After graduation, she started working on her first product. She successfully transformed the teeth-whitening pens she had found on the Internet into eye makeup brushes. One morning she woke up to find that she had 1,000 orders, which inspired her. So she wanted to make her product better and rather than searching online, she took the brave decision to move to China, where she could talk directly to the producers. Despite only speaking a handful of words, she spent four months researching makeup brushes and talking with local factories. However, she realized that many makeup brands were doing what she had done. So she decided to stay in China and help others find the best factories and packaging for their products. That’s how Sparkling was born. Now Maggie is here today to talk about her unusual journey and how she hopes to change the world of beauty products with upcycled materials and recyclable packaging. Please welcome Maggie. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 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 Architecture Discovery Program The Architecture Discovery Program, which will start on July 12 and end on July 25, is an exciting introduction to architecture and design for high school students.

In 2025, a short-term Fulbright fellowship took me to Uruguay, where I thought there would be three months of intense lab work. I was depressed to learn that the bus to the institute ran on a schedule that limited our work hours to 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Mornings started with shared tea and conversations about our weekends, followed later by an extended lunch break that was sacred (神圣的). I felt impatient. I was still working long hours, but the built-in breaks, which often included an evening snack or walk on the street, made all the difference. I still got my work done, and the slower rhythm also left space for deeper thinking, both in my experiments and in my life. A calmness set in, and I found myself laughing more and sleeping better. Midway through my fellowship, my family arrived for an extended visit, and I took 3 weeks off for a once-in-a-lifetime journey. We wandered through neighborhoods, stood in silence under a desert sky heavy with stars, and felt the thunder of waterfalls flooding us in mist. I began to notice my daughter’s fascination with seashells, and my son’s growing ease with strangers. When my fellowship ended 8 months ago and I returned, I no longer treated evenings and weekends as time to catch up on unfinished work; instead, I reserved them for my family and myself. Blocking my calendar so that nobody can schedule a meeting during my off-hours and letting my lab members know when I’ll be available has worked wonders. I’ve built small rituals (仪式) into my routine, such as a morning walk, and a lunch break away from the screen. These modest changes have reshaped the texture (质感) of my days. I find myself more focused in the lab, more patient with my students, and more present with my family. Productivity, I’ve realized, isn’t measured only by research papers and grants. It’s also sustained by presence, rest and the relationships that give meaning to the work. 24. How did the author initially feel about the work schedule in Uruguay? A. Disappointed. B. Hopeless. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. 25. What major change did the Uruguay experience bring to the author? A. Longer working hours. B. Higher research productivity. C. Better work-life balance. D. Increased lab responsibilities. 26. What did the author do in his spare time after returning to his country? A. He often helped in neighborhoods. B. He was busier with his research. C. He travelled a lot with his family. D. He spent more time relaxing. 27. What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph? A. A good career move. B. A shift in life philosophy. C. A new academic model. D. A traditional work culture. