A. That’s a good idea B. I’m quite impressed with it C. It sounds ridiculous D. I couldn’t agree more 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——杰克，我想听听你对我的书面报告的意见。——我对它印象很深，但我有一个建议。 A.That’s a good idea那是个好主意；B. I’m quite impressed with it我对它印象很深；C.It sounds ridiculous它听起来很荒谬；D. I couldn’t agree more我完全同意。结合下文but I have one suggestion的转折可知，我对它印象很深。 2. She looked at the old house one last time; the childhood she ________ so fiercely existed now only in memory. A. has defended B. would defend C. had defended D. defended 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：她最后看了一眼那座老房子；她曾经如此强烈捍卫的童年，现在只存在于记忆中了。“she ________ so fiercel”是省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词the childhood。主句谓语动词existed为一般过去时，而捍卫defend这一动作发生在existed之前，表示“过去的过去”，因此定语从句的谓语动词需使用过去完成时（had + 过去分词）。 3. We have seen a lot of examples ________ the animals start to depend too much on humans. A. which B. where C. when D. why 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们已经看到了很多动物开始过度依赖人类的例子。分析句子可知，本句包含一个定语从句，先行词为examples，其在定语从句中作抽象地点状语，此需用关系副词where引导。 4. While going on your first trip to the UK is exciting, new and different customs ________ be confusing. A. should B. must C. can D. would 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：首次赴英旅行固然令人兴奋，陌生迥异的习俗可能让人感到困惑。A. should应该；B. must必须；C. can可能；D. would将会。情态动词can可用于肯定句中表示客观可能性，意为“有时会，可能会”。此处表示不同的风俗习惯客观上可能会让人感到困惑，can符合语境。 5. When you have a large, time-consuming task ________, you tend to put it off because you don’t really know where to start. A. completed B. complete C. completing D. to complete 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你有一项耗时繁重的任务要完成时，往往会拖延，因为不知从何下手。此处考查固定结构have sth. to do，表示“有某事要做”，其中动词不定式作后置定语修饰前面的名词，表示将要发生的动作。 6. Scientists have sounded a clear note of ________ regarding the technique’s high cost and ethical concerns. A. enthusiasm B. optimism C. indication D. caution 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：科学家们针对这项技术高昂的成本与伦理问题发出明确警示。A. enthusiasm热情；B. optimism乐观；C. indication迹象；D. caution谨慎，警示。结合“regarding the technique’s high cost and ethical concerns”可知，这项技术存在高昂的成本与伦理问题，用科学家们发出明确警示，用caution。 7. ________ carefully planned the budget may be, the project’s cost is still high, which is a real shame. A. Whenever B. However C. Whatever D. Whoever 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：无论预算规划得多么周密，这个项目成本依旧偏高，实在可惜。A. Whenever无论何时；B. However无论多么；C. Whatever无论什么；D. Whoever无论谁。空后为副词carefully，所以此处应用固定句型“however + adj./adv. + 主语 + 谓语”引导让步状语从句。 8. The entire sequence of events, as described by the three witnesses, ________ together gradually by the inspector. A. was being pieced B. have been pieced C. were pieced D. has pieced 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：正如三名目击者所描述的那样，整个事件的经过正被探长逐渐拼凑起来。设空处为主句谓语，主语“The entire sequence”与动词短语“piece ... together”之间为逻辑上的被动关系，需使用被动语态， 且描述过去正在发生的事情，应用过去进行时的被动语态。 9. She stared into the fog, trying to recall ________ used to lie beyond the river before the war changed everything. A. that B. whether C. what D. where 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：她凝视着浓雾，努力回想在战争改变一切之前，河对岸曾经是什么。空处引导宾语从句，作动词recall的宾语，且从句“________ used to lie”缺少主语，指代事物，需用what引导。 10. Despite being given only a 5% chance of survival, the patient made a full recovery ________. A. against all odds B. for his sake C. under no circumstances D. on a large scale 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管仅有5%的存活概率，这名病人终究冲破险阻痊愈了。A. against all odds冲破重重困难；B. for his sake为了他；C. under no circumstances绝不；D. on a large scale大规模地。结合极低存活率的背景和“the patient made a full recovery”可知，这里指病人冲破险阻痊愈了，against all odds符合语境。 11.

A. take charge of B. make way for C. give life to D. set foot on 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：社区花园项目让这片废弃的城市空间焕发了生机，将其从一个混凝土荒地变成了一个绿色社交中心。A. take charge of接管；B. make way for让路给；C. give life to赋予生命，使……焕发生机；D. set foot on踏上。根据下文“transforming it from a concrete wasteland into a green social hub”可知，该项目让原本荒废的地方重新变得有活力。give life to“使……焕发生机”，符合语境。 12.

