They’re also an excellent opportunity to showcase your town or city to visitors from all around the world. Here’s a list of the most famous and best festivals around the world! Just for Laughs Held in Montreal, Canada every summer, Just for Laughs is a comedy festival that was started in Montreal in 1984. As one of the largest and most famous comedy festivals in the world, it features some of the best stand-up comedians in the world. The festival has won a number of awards, including being named one of the top ten international events by CNN Travel in 2021. Rio Carnival The Rio Carnival takes place every year in February and is known for its dynamic colorful costumes and lively atmosphere. The Rio Carnival features a range of events, from street carnivals to large exhibitions of Brazilian dance and music. It is a time to enjoy the festive season and celebrate Brazil's rich culture.

The festival celebrates wine appreciation and features tastings from famous wine estates all over Spain. It is also known for its music and arts events.

B The rejection letter from the city’s music school weighed heavily in Elsa’s pocket. At 19, her dream of becoming a concert pianist seemed broken. “Your style lacks classical discipline,” the letter read. That evening, she wandered to the family’s old barn, where moonlight streamed through cracked boards onto a dusty piano. Her fingers found Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude, each note reflecting her loneliness. Tears blurred the keys as she played—for the dreams buried under endless wheat fields. The harvest festival brought unexpected change. Village children discovered Elsa’s piano, their curious fingers brushing the yellowed keys. “Make it sound like thunder!” a boy shouted. Hesitant at first, Elsa began mixing storm rhythms with insect sounds. Farmers paused their dancing, recognizing familiar sounds in the music. Grandma Marta sang an ancient folk tune, its melody weaving through Elsa’s chords. That night, she lay awake, realizing classical purity mattered less than heartfelt connection. It was a moment when she understood the true power of music was to touch people’s hearts in a way that resonated (共鸣) with their daily lives. Months of experimentation brought results. Elsa’s video Songs from the Soil showed her rough hands dancing across the weathered piano, accompanied by field recordings. Urban music critics dismissed it as “agricultural noise”, but messages poured in. “You’ve given voice to our silent land,” wrote a farmer’s daughter. One teacher shared how Elsa’s music helped students appreciate rural life. It was as if Elsa had found a new language through her music, a language that could bridge the gap between the rural and the outside world. The invitation to perform at the National Cultural Summit surprised her. Beneath crystal chandeliers (吊灯), Elsa’s modified piano used wheat seeds to make beats, creating rhythms that copied rain hitting dry soil. As the final sound ended, the cultural minister approached, “this isn’t just music—it’s the soul of our countryside.” Now teaching village children, Elsa smiles knowing true artistry grows where roots run deep. 4. What did Elsa realize during the harvest festival? A. Classical music requires strict training. B. Music should connect with people’s lives. C. Children dislike ancient instruments. D. Pianos need regular maintenance. 5. What is the urban music critics’ opinion on Elsa’s work? A. They were open to new musical styles. B. They were eager to promote rural music. C. They failed to understand its deeper meaning. D. They had a great appreciation for folk elements. 6. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of classical music training. B. The role of music in agricultural development. C. The conflict between urban and rural music styles. D. The story of a pianist who found her unique artistic way. 7. Which best describes Elsa’s emotional change? A. Shame →Pride. B. Confusion → Certainty. C. Desperation → Satisfaction. D. Anger → Acceptance. C The earliest evidence for the use of plants as drugs — possibly for medication or a pick-me-up — may have been found amid human remains in a 15,000-year-old cave burial in North Africa. According to a study published this month in Scientific Reports, researchers discovered ephedra cones (麻黄果) in an ancient burial site at the Cave of Pigeons in northeastern Morocco. Ephedra cones contain ephedrine, a powerful stimulant that speeds up communication between the brain and body. Study lead author Jacob Morales, an archaeobotanist, said the discovery highlights the important role of plants in Stone At lifeways. And the researchers think they were consumed during the burial — suggesting the plant was widely used by the Stone Age people who lived nearby at the time. Today, ephedrine is known for its ability to ease breathing and is recognized as a drug that can both narrow blood vessels(血管)and reduce certain types of bleeding. But the stimulant can also increase blood pressure and heart rate to dangerous levels. Writings from ancient China show ephedra plants have been used in traditional cold remedies (感冒药) for thousands of years and