These insightful books introduce the popular trend of “City Walk” — the art of exploring urban spaces on foot with curiosity and attention to detail. Discover hidden layers of your surroundings through the pages of the following guides. City Walk by Urban Explorers Association, 58 pages, all ages Seeing a busy city street, do you wonder how people truly experience urban life? Many rush through cities without noticing details. This book explains how walking slowly helps uncover hidden aspects of urban spaces. As cities evolve, walking routes change too. Future technologies may offer new ways to explore, but for now walkers use observation and curiosity to discover what makes each neighborhood unique. Beyond Tourist Attractions by Maria Chen, 128 pages, ages 12 and up This book takes readers through the history of urban walking — from ancient pilgrims to modern flâneurs — and forward to today’s organized city walks. Along with historical insights, readers get 15 activities, such as mapping a neighborhood’s soundscape and creating a photographic journal of architectural details, sketching street scenes to capture everyday life, and interviewing local residents about their neighborhood memories. The activities are perfect for weekends or holidays when you have more free time. Ultimate City Nature Guide by David Park and Lisa Wang, 272 pages, ages 10 and older If you’re always noticing plants growing in sidewalk cracks or birds nesting on buildings, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of urban wildlife and green spaces fill this guide. There are fascinating facts accompanying the photos. For example, do you know some cities have more tree species per square mile than nearby forests? There’s a question-and-answer section with an urban ecologist and advice on how to document your own city nature findings. Journey Into Everyday Streets by Sophie Williams, 80 pages, all ages If you walk the same route regularly, you might miss subtle changes. This book explains what mindful walking involves and then shows what happens when you observe familiar streets with fresh eyes. An ordinary café, when examined closely, reveals patterns of community interaction. Fascinating observations are paired with suggestions about how to learn about urban life, just by paying more attention during your daily walks. 21. What common advice do all four books give to readers? A. Follow the lead of curiosity and the insight of the city. B. Take photos of the details of modern urban architecture. C. Walk slowly and observe urban surroundings carefully. D. Interview local residents about neighborhood memories. 22. Which of the following activities is included in Beyond Tourist Attractions? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍四本城市漫步主题书籍，各有侧重，分别讲解慢走探索、徒步活动、城市自然、用心观察街巷等内容，并附对应适合人群与特色内容。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Looking for a new way to see your city? These insightful books introduce the popular trend of “City Walk” — the art of exploring urban spaces on foot with curiosity and attention to detail. Discover hidden layers of your surroundings through the pages of the following guides.(想要寻找一种全新的方式来领略你的城市吗？这些富有洞察力的书籍介绍了“城市漫步”这一流行趋势——一种通过带着好奇心和对细节的关注来徒步探索城市空间的活动。通过以下指南的页面，你可以发现周围环境的隐藏层次)”可知，这四本书都建议读者走得慢一些，并仔细观察周围的城市环境。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Along with historical insights, readers get 15 activities, such as mapping a neighborhood’s soundscape and creating a photographic journal of architectural details, sketching street scenes to capture everyday life, and interviewing local residents about their neighborhood memories.(除了丰富的历史知识外，读者还能参与15项活动，比如绘制一个社区的声景图、制作一份关于建筑细节的摄影日志、描绘街道场景以捕捉日常生活，以及采访当地居民了解他们对所在社区的记忆)”可知，用照片记录建筑细节包含在Beyond Tourist Attractions 中。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“If you walk the same route regularly, you might miss subtle changes. This book explains what mindful walking involves and then shows what happens when you observe familiar streets with fresh eyes. An ordinary café, when examined closely, reveals patterns of community interaction. Fascinating observations are paired with suggestions about how to learn about urban life, just by paying more attention during your daily walks.(如果你经常沿着同样的路线行走，你可能会忽略一些细微的变化。这本书首先解释了专注行走的内涵，然后展示了当你以全新的视角观察熟悉的街道时会发生什么。一家普通的咖啡馆，如果仔细观察，就会展现出社区互动的模式。有趣的观察结果与如何通过日常行走时更加专注来了解城市生活的方法建议相结合)”可知，对于一个对城市野生动物感兴趣的青少年来说，Ultimate City Nature Guide会是最适合的读物。 