B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了乐园的景点特色、开放时间、减少排队时间的方法以及门票价格等信息，帮助游客规划出有意义且愉快的游玩行程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Attractions”部分的“Most strikingly, it features a variety of rides, such as Swing of the Century and Flying Eagles, which will provide the thrill you seek!(最引人注目的是，它有各种各样的游乐设施，如“世纪秋千”和“飞鹰”，这些将为你带来你所追求的刺激！)”可知，该公园最令人印象深刻的特点是其惊险刺激的游乐设施。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由“The best way to beat the waiting lines”部分的“To reduce your wait times, arriving right at opening or saving popular rides until the evening when the waiting lines begin to thin out is usually the best time to hit up those rides.(为了减少排队时间，开园就到或者把热门游乐设施留到晚上，那时排队的队伍开始变短时，通常是玩这些设施的最佳时间)”可知，晚上排队人少，9点闭园，8点最接近闭园时间且符合晚上这个时间段，是玩热门游乐设施的最佳时间。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。一对夫妻和两个3岁双胞胎男孩共4人。Online Park Ticket每人35美元，4人需花费\(35×4 = 140\)美元；The More The Merrier Sale买4张及以上，每人30美元，4人花费\(30×4 = 120\)美元；Gold Pass每人115美元，4人花费\(115×4 = 460\)美元；On - site Park Ticket文中未提及具体价格，但提到Online Park Ticket比on - site gate price优惠20美元，所以On - site Park Ticket价格更高。比较可得，The More The Merrier Sale这种票型最便宜。故选B项。 B I had no idea it was possible to sweat so heavily without engaging in any physical activity. I wasn’t standing at the open door of a plane thousands of feet in the air, ready to jump out into the wild, blue sky. Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer. I had signed up for an online language lesson with a Portuguese language tutor. For the past few months, I had been studying the language and I knew video chat was the next best option. As I clicked the button, a friendly face popped up on the screen in front of me. At that moment, my mind froze. Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken. As I’ve progressed along on my language journey, I often think back to her insight. She is right. We take as a given the power to express ourselves freely, and when that power is taken away, we are brought to a place of weakness. Yet if we keep pushing forward despite this weakness, we will unlock a wealth of valuable gains. My three-year-old son has big feelings but has insufficient vocabulary to properly express himself. When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now. When my husband and I finally visited Portugal and ordered food in Portuguese at a small shop, the server thanked us for taking time to learn their language. Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves. Taking on the challenge of Portuguese has also awakened a fire within me. If you had told me a year ago that I would be taking a writing course, competing in competitions at my gym, or learning about car maintenance, I truly wouldn’t have believed it. Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it. 4. What was the author doing in Paragraph 1? A. Working out at home. B. Taking an entrance exam. C. Preparing herself for a class. D. Signing up for a language club. 5. Hearing the tutor’s words, the author felt ________. A. shocked B. defensive C. concerned D. relieved 6. After learning Portuguese, the author ________. A. showed competitive advantages B. started to try Portuguese cuisine C. developed a passion for travelling D. became an understanding mother 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is never too late to learn something new. B. Taking on challenges may bring perfection. C. Leaving the comfort zone offers new visions of life. D. Language learning helps clear up misunderstandings. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了作者初次线上上葡萄牙语课时十分紧张，在老师开导下逐渐释怀；随后讲述学习葡萄牙语让自己更理解年幼的儿子、懂得尊重他国文化，勇于接受各类新挑战，感悟到走出舒适区、挑战自我会收获意想不到的人生价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer.(相反，我只是穿着最舒服的衣服坐在床上，等着点击电脑上的“进入教室”按钮。)” 可知，作者当时正在为线上课程做准备。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken.(察觉到我的紧张，老师说了一句我至今记忆犹新的话：“学习一门新语言就像向全世界展露自己的弱点，这难免会让人不自在。” 尴尬的氛围就此彻底消散。)” 可知，听完老师的话后作者内心释怀、放松下来。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now.(当我开始学习葡萄牙语时，我体会到儿子在成人世界里难以被理解的难处，如今我成了更善解人意的母亲。)” 可知，学习葡萄牙语后，作者变成了一位更懂得体谅孩子的母亲。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves.(学习葡萄牙语让我明白：主动去学习他人的语言，不仅是对他们祖国的尊重，更是对当地人民本身的尊重。)”及最后一段“Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it.(如今我深信，挑战自我所带来的收获，只有亲身尝试才能体会，其价值难以预知。)” 可知，走出舒适区、勇于挑战自我，会带给人全新的人生眼界与收获。 