they are still sold for that purpose in markets in parts of Africa and Asia. Morales says the burial “appears to have held special meaning”, noting that the ancient site also contained evidence of butchered Barbary sheep and the large birds (bustards). “It is possible that ephedra was consumed alongside these special foods during a ritual feast attended by the group and that all these items were subsequently buried in the site with the dead.” “Ephedra is a powerful plant that can act as a strong stimulant as well as having medicinal properties. But it is also potentially dangerous and its use suggests a deep understanding of its effects. It is now impossible to know exactly why prehistoric people in Morocco were consuming the plant. But no type of use should be ignored, particularly given the context of a burial ceremony,” says archaeologist Karen Hardy of the U.K.’s University of Glasgow. 8. What is paragraph 4 mainly discussing about ephedrine? A. The danger. B. The popularity. C. The tradition. D. The usage. 9. Why are Barbary sheep and bustards mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To reveal the origin of crucial custom. B. To indicate the significance of the funeral. C. To showcase the lifestyles of ancient times. D. To illustrate the widespread use of ephedra. 10. What does Karen Hardy imply in the last paragraph? A. Ephedra was primarily used for medical purposes. B. Ancient rituals relied solely on plant-based practices. C. Stone Age people understood the effects of the plant well. D. The burial site provides clear evidence of medicinal uses. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Evidence of ephedra use in Stone Age. B. The risks and benefits of using ephedrine. C. Medicinal practices in ancient North Africa. D. The role of ritual feasts in prehistoric cultures. D What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying? We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration? The common answer is that most people might choose the pale-colored one, but is it scientifically supported? According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms — soft blues or light greens — as relaxing, or even reassuring (令人安心的). And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration. While this might seem only surprising, the finding gets into an area of psychological (心理学的) study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain. 12. What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Few people like bright red or yellow. B. Pale colors are connected with good grades. C. Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous. D. Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the paler rooms than in the brighter rooms. B. Bright colors may create a more calming and relaxing atmosphere. C. If we want to have a good environment to study, we should study in a pale-colored room. D. Bright-colored rooms seem to create a good environment for greater concentration. 14. What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University? A. Most people know how to make use of colors. B. Stress is needed when you want to concentrate. C. The higher the stress, the better your performance. D. Being relaxed is very important to people studying. 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Findings about people’s favourite room colors. B. Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere. C. Room colors can affect one’s learning performance. D. Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work. 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。 As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values. ___16___ Food, in the form of recipes, is passed on from one generation to another, both expressing identity and maintaining links ancestrally, geographically, and even emotionally. What we eat reveals our roots. Families pass down recipes like treasures, keeping traditions alive. The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry. ___17___ These habits show how geography shapes diets.

Mixed communities often mix food styles, like adding spices to traditional dishes. This explains why tasting local food tops travelers’ to-do lists — it opens doors to meaningful interactions with locals. Familiar tastes instantly transport us home. Migrants cook childhood dishes to fight loneliness abroad, proving food’s power to comfort. Shared meals express love worldwide, whether through a mother’s homemade soup or friends gathering around a hotpot. ___19___ From family kitchens to international restaurants, food carries cultural stories. Its power to both unite people and protect traditions makes it special. Food and food habits serve as a cultural channel of display of affection and emotional association, meanwhile, sharing delicious and nutritious food undoubtedly signals a bridge of closeness or acceptance. ___20___ A. Eating habits are hard to change once formed. B. It has many key roles in human life beyond basic nutrition. C. By valuing food cultures, we build more inclusive societies. D. Such moments turn simple eating into emotional connections. E. Food traditions, however, sometimes require careful protection. F.

