学Mary买的新钢笔，她非常喜欢这支钢笔，于是趁大家在操场上晨练的时候悄悄拿起Mary的钢笔准备用一下，这时Jane回到教室了，Riya出于慌张而把钢笔放进自己口袋里。后来全班同学都指认Jane是小偷，Riya勇敢承认错误并获得了原谅。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Riya做出坦白决定，公开解释误会并道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写老师赞扬了Riya的道歉行为，全班同学也为误会Jane而向她道歉，Riya也收获了Mary的原谅， 2. 段落续写： 坦白经过——道歉——老师赞扬道歉行为——全班向Jane道歉——Mary原谅Riya 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①镇定下来：collect oneself/calm down ②承认：acknowledge/admit 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerity/genuineness ②衷心的：heartfelt/sincere 【点睛】【高分句型1】Gathering every bit of her courage, she collected herself and made her way to the stage where Grace was standing.(使用了现在分词作状语、where引导定语从句) 【高分句型2】She then explained the situation in detail to the whole class, acknowledging her desire to appreciate the beautiful pen and how thoughtless she had been.

Here are some top travel apps for you to use. Yelp When you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgements for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. Zomato In China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order delivery food through Zomato, too. Happy Cow If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and web- site help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. Tripadvisor You can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 1. What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A. They provide delivery services quickly. B. They expect users to promote their services. C. They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D. They base their recommendations on user reviews. 2. Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A. Yelp. B. Happy Cow. C. Tripadvisor. D. Zomato. 3. What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A. It is offered free of charge. B. It is linked to booking platforms. C. It recommends nearby attractions. D. It gives correct hotel rating information. B I have always felt most comfortable in the classroom, and I enjoy the recognition from family and teachers for accomplishing a job well. Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. Throughout my life, I wanted to learn more than I wanted to be in a bunch of extracurriculars (课外活动). My academic journey continued at a community college, where I joined the student newspaper. In the newsroom, I discovered an engaging, fast-paced world that allowed me to never stop learning. It was just what I had expected. Now my transfer (转学) to Drake University for a journalism degree was a no-brainer. It was exciting to see my future become clear, but I never pictured the shock waves headed my way. The campus phenomenon known as “Drake Busy” was completely unexpected. The term describes the idea that constant busyness is the main indicator of college success. Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers (同伴) were. I saw students trying to balance multiple jobs and organizations alongside schoolwork. As a student used to having confidence in the classroom, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and worsened my anxiety. I spent my first term struggling with doubts about my worthiness. My anxious thoughts tricked my mind into believing lies like “You’re not good enough.” A part of my mind realized those thoughts were not true, but that sensible voice was a whisper compared to the shouts of doubt. As a witness to this battle every day, I have learned that sometimes it just takes time to chip away at my mind’s inventions. In time, I recognized that my experience as a transfer student was different but valuable. The outsider perspective helped me tackle “Drake Busy”. I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. I wanted to shake them and say, “Why do this to yourself?” Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own lane. The pressure didn’t disappear, but my need to give in to it did. I realized that my worth wasn’t calculated by the number of meetings on my calendar, but by the real satisfaction I felt in my work. On the days I managed to balance my ambition with my peace of mind, I felt most motivated. I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you. 4. Before entering Drake University, the author ________. A. adopted a relaxing lifestyle B. longed to become a teacher C. struggled to choose a major D. performed well academically 5. How did the author feel within the first week at Drake University? A. Unaccustomed. B. Relieved. C. Regretful. D. Expectant. 6. What does the author think of the “Drake Busy” lifestyle? A. It lowers students’ learning efficiency. B. It indicates students’ future success. C. It threatens students’ well-being. D. It erases students’ self-doubt. 