When we learn a foreign language, we are always a little curious. And we feel proud to be finally able to talk with someone in their language and may even have the opportunities to work abroad. As well as learning the language, we can discover another culture and keep an open mind to a different way of thinking. Today, I can speak different languages fluently: English, Spanish and French. Since I’ve learned them, I feel like it is even easier for me to learn other languages. Learning a foreign language is a daily process. I have learnt basic Thai language since I worked and lived here five years ago. It’s easy for me as I’m surrounded with you native speakers, though I’ve been teaching you people English. I learned how to be more self-confident. I became more imaginative in teaching my students English. I also figured out how to find a good balance between being friendly and being respected at the same time. I learned how to be more playful with the kids, and how to inspire my students to think. It is great to be part of their learning process as a teacher. I plan to spend the next few years learning about Chinese civilization and enjoying its charm. It’s totally different from Western cultures like Spanish and British. Hope you all realize your dreams one day. 第二部分 阅读理解（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） 阅读下面文章，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 A The storied, celebrated Alcatraz and Black Point Historic Gardens in Golden Gate National Recreation Area owe their charm to skilled Parks Conservancy gardeners and dedicated volunteers. Now you can apply their national park expertise to your own backyard! Top Winter Gardening & Planting Tips for the San Francisco Bay Area ● Resist working in the garden on a rainy day — air pockets are a very important part of the recipe for healthy soil and plants, and working in your garden when it’s very wet will firm your soil. ● Double check your seedling identification during weeding! Desired plants can look similar to invasive weeds during their seedling stage. ● Keep fallen leaves on the ground. They provide important shelter for butterflies and moths in the winter, and keep the soil covered and protected through the season. ● See if there’s a way to install a rainwater catchment into your garden. ● Make notes now of how your garden did this year — what plants did well, what struggled, what you’d like to try for next year. Recommended California Native Plants Plant native wildflowers and perennials (多年生植物); they’re perfectly adapted to our local climate and support our native ecosystems. If you plant them with the winter rains, they’ll be strong and need minimal care throughout the rest of the year. Some of our favorite native plants for the garden include: Clarkia “Farewell to Spring,” Baby Blue Eyes, Globe Gilia, Ceanothus “Yankee Point,” Coyote Mint, California Fuchsia, Yarrow, Heuchera maxima, Douglas Iris, and of course California Poppy. Get Involved Ready to take your newfound skills to the parks? No matter the season, Black Point Historic Gardens needs extra hands and volunteering support, or you can become a guide on Alcatraz. Trowels up, in the parks and at home! 21. What can we learn from the winter gardening tips? A. Garden growth need not be recorded. B. Fallen leaves ought to be cleared away. C. Working in wet soil helps keep soil loose. D. Weed carefully to protect desired seedlings. 22. What is the advantage of planting California native plants? A. They demand less care in later growth. B. They fit in well with the local climate. C. They needn’t match local ecosystem. D. They grow much faster than other plants. 23. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A local gardening newsletter. B. A home decoration magazine. C. A national park research paper. D. A travel brochure of scenic spots. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23.

But not every sports fan. In an NFL playoff game last season, the Baltimore Ravens were playing against the Buffalo Bills. With less than two minutes left, the Ravens scored a touchdown, making the score 27-25. If they could score another two points, they would tie the game. The Ravens quarterback threw the ball to tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line. But on the snowy field, Andrews slipped and dropped the ball. The Ravens lost, and their season was over. Most fans would have celebrated, but some Bills fans felt sympathy instead. They knew that Andrews has type 1 diabetes, a disease that requires constant care — he checks his blood sugar 30 times a day and uses an insulin (胰岛素) pump. Two young Bills fans, Ryan Patota and Nicholas Howard, decided to do something different. Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000. “We just want to spread love,” Patota said. “You hate the other team. You want your team to win. But we want to bring both fan bases together and say this is more than a game.” Word spread quickly. Donations poured in from Bills fans, then Ravens fans, and even fans of other NFL teams. Soon they had raised more than $146,000 — far beyond their original goal. Two weeks after the game, Andrews shared his feelings online. “I’m absolutely upset by what happened,” he wrote. “But despite the negativity, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have donated to ‘Breakthrough T1D.’ Patota says he’s still a loyal Bills fan, but now, he adds, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Ravens.” What started as a painful mistake on the field turned into something beautiful — fans from rival teams coming together to support a cause greater than the game itself. 24. What happened to Andrew in an NFL playoff game last season? A. He scored a decisive touchdown. B. He got injured and left the field. C. He stumbled and missed a key pass. D. He passed the ball to his opponent. 25. Why did Patota and Howard start the fundraising? A. To raise money for diabetes research. B. To cover Andrews’ medical expenses. C. To celebrate their team’s playoff victory. D. To gain more followers on Instagram. 26. What can be inferred about Mark Andrews? A. He felt ashamed of his past performance. B. He was grateful for the support he received. C. He was disappointed with his teammates. D. He felt hopeful about his future career. 27. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-Changing Mistake B. From Competition to Generosity C. Lessons from a Playoff Loss D. Living with Type 1 Diabetes 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是一场NFL季后赛中，比尔队球迷没有因对手乌鸦队球员因1型糖尿病发作而失误输球而幸灾乐祸，反而自发为糖尿病研究慈善机构发起筹款，最终将一场赛场上的对立转化为两队球迷联合行善的暖心故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Ravens quarterback threw the ball to tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line. But on the snowy field, Andrews slipped and dropped the ball.(乌鸦队的四分卫将球传给了近端锋Mark Andrews，后者在球门线附近接球。但在雪地场上，Andrews滑倒并丢掉了球。)”可知，上赛季在一场美国职业橄榄球联盟的季后赛中，Andrews失足摔倒，错过了关键传球。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000.(他们没有沉浸在球队获胜的喜悦中，而是为支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构“突破T1D”发起了一场募捐活动。他们的目标是筹集5000美元。)”可知，Patota和Howard发起筹款活动是为了筹集资金用于糖尿病研究。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““But despite the negativity, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have donated to ‘Breakthrough T1D.’ Patota says he’s still a loyal Bills fan, but now, he adds, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Ravens.”(“但在这些负面情绪之外，我看到了发自内心的关爱与鼓励，包括那些为‘突破T1D’捐款的人们。”Patota表示自己仍是比尔队的忠实球迷，但他补充道：“我们现在肯定会为乌鸦队保留一份特别的好感。”)”可知，Mark Andrews感激所得到的支持。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第三段“Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000.(他们没有沉浸在球队获胜的喜悦中，而是为支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构“突破T1D”发起了一场募捐活动。他们的目标是筹集5000美元。)”和倒数第二段“You want your team to win. But we want to bring both fan bases together and say this is more than a game.(你们想让自己的球队赢。但我们想把两队的球迷聚在一起，告诉大家这不仅仅是一场比赛。)”可推知，本文主要讲的是一场NFL季后赛中，比尔队球迷没有因对手乌鸦队球员因1型糖尿病发作而失误输球而幸灾乐祸，反而自发为糖尿病研究慈善机构发起筹款，最终将一场赛场上的对立转化为两队球迷联合行善的暖心故事，重在表达体育超越胜负、传递善意，B项“From Competition to Generosity(从竞争到慷慨)”契合主旨。 C A new research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out. “What we’ve learned is that the techniques actors use have a powerful effect on how children handle language and how they perceive themselves,” said Siri Lee of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The randomized control trial involved hundreds of year 5 pupils — aged nine and ten — at 45 primary schools that had not been “previously exposed to RSC teaching approach.” They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage. The results showed that the target group of pupils drew on a wider vocabulary, used words “classed as more complicated or rarer”, and wrote at greater length. They also “appear to be more comfortable writing in role. While control pupils imagine how they themselves would react to being shipwrecked, target children put themselves in the shoes of a literary character and express the character’s emotion”. The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.” Siri Lee said she had been most surprised by the “emotional literacy that was evident in the target children’s writing” and that they were “more resilient in their writing, more hopeful”. She added: “The emotional understanding was very evident and it is probably related to the rehearsal room process where you are used to trying to imagine your way through. They were comfortable in describing different emotional states and part of what you do in drama is put yourself in different shoes.” The study showed the importance of embedding arts in education, she said. But could the results be replicated with any old dramatist? Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”. 28. Why were the pupils divided into two groups? A. To illustrate the popularity of RSC. B. To prove the advantage of acting-out. C. To measure their writing speed. D. To see their understandings of a drama. 