Nearly two-fifths of Americans tell pollsters that they sign over more of their savings to charity in the holiday season than at any other time of year; more than two-thirds of Britons say they plan to donate money at Christmas. But the labyrinth of charities, good causes and people in need can be as___21___ to navigate as the seasonal family get-together. How to give well? ___22___, the idea that you should treat charitable donations methodically has been tarnished by effective altruism, a movement associated with Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), a convicted crypto con man who insinuated that his fraudulent enterprise was ultimately all about doing good. Happily, the notion that there is a ___23___ way to give has a long and noble history. Aristotle suggested that___24___ stemmed from correct giving to the right people, in the right amounts, for the right reasons and at the right times. For the modern giver, three considerations could usefully serve as a guide. First should be to observe your own moral ___25___. Giving to rescue dying languages and to save dying children both have an intrinsic value. Religion and philosophy may help you ___26___ their competing claims. But ultimately, how important you find one good cause compared with another is a matter of personal ___27___. Another consideration is how much ___28___ you should allow worthy recipients to choose between different good things for themselves. You might be fired up with the mission to lift up the neediest out of ___29___. But they may prefer to spend your precious money on a funeral for a close friend than to invest in a cow as a source of future ____30____. You need to decide how much to defer to their wishes. This way of thinking helps explain why schemes offering cash transfers have become more popular in recent years. GiveDirectly, which offers such handouts in poor countries, has alone raised over half a billion dollars in the past three years. The third consideration is ____31____. Be it preventing river blindness, improving literacy or doling out cash, some organisations are better than others at getting the job done. However, it is not always possible to know how efficient charities are. Sometimes the dollar gains for each dollar spent are hard to ____32____, if not impossible. How do you quantify whether a programme to support democracy has been successful? If an autocrat ends up in power, you may conclude the effort was futile; then again, you may think it was worth staving off democratic collapse at least for a while. Smaller charities can struggle to collect the data they need to evaluate their work. That does not mean charities that try to solve complex problems or lack data are worse; just that how well they do good is anyone’s ____33____. When you can get evidence about charities’ efficiency, it should ____34____ your calculations. A defined goal, such as digging wells for clean water, should be measurable. So, too, should programmes that promise quick ____35____. Because some charities really do get more done per dollar, whom you give to can matter as much as how much you give. 21. A. easy B. hard C. professional D. efficient 22. A. Unfortunately B. Undoubtedly C. Unexpectedly D. Unusually 23. A. random B. cautious C. wise D. creative 24.

Steam rose from the pot. Laughter bounced off the walls. Flour dusted the table like fresh snow. And in the middle of it stood Grandma, issuing instructions as if she were conducting an orchestra (管弦乐队). “Not too much filling!” she called out, “We’re making dumplings, not pillows!” Every year, no matter how busy life became, the entire family returned home for this ritual (仪式). Uncles rushed in from work, aunts arrived with bags of fruit and snacks, and cousins who usually lived on their phones suddenly found themselves elbow-deep in flour. Sixteen-year-old Jun complained about it when he was younger. He used to think New Year’s Eve meant missing out on hanging out with friends or playing video games. But somehow, the noise and chaos started to feel... necessary. Jun tried to look serious as he folded his third dumpling of the evening. It leaned awkwardly to one side, more like a collapsed tent. “It has personality,” he defended himself. His cousin Mei burst into laughter. “If personality means falling apart in boiling water, then yes.” At this moment, they noticed that Grandma placed a coin inside one of the dumplings, carefully sealing it. “Tradition,” she said with a wink. “Whoever finds it will have the best luck this year. And remember to make a wish during the midnight countdown (倒计时).” That changed everything. A slight “tension” filled the kitchen. Everyone became unusually careful while eating. Each bite was slow and suspicious. Jun examined his dumpling like a detective studying evidence. 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。 When Jun let out a small yelp (尖叫) , all eyes turned toward him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the countdown, Jun pressed the coin gently into Grandma’s palm. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 衡阳市八中2025-2026学年高一下学期4月月考英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 考试总分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Festivals are a great way to get people together and have a good time.

At 19, her dream of becoming a concert pianist seemed broken. “Your style lacks classical discipline,” the letter read. That evening, she wandered to the family’s old barn, where moonlight streamed through cracked boards onto a dusty piano.

