But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest, stretching across nearly 2 million acres between Phoenix and Flagstaff. How to Get There Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive. About the Forest Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Today, its three districts protect 10 wilderness areas home to elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats. Hiking Information Trails: 482 trails extending hundreds of miles Pass Required: 1. Red Rock Pass: $5 per day (for individuals only) 2. All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families) Top Trails: Devil’s Bridge Trail: 3.9-mile out-and-back hike to a huge sandstone arch. Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point. Grand Canyon view available on clear days from Humphreys Peak. Stay Options The forest has 24 campsites and 4 cabins. Clints Well Campground charges $8 per night and stays open year-round. If you prefer a roof, hotels in Flagstaff or Sedona Views Bed and Breakfast (11.2 miles away) are good choices. 1. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To describe various Forest wildlife. B. To explain how to get a hiking pass. C. To introduce a less crowded scenic spot. D. To compare the Grand Canyon with Coconino. 2. What is the budget-friendly pass option for a family of four hiking for 3 days? A. Four Red Rock Passes. B. Twelve Red Rock Passes. C. One All-Inclusive Annual Pass. D. Four All-Inclusive Annual Passes. 3. What can be learned about Humphreys Peak? A. It is an easy hike for beginners. B. It is located inside the Grand Canyon. C. It is the most popular trail in the forest. D. It is higher than any other mountain in Arizona. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一处人少景美的科科尼诺国家森林及游玩相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“The Grand Canyon welcomed 4.9 million visitors in 2024. But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest.(大峡谷在2024年迎来了490万游客。但有一个同样令人叹为观止且人少得多的地方。它叫科科尼诺国家森林。)”可知，文章主要目的是介绍这个人少的景点。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Pass Required中“Red Rock Pass: $5 per day(for individuals only)(红石通行证：每天5美元，仅限个人)”和“All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families)(全包年票：80美元，适用于个人和家庭)”可知，四口之家徒步3天：若买红石通行证，需4人×3天=12张，共12×5=60美元；若买全包年票需80美元。60美元<80美元，故12张红石通行证最划算。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Top Trails:中“Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point.(卡奇纳峰步道：9.6英里徒步到汉弗莱斯峰（12633英尺），亚利桑那州的最高点。)”可知，汉弗莱斯峰是亚利桑那州最高峰，即比该州任何其他山都高。 B At 39, Zhang Xue doesn’t care much about fame. Dressed in his own brand’s biker jacket, he told reporters, “None of you would be here if someone hadn’t pushed for you to be here.” His words made many uncomfortable. Yet just days earlier, his motorcycle had made history — winning two World Supersport races in Portugal, beating giants like Ducati and Honda. Zhang’s journey was never easy. Born into a poor farming family, at 16, it was by chance that he became passionate about motorcycles. “I’ve ridden every day since then,” he says. But being a self-taught rider with no connections meant no racing team would notice him. So at 19, he did something clever: he repeatedly called a popular TV show until a journalist agreed to meet him. His first performance was a disaster. Due to extreme nerves, his old motorcycle, or the lack of grip (抓牢) in the mountainous terrain, he fell off several times. The staff drove away. Refusing to give up, Zhang chased (追逐) their car for over 100 km in the rain for three hours. Moved by his persistence, they filmed him again. This time, he nailed difficult stunts. The broadcast, titled The Wind-Chasing Youth, got him noticed by professional teams. After years of racing and engineering work, Zhang moved to