Puzzles combine the thrill of an engaging challenge with the relaxation of a mindful exercise. That’s why PressReader has made not just news, but puzzles digital, providing a more convenient and sustainable option for puzzlers. From pen and paper to click and tap, puzzles have found a new home. But one thing’s for certain, they’re as satisfying as ever. Thousands of newspapers, magazines and books. Ten puzzle types. One engaging platform. The PressReader platform faithfully recreates the reading experience of thousands of newspapers and magazines from across the globe in digital form. Now it recreates the experience of tackling the daily newspaper puzzle section, too. How many puzzles does PressReader offer? PressReader provides users with 10 puzzle types that can be played directly on PressReader.com (both on desktop and mobile), including codewords, crosswords, pathfinder and more.

B Take a closer look at the colourful plants dotted along an initially unassuming Bristol alleyway (小巷) and you’ll see them teeming with insects. “It’s buzzing with pollinators now,” Flora Beverley says. Just over a year ago, the alleyway was a scary, litter-packed dumping ground. Now, thanks to the Pollinator Pathways Project, it is filled with nectar-rich plants and bee hotels. A neighbour and her son passing by stop to tell Beverley they watered the plants yesterday. The local people who helped to transform the pathways continue to maintain them too. A trail runner and fitness influencer, Beverley, started the project after an illness left her unable to spend as much time running in the countryside. She wanted to bring more nature into her local community and, at the same time, help to connect important nearby habitats in Bristol including parks and the Northern Slopes Nature Reserve with insect-friendly corridors. The project took off unexpectedly well and in the space of a year local groups have transformed seven alleyways around the south of the city. Volunteers pile in, and it is funded by small grants that Beverley — who does not get paid — applies for in her own time, street collections and donations from local businesses. “The things that are good for nature tend to be very good for people too,” she says. “We’re lucky to have so many green spaces in Bristol, but there is a lack of connection between them. Habitat fragmentation is a big issue.” Beverley is hoping to expand her Pollinator Pathways Project and make it as sustainable as possible. With hotter and drier summers expected, she has made sure to include a variety of drought-resistant plants in the alleyways. Weeds that might block accessibility are removed by hand to prevent the use of herbicide (除草剂). After her videos of the alleyway transformations shared on social media attracted hundreds of thousands of views, she also plans to set an example for people outside Bristol to follow. 4. Which of the following best describes the Bristol alleyway now? A. It is free of insects. B. It is filled with plants. C. It is closed to the public. D. It is packed with hotels. 5. Why did Beverley start the project? A. To find a cure for her disease. B. To get paid by the council. C. To provide volunteer positions. D. To stay connected to nature. 6. What does the underlined word “fragmentation” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Unity. B. Division. C. Growth. D. Protection. 7. What is Beverley’s goal for the future of her project? A. To make sure plants survive herbicide. B. To make it long-lasting and eco-friendly. C. To launch similar projects in other cities. D. To increase biodiversity in the alleyways. C My friend Amelia and I, both freelance journalists, share a common weakness: procrastination (拖延). Amelia’s are household jobs like investigating her broken dishwasher, while mine are all work-related, particularly a difficult email I’ve been avoiding since last November. On one sunny Thursday morning, we gathered at Amelia’s kitchen table to hold a “forcing party”. The concept was coined by Tyler Alterman, who posted jokingly on social media about wanting to hire someone to force him to complete tasks he was putting off. When one of his friends responded with an offer of help, they agreed to throw a “force-one-another-to-do-stuff party”. Alterman later reported the results: a completed passport application, a brand new website and a cleared inbox. Inspired, Amelia and I set aside one hour to complete all the tasks we’re procrastinating, and promised to hold each other to account. Initially, I started with some simpler editing work, still avoiding that email. Amelia finished a task first. “I messaged the bank,” she said proudly. “That’s huge.” But the quiet kitchen didn’t match our celebratory mood. So I opened a new