After winning four World Cup overall championships, she ranks among the all-time leaders in World Cup victories. Vonn made history as the first American woman to win Olympic gold in downhill (速降) at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Vonn showed great talent at age two when she first stepped onto the slopes (斜坡). She won her first race at seven and began international competitions by nine. Coming from an athletic family — her father was a former junior ski champion — Vonn received strong support. Yet her drive was unique. She didn’t just love to compete; she loved speed. The focus required for sharp turns at high speed and the excitement of risk-taking drew her to downhill racing. Recognizing her potential, the family moved to Colorado for world-class training and better opportunities. However, Vonn’s career was anything but easy. Crashing on ice at high speed without protection led to severe injuries — one crash nearly tore her leg in half. After many injuries, doctors advised her to retire. She initially followed this advice, saying, “Never give up. Just start a new chapter.” But Vonn wasn’t finished. She ended five years of retirement with a comeback. “I still love skiing, and that’s the only reason I came back,” she explained while preparing for the next Olympics. 4. What attracted Vonn to downhill racing? A. The top training in Colorado. B. The challenge of speed and risk. C. Her early success in competitions. D. Her father’s championship experience. 5. Why did Vonn’s family move to Colorado? A. To join a famous skiing club. B. To receive better medical treatment. C. To escape from their previous life. D. To further her training and career. 6. What can we learn about Vonn? A. She won her first race at nine. B. She found retirement life boring. C. She returned after five years of retirement. D. She is the most successful ski racer in history. 7. Which of the following can best describe Vonn? A. Talented and strong-willed. B. Honest and humorous. C. Careful and strict. D. Confident and generous. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍传奇滑雪运动员林赛·沃恩的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The focus required for sharp turns at high speed and the excitement of risk-taking drew her to downhill racing.(高速急转弯所需的专注力，加上冒险带来的刺激感，让她迷上了速降滑雪。)”可知，速度与冒险的挑战吸引她从事速降滑雪。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recognizing her potential, the family moved to Colorado for world-class training and better opportunities.(家人察觉到她的天赋，便举家搬到科罗拉多州，以求接受顶尖训练、获得更多发展机遇。)”可知，搬家是为了接受顶级训练、获取更好发展机遇，助力职业发展。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She ended five years of retirement with a comeback.(她结束五年退役生涯，再度重返赛场。)”可知，退役五年后，她再度复出。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Vonn showed great talent at age two when she first stepped onto the slopes (斜坡).(沃恩两岁初次踏上雪坡，便展现出过人滑雪天赋。)”可知，她是有天赋的，根据最后一段“After many injuries, doctors advised her to retire. She initially followed this advice, saying, “Never give up. Just start a new chapter.” But Vonn wasn’t finished. She ended five years of retirement with a comeback.(历经数次伤病，医生建议她退役。起初她听从建议，并坦言：“永不言弃，只是开启人生新篇章。”但她并未就此告别赛场。结束五年退役生涯后，她再度回归。)”可知，她伤病缠身仍选择复出体现意志坚定。由此可知，她天资出众且意志顽强。 