For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking from within. Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. The deep, clear-sounding bell that now marks each hour in Seabrook is partly Leo’s creation. News of their successful work together spread. Many locals bring their hard-to-fix antique shelf clock for repair. Leo, once an outsider, gradually became a familiar face. Thaddeus often speaks proudly of Leo’s “steady hands and a steadier mind”. Leo plans to study engineering after graduation. “A clock isn’t just gears and time,” Thaddeus told him. “It’s a promise that every piece has its place. All we need is to observe and study calmly and steadily.” In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. 4. Which word best describes both Thaddeus and Leo? A. Dedicated. B. Moody. C. Easy-going. D. Flexible. 5. What can be inferred about Thaddeus from paragraph 2? A. He displayed strong devotion to clocks. B. He aimed to impress Leo more quickly. C. He intended to train Leo in clock making. D. He got inspiration from his prior experience. 6. What surprised Thaddeus about Leo’s skills in clock making? A. An old physics book. B. A solution to a bottleneck. C. Leo’s careful modesty. D. Leo’s challenge to authority. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Precision is key. B. Patience matters. C. Every detail counts. D. Teamwork is essential. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述转学生Leo结识老钟表匠Thaddeus，二人合作修钟表并彼此影响、收获成长的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In the morning, when mist still hangs over the old stone streets of the coastal town of Seabrook, Thaddeus Flint is already at work in his workshop. For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone.(清晨，当薄雾还笼罩着西布鲁克海滨小镇古老的石板街道时，Thaddeus Flint就已经在工坊里工作了。数十年来，这位因制作复杂手工钟表而出名的老钟表匠一直独自工作。)”以及第二段中的“Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears.(察觉到Leo异于常人的专注，Thaddeus给了他一项简单任务：分类螺丝。一周又一周，任务难度不断提升，Leo学会调试细小钟摆、摆放精密齿轮。)”可知，二人对待钟表制作都专心投入、认真执着，dedicated符合人物特点。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears.(看到Leo 对钟表感兴趣，寡言的Thaddeus只是递给男孩一个布满灰尘的小齿轮和一块干净的布。令他意外的是，第二天Leo 就把齿轮擦拭得光亮如新。察觉到Leo出众的专注力，Thaddeus安排他做分类螺丝的简单活计。一周又一周，任务难度逐步增加，Leo开始学习调试钟摆、安放精细齿轮。)”可知，Thaddeus循序渐进地布置任务，意在培养Leo学习钟表制作的技艺。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked.(真正的转折点是市政厅定制钟表的项目，这款钟表因为报时铃装置故障，困扰了Thaddeus数月。经过数周观察，Leo参考一本旧物理书的方法，提出重新设计弹簧张力结构。Thaddeus心存疑虑却也颇为赏识，同意让他尝试。令老人大为惊讶的是，这个办法奏效了。)”可知，Leo解决了困扰Thaddeus几个月的铃铛声音机制问题，这让Thaddeus感到惊讶。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time.(在这个常常节奏匆忙的世界里，他们这段看似意外的合作提醒着小镇，一些最美好的情谊都是慢慢建立起来的，如同钟表每一次沉稳的滴答声。)”可知，作者借这句话传递出耐心的重要性。 C At a time when American agriculture was as colorful as dirt, a food hunter for the USDA (美国农业部) named David Fairchild went in search of novel plants that could be of economic value to U.S. farmers. Driven by curiosity and fueled by optimism, he brought back many plants and fruits now taken for granted. In 1902 Fairchild first encountered sakura (樱花), the flowering cherry trees of Japan. Enchanted by their beauty, Fairchild wanted to bring the trees back home and ordered 125 sakura trees for his own front yard in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The nursery owner in Yokohama was so pleased to have an American customer that they charged Fairchild just 10 cents per tree. In the spring of 1906 Fairchild’s imported trees bloomed for the first time, and word of the pink blossoms brought so many onlookers to their home that Fairchild ordered 300 more as a gift to the city of Chevy Chase. Eliza Scidmore, National Geographic’s first official female writer, photographer, and board member, was also an advocate of the cherry blossoms in D.C. After spending time living and reporting from Japan, she returned to Washington with photographs of cherry blossom trees — “the most beautiful thing in the world” — and began petitioning President Grover Cleveland’s administration to plant them along the Tidal Basin. Years