And the final scene was very powerful. W: I’m surprised they chose such young actors for the main roles. The characters are meant to be middle-aged. M: Well, I didn’t have any issues with that. The performers all did a good job. Maybe if schools showed film adaptations of classic novels, more students would enjoy literature. W: But there’s something unique about great literature that you can’t get from films. It’s better to bring novels to life through class discussions. M: I guess! 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 13.

I’ve come to talk to you today about a really successful product: coffee! As some stories say, coffee was first consumed in Ethiopia, in Africa, dating back to the fifteenth century. However, a popular tale identifies the ninth century as when coffee was originally consumed as a drink. By the seventeenth century, it was enjoyed worldwide. The tale goes that an Ethiopian farmer, Kaldi, spotted that his goats became energetic and didn’t sleep once they’d consumed the red coffee beans. Then he took some of the beans with him. In those days, there were no professional chefs, so instead he gave them to a local leader, who initially rejected them and threw them onto a fire. The smell of the roasting beans changed his mind, leading him to create a tasty hot drink. Coffee quickly spread to Yemen in southern Arabia. Not only was it enjoyed in people’s homes, but also in the world’s earliest coffee shops. As the popularity grew in Europe, coffee shops appeared there too and became centers of social activity. Later, the British took coffee to North America. 第二部分 阅读（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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Our photography exhibition is back for its sixtieth year to reveal more of nature’ s stories.

He thought the team could make something to help hard-of- hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available. Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the “Chief Vibrational Officer” of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic (触觉的) suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle. When you wear the suit, it’s surprising how it feels. The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. “What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was captioned on a screen on the stage. The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. “It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.” 24. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems? A. The way they enjoyed music. B. The attitude they held to life. C. The love they had for balloons. D. The frequency they vibrated fingers. 25. Why did the team’s initial attempt fail? A. The motors were the same. B. The vibrations lacked variety. C. The motors hardly worked. D. The vibrations were irregular. 26. What did the DJ do? A. He interpreted the sign language. B. He captioned the music on stage. C. He selected suits for the attendees. D. He helped people feel the music. 27. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit? A. Comforting. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Encouraging. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐家兼戏剧艺术家Belquer和其团队利用现有技术制作一个套装来帮助听力障碍人士更好地享受现场音乐。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard- of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts.(当Belquer第一次加入一个为聋哑人和听力障碍人士提供更好的现场音乐体验的团队时，他对他们如何想出享受音乐会的变通方法感到震惊。)”可知，Belquer对听障人士想出的享受音乐的方法而震惊，故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work. The vibrations were all the same. (他的团队首先将不同的手机振动电机绑在身体上，但这并不太奏效。振动都是一样的。)”可知，他的团队最初的尝试失败了，这是因为震动都是一样的，即缺乏多样性，故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. “What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ.(振动由触觉DJ混合，他控制着套装中感觉的位置、频率和强度，就像音乐DJ以巧妙的方式混合声音一样。“我们正在做的就是选择并混合我们想要的东西，并将其发送到身体的不同部位，”DJ 说)”可知，DJ选择并混合想要的东西，并将其发送到身体的不同部位，以此来帮助人们感受音乐。由此可推知，DJ帮助人们感受音乐，故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Lily Lipman所说的话“It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.(这很酷，因为我永远不确定我是否听到了其他人听到的声音，所以让音乐进入我的身体真是太棒了。)”可推知，Lily Lipman对这个套装是满意的，故选C。 