C. Chinese culture. 【答案】17. A 18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】What an incredible experience it is to be able to fluently speak a foreign language! When we learn a foreign language, we are always a little curious. And we feel proud to be finally able to talk with someone in their language and may even have the opportunities to work abroad. As well as learning the language, we can discover another culture and keep an open mind to a different way of thinking. Today, I can speak different languages fluently: English, Spanish and French. Since I’ve learned them, I feel like it is even easier for me to learn other languages. Learning a foreign language is a daily process. I have learnt basic Thai language since I worked and lived here five years ago. It’s easy for me as I’m surrounded with you native speakers, though I’ve been teaching you people English. I learned how to be more self-confident. I became more imaginative in teaching my students English. I also figured out how to find a good balance between being friendly and being respected at the same time. I learned how to be more playful with the kids, and how to inspire my students to think. It is great to be part of their learning process as a teacher. I plan to spend the next few years learning about Chinese civilization and enjoying its charm. It’s totally different from Western cultures like Spanish and British. Hope you all realize your dreams one day. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下面文章，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 A The storied, celebrated Alcatraz and Black Point Historic Gardens in Golden Gate National Recreation Area owe their charm to skilled Parks Conservancy gardeners and dedicated volunteers. Now you can apply their national park expertise to your own backyard! Top Winter Gardening & Planting Tips for the San Francisco Bay Area ● Resist working in the garden on a rainy day — air pockets are a very important part of the recipe for healthy soil and plants, and working in your garden when it’s very wet will firm your soil. ● Double check your seedling identification during weeding! Desired plants can look similar to invasive weeds during their seedling stage. ● Keep fallen leaves on the ground. They provide important shelter for butterflies and moths in the winter, and keep the soil covered and protected through the season. ● See if there’s a way to install a rainwater catchment into your garden. ● Make notes now of how your garden did this year — what plants did well, what struggled, what you’d like to try for next year. Recommended California Native Plants Plant native wildflowers and perennials (多年生植物); they’re perfectly adapted to our local climate and support our native ecosystems. If you plant them with the winter rains, they’ll be strong and need minimal care throughout the rest of the year. Some of our favorite native plants for the garden include: Clarkia “Farewell to Spring,” Baby Blue Eyes, Globe Gilia, Ceanothus “Yankee Point,” Coyote Mint, California Fuchsia, Yarrow, Heuchera maxima, Douglas Iris, and of course California Poppy. Get Involved Ready to take your newfound skills to the parks? No matter the season, Black Point Historic Gardens needs extra hands and volunteering support, or you can become a guide on Alcatraz. Trowels up, in the parks and at home! 21. What can we learn from the winter gardening tips? A. Garden growth need not be recorded. B. Fallen leaves ought to be cleared away. C. Working in wet soil helps keep soil loose. D. Weed carefully to protect desired seedlings. 22. What is the advantage of planting California native plants? A. They demand less care in later growth. B. They fit in well with the local climate. C. They needn’t match local ecosystem. D. They grow much faster than other plants. 23. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A local gardening newsletter. B. A home decoration magazine. C. A national park research paper. D. A travel brochure of scenic spots. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇面向旧金山湾区居民的冬季家庭园艺指导文章，教你怎么在冬天打理后院花园，推荐种本地原生植物，同时也在为当地国家公园招志愿者。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Top Winter Gardening & Planting Tips for the San Francisco Bay Area部分“Double check your seedling identification during weeding! Desired plants can look similar to invasive weeds during their seedling stage.(在除草时要再次确认你的幼苗种类！在幼苗阶段，目标植物和入侵杂草可能会长得非常相似。)”可知，要仔细除草，以保护想要的幼苗。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Recommended California Native Plants部分的“Plant native wildflowers and perennials (多年生植物); they’re perfectly adapted to our local climate and support our native ecosystems.(种植本地的野生花卉和多年生植物；它们非常适合我们当地的气候，能够支持我们当地的生态系统。)”可知，种植加州本土植物的优势是它们十分适应当地的气候。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The storied, celebrated Alcatraz and Black Point Historic Gardens in Golden Gate National Recreation Area owe their charm to skilled Parks Conservancy gardeners and dedicated volunteers. Now you can apply their national park expertise to your own backyard!(金门国家休闲区中久负盛名、备受赞誉的恶魔岛和黑角历史花园，其魅力归功于技艺精湛的公园保护协会园丁和敬业的志愿者。现在，您可以将他们的国家公园专业知识应用到您自己的后院了！)”可知，本文是一篇面向旧金山湾区居民的冬季家庭园艺指导文章，教你怎么在冬天打理后院花园，推荐种本地原生植物，同时也在为当地国家公园招志愿者，很可能来自于本地园艺通讯。 B When a player on the other team makes a terrible mistake, most fans feel happy. But not every sports fan. In an NFL playoff game last season, the Baltimore Ravens were playing against the Buffalo Bills. With less than two minutes left, the Ravens scored a touchdown, making the score 27-25. If they could score another two points, they would tie the game. The Ravens quarterback threw the ball to tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line. But on the snowy field, Andrews slipped and dropped the ball. The Ravens lost, and their season was over. Most fans would have celebrated, but some Bills fans felt sympathy instead. They knew that Andrews has type 1 diabetes, a disease that requires constant care — he checks his blood sugar 30 times a day and uses an insulin (胰岛素) pump. Two young Bills fans, Ryan Patota and Nicholas Howard, decided to do something different. Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000. “We just want to spread love,” Patota said. “You hate the other team. You want your team to win. But we want to bring both fan bases together and say this is more than a game.” Word spread quickly. Donations poured in from Bills fans, then Ravens fans, and even fans of other NFL teams. Soon they had raised more than $146,000 — far beyond their original goal. Two weeks after the game, Andrews shared his feelings online. “I’m absolutely upset by what happened,” he wrote. “But despite the negativity, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have donated to ‘Breakthrough T1D.’ Patota says he’s still a loyal Bills fan, but now, he adds, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Ravens.” What started as a painful mistake on the field turned into something beautiful — fans from rival teams coming together to support a cause greater than the game itself. 24. What happened to Andrew in an NFL playoff game last season? A. He scored a decisive touchdown. B. He got injured and left the field. C. He stumbled and missed a key pass. D. He passed the ball to his opponent. 25. Why did Patota and Howard start the fundraising? A. To raise money for diabetes research. B. To cover Andrews’ medical expenses. C. To celebrate their team’s playoff victory. D. To gain more followers on Instagram. 26. What can be inferred about Mark Andrews? A. He felt ashamed of his past performance. B. He was grateful for the support he received. C. He was disappointed with his teammates. D. He felt hopeful about his future career. 27. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-Changing Mistake B. From Competition to Generosity C. Lessons from a Playoff Loss D. Living with Type 1 Diabetes 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是一场NFL季后赛中，比尔队球迷没有因对手乌鸦队球员因1型糖尿病发作而失误输球而幸灾乐祸，反而自发为糖尿病研究慈善机构发起筹款，最终将一场赛场上的对立转化为两队球迷联合行善的暖心故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Ravens quarterback threw the ball to tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line. But on the snowy field, Andrews slipped and dropped the ball.(乌鸦队的四分卫将球传给了近端锋Mark Andrews，后者在球门线附近接球。但在雪地场上，Andrews滑倒并丢掉了球。)”可知，上赛季在一场美国职业橄榄球联盟的季后赛中，Andrews失足摔倒，错过了关键传球。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000.(他们没有沉浸在球队获胜的喜悦中，而是为支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构“突破T1D”发起了一场募捐活动。他们的目标是筹集5000美元。)”可知，Patota和Howard发起筹款活动是为了筹集资金用于糖尿病研究。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““But despite the negativity, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have donated to ‘Breakthrough T1D.’ Patota says he’s still a loyal Bills fan, but now, he adds, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Ravens.”(“但在这些负面情绪之外，我看到了发自内心的关爱与鼓励，包括那些为‘突破T1D’捐款的人们。”Patota表示自己仍是比尔队的忠实球迷，但他补充道：“我们现在肯定会为乌鸦队保留一份特别的好感。”)”可知，Mark Andrews感激所得到的支持。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第三段“Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000.(他们没有沉浸在球队获胜的喜悦中，而是为支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构“突破T1D”发起了一场募捐活动。他们的目标是筹集5000美元。)”和倒数第二段“You want your team to win. But we want to bring both fan bases together and say this is more than a game.(你们想让自己的球队赢。但我们想把两队的球迷聚在一起，告诉大家这不仅仅是一场比赛。)”可推知，本文主要讲的是一场NFL季后赛中，比尔队球迷没有因对手乌鸦队球员因1型糖尿病发作而失误输球而幸灾乐祸，反而自发为糖尿病研究慈善机构发起筹款，最终将一场赛场上的对立转化为两队球迷联合行善的暖心故事，重在表达体育超越胜负、传递善意，B项“From Competition to Generosity(从竞争到慷慨)”契合主旨。 C Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and how it is served matters, too. When people do, they take much more than they eat. Compared with ordering from the menu, buffet breakfasts waste more food — up to twice as much, according to one study. Experts have puzzled for years over how to encourage eaters to show a little control. Previous research has found that factors which influence how much ends up in the bin range from nationality to the size of the plates. The passive-aggressive signs on some buffet tables asking guests to take only what they know they will polish off have been shown to increase the piles of leftovers. Now researchers in Norway and Italy have cooked up a new idea. They have built a virtual breakfast buffet populated with virtual guests and are using it to find the best strategies to make buffet-goers leave behind fewer leftovers. The team settled on four main motivations guiding their model’s buffet goers: peckishness (饥饿), the desire to live sustainably, social pressure and self-control. They then overlaid external drivers that turned those motives into behaviour. These altered variables such as the duration of the buffet, the size of plates and the diversity of food on offer. The result suggested the most important influence in limiting waste was, unsurprisingly, someone’s attitude to sustainability. Plate size was the most important of the external drivers: although the people in the model with both small and large plates went back for more, those with smaller plates tended to finish what they took. How long guests were allowed to stick around and what food they could enjoy had less of an impact. Hotels could use the virtual buffet to minimise food waste. They could see what happens if plates were 20% smaller, for example. They could also work out exactly how those annoying signs could be rewritten to have the most useful effect given a hotelier’s typical customers. 28. What is the problem for buffets? A. Offering proper service. B. Satisfying eaters’ tastes. C. Controlling portion size. D. Adjusting eating duration. 29. What affects buffet-goers most according to the model? A. Peer pressure. B. Green mindset. C. Plate size. D. Nationality. 30. How does the virtual buffet benefit hotels? A. It enriches the menu. B. It changes service hours. C. It rearranges table signs. D. It provides practical data. