B Bao Zheng, widely known as Bao Gong or “Justice Bao”, is a great historical figure in China celebrated for his commitment to justice, clean government, and the rule of law. Born in Hefei, Anhui Province, Bao is remembered for his wisdom in taking charge of criminal cases, his fearless advice to the emperor, and his deep hatred of wrongdoing. His stories have been passed down for centuries through folk tales, operas, films, and TV dramas. Today, lectures on Bao’s life and values are held regularly at Hefei’s Bao Gong Park, educating civil servants on the importance of justice and clean governance. According to historical records, before Bao’s time in office, ordinary people could not start legal action against the government. After assuming office in Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng), he introduced a key reform(改革)that allowed individuals to present case information directly. This change effectively prevented officials from accepting bribes(贿赂)and falsifying legal documents. During his term in office, the Huimin River flooded frequently, causing great suffering. Challenging the rich and powerful, Bao cleared the waterways and tore down illegal structures along the banks to ease the people’s hardships. The emperor once wished to reward Bao for his outstanding service. Bao repeatedly declined generous offers and finally accepted only a small section of the city’s defensive moat(护城河). He explained that if his descendants failed to pass the imperial examinations and become officials, they could make a living by raising fish and growing lotus roots in the water — rather than abusing power. Bao passed away in 1062. In his will, he declared any descendant who engaged in wrongdoings while holding public office would be forbidden from returning to the family home or being buried in the ancestral graveyard. 4. What do the lectures aim to achieve according to paragraph 2? A. To preserve local folk tales and operas. B. To spread principles of honesty and justice. C. To promote the park as a tourist destination. D. To provide case-managing skills for civil servants. 5. What can we learn about Bao Zheng’s legal reform? A. It focused on the flood control. B. It changed officials’ moral faith. C. It allowed personal legal action. D. It required permission from officials. 6. Why did Bao only accept the city’s partial defensive moat? A. He foresaw the river’s potential value. B. He questioned the emperor’s sincerity. C. He intended to set others a moral example. D. He wanted his descendants to support themselves. 7. Which of the following best describes Bao Zheng according to the text? A. Capable and independent. B. Determined and patient. C. Principled and far-sighted. D. Ambitious and tough-minded. C Gravity seems simple in daily life: drop an apple, and it falls. On universal scales, though, gravity becomes one of science’s biggest stress tests. It governs the formation of galaxies (星系) and the overall structure of the universe, yet some of the universe’s motions still do not add up. This long-running mismatch drove University of Pennsylvania astronomer Patricio A. Gallardo and his team to ask a basic but significant question: what if gravity behaves differently across the largest distances in the universe? “Astrophysics has been troubled by a massive gap,” says Gallardo. “Some stars and galaxies appear to be moving way too fast for the amount of visible matter they contain.” This leads to two possible explanations: either vast amounts of unseen “dark matter” exist, adding extra gravitational pull, or the laws of gravity need to be modified. Now, drawing on data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), the team has carried out a test of gravity on an unprecedented scale. They examined galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years. Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, show that gravitational strength decreases with increasing distance in line with the predictions made by Newton, which were later absorbed into Einstein’s general theory of relativity. “It is remarkable that the law proposed by Newton in the 17th century is still holding its ground in the 21st,” says Gallardo. These findings supported the standard model of cosmology (宇宙学). By confirming that gravity behaves as expected across vast distances, the results challenge the theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which attempt to explain universal behavior by modifying the laws of gravity. When Newton first described the inverse square relationship, he focused on motions within our Solar System. Today, that same principle has been tested across distances and masses that were, as Gallardo notes, “inconceivable in Newton’s day.” 8. What is the main intention of the study? A. To test gravity at universal scales. B. To measure the stars’ moving speed. C. To compare different laws of gravity. D. To prove the existence of dark matter. 