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】作者通过自己在乌拉圭短期研究期间的经历讲述了从“工作与家庭不断拉扯”到“重塑生活质感”的转变过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was depressed to learn that the bus to the institute ran on a schedule that limited our work hours to 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.(当得知去研究所的公交车按时间表运行，将我们的工作时间限制在上午8点到下午3点30分，我很沮丧)”可知，作者最初对乌拉圭的工作时间表感到失望。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I still got my work done, and the slower rhythm also left space for deeper thinking, both in my experiments and in my life. A calmness set in, and I found myself laughing more and sleeping better.(我依旧完成了手头的工作，而放缓的节奏也让我无论是做实验还是生活日常，都有空间进行更深层次的思考。内心渐渐归于平静，我也变得爱笑了，睡眠质量也好了许多)”可推断，乌拉圭经历带给作者的主要变化是作者能更好地平衡工作与生活。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When my fellowship ended 8 months ago and I returned, I no longer treated evenings and weekends as time to catch up on unfinished work; instead, I reserved them for my family and myself. Blocking my calendar so that nobody can schedule a meeting during my off-hours and letting my lab members know when I’ll be available has worked wonders. I’ve built small rituals (仪式) into my routine, such as a morning walk, and a lunch break away from the screen.(8个月前我的奖学金项目结束回国后，我不再把晚上和周末当作补做未完成工作的时间；相反，我把这些时间留给家人和自己。在日程表上锁定时间，这样在我的非工作时间就没人能安排会议，并让我的实验室成员知道我何时有空，这产生了奇妙的效果。我在日常生活中融入了一些小仪式，比如早上散步，以及午餐时间远离屏幕)”可知，回国后作者在业余时间花更多时间放松。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I find myself more focused in the lab, more patient with my students, and more present with my family. Productivity, I’ve realized, isn’t measured only by research papers and grants. It’s also sustained by presence, rest and the relationships that give meaning to the work.(我发觉自己在实验室里更加专注，对待学生更有耐心，陪伴家人时也更用心投入。我渐渐明白，工作效率并非只靠论文与项目经费来衡量。全身心的投入、适时的休整，以及为工作赋予意义的人际关系，同样是高效状态的长久支撑)”可知,最后一段作者提到生产力不仅仅由研究论文和资助来衡量，还包括当下的状态、休息以及赋予工作意义的人际关系，这表明作者生活哲学发生了转变，从单纯注重工作成果转变为更关注工作与生活的平衡以及生活的意义。 C Agricultural waste that is usually burned or left to rot (腐烂) could play a far bigger role in tackling climate change if it were instead used in long-lasting building materials, according to new research from the University of East London. Plants pull carbon from the air as they grow, but when plant waste burns or rots, that carbon returns to the atmosphere within months. But timing changes everything. Carbon released today heats the planet now, while carbon stored for years or decades delays that heat. The research looks at this timing closely. Instead of counting carbon in a single snapshot, it follows carbon over time. This approach shows that keeping plant fibers locked inside walls, panels or insulation (绝缘材料) can change the climate outcome in a lasting way. Some crop residues (残渣) are already used in insulation and composite boards. When these materials sit inside buildings, the carbon they contain stays put for decades. The study finds that simply stopping the open burning of agricultural residues and redirecting them into long-lived building products could deliver a sustained cooling effect over the next century. The effect grows stronger when clean energy replaces any biomass energy that gets pushed aside. While around 4.4 billion tons of agricultural residues are generated each year, only a small part is used in long-lived applications, with most being burned, used as animal feed, or left to rot. Even if the use of plant-based insulation grew quickly, it’d absorb only a small share of this material. The gap shows how finite current efforts are. Consequently, the research argues the construction industry needs to think bigger. Walls, floors, and panels made from plant fibers could move into the mainstream instead. Dr Bamdad Ayati, who led the study, said the findings pointed to an overlooked climate opportunity hiding in plain sight. “Each year, large volumes of agricultural residues are burned or left to decompose, returning carbon to the atmosphere,” he said. “Our research shows that if these fibers are redirected into long-lived building materials, they can store carbon for decades and produce a measurable cooling effect.” 