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Shift in Breakfast Buffet Habits. B. Virtual Model Lowers Breakfast Waste. C. Live Your Day with Sustainable Food. D. A Computer Module for Buffet Breakfasts. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】主要探讨自助餐早餐食物浪费这一问题，专家多年来一直在寻找鼓励食客控制食量的方法，以往研究发现多种影响食物浪费的因素，但一些措施效果不佳。如今挪威和意大利的研究人员构建虚拟早餐自助餐模型，发现影响减少浪费的最重要因素是人们对可持续发展的态度，且模型能为酒店提供实用数据以减少食物浪费。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Compared with ordering from the menu, buffet breakfasts waste more food — up to twice as much, according to one study.(一项研究表明，与从菜单点餐相比，自助早餐浪费的食物更多——多达两倍)”以及第二段“Experts have puzzled for years over how to encourage eaters to show a little control.(多年来，专家们一直困惑于如何鼓励食客有所节制)”可知，自助餐面临的问题是难以控制食客的食物分量，导致浪费严重。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The result suggested the most important influence in limiting waste was, unsurprisingly, someone’s attitude to sustainability.(结果表明，不出所料，限制浪费的最重要影响因素是人们对可持续发展的态度)”可知，根据该模型，对自助餐食客影响最大的是他们对可持续发展的态度，即环保心态。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hotels could use the virtual buffet to minimise food waste. They could see what happens if plates were 20% smaller, for example. They could also work out exactly how those annoying signs could be rewritten to have the most useful effect given a hotelier’s typical customers.(酒店可以利用这个虚拟自助餐模型来尽量减少食物浪费。例如，他们可以看到如果盘子小20%会发生什么。他们还可以根据酒店的典型顾客，准确计算出那些烦人的标识如何改写才能产生最有用的效果)”可知，虚拟自助餐模型能为酒店提供如盘子大小变化、标识改写等方面的实用数据，帮助酒店减少食物浪费。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕自助餐食物浪费问题，介绍研究人员构建虚拟早餐自助餐模型，通过该模型发现影响减少浪费的因素，并为酒店提供减少食物浪费的实用数据，所以B选项“Virtual Model Lowers Breakfast Waste(虚拟模型减少早餐浪费)”最能概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。 D Large language models (LLMs) are trained on the written word, from textbooks to social media posts, and our speech as captured in movies and on television. These models have minimal access to the unscripted (即兴) conversations we have face-to-face or voice-to-voice. This is the vast majority of speech, and a vital component of human culture. There’s a risk to this. The increased use of LLMs means we humans will encounter much more AI-generated text. We humans, in turn, will begin to adopt the linguistic patterns and behaviors of these models. This will affect not just how we communicate with one another, but also how we think about ourselves and what goes on around us. One of the first effects we could see is in simple expression, much as texting and social media have resulted in us using shorter sentences, emojis instead of words, and much less punctuation. But with AI, the impacts may be more harmful. A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience. Additionally, LLMs may not learn how to emulate (模仿)the free-wheeling nature of live, natural speech. When told “I hate Beth!”, ChatGPT replies with an uninterrupted three-part formula of confirmation (“That’s completely valid”), invitation (“I’m here to listen”) and invitation (“What’ s going on?”), far longer than any reply in face-to-face dialog. “What’s Beth’s deal?” sets off a bullet point list of queries that reads like a multiple choice exam question (“Is Beth a celebrity?” “a friend from school?” “a fictional character?”). No human speaks that way, at least not yet. We don’t pretend to know what the best solutions might be. But one has to imagine: if there’s ingenuity (才能)to develop AI models, then surely there’s ingenuity to come up with a way to train them on informal human speech. People talk, fully and naturally, to each other — these models are being trained to mirror everything but us at our most authentically human. 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The diverse sources for LLM training. B. The value of face-to-face conversations. C. The ways humans access LLMs. D. The inadequacy of LLM training. 33. What does the underlined word “curt” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Rude. B. Excited. C. Anxious. D. Confused. 34. How does ChatGPT respond to personal remarks? A. In a fixed pattern. B. With casual comments. C. In a way human thinks. D. With follow-up questions. 35. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. The best solution is easily available. B. LLMs need unscripted conversations. C. AI models reflect true human feelings. D. AI goes far ahead of human intelligence. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍大型语言模型（LLMs）缺乏即兴人类对话的训练以及其广泛使用会对人类交流、表达带来的影响，并提出相关建议。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Large language models (LLMs) are trained on the written word, from textbooks to social media posts, and our speech as captured in movies and on television. These models have minimal access to the unscripted (即兴) conversations we have face-to-face or voice-to-voice. This is the vast majority of speech, and a vital component of human culture.(大型语言模型（LLMs）是通过书面文字进行训练的，从教科书到社交媒体帖子，以及电影和电视中捕捉到的我们的语言。这些模型几乎无法接触到我们面对面或语音对语音的即兴对话。这是绝大多数的语言，也是人类文化的重要组成部分)”可知，第一段主要讲述大型语言模型的训练存在不足——缺乏对人类即兴对话的训练。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience.(2022年的一项研究发现，家里使用Siri和Alexa等工具发出语音指令的孩子，在与人交流时会变得curt，经常大喊“嘿，做X”并期待对方服从)”可知，孩子们与人交流时语气生硬、直接且带有命令感，由此可推测curt意为“粗鲁的、生硬的”，与rude同义。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When told “I hate Beth!”, ChatGPT replies with an uninterrupted three-part formula of confirmation (“That’s completely valid”), invitation (“I’m here to listen”) and invitation (“What’ s going on?”), far longer than any reply in face-to-face dialog.(当被告知“我讨厌贝丝！”时，ChatGPT会用一个不间断的三部分式回应：确认（“这完全合理”）、邀请（“我在这里倾听”）和邀请（“发生什么事了？”），比面对面对话中的任何回应都要长。)”可知，ChatGPT对个人言论的回应是固定模式的。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But one has to imagine: if there’s ingenuity (才能)to develop AI models, then surely there’s ingenuity to come up with a way to train them on informal human speech. People talk, fully and naturally, to each other — these models are being trained to mirror everything but us at our most authentically human.(但人们不禁会想：如果有能力开发人工智能模型，那么肯定有能力想出一种方法，用非正式的人类语言来训练它们。人们彼此充分而自然地交谈——这些模型正在被训练去模仿一切，除了最真实的人类的我们。)”