9. What can be inferred about the team’s discovery? A. Gravity weakens with the decrease of distances. B. Newton’s theory lacks enough striking evidence. C. Newton’s gravity law works across vast distances. D. The law of gravity was based on Einstein’s research. 10. What does the underlined word “inconceivable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Unbelievable. B. Significant. C. Inspiring. D. Fascinating. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Mystery of Dark Matter Finally Solved. B. Data from ACT Challenges Law of Gravity. C. An Unchanging Law in an Expanding Universe. D. Universal Test Confirms Gravity’s Staying Power. D Do you have a certain song that helps you weather your life’s storms? Whose lyrics inspire your feelings, or whose beat shakes you out of your thought? Do you listen to music to reflect your mood? Or maybe even to change your mood? Think back to those tough days in 2020 pandemic crisis. Each evening, folks in Italy, Canada and the US would open their windows and sing together. And people in other countries also found ways to share music — including people singing together virtually online. Their collective music-making was a remarkable testament to the human drive for survival. It was also a powerful reminder that our individual survival is linked to the solidarity we find in our shared humanity. Openly participating together in expressing the hope that keeps us going feels natural in the midst of a scary situation affecting everyone. Research suggests that singing together develops both individual health and social bonds among those who join in. Put simply, the endorphins (内啡肽) it releases in our brains make us feel good. They also increase our ability to stand pain — including emotional pain. Listening to music has been found to reduce stress and anxiety even in critically ill hospital patients. One study found that even front-line nurses — a profession already high in stress and higher than ever — can reduce their stress by taking a break and listening to soothing music. In the study, one group of nurses listened to soothing music of their choice for 30 minutes while the other group simply rested quietly in a chair for 30 minutes. Researchers found after the 30-minute rest the nurses who listened to music had lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇), the stress hormone (荷尔蒙), than those who had simply rested. Recent research demonstrates that adding music to standard therapeutic tools made a difference for people with depression and anxiety compared with therapy without music. 12. What function do the questions serve in paragraph 1? A. To list popular songs for storms. B. To share personal music preferences. C. To connect with readers emotionally. D. To test readers' knowledge about music. 13. What does paragraph 2 imply about collective music-making? A. Music is a universal language. B. Human survival relies on shared unity. C. It replaced public medical treatment. D. Musicians play a significant role in crisis. 14. What may account for the finding of the study on nurses? A. Calming music reduces stress hormone levels. B. Endorphins prevents the emotional control. C. Resting alone effectively improves mood. D. Quiet rest helps maintain cortisol level. 15. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Nurses benefit from music care and treatment. B. People prefer to sing together virtually online. C. Different groups show varied reactions to music. D. Music strengthens people’s health and connection. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Creative Ways to Celebrate Cultural Diversity In today’s multicultural society, cooperation is important. ____16____ Here are a few ways to get started.

Role-playing lets children step into another’s world,trading places with a classmate or a book character to learn about a different culture. It pushes them to examine their own beliefs while gaining insight into others' experiences. They discover that different cultures carry different values and behaviors. Through this, students feel what it is like to walk in someone else’s shoes. To make it meaningful, they should research and prepare ahead of time.____20____ Done thoughtfully, this is an experience students will carry with them forever. A. Writing is a perfect place to begin. B. Personally, schools play an important role in this effort. C. Social interaction builds friendships across lines of difference. D. Beyond the subjects, how students learn together also matters. E. Teachers can decorate classrooms with flags from around the world F. Students also learn to speak a second language through such activities. G. Their performance should clearly reflect the culture they are illustrating. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Most ten-year-olds don’t have the patience to sort through star images for thousands of hours.