28. What probably plays a key role in the impacts of plant waste on the climate? A. Time of carbon release. B. Ways of burning. C. Places for storing carbon. D. Speed of waste rot. 29. What will happen when crop residues become part of buildings? A. Less carbon will be produced. B. Climate change will slow down. C. The rooms will remain cool. D. Clean energy will be pushed aside. 30. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Significant. B. Ineffective. C. Urgent. D. Limited. 31. What does Dr Ayati consider the agricultural residues to be? A. A temporary fix. B. A growing threat. C. A hidden treasure. D. A complex problem. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述研究表明，将通常焚烧或腐烂的农业废料转化为长效建筑材料可实现长期固碳并产生持续的冷却效应，延缓气候变暖。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Carbon released today heats the planet now, while carbon stored for years or decades delays that heat. The research looks at this timing closely. Instead of counting carbon in a single snapshot, it follows carbon over time.(今天释放的碳会立即加热地球，而被储存数年甚至数十年的碳则会推迟这种热量的产生。这项研究仔细审视了这种时间差异。它不是在某个时间点对碳做一次性统计，而是追踪碳随时间推移的动态变化。)”可知，植物废弃物对气候的影响中，碳释放的时间可能起着关键作用。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When these materials sit inside buildings, the carbon they contain stays put for decades. The study finds that simply stopping the open burning of agricultural residues and redirecting them into long-lived building products could deliver a sustained cooling effect over the next century.(当这些材料被用于建筑中时，其中所含的碳可以被锁定数十年。研究发现，仅需停止露天焚烧农业残渣，并将其转化为长效建筑产品，就能在未来一个世纪内带来持续的降温效果。)”可知，当作物残渣被用于建筑物中时，气候变暖会延缓。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前“Even if the use of plant-based insulation grew quickly, it’d absorb only a small share of this material.(即使植物基隔热材料的使用增长迅速，它也只能吸收这类材料中的一小部分。)”可推断，当前的努力是有限的，所给单词意为“有限的”，与Limited意思一致。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Ayati博士所说的话“Our research shows that if these fibers are redirected into long-lived building materials, they can store carbon for decades and produce a measurable cooling effect.(我们的研究表明，如果将这些纤维转化为长效建筑材料，它们可以将碳储存数十年，并产生可测量的降温效果。)”可推断，Ayati博士认为这些农业残渣是一种未被发现的、可以应对气候变化的宝贵资源，即“隐藏的宝藏”。 D For decades, the story of early humans in East Asia was described as a technological backwater, a place where ancient hominins (人类) clung to simple stone tools while innovation existed elsewhere. That story began to unfold at Xigou, located within the Danjiangkou Reservoir Region of central China, where layers of earth quietly preserved a different past. As stone after stone appeared from the ground here, it became clear that Xigou was evidence of a forgotten chapter in human intelligence, one that stretched back between 160,000 and 72,000 years ago. The dig, led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed something amazing. Many tools were uncovered at Xigou and their shapes, sizes, and production methods spoke of deliberate planning and technical skill. Hominins at Xigou produced small flakes (薄片) and tools designed for a wide range of tasks, indicating a flexible approach to daily life. These weren’t one-purpose objects but tools born of experimentation and improvement, shaped to meet changing needs. Among all the discoveries at Xigou, what stood out were hafted stone tools, which combined stone components with handles, transforming sharp pieces into more efficient and controllable instruments. Hafting isn’t a simple act but requires multiple steps. A stone blade must be shaped to fit a handle, and the handle must be prepared to hold it. Dr. Jian-Ping Yue, the study’s lead author, described these tools as clear evidence of behavioral flexibility and originality. The site’s deposits (沉积物) span roughly 90,000 years, and across this vast stretch of time, hominins returned to the area again and again, leaving behind tools that chart an evolving relationship with their surroundings. As conditions shifted, the ability to improve tools, experiment with new techniques, and improve existing methods would have been essential. This reveals innovation as a steady process of adjustment and improvement. In the quiet stones of central China, early hominins left behind a message that waited thousands of years to be understood. It says innovation was never rare and that the roots of human creativity run deeper and wider than we once believed. 