C Some ants have figured out how to avoid getting lost: build taller anthills, according to a recent study. Desert ants living in the hot, flat salt pans of Tunisia spend their days looking for food and reach as far as 1.1 kilometers from their nests. To find their way home, desert ants use a navigation system, relying on the sun’s position and counting their steps to track their location relative to their nest. But this system becomes increasingly unreliable as the distance from the nest increases. “We realized that, whenever the ants in salt pans came closer to their nest, they suddenly pinpointed the nest hill from several meters distance,” says Markus Knaden, a researcher at Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology. “This made us think that the hill serves as a nest-defining landmark.” So Knaden and colleagues captured ants from nests in the middle of salt pans and from along their shorelines. Only salt-pan nests had distinct hills, up to 40 centimeters tall, whereas the hills on shoreline nests were lower or barely noticeable. Next, the team removed any hills and placed the captured insects some distance away from their nests. Salt-pan ants struggled more than shore ants to find homes. Shore ants relied on the shoreline for guidance and weren’t affected by the hill removal, the researchers concluded. The team further conducted another study to see if desert ants were deliberately building a taller hill when their surroundings lacked any visible landmarks. So, the researchers removed the hills of 16 salt-pan nests and installed (安装) two 50-centimeter-tall blocks near eight of them. The other eight nests were left without any artificial visual aid. After three days, the researchers found that seven ants from the unaided nests had rebuilt their hills. But only two ants from the nests with man-made blocks nearby had bothered to rebuild. “It implies that ants regularly assess the complexity of their environment and change their decisions based on their conclusion,” says ecologist Judith Bronstein of the University of Arizona. 28. What aspect of ants is the recent study mainly about? A. Challenges of survival. B. Landmarks of habitats. C. Intelligence of navigation. D. Comparison of varieties. 29. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Explored. B. Recognized. C. Climbed. D. Crossed. 30. Why did researchers set shoreline ants in the experiment? A. To observe different ants’ reactions. B. To prove impacts of various habitats. C. To disturb desert ants’ navigation system. D. To test anthills’ functions and significance. 31. What conclusion about desert ants can be drawn from the follow-up study? A. Evaluate and make changes. B. Visual aid is a must. C. Cooperation brings victory. D. No man-made blocks are used. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了沙漠蚂蚁的“智能化导航”。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Some ants have figured out how to avoid getting lost: build taller anthills, according to a recent study.(一些蚂蚁已经想出了如何避免迷路：根据最近的一项研究，就是建造更高的蚁丘)”以及第二、三段中的内容可知，研究发现沙漠蚂蚁利用太阳的位置和计算步数来确定自己相对于巢穴的位置，并且当它们离巢越远时，这种导航系统越不可靠。研究者进一步观察了沙漠盐田和海岸线地区的蚂蚁巢穴，发现只有沙漠盐田的巢穴上方有明显的小丘，而海岸线地区的巢穴则较低或几乎不可见。由此可知，这项研究主要关于蚂蚁导航的智能化。故选 C。 2.词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“This made us think that the hill serves as a nest-defining landmark.(这让我们觉得这座山就像是一个定义巢穴的地标)”可知，研究者认为这个小丘是沙漠蚂蚁定位巢穴的地标,它们在接近巢穴时会一下子在几米远的距离外辨认出巢穴小丘。由此可知，划线词pinpointed的意思是“辨认”。故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，研究者对沙漠蚂蚁和海岸线蚂蚁进行了实验，目的是比较它们在失去小丘后找回巢穴的情况。因此，研究者在实验中设置海岸线蚂蚁是为了观察不同蚂蚁的反应和表现。故选A。 4. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“After three days, the researchers found that seven ants from the unaided nests had rebuilt their hills. But only two ants from the nests with man-made blocks nearby had bothered to rebuild.(三天后，研究人员发现，无人帮助的蚂蚁巢中有七只蚂蚁重建了它们的丘陵。但是只有两只来自附近有人造障碍的蚂蚁巢中的蚂蚁费心去重建)”以及最后一段中的“It implies that ants regularly assess the complexity of their environment and change their decisions based on their conclusion.(这意味着蚂蚁定期评估其环境的复杂性，并根据他们的结论改变他们的决定)”可知，研究者进行了一项后续研究，发现当人为移除沙漠蚂蚁的盐田巢穴的小丘时，一些蚂蚁重新建造了它们的小丘，而有一些蚂蚁利用人为搭建的地标建巢。由此可知，蚂蚁会定期评估周围环境的复杂性，并根据自己的结论改变决策。故选A。 D “How we wait tells us something about who we are,” Christine Rosen writes. The lives of human beings are marked by short periods of waiting: for the microwave to ding, for traffic to start moving, for the post office to open, for a flatmate to finally free up the bathroom. Once upon a time these moments were used for polite chatter, quiet reflection or staring into the middle distance. Nowadays, such periods of necessary patience have been stopped. Instead, we browse (浏览) on our phone or stuff Airpods into our ears. The ever-increasing influence of technology on all corners of our daily lives is what Rosen warns about in The Extinction of Experience. According to Rosen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the