C Not every famous singer is as lucky as Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, who is still active even at age 82. One study suggests that even with the protection of wealth, which is usually linked with a longer life, famous singers can expect to cut almost five years off their life expectancy (寿命). The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and built on previous research that had already suggested that famous singers pass away younger. It wanted to look at whether it was fame (名誉) itself or the singers’ lifestyles that were behind this. The researchers made a list of 324 famous singers who worked between 1950 and 1990. Then they matched those stars with a list of 324 less famous singers by when they were born, where they were from, and if they were part of a band or not. Nearly 60% of the singers were in bands, while close to 30% were solo (独唱的) singers, and the rest had spent parts of their careers both solo and in bands. When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk. The researchers said this makes stardom about as much a risk to health as occasionally smoking. The study also found that being part of a band could be protective, giving those singers a 26% lower death risk than solo singers. The researchers suggested that this could be because being part of a band means not having to deal with the pressure of being famous alone. 8. What was the study based on? A. Stars’ albums. B. Mick Jagger’s story. C. Previous research. D. An interview. 9. What did the researchers take into consideration when matching the singers? A. Their health condition. B. Their birth year. C. Their educational background. D. Their eating habits. 10. Which of the following has the closest meaning to “stardom” in paragraph 5? A. Being famous. B. A disease. C. Stars in the sky. D. Smoking. 11. What does the study find? A. Rock music is the most popular. B. Famous singers live unhealthily. C. Band members are under a lot of pressure. D. Well-known solo singers tend to have shorter lives. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于知名歌手寿命的研究。研究发现，即使拥有财富，知名歌手的预期寿命仍比不太出名的歌手短近五年，且独唱歌手比乐队成员的死亡风险更高。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and built on previous research that had already suggested that famous singers pass away younger.(该研究发表在《流行病学与社区健康杂志》上，并建立在先前已有研究的基础上，那些研究已经表明知名歌手去世更早。)”可知，这项研究是基于之前的研究开展的。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then they matched those stars with a list of 324 less famous singers by when they were born, where they were from, and if they were part of a band or not.(然后他们根据出生时间、来自哪里以及是否属于乐队，将这些明星与324位不太出名的歌手进行匹配。)”可知，研究人员在匹配歌手时考虑了他们的出生年份。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk. The researchers said this makes stardom about as much a risk to health as occasionally smoking.(当大明星与不太出名的“双胞胎”相比时，他们的死亡风险高出33%。研究人员表示，这使得stardom对健康的危害与偶尔吸烟相当。)”可知，此处将stardom与偶尔吸烟对健康的危害作比较，说明stardom指的是“成名”这一状态，与Being famous意思相近。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk.(当把这些大明星与他们不那么出名的“双胞胎”进行比较时，发现他们的死亡风险高出33%。)”以及最后一段中的“The study also found that being part of a band could be protective, giving those singers a 26% lower death risk than solo singers.(研究还发现，成为乐队的一员可能具有保护作用，使这些歌手的死亡风险比独唱歌手低26%。)”可知，知名独唱歌手往往需要独自承受成名压力，倾向于拥有更短的寿命。 D If you look online, you can find earbuds(耳机) for less than $ 10 that offer real-time AI-powered translation of dozens of languages. You just put in the earbuds, and they’ll translate what they hear into your chosen language. That means if you’re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a shop helper in Malaysia or a new friend in Egypt, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying thanks to the earbuds. Some of these earbuds even say their translations are 99% accurate(精确的). It sounds almost like magic, doesn’t it? Perhaps. But translating a language and learning a language are very different things, language experts remind us. Writing in The Conversation, language professor Gabriel Guillén and Thor Sawin say that while translation earbuds may be useful for a moment, they can’t replace the benefits of language learning. “The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world through someone else’s eyes,” they add. “And as people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make