Chongqing, China’s “Motorcycle Capital”. With only 20, 000 yuan, he started by buying spare parts and sharing his work online. In 2017, he co-founded Kove Moto, which soon became a leader in large-displacement motorcycles. But fame and fortune meant little to him. “I don’t want to be a businessman sitting in meetings,” he says. “I want to be a hands-on engineer again.” So in 2024, he left to start his own brand, ZXMOTO. Today, ZXMOTO is growing fast. “Our advantages are low costs and high efficiency. In terms of high-end manufacturing, we are neck and neck with Europe and the US,” he says. Zhang’s ultimate dream is to put a Chinese motorcycle on the top step of MotoGP, the “Formula 1 of two wheels”. “WSBK is just the beginning,” he says. “I won’t stop until a Chinese bike stands on a MotoGP podium.” 4. What did the chase after the TV staff reflect about Zhang? A. His physical fitness. B. His determination to follow a dream. C. His persistence in business. D. His super skills in motorcycle riding. 5. Why did Zhang leave Kove Moto? A. The company was losing money. B. His investors asked him to leave. C. He wanted full control of production. D. He preferred engineering to management. 6. What can be inferred from Zhang’s view on Chinese manufacturing? A. It will never catch up with Europe. B. It lacks experience in high-end areas. C. It still depends too much on low costs. D. It has closed the gap with developed nations. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of a famous racing event in Portugal. B. Why Chinese motorcycles now lead the global market. C. How a self-taught mechanic defeated industrial giants. D. The business competition between Kove and ZXMOTO. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了农村青年张雪从贫困出身到创立摩托车品牌追逐世界冠军梦想的励志故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Born into a poor farming family, at 16, it was by chance that he became passionate about motorcycles. “I’ve ridden every day since then,” he says. But being a self-taught rider with no connections meant no racing team would notice him. So at 19, he did something clever: he repeatedly called a popular TV show until a journalist agreed to meet him. His first performance was a disaster. Due to extreme nerves, his old motorcycle, or the lack of grip (抓牢) in the mountainous terrain, he fell off several times. The staff drove away. Refusing to give up, Zhang chased (追逐) their car for over 100 km in the rain for three hours. Moved by his persistence, they filmed him again.(出身贫寒农家的他，16岁时因一次偶然的机会迷上了摩托车。“从那天起，我每天都骑车，”他说。但作为一名没有师承、也没有人脉的自学骑手，没有车队愿意多看他一眼。于是19岁那年，他使出了绝招：反复致电一档热门电视节目，直到一位记者答意见面。然而，他的首次亮相堪称灾难——由于过度紧张，加上旧摩托车的抓地力不足，他在山地赛道上连摔数次。工作人员直接驾车离去。但张雪没有放弃，冒着大雨追着汽车跑了三个小时，狂奔超过100公里。被这份执着打动，节目组重新为他拍摄)”可知，张雪在首次表演失败后仍不放弃，冒雨追车三小时，这一行为体现的是他对梦想的执着与决心，而非体力、商业能力或骑行技术。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I don’t want to be a businessman sitting in meetings,” he says. “I want to be a hands-on engineer again.” So in 2024, he left to start his own brand, ZXMOTO.(“我不想当个坐在会议室里的商人，”他说，“我想重新做回一名实操工程师。”于是2024年，他离开虬龙，创办个人品牌ZXMOTO)”可知，张雪离开Kove Moto的原因是他不喜欢管理工作，更想亲自做工程师。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In terms of high-end manufacturing, we are neck and neck with Europe and the US(在高端制造方面，我们与欧美并驾齐驱)”可知，张雪认为中国在高端制造领域已与欧美不相上下，说明差距已大幅缩小。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了张雪出身贫寒、自学摩托车、多次被拒仍不放弃、最终击败杜卡迪和本田等巨头并创立自己品牌的完整经历。C选项“How a self-taught mechanic defeated industrial giants.(一个自学成才的机械师如何击败工业巨头。)”符合题意。 C Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it — yet less than their exhausted parents would like. But, despite its universality, sleep remains a mysterious process. Indeed, although sleep seems to be crucial for physical and mental well-being, scientists are still trying to work out its biological logic. Research points to a theory, which suggests that the brain needs to “reset” periodically to keep the mind in good operating order — with exciting hints that sleep’s effect on the gut (肠道) might also come into play. Not only is getting enough sleep satisfying in its own right, but it also has a broader effect on health. Evidence indicates that people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than people who sleep longer. A theory first proposed more than ten years ago holds that sleep helps the brain to clear out tau protein, which contributes to this neurodegenerative (神经退行) condition. But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the correlation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition. Sleep can also help to address a less-severe and more-common health issue than dementia (痴呆): the desire to lose weight. A leading sleep specialist explains how longer sleep leads to people consuming fewer calories and losing kilograms. And weight loss lowers the risk of sleep apnoea, in which a person’s breathing during sleep is interrupted, and, in turn, lessens the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep scientists have no shortage of questions to explore. These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning. 8. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1? A. To highlight the widespread nature of sleep. B. To explain why babies sleep less than adults. C. To introduce the biological definition of sleep. D. To compare the sleep habits of different species. 9. Why is it hard to develop Alzheimer’s prevention strategies based on sleep research? A. Proteins harm sleep indirectly. B. Short sleep prevents Alzheimer’s. C. No debate is over their connection. D. The sleep-Alzheimer’s link is unclear. 10. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph? A. Mood disorders directly lead to heart disease. B. Early morning classes are effective for weight loss. C. Some common habits carry unexpected health risks. D. Night-time illumination is beneficial for mental health. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Babies Need More Sleep B. Where Napping Benefits Our Body C. What Scientists Learn about Sleep D. How to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了睡眠对大脑、阿尔茨海默病、体重等健康的影响及科学家的最新研究与未解之谜。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it(鸟会睡觉，蜜蜂会睡觉，甚至没有中枢神经系统的动物也会睡觉。当然婴儿也会睡觉)”可知，第一段通过列举鸟、蜜蜂、无中枢神经的动物、婴儿等不同物种都会睡觉，目的是说明睡眠是一种普遍现象。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the correlation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition.(但在过去几年里，关于这种关联背后的生理学机制，科学界展开了一场激烈的争论。由此产生的不确定性，使得我们更难利用睡眠与阿尔茨海默病之间的相关性，去制定预防这种毁灭性疾病发生的策略。)”可知，由于睡眠与阿尔茨海默病之间的生理联系尚存争议、不够明确，导致难以据此开发预防策略。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning.(其中包括夜间照明与情绪障碍之间的关联、午睡反而可能增加心脏病风险的令人沮丧的发现，以及证实大学过早的早课会打击出勤率并影响学习效果的那些研究。)”可知，午睡和早课都是常见习惯，却分别带来健康风险和学习效率下降等意想不到的负面影响。一些常见习惯带有意想不到的健康风险。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从睡眠的普遍性入手，介绍了睡眠对大脑重置、阿尔茨海默病、体重管理等方面的科学发现，并指出许多问题仍在争论中。C选项“What Scientists Learn about Sleep(科学家对睡眠的了解)”最能概括全文主旨。 D Why do we cry happy tears? Tears are usually seen as a sign of sadness, but people often cry during joyful moments like weddings, births and reunions. These “happy tears” seem contradictory, yet they show how the human brain deals with intense emotion. Crying is a biological response to emotional overload, making no difference between positive and negative feelings. Strong emotions activate the brain’s feeling-related system. The amygdala (杏仁体) works as an emotional alarm bell to sense excitement and send signals to the body. It further activates the hypothalamus, which controls involuntary actions such as heartbeat and tear production. The anterior cingulate cortex (前扣带脑皮质) helps manage mixed emotions, explaining why great joy can cause reactions connected with sadness. Scientists regard happy crying as emotional homeostasis. It helps people return to calmness after extreme excitement. Crying relaxes the body by slowing heart rates and easing tension after adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises. It balances opposite feelings — relief from fear, gratitude after hardship, and pride from struggle. In fact, happy tears seldom come from pure joy. They arise from mixed feelings, known as a double-balance response. When people feel joyful, the brain will recall past memories of loss or struggle, making them emotional. Humans are the only animals that cry out of emotion. This ability developed as a silent way of communication. Happy tears show sincerity, build social bonds, bring empathy and shared emotional relief. Above all, they prove human emotions are complex, rich and meaningful. 12. What can we learn about crying from paragraph 2? A. The amygdala controls our heart rate and tears. B. Brain structures produce emotional tears jointly. C. Happy feelings cannot activate the brain system. D. Tears only appear when people feel sad and painful. 13. What does the underlined word “homeostasis” most probably mean? A. internal balance. B. sudden excitement. C. psychological control. D. physical weakness. 14. How does emotional crying function in humans? A. It helps strengthen social connections. B. It shows joy rather than mixed feelings. C. It frees people from negative memories. D. It results from empathy and shared relief. 15. What is the purpose of the whole passage? A. To argue crying builds social bonds. B. To illustrate why joy can cause crying. C. To compare happy tears and sad tears. D. To describe how the brain controls tears. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要探究人们流下喜悦泪水的原因，从大脑运作、情绪调节及社交意义等方面展开详细解读。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Strong emotions activate the brain’s feeling-related system. The amygdala (杏仁体) works as an emotional alarm bell to sense excitement and send signals to the body. It further activates the hypothalamus, which controls involuntary actions such as heartbeat and tear production. The anterior cingulate cortex (前扣带脑皮质) helps manage mixed emotions, explaining why great joy can cause reactions connected with sadness. (强烈的情绪会激活大脑的情感相关系统。杏仁体如同情绪警报器，感知情绪并向身体发送信号，进而激活下丘脑，下丘脑控制心跳、流泪等无意识行为。前扣带脑皮质负责处理复杂情绪，这也解释了为何极度喜悦会引发类似悲伤的反应。)”可知，大脑多个结构共同作用，催生情绪性流泪。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线单词后的“It helps people return to calmness after extreme excitement. Crying relaxes the body by slowing heart rates and easing tension after adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises. It balances opposite feelings — relief from fear, gratitude after hardship, and pride from struggle. (它能帮助人们在极度激动后恢复平静。肾上腺素飙升时，哭泣会减缓心率、舒缓紧绷感，让身体放松。它还能调和对立情绪：恐惧消散后的释然、历经艰辛后的感恩、奋力拼搏后的自豪。)”可知，流泪可以调节情绪、维持身心的内在平衡，由此推断，划线单词意为“内在平衡”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Happy tears show sincerity, build social bonds, bring empathy and shared emotional relief. (喜悦的泪水彰显真诚，建立社交联结，带来共情与共同的情绪舒缓。)”可知，情绪性流泪有助于加强人际社交联系。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Why do we cry happy tears? Tears are usually seen as a sign of sadness, but people often cry during joyful moments like weddings, births and reunions. These “happy tears” seem contradictory, yet they show how the human brain deals with intense emotion. (我们为什么会流下喜悦的泪水？泪水通常被看作悲伤的标志，但人们常在婚礼、新生命降临、久别重逢等欢乐时刻落泪。这类喜悦的泪水看似矛盾，却体现出大脑处理强烈情绪的方式。)”可知，全文围绕喜悦为何会使人落泪展开论述，写作目的就是解释这一现象。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A study shows that over 20% of the videos YouTube shows to new users are low-quality AI-made videos. ____16____.

