Then, at just five years old, Mary was further diagnosed with MPPH syndrome-a developmental brain disorder. She experienced great pain and was in and out of hospital every six weeks, with her family frequently going back and forth between their home and the hospital. Although life was challenging for Mary’s family, they were not alone. They had been aided by their local children’s hospital since 2018. The hospital offered Mary and her family a listening ear, financial help, and useful advice. It also connected them with other families looking after sick children. Later, Donna, a staff member from the children’s hospital, received the good news that the application for a special vehicle to help Mary get around had been accepted. But the news was both welcome and worrying: The vehicle would be electric and need overnight charging at home. Considering the increasing costs of living and energy bills, Donna managed to contact the energy provider of Mary’s family and move from their prepayment meter to a direct debit payment. Because of that, they were able to take advantage of off-peak rates to charge their electric vehicle, and they had saved so much. With the support, Mary’s parents could spend more time with her, less time worrying about other things. Life with a child with a serious disease could be overwhelming. But knowing that there were people they could reach out to and who really understood them when they needed support was life-changing. Mary faced adversity in her young life, but she didn’t let her diagnoses define her. Through continuous treatment, her symptoms have stabilized over the last couple of years. Now, she is a happy, sociable, lively, and friendly young lady who loves being around her family. 4. Which proverb best describes Mary’s childhood experience according to paragraph 1? A. No pain, no gain. B. Many hands make light work. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. When it rains, it pours. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The difficulty Mary’s family faced. B. The support Mary’s family received. C. The condition of patients in the children’s hospital. D. The improvement of devices in the children’s hospital. 6. How is Mary’s current life? A. Lonely. B. Challenging. C. Luxurious. D. Positive. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Courage Defined a Girl B. Diseases Influenced a Life C. Kindness Changed a Family D. Vehicles Helped a Hospital 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是患有脑积水和MPPH综合征的女孩玛丽在家人和儿童医院的帮助下，克服困难、积极生活的感人故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Mary was five months old, she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus -a condition that resulted in brain surgery five times. Then, at just five years old, Mary was further diagnosed with MPPH syndrome-a developmental brain disorder. She experienced great pain and was in and out of hospital every six weeks, with her family frequently going back and forth between their home and the hospital. (玛丽五个月大时被诊断出患有脑积水——一种导致她接受了五次脑部手术的疾病。然后，就在五岁时，玛丽又被诊断出患有MPPH综合征——一种发育性脑障碍。她经历了巨大的痛苦，每六周就要进出医院，她的家人不得不在家和医院之间频繁往返。)”可知，玛丽童年时期不幸接踵而至，祸不单行。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Although life was challenging for Mary’s family, they were not alone. They had been aided by their local children’s hospital since 2018. The hospital offered Mary and her family a listening ear, financial help, and useful advice. (虽然玛丽一家人的生活充满挑战，但他们并不孤单。自2018年以来，他们一直得到当地儿童医院的帮助。医院为玛丽和她的家人提供了倾听的耳朵、经济援助和有用的建议。)”可知，第二段主要讲述的是玛丽一家得到的支持。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now, she is a happy, sociable, lively, and friendly young lady who loves being around her family. (现在，她是一个快乐、善于交际、活泼友好的年轻姑娘，喜欢和家人在一起。)”可知，玛丽目前的生活是积极向上的。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“They had been aided by their local children’s hospital since 2018. (自2018年以来，他们一直得到当地儿童医院的帮助。)”以及第三段“But knowing that there were people they could reach out to and who really understood them when they needed support was life-changing. (但知道在需要支持时可以向那些真正理解他们的人求助，这改变了他们的生活。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是善意如何改变了玛丽一家人的生活。 