A. absorbing B. involving C. wasting D. claiming 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：当台风袭击海岸时，巨大的海啸引起了严重的洪水，夺走了多达30万市民的生命。A. absorb吸收；B. involve涉及；C. waste浪费；D. claim夺走(生命))。根据the lives of up to 300,000 citizens可知，夺走了多达30万市民的生命。 13. Many people say social media has weakened face-to-face talks and made people feel more lonely; ________, it has connected groups that get left out. A. therefore B. overall C. nevertheless D. otherwise 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：很多人称社交媒体削弱了面对面交流，让人倍感孤独；然而，它也联结起了被边缘化的群体。A. therefore因此；B. overall总的来说；C. nevertheless然而；D. otherwise否则。结合语境可知，前文说社交媒体的负面影响，后文说它的正面作用，前后构成转折关系，空格处应表达“然而”，故用nevertheless。 14. Always blaming others for his mistakes at work, he was clearly ________ failure, no matter how talented he thought he was. A. bound for B. aware of C. pessimistic about D. sensitive to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他工作犯错总归咎他人，纵使自认才华出众，也注定走向失败。A. bound for注定走向；B. aware of意识到；C. pessimistic about对……悲观；D. sensitive to对……敏感。根据语境以及“Always blaming others for his mistakes at work”可知，这样做注定他会走向失败，bound for契合句意。 15. — Did the game stay exciting until the end? — Oh yes! ________.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time全程看得激动不已；C. They had a mind of their own有自己的想法；D.

The South Florida natives are regular racing partners who have competed in marathon events around the world to become one of the first Duo Teams — one athlete pushing the other in a wheelchair — to complete six Abbott World Marathon Majors together. Michael, 32, was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). “I saw other people doing all these races,” he said. “And I told my dad, ‘I want to do it too.’” So Michael competed in his first duathlon — a race with both biking and running — with his dad, Jim Sayih, as his partner. “We crashed a few times during the 30K bike ride, and I thought he was never going to want to do this ever again,” Jim said. But he said, “Hey Dad, there’s a 5K coming up. I want to do that one.” That tenacity (坚韧) has stuck with Michael. He’s gone on to do countless races — as seen from the many medals hanging in his bedroom. It was through Special Compass, a nonprofit which helps people with disabilities compete in athletic events, that Max met Michael. Max’s mom had passed away in 2017, and he decided to honor her by running the New York City Marathon — something his mom once did. “As I was training for that race, I met Michael,” he said. “There was a Special Compass 5K in Coral Gables and I went there and just got paired with him by chance.” And Michael’s spirit reminded Max of the person he was racing for: his mom. “I definitely think it was a sign from my mom. She brought Michael and me together,” he said. “It was so much part of who she was. She was energetic and maintained a positive attitude toward life, always focusing on the good rather than the bad. That’s exactly how Michael lives his life.” Since that first 5K race, Max and Michael have regularly partnered together for races, with Max biking or running while pulling or pushing Michael, who will often keep him in check. “Michael is always smiling, but then he starts to ask me if I’m doing OK, and as soon as he says ‘Max, are you doing OK?’, it means I’ve slowed down,” Max laughed. When asked how it feels to compete in these marathons with Max, Michael said, “It feels amazing...It feels like my wheelchair is gone.” 40. Why did Michael decide to participate in the races? A. He wanted to socialize more. B. He was inspired by other racers. C. He was encouraged by his father. D. He hoped to set an example for others. 41. What did Michael have in common with Max’s mom, according to Max? A. They both shared a positive outlook on life. B. They both enjoyed participating in marathons. C. They both had experience with serious illnesses. D. They both committed themselves to helping others. 42. What can be inferred from Michael’s question “Max, are you doing OK?” A. Michael’s cheerfulness reveals his sincere care for Max’s condition. B. Michael uses indirect questions to tell Max to be mindful of his pace. C. Michael’s constant smile masks his worry about Max’s performance. D. Michael pretends to be concerned to indirectly criticise Max’s slowness. 43. How does Michael feel during the races with Max? A. Tired but satisfied. B. Nervous but excited. C. Free and wonderful. D. Proud and honored. 44. What is the main intention of the author in writing this passage? A. To highlight the significance of marathon racing for personal remembrance. B. To celebrate the achievements of disabled athletes in global marathon events. C. To promote the role of non-profit organizations in supporting adaptive sports. D. To illustrate how shared ambition and mutual inspiration overcome obstacles. 【答案】40. B 41. A 42. B 43. C 44. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述身患脑瘫的迈克尔与搭档麦克斯因共同目标携手征战马拉松赛事，二人彼此鼓舞、相伴前行，凭借共同志向跨越身心阻碍的暖心故事。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段““I saw other people doing all these races,” he said. “And I told my dad, ‘I want to do it too.’” So Michael competed in his first duathlon (他说：“我看到别人参加各类赛事，便跟父亲说自己也想参赛。” 