The library subscribes to about 100 current periodicals (期刊) within the same topics. The collection also includes a special collection with literature and works of reference concerning Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prizes. The collection includes several rare early publications. Depository (寄存) library The library is also a depository library for publications from a number of international organizations and institutions. Official documents from organizations such as the United Nations, League of Nations, the Council of Europe, and others, are included in the collection. Practical information Access to the library is dependent on making an appointment with the library staff each time. Booking an appointment can be done either by sending an e-mail to library@ nobel.no,or by telephone 22-12-93-00. Appointments are given within the Nobel Institute’s normal opening hours.

B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了诺贝尔研究所图书馆的开放历史、馆藏范围、寄存文献资源，同时说明了预约方式、配套设施、资料查询途径及分时段开放时间。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The collection also includes a special collection with literature and works of reference concerning Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prizes.( 藏品中还包括关于阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔和诺贝尔奖的文献及参考书的特别收藏。)”可知，关于诺贝尔及诺贝尔奖的文献是图书馆的特别收藏之一。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Practical information部分中的“Visitors may access a wireless network, and there is also a lunchroom in connection with the reading room.( 访客可以连接无线网络，阅览室旁还有一个午餐室。)”可知，访客被允许在阅览室使用无线网络。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Practical information部分中的“Material newer than 1990 is searchable through Oria. For material older than this you have to use the cards catalogue in the reading room.(1990年以后的资料可通过Oria检索。对于早于此时间的资料，必须使用阅览室的卡片目录。)”可知，1985年出版的资料早于1990年，因此需要通过使用卡片目录（cards catalogue）来查找。 B Working at an investment bank in New York City, Anna Sacks was living the life — just not the life she wanted. She wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level. So she moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have,” she says.“And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here?’ So I began what I called ‘trash walking’.” During her trash walking around the neighborhood, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include corporate dumpsters (垃圾车) along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a lot of really great stuff — like clothing, designer accessories (配件), dinnerware, and food — all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational,funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Sacks’ videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out. Her most popular video showed brand-new luxury Coach handbags that had been destroyed by employees before being trashed — a way of “damaging out” unwanted inventory (库存). (And perhaps as a way to keep the luxury brand unique.) This still happened, despite the “sustainability commitment” on Coach’s website, which says the company encourages fixing damaged bags and is part of the “circular economy.” The 56-second TikTok went live in October, and a week later, Coach announced changes to its policy, stating it would no longer destroy in-store returns. 4. Why did Anna Sacks join the Adamah program? A. To pursue a more meaningful life. B. To escape her investment bank job. C. To learn the Jewish farming skills. D. To live in Connecticut permanently. 5. What did Anna Sacks do during“trash walking”? A. Sold designer accessories found in trash. B. Picked up food from the industrial trash. C. Cleaned garbage in corporate dumpsters. D. Collected reusable items and share them online. 6. What did Anna’s video expose about Coach? A. Its products were of poor quality. B. Its action disagreed with its claims. C. It encouraged repairing damaged bags. D. It donated unwanted inventory to charity. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The impact of social media on luxury brands. B. Coach’s policy change on inventory handling. C. A lady’s journey to promote sustainable living. D. A Jewish farming program’s environmental influence. