With no need for sunlight or soil, just add water and nutrients, and the system’s autonomous features take care of the rest — monitoring water levels, temperature, and lighting, ensuring fresh food for home with little effort. How does the Plantaform work?  Nutrient Absorption: By creating a nutrient-rich fog from water and nutrients, the system delivers essential nutrition directly to the plants’ roots, resulting in healthier and faster-growing plants.  Built-in Technology: The Plantaform is equipped with sensors that monitor key environmental factors such as temperature, fan speed, and light levels. The smart LED lights in it can imitate (模仿) natural sunlight, ensuring your plants receive consistent lighting even during the darkest winter months, regardless of outdoor conditions.  App-controlled: You can manage as many Plantaform Indoor Gardens as you wish from the same Plantaform Account. Whether at home or in a workplace, you can control all your gardens conveniently within the app, and receive tailored notifications:  when it’s time to remove the protective cover to allow your young plants to grow in the open air.  when it’s time to refill the water tanks, ensuring your plants always have enough water.  when your plants are ready to be harvested, so you can enjoy fresh produce at its peak.  when it’s time to run a Quick Cleaning Cycle after each growth cycle ends. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@plantaform.com. We’re here to help you grow with confidence and success! 1. With the Plantaform, users can . A. operate a soil-based garden B. plant vegetables once a year C. harvest food with hard work D. grow plants without sunlight 2. How does the Plantaform work? A. It sends nutrition to the plants’ roots. B. It adjusts lighting to outdoor conditions. C. It examines the plants’ health with sensors. D. It requires separate accounts for each garden. 3. The Plantaform app will send a notification when . A. the water tank is too full B. the produce is perfectly ripe C. a Quick Cleaning Cycle ends D. the garden needs moving outside 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一款蛋形智能室内花园的功能、工作原理及配套应用的便捷服务。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With no need for sunlight or soil, just add water and nutrients, and the system’s autonomous features take care of the rest — monitoring water levels, temperature, and lighting, ensuring fresh food for home with little effort.(无需阳光和土壤，只需添加水和养分，该系统的自动功能便会接手其余工作——监测水位、温度和光照，从而轻松为家庭提供新鲜食物)”可知，用户使用该设备种植植物时不需要阳光。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据How does the Plantaform work?部分的“Nutrient Absorption: By creating a nutrient-rich fog from water and nutrients, the system delivers essential nutrition directly to the plants’ roots, resulting in healthier and faster-growing plants.(营养吸收：通过将水和营养物质混合形成富含营养的“雾气”，该系统能将必需的营养直接输送至植物的根部，从而使植物更加健康、生长速度更快)”可知，这款设备的工作原理之一是为植物根部输送营养。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据App-controlled部分的通知清单中的“Whether at home or in a workplace, you can control all your gardens conveniently within the app, and receive tailored notifications (无论在家中还是在工作场所，你都能在这款应用里便捷地操控所有的智能花园，还能接收个性化的通知提醒)”以及根据“when your plants are ready to be harvested, so you can enjoy fresh produce at its peak.(当你的植物可以收获时，让你能享用处于最佳状态的新鲜农产品)”可知，当种植的作物完全成熟时，应用会发送通知。故选B项。 B Like many parents, we can only put off our kids’ asking for a dog so long until we finally give in. Last fall we looked through dog-rescue websites and, before long, adopted Etti, a spotted Dalmatian: It was rough at first because although Etti is a sweet, loving dog with us, she’s highly reactive to anything else that moves: people, dogs, cats, etc. Thankfully, we’ve found an excellent trainer. On a challenging training session during which I became frustrated, he said: “Sir, you don’t get the dog you want. You get the dog you need.” I remember thinking to myself, “Need? Do I really need an anxious, high-strung Dalmatian?” In fact, the last thing I needed was more stress in my already stress-filled life. Yet, over time, I’ve come to appreciate the wisdom of this expression. When I took Etti on a walk the other day, my whole body tensed up, scanning the environment for possible danger. An unsuspecting passer-by crossed the street toward us and Etti barked loudly. I said to her, “You’re so worked up today, Etti. What’s going on?” And then it hit me that throughout our walk I’d been the one