What do the following places have in common: the Serengeti Desert, Edinburgh’s Old Town and the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve?
The Serengeti Desert is in Tanzania and Kenya, Africa. It contains thousands of kilometers of dry grasslands and many rare kinds of animals.
Edinburgh’s Old Town is in the capital city of Scotland. It has many old buildings and streets. There are very few new buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is near Mexico City in Mexico. It has beautiful flowers and forests. It is also the home of millions of butterflies in the winter.
These three places are very different. But they are all under special protection by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织). They are World Heritage Sites.
The story of World Heritage Sites begins more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the great king of Egypt built many temples. But after thousands of years, sand covered them.
Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples. One day, Abu Simbel saw something under the sand. Soon, the ancient temples of Ramses Ⅱwere officially rediscovered. But they were not safe. The government of Egypt planned to build a dam on the Nile River. It would create a large lake, which would cover the temples in water.
Many people did not want the temples destroyed. UNESCO agreed and raised 40 million dollars from around the world to save the temples. From 1964 to 1968, engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the Nile River. Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.
The effort to save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success. So in 1972, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Committee, which protects places on the earth that are of great cultural or natural value.
Any country in the world can ask for protection from UNESCO. The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.
31.What’s special about Edinburgh’s Old Town?
A.It has no new buildings. B.It’s a World Heritage Site.
C.It’s in the capital city of Scotland. D.It has the oldest streets in the world.
32.The young boy Abu Simbel .
A.grew up to be a great engineer B.took part in building the temples
C.lived in Egypt about 3,000 years ago D.was the first to discover the hidden temples
33.The last paragraph mainly deals with .
A.how a World Heritage Site is chosen
B.why the World Heritage Committee was formed
C.how often the World Heritage Committee works
D.why countries ask for protection from UNESCO

When Hunter Carson got to the small town of Liberty Hill, everything felt like a blank page. Back in his old town, he had been the shy kid, the one people called “weird” (古怪的) because he sketched (素描) during lunch and dressed improperly. Here, he told himself, things would be different.
The night before his first day at Liberty Hill High, Hunter chose a simple, “normal” outfit. He hid his favourite sketchbook under the bed and practiced a confident smile. “New town, new you,” he whispered to himself.
Day one went better than expected. Here, a boy called Tyler even asked if he wanted to partner up. Over the next few weeks, Hunter kept his version-two self polished: confident, a bit distant, and definitely less weird. He laughed at the right times, joined the ping pong club but didn’t talk too much about sketches.
One Saturday morning, Hunter was lost in drawing without the pressure of being “someone else” when Tyler texted him to play ping pong. Despite his hesitation, he agreed. During the game, Tyler suddenly commented that Hunter sometimes left the impression of not really being there. “You don’t have to try so hard. You’re good as you are,” Tyler added. Hunter didn’t respond right away, but after that day Tyler’s words echoed in his mind.
At lunch one day, Emily, a girl from his art class, sat with him and asked, “Are you the guy who makes the sketches in the art room? They are amazing.” Hunter’s heart skipped. He’d left his sketchbook at school before, and someone had picked it up, flipping through the pages of drawings. He nodded, suddenly feeling self-conscious. “Yes, I guess that’s me.” “You should really show more people,” Emily said genuinely.
That night, Hunter sat on his bed, his sketchbook open in his lap. Maybe he didn’t need to erase parts of himself to start over. Hunter closed the sketchbook — maybe tomorrow he’d bring it to school and let someone see.
37.Why did Hunter hide his sketchbook initially?
A.He feared being made fun of.
B.He wanted to start a new life.
C.He planned to amaze his friends.
D.He thought it far from satisfying.
38.What can be inferred from Tyler’s comment in Paragraph 4?
A.Hunter was hiding true personality.
B.Tyler praised Hunter’s performance.
C.Hunter had little talent in ping pong.
D.Tyler disliked Hunter’s distant attitude.
39.What did Emily encourage Hunter to do?
A.Improve his social skills.
B.Behave more confidently.
C.Exhibit his talent in sketching.
D.Make some like-minded friends.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.True confidence comes from embracing yourself.
B.Physical activities smooth over negative feelings.
C.Sharing hobbies is the key to making real friends.
D.A trustworthy friend is someone who respects you.