These AI video channels are popular in many countries. In Spain, 20 million people follow them, nearly half the country’s population. ____19____. Some channels are made for children, like Pouty Frenchie from Singapore. It has 2 billion views and tells stories about a cute dog with children’s laughter as background music. ____20____. Experts say its funny and strange style makes it well-liked. Besides, these videos have no real story, so people all over the world can understand them easily. Some people make a living by making such videos, but the job is not easy. YouTube says it will keep providing good content and remove videos that break its rules. A. Why is this kind of video so popular? B. We call this kind of content “AI trash”. C. YouTube is one of the world’s most popular video websites. D. And it found that 278 of these channels have poor AI content. E. Many students enjoy watching videos on YouTube in their free time. F. It is becoming more and more common on big social media platforms. G. In Egypt and the US, the numbers reach 18 million and 14.5 million respectively. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. F 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述YouTube上低质量AI视频泛滥的现象、制作动机、全球流行数据及受欢迎原因。 【16题详解】 由上文“A study shows that over 20% of the videos YouTube shows to new users are low-quality AI-made videos. (一项研究表明，YouTube向新用户展示的视频中，超过20%是低质量的AI制作视频。)”及下文“People make them only to get more views and make money. (人们制作它们仅仅是为了获取更多点击量和赚钱。)”可知，上文提出了低质量AI视频的现象，下文解释了制作动机，本空需要一个过渡句，对这种内容进行定性命名。B选项“我们称这种内容为‘AI垃圾’。”能承上启下，既总结了上文提到的低质量AI视频，又引出了下文对其制作目的的说明。 【17题详解】 由上文“It researched 15,000 of the most popular YouTube channels around the world. (它调查了全球15000个最受欢迎的YouTube频道。)”及下文“However, they have gained more than 63 billion views and 221 million followers, and they make about 117 million dollars every year. (然而，它们获得了超过630亿的点击量、2.21亿粉丝，并且每年赚取约1.17亿美元。)”可知，上文说调查了15000个频道，下文用“However”转折，强调这些频道的巨大影响力（流量和收益），说明虽然数量占比可能不大，但效果显著。因此本空应具体指出在这15000个频道中，有多少是生产劣质AI内容的。D选项“并且发现其中有278个频道包含劣质AI内容。”能衔接上下文，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由上文“This kind of content is growing very fast.

(在西班牙，有2000万人关注它们，几乎占该国人口的一半。)”及下文“Some channels are made for children, like Pouty Frenchie from Singapore. (一些频道是针对儿童制作的，比如来自新加坡的Pouty Frenchie。)”可知，上文列举了西班牙的数据，下文转而介绍具体的频道案例，本空应继续列举其他国家的数据，以保持结构的连贯性。G选项“在埃及和美国，这个数字分别达到了1800万和1450万。”延续了上文列举国家的模式，提供了更多数据支撑，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由下文“Experts say its funny and strange style makes it well-liked. (专家表示，其有趣且奇怪的风格使其广受欢迎。)”可知，下文解释了这类视频受欢迎的原因，因此本空应是一个关于“为何流行”的设问句。A选项“为什么这类视频如此受欢迎？”能直接引出下文的专家分析，起到总领作用，符合语境。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Despite her ____21____ age of 80, Devi Choudhury has fully committed herself to protecting the Monarch, a beautiful butterfly species now facing serious extinction risks.

She puts the tiny eggs in covered glass boxes indoors and waits ______ for them to develop. Four days later, small caterpillars come out; in a few weeks, they turn into quiet chrysalises (蛹). Finally, adult butterflies come out of their shells two weeks ______ .”可知，下文描述了从产卵到成蝶长达数周甚至两个月的过程可知，这很耗费时间。 【28题详解】 考查副词。 句意：她把微小的卵放在室内带盖的玻璃盒中，耐心地等待它们发育。A. casually随意地；B. patiently耐心地；C. anxiously焦虑地；D. silently沉默地。根据下文“for them to develop. Four days later, small caterpillars come out”可知，昆虫孵化不是一天就能完成，观察昆虫孵化需要极大的耐心。 【29题详解】 考查副词。 句意：最后，两周后，成年蝴蝶破壳而出。A. ahead向前；B. earlier更早；C. apart分开；D. later后来、之后。根据时间线“Four days later, small caterpillars come out; in a few weeks, they turn into quiet chrysalises (蛹).