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了安娜·萨克斯厌倦投行生活，参加农耕项目后受到启发，开展“垃圾行走”并线上分享，倡导环保，其视频促使蔻驰更改销毁商品的政策。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level. So she moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food.( 她渴望做些真正有意义、内心感到充实的事情。于是，她搬到康涅狄格州待了三个月，参与Adamah这个犹太农业项目，该项目专注于可持续生活方式和可持续食品的种植。)”可知，安娜·萨克斯加入Adamah项目是为了追求更有意义的生活。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During her trash walking around the neighborhood, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include corporate dumpsters (垃圾车) along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a lot of really great stuff — like clothing, designer accessories (配件), dinnerware, and food — all of which she documents onInstagram and TikTok.( 在社区里穿梭于垃圾中时，萨克斯会仔细翻找可重复使用的物品。很快，她的垃圾漫步范围扩展到了企业垃圾箱和居民生活垃圾。令人惊讶的是，她发现了许多非常棒的东西——比如衣物、设计师配饰、餐具和食物等，她把这些都记录在Instagram和TikTok上分享。)”可知，安娜·萨克斯在“垃圾行走”期间收集可重复使用的物品，并在网上分享。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Her most popular video showed brand-new luxury Coach handbags that had been destroyed by employees before being trashed — a way of “damaging out” unwanted inventory (库存).(And perhaps as a way to keep the luxury brand unique.) This still happened, despite the “sustainability commitment” on Coach’s website, which says the company encourages fixing damaged bags and is part of the “circular economy.”(她最广为人知的一段视频展示了全新高档蔻驰手袋，这些全新的蔻驰手袋在被丢弃前就被员工销毁——这是“主动损毁”多余库存的一种方式（或许也是为了保持奢侈品牌的独特性）。尽管蔻驰官网宣称公司致力于可持续发展，鼓励修复破损包袋，并参与“循环经济”，但这种做法仍然持续发生。)”可知，安娜的视频揭示了蔻驰公司其行为与宣传不符。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“She wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level. So she moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. (她想做一些感觉重要且能在更深层次上带来满足感的事情。因此，她搬到康涅狄格州参加了为期三个月的Adamah项目，这是一个专注于可持续生活和种植可持续食品的犹太农业项目)”、第二段“I began what I called ‘trash walking’. (我开始了所谓的“垃圾行走”)”和第三段“Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items... all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok. (Sacks翻找垃圾寻找可重复使用的物品……所有这些她都在Instagram和TikTok上记录下来)”可知，文章讲述了Anna Sacks从投资银行辞职参加可持续农业项目后，通过“垃圾行走”发现大量被浪费的物品并在社交媒体上分享，从而推动可持续生活理念的传播。故C项“A lady’s journey to promote sustainable living. (一位女士推广可持续生活方式的旅程)”能概括文章内容。 C What do you think of when you hear the phrase dress for success? Perhaps it’s a no-brainer for you, or perhaps you dismiss it as vanity (虚荣) — wearing a well-cut suit or polished shoes so others will take you more seriously. But the truth is more complex and important. A new study published in the International Journal of Research in Marketing illustrates its point. When people believed that they looked better, they didn’t just feel more confident. They acted more kindly, even donating twice as much to charity as those who didn’t experience the same boost. The researchers found that when people perceive themselves as more attractive, they believe that they are more visible to others — and this pushes them toward generosity and positive social behavior. This finding mirrors what psychologists call the halo (光环) effect: the tendency for people to assume that those who are attractive also possess other positive qualities. Attractive people are more likely to be treated kindly, hired for jobs, or trusted in negotiations. The new view here is that the effect works inwardly as well. When we feel attractive, we don’t just benefit from others’ positive attitude — we start behaving in ways that make them stronger. Think of it as a feedback loop: the suit, the dress, the polished shoes, and even the well-chosen accessories boost your confidence. That confidence shapes your behavior — helping you speak with clarity, connect with warmth, and act generously. In turn, people respond more positively, intensifying the very self- image you began with. It’s not about vanity. It’s about aligning (使一致) the outer and inner self so that you can show up in ways that expand your impact. So the next time you’re preparing for a keynote, or an important meeting, don’t ask, “How will they judge me?” Ask instead: “How will this choice help me think, feel, and act as my best self?” 8. What did the new study find? A. Kind people are considered to be attractive. B. Donating helps people feel more confident. C. Attractive people are more likely to get jobs. D. People feeling more attractive are more generous. 