It was a moment when she understood the true power of music was to touch people’s hearts in a way that resonated (共鸣) with their daily lives(那天晚上，她躺在床上睡不着，意识到古典音乐的纯粹性比不上与人们内心的连接。就在那一刻，她明白了音乐真正的力量是以一种与人们日常生活产生共鸣的方式触动他们的心灵)”可知，在丰收节期间，Elsa意识到音乐应该与人们的生活相连接。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Urban music critics dismissed it as “agricultural noise”, but messages poured in. “You’ve given voice to our silent land,” wrote a farmer’s daughter. One teacher shared how Elsa’s music helped students appreciate rural life(城市音乐评论家将其斥为“农业噪音”，但大量的信息却不断涌入。一位农民的女儿写道：“你为我们寂静的土地发出了声音。” 一位老师分享了Elsa的音乐如何帮助学生欣赏乡村生活)可知，城市音乐评论家认为Elsa的音乐是“农业噪音”，但实际上很多人认为她的音乐有意义。可推理出城市音乐评论家没有理解Elsa音乐的更深层次的意义。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The rejection letter from the city’s music school weighed heavily in Elsa’s pocket. At 19, her dream of becoming a concert pianist seemed broken (市音乐学校寄来的拒绝信，在艾尔莎的口袋里沉甸甸的。19岁的她，成为音乐会钢琴家的梦想似乎破灭了)”、第二段“That night, she lay awake, realizing classical purity mattered less than heartfelt connection. It was a moment when she understood the true power of music was to touch people’s hearts in a way that resonated (共鸣) with their daily lives(那天晚上，她躺在床上睡不着，意识到古典音乐的纯粹性比不上与人们内心的连接。就在那一刻，她明白了音乐真正的力量是以一种与人们日常生活产生共鸣的方式触动他们的心灵)”以及最后一段“The invitation to perform at the National Cultural Summit surprised her. Beneath crystal chandeliers (吊灯), Elsa’s modified piano used wheat seeds to make beats, creating rhythms that copied rain hitting dry soil. As the final sound ended, the cultural minister approached, “this isn’t just music—it’s the soul of our countryside.” Now teaching village children, Elsa smiles knowing true artistry grows where roots run deep(受邀在全国文化峰会上演出让她感到惊讶。在水晶吊灯下，Elsa改良的钢琴用麦粒来打节拍，创造出模仿雨点落在干土上的韵律。当最后一个音符结束，文化部长走过来说：“这不仅仅是音乐——它是我们乡村的灵魂。”现在，Elsa在教村里的孩子们（学琴），她微笑着，心中明白真正的艺术源于深厚的根基)”可知，文章讲述了Elsa梦想成为音乐会钢琴家却被音乐学校拒绝，之后在乡村的经历让她找到了独特的音乐风格，用音乐连接乡村生活与外界，最终得到认可的故事。D选项“The story of a pianist who found her unique artistic way(一位钢琴家找到她独特艺术之路的故事)”符合文章主旨，故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The rejection letter from the city’s music school weighed heavily in Elsa’s pocket.