During it, they talked about the school’s approaching prom (舞会). Alondra said, “When I was young, I failed to attend the school’s prom for some reason!” Rose could see that Alondra had dreamed about attending a prom. After returning home, Rose encouraged Mike to ask his grandma to be his dance partner. She wanted to help Alondra to realize her dream. She knew Alondra was outgoing and loved to stay with young kids. Mike initially hesitated but finally decided to follow his mother’s suggestion. His good friend Lily supported his decision, too. The next day, Mike sent the invitation to his grandma. Seeing it, Alondra was surprised and excited. When that big night came, Alondra wore a beautiful dress. When they joyfully walked into the hall of the prom, unexpectedly, there was a loud gasp (倒吸气). Mike could feel all eyes on him. “Wait! Did he bring his old grandmother as his dance partner?” some kids behind them laughed. Mike looked around, finding that every boy had a young girl as their partner. Upset and embarrassed, he whispered, “I’m sorry, Gran. Don’t hate me for this.” Without a second thought, he left his grandmother behind and walked out of the hall, vowing not to return to the prom. Poor Alondra was left alone in the hall. She had never imagined she’d be alone in a hall full of young children. But it happened. Mike just walked out of the hall and sat on the basketball court stairs, thinking about how terrible it was to bring Alondra along. Suddenly, a familiar voice from behind distracted his racing thoughts. “Your grandmother needs you,” it said. “It was very rude of you to leave her alone!” Mike turned around to see Lily approaching him. 注意： 1．续写词数应为120左右; 2．在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Mike, do you know what it feels like for your grandmother to stand alone there?” Lily said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Mike, do you know what it feels like for your grandmother to stand alone there?” Lily said. Her eyes filled with disappointment, she told him that Alondra had spent days preparing for the prom, cherishing this long-awaited dream. Realizing his selfishness, Mike lowered his head and his face turned red with shame. He rushed back to the hall immediately and found Alondra. She stood there quietly, trying to hold back her tears. Mike took her hands sincerely and apologized repeatedly. Alondra smiled gently and forgave him. Then, they stepped onto the dance floor. Ignoring the stares, they danced happily, making Alondra’s prom dream finally come true. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Mike在妈妈鼓励下邀请未参加过舞会的奶奶Alondra共赴毕业舞会。舞会上，因同学嘲笑奶奶年老，Mike羞愧难当，将奶奶独自留在大厅后逃离。正当他懊悔时，好友Lily出现并指责他丢下奶奶的行为极其无礼。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由本段句首可知，本段可以描写Lily对Mike的责备与教育，Mike的心理转变与醒悟，以及他返回舞会现场向奶奶道歉并弥补过错的过程。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写George回到家把野草莓给了妈妈，他给草莓时的动作，妈妈看到、拿到时的表情、动作和语言，最后升华文章的主旨：爱使家充满欢乐。 2.续写线索：Lily劝说指责——Mike醒悟愧疚——Mike折返找人——Alondra强忍难过——Mike道歉并得到原谅——携手共舞圆梦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告诉：tell/inform ②准备：prepare for/get ready for/make preparations for 情绪类 ①失望：disappointment/frustration ②开心地：happily/joyfully/with delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her eyes filled with disappointment, she told him that Alondra had spent days preparing for the prom, cherishing this long-awaited dream.

But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest, stretching across nearly 2 million acres between Phoenix and Flagstaff. How to Get There Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive. About the Forest Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Today, its three districts protect 10 wilderness areas home to elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats. Hiking Information Trails: 482 trails extending hundreds of miles Pass Required: 1. Red Rock Pass: $5 per day (for individuals only) 2. All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families) Top Trails: Devil’s Bridge Trail: 3.9-mile out-and-back hike to a huge sandstone arch. Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point. Grand Canyon view available on clear days from Humphreys Peak. Stay Options The forest has 24 campsites and 4 cabins. Clints Well Campground charges $8 per night and stays open year-round.