此后迈克尔迎来了自己的首次两项全能比赛)” 可知，迈克尔是受到其他参赛者的鼓舞才决定参赛。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文倒数第三段“She was energetic and maintained a positive attitude toward life, always focusing on the good rather than the bad. That’s exactly how Michael lives his life.(她精力充沛，始终以积极心态面对生活，凡事多看美好一面，迈克尔也正是这样生活的。)” 可知，迈克尔和麦克斯的母亲都拥有积极的人生态度。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文倒数第二段““Michael is always smiling, but then he starts to ask me if I’m doing OK, and as soon as he says ‘Max, are you doing OK?’, it means I’ve slowed down,” Max laughed.(麦克斯笑着说道：“迈克尔总是笑容满面，可一旦他问我状态如何，就意味着我的速度变慢了。”)” 可知，迈克尔借此委婉提醒麦克斯把控跑步节奏。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“Michael said, “It feels amazing...It feels like my wheelchair is gone.”(迈克尔说道：“这种感觉棒极了……仿佛轮椅已然不复存在。”)”可知，比赛时迈克尔内心畅快自在、感觉美好。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Michael Savih and Max Fink share a common goal: to make history together.(迈克尔・萨伊赫与马克斯・芬克有着共同目标：携手共创佳绩、书写别样历程。) ”及倒数第二段“Since that first 5K race, Max and Michael have regularly partnered together for races, with Max biking or running while pulling or pushing Michael, who will often keep him in check.(自从那场五公里赛事后，马克斯和迈克尔便经常搭档参赛。马克斯骑行或奔跑，推拉着迈克尔前行，迈克尔还常会提醒把控节奏。)”等内容可知，二人怀揣共同梦想，互相激励扶持，一同克服诸多困难坚持参赛，由此可知作者旨在说明共同的志向与彼此的鼓舞能够战胜重重阻碍。 C Humans naturally tend to think in a self-centered way, a tendency more common than we often realize. This self-centered bias, or egocentrism, can sometimes help but often makes us misunderstand others and harms our social interactions. One of the key insights into egocentrism comes from research by Lisa DeBruine at the University of Aberdeen. In her studies, volunteers were more likely to trust individuals who were like, or resembled, themselves. This phenomenon, rooted in the familiarity that such resemblance brings, suggests that people tend to be drawn to those who look like them because it creates a sense of comfort and trust. However, this bias also means that we may favor those who share our appearance over others, leading to partial judgments in diverse social situations. The work of Jason Mitchell at Harvard University further explores this egocentric bias, particularly in how we perceive those who we consider similar to ourselves. Mitchell’s studies used virtual characters with varying backgrounds, and he found that people are more likely to project their emotions, beliefs, and attitudes onto characters they perceive as similar, even when the similarities are surface-level. This projection is a mental shortcut that helps us manage complicated social situations, allowing us to quickly assess others based on perceived commonalities. However, this approach can lead to misunderstandings when we mistakenly believe that others share our exact viewpoints. Egocentric thinking, though useful in streamlining (简化) social interactions, often results in problematic judgments. For instance, just because someone shares our taste in music or political views doesn’t necessarily mean they share our broader values or emotional responses. This can lead to misguided assumptions and potentially tense relationships when our expectations are unmet. It becomes clear that while egocentric thinking helps us make sense of the world quickly, it also limits our ability to fully understand others. To address these issues, it’s essential to be aware of our own biases. Recognizing the limitations of egocentric thinking allows us to approach social interactions with more empathy and accuracy. By acknowledging that others may think and feel differently, we can develop deeper, more meaningful connections. In a world where social understanding is increasingly important, being mindful of our natural tendencies toward self-centeredness can help us build better relationships and enhance our social well-being. 45. What is one consequence of egocentric thinking in social contexts? A. It sharpens our insight into others’ emotional worlds. B. It guarantees appropriate responses in complex situation. C. It effectively prevents potential conflicts among strangers. D. It causes favouritism to those who resemble us physically. 46. What can be inferred about egocentric thinking from the text? A. It is an inborn trait that humans have developed through evolution. B. It serves as a double-edged sword in handling social relations. C. It simplifies our thoughts but complicates our emotions. D. It ensures accurate judgment in familiar surroundings. 47. Why does the author mention “music taste” or “political views” in Para.4? A. To show how people choose their friends in real life. B. To prove that shared hobbies strengthen relationships. C. To illustrate that surface similarities can be misleading. D. To explain why social interactions are becoming complex. 48. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Remain conscious of the impact of self-centeredness. B. Try to completely get rid of egocentric thoughts. C. Accept the fact that bias is unavoidable in life. D. Apply biased thinking to improve efficiency. 49. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of empathy in overcoming self-centered biases. B. The benefits of recognizing diverse perspectives in social interactions. C. The history and development of psychological research on egocentrism. D. The impact of egocentric thinking on social judgments and relationships. 【答案】45. D 46. B 47. C 48. A 49. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍自我中心思维的特性，结合相关研究阐述其对人们社交判断与人际关系造成的双重影响，并呼吁人们正视这类思维偏差，更好地与人相处。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“However, this bias also means that we may favor those who share our appearance over others, leading to partial judgments in diverse social situations.(然而，这种偏见也意味着我们会偏爱外貌与自己相像的人，进而在各类社交场景中做出片面判断。)”可知，自我中心思维会让人偏爱外形相似的人。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“This self-centered bias, or egocentrism, can sometimes help but often makes us misunderstand others and harms our social interactions.(这种自我中心偏见有时能起到作用，但往往会造成人际误解、损害社交关系。)”及第四段“Egocentric thinking, though useful in streamlining social interactions, often results in problematic judgments.(自我中心思维虽能简化人际交往，却常会造成偏颇判断。)”可知，自我中心思维方式处理人际关系时，利弊共存，是一把双刃剑。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Egocentric thinking, though useful in streamlining social interactions, often results in problematic judgments. For instance, just because someone shares our taste in music or political views doesn’t necessarily mean they share our broader values or emotional responses.(自我中心思维虽能简化人际交往，却常会造成偏颇判断。举例来说，即便他人和我们喜好一致、政见相仿，也不代表双方价值观与情感反应完全相同。)”可知，作者借此说明表面相似容易误导人们做出判断。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“To address these issues, it’s essential to be aware of our own biases.(想要解决这些问题，我们必须认清自身存在的思维偏见。)”可知，作者建议人们留意自我中心思维带来的影响。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“This self-centered bias, or egocentrism, can sometimes help but often makes us misunderstand others and harms our social interactions.(这种自我本位偏见，也就是自我中心主义，有时会带来益处，但往往会造成人际误解，损害人际交往。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕自我中心思维展开，论述其对社交判断以及人际关系产生的各类影响。 D In the 20th century, progress was defined purely by growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). It was believed that such growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. Politicians and economists claimed that solutions to poverty and pollution relied on never-ending growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. Growth is a natural phase of life, which is why people love to see children and trees grow. This biological affection led the West to adopt the mantra (准则) that “more is better”. Yet, nature demonstrates that nothing grows forever. Anything seeking infinite expansion will eventually destroy itself or its supporting system. Success lies in maturing, not just expanding. As biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus notes, a tree stops growing once it can no longer efficiently transport nutrients to the outermost tips of its branches. Its growth is bounded by a greater goal: sustaining the health of the whole organism. Despite this biological truth, our economies struggle to accept limits. The 20th-century abundance of cheap fossil fuels normalized rapid growth, making it seem natural and essential. Consequently, institutions and policies were designed to depend on permanent expansion. In other words, we have inherited economies that require growth regardless of whether or not it actually improves human thriving. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to restart growth when it becomes elusive (难以实现). Instead of pursuing excessive (过度的) growth, we must abandon this obsession and pursue well-being for all as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a novel conception of progress — replacing endless growth with a dynamic balance, one that meets the needs of every person while protecting our planetary home. Addressing inequality must be central to this new eco-social contract. Greater fairness reduces the national ecological footprint by restricting excessive consumption and prevents the dangerous concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few. By shifting focus from growth to distribution, we can build a regenerative economy. To achieve this, we must design policies that serve social and ecological well-being. A low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation should be guaranteed, supported by measures like personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. These ideas were once considered too radical (激进的) to be realistic. Today they are nothing less than essential. 50. The author cites the tree as an example in Para.2 to ________. A. show that the view “more is better” also applies to nature B. suggest that economic growth differs from natural growth C. explain how trees balance growth and resource distribution D. illustrate that unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable 51. What is the fundamental fault of the 20th-century economic mindset? A. It ignored the physical restrictions of energy and natural resources. B. It overestimated the role of technology in industrial production. C. It focused on quantitative increase regardless of qualitative boost. D. It failed to distribute resources fairly among different nations. 