browser, and played an online airhorn (汽笛) sound. The sound functioned as a powerful stimulant; we immediately straightened up, our focus sharpened, and we became newly aware of the potential achievements ahead. According to neuroscientist Ewa Lombard, such gatherings are effective for two main reasons. First, they combine unpleasant tasks with enjoyable social interaction — a concept known as “reward substitution”. Second, the positive pressure created by time limits helps people enter a productive state more quickly. This approach is similar to “body doubling”, where cooperation and a supportive environment reduce the perceived difficulty of tasks. By the end of the hour, Amelia had completed several long-delayed chores, and I finally sent that email — a task that took only five minutes and received a positive reply shortly after. 8. What can we learn about Alterman’s “forcing party”? A. It was a controversial proposal. B. It was a fruitless experiment. C. It was a casual friend agreement. D. It was a widely publicised event. 9. How did the online airhorn sound motivate the author and Amelia? A. It created a sense of urgency. B. It helped block outside noises. C. It provided positive reinforcement. D. It marked their shared progress. 10. What helps make tough tasks feel easier according to Ewa Lombard? A. Material reward. B. Time pressure. C. Personal efficiency. D. Motivating interaction. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Secret to Time Management B. A Journalist’s Guide to Productivity C. The Importance of Social Interaction in Work D. A Scientific Approach to Fighting Procrastination D The best way to appreciate the planet fully is to leave the planet entirely. Ever since Yuri Gagarin became the first human being in space, astronauts have come home to describe what they call the Overview Effect: the change that occurs when they see the world from above, as a place where borders are invisible, where racial, religious and economic setbacks are nowhere to be seen. In his book Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, retired astronaut Ron Garan reports a touch of the Overview Effect when he was on the nighttime side of the Earth. Gazing down on Shanghai after dark, he observes, “The whole scene looks somehow biological. The city is lit up all over — bright, unmistakable — stretching out in all directions to connect with other cities. The scene looks like a microscopic photograph of a nerve cell in the brain of the superorganism called humanity. What a dreamy experience!” But those profound feelings can swing the other way, when the Overview Effect reveals the wounds of the world. In my new novel, Holdout, the lead character, Walli Beckwith, is driven to an extreme act by the power of the Overview Effect. When an emergency forces the evacuation of the space station, she refuses to leave, staying aboard alone. Only later do we learn her reason. “I will come home,” she tells the world, “when we have put an end to the burning of the Amazon that is causing damage so great that it’s visible from space.” In a 2013 study, researchers administered to two different groups of people a survey designed to measure an individual’s level of spirituality. One group first looked at pictures intended to inspire awe (敬畏): a sunset, a galaxy, mountains, canyons; the other group was shown no such pictures. Repeatedly, those who had seen something of the magnificence of the universe first scored spiritually higher than those who had not. Spirituality doesn’t have to involve religion. It can simply point to something that goes beyond the ordinary — the feelings that the Overview Effect inspires. Travelling to space may deliver awe directly to our emotional core, but smaller versions of that feeling can be found without leaving the ground. 12. What is the Overview Effect according to Paragraph 1? A. A change in perception. B. A psychological disorder. C. A feeling of increased excitement. D. A method of exploring space. 13. What does Ron Garan try to illustrate by mentioning Shanghai? A. Light pollution is visible from space. B. Earth seen from space can inspire awe. C. Astronauts prefer viewing cities at night. D. Cities need to be more closely connected. 14. Why does Walli Beckwith refuse to leave space in Holdout? A. To protest the burning of Amazon. B. To call for environmental protection. C. To prove she can survive alone in space. D. To reveal the dangers of space emergencies. 15. What did the 2013 study find about people exposed to awe-inspiring pictures? A. They desired space travel. B. They became less religious. C. They were emotionally touched. D. They started to appreciate ordinary things. 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。 