Dressed in his own brand’s biker jacket, he told reporters, “None of you would be here if someone hadn’t pushed for you to be here.” His words made many uncomfortable. Yet just days earlier, his motorcycle had made history — winning two World Supersport races in Portugal, beating giants like Ducati and Honda. Zhang’s journey was never easy. Born into a poor farming family, at 16, it was by chance that he became passionate about motorcycles. “I’ve ridden every day since then,” he says. But being a self-taught rider with no connections meant no racing team would notice him. So at 19, he did something clever: he repeatedly called a popular TV show until a journalist agreed to meet him. His first performance was a disaster. Due to extreme nerves, his old motorcycle, or the lack of grip (抓牢) in the mountainous terrain, he fell off several times. The staff drove away. Refusing to give up, Zhang chased (追逐) their car for over 100 km in the rain for three hours. Moved by his persistence, they filmed him again. This time, he nailed difficult stunts. The broadcast, titled The Wind-Chasing Youth, got him noticed by professional teams. After years of racing and engineering work, Zhang moved to Chongqing, China’s “Motorcycle Capital”. With only 20, 000 yuan, he started by buying spare parts and sharing his work online. In 2017, he co-founded Kove Moto, which soon became a leader in large-displacement motorcycles. But fame and fortune meant little to him. “I don’t want to be a businessman sitting in meetings,” he says. “I want to be a hands-on engineer again.” So in 2024, he left to start his own brand, ZXMOTO. Today, ZXMOTO is growing fast. “Our advantages are low costs and high efficiency. In terms of high-end manufacturing, we are neck and neck with Europe and the US,” he says. Zhang’s ultimate dream is to put a Chinese motorcycle on the top step of MotoGP, the “Formula 1 of two wheels”. “WSBK is just the beginning,” he says. “I won’t stop until a Chinese bike stands on a MotoGP podium.” 4. What did the chase after the TV staff reflect about Zhang? A. His physical fitness. B. His determination to follow a dream. C. His persistence in business. D. His super skills in motorcycle riding. 5. Why did Zhang leave Kove Moto? A. The company was losing money. B. His investors asked him to leave. C. He wanted full control of production. D. He preferred engineering to management. 6. What can be inferred from Zhang’s view on Chinese manufacturing? A. It will never catch up with Europe. B. It lacks experience in high-end areas. C. It still depends too much on low costs. D. It has closed the gap with developed nations. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of a famous racing event in Portugal. B. Why Chinese motorcycles now lead the global market. C. How a self-taught mechanic defeated industrial giants. D. The business competition between Kove and ZXMOTO. C Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it — yet less than their exhausted parents would like. But, despite its universality, sleep remains a mysterious process. Indeed, although sleep seems to be crucial for physical and mental well-being, scientists are still trying to work out its biological logic. Research points to a theory, which suggests that the brain needs to “reset” periodically to keep the mind in good operating order — with exciting hints that sleep’s effect on the gut (肠道) might also come into play. Not only is getting enough sleep satisfying in its own right, but it also has a broader effect on health. Evidence indicates that people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than people who sleep longer. A theory first proposed more than ten years ago holds that sleep helps the brain to clear out tau protein, which contributes to this neurodegenerative (神经退行) condition. But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the correlation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition. Sleep can also help to address a less-severe and more-common health issue than dementia (痴呆): the desire to lose weight. A leading sleep specialist explains how longer sleep leads to people consuming fewer calories and losing kilograms. And weight loss lowers the risk of sleep apnoea, in which a person’s breathing during sleep is interrupted, and, in turn, lessens the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep scientists have no shortage of questions to explore. These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning. 8. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1? A. To highlight the widespread nature of sleep. B. To explain why babies sleep less than adults. C. To introduce the biological definition of sleep. D. To compare the sleep habits of different species. 