Relationship building and teamwork. C. Problem-solving and original thinking. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Good morning, everyone. Your generation finds itself in an interesting situation. Right now, you’re studying for an exam that will hopefully get you into college and prepare you for a successful career. At the same time, you’re watching the world of work changing and rebuilding itself before your eyes. With thousands of jobs already lost to AI and robots, how can you ensure that the path you choose won’t lead you to a “dead end”? The answer lies in developing skills that machines cannot easily replace. For example, computers can process information quickly, but they still struggle with creative solutions and complex decision-making. People who can think independently to find solutions and bring fresh ideas will always be most valued by employers. Secondly, no matter how advanced technology becomes, businesses will still need people who can work well with others, share ideas positively, and build relationships with a variety of people. Also thanks to working from home, many of us are already working with people from different backgrounds. So language skills, mental flexibility, and cultural awareness are becoming more and more important. Of course, the careers of today may not even exist tomorrow. So, be open to change and to learning new things, as this is the only way to keep pace in such a fast-moving world. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A A Step-by-Step Guide to Observing Variable Stars Variable stars are stars that vary in brightness. They can be interesting to observe, and this is where amateur astronomy can make great contributions to the professional area. Step 1: Finding Variable Stars 1. Go out observing stars. Go out and familiarize yourself with the stars. 2. Identify a variable star you want to observe (target star). 3. Find some non-variable stars (guide stars) near your star, which should be of a similar brightness to your target star. 4. Compare how bright the variable star is to the guide stars every night. Step 2: Recording Your Observations 1. Get yourself a notebook and a pencil. If you need a flashlight, place a red filter (过滤器) when the light shines through. Using a flashlight without doing this will ruin your night vision. 2. At the top, write down the name of the target star and then the guide stars. 3. Every night, record how bright your target star is compared to the guide stars. Write down the date and time as well. 4. Try drawing a chart of how your target star changes in its brightness. The chart can help you identify what type of variable star you are observing. Step 3: Identifying the Types 1. Based on your chart, judge if your target star belongs to the main types or the rarer types of variable stars. The main types generally have regular and predictable variations, while the rarer types don’t. 2. If your target star belongs to the main types of variable stars, click here for reference charts to identify its sub-type. If it belongs to the rarer types, refer to the following explanations and reference charts. ● Flare stars spend most of their time at a low brightness, and sometimes, for a few minutes, jump up in brightness. ● Recurrent novae are similar to flare stars, but they have much greater jumps in brightness, and jumps are a lot rarer. ● R Coronae Borealis stars spend most time at their maximum brightness. At unpredictable intervals, their brightness decreases quickly, and then goes back up. ● Supernovae are rare events. When a star runs out of fuel, its life changes dramatically. They are incredibly bright, but seeing one with the naked eye can be a once-in-a-lifetime event. (* In the above reference charts, T stands for TIME; B stands for BRIGHTNESS) 21. What can we conclude about star observation according to the text? A. Target stars should be chosen prior to guide stars. B. Proper use of flashlights requires no extra device. C. Drawing charts is intended to compare the target stars. D. Observing supernovae with the naked eye is impossible. 22. Which of the following charts best illustrates the change in brightness of a R Coronae Borealis star? A. B. C. D. 23. Which website section does the text probably come from? A. Space Travelling. B. Professional Career. C. Productive Hobbies. D. Daily Entertainment. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】介绍业余天文爱好者观测变星的分步操作指南，并列举了四类变星的亮度变化特征。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Step 1: Finding Variable Stars”中“2. Identify a variable star you want to observe (target star). 3. Find some non - variable stars (guide stars) near your star, which should be of a similar brightness to your target star.(2. 确定你想要观测的变星（目标星）。3. 在你的目标星附近找到一些非变星（导星），它们的亮度应该与你的目标星相似)”可知，应先选择目标星，再找导星。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“R Coronae Borealis stars spend most time at their maximum brightness. At unpredictable intervals, their brightness decreases quickly, and then goes back up.(北冕座R型星大部分时间处于最大亮度。在不可预测的间隔时间里，其亮度会迅速下降，然后又回升)”可知，C选项的图表最能体现北冕座R型星的亮度变化特征。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“They can be interesting to observe, and this is where amateur astronomy can make great contributions to the professional area.(这类星体很值得观测，而这正是业余天文学能够在专业领域大放异彩、做出重要贡献的地方。)”可知，文章围绕观测变星这一业余爱好展开，详细介绍观测步骤等，属于富有成效的业余爱好范畴，所以这篇文章可能在富有成效的爱好这一板块中被找到。 