Fairy penguins are important to the ecosystem because they eat fish, which benefits the ocean’s food chain balance. They also help fertilize (施肥) the land with their waste, which helps plants grow. But pollution causes a threat to them. Plastic waste in the ocean can harm the penguins by getting caught around their necks or in their stomachs, leading to injury or death. Plastic pollution is a growing problem in our oceans, and it is having a serious impact on the health of sea life, including penguins. The digestion of plastic waste can lead to hunger and other health problems. Studies have found that penguins have digested plastic waste such as bottle caps and fishing lines. Plastic debris (碎片) can be easily mistaken for food by penguins, as it is similar to their food in size, shape and color. Once eaten, the plastic remains in their stomachs, causing blockages, which can impact the penguins’ overall health. Plastic waste can also affect the behavior of fairy penguins. Studies have shown that plastic pollution can have an effect on the normal behavior of penguins, leading to decreased food intake and reduced reproductive success. The digestion of plastic waste has also been found to cause stress in penguins, leading to changes in behavior and a decreased ability to cope with other stress. To deal with the issue of plastic pollution, conservation (保护) work has been done to protect the penguins. These efforts include protecting their habitats, reducing pollution, cleaning the beach and educating people about how they can help. Scientists are also working to better understand the impacts of climate change so they can develop more effective ways. Some efforts have already had success, such as reducing oil pollution and protecting breeding sites. However, these are far from enough. We must take early action to reduce pollution and address climate change, not just for the penguins, but for all sea lives. 24．Which statement about fairy penguins will the author probably disagree with? A．They help plants grow. B．They are endangered animals. C．They keep the ocean’s food balance. D．They might get injured by plastic waste. 25．Why are penguins easily likely to mistake plastic debris for food? A．Plastic debris looks like their food in size, shape and color. B．Plastic debris releases a smell similar to their daily food. C．Penguins have poor eyesight to distinguish plastic from food. D．Penguins are often very hungry and eat anything they find. 26．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2 and 3? A．The efforts made to protect penguins. B．The ways to solve plastic pollution. C．The causes of plastic waste in the ocean. D．The effects of plastic pollution on penguins. 27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The efforts made haven’t yet got good results. B．Some conservation ways are difficult to carry out. C．More efforts need to be done to protect penguins. D．Climate change’s impacts have been fully understood. C In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated. So tiny are these nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) that they cannot be seen under a microscope. “At 1,000th the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small they can migrate and distribute potentially harmful synthetic chemicals throughout the body and into cells,” experts say. “One liter of water contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% were identified as nanoplastics and the rest were microplastics.” Microplastics are polymer fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch down to 1/25,000th of an inch. Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter. In the new study, researchers from Columbia University presented a new technology that can see, count and analyze the chemical structure of nanoparticles in bottled water. Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. “The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health,” said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, who was not involved in the study. “Infants and young children may face the greatest risks, as their developing brains and bodies are often more weak to impacts from toxic (有毒的) exposures.” “Nanoplastics are the most worrisome type of plastic pollution for human health,” experts say. “That’s because the minuscule particles can invade individual cells and tissues in major organs, potentially interrupting cellular processes and depositing endocrine-disrupting chemicals.” “There are things people can do to reduce their exposure to plastics,” said Houlihan. “We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials,” Houlihan said. “We can simply take stock of the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever capable.” 28．What do you know about Houlihan? A．An expert specializing in plastic study. B．A researcher who invented microscopes. C．A scientist who presented a new technology. D．A director who didn’t participate in the study. 29．What can we learn from Para. 4? A．Bottled water brings nothing but toxic materials to consumers. B．Babies are unlikely to be affected by nanoparticles for their young age. C．The plastic bits found in famous bottled water are surprisingly numerous. D．The potential danger of plastic bits to man has already been dug deep. 30．What does the underlined word “beverages” in the last paragraph mean? A．drinks B．pills C．nanoparticles D．desserts 31．What is the best title of the text? A．Tiny Nanoparticles, Great Impact B．Bottled Water, Harmful Nanoplastic C．Popular Bottled Water, Convenient Life D．Water Alternatives, Sustainable Development D Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. By 2023, over 300 million tons of plastic have been produced annually, with 2.5 million tons floating in oceans, a tenfold increase since 2005. A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). Researchers studied organs from 91 dead individuals (1997 — 2022) and found plastics in all brain samples. The highest concentration reached 0.48% of brain tissue (≈2 grams, similar to a plastic spoon’s weight), with recent deaths showing a sharp rise. Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition). Particularly, Alzheimer’s patients had the highest plastic levels. Scientists come up with two theories: plastics may cause dementia, or diseased brains lose the ability to remove waste. Duke University neuroscientist Andrew West explains that our brains have a natural cleaning system using fluid that works during sleep. But too many plastics can damage this system. Nanoplastics enter the body through bottled water, food packaging, seafood, airborne particles, and heated plastic containers. Global plastic waste, which could wrap the Earth in 2016, has since grown by 50%. As plastics break down, they form particles entering organs. The study uncovered uncertainties: brains contained polyethylene (PE) (聚乙烯) (from milk bottles) but almost no PET (聚酯) plastic (common in water bottles), despite PET’s importance in blood. This puzzles scientists, highlighting gaps in understanding plastic behavior in the body. US federal funding cuts further hold back research, though students increasingly pursue this field to address the crisis. The microplastics’ link to Alzheimer’s remains unproven. Scientists urge calm but stress lifestyle changes. They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods. 32．How are microplastics described in terms of size? A．More than 5 millimeters. B．Less than 5 millimeters. C．More than 1 millimeter. D．Less than 1,000 nanometers. 33．Why do microplastics build up easily in the brain? A．Brain tissue has high water content. B．Microplastics are fat-attracting. C．The brain has a poor self-cleaning function. D．Nanoplastics are smaller in size. 34．Which of the following is NOT listed as a preventive measure? A．Avoid heating food in plastic containers. B．Reduce the use of packaged foods. C．Replace plastic bottles with glass cups. D．Ban entirely all plastic production. 35．Which is the best title for the text? A．Microplastics: Unseen Invaders in the Human Brain B．Plastic Waste: Rising Threats to Global Oceans C．Nanoparticles: Hidden Dangers in Human Health D．Alzheimer’s Disease: New Findings from Modern Research 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。 Art isn't always an easy and straightforward thing to understand, and it can be hard to appreciate because it has been seen as something that only particularly educated or wealthy people can enjoy. 36 . Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort. Understand the art and then go a step deeper to understand the artists, their intentions and the historical backgrounds. Artists often create works to comment on major historical events. 37 . For example, Pablo Picasso's Guernica (1937) was created in response to the bombings during the Spanish Civil War. It's filled with anti—war symbolism. Picasso said of the artwork, “Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war against cruelty and darkness.” 38 . Art movements grow from popularity of certain ways of creating art. An art school is basically a group of artists, sometimes all in the same region, who all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices. For example, painters in the Egyptian school of art had certain rules that they had to follow—like the size of any figure they drew was supposed to vary based on the social status of the person they were painting. 39 . Each one symbolized a different aspect of life or death. Check out the life experiences of the artists. Learning a bit about the artists who created a piece can help understand it in a variety of ways. It can help you understand why they made certain artistic decisions. 40 . She had limited mobility after fighting against a serious disease and suffering a bus accident in her early life. Her pain and struggle appears in several of her pieces. A．But our tips will give you a new way B．Art movements sometimes inspired artists C．They also couldn't use more than six colors D．However, this couldn't be further from the truth E．This can give you a window into their unique opinion F．For example, Mexican painter Frida Kahlo had suffered a lot G．Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece 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。 It was two days before Christmas and I still felt numb.My husband Steve had passed away in late September but I was doing the best I could to 41 the season.My two adult sons wanted to carry on some of our family traditions like our Christmas Eve Open House, but I knew other traditions would 42 ． Steve and I used to put a special gift for each other under the tree.I made sure he had something 43 ， and he made sure I had something from Saffees, my favourite women's clothing store.Although Steve was no longer here to celebrate, I stubbornly asked my sons, “What should I buy for your dad？” I 44 decided to name a star after Steve.I knew it was the perfect gift for a 45 enthusiast like him.I didn't mind not having a 46 from him, except that it was just another 47 that he was no longer with us.

Every time he heard that sound, Michael’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Michael just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad-he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking? What if it caused an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Michael’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Michael’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Michael approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Michael’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate (为他人着想的) with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it's still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Michael was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?" Michael asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Michael. This gave Michael a ray of hope and an idea. 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。 Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 听力原文 Text 1 M: Let’s stop studying and do something outdoors today.