9. What can we infer about the traditional halo effect? A. It mainly determined others’ hiring decisions. B. It could only influence people’s own behavior. C. It had nothing to do with attractiveness at all. D. It brought positive treatment to attractive people. 10. What does the author suggest readers do before an important event? A. Choose the most fashionable outfit available. B. Focus on how others will judge their appearance. C. Select clothing that helps them behave at their best. D. Avoid dressing too formally to seem approachable. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Build Confidence to Get Recognized B. Dress Well to Boost Self and Behavior C. Present Oneself Well to Impress Others D. Wear Beautiful Clothes to Be Successful 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍一项新研究，讲解得体着装带来的心理、行为影响以及光环效应的内在作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They acted more kindly, even donating twice as much to charity as those who didn’t experience the same boost. The researchers found that when people perceive themselves as more attractive, they believe that they are more visible to others — and this pushes them toward generosity and positive social behavior.(他们表现得更加友善，捐款数额甚至是那些没有获得这种情绪提升的人的两倍。研究人员发现，当人们认为自己更有魅力时，他们会觉得自己更容易被他人关注，而这会促使他们变得慷慨并做出积极的社交行为。)”可知，感觉自身更有魅力的人会更加慷慨。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Attractive people are more likely to be treated kindly, hired for jobs, or trusted in negotiations.(有魅力的人更容易受到友善对待、获得工作机会，或是在谈判中得到信任。)”可知，传统的光环效应会让有魅力的人收获他人的善意对待。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So the next time you’re preparing for a keynote, or an important meeting, don’t ask, “How will they judge me?” Ask instead: “How will this choice help me think, feel, and act as my best self?”(所以下次你准备主题演讲或是重要会议时，不要问“他们会如何评价我？”，而要问“这样的选择如何帮助我以最佳状态思考、感受和行事？”)”可知，作者建议选择能让自己展现最佳状态的服饰。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第五段“The suit, the dress, the polished shoes, and even the well-chosen accessories boost your confidence. That confidence shapes your behavior — helping you speak with clarity, connect with warmth, and act generously.(西装、连衣裙、锃亮的鞋子，甚至精心挑选的配饰都会提升你的自信。这份自信会塑造你的行为，让你表达清晰、待人热忱、行事慷慨。)”可知，文章围绕着装展开，讲述得体穿搭能够提升自我、优化行为，因此“精心穿搭，提升自我与言行”最适合作为文章标题。 D Just a few years ago, agricultural drones (无人机) were expensive, small and difficult to use, limiting their appeal to farmers. In contrast, today’s models can be flown immediately after purchase and carry loads weighing up to 220 pounds — the weight of two sacks of fertilizer (肥料). Agricultural drones are now similar to flying tractors. They can perform numerous tasks using different hardware attachments. Common uses for drones on farms include spraying crops, spreading fertilizer, sowing seeds, transporting produce, monitoring livestock locations and well-being. This wide range of use makes drones valuable for growing numerous crops, on farms of all sizes. China leads the world in agricultural drone manufacturing and adoption. In 2016, a Chinese company introduced the first agriculture-specific drone. There are now more than250,000 agricultural drones reported to be in use there. Other middle-income countries have also been enthusiastic adopters. For instance, drones were used on 30% of Thailand’s farmland in 2023, up from almost none in 2019. In the U.S., the number of agricultural drones registered with the Federal Aviation Administration leaped from about 1,000 in January 2024to around 5,500 in mid-2025. Apart from saving farmers time and money, drones may also help make agriculture more attractive to rural youth, who are disillusioned with the hardship and boredom of traditional farming. In addition, drones create new skilled employment opportunities in rural areas for pilots, many of whom are young people. Drones spray and spread fertilizers and seeds evenly and efficiently, so that less is wasted. They may also reduce damage to crops in the field and consume less energy. These factors may increase the amount of food that can be produced on each acre of land. However, much of the evidence so far on yield (产量) gains from drone-assisted farming is based on individual accounts, or on small studies or industry reports. Although early signs point to big benefits: greater efficiency, safer working conditions and improved rural livelihoods, the full picture isn’t clear yet. 12. Which of the following is the characteristic of today’s agricultural drones? A. They are multi-functional. B. They are only suitable for big farms. C. They are light and flexible. D. They are costly and hard to operate. 