B For the past three months, Roy Kohnke has cycled through Beijing’s hutongs and diverse parks, turning the ancient capital into both his studio and constant source of muse. He is participating in a cross-residency project, a cooperative program jointly launched by the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Choi Centre Cloud House in Beijing. The project encourages artists to take a deep dive into the foreign environment, gather inspiration, and build durable artistic bonds across borders. Based in Paris, Kohnke’s practice focuses on sculpture and extends into drawing, text and audio-visual installations. During his stay in Beijing, the 35-year-old has employed laser-cutting technology to engrave and slice paper, producing what he describes as “a mix of sculptures and drawings”. During his 3-month residency, his creative base is the Choi Centre Cloud House, a cultural center on the outskirts of Beijing that integrates modern architecture with a classical Chinese garden. There, in his temporary studio, rows of paintings and sketches line the walls, each a direct reflection of the inspiration drawn from his explorations of the city. He once spent plenty of time booking tickets online to visit the National Museum of China, where traditional Chinese crafts left him a deep impression. Greatly fascinated by the delicate brick carvings on ancient Chinese buildings, he took many reference photos to fuel his later creation. Besides, with keen interest in China’s technological and industrial development, he visited specialized factories to explore his materials’ manufacturing process, as he believes understanding materials’ origin and properties is essential to artistic creation and that materials play a crucial role in shaping artwork. Having arrived in Beijing in October, his three-month residency is drawing to a close. Yet, this conclusion is merely a beginning for the artist. “This is just the first step. I prefer to build long-term experiences with the places I visit and work in.” Kohnke views art as a powerful channel for communication across cultures. “It’s about sensations. It’s important to work with and express sensations,” he adds. 24. What can we learn about the cross-residency project from paragraph 1? A. It is launched by a single art institution. B. It forms cross-border art inspiration and ties. C. It focuses on traditional-style creation. D. It requires over six-month residency. 25. What method does Kohnke draw on to produce his unique works in Beijing? A. He copies traditional Chinese brick carvings. B. He consults the Choi Centre Cloud House’s artists. C. He adopts laser-cutting technology to process paper. D. He combines western sculptures and Chinese drawings. 26. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The development of China’s industry. B. The origin and history of Chinese crafts. C. Kohnke’s cultural exploration of materials. D. Kohnke’s experiences of gaining inspiration. 27. What may Kohnke think of the 3-month residency? A. Exhausting and regretful. B. Inspiring and fulfilling. C. Challenging yet fascinating. D. Demanding yet uplifting. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了艺术家罗伊·科恩克（Roy Kohnke）参与北京与巴黎合作的跨境艺术家驻留项目，三个月里他在北京采风创作、融入当地环境获取艺术灵感，同时他将此作为跨文化艺术交流的开端，计划建立长期联结。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The project encourages artists to take a deep dive into the foreign environment, gather inspiration, and build durable artistic bonds across borders.(该项目鼓励艺术家深入国外环境，收集灵感，建立持久的跨国界艺术纽带。)”可知，该项目鼓励艺术家深入异域环境收集灵感、建立跨境艺术联结，即此跨境驻留项目形成跨境艺术灵感和联系。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“During his stay in Beijing, the 35-year-old has employed laser-cutting technology to engrave and slice paper, producing what he describes as “a mix of sculptures and drawings”.(在北京期间，35岁的他使用激光切割技术雕刻和切割纸张，创作出他所说的“雕塑和绘画的结合”。)”可知，Kohnke在北京创作时，使用激光切割技术对纸张进行雕刻切割，做出了独特作品，即他采用激光切割技术加工纸张。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。第三段“He once spent plenty of time booking tickets online to visit the National Museum of China, where traditional Chinese crafts left him a deep impression. Greatly fascinated by the delicate brick carvings on ancient Chinese buildings, he took many reference photos to fuel his later creation. Besides, with keen interest in China’s technological and industrial development, he visited specialized factories to explore his materials’ manufacturing process, as he believes understanding materials’ origin and properties is essential to artistic creation and that materials play a crucial role in shaping artwork.(他曾经花了很多时间在网上订票参观中国国家博物馆，那里的中国传统工艺给他留下了深刻的印象。他被中国古代建筑上精致的砖雕深深吸引，拍摄了许多参考照片，为他后来的创作提供了动力。此外，他对中国的科技和工业发展有着浓厚的兴趣，他参观了专门的工厂，探索他的材料的制造过程，因为他认为了解材料的来源和性质对艺术创作至关重要，材料在塑造艺术作品的过程中起着至关重要的作用)”分别介绍了Kohnke参观国家博物馆，被中国传统工艺吸引、拍摄砖雕照片作为参考图，还探访工厂了解材料制作过程，所有经历都是为创作收集灵感，因此第三段主要讲述Kohnke获取灵感的经历。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“For the past three months, Roy Kohnke has cycled through Beijing’s hutongs and diverse parks, turning the ancient capital into both his studio and constant source of muse.(在过去的三个月里，罗伊·科恩克（Roy Kohnke）在北京的胡同和各种各样的公园里骑行，把这座古都变成了他的工作室和源源不断的灵感来源。)”以及最后一段中“Yet, this conclusion is merely a beginning for the artist. “This is just the first step. I prefer to build long-term experiences with the places I visit and work in.” Kohnke views art as a powerful channel for communication across cultures. “It’s about sensations. It’s important to work with and express sensations,” he adds.(然而，这个结束对艺术家来说不过是一个开始。“这只是第一步。我更倾向于与我到访和工作过的地方积累长期的体验。”科恩克将艺术视为跨文化沟通的有力渠道。“艺术关乎感官体验。重要的是用感官去工作并表达这些感受，”他补充道。)”并结合全文可知，三个月的驻留期间北京给他带来‌源源不断的创作灵感‌，从传统工艺到当代工业都有全新收获，而且强调这只是和中国建立长期联结的第一步，可见他对这段经历非常满意，认为充实且有启发性。 