A篇 答案:21-23 CAC
话题:一则关于运用机器学习技术进行生物多样性声音监测的科研岗位招聘
文章大意:本文介绍了圣地亚哥动物园野生动物联盟招聘一名从事生物声学研究的机器学习博士后的相关信息,包括职位概述、核心职责、具体技能要求和工作优势等。
【解析】
21.细节理解题。根据文章标题“Bioacoustics Researcher”及第一段“...seeking a Post-Doctoral Associate in machine learning for a three-year bioacoustics project”和第二段“...apply their skills to problems like identifying species in field recordings...”可知,该职位的核心工作是运用机器学习技术,通过分析野外录音(声音数据)来识别物种、解决生物声学问题。选项C“使用机器学习分析声音数据”准确概括了这一核心职责。A项“照料熊猫和北极熊的健康”偷换了概念,文中“polar bears”是研究项目涉及的对象,并非职责;B项“改进社交媒体的数据分析方法”歪曲了目的,原文“improving data analysis methods”针对的是科研数据,而非社交媒体;D项“给大学教员授课”曲解了文末“与大学教员合作”的关系。故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The ideal candidate holds a doctoral degree in computer science or a related field, with a focus on machine learning.”可知,最理想的候选人背景是拥有聚焦于机器学习的博士学位。选项A“一个专注于机器学习的博士学位”与此完全一致。B项“管理秘鲁亚马逊项目的经验”利用了原文地点作为干扰,但岗位要求是数据分析而非项目管理;C项“兽医学博士学位”利用了“兽医”这一关联概念,但并非此技术岗位的首选;D项“具备生物多样性监测的强大技能但没有博士学位”与原文必须拥有博士学位的硬性要求直接矛盾。故选A。
23.推理判断题。题干要求找出最可能导致申请失败的情形。根据第四段“Strong skills in Python programming and experience with tools like PyTorch are required.”可知,拥有如PyTorch这类机器学习框架的经验是硬性要求。因此,缺乏此类经验(C项)将直接导致申请不符合基本条件。A项“拥有Python编程技能”是原文明确要求的优势,不会导致失败;B项“提议在野外收集新数据集”与原文“将使用现有数据集”的工作描述相悖,但尚未构成对核心要求的否定;D项“愿意与多元化的合作者共事”是原文提到的职位优势,属于加分项。相比之下,C项是唯一直接违背明确“必需”条件的情形,故其导致失败的可能性最大。故选C。
21-23 CAC
B篇
答案:24-27 CCBA
话题:人生转折与自我发现
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文,作者回忆了童年时因不擅长小提琴且意外损坏乐器,被严厉的音乐老师要求离开乐队,转而加入合唱团的经历。这一看似挫折的转变,却连锁反应般地让她通过合唱团获得了为校报写作的机会,最终发现了自己对写作的真正热情。通过多年后与成为小提琴家的朋友的对比,作者感慨并感激这次意外的人生转向。
【解析】
24.细节理解题。根据文章第二段与第三段的描述,“One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke.”以及“Scared of Mr. Baumgartner's reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore.”可知,作者离开学校管弦乐队是因为她损坏了小提琴并且自己未能妥善修复。选项A“她对拉小提琴失去兴趣”文中未提及;选项B“她想加入合唱团”是老师在她被乐队除名后的建议,并非原因;选项D“她的朋友艾琳比她好得多”文中无依据。故选C。
25.细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容,“Later, the junior high chorus held auditions for the All City Honor Chorus, and I was one of only five girls from my school to audition. Because of this, I made the chorus.”可知,作者加入合唱团后,最初的直接成果是她成功入选了“全城荣誉合唱团”。选项A“她立刻发现了歌唱天赋”与原文“even though I didn’t have a great voice”矛盾;选项C“她决定成为一名专业歌手”属于无中生有;选项D“她开始为报纸写文章”是后续事件,并非加入合唱团的“最初”结果。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句“However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more.”可知,当作者第一次看到自己的文字被印刷出来时,她产生了想要继续写作的强烈愿望,这体现了她内心的自豪和坚定。选项A“惊讶但冷漠”与文意相反;选项C“对过去的选择后悔”与全文感恩的基调不符;选项D“担心别人的看法”文中未体现。故选B。
27.主旨大意题。通览全文,作者的核心经历是:在拉小提琴上遭遇失败(损坏乐器、被乐队除名),却因此被迫转向合唱团,并意外地通过合唱团发现了自己对于写作的热爱与才能,最终找到了人生方向。文章结尾的感慨与对比,更是强化了“一个领域的失败可能开启另一领域的成功之门”这一主题。选项A准确地概括了这一人生启示。选项B“严格的老师对学生发展至关重要”只是故事中的一个元素,并非核心主旨;选项C“童年友谊塑造未来职业”夸大了朋友的作用;选项D“天赋比努力更重要”并非作者想传达的信息。故选A。
D答案:32-35 CDDA
话题:对黑猩猩“理性信念修正”能力的再发现
文章大意:这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于黑猩猩认知能力的研究,挑战了人类理性思维独特性的传统观点,并探讨了该研究在理解人类推理进化以及动物保护方面的意义。
【解析】
32.推理判断题。根据文章第三段““When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study. (该研究的合著者汉娜·施莱豪夫(Hanna Schleihauf)说道,“当初始证据足够有力时,黑猩猩会坚持它们最初的选择;而当新证据明显优于最初证据时,它们会改变自己的选择。”)”可知,黑猩猩的选择行为会根据新旧证据的强弱进行权衡后做出决策。故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. (她的团队还结合了计算机模型,以证明黑猩猩的反应与理性的信念修正策略相符,确保它们进行的是真正的推理,而不仅仅是偏信最近的证据。)”可知,研究者使用计算机模型是为了验证并确认黑猩猩的行为确实符合理性信念修正的模式。故选D项。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第五段第一句““Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. (施莱豪夫(Schleihauf)进一步说道,“最引人注目的是,黑猩猩还表现出对证据的元认知敏感性。”)”以及最后一句“These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed. (这些发现表明,黑猩猩的推理能力比我们之前认为的更接近我们。)”可以推知,施莱豪夫(Schleihauf)认为研究结果揭示了黑猩猩令人印象深刻的高层次认知能力。故选D项。
35. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句““Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. (施莱豪夫(Schleihauf)说,“在黑猩猩身上证明理性信念修正,为理解人类推理的进化提供了一个强有力的比较基线。”)”以及最后一句“She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos. (她补充说,这项研究对动物保护和福利很重要,因为它进一步证明了保护黑猩猩的合理性,提高了研究和保护中的道德标准,并呼吁在保护区和动物园创造更多能激发认知的环境。)”可知,该段落着重强调了这项研究在理解人类自身以及动物保护实践方面的实际意义和价值。故选A项。
C篇
答案:28-31 CDBA
话题:对流行“超级食物”健康宣称的科学审视与批判性消费
文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了黑巧克力被广泛认为的健康益处,指出这些益处更多基于营销和一厢情愿的想法,而非坚实的科学依据。
【解析】
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower.(黑巧克力,主要是固体可可,被广泛认为是一种更健康的零食,人们认为它有降低血压和提高智力的好处)”可知,关于黑巧克力,人们普遍认为它有助于身体健康。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第四段“Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar.(至关重要的是,从商业黑巧克力中获取高比例的黄烷醇会带来严重的缺点。为了抵消可可的苦味,制造商添加了大量的糖)”可知,从黑巧克力中摄取黄烷醇会导致糖的摄入量增加。故选D项。
30.词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. (最终,黑巧克力那些备受称赞的健康益处似乎更多植根于市场营销和一厢情愿的想法,而非robust的科学)”可知,划线词“robust”与“marketing and wishful thinking (营销和一厢情愿的想法)”形成对比,用来修饰“science”,应指“坚实的、可靠的”科学证据,与B项“Solid”意思相近。故选B项。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,文章开篇第一段“Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower. These claims are largely linked to flavanols, compounds abundant in cocoa. However, a closer look at the scientific evidence suggests that we should be careful about eating dark chocolate.(人们普遍认为,以固体可可为主的黑巧克力是更健康的零食,常被认为具有降低血压、增强脑力等益处。这些说法主要与可可中富含的黄烷醇化合物有关。然而,仔细审视科学证据会发现,我们对食用黑巧克力应持谨慎态度)”即引出对黑巧克力健康宣称的质疑。随后,文章第二、三段分析相关科学证据的薄弱之处,第四段揭示其高糖高脂的健康风险,最后一段总结其健康益处更多源于营销。全文核心在于揭示关于黑巧克力健康的“苦涩真相”。A项“The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate (黑巧克力的苦涩真相)”准确概括了这一主题,是文章最佳标题。故选A项。