deeper connections with people from different cultures.” Research has already suggested that using AI when we’re writing means we exercise our brains less — and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don’t have to work our minds to get them. Guillén and Sawin admit that learning a language isn’t easy, but it is rewarding. In fact, they add, “Language learning builds exactly what AI-age companies want: lifelong learning, creative thinking and active listening.” So it’s easy to look at those cheap earbuds and think about all the things we could gain by using them. But we should also think: What might we lose by taking the easy route? 12. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about the earbuds? A. Their use cases. B. Their appearance. C. Their inconvenience. D. Their operating instructions. 13. What do Guillén and Sawin agree on? A. Translation earbuds enable active listening. B. AI-powered earbuds are completely useless. C. Language beginners should take an easy route. D. Language learning may reduce culture shock. 14. What is the problem of using translation earbuds according to the research? A. It lacks security. B. It weakens our thinking. C. It exercises our ears less. D. It gets 99% of its translations wrong. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. AI Applications in Language Learning B. A Conversation Between AI and Human Beings C. Why Learning Languages Still Matters in the AI Age D. How Translation Earbuds Make Language Learning Unnecessary 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了实时翻译耳机虽然能提供便捷的语言转换服务，但语言专家指出这并不能替代真正的语言学习，文章论证了在人工智能时代学习语言依然具有重要价值。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you look online, you can find earbuds (耳机) for less than $ 10 that offer real-time AI-powered translation of dozens of languages. You just put in the earbuds, and they’ll translate what they hear into your chosen language. That means if you’re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a shop helper in Malaysia or a new friend in Egypt, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying thanks to the earbuds.(如果你在网上看，你会发现不到10美元就能买到提供几十种语言实时人工智能翻译的耳机。你只需戴上耳机，它们就会把听到的内容翻译成你选择的语言。这意味着，如果你试图与西班牙的警察、马来西亚的店员或埃及的新朋友交流，多亏了这些耳机，你将能够理解他们在说什么。)”可知，第一段主要列举了耳机在西班牙、马来西亚、埃及等不同国家和场景下的具体应用，即其主要的使用案例。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world through someone else’s eyes,” they add. “And as people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make deeper connections with people from different cultures.”(他们补充道：“学习一门语言的这份心意，彰显着尊重与信任，也体现出愿意换位思考、以他人视角看待世界的态度。如今跨国往来愈发频繁，掌握不同语言能让我们与异域文化的人们建立更深层次的联系。”)”可知，Guillén和Sawin认为语言学习能帮助人们建立深层连接，理解不同文化。由此推断，这自然会减少因文化差异带来的冲击。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Research has already suggested that using AI when we’re writing means we exercise our brains less — and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don’t have to work our minds to get them.(研究已经表明，当我们写作时使用人工智能意味着我们的大脑锻炼得更少——同样的概念也适用于翻译耳机。它们给我们答案，但我们不需要动脑筋去获得它们。)”可知，研究指出的问题在于使用翻译耳机让我们省去了思考的过程，从而削弱了我们大脑的思维能力。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Guillén and Sawin admit that learning a language isn’t easy, but it is rewarding. In fact, they add, “Language learning builds exactly what AI-age companies want: lifelong learning, creative thinking and active listening.”(吉列恩和索温坦言，学习一门语言并非易事，但收获颇丰。他们还补充道：“语言学习恰恰能培养出人工智能时代企业所看重的能力：终身学习能力、创造性思维以及积极倾听的素养。”)”文章以AI翻译耳机为切入点，对比人工智能翻译工具与人工语言学习的差异，重点阐述在人工智能时代，语言学习依然有着不可替代的重要价值。C选项“Why Learning Languages Still Matters in the AI Age(为什么在人工智能时代学习语言仍然重要)”最能概括全文主旨。 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。 New Year, New Goals: For You and Your Pets The start of a new year is a perfect time for setting new goals — and this should include your pets.