32. What does the author probably want to say about hominins at Xigou? A. They lacked motivation for life. B. They usually used stones passively. C. They were active problem-solvers. D. They were quite successful artists. 33. Why does the author mention Dr. Jian Ping Yue in paragraph 3? A. To describe stone tool-making steps. B. To show the creativity of early humans. C. To explain the challenge of the dig work. D. To prove the difficulty of finding the tools. 34. What do Xigou’s deposits show according to paragraph 4? A. Long-term technological continuity. B. Impacts of technological changes. C. The poor surroundings of the area. D. The increasing tool-making speed. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Early Human Life in East Asia B. Unearthing Stone Tools Recently C. The Work at Danjiangkou Reservoir D. Rethinking Early Human Innovation 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】中国丹江口水库区西沟遗址的考古发现，距今16 万至7.2万年间，该地区的古人类已能制造形状多样、用途灵活的石器，特别是出现了需要复杂认知与规划能力的带柄复合工具。该发现揭示了东亚古人类长期持续的技术创新行为，突破了该地区史前技术停滞的传统观点。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Many tools were uncovered at Xigou and their shapes, sizes, and production methods spoke of deliberate planning and technical skill. Hominins at Xigou produced small flakes (薄片) and tools designed for a wide range of tasks, indicating a flexible approach to daily life. These weren’t one-purpose objects but tools born of experimentation and improvement, shaped to meet changing needs. (在西沟遗址中发现了许多工具，其形状、尺寸以及制造方法都显示出精心的规划和高超的技术水平。西沟的原始人类制造出了小石片和各种用途的工具，这表明他们对日常生活有着灵活的处理方式。这些并非单一用途的物品，而是通过试验和改进而诞生的工具，其形状是为了适应不断变化的需求而设计的。)”可推断，西沟古人类能积极适应环境，善于解决问题。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Hafting isn’t a simple act but requires multiple steps. A stone blade must be shaped to fit a handle, and the handle must be prepared to hold it. Dr. Jian-Ping Yue, the study’s lead author, described these tools as clear evidence of behavioral flexibility and originality. (安装刀柄并非是一件简单的事情，而是需要多个步骤。石制刀刃必须经过加工以适配刀柄，而刀柄也必须经过处理以能够容纳刀刃。该研究的首席作者岳剑平博士将这些工具描述为展现行为灵活性和创新性的明确证据。)”可知，作者提到岳剑平博士是为了强调西沟古人类在工具制作中表现出的创新与适应能力。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The site’s deposits (沉积物) span roughly 90,000 years, and across this vast stretch of time, hominins returned to the area again and again, leaving behind tools that chart an evolving relationship with their surroundings. As conditions shifted, the ability to improve tools, experiment with new techniques, and improve existing methods would have been essential. This reveals innovation as a steady process of adjustment and improvement. (该遗址的沉积物年代跨度约为9万年，在这漫长的时间里，原始人类多次回到这片区域，留下了各种工具，这些工具记录了他们与周围环境关系的不断演变。随着环境条件的变化，改进工具、尝试新方法以及优化现有方法的能力就显得至关重要。这表明创新是一个持续的调整和改进的过程。)”可推断，该区域的沉积物体现的是技术的长期延续性。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For decades, the story of early humans in East Asia was described as a technological backwater, a place where ancient hominins (人类) clung to simple stone tools while innovation existed elsewhere. That story began to unfold at Xigou, located within the Danjiangkou Reservoir Region of central China, where layers of earth quietly preserved a different past. As stone after stone appeared from the ground here, it became clear that Xigou was evidence of a forgotten chapter in human intelligence, one that stretched back between 160,000 and 72,000 years ago. (数十年来，东亚地区早期人类的历史一直被描述为一个技术落后的地区，那里古老的原始人类仅使用简单的石器工具，而其他地方却在不断创新。这一叙述开始在位于中国中部丹江口水库区域的西沟地区得到展现。这里层层叠叠的土壤默默地保存着一段不同的历史。随着一块块石头从地下露出，人们逐渐明白，西沟是人类智慧中一段被遗忘篇章的证据，这段历史可以追溯到约16万至7.2万年前。)”以及文章以传统观点为引子，通过西沟遗址的工具发现，系统说明了早期人类在东亚同样具有技术灵活性和创新性，并在结尾总结“创新的根源比我们曾经认为的更深、更广”。故D项“重新审视早期人类的创新活动”适合作本文标题。 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。 