七选五 36-40 EAFDG
话题: 基于实证心理学方法的个人积极心态培养策略
文章大意:本文提供了几种通过练习来培养积极心态的实用方法:重新解读负面经历、利用身体姿态、对他人心怀同情以及寻求专业治疗师的帮助。
【解析】
36.上文“One of the mistakes people make is trying to avoid or ignore negative experiences. (人们犯的错误之一就是试图避免或忽视负面经历)”指出了人们对待负面经历的常见错误方式。E选项“This makes sense, on some level, because they’re painful (这在某种程度上说得通,因为它们很痛苦)”承接上文,解释了人们为何会犯这种错误(因为负面经历是痛苦的,所以想逃避是人之常情)。这为下文“However, trying to avoid... actually damages...”的转折提供了铺垫,先承认其合理性,再指出其危害,使论述更全面、有说服力。故选E项。
37.下文“Your body and your mind are connected. If you’re struggling to feel positive, it could be because your body is working against you. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy has shown that your posture can affect the levels of stress hormones in your body. Try standing up straight. Hold your shoulders back and your chest forward. Hold your gaze in front of you. (你的身体和心灵是相连的。如果你难以感到积极,可能是因为你的身体在拖你的后腿。社会心理学家艾米·卡迪的研究表明,你的姿势会影响体内压力荷尔蒙的水平。试着站直。肩膀向后,胸部向前。目光直视前方)”详细阐述了身体姿态(如站姿、肩膀、胸部、目光)如何影响心理状态和压力水平。A选项“Use your body (利用你的身体)”位于段首,作为小标题,准确概括了下文的核心内容——通过有意识地调整身体姿态来促进积极心态。故选A项。
38.上文“Try standing up straight. Hold your shoulders back and your chest forward. Hold your gaze in front of you. (试着站直。肩膀向后,胸部向前。目光直视前方)”列举了具体的身体姿势调整方法。F选项“These “power poses” can help you feel more confident and optimistic (这些“能量姿势”可以帮助你感到更自信和乐观)”顺承上文,通过“These “power poses””指代上文描述的具体姿态,并总结了这些姿态带来的积极心理效果(增强自信和乐观),是对本段建议的最终落脚点。故选F项。
39.上文“Compassion is doing something kind for someone else, especially if that person is less fortunate than you are. It can really boost your positivity. (同情心是为他人做一些友善的事,尤其是当那个人比你不幸时。它真的能提升你的积极性)”定义了同情心并说明了其益处。D选项“Think of ways that you can serve others (思考你可以服务他人的方式)”顺承上文,给出了将同情心付诸实践的具体建议,即思考如何“serve others (服务他人)”。下文“whether it’s on an individual level or in your community, and practice showing compassion. (无论是在个人层面还是在你的社区中,并练习展现同情心)”则是在D选项基础上的进一步说明(服务的范围和练习)。故选D项。
40.上文“A common misperception is that people only need to see a therapist when there’s something wrong. (一个常见的误解是,人们只有在出了问题的时候才需要去看治疗师)”指出了一个关于看治疗师的普遍误解。G选项“Actually, you go to the doctor for annual checkups even if you’re not sick (事实上,即使你没有生病,你也会每年去看医生做体检)”通过类比(看医生做体检),有力地反驳了上述误解,说明了寻求专业帮助也可以是预防性的、维护整体健康的正常行为。这与下文“seeing a therapist can also be a helpful preventive technique (看治疗师也可以是一种有用的预防技巧)”的观点完全一致,并为该观点提供了生动的例证。故选G项。