29. What did control pupils’ reliance on “deserted island conventions” show? A. Their preference for big words. B. Their casual style of writing. C. Their weakness in description. D. Their ignorance of small details. 30. What can be inferred about Shakespeare’s use of words? A. It overshadows that of other dramatists. B. It is overly challenging to students. C. It enriches children’s daily vocabulary. D. It is definitely scholarship-oriented. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting Out Shakespeare: A Stone, Two Birds B. Follow in Shakespeare’s Footsteps C. Shakespeare: Language Strugglers’ Cure-all D. Shakespeare: Easier Said Than Done 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项新研究证实通过戏剧表演演绎莎士比亚作品，能够有效提升孩子读写能力与情商，并借助分组对照试验的数据佐证该结论，同时探讨了莎士比亚丰富的词汇量对孩子语言学习的独特作用。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“A new research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out.(一项新研究证实：倘若通过戏剧表演的形式演绎莎士比亚的作品，就能切实提升孩子们的读写能力与情商。)”及第二段“They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage.(他们被分成实验组和对照组，比如要求学生扮演《暴风雨》中遭遇海难后的费迪南德写一封漂流瓶信件，实验组会配合课文开展三十分钟戏剧活动。)”可知，分组是为了对比验证实景演绎戏剧的好处。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.”(这项名为“行动时刻”的研究还发现，对照组学生只会套用棕榈树这类荒岛写作套路，实验组学生描写内容更丰富，能细致描绘天空、大海和环境氛围。)”可知，对照组拘泥固定套路，体现出他们在细节描写方面的短板。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”.(Siri Lee表示还需要更多研究，但提出莎士比亚拥有两万个词汇，远超日常两千常用词，极大拓展了孩子接触到的语言内容，还能配合肢体表演活化文字。)”可知，莎士比亚的用词丰富了孩子们的日常词汇储备。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“A new research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out.(一项新研究证实，如果用表演形式演绎莎士比亚作品，能切实提升孩子的读写能力与情商。)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕表演莎翁作品同时提升读写与情商展开，最佳标题为“表演莎士比亚：一举两得” 。 D As basalt (玄武岩) naturally weathers, it captures CO2, converting it into bicarbonate ions (碳酸氢根离子) in the water, which cannot reenter the atmosphere. Grinding and spreading basalt on farmlands, an approach known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW), has recently gathered steam. But it also has caused polarized viewpoints in terms of trapping CO2 and boosting crop yields. While mining, crushing and transporting these rocks release CO2, those emissions pale in comparison to the amount of CO2 that the rock stores away more permanently. It could remove up to two billion metric tons of CO2 from the air every year were ERW to be scaled up globally, according to David Beerling, a biochemist at the University of Sheffield in England. As great as this would sound, compared with some costly and ecosystem-unfriendly ways, such as CO2-pulling machinery and iron spread across the sea floor to enhance the growth of algae that absorb CO2, some scientists just frown on this idea. Lethal Page had an unpromising result after he conducted an experiment in Malaysia where basalt dust was spread across parts of a palm oil plantation. The dark soil contains more decaying organic matter and more clay than the soil elsewhere. Those charged materials can cling on to the breakdown products of basalt, keeping them from changing CO2 into bicarbonate. “There is a delay in capturing carbon dioxide, which may take somewhere between 5 and 15 years,” Lethal says. Acidity is another complicating factor, according to a trial on tropical sugarcane fields in northeastern Australia. The soil there is acidic, so it can potentially consume the basalt before it has a chance to react with CO2. Initial results show that CO2 capture rates are extremely low. Paul Nelson, a soil scientist at James Cook University who helped lead the study, says it is impossible to fix the problem just by neutralizing acidic soil before adding basalt because in wet tropical areas the acidity extends many meters down, to the bedrock. “ERW is a potentially valuable opportunity to remove CO2, but the aforementioned factors definitely impact its effect, and if companies cut corners, like applying the wrong type of rock or spreading it too thinly, ERW could blow up on the launch pad,” Paul cautions. 32. What is an important feature of basalt? A. It tends to be enveloped by steam. B. It makes for high output of crops. C. It is a useful indicator for weather. D. It disarms a greenhouse gas for good. 33. Why did the Malaysian experiment fall short? A. The soil consumed basalt too slowly. B. Organic matter blocked carbon conversion. C. Clay particles sped up the weathering. D. Bicarbonate formed faster than expected. 34. What is Paul Nelson’s attitude to treating acidic soil before using basalt? A. Enthusiastic. B. Dismissive. C. Reserved. D. Unbiased. 35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了ERW 玄武岩固碳技术，它固碳潜力可观，但受土壤有机质、酸度制约，操作不当也会失效，业内对此看法分歧。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As basalt (玄武岩) naturally weathers, it captures CO2, converting it into bicarbonate ions (碳酸氢根离子) in the water, which cannot reenter the atmosphere.