B Mike Pavlik plays a unique role in the battle against bike theft. Dressed casually, he once contacted a bike seller and pretended to be a potential buyer. He carefully checked and recorded the bike’s marks and features to make sure it was the stolen one reported by its owner. After that, he made up an excuse to test the bike and rode it away. Later, the seller sent him a message, “I guess you’re not coming back?” What the seller didn’t know, however, was that Pavlik is part of an unusual group of volunteer investigators determined to reunite stolen bikes with their owners. As bike theft becomes highly profitable, local volunteer groups like Twin Cities Stolen Bikes are emerging nationwide. Combining detective work with a sense of civilian justice, these volunteers track stolen bikes online, confront illegal sellers, and often find their work thrilling. Pavlik, 51, balances part-time work with tracking stolen bikes for his group, which has 11,000 Facebook members. They hunt thieves on platforms like Facebook Marketplace and eBay, relying on owners’ reports and bike registrations. “I love helping victims and also giving thieves what they deserve,” he says. That passion once earned him an award: in 2021, the Minneapolis Police Department honored him after he trapped a wanted criminal. Bike theft is a booming industry. It is estimated that 2 million bikes are stolen each year in North America, costing $ 1 billion, twice the figure from ten years ago. Bryan Hance, who runs a free online bike registration system, confirms that such cases are on the rise, with reported numbers climbing from 11,000 in 2019 to 16,000 last year. As the number of thefts rises and police resources remain limited, volunteers like Pavlik fill the gap. The work isn’t without risks. Pavlik has faced physical attacks, and has used pepper spray to stop attackers. To keep other volunteers safe, he advises caution: “Meet the seller at a bank with security cameras.” While the police praise such community involvement, they also stress the importance of non-violent methods. For Pavlik and his fellow investigators, however, the thrill of justice matters most. “Stopping thieves feels like winning,” he says, continuing his work without fear. 24. What is the main reason for Pavlik’s trick of riding the bike away? A. To recover the stolen bike for its owner. B. To expose the illegal trade of bikes online. C. To teach dishonest bike sellers a bitter lesson. D. To perform a secret task assigned by his group. 25. What must victims do to get help from the group? A. Join the volunteer group and receive training. B. Provide related reports and bike registrations. C. Monitor illegal bike sales on online platforms. D. Share their loss experiences on social platforms. 26. What is the main reason for the emergence of volunteer investigators? A. Victims turn to volunteers for timely assistance. B. Increasing bike thefts challenge police manpower. C. Common people long for better community security. D. Bike thefts have aroused widespread public concern. 27. What words can best describe those volunteer investigators? A. Cautious and fearful. B. Violent and competitive. C. Committed and brave. D. Ambitious and creative. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了以帕夫利克为代表的志愿调查者，他们协助追回被盗自行车。因盗车案增多、警方资源有限，志愿者挺身而出，不惧危险坚守这份工作。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What the seller didn’t know, however, was that Pavlik is part of an unusual group of volunteer investigators determined to reunite stolen bikes with their owners.(然而这名卖家并不知道，帕夫利克是一支特别志愿调查队伍的成员，这支队伍决心帮失主找回被盗自行车。)”可知，帕夫利克设法骑走自行车，主要目的是为失主追回被盗车辆。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They hunt thieves on platforms like Facebook Marketplace and eBay, relying on owners’ reports and bike registrations.(他们在脸书商城、易贝等平台追查偷车贼，依靠失主的报案信息以及自行车登记资料开展工作。)”可知，受害者需要提供相关报案记录和车辆登记信息，才能获得该志愿团队的帮助。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As the number of thefts rises and police resources remain limited, volunteers like Pavlik fill the gap.(随着盗车案件不断增多，而警方人力有限，帕夫利克这类志愿者便弥补了这一空缺。)”可知，盗车案数量增长，警方人力不足，是志愿调查者出现的主要原因。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I love helping victims and also giving thieves what they deserve.(我乐于帮助受害者，也希望让窃贼得到应有的惩罚。)”以及第五段“Pavlik has faced physical attacks, and has used pepper spray to stop attackers. To keep other volunteers safe, he advises caution: “Meet the seller at a bank with security cameras.” While the police praise such community involvement, they also stress the importance of non-violent methods. For Pavlik and his fellow investigators, however, the thrill of justice matters most. “Stopping thieves feels like winning,” he says, continuing his work without fear.