B
Earlier this year, I was looking for part-time work. Moonmilk, a cake and ice cream shop nearby, was hiring, so I went in for a trial shift. I practiced scooping ice cream for 20 minutes and talked to the manager for 40 minutes about our favorite pizza spots. I immediately knew this place was special. While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.
Once, a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order. He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord. Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake. Later, the union leader – so moved by the gesture – delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff.
The older women customers are among my favorites. Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired. One regular, always alone and smiling, is kind and generous, ordering methodically and always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city.
There’s also the guy who comes in frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor – that we only ever have at Christmas. I always have to say no, but his persistence brings me joy, especially on days when I’m tired.
As with any job, there are unpleasant moments. My wrist (手腕) often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream, and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order, holding up all the others waiting.
In the fall, my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to reduce my shifts. I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often. The winter months are long and the owner has spoken about days when only three people come in.
But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community. The interactions and connections I’ve made will keep me going until at least next summer. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream has returned by then.
41. What initially drew the author to work at Moonmilk?
A. A love for cake and ice cream.
B. The chance to earn extra money.
C. A personal connection to the shop.
D. The manager’s engaging personality.
42. What does the underlined word “disarming” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Heartwarming. B. Surprising.
C. Distracting. D. Embarrassing.
43. How does the author feel about working fewer shifts in the winter?
A. Eager. B. Relieved.
C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
44. What lasting effect did the job at Moonmilk have on the author?
A. A renewed sense of purpose. B. Improved interpersonal skills.
C. A greater sense of belonging. D. A strengthened sense of duty.
45. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To describe the daily routine at Moonmilk.
B. To explain how to handle difficult customers.
C. To share a meaningful experience that changed her.
D. To advertise Moonmilk as a great workplace for her.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. C 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在Moonmilk蛋糕冰淇淋店做兼职的经历。虽然最初只是为了在夏天赚些外快,但在那里收获的人际关系和美好回忆让作者感到与当地社区联系更紧密,这段经历比任何薪水都更有价值。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.(初我仅仅是想在暑假期间赚点额外的钱,但在那里建立起来的友谊和回忆最终证明比任何一份薪水都要珍贵得多)”可知,作者最初去Moonmilk工作是为了赚外快。

C
Long before dinosaurs lived on Earth, the land looked very different from today. Around 500 million years ago, most of Earth’s surface was bare rock and dry soil, and life existed almost entirely in the oceans. Then something amazing happened: plants began to grow on land.
The journey of plants started with simple green life-forms like algae (藻类), which have been living in oceans and lakes for over a billion years. Using sunlight, water and CO₂, algae make sugars as well as oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). At first, Earth’s atmosphere had little oxygen, but algae, along with some bacteria, changed that over millions of years. This made it possible for larger and more complex life forms to appear.
The first true plants developed from green algae 470 million years ago. Living in shallow water near shores, they were sometimes underwater and sometimes above the surface. Slowly, they adapted to dry land with many new features. These included stronger cell walls, which enabled plants to stand upright against gravity. They also developed rootlike structures to hold onto the soil and take water and nutrients.
The earliest land plants stayed close to the ground. Some, like Cooksonia, had small stems only about 2.5 to 5 centimeters tall. Though small, these plants made a big impact. Besides adding oxygen to the air, they used their roots to break down rocks into soil. This process, called weathering, created richer soil that could support more life. The plants also provided homes and food sources for animals moving from oceans onto land.
Around 420 million years ago, plants developed tiny tubes that move water and nutrients upward from the roots to the leaves. This allowed plants to grow taller and stronger. By about 360 million years ago, forests covered much of Earth.
Another big leap happened around 380 million years ago with the development of seeds. This meant plants could reproduce without needing water for fertilization. Flowering plants then came along about 140 million years ago. Their flowers attracted animals to spread pollen, and their fruits helped protect the seeds.
Plants changed the atmosphere, built soil and created ecosystems that allowed animals to develop on land. Thanks to plant evolution, Earth became a green planet full of diverse life.
