We only publish original, unpublished contemporary poems. We publish less than 1% of poems submitted to us, and the review process can take an extremely long time.(不同于许多全盘刊登所有投稿作品的网站，我们经验丰富的编辑团队会逐首审阅每一篇诗作，只筛选出少量优质佳作，优秀作品会在平台长期展示。我们仅刊登原创、未曾公开发表的现代诗歌。我们刊发的稿件不足全部投稿总量的 1%，而且审稿周期可能会非常漫长。)”可知，该平台筛选标准十分严格，这是它脱颖而出的原因。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Submission Guidelines部分“Poems must effectively use imagery, metaphors, similes, personification and so on.(诗歌必须恰当运用意象、隐喻、明喻、拟人等写作手法。)”可知，投稿指南建议创作者使用各类诗歌写作技巧。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Looking to share your poetry with a wider audience?(想要向更多读者分享你的诗作吗？)” 以及文末“Click here to submit your poem!(点击此处投递你的诗歌！)”可知，整篇文章面向想要投稿诗歌的创作者，目标受众是诗歌投稿者。 B When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly café that was half-way between a tiny, trendy coffee shop and a large chain, he started one himself, Coffi Lab — coffi is Welsh for coffee and the lab refers to Labradors (a breed of dog). It’s not his first try in coffee shops. He sold his first business, Coffee #1, in 2011 for about £10 million to SA Brain, the Welsh brewer. However, he missed his business after the sale. He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough café, inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca, but shelved the idea because “the market seemed a little too good to be true”. In 2020, he sensed an unmet need for cafés that had enough “space to take my labrador in”. His plan was to open coffee shops big enough for dogs and their owners, with friendly staff selling good food and coffee. Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells, plus first-day takings from each store it opens. So far, it has raised more than £100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. Coffi Lab now has 11 sites, with number 12 opening soon in Pontcanna, and three more over the next year in Wiltshire and Shropshire, all within 100 miles from its base in Cardiff. “I feel quite strongly about being able to visit frequently, so it’s not going to become a one-a-week blind expansion,” he said. Coffi Lab began doing its own baking in 2023, when Shapland decided that buying in pre-packaged baked goods and sandwiches wouldn’t keep customers coming back. “When you do that, you end up with average food that you’re selling for £5 and it’s not what people want” — especially when they are paying £4 for a coffee. 4. What sets Coffi Lab apart in the first two paragraphs? A. A middle-positioned café concept. B. A sourdough café plan. C. A former Coffee #1 brand. D. A pizza-chain model. 5. What does Coffi Lab do besides serving food and coffee? A. Provide dog training sessions. B. Run a dog welfare foundation. C. Donate dog biscuits to charity. D. Fund a dog charitable organization. 6. Which word best describes Shapland’s business approach? A. Thoughtless. B. Strategic. C. Idealistic. D. Careful. 7. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. Coffee prices have been rising. B. Food shouldn’t cost more than coffee. C. Food and coffee should be priced reasonably. D. Customers expect better food for their money. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了James Shapland创立的Coffi Lab，一家对狗狗友好的咖啡馆及其经营理念和发展情况。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly café that was half-way between a tiny, trendy coffee shop and a large chain, he started one himself, Coffi Lab (当詹姆斯·沙普兰 (James Shapland)发现市场上存在一个空白，即一家介于小型时尚咖啡馆和大型连锁店之间的对狗狗友好的咖啡馆时，他自己创办了一家，名为Coffi Lab)”可知，Coffi Lab的独特之处在于其介于小型时尚咖啡馆和大型连锁店之间的咖啡馆概念。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells, plus first-day takings from each store it opens. So far, it has raised more than £100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. (Coffi Lab还捐赠其出售的自制狗饼干所得的利润，以及每家新店开业首日的收入。到目前为止，它已经为导盲犬慈善机构筹集了超过10万英镑的资金，并赞助了11只在训的导盲犬)”可知，Coffi Lab除了提供食物和咖啡外，还资助导盲犬慈善机构。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, he missed his business after the sale. He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough café, inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca, but shelved the idea because “the market seemed a little too good to be true”.(然而，出售业务后，他怀念自己的生意。2017年，他受披萨连锁店Franco Manca成功的启发，制定了一个酸面包咖啡馆的计划，但后来搁置了这个想法，因为“市场看起来好得令人难以置信”)”以及后文对Coffi Lab的详细规划可知，沙普兰在经营上是有策略的。