modern habit of filling with screentime even brief periods in our schedules is an important symptom of direct experience disappearing. The problem, Rosen says, is not simply that these technologies exist. It’s that we assume they only bring improvement, ignoring how they also damage once commonplace skills. The average American can type 40 words a minute but write only 13 words by hand in the same time. And youngsters don’t knock on arriving at a friend’s house, they send an instant message: “I’m here. ” The deep integration of newly invented devices into our lives has many obvious benefits, like staying in touch with a family member overseas. But Rosen also insists we are approaching a scary new reality: people are picking digital communication over offline interaction, asking AI for advice instead of turning to their nearest and dearest. The question becomes: how do we restore a healthier balance? One with more feeling and less clicking. What’s her suggestion, then? It’s not clear. Maintain a critical eye toward innovative devices. And, more trickily, do your best to escape the cycle of “constant self-documentation”. Rosen gives a remarkable insight into this modern problems, illustrating with style how convenience and efficiency have become the enemies of the good life. But she’s right that it’s the quiet human virtues we’ll miss most: patience, closeness, wonder, self-reflection. . . good old comfortable ignorance. If this book doesn’t scare you into switching your phone off, I don’t know what will. 32. What does Rosen warn about in her book? A. The loss of direct experience. B. The decline of typing skills. C. The rise of digital communication. D. The convenience of modern technology. 33. What impact does modern technology have? A. It favors convenience over human virtues. B. It brings mixed effects to social interactions. C. It speeds up the decline of handwritten culture. D. It weakens family bonds across long distances. 34. What can be inferred about Rosen’s solution to the problem? A. It demands constant self-documentation. B. It encourages complete digital disconnection. C. It remains unclear in practical application. D. It focuses on rebuilding patience through reflection. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tech Reliance: A Threat to Society. B. Digital Age: Rebuilding Lost Skills. C. Screens vs. Socialization: A Modern Conflict. D. The Convenience Trap: Technology’s Hidden Costs. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Rosen警告技术对生活影响，指出其带来的便利与隐藏代价。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to Rosen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the modern habit of filling with screentime even brief periods in our schedules is an important symptom of direct experience disappearing. (根据美国企业研究所高级研究员罗森的说法，现代人即使在日程安排中很短的时间里也会花大量时间看屏幕，这是直接体验消失的一个重要症状。)”可知，Rosen在她的书中警告直接体验的消失。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The deep integration of newly invented devices into our lives has many obvious benefits, like staying in touch with a family member overseas. But Rosen also insists we are approaching a scary new reality: people are picking digital communication over offline interaction, asking AI for advice instead of turning to their nearest and dearest. (新发明的设备深入融入我们的生活带来了许多明显的好处，比如与海外的家人保持联系。但罗森也坚持认为，我们正接近一个可怕的新现实：人们选择数字通信而不是线下互动，向人工智能寻求建议，而不是向最近的亲人求助。)”可知，现代技术给社会互动带来了好坏两方面的影响。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“What’s her suggestion, then? It’s not clear. (那么，她的建议是什么呢？目前还不清楚。)”可知，Rosen的解决方案在实际应用中尚不明确。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Rosen gives a remarkable insight into this modern problems, illustrating with style how convenience and efficiency have become the enemies of the good life. (罗森对这一现代问题给出了深刻的见解，她用优雅的方式说明了便利和效率是如何成为美好生活的敌人的。)”可知，文章主要说明了Rosen警告技术对生活影响，指出其带来的便利与隐藏代价。可知，D选项“The Convenience Trap: Technology’s Hidden Costs (便利陷阱：技术的隐藏代价)”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 A Rain Garden A garden can be a place for family recreation or well-being of us, but the monsoons (季风) can turn your backyard into a grassy spot. ___36___.

(此外，它们抢走了你的花园保持繁茂所需的营养。)”说明了草的坏处，因此空格处应该是关于草的介绍，C选项“Weeds typically crop up after a heavy rainfall (野草通常在大雨后长出来)”，说明了野草在大雨后长出来，是关于草的介绍，承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“This is the season to plant beauties such as jasmine, bird of paradise and Mountain Roscoe Lily.

Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone.