13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The sharp rise of agricultural drones’ use. B. The convenience agricultural drones bring. C. The increasing demand for advanced drones. D. The development of agricultural drones in China. 14. What does the underlined phrase “disillusioned with” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Tolerant of. B. Fed up with. C. Unfamiliar with. D. Interested in. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards agricultural drones? A. Opposed. B. Worried. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了农业无人机的发展趋势、全球应用情况及其对农业和农村就业的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They can perform numerous tasks using different hardware attachments. Common uses for drones on farms include spraying crops, spreading fertilizer, sowing seeds, transporting produce, monitoring livestock locations and well-being.(它们可以使用不同的硬件附件完成多种任务。无人机在农场的常见用途包括喷洒作物、撒施肥料、播种种子、运输农产品，以及监测牲畜的位置和健康状况)”可知，当今农业无人机具有多功能性。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“China leads the world in agricultural drone manufacturing and adoption. In 2016, a Chinese company introduced the first agriculture-specific drone. There are now more than250,000 agricultural drones reported to be in use there. Other middle-income countries have also been enthusiastic adopters. For instance, drones were used on 30% of Thailand’s farmland in 2023, up from almost none in 2019. In the U.S., the number of agricultural drones registered with the Federal Aviation Administration leaped from about 1,000 in January 2024to around 5,500 in mid-2025.(中国在农业无人机制造和应用方面位居世界前列。2016年，一家中国企业推出了首款专用于农业的无人机。目前，中国已报告有超过25万台农业无人机投入使用。其他中等收入国家也积极跟进采用。例如，2023年泰国已有30%的农田使用了无人机，而这一比例在2019年几乎为零。在美国，美国联邦航空管理局登记的农业无人机数量从2024年1月的约1000架，跃升至2025年年中约5500架)”可知，第三段的主要思想是农业无人机使用量的急剧上升。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the hardship and boredom of traditional farming(传统农耕辛苦又乏味)”可知，传统农耕辛苦又乏味，所以乡村青年对此感到厌倦，故划线词意思是“感到厌倦”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Drones spray and spread fertilizers and seeds evenly and efficiently, so that less is wasted. They may also reduce damage to crops in the field and consume less energy. These factors may increase the amount of food that can be produced on each acre of land. However, much of the evidence so far on yield (产量) gains from drone-assisted farming is based on individual accounts, or on small studies or industry reports. Although early signs point to big benefits: greater efficiency, safer working conditions and improved rural livelihoods, the full picture isn’t clear yet.(无人机能够均匀高效地喷洒和撒播肥料与种子，从而减少浪费。它们还能降低田间作物的损害，并节约能源。这些因素可能提高每英亩土地的粮食产量。然而，目前关于无人机辅助农业增产效果的大部分证据仍基于个人报告、小型研究或行业报告。尽管初步迹象显示其效益显著：效率更高、工作条件更安全，农村居民生活改善，但整体情况尚未完全明朗)”可知，作者对农业无人机持客观态度。 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。 Small acts of volunteering, big gains for everyone When our class first discussed volunteering at a local nursing home, I hesitated. I worried I couldn’t start up a conversation with the elderly and feared the experience would be awkward. ____16____ Little did I know this small step would bring unexpected joy to both sides. On our first visit, we prepared simple activities: reading stories, chatting, and assisting with chores like folding clothes. ____17____ One elderly lady who’d been a rural teacher in her prime shared stories of educating mountain kids; another taught us to knit scarves with old wool. We laughed at her amusing stories and felt warmth at her sincerity. The feared awkwardness never came — instead, a natural bond formed. As visits became