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“When you do that, you end up with average food that you’re selling for £5 and it’s not what people want” — especially when they are paying £4 for a coffee. (当你这样做时，你最终会得到平均水平的食物，却以5英镑的价格出售，而这并不是人们想要的——尤其是当他们为咖啡支付4英镑时)”可知，顾客花了钱，希望能买到品质更好的食物（咖啡4英镑，那么面包和三明治的价格应高于咖啡，即，品质应更好），而非普通的食品，所以划线部分的意思是顾客期望用他们支付的钱买到更好的食物。故选D。 C Across the globe, dozens of lesser-known languages are slipping into extinction at an alarming rate. Dominated by mainstream languages like English, Spanish and Mandarin, modern globalization has marginalized (边缘化) hundreds of regional dialects and indigenous tongues, many of which are on the edge of being silenced forever. This often goes unnoticed by the wider world, yet it is happening every day in remote villages and communities. Linguists (语言学家) warn that if no effective intervention is conducted, nearly a third of the world’s 6,000 existing languages will die out within the next century. The loss of a language involves far more than the loss of a communication tool. Each language serves as an invisible carrier of a nation’s collective memory, holding unique folk tales, traditional wisdom, and distinctive ways of perceiving the world. When a language dies, these unique perspectives may disappear with it, leaving no trace behind. Unlike standardized global languages that focus on efficiency and uniformity, minority languages boast subtle expressions and cultural richness that no mainstream language can replace. To lose a language, scholars emphasize, is to erase an irrecoverable part of human civilization’s diversity. Admittedly, the irresistible trend of urbanization and cross-regional communication makes it impractical to preserve every dying language in its original form. After all, it is natural for people to seek more widely spoken languages for better job opportunities and social mobility. However, numerous grassroots communities and academic institutions have launched innovative campaigns to save endangered languages. Some add dialect teaching into local primary education; others record oral stories of elderly native speakers and digitize them for lasting preservation. Some young people even mix traditional dialects with pop music, making old tongues fashionable and accessible to the younger generation. Preserving minority languages does not mean resisting globalization or rejecting dominant languages. Instead, it seeks to strike a delicate balance between global integration and cultural rootedness. A diverse linguistic landscape, as many researchers put it, is not a barrier to global connection, but a precious heritage that enriches and enlightens human society as a whole. 8. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1? A. The spread of urbanization to remote communities. B. The rapid disappearance of many minority languages. C. The dominance of a few major languages worldwide. D. The growing pressure on speakers of endangered languages. 9. Which aspect of minority languages is stressed in Paragraph 2? A. Their tendency to go extinct. B. Their lack of regional features. C. Their constant changes over time. D. Their irreplaceable cultural value. 10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Efforts to save dying languages. B. Solutions to driving urbanization. C. Benefits of speaking mainstream languages. D. Problems with cross-regional communication. 11. What is the author’s view on linguistic diversity? A. It stands in the way of globalization. B. It promotes the progress of human society. C. It results from opposition to global integration. D. It contributes to dominant languages’ development. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述全球化致使大量小众语言濒临消失，语言承载独特文化内涵，各界正多措并举加以保护，语言多样性能够丰富人类文明。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Across the globe, dozens of lesser-known languages are slipping into extinction at an alarming rate.(在全球范围内，数十种小众语言正以惊人的速度濒临消亡。)”可知，第一段描写了众多少数民族语言快速消亡的现象。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To lose a language, scholars emphasize, is to erase an irrecoverable part of human civilization’s diversity.(学者强调，一门语言的消亡意味着人类文明多样性中不可挽回的一部分就此消失。)”可知，第二段着重强调小众语言不可替代的文化价值。