( 随着玄武岩自然风化，它会捕获二氧化碳，并将其转化为水中的碳酸氢根离子，这些离子无法再次进入大气。)”可知，玄武岩的核心特征是自然风化时能捕获二氧化碳，将其转化为无法重返大气的碳酸氢根离子，也就是永久消除了温室气体 CO₂。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The dark soil contains more decaying organic matter and more clay than the soil elsewhere. Those charged materials can cling on to the breakdown products of basalt, keeping them from changing CO2 into bicarbonate.( 这种暗色土壤中含有的腐烂有机物以及黏土都比其他地方的土壤要多。这些带电物质能够附着在玄武岩的分解产物上，从而阻止其将二氧化碳转化为碳酸氢盐。)”可知，马来西亚实验失败的直接原因是土壤中大量的腐殖质和黏土颗粒会吸附玄武岩的分解产物，阻断了 CO₂向碳酸氢根的转化过程。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Paul Nelson, a soil scientist at James Cook University who helped lead the study, says it is impossible to fix the problem just by neutralizing acidic soil before adding basalt because in wet tropical areas the acidity extends many meters down, to the bedrock.( 詹姆斯·库克大学的土壤科学家保罗·尼尔森协助领导了这项研究，他表示，仅仅通过在添加玄武岩之前中和酸性土壤来解决这个问题是不可能的，因为在潮湿的热带地区，酸性会向下延伸数米，直至到达基岩。)”可推知，保罗·尼尔森对于在使用玄武岩之前先对酸性土壤进行处理持不屑一顾的态度。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，五段内容的逻辑关系如下：P1（开头总段）：引入 ERW 玄武岩固碳技术，提出人们对此观点两极分化（总起全文）。P2：阐述 ERW 的优点：固碳量远高于开采排放，减排潜力巨大；P3、P4：连续两个实验，并列说明技术缺陷（土壤有机质阻碍转化、酸性土壤消耗玄武岩）；→ P3、P4 构成一组从属分支。P5（结尾总段）：总结：ERW 有潜力，但多重因素限制效果、违规操作会导致失败（收尾总结）。 （P：paragraph) 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列文章，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。 Small Talk: More Than Just Chit-Chat People often complain about small talk, describing it as “painful” or “dishonest”. ___36___ However, this common opinion fails to recognize the true value of small talk in our daily interactions. As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. ___37___ According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship. Some argue that small talk is boring, but this often reflects poor communication skills rather than a flaw in the activity itself. Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. ___38___ This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. If they lean in and smile at a topic, you can explore it further; if they glance away or give short answers, politely shift to a new topic or invite them to share their own perspective. ___39___ During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. We reached this depth precisely because we started with accessible, low-pressure topics. Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. ___40___ In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. Without these simple, everyday exchanges, our social interactions would feel much more awkward and less satisfying. A. Its value, however, is often overlooked. B. It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person. C. They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics. D. Consider this real-life example from my own experience. E. Good small talk depends on more than just the words you say. F. Without proper skills, small talk can feel shallow and forced. G. It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. B 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要阐述闲聊并非空谈，拥有重要社交价值。 【36题详解】 上文“People often complain about small talk, describing it as “painful” or “dishonest”. (人们常常抱怨闲聊，称它令人煎熬或是虚情假意)”点明人们对闲聊的负面看法，下文“However, this common opinion fails to recognize the true value of small talk (然而这种普遍看法忽视了闲聊的真正价值)”转折引出闲聊的价值。空处延续人们的负面观点，C选项“They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics. (他们大多声称闲聊缺少深度、避开有意义的话题)”承接上文抱怨内容，和下文转折逻辑匹配。 【37题详解】 上文“As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. (事实上闲聊是重要的社交安全区)”提出闲聊的作用，下文“According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship. (礼仪专家Lizzie Post表示，聊聊爱好、近期趣事这类轻松话题能初步营造融洽氛围。有了这份铺垫，日后无论是职场往来还是结交新朋友，都更容易过渡到更有实质内容的深入交谈)”举例说明闲聊铺垫融洽氛围、便于后续深入交谈。G选项“It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin. (它在深度对话开始前营造轻松氛围)”承接上文“safety zone”，引出下文铺垫交谈的具体作用。 【38题详解】 上文“Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. (高质量闲聊需要真诚投入)”点明有效闲聊的要求，下文“This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. (这意味着要收起你的手机，进行眼神交流，并积极关注对方的反应)”是对空处内容的具体解释。B选项“It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person. (它需要全身心投入、细心观察对方)”总领下文细节解释，符合语境。 【39题详解】 下文“During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. (在一次两小时的航程中，我和邻座从聊聊出行计划这类简单闲谈开始。慢慢地，我们二人愈发放松，愿意向彼此敞开心扉。这场随性的开场白最终演变成一场关于人生变迁与个人成长的走心畅谈)”用第一人称叙述亲身经历。空处应是从理论转向实例的过渡句。D选项“Consider this real-life example from my own experience. (来看一段我亲身经历的实例)”总起整段事例内容，衔接上下文。 【40题详解】 上文“Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. (闲聊并非流于表面，是助力人际交往的实用社交工具)”点明闲聊的正面价值，下文“In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. (事实上，闲聊能让我们日常的社交往来变得顺畅，还为深入交流创造契机，倘若没有闲聊，这些深度对话原本无从发生)”进一步阐述其实际作用。空处应与上文正面论述形成对比，再由下文转折回正面。A选项“Its value, however, is often overlooked. (但它的价值常常被忽略)”转折衔接，既呼应开篇人们的偏见，又引出下文闲聊的实际用处。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列文章，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。 It is not flesh and blood, but heart that makes us fathers and sons. — Friedrich von Schiller I built my life on speed — fast boats, fast cars.