(帕夫利克曾遭人身袭击，也用过胡椒喷雾制止攻击者。为保护其他志愿者安全，他建议保持警惕：“在有监控摄像头的银行与卖家见面。”警方赞扬这种社区自发行动，同时强调非暴力方式的重要性。但对帕夫利克和同伴来说，伸张正义的成就感最重要。他说：“阻止小偷就像获胜。”并无所畏惧地继续着这份工作。)”可知，这些志愿调查者既尽职尽责，又十分勇敢。 C While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth. Far from mere “messy gardening”, the practice is rooted in ecological science: a diverse plant community creates layered habitats that support pollinators (授粉者), soil microbes, and native wildlife. As climate anxiety and biodiversity loss grow, chaos gardening has emerged as an accessible solution for ordinary people to contribute to ecosystem restoration. It eliminates the need for artificial chemicals, reduces water pollution, and captures carbon. As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.” Critics often dismiss it as unmanaged neglect (忽视), but successful chaos gardening requires intentionality, not inaction. The key lies in selecting native, locally adapted seed mixes: non-native invasive species can outcompete native plants, disturbing local ecosystems, while carefully chosen native plants provide sustained food and shelter for local pollinators. Results are naturally variable — some gardens bloom into lively wildflower fields, others evolve into food-producing landscapes, making each space a unique ecological experiment. Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.” For beginners, it offers a low-pressure entry to gardening, free from the pressure of perfection. It’s more than a gardening style; it’s a mindset shift, inviting people to observe, adapt, and coexist with nature, rather than control it. In an era of environmental crisis, chaos gardening turns small, personal outdoor spaces into agents of ecological hope. 28.

Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth.(在 2023年，“混沌园艺”成为了一种在社交媒体上广为流传的潮流现象，但其“让自然主导”的核心理念却得以延续——这实际上是对古老生态园艺原则的回归，只不过这些原则是为现代房主们重新诠释的。与那些严格按照规划、依赖农药的花园不同，这种做法摒弃了僵化的设计模式，而是播撒各种各样的种子，并接纳自然生长的不确定性)”可知，作者在第一段通过描述其实践方式阐述“混沌园艺”这一核心理念。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.”(正如华盛顿大学的生态学家丽贝卡·哈特曼博士所说：“对于未经训练的眼睛而言看似毫无规律的现象，实际上却是一张错综复杂的生态关系网。而‘混沌园艺’正是利用了这种复杂性，而非与之对抗。”)”可知，哈特曼博士认为“混沌园艺”运用了生态网络。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.”(景观设计师马库斯·陈将混沌园艺理念应用于超过五十个住宅项目中。他指出：“当我告诉人们‘野生’花园往往比传统花园需要更精心的规划时，他们都会感到惊讶。实际上，并非放弃对植物的照料，而是将精力重新分配到正确的植物选择上，然后退一步观察。”)”可知，作者引用马库斯·陈的观点是为了强调有意为之的努力。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth.(在 2023年，“混沌园艺”成为了一种在社交媒体上广为流传的潮流现象，但其“让自然主导”的核心理念却得以延续——这实际上是对古老生态园艺原则的回归，只不过这些原则是为现代家庭主妇们重新诠释的。与那些严格按照规划、依赖农药的花园不同，这种做法摒弃了僵化的设计模式，而是播撒各种各样的种子，并接纳自然生长的不确定性)”结合文章主要说明了混沌园艺顺应自然、种植多样本土植物，依托生态原理保护生物多样性、改善环境。它并非放任荒芜，而是精心规划，以自然方式为生态保护带来希望。可知，C选项“狂野的外表，明智的规划”最符合文章标题。 D Every time you crowd into a packed plane, you might wonder if you will catch something from the person sitting next to you — or a few rows away. You’re not alone: researchers share that curiosity. Erica, associate professor at Northwestern University, and her colleagues tried to find out by testing face masks worn by passengers on flights to document what kinds of bugs they trapped. The team was also interested in the air circulating in hospitals and tested face masks worn by hospital staff. They collected 53 masks for analysis. They detected 407 total microbial (微生物) species from both the plane and hospital settings, with similar populations of bugs from each. The vast majority of these came from skin and are harmless, says Erica. She says most airborne microbes come from our skin, as we shed (使掉落) them everywhere we go. The kits that the team used were designed to collect DNA, so that meant the researchers primarily captured bacteria — not viruses, many of which have RNA as their genetic base (like influenza). Erica says that viruses likely make up a smaller proportion of microbes in the air than bacteria, since people shed more skin bacteria than virus particles. She notes that viruses tend to heavily depend on the right habitat in order to thrive, and once outside the body and away from cells that they can infect, they can become slightly less pernicious. The results of the study highlight the importance of developing better ways to monitor the air for disease-causing pathogens (病原体), including viruses, using sensing systems that could provide more real-time readings. “Imagine something like a gas alarm that, depending on the levels of microbes present, could automatically increase air-exchange rates or alert people to put on masks,” says Erica. Erica hopes people will remember that the air — even in tight places like a plane or hospital — may not be as full of disease-causing bacteria as we think. Still, if you are worried about getting sick, face masks are an effective way to protect yourself from pathogens, as well as protecting you from spreading bacteria to others if you are ill. 32. Why did Erica and her colleagues carry out the study? A. To compare bugs in different settings. B. To design a new air conditioning system. C. To explore infection risks in specific places. D. To prove that using face masks is ineffective. 