C For decades, the scientific community has held the view that about 700 million years ago, our planet entered extreme cold conditions known as the “Snowball Earth” — a time when thick layers of ice blanketed nearly the entire globe. However, the exact degree of this coldness had remained unresolved. Now, an international research team led by Chinese scientists has made a major breakthrough by providing the first data-based measurements of ocean temperatures from that period. A recent journal publication revealed that sea temperatures along continental margins were roughly between -22°C and -8°C. Such coastal regions supported the highest biological activity. The seawater was also up to four times saltier than modern ocean water. As stated by Lu Kai, the study’s first author and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this represents the coldest ocean temperature ever recorded throughout Earth’s history. This extreme cold period left behind special rocks: rusty (生锈的) red iron formations found where continental glaciers met the ice-covered seas. The researchers used these rocks to measure ancient temperatures. They focused on iron isotopes (同位素) — different forms of iron atoms (原子). These isotopes change in a regular pattern as temperature changes, making them reliable for temperature measurement. By analyzing the iron isotopes in the rocks, the team figured out how cold the ancient ocean was. The results showed that the surface seawater temperature was much lower than today’s 17°C, yet it remained unfrozen. Lu explained that this extreme environment was likely to have formed at the base of massive ice shelves. During the melting and freezing cycles, ice pushes out salts, which build up over time. This creates salt-laden areas with extremely low temperatures. This environment serves as a natural antifreeze, allowing seawater to stay liquid at temperatures far below the normal freezing point. “The discovery contributes to exploring the survival mechanisms of early life in such extreme climates,” Lu said. “It offers initial reliable evidence of the marine ecosystem back in that period, and serves as a valuable reference for analyzing dramatic climate changes as well as the adaptive strategies of ancient organisms facing challenging conditions.” 28. What was long uncertain to scientists about the “Snowball Earth” period? A. The thickness of ice layers. B. The specific ocean temperature. C. The precise timing of the period. D. The accuracy of ocean-related data. 29. What qualifies iron isotopes for temperature measurement in the study? A. Their regular shift with temperature. B. Their stable pattern in cold conditions. C. Their formation under salty conditions. D. Their widespread presence in the rocks. 30. What does the underlined word “salt-laden” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Salt-poor. B. Salt-free. C. Salt-rich. D. Salt-tolerant. 31. What does Lu say about the discovery? A. It confirms climate changes of ancient times. B. It reveals adaptive mechanisms of ancient life. C. It defines a distinctive ancient climate pattern. D. It forecasts the survival trends of ocean species. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】介绍中国科学家牵头的科研团队借助岩石铁同位素，测出“雪球地球”时期远古海洋温度，解释低温海水不结冰的成因以及该发现的科研价值。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, the exact degree of this coldness had remained unresolved. Now, an international research team led by Chinese scientists has made a major breakthrough by providing the first data-based measurements of ocean temperatures from that period.(然而，这种寒冷的确切程度一直没有得到解决。现在，由中国科学家领导的一个国际研究团队取得了重大突破，首次提供了基于数据的那个时期海洋温度的测量结果)”可知，长期以来，科学家们对“雪球地球”时期不确定的是具体的海洋温度。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They focused on iron isotopes (同位素) — different forms of iron atoms (原子). These isotopes change in a regular pattern as temperature changes, making them reliable for temperature measurement.(他们的研究重点是铁同位素，也就是铁原子的不同存在形态。这些同位素随着温度的变化以一种规律的模式变化，这使得它们对于温度测量来说是可靠的)”可知，铁同位素能用于测量温度是因为它们随温度有规律的变化。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“During the melting and freezing cycles, ice pushes out salts, which build up over time. This creates salt-laden areas with extremely low temperatures.(在融化和冻结循环过程中，冰挤出盐分，随着时间的推移盐分不断积累。这就形成了温度极低的salt-laden区域)”可知，盐分不断积累，所以该区域是富含盐分的，“salt-laden”意思是“富含盐分的”。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““The discovery contributes to exploring the survival mechanisms of early life in such extreme climates,” Lu said. “It offers initial reliable evidence of the marine ecosystem back in that period, and serves as a valuable reference for analyzing dramatic climate changes as well as the adaptive strategies of ancient organisms facing challenging conditions.”(“这项发现有助于探索早期生命在这种极端气候下的生存机制，”卢说。“它为那个时期的海洋生态系统提供了初步可靠的证据，并为分析剧烈的气候变化以及古代生物面对挑战性条件的适应策略提供了有价值的参考。”)”可知，卢认为该发现揭示了古代生命的适应机制。 D Brands have long viewed packaging as a marketing tool, ever since the US-based National Biscuit Company launched the first branded consumer package in 1899 — putting its Uneeda soda crackers in paper inside a cardboard box. Companies increasingly switched to using plastic from the 1950s onward. As competition intensified, packaging became the best way to signal a distinct identity. But as brands added a growing variety of dyes, materials, and other complexities, the already unstable economics of plastics recycling collapsed. Just 10 percent of plastic packaging is recycled globally. Meanwhile, reusable packaging remains limited. Standardization could dramatically improve things. If product categories followed uniform guidelines for plastic type, color, labels and glues, recyclers could cheaply recover far more materials. This could finally make recycling economically practical and help achieve the dream of “circularity”, in which a new bottle is made from