regular, we explored new ways to lend a hand. ____18____ We also brought homemade paper-cuts and small gifts, which lit up their ordinary days. Some classmates even taught elders to use smartphones for video calls — their tearful smiles when seeing loved ones were priceless. Volunteering didn’t just benefit the elderly — we’d initially thought we were the only givers. ____19____ I grew more confident in communicating across ages and learned to listen attentively. My classmates and I bonded as we cooperated to make visits meaningful, realizing small efforts beat grand gestures. By the end of the semester, we felt a bit of sorrow wrapping up the project. ____20____ What’s more, we have come to understand that mutual nature of kindness. When we give our time and care, we will gain boundless joy, personal growth, and precious memories that last a lifetime. A. I thought it a fruitless waste of my spare time. B. We learned tiny kindness acts have big impacts. C. It also transformed me and classmates profoundly. D. Most elders were eager to share bits of their lives with us. E. We tidied their rooms and walked with them in the garden. F. Some elders were not active, but our enthusiasm broke the ice. G. Soon I looked forward to each visit — it became my weekly highlight. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】作者起初不愿去养老院做志愿，参与后和老人相处融洽。志愿活动帮助了老人，也让自身得到成长，大家领悟到小小善举有着不凡的意义。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When our class first discussed volunteering at a local nursing home, I hesitated. I worried I couldn’t start up a conversation with the elderly and feared the experience would be awkward.(当我们的班级第一次讨论在本地养老院做志愿者时，我有些犹豫。我担心自己无法与老人展开对话，也害怕这次经历会显得尴尬)”以及后文“Little did I know this small step would bring unexpected joy to both sides.(我从未想到，这小小的一步会为双方带来意想不到的喜悦)”可知，第一段讲作者最初对养老院志愿活动的犹豫担忧，A选项“我当时觉得这纯粹是在白白浪费闲暇时光，毫无意义。”承接作者一开始的负面预期，衔接后文“没想到这一步会带来意外快乐”的转折，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据上文“On our first visit, we prepared simple activities: reading stories, chatting, and assisting with chores like folding clothes.(我们第一次来访时，准备了一些简单的活动：阅读故事、聊天，以及帮忙做家务，比如折叠衣物)”以及后文“One elderly lady who’d been a rural teacher in her prime shared stories of educating mountain kids; another taught us to knit scarves with old wool. We laughed at her amusing stories and felt warmth at her sincerity. The feared awkwardness never came — instead, a natural bond formed.(一位曾是乡村教师的年长女士，分享了她教山里孩子读书的经历；另一位则教我们用旧羊毛编织围巾。我们听着她风趣的故事而开怀大笑，也感受到她真诚的温暖。那种令人畏惧的尴尬从未出现——取而代之的是，一种自然的亲密感悄然形成)”可知，第二段描述第一次拜访的场景，后文举例两位老人分享经历、教新技能，D选项“多数老人渴望和我们分享生活点滴”引出下文例子，符合逻辑。 【18题详解】 根据上文“As visits became regular, we explored new ways to lend a hand.(随着访问变得频繁，我们开始探索新的方式来提供帮助)”以及后文“We also brought homemade paper-cuts and small gifts, which lit up their ordinary days. Some classmates even taught elders to use smartphones for video calls — their tearful smiles when seeing loved ones were priceless.(我们还带来了自制的剪纸和小礼物，点亮了他们平凡的日子。一些同学甚至教老人使用智能手机进行视频通话——看到亲人的那一刻，他们流下的泪水令人难以估量)”可知，第三段讲规律拜访后探索新的志愿帮助方式，E选项“我们帮他们收拾了房间，还陪他们在花园里散步。”描述具体帮忙行动，衔接后文“我们也带来剪纸和小礼物”的并列关系，符合逻辑。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Volunteering didn’t just benefit the elderly — we’d initially thought we were the only givers.(志愿服务不仅惠及了老年人——我们起初还以为自己是唯一给予的人)”以及后文“I grew more confident in communicating across ages and learned to listen attentively. My classmates and I bonded as we cooperated to make visits meaningful, realizing small efforts beat grand gestures.(我变得更加自信地与不同年龄层的人交流，并学会了认真倾听。在合作让探访变得有意义的过程中，我和同学们建立了友谊，体会到小小的付出胜过宏大的举动)”可知，第四段点明志愿活动不只是让老人受益，C选项“它也深深改变了我和同学们”引出下文作者的成长收获，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 根据上文“By the end of the semester, we felt a bit of sorrow wrapping up the project.(学期结束时，我们感到在完成项目的过程中有些遗憾)”以及后文“What’s more, we have come to understand that mutual nature of kindness. When we give our time and care, we will gain boundless joy, personal growth, and precious memories that last a lifetime.(此外，我们逐渐认识到善良的相互性。当我们付出时间与关怀时，将会获得无尽的喜悦、个人成长以及终生难忘的珍贵回忆)”可知，第五段是活动结束后的感悟，B选项“我们了解到小小的善举会产生巨大影响”呼应文章标题，衔接后文进一步的感悟，符合逻辑。 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。 Enmanuel is a 19-year-old basketball player.

