A
Ireland’s a great place for a holiday: There’s beautiful scenery, charming towns and the people are wonderful. But it’s also a great place if you’re planning to study abroad.
Talkers
The best thing about studying in Ireland is that you’ll have so many opportunities to practise English. The Irish are an expressive nation, and just love chatting. In fact, they’re possibly the most sociable people in the world and just love talking to strangers and foreigners. You’ll soon feel welcome, and if you ever feel like having a chat, just run down to a local place serving drinks and you’ll find someone who’s willing to talk to you.
Writers
Ever since English became the most common language, the Irish have contributed to it, improved it, enriched it and given it something special. The Irish produced many world-class English-language writers, which is incredible when you consider how small Ireland’s population is (about 4 million people). Many of the famous writers and novelists who you probably thought were “English”, were in fact Irish, such as George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, and Oscar Wilde.
Beauty
You’ll also be amazed by Ireland’s natural beauty. There are charming towns and picturesque villages with welcoming locals. In fact, Ireland is full of small towns with a lively social life. Even the capital city, Dublin, only has a million people living there. Ireland is also a country with a lot of history, and a well-defined culture. You can find out all about this in the many museums, libraries, art galleries, theatres and music festivals.
On top of that, you can do just about any sport you like, whether it’s golf, riding, sailing, walking, fishing or anything else.
1. Where is it recommended to begin a chat with strangers?
A. In a local museum. B. In a local bar.
C. In a small town. D. In a music festival.
2. How have the Irish enriched the English language?
A. By producing famous writers. B. By hosting literary exchange activities.
C. By teaching English to foreign students. D. By making English the most common language.
3. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why Ireland is so rich in culture. B. How the Irish have improved their lives.
C. How the Irish have fun with sports and friends. D. Why Ireland is a good choice for overseas students.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D

It was 2016 and Emma worked as a communication specialist at a school for children with autism(自闭症). A mum came to her and explained the reason behind her tears. “My son had a breakdown that morning and beat my baby hard. I was just stressed.” Sadly, Emma had met many heartbroken parents who felt disconnected. “No one I know understands what I’m going through,” many told her. Some said they had little time to socialise, others explained family and friends had stopped inviting them to events because they were thought too busy. Having a disabled child was often seen as shameful, which left parents feeling lonely and disconnected. Emma always offered a caring ear but wished she could do more to help.
Reading emotions was difficult for Emma, but she learned to observe others carefully. She wanted to do more than just listen. “I want to connect parents of kids with disabilities,” she told her husband Andrius, an IT developer. “Why don’t we build an app?” he suggested.
Over the next two years, they designed Kindship. It was designed as a safe, judgment-free space where parents of children with disabilities could share experiences, exchange practical advice, and support one another. By 2018, the app rolled out. Members soon reported feeling less alone. “I met my best friend here,” one mother said. “It’s so refreshing chatting with mums who really get it,” others commented. Some even arranged local meetups through the platform.
In 2022, with government support, they enlarged Kindship with a bigger team. Emma then contacted parents of children with other disabilities and asked them to help extend the operations to reach more parents across Australia. Today, Emma is a mother of two and leads a team at Kindship. “I’m determined to keep helping children with disabilities and their parents get the support they deserve,” she says.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly describe?
A. Emma’s working conditions. B. The challenges that Emma overcame.
C. The difficulties that autistic children met. D. The annoyance faced by parents of autistic kids.
5. What did Emma do to help the mums with disabled children?
A. Set up an organization. B. Provide some online courses.
C. Develop an app with her husband. D. Treat their children with specific measures.
6. How do parents benefit from Kindship?
A. By obtaining funding support. B. By gaining popularity through chatting.
C. By improving their children’s behaviors. D. By getting emotional relief from connection.
7. What can we learn from Emma’s experience?
A. A good beginning is half done. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述Emma关注残障儿童家长的困境,联合丈夫开发互助平台帮助他们获得支持的故事。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Having a disabled child was often seen as shameful, which left parents feeling lonely and disconnected.(养育残疾儿童常被视为耻辱,这导致家长们感到孤独且与外界隔绝)”可知,本段主要描述自闭症儿童家长面临的困扰。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I want to connect parents of kids with disabilities,” she told her husband Andrius, an IT developer. “Why don’t we build an app?” he suggested.(“我想把残疾儿童的家长们联系起来,”她告诉身为IT开发人员的丈夫安德留斯。“我们为什么不开发一款应用程序呢?”他提议道)”及第三段首句“Over the next two years, they designed Kindship.(在接下来的两年里,他们设计了Kindship)”可知,Emma和丈夫共同开发了这款应用来帮助家长。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was designed as a safe, judgment-free space where parents of children with disabilities could share experiences, exchange practical advice, and support one another.(它被打造为一个安全、无评判的空间,残障儿童家长可以在这里分享经历、交流实用建议、互相支持)”可知,家长们通过彼此联结获得了情绪上的舒缓。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,Emma针对家长“无人理解”“倍感孤独”的困境,创建应用促进交流互助,印证了“烦恼说出来就能减半”的道理,对应“A trouble shared is a trouble halved”。
C
Getting wet by a water gun while on vacation might sound like typical holiday fun for the tourists. Less so when it is from an angry native shouting: “Tourists go home!” That less than friendly greeting was among the protests (抗议) which took place across several tourist hot spots this summer, as local people in destinations released their anger at the impact mass tourism was having on their communities.
