The sun was setting on the vast Pacific Ocean when Captain Eduardo Rodriguez first spotted the small fishing boat. After floating (漂浮) for 55 days on the water, the five fishermen looked weathered, thin, but unbelievably alive. Vladimir, Jose, Jose Gabriel, Jhonny, and Jorge had become more than just fellow survivors during their terrible journey. They were now brothers, united by an experience that would forever connect them.
“I never thought we’d make it,” Vladimir said as the Ecuadorian rescue boat pulled alongside them. His fellow fishermen nodded, each lost in memories of their impossible survival.
Their adventure had begun as a fishing trip from Peru. Two days later, their boat’s engine failed, leaving them powerless and directionless. Fortunately, they survived by collecting rainwater, fishing with temporary lines and sharing everything they caught. When there was little food, they talked about their families, their dreams, and their lives back home. Jhonny from Colombia would tell jokes that made everyone laugh. Jose would sing old Peruvian folk songs that kept their spirits high.
“We became a family out there,” Jorge later told reporters. “Not just fishermen from different countries, but true brothers.”
Their rescue was more than just a miracle (奇迹). It showed human connection that went beyond national borders.
As they arrived at the Galapagos Islands, local people gave them food and warm blankets. Children waved flags, international media gathered, and for a moment, these five ordinary fishermen became extraordinary symbols of hope.
“We didn’t just survive,” Vladimir said with a smile. “We proved that when humans work together, nothing is impossible.”
The five fishermen, once strangers from different countries, were now united by an experience that would define their lives forever. And as they hugged their families and felt solid ground under their feet, they knew their real journey was just beginning.
4. How did the fishermen possibly feel upon seeing the Ecuadorian boat?
A. Embarrassed. B. Hopeful. C. Uneasy. D. Bored.
5. How did the fishermen keep their spirits high?

Jose would sing old Peruvian folk songs that kept their spirits high.(食物短缺时,他们谈论自己的家人、梦想以及家乡的生活。来自哥伦比亚的约翰尼会讲笑话,逗得大家哈哈大笑。何塞会唱秘鲁古老的民歌,让大家精神振奋)”可知,在食物匮乏的时候,他们通过谈论家庭、梦想和家乡生活,以及听约翰尼讲笑话、何塞唱民歌等方式,分享个人的事或有趣的内容,以此保持高昂的精神状态。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“As they arrived at the Galapagos Islands, local people gave them food and warm blankets. Children waved flags, international media gathered, and for a moment, these five ordinary fishermen became extraordinary symbols of hope.(当他们抵达加拉帕戈斯群岛时,当地居民给他们提供食物和温暖的毯子。孩子们挥舞着旗帜,国际媒体也纷纷聚集。一时间,这五名普通渔民成为了希望的非凡象征)”可知,当他们抵达加拉帕戈斯群岛时,受到了当地居民的热烈欢迎。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““We didn’t just survive,” Vladimir said with a smile. “We proved that when humans work together, nothing is impossible.”(弗拉基米尔微笑着说:“我们不仅仅是活了下来。我们证明了,当人类齐心协力,没有什么是不可能的”)”可知,整个故事围绕五名渔民在困境中相互合作最终获救展开,重点体现了人类合作的强大力量。故选A项。