52. The underlined phrase “This requirement” in Para.3 refers to ________. A. the creation of institutional designs and policies B. the necessity of rapid economic growth at any cost C. the need for cheaper and more cost-effective energy D. the recognition of the limits of growth in economies 53. Which best describes the author’s tone when mentioning “desperate and often destructive measures”? A. Mild skepticism. B. Cautious optimism. C. Moral anger. D. Scientific judgement. 54. How does the concept of “dynamic balance” differ from “endless growth”? A. It prioritizes environmental protection over human needs. B. It accepts periodical contraction to maintain long stability. C. It relies on government intervention to control markets. D. It promotes rapid innovation to solve resource shortages. 55. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To list specific technical solutions for environmental problems. B. To argue that radical ideas are now mainstream due to urgency. C. To justify the practical value of the proposed eco-social contract. D. To criticize governments for being too slow in adopting new policies. 【答案】50. D 51. C 52. B 53. C 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要批判二十世纪以无限增长衡量发展的经济理念，指出无限制扩张难以长久，主张摒弃盲目增长执念，以动态平衡谋求人类福祉，构建兼顾社会公平与生态保护的新型发展模式。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Growth is a natural phase of life, which is why people love to see children and trees grow.(生长是生命的自然阶段，这也是人们乐于见证孩童与树木茁壮成长的原因。)”及“Yet, nature demonstrates that nothing grows forever. Anything seeking infinite expansion will eventually destroy itself or its supporting system.(然而自然界表明万物无法永久生长，一味无限扩张终将摧毁自身或赖以生存的体系。)”可知，列举树木例子是为说明无限制增长不具备可持续性。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“In the 20th century, progress was defined purely by growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP).(二十世纪人们单纯以收入、GDP 这类数量增长定义发展。)”以及第三段“In other words, we have inherited economies that require growth regardless of whether or not it actually improves human thriving.(换句话说，我们承袭下来的经济模式一味追求增长，全然不顾其是否真正增进民众福祉。)”可知，经济发展不顾实际福祉只求规模扩张，其根本弊端是只看重数量提升，忽视发展质量。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“In other words, we have inherited economies that require growth regardless of whether or not it actually improves human thriving.(换句话说，我们承袭下来的经济模式一味追求增长，全然不顾其是否真正增进民众福祉。)”可知，This requirement 指代不惜代价实现经济快速增长。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“This requirement has become so locked into economic theories and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to restart growth when it becomes elusive.(这种发展诉求已然深深根植于经济理论与大众期许之中。近几十年来，每当增长乏力，便会出现诸多铤而走险、往往极具破坏性的手段来刺激经济回升。)”可知,作者对此行为带有谴责愤慨的态度。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“replacing endless growth with a dynamic balance, one that meets the needs of every person while protecting our planetary home.(用动态平衡取代无限增长，兼顾人类需求与地球生态。)”及“Instead of pursuing excessive growth, we must abandon this obsession and pursue well-being for all as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal.(我们必须摒弃一味追逐过度增长的执念，以服务该目标制定政策，在繁荣发展的世界中谋求全体人类的福祉。)”可知，动态平衡摒弃一味追逐过度增长的执念,接纳阶段性收缩，以此维系长久稳定。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“A low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation should be guaranteed, supported by measures like personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. These ideas were once considered too radical to be realistic. Today they are nothing less than essential.(应当全力推进低碳零废弃产业转型，辅以个人碳配额、累进财产税等举措。这些理念曾被认为过于激进、脱离现实，如今已然成为必不可少的选择。)”可知，最后一段提出低碳转型、财富税收等配套政策，说明相关举措如今已是必然选择，作者意在论证这份生态社会契约具备现实推行价值。 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for my city-raised kids. The plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids might sound crazy, but I held tight to my own childhood outback memories: endless roads, starlit skies, and tales of mysterious creatures. For most of the journey, we felt annoyed: arguments over the window seat, complaints about sore legs and constant “how much longer?” questions. At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there, but stumbled (支支吾吾) when they asked if it ate kids. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six — I hadn’t expected them to find wonder in such simple things. They whispered in awe as a white egret (白鹭) glided across the water, and laughed when a frog leaped onto the wooden railing. That night, they pressed their faces to the motel window, just to watch the night trains roll past. In their eyes, everything was new and I was carried by their joy. Three days later, we arrived in Broken Hill. I dragged the kids to the mineral museum, feeling afraid that the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they lit up comparing colorful ore (矿石) samples to their Minecraft blocks. They ran their fingers over jagged crystals and begged for tiny mineral keychains. I bought them each one. The trip wasn’t perfect: hard mattresses, lukewarm showers, and a flat tire that delayed us an hour. But on Easter morning, I hid hand-painted eggs around our cheap room. The kids scrambled under the bed, dug through the dresser, and even checked the ice bucket — letting out joyful cries when they found each one. As I watched them share a chocolate egg, I realized I’d been trying to teach them about the outback’s vastness, but they’d taught me something better: a painted egg in a plain room can feel more like a gift than any grand view. 56. Why did the author organize a trip to the outback? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined phrase in Para.3 probably mean? (no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the author learn from the children in the last paragraph? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you expect from travel? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. To leave/give her kids/children lasting memories as she did. /She wanted to give her children the memories of the outback. /To create lasting memories of the outback. 57. Amazed/Surprised me./Astonished me. 58. The children found unexpected joy in the mineral museum. /The kids enjoyed the mineral museum unexpectedly. /The children’s unexpected joy in the mineral museum. 59. Happiness lies/is/can be found in small moments or things. /Small joys in simple things can be more meaningful than grand views. 60. I expect to step out of routine, enjoy myself in other ways of being, and return with a quieter mind. /I expect to relax and explore new places so that I can create happy memories. /I expect to see the unknown, so I feel alive in new rhythms and change how I see everyday life. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者带孩子前往澳大利亚内陆自驾旅行，旅途虽有波折，孩子们却从小事物里收获满满欢乐，也让作者领悟到平凡小事亦藏珍贵幸福。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for my city-raised kids.(我带着家人驱车三千公里从悉尼前往内陆，希望为在城市长大的孩子们留下难忘回忆)”可知，作者此行目的是为孩子打造难忘的旅途回忆。 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“I hadn’t expected them to find wonder in such simple things.(我从未料到他们能从这般平凡事物中发现乐趣)”可知，孩子兴致盎然的模样让作者倍感意外吃惊，深受触动，故knocked me for six表示“使我惊讶”。 【58题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第四段“I dragged the kids to the mineral museum, feeling afraid that the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they lit up comparing colorful ore (矿石) samples to their Minecraft blocks.(我带着孩子们来到矿物博物馆，心里担心他们会觉得无趣，可孩子们兴致勃勃，把各色矿石样本比作游戏里的方块)”可知，本段讲述孩子们在矿物博物馆收获了意外的快乐。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“As I watched them share a chocolate egg, I realized I’d been trying to teach them about the outback’s vastness, but they’d taught me something better: a painted egg in a plain room can feel more like a gift than any grand view.(当我看着他们一起分享那颗巧克力蛋时，我意识到自己一直试图向他们传授有关内陆地区广袤无垠的地理知识，但其实他们教会了我更重要的东西：在一个普通的房间里装饰着彩绘图案的鸡蛋，会比任何宏伟的景色都更能让人感受到它是份珍贵的礼物)”可知，作者明白美好往往蕴藏在细微小事之中。 【60题详解】 开放性题目。答案不唯一，言之有理即可。问：你对旅行有怎样的期许？请说明理由。根据原文最后一段“but they’d taught me something better: a painted egg in a plain room can feel more like a gift than any grand view.(但其实他们教会了我更重要的东西：在一个普通的房间里装饰着彩绘图案的鸡蛋，会比任何宏伟的景色都更能让人感受到它是份珍贵的礼物)”并结合作者带孩子前往澳大利亚内陆自驾旅行的经历，可回答：我希望跳出日常琐事，以全新方式享受生活，归来后内心沉静、胸襟开阔。/我期盼放松身心、探访新地，留存美好回忆。/我渴望见识未知事物，感受鲜活体验，改观对日常的认知。 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假设你是晨光中学高三学生李津。6月6日是“全国爱眼日”（National Eye Care Day），学校英语俱乐部正在举办主题为“Clear Sight, Bright Future”的征文活动。请根据以下你查询到的图表信息，写一篇稿件。 内容提示： （1）简要说明图表反映的现象，及其给学生的学习、生活带来的负面影响； （2）结合实际分析该现象产生的原因（如课业负担、户外活动、用眼习惯等）； （3）提出保护视力的具体建议（不少于两条）。 注意：（1）词数不少于120； （2）可适当加入细节，以使内容充实，行文连贯。 Clear Sight, Bright Future ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Clear Sight, Bright Future As we mark National Eye Care Day on June 6, a recent survey on myopia rates among Chinese students rings alarm bells. The data shows that while only 12.3% of 6-year-olds have myopia, the rate jumps to 46.5% among 10-12-year-olds and reaches a staggering 81.4% for 16-18-year-olds. This trend not only affects students’ daily lives but also creates barriers to future career choices, such as military service or certain technical fields. Several factors lead to this worrying rise. First, heavy academic pressure keeps students buried in textbooks for long hours, leaving little time for eye rest. Second, insufficient outdoor activity means less exposure to natural light, which is vital for eye health. Third, the widespread use of smartphones and computers, often with poor posture, strains eyesight further. To reverse this trend, we must take action. First, set aside at least two hours daily for outdoor activities to let our eyes relax in natural light. Additionally, maintain correct reading and sitting postures, and avoid using electronic devices in dim light. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以高三学生李津的身份，围绕全国爱眼日主题，结合学生近视率数据撰写一篇短文，参加主题为“Clear Sight, Bright Future”的征文活动，说明图表反映的现象，分析原因并提出保护视力的具体建议。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 障碍：barrier → obstacle 导致：lead to → contribute to 不充足的： insufficient → inadequate 趋势：trend → tendency 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：To reverse this trend, we must take action. 拓展句：Only by taking effective measures can we curb this worrying tendency. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The data shows that while only 12.3% of 6-year-olds have myopia, the rate jumps to 46.5% among 10-12-year-olds and reaches a staggering 81.4% for 16-18-year-olds.

