Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention. But dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 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 Healthy Eating Plate Use the Healthy Eating Plate as a guide for creating healthy, balanced meals-whether served at the table or packed in a lunch box. Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits. HEALTHY EATING PLATE Use healthy oils (like olive and canola oil) for cooking, on salad, and at the table. Limit butter. Avoid trans fat. Drink water, tea, or coffee (with little or no sugar). Limit milk/dairy (1-2 servings/day) and juice (1 small glass/day). Avoid sugary drinks. The more veggies - and the greater the variety - the better. Potatoes and French fries are excluded. Eat a variety of whole grains (like whole-wheat bread, whole-grain pasta, and brown rice). Limit refined grains (like white rice and white bread). Eat plenty of fruits of all colors. STAY ACTIVE! Choose fish, poultry, beans, and nuts; limit red meat and cheese; avoid bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats. These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating: • The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources — like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans — are healthier than others. • It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories — usually with little nutritional value — in the American diet. • It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Your Plate and the Planet Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and it places an enormous demand upon our earth’s natural resources. 21. Which food choice would be most likely questioned? A. Nuts added to a salad. B. Brown rice with beans. C. Steamed fish with vegetables. D. Bacon served with white bread. 22. What is the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate? A. To count calories first. B. To follow a low-fat diet. C. To cut carbohydrate intake. D. To focus on diet quality 23. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text? A. To explain how food policies are made. B. To highlight the changes in dietary views. C. To show that the Plate takes official advice. D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption. 【答案】21. D 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“健康饮食餐盘”的具体指南，包括各类食物的选择建议，以及其与传统饮食观念的不同和对环境的考量。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Limit refined grains (like white rice and white bread).(限制精制谷物(如白米和白面包))”以及“avoid bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats.(避免培根、冷切肉和其他加工肉类)”可知，培根属于要避免的加工肉类，白面包属于要限制的精制谷物，所以D项“培根配白面包”这个食物选择最可能受到质疑。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格下面内容“•The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources — like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans — are healthier than others.(•饮食中碳水化合物的种类比数量更重要，因为一些来源——如蔬菜(土豆除外)、水果、全谷物和豆类——比其他来源更健康)”以及对各类食物选择的具体建议可知，健康饮食餐盘的核心是关注饮食的质量，而非单纯的数量或热量等。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).(通过这种方式，健康饮食餐盘建议的与美国农业部(USDA)几十年来推广的低脂理念相反)”可知，提及美国农业部是为了突出健康饮食餐盘代表的饮食观念和传统低脂观念的不同，体现了饮食观念的变化。故选B项。 B Recently, on a snow-covered walk through Milham Park in Portage Lake, Michigan, a woman named Laura noticed something strange up ahead. There were two little black animals in the snow, shaking under a bush. Upon closer inspection, Laura realized that the birds were a pair of ducks. The animal lover immediately knew something was wrong — the birds didn’t look like wild ducks, and they seemed to be suffering in the freezing temperatures. Immediately, Laura contacted Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary (庇护所), who sent rescues to the scene. “Literally within 15 minutes, they were out the door and at the park, and they had the shaking ducks comfortable in a warm carrier,” Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary wrote in a post. Rescuers identified the birds as black Swedish ducks — medium-sized domestic ducks known for their black-and-white coloring. Their hearts broke for the birds, who had likely been abandoned. “There are no ducks that I know of that are that size and that color who are wild,” a representative from the rescue said. Unlike wild ducks, domestic ducks cannot fly, making it very difficult for them to survive without human care. These two probably wouldn’t have made it if Laura hadn’t stepped in. Both birds were “disorderly,” and one of them suffered from discharge around her eyes. Sanctuary team members quickly cleaned them up and settled them in a warm place. They spent weeks monitoring their food intake and health, making sure the birds were on the road to recovery. Today, these birds are feeling much better, enjoying life in their forever home. “They’re both doing very well,” Laura said in an interview. “They’re living happily with all their other duck friends at the sanctuary!” 