46. According to the text, what role did algae play in Earth’s history?
A. They reduced the number of bacteria in the oceans.
B. They helped increase oxygen in the atmosphere.
C. They evolved directly into complex life forms.
D. They significantly decreased CO2 levels in the air.
47. Why were early land plants able to stand upright?
A. They had deep root systems. B. They took in enough sunlight.
C. They lived in shallow water. D. They developed stronger cell walls.
48. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The formation of soil through weathering.
B. The multiple effects of early land plants.
C. The challenges early land plants faced.
D. The role of plants in supporting animal life.
49. What can be inferred from the text about the period when seeds first appeared?
A. Plants started to develop tiny tubes.
B. Forests spread across most of Earth’s land.
C. Plants could reproduce without depending on water.
D. Flowering plants were already common on Earth.
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How weathering created soil. B. The rise of flowering plants.
C. The first animals on land. D. Seeding the future.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了地球上植物从海洋中的藻类逐步演化到陆地植物,再到种子植物和开花植物的漫长历程,以及植物进化如何改变了大气、形成了土壤并为陆地动物的发展创造了条件。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Using sunlight, water and CO₂, algae make sugars as well as oxygen through photosynthesis. At first, Earth's atmosphere had little oxygen, but algae, along with some bacteria, changed that over millions of years. (藻类利用阳光、水和二氧化碳通过光合作用制造糖和氧气。起初,地球大气层中几乎没有氧气,但藻类和一些细菌在数百万年间改变了这一点。)”可知,藻类通过光合作用帮助增加了大气中的氧气含量。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These included stronger cell walls, which enabled plants to stand upright against gravity. (这些新特征包括更坚固的细胞壁,使植物能够抵抗重力直立生长。)”可知,早期陆地植物能够直立是因为它们发展出了更坚固的细胞壁。
【48题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Besides adding oxygen to the air, they used their roots to break down rocks into soil. This process, called weathering, created richer soil that could support more life. The plants also provided homes and food sources for animals moving from oceans onto land. (除了向空气中补充氧气外,它们还利用根系将岩石分解为土壤。这一被称为风化的过程形成了更肥沃的土壤,从而能够支持更多的生命生长。这些植物也为从海洋迁徙至陆地的动物提供了栖息地和食物来源。)”可知,本段主要讲述了早期陆地植物产生的多方面影响,包括增加氧气、形成土壤、为动物提供栖息地和食物等。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Another big leap happened around 380 million years ago with the development of seeds. This meant plants could reproduce without needing water for fertilization. (大约3.8亿年前,随着种子的发展,又发生了一次重大飞跃。这意味着植物可以在不需要水来受精的情况下繁殖。)”可知,种子出现后,植物可以不依赖水进行繁殖。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了植物从藻类到开花植物的漫长进化历程,以及植物如何改变地球、为未来生命奠定基础。D项“Seeding the future”既指种子的出现,又暗含“为未来播下种子”之意,最能概括全文主旨,适合作标题。
第Ⅱ卷 (共40分)
第四部分:写作 (共三节,满分40分)
第一节:阅读表达 (每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。
After retiring from professional soccer in 2023, Amir Lowery returned home and began coaching at a youth club. He knew that the city’s immigration communities included many soccer enthusiasts, but girls and boys from such communities were nowhere to be seen on the costly club circuit. Two years later, Lowery co-founded the Open Goal Project to help talented young players who could not afford club fees. The program supports about 500 children who play on eight free club teams, in a mini-league, and at summer camps. Beyond soccer skills, participants learn nutrition, financial knowledge, and receive academic and college guidance.
Joining his first soccer program at age 4, Lowery played for youth clubs and his parents sacrificed time, money and energy to transport him to games and tournaments. He had a social network of people who were in favour of his passion and really wanted to see him succeed. That foundation helped him earn a full scholarship to Wake Forest University, where he captained the men’s team before joining Major LeagueSoccer.
The Open Goal Project operates on an annual budget of roughly $ 700,000. Local officials — say the families it serves would otherwise have no access to high — level soccer. Lowery also hopes the program will broaden the soccer talent pool, and argues that rising costs — often near $ 1,000 a year per child — preclude many skilled players. Removing financial barriers, he believes, would reveal much untapped talent.
On a sunny afternoon, Lowery leads a practice on a field, where dozens of kids train and parents sit in chairs, watching proudly. Precious Ogu, once an early Open Goal Project participant, understands how priceless such sense of belonging is. Feeling out of place in a wealthy suburban club shaped her belief in the Open Goal Project’s mission. As practice ends and the children walk off the field, it’s clear they leave with more than ball skills.