7. What message does the passage deliver? A. Outsiders rarely win. B. Your own pace matters. C. Busyness equals worthiness. D. Your anxiety drives you forward. C Now, devices called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have got better than ever before at translating thoughts from people with speech difficulties. In previous uses of BCIs, researchers asked patients who couldn’t speak to try to physically form words. This generated so-called “attempted speech” signals in the brain — signals that were picked up by electrodes (电极) placed in the brain and interpreted by means of a computer algorithm. This process, however, could be tiring and uncomfortable for users, as Erin Kunz, an electrical engineer at Stanford University, says. So Kunz and her team decided to investigate if implanted electrodes could pick up a patient’s inner voice. If so, this could make device operation easier for users. But this research was also meant to investigate questions around privacy. Could these devices also pick up unintentional speech? After all, our inner voices might articulate things we don’t want others to know. To protect users’ privacy, they chose a passphrase to activate the device. It was unlikely to come up in everyday speech: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The technology would start translating thoughts when it detected the phrase. In the tests, researchers asked participants with speech difficulties to either try to say seven specific words or merely think them. Then they trained a computer system on signals from participants thinking words from a 125,000-word vocabulary. When participants thought sentences with these words, the technology produced words with an error rate of 26 to 54 percent, making it the most accurate inner speech translation to date. “It’s a fantastic advance,” says Christian Herff, a researcher at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, adding that the technology not only helps people who can’t speak but also improves scientists’ understanding of how language works. But the researchers say they’re not done yet. They’re working toward even better outcomes. “The results are an initial proof of concept more than anything,” Kunz says. “We haven’t hit the ceiling yet.” 8. What was the purpose of using BCIs according to Paragraph 2? A. To detect and translate brain signals. B. To check patients’ inner speech ability. C. To analyze attempted speech physically. D. To train patients to form words correctly. 9. What does the underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Ignore. B. Hide. C. Express. D. Compare. 10. What is the breakthrough in the new research on BCIs? A. Improved inner speech interpretation. B. The application of electrode technology. C. BCIs’ working without computer support. D. An extensively expanded word database. 11. What can we learn about the research from the last paragraph? A. It has achieved all its goals. B. The technology is still in its early stage. C. The error rate remains the biggest barrier. D. Its focus has shifted to language theory. D When most people think of the Amazon rainforest, they picture towering trees, colorful birds, and winding rivers. But hidden beneath the canopy (天篷) is an equally rich world that has long been overlooked: the Amazon’s soil. For centuries, indigenous communities in the Amazon have cultivated what scientists now call terra preta — Portuguese for “black earth” — a dark, nutrient-rich soil that is strikingly different from the region’s typically poor, yellowish soils. The secret of terra preta lies in its creation. Indigenous farmers mixed charcoal, animal bones, broken pottery, and organic waste — such as food scraps and plant material—into the earth. Over time, microorganisms in the soil broke down this mixture, creating a self-sustaining, highly fertile ground that could support intensive farming for generations. Today, patches of terra preta can still be found across the Amazon basin, some dating back over 2,000 years. Modern scientists are paying close attention to terra preta for several reasons. First, the charcoal in the soil captures and stores carbon, keeping it out of the atmosphere. Researchers estimate that terra preta soils store three to six times more carbon than ordinary Amazonian soils. Second, the technique offers a sustainable model for tropical agriculture — one that does not require cutting down more forest. Instead of the “slash-and-burn” approach that destroys soil fertility within a few years, terra preta farming builds up the land over time. Despite its promise, large-scale adoption of terra preta techniques faces significant obstacles. Creating the soil requires a steady supply of organic waste, which is not always available in large quantities. Moreover, the ancient knowledge behind its production has been partly lost, and scientists are still working to fully understand the complex microbial processes involved. “We are essentially trying to recreate a technology that took indigenous people centuries to perfect,” notes Dr. Ana Silva, a soil scientist at the University of São Paulo. Still, the rediscovery of terra preta carries an important message: solutions to some of our most pressing environmental challenges may lie not in futuristic technologies, but in the wisdom of ancient cultures that learned to work with nature rather than against it. 12.

