Our guide looks at the best beaches to visit in the UK in the winter months. Cuckmere Haven, East Sussex If you’re visiting Brighton or Eastbourne, a winter walk along Cuckmere Haven beach and through Seven Sisters Country Park is a must. Here, brisk sea breezes refresh your mind and amazing beach and ocean provide the perfect setting for an open-air yoga session. Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire Robin Hood’s Bay is a hidden bit of history, with its raw cliffs, red-roofed cottages and unusual architecture. The beach itself is one of the UK’s best spots for fossil-hunting. Perfect to visit in the winter, you can enjoy a walk along the cliffs or beach to take in the historical village. Embleton Bay, Northumberland A beautiful long stretch of beach overlooked by the impressive ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, Embleton Bay is a perfect winter beach. On a clear cold morning the ruins can be seen perfectly from the beach and beach itself backs onto dunes (沙丘), famous for flowers, grasses and birds. Charmouth, Dorset There are few family pleasures as simple or as satisfying as finding fossils on the beach. It’s an outdoor experience perfect for children of all ages. There’s no better place to indulge a passion for fossils than the Jurassic coastline of Dorset and Devon. Now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s made up of 95 miles and 185 million years of prehistoric life. 1. Which beach best suits people who pursue a mind and body practice? A. Cuckmere Haven. B. Robin Hood’s Bay. C. Embleton Bay. D. Charmouth. 2. What do the Robin Hood’s Bay and Charmouth have in common? A. They have beautiful cliffs. B. They have historical villages. C. They are good fossil-hunting spots. D. They are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A biography. B. A travel brochure. C. An academic article. D. An exhibition guide. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了英国四个适合在冬季游览的海滩。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Cuckmere Haven, East Sussex”下的“Here, brisk sea breezes refresh your mind and amazing beach and ocean provide the perfect setting for an open-air yoga session.(在这里，清新的海风让你神清气爽，令人惊叹的海滩和海洋为户外瑜伽提供了完美的环境)”可知，Cuckmere Haven最适合那些追求身心锻炼的人。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire”下的“The beach itself is one of the UK’s best spots for fossil-hunting.(这片海滩本身就是英国寻找化石的最佳地点之一)”以及“Charmouth, Dorset”下的“There are few family pleasures as simple or as satisfying as finding fossils on the beach. It’s an outdoor experience perfect for children of all ages. There’s no better place to indulge a passion for fossils than the Jurassic coastline of Dorset and Devon.(很少有比在海滩上发现化石更简单、更令人满意的家庭乐趣了。这是一个适合所有年龄段的孩子的户外体验。没有比 Dorset和 Devon的侏罗纪海岸更适合放纵对化石的热情的地方了)”可知，Robin Hood’s Bay和Charmouth的共同之处是它们都是寻找化石的好地方。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Our guide looks at the best beaches to visit in the UK in the winter months.(我们的旅游指南盘点了英国最适合在冬季游览的海滩)”以及通读全文可知，本文介绍了英国四片适合在冬季游览的海滩。由此可推知，文章可能选自一本旅游指南。故选B项。 B I’m from an Irish family with seven children. Apart from family, music is probably the single thing that has defined my life, and I’ve just begun to realize how interconnected the two have always been. Mum and Dad were poor Irish farmers who came to Liverpool in the 1950s and music was never a big thing in our house. The first artist I really liked was Elton John, and I remember when I was 11, my sister Trish bunked off school one morning to queue up to get us two tickets to see Elton at the Liverpool Empire. That was my first concert, in about 1975, and I’ve been a live music fan ever since. To make sure I could see everything, Trish got me to stand on my seat while she made sure I didn’t fall off! That afternoon we also managed to get Elton’s signature. When punk (朋克) music arrived, my life changed forever. I was 15 and this new music and movement took over my life. The record that forever sums up that period for me is Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart by Patrik Fitzgerald — I heard it first on the John Peel radio show. When Saturday came, I went into town with my mates and brought the record back to play it about 20 times in a row on our little mono record player. I’m not sure how my family let me get away with inflicting (强加) this terrible noise on them, but they did. Looking back, I think it was because they knew I was so passionate about it. When I got my hair cut into a punk style, Mum, Dad and my sisters were remarkably OK about it. Some other punk kids got given a hard time by their parents, but my family were different. They didn’t just tolerate my addiction and my strange-looking mates, but they also welcomed the whole package with open arms and only the occasional collective shake of the head. If they hadn't been so understanding, I would guess my life would have been very different. 4. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “bunked off” in Paragraph 2? A. Delayed. B. Dropped out of. C. Skipped. D. Broke away from. 5. Why is “Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart” mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the category of music. B. To show respect for Patrik Fitzgerald. C. To indicate the influence of punk music. D. To convey the eagerness for the John Peel radio show. 6. What was the family members’ attitude towards the author’s love of punk? A. Negative. B. Tolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Worried. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. My Admiration for Elton John B. My First Concert with My Sister C. The Influence of Music on My Family D. The Connection between Music and My Life 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐与作者生活的紧密联系及影响。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第二段中“The first artist I really liked was Elton John, and I remember when I was 11, my sister Trish bunked off school one morning to queue up to get us two tickets to see Elton at the Liverpool Empire.(我真正喜欢的第一位艺术家是埃尔顿·约翰，我记得我11岁的时候，我姐姐翠西一天早上bunked off学校，排队给我们买了两张去利物浦帝国剧院看埃尔顿的票)”可知，姐姐翠西为了给作者弄到两张去利物浦帝国剧院看埃尔顿的票，在早上逃了学去排队。所以bunked off的意思为“逃学”，和Skipped意思相近。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When punk (朋克) music arrived, my life changed forever. I was 15 and this new music and movement took over my life. The record that forever sums up that period for me is Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart by Patrik Fitzgerald — I heard it first on the John Peel radio show.(当朋克音乐出现时，我的生活从此彻底改变。那时我15岁，这种全新的音乐形式和运动完全占据了我的生活。对我来说，能永远概括那段时期的唱片就是帕特里克·菲茨杰拉德的《Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart》——我是在约翰·皮尔的电台节目中第一次听到这首歌的)”可推知，提到《Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart》是为了表明朋克音乐对作者的影响。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When I got my hair cut into a punk style, Mum, Dad and my sisters were remarkably OK about it.(当我把头发剪成朋克风格时，妈妈、爸爸和姐姐们对此表现得相当接纳)”以及最后一段中“They didn’t just tolerate my addiction and my strange-looking mates, but they also welcomed the whole package with open arms and only the occasional collective shake of the head.(他们不仅容忍了我对朋克音乐的痴迷以及我那群外表怪异的朋友，还热情地接纳了这一切，只是偶尔会集体摇头表示无奈)”可推知，作者的家人对作者热爱朋克音乐持宽容的态度。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Apart from family, music is probably the single thing that has defined my life, and I’ve just begun to realize how interconnected the two have always been.(除了家庭，音乐可能是定义我人生的唯一事物，我才开始意识到这两者之间一直有着多么紧密的联系)”以及后文围绕家庭和音乐的联系展开可知，本文讲述了音乐在家庭影响下的经历。因此“音乐和我生活的联系”是最佳标题。故选D。 C When we discuss our warming planet, we, however, overlook the impact of warming temperatures on our oceans. A new study published by researchers from the University of Exeter explores the link between warming temperatures and their impacts on the ocean’s twilight zone (暮光带). The twilight zone is a region of the ocean that lies between the upper ocean and the deep ocean and is located around 200 to 1,000 meters under the surface. In the upper ocean, tiny plant-like organisms (生物) called phytoplankton turn carbon (碳) from the atmosphere into organic matter. This formation of organic matter, along with other waste matter, produces a shower of organic material. It helps start the ocean’s huge food web as organic matter and other carbon-based products go down from the surface and move through the depths of the ocean. This process by which heat-trapping carbon is stored in deep waters instead of going into the atmosphere is an essential set of processes that control the Earth’s climate system. The ocean’s twilight zone is also home to many creatures. Twilight zone animals consume matter near the upper ocean during the night and return to the deeper waters during the day, directly moving carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean. In this way, the organisms in the twilight zone help. Sadly, the study suggests that up to 40% of twilight zone creatures could disappear by the end of the century. This is because rising temperatures increase the rate at which organic matter is eaten and disappears. As a result, less carbon goes down into the twilight zone and beyond for storage as organic matter. Given that organisms in the twilight zone are highly dependent on going down organic matter, this could put their complex food cycles in danger. However, the authors tell us that we have not yet reached the point that couldn’t be saved and that there is still time for us to act. Not only will this increase our ocean’s carbon cycling processes, but it will also protect beings in the deepest parts of our oceans. 