话题:人工智能驱动的高精度作物基因功能预测与智能育种
文章大意:本文主要讲述了一个中国研究团队开发的深度学习工具DeepWheat,其作用、原理及应用效果。
【解析】
56.考查定语从句关系词。句意:一个中国研究团队开发了一种名为DeepWheat的深度学习工具,它可以帮助植物种植者高度准确地预测决定植物特征的部分。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是DeepWheat,指物,在从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词which。故填which。
57.考查名词。句意:一个中国研究团队开发了一种名为DeepWheat的深度学习工具,它可以帮助植物种植者高度准确地预测决定植物特征的部分。with high accuracy为固定短语,意为“高度准确地”,所以空处需用名词accuracy。故填accuracy。
58.考查副词。句意:这是非常有用的,因为像小麦这样的作物有一套非常庞大的遗传物质——大约是水稻的40倍,是人类基因组大小的5倍。空处需用副词作状语修饰形容词large,remarkable的副词为remarkably“非常,极其”。故填remarkably。
59.考查形容词比较级。句意:这是非常有用的,因为像小麦这样的作物有一套非常庞大的遗传物质——大约是水稻的40倍,是人类基因组大小的5倍。根据空后than可知,空处需用形容词big的比较级bigger“更大的”。故填bigger。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:为了解决这种复杂性,该团队将两个核心模型集成到一个工具中。本句已有谓语动词built,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;结合句意可知,空处需用动词不定式作目的状语,句首首字母需大写。故填To address。
61.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:DeepWheat可以找出改变基因如何影响植物,并清楚地预测这些变化。结合前文的can find out可知,本句陈述事实,句子需用一般现在时态,how引导宾语从句的主语是动名词短语changing genes,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填affects。
62.考查冠词。句意:例如,一个水稻基因可能会增加花的数量,但如果它过于活跃,就会削弱茎。此处表示泛指一个水稻基因,所以空处需用不定冠词a/an,rice是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:DeepWheat提供了一个更好的选择:让研究人员持续运行计算机模拟来测试所有可能的基因变化的系统,让他们在实际实验之前发现有用的调整,提高精度并节省精力。keep doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“持续做某事”,所以空处需用动名词running。故填running。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:该工具在水稻和玉米上成功测试后,已被证明对许多作物有效。本句已有谓语动词has proved,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;由空后“in rice and corn”可知,空处动词与其逻辑主语the tool之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词tested作状语,句首首字母需大写。故填Tested。
65.考查介词。句意:通过构建更好的基因网络,DeepWheat减少了这种权衡,加速了优良性状的组合,并作为一种实用的AI解决方案,用于开发高品质作物。serve as为固定短语,意为“充当,担任”,所以空处需用介词as。故填as。

Dear Chris,
I can’t wait to share with you a piece of good news. Our class has won a prize in the school English newspaper’s poster contest on the theme “Traditional Festivals in Modern Ways”!
Our poster presented the Spring Festival in a “green” way—with fewer fireworks and more eco-friendly decorations like reusable red lanterns and paperless blessings. We aimed to show how young people in China are celebrating traditions while caring for the environment.
Through this experience, I’ve learned more about the importance of protecting our planet in daily life. Working together with classmates also made me realize how teamwork helps turn creative ideas into reality.
What do you think of our “green festival” idea? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
高分范文
Just as the dirt was about to cover the capsules, Mia suddenly stepped forward. She raised her hand to stop the others, her eyes fixed on Ben. With a shaky voice, she told the story of the science lab incident—how she’d knocked over the antique microscope, how Ben had silently taken the blame, and the guilt that had haunted her ever since. As she spoke, her gaze never left Ben’s, and tears glistened in her eyes. The courtyard grew quiet, with only the rustle of oak leaves accompanying her words.
After telling the truth, Mia felt a light tap on her shoulder. She turned to see Ben, his previous sadness replaced by a calm expression. “I’ve waited three years to hear you say that,” he said softly. Mia felt the weight in her chest lift instantly, a wave of relief washing over her. She smiled back at Ben, then bent down to place her envelope into the hole—no longer carrying regret, but the peace of finally telling the truth.
文章大意:本文以校园橡树“记忆银行”埋时光胶囊为线索展开,讲述了Mia在毕业埋胶囊时,坦白三年前碰坏显微镜、让Ben担责的往事,最终获得释然与Ben的谅解的故事。
【解析】