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, numerous grassroots communities and academic institutions have launched innovative campaigns to save endangered languages. Some add dialect teaching into local primary education; others record oral stories of elderly native speakers and digitize them for lasting preservation. Some young people even mix traditional dialects with pop music, making old tongues fashionable and accessible to the younger generation.(但众多基层社区与学术机构已开展特色创新活动，抢救濒危语言。一部分地区将方言纳入当地小学课程；还有团队寻访本土高龄长者、记录口述故事并数字化存档，实现长久留存。不少年轻人把传统方言和流行音乐融合，让古老方言焕发新潮，便于年轻一代接触学习。)”可知，本段主要介绍人们为挽救消亡语言所付出的各项努力。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A diverse linguistic landscape, as many researchers put it, is not a barrier to global connection, but a precious heritage that enriches and enlightens human society as a whole.(多样的语言环境并非全球交流的阻碍，而是能丰富、启迪全人类社会的宝贵遗产。)” 可知，作者认为语言多样性能够推动人类社会进步。 D We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin (旋转) so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments (碎片) out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra (光谱), the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 12. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A. It ignores the special visual effects. B. It goes against the established facts. C. It overestimates the super heroes’ role. D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A. Unlikely. B. Uncommon. C. Unavoidable. D. Unimportant. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The formation of asteroid families. B. The definition of orbital elements. C. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. D. The naming rule of asteroid groups. 15. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A. It is a high-risk practice. B. It is built on assumptions. C. Its range needs to be expanded. D. Its value can’t be overstated. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕小行星展开介绍，讲述了科幻电影中的错误场景、小行星碰撞后产生碎片并形成小行星家族的过程以及研究小行星家族的意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another.(这很刺激，但这是错误的：在我们的太阳系中，你很有可能站在一颗小行星的表面而甚至看不到另一颗小行星。)”可知，作者指出电影中的场景虽然刺激，但与现实情况不符，电影情节违背了既定事实。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable.(然而，如果给它们足够的时间，它们确实会互动。即使在火星和木星轨道之间的小行星带，碰撞也是ineluctable。)”以及“when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt(当两块太空岩石在主带中“撞击”时)”可知，小行星在长时间下会发生相互作用，并讲述了两块岩石撞击的情况，由此可推测出，碰撞应该是必然会发生的。ineluctable意为“不可避免的”，与unavoidable意思相近。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group.(在许多情况下，这些碎片与母小行星保持在大致相同的轨道上，尽管由于速度略有不同，它们会逐渐与母小行星分离。数千年后，一些碎片可能会完全在太阳对面，但它们与太阳的距离以及轨道的形状和方向仍然相似。这些保存下来的特征统称为小行星的轨道要素。共享轨道要素的组合被确定为“家族”，以该组合中最大的小行星命名。)”可知，本段主要讲述了小行星碰撞产生碎片，碎片因保留相似的轨道要素而形成“小行星家族”的过程，即小行星家族的形成。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s more than a mere academic exercise... we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids.(这不仅仅是单纯的学术练习……我们可以保卫我们的星球免受未来令人担忧的小行星的威胁。)”可知，对小行星家族的研究不仅具有学术意义，更重要的是它能帮助我们了解威胁地球的小行星的来源，从而保卫地球。由此推断，这项研究的价值极其重要。 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。 Money Matters Parents should help their children understand money. ___16___. So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example. ● The basic function of money Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).___17___. When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money. ● Money lessons Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. ___18___. If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.” ● ___19___ Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a kind of name-brand butter and a generic (无商标消费品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. ___20___. If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases. A. Wise decisions B. The value of money C. Permit the child to choose between them D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store G. The best time to teach a child something about money is when he shows an interest 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了家长如何帮助孩子们理解有关金钱的问题。并从三方面提供了解决问题的方法：解释钱的基本功能、教会孩子理性花钱和做出明智的选择。 【16题详解】 根据下文“So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example. (因此，当你的孩子对买东西、糖果或玩具表现出兴趣时，你可能会开始谈论金钱)”可知，空格处和下文应该是因果关系，且下文的“when your child shows an interest in buying things”是对此处信息的复现。