But there’s another model of tourism out there, one which gives a very welcome shot in the arm. Take the ancient country houses of the Minho region for example. Known as Solares, these were also being deserted by families unable to afford their upkeep, until an enterprising (有创业精神的) group of local owners came together to promote them as very individual homestays. The result? Grand houses which had been a key part of the local economy are restored, and jobs and opportunities are created in a landscape which was starved of both.
The Solares are among the destinations recommended by Inntravel — a tour company which, as its sustainability lead Ruth Woodall puts it, enables people to “take the road less travelled — it’s the polar opposite of mass tourism”. Rather than a tour group, the typical size of an Inntravel party is two, usually a couple which lends itself to homestays and small hotels or guest houses. And with many customers preferring self-guided walking holidays, which means there’s plenty of opportunity for them to stay in communities that are, in more ways than one, “far from the madding crowd”. That in turn, says Woodall, helps the company meet one of its three key sustainability goals: engaging and supporting local communities. The other two are dealing with the climate crisis-by, for example, promoting rail travel as one of the features of a holiday instead of arriving by air — and restoring nature. And these can often go together.
Holidays like this are rooted in the landscape. It’s a world where visitors can bring real benefits to communities — and avoid being wet by a water gun. Except, perhaps, in fun.
8. Why did the tourists get wet in several tourist hot spots?
A. They took part in a festival. B. They entertained themselves.
C. They negatively influenced the locals. D. They were caught in summer rainfall.
9. What can we know about Solares?
A. They are where the locals live. B. They are protected as cultural sites.
C. They were built by an enterprising group. D. They were once in disrepair for lack of money.
10. Which of the following is a feature of an Inntravel holiday?
A. People travel in large organized groups. B. People follow professional tour guides.
C. People arrive at destinations by train only. D. People travel without harming the environment.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare different travel companies. B. To introduce a different form of tourism.
C. To explain why local people dislike visitors. D. To criticize the bad manners of modern tourists.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了大众旅游扰乱当地生活引发居民抗议。文中介绍小众可持续旅行模式,改造老宅为民宿,主推小型自助徒步,兼顾社区发展、环保与自然修复。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“That less than friendly greeting was among the protests (抗议) which took place across several tourist hot spots this summer, as local people in destinations released their anger at the impact mass tourism was having on their communities.(今年夏天,多个旅游热点地区爆发了抗议活动,当地居民对大规模旅游业给社区带来的影响表达了愤怒,其中就包括那种不太友好的问候)”可知,第一段描述游客在多个旅游热点被喷湿,是因为他们对当地人造成了不良影响。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Known as Solares, these were also being deserted by families unable to afford their upkeep, until an enterprising (有创业精神的) group of local owners came together to promote them as very individual homestays.(这些被称为索拉雷斯的房屋,也曾被无力负担维护费用的家庭所遗弃,直到一群富有创业精神的当地业主联合起来,将其推广为独具特色的家庭民宿)”可知,索拉雷斯曾因缺乏资金而破败不堪。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“That in turn, says Woodall, helps the company meet one of its three key sustainability goals: engaging and supporting local communities. The other two are dealing with the climate crisis-by, for example, promoting rail travel as one of the features of a holiday instead of arriving by air — and restoring nature.(伍达尔表示,这有助于公司实现其三大关键可持续发展目标之一:联动并支持当地社区。另外两个目标是应对气候危机——例如,将乘坐火车作为度假的一部分,而非乘飞机出行——以及恢复自然环境)”可知,人们旅行时不会损害环境是Inntravel假期的特点。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Known as Solares, these were also being deserted by families unable to afford their upkeep, until an enterprising (有创业精神的) group of local owners came together to promote them as very individual homestays. The result? Grand houses which had been a key part of the local economy are restored, and jobs and opportunities are created in a landscape which was starved of both.(这些被称为索拉雷斯的房屋,也曾被无力负担维护费用的家庭逐渐遗弃。直到一群富有创业精神的当地业主联合起来,将其改造成独具特色的民宿。结果是,曾经是当地经济重要支柱的宏伟宅邸得以修复,在此前极度缺乏就业岗位与机遇的地区创造了这两者)”结合文章主要说明了大众旅游扰乱当地生活引发居民抗议。文中介绍小众可持续旅行模式,改造老宅为民宿,主推小型自助徒步,兼顾社区发展、环保与自然修复。可知,文章的目的是介绍一种不同的旅游形式。
D
Obesity (肥胖) spreads “contagiously (传染性的)” through social networks, according to a highly publicised 2007 study, and since then, some researchers have been working to use social networks to solve the obesity problem. A recently published study suggests that this may in fact be possible. MIT researchers discovered that grouping people with similar characteristics into fitness-focused social networks led to more individuals adopting new activities that promote healthier lifestyles.