Creating a root carving involves several stages: washing, peeling, shaping and carving. Among them, shaping is the most demanding, requiring keen ___59___ (judge) and rich experience. Chen first studies its grain and growth patterns to determine the best direction and theme, when ___60___ (present) with a new root. Selecting the right root is also a great challenge. “Root growth is not controlled by humans; we must adapt ___61___ (we) to the wood,” Chen says. The true creativity of root carving lies not in transforming nature, but in complementing its imperfections, ___62___ (create) a harmonious blend of art and nature. As a practitioner of this intangible cultural heritage, Chen is committed to passing it on. He teaches by bringing root carving into local schools ___63___ he offers theoretical courses and opens his workshop to students. “Root carving requires patience; it can’t ___64___ (rush),” he says. Today, Chen’s works have gained wider recognition through his Guinness World Record, giving Chinese root carving a ___65___ (broad) stage for display. They preserve nature’s authenticity and reflect deep cultural thinking, embodying the elegance of Eastern aesthetics (美学). 【答案】56. Unlike 57. to reveal 58. a 59. judgement##judgment 60. presented 61. ourselves 62. creating 63. where 64. be rushed 65. broader 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是中国根雕艺术家陈兴及其创作理念。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：与其他艺术形式不同，其他艺术是在原有材料的基础上进行添加，而根雕则是遵循木材的自然形态，去除多余的部分，以展现其内在的美。由下文“other arts where materials are added, root carving follows the natural form of the wood and removes the unnecessary”可知，根雕不像其他艺术形式，空格处意为“不像”，是unlike，位于句首，首字母大写。 【57题详解】 考查不定式。句意：与其他艺术形式不同，其他艺术是在原有材料的基础上进行添加，而根雕则是遵循木材的自然形态，去除多余的部分，以展现其内在的美。根据语境可知，此处表示“去除多余的部分，以展现其内在的美”，空格处用不定式表目的。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“自然已经将某样东西塑造得完美无缺，就无需再进行人为干预，”著名根雕艺术家陈兴坚持这样认为。artist是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，空格处用不定冠词，renowned是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：其中，塑形是最具挑战性的环节，需要敏锐的判断力和丰富的经验。keen是形容词，修饰名词，judge的名词是judgement或judgment，意为“判断力”，是不可数名词。 【60题详解】 考查时态、被动语态和主谓一致。句意：陈首先会研究根的纹理和生长模式，以确定最佳的方向和主题，然后在面对新的根材时才会开始着手创作。when引导的时间状语从句表示“当他面对新的根材时”，即when he is presented with a new root，省略he is，因此空格处是presented。 【61题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：陈说：“根的生长不受人类控制；我们必须适应木材的特性。”主语和宾语都是we，因此用反身代词ourselves作宾语。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：根雕的真正创意不在于改变自然形态，而在于弥补其不完美之处，创造出艺术与自然的和谐融合。句中谓语是lies，空格处用非谓语动词，此处用现在分词作状语，表结果。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他将根雕带入当地学校，开设理论课程，并向学生开放自己的工作室。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词schools是地方，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句。 【64题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：“根雕需要耐心，不能急于求成，”他说。it和rush之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用被动语态，空前有情态动词can’t，因此空格处是be rushed。 【65题详解】 考查比较级。句意：如今，陈兴的作品凭借吉尼斯世界纪录获得了更广泛的认可，为中国根雕搭建了更广阔的展示舞台。由前面的gained wider recognition，空格处用比较级broader，意为“更广阔的”。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是校英文广播站新开设的播客节目“LiveWell”的主播李华。本期节目主题为“Five-Minute Daily Habits to Boost Your Overall Well-being”。请你为此撰写播客文稿。内容包括：1．推荐微习惯；2．推荐理由。 注意：词数80左右；节目开头已提供，不计入总词数。 Hi everyone!

Kids at my school called it the Spook House (鬼屋), which might be funny except this house was where I lived with my mom and little brother, Andy. The house wasn’t haunted, but the outside might make you think twice about entering. Peeling paint revealed black images underneath. Shaking red shutters hung on by a few rusty nails. And weeds and long grass wrapped the house in neglect. Mom cleaned every room and painted the inside with Coastal Colors. I must admit that they indeed made a difference. “Can I paint the outside?” I asked her eagerly. “I don’t want you up on a ladder. I’ll ask Mr. Dudley to paint it.” Mom always replied. Our landlord, Mr. Dudley, agreed, but month after month, he muttered excuses. But Mom didn’t seem concerned. One morning I told Mom that I was joining a history study group at Justine’s house after school and would be late getting home. Justine’s house was big and beautiful with columns. Inside there was elegant furniture, pillows and lamps. “I love your house, Justine,” I said, trying not to cry. “Thanks. You’ll have to come over again.” I was delighted and surprised that Justine wanted me to come back. When the sun was near setting, we wrapped up our questions about World War II. Justine’s mom offered to drive the three of us home, I, Juan, and David. I was torn between refusal and acceptance, afraid to let others know I lived in what they called the Spook House. But Justine’s mom insisted. In the car she asked me where I lived and I guided her to the apartment building where I used to live instead, hoping she and the two boys wouldn’t know I moved. “Thanks a lot for the ride,” I said, getting out. I opened the front door of the building and stepping into the hallway. I waited until I no longer saw the car’s taillights and then walked to the Spook House. 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。 A week passed, and my secret seemed safe. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Saturday, the three of them carried with them paint and brushes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A week passed, and my secret seemed safe. I began to relax, convincing myself that Justine and the others had forgotten about that evening. But deep down, a tiny voice whispered that true friends wouldn’t just disappear. During lunch, I noticed them huddled together, glancing my way with mysterious smiles. My heart raced with both fear and curiosity. What were they planning? I wanted to ask but was too afraid of exposing the truth. So I waited, anxiety building like storm clouds on the horizon, completely unaware of the surprise they were preparing for me. On Saturday, the three of them carried with them paint and brushes. They arrived at my doorstep without warning, their arms loaded with supplies and faces bright with determination. “We’re here to fix your house,” Justine announced simply, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. All afternoon we worked together — scraping, painting, laughing until our sides ached. By sunset, the old Spook House glowed with fresh yellow paint, but something inside me glowed even brighter. I learned that day that it was my good friends that transformed the peeling paint of the “spook house” into the bright colors of home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家住在镇上被同学们称作“鬼屋”的老旧白房子里，房屋外墙破败但屋内经母亲打理后整洁温馨，作者想粉刷外墙却被母亲婉拒，房东也迟迟未动工。