C “Shhh!” This is the demand that Sueur, an eco-acoustics (生态声学) researcher, makes on humanity. The racket of technology — coming from ships, planes, machinery, and more — reaches even the remotest corners of the planet. Sueur explores the impact of the ever-present unpleasant sound on the animal world in Natural History of Silence. He offers rich descriptions of the sonic lives of several species, like the crackling and popping sounds produced in coral reefs (珊瑚礁). Sueur argues that when human-made noise drowns out nature’s symphony, ecosystems become disrupted. For instance, experiments around Moorea Island, French Polynesia, show that motorboat noise upsets free-swimming young corals, which rely on reef sounds to find a suitable place to settle. In quieter, protected areas, the attraction of corals to reefs is much higher. Anyone new to the science of sound will be able to learn its foundations in this book. Sueur explains how animals create, use, and perceive sound and how researchers have used this knowledge to understand wildlife behavior. Between travelogue-style chapters and wandering philosophical reflections, there is an introduction to key terms and theories, which states that each species has a unique acoustic space to enhance communication with its peers and limit sound competition from other species. The book also includes an evolutionary history of how animals developed the ability to send and receive vibrations. According to Sueur’s thesis, silence is a crucial resource, like food or water, which species compete for to survive. “Making sound is an essential part of being alive,” he writes. But humans need to make sure we are not more alive than others. Sueur offers practical suggestions on how to do that. A student of writings by naturalist John Muir and poet Walt Whitman, he encourages readers to seek quietness in a remote location to grasp the great value of reducing noise. Be silent and tune in, he writes, for a naturalist’s meditation (冥想), and focuses on the external rather than internal world. The book starts with one such trip — a winter walk in the Chartreuse Mountains in France — where, Sueur writes, “For the very first time, I experienced silence in a natural world teeming with life.” 8. What does the underlined word “racket” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. History. B. Noise. C. Attraction. D. Exploration. 9. What can we learn about Natural History of Silence from paragraph 2? A. It presents the basics and different writing styles B. It focuses on human sound’s effect on wild animals. C. It is written for experienced sound researchers. D. It highlights species’ need for limiting vibrations. 10. Which of the following is Sueur’s advice? A. Respecting animals as well as humans. B. Writing more about protecting wildlife. C. Keeping species competing for survival. D. Approaching the quiet but lively nature. 11. What is the text? A. A travel journal. B. A science novel C. A book review. D. A technology introduction. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍生态声学研究员休厄尔在《寂静之自然史》中探讨了人类科技产生的噪音对动物世界的影响，阐述了书中为声音科学新手介绍基础知识，展现不同写作风格，以及休厄尔认为沉默是关键资源并给出人类应靠近宁静且充满生机自然的建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The racket of technology — coming from ships, planes, machinery, and more — reaches even the remotest corners of the planet. Sueur explores the impact of the ever-present unpleasant sound on the animal world in Natural History of Silence.(技术产生的racket——来自船只、飞机、机械等——甚至传到了地球最偏远的角落。休厄尔在《寂静之自然史》中探讨了这种一直存在的令人不快的声音对动物世界的影响)”可知，破折号之间表明“racket”是来自各类工具的东西，且后文提到“不快的声音”，由此可推断“racket”意思是“噪音”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据据第二段“Anyone new to the science of sound will be able to learn its foundations in this book.(任何刚接触声音科学的人都能在这本书中学习到它的基础知识)”可知，该书为声音科学新手提供基础知识；再由“Between travelogue-style chapters and wandering philosophical reflections, there is an introduction to key terms and theories(在旅行日志风格的章节和漫谈式的哲学思考之间，有对关键术语和理论的介绍)”可知，书中有不同的写作风格。所以Natural History of Silence讲解基础知识与各类文体风格。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A student of writings by naturalist John Muir and poet Walt Whitman, he encourages readers to seek quietness in a remote location to grasp the great value of reducing noise. Be silent and tune in, he writes, for a naturalist’s meditation (冥想), and focuses on the external rather than internal world.(他研读自然主义者约翰·缪尔与诗人沃尔特·惠特曼的作品，倡导人们远赴僻静之地静心体悟降噪的珍贵意义。书中写道，静下心来用心感受，以自然观察者的心境沉思，将目光投向外界而非内心)”可知，休厄尔建议人们靠近宁静但充满生机的自然。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。主要介绍生态声学研究员休厄尔在《寂静之自然史》中探讨了人类科技产生的噪音对动物世界的影响，阐述了书中为声音科学新手介绍基础知识，展现不同写作风格，以及休厄尔认为沉默是关键资源并给出人类应靠近宁静且充满生机自然的建议。符合书评的特点。 