It is hoped that this study will in time open up new directions of research in the area. Ray Browning, a physiologist at Colorado State University who has studied health interventions (干预) and social networks but was not involved with the study, stated that more thoughtfully designed weight-loss interventions centered on social networks will appear and be more successful.
Browning noted that some people who keep weight loss for a long period also change who they spend their time with. He pointed out that some of these individuals completely change their social network, moving from one to another that includes more healthful behaviors. Changing one’s behaviors may be easier by adding a new individual to one’s group, such as a personal trainer, who can encourage better habits and health-promoting activities.
However, while the study showed some success, Browning pointed out that the results may not apply to everyone. There were relatively fewer obese people in the study than in the general population, and as the sample (样本) was obtained from a fitness group, those involved were already looking for ways to be healthier. Additionally, it remains unclear how other new health behaviors might spread through a group, because keeping a record of what you eat is easier than beginning an intense exercise programme, which requires a lot of effort to stick to.
Browning commented that the study likely represents a best case for behaviour adoption, with many factors working in its favour. Still, he stressed that the study pushes research in the right direction, describing it as a nice way to start the discussion of how to design social network-related interventions.
12. What does the MIT study mainly show?
A. Obesity spreads rapidly online. B. Social networks determine weight.
C. Similar people group together easily. D. Fitness networks promote healthy habits.
13. What is Browning’s suggestion according to paragraph 3?
A. Sticking to one’s social circle. B. Bringing in health-focused people.
C. Avoiding group exercise programs. D. Setting up specific weight-loss goals.
14. What limitation of the study is mentioned?
A. The study period was too short. B. The study method was not systematic.
C. The participants were difficult to track. D. The sample was not representative enough.
15. What is Browning’s attitude to the study?
A. Critical of its practical value. B. Supportive of its research direction.
C. Enthusiastic about its widespread use. D. Reserved due to its insufficient follow-up.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍MIT研究发现健身社交网络可促进健康行为,并探讨其局限与前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“MIT researchers discovered that grouping people with similar characteristics into fitness-focused social networks led to more individuals adopting new activities that promote healthier lifestyles.(麻省理工学院的研究人员发现,将特征相似的人归入以健身为重点的社交网络,会让更多人采纳能促进更健康生活方式的新活动)”可知,该研究表明健身社交网络有助于推广健康习惯。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Changing one’s behaviors may be easier by adding a new individual to one’s group, such as a personal trainer, who can encourage better habits and health-promoting activities.(通过在自己的社交圈中加入新成员,比如私人教练,可能更容易改变自身行为,这类人能够鼓励养成更好的习惯并参与促进健康的活动)”可知,Browning建议引入关注健康的人群。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“There were relatively fewer obese people in the study than in the general population, and as the sample (样本) was obtained from a fitness group, those involved were already looking for ways to be healthier. Additionally, it remains unclear how other new health behaviors might spread through a group, because keeping a record of what you eat is easier than beginning an intense exercise programme, which requires a lot of effort to stick to.(该研究中的肥胖人群占比相对低于普通人群,且由于样本取自健身团体,参与者本身就在寻求更健康的改善方式。此外,其他新型健康行为如何在群体中传播仍不明确,因为记录饮食比开启高强度锻炼计划更容易,而后者需要投入大量精力才能坚持)”可知,研究的样本代表性不足。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段中“Still, he stressed that the study pushes research in the right direction, describing it as a nice way to start the discussion of how to design social network-related interventions.(尽管如此,他强调这项研究推动了该领域朝着正确方向发展,称其为开启‘如何设计社交网络相关干预措施’讨论的良好开端)”可知,Browning对该研究的方向持支持态度。
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 research suggests the body may limit how many calories (热量) you burn during exercise — that is why weight loss is often smaller than people expect.
Most people believe: If we move more, we will burn more calories and weigh less. ____16____ In some studies, exercise burns fewer calories than predicted. Even when people add more exercise such as walking, jogging, and cycling, most of them lose only 3.5 pounds over 6 months.
Part of the reason is that working out can make you hungrier, making it easier to eat back the calories burned. ____17____ In a 2025 study they found people only burned about 1/3 of the extra calories their exercise theoretically demanded. That is, a run that should have burned 500 calories only ended up burning 165 calories. ____18____ It is known as energy compensation (补偿), which is changing an old belief: exercise is a direct engine for weight loss.
The idea of energy compensation appeared after a 2012 study. It found that a hunter-gatherer population in Tanzania burned about the same number of calories as inactive people, although they walked many more miles. This suggests that when people are more active, their bodies may unconsciously reduce energy spent on other daily movements. ____19____ That way, it keeps total daily energy use within narrow limits.
____20____ In follow-up studies, only about half of the participants showed clear signs of compensation. When it did happen, researchers think it came from people becoming more skilled at the exercise itself, with their bodies adapting to do the same work with less energy.