一次放学后，作者在家境优渥的好友贾斯汀家参加历史小组活动，十分羡慕对方漂亮的住宅。贾斯汀的妈妈执意顺路送作者回家，因害怕同伴发现自己住在“鬼屋”，作者谎称住址在从前居住的公寓楼，等车子离开后才独自返回自家破旧的房子。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周过去了，我的秘密似乎终于安全了。”可知，第一段可描写作者撒谎后一周内，从自以为安全到逐渐焦虑不安的心理变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“周六，他们三人带着颜料和画笔来到了我家门口。”可知，第二段可描写朋友们主动带着油漆和刷子来到作者家，一起把“鬼屋”刷成了亮黄色的经过。 2.续写线索：自我欺骗——朋友们聚在一起——焦虑地等待——朋友们出现——一起干活——房子变了——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①聚集：huddle together/cluster together ②修缮：fix/renovate 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/dread ②焦虑：anxiety/apprehension 【点睛】[高分句型1] I began to relax, convincing myself that Justine and the others had forgotten about that evening.

Nations from around the world have reached an agreement to protect oceans. We need to do more to protect sea life. That's meaningful. I was discouraged by what many countries had done before. They didn't think IT was important. absolutely. The united nations has been trying to come to an agreement for nearly a decade. Why did you take so long? Some countries have disagreements over fishing rights. However, they have now established limits on fishing and shipping areas. This helps reach the global goal of protecting at least thirty percent of the options by two thousand thirty. We should go and let our geography teacher know about this. Perhaps we can organize a project to raise awareness about ocean conservation. Did you hear the good news? Nations from around the world have reached an agreement to protect oceans.

Now you can apply their national park expertise to your own backyard! Top Winter Gardening & Planting Tips for the San Francisco Bay Area ● Resist working in the garden on a rainy day — air pockets are a very important part of the recipe for healthy soil and plants, and working in your garden when it’s very wet will firm your soil. ● Double check your seedling identification during weeding! Desired plants can look similar to invasive weeds during their seedling stage. ● Keep fallen leaves on the ground. They provide important shelter for butterflies and moths in the winter, and keep the soil covered and protected through the season. ● See if there’s a way to install a rainwater catchment into your garden. ● Make notes now of how your garden did this year — what plants did well, what struggled, what you’d like to try for next year. Recommended California Native Plants Plant native wildflowers and perennials (多年生植物); they’re perfectly adapted to our local climate and support our native ecosystems. If you plant them with the winter rains, they’ll be strong and need minimal care throughout the rest of the year. Some of our favorite native plants for the garden include: Clarkia “Farewell to Spring,” Baby Blue Eyes, Globe Gilia, Ceanothus “Yankee Point,” Coyote Mint, California Fuchsia, Yarrow, Heuchera maxima, Douglas Iris, and of course California Poppy. Get Involved Ready to take your newfound skills to the parks? No matter the season, Black Point Historic Gardens needs extra hands and volunteering support, or you can become a guide on Alcatraz. Trowels up, in the parks and at home! 21. What can we learn from the winter gardening tips? A. Garden growth need not be recorded. B. Fallen leaves ought to be cleared away. C. Working in wet soil helps keep soil loose. D. Weed carefully to protect desired seedlings. 22. What is the advantage of planting California native plants? A. They demand less care in later growth. B. They fit in well with the local climate. C. They needn’t match local ecosystem. D. They grow much faster than other plants. 23. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A local gardening newsletter. B. A home decoration magazine. C. A national park research paper. D. A travel brochure of scenic spots. B When a player on the other team makes a terrible mistake, most fans feel happy. But not every sports fan. In an NFL playoff game last season, the Baltimore Ravens were playing against the Buffalo Bills. With less than two minutes left, the Ravens scored a touchdown, making the score 27-25. If they could score another two points, they would tie the game. The Ravens quarterback threw the ball to tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line. But on the snowy field, Andrews slipped and dropped the ball. The Ravens lost, and their season was over. Most fans would have celebrated, but some Bills fans felt sympathy instead. They knew that Andrews has type 1 diabetes, a disease that requires constant care — he checks his blood sugar 30 times a day and uses an insulin (胰岛素) pump. Two young Bills fans, Ryan Patota and Nicholas Howard, decided to do something different. Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000. “We just want to spread love,” Patota said. “You hate the other team. You want your team to win. But we want to bring both fan bases together and say this is more than a game.” Word spread quickly. Donations poured in from Bills fans, then Ravens fans, and even fans of other NFL teams. Soon they had raised more than $146,000 — far beyond their original goal. Two weeks after the game, Andrews shared his feelings online. “I’m absolutely upset by what happened,” he wrote. “But despite the negativity, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have donated to ‘Breakthrough T1D.’ Patota says he’s still a loyal Bills fan, but now, he adds, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Ravens.” What started as a painful mistake on the field turned into something beautiful — fans from rival teams coming together to support a cause greater than the game itself. 24. What happened to Andrew in an NFL playoff game last season? A. He scored a decisive touchdown. B. He got injured and left the field. C. He stumbled and missed a key pass. D. He passed the ball to his opponent. 25. Why did Patota and Howard start the fundraising? A. To raise money for diabetes research. B. To cover Andrews’ medical expenses. C. To celebrate their team’s playoff victory. D. To gain more followers on Instagram. 26. What can be inferred about Mark Andrews? A. He felt ashamed of his past performance. B. He was grateful for the support he received. C. He was disappointed with his teammates. D. He felt hopeful about his future career. 27. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-Changing Mistake B. From Competition to Generosity C. Lessons from a Playoff Loss D. Living with Type 1 Diabetes C A new research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out. “What we’ve learned is that the techniques actors use have a powerful effect on how children handle language and how they perceive themselves,” said Siri Lee of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The randomized control trial involved hundreds of year 5 pupils — aged nine and ten — at 45 primary schools that had not been “previously exposed to RSC teaching approach.” They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage. The results showed that the target group of pupils drew on a wider vocabulary, used words “classed as more complicated or rarer”, and wrote at greater length. They also “appear to be more comfortable writing in role. While control pupils imagine how they themselves would react to being shipwrecked, target children put themselves in the shoes of a literary character and express the character’s emotion”. The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.” Siri Lee said she had been most surprised by the “emotional literacy that was evident in the target children’s writing” and that they were “more resilient in their writing, more hopeful”. She added: “The emotional understanding was very evident and it is probably related to the rehearsal room process where you are used to trying to imagine your way through. They were comfortable in describing different emotional states and part of what you do in drama is put yourself in different shoes.” The study showed the importance of embedding arts in education, she said. But could the results be replicated with any old dramatist? Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”. 28. Why were the pupils divided into two groups? A. To illustrate the popularity of RSC. B. To prove the advantage of acting-out. C. To measure their writing speed. D. To see their understandings of a drama. 29. What did control pupils’ reliance on “deserted island conventions” show? A. Their preference for big words. B. Their casual style of writing. C. Their weakness in description. D. Their ignorance of small details. 30. What can be inferred about Shakespeare’s use of words? A. It overshadows that of other dramatists. B. It is overly challenging to students. C. It enriches children’s daily vocabulary. D. It is definitely scholarship-oriented. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting Out Shakespeare: A Stone, Two Birds B. Follow in Shakespeare’s Footsteps C. Shakespeare: Language Strugglers’ Cure-all D. Shakespeare: Easier Said Than Done D As basalt (玄武岩) naturally weathers, it captures CO2, converting it into bicarbonate ions (碳酸氢根离子) in the water, which cannot reenter the atmosphere. Grinding and spreading basalt on farmlands, an approach known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW), has recently gathered steam. But it also has caused polarized viewpoints in terms of trapping CO2 and boosting crop yields. While mining, crushing and transporting these rocks release CO2, those emissions pale in comparison to the amount of CO2 that the rock stores away more permanently. It could remove up to two billion metric tons of CO2 from the air every year were ERW to be scaled up globally, according to David Beerling, a biochemist at the University of Sheffield in England. As great as this would sound, compared with some costly and ecosystem-unfriendly ways, such as CO2-pulling machinery and iron spread across the sea floor to enhance the growth of algae that absorb CO2, some scientists just frown on this idea. Lethal Page had an unpromising result after he conducted an experiment in Malaysia where basalt dust was spread across parts of a palm oil plantation. The dark soil contains more decaying organic matter and more clay than the soil elsewhere. Those charged materials can cling on to the breakdown products of basalt, keeping them from changing CO2 into bicarbonate. “There is a delay in capturing carbon dioxide, which may take somewhere between 5 and 15 years,” Lethal says. Acidity is another complicating factor, according to a trial on tropical sugarcane fields in northeastern Australia. The soil there is acidic, so it can potentially consume the basalt before it has a chance to react with CO2. Initial results show that CO2 capture rates are extremely low. Paul Nelson, a soil scientist at James Cook University who helped lead the study, says it is impossible to fix the problem just by neutralizing acidic soil before adding basalt because in wet tropical areas the acidity extends many meters down, to the bedrock. “ERW is a potentially valuable opportunity to remove CO2, but the aforementioned factors definitely impact its effect, and if companies cut corners, like applying the wrong type of rock or spreading it too thinly, ERW could blow up on the launch pad,” Paul cautions. 