How I Became News-Resilient Today, we have a 24-hour news cycle that never seems to stop. It can feel overwhelming, with constant updates on everything from global crises to local events. At one point, I found myself consumed by the never-ending stream of information. ____16____ For a while, I tried to stop reading the news entirely. I thought it would help reduce my anxiety and give me a break from the chaos. But it didn’t work. ____17____ I’d sit quietly while my friends chatted about headlines I’d never heard of. That’s when I realised I needed a different approach — one that would let me stay informed without stressing me out. Instead of completely cutting myself off, I decided to take a self-care approach. ____18____ I set a timer for 30 minutes each morning, and turned off notifications (通知) for the rest of the day. I also avoided news right before bed to protect my sleep. ____19____ Rather than following countless news outlets and social media accounts, I now choose just a few that are reliable and thoughtful. This has made me more aware of what I consume and how it affects my mood. I’ve unfollowed accounts that spread fear or negativity, and shifted my attention towards content that inspires, informs, or simply leaves me feeling calm and hopeful. We can’t always control what’s happening around us. ____20____ Becoming news-resilient doesn’t mean ignoring the world or pretending everything’s fine. It means acknowledging the challenges we face, staying informed in a way that feels manageable. A. It started affecting my mental health. B. But we can control how we respond to it. C. My phone battery lasted much longer after that. D. I focused on controlling the time spent on news. E. Sometimes the headlines were surprisingly funny. F. Disconnection from current events made me feel left out. G. Over time, I’ve learnt to rely on a handful of trusted sources. 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。 All my life I’ve been bad at sports. At school I always ____21____ “fell ill” on the annual sports day and had a standing note from my mother to ____22____ me from PE classes due to my “bad foot”. Even after I started exercising regularly in my mid-20s, I never ____23____ in my friends’ social netball or football teams. “Hating sports” was a key part of my ____24____. Then, last year, a friend invited me to her birthday “kickabout” — a ____25____ game of football, I assumed. I turned up at the park, ____26____ to stay as far from the ball as possible. However, instead of counting down the time on the sidelines, I soon found myself ____27____ in the game, cheering for my team to score. None of the other players were sporty or experienced. Yet, we all agreed that we’d had fun and ____28____ the next game. A year on, our kickabout has not only ____29____, but expanded from a handful of friends to a group of about forty. By any measure, I remain the least skilled player, known for my ____30____ of using my hands. But I see my own ____31____, and to say I hate sports now would be dishonest. So what draws me back each Sunday? Surprisingly, the ____32____ lies neither in the socialising nor the workout, but the challenge itself — a (n) ____33____ free from any pressure, or even desire, to ever ____34____ the sport. “Amateurish”, the way I see it now, deserves a better ____35____. 21.

Last month, with a bike and some camping supplies, I set off, determined to follow the winding river valleys that cut through the mountain ranges. In my bag lay my most treasured companion — a small hand-drawn travel journal filled with sketches of mountains, villages, and the people I had met along the way. The journey was filled with surprises — snow-capped mountains, palm trees, and the delightful chirping of birds. However, my excitement faded when I reached a section of the valley where the road ahead had been completely flooded by the rising river after a night of heavy rain. I had a strict principle I never broke — I never walked the same path backwards. To me, this journey was not just about reaching the destination, but also about embracing the unknown and challenging myself. Taking a deep breath, I made up my mind to wade (蹚水) through the river, pushing my bike along with me. The moment my feet touched the water, a sharp, numbing cold shot up my legs, as if thousands of needles were sticking into my skin. After all, the water came straight from the snowmelt. I gritted my teeth, gripping the bike tightly, and took one slow step after another. Every step felt like a struggle against an invisible force. The water threatened to sweep me off balance at any moment. My feet grew numb, my arms ached, and after nearly an hour of slow struggle, I realised I had moved only about one and a half kilometres. I was exhausted, both physically and mentally, finally collapsing to my knees in the shallow water, the bike crashing down beside me. On the riverbank, I noticed two local children gathering firewood. Their laughter echoed in the valley until the sound of me slipping and splashing caught their attention. 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。 The two children walked towards me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I ought to express my gratitude, but I had nothing really valuable. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试预测卷：黑龙江·吉林·辽宁·内蒙古专版 英语 (考试时间：120分钟;试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