There’s a moment in figure skating that goes beyond sport: when blades (冰刀) cut into ice, music begins, and a story unfolds without a single spoken word. It’s in that space that figure skating reveals its deeper poetry: the courage to rise, risk, fall, and rise again. And the incredible story of 24-year-old American figure skater Maxim Naumov maintains this courage, both on and off the ice.
Naumov’s journey to the 2026 Winter Olympics has been extraordinary-not only for the medals or the competition, but for how he arrived there. His parents, Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, were not only world-class pair skaters but his first coaches, his guides, and the heartbeat behind his lifelong dream. However, on January 29, 2025, they were among the 67 people tragically killed when American Eagle Flight 5342 hit a U. S. Army helicopter in the air near Washington, D.C.
The loss of not just his parents but his closest supporters could have ended Naumov’s skating career before it truly began. After their deaths, he was unwilling to even try for the Olympic team. However, somehow, the young skater managed to find the courage to take to the ice once more on a competitive level.
Naumov’s return to the ice began with a performance at Legacy on Ice in April, where he moved crowds as he fell to his knees in tears at the end. And in his second piece he set his choreography (编舞) to an unlikely choice: Ave Maria. And with this song, he acknowledged his parents, mouthing “I love you” without sound, as he performed his routine.
When Naumov spoke of qualifying in third place for the Olympic team, his gratitude was grounded not in “personal achievement” alone, but in “shared meaning”. He spoke of his parents’ presence with him still — not as a distant memory, but as a guiding force. Naumov didn’t just perform. He offered something that touched the hearts of those watching: even in loss, there can be strength and hope.
4. What does the author intend to stress about figure skating in paragraph 1?
A. It is a highly competitive sport. B. It requires great physical strength.
C. It combines skills with emotion. D. It is popular among young people.
5. What made Naumov almost give up his skating career?
A. Lack of professional guidance. B. Serious physical injury.
C. Suffering from a traffic accident. D. Enormous mental sorrow.
6. What is the main reason for Naumov choosing Ave Maria in his performance?
A. It carried his longing for parents. B. It was his parents’ favorite song.
C. It was a rare choice for skaters. D. It could help him win the game.
7. What did Naumov mean by saying “shared meaning” in the last paragraph?
A. He valued teamwork above medals. B. He shared the honor with his parents.
C. He won the champion like his parents. D. He owed his success to external causes.
C
Memory experts say that short, temporary instances of forgetfulness, often called “senior moments”, are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays. Many of us find it increasingly difficult to recall simple things; names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a while, common words that should come easily, or even how to carry out routine actions that once seemed like second nature.
The massive amount of information flooding in from various digital channels is occupying our brains. We are constantly scrolling our phones while doing other things, which neuroscientists say makes it extremely hard to encode memories in the first place. As Sara C. Mednick, a neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, explains, our brains are like computers with too many tabs open at the same time. This slows down our processing power, and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result.
Lasting and accumulated stress also has a significant impact on memory. Recent life stressors have been found to impair people’s memory, as stress negatively affects attention span and sleep, both of which are closely linked to memory performance. Worse still, long-term stress can damage the brain and cause more lasting memory problems. Although memory declines with age, medical science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts. Some studies show that memory ability peaks in people’s 20s and declines gradually from then on, while others suggest the sharpest drop begins around age 60, since people age cognitively at different rates.
To boost memory, experts offer several practical suggestions. Forcing yourself to remember something is counterproductive because frustration will prevent your brain from restoring information effectively. Instead, you should calm down and try again later. Quitting multitasking and focusing on one task at a time helps reduce information overload. Daily meditation, slow deep breathing, walking in nature and enough sleep can strengthen your brain and improve memory function. Being fully present in conversations and giving others your full attention also helps you remember information more clearly.
8. Which of the following is “a senior moment”?
A. Failing to remember new information temporarily.
B. Refusing to recall unpleasant experiences on purpose.
C. Losing the ability to perform daily activities completely.
D. Forgetting the title of a book you read every day suddenly.
9. What is mainly responsible for memory problems according to Sara C. Mednick?
A. Too much information. B. Multiple tasks in a period.
C. The overuse of our brain. D. Heavy dependence on computers.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Stress does no good to memory.
B. Aging relates closely to memory problems.
C. Stress significantly reduces cognitive ability.
D. Memory declines steadily after one’s twenties.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Brain Health: Challenges and Values B. Memory Decline: Factors and Symptoms
C. Memory Loss: Causes and Solutions D. Senior Moments: Reasons and Consequences
D
For years, media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations. They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner. But is it as straightforward as it appears? In fact, bee numbers tell a tale of two trends.
In the United States, bee populations have encountered significant obstacles in recent decades. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), since the 1960s the number of honeybee colonies in the United States has dropped significantly from around 5.5 million to approximately 2.5 million. In contrast to the declines observed in the West, some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations. Several factors contribute to this positive trend:diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping. For instance, China -the world's largest honey producer-has significantly expanded its managed honeybee populations to meet growing global demand, which helps make up for declines in wild bee populations.
The idea of a global bee population collapse may not fully reflect the complexity of the situation. While some regions are experiencing alarming losses, others are seeing increases, demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes. Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices. Key measures include the use of health-boosting treatments to strengthen bees' immunity against pests and diseases, and the protection of diverse floral habitats to ensure a continuous and abundant food supply throughout the year. Meanwhile, countries experiencing population growth must remain alert to emerging threats to safeguard their long-term ecological progress and stability.
Bees play a vital role in global food security and biodiversity. Their future depends on our collective ability to adapt, innovate, and protect their habitats. Instead of focusing only on declines, we should also learn from and follow the success stories of growing bee populations around the world.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward media reports on bee population?
A. Fully supportive. B. Cautiously balanced.
C. Highly defensive. D. Openly dismissive.
13. What has led to the growth of bee populations in some Asian countries?
A. The diverse and growing number of wild bee populations.
B. The development of new technology in the beekeeping industry.
C. The favorable environment and the growing beekeeping industry.
D. The rising global demand for wild bee honey and its by-products.
14. What can be inferred about the efforts to address bee population decline?
A. Current measures have limited impact.
B. Scientific creativity plays a leading role.
C. Economic growth worsens ecological problems.
D. Targeted actions help turn around negative trends
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a detailed report on changes in bee populations.
B. To raise a warning about the collapse of bee populations.
C. To clarify trends in bee populations and suggest solutions.
D. To outline the problems in beekeeping and analyze the causes.