A. So never give up on exercise.
B. In fact, not everyone compensates.
C. That isn’t the case for most people.
D. People might walk slower when tired.
E. Researchers think it came from the exercise itself.
F. But experts try to explain this phenomenon from another aspect.
G. The body seems to save energy elsewhere when you exercise more.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要揭示了人体存在“能量补偿”机制,运动消耗的热量常被身体自动抵消,致使实际减重效果远低于预期。
【16题详解】
上文“Most people believe: If we move more, we will burn more calories and weigh less.(大多数人认为:如果我们多动,就会燃烧更多热量并减轻体重)”提出了大众关于运动减肥的普遍认知。空后“In some studies, exercise burns fewer calories than predicted.(在一些研究中,运动燃烧的热量比预期的要少)”指出了实际情况与预想的差距。空处需承上启下,否定前文的普遍观点。选项C“That isn’t the case for most people.(对大多数人来说,情况并非如此)”直接反驳了前文的错误认知,引出后文的科学研究数据,符合语境。
【17题详解】
上文“Part of the reason is that working out can make you hungrier, making it easier to eat back the calories burned.(部分原因是锻炼会让你更饿,从而更容易把消耗的热量吃回来)”从食欲增加的角度解释了减重困难的原因。空后“In a 2025 study they found people only burned about 1/3 of the extra calories their exercise theoretically demanded. That is, a run that should have burned 500 calories only ended up burning 165 calories.(在2025年的一项研究中,他们发现人们实际仅消耗了理论上运动所需额外卡路里的三分之一。也就是说,一场本应消耗500卡路里的跑步最终只消耗了165卡路里)”引出了关于能量消耗的新研究发现。空处需引出专家对这一反常现象的另一角度的解释。选项F“But experts try to explain this phenomenon from another aspect.(但专家们试图从另一个角度解释这一现象)”起到了转折和过渡的作用,符合语境。
【18题详解】
上文“That is, a run that should have burned 500 calories only ended up burning 165 calories.(也就是说,一场本应消耗500卡路里的跑步最终只消耗了165卡路里)”列举了热量消耗打折的具体数据。空后“It is known as energy compensation (补偿), which is changing an old belief: exercise is a direct engine for weight loss.(这被称为能量补偿,它正在改变“运动是减重的直接引擎”这一旧有观念)”引出了这一现象的专业术语。空处需对前文的数据现象进行总结概括。选项G“The body seems to save energy elsewhere when you exercise more.(当你运动更多时,身体似乎会在其他地方节省能量)”是对前文数据现象的提炼,自然引出了后文的“energy compensation”概念,符合语境。
【19题详解】
上文“This suggests that when people are more active, their bodies may unconsciously reduce energy spent on other daily movements.(这表明,当人们更活跃时,他们的身体可能会无意识地减少在其他日常活动中的能量消耗)”提出了身体会减少其他活动的能耗。空后“That way, it keeps total daily energy use within narrow limits.(通过这种方式,它将每日总能量消耗保持在有限的范围内)”说明了这种调节机制的最终结果。空处需具体举例说明身体是如何减少其他能耗的。选项D“People might walk slower when tired.(人们在疲劳时可能会走得更慢)”是对“reduce energy spent on other daily movements”的具体阐释,符合语境。
【20题详解】
上文阐述了能量补偿的普遍性机制。空后“In follow-up studies, only about half of the participants showed clear signs of compensation.(在后续研究中,只有约一半的参与者表现出明显的补偿迹象)”指出并非所有人都会出现这种现象。空处需引出个体差异这一话题。选项B“In fact, not everyone compensates.(事实上,并非所有人都会进行能量补偿)”与后文数据紧密衔接,符合语境。

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。
Recently, the Chinese film Dear You has become one of the country’s biggest word-of-mouth surprises. Made on a relatively modest budget, ____36____ (feature) mostly unknown actors, the film has nonetheless exploded online through audience recommendations alone.
It ____37____ (tell) a story of family, migration, love, and ____38____ (separate) across generations. Rather than relying on dramatic turns or explosive conflict, the film quietly builds emotion through letters. In many ways, the letters become emotional time capsules (时间胶囊) — preserving feelings that would otherwise disappear into silence. Unlike many Western romance films that stress ____39____ (open) expressing love, Dear You reflects a more controlled emotional tradition often found in Chinese culture as love is rarely spoken directly. Instead, it ____40____ (hide) in patience, responsibility, and quiet endurance. That is also ____41____ letters get such a special place in Chinese storytelling.
In a world of quick messaging and short videos, the slow emotional rhythm ____42____ handwritten letters suddenly feels powerful again.
It currently holds ____43____ remarkable 9.1 rating (out of 10) on Douban. Now, the film is beginning to reach international audiences as well. ____44____ (release) on May 15, Dear You was screened at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, regarded as a key step toward the ____45____ (globe) stage.