Just over a year ago, the alleyway was a scary, litter-packed dumping ground. Now, thanks to the Pollinator Pathways Project, it is filled with nectar-rich plants and bee hotels. A neighbour and her son passing by stop to tell Beverley they watered the plants yesterday. The local people who helped to transform the pathways continue to maintain them too. A trail runner and fitness influencer, Beverley, started the project after an illness left her unable to spend as much time running in the countryside. She wanted to bring more nature into her local community and, at the same time, help to connect important nearby habitats in Bristol including parks and the Northern Slopes Nature Reserve with insect-friendly corridors. The project took off unexpectedly well and in the space of a year local groups have transformed seven alleyways around the south of the city. Volunteers pile in, and it is funded by small grants that Beverley — who does not get paid — applies for in her own time, street collections and donations from local businesses. “The things that are good for nature tend to be very good for people too,” she says. “We’re lucky to have so many green spaces in Bristol, but there is a lack of connection between them. Habitat fragmentation is a big issue.” Beverley is hoping to expand her Pollinator Pathways Project and make it as sustainable as possible. With hotter and drier summers expected, she has made sure to include a variety of drought-resistant plants in the alleyways. Weeds that might block accessibility are removed by hand to prevent the use of herbicide (除草剂). After her videos of the alleyway transformations shared on social media attracted hundreds of thousands of views, she also plans to set an example for people outside Bristol to follow. 4. Which of the following best describes the Bristol alleyway now? A. It is free of insects. B. It is filled with plants. C. It is closed to the public. D. It is packed with hotels. 5. Why did Beverley start the project? A. To find a cure for her disease. B. To get paid by the council. C. To provide volunteer positions. D. To stay connected to nature. 6. What does the underlined word “fragmentation” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Unity. B. Division. C. Growth. D. Protection. 7. What is Beverley’s goal for the future of her project? A. To make sure plants survive herbicide. B. To make it long-lasting and eco-friendly. C. To launch similar projects in other cities. D. To increase biodiversity in the alleyways. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了贝弗利因病发起传粉者通道项目，将脏乱小巷改造成绿植步道，串联城市栖息地。项目发展良好，她计划持续优化，并向其他城市推广该模式。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Now, thanks to the Pollinator Pathways Project, it is filled with nectar-rich plants and bee hotels.(如今，得益于“传粉者通道项目”，这里种满了富含花蜜的植物和蜂巢)”可知，如今的布里斯托尔小巷里面种满了植物。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A trail runner and fitness influencer, Beverley, started the project after an illness left her unable to spend as much time running in the countryside. She wanted to bring more nature into her local community and, at the same time, help to connect important nearby habitats in Bristol including parks and the Northern Slopes Nature Reserve with insect-friendly corridors.(贝弗利是一名越野跑运动员和健身领域的知名人士。在一场疾病发作后，她无法像以前那样在乡间长时间跑步了。于是，她决定开展这个项目，旨在将更多自然元素引入当地社区，并同时帮助将布里斯托尔周边重要的生态区域（包括公园和北部斜坡自然保护区）与适合昆虫生存的通道连接起来)”可知，贝弗利启动这个项目是为了与大自然保持联系。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“We’re lucky to have so many green spaces in Bristol, but there is a lack of connection between them.(我们很幸运在布里斯托尔有这么多的绿地，但这些绿地之间缺乏相互之间的联系)”可知，绿地彼此互不连通，即栖息地被分开。故划线词意思是“分开”。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Beverley is hoping to expand her Pollinator Pathways Project and make it as sustainable as possible. With hotter and drier summers expected, she has made sure to include a variety of drought-resistant plants in the alleyways. Weeds that might block accessibility are removed by hand to prevent the use of herbicide (除草剂). After her videos of the alleyway transformations shared on social media attracted hundreds of thousands of views, she also plans to set an example for people outside Bristol to follow.