B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了家境拮据的作者因优惠券失效崩溃，超市经理主动为她减免15美元，这份善意让她深受触动，事后她为经理留下五星好评，至今仍时常感念这份温暖。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我儿子的特殊配方奶有一张优惠券，这种奶粉很贵，所以省点钱会有帮助。A. tasty 美味的；B. expensive 昂贵的；C. cheap 便宜的；D. fresh 新鲜的。根据下文“so saving any money would help”可知，因为需要省钱，可推测这种特殊的配方奶价格不菲。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：在收银台，我从钱包里拿出优惠券，收银员开始扫描，但失败了。A. dropped 掉落；B. broke 损坏；C. disappeared 消失；D. failed 失败。根据下一句“She tried again, and it failed again.”可知，这里指机器扫描优惠券没有成功。 【23题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：她叫来经理，看看他是否能解决这个问题。A. argue about争论；B. focus on集中注意力于；C. bring up 提出；D. figure out 弄清楚，解决。根据上文“She tried again, and it failed again.”可知，机器扫描失败的情况，叫经理来是为了“解决”这个问题。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：当它仍然无法使用时，经理带我去客服部门试一下，这样我就不会堵塞队伍了。A. hold握住；B. pick 挑选；C. clean清理；D. wake唤醒。固定搭配 hold up 意为“阻碍，耽搁”。经理带她去客服处是为了不耽误后面排队结账的人。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：他告诉我，因为优惠券被折叠起来放进钱包里，底部的数字无法读取。A. drawer抽屉；B. handbag手提包；C. wallet钱包；D. pocket口袋。根据第二段开头“I pulled the coupon out of my wallet”可知，优惠券是放在钱包里的。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：听到这话，我突然哭了起来。A. cheers欢呼；B. anger愤怒；C. tears眼泪；D. laughter笑声。根据下文“I told the manager I was sorry for crying”可知，作者当时情绪崩溃，爆发了眼泪。burst into tears 为固定搭配，意为“突然大哭”。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：我和丈夫手头很紧，但我找到了我们真正需要的优惠券。A. food食物；B. money钱；C. time时间；D. freedom自由。根据第一段提到的“saving any money would help”以及作者因为优惠券无法使用而崩溃大哭，可知他们当时经济拮据，缺钱。be tight for money 意为“手头紧”。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：我和丈夫手头很紧，但我找到了我们真正需要的优惠券。A. wasted浪费；B. bought买；C. received收到；D. found发现，找到。结合后文“the coupon we really needed”可知，作者历经波折终于找到了这张能省钱的优惠券，却发现机器扫不出来，才导致情绪崩溃。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：然后他告诉我，他会给我减免15美元，并且由他来承担这笔费用。A. promise承诺；B. send发送；C. keep保持；D. cover支付，承担。cover the cost/price 表示“支付/承担费用”，句中“it”指代前文的15美元，经理决定自掏腰包或者由店里承担这15美元的折扣。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我试图告诉他这不是我的本意，我可以按原价支付，但他告诉我不要担心这件事。A. low低的；B. high高的；C. full全部的，完整的；D. half一半的。根据后文“price”可知，作者觉得不好意思让经理承担损失，表示愿意支付“全额/原价”。full price 意为“原价，全价”。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：我试图告诉他这不是我的本意，我可以按原价支付，但他告诉我不要担心这件事。A. joke开玩笑；B. worry担心；C. ask问；D. learn学习。结合语境，此处表示作者觉得过意不去想要付全款，经理安慰她“不要担心/别放在心上”。worry about 为固定搭配，意为“担心”。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：但我仍然经常想起这件事，因为我真的不是想占便宜，但他那天还是拯救了我的心理健康（帮我从崩溃的状态里走了出来）。A. truly真正地；B. gradually逐渐地；C. secretly秘密地；D. carefully仔细地。作者强调自己“确实/真的”没有故意想要通过哭闹来获取特殊待遇。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：但我仍然经常想起这件事，因为我真的不是想占便宜，但他那天还是拯救了我的心理健康。A. replaced替换；B. checked检查；C. harmed伤害；D. saved拯救。结合前文“I told the manager I was sorry for crying, and I was just overwhelmed (崩溃). He then told me that he was going to give me the $15 off, and he would ____ it.”可知，作者因为生活拮据而崩溃大哭，经理的善举安慰了她，让她感受到了温暖，因此是“拯救”了她的心理状态即帮助作者从崩溃的状态里走了出来。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：我在网上给他留了一个五星好评。A. tip小费；B. reward奖励；C. review评论，评价；D. warning警告。根据前文“I left a five-star”以及后文的“online”可知，这是在网站上留下的评价。five-star review 意为“五星好评”。 【35题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：我怀疑他是否还会想起我，但我却总是想起他。A. on time按时；B. all the time一直，总是；C. in time及时；D. in no time立刻。根据前文的“but I still think about it often”可知，作者对这位经理的善举心怀感激，因此是“一直/总是”想起他。