33. How did the team collect data for their research? A. By examining DNA from skin samples. B. By tracking viruses spread among patients. C. By checking air quality inside the airplanes. D. By testing face masks from different groups. 34. What does the underlined word “pernicious” most probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Rare. B. Harmful. C. Visible. D. Stable. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Viruses are the main microbes in the air. B. Real-time air monitoring is now widely used. C. Shed skin spreads more bacteria than viruses. D. People needn’t overreact to the air in tight spaces. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了研究检测飞机和医院口罩中的微生物，发现大多无害且以细菌为主，病毒离体后危害减弱，密闭空间空气致病风险较低，口罩仍能有效防护。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Erica, associate professor at Northwestern University, and her colleagues tried to find out by testing face masks worn by passengers on flights to document what kinds of bugs they trapped. (西北大学的艾丽卡副教授及其团队通过测试飞往目的地航班上的乘客所佩戴的口罩，试图弄清楚这些口罩上究竟捕获了何种病菌。)”可知，埃丽卡和她的同事们开展这项研究是为了探究特定区域的感染风险。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The team was also interested in the air circulating in hospitals and tested face masks worn by hospital staff. They collected 53 masks for analysis. (该团队还对医院内的空气流动情况进行了研究，并对医院工作人员所佩戴的口罩进行了检测。他们收集了53个口罩用于分析。)”可知，该团队通过测试来自不同群体的口罩收集研究数据。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“viruses tend to heavily depend on the right habitat in order to thrive, and once outside the body and away from cells that they can infect, they can become slightly less (病毒往往非常依赖适宜的生存环境才能繁衍，一旦离开人体并远离它们能够感染的细胞，他们就会变得没那么……)”可知，病毒离开人体与宿主细胞后，生存条件变差，危害性下降。故划线词意思是“有害的”。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Erica hopes people will remember that the air — even in tight places like a plane or hospital — may not be as full of disease-causing bacteria as we think. (埃丽卡希望人们能明白，即便是在像飞机或医院这样的密闭环境中，空气里可能也不像我们想象的那样充满致病细菌。)”可知，人们不必对密闭空间内的空气过度担忧。 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。 Recently, a leisurely walking trend known as ColorWalk, also referred to as ColorHunting overseas, has gained immense popularity among young people on social media in China and around the world. ___36___ The rules are simple: before heading out, choose a color to focus on, then walk through the streets with the sole aim of spotting and capturing everything in that color. This simple act initiates a relaxing and healing journey. Many people find that this type of “purposeful walking” helps them temporarily escape mental conflicts and rediscover the small, beautiful moments in daily life. Ms. Kang, a participant, had long been troubled by anxiety due to overtime work. On her first ColorWalk, she chose green. During the 20-minute walk, she focused solely on finding green, and the tightness in her chest gradually faded. ___37___ When overwhelmed by studying, she went out in search of bright yellow and discovered sunsets, winter jasmine flowers, and warm yellow signs. She realized how many overlooked beauties were hidden on campus, and her mood immediately lifted. This simple task activates areas of the brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) responsible for attention control and self-regulation. ___38___ In a world that is flooded with broken bits of information, mental exhaustion is common. ColorWalk offers overworked brains and emotions a brief opportunity to reset and recover. Observing colors is also a vital part of the healing process. Different colors, with their unique light wavelengths, arouse varied feelings in the nervous system. ___39___ That is why they are often used in hospitals and counseling rooms. Bright colors such as yellow and orange are energetic and help lift low moods. The goal is not to pick the “right” color but to slow down through walking and searching, noticing the beauty often missed. In busy, nonstop days, give yourself 20 minutes.