Born in Hefei, Anhui Province, Bao is remembered for his wisdom in taking charge of criminal cases, his fearless advice to the emperor, and his deep hatred of wrongdoing. His stories have been passed down for centuries through folk tales, operas, films, and TV dramas. Today, lectures on Bao’s life and values are held regularly at Hefei’s Bao Gong Park, educating civil servants on the importance of justice and clean governance. According to historical records, before Bao’s time in office, ordinary people could not start legal action against the government. After assuming office in Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng), he introduced a key reform(改革)that allowed individuals to present case information directly. This change effectively prevented officials from accepting bribes(贿赂)and falsifying legal documents. During his term in office, the Huimin River flooded frequently, causing great suffering. Challenging the rich and powerful, Bao cleared the waterways and tore down illegal structures along the banks to ease the people’s hardships. The emperor once wished to reward Bao for his outstanding service. Bao repeatedly declined generous offers and finally accepted only a small section of the city’s defensive moat(护城河). He explained that if his descendants failed to pass the imperial examinations and become officials, they could make a living by raising fish and growing lotus roots in the water — rather than abusing power. Bao passed away in 1062. In his will, he declared any descendant who engaged in wrongdoings while holding public office would be forbidden from returning to the family home or being buried in the ancestral graveyard. 4. What do the lectures aim to achieve according to paragraph 2? A. To preserve local folk tales and operas. B. To spread principles of honesty and justice. C. To promote the park as a tourist destination. D. To provide case-managing skills for civil servants. 5. What can we learn about Bao Zheng’s legal reform? A. It focused on the flood control. B. It changed officials’ moral faith. C. It allowed personal legal action. D. It required permission from officials. 6. Why did Bao only accept the city’s partial defensive moat? A. He foresaw the river’s potential value. B. He questioned the emperor’s sincerity. C. He intended to set others a moral example. D. He wanted his descendants to support themselves. 7. Which of the following best describes Bao Zheng according to the text? A. Capable and independent. B. Determined and patient. C. Principled and far-sighted. D. Ambitious and tough-minded. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国历史上以公正廉洁、依法治国闻名的包拯的生平事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, lectures on Bao’s life and values are held regularly at Hefei’s Bao Gong Park, educating civil servants on the importance of justice and clean governance.(如今，合肥包公祠会定期举办讲座，讲述包拯的生平与品格，教育公职人员坚守公正、廉洁从政。)”可知，讲座用来教育公职人员坚守公正与廉洁。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to historical records, before Bao’s time in office, ordinary people could not start legal action against the government. After assuming office in Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng), he introduced a key reform (改革) that allowed individuals to present case information directly.(据史料记载，在包拯任职之前，普通百姓不能状告官府。他在汴京（今开封）上任后推行了一项重要改革：准许百姓直接递交诉状。)”可知，关于包拯的法制改革，我们可以得知它允许百姓个人提起诉讼。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He explained that if his descendants failed to pass the imperial examinations and become officials, they could make a living by raising fish and growing lotus roots in the water — rather than abusing power.(他解释道，如果子孙后代科举落第、无法入仕为官，尚可依靠养鱼、种藕谋生度日，而非依仗权势作威作福。)”可知，他收下护城河，是为了让子孙后代能自食其力。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Born in Hefei, Anhui Province, Bao is remembered for his wisdom in taking charge of criminal cases, his fearless advice to the emperor, and his deep hatred of wrongdoing. (他断案足智多谋，敢于直言劝谏君主，嫉恶如仇，这些事迹一直被后人铭记。)”和第四段“He explained that if his descendants failed to pass the imperial examinations and become officials, they could make a living by raising fish and growing lotus roots in the water — rather than abusing power.(他解释道，如果子孙后代科举落第、无法入仕为官，尚可依靠养鱼、种藕谋生度日，而非依仗权势作威作福。)”可知，他坚守原则并且有远见。 C Gravity seems simple in daily life: drop an apple, and it falls. On universal scales, though, gravity becomes one of science’s biggest stress tests. It governs the formation of galaxies (星系) and the overall structure of the universe, yet some of the universe’s motions still do not add up. This long-running mismatch drove University of Pennsylvania astronomer Patricio A. Gallardo and his team to ask a basic but significant question: what if gravity behaves differently across the largest distances in the universe? “Astrophysics has been troubled by a massive gap,” says Gallardo. “Some stars and galaxies appear to be moving way too fast for the amount of visible matter they contain.” This leads to two possible explanations: either vast amounts of unseen “dark matter” exist, adding extra gravitational pull, or the laws of gravity need to be modified. Now, drawing on data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), the team has carried out a test of gravity on an unprecedented scale. They examined galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years. Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, show that gravitational strength decreases with increasing distance in line with the predictions made by Newton, which were later absorbed into Einstein’s general theory of relativity. “It is remarkable that the law proposed by Newton in the 17th century is still holding its ground in the 21st,” says Gallardo. These findings supported the standard model of cosmology (宇宙学). By confirming that gravity behaves as expected across vast distances, the results challenge the theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which attempt to explain universal behavior by modifying the laws of gravity. When Newton first described the inverse square relationship, he focused on motions within our Solar System. Today, that same principle has been tested across distances and masses that were, as Gallardo notes, “inconceivable in Newton’s day.” 8. What is the main intention of the study? A. To test gravity at universal scales. B. To measure the stars’ moving speed. C. To compare different laws of gravity. D. To prove the existence of dark matter. 9. What can be inferred about the team’s discovery? A. Gravity weakens with the decrease of distances. B. Newton’s theory lacks enough striking evidence. C. Newton’s gravity law works across vast distances. D. The law of gravity was based on Einstein’s research. 10. What does the underlined word “inconceivable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Unbelievable. B. Significant. C. Inspiring. D. Fascinating. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Mystery of Dark Matter Finally Solved. B. Data from ACT Challenges Law of Gravity. C. An Unchanging Law in an Expanding Universe. D. Universal Test Confirms Gravity’s Staying Power. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕一场宇宙尺度的引力测试展开，最终证实经典引力定律依然有效。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“what if gravity behaves differently across the largest distances in the universe?(倘若引力在宇宙最遥远的尺度下表现出不一样的特性，将会如何？)”可知，研究核心目的是在宇宙尺度下检验引力规律。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, show that gravitational strength decreases with increasing distance in line with the predictions made by Newton, which were later absorbed into Einstein’s general theory of relativity. “It is remarkable that the law proposed by Newton in the 17th century is still holding its ground in the 21st,” says Gallardo.(该团队发表在《物理评论快报》上的研究结果表明：引力强度会随着距离的增加而减弱，这与牛顿的预言完全一致，而牛顿的理论后来也被纳入了爱因斯坦的广义相对论。加利亚多说道：“牛顿在17世纪提出的定律，到了21世纪依然站得住脚，这实在令人惊叹。”)”可知，实验证实牛顿引力定律在极远距离下依然成立。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“When Newton first described the inverse square relationship, he focused on motions within our Solar System. Today, that same principle has been tested across distances and masses(牛顿最初提出平方反比定律时，研究对象仅限于太阳系内天体的运动。而如今，这同一套原理已经在超大距离与超大质量范围内接受了检验)”可知，这样的尺度在牛顿所处的年代是根本无法想象的。由此可知，inconceivable意为“无法想象的，难以置信的”。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕一场宇宙尺度的引力测试展开，最终证实经典引力定律依然有效。由此可知，D项“宇宙级试验证实引力定律经久不衰”是最好的标题。 D Do you have a certain song that helps you weather your life’s storms? Whose lyrics inspire your feelings, or whose beat shakes you out of your thought? Do you listen to music to reflect your mood? Or maybe even to change your mood? Think back to those tough days in 2020 pandemic crisis. Each evening, folks in Italy, Canada and the US would open their windows and sing together. And people in other countries also found ways to share music — including people singing together virtually online. Their collective music-making was a remarkable testament to the human drive for survival. It was also a powerful reminder that our individual survival is linked to the solidarity we find in our shared humanity. Openly participating together in expressing the hope that keeps us going feels natural in the midst of a scary situation affecting everyone. Research suggests that singing together develops both individual health and social bonds among those who join in. Put simply, the endorphins (内啡肽) it releases in our brains make us feel good. They also increase our ability to stand pain — including emotional pain. Listening to music has been found to reduce stress and anxiety even in critically ill hospital patients. One study found that even front-line nurses — a profession already high in stress and higher than ever — can reduce their stress by taking a break and listening to soothing music. In the study, one group of nurses listened to soothing music of their choice for 30 minutes while the other group simply rested quietly in a chair for 30 minutes. Researchers found after the 30-minute rest the nurses who listened to music had lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇), the stress hormone (荷尔蒙), than those who had simply rested. Recent research demonstrates that adding music to standard therapeutic tools made a difference for people with depression and anxiety compared with therapy without music. 