You may remember those stories from a few years back about how there were more men called John running big companies than there were women. In our company, we had our own version: there were more Sarahs than there were men.
So why do some names become so popular at certain moments in time? According to a historical database of English birth records, more than 8 percent of baby boys were named John in the mid-19th century, similar to the proportion (占比) of baby girls named Mary. It was a less dominant, but still very common baby name by the 1940s and 1950s, which explains all those ageing leaders called John in the 2010s.
But since then, John’s popularity has plummeted. The top three boys’ names in England and Wales are now Muhammad, Noah and Oliver. But not all popular 19th-century names have gone the way of John. Some have staged a comeback — Sarah is a perfect example.
Sarah was a common name in mid-19th-century England, but its fall came sharper and faster than John, and by the first half of the 20th century it was a fairly unusual name to give a baby. Yet, in the 1970s and 1980s, it staged a remarkable comeback, shooting up the rankings to become one of the most popular girls’ names. That explains why there are so many Sarahs in our company, 40 years later. Experts say that for a “second act”, these old names need to have been unpopular for a couple of generations, so that they attract parents of new babies who are looking for tradition but don’t want names they associate with their parents ‘or grandparents’ era. Sarah, therefore, may well experience a 100-year hiatus (停滞) as a result of its own “second wind” success.
Even if names like Sarah stage another comeback one day, they’re unlikely to ever achieve the levels of popularity they once commanded. The data shows that the drive towards individualism has increased in recent decades and the timely publication of baby name data is beginning to shape the trends too. It might enable parents to realise more quickly when a name has become very popular and to choose one further down the list instead.
41.What made so many men called John run big companies a few years ago?
A.Growing ageing populations. B.High proportion of the name.
C.Discrimination against women. D.Johns’ superb managerial skills.
42.What does the underlined word “plummeted” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Peaked. B.Dropped. C.Returned. D.Stabilized.
43.What can we learn about the name Sarah?
A.It regained popularity. B.It reflects individualism.
C.It mirrored generation gap. D.It holds lasting attraction.
44.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Origin of Personal Names. B.How to Choose a Special Name.
C.The Rise and Fall of Popular Names. D.How Culture Shapes Common Names.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know stress from work can follow us home, but what if it’s not just your partner or kids feeling its effect? A study by Mitropoulos and Andrukonis, published last week in Scientific Reports, uncovers a surprising yet deeply relatable finding: your job stress can “cross over” to your dog, particularly when you can’t stop thinking about work after hours. 45 That is to say, even your furry companion might be quietly suffering alongside you.
The invisible link: when your stress becomes your dog’s
Dogs are incredibly sensitive. 46 Therefore, it can be said that dogs are masters of emotional detection. Scientists have long known that dogs experience emotional contagion (感染); in other words, they “catch” our feelings. Now, this study is one of the first to show that job-related stress, when paired with constant overthinking, can result in real behavioral stress responses in dogs.
The most convincing finding?
In the study, dogs whose owners reported high job stress and frequently focused on work showed more behavioral signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or reduced playfulness. 47 It suggests our dogs may be more stressed than we realize.
What can dog owners do?
Manage your emotional clues. Dogs can sense human feelings easily. So try to be conscious of how you speak and move around them, especially during stressful times. 48 .
Mindfulness practices — like meditation, deep breathing, or simply being present — help reduce work-related overthinking and allow for genuine relaxation with your dog.
49 If your job stress feels unmanageable, consider reaching out for help, whether from your employer, a therapist, or a stress management program. Caring for yourself is one of the best ways to care for your pet.
A.Get support if you need it.
B.The effects of stress on humans go further than we think.
C.Turn off work notifications and fully engage with your dog.
D.Gentle tones and relaxed body language can help calm your dog.
E.However, owners in life often fail to recognize these stress behaviors.
F.They can read our facial expressions and sense changes in tone and posture.
G.It turns out our dogs share not only our homes, but also our emotional burdens.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第50、51题各2分、第52题3分,第53题5分,共12分)
Survey data show that American customers today are more than twice as likely to complain about a product or service as they were in 1976. People are grumbling more at work too. Nearly a third of employers in one UK-based survey witnessed an increase in employee complaints over a two-year period.
Of course, you can always find something to complain about. But if you do so habitually, that is probably hurting you, making others feel down, and making you a less attractive person to be around. So you might want to resist the trend toward a culture of complaint.