Giving has many benefits, but it isn’t always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression (抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro-donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity.
Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.
After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). And, though social connection wasn’t necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study’s coauthors.
Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It’s also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self-talk common to depressives.
Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.”
8. What information did the researchers collect about all participants?
A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate.
C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness.
9. What does the underlined word “deriving” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting.
10. Why might giving help depressed individuals?
A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self-focus time.
C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships.
11. What can be learned according to the study?
A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results.
C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍深大与北大的研究发现小额日常捐赠能改善抑郁人群的情绪,并阐释其原因和研究的核心结论。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.(在这两个月的研究开始前以及期间的每周,所有参与者都需要填写调查问卷,内容涉及他们可能存在的各类抑郁相关表现:抑郁情绪、愉悦感缺失、身体不适、嗜睡、人际关系问题,同时也包含他们产生积极和消极情绪的频率)”可知,研究人员收集的是参与者各类抑郁相关症状的表现程度。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). (换言之,进行捐赠 —— 哪怕是小额捐赠,也有助于改善心情)可知,该研究的合著者刘锦婷表示,尽管获得这种益处并不需要借助社交联系,但研究表明,捐赠行为能够帮助那些原本可能不愿向他人表达善意的抑郁人群,所以,“deriving”含义为“获得”,与D项Getting一致。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings.(刘锦婷认为,这可能是因为如果你容易感到抑郁,暂时关注他人能让你从思考自己和自身缺点中抽离出来)”可知,捐赠能帮助抑郁人群的原因是它减少了人们关注自我的时间。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week.(在分析结果后,研究人员发现,那些每天都进行捐赠,哪怕每天仅捐一美分的人,比在等待名单上的人明显感觉更积极。反过来,这似乎也解释了为什么他们每周的抑郁感也会减轻)”以及最后一段中的“Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.”(有趣的是,尽管捐赠更为慷慨的人比捐赠较少的人感觉更快乐、抑郁感更轻,但这种差异还不够大,并不显著。这意味着即便经济条件不好的人也能参与这项简单的活动。刘(研究人员之一)表示:“为他人做点好事就很棒。钱的数额并非关键,真正重要的是其背后的善意”)”可知,这项研究表明哪怕是微小的善意举动,对改善抑郁情绪依然是有帮助的。故选C项。
D
How do you beat the summer heat? If you’ re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak (非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day? This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice.
Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation (装置) .
Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4,000 sites worldwide.
The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it,” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.”
While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid (电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all.
12. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3?
A. The necessity of ice batteries. B. The popularity of the technology.
C. The features of the high-rise. D. The significance of air conditioning.
13. Why were some elements added in the water?
A. To make the water cleaner. B. To use the energy fully.
C. To control the temperature. D. To add space occupation.
14. What can be inferred about ice batteries according to the text?
A. They are cheap to install. B. They are energy-saving.
C. They are extremely harmful. D. They are used to cool food.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Process of Ice Battery Production B. Power-hungry Air Conditioning
C. Advantages of Storing Electricity D. A Creative System for Cooling
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍纽约曼哈顿的Eleven Madison摩天大厦采用夜间制冰、白天用冰制冷的创新系统,以应对夏季高温并节约能源。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that.(全球范围内,空调消耗了家庭和企业近20%的能源。然而,在极端炎热的日子里,这个数字可能会飙升到70%。像Eleven Madison里的装置有助于降低这一比例。)”可知,作者通过说明空调能耗高的问题,强调了冰电池系统的必要性。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We take water, and add some other elements in it. So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.(我们先取来水,然后在其中加入一些其他物质。这样一来,我们就能在几乎任何我们想要的温度范围内(即 0 至 20 摄氏度之间)控制温度了。)”可知,在水中添加其他元素是为了控制温度。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that.(像Eleven Madison里的装置有助于降低这一比例。)”以及第五段中的“For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid (电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. (目前,将冰电池与其他类型的可再生能源储存相结合,有助于电网在炎热天气下维持运行,并降低电力成本。)”可推断,冰电池是节能的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文和第一段的“This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice.(这一想法如今已在纽约市的一座高层建筑中成为现实,该建筑通过使用冰块来实现降温。)”可知,全文围绕“冰电池帮助建筑物降温”这一核心展开:开头提出设想并引入实例(Eleven Madison),接着具体描述该冰电池系统的工作原理(夜间制冰、日间供冷)和规模,指出其解决空调高能耗问题的价值,解释其提升效率的关键技术(特殊水质处理)),最后点明其当前应用范围(建筑物降温)及与可再生能源结合带来的综合效益(稳定电网、降低成本),因此“一种创新的冷却系统”最适合作为本文标题。故选D项。

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。
Sally’s birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year.
One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness.
“No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did she say?” Sally asked.
However, Sarah simply shrugged (耸肩) and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
“What is happening?” Sally wondered anxiously, “Are they keeping something from me?”
As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. “Jane has never kept secrets from me before.” Sally thought. Her heart sank. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?