later, President Theodore Roosevelt spoke often about “beautifying” the country’s capital, then sloppy with mud from the lapping Potomac. Helen Taft, the first lady, believed the cherry blossoms were the answer. Her husband agreed. In addition to their beauty, President William Taft also sensed an opportunity to forge a diplomatic friendship with the Japanese. In the fall of 1909, the mayor of Tokyo sent 2,000 young trees to Washington. However, they arrived barely alive — their roots cut too short and teeming with insects. Fearful of foreign pests, USDA entomologists burned them in a great bonfire on the National Mall. Only when Japan sent a second, bigger shipment of 3,020 trees, all tall and mature, did the trees make it into the ground. It took only two springs for the trees to become universally adored by the American public, at least enough for the U.S. government to reciprocate and send Japan a gift in return. Officials decided to offer Japan a shipment of flowering dogwoods. 8. Who is the first to bring the cherry blossom to America? A. Eliza Scidmore. B. Yokohama. C. David Fairchild. D. Theodore Roosevelt. 9. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4? A. Order. B. Request. C. Allow. D. Protest. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. Cherry blossoms improve the relationship between the two countries. B. The Japanese prime minister sent cherry trees to Washington. C. Helen Taft once lived in Japan and took many photos of cherry blossoms. D. In the fall of 1909, the U.S. government sent Japan a gift in return. 11. Which is the best title of the text? A. How Cherry Blossoms Came to the United States. B. Cherry Blossoms Improve the American Agriculture. C. Cherry Blossoms Beautifies the American Capital. D. Why Cherry Blossoms Came to the United States. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了樱花是如何引进到美国的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In 1902 Fairchild first encountered sakura (樱花), the flowering cherry trees of Japan. Enchanted by their beauty, Fairchild wanted to bring the trees back home and ordered 125 sakura trees for his own front yard in Chevy Chase, Maryland.(在美国农业尚如泥土般质朴无华的时代，美国农业部（USDA）的植物猎手David Fairchild踏上了寻找具有经济价值新奇作物的征程。凭借好奇心与乐观精神，他带回了许多如今被视为理所当然的植物与水果。)”可知，Fairchild是第一个把樱花带到美国的人。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Eliza Scidmore, National Geographic’s first official female writer, photographer, and board member, was also an advocate of the cherry blossoms in D.C. After spending time living and reporting from Japan, she returned to Washington with photographs of cherry blossom trees — “the most beautiful thing in the world”(Eliza Scidmore作为《国家地理》首位正式女性撰稿人、摄影师兼董事会成员，同时也是华盛顿樱花树的积极倡导者。她在日本生活并进行新闻报道期间，拍摄了大量樱花树照片——这些被她誉为“世界上最美的事物”的影像，随后被她带回了华盛顿。)”可知，这位华盛顿特区樱花的忠实拥趸，曾在日本生活并进行报道，最终带着樱花树的照片回到华盛顿——她称樱花树是“世界上最美的事物”。所以她“请求”克利夫兰总统政府在潮汐盆地沿线种植这些植物，petitioning的意思是“请求”，和Request意思相近。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In addition to their beauty, President William Taft also sensed an opportunity to forge a diplomatic friendship with the Japanese.(除欣赏樱花之美外，威廉·塔夫脱总统还敏锐察觉到借此与日本缔结外交友谊的契机。)”可知，威廉·塔夫脱总统不仅欣赏它们的美貌，更意识到与日本人缔结外交友谊的良机。由此推知，樱花还可以增加与日本之间的友谊。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“In 1902 Fairchild first encountered sakura (樱花), the flowering cherry trees of Japan. Enchanted by their beauty, Fairchild wanted to bring the trees back home and ordered 125 sakura trees for his own front yard in Chevy Chase, Maryland.(1902 年，Fairchild首次见到了樱花——日本的开花樱花树。他被樱花的美丽所吸引，于是想要把这些树带回家，并为此订购了 125 棵樱花树，打算种在马里兰州切维切斯的自家前院里。)”可知，文章主要讲述了日本的樱花是怎样被引入到美国的，因此最好的题目是A选项“How Cherry Blossoms Came to the United States.(樱花如何来到美国的。)”。故选A。 D WE MAY have been missing signals from intelligent aliens (外星人) because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for the wrong type of signal, potentially failing to spot promising evidence of alien life, but the chances of a future discovery are now higher. The not-for-profit organisation carries out research to help prove the existence of alien life, which includes listening for radio signals from outer space that cannot be explained by natural cosmological phenomena. Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars. Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown at the SETI Institute calculated the scale of the effect on radio transmissions (传输) from spacecraft in our own solar system, and then extrapolated that to other stellar environments. They found that a 100-megahertz signal could be widened as much as 100 hertz — enough to “fall below traditional detection thresholds”. A space weather event can similarly increase the amount of broadening experienced by a signal to a significant degree. John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty: it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. “It’s over 50 years that we’ve been actively searching and that’s a blink of the eye, isn’t it, when you think about it,” says Elliott. 12. Why have researchers possibly failed to receive signals from intelligent aliens? A. The signals cannot reach the Earth. B. Their equipment was not advanced enough. C. The signals did not appear in the expected form. D. Space weather events prevented the signal traveling. 13. How is the alien signal affected by the stellar winds of stars? A. B. C. D. (Note: Plots show relative changes in signal width and strength, not absolute values.) 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How the new findings were reached. B. How spacecraft send radio signals. C. What affects radio signal transmission. D. What helped researchers make progress. 15. Which statement does John Elliott probably agree with? A. Much progress has been made so far. B. Future discoveries will be fruitful. C. Previous searches wasted a lot of time. D. Fifty years is too long for alien hunting. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了由于恒星风的影响，我们可能错过了来自智能外星人的信号，但未来发现的可能性更高。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars. (此前人们预期这种信号是在窄频段内尖锐、清晰的无线电信号。但新的研究表明，任何从遥远行星发出的此类信号，在穿过恒星的恒星风时，最终可能会在频段内变得更微弱、更宽——本质上会稍微模糊一些。)”可知，研究人员可能没有接收到来自智能外星人的信号，是因为信号没有以预期的形式出现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars. (但新的研究表明，任何从遥远行星发出的此类信号，在穿过恒星的恒星风时，最终可能会在频段内变得更微弱、更宽——本质上会稍微模糊一些。)”可知，外星信号受恒星风影响会变得更微弱、频段更宽且更模糊。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown at the SETI Institute calculated the scale of the effect on radio transmissions (传输) from spacecraft in our own solar system, and then extrapolated that to other stellar environments. They found that a 100-megahertz signal could be widened as much as 100 hertz — enough to “fall below traditional detection thresholds”. A space weather event can similarly increase the amount of broadening experienced by a signal to a significant degree. (SETI研究所的维沙尔·加贾尔 (Vishal Gajjar)和格雷斯·布朗 (Grayce Brown)计算了这种效应对我们太阳系中航天器无线电传输的影响规模，然后将其外推到其他恒星环境。他们发现，一个100兆赫的信号可能会变宽多达100赫兹——足以“低于传统检测阈值”。太空天气事件同样可以显著增加信号所经历的变宽程度。)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究人员是如何得出新发现的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty: it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. (英国圣安德鲁斯大学的约翰·埃利奥特(John Elliott)表示，他认为这个消息是半满的，而不是半空的：这意味着之前的搜索可能错过了证据，但也意味着未来的搜索更有可能成功。)”可知，约翰·埃利奥特认为未来的发现将会很有成果。 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。 From the time of the cavemen, we have always sought certainty. This desire for certainty is so strong that it can go unnoticed. ____16____ We never know what will happen, and many things are unknowable. This can make us feel stressed or worried, since the unknown is associated with danger. Most of us think of being uncertain as a weakness or even a flaw. Actually there are many benefits to allowing ourselves to be unsure about what’s happening or what will happen. ____17____ If we were certain of everything, it would be pretty hard for us to live our daily lives. Uncertainty drives us to work, play, and explore. It inspires