可知，作者想传达的是大型语言模型需要进行非正式（即兴）对话的训练。 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。 In an age of digital distraction, speed is celebrated. We skim news headlines, scroll social media, and jump between texts, treating reading as a task to finish quickly rather than an experience to enjoy. ____36____ Yet a quiet movement called slow reading is encouraging people to rediscover the depth and joy of reading at a gentle pace. Slow reading is the practice of engaging with a text mindfully, taking time to understand ideas, appreciate language, and reflect on meaning. It contrasts sharply with speed reading, which prioritizes quantity over quality, and digital reading, which encourages skimming and multitasking. ____37____ It is a richer, more meaningful way to interact with written words. When we read slowly, we activate deeper parts of the brain involved in analysis, empathy, and reflection. The rise of digital media has made slow reading harder to practice. Screens are designed for quick consumption, with hyperlinks, notifications, and short paragraphs that discourage deep focus. ____38____ This “digital attention deficit（缺失）” affects learning, work, and mental well-being. ____39____ It applies to any text, from articles to poems. Simple techniques can help anyone adopt the practice: setting aside dedicated time without devices, reading aloud, taking notes, and pausing to reflect on key points. These small changes turn reading from a hurried chore into a calming, rewarding activity. The slow reading movement is not against technology or progress. It simply reminds us that reading is a human experience, not a performance criterion. By slowing down, we reconnect with the power of words to inspire, challenge, and transform us. In a fast-paced world, slow reading is not just a skill. ____40____. A. It is a form of self-care. B. Slow reading is not just for books. C. It reduces stress and improves mental clarity. D. Advocates argue that slow reading is not inefficient. E. A wide range of content is easily accessible on digital devices. F. This rushed approach weakens comprehension, memory, and critical thinking. G. Many people admit failing to read a long article or book without feeling restless. 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. G 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文在数字时代人们普遍习惯快速碎片化阅读的背景下，介绍了慢阅读的定义、价值、实践方法与核心理念，倡导人们在快节奏生活中践行慢阅读，重新发掘阅读的深度与乐趣。 【36题详解】 前文“We skim news headlines, scroll social media, and jump between texts, treating reading as a task to finish quickly rather than an experience to enjoy.(我们浏览新闻标题，滚动社交媒体，跳转阅读各种信息，把阅读当作一项要尽快完成的任务，而非一种值得享受的体验。)”描述了现在人们把阅读当成快速完成的任务，F项中“This rushed approach weakens comprehension, memory, and critical thinking.(这种匆忙的方式削弱了理解、记忆和批判性思维。)”中This rushed approach正好指代前文的快速阅读习惯，点明快读的危害，之后转折引出慢阅读运动，逻辑通顺。 【37题详解】 前文“It contrasts sharply with speed reading, which prioritizes quantity over quality, and digital reading, which encourages skimming and multitasking.(它与注重数量而非质量的快速阅读以及鼓励略读和多任务处理的数字阅读形成了鲜明对比。)”对比了慢阅读和快读、数字阅读的区别，大众普遍会认为“慢=低效”，D选项提出“倡导者认为慢阅读并非低效”，紧接着后文解释慢阅读的优势，衔接自然。 【38题详解】 前文“Screens are designed for quick consumption, with hyperlinks, notifications, and short paragraphs that discourage deep focus.(屏幕的设计旨在实现快速浏览，其中包含超链接、通知以及简短的段落，这些都不利于深度专注。)”提到数字媒体设计本身不利于深度专注，G选项“Many people admit failing to read a long article or book without feeling restless.(许多人承认，他们在阅读长篇文章或书籍时难以不感到焦躁不安。)”描述了当下人们的普遍现状，承接前文“难专注”的观点，又引出后文“这种数字注意力缺陷危害大”的结论。 【39题详解】 空后“It applies to any text, from articles to poems.(它适用于任何文本，从文章到诗歌)”提到它适用于任何文本，B选项“Slow reading is not just for books.(慢阅读并非只适用于书籍)”和后文内容完美对应，衔接紧密。 【40题详解】 空格处是最后一句，应该是总结升华，前文“In a fast-paced world, slow reading is not just a skill.(在这样一个快节奏的世界里，缓慢阅读已不仅仅是一种技能。)”提到了慢阅读不仅仅是一项技能，A选项“It is a form of self-care.(它是一种自我关怀)”符合总结升华的逻辑，点出慢阅读的深层意义。 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四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Most of us are bad at predicting what will make us happy, including the world’s best athletes. Four years ago, Swiss skier Mathilde Gremaud won gold at just 22 at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Researchers have found that a significant number of Olympians ___43___ from a phenomenon called the post-Olympic blues — a(n) ___44___ crash following the Games. For decades, scientists have sought to ___45___ why this happens. The answer starts with a simple but ___46___ fact: people are really bad at predicting what will make them happy. One of the main reasons for this is a cognitive ___47___ known as “focalism” — the tendency to focus ___48___ on big, life-changing events while ___49___ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life. When we imagine happiness, we tend to think of ___50___ moments: a championship, a promotion, a dream vacation. But here is what researchers have actually discovered: how good your experiences are doesn’t ___51___ nearly as much as how many good experiences you have. The ___52___ of small, positive moments is a far better ___53___ of overall happiness than the intensity of a single great event. ___54___, happiness is not one big victory. It is the ___55___ of hundreds of small things. 41. A. disappeared B. multiplied C. lessened D. collapsed 42. A. tiring B. empty C. lonely D. meaningless 43.

