Nodding your head usually means “YES”. Especially in Japan, nodding and bowing are the ways that locals show their agreement and respect. But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means “NO”. Strong eye contact is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab (阿拉伯的) countries. However, in Finland and Japan, too much eye contact is considered rude. To avoid embarrassment, they often look at the other person’s neck or shoulders instead. Tapping your nose means “secret” in England while it means “be careful” in Italy. In many cultures, like Italy and the U.S., people use their arms freely when talking. However, Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing with their arms. They think it is too dramatic (戏剧化的). Similarly, in Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite. The “thumbs up” sign is another interesting example. In the U.S., it usually means “good job” or “everything is okay”. But in some Middle-Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran, this gesture is very offensive. It’s like a very bad word. Understanding these differences helps us avoid misunderstandings. When you travel or talk to someone from a different culture, pay attention to their body language. You can make a big difference in how well you communicate! 36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Nodding one’s head means “Yes” in Greece. B. It is polite to look at a person’s eyes when talking with him in Finland. C. By tapping his nose, an Englishman means: “It’s between you and me.” D. Gesturing with broad arm movements is popular in both America and Japan. 37. In which picture, the “thumbs up” gesture is not suitable? A. B. C. D. 38. The author wrote the article to _______. A. ask readers to use more body language B. help readers better understand people from other cultures C. show readers the importance of body language D. suggest readers make a big difference in communication B Zhai Yuliang becomes extra busy whenever the holidays are around the corner. The Beijinger, in his 60s, has just finished a pair of palace lanterns for a courtyard home in the capital. “The owner wants every part of them to be done in the old-fashioned way, so that they will fit perfectly with the grand style of their historical house,” says Zhai, who has practiced the craft for more than four decades. One of the most popular styles, which is also Zhai’s favorite, is the double-layered octagonal (八角形的) palace lantern. It’s full of Chinese elements, and features dragon heads and many other specific patterns. However, he stresses the essential elements to be classified as palace lanterns—hand-painted scenes and Chinese knots (中国结) as decoration. Most importantly, they must be created using the specific techniques, which require over 100 steps. To make a palace lantern, a single craftsman has to do everything from the woodwork to the painting. “It takes months to make a palace lantern,” Zhai says. “It requires the skills of a woodworker, the knowledge of a mechanic, an appreciation of classical architecture, poetry, painting and an additional talent for mortise-and-tenon joints (榫卯) by hand before they can create the right carvings and layer combinations.” Zhai has received many invitations from communities and institutes to show the charm of palace lanterns. He particularly enjoys hosting workshops where he teaches people to make lanterns themselves. He is enchanted to see the smiles of children and the expressions of adults when they complete their works under his guidance. He believes his lifelong devotion to this craft has been worthwhile. His lanterns can be seen in such locations as the Tian’anmen Square and many overseas sites that promote friendship with China. “Wherever you are, when you see a palace lantern, you know there’s a connection to China,” Zhai says. 39. What is a must for a palace lantern? A. A dragon head in grand style. B. Application of over 100 techniques. C. Hand-painted scenes and Chinese knots. D. A double-layered octagonal pattern. 40. Which of the following best describes the process of making a palace lantern? A. Boring. B. Efficient. C. Creative. D. Challenging. 