D Recent lava (熔岩) flows spotted on Venus (金星) suggest the planet could be much more geologically active than initially thought, possibly as active as Earth. The geological processes producing these flows, first discovered in the 1990s by the Magellan spacecraft, are likely still active and will be important to observe in upcoming missions to Venus. Venus was once thought to be a “dead” planet, with possible geological activity long having ceased. But recent reanalysis of Magellan data has found evidence that the activity is ongoing, such as a crater (火山口) that changed in shape over eight months. However, it has been unclear how widespread this activity might be. Davide Sulcanese, an Italian scientist, and his colleagues have reanalyzed Magellan radar data, looking at two different areas on Venus’s surface: the northern volcano Sif Mons and a plain in the east known as Niobe Planitia. They found variations in brightness from the reflected radar signal over time, suggesting areas of material that have expanded, most likely from moving lava flows. To confirm this explanation, they ruled out others such as atmospheric interference or the spacecraft accidentally changing its observation angle, as Magellan only captured the same area once every eight months. Once the flows’ volcanic nature was confirmed, they worked out their properties, such as how quickly lava was produced. The team s lower estimates of 3.78 and 5.67 cubic kilometers per year for Sif Mons and Niobe Planitia respectively are roughly the same as those of the average volcano on Earth. They also used these figures to estimate the total volcanic activity on Venus. “According to this estimate, Venus could be far more volcanically active than expected, with the rate reaching the same order of magnitude as Earth’s total volcanic activity,” says Sulcanese. These areas will be important for planned American and European missions to Venus, aiming to launch in the early 2030s. “It’s probable that these areas will still be active in the early 2030s,” adds Sulcanese. “Geologically speaking, 30 years is just like a few seconds for volcanic activity.” 12. What do the lava flows show about Venus? A. It may match Earth’s geological activity. B. It was observed by the latest spacecraft. C. It has no active geological processes now. D. It will be ignored in future space research. 13. What can prove Venus is geologically active? A. The changing volcanic crater. B. The removed “dead” planet image. C. The change in the shape of the planet. D. The confirmed extent of the volcanic spread. 14. How did researchers confirm the brightness changes were caused by lava flows? A. By measuring lava production speed. B. By observing the same area monthly. C. By excluding other possible influences. D. By changing the radar observation angle. 15. What can be inferred about volcanic activity from Sulcanese’s words? A. Its rate on Earth is underestimated and unclear. B. Thirty years is brief for it in geological terms. C. New missions will overlook the mentioned areas. D. It will come to an end on Venus before the 2030s. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是科学家通过重新分析麦哲伦号探测器的数据，发现金星的地质活动远比以往预想的更为剧烈，其活跃程度或可与地球相当。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recent lava (熔岩) flows spotted on Venus (金星) suggest the planet could be much more geologically active than initially thought, possibly as active as Earth. (金星上近期观测到的熔岩流动迹象表明，这颗星球的地质活动远比以往预想的更为剧烈，其活跃程度或可与地球相当。)”可知，金星的熔岩流显示其地质活动可能与地球相当。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But recent reanalysis of Magellan data has found evidence that the activity is ongoing, such as a crater (火山口) that changed in shape over eight months. (但最近对麦哲伦数据的重新分析发现了活动正在进行的证据，例如一个火山口在八个月内形状发生了变化。)”可知，形状变化的火山口证明了金星的地质活动。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To confirm this explanation, they ruled out others such as atmospheric interference or the spacecraft accidentally changing its observation angle, as Magellan only captured the same area once every eight months. (为了确认这一解释，他们排除了其他可能性，如大气干扰或航天器意外改变观测角度，因为麦哲伦号每八个月才对同一区域拍摄一次。)”可知，研究人员通过排除其他可能的影响因素来确认亮度变化是由熔岩流引起的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s probable that these areas will still be active in the early 2030s,” adds Sulcanese. “Geologically speaking, 30 years is just like a few seconds for volcanic activity. (“这些区域在21世纪30年代初期很可能仍然活跃，”苏尔卡内斯补充道。