The hotel was not at all as advertised on its website. The pictures showed beautiful gardens, when in truth, these gardens consisted of one bed of roses next to the parking lot. The rest of the space around the hotel was taken up by a busy road and a vacant lot. A pool was advertised, but we found there was no water in it. The only promise on the website that was kept was that free Internet access would be available in the rooms. In addition, the rooms were in very poor condition. The door to my room was broken and only opened and shut with great difficulty and a loud Bang, which is just shocking. Even worse, there were muddy handprints in the shower. I felt like I needed to clean everything before I could use it. It was disgusting. If this hotel had been very cheap, perhaps the problems would be forgivable. However, it was an average-priced hotel. I would never recommend it to anyone. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Foster (寄养) Volunteer Application for Large Dogs We are currently seeking foster volunteers for large dogs (50 pounds and up) only.

For years, my longing for adventure had been drowned out by family, work and responsibilities. Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. Around that period, I was working with Jack, a 30-year-old client who intended to quit his job and explore the world. Our weekly talks acted like a mirror, pushing me to face my own fears of being laughed at, criticized by others, and abandoning the comfortable life I had been used to. According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. A strong sense of independence and a “seize the moment” attitude are inspiring older travelers to see the world in their own way. The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. As people age, steady routines bring a sense of security, yet many people limit themselves to the comfort zone long after it stops benefiting them. Fortunately, I had my family’s full support. My husband and children all encouraged me to follow my heart. Their warmth left me wondering why I had hesitated for so many years. Research shows that facing fears helps produce dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. As I often tell my clients, “Nothing grows in the comfort zone except regret.” Now prepared to board my flight, I firmly believe fortune favors the brave. It is better to live bravely than to let dreams die without trying. 24. Why did the author decide to travel solo at 60? A. She was inspired by Jack’s plan. B. She was motivated by a travel survey. C. She finally responded to her inner call. D. She attempted to abandon responsibilities. 25. What is the purpose of mentioning the travel survey? A. To show that travel appeals to all. B. To prove her choice is widely shared. C. To stress we should seize the moment. D. To indicate seniors value independence. 26. What can be known about the author from paragraph 4? A. She doubted her comfort zone. B. She silently prayed to miss the trip. C. She worried about breaking routines. D. She was torn between joy and worry. 27. What message does the author want to convey? A. Overcome fears to avoid regret. B. Appreciate support from family. C. Follow your dreams despite age. D. Prioritize security over adventure. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在60岁时决定独自旅行，克服内心的恐惧和不安，勇敢追求梦想的故事，鼓励人们无论年龄多大都要追随自己的梦想。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. (然而，当我60岁时，内心的呼唤变得越来越迫切，同时我也担心自己错过了最后的机会。)”可知，作者60岁时决定独自旅行是因为她最终回应了内心的呼唤。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. (根据一项旅行调查，我并不孤单。在2800多名受访者中，20%的50岁以上的人计划独自旅行，91%的人有过这样的旅行经历。)”可知，提到旅行调查的目的是为了证明作者的选择是被广泛分享的，即很多人都有独自旅行的想法或经历。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. (当我准备预订机票时，真正的内心冲突出现了。我内心的一部分默默祈祷付款可能不会成功。然而，我意识到兴奋和恐惧的混合感觉是很正常的。)”可知，作者在预订机票时既兴奋又恐惧，内心很矛盾。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At 60, I finally decided to pursue a dream that I had ignored for decades: traveling solo along Australia’s western coast.(60岁时，我终于决定追求一个我忽略了几十年的梦想：独自沿着澳大利亚西海岸旅行)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者在60岁时决定独自旅行，尽管面临内心的恐惧和不安，但在家人的支持和自己的决心下，最终决定勇敢追求梦想的故事。作者想传达的信息是，无论年龄多大，都应该追随自己的梦想。 C Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. It is the anxiety and unease about how others might be having more rewarding experiences than you are. FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. You might sit alone, feeling envious about how much fun others are having as you scroll through your feed, only to later realize how much time has passed you by. This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being. Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted. If you’re constantly checking your phone, you’ll have a harder time focusing on tasks in front of you and may end up making more mistakes. Also, being glued to your phone late at night can make it harder to fall asleep and harm your physical and mental well-being. If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control. It starts with developing a better understanding of yourself, including your feelings, motives, and values. Then, you can cut down on worry by developing mindfulness, managing anxiety, and limiting your social media usage. Besides, building self-respect and establishing genuine relationships will allow you to better appreciate your own experiences. While you experience FOMO, the things you’re “missing out on” might be right in front of you. You can pull yourself back to the present moment, appreciate what’s happening in your life, and build a better sense of well-being. 28. Why does the text begin with a situation related to social media? A. To present a typical social activity. B. To criticize a common online habit. C. To explain the impact of social media. D. To introduce a psychological concept. 29. What can be inferred about FOMO according to paragraph 2? A. It lasts only for a short time. B. It shows up in different ways. C. It decreases work efficiency. D. It weakens one’s ties with friends. 30. Which can be a behavioral impact of FOMO according to the text? A. Calling friends for help late at night. B. Giving a like to a friend’s social post. C. Attending all available social activities. D. Handling multiple tasks at the same time. 31. What does the author think of FOMO? A. Harmful but manageable. B. Common but overlooked. C. Interrupting but educational. D. Underestimated but avoidable. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“错失恐惧症（FOMO）”的定义、表现形式、对行为的影响以及应对方法。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. (想象一下，深夜刷社交媒体时，突然看到朋友们没带你一起玩乐的照片。你可能会开始纳闷自己为什么没被邀请，或是自己做错了什么。很快，悲伤或失望的情绪便会涌上心头。这种体验通常被称为FOMO，也就是错失恐惧症)”可知，文章以社交媒体相关场景开篇，是为了引出“错失恐惧症（FOMO）”这一心理概念。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. (错失恐惧症可能是一种转瞬即逝的念头，在你看到自己渴望参与其中的事情后涌上心头 —— 比如一场演唱会的视频，或是一张毕业派对的照片。又或者，它会表现为一种想要查看手机信息和最新动态的冲动)”可知，错失恐惧症会以不同的方式出现。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted.(也许你会因为害怕错过一些神奇的时刻而同意所有到来的邀请，从而过度投入到活动中，感到疲惫不堪)”可知，错失恐惧症的一个行为影响是参加所有可参与的社交活动。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being.(这种恐惧会通过形成不健康的习惯循环来影响你的行为，从而恶化你的情绪健康)”和第四段中的“If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control.(如果感觉错失恐惧症和社交媒体已经占据了你的生活，要知道有办法重新获得控制)”可推断，作者认为错失恐惧症是有害但可控制的。故选A项。 D As the world’s appetite for electronic devices grows, e-waste is raising alarms. A 2024 UN report reveals 62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022, most going to landfills. This harms the environment with poisonous substances, and causes a $62 billion yearly economic loss, as valuable rare earth elements are thrown away. With e-waste rising five times faster than recycling rates, new solutions are urgently needed. Aquafade could be one — a water-soluble (溶水) plastic that breaks down completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could cover electronics and break down when the device is unwanted, making it easier to recover valuable parts. The inspiration came from an unlikely source: dishwasher pods (凝珠). One night, inventor Samuel Wangsaputra noticed the water-soluble film on a pod. Curious, he put one in water and watched it disappear. “I thought, this must be some form of polymer. But where does it go?” he recalled. This led him to explore PVOH, a material used in glue sticks and dishwasher pods. It is safe for food, biodegradable, and could make electronics easier to recycle at home. He teamed up with two material scientists at Imperial