While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out-one country is reserving the start of the weekend for relaxation. ____36____ Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home. It’s all about creating space for closeness and ease after a long and busy workweek. The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth. ____37____ Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over. Almost every Swede practices this at least once a month, showing their appreciation for balance in life. ____38____ Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos. This tradition prioritizes feeling good over social status and productivity, a sign of Sweden’s emphasis on balancing work and rest. Placing importance on productivity may lead to burnout. Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion. ____39____ At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health. Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge. ____40____ Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough! A. The term first appeared in a newspaper in 1994. B. Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction. C. In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm. D. Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home. E. Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress. F. Without noise or crowds, people tend to be more present with one another. G. Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. B 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了瑞典盛行名为Fredagsmys的周五居家放松习俗，当地气候助推它流行。该传统可缓解压力、呵护身心，如今也渐渐在世界各地传播开来。 【36题详解】 上文“While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out— one country is re serving the start of the weekend for relaxation.( 虽然在世界上的许多地方，周五晚上意味着外出，但有一个国家把周末的开始留给了放松。)”对比“多数国家周五外出”，引出“有一个国家偏爱放松”；下文“Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home.( 许多瑞典人不会立即为一场盛大的晚间外出活动做准备，而是遵循Fredagsmys这一令人感到安心的仪式，通过在家中的慢节奏生活来开启周末。)”可知，空处需要一个承上启下的句子，既呼应前文所指的“一个国家”，又引出下文的瑞典具体习俗。C项“In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm.( 在瑞典，一个典型的周五夜晚遵循一种让人放松的节奏。)”符合，它完美地承接了上句对“一个国家”的暗示，并引出下句的详细解释。 【37题详解】 上文“The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth.(“Fredagsmys”这个词结合了“fredag”（瑞典语中“周五”的意思）和“mys”（表示舒适和温暖的词汇）。)”拆解了单词 Fredagsmys 的两个组成部分及含义；下文“Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over.( 享受游戏，或许还能分享一份披萨，在一种轻松的氛围中度过，这标志着工作周的结束。)”开始描述具体活动。空格需总结这两个单词组合后的整体含义。G项“Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa.( 这些词共同呈现了一个在家中的沙发上度过的轻松周五夜晚。)”符合此推断，它紧承上句的词汇解析，并自然引出下句对具体活动场景的描述。 【38题详解】 下文“Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos.( 瑞典漫长的、寒冷且黑暗的冬季自然促使人们进行室内聚会，而Fredagsmys则提供了一种无需额外努力就能保持联系的方式。“在寒冷和黑暗的月份里，对于我们瑞典人来说，Fredagsmys是一种即使疲惫时也能与亲人保持联系的方式，”情感治疗师索菲·罗斯说道。)”整段围绕“瑞典漫长寒冷黑暗的冬天催生了室内聚会的需求，Fredagsmys 恰好满足了这一点”展开。空格处需要作为本段主题句，点明气候和生活方式对该传统的影响。B项“Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction.( 气候和生活方式共同塑造了它的吸引力。)”Climate对应下文 long, cold, and dark winters，总领全段，为最佳主题句。 【39题详解】 上文“Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion.( Fredagsmys提供了一种内置的暂停，每周的界限可以防止这种疲惫。)”提到该习俗能缓解工作疲惫；下文段落“At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health.( 在忙碌的一周结束后，有意地放慢节奏能够恢复平衡、加强人际关系，并有助于维护心理健康。)”又提到它“有益于心理健康”。空格需要递进补充好处，起到过渡作用。E项“Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress.( 此外，它还能缓解压力，对心理健康产生积极影响。)”Additionally（此外）表递进；mental health衔接下一段核心内容，过渡自然。 【40题详解】 上文“Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge.( 也许Fredagsmys已经传遍世界，因为它满足了人们放松和充电的共同需求。)”说明该习俗在全球流行的原因；后文“Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough!( 仅仅庆祝这种温馨简约的生活方式，并认为这已经足够就好啦！)”是一句抒情呼吁（享受简单美好）。空格需要从“介绍习俗”转为向读者提出建议，语气保持一致。D项“Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home.( 这个周末，就从居家陪伴挚爱之人开始吧。)”同为祈使句式，贴合文末呼吁的语境，完美收束全文。 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。 There may not be a more honored high school athete in Utah than 17-year-old Matt Nadauld.

The festivities were vibrant (充满生机的), and I felt truly ____58____ (welcome) into their traditions. Impressed by that sense of ____59____ (together) and celebration, I was grateful to be part of it. While that experience connected me to traditional Chinese culture, the daily culture of efficiency and innovation is equally striking.