12. What function do the questions serve in paragraph 1? A. To list popular songs for storms. B. To share personal music preferences. C. To connect with readers emotionally. D. To test readers' knowledge about music. 13. What does paragraph 2 imply about collective music-making? A. Music is a universal language. B. Human survival relies on shared unity. C. It replaced public medical treatment. D. Musicians play a significant role in crisis. 14. What may account for the finding of the study on nurses? A. Calming music reduces stress hormone levels. B. Endorphins prevents the emotional control. C. Resting alone effectively improves mood. D. Quiet rest helps maintain cortisol level. 15. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Nurses benefit from music care and treatment. B. People prefer to sing together virtually online. C. Different groups show varied reactions to music. D. Music strengthens people’s health and connection. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章以音乐与情绪的设问开篇，借疫情期间集体歌唱的事例，结合多项研究说明音乐可舒缓压力、改善身心健康，还能增强人与人之间的情感联结。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you have a certain song that helps you weather your life’s storms? Whose lyrics inspire your feelings, or whose beat shakes you out of your thought? Do you listen to music to reflect your mood? Or maybe even to change your mood?(你是否有一首能帮你渡过人生难关的歌？哪段歌词触动你的内心，或是哪个节拍让你走出思绪？你会听歌抒发情绪吗？甚至是靠音乐调整心情吗？)”可知，作者以一连串贴近每个人生活的设问，拉近与读者距离，从情感上引发读者共鸣，起到情感联结的作用。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It was also a powerful reminder that our individual survival is linked to the solidarity we find in our shared humanity.(这也有力地提醒我们，个人的生存离不开人类共通情感中凝聚的团结力量。)”可知，集体歌唱这件事暗含一层含义：人类的生存依靠彼此共享的团结。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Researchers found after the 30-minute rest the nurses who listened to music had lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇), the stress hormone (荷尔蒙), than those who had simply rested.(研究人员发现，休息三十分钟后，听舒缓音乐的护士体内皮质醇（压力荷尔蒙）水平低于单纯静坐休息的护士。)”可知，舒缓音乐能够降低压力荷尔蒙水平，这是该与护士相关研究结果产生的原因。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Research suggests that singing together develops both individual health and social bonds among those who join in.(研究表明，一同歌唱既能改善个人健康，也能加深参与者之间的社交联结)”，结合第四段“Listening to music has been found to reduce stress and anxiety even in critically ill hospital patients.(听音乐可以减轻重症患者的压力与焦虑。)”、最后一段“Recent research demonstrates that adding music to standard therapeutic tools made a difference for people with depression and anxiety compared with therapy without music.(最新研究表明：相较于不搭配音乐的常规心理治疗，在标准治疗手段中加入音乐，能够有效改善抑郁症与焦虑症患者的状态。)”可知，全文围绕两大核心：音乐有益于人体身心健康，同时拉近人与人之间的情感联结。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Creative Ways to Celebrate Cultural Diversity In today’s multicultural society, cooperation is important. ____16____ Here are a few ways to get started. A great first step is to bring culture into all subjects. Culture doesn’t just belong in social studies. It should show up in the little moments — in all subjects, all year long. ____17____ Teachers can give students opportunities to write about a family tradition, a celebration, or a recipe that matters to them. Let them interview someone at home. This is how they learn that their voices and the voices of others truly matter. When cultural diversity becomes part of everyday teaching, students truly value it. ____18____ One proven strategy is cooperative learning. This approach groups students by academic performance, race, gender, and language proficiency. They work in small teams to complete shared tasks. Studies show that cooperative learning helps children become more accepting of differences.The positive effects are especially clear for students from culturally diverse backgrounds. ____19____ Another powerful tool is role play. Role-playing lets children step into another’s world,trading places with a classmate or a book character to learn about a different culture. It pushes them to examine their own beliefs while gaining insight into others' experiences. They discover that different cultures carry different values and behaviors. Through this, students feel what it is like to walk in someone else’s shoes. To make it meaningful, they should research and prepare ahead of time.____20____ Done thoughtfully, this is an experience students will carry with them forever. A. Writing is a perfect place to begin. B. Personally, schools play an important role in this effort. C. Social interaction builds friendships across lines of difference. D. Beyond the subjects, how students learn together also matters. E. Teachers can decorate classrooms with flags from around the world F. Students also learn to speak a second language through such activities. G. Their performance should clearly reflect the culture they are illustrating. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. C 20.