She brought along her daughter, Ella, who was 5 years old at the time. One evening, near the end of the visit, Lisa, her daughter and the school group were on a platform in the London Underground getting ready to head to their next destination. It was 5p.m. and the station was packed. Lisa took hold of Ella’s hand and began counting her students. Just then, a train pulled up to the platform. Suddenly, her daughter let go of her hand. She was pushed onto the wrong train in the rush of people and the doors began to close. As the train gathered speed, she ran alongside trying to force the door open by digging her fingers into the black rubber gasket (垫圈). On the other side of the glass, she could see her daughter’s panicked face. The last thing she saw before the train pulled out of the station was Ella crying. Behind her, a young man dressed in black leather with a spiked collar (钉刺项图) around his neck rose from his seat and started moving toward Ella. Terrified, Lisa turned to a railway station worker for help. The man she found was not a native English speaker, which made explaining her situation difficult. She was so shocked, too frightened to cry, too focused on getting this man to understand her request for help, but in vain. At that moment, her mind raced with horrific images. The man in black leather, whose spiked collar was a symbol of danger, was moving toward her helpless child. She was certain he meant to harm Ella. Every image was tearing her apart: her daughter’s terrified little face pressed against the glass, while that figure moved through the rocking carriage — every step seemed to crush her heart. 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。 Suddenly, one of Lisa’s students appeared at her shoulder and said, “Ella’s back, and there she was.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Lisa looked up again to thank him, the young man was gone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, one of Lisa’ s students appeared at her shoulder and said,” Ella’ s back, and there she was.” Lisa turned around instantly and saw her little girl standing safely on the platform, hands held firmly by the man in the black leather jacket. As Lisa rushed forward and picked her daughter up with tremble, she heard Ella whisper, “The nice man helped me and told me not to be scared.” Over her daughter’s head, Lisa met the young man’ s eyes — clear, kind, and utterly calm. Lisa felt a surge of deep shame, realizing how ridiculous her wrong judgment of the man had been. When Lisa looked up again to thank him, the young man was gone. He had disappeared into the crowd as silently as he had appeared. A sense of regret mixed with gratitude lingered in her heart. It was the young man that rescued her from the worst day of her life. He didn’t just save her daughter, but also changed the way Lisa moved through the world. She finally understood that appearances are never a reliable measure of a person’s heart. She will never judge others by their looks again and will be more accepting, seeing hidden warmth everywhere in life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以地铁站意外走失为线索展开，讲述了二十多年前丽莎带女儿和学生游览英国，在伦敦地铁站，女儿艾拉被人流挤上错误列车，丽莎看到一名穿着皮衣、佩戴钉刺项圈、外形怪异的青年走向女儿，仅凭外貌主观判定青年心怀恶意，陷入极致恐慌，求助工作人员却无果，内心被可怕的猜测折磨的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，本段可描写丽莎看到女儿被皮衣青年安全护送回站台，通过女儿的口述点明青年救人的行为，再刻画丽莎对视青年后，因以貌取人产生强烈羞愧的心理转变。 ② 由第二段首句可知，本段可描写青年悄无声息消失在人群中，再写丽莎交织着感激与遗憾的内心感受，最后升华主旨。 2. 续写线索 得知女儿平安返回→目睹青年护送女儿→女儿讲述施救经过→丽莎产生以貌取人的羞愧→想要道谢时青年消失→内心感念善意、心生遗憾→破除外貌偏见、学会包容接纳他人 3.词类激活 行为类 ①看见：see/spot/catch sight of ②消失：disappear/vanish 情绪类 ①愧疚：shame/guilty ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Lisa turned around instantly and saw her little girl standing safely on the platform, hands held filmly by the man in the black leather jacket.（运用了现在分词standing作宾补以及独立主格结构作状语） 【高分句型2】 She finally understood that appearances are never a reliable measure of a person’s heart.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖南省常德市2025-2026学年度上学期2月高三检测考试(一模)英语试题 2026.02 注意事项：本卷共12页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。考试结束后，只交答题卡。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话读两遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