us to explore what we see, think, and feel. Great inventions have been discovered due to simply wondering. ____18____ Uncertainty keeps us present. Uncertainty allows us to settle in the unknown. We often feel that knowing will make us feel better; however, this is an assumption. ____19____ In the pursuit of certainty, we can often do something called disaster planning. Knowing that uncertainty exists, we can recognize that disaster planning doesn’t serve us. And when we find ourselves there we can compassionately bring ourselves back to enjoying the present moment. Uncertainty allows for grey. ____20____ We can often be troubled by thinking a situation or person has to be one thing or the other; this is called black and white thinking. Uncertainty allows for the grey to exist, that both can be true. Acknowledging there is uncertainty helps explain phenomena that would otherwise remain a mystery. So the next time you find yourself seeking certainty, take some time — even a second — to lean in. Be curious about what you’re experiencing. You might be surprised what you find! A. However, life is uncertain. B. Uncertainty allows us to uncover mistakes. C. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. D. Uncertainty motivates us and encourages curiosity. E. It also offers chances to connect question and answer. F. Put simply, life would be pretty boring without uncertainty! G. Uncertainty creates more possibilities for us in understanding. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. F 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述了人类对确定性的追求以及不确定性带来的好处，如推动我们行动、让我们活在当下、允许存在灰色地带等，呼吁人们在追求确定性时也要接纳不确定性。 【16题详解】 根据上文“This desire for certainty is so strong that it can go unnoticed.(这种对确定性的渴望是如此强烈，以至于它可能不会被注意到。)”以及下文“We never know what will happen, and many things are unknowable.(我们永远不知道会发生什么，很多事情都是未知的。)”可知，上文说人类对确定性渴望强烈，下文说我们不知道会发生什么，很多事不可知，即生活是不确定的。A选项(然而，生活是不确定的。)承接上文对确定性的渴望，引出下文生活的不确定性，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据下文“If we were certain of everything, it would be pretty hard for us to live our daily lives. Uncertainty drives us to work, play, and explore. It inspires us to explore what we see, think, and feel. Great inventions have been discovered due to simply wondering.(如果我们对一切都确定无疑，那么我们很难过上日常生活。不确定性驱使我们工作、玩耍和探索。它激励我们去探索我们所看到、思考和感受到的东西。伟大的发明仅仅是因为好奇而被发现。)”可知，本段主要论述了不确定性对我们的积极作用，能推动我们行动，激发好奇心。D选项(不确定性激励我们并激发好奇心。)精准概括了本段主旨，其中“motivates us”对应下文“drives us to work, play, and explore”，“encourages curiosity”对应下文“inspires us to explore”和“wondering”，适合作为段首主旨句。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Uncertainty drives us to work, play, and explore. It inspires us to explore what we see, think, and feel. Great inventions have been discovered due to simply wondering.(不确定性驱使我们工作、娱乐和探索。它激励我们探索所见、所思、所感。许多伟大发明正是源于单纯的疑问。)”可知，前文提到不确定性启发人们探索所见、所思、所感，伟大的发明都源于好奇思索。F选项（简单来说，没有不确定性，生活会十分无趣！）承接上文，呼应前文“不确定性促使人们探索、催生发明”的内容，进一步强化不确定性对生活的重要意义，衔接自然且贴合段落语境。 【19题详解】 根据上文“We often feel that knowing will make us feel better; however, this is an assumption.(我们常常觉得知道会让我们感觉更好；然而，这只是一种假设。)”可知，作者指出“知晓会让人安心”这一想法并非总是真理。C选项（有时确实如此，有时并非如此。）承接上文，对“知晓会让人安心”的想法作出客观回应，衔接下文过度追求确定性的弊端。 【20题详解】 根据下文“We can often be troubled by thinking a situation or person has to be one thing or the other; this is called black and white thinking. Uncertainty allows for the grey to exist, that both can be true. Acknowledging there is uncertainty helps explain phenomena that would otherwise remain a mystery.(我们常常会因为认为一种情况或一个人非此即彼而烦恼；这被称为非黑即白的思维。不确定性允许灰色地带的存在，即两者都可以是真的。承认存在不确定性有助于解释那些否则将仍然是个谜的现象。)”可知，本段主要论述了不确定性允许灰色地带存在，能让我们在理解事物时有更多可能性。G选项(不确定性为我们的理解创造了更多可能性。)直接点明了不确定性的核心价值——拓宽认知的可能性，这与“允许灰色地带（承认多重可能性）”的内涵高度一致，适合作为段落开头的阐述句。