32. What is an important feature of basalt? A. It tends to be enveloped by steam. B. It makes for high output of crops. C. It is a useful indicator for weather. D. It disarms a greenhouse gas for good. 33. Why did the Malaysian experiment fall short? A. The soil consumed basalt too slowly. B. Organic matter blocked carbon conversion. C. Clay particles sped up the weathering. D. Bicarbonate formed faster than expected. 34. What is Paul Nelson’s attitude to treating acidic soil before using basalt? A. Enthusiastic. B. Dismissive. C. Reserved. D. Unbiased. 35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. （P：paragraph) 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列文章，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。 Small Talk: More Than Just Chit-Chat People often complain about small talk, describing it as “painful” or “dishonest”. ___36___ However, this common opinion fails to recognize the true value of small talk in our daily interactions. As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. ___37___ According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship. Some argue that small talk is boring, but this often reflects poor communication skills rather than a flaw in the activity itself. Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. ___38___ This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. If they lean in and smile at a topic, you can explore it further; if they glance away or give short answers, politely shift to a new topic or invite them to share their own perspective. ___39___ During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. We reached this depth precisely because we started with accessible, low-pressure topics. Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. ___40___ In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. Without these simple, everyday exchanges, our social interactions would feel much more awkward and less satisfying. A. Its value, however, is often overlooked. B. It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person. C. They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics. D. Consider this real-life example from my own experience. E. Good small talk depends on more than just the words you say. F. Without proper skills, small talk can feel shallow and forced. G. It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列文章，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。 It is not flesh and blood, but heart that makes us fathers and sons. — Friedrich von Schiller I built my life on speed — fast boats, fast cars. Golf, slow, was everything I ____41____. Yet when my sons began playing, a deeper pull made me pick up a club. I wasn’t there for the game, but to ____42____ their world. The real change was my focus. I stopped seeing golf as a ____43____ and instead admired the view around the golf course. And a friend’s tip to play just 6 holes rather than 18 ____44____. Anyhow, it was to enjoy. This newfound ____45____ led me to Pops, my father-in-law. A man of few words and solid strength, he became my family after I lost my own. Sharing golf with him was my way of passing on a ____46____. One day, he chose a ____47____ course. My schedule was full, but I agreed. The place was ordinary, my game poor. ____48____, for one perfect moment, three deer stepped from the woods and held our gaze. The memory would later feel like a silent ____49____. When we reached the final hole, Pops ____50____ from the cart, then fell like a tree: heart failure. The sound of his head hitting the ground was a ____51____ I’ll never forget. Panic ____52____ me. It happened unbelievably fast. Lacking CPR training, My first-aid knowledge out of nowhere, an almost forgotten ____53____ flashed from a CNN news: chest compressions.

Kids at my school called it the Spook House (鬼屋), which might be funny except this house was where I lived with my mom and little brother, Andy. The house wasn’t haunted, but the outside might make you think twice about entering. Peeling paint revealed black images underneath. Shaking red shutters hung on by a few rusty nails. And weeds and long grass wrapped the house in neglect. Mom cleaned every room and painted the inside with Coastal Colors. I must admit that they indeed made a difference. “Can I paint the outside?” I asked her eagerly. “I don’t want you up on a ladder. I’ll ask Mr. Dudley to paint it.” Mom always replied. Our landlord, Mr. Dudley, agreed, but month after month, he muttered excuses. But Mom didn’t seem concerned. One morning I told Mom that I was joining a history study group at Justine’s house after school and would be late getting home. Justine’s house was big and beautiful with columns. Inside there was elegant furniture, pillows and lamps. “I love your house, Justine,” I said, trying not to cry. “Thanks. You’ll have to come over again.” I was delighted and surprised that Justine wanted me to come back. When the sun was near setting, we wrapped up our questions about World War II. Justine’s mom offered to drive the three of us home, I, Juan, and David. I was torn between refusal and acceptance, afraid to let others know I lived in what they called the Spook House. But Justine’s mom insisted. In the car she asked me where I lived and I guided her to the apartment building where I used to live instead, hoping she and the two boys wouldn’t know I moved. “Thanks a lot for the ride,” I said, getting out. I opened the front door of the building and stepping into the hallway. I waited until I no longer saw the car’s taillights and then walked to the Spook House. 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。 A week passed, and my secret seemed safe. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Saturday, the three of them carried with them paint and brushes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