Just like humans, animals also grow wiser as they age. The bigmouth buffalo fish can reach 127 years old, the Greenland shark 392 years old, and some sponges can live for 10,000 years or more. ____16____ As animals get older, they behave differently depending on their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group.
____17____ Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are vulnerable to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks.
Eliminating the largest and most experienced animals can have significant consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn. They are arguing for a new approach called “longevity conservation.” ____18____
Older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, but they help look after young. ____19____ The theory was first studied in humans, and has also been explored in species like elephants and orcas.
The lead researcher, Keller Kopf, an ecologist at Charles Darwin University in Australia found that the more he examined different groups of animals, the more he stumbled on remarkable instances demonstrating the value of older creatures.
Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures. ____20____ They are also more familiar with dangers, like listening for lions.
The loss of old individuals can be a driving factor for many species threatened with extinction. Kopf and his co-authors call for “longevity conservation.”
A. However, old animals are in decline.
B. As a matter of fact, age is not just a number.
C. It demands that we prioritize life experience over genetic diversity.
D. For instance, older female elephants remember friends and enemies.
E. It needs the “living libraries” of inherited wisdom critical for survival.
F. This is known as the “grandmother hypothesis” for healthy populations.
G. Their enduring lives reveal nature’s hidden lessons in patience and adaptation.

But a few days later, I was ____24____ into my neighborhood’s Buy Nothing Group (BNG), for Fort Greene, Brooklyn. There are so many people per square mile that each ____25____ has its own BNG. I hadn’t used Buy Nothing much since being “accepted” into the ____26____, but one afternoon, my husband Dan wanted to go for a run and needed a ____27____ rain jacket. He planned to go to REI, but I wondered, “What if I ____28____ on Buy Nothing?” I opened the app, and like the universe was listening, someone had just posted a photo for a New Balance Men’s size M hyper-light rain jacket. Though there weren’t too many ____29____ yet, I wrote, “My husband is ____30____ for one at this very moment, and he can run over and pick it up ASAP!” I waited a few ____31____ moments for not knowing to get it or nor, and then received a reply that we had been ____32____. Thrilled, Dan ____33____ over to this woman’s apartment where she ____34____ the jacket from the second floor into his arms on the street.

Mareya’s name was a gift from her late beloved grandmother. The name, a link connecting her to the most important person in her life, meant “grace” in her grandma’s hometown dialect-a reminder of the kindness that bends but never breaks. She often thought of her grandma’s warm voice, telling stories under an old apple tree in the backyard-precious memories that lingered (萦绕)in her heart.
Every Saturday afternoon, Mareya would play soccer with her friends, which was a time filled with laughter and joy. One day, as they took a break, Jasmine, who had just watched an old musical, started singing a song playfully and repeatedly: “Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They call the wind Mar-eye-aaa! “ Ollie, always the most playful one, joked loudly: “Hey, Mareya! Is that your secret identity? Are you the wind?” The others burst into laughter, making up silly nicknames for her. They even begged her to “blow” the soccer ball into the goal.
Mareya forced a smile, but her heart ached. She knew they meant no harm, yet each tease felt like making fun of the love her grandma had given her. Weeks passed, and the “wind” jokes became routine. Her discomfort turned to sadness. She started making excuses to skip their weekly games, claiming homework or family obligations, but the loneliness that followed was almost as painful as the jokes themselves.
The breaking point came one warm Saturday. After their game, they gathered under a big apple tree. Sunlight filtered (透过) through the leaves exactly as it had in her backyard years ago, and the familiar ache in her chest sharpened into something she could no longer swallow. Ollie held up chips and yelled, “Hey, Wind Mareya, blow this bag open!" The group erupted into laughter.
Mareya couldn’t smile. She cherished their friendship, yet the pain of silence now outweighed her fear.

(原创)If I hadn't been a struggling violinist, I might have never become a writer. In fourth grade, my school had an orchestra program, and I eagerly signed up to learn the violin with my friend Irene. We both loved the idea of being in the orchestra and walked together to our music lessons every week.
Our orchestra teacher, Mr. Baumgartner, was strict. He told us that if we damaged our instruments, we'd be kicked out of the program because the school couldn't afford replacements. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at the violin. One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke.
Scared of Mr. Baumgartner's reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore. Instead, he suggested I join the glee club.
I switched to the glee club and found I enjoyed singing with others, even though I didn't have a great voice. Later, the junior high chorus held auditions for the All City Honor Chorus, and I was one of only five girls from my school to audition. Because of this, I made the chorus.
After a performance, my English teacher asked if anyone in the chorus wanted to write an article for the school newspaper. For some reason, I raised my hand. I loved reading, but I had never thought about writing before. However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more.
The next year, I became the editor of the school newspaper. I realized that writing was my true passion. Looking back, I understand that if I hadn't broken my violin and joined the glee club, I might never have discovered my love for writing.
Years later, I saw Irene at a reunion. She told me she had become a professional violinist in Australia. I thought, "That could have been me." But Mr. Baumgartner’s decision led me to a different path—one filled with words and stories. I'm grateful for that turn in my life and for Mr. Baumgartner's unexpected guidance.
24. What caused the author to leave the school orchestra?
A. She lost interest in playing the violin.
B. She wanted to join the glee club instead.
C. She damaged her violin and failed to repair it properly.
D. Her friend Irene became much better than her.
25. What was the initial result of the author joining the glee club?
A. She immediately discovered her talent for singing.
B. She was selected for a city-wide honor chorus.
C. She decided to become a professional singer.
D. She started writing articles for the newspaper.
26. How did the author feel when she first saw her writing published?
A. Surprised but indifferent.
B. Proud and determined to continue.
C. Regretful about her past choices.
D. Nervous about others’ opinions.

Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower. These claims are largely linked to flavanols (黄烷醇), compounds abundant in cocoa. However, a closer look at the scientific evidence suggests that we should be careful about eating dark chocolate.
While some short-term studies, frequently funded by chocolate companies, suggested potential advantages, their results have been inconsistent. More importantly, they are too brief to reveal the long-term effects of regular consumption. Observational studies, which simply note correlations (相关性), found that people who eat more dark chocolate tend to be healthier. But this could be because they often have higher incomes and better overall lifestyles, not because of the chocolate itself.
To settle the debate, a big randomized experiment was conducted. It involved older adults who took daily cocoa-flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were clear: the flavanols made no significant difference to the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. There was one positive note — a reduction in cardiovascular (心血管的) deaths — but this single outcome is not solid proof of benefit.
Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar. It means a person would also consume a substantial portion of the daily recommended limit of fat, which is known to raise cholesterol (胆固醇) and harm heart health. A far healthier way to get flavanols is from foods like apples, nuts, strawberries, or green tea.
Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. While enjoying it as an occasional treat is fine, relying on it as a health food is misguided. True wellness comes from a balanced diet rich in various fruits, vegetables, and beans—not from a single, sugary treat.
28. What is a common belief about dark chocolate?
A. It has inconsistent benefits. B. Its benefits come at a high cost.
C. It contributes to physical health. D. Its advantages rely on long-term intake.
29. What is a result of taking in flavanols from dark chocolate?
A. Faster fat burning. B. Resistance to cholesterol.
C. Reduction of cancer risks. D. Increase in sugar consumption.
30. What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Basic. B. Solid. C. Advanced. D. Emerging.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate
B. B. A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate
C. The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health
D. D. Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry

(新情景)The human capacity for rational (理性的) thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle. However, a growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought.
In a recent study, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimps (黑猩猩) with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack. They were initially given a clue as to which one had food. The team then provided the chimps with sequential (顺序的) clues of varying strength about which one contained a snack.
“When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study.
Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. Researchers typically associate this sort of reasoning with children around four years old.
“Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. Metacognition is awareness and understanding about our thinking processes. “They not only adjusted their choices, but did so in ways that suggest they tracked the evidential basis of their beliefs; when earlier evidence was defeated, they revised their belief accordingly,” she explains. These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed.
“Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. By identifying which aspects of rationality humans share with chimps and which are unique to us, researchers can better recognize which develop early in children, which depend on culture, and which rely on uniquely human forms of social learning. She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively (认知上) stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos.
32. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment?
A. They could ignore strong initial evidence.

(热点话题)A Chinese research team has developed a deep-learning tool called DeepWheat, ____56____ can help plant growers to predict the parts that decide plant features with high ____57____ (accurate). It uses AI to accurately predict how genes work in different plant parts and types of crops. This is very useful because crops like wheat have a ____58____ (remarkable) large set of genetic materials — about 40 times ____59____ (big) than rice’s, and five times the size of humans’.
____60____ (address) this complexity, the team built two core models into one tool. DeepWheat can find out how changing genes ____61____ (affect) plants and predict these changes clearly. Many crop genes can influence multiple traits (特征), sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad ones. For example, ____62____rice gene might increase the number of flowers but weaken the stems (茎) if it’s too active. Current gene-editing relies on tiring, blind trial and error. DeepWheat offers a better alternative: systems that enable researchers to keep ____63____ (run) computer simulations (模拟) for testing all possible gene changes let them spot useful adjustments before real experiments, improving precision and saving effort.
Successfully ____64____ (test) in rice and corn, the tool has proved effective for many crops.

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 ancient oak tree in the school courtyard served as the traditional “memories bank”. On the final day of senior year, students gathered to bury time capsules - letters to their future selves. Mia stood among them, clutching her sealed envelope with a heavy heart. Unlike others filled with hopes and dreams, hers contained a painful confession (忏悔) she had carried for three long years.
Her mind flashed back to the science lab, where her curiosity had led to disaster. Reaching for the school’s antique microscope, she accidentally knocked it from the table. It broke into two parts. She quickly picked them up and put them together. At this moment, the door opened revealing Ben, a quiet classmate, with Mr. Davies behind him. Ben came to fetch the microscope for an experiment. Hardly had he touched the microscope when it split into two parts.
To Mia’s astonishment, Ben quietly claimed responsibility. “I was moving it and it slipped,” he murmured, accepting the teacher’s disappointment that should have been hers. Mia watched in guilty silence as he bore the blame she deserved.
Now, watching Ben place his own letter in the hole and offer her a sad smile, Mia held the envelope tightly in her hand. The breeze rustled the oak leaves like whispering voices. She looked from the freshly dug earth to Ben’s figure, wondering if burying her truth was truly how she wanted to end her high school story.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as the dirt was about to cover the capsules, Mia suddenly stepped forward.