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Tasmania, an island ____36____ lies about 150 miles off Australia’ s southeast coast, is one of Earth’s most beautiful places. It is roughly the same size as the state of West Virginia, but it is largely untouched — more than 20% of the state ____37____ (protect) as part of UNESCO’s Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, and just over 40% of the entire island is a national park or reserve. Most ____38____ (visitor) arrive via Hobart, a beautiful historic town along the Derwent River, featuring great museums, Mount Wellington, and the popular Salamanca Market held every Saturday. Tasmania has been home ____39____ Aboriginal Tasmanians for at least 35,000 years. Around 10,000 years ago, rising sea levels cut Tasmania off from mainland Australia, ____40____ (lead) to unique Indigenous language and culture. When Europeans arrived, much of this culture was lost, including its ____41____ (origin) language, palawa kani. Today, the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre is working ____42____ (recover) the language and cultural heritage. Following Dutch explorers in the1640s, permanent settlement （永久定居） by the British began in 1803. In 1901, Tasmania became ____43____ Australian state. To ____44____ (full) experience Tasmania, hiking is a must. The island offers over 1,700miles of diverse walking trails. These include multi-day adventures _____45_____ (design) for all tourists, such as the 6-8-day South Coast Track and the 4-day Three Capes Track. 【答案】36. that##which 37. is protected 38. visitors 39. to 40. leading 41. original 42. to recover 43. an 44. fully 45. designed 【解析】 【导语】这篇文主要介绍了塔斯马尼亚岛的地理位置、历史及其体验方式。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：塔斯马尼亚是一个位于澳大利亚东南海岸约150英里外的岛屿，是地球上最美丽的地方之一。分析句子可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词是an island（物），关系词在从句中作主语，因此可用关系代词which或that。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：它的面积大约与西弗吉尼亚州相当，但大部分地区仍保持着原始状态——超过20%的土地被列为联合国教科文组织“塔斯马尼亚荒野世界遗产区”的保护范围，而整个岛屿上超过40%的区域为国家公园或保护区。主语 more than 20% of the state 与 protect 是被动关系，描述客观现状用一般现在时；主语核心为单数概念的 state，因此填一般现在时的被动语态is protected。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：大多数游客通过霍巴特抵达，霍巴特是德文特河沿岸一座美丽的古老城镇，拥有众多出色的博物馆、威灵顿山以及每周六举行的热门萨拉曼卡市场。most后接可数名词需用复数形式，visitor是可数名词，因此变为复数visitors。 【39题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：塔斯马尼亚至少已有35,000年是原住民的家园。此处为固定搭配 be home to，意为“是……的家园/栖息地”，符合“塔斯马尼亚是原住民的家园”的语义。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：大约一万年前，海平面上升使塔斯马尼亚与澳大利亚大陆分离，从而形成了独特的土著语言和文化。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，lead和逻辑主语前面整句话为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当欧洲人到来时，这种文化的大部分都消失了，包括它的原始语言——帕拉瓦卡尼语。空格修饰名词 language，需用形容词。origin是名词，变为形容词 original，意为“原始的、最初的”。 【42题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：如今，塔斯马尼亚原住民中心正致力于恢复这一语言和文化遗产。根据句意可知，空格处表示工作的目的，用动词不定式作目的状语，所以为to recover的填入。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：1901年，塔斯马尼亚成为澳大利亚的一个州。根据句意可知，此处泛指“一个澳大利亚州”，Australian 以元音音素开头，因此用不定冠词 an。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：要充分体验塔斯马尼亚，徒步旅行必不可少。空格修饰动词 experience，需用副词。full是形容词，变为副词fully，意为“充分地、完全地”。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该岛拥有超过1700英里的多样化徒步路线，其中包括适合所有游客的多日探险路线，例如为期6至8天的南岸步道和为期4天的三岬步道。分析句子可知，此处为过去分词作后置定语，逻辑主语adventures与design是被动关系，意为“为所有游客设计的多日探险路线”，因此填过去分词designed。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 为弘扬中国传统文化，你校将举办一场英语演讲比赛。请你以“My Favorite Traditional Chinese Festival”为题写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1.简要介绍该节日； 2.你的经历与感悟。 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。 My Favorite Traditional Chinese Festival Good morning, everyone! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My Favorite Traditional Chinese Festival Good morning, everyone!