G项“The best time to teach a child something about money is when he shows an interest. (教孩子一些关于金钱的知识的最佳时机是当他表现出兴趣的时候)”符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 空格处内容应该与上一句“If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). (如果他想要玩具，就把钱给他，让他把钱交给收银员)”有关，都是关于买玩具的事情。F项“Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store. (谈谈你离开玩具店后，钱是怎么买的)”与本段小标题“The basic function of money (货币的基本功能)”是非常吻合的。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据后文的两个假设，即两个if引导的从句来看，此处应是对后文意义的概括，即告诉孩子为什么能或者不能买某些东西。D项“Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things. (告诉你的孩子为什么他可以或不能拥有某些东西)”符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 此处是小标题。根据下文“Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a kind of name-brand butter and a generic (无商标消费品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.( 从杂货店开始。挑选两种类似品牌的产品，例如一种名牌黄油和一种仿制品。你可以向孩子展示如何在不同品牌的产品之间做出选择，这样你就可以省钱)”可知，这一段主要讲的是家长在商店如何帮助孩子做出明智的选择。根据各选项的句式不难看出答案应该在A、B两项中选择，再根据两项中的关键词decisions和value可知，A项“Wise decisions (明智的决定)”最能概括本段主旨。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“If he chooses the cheaper brand(如果他选择了更便宜的品牌)”可知，此处应说明允许孩子在不同的品牌之间做出选择。C项“Permit the child to choose between them. (允许孩子在两者之间做出选择)”符合语境。故选C项。 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四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 Most of us are bad at predicting what will make us happy, including the world’s best athletes.

But within a month, her joy had ___21___. “There’s nothing left,” she said. “It was super ___22___.” Gremaud is far from an isolated case. Researchers have found that a significant number of Olympians ___23___ from a phenomenon called the post-Olympic blues — a(n) ___24___ crash following the Games. For decades, scientists have sought to ___25___ why this happens. The answer starts with a simple but ___26___ fact: people are really bad at predicting what will make them happy. One of the main reasons for this is a cognitive ___27___ known as “focalism” — the tendency to focus ___28___ on big, life-changing events while ___29___ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life. When we imagine happiness, we tend to think of ___30___ moments: a championship, a promotion, a dream vacation. But here is what researchers have actually discovered: how good your experiences are doesn’t ___31___ nearly as much as how many good experiences you have. The ___32___ of small, positive moments is a far better ___33___ of overall happiness than the intensity of a single great event. ___34___, happiness is not one big victory. It is the ___35___ of hundreds of small things. 21. A. disappeared B. multiplied C. lessened D. collapsed 22. A. tiring B. empty C. lonely D. meaningless 23.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了人们很难预判什么能带来快乐，以冬奥冠军赛后陷入情绪低谷为例，介绍了后奥运忧郁症，借助聚焦偏差分析成因，点明幸福感源于日常点滴美好，而非单次重大时刻。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：但不到一个月，她的喜悦感就消失了。A. disappeared消失；B. multiplied增加；C. lessened消退；D. collapsed崩溃。根据下文“There’s nothing left”可知，此处是指喜悦之情消失。 【22题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种感觉极度空虚。A. tiring累人的；B. empty空虚的；C. lonely孤独的；D. meaningless无意义的。根据上文“There’s nothing left”可知，此处是指心里空空的。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：研究者已发现，大量奥运选手遭受一种叫“后奥运忧郁症”的现象困扰——这是赛事过后的情绪低谷。A. escape逃离；B. recover恢复；C. benefit受益；D. suffer遭受。根据下文“the post-Olympic blues”及“crash following the Games”可知，选手遭受这种负面状况，suffer from是固定搭配。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。A. emotional情绪的；B. physical身体的；C. sudden突然的；D. financial经济的。根据上文“post-Olympic blues”可知，忧郁是情绪方面的问题。 【25题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：几十年来，科学家一直试图弄明白这种现象出现的原因。A. carry out执行；B. point out指出；C. figure out弄明白；D. rule out排除。根据下文“why this happens”及“answer”可知，此处是指弄清楚成因。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：答案始于一个简单却令人吃惊的事实：人们真的不擅长预判什么能让自己快乐。A. apparent明显的；B. surprising令人吃惊的；C. remarkable非凡的；D. well-known众所周知的。根据上文“simple but”可知，but表转折，与简单形成反差的是令人惊讶的。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：其中一个主要原因是一种被称为“聚焦偏差”的认知偏见——它往往会让人们狭隘地关注改变人生的重大事件，而忽略生活里所有更细碎、日常的方面。A. bias偏差；B. ability能力；C. error错误；D. blindness盲目。根据下文“Focalism”及“the tendency to focus ____ on big, life-changing events while ____ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life”可知，这是一种认知偏差。 【28题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。A. narrowly狭隘地；B. broadly广泛地；C. briefly短暂地；D. casually随意地。