It can be a computer that beats you in the chess game. It can be a robot that helps you with your housework. It can also be a program which can write songs. Aviva is such a program. Aviva is created by some computer programmers. They put thousands of songs by famous musicians in her. After taking a few seconds to learn those songs, Aviva finds her own way to write her own songs. ⑱If the programmers tell Aviva what they want about a song, she can make it in just a few minutes. Now, Aviva is the first world-famous AI songwriter. Plenty of her songs have been used in films, games and ads, although people hardly know that they have been made by a computer program. ⑲Now, Aviva can only write classical music, so the programmers plan to give her more. In that case, she will be able to write all kinds of songs. ⑳Besides, there is no need to worry that AI will take the place of musicians. Instead, it will work together with them and make better songs. 1-5 BCBCA 6-10 BACAA 11-15 CCBCB 16-20 ACBBA 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．D 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了海洋海滩清理活动，包括时间、地点、所需物品、针对不同群体的要求等，旨在号召人们参与以保护海洋环境。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“When: First Saturday of the month, 10 am-1 pm.

(加入我们的海滩清理活动，帮助保护美丽的海洋海滩！志愿者在清理垃圾、保护原生栖息地、帮助减少海洋垃圾的同时，还能欣赏到美丽的海景)”可知，该活动的主要目的是保护海洋环境。故选D。 【答案】 24．B 25．A 26．D 27．C 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是仙女企鹅面临的塑料污染威胁及其影响，以及为保护这些企鹅和海洋生态系统所采取的措施。 【详解】 24．推理判断题。根据第一段中“A fairy penguin, also known as a little penguin, lives on the coastal areas of southern Australia and New Zealand. Fairy penguins are important to the ecosystem because they eat fish, which benefits the ocean’s food chain balance. They also help fertilize (施肥) the land with their waste, which helps plants grow. But pollution causes a threat to them. Plastic waste in the ocean can harm the penguins by getting caught around their necks or in their stomachs, leading to injury or death.(一种仙女企鹅，也被称为小企鹅，生活在澳大利亚南部和新西兰的沿海地区。仙女企鹅对生态系统至关重要，因为它们以鱼为食，有助于维持海洋食物链的平衡。此外，它们的排泄物还能为土地施肥，促进植物生长。然而，污染对它们构成了威胁。海洋中的塑料垃圾可能会缠绕在企鹅的脖子上或进入它们的胃里，造成伤害甚至导致死亡。)”可推知，作者可能不同意的一点是仙女企鹅是濒临灭绝的动物。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Plastic debris (碎片) can be easily mistaken for food by penguins, as it is similar to their food in size, shape and color.(塑料碎片很容易被企鹅误认为是食物，因为它们的大小、形状和颜色与企鹅的食物十分相似。)”可知，企鹅容易将塑料碎片误认为食物是因为塑料碎片在大小、形状和颜色上都与它们的食物相似。故选A。 26．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Plastic pollution is a growing problem in our oceans, and it is having a serious impact on the health of sea life, including penguins. The digestion of plastic waste can lead to hunger and other health problems.(塑料污染在我们的海洋中是一个日益严重的问题，它对包括企鹅在内的海洋生物的健康产生了严重影响。塑料垃圾的消化会导致饥饿和其他健康问题。)”和第三段中“Plastic waste can also affect the behavior of fairy penguins. Studies have shown that plastic pollution can have an effect on the normal behavior of penguins, leading to decreased food intake and reduced reproductive success.(塑料垃圾也会影响仙女企鹅的行为。研究表明，塑料污染会影响企鹅的正常行为，导致食物摄入量减少，繁殖成功率降低。)”可知，第二段和第三段的主旨是塑料污染对企鹅的影响。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Some efforts have already had success, such as reducing oil pollution and protecting breeding sites. However, these are far from enough. We must take early action to reduce pollution and address climate change, not just for the penguins, but for all sea lives.(一些努力已经取得了成功，比如减少石油污染和保护繁殖地。然而，这些还远远不够。我们必须尽早采取行动，减少污染，应对气候变化，这不仅是为了企鹅，也是为了所有的海洋生物。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出需要做更多的努力来保护企鹅。