C Ants rely heavily on smell signals to tell every member of the colony (群体) who belongs and who is an outsider. Their unique ID cards, based on alkalines (碱性物), work for individual recognition among ants. A new study conducted by the Max Planck Institute and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that human-caused air pollution may cause civil wars within ant colonies. The problem is with ozone (臭氧), a common urban pollutant that can easily degrade alkalines. You can see where this is headed. Researchers found that when ants from six different species were exposed to 100 parts per billion of ozone, a level commonly reached in major cities during the summer, their chemical signatures were obliterated in as little as 20 minutes. This was a full-on disaster for ant colonies. When worker ants exposed to ozone returned home, their own colony couldn’t recognize them anymore. In five of the six species tested, the colony reacted with immediate violence, threatening and attacking their own citizens. In separate experiments, urban-level ozone disturbed care behavior deep inside the colony, leading to the death of baby ants. Who Cares About an Ant Civil War? You might think, well, they’re just ants. They’re small. Insignificant. But ants represent a huge part of the Earth’s biomass and do all of the dirty work that we take for granted, like turning soil, spreading seeds, and cleaning out ecosystems. Climate change and pesticides (杀虫剂) get a lot of the blame for population declines in all sorts of animal species, insects included, but this research is saying that, by making ants smell different, we are throwing their hyper-functional, ultra-cooperative societies into disorder and violence even without realizing it. Of course, what did we expect when air pollution started changing the chemical composition of the natural world? We have a long bill to pay. 8. What can ants’ ID cards help them to do? A. Resist air pollution. B. Identify colony members. C. Distinguish their roles in the colony. D. Prevent colony conflicts. 9. What does the underlined word “obliterated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ruined. B. Recognized. C. Blocked. D. Changed. 10. What does the author think of ants according to paragraph 4? A. Socially active. B. Naturally defensive. C. Ecologically necessary. D. Environmentally sensitive. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To describe how ants communicate. B. To show why ant population declines. C. To explore how ants keep the colony in order. D. To explain how ant colonies are affected by pollution. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了空气污染会破坏蚂蚁的化学标志，导致蚁群内部发生冲突。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Their unique ID cards, based on alkalines, work for individual recognition among ants. (蚂蚁依靠碱性物质形成独特的“身份标识”，以此来辨别彼此身份。)”可知，蚂蚁的身份标识可以帮助它们识别群体成员。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The problem is with ozone (臭氧), a common urban pollutant that can easily degrade alkalines. (问题在于臭氧，这是一种常见的城市污染物，很容易降解碱性物质。)”以及“Researchers found that when ants from six different species were exposed to 100 parts per billion of ozone, a level commonly reached in major cities during the summer, their chemical signatures were obliterated in as little as 20 minutes. (研究人员发现，当来自六个不同物种的蚂蚁暴露在十亿分之一百浓度的臭氧中时（这是大城市夏季常见的浓度水平），它们的化学特征在短短20分钟内就被obliterated。)”可知，臭氧会降解碱性物，从而破坏蚂蚁的化学信号，因此obliterated意为“破坏，毁掉”，与ruined意思相近。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But ants represent a huge part of the Earth’s biomass and do all of the dirty work that we take for granted, like turning soil, spreading seeds, and cleaning out ecosystems. (但是蚂蚁占了地球生物量的很大一部分，并且做着那些我们视为理所当然的脏活累活，比如翻动土壤、传播种子以及清理生态系统。)”可知，作者认为蚂蚁在生态系统中承担着翻土、传播种子、清洁生态等不可或缺的工作，说明蚂蚁在生态上是必要的。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new study conducted by the Max Planck Institute and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that human-caused air pollution may cause civil wars within ant colonies. (一项由马克斯·普朗克研究所开展、并发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的新研究揭示，人为造成的空气污染可能会引发蚁群内部的内战。)”及全文内容可知，文章从蚂蚁依靠气味识别同伴讲起，重点介绍了研究发现人类造成的空气污染（臭氧）会破坏蚂蚁的化学标志，导致蚁群内部发生冲突甚至幼蚁死亡。作者的目的是解释污染如何影响蚁群。 