41. The underlined word “enchanted” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________. A. surprised B. confused C. pleased D. stressed 42. Which statement about palace lanterns may Zhai Yuliang agree with? A. They bring him fame and fortune. B. They act as a cultural link to China. C. They’re well preserved in overseas locations. D. They connect him with many other craftsmen. C The number of monarch butterflies spending the winter in the western United States has fallen to its second-lowest level in nearly 30 years, according to a recent survey. Pesticides (农药), habitat loss and climate change are threatening this beloved pollinator (传粉昆虫), known for its striking orange-and-black wings. The survey, conducted by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, began in 1997. It tracked monarch populations along the California coast, northern Baja California, and inland sites in California and Arizona. In 2024, only 9,119 monarchs were counted, a 96% decrease from 233,394 in 2023. This is the second-lowest number since the survey started, with the record low being 1,901 monarchs in 2020. For example, a site in Santa Barbara that hosted 33, 200 monarchs last winter saw only 198 this year. Monarchs face multiple threats, including the disappearance of milkweed, the plant essential for their youngsters. Drought, wildfires, agriculture, and urban development have reduced milkweed availability, while pesticides have poisoned much of what remains. Additionally, extreme heat in 2023 may have harmed the butterflies. Temperatures above 37.7℃ slow monarch breeding (繁殖), and anything above 42.2℃ is lethal. Last summer, parts of the western US experienced record-breaking heat, with Palm Springs reaching 51.1℃ in July. Despite the alarming decline, there is hope. Monarch populations had recovered before. After hitting a low of 1,901 in 2020, the number increased to 247,246 in 2021. Emma Pelton, an endangered species biologist with the Xerces Society, emphasized that while the 2024 drop is concerning, it serves as a wake-up call to protect these insects. Efforts are underway to safeguard monarchs. In December 2024, the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing monarchs as a threatened species, which would protect their habitats and restrict harmful activities. A public comment period on the proposal ends in March, with a decision expected by December. Additionally, environmental groups like Earthjustice are pushing for stricter regulations on pesticides to protect monarchs and other pollinators. In summary, the dramatic decline in monarch butterfly populations highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts to address habitat loss, climate change and pesticide use. With united action, there is still hope to save these iconic insects. 43. What do the figures in paragraph 2 suggest? A. The consistent breeding conditions. B. A severe drop in monarch populations. C. The success of wildlife regulations. D. A failure in conservation measures. 44. What are the factors leading to the reduction of milkweed? ①drought ②wildfires ③agriculture and urban development ④extreme heat A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①②③ D. ①②③④ 45. What specific action is Earthjustice advocating to protect monarch butterflies? A. Tougher regulations on pesticide usage. B. Relocating monarchs to cooler climates. C. Funding for urban milkweed plantations. D. Restricting agricultural expansion in California. 46. What can be inferred about monarch butterflies? A. They’ll recover quickly on their own. B. Milkweed will be sufficient for them. C. They’ll keep decreasing without efforts. D. habitat loss isn’t a major issue for them. D Can science fiction tell us about the future? Setting aside aliens and spaceships, much contemporary science fiction is concerned with themes such as the impact of artificial intelligence, the danger of ecological collapse and the misuse of corporate power. In all these cases, science fiction writers are taking advantage of the freedom that this type of writing gives them to think about ongoing concerns and picture what they might lead to in the future, coming to surprising and thought-provoking conclusions. All of those do have some predictive value. It means science fiction can play a useful role as a way to predict technological, social and political trends— but in the near term, not the distant future in which it is often set. This is the first of three ways in which science fiction can give us a glimpse of the future. The second is that it can help broaden the mind when assessing future scenarios (设想) for planning purposes, both in government and in business. France’s Defence Innovation Agency is setting up a “red team” of sci-fi writers to propose scenarios that might not have occurred to military planners. Arup, an engineering firm, commissioned Tim Maughan, a science-fiction writer, to create four scenarios of what everyday life might look like as a result of climate change. Tech giants including Google, Microsoft and Apple have also employed sci-fi writers as consultants, using a process sometimes called “design fiction.” And then the third one is more direct: by inspiring people in the tech industry who want to make these fictions a reality. The creation of the mobile phone at Motorola was motivated by the handheld wireless communicators from Star Trek, and Amazon’s Alexa voice-assistant by the talking computer on the Enterprise. The Kindle was inspired by an electronic-book device in Neal Stephenson’s novel The Diamond Age, and an entire industry is trying to bring to life the virtual world he described in Snow Crash. The future technology leaders are certainly reading science fiction today. 