Tears blurred the keys as she played—for the dreams buried under endless wheat fields(城市音乐学校的拒绝信沉甸甸地压在 Elsa 的口袋里。19 岁的她，成为音乐会钢琴家的梦想似乎破灭了。信中写道：“你的风格缺乏古典的规范。” 那天晚上，她漫步到家里的旧谷仓，月光透过破裂的木板洒在一架满是灰尘的钢琴上。她的手指找到了肖邦的《雨滴前奏曲》，每个音符都反映出她的孤独。她弹奏时，泪水模糊了琴键 —— 为了埋在无尽麦田下的梦想)”可知，一开始Elsa收到拒绝信，梦想破灭，感到绝望。再根据文章最后一段“The invitation to perform at the National Cultural Summit surprised her. Beneath crystal chandeliers (吊灯), Elsa’s modified piano used wheat seeds to make beats, creating rhythms that copied rain hitting dry soil. As the final sound ended, the cultural minister approached, “this isn’t just music—it’s the soul of our countryside.” Now teaching village children, Elsa smiles knowing true artistry grows where roots run deep(受邀在全国文化峰会上演出让她感到惊讶。在水晶吊灯下，Elsa改良的钢琴用麦粒来打节拍，创造出模仿雨点落在干土上的韵律。当最后一个音符结束，文化部长走过来说：“这不仅仅是音乐——它是我们乡村的灵魂。”现在，艾尔莎在教村里的孩子们（学琴），她微笑着，心中明白真正的艺术源于深厚的根基)”可知，后来Elsa得到认可，感到满足。可推理出Elsa的情绪变化是从绝望到满足，故选C项。 C The earliest evidence for the use of plants as drugs — possibly for medication or a pick-me-up — may have been found amid human remains in a 15,000-year-old cave burial in North Africa. According to a study published this month in Scientific Reports, researchers discovered ephedra cones (麻黄果) in an ancient burial site at the Cave of Pigeons in northeastern Morocco. Ephedra cones contain ephedrine, a powerful stimulant that speeds up communication between the brain and body. Study lead author Jacob Morales, an archaeobotanist, said the discovery highlights the important role of plants in Stone At lifeways. And the researchers think they were consumed during the burial — suggesting the plant was widely used by the Stone Age people who lived nearby at the time. Today, ephedrine is known for its ability to ease breathing and is recognized as a drug that can both narrow blood vessels(血管)and reduce certain types of bleeding. But the stimulant can also increase blood pressure and heart rate to dangerous levels. Writings from ancient China show ephedra plants have been used in traditional cold remedies (感冒药) for thousands of years and they are still sold for that purpose in markets in parts of Africa and Asia. Morales says the burial “appears to have held special meaning”, noting that the ancient site also contained evidence of butchered Barbary sheep and the large birds (bustards). “It is possible that ephedra was consumed alongside these special foods during a ritual feast attended by the group and that all these items were subsequently buried in the site with the dead.” “Ephedra is a powerful plant that can act as a strong stimulant as well as having medicinal properties. But it is also potentially dangerous and its use suggests a deep understanding of its effects. It is now impossible to know exactly why prehistoric people in Morocco were consuming the plant. But no type of use should be ignored, particularly given the context of a burial ceremony,” says archaeologist Karen Hardy of the U.K.’s University of Glasgow. 8. What is paragraph 4 mainly discussing about ephedrine? A. The danger. B. The popularity. C. The tradition. D. The usage. 9. Why are Barbary sheep and bustards mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To reveal the origin of crucial custom. B. To indicate the significance of the funeral. C. To showcase the lifestyles of ancient times. D. To illustrate the widespread use of ephedra. 10. What does Karen Hardy imply in the last paragraph? A. Ephedra was primarily used for medical purposes. B. Ancient rituals relied solely on plant-based practices. C. Stone Age people understood the effects of the plant well. D. The burial site provides clear evidence of medicinal uses. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Evidence of ephedra use in Stone Age. B. The risks and benefits of using ephedrine. C. Medicinal practices in ancient North Africa. D. The role of ritual feasts in prehistoric cultures. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在石器时代北非发现麻黄使用的证据。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段中“Today, ephedrine is known for its ability to ease breathing and is recognized as a drug that can both narrow blood vessels(血管)and reduce certain types of bleeding. But the stimulant can also increase blood pressure and heart rate to dangerous levels. Writings from ancient China show ephedra plants have been used in traditional cold remedies (感冒药) for thousands of years and they are still sold for that purpose in markets in parts of Africa and Asia. (如今，麻黄碱因其能够缓解呼吸问题而闻名，也被认为是一种既能收缩血管又能减少某些类型出血的药物。但这种兴奋剂也可能使血压和心率升高到危险水平。中国古代文献表明，麻黄植物已被用作传统感冒药数千年，至今在非洲和亚洲部分地区的市场上仍有出售。)”可知，本段主要讨论麻黄碱的用途。