“从地质学角度来说，30年对于火山活动来说就像几秒钟。”)”可知，30年在地质学上对于火山活动而言是短暂的。 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。 From long drives to delayed flights and crowded commutes, more Americans are now reaching for headphones over hardcovers. Since 2016, the percentage of Americans who listen to audiobooks daily has risen from 3% to 8% — a 167% increase. ____16____ Traditionalists insist that reading requires eyes on a page. More than 40% of people believe listening to an audiobook doesn’t truly count as reading. ____17____ Surely reading is about enjoying the art of storytelling, and audio books allow that. Some experts agree, while others argue that the distinction is not so simple. The brain area experts call the “letter box”, which processes print, is not as engaged when you listen. But when some people listen to words, they visualize them, so the “letter box” gets activated. Listening can activate the brain’s main language comprehension systems. ____18____ Yet experts caution that calling the two experiences identical would be an oversimplification. ____19____ Audiobooks, on the other hand, rely on hearing processing systems. Unfortunately, that nuance (细微差别) is often lost in debates. Reading print allows a person to control pace, reread passages and even remember where information appeared on a page. Audiobooks connect us to our past traditions of hearing a voice tell a story. Experts agree that the debate should therefore shift away from whether audiobooks “count” as reading and toward what listeners want to gain from the experience. A mother like Kate paced her house at 2 am and tried to get her baby to sleep. Audiobooks helped her keep her sanity (头脑清醒). ____20____ And it is one she is not embarrassed about. “I’m proud of my audiobook listens,” she said. A. Similarly, reading also does this. B. Reading print engages visual networks. C. Audiobooks still require attention and focus. D. So pressing play remains the practical choice. E. Yet listening lacks the deep engagement of reading. F. So there’s a debate over whether audiobooks count as reading. G. Others, however, argue that audiobooks “don’t count” feels improper. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要围绕“有声读物是否算作阅读”这一话题展开讨论，介绍了不同观点以及专家对大脑处理方式的科学分析。 【16题详解】 由上文“From long drives to delayed flights and crowded commutes, more Americans are now reaching for headphones over hardcovers. Since 2016, the percentage of Americans who listen to audiobooks daily has risen from 3% to 8% — a 167% increase. (从长途驾驶到航班延误和拥挤的通勤，越来越多的美国人现在选择耳机而非精装书。自2016年以来，每天听有声读物的美国人比例从3%上升到8%，增长了167%。)”以及下文“Traditionalists insist that reading requires eyes on a page. (传统主义者坚持认为阅读需要眼睛盯着书页。)”可知，本空要说有声读物流行的现状引发了关于其是否算阅读的讨论，F选项“So there’s a debate over whether audiobooks count as reading. (因此，关于有声读物是否算作阅读存在一场争论。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“debate”指代上文的争论焦点，且该选项中的“count as reading”与下文的“reading requires eyes on a page”相呼应，表示从现象过渡到争议话题。 【17题详解】 由上文“More than 40% of people believe listening to an audiobook doesn’t truly count as reading. (超过40%的人认为听有声读物不算真正的阅读。)”以及下文“Surely reading is about enjoying the art of storytelling, and audio books allow that. (当然，阅读是关于享受讲故事的艺术，而有声读物也能实现这一点。)”可知，本空要说有人对“有声读物不算阅读”这一观点提出反驳，G选项“Others, however, argue that audiobooks ‘don’t count’ feels improper. (然而，另一些人则认为，认为有声读物‘不算数’的感觉是不恰当的。）”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Others”与上文的“More than 40% of people”形成对比，且该选项中的“feels improper”与下文的“ Surely reading is about enjoying the art of storytelling, and audio books allow that. ”相呼应，表示转折提出反对意见。 【18题详解】 由上文“Listening can activate the brain’s main language comprehension systems. (听可以激活大脑的主要语言理解系统。)”以及下文“Yet experts caution that calling the two experiences identical would be an oversimplification. (然而，专家警告说，将这两种体验称为完全相同是一种过度简化。)”可知，本空要说听与读在激活大脑方面有相似之处，A选项“Similarly, reading also does this. (同样，阅读也能做到这一点。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Similarly”表示类比关系，且该选项中的“this”指代上文的“activate the brain’s main language comprehension systems”，与下文的“the two experiences”相呼应，表示先肯定相似性再转折指出差异。 【19题详解】 由下文“Audiobooks, on the other hand, rely on hearing processing systems. (另一方面，有声读物依赖于听觉处理系统。)”可知，本空要说纸质阅读所依赖的处理系统，B选项“Reading print engages visual networks. (阅读纸质书激活视觉网络。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Reading print”与下文的“Audiobooks”形成“on the other hand”的对比关系，且该选项中的“visual networks”与下文的“hearing processing systems”相呼应，表示分别说明两种阅读方式依赖的不同大脑系统。 