who was tense and worried about the day ahead. In the end, maybe Etti was just acting out what I was feeling, serving as a good reminder that I need to pay attention to my moods and how they affect those — both dogs and humans — around me. Another notable thing about Etti is the ease with which she shifts from one mood to the next. Etti doesn’t keep thinking about what happened last week, yesterday, or even two minutes ago. Each moment for her is a new “now”. This isn’t to say that she’s not affected by her past. Etti is a rescue so who knows what she had to deal with in her previous life. However, she does not let it drag her down and determine what comes next, unlike most of us humans. When we were considering adopting Etti last fall, we read through her description on the rescue site and got a good laugh at the statement that she would need help “being the best dog she can be.” Yet, we had never thought that she was actually the one that guided us to be the better humans. 4. What bothered the author shortly after adopting Etti? A. Etti’s history as a rescue. B. Etti’s sensitivity to moving things. C. Etti’s need for professional training. D. Etti’s inability to get along with the family. 5. How did the author feel upon hearing the trainer’s words? A. Empowered. B. Hopeless. C. Appreciative. D. Unconvinced. 6. What does the story tell us about Etti? A. She got moody easily after receiving training. B. She reminded her owner to care about others. C. She mirrored her owner’s inner emotional state. D. She was free from the impact of her past experience. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every dog has its day. B. Love me, love my dog. C. Misfortune betters character. D. With unexpected wisdom, we rise. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者收养救援犬Etti后的经历，以及这只狗带给作者的意外成长与感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was rough at first because although Etti is a sweet, loving dog with us, she’s highly reactive to anything else that moves: people, dogs, cats, etc.(一开始的日子很艰难，因为尽管埃蒂对我们温顺又黏人，但她对任何移动的物体都会表现出强烈的反应：比如人、狗、猫等等)”可知，作者刚收养Etti时，困扰作者的是Etti对移动物体的高度敏感。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段训练师的话“Sir, you don’t get the dog you want. You get the dog you need.(先生，你得到的不是你想要的狗，而是你需要的狗)以及第三段作者的内心想法“Need? Do I really need an anxious, high-strung Dalmatian? In fact, the last thing I needed was more stress in my already stress-filled life.(需要？我真的需要一只焦虑又紧张的斑点犬吗？事实上，我最不需要的就是在本就充满压力的生活里，再多添一份压力)”可知，作者听到这句话时并不信服。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And then it hit me that throughout our walk I’d been the one who was tense and worried about the day ahead. In the end, maybe Etti was just acting out what I was feeling(我突然意识到，散步全程都是我自己在紧张，在为接下来的一天忧心忡忡。或许，埃蒂不过是把我的情绪表现了出来)”可知，Etti会映照主人内心的情绪状态。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者最初收养Etti满心困扰，却在相处中发现这只狗不仅映照出自己的情绪，还教会自己活在当下、不被过往束缚的道理，文末提到“Yet, we had never thought that she was actually the one that guided us to be the better humans.(然而，我们从未想过，竟是她指引着我们成为更好的人)”，所以从文章中学到了“意想不到的智慧，助我们成长”。故选D项。 C It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting. Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month. Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation. A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples. 11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why commitment is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了休闲规划这一概念，包括其定义、特点、益处以及实施时的注意事项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? (和许多人一样，你周末休息，比如刷手机，但不知为何，当工作日到来时，你从未感到像自己希望的那样精神焕发。你想知道：有没有更好的恢复精力的方法？)”可知，第一段描述的现象是缺乏有效的休息方式。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. (休闲规划不在于你在空闲时间做什么，而在于你如何做。它涉及以有意图的方式构建你已经喜欢做的事情，以便它们帮助你设定个人目标、促进社交联系和培养技能。)”可知，休闲规划的主要特点是有目的地行动。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. (研究人员对2400多名职场人士进行了11项实地研究，发现参与休闲规划后，个人的能量水平更高、情绪更积极、整体幸福感更强。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是休闲规划的益处。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. (虽然休闲规划需要投入和设定目标，但它仍然只是休闲。目标不是把爱好变成第二份工作。研究表明，人们的工作效率在一周60小时后往往会停止增长。即使是为了完善烹饪技巧或阅读侦探小说而延长工作时间，也可能会让你更累。)”可知，作者提到第四段的研究是为了警告不要过度进行休闲规划。 D Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 12. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of. C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on. 13. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division. C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting? A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process. C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness? B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time? C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting? D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍各个领域的研究人员对切蛋糕这一问题的本质和方法的研究以及切蛋糕的规则在解决现实问题中的应用。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. (切蛋糕是一个数学问题的核心，它将严格的推理与现实世界的公平问题联系在一起，因此不仅吸引了数学家，也吸引了社会科学家、经济学家等。Procaccia说：“这是一个非常优雅的模型，在这个模型中，你可以distill出什么是公平，并对此进行推理。”)”可知，这里说明人们可以通过切蛋糕问题来提炼理解什么是公平，所以distill的意思应该是“提炼”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. (但当考虑到个人偏好时，即使是最简单的规则也会变得复杂。假设爱丽丝和鲍勃要分一块蛋糕，爱丽丝知道鲍勃更喜欢巧克力，她可能会故意把蛋糕分得不相等，这样小的一块含有更多的巧克力。然后鲍勃会根据自己的喜好进行选择，爱丽丝会得到更大的一块。他们都对所得到的感到满意，但公平的意义在这种情况下发生了变化。)”可知，公平这一概念是很复杂的。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms(算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. (蛋糕是任何可分割商品的象征。当切蛋糕的原则被用来解决分歧时，它们有可能帮助世界找到解决方案。Procaccia使用公平分配算法对食物分配进行建模。社会科学家Haris Aziz正在探索各种情况，从如何分配日常任务到如何最好地安排医生在医院的轮班。)”可知，这一段主要介绍切蛋糕规则的应用。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. (Ariel Procaccia在过去的15年里思考了很多关于如何切蛋糕的问题。作为三个孩子的父亲，他知道要让每个人都满意地分一个生日蛋糕有多难。但这也是因为Procaccia的工作专注于探索公平划分事物的数学规则。一种方法是抽象地思考甜点。)”和最后一段“Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle(拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. (即使经过几十年的调查，切蛋糕也不像一个简单的拼图游戏，有明确的解决方案。相反，随着时间的推移，它已经演变成一种数学沙盒，一个将抽象证明和简单应用程序结合在一起的建设性游乐场。研究人员对它的探索越多，就越有探索的余地。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍研究者为什么对切蛋糕问题感兴趣。故选D。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分) The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. ___16___ It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! ___17___ Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need. ___18___ The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge ___19___ You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. ___20___ A. Decide acceptable purchases. B. What is a no-spend challenge? C. There should be no quick-fix approach. D. When will you start your no-spend challenge? E. Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F. Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G. A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过不花钱的挑战来省钱。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff.(你花的越少，存的就越多。理论上听起来很简单，但实际上要复杂得多。花钱是我们的日常习惯，有时会让我们沉迷于购买东西)”以及下文“It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! (这有点像速成减肥法，不过是以一种好的方式！)”可知，上文提到了存钱实际上复杂得多，因为花钱是习惯，推测本句主要说明了省钱的另一种方式，故F选项“有时候最好的办法是冻结开支”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据本段内容“Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.(尽管名字叫“不花钱挑战”，但这并不意味着你坐在那里不花钱。毕竟，你不想在账单上落后，而且有些必需品是你不能没有的。不花钱挑战的基本前提是在一定时间内减少不必要的支出。可能是一个星期，一个月，甚至一整年)”可知，本段主要解释了什么是“不花钱挑战”，即“不花钱挑战”的定义。故B选项“什么是不花钱的挑战？”符合语境，故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.(如果你在“零消费挑战”中需要购买某些东西，那就必须是你必须购买的东西。所以食品杂货，是的。在收银台排队时候买糖果，不行。而且，没有新iPhone，即使你一直梦想着升级。不买新鞋，即使它们在大减价。这不是找借口买你不需要的东西的时候)”以及下文“The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.(这个挑战的目标不是通过削减基本开支来让自己的生活变得更艰难)”可知，上文主要说明了基本的开支是可以接受的，但是额外的开支不可以，故A选项“决定可接受的采购”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.(你可以用平时会花的额外的钱来建立应急基金)”可知，下文提到了节约下来的钱可以建立应急基金，推测不花钱挑战带来的经济状况的改善。故G选项“不花钱的挑战可以促进你的财务状况。”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge.( 虽然不花钱的挑战是暂时的，但你可以扩展挑战)”可知，上文说明了不花钱挑战的好处，本句为本段最后一句，推测是建议采取这种生活方式，来进行省钱。故E选项“为什么不把它看作是生活方式的改变呢？”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,共15分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A week ago, in search of an extremely ____21____ flower called the tagimoucia, I travelled to Taveuni, where the plant only grows.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her. 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。 After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday. Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了让父亲开心，于是和朋友一起把父亲的旧船修好，让父亲可以和朋友出海，父亲也非常感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈同意后，我说服我的朋友们加入我的秘密计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友修理船的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了那天，我们都迫不及待地想给他一个惊喜”可知，第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜的反应。 2.续写线索：开始修理船——完成修复工作——给父亲惊喜——父亲感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②修理：repair/fix up ③完成：complete/finish 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/glad ②值得的：rewarding/worthy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration.