8. What plays a big role in the beginning of ocean creatures’ food web? A. The wide variety of deep-sea creatures. B. Organisms’ activities on the ocean floor. C. The amount of waste matter on the surface. D. Carbon-based products dropping into the twilight zone. 9. How do twilight zone animals’ activities contribute to the Earth? A. By warming the twilight zone. B. By releasing heat-trapping carbon. C. By balancing the Earth’s temperature. D. By clearing waste matter out of the ocean. 10. What may be a result of rising temperatures on twilight zone creatures? A. Smaller living spaces. B. The break of their food chain. C. Better ability to adapt to climate. D. Increased food on the sea surface. 11. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting to protect our ocean B. The future of twilight zone creatures C. The disappearing ocean’s twilight zone creatures D. Unlocking the secrets of organic matter in the ocean 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。海洋暮光带中的生物对全球气候很重要，但随着全球变暖，那里的很多生物可能会死亡。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This formation of organic matter, along with other waste matter, produces a shower of organic material. It helps start the ocean’s huge food web as organic matter and other carbon-based products go down from the surface and move through the depths of the ocean.(这种有机物质的形成，连同其他废物，产生了大量的有机物质。当有机物质和其他碳基产品从海洋表面向下移动并穿过海洋深处时，它有助于启动海洋巨大的食物网)”可知，大量的含碳的有机物质的形成及下沉有助于启动海洋复杂的食物网。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This process by which heat-trapping carbon is stored in deep waters instead of going into the atmosphere is an essential set of processes that control the Earth’s climate system. The ocean’s twilight zone is also home to many creatures. Twilight zone animals consume matter near the upper ocean during the night and return to the deeper waters during the day, directly moving carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean. In this way, the organisms in the twilight zone help.(捕获热量的碳储存在深水中而不是进入大气的过程是控制地球气候系统的一套基本过程。海洋的暮光带也是许多生物的家园。暮光带的动物在夜间消耗上层海洋附近的物质，在白天返回较深的水域，直接将碳从海洋表面转移到深海。在这种情况下，处于暮光带的生物就能提供帮助)”可知，暮光带的生物能将碳转移到深海里，平衡全球气温。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This is because rising temperatures increase the rate at which organic matter is eaten and disappears. As a result, less carbon goes down into the twilight zone and beyond for storage as organic matter. Given that organisms in the twilight zone are highly dependent on going down organic matter, this could put their complex food cycles in danger.(这是因为不断上升的温度加快了有机物被吃掉和消失的速度。其结果是，更少的碳进入暮光带，并以有机物质的形式储存。考虑到生活在过渡带的生物高度依赖于有机物，这可能会使它们复杂的食物循环处于危险之中)”可推知，气温上升可能会导致越来越少的含碳有机物下沉到深海，进一步导致海洋食物链受到影响。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When we discuss our warming planet, we, however, overlook the impact of warming temperatures on our oceans. A new study published by researchers from the University of Exeter explores the link between warming temperatures and their impacts on the ocean’s twilight zone (暮光带).(然而，当我们讨论地球变暖时，我们忽略了温度变暖对海洋的影响。埃克塞特大学的研究人员发表了一项新研究，探讨了气温升高及其对海洋暮光带的影响之间的联系)”以及本文主要讨论了气温上升会导致海洋暮光地带的生物减少，进而影响海洋的生态系统可知，C选项“正在消失的海洋暮光带”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D We’ve all experienced the sudden urge to check our phone, and a new study from Duke University might explain why. The research suggests that this isn’t just a bad habit, but rather that our smartphones might be reshaping our brain’s reward system, making us seek information in a way similar to how we seek food or money. The study involved people playing a simple game where they had to choose between different symbols that offered certain chances of receiving a reward. The rewards were either money, the opportunity to learn a random piece of information (like a fun fact), or nothing. Meanwhile, the participants’ brain activity was monitored using FMRI scans. The results were striking. The researchers found that the brain’s dopamine-rich reward centers, particularly the vmPFC (前额叶皮层), became active when participants were expecting both monetary rewards and informational rewards. This suggests that our brains process the opportunity to gain new information as a valuable reward itself. The desire for information followed a classic “law of demand” — the more expensive (in terms of effort or cost) it was to get information, the less people sought it, just like any other product. “This finding helps explain the ‘checking’ behavior we see with smartphones,” said the study’s lead author. “Each time we slide down to refresh our news feed or check updates, we are essentially seeking a small piece of new information. Our brain perceives this information as having potential value, releasing dopamine (多巴胺) that makes the action feel rewarding, even if the information itself is unimportant.” The researchers believe this insight is crucial for understanding modern behaviors. It indicates that the appeal of digital platforms is not merely about social connection but taps into a fundamental biological mechanism. However, they also warn that this cycle, if left unchecked, could contribute to problematic internet use, as the brain gets caught in a continuous circle of seeking minor informational rewards. 