根据上文“Focalism”及下文“big, life-changing events while ____ all the smaller, everyday aspects of life”可知，该偏差使人目光局限在大事上。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：同上。A. balancing平衡；B. remembering记得；C. ignoring忽略；D. overvaluing高估。根据上文“focus ____ on big, life-changing events”及“while”可知，此处是指忽视日常小事。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我们想象幸福时，往往会想到强烈的高光时刻：夺冠、升职、梦想中的度假旅行。A. memorable难忘的；B. intense强烈的；C. rare稀有的；D. daily日常的。根据下文“intensity of a single great event”可知，这些时刻情绪体验强烈。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：但研究者实际发现：经历本身有多美好，远不如你拥有美好经历的频次重要。A. differ不同；B. matter重要；C. improve改善；D. bother困扰。根据下文“a far better ____ of overall happiness”可知，此处是指重要。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：细碎积极瞬间的出现频次，比单次重大事件的强烈程度更能预测整体幸福感。A. duration时长；B. quality质量；C. frequency频次；D. variety多样。根据上文“how many good experiences you have”及下文“than the intensity of a single great event.”可知，此处是指频率。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。A. result结果；B. cause原因；C. reminder提醒；D. predictor指标。根据上文“people are really bad at predicting what will make them happy”可知，频次可以预判幸福感。 【34题详解】 考查副词。句意：事实上，幸福不是一场盛大的胜利。A. Fortunately幸运地；B. Similarly相似地；C. Obviously显然地；D. Actually事实上。根据上文“here is what researchers have actually discovered”、“than the intensity of a single great event”及下文“happiness is not one big victory.”可知，此处用Actually重申并强化研究结论。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：幸福是数百件小事累积的总和。A. mixture混合；B. outcome结果；C. sum总和；D. achievement成就。根据上文“small, positive moments”及“not one big victory”可知，幸福由无数小事累积而成。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Kites rank among humanity’s earliest flying inventions, their origins tracing back to China during the late Spring and Autumn Period (770—476 BC).

A kite-flying competition. ___42___ (interesting), a teenager named Homan Walsh skillfully piloted his kite across ___43___ divide. His kite string then served as a channel to pull heavier ropes and, ultimately, sturdy cables across the gorge, ___44___ (lay) the foundation for the iconic Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge. This story exemplifies the kite’s unexpected potential as a simple yet potent tool for overcoming complex engineering hurdles, proving that innovation often ____45____(spring) from unassuming origins. 【答案】36. fashioned 37. that##which 38. accessible 39. into 40. to blend 41. Their 42. Interestingly 43. the 44. laying 45. springs 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了风筝起源于中国并逐渐演变为休闲艺术品，以及其在1847年尼亚加拉瀑布悬索桥工程中意外成为关键工具的故事，展现了简单发明也能驱动复杂工程创新的道理。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些早期的“木鸟”由木头制成，主要用于军事信号和距离测量。此处在句中作定语，修饰wooden birds，wooden birds与fashion之间是被动关系，故用过去分词fashioned作后置定语。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这一朴素的起点为后来终将点缀全球天空的娱乐活动奠定了基础。此处引导定语从句，先行词为a pastime，指物，定语从句中缺少主语，故应用that/which引导定语从句。 【38题详解】 考查形容词的比较级。句意：随后东汉时期（公元25—220年）的造纸术革新彻底改变了风筝的设计，使其更轻、更廉价且更易获得。此处作宾语补足语，与lighter, more affordable并列，故此处也应用形容词的比较级more accessible，意为“更容易获得的”。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：这一关键转变将风筝从战争工具转变为备受珍视的休闲与艺术表达物品，不仅反映了技术进步，也体现了人类将实用与美感相融合的内在渴望。此处意为“把……从……转变为……”，表达为transform... from... into...，故此处应用介词into。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处作名词desire的后置定语，应用不定式，the desire to do意为“……的渴望”，故此处应用不定式to blend。 【41题详解】 考查形容词性物主代词。句意：工程师们面临着如何将第一条绳索穿过险峻峡谷以开始修建悬索桥的挑战。他们的解决方案是什么？此处构成省略问句“他们的解决方案呢?”，指代前文engineers，故应用形容词性物主代词their。位于句首，首字母大写。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：有趣的是，一位名叫Homan Walsh的少年熟练地将他的风筝放飞至峡谷对岸。此处位于句首，修饰整个句子，意为“有趣的是”，故需用interesting的副词形式Interestingly，位于句首，首字母应大写。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。此处divide为名词，意为“分界线、峡谷”，特指前文提到的尼亚加拉瀑布险峻峡谷，故用定冠词the表示特指。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随后，他的风筝线作为通道，将更重的绳索乃至坚固的钢缆拉过峡谷，为标志性的尼亚加拉大瀑布悬索桥奠定了基础。此处作结果状语，表示“风筝线作为引线拖曳更重绳索”这一行为所带来的自然而然的结果，故应用现在分词laying作结果状语。 【45题详解】 考查时态与主谓一致。句意：这个故事例证了风筝作为克服复杂工程难题的简单而有力工具的意外潜力，证明创新往往源自不起眼的开端。此处在宾语从句中作谓语动词，主语为innovation，为不可数名词，与spring之间为主动关系，且根据时间状语often可知，此处应用一般现在时springs。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假设你是英语课代表李华，上周你对本班48位同学开展了一项名为“A Survey on English Learning Challenges”的调查，结果如下图所示。请你根据图表信息给英语报的English Learning栏目投稿，内容包括： 1.简要描述图表内容； 2.针对其中一项挑战提出相应的学习建议。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 English Learning: From Problems to Solutions Last week, I did a survey on English Learning Challenges in our class. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 English Learning: From Problems to Solutions Last week, I did a survey on English Learning Challenges in our class.