A 49. C 50. B 51. B 52. C 53. D 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了人们很难预判什么能带来快乐，以冬奥冠军赛后陷入情绪低谷为例，介绍了后奥运忧郁症，借助聚焦偏差分析成因，点明幸福感源于日常点滴美好，而非单次重大时刻。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：但不到一个月，她的喜悦感就消失了。A. disappeared消失；B. multiplied增加；C. lessened消退；D. collapsed崩溃。根据下文“There’s nothing left”可知，此处是指喜悦之情消失。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种感觉极度空虚。A. tiring累人的；B. empty空虚的；C. lonely孤独的；D. meaningless无意义的。根据上文“There’s nothing left”可知，此处是指心里空空的。 【43题详解】 考查动词。句意：研究者已发现，大量奥运选手遭受一种叫“后奥运忧郁症”的现象困扰——这是赛事过后的情绪低谷。A. escape逃离；B. recover恢复；C. benefit受益；D. suffer遭受。根据下文“the post-Olympic blues”及“crash following the Games”可知，选手遭受这种负面状况，suffer from是固定搭配。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。A. emotional情绪的；B. physical身体的；C. sudden突然的；D. financial经济的。根据上文“post-Olympic blues”可知，忧郁是情绪方面的问题。 【45题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：几十年来，科学家一直试图弄明白这种现象出现的原因。A. carry out执行；B. point out指出；C. figure out弄明白；D. rule out排除。根据下文“why this happens”及“answer”可知，此处是指弄清楚成因。 【46题详解】 考查形容词。句意：答案始于一个简单却令人吃惊的事实：人们真的不擅长预判什么能让自己快乐。A. apparent明显的；B. surprising令人吃惊的；C. remarkable非凡的；D. well-known众所周知的。根据上文“simple but”可知，but表转折，与简单形成反差的是令人惊讶的。 【47题详解】 考查名词。句意：其中一个主要原因是一种被称为“聚焦偏差”的认知偏见——它往往会让人们狭隘地关注改变人生的重大事件，而忽略生活里所有更细碎、日常的方面。A. bias偏差；B. ability能力；C. error错误；D. blindness盲目。根据下文“Focalism”及“the tendency to focus ____ on big, life-changing events while ____ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life”可知，这是一种认知偏差。 【48题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。A. narrowly狭隘地；B. broadly广泛地；C. briefly短暂地；D. casually随意地。根据上文“Focalism”及下文“big, life-changing events while ____ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life”可知，该偏差使人目光局限在大事上。 【49题详解】 考查动词。句意：同上。A. balancing平衡；B. remembering记得；C. ignoring忽略；D. overvaluing高估。根据上文“focus ____ on big, life-changing events”及“while”可知，此处是指忽视日常小事。 【50题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我们想象幸福时，往往会想到强烈的高光时刻：夺冠、升职、梦想中的度假旅行。A. memorable难忘的；B. intense强烈的；C. rare稀有的；D. daily日常的。根据下文“intensity of a single great event”可知，这些时刻情绪体验强烈。 【51题详解】 考查动词。句意：但研究者实际发现：经历本身有多美好，远不如你拥有美好经历的频次重要。A. differ不同；B. matter重要；C. improve改善；D. bother困扰。根据下文“a far better ____ of overall happiness”可知，此处是指重要。 【52题详解】 考查名词。句意：细碎积极瞬间的出现频次，比单次重大事件的强烈程度更能预测整体幸福感。A. duration时长；B. quality质量；C. frequency频次；D. variety多样。根据上文“how many good experiences you have”及下文“than the intensity of a single great event.”可知，此处是指频率。 【53题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。A. result结果；B. cause原因；C. reminder提醒；D. predictor指标。根据上文“people are really bad at predicting what will make them happy”可知，频次可以预判幸福感。 【54题详解】 考查副词。句意：事实上，幸福不是一场盛大的胜利。A. Fortunately幸运地；B. Similarly相似地；C. Obviously显然地；D. Actually事实上。根据上文“here is what researchers have actually discovered”、“than the intensity of a single great event”及下文“happiness is not one big victory.”可知，此处用Actually重申并强化研究结论。 【55题详解】 考查名词。句意：幸福是数百件小事累积的总和。A. mixture混合；B. outcome结果；C. sum总和；D. achievement成就。根据上文“small, positive moments”及“not one big victory”可知，幸福由无数小事累积而成。 第二节 (共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Kites rank among humanity’s earliest flying inventions, their origins tracing back to China during the late Spring and Autumn Period (770—476 BC). These early “wooden birds”, ___56___ (fashion) from wood served primarily for military signaling and distance measurement. This humble beginning laid the groundwork for a pastime ___57___ would eventually grace skies worldwide. The subsequent invention of paper during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25—220) revolutionized kite design, making them lighter, more affordable, and ___58___ (access). This crucial shift transformed kites from instruments of war ___59___ cherished objects of leisure and artistic expression, reflecting not only technological advancement but also humanity’s innate desire ___60___ (blend) practicality with beauty. A remarkable testament to resourcefulness unfolded in 1847 at Niagara Falls. Engineers faced the challenge of stringing the initial line across the daunting gorge (险峻的峡谷) to begin constructing a suspension bridge. ___61___ (they) solution? A kite-flying competition. ___62___ (interesting), a teenager named Homan Walsh skillfully piloted his kite across ___63___ divide. His kite string then served as a channel to pull heavier ropes and, ultimately, sturdy cables across the gorge, ___64___ (lay) the foundation for the iconic Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge. This story exemplifies the kite’s unexpected potential as a simple yet potent tool for overcoming complex engineering hurdles, proving that innovation often ____65____(spring) from unassuming origins. 【答案】56. fashioned 57. that##which 58. accessible 59. into 60. to blend 61. Their 62. Interestingly 63. the 64. laying 65. springs 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了风筝起源于中国并逐渐演变为休闲艺术品，以及其在1847年尼亚加拉瀑布悬索桥工程中意外成为关键工具的故事，展现了简单发明也能驱动复杂工程创新的道理。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些早期的“木鸟”由木头制成，主要用于军事信号和距离测量。此处在句中作定语，修饰wooden birds，wooden birds与fashion之间是被动关系，故用过去分词fashioned作后置定语。 【57题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这一朴素的起点为后来终将点缀全球天空的娱乐活动奠定了基础。此处引导定语从句，先行词为a pastime，指物，定语从句中缺少主语，故应用that/which引导定语从句。 【58题详解】 考查形容词的比较级。句意：随后东汉时期（公元25—220年）的造纸术革新彻底改变了风筝的设计，使其更轻、更廉价且更易获得。此处作宾语补足语，与lighter, more affordable并列，故此处也应用形容词的比较级more accessible，意为“更容易获得的”。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：这一关键转变将风筝从战争工具转变为备受珍视的休闲与艺术表达物品，不仅反映了技术进步，也体现了人类将实用与美感相融合的内在渴望。此处意为“把……从……转变为……”，表达为transform... from... into...，故此处应用介词into。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处作名词desire的后置定语，应用不定式，the desire to do意为“……的渴望”，故此处应用不定式to blend。 【61题详解】 考查形容词性物主代词。句意：工程师们面临着如何将第一条绳索穿过险峻峡谷以开始修建悬索桥的挑战。他们的解决方案是什么？此处构成省略问句“他们的解决方案呢?”，指代前文engineers，故应用形容词性物主代词their。位于句首，首字母大写。 【62题详解】 考查副词。句意：有趣的是，一位名叫Homan Walsh的少年熟练地将他的风筝放飞至峡谷对岸。此处位于句首，修饰整个句子，意为“有趣的是”，故需用interesting的副词形式Interestingly，位于句首，首字母应大写。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。此处divide为名词，意为“分界线、峡谷”，特指前文提到的尼亚加拉瀑布险峻峡谷，故用定冠词the表示特指。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随后，他的风筝线作为通道，将更重的绳索乃至坚固的钢缆拉过峡谷，为标志性的尼亚加拉大瀑布悬索桥奠定了基础。此处作结果状语，表示“风筝线作为引线拖曳更重绳索”这一行为所带来的自然而然的结果，故应用现在分词laying作结果状语。 【65题详解】 考查时态与主谓一致。句意：这个故事例证了风筝作为克服复杂工程难题的简单而有力工具的意外潜力，证明创新往往源自不起眼的开端。此处在宾语从句中作谓语动词，主语为innovation，为不可数名词，与spring之间为主动关系，且根据时间状语often可知，此处应用一般现在时springs。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你和英国笔友Chris正在合作创作一首毕业歌曲。对于歌曲的风格，你们产生了一点分歧。请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)说明分歧所在； (2)表达你的观点并说明理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, Regarding the style of our graduation song, we seem to have different preferences.