故选C。 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．A 31．B 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍瓶装水中纳米塑料现状，以及潜在危害和避免方式。 【详解】28．细节理解题。由文章第四段“‘The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health,’ said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, who was not involved in the study. (Bright Futures health Babies的研究主管Jane Houlihan表示：‘研究中提出的创新新技术为进一步研究打开了大门，以更好地了解人类健康的潜在风险。’Jane Houlihan她没有参与这项研究。)”可知，Houlihan是一位没有参与这项研究的主管。故选D项。 29．推理判断题。由文章第四段“Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. (最新研究背后的团队发现，在美国销售的三种流行品牌的水中，塑料碎片的实际数量在110000到370000之间，甚至更高，而不是每升300个。)”可知，在著名的瓶装水中发现的塑料碎片数量惊人。故选C项。 30．词句猜测题。由文章最后一段“We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials (我们可以避免食用塑料容器中的食物和 。我们可以穿天然织物制成的衣服，购买天然材料制成的消费品)”中in plastic containers以及前文所提的“瓶装水”可知，这里指装在塑料瓶里面的“饮料”。所以猜测beverages表“饮品”的意思。故选A项。 31．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated. So tiny are these nanoparticles（纳米颗粒）that they cannot be seen under a microscope. (在一项新的研究中，研究人员发现，商店里出售的瓶装水含有的塑料比以前估计的多10到100倍。这些纳米粒子太小了，在显微镜下看不见。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍瓶装水中纳米塑料现状，以及潜在危害和避免方式。所以B项Bottled Water, Harmful Nanoplastic (瓶装水、有害纳米塑料)符合语境。故选B项。 【答案】32．B 33．B 34．D 35．A 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示了微塑料在环境中的扩散及其对人体，尤其是大脑的渗透，研究还发现阿尔茨海默病患者大脑中微塑料含量最高，科学家建议减少塑料接触以降低风险。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Microplastics — plastic particles (微粒) smaller than 5 mm — are spreading rapidly in the environment due to rising global plastic use. (微塑料——指尺寸小于5毫米的塑料颗粒——随着全球塑料用量的增加正在环境中快速扩散。)”可知，微塑料是指尺寸小于5毫米的塑料颗粒。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Microplastics’ fat loving nature allows them to stick to the brain’s fatty tissues (60% of its composition). (微塑料的亲脂性使其易于附着于占大脑成分60%的脂肪组织。)”可知，微塑料容易在大脑中积聚是因为它们是亲脂性的。故选B项。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They suggest three things: avoid heating food in plastic, use glass containers, and reduce packaged foods. (他们建议采取三项措施：避免用塑料加热食物、使用玻璃容器、减少包装食品的摄入。)”可知，完全禁止塑料生产并未在预防措施中提到。故选D项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“A study in Nature Medicine showed alarming findings: microplastics and nanoplastics build up more in the human brain than in the liver or kidneys (肾脏). (《自然·医学》期刊的一项研究揭示了令人震惊的发现：微塑料和纳米塑料在人脑中的积累量远超肝脏或肾脏。)”可知，文章聚焦微塑料进入大脑这一问题，讨论了其成因、潜在风险、理论解释和目前的困惑，并给出预防措施。因此，A项“微塑料：人脑中看不见的入侵者”点明了核心问题，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 【答案】 36．D 37．E 38．G 39．C 40．F 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了如何欣赏艺术。 【详解】 36． 根据上文“Art isn't always an easy and straightforward thing to understand, and it can be hard to appreciate because it has been seen as something that only particularly educated or wealthy people can enjoy.(艺术并不总是一件容易理解的事情，而且很难欣赏，因为它一直被视为只有受过特别教育或富有的人才能享受的东西。)”根据下文“Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort.(只要花一点时间和精力，任何人都可以欣赏艺术。”可知，选项与上文为转折关系且承接下文说明人们对艺术的看法是不正确的。故D选项“然而，这与事实相去甚远”切题。故选D项。 37． 根据上文“Artists often create works to comment on major historical events.(艺术家经常创作作品来评论重大历史事件。)”可知，选项承接上文说明其作用。故E选项“这可以让你了解他们独特的观点”切题。故选E项。 38． 根据下文“Art movements grow from popularity of certain ways of creating art. An art school is basically a group of artists, sometimes all in the same region, who all have a similar style or subject matter.(艺术运动源于某些艺术创作方式的流行。一个艺术流派基本上是一群艺术家，有时都在同一个地区，他们都有相似的风格或主题。)”可知，本段主要在说要了解艺术运动和流派。故G选项“了解艺术运动和流派”切题，为本段的标题。故选G项。 39． 根据上文“For example, painters in the Egyptian school of art had certain rules that they had to follow—like the size of any figure they drew was supposed to vary based on the social status of the person they were painting.