A
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了《The Art of Racing in the Rain》这部作品,以狗狗恩佐的视角展开叙述,讲述了它与主人丹尼一家共同经历的生活起伏与情感羁绊,展现了爱、忠诚与希望的主题。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Art of Racing in the Rain is set in Seattle and narrated (讲述) by Enzo, a dog with a human - like soul and an extraordinary understanding of the world.(《我在雨中等你》以西雅图为背景,由恩佐讲述,恩佐是一只拥有类似人类灵魂和对世界有着非凡理解的狗。)”可知,这个故事独特之处在于它是从一只狗的角度进行叙述的。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Chapter Summary部分中的Chapter 18(第18章)“Eve begins to experience severe headaches, which are eventually diagnosed as brain cancer. Despite her failing health, she tries to remain strong for her family. Tragically, Eve died of her illness, leaving Denny extremely upset and Zoe motherless.(伊芙开始出现严重头痛,最终被诊断为脑癌。尽管身体每况愈下,她仍努力为家人保持坚强。不幸的是,伊芙因病去世,丹尼非常难过,佐伊失去了母亲。)”可知,第18章展示了丹尼家庭最黑暗的时刻。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Enzo begins the story at the end of his life, reflecting on his time with Denny Swift and the challenges they have faced together. Enzo believes that life, like racing, requires balance, patience, and the ability to navigate through challenging conditions. The novel concludes on a hopeful note, with Enzo’s unyielding belief in the possibility of transformation and redemption (救赎).(故事开篇,恩佐已走到生命尽头,回忆着与丹尼・斯威夫特相伴时光,以及他们共同经历的种种磨难。恩佐认为,人生就像赛车,需要平衡、耐心,还要有在艰难处境中前行的能力。小说以充满希望的基调收尾,恩佐始终坚信,蜕变与救赎皆有可能。)并结合全文内容可知,文章介绍了小说《我在雨中等你》的故事背景、情节梗概等内容,由此可推知,这段文字可能来自一篇书评。故选C项。
B
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国花样滑冰运动员马克西姆·瑙莫夫在父母不幸遇难后,凭借勇气重返赛场并最终入选冬奥代表队的励志故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“There’s a moment in figure skating that goes beyond sport: when blades (冰刀) cut into ice, music begins, and a story unfolds without a single spoken word. It’s in that space that figure skating reveals its deeper poetry: the courage to rise, risk, fall, and rise again. (花样滑冰有一个超越运动的时刻:当冰刀切入冰面,音乐响起,一个故事在不言中展开。正是在那个空间里,花样滑冰展现出其更深的诗意:勇气——站起、冒险、跌倒、再次站起)”可知,作者在第一段想要强调的是花样滑冰结合了技巧与情感。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The loss of not just his parents but his closest supporters could have ended Naumov’s skating career before it truly began. After their deaths, he was unwilling to even try for the Olympic team. (失去的不仅是父母,更是他最亲密的支持者,这几乎让瑙莫夫的滑冰生涯在真正开始前就结束了。在他们去世后,他甚至不愿去尝试争取入选奥运代表队)”可知,巨大的精神悲痛让瑙莫夫差点放弃滑冰生涯。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“And in his second piece he set his choreography (编舞) to an unlikely choice: Ave Maria. And with this song, he acknowledged his parents, mouthing “I love you” without sound, as he performed his routine. (在他的第二个节目中,他选择了一个不太寻常的编舞曲目:《圣母颂》。伴随着这首歌,他在表演中向父母致意,无声地说出“我爱你们”)”可知,瑙莫夫选择《圣母颂》的主要原因是这首歌承载了他对父母的思念。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When Naumov spoke of qualifying in third place for the Olympic team, his gratitude was grounded not in “personal achievement” alone, but in “shared meaning”. He spoke of his parents’ presence with him still — not as a distant memory, but as a guiding force. (当瑙莫夫谈到以第三名的成绩入选奥运代表队时,他的感激之情不仅仅基于“个人成就”,还基于“共同的意义”。他谈到父母仍与他同在——不是作为遥远的记忆,而是一种指引的力量)”可知,瑙莫夫所说的“共同的意义”指的是他将这份荣誉与父母分享。故选B项。
C
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了记忆力衰退的原因以及提高记忆力的方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Memory experts say that short, temporary instances of forgetfulness, often called “senior moments”, are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays. Many of us find it increasingly difficult to recall simple things; names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a while, common words that should come easily, or even how to carry out routine actions that once seemed like second nature.(记忆专家表示,如今越来越多的人会出现短暂的、暂时性的健忘现象,这种现象常被称为“老年瞬间”。我们很多人发现自己越来越难以回忆起一些简单的事情,比如许久未见的朋友或同事的名字、那些本应容易记住的常用词汇,甚至是一些原本似乎已经司空见惯的日常行为的步骤)”可知,突然忘记日常熟悉的事物属于“老年瞬间”,突然忘记了你每天读的一本书的标题属于此类。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As Sara C. Mednick, a neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, explains, our brains are like computers with too many tabs open at the same time. This slows down our processing power, and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result.(正如加州大学欧文分校的神经科学家、认知科学教授Sara C. Mednick所解释的,我们的大脑就像同时打开了太多标签页的电脑。这会降低我们的信息处理能力,而记忆力也因此成为受损最严重的领域之一)”可知,Sara C. Mednick认为大脑被过度使用导致记忆问题。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although memory declines with age, medical science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts. Some studies show that memory ability peaks in people’s 20s and declines gradually from then on, while others suggest the sharpest drop begins around age 60, since people age cognitively at different rates.(虽然记忆力会随着年龄的增长而下降,但医学科学还没有就记忆力下降的确切时间得出明确的结论。一些研究表明,人们的记忆力在20多岁时达到顶峰,然后逐渐下降,而另一些研究则表明,记忆力下降最明显的开始时间是在60岁左右,因为人们的认知衰老速度不同)”可推知,衰老与记忆问题密切相关。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章首先介绍了记忆力衰退的现象(“老年瞬间”),然后分析了导致记忆力衰退的原因,如信息过载、压力过大等,最后提出了提高记忆力的方法。因此,“Memory Loss: Causes and Solutions(记忆力衰退:原因及解决方法)”适合作本文标题。故选C。
D
D篇【主题语境】人与自然——环境保护
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是针对媒体关于全球蜜蜂种群数量将全面下降的报道,作者通过呈现美国下降与亚洲增长这两类不同的趋势,指出问题并非如此简单,并进一步分析原因,提出通过针对性措施和借鉴成功经验来解决蜜蜂数量下降的问题。
第12题.B 观点态度。解析:文章开篇提出媒体关于蜜蜂数量下降的报道,随即用“But is it as straightforward as it appears?”进行质疑,接着通过列举美国下降和亚洲上升的数据,说明情况复杂。作者既承认部分地区存在下降,也指出部分地区数量在增长,并提出了相应的解决措施和展望。这种既不全面否定媒体报道,又通过事实进行补充和纠偏的态度,体现了“谨慎的平衡”。故选B。
第13题.C 细节理解。解析:根据第二段中“Several factors contribute to this positive trend:diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping.”可知,亚洲部分国家蜜蜂数量增长得益于多样化的自然景观、温和的气候(即有利的环境)以及商业养蜂业的扩张。选项C中的“favorable environment”对应前两个因素,“growing beekeeping industry”对应第三个因素。故选C。
第14题.D 推理判断。解析:根据第三段中“Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices.”以及随后列举的具体措施(如健康治疗、保护栖息地)可知,采取有针对性的行动可以帮助扭转下降的趋势。这与D选项“Targeted actions help turn around negative trends”一致。故选D。
第15题.C 主旨大意。解析:文章第一段提出蜜蜂数量问题并非表面那么简单,第二段通过对比数据澄清了全球有降有升的复杂趋势,第三段和第四段则针对不同地区(下降地区和增长地区)提出了相应的建议和展望。因此,作者的目的是“澄清蜜蜂数量的趋势并提出解决方案”。故选C。
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。