I spent as much time as possible anywhere but home. I basically lived at the public library. The librarian, Mrs. Chen, noticed. She never asked personal questions. Never made me feel like a problem. She just made sure I always had a quiet place to sit and that I had books to read. Sometimes she’d leave snacks on the table where I was sitting. One afternoon, I was writing in my notebook when Mrs. Chen walked over. “Do you like writing?” she asked. I nodded, closing the cover. Instead of asking to see it, she simply smiled. “You seem to enjoy it,” she said softly. “Keep at it.” After that, she would occasionally leave a blank (空白的) notebook on my table with a simple note: “For your stories.” Other times, she’d recommend books she thought I might enjoy. She always quietly let me know she noticed. Years later, I left my hometown for college and eventually became a writer. Through all those years, I never forgot Mrs. Chen. One afternoon, I sat down and wrote her a letter, telling her everything — how her quiet faith saved me; how I became a writer because of her. I mailed it, unsure if she’d even remember me. Weeks passed. I didn’t expect a reply, but I found myself hoping. Then one day, an invitation arrived: my first book event, back in my hometown. 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。 That day, after the event, I went to the library to visit Mrs. Chen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I turned to Mrs. Chen and said, “What if I started a free writing workshop here — in my old place?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That day, after the event, I went to the library to visit Mrs. Chen. When I walked through the familiar doors, Mrs. Chen was busy shelving the books. I approached and said hello. She looked up, and for a moment she just stared. Then her face broke into that same warm smile I remembered from years ago. “I got your letter,” she said. “I’m not much for writing back, but I read it more than once.” I nodded. I understood. She had never been one for words — just quiet actions. She led me to my old place, telling me stories about the newcomers — kids just like I had been. Hearing that, I had a new idea. I turned to Mrs. Chen and said, “What if I started a free writing workshop here — in my old place?” Her eyes lit up. “You’d do that?” she asked. “You gave me a place to become myself,” I said. “Now I want to give the newcomers the same.” She smiled, reached into her pocket and then pulled out a folded piece of paper. It was a flyer she had drawn up weeks ago, advertising Free Writing Workshop for Kids at the library. “I’ve been waiting for the right person to help me with this,” she said softly. We both laughed. “We had the same plan,” I said. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物经历为线索。通过讲述作者中学时期家庭生活糟糕，常年在图书馆落脚，管理员陈女士以默默的善意守护他、鼓励他坚持写作，多年后作者成为作家返乡，二人不约而同计划在图书馆开设免费儿童写作工坊的温暖故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段主要写“我”在活动结束后回到图书馆拜访陈女士，两人重逢并回忆起往事，陈女士向“我”讲述了图书馆里新来的孩子们的故事，这让“我”萌生了一个新想法。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写“我”向陈女士提议在老位置开办免费写作坊，两人一拍即合，陈女士拿出了早已准备好的海报，点明两人的默契，升华了爱与传承的主题。 续写线索： 拜访陈女士 → 温暖重逢 → 讲述新来的孩子 → 萌生新想法 → 提议开办写作坊 → 拿出准备好的海报 →升华主题（爱心与传承） 词类激活： 行为类： 接近：approach/draw near/come near 掏出：pull out/pluck out/take out 情绪类： 温暖：warm/heartwarming 激动/眼睛发亮：light up/sparkle with excitement 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Hearing that, I had a new idea.