47. What does the author think of science fiction? A. It focuses mainly on aliens and spaceships. B. It explores current issues to imagine the future. C. It addresses the contemporary existing problems. D. It aims to predict technological progress in the future. 48. Why do the government and the business hire sci-fi writers? A. To give support to their creations. B. To better understand science fiction. C. To benefit from their expansive imagination. D. To enhance their influence and commercial value. 49. How does the last paragraph show the impact of science fiction? A. By listing main points. B. By giving examples C. By analyzing causes. D. By explaining a concept. 50. What is the main idea about the text? A. Why is science fiction gaining popularity? B. Science fiction provides insights into the future. C. How does science fiction broaden people’s vision? D. Science fiction serves as an inspiration for inventions. 第二节 阅读填空（5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） Some of the jobs which were common fifty years ago are almost not seen now, and some that are popular today may disappear in twenty years. ___51___ Space tour guide People have been expecting an exciting travel in space. ___52___ Anyone who wants to see the Sun rising and setting over the Earth will be able to take trips to space.

The environmental club members suggested ________ plastic bottles for their recycling project to reduce waste. A. collect B. collected C. to collect D. collecting 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：环保俱乐部的成员们建议为他们的项目回收塑料瓶，以减少浪费。 考查非谓语动词。collect收集，动词原形；collected过去式和过去分词形式；to collect动词不定式形式；collecting现在分词和动名词形式。“suggest”常见的用法为“suggest doing sth.”，意为“建议做某事”，其后接动名词作宾语。根据“suggested”以及“suggest doing sth.”的用法可知，这里应该用“collecting”。故选D。 2. —Driving less and walking more is good for our health. —So I prefer ________ an hour’s walk to work rather than ________ a car. A. to take; drive B. to take; driving C. taking; drive D. taking; driving 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——少开车多走路对我们的健康有好处。——所以我宁愿走一小时的路去上班，而不愿开车。 考查非谓语动词。根据分析句子“So I prefer…an hour’s walk to work rather than…a car.”可知，此处考查：prefer to do sth rather than do sth，固定搭配，意为“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”符合语境，所以第一空应该填入不定式，作宾语；第二空应该填入动词原形。故选A。 3. — Do you have any plan for the 3-day holiday? — The 15th Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival ________ at Gucun Park. Would you like to go with me? A. is held B. holds C. will be held D. will hold 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 你三天假期有什么计划吗？ —— 第十五届上海樱花节将在顾村公园举行。你愿意和我一起去吗？ 考查时态和被动语态。根据“The 15th Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival”可知，主语是活动，和举行之间是被动关系，且是一般将来时。故选C。 4. —Although new things are liked by many young people, the traditional things should also ________. —You are right. I will keep my tiger-head shoes made by my grandma well. A. value B. be valuing C. have valued D. be valued 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——虽然许多年轻人喜欢新事物，但传统的东西也应该受到重视。——你说得对。我会好好保存奶奶做的虎头鞋。 考查动词语态。根据“the traditional things”可知，它们应该是被重视的对象，所以应该用被动语态“be+过去分词”，设空处前有should，所以是“should be done”。故选D。 5. —You don’t know how hard it is ___________ these two tickets. —But the film is really worth ___________ twice. A. to get; to see B. to get; seeing C. getting; to see D. getting; seeing 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你不知道买这两张票有多难。——但这部电影真的值得看两遍。 考查非谓语动词。it is+adj. to do sth.“做某事是……的”，是固定句式，所以第一个空用不定式to get；be worth doing sth.“值得做某事”，是固定搭配。故选B。 6. It was brave ________ him ________ into the fire to save the child. A. of; rushed B. for; to rush C. of; to rush D. for; rushing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他冲进火里去救那个孩子，真勇敢。 考查介词和非谓语动词。根据“It was brave…him…into the fire to save the child.”可知，该句型为It is+形容词+of/for sb+to do sth。本句中brave表示“勇敢的”是描述him的性格品质，所以用of sb，该句型中后面要用动词不定式to rush。故选C。 7. — What a _______ rain! — It has rained _______ since last night. A. heavily; heavy B. hardly; hard C. heavy; heavily D. hard; hardly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 好大的雨啊！