We shared everything — lunches, secrets, and dreams for the future. Yet as graduation approached, the mounting stress of exams and college applications began to take its toll on both of us. We studied side by side and promised to get through this together. The turning point came after the midterm examinations. I had prepared for weeks — sacrificing sleep, skipping social gatherings — yet my score fell far below my expectation. Finally, on the other hand, received one of the highest grades in our class. She tried to be kind about it, never bragging or even mentioning her score. But somehow, that made things worse. She came to me that afternoon with my favorite snacks. “It’s just one exam,” she said gently. “You’ll do better next time.” I nodded but could not bring myself to look at her. She attempted to lighten the mood with silly jokes, but every word felt like a reminder of the growing gap between us. Then she said, half-jokingly, “Come on, don’t be so negative. It’s not the end of the world.” Something inside me broke. “Easy for you to say,” I erupted. “You’re not the one who failed.” The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Her face fell. She parted her lips to respond, but no words came. After a long, painful silence, she simply stood up and walked away without a word. The following days were cold and heavy. We stopped sitting together at lunch. She found a new table, and I did the same. We passed each other in the hallways like strangers. I could tell she was hurting too, but pride kept us both frozen. The silence between us was not empty — it was loaded with guilt, pride, and everything we wished we could say. It was not until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. When I saw our names paired on the list, I felt a mix of dread and relief. Finally, there was no way out. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Silence fell upon us whew we sat down to prepare at first. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the weight lifted off our shoulders, we threw ourselves into preparing the presentation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Silence fell upon us when we sat down to prepare at first. Neither of us spoke for what felt like an eternity. I kept my eyes fixed on the notebook, my fingers nervously twisting together. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Emily reach out and gently push a pen toward me — the same pen I had lent her years ago during a chemistry exam. That small gesture broke something inside me. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice trembling. She looked up, tears welling in her eyes. “Me too,” she said softly. Without another word, we pulled our chairs closer and began dividing the presentation slides. The ice finally melted away. With the weight lifted off our shoulders, we threw ourselves into preparing the presentation. Dividing the work naturally, we soon found our old rhythm — she researched statistics while I designed the slides. Before long, we finished our own parts and discussed how to polish the presentation as a whole. Finally came the presentation day. Having exchanged an encouraging smile, we strode to the front with confidence. The applause that followed felt like a shared victory. It was then that I realized: True friendship isn’t about waiting for the other to apologize first — it’s about being the one brave enough to reach out. 【解析】 【导语】本文以友情为线索展开，讲述了作者与挚友Emily因一次考试成绩的落差和一次争吵而陷入冷战，直到被老师安排合作完成期末展示，才在尴尬又微妙的氛围中重新沟通、解开误会，重拾珍贵友谊的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写两人刚坐下来准备展示时的尴尬沉默，再通过一个充满回忆的细节打破僵局，引出双方的道歉与和解。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写两人和解后默契合作准备展示的过程，以及最终成功完成展示的场景。 2. 续写线索：被迫合作→尴尬沉默→细节破冰→互相道歉→默契准备→成功展示→领悟友谊真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 轻声说：whisper/murmur ② 颤抖：tremble/shake ③ 完成：finish/wrap up 情绪类 ① 紧张地：nervously/anxiously ② 勇敢的：brave/bold 【点睛】【高分句型1】Having exchanged an encouraging smile, we strode to the front with confidence.(运用了现在分词的完成式Having exchanged an encouraging smile作时间状语) 【高分句型2】It was then that I realized: True friendship isn’t about waiting for the other to apologize first — it’s about being the one brave enough to reach out.(运用了强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club, can I help you?

They didn't think IT was important. absolutely. The united nations has been trying to come to an agreement for nearly a decade. Why did you take so long? Some countries have disagreements over fishing rights. However, they have now established limits on fishing and shipping areas. This helps reach the global goal of protecting at least thirty percent of the options by two thousand thirty. We should go and let our geography teacher know about this. Perhaps we can organize a project to raise awareness about ocean conservation. Did you hear the good news? Nations from around the world have reached an agreement to protect oceans.

Yes, if we could get someone famous to perform. Gary silver is performing at the city hall tonight. He's a big rockstar. Maybe we could catch him after the show and ask if he'd help us. okay?