College London, to find out more. The challenge was creating a plastic both water-soluble and waterproof. The team developed a coating that protects devices from liquid — but once a screw (螺丝) is removed and the device is placed in water, the cover breaks down within hours, leaving only milky water and valuable electronic parts. However, experts urge caution. Peter Edwards of Oxford University questions whether the broken-down plastic might become microplastics. Michael Shaver of Manchester University adds, “The hard part is in the details — electronics have high requirements. They need to meet high standards for safety, fire resistance, and durability. “These technical difficulties may prove more challenging than expected. Despite the challenges, the Aquafade team dreams of turning today’s e-waste crisis into tomorrow’s clean cycle. 32. What can best describe Samuel Wangsaputra according to paragraph 3? A. Creative and determined. B. Honest and brave. C. Curious and questioning. D. Confident and intelligent. 33. What is a disadvantage of Aquafade? A. Its durability is unsatisfactory. B. Its waterproof feature may fail. C. It takes too long to break down. D. It may lead to microplastic pollution. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Aquafade? A. Highly skeptical. B. Cautiously hopeful. C. Fully supportive. D. Completely neutral. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Invention to Solve E-waste Crisis B. The Harm of E-waste to the Environment C. A Tip to Recycle Electronic Devices Easily D. The Challenge of Developing New Plastics 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种名为Aquafade的新型水溶性塑料，它有望通过使电子产品更容易回收来减少电子垃圾对环境造成的危害。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One night, inventor Samuel Wangsaputra noticed the water-soluble film on a pod. Curious, he put one in water and watched it disappear. “I thought, this must be some form of polymer. But where does it go?” he recalled. (一天晚上，发明家Samuel Wangsaputra注意到凝珠上的水溶性薄膜。出于好奇，他把一个放进水里，看着它消失。“我想，这一定是某种聚合物。但它会去哪里呢？”他回忆道。)”可知，Samuel Wangsaputra对凝珠上的水溶性薄膜感到好奇，并提出了问题，这表明他具有好奇和质疑的品质。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“However, experts urge caution. Peter Edwards of Oxford University questions whether the broken-down plastic might become microplastics. (然而，专家们敦促谨慎行事。牛津大学的Peter Edwards质疑分解后的塑料是否会变成微塑料。)”可知，Aquafade的一个缺点是它可能会导致微塑料污染。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the challenges, the Aquafade team dreams of turning today’s e-waste crisis into tomorrow’s clean cycle. (尽管面临挑战，Aquafade团队梦想着将今天的电子垃圾危机转化为明天的清洁循环。)”可知，作者对Aquafade的未来持谨慎乐观的态度。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Aquafade could be one — a water-soluble (溶水) plastic that breaks down completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could cover electronics and break down when the device is unwanted, making it easier to recover valuable parts.(Aquafade可能是一种水溶性塑料，在水中放置约6小时后完全分解。它可以覆盖电子设备，并在设备不需要时分解，从而更容易回收有价值的零件)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种名为Aquafade的新型水溶性塑料，它有望解决电子垃圾危机，通过使电子产品更容易回收来减少环境污染和经济损失，故最佳标题为“A New Invention to Solve E-waste Crisis (一项解决电子垃圾危机的新发明)”。 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 A classic song says, “Everybody needs good neighbours.” But in 2026, do we still need them? Or have we forgotten how to be friendly with those around us? ____36____ But these days, many live next door for years without learning their names. Is neighbourliness disappearing? Studies show we have less contact with neighbours than before. One survey found that 76% of us believe people were closer to neighbours 20 years ago than today. ____37____ There are reasons behind this fact. People today move homes more often for work or family needs, making long-term connections harder. In smaller communities, people attend the same schools or shops, so they get to know each other easily. But in cities with larger populations, these chance meetings happen less often. ____38____ Long office hours or irregular remote work means neighbours may not see each other. At the same time, many of us care more about privacy. Often, our only interactions are arguments about noise or shared areas. ____39____ A global study