There are two types of complaining: “instrumental” and “chronic”. “Instrumental” complaining is done to solve a clear problem. “Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain sympathy.
The problem with complaining is that even though it can feel therapeutic, it typically doesn’t lead to positive changes in the long run. Studies show that the more people complain, the more negative they feel. Even worse, in some cases, the people around you will also become negative.
Let’s assume, however, that you live in a society that does not rely on spreading misery. Much more likely is that it is time to stop complaining. If you can deal with dissatisfaction positively, the people you care about will be happier too.
50.What is the purpose of “instrumental” complaining?
51.What are the negative effects of complaining?
52.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain it.
“Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain encouragement.
53.Instead of complaining, how would you deal with dissatisfaction in life? (In about 40 words)

4.在穿过一片湖时,我们中的一个人差点淹死。(drown)
5.我们在森林里迷路了, 别无选择,我们只能等待救援。(rescue)

19.考查动词短语。句意:她擅长营造一种能让客人感到宾至如归的氛围。根据句意可知,此处为动词短语feel at home 意为“感觉自在;像在家一样”,情态动词can后接动词原形。
20.考查固定短语。句意:这些老同学自从毕业以来就一直保持着联系。根据句意可知,此处为固定短语be in contact with 意为“与…… 保持联系”,符合语境,此处用现在完成进行时have been in contact with表示动作从过去持续到现在。
第三节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面句子,根据句子内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
21.I noticed that the (heavy) objects went down more quickly than the smaller, lighter ones. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】heavier
【详解】句意:我注意到较重的物体比那些更小、更轻的物体下沉得更快。根据句中“than the smaller, lighter ones”可知,此处是将物体的重量进行对比,且修饰名词objects需用形容词,故应用heavy的比较级heavier,表示“更重的”。
22.Though time is limited, I think I’ll get the work (finish) on time.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】finished
【详解】句意:虽然时间有限,但我认为我能按时完成这项工作。分析句子可知,此处为固定搭配 get sth. done 表示“使某事被完成”,work与 finish为被动关系,故填过去分词finished。
23.With his mind (fix) on the things not related to his studies, his marks have fallen rapidly. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】fixed
【详解】句意:由于他心思总集中在与学习无关的事情上,他的成绩下滑得很快。空处在with复合结构中作宾补,fix和宾语mind是被动关系,应用过去分词fixed。
24.Tearfully, I confessed my misguided longing for (recognize). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】recognition
【详解】句意:我含泪坦言,自己曾一味渴求他人认可,这般想法实在荒唐。空前是介词for,因此需要名词作宾语,所给词recognize为动词,需变为名词recognition,为不可数名词。
25.As high school students, we (expect) to obey school rules and respect our teachers. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】are expected
【详解】句意:作为高中生,我们被要求遵守校规、尊敬师长。设空处为谓语,主语we与动词expect之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语为we,be动词用are,expect的过去分词为expected。
26.The company announced a major (expand) into the Asian market next year. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】expansion
【详解】句意:该公司宣布明年将在亚洲市场进行大规模扩张。major是形容词,修饰名词,expand的名词是expansion,意为“扩张”,空前有a,空格处用单数。
27.Physics, as well as other natural sciences, (boost) our understanding of the universe. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】boosts
【详解】句意:物理学以及其他自然科学,提升了我们对宇宙的理解。此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,as well as连接并列成分作主语时,谓语动词的数应与as well as之前的名词的数保持一致,Physics是单数概念,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式boosts。
28. (give) that she has no experience, she did a great job. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Given
【详解】句意:考虑到她没有经验,她做得非常好了。given that是固定短语,意为“考虑到”,引导原因状语从句,符合句意。因此要把give变成过去分词given,置于句首要变成Given。
29.Born with a (strength) will, he never gives up when facing challenges. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】strong
【详解】句意:生来就拥有强大的意志力,面对挑战时他从不放弃。修饰will用形容词strong,作定语。
30.The store sells (vary) styles of dresses to meet different customers’ needs. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】various
【详解】句意:这家商店出售各种风格的连衣裙,以满足不同顾客的需求。修饰名词styles需用形容词形式,vary的形容词为various,意为“各种各样的;不同的”。
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,38分)
第一节(共14小题;每小题2分,共28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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
What do the following places have in common: the Serengeti Desert, Edinburgh’s Old Town and the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve?