With no need for sunlight or soil, just add water and nutrients, and the system’s autonomous features take care of the rest — monitoring water levels, temperature, and lighting, ensuring fresh food for home with little effort. How does the Plantaform work?  Nutrient Absorption: By creating a nutrient-rich fog from water and nutrients, the system delivers essential nutrition directly to the plants’ roots, resulting in healthier and faster-growing plants.  Built-in Technology: The Plantaform is equipped with sensors that monitor key environmental factors such as temperature, fan speed, and light levels. The smart LED lights in it can imitate (模仿) natural sunlight, ensuring your plants receive consistent lighting even during the darkest winter months, regardless of outdoor conditions.  App-controlled: You can manage as many Plantaform Indoor Gardens as you wish from the same Plantaform Account. Whether at home or in a workplace, you can control all your gardens conveniently within the app, and receive tailored notifications:  when it’s time to remove the protective cover to allow your young plants to grow in the open air.  when it’s time to refill the water tanks, ensuring your plants always have enough water.  when your plants are ready to be harvested, so you can enjoy fresh produce at its peak.  when it’s time to run a Quick Cleaning Cycle after each growth cycle ends.

A. the water tank is too full B. the produce is perfectly ripe C. a Quick Cleaning Cycle ends D. the garden needs moving outside B Like many parents, we can only put off our kids’ asking for a dog so long until we finally give in. Last fall we looked through dog-rescue websites and, before long, adopted Etti, a spotted Dalmatian: It was rough at first because although Etti is a sweet, loving dog with us, she’s highly reactive to anything else that moves: people, dogs, cats, etc. Thankfully, we’ve found an excellent trainer. On a challenging training session during which I became frustrated, he said: “Sir, you don’t get the dog you want. You get the dog you need.” I remember thinking to myself, “Need? Do I really need an anxious, high-strung Dalmatian?” In fact, the last thing I needed was more stress in my already stress-filled life. Yet, over time, I’ve come to appreciate the wisdom of this expression. When I took Etti on a walk the other day, my whole body tensed up, scanning the environment for possible danger. An unsuspecting passer-by crossed the street toward us and Etti barked loudly. I said to her, “You’re so worked up today, Etti. What’s going on?” And then it hit me that throughout our walk I’d been the one who was tense and worried about the day ahead. In the end, maybe Etti was just acting out what I was feeling, serving as a good reminder that I need to pay attention to my moods and how they affect those — both dogs and humans — around me. Another notable thing about Etti is the ease with which she shifts from one mood to the next. Etti doesn’t keep thinking about what happened last week, yesterday, or even two minutes ago. Each moment for her is a new “now”. This isn’t to say that she’s not affected by her past. Etti is a rescue so who knows what she had to deal with in her previous life. However, she does not let it drag her down and determine what comes next, unlike most of us humans. When we were considering adopting Etti last fall, we read through her description on the rescue site and got a good laugh at the statement that she would need help “being the best dog she can be.” Yet, we had never thought that she was actually the one that guided us to be the better humans. 4. What bothered the author shortly after adopting Etti? A. Etti’s history as a rescue. B. Etti’s sensitivity to moving things. C. Etti’s need for professional training. D. Etti’s inability to get along with the family. 5. How did the author feel upon hearing the trainer’s words? A. Empowered. B. Hopeless. C. Appreciative. D. Unconvinced. 6. What does the story tell us about Etti? A. She got moody easily after receiving training. B. She reminded her owner to care about others. C. She mirrored her owner’s inner emotional state. D. She was free from the impact of her past experience. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every dog has its day. B. Love me, love my dog. C. Misfortune betters character. D. With unexpected wisdom, we rise. C It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting. Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month. Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation.

As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 12. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of. C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on. 13. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division. C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting? A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process. C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness? B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time? C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting? D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting? 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分) The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. ___16___ It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! ___17___ Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need. ___18___ The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge ___19___ You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. ___20___ A. Decide acceptable purchases. B. What is a no-spend challenge? C. There should be no quick-fix approach. D. When will you start your no-spend challenge? E. Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F. Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G. A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,共15分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A week ago, in search of an extremely ____21____ flower called the tagimoucia, I travelled to Taveuni, where the plant only grows.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her. 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。 After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