—— 从昨晚开始雨就一直下得很大。 考查形容词和副词用法。heavily大量地，猛烈地，副词；heavy重的，大的，形容词；hardly几乎不，副词；hard努力地，副词。第一句是感叹句What a + 形容词 + 可数名词单数结构 ，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词rain，heavy rain表示“大雨”；第二空根据“It has rained”可知，表示雨下得很大，修饰动词应该用副词，rain heavily表示“雨下得大”。故选C。 8. Generally speaking, the more you pay, _______ you will get better service. A. the more easily B. the easier C. the harder D. the more hardly 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：一般来说，你付的钱越多，你就会越容易得到更好的服务。 考查副词比较级。根据“the more you pay”可知此处是“the + 比较级，the + 比较级”的结构，表示“越……，越……”。这里需要用副词的比较级来修饰动词get，此处表达的是付的钱越多，越容易得到更好的服务，easily的比较级是more easily，故选A。 9. —What shall we do to kill time this afternoon? —Well, ________ it’s Star Cinema’s half-price day today, why not go to watch a film? A. since B. though C. unless D. until 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们今天下午做什么来消磨时间呢？ ——好吧，既然今天是星空影院的半价日，为什么不去看电影呢？ since既然，因为；though虽然，尽管；unless除非；until直到……为止。分析句子结构可知，“it’s Star Cinema’s half-price day today”是“why not go to watch a film”的原因，应使用since引导原因状语从句。 10. —I called you at 8:00 last night, but you didn’t answer. What’s up? —Oh, I ________ a live stream (直播) about AI development on my computer. A. watch B. watched C. was watching D. am watching 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——昨晚8点我给你打电话，但你没接。怎么了？——哦，我当时正在电脑上看一场关于AI发展的直播。 考查动词的时态。根据“at 8:00 last night”可知，接电话时“看直播”这一动作正在进行，需用过去进行时，其构成为was/were doing。故选C。 第二节 语法选择（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） In Gastonia, North Carolina, there’s a heartwarming story about a dog ____11____ Bo.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述警犬Bo因英勇事迹获得2024年美国人道英雄犬奖，介绍它与警官合作救助失踪人员及抓捕罪犯的感人故事。 【11题详解】 句意：在北卡罗来纳州加斯托尼亚，有一个关于一只名叫Bo的狗的暖心故事。 句子已有谓语动词there is，空格处需要非谓语作后置定语修饰dog；dog和name是被动关系（狗被叫做Bo），因此用过去分词named。 【12题详解】 句意：这只18个月大的警犬赢得了2024年美国人道英雄犬奖，它已经声名远扬。 空格后是名词短语“police dog”，需要形容词修饰；“数词+名词+形容词”构成的复合形容词作定语时，需加连字符，且名词用单数形式，因此18-month-old符合规则。 【13题详解】 句意：Bo超强的嗅觉帮助它找到失踪的人并抓住罪犯。 help sb. (to) do sth.为固定搭配，意为“帮助某人做某事”，此处用动词原形find。 【14题详解】 句意：自2023年10月加入警队以来，Bo已经完成了一些令人惊叹的事迹。 “Since joining the force in October 2023, Bo...some amazing things.”表明，since+过去时间点是现在完成时的标志，表示动作从过去持续到现在，结构为have/has+过去分词；主语Bo是第三人称单数，因此用has done。 【15题详解】 句意：他找到了一位有记忆问题的走失老人和一个患有自闭症的小男孩。 此处泛指“一位迷路的老人”，用不定冠词；lost以辅音音素开头，因此用a。 【16题详解】 句意：在一桩棘手的案件中，即便周围有很多其他气味干扰，Bo还是嗅出了抢劫嫌疑人。 空后“smells (气味)”为复数名词，other修饰复数名词表示“其他的”，符合“很多其他气味”的语境。another泛指三者以上的“另一个”，修饰单数名词；the other特指两者中的另一个；others是代词，不能修饰名词。 【17题详解】 句意：正如罗兰警官常说的，这足以证明警犬的鼻子有多灵敏。 此处为感叹句结构作宾语从句，中心词是形容词“great”，因此用how，结构为how+形容词+主语+系动词。感叹句中what修饰名词，故排除。 【18题详解】 句意：在2024年1月一个寒冷的下午，Bo穿越数英里的崎岖地带，追踪一名走失的老年病人。 空后为“a cold afternoon in January 2024”，具体到某一天的下午，介词应用on。at加具体时刻，in加月份/季节/泛指的上下午。 【19题详解】 句意：在2024年1月一个寒冷的下午，Bo穿越数英里的崎岖地带，追踪一名走失的老年病人。 此处形容病人状态为“失踪的”，应用形容词missing。 【20题详解】 句意：当Bo找到他时，每个人都非常高兴。 不定代词“Everyone”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式；整个故事描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，因此选was。 【21题详解】 句意：2024年5月，Bo再次展现勇敢，当时它找到了一名被绑架的儿童并将他安全带回。 此处表示“Bo找到被绑儿童时再次展现勇敢”，when“在……时候”，引导时间状语从句，符合语境。if“如果”，until“直到”和unless“除非”都不符合逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：2024年5月，Bo再次展现勇敢，当时它找到了一名被绑架的儿童并将他安全带回。 空格处修饰动词短语“brought him back”，需要用副词，safely是副词，表示“平安地”，符合用法；safety是名词，save是动词，safe是形容词，均不符合。 【23题详解】 句意：因为它的出色事迹，Bo将于2024年11月15日在佛罗里达州棕榈滩举办的第14届年度美国人道英雄犬奖上受到表彰。 此处表示“因为它的出色事迹”，需用形容词性物主代词作定语，his“它的”符合。him是宾格，himself是反身代词，he是主格，均不符合。 【24题详解】 句意：这份认可实至名归，不仅因为Bo取得的成绩，也因为它每天为社区奉献的精神。 “not only for Bo’s achievements...for the dedication”表明，not only…but (also)…意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。 【25题详解】 句意：我没想到我们会赢。 主句谓语“didn’t expect”是一般过去时，宾语从句需要和主句时态呼应，用过去将来时，结构为would+动词原形。 第三节 完型填空（共10小题；每小题1分。满分10分） On 23 February 2025, a special game took place in Shanghai for autistic (患自闭症的) children, who are sometimes called “children of the stars” in China. 15 families with autistic children ___26___ in Shanghai for a special floor hockey (曲棍球) match. 40 volunteers around the world also took part in it.