Each morning before school, he found comfort in the silence of the pool. This daily discipline had built not just his body but also his spirit, giving him a quiet confidence and a deep understanding of the water’s power and peace. This inner calm was matched by a desire to help others. In school, he was the patient tutor who could explain complex maths in simple terms, and in his neighborhood, he was the reliable one who’d help carry groceries or fix a flat tire without a second thought. For Liam, assistance wasn’t a conscious choice but an instinctive (本能的) reaction, a response as natural as taking a breath. He never sought thanks; the simple act of making things right was its own reward. Liam had always felt a connection to Crystal Lake. Ever since he was a child, its deep, cool waters had been his escape from the world. Now, at sixteen, he was a familiar sight, swimming laps with a steady rhythm almost every afternoon. He found a peculiar peace in the weightless silence beneath the surface, a world away from the noise onshore. It was a perfect summer afternoon at Crystal Lake. The water was cool and inviting, reflecting the clear blue sky. Liam was enjoying a swim, moving effortlessly away from the crowded beach towards the quieter, deeper waters. He was a strong swimmer, proud of his swimming skill. As he treaded water, catching his breath, a sudden splash and a choked cry shattered the peace. A younger boy, who had been playing on an inflatable raft (充气筏), had fallen off and was now flailing (挥动) wildly. The boy’s panic was obvious; he was gasping for air, swallowing water instead. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Without hesitation, Liam swam to the boy quickly. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sam’s family rushed to Liam and Sam as they collapsed on the sand, gasping for air. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 Without hesitation, Liam swam to the boy quickly. Approaching from behind, he secured the struggling child with a firm grip, keeping both their heads above water. The boy, later known as Sam, flailed his arms frantically, pushing against Liam and dragging them both under. Liam remained calm. He kicked his legs hard, pushing through the water, and spoke in a low, steady voice, “Easy now, I’ve got you.” Each stroke was a battle against the boy’s panic and the water’s resistance. Gradually, his reassuring presence and strong technique eased Sam’s terror, allowing them to move steadily toward safety. As they neared the shore, alert bystanders splashed out to meet them, helping guide the exhausted pair onto the beach. Sam’s family rushed to Liam and Sam as they collapsed on the sand, gasping for air. Sam’s mother knelt and gathered her son into a tearful embrace. Then, with her eyes full of gratitude, she turned and clasped Liam’s hands tightly. Sam’s father placed a steadying hand on Liam’s shoulder, his voice thick with emotion as he simply said, “Thank you.” For Liam, the exhaustion that weighed down his limbs was already fading, replaced by a familiar, quiet warmth. Seeing Sam safe and feeling the family’s profound relief, he understood this was why he swam — not just for the peace it gave him, but for the strength it allowed him to share with others. Helping had always been his instinct, and today, that instinct had found its deepest meaning. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了16岁的Liam是游泳健将，他不仅在游泳中找到了内心的平静，还乐于助人。在Crystal Lake游泳时，他发现一个从充气筏上掉下来的男孩Sam正在水中挣扎，于是毫不犹豫地游过去救他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Liam毫不犹豫地迅速游向男孩。”可知，第一段可描写Liam救男孩的过程，包括如何接近男孩、如何安抚他的情绪、如何将他带回岸边等细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Liam和Sam瘫倒在沙滩上，喘着粗气时，Sam的家人冲向他们。”可知，第二段可描写Sam的家人对Liam的感激之情，以及Liam对此的感受和思考，强调他帮助他人的本能和游泳带给他的力量。 2.