A folding table with snacks and drinks sat a few feet away. What if nobody showed up? Upstate New York was different from my native South Africa. Maybe people thought it was strange for us to throw our own welcome party. Embarrassment began to set in. The idea came to me the day we moved in June, a month earlier. With each basketball hoop (球框) and swing set passing, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together-at last, a real community! “Let’s invite the neighbors to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway. This longing for connection wasn’t new; it reminded me of my childhood in Cape Town. In Cape Town, where I grew up, our whole neighborhood would go outside in the evenings to socialize. There were no fences, no sense of where one family’s yard ended and another’s began. People set out long tables. What if I’d create a strong neighborhood, where neighbors could care about each other? I wasn’t going to wait around for neighbors to reach out. That’s why I’d spoken out my idea right there. Sarah and the girls were all for it. Now, a month later, that hope was about to be put to the test. Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to pass the time. A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations: Hello! We’re new to the neighborhood-the Sprout Family. We’d love to meet you. Saturday, July 5, anytime between 6:00 and 8:00 pm. She and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in each of the 12 other mailboxes on Whitney Drive, including The Hernandezs and the Browns. But we hadn’t heard a word since. I checked my watch: 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged. 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, down the street something caught my eye. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the evening unfolded, I watched our neighbors chatting over drinks. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Just then, down the street something caught my eye. The Hernandez family from two houses down were walking towards us, their young son waving hands eagerly. A wave of relief washed over me, followed by a surge of that old Cape Town warmth. Soon, others appeared — Ms. Brown, with a plate of cookies, curious and smiling. The quiet driveway gradually filled with chatter and laughter. Sarah’s basket of chips was passed around, and our twins taught the neighbor kids how to play beanbag toss. As the evening unfolded, I watched our neighbors chatting over drinks. Mr. Hernandez offered to help with a tricky fence repair I’d mentioned. Ms. Brown recalled how the street used to have block parties decades ago. The others also had endless stories to share. At that moment, surrounded by these new faces under the gentle summer sky, I felt the familiar, profound sense of belonging I had longed for. The community wasn’t just a picture in my mind anymore; it was taking root right here on Whitney Drive, one conversation at a time. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者一家从南非搬到纽约上州后，效仿家乡邻里相处的模式，主动筹办邻里迎新派对。他起初担心无人赴约、场面尴尬，此前挨家派送邀请函也未收到回应。好在派对当晚邻居们陆续前来，大家相谈甚欢、互帮互助。最终作者如愿感受到了久违的归属感，温馨的邻里情谊在此慢慢扎根。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写派对当晚邻居们陆续前来，大家相谈甚欢、互帮互助。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写最终作者如愿感受到了久违的归属感，温馨的邻里情谊在此慢慢扎根。 2.续写线索：邻居前来——相谈甚欢——互帮互助——相处愉快——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：fill with/be full of ②出现：appear/show up ③席卷：wash over/flood over 情绪类 ①渴望：long for/yearn for ②急切地：eagerly/enthusiastically 【点睛】[高分句型1] The Hernandez family from two houses down were walking towards us, their young son waving hands eagerly.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Ms. Brown recalled how the street used to have block parties decades ago.（运用了how引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 注意事项： 1. 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is troubling the man?