That was a really fun moment for me,’ she said.”可知，这件是对志愿者和自闭症儿童都有深远的影响。故选B。 【33题详解】 句意：起初他们看起来很害羞，但玩了之后他们变得舒适和快乐。 shy害羞的；tired困倦的；angry生气的；active积极的。根据“but they became comfortable and happy after playing.”可知，自闭症儿童期初是害羞的。故选A。 【34题详解】 句意：有时候我们在生活中过于认真，但重要的是要记住，在内心，我们仍然是喜欢玩耍的孩子。 scared害怕的；curious好奇的；serious认真的；careless粗心的。根据“but it’s important to remember that inside, we’re still kids who like to play.”可知，重要的是要保持童心，but表示转折关系，因此此处指不要过于认真。故选C。 【35题详解】 句意：不是每个人都有机会做志愿者，但通过展现更多的善意，我们的努力真的很重要。 selling卖出；showing展现；receiving收到；recording记录。根据“but our efforts really matter by... more kindness.”可知，此处指展示对他人的善意。故选B。 第四节 阅读（满分35分） 第一节 阅读理解（4篇，共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A Body language is a very important part of communication, but do you know the same gesture can mean different things in different countries? Nodding your head usually means “YES”. Especially in Japan, nodding and bowing are the ways that locals show their agreement and respect. But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means “NO”. Strong eye contact is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab (阿拉伯的) countries. However, in Finland and Japan, too much eye contact is considered rude. To avoid embarrassment, they often look at the other person’s neck or shoulders instead. Tapping your nose means “secret” in England while it means “be careful” in Italy. In many cultures, like Italy and the U.S., people use their arms freely when talking. However, Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing with their arms. They think it is too dramatic (戏剧化的). Similarly, in Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite. The “thumbs up” sign is another interesting example. In the U.S., it usually means “good job” or “everything is okay”. But in some Middle-Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran, this gesture is very offensive. It’s like a very bad word. Understanding these differences helps us avoid misunderstandings. When you travel or talk to someone from a different culture, pay attention to their body language. You can make a big difference in how well you communicate! 36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Nodding one’s head means “Yes” in Greece. B. It is polite to look at a person’s eyes when talking with him in Finland. C. By tapping his nose, an Englishman means: “It’s between you and me.” D. Gesturing with broad arm movements is popular in both America and Japan. 37. In which picture, the “thumbs up” gesture is not suitable? A. B. C. D. 38. The author wrote the article to _______. A. ask readers to use more body language B. help readers better understand people from other cultures C. show readers the importance of body language D. suggest readers make a big difference in communication 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了肢体语言在不同文化中的差异，强调了同一手势在不同国家可能具有不同的含义。 【36题详解】 根据表格第三行“Tapping your nose means ‘secret’ in England...”可知，在英国，轻点鼻子意思是“秘密”，即只有你我二人知道。 【37题详解】 根据表格第五行“But in some Middle-Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran, this gesture is very offensive.”可知，但在沙特阿拉伯、埃及和伊朗等一些中东国家，竖大拇指非常无礼。 【38题详解】 根据“Body language is a very important part of communication, but do you know the same gesture can mean different things in different countries?”及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了肢体语言在不同文化中的差异，强调了同一手势在不同国家可能具有不同的含义，故作者写这篇文章是帮助读者更好地理解来自其他文化的人。 B Zhai Yuliang becomes extra busy whenever the holidays are around the corner. The Beijinger, in his 60s, has just finished a pair of palace lanterns for a courtyard home in the capital. “The owner wants every part of them to be done in the old-fashioned way, so that they will fit perfectly with the grand style of their historical house,” says Zhai, who has practiced the craft for more than four decades. One of the most popular styles, which is also Zhai’s favorite, is the double-layered octagonal (八角形的) palace lantern. It’s full of Chinese elements, and features dragon heads and many other specific patterns. However, he stresses the essential elements to be classified as palace lanterns—hand-painted scenes and Chinese knots (中国结) as decoration. Most importantly, they must be created using the specific techniques, which require over 100 steps. To make a palace lantern, a single craftsman has to do everything from the woodwork to the painting. “It takes months to make a palace lantern,” Zhai says. “It requires the skills of a woodworker, the knowledge of a mechanic, an appreciation of classical architecture, poetry, painting and an additional talent for mortise-and-tenon joints (榫卯) by hand before they can create the right carvings and layer combinations.” Zhai has received many invitations from communities and institutes to show the charm of palace lanterns. He particularly enjoys hosting workshops where he teaches people to make lanterns themselves. He is enchanted to see the smiles of children and the expressions of adults when they complete their works under his guidance. He believes his lifelong devotion to this craft has been worthwhile. His lanterns can be seen in such locations as the Tian’anmen Square and many overseas sites that promote friendship with China. “Wherever you are, when you see a palace lantern, you know there’s a connection to China,” Zhai says. 39. What is a must for a palace lantern? A. A dragon head in grand style. B. Application of over 100 techniques. C. Hand-painted scenes and Chinese knots. D. A double-layered octagonal pattern. 