9. Why is it hard to develop Alzheimer’s prevention strategies based on sleep research? A. Proteins harm sleep indirectly. B. Short sleep prevents Alzheimer’s. C. No debate is over their connection. D. The sleep-Alzheimer’s link is unclear. 10. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph? A. Mood disorders directly lead to heart disease. B. Early morning classes are effective for weight loss. C. Some common habits carry unexpected health risks. D. Night-time illumination is beneficial for mental health. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Babies Need More Sleep B. Where Napping Benefits Our Body C. What Scientists Learn about Sleep D. How to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease D Why do we cry happy tears? Tears are usually seen as a sign of sadness, but people often cry during joyful moments like weddings, births and reunions. These “happy tears” seem contradictory, yet they show how the human brain deals with intense emotion. Crying is a biological response to emotional overload, making no difference between positive and negative feelings. Strong emotions activate the brain’s feeling-related system. The amygdala (杏仁体) works as an emotional alarm bell to sense excitement and send signals to the body. It further activates the hypothalamus, which controls involuntary actions such as heartbeat and tear production. The anterior cingulate cortex (前扣带脑皮质) helps manage mixed emotions, explaining why great joy can cause reactions connected with sadness. Scientists regard happy crying as emotional homeostasis. It helps people return to calmness after extreme excitement. Crying relaxes the body by slowing heart rates and easing tension after adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises. It balances opposite feelings — relief from fear, gratitude after hardship, and pride from struggle. In fact, happy tears seldom come from pure joy. They arise from mixed feelings, known as a double-balance response. When people feel joyful, the brain will recall past memories of loss or struggle, making them emotional. Humans are the only animals that cry out of emotion. This ability developed as a silent way of communication. Happy tears show sincerity, build social bonds, bring empathy and shared emotional relief. Above all, they prove human emotions are complex, rich and meaningful. 12. What can we learn about crying from paragraph 2? A. The amygdala controls our heart rate and tears. B. Brain structures produce emotional tears jointly. C. Happy feelings cannot activate the brain system. D. Tears only appear when people feel sad and painful. 13. What does the underlined word “homeostasis” most probably mean? A. internal balance. B. sudden excitement. C. psychological control. D. physical weakness. 14. How does emotional crying function in humans? A. It helps strengthen social connections. B. It shows joy rather than mixed feelings. C. It frees people from negative memories. D. It results from empathy and shared relief. 15. What is the purpose of the whole passage? A.

During it, they talked about the school’s approaching prom (舞会). Alondra said, “When I was young, I failed to attend the school’s prom for some reason!” Rose could see that Alondra had dreamed about attending a prom. After returning home, Rose encouraged Mike to ask his grandma to be his dance partner. She wanted to help Alondra to realize her dream. She knew Alondra was outgoing and loved to stay with young kids. Mike initially hesitated but finally decided to follow his mother’s suggestion. His good friend Lily supported his decision, too. The next day, Mike sent the invitation to his grandma. Seeing it, Alondra was surprised and excited. When that big night came, Alondra wore a beautiful dress. When they joyfully walked into the hall of the prom, unexpectedly, there was a loud gasp (倒吸气). Mike could feel all eyes on him. “Wait! Did he bring his old grandmother as his dance partner?” some kids behind them laughed. Mike looked around, finding that every boy had a young girl as their partner. Upset and embarrassed, he whispered, “I’m sorry, Gran. Don’t hate me for this.” Without a second thought, he left his grandmother behind and walked out of the hall, vowing not to return to the prom. Poor Alondra was left alone in the hall. She had never imagined she’d be alone in a hall full of young children. But it happened. Mike just walked out of the hall and sat on the basketball court stairs, thinking about how terrible it was to bring Alondra along. Suddenly, a familiar voice from behind distracted his racing thoughts. “Your grandmother needs you,” it said. “It was very rude of you to leave her alone!” Mike turned around to see Lily approaching him. 注意： 1．续写词数应为120左右; 2．在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Mike, do you know what it feels like for your grandmother to stand alone there?” Lily said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