【20题详解】 由上文“A mother like Kate paced her house at 2 am and tried to get her baby to sleep. Audiobooks helped her keep her sanity(头脑清醒). (像凯特这样的母亲在凌晨2点在家里踱步，试图让她的宝宝入睡。有声读物帮助她保持头脑清醒。)”以及下文“And it is one she is not embarrassed about. ‘I’m proud of my audiobook listens,’ she said. (这是她并不感到尴尬的一件事。‘我为自己听有声读物感到自豪，’她说。)”可知，本空要说听有声读物对凯特来说是一个实用的选择，D选项“So pressing play remains the practical choice. (因此，按下播放键仍然是实用的选择。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“pressing play”指代上文的“Audiobooks”，且该选项中的“practical choice”与下文的“one she is not embarrassed about”和“proud of”相呼应，表示总结有声读物带来的实际好处。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节;满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Holly Deiaco-Smith,19, boarded a plane at the airport in New York City, excited to spend a year studying abroad in Nancy, a city in northeast France.

The pan, the red and yellow colors, the sweet and acid smell-it all seemed easy. When school announced a cooking competition for students. Kate didn’t hesitate. She signed up, determined to make her mother’s signature dish. “I’ve watched Mom do it a hundred times.” she told herself, “How hard can it be?” Saturday morning arrived, and the sun had just risen. Kate’s parents were still fast asleep. Perfect time to practice, she thought. She walked to the kitchen, tied on an apron (围裙), and took a deep breath. First, she washed two tomatoes and cut them into pieces. But the knife slipped, and some were too big, some were pressed into juice. “Still okay,” she said. Next, she cracked two eggs into a bowl. Unfortunately, a small piece of eggshell fell into the bowl. She fished it out with a spoon, but tiny bits remained. She decided to ignore them. She beat the eggs with a fork, making some mixture leave the desktop. Then came the stove. She poured oil into the pan and turned the heat to high-just like Mom did. While waiting for the oil to warm, she started cutting an onion, but the strong smell made her eyes water. When she finally looked up, the oil was smoking. In a panic, she put the tomatoes in. A loud noise exploded, and hot oil got onto her wrist. “Ouch!” she shouted, jumping back. A small red mark appeared on her skin. The tomatoes were already turning dark and sticking to the pan. She quickly poured in the egg mixture. The eggs hit the hot pan and boiled wildly. She mixed like mad, but everything turned into a brown, mushy mess. The bitter smell must have traveled upstairs. Kate looked around in disappointment. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, her mom’s voice came from the doorway. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The competition day arrived, and her parents also came to watch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, her mom’s voice came from the doorway. “Oh, my dear, what happened here?” Mom hurried over and gently took Kate’s wrist. “It’s nothing,” Kate whispered, but her eyes were wet. Mom smiled and turned the heat to medium. “High heat is the enemy of eggs,” she said. “Watch me.” She cracked two eggs cleanly and poured them into the warm oil. The eggs spread golden and smooth. “Now you try,” Mom said. Kate took a deep breath and copied her mother. This time, the eggs didn’t burn — they were a little dry, but much better. “Good,” Mom smiled. “You’re learning. Keep practicing.” The competition day arrived, and her parents also came to watch. Kate’s heart pounded as she set her station. Just as she poured the oil, the stove’s heat fluctuated — a burner problem. Had she not practiced with her mom, she would have panicked. Instead, she lowered the pan and waited. The oil shimmered at the right moment. She added tomatoes, then eggs, stirring gently. The red and yellow swirled perfectly. Her mother’s words echoed: “Cooking is like life — adjust as you go.” When the judge tasted her dish, Kate didn’t look at the score. She saw her parents’ proud smiles. That, she knew, was the real prize. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Kate参加学校烹饪比赛前的练习经历为线索展开，讲述了Kate自信满满地尝试复刻母亲的番茄炒蛋，却因缺乏实操经验而手忙脚乱、烫伤手腕、把菜炒糊，最终在母亲指导下领悟烹饪真谛并在比赛中从容应对的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写母亲闻声赶来，发现Kate烫伤后温柔安慰，亲自示范正确的烹饪技巧（中火慢煎、打蛋要领），并鼓励Kate重新尝试，Kate在母亲指导下逐渐掌握要领。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写比赛当天Kate面对突发状况（炉灶火力不稳）时，凭借与母亲练习的经验沉着应对，成功完成菜品，最终领悟到父母的微笑才是最大的奖赏。 2.续写线索：母亲闻声出现——温柔处理烫伤并示范技巧——Kate在指导下重新练习——比赛日到来——炉灶故障沉着应对——成功完成菜品并领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①匆忙：hurry/rush/dash ②低语：whisper/murmur/mutter 情绪类 ①惊慌：panic/dread/scare ②自豪的：proud/gratified 【点睛】【高分句型1】Kate’s heart pounded as she set her station.