(例如，埃及艺术学派的画家有一定的规则，他们必须遵守——他们画的任何人物的大小都应该根据他们所画的人的社会地位而变化。)”，再根据下文“Each one symbolized a different aspect of life or death.(每一种严肃都象征着生或死的不同方面。)”可知，空处承上启下说明埃及艺术学派的画家不能超越的一些规则。故C选项“他们也不能使用超过六种颜色”切题。故选C项。 40． 根据下文“She had limited mobility after fighting against a serious disease and suffering a bus accident in her early life. Her pain and struggle appears in several of her pieces.(她在早年与一场严重的疾病作斗争，并遭遇了一次公共汽车事故，因此行动不便。她的痛苦和挣扎出现在她的几幅作品中。)”可知，选项举例说明画家遭受的苦难。故F选项“例如，墨西哥画家弗里达·卡罗就遭受了很多痛苦”切题。suffered a lot呼应suffering。故选F项。 【答案】41．B 42．C 43．A 44．B 45．D 46．D 47．C 48．C 49．D 50．C 51．A 52．D 53．A 54．B 55．A 【详解】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的丈夫史蒂夫在九月底去世了，他们坚持多年互赠圣诞礼物的传统也即将消失，但知道这一传统的女装商店经理给作者送来了礼物，延续他们的传统，帮助作者渡过这一艰难时期。 41．句意为：我的丈夫史蒂夫在9月底去世了，但我尽我所能来庆祝这个节期。根据上文中的It was two days before Christmas和本句中转折连词but可知，虽然丈夫去世了，但作者还是要竭尽所能来庆祝这个节日。故选B项。 42．根据上文可知，作者的丈夫史蒂夫去世了，结合下文中的Steve and I used to put a special gift for each other under the tree.可推知，丈夫去世后，一些与丈夫有关的传统就结束了，无法再进行下去。故选C项。 43．句意为：我确保他收到一些有趣的东西，他确保我收到一些来自我最喜欢的女装商店萨菲斯的东西。根据最后一段中的I gave Steve a gift of fun可知，作者给丈夫的是有趣的东西。故选A项。 44．根据上文What should I buy for your dad？和空后的decided可知，作者是经过考虑才最终作出的决定。故选B项。 45．句意为：我知道这是给像他这样的太空爱好者的完美礼物。根据上文中的name a star after Steve可知，史蒂夫是一名太空爱好者。故选D项。 46．根据第二段第一句和didn't mind not having… from him可知，作者不介意没收到丈夫的礼物。故选D项。 47．根据语境可知，再也收不到丈夫的礼物标志着他的离去，这是作者难以释怀的。故选C项。 48．根据下文中的saying she would stop by可知，女装商店的经理邦尼给作者打来电话。故选C项。 49．根据下文中的because I knew Steve was too to have prearranged something three months in advance可知，作者的丈夫无法提前安排给作者的礼物，因此作者想不出邦尼会带给她什么。故选D项。 50．根据句中too to… three months in advance和上文可知，作者的丈夫病得太重，所以不能提前3个月安排礼物。故选C项。 51．根据上文可知，作者想不出邦尼会带给她什么，因为丈夫病重不可能提前3个月安排礼物，所以当看到邦尼把一份包装精美的礼物放在树下时，作者感到吃惊。故选A项。 52．根据下文中的thus had selected something she knew I would like可知，邦尼知道作者和丈夫互赠圣诞礼物的传统，所以给作者选了礼物。故选D项。 53．根据上文邦尼代替作者丈夫送礼物和下文中的that Steve's traditional gift for me continued可知，邦尼想要确保这一传统在这个非常艰难的圣诞节能延续下去。故选A项。 54．根据上文可知，作者的丈夫史蒂夫刚去世几个月，所以这是一个非常艰难的圣诞节。故选B项。 55．句意为：最后一次，我们的传统得到延续——我给了史蒂夫一份有趣的礼物，而我的来自萨菲斯的包裹就在树下。根据破折号后的说明I gave Steve a gift of fun, and my package from Saffees was under the tree可知，作者与丈夫互赠礼物的传统得到了延续。故选A项。 【答案】 56．offered 57．with 58．articles 59．the 60．has become 61．more 62．influence 63．used 64．where 65．cooling 【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了《柯林斯词典》选出的2023年度词汇“Al”（人工智能的缩写），并围绕这一主题，探讨了AI在2023年的广泛应用、对娱乐行业的影响，以及AI技术带来的环境影响； 【解析】56．考查时态。句意：今年为公众提供了更多接触人工智能技术并与之互动的机会。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上文可知，本句时态为一般过去时。故填offered； 57．考查固定短语。句意：今年为公众提供了更多接触人工智能技术并与之互动的机会。固定短语：interact with，意为“与……互动”，符合句意。故填with； 58．考查名词的数。句意：从AI生成的视频到新闻文章，甚至是流行音乐，2023年标志着AI真正开始融入我们的日常生活。根据上文的“videos”可推测，空处为可数名词的复数形式。故填articles； 59．考查冠词。句意：从AI生成的视频到新闻文章，甚至是流行音乐，2023年标志着AI真正开始融入我们的日常生活。修饰名词“year”，表示特指，用定冠词the修饰。故填the； 60．考查谓语动词。句意：对于许多人来说，AI已成为日常交谈的话题和工作的重要工具，并将在未来几年继续成为许多人生活的重要组成部分。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上下文以及句意可推测，本句时态为现在完成时；主语为“AI”，单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has become； 61．考查固定搭配。句意：随着越来越多的人使用ChatGPT等AI工具，人们开始关注这项技术对环境的影响。固定搭配：比较级+and+比较级，意为“越来越……”，符合句意。故填more； 62．考查名词。句意：随着越来越多的人使用ChatGPT等AI工具，人们开始关注这项技术对环境的影响。分析句子成分可知，空处为名词形式。故填influence； 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：数据中心需要容纳许多用于托管ChatGPT等程序的计算服务器。非谓语动词担当后置定语，被修饰词“computational servers”和动词“use”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填used； 64．考查定语从句。句意：这些中心消耗大量能源，会产生大量热量。这里为定语从句的关系词，先行词为“centers”，在定语从句中担当地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where； 65．