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“Morales says the burial “appears to have held special meaning”, noting that the ancient site also contained evidence of butchered Barbary sheep and the large birds (bustards). “It is possible that ephedra was consumed alongside these special foods during a ritual feast attended by the group and that all these items were subsequently buried in the site with the dead.” (Morales说，这个墓葬“似乎具有特殊意义”，并指出该遗址还发现了被宰杀的巴巴里羊和大鸟（鸨）的证据。“麻黄可能是在群体参加的仪式盛宴中与这些特殊食物一起食用的，而所有这些物品随后都与死者一起埋葬在这个遗址。”)”可知，提到北非绵羊和鸨是为了表明这个葬礼有特殊意义，进而说明麻黄的使用可能与这个重要葬礼相关，从而暗示葬礼的重要性。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中““Ephedra is a powerful plant that can act as a strong stimulant as well as having medicinal properties. But it is also potentially dangerous and its use suggests a deep understanding of its effects. It is now impossible to know exactly why prehistoric people in Morocco were consuming the plant. But no type of use should be ignored, particularly given the context of a burial ceremony,” says archaeologist Karen Hardy of the U.K.’s University of Glasgow. (英国格拉斯哥大学的考古学家Karen Hardy表示：“麻黄是一种强效植物，既可以作为强效兴奋剂，又具有药用价值。但它也可能具有潜在危险性，它的使用表明古人对其功效有着深刻的理解。现在已无法确切知道摩洛哥史前人为何要食用这种植物。但考虑到葬礼的背景，任何一种用途都不应被忽视。”)”可知，石器时代的人们很好地理解了这种植物的效果。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段“The earliest evidence for the use of plants as drugs — possibly for medication or a pick-me-up — may have been found amid human remains in a 15,000-year-old cave burial in North Africa. (在北非一个有着15,000年历史的洞穴墓葬中的人类遗骸中，可能发现了人类最早将植物用作药物——可能是为了治疗或提神——的证据。)”和第三段“Study lead author Jacob Morales, an archaeobotanist, said the discovery highlights the important role of plants in Stone At lifeways. And the researchers think they were consumed during the burial — suggesting the plant was widely used by the Stone Age people who lived nearby at the time. (该研究的主要作者、植物考古学家Jacob Morales表示，这一发现凸显了植物在石器时代生活方式中的重要作用。研究人员认为，麻黄果是在葬礼期间被食用的，这表明当时住在附近的石器时代人广泛使用这种植物。)”可知，文章主要讲述了在北非一个15000年前的洞穴墓葬中发现麻黄果的研究，这表明石器时代的人们可能已经将植物作为药物使用。因此，文章主要讨论的是关于石器时代麻黄使用的证据。故选A。 D What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying? We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration? The common answer is that most people might choose the pale-colored one, but is it scientifically supported? According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms — soft blues or light greens — as relaxing, or even reassuring (令人安心的). And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration. While this might seem only surprising, the finding gets into an area of psychological (心理学的) study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain. 12. What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Few people like bright red or yellow. B. Pale colors are connected with good grades. C. Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous. D. Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the paler rooms than in the brighter rooms. B. Bright colors may create a more calming and relaxing atmosphere. C. If we want to have a good environment to study, we should study in a pale-colored room. D. Bright-colored rooms seem to create a good environment for greater concentration. 14. What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University? A. Most people know how to make use of colors. B. Stress is needed when you want to concentrate. C. The higher the stress, the better your performance. D. Being relaxed is very important to people studying. 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Findings about people’s favourite room colors. B. Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere. C. Room colors can affect one’s learning performance. D. Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了房间颜色对学习表现的影响，指出鲜艳颜色有助于提高专注力和学习效果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. (我们猜测它们可能不会被漆成亮红色或黄色)”以及“The common answer is that most people might choose the pale-colored one, but is it scientifically supported? (最常见的答案是大多数人可能会选择浅色的那个，但这有科学依据吗？)”可知，第一段提到的普遍观点是亮色的房间不适合学习。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration. (尽管参与者报告说，他们通常更喜欢在浅色的房间里学习，以此作为放松工作的一种方式，但研究人员看到的恰恰相反——亮色的房间似乎能让人更集中精力)”可知，亮色的房间似乎能创造一个让人更专注的好环境。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain. (耶克斯-多德森定律表明，一点点压力有助于取得最佳表现，而压力过大会产生负面影响。心率加快以及亮色会营造沉重氛围的报告可能恰恰表明，一点压力对大脑有益)”可推知，从科廷大学的研究中可以得出结论：当你想集中注意力时，压力是必要的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. (澳大利亚科廷大学的研究人员表示，当你想要储存信息时，最好待在亮红色的房间里)”以及“Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration. (尽管参与者报告说，他们通常更喜欢在浅色的房间里学习，以此作为放松工作的一种方式，但研究人员看到的恰恰相反——亮色的房间似乎能让人更集中精力)”可知，文章主要介绍了房间颜色会影响一个人的学习表现。故选C。 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。 As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values. ___16___ Food, in the form of recipes, is passed on from one generation to another, both expressing identity and maintaining links ancestrally, geographically, and even emotionally.