12. How does the author introduce his topic? A. By presenting a personal experience. B. By describing a common daily behavior. C. By quoting a famous philosopher’s saying. D. By comparing ancient and modern human behaviors. 13. The author mentions the “FMRI scans” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________. A. emphasize the high cost of the scientific research B. describe the physical experience of the participants C. provide objective evidence for the study’s conclusions D. explain the complex technology used in modern psychology 14. What does the “law of demand” in Paragraph 3 indicate ? A. The harder it is to get information, the less people want it. B. People always want more information regardless of the cost. C. The value of information decreases as it becomes easier to get. D. Information is the most valuable product in the modern world. 15. What is the potential risk of the brain’s reward system for information? A. It could slow down our thinking process. B. It might end up with too much screen time. C. It can damage our brain’s fundamental structure. D. It will prevent us from learning essential knowledge. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，短文通过杜克大学的一项新研究，解释了人们频繁查看手机的行为原因，揭示智能手机对大脑奖励系统的影响及潜在风险。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We’ve all experienced the sudden urge to check our phone, and a new study from Duke University might explain why.(我们都有过突然想查看手机的冲动，杜克大学的一项新研究或许能解释原因。)”可知，作者通过描述“频繁查看手机”这一常见日常行为引入主题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Meanwhile, the participants’brain activity was monitored using FMRI scans.(同时，研究人员通过功能磁共振成像扫描监测参与者的大脑活动。)”及第三段“The results were striking. The researchers found that the brain’s dopamine-rich reward centers, particularly the vmPFC (前额叶皮层), became active when participants were expecting both monetary rewards and informational rewards. This suggests that our brains process the opportunity to gain new information as a valuable reward itself.(研究结果令人震惊。研究人员发现，当参与者期待金钱奖励和信息奖励时，大脑中富含多巴胺的奖励中枢 —— 尤其是腹内侧前额叶皮层（vmPFC）会变得活跃。这表明，我们的大脑会将获取新信息的机会本身视为一种有价值的奖励来处理)”可知，提及FMRI扫描是为了给研究结论提供客观的科学依据。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The desire for information followed a classic “law of demand” — the more expensive (in terms of effort or cost) it was to get information, the less people sought it, just like any other product.(对信息的渴望遵循经典的“需求定律”——获取信息的成本越高（无论是精力还是代价），人们寻求信息的意愿就越低，就像其他任何产品一样。)”可知，需求定律表明获取信息越困难，人们对其渴望度越低。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, they also warn that this cycle, if left unchecked, could contribute to problematic internet use, as the brain gets caught in a continuous circle of seeking minor informational rewards.(然而，他们也警告说，如果不加控制，这种循环可能会导致有问题的互联网使用，因为大脑会陷入持续寻求微小信息奖励的循环中。)”可知，大脑对信息奖励系统的依赖可能导致人们过度使用电子设备，屏幕使用时间过长。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understanding articles on cutting-edge technology, such as artificial intelligence or quantum (量子) computing, demands targeted strategies as follows that go far beyondgeneral reading comprehension skills. ● Preview to Identify Structure Before focusing on a close reading, invest time in previewing the entire article.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 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。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly. To cover the cost of cat food and shelter materials, we decided to raise a small fund by asking willing residents to donate a little money each month. Many neighbors showed support, and some even signed up to be volunteers immediately. We divided the responsibilities clearly, ensuring every task was taken care of. After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. The shelter provided a safe home for the cats, and volunteers fed them on time without leaving any leftover food. The cooperation between animal lovers and other residents eliminated the conflict completely. No more flies gathered around the gate, and the cats no longer wandered into yards randomly. Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved. It turned out that every problem could be solved with kindness and joint efforts. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名喜爱动物的高中生，长期喂养小区里的流浪猫，后来越来越多邻居参与投喂，导致环境变差、邻里矛盾激化，大家对流浪猫的态度两极分化。在小区管理员的启发下，作者决定提出一个兼顾流浪猫和邻居利益的解决方案，希望化解冲突、救助流浪猫。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“李女士称赞了我的计划，并同意帮我付诸实践。”可知，第一段可描写实践的具体内容以及邻居们的支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过两周的共同努力，社区焕然一新。”可知，第二段可描写小窝为社区生活带来的变化以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：开会阐述想法——邻居表示支持——小窝带来积极影响——作者感到自豪——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②捐赠：donate/give away ③展示：show/display ④照顾：take care of/attend to 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②对……感到自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved.（运用了现在分词短语Seeing…作状语，what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 试题满分：150分 本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。考试结束，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生在答题卡上务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将自己的姓名，准考证号填写清楚，并贴好条形码。请认真核准条形码上的准考证号、姓名。 2．每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号，在试题卷上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Our guide looks at the best beaches to visit in the UK in the winter months. Cuckmere Haven, East Sussex If you’re visiting Brighton or Eastbourne, a winter walk along Cuckmere Haven beach and through Seven Sisters Country Park is a must. Here, brisk sea breezes refresh your mind and amazing beach and ocean provide the perfect setting for an open-air yoga session. Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire Robin Hood’s Bay is a hidden bit of history, with its raw cliffs, red-roofed cottages and unusual architecture. The beach itself is one of the UK’s best spots for fossil-hunting. Perfect to visit in the winter, you can enjoy a walk along the cliffs or beach to take in the historical village. Embleton Bay, Northumberland A beautiful long stretch of beach overlooked by the impressive ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, Embleton Bay is a perfect winter beach. On a clear cold morning the ruins can be seen perfectly from the beach and beach itself backs onto dunes (沙丘), famous for flowers, grasses and birds. Charmouth, Dorset There are few family pleasures as simple or as satisfying as finding fossils on the beach. It’s an outdoor experience perfect for children of all ages. There’s no better place to indulge a passion for fossils than the Jurassic coastline of Dorset and Devon. Now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s made up of 95 miles and 185 million years of prehistoric life. 1. Which beach best suits people who pursue a mind and body practice? A.

An exhibition guide. B I’m from an Irish family with seven children. Apart from family, music is probably the single thing that has defined my life, and I’ve just begun to realize how interconnected the two have always been. Mum and Dad were poor Irish farmers who came to Liverpool in the 1950s and music was never a big thing in our house. The first artist I really liked was Elton John, and I remember when I was 11, my sister Trish bunked off school one morning to queue up to get us two tickets to see Elton at the Liverpool Empire. That was my first concert, in about 1975, and I’ve been a live music fan ever since. To make sure I could see everything, Trish got me to stand on my seat while she made sure I didn’t fall off! That afternoon we also managed to get Elton’s signature. When punk (朋克) music arrived, my life changed forever. I was 15 and this new music and movement took over my life. The record that forever sums up that period for me is Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart by Patrik Fitzgerald — I heard it first on the John Peel radio show. When Saturday came, I went into town with my mates and brought the record back to play it about 20 times in a row on our little mono record player. I’m not sure how my family let me get away with inflicting (强加) this terrible noise on them, but they did. Looking back, I think it was because they knew I was so passionate about it. When I got my hair cut into a punk style, Mum, Dad and my sisters were remarkably OK about it. Some other punk kids got given a hard time by their parents, but my family were different. They didn’t just tolerate my addiction and my strange-looking mates, but they also welcomed the whole package with open arms and only the occasional collective shake of the head. If they hadn't been so understanding, I would guess my life would have been very different. 4. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “bunked off” in Paragraph 2? A. Delayed. B. Dropped out of. C. Skipped. D. Broke away from. 5. Why is “Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart” mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the category of music. B. To show respect for Patrik Fitzgerald. C. To indicate the influence of punk music. D. To convey the eagerness for the John Peel radio show. 6. What was the family members’ attitude towards the author’s love of punk? A. Negative. B. Tolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Worried. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. My Admiration for Elton John B. My First Concert with My Sister C. The Influence of Music on My Family D. The Connection between Music and My Life C When we discuss our warming planet, we, however, overlook the impact of warming temperatures on our oceans. A new study published by researchers from the University of Exeter explores the link between warming temperatures and their impacts on the ocean’s twilight zone (暮光带). The twilight zone is a region of the ocean that lies between the upper ocean and the deep ocean and is located around 200 to 1,000 meters under the surface. In the upper ocean, tiny plant-like organisms (生物) called phytoplankton turn carbon (碳) from the atmosphere into organic matter. This formation of organic matter, along with other waste matter, produces a shower of organic material. It helps start the ocean’s huge food web as organic matter and other carbon-based products go down from the surface and move through the depths of the ocean. This process by which heat-trapping carbon is stored in deep waters instead of going into the atmosphere is an essential set of processes that control the Earth’s climate system. The ocean’s twilight zone is also home to many creatures. Twilight zone animals consume matter near the upper ocean during the night and return to the deeper waters during the day, directly moving carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean. In this way, the organisms in the twilight zone help. Sadly, the study suggests that up to 40% of twilight zone creatures could disappear by the end of the century. This is because rising temperatures increase the rate at which organic matter is eaten and disappears. As a result, less carbon goes down into the twilight zone and beyond for storage as organic matter. Given that organisms in the twilight zone are highly dependent on going down organic matter, this could put their complex food cycles in danger. However, the authors tell us that we have not yet reached the point that couldn’t be saved and that there is still time for us to act. Not only will this increase our ocean’s carbon cycling processes, but it will also protect beings in the deepest parts of our oceans. 8. What plays a big role in the beginning of ocean creatures’ food web? A. The wide variety of deep-sea creatures. B. Organisms’ activities on the ocean floor. C. The amount of waste matter on the surface. D. Carbon-based products dropping into the twilight zone. 9. How do twilight zone animals’ activities contribute to the Earth? A. By warming the twilight zone. B. By releasing heat-trapping carbon. C. By balancing the Earth’s temperature. D. By clearing waste matter out of the ocean. 10. What may be a result of rising temperatures on twilight zone creatures? A. Smaller living spaces. B. The break of their food chain. C. Better ability to adapt to climate. D. Increased food on the sea surface. 11. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting to protect our ocean B. The future of twilight zone creatures C. The disappearing ocean’s twilight zone creatures D. Unlocking the secrets of organic matter in the ocean D We’ve all experienced the sudden urge to check our phone, and a new study from Duke University might explain why. The research suggests that this isn’t just a bad habit, but rather that our smartphones might be reshaping our brain’s reward system, making us seek information in a way similar to how we seek food or money. The study involved people playing a simple game where they had to choose between different symbols that offered certain chances of receiving a reward. The rewards were either money, the opportunity to learn a random piece of information (like a fun fact), or nothing. Meanwhile, the participants’ brain activity was monitored using FMRI scans. The results were striking. The researchers found that the brain’s dopamine-rich reward centers, particularly the vmPFC (前额叶皮层), became active when participants were expecting both monetary rewards and informational rewards. This suggests that our brains process the opportunity to gain new information as a valuable reward itself. The desire for information followed a classic “law of demand” — the more expensive (in terms of effort or