D “A city is not a problem to be solved,” said Marshall Brown, associate professor in Princeton’s School of Architecture. In Brown’s view, a city is a reflection of our social, political and cultural values. New technologies are less about giving us a perfect fix, and more about creating opportunities that we can use to solve problems. The technology that has been on Brown’s mind lately is the autonomous vehicle. Although today’s automakers are investing vast resources into self-driving cars, they’ve given far less thought to the design of the physical urban infrastructure (基础设施) to support them. Take road signs as an example. They were made to tell human drivers what to do. But driverless cars don’t need signs — they can get instructions from the road itself. Autonomous vehicles can navigate through information embedded in roads, by recognizing patterns, textures or materials. “We store information in the pavement, and this is environmentally sound, and is more beautiful, which is something that we care about in architecture,” Brown said. Another question is how autonomous vehicles will change the nature of pavement. Traditionally, the pavement steals spaces that could be covered in green spaces. But by making parking mobile, autonomous vehicles allow us to reduce the pavement footprint in the city. Parking by definition is fixed. Personal automobiles mostly sit unused while their owners are at work in the urban environment. However, when cars can drive themselves, they can navigate to lots far from urban centers, reducing the need for large, fixed parking spaces in valuable downtown areas. With autonomous driving, one change is that mobility will no longer be limited to people with driver’s licenses. People who cannot drive — or children who want to go to a friend’s house — can just hire driverless vehicles that will take them to their destinations. “Once you start thinking even a little bit about the impact of these technologies,” Brown said, “it explodes into thinking about everything at once.” 12. What is Marshall Brown’s view on new technologies? A. A problem to be solved. B. An opportunity for change. C. A threat to urban design. D. A sign of social development. 13. Why does the writer mention “road signs” in paragraph 2? A. To call for attention to self-driving cars. B. To illustrate their environmental impact. C. To highlight their navigation effectiveness. D. To show the need to upgrade infrastructure. 14. What might be a consequence of mobile parking? A. Reduced traffic jams. B. Less travel time. C. Increased green coverage. D. More parking spaces. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Cities Should Welcome More Future Cars B. What Opportunities New Technology Might Bring C. What Driverless Cars Could Mean for Environment D. How Autonomous Vehicles Could Reshape Our Cities 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章以普林斯顿建筑学教授Marshall Brown的观点为主线，结合具体案例，分析自动驾驶技术对城市设计的多维影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“New technologies are less about giving us a perfect fix, and more about creating opportunities that we can use to solve problems. (新技术与其说是给我们一个完美的解决方案，不如说是创造我们可以用来解决问题的机会。)”可知，Marshall Brown认为新技术更多是创造我们可以用来解决问题的机会。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Although today’s automakers are investing vast resources into self-driving cars, they’ve given far less thought to the design of the physical urban infrastructure (基础设施) to support them. Take road signs as an example. (尽管如今的汽车制造商在自动驾驶汽车上投入了大量资源，但他们对支持这些汽车的实体城市基础设施设计却考虑得少得多。以路标为例。)”可知，作者提到路标是为了说明现有的城市基础设施是为人类驾驶员设计的，而自动驾驶汽车需要不同的基础设施支持，从而表明升级基础设施的必要性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Traditionally, the pavement steals spaces that could be covered in green spaces. But by making parking mobile, autonomous vehicles allow us to reduce the pavement footprint in the city. (传统上，路面占据了本可以覆盖绿色植被的空间。但通过让停车变得可移动，自动驾驶汽车使我们能够减少城市中的路面占地。)”可知，移动停车可以减少城市中的路面占地，从而增加绿色覆盖。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章从基础设施升级、路面空间重新分配、社会出行包容性等多个角度，系统阐述了自动驾驶技术将如何改变城市的面貌和功能，核心主题是自动驾驶汽车对城市的重塑作用。