Nearly two-fifths of Americans tell pollsters that they sign over more of their savings to charity in the holiday season than at any other time of year; more than two-thirds of Britons say they plan to donate money at Christmas. But the labyrinth of charities, good causes and people in need can be as___21___ to navigate as the seasonal family get-together. How to give well? ___22___, the idea that you should treat charitable donations methodically has been tarnished by effective altruism, a movement associated with Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), a convicted crypto con man who insinuated that his fraudulent enterprise was ultimately all about doing good. Happily, the notion that there is a ___23___ way to give has a long and noble history. Aristotle suggested that___24___ stemmed from correct giving to the right people, in the right amounts, for the right reasons and at the right times. For the modern giver, three considerations could usefully serve as a guide. First should be to observe your own moral ___25___. Giving to rescue dying languages and to save dying children both have an intrinsic value. Religion and philosophy may help you ___26___ their competing claims. But ultimately, how important you find one good cause compared with another is a matter of personal ___27___. Another consideration is how much ___28___ you should allow worthy recipients to choose between different good things for themselves. You might be fired up with the mission to lift up the neediest out of ___29___. But they may prefer to spend your precious money on a funeral for a close friend than to invest in a cow as a source of future ____30____. You need to decide how much to defer to their wishes. This way of thinking helps explain why schemes offering cash transfers have become more popular in recent years. GiveDirectly, which offers such handouts in poor countries, has alone raised over half a billion dollars in the past three years. The third consideration is ____31____. Be it preventing river blindness, improving literacy or doling out cash, some organisations are better than others at getting the job done. However, it is not always possible to know how efficient charities are. Sometimes the dollar gains for each dollar spent are hard to ____32____, if not impossible. How do you quantify whether a programme to support democracy has been successful? If an autocrat ends up in power, you may conclude the effort was futile; then again, you may think it was worth staving off democratic collapse at least for a while. Smaller charities can struggle to collect the data they need to evaluate their work. That does not mean charities that try to solve complex problems or lack data are worse; just that how well they do good is anyone’s ____33____. When you can get evidence about charities’ efficiency, it should ____34____ your calculations. A defined goal, such as digging wells for clean water, should be measurable. So, too, should programmes that promise quick ____35____. Because some charities really do get more done per dollar, whom you give to can matter as much as how much you give. 21.