an old one. The case for standardized reuse systems is equally persuasive. Today, the few brands experimenting with reuse mostly use different containers. These need individual return points alongside custom washing equipment and quality checks, which increase expense and complexity while reducing convenience. Reuse systems based on standardized packaging and shared infrastructure could capture 40 percent of the market, compared with 2 percent under a non-standardized approach, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. To be sure, it is hard to imagine competitors like Procter & Gamble and Unilever voluntarily agreeing to put their shampoo in the same-colored bottles. But as data mounts about the billions of dollars lost each year from single-use plastics that are burned or landfilled — and research reveals more about the health risks linked to thousands of poorly studied chemicals in plastics — brands may find their corner is harder to defend. Legally, it could be argued that the damage caused by custom packaging outweighs any harm caused to brands from standardized containers. Similar plastic bottles won’t solve everything, of course. But such changes increasingly look like good business sense. Without them, truly circular packaging remains a distant dream. 32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By telling the history. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving an example. D. By making comparisons. 33. What benefit could reuse systems gain from standardized packaging? A. Winning economic support. B. Increasing the complexity. C. Expanding the market share. D. Boosting the consumer appeal. 34. What can be inferred about the brands mentioned in paragraph 5? A. They refuse to change bottle colors. B. They put profits before public health. C. They face multiple increasing pressures. D. They risk legal harms from standardization. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic Waste, Hidden Price B. Eco Design, Green Future C. Shared Design, Cyclic Future D. Custom Packaging, Low Efficiency 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍包装从作为品牌营销工具发展至今，因过度复杂导致塑料回收困难及可重复使用包装受限的问题，强调包装标准化对改善这一状况、实现循环包装的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Brands have long viewed packaging as a marketing tool, ever since the US-based National Biscuit Company launched the first branded consumer package in 1899 — putting its Uneeda soda crackers in paper inside a cardboard box. Companies increasingly switched to using plastic from the 1950s onward.(早在 1899 年，美国国家饼干公司推出首款品牌化消费品包装，将尤尼达苏打饼干用纸包裹后装入硬纸盒，自此各大品牌长期把包装视作营销手段。从 20 世纪 50 年代起，企业越来越多地改用塑料包装)”可知，作者通过讲述从1899年美国国家饼干公司推出首个品牌消费包装，到20世纪50年代起包装材料转变的历史过程来引入话题。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Reuse systems based on standardized packaging and shared infrastructure could capture 40 percent of the market, compared with 2 percent under a non-standardized approach, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.(根据艾伦·麦克阿瑟基金会的数据，基于标准化包装和共享基础设施的再利用系统可以占据40%的市场份额，而非标准化方法下仅为2%。)”可知，标准化包装能使再利用系统扩大市场份额。。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But as data mounts about the billions of dollars lost each year from single-use plastics that are burned or landfilled — and research reveals more about the health risks linked to thousands of poorly studied chemicals in plastics — brands may find their corner is harder to defend.(但是，随着每年因焚烧或填埋一次性塑料而损失数十亿美元的数据不断增加，并且研究揭示了更多与塑料中数千种研究不足的化学物质相关的健康风险，品牌商可能会发现他们的立场更难坚守)”可知，品牌商面临着一次性塑料造成经济损失和塑料化学物质健康风险等多方面不断增加的压力。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍包装从作为品牌营销工具发展至今，因过度复杂导致塑料回收困难及可重复使用包装受限的问题，强调包装标准化对改善这一状况、实现循环包装的重要性。C选项“Shared Design, Cyclic Future”(共享设计，循环未来) 体现了标准化包装与循环未来的联系，最适合作为标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Seeing: From Lens to Algorithm (算法) Human history is, at its core, a story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped being passive. ____36____ As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the minute cell, the atom, the DNA structure, the universe. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy. ____37____ Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are. ____38____ The Internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____39____ The network stretches from the depths of space to the finest details of a face. And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; artificial intelligence watches the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____40____ The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look. A. Seeing is no longer believing. B. We no longer merely looked — we searched. C. To see was to know; to measure was to exist. D. The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars. E. Lenses and cameras are now part of the same global system of seeing. F. The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity. G. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. F 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕人类观测方式的演变展开，从最初的透镜发明，历经各类观测仪器，再发展到算法与人工智能观测，讲述人类观察从被动观望逐步走向全方位、智能化探测的发展历程。 【36题详解】 根据前文“From that moment, observation stopped being passive.(从那一刻起，观测不再是被动的行为)”，B选项“We no longer merely looked — we searched.(我们不再只是观望，而是主动探寻)”承接上文，和stopped being passive形成语义呼应。 【37题详解】 根据前文“The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy.(观测行为兼具科学性与哲理性)”C选项“To see was to know; to measure was to exist.(看见即认知，测量即印证存在)”承接上文，从哲理角度诠释观测的意义。 【38题详解】 此处为本段段首总起句，根据后文“The Internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze turned inward and outward at once(互联网让人人都能观测，也让人类自身被观测，视线兼顾内外)”可知本段介绍网络时代下观测变成网络化行为。F选项“The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity.(20世纪将观测转变为一种网络化活动)”总领全段内容。 【39题详解】 根据前文“The gaze turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant.(视线兼顾内外，人类成为数据节点，同步记录与被记录)”以及后文“The network stretches from the depths of space to the finest details of a face.(这套网络从浩瀚太空延伸至人脸细微特征)”，E选项“Lenses and cameras are now part of the same global system of seeing.(镜头与相机如今都归入全球统一观测系统)”衔接前后，引出下文的观测网络。 【40题详解】 根据前文“And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; artificial intelligence watches the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city.(如今，机器已然替人类展开观测：卫星监测气象，人工智能审视世间万物。它们能捕捉到人眼无法察觉的规律：宇宙的运行轨迹、疾病的特征信号、一座城市的生活规律)”，G选项“Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous.(曾经源于好奇的观测，如今变成持续、全方位且自主化的行为)”总结机器观测带来的变化，收束本段。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In a remarkable display of determination and the power of community, 17-year-old Alex Thompson has triumphed over significant challenges to become an inspiration for his peers.

(运用了现在分词sparking作状语) 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last month, our class organized a community service project: helping elderly residents clean up their homes and yards. My group was assigned to Mrs. Garcia, an old lady known in the neighborhood for being difficult. “Don’t expect a warm welcome,” warned the community worker. “She refuses all help. Last time, some volunteers tried to clear her yard, and she chased them away with a broom.” Mrs. Garcia had lived alone since her husband passed away three years ago. Neighbors said she rarely left the house and seemed to have lost interest in keeping things tidy. When we arrived, her yard was a mess — broken furniture, piles of old newspapers, and overgrown bushes blocking the windows. The fence was falling apart, and a rusty(生锈的) old bicycle lay upside down near the gate. Its paint was coming off, and one wheel was missing. We knocked politely, but she just shouted through the door, “Go away! I don’t need your help. You’ll just throw away my precious things!” My teammates looked at each other helplessly. Some suggested leaving. “Why waste our time on someone who doesn’t appreciate it?” complained Mike. Others nodded. But I hesitated. I remembered something my mom once said: “Sometimes people refuse help because they don’t trust you.” I also thought about my own grandmother, who lived alone and often rejected help out of pride. So I decided to try a different approach. Instead of knocking again or shouting back, I sat down on her doorstep and said softly, “Mrs. Garcia, we’re not here to force you. We’re not going to throw anything away without asking. Can we just talk for a moment? Just talk.” Silence. Then the sound of slow footsteps. The door cracked open just a few inches. An old face peered out, suspicious but curious. Her eyes were sharp, but I could also see something else — loneliness, maybe, or fear. “Talk. About what?” she asked, her voice rough but no longer angry. 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。 I smiled and pointed at the rusty bicycle by the gate. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, we were all working together in her yard, and Mrs. Garcia was even telling jokes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I smiled and pointed at the rusty bicycle by the gate. “That bicycle — it looks very old. Was it yours?” Mrs. Garcia’s expression softened. “It was my husband’s,” she said quietly. “He rode it to work every day for thirty years. After he passed away, I couldn’t bear to throw it away.” I asked if she would like us to move it to a better place, maybe clean it up a little. She hesitated, then nodded. Slowly, she came out and showed us other things — the broken bench where they used to sit, the rose bush her daughter had planted. Piece by piece, she began to trust us. Soon, my teammates joined in, listening to her stories instead of rushing to clean. The yard no longer seemed like a task — it became a memory garden. An hour later, we were all working together in her yard, and Mrs. Garcia was even telling jokes. She laughed as we struggled to pull out a stubborn weed, calling us “young fools with strong backs”. Mike, who had wanted to leave earlier, ended up fixing the fence while she handed him tools and told him stories about her youth. We carefully moved the bicycle to a spot near the roses, where she could see it from her window. By the end of the afternoon, the yard was tidy, and Mrs. Garcia was smiling. As we left, she handed each of us a freshly baked cookie. “Come back anytime,” she said. Walking home, I realized that volunteering isn’t just about fixing things — it’s about building trust, one small conversation at a time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了班级组织社区服务项目，“我”所在小组被分配去帮助加西亚夫人清理家园和院子。加西亚夫人以难相处著称，此前拒绝所有帮助。此次“我们” 前往，她依旧抵触。“我”想起妈妈的话，决定尝试不同方法，坐在门口轻声与她交流。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写“我”与加西亚夫人的交流；加西亚夫人讲述物件背后的故事，并逐渐信任“我们”。 ②由第二段首句内容“可知，第二段可描写加西亚夫人与“我们的互动”，下午结束时院子变整洁，加西亚夫人微笑并送饼干，以及“我”的感悟。 2.续写线索：询问自行车——夫人讲述故事——展示其他物件——夫人信任——共同劳动——互动交流——院子整洁——夫人送饼干——“我”领悟意义。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①清理：clean up /tidy up ②意识到：realize /be aware of 情绪类 ①固执的：stubborn/obstinate ②微笑：smile/beam 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Slowly, she came out and showed us other things — the broken bench where they used to sit, the rose bush her daughter had planted.（运用了where引导的定语从句修饰以及省略 that 的定语从句） 【高分句型 2】Walking home, I realized that volunteering isn’t just about fixing things — it’s about building trust, one small conversation at a time.（运用了现在分词短语Walking home作时间状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是长郡高三模拟卷2英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