found that knowing just six neighbours can reduce loneliness and help people feel safer. For older people or those in poor health, informal acts of support from neighbors can be life-changing. Age UK has highlighted how regular neighbourly contact can help older residents stay independent for longer, while reducing social isolation. Ultimately, there’s no hard and fast rulebook to being a good neighbour. ____40____ But at the very least, making sure to smile and offer a kind word can go much further than you might think. A. Our working patterns also play a part. B. However, having good neighbours still matters. C. Most people spend more time socializing than working. D. What feels caring to one may feel unwelcome to another. E. Once, our front doors remained unlocked for friendly faces. F. It also found that one in five have never spoken to neighbours. G. The survey also noted urban residents interact less with neighbours. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. A 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了现代社会邻里关系疏远的现象、原因及拥有好邻居仍很重要。 【36题详解】 上文“A classic song says, “Everybody needs good neighbours. “But in 2026, do we still need them? Or have we forgotten how to be friendly with those around us? (一首经典歌曲唱道：“每个人都需要好邻居。”但在2026年，我们还需要他们吗？还是我们已经忘记了如何与周围的人友好相处？)”通过经典歌曲引出关于邻里关系的讨论，并提出了对现代社会邻里关系现状的疑问。E选项“Once, our front doors remained unlocked for friendly faces. (曾经，我们的前门都不上锁，以便友善的邻居来访。)”描述了过去邻里关系友好、门户开放的状态，与上文提到的经典歌曲中的邻里友好理念相呼应，同时与下文“But these days, many live next door for years without learning their names. (但如今，许多人住在隔壁多年却不知道对方的名字。)”形成鲜明对比，突出了邻里关系的变化，符合语境。 【37题详解】 上文“One survey found that 76% of us believe people were closer to neighbours 20 years ago than today. (一项调查发现，76%的人认为20年前人们与邻居的关系比现在更亲密。)”通过调查数据说明了过去邻里关系比现在更亲密。F选项“It also found that one in five have never spoken to neighbours. (该调查还发现，五分之一的人从未与邻居说过话。)”进一步补充了调查结果，揭示了现在邻里关系的疏远程度，与上文紧密相连，共同构成了对邻里关系变化的描述。 【38题详解】 上文“There are reasons behind this fact. People today move homes more often for work or family needs, making long-term connections harder. In smaller communities, people attend the same schools or shops, so they get to know each other easily. But in cities with larger populations, these chance meetings happen less often. (这一现象背后有原因。如今，人们更频繁地因工作或家庭需要搬家，这使得建立长期关系变得更加困难。在较小的社区里，人们上同一所学校或去同一家商店，所以他们很容易认识彼此。但在人口较多的城市里，这种偶遇的机会就少了。)”分析了邻里关系疏远的原因，包括频繁搬家和城市人口多导致偶遇机会减少等，A选项“Our working patterns also play a part. (我们的工作模式也起到了一定作用。)”承接上文，并引出下文“Long office hours or irregular remote work means neighbours may not see each other. (长时间办公或不定期远程工作意味着邻居可能见不到彼此。)”中提到的长时间办公或远程工作等导致邻里之间难以见面的工作模式因素，共同构成了对邻里关系疏远原因的全面分析，符合语境。 【39题详解】 下文“A global study found that knowing just six neighbours can reduce loneliness and help people feel safer. For older people or those in poor health, informal acts of support from neighbors can be life-changing. (一项全球研究发现，只要认识六个邻居就能减少孤独感，让人们感到更安全。对于老年人或健康状况不佳的人来说，邻居的非正式支持可能会改变他们的生活。)”通过全球研究的结果强调了邻里关系的重要性，特别是对减少孤独感和提供支持方面的作用。B选项“However, having good neighbours still matters. (然而，有好邻居仍然很重要。)”作为上文的转折和下文的引子，既总结了上文关于邻里关系疏远的讨论，又引出了下文关于邻里关系重要性的论述，起到了承上启下的作用。 【40题详解】 上文“Ultimately, there’s no hard and fast rulebook to being a good neighbour. (最终，成为好邻居并没有固定的规则。)”以及下文“But at the very least, making sure to smile and offer a kind word can go much further than you might think. (但至少，确保微笑并说一句善意的话会比你想的更有用。)”指出成为好邻居没有固定规则，下文则提出了一个具体的建议，即微笑并说善意的话。D选项“What feels caring to one may feel unwelcome to another. (对一个人来说感到关心的行为，对另一个人来说可能不受欢迎。)”解释没有统一标准的原因，衔接顺畅，符合语境。 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。 Jerry was an outgoing and sociable boy.

What makes modern Chinese archaeology particularly___57___(attract) is its integration with artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies, many of ___58___have been independently developed by Chinese research teams, are revolutionizing the way archaeologists work. Not only are AI systems rich ___59___ data analysis capabilities but also they are extremely efficient when ___60___ (apply) to the restoration of cultural relics. ___61___(help) archaeologists sort through tens of thousands of unearthed fragments in hours, AI has greatly shortened the research cycle and improved the accuracy of restoration.