Every birthday and every Spring Festival, she made the same wish. My parents, however, remained unconvinced, firmly believing that keeping a pet would be more trouble than pleasure, especially with two busy students in the family. Everything changed unexpectedly one Saturday afternoon. On my way home from school, I noticed a small gray cat sitting near the entrance of our apartment building. It wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, it followed me upstairs, slipped into our living room, and settled there as if it had already decided where it belonged. Lily let out a scream of excitement. “She chose us!” Lily announced, her voice trembling with certainty. My father immediately pointed to the cat hair gathering on the sofa, while my mother raised concerns about feeding schedules once exam pressure set in. After a long and cautious discussion, they finally agreed to keep the cat for one week — as a trial. We named it “Cloud,” inspired by its soft fur. In the beginning, things went smoothly. Cloud spent most of the day sleeping and followed Lily from room to room, like a loyal shadow. But soon, problems appeared. Cloud would often knock over a flower pot, scratch the curtains, and jump onto the dining table. Each small accident added to the growing unease. “This is exactly what we feared,”my father remarked. Lily tried to defend Cloud, promising to take full responsibility. I remained mostly silent, watching how quickly excitement gave way to tension. On a cold evening, after Cloud accidentally spilled a cup of water onto my homework, I lost my temper and shouted. The room fell silent. Cloud jumped down at once and hid under the sofa, curling up into a ball and not taking a single step out. Lily looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. Later that night, I found her sitting on the floor, softly calling Cloud’s name. However, it refused to come out. “If we send it away,” Lily asked in a low voice, “will it live a good life?” Her question lingered in my mind long after she went to bed. 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。 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. It huddled weakly under the sofa, emitting faint whimpers that stirred our sympathy. Lily’s eyes reddened instantly; she knelt down, gently caressing Cloud’s cold fur and murmuring soothing words. My parents rushed to purchase pet medication, while I fetched a warm towel to wrap around its tiny frame. Throughout the day, we took turns attending to it — Lily fed it warm milk with patience, my father cleaned its litter box thoroughly, and my mother monitored its temperature at regular intervals. The awkward tension in the house gradually faded, giving way to a quiet sense of unity. By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. We would keep Cloud permanently. Those days of caring for the sick cat made us realize that pet ownership is not just about pleasure, but also about responsibility and mutual warmth. Cloud, now fully recovered, ran around the house cheerfully, leaping onto the sofa and curling up in Lily’s lap. My parents no longer complained about the trouble; instead, they often smiled as they watched Lily play with Cloud. I even found myself looking forward to coming home to its warm welcome. This little gray cat had not just chosen us, but also bound our family closer together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以照顾生病的小猫Cloud为线索展开，讲述了小猫Cloud 生病后一家人齐心协力照料它，在这个过程中家庭的隔阂逐渐消散，最终一家人决定永久收养Cloud，小猫也让家人之间的关系变得更加亲密的温馨故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天一大早，我们注意到克劳德生病了，还发着烧”可知，第一段可描写小猫生病后的虚弱状态，以及家人看到后各自的反应和立刻采取的照料行动，通过一系列细致的动作描写体现家人的关心。 ②由第二段首句内容“到周末时，我们一家人做出了一个决定”可知，第二段可描写一家人经过照料小猫的经历后做出的收养决定，以及小猫康复后的状态，家人对小猫态度的转变，最后点明小猫给家庭带来的改变和文章主旨。 2.续写线索：发现小猫生病——家人各施其法照料——照料中家庭隔阂消散——周末一家人做出收养决定——小猫康复恢复活力——家人态度转变，家庭关系更亲密 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蜷缩：huddle/crouch/curl up tightly ②购买：purchase/acquire/procure ③跳跃：leap/spring/bound 情绪类 ①同情：sympathy/compassion ②欢快地：cheerfully/briskly 【点睛】【高分句型1】It huddled weakly under the sofa, emitting faint whimpers that stirred our sympathy.(运用了现在分词结构emitting作伴随状语和that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】My parents no longer complained about the trouble; instead, they often smiled as they watched Lily play with Cloud.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宁波市镇海中学英语模拟试题7 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the man want to take his parents to travel?