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Food waste is a significant issue, with around a fifth of all food produced globally lost or wasted. This is not just a social issue, but also an environmental one. When food is wasted, all the resources that went into producing it are wasted too. ____16____ The production of different types of food requires varying amounts of water. Meat production, for instance, requires more water than the production of wheat, vegetables, or fruits. ____17____ Throwing away so much meat means that huge amounts of water are wasted along with it. ____18____ Beyond wasting water, food production also pollutes it. Agricultural activities, especially farming and livestock (家畜) production, are major sources of water pollution. Animal agriculture produces huge amounts of waste, which often flow from crowded factory farms into rivers, groundwater, and the ocean. ____19____ In addition, pesticides and fertilisers used are washed into waterways with soil, damaging the environment. To save water and other resources, food waste must be reduced. ____20____ So change is badly needed at every stage of food production and consumption. In this way, it is possible to save water, ensure enough food and protect the environment. A. There is another hidden cost. B. Most loss occurs during transport. C. However, cutting food waste is challenging. D. Water use varies by a country’s development. E. This further damages limited water resources. F. Among them, water stands out as a critical loss. G. Despite this, meat is the food that is thrown out the most. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了食物浪费不仅是社会问题，也是严重的环境问题，重点分析了食物浪费对水资源的巨大损耗(肉类浪费尤甚)以及农业生产带来的水污染，最后呼吁减少浪费以节约资源、保护环境。 【16题详解】 上文“Food waste is a significant issue... When food is wasted, all the resources that went into producing it are wasted too. (食物浪费是一个严峻的全球性问题，约五分之一的产量在供应链中被损耗或丢弃。这不仅关乎社会资源分配，更直接冲击生态环境——被浪费的食物背后，是耕地、水源、能源等生产要素的无效消耗)”指出食物浪费导致生产资源的浪费。F选项“Among them, water stands out as a critical loss. (其中，水作为一项关键损失尤为突出)”顺承上文，在泛指的“所有资源(all the resources)”中特别点出“水”这一核心资源，从而引出下文对水资源浪费的详细论述。故选F项。 【17题详解】 上文“The production of different types of food requires varying amounts of water. Meat production, for instance, requires more water than the production of wheat, vegetables, or fruits. (不同类型食物的生产需要不同量的水。例如，肉类生产比小麦、蔬菜或水果的生产需要更多的水)”说明肉类生产耗水量大。G选项“Despite this, meat is the food that is thrown out the most. (尽管如此，肉类却是被丢弃最多的食物)”通过“Despite this”与上文构成转折，指出高耗水的肉类恰好是浪费最严重的，从而将高耗水性与高浪费率联系起来，凸显了肉类浪费对水资源的双重打击。故选G项。 【18题详解】 下文“Beyond wasting water, food production also pollutes it. (除了浪费水，食物生产还会污染水)”将话题从“浪费水”转向“污染水”。A选项“There is another hidden cost. (还有另一个隐性成本)”位于段首，用“another”承接上段关于“浪费”的讨论，同时用“hidden cost (隐性成本)”巧妙引出下文要揭示的新问题——水污染，起到了承上启下的过渡作用。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“Animal agriculture produces huge amounts of waste, which often flow from crowded factory farms into rivers, groundwater, and the ocean. (畜牧业产生大量废物，这些废物常常从拥挤的工厂化农场流入河流、地下水和海洋)”具体描述了畜牧业废物如何污染水体。E选项“This further damages limited water resources. (这进一步损害了有限的水资源)”顺承上文，用“This”指代上文的污染行为，并总结其后果是“进一步损害”本已有限的水资源，强化了污染问题的严重性，与段首的“hidden cost”相呼应。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“To save water and other resources, food waste must be reduced. (为了节约水和其他资源，必须减少食物浪费)”提出了减少浪费的必要性目标。C选项“However, cutting food waste is challenging. (然而，减少食物浪费是具有挑战性的)”通过“However”转折，在明确目标后指出了实现过程中的现实困难，使论述更加客观全面。这为下文“So change is badly needed at every stage of food production and consumption.(因此，在食品生产和消费的每个阶段都亟需改变)”的呼吁提供了背景和紧迫性。故选C项。 第三部分：语言运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分 第一节 完形填空 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I still remember the day I bought my “nice” notebook.

That beautiful notebook sat ____22____ for months. When I finally opened it, I hesitated. The pages felt too delicate and too ____23____ to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas. So I ____24____ it. Instead, I grabbed an old, ugly composition notebook with a ____25____ cover and dog-eared corners. I started to ____26____ it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders. This is surprisingly ____27____. I actually wrote. Every day. Without exception. The psychology is real. When we ____28____ something too much, we place limits around it, feeling it is “too good”. But the ugly notebook carries no such ____29____. It has been used. It tells me, “This is a ____30____ for thinking and living, not a museum piece.” Here’s the thing: ____31____ notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器). With the pressure off, you experiment more. You try things that might ____32____. And in that freedom, bad ideas I was ____33____ embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I’m proud of. And that’s where the real work of creation happens. The best notebook is never the most beautiful one. It’s the one you’ll actually ____34____. Because the magic happens in the ____35____, not in perfect pages. Your ugly notebook is waiting. 21.