24. Which word best describes Laura in paragraph 1? A. Observant. B. Optimistic. C. Cooperative. D. Confident. 25. What indicated the ducks were domestic rather than wild? A. Their relatively small size. B. Their distinct appearance. C. Their shaking in the cold. D. Their presence in the park. 26. What does the word “disorderly” in paragraph 3 describe about the ducks? A. Their physical state. B. Their eating habits. C. Their living environment. D. Their social behavior. 27. What made the rescue a success? A. The ducks’ domestic nature. B. The favorable weather conditions. C. Advanced rescue equipment. D. Individual awareness and expert action. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Laura在公园发现并救助两只被遗弃的家养黑瑞典鸭的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently, on a snow-covered walk through Milham Park in Portage Lake, Michigan, a woman named Laura noticed something strange up ahead. There were two little black animals in the snow, shaking under a bush.(最近，在密歇根州波蒂奇湖米尔汉姆公园被积雪覆盖的小径上散步时，一位名叫Laura的女士注意到前方有些异样。雪地里有两只黑色的小动物，正在灌木丛下瑟瑟发抖)”可知，Laura注意到了雪地里的异常情况，说明她是一个善于观察的人。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Rescuers identified the birds as black Swedish ducks — medium-sized domestic ducks known for their black-and-white coloring.(救援人员认出这些鸟是黑瑞典鸭，这是一种中等大小的家鸭，以其黑白相间的颜色而闻名)”以及““There are no ducks that I know of that are that size and that color who are wild,” a representative from the rescue said.(“据我所知，没有野鸭是那种大小和颜色的，”救援组织的一名代表说)”可知，这些鸭子独特的外观表明它们是家养的而不是野生的。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Both birds were “disorderly,” and one of them suffered from discharge around her eyes. Sanctuary team members quickly cleaned them up and settled them in a warm place.(两只鸟都disorderly，其中一只眼睛周围有分泌物。庇护所的工作人员迅速清理了它们，并把它们安置在一个温暖的地方)”可知，“disorderly”描述的是这两只鸭子的身体状态，需要清理和照顾。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，Laura首先发现了这两只被遗弃的鸭子，并及时联系了救援组织；而救援组织也迅速行动，将鸭子带到了温暖的地方进行照顾。因此，这次救援的成功得益于Laura的个人意识（发现并报告问题）和救援组织的专家行动（及时救援并照顾鸭子）。 C We live in a world where conversations about mental health are becoming more common. Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 28. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 29. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 30. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing.(因此，个人稳定的表达可能会被误解为冷漠或特权，使人们犹豫是否要分享他们的中性或积极的幸福感)”可知，人们担心说“我很好”会显示出缺乏关心。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中 “It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed.(它充当着一种情感bulwark，使人们能够在集体压力的浪潮中应对自如而不被压垮)”可知，bulwark在这里表示能抵御压力的“支撑，屏障，支持”，A. Measurement.测量；B. Barrier.屏障；C. Support.支持；D. Pressure.压力。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人)”可知，当你真正感觉良好时告诉朋友你很好，这样做最能说明“平静的安好”。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人。在充满挑战的时期，这种稳定是一种无声的力量。坦然承认自己的安稳时刻，能让人类全部情绪变得正常化，并为他人创造不带评判地接纳自身状态的空间。最终，这种真诚地分享安好，一次对话一次对话地积累，将有助于建设一个情绪更有韧性的社群)”可知，文章主要论述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性，故A选项“感觉良好的安静力量”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D When danger approaches, animals seem to follow the ancient proverb: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in cooperative defense. A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high-pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby. Cuckoos are brood parasites — they lay eggs in other birds’ nests, often pushing out the hosts’ own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks. According to co-lead author James Kennerley, this call works as the word for “cuckoo” and appears to be understood across species, offering clues about how language may have originated. Birds producing this alarm call often live in regions with high numbers of brood parasites that target multiple host species. Hearing the call, potential hosts react aggressively to drive the invaders away. To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents — to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own. “This indicates that sound helps communication between species, not only within one species,” explains Feeney. He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information. Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human. ” 32. How can animals of different species cooperate in defense? A. By communicating freely. B. By predicting danger in advance. C. By following the old routine. D. By making the same sound as signal. 33. Why do birds make “whining” calls to warn others of cuckoos? A. Because cuckoos are good at playing tricks. B. Because cuckoos steal eggs from hosts’ nests. C. Because cuckoos have a wide range of species. D. Because cuckoos make hosts care for their young. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Birds universally recognize alarm calls. B. Birds ignore recordings of alarm calls. C. Birds’ alarm calls function within species. D. Brood parasites target certain host species. 35. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 5? A. To show language is still evolving. B. To prove human language is unique. C. To link bird calls with language origin. D. To question the reliability of the study. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现动物在面临危险时会与其他物种合作防御，如鸟类会发出几乎相同的高音调“呜呜”叫声来警告附近有像杜鹃这样的敌人，不同地区的鸟类对这种警报声都有快速反应，这一现象还与语言起源相关。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high - pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby.(《自然·生态与进化》杂志上的一项研究报告称，四大洲的20多种鸟类会发出几乎相同的高音调“呜呜”叫声，以警告附近有像杜鹃这样的鸟类)”以及第四段“He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information.(他指出，虽然许多鸟类可能会对某些警报声做出反应，但那些生活在寄生鸟类丰富地区的鸟类已经调整了叫声，使其携带明确的威胁信息)”可知，不同物种的动物可以通过发出相同的声音作为信号来进行合作防御。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cuckoos are brood parasites— they lay eggs in other birds’nests, often pushing out the hosts’own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks.(杜鹃是巢寄生鸟类——它们在其他鸟类的巢中产卵，常常把宿主自己的蛋推出去，诱骗宿主鸟类养育它们的雏鸟)”可知，鸟类发出“呜呜”叫声警告杜鹃，是因为杜鹃会诱骗宿主鸟类照顾自己的幼鸟。故选D项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents— to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own.(为了进一步研究，威尔·费尼的团队向澳大利亚和中国的潜在宿主鸟类播放了这种最初来自其他大陆鸟类的警报叫声录音。他们发现，宿主对外国警报叫声的反应和对自己同类的警报叫声一样迅速)”可知，鸟类普遍能识别警报叫声。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human.”(早在1871年，查尔斯·达尔文就提出，口语可能是从对本能声音的模仿和修改演变而来的——例如，对疼痛的尖叫。费尼指出：“鸟类改变其固有叫声以用于新用途，这可能是语言发展的早期阶段，而这曾被认为是人类独有的”)”可知，作者提到达尔文是为了将鸟类叫声与语言起源联系起来。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How To Stop Bein g A People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy.

No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices.(记住，你不可能取悦所有人。无论你做什么，总会有人对你的选择不满意)”可知，E.

Raised in San Antonio neighborhood filled with Tejano rhythms, Eddie learned the instrument from his father and formed the band Las Estrellas (“The Stars”) with childhood friends: Luis on drums and Ruben on guitar. Each day, Eddie hurried to Luis’s house for practice, struggling with the heavy accordion case while worrying about Ruben. Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and loved playing with the band, Ruben hated practicing alone. He was always late, and his lack of solo (单独的) practice led to constant mistakes — a growing problem for the trio (三重奏). Their lives changed when Luis handed Eddie an envelope from the Tejano Festival: an invitation to perform in just two months. The boys celebrated wildly, but Eddie’s joy was mixed with anxiety, hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice. That night, Eddie shared the news with his family. His father, a former festival winner, presented a trophy (奖杯) with “First Place” written on it and encouraged him, “You belong there and will shine.” Eddie admitted his worry about Ruben, who was too talented and dear a friend to replace. His father advised, “Find out why he won’t practice alone and help him.” At their next practice, Ruben messed up the festival song at the very beginning. He claimed sore fingers from building a hut (简陋的小屋), but Luis accused him of skipping practice. Ruben got annoyed, and Eddie was angry. Following his father’s advice, Eddie asked Ruben why he didn’t play at home as he should. Ruben admitted, “My guitar sounds lonely alone, and I can’t focus.” Upon learning where Ruben’s problem lay, Eddie decided to take immediate action to make practice fun for Ruben. On the way to Luis’s, Eddie came up with a plan: practice together at Ruben’s house daily. Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben’s favorite pizza for a surprise. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally the big day came. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door. Ruben’s eyes widened in surprise when he opened the door, and his annoyance from the earlier argument melted away instantly. As they sat on the floor of his room, pizza boxes spread out, Eddie said, “We’re a band. We don’t practice alone — we practice together.” For the next two months, they showed up at Ruben’s house every afternoon. They laughed through mistakes, adjusted the song to highlight Ruben’s guitar skills, and turned practice into a joyful time. Ruben no longer felt lonely, and his playing became precise and full of passion. Finally the big day came. The three boys stepped onto the stage, Eddie’s accordion glinting under the lights. When the first note rang out, they played in perfect harmony, Ruben’s solo shining brighter than ever. The audience cheered wildly as the final note faded. They didn’t just win the first prize that day — they learned that the best music, like the truest friendship, is never played alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以家族手风琴和乐队的音乐节演出筹备为线索展开，讲述了埃迪、路易斯和鲁本三位少年组成的乐队为参加特哈诺音乐节筹备演出，鲁本因独自练习感到孤独频频出错，埃迪听从父亲建议找到问题根源，和路易斯陪伴鲁本一起练习，最终三人默契配合登上舞台并收获成功，领悟到友谊与团队协作真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“手里拿着披萨，埃迪和路易斯来到了鲁本家门口”可知，第一段可描写埃迪和路易斯带着披萨出现在鲁本家门口后，鲁本的反应，以及三人达成一起练习的约定，此后两个月经常相伴在鲁本家练习，鲁本的演奏状态逐渐改善的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，这个重要的日子到了”可知，第二段可描写音乐节演出当天，三人登上舞台的表现，鲁本的吉他独奏惊艳全场，乐队演奏默契和谐，最终收获观众欢呼和比赛奖项，以及三人从这次经历中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：收到音乐节邀请——担忧鲁本的练习问题——鲁本练习出错引争执——得知鲁本独自练习的困扰——三人约定相伴练习——收获成功与感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①调整：adjust/tweak ②踏上：step onto/set foot on ③欢呼：cheer/acclaim 情绪类 ①吃惊地：in surprise/in astonishment ②孤独的：lonely/lonesome 【点睛】【高分句型1】Ruben’s eyes widened in surprise when he opened the door, and his annoyance from the earlier argument melted away instantly.