Now you can apply their national park expertise to your own backyard! Top Winter Gardening & Planting Tips for the San Francisco Bay Area ● Resist working in the garden on a rainy day — air pockets are a very important part of the recipe for healthy soil and plants, and working in your garden when it’s very wet will firm your soil. ● Double check your seedling identification during weeding! Desired plants can look similar to invasive weeds during their seedling stage. ● Keep fallen leaves on the ground. They provide important shelter for butterflies and moths in the winter, and keep the soil covered and protected through the season. ● See if there’s a way to install a rainwater catchment into your garden. ● Make notes now of how your garden did this year — what plants did well, what struggled, what you’d like to try for next year. Recommended California Native Plants Plant native wildflowers and perennials (多年生植物); they’re perfectly adapted to our local climate and support our native ecosystems. If you plant them with the winter rains, they’ll be strong and need minimal care throughout the rest of the year. Some of our favorite native plants for the garden include: Clarkia “Farewell to Spring,” Baby Blue Eyes, Globe Gilia, Ceanothus “Yankee Point,” Coyote Mint, California Fuchsia, Yarrow, Heuchera maxima, Douglas Iris, and of course California Poppy. Get Involved Ready to take your newfound skills to the parks? No matter the season, Black Point Historic Gardens needs extra hands and volunteering support, or you can become a guide on Alcatraz. Trowels up, in the parks and at home! 21. What can we learn from the winter gardening tips? A. Garden growth need not be recorded. B. Fallen leaves ought to be cleared away. C. Working in wet soil helps keep soil loose. D. Weed carefully to protect desired seedlings. 22. What is the advantage of planting California native plants? A. They demand less care in later growth. B. They fit in well with the local climate. C. They needn’t match local ecosystem. D. They grow much faster than other plants. 23. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A local gardening newsletter. B. A home decoration magazine. C. A national park research paper. D. A travel brochure of scenic spots. B When a player on the other team makes a terrible mistake, most fans feel happy. But not every sports fan. In an NFL playoff game last season, the Baltimore Ravens were playing against the Buffalo Bills. With less than two minutes left, the Ravens scored a touchdown, making the score 27-25. If they could score another two points, they would tie the game. The Ravens quarterback threw the ball to tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line. But on the snowy field, Andrews slipped and dropped the ball. The Ravens lost, and their season was over. Most fans would have celebrated, but some Bills fans felt sympathy instead. They knew that Andrews has type 1 diabetes, a disease that requires constant care — he checks his blood sugar 30 times a day and uses an insulin (胰岛素) pump. Two young Bills fans, Ryan Patota and Nicholas Howard, decided to do something different. Instead of just enjoying their team’s win, they started a fundraising drive for Breakthrough T1D, a charity that supports diabetes research. Their goal was to raise $5,000. “We just want to spread love,” Patota said. “You hate the other team. You want your team to win. But we want to bring both fan bases together and say this is more than a game.” Word spread quickly. Donations poured in from Bills fans, then Ravens fans, and even fans of other NFL teams. Soon they had raised more than $146,000 — far beyond their original goal. Two weeks after the game, Andrews shared his feelings online. “I’m absolutely upset by what happened,” he wrote. “But despite the negativity, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have donated to ‘Breakthrough T1D.’ Patota says he’s still a loyal Bills fan, but now, he adds, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Ravens.” What started as a painful mistake on the field turned into something beautiful — fans from rival teams coming together to support a cause greater than the game itself. 24. What happened to Andrew in an NFL playoff game last season? A. He scored a decisive touchdown. B. He got injured and left the field. C. He stumbled and missed a key pass. D. He passed the ball to his opponent. 25. Why did Patota and Howard start the fundraising? A. To raise money for diabetes research. B. To cover Andrews’ medical expenses. C. To celebrate their team’s playoff victory. D. To gain more followers on Instagram. 26. What can be inferred about Mark Andrews? A. He felt ashamed of his past performance. B. He was grateful for the support he received. C. He was disappointed with his teammates. D. He felt hopeful about his future career. 27. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-Changing Mistake B. From Competition to Generosity C. Lessons from a Playoff Loss D. Living with Type 1 Diabetes C Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and how it is served matters, too. When people do, they take much more than they eat. Compared with ordering from the menu, buffet breakfasts waste more food — up to twice as much, according to one study. Experts have puzzled for years over how to encourage eaters to show a little control. Previous research has found that factors which influence how much ends up in the bin range from nationality to the size of the plates. The passive-aggressive signs on some buffet tables asking guests to take only what they know they will polish off have been shown to increase the piles of leftovers. Now researchers in Norway and Italy have cooked up a new idea. They have built a virtual breakfast buffet populated with virtual guests and are using it to find the best strategies to make buffet-goers leave behind fewer leftovers. The team settled on four main motivations guiding their model’s buffet goers: peckishness (饥饿), the desire to live sustainably, social pressure and self-control. They then overlaid external drivers that turned those motives into behaviour. These altered variables such as the duration of the buffet, the size of plates and the diversity of food on offer. The result suggested the most important influence in limiting waste was, unsurprisingly, someone’s attitude to sustainability. Plate size was the most important of the external drivers: although the people in the model with both small and large plates went back for more, those with smaller plates tended to finish what they took. How long guests were allowed to stick around and what food they could enjoy had less of an impact. Hotels could use the virtual buffet to minimise food waste. They could see what happens if plates were 20% smaller, for example. They could also work out exactly how those annoying signs could be rewritten to have the most useful effect given a hotelier’s typical customers. 28. What is the problem for buffets? A. Offering proper service. B. Satisfying eaters’ tastes. C. Controlling portion size. D. Adjusting eating duration. 29. What affects buffet-goers most according to the model? A. Peer pressure. B. Green mindset. C. Plate size. D. Nationality. 30. How does the virtual buffet benefit hotels? A. It enriches the menu. B. It changes service hours. C. It rearranges table signs. D. It provides practical data. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Shift in Breakfast Buffet Habits. B. Virtual Model Lowers Breakfast Waste. C. Live Your Day with Sustainable Food. D. A Computer Module for Buffet Breakfasts. D Large language models (LLMs) are trained on the written word, from textbooks to social media posts, and our speech as captured in movies and on television. These models have minimal access to the unscripted (即兴) conversations we have face-to-face or voice-to-voice. This is the vast majority of speech, and a vital component of human culture. There’s a risk to this. The increased use of LLMs means we humans will encounter much more AI-generated text. We humans, in turn, will begin to adopt the linguistic patterns and behaviors of these models. This will affect not just how we communicate with one another, but also how we think about ourselves and what goes on around us. One of the first effects we could see is in simple expression, much as texting and social media have resulted in us using shorter sentences, emojis instead of words, and much less punctuation. But with AI, the impacts may be more harmful. A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience. Additionally, LLMs may not learn how to emulate (模仿)the free-wheeling nature of live, natural speech. When told “I hate Beth!”, ChatGPT replies with an uninterrupted three-part formula of confirmation (“That’s completely valid”), invitation (“I’m here to listen”) and invitation (“What’ s going on?”), far longer than any reply in face-to-face dialog. “What’s Beth’s deal?” sets off a bullet point list of queries that reads like a multiple choice exam question (“Is Beth a celebrity?” “a friend from school?” “a fictional character?”). No human speaks that way, at least not yet. We don’t pretend to know what the best solutions might be. But one has to imagine: if there’s ingenuity (才能)to develop AI models, then surely there’s ingenuity to come up with a way to train them on informal human speech. People talk, fully and naturally, to each other — these models are being trained to mirror everything but us at our most authentically human. 