B When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts. “What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations (震动) through their fingers,” Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of- hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available. Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the “Chief Vibrational Officer” of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic (触觉的) suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle. When you wear the suit, it’s surprising how it feels. The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. “What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was captioned on a screen on the stage. The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. “It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.” 24. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems? A. The way they enjoyed music. B. The attitude they held to life. C. The love they had for balloons. D. The frequency they vibrated fingers. 25. Why did the team’s initial attempt fail? A. The motors were the same. B. The vibrations lacked variety. C. The motors hardly worked. D. The vibrations were irregular. 26. What did the DJ do? A. He interpreted the sign language. B. He captioned the music on stage. C. He selected suits for the attendees. D. He helped people feel the music. 27. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit? A. Comforting. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Encouraging. C Some ants have figured out how to avoid getting lost: build taller anthills, according to a recent study. Desert ants living in the hot, flat salt pans of Tunisia spend their days looking for food and reach as far as 1.1 kilometers from their nests. To find their way home, desert ants use a navigation system, relying on the sun’s position and counting their steps to track their location relative to their nest. But this system becomes increasingly unreliable as the distance from the nest increases. “We realized that, whenever the ants in salt pans came closer to their nest, they suddenly pinpointed the nest hill from several meters distance,” says Markus Knaden, a researcher at Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology. “This made us think that the hill serves as a nest-defining landmark.” So Knaden and colleagues captured ants from nests in the middle of salt pans and from along their shorelines. Only salt-pan nests had distinct hills, up to 40 centimeters tall, whereas the hills on shoreline nests were lower or barely noticeable. Next, the team removed any hills and placed the captured insects some distance away from their nests. Salt-pan ants struggled more than shore ants to find homes. Shore ants relied on the shoreline for guidance and weren’t affected by the hill removal, the researchers concluded. The team further conducted another study to see if desert ants were deliberately building a taller hill when their surroundings lacked any visible landmarks. So, the researchers removed the hills of 16 salt-pan nests and installed (安装) two 50-centimeter-tall blocks near eight of them. The other eight nests were left without any artificial visual aid. After three days, the researchers found that seven ants from the unaided nests had rebuilt their hills. But only two ants from the nests with man-made blocks nearby had bothered to rebuild. “It implies that ants regularly assess the complexity of their environment and change their decisions based on their conclusion,” says ecologist Judith Bronstein of the University of Arizona. 28. What aspect of ants is the recent study mainly about? A. Challenges of survival. B. Landmarks of habitats. C. Intelligence of navigation. D. Comparison of varieties. 29. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Explored. B. Recognized. C. Climbed. D. Crossed. 30. Why did researchers set shoreline ants in the experiment? A. To observe different ants’ reactions. B. To prove impacts of various habitats. C. To disturb desert ants’ navigation system. D. To test anthills’ functions and significance. 31. What conclusion about desert ants can be drawn from the follow-up study? A. Evaluate and make changes. B. Visual aid is a must. C. Cooperation brings victory. D. No man-made blocks are used. D “How we wait tells us something about who we are,” Christine Rosen writes. The lives of human beings are marked by short periods of waiting: for the microwave to ding, for traffic to start moving, for the post office to open, for a flatmate to finally free up the bathroom. Once upon a time these moments were used for polite chatter, quiet reflection or staring into the middle distance. Nowadays, such periods of necessary patience have been stopped. Instead, we browse (浏览) on our phone or stuff Airpods into our ears. The ever-increasing influence of technology on all corners of our daily lives is what Rosen warns about in The Extinction of Experience. According to Rosen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the modern habit of filling with screentime even brief periods in our schedules is an important symptom of direct experience disappearing. The problem, Rosen says, is not simply that these technologies exist. It’s that we assume they only bring improvement, ignoring how they also damage once commonplace skills. The average American can type 40 words a minute but write only 13 words by hand in the same time. And youngsters don’t knock on arriving at a friend’s house, they send an instant message: “I’m here. ” The deep integration of newly invented devices into our lives has many obvious benefits, like staying in touch with a family member overseas. But Rosen also insists we are approaching a scary new reality: people are picking digital communication over offline interaction, asking AI for advice instead of turning to their nearest and dearest. The question becomes: how do we restore a healthier balance? One with more feeling and less clicking. What’s her suggestion, then? It’s not clear. Maintain a critical eye toward innovative devices. And, more trickily, do your best to escape the cycle of “constant self-documentation”. Rosen gives a remarkable insight into this modern problems, illustrating with style how convenience and efficiency have become the enemies of the good life. But she’s right that it’s the quiet human virtues we’ll miss most: patience, closeness, wonder, self-reflection. . . good old comfortable ignorance. If this book doesn’t scare you into switching your phone off, I don’t know what will. 32. What does Rosen warn about in her book? A. The loss of direct experience. B. The decline of typing skills. C. The rise of digital communication. D. The convenience of modern technology. 33. What impact does modern technology have? A. It favors convenience over human virtues. B. It brings mixed effects to social interactions. C. It speeds up the decline of handwritten culture. D. It weakens family bonds across long distances. 34. What can be inferred about Rosen’s solution to the problem? A. It demands constant self-documentation. B. It encourages complete digital disconnection. C. It remains unclear in practical application. D. It focuses on rebuilding patience through reflection. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tech Reliance: A Threat to Society. B. Digital Age: Rebuilding Lost Skills. C. Screens vs. Socialization: A Modern Conflict. D. The Convenience Trap: Technology’s Hidden Costs. 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。 A Rain Garden A garden can be a place for family recreation or well-being of us, but the monsoons (季风) can turn your backyard into a grassy spot. ___36___.

As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith. Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own.
