It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A．It offered few job opportunities. B．It lacked modern entertainment. C．It stuck to values he disagreed with. D．It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A．Rich in possibilities. B．Socially diverse. C．Filled with challenges. D．Financially stressful. 26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A．It remains stable and strong. B．It is influenced by public opinions. C．It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D．It is shaped by his childhood experience. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Sea in Memory B．Four Years Up North C．The Hometown Out of Reach D．A Growing Place, a Growing Me C Online shopping offers tremendous convenience but also an overwhelming number of options. To navigate these choices, many of us rely on online reviews and ratings, believing they provide reliable information about products. But is this trust justified? Bart de Langhe, a behavioral scientist and marketing professor at ESADE in Barcelona, Spain, faced this question when shopping for a car seat for his newborn son. Confronted with a choice between a $300 car seat from a well-known brand and a $50 car seat from an unknown brand, he turned to online reviews. The positive reviews for the $300 car seat convinced him to buy it. Later, he discovered that Consumer Reports rated the $50 car seat higher in crash protection and ease of use than the $300 one. Curious, de Langhe teamed up with colleagues at the University of Colorado in Boulder to compare online reviews with performance reviews. They did this for 1,272 products in 120 categories — including car seats, bike helmets, blood pressure monitors, headphones, sunscreen and smoke alarms — which could be objectively assessed. Their study, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, found a very weak link between positive online reviews and actual product performance. As de Langhe explained in Science Daily, “The likelihood that an item with a higher user rating performs objectively better than an item with a lower user rating is only 57 percent. A correspondence of 50 percent would be random, so user ratings provide very little insight about objective product performance.” He further elaborated in a TEDxESADE Talk that many high-rated products perform poorly and vice versa. This distinction is partly due to fake reviews and the influence of brand reputation, packaging and price on user opinions. Only a small group of consumers — the ones holding the most extreme positive and negative opinions — tend to leave reviews. This is why we often see a lot of 1-and 5-star reviews on products. De Langhe recommends relying less on the recommendations of other consumers. This doesn’t mean we should stop reading reviews altogether, but we should avoid stressing over minor rating differences and feel less compelled to read every review before making a purchase. 28. What motivated de Langhe to research the reliability of online reviews? A. His interest in consumer psychology. B. His doubt about certain famous brands. C. His cooperation with Consumer Reports. D. His own frustrating shopping experience. 29. What did the study reveal about online reviews? A. They were definitely objective. B. They barely reflected product quality. C. They mostly featured neutral opinions. D. They were heavily influenced by companies. 30. Why do online comments fail to present a full picture? A. False comments are posted by some sellers. B. Brand reputation has little impact on user ratings. C. Most people don't care about product performance. D. Buyers with extreme views are more likely to leave reviews. 31. According to the last paragraph, what is de Langhe's attitude towards online reviews? A. Cautiously objective. B. Completely critical. C. Totally indifferent. D. Unconditionally supportive. D When acoustic (声音的) ecologist Marcus Maeder first placed a listening device in the soil, he was unprepared for what he heard. All sorts of strange sounds flooded his headphones, revealing a dynamic world hidden beneath the seemingly quiet ground. Ecologists have long known that soil is home to vast biodiversity. In just a single cup of dirt, researchers have counted up to 100 million life forms, ranging from tiny bacteria to larger insects and earthworms. These underground creatures play a vital role in cycling nutrients and supporting life on Earth. Now, in a relatively new scientific field, known as soil bioacoustics, a growing number of biologists are collecting underground noises to open a window into this complex and mysterious world. They’ve found that something as simple as a metal nail pushed into the dirt can become a sort of listening post if equipped with the right sensors. The acoustic data helps scientists answer fundamental questions, like how creatures communicate or when plants grow their roots. Beyond basic research, underground acoustics could also help us take better care of the environment and detect pests (害虫) like root-feeding insects, which cause billions of dollars in damage annually. By identifying the distinctive sounds of these pests, scientists hope to develop more eco-friendly strategies that reduce the need for widespread chemical use. However, scientists are also recording less welcome sounds: human-made noises, such as construction or traffic, are detectable underground. More concerning is the finding that in intensively farmed areas, the natural sounds of soil life are fading, indicating a worrying decline in biodiversity. To help more people realize what we’re in danger of losing, Maeder has started a citizen science project that lends people in Switzerland acoustic sensors to listen for underground activities themselves. The recordings are being gathered into a national library of soil sounds with the hope of raising awareness. Demand so far is high, Maeder says. “The sensors are always booked.” 32. What is the main focus of soil bioacoustics? A. Studying underground life. B. Tracking plant growth. C. Monitoring noise pollution. D. Capturing natural sounds. 33. What is a practical application of soil bioacoustics according to the text? A. Boosting farm output. B. Enabling targeted pest control. C. Improving traditional farming. D. Eliminating the need for chemical use. 34. What does the high demand for sensors in Maeder’s project suggest? A. Public interest in soil ecology. B. Severe decline in soil health. C. Easy access to monitoring tools. D. Need to increase project funding. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Soil Is No Longer Silent? B. Uncovering an Underground World C. How Human Noise Affects Biodiversity? D. Listening to the Hidden Sounds of Soil 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all experience moments like this: a friend doesn’t reply to your message, or someone walks right past you without noticing. Most people move on quickly, but for those who are sensitive to rejection, these small moments feel heavy. __36__ Rejection sensitivity means the tendency to anxiously expect that others will refuse or reject you, even when there is no real sign of it. People who think this way pay too much attention to others’ words, tone, or silence. A late reply can feel like “They don’t like me,” and a serious face may seem like “They’re upset with me.” Because of this fear, they try to protect themselves by avoiding eye contact keeping quiet, or pulling away. __37__ — sometimes creating the very rejection they were afraid of. The good news is that gentle, intentional habits can help. Challenge your first reaction. Feelings are not facts. When your mind jumps to the worst explanation, pause and ask: What else could this mean? __38__ Try writing down at least two neutral (中性的) possibilities before accepting the negative one. This simple practice helps calm emotional overreaction. Express your needs openly. People with rejection sensitivity often hide their feelings, hoping others will understand without being told. __39__ Try speaking clearly and kindly: “When I didn’t hear back, I felt a bit unsure. Could we talk later?” Honest communication builds trust and reduces unnecessary worry. __40__. If someone reaches out to you, offer a small sign of openness — a smile, a short reply, or a simple “thank you.” These small gestures show that you welcome connection. Over time, they help soften the habit of pulling away. A. Pursue stronger bonds with others. B. But silence easily causes confusion. C. Respond warmly when others show care. D. Sadly, this distance can make them seem cold or unfriendly. E. They are always searching for ways to relieve their anxiety. F. Perhaps the other person is busy, stressed, or simply distracted. G. They may immediately assume something is wrong with them. 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入空白处的最佳选项。 Something magical is happening this summer: a group of high school students from the Golden Connections Club gather at Olive Community Services and learn some new skills — not from videos, but from real grandmas. The concept is quite simple: seniors teach kids 41 skills that once filled every household: sewing, ironing, cooking, and more. For Leena Albinali, a high school student and the club’s founder, this isn’t just an activity. It’s a 42 to bridge the gap between generations, while giving her peers (同龄人) a chance to 43 with elders, twice a week, in a(n) 44 way. “There is so much wisdom that lives in our 45 ,” she says. “So when I 46 many teens had never learned how to sew on a button or iron a shirt, I saw a (n) 47 : what if seniors could teach them? And so I recruited (招募) some peers to 48 the new group.” Every week involves both a craft and 49 session. One day, kids practice stitching (针脚). Another day, they learn how to make apple pies. There is laughter and burnt cookies, 50 buttons, spilled flour..., but it’s not about 51 . It’s about connection — where generations meet to share the 52 of creating something with their hands. This activity is part of Olive Community Services’ ongoing 53 to reduce senior loneliness. And now they’re also 54 youth. As one camper said, “Together, we’re not just 55 traditions — we’re creating new ones.” 41．A．life-saving B．decision-making C．interpersonal D．practical 42．A．compromise B．struggle C．right D．mission 43．A．exercise B．connect C．match D．compete 44．A．hands-on B．off-site C．old-fashioned D．self-educated 45．A．seniors B．peers C．families D．teens 46．A．remembered B．assumed C．realized D．admitted 47．A．request B．challenge C．opportunity D．advantage 48．A．join B．assess C．advertise D．train 49．A．sewing B．fitness C．cooking D．designing 50．A．fixed B．misplaced C．decorated D．worn 51．A．creativity B．enthusiasm C．wisdom D．perfection 52．A．joy B．memory C．truth D．burden 53．A．learning B．guidance C．dream D．effort 54．A．entertaining B．empowering C．comforting D．reuniting 55．A．figuring out B．passing down C．reflecting on D．adapting to 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。 As China's Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2009 emerges as a new leading consumer group, it is also driving manufacturers toward a shift __56__ reflects both emotional needs and rising cultural confidence.One dominant trend is guochao, or national trend, __57__ (refer) to domestic designs inspired by traditional Chinese culture.It covers a wide range of products like toys, food, decorations,beverages and daily _58___ (necessity). __59__ is particularly evident is the booming collectible toy market.

Tom, an enthusiastic photographer, was also a bit of a loner who often preferred exploring on his own. He had taken a basic survival skills course but had never truly faced a real-life emergency. As the group stepped into the thick underbrush, the air was heavy with the scent of damp moss and wildflowers, and Tom couldn’t contain his excitement. Mr. Wilson, an experienced outdoors teacher, paused every few minutes to warn everybody to stay close. He took out a bundle (捆) of small red flags. Every 20 steps, he tied a flag to a low-hanging branch or a sturdy fern (蕨), saying, “The flags, along with the flowing stream nearby, are your lifelines. They’ll boost your chance of survival.” Most students watched carefully, but Tom, half nodded absentmindedly, half distracted by the singing birds, gradually falling behind the group. A moment later, Tom was photographing the mouth-watering Acai berries (巴西莓) covering the mountain forests when he heard the rolling thunder. Looking around, he realized there was no one around — he was all alone. Quickly Tom stuffed his camera into his bag and tried to catch up with others. But the sky darkened suddenly and a fierce wind tore through the trees with the heavy rain pouring down. His phone already low on battery died completely because he pressed it in a wild manner to call for help. Tom struggled through the mud, his sneakers covered with dirt and water dropping from his hair. As night fell, the downpour stopped but the temperature dropped below freezing, and the cold bit through his clothes. Heart pounding heavily, Tom was in a complete panic, with an overwhelming longing to go home. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1：Hungry and exhausted, Tom felt his strength slipping away. Paragraph2：After hours of wandering and searching, Tom heard shouts in the distance. 第1页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