B When Mary was five months old, she was diagnosed (诊断) with hydrocephalus (脑积水) — a condition that resulted in brain surgery five times. Then, at just five years old, Mary was further diagnosed with MPPH syndrome-a developmental brain disorder. She experienced great pain and was in and out of hospital every six weeks, with her family frequently going back and forth between their home and the hospital. Although life was challenging for Mary’s family, they were not alone. They had been aided by their local children’s hospital since 2018. The hospital offered Mary and her family a listening ear, financial help, and useful advice. It also connected them with other families looking after sick children. Later, Donna, a staff member from the children’s hospital, received the good news that the application for a special vehicle to help Mary get around had been accepted. But the news was both welcome and worrying: The vehicle would be electric and need overnight charging at home. Considering the increasing costs of living and energy bills, Donna managed to contact the energy provider of Mary’s family and move from their prepayment meter to a direct debit payment. Because of that, they were able to take advantage of off-peak rates to charge their electric vehicle, and they had saved so much. With the support, Mary’s parents could spend more time with her, less time worrying about other things. Life with a child with a serious disease could be overwhelming. But knowing that there were people they could reach out to and who really understood them when they needed support was life-changing. Mary faced adversity in her young life, but she didn’t let her diagnoses define her. Through continuous treatment, her symptoms have stabilized over the last couple of years. Now, she is a happy, sociable, lively, and friendly young lady who loves being around her family. 4. Which proverb best describes Mary’s childhood experience according to paragraph 1? A. No pain, no gain. B. Many hands make light work. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. When it rains, it pours. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The difficulty Mary’s family faced. B. The support Mary’s family received. C. The condition of patients in the children’s hospital. D. The improvement of devices in the children’s hospital. 6. How is Mary’s current life? A. Lonely. B. Challenging. C. Luxurious. D. Positive. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Courage Defined a Girl B. Diseases Influenced a Life C. Kindness Changed a Family D. Vehicles Helped a Hospital C “Shhh!” This is the demand that Sueur, an eco-acoustics (生态声学) researcher, makes on humanity. The racket of technology — coming from ships, planes, machinery, and more — reaches even the remotest corners of the planet. Sueur explores the impact of the ever-present unpleasant sound on the animal world in Natural History of Silence. He offers rich descriptions of the sonic lives of several species, like the crackling and popping sounds produced in coral reefs (珊瑚礁). Sueur argues that when human-made noise drowns out nature’s symphony, ecosystems become disrupted. For instance, experiments around Moorea Island, French Polynesia, show that motorboat noise upsets free-swimming young corals, which rely on reef sounds to find a suitable place to settle. In quieter, protected areas, the attraction of corals to reefs is much higher. Anyone new to the science of sound will be able to learn its foundations in this book. Sueur explains how animals create, use, and perceive sound and how researchers have used this knowledge to understand wildlife behavior. Between travelogue-style chapters and wandering philosophical reflections, there is an introduction to key terms and theories, which states that each species has a unique acoustic space to enhance communication with its peers and limit sound competition from other species. The book also includes an evolutionary history of how animals developed the ability to send and receive vibrations. According to Sueur’s thesis, silence is a crucial resource, like food or water, which species compete for to survive. “Making sound