Together, they are building not just better players, but a community where every child, regardless of background, has a chance to belong and dream.
51. Why did Amir Lowery co-found the Open Goal Project? (no more than 15 words)
_____________________________________________________________
52. What contributed to Lowery’s early success according to paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words)

55. Do you consider Amir Lowery as your role model? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】51. To help talented young players who couldn’t afford club fees.
52. His parents’ sacrifice and supportive social network. 53. Prevent.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍前职业足球运动员阿米尔·洛厄里2023年退役后,为帮助无力承担高昂俱乐部费用的有天赋青少年,创立免费的“开放进球计划”。该计划提供足球训练及学业生活全方位支持,同时为不同背景的孩子构建了有归属感的包容社区,助力他们追逐梦想。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Two years later, Lowery co-founded the Open Goal Project to help talented young players who could not afford club fees.(两年后,洛厄里联合创立了‘开放进球计划’,帮助那些付不起俱乐部费用的有天赋的年轻球员)”可知,洛厄里创立该项目的直接目的是帮助付不起俱乐部费用的有天赋的年轻球员。
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Joining his first soccer program at age 4, Lowery played for youth clubs and his parents sacrificed time, money and energy to transport him to games and tournaments. He had a social network of people who were in favour of his passion and really wanted to see him succeed.(洛厄尔4岁时加入了首个足球项目,此后效力于多家青年俱乐部,他的父母牺牲了时间、金钱与精力,接送他参加各类比赛和锦标赛。他身边有一群支持他这份热爱、真心期盼他取得成功的人)”可知,洛厄里早期成功的两个核心促成因素是父母的牺牲和支持他的社交网络。
【53题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据画线词“preclude”前面的“rising costs — often near $ 1,000 a year per child(不断上涨的费用——通常每名儿童每年接近1000美元)”和后面“Removing financial barriers, he believes, would reveal much untapped talent.(他相信,消除经济障碍会发掘出许多未被开发的天赋)”可知,高昂的费用会阻止很多有天赋的球员参与,“preclude”在此含有“阻止”之意。
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Precious Ogu, once an early Open Goal Project participant, understands how priceless such sense of belonging is.(普雷舍斯·奥古曾是开放进球计划的早期参与者,她明白这种归属感是多么无价)”可知,对普雷舍斯·奥古来说,项目最重要的方面是归属感。
【55题详解】
开放性题目。本题要求回答:你认为阿米尔・洛厄里是你的榜样吗?请说明理由,不超过20词。根据第五段中的“Together, they are building not just better players, but a community where every child, regardless of background, has a chance to belong and dream.(他们共同努力,不仅培养出更优秀的球员,还构建了一个让每个孩子无论背景如何,都有机会获得归属感和追逐梦想的社区)”可知,洛厄里用自身成功经历回馈社会,帮助弱势儿童实现梦想,传递了平等与包容的价值观。因此,我认为阿米尔・洛厄里是我的榜样,理由是他帮助贫困儿童追逐梦想,打造一个包容互助的社区。

Earlier this year, I was looking for part-time work. Moonmilk, a cake and ice cream shop nearby, was hiring, so I went in for a trial shift. I practiced scooping ice cream for 20 minutes and talked to the manager for 40 minutes about our favorite pizza spots. I immediately knew this place was special. While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.
Once, a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order. He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord. Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake. Later, the union leader – so moved by the gesture – delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff.
The older women customers are among my favorites. Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired. One regular, always alone and smiling, is kind and generous, ordering methodically and always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city.
There’s also the guy who comes in frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor – that we only ever have at Christmas. I always have to say no, but his persistence brings me joy, especially on days when I’m tired.
As with any job, there are unpleasant moments. My wrist (手腕) often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream, and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order, holding up all the others waiting.
In the fall, my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to reduce my shifts. I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often. The winter months are long and the owner has spoken about days when only three people come in.
But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community. The interactions and connections I’ve made will keep me going until at least next summer. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream has returned by then.