考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，水被用来冷却它们。非谓语动词担当介词“for”之后的宾语，用动词的v-ing形式。故填cooling。 66．【答案】范文 Online Friendship VS Real-Life Friendship, Which Is Better? Ladies and gentlemen, I firmly believe that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship. My reasons are as follows. First, real-life interactions provide genuine emotional connection through face-to-face communication, body language, and shared experiences, which online chats often lack. Second, offline friends offer immediate and practical support during both joys and hardships, something online friends cannot always provide due to physical distance. Most importantly, building trust and understanding deepens naturally through consistent real-world contact over time. Therefore, while online friendships have benefits, the depth, reliability, and richness of real-life friendship make it irreplaceably better. 【分析】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生作为辩论代表写一篇发言稿参加班级将举行的英语辩论赛，主题为“Online Friendship VS Real-Life Friendship, Which Is Better?”。 【详解】1.词汇积累 快乐：joy → happiness 由于：due to → because of 联系：contact → connection 好处：benefit → advantage 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：I firmly believe that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship. 拓展句：I firmly hold the belief that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship. 67．【答案】续写参考： Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. He started by moving his dad’s cigarettes from their usual spot and replacing them with printed statistics about the harmful effects of smoking. He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help. Moreover, he spent hours researching online, finding stories of people who had successfully quit, hoping they would inspire his dad. Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter titled “Please Stop Smoking” and left it on his dad’s pillow. The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. It read, “Son, I truly appreciate your efforts. I know that smoking is bad for me, and I want to stop too, but it’s tough and painful.” Recognizing his dad’s struggle, Michael adjusted his approach by providing more support. He engaged his dad in open conversations, researched quitting methods together and attended counseling sessions. Michael’s love and understanding guided his dad through the quitting process. Over time, his dad’s interest in quitting grew, and with Michael’s continuous encouragement, he managed to reduce his cigarette consumption. Together, they celebrated each milestone, showing how love can conquer challenges. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述迈克尔一家看电视时，他听到父亲标志性咳嗽，因担忧父亲吸烟伤肺而心情沉重，不解父亲为何不顾健康。他还想起母亲劝说父亲戒烟遭拒，后从同学蒂姆父亲成功减少吸烟中看到希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“迈克尔决定采取行动，希望能鼓励爸爸做出改变。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：迈克尔为劝父亲戒烟，采取移烟、藏打火机、找成功案例并写书信等行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，迈克尔在自己床上发现了爸爸一封喜忧参半的回信。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父亲给迈克尔回信，感谢其付出并坦言想戒烟却觉艰难。迈克尔调整方式，通过坦诚交流、共研方法、陪做咨询等给予支持，助父亲减少吸烟量，父子共庆每一步进步，彰显爱能战胜挑战。 2.续写线索：迈克尔移烟——藏打火机——写信——父亲回信——迈克尔调整方式——陪同父亲一起努力——用爱战胜挑战 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②代替：replace/take the place of ③鼓舞： inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①真心感激：truly appreciate/really thankful ②痛苦的：painful/distressing/torturous 第 page number 页，共 number of pages 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。let's stop studying and do something outdoors today.