The Serengeti Desert is in Tanzania and Kenya, Africa. It contains thousands of kilometers of dry grasslands and many rare kinds of animals.
Edinburgh’s Old Town is in the capital city of Scotland. It has many old buildings and streets. There are very few new buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is near Mexico City in Mexico. It has beautiful flowers and forests. It is also the home of millions of butterflies in the winter.
These three places are very different. But they are all under special protection by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织). They are World Heritage Sites.
The story of World Heritage Sites begins more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the great king of Egypt built many temples. But after thousands of years, sand covered them.
Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples. One day, Abu Simbel saw something under the sand. Soon, the ancient temples of Ramses Ⅱwere officially rediscovered. But they were not safe. The government of Egypt planned to build a dam on the Nile River. It would create a large lake, which would cover the temples in water.
Many people did not want the temples destroyed. UNESCO agreed and raised 40 million dollars from around the world to save the temples. From 1964 to 1968, engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the Nile River. Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.
The effort to save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success. So in 1972, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Committee, which protects places on the earth that are of great cultural or natural value.
Any country in the world can ask for protection from UNESCO. The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.
31.What’s special about Edinburgh’s Old Town?
A.It has no new buildings. B.It’s a World Heritage Site.
C.It’s in the capital city of Scotland. D.It has the oldest streets in the world.
32.The young boy Abu Simbel .
A.grew up to be a great engineer B.took part in building the temples
C.lived in Egypt about 3,000 years ago D.was the first to discover the hidden temples
33.The last paragraph mainly deals with .
A.how a World Heritage Site is chosen
B.why the World Heritage Committee was formed
C.how often the World Heritage Committee works
D.why countries ask for protection from UNESCO
【答案】31.C 32.D 33.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了三处世界遗产以及世界遗产委员会的起源。
【详解】31.细节理解题。根据第三段“Edinburgh’s Old Town is in the capital city of Scotland.(爱丁堡老城位于苏格兰的首都)”可知,Edinburgh’s Old Town位于苏格兰的首都是它的特别之处。故选C。
32.细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的“Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples.(故事讲述的是一个名叫Abu Simbel的小男孩发现了这些神庙)”和倒数第三段中的“Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.(今天,它们被称为Abu Simbel神庙,以纪念第一个发现它们的小男孩)”可知,Abu Simbel是第一个发现那些寺庙的人。故选D。
33.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.(这些国家向世界遗产委员会提交了一份遗产地名单。世界遗产委员会每年召开一次会议,投票决定哪些地方需要保护。当他们选择一个地方时,它就正式成为世界遗产)”可知,本段主要讲述了世界遗产地是怎样被选出来的。故选A。

When Hunter Carson got to the small town of Liberty Hill, everything felt like a blank page. Back in his old town, he had been the shy kid, the one people called “weird” (古怪的) because he sketched (素描) during lunch and dressed improperly. Here, he told himself, things would be different.
The night before his first day at Liberty Hill High, Hunter chose a simple, “normal” outfit. He hid his favourite sketchbook under the bed and practiced a confident smile. “New town, new you,” he whispered to himself.
Day one went better than expected. Here, a boy called Tyler even asked if he wanted to partner up. Over the next few weeks, Hunter kept his version-two self polished: confident, a bit distant, and definitely less weird. He laughed at the right times, joined the ping pong club but didn’t talk too much about sketches.
One Saturday morning, Hunter was lost in drawing without the pressure of being “someone else” when Tyler texted him to play ping pong. Despite his hesitation, he agreed. During the game, Tyler suddenly commented that Hunter sometimes left the impression of not really being there. “You don’t have to try so hard. You’re good as you are,” Tyler added. Hunter didn’t respond right away, but after that day Tyler’s words echoed in his mind.
At lunch one day, Emily, a girl from his art class, sat with him and asked, “Are you the guy who makes the sketches in the art room? They are amazing.” Hunter’s heart skipped. He’d left his sketchbook at school before, and someone had picked it up, flipping through the pages of drawings. He nodded, suddenly feeling self-conscious. “Yes, I guess that’s me.” “You should really show more people,” Emily said genuinely.