French publisher Boris Pugnet said that he had strong confidence in the film, as the story of ordinary Chinese people from that historical era carries a universal emotional power.
【答案】36. featuring
37. tells 38. separation
39. openly 40. is hidden
41. why 42. of
43. a 44. Released
45. global
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了中国电影《亲爱的你》凭借口碑逆袭,以书信承载中式含蓄情感,亮相戛纳获国际认可。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影制作成本相对低廉,以大多不知名演员为主角,却仅凭观众口口相传在网络上爆红。句中已有谓语动词has exploded,且无连词,故空格处应用非谓语形式;feature“由……主演/以……为特色”与其逻辑主语the film为主动关系,用现在分词形式featuring作状语。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:它讲述了一个关于家庭、迁徙、爱与几代人之间分离的故事。此处描述电影的内容梗概,属于客观事实,应用一般现在时;主语It为第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式tells。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。根据空前and可知,此处与family, migration, love并列,作介词of的宾语,应用名词separation“分离”,不可数。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:和很多强调直白表达爱意的西方爱情电影不同,《亲爱的你》体现了中国文化中更内敛的情感传统。修饰动词expressing,需用副词openly“坦率地、直白地”作状语。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:相反,它被隐藏在耐心、责任与默默的坚守之中。此处描述影片反映的文化特征,应用一般现在时;主语it(指代love)与hide为被动关系,需要用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为单数,填入is hidden。
【41题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这也是为何书信在中国叙事中占据如此特殊地位的原因。is后为表语从句,从句缺少状语,表达“为什么”的含义,用连接副词why。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:在即时通讯和短视频的时代,手写信件的缓慢情感节奏突然再次充满力量。此处表示“手写信件的节奏”,用所有格介词of构成所属关系。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:目前它在豆瓣上保持着惊人的9.1分(满分10分)。rating为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且remarkable发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:《亲爱的你》于5月15日上映,并在第79届戛纳电影节展映,这被视为迈向国际舞台的关键一步。句中已有谓语动词was screened,且无连词,故空格处应用非谓语形式;release“发行/上映”与其逻辑主语Dear You为被动关系,故用过去分词released作状语,句首单词首字母大写。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。根据空后名词stage可知,此处需用形容词global“全球的,全世界的”作定语。
第三节 选词填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
A

49. Teenagers often find it hard to _________ to their parents, since the two generations grew up with completely different values and lifestyles.

【答案】46. C 47. E
48. A 49. D
50. B
【解析】
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意:许多学生对气候变化仍持被动态度,只是观看新闻,而并未在日常生活中采取任何实际行动来减少浪费。空格前是系动词remain,需填入形容词作表语;后半句 “只看新闻、不采取实际行动”体现了消极、不主动的态度,passive 意为“被动的、消极的”,remain passive about 表示“对…… 持消极态度”,完全契合语境。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意:舞者优雅地在舞台上移动,每一个动作都讲述着一个无法用言语完全表达的故事。空格修饰名词manner,需填入形容词;句子描述舞者的舞台姿态,elegant manner意为“优雅的仪态”,与舞者的形象和“每个姿态都诉说故事”的意境高度匹配。
【48题详解】
考查动词。句意:每天早上,我会伸展四肢十分钟,这有助于唤醒身体,防止跑步后出现肌肉酸痛。空格在主语 I后作谓语,需填入动词;stretch one’s arms and legs 是固定表达,意为“伸展四肢”,符合“晨起热身、预防跑步酸痛”的场景逻辑。
【49题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:青少年常常难以理解父母,因为两代人成长过程中所秉持的价值观和生活方式截然不同。空处为不定式to后,应为动词或动词短语原形,relate to sb. 是固定短语,意为“理解、认同某人,与某人产生共鸣”;句子表达两代人因成长环境不同,青少年难以和父母互相理解,符合固定搭配与句意逻辑。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意:这部小说深度出人意料,尽管篇幅短小,却以令人久久难忘的方式探讨了友谊与失去。空格前是形容词surprising,需填入名词;后文提到小说探讨了友谊与失去的主题,让读者印象深刻,说明薄薄的书却有思想深度,surprising depth 意为“惊人的深度”,契合语境。
B
阅读下面短文,从方框所给选项中分别选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。注意:每个选项只能使用一次,每部分方框中有2个多余选项。
A. sufficient B. attach C. charge D. precisely
E. demonstrate F. exceptionally G. attempt
Many people ____51____ to learn a new skill, but most give up too soon. The problem is rarely their talent; more often, their practice time is simply not ____52____. Half an hour once a week will never lead to real improvement. To succeed, one must ____53____ real value to daily practice and treat it as a fixed habit. Small efforts, repeated regularly, ____54____ a person’s true determination over time. This is why so many online courses remain unfinished and so many gym memberships go unused after January. Yet the real challenge lies elsewhere: it is ____55____ the slow, invisible progress — the weeks without visible change — that tests one’s patience greatly and those who stick it out will finally get what they deserve.