However, I believe this is a risky move that fails to meet students’ core needs. Unlike human counselors who can read subtle emotions, AI lacks true empathy and emotional depth. Its standardized responses cannot adapt to individual situations, such as a student stressed by family pressure. Worse still, AI poses serious privacy risks. The fear of data leaks may prevent students from seeking help entirely. For students’ well-being, campuses should invest in training more human counselors rather than relying on AI that may do more harm than good. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就一些学校开始尝试使用AI辅助心理咨询的现象写一篇短文，给校英文报投稿。 【详解】1. 词汇积累： 适应：adapt → adjust 有危险的：risky → hazardous 严重的：serious → severe 完全地：entirely → completely 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：The fear of data leaks may prevent students from seeking help entirely. 拓展句：Because they worry that their sensitive information might be leaked or misused, the students may stop seeking help entirely. 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, I believe this is a risky move that fails to meet students’core needs.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Unlike human counselors who can read subtle emotions, AI lacks true empathy and emotional depth.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 47. 阅读下列文章，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The Garden Project That Bonded Us When Dad announced we would transform the overgrown backyard into a vegetable garden, I rolled my eyes while Tom, my 12-year-old little brother, cheered. “It’s a waste of time,” I complained, scrolling through my phone. “We could just buy vegetables from the supermarket.” Tom, however, had always dreamed of growing his own tomatoes—especially since Mom’s birthday was only three months away, and he’d been talking about picking fresh tomatoes to make her favorite pasta sauce. Dad smiled, handing us a list, “Lily, you’ll handle planning the layout (布局) and buying seedlings (幼苗). Tom, you’ re in charge of clearing the weeds and digging the soil. Teamwork makes the dream work” He paused, glancing at the calendar on the wall where Mom’s birthday was circled in red. “Three months is quite enough for those potato seedlings to bear fruit—perfect timing if we get started now.” The first weekend, conflict erupted. I spent hours researching online but forgot to buy the seedlings, comforting myself “too busy with homework.” Tom was pulling weeds for hours, sweating profusely. Several days later, he marched into the garden expecting to find rows of seedlings, only to be met with empty yard, and then exploded with anger, shouting “You didn’t even do your basic job I’m doing all the hard work while you’re sitting on the couch Look！ My gloves are worn out” I fired back, “Digging is easy My part requires intelligence, not just brute force” We refused to speak to each other, leaving the half-cleared yard in chaos. Dad didn’t intervene immediately; instead, he left a note on the kitchen table, “Labor teaches us responsibility, and teamwork means supporting each other, not blaming.” That night, I couldn’t sleep, remembering how Tom had helped me fix my bike last year, even though he’d had a fever. Meanwhile, Tom lay in his room staring at the layout paper I threw to him earlier that week, recalling the way I’d lingered over the layout drawings many times, saying, “Mom will definitely love it.” The next morning, I woke up at dawn, grabbed my wallet, and raced to the store. I came back with not just tomato seedlings but also a new pair of gardening gloves for Tom. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Finally, the big day came—Mom’s birthday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. I approached quietly, holding out the gloves and seedlings. “Sorry I messed up earlier, I shouldn’t have been rude to you.” I mumbled. Tom turned around, with a faint surprise crossing his face. He took them readily and grinned, “That’s all right. Let’s get started.” Together, we planted the seedlings, him digging neat holes and me arranging them according to the layout. Sweat dripped down our faces, but laughter replaced our earlier misunderstanding as we helped each other. We waited, hopeful for a little miracle to take root. Finally, the big day came — Mom’s birthday. We led her to the garden, where ripe tomatoes hung thick and heavy on the branches. Mom hugged us tightly, tears blurring her vision, “This is the best birthday gift — seeing you two work together.” Dad, together with us, picked some fresh tomatoes to make sauce. We enjoyed it, chatting and laughing joyfully. Teamwork and understanding didn’t just grow plants, they bonded our hearts closer and wove our family closer. Family love is a gift far sweeter than any sauce, a memory we would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述父亲提议将杂草丛生的后院改造成菜园，作者负责规划布局和购买幼苗，弟弟汤姆负责清理杂草和挖土，目标是赶在母亲生日时种出蔬菜。首个周末，因作者忘记买幼苗，两人发生冲突。当晚，姐弟俩回忆起对方的好，第二天，作者一早去买了幼苗和手套。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我到的时候，汤姆已经在后院了”可知，第一段续写应围绕姐弟俩和好后一起劳作展开，描述作者道歉，汤姆接受，两人分工协作种植幼苗，充满欢笑，期待植物生根成长。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，那个重要的日子来临了 —— 妈妈的生日”可知，第二段续写要展现母亲生日当天，菜园成果丰硕，大家一起采摘番茄做酱，一家人欢乐相聚，突出团队合作和理解拉近家人关系，是最珍贵的礼物。 2.续写线索：作者道歉——汤姆接受——两人分工种幼苗——充满欢笑期待收获——母亲生日看到菜园成果感动——家人摘番茄做酱欢乐相聚——感悟团队合作和家庭之爱。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach /get close to ②咧嘴笑：grin /beam ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①欢乐地：joyfully /merrily ②紧紧地：tightly /firmly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I approached quietly, holding out the gloves and seedlings.（运用现在分词短语 holding out the gloves and seedlings作伴随状语） 【高分句型 2】Mom hugged us tightly, tears blurring her vision, “This is the best birthday gift—seeing you two work together.”（运用独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度高二年级下学期期末综合素质评价 英语学科 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） Ⅰ卷（共95分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B I had no idea it was possible to sweat so heavily without engaging in any physical activity. I wasn’t standing at the open door of a plane thousands of feet in the air, ready to jump out into the wild, blue sky. Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer. I had signed up for an online language lesson with a Portuguese language tutor. For the past few months, I had been studying the language and I knew video chat was the next best option. As I clicked the button, a friendly face popped up on the screen in front of me. At that moment, my mind froze. Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken. As I’ve progressed along on my language journey, I often think back to her insight. She is right. We take as a given the power to express ourselves freely, and when that power is taken away, we are brought to a place of weakness. Yet if we keep pushing forward despite this weakness, we will unlock a wealth of valuable gains. My three-year-old son has big feelings but has insufficient vocabulary to properly express himself. When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now. When my husband and I finally visited Portugal and ordered food in Portuguese at a small shop, the server thanked us for taking time to learn their language. Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves. Taking on the challenge of Portuguese has also awakened a fire within me. If you had told me a year ago that I would be taking a writing course, competing in competitions at my gym, or learning about car maintenance, I truly wouldn’t have believed it. Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it. 4. What was the author doing in Paragraph 1? A. Working out at home. B. Taking an entrance exam. C. Preparing herself for a class. D. Signing up for a language club. 5. Hearing the tutor’s words, the author felt ________. A. shocked B. defensive C. concerned D. relieved 6. After learning Portuguese, the author ________. A. showed competitive advantages B. started to try Portuguese cuisine C. developed a passion for travelling D. became an understanding mother 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is never too late to learn something new. B. Taking on challenges may bring