Long before dinosaurs lived on Earth, the land looked very different from today. Around 500 million years ago, most of Earth’s surface was bare rock and dry soil, and life existed almost entirely in the oceans. Then something amazing happened: plants began to grow on land.
The journey of plants started with simple green life-forms like algae (藻类), which have been living in oceans and lakes for over a billion years. Using sunlight, water and CO₂, algae make sugars as well as oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). At first, Earth’s atmosphere had little oxygen, but algae, along with some bacteria, changed that over millions of years. This made it possible for larger and more complex life forms to appear.
The first true plants developed from green algae 470 million years ago. Living in shallow water near shores, they were sometimes underwater and sometimes above the surface. Slowly, they adapted to dry land with many new features. These included stronger cell walls, which enabled plants to stand upright against gravity. They also developed rootlike structures to hold onto the soil and take water and nutrients.
The earliest land plants stayed close to the ground. Some, like Cooksonia, had small stems only about 2.5 to 5 centimeters tall. Though small, these plants made a big impact. Besides adding oxygen to the air, they used their roots to break down rocks into soil. This process, called weathering, created richer soil that could support more life. The plants also provided homes and food sources for animals moving from oceans onto land.
Around 420 million years ago, plants developed tiny tubes that move water and nutrients upward from the roots to the leaves. This allowed plants to grow taller and stronger. By about 360 million years ago, forests covered much of Earth.
Another big leap happened around 380 million years ago with the development of seeds. This meant plants could reproduce without needing water for fertilization. Flowering plants then came along about 140 million years ago. Their flowers attracted animals to spread pollen, and their fruits helped protect the seeds.
Plants changed the atmosphere, built soil and created ecosystems that allowed animals to develop on land. Thanks to plant evolution, Earth became a green planet full of diverse life.
46. According to the text, what role did algae play in Earth’s history?
A. They reduced the number of bacteria in the oceans.
B. They helped increase oxygen in the atmosphere.
C. They evolved directly into complex life forms.
D. They significantly decreased CO2 levels in the air.
47. Why were early land plants able to stand upright?
A. They had deep root systems. B. They took in enough sunlight.
C. They lived in shallow water. D. They developed stronger cell walls.
48. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The formation of soil through weathering.
B. The multiple effects of early land plants.
C. The challenges early land plants faced.
D. The role of plants in supporting animal life.
49. What can be inferred from the text about the period when seeds first appeared?
A. Plants started to develop tiny tubes.
B. Forests spread across most of Earth’s land.
C. Plants could reproduce without depending on water.
D. Flowering plants were already common on Earth.
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How weathering created soil. B. The rise of flowering plants.
C. The first animals on land. D. Seeding the future.

阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。
After retiring from professional soccer in 2023, Amir Lowery returned home and began coaching at a youth club. He knew that the city’s immigration communities included many soccer enthusiasts, but girls and boys from such communities were nowhere to be seen on the costly club circuit. Two years later, Lowery co-founded the Open Goal Project to help talented young players who could not afford club fees. The program supports about 500 children who play on eight free club teams, in a mini-league, and at summer camps. Beyond soccer skills, participants learn nutrition, financial knowledge, and receive academic and college guidance.
Joining his first soccer program at age 4, Lowery played for youth clubs and his parents sacrificed time, money and energy to transport him to games and tournaments. He had a social network of people who were in favour of his passion and really wanted to see him succeed. That foundation helped him earn a full scholarship to Wake Forest University, where he captained the men’s team before joining Major LeagueSoccer.
The Open Goal Project operates on an annual budget of roughly $ 700,000. Local officials — say the families it serves would otherwise have no access to high — level soccer. Lowery also hopes the program will broaden the soccer talent pool, and argues that rising costs — often near $ 1,000 a year per child — preclude many skilled players. Removing financial barriers, he believes, would reveal much untapped talent.
On a sunny afternoon, Lowery leads a practice on a field, where dozens of kids train and parents sit in chairs, watching proudly. Precious Ogu, once an early Open Goal Project participant, understands how priceless such sense of belonging is. Feeling out of place in a wealthy suburban club shaped her belief in the Open Goal Project’s mission. As practice ends and the children walk off the field, it’s clear they leave with more than ball skills.
Together, they are building not just better players, but a community where every child, regardless of background, has a chance to belong and dream.
