C.Travellers interested in Harry Potter.D.Directors studying movie production. B What does it mean to travel somewhere new and not be able to see it?That question led me on a 10-day journey through northern India with Traveleyes,a British tour company that pairs visually impaired travelers and sighted travelers. I was paired with Candie,a blind woman from Seattle."The whole sights thing doesn't excite me,"she said."Tell me what people are doing even if it's just someone sleeping on the sidewalk-that is more interesting to me than,There's a tree over here with yellow leaves.""I looked out of the bus window.Along the roadside were hairdressers who'd hung mirrors on trees,shaving customers on low chairs.I told Candie how cars here drive on the left,and how clearly marked road lines were almost universally ignored. I was beginning to notice how speaking these details aloud made me more observant. Things I might have otherwise overlooked or skimmed past became more visible to me when I put them into words.In naming them,I also saved them into memory. We eventually arrived in Ranthambore,one of the best places in India to spot wild tigers.Touring the park in an open-topped bus,we spotted tiger tracks-but no tiger. Admittedly,I was disappointed.Candie wasn't.Just moving through the wilderness in the open air,she said,holding tight the handlebar,had been exciting enough. These words reminded me of the difference between how blind and sighted people experience travel:For sighted travelers,it's more like watching a film as they tend to rely on immediate visual cues to form quick and vivid impressions.For blind ones,the world reveals itself more slowly,through layers of sound,touch and smell.It's a more immersive (沉浸式的)，interpretive process一just like reading a novel,where the story unfolds through detail and imagination.And the book is often better than the film. 24.Why did the author start his journey? A.To satisfy his curiosity. B.To spend his vacation. C.To help disabled people. D.To heighten his senses. 25.What appealed to Candie most during the journey? A.Traffic rules. B.Local customs. C.Beautiful scenery. D.People's activities. 26.How did describing details affect the author? A.It refreshed his memory B.It boosted his social skills C.It sharpened his perception. D.It encouraged him to speak up. 27.What message is conveyed in the text? A.Don't judge a book by its cover. B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Slow tasting reveals true flavor. C The slang(俚语)term“6-7”became nearly unavoidable for anyone interacting with children and teenagers last year.Originating from a rap song in 2024,it quickly gained steam on TikTok and other social media platforms,turning into a shout in response whenever the numbers 6 or 7 cropped up in casual conversation.It has become so widespread that some schools have even banned its use.Dictionary.com named "6-7"as its Word of the Year for 2025,referring to it as something "empty"while acknowledging its usefulness to young users "due to the connection it creates." Slang is more than a linguistic feature for people of all ages.Slang use serves as a powerful cultural marker for strengthening belonging."It tells you who is similar to you,who is different from you,which is something that all language does,"said Ryan Boyd, PhD,a social and personality psychologist at the University of Texas at Dallas.Boyd uses computational methods to measure,study,and understand linguistic patterns and the psychological processes behind them. Young people are often the key creators and innovators of slang because they use language as a way to define themselves and draw boundaries between their own group and perceived outsiders.Slang is a creative way for them to demonstrate how their social world feels different from that of their parents or other adults.Slang use contributes to self-definition,peer(同龄人)bonding,and even theory of mind一the understanding that others have intentions,desires,beliefs,perceptions,and emotions different from one's own that affect their actions and behaviors. Understanding how slang functions in the lives of young people offers psychologists a window into how they connect,express themselves,and manage complex social worlds.For doctors and school psychologists,showing curiosity about the terms their patients use can build trust and create a space where they feel they can be their true selves. 28.Which of the following best describes the slang "6-7"? A.Useful and logical. B.Regional and shallow. C.Simple but expressive. D.Popular but meaningless. 29.Why do young people love slang? A.To avoid serious talks. B.To build social identity. C.To impress their peers. D.To follow online trends. 30.What does the last paragraph stress about slang? A.Its role in restoring trust. B.Its function as an analytic tool. C.Its value for a certain profession. D.Its effect on youth's mental health. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Rise of Online Expressions B.Slang:A Marker of Age Boundaries C."6-7":Word of the Year for 2025 D.Psychological Secrets Behind Teen Slang D Low-and no-calorie sweeteners are often seen as a healthy alternative to sugar. Aspartame,saccharin,acesulfame-K,erythritol,xylitol,sorbitol,and tagatose can be found in foods like flavored water,soda,energy drinks,yogurt,and low-calorie desserts. According to a study published in the Neurology,a medical journal of the American Academy,some sweeteners may come with unexpected consequences for long-term brain health. The study included 12,772 adults from across Brazil.The average age was 52,and participants were followed for an average of eight years.Participants completed questionnaires about diet at the start of the study,detailing what they took over the past year.Researchers divided them into three groups based on the total amount of artificial sweeteners consumed.The lowest group consumed an average of 20 mg/day,and the highest group 191 mg/day.Researchers tested the participants at the start,middle,and end of the study to track their memory,language,and thinking skills over time. After adjusting for factors such as age,sex,and diseases,researchers found the group who consumed the highest amount of sweeteners showed faster declines in overall thinking and memory skills.They suffered a decline that was 62%faster than those who consumed the lowest amount.This equals roughly 1.6 years of aging.When researchers broke the results down by age,they found that people under 60 who consumed the highest amounts of sweeteners showed faster declines,and they did not find links in people over 60. “While we found links to cognitive(认知的)decline for middle-aged people,”study author Claudia Suemoto said,"more research is needed to confirm our findings and to investigate if other refined sugar alternatives,such as applesauce,honey,maple syrup or coconut sugar,may be effective alternatives." 32.What does the author show by listing the foods in paragraph 1? A.The wide use of sweeteners. B.The impact of sweeteners. C.The popularity of sugary foods. D.The risk of unhealthy diet. 33.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The purposes of the study B.The procedures of the study. C.The analysis of the participants. D.The interpretation of the results. 34.What can we learn about the group consuming the most sweeteners? A.They appeared much older. B.Their cognition weakened faster. C.They suffered from more diseases. D.Their memory was less stable after 60. 35.Why is more research needed according to Suemoto? A.To address aging problems. B.To study people's eating habits. C.To explore sugar replacements. D.To confirm the benefits of sugar. 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。 What is Creative Chaos? Many people who work in creative fields often prefer a chaotic or disorderly environment around them while they work on new ideas or projects.The painter Pablo Picasso once said,"An act of art begins as an act of destruction."36 Creative chaos occurs when established patterns are broken,with the hope of something new arising from the positive chaos by the destruction.37 They often gain fresh and surprising achievements when getting through a creative deadlock. According to an old saying,one cannot make an omelette without breaking some eggs.38 One cannot create an exciting new dish without burning several pans and breaking dozens of eggs.People who do well in such an environment are most comfortable at the moment of discovery and beyond.They are less interested in the weeks or months of experimentation that lead up to it.This explains why creative people's offices are often filled to the ceiling with a mess of papers and materials.39 The excitement of a new discovery matters more. The practice of creative chaos in the workplace has long been debated.Some employees whose jobs require significant creativity often find themselves in conflict with their bosses.These bosses fail to understand their need for disorder.An artist working alone in a studio or a writer working in an office may be able to work in chaos.40 Maintaining a balance between order and disorder can be challenging for companies that need employees with creative backgrounds. A.The theory remains to be proved. B.It can be applied to different situations. C.For them,order and tidiness come second. D.But company employees may lack that luxury. E.This idea goes even further with creative chaos. F.Creative people see this moment as a breakthrough. G.It well describes the phenomenon known as creative chaos. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 First aid is especially crucial to people living by the sea,who have to 41 the rising sea levels and limited access to health care.

My husband is a brilliant man.The military trusted him with a multimillion-dollar aircraft,and only a few could do his job.However,he was not quite as experienced with boats.So,when he rented the boat,he wasn't as knowledgeable as he wanted to be.He noticed two small holes in the bottom of the boat as the young employee explained everything he needed to know."Shouldn't there be plugs for those holes down there?"he asked."Oh,no.Those are for allowing any water that gets in the boat to flow out.They sit above the water line,"said the man.Henry was doubtful but didn't question the answer. After all,he was a trained employee.Or at least,we believed so. Then the day came,and we set out with our two oldest children.Putting on life jackets, we pushed off into the current.Splendid mountains towered over us while an eagle flew high in the clear blue sky.We knew we would make unforgettable memories. The first part of the river was calm and peaceful.Henry,after watching numerous YouTube videos,rowed the boat expertly while the rest of us oohed and aahed at the scenery.Pretty soon we came to the first section of rocks and faster water.No problem.We made it through and continued down the river. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 However,it wasn't long before the boat started filling with water.