perfection. C. Leaving the comfort zone offers new visions of life. D. Language learning helps clear up misunderstandings. C Ants rely heavily on smell signals to tell every member of the colony (群体) who belongs and who is an outsider. Their unique ID cards, based on alkalines (碱性物), work for individual recognition among ants. A new study conducted by the Max Planck Institute and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that human-caused air pollution may cause civil wars within ant colonies. The problem is with ozone (臭氧), a common urban pollutant that can easily degrade alkalines. You can see where this is headed. Researchers found that when ants from six different species were exposed to 100 parts per billion of ozone, a level commonly reached in major cities during the summer, their chemical signatures were obliterated in as little as 20 minutes. This was a full-on disaster for ant colonies. When worker ants exposed to ozone returned home, their own colony couldn’t recognize them anymore. In five of the six species tested, the colony reacted with immediate violence, threatening and attacking their own citizens. In separate experiments, urban-level ozone disturbed care behavior deep inside the colony, leading to the death of baby ants. Who Cares About an Ant Civil War? You might think, well, they’re just ants. They’re small. Insignificant. But ants represent a huge part of the Earth’s biomass and do all of the dirty work that we take for granted, like turning soil, spreading seeds, and cleaning out ecosystems. Climate change and pesticides (杀虫剂) get a lot of the blame for population declines in all sorts of animal species, insects included, but this research is saying that, by making ants smell different, we are throwing their hyper-functional, ultra-cooperative societies into disorder and violence even without realizing it. Of course, what did we expect when air pollution started changing the chemical composition of the natural world? We have a long bill to pay. 8. What can ants’ ID cards help them to do? A. Resist air pollution. B. Identify colony members. C. Distinguish their roles in the colony. D. Prevent colony conflicts. 9. What does the underlined word “obliterated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ruined. B. Recognized. C. Blocked. D. Changed. 10. What does the author think of ants according to paragraph 4? A. Socially active. B. Naturally defensive. C. Ecologically necessary. D. Environmentally sensitive. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To describe how ants communicate. B. To show why ant population declines. C. To explore how ants keep the colony in order. D. To explain how ant colonies are affected by pollution. D “A city is not a problem to be solved,” said Marshall Brown, associate professor in Princeton’s School of Architecture. In Brown’s view, a city is a reflection of our social, political and cultural values. New technologies are less about giving us a perfect fix, and more about creating opportunities that we can use to solve problems. The technology that has been on Brown’s mind lately is the autonomous vehicle. Although today’s automakers are investing vast resources into self-driving cars, they’ve given far less thought to the design of the physical urban infrastructure (基础设施) to support them. Take road signs as an example. They were made to tell human drivers what to do. But driverless cars don’t need signs — they can get instructions from the road itself. Autonomous vehicles can navigate through information embedded in roads, by recognizing patterns, textures or materials. “We store information in the pavement, and this is environmentally sound, and is more beautiful, which is something that we care about in architecture,” Brown said. Another question is how autonomous vehicles will change the nature of pavement. Traditionally, the pavement steals spaces that could be covered in green spaces. But by making parking mobile, autonomous vehicles allow us to reduce the pavement footprint in the city. Parking by definition is fixed. Personal automobiles mostly sit unused while their owners are at work in the urban environment. However, when cars can drive themselves, they can navigate to lots far from urban centers, reducing the need for large, fixed parking spaces in valuable downtown areas. With autonomous driving, one change is that mobility will no longer be limited to people with driver’s licenses. People who cannot drive — or children who want to go to a friend’s house — can just hire driverless vehicles that will take them to their destinations. “Once you start thinking even a little bit about the impact of these technologies,” Brown said, “it explodes into thinking about everything at once.” 12. What is Marshall Brown’s view on new technologies? A. A problem to be solved. B. An opportunity for change. C. A threat to urban design. D. A sign of social development. 