In 2025, a short-term Fulbright fellowship took me to Uruguay, where I thought there would be three months of intense lab work. I was depressed to learn that the bus to the institute ran on a schedule that limited our work hours to 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Mornings started with shared tea and conversations about our weekends, followed later by an extended lunch break that was sacred (神圣的). I felt impatient. I was still working long hours, but the built-in breaks, which often included an evening snack or walk on the street, made all the difference. I still got my work done, and the slower rhythm also left space for deeper thinking, both in my experiments and in my life. A calmness set in, and I found myself laughing more and sleeping better. Midway through my fellowship, my family arrived for an extended visit, and I took 3 weeks off for a once-in-a-lifetime journey. We wandered through neighborhoods, stood in silence under a desert sky heavy with stars, and felt the thunder of waterfalls flooding us in mist. I began to notice my daughter’s fascination with seashells, and my son’s growing ease with strangers. When my fellowship ended 8 months ago and I returned, I no longer treated evenings and weekends as time to catch up on unfinished work; instead, I reserved them for my family and myself. Blocking my calendar so that nobody can schedule a meeting during my off-hours and letting my lab members know when I’ll be available has worked wonders. I’ve built small rituals (仪式) into my routine, such as a morning walk, and a lunch break away from the screen. These modest changes have reshaped the texture (质感) of my days. I find myself more focused in the lab, more patient with my students, and more present with my family. Productivity, I’ve realized, isn’t measured only by research papers and grants. It’s also sustained by presence, rest and the relationships that give meaning to the work. 24. How did the author initially feel about the work schedule in Uruguay? A. Disappointed. B. Hopeless. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. 25. What major change did the Uruguay experience bring to the author? A. Longer working hours. B. Higher research productivity. C. Better work-life balance. D. Increased lab responsibilities. 26. What did the author do in his spare time after returning to his country? A. He often helped in neighborhoods. B. He was busier with his research. C. He travelled a lot with his family. D. He spent more time relaxing. 27. What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph? A. A good career move. B. A shift in life philosophy. C. A new academic model. D. A traditional work culture. C Agricultural waste that is usually burned or left to rot (腐烂) could play a far bigger role in tackling climate change if it were instead used in long-lasting building materials, according to new research from the University of East London. Plants pull carbon from the air as they grow, but when plant waste burns or rots, that carbon returns to the atmosphere within months. But timing changes everything. Carbon released today heats the planet now, while carbon stored for years or decades delays that heat. The research looks at this timing closely. Instead of counting carbon in a single snapshot, it follows carbon over time. This approach shows that keeping plant fibers locked inside walls, panels or insulation (绝缘材料) can change the climate outcome in a lasting way. Some crop residues (残渣) are already used in insulation and composite boards. When these materials sit inside buildings, the carbon they contain stays put for decades. The study finds that simply stopping the open burning of agricultural residues and redirecting them into long-lived building products could deliver a sustained cooling effect over the next century. The effect grows stronger when clean energy replaces any biomass energy that gets pushed aside. While around 4.4 billion tons of agricultural residues are generated each year, only a small part is used in long-lived applications, with most being burned, used as animal feed, or left to rot. Even if the use of plant-based insulation grew quickly, it’d absorb only a small share of this material. The gap shows how finite current efforts are. Consequently, the research argues the construction industry needs to think bigger. Walls, floors, and panels made from plant fibers could move into the mainstream instead. Dr Bamdad Ayati, who led the study, said the findings pointed to an overlooked climate opportunity hiding in plain sight. “Each year, large volumes of agricultural residues are burned or left to decompose, returning carbon to the atmosphere,” he said. “Our research shows that if these fibers are redirected into long-lived building materials, they can store carbon for decades and produce a measurable cooling effect.” 28. What probably plays a key role in the impacts of plant waste on the climate? A. Time of carbon release. B. Ways of burning. C. Places for storing carbon. D. Speed of waste rot. 29. What will happen when crop residues become part of buildings? A. Less carbon will be produced. B. Climate change will slow down. C. The rooms will remain cool. D. Clean energy will be pushed aside. 30. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Significant. B. Ineffective. C. Urgent. D. Limited. 