续写线索：迅速游向男孩——安抚男孩情绪——将男孩带回岸边——家人感激——Liam的感受和思考 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/be close to ②安抚：ease/calm/soothe ③带回：guide/lead/take back 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation ②平静：peace/calmness/serenity 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly café that was half-way between a tiny, trendy coffee shop and a large chain, he started one himself, Coffi Lab — coffi is Welsh for coffee and the lab refers to Labradors (a breed of dog). It’s not his first try in coffee shops. He sold his first business, Coffee #1, in 2011 for about £10 million to SA Brain, the Welsh brewer. However, he missed his business after the sale. He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough café, inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca, but shelved the idea because “the market seemed a little too good to be true”. In 2020, he sensed an unmet need for cafés that had enough “space to take my labrador in”. His plan was to open coffee shops big enough for dogs and their owners, with friendly staff selling good food and coffee. Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells, plus first-day takings from each store it opens. So far, it has raised more than £100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. Coffi Lab now has 11 sites, with number 12 opening soon in Pontcanna, and three more over the next year in Wiltshire and Shropshire, all within 100 miles from its base in Cardiff. “I feel quite strongly about being able to visit frequently, so it’s not going to become a one-a-week blind expansion,” he said. Coffi Lab began doing its own baking in 2023, when Shapland decided that buying in pre-packaged baked goods and sandwiches wouldn’t keep customers coming back. “When you do that, you end up with average food that you’re selling for £5 and it’s not what people want” — especially when they are paying £4 for a coffee. 4. What sets Coffi Lab apart in the first two paragraphs? A. A middle-positioned café concept. B. A sourdough café plan. C. A former Coffee #1 brand. D. A pizza-chain model. 5. What does Coffi Lab do besides serving food and coffee? A. Provide dog training sessions. B. Run a dog welfare foundation. C. Donate dog biscuits to charity. D. Fund a dog charitable organization. 6. Which word best describes Shapland’s business approach? A. Thoughtless. B. Strategic. C. Idealistic. D. Careful. 7. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. Coffee prices have been rising. B. Food shouldn’t cost more than coffee. C. Food and coffee should be priced reasonably. D. Customers expect better food for their money. C Across the globe, dozens of lesser-known languages are slipping into extinction at an alarming rate. Dominated by mainstream languages like English, Spanish and Mandarin, modern globalization has marginalized (边缘化) hundreds of regional dialects and indigenous tongues, many of which are on the edge of being silenced forever. This often goes unnoticed by the wider world, yet it is happening every day in remote villages and communities. Linguists (语言学家) warn that if no effective intervention is conducted, nearly a third of the world’s 6,000 existing languages will die out within the next century. The loss of a language involves far more than the loss of a communication tool. Each language serves as an invisible carrier of a nation’s collective memory, holding unique folk tales, traditional wisdom, and distinctive ways of perceiving the world. When a language dies, these unique perspectives may disappear with it, leaving no trace behind. Unlike standardized global languages that focus on efficiency and uniformity, minority languages boast subtle expressions and cultural richness that no mainstream language can replace. To lose a language, scholars emphasize, is to erase an irrecoverable part of human civilization’s diversity. Admittedly, the irresistible trend of urbanization and cross-regional communication makes it impractical to preserve every dying language in its original form. After all, it is natural for people to seek more widely spoken languages for better job opportunities and social mobility. However, numerous grassroots communities and academic institutions have launched innovative campaigns to save endangered languages. Some add dialect teaching into local primary education; others record oral stories of elderly native speakers and digitize them for lasting preservation. Some young people even mix traditional dialects with pop music, making old tongues fashionable and accessible to the younger generation. Preserving minority languages does not mean resisting globalization or rejecting dominant languages. Instead, it seeks to strike a delicate balance between global integration and cultural rootedness. A diverse linguistic landscape, as many researchers put it, is not a barrier to global connection, but a precious heritage that enriches and enlightens human society as a whole. 8. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1? A. The spread of urbanization to remote communities. B. The rapid disappearance of many minority languages. C. The dominance of a few major languages worldwide. D. The growing pressure on speakers of endangered languages. 9. Which aspect of minority languages is stressed in Paragraph 2? A. Their tendency to go extinct. B. Their lack of regional features. C. Their constant changes over time. D. Their irreplaceable cultural value. 10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Efforts to save dying languages. B. Solutions to driving urbanization. C. Benefits of speaking mainstream languages. D. Problems with cross-regional communication. 11. What is the author’s view on linguistic diversity? A. It stands in the way of globalization. B. It promotes the progress of human society. C. It results from opposition to global integration. D. It contributes to dominant languages’ development. D We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin (旋转) so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments (碎片) out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra (光谱), the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 12. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A. It ignores the special visual effects. B. It goes against the established facts. C. It overestimates the super heroes’ role. D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A. Unlikely. B. Uncommon. C. Unavoidable. D. Unimportant. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The formation of asteroid families. B. The definition of orbital elements. C. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. D. The naming rule of asteroid groups. 15. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A. It is a high-risk practice. B. It is built on assumptions. C. Its range needs to be expanded. D.

Each morning before school, he found comfort in the silence of the pool. This daily discipline had built not just his body but also his spirit, giving him a quiet confidence and a deep understanding of the water’s power and peace. This inner calm was matched by a desire to help others. In school, he was the patient tutor who could explain complex maths in simple terms, and in his neighborhood, he was the reliable one who’d help carry groceries or fix a flat tire without a second thought. For Liam, assistance wasn’t a conscious choice but an instinctive (本能的) reaction, a response as natural as taking a breath. He never sought thanks; the simple act of making things right was its own reward. Liam had always felt a connection to Crystal Lake. Ever since he was a child, its deep, cool waters had been his escape from the world. Now, at sixteen, he was a familiar sight, swimming laps with a steady rhythm almost every afternoon. He found a peculiar peace in the weightless silence beneath the surface, a world away from the noise onshore. It was a perfect summer afternoon at Crystal Lake. The water was cool and inviting, reflecting the clear blue sky. Liam was enjoying a swim, moving effortlessly away from the crowded beach towards the quieter, deeper waters. He was a strong swimmer, proud of his swimming skill. As he treaded water, catching his breath, a sudden splash and a choked cry shattered the peace. A younger boy, who had been playing on an inflatable raft (充气筏), had fallen off and was now flailing (挥动) wildly. The boy’s panic was obvious; he was gasping for air, swallowing water instead. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Without hesitation, Liam swam to the boy quickly. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sam’s family rushed to Liam and Sam as they collapsed on the sand, gasping for air. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