【20题详解】
由上文“Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures.(灵长类动物、鲸鱼、大象和群居狩猎动物都有年长的个体,它们携带重要的文化知识并维持社会结构。)”及下文“They are also more familiar with dangers, like listening for lions.(它们也更熟悉危险,比如听狮子的声音。)”可知,上文说明了年长个体携带重要文化知识和维持社会结构,下文进一步说明它们对危险的熟悉程度,本空应举例说明年长个体的具体作用。D选项“For instance, older female elephants remember friends and enemies.(例如,年长的雌性大象会记住朋友和敌人。)”符合语境,举例说明了年长女性大象的作用。故选D。

第36题.which 定语从句关系词。解析:分析句子结构,“many scholars regard as the earliest form of ice cream”是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Sushan。从句中缺少regard的宾语,指代物,且是非限制性定语从句,因此只能用which。
第37题.came 动词时态。解析:句子描述的是古代酥山名称的由来,属于过去发生的事情,因此谓语动词需要使用一般过去时。come的过去式是came。
第38题.combined 非谓语动词。解析:分析句子结构,“a small mountain of shaved ice”后跟“with milk, butter and sugar”是固定搭配。这里ice与combine之间是被动关系,意为“被混合了牛奶、黄油和糖的刨冰”,因此需要用过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰ice。
第39题.to make 非谓语动词。解析:分析句子结构,逗号后是主句“it was sometimes decorated...”,前面部分“and 59._____(make) it more popular...”在句中作目的状语,表示“为了使它在特殊场合更受欢迎”,因此需要用动词不定式形式。
第40题.further 词形转换(形容词变副词)。解析:far本身可作副词,但此处需要修饰动词developed,表示“进一步发展”。far的比较级further意为“进一步地”,符合语境,表示在原有基础上更深层次地发展。
第41题.cooling 非谓语动词(动名词作定语)。解析:空格后的methods是名词,需要形容词或名词来修饰。cooling methods意为“冷却方法”,其中cooling是动名词作定语,说明methods的用途或功能。
第42题.a 冠词。解析:分析句子结构,空格后的substance是对前面saltpeter(硝石)的解释说明,是同位语。saltpeter是可数名词,此处是首次提及,且表示泛指“一种物质”,因此需要用不定冠词a。
第43题.despite 介词。解析:分析句子逻辑,前半句说“使上层社会享受冷盘成为可能”,后半句说“天气本身并没有那么冷”,两者之间是让步关系。despite意为“尽管”,是介词,后面接名词性短语the fact that...,符合语法和语境。
第44题.was presented 动词时态和语态。解析:主语It (指Sushan)与present之间是被动关系,意为“被呈现”。根据上下文时态(shared是一般过去时),此处也应用一般过去时的被动语态,即was presented。
第45题.innovation 词形转换(动词变名词)。解析:空格前是定冠词the,后面是介词of,此处需要名词形式作reflected的宾语。innovate的名词形式是innovation,意为“创新”,符合句意“反映了中国古代人民的创新”。

参考范文
Good morning, everyone! Have you ever noticed how many of us rest our heads on the desks right after class? Of course, we all need a break, but those short naps don’t always help. In fact, they can sometimes make us feel even more tired afterwards.
To make better use of our ten-minute breaks, here are two simple ideas. Try doing some light stretches or taking a short walk along the corridor, which can improve blood flow and boost your energy. Alternatively, you can also look out of the window or have a short chat with a friend to relax your mind and get ready for the next lesson.
Let’s use our breaks wisely and stay energized together!
第二节 (满分25分)47.
【答案】
She took a deep breath and made her decision. With her eyes glistening with tears, she stood up straight and spoke in a trembling but firm voice. She told them gently that her name was a precious gift from her late grandmother, which meant grace in her hometown dialect. Every time they joked about her being the wind, she felt they were laughing at the deep love between her and her grandma. Her throat tightened as she spoke of the sweet memories under the old apple tree with her grandma. She lowered her head slightly, her hands twisting nervously, unable to hide her sadness.
The laughter faded away, regret and understanding in her friends’ eyes. Jasmine stepped forward quickly and hugged Mareya softly, apologizing sincerely. Ollie scratched his head in embarrassment, saying he never meant to hurt her. They all expressed their sorry and promised never to tease her name again. Mareya looked up, tears rolling down her cheeks, but a warm smile appeared on her face. Under the apple tree, friendship regained its warmth, and her heart felt light and peaceful once more.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Mareya的名字为线索展开,讲述了她因奶奶赠予的、寓意“优雅”的名字被朋友戏称为“风”,内心备受伤害,从强颜欢笑到逃避聚会,最终在苹果树下鼓起勇气向朋友倾诉,收获朋友理解与歉意,重拾温暖友谊的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她深吸一口气,做出了决定。”可知,第一段可描写Mareya鼓起勇气向朋友们解释名字的含义及自己内心的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“笑声渐渐消失,朋友们眼中流露出后悔与理解。”可知,第二段可描写朋友们意识到玩笑的不当,纷纷道歉并承诺不再取笑,Mareya感受到友情的温暖。
2. 续写线索 Mareya 深吸一口气下定决心——鼓起勇气倾诉名字的故事与内心伤痛——朋友们察觉错误露出悔意——主动道歉请求原谅—— Mareya被感动重拾友谊——苹果树下友谊重归温暖