Advanced as foreign AI technologies are, the AI tools developed by Chinese institutions ___63___ (tailor) to the characteristics of Chinese archaeological sites, indicating they have been functioning___64___(effective) in protecting cultural heritage. With China attaching greater importance to cultural heritage protection, AI archaeology is gaining global attention due to the fact that the international academic community has realized____65____great significance it is to combine cutting-edge technology with archaeological research. 【答案】56. a 57. attractive 58. which 59. in 60. applied 61. To help 62. cooperation 63. are tailored 64. effectively 65. what 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述了考古学对揭开中国悠久文明的关键作用，特别强调了现代中国考古学与人工智能（AI）的融合。 【56题详解】 考查冠词。句意：众所周知，考古学是揭开中国悠久文明的一把钥匙。此处表示泛指“一把钥匙”，key是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：现代中国考古学特别吸引人之处在于它与人工智能（AI）的融合。此处作宾语补足语，应用形容词attractive，意为“吸引人的”，说明现代中国考古学的特点。 【58题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：许多由中国研究团队自主开发的AI技术，正在彻底改变考古学家的工作方式。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为AI technologies，指物，在从句中作介词of的宾语，所以用关系代词which引导。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：AI系统不仅具备丰富的数据分析能力，而且应用于文物修复时效率极高。be rich in为固定短语，意为“在……方面丰富；富含……”，所以此处填in。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：AI系统不仅具备丰富的数据分析能力，而且应用于文物修复时效率极高。分析句子结构，句中已有谓语动词are，此处应用非谓语动词。AI systems与apply之间是被动关系，即AI系统被应用，所以用过去分词applied作状语，表被动和完成。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了帮助考古学家在数小时内整理数以万计的出土碎片，AI大大缩短了研究周期，提高了修复的准确性。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示AI发挥作用的目的是帮助考古学家，所以用To help，句首单词首字母大写。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：一个显著的好处是，考古学家与AI专家之间的合作可以突破传统手工工作的限制。根据空前的the可知，此处应用名词cooperation，意为“合作”，作主语。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：尽管国外的AI技术很先进，但中国机构开发的AI工具是根据中国考古遗址的特点量身定制的，这表明它们在保护文化遗产方面一直在有效地发挥作用。句子描述客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语the AI tools与tailor之间是被动关系，即工具被量身定制，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语是复数，所以用are tailored。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：尽管国外的AI技术很先进，但中国机构开发的AI工具是根据中国考古遗址的特点量身定制的，这表明它们在保护文化遗产方面一直在有效地发挥作用。此处修饰动词functioning，应用副词effectively，意为“有效地”。 【65题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：随着中国对文化遗产保护的重视程度不断提高，AI考古正受到全球关注，因为国际学术界已经意识到将前沿技术与考古研究相结合具有多么重大的意义。此处为连接词引导的宾语从句，作realized的宾语，从句中缺少修饰名词significance的词，所以用what引导，what在从句中修饰significance，构成感叹句结构“what +形容词+名词+主语+谓语”，表示“多么……的……” 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：应用文（满分15分） 66. 随着网络的普及，网络诈骗，网络欺凌等青少年网络安全问题成为大家关注的一个焦点，李华所在的班级围绕“网络安全问题”召开主题班会，假定你是李华，以“How to stay safe online”为标题，写一篇发言稿。主要包括以下内容： 1. 强调网络安全的重要性； 2. 提出建议（如保护好个人隐私、文明上网等）； 注意： 1. 词数80词左右； 2. 可适当增加情节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version: Good afternoon, my dear classmates/fellow students!

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 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。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了马克篮球天赋出众，家人期望他追随哥哥的脚步打篮球，可他内心热爱啦啦队，一直秘密训练，在篮球试训结束后，决心向家人坦白，追寻自己真正热爱的事业的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“马克鼓起勇气宣布：‘我不想再打篮球了。’”可知，接下来可描写家人听到这句话后的反应，马克坦白自己热爱啦啦队以及秘密训练的事实，最终获得家人的理解与支持。 ② 由第二段首句“一周后，到了啦啦队选拔的日子。”可知，接下来可描写马克选拔时的紧张与坚定，展现他训练后的成果，选拔过程中的表现，以及最终成功入选、看到家人为他骄傲的场景。 2. 续写线索 向家人坦白不想打篮球的决定——家人的惊讶与疑惑——马克说明热爱啦啦队及秘密训练的事实——家人给予理解与支持——啦啦队选拔现场的紧张与坚定——成功入选，家人为其骄傲——实现自我，走出哥哥的阴影 3.词类激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②支持：stand by/support ③回忆：remember/recall ④宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②兴奋：excitement/thrill ③紧张，焦虑：nervousness/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. （运用了现在分词taking...作状语以及although引导让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.”（运用了when引导时间状语从句，if引导条件状语从句和what引导表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $I finished writing my resume and a cover letter for the job I am applying for.