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The diverse sources for LLM training. B. The value of face-to-face conversations. C. The ways humans access LLMs. D. The inadequacy of LLM training. 33. What does the underlined word “curt” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Rude. B. Excited. C. Anxious. D. Confused. 34. How does ChatGPT respond to personal remarks? A. In a fixed pattern. B. With casual comments. C. In a way human thinks. D. With follow-up questions. 35. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. The best solution is easily available. B. LLMs need unscripted conversations. C. AI models reflect true human feelings. D. AI goes far ahead of human intelligence. 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。 In an age of digital distraction, speed is celebrated. We skim news headlines, scroll social media, and jump between texts, treating reading as a task to finish quickly rather than an experience to enjoy. ____36____ Yet a quiet movement called slow reading is encouraging people to rediscover the depth and joy of reading at a gentle pace. Slow reading is the practice of engaging with a text mindfully, taking time to understand ideas, appreciate language, and reflect on meaning. It contrasts sharply with speed reading, which prioritizes quantity over quality, and digital reading, which encourages skimming and multitasking. ____37____ It is a richer, more meaningful way to interact with written words. When we read slowly, we activate deeper parts of the brain involved in analysis, empathy, and reflection. The rise of digital media has made slow reading harder to practice. Screens are designed for quick consumption, with hyperlinks, notifications, and short paragraphs that discourage deep focus. ____38____ This “digital attention deficit（缺失）” affects learning, work, and mental well-being. ____39____ It applies to any text, from articles to poems. Simple techniques can help anyone adopt the practice: setting aside dedicated time without devices, reading aloud, taking notes, and pausing to reflect on key points. These small changes turn reading from a hurried chore into a calming, rewarding activity. The slow reading movement is not against technology or progress. It simply reminds us that reading is a human experience, not a performance criterion. By slowing down, we reconnect with the power of words to inspire, challenge, and transform us. In a fast-paced world, slow reading is not just a skill. ____40____. A. It is a form of self-care. B. Slow reading is not just for books. C. It reduces stress and improves mental clarity. D. Advocates argue that slow reading is not inefficient. E. A wide range of content is easily accessible on digital devices. F. This rushed approach weakens comprehension, memory, and critical thinking. G. Many people admit failing to read a long article or book without feeling restless. 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四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Most of us are bad at predicting what will make us happy, including the world’s best athletes.

Researchers have found that a significant number of Olympians ___43___ from a phenomenon called the post-Olympic blues — a(n) ___44___ crash following the Games. For decades, scientists have sought to ___45___ why this happens. The answer starts with a simple but ___46___ fact: people are really bad at predicting what will make them happy. One of the main reasons for this is a cognitive ___47___ known as “focalism” — the tendency to focus ___48___ on big, life-changing events while ___49___ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life. When we imagine happiness, we tend to think of ___50___ moments: a championship, a promotion, a dream vacation. But here is what researchers have actually discovered: how good your experiences are doesn’t ___51___ nearly as much as how many good experiences you have. The ___52___ of small, positive moments is a far better ___53___ of overall happiness than the intensity of a single great event. ___54___, happiness is not one big victory. It is the ___55___ of hundreds of small things. 41. A. disappeared B. multiplied C. lessened D. collapsed 42. A. tiring B. empty C. lonely D. meaningless 43. A. escape B. recover C. benefit D. suffer 44. A. emotional B. physical C. sudden D. financial 45. A. carry out B. point out C. figure out D. rule out 46. A. apparent B. surprising C. remarkable D. well-known 47. A. bias B. ability C. error D. blindness 48. A. narrowly B. broadly C. briefly D. casually 49. A. balancing B. remembering C. ignoring D. overvaluing 50. A. memorable B. intense C. rare D. daily 51. A. differ B. matter C. improve D. bother 52. A. duration B. quality C. frequency D. variety 53. A. result B. cause C. reminder D. predictor 54. A. Fortunately B. Similarly C. Obviously D. Actually 55.

These early “wooden birds”, ___56___ (fashion) from wood served primarily for military signaling and distance measurement. This humble beginning laid the groundwork for a pastime ___57___ would eventually grace skies worldwide. The subsequent invention of paper during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25—220) revolutionized kite design, making them lighter, more affordable, and ___58___ (access). This crucial shift transformed kites from instruments of war ___59___ cherished objects of leisure and artistic expression, reflecting not only technological advancement but also humanity’s innate desire ___60___ (blend) practicality with beauty. A remarkable testament to resourcefulness unfolded in 1847 at Niagara Falls. Engineers faced the challenge of stringing the initial line across the daunting gorge (险峻的峡谷) to begin constructing a suspension bridge. ___61___ (they) solution? A kite-flying competition. ___62___ (interesting), a teenager named Homan Walsh skillfully piloted his kite across ___63___ divide.

We shared everything — lunches, secrets, and dreams for the future. Yet as graduation approached, the mounting stress of exams and college applications began to take its toll on both of us. We studied side by side and promised to get through this together. The turning point came after the midterm examinations. I had prepared for weeks — sacrificing sleep, skipping social gatherings — yet my score fell far below my expectation. Finally, on the other hand, received one of the highest grades in our class. She tried to be kind about it, never bragging or even mentioning her score. But somehow, that made things worse. She came to me that afternoon with my favorite snacks. “It’s just one exam,” she said gently. “You’ll do better next time.” I nodded but could not bring myself to look at her. She attempted to lighten the mood with silly jokes, but every word felt like a reminder of the growing gap between us. Then she said, half-jokingly, “Come on, don’t be so negative. It’s not the end of the world.” Something inside me broke. “Easy for you to say,” I erupted. “You’re not the one who failed.” The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Her face fell. She parted her lips to respond, but no words came. After a long, painful silence, she simply stood up and walked away without a word. The following days were cold and heavy. We stopped sitting together at lunch. She found a new table, and I did the same. We passed each other in the hallways like strangers. I could tell she was hurting too, but pride kept us both frozen. The silence between us was not empty — it was loaded with guilt, pride, and everything we wished we could say. It was not until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. When I saw our names paired on the list, I felt a mix of dread and relief. Finally, there was no way out. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Silence fell upon us whew we sat down to prepare at first. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the weight lifted off our shoulders, we threw ourselves into preparing the presentation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