The South Florida natives are regular racing partners who have competed in marathon events around the world to become one of the first Duo Teams — one athlete pushing the other in a wheelchair — to complete six Abbott World Marathon Majors together. Michael, 32, was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). “I saw other people doing all these races,” he said. “And I told my dad, ‘I want to do it too.’” So Michael competed in his first duathlon — a race with both biking and running — with his dad, Jim Sayih, as his partner. “We crashed a few times during the 30K bike ride, and I thought he was never going to want to do this ever again,” Jim said. But he said, “Hey Dad, there’s a 5K coming up. I want to do that one.” That tenacity (坚韧) has stuck with Michael. He’s gone on to do countless races — as seen from the many medals hanging in his bedroom. It was through Special Compass, a nonprofit which helps people with disabilities compete in athletic events, that Max met Michael. Max’s mom had passed away in 2017, and he decided to honor her by running the New York City Marathon — something his mom once did. “As I was training for that race, I met Michael,” he said. “There was a Special Compass 5K in Coral Gables and I went there and just got paired with him by chance.” And Michael’s spirit reminded Max of the person he was racing for: his mom. “I definitely think it was a sign from my mom. She brought Michael and me together,” he said. “It was so much part of who she was. She was energetic and maintained a positive attitude toward life, always focusing on the good rather than the bad. That’s exactly how Michael lives his life.” Since that first 5K race, Max and Michael have regularly partnered together for races, with Max biking or running while pulling or pushing Michael, who will often keep him in check. “Michael is always smiling, but then he starts to ask me if I’m doing OK, and as soon as he says ‘Max, are you doing OK?’, it means I’ve slowed down,” Max laughed. When asked how it feels to compete in these marathons with Max, Michael said, “It feels amazing...It feels like my wheelchair is gone.” 40. Why did Michael decide to participate in the races? A. He wanted to socialize more. B. He was inspired by other racers. C. He was encouraged by his father. D. He hoped to set an example for others. 41. What did Michael have in common with Max’s mom, according to Max? A. They both shared a positive outlook on life. B. They both enjoyed participating in marathons. C. They both had experience with serious illnesses. D. They both committed themselves to helping others. 42. What can be inferred from Michael’s question “Max, are you doing OK?” A. Michael’s cheerfulness reveals his sincere care for Max’s condition. B. Michael uses indirect questions to tell Max to be mindful of his pace. C. Michael’s constant smile masks his worry about Max’s performance. D. Michael pretends to be concerned to indirectly criticise Max’s slowness. 43. How does Michael feel during the races with Max? A. Tired but satisfied. B. Nervous but excited. C. Free and wonderful. D. Proud and honored. 44. What is the main intention of the author in writing this passage? A. To highlight the significance of marathon racing for personal remembrance. B. To celebrate the achievements of disabled athletes in global marathon events. C. To promote the role of non-profit organizations in supporting adaptive sports. D. To illustrate how shared ambition and mutual inspiration overcome obstacles. C Humans naturally tend to think in a self-centered way, a tendency more common than we often realize. This self-centered bias, or egocentrism, can sometimes help but often makes us misunderstand others and harms our social interactions. One of the key insights into egocentrism comes from research by Lisa DeBruine at the University of Aberdeen. In her studies, volunteers were more likely to trust individuals who were like, or resembled, themselves. This phenomenon, rooted in the familiarity that such resemblance brings, suggests that people tend to be drawn to those who look like them because it creates a sense of comfort and trust. However, this bias also means that we may favor those who share our appearance over others, leading to partial judgments in diverse social situations. The work of Jason Mitchell at Harvard University further explores this egocentric bias, particularly in how we perceive those who we consider similar to ourselves. Mitchell’s studies used virtual characters with varying backgrounds, and he found that people are more likely to project their emotions, beliefs, and attitudes onto characters they perceive as similar, even when the similarities are surface-level. This projection is a mental shortcut that helps us manage complicated social situations, allowing us to quickly assess others based on perceived commonalities. However, this approach can lead to misunderstandings when we mistakenly believe that others share our exact viewpoints. Egocentric thinking, though useful in streamlining (简化) social interactions, often results in problematic judgments. For instance, just because someone shares our taste in music or political views doesn’t necessarily mean they share our broader values or emotional responses. This can lead to misguided assumptions and potentially tense relationships when our expectations are unmet. It becomes clear that while egocentric thinking helps us make sense of the world quickly, it also limits our ability to fully understand others. To address these issues, it’s essential to be aware of our own biases. Recognizing the limitations of egocentric thinking allows us to approach social interactions with more empathy and accuracy. By acknowledging that others may think and feel differently, we can develop deeper, more meaningful connections. In a world where social understanding is increasingly important, being mindful of our natural tendencies toward self-centeredness can help us build better relationships and enhance our social well-being. 45. What is one consequence of egocentric thinking in social contexts? A. It sharpens our insight into others’ emotional worlds. B. It guarantees appropriate responses in complex situation. C. It effectively prevents potential conflicts among strangers. D. It causes favouritism to those who resemble us physically. 46. What can be inferred about egocentric thinking from the text? A. It is an inborn trait that humans have developed through evolution. B. It serves as a double-edged sword in handling social relations. C. It simplifies our thoughts but complicates our emotions. D. It ensures accurate judgment in familiar surroundings. 47. Why does the author mention “music taste” or “political views” in Para.4? A. To show how people choose their friends in real life. B. To prove that shared hobbies strengthen relationships. C. To illustrate that surface similarities can be misleading. D. To explain why social interactions are becoming complex. 48. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Remain conscious of the impact of self-centeredness. B. Try to completely get rid of egocentric thoughts. C. Accept the fact that bias is unavoidable in life. D. Apply biased thinking to improve efficiency. 49. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of empathy in overcoming self-centered biases. B. The benefits of recognizing diverse perspectives in social interactions. C. The history and development of psychological research on egocentrism. D. The impact of egocentric thinking on social judgments and relationships. D In the 20th century, progress was defined purely by growth, measured in terms of national income, or gross domestic product (GDP). It was believed that such growth was to be endless, an ever-rising curve. Politicians and economists claimed that solutions to poverty and pollution relied on never-ending growth. But unfortunately, this promise has not been delivered on. Growth is a natural phase of life, which is why people love to see children and trees grow. This biological affection led the West to adopt the mantra (准则) that “more is better”. Yet, nature demonstrates that nothing grows forever. Anything seeking infinite expansion will eventually destroy itself or its supporting system. Success lies in maturing, not just expanding. As biomimicry (仿生学) pioneer Janine Benyus notes, a tree stops growing once it can no longer efficiently transport nutrients to the outermost tips of its branches. Its growth is bounded by a greater goal: sustaining the health of the whole organism. Despite this biological truth, our economies struggle to accept limits. The 20th-century abundance of cheap fossil fuels normalized rapid growth, making it seem natural and essential. Consequently, institutions and policies were designed to depend on permanent expansion. In other words, we have inherited economies that require growth regardless of whether or not it actually improves human thriving. This requirement has become so locked into economic theories and public expectations that, over recent decades, we’ve witnessed desperate and often destructive measures designed to restart growth when it becomes elusive (难以实现). Instead of pursuing excessive (过度的) growth, we must abandon this obsession and pursue well-being for all as part of a thriving world, with policymaking that is designed in the service of this goal. This results in a novel conception of progress — replacing endless growth with a dynamic balance, one that meets the needs of every person while protecting our planetary home. Addressing inequality must be central to this new eco-social contract. Greater fairness reduces the national ecological footprint by restricting excessive consumption and prevents the dangerous concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands of a few. By shifting focus from growth to distribution, we can build a regenerative economy. To achieve this, we must design policies that serve social and ecological well-being. A low-carbon, zero-waste industrial transformation should be guaranteed, supported by measures like personal carbon allowances and progressive wealth taxes. These ideas were once considered too radical (激进的) to be realistic. Today they are nothing less than essential. 50. The author cites the tree as an example in Para.2 to ________. A. show that the view “more is better” also applies to nature B. suggest that economic growth differs from natural growth C. explain how trees balance growth and resource distribution D. illustrate that unlimited growth is not necessarily sustainable 51. What is the fundamental fault of the 20th-century economic mindset? A. It ignored the physical restrictions of energy and natural resources. B. It overestimated the role of technology in industrial production. C. It focused on quantitative increase regardless of qualitative boost. D. It failed to distribute resources fairly among different nations. 52. The underlined phrase “This requirement” in Para.3 refers to ________. A. the creation of institutional designs and policies B. the necessity of rapid economic growth at any cost C. the need for cheaper and more cost-effective energy D. the recognition of the limits of growth in economies 53. Which best describes the author’s tone when mentioning “desperate and often destructive measures”? A. Mild skepticism. B. Cautious optimism. C. Moral anger. D. Scientific judgement. 54. How does the concept of “dynamic balance” differ from “endless growth”? A. It prioritizes environmental protection over human needs. B. It accepts periodical contraction to maintain long stability. C. It relies on government intervention to control markets. D. It promotes rapid innovation to solve resource shortages. 55. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To list specific technical solutions for environmental problems. B. To argue that radical ideas are now mainstream due to urgency. C. To justify the practical value of the proposed eco-social contract. D. To criticize governments for being too slow in adopting new policies. 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for my city-raised kids. The plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids might sound crazy, but I held tight to my own childhood outback memories: endless roads, starlit skies, and tales of mysterious creatures. For most of the journey, we felt annoyed: arguments over the window seat, complaints about sore legs and constant “how much longer?” questions. At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there, but stumbled (支支吾吾) when they asked if it ate kids. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six — I hadn’t expected them to find wonder in such simple things. They whispered in awe as a white egret (白鹭) glided across the water, and laughed when a frog leaped onto the wooden railing. That night, they pressed their faces to the motel window, just to watch the night trains roll past. In their eyes, everything was new and I was carried by their joy. Three days later, we arrived in Broken Hill. I dragged the kids to the mineral museum, feeling afraid that the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they lit up comparing colorful ore (矿石) samples to their Minecraft blocks. They ran their fingers over jagged crystals and begged for tiny mineral keychains. I bought them each one. The trip wasn’t perfect: hard mattresses, lukewarm showers, and a flat tire that delayed us an hour. But on Easter morning, I hid hand-painted eggs around our cheap room. The kids scrambled under the bed, dug through the dresser, and even checked the ice bucket — letting out joyful cries when they found each one. As I watched them share a chocolate egg, I realized I’d been trying to teach them about the outback’s vastness, but they’d taught me something better: a painted egg in a plain room can feel more like a gift than any grand view. 56.