Recently, I stayed at the royal inn in the town of bright bay. IT was a disappointing experience, to say the least. The hotel was not at all as advertised on its website. The pictures showed beautiful gardens when, in truth, these gardens consisted of one bed of roses next to the parking lot. The rest of the space around the hotel was taken up by a busy road and a vacant lot. A pool was advertised, but we found there was no water in IT. The only promise on the website that was kept was that free internet access would be available in the rooms. In addition, the rooms were in very poor condition. The door to my room was broken and only opened and shut with great difficulty and a loud bang, which is just shocking. Even worse, there were muddy hand prints in the shower. I felt like I needed to clean everything before I could use IT. IT was disgusting. If this hotel had been very cheap, perhaps the problems would be forgivable. However, IT was an average Price hotel. I would never recommend them to anyone. Recently, I stayed at the royal inn in the town of bright bay. IT was a disappointing experience, to say the least.

A pool was advertised, but we found there was no water in IT. The only promise on the website that was kept was that free internet access would be available in the rooms. In addition, the rooms were in very poor condition. The door to my room was broken and only opened and shut with great difficulty and a loud bang, which is just shocking. Even worse, there were muddie hand prints in the shower. I felt like I needed to clean everything before I could use IT. IT was disgusting. If this hotel had been very cheap, perhaps the problems would be forgivable. However, IT was an average Price hotel. I would never recommend them to anyone.

For years, my longing for adventure had been drowned out by family, work and responsibilities. Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. Around that period, I was working with Jack, a 30-year-old client who intended to quit his job and explore the world. Our weekly talks acted like a mirror, pushing me to face my own fears of being laughed at, criticized by others, and abandoning the comfortable life I had been used to. According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. A strong sense of independence and a “seize the moment” attitude are inspiring older travelers to see the world in their own way. The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. As people age, steady routines bring a sense of security, yet many people limit themselves to the comfort zone long after it stops benefiting them. Fortunately, I had my family’s full support. My husband and children all encouraged me to follow my heart. Their warmth left me wondering why I had hesitated for so many years. Research shows that facing fears helps produce dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. As I often tell my clients, “Nothing grows in the comfort zone except regret.” Now prepared to board my flight, I firmly believe fortune favors the brave. It is better to live bravely than to let dreams die without trying. 24. Why did the author decide to travel solo at 60? A. She was inspired by Jack’s plan. B. She was motivated by a travel survey. C. She finally responded to her inner call. D. She attempted to abandon responsibilities. 25. What is the purpose of mentioning the travel survey? A. To show that travel appeals to all. B. To prove her choice is widely shared. C. To stress we should seize the moment. D. To indicate seniors value independence. 26. What can be known about the author from paragraph 4? A. She doubted her comfort zone. B. She silently prayed to miss the trip. C. She worried about breaking routines. D. She was torn between joy and worry. 27. What message does the author want to convey? A. Overcome fears to avoid regret. B. Appreciate support from family. C. Follow your dreams despite age. D. Prioritize security over adventure. C Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. It is the anxiety and unease about how others might be having more rewarding experiences than you are. FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. You might sit alone, feeling envious about how much fun others are having as you scroll through your feed, only to later realize how much time has passed you by. This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being. Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted. If you’re constantly checking your phone, you’ll have a harder time focusing on tasks in front of you and may end up making more mistakes. Also, being glued to your phone late at night can make it harder to fall asleep and harm your physical and mental well-being. If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control. It starts with developing a better understanding of yourself, including your feelings, motives, and values. Then, you can cut down on worry by developing mindfulness, managing anxiety, and limiting your social media usage. Besides, building self-respect and establishing genuine relationships will allow you to better appreciate your own experiences. While you experience FOMO, the things you’re “missing out on” might be right in front of you. You can pull yourself back to the present moment, appreciate what’s happening in your life, and build a better sense of well-being. 28. Why does the text begin with a situation related to social media? A. To present a typical social activity. B. To criticize a common online habit. C. To explain the impact of social media. D. To introduce a psychological concept. 