B Working at an investment bank in New York City, Anna Sacks was living the life — just not the life she wanted. She wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level. So she moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have,” she says.“And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here?’ So I began what I called ‘trash walking’.” During her trash walking around the neighborhood, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include corporate dumpsters (垃圾车) along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a lot of really great stuff — like clothing, designer accessories (配件), dinnerware, and food — all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational,funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Sacks’ videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out. Her most popular video showed brand-new luxury Coach handbags that had been destroyed by employees before being trashed — a way of “damaging out” unwanted inventory (库存). (And perhaps as a way to keep the luxury brand unique.) This still happened, despite the “sustainability commitment” on Coach’s website, which says the company encourages fixing damaged bags and is part of the “circular economy.” The 56-second TikTok went live in October, and a week later, Coach announced changes to its policy, stating it would no longer destroy in-store returns. 4. Why did Anna Sacks join the Adamah program? A. To pursue a more meaningful life. B. To escape her investment bank job. C. To learn the Jewish farming skills. D. To live in Connecticut permanently. 5. What did Anna Sacks do during“trash walking”? A. Sold designer accessories found in trash. B. Picked up food from the industrial trash. C. Cleaned garbage in corporate dumpsters. D. Collected reusable items and share them online. 6. What did Anna’s video expose about Coach? A. Its products were of poor quality. B. Its action disagreed with its claims. C. It encouraged repairing damaged bags. D. It donated unwanted inventory to charity. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The impact of social media on luxury brands. B. Coach’s policy change on inventory handling. C. A lady’s journey to promote sustainable living. D. A Jewish farming program’s environmental influence. C What do you think of when you hear the phrase dress for success? Perhaps it’s a no-brainer for you, or perhaps you dismiss it as vanity (虚荣) — wearing a well-cut suit or polished shoes so others will take you more seriously. But the truth is more complex and important. A new study published in the International Journal of Research in Marketing illustrates its point. When people believed that they looked better, they didn’t just feel more confident. They acted more kindly, even donating twice as much to charity as those who didn’t experience the same boost. The researchers found that when people perceive themselves as more attractive, they believe that they are more visible to others — and this pushes them toward generosity and positive social behavior. This finding mirrors what psychologists call the halo (光环) effect: the tendency for people to assume that those who are attractive also possess other positive qualities. Attractive people are more likely to be treated kindly, hired for jobs, or trusted in negotiations. The new view here is that the effect works inwardly as well. When we feel attractive, we don’t just benefit from others’ positive attitude — we start behaving in ways that make them stronger. Think of it as a feedback loop: the suit, the dress, the polished shoes, and even the well-chosen accessories boost your confidence. That confidence shapes your behavior — helping you speak with clarity, connect with warmth, and act generously. In turn, people respond more positively, intensifying the very self- image you began with. It’s not about vanity. It’s about aligning (使一致) the outer and inner self so that you can show up in ways that expand your impact. So the next time you’re preparing for a keynote, or an important meeting, don’t ask, “How will they judge me?” Ask instead: “How will this choice help me think, feel, and act as my best self?” 8. What did the new study find? A. Kind people are considered to be attractive. B. Donating helps people feel more confident. C. Attractive people are more likely to get jobs. D. People feeling more attractive are more generous. 9. What can we infer about the traditional halo effect? A. It mainly determined others’ hiring decisions. B. It could only influence people’s own behavior. C. It had nothing to do with attractiveness at all. D. It brought positive treatment to attractive people. 