40. Which of the following best describes the process of making a palace lantern? A. Boring. B. Efficient. C. Creative. D. Challenging. 41. The underlined word “enchanted” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________. A. surprised B. confused C. pleased D. stressed 42. Which statement about palace lanterns may Zhai Yuliang agree with? A. They bring him fame and fortune. B. They act as a cultural link to China. C. They’re well preserved in overseas locations. D. They connect him with many other craftsmen. 【答案】39. C 40. D 41. C 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了翟玉良与中国传统工艺“宫灯”，强调宫灯文化的重要性。 【39题详解】 根据第三段“However, he stresses the essential elements to be classified as palace lanterns—hand-painted scenes and Chinese knots (中国结) as decoration.”可知，手绘场景和作为装饰的中国结是宫灯的基本要素。 【40题详解】 根据第四段“It takes months to make a palace lantern,”和“It requires the skills of a woodworker, the knowledge of a mechanic, an appreciation of classical architecture, poetry, painting and an additional talent for mortise-and-tenon joints (榫卯) by hand before they can create the right carvings and layer combinations.”可知，制作宫灯需要耗时数月，且工匠需要掌握木工技能、机械知识、古典建筑欣赏、诗歌绘画以及手工榫卯等多种能力，这说明制作过程非常复杂且要求高，Challenging“具有挑战性的”最能概括这一过程。 【41题详解】 根据第五段“see the smiles of children”可知，在这种语境下，看到学员完成作品后的微笑，他的心情应该是愉悦和高兴的，pleased“高兴的”与enchanted在此处的含义最接近。 【42题详解】 根据最后一段“Wherever you are, when you see a palace lantern, you know there’s a connection to China,”可知， 翟玉良认为宫灯是中国文化的纽带。 C The number of monarch butterflies spending the winter in the western United States has fallen to its second-lowest level in nearly 30 years, according to a recent survey. Pesticides (农药), habitat loss and climate change are threatening this beloved pollinator (传粉昆虫), known for its striking orange-and-black wings. The survey, conducted by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, began in 1997. It tracked monarch populations along the California coast, northern Baja California, and inland sites in California and Arizona. In 2024, only 9,119 monarchs were counted, a 96% decrease from 233,394 in 2023. This is the second-lowest number since the survey started, with the record low being 1,901 monarchs in 2020. For example, a site in Santa Barbara that hosted 33, 200 monarchs last winter saw only 198 this year. Monarchs face multiple threats, including the disappearance of milkweed, the plant essential for their youngsters. Drought, wildfires, agriculture, and urban development have reduced milkweed availability, while pesticides have poisoned much of what remains. Additionally, extreme heat in 2023 may have harmed the butterflies. Temperatures above 37.7℃ slow monarch breeding (繁殖), and anything above 42.2℃ is lethal. Last summer, parts of the western US experienced record-breaking heat, with Palm Springs reaching 51.1℃ in July. Despite the alarming decline, there is hope. Monarch populations had recovered before. After hitting a low of 1,901 in 2020, the number increased to 247,246 in 2021. Emma Pelton, an endangered species biologist with the Xerces Society, emphasized that while the 2024 drop is concerning, it serves as a wake-up call to protect these insects. Efforts are underway to safeguard monarchs. In December 2024, the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing monarchs as a threatened species, which would protect their habitats and restrict harmful activities. A public comment period on the proposal ends in March, with a decision expected by December. Additionally, environmental groups like Earthjustice are pushing for stricter regulations on pesticides to protect monarchs and other pollinators. In summary, the dramatic decline in monarch butterfly populations highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts to address habitat loss, climate change and pesticide use. With united action, there is still hope to save these iconic insects. 43. What do the figures in paragraph 2 suggest? A. The consistent breeding conditions. B. A severe drop in monarch populations. C. The success of wildlife regulations. D. A failure in conservation measures. 44. What are the factors leading to the reduction of milkweed? ①drought ②wildfires ③agriculture and urban development ④extreme heat A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①②③ D. ①②③④ 45. What specific action is Earthjustice advocating to protect monarch butterflies? A. Tougher regulations on pesticide usage. B. Relocating monarchs to cooler climates. C. Funding for urban milkweed plantations. D. Restricting agricultural expansion in California. 