29. What can be inferred about FOMO according to paragraph 2? A. It lasts only for a short time. B. It shows up in different ways. C It decreases work efficiency. D. It weakens one’s ties with friends. 30. Which can be a behavioral impact of FOMO according to the text? A. Calling friends for help late at night. B. Giving a like to a friend’s social post. C. Attending all available social activities. D. Handling multiple tasks at the same time. 31. What does the author think of FOMO? A. Harmful but manageable. B. Common but overlooked. C. Interrupting but educational. D. Underestimated but avoidable. D As the world’s appetite for electronic devices grows, e-waste is raising alarms. A 2024 UN report reveals 62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022, most going to landfills. This harms the environment with poisonous substances, and causes a $62 billion yearly economic loss, as valuable rare earth elements are thrown away. With e-waste rising five times faster than recycling rates, new solutions are urgently needed. Aquafade could be one — a water-soluble (溶水) plastic that breaks down completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could cover electronics and break down when the device is unwanted, making it easier to recover valuable parts. The inspiration came from an unlikely source: dishwasher pods (凝珠). One night, inventor Samuel Wangsaputra noticed the water-soluble film on a pod. Curious, he put one in water and watched it disappear. “I thought, this must be some form of polymer. But where does it go?” he recalled. This led him to explore PVOH, a material used in glue sticks and dishwasher pods. It is safe for food, biodegradable, and could make electronics easier to recycle at home. He teamed up with two material scientists at Imperial College London, to find out more. The challenge was creating a plastic both water-soluble and waterproof. The team developed a coating that protects devices from liquid — but once a screw (螺丝) is removed and the device is placed in water, the cover breaks down within hours, leaving only milky water and valuable electronic parts. However, experts urge caution. Peter Edwards of Oxford University questions whether the broken-down plastic might become microplastics. Michael Shaver of Manchester University adds, “The hard part is in the details — electronics have high requirements. They need to meet high standards for safety, fire resistance, and durability. “These technical difficulties may prove more challenging than expected. Despite the challenges, the Aquafade team dreams of turning today’s e-waste crisis into tomorrow’s clean cycle. 32. What can best describe Samuel Wangsaputra according to paragraph 3? A. Creative and determined. B. Honest and brave. C. Curious and questioning. D. Confident and intelligent. 33. What is a disadvantage of Aquafade? A. Its durability is unsatisfactory. B. Its waterproof feature may fail. C. It takes too long to break down. D. It may lead to microplastic pollution. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Aquafade? A. Highly skeptical. B. Cautiously hopeful. C. Fully supportive. D. Completely neutral. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Invention to Solve E-waste Crisis B. The Harm of E-waste to the Environment C. A Tip to Recycle Electronic Devices Easily D. The Challenge of Developing New Plastics 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 A classic song says, “Everybody needs good neighbours.” But in 2026, do we still need them? Or have we forgotten how to be friendly with those around us? ____36____ But these days, many live next door for years without learning their names. Is neighbourliness disappearing? Studies show we have less contact with neighbours than before. One survey found that 76% of us believe people were closer to neighbours 20 years ago than today. ____37____ There are reasons behind this fact. People today move homes more often for work or family needs, making long-term connections harder. In smaller communities, people attend the same schools or shops, so they get to know each other easily. But in cities with larger populations, these chance meetings happen less often. ____38____ Long office hours or irregular remote work means neighbours may not see each other. At the same time, many of us care more about privacy. Often, our only interactions are arguments about noise or shared areas. ____39____ A global study found that knowing just six neighbours can reduce loneliness and help people feel safer. For older people or those in poor health, informal acts of support from neighbors can be life-changing. Age UK has highlighted how regular neighbourly contact can help older residents stay independent for longer, while reducing social isolation. Ultimately, there’s no hard and fast rulebook to being a good neighbour. ____40____ But at the very least, making sure to smile and offer a kind word can go much further than you might think. A. Our working patterns also play a part. B. However, having good neighbours still matters. C. Most people spend more time socializing than working. D. What feels caring to one may feel unwelcome to another. E. Once, our front doors remained unlocked for friendly faces. F. It also found that one in five have never spoken to neighbours. G. The survey also noted urban residents interact less with neighbours. 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。 Jerry was an outgoing and sociable boy.

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 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。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