AI is undoubtedly a useful tool that provides instant feedback and enriches learning resources, which can boost study efficiency. However, it risks becoming a substitute for thinking if overused, harming our ability to think independently. To use AI properly, here are two suggestions. First, treat AI as a “learning partner” rather than a “doer”. Finish drafts independently before checking with AI and analyzing differences. Second, avoid relying on it for basic tasks like vocabulary exercises, as this weakens our foundational skills. Only by using AI rationally can we truly benefit from it. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是一篇应用文。要求考生以“AI辅助完成作业”这一现象为话题，写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 提升：boost→enhance 合适地：properly→appropriately 避免：avoid→refrain from 反馈：feedback→retroaction 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：To use AI properly, here are two suggestions. 拓展句：In order that we can use AI properly, here are two suggestions. 【点睛】[高分句型1]AI is undoubtedly a useful tool that provides instant feedback and enriches learning resources, which can boost study efficiency.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句，which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Second, avoid relying on it for basic tasks like vocabulary exercises, as this weakens our foundational skills.（运用了as引导原因状语从句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，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 Dumplings That Brought Us Home On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Li family kitchen was louder than the firecrackers outside. Steam rose from the pot. Laughter bounced off the walls. Flour dusted the table like fresh snow. And in the middle of it stood Grandma, issuing instructions as if she were conducting an orchestra (管弦乐队). “Not too much filling!” she called out, “We’re making dumplings, not pillows!” Every year, no matter how busy life became, the entire family returned home for this ritual (仪式). Uncles rushed in from work, aunts arrived with bags of fruit and snacks, and cousins who usually lived on their phones suddenly found themselves elbow-deep in flour. Sixteen-year-old Jun complained about it when he was younger. He used to think New Year’s Eve meant missing out on hanging out with friends or playing video games. But somehow, the noise and chaos started to feel... necessary. Jun tried to look serious as he folded his third dumpling of the evening. It leaned awkwardly to one side, more like a collapsed tent. “It has personality,” he defended himself. His cousin Mei burst into laughter. “If personality means falling apart in boiling water, then yes.” At this moment, they noticed that Grandma placed a coin inside one of the dumplings, carefully sealing it. “Tradition,” she said with a wink. “Whoever finds it will have the best luck this year. And remember to make a wish during the midnight countdown (倒计时).” That changed everything. A slight “tension” filled the kitchen. Everyone became unusually careful while eating. Each bite was slow and suspicious. Jun examined his dumpling like a detective studying evidence. 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。 When Jun let out a small yelp (尖叫) , all eyes turned toward him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the countdown, Jun pressed the coin gently into Grandma’s palm. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When Jun let out a small yelp (尖叫) , all eyes turned toward him. His face flushed as he spat out a shiny coin, which glinted under the kitchen lights. “I found it!” he shouted, jumping up and down. The room erupted in cheers and laughter, while Mei pretended to pout, saying, “I guess my dumplings weren’t lucky enough this year.” Grandma smiled warmly, patting Jun’s shoulder. “Remember to make a wish,” she reminded him gently. Jun closed his eyes for a moment, thinking about what he truly wanted, which was for the family to stay together and happy just like this night. After the countdown, Jun pressed the coin gently into Grandma’s palm. “This should be yours, Grandma,” he said sincerely. “You’re the one who keeps our traditions alive.” Grandma looked surprised but touched, her eyes twinkling with tears. “What a thoughtful boy you’ve become,” she murmured, hugging him tightly. Everyone agreed that Jun had grown up that night, realizing that the real treasure wasn’t the coin itself but the love and memories they shared while making dumplings together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以李家包饺子这一传统仪式为线索展开。除夕夜，全家齐聚厨房包饺子，热闹非凡。奶奶在其中一个饺子里放了硬币，称吃到的人今年会有好运。得知此事，大家吃饺子时都格外小心，每咬一口都带着期待。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“俊突然轻轻叫了一声，所有人的目光都转向了他。”可知，第一段可以描写俊吃到硬币时的意外反应，家人的热闹反应，以及奶奶提醒他许愿，俊许下阖家幸福的心愿。 ②由第二段句首内容“跨年倒计时结束后，俊把那枚硬币轻轻放到奶奶手心里。”可知，第二段可以描写跨年倒计时后俊把幸运硬币送给奶奶，奶奶感动落泪，家人由此感受到俊的成长，点明真正珍贵的是亲情与共同回忆的主旨。 2.续写线索：意外吃到硬币 —— 家人欢呼热闹 —— 许下团圆心愿 —— 赠予奶奶硬币 —— 感悟亲情珍贵 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳上跳下：jump up and down/bounce up and down ②拍某人的肩膀：pat sb’s shoulder/tap on sb’s shoulder ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①开心：happy/joyful/delighted ②惊讶：surprised/astonished/amazed 【点睛】【高分句型1】His face flushed as he spat out a shiny coin, which glinted under the kitchen lights.
