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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. What is the main message the author wants to convey? A. Failure in one area can lead to success in another. B. Strict teachers are essential for student development. C. Childhood friendships can shape our future careers. D. Natural talent is more important than hard work. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者原本想成为小提琴手，却因意外损坏小提琴被老师建议加入合唱团，最终发现写作才是自己真正热爱的事业的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“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. (不幸的是，我小提琴拉得不好。有一天，我在练习的时候，小提琴的琴马飞了出去，琴弦断了。我害怕鲍姆加特纳先生的反应，试图用胶水自己修理。但当他看到我歪歪扭扭的琴马时，他告诉我不能再参加管弦乐队了。)”可知，作者因为损坏了小提琴且没有正确修复，导致被老师要求退出管弦乐队。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“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. (我转到了合唱团，发现我喜欢和别人一起唱歌，尽管我的声音不是很好听。后来，初中合唱团为全市荣誉合唱团举行了试唱，我是我们学校仅有的五个参加试唱的女孩之一。正因为如此，我加入了合唱团。)”可知，作者加入合唱团后，被选入了全市荣誉合唱团。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“However, when I saw my name and words in print, I knew I wanted to write more. (然而，当我看到我的名字和文字被印刷出来时，我知道我想写更多。)”可知，作者看到自己的文章被发表后，感到自豪并决定继续写作。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“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. (回想起来，我明白如果我没有弄坏小提琴并加入合唱团，我可能永远不会发现我对写作的热爱。多年后，我在一次聚会上见到了艾琳。她告诉我她已经在澳大利亚成为了一名职业小提琴手。我想，“那本来可能是我。”但是鲍姆加特纳先生的决定让我走上了一条不同的道路——一条充满文字和故事的道路。我感谢我生命中的这一转折，也感谢鲍姆加特纳先生意想不到的指导。) ”可知，作者通过自身经历传达了“失败或挫折可能成为人生转折点，并引领我们走向新的成功”的道理。故选A项。 C 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean? A. Basic. B. Solid. C. Advanced. D. Emerging. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate B. A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate C. The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health D. Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】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。 【8题详解】 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。 【9题详解】 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。 【10题详解】 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。 【11题详解】 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。 D 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. 12. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment? A. They could ignore strong initial evidence. B. They preferred whichever box looked larger. C. They based decisions on weighing of evidence. D. They chose randomly when clues were unclear. 13. Why did the researchers use computer models in the study? A. To copy the chimps’ learning process. B. To predict which box the chimps would choose. C. To compare the chimps’ behavior with that of kids. D. To confirm the chimps used rational belief revision. 14. What does Schleihauf think of the study findings? A. They are less reliable than expected. B. They show limited progress in this field. C. They fail to explain the chimps’ behavior. D. They reveal impressive abilities in chimps. 15. What does the last paragraph stress about the study? A. Its practical implications. B. Its historical context. C. Its experimental approach. D. Its potential limitations. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】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。 【12题详解】 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。 【13题详解】 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。 【14题详解】 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。 【15题详解】 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。 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。 Though positivity isn’t what everyone is born with, we can grow more positive with practice.

(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。 【17题详解】 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。 【18题详解】 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。 【19题详解】 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。 【20题详解】 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。 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。 Music is part of every culture on the Earth, which can be pleasant, sad, romantic, sleepy, healing — all kinds of things.