(贝弗利希望进一步拓展她的“传粉者通道”项目，并使其尽可能具有可持续性。鉴于预计夏季会更加炎热干燥，她已确保在小巷中种植了多种耐旱植物。那些可能会阻碍通行的杂草会通过人工方式清除掉，以避免使用除草剂。在她将有关这条小巷改造过程的视频发布到社交媒体上后，这些视频的浏览量达到了数十万次。此后，她还打算为布里斯托尔以外的民众树立榜样，让大家也能效仿)”可知，贝弗利打算让她这个项目具有长久性和环保性。 C My friend Amelia and I, both freelance journalists, share a common weakness: procrastination (拖延). Amelia’s are household jobs like investigating her broken dishwasher, while mine are all work-related, particularly a difficult email I’ve been avoiding since last November. On one sunny Thursday morning, we gathered at Amelia’s kitchen table to hold a “forcing party”. The concept was coined by Tyler Alterman, who posted jokingly on social media about wanting to hire someone to force him to complete tasks he was putting off. When one of his friends responded with an offer of help, they agreed to throw a “force-one-another-to-do-stuff party”. Alterman later reported the results: a completed passport application, a brand new website and a cleared inbox. Inspired, Amelia and I set aside one hour to complete all the tasks we’re procrastinating, and promised to hold each other to account. Initially, I started with some simpler editing work, still avoiding that email. Amelia finished a task first. “I messaged the bank,” she said proudly. “That’s huge.” But the quiet kitchen didn’t match our celebratory mood. So I opened a new browser, and played an online airhorn (汽笛) sound. The sound functioned as a powerful stimulant; we immediately straightened up, our focus sharpened, and we became newly aware of the potential achievements ahead. According to neuroscientist Ewa Lombard, such gatherings are effective for two main reasons. First, they combine unpleasant tasks with enjoyable social interaction — a concept known as “reward substitution”. Second, the positive pressure created by time limits helps people enter a productive state more quickly. This approach is similar to “body doubling”, where cooperation and a supportive environment reduce the perceived difficulty of tasks. By the end of the hour, Amelia had completed several long-delayed chores, and I finally sent that email — a task that took only five minutes and received a positive reply shortly after. 8. What can we learn about Alterman’s “forcing party”? A. It was a controversial proposal. B. It was a fruitless experiment. C. It was a casual friend agreement. D. It was a widely publicised event. 9. How did the online airhorn sound motivate the author and Amelia? A. It created a sense of urgency. B. It helped block outside noises. C. It provided positive reinforcement. D. It marked their shared progress. 10. What helps make tough tasks feel easier according to Ewa Lombard? A. Material reward. B. Time pressure. C. Personal efficiency. D. Motivating interaction. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Secret to Time Management B. A Journalist’s Guide to Productivity C. The Importance of Social Interaction in Work D. A Scientific Approach to Fighting Procrastination 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】作者和好友因拖延举办“督促派对”，该形式源于网友玩笑约定。汽笛提升专注力，结合社交互动与时间压力的科学原理，二人最终完成拖延已久的任务。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The concept was coined by Tyler Alterman, who posted jokingly on social media about wanting to hire someone to force him to complete tasks he was putting off. When one of his friends responded with an offer of help, they agreed to throw a “force-one-another-to-do-stuff party”.(这个概念是由泰勒·阿尔特曼提出的。他曾在社交媒体上开玩笑地表示，想雇个人来强迫自己完成那些一直拖延未做的任务。当他的一个朋友回应并表示愿意帮忙时，他们便决定举办一场“督促派对”的聚会)”可知，阿尔特曼的“督促派对”是一次随意的友情约定。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The sound functioned as a powerful stimulant; we immediately straightened up, our focus sharpened, and we became newly aware of the potential achievements ahead.(这种声音起到了强烈的刺激作用；我们立刻精神一振，注意力变得更加集中，同时也更加清晰地意识到了前方可能取得的成就)”可知，那场网络上的汽笛声营造出了紧迫感。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This approach is similar to “body doubling”, where cooperation and a supportive environment reduce the perceived difficulty of tasks.(这种方法与“身体替身”技术类似，在这种技术中，团队间的协作以及良好的支持环境能够降低人们对于任务难度的感知)”可知，促进互动能让艰巨的任务变得更容易完成。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“The concept was coined by Tyler Alterman, who posted jokingly on social media about wanting to hire someone to force him to complete tasks he was putting off. When one of his friends responded with an offer of help, they agreed to throw a “force-one-another-to-do-stuff party”.(这个概念是由泰勒·阿尔特曼提出的。他曾在社交媒体上开玩笑地表示，想雇个人来强迫自己完成那些一直拖延未做的任务。当他的一个朋友回应并表示愿意帮忙时，他们便决定举办一场“督促派对”的聚会)”可知，文章说明了作者和好友因拖延举办“督促派对”，并通过这种方式完成人物可知，D选项“一种对抗拖延症的科学方法”最符合文章标题。 