That night, Hunter sat on his bed, his sketchbook open in his lap. Maybe he didn’t need to erase parts of himself to start over. Hunter closed the sketchbook — maybe tomorrow he’d bring it to school and let someone see.
37.Why did Hunter hide his sketchbook initially?
A.He feared being made fun of.
B.He wanted to start a new life.
C.He planned to amaze his friends.
D.He thought it far from satisfying.
38.What can be inferred from Tyler’s comment in Paragraph 4?
A.Hunter was hiding true personality.
B.Tyler praised Hunter’s performance.
C.Hunter had little talent in ping pong.
D.Tyler disliked Hunter’s distant attitude.
39.What did Emily encourage Hunter to do?
A.Improve his social skills.
B.Behave more confidently.
C.Exhibit his talent in sketching.
D.Make some like-minded friends.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.True confidence comes from embracing yourself.
B.Physical activities smooth over negative feelings.
C.Sharing hobbies is the key to making real friends.
D.A trustworthy friend is someone who respects you.
【答案】37.B 38.A 39.C 40.A
【导语】文章主要讲述了Hunter Carson搬到新城镇后,试图改变自己以融入新环境,但最终意识到不必隐藏真实的自我,应该接纳并展示自己的独特之处。
【详解】37.推理判断题。根据第二段“The night before his first day at Liberty Hill High, Hunter chose a simple, “normal” outfit. He hid his favourite sketchbook under the bed and practiced a confident smile. “New town, new you,” he whispered to himself.(在Liberty Hill高中的第一天的前一天晚上,Hunter选择了一套简单、“普通”的服装。他把自己最喜欢的素描本藏在床底下,并练习自信的微笑。“新城镇,新的你,”他对自己轻声说。)”可知,Hunter藏起素描本是因为他想以全新的形象开始新生活。
38.推理判断题。根据第四段中“During the game, Tyler suddenly commented that Hunter sometimes left the impression of not really being there. “You don’t have to try so hard. You’re good as you are,” Tyler added.(在比赛中,Tyler突然评论说Hunter有时给人一种不在场的感觉。“你不必这么努力。你本来就很好,”Tyler补充道。)”可知,Tyler的话暗示Hunter在隐藏真实的自我,没有展现出真实的性格。
39.细节理解题。根据第五段中““You should really show more people,” Emily said genuinely.(“你真的应该给更多的人看看,”Emily真诚地说。)”可知,Emily鼓励Hunter展示他的素描才华。
40.推理判断题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段中“Maybe he didn’t need to erase parts of himself to start over. Hunter closed the sketchbook — maybe tomorrow he’d bring it to school and let someone see. (也许他不需要为了重新开始而抹去自己的一部分。Hunter合上了素描本 —— 也许明天他会把它带到学校,让别人看看。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Hunter Carson搬到新城镇后,试图改变自己以融入新环境,但最终意识到不必隐藏真实的自我,应该接纳并展示自己的独特之处。所以通过Hunter的经历传达了一个信息:真正的自信来自于接纳自己,而不是隐藏或改变自己。
D
You may remember those stories from a few years back about how there were more men called John running big companies than there were women. In our company, we had our own version: there were more Sarahs than there were men.
So why do some names become so popular at certain moments in time? According to a historical database of English birth records, more than 8 percent of baby boys were named John in the mid-19th century, similar to the proportion (占比) of baby girls named Mary. It was a less dominant, but still very common baby name by the 1940s and 1950s, which explains all those ageing leaders called John in the 2010s.
But since then, John’s popularity has plummeted. The top three boys’ names in England and Wales are now Muhammad, Noah and Oliver. But not all popular 19th-century names have gone the way of John. Some have staged a comeback — Sarah is a perfect example.
Sarah was a common name in mid-19th-century England, but its fall came sharper and faster than John, and by the first half of the 20th century it was a fairly unusual name to give a baby. Yet, in the 1970s and 1980s, it staged a remarkable comeback, shooting up the rankings to become one of the most popular girls’ names. That explains why there are so many Sarahs in our company, 40 years later. Experts say that for a “second act”, these old names need to have been unpopular for a couple of generations, so that they attract parents of new babies who are looking for tradition but don’t want names they associate with their parents ‘or grandparents’ era. Sarah, therefore, may well experience a 100-year hiatus (停滞) as a result of its own “second wind” success.