10. What does the author suggest readers do before an important event? A. Choose the most fashionable outfit available. B. Focus on how others will judge their appearance. C. Select clothing that helps them behave at their best. D. Avoid dressing too formally to seem approachable. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Build Confidence to Get Recognized B. Dress Well to Boost Self and Behavior C. Present Oneself Well to Impress Others D. Wear Beautiful Clothes to Be Successful D Just a few years ago, agricultural drones (无人机) were expensive, small and difficult to use, limiting their appeal to farmers. In contrast, today’s models can be flown immediately after purchase and carry loads weighing up to 220 pounds — the weight of two sacks of fertilizer (肥料). Agricultural drones are now similar to flying tractors. They can perform numerous tasks using different hardware attachments. Common uses for drones on farms include spraying crops, spreading fertilizer, sowing seeds, transporting produce, monitoring livestock locations and well-being. This wide range of use makes drones valuable for growing numerous crops, on farms of all sizes. China leads the world in agricultural drone manufacturing and adoption. In 2016, a Chinese company introduced the first agriculture-specific drone. There are now more than250,000 agricultural drones reported to be in use there. Other middle-income countries have also been enthusiastic adopters. For instance, drones were used on 30% of Thailand’s farmland in 2023, up from almost none in 2019. In the U.S., the number of agricultural drones registered with the Federal Aviation Administration leaped from about 1,000 in January 2024to around 5,500 in mid-2025. Apart from saving farmers time and money, drones may also help make agriculture more attractive to rural youth, who are disillusioned with the hardship and boredom of traditional farming. In addition, drones create new skilled employment opportunities in rural areas for pilots, many of whom are young people. Drones spray and spread fertilizers and seeds evenly and efficiently, so that less is wasted. They may also reduce damage to crops in the field and consume less energy. These factors may increase the amount of food that can be produced on each acre of land. However, much of the evidence so far on yield (产量) gains from drone-assisted farming is based on individual accounts, or on small studies or industry reports. Although early signs point to big benefits: greater efficiency, safer working conditions and improved rural livelihoods, the full picture isn’t clear yet. 12.

She brought along her daughter, Ella, who was 5 years old at the time. One evening, near the end of the visit, Lisa, her daughter and the school group were on a platform in the London Underground getting ready to head to their next destination. It was 5p.m. and the station was packed. Lisa took hold of Ella’s hand and began counting her students. Just then, a train pulled up to the platform. Suddenly, her daughter let go of her hand. She was pushed onto the wrong train in the rush of people and the doors began to close. As the train gathered speed, she ran alongside trying to force the door open by digging her fingers into the black rubber gasket (垫圈). On the other side of the glass, she could see her daughter’s panicked face. The last thing she saw before the train pulled out of the station was Ella crying. Behind her, a young man dressed in black leather with a spiked collar (钉刺项图) around his neck rose from his seat and started moving toward Ella. Terrified, Lisa turned to a railway station worker for help. The man she found was not a native English speaker, which made explaining her situation difficult. She was so shocked, too frightened to cry, too focused on getting this man to understand her request for help, but in vain. At that moment, her mind raced with horrific images. The man in black leather, whose spiked collar was a symbol of danger, was moving toward her helpless child. She was certain he meant to harm Ella. Every image was tearing her apart: her daughter’s terrified little face pressed against the glass, while that figure moved through the rocking carriage — every step seemed to crush her heart. 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。 Suddenly, one of Lisa’s students appeared at her shoulder and said, “Ella’s back, and there she was.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Lisa looked up again to thank him, the young man was gone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