is an essential part of being alive,” he writes. But humans need to make sure we are not more alive than others. Sueur offers practical suggestions on how to do that. A student of writings by naturalist John Muir and poet Walt Whitman, he encourages readers to seek quietness in a remote location to grasp the great value of reducing noise. Be silent and tune in, he writes, for a naturalist’s meditation (冥想), and focuses on the external rather than internal world. The book starts with one such trip — a winter walk in the Chartreuse Mountains in France — where, Sueur writes, “For the very first time, I experienced silence in a natural world teeming with life.” 8. What does the underlined word “racket” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. History. B. Noise. C. Attraction. D. Exploration. 9. What can we learn about Natural History of Silence from paragraph 2? A. It presents the basics and different writing styles B. It focuses on human sound’s effect on wild animals. C. It is written for experienced sound researchers. D. It highlights species’ need for limiting vibrations. 10. Which of the following is Sueur’s advice? A. Respecting animals as well as humans. B. Writing more about protecting wildlife. C. Keeping species competing for survival. D. Approaching the quiet but lively nature. 11. What is the text? A. A travel journal. B. A science novel C. A book review. D. A technology introduction. D Recent lava (熔岩) flows spotted on Venus (金星) suggest the planet could be much more geologically active than initially thought, possibly as active as Earth. The geological processes producing these flows, first discovered in the 1990s by the Magellan spacecraft, are likely still active and will be important to observe in upcoming missions to Venus. Venus was once thought to be a “dead” planet, with possible geological activity long having ceased. But recent reanalysis of Magellan data has found evidence that the activity is ongoing, such as a crater (火山口) that changed in shape over eight months. However, it has been unclear how widespread this activity might be. Davide Sulcanese, an Italian scientist, and his colleagues have reanalyzed Magellan radar data, looking at two different areas on Venus’s surface: the northern volcano Sif Mons and a plain in the east known as Niobe Planitia. They found variations in brightness from the reflected radar signal over time, suggesting areas of material that have expanded, most likely from moving lava flows. To confirm this explanation, they ruled out others such as atmospheric interference or the spacecraft accidentally changing its observation angle, as Magellan only captured the same area once every eight months. Once the flows’ volcanic nature was confirmed, they worked out their properties, such as how quickly lava was produced. The team s lower estimates of 3.78 and 5.67 cubic kilometers per year for Sif Mons and Niobe Planitia respectively are roughly the same as those of the average volcano on Earth. They also used these figures to estimate the total volcanic activity on Venus. “According to this estimate, Venus could be far more volcanically active than expected, with the rate reaching the same order of magnitude as Earth’s total volcanic activity,” says Sulcanese. These areas will be important for planned American and European missions to Venus, aiming to launch in the early 2030s. “It’s probable that these areas will still be active in the early 2030s,” adds Sulcanese. “Geologically speaking, 30 years is just like a few seconds for volcanic activity.” 12. What do the lava flows show about Venus? A. It may match Earth’s geological activity. B. It was observed by the latest spacecraft. C. It has no active geological processes now. D. It will be ignored in future space research. 13. What can prove Venus is geologically active? A. The changing volcanic crater. B. The removed “dead” planet image. C. The change in the shape of the planet. D. The confirmed extent of the volcanic spread. 14. How did researchers confirm the brightness changes were caused by lava flows? A. By measuring lava production speed. B. By observing the same area monthly. C. By excluding other possible influences. D. By changing the radar observation angle. 15. What can be inferred about volcanic activity from Sulcanese’s words? A. Its rate on Earth is underestimated and unclear. B. Thirty years is brief for it in geological terms. C. New missions will overlook the mentioned areas. D. It will come to an end on Venus before the 2030s. 