What starts as a hobby could end with you taking humanity to Mars! So, to give you a head start, we are offering you the best model rocket deals. Estes NASA SLS US$90 now US$72 On the orange ship of NASA’s recent SLS rocket, this 1:200 scale model will reach a height of 350 feet and it comes pre-finished with a parachute. Estes Long Ranger US$20 now US$15 Estes Long Ranger can soar up to 1,100 feet with the right power system fitted, and then sail groundward with its parachute. Its eye-catching color match means you’re unlikely to miss it when it touches down. Estes Mini Arcas US$30 now US$12 Estes Mini Arcas is capable of hitting 550 feet, though you’ll have to supply your own engines and launch pad. Its pocket-friendly price makes it a good starting rocket for beginners. Estes Blue Origin New Shepard US$42 now US$36 You can save about 14% on this instantly recognizable ship. This isn’t the biggest saving available, but what’s cooler than having something recognizable fly through the air? It comes with its own parachute and will reach a height of 700 feet. 1. Which rocket model goes the highest? A. Estes Mini Arcas. B. Estes Long Ranger. C. Estes NASA SLS. D. Estes Blue Origin New Shepard. 2. How much can you save on Estes Mini Arcas now? A. 14%. B. 20%. C. 25%. D. 60%. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote products. B. To explain how rockets work. C. To teach how to save money. D. To announce a rocket launch. B Lindsey Vonn is one of the most successful ski racers in history. After winning four World Cup overall championships, she ranks among the all-time leaders in World Cup victories. Vonn made history as the first American woman to win Olympic gold in downhill (速降) at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Vonn showed great talent at age two when she first stepped onto the slopes (斜坡). She won her first race at seven and began international competitions by nine. Coming from an athletic family — her father was a former junior ski champion — Vonn received strong support. Yet her drive was unique. She didn’t just love to compete; she loved speed. The focus required for sharp turns at high speed and the excitement of risk-taking drew her to downhill racing. Recognizing her potential, the family moved to Colorado for world-class training and better opportunities. However, Vonn’s career was anything but easy. Crashing on ice at high speed without protection led to severe injuries — one crash nearly tore her leg in half. After many injuries, doctors advised her to retire. She initially followed this advice, saying, “Never give up. Just start a new chapter.” But Vonn wasn’t finished. She ended five years of retirement with a comeback. “I still love skiing, and that’s the only reason I came back,” she explained while preparing for the next Olympics. 4. What attracted Vonn to downhill racing? A. The top training in Colorado. B. The challenge of speed and risk. C. Her early success in competitions. D. Her father’s championship experience. 5. Why did Vonn’s family move to Colorado? A. To join a famous skiing club. B. To receive better medical treatment. C. To escape from their previous life. D. To further her training and career. 6. What can we learn about Vonn? A. She won her first race at nine. B. She found retirement life boring. C. She returned after five years of retirement. D. She is the most successful ski racer in history. 7. Which of the following can best describe Vonn? A. Talented and strong-willed. B. Honest and humorous. C. Careful and strict. D. Confident and generous. C Not every famous singer is as lucky as Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, who is still active even at age 82. One study suggests that even with the protection of wealth, which is usually linked with a longer life, famous singers can expect to cut almost five years off their life expectancy (寿命). The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and built on previous research that had already suggested that famous singers pass away younger. It wanted to look at whether it was fame (名誉) itself or the singers’ lifestyles that were behind this. The researchers made a list of 324 famous singers who worked between 1950 and 1990. Then they matched those stars with a list of 324 less famous singers by when they were born, where they were from, and if they were part of a band or not. Nearly 60% of the singers were in bands, while close to 30% were solo (独唱的) singers, and the rest had spent parts of their careers both solo and in bands. When the big stars were compared to their less famous “twins”, they were found to have a 33% higher death risk. The researchers said this makes stardom about as much a risk to health as occasionally smoking. The study also found that being part of a band could be protective, giving those singers a 26% lower death risk than solo singers. The researchers suggested that this could be because being part of a band means not having to deal with the pressure of being famous alone. 