Yet many young people today find themselves unprepared when things go wrong. “Psychological resilience” refers to the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well to adversity. ____16____ Instead of seeing it as a fixed trait that some people have and others lack, experts now view resilience as a set of skills that anyone can learn. Allow yourself to feel what you feel. When faced with a failure, the natural instinct is often to push away unpleasant emotions — to tell ourselves “I shouldn’t be this upset” or “I need to just get over it.” ____17____ Research shows that acknowledging and naming our emotions reduces their intensity. Instead of saying “I’m a failure,” say “I feel disappointed and frustrated right now.” This simple shift creates space between identity and emotion. Reframe the narrative. The stories we tell ourselves about our setbacks matter enormously. A student who fails an exam can label the experience as “proof that I’m not smart enough,” or reframe it as “a signal that I need to adjust my study methods.” ____18____ The first narrative leads to helplessness; the second opens the door to growth. Build a support network. Resilience is not a solo achievement. When young people feel they have to face their struggles alone, small setbacks can spiral into major crises. ____19____ Reaching out — whether to friends, family, or a trusted teacher — can transform a burden into a shared challenge. Connection reminds us that we are not broken; we are simply human. Practice self-compassion. ____20____ Treating oneself with the same kindness one would offer a close friend is not self-indulgence — it is wisdom. Research by Dr. Kristin Neff has shown that self-compassion, far from making people lazy, actually increases motivation and the willingness to try again. The path to resilience is not about becoming invulnerable, but about learning to bend without breaking. A. The key word here is “learn.” B. This, however, is often misleading. C. That is why high achievers never experience any self-doubt. D. The difference between these two interpretations is enormous. E. Curiously enough, the hardest person to forgive is often ourselves. F. Therefore, building resilience means avoiding negative emotions at all costs. G. Having someone who simply listens without judgment can be deeply healing. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Everyone in our family agreed on one thing: my grandmother’s beef noodle soup was the best in the city.

But the dough moved under my palms as if it remembered the ____31____ my grandmother had been teaching all along. When I finally ladled (舀) the soup into bowls, steam rising in soft curls, she took a sip and closed her eyes. The ____32____ before she spoke was the longest of my life. “Good,” she said. “The broth remembers.” I make the noodles now for my own children. The pot still holds heat like a ____33____, and every time I lift the ladle, I think of her. My grandmother passed away three years ago, but her hands are still ____34____ mine. That bowl of noodles wasn’t just a meal — it was the way our family said “you ____35____”, the way we gathered and remembered and held each other up, one spoonful at a time. 21.

Riya was smart and excellent in her studies. Not only that, she was always ready to help others. One day when Riya entered her classroom, she saw a crowd admiring her friend Mary’s new pen and talking cheerfully. Riya fell in love with that pen at first glance and hoped to get Mary’s permission to let her use it. Seconds later, the school bell rang, sending the children to the playground for morning exercises. After a while, their teacher Grace let Riya fetch some chalk from the classroom, where Riya once again saw Mary’s pen lying on the desk. Riya picked it up and went to her desk. She was ready to write in her book when she heard the sound of someone walking by. Without thinking, she put the pen in her pocket and saw who it was. It was Jane, her other friend, who was returning to the classroom. Riya immediately ran out of the room noiselessly and went to the playground. The morning exercise finished and everyone went to class, followed by their teacher Grace. The moment Mary found her pen was missing, she got annoyed. Without delay, she ran to the front and complained to Grace in tears, “Someone must have stolen my new pen.” Telling the noisy class to be quiet, Grace asked them who had been in the classroom during the exercise. Almost everyone pointed at Jane, who said she had felt uncomfortable when exercising and had come back to rest. Grace asked Jane if she had taken Mary’s new pen, to which Jane firmly said no, insisting she knew nothing about it. But she had nobody to prove her words. Being suspected and feeling sad, Jane burst out crying. This had all happened fast and unexpectedly before Riya suddenly realized the pen was still in her pocket. She froze on the spot, afraid of being treated as a thief. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: But Riya knew what was the right thing to do. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Grace nodded and patted Riya on the back with a relieved smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