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项. I was an English exchange student in Beijing. Fascinated by ____21____, I always saw nails and glue as something ____22____. However, sunmao, the ancient Chinese way of ____23____ wood without any fastener, became a “three-dimensional” ____24____ to me — complicated, intelligent, and mysterious. I bought essentials, hoping to make a traditional chair. My confidence broke as my tools slipped. My measurement was not ____25____ enough, so the joints wouldn’t ____26____. They were either too loose with ____27____, or they jammed together so ____28____ that I couldn’t even take them apart. My first try ended in piles of broken wood. Facing the wood, I was ___29___. Then rescue came from Master Feng, a skilled repairman. Seeing me ____30____ in frustration, he gave me a piece of walnut wood. “Feel its line,” he said. “ ____31____ with it, not against it. Sunmao is not about pushing wood into a shape, but about understanding its own nature — its pattern, its firmness, and its life as part of a tree.” The needed accuracy was not only in my skill, but also in my respectful attitude to the ____32____. Under his guidance, I made it.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为交换生在北京学习时，被中国传统榫卯技艺深深吸引，从最初尝试失败到在师傅指导下领悟其中哲学的过程，最终理解了相互成就、彼此支撑的人生道理。 【21题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我对建筑学着迷，总是把钉子和胶水视为完美的东西。A. management管理；B. entertainment娱乐；C. literature文学；D. architecture建筑学。根据后文“However, sunmao, the ancient Chinese way of  wood without any fastener”可知，作者谈到榫卯这一木工技艺，说明他对“建筑”感兴趣。故选D项。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我对建筑学着迷，总是把钉子和胶水视为完美的东西。A. simple简单的；B. perfect完美的；C. creative有创意的；D. meaningful有意义的。根据前文“Fascinated”可推知，因为着迷建筑学，所以作者一直认为用于建筑的工具钉子和胶水是很好的东西，是“完美的”东西，与后文“However, sunmao, the ancient Chinese way of  wood without any fastener, became a “three-dimensional”  to me — complicated, intelligent, and mysterious.”发现传统榫卯技艺的复杂和精妙形成转折。故选B项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，榫卯，这种无需任何紧固件连接木材的中国古老方式，对我来说成了一个“立体的”谜题——复杂、精妙、神秘。A. breaking打破；B. carving雕刻；C. joining连接；D. cutting切割。根据常识和后文对榫卯的描述“without any fastener”可知，榫卯是一种让两块木头“连接”的技艺。故选C项。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，榫卯，这种无需任何紧固件连接木材的中国古老方式，对我来说成了一个“立体的”谜题——复杂、精妙、神秘。A. strategy策略；B. tip建议；C. video视频；D. puzzle谜题。根据后文“complicated, intelligent, and mysterious”描述可知，作者认为榫卯像一个需要破解的“谜题”。故选D项。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我的测量不够精确，所以接头合不上。A. easy容易的；B. precise精确的；C. complicated复杂的；D. limited有限的。根据后文“They were either too loose with , or they jammed together”可知，接头要么太松要么卡得太紧，说明测量不“精确”。故选B项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我的测量不够精确，所以接头合不上。A. fit适合，合上；B. fall掉落；C. separate分开；D. shake摇晃。根据后文描述“They were either too loose with , or they jammed together”可知，接头无法“合上”。故选A项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它们要么因缝隙太大而太松，要么卡得太紧，我甚至无法拆开。A. spots斑点；B. marks标记；C. circles圆圈；D. gaps缝隙。根据前文“too loose”可知，接头太松，之间有“缝隙”。故选D项。 【28题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：它们要么因缝隙太大而太松，要么卡得太紧，我甚至无法拆开。A. flexibly灵活地；B. tightly紧紧地；C. formally正式地；D. randomly随机地。根据后文“couldn’t even take them apart”可知，它们卡得“太紧”，无法拆开。故选B项。 【29题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：面对木头，我不知所措。A. for sure确定；B. on duty值班；C. at a loss不知所措；D. in the way挡路。根据前文“ended in piles of broken wood”可知，第一次尝试失败，留下一堆碎木，作者感到“不知所措”。故选C项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：看到我沮丧地挣扎，他给了我一块胡桃木。A. assessing评估；B. remarking评论；C. whispering低语；D. struggling挣扎。根据前文作者失败后的状态以及“in frustration”，他正在“挣扎”。故选D项。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“感受它的纹理，”他说，“顺着它，而不是拧着来。榫卯不是把木头强扭成某个形状，而是要理解它本身的特质——它的纹路、它的韧性，还有它作为树木一部分时的生命。”A. Work工作，操作；B. Live生活；C. Fill填充；D. Share分享。根据后文“not against it”和“understanding its own nature”可知，师傅教导要理解木头本性的理念，所以要顺着木材纹理去“操作”。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：所需的精确不仅在于我的技艺，还在于我对材料抱有的尊重态度。A. surface表面；B. material材料；C. display展示；D. inspection检查。根据前文“but about understanding its own nature — its pattern, its firmness, and its life as part of a tree”可知，师傅教导要理解木头本身的性质，即对“材料”的尊重。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在这个过程中，我明白了任何一部分都无法独自支撑自身；它的力量源于为对方留出空间，源于创造出恰好可以契合的空间。A. understand理解；B. transform改变；C. support支撑；D. represent代表。