These insightful books introduce the popular trend of “City Walk” — the art of exploring urban spaces on foot with curiosity and attention to detail. Discover hidden layers of your surroundings through the pages of the following guides. City Walk by Urban Explorers Association, 58 pages, all ages Seeing a busy city street, do you wonder how people truly experience urban life? Many rush through cities without noticing details. This book explains how walking slowly helps uncover hidden aspects of urban spaces. As cities evolve, walking routes change too. Future technologies may offer new ways to explore, but for now walkers use observation and curiosity to discover what makes each neighborhood unique. Beyond Tourist Attractions by Maria Chen, 128 pages, ages 12 and up This book takes readers through the history of urban walking — from ancient pilgrims to modern flâneurs — and forward to today’s organized city walks. Along with historical insights, readers get 15 activities, such as mapping a neighborhood’s soundscape and creating a photographic journal of architectural details, sketching street scenes to capture everyday life, and interviewing local residents about their neighborhood memories. The activities are perfect for weekends or holidays when you have more free time. Ultimate City Nature Guide by David Park and Lisa Wang, 272 pages, ages 10 and older If you’re always noticing plants growing in sidewalk cracks or birds nesting on buildings, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of urban wildlife and green spaces fill this guide. There are fascinating facts accompanying the photos. For example, do you know some cities have more tree species per square mile than nearby forests? There’s a question-and-answer section with an urban ecologist and advice on how to document your own city nature findings. Journey Into Everyday Streets by Sophie Williams, 80 pages, all ages If you walk the same route regularly, you might miss subtle changes. This book explains what mindful walking involves and then shows what happens when you observe familiar streets with fresh eyes. An ordinary café, when examined closely, reveals patterns of community interaction. Fascinating observations are paired with suggestions about how to learn about urban life, just by paying more attention during your daily walks. 21. What common advice do all four books give to readers? A. Follow the lead of curiosity and the insight of the city. B. Take photos of the details of modern urban architecture. C.

Dressed casually, he once contacted a bike seller and pretended to be a potential buyer. He carefully checked and recorded the bike’s marks and features to make sure it was the stolen one reported by its owner. After that, he made up an excuse to test the bike and rode it away. Later, the seller sent him a message, “I guess you’re not coming back?” What the seller didn’t know, however, was that Pavlik is part of an unusual group of volunteer investigators determined to reunite stolen bikes with their owners. As bike theft becomes highly profitable, local volunteer groups like Twin Cities Stolen Bikes are emerging nationwide. Combining detective work with a sense of civilian justice, these volunteers track stolen bikes online, confront illegal sellers, and often find their work thrilling. Pavlik, 51, balances part-time work with tracking stolen bikes for his group, which has 11,000 Facebook members. They hunt thieves on platforms like Facebook Marketplace and eBay, relying on owners’ reports and bike registrations. “I love helping victims and also giving thieves what they deserve,” he says. That passion once earned him an award: in 2021, the Minneapolis Police Department honored him after he trapped a wanted criminal. Bike theft is a booming industry. It is estimated that 2 million bikes are stolen each year in North America, costing $ 1 billion, twice the figure from ten years ago. Bryan Hance, who runs a free online bike registration system, confirms that such cases are on the rise, with reported numbers climbing from 11,000 in 2019 to 16,000 last year. As the number of thefts rises and police resources remain limited, volunteers like Pavlik fill the gap. The work isn’t without risks. Pavlik has faced physical attacks, and has used pepper spray to stop attackers. To keep other volunteers safe, he advises caution: “Meet the seller at a bank with security cameras.” While the police praise such community involvement, they also stress the importance of non-violent methods. For Pavlik and his fellow investigators, however, the thrill of justice matters most. “Stopping thieves feels like winning,” he says, continuing his work without fear. 24. What is the main reason for Pavlik’s trick of riding the bike away? A. To recover the stolen bike for its owner. B. To expose the illegal trade of bikes online. C. To teach dishonest bike sellers a bitter lesson. D. To perform a secret task assigned by his group. 25. What must victims do to get help from the group? A. Join the volunteer group and receive training. B. Provide related reports and bike registrations. C. Monitor illegal bike sales on online platforms. D. Share their loss experiences on social platforms. 