cost) it was to get information, the less people sought it, just like any other product. “This finding helps explain the ‘checking’ behavior we see with smartphones,” said the study’s lead author. “Each time we slide down to refresh our news feed or check updates, we are essentially seeking a small piece of new information. Our brain perceives this information as having potential value, releasing dopamine (多巴胺) that makes the action feel rewarding, even if the information itself is unimportant.” The researchers believe this insight is crucial for understanding modern behaviors. It indicates that the appeal of digital platforms is not merely about social connection but taps into a fundamental biological mechanism. However, they also warn that this cycle, if left unchecked, could contribute to problematic internet use, as the brain gets caught in a continuous circle of seeking minor informational rewards. 12. How does the author introduce his topic? A. By presenting a personal experience. B. By describing a common daily behavior. C. By quoting a famous philosopher’s saying. D. By comparing ancient and modern human behaviors. 13. The author mentions the “FMRI scans” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________. A. emphasize the high cost of the scientific research B. describe the physical experience of the participants C. provide objective evidence for the study’s conclusions D. explain the complex technology used in modern psychology 14. What does the “law of demand” in Paragraph 3 indicate ? A. The harder it is to get information, the less people want it. B. People always want more information regardless of the cost. C. The value of information decreases as it becomes easier to get. D. Information is the most valuable product in the modern world. 15. What is the potential risk of the brain’s reward system for information? A. It could slow down our thinking process. B. It might end up with too much screen time. C. It can damage our brain’s fundamental structure. D. It will prevent us from learning essential knowledge. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understanding articles on cutting-edge technology, such as artificial intelligence or quantum (量子) computing, demands targeted strategies as follows that go far beyondgeneral reading comprehension skills. ● Preview to Identify Structure Before focusing on a close reading, invest time in previewing the entire article. Note all section headings and their logical order. This initial mapping is not merely passive viewing; it actively prepares your mind to follow the author’s logical framework, whether it presents a cause-effect chain, or a problem-solution model. ____16____ ● Question the Evidence and Data Merely understanding the surface claim of a technological breakthrough is far from sufficient for true comprehension. ____17____ You must develop a habit of checking the data sources, sample sizes, and the presence of control groups. This critical method, questioning how conclusions are reached, is what separates an informed reader from one who simply accepts information at face value, especially when findings seem revolutionary. ● ____18____ Beyond the stated facts and figures, a deeper layer of understanding involves analyzing the author’s perspective and intention. ____19____ Is the language overstating, cautiously optimistic, or objective? Identifying these tiny differences, including the choice of persuasive adjectives or the structure of argumentation, reveals the intended influence on the reader and provides crucial context for evaluating the information’s objectivity and potential bias. ● Integrate and Seek Connections Finally, to move from separate facts to integrated knowledge, actively connect this new information to your existing mental models. ____20____ Does this new discovery confirm, challenge, or entirely expand upon established principles? Engaging in this process, that is, asking how it fits into the broader scientific or technological landscape, transforms an individual data point into meaningful, long-lasting understanding and insight. A. Analyze how the writer starts. B. A doubting approach is essential. C. Explore the writer’s hidden information. D. This means relating it to known principles. E. Grasping the core argument precisely is the first goal. F. Telling fact reporting from persuading intention comes first. G. Understanding this outline is fundamental for further reading. 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。 Last summer, I sent my friend Fred a letter.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 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。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