D The best way to appreciate the planet fully is to leave the planet entirely. Ever since Yuri Gagarin became the first human being in space, astronauts have come home to describe what they call the Overview Effect: the change that occurs when they see the world from above, as a place where borders are invisible, where racial, religious and economic setbacks are nowhere to be seen. In his book Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, retired astronaut Ron Garan reports a touch of the Overview Effect when he was on the nighttime side of the Earth. Gazing down on Shanghai after dark, he observes, “The whole scene looks somehow biological. The city is lit up all over — bright, unmistakable — stretching out in all directions to connect with other cities. The scene looks like a microscopic photograph of a nerve cell in the brain of the superorganism called humanity. What a dreamy experience!” But those profound feelings can swing the other way, when the Overview Effect reveals the wounds of the world. In my new novel, Holdout, the lead character, Walli Beckwith, is driven to an extreme act by the power of the Overview Effect. When an emergency forces the evacuation of the space station, she refuses to leave, staying aboard alone. Only later do we learn her reason. “I will come home,” she tells the world, “when we have put an end to the burning of the Amazon that is causing damage so great that it’s visible from space.” In a 2013 study, researchers administered to two different groups of people a survey designed to measure an individual’s level of spirituality. One group first looked at pictures intended to inspire awe (敬畏): a sunset, a galaxy, mountains, canyons; the other group was shown no such pictures. Repeatedly, those who had seen something of the magnificence of the universe first scored spiritually higher than those who had not. Spirituality doesn’t have to involve religion. It can simply point to something that goes beyond the ordinary — the feelings that the Overview Effect inspires. Travelling to space may deliver awe directly to our emotional core, but smaller versions of that feeling can be found without leaving the ground. 12. What is the Overview Effect according to Paragraph 1? A. A change in perception. B. A psychological disorder. C. A feeling of increased excitement. D. A method of exploring space. 13. What does Ron Garan try to illustrate by mentioning Shanghai? A. Light pollution is visible from space. B. Earth seen from space can inspire awe. C. Astronauts prefer viewing cities at night. D. Cities need to be more closely connected. 14. Why does Walli Beckwith refuse to leave space in Holdout? A. To protest the burning of Amazon. B. To call for environmental protection. C. To prove she can survive alone in space. D. To reveal the dangers of space emergencies. 15. What did the 2013 study find about people exposed to awe-inspiring pictures? A. They desired space travel. B. They became less religious. C. They were emotionally touched. D. They started to appreciate ordinary things. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍太空视角带来的总观效应，它会改变人的认知、引发敬畏。相关小说角色借此抗议雨林破坏，研究也证实壮阔景象能触动人心，此类感受在地面也可体会。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ever since Yuri Gagarin became the first human being in space, astronauts have come home to describe what they call the Overview Effect: the change that occurs when they see the world from above, as a place where borders are invisible, where racial, religious and economic setbacks are nowhere to be seen.(自从尤里·加加林成为首位进入太空的人类之后，宇航员们回到地球后都会描述他们所说的“总观效应”：当他们从高空俯瞰这个世界时，会发现一种变化发生：这个世界仿佛是一个没有国界、种族、宗教和经济挫折可寻的地方)”可知，“总观效应”指的是感知的改变。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The scene looks like a microscopic photograph of a nerve cell in the brain of the superorganism called humanity. What a dreamy experience!” But those profound feelings can swing the other way, when the Overview Effect reveals the wounds of the world.(这一景象仿佛是人类这个超级生物体大脑中神经细胞的微观写照。这真是一次美妙的体验啊！”但当“总观效应”揭示出世界的伤痛时，那些深沉的情感也会发生转变)”可知，罗恩·加兰提及上海意在说明从太空俯瞰地球，会让人感到无比敬畏。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““I will come home,” she tells the world, “when we have put an end to the burning of the Amazon that is causing damage so great that it’s visible from space.”(“等我们彻底停止亚马逊地区的森林燃烧行为之后，我就会回家了。”她向全世界宣告道，“这种燃烧造成的破坏极其严重，甚至从太空中都能看得见。”)”可知，小说Holdout中沃利·贝克威斯拒绝离开是为了抗议亚马逊森林的被烧毁。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In a 2013 study, researchers administered to two different groups of people a survey designed to measure an individual’s level of spirituality. One group first looked at pictures intended to inspire awe (敬畏): a sunset, a galaxy, mountains, canyons; the other group was shown no such pictures. Repeatedly, those who had seen something of the magnificence of the universe first scored spiritually higher than those who had not.