26. What is the main reason for the emergence of volunteer investigators? A. Victims turn to volunteers for timely assistance. B. Increasing bike thefts challenge police manpower. C. Common people long for better community security. D. Bike thefts have aroused widespread public concern. 27. What words can best describe those volunteer investigators? A. Cautious and fearful. B. Violent and competitive. C. Committed and brave. D. Ambitious and creative. C While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth. Far from mere “messy gardening”, the practice is rooted in ecological science: a diverse plant community creates layered habitats that support pollinators (授粉者), soil microbes, and native wildlife. As climate anxiety and biodiversity loss grow, chaos gardening has emerged as an accessible solution for ordinary people to contribute to ecosystem restoration. It eliminates the need for artificial chemicals, reduces water pollution, and captures carbon. As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.” Critics often dismiss it as unmanaged neglect (忽视), but successful chaos gardening requires intentionality, not inaction. The key lies in selecting native, locally adapted seed mixes: non-native invasive species can outcompete native plants, disturbing local ecosystems, while carefully chosen native plants provide sustained food and shelter for local pollinators. Results are naturally variable — some gardens bloom into lively wildflower fields, others evolve into food-producing landscapes, making each space a unique ecological experiment. Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.” For beginners, it offers a low-pressure entry to gardening, free from the pressure of perfection. It’s more than a gardening style; it’s a mindset shift, inviting people to observe, adapt, and coexist with nature, rather than control it. In an era of environmental crisis, chaos gardening turns small, personal outdoor spaces into agents of ecological hope. 28. How does the author present the core idea of chaos gardening in the first paragraph? A. By listing its benefits. B. By introducing its origin. C. By showing its popularity. D. By describing its practices. 29. What does Dr. Hartman say about chaos gardening? A. It restores the ecological balance. B. It upsets ecological relationships. C. It employs ecological networks. D. It reduces ecological complexity. 30. Why does the author quote Marcus Chen? A. To highlight intentional efforts. B. To support critics’ opinions. C. To advise growing native seeds. D. To show the benefits of wild gardens. 31. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Messy Ways, Clear Results B. Chaos Planted, Hope Grown C. Wild Looks, Wise Planning D. Nature Leading, Diversity Lost D Every time you crowd into a packed plane, you might wonder if you will catch something from the person sitting next to you — or a few rows away. You’re not alone: researchers share that curiosity. Erica, associate professor at Northwestern University, and her colleagues tried to find out by testing face masks worn by passengers on flights to document what kinds of bugs they trapped. The team was also interested in the air circulating in hospitals and tested face masks worn by hospital staff. They collected 53 masks for analysis. They detected 407 total microbial (微生物) species from both the plane and hospital settings, with similar populations of bugs from each. The vast majority of these came from skin and are harmless, says Erica. She says most airborne microbes come from our skin, as we shed (使掉落) them everywhere we go. The kits that the team used were designed to collect DNA, so that meant the researchers primarily captured bacteria — not viruses, many of which have RNA as their genetic base (like influenza). Erica says that viruses likely make up a smaller proportion of microbes in the air than bacteria, since people shed more skin bacteria than virus particles. She notes that viruses tend to heavily depend on the right habitat in order to thrive, and once outside the body and away from cells that they can infect, they can become slightly less pernicious. The results of the study highlight the importance of developing better ways to monitor the air for disease-causing pathogens (病原体), including viruses, using sensing systems that could provide more real-time readings. “Imagine something like a gas alarm that, depending on the levels of microbes present, could automatically increase air-exchange rates or alert people to put on masks,” says Erica. Erica hopes people will remember that the air — even in tight places like a plane or hospital — may not be as full of disease-causing bacteria as we think. Still, if you are worried about getting sick, face masks are an effective way to protect yourself from pathogens, as well as protecting you from spreading bacteria to others if you are ill. 32. Why did Erica and her colleagues carry out the study? A. To compare bugs in different settings. B. To design a new air conditioning system. C. To explore infection risks in specific places. D. To prove that using face masks is ineffective. 33. How did the team collect data for their research? A. By examining DNA from skin samples. B. By tracking viruses spread among patients. C. By checking air quality inside the airplanes. D. By testing face masks from different groups. 