【答案】51. G 52. A
53. B 54. E
55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文阐述学习新技能半途而废的核心原因是练习不足,坚持日常积累才能见证自身毅力。
【51题详解】
考查动词。句意:很多人尝试学习一项新技能,但大多数人很快就放弃了。空处作谓语,主语为many people,全文为一般现在时,用动词原形,根据下文“but most give up too soon”可知人们起初会去尝试,attempt意为“尝试”。
【52题详解】
考查形容词。句意:问题很少出在天赋上,更多时候只是练习时间不够充足。空处在系动词is后作表语,根据下文“Half an hour once a week will never lead to real improvement”可知,每周短时练习达不到标准,sufficient意为“充足的”符合题意。
【53题详解】
考查动词。句意:想要取得进步,人们必须重视每日练习,并将其定为固定习惯。空处在情态动词must后用动词原形,固定搭配attach value to表示“重视”,attach意为“赋予;贴上”。
【54题详解】
考查动词。句意:长期规律的微小付出,能够展现一个人真正的决心。空处在主语后作谓语,主语small efforts为复数,谓语用动词原形,根据长期坚持练习体现毅力这一逻辑可知,demonstrate意为“展现,证明”符合题意。
【55题详解】
考查副词。句意:但真正的考验另有出处:恰恰是缓慢、看不见的进步——数周都没有明显变化的阶段,极大考验人的耐心,坚持到底的人终会收获回报。空处用于修饰动词,根据句子突出缓慢进步才是核心考验可知,precisely意为“恰恰,正是”。

An Unforgettable Trip
Last month, I took a trip to Huangshan with my parents, which turned out to be the most unforgettable journey I had ever had.
We climbed the mountain early in the morning. While walking along the stone steps, I admired strange rocks and green pines standing on steep peaks. At sunrise, the golden sunlight covered the sea of clouds, and I was shocked deeply by its beauty. Though tired, we kept moving forward until reaching the top.
This trip leaves me a lasting memory. It teaches me that only persistent efforts can bring us amazing views worth expecting.

第二节(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was the star of my high school football team. At thirty-seven, stuck in a desk job and with a soft belly (肚子) from years of inactivity, I could barely finish a full round, out of breath. But to my ten-year-old son, Leo, I was still Dad — the hero who could do anything.
It was a Saturday morning. I drove Leo to his youth football practice as usual. After we arrived, I followed him to the football field. I watched the kid players run eagerly. They moved very fast and they never seemed to get tired. Their happy laughs spread all over the field. Leo moved quickly. He kicked the ball with his left foot. The ball flew into the net. The other kids cheered loudly. Leo smiled with pride.
This familiar scene made me think of my own youth — a vivid memory suddenly flashed through my mind: in my high school days, I also ran freely on the field, kicked the ball skillfully, and won cheers from everyone around.
Suddenly, the coach called out, “Parent-child game! Any dads want to play?” Some parents stood up confidently. Leo ran to me with hope. “Please, Dad!” His voice was filled with expectation, and I couldn’t bear to let him down.
“I haven’t played in years. I’m out of shape,” I refused with embarrassment, avoiding his eyes. “So what?” Leo replied. “You’re the best dad ever!” I looked at the field and finally at Leo’s hopeful face.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stood up and walked onto the field.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I stood up and walked onto the field. When I tried to run, my soft belly shook, which made me feel embarrassed. Soon I was panting heavily, but Leo, who was waving his hands wildly, kept shouting, “Come on, Dad!” His words warmed my heart and gave me the power that I had lost for years. I gritted my teeth, ignoring the sweat that rolled down my forehead. Finally, I managed to kick the ball into the net, which brought loud cheers from everyone present. At that moment, I realized that what really mattered was not winning but showing up for my son.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了37岁的父亲因多年伏案工作身材走样,为了在十岁儿子Leo面前维护“英雄”形象,克服自卑心理,最终鼓起勇气参加亲子足球赛的故事。

A
Ireland’s a great place for a holiday: There’s beautiful scenery, charming towns and the people are wonderful. But it’s also a great place if you’re planning to study abroad.
Talkers
The best thing about studying in Ireland is that you’ll have so many opportunities to practise English. The Irish are an expressive nation, and just love chatting. In fact, they’re possibly the most sociable people in the world and just love talking to strangers and foreigners. You’ll soon feel welcome, and if you ever feel like having a chat, just run down to a local place serving drinks and you’ll find someone who’s willing to talk to you.
Writers
Ever since English became the most common language, the Irish have contributed to it, improved it, enriched it and given it something special. The Irish produced many world-class English-language writers, which is incredible when you consider how small Ireland’s population is (about 4 million people). Many of the famous writers and novelists who you probably thought were “English”, were in fact Irish, such as George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, and Oscar Wilde.
Beauty
You’ll also be amazed by Ireland’s natural beauty. There are charming towns and picturesque villages with welcoming locals. In fact, Ireland is full of small towns with a lively social life. Even the capital city, Dublin, only has a million people living there. Ireland is also a country with a lot of history, and a well-defined culture. You can find out all about this in the many museums, libraries, art galleries, theatres and music festivals.