根据后文“its strength grows from allowing for the other”可知，力量来自相互“支撑”。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这个过程中，我明白了任何一部分都无法独自支撑自身；它的力量源于为对方留出空间，源于创造出恰好可以契合的空间。A. room空间；B. fault过错；C. inquiry询问；D. measurement测量。根据后文“creating the exact space to go and lock together”可推知，榫卯需要为彼此留出“空间”，要契合。故选A项。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这是一堂关于相互依靠的课，真正的完整来自于精妙的连接，而非孤立存在。A. coming across偶遇；B. learning from向……学习；C. depending upon依靠，依赖；D. competing against与……竞争。根据前文“In the process, I’ve understood that neither part can itself; its strength grows from allowing for the other, from creating the exact space to go and lock together.”可推知，榫卯无法独自支撑自身，它的力量源于为对方留出空间，要彼此契合，所以教会作者的是彼此“依靠”的道理。故选C项。 第二节：语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made his first overseas tour of 2026 with visits to Africa from Jan. 7 to 12, he was not ___36___ (mere) continuing a 36-year diplomatic tradition but placing emphasis ___37___China’s engagement with Africa.

Reliable 42. have established 43. powering 44. a 45. rooted 【解析】 【导语】文章以中国外交部长出访非洲为切入点，通过事实陈述与数据支撑，聚焦中非数字经济合作的成果与意义。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：2026年1月7日至12日，中国外交部长王毅首次出访非洲，这不仅仅是延续36年的外交传统，更是强调中国与非洲的互动。空格处修饰动词continuing，需要用副词形式；mere是形容词，其副词形式是merely，表示“仅仅；只不过”。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：2026年1月7日至12日，中国外交部长王毅首次出访非洲，这不仅仅是延续36年的外交传统，更是强调中国与非洲的互动。place emphasis on/upon是固定短语，意为“强调；重视”，所以此处为介词on / upon。 【38题详解】 考查名词。句意：这一点在其数字经济的快速扩张中体现得最为明显。空格处前面有形容词rapid修饰，且前面有介词in，需要用名词形式作宾语；expand是动词，其名词形式是expansion，表示“扩张；扩展”。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这一进步的核心是与中国的强有力伙伴关系，这种伙伴关系结合了先进技术、财政支持和深度政策参与。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a powerful partnership with China，关系词在从句中作主语，且非限制性定语从句不能用that引导，所以用关系代词which。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过帮助建立移动支付系统和智慧城市，中国正在为非洲国家克服传统发展障碍、建设未来数字基础设施铺平道路。pave the way for sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“为某人做某事铺平道路”，所以用动词不定式to overcome作后置定语，修饰名词way。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：可靠的数字基础设施是不断增长的数字经济的基础。空格处修饰名词短语digital infrastructure，需要用形容词形式；rely是动词，其形容词形式是reliable，表示“可靠的；可信赖的”，句首单词首字母大写。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：在过去十年中，中国企业已经建立了数千座移动通讯塔，并帮助建立了区域数据中心。空格处是谓语动词，时间状语In the past decade是现在完成时的标志，结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语Chinese companies是复数，所以谓语动词为have established。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：根据《2025年中非经贸合作蓝皮书》，中国建造的主要数据中心目前在尼日利亚、肯尼亚、南非和埃及运营，为从移动银行到电子政务的服务提供动力。空格处作伴随状语，句子的主语major China-built data centers与动词power之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词powering。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：以中国为重要战略伙伴，非洲国家正在迅速建设可持续数字经济的基础设施。根据空格后的单数名词partner可知，空格处应该用不定冠词，泛指“一个重要战略伙伴”，key是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在全球数字格局中，非洲和中国正在推进一种新的合作模式——一种植根于公平、普及和长期影响的模式。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语，修饰空格前的one，one指代前面的a new model of cooperation，model与动词root之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词rooted作后置定语。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你校英语报“Teen Voice”栏目围绕漫画“Parents’ Wish, Society’s Trend, My Own Dream”展开征稿，请你根据以下漫画写一篇文章投稿，内容包括： （1）活动内容； （2）你的体会。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80左； （2）请按如下格式在答题应位置作答。 My Parents’ Wish, Society’s Trend, My Own Dream ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My Parents’ Wish, Society’s Trend, My Own Dream Faced with parents’ wish, society’s trend and my own dream, I firmly choose to pursue my lifelong dream of being a writer.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。 2.续写线索：上传新视频（介绍视频内容）→视频引发热烈反响（网友评论、分享）→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚（拥抱、对话）→两人共同设计椅子（描述设计过程）→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入，工作室重焕生机 。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find ②放置：place/put ③拥抱：embrace/hug ④开始：begin/start 情绪类 赞扬：praise/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.