Even if names like Sarah stage another comeback one day, they’re unlikely to ever achieve the levels of popularity they once commanded. The data shows that the drive towards individualism has increased in recent decades and the timely publication of baby name data is beginning to shape the trends too. It might enable parents to realise more quickly when a name has become very popular and to choose one further down the list instead.
41.What made so many men called John run big companies a few years ago?
A.Growing ageing populations. B.High proportion of the name.
C.Discrimination against women. D.Johns’ superb managerial skills.
42.What does the underlined word “plummeted” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Peaked. B.Dropped. C.Returned. D.Stabilized.
43.What can we learn about the name Sarah?
A.It regained popularity. B.It reflects individualism.
C.It mirrored generation gap. D.It holds lasting attraction.
44.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Origin of Personal Names. B.How to Choose a Special Name.
C.The Rise and Fall of Popular Names. D.How Culture Shapes Common Names.
【答案】41.B 42.B 43.A 44.C
【导语】这篇文章主要以约翰和莎拉为例,讨论了流行名字的兴衰。
【详解】41.细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to a historical database of English birth records, more than 8 percent of baby boys were named John in the mid-19th century, similar to the proportion (占比) of baby girls named Mary. It was a less dominant, but still very common baby name by the 1940s and 1950s, which explains all those ageing leaders called John in the 2010s.( 根据一份有关英国出生记录的历史数据库显示,在19世纪中期,超过 8%的男婴被命名为约翰,与叫玛丽的女婴的比例相似。到 20世纪 40年代和50年代,约翰这个名字的受欢迎程度虽不那么突出,但仍然非常普遍。这也就解释了为什么在21 世纪10年代那些年长的领导人中会有那么多叫约翰的男性。)”可知,一些年前有如此多叫约翰的男性经营大型企业是因为这个名字的比例很高。
42.词句猜测题。根据第三段前半句用 But 转折,以及下文“The top three boys’ names in England and Wales are now Muhammad, Noah and Oliver.( 如今在英格兰和威尔士,最受欢迎的三个男孩名字是穆罕默德、诺亚和奥利弗。)”由此可知,约翰这个名字的受欢迎程度大幅下降。故可猜测划线单词plummeted为“下降”的意思,和B选项Dropped“下降”意思相近。
43.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Sarah was a common name in mid-19th-century England, but its fall came sharper and faster than John, and by the first half of the 20th century it was a fairly unusual name to give a baby. Yet, in the 1970s and 1980s, it staged a remarkable comeback, shooting up the rankings to become one of the most popular girls’ names.( 莎拉在 19 世纪中期的英格兰是很常见的名字,但它的衰落速度比约翰更快更猛烈,到 20 世纪初,给婴儿取这个名字已经变得相当少见了。然而,在 20 世纪 70 年代和 80 年代,它却实现了惊人的复兴,排名大幅上升,最终成为最受欢迎的女孩名字之一。)”可知,关于“莎拉”这个名字,我们可以了解到它再度流行起来。
44.主旨大意题。本文围绕热门名字的兴衰变化展开,以约翰和萨拉两个经典英文名为例,讲述了它们不同的热度走势:约翰从曾经的国民名字逐渐失宠,萨拉则经历了衰落又再度走红的过程;同时分析了名字流行、复兴的原因,以及当下人们追求个性、名字数据公开等因素,让经典名字难以再复刻往日超高人气。由此可知,这篇文章的最佳标题是“流行名字的兴衰”。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know stress from work can follow us home, but what if it’s not just your partner or kids feeling its effect? A study by Mitropoulos and Andrukonis, published last week in Scientific Reports, uncovers a surprising yet deeply relatable finding: your job stress can “cross over” to your dog, particularly when you can’t stop thinking about work after hours. 45 That is to say, even your furry companion might be quietly suffering alongside you.
The invisible link: when your stress becomes your dog’s
Dogs are incredibly sensitive. 46 Therefore, it can be said that dogs are masters of emotional detection. Scientists have long known that dogs experience emotional contagion (感染); in other words, they “catch” our feelings. Now, this study is one of the first to show that job-related stress, when paired with constant overthinking, can result in real behavioral stress responses in dogs.
The most convincing finding?