(在2013年的一项研究中，研究人员向两组不同的人群发放了一份旨在衡量个人精神层面的调查问卷。其中一组首先观看了旨在激发敬畏之情的图片（如日落、星系、山脉、峡谷）；而另一组则未观看此类图片。反复进行测试后发现，看过宇宙壮丽景象的那一组人的精神层面得分普遍高于未看过的人)”可知，研究发现那些接触过令人惊叹的图片的人们深受感动。 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。 How I Became News-Resilient Today, we have a 24-hour news cycle that never seems to stop. It can feel overwhelming, with constant updates on everything from global crises to local events. At one point, I found myself consumed by the never-ending stream of information. ____16____ For a while, I tried to stop reading the news entirely. I thought it would help reduce my anxiety and give me a break from the chaos. But it didn’t work. ____17____ I’d sit quietly while my friends chatted about headlines I’d never heard of. That’s when I realised I needed a different approach — one that would let me stay informed without stressing me out. Instead of completely cutting myself off, I decided to take a self-care approach. ____18____ I set a timer for 30 minutes each morning, and turned off notifications (通知) for the rest of the day. I also avoided news right before bed to protect my sleep. ____19____ Rather than following countless news outlets and social media accounts, I now choose just a few that are reliable and thoughtful. This has made me more aware of what I consume and how it affects my mood. I’ve unfollowed accounts that spread fear or negativity, and shifted my attention towards content that inspires, informs, or simply leaves me feeling calm and hopeful. We can’t always control what’s happening around us. ____20____ Becoming news-resilient doesn’t mean ignoring the world or pretending everything’s fine. It means acknowledging the challenges we face, staying informed in a way that feels manageable. A. It started affecting my mental health. B. But we can control how we respond to it. C. My phone battery lasted much longer after that. D. I focused on controlling the time spent on news. E. Sometimes the headlines were surprisingly funny. F. Disconnection from current events made me feel left out. G. Over time, I’ve learnt to rely on a handful of trusted sources. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】作者曾被海量新闻困扰、身心受影响。尝试彻底断更新闻却感到脱节，于是把控浏览时长、精选可靠信源，学会理性看待新闻，做到从容应对。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Today, we have a 24-hour news cycle that never seems to stop. It can feel overwhelming, with constant updates on everything from global crises to local events. At one point, I found myself consumed by the never-ending stream of information.(如今，我们有了一个24小时不间断的新闻播报循环。这可能会让人感到压力巨大，因为几乎每天都会有关于全球危机乃至当地事件的各种最新消息不断传来。曾有一刻，我发现自己完全被这源源不断的海量信息所吞噬)”可知，上文提到作者被无休止的新闻信息消耗，压力过载。A选项“它开始影响我的心理健康”顺承前文，引出作者想要改变的背景，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据上文“For a while, I tried to stop reading the news entirely. I thought it would help reduce my anxiety and give me a break from the chaos. But it didn’t work.(有一段时间，我试图完全停止阅读新闻。我以为这样能减轻我的焦虑情绪，让我从混乱的环境中得到片刻的解脱。但结果并不如预期那样)”以及后文“I’d sit quietly while my friends chatted about headlines I’d never heard of. That’s when I realised I needed a different approach — one that would let me stay informed without stressing me out.(我会静静地坐着，而我的朋友们则在热烈地谈论着一些我从未听说过的新闻头条。就在那时，我意识到自己需要一种不同的方式——一种既能让我了解时事又能让我免受压力困扰的方式)”可知，上文说作者尝试完全停看新闻，这个方法没用；后文提到朋友讨论头条新闻时，作者完全没听过，插不上话。F选项“脱离时事让我感觉自己被落下了”正好衔接后文内容，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Instead of completely cutting myself off, I decided to take a self-care approach.(我没有选择完全与外界隔绝，而是决定采取一种自我关爱的方式)”以及后文“I set a timer for 30 minutes each morning, and turned off notifications (通知) for the rest of the day. I also avoided news right before bed to protect my sleep.(每天早上我都会设定 30 分钟的计时器，并在这一天的其余时间里关闭通知功能。睡觉前我也不会看新闻，以保证良好的睡眠质量)”可知，前文说作者不选择完全切断新闻，改用自我关怀的方法，后文具体介绍：每天只设30分钟看新闻，其余时间关通知，睡前不看新闻。D选项“我专注于控制花在新闻上的时间”是对后文具体做法的总起，衔接自然。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Rather than following countless news outlets and social media accounts, I now choose just a few that are reliable and thoughtful. This has made me more aware of what I consume and how it affects my mood. I’ve unfollowed accounts that spread fear or negativity, and shifted my attention towards content that inspires, informs, or simply leaves me feeling calm and hopeful.(我不再关注无数的新闻媒体和社交媒体账号，而是只选择几个可靠且有深度的账号作为关注对象。这让我更加清楚自己所获取的信息内容，也更明白这些信息对我情绪的影响。我已经取消了那些传播恐惧或消极情绪的账号的关注，并将注意力转向那些能激励人心、提供信息或者仅仅能让我感到平静和充满希望的内容)”可知，后文提到作者不再关注无数新闻媒体和社交账号，只保留少数可靠来源，取消了传播负面情绪的账号关注。G选项“久而久之，我学会了只依赖少数可信的消息来源”正好概括后文内容，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 根据上文“We can’t always control what’s happening around us.(我们无法总是掌控周围发生的事情)”可知，上文说我们不能控制周遭发生的事情，B选项“但我们可以控制自己应对它的方式”和上文构成转折对应，同时引出下文对“新闻弹性”的解释，衔接正确。 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。 All my life I’ve been bad at sports.