On top of that, you can do just about any sport you like, whether it’s golf, riding, sailing, walking, fishing or anything else.
1. Where is it recommended to begin a chat with strangers?
A. In a local museum. B. In a local bar.
C. In a small town. D. In a music festival.
2. How have the Irish enriched the English language?
A. By producing famous writers. B. By hosting literary exchange activities.
C. By teaching English to foreign students. D. By making English the most common language.
3. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why Ireland is so rich in culture. B. How the Irish have improved their lives.
C. How the Irish have fun with sports and friends. D. Why Ireland is a good choice for overseas students.
B
It was 2016 and Emma worked as a communication specialist at a school for children with autism(自闭症). A mum came to her and explained the reason behind her tears. “My son had a breakdown that morning and beat my baby hard. I was just stressed.” Sadly, Emma had met many heartbroken parents who felt disconnected. “No one I know understands what I’m going through,” many told her. Some said they had little time to socialise, others explained family and friends had stopped inviting them to events because they were thought too busy. Having a disabled child was often seen as shameful, which left parents feeling lonely and disconnected. Emma always offered a caring ear but wished she could do more to help.
Reading emotions was difficult for Emma, but she learned to observe others carefully. She wanted to do more than just listen. “I want to connect parents of kids with disabilities,” she told her husband Andrius, an IT developer. “Why don’t we build an app?” he suggested.
Over the next two years, they designed Kindship. It was designed as a safe, judgment-free space where parents of children with disabilities could share experiences, exchange practical advice, and support one another. By 2018, the app rolled out. Members soon reported feeling less alone. “I met my best friend here,” one mother said. “It’s so refreshing chatting with mums who really get it,” others commented. Some even arranged local meetups through the platform.
In 2022, with government support, they enlarged Kindship with a bigger team. Emma then contacted parents of children with other disabilities and asked them to help extend the operations to reach more parents across Australia. Today, Emma is a mother of two and leads a team at Kindship. “I’m determined to keep helping children with disabilities and their parents get the support they deserve,” she says.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly describe?
A. Emma’s working conditions. B. The challenges that Emma overcame.
C. The difficulties that autistic children met. D. The annoyance faced by parents of autistic kids.
5. What did Emma do to help the mums with disabled children?
A. Set up an organization. B. Provide some online courses.
C. Develop an app with her husband. D. Treat their children with specific measures.
6. How do parents benefit from Kindship?
A. By obtaining funding support. B. By gaining popularity through chatting.
C. By improving their children’s behaviors. D. By getting emotional relief from connection.
7. What can we learn from Emma’s experience?
A. A good beginning is half done. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C
Getting wet by a water gun while on vacation might sound like typical holiday fun for the tourists. Less so when it is from an angry native shouting: “Tourists go home!” That less than friendly greeting was among the protests (抗议) which took place across several tourist hot spots this summer, as local people in destinations released their anger at the impact mass tourism was having on their communities.
But there’s another model of tourism out there, one which gives a very welcome shot in the arm. Take the ancient country houses of the Minho region for example. Known as Solares, these were also being deserted by families unable to afford their upkeep, until an enterprising (有创业精神的) group of local owners came together to promote them as very individual homestays. The result? Grand houses which had been a key part of the local economy are restored, and jobs and opportunities are created in a landscape which was starved of both.
The Solares are among the destinations recommended by Inntravel — a tour company which, as its sustainability lead Ruth Woodall puts it, enables people to “take the road less travelled — it’s the polar opposite of mass tourism”. Rather than a tour group, the typical size of an Inntravel party is two, usually a couple which lends itself to homestays and small hotels or guest houses. And with many customers preferring self-guided walking holidays, which means there’s plenty of opportunity for them to stay in communities that are, in more ways than one, “far from the madding crowd”. That in turn, says Woodall, helps the company meet one of its three key sustainability goals: engaging and supporting local communities. The other two are dealing with the climate crisis-by, for example, promoting rail travel as one of the features of a holiday instead of arriving by air — and restoring nature. And these can often go together.
Holidays like this are rooted in the landscape. It’s a world where visitors can bring real benefits to communities — and avoid being wet by a water gun. Except, perhaps, in fun.
8. Why did the tourists get wet in several tourist hot spots?
A. They took part in a festival. B. They entertained themselves.
C. They negatively influenced the locals. D. They were caught in summer rainfall.
9. What can we know about Solares?
A. They are where the locals live. B. They are protected as cultural sites.
C. They were built by an enterprising group. D. They were once in disrepair for lack of money.
10. Which of the following is a feature of an Inntravel holiday?
A. People travel in large organized groups. B. People follow professional tour guides.
C. People arrive at destinations by train only. D. People travel without harming the environment.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare different travel companies. B. To introduce a different form of tourism.