31. What does Dr Ayati consider the agricultural residues to be? A. A temporary fix. B. A growing threat. C. A hidden treasure. D. A complex problem. D For decades, the story of early humans in East Asia was described as a technological backwater, a place where ancient hominins (人类) clung to simple stone tools while innovation existed elsewhere. That story began to unfold at Xigou, located within the Danjiangkou Reservoir Region of central China, where layers of earth quietly preserved a different past. As stone after stone appeared from the ground here, it became clear that Xigou was evidence of a forgotten chapter in human intelligence, one that stretched back between 160,000 and 72,000 years ago. The dig, led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed something amazing. Many tools were uncovered at Xigou and their shapes, sizes, and production methods spoke of deliberate planning and technical skill. Hominins at Xigou produced small flakes (薄片) and tools designed for a wide range of tasks, indicating a flexible approach to daily life. These weren’t one-purpose objects but tools born of experimentation and improvement, shaped to meet changing needs. Among all the discoveries at Xigou, what stood out were hafted stone tools, which combined stone components with handles, transforming sharp pieces into more efficient and controllable instruments. Hafting isn’t a simple act but requires multiple steps. A stone blade must be shaped to fit a handle, and the handle must be prepared to hold it. Dr. Jian-Ping Yue, the study’s lead author, described these tools as clear evidence of behavioral flexibility and originality. The site’s deposits (沉积物) span roughly 90,000 years, and across this vast stretch of time, hominins returned to the area again and again, leaving behind tools that chart an evolving relationship with their surroundings. As conditions shifted, the ability to improve tools, experiment with new techniques, and improve existing methods would have been essential. This reveals innovation as a steady process of adjustment and improvement. In the quiet stones of central China, early hominins left behind a message that waited thousands of years to be understood. It says innovation was never rare and that the roots of human creativity run deeper and wider than we once believed. 32. What does the author probably want to say about hominins at Xigou? A. They lacked motivation for life. B. They usually used stones passively. C. They were active problem-solvers. D. They were quite successful artists. 33. Why does the author mention Dr. Jian Ping Yue in paragraph 3? A. To describe stone tool-making steps. B. To show the creativity of early humans. C. To explain the challenge of the dig work. D. To prove the difficulty of finding the tools. 34. What do Xigou’s deposits show according to paragraph 4? A. Long-term technological continuity. B. Impacts of technological changes. C. The poor surroundings of the area. D. The increasing tool-making speed. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Early Human Life in East Asia B. Unearthing Stone Tools Recently C. The Work at Danjiangkou Reservoir D. Rethinking Early Human Innovation 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。 While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out-one country is reserving the start of the weekend for relaxation. ____36____ Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home. It’s all about creating space for closeness and ease after a long and busy workweek. The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth. ____37____ Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over. Almost every Swede practices this at least once a month, showing their appreciation for balance in life. ____38____ Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos. This tradition prioritizes feeling good over social status and productivity, a sign of Sweden’s emphasis on balancing work and rest. Placing importance on productivity may lead to burnout. Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion. ____39____ At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health. Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge. ____40____ Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough! A. The term first appeared in a newspaper in 1994. B. Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction. C. In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm. D. Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home. E. Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress. F. Without noise or crowds, people tend to be more present with one another. G. Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa. 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。 There may not be a more honored high school athete in Utah than 17-year-old Matt Nadauld.

A folding table with snacks and drinks sat a few feet away. What if nobody showed up? Upstate New York was different from my native South Africa. Maybe people thought it was strange for us to throw our own welcome party. Embarrassment began to set in. The idea came to me the day we moved in June, a month earlier. With each basketball hoop (球框) and swing set passing, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together-at last, a real community! “Let’s invite the neighbors to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway. This longing for connection wasn’t new; it reminded me of my childhood in Cape Town. In Cape Town, where I grew up, our whole neighborhood would go outside in the evenings to socialize. There were no fences, no sense of where one family’s yard ended and another’s began. People set out long tables. What if I’d create a strong neighborhood, where neighbors could care about each other? I wasn’t going to wait around for neighbors to reach out. That’s why I’d spoken out my idea right there. Sarah and the girls were all for it. Now, a month later, that hope was about to be put to the test. Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to pass the time. A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations: Hello! We’re new to the neighborhood-the Sprout Family. We’d love to meet you. Saturday, July 5, anytime between 6:00 and 8:00 pm. She and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in each of the 12 other mailboxes on Whitney Drive, including The Hernandezs and the Browns. But we hadn’t heard a word since. I checked my watch: 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged. 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, down the street something caught my eye. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the evening unfolded, I watched our neighbors chatting over drinks. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语科听力部分，请看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。You look last in thought, is everything all right?