Even after I started exercising regularly in my mid-20s, I never ____23____ in my friends’ social netball or football teams. “Hating sports” was a key part of my ____24____. Then, last year, a friend invited me to her birthday “kickabout” — a ____25____ game of football, I assumed. I turned up at the park, ____26____ to stay as far from the ball as possible. However, instead of counting down the time on the sidelines, I soon found myself ____27____ in the game, cheering for my team to score. None of the other players were sporty or experienced. Yet, we all agreed that we’d had fun and ____28____ the next game. A year on, our kickabout has not only ____29____, but expanded from a handful of friends to a group of about forty. By any measure, I remain the least skilled player, known for my ____30____ of using my hands. But I see my own ____31____, and to say I hate sports now would be dishonest. So what draws me back each Sunday? Surprisingly, the ____32____ lies neither in the socialising nor the workout, but the challenge itself — a (n) ____33____ free from any pressure, or even desire, to ever ____34____ the sport. “Amateurish”, the way I see it now, deserves a better ____35____. 21.

Last month, with a bike and some camping supplies, I set off, determined to follow the winding river valleys that cut through the mountain ranges. In my bag lay my most treasured companion — a small hand-drawn travel journal filled with sketches of mountains, villages, and the people I had met along the way. The journey was filled with surprises — snow-capped mountains, palm trees, and the delightful chirping of birds. However, my excitement faded when I reached a section of the valley where the road ahead had been completely flooded by the rising river after a night of heavy rain. I had a strict principle I never broke — I never walked the same path backwards. To me, this journey was not just about reaching the destination, but also about embracing the unknown and challenging myself. Taking a deep breath, I made up my mind to wade (蹚水) through the river, pushing my bike along with me. The moment my feet touched the water, a sharp, numbing cold shot up my legs, as if thousands of needles were sticking into my skin. After all, the water came straight from the snowmelt. I gritted my teeth, gripping the bike tightly, and took one slow step after another. Every step felt like a struggle against an invisible force. The water threatened to sweep me off balance at any moment. My feet grew numb, my arms ached, and after nearly an hour of slow struggle, I realised I had moved only about one and a half kilometres. I was exhausted, both physically and mentally, finally collapsing to my knees in the shallow water, the bike crashing down beside me. On the riverbank, I noticed two local children gathering firewood. Their laughter echoed in the valley until the sound of me slipping and splashing caught their attention. 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。 The two children walked towards me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I ought to express my gratitude, but I had nothing really valuable. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The two children walked towards me. Noticing my exhausted look and water-soaked clothes, they hurried over with kind concern. They helped me drag my heavy bike onto the riverbank and led me to a dry spot to rest. One child fetched a thick blanket to keep me warm against the cold wind, while the other brought some sweet wild fruits. Though we could barely understand each other’s words, their bright smiles and gentle gestures filled my heart with warmth, easing all my tiredness and frustration. I ought to express my gratitude, but I had nothing really valuable. Then I took out my cherished travel journal. I carefully sketched the two lovely children and the stunning mountain valley right away, then tore off the page and presented it to them. The kids were absolutely delighted and held the drawing tightly. This heartfelt encounter became a wonderful highlight of my trip. Even though the journey was full of challenges, their sincere kindness made all the hardships feel worthwhile. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者多年梦想骑行穿越非洲阿特拉斯山脉，上月如愿出发。途中前路因暴雨被河水淹没，作者不愿原路折返，执意蹚水前行，过程艰难又疲惫。当地两个孩子热心相助，给作者取暖食物。作者以手绘游记画作相赠，这场温暖相遇，让旅途的艰辛都变得值得。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写当地两个孩子热心相助，给作者取暖食物。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者以手绘游记画作相赠，这场温暖相遇，让旅途的艰辛都变得值得。 2.续写线索：孩子提供帮助——给作者送食物——作者赠送绘画——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/take notice of ②急忙：hurry/rush ③充满：be full of/be filled with 情绪类 ①疲惫的：exhausted/tired ②沮丧：frustration/upset 【点睛】[高分句型1] Noticing my exhausted look and water-soaked clothes, they hurried over with kind concern.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Though we could barely understand each other’s words, their bright smiles and gentle gestures filled my heart with warmth, easing all my tiredness and frustration.（运用了though引导让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