You're studying for an exam that will hopefully get you into college and prepare you for a successful career. At the same time, you're watching the world of work changing and rebuilding itself before your eyes. With thousands of jobs already lost to AI and robots, how can you ensure that the path you choose won't lead you to a dead end? The answer lies in developing skills that machines cannot easily replace. For example, computers can process information quickly, but they still struggle with creative solutions and complex decision making. People who can think independently to find solutions and bring fresh ideas will always be most valued by employers. Secondly, no matter how advanced technology becomes, businesses will still need people who can work well with others, share ideas positively and build relationships with a variety of people. Also thinks to working from home. Many of us are already working with people from different backgrounds, so language skills, mental flexibility and cultural awareness are becoming more and more important. Of course, the careers of today may not even exist tomorrow, so be open to change and to learning new things, as this is the only way to keep pace in such a fast moving world. Good morning, everyone.

They can be interesting to observe, and this is where amateur astronomy can make great contributions to the professional area. Step 1: Finding Variable Stars 1. Go out observing stars. Go out and familiarize yourself with the stars. 2. Identify a variable star you want to observe (target star). 3. Find some non-variable stars (guide stars) near your star, which should be of a similar brightness to your target star. 4. Compare how bright the variable star is to the guide stars every night. Step 2: Recording Your Observations 1. Get yourself a notebook and a pencil. If you need a flashlight, place a red filter (过滤器) when the light shines through. Using a flashlight without doing this will ruin your night vision. 2. At the top, write down the name of the target star and then the guide stars. 3. Every night, record how bright your target star is compared to the guide stars. Write down the date and time as well. 4. Try drawing a chart of how your target star changes in its brightness. The chart can help you identify what type of variable star you are observing. Step 3: Identifying the Types 1. Based on your chart, judge if your target star belongs to the main types or the rarer types of variable stars. The main types generally have regular and predictable variations, while the rarer types don’t. 2. If your target star belongs to the main types of variable stars, click here for reference charts to identify its sub-type. If it belongs to the rarer types, refer to the following explanations and reference charts. ● Flare stars spend most of their time at a low brightness, and sometimes, for a few minutes, jump up in brightness. ● Recurrent novae are similar to flare stars, but they have much greater jumps in brightness, and jumps are a lot rarer. ● R Coronae Borealis stars spend most time at their maximum brightness. At unpredictable intervals, their brightness decreases quickly, and then goes back up. ● Supernovae are rare events. When a star runs out of fuel, its life changes dramatically. They are incredibly bright, but seeing one with the naked eye can be a once-in-a-lifetime event. (* In the above reference charts, T stands for TIME; B stands for BRIGHTNESS) 21. What can we conclude about star observation according to the text? A. Target stars should be chosen prior to guide stars. B. Proper use of flashlights requires no extra device. C. Drawing charts is intended to compare the target stars. D. Observing supernovae with the naked eye is impossible. 22. Which of the following charts best illustrates the change in brightness of a R Coronae Borealis star? A. B. C. D. 23. Which website section does the text probably come from? A. Space Travelling. B. Professional Career. C. Productive Hobbies. D. Daily Entertainment. B For the past three months, Roy Kohnke has cycled through Beijing’s hutongs and diverse parks, turning the ancient capital into both his studio and constant source of muse. He is participating in a cross-residency project, a cooperative program jointly launched by the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Choi Centre Cloud House in Beijing. The project encourages artists to take a deep dive into the foreign environment, gather inspiration, and build durable artistic bonds across borders. Based in Paris, Kohnke’s practice focuses on sculpture and extends into drawing, text and audio-visual installations. During his stay in Beijing, the 35-year-old has employed laser-cutting technology to engrave and slice paper, producing what he describes as “a mix of sculptures and drawings”. During his 3-month residency, his creative base is the Choi Centre Cloud House, a cultural center on the outskirts of Beijing that integrates modern architecture with a classical Chinese garden. There, in his temporary studio, rows of paintings and sketches line the walls, each a direct reflection of the inspiration drawn from his explorations of the city. He once spent plenty of time booking tickets online to visit the National Museum of China, where traditional Chinese crafts left him a deep impression. Greatly fascinated by the delicate brick carvings on ancient Chinese buildings, he took many reference photos to fuel his later creation. Besides, with keen interest in China’s technological and industrial development, he visited