C. To explain why local people dislike visitors. D. To criticize the bad manners of modern tourists.
D
Obesity (肥胖) spreads “contagiously (传染性的)” through social networks, according to a highly publicised 2007 study, and since then, some researchers have been working to use social networks to solve the obesity problem. A recently published study suggests that this may in fact be possible. MIT researchers discovered that grouping people with similar characteristics into fitness-focused social networks led to more individuals adopting new activities that promote healthier lifestyles.
It is hoped that this study will in time open up new directions of research in the area. Ray Browning, a physiologist at Colorado State University who has studied health interventions (干预) and social networks but was not involved with the study, stated that more thoughtfully designed weight-loss interventions centered on social networks will appear and be more successful.
Browning noted that some people who keep weight loss for a long period also change who they spend their time with. He pointed out that some of these individuals completely change their social network, moving from one to another that includes more healthful behaviors. Changing one’s behaviors may be easier by adding a new individual to one’s group, such as a personal trainer, who can encourage better habits and health-promoting activities.
However, while the study showed some success, Browning pointed out that the results may not apply to everyone. There were relatively fewer obese people in the study than in the general population, and as the sample (样本) was obtained from a fitness group, those involved were already looking for ways to be healthier. Additionally, it remains unclear how other new health behaviors might spread through a group, because keeping a record of what you eat is easier than beginning an intense exercise programme, which requires a lot of effort to stick to.
Browning commented that the study likely represents a best case for behaviour adoption, with many factors working in its favour. Still, he stressed that the study pushes research in the right direction, describing it as a nice way to start the discussion of how to design social network-related interventions.
12. What does the MIT study mainly show?
A. Obesity spreads rapidly online. B. Social networks determine weight.
C. Similar people group together easily. D. Fitness networks promote healthy habits.
13. What is Browning’s suggestion according to paragraph 3?
A. Sticking to one’s social circle. B. Bringing in health-focused people.
C. Avoiding group exercise programs. D. Setting up specific weight-loss goals.
14. What limitation of the study is mentioned?
A. The study period was too short. B. The study method was not systematic.
C. The participants were difficult to track. D. The sample was not representative enough.
15. What is Browning’s attitude to the study?
A. Critical of its practical value. B. Supportive of its research direction.
C. Enthusiastic about its widespread use. D. Reserved due to its insufficient follow-up.

New research suggests the body may limit how many calories (热量) you burn during exercise — that is why weight loss is often smaller than people expect.
Most people believe: If we move more, we will burn more calories and weigh less. ____16____ In some studies, exercise burns fewer calories than predicted. Even when people add more exercise such as walking, jogging, and cycling, most of them lose only 3.5 pounds over 6 months.
Part of the reason is that working out can make you hungrier, making it easier to eat back the calories burned. ____17____ In a 2025 study they found people only burned about 1/3 of the extra calories their exercise theoretically demanded. That is, a run that should have burned 500 calories only ended up burning 165 calories. ____18____ It is known as energy compensation (补偿), which is changing an old belief: exercise is a direct engine for weight loss.
The idea of energy compensation appeared after a 2012 study. It found that a hunter-gatherer population in Tanzania burned about the same number of calories as inactive people, although they walked many more miles. This suggests that when people are more active, their bodies may unconsciously reduce energy spent on other daily movements. ____19____ That way, it keeps total daily energy use within narrow limits.
____20____ In follow-up studies, only about half of the participants showed clear signs of compensation. When it did happen, researchers think it came from people becoming more skilled at the exercise itself, with their bodies adapting to do the same work with less energy.
A. So never give up on exercise.
B. In fact, not everyone compensates.
C. That isn’t the case for most people.
D. People might walk slower when tired.
E. Researchers think it came from the exercise itself.
F. But experts try to explain this phenomenon from another aspect.
G. The body seems to save energy elsewhere when you exercise more.

It ____37____ (tell) a story of family, migration, love, and ____38____ (separate) across generations.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was the star of my high school football team. At thirty-seven, stuck in a desk job and with a soft belly (肚子) from years of inactivity, I could barely finish a full round, out of breath. But to my ten-year-old son, Leo, I was still Dad — the hero who could do anything.
It was a Saturday morning. I drove Leo to his youth football practice as usual. After we arrived, I followed him to the football field. I watched the kid players run eagerly. They moved very fast and they never seemed to get tired. Their happy laughs spread all over the field. Leo moved quickly. He kicked the ball with his left foot. The ball flew into the net. The other kids cheered loudly. Leo smiled with pride.
This familiar scene made me think of my own youth — a vivid memory suddenly flashed through my mind: in my high school days, I also ran freely on the field, kicked the ball skillfully, and won cheers from everyone around.
Suddenly, the coach called out, “Parent-child game! Any dads want to play?” Some parents stood up confidently. Leo ran to me with hope. “Please, Dad!” His voice was filled with expectation, and I couldn’t bear to let him down.
“I haven’t played in years. I’m out of shape,” I refused with embarrassment, avoiding his eyes. “So what?” Leo replied. “You’re the best dad ever!” I looked at the field and finally at Leo’s hopeful face.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stood up and walked onto the field.