46. What can be inferred about monarch butterflies? A. They’ll recover quickly on their own. B. Milkweed will be sufficient for them. C. They’ll keep decreasing without efforts. D. habitat loss isn’t a major issue for them. 【答案】43. B 44. C 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍黑脉金斑蝶种群数量大幅锐减的现状，分析乳草减少、极端高温、农药等多重生存威胁，同时介绍了官方与环保组织出台的保护措施，呼吁共同行动挽救这一标志性昆虫。 【43题详解】 第二段数据：2023年233394只，2024年仅9119只，降幅96%，是调查启动以来第二低数值，说明种群数量严重下降。 【44题详解】 原文第三段“Drought, wildfires, agriculture, and urban development have reduced milkweed availability”，导致乳草减少的因素是①干旱、②山火、③农业与城市发展；extreme heat“极端高温”，直接伤害蝴蝶，并非减少乳草。对应①②③。 【45题详解】 原文第五段“environmental groups like Earthjustice are pushing for stricter regulations on pesticides”，该环保组织倡导出台更严格的农药使用管控法规。 【46题详解】 文章首尾均强调栖息地消失、农药、气候变化持续威胁蝶群，若无保护行动，数量会持续下滑。 D Can science fiction tell us about the future? Setting aside aliens and spaceships, much contemporary science fiction is concerned with themes such as the impact of artificial intelligence, the danger of ecological collapse and the misuse of corporate power. In all these cases, science fiction writers are taking advantage of the freedom that this type of writing gives them to think about ongoing concerns and picture what they might lead to in the future, coming to surprising and thought-provoking conclusions. All of those do have some predictive value. It means science fiction can play a useful role as a way to predict technological, social and political trends— but in the near term, not the distant future in which it is often set. This is the first of three ways in which science fiction can give us a glimpse of the future. The second is that it can help broaden the mind when assessing future scenarios (设想) for planning purposes, both in government and in business. France’s Defence Innovation Agency is setting up a “red team” of sci-fi writers to propose scenarios that might not have occurred to military planners. Arup, an engineering firm, commissioned Tim Maughan, a science-fiction writer, to create four scenarios of what everyday life might look like as a result of climate change. Tech giants including Google, Microsoft and Apple have also employed sci-fi writers as consultants, using a process sometimes called “design fiction.” And then the third one is more direct: by inspiring people in the tech industry who want to make these fictions a reality. The creation of the mobile phone at Motorola was motivated by the handheld wireless communicators from Star Trek, and Amazon’s Alexa voice-assistant by the talking computer on the Enterprise. The Kindle was inspired by an electronic-book device in Neal Stephenson’s novel The Diamond Age, and an entire industry is trying to bring to life the virtual world he described in Snow Crash. The future technology leaders are certainly reading science fiction today. 47. What does the author think of science fiction? A. It focuses mainly on aliens and spaceships. B. It explores current issues to imagine the future. C. It addresses the contemporary existing problems. D. It aims to predict technological progress in the future. 48. Why do the government and the business hire sci-fi writers? A. To give support to their creations. B. To better understand science fiction. C. To benefit from their expansive imagination. D. To enhance their influence and commercial value. 49. How does the last paragraph show the impact of science fiction? A. By listing main points. B. By giving examples C. By analyzing causes. D. By explaining a concept. 50. What is the main idea about the text? A. Why is science fiction gaining popularity? B. Science fiction provides insights into the future. C. How does science fiction broaden people’s vision? D. Science fiction serves as an inspiration for inventions. 【答案】47. B 48. C 49. B 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了科幻作品是否能预见未来这一问题，并阐述了科幻小说预见未来的三种方式。 【47题详解】 根据第一段“science fiction writers are taking advantage of the freedom that this type of writing gives them to think about ongoing concerns and picture what they might lead to in the future”可知，作者认为科幻作家通过思考当前关注的问题来想象未来，选项B“探索当前问题以想象未来”与此意相符。 【48题详解】 根据第三段“The second is that it can help broaden the mind when assessing future scenarios (设想) for planning purposes, both in government and in business. France’s Defence Innovation Agency is setting up a “red team” of sci-fi writers to propose scenarios that might not have occurred to military planners.”可知，政府和企业雇佣科幻作家是为了拓宽思维，利用他们提出规划者未曾想到的情景，即从他们广阔的想象力中受益。 【49题详解】 文章第四段列举了摩托罗拉手机（Motorola mobile phone）、亚马逊语音助手（Amazon's Alexa）、Kindle 电子阅读器以及《雪崩》中的虚拟世界等多个具体实例，来说明科幻小说对科技行业的启发作用。这是通过举例来展示影响。 【50题详解】 文章第二段、第三段和第四段分别阐述了科幻小说预见未来的三种方式：预测近期趋势、辅助战略规划、直接启发技术创新。全文围绕科幻小说如何帮助人类洞察未来展开。选项B“科幻小说提供对未来的洞察”最能概括全文主旨。 第二节 阅读填空（5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） Some of the jobs which were common fifty years ago are almost not seen now, and some that are popular today may disappear in twenty years. ___51___ Space tour guide People have been expecting an exciting travel in space. ___52___ Anyone who wants to see the Sun rising and setting over the Earth will be able to take trips to space.