specialized factories to explore his materials’ manufacturing process, as he believes understanding materials’ origin and properties is essential to artistic creation and that materials play a crucial role in shaping artwork. Having arrived in Beijing in October, his three-month residency is drawing to a close. Yet, this conclusion is merely a beginning for the artist. “This is just the first step. I prefer to build long-term experiences with the places I visit and work in.” Kohnke views art as a powerful channel for communication across cultures. “It’s about sensations. It’s important to work with and express sensations,” he adds. 24. What can we learn about the cross-residency project from paragraph 1? A. It is launched by a single art institution. B. It forms cross-border art inspiration and ties. C. It focuses on traditional-style creation. D. It requires over six-month residency. 25. What method does Kohnke draw on to produce his unique works in Beijing? A. He copies traditional Chinese brick carvings. B. He consults the Choi Centre Cloud House’s artists. C. He adopts laser-cutting technology to process paper. D. He combines western sculptures and Chinese drawings. 26. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The development of China’s industry. B. The origin and history of Chinese crafts. C. Kohnke’s cultural exploration of materials. D. Kohnke’s experiences of gaining inspiration. 27. What may Kohnke think of the 3-month residency? A. Exhausting and regretful. B. Inspiring and fulfilling. C. Challenging yet fascinating. D. Demanding yet uplifting. C For decades, the scientific community has held the view that about 700 million years ago, our planet entered extreme cold conditions known as the “Snowball Earth” — a time when thick layers of ice blanketed nearly the entire globe. However, the exact degree of this coldness had remained unresolved. Now, an international research team led by Chinese scientists has made a major breakthrough by providing the first data-based measurements of ocean temperatures from that period. A recent journal publication revealed that sea temperatures along continental margins were roughly between -22°C and -8°C. Such coastal regions supported the highest biological activity. The seawater was also up to four times saltier than modern ocean water. As stated by Lu Kai, the study’s first author and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this represents the coldest ocean temperature ever recorded throughout Earth’s history. This extreme cold period left behind special rocks: rusty (生锈的) red iron formations found where continental glaciers met the ice-covered seas. The researchers used these rocks to measure ancient temperatures. They focused on iron isotopes (同位素) — different forms of iron atoms (原子). These isotopes change in a regular pattern as temperature changes, making them reliable for temperature measurement. By analyzing the iron isotopes in the rocks, the team figured out how cold the ancient ocean was. The results showed that the surface seawater temperature was much lower than today’s 17°C, yet it remained unfrozen. Lu explained that this extreme environment was likely to have formed at the base of massive ice shelves. During the melting and freezing cycles, ice pushes out salts, which build up over time. This creates salt-laden areas with extremely low temperatures. This environment serves as a natural antifreeze, allowing seawater to stay liquid at temperatures far below the normal freezing point. “The discovery contributes to exploring the survival mechanisms of early life in such extreme climates,” Lu said. “It offers initial reliable evidence of the marine ecosystem back in that period, and serves as a valuable reference for analyzing dramatic climate changes as well as the adaptive strategies of ancient organisms facing challenging conditions.” 28. What was long uncertain to scientists about the “Snowball Earth” period? A. The thickness of ice layers. B. The specific ocean temperature. C. The precise timing of the period. D. The accuracy of ocean-related data. 29. What qualifies iron isotopes for temperature measurement in the study? A. Their regular shift with temperature. B. Their stable pattern in cold conditions. C. Their formation under salty conditions. D. Their widespread presence in the rocks. 30. What does the underlined word “salt-laden” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Salt-poor. B. Salt-free. C. Salt-rich. D. Salt-tolerant. 31. What does Lu say about the discovery? A. It confirms climate changes of ancient times. B. It reveals adaptive mechanisms of ancient life. C. It defines a distinctive ancient climate pattern. D. It forecasts the survival trends of ocean species. D Brands have long viewed packaging as a marketing tool, ever since the US-based National Biscuit Company launched the first branded consumer package in 1899 — putting its Uneeda soda crackers in paper inside a cardboard box. Companies increasingly switched to using plastic from the 1950s onward. As competition intensified, packaging became the best way to signal a distinct identity. But as brands added a growing variety of dyes, materials, and other complexities, the already unstable economics of plastics recycling collapsed. Just 10 percent of plastic packaging is recycled globally. Meanwhile, reusable packaging remains limited. Standardization could dramatically improve things. If product categories followed uniform guidelines for plastic type, color, labels and glues, recyclers could cheaply recover far more materials. This could finally make recycling economically