In the study, dogs whose owners reported high job stress and frequently focused on work showed more behavioral signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or reduced playfulness. 47 It suggests our dogs may be more stressed than we realize.
What can dog owners do?
Manage your emotional clues. Dogs can sense human feelings easily. So try to be conscious of how you speak and move around them, especially during stressful times. 48 .
Mindfulness practices — like meditation, deep breathing, or simply being present — help reduce work-related overthinking and allow for genuine relaxation with your dog.
49 If your job stress feels unmanageable, consider reaching out for help, whether from your employer, a therapist, or a stress management program. Caring for yourself is one of the best ways to care for your pet.
A.Get support if you need it.
B.The effects of stress on humans go further than we think.
C.Turn off work notifications and fully engage with your dog.
D.Gentle tones and relaxed body language can help calm your dog.
E.However, owners in life often fail to recognize these stress behaviors.
F.They can read our facial expressions and sense changes in tone and posture.
G.It turns out our dogs share not only our homes, but also our emotional burdens.
【答案】45.G 46.F 47.E 48.D 49.A
【导语】文章主要介绍了工作带来的压力不仅会影响人类自身,还可能“传染”给家中的宠物狗,并给出了狗主人应如何应对的建议。
【详解】45.上文“A study by Mitropoulos and Andrukonis, published last week in Scientific Reports, uncovers a surprising yet deeply relatable finding: your job stress can “cross over” to your dog, particularly when you can’t stop thinking about work after hours. (Mitropoulos和Andrukonis上周发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究,揭示了一个令人惊讶却又极易引起共鸣的发现:你的工作压力会 “转移”到你的狗身上,尤其是当你下班后还忍不住琢磨工作的时候。)”提到工作压力会转移到狗身上,尤其是下班后还在想工作时。选项G“It turns out our dogs share not only our homes, but also our emotional burdens. (事实证明,我们的狗狗不仅和我们同住一个屋檐下,还会和我们一同承担情感负担。)”延续上文内容,指出狗会和我们一起承担情感负担。
46.上文“Dogs are incredibly sensitive. (狗狗异常敏感。)”指出狗非常敏感。选项F“They can read our facial expressions and sense changes in tone and posture. (它们能读懂我们的面部表情,感知语气和姿势的变化。)”具体解释了狗的敏感体现在哪些方面,与下文“Therefore, it can be said that dogs are masters of emotional detection. (因此,可以说狗狗是情感探测的高手。)”形成因果关系,衔接自然。
47.上文“In the study, dogs whose owners reported high job stress and frequently focused on work showed more behavioral signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or reduced playfulness. (研究中,那些主人自称工作压力大且频繁惦记工作的狗狗,表现出了更多有压力的行为,比如踱步、呜咽,或是玩耍的兴致降低。)”指出压力大且常想工作的主人,其狗会表现出更多压力行为。选项E“However, owners in life often fail to recognize these stress behaviors. (然而,生活中主人往往意识不到这些应激行为。)”通过转折,引出狗的压力被忽视的现象,与下文“It suggests our dogs may be more stressed than we realize. (这表明我们的狗可能比我们意识到的更有压力。)”呼应,符合逻辑。
48.上文“Manage your emotional clues. Dogs can sense human feelings easily. So try to be conscious of how you speak and move around them, especially during stressful times. (管理好你的情绪信号。狗狗很容易察觉到人的情绪。所以,要留意在它们面前说话的方式和肢体动作,尤其是在压力大的时候。)”建议要注意在狗面前的说话方式和动作,尤其是压力大的时候。选项D“Gentle tones and relaxed body language can help calm your dog. (温和的语气和放松的肢体语言有助于安抚你的狗狗。)”是对注意说话方式和动作的具体说明,给出了实际做法,衔接紧密。
49.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“If your job stress feels unmanageable, consider reaching out for help, whether from your employer, a therapist, or a stress management program. Caring for yourself is one of the best ways to care for your pet. (要是工作压力大到难以承受,可以考虑寻求帮助,无论是向雇主求助、找治疗师咨询,还是参加压力管理课程。照顾好自己,也是照顾好宠物的最佳方式之一。)”可知,本段讲的是如果工作压力难以应对,可以寻求雇主、治疗师或压力管理项目的帮助。选项A“Get support if you need it. (如果需要,寻求支持。)”是对下文内容的概括,作为该段的主题句,引出具体的求助方式,结构合理。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第50、51题各2分、第52题3分,第53题5分,共12分)
Survey data show that American customers today are more than twice as likely to complain about a product or service as they were in 1976. People are grumbling more at work too. Nearly a third of employers in one UK-based survey witnessed an increase in employee complaints over a two-year period.