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 ____38____ (remarkable) large set of genetic materials — about 40 times ____39____ (big) than rice’s, and five times the size of humans’. ____40____ (address) this complexity, the team built two core models into one tool. DeepWheat can find out how changing genes ____41____ (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, ____42____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 ____43____ (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 ____44____ (test) in rice and corn, the tool has proved effective for many crops. It identifies key parts, improves editing targets, and solves a farming bottleneck — when improving one trait weakens another. By making better gene networks, DeepWheat reduces such trade-offs, speeds up good trait combination, and serves ____45____ a practical AI solution for developing high-quality crops. 【答案】36. which 37. accuracy 38. remarkably 39. bigger 40. To address 41. affects 42. a 43. running 44. tested 45. as 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章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。 【36题详解】 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。 【37题详解】 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。 【38题详解】 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。 【39题详解】 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。 【40题详解】 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。 【41题详解】 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。 【42题详解】 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。 【43题详解】 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。 【44题详解】 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。故填tested。 【45题详解】 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。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你们班在校英文报组织的以“传统节日的现代表达”为主题的海报设计大赛中获奖。请你给英国朋友Chris写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： (1)作品介绍；(2)你的收获。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m excited to tell you that our class won a prize in the poster contest themed Traditional Festivals in Modern Ways.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After telling the truth, Mia felt a light tap on her shoulder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 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. 【解析】 【导语】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。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在泥土即将覆盖胶囊时，Mia突然走上前。”可知，第一段可描写Mia拦住了众人，攥着藏有忏悔的信封，内心沉重，向Ben坦白，并回忆实验室碰坏显微镜、本默默担责的事，这三年Mia一直心存内疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“说出真相后，Mia感到肩膀被轻轻拍了一下。”可知，第二段可描写Ben对Mia的道歉的回应，Ben原谅了Mia，Mia最终释怀。 2. 续写线索： Mia抬手拦人—— 目光锁定Ben—— Mia讲述实验室事件 —— Ben原谅Mia —— Mia释然放信 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 举起：raise/ put up ② 凝视： gaze/ stare ③ 弯腰： bend/ stoop 情绪类 ① 内疚： guilt/ remorse ② 如释重负： relief/ comfort /solace 【点睛】【高分句型1】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.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Mia felt the weight in her chest lift instantly, a wave of relief washing over her. (运用了独立主格结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年大湾区名校共同体第三次模拟考试 英 语 满分150分。考试时长120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Job Advertisement: Bioacoustics Researcher The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is seeking a Post-Doctoral Associate in machine learning for a three-year bioacoustics project.

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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. What is the main message the author wants to convey? A. Failure in one area can lead to success in another. B. Strict teachers are essential for student development. C. Childhood friendships can shape our future careers. D. Natural talent is more important than hard work. C 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean? A. Basic. B. Solid. C. Advanced. D. Emerging. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate B. A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate C. The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health D. Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry D 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. 12. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment? A. They could ignore strong initial evidence. B. They preferred whichever box looked larger. C. They based decisions on weighing of evidence. D. They chose randomly when clues were unclear. 13. Why did the researchers use computer models in the study? A. To copy the chimps’ learning process. B. To predict which box the chimps would choose. C. To compare the chimps’ behavior with that of kids. D. To confirm the chimps used rational belief revision. 14. What does Schleihauf think of the study findings? A. They are less reliable than expected. B. They show limited progress in this field. C. They fail to explain the chimps’ behavior. D. They reveal impressive abilities in chimps. 15. What does the last paragraph stress about the study? A. Its practical implications. B. Its historical context. C. Its experimental approach. D. Its potential limitations. 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。 Though positivity isn’t what everyone is born with, we can grow more positive with practice.

Sticks and objects that rattled (碰响) could have _____31_____ the human body as early _____32_____. Both instruments and music became more complex (复杂) with time. Today, music in many cultures consists of art music and music of the people. Art music, which we call classical music, is more _____33_____ than the music of the people — _____34_____ music and popular music. Art music is generally harder to write and perform. Musicians who perform it need a lot of _____35_____. Popular and folk styles typically are easier to create, perform, and understand. 21. A. in B. over C. against D. across 22.

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 ____38____ (remarkable) large set of genetic materials — about 40 times ____39____ (big) than rice’s, and five times the size of humans’. ____40____ (address) this complexity, the team built two core models into one tool. DeepWheat can find out how changing genes ____41____ (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, ____42____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 ____43____ (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 ____44____ (test) in rice and corn, the tool has proved effective for many crops. It identifies key parts, improves editing targets, and solves a farming bottleneck — when improving one trait weakens another. By making better gene networks, DeepWheat reduces such trade-offs, speeds up good trait combination, and serves ____45____ a practical AI solution for developing high-quality crops. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你们班在校英文报组织的以“传统节日的现代表达”为主题的海报设计大赛中获奖。请你给英国朋友Chris写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： (1)作品介绍；(2)你的收获。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After telling the truth, Mia felt a light tap on her shoulder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