They focus on China’s development B In the morning, when mist still hangs over the old stone streets of the coastal town of Seabrook, Thaddeus Flint is already at work in his workshop. For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking from within. Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. The deep, clear-sounding bell that now marks each hour in Seabrook is partly Leo’s creation. News of their successful work together spread. Many locals bring their hard-to-fix antique shelf clock for repair. Leo, once an outsider, gradually became a familiar face. Thaddeus often speaks proudly of Leo’s “steady hands and a steadier mind”. Leo plans to study engineering after graduation. “A clock isn’t just gears and time,” Thaddeus told him. “It’s a promise that every piece has its place. All we need is to observe and study calmly and steadily.” In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. 4. Which word best describes both Thaddeus and Leo? A. Dedicated. B. Moody. C. Easy-going. D. Flexible. 5. What can be inferred about Thaddeus from paragraph 2? A. He displayed strong devotion to clocks. B. He aimed to impress Leo more quickly. C. He intended to train Leo in clock making. D. He got inspiration from his prior experience. 6. What surprised Thaddeus about Leo’s skills in clock making? A. An old physics book. B. A solution to a bottleneck. C. Leo’s careful modesty. D. Leo’s challenge to authority. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Precision is key. B. Patience matters. C. Every detail counts. D. Teamwork is essential. C At a time when American agriculture was as colorful as dirt, a food hunter for the USDA (美国农业部) named David Fairchild went in search of novel plants that could be of economic value to U.S. farmers. Driven by curiosity and fueled by optimism, he brought back many plants and fruits now taken for granted. In 1902 Fairchild first encountered sakura (樱花), the flowering cherry trees of Japan. Enchanted by their beauty, Fairchild wanted to bring the trees back home and ordered 125 sakura trees for his own front yard in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The nursery owner in Yokohama was so pleased to have an American customer that they charged Fairchild just 10 cents per tree. In the spring of 1906 Fairchild’s imported trees bloomed for the first time, and word of the pink blossoms brought so many onlookers to their home that Fairchild ordered 300 more as a gift to the city of Chevy Chase. Eliza Scidmore, National Geographic’s first official female writer, photographer, and board member, was also an advocate of the cherry blossoms in D.C. After spending time living and reporting from Japan, she returned to Washington with photographs of cherry blossom trees — “the most beautiful thing in the world” — and began petitioning President Grover Cleveland’s administration to plant them along the Tidal Basin. Years later, President Theodore Roosevelt spoke often about “beautifying” the country’s capital, then sloppy with mud from the lapping Potomac. Helen Taft, the first lady, believed the cherry blossoms were the answer. Her husband agreed. In addition to their beauty, President William Taft also sensed an opportunity to forge a diplomatic friendship with the Japanese. In the fall of 1909, the mayor of Tokyo sent 2,000 young trees to Washington. However, they arrived barely alive — their roots cut too short and teeming with insects. Fearful of foreign pests, USDA entomologists burned them in a great bonfire on the National Mall. Only when Japan sent a second, bigger shipment of 3,020 trees, all tall and mature, did the trees make it into the ground. It took only two springs for the trees to become universally adored by the American public, at least enough for the U.S. government to reciprocate and send Japan a gift in return. Officials decided to offer Japan a shipment of flowering dogwoods. 8. Who is the first to bring the cherry blossom to America? A. Eliza Scidmore. B. Yokohama. C. David Fairchild. D.