practical and help achieve the dream of “circularity”, in which a new bottle is made from an old one. The case for standardized reuse systems is equally persuasive. Today, the few brands experimenting with reuse mostly use different containers. These need individual return points alongside custom washing equipment and quality checks, which increase expense and complexity while reducing convenience. Reuse systems based on standardized packaging and shared infrastructure could capture 40 percent of the market, compared with 2 percent under a non-standardized approach, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. To be sure, it is hard to imagine competitors like Procter & Gamble and Unilever voluntarily agreeing to put their shampoo in the same-colored bottles. But as data mounts about the billions of dollars lost each year from single-use plastics that are burned or landfilled — and research reveals more about the health risks linked to thousands of poorly studied chemicals in plastics — brands may find their corner is harder to defend. Legally, it could be argued that the damage caused by custom packaging outweighs any harm caused to brands from standardized containers. Similar plastic bottles won’t solve everything, of course. But such changes increasingly look like good business sense. Without them, truly circular packaging remains a distant dream. 32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By telling the history. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving an example. D. By making comparisons. 33. What benefit could reuse systems gain from standardized packaging? A. Winning economic support. B. Increasing the complexity. C. Expanding the market share. D. Boosting the consumer appeal. 34. What can be inferred about the brands mentioned in paragraph 5? A. They refuse to change bottle colors. B. They put profits before public health. C. They face multiple increasing pressures. D. They risk legal harms from standardization. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic Waste, Hidden Price B. Eco Design, Green Future C. Shared Design, Cyclic Future D. Custom Packaging, Low Efficiency 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。 Seeing: From Lens to Algorithm (算法) Human history is, at its core, a story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped being passive. ____36____ As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the minute cell, the atom, the DNA structure, the universe. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy. ____37____ Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are. ____38____ The Internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____39____ The network stretches from the depths of space to the finest details of a face. And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; artificial intelligence watches the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____40____ The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look. A. Seeing is no longer believing. B. We no longer merely looked — we searched. C. To see was to know; to measure was to exist. D. The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars. E. Lenses and cameras are now part of the same global system of seeing. F. The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity. G. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In a remarkable display of determination and the power of community, 17-year-old Alex Thompson has triumphed over significant challenges to become an inspiration for his peers.

My group was assigned to Mrs. Garcia, an old lady known in the neighborhood for being difficult. “Don’t expect a warm welcome,” warned the community worker. “She refuses all help. Last time, some volunteers tried to clear her yard, and she chased them away with a broom.” Mrs. Garcia had lived alone since her husband passed away three years ago. Neighbors said she rarely left the house and seemed to have lost interest in keeping things tidy. When we arrived, her yard was a mess — broken furniture, piles of old newspapers, and overgrown bushes blocking the windows. The fence was falling apart, and a rusty(生锈的) old bicycle lay upside down near the gate. Its paint was coming off, and one wheel was missing. We knocked politely, but she just shouted through the door, “Go away! I don’t need your help. You’ll just throw away my precious things!” My teammates looked at each other helplessly. Some suggested leaving. “Why waste our time on someone who doesn’t appreciate it?” complained Mike. Others nodded. But I hesitated. I remembered something my mom once said: “Sometimes people refuse help because they don’t trust you.” I also thought about my own grandmother, who lived alone and often rejected help out of pride. So I decided to try a different approach. Instead of knocking again or shouting back, I sat down on her doorstep and said softly, “Mrs. Garcia, we’re not here to force you. We’re not going to throw anything away without asking. Can we just talk for a moment? Just talk.” Silence. Then the sound of slow footsteps. The door cracked open just a few inches. An old face peered out, suspicious but curious. Her eyes were sharp, but I could also see something else — loneliness, maybe, or fear. “Talk. About what?” she asked, her voice rough but no longer angry. 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。 I smiled and pointed at the rusty bicycle by the gate. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, we were all working together in her yard, and Mrs. Garcia was even telling jokes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