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。 From long drives to delayed flights and crowded commutes, more Americans are now reaching for headphones over hardcovers. Since 2016, the percentage of Americans who listen to audiobooks daily has risen from 3% to 8% — a 167% increase. ____16____ Traditionalists insist that reading requires eyes on a page. More than 40% of people believe listening to an audiobook doesn’t truly count as reading. ____17____ Surely reading is about enjoying the art of storytelling, and audio books allow that. Some experts agree, while others argue that the distinction is not so simple. The brain area experts call the “letter box”, which processes print, is not as engaged when you listen. But when some people listen to words, they visualize them, so the “letter box” gets activated. Listening can activate the brain’s main language comprehension systems. ____18____ Yet experts caution that calling the two experiences identical would be an oversimplification. ____19____ Audiobooks, on the other hand, rely on hearing processing systems. Unfortunately, that nuance (细微差别) is often lost in debates. Reading print allows a person to control pace, reread passages and even remember where information appeared on a page. Audiobooks connect us to our past traditions of hearing a voice tell a story. Experts agree that the debate should therefore shift away from whether audiobooks “count” as reading and toward what listeners want to gain from the experience. A mother like Kate paced her house at 2 am and tried to get her baby to sleep. Audiobooks helped her keep her sanity (头脑清醒). ____20____ And it is one she is not embarrassed about. “I’m proud of my audiobook listens,” she said. A. Similarly, reading also does this. B. Reading print engages visual networks. C. Audiobooks still require attention and focus. D. So pressing play remains the practical choice. E. Yet listening lacks the deep engagement of reading. F. So there’s a debate over whether audiobooks count as reading. G. Others, however, argue that audiobooks “don’t count” feels improper. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节;满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Holly Deiaco-Smith,19, boarded a plane at the airport in New York City, excited to spend a year studying abroad in Nancy, a city in northeast France.

The pan, the red and yellow colors, the sweet and acid smell-it all seemed easy. When school announced a cooking competition for students. Kate didn’t hesitate. She signed up, determined to make her mother’s signature dish. “I’ve watched Mom do it a hundred times.” she told herself, “How hard can it be?” Saturday morning arrived, and the sun had just risen. Kate’s parents were still fast asleep. Perfect time to practice, she thought. She walked to the kitchen, tied on an apron (围裙), and took a deep breath. First, she washed two tomatoes and cut them into pieces. But the knife slipped, and some were too big, some were pressed into juice. “Still okay,” she said. Next, she cracked two eggs into a bowl. Unfortunately, a small piece of eggshell fell into the bowl. She fished it out with a spoon, but tiny bits remained. She decided to ignore them. She beat the eggs with a fork, making some mixture leave the desktop. Then came the stove. She poured oil into the pan and turned the heat to high-just like Mom did. While waiting for the oil to warm, she started cutting an onion, but the strong smell made her eyes water. When she finally looked up, the oil was smoking. In a panic, she put the tomatoes in. A loud noise exploded, and hot oil got onto her wrist. “Ouch!” she shouted, jumping back. A small red mark appeared on her skin. The tomatoes were already turning dark and sticking to the pan. She quickly poured in the egg mixture. The eggs hit the hot pan and boiled wildly. She mixed like mad, but everything turned into a brown, mushy mess. The bitter smell must have traveled upstairs. Kate looked around in disappointment. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, her mom’s voice came from the doorway. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The competition day arrived, and her parents also came to watch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