34. What does the underlined word “pernicious” most probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Rare. B. Harmful. C. Visible. D. Stable. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Viruses are the main microbes in the air. B. Real-time air monitoring is now widely used. C. Shed skin spreads more bacteria than viruses. D. People needn’t overreact to the air in tight spaces. 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。 Recently, a leisurely walking trend known as ColorWalk, also referred to as ColorHunting overseas, has gained immense popularity among young people on social media in China and around the world. ___36___ The rules are simple: before heading out, choose a color to focus on, then walk through the streets with the sole aim of spotting and capturing everything in that color. This simple act initiates a relaxing and healing journey. Many people find that this type of “purposeful walking” helps them temporarily escape mental conflicts and rediscover the small, beautiful moments in daily life. Ms. Kang, a participant, had long been troubled by anxiety due to overtime work. On her first ColorWalk, she chose green. During the 20-minute walk, she focused solely on finding green, and the tightness in her chest gradually faded. ___37___ When overwhelmed by studying, she went out in search of bright yellow and discovered sunsets, winter jasmine flowers, and warm yellow signs. She realized how many overlooked beauties were hidden on campus, and her mood immediately lifted. This simple task activates areas of the brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) responsible for attention control and self-regulation. ___38___ In a world that is flooded with broken bits of information, mental exhaustion is common. ColorWalk offers overworked brains and emotions a brief opportunity to reset and recover. Observing colors is also a vital part of the healing process. Different colors, with their unique light wavelengths, arouse varied feelings in the nervous system. ___39___ That is why they are often used in hospitals and counseling rooms. Bright colors such as yellow and orange are energetic and help lift low moods. The goal is not to pick the “right” color but to slow down through walking and searching, noticing the beauty often missed. In busy, nonstop days, give yourself 20 minutes. Let go of all your troubles and focus solely on how you feel and the colors around you. ___40___ A. This, in itself, is a precious form of self-healing. B. Soft tones like blue and green quickly calm people. C. Other participants view it as an effective emotional outlet. D. The more colors you discover, the healthier you will be. E. ColorWalk requires no complicated preparation or specific destination. F. A college student used ColorWalk to deal with the stress of finals week. G. By actively choosing where to focus, people can step back from repetitive worries and stress. 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,从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jordan Heber never imagined she would employ her talents in such a way.

Every birthday and every Spring Festival, she made the same wish. My parents, however, remained unconvinced, firmly believing that keeping a pet would be more trouble than pleasure, especially with two busy students in the family. Everything changed unexpectedly one Saturday afternoon. On my way home from school, I noticed a small gray cat sitting near the entrance of our apartment building. It wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, it followed me upstairs, slipped into our living room, and settled there as if it had already decided where it belonged. Lily let out a scream of excitement. “She chose us!” Lily announced, her voice trembling with certainty. My father immediately pointed to the cat hair gathering on the sofa, while my mother raised concerns about feeding schedules once exam pressure set in. After a long and cautious discussion, they finally agreed to keep the cat for one week — as a trial. We named it “Cloud,” inspired by its soft fur. In the beginning, things went smoothly. Cloud spent most of the day sleeping and followed Lily from room to room, like a loyal shadow. But soon, problems appeared. Cloud would often knock over a flower pot, scratch the curtains, and jump onto the dining table. Each small accident added to the growing unease. “This is exactly what we feared,”my father remarked. Lily tried to defend Cloud, promising to take full responsibility. I remained mostly silent, watching how quickly excitement gave way to tension. On a cold evening, after Cloud accidentally spilled a cup of water onto my homework, I lost my temper and shouted. The room fell silent. Cloud jumped down at once and hid under the sofa, curling up into a ball and not taking a single step out. Lily looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. Later that night, I found her sitting on the floor, softly calling Cloud’s name. However, it refused to come out. “If we send it away,” Lily asked in a low voice, “will it live a good life?” Her question lingered in my mind long after she went to bed. 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。 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