Helen Taft once lived in Japan and took many photos of cherry blossoms. D. In the fall of 1909, the U.S. government sent Japan a gift in return. 11. Which is the best title of the text? A. How Cherry Blossoms Came to the United States. B. Cherry Blossoms Improve the American Agriculture. C. Cherry Blossoms Beautifies the American Capital. D. Why Cherry Blossoms Came to the United States. D WE MAY have been missing signals from intelligent aliens (外星人) because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for the wrong type of signal, potentially failing to spot promising evidence of alien life, but the chances of a future discovery are now higher. The not-for-profit organisation carries out research to help prove the existence of alien life, which includes listening for radio signals from outer space that cannot be explained by natural cosmological phenomena. Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar (恒星) winds of stars. Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown at the SETI Institute calculated the scale of the effect on radio transmissions (传输) from spacecraft in our own solar system, and then extrapolated that to other stellar environments. They found that a 100-megahertz signal could be widened as much as 100 hertz — enough to “fall below traditional detection thresholds”. A space weather event can similarly increase the amount of broadening experienced by a signal to a significant degree. John Elliott at the University of St Andrews, UK, says he sees the news as the glass being half-full, not half-empty: it means previous searches may have missed evidence, but also means that future searches will be more likely to succeed. “It’s over 50 years that we’ve been actively searching and that’s a blink of the eye, isn’t it, when you think about it,” says Elliott. 12. Why have researchers possibly failed to receive signals from intelligent aliens? A. The signals cannot reach the Earth. B. Their equipment was not advanced enough. C. The signals did not appear in the expected form. D. Space weather events prevented the signal traveling. 13. How is the alien signal affected by the stellar winds of stars? A. B. C. D. (Note: Plots show relative changes in signal width and strength, not absolute values.) 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How the new findings were reached. B. How spacecraft send radio signals. C. What affects radio signal transmission. D. What helped researchers make progress. 15. Which statement does John Elliott probably agree with? A. Much progress has been made so far. B. Future discoveries will be fruitful. C. Previous searches wasted a lot of time. D. Fifty years is too long for alien hunting. 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。 From the time of the cavemen, we have always sought certainty. This desire for certainty is so strong that it can go unnoticed. ____16____ We never know what will happen, and many things are unknowable. This can make us feel stressed or worried, since the unknown is associated with danger. Most of us think of being uncertain as a weakness or even a flaw. Actually there are many benefits to allowing ourselves to be unsure about what’s happening or what will happen. ____17____ If we were certain of everything, it would be pretty hard for us to live our daily lives. Uncertainty drives us to work, play, and explore. It inspires us to explore what we see, think, and feel. Great inventions have been discovered due to simply wondering. ____18____ Uncertainty keeps us present. Uncertainty allows us to settle in the unknown. We often feel that knowing will make us feel better; however, this is an assumption. ____19____ In the pursuit of certainty, we can often do something called disaster planning. Knowing that uncertainty exists, we can recognize that disaster planning doesn’t serve us. And when we find ourselves there we can compassionately bring ourselves back to enjoying the present moment. Uncertainty allows for grey. ____20____ We can often be troubled by thinking a situation or person has to be one thing or the other; this is called black and white thinking. Uncertainty allows for the grey to exist, that both can be true. Acknowledging there is uncertainty helps explain phenomena that would otherwise remain a mystery. So the next time you find yourself seeking certainty, take some time — even a second — to lean in. Be curious about what you’re experiencing. You might be surprised what you find! A. However, life is uncertain. B. Uncertainty allows us to uncover mistakes. C. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. D. Uncertainty motivates us and encourages curiosity. E. It also offers chances to connect question and answer. F. Put simply, life would be pretty boring without uncertainty! G. Uncertainty creates more possibilities for us in understanding. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项. I was an English exchange student in Beijing.

Sunmao is not about pushing wood into a shape, but about understanding its own nature — its pattern, its firmness, and its life as part of a tree.” The needed accuracy was not only in my skill, but also in my respectful attitude to the ____32____. Under his guidance, I made it. In the process, I’ve understood that neither part can ____33____ itself; its strength grows from allowing ____34____ for the other, from creating the exact space to go and lock together.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