Of course, you can always find something to complain about. But if you do so habitually, that is probably hurting you, making others feel down, and making you a less attractive person to be around. So you might want to resist the trend toward a culture of complaint.
There are two types of complaining: “instrumental” and “chronic”. “Instrumental” complaining is done to solve a clear problem. “Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain sympathy.
The problem with complaining is that even though it can feel therapeutic, it typically doesn’t lead to positive changes in the long run. Studies show that the more people complain, the more negative they feel. Even worse, in some cases, the people around you will also become negative.
Let’s assume, however, that you live in a society that does not rely on spreading misery. Much more likely is that it is time to stop complaining. If you can deal with dissatisfaction positively, the people you care about will be happier too.
50.What is the purpose of “instrumental” complaining?
51.What are the negative effects of complaining?
52.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain it.
“Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain encouragement.
53.Instead of complaining, how would you deal with dissatisfaction in life? (In about 40 words)
【答案】50.It is done to solve a clear problem. 51.It hurts oneself, makes others feel down, makes one unattractive, and makes people more negative. 52.
“Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain encouragement.
“Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain sympathy. 53.I will keep calm and try to find practical solutions instead of complaining. I will adjust my mindset and take positive action to improve the situation. Besides, I will communicate my dissatisfaction politely to avoid negative emotions piling up.
【导语】文章主要介绍了如今消费者和职场人士抱怨现象日益增多,区分了功利性抱怨和习惯性消极抱怨两种类型,指出频繁抱怨的负面影响,并建议人们停止无谓抱怨、以积极方式处理不满情绪。
50.细节理解题。根据原文第三段““Instrumental” complaining is done to solve a clear problem.(功利性抱怨是为了解决某个明确的问题。)”可知,功利性抱怨的目的是解决明确的问题。
51.细节理解题。根据原文第二段“But if you do so habitually, that is probably hurting you, making others feel down, and making you a less attractive person to be around.(如果习惯性抱怨,可能会伤害自己、让他人情绪低落,也会让自己变得不受欢迎。)”以及第四段“Studies show that the more people complain, the more negative they feel. Even worse, in some cases, the people around you will also become negative.(研究表明,人们抱怨越多,自身情绪越消极,甚至还会让身边的人也变得消极。)”可知,抱怨会伤害自身、令他人心情低落、让人变得不受欢迎,还会使自己和身边人变得消极。
52.细节理解题。根据原文第三段““Chronic” complaining is a state in which the complainers constantly think about their misery and try to obtain sympathy.(习惯性抱怨是这样一种状态:抱怨者总是纠结于自身的不幸遭遇,还试图博取他人的同情。)”可知,习惯性抱怨者试图博取他人的同情,而不是鼓励,原句中encouragement为错误表述,需要划线标出。
53.开放性题目。题干问:不选择抱怨的话,你会如何处理生活中的不满情绪?根据最后一段“If you can deal with dissatisfaction positively, the people you care about will be happier too.(如果你能以积极的心态处理心中的不满,你在乎的人也会过得更开心。)”可知,要以积极的心态处理心中的不满。可回答:我会保持冷静,努力寻找切实可行的解决办法。我会调整心态,采取积极行动去改善现状。此外,我会礼貌表达自己的不满,避免负面情绪不断堆积。答案不唯一,言之有理即可。

【答案】范文
On a misty morning, our team, made up of 5 members, set out on a one-week adventure. At the beginning, we enjoyed the cool breeze and the fantastic coastline. When night fell, we could barely find a comfortable shelter to sleep, so we had to stay overnight in the wild. While crossing a lake, one of us was almost drowned. And worst of all, we got lost in the forest, having no choice but to wait for rescue. Faced with so many challenges, we got to doubt whether we could make it to the destination. We couldn’t help recalling the comfort of our home. Thankfully, rescuers arrived in time, and that was why we returned home safe and sound. Today, when telling the story, nobody can depict the adventure as a glory.