【答案】范文
On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
The unexpected surprise brought tears to Sally’s eyes. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.

The sun was setting on the vast Pacific Ocean when Captain Eduardo Rodriguez first spotted the small fishing boat. After floating (漂浮) for 55 days on the water, the five fishermen looked weathered, thin, but unbelievably alive. Vladimir, Jose, Jose Gabriel, Jhonny, and Jorge had become more than just fellow survivors during their terrible journey. They were now brothers, united by an experience that would forever connect them.
“I never thought we’d make it,” Vladimir said as the Ecuadorian rescue boat pulled alongside them. His fellow fishermen nodded, each lost in memories of their impossible survival.
Their adventure had begun as a fishing trip from Peru. Two days later, their boat’s engine failed, leaving them powerless and directionless. Fortunately, they survived by collecting rainwater, fishing with temporary lines and sharing everything they caught. When there was little food, they talked about their families, their dreams, and their lives back home. Jhonny from Colombia would tell jokes that made everyone laugh. Jose would sing old Peruvian folk songs that kept their spirits high.
“We became a family out there,” Jorge later told reporters. “Not just fishermen from different countries, but true brothers.”
Their rescue was more than just a miracle (奇迹). It showed human connection that went beyond national borders.
As they arrived at the Galapagos Islands, local people gave them food and warm blankets. Children waved flags, international media gathered, and for a moment, these five ordinary fishermen became extraordinary symbols of hope.
“We didn’t just survive,” Vladimir said with a smile. “We proved that when humans work together, nothing is impossible.”
The five fishermen, once strangers from different countries, were now united by an experience that would define their lives forever. And as they hugged their families and felt solid ground under their feet, they knew their real journey was just beginning.
4. How did the fishermen possibly feel upon seeing the Ecuadorian boat?
A. Embarrassed. B. Hopeful. C. Uneasy. D. Bored.
5. How did the fishermen keep their spirits high?
A. By planning ways to return home.
B. By competing in fishing contests.
C. By arguing about survival strategies.
D. By sharing something personal or interesting.
6. What happened to the fishermen when they reached the Galapagos Islands?
A. They were invited to studios. B. They were rushed to a hospital.
C. They were greeted warmly. D. They were sent home quickly.
7. What did the fishermen’s story show?
A. The power of human cooperation. B. The appeal of ocean fishing.
C. The need for better first aid systems. D. The importance of advanced technology.

Giving has many benefits, but it isn’t always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression (抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro-donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity.
Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.
After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). And, though social connection wasn’t necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study’s coauthors.
Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It’s also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self-talk common to depressives.
Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.”
8. What information did the researchers collect about all participants?
A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate.
C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness.
9. What does the underlined word “deriving” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting.
10. Why might giving help depressed individuals?
A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self-focus time.
C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships.
11. What can be learned according to the study?
A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results.
C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy.

How do you beat the summer heat? If you’ re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak (非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day? This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice.
Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation (装置) .
Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4,000 sites worldwide.
The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it,” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.”
While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid (电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all.

A. The necessity of ice batteries. B. The popularity of the technology.
C. The features of the high-rise. D. The significance of air conditioning.
13. Why were some elements added in the water?
A. To make the water cleaner. B. To use the energy fully.
C. To control the temperature. D. To add space occupation.
14. What can be inferred about ice batteries according to the text?
A. They are cheap to install. B. They are energy-saving.
C. They are extremely harmful. D. They are used to cool food.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Process of Ice Battery Production B. Power-hungry Air Conditioning

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。
Sally’s birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year.
One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness.
“No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did she say?” Sally asked.
However, Sarah simply shrugged (耸肩) and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
“What is happening?” Sally wondered anxiously, “Are they keeping something from me?”
As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. “Jane has never kept secrets from me before.” Sally thought. Her heart sank. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The unexpected surprise brought tears to Sally’s eyes.