8. What was the study based on? A. Stars’ albums. B. Mick Jagger’s story. C. Previous research. D. An interview. 9. What did the researchers take into consideration when matching the singers? A. Their health condition. B. Their birth year. C. Their educational background. D. Their eating habits. 10. Which of the following has the closest meaning to “stardom” in paragraph 5? A. Being famous. B. A disease. C. Stars in the sky. D. Smoking. 11. What does the study find? A. Rock music is the most popular. B. Famous singers live unhealthily. C. Band members are under a lot of pressure. D. Well-known solo singers tend to have shorter lives. D If you look online, you can find earbuds(耳机) for less than $ 10 that offer real-time AI-powered translation of dozens of languages. You just put in the earbuds, and they’ll translate what they hear into your chosen language. That means if you’re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a shop helper in Malaysia or a new friend in Egypt, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying thanks to the earbuds. Some of these earbuds even say their translations are 99% accurate(精确的). It sounds almost like magic, doesn’t it? Perhaps. But translating a language and learning a language are very different things, language experts remind us. Writing in The Conversation, language professor Gabriel Guillén and Thor Sawin say that while translation earbuds may be useful for a moment, they can’t replace the benefits of language learning. “The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world through someone else’s eyes,” they add. “And as people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make deeper connections with people from different cultures.” Research has already suggested that using AI when we’re writing means we exercise our brains less — and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don’t have to work our minds to get them. Guillén and Sawin admit that learning a language isn’t easy, but it is rewarding. In fact, they add, “Language learning builds exactly what AI-age companies want: lifelong learning, creative thinking and active listening.” So it’s easy to look at those cheap earbuds and think about all the things we could gain by using them. But we should also think: What might we lose by taking the easy route? 12. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about the earbuds? A. Their use cases. B. Their appearance. C. Their inconvenience. D. Their operating instructions. 13. What do Guillén and Sawin agree on? A. Translation earbuds enable active listening. B. AI-powered earbuds are completely useless. C. Language beginners should take an easy route. D. Language learning may reduce culture shock. 14. What is the problem of using translation earbuds according to the research? A. It lacks security. B. It weakens our thinking. C. It exercises our ears less. D. It gets 99% of its translations wrong. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. AI Applications in Language Learning B. A Conversation Between AI and Human Beings C. Why Learning Languages Still Matters in the AI Age D. How Translation Earbuds Make Language Learning Unnecessary 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。 New Year, New Goals: For You and Your Pets The start of a new year is a perfect time for setting new goals — and this should include your pets.

I spent as much time as possible anywhere but home. I basically lived at the public library. The librarian, Mrs. Chen, noticed. She never asked personal questions. Never made me feel like a problem. She just made sure I always had a quiet place to sit and that I had books to read. Sometimes she’d leave snacks on the table where I was sitting. One afternoon, I was writing in my notebook when Mrs. Chen walked over. “Do you like writing?” she asked. I nodded, closing the cover. Instead of asking to see it, she simply smiled. “You seem to enjoy it,” she said softly. “Keep at it.” After that, she would occasionally leave a blank (空白的) notebook on my table with a simple note: “For your stories.” Other times, she’d recommend books she thought I might enjoy. She always quietly let me know she noticed. Years later, I left my hometown for college and eventually became a writer. Through all those years, I never forgot Mrs. Chen. One afternoon, I sat down and wrote her a letter, telling her everything — how her quiet faith saved me; how I became a writer because of her. I mailed it, unsure if she’d even remember me. Weeks passed. I didn’t expect a reply, but I found myself hoping. Then one day, an invitation arrived: my first book event, back in my hometown. 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。 That day, after the event, I went to the library to visit Mrs. Chen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I turned to Mrs. Chen and said, “What if I started a free writing workshop here — in my old place?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