Directed##irected 57. born##orn 58. different##ifferent 59. challenges##hallenges 60. matters##atters 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了动画电影《哪吒》的故事情节以及电影所传达的价值观。 【56题详解】 句意：由杨宇执导的热门动画电影《哪吒》改编自中国古代经典神话。根据“by Yang Yu”可知，此处说的是电影的导演，movie是动作的承受者，要用动词direct“导演”的过去分词directed作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。 【57题详解】 句意：故事讲述了一个名叫哪吒的男孩，他天生拥有神奇的力量，却遭到村民的恐惧与排斥。根据“is b... with magical powers”可知，哪吒天生具有神奇的力量，be born with“天生具有”。 【58题详解】 句意：尽管人们认为他是个怪物，但哪吒决心证明自己与他们的想象不同。根据“he’s d... from their expectations”可知，哪吒想证明自己与他们想象中的不同，be different from“与……不同”，形容词短语。 【59题详解】 句意：他面临诸多挑战，包括一场猛烈的雷灾。根据“including a powerful lightning disaster”可知，此处是说哪吒面临的挑战，challenge“挑战”，要用复数形式challenges表示泛指。 【60题详解】 句意：影片告诉我们，真正重要的是你如何看待自己，而不是别人如何看你。根据“The film teaches us that what truly m... is...”此处指“真正重要的是”，主语是what，谓语用第三人称单数形式，结合首字母m填matters，表示“重要”。 第二节 词形转换（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 61. The sudden ________(appear) of a rainbow after the rain made everyone smile. 【答案】 appearance 【解析】 【详解】句意：雨后彩虹的突然出现让每个人都笑了。空前有形容词sudden，空后有介词短语of a rainbow，空处缺少中心名词；appear是动词，需变为名词appearance，构成完整的名词短语“the sudden appearance of a rainbow”。前有定冠词the，表示特定的一次“出现”，appearance用单数形式，故填appearance。 62. Effective ________ (communicate) helps solve misunderstandings between friends. 【答案】 communication 【解析】 【详解】句意：有效的沟通有助于解决朋友之间的误解。communicate“交流，沟通”，动词；Effective是形容词，形容词后需要接名词，communicate的名词形式是communication。 63. The organizer had no choice but ________ (explain) the reason why the activity was canceled. 【答案】 to explain 【解析】 【详解】句意：组织者别无选择，只能解释活动被取消的原因。固定搭配“have no choice but to do sth.”，意为“别无选择，只能做某事”，but后需接带to的动词不定式，因此动词explain“解释”应变为不定式形式to explain，故填to explain。 64. The ________ (frighten) cat climbed up the tree when it saw the dog running to it quickly. 【答案】 frightened 【解析】 【详解】句意：这只受惊的猫看到狗飞快地朝它跑来，立刻爬上了树。结合“The…cat”可知，空处需填形容词修饰空后名词，“when it saw the dog running to it quickly”表明，猫是感到害怕的，受惊的，提示词frighten“使害怕”，动词，其形容词形式为frightened，可以修饰人或动物，符合题意。 65. After discussion, we decided to work on the project ________ (separate) and then combine our ideas. 【答案】 separately 【解析】 【详解】句意：经过讨论，我们决定先分别开展项目，然后再整合我们的想法。separate“单独的，分开的”，修饰动词短语“work on”要用副词形式separately“分别地”。 第三节 完成句子（共20空；每空0.5分，满分10分） 根据所给的汉语内容，用英语完成下列句子。（每空限填一词） 66. 各个学习小组都忙于为保护濒危动物的陈述做准备。 Every study group was ________ ________ ________ the presentation about protecting the ________ animals. 【答案】 ①. busy ②. preparing ③. for ④. endangered 【解析】 【详解】原句中的“忙于”以及“濒危”和“做准备”是关键词，be busy doing sth“忙于做某事”；prepare for“为……做准备”，prepare的动名词形式为preparing；endangered“濒危的”，形容词作定语修饰animals。 67. 艾玛认为所有的组员们一起合作是非常有必要的。 Emma thought that ________ ________ ________ for all the team members ________ work together. 【答案】 ①. it ②. was ③. necessary ④. to 【解析】 【详解】原句使用宾语从句，核心句型为it is+形容词+for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说做某事是……的”；主句时态为一般过去时thought，从句时态对应变为一般过去时，be动词用was；it作形式主语，necessary表示“有必要的”，to后接动词原形。 68. 她还主动帮助每个组员解决难题。 She also ________ ________ ________ every member ________ difficult problems. 【答案】 ①. offered ②. to ③. help ④. with 【解析】 【详解】原句的“主动帮助……解决难题”是关键词；“主动做某事”对应“offer to do sth.”；“帮助某人解决某事”对应“help sb. with sth.”；主语She是第三人称单数，描述过去事实用一般过去时，offer的过去式为offered，help用原形（to help中的to已在第二空给出）。 69. 虽然大家觉得很疲惫，艾玛的微笑让他们振奋了起来。 ________ everyone felt tired, Emma’s smile ________ ________ ________. 【答案】 ①. Although ②. cheered ③. them ④. up 【解析】 【详解】原句中“虽然”、“让”和“振奋起来”是关键词，表示“虽然”的单词是although，位于句首首字母要大写；表示“使某人振奋起来”的短语是cheer sb. up。本句前半句使用了一般过去时“felt”，因此后半句的谓语动词也需使用一般过去时，将cheer变为过去式cheered；代词需用宾格形式them作宾语。 70. 小组的陈述非常成功。艾玛真是一个优秀的组长！ The team’s presentation is a great ________. ________ ________ ________ team leader Emma is! 【答案】 ①. success ②. What ③. an ④. excellent 【解析】 【详解】原句中“成功”和“真是一个优秀的”是关键词，表示“成功”的名词是success。a great success为固定搭配，意为“大获成功”。第二、三、四空所在句为感叹句，中心词是名词短语team leader，故使用What引导的感叹句结构：What+a/an+adj.+n.+主+谓！原句中“优秀的”是关键词，表示“优秀的”的单词是excellent。excellent以元音音素开头，冠词用an。故填success；What；an；excellent。 第四节 书面表达（共1小题，满分15分） 71. 学校即将举办文化节，计划新增传统技艺体验活动区。校学生会现面向全体学生征求活动方案。请你根据下面的要点向校学生会写信介绍你的活动构想： My thoughts on the activities Traditional skills What traditional skills do you recommend? （At least 2 skills） Why do you recommend them?