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】The audience cheered wildly as the final note faded.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2026届普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟预测 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits. HEALTHY EATING PLATE Use healthy oils (like olive and canola oil) for cooking, on salad, and at the table. Limit butter. Avoid trans fat. Drink water, tea, or coffee (with little or no sugar). Limit milk/dairy (1-2 servings/day) and juice (1 small glass/day). Avoid sugary drinks. The more veggies - and the greater the variety - the better. Potatoes and French fries are excluded. Eat a variety of whole grains (like whole-wheat bread, whole-grain pasta, and brown rice). Limit refined grains (like white rice and white bread). Eat plenty of fruits of all colors. STAY ACTIVE! Choose fish, poultry, beans, and nuts; limit red meat and cheese; avoid bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats. These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating: • The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources — like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans — are healthier than others. • It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories — usually with little nutritional value — in the American diet. • It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Your Plate and the Planet Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and it places an enormous demand upon our earth’s natural resources. 21. Which food choice would be most likely questioned? A. Nuts added to a salad. B. Brown rice with beans. C. Steamed fish with vegetables. D. Bacon served with white bread. 22. What is the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate? A. To count calories first. B. To follow a low-fat diet. C. To cut carbohydrate intake. D. To focus on diet quality 23. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text? A. To explain how food policies are made. B. To highlight the changes in dietary views. C. To show that the Plate takes official advice. D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption. B Recently, on a snow-covered walk through Milham Park in Portage Lake, Michigan, a woman named Laura noticed something strange up ahead. There were two little black animals in the snow, shaking under a bush. Upon closer inspection, Laura realized that the birds were a pair of ducks. The animal lover immediately knew something was wrong — the birds didn’t look like wild ducks, and they seemed to be suffering in the freezing temperatures. Immediately, Laura contacted Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary (庇护所), who sent rescues to the scene. “Literally within 15 minutes, they were out the door and at the park, and they had the shaking ducks comfortable in a warm carrier,” Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary wrote in a post. Rescuers identified the birds as black Swedish ducks — medium-sized domestic ducks known for their black-and-white coloring. Their hearts broke for the birds, who had likely been abandoned. “There are no ducks that I know of that are that size and that color who are wild,” a representative from the rescue said. Unlike wild ducks, domestic ducks cannot fly, making it very difficult for them to survive without human care. These two probably wouldn’t have made it if Laura hadn’t stepped in. Both birds were “disorderly,” and one of them suffered from discharge around her eyes. Sanctuary team members quickly cleaned them up and settled them in a warm place. They spent weeks monitoring their food intake and health, making sure the birds were on the road to recovery. Today, these birds are feeling much better, enjoying life in their forever home. “They’re both doing very well,” Laura said in an interview. “They’re living happily with all their other duck friends at the sanctuary!” 24. Which word best describes Laura in paragraph 1? A. Observant. B. Optimistic. C. Cooperative. D. Confident. 25. What indicated the ducks were domestic rather than wild? A. Their relatively small size.

Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 28. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 29. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 30. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison D When danger approaches, animals seem to follow the ancient proverb: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in cooperative defense. A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high-pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby. Cuckoos are brood parasites — they lay eggs in other birds’ nests, often pushing out the hosts’ own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks. According to co-lead author James Kennerley, this call works as the word for “cuckoo” and appears to be understood across species, offering clues about how language may have originated. Birds producing this alarm call often live in regions with high numbers of brood parasites that target multiple host species. Hearing the call, potential hosts react aggressively to drive the invaders away. To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents — to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own. “This indicates that sound helps communication between species, not only within one species,” explains Feeney. He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information. Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human. ” 32. How can animals of different species cooperate in defense? A. By communicating freely. B. By predicting danger in advance. C. By following the old routine. D. By making the same sound as signal. 33. Why do birds make “whining” calls to warn others of cuckoos? A. Because cuckoos are good at playing tricks. B. Because cuckoos steal eggs from hosts’ nests. C. Because cuckoos have a wide range of species. D. Because cuckoos make hosts care for their young. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Birds universally recognize alarm calls. B. Birds ignore recordings of alarm calls. C. Birds’ alarm calls function within species. D. Brood parasites target certain host species. 35. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 5? A. To show language is still evolving. B. To prove human language is unique. C. To link bird calls with language origin. D. To question the reliability of the study. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How To Stop Bein g A People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy.

Raised in San Antonio neighborhood filled with Tejano rhythms, Eddie learned the instrument from his father and formed the band Las Estrellas (“The Stars”) with childhood friends: Luis on drums and Ruben on guitar. Each day, Eddie hurried to Luis’s house for practice, struggling with the heavy accordion case while worrying about Ruben. Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and loved playing with the band, Ruben hated practicing alone. He was always late, and his lack of solo (单独的) practice led to constant mistakes — a growing problem for the trio (三重奏). Their lives changed when Luis handed Eddie an envelope from the Tejano Festival: an invitation to perform in just two months. The boys celebrated wildly, but Eddie’s joy was mixed with anxiety, hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice. That night, Eddie shared the news with his family. His father, a former festival winner, presented a trophy (奖杯) with “First Place” written on it and encouraged him, “You belong there and will shine.” Eddie admitted his worry about Ruben, who was too talented and dear a friend to replace. His father advised, “Find out why he won’t practice alone and help him.” At their next practice, Ruben messed up the festival song at the very beginning. He claimed sore fingers from building a hut (简陋的小屋), but Luis accused him of skipping practice. Ruben got annoyed, and Eddie was angry. Following his father’s advice, Eddie asked Ruben why he didn’t play at home as he should. Ruben admitted, “My guitar sounds lonely alone, and I can’t focus.” Upon learning where Ruben’s problem lay, Eddie decided to take immediate action to make practice fun for Ruben. On the way to Luis’s, Eddie came up with a plan: practice together at Ruben’s house daily. Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben’s favorite pizza for a surprise. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally the big day came. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Hello, everybody, thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting.