13. Why does the writer mention “road signs” in paragraph 2? A. To call for attention to self-driving cars. B. To illustrate their environmental impact. C. To highlight their navigation effectiveness. D. To show the need to upgrade infrastructure. 14. What might be a consequence of mobile parking? A. Reduced traffic jams. B. Less travel time. C. Increased green coverage. D. More parking spaces. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Cities Should Welcome More Future Cars B. What Opportunities New Technology Might Bring C. What Driverless Cars Could Mean for Environment D. How Autonomous Vehicles Could Reshape Our Cities 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Food waste is a significant issue, with around a fifth of all food produced globally lost or wasted. This is not just a social issue, but also an environmental one. When food is wasted, all the resources that went into producing it are wasted too. ____16____ The production of different types of food requires varying amounts of water. Meat production, for instance, requires more water than the production of wheat, vegetables, or fruits. ____17____ Throwing away so much meat means that huge amounts of water are wasted along with it. ____18____ Beyond wasting water, food production also pollutes it. Agricultural activities, especially farming and livestock (家畜) production, are major sources of water pollution. Animal agriculture produces huge amounts of waste, which often flow from crowded factory farms into rivers, groundwater, and the ocean. ____19____ In addition, pesticides and fertilisers used are washed into waterways with soil, damaging the environment. To save water and other resources, food waste must be reduced. ____20____ So change is badly needed at every stage of food production and consumption.

Dad smiled, handing us a list, “Lily, you’ll handle planning the layout (布局) and buying seedlings (幼苗). Tom, you’ re in charge of clearing the weeds and digging the soil. Teamwork makes the dream work” He paused, glancing at the calendar on the wall where Mom’s birthday was circled in red. “Three months is quite enough for those potato seedlings to bear fruit—perfect timing if we get started now.” The first weekend, conflict erupted. I spent hours researching online but forgot to buy the seedlings, comforting myself “too busy with homework.” Tom was pulling weeds for hours, sweating profusely. Several days later, he marched into the garden expecting to find rows of seedlings, only to be met with empty yard, and then exploded with anger, shouting “You didn’t even do your basic job I’m doing all the hard work while you’re sitting on the couch Look！ My gloves are worn out” I fired back, “Digging is easy My part requires intelligence, not just brute force” We refused to speak to each other, leaving the half-cleared yard in chaos. Dad didn’t intervene immediately; instead, he left a note on the kitchen table, “Labor teaches us responsibility, and teamwork means supporting each other, not blaming.” That night, I couldn’t sleep, remembering how Tom had helped me fix my bike last year, even though he’d had a fever. Meanwhile, Tom lay in his room staring at the layout paper I threw to him earlier that week, recalling the way I’d lingered over the layout drawings many times, saying, “Mom will definitely love it.” The next morning, I woke up at dawn, grabbed my wallet, and raced to the store. I came back with not just tomato seedlings but also a new pair of gardening gloves for Tom. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Finally, the big day came—Mom’s birthday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
